Chapter 418: Deal Done, Entering the Valley



Yu Xingwu looked at the white-haired old man in front of her, wondering whether his words were true.

Looking at the old man's appearance, although he is not the kind type, he looks energetic and a little arrogant, so he doesn't look like a bad person.

Even though his words were not nice, they were well-intentioned, and he did not rely on his own skills to attack them after being verbally attacked.

And after learning that Shen Zhuo was a thunder spirit, he took the initiative to propose a deal instead of keeping silent and waiting outside to kill and rob.

If one has bad intentions, he can just stay outside the valley and kill them with his own strength to obtain the Shouxin Grass.

It seems that the old man has no bad intentions.

The system also said: "Host, it looks like this old man is serious! This deal can be done!"

Yu Xingwu nodded silently in her heart: [Indeed, three longevity grasses and three things, or three things promised at the peak of the tribulation period, even if it means asking him to kill people or set fires, it should be possible.]

Yu Xingwu knew clearly that this was not the modern world. There were no legal constraints. The strong were the kings and the fittest survived. Killing people for a living was not uncommon.

In order to prove whether these three things were what she thought, she asked: "I don't know what the three things you mentioned are? But whatever my senior brother said, the senior can agree to do it."

The old man subconsciously stroked his white beard, only to find that his beard had been wet by the heavy rain and could still wipe off the rain.

He shook his hands, and the next second a faint white halo surrounded his body. His hair and clothes that had just been wet became dry in an instant, as if they had never been stained by a drop of rain.

Jiang Yan and others also realized that the old man did have some real talent, but his brain was not very good. Sometimes he laughed in the rain, and sometimes he showed off his skills, as if he was a little crazy.

This old man must have become stupid from practicing, and he said these three things, can we really believe them?

The old man was not stupid. He could see that Jiang Yan and the others did not believe him. He answered Yu Xingwu's question seriously: "Since I promised three things, I will definitely do them."

"As long as your brother can pick the longevity grass for me, my words will take effect immediately, and he can ask me for anything."

Yu Xingwu felt that she hadn't said it clearly enough, so she didn't hide it and said directly: "What if my senior brother asked you to kill someone?"

When he heard the word "murder", the old man's expression was extremely calm, as if he heard someone say - the weather is nice today.

If you think about it carefully, if someone can cultivate to the peak stage of tribulation, how could he not have killed people? It is nothing to be surprised about.

His tone and expression were as calm as before: "As long as I can beat them, why not?"

It’s a pity that this kid is wearing the clothes of a direct disciple and has already become a disciple of the master, so he cannot be accepted as a disciple. It’s such a pity.

Yu Xingwu believed what the old man said. The longevity grass could add years to the old man's life, which could be considered as saving the old man's life. Killing people was nothing to the old man.

Of course, she didn't say that she really wanted the old man to kill anyone. She just asked out of curiosity to see to what extent the old man could do these three things.

Seeing that Shen Zhuo didn't say anything, the old man was afraid that Shen Zhuo would refuse, so he asked again: "What do you think, kid?"

"You have the root of thunder spirit, three longevity grasses should not be difficult for you, what are you still hesitating about? Are you afraid that I won't keep my word?"

"Don't worry. I won't deceive a junior. When you find the longevity grass, I will give you the jade token representing my identity. You can communicate with me at any time through the jade token."

When Yu Xingwu heard this, she knew that her guess was correct. The old man must have an identity!

Shen Zhuo's expression remained indifferent. He seemed not interested in the three things the old man raised, nor in the old man's identity.

Ever since his parents were killed when he was young, he had been accustomed to going his own way. He would do things by himself and never ask others to do it for him. Therefore, he was not moved by the old man's suggestion.

I am not being arrogant, I am just telling the truth: “It is not that I am hesitant, it is that I do not like to rely on others to do things.”

After he finished speaking, the surroundings became so quiet that only the sound of rain and thunder could be heard.

When Yun Xiao and the others heard Shen Zhuo's answer, they all felt that this was very Shen Er, and it was something Shen Er would say.

Before the junior sister pursued Shen Er, hadn't Shen Er always been like this? Even when he went out to gain experience, he never teamed up with others and did everything by himself. Later, when the junior sister came into being, Shen Er changed a little.

If they had proposed to come to Thunder Valley with Shen Er in the past, Shen Er would never agree.

But if I don’t agree, will it annoy the old man?

Yu Xingwu also thought so. If she really refused the old man's agreement, he might come up with some ideas in order to prolong his life.

People can do anything to survive! Moreover, killing and robbing are common in the world of immortal cultivation, and it is not a rare thing at all.

The old man in front of him stared at Shen Zhuo in disbelief and quickly stepped forward.

Explanation: "My senior brother has a cold personality and is used to being alone. He likes to do everything by himself. He didn't mean to refuse you! He just didn't agree because he was afraid that he couldn't find the longevity grass."

After saying that, his eyes fell on Shen Zhuo, and he took Shen Zhuo's arm and pinched him, saying with a smile: "Brother, am I right? Is that what I meant?"

In my mind, I was furiously saying, "Look at my eyes! Look at my eyes! Tell me that's what you mean! Three longevity grasses in exchange for three things is really worth it! Isn't it better than being killed and robbed?!"

[Besides, aren’t you half a Buddhist? Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Good deeds will always produce good results! ]

Shen Zhuo heard his inner voice, but his eyes fell on the arm that was being pinched by Yu Xingwu.

Only when she was happy did she pinch him like this, and all sorts of unspeakable images suddenly came to her mind.

Shen Zhuo suppressed the strangeness in his heart and changed his decision after hearing the inner voice. He just did what his fellow Taoist said.

He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, as she said, that's what she meant. There is no guarantee that we can find the longevity grass."

When the old man heard that there was a chance, he became happy again. He immediately touched his cuffs and took out a hand-painted scroll.

"This is the topographic map of Thunder Valley that I drew. Although it is not complete, at least more than half of it has been drawn. With this topographic map, it will be easier for you to find the Shouxin Grass."

Shen Zhuo reached out to take the topographic map and opened it. Yu Xingwu's eyes fell on the drawing. It was indeed as the old man said, at least half of the terrain was drawn.

Some places were even marked with an "x" symbol, indicating that there was no safflower in those places where the "x" was drawn.

This can also save time in searching for the longevity grass.

At this time, the old man added: "Although I have drawn the area near the depths of the valley on the map, I have not searched it. You must search carefully after you enter the depths of the valley."

Yu Xingwu seemed to have heard something. She drew the picture but did not search for it. Perhaps the old man took the risk of releasing his spiritual sense to explore the terrain near the depths.

Shen Zhuo nodded, put away the topographic map, and the group said goodbye to the old man, then flew into the valley in the thunder and rain.
