"Why did you promise him?" the young man looked at his right arm, then turned to look at the old man in a green shirt who was busy tinkering with the medicine jar.

"What?" the old man glanced up at him, but his attention was still on his medicine jar.

The young man frowned, he didn't believe that the old man really couldn't understand what he was asking.

"I just believe in the eyes of the current, the people he fancies, I believe it's not much different. It seemed to read the dissatisfaction in the young man's heart, and the old man who was messing with the medicine jar with his head down suddenly spoke out again.

"On that basis, you are willing to accept me as a disciple?" but this answer did not satisfy the young man, and his brow furrowed a little deeper.

The old man looked up and grinned, missing a few teeth from his mouth.

"Of course not. The old man put down the medicine jar in his hand, poured out a wisp of water from the gourd on the side and put it into the medicine jar.

"Your right arm is a great thing, if you can really succeed, maybe you can do a lot of things that I can't do..."

"What's the matter?" the young man's eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

The most terrible person in this world will always be the one who wants nothing, because behind all the nothing, there must be a greater desire.

In the final analysis, the people in this world, but all people, must have a plan.

But the young man's question was not answered, and the old man shook his head with a smile and continued to tinker with the medicine jar.

"Why don't you say it?" the young man was a little puzzled, why didn't he say it if he had something to ask for? He had always been a man who had debts to repay, and as long as the old man said something, he could do it, even if it was extremely dangerous, he would give it a try.

"There are some things in this world that you can't do if you have the ability. ”

"You have to do it..."

"It may be possible. ”

"The world is so big, but you see too little. ”

"Take a walk, take a look, maybe what you want to do is exactly what I'm going to do, isn't it beautiful to you?"

"What if I don't want to do it?" the boy asked again.

"Wouldn't it be nice for me if I saved a life?" said the old man.

......

"Master, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Sitting on the stone bench in Xiaoxuan's window, Xu Han looked at the jade pendant in front of him with several more cracks, and his face was gloomy.

It was the life talisman left to him by the master before leaving, as he said, when the jade pendant on the life talisman was completely broken, it was the day of his fate, and now it seems that this day will not be too far away.

"What are you thinking, boy?" suddenly a voice sounded behind him.

Xu Han was very vigilant, and subconsciously took the jade pendant into his arms, and then turned around, only to see a figure with white eyebrows and black hair in a black robe.

"Sect Leader?" Xu Han frowned, and most of the vigilance in his heart was lowered, but he still couldn't help but secretly scold: "This Master of the Sect is so elusive all the time. ”

"How is the recovery from the injury?" Ning Zhumang squinted his eyes and sat down beside Xu Han unceremoniously, looking the young man in front of him up and down.

Xu Han glanced at Ning Zhumang when he heard this, how could his injuries be seen with Ning Zhumang's cultivation and his vision for so many years? With such a speechless attitude, there was probably something he wanted him to help with.

Ning Zhumang also saw from Xu Han's eyes that his abacus didn't seem to be good enough, he smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said: "The matter of the wild goose coming to the city a few days ago has probably been investigated. ”

"Oh?" Xu Han's eyebrows raised, but he was interested.

"In the end, the previous actions against Linglong Pavilion in the Great Zhou were all done by the Long Night Division to divert our attention from Yanlai City, but the real purpose was to cover up the birth of this dragon. Ning Zhumang naturally didn't mean to hide it, and immediately told the story.

"Huh?" Xu Han was a little puzzled when he heard this. The Jiaolong is really powerful, but the Jiaolong is clearly not controlled by anyone, so the Sen Luo Temple even lost two black and white impermanence and a red-robed judge, although he also knew that the Long Night Division and the Sen Luo Hall had always been connected, but he didn't know what benefits the two of them had for them to hide the news of the dragon's birth so much.

"That Jiaolong is not an ordinary Jiaolong, but a demon dragon cultivated by Senluo Hall with their demon refining method and Gu cultivation technique. Ning Zhumang said again.

"Is that any different from ordinary dragons?" Xu Han asked.

"A little violent, a little bloodthirsty, a little delirious. Ning Zhumang said slowly.

"Then why did Senluo Hall and the Long Night Division want to hide this news, and what is the use of this demon dragon for them. Xu Han still didn't understand what prompted the other party to act so dangerously.

"Huh. Ning Zhumang smiled at that time, "But no matter what, there is one thing that is the same, and they all have dragon qi in their bodies!"

"Dragon Qi?" Xu Han's face changed, but he didn't expect that they were for the so-called dragon qi. "What the hell is that?"

You must know that in order to fight against that dragon that day, Xu Han's Jin Dan absorbed a lot of dragon qi, but he couldn't call it, and the ancient books he consulted were also vague about the role of dragon qi, which made Xu Han very puzzled, and now after listening to Ning Zhumang's words, he felt that maybe this master knew something.

Ning Zhumang also heard a slight strangeness in Xu Han's tone, he raised his eyes and glanced at the young man, but he continued to say: "Dragon Qi has many names, such as purple qi, and such as imperial qi!"

"According to legend, the creator of heaven and earth, with the dragon energy, is destined to become a prince in the world. But this thing is extremely weird, if heaven and earth are recognized, their own dragon qi will come to the door, if they are not recognized, the dragon qi will come to the body, and if they are inhaled, they will just explode and die, and they will just find their own death. ”

After saying this, Xu Han's face suddenly changed.

"Ordinary people can't absorb dragon qi, so isn't there an exception in this world?"

"It stands to reason that there can't be. Ning Zhumang's brows suddenly furrowed at that time. "But if you think about what Sen Luo Hall and the Long Night Division did, it is obvious that they are going for this dragon qi, I am afraid that Zhu Xian has found some terrible methods and has a heart of disobedience. ”

This conversation was a huge shock to Xu Han.

Putting aside the conspiracy between the Senluo Hall and the Long Night Division, he Xu Han had not practiced any methods, but why was he able to absorb dragon qi? This was enough to make Xu Han's heart gloomy. Or is there any mystery hidden in the golden pill opened up by the purple light cluster?

Xu Han wanted to find out, but if he continued to ask, it would be even more obvious that he would cover his ears and steal the bell, and if he couldn't keep it, it would arouse Ning Zhumang's suspicion.

Therefore, he sank his mind at that time, looked at Ning Zhumang, and asked very seriously, "What do you want to know from me when you tell me this?"

Xu Han was not stupid, although the news about dragon qi was extremely important to Xu Han, he knew very well that Ning Zhumang told him these things that could almost be called Xinmi, it was not a whim, there must be something.

Ning Zhumang was also accustomed to Xu Han's temperament, and he said disapprerovantly: "The Long Night Division has joined forces with the Senluo Palace to subvert the Great Zhou, and since you are from the Senluo Palace, you must know something about the Senluo Palace, I hope you can tell me about it." ”

At this time, the tone of this master who had always been a little imaginative suddenly became extremely serious, which made Xu Han stunned.

"When did the people of the rivers and lakes also start to take care of the affairs of the court?" Xu Han did not answer Ning Zhumang's question at the first time, but asked with interest.

"The Jianghu Imperial Court, in the final analysis, is the Great Zhou. Prosperity or not co-prosperity, but decline is destined to co-decline. Cui Ting, the national pillar of the Xia Dynasty, has been stationed outside the Sword Dragon Pass for a long time, how can he be a joke? The Great Zhou, a mess of gold and jade, has long been unable to make any big waves, and I don't have the heart to care about any court battles, I just want to keep the thousand-year-old inheritance of Linglong Pavilion. Ning Zhumang's face gradually became gloomy, and even his voice was a little tired.

When Xu Han heard this, he also fell silent.

He thought about the conversation with Zhou Zhang before, thought about the words that the master had said to him, and looked at Ning Zhumang in front of him.

There are eggs under the nest.

Maybe he wants to find a place to settle down, it's really foolish, and it's not necessarily a dream.

But the general trend of the world is a game between several behemoths, don't say that he Xu Han is Linglong Pavilion Under such a gathering of wind and clouds, there are very few things that can be done.

Thinking of this, Xu Han couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"It's true that I'm from the Senluo Temple, but I'm just a black-clothed Shura, and I don't know much more than you. Xu Han was silent for a while, and finally spoke.

But before he could say this, Xu Han met Ning Zhumang's hopeful eyes.

This master who is over forty years old has a lot of snow on his head, and obviously, this position of the head of the sect is not easy to do.

Xu Han's heart trembled a little, he thought about it slightly, and then said again: "If you really want to talk about the demon dragon, I think you may be able to start with the Gu Lin of the Sen Luo Hall to cultivate Shura." ”

When Ning Zhumang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then as if he had thought of something, he suddenly stood up and nodded towards Xu Han.

This kindness, Ning Zhumang wrote down. After that, he didn't say more, and his body flashed and disappeared into the Linglong Pavilion at that time.

Xu Han, who was accustomed to being the master of the sect, saw that the head and tail were not visible, but he was only slightly stunned, and then came back to his senses.

Immediately, his face turned gloomy again.

Gu Lin...

It was a place that Xu Han could never forget for the rest of his life.

There he completed his transformation from a beggar to a Shura.

There he also lost his first friend.

He raised his eyes and looked into the distance, thinking about the dark jungle, thinking about the pouring rain, thinking about the figure who walked alone into the depths of the dense forest...

Xu Han's eyes were a little moist.

"Ah Sheng..."

He muttered the name, and the sky darkened a little.

Drops of water fell above his head.

On that day, Linglong Pavilion ushered in the first spring rain since the beginning of spring.
