Chapter 251 The Unfathomable Old Man

The old man's words shocked me, and the expression on my face changed.

He grinned and said, "Your master and I are old friends, and since you are wearing the Soul-Slaying Knife, you must be a disciple that Zhang Du'e, the old man, values ​​very much. Listen to me, don't meddle in other people's business, otherwise, you may die if you follow the evil spirits!"

"What do you mean!" My face darkened, and a hint of anger flashed in my eyes.

"Hehe, what can I mean?" He laughed softly, then he picked up the soul-guiding lamp and walked slowly towards me.

As he walked, he said, "Of course I don't want to die in the afterlife. After all, I have some friendship with that old guy Zhang Du'e."

When I saw him coming towards me, my heart skipped a beat. I almost subconsciously grasped the handle of the Soul-Slaying Knife tightly, and my other hand reached into my pocket and grabbed the Thunder Department Talisman in my pocket.

But he didn't change his expression, still walking towards me with a sneer on his face, but his cloudy eyes were staring at me.

There was only a distance of seven or eight meters between us, and as he walked towards me, the distance between us became closer and closer.

Five meters, three meters, two meters...

The ghostly aura was coming towards me, and the sobs of wronged souls began to ring in my ears. The sound was like crying and complaining, and it almost attracted my whole mind.

"Oops!" I was startled and bit my tongue immediately.

The severe pain made me come back to my senses from the sobbing in an instant, and at this time, the old man had already come to me.

I almost instinctively wanted to draw my sword, but then, I froze.

Because the old man actually raised one hand and put it on my shoulder with a "click".

"Youth are to be feared, you are to be feared!" He grinned, "You are so young and yet you have such great skills and concentration. You are indeed a disciple of Zhang Du'e."

At this moment, I was completely stiff, my face was pale, and I was like a sculpture, standing there motionless.

It's not that I dare not move, nor that I don't want to move.

It's just that... I can't move!

When the old man put his hand on my shoulder, I felt a tremendous force pressing on me like a tidal wave. It felt like an invisible mountain was pressing on me. It was a miracle that I didn't fall down.

"This man... is so strong!"

Cold sweat dripped down my forehead, and my body began to tremble slightly.

At this moment, I still kept my hand on the Soul-Slaying Blade. Although only my eyeballs could move, I kept gritting my teeth in the dark, trying to get rid of this power.

"Haha, young man, remember what I said, don't meddle in other people's business. As the saying goes, there are always people who are better than you. Don't think that you can be a hero just because you have some skills. The rivers and lakes are deep. Even an old man is walking on thin ice. Otherwise, you don't know when you will be drowned in this rivers and lakes!"

After the old man finished speaking, he laughed, and then suddenly retracted his palm, holding the soul-guiding lamp, and walked slowly behind me with a hunched body.

When the footsteps gradually faded away behind me, the overwhelming power faded like a tide.

I shuddered, my legs went limp, and I fell to the ground.

"Huff, huff, huff!"

I fell to the ground, gasping for breath. It was only then that I realized that my clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

"Who the hell is this old man?"

I looked up with a lingering fear, and saw that the old man's figure had disappeared into the darkness. Only the faint candlelight from the soul-guiding lamp was jumping in the darkness.

I think I have seen many awesome people, such as the Yinchai, the thousand-year-old ghost, and my master's friends, Xiang Lao San, Huang Shushan's reserve, Huang Laozong, Feng Churan's father Feng Changhe, and even Pao Zhen.

These people are all top-notch fighters, and Pao Zhen and my master should be the strongest among them.

But just now, I actually felt a strong aura from this old man that even Pao Zhen and my master had never felt.

I couldn't help but be a little shocked.

Could it be that this old man is more powerful than my master and Pao Zhen?

But how is this possible!

You know, my master and Pao Zhen are both among the top ten masters in the world, and my master is in the top three of the top ten masters in the world. If this old man is really more powerful than my master, doesn't that mean he can at least be ranked in the top two?

"Such a powerful person can't be unknown. Pao Zhen should know him. Go back and ask him!"

I took a deep breath, then stood up and ran quickly to Pao Zhen's house.

Nothing else unusual happened along the way. After a few minutes, I finally returned to Pao Zhen's house.

The house was dark. Ling'er and Huzi should still be asleep, but Pao Zhen's room was silent. Obviously, Pao Zhen had not returned yet.

After returning to the house, I took off my clothes first and checked the shoulder that was tapped by the old man. After seeing that there was nothing unusual, I finally put my heart back in my stomach.

"How could an old man with a high level of Taoism and holding the Dragon Tiger Mountain's treasure, the Soul-Guiding Lamp, appear in this small mountain village and want to harm Auntie Wang's family? What is he planning?"

With this old man's cultivation, killing people is too easy. Not to mention ordinary people in Auntie Wang's family, even me, I guess, he can easily kill them.

But why did he go to such great lengths?

Also, what is the relationship between the female ghost and Wang Wen? What is the relationship with the old man?

My intuition tells me that Auntie Wang's family may not be as simple as it seems.

I lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling and thinking wildly. I don't know how long it took before I finally fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, I was woken up by Hu Zi. I looked over and saw that Hu Zi was chewing a pig's trotter with sauce in his hand. When he saw that I was awake, he said in a vague voice, "Qian Yu, Uncle Pao is looking for you."

Pao Zhen is back?

I got up quickly, put on my clothes, and walked out of the room.

Pao Zhen was sitting at the table drinking porridge. When he saw me coming out, he said, "Go wash up, then eat.".7

I wanted to ask him directly about the old man, but after hearing what he said, I didn't dare to contradict him. After washing up, I took the porridge Ling'er served me and sat next to Pao Zhen to drink it.

But as I was drinking, I suddenly found something wrong, and immediately asked Ling'er, "Ling'er, why does Hu Zi have pig's trotters to eat?"

Ling'er was stunned by my question, and then her face turned red, and she stammered, "I didn't give it to him, but he went to the kitchen to get it himself."

I was suspicious, thinking, what's wrong with Ling'er, is she feeling unwell?

Why is her face so red?

"Eat." Pao Zhen knocked on the table, and I didn't ask any more questions. After drinking a bowl of porridge, I was ready to speak.

But Pao Zhen spoke first, saying, "You go back to the house first."

"Oh." I responded, and then got up and walked into the house. However, when I passed by Hu Zi, this guy actually winked at me for a while, and then, as if showing off, he began to eat pig's trotters in big mouthfuls.

"Oh my god!" I couldn't help but curse secretly, turned around and looked at Ling'er who was drinking porridge with her head down, then touched my nose, and thought to myself: "These two people... why do I feel a little bit wrong."

"Brother Qianyu, how about... I go get you a pig's trotter too?" Ling'er finally couldn't help it, got up and walked into the kitchen. Seeing this, I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "No need."

After that, I went back to the house.

About ten minutes later, Pao Zhen finally came in after finishing his meal. I couldn't hold back any longer and told him everything that happened last night, especially the old man. I spent a lot of time describing him. Pao Zhen

didn't say anything, but just lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said something that I didn't expect, and it had nothing to do with what happened last night.

"You should know about the Heaven Stealing Four Symbols Formation, right?"
