According to the color of the lotus leaf of the nine-leaf green lotus, it is not difficult to see that it corresponds to the ninth order of the earth, which is also destined to stop at Taixuan, which does not need to be verified by the old man in black at all, and can be deduced with a little brain, if you ask, the only consequence is to be despised by the old man in black again.

Moreover, if the Nine-Leaf Qinglian could really surpass the ninth order of the earth, the old man in black would have taken it himself, and he would not have to become a golden immortal, even if he had advanced to a heavenly immortal, he would be able to prolong his life.

Wu Zhongyuan woke up after only sleeping for two hours, and after waking up, he circled around the island again, and some strange plants were planted near the water on this island, these plants were poisonous, and the smell emitted by these plants would be superimposed several times after the toxicity was mixed, and a large amount of poisonous gas condensed around the island, lingering, and it was also a loss that he was not poisonous, and others could not set foot on this island at all.

Wu Zhongyuan got up early, and the monkey got up early, and this monkey was not afraid of the poisonous gas of the island, and was running around the island at this time, throwing the dead birds that had strayed into the island into the sea.

This monkey's IQ is higher than that of ordinary monkeys, knowing that Wu Zhongyuan and the old man in black are together, he doesn't attack him, and after the chance encounter, he squeaks a few times, as if he is greeting him.

At dawn, the old man in black got up and went out, called Wu Zhongyuan over, and took him to familiarize himself with the situation on the island, including the characteristics of various fruit trees and precautions for management, there are many fruit trees on the island, most of them are varieties that are not available on land, and the woman in white eats only a few of them, she is a spiritual cultivator, equivalent to the middle level of the heavenly immortals, and she no longer eats the fireworks in the world, that is, she will not starve to death if she does not eat, but she will feel hungry.

The life of the woman in white is also very regular, before sunrise will go to the cliff of Dongshan, from there to wait for the sunrise, until noon, and then return to the residence to play the qin, after laughing and crying, in the afternoon will be in a daze, three watches will lie down for a while.

The monkey's task is to bring her food twice a day, and to clear the obstacles in her path, lead her to the cliffs, and then lead her back.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't ask about the situation of the woman in white, with his current aura cultivation, it was impossible to repair the damaged Yuan Shen, and besides, this was an island located on the back of the turtle, if the dantian armor changed color, it meant that the person she was waiting for had returned, and the Xuan Turtle would take her to the agreed place.

All he needs to do is to be loyal to his duties and do what he has to do, and he can't take care of the rest.

There are a lot of trees on the island, and it is impossible for Wu Zhongyuan to remember the characteristics of so many trees in a day, in addition, the old man in black must also make the monkey accept him as the new leader, in addition to the expression of language, he also has to make some false moves, so that the monkey understands that he is stronger than the old man in black, and the old man in black must also surrender to him.

On the stone room where the old man in black and the woman in white lived, there were several dilapidated pavilions, one of which hung a huge gong in one of the pavilions, when the poisonous gas lingering around the island dissipated, the monkey would ring the gong, and the woman in white would emit aura to cover the island when she heard the sound of the gong, and the turtle would sink heavily and sink the island to the bottom of the sea, and the turtle would resurface after an hour.

This is a contingency to prevent the intrusion of the poisonous fog into the island.

After a few days like this, the old man in black spoke less and less, and spent most of the day in his own quarters, and did not go to the woman in white's quarters, perhaps in his opinion it was disrespectful and offensive to be in the same room with the woman in white.

Seeing the old man in black like this, Wu Zhongyuan was sure that he was really at the limit, even if he had the heart to ask for advice, it was inconvenient to go in and disturb, he worked in the forest every day, and the monkey sometimes came to see him in the forest, and he was not too close to the monkey, not that he hated monkeys, but the old man in black told him not to be too close to the monkey, otherwise this guy would go up and brain.

Monkeys are always monkeys, stubborn by nature, no matter how restrained they are, it is impossible to keep to themselves, although there is no stubborn behavior at this time, but the eyes are not right, and they have lost their supervision, and they will definitely slack off on errands for a long time.

Sometimes it feels like time flies very slowly, but when it comes to the last day, looking back, you will feel that time flies quickly, and in the afternoon of the seventh day, the old man in black left the stone room and walked towards the grass pavilion where Wu Zhongyuan stayed, carrying a wine jar in each hand.

Seeing the old man in black walking towards the grass pavilion, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly got up and greeted him.

The old man in black stuffed the wine jar in his left hand to Wu Zhongyuan, "Drink with me." ”

"You're big enough for this cup. Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile, he knew what the old man in black meant, but he didn't want to make the atmosphere so sad.

"Millennial wine, it is your creation to be able to drink it," the old man in black smiled, "It's a pity, it was that I pasted three layers of sealing mud back then, and over the years, it still dispersed a lot, and these two jars were originally full, and now only half of the jar is left." ”

Wu Zhongyuan shook the wine jar and found that there was indeed only half of the jar left, and at this time, the old man in black had already sat down from the grass pavilion, tilted the wine jar, and carefully patted the mud seal at the mouth of the altar.

Wu Zhongyuan sat across from him, doing the same thing as he did.

"I'm going on my way after drinking this jar. The old man in black spoke in a calm tone.

Although he knew that today was the limit of the old man in black, listening to what the old man in black said, Wu Zhongyuan still couldn't help but feel sad and forced a smile, "What time?"

"At sunset. The old man in black said.

Wu Zhongyuan turned his head to look west, and there was less than an hour left before sunset.

The old man in black smashed the mud seal on the wine jar, cleared the floating soil, and took a sip of the wine jar, "Well, it's not bad, but the wine is a little lighter." ”

Wu Zhongyuan also tasted it, some things are not as new as possible, but it is not as old as possible, this jar of wine has been stored for too long years, and the wine smell is very serious, more mellow and less wine.

The old man in black put down the wine jar and let out a sigh, "I know that you still have a lot of confusion in your heart, but I have told you everything, and you don't have to ask me anything, I am an alien body, you are a human being, you and I are not in the same camp, what I said and did, in fact, has crossed the line." ”

"If I had the heart to ask, I would have spoken a few days ago, how could I wait until now," Wu Zhongyuan said casually, "You have given the Nine Leaves Green Lotus as a gift, which is already a great help to the human race." ”

The old man in black waved his hand, "You are wrong, I don't want to help humans, I just want to help you, earlier I said that you will not survive more than one right time after the seal disappears, and I am not alarmist, with your current cultivation, you are indeed powerless to protect yourself, if you become Taixuan, and then get a group of helpers, you may be able to fight hard." But don't be too optimistic, I sent you Jiuye Qinglian just to convince you of the loss, so that he wouldn't be lucky, take risks, and give up his life. ”

Wu Zhongyuan held the wine jar and saluted first, put down the wine jar and asked, "Why do you despise human beings so much?"

The old man in black was respected, and then said, "You are wrong again, I don't look down on human beings, I look down on all weak existences, I have seen a lot in five thousand years, and I have understood a lot, I found that the stronger the existence, the brighter it is, the weaker the existence, the more obscene, the weak in order to survive, there is no bottom, and all despicable and shameless things are done." ”

As soon as Wu Zhongyuan wanted to speak, the old man in black raised his hand to stop him, "I know what you want to say, the enslavement and protection of the weak by the strong coexist, as long as you obey the slavery of the strong, you can get the protection of the strong, and if you don't obey, you will be punished, think about it carefully, everything is like this, so are you human beings, while you protect your people, will you set rules for them? If they don't obey, will you punish them? Tell me, what is the difference between discipline and slavery?"

Wu Zhongyuan hadn't really thought about this question before that the old man in black, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.

The old man in black said, "Your protection of the weak is also based on their observance of the rules you have set, which in itself is a kind of slavery, but the degree of severity is different, in this case, why should you resist the constraints of the strong, as long as you obey them, they will protect you." ”

"We don't need their protection, and we don't accept their enslavement," Wu said, "and there is a difference between restraint and enslavement. ”

Wu Zhongyuan hadn't thought about the old man's previous question, and the old man in black hadn't thought about Wu Zhongyuan's remarks before, so he didn't refute it, but grabbed the wine jar and took another sip, "I have a suggestion with you, do you want to hear it?"

"Yes. Wu Zhongyuan nodded, he didn't agree with some of the old man in black's opinions, but he didn't reject the old man's kindness to him.

"Break the seal in advance to release the beasts," the old man in black said, "Your strength is too weak, and if you want to protect yourself, you must join forces with the beasts." ”

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, and had to admit that the old man in black's suggestion had some truth, but this matter was very important, and there were pros and cons, so it needed to be carefully weighed.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan frowning, the old man in black said again, "I don't care about the life and death of human beings, but I don't want you to die." ”

Wu Zhongyuan smiled, "Good life and frankness, I will seriously consider your suggestion, if I have the heart to release the beast clan, how to break the seal?"

"I don't know, you don't have to lie to me, this is a whimsical suggestion, not a deliberate conspiracy," the old man in black lifted the wine jar at Wu Zhongyuan, "Drink." ”

Wu Zhongyuan drank it, and the old man in black also drank it.

"How long is there?" Wu Zhongyuan asked, anyone who has cultivated deeply can have a deep view of his meridians and air pockets, and can accurately estimate the specific time of his limit.

The old man in black closed his eyes and groaned, and after a while, he opened his eyes and spoke, "Half an hour." ”

"Is there anything else you want to explain to me?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

The old man in black shook his head.

"I don't know your name yet. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"I don't have a name. The old man in black said, seeing Wu Zhongyuan frowning, the old man in black smiled, "I really don't have a name, the lord has always called me a finch back then, you can't call me like that, right?"

The old man in black laughed, Wu Zhongyuan also laughed, and women always gave names to mounts with a touch of fat and powder.

"What kind of cultivation are you?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Although he didn't know why Wu Zhongyuan had this question, the old man in black still answered his question, "It's too empty." ”

"If you are too void and cultivate, you can put me to death when I am wearing the green dragon armor?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"Even if you wear the Green Dragon Armor, you can't escape my control. The old man in black was quite confident.

"If that's the case, I may not survive the time when the seal is gone. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"That's not necessarily, the Green Dragon Armor is still somewhat useful, except for me, no one can beat it. The old man in black said.

"You're flying fast?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"All over the world, I admit the second, no one dares to admit the first. "The old man in black is arrogant.

"Fly again?" Wu Zhongyuan smiled evilly.

"Hahaha," the old man in black grabbed the wine jar and drank the rest of the wine, "Okay, fly again......"
