Fang Zhou stretched out his hand to Chu He, and Chu He's heart was beating "poof, poof".

Fang Zhou's big hand got closer and closer, and gently placed it on Chu He's shoulder: "Okay, I promise you." ”

At the same time, the oppression on the ark dissipated, the dark clouds dissipated, and the sun shone on the earth.

Chu He's eyes turned red when he heard Fang Zhou say it himself, and he finally succeeded.

This may be the hardest thing she has ever done since she was a child, but after success, she has a sense of accomplishment.

The Rose sisters were also relieved when they heard this, Miss succeeded, and they were sincerely happy for Chu He.

Fang Zhou put back his tears in the scabbard, and said to Chu He, who was overflowing with joy: "Don't be happy too early, as my apprentice, it's not so simple, first of all, as my apprentice, you can't disobey me." ”

"Well, Master, I'll listen..."

Chu He was about to agree, but she thought of something and hurriedly added, "But, Master, there are some things that can't be done. ”

"Huh? That kind of thing? ”

Chu He glanced at Fang Zhou vigilantly and tightened his clothes.

Fang Zhou didn't understand it at first, but when he saw Chu He's cautious look, he immediately understood, he didn't expect this little girl to know a lot.

Fang Zhou said with a look of disgust: "I am the master, not a pervert. You don't have to look at me like that in the future. ”

Chu He looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, Master." ”

"Okay, hold my hand."

Fang Zhou stretched out his hand to Chu He.

"Yes, Master."

Chu He gently put his hand on the palm of the ark, and the palm of the ark was not warm, but a little cool. Chu He's face was slightly red, except for his father, this was the first time Chu He had physical contact with a man.

......

The reason why the ark went to shake Chu He's hand was not to be obscene, but to follow an ancient and sacred tradition.

"Sit down, close your eyes, and relax."

"Yes, Master."

After Fang Zhou took Chu He's little hand and sat down, their figures gradually became blurred, but they did not disappear completely.

"Miss."

Wei looked at Chu He's appearance and was a little worried, but Qiang grabbed her and shook her head at her: "I believe it, Miss's choice." ”

Rose sat next to Chu He, guarding her.

Looking at the uncertain appearance of the two, Rose was also quite frightened, and the methods of the shadow master were really like ghosts.

……

Chu He opened her eyes again and found that she was in a quaint and mysterious hall at this time.

The first thing that catches your eye is a huge humanoid statue at the end of the main hall, the head of which is shrouded in darkness and makes it impossible to see the face.

The statue looked down on a large stone table in the center of the main hall, and several chairs were neatly placed around the stone table, but the chairs were covered with dust at this time, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time.

Next to it are two stout stone pillars, each of which has a large flag painted with a mysterious totem.

There was a huge crack in the roof of the main hall, and the sunlight shone through the crack into the dark hall, and it was reflected on the stone table in the center.

But now it seems to be dusk, and the sunlight shining in is a little dim, barely illuminating the stone table, which can be said to be between light and darkness, existing in shadows.

......

Chu He's footsteps landed on the ground, raising tiny dust.

After Chu He's feet fell, in addition to raising dust, it also woke up this long-sleeping place.

The place where Chu He landed was the first to be lit up with starlight, and then the starlight lit up the adjacent place, and then it also lit up, and the starlight spread like wildfire.

A moment later, the flat hall floor was now transformed into a giant star map.

There are slowly rotating elliptical disk-shaped galaxies, colorful nebulae, glowworm-like clusters gathered in the dark, meteoroids with long tails, and more often than not, deep darkness...

Looking at the ever-changing star map under his feet, at this moment, Chu He seemed to feel the entire universe.

And the universe, at her feet.

......

Although she stepped on the star chart, she felt pressure.

As the saying goes, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. If you don't bear its weight, you will suffer from it.

Chu He couldn't bear this star map, so all it brought her was pressure.

This made Chu He a little scared: "Master, where are you?" ”

"I'm here."

The voice of the ark sounded in the empty hall, and Chu He hurriedly ran over to the sound.

The Ark was standing quietly under the statue, not knowing what to think.

Chu He didn't bother her, but now he was silently watching the ark behind her back.

......

Ark looked at the statue and said softly, "The shadow is still there, but it is no longer human." ”

Chu He looked at the back of the ark, and the ark at this time gave her an extremely lonely feeling.

After a long time, Fang Zhou would turn around and smile slightly, but the smile was a little bitter: "Long goodbye, some emotion, long wait." ”

......

Chu He said: "Master, where is this?" ”

"The center of the universe, the place where light and darkness meet, its name is the Temple of Shadows."

"Hall of Shadows." Chu He read the name, and then said honestly: "Master, I haven't heard of it. ”

"Yes, after all, it's been so many years, and it's normal that you haven't heard of it."

Fang Zhou's tone changed, as if Mount Tai was unshakable:

"But I'm sure to make this square inch of land the center of the universe again. Let its name be engraved in the heart of every intelligent creature. ”

......

Fang Zhou was silent for a moment and said:

"Half-kneel."

Although Chu He didn't understand why, he still did as Fang Zhou said: "Yes, Master." ”

Chu He half-knelt down, she had never done this kind of thing before, but this time she had no intention of resisting in her heart, and even felt that it should have been so.

After Chu He half-knelt down, Fang Zhou grabbed her right hand, and the two looked at each other at this time.

But at this time, the hearts of the two were extremely solemn, and there was no trace of distraction.

The Ark was the first to speak: "I'm the Ark." ”

Chu He was very smart and continued: "I Chu He." ”

(Together)"The contract of mentorship is hereby concluded. ”

"The apprentice does not betray the teacher, and the teacher does not abandon the apprentice."

"Two hearts against each other for eternity."

"Light and darkness are proof, and the oath of shadows is an oath."

"If there is a disobedience, the shadow will abandon the gods and kill them."

.....

After doing all this, after Fang Zhou asked Chu He to get up, he didn't speak again, just looked at the hall silently.

And Chu He stood obediently behind the ark.

......

Bai Qi said quietly: "Fang Zhou, you used the master-apprentice contract, it seems that you have remembered a lot of things." ”

"Yes."

"Since you have chosen the master-apprentice contract, it seems that you are serious."

"It's just a matter of sincerity for sincerity."

"Sincerity for sincerity, hope." Bai Qi looked a little undeniable.

……。

The ideological conversation between Fang Zhou and Bai Qi had ended in an instant.

When Fang Zhou left with Chu He, he glanced at the ancient hall again, and at this moment, his tone was low but extremely firm: "I will definitely come back." ”
