The night was deep, and the reed-covered Xiao Shang River could not see his fingers.

Yesterday, it was full of corpses, but now it is quietly calm.

The blood penetrated deep into the loess, mixing together into a strange color, but now it was all the same silent in the night.

Some people say that this town seems to be in the whirlpool of war since birth, which is certainly true, especially since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, as the main road of the capital Bianjing, it has always been a place for soldiers to fight.

However, this town seems to have been like this for thousands of years, with warm days and quiet nights, scars left by war during war, and shadows of prosperity during prosperous times.

Of course, cities do not flee or hide, but can only be passively destroyed and rebuilt in the will of man.

There is a pine forest not far from Zhuxian Town, in which the pine trees are said to be among the old people who care about his deceased wife, which have been formed many years ago.

The old man has long been an old man and followed his deceased wife, I wonder if the two can meet in the forest?

However, after many years, it became lively, not because there were more people coming and going, but because it became a place where many foreigners buried their bones.

Ordinary people who fled and died on the way here, their families were hastily buried in the forest after a brief farewell.

There are also businessmen and killers who come and go from north to south to do dangerous business, their bodies are not buried, and they appear bizarrely on the side of the road, and when the people report to the official, the government will arrange for people to dig a big pit in the forest, throw the body into it, and then cover the soil.

In addition to these ordinary people, rich people, and Jianghu people, the most are the undead brought by the war, and such people are the most, occupying most of the open space in the woods.

No army will bring the soldiers and even generals who died on the battlefield back to a fixed place for burial, so they will choose nearby, maybe after the victory or complete defeat of the war, there will be descendants to move the grave and change the collection, but that is many years later, and when it really arrives until that day, maybe you can't even find the name in front of the grave.

This place is called a "mass grave" by the people of Zhuxian Town, and it has also become a burial place for too many strangers.

In the dark night, a man in a black robe had been standing in the forest for a long time, holding his hands and not moving.

If someone else passes by here and accidentally sees it, they will definitely think that this person is a ghost crawling out of the graveyard, but in fact not only is he not, even if there are ghosts and ghosts here, he must be afraid of him.

A leaf fell gently from the branch and landed on the shoulder of the man in black, and after only a moment's pause, it immediately floated down.

The fallen leaves eventually fell among the thousands of dead leaves, because they were new, as if they were rejected by the original dead leaves, and gently bounced up to a certain height.

At the moment when this fallen leaf gently bounced, a cold wind suddenly blew through, like countless sharp blades blowing, cutting all the dead leaves on the ground into pieces, blowing everywhere like snowflakes.

The fallen leaf fell again, on a ground that was "clean" without other dead leaves.

At this time, the standing figure slowly raised its head and looked at the not bright sky.

There is no moon in the sky, only a few lonely stars.

"The way of heaven, how is it poor, how is it poor, how is it wide, how is it humane, how is it pastoral...... Life and death are among the fallen leaves, the spirit is invisible, the earth is under the sky, I am between the heaven and the earth, ......"

He opened his mouth and said softly, like a distant singing voice, coming from the woods.

The song rippled out from among the fallen leaves on the ground like ripples on the surface of the river, but it suddenly made the heavens and the earth scold

Mu, ten thousand trees dance for it.

The singer in the forest only raised his head, and did not make any special movements.

If Heaven and Earth can understand, maybe he will understand his persistence in pursuing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and if Wan Shu can know, he will definitely be shocked by his fierce momentum that can be retracted freely with his gestures.

The reason why he looked up and didn't look around him or at his feet was probably because there was nothing worth a glance at here.

This person's cultivation is unparalleled in the world, but his eyes are full of loneliness.

The fallen leaves under his feet moved slightly, and the clothes on his body fluttered slightly.

An extremely fast figure came from outside the forest and stepped on the leaves, until it was dozens of feet away from him, which alarmed this leaf Yiyi.

He smiled faintly, not deliberately amplifying his voice, but he knew that the person behind him could hear it clearly.

"The third ...... When you stand beside me and don't alarm the leaves under my feet and the sleeves of my clothes, you can stand side by side with me......"

The fact that the person standing behind him was able to appear here from the far outside of the forest in the blink of an eye, indicating that his body technique was extremely fast, and his cultivation had already reached the peak.

It was just a light falling leaf and the corner of his clothes beside him.

The man said this proudly, but it came out of his mouth as if it were the most ordinary thing, and he was not shocked.

The man standing silently behind him seemed to be extremely reluctant to speak, wearing a large hat on his head, covering his face, and carrying a long sword behind him.

Once, the sword that came out of the sheath on a rainy night, a sword came out, like a shocking sky.

However, when standing behind the man, the Flying Cloud Envoy, who had already become a human sword, seemed to have turned into a child who could only listen to the teachings, and remained silent and did not say a word.

It's like a child who is being criticized by his teacher, and he has a hundred kinds of arguments in his heart, but none of them can say it to his face.

"You, you're just too bad at words!" After all, the man still had no choice but to take Feiyun's silence, and when he spoke again, he was already as kind as an elder brother.

"Senior brother in charge......" Feiyun opened his mouth, but only called out four words.

"Senior brother in charge", these four words are enough to explain Feiyun's awe of men.

How many people in the world can be so feared by a person like him.

The man didn't say anything, as if he was used to this kind ......of conversation, he just smiled softly, and then said: "Although your sword is sharp, it is the same as your people, and it can't be taken back when it is unsheathed, it seems that you really shouldn't have been allowed to go in the first place, and you should have left that old man with a life no matter what."

"There is a huge secret hidden behind him, we have been tracking him for many years, and now that he is dead, all clues will be broken!"

He raised his head and looked at the dark sky, and did not speak for a long time, as if he were looking at a huge chessboard, and there were only a few pieces scattered on the chessboard.

"Under the sky, there are still singers, if anyone thinks that they are standing at the top of this world, they are killing themselves, the third child, you are concentrating on swordsmanship, and the progress over the years is better than that of me, but let me tell you, there are always secrets in the world that you and I can't tell, such as the old Tao who was killed by you, do you know his identity?"

Feiyun shook his head, regardless of whether the other party could feel it or not.

"Although his own cultivation is not bad, he can't stop you from using all your strength, but behind him is a secret that has been buried for one or two hundred years, and this secret is not only our family, even the Holy Pavilion that claims to be the first in the world is also quietly tracking, including the Infinite Valley that has always been cultivated, and the Baishui Stream, which has lived in the north for generations, the world

The four major sects are all involved, and it can be seen that its significance is far beyond what you and I can imagine!"

Hearing what the "Senior Brother in Charge" said, Feiyun could no longer remain indifferent, but he still tried to keep his voice as low as possible and asked, "Why?"

"Why? This question should have been asked by me, but now it's you who ask me, hey, there's really no way to take you......"

He seemed to shake his head and sigh, there is really no good way to take this junior brother, since the person who is tracking down is dead, there is no point in saying anything, Lao Dao died at the hands of his junior brother, presumably there will be various forces to come to the sect to inquire, but ...... He smiled, presumably no one really dared to go up the mountain to come to accountability.

Thinking of this, he didn't plan to say any more, because he had more important things to go to in person, and if it weren't for the sake of meeting his junior brother, I'm afraid he wouldn't have appeared in this dirty world.

"Senior brother......" Feiyun suddenly shouted.

"Huh?" he was a little surprised, according to the previous situation, the junior brother should have remained silent until he left.

"I have a question I've always wanted to ask you......"

"Say!" this time it was his turn to be concise and clear, and he felt some relief in his heart.

"Didn't the patriarchs of the four major sects swear together not to participate in the strife in the world back then? Why ......" Feiyun didn't say all the words, he believed that the senior brother in charge could understand.

The senior brother in charge waved his sleeves lightly and said, "The oath of the year is indeed true, you want to ask me why those small ways of power struggle should not appear in our eyes at all, why should they be involved?"

He didn't wait for the reaction of the junior disciples behind him, and continued: "Do you know why the patriarchs of the four major sects made such an oath together, and in front of whom did they make the oath?"

"Why?" the Flying Cloud Envoy suddenly raised his head, which had been kept low, revealing a pair of indifferent eyes.

"Perhaps, that is a shocking secret that should not be known, in addition to the oath not to participate in disputes, the four patriarchs of the year also had a promise, and now the reason why the oath of the year is torn up is because it is time for us to fulfill the promise that has been buried for almost two hundred years!"

"That man...... Be...... Who is ......?"

The senior brother in charge shook his head and said, "Although many things have been passed down from generation to generation, after all, after more than a hundred years, everything has become blurry and mottled, but I think it won't be long before everything will become clearer and clearer......"

When Feiyun looked forward again, he found that the figure who was still talking just now had disappeared without a trace, and he was not surprised, because he knew what kind of person the "senior brother in charge" was.

This time, he killed someone who shouldn't have been killed, and although the senior brother blamed him, he didn't say it clearly, but he didn't get a clear answer to the question he asked.

Maybe even the senior brother doesn't know so well.

What kind of earth-shattering secret is it that can involve the four major sects in the world? And who is the person who made the patriarch of the four sects swear and promise? Maybe it is really as the senior brother said, only when everything is slowly clear.

"Life and death are among the fallen leaves, the spirit rhino is invisible, the earth is under the sky, I am ...... between heaven and earth" Feiyun suddenly remembered the "Heavenly Song" that the "senior brother in charge" often recited, so he also recited a few words casually.

The abundant true qi makes the song distant and long, and the night is also distant and confused.

At some point, the wind penetrated into the trees, and the leaves on the ground made a non-stop sound.

A few fallen leaves were swept up by the wind, and when they fell again, there was no one in the forest.

......

......
