"Guo Chen, the elder is looking for you. ”

In a mountain forest, a young man who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old shouted to the tree in front of him.

"Ah, got it, I'll go when I get some sleep. ”

A lazy voice came from the tree.

At this time there was another man in the tree, about the same age as the boy under the tree, who was sitting on the branch of the tree, leaning against the trunk of the tree and closing his eyes to recuperate.

"No, the elder told you to go right away. ”

The young man under the tree seemed to have guessed that Guo Chen would say this, and when the words fell, he said something.

"Tsk, this old man is so annoying, I finally came out to rest for a while. ”

Guo Chen said as he cautiously climbed down from the tree.

"Let's go. ”

He scratched his head and walked along the gravel path towards the outside of the forest.

"Can't you just go faster?"

The young man who had just called him down followed him and said with a little impatience.

"I finally condensed such a little spiritual power, you also know my talent, I can't control the action if it's a little bigger, what if I can't mix it up during the assessment?"

He replied lazily.

"I'll help you. ”

The boy said, his palms closed from his chest, and a pale white gas seeped out of his palms.

"Shen Xuan, don't mess around, don't, ah!"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Xuan's palms had already slapped on his back, and the whole person had already flown out.

"It's a lot faster. ”

He vaguely heard someone talking in his ear, but it was flying too fast for him to open his eyes without experience, and the wind made him unable to hear clearly.

Guo Chen had just landed, and before he could stand firmly, he felt that the pair of sinful hands pressed on his back again, and then the next moment, he flew out again.

In this way, he flew more than ten times, and finally arrived at his destination, a large compound, which was also the residence of the second elder of the Yaqi Sect.

"Stop, it's here. ”

Guo Chen felt Shen Xuan's hand press on his back again, and immediately stopped it.

"Check if your spiritual power is still there. ”

As he spoke, Shen Xuan took away the hands that were placed on his back.

"I didn't dare to speak all the way, just to keep my poor spiritual power, you don't know how to collect it. ”

With that, he straightened his outfit and stepped into the compound.

Shen Xuan didn't follow Guo Chen this time, he and Guo Chen were both disciples of the outer sect, and they couldn't go in unless summoned by the elders.

"Old man, what are you looking for me?"

As soon as Guo Chen entered the door, he began to shout loudly, and Shen Xuan, who was outside, heard this sentence and mourned for him for three seconds in his heart.

"Stinky boy, I didn't practice well today. ”

A figure suddenly rushed out of the room and stood in front of Guo Chen.

This person was dressed plainly, his gray hair and beard were neat, his hands were behind his back, although he looked not young, his back was straight, and he was the second elder of the Yaqi Sect.

Seeing this person, Guo Chen subconsciously put his arms in front of him, but the fist he imagined did not appear.

"Old man, my talent, it's useless to practice, the environment of this Yaqi Sect is so good, how happy it is to travel the mountains and rivers. ”

Seeing that he had no intention of making a move, Guo Chen gradually became bolder.

"Today, I have something to do with you, so I won't pursue it for now, and follow me into the house. ”

The second elder said, turned around and shook his hand, Guo Chen's feet had already left the ground again, and he entered the house with him.

He put Guo Chen on a chair, shook his hand again, the door and window closed together, and after doing this, he sat opposite Guo Chen.

"Old man, what are you doing here, do you have any treasures for me to play with?"

Guo Chen's first reaction was that the second elder wanted to reward him with some treasure.

The second elder didn't reply, and took out a box as if playing a trick and put it in front of him.

The box as a whole is black, and there are some runes engraved on it that Guo Chen can't understand, but the things that these runes are composed of, he knows and is very familiar with, it is an eye!

"What is this?"

Guo Chen was talking, and his hand was already stretched out.

The second elder's face changed suddenly, he pushed out a palm with his left hand, pushed away Guo Chen's outstretched hand, and took the box back with his right hand.

This time Guo Chen was miserable, the second elder was too anxious, he didn't control his strength, and directly pushed him to the corner of the house.

"Old man, what are you doing?"

Guo Chen was immediately angry, this was the first time that the second elder had dealt such a heavy hand to him, at most, he had sent him to the sky to play for a while, so that he would not feel the heart-rending pain just now.

"You can't touch this thing. ”

The second elder said, put the box back in its original position, waved his hand to help the chair up, and at the same time put Guo Chen on the chair.

"What is this, you are reluctant to touch it for me, it can't be legendary, right?"

Guo Chen said as he rubbed his somewhat numb right hand.

"When I brought you back, you were holding this thing in your hand, but I couldn't open it at the time, so I just threw it into the scroll realm, and a few days ago I felt that something was abnormal in the scroll realm, and I found that the ban on this thing was lifted. ”

When Guo Chen heard this, his first thought was that my golden finger was finally going to appear!

In fact, Guo Chen is not from this world, he is from the earth of the 21st century, I don't know what happened, I traveled to this world.

When he first came to this world called the Xuling Continent, he had the impression that he was in a small village, but it seemed that he had been destroyed in the war, and later he was brought to the Yaqi Sect by the second elder.

He did remember what he was holding in his hand, but he was a baby at the time, and even with the intelligence of an adult, he couldn't see what it was.

Originally, he thought that he would travel to become a genius and save the world like in the novel, but the truth is that he has become one of the many waste materials of the Yaqi Sect.

However, he was not discouraged, he was also an old bookworm before, and he was confident that he would be able to wait for treasures and other things to help him transport them.

"Then hurry up and open it. ”

Guo Chen knew that the Second Elder would not let him move the box, so he could only urge the Second Elder to open the box.

"Let me tell you first, if you open this box, you won't want to live a peaceful life in the future. ”

The second elder's face was serious, and it seemed that he already knew what was in it.

"I know, open it. ”

Guo Chen continued to urge the second elder.

"Stinky boy, wait until I'm done. ”

The Second Elder was slightly angry at Guo Chen's attitude.

"What the hell is this thing that makes you so careful. ”

Guo Chen was also slightly restrained, it was the first time he had seen the appearance of the second elder.

"If I'm right, this should be...... Something that belongs to that race. ”

The second elder paused halfway, but he didn't say what Guo Chen wanted to hear the most.

"Which one?"

Although Guo Chen knew that the Second Elder might not say it directly, he was still very eager to know the answer.

And in the entire Yaqi Sect, the only person who can tell him this answer is probably the person in front of him.

After Guo Chen was brought back to the Baqi Sect by the Second Elder, he had been secretly cultivated, and apart from the Second Elder, only Shen Xuan knew about his existence.

"I don't know exactly what that group does, but according to the legends circulating on the mainland, they should exist to maintain order on the entire continent. ”

The second elder spoke.

"So, that's amazing, isn't it?"

What he didn't expect was that Guo Chen actually came to such a sentence.

"Stinky boy, it doesn't matter if you're strong or not, the important thing is that once you accept the contract, you must shoulder the mission of this race. ”

The voices of the two elders both raised a few points.

"Isn't it just to maintain order, what's so difficult?"

Guo Chen put on a nonchalant expression again.

"Alas, with such a mission, it is inevitable to intervene in the development of some big forces, and you cannot take sides, and over time, you will become the public enemy of the entire continent. ”

The second elder said this, Guo Chen had almost understood.

"In other words, exterminated?"

Guo Chen already had the answer in his heart, but he still wanted to say it and confirm it.

"Not really. ”

But unlike what he thought, the second elder actually gave a negative answer.

"Huh?"

Guo Chen didn't expect to get such an answer, looking at the second elder and waiting for him to explain to himself.

"This race will never disappear, and when their people die, they will turn into a black box, sealing the inheritance into it, waiting for those who are destined to inherit their power and continue to maintain peace on the mainland. ”

The second elder said, glancing at the box on the table.

"This is the box?"

Guo Chen asked, pointing to the black box on the table.

"I'm not sure it's the first time I've seen it with my own eyes, but it's the same as it appears in the books. ”

The second elder said, taking out a scroll from his sleeve.

The scroll style is very ordinary, pure white paper, without a hint of decoration.

The second elder unfolded the scroll, condensed the spiritual power on his right hand, and placed it on the scroll, and a book appeared in his hand out of thin air.

This scroll is the scroll realm mentioned by the Second Elder earlier, and it is his most precious spiritual weapon, which is epic, and according to him, it can hold tens of thousands of items.

The second elder opened the book and put it in front of Guo Chen.

Guo Chen didn't move, just looked at the page that the second elder turned to.

"In ancient times, there was a clan of nightmares, protecting the order of the continent, guarding the peace of the continent, their clansmen died, their souls were immortal, and their bodies turned into black boxes, waiting for their masters, their masters became adults, and the black boxes showed demon pupils. ”

In addition to this passage, there is also a box painted on the text, which is indeed somewhat similar to the box on the table.

"And then?"

After Guo Chen finished reading, he then looked up and asked the second elder.

"No, I searched through the library and found this record. ”

As the second elder spoke, he retrieved the book and included it in the volume realm.

"Then what if it wasn't me, I wouldn't carry this pot. ”

Although Guo Chen is very eager for the golden finger, it seems that this golden finger has brought him more harm than good.

"As long as you can open this box, then you are a descendant of the Nightmare Clan. ”

From this sentence, Guo Chen sensed that the second elder had already tried to open the box, but naturally he didn't open it.

"Then I'll try. ”

He asked, tentatively reaching out.

"You decide for yourself, if you open this box, I won't be able to protect you in the future. ”

The second elder paused for a moment, and then added: "Although our Yaqi Sect is not a big sect, we don't have a good impression of the Nightmare Clan, if there is another joint battle on the mainland, we will definitely stand on the opposite side of the Nightmare Clan."

"I know, so I opened it?"

Although Guo Chen is not very willing, he may only have such an opportunity in this life, if he does not seize this opportunity, Guo Chen can only stay in the small sect of Baqi Sect.

The second elder didn't speak, staring at Guo Chen with a calm face, he didn't want to affect his judgment because of himself.

Guo Chen stretched out his right hand, wanting to take the box over and take a closer look, but the moment his hand touched the box, the magic pupils on the box turned into runes and crawled down his arm to his body.

"What, old man, I can't move!"

Guo Chen yelled, but the second elder didn't mean to help him.

The rune climbed up Guo Chen's arm, over his shoulders, neck, cheeks, forehead, and around his left eye.

After waiting for a while, Guo Chen took his hand off the box, shook his hand, turned his head, made sure that there was no problem with his body, and then looked at the second elder.

"Old man, what was that just now?"

Guo Chen confirmed that he didn't have those strange runes on his body, and asked the second elder.

"I don't know, you continue. ”

The second elder said six words in a flat tone, but in fact, he knew what this thing was, and at this point, Guo Chen had no way out.

Although he couldn't read it, he could be sure that it should be an ancient script, and since it was an ancient script, it was most likely a contract of the Nightmare Clan, and once it was signed, it could not be changed.

Now that the contract is signed, why not accept the inheritance?

Guo Chen carefully touched the box to make sure that the situation just now would not happen again, and then took the box into his hands.

He glanced at the Second Elder and found that the Second Elder didn't look at him at all, and took out his own scroll, not knowing what he was doing.

His heart was crossed, he opened the box in his hand, a black light flashed, he felt a tingling pain in his left eye, and subconsciously closed his eyes.

After the stinging sensation passed, Guo Chen tentatively opened his eyes, and then he felt that the world in front of him was different from what he had seen before.

Then he felt that there was a warm current running in his body, and then he jumped up excitedly, this is what he has been longing for for more than ten years!
