The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the four fields are vast.

The old man, who has been practicing medicine all his life, held the two herbs left in his arms, and walked tremblingly to the two newly erected graves, with old tears on his face.

"All my life, I've been saving people. In a huge Duxiu Village, I managed to save Seven, Seven, Eight, and Eight, but none of my two sons could be saved. ”

He sprinkled a handful of herbs in his arms in front of the grave and wiped away the old tears from his eyes.

"That's it, that's it. This huge village is also the time to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle. The doctor is not benevolent, how different from the devil. ”

The twilight wind swept in, picked up a field of herbs, and disappeared.

It was the autumn of the first year of the Heavenly Sage, and that was the beginning of everything.

That year, Zhao Wu'an worshiped in Huaixi Jiuda Temple.

That year, Tu Mi took over the Kunlun Divine Sword from Yan Daohuo's hands.

That year, Liu Siye rescued Mo Dao, who was dying in the cold wind, from outside the villa.

In today's rivers and lakes, although the three kings of the Greedy Demon Palace, the six evils and the four evils and the Duyun of the Dailou have occupied the name of the evil demon, which makes people talk about the tiger's color change and be frightened. But when it comes to this place where all evils gather in the rivers and lakes, the first thing that countless martial arts people think of is still the Black Cloud Society.

No one knows exactly where the helm of the Black Cloud Society is located. Dongfang Lian, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, gathered countless generous knights in the world, and claimed ten years ago that he wanted to destroy the organization that controlled half of the vendetta business in the rivers and lakes, but he has not been able to do so to this day.

Yan Daohuo knows this.

Since 70 years ago, Xie Hui has been recognized as a business genius. The Jiangnan Silk Village, which has been inherited by the Xie family for nine generations, not only failed to wither as many businessmen expected, but became bigger and bigger under the exclusion of countless colleagues, and was exported to Tubo and Yezuo.

From that time on, Yan Daohuo knew that Xie Hui would succeed in this life. As for whether he was the leader of the righteous path of Cheng Wulin, or the demon who everyone was punished, she really couldn't see it at that time.

Now, she finally understands something. She didn't really know much, but she could see herself clearly. To see Xie Hui clearly, it is still far from enough.

Black Cloud will guard her, seemingly very lax. With the Dao Sect Qi that she had cultivated over the past few decades, she could kill it almost effortlessly.

But Yan Daohuo sat in the private room all day long, looking at the portrait of Lao Jun on the wall, and meditated cross-legged. The long snow-white hair was scattered like a waterfall, gently behind him, and he was dressed in a blue and white robe, spotless.

Day after day, it's like she's still on the Kunlun Mountain, drinking in the ice room.

At the end of each day, a white dove sent a piece of paper from the window, the content of which was the same, it was all bright red numbers. Starting from "seventeenth", it gradually increased to "twenty-one" and "forty-nine", and yesterday it became "ninety-two".

Yan Daohuo was burned after reading it as usual. The candle flame licked the paper, causing it to gradually dissolve into a cloud of ashes.

"After Tu Mi kills all ninety-nine people, are you willing to tell her the truth?"

Outside the house, the deep voice of the old friend sounded.

Yan Daohuo bowed his head silently, and did not answer directly, but responded in a deep voice: "You have come back from Miao Jiang?"

Xie Hui was stunned for a rare moment, and said with emotion: "It is worthy of being a Taoist job, and he is still as smart and dexterous as he was back then." ”

"Calculate the time, only Miao Jiang is worth your trip. Yan Daohuo said lightly, "I have spent my life to bring out this true blood disciple for you, and I hope you will cherish it for a long time." ”

"How does it compare to Advisor Market?"

"After this incident, please also send Wenxu back to Kunlun and succeed to the position of the Taoist sect. Yan Dao closed his eyes, "Xian Xin Sword, Pure Heart Formula, Heart Nourishing Pill, the three Kunlun holy relics have been passed on to Tu Mi." Using her to deal with Dongfang Lian Mo should be nine out of ten. ”

Xie Hui said faintly: "I just don't know if the ten-mile tornado in the Gobi back then was the pinnacle of his life." ”

Hearing Xie Hui's words, a look of anger suddenly appeared on Yan Daohuo's face: "Tu Mi is already the only heir of Xian Xinjian, so what is the use of you taking another life on the Advisor Ruin?"

Unexpectedly, Xie Hui just sighed softly.

"Two to one grade, worlds apart. Gathering spirits to reach the mysteries is another difficulty. Above the Xuan, it is for creation. Dongfang Lianmo is now the pinnacle of the Creation Realm, and there is a line between it and the legendary Heavenly Destiny Realm. ”

Yan Daohuo said disapprovingly: "There was also a line between me and the Heavenly Mandate Realm back then. ”

"It's just that I don't know if Tu Mi can pass this hurdle. Xie Hui shook his head and said, "In Fuzhou City, I used Liu Zhilei as bait to lure Mo Dao to appear, but I was preempted by Dongfang Lianmo. Now Mo Dao must have been placed under his careful protection, even if he sent a first-class master, he was afraid that it would be more than lucky. ”

"Mo Dao......" Yan Daohuo muttered to himself, "The variable you are talking about is this person." ”

"Change to change, to rob to eliminate disaster. Xie Hui said lightly, "This is my usual chess path." ”

"I know. ”

Time has passed over them, leaving marks on their cheeks and weight on their backs.

But countless years have passed. Xie Hui's back was rickety, but it never collapsed, Yan Dao's beard was white, but the light in his pupils was especially prosperous.

They are all waiting for this game of chess, the one that will come to the end.

Shuzhong, Tang Gate.

Surrounded by mountains, Tangjiabao is located in this group of mountains and green, there is a murmuring water in the town under the mountain, when you climb the steps and go up to the mountainside, you can see the waterfall in the long gorge opposite.

The waterfall is nearly 20 zhang long, and on both sides of the huge canyon, only a suspension bridge is connected.

At this time, on the suspension bridge, a group of four people was marching forward in a line.

The man at the front was dressed in an elegant robe, with long hair tied high, and Peiyu held a sword, and his aura was magnificent.

And the young man behind him was dressed in a cyan power suit, carrying double knives, and his face was full of rebelliousness.

Mo Dao, who was walking in the middle, held the broken sea knife that the young master had just handed over to him in both hands, and looked at the waterfall that seemed to hang down from the clouds.

Xiao'e in Tsing Yi, who walked at the end, hid her face and smiled: "Son, don't be distracted." In the future, if you live in Tangjiabao, you will have the opportunity to climb the Linxian Stone and watch the waterfall every day, wouldn't it be more comfortable than here?"

Mo Dao was stunned for a while, and then he realized that Xiao'e in Tsing Yi was laughing at herself, and immediately embarrassed for a moment, and quickly caught up with Liu Zhilei and Dongfang Lianmo, who were walking in front.

Liu Zhilei's face was not good, but Dongfang Lianmo undoubtedly showed the host's limelight, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Knowing the book, if the guest wants to watch the waterfall, he will accompany him, and it can be regarded as the friendship of the landlord, how can there be a gift of urging?"

Walking at the end of the four, Xiao'e, who was petite and had a pretty face, gently blessed her body and said obediently: "Know the book and know the mistake." Distinguished guests, but please take care of yourself, know the book to accompany the left and right, and never complain. ”

Dongfang Lian Mo smiled: "Don't worry too much, although my Tang Sect is today's martial arts holy land, I don't take those etiquette rules in my eyes." You are in Tangmen, please take care of everything. If there is a need, give an order, and someone will naturally help. ”

Mo Dao could only nod in response, but still didn't dare to slow down, and followed closely behind Liu Zhilei and walked across the suspension bridge.

Yue Zhishu followed behind him, constantly hiding his face and snickering.

Tangmen and Tangjiabao, although they all have the surname Tang, but today's owners are no longer the people who built the fort back then. Dongfang Lianmo has lived here for many years as the leader of the martial arts alliance, and has made friends with heroes from all over the world, making it a place where talents from all over the world gather. It was only then that those fishing and rice towns at the foot of the mountain were born.

However, Hugh said that he had never seen much of the world's Mo Dao, and even Yi Xuelan, who was known as the "divine worker" back then, couldn't help but marvel at this ingenious work when he saw this fortress standing between the mountainsides.

Yes, ordinary words are not enough to describe the mystery and majesty of this fort. Although most of the martial arts talents did not have the opportunity to personally visit every house in Tangjiabao, just by looking at it from the outside, they could know where their ingenuity was.

Three mountains gather veins, and there are six springs flowing under them. The main building of Tangjiabao stands on a piece of outer convex mountain rock, which is forty feet high, and can almost pick the stars by hand. And the rest of the pavilions, even more sandwiched between the mountains and rocks, as if born by themselves, is breathtaking.

Until he personally walked into Tangjiabao, Mo Dao held the Broken Sea Knife in both hands, and still felt like he was dreaming.

Since Fuzhou City was rescued by Dongfang Lian Mo, even Liu Zhilei was pardoned for capital crimes, and a Broken Sea Knife was given as Mo Dao's saber, and they were brought here all the way.

Although along the way, Liu Zhilei rarely talked to him, and in the face of Mo Dao's cold and warmth, it was just a hasty response, Mo Tao thought that he was reluctant to use the Broken Sea Knife, but after thinking about it, the second young master was originally such a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted temperament, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but was quite grateful for Dongfang Lianmo's appearance.

This dream-like feeling finally woke up completely when he was taken into the room specially prepared for him by Dongfang Lianmo.

There was nothing else in the room, only two bronze men, and countless swords, guns, swords, halberds, and a list of them.

"Liu Zhilei is a key criminal arrested by the dynasty, even if it is in my prestige, I can only hide it for you for a while in Tangjiabao. Dongfang Lianmo still had a warm smile on his face, "Within a month, if you can't fight Liu Zhilei, you will die for him." Don't worry, the Broken Sea Knife will still be delivered to him eventually. ”

Looking at Dongfang Lianmo's warm smiling face, Mo Dao couldn't react for a while: "What?"

"I said, after a month, you and Liu Zhilei will fight to the death, the winner will live, and the loser will die. Dongfang Lian Mo repeated without any pause, turned and walked away.

Mo Dao was stunned for a long time, then he felt that something was not right, and hurriedly wanted to chase him out, but was stopped by Tsing Yi Xiao'e, who was called Yue Zhishu.

"Childe, where are you going?"

Yue Zhishu also had a warm smile on his face.

Mo Dao was stunned, and his face turned red with some anxiety: "I'm going to find the alliance leader......"

"The alliance leader has a lot of opportunities, how can you meet at will?" Yue Zhishu's face grew.

Mo Dao only felt that there was bitterness and couldn't say it. This little lady doesn't look stupid, but she refuses to get out of the way.

Rao is as dull as him, and he understands a little bit at this moment. This girl, who had been arranged by Dongfang Lianmo to take care of him since the first day she saw him, was actually a watchman.

Mo Dao said bitterly: "What the alliance leader said, is it serious?"

"yes. Yue Zhishu nodded seriously, "If it's outside Tangjia Fort, even he won't be able to protect you for so long." Is it really child's play when the decree of the Great Song Dynasty is child's play?"

"That second young master, what is his crime, why was he sentenced to death in Fuzhou City, and beheaded on the spot?"

"I don't know. ”

Yue Zhishu smiled.

"The only thing I know is that Childe is going to kill him. And during this month, Zhishu will accompany you and serve you. Practicing knives, controlling qi, and sleeping and eating, I will never leave one step. ”

Twilight Village has been quiet for years.

Although this village is not much smaller than Qingdi Township, and there are few poor families in the village who can only afford thatched houses, it has always been plain. Businessmen come and go, and after all, there are few outsiders who visit.

However, at the dawn of summer, there was a girl in red, dragging a huge red box in one hand, and carrying an unconscious layman on her back, and came to Duxiu Village.

The old man, who had been neglected in the village for a long time, finally had to dig out his old account book, grind a plate of old inkstone, dye a few drops of ink with a forked sheep's hair, and then write down a sum of herb expenditure on it.
