Chapter 17: The Protector of the Way (II)
Lin Yan has become the new protector of the way, and the three of them are considered a family, and they are no longer so restrained when they speak. After talking for a while, Lin Yan finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked the question he had been wondering about: "Elder Xuan, Palace Master, you two have always said that I have passed the test of the protector of the Dao, but I have never figured it out, when did they test me, why didn't I feel it at all?" ”
Xuan Su and Bing Qing'er looked at each other and smiled. Xuan Su said: "I finally asked." I'm still wondering when I'll ask this question? It's so embarrassing to be so calm at such a young age, and to endure only asking until now. ”
Lin Yan opened his mouth and smiled awkwardly, his old face blushed, and he unconsciously reached out and scratched his head.
Seeing Lin Yan's embarrassment, Bing Qing'er's eyes showed a sincere smile, and the Dan room was filled with spring, which made people feel like a spring breeze.
Xuan Su didn't let go of this opportunity and persuaded him: "Qing'er, you should be happy and smile, this is in line with this age, don't worry about the country and the people all day long." The days to come are still long, don't be overwhelmed by the responsibilities of the palace master, you have done a good job. ”
Bing Qing'er's eyes were red, and she said gratefully: "Thank you for your old love!" ”
"Boy, it's not easy for Qing'er, I have to help more in the future. You know? Let me know if I don't do my best and see how I fix it. Xuan Su warned Lin Yandao.
Lin Yan said to each other: "I know, Xuan Lao." ”
"Alright, now let's talk about the test. Remember what happened while resting by the volcanic clear pond? ”
"What happened to me during my break?" Lin Yan thought about it, suddenly came to his senses, and said, "You always say: illusion test? ”
"Yes, it's the illusion test, if you can not be lost in the illusion, you can pass the test when you walk out of it."
Lin Yan thought about the experience in the illusion, and sighed in his heart: in the illusion, he seemed to have felt the scene tremble many times, and it was he who took the Nine Heavens Xuaniron Rod from the space bracelet at that time! Pretending to be calm, Lin Yan asked, "Elder Xuan, is that illusion realm the illusion array that you have opened?" I really got hit without even noticing. ”
"It's not. There is no phantom array, it is the work of the mirage. ”
"Mirage?"
"Yes, Mirage, it's older than the Ice Palace. The reason why the Ice Palace was established was that the Ice Mirage chose the first palace master of the Ice Palace to rely on. ”
Hearing this, Lin Yan was directly stunned: How old is that ice mirage!
Seeing Lin Yan's expression, Bing Qing'er knew that he should have misunderstood, and explained: "Young Master Lin, there may be a misunderstanding, this ice mirage is not another ice mirage." The mirage is a very ancient and peculiar life, and its life continues in a different way, it is reborn and remembered. ”
After listening to Bing Qing'er's explanation, Lin Yan returned to normal: although he had never heard of the inheritance method of the ice mirage, it was still acceptable, "Palace Master, the ice mirage is so peculiar, I wonder if you can invite you to see it?" ”
"Why not?" Bing Qing'er finished answering and took out the jade whistle to call the ice mirage.
Not long after, a creature that was too long and had a crystal clear body that resembled an earthworm swam into the Dan room.
"Young Master Lin, it is the Ice Mirage, the Holy Lord of my Ice Palace."
"Holy Lord?" Hearing Bing Qing'er's honorific title for Ice Mirage, Lin Yan understood the status of Ice Mirage in the Ice Palace, and his respect for Ice Mirage was especially good.
The ice mirage swam around Lin Yan twice and swam to Bing Qing'er's side, although there was no communication, but his attitude towards Lin Yan was quite good.
Bing Qing'er and Xuan Su glanced at each other and didn't say much.
"Lin Yan, who has just taken up the position of the Ice Palace's protector, it is said that he should stay here for a while and get acquainted with each other. But I've communicated with Mei Operator, and I know that I have been away from home for more than five years, and I must miss my family very much, and my family will miss it very much, so I won't let me be embarrassed, let's go home and have a look first. When the family is settled, come back again. Lin Yan's secret mystery is not uninterested, but when he lives to his age, he knows what to ask and what not to ask. Since you may not get an answer if you ask, why bother to do this difficult person, it is better to sell it first, and everyone gets along better first.
Bing Qing'er believed in Xuan Su's character, and although she hoped that Lin Yan could take over the responsibility of protecting the Dao as soon as possible, she did not refute Xuan Su's suggestion.
The two of them did this, which greatly increased Lin Yan's good feelings, and thanked the two of them with their fists: "Xie Palace Master, Xuan Lao is considerate." Lin Yan will return as soon as possible and take on the responsibility of protecting the road. ”
"This place is the northernmost point of the continent, and the journey back to Thundering Mountain is not short, and the way back is not easy." Xuan Su reminded.
"Please also ask Xuan Lao to show me the way."
"There are two ways to go to Thundering Mountain: one is to run through the White Tiger Continent to reach Thundering Mountain; The second is to reach the Xuanwu Continent in the southwest direction first, and then return from there. ”
"Listening to Xuan Lao, it should be a lot closer to take the first road, right?"
"That's it, it's going to be more than twice as close."
One road is more than twice as close as the other, and I have to make a choice, there must be something wrong with the nearest road, it is not so easy to walk. Lin Yan looked at Xuan Su, waiting for him to give an explanation.
Xuan Su smiled and pointed at Lin Yan, "The kid won't beg me." ”
"Elder Xuan, you are sympathetic to the juniors, so naturally you won't let me go." Lin Yan said with a smile.
"In the early years, it was naturally the best choice to go to the White Tiger Continent. It's a little troublesome, but it's going to kill you; But now it doesn't work: the black alliance invaded eastward, the mainland was in chaos, and the thieves plundered. The White Tiger Continent bordered the Land of Chaos, and was the first to be attacked, and now, except for some important cities, there is almost no place to live. Take the Xuanwu Continent to detour, although the road is far, but it is better to be safe. Say yes or no? ”
If there was no scene in the illusion, Lin Yan would rather spend more time to be safe; But the grievances with the Heaven and Earth Alliance, Lin Yan always wanted to solve them with his own hands. After mentioning the illusion, Lin Yan strengthened his determination. "Elder Xuan, I want to go to the White Tiger Continent."
Xuan Su and Bing Qing'er were stunned. Hyun Su asked, "Can you tell me why?" ”
"There is a grudge in Tiger Roaring City that needs to be resolved by hand."
"Tiger Roaring City? …… Heaven and Earth Alliance? ”
"Hmm."
"Heaven and Earth Alliance Huo Batian, a veteran martial god, I heard that his heart was injured for a while, but his strength is not something that this martial god who has just been promoted can compete with, besides, there are many powerful juniors and subordinates around him, and it is really unwise to go alone now."
"Xie Xuan cares! I will deal with it carefully, I will not act recklessly, I can't move Huo Batian, and it should be feasible to wait for the opportunity to eliminate some of his subordinates. ”
"It seems that there is a lot of grudge with the Heaven and Earth Alliance."
"The alliance with heaven and earth is not only my personal enmity, but also the enmity of my deceased friend (Chu Chu) and Engong (Chu Hongtu), and I am unwilling not to end it with my own hands."
"Well, since I have made up my mind, I will not persuade each other anymore, and I will be careful in everything. Still young, there is time for revenge. ”
"I made a note of it."
"If there is nothing else to do, rest and rest, it will take a lot of time to come and go, and the Ice Palace is still waiting to take over the responsibility of protecting the path as soon as possible." Xuan Lao didn't do anything to keep it, and simply said neatly.
"Yes, Xuan Lao. The rest is almost over, and I'm going to go. The palace master will meet again, and Xuan Lao will meet again. Lin Yan got up and said goodbye.
"Lin Gongzi, take care! Please return to the Ice Palace as soon as possible. Bing Qing'er said goodbye.
"Definitely!"
Looking at Lin Yan's distant back, Bing Qing'er asked, "Elder Xuan, is his trip dangerous?" ”
Xuan Lao frowned slightly and said, "It's big!" If you don't do it carefully, your life may be lost. ”
"Then you still let him go so simply."
"Everyone has their own principles of life, and we can't impose interventions. He must have wanted to avenge this revenge with his own hands, otherwise if Zhuhuazi made a move, the Heaven and Earth Alliance would have ceased to exist a long time ago. ”
Thinking about it, it also depends on how much Mei Operator values Lin Yan, if Lin Yan has something to ask, they won't do it sooner. Bing Qing'er didn't speak again, walked to the table and sat down slowly, bowing her head and caressing the ice mirage.
Seeing that Bing Qing'er was a little lonely, Xuan Su smiled dotingly and said, "Qing'er, since he has become my successor, how can I watch him die halfway like this." Subsequently, I will follow him. ”
Hearing Xuan Lao say this, a trace of joy flashed in Bing Qing'er's eyes, and then disappeared, "You are too worried." ”
"You don't have to worry about it. If you don't settle them down, you won't be blamed to death by her when you go to see your mother-in-law in the future. Alright, that kid has come a long way, and it's time for me to go. Be careful yourself, and ask the mirage to keep an eye on the surrounding movements. Lin Yan can suddenly appear, and there are still people who can do it. There's nothing wrong with being careful. ”
"Yes, Xuan Lao. We'll keep the door open. You take care. Bing Qing'er got up and sent it off.
