The moon stars are scarce, and insects are chirping.

The mountain behind Qingyunmen, the ancestral hall of the patriarch.

The lights in the ancestral hall were still dim, and the old man slowly came to the offering table, gently pulled out three sticks of fine incense from the side, lit them and inserted them into the incense burner in front of him.

Green smoke rose in a curling stream, bypassing many spirit cards and disappearing into the darkness of the ground overhead.

Such a pure day and night, it seems that it has never changed in a hundred years, he sighed, turned around and prepared to go out, but at this moment, someone stepped in at the door of the ancestral hall.

The old man was a little surprised, and when he looked up, it was Dao Xuan's real person, and Dao Xuan's face was flickering by the lights, as if there was still a trace of paleness.

The old man frowned and said, "Now that I just repelled the Demon Sect, I heard that you were injured a lot, you don't take care of your injuries, why did you come to me?"

Dao Xuan didn't say a word, stepped forward slowly, and took out three sticks of fine incense from the side, and slowly handed them to the candle on the offering table.

The green smoke gradually rose, and he bowed three times with the incense in both hands, and inserted the fine incense into the incense burner.

Turning around, he took a deep look at the old man, and suddenly said, "After so many years, have you ever hated me?"

The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then slowly lowered his head and hid his face in the darkness.

After a long time, he replied: "I don't know how many more years I can live, and what I hate." ”

Dao Xuan was a little low, and said: "Then if you ask Lin Zhuo to bring it to me, the difference between good and evil is not on the surface, but only in the hearts of people, why?"

The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he raised his head and laughed, and said, "It's not on the surface, it's only in the hearts of people?" ”

Seeing the old man behaving like this, Dao Xuan said, "It seems that you didn't say it, that's what the girl said herself?"

The old man just smiled and didn't answer, and Dao Xuan couldn't help but ponder.

So why did she say this to herself?

Is it for... The orphan of Caomiao Village in Dazhufeng?

He sighed silently.

This person is pregnant with Qingyunmen and Tianyin Temple, and the relationship is very important, if he does it again, I'm afraid he will still do it.

It's just that I didn't expect that woman to be so infatuated, and she would rather sacrifice herself to save that Zhang Xiaofan.

Thinking of this, I don't know why I feel a little bored.

was looking at the rickety oil lamp on the offering table and was slightly distracted, but suddenly there was an overwhelming aura overflowing from the shadows, and he rushed straight towards himself, unable to hide, unable to escape.

...

There was a sudden gust of wind in the ancestral hall, and the oil lamp on the offering table shook endlessly, and the old man frowned slightly when he looked at Dao Xuan Zhenren's vain pale face and the cold qi that suddenly seeped out of his body.

After a long time, Dao Xuan Zhenren suddenly woke up and gasped for breath.

"Your injury... It seems serious, and it looks like I'm going to outlive you!" said the old man.

Hearing this, Dao Xuan gritted his teeth, and the strong Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao spiritual power flowed slightly, and he suppressed all the abnormalities.

He snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the outside of the ancestral hall, but unexpectedly, the man's faint voice came from behind him.

"All the ancestors of the past dynasties who have used the Zhuxian Ancient Sword have all left strict orders, and it is strictly forbidden to use the Zhuxian Ancient Sword before the moment of life and death. ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren paused and stopped.

Seeing this, the old man said: "I don't know how long the Zhuxian Ancient Sword has existed, and in the long years, I don't know how many living beings have died under it, and its anger is profound, I'm afraid that there is no second thing in the world that can compare with it." ”

After a pause, his brows furrowed tightly, and he said: "What happened to Master, you don't know, I hope you can keep your heart and don't make mistakes." ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren's breathing gradually became heavier, and after a long time, he snorted coldly and strode away.

...

The old man stood at the door of the ancestral hall, looked up at the stars and moon in the sky, and sighed silently.

Just as he was about to return to the ancestral hall, three people suddenly turned out from behind the tree next to the clearing, and looked at the faint light in the ancestral hall, but it was Tian Buyi, Su Ru and Master Shuiyue.

The old man was slightly stunned, but Su Ru said softly to Tian Buyi: "Senior Brother Daoxuan came out of here, you say... Is it possible that it's right here?"

Before she finished speaking, Shui Yue on the side had already stepped forward in two steps, hugged her fists at the old man and said, "Old man, is this ancestral hall now guarded by you?"

The light flashed in the old man's eyes, nodded slowly, and said, "The three of you are not the people of my Tongtian Peak, why are you here to be here?"

Su Ru and Tian Buyi glanced at each other, and Tian Buyi shook his head gently.

He took a step forward and said, "We came here to find a disciple of Tongtian Peak named Wan Jianyi, I wonder if the old man can know?"

Hearing this, the old man's hand behind his back slowly shook it, lowered his head in contemplation, shook his head after a long time, and said, "No!"

The hope in Master Shuiyue's eyes slowly dissipated, but Su Ru on the side suddenly found something, and a pair of beautiful eyes fell on the old man.

After a long time, her eyes were full of disbelief and she choked up: "Wan... Senior Brother Wan?!"

Master Shuiyue changed color, looked at Su Ru, and then at the old man who was in his old age, and asked, "You... What do you say?!"

And in Tian Buyi's shocked gaze, Su Ru had tears in the corners of her eyes, pointed at the old man and said, "He... He's Senior Brother Wan!"

Tian Buyi's fat face turned the color of pig liver, and said: "How is it possible, Senior Brother Wan is about the same age as us, it has only been more than a hundred years, and even I am not old, how can Senior Brother Wan be like this..."

Looking at the silhouette of the old man who was becoming more and more familiar, his voice became lower and lower, and finally disappeared. The Water Moon Master on the side was already red-eyed.

The old man's eyes were slightly closed, his face was wrinkled, and he couldn't see any expression, so he said coldly: "I don't know what you're talking about, but this place is the important place of Tongtian Peak, so please go back." ”

Without waiting for the three of them to reply, he turned around and entered the ancestral hall, and disappeared in the darkness after entering the hall.

Master Shuiyue hurriedly wanted to catch up, but was pulled back by Su Ru, turned his head and said hurriedly: "Senior sister, what are you doing?!"

Su Ru glanced at the ancestral hall, and then said to Shui Yue: "Senior sister, he... Senior Brother Wan obviously doesn't want to see us, even if you catch up, it will be in vain. ”

Tian Buyi nodded on the side and said, "I didn't expect Senior Brother Wan to be really alive, so wouldn't Senior Brother Daoxuan have violated it at the beginning..."

Su Ru hurriedly covered his mouth and said hurriedly, "What are you talking nonsense?!"

Tian Buyi rolled his eyes, muttered two sentences in his mouth and stopped talking.

Su Ru comforted Shui Yue again: "Senior sister, anyway, now that we know that Senior Brother Wan is here, we will come back another day." ”

Shui Yue wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Su Ru and said, "Senior Sister, Senior Brother Wan is such a proud person, probably he doesn't want us to see him like this now." ”

When Master Shuiyue heard this, he took a deep look at the ancestral hall, and then he was pulled away by Su Ru and gradually moved away.

...

When the clearing was quiet again, the shadow of the ancestral hall shook for a while, and the figure of the old man appeared there again, he looked up at the direction where Su Ru and the others left, the expression on his face changed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The night is deeper.

I don't know where it came from, a dark cloud quietly hid the bright moon behind him, and the clearing gradually darkened, and even the old man's face was hidden in the shadows.

"Ten Thousand Swords... Ten Thousand Swords..."

Over and over again, he whispered...

...
