Senior sister's ruthless ways are crazy and sassy

Generally speaking, phoenixes are called male and female. In this article, I am too lazy to distinguish them, so I call them both together.

From now on, when writing about Song Mingfeng’s team, I will call them junior brothers uniformly (lazy). When I call them separately, I will call them junior sisters and junior brothers.

Finally out of the tower, 7,000 words! worn out!

------

That huge body appeared on the battlefield, and all the disciples gathered together, their disguises removed.

Lu Lingyou suddenly said: "I remembered, the war between the three realms...the demon clan was defeated miserably. It turned out to be because the demon clan found the four great beasts!"

The fire created by Suzaku was blocked by the protective shield, but it was only for a moment. The heat wave continued to burn the protective shield, and it was repaired by the seal of Shengru Tower.

Yanqu asked: "What about the human race?"

If the human race is also defeated, the world should be full of demon cultivators in the days to come.

Lu Lingyou had a trace of confusion on his face.

Heng Jing held the sword: "Although Senior Yu Xianzi has fallen, at that time, the human race already had rising stars..." There was also an expression on his face that was difficult to describe.

Yanqu wondered: "Why do you only speak half of what you say?"

Heng Jing glanced at him: "For example, Immortal Yantu, Immortal Changning of your Xuantian Sect... they should all have grown up by this time..."

"Ah." Yan Qu opened his mouth blankly, "You mean, we can probably... maybe see them when they were young?"

Although the people of the previous generation have had the same appearance for many years, being able to see what they looked like when they were young... was such a strange experience, it's no wonder that the faces of these two people were so tangled.

Among the demon clan that collapsed and fled, this group of weapons-wielding auras was truly eye-catching.

After a cry, the red bird hovering in the sky swooped down towards them.

The heat wave broke through the protective shield, and the disciples of Shengru Tower quickly formed seals. Queshan also quickly sacrificed the magic weapon, and a golden magic circle rose again in front of the crowd.

The bloodline suppression of the divine beast has banned the skills of the Beast King's eldest disciple, and only this group of swordsmen and swordsmen can fight.

Ning Yuchuan sat on the ground and placed the piano on his knees. The sound of the piano sounded. The green magic circle centered on him and involved all the disciples present. The disciples were lightly covered with a green light shield.

All the Dharma lights lit up at the same time and hit Suzaku.

Suzaku turned around to avoid the attack, but his wing was hit with a hole, forcing him to stop his attack plan.

A whistle sounded in the distance.

Suzaku glanced at the disciples below, and then flew in the direction of the demons.

The demon clan's team was separated by a gap.

A carriage pulled by four white horses with wings on their shoulders slowly appeared in front of the crowd.

He is dressed in red and has black hair, with a restrained aura. There is a black bird on his shoulder.

The people in the car leaned lazily on their seats, their faces bright and bright. They only glanced in the direction of the disciples and then turned to the human race.

That face is familiar to all sect disciples.

It's Xu Tong.

The Jindan realm cannot see through his cultivation level, but Xu Tong, who is as famous as Yu Xianzi, cannot be at the God Transformation realm.

They can't beat it.

The disciples of Shengru Tower also saw Xu Tong's face clearly, and some couldn't help but ask: "Why does this devil appear in this secret realm!"

No one could answer his question.

Several white lights suddenly lit up behind the human race, and finally stayed in the sky.

"Xutong, you actually made the mythical beast look like this, you deserve to be killed!"

Xu Tong clasped his fingers on the crow's feathers on his shoulders and snorted softly when he heard the words: "My dear Yantu, Yu Xianzi is no longer here, how dare you say such a thing."

The disciples underneath all knew the person standing in the air.

Chang Ning's expression was cold, and compared to Chang Ning's face a thousand years later, there was still a bit of immaturity in his brows now.

But he also stood behind Yan Tu with his sword in hand: "Xutong, this is not a place for you to run wild."

"Oh, Yu Xianzi has fallen, and you, the new leader of the righteous way, speak in the same rigid manner as her. It's boring."

The outcome of a fight between big guys is never won with words.

Coercion was emitted at the same time, and all the disciples below bent down and spit out a mouthful of blood.

A man suddenly appeared in front of the crowd, wearing a blue coat and a turban, with a silver-threaded Big Dipper on his cuffs. He was Ruan Wei, the patriarch of Shengru Tower.

He stood with two fingers in front of him and held out a talisman. The golden fire ignited the talisman, and the disciples were covered with a layer of golden light.

He turned his head and looked at the young disciples in the crowd who were also in blue.

The spiritual energy of these young human disciples is very pure, and they are incompatible with this world full of impurities. There are also things they are good at... Ruan Wei did not ask them where they came from or which sect they studied under.

Yantu Changning and Xu Tong were already fighting in the sky. Ruan Wei also formed seals in his hands, and several talismans were suspended around him, and then flew towards the three people in the air.

There was one attached to Yan Tu and Chang Ning each, and several more standing in all directions of Xu Tong. Red blood lines were generated, tying him up.

Yan Tu and Chang Ning held the secret in their hands, and their swords burst out with huge spiritual energy and struck Xu Tong.

The white tiger behind the demon clan suddenly roared and dispersed the sword energy that struck down.

A green light shrouded Xu Tong's body.

Yan Tu practiced the technique again: "Xuanwu? You actually refined them all?"

The magic circle ignited a black fire, Xu Tong was free again, and the crow on his shoulders grew larger in the air.

He smiled: "A bunch of beasts, I have conquered them and they will be used by me. Do you want to try? I have always been very tolerant of pets."

Xuanwu was famous for its defense, and the protective shield Yan Tu and the two were difficult to cut apart.

Chang Ning thought for a moment, and executed the spell together with Yan Tu. The sword in his hand was suspended in the air, and turned into a sword array as the spell was activated.

The sky was filled with buzzing long swords, which were struck towards Xu Tong under the influence of the magic formula.

The aura belonging to the leader of the swordsmanship caused the swords of his disciples to vibrate, and they seemed to want to escape from their master's hands and join the battlefield.

Yan Qu covered his chest: "Is this the master?"

It was the first time I saw Chang Ning's moves, which were more murderous than Song Mingfeng's light sword.

Ruan Wei quickly formed a seal in his hand, and a red magic circle was divided into four, forming a wall to surround Xu Tong.

The sword formation also arrived in front of Xu Tong at the same time.

"Boom——"

The sword formation and the magic formation erupted at the same time, and a line of blood-red smoke filled the air.

Yun Ci raised his head, looked at the phoenix on the branch, and asked in a low voice: "Are you the phoenix next to Yu Xianzi?"

"Yes." The Phoenix lowered his head and looked at Yun Ci, "Yuxianzi told me to wait for you. It has been a thousand years, and you are finally here."

Without waiting for Yun Ci's reply, he continued: "A thousand years is too long, Yun Ci, why did you come here?"

"I..." Yun Ci was speechless. The way of heaven was indescribable. She couldn't explain why she came now. She could only ask, "Why did Yu Xianzi want you to wait for me?"

Only Yun Ci had experienced the illusion in Dragon City, and no one else knew about it.

None of the four people present thought that Yun Cihui would interact with the Phoenix from a thousand years ago.

Only Wen Yinzhi and Xi Xingyuan suddenly thought that Yun Ci disappeared for a while after the teleportation array was activated.

"She asked me to give you something, and asked me to bring you a sentence." Phoenix's voice became lower and lower, but it was still very gentle, as gentle as Yu Xianzi.

As if recalling the time spent with Yu Xianzi, Fenghuang was silent for a while.

The only sound that could be heard in the entire space was the sound of leaves blown by the wind.

"Yu Xianzi said that all experiences are destined. Don't hate or complain. Keep your original intention and mission and move forward. She will help you." Phoenix finally spoke, "She asked me to tell you that you The way is right, but you are not alone."

Yun Ci had tears in his eyes: "Why did she die?"

Why did that dashing genius who could see through everything in the world fail to attain enlightenment?

"Obviously she has half-stepped the path to enlightenment, why did she fail?"

Phoenix shook his head and transformed into a human form in the golden light.

The fiery red feathers turned into gorgeous clothes, the cuffs were made of feathers stacked one after another, and the skirt was long and hanging down. Her black hair was coiled on a branch, and there was a fiery red phoenix mark between her eyebrows.

There was a ruby ​​gourd hanging on His right hand, with tassels made of green silk threads swaying in the wind. He asked, "Do you want to have another taste of this wine? It should taste better after being immersed in it for a thousand years."

The ruby ​​gourd was thrown away by him, and Yun Ci took it, opened it and drank it.

The wine is mellow and fragrant. After time, it is no longer as spicy as it was at the beginning.

Phoenix spoke amid the aroma of wine and answered the question just now.

Everyone's millennium-old doubts about why Yu Xianzi died were solved: "She did not fail. She succeeded in attaining enlightenment a thousand years ago."

But Yu Xianzi still fell in full view of the public.

"She succeeded in attaining enlightenment and was only one step away from ascending to immortality. But she saw something before that." Fenghuang lowered his eyes, "Yun Ci, what she saw was you, you in a thousand years."

Before a monk ascends, he will be able to break through time and space, and he can know the past and the future.

Yu Xianzi saw Yun Ci at that time, not the Yun Ci that Xiao Bailong would see, but the Yun Ci a thousand years later.

Yun Ci, who had no father or mother and lived by his own will, was finally taken in by Chang Ning, whom he had mentored.

It was then that she discovered that everything was destined.

It turns out that the outcome has already been determined by cause and effect.

She chose the wrong answer, and before she died, she kept Phoenix behind just to tell Yun Ci not to hate after a thousand years.

There were many things that couldn't be said. Phoenix lowered his eyes to see Yun Ci with tears in his eyes, and sighed: "Her death was her choice and had nothing to do with you. You don't have to blame yourself. It's just Yun Ci, you are not alone. You have many partners around you now, and just like what Yu Xianzi said, you have to move forward courageously and don’t look back.”

"This is the Yun Ci she wants to see.

"For my selfish reasons, please take her way and prove it together."

As Yu Xianzi said, Yun Ci is no longer alone now. She has a partner and no longer has to carry it alone.

She has like-minded friends who will accompany her to become famous all over the world.

"I will." Yun Ci's hand holding the gourd trembled slightly, "I will succeed, don't worry."

Phoenix tilted his head slightly and put his hand on the sycamore tree: "This sacred tree is the only one in the world." The tree trunk opened a hole, revealing a fiery red egg inside, "My strength can no longer stop my nirvana. Pan Huo, Yun Ci, help me take care of my child, and take this sycamore tree as a thank you gift."

As soon as he finished speaking, fire ignited from the hem of his skirt. He stared at Yun Ci closely, and suddenly gave a gentle smile when the fire light engulfed him.

The fire gradually dissipated, dissipating into the air with His last words: "Thank you."

There was a sword floating in front of Yun Ci.

The flowing water lines formed by gilding are wrapped around the white sword body, and two characters are engraved in small seals on the clean spine.

Falling rain.

The sycamore tree that blocked out the sky turned into a round bead and penetrated into the sea of ​​​​Yunci.

Yun Ci looked at it intently, and saw a small sycamore tree growing in the originally clean sea of ​​​​consciousness. The crown of the tree formed a nest shape, surrounding an egg.

The fiery red eggshell is engraved with a golden phoenix totem.

Watching a phoenix fall and knowing the reason for Yu Xianzi's fall, everyone present was silent.

As a disciple of Kunlun Mountain, Wen Yinzhi rarely showed a trace of melancholy.

He asked: "Tao, what on earth is it?"

Countless monks have perished in order to attain enlightenment, and in the end they have died without even a single reincarnation.

Only their disciples can remember them.

Yun Ci's death was not the cause of Yu Xianzi's death. It was not her fault. Yun Ci had not yet been born when Yu Xianzi was alive.

This is cosianzi's own choice.

Even Yu Xianzi doesn't blame her, and others are naturally not qualified to put unnecessary moral shackles on Yun Ci.

Yun Ci held the gourd in his hand and said nothing. Ji Peng turned his head slightly and looked at her silently.

She was the one who stabilized Yang Languo's Taoist heart at the beginning. Everything comes and goes. He coughed lightly: "Yuxianzi said that her choice is none of your business, so don't take it to heart. Take her Taoism with you." Let’s go prove it together.”

Yun Ci smiled and said, "I know." She had always been sober, and the only time her emotions took over her rationality only happened once in Xunlong City.

Phoenix told her that she was not alone now, and she also had friends.

There is no need to fight alone without a destination like in the previous life.

She couldn't tell what happened in her previous life, so she could only whisper: "It's my honor to have you all walking with me. Thank you very much."

Suddenly receiving a thank you from Yun Ci, the four people present had more or less received help from her. This thank you made them feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhong Changxu stretched out his hand and patted Yun Ci's shoulder. He stopped his efforts and did not slap the banging sound: "Since we are friends, we should support you all the way, right? Thank you. This is a lot of words."

There were only a few of them left in the vast white space. Xi Xingyuan tapped his palm with his fan, interrupting the sensational scene: "Since this space has expired, should we go find our junior brother?"

Yes, I don’t know where their junior brother is yet.

"Cleave this space, they are outside." Wen Yinzhi drew his sword, "I can feel that there are more than one of them outside, so be prepared."

A sword cut through the void, and when the vast white space shattered like a revolving lantern, the beginning of the Three Realms War emerged.

Several people seemed to have experienced a time and space journey. From the space, they saw the initially harmonious three realms becoming suspicious and jealous of each other, and finally met each other with swords.

Blood-red mist filled the entire sky, and the five people quickly took out their magic weapons and stayed in the air.

"It's senior sister/senior brother!" A disciple below shouted in surprise.

Before the five of them had time to look down, they saw a large red mandala spread out in the red mist, and a figure gradually emerged from the mist.

"Is this the only ability?" A black dharma form grew out, with a black head and unicorn horns all over its body. It was in the shape of a vagabond with a half-open collar, holding a long sword, and beneath it a huge bird spread its wings and stayed in the sky. " It’s really embarrassing for Yu Xianzi to be his protégé.”

Fa Xiang waved his sword, and Chang Ning and Yan Tu in front retreated at the same time, and a golden Fa Xiang appeared behind them.

Chang Ning's appearance is like that of a gentle swordsman, with ribbons wrapped around his shoulders and the sword in his hand as if it has substance.

Behind Yan Tu was a judge with an angry look on his face, holding a palace lantern in one hand and issuing an order in the other.

The black law figure did not stop swinging the sword, and swung it towards the disciples below.

A blue dharma seal holding a compass and a star map floating behind him blocked the sword. It was Ruan Wei's dharma seal.

The swordsman and the judge attacked at the same time. The token drew a spell in the air, and the swordsman took the spell and slashed towards the black spell.

The Dharma in the sky is fighting the Dharma, and the people below are not idle either.

Xu Tong took out his knife, stepped on the black bird and stabbed Chang Ning first.

Chang Ning returned his sword to block, and when the swords collided, a line of spiritual energy condensed and hit Xu Tong's door.

Xu Tong rolled over and dodged, landing on the bird's back and pinching out a magic circle in his hand. Ruan Wei on the ground shot out a talisman to scatter it.

"Tsk, annoying."

Xu Tong sighed, and then regained his composure. This time the target was not Chang Ning, but Yun Ci and the others behind them.

The black energy turned into countless knives burning with black fire in mid-air. Chang Ning quickly turned around, but was stabbed into his left arm by a four-edged knife.

As the blood sprayed, Xu Tong smiled and said, "Boy, it's not good to be distracted by fighting."

Countless knives were blocked by Yun Ci and Xi Xingyuan's Nian Jue.

The knife was blocked in front of the blue and golden Dharma light, and the black fire spread. Yun Ci threw out the snow lamp: "Come out."

The ice and fire swallowed the black fire and the knife together.

"Hey, these brats still have something." As he spoke, Xu Tong couldn't be distracted, but he still paid attention to the movement on Yun Ci's side, "A few Nascent Soul brats, are you tired of living and join our battle?"

Since the Dharma can be summoned, the people on the battlefield are at least in the Fusion Realm. As Xu Tong said, if the Nascent Soul Realm joins their battle, he only needs a coercion to solve them.

A white figure appeared in the air holding the Xuezhongzhan. Wen Yinzhi held the sword and rushed towards Xu Tong with the Xuezhongzhan.

When Xu Tong condensed a black mist in front of him, one man and one sword spirit turned around at the same time and rushed straight into the demon camp below.

Golden talismans flew out one after another, overwhelmingly enveloping all the demons in one space.

Xu Tong, who was feinted by a move, felt a pain in his abdomen. Chang Ning took out his sword and shook off the blood on it: "It's not good to be distracted in a fight."

When the same words were said back, Xu Tong smiled angrily: "Very good."

The flying bird at his feet turned back to deal with Wen Yinzhi underneath, while he held the knife again. The black mist condensed on the knife, lengthening the blade.

Yan Tu also joined the battle with a sword.

The three of them fought back and forth.

Xu Tong was older than Chang Ning Yan Tu and the other two, and had deeper cultivation. In addition, Xu Tong had subdued the four great beasts, and he had added the power of the beasts to him. For a while, the two of them were unable to do anything against Xu Tong.

The four Dharma figures in the sky were still fighting. The black Dharma figure's hands transformed into two long swords. With each swing, red mandalas spread out and exploded in front of people.

Ruan Wei formed seals to resist, and at the same time offered talismans to assist Yan Tu and the others. His spiritual energy was consumed very quickly.

A golden spirit gathering array suddenly appeared at his feet, and the almost exhausted spiritual energy was quickly replenished. Ruan Wei turned his head and saw Xi Xingyuan who had arrived beside him from unknown time.

He was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly: "Thank you."

The poster said thank you to myself, but I don’t know how many years my life will be shortened.

Xi Xingyuan looked back at the Shengrulou disciples in the crowd. All the disciples immediately formed seals and formed a defensive formation with Ruan Wei at the same time.

They were disciples of Ruan Wei's sect, and they also learned Ruan Wei's mental methods.

Although it was just a golden elixir, Ruan Wei saved a lot of energy with their addition.

Ning Yuchuan played the piano again, and a piece of music he played made people's fighting spirit rise.

Sound repair is basically an auxiliary, which can increase the attack power of teammates and replenish the blue bars consumed by teammates.

Other disciples were unable to join, so they had to try their best to watch the duel between strong men and strive to realize a sword intention.

The disciples had the building masters Ruan Wei and Xi Xingyuan guarding the formation. Yun Ci held a living orchid and said to Ji Peng and Zhong Changxu: "Go and help Wen Yinzhi destroy those demons. Then try to find a way to deal with the divine beasts."

"how about you?"

"Me?" Yun Ci twisted his skills, and a half-man-high formation appeared behind him, "I'm going to deal with Xu Tong's appearance."

Yunci was good at dealing with Dharma Prime Minister. Although he didn't say it, Ji Peng and Zhong Changxu nodded and went straight to the demons below.

The talisman turned into a red light, trapping most of the demons on the ground. Wen Yinzhi and the three of them could kill most of the demons just like chopping vegetables.

Yun Ci recalled Xuezhongzhan and rushed to Xu Tong's Dharma image with her.

Compared with Qi Luo, who encountered very slow movements in the red valley, Xu Tong's method was more mature and there was no delay between actions.

He could even spare some energy from the three Dharma signs to stop Yun Ci and Xuezhongzhan's attack.

Mandalas kept exploding in front of him, forming long red ribbons trying to wrap around Yun Ci.

Yun Ci condensed a protective shield made of ice and fire around his body, and retreated slightly to avoid the sword swung by Dharma Prime.

The swordsman swung his sword to block the sword in front of Yun Ci, then raised his sword and split it. At this time, the judge drew a magic spell and hit the rogue in the chest.

A bright blue star map floats around Drifter, with countless bright stars twinkling.

One of the golden talismans shot out from the stars.

The runes flipped over, revealing Yun Ci flying towards the Dharma phase with the runes attached.

The azure magic circle rotated rapidly behind him, condensing several blue beams of light and shooting towards Drifter's eyes, and finally exploded in front of Drifter's eyes.

The light prompted the Drifter to subconsciously close his eyes, and the runes were attached to the Drifter's arm.

At the same time, the snow lamp also fell on the waist of the wanderer.

Shengkulan and Xuezhongzhan emitted light at the same time, one golden and one white, and quickly rotated around the arm and waist. The right hand was cut off by Shengkulan, and a large gash was cut out on the waist and abdomen.

The runes and spells were also activated on the Drifter while the Dharma was being repaired automatically, and the golden spell fire burned away large parts of the Drifter's chest.

Ice birds formed at Yun Ci's feet and flew to the front of the Drifter on the wind caused by the explosion. The magic circle floated behind him. Yun Ci held a living orchid and smiled at the Dharma Prime Minister.

This smile was filled with inexplicable pride.

Then Shengkulan drew a stroke on its eyes, and golden light formed a spell and exploded in the body of the Dharma.

The Dharma image dissipated, and Xu Tong suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.

Chang Ning took the opportunity to stab his chest with his sword.

Yan Tu sacrificed the palace lantern and tried to put him into the magic weapon.

"A few little kids just want to trap me." Xu Tong held the sword on his chest, blood spilled from the corners of his mouth. The demons underneath had been eliminated, and the four great beasts were also trapped by golden runes.

But he didn't care, and just slowly pulled the sword out of his chest. The red blood turned into a black mist: "I'm not done yet... I'm still far away from death."

"No!" Yan Tu put away the magic weapon and pulled Chang Ning back again and again, only having time to form a sword intent in mid-air.

The black fog exploded instantly and spread throughout the space.

Yun Ci was blown to the ground in mid-air.

Looking up again, the entire space turned into a vast expanse of white. There was a shallow layer of water on the ground, and there was only a transparent lotus in the middle.

The Chongming Bird stood next to him. The black evil that was first seen on his body was gone. His wings were full with golden light. He was standing next to the lotus and tilted his head slightly to look at Yun Ci.

Yun Ci lay on the ground and spit out blood. The dislocated bones in his body creaked and repaired themselves.

Enduring the pain, she sat on the ground and raised her head to look at Him.

Ripples appeared in the pool, and the reflection slowly emerged in Yun Ci, like looking into a mirror, but with some differences.

"Yun Ci" in front of him had a look of exhaustion on his face, and his spirit was covered by an aura of hostility.

"Yun Ci" looked at her, Yun Ci frowned.

She hates herself like this.

The reflection in front of him finally spoke and asked: "What is Tao?"

"Tao? What I cultivate is the Tao."

"What is Tao?"

Yun Ci frowned: "I am the Tao."

"What is Tao?"

After being asked the same question three times, Yun Ci was a little impatient. The injuries on her body had healed. She frowned: "My heart is my way, and what I want to do is my morality. What's wrong?"

The reflection looked at Yun Ci seriously and shook his head: "But someone will die because of what you want to do. Is this also your morality?"

The teacher died for her, the people in the village died because of her, Xiao Bailong died generously to pave the way for her, and even Yu Xianzi, who had only met once, failed to attain enlightenment because of her.

Countless people died because of Yun Ci.

The reflection asked: "Is this also your way?"

"My Tao," Yun Ci frowned, "they taught me. My predecessors died to prove the Tao, and if necessary, I can die generously. There will always be someone who keeps going with this belief.

“I will always remember their deaths.

“But that’s not what’s keeping me trapped.

"My moral conscience is clear, this is my way."

The reflection's brows gradually loosened, creating waves one after another centered on the two of them.

The reflection stretched out its hand, and the dead orchid turned into a small sword suspended in its hand.

It stared at the living orchid and suddenly laughed: "You are right, this is your way."

The human form gradually melted into the water, and it continued: "Yun Ci, live up to your moral principles."

The Chongming Bird chirped.

Yun Ci turned around to look. She had many questions, and finally she just asked: "Is what happened in the tower an illusion or have we returned to the past?"

At the second level of the inner demon level, Wen Yinzhi once said that there were indeed mortals who fell into demons. At the third level, Yun Ci discovered that internal force and spiritual energy operate in the same way.

"We've gone back to the past, right?"

Chong Mingniao nodded: "All of this is man-made. You can choose to change the past, or you can choose to stand still. It's your own decision."

"So that's it." Yun Ci suddenly realized, "What about the Three Realms War? Since it went back to the past, why don't they have this memory?"

"Everything in the world has its own truth." Chongming Bird lowered his head, and blood dripped into the lotus.

The lotus flowers in the pool rise and float in the air, and underneath is the nine-story glazed tower, while the Chongming bird turns into smoke to form patterns on the tower.

As it dissipated, Chong Mingniao said: "There is a reason why their memories are sealed."

The tower fell into Yun Ci's hands.

It is a small golden tower with purple smoke patterns. On the top of the tower is the transparent lotus, and in the center of the lotus is a lotus pod made of nine small golden beads.

The white space gradually dispersed, and Yun Ci was ejected from the secret realm.

A voice rang in my ears: "Congratulations on your luck."
