In the depths of the night, an ancient temple in the deserted mountains was blown by the night wind, and mercilessly knocked on the ruins around it, making a whistling sound! As the earth on the broken wall fell, I don't know how long this ancient temple remained.

Under the statue of the god in the ancient temple, a pile of firewood brightened up in this dark ancient temple, "crackling, crackling" exploded, the firewood was burning very vigorously, looking at the warm firelight, it added a touch of warmth to this cold and barren ancient temple.

Outside the ancient temple, on a certain mountain, a graceful figure quietly appeared on a smooth boulder on the top of the mountain, that is a young woman, black and white clothes dancing in the wind, appearing in this barren mountains and mountains, as if she is the most beautiful elf in the mountain, she is quietly staring at the fertile mountains ahead, her thoughts are flying......

At this moment, the night seems colder and cooler!

On her back, she slanted a long sword of water blue, and the sword light danced faintly, like a firefly in the middle of the night, shining brightly.

"Senior Sister Ye, you haven't rested so late!"

A voice broke the silence and stability that should exist here, and a man appeared behind the woman, and he was standing not far away, who was this person Gu Nanyun?

And what he said from his mouth was Senior Sister Ye, who was naturally Ye Lanjing, a disciple of Haoqing Palace.

Ye Lanjing heard the sound, she slowly turned around and looked at the man in front of her, the faint light reflected his angular face, which was carrying a warm smile, which made people feel warm in their hearts.

The two of them stared at each other for a while, as if they were lovers they hadn't seen for a long time, in this dark night, in this cold wind, they met affectionately......

Ye Lanjing felt that she was a little out of shape at this moment, and hurriedly turned her head to look away, recovering her indifference as always.

She said coldly: "Thank you, I'm fine, you can rest early!"

Gu Nanyun was a short distance away from her, and when he saw her thin figure swaying in the wind, he almost staggered, and there was an urge to get close to her for a while.

But when he saw Ye Lanjing's indifferent appearance, there seemed to be a deep and wide gap between him and her, which was an insurmountable distance!

"Hmm...... That's good!"

Gu Nanyun thought for a moment and then said, "I see that Senior Sister Ye is a little different during the day, do you remember something from before?"

After Ye Lanjing heard Gu Nanyun's words, she couldn't help but look stunned, as if Gu Nanyun had guessed her thoughts, she looked at him coldly, with a trace of killing intent in her cold eyes, because she didn't like others to figure out her thoughts.

Ye Lanjing's move made Gu Nanyun chuckle in his heart when he saw it, he was usually good at observing words and feelings, and immediately realized that he might have touched her bottom line.

He hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Nanyun lost his words for a while, and asked Senior Sister Ye not to be surprised, I shouldn't be nosy!"

Ye Lanjing saw the man in front of her sincerely apologize, her expression gradually calmed down, and then turned dark, and a touch of sadness swept over her fair face!

At this moment, Ye Lanjing didn't want to mention anything to the person in front of her, but she couldn't help but want to say something after all, she looked at the man in front of her, maybe a few words would make her feel better.

I only heard her cold voice float out: "You're right, I did remember some of the past today!"

Ye Lanjing sighed, and continued in a slightly sad tone: "The past is vivid, who would have thought that before I entered the gate of Haoqing Palace, I was just an ordinary little girl, living a wandering life of street performers!"

Gu Nanyun looked at her somewhat pitiful look, and said in her heart that this Senior Sister Ye's life experience was somewhat similar to his, presumably her parents were long gone!

At this moment, Ye Lanjing was silent for a while, this short time reminded her of the past when she was a child, as if it was yesterday, a clear dream woke up! The two lines of tears in the corners of her eyes had flowed out at some point, shining in the dark night, and then slid to the ground.

At this time, her body trembled slightly, she was almost unstable in the whistling mountain wind, Gu Nanyun looked at the painful appearance of the woman in front of her, he cast a little sympathetic gaze, she was no longer the cold person, but a weak woman who needed someone to protect!

This...... Is it her truest appearance? Is that cold and untouchable face her disguised mask? Gu Nanyun sighed in his heart!

Time was passing little by little, Ye Lanjing no longer looked at him, but looked her gaze farther away, and her thoughts drifted into the distance.

A mournful voice rang out, and she said, "Do you remember those acrobatic performances we saw when we were in that town today?"

When Gu Nanyun heard this, how clever he was, looking at her abnormal look today, he must have guessed something.

"Your parents ......" Gu Nanyun said this, and he didn't say any more.

Ye Lanjing still looked into the distance, turned her back to him, and recalled lightly: "I was born in a poor peasant family since I was a child, my parents made a living by selling arts, and our family of three depended on each other for their lives, running around to make a living by selling arts. Until one day, you can ......"

She was speechless, and her grievances and grief poured out into tears......

Time seemed to freeze here, and the miserable woman on the boulder on the top of the mountain was silent, letting the mountain wind blow her clothes, her long hair, and then a jade hand was raised, gently wiping away the tears that had blurred her vision.

Ye Lanjing said in a trembling voice, "But...... I vaguely remember that day after my parents finished the performance, when we were about to pack our bags and prepare to leave, suddenly a few bullies rushed out of the crowd, saying that they wanted to collect some protection money, and my father had to give it, and those bullies looked at the few copper coins given by my father but were not satisfied, and under some angry scolding, they actually beat my parents to death cruelly, and I was very scared at that time, and I watched my parents die tragically under their clutches, and both fell to the ground!"

She paused for a moment, then continued: "Just as those demonic bullies came to my side with fierce eyes, I almost fainted, unconscious, and when I woke up again, I found that I had been taken to Haoqing Palace, and the person who saved me was my mentor Su Ming Shitai, and since then, I have not seen my parents again!"

A long sigh of sadness came into Gu Nanyun's heart, why didn't he think of his parents and his uncle at this time, and his mood was low for a while......

Gu Nanyun looked at the sad and cold woman in front of him, how much he wanted to hug her tightly and take care of her, but when he thought about it, he was not her, and he couldn't help but smile a little bitterly in his heart.

At this time. He had to say some comforting words, and he said, "Senior Sister Ye, I'm really sorry, Nanyun shouldn't have let you mention these sad pasts!"

Ye Lanjing turned around, the words she said before made her feel a lot more comfortable, her eyes looked at the man in front of her quietly, how could she have thought that this person was the only man she had poured out the truth, and it was also the first time in her life that she cried sadly in front of this man!

Thinking of this, she forcibly held back the random thoughts in her heart, and immediately returned to her usual coldness and arrogance!

Gu Nanyun looked a little embarrassed, coughed dryly a few times, and said to her, "That'...... Senior Sister Ye, you rest early, Nanyun retires!"

Ye Lanjing stood in the wind, not moving, nor responding to his words.

After finishing speaking, Gu Nanyun glanced at her again, and then turned around and left.

The night was as dark as ever, the mountain wind was as usual, and a lonely figure was isolated on the boulder, but as everyone knows, when the other figure gradually left, there was a graceful figure behind her staring, until the figure in front of her disappeared.

Vertical day.

"Driving...... Drive...... ...... driving"

On an ancient road in Yunzhou, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the road surface was still relatively wet in the morning, and when a group of fast horses galloped past, splashing the flying mud.

The people on horseback, judging from their clothes and faces, were a group of Xiuzhen chivalrous warriors who traveled in the rivers and lakes, and there were about a dozen people.

I only heard one of the dozen or so cultivators say, "Everyone, hurry up, we must rush to the Desolate Forest within three days!"

When the leader finished speaking, one of the people in the crowd following behind answered: "I don't know what that spirit beast looks like, I heard that this beast has extraordinary divine power, and it is said that it can also use the power of this spirit beast to enhance cultivation!"

Later, there was another humanitarian: "Now all the cultivators and strange people in Yunzhou have gone to the Desolate Forest, the purpose is to see this rare strange beast for a thousand years, but more people want to occupy it, even the people of the Tianwei Holy Sect also want to get this spirit beast, I have to be careful when I go here!"

Ahead, the leader heard the discussion of the two people behind, and he smiled a little proudly: "Everyone, please listen to me, as long as we find the artifact Qibao Bell and surrender the spirit beast, it can be used by us, and then why worry about the big thing!"

When he had finished speaking, all the people quickened their speeds, raised their whips, and rode in the northwest direction......

As soon as this news came out, many sect forces were on their way to it, and even many people from other major states heard the news.

Today's Kyushu has always been turbulent, under the oppression of the Tianwei Holy Sect and the infestation of the demons of the Great Wilderness Mountain, many sects secretly kill and fight with each other, chasing fame and fortune, and the contradictions have intensified. This time, they all went to the Desolate Forest, and a battle to the death was inevitable!

However, in today's world, the ten major sects stand in the world, and the Tianshu Holy Sect is one of these major sects, and the other nine major sects are all the gates of the righteous path. Among them, the three major sects of Yunhua Sword Sect, Haoqing Palace and Shenlie Hall were used as the pillars of leadership, and then they also suppressed those ambitious and unscrupulous minority factions, so that Kyushu would not be destroyed by them!

Shenbao Villa.

Gu Nanyun, Ye Lanjing, and Lin Xu had all returned to Shenbao Villa, and explained the results of their investigation to Duanmu Qi and Xie Yuan.

In the hall, Lin Xu got up and looked at the people present, and he said in an orderly manner: "This time, Senior Sister Lan Jing and Senior Brother Gu and I have been searching for many days, but the road has been quite peaceful, but the whereabouts of the Seven Treasure Bell and the Spirit Beast have not been discovered!"

He paused, a look of shame on his face. And Yue Ningyi, who was sitting opposite Lin Xu, was looking at him affectionately, thinking that she hadn't seen him for many days, and her eyes showed a hot different feeling.

Lin Xu continued: "On the way back for the three of us, I heard a rumor that the spirit beast inhabited a secret realm in the northwest of Yunzhou, the "Desolate Forest", and the Qibao Bell is said to be among them!

At this time, everyone in the field did not have any change in their expressions after hearing this, as usual, thinking that the spirit beast was living in the Desolate Forest, this news had already spread all over the world, and most of the sect forces of all parties began to march towards the Desolate Forest, so the people present had already heard about it!

In the hall, Xie Yuan got up, he looked at Lin Xu and waved his hand: "Lin Shaoxia, please sit down, according to the old man, this news should be true, now all the sect forces are gathered in the Desolate Forest, it is reported that the Tianyu Cult has sent four holy envoys, and there is a mysterious Taoist of the Good Buqi Gate Array, such a formation is really powerful!"

He looked up at the top of the main hall, his face was gloomy, and he sighed: "This battle of spirit beasts, a big battle is inevitable, I don't know how many people have bled to death because of this!"

When Duanmuqi who was present heard this, she said with a firm look: "Lord Xie Zhuang cares about the safety of the common people, and we admire such benevolence and righteousness. However, the top priority at the moment is to rush to the desolate forest to stop this war, and not to let the cult demons take advantage of it!"

"Hmmm!

Xie Yuan nodded again and again, and said, "If the cult is allowed to get the Qibao Bell and that spirit beast, it will inevitably be even more unscrupulous, and the world will suffer for the sake of disaster, so if you want to overthrow the cult, it will be even more troublesome." ”

At this moment, He Dahong, who had been staying on the side, heard this conversation and already understood the meaning!

He immediately clenched his fists and said to the people present in a deep voice: "Since the matter is clear, I, He Dahong, as a disciple of the Dingdao Sect, are naturally duty-bound, and I want to join you and go with you!"

Duanmuqi looked at his chivalrous and awe-inspiring appearance, and she smiled and said, "It is naturally best for any young man to join." ”

She looked at Xie Yuan's side again, thought for a while, and said, "Master Xie, since this spirit beast has traces, and the Tianyi Cult has appeared this time, I think I can set off today and go straight to the Desolate Forest." ”

After hearing this, Xie Yuan nodded slightly, he pondered for a while, and then said to Duanmu Qi: "It must be extremely dangerous for you to go this time, plus the four holy envoys of the cult are profound, not to be underestimated!"

Then, he was a little ashamed, and then said: "The cult demon everyone has to be punished, although my Divine Treasure Villa can't help much today, but I also want to do my part, I want to give you this magic weapon, I hope this trip can help you, if necessary, you can save your life!"

After everyone heard Xie Yuan's words, they didn't speak for a while, and after Gu Nanyun heard it at this time, he asked at the moment: "I don't know what the magic weapon that Xie Zhuang mainly gave us? Nanyun really wants to see it!"

"Please come with me to the Divine Soldier Building!"

After Xie Yuan finished speaking, he took Gu Nanyun and the others to an attic in the villa.

At this time, everyone looked up at the tall straight attic in front of them, which was more like a tall tower than an attic. I saw that the golden light was overflowing, and there was a faint roar of a dragon and a tiger.

In everyone's hearts, everyone understands that there should be a lot of magic weapons in this building, most of these magic weapons come from the ancient strange people cast or the secret realm of the world, and I don't know how many cultivators in the world come to visit, just to get a satisfactory magic weapon!

Not much.

But seeing Xie Yuan slowly walking out of the Divine Soldier Building, he saw that he was holding up a hemispherical object in his hand, the size of an egg, with golden light lingering, and on the surface, he could faintly see the swastika of Buddhism flowing and spinning.

Xie Yuan held this magic weapon in the palm of his hand with one hand, and looked at everyone while "haha" and said with a smile: "This thing is called Tianluo Cover, which is originally owned by the Tianluo Temple of the Buddha Sect in Leizhou!"

He continued: "Many years ago, the old man went to Leizhou Bodan Mountain, and at that time he encountered a catastrophe in the Tianluo Temple on the mountain. ”

Everyone in the audience watched intently, but seeing this egg-sized treasure, it was hard to imagine how to save the life of this family.

At this time, among the crowd, Yan Zhen, a disciple of Cangyun Peak of the Yunhua Sword Sect, was a little puzzled, and he asked, "This magic weapon seems to be plain, I don't know where the subtlety is?"

"Haha!"

Xie Yuan smiled again, and said: "This day Luo Hood contains the supreme Buddhism of Buddhism, and it is a defensive magic weapon specially designed to deal with the fierce beasts of ancient times, you see that this Buddha light is pure and warm, if you encounter the spirit beast and the pig attacking you, you just need to hold up this thing in your hand and silently recite the spell, this magic weapon will be able to sense the crisis around it, and it will immediately become larger, like a net cover, covering the people who need protection in it, indestructible!"

At this time, Duanmu Qi took a step forward from the crowd and said: "Thank you so much for the magic weapon from the owner, we will make good use of it, and when this crisis is resolved and the cult demon is repelled, he will definitely come to the door to return the magic weapon one day!"

Xie Yuan shook his head a little after hearing this, and he said loudly: "What did Duanmu Woman say, since the things sent by the old man, how can they be recycled, and I hope that you will accept it!"

Duanmuqi was no longer polite, she replied: "In this way, then I will be respectful and obey my orders, and accept it!"

Xie Yuan looked at the people in front of him, and when he saw Gu Nanyun, he said: "Gu Shaoxia, you will take the Luo cover this day, I see that you are smart and alert, you should be able to make good use of this magic weapon in an emergency, so it is best for you to keep it." ”

Then, he sighed a little and said: "Although this treasure is powerful, but it is a long time, every time you use it, the Buddha power will be reduced, and the defensive power is not as good as before, so you must remember that this magic weapon is not easy to use when it is not a thousand difficulties!"

At this time, Xie Yuan told Gu Nanyun about the spell that urged the Tianluo Hood and asked him to write it down.

Subsequently, Gu Nanyun wrote down the spell, he took the Tianluo cover in Xie Yuan's hand, when this magic weapon touched his palm, a warm breath flowed all over his body, making him feel comfortable physically and mentally, and he didn't realize that this Buddhist treasure was really beneficial to the body!

He picked up the Tianluo cover and stuffed it into the gap in the shirt on his chest, he thought to himself, this trip to the desolate forest was full of dangers, and with this treasure, he couldn't help but feel the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and the safety of everyone was all on his own. Therefore, he must use this magic weapon well, and he must not insult the teacher!

Afterwards, he bowed his hand and thanked: "Thank you to the owner for the magic weapon, the younger generation will definitely make use of it!"

Time flew quietly, it was already three poles in the sun, Duanmuqi and the others and a group of nine people said goodbye to Shenbao Villa, and went all the way to the northwest of Yunzhou, and went straight to the barren forest!

Under the boundless sky, nine rays of light suddenly appeared, it was Duanmuqi and the others flying in the air, and soon after, they all flew down to a small forest to rest for a while.

In the woods, Duanmuqi sat under a big tree, closing his eyes and raising his mind.

She has always been happy to walk without showing her color, and she looks like a strict teacher, and along the way, the other eight people respect her!

On the other side of the woods, Lin Xu had always been more calm, just like Duanmuqi, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, seeing that his face was a little tired, and Yue Ningyi, who was not far from him, was sitting on the ground, she looked at Lin Xu and didn't speak, but a pretty face would throw herself at Lin Xu's side from time to time.

Not far away, only heard the sound of snoring, looking along the sound, you can see a strong man sleeping in the distance, that person is not He Dahong and who is it, thinking that he is afraid of noisy others, so he ran away to rest.

There was also Chu Zhichuan who came with him, he was in a good state today, and at this time he was chatting with Yan Zhen and Wen Li of the Yunhua Sword Sect, talking and laughing.

"Hungry, Senior Sister Ye eat some dry food!"

A gentle man's voice came into Ye Lanjing's ears, and she raised her head and looked at Gu Nanyun who was walking towards her, who was still holding some dry food in his hand.

Her face was still as cold as her, she reached out and gently took the dry food handed by Gu Nanyun, and said lightly, "Thank you!"

Afterwards, Gu Nanyun walked in front of the others to deliver water or dry food, and seeing his inconspicuous actions, he was all looked at by Ye Lanjing behind him.

In a trance, the woman smiled lightly at his back, just this smile, as if all the scenery in this world has become beautiful and brilliant, and the smile is like a delicate flower, beautiful and peerless!
