When Lu Ping'an was about to leave the Cloud Sword Gate, Zhu Xian taught him swordsmanship, also gave him a few sealing magic weapons, and talked to him a lot, including some things about Nie Guan.

But in fact, even Zhu Xian didn't have too deep a deep understanding of Nie Guan, and Lu Ping'an could know even less.

Nie Guan's identity is very simple, he is the old-timer of Yunjian Sect and the senior brother of Yan Laoba.

He has never held any position in the sect, nor does he have any resounding titles, not because of his mediocre talent and strength, but because of his low-key personality, and later even chose to practice in seclusion.

According to Zhu Xian, Nie Guan's cultivation endowment is on par with Yan Laoba.

But because of the different paths taken, Yan Laoba was very famous back then, but Nie Guan was little known.

In the past, Nie Guan had been practicing and traveling in the Eastern Continent, but since more than a hundred years ago, after he entered the snow field, it seems that he has never gone out again.

As for the reason, even Zhu Xian didn't know, and could only guess that maybe it was related to cultivation, or that he had already been to many famous places in the Eastern Continent, so it was not surprising that he wanted to change to a place with freshness and mystery to cultivate.

And Zhu Xian told Lu Ping'an these things, not that no one planned to let him do anything, but simply let him know about it, lest the two of them really met in the snow field, but they didn't know each other.

On the way to Silent City, Lu Ping'an and Nie Guan chatted a lot.

And when he learned about Yan Laoba's situation, Nie Guan couldn't help but sigh: "That guy's life can be regarded as having experienced ups and downs, and now it is a good thing to be able to live the life he wants." But with his character, he actually accepted apprentices, which still surprised me a little. ”

Lu Ping'an smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, my master is quite good at teaching people, but in the past, he may just be too troublesome to accept it." ”

Nie Guan said: "Well, your master is a very capable person, as long as he is willing to do it with his heart, there is almost nothing that cannot be done, you are his apprentice, presumably it is not far behind, and there may even be better than blue." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "Uncle Shi, you have won the award." ”

Nie Guan said: "Although I don't know much about you, but you are young, and you have the courage and ability to go to the depths of the snow field, which shows that you are not an ordinary person, and when you faced the three thousand snow armor army before, you were not timid, as if you still wanted to fight them to the death?"

Lu Ping'an said: "I just know that if I am really arrested by them, the end will only be worse, and in that case, I can only resist." ”

Nie Guan said: "If you are someone else, you may only want to obey, or kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, if you dare to resist, it is already quite rare and valuable, and you are worthy of being Yan Shiba's apprentice." But what do you young people want to do when you come to Xueyuan?

Lu Ping'an said: "Uncle Shi, you have been in the snow field for at least a hundred years, right?"

Nie Guan said: "That's right, it's been more than a hundred years. ”

Hearing this, Zhuang Qingxi and the others understood that it was no wonder that Nie Guan was able to be so harmonious with the heaven and earth aura of this snow field, it turned out that it was because he had cultivated here for so long.

Lu Ping'an continued: "Do you know that in recent years, the beast tides that have erupted from the snow field to the Eastern Continent have become more and more frequent?"

Nie Guan said: "I usually walk and cultivate in the depths of the snow field, and I don't know much about the situation near the Eastern Continent, but I have indeed heard people talk about similar things. So, that's why you got into the snowfield?"

Lu Ping'an nodded and said, "Well, the royal families of the four major powers and the high-level leaders of the major sects all feel that this matter is a little wrong, and they are worried that a larger-scale beast tide will break out in the future, causing serious harm to the Eastern Continent, so they sent us young monks to investigate the situation." ”

Nie Guan said: "I don't know what the truth is, but in my opinion, those beast tides should be related to Bai Zeguo." ”

Lu Ping'an and Zhuang Qingxi were stunned when they heard this, but unexpectedly, Nie Guan's judgment was exactly the same as they thought.

But the difference is that even if Nie Guan didn't investigate this matter in depth, his understanding of Xueyuan must be above Lu Ping'an's others.

Since even he said so, it means that it is very likely that they have guessed this matter.

Lu Ping'an's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "We think the same way, so we are ready to investigate in this direction." ”

Nie Guan said: "But you should know very well that if you want to investigate Bai Zeguo, you may need to face the Snow Armor Army and the Snow King, which is much more dangerous than the situation you encountered just now." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "We all understand these and are mentally prepared, but even if there is a great danger, we must try to complete this matter, of course, when making plans and actions, we will be more cautious and try to avoid today's situation." ”

Nie Guan smiled with relief: "Well, the future is terrifying, then I hope you can succeed as you wish." ”

Lu Ping'an hesitated for a moment and asked, "Uncle Nie, I dare to ask, you have been in the snow field for so long, do you have any other purpose besides cultivation?"

People in the snow field, especially those who have reached the level of Nie Guan, will always be unable to avoid Bai Zeguo.

Therefore, Lu Ping'an thought that if Nie Guan also had a purpose in this regard, maybe the two sides would be able to reach cooperation.

Of course, Lu Ping'an also knew that judging from the difference in strength between the two sides, they really wanted to cooperate, and it was Nie Guan who helped Lu Ping'an and them more.

But in the grand scheme of things, this is also to complete the task, in order to resolve the major crises that may occur, and with the help of a strong person, the chances of success will naturally be greater.

The most important thing is that the Eastern Continent is not without top powerhouses, but now that they have entered the snow field, it is very likely that they will be noticed by the Snow King.

And Nie Guan waited in the snow field for a long time, but he was unharmed, which shows that either it is difficult for the Snow King to discover his existence, or even the Snow King cannot easily kill him.

Because of this, Nie Guan can be regarded as the top powerhouse who has the most opportunity and ability to help Lu Ping'an.

Nie Guan said: "Yes, and it is also related to Bai Zeguo. ”

Lu Ping'an and Zhuang Qingxi glanced at each other, both smiling.

However, before they could ask for help, Nie Guan said, "I know what you want to say, but I'm sorry, for hundreds of years, I've been used to being alone, and I don't like to act with others. ”

Hearing this, Lu Ping'an and the others were a little disappointed, but they could fully understand Nie Guan's approach, and they had no way to force anything.

Immediately, Nie Guan said, "However, if I find out anything about the beast tide later, I can inform you." ”

Lu Ping'an smiled: "Okay, then it's troublesome for you!"

Then, Nie Guan gave Lu Ping'an a magic weapon for sound transmission.

Although this is not a direct help, it is better than nothing after all, and with Nie Guan's strength, it is more likely to detect Bai Zeguo's affairs.

A few people said as they walked, the road was calm, and they were getting closer and closer to the city.

After a long while, Qin Sanchuan suddenly asked Nie Guan, "Senior, I also have a question I want to ask you." ”

Nie Guan said: "Ask." ”

Qin Sanchuan said, "You should have heard about the Immortal King Kong, right?"

Nie Guan was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course I've heard of it, what's the matter?"

Qin Sanchuan said: "Elder in the Lower King Kong Gate, Qin Sanchuan." Although I have not seen the Immortal King Kong, according to the seniority of the master, he is my ancestor. ”

Nie Guan said: "I see, then do you want to ask, is he still alive?"

Qin Sanchuan nodded heavily, and said expectantly: "That's right! Junior, senior, you have been in the snow field for so long, you probably know something, so I want to ask you!"

Nie Guan said: "I can only tell you that he is very likely to be alive, but I don't know the specific situation." ”

Qin Sanchuan was shocked, although this was not an exact answer, there was no doubt that this sentence had added a lot of confidence to him.

"Thank you, senior! Do you know anything else about Immortal King Kong?"

Nie Guan smiled bitterly: "I won't tell you, the purpose I just said about Bai Zeguo is to find him." ”

Qin Sanchuan, Lu Ping'an and the others were all surprised, but Qin Sanchuan still asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Nie Guan said: "Because he is one of the few good friends I have, I have to stop him from doing that." ”

Everyone was shocked again, but they didn't expect Nie Guan, who was practicing in seclusion, to be good friends with Immortal King Kong.

Qin Sanchuan frowned slightly, and said, "Could it be ...... You're going to stop him from killing the Snow King?"

Nie Guan shook his head and said, "It's not that simple, his ambition is much greater than you think. ”

Qin Sanchuan was deeply puzzled and said, "What else does he want to do besides killing the Snow King?"

Nie Guan said: "Don't say it, you can't say it, it's his secret, as a friend, I can't tell anyone privately, even if you are his junior." ”

Qin Sanchuan said: "Okay, since it's a secret that can't be said, then I won't ask more." But listen to you, he's in the country of Bai Ze now, right?"

Nie Guan said: "Nine times out of ten, this is the case, but in fact, I don't recommend that you go to him, because it will only be more dangerous than you investigating the truth of the beast tide, of course, if you have to do that, I won't stop you." ”

The implication of this is that even if the two of them have the same goal and are looking for the same person, Nie Guan still won't act with Qin Sanchuan, and he doesn't even want him to do it.

Qin Sanchuan was silent for a while, and said in a firm tone: "Thank you seniors for reminding me! But I will never give up easily!"

Nie Guan was stunned, his eyes swept over Qin Sanchuan, Lu Ping'an and the others, and said, "You guys are really a group of young people who are not afraid of death!"
