The air wave swept out of the stone tower and swept in again, forming a huge purple flower outside the stone tower.

The petals are closed and have not yet bloomed.

In Tang Xuanxuan's sea of ​​consciousness, the same shadow wrapped her in the middle.

Only by constantly stimulating the inner power of Qingmu Jue can she make the most beautiful flowers bloom from the shadow.

However, she had been seriously injured earlier, and her mind was damaged in the illusion.

At this time, she forcibly activated her internal energy, leaving a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth.

The old man shook his head slightly. Although he had found the object of consciousness, it could not bloom. In the end, it could only be trapped in a cocoon.

"Grandpa, please help little sister." Xiaoba was so anxious that he could only plead with the old man.

"It doesn't matter, if a good person goes to the end, this baby is amazingly talented and beautiful. It's not a loss."

As he spoke, he took out a golden elixir the size of a dragon's eye from his sleeve and shook it hard with his palm.

The elixir body collapsed and turned into powder. The old man stretched his hand under Tang Xuanxuan's nose, formed a sword finger shape with one hand, and shot out a breeze.

The wind brought the powder into her nasal cavity, and she didn't even need to take the initiative to absorb it. The two merged with each other, curing her internal injuries and replenishing her internal strength.

"call!"

She exhaled a long breath, with a hint of blood in her breath.

"Bang bang!"

With two muffled sounds, the rays of light came out, and colorful light spots flew around in front of her, contrasting with the purple light between her eyebrows, making her look extremely holy.

After being replenished, she felt that her internal energy was extremely full, and she actually became one point better again.

Tang Xuanxuan gently danced her arms, pinched her fingers in her hands, and brought them together in front of her body.

Aoki Zetsu's internal energy was continuously injected into the phantom, and Zi Xuanhua greedily absorbed it, and the veins of the flower became clearly visible, slowly turning into substance.

If too much internal energy is injected, it will not bloom properly and the flower will be trapped and die.

It's now!

With a thought in her mind, she opened her eyes and shouted: "Open!"

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the purple xuanhua flowers blooming outside the stone tower at the same time.

Purple light emitted from his eyes, and the illusion instantly shattered like a mirror.

The old man looked at the scene in front of him, like mottled lime falling from the wall.

He nodded and said: "Little doll, you have passed this level."

Tang Xuanxuan looked overjoyed, stood up, and said with cupped hands, "Thank you, grandpa, but I'm just curious, why did I see those scenes?"

"It's not difficult to explain, look there." The old man pointed to the magic flower at the top and sighed: "Actually, what it can reflect are the things you most long for and fear in your heart."

The pollen emitted by the magic flower can cause people to fall into intense hallucinations and be unable to extricate themselves.

Fortunately, the Qingmu Jue she practiced enabled her to maintain basic sobriety and judgment.

Not only did she not get lost, but she also made a breakthrough.

"No wonder my father has never been able to pass the test. It turns out that he is still feeling guilty for failing to protect my mother back then." She lowered her head and murmured.

"Your father? Yes, you are so similar." The old man frowned and tilted his head, remembering the scene of that young man crying in pain when he was here.

"Grandpa, do you know my father?" Tang Xuanxuan raised her head curiously and asked in surprise.

"Well, I know everyone. I know everyone who comes to break into the tower." He held up his beard and led Tang Xuanxuan to the third floor.

"

Hey, is it true?"

The curious baby followed obediently and kept asking: "How long have you been here?"

"Huh? How long has it been? I can't remember," the old man paused, thought about it for a while, and left with a loud laugh.

"Probably more than four hundred years ago."

"What?" Tang Xuanxuan stood there blankly, but she felt that she had been tricked and chased after her: "Grandpa, you are bragging!"

The old man came to the third floor, sat cross-legged in front of the low table, and said with a smile: "Bragging? I never brag."

"snort!"

With a moan, she put her hands on her hips, sat down opposite the old man, wrinkled her nose and said, "How can a person live for four hundred years!"

"unless···"

Suddenly, her mind changed and she thought of some bad and unclean "things".

"Little girl, you know how to think nonsense!" The old man stretched out an arm and tapped her little head.

"Ah, it hurts."

Hey, why does it hurt? Can ghosts also touch people?

"I didn't say I was a ghost."

Tang Xuanxuan seemed to have thought of something, and released her little hand covering her head. The old man stretched out his arm, which was gently pinched by her fingers.

"It has no pulse and is so agile? It's actually a puppet. It's incredible!"

The old man in front of him, no matter what he said or did, was no different from ordinary people, and he even had his own thoughts.

Is there really such a technique? The puppet can move freely without silk threads?

"It seems you have thought of it. Yes, I am a puppet."

"Moreover, it is the Tang Sect's highest masterpiece, a 'wisdom'-level puppet."

Silently he retracted his fingers, sat blankly in his seat, and remained silent for a long time.

"Grandpa, you have been here for so many years, are you lonely?"

The old man didn't understand what loneliness was, but for a long time, there was always an indescribable itch under his body.

"Hahaha, this is the first time someone has asked me this question."

"lonely?"

After laughing, the old man glanced aside and said with deep longing in his tone: "It's just for a promise!"

"Back then, I promised him that I would protect the descendants of the Tang family here. How could I not keep my promise?"

"Junior Tang Xuanxuan, thank you for your kindness in protecting me!"

At some point, Tang Xuanxuan had already knelt down aside.

The old man hurriedly helped her up and shouted: "Good baby, please get up quickly. The ground is cold, don't get hurt."

"He created me and was kind to me. This is what he should do."

"Today I accept your worship. I dare say that there is no harm in staying here for four hundred years."

With tears in her eyes, Tang Xuanxuan sat on a low stool and swallowed: "Don't you want to go out for a walk?"

"I haven't had this desire for a long time. Now I just want to protect these three bookshelves."

"Little doll, you have two choices now. One is to choose a skill and leave."

"Second, if you survive my attack for an hour, or if you touch my forehead, you can obtain all the treasures of the Tang Sect and become the master of the Tang Sect."

Tang Xuanxuan wiped away her tears, stood up and said, "I choose second, but I want to know what happened to my father back then."

"That little guy, he was just like you back then. I couldn't bear to bring him here."

"He passed the fourth level

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

?”

"No, he went down three more times and failed without exception."

"I saw that he was very strong. I gave him a skill and asked him to come back next time. I guess he has mastered the skill now."

Tang Xuanxuan understood what happened and rubbed her little face: "In this way, the daughter must do what the father failed to do. Grandpa, take the initiative!"

"Hahaha, don't worry, you should adjust your condition first." The old man picked a leaf from a small tree nearby and said.

"The sea of ​​consciousness you have just opened still needs to be consolidated. Holding this tea leaf in your mouth can help you stabilize your state."

"Ah, but I'm very hungry now," Tang Xuanxuan took the tea leaves and shook them: "This little leaf is not enough to eat."

The angry old man blew his beard and glared, laughing and scolding: "Baby, don't underestimate this leaf. He brought this leaf from a secret realm back then. It can not only fill the stomach, but also stabilize the mood and prevent the warrior from falling into despair.

magic."

"Just bring it if you don't want it. This leaf only grows once every three years. It's very precious!"

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, he stuck out his tongue. Seeing the old man coming to snatch it, he quickly stuffed it into his mouth.
