The stream is red, the water is turbulent, Lin Shouxi wades through the stream, walks towards the black cliff in the sunset, looks at the mountain and runs a dead horse, the black cliff rises to the sky, occupies all the sight, but it is like a mirage, and it can never be reached.

Lin Shouxi is very familiar with this place, he has read books here, practiced martial arts, picked up beautiful stream stones and sent them to his senior sisters, everything here is a memory, he walked and stopped, as if he was walking towards a childhood that can never be returned.

The blood flowed down the clothes and trousers into the stream, staining the water red, and the fish were attracted to peck at it.

They pecked Lin Shouxi's ankle along the water, and the slight itching distracted his energy, and after a few steps, Lin Shouxi's knees were weak, and his body fell heavily into the stream between the mountain walls.

The river murmured through his body, sweeping away the mud and sand, more seeping into the flesh, rubbing and wrestling his muscles to tear it to pieces.

Lin Shouxi continued to lose blood and convulsed in the stream, he curled up his body, biting the tip of his tongue to make himself sober, but the tip of his tongue was bitten, and he still couldn't resist the raging sleepiness.

His blood attracted a multitude of fish, and the fish of the streams gathered and gnawed at his flesh.

If you do sleep, will the flesh be eaten by the fish? When Shizu and Xiao He woke up and saw a skeleton next to them, what should they be feeling...... Didn't he die in the pursuit of the goddess, but died in the hands of a group of tiny little silverfish? How absurd.

The perception was washed away by the current, and the qi pill that had been drained of all the true qi had stopped, and even the sword meridian could no longer be driven.

The weight of the body seemed to be getting lighter and lighter, and faintly, the faces of Xiao He, Chu Yingchan, and Mu Shijing passed in front of him, some of them snorted arrogantly and coldly, some smiled elegantly, and some glanced at him contemptuously, and then, he heard someone call him Master crisply.

Whisper......

In the haze of consciousness, he vaguely saw Xiao Yu, who was wearing cute pajamas, patting her open chest, and said, "When you are sixteen years old, Xiao Yu will definitely be able to defeat Master." ”

Whisper......

Half-asleep and half-awake, when his consciousness was about to fall, Lin Shouxi suddenly felt that someone hugged him.

Then, his body was scooped out of the water.

He finally opened a glimmer of his eyes, and vaguely saw a beautiful face, on that beautiful cheek, pale washed by the stream, a pair of long autumn eyes were staring at him gently and sadly, she picked herself up from the water, held his pale and thin cheeks, and shouted softly in a weak voice:

"Master."

Lin Shouxi closed his eyes.

The evening light in the stream is gradually washed away by the flowing water.

Lin Shouxi fell asleep, his body was still stiff and difficult to bend and stretch, he knelt in the stream, Gong Yu also knelt in front of him, Xiao He curled up on the side, still unconscious, his long hair was like snow reflected in the pool.

Only the last touch of sunset remains.

In the Dao Gate at this moment, He Yaoqin stood in front of the ancient and elegant courtyard, staring at the sky with a sad face, waiting for the news from afar.

In the ancient road of another world, Chu Yingchan was on the way to the Holy Soil Temple, her heart suddenly hurt slightly, she couldn't help but hold her heart, stopped holding the deer's footsteps, looked into the distance with Mu Shijing, stared at the sinking of the last ray of light, Bai Zhu squatted on the side of the road, broke off an elegant daisy, climbed on the back of the deer, and pinned it to the hair of the little sister like a waterfall.

And in the turbulent flow full of Yin Hongxi stones, Gong Yu and Lin Shouxi knelt opposite each other like this, she closed her eyes, leaned forward, her slender arms wrapped around his neck, and kissed the young man's scarred forehead in the last trace of afterglow.

……

It had been three days since Lin Shouxi woke up.

When he awoke, he mistakenly thought that he had gone back in time, back to before he was sixteen, but the pain in his body dragged him back to reality, and he looked up a little and looked at the familiar house where he once lived, the house was clean, all the utensils were placed in their original positions, and the light shone in through the window, filling the room with warm colors, and he felt extremely peaceful from it.

He recalled his childhood, from the dead city to the battle of the Black Cliff in the past sixteen years, the mountains have always been quiet, the waves are not alarmed, he lives a peaceful life day after day, and his mood is like the flowing clouds on the mountainside, surging but silent.

Everything in the world seems to have its price, and his sixteen years have been too peaceful, so after that, every time he goes to a place, he will experience terrible disasters, even if he tries his best to escape death, he will end up with a broken bones and a miserable end that is difficult to recover.

Is this retribution......

Lin Shouxi was lying on the bed, closing his eyes and recuperating, his mind was like being slashed by a knife, and the slightest thought was a sharp pain, he didn't complain about anything, because he was not alone, at least every time, there was someone by his side.

Soon after, the door opened.

Xiao He walked in wearing a basin of water, for fear of making a noise to Lin Shouxi, she raised her calf before entering the door, gently hooked the pear blossom white small cloth shoes, and walked in with snow-white feet, she put the basin on the low table, pulled up the curtain a little, avoided the light, twisted the towel casually, and wiped Lin Shouxi's face seriously.

Lin Shouxi closed his eyes, his lips moved slightly, as if he was dreaming about something, very vague.

Xiao He frowned, and vaguely heard him shouting the name of 'Chu Chu', she was vigilant, took off her face toil, leaned down, and put it on Lin Shouxi's lips to listen.

The moment she approached, Lin Shouxi's voice immediately became clear and gentle, and he called out her name.

Before she could react, the boy had already imprinted a cool cheek on her cheeks.

Xiao He snorted, straightened up as if electrocuted, his heart beat faster, his cheeks flushed, and he bit his lip and reproached softly: "You...... How dare you pretend to be asleep? ”

She also clenched her small fist, as if she wanted to knock Lin Shouxi's head, but she couldn't do anything.

"I just woke up." Lin Shouxi said.

"Really?" Xiao He will be skeptical.

"Is Xiao He angry?" Lin Shouxi asked with a smile.

Xiao He nodded with a serious face, then leaned over, kissed Lin Shouxi's side cheek with his thin lips, and then said, "This is all right." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed in unison.

Lin Shouxi smiled for a while, but his eyes were replaced by melancholy.

"Are you worried about your senior brother and sister?" Xiao He saw through his thoughts.

"Hmm." Lin Shouxi nodded.

I remember when I was a child, once he was bitten by a snake, the brothers and sisters all gathered around the bed to look at him, shush the cold and ask for warmth, in order to avenge him, everyone even posted a wanted notice all over the mountains, and the wanted notice was the characteristics of the snake that Lin Shouxi recalled.

Now that he has returned to his hometown, the Black Cliff is deserted, and he will inevitably miss it.

"What's the use of thinking about this, if they are fine, of course it is best, if they die, then we will do everything to avenge them, all this is not caused by you, you don't have to have moral guilt." Xiao He comforted him, reached out and pinched his cheek, and said with a smile: "Be happy, it's helpful to heal your injuries." ”

"Hmm." Lin Shouxi nodded, smiled, and said, "Xiao He, don't worry, in terms of recuperation, it is difficult to find someone in the world who is more experienced than me." ”

When Xiao He heard this, those moments of birth and death couldn't help but flash in her mind, and she felt even more pity, she reached into the quilt, gently grabbed Lin Shouxi's scarred hand, and stroked it gently.

The girl's misty eyes looked at him like this, and she didn't say a word, and everything was silent again.

"What about the ancestor? Is she okay? Lin Shouxi asked.

"Master respects her ......"

Xiao He wanted to speak again and again, and finally said, "I'll take you to see her." ”

Xiao He pushed the wheelchair that had already been made in, she also made a wheelchair when she was in Guangning Temple, the technique was skillful, the workmanship was exquisite, and it had reached the level of mass production, she lifted the quilt, picked up Lin Shouxi's legs, picked him up carefully, put him in the wheelchair, and pushed him out of the door after being placed.

This is the familiar Demon Gate.

It is located on the black cliff, the shape of the palace is very similar to the Wu family, with a main hall as the center, the steep ridge of the building is lined up one after another, the height is uneven, the canine teeth are staggered, in front, the statue of a black phoenix stands lonely, its wings are like flames, the wings are spread, it seems to go straight to the sky, and then in front, you can see the four words of 'doing good and accumulating virtue' on the stele pavilion, which is the ancestral training of the demon gate.

When he was in the Cliff Ancient Garden, Lin Shouxi said to Xiao He that if he had the opportunity to visit his hometown in the future, he never thought that they would really come two years later, but it was Xiao He who pushed him to visit.

The mountain road leading to the Demon Gate has been sealed, but fortunately, the seal was made by Gong Yu herself, so she successfully arrived here with Lin Shouxi and Xiao He.

The wooden wheel runs over the familiar road, and the past ten years are vivid.

Lin Shouxi and Xiao He talked about the names of these buildings, their origins, and the interesting things that happened here when they were children, and when they talked about their senior sister, Xiao He's pace deliberately slowed down a little, and asked: "When you were a child, did any senior sister like you?" ”

"The sisters like me very much." Lin Shouxi replied.

"I mean that kind of like." Xiao He didn't give him a chance to fish in troubled waters.

"That like?" Lin Shouxi smiled and shook his head, "I was young at the time, how could I understand this." ”

"And when did you start to understand?" Xiao He asked curiously.

"After meeting you." Lin Shouxi replied calmly.

"You ......" Xiao He's hand holding the wheelchair tighter, she hung her head, her thin teeth bit her tender lips, and the movement of pushing the wheelchair was slow, and finally, she sighed and said helplessly: "It's really a wrongdoer." ”

She pushed the wooden wheelchair forward.

Suddenly, there was a clicking sound.

After the corner, Lin Shouxi saw a proud and cold back, it was the ancestor, today he coiled up his beautiful long hair, and used a wooden hairpin to set a bun like a cloud, and the slender swan jade neck that was slightly exposed was brightly illuminated, she sat upright, wearing a clean and praised black dress, and her proud silhouette revealed the unique charm of the predecessor fairy.

But to Lin Shouxi's surprise, what this great fairy of the Daomen was doing at the moment was actually chopping wood.

Gong Yu rolled up some sleeves, revealing a jade-like forearm, the axe blade cut into the firewood, and hit the ground with the rise and fall of the axe, for Gong Yu in the past, it was not a problem to cut off an iron pillar with a sword, but now, an ordinary wood has to be hit several times before it cracks.

"Master......" Lin Shouxi said softly.

Hearing a sound behind him, Gong Yu glanced at the messy pile of firewood at his feet, turned his head, pursed his red lips, and said with a wry smile: "Let you see you laugh." ”

"Master, how are you?" Lin Shouxi asked.

On the surface, she is not abnormal from her usual life, her face is extremely beautiful, cold and proud, like a fairy lotus from the world that rejects people thousands of miles away, but today, Lin Shouxi can obviously feel that this awe-inspiring sacredness that cannot be desecrated is just a weak whitewash.

"The ghost prison assassin imprisoned me, as long as I don't use my true qi and forcibly break the seal, my life will be safe, but ...... As you can see, I'm weaker now, weaker than ever, not even compared to a boudoir girl with an embroidery needle, and from now on, well, until I can crack the hell thorn, I will be taken care of by you. Gong Yu smiled and spoke, she did not complain about anything, but accepted all this calmly, she even put her hand on her waist, and blessed her body with a dignified manner.

Xiao He and Lin Shouxi knew that she was joking, but they were also sincerely frightened, and hurriedly avoided this ceremony.

"Master, where is this, you have helped us so much, it is natural to help us in the same boat, in this way, it seems to be a raw point." Xiao He said seriously.

Gong Yu listened, nodded slightly, she looked at Lin Shouxi, and said softly: "You can rest assured that you can recuperate, in the future, chopping wood, cooking, laundry, and sewing will all be done by me, I have not been involved in these aspects since I was a child, but I am a junior, if there is something that is not done well, you can criticize and punish it." ”

"The disciple doesn't dare." Lin Shouxi said busily.

"Huh." Gong Yu smiled lightly and said, "As for you, you don't dare to do anything, but you are more daring than anyone else in your own actions." ”

Lin Shouxi knew that she was insinuating that she was slapped and punished that day, and his heart was tight, he tried not to think about the wonderful feeling of softness, lowered his head, and said with a slight apology: "The matter is urgent, and the disciple is also ...... As a last resort. ”

Gong Yu snorted lightly, she stood between the demon gate and the secluded court, although she had no strength, the Qingning Shenghui in her eyes did not decrease but increased, she said: "Don't worry about me, for cultivators, it is not necessarily a bad thing to return to the world, I should also fade the identity of an immortal, walk more between the turbid waves of the world, think about what is the original person, what is the original Tao, in short, in the next period of time, if Si Duxue does not chase after us, we should live here for a while." ”

Lin Shouxi and Xiao He nodded together.

Then, Gong Yu walked behind Xiao He, took the handle behind the wheelchair chair from Xiao He's hand, and pushed Lin Shouxi towards the main hall in the center.

"Where is the ancestor taking me?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"I found a relic of your past master, it is his note, we didn't look at it, and we waited for you to wake up." Miyayu explained.

Walking into the study of the master of the Demon Gate, Gong Yu turned out the booklet and put it in front of Lin Shouxi, spread it out, the room was dimly lit, and she deliberately held the lamp.

The lights are dim, the handwriting on the booklet catches the eye, and the vigorous words reveal the meaning of struggle:

"The evil dragon is reincarnated as a human, and his mouth is against the scales, and he is a disaster...... Patriarch, the prophecy seems to have come true......"
