In the southwest of Hanhai, the quicksand lakes around the Yongze Oasis have all been filled in, and a huge city has been built around the gorgeous palace of the master of the sand sea, although it is not as large as the pastoral mansion of Yuanzang City, but it is also much larger than the ordinary Shuocheng.

Merchants line up in the sand and merge into the city, making the whole city brightly lit up even at night. Buildings with Western characteristics are lined up one after another, and occasionally there are a few oriental-style houses dotted around. You can see all kinds of faces here, black-haired and black-eyed dry people, brown-haired and black-eyed Sai people, blond and blue-eyed Bomi people, and even Seroro people with colorful hair and eyes...... Even the Inhumans with wings, four arms, and three eyes abound, and goods from the East and the West are also sold endlessly here, and even some stalls sell silk, porcelain, spices, and glass mixed together.

There is a little chaos in the bustle, and there is order in the chaos, and the quicksand city rises in this atmosphere and becomes the pearl in the middle of the sea.

Standing in the highest palace in Quicksand City, Li Guang withdrew his gaze from all this, took a soup bowl from the handmaid beside him, and walked over to Old Gordon, who was reclining lazily on a cloud bed in the center of the palace. First, he tried the temperature of the decoction in his hand, and felt that it was appropriate, so he scooped a spoonful and brought it to the mouth of old Gordon without saying a word.

From the moment the inner court was consummated, he had already recreated the essence blood and cured his aphasia, but he still didn't like to talk very much. For him, communication does not have to rely on words, people who care about themselves will naturally understand their own minds, and people who don't care about themselves do not need to take it to heart.

Old Gordon is even older than he was a few years ago, that's for sure, even the power of immortals in this world can't escape the ravages of time.

In fact, there is no such thing as eternity. The immortals are known as immortal, but they only live for a while, compared to the short life of mortals, they can indeed be regarded as eternal in a sense. It's just that cultivation is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat, once a martial artist loses his martial will, and Xiuzhen forgets his own way of practice, it is the arrival of their old age.

Perhaps the only thing they can last forever is that tireless heart for the Tao.

Old Gordon is like this, although his body is already old, but looking at his most proud disciple, looking at his martial arts inheritance and even the hope of carrying forward, his heart of seeking the Tao is burning again, although I am dead, but there are successors, and the Dao of the Circle of Destruction is endless, who can say that he is not living in another form. In this way, he looked at Li Guang's expression even softer.

"This time things are going well, right?" After sucking the liquid in the spoon, old Gordon casually asked about the harvest of Li Guang's trip.

Li Guang's face was indifferent and he didn't say anything.

Old Gordon knew his character, and he didn't wait for him to answer, and said to himself: "I knew that the miscellaneous breed was unreliable, even if I raised him and taught him martial arts, in the end, he was not a white-eyed wolf." If it weren't for the fact that there wasn't a suitable person to replace him, he would have been cleared out long ago. But that's fine, give you a practice of your hands, and practice with me all day long, you're probably tired of it, right?"

The last sentence was followed by a questioning tone, but after seven years of getting along and knowing each other well, Old Gordon still didn't wait for Li Guang's answer, but after drinking a spoonful of decoction medicine handed by Li Guang again, he continued: "Speaking of which, this quicksand city has also been built for two years, and your name should have almost been introduced to the Central Plains, if it is really like what you said, your eldest brother is still alive, and he has come to find it a long time ago, the Guanghan Gao family is not an ordinary force, one of the seventeen families in the world, you should know how terrifying it is, your eldest brother has not appeared yet, I'm afraid ......"

Li Guang squeezed the spoon's hand for a moment, and then returned to normal, continued to pinch the spoon to scoop the soup, test the temperature, and deliver it to Old Gordon's mouth, seemingly completely undisturbed by Old Gordon's words.

"Hey," Old Gordon took another sip of the pottion, looked at the bottomed soup bowl, and Li Guang, who was about to leave, sighed and said: "Actually, I am no longer your opponent, and the promise that you can leave if you defeat me is still valid." ”

This apprentice is an absolute genius, two years ago he was already able to match himself head-on without being much inferior, and two years later, his skills are becoming more and more exquisite, he is still slightly inferior in the hands of his gradually aging self, what a shrewd figure old Gordon is, how can he not understand the other party's mind.

In this regard, he has always pretended not to know, and today he doesn't know what to think, and he actually stabbed it, maybe he was really old and soft-hearted, old Gordon thought a little self-deprecatingly.

Li Guang handed the empty medicine bowl to the maid, picked up a piece of brocade and wiped the corners of old Gordon's mouth, for old Gordon's words, there was not even a ripple in his eyes. After doing all this, he stood up and walked out of the temple. It's just that when he was about to walk to the gate of the hall, he hesitated a little and said for the first time: "I will go to the Central Plains, but not now." ”

"When?" said old Gordon, who seemed to ask casually, but there seemed to be a glint in his eyes.

"Waiting for you to die. ”

Li Guang's tone did not carry the slightest emotion, nor did he have any superfluous explanations, and turned to leave after speaking, but these seemingly cursed words made old Gordon feel a long-lost warm current in his heart, and said to the back of the fading back with some strength he had just accumulated: "If you can, take my ashes to the Central Plains together, if you drop me in the Li family set in Jiuyuan Qianbao by the way, if it doesn't take any trouble, help me erect a monument and write a few words, my original name is Li Yi......"

In a trance, old Gordon saw the figure that was gradually moving away and stopped again, bowed his head slightly, as if in response, so he stopped speaking, smiled with relief, and slept quietly in the maid's fan.

Li Guang walked through the pavilion and came to a corner of the palace complex, where there was a beautiful house, he pushed the door without any pause, and the blue-haired girl sitting on the edge of the bed in the room almost screamed, and when he saw that it was him, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and held the cry back into his throat.

It's just that she suddenly thought of something again, looked down at her almost ** body, "Ah", closed her eyes and curled up on the bed with both hands on her chest, her cheeks were crawling pink, and even spread to her two crystal small ears, and her long eyelashes trembled and trembled, showing that she was extremely uncalm in her heart.

Li Guang only frowned a little at her reaction, and there was no other superfluous expression, as if everything in this world was not enough to move him.

He walked into the room without hesitation, came to the blue-haired girl's bed, reached out and grabbed her two wrists, and slowly opened her two arms that protected her chest.

The blue-haired girl seemed to struggle, but finally opened her arms in obedience, and at the same time, her eyes were closed harder, her lips were pursed tightly, and her cheeks were red as if they were dripping blood.

Li Guang still didn't have any unusual expression, ignoring the pair of little white rabbits on the blue-haired girl's chest and the two touches of pink on them, and his eyes were all focused on the dark purple marks under her ribs, which were caused by the whipping of the Gushaian wind.

The imprint was dark in the purple, and it was also raised high, which was terrifying. However, Li Guang was not surprised by these things, and skillfully picked up gauze and ointment from the small table beside the bed, and carefully applied them. Since she was a child, the girl has been beaten for Li Guang, and similar injuries are not uncommon, if it weren't for Li Guang learning some alternative medical skills with his eldest brother, and he has been studying for a long time, and made a magic ointment with the ability to reduce swelling and scars, I am afraid that there will not be a good place on the girl's body. Even now, if you look closely, you can see shallow marks on the back of the back, buttocks, etc.

Maybe it's because I'm used to Li Guang's after-the-fact healing, or maybe it's because I grew up with each other and I don't guess, Xiao Nian after getting through the initial shyness, spread out his limbs and hold his stomach like a broken jar, and let Li Guang do it.

At this time, she seemed to remember what happened before, slowly opened her eyes and carefully observed Li Guang's expression, and whispered tentatively: "Master, are you angry?"

As with old Gordon, Li Guang had no interest in answering her questions at all, and the expression on his face was also indifferent, without any expression of emotion. It's just that Xiao Nian is a three-eyed god race, and he can punish evil and destroy delusion, and even has the ability to attack;

Although Xiao Nian's strength is too poor to see through other people's thoughts, he can still reach the first level of mind reading and empathy in the face of people who get along with him day and night.

At this time, she could obviously feel a trace of anger that was not strong but still faintly rising, so she said pitifully: "Master, I also want to help you share your worries, the caravan is missing, it is a big blow to the prestige of Quicksand City, Luo Ya has counted, several shops have closed because of the lack of business routes." ”

Li Guang was unmoved, and continued to move on his hands, applying ointment, bandaging, and helping her close her dress and tie the tie.

Xiao Nian mustered up his courage, reached out and grabbed his hands, looked at the face that even women would be jealous of, and pouted and pleaded: "Master, don't be angry, okay, Xiao Nian will not dare in the future, he must listen to his master's words and stay in this palace and never go anywhere." ”

Li Guang pulled away her hand, stood up, turned his back to her, and said word by word: "A big life doesn't mean that you won't die." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Nian breathed a long sigh of relief, the master has always cherished words like gold, and now he is willing to speak, which means that this matter is in the past. Of course, saying such things also proves that the owner is really angry this time. She stuck out her tongue, and hurriedly corrected her attitude and swore: "Xiao Nian knows that it is not easy for Xiao Nian's life to be saved, master, please believe me, there will be no next time." ”

Li Guang groaned slightly, noncommittal, and just when Xiao Nian couldn't hold back and wanted to look at his expression head-on, he spoke again: "I will go to the Western Regions in the near future, you can prepare and go with me." ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Xiao Nian to react before stepping away, wandering around the deep palace boringly. The maidens of the guards they met along the way knew that he was about to become the new master of the palace, and saluted more respectfully than ever.

A feeling of loneliness and loneliness arose.

He walked up to a terrace, looked at the lights of thousands of homes outside the palace, his eyes were foggy, and he said to himself in a slightly choked tone: "Big brother, Xiaoguang still has some things to do, I can't go to you for the time being, you must wait for me......"
