Dusk, deviate from the official road, riverside.

A man in white, who looked to be less than forty years old, walked slowly with a three-foot-long object wrapped in white cloth in his left hand, and passed through it like a swift wind through grass, with the sharpness of a sword. It seemed that even the dark clouds in the sky were retreating, and slowly retreated to the other side of the river with the footsteps of the man in white.

After the heavy rains, the river rises, and the small river, which is not wide, floods the lush aquatic plants on the bank, making it difficult to distinguish the depths. The man in white walked to the stream, and at this moment a river was separated, like two worlds, one side was as dark as night, and the light of dusk was revealed on the other.

The man in white went to the stream and stuffed the hem of his robe, fetched water to wash his hands and face, and wiped the mud spots on his white clothes.

At this moment, on the other side of the river, Du Zhongnian was pressed into the water by a very ugly man, blood stained the water, and a girl who was only a teenager was lying on the side, and next to him was a middle-aged man with a scholar dressed as pale with a fan.

The white-faced scholar used the fan as a finger to poke the "big vertebrae" behind the girl on the ground again and again, the "shoulder well" on the shoulder, the "period door" on the left rib and other acupuncture points, each time making the girl scream and roll all over the ground.

There are also a few people around, all of whom are carrying weapons, and their looks are extremely ugly, which makes people unbearable to look closely.

The appearance of the man in white provoked this group of living ghosts to cast unkind eyes, and a cold aura rushed towards them, like the evil ghosts of hell rushing towards them after the door to the world was opened.

"Hmph!" the man in white snorted coldly, and the cold air dispersed like a bonfire.

The man in white said: "When will the thirteen sons of the ghost gate dare to walk around the rivers and lakes." With that, he picked a few blades of grass with his right hand and slowly stood up.

An old man who described the withered trees as almost in the ground said in a muddled voice: "I didn't expect anyone to recognize us." ”

The man in white wiped his face with his sleeve, sighed lightly and said, "The master of the ghost sect has not been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and you are not dead yet." ”

The old man said coldly: "Good boy, you even know so much about our ghost gate, let's draw a line." ”

A group of people slowly lifted their breath, making the surroundings even colder, and according to Du Zhongnian's ugly big man, he also threw him to the shore, and took out a nine-ring knife from the stream. Taking advantage of this gap, Du Xi'er endured the pain and crawled towards Du Zhongnian, wanting to check the injury.

The face of the man in white did not change, to be precise, he showed a trace of exhaustion, he was tired. Then he turned his eyes to look at the girl, and his eyes showed unbearability: "Let her go, and this matter will be revealed." ”

The man on the left with a scar on his face had a fierce gaze, and he waved the mountain axe in his hand and made a whistling sound, as if he had cut off the head of the man in white, and then said in a hoarse voice: "I advise you to be nosy, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for chopping off your head!"

"I ...... I've ...... them all I told you...... Please...... Let my daughter ......" Du Zhongnian on the side spoke with difficulty with the support of his daughter, and his voice was weak, and he was afraid that he would not last long.

The scholar sneered: "If you don't bring such an important thing with you, isn't Master Du a fool?" ”

Du Zhongnian slowly spit out a sentence: "What I said is true...... I beg you...... Let go of the ......" and there is no follow-up here, it turns out that after the previous torture, he has already choked.

"Daddy!" For a moment, only the hoarse cry of the girl remained.

The old man scolded the ugly big man: "You just started too hard!"

The scholar looked at Du Xi'er coldly and said, "There is no way, I can only take her to the errand." With that, he raised his hand and grabbed the girl's hair and lifted her up.

Du Xi'er's eyes seemed to be numb, and he still dragged his hair by the scholar as if he didn't feel pain, only tears never stopped.

The figure of the man in white moved slightly, and the sunset in the western sky shone a bright light, accompanied by the figure of the man in white, plunged into the darkness on the opposite bank, the dark clouds retreated, and the sky was bright.

"Ahh

It was the scholar who screamed, and the blood that flew out was also the scholar's.

I saw a grass stuck in the wrist of each of the scholar's two hands---- the aquatic grass that had just been plucked by the man in white.

The man in white stretched out his hand to grab the girl who was about to fall, flashed and moved among the weapons of several people around him, and instantly returned to the place where he had just stood on the other side, with a calm expression, as if he had never moved just now.

But at this moment, the dark clouds dissipated, and the glow of the sunset burned the green clouds red, reflecting half of the sky, and even the idle clouds in the east also had some reddish edges. It's like a few blood stars splashed three feet later and four feet away.

Holding the girl's back with her right hand, she slowly crossed the true qi, and the girl only felt the bubbling heat spread all over her limbs, and the pain immediately decreased, but the feeling of powerlessness hit again, and she collapsed softly.

The man in white didn't care, and gently lowered her down and let her lean on his lap. After straightening up, he looked at the extra thing in his hand, it was an iron pendant, and the pendant was the shape of a hand, which was the ghost pendant of the thirteen sons of the ghost gate.

The old man glanced at the scholar, and was secretly shocked in his heart that the man in white was so strong in martial arts that he was afraid that no one in the world could beat him. actually injured the scholar in an instant, took the ghost pendant on his fan, and led people to retreat safely.

I saw the scholar kneeling on the ground trembling, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, his teeth were clenched and he didn't say a word, and his wrist was pierced by two blades of grass, and the blades of grass were clamped by bones, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take out, and these two hands should be useless.

The old man's face was even more gloomy: "What a handsome kung fu, the old man's subordinates never kill unknown people, boy, you can't leave today, report your name!"

The man in white had a calm face and revealed his identity without care: "Never return to the valley, Qin returns to Yu." ”

"Piano...... Valley Lord. "The ghosts burst out.

Laughing at the scenery of the rivers and lakes, sitting and watching the world is like a reed.

Among the contemporaries and the older generation, this name can be said to be known to everyone, but very few people in the younger generation know it, just because the three words of Qin Guiyu are simply forbidden words in the rivers and lakes, and the predecessors of all families and factions are very secretive about this person.

It all happened ten years ago.

Ten years ago, the Valley of the Absolute Return was not called the Valley of the Sword God, but the Valley of the Sword God, because the ancient Jianbai, who was respected as the Sword God by the people of the rivers and lakes, lived in seclusion in the valley to study swordsmanship, so the people of the rivers and lakes called the valley the Valley of the Sword God.

But ten years ago, Qin Guiyu, as a descendant of the ancient sword cypress, opened the Sword God Valley after the death of the Sword God, and said that as long as the person who used the sword came to the Sword God Valley, he would teach the sword god's swordsmanship without reservation, which attracted countless martial arts swordsmen to rush to the sword god for a while.

Even many people who don't use swords are mixed in with swords, and the master of the Ghost Gate is also one of them, of course, most of them have not been able to enter the valley, and they have not been able to take a look at the Sword God Valley

As for later, I heard that all the people who entered the valley did not survive, and the Sword God Valley was also renamed the Valley of the Absolute Return.

Since then, the martial arts swordsman has almost died, and many people abandon the sword to show that it is incompatible with the return to the valley, which has directly led to the fact that countless juniors in the rivers and lakes no longer learn swords.

There are countless speculations about the reason, and one of the most widely circulated is that it is because of the turmoil of the Qinglong Sword.

The Qinglong Sword is a sword forged by a swordsmith of the previous dynasty who spent a lifetime of hard work, and after it was cast, two daggers were made from residual materials, named Xuanwu, and these two divine weapons caused decades of strife in the rivers and lakes.

And what Qin Guiyu did was because he was young and was also affected by the disputes between the Qinglong Sword and the Xuanwu Double Dagger, so he hated the swordsmen of the rivers and lakes and vowed to wipe them out.

It is also rumored that the sword god Gu Jianbai was killed by Qin Guiyu, and now the two divine weapons of Qinglong and Xuanwu are in the hands of Qin Guiyu.

However, in recent years, there has been a lot of friction between the imperial court and the martial arts sect, and all the martial arts factions have put self-preservation first, plus whenever there is a martial arts alliance leader presiding, so the absolute return valley gradually talks about the vision of the rivers and lakes, and the juniors of the martial arts also deliberately conceal and protect their predecessors and do not know the original incident.

A lame man with a cane and a face full of abscesses suddenly screamed: "You killed my ghost sect master!"

Du Xi'er was frightened by him, trembling all over, Qin Guiyu lowered her hand and gently stroked her head, and only when she was calm did she look up at the other side of the river.

I only heard Qin Guiyu say indifferently: "What's the matter, the ghost sect does a lot of evil, he also taught you demons and monsters, practice with the living, and even eat the living alive, he doesn't die, who dies." ”

The old man who described the withered old man sneered: "You have done much better than us, and I am afraid that the swordsmen you have killed are more than the people we have killed combined." ”

Qin Guiyu didn't respond, glanced at the people opposite, and asked the old man: "Are you the new master of the Ghost Gate? There are a total of thirteen sons of the Ghost Gate, and you are only twelve people, why is there one less?"

It's good that Qin Guiyu didn't mention it, but it made the teeth of the ghosts hate, first met a young man who didn't know the origin and scrapped one with one kick, and he couldn't catch up with him when he ran fast, but now it's good that he met Qin Guiyu again, which is even more difficult to mess with.

Qin Guiyu saw that they didn't answer him one by one, and his face was embarrassed, so he didn't ask any more questions, and said: "I took this girl away, I hope you will live well in the next few years and wait for revenge." ”

"This ......" The thirteen sons of the ghost gate looked at each other, hearing this, Qin Guiyu wanted to accept Du Xi'er as an apprentice, so that she could find herself to take revenge in the future.

The thirteen sons of the ghost gate naturally resolutely couldn't agree, because they killed Du Zhongnian by mistake, and now they have to take Du Xi'er back to make a difference, if they just let it go, not only will they not be able to make a difference, but they will also set up a strong enemy for themselves in the future.

But what if you don't agree? On the other side, you will not return to the valley master Qin Guiyu, that is the descendant of the sword god, the person who is brilliant in martial arts, and the three-foot thing wrapped in his left hand is afraid that it is the Qinglong Sword.

But the stalemate only lasted for a moment, and the old man who led the way said, "I'll write down this matter later, and the Lord of Qin Valley will have a time later." After saying that, he left first, and everyone else followed, but the corner of his eye glanced at Qin Guiyu from time to time, not knowing whether to prevent Qin Guiyu from suddenly attacking or coveting what he was doing.

Qin Guiyu didn't say a word, and after letting them leave, she squatted down to check Du Xi'er's injuries, the external injuries were not serious, they were all bruises, she had no martial arts foundation, and she was afraid that the internal injuries were not light.

Coming to the other side, Du Xi'er crawled to the deceased Master Du, lying on the body in pain, and his voice was unbearable.
