"Is it him?" In the grass hut of Qingqiu Palace, Mu Tianqing, who was meditating with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes, at this time her face was no longer covered with a light veil, and her pretty face showed a touch of joy, "Could it be that he has succeeded? How can it be so fast?"

At the same time, on the top of Qingqiu Mountain, which is covered with snow all year round, three long-haired old men are standing together, looking at the golden light in the northwest with solemn expressions.

If other people were present, it would be strange that in such a place where the air is thin and the climate is cold, these three old men are actually calm and energetic.

One of them exclaimed: "What a terrifying aura, I can feel it, it is a huge divine aura, that person's strength, I'm afraid it's still above us!"

"How is this possible?" the other old man was shocked, he looked the youngest, the only one of the three with a black beard and hair.

"We have cultivated to the extreme of human beings, a demigod body beyond mortal bodies, could it be said that he is a mortal ...... the heavenly realm?"

"There is another possibility," the third old man spoke, his body was slightly fat, and his eyes were so small that there was almost a slit left, "Perhaps, there is an artifact in the Great Wilderness......"

"Artifact?" the black-haired old man pondered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "By the way, a few days ago, in the center of the Demon Realm Forest, there seemed to be a vision. ”

"It is not yet known for sure that it had anything to do with that vision. The old man who spoke at the beginning sighed and said, "Anyway, it seems that hundreds of years of purity have finally been broken, and we three old fellows, I'm afraid we will have to go down and have a look." ”

In addition to them, not far from the top of Lingqiu Mountain, there are several pairs of vicissitudes of life, silently watching the direction in which the golden light rises......

Under the brilliant golden light, the huge green dragon phantom raised its head to the sky, the air around the dragon's head trembled violently, and the huge phantom actually really let out a substantial dragon groan, and the sound was loud and long.

Immediately after, the green dragon soared, wrapped in a giant sword and flew into the sky, a moment later, the green dragon fell from the sky, Shan Jiuling raised his head in a daze, and watched the green dragon pounce in front of him with his teeth and claws, and there was finally great fear in his eyes, but he did not dodge or dodge, as if he was firmly imprisoned in place by the huge coercion.

The bodies of the green dragon and the mountain nine spirits collided violently.

Then, the huge green dragon phantom dissipated like this, as if it had never appeared, and the whole world became quiet at this moment, as if time was frozen in this moment.

Dissipating with it was the dazzling golden light on Yun Luochen's body, as well as the body of the Nine Spirits of the Mountain.

There was no flesh and blood flying, no terrible screams, and the mountain nine spirits turned into powder under the terrifying energy that erupted in this instant, and disappeared into invisibility.

The burning golden light in Yun Luochen's eyes was extinguished, and he returned to the black pupils of a normal person, and he looked ahead in a daze, as if he was also shocked by the incomparable power just now.

"Is that really my strength?" Yun Luochen stretched out his hands and looked at his body that had returned to normal, just now he clearly felt that his whole body was filled with vast and boundless energy, that kind of terrifying coercion like a god, that kind of invincible mighty battle intent, did it really belong to him?

With a "bang", the giant sword that flew out before finally fell back into the scabbard behind him, which also interrupted his thoughts.

"Could it be this sword?" Yun Luochen's mind was spinning, such a big movement tonight, I'm afraid that many peerless powerhouses have noticed it.

This sentence is not only valid for Lisheng, I am afraid that even if there is no Lisheng around in the future, because of this sword, it will cause a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Yun Luochen couldn't help frowning slightly, he suddenly felt that his strength was still too thin, it seemed that he had to think of a way to get the protection of Yinglongtang when he went to Xuanyuan Hill, if he had the opportunity to join his disciples, it would be great.

"Lisheng!" Yun Luochen finally found the girl sitting on the ground in the shadow of the bamboo forest, and hurriedly ran over, "Are you okay?"

Li Sheng's face was pale, there were still large beads of sweat on her forehead, and her eyes were still a little afraid when she looked at Yun Luochen, but she quickly calmed down and relaxed. Yun Luochen helped her to her feet.

"Falling dust, you just ......"

Yun Luochen spread his hands, "I don't know what's going on, I was bent on saving you, and suddenly I felt a huge force poured into my body......"

Li Sheng's eyes were a little complicated when she looked at Yun Luochen, her eyes moved away from Yun Luochen's face and looked in the direction of the tea shed, with a look of compassion in her eyes.

Yun Luochen immediately understood what she was thinking, when Lisheng drove Han Yin away, she had said that she didn't like killing, and the compassion in her eyes was obviously not for Shan Jiuling. Holding her hand, Yun Luochen silently walked towards the tea shed.

When the day was about to dawn, there was already a low lonely grave in the bamboo forest behind the tea shed.

Yun Luochen and Lisheng stood in front of the grave with solemn expressions, silent, no matter what, an innocent person died because of them, and both of them had heavy hearts.

"Uncle, although I don't know your name and can't erect a monument for you, but the meeting in Pingshui is fate, we have avenged you, this is the only thing we can do for you, please rest in peace." ”

"You said that you are alone, without worry, the only thing you can't bear is this tea shed, but unfortunately, from now on, the passers-by on this official road will never have a sip of tea to quench their thirst, but I think you can finally reunite with your beloved over there. ”

Yun Luochen sighed faintly, turned to leave, Li Sheng bit his lip, and took one last look at the small tomb, followed Yun Luochen, and held his hand.

Li Sheng's hand was very soft and a little cold, but Yun Luochen's heart was warm at this time, and his face, which was originally gloomy and cold because of grief and indignation, gradually softened, and he suddenly couldn't help but turn around and embrace the soft delicate body into his arms.

Li Sheng didn't expect Yun Luochen to hug her like this, she stood there blankly, feeling the warmth brought by the other party's broad chest and arms.

"I have lost the past, and I should cherish the present and ......the future," Lisheng said to himself silently in his heart.

Yun Luochen muttered softly: "I think God really favors me, for this favor, I think we should have more trust between us, not only trust each other, but also believe in ourselves." ”

He opened his hand lightly, stared into Lisheng's eyes, and said seriously: "We have to believe that no matter what happened in the past, we will definitely overcome all difficulties together in the future, do you believe it?"

Lisheng nodded firmly, "I believe." ”

There were a few ethereal roosters in the distant mountains, the first morning light had been lit on the eastern horizon, and the long sleepless night had finally passed, the sky would always be bright, and the road would go on.

Southern Chu, Lingqiu City.

The study room of the City Lord's Mansion is spacious and bright, and the windows, lattices, tables and chairs are all spotlessly clean.

A middle-aged man in a white robe stood silently in the middle of the room, he was not too tall, but his back was straight, coupled with his thin and bony figure, it gave people the illusion of a tall and thin man who needed to look up, his face was resolute and cold, and he seemed to be unable to squeeze out a smile.

Gao Yuan walked in from the outside, saw the back of the middle-aged man in the room, and said respectfully: "Teacher." ”

The middle-aged man glanced back at him, didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

Of course, this person is the great Confucian of the world who was specially "invited" by Gao Yuan, and he is also his former enlightenment teacher Qin Xu.

Gao Yuan was originally a little resentful and wanted to "interrogate" this teacher, after all, what happened before, he should ask him for an explanation.

But as soon as he entered the door and saw Master Qin's serious and calm appearance, Gao Yuan immediately felt a little shorter, as if he had become the student who obediently listened to the lecture in the hall more than ten years ago.

"Teacher, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and I rashly invited the teacher this time because I wanted to ask you for some questions, and I asked the teacher to forgive the students for being abrupt. ”

Gao Yuan bowed and saluted Qin Xu, "Teacher, please take a seat." ”

"I know what you want to ask. As soon as Qin Xu sat down, he got straight to the point, "You want to ask, why do I disregard my reputation and publicly corroborate the news of your brother's death, right?"

Gao Yuan's face changed slightly, he knew that his teacher was a truly wise master, and it was not difficult to guess the purpose of inviting him, but he didn't expect to go straight to the ground so quickly.

After all, he had the impression that the teacher was not an acute person.

"Yes, students really don't understand. ”

Qin Xu nodded slightly, and continued: "You still want to ask, according to what Yu'er said, we should have moved to Lingqiu City half a year ago, why did we only arrive now, right?"

Gao Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart, and had to answer honestly: "Yes." ”

Qin Xu said: "Before answering your question, I want to ask you a question. ”

"Teacher, please speak. ”

"I asked Yu'er to bring you the news, telling you not to send troops to attack Diyun City, why don't you listen?"

Gao Yuan's face was a little ugly, he really didn't want to think of that sad and humiliating past, but he still replied: "Because we had just won a big battle at that time, and we wanted to take Diyun City in one go. ”

"Did you take it?" Qin Xu continued to ask.

"Nope. ”

Gao Yuan had no intention of "interrogating the prisoners" at the beginning, and his momentum had completely weakened.

"Yu'er should also tell you that once you reach an impasse, there may be any hidden dangers, do you remember?"

"Remember, if you can't win right away, your neighbors may intervene. ”

Qin Xu's tone finally fluctuated a little, and he said with some hatred: "You remember everything, it means that you listened to it at the time, but how did you do it?"

Gao Yuan's face was already flushed, and he reluctantly explained: "At that time, the Qingqiu Kingdom sent an envoy to ask for peace with us and ......."

"Do you think they'll choose to help you?"

"Yes......"

"Let me ask you, if you are the monarch of Qingqiu Kingdom, do you want the Southern Chu Kingdom to let Gao Fei rule, or let Zhu Ning rule, it will be more beneficial to Qingqiu Kingdom?"

Gao Yuan's heart was full of remorse at this time, if he had listened to the teacher's advice, all this tragedy would not have happened, he had been blaming the teacher, he knelt down like a child who had made a mistake, "Teacher, I was wrong!"

Qin Xu sighed and said faintly: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, you still have a long way to go, the key is to learn lessons from failure, but the price of these lessons is indeed too great......"

He got up and helped Gao Yuan, "You don't have to admit your mistakes to me, I am no longer worthy of being your division commander." ”

"Teacher, what do you mean by that?"

"I did something sorry for you, half a year ago, Yu'er just went to Lingqiu City to bring you a message, and our family was detained by Zhu Ning in Diyun City, Zhu Ning threatened the lives of my whole family and forced me to come forward to publicize the death of your royal brother, I know, whether it is true or not, once I corroborate this matter and make it public, you will never have the opportunity to enter the royal capital. ”

Although he had already thought of this possibility, but hearing Qin Xu's explanation in person, Gao Yuan was still relieved in his heart, after all, the teacher was also helpless, when encountering this kind of thing, even if it was a saint, how could he not care about the life and death of his family?

However, he soon discovered a major suspicion.

"You just said that Zhu Ning detained all your family in the royal capital, including Yu'er?"

Qin Xu nodded, "Of course." ”

"What day, do you remember?"

"Naturally remember, Yu'er went back that night, originally we planned that she would pack up her things and leave the next day after she came back, but before dawn the next day, you were already in the city, Zhu Ning immediately sent someone to break into my mansion, because of my identity, I didn't dare to arrest people directly, but I still blocked all the entrances and exits of the mansion, and no one was allowed to enter or exit. ”

"I understood at the time that it should be Yu'er's whereabouts exposed, and Zhu Ning thought that I revealed the news from the palace to you and asked you to launch a surprise attack. ”

Gao Yuan suddenly felt a chill down his spine, if Qin Yu had been detained in the mansion since the day their soldiers came to the city, who was the person who suddenly appeared in his tent in the middle of the night?
