Crickets still sing in the night, and crimson lanterns move in the wind, adding to the atmosphere of the peaceful night. After a while, the lake returned to a mirror-like calm, as if the previous waves had not happened. Under the light of the candle, Charlotte felt a lot warmer, but when the night wind blew, he subconsciously shivered a few times. After all, he had just crawled out of the lake, and now even his hair was wet and greasy, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"Huh. Charlotte sighed, wiped her hair with a freshly heated towel, and sat down cross-legged at the low table. "I said Sister Mu Qian, don't you know how to show mercy to your subordinates?" Xia Luo looked at the white-haired girl sitting beside him with a sad look. Like a little girl's prank, she stuck out her little red tongue and whispered, "Who told you to dress up like this?" ”

"Well, I wore this for a special reason. Anyway, Sister Mu Xian, what are you still doing in the book attic at this time?" Xia Luo, who was a thief, immediately changed the topic, but Xia Luo didn't know that Mu Xian didn't see him stealing books. "My sister just happened to be passing by, and I happened to see you enter the building through the window. Mu Xian looked at Xia Luo curiously with bright red pupils.

"Ahaha. Charlotte immediately replied, secretly saying that it was not good. However, at this time, Mu Xian showed a worried look and said: "But fortunately, it's Xia Luo, I heard that the enchantment on the fifth floor was triggered by someone a while ago, I thought it was the thief who wanted to touch the fifth floor again." ”

"The enchantment of the fifth floor has been triggered once?" Xia Luo frowned and muttered in a low voice, could it be that someone wants to enter the fifth layer?" "But Sister Mu Xian, you don't have to be so heavy, right?" Xia Luo rubbed his somewhat swollen wrist, it was obvious that Mu Qian had used at least ninety percent of his strength, and he had no intention of showing mercy at all.

"Hehe, how did you practice this American-style over-the-shoulder wrestling sister? It's not Wuma Guanyu, that villain was almost kicked on his forehead when he was in the martial arts arena at noon today, and he kept ridiculing you after that. Hmph, how could my Charlotte brother be so weak. ”

(So you don't have to be angry with me...)

"But sister, are you really good at saying that, Guan Yu? Let's not mention that he has the identity of the son and number one disciple of the lord of Longdu Mansion, and he is also your fiancé. Charlotte said helplessly.

"Hmph, I don't care if he's a cat or a dog, as long as he dares to bully my brother Charlotte, I will definitely not let him go. Mu Xian smiled slightly, as if doting, and picked up a towel to help dry Charlotte's hair.

Charlotte looked through the wooden door at the reddening moon in the sky. His smile faded as he remembered that there was a very important thing to do tonight besides stealing books. After the two were silent for a while, Xia Luo spoke: "Today, it's the moon devouring..." "Hmm... Is the time up?"

......

Walking deep into the forest from the backyard of Kongshangfu, it takes about fifteen minutes to reach the bottom of the mountains. And this road is extremely hidden, except for those trusted by Confucius, it is extremely difficult for normal people to find this hidden road. In addition, the night in this forest is often foggy, and blindly entering will only lose your way in the forest and never get out.

As if the moon was gradually dyed red by blood, there was a seven-story pagoda about seven stories high in a hidden place under the mountain range, and three large characters with the words "Demon Burning Tower" clearly engraved above the gate. The trees surrounding the pagoda have long been excavated, and the soft earth is covered with a layer of rough stone bricks to form an open square.

In the middle of the night, even the town was pitch black, but the windows of this pagoda leaked a faint candle light. The interior of the pagoda was empty, except for the only candle lit in the center, and the fire faltered as the evening breeze passed, and it looked like it would be extinguished at any moment. Xia Luo sat in front of the candle and looked at Confucius opposite, the two of them did not say a word, as if waiting for something. The only sound of the wind blowing in the entire pagoda is unusually terrifying in the middle of the night.

After a long time, Confucius finally spoke: "Xia Luo, do you think that in addition to our Eastern Far Continent, there are other continents with human footprints?"

"Of course, Master. Beyond the oceans lies a vast continent known to travelers as the West Pole. There is a completely different civilization in that continent, elves, humans, dwarves and other various races inhabit each territory to form a unique civilization. The cultivators on the West Pole Continent are also completely different from us, they prefer to call cultivators 'knights'. Charlotte paused, drew a delicate straight sword from the scabbard at his waist, and placed it in front of his master. And this is the proof. ”

Confucius stared at the straight sword. It is different from Dongyuan's straight sword, the hilt of the straight sword in front of you does not have any carving, nor does it have any decoration, and the sword body is longer and sharper than Dongyuan's straight sword. For Xia Luo's answer, the master nodded with satisfaction, and continued to ask, "Then what is the difference between the warriors and knights in Dongyuan?"

"Dongyuan's warriors are good at using the advantages of their own bloodline to mobilize the five elements in the environment, and at the same time use the five elements to achieve the effect of washing muscles and bones and enhancing the physique. The knights of the West Pole are more direct, using the elements in the environment to forcibly store them for their own use, so they rely more on their bodies and bloodlines. As long as the knights who break through the higher ranks, they can release the elements, such as the fighting energy they often use, the higher the rank, the more powerful. For this reason, the knights of the West Pole strictly distinguish the ranks between knights, soldiers, generals, handsomes, ministers, kings, emperors, and gods, and the more difficult it is to cross the ranks. Compared with the warriors in Dongyuan, there is no such system as class, just a single competition of martial arts. ”

"Because there are many ways for a martial artist to cultivate, as long as the bloodline and elemental affinity are different, then it is impossible to define a martial artist by class. This is also the reason why you can cultivate the 'Five Elements Reincarnation Decision' to a positive result. The master nodded again, sighed mournfully, and continued to ask Charlotte. "So, tell me about your opinion on the 'Five Elements Reincarnation Decision', for so many years, you are the only disciple of the old man who has been able to cultivate this decision into a positive result. ”

"'Five Elements Reincarnation Decision', cultivators must reach zero elemental affinity as a condition, plus they must ensure that the bloodline will not increase any elemental affinity after awakening, and only those who meet these two conditions are eligible to cultivate the 'Five Elements Reincarnation Decision', otherwise the balance between the five elements will be broken. And you have to find one of the purest five elements in the world before you can trigger the start of cultivation. With fire giving birth to earth, earth giving birth to gold, gold giving birth to water, water giving birth to wood, and wood giving birth to fire, it is lodged in the human body to achieve the effect of continuous reincarnation. As long as this decision is achieved, the cultivator will be able to perfectly control the Five Elements element, and its power will be extremely terrifying. Charlotte replied patiently.

"At the same time, remember that the 'Five Elements Reincarnation' must not be reversed, otherwise there will be no recovery!" Confucius said coldly. "Then what's the point of this, why does the old man insist on letting you cultivate?"

Charlotte knew the answer to this question very clearly. "The meaning of this is 'boarding'. Confucius read countless scrolls and walked thousands of miles before he came to the conclusion: To seal the 'Divine Beast-World-Destroying Demon Fox', there must be enough containers. Xia Luo paused and continued to answer: "The 'Five Elements Reincarnation Decision' itself is just an experiment of Confucius, an experiment in which the purest elements in heaven and earth are lodged in the human body. What's more, the experiment was a success. ”

So Confucius was even more daring to make another experiment. An experiment that uses people as a container to 'lodge' and seal the demon fox in the human body. Charlotte replied, "Just seven years ago, the experiment was successful. ”

After hearing Xia Luo's answer, Confucius exhaled deeply. I don't know if it's an illusion, but the Confucius in front of him seems to be even older. The light of the candle in front of him swayed, and the shadows of the two shook violently, as if the flame would be blown out at any moment.

After a long time, Confucius finally opened his mouth to break the silence: "The old man treats Yuhai Muxian and you like his own children, when the two of you promise that the old man is willing to become a 'container', the old man only has infinite remorse in his heart, if the old man has more than ten years to live, the old man will not make such a decision." In order to compensate you, the old man has done everything he can to raise you in the past ten years, to meet all your requirements as much as possible, and even to make the best marriage contract for the two of you. All this is so that you don't hate the old man. At this moment, it seems that in front of Xia Luo is not the respected and famous Confucius, but a thin old man who wants to make up for his mistakes.

Xia Luo smiled slightly and bowed to Confucius. At this time, the wooden door was quietly pushed open, and Mu Xian, who was wearing a white robe, walked into the tower and said to the two: "Master don't blame yourself, this is a decision made by me and Charlotte with the determination, and we don't regret becoming 'containers'. Mu Xian smiled at Xia Luo and sat down beside the two.

"Hearing the two of you say this, the old man is relieved. Confucius exhaled again, as if he had let go of a heavy burden he had carried for many years.

"Hmm, but speaking of which, why did Sister Mu Xian make a marriage contract with Wu Ma Guanyu, and I made a marriage contract with someone from the West Pole Continent?" Xia Luo suddenly remembered his marriage contract and muttered in a low voice.

(The other party seems to be called Eve.) I heard the master say that it was the daughter of a duke with great power on the West Pole continent. But I haven't seen each other since we were engaged, and I haven't even exchanged a letter, so why don't you find an opportunity to push it?) After all, it's the 21st century, and Charlotte is a little resistant to the engagement itself.

Besides, this is just a marriage contract, and since it is a marriage contract, of course, you can choose to break the contract.

(Hmm, but why does this plot seem similar?)

At this time, the crimson moonlight shone through the gap in the window in the tower, just shining on Mu Xian's body. Mu Xian suddenly showed a painful look, and large drops of sweat came out of his forehead. This concludes the conversation. Let's get started, Charlotte. Confucius said coldly, and Xia Luo nodded in response.

The two stood up, and after taking a few steps back, they saw that the white robe on Mu Xian's body gradually fell off, the snow-white and slippery skin was exposed to the air, and the fiery red carvings on his body loomed. Suddenly, a red light leaped up from the carved lines, and gradually transformed into a huge snow-white demon fox in the sky above Mu Xian, the demon red pupils had already been erected, staring at the two people in front of him.

It's exactly the same as the one Charlotte met ten years ago, with no change except for its reduced size. Although Xia Luo knew very well that this was the transformation of the energy leaked from the seal, the divine beast in front of him was as if it were real.

After Confucius sealed his hands and let out a low shout, the huge chain hidden in the pagoda leaped out as if it had spirituality, and fiercely locked the demon fox in front of him. "Do it, Charlotte!" Confucius shouted in a low voice.

Charlotte no longer hesitated, pressed her right hand slightly on her chest, and then the five colors gradually lit up on his chest, forming an endless ring of five elements.

"Five Elements Reincarnation Turn!"
