In the col, there is a family, a small fence yard, and a few thatched houses. In front of the fence, the stream flows crosswise, and the bluestone bridge connects the two banks. By the bridge, a large willow has roots, and thousands of them are falling. A big yellow dog curled up under the willow roots, squinting and flapping its ears from time to time.

When Wu Chen and Zhili arrived, it was getting late, so they had to spend the night again. Hearing the footsteps, the big yellow dog suddenly opened his eyes, got up and stared at the two and roared, his eyes fierce as if he was driving away uninvited guests.

The two of them paused for a moment, and were about to step forward, when they heard an ethereal singing voice from the small forest on the left side of the back. Looking back, I saw that under the sunset, on the country road, a big man was walking slowly with an iron hoe and humming a ballad.

The man is five big and three thick, with a full face, black and white eyes, and the long hair on his head is braided into small braids and falls back. Seeing Wu Chen and the others, he stopped singing, came to the two of them and asked aloud, "Are you two here to spend the night?"

Seeing this, Wu Chen stepped forward and bowed his hand slightly, "This big brother, we strayed into this place, it was getting late, and it was inconvenient to hurry, so I thought about coming to bother and bother, and I hope that the old brother will not be blamed." ”

Looking at the man, Wu Chen was secretly surprised, this man was tall, but he revealed an aura like idle clouds and wild cranes, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.

The man laughed heartily, "It's okay, it's okay, you're a guest, you two come with me." With that, he stepped onto the small bridge, came to the willow tree, squatted down and touched the head of the big yellow dog, and comforted, "Ah Huang, don't make any noise, this is a guest." ”

The big yellow dog was obedient, stopped barking, and crawled on the ground, holding his head and squinting as if he were asleep.

The fence was opened, and several people entered the small courtyard. A cobblestone path leads in, flanked by green turf.

Just as he was about to push open the door of the house, the man suddenly slapped his forehead, turned his head to look at the two of them and said, "Little brother, I suddenly forgot, I only have two beds here, do you sleep together, or?"

Before the man finished speaking, Wu Chen and Zhili said in unison, "Let's live separately." They looked at each other, slightly embarrassed.

Seeing the expressions of the two, the man laughed playfully, "Okay, girl, you can sleep alone, and the little brother will sleep with me, how about it?" Wu Chen nodded and clenched his fists, "There is Brother Lao." ”

The man was extremely bold, pushed the door in, "Don't call me big brother, call me Ah San." ”

At night, Zhili had already fallen asleep, and Wu Chen stood in the courtyard, looking at the waning moon in the sky, with a lot of thoughts.

"What's the matter, what's wrong with the little brother?" In the rear, Ah San walked out, saw Wu Chen like this, and threw him a wine gourd.

Wu Chen caught it with one hand, opened the gourd stopper, and drank it in a big gulp. Somehow, every time he drank, he thought of Hua Lun. I don't know what happened to Hua Yun'er, and then I thought of Hua Lun's words that after getting drunk that day, Hua Lun asked him to help take care of Hua Yun'er, so I was worried and poured a sip of wine again.

Seeing him this, Ah San came to the naturally growing bluestone in the yard, sat down regardless of whether it was clean or not, looked up at the sky, and said to himself, "Look at the bright moon in the sky, although it has been hanging in the sky, it is not the bright moon before!"

Wu Chen was stunned, handed the wine jug to Ah San, and also sat on the boulder. Picked up one knee, looked up at the sky, and thought carefully about Ah San's words, but he was puzzled for a while.

Ah San took a sip of wine and shook the wine jug, only to hear a loud noise inside, obviously he had drunk more than half of it, "Little brother, looking at your sad face, is there something urgent?"

"But no, alas, it's a long way, and I don't know when I will reach the mainland, and I don't know why there is such a rule. Wu Chen didn't say it explicitly, after going through a lot of things, he became cautious and would not easily confide in others.

"Haha," Ah San laughed suddenly, but he felt a little bitter in his smile, "The ancient road is a thin horse, and the soul is broken." Who would dare to disobey it!"

"Could it be that the third brother knows?" Hearing Ah San's tone, Wu Chen turned around and saw that his face was stunned. For some reason, Wu Chen always felt that this ordinary man didn't seem to be simple.

"I know a little bit about it," Ah San took a sip and handed the wine jug to Wu Chen again.

In the past, the Xuanling Continent, a generation of heroes, rode horses to fight, laid down the Xuanling country, and established the Xuanling Dynasty. After the change of the times, various sects and factions sprung up and clashed with a generation of kings.

The war was about to break out, the horse leather shrouded the body, and the people were displaced. In the end, the king was defeated, and the Xuanling Dynasty was subverted. The various sects and factions pursued and killed the king, and the seventy-two personal guards of the army king were all destroyed, and finally the war horse under him ran wild with him and escaped from the pursuit of the people.

Under the ancient road, the west wind was thin and the horse was tired, and he fell on the ancient road, foaming at the mouth, and died violently. The king knelt beside his horse, looking up to the sky and weeping, thinking of the millions of soldiers who had died, and the war horses that had followed him all his life.

"I, I have no power to return to heaven, the powerful have made the world lose themselves, and in the end it is the people of Li who suffer. My war horse has been with me for a lifetime, and it should have been free to gallop in the mountains!"

On the ancient road, at dusk. The man wept, knelt in front of the horse, drew his sword and crossed his neck, his eyes closed, "I die, may the Xuanling have no horses, no dynasties, no disputes, and the people will prosper!"

Blood splattered, and the sky was red and rainy. It's strange to say, since then, in the Xuanling Continent, all those who ride horses and abuse horses have gradually died of bad luck. And the sects and factions did not dare to establish a dynasty.

After speaking, Ah San sighed and shook his head, as if he was a little tired, "Go back to the house and rest early." "Get up and walk into the cabin.

Wu Chen didn't go back, still immersed in the story, sighing secretly, how difficult it is to be peaceful and prosperous!

Returning to Shenhai, looking at the shadow under his soul, he was at a loss. In fact, during this time, as long as there is nothing to do, he will wonder what this shadow is, but he still has no clue.

At this moment, Wu Chen's soul was pale and slightly cyan, and there was a trace of thunder at the center of his eyebrows, like a fairy and a demon, which was extremely weird.

sighed, "Without soul art, I have never been able to exert the power of the telekinetic realm, and now I can only use it to explore the movements of more than ten miles." ”

Sitting cross-legged, running the War Clan's body cultivation technique, the brown blood flowing, constantly washing and refining the flesh. After this brown battle blood changes, you can reach the first level of the battle body, and only when the physique is strong can you withstand the second layer of forging the body.

Early in the morning, the birds chirp in the branches, and a new day begins. Wu Chen and Zhili stood at the fence and bowed to Ah Sanyi, "Thank you third brother for taking me in, the younger brother has something to do, so I won't bother." ”

After Wu Chen left, Ah San looked at the back of the two leaving, carried the iron hoe, and walked out.

Xuanling North City, this place is under the jurisdiction of the Worship Heaven Sect, and there are no princes and generals in the Xuanling Continent now, all of them are one side of management. In the past, the eight schools of the ten sects were all under the orders of the Xuanling Palace, but now, the Xuanling Palace has declined, and the management of the Xuanling Hall in various places can no longer be questioned.

In a mansion in Beicheng, between the pavilions and pavilions, there are vibrant green bamboos and strange-shaped stones, and the stones are stacked on top of each other, abrupt and rugged, and magnificent.

And at this moment, in a certain room of the mansion, a man in white opened the letterhead with both hands, and wrote on it, "If you meet a disciple of Xuanling, you will be punished!"

Putting away the letterhead and taking steps, the man came to the window, put his hands behind his back, looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, and said loudly, "Strictly investigate, once you find a Xuanling disciple, you will be killed." ”

Behind, a man in black respectfully clenched his fists in response, then turned to leave. After the man in black left, the man in white touched his chin and muttered, "I heard that Linlang Pavilion is going to hold an auction, I have to go and see what treasures this Yuwen family has obtained!"

Wu Chen and Zhi Li looked at the gate of the North City from a distance, sighed, and walked for a month before arriving at the North City. At this time, Zhili had already changed into a purple dress, after all, she probably knew the situation in the Xuanling Hall now.

The two came to the city gate not far away, looking at the many disciples who worshiped the heavens and were checking, Zhili lowered her head, and the two walked over. Wu Chen is not afraid, anyway, he is not a person from the Xuanling Palace. In fact, the investigation is nothing more than to distinguish from the clothing waist card, after all, there are so many Xuanling disciples, and not many people know the face. As long as you keep these two in your collection, you'll be fine.

Zhili looked at the disciple in front of her, and even opened the storage bag to investigate, and hurriedly pulled Wu Chen to retreat. Wu Chen also saw it, turned his eyes, and whispered to Zhili, "Won't you lose those who represent your identity!"

"How can I enter the Xuanling Domain if I lose my mother," Zhili gave him a roll of the eyes, "There is a maze in the Xuanling Domain, and you must have a waist card to find your way." ”

Wu Chen thought for a moment and stretched out his five fingers at Zhili, "Give me your storage bag," Zhili was puzzled, but still gave it to him.

I saw that after the storage bag was in Wu Chen's hands, he turned over his palm, and the storage bag disappeared. Zhili's face was full of surprise and confusion, "Where's my storage bag?"

glanced at the black ring on Wu Chen's finger, and didn't think much about it, the storage ring can only be used by the Yuan Infant and above, and Wu Chen is obviously not.

"Don't worry, I'll pay you back when I enter the city. With that, Wu Chen walked over.

When the disciple of Heaven Worship saw Wu Chen and the others coming, he blocked their way. Seeing that there were no storage bags on the two of them, they looked at the ring on Wu Chen's finger again, and they didn't think much about it, after all, if it was a Yuanying monk, they flew directly into the city, and they couldn't control it, and they didn't dare to take care of it.

"What are you doing, where are you coming from, the storage bag?" The disciple was full of displeasure, and when he was inspecting the monk's storage bag, if he found something good and detained it for other reasons, those monks did not dare to resist. If you touch this kind of beauty, you have to make a lot of money.

But after seeing that the two of them didn't have storage bags, especially the spiritual power fluctuations on these two people, they were obviously not ordinary people, which made him dissatisfied.

Wu Chen clenched his fists, "Fellow Daoist, we are a loose cultivator who came back from the Beast Domain, and the storage bag was taken away when we were in the Beast Domain, and now we have nothing!" He spread his hands, extremely annoyed,

Hearing Wu Chen's words, the disciple of Heaven Worship sympathized, "Okay, okay, you guys go! Alas, it's also a poor person." ”

"Thank you, Brother Dao. Wu Chen clenched his fists and took Zhili into the city.

In the city, there are so many people, shoulder to shoulder, so lively. The shouting of the hawkers around me was heard, making people's ears numb. There are a lot of dazzling shops on both sides, and when Zhili saw it, she hurriedly ran to a small shop, looked at the masks, and played with them, but she was still childlike.

Wu Chen shook his head, came to her side, flipped his hand, and handed her storage bag to her. His gaze suddenly froze, attracted by a mask. It was a bronze mask with only eyes, which for a while reminded Wu Chen of the black-robed mysterious man.
