On the southwest border of the rich Yunfeng Kingdom of the Heavenly Sword Continent, the vast Qinling Mountains are divided into two here, and a natural canyon winds through the entire Qinling Mountains from northeast to southwest, which is called Longyang Valley, and becomes the only passage connecting the hinterland of the Central Plains with the 100,000 mountains of the southwest wilderness.

At the end of this canyon, a huge city was established, named Kaiyang Pass, more than 100 years ago, Yunfeng country built this majestic fortress city with the strength of the whole country, mainly to resist the burning and plundering of the barbarian people through the Longyang Valley deep into the Yunfeng country, as well as the attack of the barbarian beast, but after the defeat of the sword witch and the wilderness, Kaiyang Pass was taken over by the three major gods of Cidu, Shenjian and Xiaoyang, and became the first line of the Central Plains sword sects to encircle and suppress the barbarian sword and witch.

The whole Kaiyang Pass is divided into two city walls inside and outside, the outer city wall directly facing the wild Heze is as high as 60 zhang, and the back city wall is also more than ten zhang high, the city wall made of two cyan boulders before and after stretches for thousands of meters and is connected on the steep cliffs on both sides of Longyang Valley, forming a wide city in the middle, there are pieces of houses and blocks inside, countless flags are grinning on the city wall, respectively, the white water pattern flag, the golden sword flag, and the red flame flag, all rolling gold borders, highlighting the respect of the Divine Sect. Standing under the Kaiyang Pass, looking up from the bottom, the clouds and fog can not surround the city, and from the south to the north, it is gloomy and dark and there is no end in sight. Kaiyang Pass is like a terrifying monster that has no end in sight, choking the throat of the barbaric sword witch returning to the hinterland of the Central Plains, and at the same time guarding the peace of the people of the Central Plains for a hundred years.

In the past, it was said that the sergeants wearing thick armor and solemn expressions in Kaiyang Pass had already disarmed and returned to the field, and were replaced by a group of handsome and elegant sword cultivators, but this did not bring a trace of relaxation to Kaiyang Pass, and the kind of solemn sadness, as if the gloomy atmosphere near the Ghost Gate Pass was finally filled inside and outside Kaiyang Pass.

As soon as you enter the Kaiyang Pass, you want to break your soul.

Here, the disciples of the various sects who come to take turns to suppress witches, from the day you enter Kaiyang Pass, there is only one way out, and that is the front door road of the 100,000 mountains in the southwest. If you want to go out and return to the sect from the back door of the northeast, it is only possible if you have two conditions, one is to suppress witches for three years, and at the same time have 50 contribution points, and the other is that you have reached 500 contribution points in advance, otherwise after three years, Kaiyang Pass will no longer be responsible for any of your food and clothing supply.

In addition to the disciples of Xuanzong Taizong Jizong in the five regions of the Central Plains who are on duty every three years, the three major divine sects have sent people to garrison and send elite disciples to Heze outside Kaiyang Pass to raid and suppress witches, and at the same time, they also take into account the supervision and guidance of the Xuanzong Taizong Jizong disciples on duty to enter Heze. To be precise, the disciples of Xuanzong Taizong are generally the pioneers, the disciples of the Jizong are the main force, and the Shenzong is the supervisor.

Here, the cruel living environment and the comrades who fall by your side every day make people sad to the point of numbness and gradually forget joy, and then have a disregard for life, the enemy's... Comrades-in-arms... Or even their own.

Of course, there are also some heroes here every year who have outstanding achievements in witch suppression, which make people cheer and worship, perhaps only from them, those weak registered disciples, can find a trace of revenge pleasure, and squeeze out a strange smile on the face of the stiff and numb zombie in the depression, and recite it with relish.

In the last three years, such a hero has belonged to one woman, and in the last month, another woman has been added.

One is the female disciple of the Burning Yang Ji Sect on the coast of the East China Sea, Hua Hong, this long and charming disciple of the Ji Sect who is known as a demon girl with a capricious surname, she saved enough five hundred contribution points enough to leave after entering the Kaiyang Pass three years ago, but she did not leave and returned to the Burning Yang Ji Sect, but chose to continue to stay in Heze to suppress witches, and the contribution value obtained was not to exchange the pill sword technique sword weapon from the Zongfang Sect opened by the Divine Sect, but to bring the same one, still alive, The contribution value did not reach the same master and sister, whether it was registered or closed, the disciples were sent out of Kaiyang Pass one by one and embarked on the road back to their hometown.

"Before my master died, I promised her that I would never abandon any of my sisters at any time and under any circumstances. Every time she sent the senior sisters who raised enough contribution points out of the customs, the bonus always said to the senior sisters who were crying and holding her hand and refused to let go.

Gradually... Everyone who is stranded in Kaiyang Pass knows why Hua Hong did this, Hua Hong's master is also the head of the previous Burning Yang Pole Sect, and the meridians of the whole body burst and died when he practiced the exercises, and the new head of the Burning Sun Sect could not tolerate the existence of the previous head of the sect, so he took the opportunity of taking turns to suppress witches in Heze, and sent Hua Hong and other thousands of former head sects to Heze.

This is the cruel monk world, once the powerful chicken and dog ascend to heaven, and if you lose power, you are like an ant, others will only sympathize with you or sneer at you, and will never easily meddle in the internal disputes of the sect.

Hua Hong, but with her persistence and her actions, she sang a song of touching deeds in the Kaiyang Pass like a walking corpse, and she became a well-deserved hero.

But a month ago, a woman riding a white cat and singing a song, broke into the lifeless Kaiyang Pass, with her fairy-like beautiful face always showing a smile, with her very infectious singing voice, like a kind spring breeze, blowing away the clouds that permeate the city of Kaiyang all the year round, her soul-piercing singing, cleansing the hearts of everyone who is alive here, but can not see the hope of life, bringing a moment of peace to them who are intoxicated in the song, as if they have drifted up with the song of Qingyang, crawling over the high wall that imprisons the body, floating higher and farther, indulging in the song to feel the long-lost freedom。

This is an indescribable beauty that goes straight to the depths of your soul and makes you fulfill your long-cherished wish in the song, as if you are indulged in the song and see the peaceful smiling faces of your lover and loved ones.

When she climbed halfway up to the city wall with the white cat in her arms every day, and sang through the deep hole in the city wall, everyone was fascinated.

If you're lucky enough to hear it, you can only say it's perfect.

The only regret is that she only sings one song every day, just a song, she will be diligent to everyone who returns from Heze injured people, free medicine to heal, too many injured people, although her medicine is very fierce and uncomfortable, but it has a miraculous effect, soon the medicine she brought was used up, so she begged the people who went out to kill witches, and brought back some herbs for her, and she made some simple pills to continue to save people.

Few people could refuse her request, and some even gave her the elixir that could be exchanged for contribution points, just to let her stay here a little longer, everyone here is far more afraid of losing her than they are afraid of losing their most relied on comrades.

Her smiling face, her singing, her bodhisattva-like heart, infected everyone here, and in their hearts, she was a fairy from below.

"Little sister, why are you here?" The question is Huaqing, it is Huahong's senior sister, Huahong's oath is to send all the living peers out of the customs, Huaqing is not so noble, her oath is that Huahong will not go out of the customs, she will not go out of the customs.

At this moment, the whole body is gray and the hair is burned and curled, and the whole body is like a scorched wood flower, it is difficult for people to imagine the fair and graceful face when they came out of the customs three days ago, the flower was unfortunately hit by a thunder fire of the sword witch yesterday, and the fair skin on the face was burned and a layer of blisters arose, and at this moment Nishang was applying medicine to her cheeks.

"Because my lover is coming here. With a touch of pity in her eyes, Nishang replied in a sweet tone.

"Men don't have a good thing, you're so naïve, you came here for a man. "The flower that was once hurt by love is full of hatred.

"Sister Huaqing, you're right, so I call him the bad guy, because he doesn't allow me to accompany him here, and I know that if I stay by his side, he must have a way to make me not come here, so I came here to wait for him first!"

Huaqing opened her mouth and didn't speak again.

All the people who are still stranded in Kaiyang Pass remember her, Tianqi Taizong, Ji Nishang. They all know why Ni Shang is here, because the lover she has promised to die in her life is coming here.

Many years ago, Yun Jing used the method of openly insulting Yuncheng's master every day to make all the disciples of Yuncheng remember Di Yunchen, who was imprisoned in the ancestral hall of the Grandmaster and was almost destined to be forgotten in the future.

Today, many years later, Ni Shang, with her smiling face, her singing voice, and her bodhisattva-like heart, let everyone in Kaiyangguan know in advance that there is such a woman, just for the man she loves, came to Kaiyangguan in advance, and there is such a man who prevents her beloved woman from going on the road with him, and she wants to come to Kaiyangguan, where the future is unpredictable, to participate in Heze's witch suppression.

Who is he?

When Di Yunchen was still on the road, there were thousands of people here, who were already looking forward to him, wanting to see what a different man he was.

In Longyang Valley, a group of horse teams are slowly walking towards the city wall behind Kaiyang Pass, and the disciples of the Northwest Regions who participated in the Heze Witch Eradication finally came here from Xihua Mountain after two months.

Yunchen lifted the curtain, looking at the gloomy sky, the quaint and heavy city wall connecting the cliffs on both sides, a gloomy and dignified aura came to his face, and he said in his heart: Has it finally arrived?

Yun Jing squeezed over, poked her head out of Yunchen's shoulder, and looked at everything around curiously, the cliffs on both sides of Longyang Valley were covered with thick moss and vines, and the clear sky along the way became gloomy here, making her feel irritated out of thin air, she suddenly pointed to the city wall thousands of kilometers away and shouted: "Ah, I see Ni Xiang." ”

Yunchen lowered the curtain and sat back in the car, nodding.

"Liars. Yun Jing sneered, "Can you see that far away?"

Yun Chen looked at Yun Jing with fixed eyes, "Do you want to make a bet, she must be there, and she is doing well." ”

Yun Jing's eyes rolled, "I won't bet with you, if you lose the bet, you will let me stay in the city honestly, and I will not be allowed to go out with you." After Yun Jing finished speaking, he looked at Yun Chen's instantly defeated face, and grinned proudly, along the way, Yun Chen always tried his best to let Yun Jing stay in the city obediently, and he went out to get her contribution points, but Yun Jing really knew him too well, and he was not fooled, which made Yun Chen feel helpless for the first time.

Half an hour later, the horse team of more than 2,000 people finally walked to the Kaiyang Pass, and the elders who accompanied the leaders of each sect entered the pass first, looking for the person in charge of the Divine Sect in the city, reporting the names of the disciples of each sect, arranging accommodation, etc., after completing all the necessary procedures, more than 2,000 people could enter the customs.

Ni Shang had already heard the news and climbed up to the battlement in the center of the back city wall, standing on it anxiously searching down, she saw six red ropes, and also saw Yutai Yongjun, but there was no Yunchen's figure, Ni Shang couldn't help but get anxious, when she saw that it fell on the last carriage, Yun Jing got out of the carriage station and waved to her on the top of the carriage, Ni Shang showed a relieved smile, she knew, Yun Chen was in the carriage at Yun Jing's feet, he was always so hard.

"Bad guys!" Although separated by a wall, Nishang and Yunchen, who are separated by a city wall at this moment, are like the end of the world, Nishang has already reported his name in advance, and before he has accumulated enough contribution points, he will be directly killed by the disciples of the Divine Sect on duty after closing the door without authorization, Ni Shang, can only call in vain in his heart.

By Nishang's side, more than a thousand people who were still stranded in the city also looked down from afar, this time they were not looking at the way home, nor were they laughing at the new disciples who were still full of excitement here like a ghost gate, but wanted to see who the man in Nishang was.

After more than half an hour, the elders of each sect came out with a bunch of white nameplates, handed them out to each disciple according to the markers, and began to explain the use of the nameplates. This nameplate allows the disciples who participate in the witch suppression to enjoy the food and clothing provided by the castle for free in the next three years and some simple treatment, and also records your contribution value, when this white nameplate is not replaced with gold, you can only close the door before you go out and cannot close the door after returning home, after changing to gold, it means that your contribution value is enough, and you can freely enter and exit the door before and after closing without restrictions.

After the nameplate was distributed, the thick and wide bronze gate in the center of the back gate was slowly opened, the horses and vehicles were isolated, and all the disciples carried their luggage and held the nameplate in their hands under the supervision of the Divine Sect people, and entered the customs one by one.

At this moment, a kind of extremely sad singing voice floated down from the city wall, making those disciples who were entering the customs in a daze and full of excitement were dyed by the singing, and a solemn sadness appeared on their faces after hiding their smiles.

That day, the long sword fell from my hand, I left, did you think there, I forgot you, I won't hurt anymore, you see the other side of the flower blooming, a piece of red like fire, obviously growing together, but with the leaves, it is born and missed, for thousands of years, you guarded me, but refused to say that you are always mine, who am I, you see the other side of the flower bloomed, quietly red like a spark, it evokes memories and reminds me of the promise, you see the other side of the flower bloomed, gently you walked by, the next time you appeared in front of you, do you still remember my outline, you see the other side of the flower blooming, warm red like fire, the original love is so profound, so I can't forget in my life, you see the other side of the flower blooming, piece by piece red like fire, always at this time, remember those things that should be said, haven't said it, you see the other side of the flower is hotFierce red as fire, your eyes are so lonely, my heart hurts a little bit, you see the flowers blooming on the other side, quietly red like fire, I left again and again, and I didn't even give you a hug.......

At this moment, everyone was confused by this song, the disciples of the Divine Sect looked blankly at the monks who were holding the nameplate and were also stunned, and their arrogant and disdainful eyes also became soft and sad at this moment, even the monks who were patrolling the city and were on high alert at the moment when the sword witches of the embankment attacked from the cliffs on both sides were also confused by this song and relaxed their guard, and they looked down as if they remembered some of their sad past.

Yun Rong stood behind Yun Jing and helped her cover her ears, because Yun Jing covered Yun Chen's ears, "This neon dress is too disappointing, every time we meet, I sing some songs of crying death, I cover Brother Xinchen's ears, so that he can't hear it, and I'm angry with you." Yun Jing said.

But after Yunchen walked into the city, he left everyone to meet the tearful gaze of Ni Shang, and walked alone along the stone steps towards the city wall, at this moment, the originally gloomy and gray sky suddenly floated a white cloud from the cliff in the south, this white cloud fell rapidly, when there was a wind and air current, this white cloud has become two huge white cranes with a length of four meters.

The disciples of the Divine Sect on duty on the city wall woke up from the singing of the neon clothes, and their faces suddenly changed, and they shouted loudly: "The enemy is attacking the enemy, it is the sword witch's Optimus Crane, the people below are hiding, hide quickly." ”

In an instant, in the city of Kaiyangguan, which was still silent like water and only singing, there was a "boom" in chaos, and the new monks didn't understand what was going on and stayed in place stupidly, and the monks who stayed here hurriedly ran to the nearest stone house under the city, and the ones on the city wall squeezed each other and ran down the steps of the city wall, and some masters directly performed light skills and jumped down the city.

"Brother Xinchen... Brother Xinchen!" Yun Jing shouted anxiously at the top of her throat, but her voice was muffled by a louder noise.

In this bustling and messy flow of people, Yunchen went upstream, step by step to the white cat with tears hanging on his eyelashes, holding the white cat with the hair on his whole body standing up as the sky was rapidly descending, staring at the Nishang who was walking step by step.

Nishang opened her mouth and just spit out the word "bad guy", but Yunchen had already turned her head and looked at the Optimus Crane in the air, and then, with a "whoosh" of the white cat, she ran away from Ni Shang's arms very unrighteously, and Ni Shang's empty hand was pulled behind by Yunchen's slightly cold left hand, "Don't be afraid!"

So Nishang saw that Yunchen's right hand was already on the hilt of the sword, and from a long time ago, Nishang believed that Yunchen could protect her, and still believes in it.

In the next moment, in a pleasant crane sound, more than ten dragon cranes with a length of three meters and a gray-brown body flew up from the towers on the high outer city wall, carrying the disciples of the Divine Sect with swords one by one, and flew quickly towards the two white optimus cranes that were still falling.

It's just that the body of the Optimus Crane seems to be larger than the dragon crane ridden by the sword cultivator, but it has been domesticated by the sword witch with extraordinary flexibility, as soon as it hears the sound of the sword, it spun rapidly and falls, occasionally one or two sword qi or sword rays hit the body, and it was only splashed with a ball of feathers, and there was no blood.

"This, do you want to poke your asshole too?" Yun Chen's eyes squinted slightly and stared at the Optimus Crane in the air that was still falling in the pursuit of the sword cultivator, so Yun Chen probably knew that the sword witch dragged on the two Optimus Cranes was afraid that they were deliberately here to send them to death, in order to give their group of new sword cultivators a dismount.

Ni Shang smiled, clasped Yunchen's left hand and replied: "I heard Sister Huaqing say that the Optimus Crane is a ground-level high-level primordial beast, and the feathers on its back and wings can withstand the attack of the sword, but the abdomen under the neck is relatively soft, and the monks who have fused the sword soul can cause damage to it." ”

As soon as Nishang leaned out of Yunchen's back after speaking, she heard a thunderous roar, and then a dense fireball...
