Chapter 692 The old man in the shack
When the child appeared, Li Qing and Xin Huo were stunned for a while.
But the beggar seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and crawled over the ground, "Elder! Help! Elder! Help!"
This scene completely confirms that this person is the so-called source, and that so-called blessing was given by him!
The child-like elder ignored the beggar who was asking for help on the ground and walked straight towards the two of them.
Li Qing's expression gradually became nervous, and he even took two steps back unconsciously. This instinctive behavior made Li Qing extremely annoyed.
Xin Huo was also almost nervous. The feeling of being suppressed by the other party was really uncomfortable for him.
The expressions of the two kept changing. Finally, under the nervous gaze of the two, the child finally walked in front of them, and behind him was the beggar rolling on the ground.
Li Qing's brows pounded for a few moments, and his eyes finally looked at the child.
The tender face, plus pure eyes, had an extremely calm expression. Looking at him, Li Qing actually felt like he was looking at his elders.
These completely different characteristics are combined into one person, and the other party is just a child. Li Qing can't accept such a strange combination at all.
"Why make things difficult for an ordinary person? Let's talk!"
The same words came out of the other party, and Li Qing could only nod, without any reason to refuse, or he did not dare to refuse the other party.
Xin Huo, who was standing beside him, also followed Li Qing and nodded silently.
The elder glanced at the beggar behind him and said softly: "Let everyone leave here and stop creating hatred."
The man was suddenly extremely satisfied, and quickly followed the elder's words and began to drive away the angry people around him.
The elder glanced at Li Qing, and then moved first.
Li Qing and Xin Huo looked at each other, then followed and followed the child elder.
After a few steps, the scene behind them quickly changed, and the whole process was extremely strange.
In just a moment, the environment where the few people were in an instant changed, and there was no trace of everything.
Of course, the next moment, Li Qing didn't dare to leave and said with great caution: "Where do you want to bring us?"
"Of course it's still the Craftsman City! Just follow me, someone wants to see you!" The elder replied calmly, and then continued to walk.
The surrounding environment was like a canvas, and he quickly moved forward in front of the three of them.
This scene suddenly made the two of them feel a little dizzy, but fortunately, all this happened quickly enough that neither of them had time to react to discomfort.
Their ultimate goal is not too far away, and it is not much different from where they were before, but it is just a little far away.
A very dilapidated shed was even leaking. Drops of water were handed down from the corners of the shed, and then it fell into the basin, splashing two smaller drops of water, plus a gradually spreading ripple.
Li Qing's eyes were always above this water droplet. This crisp and quiet moment made her feel extremely peaceful, and that impetuousness was immediately forced to suppress.
Xin Huo on the side also had the same expression. He looked at the water droplet in a daze, and a loose smile appeared on his face. This was Xin Huo's rare state of slackness. In the past, he was too nervous by the fire spirit in his body. At this moment, he finally relaxed, relying on two drops of water droplets.
The brief moment of peace made the few people present quiet, and no one said anything.
The water droplets dripped and Li Qing looked at it again and again.
The peace and calmness in her heart made her feel unprecedentedly comfortable. After a brief eye-closing and deep breathing, Li Qing
Opening my eyes, I recovered from that state.
Afterwards, he focused his eyes on the two people in front of him, one old and one young. The so-called elder was the so-called elder, while the old was a little too old. His whole body was as thin as a skinny and bone-skinned, with white hair and beards extremely messy. The only advantage was his deep eyes.
When he saw this gaze, Li Qing seemed to see Lu An's gaze, even deeper than Lu An's gaze.
Li Qing suddenly felt a trance.
The old man suddenly looked at Li Qing and smiled, with a very gratified smile on his face, "Lord Li, this is the first time we have met, right?"
This title immediately made Li Qing raise his eyebrows, "This title is a bit too early. Now the lord of Jiangcheng City is Tang Geng, not me!"
"It's okay, it's not you now, it will definitely be you in the future. You are the destined person of Jiangcheng. The future lord of Jiangcheng must be you, and you will also lead Jiangcheng to the peak of the future. This is a scene that everyone is looking forward to." The old man said very seriously.
This explanation sounds more like a prophecy. Li Qing felt a little strange after hearing it. In her opinion, only Lu An can accept the four words "Lu An" except Lu An, she doesn't think anyone can afford these four words.
So the old man's explanation made Li Qing feel extremely speechless, "The person you are talking about is not me, right? How could I be the so-called destiny? If it were a person like me, I would have been the best in the world!"
The old man laughed and glanced at the child beside him, "Get a few chairs over and let's have a good chat."
The child nodded and immediately pulled a few broken stools over.
The tattered stool had mold and moss. Li Qing looked at it and shook his head repeatedly, and said in extreme resistance: "No, I'll just stand! When will he wake up?" After that, he pointed to Xin Huo beside him.
The old man glanced at it and said with great relief: "He has obsession, so this is not a bad thing for him."
"Oh? Are you helping him practice your mind?" Li Qing said in extreme shock.
"Didn't you just now?" the old man asked directly.
Thinking of the water droplets before, Li Qing's impetuous heart was indeed much calmer or more comfortable, but this kind of scene similar to the illusion was not very attractive to Li Qing, a master.
"This is your ability to fool those people? Let them be willing to listen to your methods?" Li Qing said with great disdain.
The old man laughed and didn't explain anything, "Since Lord Li thinks so, I have no choice."
"You talk about City Lord Li at once, so I'm very familiar with you. I can't figure out who you are? Why have I never heard of your existence? When did you appear in Jiangcheng? What is your purpose in Jiangcheng! People as strong as you probably have some special reasons? Could it be that they want to compete for the position of City Lord in Jiangcheng?" Li Qing directly said an impossible guess.
Sure enough, the other party burst into laughter after hearing this and laughed happily, "Lord Li is really good at joking, but unfortunately what he said is not right. I just exist here for these people, and it is not as much as you think."
Li Qing naturally didn't believe in it at all. She had never encountered such a strong person before. Now she suddenly appeared in her sight. She did not appear early or late, but she appeared during the evaluation of the Qianlong List. The time point of appearance was too strange. If the other party had no intention, Li Qing would definitely not believe it.
At least the other party must have a purpose. Thinking about the fact that I came to such a broken street for no reason, it was probably the result of the other party's intentional act?
Li Qing asked bluntly: "You called me over?"
The old man nodded, "Yes, I called the city lord over, because I wanted to communicate with the city lord for some things, but
I didn’t expect that the city lord came so quickly and directly attacked others. This was something I didn’t expect.”
Li Qing stopped talking nonsense, "Since you called me, then you told me, why did you call me here? You can't just want to kill me? Although I'm not your opponent, if you want to kill me, I'm afraid you will have to pay a little price!"
Such resolute words made the old man laugh again, "I know you have this style, so I'm not surprised that you would say this, but you can rest assured that it is a good thing to call you over. Haven't you been looking for someone all the time? Or a bunch of people."
When he mentioned this, Li Qing straightened his back and looked at the old man extremely nervously, "Not you? Then do you know who it is? So you want to tell me the clue?"
The old man nodded, "That's right, because these people have touched the foundation of Jiangcheng this time, and you young people don't realize it, so I think I have to remind you, otherwise, the future of Jiangcheng will be unclear!"
Li Qing frowned, his face full of confusion, "Basic? What is the foundation of Jiangcheng? Isn't it the spiritual realm? The spiritual realm has always been well protected. I don't know what you are talking about?"
The old man nodded, "Yes, the spiritual realm is the foundation of the craftsman city, but Wu Jie can even give it to Xiaoyao Pavilion, so it means that the spiritual realm is not the realm of the craftsman city. The only thing that can be called the fundamental is only one word, that is the craftsman of the craftsman city!"
"Martial Artist?" Li Qing murmured in a low voice, not understanding what this word means at all.
The old man continued to explain: "Since Wu Jie left Jiangcheng, there have been great changes in Jiangcheng, but the overall foundation is still there. Although it is a little weak, it does not hinder the situation. Unfortunately, the foundation of Jiangcheng has changed now. It is no longer those craftsmen. It can be said that there is no foundation. It is no longer apart from ordinary cities. This is the biggest change in Jiangcheng!"
Now Li Qing understood a little bit what this person was trying to say. She didn't understand very much and shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Senior, what you said in my opinion is just nostalgia. The Jiangcheng is not as bad as you think. It can even be said that it is getting better, with more people and greater trade."
"Except for the status being lower and lower!" the old man added.
Unfortunately, Li Qing couldn't refute this, because this is also the current situation they want to change, and this status is indeed getting lower and lower.
This time, the Qianlong List is to replace the irreplaceable status of Xiaoyao Pavilion, and to make Jiangcheng the same status as Xiaoyao Pavilion.
This was the original intention at the beginning. Unfortunately, what he said from the old man made Li Qing feel a little bit suspicious of this original intention. Could it be that there is really something wrong with this idea?
"What do you want to say? I am not interested in this matter now. I am only interested in the assassination killer. After you have said so much, why don't you tell us who that person is directly?" Li Qing immediately changed the topic.
"It's a very simple truth. If you succeed, whoever loses the greatest amount will be the greatest suspicion!" the old man replied calmly.
This basically directly points the target to Xiaoyao Pavilion, because after success, only Xiaoyao Pavilion will suffer losses, but other forces will not suffer any losses at all, and they will even get benefits from this evaluation.
Xiaoyao Pavilion played a very unfortunate role in it. So guessing that Xiaoyao Pavilion wanted to stop Jiangcheng seemed to be over.
"Is it really Xiaoyao Pavilion?" Li Qing said nervously. Their relationship with Xiaoyao Pavilion has always been very subtle. The two were very good before, but now they are not very good, but both sides are still very restrained. If this time is confirmed, then the relationship between the two will be really shattered and there will be no room for maneuver. Moreover, there is still a little girl still staying in Jiangcheng.
The old man did not nod and shook his head, smiled slightly, and nodded.
