The sun is setting, and dusk is approaching.

On a smooth stone platform hidden by a dense forest in the mountain behind the Qiu family, the young man leaned against the uneven stone wall behind him, looking at the slanting sun that was gradually setting in the west with empty eyes.

This stone platform is a hidden place that the boy accidentally discovered when he was a child, and the family members definitely don't know about this place, so after leaving the family hall in the morning, the boy went straight here, and sat here for a whole afternoon...

"I don't have the strength, it's really not as good as shit, at least shit, no one dares to step on it..."

The distant sun gradually sank into the horizon, the sky was a little darker, thinking of everything that happened in the hall during the day, an indifferent voice suddenly poured out of the young man's mouth without warning...

Although the ceremony of the royal family's selection of horses was decided by the boy himself, when the extremely slim hope really came to his head, the boy began to retreat... So for the unattainable royal princess, the boy never had the luxury of really having it, even if he had been chosen...

However, when Qiu Lan Hetian appeared in the family hall and greeted the young man with a gesture that was almost charity, the young man's heart was as if he had suffered a major stimulus, and he was extremely eager to seize the source of strength, and then firmly guard the imperial princess he had never met by his side...

So after some impulse, the boy kept the title of the colt, but after the impulse, he still had to return to reality after all...

"Why..."

"Why can't you cultivate without exercises!" Raising his hand to look at the transparent meat worm that was like a dead pig, lying motionless in the palm of his hand, Qiu Tian's face sank suddenly, his fist slammed into the smooth stone surface under him, and his voice was a little trembling and roaring!

Qiu Tian's angry roar resounded on the hidden stone platform, but not long after, an old voice suddenly resounded on the stone platform:

"Hey, hey... Little doll, it looks like you need help..."

"Who is it!" The old man's voice sounded through the stone platform, Qiu Tian suddenly got up, his thin soul power was running rapidly, and he opened his mouth and shouted.

This stone platform, hidden in an extremely hidden mountain crevice in the mountain behind the family, surrounded by dense vegetation, is his own inadvertent discovery, the whole family will definitely not have a second person to know, now hearing the voice of a stranger, the heart is naturally extremely dignified...

"Don't look at it, it's on your arm..."

With his back against the stone wall, Qiu Tian was sweating profusely, his sharp eyes constantly scanning the dense vegetation around him, and the owner of the old voice seemed to be able to see Qiu Tian's every move, and after a while, it resounded on the stone platform again.

The old man's voice came again, Qiu Tian suddenly lowered his head when he heard the sound, looked towards his arm, and then saw the dark bracer on his left arm, which was flickering with a faint light at the moment...

In addition, what made him feel even more shocked was that the head of an old man was slowly emerging from his bracer at this moment...

"I'm grass, something!!"

On the night of the beginning of the moon, a living head suddenly appeared on his arm, no matter how he thought about it, he felt creepy, so he shouted and cursed, Qiu Tian desperately pulled the wrist guard of his arm, trying to shake it off.

However, after pulling hard for a long time, the black bracers still did not move, and when he pulled hard, the palm of his hand touched the old man's head several times, so Qiu Tian's scalp was numb again...

"Okay, I'm not a lonely ghost..."Being dragged by Qiu Tian, the old man's head was in a cold sweat, and he immediately opened his mouth to greet again, and then took advantage of Qiu Tian's slight pause, and a gap broke away from Qiu Tian's arm.

It was a gray-haired old man, the previous head was not his whole picture, the old man looked old, his old face was full of wrinkles, he was dressed in coarse linen clothes, his back was slightly bulging, and he was slightly hunchbacked...

"Who are you?" Looking at the old man in Mai in front of him with a shocked face, Qiu Tian swallowed deeply, and after a long time, seeing that the old man had not taken any action, he asked with a trembling voice.

"Little guy, don't be so excited, you don't know me, but I'm an old acquaintance with you..."Looking at the solemnity on Qiu Tianxiao's face, the wrinkled face of the old man in Mai smiled slightly, and said with a chuckle.

The old man didn't show anything unusual, Qiu Tian relaxed his frowning brows slightly, turned his head and glanced at the jet-black bracers on his left arm again, and after a while, he looked up at the old man in Mai again: "You have always stayed in my bracers?"

"That's right...", frowning, the old man in Mai nodded.

Seeing the old man nodding, Qiu Tian was a little happy in his heart, he used to learn from his mother-in-law that this jet-black bracer was worn on his arm when he was picked up back to the family, and over the years, as he grew older, the size of the bracer has also changed constantly, so this jet-black bracer must not be an ordinary thing, perhaps, it is also related to his own life experience...

So thinking of this, Qiu Tian looked up at the old man in Mai, and there was more light flashing in his eyes: "This bracer is the only relic left to me by my parents, since you are attached to this bracer, then you... Which of my ancestors is it?"

"Phew... Who is your ancestor!" Qiu Tian asked with joy, but when the old man heard this, his emotions were a little excited, and then he stood helplessly for a while before he reluctantly explained: "This thing is called the Naling Bracer, and there is a relatively high-grade Naling bead on it, which can not only store things, but also contain some special souls. ”

"Na Lingzhu?" Listening to the old man's strange explanation, Qiu Tian was stunned for a moment, turned his head and glanced at the bracer on his left arm, and sure enough, he saw a pitch-black gem above the bracer, and then he had some doubts in his heart, raised his head slightly, and looked at the old man in Mai with an interesting look: "This bracer can hold a special soul... Is it like you?"

Stared at by Qiu Tian's shy, the old man in Mai was full of black lines, and immediately responded: "That's right... It's some special soul like me..."

"Everyone is dead, you are not dead, are you a peerless master?" The old man did not deny it, Qiu Tian's eyes lit up a little again, and he immediately asked excitedly.

"Peerless... Little guy, you've heard too many adventure stories, I've been dead for many years, if I hadn't been hiding in this Na Ling bracer, maybe it would have dissipated long ago..."Looking at Qiu Tian, whose eyes were full of anticipation, the old man in Mai sighed silently, and shook his head helplessly to explain.

"Ahh How could this be, I thought I had met some treasure..."

Listening to the explanation of the old man in Mai, the light flashing in Qiu Tian's eyes suddenly dimmed, he thought that the old man was his ancestor, able to teach himself the magic skills of the world, after all, such a story is still widely spread among mainland explorers, but I didn't expect that this old man was just a lonely ghost, a lonely old man... So the corners of his mouth glanced lightly, and he looked loveless:

"Since it's not my ancestor, then you can leave quickly, with a lonely ghost on you, I'm panicking..."

Listening to Qiu Tianman's disgusted words, the old man was stunned, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching twice, and after a long time, he sighed and responded in a light tone:

"Little one, do you want to... Do you want to get stronger?"

The old man's words were full of teasing, Qiu Tian was stunned when he heard this, the word "become stronger" may not have much reaction to ordinary people, but it has a special meaning for him...

Turning his head and looking at the old man's wrinkled face, Qiu Tian looked solemn: "You should know that my soul is a worm..."

"Well, I know—" The old man nodded.

"Since you know, what's the point of asking me this kind of question?" frowned slightly, Qiu Tian responded in an indifferent tone, and after speaking, he turned his head... But after a while, Qiu Tian slowly turned his head again, but at this moment, there was a slight flash of light in the eyes of the old man in Mai:

"Could it be... Do you have a solution?"

"I have a way, but..." Looking at the glint in Qiu Tian's eyes, the corner of the old man's mouth smiled quietly, and he didn't finish speaking, satisfying Qiu Tian's appetite.

Hearing that the old man didn't say anything halfway, Qiu Tian felt a burst of disdain in his heart, but thinking that the words in the old man's mouth were too tempting, he frowned slightly, thought for a while, and chuckled at the old man again: "If you have a way to help me solve the divine soul... Then I'll let you stay in my bracer, or I'll be carrying a drag bottle all day, and it will be inconvenient..."

"Hehehehe... The little guy is really calculating..."

Listening to Qiu Tian's greeting, the old man in Mai immediately chuckled and sighed, calculating others for decades, but he didn't expect that today he was planted in the hands of a hairy boy, raised his head slightly, and looked at the look of expectation on Qiu Tian's face, the old man in Mai finally sighed, and said helplessly:

"Well... The old man can be regarded as asking for you, so I will reluctantly agree to you..."

Hearing that the old man finally agreed, Qiu Tian frowned lightly, and a chuckle appeared on the corner of his mouth, the old man also said before that only a person with a strong soul will continue to preserve his soul for a period of time after the death of his body, since this old man has been dead for so long and his soul has not dissipated, then he categorically can't believe that this old man is just an ordinary person...

"Fortunately, the scene that was driven away before was not performed in vain..."

With a chuckle on the corner of his mouth, Qiu Tian sighed secretly in his heart, and then under the disdainful gaze of the old man in front of him, he asked with joy: "Say, what can you do..."

Qiu Tian's words were full of anticipation, and when the old man in Mai heard this, he no longer cared whether he was acting before, a chuckle appeared on the old man's face, and after a long time, he said slowly to Qiu Tian:

"I have a practice..."
