Dead vines and old trees, faint crows and snow.

In the imperial capital of Darong, on the high mountain in the north of the city, Tang An, the Duke of Anguo, was gray-haired and stood in front of an old tree.

On the tree, there are some words carved crookedly, which are weathered for a long time, but they can still be faintly recognized.

"Qi family, governing the country, leveling the world!"

The deep voice of vicissitudes of life read these seven words again.

In front of his eyes, there was a faint picture of him coming here as a child and setting up his life's ambition.

The children are laughing, and there is light and the future of the country in their eyes.

can be like green silk twilight into snow, the past is as vivid as yesterday, and then look back but things are wrong.

Tang An immediately laughed self-deprecatingly, and the old tears were all over the place.

Lead by example, do not form a party, do not be greedy, open up the territory, and do your best, but you can't compare to the emperor's thoughts.

The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.

But just to pursue the ethereal path of cultivating immortals, you have to give a sixteen-year-old girl to a charlatan who is about to die?

Just to not be disturbed by the turmoil, so he wants to self-destruct the Great Wall, recall his eldest son Tang Hate to the imperial capital, and abolish martial arts?

The reason is just that Tang Hate is the only general in the entire Darong who can fight with the killing god and has no flaws.

The emperor wanted peace, and Da Yan demanded peace by abolishing Tang hate.

Thereupon... The emperor really destroyed the Great Wall and abolished Tang Hatred.

Tang hated that he was a little killing god on the battlefield, but in the treacherous clouds of the imperial capital, he didn't understand anything.

A weaving of "collusion with the Jiangnan rebel party" dragged the entire Anguo Mansion into the abyss.

Now...

It's too late.

But instead of being sent to Daxing Ancient City and stealing life, it is better to die here.

An Guogong put the rope in place, slowly stood on a stone that had been prepared earlier, put the rope trap between the necks, and then opened his eyes and looked south.

He wants to look at the Darong Imperial Capital, look at the rebels in the south, and look at the Great Yan Dynasty in the south...

"Ahem..."

The old man's figure twitched suddenly, and then he snorted, glaring more and more angrily, and even stopped struggling until he died.

But even if he died, the old eyes still looked into the distance, reflecting the wind and snow imperial city.

However... With the passage of time.

A gray-robed man appeared in these pupils.

The man's long hair was scattered, and his body was filled with a strange courage that was completely different from anyone in this mortal world, like a demon god from the heavens, and every inch of his skin was flawless and full of almost great oppression.

The man walked up to the dead An Guogong, and the clothes on his chest stirred slightly, and a petal like a fiery red blood snake poked out.

The petals meandered, raised their heads, stopped in front of An Guogong, and then pierced into An Guogong's eyebrows.

Kiss...

There was a faint ripple in the spiritual world.

In the ripples, there is an old man's life, and all the people related to him, relatives, enemies, friends, proud things, regretful things.

Everything is connected to the marquee, slowly spinning.

The man closed his eyes for a long time, as if digesting the old man's memory.

After a long time, he said softly: "Found it." ”

...

...

Imperial capital.

Anguo Mansion.

The door is full of birds, dilapidated, and the miserable atmosphere is unabashedly permeated.

The old lady vomited blood and died, the eldest lady hanged herself, and the rest... Some of the beauties have been taken away and sent to the dance and music division to be trained, and then they will welcome guests, and the officials can play with it for two silver dollars.

At this point...

Guogong Study.

A burly middle-aged man with a sad and angry face sat at a desk, holding a letter on the desk and reading the contents of the letter lightly.

"In the future, every year will be a storm, and the family sacrifice will not be forgotten..."

After reading it, he put down the letter, closed his eyes, and said sadly: "Father, I have also gone." ”

This is Tang An's eldest son - Tang Hat.

He used to be a great general guarding the country in the south, but now he has been abolished and will be assigned to the frontier.

The word "hate" should not have appeared in the name of the eldest son of a national prince, but An Guoping has three major hatreds.

The first hate, hatred can't be slashed immediately, in order to protect the territory, to guard the country.

The second hate, hating not to see the country's peace and security, thousands of mansions, for the cold.

The third hatred is that there is no harmony in the world, there is no war, and everyone is for the public.

However, An Guogong is a literati, so naturally he can't be slashed immediately, although he can't, he yearns for it. Therefore, he gave his son the word "hate".

And Tang Hate is a natural martial arts wizard, a genius in military use, and it can be said that he has never lived up to his father's expectations.

On the other side of Tang Hate is a calm man with a calm complexion, even if the wind and thunder are agitated, and the sky is falling apart, he doesn't seem to be moved.

This is Tang An's second son - Tang Shou.

The word "keep" can be said to be worthy of its name.

The literati of the imperial capital once commented, saying that "Tang guards the fall, only defends and does not attack", but when all your offensives are resolved one by one, and then look at the chessboard, there are his chess pieces everywhere, and the soldiers who surrender without a fight, and win the victory without attacking.

At this time, Tang Shouben was sitting upright, and when he heard the eldest brother's sentence "Father, go", he sighed and said in a deep voice: "This matter is not so simple...... There is a high-level push behind it. What you want is to kill my Tang family. ”

Tang hated that his hands and feet were broken, but his naturally strong physique made him unable to use his true qi again, but he could still be like an ordinary person, and when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice: "Who is it?" ”

Tang Shou shook his head, "It's hard to say. ”

Tang hated and said: "The family has been broken, the person has died, do you still want to guard the second brother?" What else do you have to say?! ”

Tang Shou smiled bitterly, "Big brother, the more you see through it, the more you can't say it, not to mention that I haven't seen through it yet...... But I swear to you, if there is even the slightest chance, I, Tang Shou, will definitely seize this opportunity and let my Tang family make a comeback!! ”

Tang hated and said: "The old lady is dead, the mother is dead, the father is dead, the third sister is sent to the cold palace, and you and my wife and daughter are also sent to the dance and music division... I regret it! I really regret it!! If you had known the ending of today, Lao Tzu would have picked you up directly, and then led the troops to go to Dayan, and then fought back, killed this Darong with his own hands, and then killed the dog emperor!! ”

Tang Shoudao: "Big brother, don't say it, the wall has ears, you can't detect whether anyone is snooping now..."

Tang said angrily: "Tang Shou, can you be so calm at any time?" ”

Tang Shou sighed and asked, "Is anger useful?" ”

"Heh... Hahahaha..."Tang hated and laughed desolately, but he didn't scold the second brother anymore, he clenched his fists and said fiercely, "Damn, really damn!" Damn it! ”

I don't know if it's the emperor, or himself, or both.

Tang Shoudao: "I'll count the people who will go to Daxing Ancient City tomorrow." Today, the Dance and Music Division picked up a lot of female dependents, and the Dead Soldiers Battalion also captured a lot of strong men, and there are not many people in the house, but there must be a rule. ”

Tang Hate sneered, he didn't even want to take care of the second brother's words.

His temperament is like fire, and his second brother is like ice.

It's just that this ice is so ruthless, so ruthless that it seems that he is an outsider, just a gamer.

A clever player, no matter how many times he is eaten, will not have fluctuations in his heart, but will try to gain insight and try to turn the tables.

However, this is not a game of chess, the second brother is still so indifferent, Tang Hate can't understand it.

It's just that the two will be in the same boat in the future.

The ancient city of Daxing is extremely dangerous, and I am afraid that it will become the burial place of the two.

The second brother has such an indifferent temperament... Not necessarily a bad thing.

Tang He was thinking about it, but suddenly heard Tang Shou's surprised shout, this shout was full of excitement, Tang Ha had never heard the second brother so emotional, he hurriedly got up and rushed out of the door.

Outside the door, the white-haired old man was standing in front of the door, and the second brother knelt down in front of the old man, howling.

There was also a middle-aged beautiful woman kneeling beside the second brother, the beautiful woman was the fourth eldest in the family, named Tang Yan, who was retired to her parents' house because she was unknown. Beside Tang Yan, there was still a stupid white-haired girl standing, staring blankly.

Tang Hate swept the scene, with tears in his eyes, he looked at the old man in a daze, and then knelt down and shouted, "Dad!!! ”

No matter what discourages a father's will to die, this is a good thing for a son!

It's good to come back, come back... That's it.

...

...

Next.

An Guogong's family of thirty-four people, wearing shackles, was driven out of the imperial city, except for a few backbones, this group of people was either old or young, and they were all picked and picked out of the rest.

In order to allow the family to be exiled to the ancient city of Daxing "in peace", the Criminal Department specially arranged for 60 officials to escort them.

But everyone knows that this road is far away, half of the road is dangerous, and it is unknown whether it can be reached.

In the palace...

The cold palace is bleak.

Concubine Zhen knew that today was the day when her family was exiled, and she hung her head gloomily, suddenly... The godless gaze turned into a fierce and cold.

She glanced vigilantly at the courtyard, which was so deep that it was impossible for anyone to come to this gloomy place except for the palace maid who delivered the meal.

Only then did she turn around and walk to the side of the treasure shelf, and pulled out an ancient book from the darkness.

Nineteen years ago, she secretly asked the dead to explore the tomb and obtained this ancient book, which is said to have been held in the hands of a dead body in a coffin.

The corpse was red-clad and white-haired, strange and impermanent.

And every word on the book is written in blood, and the content is even more incredible.

After retrieving here, it was transferred to the hands of the fourth sister Tang Yan.

After Tang Yan married into her husband's family, she gave birth to a girl ten years ago, the girl was born with white hair and dementia, and Tang Yan was also divorced by her husband's family because of an unknown name, and was sent back to the Tang family with her daughter.

There is no doubt that this is a magic skill, and it may not be a systematic magic skill, Tang Yan is in trouble because he came into contact with this magic skill.

No one knows what will happen if they cultivate.

Concubine Zhen's heart is like ashes, and hatred is rekindled in this ashes, becoming the only reason to live in the future.

In that case, let's practice.

She looked at the ancient book in a daze, and said softly: "Dad, it's the daughter who is useless and has failed your teachings, just... From now on, my daughter will avenge my Tang family in her own way! ”

With that, she paused for a moment and officially opened the ancient book.

On the first page of the ancient book, four large characters were written in black-red and long-dried blood———— Orchid Treasure Book.

...

...

From the imperial capital to the ancient city of Daxing in the north, it takes half a year to walk.

This half a year is not a long time for Bai Shan, and he has enough patience in the endless running of the abyss.

On that day, after he stole the spirit mine, he settled Yuzhen, Yegu, and Bai Miaochan.

The cultivation progress of the three girls is about the same, and with enough spiritual mines, they can completely simulate various levels of spiritual energy in the narrow stone house, so as to cultivate.

The path of cultivation is long, especially starting from the Spirit Infant Realm.

Even with the assistance of various elixirs configured by Bai Miaochan, it would take more than fifty years to break through the early stage of the Spirit Infant Realm.

Princess Yuzhen, Aunt Ye is ready to cultivate with peace of mind.

Bai Miaochan also needs to hurry up and recover to the Manifestation Realm, and then she can separate Di Xi and Di Wan.

And during the time when the three women were cultivating, Bai Shan took Bai Hua out, exploring all the way, and obtaining information about this world through the memories in the minds of the dead.

Obviously, this world is not as "superficial" as the world knows, this world has sects that far exceed the scale of the previous ones, and there are more complex and dangerous situations, and the appearance of abyssal cracks seems to be more frequent.

Bai Shan even had a hint of anticipation for the reunion with Xiaolang and Miss, because he would never believe that Miss Xiaomei was dead.

Because of this, Bai Shan clearly realized that he was blind to these things, and he didn't know where the danger was or what kind of enemies he had.

If he rashly puts the white flowers in a forest, I am afraid that it will not be long before they are discovered, and then cause trouble.

And that day, he happened to see An Guogong who hanged himself, and from An Guogong's memory, he obtained two very important elements.

First, An Guogong is a lonely old man, his wife hanged himself, and he was hit hard, and he will be exiled to the ancient city of Daxing, no matter what such a person does, he will not attract the attention of others.

Second, the ancient city of Daxing is in the far north, on the verge of the endless mountain, and this endless mountain is the sea of forests, boundless and vast. If the white flower arrives in this endless mountain, it is like walking into the sea, and from then on it will turn into a dragon, which is very promising.

Therefore, although An Guogong is an old man, Bai Shan does not mind turning into his appearance and then using the identity of this old man to integrate into the world.

Because, this is really the best identity.

At this point...

Bai Shan was silent, his head was lowered, his white hair fell from his temples, he looked decadent and old, and he no longer had the public bearing of Anguo in the past, he was wearing shackles, and he looked numb on the road to the ancient city of Daxing.

The shackled wires clanged.

The officials on the side grabbed the knife and shouted "Hurry up, go faster" from time to time.

But this kind of life is much easier than running by the Huangquan ravine.

Three months have passed.

The imperial capital is in early spring, but the barren road is becoming more and more bitterly cold.

On this day, the sun suddenly disappeared, and the iron-gray clouds gathered thickly overhead.

The barren mountains on both sides of the road, the light is dim, and it gives people a strong sense of oppression.

After a howling cold mountain wind, the raindrops fell on their heads and faces.

"Shelter from the rain, shelter from the rain!! Hurry up!! The official shouted, and then took the lead in rushing to the big tree on the side, and then rummaged for a while, and found the earthen kiln.

The officials also ignored the prisoners, and immediately poured in, and then someone took out the game that happened to be caught yesterday, and prepared to boil a pot of hot broth.

Tang Yan helped the white-haired old man to walk to the earthen kiln, and Tang He, who had a volume, glanced at the officials in the cave, so he carefully moved a stone, put it outside the cave, and said, "Dad, sit down." ”

Suddenly, a servant scolded: "Find other places to hide from the rain, don't block the door!" ”

Another official said in a strange manner: "Heh, don't think you're still a general!" Against the party! ”

These officials had long been impatient with the long journey, and they were only halfway there.

A burst of yin fire appeared in Tang Hat's pupils, and he got up, but he felt the old man behind him gently pull his clothes.

"Hate, forget it."

Tang hated and wanted to split, and the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs!

"Forget it..."The old man said again, he just wanted to arrive at the ancient city of Daxing safely.

Tang Yan also shouted: "Brother..."

Tang hated to see that the two closest relatives were persuading him, so he let go of his fist and hung his head.

The official looked at him with a smile and said, "General, why don't you leave quickly?" ”

Tang Yan turned around and helped the old man to leave, and the white-haired little dementia dragged the oil bottle only knowing how to follow his mother, so he hung on his head like a little tail.

And Tang Hate followed him, and when he left, he swept his eyes again, but saw that in the earthen kiln, several officials were gathering next to the head of the officials, muttering quietly, not knowing what they were discussing.

"Let's go!!" Some officials scolded again, and Tang hated to help the old man leave.

Not long after, the smell of broth wafted through the cave.

The scent wafted down the hole and into everyone's nose, making it just a stretch of the fingers.

After a while, an official came out and shouted, "Be kind, you prisoners, you prisoners can bring bowls and a spoonful of broth for each person!" ”

Tang Hate and the others were stunned, but soon they all went over one after another, waiting in line for soup.

Moments later...

Tang He came back with a wooden bowl, handed it to Bai Shan, and said, "Dad, drink some broth." ”

Bai Shan just sniffed his nose, and he smelled the strange smell of this broth, and in fact, what the officials in the cave had just muttered was completely in his ears.

What's up?

Of course, it's a fatal thing.

From the imperial capital to the ancient city of Daxing, the road is long.

The officials who had been assigned to escort the prisoners had long been disgruntled.

However, there were thieves in the barren mountains and mountains along the way, but I saw that there were a large number of officials here, and there was no money to escort the prisoners, so I gave up.

However, this road is bitterly cold, and thieves are rampant.

In this way, it is not surprising that if you fall ill because of the bitter cold, lose your life because of thieves, and die on the way.

What's more, someone... spent money to buy the lives of Tang An, Tang Hate, and Tang Shou, and what I wanted was for the servants to kill the three leaders of the Tang family unknowingly on the way.

How to kill?

Of course, poisoning is the best.

The officials are not stupid, they have not been poisoned in the previous food supply, but this day it was suddenly dropped.

This poison is not a poison that seals the throat with blood, but a poison that weakens the body.

Walking on such a bitter cold land, if the body is weak, it will naturally fall ill itself.

"Daddy... You please drink. "Tang Hate is very filial, he didn't notice anything abnormal.

The white-haired dementia on the side opened his mouth wide and shouted, "Drink, drink!" ”

She was drinking herself.

However, Bai Shan didn't give this baby to drink, he pretended to tremble and took the broth, and then... He gave the servants a small warning.

[Golden Chapter], although he had only cultivated to the sixth layer, the explosion of true qi was enough to condense a sword shadow in the void;

And the ninth layer of the [Fire Demon Chapter] allowed him to have an additional nine small dantians, which made his true qi burst even more violent and terrifying;

In addition, the [Wood Demon Chapter] was also able to make his true qi recover extremely quickly and continuously, thus supporting the consumption of this burst

(Even if the true qi of a warrior can be broken in front of him, it will weaken very quickly, consume a lot, and there is not much attack, it is better to honestly use his true qi to implement it in the weapon, and then attack).

As he took the bowl of broth, many of the officials glanced at him blankly, as if expecting him to drink it quickly and die sooner.

However, the true qi quietly broke out from the back of the white mountain, like an invisible python, making a bend in the void, like thunder, splitting down.

Everyone only felt a gust of wind sweeping over, and the broth bowl in the old man's hand "snapped", came out of his hand, and fell to the ground.

Immediately after, an unbelievable scene appeared.

The broth did not fall to the ground, but turned into a thin line and shot out, like a cloudy divine blade grasping the invisible hand of heaven and earth, fluttering like a dragon, like a frightened phoenix, swimming by, like a sword slashing.

This behead, however, left a faint trace of blood on the necks of the sixty officials.

Don't kill, only warn.

The officials were silent, at a loss, and even suspicious in their dreams.

The head of the kiln touched his neck, hurried out in terror, looked at the rainy sky, and hurriedly begged for mercy.

Tang Hate was also shocked, not knowing what kind of power it was just now, and he didn't know why this power wanted to stop his father from drinking soup.

Then, when he asked, the official didn't dare to hide, so he told him about adding ingredients to the soup.

Only then did Tang hate that someone was secretly sheltering them.

And that man is terrifyingly strong, because of the power just now... It's unbelievable and terrifying.

He raised his head, clenched his fists, bowed in all directions, and said respectfully: "Senior, thank you very much!" ”

However, there was no response.

After this incident, the officials no longer dared to poison or play other tricks.

...

...

Fast forward to three months later.

Of the 34 members of the Tang family, six of them did not survive the difficulties of the journey, and died of illness in the middle of the road, and the rest arrived at the ancient city of Daxing alive.

Everyone went to the city lord's mansion to receive their lowly status, and settled down.

At the suggestion of Bai Shan, the Tang family settled in the northernmost part of the ancient city of Daxing.

The north is quiet, but it is a barren place in this barren land, especially the endless mountains that rely on the forest and ocean, and are often vulnerable to the sneak attacks of the fierce beasts in the mountains and forests.

In winter, if none of the eyes are turned, it is common for the baby playing in the yard to be taken away by wild beasts.

But Tang hate, Tang Shou, Tang Yan are all extremely filial, what the father says is what it is, the father wants to be close to the north of the ancient city of Daxing, then it is in the north.

The three of them also understood their father, and knew that his father was disheartened and wanted to spend the rest of his life in peace.

When Baishan saw that he had settled down, he began to develop the habit of "taking a walk in the morning".

At first, Tang Yan was worried about his old father, so he always had to support him and accompany him out.

After a few times, Bai Shan scolded her and asked her to help Tang Hate Tang Shou settle here, and Tang Yan saw that his father didn't go far every time, so he agreed.

A month later...

With white flowers in his arms, Baishan walked into the Endless Mountain.

As soon as he entered the mountain, the white hair faded away, the black hair stretched, and between the steps, it shuttled like lightning, swept at low altitude, and went to the depths of the endless mountain.

The white flower trembled with excitement, and the number of trees here made it ecstatic.

"La-la-la, la-la!" It shouted merrily.

Bai Shan understood the meaning, and Bai Hua said, "Come on, play with me."
