The homeless young man picked up the ancient book, came to Lian Ling, and opened the page, "Look, can you recognize the words on it?" ”

Lian Ling glanced at it and nodded, "This is the text of the Emperor's period, it is not much different from the current text, I can recognize it." ”

"What is written"

"Silence banned... It should be the Sealing Forbidden Technique, you can turn a few more pages and I'll take a look. ”

The homeless young man immediately helped Lian Ling continue to flip through the ancient books, and Lian Ling also watched carefully, her expression was uncertain, as if she had seen something that shocked her.

After a while, despite the twenty or so pages of ancient books, with the help of the homeless youth, Lian Ling had already gone through it roughly.

"It's incredible, part of this book is the same as the sclerosis I practiced!"

When the homeless young man heard this, he looked at Lian Ling with a smile, "Then congratulations on you have picked up the treasure, take it to practice in the future."

Lian Ling was a little disapproving, and pursed his lips, "It's just the same as the part of my exercises, and the core of this book is still in the words --- silence." ”

"Silence... What kind of annihilation?"

Lian Ling continued to explain: "The general meaning of the book is that you can use your body as a fossil to resist the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao and live forever. ”

When the homeless young man heard this, he looked at the stone corpse and couldn't help laughing, "Heh, which neuropathy came up with the method of immortality, what is the point of being a stone to live forever." ”

And Lian Ling on the side had a solemn face, and said coldly: "They can still wake up!"

"Still, can you wake up... Could it be that this stone corpse and these nine big snakes are all relying on this exercise to blind the heavens, and what is waiting here?"

Lian Ling nodded, "It should be like this, this kind of desolate beast, if it awakens, the entire Middle Earth will be overturned by it."

The homeless young man was stunned when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "The book says again, when will they wake up?" ”

Lian Ling shook his head, "However, I think as long as you figure out the meaning on the ancient scrolls, you should be able to understand what they are waiting for, and what they are waiting for appears, and they should wake up." ”

The homeless young man thought for a while, then stretched out his palm, put it on the forehead of the stone corpse, closed his eyes and perceived...

After a long time, the wandering young man opened his eyes in shock and said in a deep voice: "This corpse contains incomparably majestic spiritual power, but there is not the slightest fluctuation of life. ”

When Lian Ling heard this, he looked at the stone corpse on the ground and his clothes, "Judging from this costume, it looks like the dragon robe of the emperor in the ancient painting." ”

The wandering young man turned his head to look at Lian Ling, with a puzzled expression, "What kind of person is the Emperor?"

Lian Ling couldn't help but roll his eyes, "The leader of the forty-nine sects thousands of years ago, this is common sense, why don't you even know this." ”

Wandering, please listen to the words and ponder, muttering to himself, "The man of a thousand years ago was the same as me, what was he waiting for, what was I waiting for..."

Lian Ling saw that there were some gods and gods in the people beside him, so he replied: "It is rumored that the last sect emperor is definitely the same, he entered the immortal array and turned into ashes, if this stone corpse is his, then the rumor is false, and he may not have entered it at all." ”

The homeless young man was shocked when he heard this, "Absolutely, this name is a little familiar..."

"Everyone in the world is familiar with it, because if he hadn't opened the Immortal Array well, there would not be the current era of the end of the law. ”

The homeless young man thought to himself, and then said to Lian Ling:

"Then go out now, I'll take you to meet someone and see if he can give me a clear idea of what is written on this ancient scroll. ”

Lian Ling couldn't help but be a little curious, "Who is this person you are talking about?" ”

The wandering youth groaned, "Hmm... It's the sect master of the Zhengyi Sect, it seems to be, it's called Wen Hua. ”

Lian Ling was shocked when he heard this, isn't it the sect that stole the spirit talisman.

With that, the homeless youth turned his attention to the stone platform on the side.

I saw that on the stone platform, the runes were densely covered, engraved with dozens of sinking grooves, the sinking grooves were about half a palm's size, and the shape of each sinking groove was different.

Lian Ling counted, and said in a deep voice, "There are exactly forty-nine slots, it seems that the legend is true, to open the immortal array, forty-nine spirit runes must be gathered." ”

After that, Lian Ling took out a talisman from his bosom, which was the dragon and tiger spirit talisman of the Zhengyi sect; Lian Ling compared it everywhere on the stone platform, and after a while, he found a sinking groove with a corresponding shape.

Lian Ling placed the talisman on it, and in an instant, the spirit talisman emitted a dazzling light, and the light of the magic circle on the ground was also a little stronger.

Seeing this, the homeless young man couldn't help but be surprised: "You are a member of the Forty-Nine Sects?"

Lian Ling smacked his lips in embarrassment, and said hesitantly: "This is... Stolen. ”

The homeless youth couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha, in addition to being an assassin, you are also a part-time thief." ”

Hearing this, Lian Ling rolled his eyes, and then took the spirit talisman back into his arms.

With that, the wandering young man walked towards the vertical hole leading to the upper layer of the stone cave, but Lian Ling was still stunned.

"Why, you still don't want to go out?"

Lian Ling was startled when he heard this, and turned around and walked towards the homeless youth.

The two came to the bottom of the vertical hole, and the homeless young man picked up Lian Ling, kicked his legs, and jumped up towards the hole above his head.

Beyond the top of the cave, the two returned to the upper stone cave, and after the two landed, they looked at each other and remained silent.

There was a slow chewing sound in the cave, and both of them could imagine in their minds a picture of the femoral head being crushed...

"Quack, quack..."

I saw that the stone snake had already freed itself from the dead knot by some time, and continued to coil into a mountain, with its head tilted under the exit of the sinking hole, chewing on food.

This time, the food was obviously not as piercing as the homeless youth, and a human arm was hanging on the side of the stone snake's mouth, swinging as the stone snake chewed...

The stone snake seemed to sense that the wandering youth was coming up from below, so it chewed and turned its head to look at him.

The homeless young man smacked his lips, came to the stone snake, raised his head and smiled at the stone snake, "Yo, it's time to eat." ”

The stone snake can understand human speech, and actually nodded.

The blood that spilled from the food seeped into its stony skin little by little.

The wandering young man stretched out his hand and put it on the abdomen of the stone snake, sensed it for a while, and said to Lian Ling on the side: "If it eats people, the fluctuations of life will increase." ”

As he spoke, something seemed to have fallen from the cave, and the stone snake had already opened its mouth and was waiting.

With a "poof", a figure fell into the mouth of the stone snake, followed by the slow chewing sound of the stone snake.

The person who falls into the mouth of the snake should still be unconscious when he falls, and when he is bitten by the giant snake, even if he wakes up, he can no longer make a sound.

Figures kept falling from the cave and fell into the mouth of the snake.

The wandering young man stood aside indifferently, waiting for the snake boss to finish his meal, and he could get out through this cave.

On the contrary, Lian Ling's expression was a little weird, and his eyes were full of puzzlement when he looked at the homeless youth, "You... Just look at it, don't you stop it?"

The homeless young man smiled when he heard this, "It eats, why should I care about it." ”

Lian Ling couldn't help but pout, and then said, "But it's eating people."

The homeless young man was still so indifferent, and muttered: "So what, is there a difference between it eating people and eating pigs?"

“....”

Lian Ling couldn't help but be a little speechless, saying this, it seemed to be the same thing, but it didn't seem to be the same thing at all.

Seeing that Lian Ling didn't understand, the wandering young man turned his head to the eating stone snake and said, "Hey, stone, do you say that's the truth?" ”

And the stone snake also let out a dull moan, signaling his approval.

The wandering young man smiled, then looked at Lian Ling again, "You have changed, as an assassin, even if ten thousand people die in front of you, you should not care at all." ”

Lian Ling did not answer, did not deny, but secretly bowed his head and thought.

After being silent for a long time, Lian Ling seemed to have an understanding and said softly, "This is what you said, everything is false, everything is allowed." ”

The homeless youth nodded, "Not bad."

Lian Ling nodded, then shook his head again, "I understand this now, but I still don't understand you." ”

"Oh, don't understand me. ”

Lian Ling looked into the eyes of the homeless young man and said: "Since you have seen through the equality of all things in this way, you are naturally not restrained at all, but why do you want to save me, and why do you want to break into this dangerous place for the sake of these missing people, and at this moment, you are watching these missing people fall into Shekou. ”

Lian Ling breathed a sigh and said all the doubts in her heart, in her heart, she really wanted to know the answer, and she also wanted to understand the person in front of her.

Seeing that Lian Ling's question was so serious, the homeless young man also replied solemnly: "I saved you because I was interested in you, and I came here because I was interested in this place." ”

Lian Ling's eyes widened, his face full of incredulity, "That's all?"

The homeless youth smiled, "Yes, that's all."

"What is good and what is evil in your eyes?" asked Lian Ling.

"If I care about good and evil, how can I save you? ”

Lian Ling opened his mouth, as if he wanted to continue to ask, but was interrupted by the homeless youth.

"What you just asked is nothing more than asking for yourself, and it is you yourself who is confused in the face of good and evil, right?"

Lian Ling was told the hidden thoughts in his heart with a word, sighed leisurely, and nodded.

The wandering young man seemed to intend to say a few more words, turned around and walked to Lian Ling's approach, and Lian Ling also raised his head and looked at him.

"The distinction between good and evil comes from the affection of man; however, the avenue of heaven and earth only has the principle of reincarnation in heaven, so if there is love in heaven, heaven is also old; the Tao gives birth to all things, and man is only one of all things; and those who are entangled in good and evil regard themselves as the Tao. ”

When Lian Ling heard this, he lowered his head and thought about it, and there seemed to be a knot in his heart that was opened, and he smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked up at the homeless youth, who was also smiling and looking at her.

At this time, the stone snake also let out a deep groan, and nodded at the homeless youth, as if he agreed with the homeless youth's words.

The wandering young man then turned to the stone snake and asked, "Have you finished eating, I'm going out." ”

Hearing this, the stone snake nodded, and his red eyes suddenly became a little uncertain.

The homeless young man smiled, "What, are you reluctant to let me go and want to sit down with me?"

The stone snake nodded again, and it was really reluctant.

The wandering young man didn't pay attention to it anymore, picked up Lian Ling and walked to the bottom of the sinking cave, ready to jump into the sinking hole, and jumped up step by step by stepping on the side wall of the sinking cave with his feet.

The huge snake's head landed at the wandering youth's feet, and the stone snake blinked, signaling that he was willing to give him a piece.

The homeless young man jumped on the head of the snake and said with a smile: "There is Brother Lao Snake."

The stone snake slowly rose and sent the wandering youth and Lian Ling to the bottom of the sinking cave.

The homeless youth bowed his head to the stone snake and said, "Farewell"

After that, he jumped into the sinking cave with Lian Ling in his arms, kicked the cave wall with both feet, and jumped upwards one foot at a time.

When the two walked out of the mausoleum, it was already late at night, but the moon was bright, and the wandering young man carried Lian Ling all the way quickly, and in a few moments, he came to the edge of the Qianzhang Mountain when the two came up, jumped and went straight to the bottom of the cliff.

Lian Ling in his arms couldn't help but be stunned and said, "What's the matter, as soon as you come out, are you going to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff with me?"

The wandering young man couldn't help but glance at his lips, but he didn't know how to explain it, there should be a Heavenly Trapping Circle in the mausoleum, so when he was in the cave, he couldn't sense the power of the Dao.

And after leaving the mausoleum at this moment, everything is back to normal, relying on the power of the Tao to control the sky, naturally not afraid of this cliff.

The wind was whistling in his ears, and the snowflakes were flying in front of him, Lian Ling lay on the chest of the homeless young man, looking at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help laughing.

The homeless young man glanced down at the person in his arms, and when he saw his smile like a flower, he also smiled, "What are you laughing at?"

"Laugh at the sight of heaven and earth, what are you laughing at? ”

"Naturally, I laugh because of you. ”

Lian Ling's cheeks flushed, as if he was ashamed.

After a short time, the two of them were in shape, and they had already reached the bottom of the cliff.

The homeless youth did not stop, but continued along the mountain path.

"You can let me down, I can go on my own. ”

The homeless young man didn't care, and replied lightly: "You can't go as fast as me."

When Lian Ling heard this, he was not convinced, but when he looked around, he found that although the homeless young man's footsteps were slow, he could shrink the ground into inches, and one step was several feet away, and the scene in front of him was like turning a book, rapidly retreating.

Lian Ling couldn't help but sigh: "Your body technique simply exceeds the limit of a human being. ”

The homeless young man replied calmly, "Compared with the speed of the extreme path of heaven and earth, it is as slow as a snail." ”

Lian Ling lowered his head and pondered, and looked up at the homeless young man with a puzzled expression, "Now is the era of the end of the law, you can only cultivate the truth, you can't cultivate the Tao, why are you..."

When the homeless young man heard this, he sighed leisurely, "In the future, maybe you will understand."

After a while, the wandering young man held Lian Ling and stood outside the city of Mengyin Town.

"What are we doing here?"

The homeless young man looked down at Lian Ling's arms and said in a deep voice, "Of course, I will find a medical center to re-bandage your arms." ”

Seeing that he was concerned about the condition of his arm, a smile appeared on his face, but he shook his head, "No need, my hand can't be cured anymore." ”

The homeless youth was shocked when he heard this, "Why?"

"The time and intensity used for sclerotherapy exceeded the limit, and the bones of the hand were shattered. Although Lian Ling said this, the smile on his face did not decrease, and he didn't seem to care about his arms.

The homeless young man looked at Lian Ling, who was smiling indifferently, and shook his head, "At the moment, I can't understand you a little. ”

Lian Ling raised his head, looked at the homeless youth, learned the tone of the homeless youth, and pretended to say in a deep voice: "In the future, maybe you will understand." ”

Neither of them spoke, but looked at each other silently, as if hoping to find something in the other's eyes, and soon after, they both laughed quietly at the same time, and in the silence of the night, this faint laughter echoed in the snow.

In fact, the reason why Lian Ling was so indifferent was because after his arm was abolished, he naturally didn't have to kill people for Qin Lian...

The snow is still falling, and in Mengyin City, there is a piece of silver.

"It's so cold outside, then go find an inn so you can rest. ”

Lian Ling shook his head again, "I never rest at night."

Young Lian Ling looked down at Lian Ling in his arms, "You are no longer an assassin who comes out of the day and night."

With that, he hugged Lian Ling and walked towards the city.

In the snow every year, plum blossoms are often drunk.

In the depths of winter, the snow is constantly falling, and Jingru, dressed in yellow, stands alone in the courtyard despite the cold outside, looking at the snow-stained plum blossoms, in a daze.

At the gate of the courtyard, Jing Ao, dressed in black, silently looked at his sister.

"Ahem..."

Jing Ao deliberately coughed lightly twice, and Jing Ru realized that someone had arrived in the courtyard, and looked back at Jing Ao, "Brother, why are you here." ”

Jing Ao walked up to his sister and sighed softly, "It's so late, why don't you rest." ”

Jingru turned her head and looked at the sparkling snow plum in the moonlight, her eyes full of sadness.

"Brother, I've grown so big, why can I only stay at home every day. ”

"In the Middle Earth strife, there are not many hostile people in the outside world staring at our Central Plains Sect, if you go out alone and fall into the hands of others, then Dad should do the same. ”

Hearing this, Jing Ru looked at Jing Ao, "But why is Ah Yun, she can travel alone, she is the holy daughter of the Demon Sect, is her status lower than mine, why is her father not afraid that she will fall into the hands of the enemy!"

At this time, a tall figure stood quietly outside the courtyard, listening to the cry of Jingru in the courtyard.

In Jingru's words, there was already a trace of resentment, resentment of the father who locked himself in a cage...

Jing Ao was speechless for a while, lowered his head, and didn't know how to refute.

was silent for a long time, and when Jing Ao raised his head again, his sister was already full of tears.

"Okay, don't be sad, tomorrow I'll go and beg my father to let you go down the mountain with me. ”

Jing Ru was taken aback when she heard this, and her originally sad face instantly became happy, "Where are you going down the mountain?"

Jing Ao said with a smile: "Say it, I'm afraid you will be happy and can't sleep." ”

"Oh, let's talk about it, I can't sleep if you don't say it!"

"I can only go and beg my father, I don't know if he agrees or not, don't be too happy. ”

When Jing Ru heard this, his mood fell again, "It's also... Dad, he won't agree. ”

The sadness was unbearable while speaking, and the tears finally fell, and Jingru threw herself into her brother's arms and began to cry.

"Okay, don't cry, I promised. ”

A dull voice came, and both siblings looked out of the courtyard with surprised expressions.

The speaker was Jing Lan, who was standing outside the courtyard.

Jinglan then walked into the courtyard, came to Jingru, and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Jingru's eyes.

Looking at her daughter who was still sobbing, Jing Lan smiled and comforted: "Your brother will leave tomorrow, first go to Zhengyizong, and then, go to the East China Sea again." ”

When Jingru heard that her brother was going to the East China Sea, she exclaimed, "The East China Sea!

Jing Ao smiled and patted her daughter's head, full of doting, "Yes, it's her home, Dongshan Island." ”

"Great! Thank you, Dad!"

As she spoke, Jingru threw herself into her father's arms, laughing and shedding tears.

Jing Lan looked helpless, "It's such a big person, why are you still like a child, and you can't pounce into your father's arms at every turn." ”

Jing Ao on the side also said loudly: "Okay sister, hurry up and rest, I have to leave early tomorrow morning, if you can't get up, I won't wait for you." ”

Jingru was shocked when she heard this, "Ah, when are you leaving?"

Jing Ao didn't answer, but continued to urge her to go back to rest quickly.

After Jingru returned to the room, Jinglan glanced at his son, and the father and son walked out of the courtyard.

The moonlight was bright, the father and son stood on the snow, Jinglan sighed lightly, and said to himself:

"Dugu Zheng only has one daughter, I think, he let his baby daughter participate in the Middle Earth dispute, probably too, helpless. ”

Jing Ao looked suspicious and asked out loud: "Dad, what do you mean, that Dugu is trying to pass on the throne to her daughter in the future?"

Jing Lan nodded, "Yes, the Dugu clan claims to be a descendant of the sea god, so the Tianlong Sect has always only passed on the Dugu clan, and he Dugu Zheng has no choice." ”

Jing Ao couldn't help but pout, "Then why doesn't he have another son, like our family, a son and a daughter, how good." ”

When Jing Lan heard his son say this, he laughed out loud, "It's not that he doesn't want to, it's his grumpy wife who ran back to Fusang many years ago, and Duguzheng didn't dare to marry again." ”

"Fusang? Duguzheng's wife is from Fusang? ”

Jing Lan nodded, "Well, this kind of secret, the outside world naturally doesn't know. ”

Jing Ao seemed to be curious, so he continued to ask, "Then why did his wife abandon her husband and daughter and return to Fusang?"

"Hehe, do you think his wife is an ordinary person, she is the princess of the Fuso shogunate family. ”

"Ahh

Jing Lan pondered for a moment and continued, "He Dugu Zheng was also hated by the shogunate family because of this incident, if it wasn't for her wife's ruthless departure, Fusang would have hit the East China Sea back then. ”

Jing Ao was surprised when he heard such a scandal for the first time, but he was shocked that his father would not tell him these things for no reason.

"Father, are you telling me this to remind the child of something?"

Jing Lan smiled and nodded, "Yes, I can think that I have other intentions, and it is not in vain that Li Xin taught you during this time. ”

"Because of this, he Duguzheng has long had the intention of attacking Fusang, but he has always been worried that Zhongtu will take the opportunity to set up his lair in the East China Sea. ”

"So... No wonder my father asked me to go to the East China Sea to show my alliance, because he wanted to encourage Dugu to attack Fusang. ”

"Yes, he went to Fusang to rob her wife, as for me, hmph, it's time to have a showdown with Jue Ye!"

Chapter 45: The End
