It's the end of another day's practice.

Su Mu'an and Xiao Nineteen sat side by side on the steps of the courtyard of the Qin Palace, they looked up at the snowflakes that kept falling in the night, both of them were silent, not knowing whether they were enjoying this moment of peace or each with their own thoughts.

Xiao Nineteen glanced sideways at Su Mu'an beside her, stretched out her hands at a loss, caught the snowflake falling from the sky, she put it in front of her eyes, and looked at the snowflake with heavy eyes.

The snow in Chen Guo has been falling non-stop since the beginning of winter, just like the Great Zhou, which is obviously an extremely strange thing, at least there has never been such a heavy snow in this world in history. And what worries Xiao Nineteen the most is that as time goes by, Chen Guo's snow is no longer as white as before, but with a little gray, although it is not as white as Da Zhou, but such a change is enough to make people frightened - this shows that after Da Zhou, Chen Guo's dragon qi has also begun to gradually be swallowed by the dead dragon, although this process is extremely slow, but if the battle in Dayuan Mountain, Xu Han and others fail, then this speed will inevitably be increased by several steps.

Thinking of this, Nineteen sighed rarely, she squatted up, put the elbows of both hands on her knees, supported her face with her palms, and said at that time: "I thought that it was enough for people to have three meals a day, a bowl of water to drink when they were thirsty, and a piece of clothing to have when they were cold, but I didn't want to live because there were so many things to worry about." ”

Although Nineteen likes to put on a posture of a little adult on weekdays, he can't escape the appearance of a child after all when he does things and talks, and this sigh at this moment is something Su Muan didn't expect. He couldn't help but glance sideways at Nineteen, he frowned, and said, "Don't think too much, just cultivate diligently." ”

Su Muan is actually five or six years older than the 19th National Congress, and he is wooden by nature, so his persuasion is naturally difficult to be effective.

Nineteen Wen Yan turned his head to look at Su Mu'an and asked, "To what extent can you cultivate so that you can be free of troubles?"

This question was immediately asked Su Mu'an, the little guy frowned, he tried hard to think about the question of Nineteen, but he really couldn't think of a definite answer, after all, in his heart, Xu Han was already a powerful person, but he was still trapped by many things every day. It seems that they are born in this world, they have to go through tribulations, go through all the things that make them unhappy, but no one knows what they are going through these things for.

"Are you going to leave too?" Just as Su Mu'an frowned and thought about Nineteen's question, Nineteen's voice sounded again.

Su Mu'an was excited, and instinctively shook his head at that time and denied: "Let's go, where are you going?"

It's just that although his reaction has been called fast, he is really not good at this, the moment he said this, his face turned crimson because of the eagerness in his heart, and this is also difficult to hide from Xiao Nineteen's eyes.

Xiao Nineteen lowered his head a little lonely, and muttered with a depressed expression: "I also want to help, but it seems... I can't help with anything. ”

Seeing that Nineteen was like this, Su Mu'an felt a little unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart, and he comforted again: "It's okay, you are so smart, you will definitely be able to help when the time comes." ”

Nineteen shook her head when she heard this, and she smiled bitterly: "How can it be so easy, when I really have that ability, you may have a long time..."

Nineteen said this, paused, and didn't say the rest too clearly, maybe he felt that it was not a thing with a chance of winning, if he talked nonsense, in case it became a prophecy...

Nineteen is too smart, but Su Muan is too upright in some aspects, and the conversation between the two is destined to end in nothing. Su Mu'an could only make an appointment with Nineteen for tomorrow's cultivation in an atmosphere that made his heart tremble in an embarrassing atmosphere before he ran away.

......

And after Su Mu'an returned to his residence, the door of a room not far from him was suddenly pushed open an hour later.

Zhou Yuan's head came out of the door at that time, he looked around cautiously, and only after making sure that there was no one else around did he tiptoe out of the room, bowing and trotting in the direction of Su Mu'an's return.

Zhou Yuan has lived in Senluo Diansen for decades, almost after he became an adult, he rarely has contact with the outside world, he only needs to concentrate on studying the method of half-demon every day, and he does not need to worry about anything else, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to eating, drinking, and Lazar, there are people who are specially responsible for taking care of it, so many times Zhou Yuan is a little slow to do many things.

But sluggishness doesn't mean ignorance, and he still noticed something strange about Little Nineteen.

Although she practiced swordsmanship with Su Mu'an every day, she came back a few hours later than Su Mu'an, and it was understandable that a little girl was playful for a while, but it was a little wrong to do so every day, not to mention that Xiao Nineteen would mention things like Zhou Yuan teaching her kung fu from time to time, at first Zhou Yuan thought that Nineteen was just a child's words, and talked nonsense casually. But gradually, Zhou Yuan noticed that things didn't seem to be as simple as he thought, and he happened to see Nineteen practicing swordsmanship one day, and the sword moves were extremely exquisite, obviously not a vulgar thing.

This can be made up by people who have been taught kung fu, but such a mysterious exercise is not something that a child who has not yet reached the age of ten can make up. Zhou Yuan was naturally suspicious, and every day after that, he secretly observed and found that Nineteen's sword technique was improving extremely fast, and the same was true for his sword technique. It is natural that Professor Su Mu'an can continue to improve his sword technique, but the sword technique is obviously not so simple.

The doubts in Zhou Yuan's heart were better than one day at a time, and finally today he decided to go and find out.

He wanted to find out where Xiao Nineteen was doing tomorrow night after Su Mu'an left, and why her swordsmanship was so refined every day. With such a thought, he came to the location of the nineteenth who had already inquired about Su Mu'an a few days ago, Zhou Yuan's pace began to slow down, he instinctively felt that some big secret was about to be unveiled in front of his eyes, so he became more and more cautious.

And when he came to the courtyard where Xiao Nineteen was, one conversation after another also reached Zhou Yuan's ears at that time.

"Master, I've only been practicing this swordsmanship for half a month, and it's only getting a little better, why do I have to replace it with another one?" This was Xiao Nineteen's voice, and Zhou Yuan heard it at once, but the master in Nineteen's mouth made Zhou Yuan a little puzzled.

"The swordsmanship I taught you are among the best in the world, even if you don't have ten years of time with your qualifications, it is difficult to practice it to perfection, we don't have so much time, so I can only instill the essence of these swordsmanship into you one by one, and in the future, you will have time to savor and specialize. ”

At this time, another voice sounded, thinking that it was the master in the nineteen mouths at this moment, and listening to that voice, Zhou Yuan secretly felt a little similar to himself.

Thinking of this, a nameless fire suddenly sparked in Zhou Yuan's heart.

He has the feeling that his lover has been robbed and the dove occupies the magpie's nest, but he forgets that he is an impostor. With such thoughts, Zhou Yuan wanted to walk out of the wall of the courtyard to see who was bewitching his good apprentice, but he had just walked out of the wall and was about to look.

But at that moment, there was a sudden sharp pain in the back of his neck, and before he could see the situation clearly, his eyes went black, and his body fell to the ground.

......

"But how could Master not have time? Didn't you say that you wouldn't go with them when I asked you yesterday during the day?" Nineteen asked a little confused, but there was no answer to this question, and Nineteen raised his head to look, but saw that the old man who was still beside him was nowhere to be found at the moment.

"Master?" Nineteen looked around again, but still couldn't find any trace of his master, so he could only shout loudly around.

There was no one to respond to her in the empty night, and Nineteen was a little flustered, but in front of her, Zhou Yuan, who was dressed in black, appeared in front of Nineteen again.

The little guy suddenly turned happy, and walked quickly in front of Zhou Yuan, but complained in his mouth: "Master, why did you suddenly disappear, you scared me to death." ”

But Zhou Yuan only glanced at Nineteen lightly, and did not respond to Nineteen's blame, but said, "I have something important, so let's stop here for tonight's practice." ”

Zhou Yuan said this, didn't pay attention to Nineteen's puzzlement at all, and his body disappeared in place again.

Nineteen was stunned, and when she came back to her senses, Zhou Yuan had long since disappeared, she shouted into the night for a long time, but she couldn't respond, and finally she could only return to her residence alone in the snow with helplessness and anger.

......

On the other side, Zhou Yuan also slowly woke up from his coma, he looked around a little dazedly, but found himself sitting at the desk in his room.

He was slightly stunned, and it took a while for him to react. He clearly remembered that he was going to catch the culprit who had bewitched his own disciples, and then his eyes went dark, and he returned here.

And just at the stall where he was puzzled, a voice suddenly came.

"Are you awake?" the voice said.

Zhou Yuan subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from, but saw that a black shadow was standing in front of his desk at some point, looking down at him. However, the black shadow's body seemed to be wrapped in some kind of power, making it difficult for Zhou Yuan to see his appearance at all.

Zhou Yuan was excited, hurriedly stood up, and asked in shock and fear, "Who are you?"

"Friends. The dark shadow replied, in a low tone, as if deliberately muffling his voice.

Zhou Yuan was puzzled and was about to ask a question, but the black shadow handed out something at that time, put it in front of Zhou Yuan's desk, and said, "Look at it more, you can use this thing." ”

With that, the shadow disappeared into the house in a flash.

Where had Zhou Yuan seen such a scene, he was stunned for a long time, and after coming back to his senses, he looked around for a long time, and then he was sure that the black shadow had disappeared.

Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and the next moment he remembered the words of the black shadow, and when he looked at the thing on the desk, he found that it was an ancient book with yellowed pages.

He took a deep breath, sat down at the desk, and looked carefully, but saw that the title page of the book was written with the three ancient compilations of "Foreign Objects", and it was also thanks to Zhou Yuan's study of alchemy back then, and there were many such records in the ancient books he read, so he could recognize these three words, otherwise it would be difficult to understand the true meaning of it if someone else came and held this book.

Zhou Yuan, who was faintly aware of the extraordinary nature of this book, forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart before, calmed down and turned the page.

Heaven and earth were born, and order was established.

Kunlun Immortal Mountain, Immortal Palace Tiancheng.

The palace has three layers, one is called Yaotai, one is called Mingjing, and one is called Tianqiong.

In the dome of heaven, there is a dry well, which reaches the source of the world, where the years stand still, mortals can live for thousands of years, and mortals can avoid reincarnation...
