The breeze is like a flocculent, the willows are like rain, and in the afternoon in the south of the Yangtze River, the sky is drizzling.

Next to the ancient road, outside an old long pavilion, a willow tree flutters in the wind, and the thin raindrops are like crystal jade beads, verdant and one.

In the long pavilion, a melodious piano sound passed away with the wind, like the call of the world, floating in the misty fog of the south of the Yangtze River.

In the distance, a figure came with the wind as fast as an arrow, and as it approached the pavilion, the man let out a soft cry in his mouth, and his moving body immediately stopped.

In the drizzle, I saw that this man was sixty years away, with a small nose and small eyes on a monkey face, and a black hemorrhoid at the corner of his mouth, which was very obvious; Wearing a gray-black robe, I don't know how long I have been wearing it, holding a dust whisk in his hand, carrying a long sword, the whole person is surrounded by a faint blue and red light, separating the rain from three feet, and standing three inches above the ground on the toes.

Glancing at the person playing the piano in the pavilion, the old Taoist laughed, and at the same time, his body floated up and shot gently into the long pavilion.

"Lao Dao thought that Yanfu was coming, and he met a beautiful woman waiting for him here, who knew that he would meet a kind of person with a hundred hairs, it was really an accident, an accident!"

There was a bit of humor in his tone, and Lao Dao stared at the white-haired old man with small eyes.

smiled indifferently, the old man with crane hair and childish face still played the piano as before, and said softly in his mouth: "The world is looking for me to run and break my leg, I am looking for the world to be beautiful, in the Yanyu Jiangnan Long Pavilion, the old man wanders in front of the door." ”

In the soft chanting, the sound of the piano accompanies each other, and it is integrated into the scene.

With a smile, Lao Dao asked: "Old man, your hair is gray, and you seem to have lived for a long time, why do you always like to play dumb riddles?" Today, when you play the piano here, it shouldn't be as simple as touching the scene and wanting to express your feelings, there must be some other purpose, it's better to say it directly. ”

The old man said indifferently: "The old man has always guessed riddles when he speaks all his life, let the world guess my riddles, and I will guess the riddles of the world, so that I can go with the sky." ”

Lao Dao's eyes narrowed, and he said puzzledly: "Guess the riddle? Guess what's the riddle, can you make it clear? ”

The old man smiled and said, "If you make it clear, you don't have to guess." If I am not mistaken, I should be looking for someone, someone who is very close to you. It's just that you've thought about it, and what if you find him, it's just a waste of your time. The most important thing for you now is not to find that person, but to go to the door of the old man, and maybe there is a glimmer of opportunity. ”

Lao Dao's eyes changed slightly, and he asked, "Who are you, and what do you mean by being in front of the old man?" ”

The old man smiled and said: "You just treat me as a fortune teller, and I count all the people in the world in my life, but only one person can't see clearly." What is an old man? From where to go back and forth, the thousand-year-old foundation once flew to ashes, just for the catastrophe without mercy! ”

Lao Dao hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then asked, "Do you know who I am?" ”

The old man said with a smile: "Hear its sound and know its person, and look at its form and know its heart." The old man naturally knows who you are, otherwise why talk to you about this. ”

Hearing this, Lao Dao asked: "Since you say that you know who I am, then tell me, what will happen to me next?" ”

The old man looked up at him, and said lightly: "It's better not to know some things than to know, if you believe me, go back quickly, if you don't believe me, please leave." ”

Lao Dao's eyebrows furrowed, his right hand curled his fingers to calculate, and after a while, his face was shocked, and he said in shock: "It's not good, it's a bad omen, go quickly!" ”

When the words fell, the whole body flashed, and the whole person magically disappeared into the long pavilion.

The old man of Fuqin watched this old way leave, and sighed lightly: "The fate of the world is predetermined, whether to go or not is the same ending, the difference is the fate of others." ”

The wind gradually decreased, the rain gradually became heavier, and the sound of the rushing rain enveloped the land south of the Yangtze River, like countless undead crying, crying about what was coming.

In the long pavilion, the old man still flicked the stringed harp, and the sound of the piano reflected the sound of the rain, as if comforting the weeping souls of the dead.

In the distance, the black clouds were rolling and fluttering like ink, and after a while, the pouring rain suddenly hit, making the old pavilion like a lonely boat in the sea.

In the heavy rain, five hurried figures flew like arrows, and appeared outside the long pavilion in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that someone was playing the qin in the pavilion, the five figures suddenly stopped, and after being silent for a moment, they flew in at the same time and appeared beside the old man who played the qin.

Among the five people, four men and one woman are divided into two groups, the first batch is two men and one woman, which happens to be the three of Zhang Aoxue, Lin Yunfeng and Tian Mufeng, and the other group is two middle-aged people, all equipped with long swords, obviously also masters in the cultivation realm.

Glancing at the old man who was blowing the qin, Tian Mufeng said, "This person is a little weird, we have to be careful." ”

Lin Yunfeng said: "I know, this old man's eyes are very powerful, and he seems to be able to see through people's hearts. ”

Zhang Aoxue looked at it for a while, shook her head and said, "Don't worry, this person has pure eyes and no malice." ”

After speaking, looking at the rainstorm outside the pavilion, there was a faint sense of longing in his eyes.

Here, after the two middle-aged men glanced at Zhang Aoxue and the old man, the one on the left spoke: "Brother Chen, the current situation in the human world is chaotic, the demons are in turmoil, and the Central Plains Righteous Path Alliance is unfavorable for the first time, and the cultivation realm is really getting more and more dangerous, we have to think about it, where to avoid it." ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Chen said: "What Brother Li said is very true, I think that the master of the Righteous Path Alliance is like a cloud, under the leadership of the Heavenly Swordsman, I thought I could do a great job, but who knew that he would be defeated so badly in the first battle, it is really chilling." ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Li sighed: "Yes, who would have thought that after they re-aligned, it would still be so disappointing? On the contrary, the Demon Eradication Alliance was extraordinary, and Chen Yuluan personally went out to win the battle, which shocked his prestige and gave the cultivation world a little hope. ”

Hearing that the two of them talked about this matter, Tian Mufeng whispered to Zhang and Lin, and then came to the two of them, and said with a smile: "The two brothers are invited, the younger brother Tian Mufeng, because he entered the mountain to cultivate a few days ago, he just came out today, and I heard that the two of them talked about the affairs of the world, I don't know if I can also have a lively time, and inquire about the current situation in order to act in the future." ”

The two middle-aged people looked at him for a while, and saw that he didn't look like an evil person, and he didn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, so after exchanging a look with each other, the middle-aged man surnamed Chen said: "It turned out to be a young man, since it is a bit of fate to meet here, it is natural for everyone to communicate." ”

Tian Mufeng said with a smile: "Thank you, two brothers, I just heard you talk about the Righteous Path Alliance and the Demon Elimination Alliance, I don't know what happened in the past few days?" ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Chen said: "There are a lot of things, and it is surprising to say." Let's just say that the Righteous Path Alliance, they ------."

carefully recounted what had happened recently, and finally said: "I thought they would be able to make a difference this time, but who knew that in the end, even the Heavenly Sword Academy and the Confucian Garden were destroyed by others, and the entire Six Academies Alliance was left with Yi Yuan and Bodhi Academy still complete." ”

Hearing this, his face changed, Tian Mufeng glanced at Zhang Aoxue and Lin Yunfeng, and continued to ask, "Then what happened when you mentioned the Demon Elimination Alliance just now?" ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Li on the side said: "That incident also happened on the same day, when Chen Yuluan, the master of the Demon Eradication Alliance, personally led the alliance masters to attack, and met the Heihe Ghost King at the foot of Huashan, and the two sides fought fiercely, and finally Chen Yuluan personally destroyed the Heihe Ghost King and annihilated all the masters of the Ghost Domain." ”

When Zhang Aoxue, Lin Yunfeng, and Tian Mufeng in the pavilion heard this, their faces changed, and they couldn't tell whether they were surprised or happy.

After being silent for a moment, Tian Mufeng smiled and said, "I see, the Demon Elimination Alliance is really worthy of praise." According to what the two brothers said, the current Demon Eradication Alliance has become famous in the first battle, and the cultivation world is chaotic, so many people must go to join in order to seek peace, is it the same for the two brothers? ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Li shook his head and said: "Of course, there is some truth in what you say, but in my opinion, in today's chaotic world of demons and demons, with the strength of the Righteous Path Alliance, the support of the Cloud Law Realm and the Nine Heavens Void Realm has been defeated repeatedly, and the Demon Eradication Alliance may not be a happy land." If we rush there, we may end up in the killing field, and it is better to go away and take refuge. ”

Tian Mufeng nodded and said: "This is also human nature, after all, it is safer to stay away from the battlefield than to go to the battlefield in person." This time, the two brothers came to Jiangnan, they must have wanted to avoid the battle of the Central Plains, right? ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Chen said: "That's right, the two of us have discussed for a long time, and I feel that Jiangnan is calmer, so I came here to avoid the catastrophe." ”

Tian Mufeng said with a smile: "This little brother understands, here I will first wish the two brothers a safe journey and all the best!" ”

"Thank you Jiyan, now that the rain is lighter, we should also hurry, next time we have a chance to get together, take care."

Watching the two leave, Lin Yunfeng sighed: "The Sixth Courtyard has been wiped out, what should we do now, should we go back or go to Huashan?" ”

Zhang Aoxue was silent, her eyes looked quietly into the distance, a faint sadness appeared on her beautiful face, maybe she didn't know how to choose.

In the contemplation, the sound of the piano mutates, the melodious tone becomes passionate and high-pitched, and a kind of galloping vast air permeates the long pavilion, which makes the people who hear it feel surging, and there is a kind of pride in the world.

Turning to look at the old man who was playing the qin, Zhang Aoxue asked politely: "The seniors have excellent piano skills, I don't know how to call the honorific title?" ”

The old man looked at Zhang Aoxue for a moment, his hands suddenly accelerated, and suddenly a majestic atmosphere surrounded Zhang Aoxue's body, forming a wonderful rhythm, turning into countless notes printed on her forehead, and finally the glimmer flashed and disappeared without a trace.

Retracting his hands, the old man sighed lightly: "I'm just a piano player, you don't need to care about the surname." Today, this piece of music should not be given to you, but I will make an exception for the sake of the world, otherwise countless people in the world will suffer misfortune in the future. There is a doomed catastrophe in your life, which is insolvable, and you have to live with dirt to meet the destiny of heaven, but then it will harm countless living beings, so I will help you to resolve this catastrophe today, and I only hope that you will be able to save the catastrophe one day. ”
