to pure life

The edge of the hole is about two meters in diameter, and those dreamy light green spots come out of it. It is impossible to see the bottom of the hole clearly, but Simingrui has an intuition that the depth of this circular hole may not be his own. Conceivable, or it has no end at all.

Is this the fountain of life?Although this thing doesn't seem to have much to do with spring water, Si Mingrui feels that something is flowing slowly below, and the call from the bottom of his heart makes him never want to leave this place...Si Mingrui took a few steps forward, and now his whole body Right on the edge of the hole.

Alga frowned, as if he wanted to step forward to stop Si Mingrui from getting too close, but he didn't want the robed man next to him to stop him, "Grey?"

"Look, if you don't even have this bit of perseverance, why not..."

Hearing this sentence, Alga turned his head with a blank expression on his face.

Si Mingrui didn't do anything else next, it really looked like he was completely immersed in the soul resonance emanating from the fountain of life.Just when the other two felt that there was no need to wait any longer, the green light spot overflowing from the fountain of life suddenly moved away from the body of the black-haired young man, not because of disgust, both Gray and Alga could feel it. Because the opponent suddenly exudes a mellow power close to the origin of the earth.

Si Mingrui opened his eyes that were lightly closed just now, then turned his head, and the man in white robe who was staring at him stretched out his hand and took off his hood.Si Mingrui was surprised for a moment. In fact, the other person looked ordinary, but he looked very interesting, but the man had a large black tattoo on the left face. The one on him is exactly the same.

"G... Lai?" Slowly saying the name, Si Mingrui looked directly into the pair of light brown pupils.

Gray's long flaxen hair was combed into a bunch behind his head and hung down to his waist. He was also tall and strong in a beige gown. Their eyes collided with each other, and sparks were sparked in mid-air.

"Ahem..." Alga secretly pulled Grai's sleeve, reminding him quietly.

"Welcome." Gray nodded slightly, looking away first.Si Mingrui also nodded, but quietly put his left hand behind his back, hiding the ring on his finger in his sleeve.

"Arga, do you have something else to do? I'll just take him away." Hearing the excuse to dismiss himself, Alga raised his eyebrows at Si Mingrui, and then took a step back.

Neither Grai nor Si Mingrui moved first, "It's really ugly. As a person with psychic powers, he was injured like this." Grai broke the silence. Si Mingrui's abdomen, "Come here." Before Si Mingrui could say anything, Grai walked towards another cave.

Si Mingrui stroked the ring for a while before following him leisurely.When passing by Alga, the other party actually bowed his head respectfully to him.

If he knew that he was actually that person, he should have brought this guy back to the fountain of life at the beginning. Behind the stone gate, Arga sighed, and then bowed respectfully to the altar in front of him.

"Who still wants to see me?" Although the other party looked indifferent and even laughed at Si Mingrui, he understood that Grai didn't have any malicious intentions, this person was just expressing his thoughts.Glancing haughtily out of the corner of his eye, Gray chose not to speak.

When Si Mingrui completely left the range where he could feel the green light, a sense of loss lingered.My mood became heavy, and I also subconsciously held a few ounces of guard against the person I was going to see later.It seems that other spaces have been dug out inside the mountain, and Si Mingrui can see the traces of artificial carving on the stone wall.How many years ago was it built? Even if Si Mingrui didn't touch it, he could still feel the erosion of the years.

"Sir, we're here." Gray stopped and spoke towards the stone gate in front of him. Although he lowered his voice, his tone was still the same.Si Mingrui looked at the Shimen in front of him, which was painted with many characters with black paint, but found that he could not sense the situation behind him.

The seemingly heavy stone door opened a crack, and Grai turned sideways to signal Si Mingrui to go in by himself, "Sir, I have been waiting for you for a long time, you can find the answer you want to know yourself." What does this sentence imply? , Si Mingrui stared at the almost colorless light brown eyes, then turned his head and looked straight ahead and walked in step by step.

The stone door closed again silently after Simingrui entered the room, and Grai's face was complicated at this moment. He actually felt the teacher's breath on that person. What's going on?

Naturally, Si Mingrui didn't know what Grai was thinking. He just carefully observed the space of Shimen. It's not big here, but although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.On the left is a big bed made of a whole boulder sideways, on which animal furs are neatly stacked, and on the right is a built-in bookshelf directly made of stone wall carvings. Because of the terrible height of the room, the books stacked on the stone cabinet are no more than those in the Huangquan study. There is a little less, and there is a simple ladder frame made of wood and vines next to it, allowing people to climb to the second floor, where there is another naturally formed stone layer.

"Come up." The old voice echoed in the room, Si Mingrui raised his head but saw nothing.Pulling the ladder with his hands, it felt stronger than it looked, so Si Mingrui had no choice but to climb up.I didn't expect that the stone platform on the second floor could be used as a study room. There are desks and chairs that are also suitable for concealing and carving. The light source of the whole house is the stone wall that emits white light here.And there is a person who is sorting out the books in the stone cabinet with his back to Si Mingrui. The other person is hunched over, with sparse and gray hair piled on top of his head. Weak body.

"Are you..." After waiting for a long time but getting no response, Si Mingrui had no choice but to ask.

Putting the book in his hand back on the shelf, the other party turned his head.It was an old man with a snow-white beard, many age spots on his face, and crow's feet at the corners of his drooping eyes. Although those eyes were cloudy, they looked at Si Mingrui very sharply.

"My name is not important, you can call me whatever you want." The old man stroked his messy beard, then reached out and took out a tattered book from the side. Looking through it, Si Mingrui felt a little embarrassed, no Know what to say.

"Are you sad? Being attacked by Acheson?" The old man asked unhurriedly after a few seconds.

"Compared to being sad, I'm more curious about why he is like this." Without asking how the old man knew, Si Mingrui replied looking at the old books beside him.

The old man smiled silently, shook his beard twice, and finally turned his attention to Si Mingrui, "I have known Acheson for more than 50 years, and I really miss the days when I was in the watch world."

"More than 50 years?" Si Mingrui repeated in a daze.

"Hehe, yes, although that guy looks very young and has a very headstrong personality, he has lived much longer than me." The old man's voice sounded very distant, "Look."

Si Mingrui stepped forward to take what was in the old man's hands in bewilderment, but he didn't expect it to be a photo, and there were several people on it, but the man standing second from the left was so familiar.

Yellow Springs.

I don't know when it was taken, but the photo itself is old and yellow, and the edges are also curled up.In the photo, Huang Quan still has waist-length hair. Among the people in the row, he is the only one who tilts his head halfway, with a haughty expression on his face, not looking at the camera. This makes him stand out in the crowd. He stands out the most...

"It's an old photo from 50 years ago. The one in the middle is me, and the one on the left is Acheson. Haha, he fascinated many guys back then. Why did this kid have such a handsome face?" It seems Si Mingrui's expression pleased him, and the old man laughed loudly, "Don't be infatuated with him, Acheson is not a good person to be a man." His tone changed, and the old man's expression became serious, "He's just a A beast in human skin, no, to be precise, it should be a cold and murderous weapon, and he fantasizes that he will be like a normal person. No matter how much he pretends, it is useless, he has no feelings at all." The old man began to sullenly, Walked up to Si Mingrui.

"Maybe you will refute, yes, Acheson will be angry, he will get angry, it is also difficult to hide his smile when he is happy, and he often expresses his disgust directly and mercilessly for things he doesn't like, and if it is what he cares about Then do whatever it takes to get started." The old man spoke neither fast nor slow, and every word was full of power, "We taught him this, and he forced himself to be like us. I can't understand it, it's just copying the gourd, so how can we talk about more complicated things."

Si Mingrui didn't speak, nor did he look at the photos.

The old man shook his head, "I admit that he is a very smart student, he can quickly absorb knowledge, I watched him learn to laugh, learn to get angry, and learn to express his emotions with facial expressions. But, it's just learning, that's all. .”

"What's your relationship with him?" Si Mingrui squeezed the photo in his hand tightly.

"Does it matter? Even if you know it, it's useless... Well, Acheson has always wanted to learn something." The old man's eyes showed emotion, "That is... love, hehe, maybe he thinks that only when he understands this It’s just like us.”

"You want to say that he is only looking for the feeling of love in me?" Si Mingrui's expression was dark and unclear.

"..."
