The clouds were condensed, the wind was howling, and the sky seemed to be about to rain.

Han Ye got up from the mud and hurriedly ran to Zhang Kuo's side, because his body was weak, he stumbled and fell into the mud. He hurried to grab Zhang Kuo's arm, and found that the black man had been seriously injured, his whole body was covered with holes, and blood was gurgling, turning the mud into a bright red.

Han Ye pressed Zhang Kuo's wound helplessly, and said hurriedly: "You, how are you?" ”

Zhang Kuo barely opened his eyes, and said in a weak voice: "It's not good...... I'm just going to see the real Yama......"

"Huh?" Han Ye was panicked by Zhang Kuo's words, his eyes were filled with mist, and he said to Zhang Kuo anxiously: "Then, then you quickly use your true qi to heal your injuries......"

"It's useless...... Ahem......" Zhang Kuo coughed twice, blood gushed from the corners of his mouth, and he smiled calmly: "Have you ever seen someone who has shed so much blood and still doesn't die?" ”

Suddenly, for a moment, Han Ye felt dizzy in his mind, he didn't understand what it felt like, but people were not grass and trees, how could they be ruthless?

Han Ye cried, there was no crying, he just cried quietly, suddenly, thousands of emotions came to his heart, he involuntarily knelt down, kneeling in front of this demon who had only been together for more than ten days.

The demon was still lying down, a little surprised, and after a moment he settled down, frowned, and said, "The man has gold under his knees...... Don't be so useless. ”

Han Ye cried even more, his voice became more and more unstable, and he shouted sadly: "Master......"

Zhang Kuo's eyes widened slightly, and he asked in disbelief, "You, what do you call me?" ”

Han Ye called firmly, "Master." ”

"Good...... Good apprentice ......" Zhang Kuo heard this, and said with relief: "Little ghost...... Again, will you call me Master again? ”

"Master!!"

After three "Master" before and after, Han Ye couldn't hold back any longer, threw himself into Zhang Kuo's blood-stained chest, and cried loudly: "Woo woo! Master~ Except for Daddy Yunmeng, you are the best person in the world for me, I don't want you to die! I don't want you to die~! ”

"Silly apprentice......" Zhang Kuo put his hand on Han Ye's back with pity, and wanted to touch it but couldn't do it, so he had to comfort in his mouth: "People...... Death is inevitable...... Perhaps, the reason why I am alive...... It's just to save your life......" Seeing that Han Ye couldn't cry anymore, Zhang Kuo scolded slightly angrily: "What are you crying about, crying about...... I told you...... Manly Husband ...... Never cry easily. ”

"I don't cry~I don't cry~!" The little boy listened, sobbing uncontrollably, wiping the tears from his face with his hands stained with blood and sludge, and the blood and mud turned into a piece on his face.

Zhang Kuo said regretfully: "Little ghost...... I'm so sorry...... I originally wanted to go to the end of the world with you...... But now, I can only send you here......" Zhang Kuo stroked Han Ye's head weakly, just like most masters love their disciples, he said, "In this life...... I haven't done anything good...... The happiest thing is to be with you these days...... I'm usually a little harsh on you...... Don't blame Master...... All right? ”

Han Ye wiped a handful of tears with his hand, choked up, and said, "I know, Master is ...... for my good"

Zhang Kuo was quite relieved and said, "Apprentice...... My wine bag and silver taels ...... And the sword...... You're going to take it with you in the future...... Remember...... Don't lose me......"

Han Ye nodded vigorously and said, "Master, I will definitely take good care of it!" ”

"Although Master is not a good person either...... But you have to watch out for the really bad guys...... Especially that Yuquan, who is the most sinister person I've ever seen in my life...... And ......" The black-faced man looked at Han Ye solemnly and said, "Don't say it to others in the future...... I'm your master......"

Han Ye was startled and asked in astonishment, "But, why ......?" ”

"Less, less verbo......se," Zhang Kuo said with a slightly sad face, "I told you to do this...... It makes sense......"

"But I can't." Han Ye shook his head and wept and said, "Master, you taught me kung fu and saved my life, I will treat you as my master for the rest of my life!" ”

"Alas...... You little ghost......" Zhang Kuo wanted to be angry, but he couldn't get angry, so he had to say earnestly: "Master can only accompany you here...... From now on...... It's all up to you......"

Han Ye didn't say anything this time, just nodded firmly, and at that time, Zhang Kuo's vision was very blurred, and the little boy in front of him was gone, replaced by a handsome man. The man was wearing a sky blue robe, with a light blue sword hanging from his waist, his back was facing Zhang Kuo, his back was thin with a hint of arrogance and uninhibited, his long hair fluttering in the wind, and his clothes were hunting. Zhang Kuo was surprised, and just as he wanted to speak, the man slowly turned towards him......

"Master!" A burst of white light flashed, and Zhang Kuo was pulled back by the apprentice's shout, and all that caught his eye was Han Ye's sad little face.

Zhang Kuo looked at Han Ye, and laughed heartily as if he was back in the light: "I see! I see! Zhang Kuo closed his eyes, a trace of tears of remorse flowed from the corners of his eyes, and said in his heart: "Master, the disciple was guilty of sins in the past, thank you for remembering, Yuquan is actually not wrong, you left a thing in the Mingjian Hall, and the disciple inadvertently took him with him. After that, Zhang Kuo opened his eyes, looked at the ignorant apprentice, and said wistfully: "Little ghost, I'm leaving, I'm going to the ghost world to receive punishment...... What is taught to you these days, you have to practice well...... Especially swordsmanship and true qi, don't waste it......"

"Hmmm! Well! Han Ye closed his eyes tightly and nodded: "I listen to your master, I will definitely listen to you!" ”

Zhang Kuo's voice became empty and weak, he smiled dismally, and reluctantly said the last sentence of his life: "Master firmly believes...... Someday...... Will you ...... Become a ...... who stands up to the sky and the earth Good, good boy......"

No more worries, no regrets, Zhang Kuo closed his eyes, closed his eyes forever, the demon who had killed countless people, died to save a child, but he had no complaints or regrets......

"Master~~~!"

There were a few thunderstorms in the sky, and then a downpour followed, drenching the soil with mud, drenching the night sky with gloom, and drenching people's hearts with sorrow.

The child hugged the Master's body and wept loudly, the cry was long and poignant, and it resounded throughout the mountains and forests! I don't know how long it took, but he looked at his master's wet and dirty body, and suddenly remembered that he wanted to be buried alive.

Han Ye wiped the tears from his face and dug the pit with his hands, and when his hands were scraped bloody by the mud and stones, he finally dug a big pit, and when he took off all the relics, he gritted his teeth and dragged the master to the pit. Seeing that Master's body was buried by himself little by little, although Han Ye was sad in his heart, he did not hesitate, he walked not far away to pick up the fallen Longquan Sword and scabbard, and then found a small tree, cut off a section of wood, and carved a few words on the wood crookedly - "Master Zhang Kuo's Tomb", and inserted it in the grave.

"Master......" Han Ye, who was wet and dirty, knelt in front of the tomb, letting the rain and wind blow, and the pain in his heart showed no sign of abating. He stroked the wine bag that Master had left for him with his hand, observing the lines of the candle dragon on it, and the words that Master had said flashed in his mind.

……

"Little ghost, you don't understand this, do you? Wine is a good thing! As long as you have it, any troubles, fears, sadness, and sorrows will leave you. ”

……

Han Ye collected his nose, held back his tears, opened the wine stopper and took a sip of wine, choking a few times, but he did not stop because of this, but continued to drink the bag of wine left by the master.

Maybe he drank a little too much, and soon, Han Ye felt that his whole body was hot, and his consciousness was a little fluttery.

"I—I still have a lot to say to you......" Han Ye looked at the grave in a daze, burped, and said, "I know you're not a good person...... But you are not good to others, but you are good to me...... Originally, I was going to help you be a good person...... Pity...... It's a pity ......" In a moment's hesitation, Han Ye seemed to see Zhang Kuo floating out of the grave, smiled at him, and then turned around and flew to the sky.

"Master...... Don't, don't go......" The child staggered to his feet, stretched out his hand to pull the master back, but unexpectedly lost his balance and fell to the ground again, this time he could not get up again, and his consciousness gradually faded......

Somehow, Han Ye was very drunk, and a white warm air gushed out of his chest, and the heating surrounded Han Ye's body tightly with its fragrance, although his heart was sad, his body was protected by this layer of white mist in the wind and rain, and he spent that difficult night peacefully.

Early the next morning.

"Hmm......" Han Ye touched his heavy head and sat up slowly, the mountains and forests were shrouded in clouds, and the damp and rotten air was boring. Han Ye looked at the wine bag in his hand, thinking that it was the wine that made him spend the night in peace, and said with eyebrows: "Master is right, wine is indeed a good thing, it is much more comfortable to drink wine, so drink it if you are in a bad mood in the future." ”

Han Ye got up from the mud, put away all the relics, tied the wine bag around his waist, and carried the Longquan sword behind him, then knelt in front of Zhang Kuo's grave and kowtowed three times, and said, "Master, I'm leaving...... Actually, it's not that I can't turn back, if I can, I will try to make everyone understand you and recognize you, just wait, I'll come back and see you. ”

Han Ye looked at the grave in a daze, stood up for a long time, turned his head and walked four or five steps, and finally looked back at the grave.

"Go ahead! Master firmly believes that one day, you will become a good man who stands up to the heavens and the earth! ”

Han Ye seemed to see the master smiling at him, and finally, he mustered up the courage to leave, the summer was suffocating, and at some point there was a bleak wind. It is said that the wind is sluggish, but it seems to be a human being. Han Ye gradually walked away, every step was so lonely, every step was so heavy......

In the blink of an eye, two months later, Han Ye finally returned to his original place with his amazing memory and adaptability.

"I must make everything clear to my father." Han Ye stood under the outer wall of the Mingjian Hall, and finally made up his mind and climbed over the wall.

It was late at night when he entered the Ming Sword Hall, and Han Ye rushed to the outside of the East Garden with his superior body skills, and the East Garden under the moon no longer had the warmth of the past, and became so lifeless.

Although this was his home, Han Ye always felt that the atmosphere was not right, he cautiously climbed over the wall, and by the moonlight, he saw that the houses in the courtyard were extremely dim, only two figures stood in the open space in front of the main hall, one of them was wearing a black robe and was thin, and the other was wearing a night robe with a slightly bloated appearance.

Han Ye frowned and thought intently, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

"Since the Han family was slaughtered, no one has come here, and sure enough, the most dangerous place is the safest." The black-robed man turned his back to the man in black and said, "It's just that I wronged Deputy Hall Master Han and let his family die miserably, if he doesn't die, you and I won't be able to sleep and eat." ”

When Han Ye heard this, he covered his mouth, tears swirled in his eyes, and he wanted to rush out to question the black-robed man, but he thought about it carefully, isn't this a sheep into the mouth of a tiger? He was no longer the innocent child, he just held his breath and cried secretly, trying not to let people notice the movement.

The man in black nodded and said, "How good it is that Han Feng is dead, it's a pity that that little cub was taken away by the King of Hades, otherwise it would have been wiped out...... Dao Chief, you cultivate well here, you will be safer with my care, but don't come forward too much, so as not to be noticed by the group of old Daoists in Shushan again. ”

"That's true." The black-robed man looked forward to the cold moon, revealing a sly gaze, and said: "The revenge of Shushan, I will avenge it sooner or later, it's not that I don't want to report it, the fire hasn't arrived yet!" When I practice the Dafa of absorbing souls, it will be their time of death! ”

"Damn it's you!" Han Ye gritted his teeth with tears in his eyes and said, "Hateful old thief! You two conspired to murder my father and mother, and sooner or later I will make you pay for your blood debts! ”

Of course, the black-robed man couldn't hear Han Ye's heart, he pondered for a while, and said to the man in black: "Although Zhang Kuo kidnapped Han Ye'er, but I look at my words, this guy has a bit of a conscience, and he may not kill Han Ye, just in case, do you know what to do?" ”

The man in black laughed, revealing a row of white Sensen's teeth, and said, "If Han Ye is with the King of Hades, we can call on the martial arts people to hunt him down, and no one will believe what he says, if he dares to come back, hum, you know." ”

Han Ye's heart chilled when he heard this, he was glad that he hadn't defected to Situ Sheng and Ji Yun yet, and he listened intently to the black-robed man and said with a smile: "Now most of the people in the entire Ming Sword Hall are under our control, although there are a few old stubborns who are not suitable to tear their faces for the time being, but it is too easy to kill a child here!" ”

Han Ye knew very well in his heart that the two people in front of him were the murderers of his whole family, but since they could kill their father with strong martial arts, it was obvious that their current strength was far from enough to take revenge, so he quietly rolled down from the wall, clenched his fists and said secretly: "Looking at the appearance of these two people, one is probably the old thief of Yuquan, and the other is very familiar, and I can't find it out for a while, but in order not to let them find out, it's better for me to go first, I must!" I must practice martial arts well, and when I become stronger, I will go back here to avenge my father and sister! ”

I thought that the master could be relied on, but the master left; I thought my family was the warmest, but my family went. Everything was disillusioned like a dream, without his father's teachings, without his mother's love, without his sister's care, Han Ye's heart seemed to be empty, he staggered forward, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and suddenly a faint light shimmered on his chest.

Han Ye put his hand on his chest and touched the white jade pendant, and the glimmer of the white jade gradually brightened and became clear.

"Yunmeng?" Han Ye was shocked, clenched the jade pendant and said hatefully, "Do you know Yunmeng? Mingjian Hall is no longer our home, and no one here can be trusted, it's too dangerous! I'm going to take you away, we're not going to stay here anymore! ”

Han Ye resolutely ran to the North Garden, stood among the flowers outside the eaves of the courtyard, and saw Situ Yunmeng sitting in the pavilion reading a book at the moment, with a white skirt fluttering in the wind, just like a pretty white orchid.

said that she was reading a book, but in fact, Situ Yunmeng couldn't read this book at all, she lowered her hand holding the book, put her other hand on her chest, and said in her heart: "Why haven't you come back yet?" I really miss you, Ah Ye~"

Han Ye saw Yun Meng like this, as if he had found a flat boat in the sea of bitterness, rushed out of the flowers, and went up to hug Yun Meng, this hug was used very much, plus he had been practicing martial arts for a long time, and he almost didn't hold Yun Meng's bones apart.

"Cloud Dream! I miss you so much!! ”

Yun Meng let him hold him, his eyes were so shocked that he lost his breath, and the book fell to the ground with a snap and he didn't have time to pick it up. When she finally reacted, she leaned her chin on Han Ye's shoulder, and said urgently: "You, you are so strong!" Is it okay to light, light? But in his heart, he was angry: "You want to strangle me, you?!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm so excited. Han Ye was a little relieved, Situ Yunmeng immediately broke free from his arms, Han Ye didn't know why, thought she was going to run, and hurriedly said, "What are you doing!" ”

Situ Yunmeng didn't speak, tears welled up in his eyes, wiped the dust off his forehead with his plain sleeve, stroked his face, and really felt that he was right in front of him, and suddenly returned him a hug, and said excitedly: "Ah Ye is back!" My Ah Ye is back! ”

"You're not small, okay?" Han Ye complained bitterly in his heart, but immediately, the joy overshadowed these bitterness, and he said to Yun Meng: "Thank you for still waiting for me!" Do you know? My father and sister were killed, and I ......! ”

"Uh-huh, yes. Don't worry, I'll be with you in the future! I will be with you in the future! Yun Meng stroked Han Ye's back and said pityingly, "Then let's leave now, shall we?" Where you go, I go. ”

"Hmm!" Thinking of being able to wander the rivers and lakes with his childhood sweetheart, Han Ye was extremely excited, he let go of his arms, took Situ Yunmeng's hand and said: "Yunmeng, let's go and resolve my master's grievances together, with you with me, I'm not afraid of anything." ”

"Okay!" Situ Yunmeng smiled like a flower and asked, "By the way, who is your master?" Second uncle? ”

Han Ye touched his head and said, "It's the King of Hades, hehe!" Han Ye was too happy to notice that when Situ Yunmeng heard the words "Seeking Hell", his face became very ugly, and his willow eyebrows were tightly twisted and he couldn't let go.

"Ah Ye." Situ Yunmeng sighed, withdrew his hand, and said solemnly to Han Ye, "Why do you want to recognize him as a master?" He is brutal and murderous, you can't be his apprentice! ”

"Oops!" Han Ye ran back and took Yun Meng's hand again, explaining: "He is very good to me, and he also has difficulties." ”

"What's the trouble?!" Situ Yunmeng's voice became more and more excited, tears rolled in his eyes, and he said angrily: "Snatch you away from me?" Leaving you out there disgraced? He's a heinous demon, Ah Ye! You're finally able to come back, and you can't go with him anymore, okay? ”

Han Ye didn't expect that his childhood sweetheart Xiao Yunmeng would become so excited, and he hurriedly explained: "No, no! He's dead! ”

As soon as he heard that the wicked man was dead, Situ Yun didn't even think about it, and vented all the loneliness and depression of the past few days on the life-seeking Hades, and blurted out: "Good death!" Deserve! ”

Before he finished speaking, Han Ye clenched his fists, trembling with anger, and asked Situ Yunmeng in a cold voice, "What did you say?" Say it again! ”

"Dead ......!" Situ Yunmeng almost scolded again, but seeing that Han Ye's expression became terrifying, he hurriedly said, "Why can't I say it?" Why?! ”

Han Ye shook his head and said disheartenedly, "Because he is my master." ”

"Are you sick?" Situ Yunmeng scolded bitterly in his heart, but he said angrily: "If you have to recognize this master, I won't let you take me away!" ”

"Okay...... Han Ye said coldly, "I'll go alone." ”

Han Ye's cold tone and words made Situ Yunmeng's heart extremely cold.

Seeing that Situ Yunmeng didn't speak, Han Ye pretended to be indifferent and said, "I've figured it out, I've grown up too." Yunmeng, you are a young lady, so you don't have to suffer with me in the first place. ”

Seeing Situ Yunmeng lowering his head and his right hand tightly grasping the placket of his clothes, Han Ye said again: "Do you know? Since Master's death, the road back has been full of thorns and mud, and the only thing I have thought about is that I will take you away! ”

"That'...... Take me away! Situ Yunmeng thought about the bits and pieces with Han Ye, and thought, "Even if the King of Yama hates it, I'll go with you." ”

But in the end, she couldn't say it and held it in her heart.

Han Ye said to himself: "Just now, I figured it out. You are like a white rose, always so beautiful and spotless, I don't want you to follow me to encounter those thorns and mud. ”

Situ Yunmeng listened and said, "But I'm willing!" ”

Han Ye saw that she didn't speak, but she acquiesced, looked up at the sky, smiled coldly, and said, "Yes...... What do you want me to take you away, in fact, you just want to run outside to play and see the outside world......" As she spoke, Han Ye looked at Situ Yunmeng, and saw that her willow eyebrows were low and her eyes were ruddy, so she couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so she lowered her head and said: "I have seen the outside world, but it is too bitter and dangerous, and it is not suitable for you." ”

Situ Yunmeng couldn't hold back any longer, covered his mouth with his hands, and began to cry.

Before this, Han Ye and Situ Yunmeng had never quarreled, in Han Ye's mind, Situ Yunmeng was empathetic and obedient, she would agree and agree to anything she said, and never thought that things would develop to this point, but a faint feeling of distress flashed in his heart, and he felt that it would be a pity to leave like this, so he breathed a long sigh of relief and asked, "Yunmeng, do you think it's right for you to say this to my master?" ”

"You big bastard!!" Situ Yunmeng couldn't answer anything Han Ye said, picked up the book on the ground, threw it at Han Ye, smashed it in his face, and scolded: "I don't want to see you again!" Get lost!!! ”

"As you wish!" Han Ye kicked the book on the ground, turned his back to Situ Yunmeng, and slowly left Beiyuan under her gaze, and said in his heart: "Hmph, you have changed!" You're not the cloud dream I like anymore! ”

Although Situ Yunmeng couldn't understand Han Ye, he had gradually regained his composure, looked at him and drifted away, and thought gloomily: "Ah Ye, you are really too much today, but ...... I still like you, I've always liked you...... That's it, I really don't know anything now, maybe it will drag you down, you go, I'll come back to me when you figure it out. With that in mind, he turned and left the pavilion.

"Yunmeng......" Han Ye regretted a little, and turned his head to look at Situ Yunmeng as he walked, but saw that she had already left, and said in a sad heart: "Also, I can't even protect myself now, and I want you to accompany me to resolve Master's grievances...... If you're going to be fine, just stay in Mingjian Hall and wait for me to come back, okay? ”

Thinking of the two terrible enemies in the East Garden, Han Ye suddenly realized that he should not stay any longer, so he clenched his fists and turned into a dark blue lone shadow and left the North Garden, far away from this place that would still haunt him in the future.

When Han Ye left, Situ Yunmeng had already turned around and looked at him again, his heart was extremely lost, but he still clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said with tears in his eyes: "Jade pendant, jade pendant, please protect Ah Ye for me, please." ”

Under the cold moonlight, the child lowered his head in frustration, he couldn't hear Yun Meng's heart, and he didn't know how long he would leave this time, he drank the wine in the wine bag sadly, and looked back at the Ming Jian Hall where he had lived for more than ten years, and thousands of sorrows came to his heart.

"I'll be back, be careful, Yunmeng!" Han Ye was full of longing, carrying Longquan on his back and leaving for others.

Wandering the world with a single sword

Sigh for the lonely night, the cold sword is like frost, and the sea of blood is deep and hateful. Fluttering flocculent, rainy, difficult to hide the past.

Thinking about old dreams, sad and broken, where is the tenderness of Qingshan now? The silent moon is flowing clouds, the wind is bleak, and Mo laughs and is crazy.

And time flies, and it is eight years in a flash......
