"Old man, stretch out your hand and call the pulse first. Walking to the bed, Zhou Nian moved a stool and sat down, and said in a deep voice.

"Oh, it's hard work. Old Ancestor slowly stretched out his hand and waited for the other party's diagnosis.

Fingers on the pulse, Zhou Nian's eyes narrowed slightly, mobilized his soul power to sense the breath in the ancestor's body, pondered for a moment, and then withdrew his hand, "Old man, your pulse is quite stable, but there is some moisture entangled, the liver fire is rising, sick, it's not tight, it's just ......"

"But what?"

"Although the disease is easy to treat, but the heart disease is difficult to treat, the heart disease also needs the heart medicine, if you want to completely cure the disease, there is still a lack of medicine primer. ”

"Medicine primer?" Old Ancestor frowned slightly when he heard this, and before he could ask clearly, Xin Jie next to him suddenly interjected.

"Hehe, little fairy, look at what you said, although our Murong family is not a rich party, but at least it is quite wealthy, what kind of medicine primer is there that our family can't get?

Zhou Nian turned his head slowly and said with a smile, "Hehe, madam, you are too worried, I don't mean to look down on your family, it's just that my flavor medicine primer is very rare, and it can't be bought with money, it belongs to the kind of thing that can be found and hard to find, and no matter how much money you spend, it's in vain." ”

"Oh, what kind of medicine is that?" Xin Jie asked curiously, raising her eyebrows.

"This ......" Zhou Nian paused, then looked at Xin Jie, then at Cui Gu behind her, and finally stopped at Lao Zu and didn't leave.

"Ahem, that, Xiaojie, you and Aunt Cui go out first, I'll talk to this little friend first. ”

How smart is the ancestor? Since he is the kind of person who is thoughtful and very good at observing words and feelings, Zhou Nian only hinted, and he immediately understood what the other party meant.

"Uh...... Be. Opening her mouth slightly, although Xin Jie was very reluctant in her heart, after all, the old ancestor and his old man had spoken, and she couldn't refute his face, so she simply took Cui Gu out of the door, and then closed the door.

"Smack!"

As soon as the door was closed, the ancestor immediately shifted his gaze to Zhou Nian's body, "Xiaoyou, you can say it now, what is this flavor medicine primer?"

Zhou Nian chuckled when he heard this, and deliberately sold Guan Zi and said, "Hehe, old man, before you talk about this flavor medicine primer, can you tell me how you got this disease?"

"This ......"

"Oh, is there something unspeakable about the old man?"

When the ancestor heard this, he sighed and said, "Alas, Xiaoyou is smart, this disease comes from my heart, it is indeed difficult to speak, there are some things I really don't want to tell you, because this will make you get into trouble, and even threaten your life, I hope you can understand, don't ask about my cause anymore." ”

"Oh, hehe......" The curvature of the corners of his mouth became more and more obvious, Zhou Nian either didn't say it, or he had to hit the nail on the head as soon as he said it, otherwise the other party would inevitably be vague and deliberately shirk.

"Old man, with all due respect, is your illness related to the Soul of Nili?"

"What!"

As soon as the words "Soul of Muli" came out, the ancestor suddenly jumped up from the bed, as if he had suddenly recovered from a strange disease, his eyes were shining, his whole body twitched, and he was like a bouncing loach!

"You...... How do you know?" he was a little incoherent, his fingers trembling and pointing at Zhou Nian, his face full of surprise and puzzlement.

Zhou Nian took a few steps forward when he heard this, as if he was afraid of being heard by others, so he approached the ancestor a little closer, and said in a low voice, "Old man, don't be angry when you say it, this secret was told to me by your good junior." ”

"What!" Old Ancestor suddenly widened his eyes and cursed, "Who is it? Who is it? What kind of bastard has a mouth like a cotton trouser waist, and he dares to say this kind of secret?"

"Hehe, old man, it doesn't really matter who told me, what matters is how you deal with the current problem. ”

"Question?

"The soul of the mud. ”

"What do you mean......"

His expression changed slightly, and the smile on Zhou Nian's face disappeared, and he turned to a little solemnity, "Old man, you can't swallow this secret by yourself, your heart disease is all due to the soul of Nili, and the medicine primer I prescribed to you is also the soul of Nili that everyone in the City of Water dreams of, as long as you can answer me truthfully a few questions, I will keep your medicine until the disease is cured, and then worry-free!"

"No worries?" Old Ancestor suddenly narrowed his eyes, he still looked up to Zhou Nian for three points before, but when it came to the problem of the soul of Nili, he didn't seem to be able to look down on anyone, "Hmph, you said lightly, do you know how big the stakes are involved in this little soul of Nili? Don't think that you know a little medical skills and have the qualifications to covet the soul of Nili, to tell you the truth, boy, you are still far behind!"

"Hehe, old man, you have to give me a yardstick to measure how much I am missing, right? If you don't even have the guts to try, then why are you still alive? Forget it when a turtle with a shrunken head suffocates in its shell. ”

"Oh, do you really want to hear it?"

Zhou Nian hugged his fists and said, "Please inform the old man." ”

Hearing this, the ancestor smiled mysteriously, "Hehe, there's nothing to say!"

"Huh?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Nian was suddenly aggrieved in his heart!

Don't bring such a playful person!

Seeing that he was about to say it, he just pulled you at a critical moment, flashing his waist and not saying anything, he had to break his feet!

This old man is not ashamed to really know how to play, Zhou Nianqi gritted his back molars, and said in his heart, why don't you die?

But he would never say this, for the sake of the face of the soul of Nili, no matter how angry he was, he had to endure it.

"Hoo ......"

Exhaling the stuffiness in his chest, Zhou Nian's face changed slightly, and he regained his previous calm, "Old man, what's the point of you stubbornly guarding this secret? You have made yourself mentally weak and depressed all day long, why are you so troubled? Besides, I already know part of this secret, I just ask you to tell me what happened that day, did you hand over the soul of Nili?"

"Hand over the soul of Nili?" As soon as these words came out, the ancestor's face suddenly became a little strange, "Who told you that I handed over the soul of Nili......?"

"What is it?"

"Yes...... Okay, you stinky boy, how dare you take my words?"

"Old man, who is Yuan Sin, what did you call her?" However, Zhou Nian didn't care about the ancestor's scolding at all, and continued to ask his own questions.

Old Ancestor's face twitched, and he was very surprised, "You...... You even know about the original sin?"

"Hehe, old man, I said that I know some secrets, and the rest of the secrets, it doesn't make much sense for you to hide them, it's better to be a favor and tell me. ”

"You...... How much do you know?"

"Hmph, eight or nine is not far from ten. ”

"What! this ...... How is this possible!"

"Old man, you must have heard of a place, right?"

"Oh, where?"

"Hmph, Vast Palace!"

"Hiss......"

As soon as these three words came out, the ancestor suddenly gasped.

There are many people in the city of water who know the soul of Nili, and they all say that there are five Nili, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, but in fact, this is not comprehensive, because there is another sentence behind it - if you get yin and yang, the combination will lead to the vastness.

The vastness here naturally refers to the vast palace.

The other party even knows this name, and it must be a lot of money to think about.

The wrinkles on his face piled up more and more, and the ancestor suddenly felt that he couldn't see through Zhou Nian, and a mouthful of phlegm seemed to be sticking to his hoarse throat, and he cleared it several times before he regained his ability to speak, and cautiously tentatively said, "You...... Who is it, and why do you know about the Vast Temple?"

When Zhou Nian heard this, he suddenly snickered in his heart, and said that this time he was finally right.

He naturally didn't know much about the secret of the Vast Palace, and just mentioning this name was just to deceive the ancestor.

But I didn't expect the effect of this name to be so significant, looking at the other party's stunned and vigilant look, if he scares and scares him again, maybe he will be able to know everything and say everything.

In view of this consideration, even if Zhou Nian didn't know the specific situation of the Vast Palace, he still had to put on a very knowledgeable appearance, coaxing his own level, so as to deceive the other party.

His face deliberately became serious, and Zhou Nian said seriously, "It doesn't matter who I am, but there are some words, I have to kindly remind you that in this water city, there are nine pieces of the soul of Nili, and only after ninety-nine are one, can the vast palace be opened, if you ignore one of them and let it fall into the hands of traitors, it will inevitably harm the common people, and the lives will be ruined, resulting in this result, do you think you can escape? Your conscience will not be unhappy?"

Zhou Nian summarized the secrets he knew about the soul of Nili to the ancestor, and even detained such a big basin as poisoning the common people in the world, and he tried his best.

However, although this trick is poisonous, but it is very effective, the ancestor who heard this said really bowed his head silently, thoughtful in his heart, silent for a long time, he seemed to have made a difficult decision, simply put his heart sideways, gritted his teeth and said, "Alas, well, since you even know about the affairs of the Vast Palace, then this secret I keep can tell you the truth, however, I want you to guarantee that only you know about this matter, if you dare to spread it easily, I will definitely want you to die a good death!"

Zhou Nian was full of joy when he heard this, hugged his fists and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell this secret until I die, I must let it rot in my stomach." ”

"Well, well, stay close to me, and I'll tell you in detail. ”

"Oh. ”

Zhou Nian hurried over when he heard the words and listened attentively.

"Alas, since ancient times, there has been a lot of love and empty hatred, and this hatred is endless, probably more than a hundred years ago, I ......"

"Huh, more than a hundred years ago?"

Zhou Nian listened, didn't this old man want to talk at length, right?

If he started talking about it more than a hundred years ago, I am afraid that it would take three days and three nights to finish, and Zhou Nian didn't want to listen to him tell the story, as long as he figured out the identity of Yuan Sin and the whereabouts of the soul of Nili, by the way, he could ask some eyebrows of the evil forces of the ten directions, and immediately stretched out his hand to interrupt, "Old man, I have few questions, you don't need to say so much, let's save time." ”

"Huh......? But I've just got this emotion brewing, you...... You don't want to hear it?"

Zhou Nian, "......"

Shaking his head speechlessly, Zhou Nian's expression changed slightly, and then he said seriously, "Old man, who is Yuan Sin?

Old Ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly, sighed and said, "Alas, her real name is indeed not called Yuan Sin, but later it was changed to Yuan Sin, because she hates, she hates everyone." ”

"All people?" and ...... that means."

"She hated those who abandoned her and betrayed her, and she came with endless hatred from the moment she appeared in our Longevity Village. ”

"Hate?"

"Yes......" Old Ancestor looked up at the window, his eyes full of complexity," She has a pure nature, once served as the gatekeeper of the mountain god with me, in a stormy night, the mountain god has something to go out, specially ordered us to carefully watch the soul of the mud in the cave, but that night, a group of thieves secretly ran up the mountain, hijacked her brother to do blackmail, forced us to hand over the soul of the mud, she has a hard life, her parents have long since died, there is only such a brother around each other, since every way to love, care for the best, under the choice of family and mission, she was also forced to helpless, chose her brother, but at that time I was still young and vigorous, too stupid and loyal, did not understand the preciousness of the family, and she had a disputeThe thief saw that the two of us were arguing, and the Lord Shoushan God was about to return, and in a fit of anger, he actually killed her own brother in front of her and fled, she just watched her own brother die innocently in vain, grief-stricken, hugged the corpse and cried bitterly, but overnight, the green silk turned white, and the age was old, and it was also on that night that she formed a grudge with me, and broke off her righteousness, saying that the person who bears me, I will pay back ten times in the future, and she went down the mountain alone with her brother, and never came back......"

Speaking of this, the ancestor suddenly withdrew his gaze to the house, and his face looked a little haggard.

Zhou Nian pursed his lips and asked, "What about later?"

"Later...... When I saw her again, it was already fifty years later, when I was in order to avoid her pursuit, I deliberately lived in seclusion to the remote place of Changshou Village, and when I saw her again, she was being chased and killed by the enemy, covered in blood and scarred, maybe I felt guilty about her, I didn't drive her away, but invited a doctor to treat her, and when she was healed, she didn't kill me immediately, only said a grudge between you and me, only nine-tenths, as for the remaining tenth, I will come to take it in the future, after saying that, she left a thing, and then said, when I come back to get this thing, it will be the day of my revenge！”

"One thing?" Zhou Nian heard this, his pupils dilated, "The thing you are talking about, could it be the soul of Nili?"

Old Ancestor closed his eyes slightly, shook his head and said, "No, the soul of Nili is something that the mountain god guards, and with her strength at that time, she has no ability to take it from the mountain god." ”

"And what the hell is that thing?"

Old Ancestor slowly opened his eyes and laughed softly, "Hehe, maybe my junior learned the wrong thing from you, and didn't explain my original words clearly, in fact, what was taken away by Yuan Sin was not the soul of Nili, but the soul map of Nili." ”

"Ni Li's Soul Atlas?" Zhou Nian looked puzzled when he heard this, "What is the Atlas?"

"Didn't you just say that there are nine pieces of the soul of Nili? Nine and nine in one, you can find the Vast Palace, but do you know that the synthesis method of this fragment of the soul of Nili is not something that can be put together casually, and you need to have a synthesis map to find the correct synthesis method of the fragment of the soul of Nili. ”

"What!"

Zhou Nian looked surprised, since he was a master who knew how to draw inferences, his brows furrowed for a few seconds, and he hurriedly asked, "Then this Soul Atlas of Ni Li, there should be nine of them, right?"

He was most worried about this problem now, just one fragment of the soul of Nili was so difficult to deal with, if he got nine more maps, a total of eighteen things, how long would it take to bother and work hard?

But what makes people feel fortunate is that when the ancestor heard this, he shook his head slightly, and laughed softly, "Hehe, Xiaoyou is too worried, there are nine fragments, but there is only one map, as long as you get that map, you will basically take a big step towards the Vast Palace!"

"Whew...... That's good, that's good. ”

Smoothing his chest, Zhou Nian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

After a moment's hesitation, he seemed to judge that something was wrong, and continued to ask, "Old man, since that Yuan Sin has already asked you for the atlas, does that mean that one of the fragments already has beautiful eyes?"

"Well, it's possible. ”

"Just now you said that she and you were both the gatekeepers of the Mountain Keeper, so will her target be ...... this time?"

Old Ancestor was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "Unlikely. ”

"Oh?

"Because she has a habit of leaving the worst or best impression on her, she will definitely stay until the end, and the place where the mountain god will leave her good memories and the sad place where her own brother died in vain, and she will definitely wait for all the fragments of the soul of Nili to be collected before she can fight there. ”

"Oh, I see. Zhou Nian nodded slowly and continued to ask, "Old man, just now you said that her revenge was only nine-tenths of the avenging, but the remaining tenth, I don't know what you mean?"

"Alas, the remaining tenth, maybe you just said, I easily handed over the atlas to her, which is equivalent to being her accomplice in poisoning the creatures in the future, let me blame myself for a lifetime, regret it for a lifetime. ”

"That'...... Can you tell me where Lord Shoushan God lives?" Zhou Nian asked this question very carefully, after all, this mud fragment is a lice on the bald head, and it is clearly displayed, and it can be found when you go.

But to his great disappointment, the ancestor did not agree to his request, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyou, I once swore that I would never tell anyone about the place where the mountain god lives, including my dearest and most beloved family, so you should die of this heart." ”

"Oh, that's it......" Zhou Nian muttered helplessly, this time his luck didn't hit the right one, so he simply changed the topic and continued to ask, "Old man, I heard you mention the evil forces of the ten directions before, the kid is brave, please ask, where does this evil force of the ten directions come from?"

"Oh?" Old Ancestor suddenly wrinkled his brows together when he heard this, "You...... What is this for, you ask?"

"The kid pleads, please let the old man know!" Zhou Nian solemnly clenched his fists, this question was the most important question compared to any question he had asked before.

Old Ancestor stared at him with a complicated expression, and was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke, "Alas, Xiaoyou, it's not that the old man doesn't want to tell him, it's just that about this force, the old man really can't talk about it in detail, so he can only keep silent." ”

"What!"

Zhou Nian was stunned, he could even tell himself such a big secret as the soul of Ni Li, why did he retreat when it was the turn of the evil forces of the Ten Directions?

How much of a secret is hidden in this force, and why does everyone who knows about it avoid talking about it?

The more he deliberately evaded, the more curious Zhou Nian became, because he had been tracking this force for a long time, and the clues would be broken for no reason at every critical moment, which had to be incredible.

Pursing his lips, Zhou Nian said with a straight look, "Old man, if you don't want to say it, the kid won't be difficult, but I still have one last one, I hope you can tell the truth." ”

"This ...... Well, let's talk about it. ”

"What kind of person is that Yuan Sin, who is the evil forces of the Ten Directions, and what is the connection between her and the evil forces of the Ten Directions?"
