On that day, it was the day when the heavy snow closed the mountain, and on the east side of this Taoist temple, which the villagers near Phoenix Mountain called the "Ghost Taoist Temple", in a small two-story building, a girl about twelve or thirteen years old was wiping the sweat beads on the top of her head for the old man on the sickbed who opened her mouth like a dying fish and twitched all over.

At this time, the wind whistled outside the closed wooden window, and the sound of collision kept coming, and it was extremely cold in this hot house. The girl was dressed in thick cotton clothes at this time, and her two white hands were red from the cold in the room. But the old man on the sickbed, who was constantly twitching, was only dressed in single clothes, and he was sweating all over his body. The girl only felt that the sweat she had wiped away for the old man was about half a teapot.

"Lonely...... Lonely ......"

The old man's words were indistinct, but suddenly became clear, a character kept jumping out of his mouth, and the girl pouted, unwilling to pay attention to the old man, but when the girl was about to wipe the sweat from his forehead again, she bumped into the old man's red eyes. The two eyes were bright red, and there were more than a few bloodshots, and when she looked at them so suddenly, the girl felt that the old man's pupils had turned red.

"Go...... Go to him, ...... quickly" The old man's voice was very heavy, but he couldn't spit it out completely. The girl saw the old man holding one hand to his chest and the other hand grasping the bed, and she could also anticipate how painful he was now.

And the girl also knew that this old man was about what medical skills called "returning to the light", but she still had a little doubt in her heart, could it be that this old thing that was built like a cow on weekdays, as he said, really couldn't survive this harsh winter?

"Quick...... Just go. ”

Just these few words, the old man was already out of breath, and when he saw that the girl in front of the sickbed was not moving, the old man immediately panicked. But when he was about to do his best to teach the girl a lesson, the girl's body moved again.

"Got it, I'm going to find him. ”

The sound was as cold as the north wind outside the house, but it made the old man feel extremely comforted.

The girl put the sweat towel in her hand on the table, then put on her hat and cloak again, and then went downstairs.

Although this Taoist temple is hundreds of zhang away from the foot of Phoenix Mountain, it occupies a huge area, and I don't know when and who built it, after all, these stones and wood, Phoenix Mountain does not exist at all. This temple has been in existence for at least decades, but there is no trace of repair, and its craftsmanship can be seen.

The small building where the old man was located was at the easternmost end of the Taoist temple, but he was currently practicing in retreat at the westernmost end of the Taoist temple, and he had to pass through a long corridor covered with ice and snow, and then pass through a courtyard in the wind and frost, so that he could reach the west courtyard.

The girl put the hat on, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open, and countless wind and snow broke into the house that was still a little warm at this moment, although the door was quickly closed, but the puddle of water stains on the ground seemed to announce how terrible the wind and snow were.

In the western courtyard of the Taoist temple, although he was in retreat, in essence, he was only adjusting his internal breath, not entering the meridians, and he had already stood up before the sound of the girl's knock on the door sounded. And when the girl's knock on the door sounded, his inquiry followed.

"Koyanagi?"

There was no answer outside the house, and it seemed that Koyanagi was correct.

He knew Koyanagi's style well, so he put on his coat and picked up his hat, walked to the door, and asked, "Is the old man no good?"

"Hmm. ”

In this answer, there were three points of determination and seven points of joy, but when he heard it, he felt that his chest suddenly became dull.

"Did the old man actually die at this time? Zhuge Qi and they have not yet returned, and now in this Taoist temple, except for Pang Liu, who is locked up in the dungeon, there are only three people, me, Xiaoliu and the old man, Pang Liu naturally can't be released, will they believe Xiaoliu's words?"

While thinking about what kind of situation he would face after Mr. Wu's death, he was not yet named "Sikong Gu", and he pressed the hat on his head.

"Let's go see him one last time. ”

With this in mind, after returning to the small building with Xiaoyanagi, he finally saw Mr. Wu, who was called "old man" by him and Xiaoyanagi, for the last time.

On the sickbed, Mr. Wu, who had been naked, was staring at the staircase with a pair of eyes, and the moment he saw Sikong's lonely head, Mr. Wu showed a pleased smile on his face.

"I'm coming. ”

He walked to the sickbed, but he didn't kneel, and he didn't look like he wanted to squat, so he looked down at Mr. Wu on the sickbed, and asked, "Do you have any other instructions?"

After asking, he shook his head with a smile and said: "If it is those clichés, there is no need to say it, I will fulfill my wish to take off Yang Feiqiu's head and completely uproot the Divine Gate." ”

"Good...... Good ......"

Mr. Wu showed a pleased smile, and a hand trembled and stretched out, as if he wanted to touch him, but he took half a step back, but this move made Mr. Wu's raised hand suddenly stagnate.

"So, what else is there to command?"

Although the tone was not cold, and even a little warm, the meaning was as sharp as a sharp sword. Of course, this is also an ability that Mr. Wu wants him to learn, it is better to always smile than to be cold as frost.

Of course, in the present situation, this rule does not seem to apply, but he still perfectly interprets what his teacher has taught, although he feels that he will probably not be very happy to do so.

"Lonely...... You remember that, it's good, but ...... I want to ask you, do you really want to do this?"

Mr. Wu's hand slowly drooped, and he couldn't see what his emotions were from his appearance, Xiao Yanagi was standing beside Sikong Gu at the moment, watching the change in the expression of the old man on the sickbed, but he couldn't see whether Mr. Wu's move just now was a temptation or a true expression. After all, at this time, to test his apprentice and judge whether his apprentice can see that he is cheating him, if this kind of thing is done by Mr. Wu, whom Koyanagi knows, Koyanagi feels normal.

"Master, what do you mean by that? Haven't I been taught by you precisely because of this in the past seven years?"

He shook his head slightly, and said aloud in his voice as clear as water: "If Mr. wants to confirm whether I will definitely fulfill Mr.'s wish, then as an apprentice, there is probably no way for me to prove it to you at this time." ”

"No...... Not so," the old man's voice was a little hurried, and his whole body rolled over, trying to sit up.

"Don't worry, Yang Feiqiu, Shenmen, and Hidden Gate, I remember them all, and I don't have to repeat them. ”

He repeated it succinctly, and confirmed, "From now on, I can be 'Sikong Gu', right?"
