Chapter 550 : Wu Mozhi**! I Am Dongfang Nirvana!

Note: 7,500 words for the second update, today's update is 12,500!

However, it was written after six o'clock in the morning. The first one was half an hour late because of a quarrel with my wife. The second watch is two hours late because I have to coax my wife, why am I doing this!

Brothers, please comfort me with the monthly ticket!

...

Before Yang Dingtian rushed to Zhongzhou, he had to clean the entire western world thoroughly so that there would be a clean rear.

Earlier, Yang Dingtian had made four steps to unify the western region.

The first step is to get the Tianxiahui done.

Second, completely uproot those lurking in the evil way.

The third step is to issue a second extermination order to completely uproot Baiyun City, the largest power base of the Demon Dao in the western world.

The fourth step, get rid of Qin Wanchou! The best situation is to let him break with the evil way and completely end the fence.

Only in this way, there will be no opportunity for the evil spirits to take advantage of in the western world.

And the last step is, without a doubt, the hardest step.

Qin Wanchou, whether it is ambition or wisdom, is the best choice.

He is not as changeable as Song Xiao at all, so vulnerable to huge blows. Qin Wanchou's heart is very hard. His phalanx is sitting on the fence, and once he decides, it's hard to change.

That's why Yang Dingtian also said before that if Qin Wanchou could fight for it, he would fight for it. If you can't fight for it, then you can only use force.

And the puppet War Demon in front of him is undoubtedly a great help for Yang Dingtian.

Because Yang Dingtian added the wraith of Yiling Yaohuo into the brain of the puppet War Demon, the puppet War Demon made a qualitative leap. At present, although he can only obey some simple orders, it is believed that with the further penetration of the Wraith War Demon's brain, this puppet War Demon will have even greater surprises.

...

Yang Dingtian came to the depths of the cave again, and Aoshuang was lying in the jade room. As if still intoxicated by the story just now.

Seeing Yang Dingtian coming in, she immediately flashed in front of Yang Dingtian in great surprise, wrapped her snake body around Yang Dingtian's body, and said softly: "Husband, I have thought about it. Even if the prince becomes a mermaid, after The mermaid princess can’t be found at the bottom of the sea. But although the mermaid princess said that she doesn’t love her anymore, she must still miss the prince in her heart. So she will quietly return to land to see if the prince is doing well. Then, she finds that the prince is not When I returned to the palace, I was not on land either. I knew that the prince must still be in the sea, and then she would go to find that prince. In the end, they must be together."

Aoshuang widened her beautiful eyes, earnestly facing the sun.

In the past few hours, she has been thinking about this problem, and she has tried her best. Let the mermaid princess and the prince be together too.

"Well, Shuang'er is so smart, why didn't I think of it, it made me worry for nothing." Yang Dingtian laughed.

Then, Yang Dingtian looked at Ao Shuang and said: "Shuang'er, I'm going out again, but this time, I want to go out with Shuang'er. Okay?"

"Okay, okay..." Ao Shuang's eyes lit up. Then he hugged Yang Dingtian's face and kissed him vigorously.

But then, her beautiful eyes dimmed, and she said: "Husband, I don't want it anymore. If someone sees my appearance, it might bring disaster to our family."

"So obedient. Really sensible." Yang Dingtian kissed her lightly, and said: "So, I have to wrong Shuang'er, lying in a big jade box, I'm sorry."

"Yes. I can lie in the jade box, just like before." Ao Shuang said excitedly.

Yang Dingtian was still sad at first, thinking that bumping her into the big jade box would hurt her dignity. But unexpectedly, instead of feeling sad, Ao Shuang found it very funny.

"However, Husband, go and find me a piece of clothing. I want to completely cover my face, body, and arms, so that no one can see my body, my face, and I will only show it to Husband. "Ao Shuang said.

Yang Dingtian nodded with a smile, then carefully said: "This is your old clothes, is it okay?"

Yang Dingtian was very worried, Aoshuang would be very concerned about the dark days before. At that time, she felt extremely inferior and terrified.

"Okay, I will forget what I was like before." Ao Shuang said happily.

Yang Dingtian was worrying in vain again, Ao Shuang didn't care about the previous days at all.

In other words, at this time, Naga Aoshuang, although he inherited part of his previous body and memory, his temperament and thoughts have completely changed.

Then, Yang Dingtian took the previous clothes and put them on for Aoshuang.

The shirt fits perfectly, but is a little tight.

Originally, Aoshuang's body curve was already unparalleled in the world. After becoming Naga, the curve above the buttocks became even more fiendishly hot.

This shirtless, already alluring infinitely.

The curve after putting on the clothes is even more breathless.

Then, a purple mask was put on her, revealing only two eyes.

Before, among all women's eyes, Suwu Mozhi was the prettiest, most mysterious and alluring.

Now, it is Naga Aoshuang's eyes! That kind of mystery and temptation pierces people's hearts in an instant! Her beauty, even if she covers her whole body, is still captivating.

Aoshuang also felt that she was beautiful, so she floated in the air, desperately looking left and right at her own reflection in the ice-free pool!

...

Half an hour later, Yang Dingtian led the crowd and set off again.

It's just that this time, there is a huge jade box behind Yang Dingtian's back. Zhu Hongxue also carried a jade box on her back.

Dongfang Nirvana, still wearing a black cloak.

The four of them rode magic vultures and roared towards the west direction of Yunxiao City.

Only half an hour later, suddenly from the north, a magic vulture went south like lightning and joined Yang Dingtian.

At first glance, it turned out to be Song Chunhua.

"Chunhua, your affairs at the Tianxiahui are not over yet, why did you come here in such a hurry?" Yang Dingtian asked.

"Qin Wanchou is too powerful. If you want to do something, I can help you." Song Chunhua said: "Furthermore, father's transformation is very thorough this time, so don't worry too much about the situation of the Tianxiahui."

"En. I hope that when the time comes, I don't need to do anything." Yang Dingtian said.

Then, continue to fly west.

At the border of the abyss, Yang Dingtian saw Qin Huaiyu who was waiting here, and a hundred magic vulture warriors.

Immediately, there were more than a hundred magic vultures. Like a group of fighter jets, they roared towards Qincheng at an altitude of several thousand meters.

At this time, the sky was dark again.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Yang Dingtian flew again, soundlessly, to the sky above Qin City in the northwest!

...

Several hours later, Yang Dingtian appeared in Qin Wanchou's study. Of course, he entered by using the mysterious stealth technique.

Invisibility mysterious skills, at least for now, are unsolvable bugs against the sky.

at this time. It was already midnight, and the huge palace complex in Qin City was completely silent.

In the study behind the main hall, two people, a candle!

One is the shockingly beautiful Wu Mozhi.

The other one is Qin Wanchou.

"Sect Master Qin, the young master gave you the offer. There are two conditions!" Wu Mozhi said indifferently: "First, I will give you second-class evil spirit energy. It is the same as Zhu Qingzhu, and I will give you the soul-devouring profound energy. "

Suddenly, Yang Dingtian's heart trembled violently.

Qin Wanchou's expression also changed dramatically.

The handwriting of Li Ming, the young master of Wanmi Temple, can be described as extremely large.

"Having the energy of evil spirits and the profound energy of devouring souls, the entire world. You almost have no opponents." Wu Mozhi said lightly: "In the future, it may not be impossible for you to aspire to the semi-holy Supreme of Wulingzi and Wuyu. "

Qin Wanchou suddenly became short of breath.

"Secondly, the whole west is for you." Wu Mozhi said.

immediately. Qin Wanchou's face completely changed.

the whole west? That is Yunxiao City, plus Tianxiahui, plus Shenbing Mountain Villa, plus Sunset Mountains, plus Baiyun City, plus Southwest Continent.

Wu Mozhi continued: "At that time, your land will be three times larger than it is now. Your power in the world will be almost under one person and above tens of thousands."

"What about Zhu Qingzhu?" Qin Wanchou asked.

"Zhu Qingzhu?" Wu Mozhi said: "He got Zhongzhou! Otherwise, why do you think he didn't let go of the Northwest, and only specialized in Zhongzhou. He and the young master have already discussed thoroughly, the entire Zhongzhou belongs to Zhu Qingzhu."

"What about Dongzhou?" Qin Wanchou asked.

"Dongzhou?" Wu Mozhi said: "Of course Dongzhou belongs to Young Master Li Ming and Princess Peony. After two and a half years, Princess Peony destroys Yang Dingtian. The two of them will get married. At that time, the entire Dongzhou will belong to you." The two of them!"

"What do I need to do?" Qin Wanchou asked.

"Kill that mysterious grand master next to Yang Dingtian, abolish Yang Dingtian, and destroy Yunxiao City." Wu Mozhi said, "It doesn't even matter whether Yunxiao City is destroyed or not! As long as we complete the first two tasks, we will Just fulfill the promise."

"Otherwise?" Qin Wanchou asked.

"Northwest Qincheng, hundreds of thousands, millions of people died." Wu Mozhi said lightly.

Qin Wanchou said: "I have a question, I want to ask. I don't know how many master-level powerhouses you have in your hands. Why do you want me to take action? You can easily kill the grand master beside Yang Dingtian If you are a super expert, you can destroy Yang Dingtian."

Wu Mozhi was silent for a while, and then said: "First, Zhu Qingzhu cannot get involved in the western world. All the time must be spent on resurrecting the demon king, and every second counts. Third, the masters of the Palace of Joy and the Palace of Ten Thousand Bloods are all grand masters. If the young master is not around, we have no right to order them. Even Dugu Xiao and Yang Dingtian The relationship is not clean, we can only sit and watch."

Then, Wu Mozhi said: "In our hands, there are nearly ten master-level powerhouses. However, the one who can make us manipulate has already been slaughtered by Yang Dingtian."

"Understood." Qin Wanchou said.

"Besides, I advise you to act quickly, otherwise it will be too late when Zhu Qingzhu gets involved in the west." Wu Mozhi said: "You also know that last time Ye Wucheng took advantage of Yang Dingtian's possession of evil substances to form a The Tiandao League investigation team is Zhu Qingzhu's involvement in the western world. It's just that Yang Dingtian is cunning, and Zhu Qingzhu failed. However, Ye Wucheng will continue to create opportunities. Once Zhu Qingzhu is completely given the opportunity, then, next It's not a life-and-death struggle between Yang Dingtian and Zhu Qingzhu, but a struggle between you and Zhu Qingzhu."

Yang Dingtian exclaimed inwardly, the struggle between the demons and Taoists is actually so complicated.

Before, he wondered why Zhu Qingzhu seemed to want to intervene in the western world. But it seems that there are some scruples.

It turns out that, according to the agreement between Li Ming and Zhu Qingzhu, Zhu Qingzhu can only control Zhongzhou, and is not allowed to seize the western world. But Zhu Qingzhu, has been doing everything possible to find opportunities. ,

The blood pool incident last time. The Tiandao League's observation team is Zhu Qingzhu's first time participating in the western world.

Now, Yang Dingtian slaughtered all the families in Baiyun City, which undoubtedly gave Zhu Qingzhu a huge reason. At that time, even if he doesn't intervene in Western World, it will be impossible.

Wu Mozhi said: "Prince Li Ming has not appeared for a long time. Ning Wuming alone is no longer able to check and balance Zhu Qingzhu. Once Zhu Qingzhu finds enough reasons to intervene in the western world, the first thing he has to deal with is .It's definitely not Yang Dingtian, but you. Can you understand?"

Qin Wanchou nodded.

"Of course I can understand." Qin Wanchou said: "In Zhu Qingzhu's eyes, Yang Dingtian and Yunxiao City are just a piece of meat, which can be eaten at any time. And once eaten, it means annexing the entire western world. However, before eating this piece of Yang Dingtian's meat, he must kill the opponent who snatches the food first. The opponent who snatches the food is me!"

Qin Wanchou explained this. Yang Dingtian also understood completely.

Why, Master Zhu Qing never did anything to Yunxiao City, nor did he do anything to Yang Dingtian.

It turned out that the opponent he was really concerned about was Qin Wanchou. In Zhu Qingzhu's eyes, Yang Dingtian was nothing more than meat on the chopping board.

"Then what about your Nanhai Ning clan?" Qin Wanchou asked.

Wu Mozhi smiled helplessly and said: "Qin Qiqi's big defeat. My family's young master Ning's big defeat, our Ning clan basically has no chance."

"No, I believe that you will have bargaining chips in your hands." Qin Wanchou said, "If you negotiate with me, you must pay attention to sincerity."

Wu Mozhi thought for a moment. Said: "Kuisi, the city of cracked earth, is in our hands."

Qin Wanchou suddenly laughed loudly and said, "I understand, you want me to fight Yang Dingtianxia. Then Qin Wanchou will immediately turn his attention to the western world, and then you Ning clan can do everything possible to win Yingzhou Continent."

Wu Mozhi was taken aback, then smiled and said: "Sect Master Qin, you are indeed smart. But this does not hinder our cooperation, does it?"

"But, I don't need to agree to you now." Qin Wanchou said: "I know that Qin Wanchou has assembled the entire Zhongzhou now, intending to carry out a devastating blow to Dixie City and Yuntian Pavilion. The biggest war of the year. And, in this war, he will take the opportunity to cleanse all the dissidents in the entire Central State, and he will completely unify the Central State. Therefore, when he starts the war, I will seize the entire Western World, not more okay."

Wu Mozhi smiled slightly and said: Yes, it's even better. It's just that the only consequence is that I, the Ning clan, have nothing. And I, the Ning clan, are the only direct descendants of the young master of the Wanmi Temple. Once we have nothing, then we will not make it easier for others. The devil king asks the sky that one day he will be resurrected, and the devil queen, prince, and princess will come back to the world one day. At that time, will you be able to withstand our hostility in Northwest Qincheng? "

Suddenly, Qin Wanchou fell silent.

"We, the Ning Clan, have tried the idea of ​​the entire western world, but we have completely failed, then we will be very clear about our current best interests, and the opportunity to form an ally with us is very rare." Wu Mozhi said faintly Said: "Because we are the only direct lineage of Prince Li Ming."

Qin Wanchou fell silent, and then said: "Well, I'll think about it for a while and give you an answer within ten days."

"No, you don't need to give us an answer." Wu Mozhi said: "We don't need any verbal answer either. You agree to our terms and just attack Yang Dingtian and Cloud City directly. At that time, what we see .Even second-class evil spirit energy, as long as you send Yang Dingtian, we will give it immediately. As for the soul-devouring profound energy, we are not qualified to keep it, so we can only ask Prince Li Ming to give it to you in the future. But I believe that as long as you With the energy of the second-class evil spirit, there is no fear of Zhu Qingzhu."

After finishing speaking, Wu Mozhi stood up and said, "Farewell."

Then, her voice disappeared directly, and in the blink of an eye, her captivating figure disappeared without a trace.

Qin Wanchou slowly sat back on his chair, rubbed his brows lightly, and fell into struggle and hesitation.

And Yang Dingtian felt chills in his heart, it can be said that Yang Dingtian couldn't give anything that the evil way could give.

...

Yang Dingtian did not appear directly on the spot, but continued to hide without making a sound, leaving the study room and the main hall.

Two hours later. Yang Dingtian sent a letter to Qin Wanchou.

The content of the letter is very simple.

There is an important matter, please come to Lishui Manor to talk about it!

Signed, Yang Dingtian!

Qin Wanchou just hesitated for a while, and then went to Lishui Manor to make an appointment.

He basically ignored Yang Dingtian's possible ambush.

It can be said. In the entire Northwest Continent, Qin Wanchou had no opponents. Even if the great master next to Yang Dingtian makes a move, he is not afraid.

...

When Lord Zhu Qing arrived at Lishui Manor, it was almost dawn.

Yang Dingtian sat cross-legged by the lake, with a huge jade box beside him.

"What's the matter, tell me." Qin Wanchou said, "I don't really want to see you."

"It's about the plague attack that the Evil Dao may launch in the Northwest Qincheng." Yang Dingtian said: "I can wipe out all the lurkers in all the territories of the Evil Dao in the Northwest Qincheng."

"You didn't kill Qin Qiqi, did Qin Qiqi surrender?" Qin Wanchou guessed the reason all at once.

"Yes." Yang Dingtian said.

"How is it possible? People of the evil way. There is no reason to surrender at all." Qin Wanchou said.

Then, Qin Wanchou smiled and said: "Okay, I don't care whether Qin Qiqi surrendered or not. If you are willing to give me this list, I will be grateful to you. However, I will not promise you anything. What else is there?"

"The second thing is, in the name of the Lord of the Yinzong, I established the Bright Council of the Heavenly Dao League. I invited Northwest Qincheng to join. At that time, the Bright Council will be temporarily independent from the Tiandao League. It will not obey any orders from the headquarters of the Tiandao League, and it will Alliance headquarters, with the same level and power." Yang Dingtian said.

"You, you are crazy..." Qin Wanchou hissed: "You, you are crazy! If you do this, you will attract crazy attacks from the Tiandao League. You will attract crazy attacks from Lord Zhu Qing."

Then, Qin Wanchou said angrily: "Who do you think you are? You are not the vain wandering back then. She was already a semi-saint back then. And you, now you are barely even a master. You do this. You don't know the heights of heaven and earth! , It’s completely self-defeating. You finally defeated Qin Qiqi and Ning Wuming, and you were dazzled by the victory. Zhu Qingzhu and Qin Qiqi are worlds apart.”

After finishing speaking, Qin Wanchou turned around abruptly and said, "Okay, I have nothing to talk to a stupid and crazy person. You are going to die yourself, don't drag others into the water. You should be mentally prepared, once you make it public The day of the Light Council is the time for me to crusade against you. Don't blame me, you set up another Heavenly Dao League, forcing me to stand in line."

Yang Dingtian said with a faint smile: "There is one more thing. Song Xiao of the Northland Tianxiahui has abdicated and passed the leader of the Tianxiahui to Song Chunhua, and also passed the Demon Dragon Wuhun to Song Chunhua. Song Xiao, as the Grand Master The leader of the Supreme Council has signed an agreement to join the Bright Council of the Heavenly Dao League, and launched a big cleansing in the Tianxiahui to kill all the lurkers of the evil way."

Qin Wanchou was startled, and his expression changed. Regarding the changes in the Beidi Tianxiahui, he has indeed received information recently. He knows that the world will undergo drastic changes and civil strife will occur. But what's going on, I really haven't got the most specific information yet.

Because, when the Tianxiahui was being cleaned up, an army of hundreds of thousands had already surrounded Bacheng completely. No one should go out. Therefore, the information naturally cannot be transmitted. And countless heart birds, just after flying out, were hunted and killed by the magic vulture army.

Qin Wanchou's information was discovered by a spy who was dozens of miles away from Bacheng, and then tried to spread it out. However, after tens of miles, he could only see civil strife in the world, but he didn't know what was going on.

Qin Wanchou thought that it was the lurkers in the evil way who supported Song Minghua's rebellion, but he didn't expect it to be Yang Dingtian.

Qin Wanchou was extremely surprised that Yang Dingtian subdued Song Xiao who hated him to the bone.

Putting away the horror in his heart, Qin Wanchou sneered and said: "So what? I haven't paid attention to a mere stupid and extreme Song Xiao. If I really want to attack your Yunxiao City, I am a great master, plus Northwest Nearly ten grandmasters in Qincheng are enough. Capture the thief and capture the king, destroy the great master-level powerhouse next to you, and then destroy you, and everything will be over."

Yang Dingtian sneered and said: "You have already made a decision, are you going to attack me?"

"I didn't say that. I hope that between you and me, the well water will not violate the river water. I admire your justice, but don't think about dragging me into the water, let alone offending me." Qin Wanchou said: "But, once you Publicly announce the establishment of the Bright Council of the Tiandao League. I have no choice. If I don’t do it, Zhu Qingzhu will do it. Once Zhu Qingzhu does it, he will enter the west, and there will be another big tiger by my side. This is intolerable to me."

"It's no wonder that when Qin Qiqi attacked me, you remained calm. It turned out that the meat was all rotten in the pot." Yang Dingtian sneered, "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. In the name of the Lord of the Hidden Sect, he issued the second extermination order in the world. Ye Wucheng, the Lord of Baiyun City, colluded with the Dao of evil spirits, and he committed an unforgivable crime.

"Hahaha..." Qin Wanchou laughed suddenly and said, "Yang Dingtian, can I say that you are holding a chicken feather as an arrow? You attacked Ye Wucheng. Is it because you are afraid that Yunxiao City will not die fast enough? Is it because you are afraid Is Lord Zhu Qing not ruthless enough? Do you think you are living too comfortably? You, the master of the hidden sect, are no bullshit. You are only a master, anyone can crush you to death. The reason why you did not die is because everyone put you Treat it as meat on the chopping board, kill your competitors first, and then eat meat. Do you really think you are so powerful, how great? You are nothing if you are the master of the hidden sect. That idiot Song Xiao will be killed by you Lie."

Yang Dingtian said lightly: "I've already done it. Last night, I led an army of 800 magic vultures to attack Baiyun City by air. At that time, Baiyun City's 200,000 troops were gathering on warships and going to Zhongzhou. I threw 100,000 shells were fired. Kill the 200,000 troops completely..."

"What..." Qin Wanchou's body trembled violently, and he let out an unbelievable voice.

"Not only that, but I also killed the entire Ye family, including Ye Wucheng, including Zhu Xuanning." Yang Dingtian said lightly: "You are worried that Master Zhu Qing will look for opportunities to intervene in the western world. It has given him an incomparably great name."

Immediately, Qin Wanchou's body began to tremble violently, his whole face showed an expression of incomparable horror, he pointed at Yang Dingtian and tremblingly said: "You, you, you stupid thing, I will kill you..."

Yang Dingtian said: "I think Zhu Qingzhu will definitely attack you first after he intervenes in the western world. After all, you are his real opponent to occupy the western world. I am just meat on the chopping board, and I can eat it at any time. Perhaps, He will put the blame for the destruction of Baiyun City on you, at least part of the blame on you. Therefore, the struggle between you and Master Zhu Qing seems to be inevitable."

Qin Wanchou's whole body was trembling, and the chill in his heart burst out in bursts.

"You, did you do it on purpose?" Qin Wanchou said, "I, I will kill you now, and I will hand over the murderer to Zhu Qingzhu and Tiandaomeng right now, and they will have no reason to interfere in the western world." .”

"You can't kill me." Yang Dingtian said lightly: "Even if you put me in front of Zhu Qingzhu, he will not let you go. What he wants is the western world, and it's not justice. You are his biggest Obstacles, nothing has changed."

Then, Yang Dingtian said: "City Lord Qin, I will also give you two choices. The first choice is that you join the Bright Council of the Tiandao League. The second choice is to start a fight between us. I will try my best to drive you out of power and imprison you." You. Let Qin Huaiyu be the Lord of Qin City."

Qin Wanchou was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed out loud!

"Yang Dingtian, you are a complete lunatic and idiot. Who do you think you are when you attack me? Do you think there is an inexplicable grand master by your side, and you are my opponent? Hahaha...how stupid, how stupid! I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth..." Qin Wanchou laughed out loud, and the chill in his eyes gathered in bursts.

"Who am I? I am the number one expert in the western region, and I am a six-star and eighth-rank grand master!" Qin Wanchou said sharply, "Are you looking for death if you attack me?"

Then, Qin Wanchou slowly raised his palm.

"I don't think so..." Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the air, a voice that made Qin Wanchou tremble from the depths of his soul.

Then, Dongfang Nirvana, who was covered in a black cloak, walked out slowly.

He had never spoken in front of outsiders, and this was the first time he spoke.

Qin Wanchou was completely shocked. He pointed to Dongfang Nirvana in disbelief, and said, "You, you, you are..."

"That's right, I'm Dongfang Niemie... Dongfang Niemie of the Yin Yang Sect..." Dongfang Niemie walked up to him and threw off his black cloak.

Suddenly, the face of Dongfang Nirvana was revealed! Of course, this face of Dongfang Nirvana was formed by Yang Dingtian's manipulations, plus Dongfang Nirvana, which changed his face and bones.

The whole process lasted for more than a month, changing the skeleton a little bit every day, and finally Leng Qingchen's face became Dongfang Nirvana.

Of course, Qin Wanchou doesn't look at the face, what he looks at is a breath of energy, temperament of speech, and special spiritual aura.

Especially the spiritual aura, people can change their appearance, but the spiritual aura cannot be changed.

That's right, this is the spiritual aura of Dongfang Niemi, Qin Wanchou is too familiar with it.

More than ten years ago, he did not know how many times he visited the Yin Yang Sect, and he did not know how many times he felt the spiritual aura of Dongfang Nirvana.

"You, aren't you already dead?" Qin Wanchou hissed.

"That's right, but my disciple Yang Dingtian brought me back to life again." Dongfang Nirvana said slowly. (To be continued..)
