Chapter 225: Old Man Shadow

"You, can you fix me and give me a body of steel at the same time?" Dunshan listened to the old man's words and was indescribably moved. This is really a good sign, not only will he get his life back, but he will also be able to change his face, so that the Black Mother will never find him again!

In addition to being moved, he was also very curious, and he wanted to see the appearance of the life-saving benefactor, so he begged: "I was reckless just now, and I tossed blindly without knowing the truth, so that my eyes couldn't see, can you help me fix my eyes first?" ”

"Hehehe, there's no problem with this, you lie down and wait for me to get the tools." The old man readily agreed, making a ping-pong sound. The shadow drifted away from Dunshan's bedside and soon floated back again, beginning to pound at his face.

Dunshan felt a cold thing poke in his eye socket, but after a few or two efforts, the hazy light became clear, and the swaying black shadows in the light also became concrete, those were the furniture in this room, or all kinds of bizarre tools.

Dunshan's eyes were able to see again, he didn't look at anything, and looked for his savior, the old man with a kind voice, but when he looked around, he had to wonder that these eyes were blind once and he didn't listen to the call...... The iron frames, hammers, steel armor and other objects in the room were clearly visible, and they were arranged so neatly that the stuffed room did not look messy at all. In addition, there were hats and robes hanging behind the wooden door, which did not escape his sight, but the old man was always just a thin shadow, no different from what he saw when he couldn't see clearly.

Dunshan was dazed, trying to think about what was going on, and it didn't take long for him to think of the possible reason, and exclaimed in shock: "You...... Are you a ghost?! ”

"Ghosts? Aha~" The old man burst out laughing, as if he was amused.

"You...... What are you laughing at? If you are a human being, why can't you show your facial features and body? Dunshan asked worriedly.

The old man replied: "I can't hide it, the people on the King's Continent have only heard my name, and no one has ever seen my appearance, not only them, but even myself have never seen myself." ”

"Huh? And such a thing? But how is this possible?! ”

If he could, Dunshan would have to jump out of bed, but he could only express his surprise with words, and of course his disbelief. He doesn't believe that living people in the world can exist in the form of phantoms, if it is just to disguise his identity, so it makes sense to make some spells fool people, but if he has not even seen himself, this statement goes beyond the limits of metaphysics and becomes "impossible".

The old man, or the shadow that resembles the old man, strokes his short beard under his chin with his hand, as if he is thinking. After a while, he said as if he had made up his mind: "Well, since I chose you to be my helper, you will know about this matter sooner or later, and it is not a leak to tell you now, so let's tell the truth." ”

Dunshan's spirits perked up, and he pricked up his imaginary ears.

The old man said: "You can see me as a mortal, or as an alien, or as a ghost or a god, but I can't tell what I am, but I know that I was born with this magical continent, and it is my parents who raised me." When I first learned how to recognize the world, I was as small as a nail, jumping up and down from mountain rock to rock every day, jumping to the highest rock, and looking out at the golden ocean in the distance. In fact, the sea is blue, but the sun covers it with a golden veil, and the golden veil is decorated with a cross-shaped gem, and it becomes a beautiful gold. ”

"Are you, the life that was born and raised by the land of the King Continent?" Dunshan no longer doubted the old man's story, and a divine respect was born in his heart, and of course the beating heart was also his imagination.

The Shadow Old Man nodded, and continued, "I like to drink the dew from the leaves in the early morning, and I like to eat the petals of the pear blossoms, they are the source of nutrients I need to grow. But every day, I can only see my reflection on the ground, and no matter how long I look on the water, I can't see the real person corresponding to the reflection. It pains me, I think I'm an ugly and contemptible monster, and it was just a mistake to be born on this beautiful continent. From then on, I had the idea of dying, and I did everything I could to get rid of myself, such as jumping into a rushing stream or letting a boulder fall on me. ”

"Oh my God, this is horrible! Life is very beautiful, and no one will come into the world for no reason, so you can't destroy yourself without asking questions! Dunshan said from the bottom of his heart.

"I'm glad you thought that, but I didn't have such a high level of consciousness at that time, and for a child, he just wanted to be praised and looked down upon, so that he could grow up healthy. For as long as I can remember, the King Continent has been a beautiful and magical world in my eyes, there is definitely no more beautiful planet in the universe, how happy I am to live here! But when I was swallowed up by low self-esteem, the beauty of the past changed shape, taste, and color. I cried to the heavens and protested to the earth, and the sound resounded through the valley and drifted far away to the sea, but no one answered. ”

"Why? Is there no one to comfort you? ”

"No, it's just because when the King Continent was first formed, it was so desolate and lonely. When I am in a good mood, I have never experienced loneliness, flowers, trees, small insects crawling on the stones, and even stones that can't speak, can become my friends, listen to me and relieve my boredom. And they don't answer me, I don't care at all. They were also born from the King Continent, and they are the sons and daughters of the continent, so they are my brothers and sisters. How big my family is, everyone loves each other, never argues, no matter the sun is shining or the wind is drizzling, it is a pleasant enjoyment. But it wasn't until this time that I found out that I had deceived the King Continent, I had no brothers and sisters at all, let alone a family, and I was alone in heaven and earth, no, it was half a person, because a complete person should have a body before there was a shadow, but I couldn't find where the actual body was! ”

"It turns out that there are people who are more pitiful than me, such people live on the King Continent!"

Dunshan was very upset about the unfortunate fate of the old man, and almost burst into tears of sympathy.

The old man's tone changed suddenly, and he said: "Actually, I was wrong, very wrong, and I complained about God's test of me as an unfortunate fate, which is really foolish!" ”

"Huh? Test? Heaven has taken away your actual body, but it is only a test for you? Dunshan was stunned.

The old man said: "Yes, as the so-called heaven will descend on the people, they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and empty their bodies. The only thing I should do is wait, just wait until one day, he will appear in front of me! ”

"He? Who is he? Dunshan asked puzzled. Didn't the old man say that when he was born, there were no humans on the King Continent?

The old man replied, "It's the gods, the gods who taught me how to build the Great Wall." ”
