Chapter 465 An Old Man by the Black River

As the sound of "dong dong dong" continued to sound, getting louder and closer... Xie Chen and the other four also came to the source of the sound.

When they arrived here, Qi Yin and the other three found that there were countless stone tablets here, all of which were engraved with a dense string of runes and exuded a wisp of Tao rhyme.

However, they could not understand and did not understand the meaning of the runes on them.

Under one of the stone tablets, there stood an old man.

He was holding a sledgehammer and a spike, engraving something on this huge stone tablet.

Qi Yin and the other three were shocked.

I didn't expect that there would be someone in such a place.

And there are so many rune tablets. Could it be that... these rune tablets were all engraved by the old man in front of them?

The more Qi Yin and the other three thought about it, the more incredible it was.

With each hammer of the old man, it seemed to hit their souls, making them feel their minds concentrated, and a trace of trembling appeared in their hearts.

Xie Chen gradually walked to the old man...

He stood there without saying anything, just glanced at the old man, and then looked at the talisman tablet in front of him.

And the old man seemed not to notice Xie Chen's arrival, and was still doing what he was doing.

After a while.

Xie Chen retracted his gaze and said to the old man: "It's been so long, don't you feel tired?"

Hearing Xie Chen's words, the old man was obviously stunned for a moment, and the sledgehammer in his hand paused, but soon continued to hammer.

"I'm not tired, I'm used to it."

Xie Chen said: "Why don't you stop, it's okay to take a break occasionally."

The old man shook his head: "I can't stop, once I stop, I will probably forget it."

Hearing this, Xie Chen smiled faintly and continued: "It's a good way. You engrave all your memories to prevent yourself from forgetting your true self."

"However, this is also a temporary solution, not a permanent solution. If you continue like this, there will always be a day when you will get lost here."

Hearing this, the sledgehammer in the old man's hand stopped in mid-air again.

Qiyin, Hongyun Patriarch, and Zhang Dong, who were standing by, looked confused, as if they were dumbfounded.

They didn't understand what Xie Chen was talking about with the old man.

But they seemed to understand one thing, that is, the words on the talisman tablets in front of them seemed to be the old man's memory.

He carved his memories to prevent himself from forgetting them one day.

But carving all his memories, how much work it would take, the three of them didn't dare to imagine.

Then, the old man stopped, sat down on the talisman tablet, and sighed.

"This is also a helpless way. He forced me to be like this, and I can't do anything about it."

"Now, I can only live here, barely."

Xie Chen smiled and said, "Then you are going to linger here, if that's the case, then you might as well die early, maybe one day in the future, you will have a chance to be reborn."

"Hehehe..." The old man suddenly laughed, "You are right, this is also a way, maybe one day, I will really take this path."

The old man sighed again and looked at Xie Chen.

"Where do you come from, sir?"

The old man couldn't see through any of Xie Chen's aura, but he had a feeling that the other party might be a more extraordinary existence than himself.

Xie Chen smiled and said, "Same as you, but maybe a little higher than you."

Hearing this, the old man's eyes trembled obviously, as if he couldn't believe it.

He looked up at the list of strange beasts above the sky again, as if he understood it.

"So that's how it is, sir is really extraordinary."

"I prefer others to call me Palace Master."

The old man was stunned for a moment, and chuckled again: "Yes, Palace Master."

Xie Chen spoke again: "I can help you solve your problem."

"However, you have to join me. If there is a need, you have to help me do things in the future."

"This..."

The old man hesitated for a while.

Can Xie Chen really solve his own problem? And asking him to join, this is really a bit...

"Are you sure you can do it, you know, my problem is..."

Xie Chen interrupted him: "Just make the decision, the rest doesn't need you to consider."

"You don't have to worry about being bound. I don't need you to do anything normally, but you have to respond when I need you."

"..."

The old man fell silent again.

Even though Xie Chen said this, he didn't agree to Xie Chen right now.

Seeing this, Xie Chen was not in a hurry.

"I'll give you one day to think about it. If you want, you can come to Tiandao Hall to find me. With your ability, you should know where it is."

"However, you only have this one chance, and you won't wait. Think it over carefully."

"..."

The old man remained silent, and seemed to be in a dilemma.

Xie Chen ignored him and turned to leave, saying to the three people of Qiyin:

"Let's go, it's time for us to go back."

The three people of Qiyin nodded, looked at the old man again, and then followed Xie Chen to leave here.

The old man looked at Xie Chen's receding figure and sighed again...

He left the Black River.

Qiyin finally couldn't help but be curious and asked Xie Chen: "Palace Master, who is that old man? You seem to be very familiar with him?"

Zhang Dong and Hongyun Patriarch also showed a curious expression.

It seems that Xie Chen came out this time just for this old man.

"You have seen it, I am the same as you, and I also met him for the first time today." Xie Chen explained.

"But I know his identity very well. He is the Heavenly Dao of this Yousheng Continent."

Hearing this, Qiyin and the other two nodded.

So that's it. This old man is the Heavenly Dao of the Yousheng Continent. No wonder he couldn't understand the characters carved on the stele. It must be the characters of the Heavenly Dao.

"..."

Time seemed to stop, the next moment.

"Ah?!!!"

Qiyin, Zhang Dong, and Hongyun Patriarch stopped, opened their eyes and mouths wide, and were stunned on the spot!

...

On the other side, Mingdu Zuan.

Countless ghosts lingered here. The ghosts that were originally floating normally suddenly became flustered and a little panicked.

In the depths of the ancestral shore, behind a void gate, the owner of the Mingdu ancestral shore opened his eyes.

"This is...!"

The owner of the Mingdu ancestral shore seemed to have noticed something, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Then, her eyes passed through the void gate and looked in one direction.

Oh?

Xie Chen was surprised and seemed to have noticed something.

He stopped and looked in one direction...
