stop!This is your junior brother!

"Little eighth brother, what's the matter?"

Li Yanxi looked at [-] suddenly covering his heart and looking into the distance. He had never seen him with such an expression before, and was surprised.

[-] hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

I always feel that the host...

There was a quarrel over there.

"Why can't you find the mechanism? In fact, you want to take it all from the hidden door?"

"What is the most talented disciple of the Yinmen, I don't think so."

"What nonsense, I see, he simply wants to let us all be trapped in it."

[-] walked over and saw Mu Jin surrounded by people, blushing with anger.

The disciples of the Yin Sect are not good at talking, and these people are old oily people in the world. They have no power to refute. Hidden in the cynicism of the crowd.

The treasures are visible to the naked eye, but cannot be touched. The gold, silver and jewels that can never be used up in a lifetime are about to be lost. All the efforts are of no avail.It is always difficult for people to recognize their own shortcomings and criticize others, so all the anger is cast on Mu Jin.

These people are also sure about Mu Jin's temperament, and they will not leave them directly, otherwise there is only one hidden disciple in the whole cave, and it is too late to make offerings, so how could they use this method.They are worried that they will hide their secrets.

Shao Zhan hated this kind of situation the most, his voice pierced through the layers of sound waves, and reached everyone's ears, "A group of wastes who can't help but criticize others? Is this a person who has a reputation in the right way and the evil way? I really learned a lot today. .”

Someone became angry from embarrassment, "Demon girl! How dare you come?"

Shao Zhan sneered, "Are you blind? My aunt has been here for so long and can't see it? You say this kid can't solve it, so if you can do it, you can come up with it, or come up with a solution, otherwise you just bother him to crack it." organ."

Another retorted: "It's been so long, who knows if he cracked it and didn't say it?"

Shao Zhan held the saber in his arms, and the golden rings collided with each other, making a sound of intertwining gold and steel, "So what if you don't talk about it? Is it useful for you to provoke the general here? If he really doesn't want to say it, he won't say it. If he wants to I'm you, why don't you eat and drink for him, if you don't like him, or just say it when you feel guilty?"

Shao Zhan's words made many people startled, showing thoughtful expressions.

Shao Zhan looked at the retorting person and chuckled, "I think, do you have any other intentions in mind to incite others like this?"

"Sorceress! Don't spout blood!"

"I spitting blood? Well, you know it's blood spitting. Then what were you doing just now?"

……

Shao Zhan has a sharp tongue, and after a while he cursed the people surrounding Mu Jin, but he was speechless, quite similar to Mu Jin just now, and what made them even more angry and wronged was that the people around him began to doubt whether they were I have other plans, I want to bother Mu Jin and steal the treasure all by myself.This is to treat the body of the person in the way of the person.

Shao Zhan finished scolding people, vented all the anger aroused by his junior brother and this group of shameless people, and returned to his original place refreshed.

Ning Heng couldn't help but admire: "Sharp!"

Ran Cang looked over if he felt something, but [-] skillfully blocked Ning Heng, and Ran Cang couldn't see anything.

Ran Cang withdrew his gaze, and said: "I believe that little friend Mu Jin is definitely not that kind of person, but since I just said that there may be formations in this cave, I can help here."

He said, pointing to the people around him, "This is a disciple of our master, who is proficient in formations, astronomy and geography. Although the organization can't help much, if it is formations, I can discuss it with my friends."

This is a young man, about the same age as Gu Li before him. Compared with Gu Li's evil and stunning appearance, he is cleaner and softer. He is not an eye-catching appearance, but he makes people feel good at first sight, and his voice is clear and clear.

He looked at Ran Cang, and Ran Cang nodded slightly, so he introduced to everyone: "In Xia Ran Dize."

... Surnamed Ran?

Being given the imperial surname, that is Ran Cang's confidant.

Zi Chehen glanced lightly, then withdrew his gaze.

Gu Li, who was brought by Ran Cang's side before, was not given the imperial surname, but since he was not the closest person, why did he bring him with him at the martial arts conference?

During the martial arts conference, is it the last examination of xinxing?Or is it to... threaten someone?

Zi Chehen lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.

I don't know if there is any news from the third child.

***

Astrology desk.

"Teacher, I don't know where Ozawa has gone." Gu Li ran to the national teacher, panting slightly.

The national teacher turned around, his hair was silvery white and the ends were black, like the wings of a crane, making him more dusty, but the thoughts in his eyes were full of thoughts, leading the immortal who should have stood in the clouds into the mortal world.

"Teacher?" Gu Li stopped hesitantly.

The national teacher looked at Gu Li's ignorant and worried eyes, sighed lightly, and patted his head.

"Xiao Li, do you want to stay in the palace?"

Gu Li was taken aback, he was already an extremely bright student, and he smelled something strange.

"Teacher, you want to leave the palace?" Gu Li tightly grasped the sleeve of the national teacher, "Teacher, I will go too!"

The national teacher looked at Ziweixing outside the window, and looked away again, "Xiaoli, you are very talented, but if you go out with me, at most you will be a witch-like figure, wasting it."

Gu Li tightly grasped the sleeves of the national teacher with both hands, and wrinkled the flowing wide sleeves. The fine embroidery was messed up, but no one was in the mood to pay attention to a piece of clothing right now.

"Didn't the teacher say that whether it's astronomy or geography, it's all for the benefit of the people? Even if it's going to the countryside to be a god...prince, it's good." Gu Li muttered, "Anyway, stay in the palace Li Ran...the emperor doesn't need me."

The national teacher laughed, patted his head, his brows and eyes were gentle and concealed his melancholy, "Xiao Li, if you stay in the palace, at least you will have no worries about food and clothing."

Gu Li shook his head, "It's not rare."

"Xiaoli..."

"Teacher," Gu Li looked up at him, with stubbornness and unconcealable panic in his eyes, "I haven't been in the palace since I was a child, so take me with you."

The national teacher looked at Gu Li, and the speech he had prepared choked in his throat. He recalled in a daze that when he picked up this child, it was not even around his waist, but in a blink of an eye it reached his chin.

At that time, he was also like this, cautious, "I can endure any hardship."

After Gu Li's mother left, his father remarried, and his stepmother was a young lady from a wealthy family, and she followed his father for "true love", but she was the eldest lady, how could she bear the "bastard" left by his regular wife.All kinds of bullying during the period, the father would still take care of it at first, but when the eldest lady married a wife, he would turn a blind eye and even complain that he was ignorant.

Later... Then one day, his father said he would take him out, changed him into new clothes, and bought candied haws. He was very happy, as if his gentle and loving father had returned.

His father asked him if he wanted to eat dragon beard cake, and told him to stay where he was and not to run around.

Then the father never came back.

When the national teacher saw him, it had been a year since this incident. In one year, because Gu Li was often hungry and full, his appearance didn't change much, but his whole person was like a baby. The wolf is vigilant and dangerous. There is a sharpened stone pinned to his waist. When robbing the swill of a restaurant, he will pounce on it like a little wolf. If anyone snatches it from him, the stone knife will crush him. neck.

……

"Teacher? Teacher..."

The national teacher came back to his senses, looked at the panic in Gu Li's eyes, thought that the child was probably in the same mood when he stood there from noon until late at night, and a sense of self-blame came over him.

But he still said what he had been worrying about for a long time.

"Xiao Li, you don't have to worry about the emperor's attitude towards you. In less than a month, Ziwei Star will change hands."

Gu Li was shocked, "What?!"

He instinctively wanted to shake his head, but this was what the teacher saw, and there was absolutely no way it was fake.

"Ran Cang is so ambitious that he even wants to become an emperor through the ages. How could he give way? And the prince is gentle... No, could it be the fifth prince? Or the fourth prince!"

Gu Li was so confused that he even called Ran Cang by his first name. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out who had the guts.

"Could it be that Ran Cang's previous illness didn't heal? Or did the sage poison doctor do something to him?"

Seeing Gu Li's chaotic state, the national teacher closed the window and said softly.

"It's the prince."

"what?!"

Seeing Gu Li's unbelievable expression, the national teacher smiled helplessly, "Sometimes the most impossible is actually the most possible."

The prince is gentle, talented in writing, and has rules for arranging troops, but it is a pity that he is too soft-hearted and sickly.So far, there are still courtiers in the imperial court who do not stand on the side of the prince, and a large part of it is because of these two shortcomings.

The prince is a gentle person, but his heart is too soft. If he is in a commoner's house or in the rivers and lakes, he will definitely be a big brother and hero who can gather people's hearts. But in the palace at this time, there are some things that are not just gentle. .

Is it possible for such a person to... usurp the throne?

But this is what the teacher said, so it can only be true.

The national teacher didn't say anything more, it's a good thing not to know some things, he just said: "When the prince succeeds to the throne, it may not be important for you."

Before Gu Li could speak, the national teacher laughed at himself and said with a smile: "After all, my student doesn't dare to use much."

"Teacher?" I don't know why, but the teacher's expression made his heart tighten, and he also tightened his hands. He realized something was wrong, and when he lowered his head, he realized that the teacher's clothes had been grabbed into a mess. He quickly pulled the fabric, trying to Smoothed out the sleeves, but it was obviously of no use.

"Teacher..." Gu Li looked at the national teacher with a bitter face, the national teacher couldn't help laughing, the things that made him uncomfortable and depressed, can be said like a chat.

"Didn't you ask where Ozawa went today? He went out with the emperor."

"Before I leave, I give my surname Ran."

"Give the surname...?" Gu Li stiffened as if struck by lightning, "Did Ran Cang force you?"

These students should all follow the teacher's surname Gu.

Gu Li only felt that his voice was dry, but he also knew that it was absolutely impossible to ask.

If he doesn't want to be given a surname, can Ran Cang force him to do so?

But, but...

When Ozawa first came, Ozawa, him, and teacher Mingming valued him so much, how could he? !

The more Gu Li thought about it, the more angry and sad he became, his eyes were red, the veins in his neck were bulging, and his body trembled slightly.

He thought Shimen was his home, and he thought he had a brother again.

"Xiaoli."

Like a sigh, the national teacher touched the back of his neck, his usually warm fingers were a little cold.

"It's okay, don't blame him."

Everyone in the world knows that there are hidden doors in the rivers and lakes, they are proficient in organ formations, and gossip, but few people know that there are two lines of hidden doors. The royal family is free from thieves and thieves; one is in the imperial court, and the Mingfu emperor governs the country, and he is proficient in astronomy and geography, so that the vault of heaven has escaped countless natural disasters and disasters.

The rivers and lakes and the court are inseparable, but what Ran Cang did before was too extreme, which made the rivers and lakes and the court irreconcilable.

However, it is not enough to tear the face apart, the Yinmen has become the only link between the imperial court and the rivers and lakes. less contact.

Later, Ran Cang recruited strange people and skilled craftsmen from all over the place, so the department of the organization gradually stopped overhauling.

So the only thing left is the national teacher.

Therefore, the national teacher does not have to worship the emperor. Most ministers think that the emperor is respectful and virtuous, and has a good relationship with the national teacher. In fact, the two cannot be regarded as monarchs and ministers.

However, Ran Cang didn't know that all the previous national teachers were from the hidden sect.Only the successive emperors knew about this matter, but Ran Cang usurped the throne.

When the young national teacher came, he thought he had recruited strange people. When the two countries were at war, the national teacher watched the sky at night and took advantage of the sudden cold wind to catch the Yin country by surprise. Value Ning Heng.When he knew that the national teacher was a disciple of Jianghu, he couldn't leave him.

But only temporarily.

All previous astronomical lineages have recruited disciples in the imperial palace, and at the time of Dacheng, one person will be selected to stay in the imperial palace to become the next national teacher. The national teacher will lead his disciples back to the mountain gate, and there has never been a mistake.

But something went wrong in his tenure.

His teacher was almost fainted by the anger of the emperor back then, and he had no intention of accepting disciples at all. He was a disciple that the teacher accepted before he went to the court.

When his teacher saw that the emperor was hopeless, he simply returned to the mountain gate and prepared to participate in the war as a quack. Unexpectedly, news came from the royal family that the new emperor had taken office, and the relationship between the new emperor and the leader was very good.The teacher never accepted an apprentice in the imperial court, so he was sent out, and the national teacher returned to the palace.

Both Ning Heng and the national teacher thought that Ran Cang knew about it, but they didn't know about it until the end of the battle.

But Ran Cang was suspicious and couldn't trust him at all, so he played tricks on his students.Or the students themselves have problems, or they were lured in when they were young, and they turned their hearts to him and had excellent talents. Over the years, one of them has become demented for no reason, and one fell into the well.

A teacher for a day, a father for life.These children "all" had no family, entered his hidden house, and took their master's surname.

These should be his students, his disciples, his children.

Ran Cang knows that a country cannot live without a national teacher, and the ability of a national teacher is a great help, so he wants to turn those who have this ability into his own people.

Worried that the national teacher would hide his secrets, he arranged for dead men who had been brainwashed since childhood to pass by the national teacher in disguise, and all encounters were decorated as accidental.

Like Ozawa.

When Ran Cang comes back, it will be a day of thorough decision.

At first he wondered why Ran Cang was vaguely hostile towards Gu Li, but later he realized that it was because Gu Li could not be controlled by him.

After all, they have known each other for many years. He is a person with seven senses. He sees Ran Cang thoroughly. He is afraid that Ran Cang will think that he is partial to Gu Li and not devoted to other disciples, so he will attack him, so he deliberately slows down Gu Li's progress. , can be regarded as laying a solid foundation for him.

In fact, he really didn't blame Ozawa, because he was originally a member of the Ran family, and his surname was Ran. This time, he just returned the surname to him.

He was not his student.

How to blame.

"Teacher, since the crown prince wants to succeed, why did he leave? He must not dare to use, use..."

Gu Li opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't say the name of his fellow student.

The national teacher smiled, but he was a little relaxed, "One emperor and one courtier."

Gu Li clenched the National Teacher's sleeves, "Teacher, take me back to the mountain gate, I don't want to stay here."

"Little Li, you have to think about it. With your talent, you will be reused sooner or later if you stay here. Don't you like to eat the fruits of the south? If you stay here, you can eat it every year. If you follow the teacher, you will have to suffer It's day."

"I'll follow the teacher." Gu Li lowered his head and moved in the direction of the national teacher.

The national teacher couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, he hugged him like a child, and soon there was wetness on his chest.

"Let's go back to the hidden door after the matter here is dealt with. The group of little guys inside are all looking forward to seeing you."

"Teacher, remember."

"remember."

"The hook."

"Okay, pull the hook."

……

The national teacher gently covered Gu Li with a quilt, and put a towel on Gu Li's red and swollen eyes.

Gu Li had seen too much when he was a child, and he was not mature enough to look like a child, but in fact he was clearly still a child.

It was him who was useless as a teacher, and he didn't even know that his students were being tricked.

The national teacher walked out of the room lightly, looking at the characters on the paper that only he could understand.

Ran Cang couldn't do it anymore.

Although the previous Ran Cang had a strong desire to control, although he was a little suspicious, they were all harmless. As the king of a country, in some respects, these were even necessary.

But now Ran Cang has changed.

His desire to control and possess is almost pathological, and his desire for immortality and immortality has surpassed his sense of responsibility for the sky. Over the years, he has become arbitrary in the court because of his one-sidedness.

He is no longer fit to be an emperor.

Sometimes he would think that everything has its own will in the dark.Because the royal family has too much to learn from an early age, they have no time to practice martial arts, so their life expectancy is only slightly longer than that of ordinary people. Each emperor can only reign for four or fifty years at most. The injection of fresh blood also enabled the royal family to better govern the country and benefit the Quartet.

Ran Cang has been on the throne for too long.

Blinded eyes like the first emperor, but he is harder to control, and he is more destructive.

First teaching oneself, then treasures, Ran Cang focused on the cheats, but he didn't even notice the abnormality in the frontier.

The country of Yin, the country of Yin that nearly destroyed the kingdom of Qiong many years ago, has made another move.

At first, when he discovered the change of Ziwei star, he thought that Ran Cang would kill himself. Later, after the martial arts conference, he found that Ran Cang's state had become a little bit wrong.

He is not very sure, probably poison.

He worked hard to eliminate all possible people one by one, and finally only Ran Xingchen was left.

He was a little surprised, but not too surprised.

He later vaguely noticed what happened back then, and he even went to find the child, only to find the body of the servant at the edge of Luoxian Cliff.

Ran Cang was responsible for the death of Ran Xingchen's mother, the former empress.It can even be said to be the mastermind.

And Ran Xingchen was almost killed, not necessarily without his participation.

Rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry, not to mention, it is not certain whether Ran Xingchen is a rabbit.

What happened to him in the ten years since he disappeared?

After a long period of observation and research, the national teacher finally decided to let Ran Xingchen's actions go. If he could really attack Ran Cang, then he would have no fatal flaws other than being weak.

Ran Xingchen would be a good emperor.

The national teacher lit a piece of paper on the table, then tidied up his clothes, and walked forward.

At this time, the prince should be in the imperial garden.

***

Luo Shu climbed out of the pit and restored the bones one by one.

He didn't dare to switch in the same way as the bone shrinking skill, the bone might not come back after the conversion.

Luo Shu wiped off his sweat, his lips were pale, his whole body seemed to be fished out of the water, and the fairy-like white clothes now made him look like a water ghost.

Luo Shu dragged his body reluctantly, trying his best to squeeze himself into the corners.

The fog was so thick that the previous quarrel was gone, and it was eerily quiet, as if there was only his suppressed breathing.

Luo Shu tried his best to flatten himself to avoid any mistakes in bone remodeling.

Now that Xiao Ba is not here, he doesn't dare to mess around.

Contacting the ground also became a pain. When Luo Shu lay down, he almost bit his tongue in pain, so he had to stuff the branch that Xiao Ba gave him into his mouth. The branch gnawed, and it tasted delicious, just don't break his new teeth.

Luo Shu twitched all over his body, his veins bulged, and he bit the branch tightly, making a cracking sound.

The white beard fell off, the wrinkles were smoothed out one by one, the muscles became full, and the deformed bones were remodeled.Luo Shu was in so much pain that he didn't even dare to breathe hard, so he had to think of some messy things to divert his attention. Why does his hair only turn gray when he gets old, but he needs to grow a new part of his hair when he's young?What if my bone marrow is broken?What's going on with Hachi? ...

……

Luo Shu thought wildly until he heard the voice of conversation.

"How about it?"

"That old man caught Yin Shiqi, and Yin Shiqi committed suicide."

Luo Shu was slightly taken aback.

A very familiar name.
