In the leafless forest, there is no wind in the cold night, and the atmosphere is very tense!

More than thirty savages with weapons in their hands seemed to know how to cooperate, and they formed three circles inside and out, and surrounded Bian Yao and the gray-clothed boy in it. Strange voices came from the mouths of the savages, and gradually and slowly approached the two of them.

"It's a bit of a lot, and it looks like I'm looking for a chance to rush out. Bian Yao turned his back to his companion and said worriedly.

The sword cultivation boy was silent, his sharp eyes stared at the approaching savage, and he suddenly flipped the sword in his hand, his body was like lightning rushing out, and he took the initiative to attack.

A sword was unleashed, swift and deadly! In an instant, the tip of the sword was in front of the throat of one of the savages. Suddenly, a spear flew out of the diagonal and struck the head of the sword up in an accurate and timely manner, causing the gray-clothed young man to stab his sword into the air, and the savage who was almost killed took the opportunity to jump away.

He didn't expect the savage's skills to be so fast and agile, and the gray-clothed young man couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and there was a short delay.

At that moment, the spear turned and stabbed him in the chest, and at the same time, a thick hammer slammed into his temple from the right side.

At the critical moment, the gray-clothed young man's face was cold, he turned around with his sword, and the Pu sword in his hand drew a strange arc, from a tricky angle, instantly resisted the spear stab, and at the same time dodged to avoid the attack of the hammer.

Looking at the other side, Bian Yao was also dealing with the four savages alone, only to see him keep raising his hand and waving his fingers, constantly releasing stones and flying swords, launching illusory attacks on the savages, replacing defense with attack, but for a while the savages could not get close, and there was no danger.

Although these savages are not cultivators, they cooperate with each other very tacitly, and they are very skilled and flexible in using human weapons. The two sides only took a few breaths, but the hearts of the two teenagers began to sink, and their faces became more and more solemn.

Seeing that his killing moves were blocked three times in succession, the gray-clothed young man rushed up angrily, and a fierce look suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he decided to take a risk!

In the next moment, the sword cultivation boy suddenly used a strange move, with a body like fluttering, and unexpectedly turned over and cut out a sword, as fast as the wind, like a rushing light!

The cold light was gone in an instant, and a fluffy head rolled to the ground, spraying a hot liquid from the severed neck.

Almost at the same moment, the tip of the spear pierced deep into the left shoulder of the sword cultivator, and the sound of the wind from the hammer dance reached his ears again! The young man raised his right hand and swung back, resisting the fatal blow of the iron hammer with lightning speed, and at the same time, the bow flicked back, and he was back against Bian Yao again.

Due to the tragic death of one savage, the other savages temporarily stopped attacking, and two savages ran up from the outer circle, carrying the body and head of the wild man back separately.

All the wild men bared their teeth and let out a manic roar, and then stared at a pair of eyes full of wild cruelty, and continued to approach the two.

"It's really going to be over now! These savages are really not simple, and it seems unlikely that the two of us want to break out!" Even though it is not the first time that he has experienced danger, Bian Yao's face at this moment, in the moonlight, looks very pale!

Ignoring the blood flowing from the wound on his shoulder, the sword cultivator boy stared straight ahead with his cold eyes, as if he was making a decision. Suddenly, he slowly raised his left hand, stretched out a finger and moved it to the blade, and at the same time said coldly in a chilling voice: "Then kill them all!"

Bian Yao obviously felt that his tone was a little abnormal, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, and was about to speak, when he heard a vicissitudes of voice suddenly from the periphery: "Two little guys who don't know whether to live or die!"

Before the unfamiliar words fell, a ghostly black shadow had passed through the encirclement of the savages, flashed and appeared beside the two of them, and quickly stretched out his arms, holding them under his waist, and jumped into the air, flying directly into the distance.

At first, the two thought they were the helpers of the wild man, but soon they realized that the man had no malicious intentions, so they let the man lead them and fled into the distance, but they heard the wind whistling in their ears.

The prey was taken away, and the group of savages naturally did not relent, and chased after them closely, roaring angrily from time to time. Luckily, they didn't run as fast as the man, so the distance between them was gradually widened.

About half an hour later, the man descended from mid-air, landed in a small clearing, and casually lowered the two men.

"Thank you seniors for coming to the rescue!" As soon as Bian Yao's feet landed, he smiled and looked at the man by the moonlight, secretly surprised in his heart.

Under the cold glow of the stars and moon, the mysterious man was dressed in a shabby black suit, and most of his face was covered by messy beard and hair, so he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but at first glance he was not much different from a wild man.

"Excuse me, I wouldn't have been able to save you if it weren't for Pianpin. The man snorted, his attitude surprisingly cold.

The gray-clothed young man stood aside, listened to his words, and couldn't help but reply: "Who let you meddle in your business again! If you hadn't intervened, I would have killed all those beasts by now!"

Hearing this, the man's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, he turned his face and stared at him a few times, and suddenly sneered: "Do you believe that I will throw you back into the wild man pile again?"

In the face of the man's intimidation, the gray-clothed young man raised his sword eyebrows obliquely, glared angrily, and replied without showing weakness: "That's the best! ”

Seeing that the mysterious man's anger was getting stronger, Bian Yao hurriedly moved between the two, waved his hand at the man and smiled: "Anyway, the senior showed up in time to save the two of us, I don't know what 'Pianpin' in your mouth is......"

At this time, the man's face suddenly softened, turned his anger into sadness, and said in a sad voice: "It's my wife." ”

"Ahh......h Why is she here again?"

"She's the one who told me to save you. The man did not look back, his words filled with deep sadness.

Bian Yao couldn't help but be stunned, and the gray-clothed young man behind him seemed to have forgotten about the quarrel with the man just now, and looked at the white shadow not far away, with a bit of curiosity in his eyes.

Less than ten zhang behind the mysterious man, under a claw tree, the white shadow stood there quietly, not approaching, looking a little strange.

"Why is she so far away from us?" Bian Yao hesitated for a moment and said the question in his heart.

"She's dead, it's just her soul, and for some unknown reason can't get near the living, and she can't speak. The man's tone changed again, and his voice, which was already very vicissitudes, sounded more and more sad.

Bian Yao didn't say anything, turned his head and glanced at the gray-clothed young man, and they both saw the sudden and new confusion in the other party's eyes.

"Senpai, I'll invite you to drink. After a moment of silence, Bian Yao rolled his eyes, took out a few jars of spirit fruit wine from the space bag, and casually threw one to the gray-clothed young man.

"I haven't drunk in decades. The man suddenly smiled bitterly again, and his hungry eyes fell on the jar.

Wine is undoubtedly a very good thing for people with grief! There is no talk or story when there is wine, and some things are told with a little drunkenness, so as not to make the narrator too painful.

Under the moonlit night, in the leafless forest, the mysterious man sat opposite Bian Yao, and the gray-clothed young man held the wine jar alone, sitting a foot away, and the white shadow stood quietly not far behind the man.

When most of the wine was drunk, the man finally broke the silence and looked up at the crooked moon in the night sky, his gaze gradually frozen, as if recalling a distant and heartbreaking story.

This happened 60 years ago, and the man can't remember the exact age. He is a native of Hanjiang County, Huangzhou, and at the beginning of that year, he was in the late realm of dream-madness, and by coincidence, he met Xu Pianpian, the eldest lady of the Xu family, the first door in the county, and finally fell in love.

However, the good thing didn't last long, because the man's identity was ordinary, and the cultivation realm was not outstanding, he naturally couldn't get the approval of the Xu family, and Xu Pianpian was restricted from traveling and was trapped in the house. The man tried several times to no avail, and just when he was about to give up, Xu Pianpian escaped from the house, found the man and resolutely decided to elope with him.

After discussion, the two fled Hanjiang County overnight, wanting to leave Huangzhou and go to Zezhou to find a peaceful place to live and live. In order to escape as soon as possible, the two came to Yushi County, and teamed up with the other three to enter the Chaos Plains, hoping to use this dangerous shortcut to Zezhou.

When a group of five people came to the Leafless Forest, they were surrounded by savages at night, and Xu Pianpian only had the initial dream madness realm, and his cultivation was the lowest among the five. In the chaos, Xu Pianpian was seriously injured, while the other three were bent on fleeing for their lives, ignoring their injured companions.

After a tragic hard battle, the man finally took his lover away from the wild man's encirclement, and he was also covered with scars. The man was grief-stricken, emaciated, and in pain, and fainted.

After waking up, when the man was hesitating whether to bring his lover's body back to Xu's house, he found that his lover's soul had not dispersed, and he was standing silently not far away, staring at him with painful eyes.

Soon, the man noticed the anomaly, the lover's spirit could not speak, nor could he approach him, and the two could only talk through eyes and gestures. After guessing that this might have something to do with the environment of the Leafless Forest, the man decides to take his lover's body and soul away from the Leafless Forest, but it turns out that the lover's soul cannot leave the Leafless Forest at all.

Just outside the leafless forest, the man held his lover's body and looked at the spirit of the forest for a long time, and finally the lover's spirit persuaded him to leave. The man stopped where he was, hesitated and struggled for a long time before he made up his mind to leave, but after taking a few steps, when he looked back, he suddenly turned and walked into the woods. Because, from the lover's stupid eyes, the man saw endless loneliness, fear and reluctance.

Since then, the man has never left the Leafless Forest, and has been guarding the soul of his lover day and night, even if the two cannot talk, they cannot get close.

At the end of the speech, the man stopped his grief, raised the jar again, and drank bitterly to the sky.

The night was still so quiet, no one made a sound for a while, but the young man sighed in his heart.

Just for the soul of a lover, he resolutely lived a life of isolation in this strange woods, and he had no regrets for decades, this kind of behavior is really moving! There is such a pure and deep emotion in this world!

Although Bian Yao still doesn't understand the relationship between men and women, he can't help but feel deep sympathy and admiration for the man in front of him at this moment!

"She's very kind! Even if she becomes a ghost, she still wants to save others. When she finds out that you two are being targeted by the wildlings, she tries to lure you away from the wildlings, but unfortunately you don't understand. If it weren't for her repeated requests, and given your young age, I wouldn't have made a move!" the man said slowly, putting down the jar.

Bian Yao sighed, moved his gaze to the white shadow not far away, and was secretly grateful to him in his heart. After being silent for a while, he asked, "I don't know how much my predecessors know about this leafless forest, why do I think those wild people seem to be very unusual!"

"There seems to be a terrifying power in the depths of this wood, and although I have been in this forest for decades, I have never dared to penetrate it, so I don't know what secrets are hidden in it!" the man muttered for a moment, and then suddenly added, "But I have witnessed those savages eating humans, and it is very cruel!"

At this time, Bian Yao suddenly remembered the human bones he saw on the way, his face changed slightly, and he thought that he was really right by that guy!

The man put down the empty wine jar in his hand, stood up suddenly, raised his hand and pointed to the stars in the night sky, and said seriously: "You can go, go in that direction, it will be relatively safe, don't stop for a moment! By sunset tomorrow, you should be able to walk out of this forest." ”

Hearing this, Bian Yao was overjoyed in his heart! His lips lifted but he didn't speak, he was stunned for a while, and then took out all the remaining wine in the space bag and put it on the ground.

Seeing this, the man couldn't help but laugh, and said with great joy: "Originally, I wanted to ask you how many altars you wanted, but since you took them out yourself, it will not be difficult for me to speak." ”

Bian Yao smiled, turned his eyes and glanced at the white shadow not far away, and said: "For the life-saving grace of the two seniors, we can't repay it for a while, seeing that the seniors seem to like wine very much, let's take wine as a reward for the time being." ”

The man was not polite, raised his arm and waved it, put away all the dozens of jars of wine on the ground, and said, "I will accept the wine, you guys go quickly!"

Bian Yao didn't say anything more, turned to look at the young man in gray, and said, "Let's go."

The gray-clothed young man got up and walked a few steps, suddenly stopped and looked back, his eyes moved from the white shadow to the man, he was silent for a second, and said "Thank you!"

As soon as the words came out, the gray-clothed young man quickly turned around and hurried into the darkness.

Under the faint moonlight, in the vast leafless forest, two teenagers ran all the way, galloping in the direction that the man had just pointed out.
