On an unnamed mountain peak in the east of the human world, in a small green bamboo forest, there is a one-armed elder wearing a robe, full of white hair, beside the elder, a long sword hidden in the stars is inserted into the ground, people who know the goods can see at a glance that this is the world-famous Xinghong Blade, and the person who holds the Xinghong Blade is Yue Xinghong.

At this time, Yue Xinghong didn't know whether he was asleep or dead, he couldn't feel any life on his body, and red and black blood marks could be vaguely seen on his old face, and the blood stains had been washed by the rain, and only the stars were left on it.

The wind blew gently, blowing the bamboo leaves, and it was bleak.

"Hmm~ fresh mountain breeze!"

A woman's voice suddenly came from the back of the bamboo forest, it was Yan Mengyao, who had just said goodbye to Yan Que and teleported to the human world through the secret method of the demon realm, who took a deep breath of fresh air behind the bamboo forest and gave out a pleasant appreciation.

"It's so annoying, my skirt is stained with mud again. ”

I saw Yan Mengyao swinging the bottom of her skirt, which was originally a red long skirt, and at this time, there was a corner at the bottom of the skirt that was stained with a small piece of earthy yellow mud, no matter how Yan Mengyao shook it, it was like a dog skin plaster, sticking to that place and not letting go.

Yan Mengyao had no choice but to let it stick, and then slowly walked out of the bamboo forest, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath of the mountain breeze as she walked, enjoying it like a spring breeze, not caring at all if there would be bandits or monsters around.

"Hmm... How can there be a dead man? ”

Yue Xinghong's "corpse" almost tripped over Yan Mengyao, but fortunately, Yan Mengyao reacted in time, stopped moving forward, looked down at the one-armed old man Yue Xinghong, thinking that he was asleep, but he couldn't feel a trace of anger from him, coupled with the old face and the still fresh wound on the broken arm, Yan Mengyao confirmed that the old man had been lying here for a long time.

Then he turned his head to look at the Xinghong blade that was inserted into the dirt next to Yue Xinghong, and felt that this sword looked good, so he stretched out his hand and wanted to pull it up, just as Yan Mengyao touched the hilt of the Xinghong blade, Yue Xinghong, who was lying on the ground and was identified as a dead person, suddenly opened his eyes, and his scarlet eyes frightened Yan Mengyao, and he took a few steps back in an instant.

Yue Xinghong, who woke up like a corpse, still echoed in his mind the night's fight and the last desperate moment, stumbling and using all his power to come to this nameless mountain, and then he fell weakly, I don't know how long he fell asleep, and he only felt pain all over his body when he woke up at this time, especially the pain in the heart of the broken arm.

"Hey, you're a human and a ghost. ”

The woman's voice in his ears interrupted Yue Xinghong's recollection, Yue Xinghong turned his head to look at the woman with difficulty in speaking, it looks harmless to humans and animals, and a little cute, even if it is harmful, Yue Xinghong at this time is not an opponent, the last trace of mystic power in the body has been exhausted, and there is no ability to regenerate, Yue Xinghong is now equivalent to a waste person.

"Should.. The .people"

Yue Xinghong finished the four words with difficulty, among them, because the voice was too small, Yan Mengyao only heard three words, seeing that Yue Xinghong was speaking very hard, half-dead, Yan Mengyao secretly exhaled.

"Are you being hunted down by the enemy?"

Although Yue Xinghong no longer threatens Yan Mengyao, Yan Mengyao is still cautious and does not approach, if the judgment is wrong, Yan Mengyao will definitely reveal the identity of the Demon Demon, if it is known that the Demon Clan has come to the human world, it will be very lively, and Yan Mengyao will no longer be able to find Yinyue and bring it back to the Demon Realm.

"I... Forehead !!"

Yue Xinghong wanted to sit up, but his body only moved slightly, and his brows were furrowed and gasped, Yue Xinghong felt that not only was his power lost, but the meridians were even more chaotic, and his whole body was moved, and the idea of getting up could only be abandoned, Yue Xinghong sighed lightly and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky.

And when Yan Mengyao saw Yue Xinghong's movements, coupled with the distortion of his face and the sound of pain, the caution in his heart gradually retracted, and he slowly approached Yue Xinghong, stopping at a position of about two meters.

"Old man, you seem to be dying. Yan Mengyao said softly.

Yue Xinghong turned his head to look at her, wanting to answer her in his heart, but his mouth opened and closed, and this small one-piece action made Yue Xinghong's chaotic meridians feel a twitch, and he could only look at Yan Mengyao quietly, unable to make a sound.

Seeing this, Yan Mengyao stretched out his hand and took out a gray-black mud pill, which seemed to be an elixir, walked forward slowly, stretched out his hand and motioned to Yue Xinghong to eat this elixir, Yue Xinghong first looked at the pill suspiciously, and then seemed to understand, opened his mouth with difficulty, and the pill melted in his mouth, and it instantly spread all over his body along the mouth.

About half a burnt incense, the meridians in Yue Xinghong's body have been combed along with the effect of the elixir, but the Xuan Li has not been regenerated at all, and Yue Xinghong, who has no power to restrain the chicken, has sat up slowly at this time, looked helplessly at the broken arm, and then looked at the Xinghong blade inserted into the ground halfway, as if two old friends looked at each other.

"Thank you. ”

Yue Xinghong softly thanked Yan Mengyao, who had returned two meters away, if it weren't for Yan Mengyao's elixir, Yue Xinghong would already be a dead corpse in this nameless barren mountain at this time, and he didn't even have a chance to bury it, so he could only be weathered by time.

"Don't thank me, I have something to ask you, you know where there has been recently... Are demons appearing?"

Yan Mengyao wanted to ask how to get to the city where the silver moon was located, but she didn't know what the name of that city was, so she could only change her words and ask about the demon clan, looking at the extraordinary long sword on the ground, this dying old man still had use value in Yan Mengyao, otherwise how could that precious elixir be used on a human race.

"Old decay Yue Xinghong, which school is the girl, go down the mountain to practice?" Yue Xinghong reported his name and asked softly.

When Yan Mengyao heard this, she said impatiently, "Answer my question." ”

Yue Xinghong looked at Yan Mengyao in surprise, if ordinary people heard Yue Xinghong's name, it would be normal not to know, but judging from the fact that Yan Mengyao could take out such a precious pill, he must not be an ordinary person, neither an ordinary person, why did he not show a trace of surprise at the name "Yue Xinghong".

"Hehe... Recently, a demon clan has indeed appeared, and it is near Furong City. ”

Furong City, Yan Mengyao's face was confused, Yue Xinghong said the name of the city directly, but he didn't know where the direction was, and Yue Xinghong, who was sitting on the ground, saw her confusion, and then added: "It's about five hundred miles in that direction." ”

"Oh, then I'll go first, and you can save your own life. ”

As soon as the words fell, Yan Mengyao turned her head and prepared to go, and as soon as she raised her left foot, she was stopped by Yue Xinghong behind her: "Girl, ask more, are you from the Shadow Moon Palace?"

"It's not. ”

After Yan Mengyao finished speaking, the whole person had already rushed down the mountain, only a burst of dust was slowly blown away by the breeze, Yue Xinghong saw that she had gone away, turned his head to look at his old friend Xinghong Blade, his eyes were stunned, and he pulled out the Xinghong Blade with his right hand, only to see that the Xinghong Blade inserted into the soil was really only half of it, and there was no other half of the Xinghong Blade in the soil.

"Old friend, why are the two of us connected now, you broke it, and I broke it... Huh..."

The one-armed Yue Xinghong seemed to laugh at himself and the Xinghong Blade, the Xinghong Blade has been with him for many years, and even the thatched house has accompanied him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Xinghong Blade is the most intimate thing of Yue Xinghong, although the Xinghong Blade is a famous sword, it is a soulless sword, and the lack of the sword spirit is like a life without a soul.

Everyone in the world knows the name of Xinghong Blade, but they don't know that the spirit of Xinghong Blade is Yue Xinghong.

Yue Xinghong stood up with difficulty, looked at his broken arm, took a deep breath, a gust of mountain wind blew again, but it made Yue Xinghong's heart a little more sad, it was time to leave here and go where he wanted to go, the mountain wind seemed to understand Yue Xinghong's heart, and the breeze on Yue Xinghong's face brought a trace of warmth.

The afterglow of the setting sun slowly spreads towards the human world, and the nameless mountain peak has long since disappeared at this time, only the lonely bamboo forest and the flickering mountain wind, as well as the galaxy hidden under the bamboo forest.

---

Yan Mengyao moved forward extremely fast in the direction pointed by Yue Xinghong, her eyes could already see the figure of Furong City in the afterglow of the sunset, at this time Yan Mengyao had already changed her clothes, the red long skirt had been put away, and she had changed into a set of white sassy cloth clothes, the simple cloth clothes were embroidered with a few light blue leaves, Yan Mengyao seemed to like the leaves very much, there were maple leaves on the red long dress, and the cloth clothes she changed into were also embroidered with leaves.

And this white cloth dress is actually used by men, if it weren't for Yan Mengyao's female image, I am afraid that it will be mistaken for a man by passers-by, Yan Mengyao naturally does not have these ideas, the reason why she likes this set of clothes is related to the embroidered leaves on the clothes, and she doesn't care if it is a woman's costume.

Soon Yan Mengyao stepped into Furong City, this is the second time she has come to Furong City, although she is not familiar with the road, but she still remembers the streets and alleys where the night market is located.

After Yan Mengyao walked forward fifteen steps, three forks appeared in front of her, Yan Mengyao turned to the right without thinking about it, and after walking half a stick of incense on the road on the right, the lively night market came into Yan Mengyao's eyes, Yan Mengyao came to paradise like a child, couldn't control the excitement in her heart, and rushed to the delicious food stall to buy a lot of delicious income into the utensils.

In this lively night market, there are not only all kinds of snacks common in the human world, but also the delicious pastries "pear blossom cake" made by the locals of Furong City, pear blossom cake is made of pear blossom as the main ingredient, and the unique craftsmanship of the workers is made of rice noodles, sugar, eggs and other condiments mixed with pear blossoms.

Yan Mengyao's devouring way of eating regardless of her image immediately caused diners at other tables to look sideways, looking at her as if she had seen a starving ghost, but Yan Mengyao didn't care, and still "enjoyed" the delicious experience brought to her by pear blossom cake.
