There was heavy snowfall, and the sky and the earth were filled with darkness.

This rarely visited bamboo house in the mountains and forests has an extra "guest" today.

Zhou Qingmu turned around and saw an old man holding a pipe in his sight, wearing a somewhat tattered purple gold Taoist robe.

The old man exhaled thick smoke from his mouth, almost covering his face.

But Zhou Qingmu recognized it and subconsciously said: "Old Huangtou?"

When the smoke dissipated, Old Huangtou smiled and waved his hand and said, "Xiaomu, how are you doing lately?"

However, Zhou Qingmu suddenly lost his energy and whispered: "You will know if I am okay or not if you look at me like this."

In Zhou Qingmu's recovered memory as a blessing in disguise, the old man in front of him was the person who helped him the most after his parents died. When Zhou Qingmu was still so young at the time and was about to starve to death many times, it was this taciturn man named Huang.

The old man took him into the dark room and gave him a full meal. After Zhou Qingmu gained strength and could be self-reliant, the old man left the town. Many people in the town said that he was already a general.

People who died left the town to find a good place to die. But Zhou Qingmu didn't think so. When he was still young at that time, he always thought that the old Huangtou was an immortal and an expert.

Since then, Zhou Qingmu has never seen the old man surnamed Huang again. For some time, even Zhou Qingmu felt from the bottom of his heart that the old Huangtou was probably dead, until this memory gradually became blurred.

However, after thinking about it, Zhou Qingmu suddenly remembered that many years ago, when the three brothers were still walking in the rivers and lakes, he had met the old man named Huang. At that time, he felt a little familiar for no reason, but he never thought

He is indeed an old friend.

"Hahaha, I came here today just because of this matter for you." Old Huangtou laughed and walked slowly into the courtyard of the bamboo house.

This old man, even though he is old, still shows his pride.

When Zhou Qingmu was about to reply, the voice of the girl next to him rang in his heart, "Be careful, this old man's aura is a bit weird, even I can't see it clearly. But his cultivation is really that of an ordinary soul."

territory."

Hearing this, Zhou Qingmu, who didn't feel the need to be on guard against the old man at all, smiled, as if getting rid of his sullenness, and said: "Miss Lin, don't worry, this old yellow head was very nice to me when I was very young.

alright."

Lin Chengshuang just frowned slightly and said no more, but also got up and walked to the bamboo fence above, as if to leave the two of them to talk.

"From what I've seen, this girl has now reached the realm of the Demon Emperor. You must be the daughter of the Beiming Dragon Emperor, right?" Old Huangtou did not move, but looked at the person standing in front of the bamboo fence with an indifferent look on his face.

Lin Chengshuang.

Lin Chengshuang's expression slightly condensed when he heard this, but he just nodded without saying anything, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Zhou Qingmu waved his hands with a smile and shouted: "Old Huangtou, come and sit down!"

Immediately, Zhou Qingmu moved to the side where Lin Cheng was sitting, leaving most of the space for Old Huangtou.

Old Huangtou was not restrained and sat beside Zhou Qingmu happily.

"Old Huangtou, how do you know I'm here? Listen to you, this trip is for me? How can you, a human, come to this demon clan's hinterland? Are you lying to me?" Zhou Qingmu turned around.

He stared straight at Old Huangtou, as if he wanted to see something in this old man.

But no one knew that his appearance was just a superficial effort to make himself look better.

Because the old man in front of him is the "elder" he recognizes from the bottom of his heart in this world...

However, his actual situation is not much better than that of a candle in the wind and an old tree with fallen leaves.

But Old Huangtou just laughed: "Hahaha, Xiaomu is a lot more cautious now after experiencing life and death. To tell you the truth, old man, I was once the person in charge of divination in the Xianghuo Ancestral Temple of Dahong Dynasty in Nakan Shuizhou.

The old Taoist priest. Although he ran away for a while, the ancestral temple was in short supply of Taoist priests who could tell fortunes and had good cultivation skills, so the old man and I later left the town and went back. Until now, I have cultivated my skills all my life.

Not very high, but I have also studied some small methods of incarnation. So, later you can see a clone of me in Duize Prefecture. Of course, these are not the point. The point is that in the past few years, I was acting for

When the royal family was divining the weather, I also divined a divination for you. Unexpectedly, it was an unprecedented ominous sign. That day, I immediately resigned from my belongings and asked the emperor for a customs clearance order. I borrowed Dahong's

Face, I have been looking for your direction through divination all the way, and I have come here. Fortunately, not long ago, the hexagram that represented you like a dead tree in my hand has resurrected, but it is not completely dead wood. I expected it.

With your current situation, I made up my mind to move on. Fortunately, old man, I finally met you, and my hard work paid off."

The old man talked a lot in one breath, and by the end, he couldn't help but gasp.

Zhou Qingmu thought about it carefully and nodded. He did remember that many years ago when he was led in by the old man, the old man took a drop of his own blood and made a fortune for himself and made a symbol to symbolize him.

Guapan. However, Zhou Qingmu obviously didn't care about this at that time. But remembering these now proves that the old man did not tell any lies. Because Zhou Qingmu could clearly see that one of the old man's hands was holding tightly.

A token with the word "Hong" vaguely engraved on it.

There used to be a meeting between the leaders of the major dynasties of the human and demon tribes. After that meeting, there was also a rule. Anyone holding a royal order from a certain country or a certain tribe could, after being notified,

Walking and doing things in the opponent's territory. Of course, the premise is that you can't do anything too out of the norm. For example, killing people, setting fires, secretly inquiring about the secrets of a certain country or a certain tribe. If you are discovered, you will probably die.

In fact, after this rule came out, many things happened that caused headaches for the emperors of various countries and the leaders of the monster clan, and no one or monster holding the imperial order appeared for a long time. Therefore, it is probably a bit extraordinary for the old man to come here.

of means.

"I made you worry and went through so much trouble for me, but I'm actually doing pretty well now." Zhou Qingmu said solemnly.

Old Huangtou just smiled, then stretched out his hand to stroke Zhou Qingmu's white hair, and then continued: "I brought you in and lived with you for so many years. In fact, old man, I also regarded you as half of my son, so what can I do?

I can't bear to see you live in such pain."

As he said that, the old man picked up the pipe again and took a deep puff. When the thick smoke was exhaled, the sadness in the old man's eyes seemed to disappear.

"Old sir, if you have any way to make this fool recover, you can just say it, no matter whether he wants it or not." From the bamboo fence above, Lin Chengshuang's cold voice passed into the two "white-headed men" below.

Ears.

The old man was startled, then turned to look at the woman in plain clothes above him, then turned to Zhou Qingmu with a smile and said: "It seems that over the years, Xiaomu has met a woman who is very good to you. There is such a woman

It's a good thing to have it by your side. Remember to cherish it. You can't cherish it too much."

The old man's gentle voice fell slowly, but Zhou Qingmu couldn't help but dare not look at the woman, and simply whispered: "Old Huangtou, if you have any way to make me recover as before, please just tell me. I'm grateful.

No matter what, if there is an opportunity in the future, let me treat you well."

This old man had been very kind to him when he was young, and now he traveled across mountains and rivers to such a "dangerous place". How could Zhou Qingmu not be moved? No matter whether the old man had a solution to his current situation, he should repay his kindness.

Already.

Inadvertently, a dazed figure had wandered back into the yard from somewhere, and was now lying on the bed, sound asleep.

But Old Huangtou shook his head and said with a smile: "When you are alive, you do good deeds for the sake of your own virtue and good fortune in the next life. It is not about any kindness. Xiaomu, why do you care? Okay, okay, these principles are what I am saying.

The old man talks too much, and you young people should be tired of it, so I’d better get down to business, hahaha.”

Zhou Qingmu fell silent and did not reply, but listened carefully to what the old man said.

"When I was walking in the secular world, I heard that the Lu family in Dikun Prefecture had a Heartbroken Moon Flower, which had some extremely magical properties. Later, after I returned to the ancestral temple, I read the ancient royal books and found out a little bit about it.

Understood. It is said that this flower only grows in extremely shady places, and there may not be one flower in a thousand years. But the strange thing is that this flower grows in extremely shady places, but it blooms toward the sun. This also makes many people, including the old man and me,

I can't understand it. But these are not important. What is important is that according to records in ancient books, the origin of this flower contains a pure energy, energy that can give birth to human flesh and bones! Although it may not be so magical,

But I can conclude that this elixir, which is also regarded as a treasure by the Lu family, must contain extremely strong vitality, and may be the best antidote for Xiao Mu's current body." Old Huangtou exhaled smoke.

, said slowly.

These words do sound a bit evil and unbelievable. But if it is really as effective as what the old man said, it is indeed the most effective elixir for Zhou Qingmu now.

Because the extremely healing elixir that Lin Chengshuang brought today only increased Zhou Qingmu's vitality and did not restore his nearly exhausted vitality.

That white hair is still the same as before.

Zhou Qingmu frowned slightly and did not immediately answer the old man's words. But after hearing this, the man in plain clothes suddenly disappeared into the bamboo building.

Looking again, there was already a shadow in the sky.

Zhou Qingmu stood up slowly and said with a smile: "Old Huangtou, please follow me in and sit down first. It's really cold outside in this windy and snowy day."

With that said, Zhou Qingmu walked into the inner room of the bamboo house from the front.

When Zhou Qingmu lit the fire and turned around to look, the old man had disappeared, and there was a line of vigorous and powerful words on the snow.

"My child, you don't need to take what I said, old man, seriously. After all, if you really want to go to the Lu family, it will be extremely dangerous. I just hope that in the days to come, you will take care of yourself and live a more relaxed life.

The more attached you are to the thing itself, the more painful it will be.”

Zhou Qingmu suddenly ran out of the yard, but could only see the blurry back of the old man, dragging a long trace in the snow.

With tears in his eyes, the white-haired man used all his strength to shout out what he had said when his parents passed away:

"Old Huangtou, what should I do if I get married but don't have any elder relatives?"
