Jing Yi told me a lot of past events when he met his grandfather, "When I was still in power, King Lanzi's cultivation was equivalent to mine, we had met together many times to learn martial arts, at that time, Boke's cultivation was far above us, the Thousand Feather Clan and the Thousand Spirit Clan supported each other, and also successfully resisted Boke's many raids, and later, I could not continue to serve as the king of the Thousand Feather Clan because of my age and health, so I transferred the throne to my eldest daughter Qingxiao, that year, my second daughter Mengxi also got the top cultivation, with their sisters in charge, I gradually faded out of people's sight, and after that, I rarely saw King Lan Zi again, I only knew that a child with extraordinary spiritual power was born in the Thousand Spirit Clan. ”

Seeing that the old man in front of me and my grandfather were old friends, I gradually relaxed, "I'm sorry, when I first saw you, I thought of my grandfather, that's why I called you that!" ”

Jing Yi smiled lightly, "At first, I always doubted your identity, but now it seems that my doubts are unnecessary!" The last time I saw King Lan Zi was 13 years ago, I didn't expect to hear from him again, it turned out that he had died tragically at the hands of the King of the Thousand Shadows, child, do you have any plans for the future? ”

"I just want to continue to improve my cultivation and avenge the dead! I haven't thought about anything else yet! "I didn't hide what I was thinking.

"What about the Thousand Spirits? Aren't you going back? You told me before that King Lan Zi handed over the token of the Thousand Spirit Clan King to you before he died, and you shouldn't run away! ”

I glanced at the crystal bracelet in my hand, and my heart suddenly became extremely heavy, "The target of the Thousand Shadow Clan's killing is me, if all the things can be borne by me alone, but it has affected the entire emperor and grandpa." ”

Jing Yi sighed helplessly and said: "The Thousand Shadows Clan has experienced so many kings in history, but the current Wang Boke is an ambitious and ruthless person, he is not only cruel to his own people, but also to other races, but anyone who is found by him to have spiritual potential, either he recruits back to the Thousand Shadows Clan, or he chases and kills the other party all the way to death, and the Thousand Spirits Clan has paid a terrible price in order to protect you." ”

I bit my lip and didn't speak.

"If you don't want to go back for a while, just stay with me first, there are very few outsiders here, and you don't have to look like Mo anymore! When you feel that your cultivation is strong enough, you can make the next step! ”

I nodded, "Thank you, Grandpa Jingyi!" ”

Time flies quickly, half a year later, the ten waiters who came in at the same time as me have all passed the assessment, when Yu Xi came to pick them up and returned to the Drunken Qing Pavilion, I deliberately rushed to see them outside the gate on the first floor of the Moon Palace, compared to the appearance of half a year ago, the ten waiters gave people the feeling of being more obedient, the child called You'an, his cultivation was the most outstanding among the ten people, and there was already a second-level child spirit, maybe one day in the future, his status in the Zuiqing Pavilion would be the same as Yu Xi.

On that day, Shuiqing Palace ushered in the first snowfall of the year, and when I came back from the first floor, I saw Grandpa Jingyi sitting by the lake fishing.

"Fish for lunch today?" I asked casually, He Jingyi has lived for more than half a year, and his only favorite food is the fish in the 25-story lake, perhaps because of listening to Jing Yiqin's music all year round, the fish in the lake have become more spiritual than ordinary fish.

"Boy, come here, let my fish try your ice and fire illusion again!" Seeing me coming back, Jing Yi hurriedly summoned me.

Speaking of the ice and fire polar illusion, it is a new skill that I have recently comprehended, in the illusion ice and fire coexist in the same time and space, ** people who enter the illusion must bear the scorching bones of ice and the scorching fire at the same time.

I could only reluctantly agree to Jing Yi's "unreasonable" request, "My illusions have been used by you to cook food, how can you compensate me!" ”

Jing Yi raised the fishing rod in his hand, pretended to be angry and said, "You eat and live in my place for nothing every day, and you still come to ask me for compensation?" Besides, with my help, the piano skills you weren't good at are about to break through to the ultimate piano stage, and I'm not happy to let you use illusion to help me make a lunch. ”

"How dare you!" I chuckled, and then I opened my illusion and threw all the fish next to Jing Yi into it.

In the six months we have lived with Jing Yi, we have long regarded each other as friends, and although he is much older than me, sometimes his temper can be like that of a child. In addition to practicing piano skills, Jing Yi also spends half of her time pruning flowers and painting every day, because of him, I also like gardening and painting.

Half an hour later, I retracted the illusion, the fish that had experienced the polar environment of ice and fire, the taste was indeed more delicious than usual, that day, Jing Ye sat opposite me and watched me eat all the fish he caught, although he was furious, but he could only watch me enjoy the food alone, because I had already set up a barrier around me, and despite his exhaustion, the barrier was still intact.

"You kid, relying on your own cultivation to be higher than me, bullying me like this! I don't care, you are not allowed to practice swords this afternoon, just stay by this lake and fish for me, and let you go when I am satisfied with the catch! Jing Yi shouted, and when he said this, he had no idea that he was an old man of one hundred and eighty years old, and he completely ignored that the child sitting opposite him was only a child under the age of eleven.

Seeing Jing Yi's childishness coming up again, I couldn't help laughing, although I knew he wouldn't really care about me, but I still agreed to his request, "There are enough fish for dinner, as long as you dissipate your gas, you can do as much as you want." ”

Hearing my words, Jing Yi smiled proudly.

……

Four years later.

On the twenty-fifth floor of the Moon Death Palace, the former 10-year-old child has grown into a 14-year-old boy.

In the past four years, my cultivation has broken through from the fourth level of the super spirit to the sixth level, and Jing Yi has also broken through from the second level of the super spirit to the third level, in order to celebrate the improvement of our cultivation, Jing Yi drank a lot of wine for the first time, and he said that he has not been so happy for a long time. That day happened to be Jing Yi's one hundred and eighty-fourth birthday, and Qingxiao sent people to invite him back to the Qing Palace for a reunion many times, but he refused.

In the evening, after some piano skills with Jing Yi, I drank with him all night, and although he repeatedly said that children should not drink, I insisted on drinking with him until I collapsed drunken at the small square table outside the wooden house.

Jing Yi got up and carried me to the bed, and in a trance, I seemed to see my grandfather.

……

That night, I slept deeply, and in my dreams, I saw the back of the person in the plain white dress again, and her breath was so familiar.

The next day, as soon as I woke up, Jing Yi gave me an eviction order, and he had already packed all my bags, "You have grown up, it's time to leave the Moon Palace." ”

Seeing Jing Yi's pretended relaxed expression, I knew that he was actually reluctant to let me go, "Are you in such a hurry to drive me away?" Besides, if I'm gone, you'll have to be alone again. ”

Jing Yi smiled lightly and said: "You are different from me, you are in your youth, and I am in the twilight of my life, I can't let you spend all your good time with me as an old man, you still have a lot of things to experience in the future, I can see that you are indeed a gifted child, it took me a full forty years to break through from the second-level super spirit to the third-level, and it only took you four years to break through from the fourth level to the sixth level, this speed, even the king of the Thousand Shadows Clan, can only be beyond the reach of the dust." ”

I don't know what to say, Jing Yi at this time is more like a lonely old man, he is 184 years old, even if nothing else, his life is only 16 years left.

"By the way, there's something I want to tell you beforehand." Jing Yi continued: "You probably don't know the relationship between Qingxiao and Boke, all these years, Boke has been pursuing Qingxiao, I am against them being together, but Qingxiao does not listen to persuasion at all, which is why I live in seclusion alone on the twenty-fifth floor of the Moon Palace, I can't control her, so I have to let her go." In the past four years, Mo has been drunk in Qingge under your identity, if Qingxiao knows your true identity and cultivation, with her character, she will not necessarily let you go! Don't forget, even if your cultivation is now above her, there are still Burke and Mengxi behind her. ”

"Thank you grandpa for your reminder, I have understood Boke, as for this princess Mengxi, I have never seen her for so long since I came to the Thousand Feather Clan, I only remember that there is a snow cherry tree outside her dormitory! Exactly the same as in my dormitory. I said.

Speaking of snow cherry blossoms, Jing Yi's eyes suddenly had a little melancholy, "That snow cherry tree is actually a cage that imprisons Mengxi!" ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Because Mengxi's cultivation is in exchange for sacrificing lifelong freedom and 150 years of life! She has a dozen years left in her life at most! ”

I was shocked, for the first time I had heard of someone using longevity and freedom for such a thing.

"Qingxiao's cultivation was not enough, Mengxi was willing to sacrifice herself to make a deal with the snow cherry elf in order to protect her clansmen, and the snow cherry tree was left by the snow cherry elf, once Qingxiao went against their wishes, she would be severely punished by the elves."

"Who is the Snow Sakura Elf? What do they have to do with the snow cherry blossoms! I asked.

"They are a group of people with unfathomable cultivation, they do not belong to any race, and they never interfere in the affairs of any race, but as long as you have enough exchange conditions, they can fulfill all your wishes!"

I was silent, I thought that Mengxi's cultivation had reached its peak, but I never thought that there were mountains outside the mountain, outsiders there, what kind of people were the snow cherry elves in Jing Yi's mouth, they could give a person the cultivation of the tenth-level super holy spirit without much effort, then their cultivation.... I can't imagine it.

"Grandpa, I've decided to stay a little longer, at least, I can meet the legendary Princess Mengxi." I say.

Coming out of the Moon Palace, I returned to the Drunken Qing Pavilion, Ah Mo lived with Xiaoying and Dark, he had been a third-class waiter for four years with my face, and that night, I sent Ah Mo back to Nangong Yan's side and erased his memory again.

The snow cherry blossoms outside Mengxi's dormitory were more lush than before, and if it weren't for Jing Yi telling me about the existence of the snow cherry blossom elves, it would be difficult for me to associate these beautiful flowers with a group of elves.
