/p> For countless years, Shiren has always followed the side of Chengyuan God as a servant, and his life has never changed, and no one else has ever stepped in.

And at this moment, it may be because of the sudden awakening, or it may be that the boy has been insisting on calling him senior, and the stone man suddenly feels that time is like a waterfall that suddenly breaks through the embankment, and it rolls forward irrepressibly, pushing his whole person into a new and strange world that he has never known.

It suddenly occurred to Shiren that if his master was still there, he might let the child obediently call him uncle, and order him to protect the child from now on and accompany him to grow up.

The scene that came to his mind caused the stone man's breath to suddenly lose his rhythm, and he even wondered how he would answer if his master really said it, so that he could tell them his sincerity. But in an instant, the stone man remembered once again that the master was no longer there.

"Senior?" Lu Qiming asked softly.

This question made the stone man struggle out of the lost soul that was like death for a moment, and he looked at the young man's familiar eyebrows in a daze, and then gradually rekindled a cluster of living fire in the dead silence.

“...... It's okay, it's just that I suddenly remembered the past. The stone man felt that he should be a little gentle, so he lowered his tone and smiled thoughtfully.

But the boy didn't see it, or didn't care. The stone man was a little disappointed, and continued.

This is the first time that Shiren has taught people, and Lu Qiming's meaning is even more different from him, he can't wait to pour out his thoughts on almost every sentence, lest he is not good at words, and the meaning of the words he teaches is unclear, which makes people puzzled when they hear it.

It's a pity that half of the scene at this time is based on the original existence of an emotionally charged scene, and the other half has nothing to do with Lu Qiming's experience because it comes from his wishful memories and fantasies.

Lu Qiming listened carefully, but did not contain the slightest emotion. In Lu Qiming's eyes, what he could see was a life-threatening coldness, and there was nothing else.

“...... Don't treat these powers as if they were foreign," the stone man took most of the pressure off the boy's wrist so that he could have the energy to feel the subtleties of power, "you should treat it as a part of yourself...... Or rather, just take it for yourself. ”

Lu Qiming's eyes were lowered, he listened silently, and occasionally silently followed what the stone man said, as if he didn't know anything. In fact, he himself knew that his control of these forces was far less difficult than the stone man imagined, and it was also different from the existence that Cheng Yuan God had told the stone man. But Lu Qiming was not prepared to correct the misunderstanding of the stone man.

The surroundings are very stable under the control of the stone people. The strange darkness that emerged from the boy's body occasionally accidentally brushed the stone man's arm, and was immediately separated by a layer of soft spiritual power. The young man's eyes moved slightly, and he began to deliberately converge inward, as if he was a little worried about hurting someone.

"It's okay, I'll be fine. The stone man said in a very slow tone, and asked softly, "Little master, you don't want to use this kind of ability in your heart, do you?" The stone man knew that the young man had a gentle temperament, which was completely different from the Chengyuan God, and he might not like this way of directly plundering his life force from the outside world.

Sure enough, the boy nodded slightly.

Shiren's heart was soft for a while, and he suddenly understood the mood of ordinary people when they cared for their children. In the past, he only knew that the master's code of conduct was the only correctness, but now he was replaced by the little master, and the stone man actually thought that this was also very good.

"But you still have to try to accept it as much as possible," Shi Ren persuaded in a low voice: "Your divine soul life is an existence that perfectly fits the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and you now feel that it is difficult to fuse these spiritual powers, and the most fundamental reason is actually ......" Shi Ren wanted to say Taiyi, but he was worried that the young man would be sad, so he said euphemistically: "It's that you haven't really identified with yourself like this." As long as you don't reject it anymore, you can do it slowly. ”

Lu Qiming listened to Shi Ren's words, and suddenly asked, "Why am I like this?"

The stone man was momentarily speechless, and he hoped that the boy would ask him a question, but it was difficult to answer.

As for the reason for the birth of the boy, Shiren knows very little, and can only get a glimpse or two from the words of Chengyuan God back then. He had heard his master say that He wanted to create a perfect and powerful being, beyond the limitations of mortal body and soul, and beyond Himself. At that time, the master's cultivation had come to an end, and no matter what, he could not go further, and Shiren did not know if the birth of the boy was due to the master's obsession with infinity.

In the end, the stone man replied with a slight doubt, "The master wishes you well...... You can have everything you want, and no one in the world can stand in the way of your wishes. ”

Lu Qiming smiled slightly when he heard this, and did not answer again.

At that moment, the stone man was shocked by the smile that the young man rarely gave him, and he couldn't distinguish how much sincerity there was in it, and when he wanted to take another look, the young man had already closed his eyes.

"I started. Lu Qiming said.

"Be careful," the stone man patted the young man's arm lightly, and looked after him intently, and said, "It's okay." ”

Lu Qiming now wants to return the vitality and spiritual power that he had plundered when his previous abilities were out of control to this world.

This matter cannot be delayed. Although this state is conducive to his own strength, it drags on for too long, and his body cannot bear it. Lu Qiming knew that he was afraid that before the seals were all broken, it would be impossible for his divine soul to absorb any energy.

The stone man didn't know about the seal, so he misunderstood that Lu Qiming's inability to fuse spiritual power was due to the knot in his heart, but this reason was not necessarily wrong. At least when Lu Qiming returned his spiritual power to the outside world, he was obviously suffering from the discomfort of going against the instinct of the divine soul, but he felt a strange ease in his heart, as if only by using the pain could he fight against the fluctuation in his heart.

But the more this happened, Lu Qiming adjusted his breathing to be more soothing and even, constantly forcing his attention to be highly concentrated.

It's almost there.

......

Just like the myth that opened the world, the sun suddenly reappeared, the blue sky curtain spread endlessly, the earth spread inch by inch, the grass grew and the warbler flew, and it was a vibrant and brilliant scene as far as the eye could see, beautiful and almost sacred.

The painting revealed in Tsing Yi before was a stunning enough spectacle, but it could never be compared with the real resurrection of heaven and earth, which is an irresistible beauty for mortals. For a while, even Ji Mu and Qiao Ji lost their minds, and they forgot when their feet touched the ground again.

It was also at this time that Shi Cai finally noticed these three insignificant mortals not far away. His gaze stopped on Ji Mu's face for a moment, and then he immediately gathered a strong killing intent.

Even the stone man couldn't understand that Cheng Yuan would force Lu Qiming to bear the blood contract, and it was precisely because of this incident that the stone man felt the paranoid madness of this soul fragment like never before, so that the stone man had to admit that it could not be equated with the master at all.

Shi Ren retracted the fierce look in his eyes and looked at Lu Qiming again, "Little master, do you want me to kill him now?"

Before the words fell, the stone man saw the young man's body shake, and he fell down softly with his eyes closed, as if he was relieved in his heart, and the whole person lost consciousness in an instant.

Unable to care about the others anymore, Shiren hurriedly stretched out his arms to catch him steadily, and found that the young man's body was surprisingly light, as if the whole person was so thin that only clothes remained.

Shiren blamed himself and felt guilty to the extreme, but he didn't dare to think about what had happened to the boy before, and his heart was completely blank for a long time, so he only knew that he carefully let the boy lie down first, and let him half lean on the crook of his arm to ensure that he could breathe smoothly.

Before the stone man could think of the next step, the young man in his arms suddenly groped and grabbed one of his wrists, and then opened his eyes.

“...... Little master?" the stone man asked softly.

Lu Qiming opened his eyes and looked straight at the sky, the light shone into his pupils, the color of the pupils was light and clear, the skin was pale and transparent, and the whole person seemed to be glowing.

And in the pouring of the sun, the shadow also appears. The shadows of the blades of grass and trees swaying in the breeze, the side faces of people, the wrinkles at the corners of their clothes, all the backlit places are dark.

The stone man said in a low voice, "Little master, are you awake?"

Lu Qiming lay quietly, as if he hadn't looked at anything.

Just when Shiren thought that the young man would fall asleep in such silence, Lu Qiming suddenly opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "Sometimes...... There were times when I really couldn't help it, and I wondered if someone could save me. ”

Shiren's heart trembled, and he felt an indescribable sourness spread in his chest, so suppressed that he could barely breathe.

“...... I'm sorry, never again," said the stone man, even though he didn't know what to say at all, "never again...... You, don't be afraid. ”

Lu Qiming's eyes moved, and he finally looked at the stone man. The shallow or thick shadows are like a diagonal web, and the stitches penetrate the texture of the man's skin in a delicate silence.

"Really!" the stone man swore in a heartfelt manner, but his voice was incredibly gentle, "Little master, I will never let anyone hurt you again...... If you feel uncomfortable, I'll refine a new body for you now, and it will be fine soon!"

Lu Qiming closed his eyes slightly again and said, "That'...... What about Cheng Yuan?"

Shiren paused and said, "It's ...... You recover first, your business, you have to hide it first, otherwise ......" After hesitating for a moment, Shiren asked in a low voice: "I'll make a puppet and pretend to be you first, okay?"

Lu Qiming was quiet for a moment and said, "I still can't beat Cheng Yuan, right?"

“...... Later on, you can. "Stone Humanity.

Lu Qiming nodded, looking a little tired. After a while, he said again: "If I say that I am willing to forget those things before, with Cheng Yuan...... Resolve the grudge, do the seniors feel happy?"

The stone man was shocked, suppressed his joy in disbelief, and said, "You, what did you say?"

Lu Qiming said: "After all, you said that it was the God of Chengyuan who created me, right?"

"Yes, yes," the stone man said excitedly, "you are the master's child! That soul fragment has no memory related to you, please don't blame the master...... I'll always protect you!"

Lu Qiming listened and smiled: "It's good." ”

Shiren didn't expect that the most difficult thing that was lingering in his heart would be solved so easily, and he was surprised for a while, and couldn't help blurting out: "Little master, you, can you call me uncle in the future?"

Lu Qiming suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the stone man in surprise.

Shi Ren had never seen such an almost childish look on the young man's face, and he couldn't help but say softly, "Are you surprised?"

Lu Qiming nodded and said, "Surprised." ”

The stone man smiled with a trance of memory, and said in a low voice: "I watched the master go all the way down from a teenager, and he sometimes ...... Just like my brother, so ......"

"No," Lu Qiming interrupted, "I'm not surprised by this. ”

His eyes were fixed on the stone man, and he asked incredulously, "Senior, are you amnesia?"

Stone Man didn't realize for a moment what he was referring to.

Lu Qiming sat up straight slowly, and continued to control the flesh and bones of the dark silk thread rooted into the stone man, without hurrying. He still held Shiren's wrist and said lightly: "Not long ago, my predecessor used these hands to pierce my body with ten thousand swords, cut me with thousands of swords, and mercifully saved a breath for me, so that Cheng Yuan could watch how I struggled, and how I was humiliated by a blood contract, and life was better than death." ”

Shi Ren's face turned pale in an instant, as if he had been poured a basin of cold water on his head, and the whole person trembled uncontrollably, "You ......"

"So I really couldn't understand how my predecessor could really say these things to me like they had never happened. Lu Qiming almost greedily extracted the cultivation of the stone man, and said quietly: "Now that he sees that I have some use, he comes over to coax me again, don't you think it's too late?"

The stone man felt his body weaken sharply, but he was full of desire to explain: "I really didn't lie to you, I really ......"

"'Uncle'......" chuckled, and in the stone man's suddenly bright eyes, Lu Qiming said sharply: "You are also worthy?!"

The stone man's body shook violently, barely able to support it.

It was undoubtedly extremely painful to be forcibly stripped of his cultivation and vitality, but Shi Ren seemed to have no feelings, and said miserably: "How can you believe me?"

Lu Qiming looked at him indifferently and ignored him.

The stone man could not hear the answer, and felt that he could not use the bullet more and more, and his whole body stiffened, as if even his heart was numb. He didn't resist, he just looked at the young man in a daze, and he couldn't say anything in his heart.

I don't know how long it took, but the stone man said gloomily: "Little master, ...... again I will no longer be able to protect you. ”

"I don't need it either. Lu Qiming said very calmly: "I just need that you can't kill me, that's enough." ”

Stone man is speechless. His body had begun to chill for a while, and he hadn't tasted weakness for many years, but at this moment, the stone man felt relieved. If he dies like this, he may be able to reunite with his master, which can be regarded as fulfilling his greatest wish.

But Lu Qiming stopped.

You won't kill me?, but the stone man didn't ask. He didn't dare to ask anymore.

Lu Qiming sealed the seal and sealed the power extracted from the stone man in his body, Fang smiled and said, "Seniors know what to hide, right?"

Shi Ren looked at the beam of gaze, and suddenly understood what Lu Qiming meant.

His remaining strength was no longer enough to protect himself in front of Cheng Yuan, and if Shi Ren told Cheng Yuan about this, Cheng Yuan would kill him first. And even if Shiren tells Cheng Yuan, then Lu Qiming can detonate the power that is now sealed and drag Cheng Yuan to die together.

These are the two choices left to him by Lu Qiming - either all three of them will die together, or only one Chengyuan will die in the end. How familiar and ironic, this is exactly what Cheng Yuan did before, and now Lu Qiming has returned the original number.

Shiren's lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just said, "...... I know. ”

"Good. Lu Qiming said with a smile, "It's time for the seniors to go back, you might as well accompany him to spend the last days." ”

The stone man shuddered slightly. He stood up, took a few steps back, kowtowed to Lu Qiming, and said in a low voice: "No matter what, the promise I made to the little master today will never change. ”

Lu Qiming smiled indifferently.

"I'll tell you that I will never trust someone who killed me. ”

He lowered his eyes tiredly, his voice was as soft as a sigh, and said, "If you really have a sincere heart, you can only keep it for yourself in the future." ”
