Helan Heiyun thought she would take her to the Golden Light Pavilion, but unexpectedly, 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.

For ten years, the Northern Wei Dynasty did not promote the cultivation of lotus and lotus roots at all. People from the Southern Dynasty liked to eat lotus roots and enjoyed lotus flowers, but the Northern Wei people thought that the thing was neither salty nor sweet, and it was not as good as radish as raw, and it tasted like chewing wax when eaten cooked.

This prejudice caused by regional habits also made the chefs of the Northern Dynasty not interested in studying the correct way to make fresh lotus roots. For a long time, the chefs of the Northern Dynasty would rather kill sheep and clean up the feces in the intestines of sheep, and felt that it was simpler and more refreshing than digging lotus roots and cleaning the silt on lotus root nodes.

In the past decade, because the northern dynasty migrated south, many cultures and customs have also blended with the south. Many powerful families also raise fish and lotus flowers at home. It is undeniable that even if they are carefully treated, the north is too dry and rainy during the time when the lotus flowers bloom. Therefore, when the lotus flowers bloom in the lotus pond, it seems that they are still a little bit more beautiful and charming, and there is always a little difference with the lotus ponds in the southern lakes.

The weather in the north became colder and earlier than the south. When the southern dynasty had just entered autumn, the lotus leaves in many lotus ponds in the Northern Wei Dynasty had often withered, which was even more inseparable from good looks and poetry.

However, over the past ten years, some painters of the Northern Dynasty have gained a great reputation in the south for their desolate and miserable paintings of the Desolate Lotus and Cold Ponds, which is also an unexpected surprise.

Because ten years ago, many bachelors and painters in the north were always sneered and disdained because of the prejudice of scholars from the Southern Dynasty.

"Do you think I will take you to Golden Light Pavilion?"

Maybe he finally decided on such an important thing, and he felt that talking to such a young and smart little girl was indeed a pleasant thing. The old woman looked at her with a little surprised expression and couldn't help laughing.

"Any hobbies have unique reasons. I think there must be special reasons like you like gold, or even use gold to cover the walls." Helan Heiyun nodded, "Actually, according to my imagination, you are likely to put the most important thing in it, and it is possible that that thing needs to be sealed with gold."

"Actually, there are special reasons why I like gold, but it's just because I like that passionate color. When I was a child, my father once planted a golden sunflower for me. I especially liked it. That golden color is still constantly appearing in my memory."

The old woman reached out toward the lotus pond in front of her. As her fingers pointed, the center of the lotus pond slowly raised, and the splashes and mud waves rolled up, as if a large black fish was suddenly alarmed and jumped up from the mud.

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

The old woman did not look at the splashes and mud waves, but turned to look at the Helan Black Clouds. She became serious and said, "In a sense, this can be regarded as inheriting my mantle."

Helan Heiyun thought for a while and looked at her and said, "When you talked to me before, you think I am very young and many things have not yet been determined. Your view on this world may change with time. Just like I followed the Demon Sect before, but now I decided to become his enemy. Aren't you worried that I will become your enemy in the future just like I betray the Demon Sect, and then become your enemy."

"You are indeed very young, so you may not be able to understand it yet. Sometimes people who live at this time do not really live as they want to live as they want."

The old woman looked at her and said seriously, "If the power I was worried about really exists, if it is really the same as you and I have judged, the Demon Sect at this time has become a tool of that power. As long as you inherit my mantle, you will naturally fight against that power, because no matter how you change in the future, I am sure that you have a boundary in your heart. You are not the kind of person who is easy to surrender. If someone wants to kill you, you will not dare to fight because of fear."

"Thanks."

Helan Heiyun did not see the churning splashes and mud waves at this time. She looked at the old woman and felt a little moved.

"Did you want Yuan Yan to inherit your mantle?" She continued seriously: "It's just that because things come too quickly, Yuan Yan can't have time to get here. But I can guarantee that as long as I finish what I want to do, I can pass your mantle to Yuan Yan again."

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

Helan Black Cloud was slightly stunned.

The old woman said: "Of course it's not that she is not worthy. If she looks at it purely by her qualifications and nature, she can certainly inherit my mantle. But I have told you before that since the rebellion in the north many years ago, I have suspected that today's power is real. The more I do, the less I can pass my mantle to her."

Helan Heiyun quickly grasped the point in shock, "Do you think she is related to today's power?"

"I can't be sure, but I can't take risks like this."

The old woman smiled slightly, "I believe Yuan Yan doesn't know it either, but if it's the same as what I guessed at this time, if I really pass on my bowl to Yuan Yan, it's very likely that I'll be like the spring rain moistening things silently, and I've been trapped by this force for countless years."

After a pause, some expression of emotion appeared in her smile, "Actually, if this is true, I really admire this power. This power can not only manipulate people like the Demon Sect, but also make everything happen naturally without bloodshed. And everyone is actually kept in the dark."

Helan Heiyun looked at the old woman in disbelief.

She had looked at her with admiration and had reexamined the old woman whom the Demon Sect was deeply afraid of, but she truly understood that the old woman could think of and see much more worlds than hers.

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

"There is a spiritual vein under this lotus pond. I have been raising this thing for so many years. This thing used to be the teeth of some kind of sea beast. It has been refined into a unique magic weapon and needs to be nourished by a unique water element magic array."

When the old woman's voice sounded again, circles of lush water bloomed from the lotus pond, and something as big as an ordinary dagger flew out.

This thing is black, with a bright surface, and is really like a tooth.

"The teeth of the sea beast... were refined into a unique magic weapon..." Helan Heiyun listened to her words and suddenly thought of a record. Her breathing paused completely, "Is it Youyue..."

The old woman knew that Helan Heiyun had guessed it. She looked at one of the palace with some emotion and said softly: "For the entire world of cultivators, the methods of using martial arts and true essence are constantly improving. They have been passed down from generation to generation, and many valuable experiences have been accumulated. But what is ridiculous is that after a certain peak, the power of later cultivators seems to never surpass the ancient times, and the difference is getting bigger and bigger. Do you know why?"

Helan Heiyun did not answer. In addition to being shocked, a strong sense of warning arose in her heart at this time. She felt that a powerful aura implicitly murderous intent appeared in the direction the old woman was looking at.

"Because after ancient practitioners had just understood the method of practice, powerful and rare spiritual medicines and spiritual materials that could refine magic weapons emerged one after another. It was equivalent to the accumulation of this world for billions of years before the emergence of practitioners. Some things can be used by these practitioners after using them, and after they are used, they will be gone in the future."

The old woman laughed, "But the most important thing is that the powerful practitioners have been fighting. In every era, many things that no longer exist in later generations will be destroyed and disappeared due to competition. So in my opinion, if the spiritual waste this time lasts as long as before, after this spiritual waste, the power of the world of the practitioners will be even more unbearable than the past. So in fact, the education of scholars in the Southern Dynasties and the rules of benevolence, righteousness and propriety in the long run, may be more important than the power of the practitioners. This is also the reason why I and the emperor must move the capital to Luoyang back then."

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

After saying this, she looked at Helan Heiyun and said seriously: "I never think blood is the most important. In my opinion, a person's will and character are more important than talent and blood."
