"Ahh The person leaning on the Taishi chair shook his head vigorously, coughed twice, and didn't know what kind of emotions were contained in a pair of cloudy old eyes.

Outside the door, which had not been opened for several years, was a huge underground palace. Near the old man's retreat, the zenith was filled with candles, as if there had never been night. Nearby is a large mine that has been developed for almost three decades. Although the area is lit up day and night, the miners prefer to come only when they are out to work.

And at this time of year, there will be about twenty days when the leylines in the mine need to heal and no one will come to mine. The roots of the next year's produce are then grown. Maybe it's a precious spirit stone when it grows up, or maybe it's an ordinary iron ore. If you're unlucky, you might just break a rock.

"Hmm..."North of Blackwater City, under the Valley of the Falling Wind. Although the fighting has intensified, it does not seem to have affected the daily lives of the residents around Wanxiang Lake.

There are a few anglers scattered on the shore of Wanxiang Lake. In the afternoon, the sun is soft, and some elderly anglers doze off with their rods unconsciously.

The old man with the long-brimmed hat suddenly woke up, and the water surface of the fishing area was rippling. He was dressed in a robe, and the brim of his hat was long enough to cover half of his face. What was different from the anglers around him was that behind him stood a young boy dressed in clean white, holding a basin with bait in his hand, waiting beside him.

The line suddenly tightened, and then fell heavily for some distance. The old man quickly cheered up, and there was no sign of exertion in his hands, but the rod slowly rose. Several anglers around him looked at him. Based on their own experience, this should be a very large carp......

The old man's mind was completely occupied by yesterday's events. Unnoticeable at all, the fish was surprisingly large.

————————

It's like having a long dream, and it seems like another long dream is happening in the dream. In this long, long dream, He Yue remembered bits and pieces clearly.

She opened her eyes tiredly. I understood what was happening to me this month. I am glad that I am such an ordinary peasant girl who can also have cultivation, but at the same time, I feel deeply tired and powerless.

Feelings become very complicated. As soon as the maid on the side saw her open her eyes, she immediately handed over the white silk scarf soaked in hot water. She wiped her face gently, and the maid walked out of the room. She rolled over, yawned, and suddenly felt a little wet and cool in her lower body. A thought came to mind without mistaking—the first menstrual event in my life had come.

"Sister Heyue, you're awake, I'll have someone prepare breakfast. ”

A girl of about twenty years of age, dressed in a pale red dress, who had just walked in through the door, seemed to be a little surprised to see her open her eyes, but then said softly and walked out of the door.

"Miss He. Before He Yue could figure out which young lady from Qiao's Mansion was coming to see her, a rather familiar voice soon sounded from outside the door, and two different footsteps came from the door. "Qiao Gongzi, please come in. Her voice weakened a lot, and when she finished speaking, she shrunk her whole body into the quilt. A chill came from the abdomen, and a wave of pain came from the abdomen.

It was Qiao Xuebin and Zheng Ergou who walked in outside the door. He Yue understands that although menstruation is a normal thing, it is definitely inconvenient to show it in front of them. The pain in her abdomen was getting worse and worse, and she rubbed her lower abdomen helplessly, and at the same time worried that if she stained the bed, it would be even more unlucky...

"Miss, are you okay? Zheng Ergou just entered Heyue's door, saw her face, and hurriedly squatted on the side of the bed and asked. It can't be yesterday's dream, and it will have a big impact on Heyue's body.

But he definitely didn't expect that the reason why the eldest lady looked ugly was simply because of that stomachache.

He Yue was even more embarrassed by his question. She wrapped herself tightly in the quilt. Endured the discomfort and asked, "Young Master Qiao, I am a little unwell, so I lie down for a while..."

Qiao Xuebin's eyes were surprisingly dark, as if he hadn't closed his eyes for a month. When he heard this, he hurriedly said, "Miss He, you can rest, we have some things, we can wait until you are comfortable to talk about it." ”

"Yesterday..."He Yueqiang cheered up, she sat up, leaning against the wall, the quilt wrapped around her neck and down, her long hair scattered. When she saw Qiao Xuebin, she immediately went to close the door gently. "I had a dream..."

When Zheng Ergou saw her say this, he knew very well that everyone who didn't understand the secret method of the Dream Clan would find it difficult to distinguish whether this was reality or a dream. "Miss, that's not a dream. I told you there that all of this is happening. ”

"I know. He Yue blinked tiredly, "It's been the same for more than a month. Now I can remember what happened in Silvercreek every night after I went to bed..."

"Two, Brother Ergou, you take me to read that book and practice together, you still have an annoying problem, you like to play with my hair... There is also Shizun, who has only appeared once. But more time, we played all over Bogu County. I'm not wrong. ”

"Yes, you're right. I'm sorry, I should have let you know about this sooner. Zheng Ergou said with an embarrassed smile. However, his mood at the moment is very complicated.

"I'm sorry, I'm just a very ordinary person, just a peasant girl under the mountain before my father took me as a righteous daughter. These, for me, are too difficult to understand. She shook her head, her voice bewildered, even a little angry, "So, it's hard to convince yourself that these things are real." ”

"It's okay, we can take our time. Your master doesn't think so, in fact, you are the most special one in his eyes. Zheng Ergou comforted. Qiao Xuebin sat aside and did not speak.

"I have always been very grateful to my father for giving me such an opportunity, and today I also thank you, Zheng Ming, and Shizun. ”

"But you can't keep me in the dark. Qiao Gongzi, both of you know it, and I also know that I am just an ordinary person. What are you doing all this for? What is the relationship between the two of you?"

"I do admire Master Mori's superb spells and deeds. I also thought about it just now, can I not ask anything, and continue to learn so many good things from Zheng Ming, you and Master. But I don't know why, I just want you to tell me why Shizun chose me? Where is he now? Zheng Ming, where are you from? What is your identity, Qiao Gongzi? What is special about me? What happened to my father? What happened to Hefu?" He Yue said this in one breath, hugged his head, and stopped talking.

She does have a lot of questions right now. From dreams to reality, from master to adoptive father, from Yinxi to Hefu. There is also this inexplicable war, and Zhao Fugui, a teacher who has gone to the front line. She was so confused by these strange things.

"Sister Heyue, sister asked the cook to prepare a ...... for you" Just as Qiao Xuebin and Zheng Ergou exchanged glances to each other, and the scene was silent for a while, the voice of the girl in the red dress just now suddenly sounded outside the door. Hearing this, Zheng Ergou hurriedly retreated to Heyue's bed and stood. Qiao Xuebin immediately went to open the door. Only then did He Yue see the girl's appearance clearly.

"Second brother, what are you doing here? Miss He is a little tired, don't disturb other people's rest. The girl glanced at Qiao Xuebin a little strangely, and in her impression, Second Brother Qiao was still a nerd who was studying in the treasury. But she quickly smiled to ease the awkwardness. The girl's lips were red and her teeth were white, her eyes seemed to be spiritual, her cheeks were crimson, and her expression was very good.

"I just came to see her... Uh, it's okay, Ah Xin, you take good care of Miss He!" Qiao Xuebin was a little embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly introduced the girl to He Yue, "Miss He, this is the fifth sister Qiao Xin." ”

"Sister Joe. He Yue glanced at Qiao Xin with drooping eyes, and had a good impression of this sunny and gentle woman, so she called her sister.

Qiao Xin bowed, and then blamed his brother and said, "What's good, didn't you see Sister Heyue's bad face? He provoked her, and she had a good face before I left. If you're okay, give Miss He a little more time to rest. ”

"Sister Qiao, I'm fine..."He Yue was only halfway through speaking, but was interrupted by Qiao Xin, "I know, you're tired now, you really have to rest." She playfully glanced at He Yue, and the smart He Yue immediately felt that Qiao Xin seemed to know about her menstrual affairs. Only then was he busy letting Qiao Xuebin and Zheng Ergou leave. Thinking of this, her heart warmed, and the corners of her mouth smiled at her slightly, but she didn't answer.

Actually, your fourth brother Qiao Liangyan and I have long been friends of Miss He, and we don't have time to chat, so you can rest for a while. Qiao Xuebin patted his sister's shoulder, Qiao Xin grinned, nodded, winked at He Yue, and walked out of the door.

"Then I'll cut it short. Zheng Ming and I have already discussed these things, and you really should know these things. It's just that, Miss He, you are still young, and knowing too much may not be good for you. And about his life experience, the influence is very profound, it can be traced back hundreds of years ago, and there are many secrets that we don't know. So, you just believe what we tell you, whether you think there's a problem, agree with it or not, trust us first, okay?"

He Yue nodded without hesitation. Qiao Xuebin lowered his voice and briefly explained the situation of the fairy realm in his master's path, explaining why he was a cultivator, so he entered the dream realm with Zheng Ergou yesterday and had a good spirit body. “... So, the egret you saw in your dream yesterday is my uncle. ”

"So Qiao Gongzi, you mean, yesterday you specially helped Zheng Ming explain to me, right? Let's not mention this question for now, you said that the egret is your uncle, so why did she break in? What were you talking about on the bridge at that time?" He Yue was very puzzled and asked in a low voice.

"This is related to Zheng Ming's clansmen. Let Zheng Ming explain to you about yesterday slowly. What I want to say is, I don't know if he told you that in today's world, the human race and the demon race are the two orthodox, and it is difficult to find other races in the entire continent. Thousands of years ago, or even tens of thousands of years ago, there were more than 100 races on this continent. ”

"It was only recently that I learned from my uncle that there are other races scattered around the continent, and there are quite a few of them. Qiao Xuebin stopped as he spoke, as if he didn't plan to say anything. After a moment's hesitation, he decided not to tell her about the alien cage Long Night City. If she succeeds in cultivating in the future, she will naturally know about the existence of a lonely city in the south, and learn the secrets of the Long Night City for thousands of years.

"Why did they disappear thousands of years ago? Moreover, they don't seem to dare to be discovered..."He Yue asked, but Qiao Xuebin put a finger to his mouth and asked her not to ask questions.

"Listen to me first. And Zheng Ming belongs to a very famous race among them, the Dream Clan. As the name suggests, the dreams you have had every night for more than a month have been created for you by Zheng Ming through the bloodline of the race and secret arts, that is, using the so-called dream making Dafa, and then using the dream clan's elixir Nan Kelu to bless the dream. ”

He Yue's expression gradually changed. From curiosity to puzzlement, to panic, to ... His face was expressionless, staring at Zheng Ergou who was standing beside the bed.

"And the reason why he became your closest servant in that way, Miss He. He Yue remembered the lotus seed soup that Zheng Ergou mixed for her on the night she first entered the Dutch Mansion. She nodded, trying to compose herself. After all, she was not bold enough, and the thought of having a guy who was not a human staying by her side every day, and even taking her to do it... The sense of trust that has been built up with Zheng Ergou for more than a month cannot dispel the faint anxiety and panic.

"It's because your master has taken a fancy to your talent and bones early on. Sen Qian is a monk with advanced cultivation among the Dream Clan people scattered all over the country. ”

"He and Master Mori Dao are brothers, but neither of them is from the Dream Clan. Zheng Ergou suddenly interjected, Qiao Xuebin cast a surprised glance, he hadn't heard Zheng Ergou talk about these things.

Zheng Ergou nodded at him and continued, "Miss, you should wonder how an old man who has never met before could take a fancy to your talent. Even you think you have no talent, an ordinary person. But what I'm going to tell you is that Old Man Mori has never looked away from anyone. The reason why he thinks that you are a malleable talent can consider inheriting the mantle. As far as I know, it's about your mother. ”

"Mother, Mrs. Shen?" He Yue's expression was a little exaggerated.

"Of course not her!"

"That's... How could she..."

"Miss He, it's your biological mother!" Although Qiao Xuebin hadn't heard Zheng Ergou talk about this before, he also understood what he meant, and couldn't help but speak.

"What? I don't even know who she is. He Yue's eyes widened, "For as long as I can remember, I've been at my adoptive mother's house..." The discomfort in her body was suddenly pushed out of her mind, and soon she raised her head suddenly, "What you said, is it true?"

Zheng Ergou sighed and nodded, he still appreciated the eldest lady's receptivity, which was much more mature than a fifteen-year-old girl. "So how is she doing now? Where does she live? She's friends with Master... What kind of expression do you have..."

He Yue saw Zheng Ergou's expression beside the bed with a low expression, and suddenly said, "She, she should still be alive, right?"

Zheng Ergou nodded silently, "Your master accidentally mentioned it to me, she should still be alive." However, Miss, your biological father did die two or three years ago. Died in the dungeon of our Dream Clan, and it wasn't until I met you that Mori Dao told me that the man who died mysteriously was actually your ......"

"Ahem, ahem!" Qiao Xuebin coughed a few times sternly. Seeing Zheng Ergou's expression, he seemed to be a little moved, mentioning the past, but he didn't think about whether He Yue could accept what he said. Zheng Ergou glanced at him uneasily and quickly shut up.

"What do you mean, what do you mean!" He Yue raised her voice a lot, and let go of her hands gripping the quilt. She frowned, but the corners of her mouth were forcibly raised, as if she was just listening to a joke.

Zheng Ergou let out a long sigh and explained stubbornly, "I'm sorry, Miss, I shouldn't have mentioned this. Your biological father has long since passed away. Please don't be too upset. As for the specific identities of your parents, and why they appeared in our dream clan's dungeon, I don't know anything. But your master seems to be friends with them... That's why I know a certain talent in you very well and value it very much. Don't live up to his expectations, I'll take you to cultivate, one day you can see the true face of the master, and he can take you farther and farther......."

"Miss, the name of the elder disciple of the Mori Dao is extraordinary. Since Qiao Gongzi and I have told you this, you must cultivate hard. In Qinshan Kingdom, he didn't just accept a named disciple like you. You want to surpass others and become a disciple of the master! It doesn't matter what race we are, no matter what way he uses, no matter how noisy the current Qinshan Kingdom and Heishui City are, this is an opportunity for you to be otherworldly and leap into the dragon gate! In this country, there are still very few people who can become like Sen Dao, and if you become a disciple of the Dream Clan, your future will not be lower than his! Don't miss your opportunity!"

"Let's get out. He Yue pulled down the quilt and lay down, letting go of his hands and running through his hair. Zheng Ergou saw that her face was expressionless, and regretted that she was quick to speak, and stepped forward to carefully cover her with a quilt, but was pushed away by He Yue.

Zheng Ergou was helpless, and glanced at Qiao Xuebin, who was also helpless, "Miss, please mourn." ”

"There's nothing to mourn. It's just two people I've never remembered, I've never gotten along. The only thing I've done for me is to help me find a master by mistake. Isn't it?" She barely managed to squeeze out a smile, but her voice trembled a little, "It's just that when you say that, I'm a little tired again, ahhhh There was a slight knock on the door, no, a kick.

Qiao Xuebin and Zheng Ergou each performed their own courtesies, Qiao Xuebin opened the door, and saw his sister Qiao Xin holding the food table with both hands, with a bowl of brown sugar water and porridge on it, and the two men who were about to walk out of the door looked at the bowl of black things with strange eyes. Qiao Xinleng paused for a moment and smiled awkwardly, "You two hurry up and go away, I still have to take care of Sister Heyue......"
