The sudden storm lasted two or three hours and did not stop until night.

"Brother Shao, do you have anything else to do next?" Shangguan Chengtai still called Shao Heng by his old name until now, and did not change his words.

Shao Heng looked at Shangguan Chengtai's honest but concerned gaze, and his cold and hard heart, which had been gradually sharpened in recent years, warmed slightly.

"Time is like water, I am no longer the Shao Heng of the year, but Chengtai is still Chengtai. Such a thought suddenly flashed in his heart, and for some reason there was a trace of envy.

"I was planning to go back to the mountain to resume my life, but I didn't expect something like that to happen in Jinyun City, and I met the black-clothed people from Yuxu Mountain and Fang Cai, so I went all the way here. As for the after...... The place you said you were going to was Diping Pass?" Shao Heng suppressed his thoughts and replied casually, but suddenly remembered something.

"Before leaving the sect, Senior Brother Shen once said that if there was a chance for him to put a stick of incense on the little sister who died early in his deceased mother, it seemed that it was not far from Diping Pass?" Shao Heng remembered Senior Brother Shen's commission before leaving, but he couldn't do his best for him because he had been running around all over the place.

"Xuanying has returned to the mountain, and I think that the ancestor should receive the news. The matter of Jinyun City involves a lot of things, and Yuxu Mountain will definitely not stop there, and if Tianshu intervenes rashly, it will easily cause misunderstanding. This matter still needs to be discussed with the ancestor before making a decision, and now it is better to go with Beidou and Chengtai to do filial piety for the senior brother. ”

Shao Heng made up his mind in his heart, and after seeing Chengtai nodding to confirm that it was indeed Diping Pass, he said: "I have nothing else to do for the time being, so it is better to join you." ”

"Great! With Brother Shao here, there must be no problem!" Shangguan Cheng Taile said hehehe.

Nangong Beidou snorted on the side: "If you want to do something, do it yourself, we don't have to do it with you!"

After a few years, Nangong Beidou's unruly spirit has also not diminished, and when he heard Shangguan Chengtai's single-minded admiration for Shao Heng, he couldn't help but stab him.

Shao Heng smiled and said, "It's Senior Brother Shen who mentioned Diping Pass, I have other things to go, but it's just a stopover." ”

When Nangong Beidou heard this, the expression on his face only recovered, and he didn't speak again.

And Ning Qingyun sat in the corner, silent, only quietly looking at Shao Heng when he was not paying attention.

A trace of loneliness flashed in the cut pupils like autumn water, Ning Qingyun lowered her head to hide all her expressions and said, "In this case, you can each choose a room at random to rest for a moment or two, and set off together tomorrow." ”

After speaking, Ning Qingyun stood up first and walked out.

Shao Heng frowned slightly.

In his mind, this place was quite strange and desolate, and with the sudden disappearance of the man in black, it was best for the four of them to get together for safety.

However, thinking that Xu is identity as the other party's woman, there was any inconvenience, so he only said to Ning Qingyun's back: "Senior Sister Ning, then be careful yourself, I will be here, if there is a situation, you can just call out." ”

Ning Qingyun paused, nodded with his back to Shao Heng and the others, and disappeared into the night.

The night after the storm was surprisingly clear, and the stars in the sky were intertwined into a sea of stars, adding a strange beauty to this desolate place.

Ning Qingyun felt the cool breeze, and her eyes swept every room and every carved fence in front of her inch by inch, and her beautiful eyes gradually became a little moist.

In her mind's eye, this place was not as deserted as it was.

She still remembers the smell of fresh lacquer and the faint fragrance of nanmu at that time.

This small town used to be green grass and people came and went.

This is her hometown, and their sheltered courtyard was once her home.

For more than ten years, Ning Qingyun returned here for the first time.

She was only six or seven years old when she left, and her memories were blurred.

But she still remembers, remembers the laughter at the beginning, and remembers the gentle smile of her parents.

Unconsciously, Ning Qingyun walked to the door of a room, she pushed open the mottled wooden door, and looked at the old things inside.

The walls and corners were covered with cobwebs, and after the storm, there was a thick layer of sand everywhere.

This is her parents' house.

Those scenes that were sealed in the memories came to mind intermittently, Ning Qingyun burst into tears, and her cold face seemed to be shattered, removing all her defenses.

She reached out and brushed away the sand on the table, revealing the original color of the table, and her heart was sour and dazed.

Suddenly, Ning Qingyun's eyes focused on the edge of the carved wooden bed, this kind of bed made of special wood, which had not been eroded by insects for more than ten years, still maintained its original color.

In the same way, the traces of the color that are much darker than elsewhere are more distinct.

Ning Qingyun suddenly trembled, walked quickly to the bed, stretched out his hand to touch the trace, but quickly retracted as if he had been burned.

It was as if the scene of that day had reappeared.

She remembers that day, when her father returned from a long journey, he was talking to his mother, who was holding her.

Suddenly, there was a commotion and exclamations in the distance, and everything was clear to the father's face that changed instantly, and the mother's worried gaze.

After that, it was like a nightmare.

Everyone's screams converged and smashed into her young heart.

Her mother made her fall asleep and hid her under the bed.

When she opened her eyes again, she found that all her relatives were dead, and her mother was dead by the bedside, bleeding all over the floor.

Ning Qingyun remembered the original scene, and hatred welled up in her heart.

Not long after she woke up, Xiao Zhuo appeared in front of her, taking the young Xiao Yu with her.

She didn't think much about it at the time, and was even grateful to him.

Not only because of Xiao Yu's friendly smile at that time, but also because Xiao Zhuo helped bury the corpses of the whole town.

After losing her relatives, Ning Qingyun spent a fairly happy time in Kunlun Mountain, Xiao Zhuo did not appear most of the time, except for the old servants at home, she and Xiao Yu depended on each other.

Until that day, Xiao Zhuo found out that Ning Qingyun was secretly cultivating and was furious, and almost immediately drove her out of Kunlun.

Ning Qingyun began to doubt everything, and began to realize how unreasonable Xiao Zhuo's appearance was that day.

Her mind became heavier and heavier, more and more silent, more and more indifferent, and her hatred sprouted little by little until she covered the sky, and she could no longer get along with Xiao Yu as before.

Maybe it was the tragedy that urgently needed someone to reveal the answer, no matter how Xiao Yu explained, Ning Qingyun thought that Xiao Zhuo was an enemy and did not believe that his parents were involved in the murder of Xiao Ze and his wife.

In her memory, her parents were ordinary except the most decent people in the town, how could they be compared to monks?

In recent years, she has also repeatedly wondered whether the murderer of her parents and the entire town is the Mr. Qinghua who amazed the entire Shenzhou.

Whether it is or not, Xiao Zhuo has become the target that Ning Qingyun is bent on surpassing, which makes her burst out with a strong will in the pain and hatred of more than ten years of hardship!

If you want revenge, you want to stand out from others, and you want to fight for superiority......

Thinking of this, Ning Qingyun was particularly tormented in her heart.

She sat on the edge of the bed, unconsciously clenched her pink fists, her long nails embedded in her palms, leaving deep marks, but she didn't feel the pain.

Suddenly, Ning Qingyun's heart tightened, and her eyes were fixed on the head of the bed.

The bed was also covered with dust, especially a lot of yellow sand from the storm.

But there was only a thin layer of sand and dust on the foot of a pillar at the head of the bed, and there was a very shallow finger mark under the dust, with a faint blood color, as if it had just dried up.

Ning Qingyun stood up, and the red carp coiled around her like a snake, exuding a bright red light.

She brushed away the sand with a stiff movement, and saw the bloody handprint more clearly.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Ning Qingyun's mind, but they couldn't be connected.

In her mind, this room was just a memory of her parents, but nothing else.

Ning Qingyun reached out and grabbed the top of the bedpost carved in the shape of a goshawk and turned it slightly.

"Click", when the sound of the machine came, on the carved wooden bed that represented warmth, the bed board moved slowly, revealing a black hole passage, and the blood around Ning Qingyun's body seemed to be frozen.

The long staircase led straight to the dark depths, and the stairs at the entrance were speckled with fresh blood, subverting Ning Qingyun's entire impression of his home.

Ordinary people?

Ning Qingyun trembled violently, and could even hear the collision of his teeth.

Xiao Yu's words when he quarreled with himself all came to mind in an instant:

"How innocent do you think you are? Revenge for your parents? Am I going to take revenge on you?"

"Why do you use a pseudonym? Because my poor mother, who died tragically at the hands of your father, has her surname Shangguan!"

What did she say at the time?

She said that her parents would never do such a thing, she said that Xiao Yu was deceived by her fake uncle, and she said that she was spewing blood.

In the darkness, Ning Qingyun's eyes were helpless and desperate.

Everything in front of her revealed that all her persistence back then was like a joke.

"No! No, no! Even if they are not ordinary people, they will never harm others!" Ning Qingyun's originally beautiful face was tangled at the moment, sometimes green and sometimes white.

"But...... The bloodstain was clear from an hour ago...... Maybe it's the man in black that Shao Heng chased and killed......"

The red carp rose high as if it had been stimulated by something, and the heat wave continued to disperse in circles and circles.

"How would that kind of person know about a mechanism that I don't even know?"

The tables and chairs in the room couldn't help Ning Qingyun's qi fluctuations violently, crashing into countless fragments on the surrounding walls, and the chaotic qi waves were like the ever-changing entanglements in her heart.

"If what Yu'er said is true...... If what she said is true!" Ning Qingyun closed her eyes in pain, as long as she thought of this possibility, her heart was like ten thousand insects gnawing at her.

"Cough!" Ning Qingyun's mouth was sweet, and the depression in his chest seemed to express a little with this mouthful of blood.

Ning Qingyun, who calmed down slightly, gradually calmed down the red carp in her hand from dancing like a wild dragon to gradually calming down.

She looked at the dark passage like the mouth of a giant beast, and took a deep breath to enter it, but suddenly heard movement behind her.

Shao Heng's calm and calm voice was like a pool of cold spring water, which made Ning Qingyun pause: "Senior Sister Ning, what happened?"

She turned her head and saw Shao Heng and Nangong Beidou's eyes from surprise to solemnity, and opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak.
