The snow poured down from the gray sky, and it seemed to drown everything in the world, turning it into a huge white and cold tomb.

Danqing Peak's previous murderous aura has been completely buried by this heavy snow, leaving only a blank silence.

From a distance, the group was walking towards the castle tower.

The leader was a sturdy and slender man in black, followed by an old man in a gray shirt with a hunched back, and the old man led a girl in red. The girl was only six or seven years old, dressed neatly in a short dress, small and thin, even if she walked in this ice and snow under the guidance of the old man, she was still one foot deep and one foot shallow, and often stumbled a few steps, but she always followed the man in black who walked steadily in front of her.

The three of them silently walked to the dimly lit castle tower, which is located in the middle of Danqing Peak, which is the center of power of the Sixteen Elements and the place where the lords of the past dynasties lived and discussed, so it was heavily guarded and guarded at all times.

The guards at the gate of the castle tower saw the three people coming, stepped forward, and whispered a few words to the man in black at the front.

I saw that the man in black looked slightly paused, and then turned his head to look at the girl in red behind him, and motioned for her to go in alone.

With tears in her eyes, the girl ran briskly towards the inner room.

Everything was shrouded in silence.

The charcoal fire in the house was sizzling, but the bright light of the fire could not illuminate the gloomy room.

The girl hurriedly ran towards the bed in the depths of the room, crouched beside the bed, and called, "Dad." ”

The man sleeping on the bed was none other than the eighth-generation leader of the Sixteenth Element of the World's First Assassin Gang, Huo Zhen. However, the appearance of the year of the establishment is frosty white with frosty temples and a look like wax.

Huo Zhen coughed lightly, turned to the side slightly, and faced the girl beside the bed: "Yanyun, you are here." ”

Huo Yanyun's tears rolled down from his eyes in an instant: "Daddy, don't leave me." ”

"Don't cry." The man held back the choked throat and said, "Our Huo family never sheds tears easily, even in the face of death, they are fearless. ”

Yanyun was silent, raised her hand and wiped the tears from her cheeks, but her red eyes still showed her sadness. She pursed her lips, tried to hold back her tears, and looked at her father seriously.

Huo Zhen's hand moved slightly, and he took out something wrapped in black silk from the close-fitting placket, his gaze stayed on it for a while, frowned, and finally handed it to Yanyun.

"Remember, this is something that our Huo family swears to guard." He stared at his daughter tightly, his eyes like a torch: "This thing must not fall into the hands of others." ”

Yanyun took it, a little puzzled: "What is this?" ”

Huo Zhen coughed a few more times, and his voice weakened: "It is a token of the Lord of the Sixteen Elements, and its owner is the benefactor of the Huo family." Since the establishment of the Sixteen Lines of the Huo family, it has been passed down from generation to generation and guarded by our Huo family, which is the mission of our Huo family. ”

She didn't seem to understand, but she carefully put it away and nodded firmly: "Daddy, don't worry, my daughter will definitely protect it." ”

Huo Zhen raised his hand with difficulty and stroked Yanyun's head: "Child, it's my father who is sorry for you, and my father is going to find your mother." ”

Yanyun knelt beside the bed with a plop, his young hands grabbed his cold hands tightly, and cried: "Dad, don't go, don't leave Yanyun!" ”

"From today on, you, Huo Yanyun, are the ninth generation master of the Sixteen Elements, you must learn to protect yourself and shoulder the mission of the Huo family." Huo Zhen's eyes slowly glanced at the direction of the door, and said: "You must follow your master to study hard, only those who have superb martial arts and perseverance can survive in the future battle......

"Yes, Yanyun will definitely live up to his father's expectations." Yanyun bit his lip and looked at his father sadly, the last light in his eyes was slowly fading, he turned his head and stared intently at the goose feather snow outside the window, and there was a long-lost smile on the corner of his mouth. This is the first time she has seen her father smile since her mother's death.

It was a weightless laugh, as if it was about to lift a piece of snow and float into the sky.

A gust of wind and snow pushed the windows open, and the snow and rain spread like flying flowers, extinguishing the last sporadic fires in the house.

Yanyun hurriedly got up and walked to the window, stood on tiptoe to close the window again, and when he turned around, he saw that his father had closed his eyes at some point, his face was stained with a little snow, but his expression was calm and serene, as if he was asleep.

She only felt a chuckle in her heart, and all the bad feelings came up at this moment. She returned to the bed and took her father's hand, only to find that the temperature of the palm had already become as cold as snow.

"Daddy!" Grief turned into a wail in her throat, and she grabbed Huo Zhen's hand, the only relative in this world who had left her at this moment. This is the first time she has faced the death of her dearest and loved one, and it turns out that death, like a snowy day, can take away all the warmth and light in this world.

There was a cacophony outside the door, and some people had hurried in, but the heavy footsteps could not stir up any waves in her dead world.

Daddy died, and she was left alone from then on.

"The Walker is gone......" a low voice sounded.

Everyone was silent, looking at each other.

After a while, a neat voice came from behind her: "See the young master." ”

I don't know what kind of emotions are hidden in these powerful voices.

———————————————— dividing lines————————————————

The Sixteen Elements, founded by the ancestors of the Huo family, trained the world's top assassins, and deterred the rivers and lakes because they specialized in assassination.

The sixteen lines are composed of four lines in the east, four in the west, four in the south, and four in the north. The East Four Lines will be the General Assembly, and the West, South, and North departments will all obey the orders of the East Four Lines.

Huo Yanyun is the only daughter of Huo Zhen, the eighth generation of the master, who took over the position of the master at the age of six. Although everyone in the line was dissatisfied with the young master in their hearts, due to the prestige of Huo Zhen's old department and Xiao Si, they could only obey their fate.

Huo Yanyun, the master of the Shaoxing Dynasty, studied under the first-class assassin Yun Bianke in the line since he was a child, learned a good martial arts, and followed Xiao Si to study the art of medicine and poison. But Yanyun has never been involved in the world, but he doesn't know that people's hearts are competing for the rivers and lakes, so most of the affairs in the industry are in charge of Xiao Si, and the position of the master is in name only.

Xiao has been high for four years, and the forces of various departments in the industry are expanding day by day, and the main force of the Shaoxing industry is weak, and all departments are eyeing each other. The four lines in the west and the four lines in the south are intriguing and fighting in the dark, arrogant, and the four elements in the north are cold and watching, and there is a suspicion of setting up another door. Only the Xingfeng Guard, who was directly under the Huo family in the past dynasties, was still loyal to the Lord and tried his best to serve Huo Yanyun.
