It was late autumn, and the yellow leaves on the trees were scattered in the breeze, and many of the flowers that had once bloomed were scattered into mud.

At night, the moon rises.

The villages surrounded by mountains are dimly lit.

The moonlight sprinkled down, like a piece of silver light sprinkled on Luochuan, and even the bright moonlight could not penetrate the water surface in the deep night on the cold night.

The cold air rising from the water disappeared into the dark air.

At night, this small village nestled against the mountains is always quiet.

For many years, the people here have been accustomed to this quiet and peaceful day, no theft, no robbery, no night, no closing door.

The wind blows the ripe rice in the field, turning it into a "rustling" sound.

The ears of rice have turned golden in the daytime sun, and now it is harvest season, and in a few days people will have to cut off their heads, which is actually a kind of decapitation.

The wind gradually stopped, and the fog on the water surface became heavier, and in addition to the sound of crickets, there were a few occasional frog chirping, and at this time most of the people had turned off the lights and fell asleep.

In this quiet night, suddenly, ripples rippled on the surface of a silent river.

One by one, one by one, from near to far.

It was as if some unknown object was catapulting at the place where the water surface met the air, and each time it ejected, it caused a wave of water.

In the full moonlight, I saw a black shadow flickering, and almost before it had time to blink, it had crossed the surface of the river, and the figure stopped on the other side of the river.

Just in front of the ruined temple, the man in black didn't move, didn't even turn around, just looked at the temple that was almost completely dilapidated, as if he was worshipping reverently in his eyes.

Not long after, the man in black took a step forward and walked towards the broken temple step by step.

At this time, there was silence between heaven and earth, and the man in black seemed to come quietly from the darkness, and then walked towards another darkness step by step.

The darkness has no bounds, and it will fade only when we wait for the dawn.

The door of the ruined temple is dilapidated, which is very commensurate with this ruined temple.

A few rays of moonlight spilled in through the doors and windows of the broken temple, and you could see the scene in the temple slightly, which was not very spacious.

There is a high platform in front of the temple gate, there is a huge stone statue sitting on the high platform, the face is hideous, because no one cleans it all the year round, it has long been hung with dust, the incense burner is placed in front of the stone statue, the incense ash falls everywhere on the desk, the two sides are apricot yellow curtains, and all kinds of charms are drawn.

The man in black was wrapped in black clothes very tightly, except for his eyes exposed, his entire face was covered with black veil, but the eyes that were exposed were so bright, like the stars shining in the sky.

The hands he was carrying were gently on his chest, and he was clutching a black object tightly in his hands, and he didn't know what it was.

Every step he takes, his movements and posture all reveal a natural bearing, which seems to be the domineering spirit that naturally flows out of extreme self-confidence, not like a person dressed in black who suddenly wants to do something mysterious in the middle of the night.

It's more like walking into a glorious hall with his head held high, even if the next second is a life-and-death battle, his bearing will not be affected in the slightest.

After scanning the temple with the star-like gaze of the man in black, he suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed the stone platform under the feet of the huge stone statue.

And beneath the stone statue, there was a pitch-black black hole with no bottom in sight.

This black hole seems to be darker and darker than the night outside, as if the connection below is the boundless hell, if the person standing in front of this black hole is a little timid, then the next moment it is likely that a pair of evil hands will really stretch out here and strangle your neck.

But the man in black is not a cowardly person, but the moment he saw the black hole, his star-like eyes flashed with a joy that did not quite match his bearing, or it could be said to be a kind of fanaticism.

The man in black carefully took out a pitch-black black disk from his waist, the black disk was the black object he had been holding in his hand, he held the black disk horizontally in the palm of his hand, only to see that the black disk was a neat hexagon, with a strange-looking pattern on each corner, and the center of each figure was also the center of the black disk, and a hideous skull was engraved on it.

The man in black stared slightly, then put a hand in the black plate, a burst of scarlet blood was faintly visible in the moonlight, the man in black frowned slightly, blood seeped out from between his fingers, but this pain was obviously not what he cared about.

The blood flowed out slowly, and it was actually a drop that flowed to the hideous skull.

While drinking blood, the skull suddenly seemed to become a living thing, and after absorbing the blood of the man in black, the originally lifeless skull began to gradually become full and full.

There seemed to be a chuckle on the skull's hideous face.

At the same time, the blood on the hands of the man in black flowed faster, and the blood-sucking skeleton was so greedy.

At this time, a layer of crimson blood mist gradually rose in the broken temple because of this strange blood-colored sacrifice, and the man in black did not withdraw his hand from the black plate, let alone blink slightly because of the pain, but just calmly looked at the hideous skull in front of him, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

The blood slowly stopped, the skull did not swell down after sucking enough blood, the pair of black hole eyes stared at the man in black tightly, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, which seemed to be a kind of ridicule in the eyes of the man in black.

The man in black ignored him, but stretched out his hand, only to see the hexagonal black disk fly out steadily along an arc, landing right above the black hole under the stone statue.

Suddenly, on the hexagonal black plate, blood flowed like a river.

Soon, with the skeleton as the center, the pattern on each corner began to spin rapidly.

A beam of red light shot out from under the disk, which happened to envelop the black hole under the stone statue, and the blood sucked by the skeleton on the black disk gradually flowed out, tumbling and flowing on the black disk, like a big river being imprisoned in the center of the black disk.

Gradually, the blood flowed faster and faster, as if it was about to boil at any moment.

The man in black stared at the black hole with his eyes firmly on it, and said to himself: "What a killing god to return to the Yuan, even if you were unparalleled in the world back then, did you ever think that you would end up like this? If you could be born two hundred years earlier, I really want to compete with you to see if you are really as extraordinary as the legend says."

After that, there was a deep regret in his eyes.

Just as the man in black was talking to himself, the hexagonal black disk began to tremble rapidly, as if he was frightened, and he actually wanted to escape, but for some reason, the blood mist shot out from under the black disk seemed to be caught by something, and even if it shook rapidly, it could not be removed from it.

At this time, there was a black gas in the black hole that slowly rose along the blood-red mist, and gradually began to envelop the blood mist.

The man in black's originally frowning brows gradually loosened, and said with a sigh of relief: "He really didn't lie to me!"

He watched this strange change, and the enthusiasm in his eyes was gradually replaced by a deep vicissitude.

"I must save you, even if it costs everything!" said the man in black to himself, gritting his teeth.

Just as this blood-colored sacrifice was about to be completed, a sudden loud "bang" broke the silence in the temple.

The man in black looked intently at the sacrifice that was about to be completed in front of him, but he didn't notice that someone appeared, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

The moonlight shone into the broken temple like water, and the man in black turned around, only to see an old man with white eyebrows standing in front of the broken temple door with a black and gold crutch in his hand, and the old man's wide sleeves made him look very tall even though he was a little hunchbacked.

This old man is the old man who talked to Luo Bei during the day.

The old man's voice was like a bell, and he shouted to the man in black: "I didn't expect you to find it anyway!"

Then he saw a blood-soaked hexagonal black disk.

The old man frowned and said: "Hexagonal Dripping Blood Plate! I didn't expect that this kind of forbidden object that had disappeared for many years would be found by you, I really have a heart!"

Seeing that the sacrifice was about to be completed, and the thick black qi was about to suck up all the blood mist, the old man didn't say anything more, and there was no more time for him to understand the origin and purpose of the man in black.

His sleeves fluttered, and the cane in his hand shot like a black-gold dragon at the dripping blood plate.

The man in black probably saw that the old man's cultivation was extraordinary, so he didn't pick up his sharp crutch, and the crutches shot at the blood disc without a trace of delay, and the skeleton in the black disc seemed to know that it was powerful, and couldn't help but tremble.

The man in black sealed with one hand, and in an instant, the airflow in the temple trembled, as if an invisible force tore the air apart, and the air moved without wind, and it actually changed the trajectory of the crutch shooting towards the blood dripping plate.

Even a slight change is enough to get it off target.

After this move, the man in black's eyes darkened, obviously this magical move made his true qi lose a lot, but seeing that the spell on the blood plate had not yet been completed, he waved his palms, and a scorching qi enveloped the old man like a huge wave.

Seeing this, the old man raised his palm, the blue light flashed, and a strong Taoist true qi covered the incoming heat wave, and the other hand grabbed towards the blood plate.

He knew that the man in black was very nervous about the spell that the blood disc was casting, so he grabbed the blood disc and forced him to use more tricks.

The scorching qi was actually defeated inch by inch in front of the old man's strong true qi, and the man in black was obviously unable to stop the old man if he wanted to intercept him, and in the blink of an eye, the blood disc had fallen into the old man's hands.

When the man in black saw the old man get the blood plate, his heart trembled, and his eyes dimmed completely.

He suddenly tilted his head and closed his eyes.

The old man also kept looking at the man in black, judging from his bearing, where he looked like those disgusting people, but more like a very proud knight.

The man in black didn't care about the old man's thoughts, the moment his eyes opened, followed by a will to die, obviously, the spell cast by the hexagonal blood plate was extremely important to him, so that he knew that his cultivation was invincible to the old man, and he had to fight to the death.

Even if there is only a glimmer of hope......

There is not even a glimmer of hope......

And how......

Just when the man in black wanted to fight to the death with his lifelong cultivation, a childish voice suddenly came in.

"Grandpa, are you still here?"

The old man couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, in this ruined temple, he had an absolute advantage in the face of the man in black, not only had he snatched the blood plate that the other party cared about very much, but also completely suppressed the other party.

But this immature voice suddenly came, which represented a variable.

The old man naturally heard that the person who came was Luobei.

It turned out that after he ran out of the house, he was confused all the way, until it was late, and he wanted to go home and was very angry, but he didn't know where to go, and suddenly remembered the old man who talked to him during the day, I don't know if he has left, these days he lives in the broken temple, he might as well go to him to spend a night in the broken temple, when the father's anger is gone, and the mother will definitely come to look for him, and then go home again is a way.

Thinking of this, Luo Bei came to the broken temple along the path, he heard a "sparse" sound in the temple, knowing that the old man should be inside, but he didn't know what was going on inside, so he shouted out first, and then the person also went to the door.

The old man couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, he was confident that he still had the strength to deal with the man in black by himself, but if Luobei fell into the hands of the other party, he would fall into a dilemma.

The old man could think of these truths, how could the man in black not understand.

So, he didn't face the old man directly, but quickly took a step towards the temple gate behind him.

The old man was startled, just as he was about to call Luo Beimo to come in, it was already too late, and the black shadow of the man in black flashed, and a child was already in his hand.

The man in black laughed coldly twice: "I can't imagine that there is such a master in this poor country!"

The old man held the blood disc in his hand and shouted to him: "I can't imagine that a proud person like you would take a child as a hostage!"

The man in black's eyes froze for a moment, and then he sneered: "I know that my cultivation is not as good as yours, but today I have to take this blood plate, you shouldn't doubt it......"

The old man nodded, he knew that what the man in black said was true, otherwise he would not have that resolute attitude just now.

"People are not as good as the sky, it seems that the sky will help me ...... tonight"

The old man shook his head and said, "Do you know how many disasters the thing sealed here will bring to this world once it appears in this world?

The man in black suddenly threw his head back and laughed, then stopped abruptly.

"I don't have that high level, let alone ...... I can't save anyone...... And what about the ...... of the world?"

His gaze tossed between light and darkness, until he finally made up his mind, so his hand slowly grabbed Luo Bei's neck, and a scorching breath slowly poured out from his fingers.

Luo Bei's face was very red, and the heat was really terrible.

Obviously, if the goal is not achieved, as long as the man in black uses a little force, Luo Bei's life will be in an instant.

Just as he finished speaking, the true qi in the black-clothed man's hand suddenly surged, and Luo Bei's back, which was held by his hand, also obviously felt a burning sensation.

Luo Bei's small body was supported by the true qi of the man in black, and it was thrown out like a fluttering balloon, and the direction was exactly where the old man was.

The old man knew that when the man in black threw Luobei, he must have a back move, so he was like the wind with one palm, and the blue light flashed like a Taoist mantra to catch Luobei's body, so as not to cause him to fall to the ground and be seriously injured.

And his figure also flashed, just when he went to pick up Luo Bei with one hand, he threw the blood disc behind him with the other hand, and the true qi in his hand loomed, just to slap the man in black.

At the moment when the two true qi were about to collide, the man in black saw clearly the blood plate thrown by the old man, this was his real purpose.

So as soon as he collected his true qi, Luo Bei flew towards the old man lightly, and his figure suddenly flashed, a burst of breath flowed, and in the blink of an eye, the blood disk was already in his hand.

The old man saw the man in black throwing people, grabbing the plate, in one go, knowing that he was bent on taking away the blood plate, but he was worried about Luobei's safety, so he could only save Luobei first, so he could only put down the blood plate first, just before his figure landed, he held Luobei with one hand, and with the other hand, Huo Ran pushed the man in black.

The man in black was holding a blood plate in his hand, and before he had time to look at it, he knew that the old man's move was powerful, and as soon as he turned around, something flew out of his hand and shot at the old man.

Suddenly, a wave of heat hit the old man in the originally cold and dilapidated temple, like the flames of the sun.

"Someone asked me to bring a sentence, killing people and saving people is just a thought, I don't know if you have no regrets in this life?"

The old man knew that the things thrown by the man in black must not be ordinary things, so he didn't have time to think about it, he protected Luo Bei in his hand, and slammed the Taoist robe behind him, and his true qi overflowed.

The heat wave turned into a burst of blazing light in the ruined temple, and the apricot yellow curtains hanging everywhere had been burned to ashes, only the blue light was extremely strong, and it did not decrease but increased in the scorching light.

In the end, until the heat dissipated and three beads fell, the voice of the man in black still echoed in the ruined temple, and his person had long since disappeared.

The old man picked up the three beads in his hand, only to see that the beads were red gold, and there seemed to be a flame burning inside, the old man frowned, looked at the direction where the man in black was gone, and couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Killing people and saving people in a flash...... Does anyone in this world remember me?"

"Whether there are no regrets in this life, I'm afraid even I can't tell!"

He hugged Luobei in his arms and probed him to see that he still had breath, and just as he was about to check the black hole under the stone statue, suddenly, a bloody breath suddenly hit.

The old man couldn't help but step back.

And at that moment, a tiny black object flew out of the black hole.

The old man was caught off guard, and the black thing fell impartially on Luo Bei's eyebrows.

Before the old man could react, he had disappeared.

Everything seems to be coming in an instant, and then returning to its original calm in an instant.

The old man sat in front of the ruined temple, holding Luobei in his arms, and his heart was heavy this night, turning back and forth.

How many times, the Ugin cane in his hand was picked up and put down.

The moonlight dimmed, and in the midst of thousands of clouds, the dawn of dawn was about to rise in the east, and the peace and coldness of the night would be broken in a moment.

Looking at Luo Bei's immature cheeks, it seems that the child he adopted many years ago has the same clear eyes at the same age.

The old man sighed, and there seemed to be many wrinkles on his old face in an instant.

He finally made a decision in his heart.

So he sighed: "In the world, although it is fate, but this child is smart and kind, and it is not known whether he can escape the catastrophe, he is right, killing people and saving people is always a thought, the last choice made me uneasy for the rest of my life, and this time I ...... Will you give me a chance, and give the world a chance......"

"Maybe fate never turns out differently!"

Some people say that the new life of you and me is actually the reincarnation of others, just like the rising sun and the falling clouds, never stopping, in an era, all of us have a fate, but we often see the beginning, but we can't see the end.

I wonder if everything will be different when fate comes again?

Luo Bei will not remember what happened this night, let alone know the undercurrents hidden behind it, but just when the old man decided to save his life, his fate was closely linked to this world and this era.

After thinking about it, the old man's palm pressed on Luo Bei's chest, and a stream of true qi was sent in.

......
