Lin Ming's last stop in Qingsang City was to go to the Lin Family Restaurant where his parents were in Qingsang City for his family.

But at this time, this restaurant is no longer a restaurant, it is no longer open, but is offered.

This restaurant is the treasure of the Lin family, and outsiders can't even visit it if they go in to eat.

Even every generation of emperors of the Heavenly Fortune Kingdom, when they came to Qingsang City, they could only pay homage from afar.

In the Kingdom of Heavenly Fortune, in fact, what the Lin family represents is similar to divine power, which is above the imperial power and cannot be surpassed.

Seeing this restaurant that he couldn't even enter, Lin Ming seemed to have lost interest in revisiting his hometown all of a sudden.

The meaning of the word "therefore" in the old place is that it was once and as it was.

Revisiting the old place, what you see is not that place, what you see, what you see, is the memories there.

When the Lin Family Restaurant was no longer the same, but completely changed its meaning, Lin Ming no longer wanted to go in.

Because, there, the memories of the past can't be retrieved after all......

Lin Ming left, left Qingsang City, and also left the Heavenly Fortune Country......

Do the math, since Lin Ming was sucked away by Shengmei's origin soul power, it has been seven or eight years now.

Lin Ming felt that his cultivation was getting worse day by day, although because of the little origin soul power preserved in his body, his body would not age, but the fire of life that was too weak could not be called at all, and it could not carry the huge energy and cultivation in his body.

Slowly, these forces dissipated.

He began to weaken.

He made his way north, passing through the villages. Walked to the Northern Grasslands.

It's not as peaceful here as the Heavenly Fortune Country.

The soldiers are in chaos, fighting all year round, Lin Ming walks on the street, and can feel the panic in the hearts of the pedestrians on the street, they often wrap their headscarves tightly, their steps are hurried, and their expressions are nervous.

War, famine, and plague are probably the three most terrible things for mortals.

And in the event of a war, famine. It can also spread.

this day. It was snowing heavily.

Lin Ming walked into a deep mountain, it was getting late, he couldn't see the road ahead, and the snow on the flat ground could reach his knees. If it's a snow nest in the mountains. It is quite possible to swallow a living person.

Lin Ming glanced at the white ridge under the night. He wanted to climb the mountain, but suddenly, he felt an inexplicable cold hit him. He couldn't help but shudder.

Although Lin Ming's cultivation was a big drop, he would not be unable to stand the cold on this snowy mountain, in fact, even if the strongest ice martial artist in the Tianyan Continent made a move against Lin Ming, Lin Ming would not feel anything.

But today, he was inexplicably cold.

This seemed to come from the coldness of the soul, which made Lin Ming unbearable.

He knew that this was the wound that Shengmei had left on his body, which was almost incurable, and ...... It will only get heavier and heavier, and eventually, it will kill itself.

He covered the snow-capped mountains with his senses, trying to find a place to settle down and rest.

But this time the search made Lin Ming's heart shocked, and he ...... Seeing a person, someone he knew, although the other party's appearance had changed greatly, however, Lin Ming still recognized him.

There are too many shadows of the past in his appearance, and his saber has not changed for more than 130 years......

......

"What the hell is the weather!"

"I'm in a hurry on a snowy night, I want people's lives, and I don't know if it will freeze His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

The two youths complained in a low voice, their voices were so small that they couldn't reach far in the winds of a snowy night.

"Don't even say it, we must find the little princess in three days, and then evacuate here and go to our base, stay for a long time, and we will definitely be discovered by the white guards." ”

So said an old man, with a hat and a child in his arms.

He wrapped himself in a trench coat, tried his best to cover the trembling child in his arms, and hurried away with his head bowed.

"What if you can't find it?" said a young man worriedly......

"I can't find it, it's providential......" The old man sighed and shook his head, "If I'm not mistaken, the cave where we settled last year is just in front, and there may be some hay and firewood in it, so let's rest there tonight." ”

As he spoke, the old man searched for his way through the snow, and his memory was very good, and after about a quarter of an hour, he did indeed lead the people to the cave in his memory.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they could still bear it when they climbed the mountain in a snowy night, but the child in their arms was afraid that they would not be able to stand it.

A few people hurried into the cave, shook off the snow on their bodies, and took off their hats.

Although it was cold in the cave, it was dry, and as the old man remembered, there was indeed hay and firewood.

They were going to make a fire out of firewood.

And when they lit the torches and illuminated the cave, they were suddenly shocked and retreated.

With the sound of "Click!", these people drew their weapons together!

Because, in this cave, there is another person, the other party has an emerald green mask, and the expression carved by the mask is extremely indifferent, and the other party has no sound at all, nor does it exude momentum, so that before they enter the cave, they are unaware.

"Who are you?"

These people are extremely vigilant, because they are being pursued by the white guards.

In this snowy mountain, a mysterious person suddenly appeared, making them feel like a great enemy.

"Passerby ......"

Lin Ming said silently, his eyes focused on the old man in this team.

This old man looks like he is the age of a sixtieth birthday, and his face is engraved with the wind and frost of the years, but from the outline of his face, he can vaguely see that he was a little heroic when he was young.

The old man had only one arm, a head of gorgeous hair, a white beard, and a deep scar on his face, which almost split the entire face from the center of his eyebrows to his neck.

Although he was extremely vigilant at this time, Lin Ming still felt a deep tiredness from his expression. His slightly dirty eyes were bloodshot, and he hadn't slept properly in days.

At this time, while the old man confronted Lin Ming with a sword, he also carried the child in front of him behind him and protected the child with his body. And this child is extremely sensible, on such an occasion, he does not cry or make trouble, he lies quietly on the old man's back, looking at Lin Ming.

Lin Ming moved his body slightly, and the shadow of the tired old man in front of him slowly overlapped with another shadow in Lin Ming's mind.

The shadow, dressed in a fine garment, with a golden crown on his head. Wear a delicate long sword at your waist. His appearance is full of heroism, and the corners of his mouth often seem to have a faint hint of disdain and mockery.

If it weren't for the Chiyan Sword wrapped in the old snake's skin in the old man's hand, if it weren't for the fire system true yuan on his body that Lin Ming felt familiar.

Lin Ming really couldn't believe it. This old man. turned out to be his old enemy in the past - Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan. At the beginning of Qingsang City, he snatched his first love, Lan Yunyue.

Later, Lin Ming was determined to enter the Seven Xuanwu Mansion. With a small amount of entanglement, he went to Tianyun City to participate in the assessment, because he met Zhu Yan by chance when he signed up, and as a result, Zhu Yan's friend privately sent someone to drive Lin Ming out of the residence in order to please Zhu Yan.

Later, Lin Ming's cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, until he showed his value, so that the royal family of Tianyun City noticed Lin Ming and desperately tried to win him over.

And Zhu Yan suffered a lot of pressure and exclusion because he had a grudge against Lin Ming.

Even his master, Yang Zhen, the tenth prince, began to persecute Zhu Yan for his throne and forced him to take a leave of absence from Lan Yunyue.

In the end, Zhu Yan was defeated by Lin Ming, whether it was for the Zhu family or the Ten Princes, Zhu Yan not only completely lost his value, but became a burden.

As a result, Zhu Yan was expelled.

Since then, Lin Ming has never seen Zhu Yan again, and it has been more than one hundred and thirty years.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ming saw Zhu Yan again today, and Zhu Yan was already like this.

The scar on his face, his one-armed, his old, tired face......

Even, Lin Ming could see that he had a secret injury on his body, and he might even have affected his martial arts path because of this injury.

This qiē allowed Lin Ming to imagine how many vicissitudes Zhu Yan had experienced over the years.

"You...... Know me?"

Zhu Yan noticed Lin Ming's eyes, and his heart was shocked.

Lin Ming didn't answer, he leaned against the rock wall, there was some hay under him, and at this time, he still felt the cold to the bone.

The pain from his soul was too much for him to bear.

He ...... He seemed to be trembling. Someone looked at Lin Ming and whispered.

"Is it freezing?"

People thought it was a little ridiculous, originally a masked man who suddenly appeared here, thinking that he was a peerless master who came to assassinate them, but now, he was shaking so badly, it seemed that he couldn't stand the cold wind in the mountains.

"Scared me, I thought it was a master......"

"Don't take it lightly!"

Several people chose the farthest corner from Lin Ming, sat down carefully, and kept paying attention to Lin Ming.

"Elder Yan, do you say that we ...... this person" a person said cautiously in the True Yuan Transmission Voice, "Before our conversation, he didn't know if he heard ......"

"The snow is strong and the wind is strong, he can't hear it, if he can hear it, it proves that his cultivation is far above us, in that case, if we do something with him, he will kill him, so ...... Don't get into trouble, this person is of unknown origin, although he looks sick, but for some reason, I feel a little strange when I look at him. ”

Zhu Yan said slowly, he no longer uses this name, and his current name has only one word - "Yan".

A group of people lit a bonfire, roasted around the fire, ate dry food bacon, drank water, and were always vigilant against Lin Ming.

The boy in Zhu Yan's arms was very quiet from beginning to end, and he blinked a pair of eyes and looked at Lin Ming.

Lin Ming noticed that on the boy's chest, there was an inconspicuous-looking bronze medal hanging with red silk thread, and a petal-like pattern was engraved on the bronze medal.

Zhu Yan seemed to realize something, and he unhurriedly stuffed the bronze medal in front of the boy into the boy's collar......

After eating, Zhu Yan began to close his eyes and recuperate, but his attention was always focused on Lin Ming.

For some reason, the more he looked at this person, the more he felt a strange feeling, but he couldn't say what this feeling was.

Lin Ming also paid attention to Zhu Yan, for more than one hundred and thirty years, the world has changed, thinking of the domineering young man back then, it is difficult for Lin Ming to imagine that a person can have such a change......

What they were saying outside the cave just now, Lin Ming heard it. Apparently, these people are looking for royal children.

Lin Ming has been crossing the Northern Desert these days, and he has probably guessed the cause and effect.

It was a war of mortal nations, one country was destroyed by another, the royal family fled the capital, and the princes and princesses were separated......

And Zhu Yan, leading his subordinates to find these royal orphans, is obviously a very dangerous task.

If you are not careful, you will be killed by the enemy.

Lin Ming felt. Zhu Yan is not doing a qiē for the sake of glory and wealth. Because Zhu Yan's lifespan is not long. For Zhu Yan's current realm, a lifespan of more than a hundred years is already the limit.

He may not be able to wait for the time for the revival of the country, and this defeated dynasty. It's hard to make a comeback.

What is the reason. It doesn't make much sense to support him in doing this qiē. But what about extremely dangerous things?

Just as these thoughts crossed Lin Ming's mind, suddenly a sheepskin water bag flew towards Lin Ming.

Lin Ming stretched out his hand and took the water bag in his hand. The water in the bag was hot, had just been burned on the campfire, and then poured into the water bag.

This was thrown by Zhu Yan.

"Are you frozen? Take a sip of hot water. Zhu Yan looked at Lin Ming, his eyes were always vigilant.

Lin Ming pulled out the lid, took a sip, and sent the bag back.

He didn't talk to Zhu Yan, and several people rested in a cave like this, the other party took turns to keep vigil, while Lin Ming didn't sleep all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Yan and others took their hats and set off early, and a team of people and horses plunged into the vast snow and quickly disappeared......

Lin Ming silently looked at Zhu Yan's back, and also walked into the snow......

He came to a small town, there were not many people, no one was clearing the snow, and the ground was white.

Walking on the street, Lin Ming felt that the chill in his body was getting heavier and heavier.

Suddenly, his body shook, his face suddenly turned pale, and at that moment, from his body, an indescribable sharp pain surged into the sea of souls.

"Poof!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Lin Ming's mouth, and the bright scarlet color sprinkled all over his clothes, looking shocking.

Lin Ming's body trembled, he couldn't support it, and slowly fell to the ground.

Many people saw this scene, some women screamed, and some hurried away.

In times of war, everyone here was very vigilant, and they thought that someone was killing people in the street.

But when he looked closely, he found that Lin Ming seemed to be inexplicable and suddenly vomited blood.

"What's wrong with him. ”

"Who knows, probably a hidden wound attacked. ”

"Looking at the mask on his face, it shouldn't be an ordinary person, it may be someone from some organization, maybe it's still a killer......"

"He must have had kung fu on him, and he was probably injured by someone more powerful. ”

People said this, far away, there was a soft-hearted woman who couldn't bear it and wanted to help Lin Ming, but was also stopped by her husband.

"Now that the war is in chaos, don't cause trouble, in case he is a member of the old court and saves him, we are a capital crime. ”

People stayed away, like hiding from a plague god.

Lin Ming's body twitched, and he endured indescribable severe pain, this pain, which came from the soul, was the pain caused by the depletion of the soul, which was unbearable.

He felt that his strength was flowing wildly, and the meridians and veins in his body were rudely torn apart.

The pain lasted for an hour, and the snow beneath him was already stained red with blood, and the contrast between the two stark colors of red and white was hideous and poignant.

"Big brother, you...... Are you alright......"

When Lin Ming almost fainted in pain, he suddenly heard a timid voice ringing in his ears.

Lin Ming opened his eyes and saw a little girl who was dirty, waiting for a pair of bright eyes to look at her, she was carrying a tattered bag, and around her neck, there was a broken clay pot that she picked up from nowhere, obviously, she was a beggar.

"Big brother, you can drink some water, maybe it will be better. The little girl timidly handed out the kettle, "I don't have anything to eat, so I can only give you some water......

The little girl looked very pitiful, and her clothes were so tattered that her little face and hands were red from the cold.

Lin Ming wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head slightly. "No need ......"

In such a chaotic era, the little girl in front of her is probably an orphan, and her parents have died in the war......

Without her parents, she had to beg everywhere. But in the war years, the people themselves can't eat enough, and where will there be any alms for their children.

Her fate is that she can only freeze and starve to death......

When Lin Ming thought of this, he was a little depressed in his heart.

The afflictions of mortals are everywhere.

In the eyes of the warriors, these sufferings may be insignificant at all, but when they fall on the parties, they are a great thing.

Lin Ming really wanted to help this little girl, but it was a pity. He couldn't help at all. Even if you give her a steamed bun and give her a few copper coins, you can't do it.

He was sad in his heart, and it was at this moment that he suddenly noticed that it was on the little girl's neck. Tie a thin red silk thread.

This red silk thread. I had seen Lin Ming in the cave before. The red thread around the boy's neck was exactly the same.

With a sweep of perception, Lin Ming found that under the cover of the little girl's tattered clothes. There is a bronze plaque with a flower-like pattern engraved on it, exactly like that of a boy......

Lin Ming's heart suddenly crossed the conversation between Zhu Yan and his subordinates, what Zhu Yan said was: "Don't say it, we must find the little princess within three days, and then evacuate here and go to our base, stay for a long time, we will definitely be discovered by the white-clothed guards......"

Little Princess......

Could it be that the little girl in front of her is the little princess Zhu Yan is looking for?

The orphans of the old court, from the days of fine clothes and food, to now, have suffered a lot in the world......

Probably because of such drastic changes, she knows how to sympathize with others at a young age.

Lin Ming was silent for a while, and he took the little girl's hand.

The little girl did not resist, and Ren Linming led her.

Lin Ming spread his perception, covering a radius of hundreds of miles.

Then, Lin Ming easily found Zhu Yan and the others, they were in an inconspicuous small restaurant, eating and talking to the owner about something......

Lin Ming turned to the little girl and said, "Come with me, okay?" I'll take you to your brother." ”

Lin Ming's words made the little girl stunned suddenly, she took a step back, and there was a bit of vigilance in her eyes.

But Lin Ming's gaze seemed to contain an indescribable and incomparably intimate feeling, and slowly, she nodded.

Lin Ming picked up the little girl, wrapped him in a windbreaker, and walked towards the inconspicuous little restaurant.

The small restaurant is seventy or eighty miles away from Lin Ming, in another small town.

Lin Ming didn't walk fast, but somehow, the journey of nearly 100 miles was just a stick of incense under his feet.

When Lin Ming walked into this small restaurant with a little girl in his arms.

Zhu Yan and his party were stunned for a moment, and then they were vigilant and held down their respective weapons.

And the shopkeeper was quick and closed the door directly.

"It's you...... How do you ......"

Zhu Yan looked at Lin Ming, and his heart was uncertain.

met Lin Ming twice in a row, the first time could be said to be a coincidence, but the second time, it was by no means.

This small hotel is actually a secret stronghold of theirs, and the owner of the hotel is the deputy commander of the guards of the original palace, and he is loyal to the emperor.

At this time, Zhu Yan and others noticed the child in Lin Ming's arms.

Suddenly faced with so many weapons, this little girl was obviously a little scared, she leaned close to Lin Ming's arms, her dirty little face was a little pale.

Zhu Yan didn't know the little girl, but the boy behind him did.

He was stunned for a moment, and finally tried to shout, "Bottle, is that you?"

The little girl looked at the boy and froze suddenly, she was stunned for a long time, and then tears rolled in her eyes, "Brother!

The little girl remembered that Lin Ming said that he would take her to find her brother, but she didn't expect that she really found it.

Half a year ago, the country collapsed, they can be said to be separated from life and death, but they didn't expect to see each other again today.

Lin Ming put the little girl down, and the little girl ran over and hugged her brother.

Zhu Yan looked at this scene and was completely stupid.

Others were even more confused, it was like a dream.

What the hell is going on?

How could this masked man bring the little princess over?

This can't be a coincidence, the masked man in front of him is obviously looking for the little princess in his arms.

How did the masked man know that they were looking for the little princess, and how did he know that the little princess was this little girl.

Even if he found the little princess, how would he know about their secret stronghold?

One qiē, it's incredible!

Zhu Yan looked at Lin Ming, holding the sword in his hand all the time, and he noticed Lin Ming's chin exposed outside the mask, as well as his hands.

Judging from here, Lin Ming's age is not very old, that is, he is in his twenties, at this age, it can't be a peerless master, right?

At this moment, Lin Ming suddenly coughed violently, he covered the lower corner of the mask with his hand, and the cough couldn't be controlled at all, as if he was about to burst his lungs.

Slowly, blood flowed out from Lin Ming's fingers, wisps by wisp, this was coughed out by him, shocking!

The people around Zhu Yan glanced at each other, they all swallowed a mouthful of saliva, coughing up blood and coughing up like this.

How do you look at it, this person is already terminally ill and doesn't have a long life......

And at this moment, Lin Ming was suddenly slightly stunned, and in the moment just now, he felt that there was a killing intention...... Locked here!

His perception spread, and he saw a group of swordsmen in white cloaks approaching here at an extremely fast speed.

Wherever they passed, the people scattered in fear, like a scorpion snake!

The target of these white-clothed swordsmen is the small restaurant where Lin Ming is!

(6000 words, put it together.) ）
