Mu Zining raised his eyebrows: "Oh, why did the predecessor say this?"

The drunken beggar scratched his head: "For some reason, when I saw you at first glance, it seemed that I saw an old man back then." ”

"Old man?" Mu Zining smiled slightly: "The drunken seniors are laughing, Zining is only five years old now, and he has never been to Fengshan a few times, how can he be the old man of the seniors?"

"That's right. The drunken beggar sighed, "That was a hundred years ago, alas." ”

He suddenly sighed, and the old man on the side hurriedly asked, "Why are you sighing when you are drunk?"

The drunken beggar shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just remembering some of the past, an old man." I thought of some news from the outside world over the years, and the old man was no longer there, so I sighed that the old man had a great kindness to the old man Hanako, and I am afraid that there is no way to repay it in this life. ”

"Master's deceased?" At this moment, a voice sounded, but a middle-aged man wearing a golden cedar and a goat's beard walked over, heard the drunken beggar's words, and asked with a smile, "I don't know if I've seen it?"

The drunken beggar shook his head: "How can you see it, even if you are a teacher, you have only seen him once, and you are already fortunate for three lives." Speaking of which, it was the year when the teacher accepted you as an apprentice. ”

He looked at Mu Zining, revealing a look of nostalgia: "The one who was also dressed in white at the beginning, like an immortal. Although you are young, you really have a bit of that demeanor. ”

The middle-aged man was curious: "There is such a thing, but I have never heard you mention it, Master." ”

Saying that, he arched his hand to the old man: "There are some affairs entangled, I just arrived, don't be surprised by Brother Muxian." ”

The old man smiled and said: "How come, you are the deputy city lord, and you are not as idle as an old man like me." I am already very grateful for being able to help me invite a drunken beggar today. ”

Mu Zining also bowed: "I've seen Master Su." ”

This middle-aged man Mu Zining has seen it, but it is Su Zixiu, the current deputy city lord of Bianping City, and he is also a disciple of the drunken beggar.

Although he seems to be only middle-aged, he is actually over 100 years old, older than the old man Mu, just because he is a monk, his cultivation is profound, and his appearance does not show his age.

It is said that he was originally born as a commoner, and was accepted as a disciple by a drunken beggar when he was young, and he broke through the king realm when he was only thirty years old, and was accepted as a righteous son by the city lord of Bianping, and became famous in the border area.

Now that he is over 100 years old, he is already a high-level powerhouse in the Imperial Realm, the first powerhouse in Bianping City except for his teacher drunken beggar, and he has even ascended to the position of deputy city lord. And the city lord is old and has no children under his knees, after he abdicates, Su Zixiu is undoubtedly the next city lord, which can be said to be a high power.

The Mu family is one of the best families in Bianping City, although the old man Mu and Su Zixiu are different in age, they are also considered to be the same generation, and they have been friends for decades and have a deep friendship. This time, it was because of him that he invited the drunken old-timer to the birthday banquet.

"Zining has grown a lot taller, and with such a smart great-grandson, Brother Mu Xian must be very relieved. Su Zixiu smiled and said a few words to Mu Zining, and then turned to the drunken beggar.

"Listening to what Master said, it seems that that the old man is quite a great man?"

The old man was very curious and looked at the drunken beggar.

The drunken beggar sighed slightly: "It's not just a big man, although he didn't reveal his identity back then, but if the old man Hanako guessed correctly, he is the legendary number one powerhouse in the continent, the supreme of the upper domain." ”

"The strongest man in the mainland...... Could it be...... Chen-" Su Zixiu and Old Man Mu were both startled, showing a look of shock, and were about to continue, but were interrupted by a drunken beggar.

"How can you mention that person's name at will?"

Su Zixiu nodded, his eyes full of surprise: "What I said is that it is disrespectful." ”

Then he remembered something and sighed slightly: "If it is really that one, I also understand why Master is lamenting." ”

The old man nodded with deep sympathy: "Although there is not much news from the outside world over the years, the old man has also heard a little, the reason why the mainland has not fallen all these years is because that senior sacrificed his life to fight off the leader of the demons, otherwise where would I wait for peace?"

"But the Demon Leader was only repulsed. The drunken beggar shook his head and sighed, "When there will be a comeback, who will stop him then?"

The three of them were silent for a moment, and Su Zixiu shook his head and said: "Master, even if Master's cultivation is high, it is a drop in the ocean in the face of such a catastrophe. We only need to protect this side of Pingcheng, this is a major matter related to the mainland, and the powers of freedom should be considered. ”

The drunken beggar sighed: "As a teacher, don't you understand this truth, it's just that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, if even the upper domain really falls, under the nest, there will be eggs." ”

When a few people were talking, no one noticed that Mu Zining was standing aside and listening, looking thoughtful.

However, today is the birthday banquet of the old man after all, and on the day of the big day, a few people only said a few words, and then turned the topic to other places.

The birthday banquet did not end until late at night, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

The old man still remembered that he wanted the old man to worship the drunken beggar as a teacher, but the drunken beggar said that he had no intention of accepting apprentices, which made the old man Mu quite disappointed.

However, before leaving, the drunken beggar left a book of cultivation methods, saying that he wanted Mu Zining to try to practice, and if he was talented enough to get started, it was okay to worship under his apprentice Su Zixiu.

The old man Mu was very happy, handed over his mind to Mu Zining, and told him to practice hard, although he couldn't directly worship the drunken beggar as a teacher, but it was not bad to worship under Su Zixiu. After all, Su Zixiu is good friends with the Mu family, and he is only more than 100 years old now, and he has a great hope of breaking through the Venerable Realm in the future.

That night, Mu Zining returned to the room, and after washing up under the service of Yinhuan, he sat on the edge of the bed and flipped through the book of cultivation methods at will.

"It always feels familiar. ”

He suddenly spoke, as if speaking to himself.

But at some point, there was one more person in the originally empty room.

It was the little girl with the pitch-black sword on her back who was quietly watching him.

Mu Zining raised his head: "What do you say?"

He remembered the conversation between the old man and the old man during the day.

"Do you know the man they're talking about?"

The little girl blinked, but did not speak.

Mu Zining shook his head and smiled: "I know you can't speak." ”

"Forget it, I'll see it tomorrow, it's late at night, let's sleep first. ”

Mu Zining put his mind by his side and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

As the eyelids closed, there was darkness in front of the eyes, and then, again.

Colorful light, lit up from the dark world.

The girl didn't disappear, just stood quietly by the bed, looking at Mu Zining who was emitting a faint glimmer on her body.

Silent.
