The atmosphere in the inn was tense and depressing, and in the dense forest, Xia Qing was also nervous, silently observing from a distance.

Behind the little girl, in addition to the extremely burly deadwood warrior Kulian City, there were also several strangely dressed masters, each of whom did not seem to have any fluctuations in strength in his body, and his cultivation was terrifyingly high. One of them was still a little familiar, and after a closer look, Xia Qing found that it was the lame stall owner he had seen in the Seven Star Rock Ghost Market.

This guy doesn't have a hint of despondency now, but his eyes are sharp and aggressive, and his messy hair looks a little weird, like a lot of braids, and it is constantly squirming. Xia Qing opened the demon pupil and saw what kind of braid it was, and it was clearly a lot of small snakes that were entangled.

A hair is a snake!

What kind of supernatural power is this, and who is this lame old man?

Xia Qing's heart was shocked, and he felt numb in his scalp from afar, and he didn't dare to stare at it anymore.

The lame old man She Panshan seemed to sense Xia Qing's gaze, and glanced at the bushes intentionally or unintentionally.

No one spoke, and there was a long silence on both sides.

The wind was not strong, but it was getting colder and colder, and snowflakes were wafting in the air.

After a long time, the little girl was the first to break the silence, her voice seemed to be even older, and she said to Yu Qi Niang: "Holy Aunt, the brothers and sisters of the Holy Sect miss you very much, come back." ”

"It's impossible, I won't go back when I come out, I'm no longer the holy aunt of Zoroastrianism. ”

Yu Qiniang refused, her voice was colder than a snowflake, "Besides, even if I am willing to go back with you, I can't leave without the old man's consent." Elder Shangguan, please go back. ”

The little girl was not angry, and looked at the old shopkeeper sitting next to Yu Qiniang, "Lord Zhou Mu, let our holy aunt go and let her go back with the old man, how about it?"

"Hehe, the old man has no opinion. ”

The old shopkeeper looked like a good old man with a smile, kicked the ball to Yu Qi Niang, and said: "Over the years, Qi Niang has lived well in the mountains. Elder Shangguan, as long as you convince her, you can take her out of here at any time. There are fewer people in the inn, and the old man's ears are quieter. ”

Shangguan Yuhong, who looked like a little girl, was speechless, knowing that the old shopkeeper was really soft and hard, although her cultivation was super strong, she didn't dare to be hard in front of a dignified state pastor at will, so she had to look at Yu Qiniang again, "Holy aunt, the old body is also responsible for the things back then, and the fault for losing the Bright Flame can't be blamed on you alone, it's Xiahou Xuanfeng who is too fierce and treacherous." The past is gone, and as long as you come back, everything is not to blame, how about it?"

"Elder Shangguan, I have already said that it is impossible to go back. Yu Qiniang still refused, and there was no room for negotiation. When she first walked out of Zoroastrianism, she didn't think about going back.

"Holy Aunt, you can blame me for being stupid back then and ignoring me anymore, but did you just let go of the head of the Heavenly Master Xiahou Xuanfeng and forget all the things of the year?" Shangguan Yuhong stared at Yu Qiniang.

Yu Qiniang was silent, but a touch of pain flashed in her eyes, as if she remembered something unbearable from the past.

Over the years, she has been cultivating in Wuzhou and living an almost isolated life, but some people and some things will not be forgotten even if they are hundreds of years away.

The cold wind blew, and there was a long silence.

Alas, Shangguan Yuhong sighed and broke the silence again, "As long as we don't snatch the Bright Flame back from Xiahou Xuanfeng's hands, our Holy Sect will not be able to conceive and give birth to a new sect leader." There is no sect master, there is no holy aunt, more than 20 years have passed like this, and the hearts of the people in the holy religion have been scattered. Once the limit of the old body is completely reached, I am afraid that the Holy Sect will really perish, Holy Aunt, can you really bear to watch the Holy Sect go to that day?"

Yu Qi Niang's face was moved, "Elder Shangguan, your Holy Fire Divine Skill has already been practiced to the sixth layer, don't you say that you are already immortal, how can you ......?"

"In this world, there is no real immortality, there is no such thing. Shangguan Yuhong smiled bitterly, her face gloomy, "Counting it, the old body is already the sixth reincarnation, and every time it is reborn, it loses half of its vitality, and it is impossible to continue to extend its life through this method." Shall we, Holy Aunt, make a bet?"

"How to gamble?" Yu Qiniang asked.

"It's very simple, just bet on the invasion of Emperor Dakang Zhao Zixuan this time. ”

Shangguan Yuhong paused and said, "If Zhao Zixuan wins, Holy Aunt you can continue to be free, you can do whatever you want;

There was silence inside and outside the inn, Shangguan Yuhong's words were moving, and so was Xia Qing, who was far away in the dense forest.

It was only now that he finally understood Shangguan Yuhong's true identity and the purpose of her coming to the Shanren Inn. It turned out that Xia Qing thought that she was here to seek revenge from the old shopkeeper, but she didn't expect that she came for her aunt Yu Qiniang.

"Elder, according to the rules of our Holy Sect that have been passed down from generation to generation, the Holy Fire Divine Skill can only be cultivated by the Sect Masters and Supreme Elders of the past dynasties, this is ......" She Panshan was anxious, shocked by Shangguan Yuhong's words. Saint Gu Yu Qi Niang was already famous for her lawlessness and profound skills in the past, once she cultivated the Holy Fire Divine Skill, she was afraid that no one in Zoroastrianism would be able to suppress her at all, let alone investigate her past sins.

"She Zuo, rules are dead, people are alive. The strength of the Heavenly Dao Sect is monstrous, and if we don't think about it, our Zoroastrian religion will really perish. I declare that no matter whether the bet is won or lost, from now on the past mistakes of the Holy Aunt will be written off, and no one shall mention it again. To be disrespectful to the Holy Aunt is to be disrespectful to the old man and body, and to be disrespectful to the past generations of the Sect Masters of our Holy Sect!"

Shangguan Yuhong glanced at She Panshan and the others, and said, "Everyone, do you understand?"

"Yes!"

The Zoroastrian masters bowed down in unison to receive the order.

Yu Qiniang's face was moved, and she didn't seem to expect Shangguan Yuhong to say this, her mouth moved as if she wanted to say something, and then swallowed it again and continued to be silent.

"Holy Aunt, how's it going?"

Shangguan Yuhong looked at Yu Qi Niang, and everyone's eyes fell on the latter, to see how she answered. After agreeing to Shangguan Yuhong's request, Yu Qiniang may be able to get out of Wuzhou and become a Zoroastrian saint under one person and above tens of thousands of people again, even more powerful than before, and is expected to become the first person in the Holy Sect after cultivating the Holy Fire Divine Skill!

Yu Qiniang continued to be silent for a long time, and then said: "Elder, are you so optimistic about Zhao Zixuan, do you think that this invasion of the Dakang Dynasty will inevitably fail?"

"No, it's just the opposite, Zhao Zixuan is eloquent and strategic, and it is very likely that he will swallow Wuzhou in one go. It is precisely because the old body is very likely to lose that he uses this to make a bet with the Holy Aunt, otherwise, will you agree to the Holy Aunt?" Shangguan Yuhong asked rhetorically, in order to invite Yu Qiniang to come back out of the rivers and lakes, she really tried her best.

Yu Qiniang fell silent again.

According to common sense, she has a high probability of winning, and no matter how powerful the masters of Wuzhou are, it will be difficult to compete with the huge war machine of the Dakang Dynasty. If you win, you will not only be in charge of Zoroastrianism again, but you can also cultivate the powerful Holy Fire Divine Skill and become the first person of the Holy Sect, and then find the head of the Heavenly Master Xiahou Xuanfeng to take revenge and regain the Holy Fire Flame!

To bet or not to bet?

Yu Qi Niang's heart also began to waver.
