Fantasy: The Empress Betrayed, I Backhandedly Choose the System

Hearing Wen Lingyu's voice, the person whose back was turned to them turned around.

Ji Chen looked over by the light of the fire, he was a kind old man.

During the festival before, Ji Chen had seen this old man from a distance.On the outside, he looks similar to the holy aunt in age, but his body is much better than her.

His back is straight, and he walks like flying, coupled with the extraordinary temperament of the whole person, it can be seen from his appearance that his cultivation base is definitely not low.

Seeing Wen Lingyu and Wen Lingyu, the old man stroked his beard with a smile. Instead of answering Wen Lingyu's question, he asked instead: "Lingyu, didn't I tell you not to come here? Why are you still here?" Into the cave."

Wen Lingyu's cheeks flushed, she didn't expect this result.

The whole person was cramped and nervous, and she said: "Grandpa, I remember what you told me, and I didn't expect to come here. But my little apprentice felt that someone had entered the cave, and I was afraid it was a thief who was stealing things." , I am worried that the sacred artifacts of our spirit clan will be taken away by others, so I can only come and have a look..."

At the end of Wen Lingyu's speech, her voice became small and full of anxiety.

Her originally thin body was huddled together, which looked extremely pitiful.

She worried that the patriarch would reprimand her.

But she didn't expect that after hearing her reasons, the patriarch laughed and said: "Our Lingyu has grown up and knows how to take the initiative to protect the things in the clan. This is a good thing, of course I won't Tell me, why are you afraid?"

Wen Lingyu blinked: "But... Grandpa was the one who told me not to get close to this cave..."

"It is true that I have said such things. If it is a normal time, it is true that you can't get close." The patriarch said with a smile: "But now it is a special situation. This time the person who came in is me, of course there will be no problem. But if It’s really a thief who came in, isn’t our holy artifact very dangerous? Lingyu, you did the right thing, and you will have to do the same in the future.”

Wen Lingyu's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.

The patriarch cast another glance at Ji Chen who was following her, thought for a while and said, "Lingyu, the apprentice you mentioned feeling the breath just now should be this kid, right?"

Wen Lingyu hurriedly responded: "That's right, I told you about his existence. He..."

"I know," the patriarch interrupted with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I promised you to let him stay before, and I won't drive him away now. I just want to tell you, if you are arranging this The kid guards this place, so he can pay more attention in the future. I am the one who came in, so there is no need for you to make such a big fuss."

Wen Lingyu was a little puzzled: "Grandpa, do you still come here often?"

"Yes," the patriarch said with a smile: "Otherwise, do you think that our sacred artifacts are placed here without any maintenance? I used to come here often, and most of the time I just helped it maintain it. It won't be too long, but I will come often. You will definitely feel my breath in the future, this is a normal thing, you don't have to worry."

Wen Lingyu scratched her head, and said with a embarrassed smile: "I've never felt it before, and I thought you don't go up the mountain very much, Grandpa."

"That's because your cultivation base was not enough before, but when your cultivation base increases in the future, you will often notice it." The old patriarch smiled and said no more.

He turned around, and once again faced the holy artifact in the middle of the clearing.After thinking about it, he turned back and said to the two of them: "But since you have come this time, let's come and have a look together. This is the holy artifact that our spirit clan has hidden for so many years. Look, How beautiful it is!"

Hearing what he said, Ji Chen and Wen Lingyu moved over curiously.

Just like the rumors outside, it was really a broad epee.

The blade is very long, and the blades on both sides are also very sharp.Patterns Ji Chen couldn't understand were drawn on the thick sword, he stared at it for a while, then turned to Wen Lingyu beside him and asked, "Master, what are the patterns on it?"

Wen Lingyu shook her head.

This is also the first time she has seen this sword, and of course she will not know what the paintings on it mean.

On the contrary, the patriarch at the side explained with a smile: "This is an ancient spell. It is said that it can suck human blood and make the sword sharper. But no one knows whether it is true or not. Take it as a scare Just listen to children's jokes."

Wen Lingyu has always practiced those open and clean exercises. After hearing what he said, when she looked at the sword again, she also felt that there was some indescribable evil in the patterns.She took a step back subconsciously, and there was already a little fear on her face.

Ji Chen was somewhat interested.

A sword that sucks human blood, isn't that somewhat similar to when his devil blood attack?

But his interest is just to take a second look.Ji Chen knew that this thing was a holy artifact of the Spirit Race, so he didn't intend to touch it, and he didn't even think about getting close to it.

But after staring there for a while, he really found some problems.

It's not about the sword, it's about the patriarch of the Spirit Race.

He looked at the long sword beside him, and his eyes were filled with madness and fiery emotions.The emotion was so intense that Ji Chen felt a little shocked and couldn't help frowning.

He didn't say anything, and the patriarch didn't explain any more.

Wen Lingyu is very sensible, she waved to Ji Chen, pointed outside and said: "Ji Chen, since there is nothing wrong here, we should leave. Remember what Grandpa said, if it is Grandpa's breath in the future Come closer, let's not come here."

Ji Chen nodded to show that he remembered it in his heart.

When the two left the cave, Ji Chen glanced back, he still frowned a little uneasy, and said to Wen Lingyu beside him: "Master, I have actually kept the devilish energy outside this cave for a long time. I didn't feel anyone approaching, and today was the first time."

Wen Lingyu thought for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "You want to tell me that this is also the first time for the patriarch grandpa to come?"

Ji Chen said: "I don't know either, it's just that the way he looked at the sword just now made me feel a little scary. So I want to tell you about it, there is no other meaning."

Wen Lingyu nodded.

After thinking about it for a while, she finally laughed again and said, "I think you are thinking too much, little apprentice. Grandpa patriarch is the best person! No matter what he does, he must have his reasons. Listen to him It’s fine, don’t think too much about it!”

Don't think too much about it?
Ji Chen was a little puzzled.

But looking at Wen Lingyu's appearance, he thought about it, and finally smiled and said: "Okay, I will listen to Master."

On the surface, he could indeed listen to Wen Lingyu, no matter what happened around him or what the people around him were thinking, he could act kindly and pretend he didn't know anything.

But secretly, he still needs to know the situation. After all, if these people set their minds on Wen Lingyu, he must not sit idly by.

For a period of time after that, the surroundings became much quieter.

Ji Chen meditates every day, and occasionally chats with the surrounding plants and asks them about the situation down the mountain or in the cave.

According to Cao Mu, the last time they saw the patriarch in the cave was indeed the first time he entered the cave.

Ji Chen stroked his chin thoughtfully: "But what is he going into the cave for?"

The surrounding flowers and plants swayed twice, and quickly gave him the answer: "Of course I'm looking for the holy artifact!"

"Isn't this a matter of course? Ji Chen, let me tell you, the old patriarch is about to die! His cultivation has reached a bottleneck. If he doesn't break through, he will die in two years. He is so anxious!"

Ji Chen suddenly understood: "So he wants to rely on the Holy Artifact of the Spirit Race to improve his cultivation and help him break through the bottleneck?"

"Yes, this method is indeed applicable and has a chance of success. So recently, he often ran into that cave!"

Ji Chen was still a little apprehensive, so he confirmed it and said, "It shouldn't be a problem if you just use the holy weapon to increase your cultivation, right?"

"If it's just like this, of course there is no problem!"

"But I've heard some bad rumors about that holy artifact! Grandpa Dashu, you told us this, so tell Ji Chen too!"

"This... well, that was a long time ago. It is said that the sword soul of this sword is not good enough. If it is used by ordinary people, it will not be long before the sword swallows up their minds. So the original patriarch, That's why I sealed this sword in this cave. But if it's true or not, I don't know..."

"Being devoured by sanity..."

"That sounds scary..."
