Chapter 229: A bit abnormal Monday Xian

"How many years have I lived?" Zhou Yixian's gaze was filled with a sense of vicissitudes. Looking at the Shenglong Cave in the distance, there was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. "Bound by fate and existing for others, what's the point of living for a long time?"

"It's good enough to be alive. As long as you're alive, there's always a chance!" Lin Xing said casually. He thought to himself, could this old man be thinking of dying? Although he didn't know exactly what was wrong with Zhou Yixian, from their several conversations, he had discovered that this old swindler seemed to be constantly troubled by something.

"Hehe, you're right."

Zhou Yixian turned around and looked at Xiao Huan with a loving gaze, with a trace of reluctance in his expression.

"Xiao Huan, don't eat too many candied hawthorns. If all your teeth fall out, no one will want you in the future!" Zhou Yixian scolded with a smile.

"But Grandpa, my teeth have always been very good. It's you who hasn't eaten candied hawthorns, and you've lost several teeth. So, eating candied hawthorns is actually good for dental health!" Xiao Huan retorted rationally. With a whoosh, she took another suck on the bright red candied hawthorn, looking completely satisfied.

"You little rascal!" Zhou Yixian reached out to grab the candied hawthorn, but Xiao Huan nimbly dodged and ran away.

"Grandpa! You can't catch me! You can't catch me!! Hehe..."

Xiao Huan was like a cheerful fairy, leaping around in the mountains. Her laughter, like the sound of silver bells, filled the air. Zhou Yixian mumbled a few words in annoyance, turned around, and resumed his swindler-like demeanor.

"Regarding the strange changes in the capital city this time, after a series of research, I've come to the conclusion that there's nothing to worry about!"

"...Damn it! With me here to keep watch, of course there's nothing wrong!"

Zhou Yixian smiled and didn't take it to heart. He looked up at the sky, and a carefree aura spread out. Between the real and the illusory, the old man's figure changed, performing a series of mysterious reactions, which made Lin Xing stunned. The old man grinned, seemingly very satisfied with his display.

"Little friend, do you remember the question I asked you before?" Zhou Yixian continued in his swindler-like tone.

Damn it! It's okay for you to pretend to be profound with your Taoist magic, but you're still pretending verbally. I can't stand it! Lin Xing said angrily, "You've asked me so many questions. How the hell do I know which one you're talking about!"

"Ahem, young lad, can you give me some face? After all, I'm a legendary figure."

"A legendary old swindler!" Lin Xing gave him a disdainful look and continued to observe that spatial fluctuation. Unfortunately, due to his limited cultivation level, he had no idea where it was connected from.

Zhou Yixian suddenly fell silent and stared at the sky, seemingly lost in thought.

This swindler is really good at pretending to be profound!

After all, Lin Xing had also dabbled in fortune-telling. So he also put his hands behind his back, shook his head, and put on a haughty look.

Trying to act profound in front of me? You're still far from it!

"Ten years ago, there were strange changes in the world." Zhou Yixian said lightly, looking very vicissitudes.

Lin Xing coughed twice and then said, "Ten thousand years ago, there was a war among ants!"

Zhou Yixian's beard fluttered in anger. "Young lad, I'm talking to you seriously! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Who's talking nonsense? Huh? Who?" Lin Xing looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Zhou Yixian.

Zhou Yixian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "All right, I was wrong this time! But what I'm saying is true! The strange changes in the world ten years ago were really important!"

Lin Xing curled his lips. "Ten years ago, I hadn't —"

Lin Xing was stunned again.

Ten years ago was exactly when he had crossing!

Sure enough! The so-called protagonist always has all kinds of strange phenomena when he makes his appearance! Just like when an ancient emperor was born, there were rays of colorful light, and the whole room was filled with light, and so on!

Damn it! Old man, you probably don't know that I was the one who caused that strange phenomenon! Lin Xing secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Zhou Yixian glanced at Lin Xing and continued, "During the strange changes in the world ten years ago, for a moment, my art of divination failed."

"That's because your skills aren't up to par." Lin Xing muttered.

Zhou Yixian ignored him and continued, "The failure of the art of divination wasn't actually a problem with the divination itself. It was the things that the divination was observing that had a problem."

"Yeah! I think so too." Lin Xing stroked his chin and echoed. In fact, he wasn't thinking about anything at all.

"That is to say, the fate of the entire world underwent a huge change at that moment! Some external thing was powerful enough to affect all things and break all connections in an instant!"

"I also know that —"

Lin Xing suddenly opened his mouth wide.

Damn it! I'm really awesome, but saying that I can affect all things is a bit exaggerated, isn't it? Old man, although your flattery is good, you should also be realistic!

Zhou Yixian took out a thin piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to Lin Xing. "This was entrusted to me by a friend. He said that when I met someone named Lin Xing, I should give it to him."

"Er, why didn't he give it to me himself?" Lin Xing took the paper, full of doubts.

"He's blind. How could he find you!" Zhou Yixian scolded angrily.

Blind? Could it be another swindler? This is a common trick of swindlers! Zhou Yixian is already an expert in swindling, yet he was actually deceived by someone. It's really strange!

This was a strange piece of paper. It was very strange, even though it was just a blank piece of paper...

He turned it over, and a crooked name was written on it: The Grand Shaman Priest.

Lin Xing suddenly exclaimed, "Damn it! Old man, you were really deceived!"

"You're the one who was deceived!" Zhou Yixian scolded. "Remember, don't lose this piece of paper! One day when your art of divination fails, open it, and something unexpected will happen! Maybe, the responsibility of saving the world will be entrusted to you!"

Zhou Yixian's expression was very much like that of a swindler.

Lin Xing casually threw it into his Kaleidoscope Space. Tsk, the art of divination failing? With my connection laws of two worlds, how could it fail? As for saving the world? Do I look stupid? Only a fool would do something that's thankless!

"Also, keep this thing for me. Remember, don't open it." Zhou Yixian waved his sleeve, and a strange gourd popped out. Lin Xing guessed that this was probably the magic of hiding the universe in one's sleeve, the same magic that that strange uncle could also use.

Lin Xing quickly put it away. The things given by the old man couldn't be bad.

"Since you've received the inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor, you should know how powerful the Asura is. I'll just be straightforward. Sealed inside that gourd is the soul of the Asura. Remember, after the great formation is completed, you must destroy it completely!"

Zhou Yixian's expression was more serious than ever before.

Lin Xing was also startled by the old man's tone, and then he said, "Don't worry, old man. Leave it to me!"

"There's one last thing I want to ask you to take care of for me."

"All right! Old man, what's our relationship! Just take out whatever treasure it is. I won't mind! Of course, it would be even better if you could give me some cultivation methods as a bonus!" Lin Xing said excitedly. The old man Zhou seemed very abnormal today. Someone who is usually stingy is actually giving things away generously. Strange!

Zhou Yixian smiled faintly and looked at Xiao Huan in the distance, who was chasing after a butterfly. With a hint of reluctance, he said, "Xiao Huan, I'm entrusting her to you!"

He turned his head, and Zhou Yixian's expression was extremely serious!

Er, Lin Xing was stunned. It wasn't a treasure?
