Yang Meng's body tensed inexplicably, he strode forward, his steps did not pause at all, but his eyes were inexplicably a little evasive, he looked straight ahead, also looked at the jumping candle flame, nodded and muffled "um".

"Then why don't you save it? It's so young, it's only three months old, it's even smaller than me. Linlang's voice was hoarse, and her tone was full of sadness.

Yang Meng felt that his heart was suddenly blocked, he didn't know how to answer, he suddenly stopped after walking a few steps, and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I'm sorry, my duty is to protect the Holy Maiden." ”

"So you wouldn't show up when I wasn't in danger, would you?"

"Yes." After Yang Meng answered, both of them fell into a strange silence.

Linlang looked at the shadows of the two people next to the corridor expressionlessly, the black shadows kept beating with the red candle flames, which looked a little terrifying, but Linlang's whole heart floated far away.

She thought of the puppy named Sugar Gourd, and she didn't understand why she had to kill it. Is it because of following yourself? It's as if the people or animals around me are not free, and they can't come and go as they like others.

Linlang blinked, and suddenly said, "So you've been by my side for so many years, haven't you?" Sometimes I can see you, sometimes I can't, like a shadow, sometimes in the dark and sometimes in the light. ”

Yang Meng didn't refute, just nodded silently, his shadow on the wall was also nodding, he didn't know what to say and didn't know how to say, he followed the saint girl all these years, always watching her grow up in the dark, she was very well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and today she actually killed someone, which was really unexpected.

Yang Meng couldn't help but appear, he was worried about the safety of the holy woman, as for the three black-robed envoys next to Fang Cai......

They could have stopped it, but they seemed to have other intentions, they wanted to see the Holy Maiden die at the hands of the White Frost.

Yangmeng couldn't allow this kind of thing to happen, so he made a move, only to find out after making a move, in fact, the saint had grown up, and she could find a way to protect herself, this discovery made Yangmeng a little happy, but more sad.

"Let me go." Linlang said suddenly, the blood on her small soft body had been half dried up, but just now because of the loss of strength, her whole person was a little unable to use her strength.

Yang Meng was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "My subordinates will send you back to ......" Before the last word was finished, Linlang was about to break free from his embrace.

He was stunned for a moment, not reluctantly, he put down Linlang in his arms, and the small warm body left his embrace, Yangmeng's heart suddenly seemed to be a lot empty, that day he watched the sugar gourd being killed, he also thought that Linlang would be sad, but he didn't stand up.

His profession is to protect the Holy Maiden, not including protecting Ruolan or the Holy Maiden's dog, she will be sad and grow up like this, just now he also knew that the Demon Venerable Qingcang was there, he must be very satisfied with Linlang's performance.

That's what a saint should look like!

Yes, that's how she should be!

Yang Meng kept convincing herself in her heart, Linlang stood up expressionlessly, looking at the dim corner of the corridor, she said firmly and hoarsely: "Uncle Yangmeng, I'll just walk the road by myself in the future." ”

She stepped away from her little short legs, her small body was straight and straight, Yangmeng's throat suddenly seemed to be choked, and he couldn't say anything, he watched Linlang slowly walk through the corridor and disappear in his field of vision, and finally even the remaining shadow disappeared.

Yangmeng's heart was suddenly filled with a great frustration and loneliness, and he felt as if he had lost something at this moment, but he felt as if he had never grasped it.

……

Time flies, nine years of collision between the righteous path and the demon path has never stopped, the people in the demon path are good at hiding and have been inexplicably low-key in recent years, and the vicious/events that often occurred in the past few years have slowly disappeared in recent years.

The whole world presented an illusion of apparent peace, and in the past nine years, the status of Ethereal Mountain has jumped from the position of the four major families to the other three families.

It is mainly due to the fact that there is a rare genius in the Ethereal Mountain - Nie Qingge.

Nie Qingge is only in his thirties, and he was unusually promoted to the eleventh elder of Ethereal Mountain nine years ago, many people feel incomprehensible about this, but Nie Han, the great elder of Ethereal Mountain, always laughs and is silent when everyone talks about it, and every time he looks like a worldly master who "gives you an expression and you experience it yourself".

What's even more amazing is that the other nine elders didn't have any objections to Nie Qingge, and every time they talked about it, they had a secretive expression.

And Nie Qingge himself was very low-key a few years ago, but in the past few years, he has suddenly begun to emerge, and he went down the mountain with the five elders and six elders to destroy the demon path, and he actually showed a super powerful and ethereal sword qi that made people's jaws drop.

Yin Longteng, the city lord of Xuanwu City, who had seen the power of his person, was full of praise for him, and directly said that this person's strength had surpassed the original Yin Han, the first elder of the Ethereal Mountain, which was really smacking.

Yin Xuezhu, the first person of the younger generation of the Yin family, originally disdained when he heard this, but he was defeated by his sword in ten moves in the competition with Nie Qingge.

You must know that the Yin family is known for its defense of Xuanwu Divine Skills, and now it has been defeated in ten moves, which can't help but make people marvel!

What's even more amazing is that it is said that Yin Xuezhu expressed disbelief on the spot, pestered Nie Qingge to say that he would compete again, but he was defeated in three moves for the second time, and since then he has been convinced and poured into Nie Qingge's heroic posture, opening the long-term backward pursuit mode.

Many people say the previous statement conclusively, as if they saw it with their own eyes, and the latter paragraph does not know whether it is true or false, but many people are happy to believe that this is true, heroes and beauties are natural, this is undoubtedly a good story.

However, the good story is said to have ended here with Nie Qingge, and there are various rumors on the rivers and lakes that Nie Qingge is not close to women and avoids women like snakes and scorpions.

“…… It is said that although he is not a woman, he is a good man, and he is very infatuated and single-minded, but he treats his once young playmate Nie Qinghe differently, even if Nie Qinghe is paralyzed in bed with a strange poisonous mouth, crooked eyes, and oblique...... he will not give up" The sixth elder Nie Daidai smiled and leaned back, and the silver bell-like voice made the other elders can't help but look sideways.

Fifth Elder Nie Nanshan glared at her angrily, "Dai Dai, can't you be decent as an elder?" Qinghe has been suffering in Hantan all these years in order to suppress Zimu Gu, and there are still people outside who make up these uninteresting words to slander him, shouldn't you, as an elder, justify his name? I even buy these fun tabloids! ”

Nie Daidai didn't care at all, although after all these years, her appearance was still as delicate and fresh as a little girl of sixteen or seventeen, she turned her head to look at Nie Qingge and asked, "Eleventh brother, what do you think of what is written on this?" It's quite interesting to write, I flipped through it later, and the love-hate entanglement between you and Yin Xuezhu, are you interested? ”

Nie Qingge glanced at her and said lightly: "Sixth sister, don't make fun of me, those tabloid scripts are all fake, I have also seen the love and hatred between Nie Daidai and the other ten male elders in the Ethereal Mountain, if you are interested, you can buy it another day and show it to you." ”

Nie Daidai shrunk her neck and said, "I'm in my seventies, and my sons are all old, these things really break my old bones, don't mention it!" ”

Nie Qingge stopped talking, in this world, people with cultivation and roots can usually live to be two or three hundred years old, and if a woman with cultivation has the skills to maintain her youth, Nie Daidai is obviously the best among them.

Since he was ranked as an elder, Nie Qingge's status has also risen, and he can even call him a brother and sister with the other ten elders, which made him a little uncomfortable at first, but later found out that those elders were old-fashioned and serious on the surface, and they didn't have a decent appearance in private, so he didn't have the slightest psychological burden.

"Is Qinghe in Hantan? I'm going to see him. "Nie Qingge and a few people just came back from the mountain, and there was nothing to do, so they planned to go and see Nie Qinghe, although the child felt a little stupid and lacked heart, but he was sincere, he had been suffering and cultivating in Hantan all these years, Nie Qingge could have saved him directly that night without hiding his secrets, but he didn't, he felt a little guilty about Nie Qinghe in his heart, so he also took care of him all these years.

Nie Daidai squeezed her eyebrows when she heard this, her eyes were clearly looking at gossip, she coughed lightly and pretended to be serious: "Qinghe, this kid?" Cultivate on the edge of the cold pool! Now that he has more than five layers of cultivation of ethereal sword qi, the mother Gu in his body has also been suppressed and stabilized, and he has not recurred again this year, and you have been down the mountain for a year this time, go see him! ”

Nie Qingge turned his head to leave, and before he had gone far, he heard the gossip of many elders in the hall.

"Every time Qingge comes back, he goes to see Qinghe first, and he hasn't been close to women for so many years, you ......"

"If you want me to say that the rumors are not groundless, those of us who look at them feel bored, let alone others!"

"Tsk, Qingge is a talent, how many women have been provoked over the years, Yin Xuezhu is counted as one, in addition to Yin Xuezhu who went down the mountain this time, he also provoked the youngest daughter of the head of the Bibo Pavilion Yan family, tsk!" Nie Daidai's voice was full of gossip, and after satisfying everyone's appetite, she continued: "But Qingge is disdainful of them, we have a clear river in the ethereal mountain!" ”

"If Qingge and Qinghe ...... Alas! I'm not an old antique as a parent, as long as the child wants to, I don't have anything to say, I have to work hard with Qinghe's mother to see if I can have another one, otherwise I'm afraid I'm going to die......"

Fifth Elder Nie Nanshan's long sigh reached Nie Qingge's ears, he almost fell down while walking on the ground, these people's thoughts were simply too dangerous!

He walked alone to the back mountain, and the long mossy staircase led to the depths of the clouds, the air of the ethereal mountain was very fresh, and a few bird calls could be heard from the empty mountain.

Nie Qingge walked in the mountains in dark green clothes, and his whole person was like a tall pine tree, and sure enough, it was too early to say that the great elder and the snow pressed the dwarf pine.

Going up the long stone steps, it slowly became cold, and the tips of Nie Qingge's black hair were also wet with dew, although it was cold here, it had no effect on him.

At the end of the stairs was a large man-made terrace, like a small square, in front of which was covered with clouds and mist, and in the humidity and mist was a smooth stone wall, and below the stone wall was a small natural cave that could only be passed by two slender adults, and only one person if it was fatter.
