Looking at the scene in the courtyard, Qingbai suddenly had a sense of confusion about time.

If he remembered correctly, Zhao Xinyan told him that he should have been cultivating for more than three months this time.

Cultivating directly from midsummer to Jiqiu, that is, in late autumn.

But looking at the situation in the courtyard, Qingbai felt that Zhao Xinyan might have confused the moon and the year, and in this case, he was afraid that he had been practicing for a few years.

The yard was full of fallen leaves, and of course, if it was all there was, Qingbai would not feel like a few years had passed.

On the door frame of the yard, there are already spiders weaving webs on it, and the stone pillars used for lighting in the yard are also covered with spider webs. And now it's covered with cobwebs, so you can imagine how long this pillar hasn't been used.

And on the stone table in the courtyard, there is already a layer of dust covering it, and in the moonlight, the table top, which would have been reflective, has been blocked by dust at this time.

However, there is also a small area in the courtyard that is relatively clean, but looking at the broom thrown on the ground, it should be that he just picked up the broom and was ready to clean the yard, and he was too lazy to clean it, so he threw it directly on the ground.

Qingbai looked at the situation in the courtyard and did not make any suggestions, but silently turned his head to look at Zhao Xinyan.

Sure enough, looking at the courtyard in front of her, Zhao Xinyan's face was inevitably a little unpleasant.

"Xiaobai, you stand back. ”

Zhao Xinyan turned her head to look at Qingbai and said.

Qingbai saw that Zhao Xinyan gave people a feeling of forbearance, and felt that Zhao Xinyan seemed to be ready to directly dismantle the house, although at the beginning he also wanted to see how Qing Changshan explained to Zhao Xinyan, but in case Zhao Xinyan directly demolished the house, it would not be fun.

"Mother, why don't I clean it up, you just wait here for a while, and it'll be fine for a while. ”

Qingbai grabbed Zhao Xinyan's arm and said nervously.

Use spiritual power when cleaning, to be honest, it really doesn't take long to clean a yard.

"It's okay, I'll just clean it up. ”

Zhao Xinyan rejected Qingbai's request, and said lightly.

"Mother, you can't just tear down the house, it's just a little dirty, if you tear it down directly, we can only go to someone else's house to spend the night. ”

Qingbai still couldn't help but remind.

Hearing Qingbai's words, Zhao Xinyan was speechless.

"When did I say I was going to tear it down? I'm just going to clean it, why are you so nervous?"

Zhao Xinyan explained to Qingbai helplessly.

Qingbai heard Zhao Xinyan's explanation, and as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Zhao Xinyan's voice turn and say:

"You want me to tear down my house so much, are you going to go directly to Cui Yue's house to spend the night when the time comes? Why, I haven't seen you for a while, and I miss your little Cui Yue again?"

Hearing Zhao Xinyan's teasing, even with a pale cheeky skin, her face couldn't help but turn a little red.

Qingbai puffed up his face, glanced at Zhao Xinyan angrily, and didn't care how Zhao Xinyan was going to clean up the yard next, turned his head and walked to the side and squatted on the ground sulking.

Seeing Qingbai walking aside, Zhao Xinyan smiled, but when Qingbai didn't pay attention to this side, there was a kind of loneliness in Zhao Xinyan's eyes that could not be concealed.

Seeing that Qingbai had no intention of coming back, Zhao Xinyan suddenly began to gather a large number of water droplets in her hand, compared to the gathering of Qingbai's water droplets, Zhao Xinyan's water droplets here converged several times faster.

And under Zhao Xinyan's command, soon, a large stream of water appeared around Zhao Xinyan's body, which was comparable to a small river.

When the size of the river reaches a certain level, it flows through the air like a river circling in the air.

Hearing the movement behind him, Qingbai couldn't help but look back.

Above Zhao Xinyan's head, a river flowed in the air above Zhao Xinyan's head.

When Qingbai looked at this side, he saw Zhao Xinyan wave his palm, and the river directly turned into a huge water curtain covering the entire courtyard.

Then it fell directly from the sky, and the entire yard was submerged in the river.

However, the river did not flow around, as if it was trapped in the yard, circling quickly in the yard, and the leaves and cobwebs in the yard were all swept into the river.

There was even some river water flowing directly into the room, and after a while, after the originally clear river water became turbid, I saw Zhao Xinyan's palm wave again, and the river water that had become turbid rose directly into the sky and flew towards the Tanyun River in the north of the tribe.

And the dust, fallen leaves, and cobwebs in the yard have all disappeared.

And the most amazing thing is that the ground in the courtyard has not become muddy because it has just been washed by the river, and there is not a single drop of water on the ground, the gate or the stone pillars in the yard.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have seen that it had just been flooded by the river.

After the river flew away, Zhao Xinyan pushed the door and walked in, and Qingbai didn't continue to squat there and sulk, so she quickly got up and followed quickly.

"Go back to your room and rest. ”

Zhao Xinyan walked to the stone table alone and sat down, and then said to Qingbai, who was also about to sit down.

Qingbai hesitated, nodded and returned to the room.

The room was exactly the same as when I left, and it was even a lot cleaner.

Qingbai took off his shoes, did not take off his clothes, and lay directly on the bed. However, he didn't fall asleep for the first time, and when he started to move forward in the snow, because it was too cold, he rested for a period of time in cultivation every day, and he didn't sleep well at all.

And then in the process of refining the Nine Heavens Xuan Ice, it took more than three months, and it stands to reason that he should be so sleepy now, and it is normal to fall asleep when he falls into bed, but Qingbai is tossing and turning in bed, and it is difficult to fall asleep.

"Whew. ”

Qingbai suddenly rolled over and got up, sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, looking ahead with blank eyes.

I actually have insomnia!

With a sigh of relief, Qingbai put on his shoes and walked out of the room and into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Zhao Xinyan was still sitting at the stone table, and when she saw Qingbai walking out of the house, Zhao Xinyan pointed to the chair next to her and said:

"Come and sit. ”

Hearing this, Qingbai walked to the stone table and sat down.

"Mother, is there something big going on?"

The two sat silently for a while, and Qingbai couldn't help but speak.

"Why do you say that?"

Zhao Xinyan heard Qingbai's question, turned her head to look at Qingbai's immature face and asked.

"Since I was brought back by Uncle Luo Zhi, I think your attitude towards me has changed a lot. ”

Qingbai explained.

"What's wrong, is it bad for you?"

Zhao Xinyan asked rhetorically.

"It's not that it's bad, it's that since that day, you have been inexplicably stricter with me, although I am also for my good, and it is impossible to harm me, but I always feel that you have something to hide from me. ”

Qingbai quickly shook his head and explained.

"Do you really want to know?"

Zhao Xinyan suddenly approached Qingbai and asked mysteriously.

"Hmm. ”

Qingbai nodded vigorously, and his immature face was full of serious expressions.

Seeing Qingbai nodding, Zhao Xinyan did not speak immediately, but stared at Qingbai's eyes tightly, and after a while, she slowly spoke:

"Five years, it shouldn't be less than five years, there are about four more years left, and in these four years or so, not only you, but all the children in the tribe will increase their cultivation intensity to a greater or lesser extent. ”

"Why, isn't there any danger in the tribe?"

Qingbai asked puzzled when she heard Zhao Xinyan's explanation.

"Haven't you always wanted to see the outside world?"

Zhao Xinyan asked again.

"Hmm. ”

Qingbai nodded.

"You're not the only one who has this idea, not only you, but other children, along with us adults, and some of the elders of higher seniority, have been longing to leave this world one day. ”

"And in four years' time, we're going to have that opportunity. ”

Zhao Xinyan explained.

"Is that world dangerous?"

Qingbai asked.

"Yes, in that world, our biggest enemy is the demons, and if we encounter the demons, we must find a way to kill them. Because most of the demon clan's cultivation methods are to increase their strength by killing people. ”

Zhao Xinyan advised.

"Demons?"

Qingbai repeated it thoughtfully in a low voice, remembering these two words in his heart.

"In addition to the demons, there are also some human races and demon races that also need to be guarded against. ”

"Mother, the demon clan knows that I need to be careful to resist, but why should I ...... the same people?"

Qingbai was a little puzzled when he heard Zhao Xinyan's words, but as soon as the question came out, he understood a little.

People are unpredictable, and no one in the tribe is unfavorable to them, but it doesn't mean that everyone's attitude towards you outside is as harmonious as in the tribe.

"You can't have the heart to harm others, but you can't have the heart to prevent people. Don't take the way of thinking in the tribe to the outside world, where the real world is. ”

Zhao Xinyan saw that Qingbai seemed to understand, but she still emphasized it.

"Mother, won't you go together?"

Zhao Xinyan explained a lot of things to herself before, giving Qingbai a feeling that the two were going to be separated.

"Of course my mother is going too. ”

"But the people who pass through that passage can't carry too much energy each time, and when the time comes, we will divide the children into several groups and send them over, and we will follow later. ”

"That world is too big for us to determine where we teleported, so there's a good chance that everyone will be separated, and you'll need to have enough self-protection in the period before we meet. ”

"Now let you step up your training, so that you can have a better ability to protect yourself in the future, the strength of the people there will not be weaker than us, and there will be danger at any time. ”

Zhao Xinyan explained unhurriedly.

"And how do we join you?"

Qingbai thought about it for a moment and asked the most important question.

"When you get to that world, look for a group of people called the Guardians, or find news of the Guardian lineage, and we will meet there, and if we are not there by then, they will tell you where we are going. ”

Zhao Xinyan explained again.

"Guardians?"

Qingbai is still hearing this name for the first time.

"The Guardians are made up of elders who have left here in the past, and finding them is like finding a tribe in the outside world. ”

Zhao Xinyan added.

"Then why didn't we leave with us?"

Qingbai asked strangely.

"I'll explain to you when the time comes, that world is called the Dome Continent, and you must protect your own safety before finding the Guardian lineage. ”

Zhao Xinyan is still constantly admonishing.

Although Zhao Xinyan said that they would also follow behind, Qingbai always felt a sense of parting from life and death.

With Zhao Xinyan's continuous advice, Qingbai frowned unconsciously.

Seeing Qingbai, he frowned
