Before, I realized by myself, I felt awkward everywhere, and I couldn't find the reason for a few days and nights, but in front of these ancestors of the Zhou family, it was a few words that could solve my doubts.

"A few teachers, I hope you can help me design a rune and quickly open the golden gourd, so that this thing can come in handy in the ring of life and death."

I took out the golden gourd and asked the five ancestors.

"It's hard." The ancestor of the Zhou family shook his head. "It's not difficult to open the golden gourd, but if you plan to use it in a duel, you must be fast enough, and we haven't found this spell the year before last year, so it's even more difficult to do it in the past few days."

"If I have a secret method, I need you to carve the runes with enough time."

"What?" As soon as I spoke, the five ancestors were stunned. They have been searching for thousands of years and have not been able to find a way, but I have it. How is this possible?

"Where is the secret method, we have to see if we can answer."

I nodded and took out a piece of paper, wrote the ancient Sanskrit characters on it, and handed it to the five people.

"It's really possible! Oh, my God! I would never have imagined that Zhou Yuan actually had such a secret method on you. ”

The five ancestors trembled when they saw it, and slapped their thighs excitedly.

Many rune techniques are interconnected, they didn't expect it, but after reading it, they can immediately understand the mystery.

"No problem, right?" I asked tentatively. As for the method, it was naturally given to me by the sweeping monk, and I also found the secret method when I was preparing.

"No problem, no problem, and we can give you an extra surprise." The ancestor couldn't stop laughing. "This golden gourd has another secret method that can double the power, and we have already mastered it. But because I couldn't find a way to open it quickly, it has not been realized. By providing the secret method, you give us the opportunity to carve this rune array. ”

"That's right, with this formation, Zhou Yuan believes that after you open the red gold gourd, you will definitely be able to regret the time of the half-pillar incense of Chaoyuan Liukong." Another ancestor also swore to speak.

"This thing can contain the emperor's weapon?" My heart was boiling when I heard it. With this half-pillar of incense time, I can definitely do a lot of things. also let me fight against Pan Rulong, and finally have a little more certainty.

"Without further ado, although this rune array is not complicated, it is not something that can be studied thoroughly in a while. Zhou Yuan, you study rune arts, it should be for this thing. If you don't worry, give us the red gold gourd, and we will definitely be able to increase the effect of this thing in two days. The ancestor of the Zhou family held the gourd and said with a smile.

"I can naturally trust five teachers." I smiled slightly, and the five ancestors also showed a satisfied smile.

"Old Five, you go and teach Zhou Yuan how to activate this rune formation, and the four of us will depict the formation." The leader of the ancestors greeted, and suddenly they were divided into two groups, each busy with their own work.

Two days passed in a flash.

I haven't left the Zhou family for the past two days, and I've been practicing the technique of opening the rune formation.

While this isn't complicated for those who are true runemasters, it took a lot more time to use runes before I got started.

In the past two days, all kinds of news about me have not been interrupted.

"Jin Xuan's body is really ridiculous, does he think that by learning the art of runes for three days, he can defeat an ancient powerhouse with an imperial weapon?" Someone ridiculed.

"It is estimated that he rushed to the doctor in a hurry, and since there is no way out, he has to fight hard." Some people laughed.

As the time approaches, many powerhouses in the Hongmeng Continent are looking forward to tomorrow's duel more and more.

Many strong people traveled thousands of miles to rush to Zhao to watch the duel, and for a while, Zhao was as strong as a cloud, and you could hit the two great sages if you dropped the flower pot.

Two days later, I was satisfied and left Zhou's house. Several white-haired ancestors of the Zhou family sent me to the door.

Back in the courtyard of the palace, I was pleasantly surprised to find that everyone had come.

Fei Huanqin, Shi Rui, including Zhu Mingzi Monkey and others, all lived in the palace.

Seeing the exit, everyone also came up to greet each other.

However, everyone has a very tacit understanding, chatting about various anecdotes that have happened in the world recently, but they all avoid the topic of me and Pan Rulong.

I knew that they didn't want to add pressure to me, so I laughed and talked nonsense with Zhu Mingzi, and the fatigue of the two days was much more relaxed.

"Zhou Yuan, I have something important to tell you alone."

Shirui walked up to me and interrupted our conversation. I noticed that she was followed by a man in a black robe, always following to the left and right, looking particularly mysterious.

Everyone retreated in interest, and Shirui pulled me into a bamboo forest.

"Zhou Yuan, this is the high priest of my ghost clan, Sleepy Dragon." Shirui pointed to the black-robed man beside her and introduced it to me.

"Hello Sleepy Dragon Priest." I raised an eyebrow, not understanding what Shirui meant. Why at this moment, introduce the ghost people to me.

Suddenly, Shirui's big eyes swelled with worry and reluctance, and she grabbed my hand. She approached my body and looked straight at me.

"Zhou Yuan, I have investigated Pan Rulong's past, this person is insidious and vicious, and he has a variety of magical powers, I know that you are no worse than him, but the life and death ring is often changing rapidly, in case of you, then I ......"

Shirui said this, her eyes soaked in mist. Her little face was crumpled, and the act of wiping her tears made my heart ache.

"Shirui ......" I was distressed and tried to comfort me, but was interrupted by Shirui.

"Zhou Yuan, listen to me first, this trapped dragon priest is known for all kinds of magic in my ghost clan, I know that you have to fight to the death because you have made a life and death contract with Pan Rulong, this priest has a way, so that you don't have to fight, and you will not be affected by the Dao heart's backlash. It's going to take a lot of treasures, but I'll be sure to help you get them. So you're not going tomorrow, okay? ”

Shirui looked at me seriously, breathing a little heavily. Her eyes were full of anxiety, and her pretty face was full of anticipation.

I felt a warm current in my heart, and I could see that Shirui had made a lot of efforts to keep me alive, and even the Oni Clan priests had moved over to help.

The spells of the ghost clan are different from those of humans, and the secret methods are amazing. I believe that since Shirui promises, as long as I agree, she will definitely help me smooth my Dao heart even if she dies. Moreover, this kind of secret method is destined to consume a lot, and Shirui came here with the priest, proving that the lord of the ghost clan also nodded.

But to Shirui's doomed disappointment, I shook my head.

"Even if it's for me, can't you?" Shirui's voice trembled slightly, and tears rolled in her eyes.

I almost relented, but in the end I hated it.

"Shirui, it's inevitable."

"Zhou Yuan, I hate you!"

Shirui covered her cheeks and ran away, and the black-robed priest gave me a cold look.

"Jin Xuanzhi's body, do you know how much effort Miss Shirui has put into clearing your Dao Heart Rebellion? If you don't cherish the opportunity like this, you will definitely regret it. ”

After the black-robed priest finished speaking, his clothes fluttered and chased in the direction of Shirui.

I sighed and shook my head.

It's not that I don't know Shirui's dedication, but I can only live up to her good intentions.

Shirui doesn't understand, the life-and-death competition between me and Pan Rulong is no longer a matter of the two of us, it involves tens of millions of people in Zhao State, the serious injury of the obscene demon, the Bai family, the Zhou family, and everyone around me.

If I don't kill Pan Rulong, I will be stuck in my throat for the rest of my life, and I will have to worry about him attacking his relatives and friends.

"Where's Shirui?"

When it was time for dinner, I had never seen her, so I couldn't help but pull Zhu Mingzi who was passing by and asked.

"Shirui has something at home, telling us that she is going to meet the ghost clan soon, don't you know?" Zhu Mingzi was surprised.

I nodded, smiling bitterly in my heart. Looks like I really broke Shirui's heart. She told the crowd that she didn't say anything to me.

When night fell, it was the last night before the decisive battle, and I sat on the roof of the bamboo forest house, watching the night sky snuggle together, enjoying the last silence.

"Look at the stars, they seem to be very bright tonight. I have calculated with a numerologist that the star represents you, indicating that you are shining brightly now. ”

Fei Huanqin leaned on my shoulder, her slippery and cold little hands interlocked with my fingers, and said to me.

Yu Huanqin's expression was always light, and she couldn't see a trace of worry, but the bloodshot in her eyes still exposed her mood.

My heart was warm, my grip tighter, and I knew that she didn't want to put me under pressure, so I deliberately avoided talking about it.

"Phantom Qin, you and I have come to this day because of the absurdity of that day, do you regret it?"

I finally spat out the question I'd been wanting to ask.

Tomorrow is a matter of life and death, there is a fog ahead of me, and I don't want to leave regrets for myself.
