Song Changsheng and others' expressions changed slightly, and they immediately stood up and took out Law Artifact and looked at the direction of the sound vigilantly.
Next to a piece of Qinggang Rock not far away from them, stood a tall old man in a shabby gray fish pattern robe.
He looked to be in his sixties, with a long gray beard, but it had obviously not been taken care of for a long time. His hair was messy, his bronze skin was rough, his face was covered with wrinkles, and he held a yellow-orange Wine Gourd in his hands with thick knuckles.
There is no fluctuation of spiritual energy on his body, his aura is empty, and he looks like a slovenly old Wine Ghost.
But Song Changsheng and others dare not take it lightly.
Although they are resting here, Divine Sense has always been out in the open, and any disturbance within a few hundred feet cannot be hidden from them.
However, this old man seemed to appear out of thin air, and actually came within a hundred feet of them silently. For Foundation Establishment Cultivator, this was already an extremely dangerous distance, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was so close.
Moreover, if the other party hadn't taken the initiative to reveal his whereabouts, he could have gotten even closer.
This person is by no means as harmless as he seems. If you can't detect the opponent's cultivation level, it can only be said that their cultivation level is too weak.
The opponent is most likely Purple Mansion Great Cultivator or even higher!
But what made them feel slightly reassured was that the other party seemed to have no ill intentions.
Song Changsheng and others looked at each other, and finally Zhuang Yuechan said respectfully, "Junior Zhuang Yuechan, from Sunset City, and learned from Great City Lord, may I ask my senior's surname, Daming?"
Hearing this, the old man chuckled and said, "It turns out that he is the disciple of Great City Lord. The old lady calls him Drunken Old Man. He happened to be passing by here and was attracted by the barbecue."
Song Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "I happened to be passing by here"?
What about the liar?
This Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is located deep in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, desolate and remote, and surrounded by dangers. Except for those with clear goals like them, few people will come here.
Besides, how could Tianxia be such a coincidence? As soon as their front legs reached their back legs, this person "happened to pass by". I'm afraid he had been targeting them for a long time, right?
"Changsheng, I have never heard of the name Drunken Old Man. If what he said is true, I'm afraid he is not a Great Qi Cultivation World person." Zhuang Yuechan said secretly.
Purple Palace Cultivator in Great Qi Cultivation World is less than three digits. Not everyone knows Zhuang Yuechan, but everyone remembers the name. There is no "Drunken Old Man" among them.
"The name is just a code name, and what he says may not necessarily be the truth, but I think he doesn't seem to have any malicious intentions. Let's find out his purpose first."
Song Changsheng would not simply think that the other party, Tangtang Purple Mansion Great Cultivator, came to the door just for this bite of barbecue. He must have wanted something else.
Zhuang Yuechan understood in his heart and respectfully asked the middle-aged man, "I wonder what senior Drunken Old Man is here for. Is there anything I need the services of this junior and others?"
Hearing this, the old man just waved his hand, then sat down next to Qinggang Rock without any image and said, "I just want to satisfy my appetite, there is nothing important to do."
After that, as if he was afraid that Song Changsheng and others would disagree, he shook the Wine Gourd in his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't eat you for free. I'll give you wine in exchange. This wine I have is not ordinary. Many people beg for it and I won't give it to you."
Zhuang Yuechan and Song Changsheng looked at each other, then Song Changsheng Fingers Together Like a Sword cut off more than half of the roasted golden and shiny tiger meat, wrapped it in a piece of silk cloth, and then slowly walked towards the old man.
His speed is neither fast nor slow, but his nerves are extremely tense. If the opponent makes the slightest move, he will throw out the [Red Refining Bead] hidden in his sleeve.
But the old man just stared at the barbecue in his hand from beginning to end, and made swallowing sounds from time to time.
"Senior, please use it slowly." Song Changsheng carefully placed the barbecue in front of the old man and said respectfully.
Drunken Old Man nodded with a smile.
Just when Song Changsheng was about to retreat, Song Changsheng suddenly felt a strong and powerful hand holding his arm.
Song Changsheng's complexion changed slightly. He didn't notice at all what the other party did.
Zhuang Yuechan and Xu Yunhe, who were not far away, immediately became excited when they saw this scene, ready to fight at any time.
"Senior Drunken Old Man, what other instructions do you have?" Song Changsheng maintained his composure. He knew that panic was useless now, and there was no need to think about resisting. The other party was much stronger than the previous Dong Tianxie, and I'm afraid he was no less generous than Zhan Tianxia. It would be better not to use his little tricks.
The old man said with a smile, "I said, I won't eat you for free."
After that, he waved his hand, and three exquisite wine glasses appeared on the ground. He opened the stopper of Wine Gourd and carefully poured Wine Liquid into them.
The Wine Liquid looks as thick as nectar and has a beautiful amber color, but there is no smell at all, as if it is boiled water.
The old man seemed to value it very much, and only filled a small half of each small wine glass.
"Thank you, senior, for the reward."
Song Changsheng bowed, returned to Zhuang Yuechan with three wine glasses, and gave each of them a glass. However, no one of them dared to put the wine glasses to their mouths. After all, no one knew what was in it and what the consequences would be if they drank it.
The old man no longer paid attention to them. He stretched out his dirty hands and roughly tore off a roasted tiger leg that was sizzling with oil. Then he opened his mouth and started to feast on it.
Not long after, a tiger leg weighing dozens of kilograms entered the old man's belly. The old man wiped his oily hands on his clothes a few times, then raised Wine Gourd and took a few sips, making a satisfied sound.
Then he held the remaining barbecue and began to bite it as if no one was watching. He ate as if he hadn't eaten in hundreds of years.
Song Changsheng and others were holding wine glasses and felt that it was neither right nor wrong to drink. They were in a dilemma.
Soon, most of the tiger monsters were wiped out by the old man. He picked up a piece of grass and picked his teeth. He looked at the three Human Dao with a smile, "What, are you afraid that I will poison you?
Don't worry, if I really plan to deal with you, I don't need to resort to such shameless means as poisoning.
Drink it all, it will be good for where you are going next. "
"Does this person know where we are going next?" Song Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly. This Drunken Old Man's behavior is really confusing.
Perhaps seeing Song Changsheng's inner thoughts, Drunken Old Man said with a smile, "It's not difficult to guess. Here at the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, where else can we go besides Skyfall Valley? Drink it, it's a good thing."
There was a hint of toughness in the old man's tone.
Song Changsheng and the others looked at each other when they heard this, and then they drank the wine in the glass with a sudden change of heart. There was no strange taste. As soon as it was in the mouth, it spread along the esophagus to the whole body, and then quickly disappeared without a trace.
No matter why the other party insists on drinking this glass of wine, they have no room to refuse. With the strength shown by the old man, dealing with them will not be more difficult than squeezing an insect to death.
There were ten thousand ways he could get them to drink this glass of wine.
Seeing them drink the wine, the old man's face suddenly burst into a stronger smile, "Yes, I just want to have a good relationship with you.
By the way, if you find [Heavenly Immortal Grass] in Skyfall Valley, I am willing to buy it at a high price. I will tell you about it later. "
After that, the old man's figure gradually faded, and finally disappeared out of thin air.
Song Changsheng and others quickly sat down cross-legged, intending to use their strength to force Wine Liquid out, but strangely, the wine seemed to have really disappeared, leaving not even a trace.
"Sorry, it was Song who caused trouble for you." Song Changsheng said bitterly, looking at the two of them with eyes full of apology.
"Don't say that, no one would have imagined that such a thing would happen. Besides, that senior Drunken Old Man may not necessarily have malicious intentions." Zhuang Yuechan comforted softly.
"Yes, Brother Song, don't worry."
"To be on the safe side, let's go back to Sunset City and figure out what this wine is first." Song Changsheng raised the wine glass in his hand, with a drop still hanging on the wall.
He left this on purpose.
None of them are proficient in pharmacology, so it is difficult to tell whether there is something fishy about this wine.
But just because they don't understand it doesn't mean that no one understands Sunset City. As long as you have a sample in hand, you can quickly tell whether it's harmful or not, and it's easy to carry out targeted treatment at a good time.
Unexpectedly, his words were rejected by Zhuang Yuechan.
"No. Changsheng, you have more than two months to go to the Hundred Herbs Hall to participate in Pill Appreciation Assembly. If you return to Sunset City at this time, you will miss it.
Pill Appreciation Assembly is a rare event for Great Qi Cultivation World. It is a very rare opportunity for you personally and Song Clan. If you miss it, you will have to wait another thirty years.
This wine has not had any impact on us for the time being, so don't worry. "Zhuang Yuechan advised earnestly.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuang is right. Besides, if that person really has plans for us, he may not let us go back easily.
We've almost rested, so let's go back as soon as possible. "
Hearing this, Song Changsheng was moved, and immediately stopped being coy, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to Skyfall Valley as soon as possible."
After a few people left, the old man's figure appeared again. While drinking a small drink, he muttered inarticulately, "Why... Gudong Gudong... don't you just hand it over to them... Gudong."
A middle-aged man in white clothes appeared next to him, looked at the direction in which the few people left, and said calmly, "It's just a small test for the younger generations."
Hearing this, the old man's eyes showed a look of interest and said, "Because of that Song Changsheng?
He is still a bit brave, and after my observation and contact along the way, he doesn't seem to be a treacherous person. "
"Hmph, you know people but don't know their hearts. Wasn't it the same for Song Xianming at the beginning?" White-Clothed Man snorted coldly, with deep resentment in his tone.
"Hey, it's your Sunset City's housework anyway, so I won't talk too much, but don't forget the money for the drink today. I haven't given it to anyone who begged Grandfather to sue grandma. I went out for three drinks today, so you have to compensate me." Drunken Old Man stretched out his calloused hand in front of White-Clothed Man and said.
"Don't worry, I won't miss you."
As soon as the words fell, White-Clothed Man disappeared...
Not long after, Song Changsheng and others had arrived at the edge of Skyfall Valley.
It is better to say that it is a valley than a bottomless pit. Looking from top to bottom, the pit is completely shrouded in a layer of white mist.
"Brother Song, this fog is weird. It actually has the effect of isolating Divine Sense." Xu Yunhe said with a frown.
"Well, I'll go down to explore the road first, and then you can come down after making sure it's safe. The situation down there is unknown. If there's anything dangerous, you can help me."
The last half of Song Changsheng's words of persuasion were stuck in Zhuang Yuechan's throat. Originally, she planned to let everyone go down together, but the situation below was unclear and someone really needed to explore the way.
Among them, Song Changsheng is the strongest, and he is the most suitable.
"Okay, please be safe."
Then Zhuang Yuechan took off a fish-shaped piece of Jade Pendant from his waist and put it in Song Changsheng's hand and said, "Since this fog can isolate Divine Sense, communication may also be affected by then. This is Yin Yang Jade Pendant, and they have always been a pair.
If you encounter danger down there, crush it and I can use the other piece to find your location. "
Looking at the Jade Pendant in his hand, Song Changsheng felt warm in his heart. After putting it away properly, he gave her a reassuring look and then jumped into Skyfall Valley.
He soon plunged into the billowing white mist.
But what surprised him was that the white fog looked very thick, but in fact it was only a thin layer. He quickly passed through it successfully. Without the barrier of the white fog, Song Changsheng's eyes suddenly opened up, and the situation inside Skyfall Valley was immediately clear.
Because the sunlight is blocked, it looks very dark inside, but you can still see dense vegetation, but no shadow of Demon Beast has been found yet.
Song Changsheng soon landed smoothly, and Divine Sense spread overwhelmingly.
Then he walked around, not to mention Demon Beast, not even a mosquito. Apart from these living plants, there was no other living thing in this place.
This made Song Changsheng surprised but also quietly relieved. The absence of Demon Beast not only meant that the potential threat was reduced, but also meant that the flesh and blood of Black Dragon Demon King had not yet become a meal.
After confirming that there was no threat, he began to use Communication Compass to deliver messages to Zhuang Yuechan.
After a while, the two of them reached the bottom of the valley with their swords.
"Skyfall Valley is not small. Let's search separately. It will be more efficient." Xu Yunhe suggested.
Song Changsheng thought for a while, but still rejected his proposal. After all, they were in a completely unfamiliar place. If they were to disperse rashly, it would be difficult to support each other if they encountered any danger.
As a result, several people controlled the distance within 300 feet and started a blanket search using Divine Sense.
After searching for nearly three hours, they found nothing. Divine Sense consumed a lot of energy. Just when Song Changsheng was about to take a break, he frowned and suddenly looked in the direction behind him.
"Brother Song, what's wrong?" His abnormality attracted the attention of the two people.
Song Changsheng looked around with vigilance and said, "I just seemed to feel that something was spying on us in the dark!"
