For the magician table [system]

It has been more than a year since Lin Mo disappeared.

For monks, this period of time is as short as the blink of an eye, and in this year, the world of self-cultivation has undergone earth-shaking changes.

First, after Shen Lou's conspiracy was revealed, the comprehension world quickly established an organization composed of all highly respected and powerful people to conduct a thorough investigation on Shen Lou and the danger of doomsday.

As a result, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The immediate doomsday threat has been completely eliminated.The self-sacrifice of the creators has a remarkable effect, and their world is even stronger than before the split, which is enough for the existing creatures to live well.

But Shen Lou's problem was difficult to solve.

In any case, she still bears the title of the king of the human world.Coupled with her own strength, and most of the resources and power in the cultivation world in her hands, it is really difficult to implement sanctions against her.

And at this moment, Shen Lou disappeared.

She disappeared completely, without even a trace in the entire cultivation world, as if she had never existed.

Perhaps Yin Xisheng knew where Shen Lou had gone - but she only came forward to deal with the ghosts scattered in the world at the very beginning, and then quietly disappeared in the vast realm of cultivation.

Everyone felt that she had stepped through the void.

In the past, Yin Xisheng was only a step away from Feisheng, but now that the crisis of cultivating the world has been eliminated, she has no worries in her heart, and with a harmonious state of mind, it is a matter of course to achieve consummation.

In this way, as the person involved quietly retreated, the huge earthquake that once affected the entire cultivation world was gradually annihilated under the burial of time.

——Just like this heavy snow covering the whole world.

Yuan Lai shook off the snowflakes on his body.His thoughts retracted from what had happened in the past year, and he focused on the hut standing on the top of the mountain in front of him.

The former Hulu Mountain has been razed to the ground, replaced by nine peaks named "Little Nine Mountains", which is the headquarters of Linzhuyuan, a school of magic that has recently gained fame.

Yuan Lai is on the highest peak among them.

There is only one person living here.

Living alone on such a high mountain, in such heavy snow, how does one feel?When you hear the lonely sound of falling snow, in the loneliness of extinction, what kind of mood will parting and longing lead to?

But Yuan Lai would not have such delicate sentimental emotions.His expression was still so calm, even at this moment, he didn't reveal the slightest fluctuation, he just stretched out his hand and pushed open the small wooden door in front of him in a normal way.

"Yeah, are you here?"

Zhu Xiaojiu squatted in the yard, facing a stone table.In the heavy snow, he was eating a piece of watermelon.

"Brother." Yuan Lai walked over sullenly, looking at him silently.

"Don't look at me, this is mine. If you want to eat it, you can make it yourself." Zhu Xiaojiu looked at him warily, and hugged the other half of the melon on the table.

If Lin Mo were here, seeing his stingy food protection virtues would have already taught him a lesson.However, Lin Mo, the partner of justice, is not here now, so Zhu Xiaojiu let Yuan Laigan watch her eating iced watermelon with peace of mind, without any embarrassment at all.

The yard was very quiet, only the sound of snow falling and Zhu Xiaojiu spitting out watermelon seeds.

Time passed slowly, and it was Yuan Lai who broke the silence first:

"Don't go."

He said these three words, but he didn't look at Zhu Xiaojiu.

"Don't worry about it."

Zhu Xiaojiu spat out another watermelon seed, which just landed at Yuan Lai's feet.

"You will die." Yuan Lai thought for a while, "Master, I won't agree."

"My life is mine." Zhu Xiaojiu sneered, he flicked his fingers, and the melon seed under Yuan Lai's feet sprouted and grew in the ice and snow, and in a short while, a big round watermelon formed.

Zhu Xiaojiu threw the watermelon into Yuanlai's arms: "Brother, please, eat more melons and don't talk."

Yuan Lai shook his head.

After Lin Mo disappeared, Zhu Xiaojiu also lost half of her soul.Yuan Lai watched helplessly as he searched for a period of time, and then the two found clues in the treasure house of the devil, and knew the way to travel to the world where Lin Mo was.

Zhu Xiaojiu could hardly wait, but Yuan Lai had to stop him.

——That method is really too dangerous. Back then, the treasure trove of the Demon Lord was able to pass through the gap between worlds only because of its special material.And with the current Zhu Xiaojiu alone, I'm afraid that he will be torn to pieces by that terrifying force as soon as he steps in.Unless he practiced for thousands of years, he would be able to escape in the gap between the worlds.

However, Zhu Xiaojiu was unwilling to wait any longer.

"You can't go now." Yuan Lai didn't give in at all, he put the watermelon aside, and showed his determination with practical actions.

Zhu Xiaojiu didn't say a word. After a long time, she squeezed out a sentence: "You don't understand. This feeling is really uncomfortable."

Yuan Lai looked at him quietly.

"As soon as I close my eyes, I can see him disappearing in the darkness. I tried my best to grab it, but I couldn't touch anything. I..." Zhu Xiaojiu's head was buried in the watermelon, and Yuan Lai couldn't see it The expression on his face could only be heard whispering, "I miss him so much."

He wants to touch that person, wants to hug that person, he can no longer bear to see that person's voice and smile in memories and dreams, and he can no longer bear the coldness and despair of facing reality after waking up from the dream .

Zhu Xiaojiu rarely reveals her inner weakness in front of others.It was the first time Yuan Lai saw Zhu Xiaojiu like this.But he was not moved at all, and just said lightly: "When you die, you are gone. There is no tomorrow, and there is no day after tomorrow."

Zhu Xiaojiu smiled bitterly, and threw the watermelon rind far away across the yard: "Ha... such a tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, don't worry about it!"

Hearing this, Yuan Lai stood up.

He walked slowly in front of Zhu Xiaojiu, looked down at his dejected senior brother, seemed to think carefully for a while, and then slowly stretched out his fist.

Zhu Xiaojiu raised her head inexplicably, before she could speak, she felt a gust of wind blowing by, and then her cheeks suddenly hurt, and she flew out in a whirl!

"Boom—clang—"

"oops!"

Zhu Xiaojiu got up from the ground when Yuan Lai punched him flying, his face turned green with anger: "Wow, you boy! How dare you slap me in the face! Master has never hit me like this!"

Yuan Lai still kept punching, his posture of slowly retracting his fist at this time was simply provocative in Zhu Xiaojiu's eyes, not to mention his still indifferent expression.

"Speak!" At this moment, Zhu Xiaojiu was out of anger.He rolled up his sleeves, squinted his eyes and looked at Yuan Lai's face dangerously, as if he wanted to find a suitable place to strike.

Yuan Lai finally withdrew his fist.He glanced at Zhu Xiaojiu indifferently, and said slowly, "It's better to be beaten to death by me."

Without saying a word, Zhu Xiaojiu directly punched him back.

The two fought silently like this.

They gave up all spells and supernatural powers, and only used the purest physical strength and the simplest moves, just like two children wrestling together.

They are all venting, and they are all expressing their deeper emotions this year in this way.However, no matter whose fist hits whose flesh, both suffer the same pain.

The heavy snow fell one after another, covering the world with a piece of whiteness, but it still couldn't cover up the pain in people's hearts.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, they stopped panting almost at the same time, lying on the snow with bruised noses and swollen faces.

"You're so ruthless." Zhu Xiaojiu looked at the sky without moving. He hadn't been so tired, so hurt, and so happy for a long time.

Yuan Lai did not speak.

"I know you don't want me to die in vain, and I know it's a waste of effort, but..."

"No farewell."

"Huh?" Zhu Xiaojiu stopped, and he turned his head to look hard, but only saw the back of his head.

"Master is leaving, I don't know." Yuan Lai's voice was still calm, but it sounded inexplicably lonely, "I don't know anything."

Zhu Xiaojiu recalled that time, she was immersed in shock and loss, and just briefly described to her younger brother how the master left.He never thought that Yuan Lai was more entitled to feel the pain.

——On that destined sad day, he didn't even have the chance to say goodbye.

"...Sorry." Zhu Xiaojiu whispered, "I—"

"100 years." Yuan Lai interrupted Zhu Xiaojiu, "You, practice penance for 100 years. I have a solution."

"What?" Zhu Xiaojiu could hardly believe her ears, "What way?"

"Different forces of time and space." Yuan Lai paused word by word.

Next, he explained.Zhu Xiaojiu finally understood Yuan Lai's meaning from those intermittent words.

It turned out that Yuan Lai possessed the power of time and space. Although he later switched to the divine way, his innate talent has not been annihilated.He intends to cultivate the power of time and space in his body to the peak, and build a protective barrier for Zhu Xiaojiu.

"When you see Master, please say hello to me." Finally, Yuan Lai said.

Zhu Xiaojiu was silent.

"...In other words, you came here to tell me this method?" After a long time, Zhu Xiaojiu's words were almost squeezed out between his teeth, filled with endless anger: "Then why are you beating me?! Is it because it's fun to beat?"

"Ah."

Yuan Lai nodded seriously.

"...ha." Zhu Xiaojiu smiled ferociously, raised her right hand and wiped it, and the bruises on her face disappeared immediately.Then, he tried his best to stand up, walked in front of Yuan Lai staggeringly, stared at him condescendingly, moved his wrist again, and said with a grinning smile: "Junior brother, hehehe."

Yuan Lai looked at him quietly, before he could speak, he saw a spherical heavy object smashed down on his head!

He subconsciously dodged to the side, just in time for his head and face to be messed up by the flying snow crumbs.

However, the opponent did not attack again.Yuan Lai blinked and looked at the ground, only to realize that Zhu Xiaojiu just dropped a watermelon.

"you……"

"Eat." Zhu Xiaojiu sat down on the snow, looking at the leaden sky in the distance, "I will do as you say. But it will only be 100 years."

The world is still very quiet, snowflakes are falling, everything is as before, as if time has never passed.

However, in the small courtyard on the top of the mountain, there was another sound of "Puff" spitting melon seeds.
