The best little magician in the countryside

Chapter 697
After the Changsheng Terrace landed, Jiang Chen and Tian Ye subconsciously stared at it.

The things placed on the seamless stone table are only a book and two thin red strings.

When Jiang Chen and Tian Ye walked towards that side, the old man smiled and said: "That book contains what you have been looking for."

Standing in front of the table, Jiang Chen reached out and picked up the book.

"eternal!"

On the first page, these two characters are written in seal script.

Afterwards, Jiang Chen turned back, his eyes swept over, and there was not much content inside.

Each page is almost only one or two lines or a few words.

There are a few pages apart, and there are some extremely difficult to understand patterns on it.

The reason why these patterns are incomprehensible is because it seems that many patterns are folded together, and the lines are extremely messy. If you don't look at it patiently and carefully, you can't see that it is a pattern at all. It looks like it was painted a few times.

Turning to the end, there is no end page, and there is only half of a sentence on the previous page, but there is no end page.

Jiang Chen slightly frowned and asked, "Isn't this the complete book?"

"A quarter." The old man laughed.

"What about the remaining three quarters?" Tian Ye asked with a frown.

"It was divided into three parts and put in other different places." The old man said with a playful smile, "So, if you want to find them all, you have to look for the other three places."

"Where?" Jiang Chen asked.

The old man shook his head: "Read it yourself, understand it yourself, it's all in the book."

Hearing this, several black lines suddenly appeared on Jiang Chen's forehead.

Looking at Tianye, he murmured: "There is always a feeling of being cheated."

Tian Ye also felt this way, she turned to look at the old man, and asked again: "Senior, is this book about the secret of longevity?"

"That's right." The old man said with a smile: "The four books together are a complete version of eternity. If you comprehend the complete version of eternity, you can obtain eternal life."

"Then why come up with such a method?"

"I do not know."

The old man shook his head and said, "Actually, I am also very puzzled by this question."

Jiang Chen and Tian Ye looked at each other.

Both of them were slightly disappointed.

I thought that after going through so many dangers, I could really get the secret of longevity.

But I didn't expect that it was only a quarter of it.

It's like someone drew a cake for you.

There are big lobsters and braised pork you want to eat on the cake.

But when you meet the requirements of the cake painter, you find that the cake is only a small piece, and there is only a little bit of shrimp meat on it, and less than a piece of braised pork.

Then do you want to swear?
Anyway, Jiang Chen thought about it.

Not only did he think, but he also cursed directly: "Which fool is playing such a big game!"

"cough."

The old man coughed lightly.

Heaven hastily tugged at Jiang Chen: "Be cautious in your words and deeds!"

"Actually, what he said is correct." The old man smiled coyly: "I also think that the person who set up this game is a bit brain-dead, but that guy should be dead. Is it brain-dead, or why did he make such a big game?" , the answer may not be found.”

"Then you..." Jiang Chen hesitated to speak.

He wanted to ask who the old man was and why he appeared here.

But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt a little rash again.

After all, what the old man represents is not nearly him alone, but the master who built the Canglong Hall, and the great power who established the Heaven-reaching Dao.

He, maybe he won't say it, or it's a taboo that no one can mention.

Sure enough, the old man waved his hand and smiled: "I know what you want to ask, and I really want to tell you directly, but I can't, because the rules dictate that, of course, after you find other eternal fragments, maybe you will know directly Answer."

"You guard the Canglong Hall in Dragon Bone Stream. Does that mean that there are guardians like you in the other three places?" Tianye asked.

The old man shook his head first, then shook his head again.

Such a move made Tian Ye look at a loss.

The old man said with a leisurely smile: "With four fragments, there will indeed be four people with the same responsibility as me, but we are not guardians."

"What is that?" God asked.

The old man thought for a while: "Watching the gate? Maybe you understand it better."

hiss!
Hearing this, Jiang Chen took a deep breath.

Tomb Keeper.

And public cemeteries look at the gates.

These are completely two concepts.

Most of the tomb guards are the descendants of the most trusted generation before the deceased.

It has been passed on and guarded the tomb for thousands of years.

It is for the mission.

The gatekeeper in front of the cemetery is, to put it bluntly, just a temporary worker.

The old man in front of him, whether it is personal strength or the treasures he possesses, is by no means comparable to ordinary people.

A character like him is just a gatekeeper?

This is so surprising.

God feels the same way.

He couldn't help smacking his tongue secretly: "The person who created this eternal secret art must be so terrifying."

"In fact, that's it." The old man spread his hands and said, "Perhaps, he lived tens of hundreds of years longer than normal humans, but he died in the end. He wrote the book of eternity, but he may not be It has truly reached eternity."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows: "It's pretty good to live for hundreds of years. At least it's outside the rules, and it's been hundreds of years."

"Do you think that if you live a few hundred years longer, you have broken beyond the rules?" The old man shook his head and smiled meaningfully: "As everyone knows, there are rules beyond the rules."

"What do you mean?"

"We are in a cage, breaking this cage is not real freedom, but stepping into a bigger cage."

The old man paused for a moment, then smiled again: "Of course, at least, we can see a wider sky, can't we?"

Jiang Chen rubbed his chin, he still couldn't understand what he said.

As for Tian Ye, her comprehension is not as good as that of Jiang Chen.

The old man waved his hand: "Since you have picked up the Eternal Remnant Scroll, let's take those two red strings as well."

"What does this red string mean?"

"It's a special mark for you." The old man explained: "This red rope is made of a special material. I don't know what material it is, but this red rope has something to do with this heavenly space. connection."

"Everyone who enters here and reads the fragments has a rope like this. When this person gets the full version of the Eternal Secret Technique and understands its meaning, his name will appear here. , on the contrary, if he dies, his name will also disappear from Tongtian Dao."

After listening to the old man's explanation, both Jiang Chen and Tian Ye were silent for a moment.

After all, there are many incomprehensible meanings in what the old man said just now.

After a while, Jiang Chen asked: "I have two questions."

"Say." The old man smiled.Although he hated Jiang Chen's disdain for him before, he seemed to enjoy chatting with Jiang Chen very much.

Jiang Chen said: "First, you just said that you have seen the fragments? Instead of taking the fragments? What do you mean? Second, you mean that the names of those who enter here will be recorded in a special way, then We haven't said our respective names, so how could our names appear in this Tongtian Dao?"
