Chapter 585 Seeding Spirits
"Ok!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, and carefully looked at the old man who was right in front of him but felt far away in the sky.

The feeling of the old man now is different from before. Although the old man looks calm, he can feel that his breath is a little unstable.

Maybe it's because he shares a soul with the spirit beast tiger?
"Tomb guard?"

"This reason is too far-fetched!"

Jian Yu shook her head, not because she didn't believe the old man, but because there are no grave guards in modern society?

Even in her world, there is no such loyal person. The point is that this old man should be stronger than Ye Chen, and the spirit beast definitely belongs to him.

"..."

The old man didn't explain, but just smiled faintly. Believe it or not, he is a grave keeper, so there is no need to explain anything to Jian Yu, not to mention, with Jian Yu's strength, he doesn't even bother to explain.

"Dare to ask, are there any herbs from the previous year in this mountain forest?"

The old man didn't explain, and Ye Chen didn't know how to ask. Although he was very curious, the purpose of coming to the forest was to find medicinal materials, not to entangle the old man.

As for the identity of the old man, and whose tomb is guarding, you can get it if you can get it, and forget it if you can't get it.

"Yes, 500-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, 700-year-old horse chestnut, and thousand-year-old Xuanlingcao..."

The old man smiled and spoke very plainly. It seemed that these things were like ordinary weeds in the forest to him.

"..."

Ye Chen didn't feel much, but Jian Yu Sheng Xueqing's face was full of splendor, these are definitely the best elixir...

"If what he said is true, it's all good things..."

The soul of the old man in Ye Chen's mind spoke again.

"I don't know how to trade?"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, and said lightly, these things are good things, but they don't know where they are at all.

"trade?"

The old man shook his head: "No deal!"

"These were planted by the emperor before his death. Although they are useless to the old, they can be regarded as a kind of commemoration..."

"..."

Hearing the old man's explanation, Ye Chen was startled, what do you mean?
Planted by the emperor before his death?

This amount of information is a bit large. Even the Ganoderma lucidum with the shortest age is 500 years old. In other words, it has been at least 500 years since the emperor died?
In other words, this old man has guarded the tomb for 500 years?
How can it be?

"However, if you want it, you have to agree to one condition..."

"What conditions?"

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. To be honest, if this guy is really an old monster who has lived for more than 500 years, his conditions will definitely not be simple.

"Help the old man clean the grave!"

The old man sighed slightly: "The emperor's tomb has not been cleaned for hundreds of years, and I don't know if it is dirty..."

"Aren't you the gravekeeper? Why don't you clean?"

Ye Chen questioned, although he didn't know the rules of guarding the tomb, but it should be the responsibility of the grave guard to clean the grave, right?
Could it be that there is something weird under the tomb?
"Of course the old man wants to clean up, but it's hard to move. That's it, all that needs to be said has been said. If you want medicinal materials, go clean the tomb. If you don't want it, just leave!"

Because of Ye Chen's problem, the old man seemed a little impatient, and turned his back directly.

"Want to go have a look?"

Ye Chen asked the soul in his mind. When he heard the old man's request, his first reaction was to refuse, because he always felt that there was something weird under the tomb.

But if you want to make alchemy, you must find medicinal materials...

Ye Chen felt that if he missed this opportunity, he didn't know how long he would have to wait next time.

"You decide, I have never heard of such a thing!" However, the soul in his mind did not give him a clear answer.

Sheng Xueqing, Jianyu and the two looked at him at the same time, subconsciously, they both felt that they should not go to the grave.

Maybe this is the old man's trick...

You know, the emperor's tomb is full of dangers...

"Go, go and see..."

Ye Chen pondered for a long time and made a decision. Although with the exercises in the ring, it is not difficult for Lin Yaye Fei'er and others to practice.

But, alchemy, always have to be refined...

Even if there is danger, isn't there still the mysterious image given by the uncle?
"You two..."

Having made a decision, Ye Chen just wanted to let Jian Yu, Sheng Xueqing and the others stay here, but thinking of the spirit beast tiger, he dismissed the idea.

It's better to let the two of you stay with me to be safer...

call!
The next moment, the three of them felt in a trance for a while, as if jumping off the cliff next to Chilei Pavilion, presumably, they entered the space where the old man was.

Here, the grass is overgrown and the thorns are densely covered. The first feeling is desolate and primitive...

Looking at the situation here, it is very similar to the mountain peaks outside, but I always feel a little weird, as if it is not in a different era.

This is a hill, not particularly big, and there is an old man sitting cross-legged beside the hill. Judging from his face, this old man is the old man who tends to be a spirit beast.

Not far from the old man, there is an imperial mausoleum, perhaps because of its disrepair for a long time, only the grandeur of the imperial mausoleum can be vaguely seen.

"It's been a long time since anyone came..."

The old man sat still, without even raising his eyelids, but there was an exclamation from his body.

"what?"

The soul in Ye Chen's mind uttered a voice of surprise: "This is..."

"So cruel..."

"What do you mean?"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't notice anything unusual, the old man was lifelike, and there was some breath emerging from his body, it should be a living thing.

"No wonder it survived for so many years..."

The soul in his mind shook his head: "This is an ancient secret method, it can be regarded as a kind of immortality, but it is very cruel."

"Tell me..."

"This kind of secret method is called planting spirits. It uses the human body as the foundation to plant the soul. This piece of heaven and earth will not decay, the body's nutrition will not decrease, and the soul will not disperse!"

"To put it bluntly, people are regarded as trees. Although they have lived for a long time, they can only survive in the form of this stump. Only the soul can move. Even so, the soul cannot leave for too long."

"This……"

Hearing the explanation from the soul in his mind, Ye Chen was slightly startled and shook his head. What's the use of such immortality?
Sighing heavily, he walked up to the old man and bowed respectfully. No matter what, the old man was a loyal man who stayed alone by the imperial mausoleum for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Even so, what he wanted was to use medicinal materials in exchange for visiting the grave. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't do it.

Although such a person is pitiful, he is also worthy of respect!
Of course, respect is all respect, Ye Chen still has to be careful. After all, he attacked Sheng Xueqing before, and it was obvious that Sheng Xueqing's special physique was helpful to him.
