The cold night is deepening, and the stars are low.

The moon shines into the mountains, and between the mountains and mountains, there are all kinds of light flashing from time to time.

And just in the middle of this path, there is a small spirit boat wandering leisurely in it. The hull of the boat was firmly protected by a large protective array, and on the outside, two figures, one large and one small, could be vaguely seen standing quietly on the deck, and the shadows depended on each other.

"Grandpa, why are they flying so fast?" On the spirit boat, a young boy with a drooping hair pulled the corner of the white-haired old man's clothes beside him, pointed to the sword light speeding in the sky and asked.

"Those who fly extremely fast are called sword cultivators." The old man smiled lovingly, stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of the girl's fluffy head, "Our Ah Li is also going to Xianmen to learn art soon, maybe in a few years, you can also be like them with one person and one sword, and be dashing!" ”

Chu Li's eyes widened, and they were full of confusion: "Grandpa, what is sword cultivation?" ”

"There are thousands of cultivators in this world, and the so-called sword cultivation is just one of them." The old man raised his head slightly and looked up at the thousands of stars in the night sky, "There are thousands of cultivators, and the most prosperous one in millions of years is Fa cultivation. It's not that kendo is declining, it's just that in comparison, it is much more difficult to enter the way with a sword than other ways. So over the years, there have been fewer and fewer monks who choose to cultivate swords. But Ah Li, you must know that in the same level, sword cultivation is almost invincible, so once the sword cultivation is successful, it will inevitably achieve a great power and be admired by thousands of people. ”

"Then Ah Li will also do sword cultivation in the future!" Chu Li jumped on the spot excitedly, "I also want to become a powerful monk like my father and mother!" ”

The old man's face was slightly stunned, and he didn't know if he remembered any sad past, and his expression suddenly darkened.

"Ah Li still remembers his father and mother?"

Chu Li nodded: "I remember, I still remember that my mother and father often watched peach blossoms in the small courtyard in front of the mountain!" It's just grandpa, why didn't my mother and father come back after leaving for so long? Don't they want to leave? ”

The old man forced a smile, took out a hairpin made of peach wood from the Sumeru ring, and gently inserted it into the small tugs on Chu Li's head: "How could it be?" They just went to a far, far away place and couldn't come back for a while. You see, this hairpin is a birthday gift from your mother's trustee, which shows that your mother and father have not forgotten you at all. ”

"Really?" Chu Li blinked curiously, and the old man just gently took Chu Li into his arms, smiling without saying a word.

The age of five or six is certainly active, but after a long day's journey, he can't help but lean on the old man's chest and fall asleep.

The old man lowered his eyes and lovingly brushed the broken hair in front of Chu Li's forehead behind his ears.

That long sigh seemed so abrupt in this quiet night.

In the end, he is too young to know the cruelty of this world.

It's just that I don't know if when you grow up, you will hold a grudge against your grandfather for concealing it today.

"It's a pity that you are a five-spirit root, and I don't know if there is a real person willing to accept you......"

"Boom—"

"Who?" The old man was slightly stunned, and cautiously used a trace of divine sense to investigate the situation outside the spirit boat.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the divine consciousness came out of the protective array, it was enveloped in a wisp of black smoke and annihilated.

"It's an evil cultivator!"

"Boom-boom-"

The formation was still being bombarded continuously, and the old man endured the pain of his divine consciousness being cut off and pinched a trick in Chu Li's ear to isolate her hearing, and then sent her to the boat to face the foreign enemy alone.

Those who come are not good, and they can cut off their divine consciousness with one move, and their cultivation will be above themselves.

The old man's expression gradually became solemn, holding the array plate in one hand and pinching the magic technique with the other, making the formation run rapidly.

"Let's take it by the mercy of it, maybe I'll be happy and I can keep you with a whole corpse!"

The eerie voice passed through the formation and echoed leisurely in the old man's ears.

Seeing that the old man didn't say a word, the evil cultivators outside actually laughed ruefully, and then took the spirit banner with one hand, leading countless evil ghosts to attack the formation.

"Nine Souls Palace!" The old man was shocked, and he didn't know how long this formation would last.

But time was running out, and between the fingers, several tricks were played, and they were blessed on the array plate.

"Insect carving skills. Since you insist on stubbornly resisting, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

The evil cultivator stretched his hands, and countless evil ghosts and ghosts gushed out from the spirit flag, surrounding the entire spirit boat to gnaw and suck the spirit.

Occasionally, monks passed by not far away, and they were all frightened away by this monstrous resentment.

Or he was so frightened that he turned around and returned, or he chose to take a detour because he had some cultivation.

After all, in this realm, Yuan Ying is already the strongest combat force, and this evil cultivator who summoned monstrous evil ghosts is also a Jin Dan cultivator at the very least, and it is definitely not a character they can afford to provoke.

Occasionally, two or three stunned young people thought that a strange treasure had been born and wanted to lean here, and there would be monks who pulled them.

Although the people in the immortal cultivation world are weak, most people are still firmly on the same camp when it comes to dealing with demon cultivation and evil cultivation.

"What's going on over there?"

"It's Jindan real people who are fighting! One of them is still an evil cultivator! ”

"Hurry up, this is not the place for us to meddle, hurry up and report the nearest city......"

“……”

"Click."

In the center of the originally smooth and traceless array disk, a small crack actually appeared.

In just a moment, the protective array's array disk completely shattered, turning into powder and scattering in the air.

Ghosts are everywhere, evil ghosts are monstrous, and the old man's eyes firmly took out a long sword from the Sumeru ring and sheltered in front of him.

The cold light was cold, and the dark black ghost rushed towards the sword light with a hideous grimace, but the moment it touched the sword body, it was cut off one after another, and the wail disappeared.

A hint of fun flashed in the evil cultivator's eyes, and he accelerated the intensity of his attack again, but not so that the old man would be crushed by a single blow, like a cat and mouse, teasing his prey that was about to arrive.

"The Qingming Sword is really powerful, it's a pity...... You are not the master of the sword! The evil cultivator snorted lightly, "Tianming is a real person...... Oh no, you are no longer an elder of the Tianze Sect, and even your cultivation has stagnated in the early stage of Jindan, you say, why have you bothered for so many years? ”

Even though the old man struggled to support him, his forehead was bruised, and the long sword in his hand and the steps under his feet did not take half a step back.

It's just because there is the last trace of kinship behind him.

"The evil cultivator is arrogant, and wait until you defeat me before saying these arrogant words!" The old man's eyes lit up, and the light of the long sword in his hand was a little more dazzling, forcing the evil cultivator in mid-air to retreat.

"Okay, toast without eating and drinking." The evil cultivator was forced to retreat by the old man without checking for a while, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart, and at the moment he directly pinched the trick with both hands, and conjured up a black magic sword, pointing directly at the old man, "Tianming Lao'er, you are just a few hundred years older than me, and now my cultivation has already reached the Great Perfection of Jindan, and you are just in the early stage of Jindan!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the black magic sword seemed to pass through the sky like a fish in water, and the tip of the sword hit the sword body of the Qingming Sword directly, forcing the old man to gush out a mouthful of blood.

"Poof—"

The sword body was cold, and the bright red blood sprayed on the sword body, which highlighted a bit of solemnity.

"Grandpa!" Lingzhou trembled violently under one attack after another, even if the old man blocked Chu Li's hearing, it would be useless.

As the amplitude of the bump became bigger and bigger, Chu Li finally woke up.

She rubbed her eyes and looked out, but when she saw this scene, she panicked and wanted to run towards the old man.

The old man was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Don't come here!" ”

But it was already too late, and the evil cultivator strangely freed up a hand and shook it emptyly, lifting Chu Li in the air: "Yo, I said why are you so hard-hearted, it turns out that there is a little doll hidden behind you." ”

"Uh...... Ah, let go, let go of me! Chu Li was out of breath when he was raptured, and his delicate little face was also covered with red marks caused by suffocation.

The old man's eyes were cracking: "Let go of her!" ”

"Well, it's the breath of blood." The evil cultivator turned a deaf ear, and his slender fingers swept through the air, and a long blood mark appeared on Chu Li's neck. But fortunately, it didn't hurt the vital point, and the blood stain was just a slow blood line.

"Today, I will die with you!" The old man took out a jade jue from the Sumeru ring with an expressionless face and hung it on the Baihui acupoint above his head.

He put down the long sword in his hand and used all his strength to drive the long sword to resist the enemy, while he forced out the essence blood in his body and melted it all into the jade jue above his head.

Suddenly, the sky was filled with blood.

The violent explosion swept the three of them in, and the evil cultivator wanted to hide at this time, but he couldn't avoid it, leaving only the words "Yuze Zhenjun", and then he was annihilated in the flames of the explosion.

"Wow-"

The peach blossoms were all over the sky, and Chu Li stayed in the formation, looking at the miserable situation outside in a daze, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. After a while, she consciously stroked the wooden hairpin on the top of her head, and tears flowed down unconsciously.

"Grandpa......"

The cult is dead, but the evil thing it left behind is still there.

After the formation was exhausted, an evil ghost broke away from the control of the spirit flag, and pounced towards Chu Li with a bloody mouth.

Chu Li subconsciously stretched out his hand to block, and his eyes had already been closed.

"Huh-"

The expected pain did not appear, and Chu Li raised his head in distraction and stared at the person not far away.

The man was holding a long sword, and there was still a trace of black aura on the tip of the sword, which should have been left behind by the evil spirit that had just been slashed; The face is upright, it looks like it is about a year old, and there is still a long-lasting anger between the eyebrows; Dressed in a silver-white robe, the corners of the sleeves and the hem of the clothes are decorated with auspicious cloud patterns.

If there are others on the side, they will exclaim - it is the Yuze Zhenjun of Tianze Sect!

Yu Ze Zhenjun is the head of Zezong today, specializing in the Qiongming swordsmanship of restraining the way of yin and evil, and he doesn't know how many evil demons he has killed under the sword to make himself surrounded by anger.

It's just that Chu Li didn't know what this person's identity was, he just looked at him blankly, and muttered in his mouth: "Save grandpa......"

Yuze Zhenjun frowned, and after destroying the spirit banner with a wave of his fingers, he took a broken Yuan Shen from the air.

"Senior brother......" Yu Ze's eyebrows drooped slightly, and then he poured his pure spiritual power towards the shattered primordial god, hoping to delay the death of the old man's primordial god.

"It's useless, my primordial spirit has been shattered, even if you can let me live for a few more moments, I can't reincarnate again." The old man, that is, the Yuan Shen of Tianming Zhenren, flashed weakly, and seemed to reluctantly lean towards Chu Li, "I have lived for hundreds of years, and I have already lived enough, and the only one who is reluctant is Ah Li." Bro...... This is the last time I call your junior brother, forgive me for begging for retribution, please find a good teacher for my last bit of blood, and protect her for the rest of her life. ”

Yu Ze's fingers curled slightly, as if he had answered Tianming's request without thinking.

"Okay."

The light of the primordial god gradually dimmed, and Tianming's voice gradually weakened: "In this way, I can be considered to be relieved......"

"Grandpa!" Chu Li struggled to get up and grab the scattered Yuan Shen Light, but it was a pity that no matter how she kept it, the faint light could always escape from her fingertips, and finally returned to the vast sky.

"The monk's cultivation comes from the Heavenly Dao, and when he dies, he naturally returns to this heaven and earth." Yu Ze used his spiritual power to help Chu Li, who was kneeling on the ground, and stroked the top of her head with one hand, "Five Spirit Root ......"

"Anyway, entrusted by people, the matter of Zhong Ren is always inherited by my Tianze Sect for a long time, and there is no method of cultivating the five spiritual roots." Yu Ze looked at Chu Li and said slowly: "Since you have a fate, go up the mountain with me and become a disciple of the immortal family." ”
