Time not only fades memories, but also dusts everything that was once glamorous.This courtyard seems to be the only place in this city that has experienced the passage of time. The wooden door has been eroded by the years, and the words that were once bright on the door frame have only faint and blurred traces.

The master and the apprentice didn't speak any more. I don't know if it was an illusion. Shi Qian found that Jing Su seemed to be walking behind him on purpose, and the emotions emanating from him were also a little strange. Although the emotions were hidden deeply, they were only slightly It was fleeting, but Shi Qian was still keenly aware of the difference in Jing Su.He seemed to be... excited?Although everything else was normal, Shi Qian couldn't help being vigilant secretly when he thought of everything he encountered after arriving in this city.

Putting a lot of recovered spiritual power on his hands, he gently pushed on the door without any sense of stagnation. After making this movement, Shi Qian immediately took a step back and stood beside Jing Su.

There was only a creaking sound, and a lot of dust fell from the door. They exhausted their last bit of energy and fluttered in the air, and finally disappeared in silence.

"go in."

"Yes." Looking at Jing Su's slightly hasty back who took the first step into the door, Shi Qian's eyes flashed a strange color again, but he didn't stop at his feet, and stepped to keep up.

There is a coffee table on each side of the room, the vases on it have long dried up, standing there quietly, two chairs are placed on each side of the coffee table, there is a soft couch above, and a chessboard is placed on a small wooden table on the couch, black and white. The twins seem to be placed in a mess, but from a close look, it is a game of dead chess.Bai Zi forced Hei Zi to the corner, and he only needed to make one more move to wipe them out, but if so, Bai Zi was also on his own life door, looking closely, it was a situation of mutual damage.

Withdrawing his gaze, Shi Qian looked at Jing Su who had not moved since entering the room, "Master, did you find out?"

"No."

"This disciple thinks this city is really weird, we'd better leave quickly." Shi Qian's tone was submissive, with some worry in his eyes.

"There is a teacher here, so don't worry." Jing Su glanced at the chessboard again, then turned to Shi Qian with soft eyes, "Go inside and have a look."

"Yes." Shi Qian replied with lowered eyes, with nothing unusual on his face, and followed Jing Su's footsteps into the back room.

The front hall and the inner room are separated by a screen. After ten thousand years, although the screen has not rotted, the pattern on it has been erased, leaving only a cloud of dusty ink marks.The layout of the inner room is simpler, a simple bed with a quilt neatly laid out, a carved desk that has been covered by dust, two stools are randomly placed beside it, and there is a teapot on the table And two cups, all covered with dust.

In addition, there is a huge bookshelf full of ancient books in the room. It is completely different from other places in the courtyard. This bookshelf is not stained with dust at all, and it is as clean as if it is cleaned every day.Shi Qian noticed a faint layer of spiritual power emanating from it, and only when he got closer did he realize that the patterns engraved on the bookshelf were actually ancient formations that had long been lost. Didn't recognize it at all.This kind of formation is mainly used to protect important things. It is not difficult. You only need to burn the formation, and then input enough spiritual power to make it work normally. The so-called sufficient spiritual power However, it is not something that cultivators below Yuan Ying dare to try easily.

Although the spiritual power loaded on the formation here is not too much, it is still extremely stable. If there is no accident, it can last for no less than a hundred years, and this is under the condition that it has been in operation for thousands of years.Presumably the former owner here must be extremely capable, perhaps it is the legendary ancient immortal.Realizing this, Shi Qian couldn't help being more cautious. He turned his head to look at Jing Su, but found that the other party suddenly appeared in front of the bookshelf, reaching out to touch those books.

Although the formation was much weaker, Shi Qian did not doubt its power at all. Although Jing Su was already at the Mahayana stage, the opponent might be an ancient immortal.But Shi Qian didn't speak to stop him. According to his understanding, Jing Su never did anything he was not sure of, let alone... Shi Qian's eyes were full of deep meaning.

Jing Su's fingers were slender and strong, with well-defined joints, which looked particularly good against the dark bookshelf. His right hand passed through the range of spiritual power almost without hindrance, and accurately took out an ancient book on the bookshelf.Only then did Shi Qian notice that Jing Su's hand had penetrated the central node of the formation, and the book was the eye of the formation.

At the same time, the huge bookshelf made a slight sound and began to move.

It was separated from the two sides, revealing a passage. The material of the walls on both sides of the passage is very special, and it seems to exude a soft light, so although the passage is only enough for one person to pass through, it does not appear dark and narrow.

After the passage appeared, Jing Su handed over the ancient book in his hand to Shi Qian.Shi Qian stretched out his hand to take it, and finally saw its name - "The Immortal Demon", his eyes flashed, but he quickly put it away with his usual expression.

The passage is not long, and there is no trap formation that Shiqian was worried about before. The two walked silently one after the other, Shi Qian's face was as sinking as water, thinking calmly, the guardian formation like the one on the bookshelf just now would be of great help to this person. It shouldn't be too difficult for the original owner of the courtyard, and from what he saw before, the courtyard is obviously very important to the original owner, so no matter what they do in the end, it should be impossible to let it go down like this. has a problem.Glancing at Jing Su, who was already three steps away, he quickly followed.

Walking out of the passage, it is as if you have entered another space. The aura contained in this space is so rich that it is actually stronger than the spirit chalcedony pool in Tiancheng Peak.

Instantly recovered from the impact of the spiritual energy, Shi Qian quickly looked around the space.

There are paintings on the four walls, standing or sitting, smiling or angry, all of them are alone.Even after [-] years, there is no change at all. It seems that the ink that was painted yesterday has just dried, and there is still a faint fragrance of ink.The painters painted each painting so vividly that it even made people feel that as long as they took a second look, the person in the painting would stand in front of them.He has a pair of warm and pure eyes, black hair that is casually tied but not messy, and an extremely gentle and handsome face. Even if he stands in the painting, he can easily make people feel warm. Shi Qian knew that this person was exactly the one in the previous picture. The white-clothed man, but this did not make him feel any less shocked.

In the ancient ruins that Shi Qianshang I entered, he also saw a portrait. In the portrait, the young man in white has a pair of wild and arrogant eyes, and a cold and resolute face. He stands on the top of the cliff, and the wind blows His long hair revealed the indifference in his eyes, as if all living beings were ants to him.

Shi Qian has no doubts about whether they are the same person, after all, no matter how a person changes, his little habits will not be changed so easily.But such two extreme personalities appear on the same person, there must be something wrong in the middle, thinking about the quarrel between the young man in white and the man in red in the previous picture, although I didn’t hear it clearly, but it took a long time. But I roughly guessed that maybe that was the reason.So what does this have to do with the disappearance of the ancient fairy world and the demon world?

It took only a moment to go back and forth, and Shi Qian's eyes finally fell on the only prominent object in this space besides the painting.On the spacious mahogany table, pens and inkstones are placed randomly, as if its owner has just left, and a piece of rice paper is pressed under the ink-colored ruler. youth.But Shi Qian noticed that there was some extra ink stains on the side of the young man in white this time. At first glance, it seemed that the painter accidentally stained it, but if you look closely, you can easily distinguish it. The look of another person's shoulders.From the concentration and strength of the falling ink, it can be seen that the painter hesitated for a long time before dropping the stroke. Maybe the painter wanted to draw a picture of himself and the young man, or maybe something else, but this painting is just that. So I have been waiting here for thousands of years, but I have never waited for its next stroke.

"You just want me to see this?" Shi Qian looked away from the table, and turned to the man who had been silent since he came in. His voice was calm, as if he was asking a very ordinary question.

"... When did you find out?" After a long time, the man finally asked.

"Before entering the passage."

"When did you start to suspect?" The other party was persistent.

"After seeing the first picture." Shi Qian narrowed his eyes, concealing the chill in his eyes, paused, and continued: "How long do you want to pretend to be him?"

If he hadn't discovered that this person had no malicious intentions, it would be impossible for Shi Qian to coexist peacefully with him for such a long time, especially when the other party was still pretending to be Jing Su.

"Impossible! I'm obviously not exposed, and every behavior of mine is in accordance with his habits! How could you find out? You have to tell me, otherwise I will always be like this."'Jing Su' kicked angrily He stretched out his hand and grabbed Shi Qian's arm and shook it up and down, "Say it, say it!"

"..." I have to say, seeing a guy wearing Jing Su's appearance make such an expression, it feels really weird, at least, before that, Shi Qian couldn't imagine what Jing Su looked like acting like a baby.

"Tell me, what do you want to know?" After finding that he couldn't free his arm and the spiritual power in his body was suppressed, he turned his gaze to 'Jing Su', Shi Qian had a gentle smile on his face, his eyes All warm colors.

"I, I..." Under Shi Qian's sight, 'Jing Su' suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and shivered quickly, then seemed to remember something, blushed slightly, and turned his head away in embarrassment , Even the volume that has never been lowered has been tweaked a lot: "Just tell me how you found out that I am not your master." Even so, he still did not let go of Shi Qian's hand.

Shiqian really noticed something was wrong after seeing the first picture. The sadness he felt at that time was more like a kind of resonance from the surroundings. At that time, he discovered that there was a third person in the courtyard, but after that The breath disappeared, and it never appeared again until the end of the screen.The reason why he went to see Jing Su after watching those pictures was not only because he wanted to know his reaction, but also because of another reason - he felt that for a moment, Jing Su also appeared on him. That emotion that is felt.

But the real suspicion of him came later. If it was Jing Su's habit, he would not be allowed to push the door open first, no matter what the reason was.Although 'Jing Su' had no problem with every word, even subtle movements and attitude towards him, after entering this room, Jing Su's attitude was really strange, even though he tried his best to hide it, he still didn't escape Shi Qian's eyes.

Moreover, if it was really Jing Su, it would be impossible for Shi Qian to open his mouth to guarantee without any explanation after Shi Qian said he was going to leave.

Of course, if the previous things can be called coincidences, then when he put his hand into the center of the battle without any mistakes, it can no longer be explained by coincidence.
