Chapter 1: Burden

In the dark forest, Ding Yang ran for his life.

When Qu Cheng took Tu Yuan to the duel, he fled from Baicaotang, he was unwilling to serve ten years in prison there, he wanted to leave, he wanted to go elsewhere to study the Fa.

He swam across the Canghe River and into the mountains.

For some reason, he always felt that someone was chasing him behind him, and he knew that someone would catch up with him, but he didn't know when he would catch up and who would chase him.

He caught a hare, tied one of his underwear to the hare's body, and burrowed himself into a large hollow in a tree where he could hide from him, but as soon as he was near the tree, he could see him very clearly.

He took a piece of bark from his baggage, and saw him cover the tree on his body, and an obscure aura flashed up.

I saw that his body was quickly covered, and a layer of old bark spread from his body, and after a while, his whole person was covered with a layer of bark, and the metamorphosis bark was the same as the original bark, dark black, covered with the lines of old trees. It was originally a large tree with holes, but now it is intact.

In the darkness, there was a shadow looming in the black forest, he was wearing a black cloak, and under the cloak, his whole person seemed to be hidden in the void.

He looked at the place, his nose moved slightly, and after sniffing, he suddenly went quickly in one direction, and his body was as light as smoke, and quickly disappeared into the forest.

It didn't take long for the man to come back again, he searched everywhere, and then chased in another direction, and after a long time, in the darkness, his figure quietly appeared again, like a wisp of black veil, standing in the dark forest.

Eventually, he left and never reappeared.

When Ding Yang came out of the hole in the tree, there was surprise on his face, and then he quickly walked into the distance.

He came all the way to a small city, which was the place where he was born, called Drum City, so the terrain resembles a drum, hence the name.

He went to Chunliwon, the most prosperous part of the drum city, a brothel where his sister had been sold by his father. Before he entered the Yin Soul Valley to become an inner disciple, he first gave a sum of money to the middleman, otherwise he would not have been able to meet the person who recruited the inner disciple in the Yin Soul Valley, and that money came from his sister's selling money.

He first used the invisibility charm to find his sister, and then brought her out.

didn't go back, but directly took his sister to the outside of the city, out of the city, directly to the south, he wanted to get out of the sphere of influence of the Valley of the Shadows.

After four days of rapid travel, I came to a three-way intersection, there are several tea sheds, there is no village in front of here, there is no shop behind, so although a tea shed here is simple, there will still be passing people or caravans stopping here to rest.

The farther south you go, the more you go out of the sphere of influence of the Valley of the Shadows.

Ding Yang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and now he was probably about to escape from the Valley of the Shadows.

"Xiaomei, let's go in and rest, drink some water, eat something before leaving. Ding Yang said.

"Okay, listen to my brother. Ding Mei replied.

It was only when she followed her brother into the tea shed that she found that her brother suddenly stood there and did not move. Ding Yang saw a person in his eyes.

"Are you here to kill me?" Ding Yang asked, not thinking that the other party would let go of the opportunity to kill him.

Because that person is none other than Tu Yuan.

"What do you think?" asked Tu Yuan.

Ding Yang didn't answer, he looked back at his sister and said, "Let my sister go." ”

Tu Yuan looked at his sister, a woman who was not very beautiful, but she had probably been in that kind of place for a long time, and she had some smoke and dust, and compared to the simplicity of ordinary women, she had a trace of smoke on her body.

"You are not qualified to make a request. Tu Yuan said.

Ding Yang gritted his teeth, and suddenly waved his hand, a rune light had already shone up from between his waves, and that rune light rushed towards Tu Yuan, Tu Yuan flipped his hand, raised his hand and grabbed it, that rune light had already been grabbed by him in his hand, and with a hard pinch, it had already dispersed.

It was a chaotic rune, which would confuse people's spirits, and it was similar to the town god, but it was much less powerful, so Tu Yuan could directly grasp it in his hand with the spirit snatcher.

For this kind of yin and yang miscellaneous talismans, his spirit capture method is quite restrained.

Ding Yang's face changed, he thought that he was not Tu Yuan's opponent, but he didn't know how big the gap was. The two of them entered the door almost at the same time, and now Tu Yuan was already concentrating, and he didn't know when he would be able to reach that step, he was unwilling.

But helpless.

"I asked myself, there is nothing to be sorry for you, and I spared your life for a while, but you turned around and wanted to kill me?

Ding Yang's eyes were a little red, and he didn't know whether it was anger, hatred, or shame.

"That's right, you did spare me once in that mountain temple, but, have you ever thought about what it was because of it in the first place?" Speaking of this, Ding Yang paused, stretched out his hand and pointed at Tu Yuan, and said loudly: "It's you, if it weren't for you saying that I know that Gao Hu forced you to copy the spirit book, would I be punished?" I won't, I won't be threatened by Gao Long when I return to the door after being punished for three years, it's all you, I just want to practice well, practice quietly, and I don't want to get involved in your fight, but you disrupted my practice, and you forced me to do that. ”

Speaking of this, Ding Yang's eyes were red, but his voice was unprecedentedly firm.

Tu Yuan was silent, he thought of Ding Yang after he was also robbed of Bigu Dan, and he reluctantly went to pick up the work of cleaning the thatched house.

Ding Yang's sister Ding Mei finally figured out that the person in front of her was here to arrest her brother back, she knelt on the ground with a thud, and said: "You kill me before you arrest my brother and go back, if you don't kill me, I will also commit suicide when my brother is taken away by you, if you are willing to believe the words of a dusty woman, then I can swear, if my brother harms you again, I will die in front of you, since you have shown your kindness, then please show it again." ”

Looking at Ding Mei who was kneeling on the ground and bowing to the ground, Tu Yuan didn't say a word, and Ding Yang next to him didn't say a word begging for mercy this time, which was completely different from when he knelt on the ground in the temple and begged for mercy and cried bitterly.

Today he is stubborn, his lips pursed.

Tu Yuan's face also had the lines of his teeth clenched, and he suddenly shouted, "Bring a pot of wine." ”

Dr. Tea hurriedly sent wine, although it is a tea shop, but wine is indispensable.

Tu Yuan poured three glasses of wine, then picked up one himself, raised his head to drink, and said, "Don't come back for at least ten years." He turned around and walked out of the tea shop and strode away.

Ding Yang looked at Tu Yuan in the distance, almost couldn't believe his eyes, Ding Mei got up, and when she looked at her brother, she found that her brother was already crying silently.

"Brother......

"Meizi, my brother is not particularly useless. ”

"No, brother, you're the best. ”

Ding Yang hugged his sister and cried bitterly: "Meizi, my brother swears that one day, he must return to this place, and let the people of this land be afraid because of hearing the name 'Ding Yang'." ”

......

Tu Yuan had an indescribable feeling in his heart, he didn't know what this kind of soft-heartedness was, but he knew very well that if he killed Ding Yang and saw his sister commit suicide in front of him, then he would never be comfortable for the rest of his life.

Let him go, it doesn't matter if Ding Yang will hate himself again, the reason for letting him go is that his sister, a girl dares to say something like that, just say that, he is willing to let Ding Yang go again.

After the fighting was over, after returning to Baicaotang, he knew that Ding Yang had escaped, and he chased after him as soon as possible, he also did not catch up, but he decided to wait in the small city where his sister was sold, he knew that there were people in the valley who also went to the drum city, but they were waiting at his house, but Ding Yang did not go home, but went directly to the Lichun Courtyard, and took his sister out of the city directly, and did not go home at all.

He was right, so he stopped Ding Yang at the edge of the Yin Soul Valley's sphere of influence.

There is still a day's journey from the Valley of the Shadows, sitting by a lake, closing his eyes and meditating, opening his mouth to swallow the aura of heaven and earth. The aura was like smoke in the moonlight, coiling on the surface of the lake, like a python like a snake, coiled out and swallowed back into Tu Yuan's mouth, and spit out again after a while.

Every time it is sucked back, there is a surge of wind on the surface of the lake.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and stood up openly, for he saw a reflection in the water of the lake, and the moon was like frost, and the reflection in the lake became clearer and clearer.

It's a person.

A person who is completely immersed in the water, but his face and body can be seen clearly, and it becomes clearer and clearer, like a person drawn on a silk silk, and then the silk silk is spread in the water, and the person in the water is like a person in the painting.

The lake was wave after wave, but the person was fluctuated, but it was not washed away in the slightest.

There was a trace of cold sweat on Tu Yuan's back, and there was a trace of fear in his heart.

"Hehe......"

He heard the laughter, which was made by the man in the water, because it seemed to come from through the thick water, but he did not see the mouth of the man in the water moving, perhaps it was the waves that covered it.

"Who are you?"

With Tu Yuan's questioning, the person in the water suddenly sat up, a man in white. When he sat up and stood on the water, Tu Yuan recognized the other party at a glance.

That is the person I saw at first sight when I came to this world, that is, the person who killed this identity master. He was reduced to a puddle of water and disappeared into the snow.

"Remember who I am?" the man in white asked, still so indifferent, with a cold look in his eyes that there was no trace of age on his face.

Tu Yuan was silent, he was thinking about his words.

"You killed Tu Xiu, but you can do it. The man in white said.

"There's always going to be someone who dies. Tu Yuan said.

"That's right, in this world, the strong are born, the weak die, you two fight to the death, he dies, that means he is weak, but, don't forget it, your parents and family, you killed Tu Xiu, aren't you afraid that they will be killed?" said the man in white.

Tu Yuan's eyes narrowed and he didn't answer.

"Hehe, don't worry, after you killed Tu Xiu, I have taken your parents to a safe place, no one will find him, now, you are in the Valley of Yin Souls, you don't need to do anything, just practice well, and when you need to do something, the family will come to inform you." ”

After saying this, he didn't wait for Tu Yuan to answer anything, and the whole person was like a water statue that suddenly collapsed into the lake and disappeared.

Tu Yuan stood there, looking at the lake, and finally turned around and walked towards the Hundred Grass Hall in the Yin Soul Valley in the moonlight.
