"Thank you for the fate." Qin Shi stood up and responded.
After two glasses of wine, Li Tan sat down and gestured to the three of them: "Okay, everyone, you're welcome, especially brother Qin. Just treat this place as your own home, don't be formal."
Qin Shi nodded with a smile, and then on the table, most of them were reminiscing about the past between Li Tan and the immortal old Taoist. The two seemed like old friends who had not seen each other for many years. Of course, in fact, the two of them had not seen each other for many years, so after three drinks After the tour, the conversation started. Li Tan and Immortal Old Taoist briefly described the development and major events of the Evernight City in the past three years, and then invited Immortal Old Taoist very sincerely: "Teacher Immortal, you and my father built the Evernight City. The world, the city that never sleeps now, is lacking talents like you. You had an accident in the past three years, and I have always felt sorry for you. Now that you have finally recovered, I hope you can come out and continue to serve the city that never sleeps. Don’t let my father’s death All your hard work is ruined."
But in response to this, the immortal old Taoist smiled and shook his head, saying: "I am an old man, what role can I play when I come out? Indeed, it was me who accompanied your father to conquer this world, and then accompanied him to defend this world. , however, times have changed now, and it is the era of you young people. When he unfortunately passed away, I had already chosen to live in seclusion. Later, it was because of my fate with that boy Minghao, and because I had no offspring in this life, that I chose to give him up. Being accepted as a disciple can be considered as a way to find a suitable mantle for what I have learned in this life, but it is a pity...!"
As for the next words, the immortal old man did not speak, but everyone present wrapped around the maids, and the servants also understood in their hearts that Li Minghao would definitely not be able to continue practicing in his current state.
This is a pity for the whole city that never sleeps.
"Hey...! I knew this was the result. Well, I won't try to persuade you any more. I just hope that if one day the Evernight City really encounters trouble, the immortal teacher will not just sit idly by and ignore it." Li Tan sighed.
"That's natural. Even if you go into seclusion, you can only have the surname Li in the Evernight City!" This sentence was said by the immortal old man with great power. When he said this, his old eyes fell on the main hall, which was specially engraved with the name "Zhao Family". on the wooden sign.
Of course, Li Tan did not notice this detail, but was moved to tears. Afterwards, the two had a chat. When they saw Li Minghao again, they both felt pity, and the immortal Taoist suddenly said: "Yes. Come on, Li Tan, little brother Qin told me before that he wanted to meet Li Minghao, is he in the mansion now?"
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Li Tan turned his head curiously: "Little brother, do you want to see my son?"
Qin Shi said sincerely: "I am dissatisfied with the city lord. I really want to meet Young Master Minghao. We were destined to meet each other once in the market, and I even made him fall to the ground. I want to say goodbye to him in person." apologize."
Li Tan hesitated for a moment, but because the immortal old man spoke, he did not doubt Qin Shi too much, so he nodded: "Well, that's fine, Minghao is in the house, but you also know his situation, I want to It’s a little difficult to call him out, so why don’t I call someone and take you to find him.”
"That couldn't be better."
Qin Shi looked happy, which would facilitate his next plan.
"Come here!" Li Tan clapped his hands, and a maid appeared next to him: "Take Brother Qin to the young master's room."
"Yes." The maid said to Qin Shi, "Mr. Qin, please come with me."
"Then City Lord, senior Immortal, I will excuse you now." Qin Shi clasped his fists at the two of them, stood up and followed the maid into the corridor of the main hall.
Entering the corridor, Qin Shi couldn't help but clicked his tongue. On the left and right of the corridor, every five meters away, there was a crystal display stand, which was full of rare treasures in the world. He thought to himself: "This Li Tan, it really is I love collecting."
At this time, his steps suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell dullly on a crystal booth. Inside was a bottle made of ceramics, revealing a slightly dark color, which made Qin Shi's heart beat faster: " Is this the wasteland heart milk?"
"Indeed, I just didn't expect that Li Tan would put all these treasures in the city lord's mansion." The blood wizard nodded.
Hearing this, Qin Shi was also startled and frowned after him: "This is strange. If all Li Tan's collections are here, then during the day before, when we were about to enter the Nightless City, the space formation that was sealed outside the Nightless City was what happened?"
"I don't know, but now it seems that it is definitely not simple. There must be something special in it." The blood wizard said.
"Little guy, look over there!"
But suddenly, the blood wizard's voice became fierce, and he stretched out his hand to point to the booth in front of the heart of the deserted land. In the booth, there was actually a black crystal lying quietly.
Qin Shi also saw the crystal and became serious: "Is this power the evil spirit of evil spirits?"
"That's right, and it's so strong." The blood wizard's heart trembled.
Nodding secretly, Qin Shi also felt the extraordinary power in the crystal, but he did not lose his composure like the blood wizard. After all, he knew where he was.
At this time, the maid who was leading Qin Shi turned around and asked, "Master Qin, what's wrong with you?"
"No, let's go."
Qin Shi quickly adjusted his state and suppressed the restlessness in his heart.
He knew that now was not the time to show it. He had to see Li Minghao first, find out Li Minghao's condition, and then look for an opportunity to obtain the Desolate Earth Heart Milk from Li Tan. By the way, he wanted to ask about the origin of this crystal.
After reaching the end of the corridor, the maid and Qin Shi stopped in front of a stone room and said to Qin Shi, "Master Qin, this is the young master's room."
"Okay, I understand, thank you."
Qin Shi said politely, and then he opened the door alone.
Then, he frowned slightly and looked through the crack in the door. There was no light at all, making him feel as if he had fallen into an abyss of darkness.
"Little guy, be careful, there is a vicious evil spirit in this room!" Before entering the room, the blood wizard's warning came, which made Qin Shi calm down and said to himself: "There is indeed a ghost!"
Immediately, he walked into the room cautiously, using his spiritual consciousness to judge the appearance and layout of the room. Then he saw a thin young man from above the bed. This young man was not Li Minghao.
Li Minghao was huddled alone in the corner. When he saw Qin Shi, he suddenly stood up excitedly and rushed towards Qin Shi: "Is it you?"
"Do you remember me?"
"Remember!" Li Minghao grinned innocently, followed him and took a few steps back, then used all his strength and bumped towards Qin Shi.
With a bang, he fell to the ground again, and he giggled and said: "It's fun, it's fun, it's so fun, I want you to play with me!"
Li Minghao seemed to have an inexplicable affection for Qin Shi, which surprised the maid standing outside the door. She said to Qin Shi: "It's really strange. No matter who Mr. Li meets these years, most of them hide away." From a distance, this is the first time I’ve seen him be so kind to someone.”
Qin Shi heard this and thought about it alone. This should be because he was also possessed by evil spirits, but naturally he would not say this verbally. He just smiled softly at the maid: "I think this may be the reason why Master Li and I It’s more of a fate.”
"Well, that's good. Master Li can have a companion to take over the knot in his heart. We are all happy for him. Then Mr. Qin, please stay here for now. I will go back to serve the Lord of the City."
"OK, go ahead."
Qin Shi nodded politely, and then when the maid disappeared from sight, his eyes became slightly serious, his eyes fell on Li Minghao, and he smiled: "Little guy, you want me to play with you, right? Then you want Promise me one thing first."
"What's going on?" Li Minghao asked, raising his head cutely.
Qin Shi waved to him: "Come here and let me see what's going on inside your body."
"Okay, but you have to promise me that you will play with me well from now on." Li Minghao didn't know what Qin Shi was going to do, so he agreed directly.
"It's a deal."
"Then let's hook up!" Li Minghao said slyly.
With a wry smile, Qin Shi stretched out his little finger and hooked his fingers with Li Minghao: "Hang yourself with a hook, and it won't change for a hundred years. Is that okay?"
"Yeah!" Li Minghao responded with satisfaction, and then he became obedient. He turned around from Qin Shi and left the back of his head to Qin Shi without forgetting to whisper: "Then you have to hurry up, and then we It’s nice to play together.”
"Okay, it will be quick."
Qin Shi smiled gently, and then opened his palm, forming a mixed-color light ball, mixed with spiritual power and soul power, like a whirlpool on the sea, slowly approaching the back of Li Minghao's head.
"break!"
In an instant, Qin Shi probed into Li Minghao's body, and the first thing he entered was Li Minghao's sea of consciousness. After his mind power settled down, he frowned inadvertently, because this place was simply purgatory, and there was no intact place around it. , it was dark and desolate, and the surrounding area was filled with monstrous flames.
"Drink, what a horrific injury."
Qin Shi clicked his tongue. This was the first time he saw such a messy sea of consciousness. Even the immortal Taoist at the time was not so serious.
"Indeed, his sea of consciousness was almost completely destroyed. These flames suppressed his soul and nerves. It was also because of this that his body was like an empty shell, with no soul support or sanity at all." The blood wizard agreed. road.
This situation was much more serious than Qin Shi expected, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, it seems that it will take a lot of experience to cure him."
"Besides, there are still two opinions on whether it can be done. Judging from the current situation, if his soul is only suffering from the fire, then it is easy to say that as long as the fire here is dispersed, the soul can be saved like the blood wizard did. Come out and take care of yourself."
"It's just that I'm worried that after three years, his soul is very likely... to have been burned in the fire. What is supporting him now is just the remaining evil spirit here."
