In a valley on the outskirts of Beijing, a group of people formed a circle, in the circle was a platform piled up with dry firewood, a white cloth was spread on the platform, and a young woman was lying on the cloth, her eyes were closed, and her face was serene, it was Tang Yun.

"Yun'er, let's go home." Zhu Wenyu looked at Tang Yun on the pyre, muttered, stretched out his hand, threw the torch in his hand on the pyre, and the dry pyre immediately ignited, and after a while, a flame of more than a foot high appeared.

"Yun'er ......" Zhu Wenyu stood there motionless, just staring at the beating flames in a daze.

Tang Li, who was next to "Miss ......", was already unable to control himself, and threw himself into Nangong Ling's arms and cried silently.

Tang Yanxiong looked at his daughter who slowly disappeared into the fire, his expression was silent, Shen Yuanxue stood in the distance, but secretly wiped her old tears.

And the desert brought in a few sticks of dry wood, and added them to the fire, and the flame rose even higher.

"Let's go home, Yun'er, let's go home together." Zhu Wenyu muttered.

In late autumn, on the road on the outskirts of Chengdu, Sichuan, several horses walked slowly, and there were two carriages in the middle.

The group stopped at a fork in the road.

"Wen Yu, are you really going to go with Mr. Zhang?" Shen Yuanxue's voice came from a carriage, and it was Tang Shuyu who was sitting in the driver's seat.

"Grandma, I really want to be quiet." Zhu Wenyu arched his hand at the carriage.

"Well, it's okay, when do you want to come back, you must bring Yun'er back to see grandma."

"I see, Grandma." Zhu Wenyu touched the burden that had been tightly tied to his back and said in a low voice.

"Wen Yu." Tang Yanxiong also shouted on the side of the carriage.

"Daddy." Along the way, Zhu Wenyu has changed his name.

"Take care." Tang Yanxiong didn't say much, only said.

"Take care of Daddy, too." Zhu Wenyu is also a hand.

"Mr. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, take care." Tang Yanxiong arched his hand towards Zhang Wuji again.

"Take care of the door owner, take care of the castle master." Zhang Wuji returned the salute, and Zhao Min's voice also came from the other car.

"Let's go." Nangong Ling hit the horse, pulled the horse's head, and walked along the official road on the right, Tang Li hurriedly beat the horse to follow, followed by Tang Yanxiong and Shen Yuanxue's carriage, Tang Liuyun and the other three big girls followed the car one by one, and the group slowly went north.

"Wen Yu, let's go too." It wasn't until Tang Yanxiong and the others couldn't see it that Zhang Wuji spoke up.

"Yes, Master." Zhu Wenyu said in a low voice.

"Let's go." Zhao Min in the car.

"Drive!" The desert sitting in the driver's seat whipped up, and the car moved.

Everyone went all the way to the south, but a few days have entered Danling County, this time to Danling, Zhu Wenyu's mood is completely different, and he does not want to disturb Moduo again, and intends to bypass the main road.

Everyone was doing it on their own, but they saw a group of people on a small road next to them, and there was also a big cart among them, and those people didn't seem to be Han Chinese, they were all dressed as Miao people.

Sichuan is a place where Miao and Han people live together, and there are often Miao people coming and going, Zhu Wenyu didn't care at first, who knew that occasionally he swept at will, but found that the team of Miao people led the way was actually the great protector of the Yunnan Five Poisons Sect "Dragon Sand" Jiang Shaoping, Zhu Wenyu had seen it several times in Chengdu.

Seeing Jiang Shaoping, Zhu Wenyu suddenly remembered Maya. Since the last time he was kidnapped by Feng Heyuan, the deputy leader of the Tianyi Alliance, Zhu Wenyu led people to smash the Tianyi Valley, but no trace of Maya was found, and even the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, "Ethereal Immortal", He Honghua, died tragically in the valley. Later, when he returned to the capital, Zhu Wenyu tried every means to inquire about Maya's whereabouts, but Chen Hanyi said that Maya was in the hands of Du Feng, who was "bloody knife", and then later encountered Zhu Yuanzhang who wanted to deal with Zhang Wuji, and things happened one after another, and he never heard any news about Maya. Tang Yun committed suicide, Zhu Wenyu was so shocked that he almost went mad, and he couldn't take care of it for a while, seeing Jiang Shaoping at this time, Zhu Wenyu was moved again, and hurriedly hit the horse and ran over.

The Miao people over there saw someone approaching and looked over strangely, and Jiang Shaoping immediately recognized Zhu Wenyu.

"Sect Leader Jiang." Zhu Wenyu hugged his fists. He Honghua died in Zhu Wenyu's arms, and before his death, he ordered Jiang Shaoping to take over as the leader of the Five Poisons Sect.

"It turned out to be Zhu Shaoxia." Jiang Shaoping replied indifferently.

"Sect Leader Jiang, who are you?"

"The Five Immortal Sect has withdrawn from the Tianyi Alliance, and the sect leader has also met with misfortune, the Central Plains is not where my Five Immortal Sect stays, let's go back to Lijiang."

"That'...... Sect Leader Chiang, is there any news from Maya? Zhu Wenyu asked eagerly.

“…… No, Jiang was also very anxious. Jiang Shaoping hesitated for a moment and replied.

"Oh." Zhu Wenyu was disappointed for a while, but immediately said busily: "I have inquired about Maya's news, but I don't know where she is now, I will look for her again, I must find it." ”

"That'...... Jiang could only thank Zhu Shaoxia. Jiang Shaoping arched his hand.

"I'll look for it, and I'll look for it when I've settled some things." Zhu Wenyu nodded.

"Then thank you Zhu Shaoxia."

Zhu Wenyu was silent, and after a while, he suddenly felt that he really didn't know what to say, and there seemed to be nothing to say, so he arched his hand towards Jiang Shaoping: "The sect leader has a good way." So saying, he turned his horse's head and walked back along the same path.

Jiang Shaoping looked at Zhu Wenyu from afar, lowered his head and whispered to the carriage lane next to him: "Why don't you see him?" ”

There was silence in the car, and after a long time, a sentence sounded: "Let's go." ”

Maya, who was sitting in the car, was already in tears, and glanced at Du Feng lying at her feet, her eyes full of resentment.

Na Du Feng felt Maya's eyes, and involuntarily shrunk, but he had already been provoked to break his tendons and tendons, and he had been poisoned, but he couldn't move at all, so he had to look at Maya dryly, his eyes were full of begging.

Maya looked at Du Feng resentfully, looked at Zhu Wenyu's shadow through the curtain of the carriage again, sighed, and slowly stroked a sword in her hand. It was a strange-shaped sword, the sword body was curved, the sword head was bifurcated, like a constantly beating snake, the tail circled into the hilt, and the whole body was golden, it was made of pure gold and steel, and the sword body was also extremely sharp.

This was originally a golden snake sword that Du Feng had robbed when he was a lone thief before, but Du Feng used a knife as a weapon, but Yu was not good at swordsmanship, so he only collected it carefully. After kidnapping Maya, he was taken to Dujiangyan's lair and stained Maya several times.

Who knew that He Honghua gave a kind of Gu poison for each female apprentice back then, hidden in the shoes, in case of emergency, to save his life in case of emergency, Maya suddenly recalled this incident when she was desperate, and finally took advantage of Du Feng's unbridled lust to poison him, and then got out of trouble, and tortured Du Feng to death, causing him to suffer endless suffering, and it was still lost in the hands of He Honghua. Maya was deeply resentful, and refused to let go, and took out all the gold and silver treasures that Du Feng had hidden for many years, brought them back to Chengdu, and then returned to Yunnan with the congregation. Along the way, Du Feng was rectified by Maya to the point that he died and came back to life without a way into the sky, and it can be regarded as his retribution for decades of evil.

The Five Poisons Sect and his entourage went all the way south, returned to Lijiang, reorganized the religious affairs, and executed Du Feng with the most cruel punishment to sacrifice the former sect leader He Honghua, and then Jiang Shaoping succeeded as the sect leader, Maya became a special protector, and a few months later, Maya gave birth to a son, and then devoted himself to teaching his son in the sect, and never left Lijiang for half a step.

As for the Golden Snake Sword, it was properly treasured by the Five Poisons Sect, and Maya also combined the learned swordsmanship with the Golden Snake Sword Heterogeneity to create a set of Golden Snake Sword Techniques, which was collected as the treasure of the Town Sect together with the Golden Snake Sword, until it was stolen by the Golden Snake Langjun Xia Xueyi hundreds of years later, and finally became a legend of "Blue Blood Sword".

Zhu Wenyu and Zhang Wuji and other people avoided the main road, only along the country road, seeing that they would soon be able to enter the mountain, seeing that the sky was close to noon, they dismounted and hit the tip, and inquired, it turned out that this place was called Dahan Village.

As soon as he heard the name of Dahan Village, Zhu Wenyu felt a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, and went back to tell the master. When Zhang Wuji heard this, his heart was shocked, and he immediately remembered that in Tianyi Valley, Chen Hanyi had said that he had accidentally obtained the martial arts secret of the Nine Yin White Bone Claw in the deep mountains, and he mentioned that it was in a nunnery, and this nunnery was in the mountains not far from this Dahan Village.

Before Chen Hanyi, there were only two people in the world who knew the martial arts of the Nine Yin White Bone Claws, one was a woman surnamed Yang, who had helped herself expose the true face of the fake beggar gang leader "Golden and Silver Palm" Shi Huolong, and the other was Zhou Zhiruo, the head of the original Emei faction and his childhood friend!

Since the Shaolin Lion Slaughter Conference, Zhang Wuji has only seen Zhou Zhiruo once, and after returning to Zhao Min, he has never seen her again, and it has been more than 20 years in a blink of an eye. As soon as I saw Chen Hanyi's martial arts last time, I immediately wanted to ask Zhou Zhiruo's whereabouts, but who knew that Chen Hanyi didn't know, and today I actually arrived in Dahan Village, where Chen Hanyi first obtained the secret of Jiuyin White Bone Claw martial arts, maybe there will be news of Zhou Zhiruo, how can Zhang Wuji not be excited?

After discussing with Zhao Minxiao, Zhang Wuji decided to inquire about the location of the nunnery immediately, and he couldn't wait to have news of Zhou Zhiruo immediately.

Sure enough, in the mouth of the old people in the village, they heard that there was indeed a nunnery in the deep mountains more than ten miles behind Dahan Village, and there used to be a young nun, but for some reason it disappeared after a few years, and no one went there for more than ten years.

Zhang Wuji hurriedly inquired about the direction, and ran towards that side with light work. Zhu Wenyu, Desert, and Zhao Min with their three children also followed closely behind, more than ten miles of mountain roads, but they arrived in half an hour.

The nunnery is really very dilapidated, only two huts stand in the woods halfway up the mountainside, the roof is broken with a few big holes, the wooden door also falls off the ground, everywhere is weeds and dust, spider silk is dense, stepping into the back of the main hall, I saw a statue of Guanyin fall from the Buddha seat, fell to the ground, the paint has already peeled off to reveal the adobe inside.

Zhang Wuji looked around inside and out, and almost searched the two halls to the bottom, but there was no abnormality, not only did not have a trace of Zhou Zhiruo, but there was no trace of success.

Helpless, Zhang Wuji had to move the Guanyin statue from the ground to the platform and put it away, took a step back, and was about to bow down to worship, when his whole body was shocked, and blurted out: "Min'er, come and see!"

Zhao Min hurriedly walked over when he heard this, looked up, and was also shocked, and blurted out: "Miss Zhou?!"

It turned out that although it was a statue of Guanyin with a willow net bottle, Guanyin held the net bottle in one hand, and the other hand had been broken, revealing the adobe inside, but the sound and appearance were very similar to Zhou Zhiruo twenty years ago.

"Zhiruo must be here, must be here." Zhang Wuji muttered, and frantically searched for it again.

Zhu Wenyu didn't know what the master was looking for, so he didn't dare to disturb, but he just helped to look around to see if there was anything special, picked up the broken Guanyin hand from the ground, and tried to catch the broken arm of the Guanyin statue. The three fingers of the hand lightly touched the willow branch, and the other two fingers were slightly retracted towards the palm.

Zhu Wenyu took a half step back with his broken arm, looked up, and felt that Guanyin's face seemed to be smiling, and a pair of eyes on Baoxiang's solemn face actually revealed a cunning, only to feel a little weird.

"This willow branch is kind of interesting." Stand behind the desert abrupt road.

"What?" Zhu Wenyu didn't hear clearly for a while, and asked casually.

"Generally, willow branches hang down in the hand, but this statue of Guanyin actually floats up with the wind when holding willow branches, not downward." Desert Road.

"It's kind of weird." Zhu Wenyu took a closer look and said.

"Could it be ......," the desert muttered, "Could it be ...... Meaning?!"

Zhu Sha and the others were shocked, and then looked closely at the willow branch, only to see that the willow branch seemed to rise with the wind, pointing to the temple wall next to it.

"Could it be that this wall is weird?" Zhu Wenyu walked over and looked up and down carefully, but it was an ordinary earthen wall, and there was nothing unusual about it. "Nothing special." Zhu Wenyu said deflated.

"Look behind the wall, what's it?" The desert is in the middle of the house.

"Behind the wall is a mountain, a wall of stone." As soon as Zhu Wenyu finished speaking, his heart suddenly moved, and he looked at the stone carefully, and sure enough, he saw some traces of man-made masonry.

"Master, Master, come on!" Zhu Wenyu shouted.

"What?" Zhang Wuji hurried over.

"This wall!" Zhu Wenyu pointed a finger.

Zhang Wuji took a closer look, took half a step back, concentrated his energy, and slapped his palm lightly, but saw that the stone wall suddenly collapsed, and with a few booms, several stones fell in, and the inside of the wall was actually empty, revealing a hole!

Zhang Wuji's heart fluttered, and he took out a few palms in a row, sweeping away the stones at the entrance of the cave, revealing a half-human-high hole. Zhao Min next to him had already prepared a torch and handed it over.

Zhang Wuji glanced back at his wife, and Zhao Min smiled faintly.

Zhang Wuji nodded, bent down, and went into the hole, Zhu Wenyu also got in, then the desert, and finally Zhao Min with the three brothers and sisters of Mingwu, Mingxun, and Mingzhao.

The entrance of the cave was only half a person high at the beginning, who knew that the higher and higher, the wider and wider, straight into more than ten zhang, the eyes suddenly brightened, to a stone room.

The stone chamber was full of dust, and there was a stone platform on the wall, on which was a stone table, and on the table was a candlestick, and the candles on the candlestick had long since burned out. Next to the candlestick is pen and ink, which has long since dried up, and next to the pen and ink is a stack of paper.

However, all eyes did not pay attention to this, but instead focused on a skeleton next to the stone table.

The flesh and skin of the skeleton had long since melted away, and only an empty skeleton remained, sitting on a futon, but wearing a girl's dress, which seemed to be still pink, but had faded white because of the passage of time. On the ground in front of the skeleton, a folded earth-gray nun's Zen robe was neatly arranged.

Zhang Wuji looked cautiously at the table, and saw that there were two pages on the yellowed paper with a few lines of Juanxiu words written on them, and he gently took them and looked at them carefully.

Zhao Min also leaned over and read softly: "Emei is late, the wind is lonely, and the makeup is lazy." Temporary inspection point, no reason, pinch the embroidery fan. In the old days, the beams chased the swallows, and the butterflies were caught among the flowers. Look at the deciduous sycamore, the love of Du Ruo, the dream lock desolate forest courtyard; Do you know? Under the bitterness, the dry lamp side, the person is full of a single month. If the red tears are washed, the new sorrow and old hatred will be filled, so as to fill the old song lovesickness. It is difficult to show willow eyebrows, who to sue? I want to be away from the people and geese, and the heart is farther than dusk. ”

Looking at another page, it is also a poem: "The night is deeper, the moon and stars are late, and the lights are dim now." Youyou's mind is entangled, and he recites the scriptures thousands of times in vain. Thinking of the old days, on the bank of the Han River, we met to feed porridge and rice. Leaning on the sky and turning the sword, the sound of the drums of the war, the light on the top, provokes lovesickness; The teacher was gracious, and he made a tearful oath before the Buddha, and finally deceived him against his will. Liangchen hides a sword under his clothes, just for Emei's wish. For a while, I cried secretly, how to endure Zhang Lang's face. Hidden desert. But I only wish to be merciful, Master Guanyin, and take that person for your attention. ”

Zhang Wuji mourned in his heart: "Zhiruo ......"

It was another fire, but this time it was a pair of dry bones.

"I didn't expect that we and Miss Zhou were less than 100 miles apart, but we didn't know each other, we have been separated for more than 20 years, and we haven't even seen each other, which is really a trick." Zhao Min snuggled up to her husband, holding Ming Zhao's hand in her hand, and said quietly.

"Zhiruo has suffered countless times in her life, and since that separation, she has only lived for five years, alas, I hurt her...... Zhang Wuji sighed.

"If I knew this was the case, it would be better to bring Miss Zhou here, how good it would be for us to live together as a family." Zhao Min said.

"No, it won't." Zhang Wuji shook his head and said: "She won't, if there is no matter of her father-in-law, and there is also the matter of Senior Brother Song, maybe it is possible." She is modest and weak on the outside, but she is very strong on the inside, although these things are not her intention, but she knows that she hurts me deeply, with her temperament, she will never be with us again. What's more, there is you, Min'er, she also injured you with the Nine Yin White Bone Claw......"

"Those were all forced by the exterminator to do it. Miss Zhou, it's so pitiful......" Zhao Min sighed.

"Anyway, we've finally found her, so let's let her live with us."

"Well, just find a place at the foot of the mountain where we live, it's beautiful and quiet, she must like ......" Zhao Min nodded.
