Helan Heiyun thought that she would take herself to the Golden Light Pavilion, but what she didn't expect was that the old woman did not take her to the Golden Light Pavilion, but went to the old woman's garden and came to the lotus pond in the garden.

The people of the Southern Dynasty liked to eat lotus root and enjoyed lotus flowers, but the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty felt that the thing was not salty or sweet, and it was not as good as radish when eaten raw, and it tasted the same as chewing wax when cooked.

For a long time, the cooks of the Northern Dynasty would rather kill sheep and clean up the feces in the intestines of the sheep, which was simpler and more enjoyable than digging the lotus root and cleaning the silt on the lotus root.

In the past ten years, because the northern dynasty migrated to the south, many cultures and customs have also blended with the south, and many powerful men will raise fish and lotus flowers at home, but it is undeniable that even if it is carefully served, the north is too dry and rainy during the time when the lotus blooms, so when the lotus flowers bloom in the lotus pond, it seems that there is always a little bit of delicateness, and there is always a gap between the lotus pond in the southern lake.

The weather in the north turned cold and earlier than in the south, and when the southern dynasty was just in autumn, the lotus leaves in many lotus ponds in the Northern Wei Dynasty were often withered, which could not be associated with beauty and poetry.

However, in the past ten years, some painters of the Northern Dynasty have gained a great reputation in the south with their desolate and miserable dry lotus cold pond paintings, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

Because ten years earlier, many scholars and painters in the north were always mentioned with scorn and disdain because of the prejudice of the scholars of the Southern Dynasty.

"You think I'm going to take you to the Golden Light Pavilion?"

It was about the fact that such an important matter had finally been decided, and that it was indeed a pleasure to talk to such a young and clever little girl, and the old woman could not help laughing when she looked a little surprised.

"Any fetish has a unique reason, and I think there must be a special reason why you are so fond of gold, even that you use gold to veneer your walls. Helan Heiyun nodded, "Actually, according to my imagination, it is very likely that you have put the most important thing in it, and it is possible that that kind of thing needs to be sealed with gold to seal its vitality." ”

"Actually, I like gold for a special reason, but it's just because I like that kind of warm color, when I was a child, my father once planted me a golden sunflower, I especially like it, that golden yellow, and it still appears in my memory. ”

The old woman stretched out her hand to point towards the lotus pond in front of her, and as her finger pointed, the center of the lotus pond slowly bulged, and the water splashed and the mud waves rolled up, like a large black fish suddenly being alarmed and jumping up from the mud.

"Have you decided to accept this pain and strength?"

The old woman didn't look at the splashes and muddy waves, but turned her head to look at Helan Heiyun, she became serious, and said, "In a sense, this can be regarded as inheriting my mantle. ”

Helan Heiyun thought for a while, looked at her and said, "You said when you talked to me before, you think that I am very young, many things are not yet determined, and my views on this world may change over time. Just like I followed the Demon Sect before, but now I have decided to become his enemy, don't you worry that I will become your enemy again in the same way that I betrayed the Demon Sect in the future. ”

"You are indeed very young, so you may not be able to understand that sometimes people live at this time, not what they want to live, but what they want to live. ”

The old woman looked at her and said seriously, "If the power I am worried about really exists, if it is really the same as you and I judge, and the Demon Sect at this time has also become a tool of that force, then as long as you inherit my mantle, you will naturally have to fight against that force, because no matter how you change in the future, I am sure that you have your own boundaries in your heart, you are not the kind of person who is easy to give into, someone wants to kill you, and you can't dare to fight because of fear." ”

"Thank you. ”

Helan Heiyun didn't look at the churning splashes and muddy waves at this time, she looked at the old woman, and her heart was inexplicably moved.

"Did you originally want Yuan Yan to inherit your mantle?" she continued seriously, "It's just that because things came too quickly, Yuan Yan couldn't have had time to get here. But I can guarantee that as long as I am allowed to do what I want to do, I can pass on your mantle to Yuan Yan again. ”

The old woman shook her head and said, "I never thought of passing on the mantle to her. ”

Helan Heiyun was slightly stunned.

The old woman said: "Of course, it is not that she is unworthy, if it is purely based on her qualifications and nature, of course she can inherit my mantle." But as I told you before, from the beginning of the rebellion in the North many years ago, I doubted the existence of this force today. The more this is the case, the less I can pass on my mantle to her. ”

Helan Heiyun quickly grasped the point in shock, "Do you think she has something to do with today's power?"

"Not sure, but I can't take such a risk. ”

The old woman laughed slightly, "I believe that Yuan Yan herself doesn't know, but if it's the same as I guessed at this time, if I really pass on my mantle to Yuan Yan, then it is very likely that I will really fall into the trap that this force has been planning for countless years, just like the spring rain moisturizing things silently." ”

After a pause, there was a look of emotion in her smile, "Actually, if that's the case, I really admire this power, this power can not only manipulate a character like the Demon Sect, but also make everything go smoothly without bloodshed." And all of them, in fact, are in the dark. ”

Helan Heiyun looked at the old woman in disbelief.

She had already been impressed before, and she had re-examined the old woman that the Demon Sect was deeply afraid of, but only now did she truly understand that the things that this old woman could think of and see the world were far more than her.

If there is really an invisible force in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is like a demon king hiding in the shadows slowly encroaching on this world, and she is like a god, who has smelled the breath of this demon king many years ago.

"There is a spiritual vein under this lotus pond, and I have been raising this thing for so many years. This thing used to be the tooth of some kind of sea beast, and it was refined into a unique magic weapon, and it also needed to be nourished by a unique water element magic circle. ”

When the old woman's voice sounded again, circles of glossy water burst out of the lotus pond, and something the size of an ordinary dagger flew out.

It was black, shiny, and shaped like a tooth.

"Sea beast teeth... It has been refined into a unique magic weapon..."Helan Heiyun listened to her words, and suddenly thought of a certain record, and her breathing instantly stopped completely, "Could it be Youyue..."

The old woman knew that Helan Heiyun had guessed, she looked at one of the palaces with some emotion, and said softly: "For the entire world of cultivators, the use of exercises and true yuan is constantly improving, passed down from generation to generation, and a lot of valuable experience has been accumulated, but the funny thing is that after a certain peak, the strength of the cultivators of later generations seems to never be able to surpass the ancient times, and the difference is getting bigger and bigger, do you know why?"

Helan Heiyun didn't answer, in addition to being shocked, a strong sense of alarm rose in her heart at this time, and she intuitively felt that a powerful aura implied killing intent in the direction of the old woman's view.

"Because after the ancient cultivators had just comprehended the method of cultivation, powerful and rare elixirs and spiritual materials that could refine magic weapons emerged in this world one after another, which is equivalent to the accumulation of hundreds of millions of years in this world before the emergence of cultivators, all of which could be taken by these cultivators. There are some things that after they are used, they will not be there in the future. ”

The old woman laughed, "But the most important thing is that the powerful cultivators are always fighting, and in every era, many things that no longer exist in future generations will be destroyed and disappear because of the struggle. Therefore, in my opinion, if this spiritual famine lasts as long as before, after this spiritual famine, the power of the cultivator's world will be even more unbearable than before. Therefore, in fact, the indoctrination of those scholars in the Southern Dynasty, the rules of benevolence, righteousness and etiquette, in the long run, may be more important than the strength of the practitioners. This is also the reason why the emperor and I must move the capital to Luoyang. ”

This is my opinion, and it does not mean that it is absolutely correct. ”

After saying this, she looked at Helan Heiyun and said very seriously: "I never think that bloodline is the most important, people's will and conduct, in my opinion, are more important than talent and bloodline. ”

Helan Heiyun didn't know why she deliberately said such a thing again at this time, and she didn't have time to think about it more, that powerful aura was already approaching, and the black tooth had turned into a cloud of ghostly light, falling on her chest.
