The faint light was reflected on the calm river, quietly fainting a little quiet.

Bai Yan stood near the river, looking at the brightly lit opposite bank a little distracted.

Twenty years, only twenty years, this Hongmeng Town has become not the place she remembers.

It used to be a deep forest, and there was only one path leading to the outside world, and they were not allowed to go out in normal times.

However, bold children will still swim to the other side to pick wild fruits and hide and seek, and Bai Yan has spent his entire childhood like this.

It's not that she didn't have curiosity about the outside world, but under the intimidation of her elders, those curiosity was gradually replaced by an inexplicable fear.

The first time she said goodbye to Bai Shu, she also spent it in this curious and fearful mood.

In the days when he went out to travel, Bai Yan could hardly sleep every night.

It was as if the vast world outside was a ferocious beast that would inadvertently devour her brother, leaving her alone in this narrow corner.

Later, Bai Shu returned to the Bai family and brought another person.

Later, she secretly left the Bai family and met someone too.

The one who made her recognize herself.

It seems that overnight, the young Bai Yan has grown up, and his fear of the outside world has evolved into a bit of longing.

She wanted to go outside, to see the world he came from.

"Auntie. ”

Bai Qing's voice interrupted Bai Yan's thoughts, she quietly hid the nostalgic look in her eyes, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Qing opened his mouth, and stopped talking a little, and when Bai Yan cast a scrutinizing gaze, he had no choice but to say, "Bai Xiu is gone." ”

Bai Yan couldn't help frowning, and asked with a bit of questioning in his words: "What's the matter?"

Bai Qing said: "In the afternoon, after searching with the people of the Six Sects, I returned to the Ming Greedy Wolf Division, and Bai Xiu was gone.

I didn't care at the time, thinking that he was just going out temporarily, but Bai Che just came to me and said that Bai Xiu had never returned.

Later, Bai Che inquired from the people of the Six Sects that not long after we left, Bai Xiu also went out with a disciple who was searching.

But the strange thing is that I asked a lot of people, and they didn't know the disciple. ”

Bai Yan's expression was a little ugly, and he sneered: "I'm afraid that we fell for the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain, and Ming Yu Chu Yi took him away." ”

"It's not impossible. Bai Qing lifted his glasses, hesitated for a moment, and said, "But listening to those disciples, Bai Xiu seems to have taken the initiative to participate in the search with that person, and there is no sign of being coerced."

Auntie, will it be Bai Xiu He already knows......"

"Not necessarily. Bai Yan said with a smile, "Only God knows about that matter, you know and I know, could it be that one of us told him?"

Bai Qing naturally heard the questioning meaning in her words.

He said meaningfully: "Auntie, Bai Xiu has always been sharp and extremely meticulous, and any unusual thing may arouse his suspicions.

Just like what happened to Xianyoujian last time, I'm afraid he has already guessed who the people behind the four members of the Fang family are. ”

Seeing that she was silent, Bai Qing said again: "Besides, as long as we leave any clues, I am afraid he will follow the traces, and it won't be long before he suspects us." ”

"Are you saying that he has become suspicious, so he secretly investigated with Ming Yuchu?" Bai Yan looked at him and raised his eyebrows.

She smiled suddenly, and there seemed to be a bit of ridicule in her words: "Don't worry, don't say anything else, he won't doubt us."

Or he didn't dare, he, like his father, took some things too seriously, so he would rather be deceived than see the facts, even if he already knew it. ”

This time it was Bai Qing's turn to fall silent.

He stared at Bai Yan with a somewhat complicated expression, and finally spoke, "Auntie, do we have to do this?"

Bai Yan didn't answer, just slowly turned his head, brushed the hair around his ears, and looked at the bright lights on the other side, with a bit of unknown brilliance flashing in his eyes.

"Ah Qing, the arrow is on the bow, there is no turning back. She whispered, "What's more, to achieve great things, some sacrifices are also necessary, aren't they?"

Bai Yan walked down the embankment, and his figure gradually disappeared into the night.

Bai Qing couldn't help but sigh.

He looked up at the sky, the bright moon had already risen, but it was hazy and dyed with a layer of coldness, which made people feel inexplicably uneasy.

"It's going to be a change......

On the other side, a wide underground river flows quietly, and only two footsteps echo in the cave.

Ming Yuchu glanced at Bai Xiu.

He was still in a hurry, and he didn't seem to have recovered from the previous incident.

She frowned and asked, "Hey, do you have something on your mind?"

"Me?" Bai Xiu looked up at her, obviously not understanding what she meant.

Ming Yuchu snorted lightly and said coldly: "It's not you, who else, could it be that I'm asking myself?"

"I ...... I'm fine. Bai Xiu smiled dumbly and shook his head slightly.

Ming Yuchu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Then let me ask you, what kind of nightmare did you have before......?"

Makes you so sad.

The last sentence, she still didn't say it.

Bai Xiu really didn't know why she asked this so decisively, she was stunned for a while, and said disapprovingly: "It's a very chaotic dream, I can't remember it clearly, I guess I dreamed about it when I was a child." ”

"Things ...... When I Was a Kid"

As far as one side is concerned, Ming Yuchu actually knew Bai Xiu for a long time, so he naturally heard a lot of rumors about him.

Thinking of herself again, she inevitably felt a little sympathy in her heart.

She looked at Bai Xiu and said in a low voice, "It must have been a hard time at that time, right?"

Her thoughts gradually fell into memories, and she said slowly: "Actually, I still have a younger brother, called Lu Ning, who is a few years younger than me, and we were very good when we were children, but unfortunately later......

I really hated that day, which made me lose all my loved ones and made me displaced, drifting like duckweed. ”

Bai Xiu was a little reluctant, but what he said casually reminded her of those unbearable pasts.

He didn't know how to comfort her for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "We have to look forward, let those things that have passed past, I think your relatives must also hope that you will live well." ”

"yes, it's all gone. Ming Yuchu nodded, and then mocked, "When I get the power of the Heaven of Robbery, I want to see how those guys who once snubbed the well will react!"

Bai Xiu didn't speak, in fact, this kind of Ming Zhi Chu was the Ming Chu he first knew.

Yes, the beginning of the Ming Dynasty is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty after all, she is like a sword, and her sharp edge will kill everyone who stands in her way.

He finally made up his mind.

"Is there really nothing wrong with our direction?" Ming Xue Chu came back to his senses, looked at the river stretching ahead, and couldn't help but ask.

They had walked for nearly two hours, but the river seemed to have no end, and she couldn't see where the exit was.

"Probably not. Bai Xiu glanced back and said quietly, "There is no fork in this river, there is no reason for us to go wrong." ”

Ming Yuchu put forward his own speculation: "Could it be another phantom array?"

Bai Xiu smiled comfortingly and said: "Bai Mound is quite far away from Li Town, it is reasonable that we have been walking for so long, don't worry, let's go further, if it is still like this, we will make another plan." ”

Ming Yu Chu didn't have any suspicions, and said helplessly: "It's only like this now, it's just that there are many long nights and dreams, and we have been down for so long, I don't know if anything will happen outside." ”

After saying this, she felt a little happy in her heart.

Fortunately, she didn't leave the Bai family disciple's life because of a momentary soft-heartedness, otherwise when she returned to it, she would probably be entertained by the six sects' heaven and earth net.

She has always done her own thing, and she has never done less to kill people, and she has never had such concerns.

But for some reason, in the face of Bai Xiu's questioning, she was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, so she obediently obeyed his request.

Fortunately, she woke up in time.

That's right, Bai Xiu didn't know, in fact, at that time, Ming Yu Chu secretly placed a terrible charm on that person.

Although he still had a chance of life at that time, there was no chance of survival in the end.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with her doing this, she had seen too many examples, sometimes cutting the grass without eradicating the roots, in the end, it would only hurt herself.

What's more, she has already killed the Bai family, anyway, they are all killing, what is the difference between killing one and killing two?

Ming Yu was thinking crankily at the beginning, but Bai Xiu suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" she looked inquiringly.

Bai Xiu pointed not far away, pretending to be surprised: "It seems to be a fork in the road ahead." ”

As soon as Mingzhi's heart moved, a spell was about to be ignited.

By the faint light of the spell, she saw a tributary appear in the river in front of her.

The two glanced at each other, and immediately quickened their pace and walked towards that side.

When they reached the fork in the road, Ming Yu burned another spell, and now they finally saw the situation here clearly.

The river in front of me is much wider and deeper than before, and the upper reaches of the river are upstream, because the riverbed is steep and the current is a little rapid.

And the tributaries on the other side were not inferior, the river was noisily rushing towards the southeast, no wonder they hadn't approached yet, Bai Xiu heard the movement first.

"Which direction leads to Shiratsuka?"

Ming Zhichu only cared about this problem.

Bai Xiu looked at it and said, "This tributary shouldn't be the way to Baizuka, look at the direction, it goes straight through the bottom of the Suling River to the outside." ”
