Nangong Qiu didn't hold his breath in the fright, and suddenly felt that water gushed into his mouth, nose, and ears from all directions, thinking that this is over, he has never learned to swim since he was a child, and this time he is nervous and fluttering.

Nangong Qiu wanted to shout, but a saliva poured in, and he wanted to struggle, but he fell deeper and deeper, brother, Nangong Qiu kept shouting Nangong Shuo in his heart, until his consciousness gradually blurred.

I don't know if it's a remote location, or the apprentices are busy tidying up their new residences, but no one has found Nangong Qiu who fell into the water for a long time, Nangong Qiu suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, and a strange feeling came, so he fainted.

I don't know how long it took, Nangong Qiu woke up with a few dry coughs, but found himself lying in a dark room, with a faint moonlight coming in through the window.

Nangong Qiu sat up, looked at the room in the moonlight, and found that it was not his own house, even more dilapidated than the thatched house at home, the whole room was a bed, a table, and a dilapidated teapot, and this bed was also very shabby.

As if hearing movement in the inner room, a thin figure pushed the door in, walked to the table and lit a small candle, "Boy, are you awake?"

Nangong Qiu looked at the figure and was suddenly shocked, this person was actually the old man who disappeared out of thin air in the market in the morning. "Grandpa, did you save me?"

"It is said that the big husband is shrouded in horse leather, but you stupid boy almost drowned in the water!"

"Thank you old man for saving your life!" Nangong Qiu grinned in embarrassment.

The old man glanced at Nangong Qiu helplessly, and trembled and lit the only kerosene lamp on the table, "Silly boy, are you hungry? ”

"No need, old man, why are you embarrassed to trouble you?" Nangong Qiu scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Eh, you don't have to be polite to grandpa, just stay there!

"How come? hehe..." Nangong Qiu watched the old man walk out helplessly, and sat back on the bed, and the bed immediately squeaked, as if it was about to collapse.

"This bed is broken enough. ”

Nangong Qiu poked his head down to look at the foot of the bed, "Alas, look at this wooden wedge, it has all fallen to the ground, no wonder the bed keeps shaking." ”

Nangong Qiu turned over, wanting to pick up the wooden wedge and nail it back, and as soon as he bent down, a book under the bed came into view.

"Sealed heaven?"

Nangong Qiu picked up "Fengtian" under the bed, and gently wiped off the dust of the writing, this book is dozens of pages thin, but the title of the book is powerful and domineering, which really arouses Nangong Qiu's curiosity.

I saw Nangong Qiu stretching out his hand to turn the first page.

"No!"

A loud shout came, which frightened Nangong's enemies and almost threw the book to the ground.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to see it. ”

The old man put a large bowl of egg custard in his hand on the table, "You kid! The techniques in this book are not something you can learn at your age, you don't have much spiritual energy in your body, and your foundation is not stable, if you study rashly, you will not be killed!"

"Huh, so terrifying?" Nangong Qiu carefully placed the book on the table, "Then I can't read it?"

The old man pushed the egg custard in front of Nangong Qiu, "It's okay, eat it quickly." ”

"Thank you, old man!"

Looking at Nangong Qiu, who was gobbling up, the old man thought thoughtfully, "By the way, what's your name?"

"Hmm..."Nangong Qiu swallowed the egg in his mouth, "My name is Nangong Qiu, what do you call the old man?"

"You called me... Grandpa He will do it. ”

"Grandpa He!"

"Actually... You should learn the techniques in that book, and you should not fail to do so. ”

Nangong Qiu's eyes widened like copper bells, and he couldn't even take care of eating in his mouth, "Really?"

"Yes, but... I have three conditions. ”

"What conditions?"

"First, you can come to me to learn this book only after you pass the junior mage assessment; second, you should protect yourself and don't show off in front of others; third, I will teach you the technique, but you are not allowed to call me Master. Can you do it?"

"Why can't I call you Master?"

"You'll find out later. After eating, rest early, and I'll send you back to Thunder City Academy early tomorrow morning. ”

"Thank you, Grandpa He!"

Not long after, looking at the sleeping Nangong Qiu, Old Man He tentatively touched Nangong Qiu's hand, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

And so it was. ”

......

Thunder City College, three watches.

Nangong Qiu shuddered for a while, opened his eyes and found that he was lying by the lake, I don't know if Old Man He sent him back unknowingly, or if he had a real dream.

"Why am I back here again, it's pitch black, didn't Grandpa He say that he would be early tomorrow morning? Number eight. ”

Nangong Qiu tiptoed back to the courtyard, but he didn't know which house he was in, the courtyard had a total of four houses, two by two were relatively similar to the courtyard, Nangong Qiu gently pushed the three doors, and found that they were all bolted, so he walked to the fourth door, and was about to stretch out his hand, but the door creaked open.

I saw a short-haired girl hurriedly open the door, "Yu Yan?" After that, she looked at Nangong Qiu who was standing dumbly outside the door, "Why are you, what do you want to do?"

"I..."Nangong Qiu was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say, "You just called Yu Yan, could it be that she wasn't with you?"

The short-haired girl slapped her forehead, "Yes, she said in the evening that she was in a bad mood and wanted to go for a walk, so she walked to the back mountain, but now, it's been three watches, but she hasn't come back yet." ”

"Then why don't you go to her!"

"It was so dark that we didn't dare to go, so we couldn't sleep. The short-haired girl choked up more and more she spoke, and she almost cried.

"Don't cry, in this case, you go to the management mage, and I'll go to her first. ”

The short-haired girl looked at Nangong Qiu who was rushing out, stayed for a few seconds, then turned around and woke up a friend and went to the lobby of the South District.

Nangong Qiu ran towards the back mountain like a gust of wind, his pace kept accelerating, "Yu Yan, you don't have anything to do." ”

The back mountain is not big, it is a small hill, there are many trees on the mountain, there is a small road at the foot of the mountain, the path leads to the eastern suburbs of Leicheng, the eastern suburbs are mountainous and watery, and it is occupied by Leicheng College, sparsely populated.

Nangong Qiu didn't see Qin Yuyan's figure all the way, and couldn't help but feel anxious, seeing that the mountains behind this were gloomy and the trees were flourishing, Qin Yuyan shouldn't dare to enter, so he continued to run towards the path.

The moonlight was like silver, sprinkled on Nangong Qiu's body, but Nangong Qiu did not have this leisure, but began to silently run the technique of shadow step, "Shadow step, shadow step, it's up to you." ”

However, the aura in Nangong Qiu's body was not controlled at all at this time, but there was a burst of dizziness, and he had no choice but to stop running.

At this time, a cloud slowly floated over until it covered the entire moon, and at the same time, the silver light on Nangong Qiu's body also faded little by little, while on the contrary, Nangong Qiu's eyes lit up little by little, flashing with a shuddering red light.

At this time, Nangong Qiu felt that a cold aura was slowly coming out, flowing through the internal organs in his body, and even Nangong Qiu's thoughts became cold.

Nangong Qiu's mind was blank at this time, and he only knew that he would activate the technique of shadow step, gather the spiritual power under his feet, and burst out like a sword off the string, running out a mile away in an instant.

Nangong Qiu felt the wind whining in his ears, but there was no way to stop it. Suddenly, a puff of black smoke separated from Nangong Qiu's back, and immediately followed behind Nangong Qiu.

Nangong Qiu reacted, and his heart was overjoyed, "Is this a success? My shadow step, success!" No words can express Nangong Qiu's excited mood at the moment, the wind is whistling in his ears, and the ground under his feet seems to have a gap with Nangong Qiu, there are no more footprints, the shadow is a mirror, and there is no trace!

The yin qi in Nangong Qiu's body seemed to be stronger again, and at this time, he felt a steady stream of spiritual power gushing out of his body, and his body was running like a rocket, and at the same time, Nangong Qiu felt that the realm of Shadow Step seemed to be constantly improving, and the humanoid black qi in the rear was getting closer and closer to Nangong Qiu's appearance.

Nangong Qiu rushed happily, and unconsciously came to a small river, the moonlight shone on the surface of the river, reflecting the sparkling waves, the river flowed slowly, as if it was moving, it seemed to be quiet, there were sparse insect chirpings around, lined with stars in the sky.

"What a beautiful scenery..."Nangong Qiu sighed sincerely, and suddenly felt that his mood had calmed down, and the cold feeling in his body had gradually faded, and his spiritual power seemed to be richer, "But... Yu Yan, she..."

"Oh!

A cry for help broke the silence of the night, Nangong Qiu was startled, stepped on his feet, and looked in the direction of the source of the sound.

The eastern suburbs of Leicheng, on the banks of the Xiaoyue River.

Two tall men surrounded a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, "The chick looks quite smart, didn't your mother tell you that you can't go out late at night?" hahaha..."

"You're going to run into hooligans when you're wandering around late at night, do you want my uncle to take you back?" said another man.

"Uncle... Uncle, I'm lost, you... Can you really take me back?" the little girl shivered a little as she looked at the two tall men.

"Of course, Uncle will take you to a good place, come with us. ”

"Boss, is it just like that, it's a pity, look at how smart she looks, or we—" said one of the men to the other.

"This girl is still so tender, it's not good. We are principled scoundrels. ”

"This ...... Okay, don't be afraid of his Qin family, let's not do it, we won't stop!" said the second child with a lewd smile, "Little sister, let's go." "

"But, it's a shame..."

"Come with us, little girl. The male hooligan said that he wanted to take the little girl's hand, but he didn't expect the little girl to break free.

"Uncle, I'm so scared, my family is the Qin family in the city, can you go to them. ”

"The Qin family... It seems to be quite rich, second child, we don't do it, we don't stop kidnapping this girl. Go to Qin's house to get some money to spend, but remember, don't touch her. ”

As if she knew something, the little girl cried and struggled, "Ahhh

"If you don't, you have to ask for it!" the rascal was a little angry.

"Stop!"
