As soon as Yu Yao and Quan Wuyong entered the door, Quan Zhongtian greeted him: "How is it?"

Quan Wuyong begged him: "Master-uncle-hello."

Quan Zhongtian was a little embarrassed, and looked at the two of them: "Then please sit down first, have a cup of tea and wash away the wind, you have worked hard all the way."

But Yu Yao stopped him and told him: "Don't worry, everything is still going according to plan."

Quan Zhongtian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Yu Yao for thinking about him. The dark circles under his eyes showed that the master was really tired.

They sat down, and Yu Yao gave a general account of the situation along the way, which Quan Zhongtian and Quan Feiyan could understand.

After listening, Quan Zhongtian asked: "Before you set off to East Lake, you wrote a letter saying that you would set up this formation, and that there are formations in the four worlds, and the last formation is in my Beihai. Since you went, we have been in Looking for it, I have found a place in Yehuachi, Xianglong Town, where I can make an array. But the problem is, I don’t know why, it’s hard for me to start an array, so I have to wait for you to come back.”

Yu Yao nodded. The way to set up the formation has never been taught to the Quan family, so it's normal if they can't do it.He stood up: "It's not too late, junior brother comes with me, let's go and spread the last bit."

Quan Wuyou stood up and followed.

He had just taken two steps when Minghuo running from the door bumped into his leg. The little Minghuo was pulling at Yu Yao's trousers, his big black eyes were blinking watery.

Unable to hold back, Yu Yao knelt down and picked him up, scraped his face with her fingers, opened his mouth, touched his shrunken but fierce and sharp teeth that did not belong to a puppy, and then woke up. Put him on the ground: "You are a mature dog, you should go by yourself."

So Minghuo whined pitifully twice, and followed at his feet.

Ye Huachi is in the Lu family of a large merchant. Quan Zhongtian had discussed with the Lu family earlier, and the Lu family agreed to give up the place and allow the children of the Quan family to live in his house.

When Yu Yao arrived, he exchanged greetings with the master of the Lu family and thanked each other.

Everything went very smoothly. After the formation was completed, Yu Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Next, he had to wait for the people from those three places to come back and wait for the eighth day of September.

***

At night, Yu Yao went back to the room early, went to bed, covered the quilt and closed her eyes.

Just about to fall asleep, I heard someone knocking on the door.

Yu Yao got up with a candle and opened the door. The door was Quan Zhongtian.

Quan Zhongtian bowed his body: "I'm really sorry for bothering you late at night."

Yu Yao invited someone in and closed the door: "No need."

He couldn't bear to see Quan Zhongtian's haggard look, he was afraid that he had a lot to worry about in Beihai.

Quan Zhongtian was wearing pajamas, he looked like he woke up after going to bed, and sat at the table with his coat on.

Yu Yao also came over, inserted the candle into the candlestick, and scratched her hair: "If you have anything to say, just tell me, I'm really sleepy."

Quan Zhongtian raised his eyes: "I remember the letter you sent the first time, saying that this ground-bound strangling formation is a killing formation, and the other end is summoned to scold and pour, and people need to be sacrificed. Then..."

Quan Zhongtian stopped talking suddenly.

The candle flickered.

Yu Yao smiled: "What?"

Quan Zhongtian looked at him again: "I wish..."

Yu Yao raised his hand to interrupt him: "You don't have to, you have to worry about the Quan family's affairs, and you have to deal with the Beihai affairs after the war, so you don't have to argue with me on this matter."

Quan Zhongtian opened his mouth: "You mean..."

Yu Yao smiled and moved the candlestick to the side: "I shouldn't have appeared here in the first place, no matter what the blunders are, in short, this is what I want to do, and this is what I want to do when I come back. the goal of."

Quan Zhongtian frowned, looking very distressed.

Yu Yao approached him and smiled reassuringly: "You Tang, you and I are both adults, and each has a position to be responsible for others. Of course, we should make the most suitable choice, and we don't have to feel too guilty."

Quan Zhongtian was silent.

Yu Yao looked up at him: "I want to ask, is it you who called me back?"

Quan Zhongtian paused for a moment: "Are you asking Quan Qingfeng?"

Yu Yao nodded.

"No." Quan Zhongtian replied, "According to our plan, Quan Qingfeng should have been summoned. We don't even know if you are alive or not. After all, when the defection happened, Qijin was defeated, and news about your sudden death spread all over the sky. yes……"

Yu Yao nodded: "So the person who summoned me knows that I am not dead and knows where I am." He fell into deep thought, "Why did he summon me?"

Quan Zhongtian raised his eyes: "Could it be... some people who are deeply obsessed with Qijin..."

Yu Yao glanced at him.

Quan Zhongtian continued: "You also know that those who are interested in Qijin..."

Yu Yao rolled up his right sleeve, and there was a red vertical line on it, which grew rapidly: "I don't have time to find out who it is now, but for the normal progress of the ceremony, we have to be more careful next. Quan Qingfeng didn't fully Annihilation, when the time comes, you send some people to my place to watch, after I sacrifice, don't let Quan Qingfeng regain his body."

Quan Zhongtian nodded.

Yu Yao pushed back his left sleeve, and there was still a dot of green there: "This person should be the Xiaoxiu who offered his soul at that time, and I will return my body to him after I leave."

Quan Zhongtian lowered his head.

Yu Yao poured herself a cup of tea: "It's logical that it's not my turn to talk about the Quan family's affairs. But..."

He paused and looked at Quan Zhongtian.

Quan Zhongtian clenched his hands nervously.

Yu Yao smiled, and said in a soft tone, "However, as a colleague of the way of cultivating immortals, a senior in cultivation, you can just listen to me."

Quan Zhongtian swallowed dryly, his face was almost full of confusion, facing this face that had just reached the crown, he was seriously humbled, he looked at another person through the figure of this Quan family junior.

Yu Yao sighed: "Whether one can become an immortal is really a matter of good fortune. There is no god town in the North Sea, and people should be heroes and become heroes. The lintel of the Quan family is glorious, and by refining the evil way, you may be at ease for a while, but The door is high and the road is far away. How do the disciples in the door escape from the mortal world and open the fairy door? The people of Beihai may be safe for a while. Trampling on others. Refining evil spirits, going down the road, harming others and eventually harming oneself."

Quan Zhongtian lowered his eyes.

Yu Yao smiled wryly: "Of course, I say this because I have been a fairy, so I can speak so easily."

Quan Zhongtian did not deny it.

Yu Yao looked at her hands: "Yes, being weak is the saddest thing."

Quan Zhongtian didn't look up.

"But," Yu Yao put down her hand and patted Quan Zhongtian's shoulder, "Simple things are not for us."

Quan Zhongtian suddenly raised his head, the words he had said to Yu Yao were returned to him intact, he opened his eyes, trying to find the shadow of himself on Yu Yao's face, the one who opposed refining evil, The self who devotes himself to cultivating Taoism, leading the powerful family, and inheriting the master's behest.

When did it start?It started with Quan Qingfeng easily doing what he couldn't do, starting with Quan Qingfeng protecting the people he couldn't protect, and starting with Quan Qingfeng saving the people he couldn't save.He stood in front of the powerful gate, whether it was Xianglong Formation or Beihai, they were all under attack, evil spirits flying from the sky, demons attacking from the ground, ordinary people who couldn't escape, those who escaped, those who were wounded, those who died, and those who were miserable. Death, it's all terrible.The appearance of Quan Qingfeng means that there will never be such casualties again, and his Beihai will always be safe and happy, and the only request is that Quan Zhongtian turn his face away, don't watch those evil howls, don't Pay attention to the sad fate of innocent people being chosen by the Shaman.

This is the price of peace. This is a game between a small number of people and a large number of people.

Quan Zhongtian told himself that difficult choices also need to be made by people, and wicked people need someone to make them.

Well, he does it.

He looked at Yu Yao, the legendary seven-gold old fairy who had lost his mana, and Beihai's ex-glory, who was unwilling to revive his soul with his tattered golden elixir, was as powerless as a waste, just like himself.

... No, not the same.

He was there that day, fighting with his broken Qi and running with his weak body.Repelled... the intruder.

Seeing him standing still for a long time, Yu Yao called him softly, "Uncle Quan?"

Quan Zhongtian reacted suddenly, collected himself, and asked deeply: "The weak cannot guard the precious land."

Yu Yao spread his hands: "Then become stronger, or use more brains."

Quan Zhongtian opened his mouth, he had so much to say, he blamed Yu Yao for being too relaxed, too smooth, and he didn't understand the powerlessness of ordinary people.But he couldn't say anything to Shangyu Yao's frank eyes.

He finally just sighed.

Yu Yao looked at him patiently.

Quan Zhongtian wearily raised his hand to hold his forehead, he seemed to be aging rapidly, and remained silent.

The candle flame burned to the end, and besides the yellow light, there was still scorched fire dancing.

Quan Zhongtian raised his eyelids, stared at the burning candle, and spoke softly.

"It must take a lot of courage to become you."

Yu Yao glanced at him.

"I'm old. I've turned my head back for so many years, and I still keep things as usual after his death. The extent to which I hate him is unimaginable to anyone who isn't from the Quan family. I thought I was standing in the way of the Quan family and Quan Qingfeng In between, it stands between the person I want to protect and the evil. But there is no such clear boundary, right..." Quan Zhongtian smiled wryly, "I have assimilated a long time ago."

Yu Yao didn't speak.

Quan Zhongtian sat up straight, looked at Yu Yao, smiled, with indescribable helplessness and bitterness: "I'm sorry, it's you who are going to sacrifice yourself to protect the homeland, and it's you who have always insisted on your heart. You are the one who has worked so hard, but it seems that I am the one who has been wronged when I speak like this."

Yu Yao scratched her head and smiled indifferently.

The candle burnt out, the candle light dimmed, the candle flickered and struggled for the last time, and then went out with a bang, at the moment when the light went out, Quan Zhongtian muttered to himself again.

"It takes a lot of courage to become you..."

***

When Ling Xing came back, Yu Yao had already fallen asleep.

When he came to the door, he was travel-stained and hurried on the road day and night, dragging Lin Wuyang on the road, and finally came back.Lin Wuyang was still at the entrance of the town, Ling Xing thought that there would be no danger in Xianglong Town, so she left Lin Wuyang and ran back.

He gently opened the door and closed it gently. He was supposed to sleep in the bed given to him in the outer room, but walked to Yu Yao's bed in a strange way.

When he got to bed, he didn't know what to do again.

So Ling Xing stood by the bed, turned around and walked away, thought for a while, then walked back, moved closer to the bed, and squatted down.

He whispered: "I'm back."

The sleeping Yu Yao didn't wake up, Ling Xing stood up slowly after finishing speaking, and walked out softly.

There was a sound on the bed, and Yu Yao rubbed her eyes and sat up.

Ling Xing froze for a moment, then turned her head.

Yu Yao, who had just woken up, saw who was coming, and immediately laughed.

"You're back."

Ling Xing's heart was scratched severely by the soft paw.

He repeated it again, this time with a smile in his tone: "I'm back."
