Hundreds of miles of snowfield, heavy snowfall.

Snowflakes are like a curtain falling, blocking the view. And at this moment, there is an old man with a tiger's back on the snow field walking shirtless to the place of Cangxue Ridge, and the old man is like a fly on the water surface in the vast snow field, extremely small.

It's just weird that if someone stands on the snowfield, they can't ignore the figure of the old man.

In the curtain woven by the heavy snow, the old man is small, but bright as the stars.

......

Ye Hongfeng turned his head to look in the direction of Beiyuan behind him, and cold sweat slipped down his forehead.

For some reason, he was always a little uneasy in his heart, as if there was a wild beast slowly walking behind him.

"You feel it too?" asked Liu Ruoxin, whose eyelashes moved slightly.

"Yes, this place is not suitable for long. ”

Ye Hongfeng retracted his gaze and looked at the hole in front of him.

The wind and snow spread out in front of the cave entrance, as if there was an invisible barrier separating this place from heaven and earth, even if the snow was quite deep before, there was not the slightest trace of snow in front of the cave more than ten feet now. The withered yellow branches hung down on the earthen wall outside the cave, and in such a cold place, the scene in front of me was really a little strange.

Ye Hongfeng had roughly guessed that the voice he heard when he was wandering into the world last night was exactly what it was, the great demon who suppressed under the Cangxue Ridge - Qi Xingzhi!

He didn't want to go into the cave, after all, the man's reputation outside was not very good, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was notorious. He was afraid of him, or rather...... It's afraid of him.

"It's all here, and it's a little unkind not to go in and have a look. Ye Hongfeng forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and walked in cautiously.

The cave is not very spacious, and the dead vines are wrapped around the cave walls, and dust occasionally falls as you pass by.

He held his breath and took three steps with each step. This also blamed him, since the two of them entered the cave, the coercion he had just felt on the snow field had increased a little, and now he only felt that his throat seemed to be pinched by someone, and there was a foul and unpleasant smell on the tip of his nose, and he was disgusting.

A short walk inside, the cave gradually became wider.

The walls of the cave are scrawled with murals, and if you only talk about the appearance of these murals, I am afraid that even the young children in Kyoto are not able to compare.

The person who painted this painting must have gone insane.

Ye Hongfeng stared at the few crooked marks on the cave wall, and he was a little distracted for a while. The mural is ugly, but the artistic conception in the painting is like a fairyland on earth.

It is a strange high mountain, if the peak is cut into, people can look at it, there is a majestic atmosphere brewing in the chest, Top Gun. The road up the mountain is paved with bluestone slabs, the road side is covered with lush spiritual plants, looking up, a academy can be faintly seen on the top of the mountain, the white walls and red tiles, the lake is rippling, the cranes are soaring, there is a weather of its own.

His gaze gradually narrowed away, and he finally saw the full view of the mountain peak. He clenched the hilt of his sword, as if there was a kind of pride hidden in his heart, just waiting to express it at this moment. A string of names came to his mind - Ximing Mountain, White Deer Garden, Bibo Lake, Scholar Road, and ...... Qi Yun Sect!

He took a step back, and the Nine Heavens fell from his hand and fell to the ground, waking him up from his hallucination.

Liu Ruoxin stepped forward to hold him up, and kept patting his back with her hand to comfort him a little.

Qi Yunzong's name is not unfamiliar to him for a long time, and he often hears people around him mention it. And this great demon suppressed under the mountain was the young sect master of Qi Yun Sect back then-Qi Xingzhi.

He rubbed his eyes and continued to look at the marks on the cave wall.

One day, the clouds in the sky turned bloody, and a strong evil qi enveloped Ximing Mountain, swallowing the majestic righteousness on the mountain. The Confucian cultivators walked out one after another, either standing next to the academy or standing in the mountain road, they looked up at the blood clouds in the sky, their faces solemn.

The rest of the picture was a little blurry, and he could barely see a few blue-faced fanged monsters dragging heavy chains out of the clouds, and then slaughtering the monks in the mountains like beasts eating people. The picture suddenly trembled a little, accompanied by a hoarse wail, crashing into his sea of consciousness, which made his heart tremble.

How sad is this, so that after nearly a thousand years, people can still feel the deep despair and sorrow of the person who painted this mural.

Ye Hongfeng touched his cheeks, already wet with tears.

"You...... Are you still afraid of me?"

A voice came from the void, breaking the silence.

"Senior...... Great work. Ye Hongfeng stood up, clenched his fists, and said in a choked voice.

For so many years, he has been suppressed under the snow-capped mountains, unable to survive or die. All day long, I have to bear the painful memories of the collapse of the sect, and I have a body of cultivation that leads to heaven, but I don't even know who the enemy is. It's not easy to survive alone.

The voice smiled, and the laughter was full of sadness.

"Don't mention the past. If you dare to enter this cave, I will fulfill my promise. Come to me, I'll send you...... A transformation. ”

The inside of the cave is extremely large, and there are many forks in the road, and the two of them are pulled by the voice, and only then did they find a stone gate.

The stone door opened automatically when the two of them arrived, and when they looked into the eye, they could see a thin old man with a disheveled hair sitting in the middle of the cave, bound by chains.

"Come, sit. The old man reached out and nodded in front of him, motioning for the two to sit beside him.

"Seniors...... Mr. Qi?"

The old man nodded and replied with a smile, "I'm just a lonely soul who hasn't died, so what kind of gentleman can I be?"

Liu Ruoxin shook her head and continued: "My little ancestor once said that Mr. Qi's nature is not bad. ”

Qi Xingzhi was a little stunned, and then laughed and said, "Senior Li is really a mistake. ”

"Why is Mr. Qi trapped here? I don't think Mr. Qi is a wicked person. Ye Hongfeng leaned forward and asked.

Qi Xingzhi looked at him with memories in his eyes. Then he sighed and said: "I committed too many sins back then, and I was hunted down and killed by the Daomen and the various sects, I thought that I would definitely die, but I never thought that I would be fortunate to have the help of the host, so that I could survive until now...... When I came to Cangxueling, Luo'er had just turned one year old. Only when I reflect on my mistakes under this snowy mountain, can Luo'er live in peace, this is what Daomen promised me. ”

Ye Hongfeng was a little puzzled, and continued to ask: "I don't know what the predecessor said about Luo'er......"

Before he finished his words, he heard Qi Xingzhi interrupt: "I sensed Luo'er's breath on you before, and you ...... Do you have any of her belongings?"

Ye Hongfeng was still suspicious in his heart, and slowly took out a simple white jade with a round body from his body, he wanted to ask out loud, but the moment he saw the old man's expression, all the doubts disappeared.

Qi Xingzhi stared at the white jade, tears couldn't help but overflow from his eyes, he trembled his hands, took this white jade, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

This white jade was given to him by the fourth senior sister when she left, he had been in Yunshan for more than a month, and he had never heard of the senior sister's father, so he thought about it, but he was afraid that the senior sister herself would not know where her relatives were. And the scene in front of him made him even more convinced that the old man in front of him was the father of the fourth senior sister.

"Luo'er, are you okay now?" Qi Xingzhi came back to his senses and asked.

"Senior sister, everything is fine, Mr. Qi doesn't have to worry too much. ”

"That's good, that's good......" Qi Xingzhi muttered in his mouth, and kept chanting in pieces.

......

Yunshan, Dongdao Gate.

Yun Chenzi peeled the citrus and asked, "That kid entered Cangxue Ridge?"

"Yes. Qin Kunhai stood aside and said gently.

"Yan Luo gave him that jade pendant?"

"Hmm. ”

Yun Chenzi suddenly stopped peeling oranges, looked at the north, and said leisurely: "That kid from Qi Yunzong has been trapped under the snow mountain for too long, and now is not the time to wake up. ”

Qin Kunhai was a little hesitant, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Master, it seems that Zhan Zu has woken up and is heading to Cangxue Ridge......

"This old thing, after so many years, his ambition has not diminished at all, and he actually hit my apprentice with the idea...... After the teacher had eaten this orange, he went to have a good exchange with the old thing. ”

Qin Kunhai rolled his eyes and ignored it again.

......

Cangxue Ridge, in a cave.

Qi Xingzhi stretched out a hand and asked, "Since you are Luo'er's junior brother, I should give you some creation, which is what I promised you before." You have a sword on you, can you show me?"

Hearing this, Ye Hongfeng took the Nine Heavens from his back and handed it to the old man.

Qi Xingzhi stroked the body of the sword and sighed softly: "Half a wisp of ink covers the clouds and smoke, and a little bit of Jinhua lingers." It is said that this sword is sharp, and one sword can break the nine heavens. Do you recognize the Li family's little ancestor?"

Liu Ruoxin turned her head to look at him, a little surprised. Ye Hongfeng shook his head and asked, "This sword was given to me by a deceased senior, and I don't know who the little ancestor you are talking about is. ”

Qi Xingzhi smiled calmly, cast a spell to mark a few marks on the sword, and said, "If you want to know the origin of this sword, when you return to the Xuanyuan Divine Kingdom, there may be some opportunities." You just have to remember that this sword is not as ordinary as you think, and there is a lot involved behind it. He half-squinted, and was about to fall into a deep sleep, and said with a breath in his mouth, "I have hidden the magic in my sword, and when you use it, it will be imprinted in the sea of your knowledge...... That old barbarian thing is coming, you ...... Take care. ”

Qi Xingzhi finished the last words in a daze, and then fell asleep with his head down. Ye Hongfeng got up and clenched his fists to show his gratitude.

He didn't fully understand the old man's last words, but he knew that after leaving the cave, he would definitely die nine deaths, and the so-called barbarian old man didn't seem to be simple.

He turned around, nodded slightly at Liu Ruoxin, and then faced the direction of Beiyuan, and clenched the hilt of his sword.

So whoever comes, he must fight to the death. Even if you can't kill the man, biting off a piece of meat will pay off.

His fingers tapped lightly on the scabbard, and he took a step forward.

As Qi Xingzhi said.

It is said that this sword is sharp, and one sword can break the Nine Heavens!
