Lin Xiu turned around slowly, raised his head, and his gaze fell on the old man's body again.

His complexion was incomparably calm, as calm as the clouds in the sky.

Originally, it seems inappropriate to associate the word calm with flowing clouds, and stillness and movement are two meanings that cannot be equated together.

But at this moment, it seems to be very appropriate.

Because the clouds in the sky have never moved even a fraction of a distance from beginning to end.

Lin Xiu lowered his head again, and his gaze fell to the ground.

There was a faint trail of footprints on the ground, beginning at his feet, zigzag into the distance, and in the distance, the footprints gradually overlapped together, like a line pressed by a rut.

But he knew that the distance was the beginning, and the foot was the end...... If he doesn't stop, if he doesn't turn around, the next step will be to step into the light gate behind him, and new footprints will not remain here.

He didn't know where the light gate would lead, but it wasn't where he wanted to go.

He looked at the trail of the only sinuous footprint in the distance, and was silent.

He wasn't thinking that the people around him were not real, but that even if he moved in one direction, he wouldn't be able to really walk in a straight line in the end......

The old man let out a low chuckle, and Moon Shadow's figure began to slowly dissipate.

Like a plate of light yarn in the wind, the higher it rises, the higher it goes, the farther it goes, the farther it goes, the lighter it gets......

However, the light sand did not really disappear, it seemed to swirl in the sky, and then fell again, turning into a rolling sand tide in an instant, covering the surrounding ground.

It turns out that this place is a desert.

Lin Xiu's right hand slowly grasped the hilt of the sword, he didn't know where this was, and he didn't know where Moon Shadow Xuan and the others were at this time, but he thought that the old man in front of him might have the answer he wanted.

A strange smile appeared on the old man's face, and then he asked in a deep voice, "Are you going to make a move on me?"

Lin Xiu didn't speak again, and what he answered the other party was a crisp sword groan.

His eyes suddenly lit up with dozens of dazzling lights!

It was the sword qi he sang, the light and shadow reflected in his eyes.

He was very decisive, from drawing his sword to drawing it, there was no interval at all, and he didn't even think about whether he would be the old man's opponent.

Perhaps for him, the question simply does not make sense.

The old man did not resist, and his body did not even move in the slightest.

Therefore, Lin Xiu's sword qi fell entirely on his body.

Dozens of sword marks appeared on his body, like cracks in the rock.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of "click" suddenly sounded, as if the stone layer was peeling off......

After Lin Xiu was slightly stunned, his heart suddenly sank.

He saw the rubble crack, saw the glow flickering, and then his consciousness began to blur a little, and the sky and earth in his eyes were no longer so distinct.

The yellow sand and the blue sky gradually blended, slowly evolving towards the strange gray.

Slowly, the gray turned into black, endless black

Like a starless and moonless night

It's quiet

......

In the confusion, there was a faint rustling sound, the sound was like a spring silkworm gnawing on mulberry leaves, and like a drizzle hitting a branch.

Lin Xiu gradually woke up from his slumber, first feeling a little pain in his head, and then opened his eyes a little dazed.

It was not darkness in front of me, but bright stars in the sky.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he seemed to be a little cold, and then he found that he was lying in a wooden barrel, and the cold air in the barrel rose and continued to rush towards his body......

He was stunned.

Then his eyes slowly widened.

His eyes were full of indescribable shock!!

He turned his head with some difficulty, and then saw the moss-covered stone well in his memory, and next to the stone well was the familiar old elm tree.

In the night breeze, the treetops swayed gently, swaying the bright starlight in the sky......

He took a deep breath and immediately looked towards the corner, and then, his body shook, and his gaze became a little glazed.

After the sluggishness, the mist in his eyes surged.

The middle-aged man who haunted him was slightly closed at this time, quietly half-lying on the bamboo chair, and his right hand gently knocked on the armrest of the bamboo chair.

"Master......"

Lin Xiu muttered these two words, and his voice suddenly choked.

He thought to himself that even if it was an illusion, he recognized it, at least, he had met his master.

Hearing Lin Xiu's voice, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes, he frowned, then stood up from the bamboo chair and walked quickly to Lin Xiu's approach.

Lin Xiu muttered again, "Master......"

The middle-aged man looked concerned and said softly, "Are you uncomfortable today?"

Lin Xiu didn't speak again, just looked at the other party stupidly, his eyes didn't blink.

He didn't dare blink

He was afraid that when he closed his eyes for a moment, he would be in the vicissitudes of life when he opened them again.

The middle-aged man's face began to become solemn, as if Lin Xiu's reaction made him feel abnormal, he suddenly stretched out a hand, and put his fingers on Lin Xiu's wrist.

After a while, he frowned and said, "It's strange, it's not like the scorching sun is fusing veins, it should be suppressed by the cold."

When he was wondering, Lin Xiu in the bucket had already burst into tears......

That's what it feels like

That was his master's hand.

Rough, but warm hands.

That hand accompanied him through countless dying nights, and that period of time was the support of his life and his courage to live.

Looking at the worry between the middle-aged man's eyebrows, feeling the familiar heat, Lin Xiu twitched his sour nose and prepared to speak.

He wanted to tell Master that his Burning Sun Fusion was healed, and that he no longer needed to suffer from the daily pain of the cold invasion.

He wanted to tell the other party that he had been able to cultivate, and had even successfully advanced to Guanhai.

He knew that this place was supposed to be just an illusion, but he still couldn't wait to share this joy with Master.

He wants to dispel the worry between the other party's eyebrows with joy, and make the other party smile on his face.

In his memory, his master hadn't really laughed happily for a long time.

He opened his mouth, but then his face froze suddenly......

True Element.

His true yuan!!

He didn't have any true yuan in his body at all.

The feeling that the true element flowing through the meridians, sometimes like the raging waves of the sea, sometimes like a trickling stream, has long been gone at this time.

He suddenly raised his hand, trying to condense the true yuan, but no matter how hard he tried, he didn't react at all.

He felt the chaos of the meridians in his body, like hemp rope twisted together......

"How...... Will it be?"

His face was dejected, but more of a horror was there.

Isn't this a fantasy? Is it so real?

Suddenly, he thought of something, and immediately looked at his right arm, but he was disappointed, or rather desperate......

His right arm was smooth, and there was no Holy Spirit pattern he expected to see.

At this moment, the middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Xiu raised his head blankly, but his mind was already in chaos.

The middle-aged man didn't continue to speak, just frowned and looked at Lin Xiu, he didn't think that Lin Xiu could ask anything at this time.

After a long time, Lin Xiu muttered:

"Master, I just ...... Always here?"

The middle-aged man's eyes were full of doubts, but he still said in a deep voice: "Of course I have always been here." ”

Lin Xiu was silent for a long time, and suddenly he felt a splitting headache, as if a strange force was tearing at his consciousness, and he couldn't help but let out a wail.

After a long time......

He reopened his eyes, and he saw a familiar room.

He lay on the bed, the bed he was familiar with.

His eyes were a little dazed, his head was still a little dazed, as if something had been forgotten, but he couldn't think of anything.

A familiar voice sounded: "You're awake!"

Lin Xiu looked at the middle-aged man, his gaze was already calm.

"What the hell is wrong with you today?"

Facing the middle-aged man's concern, Lin Xiu frowned, and after a while, he muttered:

"I seem to ...... Had a dream."

......

......

In that desert, Lin Xiu's figure was motionless, as if it had turned into a stone sculpture.

No, it doesn't seem, below his knees, he has been wrapped in a thick layer of rock, and that rock layer has a tendency to gradually spread upward.

Beside him was the old man, but at this time, the old man's figure was extremely illusory, and it looked like a cloud of light from a distance.

The old man suddenly smiled and said, "Boy, although I don't know how you were teleported directly to me, there hasn't been a single one who can break through my level for thousands of years." ”

"Hey, if you let you go, you won't go, you have to suffer a little before leaving. But the path I chose, I have to go down with my bare ass...... Even though you can't make it to the end, hahaha!"

The old man let out a strange laugh, but suddenly the laughter stopped abruptly, and then he said with a look of surprise: "Huh, Bingluan...... This girl...... Is it from the Star Gods?"

"I'll go, no wonder one less person is still so violent, and he broke into my two halls in just such a moment. Interesting!"

After saying this, the old man glanced at Lin Xiu, and then the light flashed and disappeared in place

......

The third level in the Qingyun Secret Realm.

Moon Shadow Xuan's faces were slightly anxious.

Obviously, their anxiety was because of Lin Xiu.

As soon as they entered the secret realm, after a few people sighed, they suddenly found that there was one person missing......

Lin Xiu was gone.

At first, they thought that Lin Xiu hadn't come in yet, but after waiting for a while, they still didn't find Lin Xiu's shadow.

Several people realized that something was wrong.

I haven't heard that there will be separations in the Qingyun Secret Realm.

But waiting is not an option, and being anxious will not help.

So Moon Shadow immediately made a decision, rush!

If Lin Xiu had really entered the secret realm, then it was very likely that he was at a certain level.

Therefore, everyone had to move forward as soon as possible, because if Lin Xiu was teleported to a later level, then it would be really dangerous.

Therefore, several people opened their firepower, and with the strength of five people, they set the fastest speed to pass the second level.

Of course, the most important thing is because of Moon Shadow

Because Bingluan ......

Soon, they saw the stone carvings of the third level.

As if feeling their breath, the stone sculpture suddenly moved

......
