The strongest shuttle system

Chapter 2046 The Guardian

Lin Fan knew these things very well, so naturally he would not have any fear.

In other words, as long as that chess piece has not appeared, Qiulin must be hiding in the dark, and it is absolutely impossible to act rashly.

It took so much effort for Qiulin to come to this enchantment, and it was absolutely impossible for him to give up such a good opportunity easily.

At this moment, Shui Ruoqing could sense the aura of the Shui tribe, and hurriedly said: "This aura is too familiar, but how is this possible?"

Lin Fan asked: "Is it the breath of an old man?"

Shui Ruoqing frowned slightly, and said, "I'm not sure, this is very similar to my master's breath, but my master has been away from this world for many years."

Lin Fan thought of another thing, and said, "No wonder this chess piece is not easy to find, even we didn't notice it the last time we came here."

"Shui Ruoqing, who made Xuan Mu the guardian of the ancient treasure? Is it your master?"

Shui Ruoqing didn't understand what Lin Fan meant, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Master only has Brother Xuanmu and me as two apprentices."

"Since the day we started to learn art from our master, Master told both of us that my senior brother and I are very talented, and we will definitely become strong in the Aquarium in the future."

"Senior brother learns everything very quickly, so I'm far behind, and I don't have too much ambition. Only when master is about to run out of fuel can senior brother become the guardian of ancient treasures."

"Presumably all of this is arranged by God's will somewhere in the dark. This should be what Master meant."

In the past, Shui Ruoqing wasn't too sure about these things, and she didn't think about it. After seeing this scene this time, she was even more sure.

Then this means that the master's identity is extraordinary, so that Xuan Mu can have such a mission at such a young age, and have these encounters, which are something other people can meet but can't ask for.

Only then did Lin Fan say: "Your master has indeed left the mortal world and came to this place to protect this chess piece."

"In this place, he is the guardian of the ancient treasures. Unless he is willing to give up these things, he can only take away the chess pieces by letting his status as the guardian disappear."

"What?" Shui Ruoqing couldn't believe it, but he couldn't come up with a reason to refute.

Recalling the things that Xuanmu experienced, Shui Ruoqing was really a little scared. If she could really see the master in this place, it would be something she dared not even dream of.

But if they met, it would be a farewell. Shui Ruoqing would rather never have been to this place, and never knew about it.

Now, Shui Ruoqing only hopes that the master will willingly give up protecting the chess pieces, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Soon, Lin Fan and his party met an old man in that city. Even though his temples were gray, Shui Ruoqing could still recognize him at a glance. This was her master.

"Master, the unfilial disciple Shui Ruoqing has come to see you." Shui Ruoqing broke down in tears, as if in a dream.

The old man raised his eyes, and said with a choked voice, "Shui Ruoqing, I never thought that we, the master and the apprentice, would still meet once."

"You really shouldn't come to this place. If you want, I can send you and your friends out, and never come here again."

"There are many people who covet the power of the ancient treasure, but no one has ever really been able to get out from here. I will be your mentor and apprentice, and I don't want to see you stay here."

The old man has been here for so many years that even he himself can't figure out how long it has passed.

Nowadays, the old man doesn't have too many attachments, what he hopes most is the people who come here, without his family, without his apprentices.

The punishment here is far more severe than what other people imagined, and even those big clans in the demon world will not end well.

Shui Ruoqing looked in Lin Fan's direction, and in a dilemma, he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Lin Fan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Old man, you have guarded here for so long, everything is enough, if you continue to be persistent, it will be difficult to enter reincarnation, you know what this means."

"Give up, I am Lin Fan, the owner of the ancient treasure, all of these should be my mission, let me continue to protect them."

Hearing this, the old man raised his eyes, looked at Lin Fan carefully, and said, "Yes, you do have some connection with the ancient treasure."

"But since ancient times, there are only guardians. Where is there any master? Boy, are you trying to deceive me?"

"Don't look at me at such an old age, I'm not confused at all. I don't care what your status is, if you dare to disrespect the power of the ancients, I will not be polite to you."

Shui Ruoqing hurriedly stood in front of Lin Fan and said, "Master, all of this is a misunderstanding."

"Lin Fan is my friend and a very important person to me. What he said is true. I can prove that everything he said is true."

"Master, even if you really don't want to trust others easily, don't you trust me?"

That's all Shui Ruoqing can say, as for how the old man will think about such a matter, that's the old man's business.

After a while, the old man stepped back a few steps, his expression became more determined, and he said, "The water is clear, because I am no longer a master and apprentice."

"From the moment I left the world, I no longer have any fetters, and our fate as a master and apprentice has been exhausted."

"The reason I have been here for so many years is to protect the power of the ancients, and I will absolutely not allow anyone to take away the chess pieces."

"Don't say it's you and your friends who came here today, even if it's Xuan Mu who came here today, I still have the same attitude."

Shui Ruoqing was very surprised by the old man's words, and only then did she realize that what happened back then was not that simple at all.

Xuan Mu once said that as the guardian of the ancient treasures, only if he can truly recover the power of the eternal chessboard and the scroll of heaven and earth can he fulfill his mission.

Only at that moment can Xuan Mu truly become an ordinary person, without having to carry such burdens all his life, and without worrying about other tragedies.

However, if all of this was just a lie, and the old man had already brought a pawn here, it would be impossible for Xuanmu to complete such a task.

Then in the process of completing the mission, Xuanmu will definitely encounter countless monsters, go to countless dangerous situations, and escape from death.

Shui Ruoqing couldn't believe that the master, who had been planning for them all the time, was so scheming that he had long regarded Xuan Mu as a pawn.

Lin Fan noticed all of this, and said, "Shui Ruoqing, he is not entirely your master, he was born out of obsession, and can only be regarded as a part of your master's consciousness."

"Listen to me, leave everything here to me. Since we have all come in, we can only leave with the chess pieces."

"Otherwise, if the Demon King gets all of this, the consequences will be disastrous."
