The continent of Syria is a continent surrounded by the sea on all sides.

In the southeast corner of the country sits a country called the Candy Kingdom.

The sea area that surrounds the Candy Kingdom in a semi-encircled manner is called the Candy Sea.

At the southernmost end of the Candy Sea, there is a small island called Huaguo Island, surrounded by mist.

Ten years ago, this island had a vision from the sky, and at the same time the sun and thunder descended, and its divine power was so powerful that everyone dared not come forward.

However, in the midst of the vision, an old man risked his life and broke into the island. When he came out, he was already scarred.

But in her arms, there is an extra sleepy-eyed, lively and cute little monkey.

She took the little monkey with her and raised him for ten years, but one day, she suddenly left him.

Little to no one in the candy kingdom knows when or why she's gone. Only a handful of people from the Candy Royal Family learned of this news.

General Dahler is one of them and informs Little Goku of the reason.

But if she still appears in the Candy Kingdom at this time, don't say the common people, don't say the princes and nobles, and even the Candy King, they will have to salute her to show respect.

She is the Great Elder of the Candy Kingdom, Shu Lan. The highest rank and the most famous man in the whole kingdom.

It has been three years since Shu Lan left Little Wukong, and she finally temporarily suppressed the recurring old injuries on her body. At this moment, he was on the westernmost island of the Aram continent......

This small island, similar in appearance to Huaguo Island, is also surrounded by a vast sea, all of which are shrouded in clouds and mist. But at the same time, there were bursts of fairy energy emanating from behind the clouds, adding to the mystery.

Entering through the mist, I came to the island, and when I looked down from above, I could see a clear black dot, and when I looked closer, I could vaguely make out that this was an extremely simple bamboo house.

Around the bamboo house, there is a bamboo forest surrounding, this scene, quiet and leisurely.

In front of the bamboo house, two figures sat opposite each other, both wearing cloaks.

One of them was the Great Elder Shu Lan. Due to the suppression of old injuries, there is no abnormality when it recurs, and now it is regained and very energetic.

The other, whose figure looked much shorter, looked much shorter, but behind the cloak, there was a feeling of bulging, and I didn't know what was inside. Around him, there was an incomparably illusory and ethereal aura circling, which seemed to be the existence of this aura, making his whole person look mysterious and dusty.

In the middle of the two, there is a game of chess, and on the chessboard, there are already a few chess pieces scattered at this time.

As the man opposite Shu Lan fell with a piece in his hand, the chess game was already set. Even though there was a light sigh, it came out of Shu Lan's mouth:

"Every time I play chess, I'm the loser. The chess skills of my predecessors are really embarrassing. ”

"Don't be too humble, you haven't played chess for a long time, and your chess skills are a little rusty. ”

A laughing voice sounded from the cloak opposite.

But it didn't sound like the vicissitudes of Elder Shulan, but it was very immature, and it felt like a child talking.

However, the tone in which Grand Elder Shulan talked to him did not have the condescension of the elders to the juniors, but more of a respectful attitude hidden in it.

"There is no way to do this, this old injury has to occur every few decades, and it is difficult to solve the problem in a short period of time every time it recurs. ”

"This time, thanks to your help, I was able to suppress them so quickly. Senior, please bow down to me. ”

Shulan whispered as she removed the hood of her cloak, revealing her old, wrinkled countenance. Then she had a solemn expression, slowly stood up, and bowed to the person opposite.

"It doesn't have to be that way. ”

The man in the cloak on the opposite side raised his hand as he spoke, and the ethereal immortal-like aura in his hand came out, temporarily slowing down Shu Lan's bowed posture.

"Three years ago, when you came here, I was almost startled when I saw you for the first time. ”

Looking at Shu Lan's face, the man in the cloak said with a smile: "At that time, after you put away all the spiritual energy, there was only black qi hovering around your body. ”

"Yes, this attack is much worse than ever. ”

Rao is the Great Elder Shulan, and when he thinks of that time, he can't help but smile bitterly.

"But why do you look so old? You can change your appearance at will, you can be younger. And I remember that you didn't look like this at that time. ”

Suddenly remembering something, the cloaked man asked with some curiosity.

Hearing this, Shu Lan explained:

"Ever since I became the Great Elder of the Candy Kingdom, I have appeared in this way in order to maintain good morality and high respect in everyone's hearts. ”

"I see. The man in the cloak nodded with a smile.

"And...... can also establish an image of a strict teacher in front of him. The Great Elder looked at him from afar and sighed.

The cloaked man's figure shook slightly, but he didn't answer. After a long time, Fang said softly:

"I'm sure he must have learned a lot under your teaching. ”

"However, most of these are what you have taught me before. ”

Shu Lan's somewhat cloudy gaze was radiant at the moment. The next second, she couldn't help but shake her head again, and said with a wry smile:

"It's just that I still don't understand why my seniors insist on not accepting me as an apprentice, obviously my seniors have led me through a long journey. ”

Facing Shu Lan's somewhat puzzled eyes when talking about this matter, at this time, the man in the cloak stood quietly, and in his wide sleeved robe, a small white hand stretched out, conjured a dead wood cane out of thin air, and pestled it on the ground. And in his mouth, there was a childish-sounding juvenile voice, but it seemed to have traveled through time and space, vast and long:

"The path of cultivation is not always smooth sailing, and if you stagger forward alone, you will inevitably fall into the quagmire and fall into thorns. Therefore, I will give you a small help and take you around these dangerous places. But at best, I can only be regarded as your guide, and I am still far from the position of master. ”

"Besides, I also have special requirements for my apprentices. ”

As this sentence fell, without waiting for Shu Lan to reply, the man in the cloak made a one-handed move: "Apprentice, come here!"

Shu Lan raised her head in amazement, staring around the bamboo forest with her eyebrows. Immediately, she felt an aura from far and near, and looked in that direction.

In the distance, the figure swapped its left and right feet, and one after another lightly came to the ground quickly, until the two of them were in front of them.

This is a girl who looks like she should be in the prime of her life, with a delicate and flawless face, bright pupils, eyebrows and distant mountains, a small and delicate nose, and a crystal pink skin. Dressed in a large, plain robe, it covered its already slightly curved body. The breeze blew on her face, and at the same time floated up the soft green silk on both sides of her.

At this time, the girl faced the cloaked man, bowed respectfully, and said, "Master!"

The cloaked man smiled and nodded, and when he spoke again, his voice was extremely gentle:

"How much of today's cultivation task has been completed?"

"Go back to Master," the girl still hung her head, and responded in a proper manner, "The third form of the "One Yuan Condensing Qi Fist", the apprentice has already fought seventy-five times today, and there are still twenty-five left, so he can complete today's task. ”

"One Yuan Condensing Fist"?"

Shu Lan was stunned, thought for a moment, and immediately showed a look of surprise, but did not speak.

"Okay, let's see what your results are today. ”

With the summons of the master, after the girl responded, she jumped away in a few vertical steps, her expression immediately became serious, and around her, the spiritual aura belonging to her had been opened, as if it had become a realm of its own. And the girl herself gradually gave birth to a heroic spirit, sharp and pressing.

"What a strong aura. Shu Lan's eyes opened slightly, a little surprised.

With the girl's coquettish voice, she immediately put on a fist fight, and then jumped up, stretched out her hands, and blasted her fists towards the surrounding bamboos. Every time the girl's fist rises and falls, a strong air flow will be emitted from her fist, and her body will disappear in place in an instant through the afterimage, and the next moment it will flash again from another place.

The girl played the third form that she had practiced repeatedly, and the surrounding bamboo was already inverted and in a mess.

The girl's last punch was retracted, and she came back to the two of them, knelt down towards the master in panic, and said timidly:

"Master, the apprentice's strength is not properly controlled, and he has destroyed the immortal bamboo that the master has painstakingly cultivated, please punish the master. ”

"Get up," the man in the cloak shook his head with a smile, "I don't blame you for the teacher, I said when I explained to you before, this set of boxing techniques is not about the combination of rigidity and softness, so there is no need to worry about the shot, the faster the fist, the better, when you are proficient in all styles, you can achieve tangible and intangible, the same realm duel, you will be able to win with one move." ”

As the former spoke, his sleeves swung lightly, and a strong gust of wind blew from inside, straightening all the crooked bamboos.

"Alright, you can continue to practice. ”

The girl nodded yes, and her figure flew away again.

After the girl completely disappeared in front of the two, the man in the cloak turned back to Shu Lan and asked with a smile:

"How do you feel about her strength among her peers?"

"Unsurpassed. ”

Shu Lan replied concisely, and then said in a low voice:

"I didn't expect that my predecessor would teach her this set of boxing techniques, and I was a little skeptical at first, but now, I can understand my senior's thoughts a little. ”

The man in the cloak looked up at the sky and did not respond directly, but began with another topic:

"About fifteen or sixteen years ago, when I was traveling around the continent, I happened to pick her up, she was still a baby, still in swaddling clothes, and she was the age when she was waiting to be fed. Originally, with my personality, I didn't want to worry about it, at most I just sent her to a nearby orphanage. However, when I sensed that there was an extremely special power hidden in her body, I did not hesitate to take her back to raise her, and when she began to cultivate, I officially accepted her as an apprentice. ”

"Mysterious power......" Shu Lan whispered softly, a little puzzled.

"It's inconvenient for me to reveal the details, it's too inappropriate to expose this power too early, and I've repeatedly warned her not to use it. Therefore, please do not disclose it to the outside world. ”

Facing the extremely dignified face of the man in the cloak, Shu Lan naturally understood its importance, and slowly bowed his head at the moment:

"Am I the kind of person who doesn't care about it? ”

"If it's okay, you can leave. You've been away from him for three years, maybe he thinks he's thinking about you. ”

"Also, although your old wound has been suppressed by me for the time being, but, as before, I can't guarantee how many years it will be before it recurs. Of course, it will most likely be decades away. ”

The man in the cloak stood up and admonished.

Hearing this, Shu Lan also got up, saluted him again, and slowly walked out of the island, and after taking a few steps, his figure paused, and he muttered:

"I was sent to General Dale from the Candy Kingdom before, and it was reassuring to hear about his recent situation. Although I don't know how he succeeded in transforming into a shape, it is a good thing, and now he can be on his own, I think, I will not appear in front of him for the time being, lest he become dependent on me again, which will not be good for him. ”

"You brought him up, and you call the shots. I have only entrusted this task to you, because you, although not my student, are also worthy of trust. ”

Behind, the man in the cloak smiled.

Shu Lan was a little moved in her heart, and then changed her words and continued:

"Also, I have some things that I need to do. ”

"Do you want to ......?"

This time it was the cloaked man's turn to be stunned, he had already guessed her thoughts.

Shu Lan let out a long sigh:

"We can't just let it continue to wreak havoc in this country, even on this continent...... Although I haven't seen that person for a long time, I don't believe that he will disappear into thin air. Maybe it's in a corner somewhere right now, planning some kind of conspiracy. ”

After saying that, the figure began to loom, gradually becoming transparent, until it disappeared completely.
