In the dark night, two people with extremely opposite identities stood on the surface of the lake and looked at the starry sky at the same time.

When Huang Yu walked to him, no one paid attention to anyone, and the time was passing minute by minute, and the lonely boat on the lake had slowly drifted away.

I said, "Silence only makes time go by heavier, have you ever thought that tonight is your last chance to confirm the truth?" ”

"Silence is just an expression of mood, thinking about how to face the untold story. ”

"If you're just thinking, there's a lot of places you can go. "She told you everything?" She didn't say a word, but I guessed something before, and went to Liu Yazi in the afternoon to find out the details. ”

Promise Ling didn't speak again, and I continued: "A road that is unwilling to reach the destination, no matter how long it stays in the middle, it is meaningless, it is better to turn back, because that is also a choice. ”

Speaking of this, Promise Ling slowly walked towards the lonely boat, he walked really slowly, and his pace was not big, but after three steps, he boarded the stern of the boat, which was already a hundred meters away from us.

If the helpless past is an obstacle that must be crossed with all our might, what will happen if we can't cross it? Will it flicker and flicker towards the stars in the night sky, constantly giving people disappointment and hope.

I thought like this, and I didn't follow it, because I felt uneasy in my heart, and I even had times when I was uneasy, whether I was uneasy or afraid.

In the cabin, in the middle was a square table, and Xia Wuling sat on a stool, lying on it with his heavy head in his hands, as if he had endless troubles.

Promise Ling stepped forward and stood, but he didn't dare to approach, because in his heart, there was still a mustard.

I don't know how long I sitted, I don't know how long I stood, I don't know how long I was silent. The two hearts that indulge in sorrow have become meaningless because of the time that has passed in silence.

"I grew up living in the Broken Mountains, which were inaccessible and belonged to the place where the strong lived, and my mother was just an ordinary peasant woman. That mountain range is the master of the Seven Demon Sect families, and there are also some small demon gates around it. Since the day I can remember, my mother has been going to do chores for these magic doors every day in exchange for daily necessities. At that time, I couldn't help at all, and I could only wait for my mother who left early and returned late every day. The only thing I can help my mother is that she has always been in good health, although she doesn't eat well at every meal, and occasionally she is hungry, but she has never been sick and has not caused trouble to her mother, but her mother is different. ”

"The mother in my memory is very beautiful, although she is not well dressed and does not have an otherworldly temperament, but she is still beautiful. In the winter of the year when I was six years old, one time at dawn, a middle-aged man came to the dilapidated wooden house, he was a disciple of a second-rate demon sect, and he met my mother when she went there to do chores, and when he came in, he said that he wanted to take care of my mother and me for the rest of my life. I peeked through the crack in the door at the man, and though he wasn't very good-looking, he was very well dressed, and I had never seen such a magnificent dress in my eyes at that time. At that time, I hoped that my mother would agree to him, and I could see that the person was very sincere, and he really liked his mother, and as long as his mother married her, our mother and daughter would not have to live so hard, but my mother refused to say anything, and categorically refused. The man didn't force* force his mother's relatives, but left some silver taels and left. ”

"With the silver, plus the remuneration that my mother usually gets in exchange for doing chores, we can go to Lantian to exchange for some daily necessities. At that time, the place where I lived was more than 300 miles away from Lantian Ji, and it took more than a week to go back and forth. My mother brought enough dry food and took me to Lantian Market, I don't know how long I haven't been to this market, I remember that the dumpling stall at the door is the most fragrant, every time I go there, I will always have a beautiful meal, this time is no exception. I was full, then I changed a lot of things, and stayed in a small inn for another night. The next day, I happily went home with large and small packages. ”

"It was snowing that day, we were walking in the suburbs, and we met twelve robbers, who robbed us of all the valuable things and food, leaving only a few hard steamed buns. The robbers were gone, and I held my mother, picked up a few hard steamed buns on the ground, and walked on the way home, oh my God, I don't know how I walked home at that time. When I got home, there was nothing to use at home, my mother was seriously injured, and I was tired for many years, my body was weak, and I couldn't afford to get sick when I got home, I was alone, except for being able to boil some hot water for my mother to drink, I really didn't know what to do. ”

"That night, when I saw my mother cough up another mouthful of blood, I suddenly remembered the uncle who came that day, and I thought that if I found him, he would definitely help us. So I went to the bed and said I'm going to find someone to save you, and ran out barefoot. It's a pity that I don't know what the man's name is, where he lives, the snow in those days was very heavy, and I looked at the white snow all over the mountain, and I looked for a long time, but I didn't see a person. By the time I ran back to the hut, my mother's body had stiffened, and by that time, I had already understood what death was. I didn't cry, I sat on the edge of the bed and thought about a lot of things, and my mother said that my father was killed before I was born, and who was the one who killed my father, and we have no other relatives? Why did my mother take me to live in this ghost place for so many years, we could have the opportunity to live in the market, and at the worst we could live in a small village, but I don't understand, I really don't understand. ”

"I kowtowed to my mother a few times, and then a fire burned down along with the wooden house, burning everything, and I was wearing only a few rags on my body, and slowly walked deeper into the mountains. I think it's funny when I think about it now, and I haven't encountered a monster for a few days. Later, on one night, the moon was exceptionally bright that day, and I had never seen such a clean night sky. I leaned against a cedar tree and admired the silver whiteness of the sky. Later, I met Master and Master, as well as Xiao Yu who had just been born in their arms, and for the next sixteen years, I have been living in the Heavenly Demon Palace. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Wuling's face was calm, and there was no sadness: "I don't know what kind of relationship you promise Ling to have with my mother, telling you this, just to let you know that my mother is not a water-based Yanghua woman in your mouth." I have lived in the Heavenly Demon Palace since I was a child, and it is my home, with my family. ”

She flipped up a teacup and poured out a glass of water, then pulled out the dagger in her arms, slashed her index finger, and slowly dripped a few drops of blood from her fingertips, and then she left the cabin without looking back.

These words, every sentence and every word are like a knife, deeply cutting the heart of Promise Ling. He stepped forward, looked at the blood that was about to melt, and then stretched out his finger, and the fingertip automatically split a small wound, and a few drops of blood flowed out. Staring at this glass of water, Promise Ling looked at it for a long time. Then he smiled miserably, and his hand lightly touched the table, and the teacup suddenly burst, and the bloody water in it splashed everywhere.

At some point, Huang Yu appeared in the cabin, he leaned against the plank, his head lowered, his long blue hair hanging down, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"I want to take her back to Lingxiao Dao. The promise said.

There was only one candle in the cabin, and a moth was dangling around the candlelight, and it seemed to want to get close to the candlelight, but as soon as it approached, it immediately retreated, and so on and so on for an unknown number of times.

"Not long after I was born, my sister has been with me and taken care of me. I remember when I was a child, I was very naughty and willful, and I always loved to play tricks on her, and even took a bath with her, but my sister never got angry with me and scolded me. When I was six years old, I was secretly trained by two old men in the family, and I suffered every night, and a year later, when I was seven years old, I already had the strength of a giant gate. One day in Xiaofeng Mountain, there were only two people, my sister and me, and I wanted her to take me to cultivate in the mountains and find low-level demon beasts, and my sister was only able to survive at that time. She advised me not to go deeper, but I didn't listen and preached deeply, because the demon beasts on the periphery were really weak. ”

"That's it, I went all the way in, and the strong smell of blood attracted a troll lizard, I was startled, knowing that I couldn't beat this big guy, my sister immediately pulled me out, but that thing chased after us, we couldn't escape at all, and then my sister grabbed my hand and threw me out heavily, fighting the big lizard alone, she knew that she couldn't beat it, so she just wanted to give me a time to escape. Although the two sides are at the same level, my sister's attack can't even hurt it. I was stupidly stunned, afraid to leave, afraid that my sister would be alone. When she saw that I was still there, I was distracted, and I was swept away by the tail of the big lizard, and I was stupefied, but fortunately my grandfather arrived in time at that time. ”

"That night, my mother also heard the news and rushed to see that I had been sitting on the edge of the bed guarding my sister, comforting me and saying don't worry too much, she can guarantee that my sister is okay. That night, I insisted on guarding my sister, and my mother accompanied me and told me many stories about my sister, including her life with Aunt Xia Yu in the Broken Heng Mountains. After hearing this, I blamed myself even more for being willful, and vowed never to make my sister sad from now on. Fortunately, in the early hours of the morning, my sister finally woke up, and the first time she saw me, she said, 'Xiao Yu, are you okay', hearing this, I cried on the spot, she touched my head, told me not to worry, said that I was fine, and it would be fine after a few days of rest, but I was in bed for half a month, and this was still in the case of Tianfeng Wu using the top elixir. ”

"One day, when I was taking a bath, I suddenly found that my sister no longer washed with me, only helped me wash on the side, I asked her why, she said Xiao Yu, you are grown up now, my sister can no longer take a bath with you, I was still naïve thinking, why can't I take a bath together when I grow up? When I was twelve years old, I had never shown my strength in public at that time, and I was also very low-key in the Heavenly Demon Academy. But at that time, I can say unceremoniously that under the broken army, there is absolutely no one who is my opponent. I still remember the death day of my sister and mother, that night, I was practicing in the Hinfeng Mountain, taking advantage of my grandfather's absence, I flew to the edge of the Broken Heng Mountain Range, and killed all the robbers around me, that was the first time I killed someone, a total of 381 people died in my hands, and none of the robbers escaped, including their young children and old and weak women. My sister doesn't know about this until now, and I'm telling you this so that you can understand that I don't allow anyone in this world to hurt my sister, and I will never allow anyone to do what she doesn't want to do, even if it's the first person in the Xianmen, she can't. ”

At this point, the murderous intent filled the cabin. The lonely boat swaying on the surface of the lake suddenly stopped, and the flame on the candlelight also stopped.

I looked at him for a while, didn't speak, and left the cabin to pursue Xia Wuling.

Only Promise Ling was left alone, he closed his eyes, and no one saw the two lines of tears. He didn't chase after him, but went to sell ducks.

Liu Yazi was sitting in the courtyard, leisurely looking at the night sky, as if waiting for someone.

Liu Yazi said: "You're here." ”

Promise Ling didn't answer, so Liu Yazi continued: "Seventy years ago, I used to treat you as my most respected big brother. ”

"You're also my best little brother. ”

"But after that, I made a decision to let you cut off my robe, and I don't blame you, for I have regarded you as my big brother in my heart for the past seventy years. I know that you have not recognized me as a little brother since, because you have never asked me a question for seventy years. ”

"But here I am. ”

"I know you're here, and I know you're here to ask the truth of a thing, but I won't let you ask, because you're Promise Ling, it's my eldest brother, and I won't let you go against your original words. Speaking of this, Liu Yazi sighed heavily: "That girl named Xia Yu has never done anything to be sorry for you, and the three elders of Yangyuexing are not wrong, the three of them are all for Ling Xiaodao, because they can't let you be with an ordinary peasant woman." ”

In the past seventy years, the original sentence has made Promise Ling persist until now, no matter what the problem is, he will solve it by himself, but now, he still walked in front of Liu Banxian.

"You didn't ask me anything, we just made small talk. Liu Yazi's whole body was trembling, but no one would think he looked funny at this time. He said this only because Promise Ling had always been the person he respected the most in his heart.

Promise Ling didn't say a word, returned to Ling Xiaodao, and came to the residence of the three elders, and the three elders had not rested, and they also looked at the starry sky in the courtyard together.

"Door master, you don't rest at such a late hour. "Yang Lao Dao.

"Ling Er has seen three uncles. The promise was a blessing.

"You are already the master of Lingxiao Dao, so there is no need to be so polite to us. ”

"The three of them will always be Ling Er's respectable people, after his father died in battle, Ling Xiaodao was also fortunate to have the full support of the three elders, I promise that Ling and Ling Xiaodao can have today. ”

"The old master is very kind to us, and what we do is what we should do. ”

"Therefore, Ling Er is here to ask the three uncles to tell Ling Er the truth, is the scene that Xia Yu let me see at the beginning, and what the three of them said, true?"

Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other, sighed, and finally reached a consensus.

Xing Lao said: "We know that this matter has been bothering you for more than 20 years, and now at this point in time, you come to ask us, you must already know the truth, I just hope we can be honest, yes, everything at the beginning was a play that we begged Xia Yu to play together, and I only hope you can give up on her." But everything we do is for you and Ling Xiao. ”

"Understood, I don't blame the third uncle, it's not early, Ling Er went back to the room to rest. ”

Seeing the sad figure of Promise Ling leaving, the three elders were thinking at the same time, was it right to do this at the beginning?

Xia Wuling sat in front of a cliff, holding his feet in deep thought. I walked over to her and sat down with her.

"Do you already know everything? ”

"Hmm. I nodded.

"I knew that at noon in Lingxiao Dao, I couldn't hide it from you at all, I guess you just suspected it at that time, and the specific situation was told to you by the duck seller. ”

"How do you know?"

"When I went into the kitchen to clean up, I didn't hear a word of your conversation outside, under normal circumstances, with my cultivation, it is impossible not to hear what you are saying, presumably a soundproof barrier has been arranged. You rarely hide anything from me, and since you don't want me to know about the conversation, it can only be about me. ”

I was shocked, so sensitive.

"It's nothing, it's all gone, aren't we living a good life now? Hey, I've been pillowing on you since I was a child, and this time I'll make an exception to give you my shoulder. ”

Xia Wuling grinned and leaned into Huang Yu's arms, she seemed to have a good rest for a while.

"It's so comfortable, it's so good to lean on someone else, is it only this time?"

"From now on, you can lean on as much as you want, and my shoulder will only be for you. I didn't know why I said that, was it really just for her? I remember at that time, I didn't want to lose her, I didn't want her to be sad, I didn't want her to leave me like that.

Quietly looking at the night sky, I heard the old man say that the stars in the sky will use tears to show you the story, and you should feel it with your heart.

"Three seconds, it's either disappearing right away or appearing right away. ”

Xia Wuling was stunned for a moment, looking at Huang Yu's face, faintly revealing killing intent.

Behind the two, a figure slowly appeared: "It is worthy of Huang Yu's son of the Heavenly Demon Palace, the villain was discovered by you as soon as he approached." ”

I didn't look back: "I didn't call you out to listen to your flattering nonsense. ”

"The villain is the person who invited the Moon Pavilion, because he was entrusted by Lianyun Villa a few days ago to issue the Baiyun Order. As he spoke, he took out a brass plaque with a white cloud depicted on it.

I got up and turned around, took it and saw that it was really Bai Yunling.

Xia Wuling asked, "What's the use of this White Cloud Order?"

"This is the Taoist Conference held by Lianyun Villa, it has been held twice before, with an interval of thirty years, because Lianyun Villa is a neutral force, so each session will invite the disciples of the three sects of immortals, demons and demons, and the sects that are invited are only allowed to participate in two people, and they are all the petites of the younger generation in each sect. Explaining this, I asked the visitor, "What sects have been invited this time?" ”

"There are only the Seven Evil Families of the Demon Gate and the Ten Famous Families of the Immortal Gate. ”

I frowned: "There are no people from the Demon Gate?"

"No, because the distance between the Hundred Flowers Valley, the Xuanyuan Palace, and the Yunxiao Pavilion is relatively long, and the disciples still need to be given a period of time to prepare after the news is transmitted, so this Baiyun Conference is scheduled for September 20, more than three months later. ”

"September 20, September 18 is your seventeenth birthday, one day is enough time for you to rush to Lianyun Villa. ”

"Your birthday is also included, isn't there two places, and you will go with me when the time comes. ”

"I don't want to go, I just want to stay in the Heavenly Demon Palace, and I won't go anywhere. ”

I nodded, "Okay, I'll go alone." ”

"In addition, my young lady also asked me to convey one thing to my son, the reward of this Baiyun Conference is the white jade spirit, because this has also created some outsiders who are ready to move, including ghost killing, urging grandma, and Lian Meeting. ”

My face sank: "The Lian Jian you said is the tenth in the world spectrum of the Yin and Yang Lian Meeting." ”

"Yes, if there are no other problems, then the villain will retire. ”

"That Lu Na is quite enthusiastic about you, is this Lian Jian more terrible than ghost killing?"

"Well, it's tenth, of course, it's not easy. In terms of spectrum, in addition to the top three, there are several particularly tricky ones, Soul Eater, My Grandfather, Ghost Slayer, Urging Grandma, and Lu Na are all one of them, and Lian Jian is the most tricky one of the information I have, he is still Lian Yunbai's only son. What's even more interesting is that the third piece of white jade spirit is actually in Lianyun Villa, and it is also used as a reward for this Baiyun Conference. ”

"It's not very dangerous. ”

"That's the challenge. ”

"I don't want to think so much, let's go back to the Heavenly Demon Palace and relax for a few months, hehe. ”
