The old woman raised the lantern in front of Guan Ren's eyes, smiled and nodded, and motioned for him to lean over to check.

Guan Ren didn't believe it, but it can be seen that the old woman is so frank that she can't help but believe it for a moment or two. He leaned down and looked at the lantern with his eyes, but he didn't know that this seemingly ordinary hexagonal lantern was actually a huge heaven and earth, with the scorching sun and the cold moon hanging together.

The morning glow on the side of the sun wheel is like fire, and the clouds around the bright moon are half covered.

The old woman was expressionless, and said hoarsely: "This time you believe it?"

Guan people are well aware of the truth that seeing is not necessarily believing, and this may not be simple. Just like him, he also created the realm of consciousness with his mental power, the wind blows the branches, the river waves, and it is difficult to argue whether it is true or false in it, but it is not true in the end.

Presumably, the sun and moon in this cage also used the means, so he boldly said: "Is it a trick made by my mother-in-law?"

The old woman leaned over, looked up at the sky, and said to herself, "There is still some time before dawn." ..... That's it, it doesn't hurt to wake up half an hour early today. ”

Guan Ren didn't know what the old woman meant by this, but when he saw that she raised the hexagonal lantern high, and pointed the five fingers of her left hand to the sky, a dry voice sounded: "Come, go home." ”

The Eight Desolation Stars, the Yinhan Tianhe, dimmed in color in an instant, and a brilliant band of light ran through the heavens and the earth, and billions of trillions of stars converged into the lantern picked up by the old woman like a stream of fireflies.

In less than half a moment, Zhou Tian Xingdou had been completely captured, and the dim old lantern was not half bright.

Guan was shocked, and without waiting for the old woman to speak, she had already attached herself to the mouth of the lantern to spy on the clues. A moment ago he was afraid of the old woman, but now he has no scruples.

Take a closer look, only to see that the world inside the lantern is vast, and the glow is dense. The sea of stars is dense but orderly, and they all travel around the sun, especially the Big Dipper.

Guan Ren was still in shock, and he couldn't come back to his senses, and the old woman had already said quietly: "Still don't believe it?"

The person who wanted to speak stopped and could not answer for a while. Most of his heart believed it, but he didn't dare to believe it because what he saw was contrary to common sense.

The old woman smiled: "Did you deliberately not believe it this time, or did you not dare to believe it?"

In an instant, the thoughts turned bright, and the more he thought about it, the more cold he felt down his spine.

This chill is far beyond the fear that arises when I first see the old woman. It was like an old gentleman who was playing tricks, and put a curtain in front of you, and conjured up a girl through the white cloth.

You must be fake, the mechanism is all in that curtain.

Unexpectedly, the old gentleman burned the curtain, and told you to watch a living girl grow out of the yellow earth. Such absurdity is contrary to common sense, and for the officials, it is the collapse of a world.

Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate. The sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and the moon are shining, which is the principle of heaven and earth. Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law of the Tao, and the Tao is the law of nature, so it is the rule.

But according to what I saw in front of me, the sun, moon and stars in the eight desolations were actually following an old woman in her last years. When you want to collect it, you can collect it, and when you want to put it, you can put it. Wouldn't the world have been subverted? The ancient sages, who studied the truth of heaven and earth, wrote books and scriptures to educate the people, but in the end they became 'wells and frogs and a sea of words', all of which are fallacies?

Guan Ren was full of distracting thoughts for a while, until he thought of a certain possibility, he couldn't help but shiver a few times all over, only to feel extremely cold all over his body, as if he had lost his yang energy, he said: "Since my mother-in-law can control the sun, moon and stars at will, isn't the whole world a world of mother-in-law......'s thoughts?"

Halfway through the conversation, Guan Ren didn't dare to say any more, so he looked at the old woman in a daze, waiting for him to give an answer.

The old woman wrinkled, revealing a miserable smile, and said in a hoarse voice: "How can a concubine have such a great ability?

Guan Ren's heart slowed down a little when he heard this. In this way, the old woman in front of her is also ordered by someone, but I don't know if that 'person' has a physical image, or is it just an ethereal number of days?

If it's ethereal, it's fine. But if it is a living being with a physical and an image, it is too sensational.

Guan Ren asked: "I once read in the book "Lao Tzu" that people obey the orders of the earth, the earth obeys the orders of the sky, the heavens obey the Tao, and the Tao obeys their own orders. The old woman said that taking care of the time for others, isn't that person the way of heaven?"

After Guan Ren asked this, he stared at the old woman for a moment.

The old woman didn't respond, but he saw a hint from the old face like dead bark, the person this old woman obeyed was definitely not an ethereal way of heaven.

That's ...... The soul of the soul shuddered.

The old woman said unhurriedly: "The concubine is going to the scorching land of the East China Sea to exile the sun, do you want to go with the concubine to take a look?"

Guan Ren thought about it for a while, but shook his head and refused. The old woman had deliberately invited him to go with her, which showed that she was open-minded, and she would not at most deceive him with tricks.

The old woman stood at the head of the boat with a lamp, the river was rippling, and the two miserable fishing fires were reflected on the river waves. The old woman was about to rush to the East China Sea by boat, and said goodbye at the moment: "Little gentleman, take care of yourself! Don't talk about today's events to outsiders, and we'll see you in the future." ”

As he spoke, Guan Ren's body slowly rose from the air, and the remnant sword that had been silent for a long time suddenly flew to Guan Ren's feet, holding it steadily.

Bai Zhou swung out of the distance, and Guan Ren hurriedly said: "Old woman, I still have something to ask." ”

The bone boat was far away, and it disappeared into the vast smoke in an instant, and a hoarse voice came from the depths of the mist: "Sir should not know too much at the moment, if you have any doubts, you can find the answer by yourself." The next time we meet, Mr. Hope has already remembered the concubine. ”

The old woman's voice echoed on the misty river waves, three feet and three sword blades turned, and the people carrying the customs turned back along the road, surrounded by swords on all sides, based on four levels and eight stable, and a hundred miles away in an instant.

On the way, I heard a loud shout from a distance, and it was the lame old man who came from the wind, and when he saw the Guan people, he immediately scolded: "Stinky boy, what the hell are you running around? ”

Guan Ren pointed to the broken sword under his feet and responded: "It's not because of your broken sword, but you want to take me to the east of the river to shake." ”

"Fart, this is the only one in a radius of thousands of miles, where does the big river come from?" The old man has been living in Yuzhou for many years, and he is quite familiar with the mountains, rivers and rivers in the state, and he is said to be within a thousand miles, even within a radius of three thousand miles, he can't find the second water vein. Unless in the years he has been imprisoned in the stone prison, the outside world has changed and suddenly increased a flood of water.

But he has only been in the world for decades, and he is not a vicissitudes of life, how can this world change when it is said to change?

Guan Ren was not angry, and snorted coldly: "What did I lie to you! If you don't believe it, I'll take you to see it." "Then turn the blade of the sword and sweep to the east.

To say that this flying sword is difficult to control, it is not necessarily true. First, this broken sword has long been psychic, not a mortal thing, and it must have been soaked in the exquisite sword intent of the lame old man for thousands of years. Second, although Guan Ren is not a cultivator, he is superior in his mental power, and under the instruction of the old man, he has been able to exchange hearts with the spirit in the sword, and travel freely in the south, south, west, and north.

The two of them rode the wind to the east, and a whistling was thousands of feet away, which could not be described as unpleasant.

But the strange thing is that it is ten, fifty, hundred, and eight hundred miles to the east...... In this vast land, only a few small towns gathered, and in addition, only the smoke of the wilderness remained, and the previous river could not be found.

Guan Ren was also a little unsure for a while, and said in his heart, "Could it be that the rivers, strange fish, white boats, and old women that I saw just now are just some conjectures?....... How can there be manpower in this world who is in charge of the sun, moon and stars?"

Thinking like this, he felt a lot of relief in his heart.

The two drove back with their swords. At that time, the stars were long gone, and the east was slightly white. Hit the south side of the small building and enter through the window, and at this moment the house can already shine some faint skylight.

There was the sound of the husband's bangs on the street, and the mouth shouted 'safe and sound' far away, and now it was the fifth watch.

The east woke up, and a round of red sun quietly appeared. Before the rooster in the city crowed, the world was white.

After the cold dew of this season, the days are getting shorter and the cold nights are getting longer. It stands to reason that the day of the fifth watch should be dark. But today, somehow he committed evil, and when the fifth watch sounded, the sun had climbed out of the east mountain. This kind of situation should not exist in the solar term of the great heat.

On this day, all the masters and everyone in the world who are proficient in zodiac, divination, and astrology are silently deducing this matter, and even those who know a little about shooting and understanding are also trying their best to turn over books and consult classics, in order to spy on the heavens.

But who would dare to believe that the ecliptic hours and the direction of the stars, which are used as the basis of divination, are actually subject to an old woman in her last years. When the sun rises and when the moon sets, it's just a matter of turning your mind.

In the next ten days, the world's teahouses, restaurants, and boats were full of controversy. Some people conclude that it is a big culprit, but some people say that it is a good luck.

The royal Star Survey Hall and the Yin and Yang School among the hundreds of sons are silent about this.

After dawn, a few people had breakfast in the small shop, and then it was time to say goodbye to each other.

Xiao Su didn't sleep all night, thinking that there should be a lot of things to tell, but standing on the road in front of the store, he only said one sentence for a long time, "Take care of your son".

The lame old man glanced at Guan Ren, what he had to say was said last night, and all that was left was to turn around in the rivers and lakes and say goodbye.

Guan Ren walked with Zhao Yubai to the north gate, and the old man walked to the south gate with Xiao Su.

Xiao Su didn't speak, just walked silently, and the old man followed behind with a long sword, and after a while, he turned into another street.

On Chengnan Road, the old man seemed to have something to say, but when he saw Xiao Su's cold appearance, he hesitated.

After going to the city gate for four or five miles, the old man who had been depressed for a long time finally spoke: "Girl, you are pregnant, and you are not suitable for long journeys, I have a long sword here, which can be used as a walking thing......

Xiao Su was still in a hurry, and said expressionlessly: "If the seniors are worried about me, then there is no need." I'm used to walking on weekdays, and these roads are nothing. If you are worried about your children, then you don't have to worry about it. I promised my son to pass on incense to his family, this child's surname is Guan, and there is nothing else. ”

The old man hurriedly said: "Girl, you are the blood and bones of my son Nie Huan, and your child naturally has to be surnamed Nie, how can you follow that kid's surname?"

Xiao Su just hurried away, and said stubbornly: "The predecessor originally promised the son to travel the world with him." The reason why they are coming with me again now is because of my background. But what did he sacrifice his life to save me that day?"

The old man couldn't answer.

Xiao Su said: "He doesn't do anything, just to save people." The seniors were kind to Xiao Su and were more utilitarian. Childe is good to Xiao Su, but he is much simpler. ”

The old man sighed and said no more.

Guan Ren walked with Zhao Yubai to the north gate. When he left the city, he encountered a scene of thousands of people blocking the door.

The plank road with Chen Bing was built on the upper floor of the city, but now it was full of heads, and the entire wall was soaked red with blood.

The crowd gathered in front of the city gate, and the initial panic was gone, so they all stretched out their hands and pointed at the dense human heads. Some say that two hundred and seven heads were counted, while others say two hundred and twenty-one.

Guan Ren and Zhao Yubai squeezed into the crowd, and heard someone behind them say that the hundreds of acres of Zhuangzi in the east of the city were burned to the ground, and I don't know who did it. In a few larger gardens, there are several big families in the broken jade city who are looting their belongings.

Guan Ren suddenly remembered that the old man had entered the room through the window with a sword last night, and when Guan Ren asked, he said that he had gone to 'kill people and set fire', and said that he would be able to see it tomorrow, and it turned out to be true.
