"You have to give me an account. ”

An old man with a half-gray head sat quietly on a bamboo chair. In front of him was a pool, and behind him, a young-looking, purple-robed man was asking the old man with a hint of irrepressible anger.

The man in the purple robe looked like he was in his twenties, his head was tied behind his head with a purple band, his figure was long, he looked very straight, and his facial features were also very handsome, especially the nose looked taller than ordinary people, but the complexion on his face was too fair, without the slightest blood, it looked like white jade, even in the sun, it was shining with a slight cold light. Coupled with the two large white round earrings on his ears, it added a bit of a demonic atmosphere.

His purple robe flowed with tadpole-like runes, emitting strong mana fluctuations. But if you see this person for the first time, the first thing that catches your eye must be this person's feet.

On the ground about a foot under this person's feet, there were bursts of faint blue brilliance, and this faint blue brilliance was like a hexagonal dark blue jade plate under his feet, with a trace of strange patterns, and this brilliance like a dark blue jade plate was just the atmosphere formed by the natural emission of mana fluctuations on his body.

This kind of solemn weather made him not like he was walking between actions, but as if he was floating with a dark blue jade plate.

He questioned the gray-headed old man in front of him with a cold and angry question, the two large white round earrings on his ears shook slightly, and the whole world behind him seemed to shake faintly.

It seemed that the whole world trembled because of his anger.

Such a faint momentum can only appear in a strong person like Kuang Wuxin and Qi Liancheng.

"What explanation?"

The gray-headed old man turned slightly. The old man's back looked very peaceful, he was wearing an ordinary ephedra robe, and there didn't seem to be even a trace of mana fluctuations on his body, except for his head hanging down scatteredly, it seemed to be no different from an ordinary old man. But the appearance of the old man who turned around was an indescribable horror.

The old man's face on the left side seemed to have been shattered by some blunt object. Although all the wounds have healed, the flesh and blood in many places are completely gone, and under the hideous and terrifying wounds, Sensen's white bones are exposed. His left arm was also broken, and his sleeve hung empty in the chair below him.

It was a crippled old man, for even half of his face was covered with wrinkles as deep as a knife and the kind of black or brown spots that a real old man would have. But his only intact eyes are very vivid, rippling with life, as if there is a smart picture in it, which makes it easy for people to look at it at a glance and be attracted by his eyes.

"What explanation?"

The young man in the purple robe took a step forward, the hexagonal dark blue light under his feet was so bright that there seemed to be bursts of white and blue light on his face, "You have called all the Daredevil under my seat, don't you need to give me any explanation?"

"What do I need to explain?" The gray-headed old man didn't stand up, his intact eyes seemed to be looking at the young man interestingly, and he didn't seem to feel the powerful power emanating from the purple-robed man at all, "Lingshitian, since you and the third child have been defeated by me, in the past ten years, your subordinates are still all my subordinates, and I don't need to give you any explanation when I call them, not to mention that I didn't only call your subordinates, I also called the blood Yama under the third seat." ”

"You!"

The purple-robed young man's body tightened suddenly, and the hexagonal dark blue light that naturally emanated under his feet seemed to tighten slightly, but a terrifying aura seemed to appear in his body, as if something extremely terrifying would suddenly appear in this world in the next moment.

But at this time, the gray-headed old man smiled, "I naturally don't have to give you any explanation, but if you don't know anything and want to ask me, don't cross that line, I may be able to talk to you." After a pause, looking at the purple-robed man who suddenly stopped, the gray-headed old man continued, "It seems that although you have completely refined the demon heart, your mind is still more or less affected, if you don't pay attention to these, ten years later, you may not even be able to beat the third child." ”

Behind the gray-headed old man, there was a line, a shallow line carved into the stone. It was crooked, like some naughty boy casually drawing a stone on the ground, but this line seemed to have some special meaning to both the gray-headed old man and the purple-robed man. After hearing the old man's words, the purple-robed man stopped less than three feet away from the line.

......

"Why?"

After a slight silence, the faint anger in the purple-robed man's eyes disappeared, but even so, the blue brilliance under his feet and his white jade-like face naturally exuded a chilling chill.

"What you're talking about, why did I agree to cooperate with Kuang?" the gray-haired old man's only intact eyes looked at him vividly, "or is it something else?"

"Let's start with this. The purple-robed man sneered: "You don't really think that after you take charge of Kunlun, you will give us a piece of the pie, right?"

"I never thought so. The old man shrugged his shoulders and said with some mockery, "But I will not refuse to do anything that may weaken Kunlun's strength." ”

"What do you mean.... The purple-robed man was stunned and frowned. Suddenly, the look in his eyes seemed to change from the look of a face facing an enemy who shared the heavens to the look of a teacher.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a heart, or if you don't have a god, as long as there is an existence like Kunlun, it doesn't make much difference to us. A strange smile appeared on the old man's face, "And I don't think that if you are unintentional, you will definitely be able to defeat Huang Wushen." ”

The purple-robed man continued to think, frowned and said: "It turns out that you promised to send so many of our subordinates to help him, just to let Kunlun lose more strength, but you don't think that you can win against Huang Wushen, then our strength will definitely be lost." ”

"If Ku Wuxin is really not Huang Wushen's opponent, then few of our people will come back. "There was a tragic aura faintly exuding from the old man's body, and this aura had nothing to do with cultivation... This is the breath that only those who have experienced and survived the real Great War will have. Even if he survived the battle of Zhaoyao Mountain, the King of Beiming, who was looking at the direction of Qilian Liancheng's departure that day, did not have such an aura on his body.

The old man who exuded this unique tragic aura on his body said silently: "But if we can use our five points of strength, and let Kunlun lose four or five points of strength, it will be worth it." ”

The purple-robed man was silent for a moment and nodded.

He knew very well that if everyone lost half, it would be equal literally, but if a behemoth like Kunlun was lost in half, the gap between his side and Kunlun would be invisibly narrowed. The simplest truth... If we follow the simplest arithmetic, let's say two armies, one has 2,000 people and the other has 20,000 people. The original gap was 18,000. But if they are all lost in half, one side becomes a thousand, and one side becomes ten thousand, and the difference is only nine thousand.

And the reason why he came to question the old man before was not because he didn't want to make any moves, he just wanted to stay here. He also knew very well in his heart that under the condition that Kunlun almost controlled the entire world, Kunlun's strength was rising like a snowball, and they were bound to take the initiative to do something, otherwise in his calculations, I am afraid that in less than ten years, Kunlun would have enough places to destroy here... Sweep the entire Cham Cham Zedi.

And in the end, no matter whether it is a win-free victory or a win-free victory, from this point of view, the choice made by the old man is undoubtedly correct. Because with their strength alone, even if none of the people sent out could come back, they would not be able to make Kunlun lose more than forty percent of their strength. ‘

"I know you also sent someone to help Luobei. ”

The purple-robed man no longer reprimanded the gray-headed old man, and calmed down, "What are you trying to do here? Let Kunlun lose more strength? With just a few of them, it is impossible to kill Qilian Liancheng." If you really want to kill him, I'll go with the third child. ”

"I don't think so. Between Qilian Liancheng and Luobei, what kind of whirlpool will be rolled up, and what kind of power will be attracted, I can't imagine it myself, I don't want you two to get involved. This is the battle between Kunlun and Luofu, with our strength, it is not easy to intervene, and we have put so much in the situation Wuxin, if there is more damage here, it is Kunlun can lose sixty percent of the strength, I am afraid that we will be easily destroyed in the future. The old man shook his head, his gray head swept across half of his broken face, "I don't want to put my eggs in one basket like Mingruo. It's clear, but it's too risky. I let them go, just to let them convey a message to Luobei at the right time....At some point, at some necessary time, we, Zhanzhou Zedi, will be on his side. Whether it is from Luofu's consistent code of conduct or Luobei as a person, if the kindness we convey is appropriate, he will not forget our kindness in the future. ”

After a pause, the gray-headed old man suddenly looked at the purple-robed man and said, "If you really want to make a move, you can go to Kunlun with the third child." ”

"To Kunlun?"

"Yes. Go to Kunlun. The gray-headed old man nodded, "You two, don't meddle in the affairs between Kuang Wuxin and Huang Wushen." But if you are guaranteed to leave unharmed, there is a possibility that you will be injured by the phoenix, you will take action once. Just hurt him. ”

"Waiting for a chance to injure Huang Wushen?" the purple-robed man shook his head puzzled, "I want to know why." Because I know that the third child may not be able to figure out the reason. ”

"There was a mountain forest with a lion. The lion could eat whatever he wanted, and no one ever dared to resist, because no animal was its opponent. One day when it was trying to eat a cow, the cow couldn't help but resist a little, and it accidentally got hit a little bit. But after a few days, the lion died. It wasn't because the cow hurt it, because the cow just broke its skin a little and bleed a little. It was easy to bite the cow to death and eat the cow. The old man's only intact eye shone with a wise and vivid brilliance, "This lion is dead, only because the other animals are beginning to think... It turns out that it can also bleed and be injured, and if the cow can hurt it, they can naturally hurt it. Then many beasts of prey began to challenge it and wound it, and the lion who had ruled over the whole forest died. ”

"Kunlun and Huang Wushen are such a lion... Now there are people who have come forward to fight Kunlun, but this is not enough. After Huang Wushen cultivated to the great accomplishment, no one had ever been able to defeat him or hurt him. No one knows how high his cultivation has become, although he may only be a little higher than Kuangwuxin, or about the same as the current Kuangwuxin. But as long as Kunlun is still so strong and there is still an existence like him, not many people will stand on the opposite side of Kunlun and him. If you can hurt him, and even make people feel that he is in great danger of being killed, you will have more and more strength to dare to wear down Kunlun's strength. ”

The purple-robed man took a deep breath and slowly spit it out. After a while, he suddenly couldn't help but scold, "No wonder I've been cultivating for so many years, but I still can't beat you old thing." I would never have thought of such a thing as yours. ”

"In terms of cultivation time, I'm much longer than you. But you're going to beat me one day. Because I have lived for so many years, you just need to be careful, when my life is over, you will definitely be alive and well. The old man grinned, "But you and the third child must be careful, and only make a move when you are 100% sure that both of you are absolutely safe and can hurt Huang Wushen, otherwise, you must not make a move." ”

"You old thing, are you really old, so concerned about our safety?" the purple-robed man scolded.

"Reishiten, you are mistaken, I am concerned about my own safety. The old man said: "For Kunlun and Huang Wushen, we are definitely more eye-catching than Zhaoyao Mountain. Because their first flag was to eradicate us, and I always felt that it was because the three of us were doing well, so Kunlun didn't do anything to us. If either of you accidentally loses his life, it may not be many days before I will follow you. ”

"Well, I accept that. Although the old man said very ruthlessly, the purple-robed man was not angry, he turned around, as if he wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered something, turned to look at the old man, "I have one last question... A broken lotus flower, what's so beautiful about it, it's worth looking at all day long, and you have to draw a line on this ground, I'm afraid that the mana fluctuations on my body will kill your broken lotus flower?"

...

In front of the old man was a lotus pond.

A very simple, made of bluestone, the railing is also a simple stone stacked together, there is no half of the beauty of the lotus pond.

In the lotus pond with a radius of less than ten zhang, there are a few thin lotus leaves floating, and a white lotus flower with a slight pink bloom.

In a pool of green water, this one is very ordinary... Even some lotus flowers that have been crippled are just a broken lotus flower, just like the purple-robed man said, and there is indeed not much to look at.

But hearing this last question from the purple-robed man, there was a complicated look in the old man's eyes. "Some things, because they are few, because they are not, are precious. ”

The purple-robed man thought about it again, and seemed to have some understanding, but he seemed to be a little annoyed, annoyed that with his own identity, he seemed useless in front of the old man, and there was no place that could compare to him. So after a pause, the purple-robed man didn't say anything anymore, and disappeared from the old man's sight with a cloud of ghost light under his feet.

......

The old man's place, if viewed from afar, looks like a black island.

And if you look closely, you can clearly see that the island where he is located is not a lake, nor a sea area, but a large lake surrounded by black water and mud. This lake is like the valley full of dead air and bones in the swaggering mountains of the Northern Ming King.

The difference is that in this infinite expanse of fertile land, there are still sparsely grown reed-like plants.

It's just....in the mire as far as the eye can see, including the infinitely vast, dead and silent mire, including the mound-like islands in the mire, there is a pond like this in front of the old man, but only this one, and only in this pool, this lotus flower blooms.

This infinitely vast quagmire is the Zhanzhou Zedi where legends have gathered the most in the world, and the masters of cultivating the magic path are the most! A place where no cultivator of the Xuanmen sect in the world dares to enter lightly.

"Because there is none, it is precious. ”

The old man knew that the purple-robed man might not be able to understand the true meaning of what he said, and in fact, there were some things that he didn't fully tell the purple-robed man. For example, he understood such a truth, and he only understood it because he heard that Yuan Tianyi attacked Kunlun. Before, he also didn't understand why Yuan Tianyi did that. Because although Yuan Tianyi's technique is flawed, in the eyes of others, it is also the best choice to die vigorously when his strength is not exhausted, but the old man knows that with Luofu's way of acting, Yuan Tianyi will not do such a "stupid" thing. According to his usual way, he didn't have to go directly to Kunlun, but could easily attack in secret, kill countless Kunlun masters, and lose Kunlun's strength until the day when his strength was exhausted.

But when this lotus flower bloomed, the old man suddenly figured it out. Those masters who can be easily killed, and even the characters in the top ten golden immortals, are not the root of Kunlun. Kunlun, represented by Huang Wushen, is the most unshakable thing in Kunlun.

Yuan Tianyi went to Kunlun to find Huang Wushen to fight, just to shake Kunlun's foundation, and Yuan Tianyi's actions were to bring the greatest damage to Kunlun. This is also the principle that Luofu has always acted in. It's a pity that Huang Wushen seems to feel this and chooses to forbear. So although Yuan Tianyi has killed so many Kunlun masters, although he and Luo Bei have now stood up to be enemies of Kunlun....There are already characters who dare to be enemies of Kunlun, but this is not enough....

The old man admitted that Yuan Tianyi was his own character, and Huang Wushen... The character who can make Yuan Tianyi fall short in the end, although he also borrowed the general trend of Kunlun, but it also made the old man feel in his heart that Huang Wushen was also far above him.

However, looking at the many broken lotus flowers that the purple-robed man in front of him said, this terrifying-looking old man smiled slightly.

It is extremely difficult to grow other plants in Zhanzhou, but after all, such a lotus flower was born. Although there are few people like Yuan Tianyi and Luobei, although they are precious, they are not nothing. In this world, there are always some people who are unwilling to live according to the wishes of others.

The old man's smile at this time was very warm and happy.

"It is said that there are many lotus flowers in Kunlun, and there are many lotus flowers that grow in the liquid of stone milk... But so much, maybe the mood when Huang Wushen looks at those lotus flowers is not as good as the mood when I look at this lotus flower, right?" the old man smiled and thought in his heart.
