Jiang Xiaozhou felt that Zhou Qi was a bit difficult to deal with.

He asked the system: "Is it okay for the protagonist to stay by my side all the time? If he doesn't save the world or something?"

The system pointedly said: "The protagonist is you now, and his weight is not as high as yours, so what he does is not important, what you do is important."

"The protagonist won't pay an extra salary..." Jiang Xiaozhou sighed, and slowly left the sea of ​​consciousness.

When he woke up, Nanshan Lingque was just driving outside Zhishuyuan.

Zhishuyuan is located in Huasang Mountain, which is low but rugged. Jun Congli took over the Nanshan Lingque, and the heavy snow and light rain stayed outside. He walked into Huasang Mountain with Jiang Xiaozhou, and Zhou Qi naturally followed.

Huasang Mountain has not set up an enchantment, and few people come to visit this kind of place.Along the way, there wasn't even a little boy to greet her. When Jiang Xiaozhou saw Yu Chaoyan for the first time, she said that there were originally three people in Zhishuyuan, but one left and there were only two left.

Yu Zhaoyan and her younger brother Yu Lantern.

Jiang Xiaozhou clicked his tongue inwardly. It seemed that Senior Yu Chaoyan was not humble at all, and he was not like other great powers who did not count the little servants as heads. She said that there were only two people left, and there was not a single extra worm.

Huasang Mountain is extremely quiet, even if the wind blows through the treetops, the sound of the leaves rubbing against each other is like whispering in the ear, making it even more silent.Jiang Xiaozhou was used to the hustle and bustle of Wendaozong, so he was a little surprised for a while.

It's too quiet, and the sun can't shine into the mountains, as if time is frozen here.

Jun Congli didn't speak for a moment. There seemed to be an invisible force here that silenced people and made them unable to make a sound.

After walking all the way to the inside of Huasang Mountain, Jiang Xiaozhou and the others discovered the existence of Zhishuyuan.Zhishuyuan is just a small courtyard, and the library here is stored underground. Yu Chaoyan stood in the courtyard, seeing Jiang Xiaozhou and the others coming, she did not show a surprised expression.

"Since you have come to see Lantern, it means that you have successfully persuaded them." Yu Chaoyan said lightly, "I will let you go to see Lantern, but whether you can persuade him or not depends on your ability."

Jiang Xiaozhou cupped his hands: "Thank you, senior."

Yu Chaoyan opened the door, and the group of them walked in.

Across the rough corridor, there is a hut behind the yard, Yu Chaoyan stood at the door and said, "The lantern is inside, if you want to see him, you'd better keep quiet, he doesn't like making noise."

Jiang Xiaozhou nodded.

Yu Chaoyan knocked on the door and said, "Carry on the lantern, someone wants to see you, they have come in."

Jiang Xiaozhou was thinking about how to invite the lantern, when he heard Yu Chaoyan say this, he suddenly felt a little strange.

Senior Yu Chaoyan is not someone with this kind of character, at least in other places, she shows a pride comparable to her own strength.But in front of her younger brother, her tone was extremely gentle, even with an attitude of giving in.

A person of her strength even guarded the academy for her younger brother.

why?

This idea flashed through Jiang Xiaozhou's mind, but he didn't study it carefully, he still said that it was more important to move the fish and carry the lantern.

After opening the door, Jiang Xiaozhou and Jun Congli rushed in. The room looked small from the outside, but it was actually very spacious inside, filled with books and jade slips everywhere.There was no light in the room, and a thin man was sitting in the center. He leaned over the desk, and when he heard the sound of them coming in, he glanced at them sideways.

This man must be the fish lantern.He was as pale and thin as Jiang Xiaozhou imagined, with sunken cheeks, eyes like two sparks in the dark, and thin lips like a knife.He felt like a sharp blade immersed in a cold pool, the sharp edge reflected the moonlight, Jiang Xiaozhou subconsciously suppressed his breathing.

At this moment, Yu Lantern was staring at Jiang Xiaozhou, frowning slightly.

"forward……"

Just as Jiang Xiaozhou opened his mouth, he only made a small breath, and the fish lantern interrupted him: "It's too noisy."

"The sound of breathing." Yu Lantern closed his eyes, listened for a moment, then pointed at Jun Cong and said, "Go out."

Jun Congli looked blank, he didn't even open his mouth to speak, but Yu Lantern said so, after giving Jiang Xiaozhou a sorry look, he said via voice transmission: "I'll wait for you outside."

Jiang Xiaozhou nodded slightly.

Jun Congli left, Yu Lantern looked at Zhou Qi again, and said, "You go out too."

Zhou Qi raised his eyebrows, not at all as obedient as Jun Congli: "Why? I won't make any sound."

"Your heart is too noisy." Yu Lantern stood up and looked at Zhou Qi: "You are very annoying standing here."

Zhou Qi wanted to say something more, but Jiang Xiaozhou reached out to stop her and said, "In this case, you should follow the rules and wait outside."

"Then I'll wait for you." Zhou Qi shrugged and walked out in a good manner.

"senior……"

The fish lantern waved his hand: "Don't talk, I know, what are you doing here?"

"In this case, I invite the seniors to come out of the mountain."

Yu Lantern was noncommittal, raised his eyelids and walked over slowly. He was used to the darkness. Standing in front of Jiang Xiaozhou, Yu Lantern said slowly: "You have the breath of water and fire on you."

He doesn't seem to be able to say a complete sentence, and it may be that he hasn't communicated with others for a long time, but Jiang Xiaozhou didn't dare to underestimate him. He said respectfully: "Yes, this junior is indeed a dual spiritual root of water and fire."

"Heh." Yu Lantern smiled, not making him look soft, but like a thin knife out of its sheath: "That's not it, superficial things, the breath of water... I've seen something similar, the breath of water. "

Jiang Xiaozhou said bluntly: "The younger generation doesn't understand."

Yu Lantern looked at his face carefully, and said: "You don't even know who you are, you don't know where you are born, you don't know where you will die, do you still have the heart to work hard for the survival of this human race?"

"Senior..." Jiang Xiaozhou's heart trembled suddenly, and he asked: "Senior, do you know my life experience?"

"Your life experience has nothing to do with me." Yu Lan said: "But, this Qianyuan Continent, what's the use of you saving it? They won't have a trace of gratitude, they will only feel that you are taking the opportunity to eliminate dissidents." , It’s all about seizing power.”

He spoke more and more smoothly, and Jiang Xiaozhou could feel his pressure more and more.

Jiang Xiaozhou said in a deep voice: "Senior, I am saving the Qianyuan Continent... No, I am not saving the Qianyuan Continent, I am just saving myself."

"I don't do it for anyone's gratitude, I just want to do what I can. I can't watch someone in a life-or-death situation and not do anything. I don't want to be caught in an irreparable mistake again."

"I do these things just to let everyone be well..."

Yu Lantern said indifferently: "For this, can you pay for it with your own life?"

Jiang Xiaozhou was startled, then replied, "Yes."

Yu Lantern sneered: "The answer is too easy, you don't even know what life is."

"...Senior." Jiang Xiaozhou lowered his head and said softly: "Maybe I really don't know now. But I know where I came from when I was born. Liangyi Jianzong Jiang Changge is the grace of nurturing me. Whether he is my biological father or not, in my heart, he is my family. As for where he will die, just follow the fate, I don't care."

Yu Lantern took half a step back, seemingly surprised.

"You don't care?"

Jiang Xiaozhou looked at him calmly.

"Looking at it this way, you are not very similar to her." Yu Lantern smiled: "You came to me for the second layer of enchantment. I will warn you one last time, it is meaningless for you to do these things. You will definitely regret it. What you save now will only make you more painful. Your current pain is nothing more than the inability to do anything when you were young, and this is just a trivial matter... So, are you sure you still want to do this? "

Jiang Xiaozhou looked at him earnestly: "Senior, please speak clearly. The junior knows too little, so it is inevitable that he is self-righteous."

Yu Lantern opened his mouth and said a few words silently.

"senior?"

Yu Lantern shook his head, and stretched out his left hand to cover his lips. Only then did Jiang Xiaozhou notice that his right hand was indeed broken, but it didn't make people think that he was crippled.

"I can't say anything, but you can get to know a person."

Jiang Xiaozhou subconsciously asked, "Who?"

"The first landlord of Baiyu Twelfth Building, the legend who made Baiyu Twelfth Building stand in the old state for 3 years, today's Baiyu Twelfth Building is completely different from when he was in power." Yu Lantern said meaningfully: " He built the Twelfth White Jade Tower back then, how could he have expected that the Twelfth White Jade Tower would become what it is now?"

Jiang Xiaozhou asked: "Who is he?"

"About him, it's better to ask my sister." Yu Lantern said: "I have never dealt with him, but my sister once received his favor and promised to do anything for him. If you listen to what he said, you still insist on it." To create a second barrier, come to me again."

"Senior..." Jiang Xiaozhou wanted to say something more, but Yu Lantern had already returned to his place, and Jiang Xiaozhou's eyes blurred, and he had already left the house.

After he came out, Zhou Qi greeted him first, and said, "You've been inside for a long time...you look a little cold."

Jiang Xiaozhou asked, "How long?"

"Two days." Zhou Qi leaned over to put a piece of clothing on him, and whispered, "Jun Congli has returned to Nanshan Lingque for the time being, what about us? Has he promised you?"

"Let's go to Senior Yu Chaoyan." Jiang Xiaozhou slowed down and said, "I have something to ask her."

Two days have passed, and Jiang Xiaozhou didn't notice the passage of time at all. He was in the house, and he only spoke a few words to Yu Lantern...

There, is there an enchantment about time?

Jiang Xiaozhou couldn't figure it out. He didn't know much about barriers, so he could only guess.

The two went to Yu Chaoyan's room one after the other, Yu Chaoyan was buried in the scriptures, lighting a candle, saw them coming, and asked: "Did the lantern promise you?"

"He asked me to come to you." Jiang Xiaozhou said respectfully: "Senior, he said that if I insist on setting up a second barrier, I will definitely regret it... This junior doesn't understand what he means, so please tell me clearly." "I don't understand either." Yu Chaoyan said: "Since he was young, he liked to nest in the pile of books and read some messy books. When he was very young, he had completely different ideas from everyone else... As an older sister, in fact I don't know him very well."

Jiang Xiaozhou was thoughtful.

Yu Chaoyan lit up the candle and asked, "By the way, why did he ask you to come to me?"

Jiang Xiaozhou: "He said, you can tell me about the first landlord of Baiyu Twelfth Floor, for example, who he is."

"The landlord..." Yu Chaoyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "No one has mentioned him for a long time, and there is no record of his name in the books, but I came across his name by chance."

In her heart, the landlord of the twelfth floor of Baiyu is still the same one thousands of years ago.

"Qin Wuxin."
