The first rays of sunlight pierced the dark clouds, tore through the dim sky, and dispelled the turbidity of the night. Even though it is dazzling, it is cold to the bone.

"Senior brother, why is it so much colder at dawn than at night?"

"......" The tall man in the white robe walked towards his junior brother and tied his silver hair with a plain belt, "But it's okay, it will slowly warm up." ”

Sure enough, the sun slowly brightened, illuminating the entire valley and warming the two "immortals" standing side by side, one black and one white. It is said that it is an "immortal", because these two people have already experienced some sad things when they know the destiny of heaven, and their hair is gray; also because the two of them are tall and have strong arm muscles, they are both sword practitioners, and they do not charge on the battlefield, but meditate and practice in this deep valley; is also because the faces of the two are a little wrinkled, but their expressions have a sense of relief without desire. Even this desireless look can only be left for these two hours of the day in the morning.

"Xiaozhuang, it's really early today."

"Senior brother, you too."

Every morning, the two "immortals" cleanse their faces with the cold lake water, comb their long hair carefully, tidy up their clothes, and meditate in this empty valley when the first rays of sunlight appear, using the unique breathing and breathing technique of the ghost valley to exhale the stale breath of the night, and then inhale the freshest breath of the morning into the body. With the sound of the murmuring of the stream deep in the valley, the sound of the birds stretching their wings on the branches, and the sound of dew rolling on the leaves, a new day is ushered in.

This has long been a habit. Many people are very concerned about their habits, and they are manipulated by habits to spend their lives, so that when they encounter good habits, they will benefit for a lifetime, and if they have bad habits, they will ruin their lives. However, for these two people, it doesn't matter whether this habit is good or bad, and it is not clear what this habit is for, all they really care about is the moment when this habit is located. The meaning of this moment is too important for them.

The person in white is called: Gai Nie, "the first swordsman in the world", back then, as the first guard of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor remembered that he had saved the driver in Jing Ke's assassination, and gave him a sword, a number, the sword was called Yuanhong, which was recast twice and accompanied Gai Nie's side; That name is the number one swordsman in the world. Now he is fifty-two years old, and it is said that this title should have been given to others a long time ago, but Gai Nie is not only a superman in swordsmanship, but also has a unique understanding of swords. After he went into hiding, many swordsmen searched for him for many years, but to no avail, knowing his past, he felt that it was incomparable, and no one mentioned that he wanted to seize this name. In fact, Gai Nie doesn't care about these names at all, and he doesn't care what the outside world says about him. He just cared about someone, he had waited for this person for too long, and he didn't know if she was dead or alive.

The man in Gai Nie's heart left him and abandoned his son. He no longer knew whether he loved this person more or hated her more. Gai Nie's son was talented and intelligent, and Gai Nie didn't want his son to accompany him to live in seclusion in this valley for the rest of his life, so he let him be an official in the court incognito. Maybe it's been a dead old man. Gai Nie has an adopted son named Tianming, and Tianming often comes to this valley to talk to him and practice swords, but Gai Nie doesn't feel lonely. Later, his younger brother brought a family to accompany Gai Nie, which made the valley even more lively.

The man in black is called: Wei Zhuang. The owner of the demon sword shark tooth, the person who can control the demon sword, must also have a demonic aura. Wei Zhuang not only has a demonic aura, but also a demonic aura, when he stands in front of you and leaks a weird smile, you can think about the dying words. The spirit of the demon king will be frustrated by the righteous knights many times. He is now fifty-three years old, although he is one year older than Gai Nie, but because when he entered the master's door, he was three months late and became a junior disciple. Gai Nie called him "Xiao Zhuang", which is not an exaggeration, after all, Wei Zhuang always seems naïve in front of Gai Nie, especially after being educated by Gai Nie on the spiritual level. In fact, he is only like this in front of his senior brother, in the eyes of others, Wei Zhuang is always the image of a big person, in fact, he is destined to be a person with a big identity from birth. Now he has no identity and no status, living a life that he didn't expect at all, such a gap, he asked himself so many times in his heart, whether he must spend his old age like this, so many times he has no answer, every time he struggles, he has to use wine to intoxicate himself, until he finds the next day's sunshine.

Wei Zhuang knew in his heart that the senior brother was waiting for him, and he also knew her, and there was no other person like her in this world. He came to this valley to accompany his senior brother because of this woman's entrustment, in fact, even if she does not entrust herself, he will come to take care of her senior brother, after all, he is the only person alive in this world who understands Gai Nie, and Gai Nie is also the only person in this world who understands himself.

Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang studied under Guigu when he was a teenager, and learned the vertical swordsmanship and horizontal swordsmanship in the Guigu Valley respectively. From the day they appeared, they were destined to fight to the death, and the victorious side would become the next Guiguzi and decide the fate of the common people. Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang never knew who the next Guiguzi would be, and they no longer wanted to hurt the other party for this empty name, but they knew that the previous Guiguzi, their master was a native of Wei, and they knew very little about the master's other things.

About the Ghost Valley, the place they have been concerned with all their lives, there are too many unforgettable things that have happened, about the people in this valley, they have been remembered in their hearts, and even put in the deepest place in their hearts, they don't want to show it to others, they just want to bury these things, these people are deep in the memory of the Ghost Valley, as the last sacrifice of the Ghost Valley.

When the sun was setting on this day, the white-haired two talked and laughed while drinking tea as usual. "It's almost the end of another day." Wei Zhuang looked at the red sunset in the distance and said.

"Day after day, when will this long life end?" Ganie said pessimistically.

"Senior brother, I don't want you to leave me too early," Wei Zhuang sat up straight and looked at Gai Nie sternly, "At that time, no one will accompany me to practice swords, bickering, how boring it is." ”

"Don't you have those children and grandchildren?" Gai Nie looked at Wei Zhuang's expression and wanted to laugh a little, but he still endured it.

"After all, they are still young, they are not my opponents, bump and touch, Xiao Lian is going to let me kneel her chain sword."

"Isn't it better to kneel with shark teeth?"

Wei Zhuang glanced at his senior brother, but after all, today is an important day, and the feud of bickering will be recorded in the account first. It's time to say something important.

Putting down the teacup, stretching over his waist, Wei Zhuang, who was on the bench, opened his mouth again: "Senior brother, today is the autumn equinox!" ”

Gai Nie suddenly stopped drinking tea, obviously waiting for the next words.

"We've known each other for forty years."

The autumn breeze blew Wei Zhuang's white hair, revealing the corners of his mouth slightly raised, different from those smiles in the past, this time there was a childlike feeling. Gai Nie slowly put down the teacup, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

yes, forty years. It's been so long.

"Xiaozhuang, your smile is exactly the same as when we first met!"

"Senior brother. Aren't you too? ”

After all, once upon a time, Senior Brother was also a person who loved to laugh.

(Note: The chain sword and the shark tooth are the two swords in the Qin period, the chain sword is bendable in normal state, and is connected by pieces of sword blades like iron chains, one side of the shark tooth is like an ordinary sword, and the other side is under the sword head, there are saber teeth separated from each other like shark teeth.) Both swords have parts that are not cohesive, so they can be kneeled like a washboard or keyboard. The description is not clear, I hope you forgive me, and those who are interested in this can check the map on the Internet. ）
