Mythical Cultivation

Chapter 397 Grandfather and grandson

Wu Ming's heart tightened and he immediately focused his attention on the direction where the sound came from.

He pricked up his ears and listened carefully. After a while, the sound became clearer and clearer.

Wu Ming frowned slightly. These were actually the voices of two humans talking.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for two days, I finally saw a passerby.

However, Wu Ming did not make any noise in a hurry. He decided to calm down first and listen to who was passing by and whether it was possible for him to save himself from the predicament.

As the two voices became clearer and clearer, Wu Ming finally had a general understanding of the identities of the two people.

From their conversation, it can be inferred that the two people should be an old man and a young child.

And from what they said, it seemed that these two people were ordinary people who came to this area to collect herbs.

After confirming the identities of the two people, Wu Ming's worries were slightly alleviated.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then shouted, "Two friends, could you lend a hand and save me? I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

At this time, the old man and the young boy were concentrating on discussing whether to continue going deeper into the wilderness to collect herbs.

Just as they were hesitating, suddenly, a strange voice came from the grass not far away. The sudden voice scared the two of them.

"who?"

Following this low shout, the elderly man quickly protected the young man behind him and stared ahead with a vigilant look on his face.

His body leaned forward slightly, as if ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

After hearing the old man's words, Wu Ming quickly replied in a weak voice: "I am not a bad person, but I am seriously injured and unable to get up. I hope you can help me."

There was a hint of helplessness in his voice, which made people feel pity.

When the old man heard Wu Ming say that he was seriously injured, his expression relaxed a little, but his eyes were still sharp as he looked in the direction where the voice came from.

At this moment, the young man behind him seemed unable to restrain the kindness in his heart. He poked his head out from behind the old man and looked ahead.

"Grandpa, that man is injured. Why don't we go save him? Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!"

The boy's voice was clear and urgent, full of concern for the lives of others.

However, the old man was not moved by his grandson's words. He held his grandson's hand tightly and said cautiously:

"Let's wait and see. What if someone with ulterior motives is lying to us?"

His words revealed his distrust of strangers. After all, in this world, people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can easily trust a stranger.

Hearing the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, Wu Ming nodded secretly in his heart.

In this desolate wilderness, anyone would be alert if they suddenly heard someone calling for help.

After all, it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad people in this world. If you are not careful, you may fall into danger.

Wu Ming knew this very well, so he did not rush to explain his identity. Instead, he suggested that the grandfather and grandson come over first and judge for themselves whether he was trustworthy.

This approach not only shows that he is not a bad person, but also gives the grandfather and grandson enough autonomy.

Sure enough, after hearing Wu Ming's words, the young man immediately agreed.

He has a quick mind and swift reactions and is obviously a smart kid.

Although the old man was a little hesitant, he ultimately couldn't persuade his grandson and chose to follow his advice.

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, then walked cautiously towards the grass where Wu Ming was.

Their steps were light and cautious, as if they were afraid of disturbing something.

Wu Ming watched them approach quietly, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

After all, his current condition is not very good, and it is still unknown whether he can get help from the grandfather and grandson.

However, after hearing the conversation between the two, Wu Ming felt relieved. At least they were willing to come.

As soon as they got here, they suddenly saw a person lying on the ground.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a young man. His clothes were tattered, as if torn by something, and stained with blood that was dark red and almost black, and the original color was completely invisible.

Obviously, the young man had been lying here for a long time and the situation seemed a little bad.

Seeing this scene, the old man felt a little relieved.

Because judging from the young man's condition, what he said before should be true and he was not lying.

The young man next to him smiled happily, obviously he was very satisfied with his judgment, which proved that he was not wrong about the person.

At this moment, Wu Ming also noticed the arrival of the two people. He began to look at them and found that they were grandfather and grandson as expected.

The old man was about fifty or sixty years old, his hair was a little gray, and he had a big beard under his chin. He looked quite kind.

However, despite his advanced age, he still looks strong and energetic.

Looking at the young man next to him, he looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, in the prime of his life.

Although his appearance is not outstanding, he is very strong, like a calf, full of energy.

"Big Brother, how could you be so badly injured? And how could you end up in this wilderness? Are you a cultivator?"

The young man looked at Wu Ming's scarred body, and a strong curiosity surged in his heart, so he walked up quickly, approached Wu Ming, and asked with a suspicious look on his face.

When Wu Ming heard the boy's question, he was slightly surprised, but he did not show it.

He slowly raised his head, stared at the energetic young man in front of him, smiled slightly, and then replied softly:

"My dear brother, to be honest, the reason why I was injured so badly is because I was chased by my enemies and fled all the way here.

As for whether I am a cultivator, haha, my little brother really has good eyesight and can tell my identity at a glance."

When the young man heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed very satisfied with Wu Ming's answer.

He turned around excitedly and shouted to his grandfather beside him: "Grandpa, did you hear that? This big brother always says I'm smart, but you always call me a fool!"

After saying that, the boy winked at his grandfather proudly, looking very cute.

However, the boy's grandfather was very dissatisfied with his behavior.

The old man's face darkened, and he sternly said, "Xiaolong, stop being so rude! How can you be so presumptuous in front of the Immortal Master! Why don't you apologize to the Immortal Master immediately!"

Although the old man's voice was not loud, the majesty contained in it made the young man immediately realize his mistake.
