"Has it been used up?" Li Qingtai muttered, the light in his pupils dissipated, as if it was about to go out at any time.

Zhou Xingyu stood in front of the desk, looking at the master who seemed to be lifeless in front of him, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to stand silently.

The atmosphere was dull, neither of them spoke, the room was unusually quiet, the pins could be heard, only the candle flame on the desk swayed gently with the breeze, and there was a snapping sound from time to time.

After a long time, Li Qingtai finally came back to his senses, his head lowered slightly, closed his eyes for a moment, and then raised his head suddenly, his face was cold, and he said in a stiff tone: "It's okay for the teacher, you can step back first." ”

There is no loss in his eyes, only suppressed madness, as if he is about to break through the rotten body at any time and wreak havoc on the world.

Hearing his master's words, Zhou Xingyu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just nodded, turned around and left the room.

Coming outside the house, Zhou Xingyu was in a heavy mood and wanted to do something to relieve the irritability in his heart, but in the end, there was only silence left, and he could only look up at the dark sky.

"Master, I have obtained the Chaos Spirit Table, which can copy medicinal materials, and you can help me find medicinal materials for cultivation without so much hard work in the future. ’

"Master, Aoki has already cultivated to the seventh layer, and I can now practice martial arts, and the realm has reached a hundred levels. ’

'Master, during your absence, I miss you so much, I'm worried that something has happened to you, and I'm worried that you'll never come back. ’

'Master,......'

There are a thousand words in his heart, but he didn't say a word, the master's eyes just now were so unfamiliar, he had never seen such a master, and the coldness in those pupils was so uncomfortable.

When he first took the two of them as apprentices, the master looked at him as if he were a stranger, and he didn't like it, and he didn't hate it.

Later, as the master and apprentice got along for a long time, the master's gaze gradually became gentle, full of the love of the elders looking at the younger ones.

Just now, the moment the master lowered his head, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, if it weren't for his keen five senses, he might have been ignored.

The master at that moment was so strange.

After Zhou Xingyu left silently, the room fell into a brief calm.

Li Qingtai put his hands on the desk, his eyes lowered, and his arms began to tremble slightly.

"Used up, actually used, actually used,......" he muttered, his voice was low, his five fingers firmly grasped the edge of the table, the force in his hand became greater and greater, the hard table top was like a cloth, gradually deformed in his hand, and finally turned into a thin small plank, leaving two palms on the edge of the table.

"Don't hesitate, you have no way out, cooperate with me, you can not only live, but also be able to join us, don't you want to seek revenge on the Dragon Yin Pavilion? Don't you want to spend time with your wife and daughter? Cooperate with me, want me to open my heart, and completely integrate with me, only in this way can you live and do what you want to do. ”

Survive? I want to live! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!

Li Qingtai stood up from the chair, his face was distorted, his pupils were full of madness, a thick black gas erupted from his chest, and then enveloped his entire face, black gas entered from Mrs. Li's eyes, ears, mouth, nose and seven orifices, the air became cold and heavy, even the light on the table became green, and the study seemed to become a tomb. After a long time, when the last bit of black gas entered Li Qingtai's mind, everything around him returned to calm, and the lights turned bright yellow again.

"It's amazing to have your body again!" Li Qingtai shook his palm, felt the blood in his body, and showed a look of enjoyment on his face.

"Soon, soon, just a little preparation, soon everything will return to its original trajectory......"

Zhou Xingyu left Li Qingtai's residence with a depressed expression and walked on the road, preoccupied.

I don't know why, the master's return this time was originally a happy thing, but he couldn't be happy in his heart no matter what, and his heart seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze.

Back in the house, lying on the bed, he looked up at the roof, thinking of some unknown melancholy.

In a blink of an eye, the next day, Zhou Xingyu finished washing, came to Li Qingtai's room as usual, and greeted him with good morning, when Zhou Xingyu came to the room, Li Qingtai had disappeared, and a letter was left on the table.

Zhou Xingyu took the letter in his hand, looked at the familiar font on it, opened the letter, and after reading the content of the letter, he came outside the house and sat on the steps.

'Ah Xing:

When you read this letter, the master has already left the mountain gate, don't worry, I will be back soon.

Master Li Qingtai'

"The master actually left, and I don't know when he will come back?" Zhou Xingyu held the letter in his hand, walked out of the room and sat on the steps, muttering in his mouth.

Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder, Zhou Xingyu turned his head, looked at the comer, and then turned his head to look at the bamboo forest in front of him boredly.

"Who left? Sing. Why do you seem to have no energy? ”

The person who came was Wang Ye, seeing that Zhou Xingyu was in a bad mood, he sat on the steps, pulled a dog's tail grass from his side at random, and followed Zhou Xingyu's example, shaking his feet back and forth under the steps.

Zhou Xingyu said: "It's my master." ”

Wang Ye asked with a puzzled expression, "Your master?" Is Lord Li Gu back? ”

Zhou Xingyu nodded, and replied: "My master has been back for a while, not only that, but Senior Brother Li Tong's injuries have also been treated by the master, and now he is on a mission at the bottom of the mountain, and I don't know when I will come back." ”

"The master saw me yesterday, and then left a letter and left, saying that there was something, the senior brother left, the master also left, and I became a person again."

Thinking of the change in his master, Zhou Xingyu's heart seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, but although he had an excellent relationship with Wang Ye, he was not ready to say more to Wang Ye. These things may only be kept in the bottom of my heart for the rest of my life.

Wang Ye said with a smile: "Since Brother Li has recovered, this is a good thing, originally I wasn't going to trouble you, but now it's okay, now that Brother Li's matter has been resolved, and Master Li Gu is also back, it just so happens that you are fine, go!" I'll take you to meet someone. ”

Meet people?

Who to meet?

Zhou Xingyu frowned slightly.

Seeing Zhou Xingyu's expression, Wang Ye smiled angrily: "Don't worry, I don't know if you kid doesn't like those scenes of showing his face and becoming famous, this time I took you to meet an acquaintance." ”

In Wang Ye's opinion, Zhou Xingyu is good at everything, but he is too indifferent to fame and fortune, which is very bad, not like a person in the rivers and lakes at all.

Come out to mix, who doesn't want to be famous all over the world, when everyone sees themselves, they are heroes on the left and seniors on the right.

Zhou Xingyu is good, if it is not necessary, he will never expose himself in front of others, even if he has to stand in front of the stage, he will try to reduce his sense of existence, as if he is afraid that people will remember him.

But it is precisely because of this that Wang Ye is willing to get close to Zhou Xingyu, the two are just the opposite, Wang Ye is a character who has a jumpy personality, as long as he can be in the limelight, he will definitely not be willing to be left behind.

When he was on a mission with Zhou Xingyu, he basically came forward, and Zhou Xingyu stood silently behind him, like a follower.

The two have different personalities and complement each other, perhaps this is why the two can become brothers.

"Then let's go." Zhou Xingyu stood up and followed behind Wang Ye.

Since they are acquaintances, there is nothing to scruple about, and it is not bad to be in a bad mood, so it is not bad to go for a walk.

The two left the Rejuvenation Valley and walked all the way along the mountain road, because they used their internal strength, they soon came to a small town under the Xuanmen Mountain, and walked into a huge five-story pavilion under the leadership of Wang Ye.

As soon as the two appeared at the door, the shopkeeper who was settling accounts on the first floor looked over, and after finding out that it was Wang Ye, he hurriedly put down the abacus and account book in his hand, came to the two with a smile on his face, and smiled at Wang Ye flatteringly: "Wang Shao, why did you come in person, if there is something, just pass on a word." ”

Wang Ye nodded at the shopkeeper in front of him and said, "There is no one in the box on the top floor, right?" ”

The shopkeeper listened to Wang Ye's question, and hurriedly replied: "According to your orders, the Drunken Moon Pavilion on the top floor has always been kept." ”

Wang Ye nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "It's good that it's still here, there will be distinguished guests coming to me today, and when the time comes, you can just take them directly to the box on the top floor." ”

The shopkeeper nodded again and again, indicating that he understood, and then personally led the two of them upstairs.

Opening the door, Zhou Xingyu took a look at the environment in the room, the room was very large, composed of a conference hall, a viewing platform, a bedroom and a study, next to which were Bogu shelves made of pineapple wood, on which were placed porcelain and jade ornaments of various colors.

Wang Ye nodded, turned his head to the shopkeeper and said, "Okay, you go down and get busy, and then order someone to come over and serve." ”

After receiving Wang Ye's instructions, the shopkeeper nodded again, and then turned around and left.

Wang Ye took Zhou Xingyu to the conference hall, and after the two sat down, Wang Ye said: "This property was originally my father's, and then I came to point to Xuanmen to participate in the trial, and my father gave it to me, and the monthly profit is not high, but it is enough for me to eat and drink." ”

Zhou Xingyu nodded, after Wang Ye's explanation, he understood why the shopkeeper was so attentive to him.

"Brother Ye, you didn't say it before, but now you can say it, who are we going to meet?" Zhou Xingyu asked suspiciously.

On the way here, Zhou Xingyu also asked this question, but Wang Ye didn't say it with a mysterious face, Zhou Xingyu had no choice but to remain silent, and now that he had arrived at the location, Zhou Xingyu asked again.

Wang Ye was refreshed this time, and said: "I originally planned to wait for the arrival of the people, and you will naturally know, but since you are so curious, I will tell you directly." ”

"We mainly meet two people this time, one is a bald man, and the other is my uncle."

Hearing Wang Ye say two names, Zhou Xingyu couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Master Bald and Elder Li want to see me?" ”

Wang Ye nodded, "Ah Xing, before I say the reason, I want to say sorry to you first." ”

Wang Ye looked at Zhou Xingyu apologetically.

Zhou Xingyu was even more puzzled.

"Didn't I borrow 100,000 taels of silver from Wang Wen for the purpose of refining Huanglong Dan before?"

Zhou Xingyu nodded, he naturally knew that neither of them had so much silver on them at that time, and in the end, Wang Wen took out the dividends from Qingtan City so that there was no gap.
