"What are you going to do when you cut down these trees?" Luan Yeqiu was still very responsibly collecting useful "confessions".

A round-faced, bald-headed man said, "The foreman said, "Bring it to the top of the mountain to build an altar." ”

"The altar?" Luan Yeqiu asked again, "The altar is made of stone, why wood?"

The bald man shook his head, "I don't know, but there are a lot of stones on the top of the mountain, but there are few trees, maybe both stone and wood are needed." ”

"Where is the altar?"

A tall, thin man with a long face and thick eyebrows answered, "At the top of the mountain." ”

Luan Yeqiu said angrily: "I know that at the top of the mountain, didn't he already say it just now?" But there are mountains on all sides, which mountain do you say it is on?"

The tall and thin man replied, "There are on every mountaintop." ”

Luan Yeqiu was surprised: "Every mountain top has it?"

The tall and thin man nodded.

"They're not building a simple altar," Yun Luochen has already walked over at this time, "They are going to use these altar-like things on the top of each mountain to form a huge magic circle. ”

Luan Yeqiu glanced back at him and asked, "Shall we go up the mountain?"

Yun Luochen hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Go up the mountain first to have a look, if it is really a magic circle, destroy it." ”

Luan Yeqiu pointed at these people and asked Yun Luochen, "Then what should they do?"

Yun Luochen said: "Leave one to lead the way, and let the others go." ”

Luan Yeqiu asked, "Who is left?"

Yun Luochen beckoned to the young man who asked first, "Come here." ”

The young man walked over, and Yun Luochen said to him, "You take us up the mountain, no problem, right?"

Seeing that the young man was still hesitating, Luan Yeqiu added: "You take us up the mountain, find those altars and leave, and I will let the others go." ”

After speaking, he took out a few silver coins from the money bag, put them in his hand and said: "Don't worry, I won't let you lead the way in vain, and after I find the altar, I will give you another hundred wen." ”

As soon as the young man heard that there was so much money to take, he immediately nodded excitedly.

Luan Yeqiu turned to the others and said, "You go out of the valley along the road we just walked on, and there will be guards from the City Lord's Mansion at the mouth of the valley, let them lead you to the City Lord's Mansion, and then there will naturally be someone to protect you." ”

Then she said to the young man, "After you take us to the altar, go to the city lord's mansion like them." ”

The young man nodded.

Luan Yeqiu smiled and said, "Okay, then lead the way." ”

The young man chose the nearest mountain, although the night was hazy and the mountain road was rugged, but because he had walked many times before, the young man was still familiar with the road, and Yun Luochen and Luan Yeqiu, because they had some kung fu, were naturally not too laborious.

After walking all the way for a long time, the three of them had nothing to say, Yun Luochen suddenly remembered a question that he had been curious about before, and said to Luan Yeqiu: "Senior sister, there is a question I have wanted to ask you for a long time, but I have never found a suitable opportunity, I don't know if it is convenient for you to say." ”

Luan Yeqiu glanced at him, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"That's right," Yun Luochen leaned closer and whispered, "Since I came to your house, until now, I have never seen your father, and no one in your family has mentioned it, why is this?"

As soon as Yun Luochen's words fell, Luan Yeqiu's face immediately became not very good-looking.

Yun Luochen saw that her face changed, and seemed to realize something, and asked tentatively, "Will your father ......?"

"He's dead. Luan Yeqiu coldly shook off a sentence and immediately turned his head away, as if he didn't want to continue the topic.

Is it dead?Yun Luochen's original guess was originally like this, but seeing Luan Yeqiu's reaction, he felt that this matter was not so simple.

If ordinary people mention that their father has died, normal people should be a little sad, even if they are relieved later, they shouldn't be as indifferent as Luan Yeqiu, is this senior sister an unfilial daughter?

"I don't know what happened between you and your father, but he is your father after all, and if he does die, you shouldn't have this attitude. Yun Luochen's tone was slightly stiff.

"What do you know?" Luan Yeqiu suddenly yelled at him, causing the young men who walked in front to look back at them.

"I've never met my father, he abandoned me before I was born, maybe he didn't even know there was a daughter like me!"

She suddenly sneered, but the smile was particularly bitter, "I don't have a father, whether he is still alive or not, I just assume that he is dead." ”

Yun Luochen was suddenly silent, and he was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Actually, I have never met my biological parents. ”

Luan Yeqiu turned his head to look at him in some surprise.

"When I began to remember, I stayed in the palace of Nanchu, and I knew that I was an orphan adopted by the Gao family, although I had nominal parents and brothers, but I knew that no matter how many people I had around me, I was the one alone. ”

Can you understand how this feels? The more lonely a person is, the more he adapts to loneliness, the more he is afraid of loneliness. ”

"In the past, I didn't understand, I always felt that no one in this world cared about me, and I didn't need to care about others, until the day I escaped from Diyun City, I met Lisheng, met Qing'er, met Deng Qun and Keke, and later came to Yinglongtang, and met you again...... I suddenly found that I had changed, it turned out that I cared so much about everyone around me, and after I knew the prophecy of the end times, I couldn't understand why someone wanted to destroy such a beautiful world and such a group of lovely people?"

"My father, I've only heard his name, and as for my mother, I don't even know who she is. But that doesn't affect my respect for them in any way. Especially my father, who was a role model for me throughout my life. ”

Luan Yeqiu looked at Yun Luochen in a daze, and suddenly asked, "Is your father's name Yun Qing?"

Yun Luochen smiled, "You guessed it. ”

Luan Yeqiu sighed: "You are all surnamed Yun, besides him, who else can have a talented descendant like you?"

"Actually, I can probably guess who your father is. Yun Luochen paused, and said with emotion: "In their time, 'Southern Cloud and Northern Luan', with both swords, can be called a generation of legends, even Master Long Xiao and Sword Saint Ling Yuan have to succumb to them. ”

"That day in the Crane Lookout Tower, when I saw you use that set of swordsmanship, I saw some clues, and when I heard you say this today, I am even more certain, 'Wearing Flower and Butterfly Shadow' Luan Shuiqing suddenly disappeared mysteriously twenty-one years ago, it seems that you are his daughter. ”

Twenty years ago, on the list of the top ten masters, the top two were the "Sword God" Yun Qing and the "Flower Butterfly Shadow" Luan Shuiqing.

Luan Yeqiu didn't speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence, but her expression was not as proud as when Yun Luochen mentioned her father Yun Qing, but she looked a little gloomy.

"My dad is not qualified to be as famous as a generation of sword gods. ”

She sighed in frustration: "Sword God Yunqing, a brave and fearless general on the battlefield, a chivalrous and courageous righteous man in the rivers and lakes, a frank life, and finally died for the righteousness." But my father, all his life in the search for flowers and willows, indulged in the wind and the moon, obviously married to my mother, but for a dusty woman did not hesitate to abandon the ancestral business and elope with other women, gone for twenty-one years, the family was afraid that my father would become the laughing stock of the outside world, so they said that he disappeared mysteriously, but I can never forgive him. Your father left you pride, but what my father left me was a shame that I will never forget. ”

"Back then, he abandoned my mother and left, have you ever thought about how hard it has been for my mother to support this huge family business with a woman all these years? A man with no sense of responsibility, he is not worthy of being called a hero, let alone being compared with the sword god Yunqing!"

She suddenly turned her head and stared at Yun Luochen viciously and said, "I hate a man like my father the most in my life, don't you want to learn from him!"

Yun Luochen was startled by this sudden fierce gaze, and quickly shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I don't have the ability of Ling Zun." ”

He asked tentatively, "Did your father have any troubles back then?"

Luan Yeqiu was silent for a long time, and snorted coldly: "No matter what hardships he has, the harm he has done to me and my mother cannot be made up for in this life and this life." ”

Yun Luochen sighed: "If your father is still alive, don't you really want to see him again?"

Luan Yeqiu replied without hesitation: "I don't want to see him, even if he is really alive, he doesn't have the face to see me and my mother." ”

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard the young man in front of him turn around and shout: "Two chiefs, the front is at the top of the mountain, can I go back?"

Luan Yeqiu followed the prestige and asked loudly, "Where is the altar?"

The young man pointed to the end of the cliff, "It's close to the cliff." ”

Yun Luochen frowned, "How could it be built there?"

Although he was a little confused, he still performed light skills with Luan Yeqiu, and he came to the top of the mountain in a few steps. Looking in the direction of the young man's finger, he saw a high platform made of stones on the edge of the cliff, surrounded by a fence like a fence surrounded by wood, as if he was afraid of people falling off the cliff.

"Why bother building on the edge of a cliff if you are afraid of people falling, and if you go a little inside, you don't need to put on this fence. Luan Yeqiu also felt a little too much, muttering on the side.

"Did you build this altar too?" asked Yun Luochen.

The young man shook his head and said, "No, we are just responsible for chopping the downed trees into wood and transporting them to the top of the mountain, and we don't know who did the rest." ”

Yun Luochen nodded thoughtfully, and the young man immediately looked at the two of them with a begging look and said, "Can I go, two chiefs?"

Luan Yeqiu glanced at Yun Luochen, as if asking for his opinion.

Yun Luochen hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

Luan Yeqiu then took out ten silver coins from the money bag and handed them to the young man: "Let's go, be careful when you go down the mountain." ”

The young man turned around and walked away with great gratitude.

Luan Yeqiu saw that the young man had gone down the mountain alone, and turned around to see that Yun Luochen had run to the edge of the cliff, and was squatting on the ground looking at the wood on the fence.

"What's wrong?" Luan Yeqiu walked over curiously.

When she approached, before Yun Luochen could answer, she also squatted down, "Huh, there are a lot of strange patterns carved on these woods. ”

"It does seem to be a magic circle, and although I don't know what this magic circle is for, I think it's better to destroy it. Yun Luochen said with a frown.

Luan Yeqiu asked with some concern, "How do you want to destroy it?"

Yun Luochen stood up, "This seems to be the easiest way. As he spoke, he prepared to draw his sword.

"Wait a minute. Luan Yeqiu suddenly stopped him.

"What's wrong?" asked Yun Luochen.

Luan Yeqiu said: "I think it's better not to do it before we figure out what this thing is for." ”

Yun Luochen frowned, "Then what do you think we should do next?"

"Go back and call someone," Luan Yeqiu said, "we should go find some knowledgeable elders to take a look." ”

Yun Luochen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, if we don't destroy it this time, in case the Demon Sect discovers our traces, it may not be so easy to come up the mountain next time." ”

After saying that, he no longer hesitated, immediately drew his sword, and slashed towards the altar.

However, something unexpected happened, the moment the sword qi touched the stone platform, the entire altar suddenly erupted with a burst of blood-red light, and suddenly a black wind burst out, and Yun Luochen and Luan Yeqiu were caught off guard by the black tornado.

With a violent explosion, the entire altar instantly turned into ruins, and Yun Luochen and Luan Yeqiu were also thrown out by the explosion and the black tornado, and fell into the abyss along with countless gravel and wood chips.
