After leaving the valley, the marriage of Yingzong and Wen Yuan was held as scheduled.

And Zi Ling, on the pretext that I left the double sword, went away.

More than a year has passed, and Ziling has finally returned to Emei.

The moonlit night of Emei is still the same, but it is like a world away.

Zi Ling unconsciously walked under the osmanthus tree again.

Zi Ling was a little panicked because she saw a familiar figure under the tree.

Dressed in white, cold and lonely.

Zi Ling wanted to turn around and leave. The figure heard the noise and turned around.

Ying Zong couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Ziling.

Zi Ling felt very embarrassed, and stiffly held back a sentence: "Senior brother, what a coincidence." ”

Ying Zong smiled bitterly and did not answer.

Zi Ling felt even more embarrassed, she could only continue: "Are you doing well with Wen Yuan?"

Ying Zong suddenly stared at Zi Ling's eyes and asked, "Is Bingyang good to you?"

Zi Ling couldn't help but be stunned, and stammered and replied, "I, I'm just his master." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zi Ling regretted a little, why did she explain so anxiously?

Just when Zi Ling wanted to find a hole to get into, Bingyang, who was standing not far away, touched his nose and looked at the two of them a little depressed. In fact, he has been following Zi Ling, but Zi Ling is too involved in memories and doesn't notice him at all.

Bingyang cleared his throat and approached the two: "Little Master, didn't you say that you wanted to take me to see the scenery of Emeihou Mountain?"

Zi Ling was startled, and looked at Bingyang with wide eyes: "Eh, yes, yes, let's go, I'll take you for a walk." ”

After speaking, Zi Ling ran away with Bingyang.

Ying Zong looked at the backs of the two, sighed deeply, and turned around again, looking at the bright moon.

.

.

A few days later, the news came that more than 200 members of the family of He Shangshufu in Songzhou were killed overnight.

He Shangshu's son-in-law was killed by heartbreaking, and his eyes were round after his death, and he seemed to be extremely frightened.

It is rumored that this tragedy was committed by a female ghost in red. And this female ghost is still the ex-wife of He Shangshu's son-in-law.

When everyone in Emei heard this, they were all furious, this Yao Qinglan is really a person who will take revenge.

And what worries people in the righteous path even more is that since the opening of the Demon Casting Cave, the Dao has eliminated demons. Hurting demons have appeared one after another in various places.

People in the martial arts gathered in Wudang to discuss the plan to resist the enemy.

The people of Emei, under the leadership of Qin Yi, also headed towards Wudang Mountain.

.

.

Wudang Mountain [7], known as the first immortal mountain in the world, is majestic and awe-inspiring.

One step at a time along the way, it's a pity that Ziling is uncomfortable.

Ying Zong's face was gloomy, and Bingyang also looked preoccupied.

Zi Ling felt very unhappy.

So she pulled Wen Yuan, whispering like a child all the way, walking faster and faster, and soon left the others far away.

It did succeed in getting rid of the others.

But in the end, Ziling himself was confused.

Why are there so many forks in Wudang Mountain!

After turning around, Zi Ling and Wen Yuan couldn't find their way at all.

The two looked at the waning sun in confusion.

Zi Ling pretended to be relaxed: "It's okay, let's find a place to stay for one night, they will definitely come to us tomorrow!"

Wen Yuan also agreed: "Our sisters haven't seen each other for so long, so let's talk." ”

So they found a cave to live in.

Ziling and Wen Yuan grew up in a fishing village. My favorite thing to do in the past was to light the fire and grill the fish.

There were no fish in the mountains, but the two of them lit a fire.

The firelight flickered, and the two seemed to have returned to their happy childhood.

It's a pity that childhood is beautiful, and it can only exist in memories, and it can never be returned.

Zi Ling stared blankly at the firelight. Sitting next to him is his childhood friend, but he is entangled with his own grievances. I can't rejoice, but I can't hold grudges.

A light rain actually fell in the mountains, and a gust of cold wind blew, and Zi Ling couldn't help but shiver.

Wen Yuan stood up and walked to the entrance of the cave, looking at the rainy night outside the cave.

Zi Ling felt that the atmosphere was a little dull, so she said without words: "Wen Yuan, do you remember that when we were children, we did something wrong, so we ran to the cave and hid." ”

Wen Yuan didn't turn around, still looking at the wind and rain, and replied lightly: "Of course I remember." Once I broke Uncle Hong's fishing net, and we hid in the cave. Later, he was found by adults. You are afraid that my father will scold me, so you will say that you broke the fishing net. As a result, you were beaten by your father, and screamed like a pig. ”

"Haha, I, Zi Ling I, a chivalrous woman, how can I scream like a pig!" Zi Ling expressed dissatisfaction, but she had already laughed out loud. It's like a scene from childhood, right in front of you.

Wen Yuan turned around, looked at Zi Ling, who was smiling heartlessly, and sighed: "When I was a child, you always took care of me, and good things were always given to me. ”

"Because we're good friends. Zi Ling replied without thinking.

"So you even want to give it to me Senior Brother Yingzong!" Wen Yuan's face suddenly changed and he said coldly.

Zi Ling was stunned, raised her head to look at Wen Yuan, and stammered, "No, no." You don't listen to what people say. ”

Wen Yuan stared at Zi Ling, and his face became calm: "Zi Ling, do you want to know how I am doing after I get married to Senior Brother Yingzong?"

Zi Ling was even more panicked, she lowered her head and said helplessly, "I, I don't want to know." ”

"But I want to tell you. Wen Yuan sighed, his eyes were a little confused: "I have been married to him until now, and I am not a stranger at all." ”

Zi Ling was shocked, she raised her head and looked at Wen Yuan blankly.

Wen Yuan smiled bitterly: "On the night we got married, Senior Brother Yingzong told me that he was actually dedicated to the Tao, so he would not linger on the world's children's affections. He and I are only husband and wife in name. Since then, we have been living in separate rooms, like passers-by. ”

Zi Ling's heart suddenly hurt a little, but she didn't expect this to be the result. She said unnaturally: "Senior Brother Yingzong is indeed determined. ”

Wen Yuan snorted lightly: "I used to think that he was firm in his heart and didn't love women. But now I know that it turns out that he has other women in his heart. ”

Wen Yuan walked over to Zi Ling and stared at Zi Ling's eyes tightly: "This woman is you!"

Zi Ling had never been so flustered, as if a big lie had been exposed. She tried weakly to justify: "Don't listen to Bu Fan's nonsense. ”

"Hahaha. Wen Yuan actually laughed: "None of you have told me about it." I saw it myself. Wen Yuan said sharply, but tears appeared in the corners of his eyes: "Senior Brother Yingzong looks at you, that is the expression that only people who look at their lovers will have!"

"Since you love each other, why didn't you tell me? Wen Yuan grabbed Zi Ling's arm and said excitedly, "Do you think that if you give me everything, I will be happy?"

Zi Ling was grabbed by Wen Yuan's arm and couldn't say a word.

"I'm not happy at all!" Wen Yuan cried bitterly: "If you do this, the three of us will not be happy for the rest of our lives!"

Zi Ling was gloomy, thinking that he was just sacrificing himself. In the end, it turned out to be wrong.

Zi Ling looked at Wen Yuan, who was crying bitterly, and was stunned for a while.

Suddenly, from the depths of the cave, there was a low voice, and a fishy smell came to my face.

Zi Ling and the others came to their senses and stared closely at the depths of the cave.

A snake!

A gigantic snake!

A large serpent with the thickness of a wheel came from a cave. The triangular head of the snake was erected high, its eyes were like copper bells, and it spat out scarlet letters, and its whole body exuded a cold cyan light.

Zi Ling and the others were stunned.

The giant snake came to the two of them in a blink of an eye, and the smell of fish became even stronger. Suddenly, the snake's head was raised, and a stream of dark green juice shot towards the two of them.

"Be careful!" Zi Ling pushed the stunned Wen Yuan. The Wangwu sword has moved as he wishes, flying in front of Ziling, and the purple light is flourishing.

The dark green juice fell to the ground with a clattering sound, and the ground immediately turned black.

"Toxic. Zi Ling gasped.

Wen Yuan came to his senses, and also sacrificed his magic weapon glass umbrella, protecting it in front of the two, emitting a pale green light.

The serpent was obviously not satisfied with its food and would resist, so it took a big bite and spewed several mouthfuls of venom at the two of them.

Zi Ling and Wen Yuan rolled over and rose into the air, dodging the flying venom while manipulating the magic weapon to attack the giant snake.

I didn't want the giant snake to have rough skin and thick flesh, so the Wangwu sword and the glass umbrella hit the giant snake, and it was bounced out.

The serpent was enraged. The huge tail swept towards the two.

The cave is narrow, and the two of them have difficulty dodging.

"Let's go!" Zi Ling shouted, pulling Wen Yuan up and running towards the entrance of the cave.

The serpent apparently found that the food in its mouth was about to slip away, and was furious, and swept the giant tail again.

But the giant tail did not come towards Zi Ling and the others, but towards the entrance of the cave. In the blink of an eye, the giant tail hit the stone wall at the entrance of the cave. The stone wall swayed instantly, the sand and gravel rolled down, and it was crumbling for a while.

"Oh no, it wants to trap us in a cave!" Wen Yuan exclaimed.

Zi Ling slammed his palm towards Wen Yuan.

Wen Yuan was pushed out of the hole in an instant.

The entrance to the cave collapsed with a bang.

Wen Yuan was shocked, hurriedly turned around, and looked at the entrance of the cave. I saw that the entrance of the cave was filled with boulders, and Zi Ling and the giant snake were all left in the cave.

"No! Ziling!" Wen Yuan's heart sank, and tears fell involuntarily. She frantically pushed the boulder at the entrance of the cave, but she didn't move.

Wen Yuan's hair and clothes were already wet from the rain. But she didn't notice it at all, she just hit the boulder at the entrance of the cave desperately.

Looking at the boulder that had not diminished in the slightest, Wen Yuan gradually calmed down, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Ziling, don't die, you wait for me, I'll go find someone to save you!"

After that, Wen Yuan gritted his teeth and turned his head to run towards the dark rainy night.

.

.

The boulder at the entrance of the Snake Cave was vulnerable to the attacks of several magic weapons.

The people who rushed into the snake cave all had heavy faces.

Walking in the front was a man in black holding a green sword, with an anxious expression, it was Bingyang.

Ying Zong followed, pale and bloodless.

And Wen Yuan had already stumbled and was unsteady on his feet.

The snake cave was empty.

Jin Man couldn't wait to find the depths of the cave, and suddenly shouted again: "There are blood stains here!"

The crowd hurriedly chased after them.

The cave is dark and rugged, but there are clear blood marks along the way.

Ying Zong's face was gloomy, he dipped his hand in the blood stains and looked at them carefully, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's human blood." ”

Jin Man suddenly burst into tears with excitement: "Little Master, you won't be eaten by the big snake!"

"Shut up!" Bing Yang angrily interrupted Jin Man: "Zi Ling won't die." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Bu Fan nodded and agreed: "Zi Ling may just be injured." ”

The crowd continued to search deeper into the cave, but their hearts became heavier and heavier.

At the end of the cave there is a pile of white bones of animals and humans, emitting a strong stench.

Only the giant snake and Ziling were missing.

Wen Yuan couldn't help but hide his face and weep, looking particularly sad in the dark cave.

"It seems that there are other exits to this cave. Maybe the big snake and Ziling have gone from there. Bu Fan looked at Senior Brother Yingzong and said cautiously.

"Don't deceive yourself!" Jin Man shouted loudly again, with a crying voice: "If the little master escapes, how can he leave the Wangwu Sword here!"

Only then did everyone notice that Jin Man was holding a long sword in his hand, and it was Wangwu!

But at this time, Wangwu was gray, without purple brilliance, and the sword was covered with blackened blood.

Wangwu has been psychic, and he will automatically protect the sword master, live and die with the master, and advance and retreat together.

Now that the Wangwu Sword has been abandoned, Ziling's life and death are already worried.

Everyone already knew the outcome in their hearts, but they all stood still, silent, unwilling to accept the reality.

At this time, Bingyang suddenly snatched the Wangwu Sword from Jin Man's hand, turned around and strode out of the cave.

The rest of the people were a little surprised and followed.

I only heard Ying Zong shouting at Bingyang: "Stop, where are you going with the Wangwu Sword?"

Bingyang didn't look back, and said coldly, "You all thought Zi Ling was dead. But I don't believe it. I'm going to find her!"

Ying Zong said in a hoarse voice: "The Wangwu Sword is an Emei holy relic, you can't take it away!"

Bingyang turned his head and stared at Ying Zong, with a fierce look in his eyebrows: "I'm going to take away the Wangwu Sword today, how are you going?"

Ying Zong's eyes flashed, and the phantom dust sword on his back suddenly burst into white light, and it flew into the air in an instant.

Bing Yang snorted coldly, and the Ke Li Sword also skyrocketed, forming a confrontation with the Phantom Dust Sword.

As soon as everyone saw it, Zi Ling's whereabouts were unknown, and Bingyang and Ying Zong became the force of fire and water, and they came up to persuade each other.

Just when everyone was pulling Bingyang and Yingzong apart, the head Qin Yi said in a deep voice: "Bingyang, I understand that you are anxious. But Wangwu Jian can't leave Emei. ”

Bingyang was stunned, after all, Qin Yi was his nominal ancestor, so it was inconvenient to make a mistake. So he thought for a while, took back the Ke Li Sword, took a step forward, and actually handed the Ke Li Sword to Qin Yi with both hands: "Master, I took the Ke Li Sword as a hostage today and took the Wangwu Sword away, just to find Zi Ling. ”

Qin Yi groaned slightly, and said loudly: "Okay! Since you call me a master, you still admit that you are a subordinate of Emei." If the Wangwu sword is in your hand, it will not be considered to leave Emei. Then he took the Ke Li sword and waved his hand at Bingyang: "You go." ”

Everyone was shocked, but they could only watch as Bing Yang carried the Wangwu sword, turned around and left.
