Tian Boguang opened his eyes, and what he saw was an even older lamp-bearer. The old man in front of him seemed to have really become an octogenarian at this moment. He could be blown down by the wind at any time. He was weak, senile, and would die at any time.

Tian Boguang's eyes turned red. He was not related to the old man in front of him, but he saved his name when he needed help the most, but he knew nothing about him!

"Young man, I originally wanted to protect you and help you grow to the level of a great master, but God forbids it. I already feel that my end is approaching!" After saying a few words, the man holding the candle began to cough, and his body was already extremely weak.

"Old man, you have a good rest..." Tian Boguang was about to persuade, but was stopped by the person carrying the lamp. His body knew that in this limited time, he still had many things that he had not explained clearly.

"I don't have much time, so I'll keep my story short!" The old man looked weak, paused for a moment, and continued: "You are the person I chose to hold the lamp, so naturally I don't expect you to fall by the wayside!"

"You will know the responsibility of the lamp holder in the future. I don't say it now because I don't want to affect your mood."

"As for what happened today, half of it was the wrath of heaven and half of it was a man-made disaster, but in the end the result was good. You must be confused now. In fact, only the world in the secret realm is the closest to the real world in the Shenyun Continent. What do you think?

The world of life is all fake, including all the secret realms."

"The reason why it's fake is because someone has tampered with the laws of heaven and earth in this space and changed everyone's way of cultivation to Xuanxuan."

"Actually, a long time ago, everyone practiced by absorbing star energy! I set up a night patrol to look for flaws in this space, but to no avail. But fortunately, the person I chose to hold the lamp actually gave birth to stars.

hole."

"The star acupoint, as the name suggests, can directly absorb star energy. This also means that in the realm of the Grand Master, you can practice unimpeded."

Tian Boguang understood the general idea, but he was not happy at all. This smooth path of practice was naturally earned by the person who carried out the task with his life.

"Of course, this is the biggest secret in your body. You must keep it a secret. It is not impossible to rely on mysterious power to penetrate the nine-star continuum. It can be used as your speech to the outside world. Remember, the matter of the star acupoints can be heard today with the left ear and the right ear.

Just keep it in your mind and don't reveal it to anyone." The old man warned solemnly.

Tian Boguang nodded vigorously to show that he remembered.

"You have to explore your own practice in the future. When the time is right, you will definitely understand the direction of your future practice. Don't worry." The old man took a breath and felt a little exhausted.

Tian Boguang helped the old man sit down and kept the old man's words in his heart.

The old man took out the jade pendant in his hand, handed it to Tian Boguang and said, "I have no use for this jade pendant, so I gave it to you as a meeting gift."

Gifts from elders are unavoidable. Tian Boguang looked at the frail old man and accepted the gifts from the old man without refusing.

"This hosta has been worn since I began to practice Taoism. It contains some of my profound insights. It is an earth-level treasure that can save your life at critical moments."

Tian Boguang nodded and thanked, and then heard the old man say: "This hosta has another purpose. In my spare time, I opened up a space in it to store daily needs and some crucial things that need to be preserved."

Tian Boguang was extremely surprised. Is there still such an operation? He will have a place to store these things in the future.

"Senior, how should I use this?"

"Actually, opening up a space within something is the most basic mystical skill for the mystical craftsmen of Shenyu Continent. In recent years, fewer and fewer people know this mystical skill, and there are fewer and fewer such mystical craftsmen. So for

These people have a unified name, Nashi! And mysterious weapons with this kind of storage space are all called Naqi."

"I won't teach you how to make a container. You can learn it when you have the opportunity in the future. As for how to use the container, it is actually simple. Use the power of your spiritual consciousness to communicate with the container, and you can store and take it out.

"

"Oh, by the way, the ancient lamp mark on your arm also has the function of holding a container." After the old man explained, he felt more tired. He tilted his body more so that he could lie on the stone more comfortably to relieve the fatigue of the body.

.

Tian Boguang nodded, and with a thought, the hosta disappeared in his hand, and deep in his consciousness, he could feel the location where the hosta was stored.

Is this a nugget? It's really quite novel.

The old man rested for a moment, regained some of his energy on his face, and continued to give Tian Boguang instructions.

"One more thing, your body contains great vitality and death energy. Although you were able to successfully break through the mysterious and create the star point this time, it was entirely due to the yin and yang qi derived from the vitality and death energy, but on weekdays, your body

The vitality cannot be used, but the death energy is extremely easy to be triggered by emotions. Before taking advantage of their abilities, you'd better control your emotions and don't continue to use the death energy, otherwise it will be harmful to you."

Tian Boguang knew the reason why he was guilty of holding a jade, and he was even more grateful to the old man for his planning and concern.

"I'm close to running out of oil, and I need you to decide on the last gift." The old man stopped his gaze on Zang Nian, who was fainting next to him, and said, "I observed that girl, and there was no life in her body.

, supported only by a blood evil aura, and there is a strong death aura in the body, which is the same as that in your body. It should be contaminated by your body. Whether she can only wake up at night, her personality and the skills she practices are also different from those in your body.

Were they very similar in the past?"

Tian Boguang's face was filled with joy. Since the old man said this, he must have a way to save Zang Nian. He immediately asked: "Senior, do you have any idea?"

The old man nodded, turned to Tian Boguang and said, "This is why I just said that you need to make a decision."

"I can temporarily suppress the blood evil energy in her body. As for the death energy, it will not be affected. You can absorb it all, but once the blood evil energy is lifted, her personality and consciousness will return to what they were before. You

, can you bear it?"

The old man stared closely at Tian Boguang, but Tian Boguang nodded without hesitation: "She was injured trying to save me. I used my blood to save people. It was a helpless act. If there is a way to save her, even if I have to sacrifice

I won’t hesitate to do anything.”

Not far away, Zang Nian, who was originally unconscious, now had tears streaming down his face.

"In that case, then help her over." The old man nodded happily, and his actions just now were also full of temptation.

Naturally, Tian Boguang didn't know that when he saw the old man speaking, his face was full of joy, and he helped Zang Nian, who was still unconscious, over so that the old man could reach Zang Nian.

The old man closed his eyes tightly and raised his middle finger, pointing directly at Zang Nian's forehead.

A stream of emerald green light particles flowed along the old man's middle finger, from the atrium of Zang Nian, and into Zang Nian's body.

Tian Boguang was shocked. He was no stranger to these emerald green light particles. They were the vitality in the old man's body. He didn't know what kind of technique the old man used to transfer the vitality in his body to Zang Nian's body.

The old man was already running out of fuel, but at this moment of transition, the old man had completely cut off the possibility of his own survival.

"Senior, I have so much vitality in my body, why do you need to risk your own life?" Tian Boguang wanted to stop the old man's movement, but was stopped by the old man's free arm.

"No need, I am about to die, cough cough..."

"Can I spend the rest of my life like a candle..."

"Save...ahem...a living...life..."

“It’s considered the right path!”

The sound of the old man's cough came. With the transition of vitality, the originally weak body became more and more haggard, and his face was already full of wrinkles.

"But, I originally had enough vitality in my body, so there was no need for you to go to this step!" Tian Boguang's voice was hoarse and he couldn't bear it.

"Don't feel guilty, cough cough... my skill, originally... cough cough... there is no... way to teach it." The old man's tone was intermittent. After saying this, the last ray of life disappeared.

After transitioning into Zang Nian's body, when a golden light, accompanied by dots of emerald green light particles, entered the Zang Nian atrium, the old man's hand completely dropped, and there was no more sound.

Tian Boguang wanted to hug the old man for the last time, but he saw the old man's body turned into little stars, floating in the sky.

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, Tian Boguang, one day, you will definitely fulfill your duty as a lantern holder."

A loud voice sounded in Tian Boguang's ears, and then he saw a figure with white hair and beard in the void, waving to him, and then disappeared.

The figure of the old man has completely disappeared. Tian Boguang is sitting on the ground, feeling lost. Did the old man holding the lamp really die like this? The feeling at this moment is like a big dream, revealing an unreal feeling, but this heart-wrenching feeling

The pain seemed extremely real.

Fortunately, everything was not lost. Zang Nian was finally saved, and one of his wishes was granted. It was just suppressed temporarily as the old man said. I wonder if there will be other effects later.

It's just a pity that the old man died because of himself even though he didn't even know his name. From the old man's point of view, he was fatalistic. All of this was his responsibility and he must protect Tian Boguang.

But according to Tian Boguang's own world view, kindness must be repaid, but this kind of kindness has no one to repay.

As soon as his consciousness changed, the hosta gifted by the old man appeared in Tian Boguang's hand. Looking at the hosta, Tian Boguang felt a little sad thinking about the old man's advice. No matter what happened later, he must find the trace of the old man and the old man's emphasis on holding the lamp before his death.

Even though I don’t know why a person has a duty, it is still the best way to repay the old man. After I leave the Qingxuan Secret Realm, I will definitely keep this in mind.

When Tian Boguang was overwhelmed with thoughts and sorrow, a dagger quietly touched Tian Boguang's heart, and then he heard a sweet scream.
