The night was quiet, and the full moon was shining brightly. The clear spring was trickling in the elegant courtyard. Occasionally, a few swimming fish touched the water, causing sporadic ripples and fine crystal splashes.
In the small courtyard deep in the Yaochi Villa, Mu Rou stood quietly in front of the window, staring blankly at the dark night dotted with stars. The bright moonlight fell softly, infiltrating the white magnolia flowers in front of the windowsill, and also misty Mu Rou.
Soft, pure and fair cheeks.
After two years of seclusion and promotion to Martial Master, everything was peaceful and calm, seemingly calm.
Master and elders are pleased with the breakthrough in realm, and are pleased with this tranquility.
Mu Rou also felt a little happy because she finally saw the smile on her master's face, even though it was only very light and short-lived.
But in a daze, Mu Rou has always felt that there is chaos in the deepest part of her heart recently, as if she is confused by the indifference and changes of her silent transformation, and as if she is fantasizing.
Some kind of unreal distraction.
All in all, every night when people are quiet and I calm down, I will always feel a little absent-minded. This kind of chaos that is too subtle to be detected will always emerge silently.
Mu Rou never told anyone, for fear that her master would be worried and that the elders would be nervous. She just thought that this was the remnant of the inner demon that had not yet been eliminated. She tried her best to overcome it in private, in order to take further steps in the ultimate martial arts.
.
but……
The moment she stepped into this long-standing ancient city, Mu Rou suddenly had a strange illusion, an inexplicable and speechless illusion that disturbed her calm state of mind. In the evening, several pieces of news mentioned by the elders during the discussion,
Let this confused feeling become clear again.
Squeak!
The door was gently opened, and the 'Saint Aunt' who had accompanied him to Blackstone Ancient City walked in.
"Holy aunt, why are you here?" Mu Rou calmed down her emotions and smiled as pure as a blooming white lotus.
Perhaps it is because of the martial arts that the Saintess only teaches. Since she was promoted to the Martial Master Realm, Mu Rou has been exuding a noble majesty and a holy aura from the world. This kind of power is felt most strongly among the disciples of the Holy Land.
Even the sisters who were good friends in the past no longer dare to get along with each other in a playful manner. Even though Mu Rou deliberately restrained herself, the pure and holy aura still existed in substance.
Aunt Sheng's lonely face thawed slightly: "In the evening discussion, I saw that your mood was a little abnormal. What's going on?"
"Aunt Saint is worried. I have nothing to do with it. I'm just a little... nervous all of a sudden."
"Nervous? Is it because of this stormy meeting?"
"Hmm. Maybe."
The Holy Aunt felt relieved and said with relief: "The Black Stone Treasure Appraisal Conference has attracted many ancient families and forces including those from the Central Plains. The number of sects gathered here so far exceeds thirty. According to the
According to our intelligence calculations, the number of venerables has reached an unprecedented sixty, which is about to surpass the total number of venerables in the entire Great Yan Kingdom.
The four major auction houses are trying their best to find ways to ease the conflict and divert the attention of all parties. Otherwise, if a melee breaks out in advance, this ancient black stone city that has existed for nearly ten thousand years will be razed to the ground.
The Heavenly Demon, the Great Witch, Prince Jing's Palace and other forces from the Yan Kingdom have basically arrived in recent days. Judging from the current situation, among the top ten geniuses of the young generation of the Yan Kingdom who were in retreat in the early stage, you, the young prince of Prince Jing's Palace, and Nie from the Heavenly Demon Holy Land are the only ones.
Yue, Qin Hentian from the Great Witch Holy Land, the four of them broke through the barrier and advanced to the Martial Master Realm, but we also got news that the third prince of the royal family has also passed the barrier and advanced to the Martial Master Realm, but he has gone to the border to solidify his training and will not participate in this melee.
Our Yaochi Holy Land came to Blackstone this time not only for Bai Zeyu in the treasure appraisal conference, but also to compete with other holy places. Through you, the future saint, we will show the elegance of the Yaochi Holy Land and suppress the devil, the great witch and Prince Jing's Mansion.
You are actually shouldering the prayers of the saint, so it is natural for you to be a little nervous. But we all believe that you can do your best. The second elder and I are accompanying you this time to help you. With the second elder’s superb strength and the weapons she carries,
The Holy Land Spiritual Weapon is enough to deal with any eventuality, so you can do it with confidence."
Mu Rou nodded lightly and showed a confident smile: "Don't worry, Saint, I won't let you down. Is Bai Zeyu sure to appear at the treasure appraisal conference?"
"It is basically certain that on the day of the treasure appraisal conference, Bai Zeyu will be exhibited by the Blackstone Auction House. It is said that one of the purposes of the trip to the Eternal Beast Mountain is also for it. The aura of the wild beast remaining on this spiritual feather is tempting to them.
Too big.
In other words, we will face a very strong opponent. Even if we are lucky enough to get Bai Zeyu at the treasure appraisal conference, Eternal Beast Mountain may use any means to snatch it away after the conference.
So far, we have not determined who entrusted the Blackstone Auction House, otherwise... we can communicate in advance to avoid a head-on conflict with Eternal Beast Mountain at the treasure appraisal conference."
Mu Rou remained silent. It was undoubtedly an unwise choice to confront the Eternal Beast Mountain head-on. Although the Yaochi Holy Land has been passed down for a long time and has good relations with the royal family, the Eternal Beast Mountain would not be impudent, but if its interests were involved, these crazy people would
The ferocious beast can do anything.
But Bai Zeyu is too important to Yaochi Holy Land. It is related to whether the Saint Master can break through the barrier of silence for thousands of years and break into the Martial Saint Realm in one fell swoop. Therefore, the Holy Land is bound to be won by Bai Zeyu. If not for the Saint Master who is in the
At the critical moment of retreat, it is really possible to come to the Black Stone Spine in person.
"You don't have to worry about anything. There are a lot of things in this treasure appraisal conference that can tempt Eternal Beast Mountain. Once a melee breaks out, they will have many opponents to consider, and we will have room to operate."
"Don't worry, Holy Aunt, Mu Rou won't cause any trouble for you."
The Holy Aunt showed a very bitter smile and said with pity: "Mu Rou, you don't have to be cautious all the time, and you don't have to be too considerate of others. You...sigh...forget it, your temper is annoying.
Love and hate.
I heard the second elder say that if Bai Zeyu gets it, the saint will take you to retreat together, and use the holy breath in it to completely seal your worldly love, so that you will no longer be disturbed by the demons in the world, and let you become a qualified and perfect holy place.
successor."
"Well, Mu Rou will listen to her mentor's arrangements."
"Well, there are still more than thirty days left before the Treasure Appraisal Conference. You take a few days off for the time being. I will accompany you to various urban areas, visit this thousand-year-old city, and buy some magical instruments and medicinal materials. Just treat it as yours.
The last nostalgia before severing the ties of worldly love, in the future... maybe there will be no chance." The holy aunt tried her best to smile, but she felt more and more distressed in her heart.
Mu Rou's talent is astonishing, but her temperament is too kind. She always thinks about others and cares about others, which makes people love and hate her. This time, the saint had no choice but to use Bai Zeyu's breath to cut off Mu Rou.
The worldly love turned into a true saint without any emotions or desires!
"Yeah, okay. Would you like to invite the second elder to join us?"
"Forget it, Second Elder, you don't know what kind of person she is? She's as cold as ice, and she can't bear to make noise. I just went to see her and was taking a bath in the bathroom, so I said four things
In one or three sentences, she was complaining that the black stone Gobi had stained her body with dust, and she was going to take a bath for three or two days."
Not far from the small courtyard where Mu Rou was, there was a hot spring-style bathhouse. Because the most expensive and glamorous second elder wanted to take a bath, no one dared to move around. Even the vigilant disciples were afraid of this inside-out man.
The elder looked cold, so he deliberately avoided this place.
but……
Under the bright moonlight, in the soft flowerbed, a small, three-legged toad jumped forward, looking around cautiously from time to time, and approached the closed bathroom step by step.
"Hey, Yixie, get ready, we'll be here soon." The deep voice of the three-legged toad rang out from the space in the toad's belly.
Tang Yan suddenly smiled: "Thank you, it's all thanks to you this time. I'll introduce you to a swan another day when I have time."
"It's a good thing anyway, just take a look. Come on, I can't wait."
"Be prepared, I will just stick my head in and send you out immediately."
"Okay! Always ready."
A wicked smile appeared on the face of the three-legged toad, and he stepped closer to the corner of the bathroom. After checking that no one was around, his body glowed with a bright blue-purple halo. It looked very soft, but in fact it was all extremely fine.
arc.
Little by little, its head probed towards the protective stone wall. The tough rock seemed to melt silently after touching the blue fluorescence. Let its head pass through the wall. The scene was like
Like a profound body-penetrating arcana, it didn't make any movement, and even the energy fluctuations were very subtle.
Soon, the three-legged toad stuck its head in, glanced at the foggy space, opened its mouth, and spit out Tang Yan, then turned around and ran towards Sa YaZi outside the courtyard.
