An Fei slowly opened his eyes. In the realm of Hinayana Zen, people's six senses are very sharp. When the black shadow approached the door of An Fei's room, An Fei had already felt it.

The door opened quietly, and An Fei lay quietly on the bed, deliberately breathing evenly. The black figure waited for a moment, then slowly walked to An Fei's bed and groped around the corner of the bed. He paused twice, then turned around and walked out.

When the dark shadow closed the door, An Fei sat up from his bed, jumped out of bed gently, walked to the door and listened quietly to what was going on outside.

The black figure was obviously not an expert, he was just careful enough. The floorboards creaked under his feet from time to time, and his breathing was too heavy. When he went upstairs, he almost hit a decorative vase on the ground.

Seeing the other party's hurried movements, An Fei sneered. In fact, he was fully capable of keeping the other party, but the whole thing was weird. An Fei didn't want to alert the enemy before he understood the cause and effect.

An Fei followed the other person to the fourth floor. After seeing the other person walk into a room, An Fei slid against the wall and listened quietly to the sounds in the room.

Someone was talking in a low voice inside, and An Fei couldn't hear anything clearly through a door. It seemed like he should make a simple stealing device...

Five minutes later, An Fei had returned to his room. He lifted up his quilt, and an orange-red broad bean-sized pearl-like thing was lying between the quilt, emitting a strange colorful light.

What's this? An Fei was stunned, stretched out his finger and flicked it gently. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he put the colorful bead in his palm, playing with it while thinking about various possibilities.

After a while, An Fei put the colorful beads in his arms, turned around and walked out, walked to Ernest's door, and knocked gently on the door.

"Is it An Fei?" Ernest's voice sounded from the door.

"It's me, Uncle Ernest. I'm sorry to bother you."

"Silly boy, what are you talking about?" Ernest smiled and opened the door.

"Uncle Ernest, how did you know it was me?"

"Isn't this easy to guess? No one here dares to knock on my door. Well, Sol, he never knocked on the door when he came to find me, so it's just you." Ernest laughed loudly, and immediately He said seriously: "An Fei, if you don't come to me, I want to come to you. Well... thank you!"

"Uncle Ernest, what are you thanking me for?" An Fei asked in surprise.

"Your swordsmanship has inspired me a lot." Ernest said slowly: "It has allowed me to see another way in my confusion! I believe that after a period of time, my swordsmanship will improve dramatically. ! Then...maybe I can take revenge!"

"I don't know anything about swordsmanship. It's all because that weird old man in our village coaxed me to do it." An Fei said with a shy smile.

"No, you can't say that! I have a feeling that the weird old man you mentioned is a rare strong man!" Ernest said solemnly: "He is at least a great swordsman, and has even... broken through the great sword At the level of a master, An Fei, if you have a chance, you must find him!"

"Uncle Ernest, do you want to compete with him in swordsmanship?"

"Me? How can I be his opponent!" Ernest smiled bitterly. If the opponent has the same level of fighting spirit as himself, winning or losing will be irreversible. Even a child like An Fei can shock him. , How terrible must the old man’s swordsmanship be!

"But...I can't remember where my home is." An Fei lowered his head.

"I'll remember it later." Ernest comforted: "By the way, An Fei, do you have anything to do with me?" "Uncle Ernest, what do you think this is?" An Fei took out the colored beads. come out.

"This is..." Ernest's eyes were a little straightened, and he snatched the colored beads over and looked at them carefully for a moment: "An Fei, where did you get them?"

"Someone gave it to me." An Fei smiled and said, "Uncle Ernest, what is this?"

"Someone gave it to you? Impossible!" Ernest shook his head: "This is the magic crystal of the Dark Dragon!"

"The Dark Dragon's magic crystal? Is it very rare?"

"It's not rare, but there's only one! It should be in Sol's..." Ernest's eyes fell on An Fei: "An Fei, what's going on? Tell me from beginning to end!"

An Fei told what happened in detail, including the fact that he followed the other party. He didn't hide anything. Ernest lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "An Fei, what do you think? ?" Ernest had vaguely guessed the other party's intention. He deliberately asked An Fei because he wanted An Fei to learn to think and learn to recognize the dangers of the human heart.

"Uncle Ernest, you just said...this is the teacher's thing?"

"Yes." Ernest nodded: "The Dark Dragon is a very terrifying dark creature. What it is best at is space magic. As far as I know, among all the dark creatures, only the Dark Dragon can do without..." Relying on any medium and using your own magic power to tear apart space and break into another dimension. The Dark Dragon's magic crystal is of great help to Thor, and it is also Thor's most cherished treasure!"

"Then I know what's going on." An Fei laughed.

"Talk about it," Ernest encouraged.

"Someone stole the teacher's treasures and deliberately placed them under my bed. After the teacher realized that the things were missing, they deliberately found them out from under my bed, and then...I became a thief." An Fei laughed. .

"Is this...your opinion?" Ernest was a little surprised: "Then have you ever thought about why they framed you?"

"Because Teacher Sol is so good to me." An Fei sighed softly: "Uncle Ernest, you also saw yesterday how Miss Niya treated me. In fact, there are some words you didn't seem to understand. I heard that she is also a victim and someone else instigated her to interrogate me."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Uncle Ernest, the teacher is too careless. Such treasures should be kept well. How could they be stolen?" An Fei changed the subject.

"Then you are wrong!" Ernest laughed: "How could Thor be so careless! You can't sense it, but Thor has actually arranged a secret magic circle on this magic crystal. Corresponding magic arrays are arranged in the collection room. As long as the distance between the two magic arrays exceeds one hundred meters, the magic array will be activated immediately, so no one can leave with this magic crystal! And this magic crystal It’s just a living coordinate. Do you think someone can avoid being chased by a great space magician while carrying the coordinates with them?”

"So that's it!" An Fei said suddenly.

"An Fei, tell me what you want to do?" Ernest changed the subject again.

"My thoughts...are a bit...I'm embarrassed to say." An Fei scratched his scalp.

"What are you embarrassed about? Say it quickly!" Ernest said urgently.

"Let's return the magic crystal to Teacher Sol now. The person who framed me will probably notice it. If he changes his mind, it will be difficult..." An Fei said slowly: "Uncle Ernest , this person can actually steal the teacher’s most cherished treasure, he must be someone whom the teacher trusts very much, right?”

Ernest nodded.

"So, we have to stay calm, as if nothing happened." An Fei said with a smile: "Let him try his best to frame me. When he thought he was pushing me into a desperate situation, in fact... he was trying to frame me. You’ve driven yourself into a desperate situation!”

"And you need me to testify for you?" Ernest smiled and said, "Not a bad idea."

"No, Uncle Ernest, things always speak louder than words, and physical evidence is always more important than witness." An Fei shook his head: "I think he will definitely try his best to provoke the teacher's anger and make the teacher's My emotions are out of control, which will leave me no chance to rebut and explain. Uncle Ernest, if you show up to testify for me at this time, it may make the teacher think that you are protecting me, and then we will not be able to explain clearly. ." An Fei kept saying 'we', trying to drag Ernest into the water.

"I'm a little confused..." Ernest sighed: "Anfei, do you think that when I hold the magic crystal to testify for you, Thor will believe them instead of me?"

"No one can make an accurate judgment about something that has not happened." An Fei said slowly: "But, it is possible. Since it is possible... then we can't take risks."

"What do you want to do?" Ernest became more and more confused.

"It's very simple. When they bring the teacher to see me, Uncle Ernest, just quietly send the magic crystal to a room on the fourth floor." An Fei smiled and said, "Uncle Ernest , you must hide the magic crystal well and don’t let the teacher sense the location of the magic crystal, can you do it?”

"It's okay for a short time, but not for a long time. Leave it to me." Ernest put away the magic crystal, looked at An Fei seriously for a long time, and then said slowly: "Silly boy, it seems... you don't know anything about it. You’re not stupid!”

"Actually...Uncle Ernest, I've hidden something from you." An Fei sighed.

"Can you tell me now?" Ernest asked with interest: "If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you."

"You can't blame me. You never asked. In fact, you should have noticed." An Fei said slowly: "Teacher Yagor keeps using us for experiments. We...are not based on age or height." When we go to arrange the numbers, Teacher Yagor often randomly chooses someone to follow him, and that person never comes back after leaving. As time goes by, we are all scared, so many, many stories happened."

"Go on."

"None of us are willing to follow Youngor, but we are unable to fight. We can only make plans for our companions, frame each other, make each other anger Teacher Youngor, hate each other, and... the stories that happened in those few years really make me I don’t want to think about it anymore. Uncle Ernest, do you know why I am grateful to Teacher Yagor, whom everyone hates?"

"Why?"

"Because I was framed many times when I was young, but for some reason, Yagor always let me go. In the end, he even arranged a separate room for me and asked me to take care of his daily life. Haha, you have to Otherwise I would have died!"
