The sea of clouds, the sunrise, the light of the Buddha, and the holy lamp are the four wonders of the golden summit of Emei, which have been fascinated and fascinated by the world since ancient times.

Bai Fan sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, the morning glow was covered with red clouds, Ling Xuan resisted the wind, and people seemed to be sitting on the clouds.

Guo Xiang beside her is still graceful, but the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the vicissitudes that can't be concealed in her expression have made her lose her former agility and cunning.

Piao Xi stood quietly behind the two of them, she was also more than fifty years old, nearly sixty years old, compared to Guo Xiang, she was more and more bright and moving, peerless, in addition to the reason for cultivating the 'Eight Desolations and Six Together', she was in a peaceful mood, and no resentment and sorrow was the more important reason.

A little farther behind the three of them, a middle-aged master and two little disciples, a man and a woman, looked at the backs of the three respectfully, not daring to make a sound, and even breathing slowly.

'When we first met at Fengling Ferry, we saw Yang Guo for life', this master is Guo Xiang's disciple 'Fengling Shitai', and the other two are self-evident, they are the future extermination master and Gu Hongzi, at this time, the two are still just children, and they have not yet been involved in the disputes in the rivers and lakes, in front of Bai Fan today, they are just two junior disciples with some origins.

Time flies, years precipitate, Bai Fan concentrates on cultivation, looks down on spring and autumn, flowers bloom and fall, flowers fall and bloom. Outside of the bamboo forest on the Emei side, the only thing that still worries him is Lin Si, a one-day master and apprentice, a lifelong father and son, for him, he never gets emotional easily, and he never breaks off his feelings easily.

I don't know how long it took, the morning sun jumped slightly, dragging a fleeting tail light, turning into a round red sun embedded in the sky, Bai Fan exhaled a breath of turbid air at the same time, the sword finger moved slightly, and a golden sword qi shot out, passing through the morning glow, and disappeared into the sea of clouds.

Guo Xiang said with a smile: "Congratulations to Uncle Shi, ten years of sharpening a sword, and today it will finally be sheathed." ”

Bai Fan also smiled and said: "It is indeed very difficult, I thought that according to the swordsmanship of the 'Weak Water Sword' with a slight modification, with the Jiuyang True Qi Imperial Envoy, the Qi can create the corresponding 'Tianyang Sword', how do you know that it is easy to know and difficult to do, many of which are hindered, it took ten years to get through." ”

Guo Xiang already knew that he knew Jiuyang Divine Skills, although she didn't know where he learned it, but she really admired the martial arts of her master, and there seemed to be no martial arts in the world that he didn't know. Since coming to Mount Emei to become a monk, he has been a neighbor for 30 years, and I have seen his martial arts become more and more unfathomable, but his appearance has not changed at all, and it seems that he has stopped when he reaches age.

She frowned, and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, Fengling and they can be regarded as your apprentices, but you have never instructed them in a single move, so it is better to teach them this 'Tianyang Sword' and let them see your divine skills." ”

Bai Fan said with a smile: "Only you dare to say this, but they can't learn the 'Tianyang Sword', this sword technique and the 'Weak Water Sword' are mutually reinforcing, cultivating this sword will produce extremely powerful fire poison, and it must be neutralized by the cold generated by cultivating the Weak Water Sword, so that they can be worry-free, those who practice a sword alone have death or life, but it is not suitable for them." ”

He pondered for a moment and said: "Back then, the 'Golden Wheel Dharma King' sincerely wanted to accept you as an apprentice, but you didn't agree, and then he lived in seclusion with me for more than 20 years, and he didn't find a successor. ”

Guo Xiang's eyes flickered, remembered the old things, nodded and said, "That's fine, there is Uncle Lao." She actually didn't care about Bai Fan's martial arts in her heart, but she knew that she had been trapped by love all her life, and she had hurt her mind and body, and she had recently felt that the time was approaching, so she wanted to find a backer for Fengling and them, so she deliberately said this to let the master have more affection for them.

What Bai Fan thought in his heart was, "Gu Hongzi, if you practice the 'Dragon Elephant Panruo Gong', in the future, you will be forced by Yang Xiao to the point that you can't even pull out the Heavenly Sword, and you will be angry to death, then you deserve to die." ”

After sunrise, Piao Fu accompanied Bai Fan back to the bamboo forest, and after a while, a white pigeon stopped on the windowsill, she took off the bamboo tube on her feet, took out the note and looked at it for a while, and her brows suddenly wrinkled.

She moved to the desk, picked up the pen and muttered for a long time, wrote down the word 'clear', and stuffed it back into the bamboo tube.

Watching the white dove go away, Piao Fu stood in front of the windowsill, remembering the scene of practicing swords when he was a child a long time ago, and there was a trace of temporary panic in his heart.

The white dove left Mount Emei, traveled thousands of miles, and flew towards the east.

More than ten days later, in the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, the carrier pigeon stopped on an old beggar who was lazily basking in the sun.

He opened the secret letter and looked at it, suddenly lost his mind, stood for a long time, and finally sighed, rubbed his hands and turned the letter into powder, coughed tremblingly, and after a long time stopped, picked up a bamboo pole more than four feet long on the ground and walked out.

After wandering around the city aimlessly for a while, it became dark, and he turned into a secluded alley, where there were already four men in black waiting, and he nodded, and said, "You guard the front and rear entrances, and I will go in by myself." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey," said one of the men in black, who seemed to be the leader.

The beggar turned into the courtyard next to him, and through the back garden, he came to the master's bedroom like a ghost, and he seemed very familiar.

He stood in front of the door for a moment with a complicated expression, then coughed, and after three long and three short six sounds, he quietly leaned against an osmanthus tree in the courtyard.

Suddenly, an old man in his fifties and sixties walked out of the room, with a stiff smile on his face and said, "Big brother, you are here, why don't you say hello in advance, is it important to come here so late?" ”

The old beggar looked at him and sighed, "Third child, you know why I came this time. ”

The smile on the old man's face disappeared, and he said coldly: "I really can't hide anything from you, what did she say?" ”

"Clear," the old beggar spat out these two words.

"Hehe, is it for me alone, or for my whole family?"

The old beggar shook his head and said, "There are only these two words, and I don't know what she means, but I decided to kill by mistake rather than let go." ”

The old man's face showed hatred, and he said fiercely: "Lao Tianshan, we are brothers who grew up together, do you have to do such a desperate job?" ”

The old beggar was unmoved, and said lightly: "I used to be called Lao Shan, your name is Xiao Li, and then she single-handedly founded the East Palace hidden in the rivers and lakes, after that, my name is Lao Tianshan, your name is Xiao Xuanli, you should understand, from that moment on, there is an extra shackle on your head and me, some things can never be done, but you did it, so no one else is to blame." What she doesn't want to do, I'll do it for her. ”

The old man sneered: "Lao Tianshan, you have thought about her all your life and done your best for her, but has she ever had the slightest affection for you?" Don't you feel unwilling? ”

The old beggar said calmly: "If I hadn't met her and Shizun, I might have died of hunger and cold in my life, maybe I would have died of military disasters, and maybe I would be lucky enough to be a mountain man for a dull life." It was my own choice to join the East Palace and become the Celestial Shadow, so I learned a peerless martial art and saw the outside world of flowers, I have never regretted it, this life is enough. And you, who also chose yourself, compared to me, an old man called Huazi, you sit high in the court, with fine clothes and food, what else is not satisfied? was so mad that he denounced the senior brother, you tell me, who gave you such courage? ”

"Master? Big brother? The old man sneered: "It's because you are so affectionate, we are just registered disciples, except for Lin Si and Lin Piaoxu, he has never taken the others to heart." I, Xiao Li, just don't accept it, why can he Lin Si get the top martial arts inheritance, and we can only learn the rest from him? Why can he do whatever he wants to make a name for himself, while we have to live in obscurity like a puppet for the rest of our lives? ”

"It's hard for you to endure for so long," said the old beggar quietly, "These are your last words, right?" When that's done, let's hit the road. ”

The old man smiled and said, "Boss, we haven't done it for more than ten years, right?" In the past, your martial arts skills have always been the best among us, but don't blame the little brother for not reminding you, this is not as good as in the past. ”

The old beggar said nonchalantly: "You are always so self-righteous, don't talk nonsense, let's do it, let me see how much you have grown over the years, so that you don't know how thick the sky is." ”
