A secluded valley nestled between mountains and rivers. The mountain is nestled in the water, and the water reflects the mountain, quiet harmony, and a faint loneliness.

The soft melody sounded, the piano sound was melodious and fluttering, like a song and a complaint, but it seemed to have passed a thousand sails, which could tell the melancholy of the world, let people clarify their hearts, and when they were separated by the sea, they would precipitate all the magnificent waves.

A stunning woman sits cross-legged, her expression sometimes sweet, sometimes sad; Sometimes with a smile on his face, sometimes with a lot of resentment, and an indescribable melancholy in his heart.

The red dust is long, who is buried in deep affection? Acacia song, who complains about the amorous eyes? I can't see through the desolation of the end of the song; Write about the ups and downs of the origin and extinction of the cause; I can't see the nothingness of the lens flowers. Who is it that has torn open my closed heart? Who is it that has failed one of my hearts?

After a long time, the sound of the piano is over!

The stunning woman got up slowly, and the colorful figure stood quietly upright, looking at the face of a handsome young man lying on the ground beside her, and muttered: "Zihao, this place is quiet, and it is also your favorite environment, leaving you here, you must like it!" ”

It's a pity that the young man didn't respond, and his body began to slowly turn cold.

Two days and two nights have passed since Murong Wan took Zhong Zihao's "corpse", and she has not buried the latter, and she is also looking forward to a miracle.

In her heart, although this resolute man is not very old, the path he has traveled in his life is full of legends, and he can often perform miracles. However, the more time passed, the more her expectant heart began to despair.

"Hey!"

All his thoughts boiled down to a free conversation, and the corners of Murong Wan's eyes were already a little moist. She turned around and took out the water sword, and slashed down at the open space beside her, and in a short time, a square pit about one zhang long, five feet wide, and eight feet deep appeared on the ground.

After being silent for a long time again, Murong Wanlian moved lightly, leaned over to lift Zhong Zihao up, and wanted to drop into the pit.

"Hey!" An old sigh suddenly sounded, "Little girl, slow down! ”

"Who?"

Murong Wan was startled, instinctively raised the sword in her hand, and at the same time put the "corpse" back to the ground, a wave of anger instantly filled her heart, she didn't want anyone to disturb this pure place that belonged to Zhong Zihao.

It's just that after she looked around, she didn't find the figure of the person who spoke, and she immediately extended her soul power in full swing, and she didn't find anything.

Could it be that I have been overly anxious in the past few days and have hallucinated my hearing? Murong Wan couldn't help but think so.

"Little girl, I'm behind you!"

The old man's voice sounded again, and while solving Murong Wan's doubts, it shocked her even more: Who is the person who came to be sacred, who can unknowingly avoid the detection of his soul power?

Without any consideration at all, Murong Wanshui swung her sword around, and before she could turn around, she struck the long sword out where the sound came from.

"Sneer......"

The sound of the long sword cutting through the air sounded, but when she turned around and looked, except for the "corpse" of Zhong Zihao, who had long since died, there was no half of a ghost at all?

"Who's pretending to be a ghost here?" Murong Wan was even more furious when she saw this.

This time, the other party did not answer, but directly emitted a puff of green smoke from Zhong Zihao's body, the green smoke was quite thick, and it also brought a faint oppressive force.

In a few moments, in Murong Wan's stunned gaze, a clear-faced old man's figure condensed. The old man was dressed in a gray robe, his facial features were well-defined, his nose was high, and his deep gaze exuded kindness and kindness.

It's just that this figure is very different from the human body, and it seems to be somewhere between the virtual and the real, similar to a translucent state.

If Zhong Zihao saw this scene, he would be quite happy. This old man who appeared out of thin air was naturally the Void Old Man hiding in the Qianlong Ring, but at this moment, his body was at least four or five times more solid than before.

In other words, with the help of the Ghost Zhizhi, the Void Elder has already recovered a lot of soul power.

Although Elder Xuxuan did not show any hostile expression, but such a strange scene happened in front of his eyes, how could Murong Wan dare to relax.

She took a step back, tightened her grip on the Shui Yin Sword in her hand, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" Why are you stopping me from burying my friend? ”

"Little girl, don't panic!" The old man's voice was calm, "The reason why the old man stopped you is because Zihao is not completely dead. ”

"What did you say?"

Murong Wan's whole body shook when she heard this, as if her soul was hit hard, her eyes burst out with dazzling light, and a pair of beautiful eyes turned to Zhong Zihao again and swam up, her heart fluctuating violently uncontrollably.

However, after a while, she was furious without noticing it, turned to stare at the old man, and reprimanded: "Where did the old liar come out of nowhere, with ill intentions, and can even talk nonsense about life and death? ”

"The girl is angry, the old man definitely didn't mean to lie to you." Seeing that Murong Wan was about to go berserk, Elder Xuxuan hurriedly explained, "Zihao is just that his vital symptoms are gone, but he is not dead, at least not completely. ”

"If you think about it, after a normal person dies, the physical body will definitely become cold within a few hours. As for Zihao, two days and two nights have passed before his body temperature begins to drop, is this normal? ”

Murong Wan forcibly held back the anger in her heart, because what Elder Xuxu said, in fact, she also found out, so she guarded Zhong Zihao's "corpse" for so long, and only now was she ready to be buried.

But what does that mean? Can a person who has been pierced in the heart survive to survive? If you can do this, let alone Zhong Zihao, who has cultivated to the sixth order of the sea, I am afraid that even the legendary Void Realm power will not be able to.

As if knowing what she was thinking, Elder Xuxu continued to explain: "I don't know if you have noticed, until this moment, Zihao's pupils have not dilated; Moreover, his soul consciousness sea did not collapse, and the strength of the soul imprint he placed on the storage ring and other objects was not the slightest difference from that before his death. ”

"Really?"

At this time, Murong Wan couldn't help but be suspicious, she quickly leaned over and stretched out her Qianqian jade finger to pull out Zhong Zihao's eyes. As far as the eye could see, the pair of jet-black pupils were as deep as the starry sky as always. Sure enough, as the old man said, there was no sign of dissipation at all.

Confirming this, Murong Wan's heart began to pound uncontrollably, and as for the soul marks on other things, she didn't need to check them at all.

In fact, it's not to blame her for not being careful enough, no one would have thought that people who have been dead for two days still have such an abnormality in their bodies. Well, she hadn't noticed any of this before.

After confirming that what the old man said was true, Murong Wan had already determined that the old man in front of him had no ill will towards him, and he did not mean to deliberately play tricks on himself.

But the hope of being completely silent for a few days was rekindled, and she couldn't help but lose her square inch, and took two steps forward and asked eagerly: "That...... Do you know if it's possible for him to wake up? ”

"Alas!" The old man sighed, shook his head and said, "The old man doesn't know this, please forgive me for being lonely and unheard, this is the first time I have encountered this situation." ”

Murong Wan nodded lightly, she didn't doubt anything about this answer, not to mention that the other party had never encountered such a situation, I believe that anyone is the same, and it is impossible to even hear about it.

Immediately, she seemed to think of something again, raised her head and asked, "By the way, I don't know who the predecessor is, what is the relationship between you and Zihao?" ”

"I am ......" Elder Xuxu just spoke, and then paused slightly before he continued, his voice full of loneliness and loss, "I am a person who should have died a thousand years ago, and only the remnants of my soul have survived to this day. The reason why he is still staying in the world is because he has a blood revenge that has not been avenged, and his obsession has not disappeared. ”

"As for the relationship between me and Zihao...... At this point, the voice of the old man paused for a long time, "In my heart, I treat him as half a disciple. ”

He only said that he regarded Zhong Zihao as half a disciple, but he didn't say what kind of status he had in Zhong Zihao's heart. In fact, the relationship between the two teachers and friends has been preserved for many years, although they don't deliberately talk about it, they both regard each other as one of the most important people in their lives.

"I don't understand very well!" Murong Wan was in a fog, and she didn't have a clue after a long time.

"You don't need to understand, just know that I have been by Zihao's side for many years, and I have no ill will towards him. And you are the first person in the world besides him to know of my existence. If I hadn't seen you preparing to bury Zihao, I wouldn't have shown up to meet you at all. Also, I should thank you. ”

Murong Wan understood the first half of Elder Xu's words, but the second half of the sentence made her more and more confused, why do you want to thank me?

She didn't know that there was nothing false in Xulao's words, and the ghost mushroom that the latter had refined, if it weren't for Murong Wan's help, Zhong Zihao wouldn't have been able to get it so easily.

It's just that he didn't point it out directly, and when he had the opportunity, he would try to help this little girl as much as possible. What's more, in his heart, he already regarded Murong Wan as Zhong Zihao's other half, and he would not feel hot about the filial piety of his juniors.

Murong Wan nodded understandingly, and then asked cautiously: "Senior, according to what you see, can Zihao ......?"

"I, Guan Zihao, should be a person with good luck, and it stands to reason that he will not die early. Moreover, there are many mysteries of Zihao, and no one knows this better than me. So, although I don't know what his situation is at the moment, I firmly believe that there must be a glimmer of life! ”

"Senior, then what should we do for him?"

"No, we just need to protect him and wait for a miracle."

Elder Xuwan and Murong Wan talked for a long time, and they did not hide their liking for the latter, and Murong Wan even begged Elder Xuwan to tell her about Zhong Zihao's other deeds, and the two chatted very speculatively.

Time flickered and it was another day, under the expectant eyes of Elder Xuxu and Murong Wan, Zhong Zihao's body temperature continued to drop, although the reduction rate was very slow, but after a day, his body also became cold, no different from an ordinary corpse.

During this day, the two of them almost never took their eyes off Zhong Zihao's body.

The next day, nothing changed.

On the third day, the same was true.

Until the seventh day, nine days had passed since Zhong Zihao's body was damaged, and Elder Xu, and Murong Wan had not been able to wait for a miracle to appear.

They slowly turned from anticipation to anxiety, then to disappointment, and finally to despair. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and nothing more.

When the ninth day had just passed, and the two of them had no thoughts at all, an incredible scene suddenly happened in front of their eyes!
