The wind does not urge the grass to grow,

The sun does not rise on the snow,

The sky is full of stars,

Wildflowers also have a late spring.

----- (gorgeous dividing line) -----

The peach forests along the edge of the Daling Mountains are still the same, and although nearly 70 years have passed, the peaches seem to have grown larger, and the peach trees are still so dense, but it is clear that the peach gum is no longer harvested.

Song Pingcun remembered that the conditioning given to the villager named Zhang Daniu at the beginning would be able to live for at least another hundred years, and if nothing else, he should still be in the world. But the changes in the peach forest in front of him made Song Pingcun feel that things were not so simple.

There are a few earthen houses and thatched houses in the depths of the peach forest, which does not feel like a village at all.

Song Pingcun's divine sense swept over, and he noticed the original Shennong Sect's guest token in a family's house. But he didn't have the breath of Zhang Daniu, not even the breath of blood close to him.

This made Song Pingcun even more strange.

Song Jiao, Song Kang, and Song Di, who followed, were about to go down to check, but they were stopped by Song Pingcun and ordered: "You stay where you are, I'll take a look." ”

Song Pingcun walked over and knocked on the door of the house, but a black-robed man walked out, if it wasn't for the fact that this person had no cultivation at all, he thought it was a person who counted the door of death.

"You are ......" The other party saw a stranger knocking on the door with the appearance of a young man, and seemed very strange.

"I'm looking for Zhang Da Niu," Song Pingcun took out the strand of Zhang Da Niu's hair in his hand.

The other party just glanced at it, and tears rained down, "Sir, please come in." ”

Let Song Pingcun enter the hall and sit down, although it was daytime, there was no light in the room at all, and it looked a little dark.

This person walked into the back room, walked out after a while, and then knelt in front of Song Pingcun with a "plop", and held a jade plaque in his hand high above his head.

"Mr. is finally here, please forgive my Li family." The black-robed man lifted the black hat on his head, revealing a face that was full of vicissitudes of life, and he looked like a middle-aged man.

"What the hell is going on?" Song Pingcun was a little puzzled, the token was indeed left by himself.

The middle-aged man didn't dare to lie and told all the causes and consequences of the matter.

At the beginning, Li Quan and Li Yigang of the Zhi Sect in Langshan City were all members of the Li family, and the Li family had long been a peripheral member of the Death Gate, which was only known to a few old people in the family, including Li Yigang, who was the master of the Zhi Sect.

After the episode of the peach forest, Song Pingcun and the others left, and the people from the door of death came, and the peach gum in charge of this peach forest was the person of the Li family, and there was nothing to do. I bought the peach gum as usual and left, but when I left, I found traces of burned peach gum in the peach forest and returned to the village.

And Zhang Daniu, who was in charge of taking care of them, didn't dare to hide it, and told all the things of the day, in order to save his life, he had no choice but to take out the token left by Song Pingcun and tell the agreement between the two parties.

But Zhang Daniu didn't expect that the matter had been leaked, but it led to the slaughter of the whole village. After the acquirer returned to the family to report the matter, Li Yigang hurried over, and there was the scene where Song Pingcun and they left Langshan City.

The token was reported by the Li family to the door of death, and in order to keep it secret, the matter was stopped. But then it was revealed that Song Ping's identity existed in Yibaofang City, and in the past ten years, the high-level officials of the Death Gate knew that this matter could not be easily solved. The entire Li family was cultivated to the ground, and sent to this peach forest, waiting for Song Pingcun, who would come after I don't know how many years, would be held accountable.

After listening to the middle-aged man's narration, Song Pingcun finally understood why there was no breath of Zhang Da Niu at all, the whole village was gone more than 60 years ago, and there was still any breath, it was all caused by himself to kill them. Zhang Daniu may not have figured out how this disaster came about until he died!

"Now these buildings are all from your Li family?" Song Pingcun asked.

"Yes, sir. Please also see that a few decades ago, my ancestors did not know the identity of Mr. Wang, so it was a big mistake. The above confesses, except for you, no one can forgive my Li family. "The middle-aged man may be the head of this generation of the Li family.

Song Pingcun felt heavy.

Is the Li family at fault? From the perspective of Song Pingcun and Zhang Daniu's village, of course, it is an unforgivable sin. But from the perspective of the door of death, the Li family is actually maintaining the secret of the door of death.

The middle-aged man with a frightened face in front of him and a longing look in his eyes made Song Ping feel a sense of powerlessness. When he was eighteen or nine years old, he could confidently say that he would let Zhang Daniu live for another hundred years, but what about the facts? After he left, Zhang Daniu and his village all disappeared, and today? He can judge the life and death of the Li family, but can he judge?

Without Him, all this life is alive and does not need to be pitied and given by others.

"Shennongzong hasn't come to check?" Song Pingcun stabilized his emotions and asked.

"I didn't know before, but no one from the Shennong Sect has come to investigate in recent years." The middle-aged man replied honestly.

Song Pingcun remembered that he asked Liu Yiyi to explain to Shennongzong, but Shennongzong had not sent any information to him for more than 60 years. Even if he was in Wanbaozong back then and later went to sea, but after coming back for all these years, Shennongzong immediately had a solution to the matter of his apprentice and Wen Danshu, but the people in a village were gone, and Shennongzong didn't care at all?

"I don't know how to deal with your affairs, whether to pursue it or not, I don't have the right to judge. However, can you contact the high-level of the Death Gate, preferably your sect master, in three days, I will wait for him here. After speaking, Song Pingcun walked out of the room with the token and Zhang Daniu's hair, and passed the message to the three Song brothers to stay here and go towards Shennongzong.

Passing by the peach forest, with a wave of his hand, Zhang Daniu's hair fluttered over the peach forest, flying with the wind, and it didn't matter if it could fall in the peach forest.

One of his own casual actions caused a village to lose their lives like this, and the pain is very difficult to describe and cannot be described.

……

The sect leader of the Shennong Sect was unharmed, and he was still closing his eyes in his Tranquility Pavilion to recuperate. Ever since the sect's spiritualization powerhouse came out, hinting that he could no longer cultivate the realm, he knew that he was going to change the sky. The source of this news is undoubtedly Song Pingcun, the former guest elder of the sect, who had a good relationship decades ago, but he didn't expect to receive such a news.

Today, he had a palpitation in the Tranquility Pavilion, and he didn't know what was going to happen. But he saw Wei Su Li coming from outside, "Sect Master, Song Pingcun left a message to the sect, asking you to meet in the peach forest two hundred miles to the south." ”

"Did he say anything?" Wen Wuxian was very surprised, Song Pingcun appeared in the sect at this time but did not come to him directly, although it took a short distance to teleport from the main hall of the sect to the Anshen Pavilion, but for Song Pingcun's current realm, the entire Daling Mountain Range was not a secret to him, why bother?

"I don't think he's looking good, but he doesn't have any other emotions." Not to mention that Wen Wuwu was injured, even Weisu felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"I see. Go down! Wen Wuxian stood up, supporting his body on one leg, never feeling so heavy. Cao Defa, the Great Elder of the Inner Affairs Hall, called over and ordered, "I may have to leave for a while, if there is an urgent matter in the sect that cannot be handled, I will consult with Elder Taishang." ”

"Sect Master, this is going to go far away." Cao Defa asked cautiously.

"It's not far, but it could be a long time." Wen Wuxian did not explain why.

Waiting for Cao Defa to leave, he silently bowed to the portrait hanging in the middle hall, sighed, waved his hand to take it off and rolled it up, and put it in the storage ring.

……

In a very secret area of the Daling Mountain Range, Shi Jingjiao frowned when he received a message from the disciple on duty. What does it mean that Song Pingcun let him go to Taolin for a meeting?

Isn't it enough for the entire Li family to be martyred for Zhang Daniu's village, although he has met Song Pingcun twice, he still doesn't know this young man at all. The news from overseas that Shi Bufan did not follow Song Er into the abandoned land, and was cleverly arranged by Song Er in Qianji Island, which is already very strange in itself. But it didn't take long for Song Pingcun to let him go to Taolin to meet, what was he going to do?

Let the disciple on duty take all the recent news about Song Pingcun, look through it carefully, and still don't notice anything special. There was no information about Song Pingcun's actions from the outside, and the only useful thing was that the mysterious woman beside Song Er had returned to the Shuxian Sect.

It seems that the Holy Maiden on the Northern Continent is no longer in Beiyu Divine Mountain, are these two things the reason why Song Pingcun is looking for himself? But this is not quite in line with Song Pingcun's consistent character!

"During the time I was away, any affairs related to the Book Immortal Sect were temporarily suspended, and I will talk about it when I come back."

"Yes," replied a black-robed man sitting on a chair not far from him, "Sect Master, do you need me to accompany you?" ”

"No, although Song Pingcun didn't say that I would only go alone, there is no practical point in having one more person." Shi Jingjiao refused, got up and walked to a stone wall behind him, and opened a secret passage.
