The old man sighed softly, looking at him with a little softer in his eyes, then shook his head helplessly, moved his steps to the nearby firewood between the firewood, picked up a few firewoods in his hand and said, "How can I have such a great ability to save the people of the world?" ”

Goudan slowly calmed down the excited look on his face, lowered his head and said, "I studied Taoism with my master at the age of nine, and it has been five or six years now. Now that the master has unfortunately been murdered, as an apprentice, I don't even know who the murderer is, I am ashamed of the master, and even more ashamed of the people of the world. ”

The old man smiled and nodded, and said slowly: "The donor's heart is for the people of the world, this is the luck of the world, why should you blame yourself here?" ”

Goudan said: "The predecessors don't know, if today, the demons are rampant and poison the people, although I have the heart, I am powerless." ”

The old man frowned and said, "At the moment of the catastrophe, a battle between humans and demons is inevitable, this is a certainty, and it is not something that one person can bear. ”

There was a hint of surprise on Goudan's face and he said, "Could it be that the seniors know the source of this catastrophe?" ”

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Heaven is evil, you can't violate it!" The dog's face changed, but he didn't speak, the old man glanced at him, and continued: "Do you know the Earth Demon Luo? ”

Dog Dan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

The old man pondered silently for a moment and said: "The Earth Demon Luo is the embodiment of the anger of all things, and it is said that it was suppressed by the Nine Heavens Xuannu as early as eight thousand years ago, and was eroded by ten thousand fires under the Nine Shadows Flame Pool in the underworld. Perhaps it was a moment of negligence on the part of the heavens, which allowed a trace of its remnants to escape from the Nine Shadows Flame Pool and descend into the mortal world, only in a few decades, he gradually formed a form while his magic power continued to grow, which caused the unprecedented human catastrophe now. ”

The dog listened quietly, and his face slowly calmed down and said, "Why didn't anyone stop it?" ”

The old man stroked his beard, sighed softly, and said, "We only know that the Earth Demon Luo was born in a place called the Dead Abyss. But the exact location of this undead abyss is not known at all. Besides, even if someone finds the Immortal Abyss, with the magic power of the Earth Demon Luo at this time, even if we fight with all the strength of our Zhengyi, it can only be a few more lives. ”

Goudan said: "Is there really no way to save it?" ”

The old man turned his head, looked at the dog with a deep face, and said, "Unless you find the Qiankun Sword in ancient legends." ”

Goudan paused for a moment and wondered, "Qiankun Sword? ”

The old man's face slowly showed bitterness and said, "Legend has it that the Qiankun Sword is the sword used by the Nine Heavens Xuannu when she sealed the Earth Demon Luo. When he said this, he sighed faintly, more like a contemptuous self-mockery: "The Qiankun Sword and the Nine Heavens Xuannu are both ancient legends, and it is not certain whether there is one in the world or not. ”

He shook his head, his voice trembling and desolate, and slowly, turned around, and walked away.

The dog was stunned in place, looking at the back of the old man who was gradually moving away, but he had no intention of staying, and then, the old man's voice came from a distance: "You go all the way along the back hall, and the person you are looking for is there." ”

Sure enough, after some hard work, Goudan finally found the back hall of the thatched house, an extremely remote path almost covered by thick vegetation. After about half an hour of walking along this path, a majestic mountain stands proudly in the sky. The dog held his breath and looked into the distance, there, where the white clouds were ethereal, there was a faint sound of cranes chirping in the sky echoing under this sky, surrounded by white clouds on the top of the mountain, and he didn't know the true face of the mountaintop.

Dogdan's heart fluttered, and it seemed that he couldn't bear it anymore, and his right hand turned into light and flew quickly towards the top of the mountain.

In front of a pavilion, the dog egg fell. Looking at the magnificent tall buildings in front of him, he also sighed secretly in his heart: "There is such a masterpiece in the world, it is really unheard of and unseen." ”

With full of doubts, he just took two steps forward, and greeted a little Taoist boy from the gate of the pavilion, but the dog also knew that it was the little Taoist who introduced himself to the thatched house a few days ago.

Soon, Xiao Daotong walked up to the dog and said, "Donor, please stay." ”

The dog opened his mouth and snorted in surprise.

Xiaodao Tong said: "The master said that the day you meet him has not yet arrived, so please ask the donor to go back first!" ”

The dog was stunned for a moment, and said with a slight anger on his face: "Go back? Where to go? ”

Xiaodao Tong said: "Go back where you come from." ”

Goudan snorted and said resolutely: "If I don't see the Lingqing Daoist, I won't go back." ”

Xiao Daotong smiled lightly and said, "The master has long expected that you will ask him to come out of the mountain with a dead face. ”

The dog's face was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Daotong said with a smug look on his face: "The master came back yesterday, but he doesn't want to see you now, just let me transfer this thing to you." As he spoke, he slowly took out a small orange package from his waist and handed it to the dog. Dogdanmian glanced at the package in his hand suspiciously, and the moment he opened it, his body was like an electric shock, and he could no longer move, and his eyes were fixed on it.

The pale yellow garment, with a few bits and pieces sewn on it, rested quietly in his trembling hands, the clothes she had worn sixteen years ago when she had last seen her mother. The black eyes, which were as deep as a clear spring under the clear blue sky, have now become a little heavy, and there is clearly a trace of sadness. It seemed that he was quiet in deep memories again, and he didn't even realize when Xiao Daotong started to turn around and leave.

Sixteen years passed in the blink of an eye.

Fragmented images of childhood slowly emerge in my mind like bubbles.

The light of the setting sun pulled his body out of a long, long shadow, reflected between the bluestone floor at his feet and the verdant jungle in the distance. He stood there dumbfounded, his face changing from pathos at first to calm, and finally a faint smile.

The spring breeze blew in his face, and the air was filled with blood, hitting him in the face like an arrow, galloping between the sea of clouds, although all the way was covered with corpses and desperate voices mixed with hissing and cracking lungs.

Yanglong Ancient Town was shrouded in a blood-like mist, and Goudan saw everything here in his eyes, and the uneasiness in his heart could be seen from the worry on his face. Then he quickened his pace.

"Mother!"

With a one-in-a-million hope, he couldn't wait to push open two doors and rush in. No one answered him. Aside from being covered in a thick layer of dust, the furnishings inside appear to be exactly the same as they were sixteen years ago.

Like childhood, I sat down in the chair that was most familiar and yet strange under the most window.

In a haze, those beautiful pictures appeared in front of his eyes again.

"Eat it, kid! There's still a lot of food! ”

"Ha, mother, the food you make is the best in the world."

"Child, look, today is your birthday, I specially made two more dishes, and ......"

"Mother, mother, do you look like a hero? Heroes of savior! ”

……

When night fell, Yanglong Ancient Town was shrouded in a gloomy and hazy night. The surroundings are quiet, and there is less of the usual sound of insects. Suddenly, a light and delicate voice came from afar: "Death to the demons!" ”。

The dog looked stunned, and without the slightest hesitation, he walked in the direction where the voice came from.

In the darkness, a young girl holding a fairy sword was fighting with a group of dried corpses. The terrifying corpse on the face, the slender black nails like five sharp blades that emitted a cold light, sped around the girl, leaving a faint black gas to slowly dissipate in the air as their nails swept through the air. However, looking at the girl's pale face again, there was hardly any blood. Seeing that there were people around him who were still alive, the dog was overjoyed, and his figure moved, and he came to the girl's side, counting his fingers everywhere, and several dried corpses around the girl immediately fell to the ground. Somehow, when the girl saw the dog's egg, the fairy sword in her hand reversed the situation, slashed at him with a sword, and said, "Go away!" Sorcerer. The dog only focused on the dried corpses, but he didn't expect the girl to suddenly attack him.

Although the dog was not stunned, while watching the sword about to be volleyed down, his right hand gently led forward towards the fairy sword cut off by the girl, and the fairy sword changed direction in the air one foot above his head, and then, the fairy sword was placed on the ground high in his chest, looking at the girl with a stunned face and sneering lightly. The fingers moved lightly, and the index finger moved lightly on the fairy sword. The girl frowned, only to feel a strong force coming from the fairy sword, and her arms were numb and almost threw the fairy sword in her hand. The girl's move was unsuccessful, she forcibly endured the severe pain, and secretly increased her strength, and at the moment when the fairy sword was about to hit the ground, his body flew up in the air, and the fairy sword reversed, and the sword was stabbed again.

Goudan's brows furrowed slightly, anger appeared on his face, and at the same time, he snorted coldly: "You woman is unreasonable. After speaking, the true qi in his body flowed, and a cyan light was faintly lingering between his hands.

"Bang!"

Like a kite with a broken string, the fairy sword in the girl's hand floated backwards in the air after being shaken away by the dog's egg. Where the girl was powerless and drifted away and was about to fall, the dried corpses below slowly gathered, their faces distorted and deformed, but their mouths made roaring sounds from time to time, and they seemed extremely excited about the food falling from the sky.

The girl closed her eyes tightly and let her body drift back, she didn't dare to imagine the bloody scenes after falling into the pile of dried corpses. If she had a sword in her hand now, she would rather slam the sword around her neck than have her body trampled to the ground by the bloodstained corpses below.
