Kyushu, Guizhou Province, 100,000 mountains, stretching for thousands of miles.

In winter, the birds hide in the forest, the insects sleep in the soil, and the mountains are sluggish.

In the old days, mountains and rivers meet, and this high-altitude area is always warm.

Nowadays, the west wind has also come from far away, and when it comes here, the evergreen broad-leaved mountains and forests are either bleak and withered, or the leaves are curled up, and they are no longer so luxuriant.

There is only a landscape, the mountains are dazzling green, and the branches are luxuriant, but there is always a lingering faint mist, like a mysterious place in the mountains.

This place is the landscape and landform with a radius of dozens of miles from the White Dragon Snow Mountain.

Today, it is collectively known as the White Dragon Demon Mountain by the cultivation world, and it is listed as one of the top ten forbidden places in the cultivation world!

A year ago, there was another eruption in the White Dragon Demon Mountain, and the black gas erupted, spreading out in an instant, covering the mountains and forests within a radius of dozens of miles, and the beast tide swept away, and the lives in the mountains were devastated.

The place where human beings were expelled and slaughtered in this mountain, and where the black gas spread, was the forbidden land.

In the forbidden land, it is completely a place where wild beasts gather.

The cultivators of the world know that the reason why this place is called a forbidden place is that wild beasts can absorb black qi and wisely turn demons, while ordinary people can't go deeper.

At that time, the second major change in the White Dragon Demon Mountain made people feel that things had become more and more uncontrollable, and they knew that they could not continue to let it go, let the beasts in the mountains grow and threaten the world.

This will never be tolerated!

So at that time, the cultivation forces formed by the state took the lead, convened all the cultivators in the cultivation world, and asked to send some people to carry out a clean-up operation.

The purpose is to control the number of beast groups in the White Dragon Demon Mountain in advance and reduce the threat.

Because that's all you can do, the beast can kill, but the black gas is the root, and there's no way.

That time, the above took the lead, but the reaction of the cultivation world was very cold, because at that time, the Nameless Mountain Tribulation, the entire cultivation world suffered heavy losses, and the various Dao Sects no longer had the extra energy to bother with it, just to kill some beasts.

The lead failed, and the hanging operation became an oolong, and it was over.

It wasn't until a few months later that the news that there was a beast in the White Dragon Demon Mountain that had a strange light, led to a thunder tribulation, was struck by lightning, and that the corpse had a miraculous effect, and that no one wanted to come to this forbidden place instantly became lively.

That was the first case, an example that really proved that a beast could turn into a demon, after all, it was just a speculation in the general direction before, but it didn't come to that point!

It is rumored that the corpse of the beast that has turned into a demon was found and taken away by the forces above, and it is rumored that the characteristics of this beast that can advance to the demon beast are spread.

For example, the flesh is pale and shiny, and the food has a peculiar fragrance, which can greatly increase the internal qi, and the skin and bones are as tough as iron........

In short, after the news of the first case of beast advancement appeared in the White Dragon Demon Mountain that day, this place called a forbidden place had more cultivators coming.

Until now, the White Dragon Demon Mountain, an area that is collectively referred to by the black qi that stretches for more than 100 miles in diameter, has been witnessed one after another five or six cases of beast transformation into demons and thunder tribulations, and there are forces that have coincidentally obtained the failed tribulation and the dead beast body.

The beast turns into a demon, and as there are more and more cases, from rumors to confirmations, confirmations.

Then, more and more practitioners came.

Some of them just try their luck and want to see this miracle with their own eyes, while others simply practice on the periphery, and if they don't delay their practice, they may be able to get some opportunities.

After all, I have heard that these beasts that have come to the step of crossing the tribulation and turning into demons are full of treasures, which are of great benefit to cultivation.

The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, which is simple.

In the early morning of the sixteenth day of the third year of the cultivation calendar, at this time, the cultivation forces of the eight realms of overseas Korea had not yet set off, and Jiang Xiaobai's divine thought had just taken over the creation and awakened himself.

In the early morning, there was fog again in the mountains, and the fog and shadows were clouded, and the frost and dew met.

Wutong Mountain, the small courtyard is still there, and the scene is not changed.

It's just that the west cliff where you gradually listen to the flowing water, where Jiang Xiaobai practices and meditates all the year round, has an extra mound of clothes built of stones.

There is a wooden tablet in front of it, and there is a book on it—

"Brother Jiang Xiaobai's tomb!"

There is a jar of wine in front of the mound, and a few pink and white plum blossoms that are wet with cold dew and no longer bright are skewed into the cracks of the dry and hard stones.

Half a month ago, the old friends came to worship and sweep, which was their hanging thing.

A year has passed, and on the small grave, there are a few sparse grass tips, swaying in the mountain wind, a little bleak.

As soon as the winter wind and frost and dew meet, under the emptiness, there is loneliness.

Only the water under the cliff is endless, accompanied by day and night.

The small courtyard, the east wing, a mirror, a white candle, and a pearl fire in the core.

There is a woman sitting in front, silk plain clothes stained with her body, long hair and green silk shawl, above the tips of her hair, sandwiched by a wooden hairpin, the gap between the plain clothes and green silk, revealing the woman's white and good-looking neck, as if it can be broken by blowing.

The woman held a finger-length willow branch, the tip of which was charred black, and put it on the candle flame to perm and dye the beard, and then raised her hand, facing the mirror, and drawing on her eyebrows, with an indescribable elegance and lightness.

The jade is holding a willow painting Emei, and the person who paints the thrush in the mirror is the woman in white who has a lot of connections with Jiang Xiaobai and is called "teacher" by the entire Longhu Mountain.

Li Shuiyue, the princess of the ancient country!

This woman, whose identity is mysterious and has aroused infinite speculation and yearning from the cultivators, has left Longhu Mountain and has been here for more than half a month.

The world doesn't know what her identity is, who would have thought that thousands of years ago, she was a princess of a country, worshipping the heavenly master and Taoist ancestor Fan Changsheng as a teacher, and was buried underground for thousands of years. A thousand years later, because of Jiang Xiaobai's relationship, he was reborn in the world by chance.

Everything is like a dream.

“hu”

The corners of her lips opened slightly, and a subtle stream of air exhaled from her mouth, blowing out the white candle.

She put down the wicker, got up, put on a plain gauze robe, lined her slenderness, and opened the east door.

Then the door opened.

With a creak, the door opened, and the fog appeared.

The air is cold, and between breaths, there is white air coming out of the mouth and nose.

She crossed the threshold, raised her hand and brushed her sleeves, and suddenly, the fog in the courtyard was blown away by a gust of wind and disappeared cleanly, and the vista outside the courtyard could be seen more clearly.

At this moment, the door of the west wing opened.

Hatsune came out wearing a crewneck cardigan. ”

She looked at the slender plain clothes in front of the hall, and there was always a kind of trance, as if the other party seemed to be a person who came out of an ancient painting, and the temperament of her body had an indescribable ancient rhyme.

Every time I look at it, it smells like that.

"Sister. ”

But for a moment, a smile appeared on Hatsune's face and she shouted happily.

"Get up. ”

Shui Yue turned her head sideways, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

The sound is like listening to the spring, laughing at the willow spring breeze.

"Come, I'll comb your hair. ”

She whispered to Hatsune, as approachable as a big sister, the world especially remembered her domineering and mysterious suppression of cultivators from all walks of life a year ago, but they had never seen her gentle side.

Hatsune smiled and went back to the room to get a wooden comb.

After a while, the two women stood in front of the court, one combing the other's hair.

There was laughter and euphemism.

In the west wing, the fawn girl was shrunk under the quilt and was still sleeping.
