Today, the night sky in the Arctic is quite clear, the moon is long, and there is not half a star.

Nan Ling, who slowly opened his eyes, looked at the master standing in front of the cave with his hands in his hands, and his eyes were full of guilt.

He struggled to get up, rolled out of bed, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed desperately: "Master, Nanling is useless, disobeying the master's orders, making a big mistake....... please punish the master severely!"

The master did not turn around.

Nan Ling was flustered, knowing that he must have made an unprecedented mistake this time, and continued to kowtow like garlic: "Master, master is angry, Nan Ling is willing to accept any punishment, as long as the master doesn't drive Nan Ling away!"

"Can you see the swordsmanship that the master taught yesterday?" the master suddenly opened his mouth and asked a little astringently.

"Go back to the master, let's see the meeting. When Nanling is ready, he will show the master the sword dance. Nan Ling replied respectfully.

Halfway through, the master slowly spoke: "It's ...... I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity. ”

Nan Ling was shocked in his heart, with tears in his eyes, and some incoherent: "Master, please punish the master, no matter what kind of punishment Nan Ling will suffer, but don't drive Nan Ling away, don't drive Nan Ling away......."

Nanling kept kowtowing all the time, and there were already some blood stains on the floor.

A large, warm and generous hand lifted him up.

Nan Ling looked up, and the master looked at him kindly.

"Ling'er, how many years have you been with your master?"

Nan Ling replied aggrievedly: "Master, it's been five hundred years. ”

The master smashed his mouth and sighed deeply: "It's time too." ”

When Nan Ling heard this, he was about to kneel down at him again, but the master hurriedly waved his hand to stop Nan Ling and helped him to lie on the bed.

"Being a teacher is not about driving you away. ”

The master helped him cover the quilt and said lovingly.

"Master, Nanling doesn't understand. Nan Ling asked suspiciously.

"Do you remember the Three Realms War that the master told you?"

Nanling remembered. ”

The master's gaze became far-reaching and long: "During the war, in order to save the people of the Three Realms, your master and mother did not hesitate to use her own body as a medium to desperately seal the Demon Bead Shenli, but in the end, she was defeated by Shenli and became a blood slave. ”

The master said this, his face was quite solemn.

"For hundreds of years, I have traveled to many places in the Three Realms, and finally discovered that this cold pool under the iceberg of the Arctic is to bring your master and mother here, in a vain attempt to freeze the blood and fire of the gods with the water of the cold pool, and slow down the erosion. ”

"But, after all, this is a vain attempt. The master paused, his eyes darkened.

"After accepting you as a disciple, your master's seal was corroded by Shenli day and night, and it was already vulnerable. She woke up from her slumber, her temperament changed greatly, and she became more and more tormented as a teacher. The teacher went out to find a way to save him, but not only did he fail to find it, but he also asked the demon to recognize his identity. After the war, the old wounds of the division have not healed. In addition, the master and wife who have taken care of you for nearly a thousand years, an altar of essence blood every seven days, and the cultivation is far from one ten-thousandth of what it was back then, and all the demons joined forces, so I was seriously injured, and I was afraid that I would ......."

Nan Ling's heart sank.

The master looked at him and smiled: "This is a catastrophe for the master." The reincarnation of heaven, everything has an end, the teacher has already seen through life and death, and he should deal with it calmly, and the disciple does not have to be too sad. ”

Nan Ling turned his head and held back his tears.

It turns out that this man who loves him so much has always carried such a heavy burden?

For nearly a thousand years, this lonely man endured endless pain with a remnant body after the Great War, looking for a way out of the sea of suffering for his beloved. In the five hundred years that he has been a master, Nan Ling has never seen him show the slightest weakness.

In his memory, he will always be like a celestial person, an immortal escapes from the dust, stands proudly, and exudes an aura of arrogance over all things!

"Ling'er, we shouldn't be treated like this. ”

After the master finished telling the story, he seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and his tone was very vicissitudes.

"I used to be the supreme existence of the Three Realms, and your master and mother should be the immortal couple who envy the world, and the myths and legends that have been passed down from generation to generation in the Three Realms. ”

"I always think that if it weren't for that big war, your wife and I would have lived a different life. It's been ....... long time since I've seen her smile. The master said bitterly.

At this time, he was just a wounded infatuated person.

The man in front of him had never been so tired in five hundred years, and he had never revealed the slightest thought.

is about to die, he has been strong for so long, after all, he is a little tired.

Nanling didn't dare to think about it.

"However, during this time, I finally got to have an epiphany. I finally understood that the true God, as the Supreme Being, had no connection with the happiness of mortals. ”

The master's vision is very far-reaching, with a resolute desolation.

"Back then, I was stubborn and willful, free and loose like me, and I couldn't stand all kinds of rules in the heavens and the earth, and I categorically refused to inherit the throne of the founding god in front of the heroes of the Three Realms. ”

The master smiled slumpedly.

"At that time, the teacher didn't understand why the founding god set so many rules. It's just that the way is to be a pair of mandarin duck immortals with your wife, live and fly, envy the world, pass through three thousand avenues, fly to the sky and the earth, turn over the clouds and rain, but I don't know that I have a long way to go, and I don't expect the catastrophe to be vast.

Ling'er, as my apprentice, must have the consciousness of self-sacrifice. You will have the mana to look down on the Three Realms, which also means that you are destined to be displaced and give everything you have, even your life, for the people of the Three Realms. Are you ready for this?"

Nan Ling knelt on the bed with tears in his eyes and kowtowed fiercely to his master: "A teacher for one day, a father for life." Nanling will always remember the teachings of his master!"

The master's eyes are bright, the expression on his face is as secretive as deep, and the eyebrows are innate, and only the supreme strong will have pride:

"Nanling my disciple, you must remember that you are the only personal disciple of Lu Quan, the fourth apostle of the founding god, and since you entered my sect, you are the first-class existence of these three realms, whether it is immortals, demons, or humans, they are all under you.

The exercise I have taught you, "Pure Soul and Empty Enlightenment", is a collection of the four major formulas of "Purification, Spirit, Emptiness, and Clarity" practiced by each of our "Four Apostles of Chaos", and is the originator and origin of all the practices in the world today. It was precisely because I could understand the four characters that the founding god decided to pass it on to me.

Although I refuse to inherit the throne, I am the only heir. And you, as the new inheritor, will guard the fragments of the artifact of creation and transformation, and protect the peace and stability of the Three Realms!"

Nan Ling's heart was surging, and a stream of blood was stirring: "Nan Ling strictly obeys the master's teachings, and will do his best to protect the fragments of the artifact of creation, protect the peace of the Three Realms, and not dishonor the master's life, and break his bones, and he will not give up!"

The master touched Nan Ling's head with great satisfaction: "You have the four characters to decide, and in this world, the fragments of the creation artifact will only be used by you alone." In the hands of others, it is simply impossible to exert its true strength. ”

"Where do you know where the fragments of the artifact of creation ....... master?" asked Nan Ling curiously.

Lu Jian stood up and walked to the front of the cave: "It was precisely because I broke the artifact of creation that I was a teacher back then, and I was hit by the violent divine power in the artifact, leaving permanent internal injuries. The artifact of creation turned into several meteors and flew in all directions, and the specific location was unknown. ”

"Ling'er, now that you know the ins and outs of everything, there's one thing, it's time to hand it over to you. ”

"Master, what is it?"

The master was silent for a while, and said, "After ten days, when you are well raised, I will give it to you as a teacher." ”

Ten days later.......

Nan Ling looked at the star bucket outside, and silently counted the days, ten days later, it was the day to worship the jade altar.
