　　”Who？”
　　When Ye Qiu and the Long Eyebrow True Man heard the footsteps, they both turned their heads at the same time.
　　Soon, a slovenly old man appeared in their line of sight.
The old man was very old. The wrinkles on his face were like shriveled tree bark. His hair was extremely dry and without any luster. The gray long shirt on his body was tattered and torn. From a long distance away, a strong sour smell could be smelled, making people feel nauseous for a while.
The old man was not wearing shoes on his feet. His feet were bare and black, like dry firewood.
　　All these were still relatively normal.
　　What was abnormal was that there was a stone sword inserted on the top of the old man’s head.
The sword was three feet long. Among them, one foot of the sword tip was inserted straight into the old man’s celestial spirit cover.
　　In addition, a very thick chain was tied around his whole body, looking like a prisoner who had committed a serious crime.
　　The Long Eyebrow True Man said in a low voice： “This old man is not simple！”
　　”Nonsense. With a sword inserted in the celestial spirit cover and still able to move freely, can this be simple？”
Ye Qiu stared at the old man and look at him for a while. He couldn’t see the old man’s cultivation level and said in a low voice: “Old thing, do you think this old man could be a survivor of Shushan?”
　　”It’s hard to say.” The Long Eyebrow True Man said： “How about I go up and ask？”
　　”Go ahead, be careful.” Ye Qiu said.
　　The Long Eyebrow True Man’s eyes widened： “Why don’t you go？”
　　”Didn’t you say you wanted to go and ask yourself？” Ye Qiu then said： “Moreover, there should be common topics between you and him.”
Upon hearing this, the Long-browed True Man looked very unhappy. Do you mean that I’m as sloppy as him?
　　Ye Qiu smiled and said, “That’s not the case. I mean that you and he are both old geezers.”
“A dog’s mouth can’t spit out ivory.’ The Long-browed True Man glared at Ye Qiu, strode forward, and came to the old man’s. He said politely, “This old fellow, why are you here?” Are you from Mount Shu?
“Dead, dead…” The old man’s eyes were hollow and lifeless, just like a walking corpse.
The Long-browed True Man said again, “Old fellow, I’m asking you, what has Mount Shu? Why are there three thousand graves mounds here?
　　The old man muttered, “Dead, dead…
　　What’s　the　situation？
　　Could this old man have a problem with his brain？
The Long-browed True Man didn’t give up and continued to ask, “Old fellow, I’m from Mount Longhu, and my name is Long-browed…
　　Before the Long-browed True Man could finish speaking, the old man said, “Dead, dead.
　　You’re the one who’s dead！
The Long-browed True Man made fun of ed in his heart and returned to Ye Qiu’s side. He said, “This old fellow has a problem with his brain and can’t ask anything.
Ye Qiu also noticed that the old man was delirious and sighed, “Forget it, let’s still look for the dragon vein!
　　The Long-browed True Man hesitated for a moment and said, “Little brat, there’s a sentence that I don’t know if I should say or not.
　　Ye Qiu was a little annoyed. “Old thing, when did you become so wishy-washy？ Spit it out if you have something to say.”
　　Only then did the Long-browed True Man say, “The place where there is a dragon vein is a geomantic treasure land, and a geomantic treasure land can nurture outstanding people.”
　　In other words, if there is a dragon vein in Mount Shu, then Mount Shu cannot decline to this extent.”
　　I’m not trying to pour cold water on you, but I think this trip is in vain for us.”
　　Ye Qiu frowned and said, “If there is no dragon vein in Mount Shu, then why did my grandmaster ask me to come to Mount Shu？ My grandmaster wouldn’t lie to me, would he？”
　　The Long-browed True Man said, “The Purple Yang Celestial Venerable is a generation of highly accomplished people. I dare not guess his intention. However, I think that since the Purple Yang Celestial Venerable asked you to come to Mount Shu, perhaps there is a chance for you here.”
　　Ye Qiu was even more confused. What kind of chance could there be in a wiped-out sect？
　　Seeing Ye Qiu frowning, the Long-browed True Man said, “Little brat, I’m just guessing. Don’t think too much about it. Anyway, we have already come here. Let’s continue walking and have a look.”
　　Although Mount Shu has been wiped out, it was once extremely glorious.”
　　Presumably, there should be a lot of good things left here.”
　　Immediately, the two continued to move forward.
　　Ye Qiu would look back at that old man from time to time. Suddenly, Ye Qiu turned around and went back.
　　Little brat, where are you going？” the Long-browed True Man asked.
　　Ye Qiu didn’t say anything. With a few quick steps, he came to the front of that old man.
　　”Senior, your blood and qi are withered and your lifespan is about to end. I hope this can help you.”
　　Ye Qiu quickly picked a leaf of the Golden Saint Tree from the Qiankun Cauldron and stuffed it into the old man’s mouth, then left.
　　”Little brat, what did you feed him？” the Long-browed True Man asked curiously.
　　”What’s wrong？” Ye Qiu asked rhetorically.
　　The Long-browed True Man laughed and said, “Can you give me a few pieces to eat too？ I don’t mean anything else, just want to taste the taste.”
　　Ye Qiu said, “Wait until your blood and qi are withered！”
　　The Long-browed True Man pouted and said, “Stingy.”
　　Ye Qiu looked back at the old man again and saw that the old man’s body was stiff and he walked slowly, like a lonely soul and wild ghost.
　　”I don’t know who this old man is and what happened to him. He looks very pitiful.” Ye Qiu said sympathetically.
　　The Long-browed True Man said, “Little brat, in my opinion, you shouldn’t have helped him.”
　　”Look at his appearance, he is so miserable. Death is instead a relief for him.”
　　”Continuing to live is simply a kind of torture for him.”
　　Alas！
　　Ye Qiu let out a long sigh and followed behind the Long-browed True Man, quickly passing through the grave mounds.
　　Soon.
　　In their line of sight, a large-scale building appeared.
　　These buildings were in a state of disrepair, with broken walls and ruins, and there were also traces of being burned by fire. There were spider webs everywhere. It could be seen that this place was once extremely glorious.
The Long-Browed True Man casually picked up a charred wooden stake from the ground, pinch it in his hand sniffed it with his nose, and finally, took a hard bite.
　　Crack！
　　The wood was extremely hard, and the Long-Browed True Man almost lost his teeth.
　　”Old thing, what are you doing？” Ye Qiu asked. “Starved crazy？”
　　The Long-Browed True Man said excitedly, “Little brat, guess what this piece of wood is？”
　　Ye Qiu blurted out, “Golden-thread nanmu.”
　　”How do you know？” The Long-Browed True Man’s face was full of surprise, and then he scolded furiously, “Damn it, you saw it but didn’t tell me, causing me to almost bite off my teeth.”
　　Ye Qiu couldn’t help but laugh. “Who knew you would bite it with your teeth？”
　　”Hmph, I don’t care. Anyway, when the time comes, you have to help me transport all the wood here away.”
　　The Long-Browed True Man said, “Our Dragon Tiger Mountain is being rebuilt, and these golden-thread nanmu can just come in handy.”
　　Ye Qiu ignored the Long-Browed True Man, stepped over that area of buildings, and came to the front of a mountain peak.
　　This mountain peak was as thick as a great mountain, about a thousand meters high. There was not a blade of grass on the mountain body, and it was as straight as a sword.
　　Ye Qiu looked up and found that there were four blood-red big characters engraved on the mountain body——
　　Forbidden Area of Mount Shu！
