The male partner fell in front of my house again

The old man didn't seem to notice the sarcasm in this response, or deliberately ignored the tension in the atmosphere, and continued to stare deeply at Xiao Chenbing with her cloudy eyeballs, which contained eagerness.

"It's not so difficult, I just hope you can help me draw a sword."

Xiao Chenbing had no expression on his face, but he didn't refuse directly, he just asked, "You created this space?"

"No, this is a special barrier formed based on my memory, but it is not under my control, but a cage that traps me." The old man sighed, "You have also seen that the golden sea of ​​sand extends infinitely in all directions , There is no end to the world, and there is no breakthrough point."

Lin Zhou: "Senior, what do you mean we can't get out?"

The old man shook his head: "It's just that I can't get out."

"But we have been flying for a long time and have not been able to leave this desert... Ah, is it because of you?"

"As I said just now, I hope you can forgive an old man who has half-stepped into the coffin. I can't walk fast, so I can only find a way to keep you. Actually, it's nothing. It's just to let you see a scene similar to mine."

These words reminded Lin Zhou of the teleportation just now. If that is also called walking fast, can he be called disabled?

As if noticing his doubts, the old man patiently explained: "Before I met you, I had traveled a long distance. After all, this sea of ​​sand is a vast and boundless world to me, brought by Qiong Kun. You just happened to appear in a small corner of the world, and it is not easy to come to you."

Lin Zhou was stunned, thinking that this is really a bit bleak.

Trapped in a tedious space, wandering in a desert with no way out, with no one to see and nothing to do, if it were him, it is estimated that he would probably go in the direction of a mad philosopher forever.

"Hey, don't be too sympathetic, this person is not simple." Axi sensed his emotional fluctuations, and quickly warned.

Lin Zhou was a little helpless: "Is this the kind of person I am in your heart?"

"No." Axi answered without thinking, "but you are such a monster."

Lin Zhou: "..."

He quickly recalled his short career as a demon, and found that there were so many experiences of saving lives that could be regarded as overflowing with sympathy. Feeling speechless.

But he really didn't relax his vigilance towards the old man, and he just expressed his feelings after listening to the other party's words.With Xu Qingchen's precedent, even ordinary friends have to be careful, let alone this kind of old lady who suddenly appeared and came from unknown sources, only missing the words "I'm suspicious" written on her face.

And in this brief gap, the negotiation between Xiao Chenbing and the old man was coming to an end.Because the old man would not let them go if he didn't help draw the sword, and Xiao Chenbing was not sure that he could deal with the opponent—after all, judging from the ability shown by the old man, her level of cultivation was definitely higher than his own—— The end result is a compromise between the two parties.

The old man made a vow to lock the spirits, promising to let them leave safely as soon as things were done; after obtaining this guarantee, Xiao Chenbing also agreed to help her.

"Come with me, and I will take you to where the sword is."

After saying this, the old man waved his sleeves and turned around. The next moment, she had already appeared a hundred paces away, her figure was indeed ghostly.

Xiao Chenbing's eyes were dark, he was about to follow up, but suddenly thought of something, and whispered: "Help me up."

In fact, without Xiao Chenbing's reminder, Lin Zhou had already grasped his shoulders familiarly, which can be regarded as a model of familiarity once and twice.

As for the laugh with a strong sense of ridicule in his mind, he naturally selectively ignored it.

*****

I don't know how long it has passed, but they finally reached their destination.

The sand sea is still the same sand sea, except that there is a rusty dark blue long sword standing on the slightly arched sand dunes.

The old man guided them to land next to the long sword. Almost at the same time as they landed, the surrounding scene changed instantly, and the golden and boundless land disappeared without a trace, replaced by a small dark cave.

Lin Zhou inexplicably felt that this place was very similar to the cave where the protagonist in a martial arts novel would encounter when he fell off a cliff.

Looking around, there is indeed a scrawny body on the stone platform in the center of the grotto, but it is not a common image of sitting, but lying on the platform with its eyes closed, with a painful expression on its chest, and a long fist on its chest. The sword runs through.

The shape of the long sword is almost exactly the same as the one in the desert, and it is also covered with spots of rust. I don't know if it has been like this since the beginning, or because it has been spent in this place for too long.

Lin Zhou compared the facial features and appearance of the body with the old man around him, and noticed the aura blending between the two, and felt that he understood the reason for Fangji's ghost—maybe she is a real ghost!

Out of the body, this is a supernatural power that can only be mastered after reaching the realm of the sea of ​​clouds.The monks in the Sea of ​​Clouds Realm have imprinted their own spiritual veins on their souls. When the soul is separated from the body, the spiritual energy can be attracted by the engraved spiritual veins and flow spontaneously, simulating the circulation of spiritual energy in the human body to maintain the spiritual energy Stay for a long time.

It is rumored that the legendary power who has reached the star river realm can even travel around the world without leaving home. The degree of solidification of his soul is comparable to that of a human body, and no one will discover his abnormal identity.

If this person is a monk in the Sea of ​​Clouds Realm, if they really want to fight, their chances of winning will be even lower.

Lin Zhou's thoughts turned, but on the surface he remained calm, he only asked half-jokingly: "Senior, the person on the stone platform really looks like you, could it be your physical body?"

"Young man is so smart, I've already seen it." The old man shook his head regretfully, and said, "My body is trapped here. Only my soul can wander outside, but I can't get out of the barrier of the sea of ​​sand."

"But I heard that when the Yunlu Corridor is closed, all outsiders will be repatriated?"

"This is true, but because of the existence of this sword, even the laws of the secret realm have been rebounded. I have been trapped here for many years."

Xiao Chenbing asked: "Why?"

The old man was a little stunned, and then laughed at himself: "There is no reason, the battle was defeated, that's all."

Xiao Chenbing: "Are you a demon cultivator?"

Old man: "No, of course not."

Lin Zhou can testify to this point. Although it looks like a scene where the villain was suppressed, no matter whether it is the old man's soul or body, what is flowing at this time is pure bright silver aura, and there is no phenomenon of gathering demonic energy.On the contrary, on the rusty long sword, there were still a few wisps of magic energy lingering around.

He told this to Xiao Chenbing, who nodded and asked again: "Why did you find me?"

"That's because I saw it. Although spying on the trajectory of fate is an act against the sky, there is a workaround in the dark. After hundreds of years of cultivation, I finally saw hope—that is you." The old man's expression became serious, and he said almost word by word, "You have a fateful connection with it, and only you can pull it up."

"..." Xiao Chenbing twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly, glanced at Lin Zhou, and without saying anything, stepped forward and grabbed the hilt of the sword.

Then I really pulled out the sword.

None with Caton.

There was silence in the cave.

Lin Zhou stared at it uncertainly for several seconds, wondering if this is the end of the matter?There are no changes in light and shadow, no sound effects, and there is not even the slightest hindrance. It seems easier than pulling a carrot?

Qi Ling: "...you seem quite disappointed?"

Lin Zhou: "...I didn't!"
