Nanling has always listened to his master.

Therefore, in the ten years since the master left, he dug out a jade altar in the side room of the master's cave every seven days according to his instructions, and dived into the ice crystal forest under the water with the jade altar in the third watch, and offered the jade altar in front of his wife.

In the past ten years, every seven days, when Nanling went to deliver the jade altar, he would find that the jade altar sent last time had been broken into several pieces and scattered all over the ground.

Over time, the place where Nanling worshiped the jade altar seemed to have been infiltrated by something, and the color was quite dark.

Is there a ....... in the jar?

Nanling guessed more than once.

Before I knew it, another few days had passed, and it was already a full month before the master returned to the North Pole.

During this time, the master went out early and returned late every day, and disappeared, which was very mysterious.

As usual, Nan Ling practiced the exercises every day, cleaned the cave house, prepared meals, and of course, the work of sending offerings had been returned to the master.

It's just that every time I wait until the food is cold, I don't see the master come to eat.

Early one morning, when Nan Ling prepared breakfast as usual and delivered it to the door of the master's cave, he heard a painful and forbearant groan from the cave.

Nan Ling was very puzzled, guessing that it might be the master who had a nightmare, so he put down the food in his hand and tiptoed in.

I don't know that in the huge cave, I don't see the master at all.

Bursts of muttered pains floated out of the side room, Nan Ling's heart sank, flashed to the side, and approached gently, and the next scene made his hair explode:

The master with his hair was all slumped on the ground weakly, and a knife with a cold light was thrown beside him.

A small wisp of red blood like a clear spring flowed out from the wound on the master's wrist and gathered into the white jade altar under him, like thick ink drops on rice paper, bright and sparkling, forming a sharp contrast.

Nan Ling was heartbroken, and knelt on the ground with a thud, his voice slightly choked: "Master........"

The master turned his head suddenly, the corners of his mouth withered, and a trace of panic flashed on his pale face.

His slender body was slightly thin, and his dark robe had a few bits of blood dripping from it, and it had turned a dry black.

The heroic and majestic figure of the past is gone.

Nan Ling asked himself, why didn't he find out earlier? If he had been careful, he wouldn't have found out now.......

On that day, the master did not explain to him why he did this.

He just told Nan Ling to practice the exercises well, and nothing else was allowed to interfere.

But the result of the matter always made Nanling's heart ache.

After the master came back, he became too weak for some reason, and because of the accumulation of injuries and illnesses for a long time, he had to be bled every seven days, and finally one day he couldn't support it and fainted on the ground.

Nan Ling took good care of his master, and with the master's consent, he took the place of his master and started the work of offering blood to the jade altar.

At first, Nanling also felt very weird.

Although he didn't understand why he did this, Nanling was willing to give his life for the sake of his master and wife.

What he didn't know, however, was that his fate had been quietly changed when he made this decision.

A few days later.

Today is the day when Nanling worships the jade altar, but he forgot about it.

This can't be blamed on Nan Ling, after the master fell, all the big and small things in the cave fell on him, cleaning, laundry, cooking, taking care of the ice cave, taking care of the master, plus bleeding once a week, Nan Ling was really tired, and his face was a lot paler.

In the afternoon, after serving the master and using the medicinal food, Nan Ling, who was dizzy, was so tired that he fell asleep holding the jade altar that had just been filled with blood.

In the long dream, Nan Ling dreamed of many messy and meaningless things, and after waking up quietly, he suddenly felt refreshed and his head was much lighter.

Nan Ling exhaled and stood up, moving his muscles and bones, and then found the thing that made his scalp blow up - the jade altar under his feet was still obediently placed in place, not sent to the ice crystal forest.

Nan Ling hurriedly ran out of the cave to take a look, and according to the position of the stars, he judged that it was already the fourth watch.

"After the third watch, before the fifth watch, don't go to the Ice Crystal Forest, remember, remember!"

The master's words were recalled in Nan Ling's ears.

But today is the day to worship the jade altar, and the master is bedridden, what should I do?

For hundreds of years, this jade altar has never been broken.

It's already the early morning of the eighth day, and I'm afraid that if it's a little delay, it will ruin the master's hundred years of hard work!

Now that everything in this ice cave is all dependent on him, if something goes wrong at this juncture, how can he explain it to his old man?

However, if you ignore the master's warning, you will definitely be scolded again........

After struggling for a while, he finally picked up the jade altar and rushed towards the cold pool.

Nan Ling was anxious, and there was wind under his feet.

He held the heavy jade altar and plunged into the cold pool from the top of the cliff. The slender body dragged a long white splash tail under the water, and a moment later it reached the Ice Crystal Forest.

At the bottom of the eternal cold pool, the Ice Crystal Forest is no different from the past.

Nan Ling held his breath and was worried, carefully observing the surroundings, and after discovering that there was something unusual, he swam towards the center of the ice crystal forest step by step.

In the heart of the forest, under the giant ice trees. Everything seems to be so normal that it couldn't be more normal.

He placed the jade altar as usual, cleaned up the fragments of the jade altar he had enshrined seven days ago, and made a series in the direction of the giant tree slightly, and then planned to return.

"Nanling ......."

A soft laugh rang out coldly, keeping him in his tracks.

It is a soft female voice, dreamlike and ethereal.

The vast forest of ice crystals is silent.

"Nanling ......."

The voice floated from under the giant tree of ice crystals.

Nan Ling was shocked. Don't........

Looking up suddenly, Nan Ling suddenly found that the master who was sleeping under the giant tree with her eyes closed had opened her eyes and was looking at herself with a mysterious smile!

The master's beautiful eyes were eerily red, and the Shenli Demon Bead in front of her forehead was shining with dazzling scarlet light, and Nanling instinctively felt creepy.

But the smile of the master was very gentle, and her voice was full of strange seduction: "Nan Ling...... Come here...... Come here....."

"Master's ...... Is that you......" Nanling was puzzled.

"Nanling, it's me...... Good Ling'er, come here, let my wife take a good look at you......"

Nan Ling's feet moved forward uncontrollably.

In a trance, he felt very relieved and comfortable.

"My good Ling'er...... My wife misses you every day......." The senior lady under the ice crystal giant tree has a kind face and a warm smile.

Those blood-red eyes seemed to be as mysterious as a bottomless pit.

"Master, you finally woke up, do you know that the master misses you every day..... him-" Nan Ling choked and threw herself into her arms.

Mrs. gently patted him on the back: "Mrs. knows, Mrs. knows......"

Under the gentle care of his wife, Nanling told about the recent situation between himself and his master.

What he didn't know was that a strange light flashed from his mother's blood-red eyes, and she unconsciously increased the strength in her hand.

Nan Ling was in pain, and wanted to struggle but couldn't move: "Master, you are—" Before the words fell, Nan Ling saw that Master's face had already turned into a hideous and terrifying appearance, her blood-red eyes exuded an excited and weird terrifying light, and her mouth muttered frantically: "Blood...... What fresh blood!"
