The Nangong family, as a family that has existed for hundreds of years, has many glory of its own, and has its own wealth, status and power.

The masters of the Nangong family abound, not to mention the nine elders of the Nangong family. Six of the nine elders are at the hermit level, and the remaining three are not at the hermit level, but their strength is not inferior to the ordinary hermit level, and among all the elders, the Great Elder Wuji Elder has reached the ninety-ninth level of the hermit.

Among them, the most mysterious is the second elder of the Nangong family, as a ninety-seventh, he is the third master of the Nangong family in addition to Wuji, and the second elder is in the family retreat all the year round and rarely leaves the family, so outsiders say that he is the most mysterious elder of the Nangong family.

This second elder was still an ascetic, and he did not live in the courtyard built for him by his family, but opened his own cave in the back mountain to conduct retreat.

Back Mountain

This is a square cave about six meters wide artificially opened, the top of the cave has a huge night pearl for lighting, the entrance of the cave is two heavy bronze doors engraved with formations unless the consent of the second elder is not open by ordinary people, in the center of the cave is a huge pool, the pool is the center of the earth jade dew that drains from the ground.

Let's talk about this geocentric jade dew, it can warm the spirit and not only purify the spirit element, but also reduce the chance of going mad, it is a rare treasure. In the human world, it can be said to be a very rare god-level auxiliary cultivation item. In the center of the pool is a bed carved from thousands of years of ice, due to the relationship between the ice and the jade dew in the center of the earth, the whole cave is wafting and filled with white cold air, and the temperature of the whole cave is extremely low.

"Huh?" The second elder who was sitting on the ice bed slowly opened his eyes, because he found that someone seemed to have moved the sealing formation he had set up on the bronze door of the cave.

"Who is it?" he channeled his senses, trying to see who it was.

But when he looked out with his divine sense, he didn't see any figures, and there was no one outside the house.

"What is this?" His mind didn't see anyone, but he found a palm-sized bronze plate in the doorway.

He opened the bronze door at the door slightly, and then grabbed the bronze plate at the door with his divine sense, and then resealed the doorway.

And not far away, a mysterious figure was silently watching all this, and when he saw the bronze plate being brought into the second elder's cave, he smiled slightly on the corner of his mouth and turned to leave.

This is a bronze plate engraved with strange patterns, the soil on the plate shows that it has a long history, but the plate always looks gloomy and always makes people feel bad, and when the second elder looks at the plate in his hand, the patterns on it always seem to move, I don't know why there is an inexplicable irritability in his heart, and the frequency of the pattern is increasing.

In this way, he looked at the bronze plate, and since he was in a trance.

"Stop" The second elder, who has always been known for his old ice cubes, actually got angry for the first time in more than a hundred years, only to see him throw the bronze plate out.

"What's wrong with me?" he looked at his hands in confusion, then at the bronze plate he had thrown on the ground.

"This thing is a bit evil, even I have been affected, I'm afraid it's not good, in order to prevent this thing from harming the common people, I still sealed it" I saw his right hand raised, and the bronze plate on the ground in the distance flew in front of him again, floating in front of his eyes.

"Seal!" The cold air around it gathered towards the bronze disk, turning into ice cubes and enveloping the bronze disk.

Then the second elder retracted his right hand again, and the ice lost its support and fell into the pool, and was frozen by the second elder at the bottom of the pool.

"It's better to wait for this thing to go and ask Wuji when it comes out, that old guy knows more," After dealing with the seal, the second elder closed his eyes again and continued to retreat.

Just when he thought it was just a small episode, the patterns on the bronze plate under the pool began to eat away at the ice that sealed it little by little like tree roots, of course, these second elders didn't know.

And so he continued his retreat, for one day, two days............. As time passed, a month passed.

One day a month later,

I saw that the second elder suddenly opened his eyes, because he felt that the spirit yuan in his cave mansion had become extremely thin.

But when he opened his eyes, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, the pattern of the bronze plate actually spread to the entire cave like a tree root.

"What's the matter" He just wanted to stand up, but found that he was bound to the ice bed by the "roots" and could not move.

It stands to reason that he should feel something abnormal in his cave mansion as soon as possible, but he doesn't know it.

He lowered his head and looked at his body, and he immediately knew the reason,

Now he found that the surface of his skin was full of unknown patterns on the bronze plate, and his six senses and five senses had been sealed by this pattern, and now all he could move was his eyes and head.

"Do you want to break through the bottleneck?" a vague voice came from all around.

"Who?" the second elder looked around vigilantly.

"You answer me first, you want to break through" is still the voice that is not sad or happy, and I can't hear whether it is a man or a woman.

"Hmph" I saw that the second elder did not answer, but mobilized his spirit yuan.

The "Word Solving Technique" emitted a golden glow from the second elder's body, and most of the patterns on his body were shattered.

He stood up, and with a wave of his right hand, an ancient book appeared in front of him, which was his natal artifact, the Book of the Sages.

"Finding Words", a word 'Xun' flew out of the book, illuminating the gloomy cave.

"Since you don't answer, then I'll have to be you first," the mysterious voice just finished speaking, and the surrounding patterns gathered and intertwined in the center, forming a humanoid shape in a split second.

After a while, an identical 'Second Elder' appeared in front of the Second Elder, the only difference was that the Second Elder was holding a gold-bordered Sage Book, while the Second Elder on the other side was holding a Sage Book with a dark green book, and Lingyuan was not the gold of the genuine Second Elder, but the same color as his pattern - bronze green.

Seeing that someone who was exactly the same as himself was standing in front of him, the second elder chose to attack first.

"Killing the word recipe", a 'kill' word flew out of the book of the second elder and flew towards the fake 'second elder'.

"Dingzijue" A big dark green character 'Ding' flew towards the second elder.

"You!?" the second elder's killing word hit the fake 'Second Elder', only to see that the fake card immediately disintegrated into a pattern, and after a few seconds, it gathered together again and resumed the appearance of the second elder.

And the word 'Ding' on this side of the counterfeit also fell on the second elder, and the second elder could not be decomposed like a fake, so he was fixed in place.

"I'm sorry, I'm you from today onwards" An even more bizarre scene happened, and the fake 'Second Elder' turned into something like liquid and entered the body of the Second Elder.

An hour later, when the Second Elder opened his eyes again, his eyes had turned dark green.

I saw him throw the book of the sage in his hand into the pool and seal it.

When he had done all this, he walked over to the green book and picked it up, then went back to the ice bed and sat down again.

The patterns around the cave house also slowly receded, and the cold air filled the entire cave again, and the night pearl that was covered up illuminated the cave again after the pattern receded, and all this returned to its previous appearance, the only difference was that the bronze plate sealed under the pool before had become a gold-bordered book of sages.
