"Sir, I once had an apprentice in the mortal world...."

The thing Lin Qingbai wanted to ask was a bit complicated. When Xi'an was mentioned, his voice choked suddenly, his mouth was tightly pursed, and he changed the way of asking.

"I once met a monster in the mortal world. The monster had a strange appearance, a round head and a long body, four short feet on the sides, and a tail that looked like a fish's.But when it was attacking our group, it saw the eyes of my apprentice, but suddenly backed away..."

Speaking of which, Wanshitong frowned and asked, "The monster has retreated?"

"Yes, it returned."

"How did it return?"

Lin Qingbai carefully recalled how the monster retreated back then.

He frowned slightly, and carefully described every movement of the monster at that time.

"At that time, its body seemed to be frozen, and it suddenly let go of the two paws holding my apprentice, and then stepped back step by step. The panting in its nasal cavity became smaller and smaller, and finally it retreated to a position five or six steps away from us.He stopped in his tracks, but his eyes were still staring at my apprentice..."

"Then it bowed and raised its tail, and began to shake its tail violently. It rubbed its paws on the ground, and finally let out a long howl, turned around and jumped into the woods, never to be seen again."

Wanshitong's brows became tighter. He put his right hand on the table, dipped his index finger in a little tea, and wrote and drew on the table, as if he was thinking about this matter.

Lin Qingbai continued: "The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't suspect it, but I thought the monster had retreated for other reasons, but yesterday, I encountered exactly the same situation."

Wanshitong paused the movements of his hands, and looked at Lin Qingbai with a darker gaze.

"What scene?"

Lin Qingbai said: "In the protective barrier of the ghost clan, I saw the same monster again, but it was bigger and as strong as a mountain. There was a person from the monster clan walking with us. After the monster saw his face clearly,It behaves the same as the monsters in the mortal world."

"...."

"Excuse me, sir, why does the monster behave like this?"

At this time, Wanshitong also stopped writing and drawing. He pointed to the position of the desk and asked Lin Qingbai: "Look, son, did the monster you met at that time look like this?"

Lin Qingbai leaned forward, and saw Wanshitong draw a picture with water on the table.

The table is dark in color, and the water stains are obvious on the table, and the painted objects can be seen at a glance.

That thing looks strange, with a round head and a long body, four short legs on the sides, and a tail that looks like a fish's tail.

It was consistent with the appearance of the monster that Lin Qingbai had seen.

Lin Qingbai sat up straight and said, "That's true."

Wanshitong laughed suddenly, he shook his head, raised his hand and casually wiped off the monster drawn on the table, and said in a low voice, "The monster you met is called a newt."

Lin Qingbai had only heard of the newt, but had never heard of the newt. He repeated: "... the newt?"

"Yes, a newt, this kind of monster looks like a newt, with a round head and a long body, with four short legs on the side. It is called a newt. There are two types of newts. One is a small newt, which is a monster of the demon race.One of the lowest-level monsters, there is also a big newt. Only one big newt will grow out of every hundred small newts. This kind of big newt is a middle-level monster of the demon clan, regardless of the low-level monsters.High-level monsters or mid-level monsters, there is no big difference between them except for the difference in attack power."

"This kind of monsters are simple-minded, but they are very lethal. They like to eat the viscera of flesh and blood.But I only recognize one person..."

Lin Qingbai's heart tightened, and he almost had a premonition of who that person was.

Just listen to Wan Shitong continuing: "The kind of action you saw made by the newt is not attack and hostility, but fear and submission."

"...."

"So they only recognize the one person, then

It is the leader of the entire demon clan, the demon emperor Yan Qiusi."

The man's hoarse voice echoed in the room.

Yan Qiusi's three words kept ringing in Lin Qingbai's ears, making his heart beat fast.

Lin Qingbai's voice was dry, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "I don't understand what you mean sir... I hope you can clarify..."

Wanshitong said: "If I'm not mistaken, the people from the Yaozu you saw in the Ghost Clan are not real Yaozu people, but the incarnation of the demon emperor Yan Qiusi."

Lin Qingbai froze for a moment.

The cypress windows in the house were open, and the sun was getting higher and higher. The sun shone on Lin Qingbai's body along the window, shining his eyelashes like a fan, his face was bright, and his whole body exuded warmth.

But Lin Qingbai felt bitingly cold.

With a trembling mouth, he asked, "Is it possible for a newt to obey someone other than the Demon Emperor..."

"impossible."

Lin Qingbai's hands gradually clenched into fists, almost tearing the fabric on the cushion into shreds.

He tried his best to calm himself down, recalling what happened at that time little by little, for fear of missing any details, which would lead to the misjudgment of Wanshitong.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, his eyelashes were like a butterfly fluttering its wings, trembling and trembling helplessly, suddenly he thought of something, leaned forward, and asked again: "Sir, is there a possibility?.....these movements made by the monsters have other meanings..."

"...."

"Could it be that those actions are not surrender and fear, the monster retreated on a whim." Lin Qingbai has always been calm, but now he is like a child explaining mistakes to his master, frowning, thinking hardFor those details, I told Wanshitong: "At that time, the monsters didn't seem to be at a loss. They may have been full, or...or suffered internal injuries..."

At this time, Lin Qingbai even brought up this explanation that he once thought was ridiculous, and tried very hard to confirm that all of this had nothing to do with that devil.

Wanshitong looked at Lin Qingbai, and said clearly word by word: "Newts are ferocious by nature, except for facing the Demon Emperor, it is impossible to drop food and escape."

Lin Qingbai gasped heavily, propped the table with one hand, slowly closed his eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Sir, will the monster recognize the wrong person..."

"The demon emperor Yan Qiusi's body is the highest blood of the demon clan, leading the entire demon clan." Wan Shitong said: "The monster's sensitivity to the demon emperor will never be wrong, even if the demon emperor Yan Qiusi changes into oneThere are thousands of forms, and monsters will not admit it wrong."

As soon as the words fell, Wanshitong saw Lin Qingbai's shoulders trembled, and he said with difficulty: "Even if Xiao Qi is the incarnation of Yan Qiusi, my apprentice is just a mortal, and he has already died in the mortal world. …”

"Young master."

Wan Shi Tong interrupted Lin Qingbai's words.

Lin Qingbai slowly opened his eyes, and saw Wanshitong's wrinkled eyes were like mirrors, looking straight at him, as if he could see through his thoughts, and even more so, his past and present lives.

Just listen to Wan Shitong said slowly: "Have you ever thought that there is a possibility..."

The wind from the lake outside the window blew in, and Lin Qingbai trembled unconsciously.

An uncontrollable sense of oppression came from his chest, he seemed to be able to predict what might be what Master of Everything was about to say?

This sentence will make him die of pain, beyond redemption.

Lin Qingbai suddenly wanted to turn around and walk out of the boat, but he suddenly regretted it.

Why ask this question?

Wouldn't it be nice to just ask where the Oni Volcano is?

He can get the ghost eye without any effort, and he can have the soul pill, which greatly increases his mana.

He no longer has to endure the difficulty of mana conversion, and the feeling of heart cramping to the point of wanting to live but dying.

He can have a healthy body again.

Why on earth did he ask this question that would haunt him for the rest of his life?

So what if he knew the answer?

he will get

to what?

Can he let go of those ordinary things?

Or can you live better because of it?

Neither can.

It hurts to pick it up, but it still hurts to put it down.

But he still refused to let go, repeatedly peeling off the scars, the pain was so painful that he was dripping with blood, and it was difficult to breathe.

Then the voice of the know-it-all sounded again.

He said the sentence that killed Lin Qingbai for the last time in Ling Chi's punishment: "What if your apprentice and the monster clan were originally one person? They are both the Demon Emperor Yan Qiusi.....”

As soon as the words fell, the room suddenly became very quiet.

The wind outside the window brushed away the hair falling from Lin Qingbai's shoulders, and Lin Qingbai sat firmly in front of the desk.

He still sat upright, but his face was very white, as white as the white paper drawn on the desk, his eyes were red, and he looked at the person in front of him motionlessly, like a piece of wood, except his mouth was gently moving.trembling.

Suddenly there was a crash.

Lin Qingbai's hand unexpectedly tore off a piece of cloth from the cushion.

This sound made Lin Qingbai wake up suddenly, his clenched fist tremblingly loosened, his fingers were pale and cold, and his palm was covered with cold sweat.

Lin Qingbai rolled his Adam's apple twice violently, and argued in a trembling voice: "Impossible, it's impossible for him...he was raised by me...he has been with me since he was six years old...By my side, I know best..."

Speaking of this, Lin Qingbai suddenly couldn't continue talking, and he thought of all kinds of things in the mortal world.

What does he know?

What did he know about Xi An?!

Did he deliberately get close to Xi'an after knowing Xi'an for twelve years?Or do you know that Xi An rebelled back then?

Or was he ruthless because of Xi An's unscrupulous methods?!

Does he understand?!

He doesn't understand anything!

In the twelve years in the mortal world, he never knew Xi An, even though they were together every day, even though he was raised by him, even though he was his only apprentice.

But in the end, Xi An stabbed Lin Qingbai the deepest and heaviest.

It's just that trusting Xi'an has been Lin Qingbai's instinct for twelve years, and Lin Qingbai has long been used to it, so much so that he blurted out at that moment just now.

That's how people are.

Whenever I think of my old friend, I always think of his kindness to me, and those unforgettable pains will be subconsciously hidden, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

Wanshitong asked Lin Qingbai: "Why is it impossible? You can be Lin Qingbai, Qingyuan Xianzun, why can't he be the Demon Emperor Yan Qiusi?"

Lin Qingbai never told Wanshitong his real identity, but now the words Qingyuan Xianzun came out of Wanshitong's mouth lightly.

Lin Qingbai no longer had the heart to care about these things.

He was sitting in front of the table, with his hands on his knees, and the sunlight fell on his curled fingertips, making his nails pale as snow.

Lin Qingbai lowered his eyes, looking at the beam of sunlight on his fingertips.

After a while, he nodded lightly and said, "Yes, sir is right, nothing is impossible..."

Seeing Lin Qingbai like this, Wanshitong sighed a long time, picked up the brush on the side again, bent down, and waved his sleeves to paint.

"Nie Yuan... Nie Yuan..."

The man shook and sighed heavily.

The sound of drawing and writing was faint, but his words could no longer be heard in the room.

When Lin Qingbai came down from the second floor of Huafang, it was already an hour later.

The sun was rising by the lake, all the fog in the lake disappeared, and the painting boats became lively. People coming and going were watching the paintings on the first floor on the first floor, and the little brothers on the first floor were almost overwhelmed.I kept yelling loudly which painting was sold again.

Standing below, Liang Yaochu was not in a hurry, talking to a new friend she just met.

The two women stood in front of a painting of the afterglow of the setting sun, admiring the painting with each other, and what they said really meant something.

"Hey, son, come down

Here we come—"

The little brother at the front desk was the first to see Lin Qingbai, and he bowed his body to greet Lin Qingbai, so everyone in the boat was attracted by the call.

Liang Yaochu immediately turned around, raised her head and looked at Lin Qingbai with a smile like a flower.

She casually greeted Xiao Er who came to the side, pointed to the painting and said, "Help me wrap this painting up."

Xiao Er immediately took down the painting.

Afterwards, Liangyao Chu happily ran up the steps, approached Lin Qingbai and asked, "How is it? Where is the ghost volcano?"

Lin Qingbai lowered his eyes and did not speak. He just held on to the handrail of the steps with one hand and walked down step by step.

His steps were slow and heavy, as if every step weighed heavily.

Liang Yaochu moved closer, frowning at Lin Qingbai's face.

Just now she ran in a hurry and didn't look carefully, but now that she was a little closer, she saw that Lin Qingbai's face was very ugly.

Although it was still the same expressionless and cold face as before, it was so pale that it was almost transparent.

"What's wrong?" Liang Yaochu frowned and asked, "Didn't you find out the location of Ghost Volcano?"

At this moment, the mistress downstairs just asked Liang Yaochu to go down to get the painting, and Liang Yaochu impatiently yelled downstairs: "Wait a minute!"

Her yell was so loud that Xiao Er stopped talking immediately in fright, and even her new friend trembled in fright.

Liang Yaochu was short-tempered. She thought it was Wanshitong who didn't tell Lin Qingbai the answer, so she rolled up her sleeves and said, "Did that person take your things but didn't tell you the answer? I'll go find him!"

After finishing speaking, Liang Yaochu raised her feet and rushed upstairs, but before she ran up two steps, Lin Qingbai's clear and faint voice sounded behind her.

"I didn't ask him that question."

Liang Yaochu's feet froze in place, she turned her head in disbelief, and asked, "...what?!"

Lin Qingbai still turned his back to her, with his back straight, and he said softly again: "I didn't ask him that question, let's go."

After speaking, Lin Qingbai raised her foot and walked down the steps.

Liangyaochu was stunned for a while, and after she realized it, she immediately chased after her. When she went down the steps, Xiaoer hurriedly stepped forward and handed the painting to her. Liangyaochu casually took out an ingot from her pocket.Yin Zi hurriedly said, "I don't want the painting anymore!"

"Why"

When Liang Yaochu chased out of the boat, Lin Qingbai was already standing on the bow of the boat.

The sun was falling on his shoulders, his white clothes were fluttering, his figure was bleak, like the light entering the white mist, he was walking down the steps of the painting boat step by step with his clothes on his hem, and stepped onto the boat.

"Wait for me."

Liang Yaochu hurriedly followed.

On the way back, Lin Qingbai seemed very tired.

When he was sitting on the boat, he didn't stand at the front of the boat as he did when he came here, and he didn't use his strength to protect the boat to move forward steadily. Instead, he sat on the side of the boat and looked down at the reflection in the lake.Preoccupied.

In the end, Liangyaochu cast a spell and escorted the boat to the shore smoothly.

Then when the two were sitting in the carriage, Lin Qingbai did not speak.

He was sitting opposite Liang Yaochu, leaning his head on the wall of the car.

The wind from the carriage passing by kept pouring into the carriage, and a vertical light followed the ups and downs of the curtain, and shone on Lin Qingbai's cheek.

He half-closed his eyes, his face was beautiful, as if it was about to shatter, his sleeves were slightly lifted, and the skin on his exposed wrist was fine and white, with well-defined joints, like a delicate bamboo.

Lin Qingbai lost weight.

Liang Yaochu actually met Lin Qingbai once many years ago.

At that time, the name of Qingyuan Immortal Venerable resounded throughout the fairy world, no matter which clan he was in, he would sacrifice his life to go if it was in danger.

During a riot in the Yaozu, Liang Yaochu disguised himself as a doctor accompanying the army and went to treat the wounded.

That was the first time she saw Lin Qingbai.

Lin Qingbai came back from the battlefield and led tens of thousands of soldiers, descending from the sky.

He was wearing silver armor, holding a feather in his hand, and wearing a white shawl with blood on it,

But it didn't stain the cold air on his body at all.

At that time, he was tall and imposing, and when he stood far away, he only felt that he was unattainable, and his whole body seemed to be glowing with cold white light.

That aura is so aggressive that everyone needs to look up to him and enshrine him with both hands.

And then...that heroic man fell to the ground and became a sick child who was dying in Prince Yun's mansion. After suffering from illness for twelve years, he lost his soul pill after returning to the fairy world.like a disabled person.

Sickness, betrayal.

Heart-piercing, heart-piercing.

It seemed that all the pain was coming towards him, robbing him of the uniqueness of thousands of years, taking away the slightest bit of his body, and tormenting him until he was extremely pale.

So much so that when Liang Yaochu learned that Lord Yun was Lin Qingbai, she couldn't believe it for a long time.

She is not a rigid person, but she can't connect Lord Yun's sickness with the high-ranking immortal back then.

And now Lin Qingbai's head leaning against the wall, Liang Yaochu couldn't be more clear.

In the mortal world, whenever Lin Qingbai encountered painful things, he didn't want to say nothing, and he didn't want to vent his anger like others. He could only hide the pain in his heart and turn it into a needle.Usually stuck in his heart.

That's why he was so tired that he couldn't even open his eyes.

Whenever Liang Yaochu would not ask him what happened, just like now she would not ask Lin Qingbai what went wrong.

Why even the Soul Pill can be dispensed with, and still be so obsessed with this question.

Who hasn't done something persistent yet?

Liang Yaochu turned her head to the side, gently lifted the curtain of the car, and looked aimlessly at the scenery outside the window.

The inn they left early in the morning was almost noon, the sun was dazzling, and the street vendors were noisy and noisy.

"Qiangman..."

At this moment, Lin Qingbai suddenly called Liang Yaochu, who turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Qingbai still maintained the posture just now, he didn't even open his eyes, but moved his mouth, and said softly: "I'm sorry."

"...."

"I didn't ask about Oni Volcano..."

If he can't find the ghost volcano, he can't find the ghost eye, and if he can't find the ghost eye, he can no longer have the soul pill.

If there is another war in the fairy world in the future, how should he protect the vast common people in the fairy world?

This time he was selfish...

Suddenly Liangyaochu's eyes became hot, she quickly lowered her eyes, blinked twice vigorously, and then suppressed the tears in her eyes, said with a trembling voice: "You have never been sorry to anyone, don't saysorry."

"...."

"That's the question the princess gave you, you can ask whatever you want..."

"...."

"You don't owe anyone. Everyone's life is their own. Why should you bear everyone's life? It's not fair to you. You just have to do what you want."

Liang Yaochu said these words in a casual tone, but Lin Qingbai's hands were clenched into fists, he turned his head sideways, his Adam's apple rolled twice with great difficulty, and he didn't speak any more.

It was time for dinner when Lin Qingbai and Liang Yaochu walked into the inn.

Most of the guests in the inn go out to hang out and eat everywhere, so there are not many people eating in the inn.

He Fangleng, Mo Yuluo, and Xuanche were sitting in the lobby, waiting for the food to be served.

As soon as they saw Lin Qingbai coming back, they immediately stepped forward.

"Brother, you really went to the boat early in the morning, and you really didn't take me with you." He Fangleng said half-jokingly when he saw Lin Qingbai and Liang Yaochu came back.

He then asked Liang Yaochu: "Qiangman, did you see any good paintings when you went to the painting boat today? Didn't you buy a single painting? I said that you should take me to this kind of place, I know how to appreciate paintings bestgone."

"Master, have you eaten your lunch yet? We just ordered food and we want to wait for you to come back and eat together."

"Master

,What do you want to eat?I'll go for some more."

The people around turned around Lin Qingbai, but Lin Qingbai walked past everyone and went straight to the stairs.

Everyone's voices froze.

He Fangling's smile froze on his face. He looked at Liang Yaochu who was still standing at the door, stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What did you guys do when you went out just now? Why is your brother so pale?"

The remaining two also walked to Liang Yaochu's side.

Seeing that Liang Yaochu just looked at Lin Qingbai's back and didn't answer for a long time, He Fang frowned and asked again: "Did you get the news about Ghost Volcano from the princess yesterday? It's not going well?"

Several people were discussing in low voices.

Lin Qingbai stepped up the steps very quickly, he didn't have any thoughts in his mind now, he just wanted to go back to the room quickly and have a good sleep.

Faster, faster.

It would be better if you could forget all this.

At this moment, the door of Xiao Qi's room on the second floor suddenly opened.

Xiao Qi and the woman in black came out together. The girl smiled and held Xiao Qi's arm.

When Xiao Qi turned around, he happened to see Lin Qingbai going upstairs.

He laughed inexplicably, and joked: "Mr. Fu went out early in the morning, did he do something shameful, and he insisted on avoiding everyone?"

The moment Lin Qingbai heard Xiao Qi's voice, all the pain that had been tensed and endured just now came out at this moment.

Memories are like surging rivers and seas, drowning him instantly.

 …

"Master, I was wrong, please don't be angry with me..."

"Master, do you like the raspberries I picked for you..."

"Master, you are the most important person to me..."

"Master, when I grow up, I want to protect Master. If I have high martial arts skills and become a general, I will definitely be able to protect Master...

"Master, if I can't come back from the battle in Qianzhou, will you miss me..."

"Master, I miss you so much..."

"Master, although the life of the march is boring and difficult, I have carved out the appearance of the master, and I take it out to look at it from time to time, and I feel that I have never been separated from the master..."

"Master, happy new year, may the new year no matter what happens, master will always be by my side..."

"Master, no matter what happens, you must always be by my side..."

"Always by my side..."

Lin Qingbai's heart hurt like a knife, he stumbled suddenly, his body swayed and fell forward, a mouthful of hot blood spurted from his mouth, and splashed on the steps.

"Master!!!"

"Brother!!!"

The people behind shouted and rushed over to support Lin Qingbai's body, but Lin Qingbai felt that those voices were far, far away. He looked at the dazzling blood on the ground, and the words of know-it-all kept ringing in his ears.

"Have you ever thought about it, what if your apprentice and the monster clan were originally the same person? They are both the Demon Emperor Yan Qiusi..."

They are all demon kings...

They are all Demon Emperors, Yan Qiusi...

Why is it Yan Qiusi...

Anyone in the world can do it!

Even if it's just a ghost without avatars!

Lin Qingbai would be full of joy and step forward to meet him.

But why is it Yan Qiusi...

He killed him, he hated him...

There is a monstrous hatred between them...

Those hatreds are too deep and too heavy, not only the hatred between Lin Qingbai and Yan Qiusi, but also the hatred between the immortals and demons for thousands of years, blood flowing like rivers.

Lin Qingbai raised his head slowly, he saw Xiao Qi had already run to the stairs, and when he looked at him, his face was no longer square.

Cai smiled and frowned slightly, as if... worried about him too.

Lin Qingbai's hands were clenched into fists, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth. Looking at Xiao Qi, he suddenly smiled.

Xiao Qi was stunned, his black eyes were motionless, and he looked at Lin Qingbai.

It was still those eyes that Lin Qingbai was very familiar with...

It's still those Lin Qingbai's eyes that avoid the sharp edge and don't want to look...

He and Yan Qiusi are separated by two lifetimes. See you again at this moment. One is standing tall on the steps, and the other is standing under the steps in embarrassment.

Good luck tricks people...

Good luck tricks people....

For twelve years, they went around and lied to each other.

Until now, there is no end to death.

How can there be a half-point maneuver.
