Chapter 8 A new beginning
! Bang!
What woke Li Luo up from the darkness was the sound of knocks on the door. His heavy eyelids slowly opened with all his strength, and what came into view was the familiar room setting.
"What's going on?"
He murmured to himself, and then he realized that his voice was frighteningly weak, and his breath was like a gossamer, like an old man with a candle in the wind.
Li Luo struggled to get up from the ground, but after trying for a long time, he found that his hands and feet had no strength at all.
In the end, he could only lie on the ground and rest for a long time, then he had the strength to stand up staggeringly, and then sat down on the chair next to him.
"Young Master, are you okay?" At this time, a female voice came from outside the room. From the sound of the voice, it seemed to be Jiang Qing'e's assistant, Cai Wei.
Li Luo coughed and replied: "You got up late, what's wrong?" "
Qing'e asked me to inform you that the masters of the nine pavilions of Luolan Mansion have arrived. Please prepare." Cai Wei Mature Woman The soft voice came.
"Okay." Li Luo glanced outside the window. It was already bright. It was obvious that he had been lying on the ground all night.
Hearing Li Luo's response, Cai Wei outside the door was a little surprised by the weakness of his voice, but she still retreated.
Li Luo turned his eyes to the place where the crystal ball was placed last night, and was shocked to find that the black crystal ball was no longer there, only a pile of black ashes remained.
Apparently, the self-destruction device in the black crystal ball was activated, erasing everything.
Li Luo looked at the mirror on one side, which reflected his face. He just glanced at it, and his expression couldn't help but change.
Because the person in the mirror looked horribly pale, and it felt as if all the blood in his body had been drained out.
And the biggest change was that his hair, which was originally black, turned gray, obviously due to the loss of too much blood and essence.
Li Luo stared blankly at the white-haired young man in the mirror. After a long while, he breathed out: "He has become more handsome." After enjoying himself,
Li Luo smiled bitterly again and said: "Sure enough, he has become more handsome." , fused with the acquired aspect, most of the blood essence and blood he had stored for seventeen years were consumed."
This excessive loss of essence and blood made him feel extremely weak, and he felt dizzy even after taking a few steps. a feeling of.
And in addition to this, he also felt an indescribable sense of emptiness in his body. That emptiness was not an emptiness in his state of mind, but a lack of lifespan.
Li Luo pursed his bloodless lips. From now on, will he only have five years left to live?
It feels really urgent.
Li Luo let out a breath, closed his eyes, and then began to sense the body.
His perception directly sank into the location of the Xiang Palace in his body. Before that, the three Xiang Palaces were all empty, but now, in the first Xiang Palace, there was a blue brilliance blooming. A moist and gentle power is constantly emanating from the palace, and at the same time infiltrating the exhausted body.
Li Luo's mind was staring at the azure palace. At this moment, even though he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but feel his heart surge.
Sure enough, the fusion of acquired nature was successful.
Starting from today, his empty phase problem will be completely solved!
Moreover, this empty phase that once brought him a lot of trouble will also reveal its own specialness and wonder!
Li Luo opened his eyes, and he could feel the free energy of heaven and earth around him, two of which were automatically approaching him.
That is the energy of water and light.
From now on, he will be able to absorb these two energies and then transform them into his true phase power.
However, the premise is that you have to practice energy guidance skills, but this is nothing. After all, Luo Lan Mansion has a large foundation, and it has a lot of guidance skills in its collection.
Li Luo thought and slowly stood up, then washed himself and changed into neat clothes.
After changing, he looked in the mirror, and then the young man inside, although his face was haggard and his hair was gray, but his handsome features could not be concealed, showed a bright smile.
"Li Luo, welcome to your new life."
This old house in Nanfeng City has always been quite deserted in the past, but today the atmosphere is rare and solemn. The old house is surrounded by numerous sentries and guards. .
In the hall of the old house, the atmosphere was even more solemn and breathless.
The spacious hall has seats on both sides, and there are two seats in the middle. One is empty, and in the other sits Jiang Qing'e, with a hint of coldness in her calm expression.
Her golden eyes stared calmly into the hall, occasionally passing by the row on the left, where there were four figures, all exuding tyrannical energy fluctuations.
Especially those on the left.
It was a young man who looked about twenty-seven or eighty-year-old. His appearance was actually not that outstanding. His eyes were slightly sunken, his nose was somewhat narrow, and there was a sword-shaped earring hanging from his right earlobe, with a faint cold light. reveal. He always has a gentle smile on his face, which makes it easy for people to like him.
However, Jiang Qing'e, who was familiar with the other party, understood that the person in front of her was not a good person. It was this person who had caused many constraints to her since she took charge of Luo Lan Mansion.
This person is none other than Pei Hao, the named disciple accepted by Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan and now a powerful figure in Luo Lan Mansion.
The three figures on the lower side are the three pavilion masters whom he has attracted.
Opposite their row, there are six other pavilion masters from Luo Lan Mansion. Among these six pavilion masters, four support Jiang Qing'e, and the other two remain neutral and do not favor anyone. one party.
And from this point alone, we can see how chaotic the Luo Lan Mansion is now. Without the
two pillars of Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan, the Luo Lan Mansion, which has a relatively shallow foundation, is indeed in a state of turmoil.
In the quiet hall, the silence lasted for a long time, with only the faint sounds of people sipping tea.
At a certain moment, Pei Hao, the leader on the left, suddenly placed the teacup on the table without hesitation. The crisp sound rang out in the living room, which immediately caused the atmosphere to freeze.
Pei Hao raised his head, looked at Jiang Qing'e, and said with a smile: "Junior sister, we have been waiting here for a long time, why hasn't the Young Palace Master come out yet?" "Although
he is the Young Palace Master, everyone has always been here for Luo Lan. You have to know that when Master and Master were here, such occasions would appear on time, which also shows how much they value us." When his voice came out, there were nine pavilion masters in the field
. Their expressions remained motionless, while some frowned slightly, while others murmured to themselves.
Jiang Qing'e said with a cold expression: "Why didn't I see you so impatient when Master and Sister were here before?"
Pei Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Jiang Qing'e with a smile, and said: "Little junior sister, people have to look forward after all. He
paused, looked at everyone, and said: "Since the young palace master has not shown up yet, I suggest that you don't have to wait any longer and start discussing things directly. After all."
Pei Hao smiled helplessly. , said: "Everyone knows the situation of the young master of the palace. It is actually better if he is not present for what is discussed today, so let him be quiet." In the living room, everyone had different expressions, except Jiang Qing'e
, For a moment no one spoke.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's get started." Pei Hao smiled upon seeing this, waved his hand, and was about to make a decision.
Jiang Qing'e's expression turned cold, and just as she was about to speak, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded from behind the bead curtain in the living room.
"We haven't seen each other for a few years. Senior brother Pei Hao has become much more domineering than before. If my parents knew that senior brother is so promising now, they would be pleased, right?" As laughter rang out, the beads in the living
room The curtain was also lifted, and then a slender and handsome young man walked out with a smile on his face.
And when everyone in the living room suddenly saw that face, their bodies trembled involuntarily, and then they stood up reflexively.
Because that face was extremely similar to the two people they were in awe of.
Even the smile on Pei Hao's face froze slightly at this moment. His body seemed to bend slightly uncontrollably, but even then he stood up inertly. Suddenly, his heart suddenly became much clearer.
Because the people in front of me are not those two,
they are just an empty-headed useless person.
So, he stretched out his palm and suddenly slapped it on the tea cup on the table next to him. There was a crisp sound and the whole tea cup was turned into powder by him.
This sound made the nine pavilion masters present startled, and then they suddenly came back to their senses.
Then, some embarrassment appeared on their faces, and the three pavilion masters next to Pei Hao immediately sat back.
The six pavilion masters in the other row hesitated for a moment and then saluted with clasped fists at Li Luo who came out.
"I've met the Young Mansion Master."
They looked at Li Luo intently at this moment, and realized that although he was somewhat similar to Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan, he did not have the awe-inspiring aura after all, and he seemed too immature and green.
The previous illusion was just for a blink of an eye, and I couldn't recover from it.
And what surprised them the most was Li Luo's gray hair.
Even Jiang Qing'e paused at Li Luo's head with some surprise in her eyes. This guy was obviously fine yesterday.
Li Luo nodded to the six pavilion masters, and then turned his eyes to the person sitting there. Pei Hao, who was motionless in his chair, said with a smile: "Senior Brother Pei Hao, who I haven't seen for several years, is really a completely different person from before."
The eyes of the nine pavilion masters present flashed, but they heard that Li Luo The implicit meaning between words.
In the past years, when Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan were still together, every time Pei Hao saw Li Luo, he would smile as warmly as an older brother, and would even go to great lengths to bring him many gifts. .
However, I am afraid that at that time, even Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan had never thought that this disciple who treated them with respect would show such a true nature after they disappeared for many years.
With a slight smile on his face, Pei Hao looked up at Li Luo and said, "Long time no see, Xiao Luo has really grown up a lot." He suddenly paused in his words, frowned and said seriously: "Just why does his face look so different
? He is so pale, his hair is also white, and he looks like he will live in a few years?"
