The cool breeze gradually rose at night, and in the territory of Dali, at the top of Tianhang Mountain, which is less than half a day's away from Hongmeng Valley, in a simple pavilion built with four pine trees, a blind old man over half a hundred years old sat on the ground at will, his hands kept scratching something on the grass, and a white young crane was squatting beside him.

The young crane watched the old man write motionlessly, and his black eyes the size of a grain of rice were immersed in deep thought.

"He'er, He'er, you've been with the old man for thirty years, and in the thirty years of ups and downs, you have never left the old man, this friendship, the old man can only taste it back!" This old man is the Tianji Zi who knows the heaven and the earth, and knows yin and yang, he picked up a yarrow on the ground at random as he spoke, scratched his itchy scalp and said: "The old man taught you these methods of divination can only be said to be the method of death, and the real way of living must be realized by yourself, and you must not follow the old ways and fall into a trap." At any time, it should be counted as a supplement, and the view is superior, and the appearance is not as good as the eye, and the eye is not as good as the heart. You just remember this, and you have the ability to eat! ”

The white crane craned his neck and nodded slightly, obviously understanding his words.

"Ahh Tianjizi's two white eyes turned to the shining star in the southeast direction and said, "Remember the name Shentu Jingyao, if you see her one day...... That's it," he pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "All causes and conditions have their own laws, and the old man won't say much!" ”

Hearing this, the crane's eyes showed a trace of confusion, as if sensing the pity of the old man, and it stretched out its little head embellished with rubies and rubbed against the back of his hand.

Tianjizi lowered his head, ready to put down the yarrow scratching his head, but when he touched the scattered yarrow on the ground and showed a different number because of the missing one in his hand, his eyes suddenly tightened and his body trembled.

"Ahh

Sure enough, dozens of killers wearing night clothes and black masks appeared out of thin air, and with a jump, they surrounded the windy pavilion on all sides in the blink of an eye.

"I didn't expect that the hexagram that the old man calculated for himself in his life turned out to be my last hexagram!" Tianjizi calmed down, and her empty eyes turned around with her head, as if she was looking at these killers in her eyes.

"Nangong Lie called you here, right?" A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "As the king of a country, even a bad old man can't tolerate me, how small his heart should be——"

The dozen or so black-clothed killers looked at each other's waists at a golden token engraved with the word "Nangong", and secretly said in their hearts: Hasn't this old man become blind?

They didn't know that it was the White Crane who told the old man that since Tianjizi lost his eyes, the White Crane had become his eyes.

At this time, the crane was still chirping, constantly warning the group, but these killers didn't take it seriously.

"If you dare to insult Emperor Dali, the crime will be added to the first degree-" The black-clothed man led by the scabbard flashed, and a long knife was drawn neatly, and the cold cold light was directly aimed at Tianjizi's neck: "If you know each other and tell me how to break through Hongmeng Valley, you can also leave a whole corpse for you!" ”

"Do you see, O King of the Great Lisian? This is your son, for the sake of status and power, he has no regard for your people-" Tianjizi suddenly knelt on the ground, raised his head and howled: "Dali is going to die, the world is going to die-" As he spoke, his throat was hot, blood splattered all over the ground, and the knife in the hands of the man in black had fallen, they were directly loyal to Emperor Dali, and they would never allow anyone to insult their master.

As the red blood spurted out, the white crane's cry became even more terrible, it knew that it was not the opponent of these people, so it could only keep wailing, and the last sentence in front of Tianjizi's eyes was said to the white crane: "Run, escape from Dali-" The warm corpse fell straight to the ground.

The white crane spun back and forth like crazy, grabbing off the mask of each man in black with its claws, and then looked at each executioner with its cold eyes, and it watched as these people threw the body of Tianji Zi off the cliff, so the terrible howl followed the corpse all the way to the bottom of the cliff until it was gone.

"Boss, do you need to get rid of this crane?" A man in black asked,

The man in black at the head licked the blood on the knife and sneered, "Why is it that even a bird scares you?" The mission is complete, we can go back to our lives, and this time the reward can live in the Jade Pavilion for several years! ”

"The girl there is very smart, our brothers are blessed!" More than a dozen men in black laughed and left.

At the foot of the mountain, Shentu Qingfeng hurried over. The mountain road was steep, so he could only tie his horse to the tree, and with his own light skills, he galloped to the top of the mountain.

On the way, he heard a terrible chirping, which quickly died away, but it disturbed him.

By the time he reached the top of the mountain, the pavilion made of four pine trees had collapsed, and the red blood on the grass told him that the sky was gone!
