The waves on the surface of the lake seem to have been suppressed, but the surface is still calm.

The heart in the old man's heart, which had been calm for many years, was like that lake, and he was trying to keep it calm.

Although he didn't know why He Nian suddenly appeared, he could also guess something that should be what happened to Yang Hejiu's side.

To the girl's surprise, this unusually upright looking old man would answer his questions so impatiently, and although his words were not enthusiastic, he clearly answered his questions.

From the first time she saw the old man, she thought that she would be ordered to be evicted, or get up and leave, but she never imagined that she would be treated like this.

The girl nodded and continued to ask, "Why did that sword give to Xu Changan?"

The old man shook his head and said, "That sword is useless to me, so I asked Xiao Jiu to give it away, as for who it was given to, I don't know in whose hands." ”

"I just heard you say two words, what's the use? Why is it useless?"

That sentence is not a useless explanation. I have a friend who was also the previous dean here, and what was the original name? ”

"He Sansan?" the girl asked seemingly indifferently, and she didn't have the shock that ordinary people had when they heard it, as if she was asking He Sansan if he was your friend.

The old man nodded.

The girl asked curiously: "We don't know each other, you don't look like an old man who is easy to bully, and even in this world, there are very few people who can bully you, so why do you have to be patient with answering my questions?"

Suddenly thinking of something, the girl patted her head and said, "Oh, I understand, this is the academy, it should be advocating education without class." ”

The old man's face was gloomy, and he blew his beard and said, "You are willing to come thousands of miles to ask me questions because of curiosity, and I am willing to answer your questions because of curiosity, not because of those who read books." ”

At this age, it's hard to be curious about some people, and the dean's curiosity is rarely aroused today.

"What are you curious about?" the girl asked, with a twinkle in her eyes.

The old man shook his head, "I'm curious that you shouldn't answer, so I won't ask." ”

The girl turned to look at the old man's white robe, frowned slightly, and said, "It doesn't seem that there is dust on that piece of your clothes?"

"Your outfit doesn't seem to be just about color, either. ”

The girl pointed to her clothes and said, "This is red, you think too much." ”

The old man shook his head slightly, and said as if you were a fool, "I see peace in your clothes. There are many colors, and there are many reds, but that kind of peace is not what these other colors can show. ”

The girl waved her hand aggressively, and said modestly and proudly: "Pass the prize, pass the award." Of course, your clothes are not bad, like that... Immortal wind bones, yes, very immortal!"

The old man's robe was more like an immortal who had fallen to the ground and dyed with mortal dust, not as white as the immortals, nor as black as the world.

It seems to be telling some people that the world is not black and white.

"When the bottom of my heart was covered with dust, it appeared on my clothes. I've been oscillating between black and white for many years to get to where I am today. The old man looked up at the bright moon in the sky and said with a wry smile.

"It's all up to this, it doesn't matter if you choose not to choose, the most important thing is to enjoy, enjoy it, you know?" The girl in red scratched her head and continued: "What choice are you going to make? Who forced you to make a choice?"

"No one can force me to do anything, but I have to make my own choices. The choice of standing outside the world or coming into the world was important for me to take that step, and it was important for many people. ”

The outside world is white, and the world is black. Neither black nor white, there seems to be no place for him in this world.

The girl in red nodded thoughtfully, "The step you said should be the Divine Journey Realm, right?"

The old man nodded.

The current into the sea has reached its peak, and it is only one step away from fugue, but this step has troubled the old man for decades, just because he can't find his position.

Not only the elderly, but this step has also troubled many people's lives.

If the mind is not free, it cannot be fugue.

The fugue lies in two points, the beginning and the end. Only by finding these two points can it be possible to move a thousand miles in one step.

Unfortunately, the old man did not know where his end was, and he could not make his own choice.

On the other hand, he has not yet identified his position, so he will not be able to find the end at all.

The girl in red said magnificently: "Hey, what's so difficult about this, it's not bad if you can't freely choose to go back and pursue consummation." ”

"Even if you are already in the sea, how can you turn back? The old man looked at the girl like a fool and said.

The girl nodded, "That's just as well. ”

The old man looked up at the sky and thoughtfully said: "I made a choice many years ago, and it was that choice that made me afraid, and I got farther and farther away from that threshold, and this dress began to become neither black nor white. Now it's time to make a choice, and I'm afraid to choose. ”

"Do you regret that choice?"

The old man remembered his student, and smiled happily: "I don't regret it." ”

"But this time, I'm afraid I'll regret it. The old man continued.

"I don't know where I am, I don't know where I'm going, drifting aimlessly like driftwood, it's a really difficult choice. The girl couldn't help but yawn and said.

The old man laughed: "You can live in the Spirit Academy first, I know you have a lot of curiosity, there are many things you want to figure out, I can't help you too much, but you can try to get close to those curiosities first." ”

The girl nodded, that's exactly what she did, that's why she appeared in Sifang City, stole fish to eat in Xu Chang'an's courtyard, and felt Beiyang City overnight and came to the Spirit Academy.

Standing up, he looked at the old man and asked, "Where should I go?"

"Go with your heart, knock on the door and someone will take you to your room. ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "You can also try, maybe it will help." ”

After the girl left, the old man shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself: "No one can take me to find my own end." ”

Looking up at the sky, what I saw was confusion.

Looking down at the lake, I was puzzled.

Slowly sat down in place, staring at the lake in front of him seriously, not knowing what to think again.

"Teacher, Lord Si Zheng of the Imperial Spirit Division rushed back from Sifang City overnight, and is now pleading outside the courtyard. It was still the man who stood far behind the old man just now and waved his hand and saluted.

"Let him go. Suddenly thinking of something, the old man asked, "This time I went to Sifang City, but he led the team?"

"Commander Lin escorted Emperor Zulong on a trip, but after returning to the capital, he refused to lead the troops, and His Majesty was worried that there were hidden masters in the city to avoid excessive losses of the army, so he let him go with him. ”

The old man said with itchy teeth: "Can you not be so verbose?" Let him come, I have something to ask. ”

......

"I've seen the Dean. Bi Siqian looked at the back, raised his right hand with difficulty, and saluted.

The old man did not look back, neither spoke nor asked, but as if he could not hear.

Bi Siqian licked his lips and said, "I did it with Mr. Nine in the city, which is really a great disrespect to the dean, so I came here to ask for it. ”

Doing something with someone else's student, being injured by him, but having to rush to the house overnight to plead guilty, this kind of absurd words will not be believed anywhere else. But if it is placed in the Spirit Academy, and it comes out of the mouth of Bi Siqian, the Lord of the Imperial Spirit Division, no matter how ridiculous the words are, they will become less absurd.

The old man said, "You don't have to expect me to persuade him of anything. Xiao Jiu is kind-hearted, if he can hurt you, it must be because you have done something that makes him unbearable, and I will not stop him if he wants to kill you. ”

"So, what else do you have to do now?" the old man got up and looked at Bi Siqian and asked.

Hearing this, Bi Siqian instantly felt that he had fallen to the bottom.

Although he didn't think that Yang Hejiu would chase him to the capital to kill him, he also wanted to ask for a gold medal for himself to avoid death just in case.

For Yang Hejiu, the most effective gold medal was not from His Majesty the Emperor, but with the words of the old man in front of him.

The plan fell through, and I began to panic.

Thinking of those perfect eyes, Bi Siqian's lips trembled and returned: "It's gone." ”

"I want to know what you've been doing in the city, and why you're alarming that old thing. The old man asked.

If you don't give me face, you have to ask me questions in turn?!

"Dean He?!" Bi Siqian said in shock.

With the judgment of this dean, even if Bi Siqian was added, the presence of Lin Pinggui and Yang Hejiu in that small city should be enough to deal with, and he couldn't understand why He Sanxian chose to show up.

Bi Siqian couldn't figure it out, let alone how to explain it, could it be related to that young man?

No way, it's absolutely impossible. Dean He had been missing for eighteen years, and he had never appeared even when Emperor Zulong was assassinated and died, so how could he risk serious injuries or even fall for the sake of a mere teenager to help him hold on to that mountain?

But since it was said by the old man in front of him, then he had no reason not to believe it. The dean had no reason to lie to himself, he thought he wasn't qualified to do so.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he still thought that there was only one possibility, and the purpose of He San's appearance was because of that young man!

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, who kind of person is that young man, how can he be the only powerhouse in the world of heaven and man realm to do this?

Bi Siqian honestly explained what he had done in the city, he didn't dare to say a word, he seemed to feel that there were a pair of eyes staring at him thousands of miles away, and what was even more terrifying was that he felt that those eyes seemed to be coming to him immediately.

This is the kind of fear that the powerhouses of the Divine Journey Realm give to people.

After hearing this, the old man said lightly: "If you die, you will not be wronged." ”

Bi Siqian left, and his steps were a little unsteady.

Before coming to the Spirit Academy, he thought that even if this dean didn't give himself face, then His Majesty the Emperor could protect his life, and no matter how bad it was, he could leave Beiyang City, but now he found that it was simply wishful thinking!

After Bi Si moved away, the dean sat by the lake and said softly with some regret in his eyes: "What's the use, you have already fallen into the realm, there is no more realm in the world." ”

"Stay safe. The Dean shouted.

"Teacher, you call me?" asked a middle-aged man named Ju An.

"Write to Xiao Jiu, let him get well and prepare to go to Wangshu Tower. ”

The man frowned slightly, "Wangshulou didn't move for hundreds of years, first issued a moon god order, and then entered the building to test, his heart is wrong." That kind of place, for safety reasons, it is better not to let him go. ”

The old man turned around and stared at his student, looking like you are a teacher and I am a teacher, and scolded angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, write!"

"Yes, yes, write right away. The man said with a wry smile.

The middle-aged man put the fingers of his right hand together, waved his sleeve in the air, and at the same time quickly pinched the trick with his left hand, and the whole action was done in one go.

With the flickering of the streamer, a formation formed in the air, and then condensed into an inky black carrier pigeon, flapping its wings and flying into the air, but it instantly turned into nothingness.

......

......

The old man blinked his old eyes and scolded: "How many times have I told you, inject more aura into the talisman so that it can fly higher." ”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "If you go back to the teacher, the talisman is already unstable, and if there is too much aura given in it, it is very easy to hurt people by mistake." ”

The old man suddenly felt that his lips were dry and his mouth was dry, and he looked like he hated iron but not steel, waved his hand and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, let the messenger send it." ”
