Chapter Twenty-Seven: She
"Second brother, where did you hear about these things?"
Si Fengxue was curious about the source of these rumors.
"She told me."
Si Fengyu looked up at the night sky, as if reminiscing about the past.
"She once stroked the piano to lead the snow to fall, and leaned on the sword to set the mountains and rivers."
"She's a strange woman I've ever had the privilege of meeting in this life."
Si Fengyu told the bits and pieces of the years he had been outside.
I remember that at that time, on the border of Yuzhou and Yunzhou, several major families fought for a kind of spiritual object conceived by heaven and earth.
However, some of the ordinary people who live in the surrounding areas are the hardest hit.
Successive battles led to the collapse of mountains and rivers and the diversion of rivers. The river in the mountains flowed downstream, creating a terrible flood that mercilessly swallowed up many villages downstream, and almost all of the people in the villages died.
And her appearance changed all that.
With a single sword, she opened up a hundred-zhang wide river and single-handedly suppressed countless powerhouses vying for treasures.
But no one knows who she is or where she comes from.
Later, it was fate, and in a restaurant, I met her again.
I thought she was supposed to be on top of her, looking down on all beings, but I had the privilege of drinking at the same table with her.
In her mouth, I learned that the people were fighting for the Starfall Shard, and although that shard was magical, it contained a trace of negative power, and if used incorrectly, it would lose its mind and become a puppet manipulated by it.
When we parted, she once stroked the qin and gave me a song, saying that meeting was fate.
I once asked her the name of the song, and she told me that he would tell him when he got back together.
I vividly remember that the rain in July, under the influence of the sound of her piano, turned into snow.
Later, I accidentally learned that she was a cultivator.
Listening to Si Fengyu's story, Si Fengxue was deeply touched.
"Second brother, you won't like people, will you?" Si Fengxue asked quirkily.
And Si Fengyu laughed at himself and said, "How is it possible." ”
"It's impossible, you've always wanted to go to the outside world, don't you want to have the opportunity to see people again."
Regarding Si Fengxue's words, Si Fengyu was noncommittal and did not say anything more.
Seeing Si Fengxue yawning, Mu Han said to everyone: "You guys go rest first, I'll keep vigil." ”
"Okay, call me later." Saying that, Xu Shan took the lead in returning to the resting place and sleeping.
After several alternating vigils, the sky gradually brightened, and nothing happened for the night.
Following the trails left by the riots of the beasts, several people continued to march towards the Starfall Lands.
On the crumbling hills on the side, large tracts of grass and trees turned into scorched earth, and the trees within a radius of several miles were all broken at the waist.
A large circular crater appeared in the center of the hill, but the deep pit was empty.
"Oops, someone must have taken the lead."
Si Fengyu looked at the deep pit full of ashes in front of him and said.
But a few people circled the pit several times, but they didn't find any footprints.
"What now?"
Mu Han and the others were also clueless for a while.
"Wait, someone's coming." Xu Shan noticed the movement in the distance and reminded him.
"Let's hide and see what happens." Si Fengyu signaled to go to the distant mountain rock to hide and investigate the situation.
Mu Han hid behind the rocks, and the group gradually approached the hill, and also found the huge deep pit, standing aside and observing.
After Si Fengyu saw what the other party was wearing, he recognized it as a member of the Baili family at a glance.
Then several groups of people poured in from the other two directions.
"Where's the stuff?" The Jin family, led by the leader, asked loudly when they saw the empty pit.
The people of the other families did not speak, but looked at the people of the Baili family.
Under the gaze of everyone, the people of the Baili family also had to explain.
"How do we know, we've just found this place too."
Everyone was also skeptical about the explanation of the Baili family, but when they saw the huge pit in front of them, they thought that it must be a small starfall stone, and it was indeed difficult to take it away without leaving a trace.
But in the face of the empty pit in front of him, he couldn't see anything else except the ashes of some plants and trees.
"Let's go down and have a look." Someone suggested it out loud.
"Wait, I'll see who dares to move first."
The person headed by the Jin family said strongly.
"If you want to go, our Jin family will go first."
Forced by the power of the Jin family, the people around him didn't say anything more.
"Just by virtue of the fact that a few of you still want to swallow the Starfall Land alone, wishful thinking, this is not Yunshui City, and without your family master coming to sit in town, you dare to be so arrogant."
The people of the Baili family scolded loudly.
And the people of the Baili family also want everyone to know that without the head of the Jin family, it is nothing more than the Jin family leaving Yunshui City.
"Such an opportunity, there are winners living in it, and a few of you want to take it for yourself, really when our other families are afraid that your Jin family will not succeed."
At the instigation of the Baili family, other families also showed hostility towards the Jin family.
Their Jin family has been in Yunshui City for too long, and the Jin family is in charge of the city, and the other families dare not do anything directly. But now, these people join forces, and everyone in the Jin family will die here in minutes.
The people of the Jin family looked at everyone's unkind eyes, and they didn't dare to act rashly for a while.
Under the stalemate, the head of the Jin family still asked, "What do you want?" ”
"I propose that each family send one person to go down into the pit and investigate."
"My Shen family agrees."
"My Gu family agrees"
After discussion among several families, they all agreed to this approach.
"Then without further ado, let's quickly select the people who will go to investigate, the other families should be on the way."
Except for the Si Feng family, who was secretly observing, the rest of the people from the four major families were the Baili family, the Jin family, the Shen family, and the Gu family.
After the four people were elected, they walked from different directions, stepping on the ashes of the ground and walking towards the deep pit.
At first, the four of them just felt a little warm under their feet, but the further down they went, the temperature became higher and higher.
The people sent by the Shen family were the first to resist the high temperature, and the first to prepare to return to the team.
But an accident occurred, the pit wall was unusually smooth, coupled with the angle of inclination, and all kinds of ashes, the people of the Shen family found that they could not climb back to the outside of the pit.
The soles of the shoes became smoother under the high temperature of the pit wall, and completely lost their grip.
As the temperature became hotter and hotter, the people of the Shen family became restless, and then their feet slipped, and the whole person slid towards the bottom of the pit.
At this time, everyone in the Shen family didn't know what happened to that person.
By the time the man was found sliding into the pit, it was too late.
Under the scorching heat, the person from the Shen family let out a terrible wail, and when he slipped to the bottom of the pit, he burst into flames.
In an instant, the whole person was reduced to ashes.
After the other three saw the fate of the Shen family, they all looked panicked.
Because they also discovered that the deeper this pit gets, the closer it gets to the bottom, the hotter it becomes.
The pitch-black pit at your feet is like a black hole that can swallow people.
Seeing the situation in front of them, everyone in the Jin family couldn't help but gasp, and their backs were already wet with cold sweat.
Fortunately, they were not in a hurry to go down, otherwise they would all have died here.
Faced with such a situation, they thought of another possibility, that is, the thing was still in the deep pit, and no one took it, but the top was buried at the bottom of the pit.
Looking at the remaining three people in the pit, the three families also began to prepare to rescue people.
"Quick, find out if there are any vine ropes, and pull him up."
The people in the pit were anxiously looking for various tools, and several people in the pit were desperately thinking of various ways to save themselves.
One of them drew his saber and tried to plunge it into the pit wall.
But it was this sword that made him fall into despair.
The stone wall in the pit became extremely strong, and the sword that the man used all his strength did not penetrate a single bit, but shook himself away, and then lost his balance and slipped his body to the bottom of the pit.
There was another scream and a burst of fire, and the man was reduced to ashes.
