Chapter 1548 Former Martial Saint

The answer of the old man in white robe made Ji Tianxing frown slightly.

"you know me?"

The old man in white robe shook his head lightly, and said with a smile: "Of course I don't know you, today is the first time I see you.

However, half a month ago, the Great Protector greeted the old man and mentioned your name and deeds. "

Ji Tianxing was puzzled, so he asked, "May I ask who you are?"

The white-robed old man stroked his beard and said kindly: "My surname is Hong, and my name is Chengtian. I was appointed by the God Lord to guard the Haotian Tower.

Now that the old man is getting old, he has resigned from office and stayed in this Tiansheng Palace to enjoy his old age. "

Hong Chengtian's tone was calm and indifferent, and his expression was quite free and easy.

Just by his demeanor and appearance, we can see his open-mindedness and broad-mindedness.

But Ji Tianxing's complexion changed slightly after hearing his words, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Hong Chengtian? You are the last great protector, and now you are in charge of the three protectors of Tiansheng Palace?"

Hong Chengtian also looked at him in surprise, and said with a light smile, "You kid, you actually know about this old man's past? Lin Daoyi didn't tell you, did he?"

Ji Tianxing shook his head and explained: "Shen Envoy Lin didn't mention your deeds. I saw it in the collection of Shenshu Pavilion."

In Shenshu Pavilion before, he read more than 300,000 books in order to quickly understand the situation in Shenwu Continent.

Coincidentally, Hong Chengtian was mentioned in dozens of books.

Thousands of years ago, Hong Chengtian was also a martial sage who shocked the world.

He was highly regarded by God Lord Taihao, and was appointed as the guardian of Haotian Tower.

However, hundreds of years ago, Hong Chengtian mysteriously disappeared for ten years.

When he reappeared, he returned to the Haotian Tower seriously injured, dying, and almost died.

Although, he did not die and survived by luck.

But his strength could not be recovered, and his realm of strength kept falling.

For decades since then, he has been living in seclusion on Fengshen Mountain, and has never been seen.

Decades later, the three protectors at that time broke through to the Martial Saint Realm, and were rewarded by God Lord Taihao, and were named the great protectors guarding the Haotian Tower.

As a result, the identities of Hong Chengtian and the three protectors were switched.

The former three protectors have become the current great protectors, in charge of the entire Fengshen Mountain.

And Hong Chengtian, the Great Protector back then, has become the current Three Protectors, who have been living in seclusion in Tiansheng Palace.

More than a month ago, Ji Tianxing read these deeds in the book and paid special attention to them, so his memory is still fresh.

At this moment, Hong Chengtian was right in front of his eyes, he looked carefully and saw the clue.

Although on the surface, Hong Chengtian is hale and hearty and looks quite good.

But in fact, his primordial spirit was defective, and his aura was faint and weak. It was obvious that he was seriously injured and hadn't healed yet.

Even his realm of strength has dropped from Martial Saint Realm to Crossing Tribulation Realm.

Ji Tianxing faintly felt that Hong Chengtian's strength might be comparable to that of the Second Protector, between the seventh and eighth levels of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

At this time, Hong Chengtian looked at him kindly, and said with a smile: "You kid, you can be considered a legend in Fengshen Mountain.

Two months ago, you offended the majesty of the God Lord, and you were punished by the Great Guardian, and you were fined to sweep the floor of the Shenshu Pavilion.

But now, the oracle came down again, and he became the son of the oracle once in two hundred years, and lived in this Tiansheng Palace.

Such a twists and turns experience is really wonderful! "

After finishing speaking, Hong Chengtian stroked his beard, and a sincere smile appeared on his old face.

Ji Tianxing could tell that Hong Chengtian was open-minded, kind and kind, and he looked at him with admiration, so he admired him in words.

So he stood up, cupped his hands and saluted Hong Chengtian, "I have seen the three protectors."

Hong Chengtian waved his hands and said with a smile: "You don't need to stick to red tape, and you don't need to call him the Three Guardians, just call me Old Master Hong."

While talking, he took the initiative to sit cross-legged beside Ji Tianxing.

Ji Tianxing was also polite, and sat side by side with him, looking at the sky and the rising sun, and began to talk with great interest.

"Old Hong, why did you come to the altar today? Could it be that you are also waiting for the divine light?"

Hong Chengtian nodded, and said with a faint smile, "Yes, over the years, the old man has come here four times a year, and one of them must be baptized by the divine light."

Ji Tianxing thought for a while, then asked: "I heard that the divine light from the Kingdom of God is most useful to warriors in Yuanshen Realm and Transcendence Tribulation Realm, but it has little effect on martial saints.

You are baptized by divine light every year, could it be... related to your injury? "

Hong Chengtian turned his head to glance at him, and said with a playful smile: "You boy, you are really free and unrestrained, and you can do whatever you want, just like the rumors outside.

If it was other disciples and disciples, even if they knew it in their hearts, they would not dare to ask it in person.

It's good for you kid, you asked this matter in front of the old man, didn't you mean to expose the old man's shortcomings? "

Although he said so, there was no trace of blame in his expression and tone.

Ji Tianxing also showed a slight smile, and said in a calm tone: "Some people are humble, polite and personable on the surface, but they are sinister and cunning in their hearts.

But I'm different, since I don't want anything, I don't need to pretend to be myself.

The reason why I asked in person was also because I was concerned about Elder Hong's injuries. "

Hong Chengtian stared at him, nodded sympathetically and said: "Well, you are young, but you have quite a lot of experience, you have a lot of insights, and what you said is not bad at all.

The old man has cultivated his body and mind in Tiansheng Palace for hundreds of years, and now his state of mind is like water, returning to his innocence.

Falling from the former Martial Saint Realm to the current Tribulation Crossing Realm, the old man has also realized many truths.

You are a bit like the old man, you are tired of intrigue and intrigue, and you would rather be straightforward with others than hypocrisy. "

While speaking, he looked at the sky calmly, with a faint smile on his lips.

The golden morning sun reflected his white robe and long hair, making him look like a sage outside the world, a fairy in the clouds, with an ethereal temperament.

He and Ji Tianxing met as before, and they hit it off, so they opened up the chatterbox and started chatting.

"What happened back then is the old man's biggest secret, so naturally it cannot be mentioned to others.

However, the old man's injury is too serious, hurting the primordial spirit, so far it cannot be cured.

Over the years, the old man has to accept the baptism of divine light every year, so as to suppress the injury and avoid further deterioration.

In addition, the old man is still concentrating on researching the way of elixirs and seeking ways to treat injuries.

If it weren't for the help of the divine light, the old man's skill would have declined sharply.

After hundreds of years, I am afraid that this old man will not be much better than you..."

After Ji Tianxing listened, he frowned and thought for a moment, then tried to ask: "Mr. Hong, can you tell me about the injury of your primordial spirit and what are the symptoms?"

Hong Chengtian glanced at him in surprise, and said with a light smile, "What? Don't you know the way of pills?"
