The sea of bitterness is endless, and the sky is dead and silent.

The gray-black water undulated and roared lowly, and no other sound could be heard in heaven and earth. Beneath the surface, however, all sorts of kraken monsters derived from death air roam around like wolves in the wasteland in search of food.

Deep in the ocean lies a lonely stone island, the only place outside the sky that does not belong to the Kraken Monster.

There is no grass on the rocky island, and there is only a small stone mountain standing abruptly in the middle of the island.

There is a cave on the small stone mountain, the cave is spacious and dry, a few rays of light from the outside of the cave naturally shine on the ground, and also sprinkle on a stone couch, a stone table and a stone bench, this couch, a table and a stool, is the only furnishings in the cave.

A pair of young people sit cross-legged on both sides of the cave entrance, these are twin brothers, just like two clay door gods closing their eyes and recuperating their minds, and they are always paying attention to the movements inside and outside the cave.

There is a person living in the cave, a beautiful woman with a special identity and a beautiful face.

Speaking of appearance, even the Guanghan Fairy will be ashamed of herself when she sees her, the clouds and temples are fragrant and the cheeks are snowy, and the dim shimmer is quietly reflected on the side face, forming a flawless arc of light and shadow.

There was dead silence in the cave, and she sat at the stone table, fiddling intently with the needle and thread in her hands.

When the baby is growing, you need to have a few pairs of shoes. lest it be too late to do it, let him run around barefoot.

Thinking of the pair of feet that are getting bigger and bigger day by day, her mind drifts inexplicably, recalling those days when the wind and snow are crying and the sky is freezing. At that time, I also lived in a cave like this, but the cave was as warm as spring, and the bonfire burned forever, lest I freeze myself and my unborn child.

Thinking of that person, thinking of the past years, her plump cherry lips will inadvertently ripple a smile line, like a snow lotus blooming in the ice and snow.

Suddenly, a human voice came from the entrance of the cave, and she didn't look up as if she hadn't heard it, and continued her work.

But the two door gods who were guarding the entrance of the cave heard it, and they got up together to greet the visitors.

Standing at the entrance of the cave was an old man in a brocade robe, his face as white as jade, like a freshly shelled egg, bowing slightly towards the twin brothers, and ordering, "Get ready, get out of here immediately." ”

The two twin brothers looked at each other and said in unison, no one asked why they were leaving, let alone where they were going, this was a habit for many years, unconditionally obeying orders,

After the brocade-robed old man explained, he was about to step into the cave.

Suddenly, he stopped, and Huo Di looked back at the dark ocean in the distance.

The sea was so dead that every drop of water was as heavy as lead, and it was impossible to fly against the wind.

But now there is clearly a guy who walks leisurely and treads the waves, looking at the boundless black water as nothing, and comes across the sea easily.

That is, there is no majestic momentum of thunder, nor there is no elegant and ethereal graceful posture, he walked towards the isolated island step by step, and the waves bowed down where he passed.

Behind this young man, the originally lifeless black-gray sea water turned into a crystal clear blue water, and the fish flew shallow bottom and the eagle hit the sky, which was suddenly full of wild fun and vitality.

"Young Sect Master?!" The twin brothers couldn't help but whisper when they saw the young man walking on the sea.

The old man in the brocade robe slowly turned around to face the sea, but there was no spring blossom, only a lonely guest came from the sea.

In an instant, his mind rushed into seven different ways of dealing with it, including immediately entering the cave and taking the imprisoned man hostage.

In the end, however, he did nothing, and chose the eighth option—to stand motionless, waiting for the young man who had come from the sea to step into the island.

Because his body has long been locked by a vague qi.

It was like a cold knife around his neck, forcing him to be on full guard and not daring to show a flaw.

-- As soon as he is exposed, he will die.

Even though the young man was still thousands of miles away, even though it was just a wisp of qi, not a real knife.

"Protect the young lady. The old man in the brocade robe stared at the visitors on the sea for a moment, and ordered in a deep voice.

The twin brothers didn't understand the hidden meaning of the old man's order, but they still carried it out to the letter.

It's just that as soon as one of their feet walked towards the cave, they all snorted crookedly and fell to the ground.

The brocade-robed old man slowly narrowed his eyes and smiled at the young man on the sea.

"Boy, you're okay, you're back alive. ”

The young man dragged his steps as if he was walking very slowly, as if he was ready to spend his life walking this thousand-mile sea journey, and each step was only a millimeter.

"I'm afraid you'll be sad if you don't come back, aren't you?" he replied, his feet on the lonely island of barren grass.

"You've seen the baby, you're very well-behaved, aren't you? ”

Diao Xiaosi stopped at the foot of the mountain, looked at the old man in the brocade robe on the mountain and smiled: "Thank you." ”

"When you leave, I hope you come back alive. Now that you're back, I'd rather you never come back. ”

The smile on the face of the old man in the brocade robe gradually faded, he looked at the familiar face at the foot of the mountain, sighed softly and said, "You are back, and you know everything, and you know that I killed your mother." It's a bad feeling to be exposed, especially when you're dealing with you. ”

Diao Xiaosi was silent, and after a long time, he spit out two repeated words from between his teeth: "Thank you." ”

After a pause, he added: "Thank you for not killing back then." ”

The old man in the brocade robe looked up to the sky and smiled, and said, "You really should thank me for this? Very good, this is enough." ”

"Not enough, far from enough, I owe you a lot. ”

"You...... It's a child with a heart. Pity...... What a pity!"

"When I was a child, I just learned to count, and you taught me to keep accounts, saying that this is the most useful skill in the world. In the future, if someone owes a debt, when it is clear, remember to recover it with interest. ”

"You know, I'm a man who likes to draw inferences. So if I owe anyone, I will remember to pay him back with interest!"

"I was the one who replaced the concubine back then, and I also sent someone to do the slaughter of the righteous disciples in the Dragon Shouyuan. ”

"If you hadn't replaced the concubine back then, I wouldn't have met her in my life. Even if it does, it's a different person. Speaking of Long Shouyuan, the cause is also for me and the concubine, otherwise we may have already fallen into the hands of those demon slayer guys, and there would be no more follow-ups. ”

"These two things, let's not say that you did right or wrong, but I owe it to you. ”

The old man in the brocade robe was speechless for a long time, but finally sighed and said, "Stinky boy, why do you want to come back?"

Diao Xiaosi laughed twice and said, "Because I don't understand why, I have to come back to you to ask clearly." ”

"I just want to know why? You are so clever, you should have guessed a long time ago, why bother to ask the old man to get to the bottom of it. ”

Diao Xiaosi's expression darkened, and he said, "What if you can guess, I don't give up, I don't believe it, I just want to know why?"

"Well, now you can die. ”

"Why, exactly? To me, you are you, and he is him. ”

"Are you comforting yourself like this? I am one of his Dharma bodies, and every thought and deed is intimately connected with him—I am him, but he is not exactly me, I am his hand that has secretly reached out to the world. ”

"Back then, I smuggled to the human world with the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, and after dozens of reincarnations, my nature was immortal, and the reason for this, you should think of it. ”

Diao Xiaosi didn't speak, as if he was trying to accept or reject the facts in the other party's mouth.

After a while, he asked, "Since you can take advantage of my mother's opportunity to open the Heavenly Ancient Scroll to smuggle into the world, why does Long Cangli continue to stay in the Void Wilderness?"

"Actually, do you want to ask, why I wasn't discovered by the Lord of the Heaven Replenishing Palace?"

"What's there to ask about this, my mother has so many immortal treasures on her, and Long Cangli is the person she trusts the most. Just find a chance to hide in, and with my mother's arrogant nature, she won't notice that something on her body has been tampered with. ”

The old man in the brocade robe nodded and said, "Yes, it is the method of the instrument spirit used." As long as I hide my refining instrument spirit in the immortal treasure, I can easily follow the palace master to the world. Because of this, I can use this method, but the old dragon can't. ”

"But there's a tricky issue here. Since you have been refined into an instrument spirit, you should be integrated with the immortal treasure, how can you be separated after you reach the human world?"

The old man in the brocade robe smiled and stared at Diao Xiaosi, who looked calm, and did not speak for a long time, intent on satisfying his appetite.

"Old Dragon...... He asked me to tell you, the secret can be said, but you have to make a deal with me first. ”

"What deal?"

"Help and wake up Chiyou!"

Diao Xiaosi hated the root of his teeth, and laughed after a while: "Do you think it's possible, I would have developed this ability long ago." ”

The old man in the brocade robe didn't smile, he was Long Cangli at this moment, at least for Diao Xiaosi.

"Actually, I can do it without you, believe it or not, but your Heavenly Destiny Talisman has the advantage of being able to shield the heavens, which can save a lot of trouble. ”

Diao Xiaosi stopped laughing, because this deal was really not funny at all.

On one side is the Elleder, and on the other side is the world.

It's like a scale, no matter which way it is tilted, you will regret it later.
