"Who the hell are you, old man? Which hermit master, or the head of our Violet family?"

"Hey, you ignore me, how did you and Feng Yin meet?"

"Ah? Didn't you say you knew me before? You said that you lied to me, why? Then do you really know the Emperor? Is he particularly powerful?"

"Grandpa, how can I recover my spiritual power?"

"Is this Zhenshi really so magical, and can also delete other people's memories? Do you know the mermaid secret art? Can that thing also erase other people's memories?"

"Grandpa, you've seen that sorcerer in St. Randall before, is he an astrologer?"

Bai Lianzhou kept asking questions along the way, but no matter how he asked, the old man never spit out a word from his mouth. Bai Lianzhou was bored with himself, but it was not easy to attack, after all, he finally met a nobleman, and he was counting on the old man to show him a clear way to make a comeback, so he had to shut up obediently and follow behind the old man.

Although Bai Lianzhou studied the map in detail, he really let him go on the spot in person, and he was dizzy after a while. Looking at the spire of the royal capital, which was suddenly close and far away, he had no idea where he was at all.

After walking with the old man for a long time, Bai Lianzhou gradually lost his physical strength, his legs and feet were sore, and he didn't even have a companion to talk and chat with on the way, and the more he walked, the more dizzy and thirsty he felt.

On the other hand, the old man, seventy or eighty years old, his hair has been completely white, and his waist is not sore or painful all the way, and there is wind under his feet.

Bai Lianzhou couldn't help but bend down and shouted to strike.

The old man ignored him and walked on. Seeing that he had no intention of stopping, the young man had no choice but to drag his tired body three steps and two steps after him.

"Old man, it's getting dark, how long do we have to go? Aren't you very rich, you don't even want to rent a carriage, you really can't record it in my account, and I'll pay you back when I make money later!" Bai Lianzhou really couldn't chase after him, so he simply found a bench to lie down, and today he was killed to death, and he wouldn't take another step.

The old man turned around, and there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "Who do you call the old man?" ”

"Ouch, you can count me, old man, just spare me this idiot, I'm a waste, I'm an idiot, I'm trash, I really can't walk!"

The old man blew through his nostrils and snorted coldly: "You can't stand such a small ordeal, and you still want to find Zhen Shidu?

Bai Lianzhou protested: "You have the blessing of spiritual power, I am just an ordinary person, of course my foot strength is not good." If you don't let me rest again, my life will be gone, how can I go to Zhen Shidu?"

The old man looked at this "rotten wood" and said helplessly: "If you have spiritual power, you are willing to go with me?"

"Of course, it doesn't need to be said!" Bai Lianzhou pouted and replied loudly.

The old man slammed his red and brown wooden crutches on the ground, and Bai Lianzhou's body suddenly began to tremble, only to hear a "bang", the wooden bench instantly disintegrated, turned into a stream of water, and at the moment when the old man's crutches paused again, it burst like a balloon filled with water, and threw the young man above to the ground.

Before Bai Lianzhou could react, his whole body was already submerged in the water, and he was about to scold, when the old man's sleeves moved, and the water on his clothes "brushed and pulled", forming ice crystals at a very fast speed, and constantly extending upward, until the ice flowers hung on the tips of the young man's hair and eyebrows, and then gradually stopped, and the sound of freezing also stopped.

"You bad old man, you dare to calculate the little master!" Bai Lianzhou couldn't break the ice with all his strength and stood up, and even his mouth was frozen in ice, and he couldn't speak clearly.

The old man looked at the "big ice hockey ball" on the ground, laughing like a child who had succeeded in his prank, and his beard trembled slightly with his expression.

"Okay, sir, let's go. After the old man finished laughing, he didn't know where to take out a thin rope, stepped forward and put it on Bai Lianzhou's neck, the other end was held in his hand, and with a gentle pull, the "big ice hockey ball" easily slid on the ground for a short while, the old man nodded, very satisfied, and let Bai Lianzhou scold in the back, and no longer paid attention to it, and walked straight forward.

_

I don't know how long it took, Bai Lianzhou woke up from his sleep. He moved his limbs, his clothes and hair were dry, and he had come out of the ice.

He only felt that he was lightheaded, as if he had woken up after a high fever, and his brain was a little chaotic.

Feeling the darkness to find a match and lighting the lamp at the bedside, Bai Lianzhou found himself in a very warm room. Looking at the furnishings in the house, the tables, chairs, and doors are relatively old, like a hotel. It is estimated that when the old man dragged him with ice, he fell asleep because he was too tired, and he slept late into the night.

He was sure that he had been tricked, and this was simply a great humiliation! After he lost all his spiritual power, sure enough, everyone could bully him, and no one would help him at all!

This old man, who boasts of having a lot of money in his pockets and excellent spiritual power, is actually just a charlatan, he will only use some despicable tricks of the water spirit master to freeze himself in ice cubes and transport him to a place where he is not familiar with life, if he didn't plan to help from the beginning, why would he go to such great lengths to tease himself?

But there is no way to sulk like this, Bai Lianzhou returned to the bed, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath, at this moment, he should calm down and quietly feel the surrounding environment!

Bai Lianzhou suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled slowly, and moved his arm again-

Your spiritual power has actually recovered?

He immediately steadied himself, placed his hand in mid-air, and drew his fingers in the shape of a six-pointed star, which was a unique astrologer's astrological method, and could no longer be used after he lost his spiritual powers. He tried, and the stars in his mind immediately came to mind, but they quickly vanished.

Bai Lianzhou was overjoyed, he didn't count the words he cursed the old man just now, he had no eyes, and now let him kneel on the ground and kowtow to the old man. He sank down again to feel the spiritual power in his body, although it was not as good as before, only one-tenth of the original, but it was enough, I didn't expect this sleep to be so worthwhile!

"Hey, I should have thanked him. The young man sighed and said to himself in a mournful tone: "Although I have no money in my pocket, no knowledge in my head, and no spiritual power in my body, I am a human being...... Always be grateful. Although the old man's words are ugly, he does good deeds without leaving a name, and I can't find a place to repay my kindness...... Didn't you say that Zhen Shide asked him to come, if he left here and went to St. Randall, maybe he would be able to meet them......"

His voice was like a ball rolling farther and farther away, gradually lowering.

After the old man left, he felt unprecedented loneliness and fear.

It hadn't been used for half a year, and now that there was suddenly so much spiritual power in his body, Bai Lianzhou only felt that his scalp was numb from this energy. As soon as he stretched like that, his fingers and wrists were as sore as if they were cramping, and this feeling did not stop, and even continued to spread to his arms and shoulders, and he could not relieve it with all his might, until half of his body was stiff and sore, and he could not move when he lay on the bed.

Bai Lianzhou used the strength of his body to press down on his numb arm, but the more he struggled, the faster this abnormal feeling spread. Soon, the soreness spread to the other arm, then the chest, lower abdomen, and finally even the toes.

The boy tumbled from the bed to the floor, rolling in pain.

"What the hell is this...... What's going on......" His ears began to buzz, his eyes were clouded with purple, and his vision began to blur.

"You're 'molting,' kid. ”

A voice sounded in his ears, and Bai Lianzhou couldn't hear it clearly, but he hurriedly shouted, "Ancestor...... Old man, save me......"

The man stopped answering, and the tingling faded away along with the voice. Bai Lianzhou took a long time to recover, panting and getting up from the floor with a limp body, he looked around the room and saw the old man.

What does "molting" mean?

Bai Lianzhou raised his arm to look at it, the young man's skin was still wheat-colored, his muscles were firm, the lines were clear, and he could faintly see the cyan blood vessels under the skin.

"I'm not a snake, and I haven't shed my skin, have I?" he said to himself. After a sweep, Bai Lianzhou saw a note on the ground, which should have fallen out of his pocket just now, and was crumpled by him rolling back and forth, which read:

Tomorrow we will depart for the town of Saru.

There is no signature, but the handwriting is hard and neat, and it should have been left by the old man. Bai Lianzhou thought to himself, this old guy, do good deeds without leaving a name, not only restored his spiritual power, but also wrote a note to tell me where to go next, if there is a fate to see you again in the future, I must thank you again.

"What is this town of Saru? not to Saint-Landall?"

Bai Lianzhou stood up and looked outside. Outside the window, the city is lit up with lights, like dots of starlight embedded in the Milky Way, and the unique humid atmosphere of the Violet Empire slowly infiltrates the air, creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Bai Lianzhou has never liked this kind of dampness, and always feels wet, but this time he is surging from the bottom of his heart with his love for this empire, his longing for the water element and his yearning for the future.

He looked down at the lamp at the door of the inn, and the light was warm, and it happened to shine on the sign at the crossroads—

Saru Town, two kilometers east.
