The old woman in the palace woke up earlier than usual and asked for breakfast earlier than usual, so when she got up to eat, the sun had not yet risen in Luoyang.
The old woman had a good appetite. After eating a bowl of porridge and a bowl of fish ball soup, she even added another bowl of porridge.
When the second bowl of porridge was brought to her, she asked a young palace maid outside the door to come to her, and then motioned for the young palace maid to sit down opposite her.
"They all went to Shangqiu, why do you want to stay here?"
The old woman added a spoonful of sugar to the bowl of pumpkin porridge and slowly stirred it. During the process, she studied the eyebrows of the young palace maid in front of her, and then said: "Logically speaking, even if you don't go to Shangqiu, you
You shouldn't stay in Luoyang either. If the Demon Sect comes to Luoyang and he doesn't kill you, his followers will probably be the first to think of killing you."
The young palace maid's face was very calm, and she said: "Probably because you are in Luoyang."
The old woman suddenly laughed and said, "Is your name Helan Heiyun?"
The young palace maid nodded and said, "Yes."
The old woman looked at her with some satisfaction. She slowly drank the slightly sweet pumpkin porridge, and then said: "Talk to me."
"good."
This young woman dressed as a palace maid was none other than Helan Heiyun. She was not nervous, nor did she feel that she had nothing to say. She even scooped out a bowl of fish ball soup from the stone pot, drank it slowly, and
Then he said: "I know that Zhongshan Wang Yuanying and others didn't want me to live at first, but it was your wish later that I survived."
The old woman glanced at her and said with a smile: "To be honest, I'm a little surprised that you even found out such a thing, but if you want to repay your kindness, then there's no need. You were originally a subordinate of the Demon Sect, and we are very responsible for it.
Dangerous enemy, you can survive because I am surprised by your willpower, and I think you will be valuable if you survive."
"If you talk about repaying your kindness, that's enough."
Helan Heiyun was drinking fish ball soup. She felt it was a bit bland, and found that there was only sugar and no salt on the table, so she poured a bowl of fish ball soup into her mouth in one gulp, chewed it twice and swallowed it.
Go on, "It's just that at least I learned a lot in this process. I know that some people may not always fulfill their promises, but with some people... it's not necessary
promise."
"That's natural."
The old woman was a little proud, "Yuanshi never treats her friends badly."
"Lord Demon Sect has always thought that you are very scary." Helan Heiyun frowned slightly. She became serious and said softly: "He thinks very highly of you. Although he thinks you are too old and your cultivation level is at most comparable to Nantian's.
It is impossible for the Three Saints to surpass the Three Saints of Nantian. Because you are too old, he feels that you cannot defeat any of the Three Saints of Nantian in terms of combat power. But he feels that the exercises you know are more effective than many cultivation methods.
His understanding may be greater than that of the Three Saints of the South. Until the past two years, he specially helped you find elixirs that would help you live longer, just because he was afraid that you would imitate Shen Yue and suddenly take him away from this world."
The old woman seemed to find it a little funny. She pursed her lips, shook her head, and said: "This person from the Demon Sect is smart, but he is too sharp."
"If you don't deny it, that means his guess is correct."
Helan Heiyun looked at her and said: "Logically speaking, if you want to go to Kill the Demon Sect, you should also go to Shangqiu, but you just stayed in Luoyang."
The old woman stopped her smile and said, "So this is also the reason why you stay here."
Helan Heiyun nodded and said: "So I think you may not necessarily think that killing the Demon Sect is the most important thing. In other words, there are more important things here that need you to deal with."
The old woman didn't speak. She just imitated the way Helan Heiyun had just swallowed the fish ball soup, drank all the pumpkin porridge in the bowl, and then said: "Go on."
"This kind of massacre of ordinary soldiers... is not what the Demon Sect likes. Even if he wants to keep killing people to replenish his true energy, he will not use such a stupid method." Helan Heiyun looked at her and said more seriously: "The Demon Sect
He is smarter than any of his people, including me, so since it is something I can think of, he must also think of it."
The old woman was somewhat impressed, "So, do you think there is anyone in this world who can force him to do something he doesn't like to do?"
"He has truly become the only saint in the world, which is logically impossible." Helan Heiyun said: "But the truth is not as good as the fact. Since he did this, it means that someone can really force him to do something he doesn't like.
.”
"Back then... before the capital was moved to Luoyang, something happened in those important towns in the north.
It makes me feel that something is wrong, I always feel that some people seem to be secretly watching the world from a high position."
The old woman also became serious. She raised her head and glanced at the sky outside, and then said: "It's just that after many years of checking, those people have never revealed anything. I'm afraid it's only now that these people finally can't help but show up in front of me."
Within sight."
Helan Heiyun was a little shocked and said: "You know..."
"I don't know." The old woman interrupted her words neatly and said: "But now I should be able to conclude that the power that makes me feel uneasy and doesn't seem to exist really exists, and it should be the force that forces the Demon Sect.
people."
"So what I thought of has already been thought of by you." Helan Heiyun took a deep breath and said, "I asked Xiao Donghuang to arrange for me to come to the palace to meet you because I felt that I knew the Demon Sect better than you.
.”
The old woman really laughed. She even looked at Helan Heiyun with some affection and said, "Actually, you wouldn't appear in this palace without my intention."
Helan Heiyun was slightly startled.
The old woman looked into her eyes and said: "I just told you that I let you live before because I was surprised by your willpower and ability to endure pain. I said you are very useful. Of course,
You are still very young, and your character and views on the world are not stable in my opinion, and there is even the possibility of endless changes. But at least so far, you are very satisfactory to me."
Helan Heiyun's brows frowned deeply. She was silent for a breath, and then asked: "What are you going to ask me to do?"
The old woman looked at her calmly and said: "Inherit the powerful power I gave you. In my opinion, this power is probably the power that the other party wants to seize after using the Demon Sect to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Helan Heiyun's breathing paused slightly, and she thought of a possibility, "It will be painful to use this kind of power, and it requires strong willpower?"
"It's very unbearable," said the old woman.
Helan Heiyun had countless questions in his mind at this time, and the old woman knew it very well.
She glanced at the sky, then at the Helan black clouds, then stood up and said, "Come with me."
