"That voice, it seems like I've heard it somewhere..."

Jian Ying looked into the distance and muttered to himself, thought for a long time, and walked towards the back mountain.

The bright moonlight sprinkled like nectar on the sleeping earth, and on the top of the cliff, a male figure could be faintly seen, the hazy moonlight obscured the face, and the wind blew the long flowing hair to drive the robe, making it look like a fairy wind bone.

With a rapid gasp, the man slowly turned around.

Facing the angry young man in front of him, although the man had doubts in his heart, he did not squeak.

After the fatigue eased a little, Jian Ying remembered what happened before, couldn't help frowning, and asked in a deep voice, "You shouldn't be a villager around here, right?"

There was no reply, the man just stared into the dark eyes of the sword shadow, as if looking for something.

"I really didn't expect that in such a remote place, I could meet a spiritual cultivator..."

With that, the man sighed lightly for some reason, looking a little disappointed.

"It's just that the aura surging in your body, I seem to have seen it somewhere..."

The vicissitudes of life in the words do not know how many years have passed, as if they can make the soul of the interlocutor tremble.

Hearing this, although Jian Ying's heart froze, he still pretended to be calm and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm really not different from ordinary people." ”

Although the puzzled expression and flat tone were in place, the wandering gaze and trembling hands still betrayed the impetuousness and uneasiness in his heart.

"Good opportunity..."

Looking at the man in front of him who was deep in thought, the apprehensive sword shadow could no longer calm down, and he moved his steps.

"I'm sorry to bother you to enjoy the moon..."

The moment he turned around, the sword shadow galloped in front of the man with a nimble sidewalk, and reached out with his white palm.

"Osteopathy!"

In an instant, a few wisps of gray flame spilled out from his palm, making the night even deeper.

"Whew!"

When he was about to burn the man in front of him, he heard a violent eagle roar suddenly sound!

Instantly, several bursts of blades as sharp as swords annihilated the flames, leaving countless cuts on the sword shadow's body at the same time.

"Uh..."

The sword shadow that fell to the ground snorted, and in a short time, blood soaked through his clothes.

But even so, the sword shadow still stubbornly raised his head, but there was only panic in his eyes.

At the same time, the wind once again fluctuated strongly, and countless wind blades were formed in the air in an instant, if such a strong wind attack fell again, I am afraid that the unstoppable sword shadow would die!

Seeing this, the white-robed man waved his sleeves, and the fierce and invincible wind attack had collapsed in an instant.

Walking slowly towards the young man, who was lying in a pool of blood, the man bent down and grabbed his hand.

Maybe it was too much blood loss or too much fright, but Sword Shadow didn't resist and struggle.

With a soft aura covering the sword shadow's body, the shocking wounds from before were now recovering sharply at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a long time, the sword shadow stood up tremblingly, and he looked extremely puzzled with a puzzled face.

"Why, why save someone who wants to kill you..."

"Why..."

After a slight groan, the man suddenly smiled, looking a little unfathomable, but there was undisguised mockery in his eyes.

"Well, you can understand it as a person's pity when facing a dying rat..."The afterglow swept over the gradually gloomy face, and the man raised his fist and tapped his palm and added, "By the way, I quite like to see the weak put on a ridiculous appearance that dares to be angry and dare not speak, which seems to be a reason to save you..."

Unbearable to this unabated sarcasm, the sword shadow turned cold, "You!"

"Because, I was scared..."

The calm voice was like autumn water, extinguishing the blazing flame in the sword shadow's heart, and I saw that the man changed his frivolous appearance, and the original mocking eyes gradually became complicated.

"Because it's hard to believe that with the constitution of a human being, it can still survive tenaciously in a state where the internal organs are about to be burned..."

"I want to know by what faith you persevere, and that is the reason for saving you. ”

The stirring words still echoed in his ears, and with a sporadic light rain, the sword shadow looked up at the sky, letting the rain wet his cheeks.

I don't know how long it took, this time was so long in Jian Ying's heart, and the helplessness in his eyes was heartbreaking.

He seemed to be whispering, as if he were talking to himself......

"When I was seven years old, this strange energy in my body suddenly exploded. ”

"That gray flame kept leaking out of me, eating away at my otherwise healthy body..."

A bitter smile appeared on his face, and the depths of Sword Shadow's dark eyes were filled with hatred and despair.

"I kept crying, but the tearing pain seemed to be deepened. ”

The mother, who had heard the news, was frightened and slapped her hand without thinking much about it. ”

"But, the moment it touched my body, the flames eroded her body..."

"In the end, I could only watch my mother, who loved me the most, be killed by this invisible force..."

"Hey, do you know what that feels like?"

The smile faded, and the despair hidden in the eyes of the sword shadow also turned into an invisible, dark power.

"Not long after the incident, my father left the village under the guise of seeking a cure for my illness. ”

"Hehe, eight years have passed in the blink of an eye, but there is no news of him..."

"My family, my happiness, have been ruined by this invisible force, and even my soul seems to be tightly bound by that invisible chain, so that until now, I can't break free..."

"After that incident, the villagers, who already thought our family was weird, became more alienated from me..."

"What did I do wrong..."

The words fell and bit his lip lightly, looking at the man in front of him, Jian Ying suddenly wanted to cry.

"Actually, I also know that what they are afraid of is just this unknown terrible force, but this kind of pain in my heart was left to me when I was young..."

"I, I, woo..."

The secret hidden deep in the heart, like the tears that welled up from the eyes, released all the pain and resentment.

"Maybe this is no longer the case, and I have gradually felt the sympathy of the villagers. ”

"They began to treat me as a normal child, but the loneliness and pain in my heart only increased..."

"In comparison, the burning pain in my body is not worth mentioning at all, I don't know how long my life will last, and I don't know when this thing in my body will explode again one day, but during the time I am alive, I will protect the most important person in my life, even if it is only for a short moment!"

After listening to what the sword shadow said, the man's expression froze, and then, he smiled and shouted to the sky, "Mingyue, come back." ”

As if in an instant, a blood-red eagle landed lightly on the man's shoulder, and from time to time there was a piercing sound like grinding teeth in his beak.

"This world is far from as simple as you imagined, are you interested in hearing about it?"

Looking at the middle-aged man with a kind face, Jian Ying seemed to think of his father who had long since disappeared, and couldn't help but nod lightly.

"There are thousands of peaks in the mountains, there are thousands of red flowers, there is a special group of people in this world who are beyond the ordinary physique, people call them spiritual cultivators, and the most basic thing as a spiritual cultivator is to have spiritual roots in the body. ”

"The spiritual root can give birth to spiritual energy, and spiritual energy can make spiritual cultivators much stronger than ordinary people, both physically and spiritually, and their lifespan is far beyond that of ordinary people, just like you. ”

"Not only that, but Reiki can also use all kinds of spiritual skills according to the exercises, just like the aggressive attack you used before, which is one of the thousands of spiritual skills. ”

"There are also many types of psionic skills, such as the most basic offensive type, defensive type. ”

"However, just as a person gets tired, if the aura is consumed too much, the cultivator will also be in trouble. ”

"During this period, it is very likely that they will lose their mobility, and even worse, they may die of overdraft. ”

"However, although it is easy to become a spiritual cultivator, it is difficult to transform into a strong one, looking at the world, only by personal experience and polishing, and finally becoming a strong person, there are very few people, so in major countries, small countries, and even some towns, there will be institutions or academies that cultivate spiritual cultivators. ”

"It's ridiculous to say, it's like a circle, most cultivators who dream of becoming strong will rush to enter a well-known academy and use it to practice powerful exercises, hoping to become famous one day in the future. ”

"But when the beautiful fantasy encounters the cruel reality, they will gradually find that entering the so-called academy is like being chained with invisible shackles, forever guarding the country..."

"Oh no, it's not so much a guard, but a cannon fodder who was the first to arrive on the battlefield during the war. ”

"Of course, there are also some talented and talented people who leave the academy and end up spreading their wings..."

At this point, the man paused slightly, and then added, "Just as human beings grow over time, the aura will also change after reaching a certain limit, which is the so-called spiritual period, also known as the level. ”

There are eight types of spiritual periods, namely, the first spirit, the physical spirit, the spirit body, the spirit form, the spirit crystal, the spirit spirit, the spirit heart, and the ethereal spirit.

Legend has it that after reaching the ethereal realm, you can form the power of bloodline.

This is a kind of inheritance power that can be continued, and it is said that a single drop of blood can transform an inferior spiritual root into a superior one.

Although many people have pursued this all their lives, only a few people have really succeeded.

Each spiritual period is divided into three stages, and breaking through the bottleneck can obtain more powerful power than before, even if it is the same spiritual skill, in the case of different spiritual levels, the power used will naturally be different.

"Isn't it ironic that this powerful and unstable force scattered everywhere can turn humans into beasts in human skin. Moving his gaze to the palm of his hand, the sneering sword shadow had a cold face.

"They can kill each other for the sake of territory, money, and other factors, and they can also be excluded or even killed because of this power that is not understood and recognized..."

The afterglow swept over the face full of self-deprecation, and the man already had a general understanding of this unknown young man in his heart. After pondering for a long time, he spoke, "The problem you are talking about is indeed there, and many of the previous wars have been caused by this. ”

"Fortunately, these problems have been solved in recent years. ”

"Because spiritual cultivators also have families, and it is inevitable that there will be ordinary people in the family, whenever the smoke of gunfire and war breaks out, and many innocent people are persecuted, after that, endless hatred will be aroused in the hearts of the survivors..."

In order to prevent this calamity and suffering from spreading, the leaders of the seven great powers have come up with a number of rules after deliberation, the most important of which is that spiritual cultivators must not harm ordinary people. “

When this was first implemented, it was opposed by many spiritual practitioners in small countries and towns that had suffered from war persecution. ”

"After all, in an age of endless suffering and despair, it was difficult to stop the chaos. ”

"The killing continues, and grief and anguish spread endlessly in every little corner. ”

"However, in order for the people of all countries to be able to live in peace, the major powers took the lead in establishing this regulation by taking action to bring all the cultivators who violated the law to the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows for adjudication..."

"There are rivers of blood, and many people have died here with a vicious curse, and it has become a morgue. ”

"Maybe it was the killing that played a role, and those exiled slaves who were shuttling in a foreign land finally acquiesced to all the rules..."

"Subsequently, the seven major countries were afraid that the war would involve their own interests and people, so they calmly reached an agreement in the years when they could draw their swords against each other without saying a word..."

The man's eyes showed endless disgust and anger, but after a series of complex emotions flashed, they finally turned into endless lamentations.

After a long time, his eyes had already turned calm, and his voice had become hoarse.

"This agreement completely relieved the major powers of worry, but it has become a permanent nightmare for countless small countries and villages..."

"Spring goes to autumn, the years do not stop, and the long war has also exhausted the seven powers. ”

"At the beginning, the Snow Country, which is now the ruler of the entire northern half of the territory, the founder Snow Shadow has always advocated peace, and his disciple Yin Fengxue has also successfully prevented the war between the Poison Country and the Earth Country in the Nine Shadows, which has made the turmoil slightly better. ”

Taking this as an opportunity, the other two countries all had the intention of making peace with the war, and although the eastern military countries did not express any opinions, they also acquiesced. ”

"As for the poisonous country in the northwest, the country lord poison heaven, but because of the battle of Baibaolin, he no longer has the strength to start a war. ”

At that time, only the country of blood in the southwest was still unforgiving and stirring up trouble. ”

However, no matter how strong a country is, it is difficult to shake the overall situation, although it is unwilling, but the blood eagle also had to compromise, and finally ended the tragic war that has been unknown for many years, and at the same time signed a peace agreement, and now, the people of the world are finally living a peaceful and peaceful life. ”

Looking at the man with a vicissitudes of life in front of him, Jian Ying couldn't help but bow his head and fall into deep thought, and the breeze seemed to awaken the young man's lonely heart.

"I've never found myself so talkative... By the way, I haven't known your name yet. ”

Soon after, the man broke the long silence.

"Well, my name is Sword Shadow. ”

After whispering a few times, the man smiled and said, "It's really good..."

Halfway through the words, I saw that the man's face suddenly stiffened, and he quickly got up and looked at the thunder and lightning that were constantly intertwining not far away, and his eyes gradually became cold.

After a glance, looking at the sword shadow that shrank into a ball and kept trembling, the man's face softened slightly.

"I have some urgent things to do, and as for the rest, I'll see you in the future. ”

"In this world, there are often many unexpected things happening, and maybe one wrong decision can ruin the whole life..."

Stopping at this, the anxious man thought that there was something unspeakable.

On the side, as if he was still immersed in the man's cold eyes and couldn't extricate himself, the sword shadow did not respond.

"Never leave this place if you can..."

The ethereal voice became more and more slight, and at this time, the man had long since disappeared, leaving only a bright moon and a gust of wind, everything was so natural.

After a long time, Jian Ying finally came to his senses, and after swallowing a few more mouthfuls of saliva, he looked around timidly, and then turned to leave.

"False name, that kid is not an ordinary person, I've never seen you do this to anyone. ”

The voice sounded in a low voice, but the owner of the voice could not be found.

Hearing this, the man stopped, his eyes became a little foggy, as if he remembered the dusty past like a thin ice memory......

Inside the cave......

"Hmm..."

Stretching her waist and rubbing her eyes, Ling Xue looked at the clothes covered by her body, and couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart.

Quietly looking at the young man who was leaning against the wall and falling asleep, Ling Xue's eyes gradually became gentle.

"Bump", the lowered little head touched the wall, and Wang Shuang, who suddenly woke up, looked at Ling Xue who covered her mouth and snickered, and knew that it was her ghost again.

"Don't sleep, Brother Sword Shadow, hasn't he come back yet?"

Ling Xue scolded with a smile.

"You scared me to death, I shouldn't have come back yet, I don't know how long I slept..."

"Also, I don't know who slept like a piglet just now, and drooled. ”

"What?!"

Stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth, but found that there was no saliva, and for a while, Ling Xue's little head, which was blushing with a blushing face, also lowered.

After not hearing the sound for a long time, Ling Xue, who raised her head, looked at Wang Shuang, who was shivering in the cold wind, still smiling stupidly, and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.

"What should I do if I catch a cold after being so cold for a while, it's really annoying!"

Hurriedly took off the clothes on his body, and Ling Xue, who quickly helped Wang Shuang put them on, was still complaining.

"How long has it been here, it's almost dawn, why haven't you seen Brother Sword Shadow come back?!"

As soon as the words changed, Ling Xue, who remembered that the sword shadow had not returned, screamed in surprise.

"Wait a little bit. ”

In this regard, Wang Shuang could only comfort Ling Xue temporarily, but the worry in his eyes made Ling Xue even more uneasy.

"Who's out there!"

Suddenly, Wang Shuang shouted vigilantly staring at the outside of the cave.

"It's me, I thought you were all asleep, but I didn't expect you to be awake. ”

"Brother Sword Shadow, we were worried about you to death, we thought we thought, we thought..."

Seeing that familiar figure, Ling Xue hurriedly ran to the sword shadow's side, her eyes already reddened.

"Why are your clothes torn like this, why are there so many blood stains?!"

Noticing that there were a large amount of dried blood stains on the sword shadow's tattered clothes, Wang Shuang couldn't help but exclaim.

Ling Xue also sensed that the sword shadow's aura was a little disordered, and couldn't help but cry as she touched the blood stains on her clothes.

Bowing down and patting Ling Xue's shoulder gently, Sword Shadow smiled and said, "Don't worry, just now I slipped under my feet and accidentally rolled down the back mountain to fall into this appearance, you see I'm not back now." ”

"Really, really?"

Raising her little face full of tears, Ling Xue sobbed.

"Hey~ You still don't believe it, could it be that the beast torn my clothes? If you don't eat me sooner, let's sleep for a while. ”

With that, he got up and walked to the entrance to the cave and sat down, saying no more.

It seemed that they hadn't slept well just now, maybe they were sleepy again, Ling Xue and Wang Shuang fell asleep again.

The moonlight is faint, and everything is so peaceful......
