"Boom!"

As soon as the knife master finished speaking, the "stars" that were falling rapidly from the sky had already broken through the wind and fell! I saw the sound of a "bang" crashing, and it was really like a meteorite falling to the ground, and it shook the top of Wentian's mountain.

Of course, that's just an image.

What fell was not really an extraterrestrial star, but two people, rather one carrying the other. The person who carried the person was the dean of Tianshu who jumped to the sky from the Yingshui River in the north of the city not long ago, and the person who was carried could only be Zhou Yuanshan, who was almost divided by five horses. His injuries were too serious, and the wound that Li Qingfeng bandaged him could not effectively stop the bleeding, and the scarlet blood was oozing from the strip of cloth, and it had already stained the half-body Dao robe of the Heavenly Shu Dean.

Looking at the two of Cao Pavilion Master and Sword Master, Dean Tianshu eagerly shouted, "Save people!"

Pavilion Master Cao didn't say much, didn't even give a look of instruction, turned around and strode back to the small bamboo house. And the knife master looked at Zhou Yuanshan, who was being carried by Dean Tianshu, and then his face changed and he smiled, and teased: "Hello, this bull's nose has a creation, and it can still hold its breath when it is torn by someone as a horse, not bad." Come on, wait for you two for a long time. ”

As he spoke, the knife master also turned around and walked into the small bamboo house with the hind feet of the master of Cao Ge.

Dean Tianshu didn't have much contact with Wen Tiange, and he didn't know much with Cao Pavilion Master and Sword Master, so he didn't see much of the wrongness between these two senior brothers. didn't think much about it, followed the knife master to carry Zhou Yuanshan on his hind feet, and Dean Tianshu also walked into the small bamboo house.

"Chirp..."

Small bamboo house, inside the study.

The smoke is green, and the candles are bright. The moonlight is in the curtain, hazy.

The sound of wood grinding sounded very regularly, and the bitterness of green herbs soaked the fresh smell of the place. The old man hadn't fallen asleep yet, and he seemed to have expected the wounded to come tonight, so he sat down at his desk early and studied the medicine carefully. His eyes full of wisdom could not stand the passage of time, and they were wrinkled and a little wooden, as if he was troubled by something, and he was very engrossed in his thoughts. He was so engrossed that even the medicine pestle he was holding had been deeply imprinted by him, without realizing it. It's hard to imagine that this wise and inquisitive old man will be like an ordinary old man, and there are times when he is troubled by trivial matters and hesitates.

"Da-da-da-da. ”

"Ira..."

With the sound of several footsteps, the hidden door was pushed open...

"Sir..."

The first to enter the house was the Cao Pavilion Master, who bowed slightly towards the old man and bowed: "They are here." ”

The old man slowly came back to his senses from his deep contemplation, he first looked at the Cao Pavilion Master, then looked deeply at the sword master behind the Cao Pavilion Lord, and finally put his eyes on the Tianshu Dean behind the two of them and Zhou Yuanshan who he was carrying. nodded, pointed to the small bamboo bed next to him and said, "Put him there." ”

"Yes. ”

Dean Tianshu hurriedly responded, carried Zhou Yuanshan and strode past the two sword masters, walked to the side of the bamboo bed, and put Zhou Yuanshan down lightly. Then, he turned around and hugged his fists and respectfully bowed to the old man, and said: "I have seen the wise master, and the junior knows that it is really abrupt to come here tonight, but the matter is urgent, and I also ask the wise master to save the life of Yuanshan by seeing the love of the pure yang sword in the past." ”

"Yes. ”

It seems that the rude Dean of Tianshu on the surface still has some courtesy on the inside, at least at such a critical time, he still knows how to say such a paragraph to his elders that is neither humble nor arrogant, and the personal cultivation in this is not something that ordinary reckless and rough people can have. The old man didn't feel much about this, but nodded rationally, and the medicine pestle in his hand was not put down, and he was still grinding the medicine foam unhurriedly, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he didn't plan to do something.

Seeing this, Dean Tianshu was a little anxious, put his fist on his fist, and said with a sincere expression: "Wise Master, Yuanshan is seriously injured, I'm afraid I can't drag it out." ”

"I know. ”

The old man still responded slowly, and there was no other action.

It's just that his reaction made people confused. The master of the Cao Pavilion and the sword master glanced at each other a little inexplicably, obviously, they didn't know what medicine was in their husband's gourd. And Dean Tianshu is even worse, the upbringing he showed before was originally a fake skin for him, if it weren't for the fact that the old man in front of him really couldn't be provoked, he wouldn't have disdained it at all, and now that the old man came to see him like this, how could he still live with the anger in his bones? Dean Tianshu frowned, suppressed his anger with the last reason, and asked cautiously, "Then what are you waiting for?"

"Dah. ”

Faced with Dean Tianshu's rather rude questioning, the old man finally put down the medicine pestle in his hand. Looking at Dean Tianshu with a side face, he smiled slightly, and said heavily, "I'm waiting for someone." ”

"Wait for someone?"

“......”

Inexplicably is even more inexplicable.

Master Cao Ge and Master Dao actually knew that their husband was indeed waiting for someone tonight, because the reason why the two of them chose to watch the Yingshui Opera from afar in front of the bamboo house was arranged by the old man. But isn't the man he was waiting for already here?

"Who are you waiting for, and when is he coming?"

Dean Tianshu still couldn't hold back, and continued to ask rudely about the past. The old man didn't rush to answer, he glanced all the way from Dean Tianshu's face to the contact between his feet and the ground, and said flatly, "He has already come." ”

"Huh?"

The old man said that, everyone was stunned!

An ominous premonition then surged into my heart.

At this moment, the figure at the feet of the Tianshu Dean could be seen by the old man's sight, and for such a visual action, whether it was the Sword Master, the Cao Pavilion Master, or the Tianshu Dean, they were all very familiar with it, because on the Yingshui River not long ago, those twelve terrifying King Realm killers came out of the shadows!

And now, the old man's demeanor was undoubtedly telling them that there was a person hidden in this shadow at the feet of Dean Tianshu. And it is likely to be a more terrifying figure than the previous twelve King Realm killers, because the person the old family is really waiting for tonight is not Zhou Yuanshan, but him!

"Whew..."

Frightened, flustered.

A cold night breeze suddenly blew into the study from outside the house, as if someone had come to wield the only candle in the room with a handful of sleeves. The lights went out, and the bright study suddenly became pitch black, but no one exclaimed, and no one was unusual, because the surprised people were no longer startled, and the unsurprised old man knew everything well.

Just the moment the candle lights went out, time stopped.

It really stopped.

Time and space are truly still at this moment...

The dust floating in the air, the smoke of the candle extinguishing condensed in the void, the blood seeping from Zhou Yuanshan, the smell of medicinal powder diffuse, everything here became an extremely realistic picture at this moment, and it didn't move. People are the same, the three of Cao Pavilion Master, Sword Master, and Dean Tianshu all stared at the figure under their feet with a look of great fear, without any movement or language, and even the most basic breathing stopped.

Strange and mysterious, everything is silent!

Someone is coming...

It was an indisputable fact, and he even had the plane frozen in the moment before he arrived, as if to keep it from anyone else discovering anything.

Time is the first law between heaven and earth, space is the basis of the existence of all things, no one can play with them, not even immortals. However, there are no absolutes in everything, like a certain Heaven and Earth Creator in the Western Regions, he can become a heaven and earth of his own, control a time and space, and in that time and space, he is the master of everything. Coincidentally, many years ago, there were rumors in the world that such a secret technique was inherited on the edge of the Nanming world, although it was not as powerful as the boundless power of the Heaven and Earth Creator in the Western Regions, but those who cultivated to the end could also ignore a corner of the Heaven and Earth Domination, divide the connection between Heaven and Earth and time and space in a short period of time, and stand on their own. Obviously, the person who has made such a strange movement before he even shows up is likely to have mastered this unparalleled secret art! It's just that his cultivation should be far from that of the creator in the Western Regions...

Because, at this time, there is still one person who can move, and that is the old man who has ascended to the heavens and become holy.

Although he didn't move, he didn't need to move, or rather, because he was familiar with the person who made this corner of the space still, and he had already guessed the purpose of this person's coming, so he didn't need to worry about his own safety, at least tonight.

"Whew..."

The wind passed and drifted away.

Time stands still, the old man is profound, and the shadow that the four of them can see here...

It was like a monster in hell, crawling up the rock wall of the abyss, and slowly stood up from the ground silently! This shadow was completely different from the twelve killers who appeared on the Yingshui River before, at least they were different in form, it was a shadow in the true sense. It is as black as ink, with the rudimentary shape of a body with limbs and no specific facial features, it seems to be tangible and real, but it seems to be ethereal, giving people the impression that he is like a phantom formed by the convergence of countless energies, gathering and scattering like smoke, rather than a real person!

"Senior brother, don't come unharmed. ”

The gloomy voice is ethereal, like a poisonous snake spitting out in the silence of the night, and you can only hear it faintly but you don't know where it is speaking. It's as if it comes from outside the space where everything is silent, and there is not the slightest trace.

"Yes. ”

The old man didn't even nod his head, but just replied indifferently, and then he picked up the pestle again, and ground the foam on the desk again. Some rude, some boring, as if in silence the contempt for this presumptuous comer. Since this strange shadow has no facial features, I really can't see his attitude towards the old man's reaction, but I think he shouldn't care, because the breath here is still as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.

"You knew I was going to be here tonight?"

"What do you say?"

"I said yes. ”

The gloomy voice said without much emotion. A word of affirmation, without delay, the shadow slowed down and said: "Before I came here, I still suspected that what Xia Yuan said on the Yingshui River was planned and arranged by you, it seems that I was wrong." ”

The old man smiled flatly: "Then you can afford me." ”

"You don't have to look at me, you have what you can do. ”

The gloomy voice still has no emotion, and even the yin and yang frustrations between the words are not there, as if a child is reciting words, dry and tasteless: "Penglai is employed, the immortals teach grammar and Taoism, Li Chunfeng has a strategy, and he plans the world." Yuan Tiangang realized that he was a heavenly machine. Xia Yin conspires and seeks people's hearts. You are the only one who chooses the wisdom of inaction, and you know yourself. And the facts have also proved that your choice is undoubtedly the most correct, in the past 100 years of world disputes, the three of them are deeply involved, only you can calmly advance and retreat, and be alone. ”

The old man paused for the medicine pestle in his hand, and then he looked at the shadow with a somewhat surprised face: "It turns out that you also talk a lot." ”

"It's a weekday when no one can talk to. ”

"Then you've found the wrong person today. ”

The old man's tone of conversation turned back to the topic: "If I can really advance and retreat calmly as you say, then I can't be here tonight to talk to you." Saints... A saint is also a human being, and if he is a human being, he has seven emotions and six desires, who has not been in a dilemma?"

"Not exactly. ”

The shadow said: "Ask the heavens and the holy land of the writers, those who have been in power throughout the ages have only dared to write and not to ban them. It's the same nowadays, it's just a matter of a thought to get out of the game. If you can come in, you will be able to go out, and there is no one in the world to stop you. ”

The old man smiled meaningfully and said, "So, you're helping someone to persuade me tonight?"

"Nope. ”

The shadow simply denied it, and then said: "Since you have chosen to enter the game, it must be that your mind has been decided, and no one can move you anymore." Even if the chess piece that the ghost plot fell in, he can only shake your emotions at most, so I don't plan to make you change anything tonight. ”

"Oh?"

"I'm not here to be a lobbyist, so what are you doing here?"

"Confirm one thing, ask two questions, and I'll leave when I'm done. ”

The old man asked directly, and the shadow's answer was also very direct, as if neither of them had thought of hiding any purpose from the other. The old man is even more direct, and there is no intention of wasting time in beating around the bush. He nodded heavily, looked at Zhou Yuanshan lying on the bamboo bed, and said, "You ask." ”

"Are you sure that Prince Kang is dead?" asked Shadow immediately.

"What do you say?"

The old man seemed to have guessed that the shadow would have this question, and asked three words, and said lightly: "If he didn't die back then, there would never be peace in the world." And with Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang by his side, he will definitely die. ”

"Then what do you mean by what Xia Yuan said on Yingshui?" asked Shadow.

The old man looked at the shadow playfully: "You seem to have asked the wrong person this question, right? I can only say that his words must be true, otherwise Lao Yin will become unknown when he moves his army south, and you should understand this truth. ”

"What about Xia Yin's grandson?"

Before the old man finished speaking, the shadow spoke, but he seemed to feel that the question was asked abruptly, he paused for a moment and added: "Since you are sure that Prince Kang is dead, but Xia Yin still has the name of being a teacher, the only possibility is that you and Xia Yin left a bloodline for Prince Kang back then." That bloodline is Xia Yin's grandson - Xia Xun. Right?"

"Hehe..."

The old man smiled noncommittally: "You still asked the wrong person." Lao Yin has the right to speak on this question, but according to the calculation of time, if Lao Yin and I really kept a bloodline for Prince Kang back then, then this bloodline must be at least twenty years old so far, how can it be Xia Xun? You should also understand this truth. ”

Shadow shook his head, "I didn't ask the wrong person, because you saw it." Although it has been 20 years, it is not difficult to steal the age of a chess piece with the means of you and Xia Yin. And he chose to drop this chess piece to Yueyang openly at this time node, which will inevitably have his intentions. And now, you've seen this chess piece, so the person I should ask is indeed you. ”

The old man was silent for a moment, as if weighing the meaning of the shadow words, and then asked, "Then what do you want to ask?"

"What did you see when you healed him years ago?"

“......”
