Chapter 79: The Old Man
Suddenly, the strange scene he and Yin Ruchen saw that day reappeared before his eyes. Then, he remembered the prophecy of the wizard at the East Gate and the words of the old man he met in the dead woods. He suddenly hated himself: Yan Moying, Yan Moying, why are you so useless? ! You came here for the people of Jingyin Country. You have come here through all the hardships, but you have the thought of hesitation. Are you still a man who can stand tall and upright? Your conscience has not been eaten, and your responsibility is unshirkable. In this situation, you cannot hesitate at all. You can only rush forward, and rush forward without hesitation!
Yan Moying immediately stepped onto the winding gravel road and walked quickly.
The road ahead did not seem as dangerous as he had imagined. The sun was shining brightly and the scenery was green, which made him feel free and comfortable.
We walked for a long time and the road seemed to have no end, until a cave appeared in front of us.
He continued walking along the gravel road and entered the cave. Not long after he walked, he saw another entrance to the cave.
After walking out of the cave, he found himself in a completely different environment from before - the air was freezing cold, and the cold wind was blowing the goose feather-like snow.
He accidentally looked back at the road he had come from - the cave entrance had disappeared, leaving only the towering mountain. The falling snow covered the gravel road, making the route less and less obvious.
Yan Moying kept using his feet to push away the snow covering the gravel road, groping his way forward.
The sky was growing darker and darker, and the snow gradually reached above his knees. He used his internal energy to resist the severe cold, until he saw the faint candlelight coming from a wooden house in the distance. Only then did he feel that the cold was not as unbearable as before.
He was getting closer and closer to the cabin.
Chapter 27
The door of the wooden house suddenly opened, and a man walked out: "Good boy, I didn't misjudge you! You must be frozen, come in and warm up!" Yan Moying took a closer look - this man was the old man he met in the dead woods!
He suddenly remembered the dream and understood why he felt that the old man looked familiar when he first met him in the dead woods. It turned out that this person was the old man in his dream who said to him, "It's starting... This is your destiny..." The old man was wearing the same clothes as in his dream.
"Ah?! It's really you, senior! Junior greets you!" Yan Moying bowed.
"Of course it's me! Why? Who do you think it is? Don't you believe me?" The old man said with a smile as he led Yan Moying into the wooden house. The wooden house was warm, and it seemed like two different worlds compared to the freezing cold outside.
"I just don't understand." Yan Moying continued.
"What don't you understand? Just ask, and I'll make you understand." After the old man came in, he took the kettle from the stove and poured water into the bowl while speaking to Yan Moying.
Just as Yan Moying was about to ask, he saw a bundle of firewood next to the stove used by the old man. That bundle of firewood turned out to be one of the bundles he had cut in the dead woods that day. Even the knot when bundling was tied by himself, as if it had not been touched.
Seeing Yan Moying's somewhat surprised expression, the old man smiled, then handed a bowl of water to Yan Moying and said, "Drink some hot water to warm yourself up!"
Yan Moying took the hot water, thanked the old man, but put the bowl on the table next to him and did not drink the water immediately.
