On the border of southern Xinjiang, a figure wandered around the mountains and forests for a few days, and in the evening he touched the border, he looked around, and soon found the battlefield a few months ago.

This person is about fifty years old, nearly 1.9 meters tall, broad shoulders and round waist, a fat and round face, thick eyebrows upside down, tiger eyes are round, cheeks are long, and he has an extremely fierce appearance, which can definitely scare children into crying in the middle of the night.

This is the top disciple among the eight disciples of Neng Zhentian, the Taoist name 'Yu Ri', he has been by the side of Neng Zhentian since he was a child, and began to become famous when the four evils just faded out of the rivers and lakes, and once challenged many masters in the "Five Sects" and "Six Domains" and won a complete victory, many sects refused to accept his challenge for fear of being hurt by their reputation. Just when his name began to spread wildly on the rivers and lakes, Tang Ri suddenly disappeared, making the outside world think that he had been retaliated against by the enemy and died.

What the outside world doesn't know is that the original name of the Emperor is Zhang Chiyan, that's right, he is a descendant of the side branch of the Heavenly Master, and he is also the only one among the eight disciples who is related to the Zhang family, and his retreat is also very simple, Zhang Guangzong, who is a few years younger than him, was established as the palm seal of the next generation, and in frustration, he chose to disappear from the rivers and lakes, which is also his way to protect himself.

He followed the mottled footprints all the way forward, and soon found the dilapidated gutter, the edges of which were clearly turned over, and the grass was all newly grown, as if something was buried. He jumped out of the gutter and took out a blade from the cloth bag behind him.

This is a very strange weapon, a one-and-a-half-meter-long fine steel rod, embedded in the top third of a long knife with a wide tail and a narrow tip, looks a bit like the half-cut shovel used by the sand monk in "Journey to the West", but the two sides of this shovel are not symmetrical, more like a crescent knife with a ring handle inserted into the steel rod pieced together.

With a slight press on the handle, the long knife bounced out of the steel rod to form a short-handled scythe. He grabbed the scythe in his hand and used it as a shovel, and with a few "poofs" he cut open the floating soil, revealing a corpse underneath.

"Shizukawa!" Although he had been mentally prepared, it was still difficult to accept all this with his own eyes.

Bo Yue once made an incisive analysis of the eight disciples - the most ambitious; Boyue and Ningjiang are relatively loyal, indifferent to fame and fortune; Ming Jing and Zhitian are deceitful by nature; Jinghe is suspicious and arrogant, and he is desperate for Zhang Guangzong. Therefore, among the eight disciples, Yu Ri and Jinghe are the most speculative and have the best relationship, and now seeing the junior brother fall into such a miserable end, his heart is naturally sad and hateful.

Although nearly two months had passed, and his clothes had become tattered, Shizuha's body had not decomposed, his face was pale, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was closed, and his fingers were tightly locked, and he looked extremely painful and dead.

He took Shizuha's body out of the gutter and put it on the ground to observe it carefully, and finally understood the reason.

"Damn, I actually used such vicious means, Mu Yuan, you wait, I must kill you to avenge Jinghe!"

He ripped off Jinghe's clothes, revealing his chest, and sure enough, he saw that his chest was bruised. He quickly pulled out a hand and drew a talisman on Shizukawa's chest and on his head. As soon as he finished painting, Jinghe's chest trembled slightly, and a blue and black color appeared on the Yin Hall, and then several black gases came out of Jinghe's nostrils, mouth, ear holes, and even eyes, mixed with a disgusting stench.

As the black qi slowly dissipated, Jinghe's corpse quickly dried up, his skin turned from white to black, and his face became hideous and terrifying.

"Jinghe, hurry back to the master's gate!" Got down on one knee and made a vow in front of Jinghe's body, "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you and sacrifice your dead with the blood of the enemy!" ”

At the same time, Yuandi was cleaning in the ancestral shrine in the backyard of the Heavenly Master's Gate.

Suddenly, the wooden shelf on which the jade plaque was hung shook for a while. Turning his head to look at it from afar, he saw that the jade plate engraved with the word "Jinghe" cracked a few thin cracks with a "click", and then fell to the ground and fell to a powder.

"Sixth Senior Brother? The sixth senior brother is back! He choked up in his voice, tears welling up in his eyes, and staggered to the front yard to report the news.

Southern Xinjiang, Miao Village.

Hongli sat in the middle of the main room, staring out the window, never bringing the teacup to her lips.

"Rieh!" Long Ling'er's mother, Honglan, walked in with Long Haochen, "Did you tell us something?" ”

"I'm going to go out, you and Haochen help me take care of the affairs of the clan!"

"You're going out again?" Honglan was stunned, "Rie, where are you going?" ”

"Go see Ling'er!"

"Ling'er? Is she in trouble again? ”

"What trouble can my granddaughter do? Even if it's a troublemaker, it's instigated by others, hum, girls are outgoing! Hongli sighed again after speaking, "I'm just a little worried, I want to go over and take a look, Cai Chen said that they are making a bit of a big move this time, I'm afraid that I can shake the sky and make a move!" ”

"Patriarch, if you can't do it, bring Ling'er and Muyuan back together!" Long Haochen said, "Hide in Miao Village!" ”

"If only you could hide!" Hongli reached into his arms and took out a delicate phoenix jade pendant, "Lan'er, I'll give this to you!" ”

"Rie, this is your patriarch's letter, isn't it just a few days out, you still have to keep this thing, I can't take it!"

"Without this, why do you command your people? Don't worry, I've already agreed with the elders that you will take the position of patriarch for the time being! Hongli said, "What if...... If I don't come back, I'll give this thing to Ling'er in the future! ”

"Rieh!"

"I'm just in case, things aren't as bad as you think!" Hongli snorted contemptuously, "I didn't serve him back then, and now I don't know who wins and who loses!" If it weren't for that old thing, I would have killed Dragon Tiger Mountain again! ”

"Lea, you're a lot old, don't ......"

"I'm not old!" Hongli snorted, and then his tone became euphemistic, "Cai He, that old loach, I'm afraid I'm going to go out of the mountain, I only have one granddaughter, he has a son, a daughter and a few apprentices, I don't believe he is willing!" Let you temporarily act as the patriarch, but I am afraid that I will fulfill the vow of the year, and the destiny of heaven cannot be violated, if I can understand this truth, I won't have to bother so much! ”

"Good!" Honglan took the jade card, but still admonished, "Lia, be careful in everything, discuss it with the fourth uncle more, Haochen and I are waiting for you to come back, and you still have to decide the major affairs in this clan!" ”

"Well, discuss everything with a few elders, the Ning family and the old immortal of the Long family!"

Long Haochen drooped his eyelids, this mother-in-law scolded his father in front of him for being "old and immortal", which really embarrassed him a little.

"Alright, Rie!" Honglan walked up a few steps and grabbed her mother's arm, "You will treat this outing as a tour, and by the way, help us discipline Ling'er, she is also a little too disobedient, where is this to go to school, it is simply to release eagles, and if you go out, you won't be able to come back!" ”

At the mention of his granddaughter, Hongli's brows finally eased a lot, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily showed a smile.

"Well, if everything goes well, I'll have a forced marriage and put those little girls' minds to death early!"

"Patriarch, I heard that Mu Yuan has a tour in Rongcheng next month, you can just go over and guide!"

"Rongcheng, I'm definitely going to go!" Hongli said, his fingers inadvertently twisting the Buddha beads on his wrist.
