It was a crisp winter day, he remembered.

Under the drowsy sky, the cold wind blew and buzzed in people's ears, and it was even more difficult to open their eyes.

He shuddered, struggling to rummage through the stiff corpses around him, hoping to find a mouthful of food.

However, he was disappointed.

He fell on his back in the bloody snow, smiling helplessly, feeling his eyes slowly closing.

Looks like I'm going to die too......

"Senior brother, look there!" At this moment, a crisp sound reached his ears, but he was powerless to fight his tired eyelids, and finally he was not aware of the darkness.

……

When he opened his eyes again, it was as if he had arrived at a place guarded by spring.

The flowers and plants are bright, and the butterflies are flying, which makes him think that he has died to get here.

"It turns out that Huangquan Road is quite beautiful." He muttered, but a woman's laughter came from behind him: "Fool, this is not Huangquan, you are not dead!" ”

"What? I, I'm not dead? He looked back in surprise and saw a fair-skinned girl, about eight or nine years old, with big smart eyes and a smile and pride.

"Of course, if I make a move, how can you die? Although you have been in a coma for eight whole days, you are fine with my careful treatment. The girl said excitedly: "Hey, my name is Lu Wan'er, what's your name?" ”

"Me? I, my name is Ji Liuyun. He looked at the girl, still a little incredulous: "You really saved me?" ”

"Eh, don't underestimate me, I'm amazing. To save you. But I'll carry you out of the snowdrift. dragged all the way into the valley, and treated you every day, okay? The girl's expression suddenly darkened again as she spoke: "That, when my senior brother and I met you, you were the only one who still had breath, and everyone else was already dead, so, I'm sorry." I can't save your family. ”

"You don't have to say sorry." He smiled at her: "They're not my family, they're just human traffickers." ”

"What? Are they human traffickers? The girl was surprised.

"Well, for as long as I can remember, I watched them sell me around, but this time who knows who they provoked, attracted a group of people to chase and kill, everyone died, and only me was left." He smiled self-deprecatingly, "They don't bother to kill me." ”

"That's because you have a short-lived appearance." At that moment, a tall boy walked in with a sword.

"Senior brother?"

"Senior sister, Master said. If he wakes up, bring him there. The boy finished. He turned around and went out, and the people were as cold as snow on that winter day.

"Don't care, senior brother is like this, he looks very cold, but in fact, he is quite haode." The girl said and helped him up: "Let's go, Master wants to see you, I'll take you over." ”

He glanced at the figure in the distance: "He, what's his name?" ”

"Cangyun, like you, is also a fatherless and motherless person."

……

After that day, he stayed in the valley and was accepted as a disciple by the master, becoming a junior disciple in the valley.

However, he did not see the master, but through a stone wall, he listened to a deep voice speak to him, and then respectfully knelt down to the stone wall and kowtowed to the master.

Every day, he watched his senior brother confront his senior sister in the sea of flowers, and when the senior sister was panting and lying on the ground and saying nothing, the senior brother would go to the pool under the waterfall in the valley alone to practice wielding his sword by himself, and he would go to the senior sister to talk to her for a while, or listen to her dissatisfied scolding the senior brother for being a madman or something.

Compared with the hard work of the two of them, he can be said to be very leisurely, because the cultivation given to him by the master turned out to be reading books, reading books in an entire hall.

"Become a great talent who is admired by the world!" This is the future that Master has set for him, and he readily accepts it, so every day, his brother and sister are practicing hard, while he holds the book and reads diligently.

A year has passed.

He is not weak, nor is he yellow-skinned, but his progress in reading is very slow.

The books in the entire hall, according to Master's wishes, should be read in a year, but he just can't remember them, and he forgets them after reading them for a long time, and he always stagnates like this, except for medical books.

This is the only category he doesn't forget, and while it's not so magical that he can't forget it, it's something he can memorize by heart compared to the other books he's memorized over and over again and forget all of them.

Finally, when the day came for the master to leave the customs, he deliberately dressed up and stood in front of the stone wall respectfully with his brothers and sisters.

When the master walked out from behind the stone wall, he admired the immortal family style and bones, but when the master saw him, his eyes flashed with a bright color, and then he grabbed his wrist without saying a word.

A scorching heat pierced from his wrist and into his heart.

The pain also started suddenly from the limbs.

At that moment, he thought he was going to die, but the strange thing was that a touch of cold ice suddenly shook up in his heart, and he quickly rushed towards the scorching heat in his body, although it was not so suppressed, and even some hit the stone with an egg.

However, the scorching heat within him immediately receded, and then the master's hand let go of his wrist and looked at him happily: "Born Yin Vein, haha, Born Yin Vein!" God, help me! ”

One sentence made him inexplicable, making the senior brother look at him in horror, but the senior sister showed a touch of horror on her face.

"Master......" He knelt down and saluted in a daze and panic, and the chill flowing in his body was slowly receding.

"Liuyun, I told you to remember the book, how do you remember?" The master asked with a happy face, but he was very embarrassed.

When he told Master that he could only memorize medical books and everything else was difficult, he thought that he would be scolded by Master, but it turned out that Master sighed: "Heaven's will! ”

He was confused again, but he didn't get a chance to solve his doubts, because the master's next sentence turned out to be: "You and Ah Yun go out first, and Wan'er stays." ”

He obediently followed his senior brother out of the house, when he left. inadvertently glanced at Senior Sister. That glimpse of the sky. What he saw was the uneasy face of his senior sister.

Perhaps, she didn't finish Master's explanation......

At that time, he thought so stupidly and walked away, not knowing that on this day, when the master found out that he had an innate yin vein, the senior sister who saved him. Lives are on the line.

"I want to try." This is the first time in a year that the senior brother has taken the initiative to speak to the master in addition to conveying his orders.

"Try what?" He was puzzled, but the senior brother grabbed his wrist, and again, a burning heat rushed into his body.

Although it was not as fierce and straight to his heart as before, the heat still made him feel pain.

As a result, the icy aura surged up again, and he could feel the inexplicable cold in his body gathering and crashing towards the scorching heat.

"It seems that in the future, the person who will recruit me. It's you. There was no joy or anger in the senior brother's eyes. He withdrew his hand indifferently and looked at him.

This is the first time you've looked at me seriously......

He unconsciously had such a sigh in his heart, in the year in the valley, he only had his senior sister, and the senior brother was never close to him.

"Senior brother, weishenme, will I be the one who will fight you in the future? Isn't there a senior sister? ”

He was puzzled, because he didn't know anything at all, especially when he was as handsome as his senior sister and beckoned him, he didn't dare to think about it at all.

"There is only one person who can inherit life, and the master has found you who are born with yin veins, an acquired substitute like Wan'er, naturally...... It will be discarded by the Master. After the senior brother said this, he turned and left.

Looking at the slightly lonely back, Ji Liuyun became more and more confused, as if he didn't understand what his senior brother said.

And half an hour later, he finally saw his senior sister in the sea of flowers, and rushed to her side excitedly, only to see tears in her eyes.

"Senior sister, what's wrong with you?" He asked, reaching out to wipe her tears.

Senior Sister stared at him for a long time before she said, "Tomorrow, I will enter the path of life and death." ”

"What?" He was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

The day after he worshipped the master as his teacher, the senior brother took him to know everything in the valley according to the master's wishes, including the path of life and death in the depths of the valley.

"Those who enter the valley, once they enter the master's door, must take everything in the valley as a secret and hide it in their hearts, without the permission of the master, they must not go out of the valley privately, and the violator will take this road of life and death, the road of life and death, hence the name, there is life and death, but it is not half of each, but nine deaths and one life, so, you zuihou always remember this, don't enter in vain."

Senior Brother's cold words made him realize that it was a terrible place, and now Shijie said that he was going to enter the path of life and death, how could he not be shocked?

“weishenme？ Did you make any mistake that Master wants to punish you so severely? He asked, puzzled.

But she bit her lower lip: "This is Master's test for me." ”

One sentence made him see the unwillingness and strength in her eyes, but he didn't know what to say.

That night, he silently accompanied his senior sister to lie in the sea of flowers and watch the stars all night, and when the day was bright, he couldn't stay up and fell asleep, and the senior sister got up and walked into the master's room.

……

In front of the entrance of the Dao of Life and Death, Senior Brother and he looked at her who was dressed up extraordinarily neatly.

"Senior sister, you must come out." He cheered her on excitedly, but she pursed her lips and didn't speak.

"I'll go back and wait for you at the exit." After the cold senior brother said a word, he turned around and walked to the other end, and at that moment, the senior sister's body straightened up a lot.

"I'll wait for you at the exit too!" He spoke loudly, and the senior sister finally looked at him, and then smiled at him sweetly: "Don't worry, the senior sister will definitely come out!" ”

With a bright smile, she turned around and entered the cave of life and death, and he quickly chased after her senior brother and headed for the exit.

He thought that he would wait until his senior sister came out, but it turned out that two hours later, the senior brother standing at the door suddenly rushed in from the exit.

When he rushed in with a puzzled follower, a scorching breath rushed over, and he fell out of the exit as if he had been slapped in the face, and then he could only wait quietly.

Half an hour later, the senior brother walked out of the exit with his senior sister in his arms......

"Senior sister!" Looking at the senior sister who was burned to the point of redness, he instinctively got up and rushed over, and the moment he grabbed her hand, he felt unusually hot.

"Her own cultivation is not enough, and the cold air can't hedge against the poison, and the poison has entered the body, so ......" Senior Brother's lips pursed: "She will definitely die." ”

"No, no, senior sister, she won't die!" He shook his head and grabbed her hand tightly, full of only one thought: Senior sister, you can't die! (To be continued......)
