Behind the secret door, a glimmer of light came out, leading down a row of stone steps, deep into the ground.

Facing down the stone steps, a few turns turned around, and light sources appeared on the walls on both sides of the stone steps, where only two people could walk side by side.

Every few meters, there is an egg-sized night pearl on the wall, this kind of night pearl, which is almost impossible to find on the market, emits a millimeter of light, illuminating the tunnel clearly.

Zhao Sihai did not hesitate at all, continued to move forward, gradually, the tunnel became deeper and deeper, it is estimated that it has reached a depth of hundreds of meters underground, and finally it is flat, and finally, he came to a stone gate.

The stone gate is very large, with an area of nearly twenty square meters, and there is an old man in gray sitting cross-legged in front of the door, if Wang Ruoyu is here, he will definitely be able to recognize that this old man is the old man in gray who appeared in the Dragon Soul headquarters last time.

Zhao Sihai bowed to the old man very respectfully and said, "Elder, I want to ask to see the Dragon Lord." ”

The gray-clothed old man opened his eyes, glanced at Zhao Sihai, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The old man in gray frowned and said with a smile: "Are you joking?" Do you think it's possible? ”。

Zhao Sihai said: "I know the possibility is very small, but I will feel at ease if I try it." ”

"In that case, you go!"

The gray-clothed old man shook his head, waved his hand, and a strong wind blew, and the stone door actually shrank to both sides, revealing a portal.

Zhao Sihai took a breath and stepped in.

This is a hall, covering an area of about hundreds of zhang, very spacious and bright, on the walls around it, there are still countless night pearls, the ground and the wall, carved with countless golden dragons, lifelike.

Eight old men, all sitting in circles, all with white beards and hair, all dressed in gray robes, surrounded an old man in the middle.

The one in the middle, dressed in a golden robe embroidered with a golden dragon, with teeth and claws, was extremely vivid, and the old man was even older, with two extremely long eyebrows, hanging down from both sides of his face, which looked somewhat majestic, but never strange.

"Disciple Xu Sihai, meet the Dragon Lord and the elders."

Zhao Sihai knelt down and kowtowed to a group of old men.

The four old men did not move, and their eyes were still closed, as if they had been sitting for countless years.

But the old man in the dragon robe in the middle opened his eyes, he glanced at Zhao Sihai, and said, "Get up and speak!" ”

Zhao Sihai stood up, but he didn't dare to look up at the old man's eyes.

Although the old man is really old, his eyes are very bright, and he seems to be able to penetrate everything in the world.

"As I said, you can't just step in here." The old man's voice was gentle, but it was majestic.

"Dragon Master, the disciple has something to ask for." Zhao Sihai said in a deep voice.

The dragon lord said: "You want to ask for the Rejuvenation Pill, right?" ”

Zhao Sihai still didn't bow his head, nodded and said, "Yes, ask the Dragon Lord for a reward." ”

"You should know the value of this elixir, our Dragon Gang has a total of three pills, I used one pill in the early years, you used one pill back then, and only the last pill remained, do you think I will give it to you?"

The Dragon Lord's face did not change at all, perhaps he was really too old, and it was difficult to see the change in expression from his face.

And the remaining eight old men, the same old man, seemed to be going to die in the next moment, but their vitality was very deep, no one opened their eyes, all of them were like sculptures, but the majesty they exuded was enough to make Zhao Sihai tremble.

In fact, Zhao Sihai's legs were already trembling, and he was about to lose his support, but he didn't flinch, he still didn't dare to raise his head, but said very persistently: "I know that this elixir is very precious, but the disciple still asks the Dragon Lord for mercy." ”

"You're going to save someone, who is important to you?" The dragon lord asked.

Zhao Sihai replied: "My son's friend, because my son owes her, so, I have to pay it back." ”

"Needless to say, this Rejuvenation Pill is precious, it was left by our Dragon Gang ancestors, the Dan Fang has long been lost, and it is estimated that the materials are difficult to find, but do you know, the full name of this Rejuvenation Pill?"

Zhao Sihai replied: "I don't know." ”

"The full name is the Rejuvenation Pill Against the Heavens!" The dragon lord said in a deep voice: "This kind of elixir, naturally has the effect of resurrecting the dead, can reshape people's vitality, can be born, old, sick and die, it is destined by God, since someone wants to die, there must be a reason to die, you are so against the sky, but you have to be punished by God, although you are only my nominal disciple, but your understanding talent is good, although you have always disappointed me, but I don't want to see you punished by heaven, do you understand?" ”

Zhao Sihai took a breath: "The disciple is grateful to the Dragon Lord, and he has indeed disappointed the Dragon Lord over the years, but this time, I would rather suffer the curse of God than my son despair." ”

"You've really figured it out?" The Dragon Lord frowned.

Zhao Sihai nodded resolutely, this time, he finally raised his head, although this action was very difficult, he still raised his head in the end, looking at the dragon lord, his eyes were resolute, and he did not dodge.

The dragon lord looked at Zhao Sihai, and after a while, he sighed: "That's it, that's it, I can give you this elixir, but the destiny of heaven cannot be violated, you will lose your life because of this, and your life opportunity will be lost because of this, you must be mentally prepared." ”

"Thank you Dragon Lord for the reward!" Zhao Sihai bowed.

"I have one more condition, if you agree, you can take this rejuvenation pill with you, if you don't agree, then I won't force it." The Dragon Lord said suddenly.

Zhao Sihai was stunned for a moment, his heart sank, he knew that the conditions of the dragon lord must be difficult to meet, but now, he has no way out, so he said without thinking: "The dragon lord said that it is okay, no matter what the conditions, the disciple will agree." ”

"Don't say yes too quickly." The dragon lord said: "This condition actually doesn't need you to complete, but your son needs to complete it." ”

Zhao Sihai frowned: "Please make it clear to the Dragon Lord." ”

"Time is like an arrow, twenty years are fleeting, you should have guessed, what are my conditions, right?" Dragon Master Road.

Zhao Sihai's face changed greatly, he hesitated for a moment, bowed his head and said, "Dragon Lord, forgive the disciple for being stupid." ”

"Okay, since you want to pretend to be confused, I simply make it clearer, I want your son to join our Dragon Gang, and moreover, I have to go to the Demon Cliff to guard for a period of three months, if he is lucky enough not to die at that time, there will be a great creation, if he dies because of this, it just does not violate the mandate of heaven, what do you think?" The dragon lord said word by word.

"Demon Suppression Cliff?"

Zhao Sihai's voice trembled a little.

"You have been there back then, when you know how dangerous it is, I won't force you, you can go back and think about it and come to me again, this is also your only chance to get the Rejuvenation Pill." The dragon lord's expression was the same.

Zhao Sihai was silent, but his body trembled violently.

Demon Suppression Cliff, he went to stay for half a year, and now that he thinks about it, he feels afraid, it is definitely a place of nine deaths and one life.

This kind of place is unknown to no one in the world, but Zhao Sihai knows it very well.

He didn't know how he had left, and he was a little lost.

He really wanted to get this rejuvenation pill, because he didn't want his son to be disappointed, and he didn't want his son to live in remorse for the rest of his life, which was tantamount to following in his footsteps.

But he is such a son, there is no father who does not love his son, if he agrees to the request of the dragon lord, it is equivalent to putting Zhao Bing in the fire pit, it is definitely nine deaths!

He was in a dilemma and did not dare to agree rashly.

"The Dragon Lord didn't give it to you?" As soon as the king of Hades saw Zhao Sihai's expression, he knew that this had not been done.

"I said, that thing is too precious, you can't get it, he can't give it to you."

Zhao Sihai sat opposite the king of Hades a little decadently, and said bitterly: "Actually, I can get it." ”

Hades was stunned: "What's the reason for that?" Oh, I see, it must be the dragon lord who has some conditions that you can't complete. ”

"Yes, he wants to let the little soldier go to the Demon Cliff to guard for half a year, you know, the time of twenty years is here again." Zhao Sihai's face was bitter.

Hades's face also changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "Demon Suppression Cliff? ”

Zhao Sihai picked up the teapot and poured a few sips into his mouth, with a wry smile on his face.

"I really can't promise this, that place, although I haven't been there, but I know, it's definitely nine deaths, back then, if it wasn't for your luck, where could you come back alive, you were really lucky, the dragon lord was willing to feed you the Rejuvenation Pill, otherwise, your bones would have been rotten into mud, and, you know, back then, your mission was a failure, and it also caused a big disaster."

When Hades said this, he was a little jealous.

Demon Suppression Cliff is naturally a place of nine deaths and a lifetime, but not everyone has the opportunity to go, there were less than ten people who joined the Dragon Gang back then, and only Zhao Sihai had the opportunity to go there.

Only later...... The past is unbearable, and it is rare for Hades to look so excited.

He remembered the memories of the scenes twenty years ago, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

"But that's the only chance." Zhao Sihai sighed after a long time.

"Why does Xiao Bing want this elixir?" Hades asked suddenly.

Zhao Sihai told the ins and outs of the matter.

Hades was a little crying and laughing, and said, "I wonder if his brain is in water, is it worth it for a woman?" ”。

"Do you want him to be a ruthless man?" Zhao Sihai asked rhetorically.

Hades said: "I'd rather him be a ruthless and unrighteous person than let him go to the Demon Suppression Cliff!" Going there, it's almost like sending him to death, with his martial arts, it's impossible to come back alive, after all, he's just- well, when I didn't say anything, I admit it, I'm in a very conflicted mood right now, I'm thinking, in fact, your father and son still have one thing in common, such as both valuing love and righteousness, but I really can't understand it, you hanged yourself on a tree in your life, and he is good, getting into trouble everywhere, getting into a lot of debts, I'm really worried about him, how to deal with these feelings in the future! ”

"It's better to be affectionate than ruthless." Zhao Sihai sighed: "I'm also in a conflicted mood right now. ”

"So this matter, you still have to make it clear to him, everything, let him make his own decision, it's just that everything in our Dragon Gang can't be revealed to him, how does he know the danger of the Demon Suppression Cliff, I have a hunch, he will definitely agree!" Hades is not without worries.

Zhao Sihai was silent for a moment and said: "The road is his choice, as long as he doesn't regret it in the future, I will support his choice, our Zhao family, no one is afraid of death!" ”

"You're such a son!" Hades said a little unhappily: "You are his father, you are responsible." ”

"I know, you just feel sorry for him, who doesn't know that he is your closed disciple." Zhao Sihai glared at the king of Hades and got up to leave.

In the evening, the Zhao family's old house had a dinner.

There are two days left before the Spring Festival, which is considered an early reunion year.

Some of Zhao Bing's descendants all participated in this dinner, but the only one who did not participate was Zhao Wanxiong's wife Wu Qiong.

Everyone knows why she didn't come.

She didn't come, so naturally Zheng Wan'er didn't come.

In fact, although Zheng Wan'er is Zhao Bangguo's fiancée, in the Zhao family, the treatment she enjoys is indeed not very good, and no one really treats her as the Zhao family.

On the other hand, Wang Ruoyu is different.

Although she has not yet married Zhao Bing, she will definitely participate in any important things in the Zhao family.

This is what the old man meant, and naturally no one dares to criticize it.

And to have such an influence in the Zhao family, it is also due to herself, all along, she has not regarded herself as an outsider, she has always helped the Zhao family, and she is the most staunch supporter of the Zhao family.
