The third chapter is still restored, and the cheapness does not change

Mu Yu was extremely eager for flesh and blood at this time, and he liked the taste of blood very much.

At this time, Zhang San had been eaten by the evil mutant Mu Yu and only one finger was left, which was extremely miserable.

The current Mu Yu is no longer the original Mu Yu, the current Mu Yu exudes a frightening aura, and his red eyes reveal an evil glow.

"Hiss~" I want to eat meat,

Mu Yu's thin figure looked so creepy under the light of the waning moon, and Mu Yu continued to search for the disciples of the Evil God Sect under the thirst for blood.

Soon, Mu Yu relied on the dark night and his swift body to hunt down several lone disciples of the Evil God Sect again.

"Click, click" Mu Yu was frantically devouring the corpse of the disciple of the Evil God Sect at this time, and Mu Yu at this time looked extremely bloody and terrifying.

When Mu Yu finished devouring the corpses of several disciples of the Evil God Sect, suddenly Mu Yu's aura surged wildly again! The shadow under her feet suddenly changed, and an extremely evil and demonic power emanated from Mu Yu's shadow.

At this time, Mu Yu became even more evil and terrifying.

"It's not enough, it's not enough at all, I still have to eat meat" Mu Yu said in a hoarse and terrifying voice, and then hid in the darkness again after speaking.

"Kasah"

"What the hell is going on"? Evil Heaven asked angrily.

The elders below all shut up one after another, and they were all silent.

In the morning, the elders of the Evil God Sect found that the disciples of the Evil God Sect who had gone out to pursue the disciples of the Falling Moon Sect had returned less than a few dozen people.

When they went to investigate, they saw only bits and pieces of flesh and bones, and many bits and pieces of flesh and blood were found in various places.

Then they came to the conclusion that why only so few of their Evil God Sect disciples came back, the result must have been that they encountered something terrifying, and then they were killed and devoured their flesh and blood.

When the elders of the Evil God Sect came to this result, they were all shocked, what was it that killed so many disciples of their Evil God Sect, and it was so cruel.

"Waste" a bunch of waste, you are really useless, at this time the evil heaven is really angry, he spent a lot of manpower and material resources, quietly planned the plan to attack the Falling Moon Sect, originally this plan was seamless, but he spent a lot of money to bribe a senior elder of the Falling Moon Sect, and then cooperated with their Evil God Sect to ambush when the Falling Moon Sect was in a big competition.

Originally, things were developing smoothly according to the plan, and the Xuantian spirit was bound to win, but who knew that the Xuantian spirit would come out halfway and let the Xuantian spirit fly away, what is this called, the more the evil sky thought about it, the more angry he became.

Not to mention the heavy casualties among the disciples of the Evil God Sect, he was also full of colors, and it was also possible for the old immortals of other factions of the Evil God Sect to find an opportunity to remove him from the position of sect master.

"Get out" You all get out of here, if you don't catch that thing for me, you won't come back alive to see me! Evil Heaven said angrily.

"Yes, yes, yes" Let's get out of now, a group of elders below hurriedly responded.

"Get out" a bunch of waste, what use do I want you to have, all of them are rice buckets, and the evil world has a kind of hatred for iron and steel.

At this time, in a small forest in the Shushan Sword Sect, a cold beauty with long hair and a shawl, a beautiful appearance, a superb figure, and a skin that can be blown is bathing in a waterhole.

Just when this stunningly beautiful woman was happily bathing, a terrifying void crack suddenly appeared in front of him, and suddenly a strange man covered in injuries fell from the crack.

The man who suddenly appeared instantly frightened this extremely good-looking woman, Mu Bingyun hurriedly covered her private parts with her hands, and then hurriedly sank to the bottom of the lake.

I couldn't help but curse a "pervert" in my heart.

After a long time, Mu Bingyun felt that there had been no movement on the surface of the pool, so he secretly showed half of his head from the surface of the pool to check.

Mu Bingyun saw a strange man floating on the surface of the pool covered in blood, and the blood stained the surface of the pool.

"This person won't die, right?" Mu Bingyun asked, "After speaking, Mu Bingyun hurriedly swam to the edge of the pool and quickly got dressed.

He glanced back at the man who was covered in blood and fainted on the face of the pool, and hesitated in his heart, "Do you want to save him" but he didn't know him, and it didn't take long for him to have an answer in his heart.

Then Mu Bingyun stepped on the water waves, and came to the faint Peng Wuving, hesitated for a moment, then grabbed Peng Wuving's tattered clothes on his back with one hand, and quickly grabbed him on the water and ran on the water.

"I'm so tired" Mu Bingyun panted, it seemed that he hadn't practiced light skills yet, and he was so struggling just to take a person on the water.

Mu Bingyun lightly bandaged Peng Wuving, cleaned up the wound, looked at Peng Wuving's tight and strong muscles, and couldn't help but blush slightly, and then carried him on his back towards the Shushan Sword Sect.

At this time, the residence of the sect master of the Shushan Sword Sect.

I didn't expect that the old dog of Xuandao actually cultivated magic skills, and I have never seen this kind of magic skills, and the quality of magic skills is extremely high.

As he spoke, Jian Wuchen used his true qi again to eliminate the demonic qi left in his body.

"Huh" is so troublesome, the quality of this demonic qi is extremely high, and the origin is definitely not small, how did you get this Xuandao.

At this time, this demonic qi was wantonly destroying Jian Wuchen's meridians, devouring the true qi in his body.

This demonic qi is extremely difficult, even if he forcibly suppresses it with his true qi, but it will attack again in a few moments, and every time the demonic qi attacks will damage and eat away at his meridians, it will bring him intense and incomparably painful pain every time, as if his body was bitten by thousands of ants, the pain is unbearable, and the sword Wuchen, who is extremely tenacious in forgiveness, is also frowning at the pain.

"Knock knock" There was a knock outside the door.

"What's the matter" Jian Wuchen asked, and then Jian Wuchen pretended to have a breezy expression, he didn't want the injury to be exposed.

"The head of the sect" is me,

It's Red Frost, come in, do you have anything to do with me? Jian Wuchen asked.

Saying that, a devil figure, a beautiful woman walked in, he exuded a faint fragrance that made people's hearts burn, this woman's temperament is extremely charming, and people with a weak mind are easily captured by his temperament, so as to fall in love.

"Red Frost" I haven't seen you for so long and you are still so charming, Jian Wuchen said lightly.

"Giggles" Anyone with a beautiful woman like me can be charmed, but it can't charm you, Hongshuang said charmingly.

In the face of such a charming and beautiful woman, Jian Wuchen, who looked down on Hongchen, also lost his mind for a short time.

"Say" What is the matter with you coming to me, Jian Wuchen asked with a breezy expression.

There are a few things, the first thing is that the Tianyue Mountain Range, the largest mountain range in the Zhou Dynasty, has recently experienced frequent waves of fierce beasts, and several cities bordering it have been completely destroyed.

"What" and this kind of thing? Jian Wuchen asked suspiciously.

"Hmm" The scale of these waves of fierce beasts is not small, I suspect that someone is doing something from this, Hongshuang mused.

"It's possible" Fierce beasts generally don't take the initiative to attack human cities, there must be someone in control of them, Jian Wuchen replied affirmatively.

I think so too, if it's really manipulative, then what is his purpose? Will this wave of ferocious beasts further expand the scope of the disaster?

"I can't figure this out for the time being" After all, we have too little information, but these are not things we can worry about, after all, there are tall people on top of the sky falling, and someone in the dynasty will deal with this matter.

"By the way," I have something else to report to me.

At this time, Hongshuang hesitated slightly.

At this moment, Hongshuang's expression naturally couldn't escape Jian Wuchen's eyes, and then Jian Wuchen asked, what is Hongshuang's matter?

Hongshuang glanced at Jian Wuchen and said in a low voice, Senior Sister Lime has news......

"What" Hearing this, Jian Wuchen's pupils shrank instantly, and then he grabbed Red Frost Fragrance's shoulder with an excited face and asked.

"Really" Is there really any news of Sister Lime? At this time, Jian Wuchen still had the calm demeanor just now, and he was like a child who had bought a toy at this time.

"Ah...... "Senior Brother Wuchen, you scratched me, Hongshuang said a little complainingly.

At this time, Hongshuang couldn't help but scold in her heart, "Hmph" This dead ghost, there is only that woman in my heart, I am not as good as him, I want to have a figure, not to mention the world's first, but the words "top face", "alluring the country and the city", and bringing disaster to the country and the people are also very suitable on his face.

Jian Wuchen also noticed that he seemed to be a little out of shape, but he couldn't help it, because he was so happy.

Jian Wuchen smiled after a long absence,

Hongshuang smiled happily when he saw Jian Wuchen, he instantly regretted telling Jian Wuchen the news, and simply rotted the news in his stomach, and after waiting for a long time, Jian Wuchen slowly forgot about the lime, so wouldn't he Hongshuang be able to take advantage of it? Then I took an aphrodisiac, cooked raw rice and cooked rice, and dangled in front of him every day with the cub, I didn't believe that he didn't accept me, but unfortunately it was too late......

He really regrets it now, what did he do?

Jian Wuchen looked at Senior Sister Hongshuang who was complaining, he smiled awkwardly, of course he knew Senior Sister Hongshuang's feelings for him, but there is a good saying, love is not something that comes out, but falls into.

"Hmph," and then Hongshuang snorted very arrogantly.

Then Jian Wuchen excitedly asked Hongshuang: Hongshuang quickly tell me where the lime is.

Hongshuang glanced at Jian Wuchen, and then said very arrogantly, I have walked such a long way, I am very thirsty......

When Jian Wuchen heard this, he didn't say a word, and at a lightning speed, he took his most precious tea and flattered it to Hongshuang.

"......" Hongshuang was speechless, and then said again, I was tired from walking, and my bones hurt all over my body, "Oops"

When Jian Wuchen heard this again, he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: This Nizi is a little difficult, and then looked at Hongshuang's playful expression, there is a feeling that if you don't serve me comfortably, satisfied, and happy today, even if you kill me today, I won't tell where Lime is.

Jian Wuchen smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that he has to behave well today.

Then Jian Wuchen put his hands on Red Frost Fragrance's shoulders and kneaded them gently.

"Uh-huh" Yes, yes, the technique is good, Hongshuang said with a look of enjoyment.

"Your hand can be a little harder" Yes, that's it, comfortable~

Then Jian Wuchen said flatteringly: My beautiful and beautiful little sister of Red Frost, please tell me where the lime is.

Then Hongshuang glanced at Jian Wuchen, and his expression seemed to say, Jian Wuchen, you are powerful.

"Don't worry" Can you not be so excited, like a child, you must know that you are almost fifty people.

Jian Wuchen smiled awkwardly.

Then Hongshuang replied a little complainingly, and the Gu sect spy replied, he seems to have seen your lime sister when he was on a mission in the Land of Annihilation, so I guess your sister Lime may be in the Land of Annihilation!

"Land of Silence" Jian Wuchen was shocked when he heard the news, followed by a period of silence, and finally Jian Wuchen said with a lost expression, "Sure enough" Senior Sister Lime is still hating herself.

At this time, Hongshuang was silent when she heard Jian Wuchen's whisper.

"Alas" is it really irretrievable? Jian Wuchen lost Nan Nan Dao, and then Jian Wuchen seemed to be dozens of years old, but it was a pity that fate loved to play tricks on the rest of the people.

Hongshuang felt a pain in her heart when she saw Jian Wuchen's lost appearance, and wanted to comfort Jian Wuchen.

"Dustless" is fine, everything will be fine, Hongshuang comforted.

"It's okay" Then Jian Wuchen smiled indifferently and said, I, Jian Wuchen, have seen through Hongchen, and I have long been not concerned by the love of my children, so Hongshuang, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine.

"Alas" Hongshuang heard these words, and then sighed deeply, sighing, emotions are really hurtful.

At this time, the Shushan Sword Sect was in a courtyard.

"Mu Bingyun, how did you save him, you must tell the truth about this matter," Jian Wuchen said to the core disciple Mu Bingyun.

"It's the Suzerain"

"Here's the thing" At that time, I was practicing my sword in the grove behind the sect, and when I was practicing to the point of fascination, a crack suddenly appeared in the void, and then I ran into him, here Mu Bingyun of course concealed the situation when he was taking a bath in the waterhole, otherwise how embarrassing it would be to say it.

"I see," Jian Wuchen said in a low voice.

At that time, when Jian Wuchen heard that the disciple would report that a core female disciple named Mu Bingyun had picked up a man covered in blood in the mountain behind the sect, and when he fell from the void crack, Jian Wuchen suddenly felt that this was not a trivial matter.

When he entered the room and saw the man lying on the bed covered in wounds, Rao is sword Wuchen, who had passed through the wind and waves, was also in a trance in his heart.

"Is this providence?" Jian Wuchen couldn't help but sigh, this person had saved his life, and he wanted to arrange a position for him as a core disciple in order to thank him.

Mu Bingyun next to him was also a little puzzled, seeing that the sect master was afraid that he knew this man like this, he felt that the person he saved casually was a bit of a background, and then he was very happy in his heart, "Hehe" The reward that the sect master gave me must be a lot.

"Your name is Mu Bingyun, right?" Jian Wuchen asked Mu Bingyun.

"Yes, Sect Master," Mu Bingyun replied respectfully.

"Hmm" You did a good job, and then Jian Wuchen took out a token from the storage ring and gave it to Mu Bingyun, and then said: With this, you can go to the resource hall to get a Xuan-level exercise book at will, and 10,000 points.

Mu Bingyun jumped up excitedly when he heard the sect master's words, and he was very happy in his heart, it was a Xuan-level exercise and 10,000 points, which was equivalent to the salary of a core disciple for more than ten years.

"Thank you, Sect Master," Mu Bingyun forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then replied gratefully.

"Hmm" Then you can go down first, "by the way" you can keep this matter a secret, don't tell it to others, you know? Jian Wuchen said lightly to Mu Bingyun.

"Yes," Mu Bingyun replied.

Then Mu Bingyun walked out of the room.

"Hahahaha" My God, the sect master is really super generous, he actually gave me so many points and exercises, at this time, he didn't have his usual cold face at all, but smiled like a child who bought candy.

"Hmph" With this 10,000 points and Xuan-level exercises, when the time comes, the core disciple will definitely be able to take the first place, and then beat those nasty men hard, Mu Bingyun smiled secretly in his heart, humming a small song as he spoke, and walked towards the resource hall with arrogant steps.

Jian Wuchen saw Mu Bingyun leave.

"If I'm not mistaken, you seem to be called Peng Wuving, this is indeed a very arrogant name."

The word invincible is how many people want to really have, invincible not only represents the supreme glory, but also represents a heavy responsibility, if you can really go to the top in the future, then you will understand what I said.

After saying this, Jian Wuchen secretly mocked himself, and said: "Why am I talking these big truths to a faint person, is it because I am too stressed, and I already have some nervousness" After saying this, he smiled alone, and then shook his head and walked out of the room.

A few days later.

"Alas" Now the situation in the entire Zhou Dynasty is becoming more and more chaotic, I am afraid that the Zhou Dynasty will soon have a big turmoil, I don't know if I can protect the Shushan Sword Sect at that time.

At this time, Jian Wuchen was alone on the edge of a high mountain and a steep cliff in the sect, Jian Wuchen looked more and more haggard during this time, and his long hair fluttering in the wind also appeared a few shades of white, which was extremely dazzling.

"Sect Master" "Sect Master" At this time, a disciple shouted.

Jian Wuchen glanced back and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Sect Master, the man in that ward has woken up," the disciple replied truthfully.

"Well, I see," Jian Wuchen got up and flew in the direction of the ward after saying this.

At this time, Peng Wushu had already woken up, and he was now very hesitant and confused, his eyes were dull, and his expression was in a trance, like a walking corpse.

The scene of the Falling Moon Sect being destroyed by the Xuan Dao kept appearing in his mind repeatedly, and he watched as the sect leader Xue Luo was killed by the Xuan Dao in order to protect him, but he was powerless.

"Ah" Peng Wushu covered his very painful head with one hand, and kept shouting "don't" in his mouth, and tears of remorse continued to flow out of his eyes.

At this time, Jian Wuchen also pushed open the door and came to the room.

Jian Wuchen also felt a pain in his heart when he saw Peng Wushu looking so lonely and sad.

"Jian Wuchen senior......" Peng Wudi also saw Jian Wuchen who walked into the door at this time, he was a little incredulous, he didn't expect to see Jian Wuchen here again.

"Hmm" Jian Wuchen responded, and then asked gently, Invincible little brother, what's the matter with you, are you in any trouble? You can talk to me, maybe I can help you.

Peng Wuving's eyes felt a little hot when he heard this, and then Peng Wuving's eyes were full of self-blame and deep pain.

"Little Brother Peng" At this time, Jian Wuchen saw Peng Wuxian's painful face, and he didn't know how to comfort him.

"Sword Wuchen senior" Then Peng Wushu choked up and said: My ...... Mine, my sect was destroyed by the Xuandao...... The sect master and the senior brother and junior brother were all dead, and after saying this, Peng Wushu choked up and cried.

"What" Jian Wuchen was shocked when he heard these words, and then he felt deep sympathy for Peng Wuxian.

Jian Wuchen couldn't help but feel a pain in Peng Wudi's heart, he was just a teenager who was not even a teenager of double ten, but he had to let him face such a cruel catastrophe of extermination.

Thinking of this, Jian Wuchen seemed to see what he would look like in the future, and then sighed, "Will I become like this in the future?"

With his current strength, he is not at all sure that he will protect the sect in the turbulence in the future, Jian Wuchen couldn't help but think sadly.

"Alas" At this time, Jian Wuchen glanced at Peng Wuxian, whose face was full of pain, and sighed, this world is too cruel.

"Invincible" "You can recuperate well here" Everything will pass, Jian Wuchen said sympathetically.

"Hmm," Peng replied with a look on his face.

"No ......" Jian Wuchen seemed to think of something, so he didn't continue to speak.

Then Jian Wuchen glanced at Peng Wuchen, then gently closed the door and left.

This is a spiritual calamity for Peng Wuving, and if he can't survive it, Peng Wuving will live forever in self-blame and deep pain in this life, doing nothing in his life, and being extremely bald.

After surviving it, Peng Invincible will turn hatred into strength, move forward bravely, and make great progress, and the carp will jump over the dragon gate and finally turn into a dragon.

At this time, Peng Wushu walked out of the ward, walking alone and confused in the Shushan Sword Sect.

Soon after, he walked to the edge of a high mountain and a steep cliff, "Alas" At this time, Peng Wushu sighed deeply, his mind was now in chaos, and then he sighed, I'm afraid that this is how a madman is refined.

He found a stone and sat on it, thinking, remembering his past.

He suddenly had a feeling of being in a different world, thinking of everything that had happened in his previous life, and he suddenly realized that he had always been a lonely person, and he didn't even have a person who was really worth confiding in.

Then Peng Wudi smiled helplessly, looking at the mountains and buildings in the distance, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't know what to think.

One day, two days, three days, Peng Wushu still sat motionless on the stone.

The disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect who passed by also discovered the person sitting on the stone one after another.

"Hey", why did that guy sit all the time?

"I don't know," one of the disciples replied with a puzzled face.

The fourth and fifth days are still the same.

At this time, the Shushan Sword Sect also spread this matter, and many disciples were also curious to watch.

Some disciples thought he was crazy, while others thought he was comprehending a certain artistic conception there, and many disciples speculated.

Jian Wuchen, who was standing in the distance, also sighed gloomily when he saw Peng Wuchen's situation, "Alas"

Time flies, and half a month later, many disciples no longer come here to watch, what to do, they have slowly become accustomed to it.

Some kind-hearted disciples stepped forward to care, and when they saw Peng Wuving's empty eyes, they gave up one after another.

A month later,

"Hahahaha" A burst of wild laughter resounded throughout the mountain. "I figured it out, I can't just go on bald, I want to uphold the sect master's expectations for me, I want to cheer up, I want to be crazy and stronger, and when I get stronger, I must go back to Xuandao for revenge!"

What's the use of being bald all day long, can you get what you lose back? Could it be that the strength can be increased for no reason? Could it be that Xuan Dao will stand in vain, and you can't kill it?

Recover yourself, and when Uncle Ben is strong enough to crush you, it will be when I, Peng Invincible, will kill your Xuandao!

At this time, on a mountain peak, a gaze seemed to penetrate the layers of void,

looked at Peng Wuving, and then showed a smile of relief.

"It's good to be able to get out"

Peng Wudi looked at his system panel at this time,

Dimensional Weapon Systems

Host: Peng Invincible

Cultivation: The early stage of the little martial arts master

Cultivation exercises: "Heavenly Dragon Decision" returns to the basics, "Lonely Sword Technique" is perfect, and "Flirting Yin Feet" enters the room.

Weapons: King's Treasure, Obedient Sword EA, Heavenly Lock, Yellow Rank Treasure Nogan, Xuantian Spirit.

"Huh?" Peng Wushu also discovered an extra Xuantian spirit in the system backpack at this time, "What is this?" I don't think I've ever won this one,"

Then he took the Xuantian Spirit out of the system, "What is this?" At this time, in Peng Wudi's hands, it was a diamond-shaped crystal that was white without a trace of impurities.

The sunlight was extremely dazzling under the reflection of the diamond-shaped crystal, "Huh, this is quite beautiful, but I don't know how to use it, he tried it with his true qi just now, but he couldn't get in the true qi."

"No matter, just put it in the system backpack first, and then have time to study him well.

Then Peng Wushu felt that he was hungry to death, and his stomach protested wildly in his stomach, as if to say that if you don't give me a good meal today, I will starve you to death.

Peng Wudi smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't eaten for a month, and my stomach is going to strike."

Where are you going to eat? Peng Wushu couldn't help but think.

At this moment, Jian Wuchen flew to Peng Wudi's side.

"Sword Wuchen senior" Peng Wushu called out a little surprised.

"Well, it's great that you're able to pick yourself up again," Jian Wuchen said with relief.

"Sword Wuchen senior...... Peng Wudi was a little embarrassed, and asked with a blushing face, have you been paying attention to me all this time?

"Yes," Jian Wuchen replied with a smile.

"Ah......" "This ......" Peng Wudi's heart was a little warm at this time.

"Okay, don't say more, presumably you haven't eaten for a month, your stomach has already been protesting wildly," Jian Wuchen asked softly.

"Uh...... Kindly," Peng Wudi replied a little embarrassed.

"Then let's go eat," Jian Wuchen smiled.

"Hmm," Peng Wudi replied with warmth in his heart.

Then Peng Wushu followed Jian Wuchen to a house with a beautiful environment and full of fairy energy.

"Invincible, you wait here for a while, I'll go fry a few plates of my best dishes for you"

"What, dustless senior, you actually stir-fried for me personally......"

I saw Jian Wuchen smile gently, "Yes, I haven't personally stir-fried and eaten it for a long time, don't you mind if it's not delicious when the time comes" After saying that, Jian Wuchen floated away.

"Dustless seniors......" At this time, Peng Wudi was very moved in his heart, it turned out that there were good people in this world, such as dustless seniors.

He understood that Jian Wuchen's predecessor wanted to soothe his dead heart, and then Peng Wushu secretly swore that I will never forget your kindness, and I will definitely repay you when I become stronger in the future.

Soon, plates of fragrant meals were brought by the maid.

"Come, invincible little brother, come and taste the dishes I copied myself" Jian Wuchen said with a smile.

"Hmm" Then Peng Wushu picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of bacon into his mouth, and in an instant, a wonderful taste collided unscrupulously on the tip of his tongue.

"This, this is also so delicious, I have never eaten such a delicious meal" Peng Wudi said with surprise.

"Hehe, of course, the dishes I fried were the best in the past, especially limes" Speaking of this, Jian Wuchen's eyes dimmed slightly.

"Mmmm" Wuchen's predecessors are not only handsome, strong, and good-hearted, but also the dishes are so delicious.

"Hahaha" Jian Wuchen smiled wisely when he heard this.

Peng Wushu saw Jian Wuchen's smile, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Jian Wuchen is a real man, he is simply a benchmark for men, and such a man must be very popular with women.

Saying that, Peng Wushu swept the food on the table, and the sword Wuchen was stunned.

Peng Wudi seemed to have noticed that he was a little out of shape, so he couldn't help blushing, and then smiled embarrassedly, I'm sorry, Wuchen senior, because the dishes you copied are so delicious, my tongue is about to melt deliciously, so I'm really embarrassed.

"What's the matter, as long as you eat happily, I'll be happy" Jian Wuchen also smiled happily at this time, he found the happiness that had disappeared for a long time.
