"Um!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly and looked carefully at the old man who was right in front of him but gave people the feeling that he was far away in the sky.

The old man now gives him a different feeling than before. Although the old man looks dull, he feels that his breath is a little unstable.

Maybe it’s because he shares the same soul with the spirit beast tiger?

"Keep the tomb?"

"This reason is too far-fetched!"

Jianyu shook her head. It was not that she didn't believe in this old man, but because there were any gravekeepers in modern society?

Even in her world, there is no such loyal person. The point is that this old man's strength should be stronger than Ye Chen, and that spirit beast is definitely his.

“…”

The old man didn't explain, but just smiled faintly. He was both tombkeepers and there was no need to explain anything to Jianyu, not to mention that with Jianyu's strength, he didn't bother to explain.

"I dare to ask, are there any medicinal materials in the mountains and forests from the previous year?"

The old man did not explain, and Ye Chen would not ask. Although he was very curious, the purpose of coming to the mountains was to find medicinal materials, rather than to get involved with the old man.

As for the identity of the old man and whoever guards the tomb, you can get it if you can get it, and you can't get it if you can't.

"There are five hundred years of Ganoderma lucidum, seven hundred years of seven-leaf fruit, and thousands of years of Xuanling grass..."

The old man smiled and said very plainly, as if these things were like an ordinary weed in the forest to him.

“…”

Ye Chen didn't feel much, and Jian Yu Sheng Xueqing had a glimmer of color on her face. These are definitely the best spiritual medicines...

"If what he said is true, it's all good things..."

The old man's soul in Ye Chen's mind spoke up again.

“I don’t know how to trade?”

Ye Chen nodded slightly and said lightly, these things are good things, but they don’t know where they are.

"trade?"

The old man shook his head: "No trade!"

"These are planted by the emperor before his death. Although they are useless to the old man, they are also a kind of memory..."

“…”

When Ye Chen heard the old man’s explanation, he was shocked. What does it mean?

Planted by the emperor before his death?

This information is a bit large. Even the shortest Ganoderma lucidum in that year has been around for five hundred years. In other words, the emperor has been dead for at least five hundred years?

In other words, this old man has been guarding the tomb for five hundred years?

How is that possible?

"But, if you want, you have to agree to a condition..."

“What conditions?”

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. To be honest, if this guy was really an old monster who had lived for more than 500 years, his conditions would definitely not be simple.

"Help me clean the tomb!"

The old man sighed slightly: "No one has cleaned the emperor's tomb for hundreds of years, and I don't know if it's dirty..."

"Aren't you a gravekeeper? Why don't you clean?"

Ye Chen questioned. Although he didn't know the rules of keeping the tomb, the job of sweeping the tomb should be the responsibility of the tomb guardian, right?

Is there something weird under the tomb?

"I naturally want to clean it, but I can't move. I'm fine. I've said everything I should say. If you want medicinal materials, go and sweep the graves. If you don't want it, leave!"

Because of Ye Chen's problem, the old man seemed a little impatient and turned his back directly.

"Do you want to go and have a look?"

Ye Chen asked the soul in his mind. When he heard the old man’s request, his first reaction was to refuse, because he always felt that there was something strange under the tomb.

But if you want to refine elixirs, you must find medicinal materials...

Ye Chen felt that if he missed this opportunity, he didn’t know how long he would have to wait next time.

"You make the decision, I have never heard of such a thing!" However, the soul in his mind did not give him a clear answer.

Sheng Xueqing Jianyu and the others looked at him at the same time, subconsciously, both of them felt that they should not go to the tomb.

Maybe this is the old man's trick...

You know, the emperor's tomb is full of crises...

"Go, go and have a look..."

Ye Chen pondered for a long time and made a decision. Although he had the skills in the ring, it was no longer difficult to let Lin Ya, Ye Feier and others practice.

But, alchemy is always necessary...

Even if there is danger, isn’t there any Xuanying given by Master?

"You two..."

After making a decision, Ye Chen was about to let Jian Yu, Sheng, Xueqing and the others stay here, but when he thought of the spirit beast, tiger, he gave up this idea.

It would be better to let the two follow you safely...

call!

The next moment, the three of them felt a dazed moment. The feeling was like jumping down from the cliff next to Chilei Pavilion. They must have entered the space where the old man was.

Here, weeds are overgrown and thorns are densely packed with thorns. The first feeling is desolate and primitive...

Looking at the situation here, it is very similar to the mountains outside, but I always feel a little weird, as if it is not the same era.

This is a mountain, not particularly large. An old man sat cross-legged beside the mountain. Judging from his appearance, this old man is the old man of the trendy spirit beast.

Not far from the old man, there was an imperial tomb. Perhaps because of his disrepair, he could only vaguely see the magnificence of the imperial tomb.

“No one has come for a long time…”

The old man sat still and didn't even raise his eyelids, but he sighed in his body.

“Huh?”

The soul in Ye Chen's mind let out a sensation: "This is..."

“So cruel…”

"What's the meaning?"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't notice anything unusual. The old man was lifelike and had some aura on his body. He should be a living creature.

"No wonder I can survive for so many years..."

The soul in his mind shook his head: "This is an ancient secret technique, it is considered a kind of immortality, but this is particularly cruel."

“Tell me…”

"This secret method is called seed spirit. It uses the human body as the foundation to plant the soul. This world will never fade, the body will not lose its nutrition, and the soul will not dissipate!"

"To put it bluntly, it means treating people as trees. Although they have survived for a long time, they can only survive in the form of a tree stump. Only the soul can move. Even so, the soul cannot leave for too long."

"this……"

Hearing the explanation of the soul in his mind, Ye Chen was slightly shocked and shook his head. What is the purpose of such immortality?

He sighed heavily, walked to the old man and bowed respectfully. No matter what, the old man was a loyal and righteous man, who stayed alone by the imperial tomb to protect him for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Even so, he still wanted to exchange medicinal materials for himself to visit the grave. It was not that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't do it.

Although such a person is pitiful, he is worthy of respect!

Of course, no matter how respect is, Ye Chen should be careful. After all, he had attacked Sheng Xueqing before, and it was obvious that Sheng Xueqing's special physique would be helpful to him.
