"What does it sound like?!" The drunk old Xuanwu only felt the buzzing in his ears, and his headache was about to split.His eyes were suddenly clear, with rare sharpness, and he stared straight at the maker of the sound.

Ming Jue seemed to be choking on a piece of cake in his throat and couldn't swallow it or spit it out. Ever since he didn't know what Xie Qiaonan and old Xuanwu were secretly talking about, his master looked at him a little strangely.In stages, the pricking makes people uncomfortable.

After all, he is his master, so he can't say it clearly, otherwise, with his temperament that gets more willful as he gets older, he might not be able to bear it.Xie Qiaonan kept his mouth shut, no matter how he pried the news, he always talked about him.

The unknown secret frightens him, but he can only go with the flow.

"Yes, Master."

Old Xuanwu heard the response, drooping his eyes in satisfaction, and drove away the people who knew Qiao Nan's side, leaving only Xie Nian and him again.Old Xuanwu hummed while hugging the stone statue of the Phoenix God.Xie Nian leaned next to Old Xuanwu, poked him with his hand, and asked in a tone that only two people could hear: "What happened? It has something to do with those two brats you raised?"

Old Xuanwu felt sad, and said: "That kid Nan Nan can't live anymore, he tried his best to hang his life, his body is already at the end of his strength. What do you think will happen if Nan Nan goes to that idiot Mingjue?"

Xie Nian had the irritable figure of Ming Jue appearing in his mind, pinched his chin and pondered, "Looking for death and life is not enough, I went to Xie Qiaonan, the elders in the family are unreliable, and the burden on their shoulders is too heavy, just to sharpen the impetuousness temper."

Old Xuanwu dissatisfied: "That's not good, that kid Mingjue's brain is not good, so he can still be stimulated?"

Xie Nian: "..."

The son of a living family, who is still his direct disciple, who could inherit the position of city lord for a time, is a fool in the eyes of his master, and it is quite sad to live like Ming Jue.

But this time, seeing Qiao Nan again, he found that his health seemed to be worse. It seemed that he was trying to hold on to his life. If that obsession went away, his body would collapse quickly.He came to see Qiao Nan this time, and it might be the last time he met him, and his health was really not very good.

Old Xuanwu was not clear-headed, muttering alone there, Xie Nian didn't intend to ask anything, turned his head and walked slowly towards the room Xie Qiaonan had prepared for him, ready to take a rest, after all, his body couldn't bear the long journey.

In a short while, Xie Nian, who will not fall asleep soon, was extremely sleep-deprived this time, as if something could confine his consciousness and prevent him from waking up.

There were a few people muttering to my ears, but I couldn't hear what they were saying clearly.It's not safe to sleep, how about playing disco in his room?

Then there seemed to be Bai He's angry shout, but this anger was quickly covered up.The people outside seemed to have formed a compromise, and soon the room became quiet.

A few more sighs came from his ears, something clicked between his brows, and a clear feeling swept over his whole body.Since Xie Nian's spiritual root was abolished, his body has not been very good, and the feeling of heaviness is transmitted through the body to the brain and then reflected on his primordial spirit.But that trace of coolness almost swims through the whole body, as if the whole soul has been liberated, and it has never been lighter.

Someone is healing him, it can only be someone from the City Lord's Mansion, but is it for this reason that he was called here?Healing is healing, and it's still sneaky.What's more, one of the city lord's mansion is hanging half his life and is about to step into the loess, the other is a fool who is brave and foolish, and there is an old Xuanwu who has just been promoted to a drunkard.

Xie Nian couldn't allow Xie Nian to think too much about the remaining consciousness, so he fell into a deep sleep.

In the evening, the beast city ushered in a gust of wind and rain.

Purple-red thunder and lightning traversed the sky, birds and beasts wailed, it was unknown whether the people who condemned the sudden thunderstorm were caught off guard, or why people wailed, the bustling city of beasts fell into a brief silence.Time seemed to be forced to stop for a moment.

During that time, the storytellers in the Beast City stopped telling stories, and the vendors returned home one after another. There were only black dots protruding from the houses to check the situation of the rainstorm, but the thunder and lightning forced people to retract their heads in fear.

Until the residents who were close to the city lord's mansion, there were bursts of exclamations.

The purple-red light came down from the top of the sky, and the dark red light in the thunderclouds kept flickering. A streak of lightning lingered around the stone statue, and with a bang, the stone under the feet of the god was shattered and turned into powder.

"What's going on? The statue of Xuanwu God Venerable has been chopped off!"

"What?! There have been so many thunderstorms, why did you smash the statue of the city lord just this time?"

The statue of the god was several times higher than the city lord's mansion, and it was not seen attracting wind and electricity, but this time at the feet of the god, the statue of the Xuanwu god was gone.

The storyteller stroked his beard and exclaimed, "This may be a bad omen."

"How to say?"

"The statue of the god is so big and intact, why are you staring at the chopping of Xuanwu God? Isn't this sincere and making trouble with his old man?"

……

The thunderstorm that had lasted for half an hour finally subsided, and the setting sun hid behind the clouds, revealing most of his body.The rained streets have a unique freshness, and there are one or two rainbows hanging in the sky not far away.

The flower garden in the city lord's mansion was in a mess by the heavy rain, several flower pots were smashed to the ground, and the soil was scattered on the cobblestone road, which was dyed black with the rain.

A fiery figure stumbled towards Xie Nian's room, kicked the closed door, and the door announced his retirement.There is still a strong aura and some spells in the air.

Mingjue was panting out of breath, holding the door frame with one hand, fine sawdust fell to the ground with a clatter, the senior brother's eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead twitched and twitched, telling the master's heart full of anxiety.He quickly searched the house, Xie Nian was sleeping peacefully on the bed alone, and the people he brought over were standing by the bed.

His master was lying on the reclining chair beside him, with a drunken blush on his face, and fell into a deep sleep.Only the person he was thinking of was sitting cross-legged on the ground. On the ground was the magic circle that had not yet disappeared. His junior brother had an unignorable paleness on his face, and the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth stained his single clothes red.

A heart seemed to be frozen, unable to speak for a long time.Ming Jue's back was dripping with cold sweat, he staggered and crawled over, with trembling lips, he stroked Qiao Nan's eyebrows.

"Anan... Anan... Wake up, you lied to me, you said you would always be with me." From the very beginning, he knew that something was wrong with Xie Qiaonan, especially these few days.He always followed behind people, afraid that he would do something stupid.But he didn't expect that Xie Qiaonan put something in his tea, and he just fell asleep for a while, and there was nothing left.

In the early years, because of his arrogance and so-called face, he never gave him a good face, and finally turned against each other.His junior was so young, facing the malice of this world, he failed to fulfill his responsibility as a senior, and even made him trip up everywhere.He's really not a thing.When all the misunderstandings are resolved, it will be too late.

His junior grew up with malice, and gradually he began to understand him.I don't know what he was thinking, so that he became like this.

Ming Jue wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth with trembling hands, wrapped him in his arms, embraced him in despair, he should have known that this day would come, but he didn't believe it, he didn't believe that Xie Qiao Nan would really leave him.

"You said you should ask senior brother to make it up to you. As long as you wake up, I will agree to whatever you say."

"You said that you want to see Donghai and I will accompany you. I will satisfy you with whatever you want, but don't ignore me..."

"Anan...please wake up..."

An extremely weak voice came to mind from below, almost humming in his throat, in desperation with infinite pampering, he said: "Brother, can you make sure that my heart is beating and I am crying?"

Mingjue: "..."

With tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes, Ming Jue made eye contact with his "dead" junior.

Xie Qiaonan: "It's hard for a junior like you. After all, you cry so painfully. I'm sorry for your tears if I don't die."

Mingjue: "..."

Ji Congyue couldn't help sneering, it's too much, Mingjue's expression of seeing a ghost, coupled with a bewildered face, and the joy of finding it again, several emotions mixed on his face, it is simply indescribable.

Xie Qiaonan struggled to get up, Mingjue supported him in a daze, and helped him up.After a while, there was a slight movement on the bed.

Bai He is always the most sensitive to Xie Nian's words, he gently probed: "Brother, are you awake?"

Xie Nian rubbed his forehead, pinched the bridge of his nose, and sat on the bed with Bai He's support. It took him a while to recover, his eyes flickered past Xie Qiaonan, and finally fixed on Old Xuanwu on the reclining chair.

Xie Qiaonan took Mingjue to the front of Old Xuanwu's bed, and knelt down while holding Mingjue's hand.His knees hit the icy ground, and the hearts of the listeners jumped, and it would not be an exaggeration to put it on anyone, but for someone like Xie Qiao Nan who was dying, Ming Jue's heart beat hard.

Xie Qiaonan said: "Brother, let's kowtow to Master."

"..." Ming Jue looked at Xie Qiaonan's pale and fragile face, and then at the ruddy old Xuanwu, facing the eyes of everyone in the room, from stunned to horrified. After several times of great sorrow and joy, he finally couldn't hold on. He stopped, his chest was burning with pain, and he vomited out a mouthful of blood.

Xie Qiaonan's expression didn't fluctuate much, as if he was talking about the most common things in this world, "Senior brother has been looking for a way to continue my life. Did you know that our family is born with a short life? What is born is because of the rules of heaven." So, how difficult is it to act against the sky?"

Mingjue took a few steps back in disbelief, Xie Qiaonan's voice was very soft, but every word and sentence brought a piercing chill, clearly it was midsummer evening, yet he felt the chill of winter.He went on to say: "Those who act against the sky will be punished by heaven. There is no such thing as cheap in the world. Forcibly changing one's life means one life for another."

So he attracted Xie Nian, Xie Nian was not an ordinary person, he was betting that Heaven would be soft because of him.There is almost no precedent in this world for changing one's life against the sky, that's because the conditions are too harsh.Otherwise, how many people would be serious about cultivating immortals?As long as the way of heaven knows, whether it is the person who casts the spell or the person who needs to change his life, he will be fascinated.

Even if he succeeds in changing his fate, he will die in the end due to punishment from heaven.But they did.

Old Xuanwu exchanged his own life for him, a useless disciple.
