The old woman in the palace woke up earlier than usual and asked for breakfast earlier than usual, so when she got up to eat, there was no sunrise in Luoyang City.

The old woman's appetite was not bad, she drank a bowl of porridge, and after eating a bowl of fish ball soup, she even added a bowl of porridge.

When the second bowl of porridge was brought to her, she asked a young maid outside the door to come to her, and motioned for the young maid to sit down across from her.

"They all went to Shangqiu, why did you stay here?"

The old woman added a spoonful of sugar to this bowl of pumpkin porridge and slowly stirred it, in the process, she looked at the eyebrows of the young palace maid in front of her, and continued: "It stands to reason that even if you don't go to Shangqiu, you shouldn't stay in Luoyang, if the Demon Sect comes to Luoyang, if he doesn't kill you, his subordinates should be the first to think of killing you." ”

The young palace maid's face was very calm, and she said, "It's probably because you're in Luoyang." ”

The old woman suddenly laughed and said, "Your name is Helan Heiyun?"

The young palace maid nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The old woman looked at her with some satisfaction, she slowly drank the slightly sweet pumpkin porridge, and then said, "Talk to me." ”

"Good. ”

The young woman dressed as a palace maid was Helan Heiyun, she was not nervous, and she didn't feel that she had nothing to say. She even scooped a bowl of fish ball soup out of the stone pot and drank it slowly, before she said: "I know that Zhongshan Wang Yuanying didn't want me to live at first, but then it was your intention that I survived." ”

The old woman glanced at her and smiled: "To be honest, I was a little surprised, you even found out about this kind of thing, but if you want to repay the favor, then you don't have to, you were originally a subordinate of the Demon Sect, and you are our very dangerous enemy, you can live because I am surprised by your willpower, and I think it will be very valuable for you to survive." ”

"Say repay, then it's over. ”

Helan Heiyun drank the fish ball soup, she felt a little light, and found that there was only sugar and no salt on the table, so she simply poured a bowl of fish ball soup into her mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it, "It's just that I have at least learned a lot in the process, and I know that some people may not fulfill their promises even if they do, but with some people... But there is no need to promise. ”

"That's nature. ”

The old woman was a little proud, "The Yuan clan never treats friends badly. ”

"Lord Demon Sect has always thought you were terrifying. Helan Heiyun frowned slightly, she became serious, and said softly: "He has a high opinion of you, although he thinks that you are too old, and your cultivation is comparable to the Three Saints of Nantian at most, it is impossible to surpass the Three Saints of Nantian." Because you are too old, in terms of combat power, he feels that you cannot defeat any of the three saints of the Southern Heavens. But he thinks that the exercises you know and your understanding of many cultivation methods may be better than the Three Sages of the Southern Heavens. Until the first two years, he deliberately helped you find an elixir that would help Shouyuan, just for fear that you would learn from Shen Yue and suddenly take him out of this world. ”

The old woman seemed to feel a little funny when she heard this, she pursed her lips, shook her head, and said, "This person from the Demon Sect, he is smart or smart, but he is too sharp. ”

If you don't deny it, it means that his guess should be correct. ”

Helan Heiyun looked at her and said, "Then it stands to reason that if you want to go to the Demon Killing Sect, then you should also go to Shangqiu, but you just stayed in Luoyang." ”

The old woman restrained her smile and said, "So that's why you're staying here." ”

Helan Heiyun nodded and said, "So I don't think you necessarily think that killing the Demon Sect is the most important thing in your heart, or rather, there are more important things that you need to deal with." ”

The old woman didn't speak, just learned from Helan Heiyun who had just swallowed the fish ball soup, and drank all the pumpkin porridge in the bowl in one gulp, and then said, "Go on." ”

"This massacre of ordinary sergeants... It's not what the Demon Sect likes, even if he wants to keep killing people to replenish the true element, he won't use such a stupid method. Helan Heiyun looked at her and said more seriously: "The Demon Sect is smarter than any of his subordinates, including me, so since it is something I can think of, he must also think of it." ”

The old woman was a little admiring, "So, do you think there are people in this world who can force him to do things he doesn't like?"

"He has become a true saint in the world, and it is logically impossible. Helan Heiyun said: "But the truth is not as good as the truth, since he did it, it shows that someone can really force him to do something he doesn't like." ”

"Back then...... Before moving the capital to Luoyang, something happened in those important towns in the north that made me feel that something was wrong, and I always felt that some people seemed to be secretly watching the world from a high position. ”

The old woman also became serious, she looked up at the sky outside, and then said: "It's just that I have been checking for many years, but those people have never shown any horses, I am afraid that it is not until now that these people finally can't help but appear in my sight." ”

Helan Heiyun was a little shocked, and said, "You know it's..."

"I don't know. The old woman simply interrupted her words neatly and said, "But at this time, it should be concluded that the kind of power that makes me feel uneasy and does not seem to exist really exists, and it should be the person who persecuted the Demon Sect." ”

"So what I thought of, you've thought of a long time ago. Helan Heiyun took a deep breath and said, "I asked Xiao Donghuang to arrange for me to come to the palace to see you, originally because I thought I knew the Demon Sect better than you. ”

The old woman really laughed, she even looked at Helan Heiyun with some pity, and said, "Actually, without my meaning, you won't appear in this palace." ”

Helan Heiyun was slightly stunned.

The old woman looked her in the eye and said, "I just told you that I let you live because I was amazed at your willpower and ability to endure pain, and I said you were useful. Of course, you are still very young, and your character and view of the world are not stable in my opinion, and there is even infinite possibility of change. But at least for now, you've satisfied me. ”

Helan Heiyun's brows furrowed deeply, she was silent for a breath, and then asked, "What are you going to let me do?"

The old woman looked at her calmly and said, "Inherit a powerful power I have given you, in my opinion, this power is also very likely to be the power that the other party wants to seize after using the Demon Sect to transfer the tiger away from the mountain." ”

Helan Heiyun's breathing paused slightly, and she thought of a possibility, "To use this kind of power, it will be very painful and require strong willpower?"

"Very tolerable. The old woman said.

Helan Heiyun had countless questions in his heart at this time, and the old woman was also very clear.

She glanced at the sky, then at Helan Heiyun, then stood up and said, "You come with me." ”
