Chapter 1653 The strange old man

Wucheng was once the ancestral land of the Ouyang family.

From ancient times to the present, this city has undergone countless wars, and has been destroyed and built again and again. The owner has also changed countless times.

The Ouyang family was severely damaged by its vitality and was then removed from the list by Ji Xuefu. One of the six famous families has now become a passing cloud.

Now the city has been rebuilt again, but the owner has obviously changed. It is also a family of cultivators, but its strength is obviously not as strong as the Ouyang family. It is just located in such a chaotic era. If you have the opportunity, you may not be able to rise.

This city has had some connection with me. On the way home, Chen Pan couldn't help but walk in.

There are many patterns in the city that seem to be not much different from before, but the population is obviously no longer as good as before.

After turning around casually, Chen Pan walked into a restaurant, found a place by the window to sit down, ordered some things casually, and then quietly watched the pedestrians coming and going below.

Everything seems to be very calm here, but in no time, it will probably become chaotic again, and this time may come soon.

Chen Pan ate something casually, and suddenly felt aroused in his heart. He felt that someone had gone upstairs, and depending on the situation, it seemed that he was coming to him.

When I turned my head, I saw an old man in a low-end dress, with an irreconcilable appearance, but he looked very energetic.

The old man walked straight to Chen Pan and sat down, then said, "Young man, don't mind me sitting here!"

The voice was slightly hoarse, but it was not very unpleasant.

Chen Pan did not answer. He just looked around and said, "Isn't there still a space left?"

Although this restaurant is not big, it is still a bit large. In addition, the population of Wucheng is not very prosperous, and there are still many vacant seats on this floor.

The old man smiled: "When people are old, they like to sit by the window, which is more comfortable. There are people sitting in other locations, so they can only compete with you. You won't mind!"

Chen Pan looked at it casually and it turned out to be as the old man said. There were already people sitting in other places beside the window, in groups of three or three, only he was alone.

"Don't mind!" Chen Pan smiled slightly, but was thinking about who came. He couldn't feel that this person's cultivation was either a mortal with no cultivation, or a terrible strong man who was so strong that he could not even detect his own strength.

Intuition told him that the old man should be the latter. Chen Pan was silent and waited silently. This man must have been not as simple as having a meal with him.

The old man quickly delivered the items, ate them casually, and nodded with satisfaction: "No, good, not too bad, I haven't eaten them for many years. The taste is better."

"Old man, have you come to eat often before?" Chen Pan couldn't help asking.

If this old man is a mortal without cultivation, he may be younger than him, but he doesn't mind.

The old man nodded: "Yeah, I come to eat occasionally. But I haven't been here for many years, and I almost forgot about this taste."

"Oh? How come you haven't been here for many years?" Chen Pan asked casually. But he immediately realized it: "Because of the war!"

Not to mention before, there was a major transfer and I stayed at Nether Island for three hundred years. No matter whether the old man was a mortal or a monk, for three hundred years, it was considered a long time.

Sure enough, the old man nodded: "Yes, wars are in chaos, fighting one after another, and I don't know when it will end."

After saying that, he shook his head with emotion, and these words resonated with Chen Pan.

"War... is such a hateful thing. It would be great if it could be allowed to disappear forever." Chen Pan sighed.

"Vanish?" The old man shook his head: "It's not easy, difficult, quite difficult!"

Chen Pan nodded: "Yes, there are disputes and differences in places where there are people... Well, there will be no peace between regions and regions, and between countries and countries in the end."

I wanted to talk about the other world and the main world, but I think about it and it is better to say that it is smaller.

"This little brother seems to be very touching about these things! Look at the root of this war?" The old man stopped Taotie's movements and looked at Chen Pan and asked seriously.

Chen Pan thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "I can't explain clearly, maybe it's an irreconcilable contradiction."

The old man nodded: "Contradiction is right. Because the contradiction cannot be reconciled, he fists and kicks and eventually turns into war. In my opinion, the fundamental thing is still interests."

Chen Pan did not answer, waiting for the other party’s following.

"What kind of interests? Money and status are the second best interests. The biggest interest is the space for survival. Everyone wants to take the other party's territory for themselves. With territory, there is everything. Even if you don't have the idea of ​​seizing other people's territory, you are unwilling to lose your own territory. When others fight, you will naturally have to resist, and then the war breaks out."

The old man said slowly, Chen Pan did not comment, but he also felt that there was a certain reason. However, it was unreasonable to reach the world of cultivation. The territory was meaningless, and absolute strength was everything.

"Do you know the world of cultivation?" Chen Pan couldn't help but ask because of his intentions.

The old man nodded: "I know something, do you want to talk about the war in the world of cultivation?"

Chen Pan nodded: "I have this idea. The war in the world of cultivation is different from the mortal world. It doesn't feel that the territory or something is meaningless. Personal strength is everything. Of course, what I said may not be right."

The old man thought for a while and said, "What you said makes sense, but it is not entirely true. The space for survival is always the greatest benefit. Maybe you have a huge strength and it doesn't matter, but what about other people? What about your relatives and your tribe members?"

"In a barren place, the gods and immortals can just be cultivated with the energy of heaven and earth. But what about those tribesmen who have insufficient cultivation or tribesmen who have no cultivation? Without food, sunshine, and things that need to survive, they are dead. Even gods and immortals cannot create these real things out of thin air!"

"And the source of these things is the space for survival. If the living space is enough, all parties can be at peace, and this cannot be the main contradiction. But one day, if this space is not enough, what should I do?"

And what? There is only one conclusion, which is to fight for it. Survival is always the most basic driving force of life. A person can die without hesitation for the people he cares about, but few people sacrifice for an irrelevant person.

When the battle comes, the war breaks out and many people will be involved.

Just like myself, the ancient continent actually has no meaning for its own survival. With its own cultivation, it can live anywhere. But for the sake of its relatives, it has to fight a life-and-death battle with monks from other worlds.

This old man is definitely not an ordinary person. Chen Pan put away his mind and asked respectfully.

"I dare to ask the senior for his honorable name."
