"I've lived for a long, long time, probably more than 10,000 years...... Or 20,000 years? I haven't counted it myself carefully, and when you really live for so long, age is really just a dispensable thing, after all, I won't die. ”

The old man told his own story.

"I remember one day many years ago, my little grandson was very sick, he was the heart and soul of all of our family, and I left the house and hurried in the direction of the town, hoping to get to the town before it got dark and be able to call a doctor."

"But I am old, and not as robust and swift as I was when I was a young hunter, and before I could reach the town, it was already dark, so I could only find a place near a valley, and I was going to spend the night in the open, and the next day I continued on my way."

"Just as I was pulling out my dry food and water bag and preparing for dinner, I suddenly heard a loud thunderclap, and the wind was blowing in the valley, and I felt that something terrible must have happened nearby, and I wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible."

"But I don't know why, obviously I wanted to leave, but there was a strange thought in my heart, so I walked directly towards the place where the wind and thunder sounded, passed through the foothills, and walked into the valley, and I saw a young man standing in the middle of the valley."

An Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and she learned the root of the whole thing, because what the immortal old man said was exactly the same as what the high priest's divine soul remembered. He was also at the scene where the administrator made a bet with Tiandao, and he also received a gift from Tiandao.

"At that time, I was blown by the wind and couldn't open my eyes, my ears couldn't hear the sound, I could only hear the thunder constantly ringing, and the young man in the center was saying something to the sky, and then a huge lightning bolt streaked across the sky, and my dazzling light shook me directly."

"By the time I woke up again, it was already the next morning. I got up from the ground and looked at my surroundings, hardly believing that something like that had happened in this place last night, because nothing had changed at all. ”

"There was no scorching scorch from lightning strikes, no trees blown down by strong winds, and if it weren't for the pain in my eyes, I would have thought it was a dream of my own."

"I continued on my way to the town to get a doctor, and on the way I came across a convoy of nobles, who had followed them from a distance to seek refuge from encounters with bandits and wild beasts, and finally reached the royal city safely."

"I finally brought the doctor from Wang Cheng to the house, rescued my little grandson who had a high fever, and the family started a normal life again. And I hid all the events of that day in my heart, and never mentioned it to outsiders. ”

"I thought that after this incident passed, it would have nothing to do with me, no one would come to me, never meet again, that young man was like a legendary immortal, and he would never have any intersection with me at all, but I was wrong."

"My son and daughter-in-law died, my grandson died, my great-grandson died, but I still didn't die." The old man's eyes were filled with a hint of loneliness, just like the look of the high priest before he died.

"I became an immortal person, I went through a lot of battles, I suffered a lot of tribulations, but no wound could bring me a fatal effect, and even later, even the pain disappeared, because the body no longer needed the pain to warn me of danger."

"My village gradually disappeared into the chaos of war, and I left the land where I had lived for many years, looking for the meaning of my existence. I began to turn the death of a loved one into a motivator, looking for ways to make people live forever, and I wanted to give others a long life. ”

"Actually, I am selfish in my heart, I know that I just want to find someone who can stay with me for a longer time, and this person can only be created by me."

"By chance, I came to a tribe that lived in the deep mountains and old forests, and found that the people in their tribe usually have a higher life expectancy than ordinary people, and after observation, I found that their lifespan comes from a magical way of chanting."

"This method of chanting is said to have been handed down by an immortal of their ancestors, and although it does not allow them to enter the path of cultivation, it can make them live a long life, even to be about one hundred and fifty years old, and you should be able to imagine what a superb means it is."

So I settled down in that tribe and began to study the effect of that chanting technique and the corresponding changes in detail on longevity. This research is hundreds of thousands of years. Therefore, the people of the tribe also know the secret of my immortality and worship me as the god of immortality. ”

"It was in that tribe that I created my own writing, combining words, sounds, and chanting into one, and found a way to really raise the limits of human lifespan. If you stick to it every day, you can even have a lifespan of 300 years. ”

But this is such a method that is coveted by those practitioners. Those cultivator giants who had reached the end of their years, relying on the heavenly treasures and could no longer get the extension of their lifespan, they began to look for any way, so they found me. ”

"I refuse to work with them because this method of mine, which was only created for ordinary people, has no idea what kind of impact it will have on practitioners. I also informed the messenger who came to the tribe of this reason, but in the end the tribe was destroyed. ”

"I know that the anger against me doesn't necessarily come from the giants. Instead, the messenger who came here was snubbed by the giants or ridiculed by his opponents because of his disadvantage, and vented his anger on the tribe. ”

"Since then, I have never thought about embarking on the path of cultivation, and I have never thought of relating to any practitioner."

"After the destruction of the tribe, I was disheartened, and on the way to death, I searched for any information about immortality and death, and gradually I found out that there were still beings in this world who could have a long life like me."

"One is called the Celestial Spirit, while the other is called the High Priest."

"The first time I saw the High Priest, I recognized him as the nobleman I had met on my way to the town in search of a doctor, and he was riding a tall horse, not even noticing that there was an ordinary man seeking refuge next to him."

"I recognized him just from a distance, and he still didn't notice me."

"I started stalking him, getting to know him, knowing what horrible things he was doing, almost to shock and extreme disgust, and I knew that he must have had the same abilities as me on the same night, in the same place."

"At that time, I was thinking, if only the two of us in this world have obtained the power of immortality, then is it my duty to stand on the opposite side of his evil and break his defilement and destruction of the world?"

"From that moment on, I seemed to have found the meaning of my life, and I threw myself into the battle against the high priest without hesitation. However, every-for-tat ended in my final defeat. The High Priest's experiments became more and more successful, and more and more people died, and I became more and more discouraged. ”

"I have often used what kind of means to establish an organization against the high priest, but the ordinary people who have gathered just rely on my means of prolonging life to fight against the cultivators who have been promoted by the high priest are simply using the mantis arm as a car."

"Later, I joined a special department of the Empire, the Ministry of Supervision."

"I made a deal with the Ministry of Inspectorate to have my body studied, and they mobilized parts of the Empire to help me deal with the High Priest. This transaction is absolutely secret, and not even the Military Commission, the Imperial Cabinet, or even the Ministry of Supervision are aware of it. ”

"It was at that time that I became an experimental subject of the central supercomputer."

"Pain and death do not have any fear for me, it can be said that since that time, I have been disheartened, I have not found a way to make people immortal, I have not defeated the conspiracy of the high priest, I want to use the power of technology, uncover the secret of immortality, and seek my own liberation."

"The Empire should be grateful to me, without my regenerative ability, the central supercomputer would never have been limited to Subject 607, because the number of experiments they have done on me that can lead to death is no less than 30,000."

"But to my disappointment, the High Priest is in retreat, the Empire has not been able to find any clues about him, and I have not been able to find a way to bring myself to death. As a result, after the successful production of the central supercomputer, my transaction with the Ministry of Supervision came to an end. ”

"I began to look for a place to retire, began to wait for the High Priest to come out, and at the same time used the vast amount of knowledge I learned during the experiment to rebuild myself into a replica of a supercomputer, the original intention was to use high technology and a lot of computing speed to fight against the High Priest's cult."

"It is surprising that this technology of the Empire has produced unexpected results over the course of a long period of time. These data cables linked to my body, as well as the electrical currents flowing through my nerves, actually began to petrify my body. ”

"Although the rate of this petrification was slow at first, it seems that the rate of expansion is increasing exponentially as the petrochemical surface base increases. Until today, after my calculations, it has been less than two years since I was completely turned into a stone. ”

An Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows and said indifferently: "Then I want to congratulate you." ”

The Immortal Old Man smiled: "There is nothing to congratulate, do you think that the immortality granted by the Heavenly Dao can be lifted so easily?" ”

"The root of immortality lies in the soul, you should know better than me, when my body is completely petrified, my soul will still be imprisoned in this stone, and become a dead thing with thoughts but unable to speak and express, isn't it more painful?"

"So, you're going to make a deal with me?" An Xiaoyu began to understand the needs of the immortal old man.

"Yes, I need you to use the method you used to kill the High Priest once before, completely disperse my spirit, and let me be freed, and accordingly, I will provide you with all the information and movements of the High Priest, as well as what will break the seal in your body."

"Can you break the seal in my body?" An Xiaoyu was obviously more concerned about this condition, because she felt that as long as she regained her strength, she was absolutely sure that there would be no more mistakes in the face of the high priest and completely eradicate this old thing.

The immortal old man saw An Xiaoyu's thoughts and reminded: "Don't take it lightly, haven't you thought about what the purpose of the high priest is so exciting?" Is it just for the sake of experimentation? When you annihilated part of his soul, you also took away the memories that made him unwilling, and he was no longer the high priest who was bent on death. ”

"Then what is his purpose now," Ann whispered in thought.

But the old man didn't say anything, he asked, "So, is our deal valid?" ”

An Xiaoyu spread out her hands: "I have killed more than one person, you just say it." ”

Only then did the Immortal Old Man laugh and said, "The High Priest is carrying out a rather huge plan, he wants to use the combination of the previous evil magic and the half-blood ability to steal the power of the primeval races in heaven and earth, and become an invincible supreme person with the abilities of all races. ”

"And then? He wants strength? An Xiaoyu wondered, is the high priest really crazy?

However, the Immortal Old Man disagreed with this idea: "You should know that no matter what kind of goal you achieve, strength is not the goal itself after all. According to my guess, the High Priest is supposed to want to control the power of this world, to control or destroy this world. ”

What a corny villain story...... An Xiaoyu complained silently in her heart.

"If I'm not mistaken, the last time you shattered the spirit of the High Priest, leaving him with no ability to regret and misery, he attributed all the results to the mistakes of the world, so he only needs to have the power to control the world, or destroy the world completely, and he can make up for all the things in the past."

"It's crazy anyway, where the hell is he?" An Xiaoyu doesn't want to care so much, and feels that the sooner things are resolved, the better.

However, the immortal old man said: "I don't know where he is, although I am an imitation of a big computer, but after all, it is not a big computer itself, I don't have its information base, I can only rely on my own calculations, but I estimate that when his sacrificial ritual really begins, you can't do it if you don't want to know." ”

An Xiaoyu was anxious: "Then what about my friend?" ”

"Si Mingyu and Si Lanyi don't need to worry, fortunately, I paid attention early and didn't let the high priest's people completely take them into his lair, so they intercepted them halfway. At the same time, there were other people who were intercepted, and they were all sent to one place for protection. ”

There was some tiredness in the Immortal Old Man's tone: "This is the only thing I can do now, but the life required by the High Priest is still being replenished in a steady stream, and after all, it is still about to reach the quota, so you have to recover your strength as soon as possible." ”

After he finished speaking, the bald old man took out something wrapped in a paper bag from the other side of the room, An Xiaoyu took it and opened it, and found that it was a white ball of light, like a fluorescent lamp, but it was glowing on its own without energy support.

"This is a foreign race sealing talent, which can seal all the energy in this world, you should be able to guess, what race it is, right?" The old man said.

An Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed: "Xuan clan? The eight royal families are also related to Yi Xiangxuan? Then why did Huang Wuyi still help me? ”

However, the immortal old man said: "It's not that the Xuan clan is related to Yi Xiangxuan, you should know that the Xuan clan is a relatively xenophobic race, if there is a mixed race among their race, what kind of fate will it be, you should be able to imagine." ”

An Xiaoyu knew in her heart, it seemed that the one who attacked her should be a generation of mixed blood of the Xuan clan, after surviving among the Xuan clan who rejected foreign blood, she kept the contempt for bullying and came to a relatively tolerant mixed-race empire, but she also suffered from the treatment of the bottom of the society.

Such a person is a perfect fit for an organization like Yi Xiangxuan, which is all gathered at the bottom of society.

"Then how am I supposed to break the seal on my body?" An Xiaoyu wrapped the white sealing ball again and asked the old man.

"Che Zichang of the gray rope is also a generation of mixed blood, although the nobility of the bloodline is not as good as that of the Xuan clan, but the ability to break the ban is quite unique, as long as he is given this model, he can simulate the energy of the seal of the Xuan clan and unlock the seal in your body."

An Xiaoyu nodded, and when she said goodbye to the old man, she was about to leave.

The old man reminded her before leaving: "Take your guards and inform Che Zichang in advance, Yi Xiangxuan will definitely not watch you recover your strength like this." ”

Leaving the villa of the old man of Changsheng, An Xiaoyu called Che Zichang directly, told him his intentions, and told him that it was likely to be an opportunity to completely smash Yi Xiangxuan and let Ash Rope's whitewashing plan gain official support.

Che Zichang pondered for a moment, and immediately agreed, and directly gave An Xiaoyu an address.

An Xiaoyu walked out of the community, got into a car, and headed towards the address provided to him by Che Zichang.

At the same time, after Che Zichang put down the phone, he also notified Dianmo, who had been following An Xiaoyu, telling him not to let down his vigilance at all times, to ensure that An Xiaoyu could reach the territory of Gray Rope safely, and to beware of Yi Xiangxuan's surprise attack.

The people of the gray rope also began to move, for this opportunity, Che Zichang even used all the people in his hands who could be used, right or wrong in this fight, he believed that An Xiaoyu would always give people unexpected surprises.

On the side of the Military Commission, Pei Hu, who learned that An Xiaoyu began to move rapidly, thought about it again and again, and directly gave Wang Zhen two orders.

One of them notified all the action troops to exterminate the underground underworld forces in the imperial capital and eliminate the evil.

On the other hand, the secret notice was given to Wang Zhen himself.

"Protect An Xiaoyu to go to Gray Rope and assist Gray Rope to resist Yi Xiangxuan's attack."

The sky in the imperial capital was completely darkened.
