Chapter 21: The Mystery Man

"Speaking of the apprenticeship ceremony of the Nine Heavens Daojun, it is called a huge and powerful person, with a radius of 100 miles, but everyone who can be ranked up to the ceremony will come to the ceremony, just to see the disciple. As soon as that disciple appeared, everyone was shocked, this disciple turned out to be a fairy body that came out once in ten thousand years..."

On the first floor of the inn, diners come and go, and people sitting in the hall eat the delicacies on their plates, listen to the storyteller's witty words, and sip a little wine from time to time.

At this time, it was the acceptance ceremony of the Nine Heavens Dao Monarch of the Heavenly Palace seven days ago, and many people had not witnessed the grand occasion at that time, but they could also glimpse the scene from the storyteller's mouth.

As soon as the word "fairy body" came out, everyone present was shocked and sighed.

"It turned out to be the spirit body of this legend, and it is really not easy for someone to become a disciple of the Nine Heavens Dao Monarch."

"Yes, the last disciple was the lord of the island, and he was famous, and the next one was also an unusual character..."

"I heard that this person was just an ordinary disciple of the outer gate of the Heavenly Palace before he apprenticed, and he went to the Heavenly Ladder to be valued by the Nine Heavens Daojun, and he was found to be an immortal body. I see that this man has the qualifications and patience, and he will surely do great things in the future. ”

There was another burst of approval.

In the corner, the man in the black cloak lowered the wine glass in her hand when she heard this, and her white fingers fell on the ordinary ceramic cup, looking a little out of place.

"Faerie body..."

She chuckled, unable to tell if it was mockery or something else.

It is rumored that there are immortals who have fallen and reincarnated, and their natural cultivation is smooth, and the immortal body can be cultivated for more than a month to catch up with others to cultivate for several years, and they have their own understanding in cultivation, so they can understand the mystery of the world's ten thousand laws, and it can be said that they have decided to become immortals from birth.

But the fairy body is extremely rare, there are many in a thousand years, and one in 10,000 years is the norm.

People spread the word of mouth, and they offered that person to the altar, too, such a talent, and worshiped a terrible master, to this point is already regarded as the top existence in the cultivation world, but if you don't die halfway, as long as you work hard for half a point, you can easily become an immortal.

Become an immortal.

Those who become immortals have to go through the thunder tribulation, and then the gate of heaven opens and walks up the steps to the sky, which is the real steps to the heavens, the road to the immortal world.

Faerie body.

She lowered her eyes, but the smile on her lips was full of bitterness.

What others say is so magical, but how can she not know, what kind of fairy body is that person, they have grown up together since childhood, and their talent is indeed better than that of ordinary people, but it is far less than the legendary fairy body.

Night...

"Chaohuan."

The person sitting across from her screamed, and she raised her head, and a pair of cold eyes, which blinked, and said, "Be careful of scratching your hands." ”

Only then did Chao Huan notice that the cup he unconsciously pinched in his hand, the ordinary porcelain cup, was about to break if he used more force.

"Well, I see, thank you for reminding me." Chao Huan let go of his hand and put it at his side, the person opposite was not talking, and he didn't eat or drink when he sat there, like a puppet.

In fact, there is nothing to say thank you, because it was the day and sky that gave the order not to let Chao Huan get hurt, and everything he did was the result of being manipulated against his will.

The storyteller has already begun to tell another story, which is the story of a pair of infatuated men and women who finally overcome many difficulties together, although the ending is very good, but the process is too bitter, some people are not happy to listen, and give the money to change it.

The storyteller was naturally happy, accepted the money, cleared his throat and began to tell the story of how a sword cultivator fought against the demons, and the story was loved by everyone, and the hall became lively again.

Chao Huan had no intention of listening, she stood up and said, "Let's go." ”

Even Yunlan stood up and walked out of the inn behind her, and the two walked to the door, but Chao Huan bumped into someone.

She raised her head, but saw a pair of cold eyes full of wind and snow, which was not Lian Yunlan's emotionlessness, but even colder, as if all feelings were frozen under the ice and snow.

The man looked at her and asked, "Are you Weisheng Chaohuan?" ”

Chao Huan didn't make a sound, she looked at the person's eyes, as if she was frozen and couldn't speak, she realized that the person in front of her was extremely dangerous, but the momentum around the other party made her unable to move.

Lian Yunlan behind him sensed the danger, he stepped forward with his sword, and before he could get close to the other party, he was knocked out by the man with a wave of his sleeve.

Lian Yunlan rolled out dozens of meters away, and finally hit a stone wall, the stone wall collapsed, and the stone bricks buried Lian Yunlan completely.

"Lian Yunlan!" Chao Huan exclaimed, she subconsciously turned around and wanted to run over, but the man grabbed her wrist very quickly, and Chao Huan couldn't struggle no matter what.

She was worried and scared in her heart, who was the person who suddenly appeared in front of her?! She realized that the other party's strength was very strong, and she couldn't easily escape with her own cultivation and means no matter what.

But she still forced herself to calm down, at least to find out what the other party was and what she wanted.

"Who are you?" Chao Huan suppressed the panic in his heart and tried his best to calm down, "What do you want to do?" ”

The man's gaze fell on Chao Huan, it was a very cold look, as if nothing could enter the eyes, and it could also be said that there was no one in his eyes.

It's not that kind of arrogant look, but it has the meaning of compassion for heaven and man, but the last time Chao Huan saw this kind of look, it was in a person who ruined everything.

That is God's sight, but God never has mercy on ordinary people, who are high up and empty-eyed.

Chao Huanse shrank for a moment, resisting his desire to withdraw his hand.

The man also seemed to notice Chao Huan's discomfort, and he said lightly: "Do you know the end of the day?" ”

The day is empty.

Hearing this name from the other party's mouth, Chao Huan was stunned, she immediately reacted that the other party was coming for the end of the day, maybe it was the enemy of the end of the day, I don't know where I got the news of her, and wanted to start from her.

But the other party's subsequent words dispelled her guess.

"I'm going to take you away, you don't have to think about contacting the end of the day, he can't help you."

This time, Chao Huan understood, not for the end of the day, but for her.

But... Why?

In the face of Chao Huan's doubts, the man didn't try to explain, he grabbed Chao Huan's hand and was about to leave, Chao Huan couldn't struggle from his hands, but the people who came and went to the inn passed by them as if they didn't see anything, and entered the inn without squinting.

"No, I..." Chao Huan resisted, but the difference in strength was too great, in order to prevent her from escaping, the other party even imprisoned her spiritual power, she could only watch as the spiritual power in her body disappeared and became an ordinary person.

With a "snap", Lian Yunlan, who was buried by the stone wall, stretched out a bloody hand, he stood up violently, most of the black robe on his body had been damaged, even the sword cultivator who had exercised his body had been seriously injured under the blow just now, and it was not easy to stand up.

"Lian Yunlan..."

Lian Yunlan gasped, and the mysterious man was also a little surprised by the other party's amazing perseverance, but for him, it was nothing more than that.

"Also..."

"Give it back to me."

Lian Yunlan pulled out his long sword, and the spiritual power gathered in the sword, emitting a dazzling light.

"Give her back!"

At night, the moon is like a pearl.

In the woods, by the campfire, Chao Huan sat on a stone, the fire shone on her shadow, the girl's slender figure looked particularly fragile in the firelight, she obviously cried, her eyes were red and swollen.

The mysterious man on the side meditated with his eyes closed, and there was no sound in the silence of the huge woods, only the crackling sound of firewood burning.

After some time, another voice sounded, a heavy pant, as if it had burned all life to the ground, and each sound was mixed with great pain.

Chao Huan's eyes lit up suddenly, and her expression was both sad and joyful, extremely complicated.

The mysterious man opened his eyes and said lightly: "It's really stubborn, I followed after being so seriously injured." ”

In front of the inn, Lian Yunlan's battle with the mysterious man was only separated in an instant, and his desperate blow did not get the slightest chance, and at the moment when he was about to approach the mysterious man, he was knocked away by the mysterious man again.

He rolled dozens of meters away, like a puddle of rotten meat, covered in blood, and there was no intact place on his body.

Chao Huan screamed, but the mysterious man said, "If you come with me, I can let him go." ”

Chao Huan was silent for a moment, nodded with tears in her eyes, she fed Lian Yunlan a few pills, helped him in a hidden place, and finally left with the mysterious person.

However, Lian Yunlan followed, relying on his tenacious will, stubbornly following behind the two.

Hearing the mysterious man's words, Chao Huan was extremely nervous, she was afraid that the mysterious man would kill Lian Yunlan, so she hurriedly said: "You promised me that you would not kill him." ”

The mysterious man glanced at her, Chao Huan tightened, she felt the mysterious man's scrutiny, but there was no hostility.

After a while, the mysterious man said, "I'm a little curious, he is the doppelganger of the Nine Branches, why do you value him so much." ”

In fact, when the mysterious man mentioned the end of the day, she only thought that the other party was the enemy of the end of the day, but when she realized that the mysterious man was coming at her, she thought of another person.

Nine branches.

Probably in this world, in addition to killing people and snatching treasures, there are still people who know her identity and will come to her, only this person.

At this time, the mysterious man's words made Chao Huan convinced of his guess.

She looked at the firelight and was silent for a moment before speaking slowly.

"It's me who is sorry for him."

"Oh? Feeling guilty? Take advantage of a man who doesn't know anything. ”

was said to be in his heart, Chao Huan was silent.

The man sneered, "If I know correctly, he seems to have been calculated by the sky from beginning to end, even the master who is the master and the father is a deception, and the encounter with you seems to him to be a beautiful coincidence, but he doesn't know that it is the result of being calculated, he is good for him in his heart, and the person who helps him is actually using him from the beginning, just asking him to have a true heart..."

"Say no more!" Chao Huan stood up, she subconsciously looked at the place where the panting sound was, Lian Yunlan fell under a tree, unconscious.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it.

"Don't talk about it, these things... I know. ”

"I know what a despicable thing I'm doing, calculating an innocent person, and even if this is just the beginning, I'm going to hurt more people, hurt more people. They died because of me, and I will carry this iniquity forever. ”
