The flowers bloom and then wither.

The stars are bright, but the light is gone.

This planet, the sun, the Milky Way, and even that universe will have a time to die.

Compared to these things, a person's life is like a matter of an instant.

In such an instant, man is born, laughing, crying, hating, joy, sorrow, love, all but a fleeting encounter, and finally all of them will be reduced to the eternal sleep of death.

A man in an imperial robe with black and white hair walked on a rugged mountain road.

In addition to the snow-white fur in his hand, there was also a doll wrapped in a yellow robe.

The little doll didn't cry or make a fuss, showing her only two baby teeth, biting her thumb, grinning, and smiling at the man.

The wind of an era rolls, and the dust of a century falls, and when it comes to him, it only adds a few more traces of white to his head.

Anyone has something precious in their arms, but when they have it, Eternal Fortune will not notice it. I noticed the heaviness, but it was when everything slipped quietly from my hands. I don't know how many times I thought about it repeatedly, don't hug it again, but I don't know when, I took this responsibility in my arms again.

Walking on the mountain road, it is a never-ending trek. He looked at the smiling toddler in his arms, and a long-lost smile appeared on Furui Wubo's face.

After passing through the steep peaks, crossing the treacherous canyons, and experiencing thousands of dangers, the man finally came here again.

It is a fairyland, although the terrain is dangerous, but the fairy atmosphere is indeed refreshing.

The little one in his arms was already asleep. There was still a smile on his face.

At the entrance to the mountain pass, there is a huge stone gate, and the words "Zhouxing Avenue" are written on the door.

The man stepped up the stone steps, a stone path made of stone.

The man recited the scriptures, and with each step, the strange words, pictures, etc. carved on the stone steps glowed with golden light. Each time, the man was refracted with light.

Walking on this stone path, the man remembered the first time he walked this avenue.

Looking back on so many years, he has walked thousands of roads, but only this one is the slowest and longest road he has walked. Not because you have to recite the scriptures at every step, but because it's a way to ask.

He walked for a long time, and after a long time he appeared on a mountain peak, and in front of him was a clearing. Across the clearing, there is an attic. That is the "Sword Pavilion".

In the clearing, a little girl of seven or eight years old was practicing. Seeing the man in the emperor's robe, he pointed his sword at him and asked, "Who are you who dare to break into the Sword Pavilion." ”

Before the man could speak, a voice came.

"You're here. ”

"Yes, unfilial disciple, Yue Changge is back. ”

The little girl was very surprised, this is the legendary Moon Long Song Demon Emperor?

"Although there is a difference between righteousness and demons now, I dare not forget the grace of the sword given by the master back then. ”

"Heh, knowing that there is a difference between the righteous and the demon, you still dare to come to the Sword Palace?"

"Why don't you dare, this spiritual mountain, where else can I not go?"

"yes...... There is still a place you can't go to this spiritual mountain. It's ridiculous that there is no one in the Sword Palace who can compare to you, the Demon Dao Emperor. ”

As he spoke, the heavens and the earth darkened, and in its place was a huge chessboard, with the moon long song at one end, and a bad old man dressed like a beggar appeared at the other end.

The old man casually pointed out a finger and shot out a ray of light, which landed on the chessboard and turned into a white piece.

Seeing this, Yue Changge stopped talking, and also pointed out a son.

The two used heaven and earth as a chessboard, and cultivated as a chess piece, and evolved into all living beings, all things in heaven and earth, but although the Demon Emperor was a disciple, he had already surpassed his master. After two hours, the white son was already negative.

"Master, you lost again. ”

A trace of blood overflowed from the corner of the old man's mouth, he took a deep look at Yue Changge, turned around and left, only a long sigh came into Yue Changge's ears: "You go, since you are already the Demon Emperor, this little Sword Palace is no longer enough to be an obstacle to you, and I am not worthy of being the master of the Demon Emperor." ”

"The disciple has said, the grace of the sword is unforgettable, and I came to ask for something. Yue Changge said softly.

“......”

The old man stopped, but he didn't turn around, still with his back to Yue Changge.

"This kid hopes that Master can stay, he is in the Sword Palace, safer than being by my side. ”

"Who is he?"

"He is Xiaoci's child. ”

"Xiao Ci ......" The old man silently read the name, and the child in Yue Changge's arms slowly floated in the air and flew towards the old Taoist.

"Thank you, Master. ”

......

In the mundane world, Changzhou City.

At this time, it was midnight, and in the forest on the outskirts of Changzhou City, there was a cemetery, and a man in black wearing a mask was standing in front of a grave. One handprint after another formed in his hand, and on the ground where he was standing, a mysterious formation emerged, which actually gathered the yin qi of midnight, and even magnified it by a few points.

In the midst of this gloomy aura, a woman sat cross-legged, her hair windless and automatic, like a ghost.

"Why help me?" the woman looked at the man in black like a wolf.

"Hahaha, I have my purpose, you don't need to ask, cultivate with yin qi, and find another way in the world where the aura is thin. The masked man said, "Go and do what you want, if you can go to Lingshan alive, the Ten Thousand Ghost Sect has a place for you." ”

After saying that, it turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.

The next day, Li Sinan led the white horse into Changzhou City, and behind him, Xia Zining followed unreasonably. On the way, Li Sinan had asked Xia Zining to go back more than once, but it was obvious that no matter what Li Sinan said, Xia Zining was like she couldn't hear it, and she ignored it.

As soon as I walked into Changzhou City, it felt that something was wrong, and the people in the city were panicked when they walked. Li Sinan stopped a person and asked where there was a place to stay, the man glanced at Li Sinan and Xia Zining, and sighed: "Alas, Gongzi shouldn't come here, there has been a plague in the city recently, I see, Gongzi should leave, tomorrow I will take my children to Fengyang City, which is not far from here." ”

After saying that, he left without looking back.

"Plague, haven't you heard of any minister saying that there is a plague?" Xia Zining frowned slightly.

Li Sinan glanced at Xia Zining, walked straight forward, and continued to look for an inn, fortunately, this Changzhou City should have been a prosperous place before, and there were many hotels, Li Sinan entered one at random.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Xiao Er's scolding: "You stinky begging for food, here you come again! Get out!"

Li Sinan followed the sound, but saw a person drunk on the ground, although his hair was a little messy and his face was a little dirty, but looking at his clothes, he didn't look like a beggar, even if he was drunk, but he was still holding a pot of wine in his hand.

Xiao Er threw the man out of the door with a scolding push, and the man leaned on the stairs, and with a whoop, he vomited dirt.

When Li Sinan saw this person, he felt a little kind, and he still remembered that when he was still in the Lingshan Sword Palace, the old man was always drunk and unconscious, and he always did the cleaning of the house.

Li Sinan came to this person, took out a pill from his body, and fed it to this person, who took the pill and looked drunk. He opened his eyes and saw Li Sinan's face with a faint smile, and asked with a little doubt: "This brother is eye-catching, I don't know if you are?"

"Under Li Sinan, I saw that my son was drunk here, I don't know why?" Li Sinan hugged his fists.

"Hmph...... Son...... What kind of son am I? My father died, my uncle took over the family property and flew away, my mother was sick, but the family had no money for medical treatment, you say, what kind of son am I?" the man cried and poured himself another sip of wine.

"The world is impermanent, why should you do this?"

"No...... It's not that things are impermanent. A frightened expression suddenly appeared in the man's eyes: "There are ghosts, there are ghosts...... Do you believe it?"
