Ten miles of wind and grass, a hundred years of ups and downs in the world.

What a pair of empty eyes, no joy and carefree about the things around him, as if he had lost all his soul, let the black-robed man lead, when Qing Ming saw this little girl for the first time, he was also startled by the blood stains on her body, even if she was wearing red clothes, she couldn't hide the shocking blood.

What happened to this girl?

The black-robed man whispered a few times in the ear of the red-robed girl, and then walked directly into the attic, presumably to find the contemporary sword saint Du Xu, this is the first time that Xiao Mu and Qing Ming have seen someone cross the Qing River and come to Changting Nanzhou. The little girl in front of her was still standing there empty, looking very helpless and lonely, like a child abandoned by the world, standing alone in some dark corner.

Qing Ming stepped forward, took the little girl's hand and walked to the depths of the jungle, the moment the little girl was pulled by him, her eyes finally changed for a moment, looking at this boy who was about her age, especially when she met his pure eyes, the girl's heart couldn't help but tremble, what a pair of pure eyes, in this floating world, there is still such a person.

The two walked through the dense bamboo forest, through the jungle overgrown with phoenix trees, to a small hill full of flowers, not far from the small hill is the endless sea, under the blue sky, the sparkling water surface seems to be a delicate jade agate inlaid under the huge sky, surrounded by all kinds of wild flowers. The little girl was stunned by the scene in front of her, and her originally dull eyes instantly became bright, and there was a faint hint of joy.

"It's beautiful here! I used to come here when I was in a bad mood, just look at the sea in the distance, and my mood will be much more comfortable!" Qing Ming looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes changed slightly, and his immature face also showed a bit of excitement.

"Beautiful!"

Qing Ming didn't expect the girl in front of her to answer him, but when he suddenly heard the little girl's voice, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"I give you this bouquet of flowers, and my husband said that life is like these flowers, brilliant and colorful, and if you smile at her, she will smile at you."

The little girl looked at the bouquet of wild flowers in the hand of the boy in white opposite, and then saw the green smile on his face, she suddenly felt a sour nose, and finally couldn't help it, stayed where she was, and cried loudly.

"Hu......h? That you ...... Why are you crying?" the boy in white suddenly panicked.

The little girl still didn't stop crying, which made Qing Ming anxious, he remembered that he hadn't done anything wrong, how could he suddenly make the little girl in front of him cry, the cry floated on the hills full of wild flowers, and refused to disperse for a long time, in the distance, there was the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo forest, which was the whisper of the breeze and the bamboo forest.

"Senior Brother Qingming, how did you make people cry in such a good manner!"

A young man's voice came from down the hill, Qing Ming looked back and saw that the three of them were standing not far away looking at the two people on the hill, and the person who spoke was Xiao Mu, and the other two were Du Xue and the mysterious black-robed man.

Qing Ming hurriedly gave the flower plug in his hand to the red-clothed girl in front of him and trotted down. At this moment, the little girl saw the people under the hill, she also stopped crying, rubbed her eyes with her hands, her originally dull and empty eyes became angry, looking at the white back, and then looking at the colorful flowers in her hands, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but cross a trace of an imperceptible smile.

From Jiangnan to here, she didn't say a word, nor did she eat anything, just followed the black-robed man in a daze, perhaps, the moment the black-robed man rescued her from the sea of corpses and blood, she had become numb to this world. Until just now, that innocent smile made her regain a new life.

People are like this, even a trace of their own kindness can pull people back from the cliff.

......

"Master, Master, I really didn't make her cry, Brother Little Priest misunderstood me!"

After all, Qing Ming is still a child, and now that he is misunderstood, the first thing he naturally does is to explain. Du Xue touched his head and smiled without saying a word, turning his head to look at the black-robed man beside him.

"After so many years, do you want to go back so soon?"

"I'm just passing through here, don't expect me to come to visit you!" a hoarse voice came from the black robe. Qing Ming tried to see what the person inside the black robe looked like, but all he saw was the darkness under the black robe.

"How good the old days were, the four of us ......" Saying this, Du Xue suddenly stopped talking, because the black-robed man had already gone up the hill, came to the little girl's side, and took her hand and walked to the other side.

Du Xue just shook his head in place.

The black-robed man took the little girl's hand and walked away, and the little girl took one last look at the white-robed boy, and then jumped down the hill with the black-robed man. Qing Ming hurriedly ran up to the end of the hill, overlooking the jungle below, and the figures of the two had long disappeared without a trace.

"Senior Brother Qingming, let's go back!"

Xiao Mu's voice came from the distance again, Qing Ming looked back, only to see Xiao Mu waving to him in the distance, while Du Xue turned around and slowly left.

"Oh! I'm coming!"

Qing Ming shouted and trotted down. Halfway through the race, he suddenly noticed a dark cyan jade on the ground, and the position just now was where the little girl was standing.

This was exactly what the little girl was doing, because he had been here many times, and was familiar with every plant and tree here, so he naturally knew what was here, and before that, this dark blue jade did not exist.

"Senior Brother Qingming, hurry up!" Xiao Mu's voice came from the distance again.

"Got it!" Komaki took the piece of jade in his arms and hurriedly followed the footsteps of Du Yasu and Komaki. The jade in his arms lay quietly, exuding a warm breath.

In a prosperous mansion in the imperial capital, a middle-aged man sat above the front hall, looking at the person who came to report below, and the person led by the lower one stood aside with his head bowed, waiting for the instructions of the middle-aged man above.

"According to what you say, the skill of the person who came here is comparable to yours, and you can't tell which sect it is?"

"Exactly!" the man replied unhurriedly as he looked at the sign on his chest that read "Earth" and felt the man's question.

"Uh-huh, I see, they didn't succeed in kidnapping, thanks to the action of the earth. Tell me to go down, and reward each person with two hundred gold coins, this time I have worked hard for you, go down first!"

"Yes!" The man below heard the instructions and just wanted to go out, when the man's words came from behind him, "Wait a minute"

"What else do you have to say, sir!" the man asked, turning his head respectfully.

"How's that going?"

"If you go back to your lordship, as long as you are involved in the impeachment of your lord, all the people have been eliminated, but in the process of eradication, the people of the Xuanhuang and Huangying Guards have been attacked by some kind of force, but they have also completed the task in time!"

"Mystic forces?"

"Exactly, the subordinates are investigating to see if they are the same group of people who robbed the prisoner this time!"

"Hmm......" The middle-aged man above was thoughtful, and then said, "Okay, you go down!"

The man in the lobby watched the figure below leave, turned the wine glass in his hand, and the wine glass stopped after two turns in his hand, and he drank the wine in the glass, looking at the golden mansion, his eyes were full of satisfaction.

Compared to the heavily guarded mansion, a group of people dressed in black were gathering together in a private house in a hidden alley in the imperial city, and an unconscious woman was lying on the bed in the inner room.

"Elder Duan, how is the fourth sister?" said a man looking at the old man sitting on the edge of the bed and taking his pulse.

"White Tiger Protector, Vermilion Bird Protector is more seriously injured, but fortunately, he has snatched a fatal palm, and it is estimated that he will be able to wake up after a few days of cultivation and a few pairs of medicinal materials!" said the old man who was called Duan Lao touched his long white beard.

"That's Lao Duan!"

"You don't have to be so polite, it's all for the pavilion, and the old man will definitely do his best" After the old man finished speaking, he walked to the table at the front desk and picked up the pen and ink to write down the names of some medicinal materials, and after a while, he filled the whole paper, handed it to the man in front of him and said: "Follow this prescription to grab the medicinal materials, and boil it twice a day for her to drink!"

The White Tiger Protector took the prescription, glanced at it, it was all some medicinal materials that he didn't know, and after helping Duan Lao Mu to send him out of the door, he said to the black-clothed people beside him: "You go back to Yuxuan Pavilion first to tell the Pavilion Master, and we will go back to restore our lives after the Vermilion Bird Protector wakes up."

"However, now that the capital is searching for our traces, do you want some of us to stay in case something happens?" said one of them worriedly.

"It doesn't matter, I have my own measure, besides, you should go back quickly, the more people there are, the easier it is to expose your whereabouts!"

"But......" The man was about to say anything more, but was interrupted by the white tiger.

"Let's go as soon as night falls!

"Yes!" the man knew that there was no room for negotiation and that he could only follow orders.

At night, a group of people mixed in the crowd Qiao Zhuang dressed as a passer-by business traveler quietly out of the city gate, in the night shrouded directly to the south of the Yangtze River, the mission failed, I don't know what impact it will have on the future situation.

Now that Han Quan is in power, he is persecuting those who oppose him, and the most notorious incident he has ever committed is the Shengyu Massacre. The three old ministers united with the emperor originally wanted to eradicate Han Quan in one fell swoop, and among the three old ministers, Wang Luo was the leader, he belonged to the old ministers of the three dynasties, and he has always been known as a clean official, and was deeply respected and loved by the people. Due to Han Quan's huge power, Wang Luo and the other two ministers collected evidence of Han Quan's crimes, and originally wanted to give him a fatal blow. But what they didn't expect was that Han Quan's power had reached a terrifying point, and the rumors of this plan leaked out, and Han Quan took a step ahead of time, created evidence, and beheaded them on charges of framing and assassinating the emperor, secretly possessing weapons, and perverting the law for bribes.

All those involved in it could not escape this catastrophe, and the emperor was so mediocre that he compromised with Han Quan and continued his drinking and merrymaking, and the power in the court basically fell into the hands of Han Quan.

At the same time, another major event shook the Imperial Continent like thunder: Changting Continent, where the contemporary Sword Saint Dusu lived, disappeared forever in the South China Sea.

Whether it is the court or the rivers and lakes, the people are panicked, the era of blood and rain is coming, and the undercurrent of forces from all sides is surging.
