The serpent was like a dragon, the smallest of them was several zhang long, the largest was more than a dozen zhang, its belly was as white as snow and its back was covered with inky scales like a cloud brocade.

The giant tree was surrounded by a mountain wall, and it was also the low slope along which the serpent climbed. The huge body collided with the mountain wall, the rumbling sound echoed in all directions, all the giant trees shook, and a heavy snow fell in the darkness, and dark green leaves fell from the sky.

There was a faint light from the darkness in the heights, faint like fireflies.

The girl's face was extremely pale, she was not afraid of the powerful, but of the snake itself, she had been afraid of snakes since she was a child, not to mention that the snakes here were so huge.

Bai Jiu and Ximen Ye were silent, watching the fireflies disappear into darkness in the distance, and the world around them was calm again.

The faces of both of them were ugly, and this ugliness changed from the shock of the giant snake swimming in the forest at the beginning, to the difference between the giant snake disappearing into the forest now, and there were two different meanings.

Bai Jiu whispered, "I can't see it." ”

Ximen Ye's eyebrows were raised slightly, and he slowly unsheathed them like two sharp swords.

Both looked into the woods.

The forest was so quiet that there seemed to be a ghost sneaking in the darkness.

The tense atmosphere lasted for a long time, and even the girl who had been complaining did not speak.

There was no breeze, no sound, no light, not even breathing.

The atmosphere was very eerie.

The serpent awoke from its slumber and disappeared into the cliffs, nowhere to be found.

Why is that?

If the three of them woke up, why did those giant snakes run away, as if they were hiding from something, the three of them thought that they could not have such a deterrent, then it must be because of other reasons.

Wake up, disappear, dodge, escape, what kind of existence will make these giant snakes, who have survived for at least a hundred years, act so timidly and fearfully.

There is no sound, time is passing.

Just when Bai Jiu and Ximen Ye thought that their judgment was wrong.

In the darkness in the distance, a bright light suddenly appeared.

It was like a firefly gradually expanding, then like the moon in the sky, then like the morning sun, until finally I found out that it was a lantern candle.

In the darkness, someone was walking with a lantern.

The black clothes are like a piece of night draped over the body, and the lights are like the guiding lights on the underworld.

They walked in the woods, silent.

The huge black coat covers the body, and it is impossible to see how to walk, as if it is a ghost.

It turns out that in this forest, there are still their existence.

The west is away from the Meizu, and the legend is a mysterious clan who can shuttle between the two worlds of yin and yang to know the life and death of people.

As the night of the Xili Dynasty, the shadow of the Empress Xili, they have been the followers of the Empress since they appeared in this world.

No one knows how powerful their race is, and no one knows why their race exists, shuttling between yin and yang, knowing life and death, does it really have such an inexplicable ability?

..............

Bai Jiu has read a lot of books, Ximen Ye has read some, and the girl has been learning murder and listening to stories because of her master.

Regarding the existence of Xili Meizu, the things recorded in the Dayu book boil down to just the word mystery.

Ximen Ye had heard some rumors, these words did not come from the master, but from the little uncle who took over the snow building in the north.

As the most beloved and only female disciple of the contemporary Luoxue Mansion owner, the girl has naturally heard of it.

Uncle Xiao said that when he was young, he walked the rivers and lakes, and went to Xili at that time, the empress was not too old, and Meizu was not yet famous in the world. They came from the bottomless valley behind the sunset city, and that valley is the closest place to the underworld according to legend, he had seen the people of the Meizu kill people, and at that moment it was as if he had lost all his mental energy, was hollowed out of his body, and then became a dead man.

The cultivation method of Meizu people seems to be different from all cultivators, and Uncle Xiao said that he can't see the fluctuation of true qi, nor can he feel the breath of the realm, as if he is a person who can't practice, but he can breathe people's hearts, like a ghost.

With the strength of Bai Jiu and the others, even if those giant snakes were killed together, it would be very difficult. However, when they felt the presence of Meizu's people, they disappeared directly into the forest, not knowing where they were hiding.

Coming from the netherworld, knowing life and death, no one is afraid of death, and it seems that animals are the same.

As the lights gradually approached, Bai Jiujue felt a little cold and uncomfortable, and the three of them hid in the forest, and none of them made a sound.

The girl stood between the two, her eyes without the slightest hint of nervousness, and after a moment of silence, she took out an umbrella from behind her and held it up.

The umbrella looked old, and the oiled paper wrapped around it looked very old, but it didn't have the slightest wrinkles.

The oil-paper umbrella was very light, and the girl held it up and stretched it out.

The moment the umbrella was opened, the feeling disappeared.

Bai Jiujue's mind returned to tranquility, no longer cold, no longer uncomfortable, and no longer nervous.

More than a dozen black-clothed people walked through the forest in front of them, and the leader was holding a lantern, the light was fiery red without the slightest depth, and there was no feeling like the legendary soul guiding lamp, but it had been guiding the direction, and there was no warmth at all.

The road that Bai Jiu saw with his eyes, it turned out that they had also found it with this lantern.

It seemed that they didn't notice the existence of Bai Jiu Ximen Ye at all, so they walked slowly, without looking at the forest on both sides, and gradually disappeared into the shadows in the distance.

The Meizu people walked by, and all the creatures retreated, which was really shocking.

...........

A long time passed, until the three of them could no longer see the fire, until Bai Jiu was sure that the men had come out of the woods.

The girl put away her umbrella and put it behind her.

"Let's go." Bai Jiu said.

Ximen Ye walked up to the girl, looked at the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The girl looked into the distance, thought for a moment and said, "I think something is strange. ”

Bai Jiu also felt a little strange, because the feeling of Meizu people made him very uncomfortable when they arrived, and then after the girl raised the umbrella, that uncomfortable feeling disappeared.

It seemed that he and the girl both sensed a difference.

"Maybe it's the breath of the Netherworld."

Ximen Ye said slowly.

Maybe that's how it feels.

Bai Jiu glanced at the umbrella, but he didn't see the slightest strangeness, so he shook his head strangely.

Ximen Ye looked at the little girl strangely, thinking that the senior sister seemed to have made a very wise decision today.

It's a strange thing to do.

The three of them smiled, and Bai Jiu looked at the light behind the hillside, and then walked towards the forest, into the shadows.

On the low hillside is the cliffside.

The cliffside is not a mountain cliff, but a mountain seen from afar, and a river seen from a close distance.

The three of them walked up the hill, the distribution of trees on both sides gradually expanded, and the dense branches above their heads gradually became scarce, and then the three of them saw the sun.

The light fell through the gaps between the branches, reflecting the dark green foliage, like the thick clouds of the sky.

As time passed, the clouds gradually dispersed, the sunlight broke through the clouds, the shattered light gradually merged, the temperature warmed, the red light reflected, and finally the sun appeared in the sky.

White clouds roam the sky, like sheep in the grassland.

There was a loud clattering sound in my ears, and a wide silver ribbon appeared in front of me, which was a huge river that spanned the earth.

The wind and sand are no more, and it is still a sunny day.

Bai Jiu has walked through half of Dayu and seen a lot of scenery. The high mountains are as majestic as the Qinling Mountains, and the rivers are majestic and mighty like the heavens and waters........

However, the river in front of you is not as wide as Tianshui, nor is it far from the source of Tianshui, but it has the majesty of Tianshui.

I walked out of the forest and saw the sun shining all over the mountains and rivers.

After walking through the green hills, I saw the river between heaven and earth.

Just like a person has walked out of the haze, there is infinite hope in front of him, and that feeling is like new rain washing away dust, like wind and clouds, such as openness, like a long stream, like empty mountains and new rain, and the chest is open.

The girl stretched out comfortably, and under the sun, her already agile face looked even brighter at this time.

Bai Jiu walked to the river and looked at the other side of the river, only to see that between the heaven and the earth in the distance, there was a slender gray straight line across it, and I don't know how many square circles there were.

..........

A huge river divides the Tangling Tomb into two, half of the green mountains and the other half of the vast plains.

There are gardens and mausoleums in the green mountains, which is where the mausoleum of the Li royal family of the Tang Dynasty is located, there are rare strange beasts in the world and the Tang Emperor Deadpool who has become a human puppet.

And what about the other side of the river? What would be in that vast plain? What is the gray line between heaven and earth?

"I think it's the Tang Gate Ruins."

Ximen walked to the riverbank at night and stood side by side with Bai Jiu.

Bai Jiu turned his head to look at him, holding the hilt of his sword in his right hand.

Bai Jiu had a lot of things to ask along the way, but he never spoke.

Ximen Ye knew that it was an inquiry, but there were some things that were really difficult to explain: "Brother Tang and I have known each other for a long time, and Tang Ling has always been his regret. Uncle Xiao has been wandering in the world for many years, and there are secrets in the Tang Tomb that we didn't expect, so this time the Tang Tomb is opened, and we will hide our identities and come. ”

Then he smiled and said, "I don't know if our name can make you believe that we are good people." ”

He is the Ximen Night of the Sword Sect, Bai Jiu naturally knows, but who is that girl? Who is the little uncle of the Sword Sect?

"Uncle Xiao left the mountain gate a long time ago, this is no longer a secret secret in the cultivation world, he now has another identity - the contemporary owner of the Luoxue Building."

Bai Jiu was a little surprised, very shocked!

Luoxue Building itself is a legendary organization, and the contemporary landlord Jiang Qiyun is the one who promotes this legend, it turns out that he is the legendary junior uncle of the Sword Sect.

Ximen Ye continued: "Senior sister is the only female apprentice of Uncle Xiao, so my words are disrespectful along the way from Uncle Shi's favor, and I hope Brother Bai will not mind." Why do we help you, in fact, before this, you had a kind relationship with us. ”

Bai Jiu didn't understand.

"Mr. Two and Mr. Three saved Senior Brother Bai, and Zhushan is kind to Luoxue Building."
