The moonlight shines on the cold lake, looking eerie.

This lake is shaped like a jewel, bottomless, like a tear shed from the sky, embedded in the mountains, without any people in a radius of dozens of miles, as if this land has been abandoned by the world.

At this time, under the bright moonlight, a figure quickly swept through the air, landed on the shore of the lake, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and sighed lightly, it was the man in black who appeared in Guiyuan Temple during the day.

There was a splash on the surface of the lake, and a dark figure gradually came out of the water and sat beside him.

The person who crawled out of the water was dressed in a black robe, with an old face, a large figure, and his exposed skin was tinged with paleness that made people palpitate, as if he had been soaking in the water for a long time, resulting in some swelling, his hands and feet were tied by four huge chains, and he walked with an extremely harsh metal collision sound, and countless black ice were condensed on the chains, and there were faint golden runes flashing, and the other end was in the dark and cold lake.

The black shadow asked, "How is it, is there any news of the Sanqing Blood Melting Pill?"

The man in black nodded slightly, then shook his head again.

The black shadow said: "Someone snatched it away, with your strength, how could you let someone else snatch it away?"

The man in black turned his head and looked at the black shadow: "I was snatched away by your brother, I went too late, the Sanqing Melting Blood Pill in the hand of the monk Buchen had already been taken by him, when I went, I just saw someone trying to kill him, so I saved him, the one who killed him seemed to be the person of Qi Yunguan, Qiubai, in the years that you disappeared, your brother seems to have experienced a lot of things." ”

This ragged person is Qiu Ze's brother Qiu Bai, who died five years ago!

Qiu Bai's face was full of surprise, and he said in shock: "My brother, how could he be in Guiyuan Temple? Didn't he worship Qi Yun Temple? How could he be killed by Qi Yun Guan's people?"

The man in black frowned and said: "I don't know, when I went, what I saw was that he was killed by Qi Yunguan's people, looking at the person's appearance, it should still be a mountain gate, he is with a girl from the Devouring Sect, looking like that, your brother should have betrayed the master." ”

Qiu Bai was surprised: "What the hell is going on? My younger brother has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and his heart is full of righteousness, how can he be with the people of the Devouring Sect?"

The man in black glanced at Qiu Bai and quipped, "I am also a member of the Devouring Sect, and I am still the master of the Devouring Sect, why are you with me?" and also worshiped under my sect and became my disciple. ”

Qiu Ze shook his head and said: "You are different, although you act debauched, you are not evil in your heart, otherwise I would not worship you as a teacher." ”

The man in black fell silent, and after a long time, he muttered, "Am I not evil...... That's because you haven't seen my evil appearance, otherwise you would have retracted your words. ”

"How's my brother?"

The man in black sneered: "It's not good, although he escaped under my protection, but from now on, I'm afraid he will become the target of the entire Central Plains...... In order to protect him, I killed dozens of people, and these bad debts will all be counted on him sooner or later. ”

Qiu Bai nodded: "It's okay, as long as he is still alive, by the way, have you heard about my father?"

The man in black turned his head to look at Qiu Bai, and said in a deep voice: "Two months ago, I went to Wu County, but I heard the news that your father had died a few years ago, and I heard that he was executed by the imperial court for embezzlement. ”

Hearing the news that Qiu Qitian had died, Qiu Bai was shocked for a moment, and then muttered, "Dead?"

"That's right, it's dead. ”

Qiubai couldn't control it anymore, and let out cold tears! But they were quickly solidified into ice cubes.

"Impossible! My father must have been framed by someone for his upright demeanor! I don't believe he would do anything corrupt and pervert the law! There is absolutely no way!"

Qiu Bai's voice became louder and louder, and his emotions became more and more excited, as his body began to fill with black qi, the runes on the four chains began to flash with golden light, which actually suppressed all his black qi, and the chains began to shrink rapidly, deeply embedded in Qiu Bai's hands and feet!

The man in black immediately stretched out a hand and clicked on Qiu Bai's body a few times, and all the black qi on Qiu Bai's body dispersed, and the man in black grabbed Qiu Bai's collar hard, and said sharply: "Qiu Bai, I know that the joys and sorrows in the world are the most sorrowful, but you can't be depressed, otherwise this seal will not be broken! You can only lie in this cold lake forever! There will be no chance to come out again!"

Qiu Bai choked for a moment, his eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and asked in a low voice, "How is my brother?"

The man in black snorted: "He took the Sanqing Blood Melting Pill a few months ago, and now his body is very good, you don't have to worry about him, his talent is as unique as yours! Now that he has reached the third level of advanced spiritual cultivation, I am afraid that it will not be long before he can advance to the fourth level of spiritual cultivation." ”

Qiu Bai nodded gloomily and said, "It seems that this is the only good news." ”

The two fell silent, and after a long time, the man in black opened his mouth to break the silence: "How are you doing down there?"

Qiu Bai raised his hand and looked at his body: "It's okay, it's quiet, I like it very much, it's just a little cold, this body can't bear it, it is estimated that it won't be long before it will be completely corrupted." ”

"It's naturally cold, the Xuan Ice on the chain is left by Qing Yi, it's cold and biting, and it will never melt!

Qiu Bai said coldly: "I think it's okay, at least it's much stronger than Eryu on the ground, it's cold, it's cold, I'm different from you, my heart has long been cold." ”

The man in black turned his head, and there was some surprise in his eyes: "So you don't want to go back to the ground, do you?"

Qiubai shook his head: "Even if I don't want to come back, I have to come back, the runes on the chains are gradually getting lighter, haven't you noticed that the lake is no longer frozen?"

"It's been a long time since I've been back, and there's really no ice on the surface of this lake, so you're going to be coming out soon, so let's change your body back." ”

"Xuanbing's suffering, I can still stand it, you better go find the rest of the Sanqing Blood Melting Pill as soon as possible, without the Sanqing Blood Melting Pill, your meridians will never grow. ”

"How can it be so easy, the recipe for refining the Sanqing Melting Blood Pill has been lost, there are only three Sanqing Melting Blood Pills circulating in the world, the first one was served by Qingyi a hundred years ago, and the second one was given to the dustless monk by Qingyi decades ago, and now it has been eaten by your brother, and the last one is missing, and the Fansang ancient tree has long been extinct, without the Dragon Flame Fruit, there will never be a Sanqing Melting Blood Pill in this world. ”

Qiubai groaned: "Since the whereabouts are unknown, there is still a glimmer of hope, you shouldn't give up, can you wait for the runes to disappear, and you will drag this rotten body out?"

"Rot, rot, rot, I have been frozen at the bottom of the lake for three hundred years, and I can't remember a lot of things!" The man in black became excited, and his body gradually emitted black gas: "Three hundred years! It was pitch black, there was no sound! There was no light! I forgot a lot of things, I don't know why I was still alive! For revenge? But my strength is so damaged now that I can't even beat Qingyi, not to mention that Qingyun is still alive!"

Qiu Ze's voice became louder and louder, and the black qi on his body turned out to be more intense, like a drop of ink passed into the water, making the originally not very bright environment even darker, and in the woods not far away, several birds were startled by Qiu Ze's angry roar and flew away, and were killed by the scattered black qi and fell into the woods.

Qiu Bai sighed secretly and gently patted the man in black on the shoulder: "There have been no animals in the woods here for a long time, and it is precisely because you have been exerting your resentment all the time that a flock of birds have come over in the past few years, and now you have killed them again...... That's it, this body, you can continue to use it, and leave the rest of the time to me, this is not a kind of cultivation, my father is dead, I have nothing to worry about, since you can survive until now, you can't give up easily. ”

The man in black nodded slightly and said, "You go back, the rune is going to attack again, and next, I won't come to visit you for a long time, I hope that before the rune disappears, you are still alive." ”

After saying this, the man in black spread his black wings behind his back and flew into the air, looking at his distant back, Qiu Bai let out a long sigh and slowly walked towards the lake until the lake flooded his head.

The lake was calm again, and no one seemed to have been there except for some broken ice on the shore.
