"Don't look at me like this. I was originally going to give it to you. After all, I was once an ally on the same front. I should help you recover. But who told you to be so shameless and lie to a child? Why don't I give you a beating?"
It’s hard to calm down.”
Hearing Jian Jiu's extremely needy tone, Xiaota remained silent for a while, but from the faint sounds of grinding his teeth, it could be seen that Xiaota was not as calm as he appeared.
"Fellow Taoist, what can you tell me?" Jian Jiu's teasing expression was palpable.
"nothing"
Alas, forced by the situation, Xiaota lamented in his heart.
……………………
"It's settled. It will protect you three times in times of crisis in the future. Now, just give it that exquisite little tower," Jian Jiu said to Shi Hao.
"I know, by the way, do you want to give it the sword embryo?" When he noticed the sword embryo placed together with the exquisite small tower, Shi Hao turned around and asked.
"No need, it won't be long before the Broken Sword can't keep up with your cultivation progress. After all, it's just a true artifact. Although it has some origins, its potential is limited. Besides, what belongs to others is someone else's after all, no matter what.
It will fit perfectly with you. Now that you have this sword embryo, it can be refined into your precious weapon, and you can hold it to protect your way."
"When I get back, I will teach you a supreme sword technique. The unparalleled magical power will definitely be higher than the Kunpeng treasure technique. Once you practice it to a great level, it will be easy for you to become invincible at the same level."
"Ah?! Thank you Brother Jiu"
"Hahahaha, let's go, tell me about your experience on the way back."
…………………………
In Shicun, after landing, Jian Jiu did not go to Liu Shen immediately. Instead, he immediately disappeared after putting down Shi Hao and disappeared. This made Liu Shen, who was originally quite happy to see him back, confused.
After Shi Hao met everyone in the village for the first time, Liu Shen immediately called him to him for questioning.
"Huh? You're saying that you got a ghost ship in the North Sea, and he looked a little uncomfortable after seeing it? Where is the ghost ship?"
"Took away by Brother Ninth"
"Oh, it's okay. You can go back and reunite with the villagers first."
After Shi Hao left, Liu Shen's heart was still haunted by many doubts and some curiosity.
Two days later, Jian Jiu returned with his face and expression as usual, as if nothing had happened. He smiled and joked with Liu Shen, and even took the time to give the black-bone chicken cub he had caught to Shi Hao, asking him to take revenge.
Some of Butian Pavilion's broken feuds, um, and then I ate a portion of chicken legs and wings secretly made by Mr. Shicun, and gave them a very high rating.
All of this seems to be no different from before, but as familiar as Liu Shen is, one can see the slightest hint of haze in his heart.
On this day, Liu Shen found Jian Jiu who was chatting with the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, and called him to an uninhabited cliff. The two sat side by side, looking at the lush ancient forest below, and listening to the sound coming from nowhere.
The roars of beasts came one after another, and they looked at each other without saying a word.
After a long while, Liu Shen spoke first.
"Don't you have anything you want to tell me? What can't be said between Taoist couples?"
Hearing this, Jian Jiu couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my sister! It's just that I can't say it, I can't say it, I don't dare to say it."
"Huh? Did you discover anything bad about the future during this trip?"
"No, how is it possible? The future will be great, foreign lands will be pacified, darkness will be wiped out, the world will be brilliant, the golden age will be prosperous, the most powerful people will gather, the strong people from the past, present and future will gather together, old friends will reappear in the world, and the whole world will celebrate together.
Rejoice together, the future will be endless and magnificent!!"
This is not a lie. After all, Liu Shen knows him too well. How could he not see his lies? Jian Jiu just didn't tell the whole story. He told the truth, but there were also some things he didn't tell...
"Then why have you been feeling a little unhappy lately?"
"..."
Liu Shen hit the nail on the head and exposed Jian Jiu's little thoughts, which made him quite embarrassed.
"The future you see may not be true. Everything is uncertain. There are countless variables in the world, but there will always be a slight change. Didn't you once say that you are the biggest variable in the world? Why should you persist now?
Obsessed with uncertainty?"
"It's me who is persistent," Jian Jiu sighed and nodded.
"I don't necessarily want to get to the bottom of it. The main reason is that I don't want you to hold it in your heart alone. If you have anything to say, you can tell me. Doesn't Xiaojiu believe me?"
"How could it be possible? You are my sister and my Taoist companion."
"Taoist couples among practitioners are like-minded and share life and death. Since you and I have decided to live and die together, we naturally have to work together to survive everything ahead. Why do we need to keep it in our hearts alone? Don't resist some pressure alone.
!”
"Hey hey hey"
Looking at the peerless beauty with a stern look on his face, Jian Jiu let out an unknown silly laugh, just like a man who had a cabbage in his arms ^￣)^. With a couple like this, what more can a husband ask for! Meeting Liu Shen is the biggest thing in his life.
Opportunity.
"Actually, sister, Taoist couples have double meanings. One is Taoist couples among monks, and the other is couples in the mortal world. I don't know..."
Before he finished speaking, the beauty with a bright red face covered his mouth. Looking at Sister Liu Shen's shyness, he stopped talking. It was definitely not because he couldn't beat Liu Shen now. Well, it was definitely not.
…
Seeing Liu Shen's figure disappearing from the place, Jian Jiu let out a breath, but he was fooled, and he almost couldn't resist. His expression returned to calm, and the message he saw not long ago reappeared in his mind, but there was still some confusion.
wry smile.
"...Sword Lord...the road...is missing...and the ancestral sacrificial spirit...follows...without a trace..."
It was these intermittent handwritings that made Jianjiu depressed for several days.
This was the message he got from the ghost ship. It no longer read "I am the only one left" as it originally said. Instead, it wrote some words that were difficult to read clearly.
Those intermittent handwritings were all shrouded by invisible laws. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see the rest of the handwriting clearly, as if they had been erased by something. Most of the remaining handwritings were incomplete, and he could only barely read them.
identify.
"call--"
Jian Jiu shook his head, put down what he was thinking, and stopped worrying about unknown puzzles. As long as he was strong enough in the future, he would naturally be able to deal with anything unexpected. Strength was the foundation of everything.
Furthermore, it seems that the final outcome is quite good. Just like what he said to Liu Shen, in the golden age, strong men from both ancient and modern times will appear. That time will be an unknown number of epochs later. By then, naturally
There is a solution.
As he once said, he is the biggest variable in the world!
