"I'm just an ordinary woman, how can I give you any advice? But raising chickens is like raising children. First, you have to understand them, and then treat them well. Only then will they be close to you and obedient."
As she spoke, the old woman looked at the three fiery red chickens with a loving face!
Chen An frowned, feeling that there was something else behind the old woman's words, but it was just Chen An's feeling, he... had no evidence.
But at this moment, the old woman spoke again: "When I was young, I heard that when the imperial physician diagnosed a patient, he would always find out the root cause before prescribing the right medicine."
Chen An's eyes lit up and he was about to ask a question.
The old woman suddenly grinned, but the smile of this skinny old woman was really creepy.
The old woman spoke again: "I am very happy that you can come to visit me. I will give you this little thing as a gift!"
As she spoke, the old woman took out a cloth bag with her trembling hands, peeling off the layers one by one, revealing a scroll emitting golden light inside!
At this moment, Chen An's spirits perked up, his expression became serious, even solemn.
He solemnly saluted the old woman and said, "I am Chen An, and I pay my respects to you, Senior!"
"What's the use of being a senior? I just happened to pick up this ancient scroll. I thought it was a treasure, so I kept it. Unfortunately, I had no use for it, so I kept it forever. Now, I'm giving it to you!"
The reason why Chen An's attitude changed drastically was because he had seen this kind of ancient scroll before. He had once gotten one from Feng Qingyao, but Feng Qingyao herself didn't know what it was.
And this aura is definitely of the same origin as the ancient scroll in his hand.
However, the old woman did not give it to Chen An immediately. She just looked at Chen An eagerly and said, "Young man, although I am very grateful that you can come here to talk with me, I can't give this thing to you for free!"
Chen An stared at the ancient scroll with a serious expression: "Senior, please state your conditions!"
"The world is full of complications. Although loneliness can enlighten one's heart, it is ultimately self-inflicted and self-deceiving. I want you to promise me that one day you will let me see my old friend again!"
Chen An felt a little puzzled when he heard this: "Senior, I don't know the name of the old friend you want to see or where he is. After I leave, you can go and notify him to come see you!"
The old woman shook her head and said calmly, "You just need to nod. As for whether we can meet again, I don't hold out much hope!"
"This..." Chen An hesitated a little. As the saying goes, one must be loyal to the person who entrusts him with a task. Naturally, Chen An would not stick to any principles when dealing with his enemies.
But this old senior obviously had no ill will towards him and was willing to give him the ancient scroll.
But... the old man's words were so incomprehensible. He didn't say who the old friend was, nor did he care whether they could meet again in the future... It seemed that all she wanted was a nod from him.
Could it be... that this was someone he knew in his previous life?
The more Chen An thought about it, the more possible it seemed to him. Otherwise, why would this old senior give him such an extremely valuable ancient scroll after just one meeting!
Chen An was still hesitating.
The old woman just looked at Chen An with a calm look in her eyes, as if time had really worn away the old woman's hope.
At this moment, Chen An couldn't help but ask about Yang Zhan in his sea of consciousness.
"Yang Zhan, do you know this old senior?"
Yang Zhan blurted out, "Do as she says, don't disobey!"
Chen An immediately became serious when he heard this: "Do you know him?"
“I don’t know him!”
"Why?"
"Because you can't afford to offend!"
Chen An took a deep breath and looked at the old woman again, full of fear.
The fact that Yang Zhan said such words shows how terrifying this old woman is.
Chen An nodded: "Okay, I promise you!"
"Thank you!" The old woman nodded, then handed the ancient scroll to Chen An with trembling hands.
Chen An carefully took it, put it away, and said seriously, "Old Senior, I'm leaving now!"
The old woman stopped talking and just watched Chen An pull Old Tang away.
After walking a little further, Chen An instantly soared into the sky with Old Tang.
When he fell to the edge of the cliff, Old Tang fell into coma again.
Chen An looked down at the bottomless abyss and frowned, "What kind of place is this? I clearly saw some figures before, but why was there no sign of them when I passed by?"
Old Tang fell into a coma, so Chen An had to carry him back.
However, when Chen An returned, he asked around in the nearby villages.
Only then did I know that this abyss is called the Sin Abyss. The villagers nearby said that there is a legend about this Sin Abyss.
According to legend, the ancient demons were suppressed below, but some people also said that there was nothing below this abyss of sin, because some brave people went into the abyss to collect herbs and saw nothing.
However, Chen An kept the location in mind.
On the way back, Chen An hurriedly asked, "Is that old woman very powerful?"
"I don't know how powerful she is, but you're definitely no match for her. Not to mention her, you can't even match the three chickens she raises!"
"Hiss..." Chen An took a deep breath. "You must be seeing things. How many people in this world dare to speak such big words in front of me?"
"Have you ever heard that there is a higher place than the higher place?"
"Nonsense, of course I know!"
"Then how do you understand it?"
"My original world was in a vast universe. The sky is the universe, and there are universes beyond the universe, so it's said that there are heavens beyond the sky. Of course, the most common saying is that there are people beyond people and heavens beyond the sky. It means that one cannot be complacent, because there will always be someone stronger than him!"
