In the cold winter season, the mountains and rivers are covered in silver, and the calm lake is covered with thick layers of ice, and the catkins-like snow slams heavily on the lake.

On the peak of the bamboo forest, in a remote and hidden cave, the thinly clothed Le Zhengjiao sat quietly by the fire, and the girl he had worked so hard to save was still unconscious.

The north wind rose, and the girl's coughing followed, and Le Zhengjiao hurriedly picked up the cloak and covered her, although it was stained with blood, it did not prevent it from the cold.

Against the backdrop of red, the girl's already good face is even more charming, and because of the few light scars on her face, she looks a little less energetic.

After a long time, the girl, who gradually recovered her consciousness, sighed lightly: "I feel deeply guilty for dragging my proud son to suffer with me. ”

After a worry-free night, Le Zhengjiao, who had rekindled hope, shook his head again and again: "We will be fine! ”

Hearing this, the girl turned her head violently: "Are you a fool? Now, the person you should protect the most is yourself! ”

After a period of silence, Le Zhengjiao dared to look at the girl, "You are seriously injured, and someone must be by your side to protect you." ”

The girl's right hand was a dagger that shimmered with golden light, and her shoulders, chest, waist, abdomen, back, and thighs were covered with scars from the dagger's gift.

Every scar looks shocking.

While the girl was unconscious, Le Zhengjiao tried several times to remove the short sword from her hand. Just because the girl held it too tightly, Le Zhengjiao didn't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting her, so she had to fail.

Now seeing that there is only this thing in her eyes, she can't help but "chuckle" in her heart, and the nervousness immediately spreads throughout her body.

The name of this short sword is "Sharpening Spirit", and no one knows its origin, only that it should not be easily touched.

Once the flesh and blood of a person is cut, it will weaken the cultivation and spiritual power of the immortal cultivator. If it is inserted into the heart, not only will the life's gains dissipate in turn, but the immortal cultivator will also face the bitter fruit of being scattered and never entering reincarnation, and the past and present lives will be vain.

For hundreds of years, without exception, the hundred schools of Xuanmen have avoided it, and no one has dared to hold it in their hands like a girl.

As time passed, the girl unexpectedly moved her hand down, and as soon as her delicate skin touched the sword, strings of blood began to drip downward.

With a "popping" sound, it seeped into the dirt little by little.

Le Zheng panicked in fright, and unconsciously stretched out his hand to her: "Yiyi, be good...... Put it down and don't do anything stupid. ”

The girl didn't care about the other party's advice, but lifted her cloak and looked at her blood-soaked body, she knew that Le Zhengjiao must have consumed a lot of spiritual power in order to save her.

secretly said in his heart: "Now I am like a mouse that everyone shouts and beats, and the hundred schools of Xuanmen will not let me go." I can't live, but Jiao'er can't be affected by me. ”

Thinking of this, the girl slowly closed her eyes.

At the same time, Le Zhengjiao quietly raised his arm and quickly slashed towards the hole, and the dart hidden in his sleeve popped out in an instant, and the weapon that should have fallen on the "enemy" was split into pieces by the blue light hoopoe sword and turned into scrap metal.

The sound of footsteps approached from the entrance of the cave, and it was not until he saw the face of the person that Le Zhengjiao settled down.

This person is Zhou Sumo, the master of the hoopoe sword, and he is also the girl's lover.

Le Zhengjiao was about to speak, a panicked look appeared on Zhou Sumo's face, and the gentle and restrained call ended, he dared to squat down carefully beside the girl, and tears gushed out in an instant.

An irresistible pain came from the girl's chest, and the sword body of the sword was completely submerged into the heart, and the hand holding the sword lost strength at that moment.

The girl took off a hairpin from her head and stuffed it into Zhou Sumo's hand, trying to support her body and trying to stand up, but she vomited a large pool of blood due to the wound, and the whole person became weaker and weaker.

Blood splashed on Zhou Sumo's clothes and face, showing a distressed look in the corners of his eyes, and he wanted to touch the other party's cheeks, but the girl tried her last strength to avoid him: "Please don't touch me." ”

After withdrawing his hand and sighing lightly, Zhou Sumo asked expressionlessly, "Do you really want to live so much?"

The girl's breath became weaker and weaker, but her eyes revealed perseverance: "The soul is scattered, it is my only wish." ”

Forcibly holding back the tears that were about to come out, Zhou Sumo endured his grief and stretched out his hand to the girl again: "You are ...... Give me ......"

The tired girl let the tears flow, moved her lips and did not make a sound, and all the regrets and regrets in this life were swallowed back.

The light in front of her was fading little by little, and she was ready for the darkness.

Those who are stabbed in the heart by the slashing spirit will have their cultivation and spiritual power dissipate very quickly. A girl who has fulfilled her expectations in the world will not have to suffer in the world for the rest of her life, which is a relief.

The girl's body became more and more transparent, and soon turned into a golden light and disappeared. Only one golden pill remained in the air, taking the place of its owner to say its final goodbye to Hongchen.

With a "clang", the cutting spirit fell at Zhou Sumo's feet.

As early as when the girl stabbed her heart with a sword, Le Zhengjiao's whole person became numb, and it wasn't until Zhou Sumo's miserable cry sounded that he was pulled back into reality.

At this time, Le Zhengjiao noticed Zhou Sumo, who was covered with trauma.

In addition to this cave in the poisonous mist, there are heavy troops set up by the hundred schools of Xuanmen around Zhulin Peak. In order to see the person in his heart, he will come by stepping on the corpse.

If he can come here, he must have killed all the people who stand in his way, and it is not unusual for him to be injured during the fight.

Just when Le Zhengjiao didn't know how to say comforting words, Zhou Sumo decisively held Jin Dan in his hands.

Le Zhengjiao, who endured his grief, carefully picked up the shaved spirit and put it in his sleeve, and then slowly walked towards him, saying: "Jin Dan is out of the body, which means that this person's life has come to an end. ”

Zhou Sumo glanced down at the hairpin, which was the object of love between the two, carrying countless beautiful things in the past.

"According to common sense, there is no afterlife for those who are stabbed in the heart by a slashing spirit. But I know that there is an ancient secret technique that allows people who have been distraught to be reincarnated in the womb. ”

Le Zhengjiao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

Brother for many years, he knows what Zhou Sumo thinks in his heart, and he knows that he can't persuade him to change his mind, so he can only do his best to remind him.

"Yes. But just as a decoction requires a medicinal guide, in order to perform this secret technique, one needs to have a person who has cultivated to a very high level and voluntarily dedicate his body to be a medium for reincarnation and soul transcendence. Whether it succeeds or not, the spirit of the devotee will have nowhere to rest, and over time, that person will be transformed into a desolate soul...... Have you figured it out?"

"I owe Yiyi, I must pay it back! I can only pay her back if she is alive. Zhou Sumo's eyes were full of unswervingness.

Le Zhengjiao held his hand with the last glimmer of hope, and something crystal gradually appeared in his eyes.

"Yiyi is my dear friend, and I hope that she will have a chance to be reincarnated. But you and I are also good brothers who live and die together, and I don't want you to turn into a desolate soul because of a secret technique with an unknown result.

I've lost a friend, and I really can't afford to lose you. If you have any chance, what will you pay for it?"

Zhou Sumo shook him tighter with his backhand: "Jiao'er, I am very grateful that you have always treated me and Yiyi with sincerity, so I only trust you." Only you can give the two of us a chance to start over. ”

Tears rolled down from Le Zhengjiao's eyes, "Since Momo insists on this, follow me back to the Netherworld Demon Palace!"

Hearing this, Zhou Sumo clapped his palms excitedly: "I knew that you would definitely help me." ”

Le Zhengjiao said frankly: "Your body will become a waste due to secret arts, and my sister's dowry just has a bronze mirror for the spirit to inhabit, which is just right for you." Until the Bronze Mirror runs out of energy, I will do my best to find a new body for you. ”

Hope was in front of him, and Zhou Sumo, who couldn't hide his excitement, couldn't help but wipe his tears: "In this way, there is only one mother left who can make Yiyi reborn." ”

After thinking for a moment, Le Zheng raised his head arrogantly: "My sister gave birth to two sons in a row, but she lacks a daughter. But there is one thing, my sister's daughter...... is also the daughter of the Demon Emperor Su Yanlin. ”

Zhou Sumo smiled: "With a good uncle like you by her side, it doesn't matter whose daughter she is." ”

Pursing his lips, Le Zhengjiao slowly lowered his eyelids: "Everyone knows that my brother-in-law is the most jealous of me, how can he allow me to accompany his daughter?"

After hearing this, Zhou Sumo only said: "Three days later, I will take Yiyi's Jin Dan to meet you at the gate of the Demon Palace." ”

After separating from Le Zhengjiao, he was very calm in his heart, because he knew that his friend would never let him down.

To this day, his last wish is to kowtow to his master and repay him for his years of nurturing.

In order to see his beloved, Zhou Sumo, who killed the red-eyed man, no longer remembered how much blood the hoopoe sword had stained, and those people would not let him go easily, after all, they would not let go of even a girl.

Only by placing his body in front of the Xuanmen Hundred Schools, will they not embarrass the masters. Dedicating oneself to being a soul crossing medium can not only fulfill the afterlife of the two, but also save the teacher from trouble.

Kill two birds with one stone, a good deal.

Before seeing Master, there was another person who had to be killed.

On the way, Zhou Sumo's face changed abruptly, and then he held the hoopoe tighter: "When I avenge Yiyi, the only concern in this life is Jiao'er." He treats me so well, I should help him once. A brother-in-law who has made him suffer a lot of grievances, it is better not to. ”

At the same time, another idea with a selfish element immediately came to his mind: "If Yiyi is born without a father after reincarnation, he will be an uncle...... Isn't it possible to take care of the orphaned and widowed sister and niece?"

Before he knew it, his eyes were getting deeper.

With everything in place, he can wait for the next life—to be reunited with his Yiyi.
