Author: Under the Night Stars

This is the first time I met a stranger and an old man in the primitive mountains.

Ning Cheng didn't answer. He stood up from the ground and planned to leave.

"My little friend, aren't you going to take a rest?" The old man took a sip of hot tea and said, "It took a lot of effort to get here, but it's better to think more about it."

Ning Cheng stopped and returned to the pavilion: "Senior, are you planning to treat me to a cup of tea?"

"certainly!"

The old man waved his hand in vain, and Ning Cheng hesitated before taking a seat.

"Not everyone can drink my tea." The old man poured a cup of tea for Ning Cheng with a smile and said, "It's not easy along the way, right?"

Ning Cheng took a sip of tea and said, "It's not bad."

"Hahahaha, you little guy is dishonest." The old man shook his head and said, "But this determination does have merit!"

Ning Cheng finished the tea and wanted to use his perception to understand the old man's realm. He suddenly remembered that he could not release his perception in the primitive mountain.

So I had no choice but to give up.

"Little guy, just rest here." The old man poured Ning Cheng another cup of tea: "With your strength, this place is your limit."

Ning Cheng smiled and asked: "Senior, is this the will of the original mountain?"

"Me?" The old man smiled and waved his hand: "I am not what you are talking about. I am just an ordinary little old man who lives here."

The old man has a kind attitude and a kind face.

Ning Cheng would not believe such nonsense. Are people who can live in the primitive mountains considered human beings?

Treating this place as your own back garden, Yuanshan will definitely not allow such a thing to happen.

Even if the old man does not have the will, he must have a deep connection with the original mountain.

Noticing Ning Cheng's wandering eyes observing the pavilion, the old man reached out and knocked twice on the red painted pillar: "Don't worry, this is not an illusion. It's safe here. Have some tea and chat with me, and then go down the mountain.

Bar."

Ning Cheng did not answer.

He finally arrived here, so naturally he would not give up easily.

"Senior, I still want to try." Ning Cheng said.

"You will die if you try it." The old man said with a smile: "You should feel it yourself, I am not being alarmist."

Ning Cheng thought for a while and said tentatively: "What if it's senior who takes me up the mountain?"

"Oh?" The old man raised his eyebrows, and then laughed loudly: "Interesting! Interesting! In so many years, you are the second person to make such a request to me!"

Ning Cheng said: "What about the first person to make this request?"

The old man said: "I took him up the mountain."

The old man didn't say much. Ning Cheng knew very well that climbing up the mountain was definitely not climbing the original mountain.

"How about it? Do you want the old man to take you up too?" The old man asked: "Of course, I won't be responsible for anything that happens."

Ning Cheng put down his tea cup, hesitated and said, "Let this junior think about it."

"good!"

The old man said: "I will wait for you until dark."

The old man continued making tea by himself, completely ignoring Ning Cheng.

For several hours, the two of them never exchanged a word.

Ning Cheng sat down cross-legged to practice while the old man drank tea over and over again.

As soon as it got dark, Ning Cheng opened his eyes.

The old man smiled: "What's your answer?"

Ning Cheng didn't answer, he stood up and walked to the old man, the spirit-cutting sword in his hand transformed.

The old man raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect Ning Cheng to draw his sword. Instead of panicking, he asked: "What does this mean?"

Without saying a word, Ning Cheng thrust out his sword!

This sword went straight to the old man's heart!

A sword pierced the old man's body.

The old man held the tea cup in his hand and looked at Ning Cheng doubtfully.

Ning Cheng drew out his spirit-slaying sword.

Then he said: "Senior, I want to drink tea."

The old man seemed not to have seen Ning Cheng take action and said: "Hahaha, let's have some tea."

Ning Cheng took back the Spirit-Slaying Sword. He was sure that the old man here was a checkpoint, more like a program.

It may be set by the original mountain, and the purpose of being here is to allow climbers to make choices.

There is no use in doing anything other than choosing.

Ning Cheng tested it with the Soul-Slaying Sword. The old man was not injured at all and ignored his attack.

It means that the old man does not have the strength. As long as he makes his own choice, everything around him may change.

To go or not to go, that is indeed the question.

Ning Cheng drank another cup of tea.

"Little guy, the time we agreed on has come, and we have to make our own choice."

Ning Cheng didn't answer and sat there with the teacup in his hand all night.

The next day, the sky was slightly brighter, and Ning Cheng still didn't make a choice.

He wanted to see what would happen if he chose to delay.

"My little friend, would you like some tea?"

The old man seemed to be activated and asked mechanically.

"Senior, how many years have you been here?" Ning Cheng asked, changing the subject.

"I?"

The old man thought for a while and replied: "I have been here since I was a child. How many years have I forgotten? Do you want some tea?"

"I won't drink anymore, thank you."

Ning Cheng stood up and planned to leave the pavilion.

"Little friend, give up, you will die if you continue to go up." The old man said.

Ning Cheng turned around, smiled and clasped his fists: "Then I dare to ask senior, how can I go on alive."

The old man was stunned for a moment.

This time, Ning Cheng didn't answer immediately.

As if after careful consideration, the old man changed his expression and said expressionlessly: "No matter what, you will die."

Ning Cheng said: "What if I bring senior with me? You live here, so you should be very familiar with this place."

The old man thought for a while and frowned.

This was the first time Ning Cheng saw an expression other than gentleness on the old man.

He never answered Ning Cheng again.

Ning Cheng stood there with a downcast expression, as if Ning Cheng had accidentally triggered a bug.

Ning Cheng took a few steps back.

The old man actually returned to the pavilion and sat down, smiling again.

Ning Cheng took a step forward.

"My little friend, would you like some tea?" The old man returned to his gentle smile.

Ning Cheng raised his eyebrows, this was a programmed procedure!

The reason why Ning Cheng wastes time here with the program is because he always feels a little weird.

Perhaps this old man is the key to breaking the situation.

If you break in rashly, you will be in danger.

Along the way, Ning Cheng has understood the mystery of the primitive mountain.

Everything in this mountain is not useless. Ning Cheng has planned to study carefully how to make the old man change.

"Senior, I don't like drinking tea." Ning Cheng said with a smile.

"Oh? What do you like to drink?"
