Last night, Xia Xiao told Ah Candle about the detailed plan in his heart, which made the latter, who was sitting on the bed and eating snacks, subvert his original cognition again and again.

It's too crazy to go to the seal to find the Beginning Emperor, but Xia Xiao has a master behind him, and he is quite confident. Even if you can't persuade yourself, you won't lose your life. If the Beginning Emperor does not break through the seal at present, it must be that his strength has not fully recovered, but it is unrealistic to want to take this opportunity to kill him, because according to Xia Xiao's speculation, it should be difficult for the master to pass through the seal gap. In that kind of dangerous place, those who are too strong can't squeeze in, and those who are too weak will be crushed, only his strength is just right.

Therefore, Xia Xiao decided to go to the East China Sea and go with Ah Candle!

On this day, Xia Xiao stood in the backyard, facing east, calling out to Master. This is a very mysterious way of communication, like a weak force that spreads thousands of miles in the air in an instant, but Xia Xiao never got a reply, so he cast a communication talisman array, and the result was the same. The current Qing Xunzi was busy in the East China Sea and didn't have time to receive every message coming towards him, so Xia Xiao thought of Uncle Liao.

As the steward of the first church, Liao Sai is no different from the vice-pope, and he must have a way to contact Qing Xunzi. Sure enough, when Xia Xiao and Ah Candle walked into the palace and found him, a fluctuation of vitality quickly swept in the east, and the speed could be described as chasing the stars and catching the moon, which made Liao Sai take a look and smile:

"I'm going to get busy first, something calls me."

"Thank you, Uncle Liao."

"You're welcome."

Liao Sai could probably guess how happy the Pope was, in front of Xia Xiao, how could he not be as serious as last time. It is a blessing for every master to have such an apprentice. If he had, he would be happy to think about it day and night. But an apprentice like Xia Xiao is really rare, not to mention that there is no one in ten thousand, and it is difficult to produce a second person in the whole world.

After seeing Uncle Liao leave, Xia Xiao took Ah Zhu and walked to a small courtyard next to the side hall, waiting for the master to arrive. But for half an hour, Xia Xiao and Ah Candle immediately saluted, the honorable Pope was not as serious as the last time they met, and after the appearance of the torn space, he didn't say a word, and opened his mouth to scold:

"Stinky boy, I really don't let me worry! How dare you come up with that kind of plan? Do you know that everyone in the world is crazy now, and they can't wait for a so-called savior to sacrifice himself to save the wilderness. And you're good, sharpen your head and rush forward. The anger of the first emperor for 30,000 years, how can you extinguish it in just a few words? ”

"Master, don't be angry, you have agreed, I'll try it, and it will be fine. And I'm not asking him to let go of his hatred, I really don't have that ability, I just let him transfer his hatred, go to Yu Shangyan if he has something, don't look for us to be angry, we can't afford it. ”

As soon as he thought of the historical past of Master and Yu Shangyan, Xia Xiao vaguely felt that he was a little disrespectful. In that language, he was afraid that he would have to call Shi Niang, which was a more appropriate title than the Emperor of Men and the Ancestor of the Spirit Contract. But Qing Xunzi didn't seem to care much, but just suppressed the past emotions in his heart, and hummed curiously at this time:

"I agree not because you're off to a good start? Since then, many people in the world don't care about your life or death, they just want you to succeed, but the chances of success are too small. If there is the slightest mistake, you just wait for this little girl to cry for you, and then you will regret it too late! ”

"Senior, I'm going too."

Ah Candle's serious appearance made the white-bearded old man blow his beard, but she was still steadfast, so that his somewhat aging face was no longer as ruddy as before, and it seemed to be a child.

"My aunt and grandmother, don't embarrass the old man, how can the old man have such a powerful ability to send the three of you in together. Do you really think that seal is good at tearing the rip? Even if there is a natural rift, you need to be protected by a strong vitality to enter, strong and weak, and the sea is already limited in movement, so don't add to the chaos! ”

Ah Candle's little face is horizontal, she doesn't care, she wants to go! Xia Xiao agreed. The latter sat on the stone chair and did not take what the master said to heart, because he believed that the master had that ability, so he changed the topic and focused on another point.

"Three? The tank also goes? ”

Ah Candle mentioned yesterday that the sea beasts of the academy have returned to the East China Sea, presumably to prepare for this matter. Qing Xunzi nodded and sighed:

"I asked him to gather all the souls of the Sea Beasts together, and then he took them with him and walked with you. It is estimated that the Beginning Emperor will be moved when he sees this fluctuation, and then it will be the time for you to have a war of words. ”

"How prepared are they?"

"It is estimated that it is almost good, because they are all very positive, as a primitive race in the sea, many sea beasts are difficult to get ashore, so they must avoid the chaos of the starting emperor, they must cooperate and exert all their strength, otherwise it is not the humans who will be injured first, but them."

That's fine, Xia Xiao slapped his thigh and decided:

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and I will pack up my things with Ah Candle and go to the East China Sea this afternoon."

"You can come, but Ah Candle can't."

When Ah Candle heard this, she was immediately anxious, and Xia Xiao helped her with a hippie smile:

"Master, she can help me hide my breath, just agree, even if there is an accident, as soon as the breath of me and the water tank disappears, the Beginning Emperor will not be able to find us."

"You treat the First Emperor as a three-year-old child? His existence is the longest, his power is unknown, and the more people who go, the more dangerous it is. And what is there to do with it? ”

After Qing Xunzi couldn't understand when Xia Xiao was thinking, he leaned into Ah Candle's ear and said softly:

"You go back and pack your things first, and I'll take care of Master."

Immediately, Ah Candle in Qing Xunzi's eyes got up suddenly, and after a salute, he hurriedly ran out of the courtyard, and walked out of the palace excitedly. Ah Candle has always been easy to deceive, Xia Xiao saw her departing figure, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said to Qing Xunzi with a smile:

"Master, just say yes! It's okay to take her in, and don't go in. At that time, you just have to say that you really can't go to the three of you, because for the sake of safety, I'll go with the water tank, and I will go back and tell her that it can only be decided according to the situation, not rashly. But if we can go to the East China Sea together, presumably Ah Candle won't say much, she is still very obedient and will not be unreasonable. ”

"Why bother?"

Xia Xiao smiled, his face full of pampering.

"Ah Candle can follow if she wants, I happen to be inseparable from her, but I can't let her take risks with me."

"Oh well! I promise you as a teacher. ”

"Thank you, Master."

"After King Sam absorbed it, how much strength did he improve?"

"There are eighteen annual rings of the curved wheel."

Compared with seven days ago, Xia Xiao has raised the annual rings by three more times, this speed is extremely fast, but Xia Xiao has to consolidate it in the next period of time, otherwise the trees that grow too fast will be as difficult to mature as the seedlings that have been pulled.

"Yes, then you go back to consolidate your strength, I'll withdraw first."

"Master, wait a minute!"

Xia Xiao specially opened Ah Candle, not to tell the master his intentions, otherwise he could achieve his goal through the silent world. But there are things that can only be asked to the master when Ah Candle is not present. Stupid men tell women everything, and some things are better to avoid.

"Master, you said something at the meeting that made me a little confused."

Qing Xunzi motioned to Xia Xiao and said, in fact, he understood it very well in his heart, but he was a little reluctant to answer.

"You said that you have only had two apprentices in the past 30,000 years, one is me, and the other died to let me go on the right path."

"One you, one Shushuang, there's nothing wrong with it!"

Qing Xunzi had a smile on his face, but Xia Xiao had a serious face. He looked at the former, his eyes full of doubt.

"I know it's Shu Shuang, but what does it mean to die in order to get me on the right path?"

Qing Xunzi should have thought that with Xia Xiao's careful temperament, he would definitely ask all the things that happened at the meeting. But he didn't want Xia Xiao to go at the time, so he was rarely anxious, so he said such things. But I didn't expect that after the truth was revealed, I was questioned again, which was really troublesome.

There's no way, Qing Xunzi doesn't like to hide it, and since he was discovered, he had to answer truthfully:

"In the beginning, the purpose of Shushuang's existence was to bring you into the right path and protect you, which is the responsibility of the elder caregiver. But because I had a personal affection for her and treated her like a daughter, so many things happened. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Aren't you curious? Why is Shushuang so similar to ordinary humans? Can't even see the difference? ”

"Isn't this the reason why she has spiritual wisdom because she absorbs the aura of heaven and earth?"

Qing Xunzi shook his head and said:

"Of course not, if I just want her to do the job, I don't have to make her so human. At that time, I didn't have any further plans, I just wanted her to protect you. But I treated her as a daughter, taught her to read and write, and participated in enlightenment and practice. In this way, her intellect became no different from that of a human being, and she had real feelings. It was only when there was a smile in her bright, cloudy eyes that I thought about it. ”

"You deliberately let Shu Shuang get close to me, and then let her die at the hands of the Demon Dao?"

Xia Xiao's heart trembled, and the question he asked was a little bold, Qing Xunzi didn't nod under such a question, but just asked again:

"Do you know that Shangshan and Shu Shuang are both the forces in the rune array, why is one strong and the other weak?"

"Didn't you say that the power of guardianship is better to leave the rune array, and the good part is more violent, so it is difficult to have spiritual wisdom and cannot turn into a human form?"

"That's only part of the story."

Looking at the most familiar master, Xia Xiao felt strange again, and he asked almost pleadingly:

"Master, how much are you still hiding from me? You answer me, did you know about Shu Shuang's death from the beginning? Did you do it on purpose? ”

Xia Xiao hoped that the master would not admit it, it would be okay for him to shake his head or be stubbornly silent, as long as he didn't nod. But when the master and apprentice looked at each other, Qing Xunzi's eyes still showed some unbearability, and then he bowed his head.

Boom –

Xia Xiao fell to the bottom of the cold and biting lake, extremely lost, he looked at the master, for some reason, he should step forward now and grab his clothes and let him pay for his life? Or is it just the end of the conversation? Xia Xiao can't do it, it's hard to repay Master's kindness in this life, even Shu Shuang was brought to him by him, but why?

"Why?"

Xia Xiao's eyes were full of urgency, he wanted to know the answer! Shu Shuang has been gone for three years, but he doesn't know the truth, how can he be worthy of her sacrificing his life to protect himself? Qing Xunzi was silently sad, and he was helpless.
