"If you refuse to learn my magical powers for a day, I won't let you call the master for a day. The old man looked at the cracked dragon egg and said firmly, "This matter is not negotiable. ”

Mu Xiaozhi stared intently at the dragon egg, a little guy struggling to break free from the slime and thin shell, its fur was dark gray, its physique was small and slender, how could it think of the fierce appearance of dominating the sky in the future?

"I obviously learned it from you, but I'm not very interested in swordsmanship. Mu Xiaozhi muttered, "Girls' homes, dancing knives and guns are not beautiful. ”

The old man was silent, he spent his whole life just to get a glimpse of the hidden realm of the sword, it was really not good to be despised by others, and he would have killed someone else, but he liked this little girl very much, so he didn't complain.

"Can it come out?" Mu Xiaozhi suddenly asked.

This is probably the so-called pun, the old man to her liking, gave two answers.

"Its blood is dirty, the congenital dragon soul is broken, there is a ninety percent chance of dying in infancy, and even if it comes out of the shell, there is a chance that more than seventy percent will die in infancy. ”

"As for him, the [Aoba Domain] has been opened three times, the first time is for the Pope's own use, the second is Runjun, and then the elder brother in your mouth. The first two undoubtedly have a solid heart and can withstand the temptation of slowing down time and space in the domain, and your brother, he is too young, whether it is too much experience or attainment, he knows very well that he needs a lot of time, and the [Aoba Domain] is a good opportunity to catch up with his predecessors. ”

Mu Xiaozhi's breathing was a little short, "So, do you think he will be reluctant to come out?"

"There is no such thing as eternal life in this world, and the existence of [Aoba Domain] is infinitely close to this miracle. He longs for power, he needs time, and these can become obstacles in his heart. He will sink in near-eternity, obsessed with the pursuit of great power, and then, in the pursuit of it, he will not be depressed, and finally, he will end his long life. ”

"You mean, even if you die, you won't want to come out?"

The old man nodded, "When you are not enough to dominate the power, you will become a slave of the power, such a weak person no longer has the courage to return to the present world, self-termination is the most gentle and comfortable way for them." ”

"Why did you know so clearly?" Mu Xiaozhi saw that the old man felt the same way, and always felt that something was not quite right.

The old man smiled and asked, "Do you know why Prince Runjun is so young, why he can command the Jedi Expeditionary Force and crown him the king of the Western Realm?"

"Because he is the child of the Holy Queen?"

"No, the Holy Queen never had children. ”

The old man didn't care to reveal a secret that was enough to shock the world, he shook his head and said, "The reason why a person is great lies in his experience and tempering, if he is too young, then his status and achievements are limited." Prince Runjun was valued by the Pope and entered the [Aoba Domain] to practice, which is of course extremely lucky. But what is really rare is that he can leave everything behind and appear alone after a thousand years. ”

Mu Xiaozhi understood, "The longer you stay in the [Aoba Domain], the more difficult it will be to let go of your obsessions. ”

"Yes. The old man nodded, "The Pope said that there is no young man in this world who can compare to Runjun, so ten days is probably the limit." And he ...... It's the fourth day?"

It's the fourth day.

Zhan Tao has not come out yet.

The Pope is still watering the flowers, not angry or disappointed by his broken covenant.

The white-robed cardinal, who was not far away, sighed, for now he could only wait and see, the Pope made it very clear that no one could force him to come out unless he wanted it. Although the Pope is the founder of the [Aoba Domain], he can open the entrance to the domain and close it at the right time, but he cannot strip any of the souls in the domain.

Every minute was frustrating enough, because it was quite a long time compared to the [Aoba Domain]. The white cardinal was saddened because the Pope had seen the wrong person, and because he himself had lost sight. Disappointment is the most helpless emotion, the monastic path should be pure-hearted and has few desires, and the white bishop broke the vows today.

From a great distance, the Pope did not face anyone, but he knew that as soon as he spoke, many people would hear him. He took the kettle and said leisurely, "Let's go to the mountains and have a look." ”

The four bishops responded in unison, and it turned out that they had all come.

On the small wooden table of the cabin on the mountain, the little dragon was still using its remaining strength to break the shell, but it could be seen that it was running out of strength, and its body surface temperature was dropping, and it was about to freeze in the shell. Mu Xiaozhi couldn't do anything other than encourage her eyes, she looked away, looked at the old man and asked seriously, "Is Heavenly Father really dead?"

The old man was silent, and Mu Xiaozhi said again, "Who is the person on the sickbed? The disguised person is the Holy Queen herself, she wants to kill you silently." Because you are alive, Heavenly Father cannot die. ”

"You guessed some of it, but not all. The old man didn't intend to hide it, he didn't say anything, just because no one had asked, he continued, "That woman can't kill me, after the puppet died, she was scared, and she came here just to check whether the barrier was stable and to reassure herself." Yes, I was once my Heavenly Father, but now I am just a withered old man in his twilight years. ”

When secrets are like gray foam rising from the surface of a black sea, some incomprehensible and complicated things become taken for granted. This is nothing more than a drama of a woman trying to manipulate the regime and designing to imprison the emperor. The so-called harmony and affection are naturally fake, the death on the sickbed is just a stand-in puppet, and the death of the Heavenly Father is the first step of the mother's ascension to the throne, which she has played for many years and will continue to play for many years.

"This mountain...... Is it the enchantment of the Holy Queen?" Mu Xiaozhi always found it difficult to accept that in his eyes, the old man who lived in seclusion and isolation in the mountains was actually a prisoner with limited freedom. She thought that the old man had obtained real freedom, but it turned out that behind the freedom was a dark and narrow cage.

"What a mountain. The old man sneered, "The rugged mountains and rocks, grass and trees here are all the techniques of that woman, there are no mountains, only enchantments." ”

"Under the throne, there are bones. Mu Xiaozhi sighed.

Suddenly, the old man's lazy color changed, a pair of dim old eyes became bright and bright, and even his voice was faintly excited, "It's coming." ”

"Who's here?" Mu Xiaozhi just asked, and realized that this was a very stupid question.

In this barren mountain and wilderness, who else will come except for people with ulterior motives?

"Stay in the house, although you are not my apprentice, but I always don't want a female doll to die in my territory, and it will be bad to spread the reputation after all. The old man came to the door, and his hands were empty, not only a sword, but not a club, not at all like a battle.

Mu Xiaozhi's heart was sour, the old man's back reminded her of the scene of the late twilight soldiers going to the battlefield to the death, he was already so old, did he really have the strength to fight?

The door opened, and in the empty mountains and fields, there were small beasts walking around, butterflies and insects dancing, and silver armor heavenly soldiers and golden chariots waiting to gather momentum. Until this moment, there was no sword in the old man's hand. However, when the tips of his eyebrows arched, and his sharp eyebrows rose to a certain arc.

There was a real sword intent between heaven and earth.
