If this old man is a guardian of the mountain and he is guarding the Qiu family, then Luo Yongchang and others should not be allowed to leave.

The purpose of their coming is obvious, it is precisely to go to Qiuxia Mountain Qiujia, to seize the secret realm key blood-drinking dagger.

But he only guards the rules of the barren village!

When Wang Ye recovered from his contemplation, the old man in the village had disappeared without a trace, and a sharp gaze was staring at him behind him.

Turning his head to look, a few meters away, it was Luo Yongchang and others.

"Wang Ye, aren't you going to Qiuxia Mountain? Don't you want to get rid of my thorny eye? Come!" Luo Yongchang shouted provocatively.

The five assassins behind him were already ready to move, and they would rush forward as long as Wang Ye left the village.

"Wang Ye, you and I can compete with you!"

"Look at Lao Tzu not killing you! What a special one!"

"Kill you, I will take good care of those two chicks! Hey..."

...

The five people also sneered and provoked one after another.

"stupid guy!"

Facing their provocation, Wang Ye just faintly replied two words, and then turned his head to look at Cai Yingxin and Liu Ruyan with a smile.

Cai Yingxin whispered: "Then Luo Yongchang should have the nine-fold cultivation base of Huaqi, strong and invincible!"

"As for the five dogs, don't take it to heart." Liu Ruyan said.

Since learning about the classification of ancient martial arts, Wang Ye also has a scale in his heart. His current strength should be in Huaqi Sixth.

But coupled with the various magic weapons presented by the system, although he can't resist Luo Yongchang, he still has the ability to contain him.

There is a mountain col between Barren Ridge and Qiuxia Mountain, where thunder and lightning are densely known as a minefield, which is a natural barrier of Qiuxia Mountain, and the minefield is the best place for Wang Ye to start.

However, to go to the minefield, you must break through the blockade of Luo Yongchang and others at this time.

Not urgent!

Wang Ye knew that as long as he was still here, Luo Yongchang would look like a vicious dog, staring at him.

Anyway, as long as he was in a barren village and there was the old man, he would not dare to do it here if Luo Yongchang gave him ten courage. The old man's strength is unfathomable.

Luo Yongchang, standing with his hand in his hand, provocatively said: "Why, Wang Ye! You will only be a turtle now?"

"Then come here!" Wang Ye replied casually.

"You come out there!" Luo Yongchang shouted.

"Come on here!"

...

They clashed with each other, but no one dared to take a step.

Leaving the village will be attacked by Luo Yongchang and others. If they enter the village, if Luo Yongchang and others take action, they will be killed on the spot just like the person last night.

"Why scold the street like a shrew, don't kill him!"

Wang Ye said with a smirk, then turned and walked towards the village, "Xingxin, you two are staring at that vicious dog, I'll beg for a glass of water!"

"Ok!"

The two nodded and stood on the edge of the village entrance.

Seeing Wang Ye swaggering away, Luo Yongchang's face was pale but helpless.

There are rules in the barren village, and no hands are allowed in the village. Luo Yongchang, who is terrible and tough, knew very well in his heart.

When he returned to the village, Wang Ye knocked on the door of the room.

In an earthen house, the old man was sitting on an old stool, and the old man's eyes were clearly closed between the broken doors and windows.

Hearing a knock on the door, when the old man tried to get up, Wang Ye shouted outside the door: "Old gentleman, there is no need to get up, can I go in?"

"of course can."

If you don't look at the old man's appearance, just listening to this voice will give people a very easygoing, even kindness.

But his messy long hair and wrinkled, dry cheeks gave people an extremely gloomy feeling.

Opening the door and walking in, Wang Ye looked at the room, and everything in front of him made him feel creepy.

The room was very rudimentary. The old tables and chairs were covered with a layer of dust. Only the stool where the old man was sitting was spotless. Not only that, but also three bones. The complete bones lay flat in the corner of the house. The clothes have weathered over time.

"Young man, please sit down." The old man pointed to the stool in front of him.

The stool was covered with dust, Wang Ye didn't seem to see it, so he sat down like that.

"Why are you back again?" the old man raised his head and asked.

Wang Ye nodded and smiled, "There is a strong enemy outside the village. The juniors will stay here for a while."

The old man smiled when he heard the words, his smile looked a little gloomy, and Wang Ye looked unnatural with his profound eyes.

He estimated that the strength of this old man was at least breaking the mirror, because only by reaching the breaking mirror could he not eat anything.

Sitting opposite each other, silent for a moment, the old man actually took the initiative to speak: "With your strength, even if you leave the village, it is easy to get rid of them! This time, I am afraid that I am not returning for refuge, but for me. Don't you have doubts about the old bones?"

Wang Ye's heart trembled, and the old man made it clear.

That being the case, he didn't need to conceal it anymore, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am very curious about the old gentleman! I don't know what the old gentleman is called?"

"Name?" The old man was lost in thought, and shook his head in confusion after a long time, "I, forgot."

"forget?"

Wang Ye frowned and looked at him slightly. The old man didn't seem to be telling lies, it was more like staying alone for a long time, forgetting his name and identity.

"Since the old gentleman has forgotten his name, why should he stay in this village?"

"Some things are more important than names."

"Is it a promise?" Wang Ye asked.

"Well, it's a promise!" The old man nodded, and continued: "Trust and promise are far more important than life and death. There are more than 100 households in Barren Village, even if they die, they must keep their promises and stay here to guard this place!"

What he said, Wang Ye had seen, it was the corpses in those rooms.

"Then the old gentleman can tell me, what promise are you keeping?" Wang Ye asked politely.

The old man did not have any rejection, he said very easy-going: "Back then I promised to stay in the village forever and never step out of the barren village!"

"Promise to whom?"

"Autumn...Autumn..." The old man's wrinkled cheeks twitched, but he couldn't remember the name of the man back then.

But the word autumn is enough to show that that person should be Qiuxiashan Qiu's family back then.

Wang Ye's heart trembled fiercely at this moment. The old man even forgot the name of the person he had promised back then, and even his own name, but he kept sticking to his promise to that person and staying in the barren village.

"I really forgot the name." The old man lifted up the long hair that covered his cheeks. He looked at Wang Ye and said: "But I remember that he said that it is okay to pay back the kindness, as long as the life is worth the money. Qiu’s family will do."

It really is the Qiu family!

Wang Ye got up and saluted the old man respectfully.

This is a person who admires him so much. He has extremely strong strength, but he has been guarding him alone for so many years, just for a promise that year.

Even if this promise has deteriorated, it has become an insurmountable hurdle in the old man's heart.

Perhaps back then, the Qiu family's strong man made him promise to guard the Qiuxia Mountain as a barrier, but with the passage of time, what the old man guarded became this deserted village.

"Sir, I will try to make you fulfill your promises and be free!"

After Wang Ye said, he turned and walked outside the house.

"Freedom?" the old man murmured.
