Chapter 221 The Old Boy
The old man called the High Priest said something in his hoarse voice.
Maybe it's a divination spell, maybe it has no meaning, maybe even you can't understand it, but it's just something to add to the coolness.
His hands, which looked extremely stiff and bony, would move from time to time, making crackling sounds.
Then, the eyes within his robe began to surge with gray light, like two gray whirlpools!
He seemed to see something through the gray .
The old man did not try to use the Dao beads to divine directly, because the Dao beads were not something he could divine with.
The Taoist beads were too special, even he couldn't tell fortunes with them.
In fact, once the altar is completed, the power of the Taoist beads will be integrated into the altar, and the Taoist beads will become ordinary beads.
But the key is that the altar has not yet been fully formed, and this Taoist bead still contains power!
The old man in black robe began to divine based on the details he had previously deduced.
In addition, the truth was concealed before, and it was not until after Bai Beiqiu's death that he learned that a key to the entrance to the altar in the Sanqian Mountain area was lost.
Following this line of thought, he tried to divine who would get the key.
If you can't use the beads for divination, then use the keys for divination.
As the divination progressed, he developed more and more wrinkles on his body, and the age spots on his hands also increased significantly. He was already a bit skinny, and now he looked like a skeleton.
In the dim light, he saw the mountains within the Three Thousand Mountains, saw the sect with the three big characters "Tianque Sect" written on it, and then saw the leader of Tianque Sect, the very short Mo Beihe.
Everything is still relatively clear, like seeing flowers in the fog, but I can get a general idea.
Then, he saw Mo Beihe handing the key to someone else with a smile on his face.
It was different from when he was observing Mo Beihe. If Mo Beihe only had a layer of fog on his body, then this person was blurred.
It’s still a very thick layer of mosaic!
The old man tried to see it more clearly, muttered something again, and blood slowly flowed out from the corners of his mouth.
Just when he thought he was about to succeed, the scene before his eyes shattered, and instead he saw a pair of calm eyes in an endless void.
The pair of eyes just glanced at him and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The movement of his hands stopped immediately, and all the bones in his ten fingers were broken!
He immediately quit divination.
The old man's back became more and more hunched, and he was half-lying on the ground, breathing weakly.
The strong man rushed forward to support him, with a look of panic on his face.
"Master Priest!" he asked with concern.
He checked on the old man's condition and found that his vitality was severely depleted.
The old man looked up weakly and glanced at him.
The two looked at each other, and the sturdy man's hands that were supporting the old man couldn't help but tremble.
The eyes of the priest are said to be able to see through everything.
And now, his left eye...
——Blind!
…
…
The strong man couldn't imagine what the high priest had seen that caused him to suffer such a severe backlash!
The high priest looks like an octogenarian, but he is actually less than 20 years old!
A man of this age should be a handsome young man.
The sturdy man thought about it and realized that when he was this age, his mind was still full of women.
But divination comes at a price. Overdrawing your life over and over again will eventually cause great impact on your body.
What worried the strong man the most was that the priest's body was shaking instinctively.
He seemed to be in great torment and endured great fear!
What on earth did he see!?
After a long time, the priest calmed down. He said in a hoarse voice: "Liu Ying, help me wipe the blood from the corner of my mouth. My hand is broken, hehe."
"Even in this situation, you are still in a mood to laugh. The High Priest is indeed the most open-minded person I have ever met." He said in his heart.
The sturdy man named Liu Ying quickly took out a black handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of the priest's mouth.
"Cough cough cough... It's okay, I won't die for the time being." The high priest opened his right eye and glanced at the surrounding Mo Hai Dao.
Liu Ying knew very well that the High Priest didn't have much time left and he only had a few years left to live.
After arriving on this continent , the High Priest saw the sea called the Ink Sea and never went ashore again.
He knew the reason very well, because this boy, who was not even twenty years old, loved the sea.
The first time he saw the Ink Sea, he fell in love with it.
So he always wanders on this sea.
After all, I can't watch it for much longer.
Although Liu Ying was much older than the boy and had great strength, and could easily kill the boy, he was willing to accept the call of "Master Sacrifice".
Liu Ying sighed in his heart, but because of his duty, he had to ask: "Master Priest, what did you see?"
The old-looking young man shook his head and did not speak directly. Instead, he said: "Liu Ying, I got some clues, but they are not specific."
He continued, "I can tell you where the clue is, but this journey may be very dangerous, so you should be careful."
"Okay, Liu Ying has remembered it. Please speak, Master Priest!" said the sturdy man Liu Ying.
The priest looked into the distance and said, "It's not too far from here. The clue is in Sanqian Mountain, in a place called Tianque Gate."
"The key was originally obtained by Tianquemen, but they gave it to someone."
"Who?" Liu Ying asked.
"I don't know." The high priest shook his head.
Willow Eagle fell silent.
He could guess that something went wrong when fortune-telling for this person.
"Who on earth is this person who could bring such a serious backlash to the High Priest?" In Liu Ying's heart, he infinitely overestimated this man's strength.
I think he should be a powerful person in Tianchen Continent.
It is very likely that they are the people standing at the highest point!
The high priest looked at Liu Ying and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times.
During the divination process, the pair of calm eyes that suddenly appeared were like engraved in his mind, lingering like a nightmare!
He knew very well that although Liu Ying was strong, he would never be a match for this man.
However, Tianque Gate should not be too difficult a problem.
He looked at Liu Ying and said, "Your mission this time is to go to Tianque Gate to investigate for clues. That's all. Don't go too deep or further. Remember this!"
He emphasized the word "keep in mind".
Liu Ying nodded vigorously to show that he remembered it.
Before leaving here, Liu Ying looked at the big snake in the water and said, "Protect the priest well."
The snake blinked, as if in response.
Willow Hawk leaped up and landed back on Black Hawk's back.
Before flying away, Willow Eagle looked at the person on the snake and said, "Master Priest, take care of yourself."
The high priest raised his head and looked at Liu Ying with his right eye. The strong wind from the sea blew his black robe back, revealing part of his face.
He really looked like an octogenarian, with one eye blind and his face extremely pale, as if he had no blood in it.
He was so thin that his cheeks were sunken.
However, his only remaining right eye was not as cloudy as the old man's eyes.
It is clear and bright, and seems to always hold hope!
Liu Ying had never seen such clear eyes in anyone.
"As long as you're not dying, that's fine." The high priest smiled and responded to Liu Ying, very optimistic and open-minded.
The old young man with completely white hair stamped his feet lightly, signaling the big snake to move.
When the big snake swam, it stirred up waves.
Although the pale boy was very weak, he still had a smile on his face, his eyes were clear, and he blew a melodious whistle.
