Walking along the dimly lit corridor all the way in, picking up the stairs straight up to six floors, since entering this ancient castle, I haven't seen anyone other than the plain-robed girl, not even cats and dogs, which makes Xiao Cong more and more vigilant, and can't help but slightly distance himself from the plain-robed woman in front of him.

Walk to the top floor, push open two gold and diamond doors, the eyes suddenly opened, the jewels for a time people can't open their eyes, the first thing that catches the eye is a dazzling, all kinds of gems, all kinds of precious metals cast gods, followed by a bead curtain made of round pearls, from the door of the side of the half-hanging mountain to go, and then the dome on the dome and the red carpet on the ground symmetrical dome mural, the lines are clear, but I don't understand what it means, but faintly feel that there is a kind of morality from the painting diffuse, and finally the heavy bead curtain is faintly visible sitting on the gilt high platform bone chair wearing a flawless crown, wearing a brocade yellow robe, Xiao Cong couldn't see his face clearly, but he felt that there were two clear sweeps on him, and he knew that while he was looking at the person who was called the empress by the King of Hades, the other party was also looking at him.

A woman, in the depths of this cold and desolate plain, set herself up as a king, it is a little ridiculous, Xiao Cong didn't care about her self-righteousness, dragged Hongxiang's hand, and walked straight forward along the gap between the two rows of bead curtains. Walking to the gilded high platform, looking at each other, Xiao Cong was neither humble nor arrogant, looking at the graceful and luxurious and extraordinary beautiful and handsome face, she was condescending, like an ice sculpture wrapped in a brocade robe.

After a long silence, the cold and cold people on the gilded platform took the lead in opening the conversation,

"You're finally here. ”

The voice is slightly cold, and it really doesn't sound good.

Xiao Cong raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face was expected to be surprised,

"Why did the seniors say this?"

The clear and cold people on the gilded platform answered the question,

"You seem to have come a little early. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Cong was even more surprised, as if he had to come here for a trip.

The cold and cold person on the gilded platform slowly got up, walked down the steps, walked to Xiao Cong, tilted his head slightly and looked at the latter's face for a moment, and said for a while:

"This is the cause, he is also the effect, you go. ”

With that, turn around. Xiao Cong raised his other hand and shook his head, and for a moment the second monk was confused, and muttered:

"That's it?"

Just as she was thinking, the plain-robed girl walked closer, smiled and stretched out a slender hand to make a gesture of please,

"Childe, please. ”

Xiao Cong raised his head and glanced deeply at the lonely and cold back again, held Hongxiang's hand and clenched it a little tighter, and turned his head away.

Xiao Cong walked out of the luxurious hall, the gilt and diamond-inlaid door slowly closed, under the stacked bead curtain, next to the statue of the god poured with fairy gold, slowly manifested a slender and graceful figure wrapped in black gauze up and down, under the cover of the hat and black gauze, I don't know what kind of face it is, just look at the endless mature charm that spreads out of the convex and backward plump waist of the slender waist, I think it should not be a young girl.

The clear person in the brocade robe turned around, her eyes were no longer as sharp as Fang Cai, revealing a rare warmth, she faced the black veil, and said softly:

"Is it really him?"

The hat shook slightly, and the woman wrapped in the black veil nodded slightly,

"Indeed, he is. ”

The voice is not pleasant, with a slight vicissitudes.

The clear man in the brocade robe sighed softly,

"He's still here. ”

A light laugh came from behind the veil,

"Come on, come on, I'm going to find this place sooner or later. ”

In a long silence, the plain-robed girl who had gone and returned pushed the door in, walked two steps away from the black gauze woman, and said politely:

"I've seen the Ancestor. ”

Behind the veil was another light laugh, but there were no words, and the slender and graceful shadow slowly blurred, and within a moment, it disappeared out of thin air.

The clear man in the brocade robe turned his face to the plain robe girl, and his voice was cold,

"You look so happy. “

The plain-robed girl was still in the same vein, without the slightest awe, tilted her little face slightly, pursed her lips and smiled:

"You can see that?"

The clear man in the brocade robe showed an unprecedented smile on his face, and said with some pampering in his tone:

"Still thinking about him?"

The plain-robed girl's face finally showed a little shyness, but the corners of her eyebrows were a little incompatible with her age, she slowly lowered her head and replied softly:

"Uh-huh. ”

The clear man in the brocade robe stretched out a hand and gently stroked the long waterfall hair of the plain robed girl, and the tone was even more doting,

"It won't be long before you can see him again, what the ancestor said will not be wrong. ”

The plain-robed girl nodded lightly and replied in an inaudible voice:

"Uh-huh. ”

......

On the way back, Xiao Cong was still thinking about the question of picking up the star realm, in fact, he had been trying to figure out the ancient castle before, but he couldn't find a clue after racking his brains, this incident appeared too abruptly, making him feel caught off guard, since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it anymore, the queen said that he came a little early, maybe this is really not what he should face now.

But the matter of picking up the stars is real, of course, he no longer thinks about everything from the heavenly realm to the picking star realm, he is just thinking, practicing the eleven realms, people, earth, sky, picking stars, crossing rivers, catching the moon, leaving the sun, passing the sky, Qi Tian, destroying the sky, subduing demons, picking stars is only ranked fourth, but entering the star picking means that he has gained half of his immortality, it stands to reason that there should be a lot of high-energy people above the star picking realm, but where have these guys gone? Thinking about the few places he has been to so far, there are more masters in the near Yang Desert, and the Fire Saint Palace even uses two Star Picking Realm powerhouses as bait to catch the big fish of the Divine Jealous Sword, this is a big deal, and then think about the four mansions that were destroyed in the Holy City in the first battle before, there is not even a strong person in the Star Picking Realm! It is only a step away from the force, it is simply a heaven and an underground, this strength gap is also a little too big, he suddenly understands a little bit why in the dispute between the Xuanzhen Royal and the Dugu family, there are only seven sects

The forces of the Eight Courts and Nine Mansions were involved, and when they were self-righteous and asked Xingliuyun to send people to win over the Fire Saint Palace, they didn't know if it was a bad idea.

Thinking of the thirteen Heavenly Realm masters who were abolished by him in the rudder of the Heaven Destroying Sect and the Luoxian Mansion before, obediently, this is really a great beam, it seems that now he and the Dugu family are also on the same footing.

As for whether there are masters above the Star Realm in the Luoxian Mansion, he can't be sure now, but this matter can be asked about Xingliuyun, with the strength of the Xing family's fine son, it is impossible not to know this little thing, thinking about it on the other hand, I really feel that I am a little bit of a dapree will repay the small belly chicken intestines, as soon as I think of things related to various forces, I can't help but lead to the Luoxian Mansion, the damage to Hongxiang from the few miscellaneous pieces of the Luoxian Mansion is indeed what makes him mind until now, he said, one day he will destroy the Luoxian Mansion and the Zhuge family, this is not a joke, the Zhuge family is a behemoth, and now he does regret not moving, but the Luoxian Mansion is different, Although it is true that there are a few catties and two, as long as there are no more than a few masters in the Mansion Star Picking Realm, with his strength to fight to the death to resist the early stage of crossing the River Realm, let the Luoxian Mansion be removed from Xuanzhen overnight, this is definitely not an empty word!

He suddenly felt that he had lived in this small space for too long, so that he had a lot of wrong perceptions of this world, before Master Tiandao Weng always said that he was a nerd, although he admitted it, but his understanding was not as deep as it is now, how to say, before his understanding of the nerd was limited to that he was indeed a book-loving person, and now his understanding of the nerd is to spread his dullness on the road to the world to all aspects of life, this world is not as simple and direct as the spells recorded in the book, compared with those obscure words, this world is actually much more complicated, because even if the book contains it is difficult to understand, but can always find a relatively reluctantly applicable law, using this rule, he can conquer it with a crisp or even blunt attitude, but this world has no rules at all, everything, need to be experienced, he feels that it is time to go out and feel - human affairs, the world is cold, those real feelings.

The road was calm, as if it had been arranged by someone, out of the plain, Xiao Cong glanced back, as if he could see the towering black semicircular fort through the heavy rocks, all kinds of things in the ancient castle had already been left behind by him, this seemed to be a kind of involuntary feeling, it felt like when he met the old antique at the bottom of the Fengmian Valley, the silk threads formed by all kinds of cause and effect pulled him, making it difficult for him to move an inch, as if he could wrap it tightly around it for a while, so that he couldn't move, he suddenly smiled bitterly, thinking that it was a blessing or a curse or a curse that he couldn't avoid, so he felt better in his heart。

With Xiao Cong's habits, although he also laid a few teleportation arrays along the way, but after leaving Rin Yuan, the two of them did not use the teleportation array, but walked unhurriedly, without direction or purpose, this may be just like Xiao Cong's mental state at this time, he was thinking, what is the monk's cultivation for

Why, or rather, in the process of cultivation, how can he feel happy? Revenge, righteousness, becoming stronger and stronger? No, no, no, these are still some too distant existences for him now, and these are not the purpose of cultivation after all, let alone the purpose of life, he suddenly felt that something seemed to be missing something in his life, and it was precisely because of the lack of this thing that his life became more and more boring.

He couldn't help but think of Xingliuyun, Ouyang Xun, Yuwen Fengdu, and Leng Xiaofeng, it seemed that the time in the Holy City was the happiest son he had ever spent in his life, yes, the happiest son, happier than when he was in Tiandaoxuan and the Xiao family!

But why is that?

As he walked, he experienced the wonderful feeling in his heart, the ease, the fearlessness, and the fulfillment and truthfulness, compared to this, the past two years of tossing and turning in the Falling Mountains, the Desert and the Rin-Rim Plains have simply become a dream, making him feel more and more unreal.

"Why is that? It's all really happening. ”

He continued to dig deeper, digging hard in his memory, searching hard in his feelings, and in a trance, he felt that he hated these dreams very much, but he never wanted to admit it, and the idea felt a little ridiculous even to himself, but it was true, because these dreams, which were seriously inconsistent with his age and mind, imposed too much burden on him, and made him feel overwhelmed and staggered, which was too tiring, and the saddest thing was that these dreams made him feel that he had been living for others, and he had to accept it, or accept it willingly, as if he was born with something to owe the world。

Heh, the only personal disciple of Tiandao Weng, the only remaining Xiao family member of the Xiao family of the Xuanzhen Wedge, is still the only Xiao family member who has been able to cultivate for thousands of years, just because of these, does he have to live so tired? weighing, bingsheng, putting the common people in the world first, but fucking he is a teenager who is less than seventeen years old, why should he impose such a heavy life on his incomplete body, doesn't he need it, he doesn't need that little innocence that is exclusive to others and is insignificant to a teenager? Is this really fucking unfair!

Inexplicably felt a burst of sadness, and suddenly felt that his seventeen years had been in vain, who could understand how he envied the flying and lawless starstream, to be precise, he also wanted a little real freedom, even if it was only a trace of psychology. But is it really hard?

He pondered, carefully feeling the special thing on the Xingliuyun, what was it? How could he be so attracted to him, and finally after thinking for a long time, he realized that it was a kind of resistance to the arrangement of fate, a rare courage, and the most precious thing that he had when he was born in a wealthy family, he didn't have it, Yuwenfeng didn't have it, Ouyang Xun didn't have it, Leng Xiaofeng didn't have it, only Xingliuyun did!

His heart suddenly brightened, and he felt a kind of relief that he had never felt before, and perhaps, he could also be like an ordinary person

People live like that, throw away those involuntary or innate special parts, he is an ordinary person, but why can't he live like an ordinary person, for him now, as long as he bravely makes a choice, and then take a step forward, but how difficult this choice is, no one can understand, just like no one will care or see the tears that are rolling in his eyes, it turns out that sometimes, not only when the burden is on the back of the burden, it is more painful when the burden is unloaded.

He felt a little out of breath, and he needed to find something to convince himself so that he could feel better.

"What should come will come, I can't avoid it, maybe the general trend of fate makes me can't help myself, but can I control the room for those subtleties? As I do now...... If this is really a given, why should I follow it, is it because of my subconscious fear that it should be disrupted? yes, it's a whole process, I need it, I need it!"

He suddenly stopped, his eyes suddenly had a different kind of divine light, his face was no longer depressed, he raised his head slightly, exhaled a long breath, and muttered in a slightly low and hoarse voice:

"Isn't life a simple thing?"

Hongxiang, who had been silent on the side, then stopped, looked up at Xiao Cong, who looked abnormal, and there was some inexplicable feeling in his eyes, like unbearable, but also like pity, of course, these are what Xiao Cong, who was immersed in a state of sudden enlightenment, did not perceive, his eyes became more and more bright, and he looked at it for a while, sighed inaudibly, and then lowered his head slowly.

Like what you like, hate what you hate, spare no effort to do what you should do at this stage, yes, life is so simple!
