Chapter 849 The Mysterious Old Man
"Don't be afraid, little girl." I saw an old man slowly coming out from the depths of the cave: "The old man came to pick fruits on the mountain. I didn't expect that the forest is so deep that he got lost." The old man swallowed, "Just now I smelled a burst of aroma, and I haven't eaten for a whole day."

"We are both hungry people from the end of the world. Why should we know each other when we meet again? Come and eat together." Gu Tian looked this thin old man up and down, his features were kind but he didn't look like a bad guy, so he pulled a chicken thigh and handed it over: " By the way, sir, don't you know that this mountain is the territory of Jianyuan Sect?"

"Well, I know. We ordinary people seldom come to this mountain. It's just that this year's harvest is not good, so we want to go up the mountain to pick some wild fruits... But we forgot the way along the way, and didn't expect that this mountain is actually It’s a lost mountain, I really shouldn’t have walked so deep. Seeing the sky getting dark, I’m afraid that there will be wild beasts appearing at night, so I plan to temporarily hide in this cave for the night.”

The old man unceremoniously pulled another chicken wing and gnawed it, and praised the tenderness of the pheasant while eating.Gu Tian and the old man talked and laughed, and seemed to hit it off.But Cuicui never lowered her guard against this old man, because she couldn't read his thoughts.In this case, either he is a master with a higher realm than himself and can completely resist the exposure of his thoughts; or he is just an ordinary person who has never been in contact with cultivation.Because Cui Cui can easily read the other party's thoughts as long as the true energy in her body is circulating, so she is always looking for various clues on the old man.

"What are you two doing here?" the old man casually asked Gu Tian while gnawing on a chicken wing.

"Oh, not long ago I heard that the old gang leader passed away. He is our family's great benefactor, so I brought my sister over to worship."

"Yes, the old gang leader Zhai is kind-hearted and has done a lot of good deeds during his lifetime. However, the current Jianyuan faction seems to be different from the past..." The old man paused, and tears welled up in his eyes: "It turns out that you are not from the Jianyuan faction. People. To be honest, I actually went to the mountain to find my son. Not long ago he said he wanted to go out for a walk, but he never came home. My wife and I were very worried, so we went up the mountain to have a look. I lost my way. What should I do if my wife is left alone at home..."

"Wait a minute, what did you mean when you said that the Jianyuan faction is different from the past?"

The old man wiped away his tears: "Young man, you may not know that the Jianyuan faction has been recruiting troops from all over the world recently, and the trend has expanded. Many young people in our village went up the mountain without telling their families, and then disappeared."

Gu Tian patted the old man on the shoulder, "Don't worry, old man, we're going up the mountain anyway, so why not come with us, we'll take care of you."

Cui Cui was not very angry, wondering if this guy was really poisoned and stupid, so she pouted: "Your wife is really careless, knowing that you are going to climb such a big mountain by yourself, you didn't prepare any dry food. Yes Uncle, what's your son's name?"

The old man rolled his eyes, thinking that she is really a ghostly little girl with so many eyes. "Han Shan."

Gu Tian smiled slightly: "Uncle Han, then you should rest early. You have to hurry tomorrow morning."

In the early morning, a hummingbird flew to Gu Tian's hand.Gu Tian opened the note, the font was square and dense, the strokes were light and heavy vertically, the strokes were powerful, round and thick, and the momentum was majestic and majestic. "If you don't want to die, hurry back and return to your life."

"Cui Cui, we have to hurry up, I have to go back to the capital to report to the Queen."

"Aren't you going to take that old man with you? I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult." Cui Cui deliberately taunted Gu Tian.

Gu Tian winked: "My dear Cui Cui, it would be too pitiful to leave the old man alone. As long as we go in the right direction, a few hours will be enough."

"Old man, let's go." So Gu Tian looked at Sinan, and pulled the old man and Cuicui up the mountain together.

When they came to an intersection, two forked roads diverged in front of them, Gu Tian looked at Si Nan who was spinning around in his hand, and made a helpless expression to Cui Cui.

"Cui Cui, which way should you go based on your female intuition?" Cui Cui thought for a while: "Men left and women right, I think it is the right."

"Well, you go to the right, and the old man and I will go to the left. Whoever arrives first will use this as a signal." Gu Tian took out a flare from his chest and handed it to Cui Cui. "Ignite this rope and point it to the sky, and I will know where you are."

Although Cui Cui was a little skeptical, she thought that it might be smoother to get rid of the two oil bottles, and she couldn't think of any other way for the time being, so she had to do it first.

Seeing Cui Cui walking away, Gu Tian smiled, and took out another magnet from his chest, thinking: Fortunately, I left half of it as Sinan just now.Throwing the magnet, Sinan instantly returned to normal.

"The junior pays respects to the senior." Gu Tian arched his hands together.

The old man stared, "Master Gu is really a talent for managing the world, then I don't have to go around in circles."
