Chapter 84: The Dark Shadow
"Li Lin, what can you say, don't be mysterious, what is the relationship between the two of us. ”
The relationship between Su Yun and Li Lin is indeed very good, and he has never seen Li Lin even say a word as carefully as he did today.
"Shh......h Be quiet, Su Yun, do you remember the auction held by Mr. Jin Yezi at the Xiaotian birthday celebration that year?"
Li Lin hinted to Su Yun in a low voice, and asked very nervously about that year's auction, but that auction had passed for several years.
"Nonsense, how can this be forgotten, in order to go to the conference, Master Xugu also rewarded each of us with a bottle of pills, Master Xugu deserves to be a master, his pills are different, after I took those pills, I haven't even been sick in the past few years, think about it's really your luck, such a good errand will fall on the heads of the two of us......"
Of course, Su Yun will not forget it, I believe that at Xiaotian's birthday celebration that year, the most unforgettable thing was that auction.
Master Xugu, an alchemist of the Xuanyuan family, the alchemist not only has a special identity, but also has a very lofty status, the way of alchemy is extremely broad and profound, not just a person who wants to learn can learn, there are very few people with alchemy potential, and there are very few people who can reach the entry qualification of alchemy, let alone become a real alchemist, and even a master.
To be able to become an alchemy master, talent, opportunity, wisdom, perseverance, etc., requires a lot of innate and acquired conditions, and many people with alchemy talent and potential are discouraged under such harsh conditions, and some even give up halfway, and finally choose to give up and devote themselves to studying the cultivation realm.
The identity of Master Xugu is unknown, the cultivation realm, the alchemy level is also unknown, the people of the Xuanyuan family respect him very much, he is the only alchemist of the Xuanyuan family, and there are several people in the family who worship him as a teacher, but for many years they have also been absent-minded, confused, and have the mentality of being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day.
The patriarch was anxious in his eyes, and he didn't know how many times he talked to them, but they also promised to study hard, but afterwards they were like a deaf ear and disdainful.
Master Xugu is quite open to this situation, and never deliberately asks for anything, he often tells the patriarch that interest is the basis of everything and cannot be forced.
"It's good if you remember, it's good to remember, what Su Yun wants to say, I have to start with the apprentices of Master Xugu, on the day of Xiaotian's birthday ceremony, several of them actually had something at home, and they went to Master Xugu for leave, and Master Xugu was going to participate in the auction at night, that kind of fresh occasion, think about how Master Xugu could miss it, but the medicine garden in the back mountain can't be left unattended, so Master Xugu has been worrying about guarding the medicine garden at night, and finally didn't happen to run into us, so he asked us to help him take a look, and promised a bottle of pill as a reward, but something happened that night......”
Li Lin was sweating on his head after speaking, which showed that what he was going to say was indeed very important, and at the same time he was very scared.
"What, out...... Something happened, something ...... What's wrong?"
Su Yun saw Li Lin's expression, speech and demeanor, and he was also flustered, if something bad really happened, he needed to bear it with Li Lin.
"I didn't care too much at the time, I thought it was those apprentices of Master Xugu, what bad things did they do behind their masters' backs, after all, they seemed to have discussed, Master Xugu was going to attend the auction that night, and they happened to have something at home, Su Yun, how could there be such a coincidence. ”
Li Lin looked at the door and then at Su Yun.
"I didn't think much about it at the time, but we knew it the next day, it was not a coincidence at all, and nothing happened at home, they went to Tiansu Hall to watch the auction without knowing from Master Xugu, but they didn't think that they were discovered by Master Xugu on the spot, and it is said that they were severely punished after coming back, and I know this." ”
Su Yun also became nervous and inexplicable, although he didn't know what was going on.
"Well, so that's the case, I dispelled the idea at the time, and made sure that what I saw was not the work of a few of them, I originally wanted to report it to the top, but then I felt that I was a light person, it was better to have more than one thing, and besides, even if I said it, no one believed it, so I put it in my heart, and then even I forgot about it, and it wasn't until the disappearance of Xiaotian this time that my memory was reawakened......"
Li Lin had fear and regret on his face.
"Li Lin, don't scare me, why did you have anything to do with Xiaotian, what did you see?"
Su Yun's heart suddenly became even more nervous, Xiaotian's matter affected his whole body, from last night's disappearance to the current unexpected surprise, it can be said that everyone is happy, but don't do anything else, he can't think of the reaction of the eighteenth master, and this is related to himself, but at this moment, looking at Li Lin's serious face, he knows in his heart that something big must have happened.
"Su Yun, in fact, the back mountain of our Xuanyuan family is very safe, who will run there if there is nothing to do, and no one dares to do it, you and I were drinking and chatting in the pavilion on the hillside, and finally talked about the Changbai Pagoda that Xuanyuan Huan Ancestor said, didn't I ask you to accompany me to see it at that time, that day the Changbai Pagoda was rumored to be boiling, I was curious at the same time, of course I was also tempted, just imagine who would not be tempted, it is a fairy weapon." ”
Li Lin is still excited when he talks about the Changbai Pagoda now, the Changbai Pagoda has touched the hearts of everyone in the Yueming Valley in the past few years, from its bizarre legend, from the fact that it was determined to be an immortal weapon by the ancestor of the Xuanyuan family who discovered it back then, and then to the ability to test the talent potential that caused a sensation in the Yueming Valley, all of which make people yearn for the Changbai Pagoda and are full of illusions.
"I drank a little too much at the time, so I didn't go with you, you said at the time that I was too strong to drink, and I staggered away, and now I think about it, it turns out that you were also drunk......
Su Yun didn't make fun of it, didn't despise it, but looked impatient, praying in his heart that nothing big would happen!
"That's right, I should have been a little drunk at the time, but I woke up again, I was scared to wake up, the weather was hotter than now, there was a cold wind, the cold directly penetrated into my body, bone marrow, that is, at that moment, I was awakened......"
Li Lin said, he couldn't help but be a stirring spirit again, his face was full of fear and uneasiness.
"You...... Are you alright?"
Su Yun was also frightened by Li Lin's heart.
"At that time, I went to the Changbai Tower in a daze, the back mountain of that night seemed to be very quiet, the usual back mountain at night, although it is not said to be very lively, but there are also many people who come here to activities, the venue is vast, the fragrance of medicine is fragrant, and it will not disturb the people who have fallen asleep in the mansion, we both often come to take a walk, but that night is too quiet, if I don't drink too much and get a little drunk, it is estimated that I will not go to the Changbai Tower alone, I have already returned the same way. ”
Houshan is indeed the place where everyone in the Xuanyuan family mansion likes to go at night, whether it is a descendant or a clansman, they have left a little life for Houshan at night, whether it is joy or sadness, whether it is sweat or tears.
"Just when I was about to walk to the Changbai Tower, an earth-shattering terrifying aura struck, filling the entire venue, and a chill surged all over my body in an instant, and I was also awakened in an instant, trembling and looking around, it turned out that the terrifying aura came from the garden, because I saw a black shadow from the sky above the garden at a rapid speed, and countless huge black shadows appeared in the air, stayed for a moment and then slowly disappeared......"
Li Lin's clothes were wet at the moment, and his face was even more pale without a trace of blood.
"Li Lin, there are wild beasts and mysterious things in the garden, everyone knows this, you are really unlucky, but now think about the scene at that time, it is indeed scary. ”
Su Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead, and while sympathizing with Li Lin in his heart, he was also puzzled, what does this have to do with Xiaotian, everyone knows the mystery of the garden, as for the figure is not the predecessor of the Xuanyuan family, or there are elders who go out to do things inside, everyone also knows this, they often go inside to do some things, but no one knows what they have done.
"Su Yun, I know what you're thinking, I thought the same as you at the time, but such thoughts can't stand up to pondering......"
Li Lin looked at Su Yun deeply.
"Oh? that's ......."
