There is a small city on the east coast of Xuanzhou.

There are many remote and dilapidated taverns in the small town, quiet alleys, and twists and turns.

An old man in a gray robe covered in patches led a boy with a young face into a silent alley, the two of them dressed in extremely plain clothes and unobtrusive.

"Master, where are we going?" The boy asked curiously.

"Master meets an old friend." The old man's voice was a little soft.

"Can we hurry up when we're done? The bad guys will catch up. The boy had undisguised concern in his eyes.

"What if you catch up, your master's talisman is all over the sky, and when the master heals his injuries, he can destroy them instantly." The old man smiled and said, "Don't worry, just stay in peace." ”

During the small talk, the two of them stopped in front of a tavern with only half a curtain on one door than a rag.

It was early in the morning, and there were many drunkards on both sides of the remote alley, so this tavern was even more deserted, except for a middle-aged woman who was wiping the wine bottle in front of the wine table.

"You wait here for me, don't come in, and don't eavesdrop." The old man commanded.

The boy groaned, then pulled out a piece of yellow talisman paper and pasted it on his head, and instantly became motionless like a living dead.

Seeing this scene, the gray-robed old man had a strange face and mixed tastes, and finally he could only sigh lightly, push open the curtain and walk in.

Looking at the woman on the stage, the old man coughed dryly twice and said, "Long time no see." ”

The tavern proprietress didn't raise her head, but her tone was extremely indifferent, "No, get out." ”

The gray-robed old man didn't mind, sat slowly on a table covered with cracks and dust in the corner, poured a glass of a bottle of daughter red that had obviously been prepared, and then drank it all.

"The people are so beautiful, the wine is so strong, and the place is so remote, it's really worrying here, isn't there something that doesn't have long eyes to provoke you?"

The old man's face was a little ruddy, and he asked curiously, "I heard that the Great Elder of the Seven Gods Sect not long ago has been pestering you for a long time and threatening you with something. ”

"What's your business?" The proprietress said indifferently.

"It's nothing, it's just that the guy is not happy, so I went to slaughter him." The old man laughed.

"Are you sick?" The mature plump woman suddenly glanced at it, frowned, and said, "He was so seriously injured, was it all the people of the Seven Gods Sect?" ”

"That guy is not qualified to resist in front of me, when he dies, he kneels like an old dog and begs for mercy, and it doesn't matter if I am injured." The gray-robed old man smiled.

"When you disappeared in front of me for so long, and suddenly came back to do these inexplicable things, what are you going to do? Thought I'd be grateful to you? The proprietress asked with squinted eyes gloomily.

The old man was silent for a moment and said, "I joined the Land of the Shadow Palace,"

The woman's eyes narrowed, and before she could say anything, the old man said again.

"And then I betrayed the Shadows."

The woman was close to collapse, and the old man suddenly smiled brightly again.

"The results have now been discovered by them."

....

....

It was surprisingly quiet inside the tavern.

A drunken scoundrel pushed open the curtain, and before he could say something drunk, his whole body seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, and he was bleeding directly on the wall of the alley.

Not far away, a young man with all five senses remained motionless and ignored him.

"You're crazy?!!"

A shrill voice came from inside the tavern.

The woman's voice trembled a little, with a panic that could not be concealed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Luo Zhen! Although you weren't a good bastard before, you didn't go to the end of your life, but now you think you can endure it? Dare to do such a thing? What is the existence of the land of the Shadow Palace, how can you and I provoke such scattered cultivators. ”

Luo Zhen didn't speak, just quietly looked out the window.

"Don't speak? Then what are you doing here, you can't enjoy dying alone, so you want to die with me? ”

The middle-aged woman's eyes were red, and her right fist slammed on the table, slamming, extremely dull, obviously angry.

"Don't worry, I won't bother you, I just want you to have time to help take care of a child in case I die." The old man finally spoke.

"Kid?"

The woman stared at Luo Zhen deadly, the latter was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth showed a helpless smile and said: "I adopted a child a few years ago, called Yu Zhenzi, I obtained, in short, the life experience is more miserable, my own small mountain village was affected by the aftermath when two monks who have achieved cultivation fight, and the entire mountain village was submerged after the cliff collapsed, leaving him alone, and he happened to be rescued by me who traveled here. ”

"So?" The woman said disdainfully.

The old man continued: "He has learned a lot of Taoism from me, and he is a good seedling, but it's a pity that he is too simple, well.... To be precise, it should be a little lacking, but it's much kinder than me. ”

"Are you doing this?"

The woman said expressionlessly: "But what does it matter to me, if this is the case, then after you die, I will at most be kind to let him understand for himself, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin of the Shadow Palace." ”

Luo Zhen.

The old man's name is quite particular.

Symbols.

With the heaven and earth of ghosts and gods, through the momentum of clouds, fog and stars, all of them are out of the natural void and the air is formed into words, born in the beginning of the beginning and out of the void.

There is also an old saying: If you know that the book is poor, you will be frightened.

In the former cultivation world, the Daomen stood in Dongzu Prefecture, which was extremely prosperous, but among the ten thousand methods of the Daomen, the method of the Fu Gong is the most withered and partial one, obscure and difficult to understand, and it is extremely difficult to achieve success after many years of hard work.

But in fact, the method of talisman is among the best among all the laws, both in terms of wonder and power.

And the way of the talisman was really valued in the Daomen, because a rune wizard from the Dao Sect at the end of the time, easily defeated the three geniuses of the top Dao Sect at that time with the power of the talisman and became famous in a battle, and the use of the talisman even surprised some Dao Sect ancestors.

Later, that Fu Dao genius occupied a great reputation in the cultivation world with his unique means, suppressing the Dao genius for decades, but it was a pity that there were no taboos in his actions, and he liked to act according to his own likes and dislikes, so he killed countless people, and both good and evil factions were unwilling to provoke easily.

Until decades ago, this person suddenly disappeared from the whole world, and never appeared in the light again.

The old man was silent for a while, poured another glass of wine and drank it all, before he said slowly: "Fu Dao One Pulse, I went to the extreme, and I was born with the five elements out of balance, stealing the power of ghosts and gods caused by heavenly jealousy, so I became like this, as for me to join the Land of the Shadow Palace, it was purely a moment of joy, mainly because the Land of the Shadow Hall acted very much to my taste." ”

The proprietress asked, "What now?" ”

The old man paused, "I just met another interesting guy in the Land of the Shadow Palace, which made me change this concept. ”

Luo Zhen smiled seriously: "When I think that this world may become good in the future, and I just happen to have something worth caring about and thinking about, then the initial joy will have to change again." ”

"The kid outside the door?"

"Yes."

"Willing to pay with your life, it seems that you have changed a lot."

The woman bowed her head slightly and asked sadly, "Will you die?" ”

"No, it's okay to kill, and it's even better to escape, I'm Luo Zhen."

Luo Zhen stood up, looked at the woman deeply, and then quipped: "If I live, I won't go anywhere, how about coming here to do chores for you?" ”

The woman gently wiped the corners of her eyes, unable to see her expression, and said, "It's too ugly, get out." ”

"I'll take you as a promise!"

The gray-robed old man didn't care, and laughed, "Let's go!" ”

The old man said and gently put down a talisman on the table.

Talisman of Stealing the Sky.

The aura within a radius of a hundred miles and the aura of a barren land thousands of miles away were instantly exchanged.

The old man has disappeared without a trace.
