Although this road is a shortcut to Wanling Mountain, it is also impassable at this time.

If you have to walk over, it's to step over their corpses.

From the foot of the mountain to the halfway point of the mountain as the trail, this distance is no longer a road, but a road full of corpses. Who are these people? I don't know.

Some of them may be farmers, some may be hunters, and some may be fishermen. Maybe some are girls in the mood for seventeen or eighteen years, maybe some are Tanhua who has just been named on the gold list, or maybe they are a family with children and grandchildren who are just waiting to enjoy the joy of family, or maybe ...... Now they think that there is no difference, there is no meaning.

No one would have thought that this would be the case, including the corpses lying across the road, they were lined up in an orderly manner, was this the last mercy of the man who killed them? Their blood had been drunk by the road, and now they were not even corpses, only dried corpses.

Pity Xiangyu's tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes, whether it was fright or pity, she couldn't tell why she was crying. Not only him, but everyone present could not explain how he was feeling right now.

Sora slowly walked in front of the crowd and continued to walk forward. His steps were not fast, but heavy, and each step seemed to shake the land.

Lying in front of the empty feet was the corpse of a girl, a girl about the same age as Sora. Her eyes didn't close, her dilated pupils never forgetting what she saw at the last moment or the person she saw, the person who caused her pain.

Sora knelt in front of her, his hands folded, two lines of tears flowing from the corners of his eyes, and his mouth was reciting the Sutra of the Death Mantra.

Everyone closed their eyes, bowed their heads, and silently prayed for the rest of the dead.

How long has it been? I don't know. Now everyone doesn't care about time anymore.

After reciting the scriptures, he overtook the spirits of the dead, turned to the crowd and said, "Now that the spirits of the dead have rested, let us also go on our way." ”

Lian Xiangyu suddenly wanted to say something, but Ling Quanfei grabbed her wrist, she was stunned, and Ling Quanfei shook his head at her.

The crowd is on their way. Of course, they no longer take this path, they choose to walk through the woods and look for another path.

The trees were thick, and there was no road, so ten men and ten horses walked through the trees, and the speed naturally slowed down a lot. But not a single person complained, not even a single person spoke, and no one asked the question that everyone wanted to ask the most.

- Who exactly?

- Is there anything more cruel in the world than this?

- Whoever he is, he is no longer human.

- Whoever did it, he will be damned!

Qi Ying'er had never been so grieved, because this kind of grief did not come from himself, but from them. Innocent people. What are they doing wrong? ......

Everyone's face was covered with sweat, and everyone seemed to be carrying a heavy burden. Jiang Chuanhai's iron-plated face will also soften, and he will also show confusion - what to save people, what to save, who to save?

Yi Wanxuan had seen this kind of scene, and it was on the battlefield. But it was a battlefield, and only the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country and fought bravely and well fell on the battlefield, and there were just ordinary people.

Qin Ping's rugged face also became deep at this time, like a seriously injured lion. Feng Yu will never calm down as before, his breathing has always been rapid, and now that they have been gone for a long time, they still seem to be able to smell the blood in the air.

"Vomit!" Lian Xiangyu hurriedly ran away a few steps, holding on to a thick tree with her hand and vomiting.

It was the first time since they left that place that they had stopped. Ling Quanfei approached Lian Xiangyu, "Are you alright?"

Lian Xiangyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her trembling body did not stop from the beginning, and she insisted on holding on until now, which was already her maximum. She's strong, but she's a woman.

Ling Quanfei led her horse: "Get on the horse, take a rest, I'll lead it." ”

Lian Xiangyu looked at him in a daze. Why? Why should you be gentle with yourself at such a time? Why should you experience your gentleness in this situation?...... She couldn't think about it anymore, and suddenly her body went limp, and she actually collapsed. But instead of falling on the icy ground, she collapsed into a warm embrace.

Ling Quanfei carried her on his back, led the horse, and continued to walk forward.

Qi Ying'er brought Ling Quanfei's horse, and Ling Quanfei smiled at him and said, "Thank you." ”

That kind of smile doesn't seem to be a thank you. Qi Ying'er was very sharp, and that smile was too heavy, and it made people feel cold. It was an angry smile. An imperceptible anger. Even though Ling Quanfei had always been calm and calm, the anger in his heart was already burning. It was a fire ignited by his chivalrous heart or his warmth for the world.

Hong Hanming also noticed that his own feelings were also in chaos at this time, and he didn't know what to think. The road in front of him passed under his feet little by little. The horse's hooves and horses' wheezing were rhythmic, and even then it was difficult for him to sort out his thoughts at the moment.

Liang Laosan walked silently at the back, perhaps because he didn't want others to notice that he would also have a lost side, let alone let others see that he had been crying. He himself crawled out of the pile of dead. - Will there be any living in those who are lying down?

Empty, he is like air. His face was as calm as ever, and his mouth was always flat, sometimes making people think he was laughing, sometimes making people think he was sad. But it can be seen from his eyes that he is not at all confused, he knows what to do. The clear eyes illuminated the road ahead like two lights.

The moon is high and pale. But its pale light illuminated the way for a group of people in the woods.

The wind greeted the crowd from the far south through the dense woods. The owl is "cooing". Everyone's steps are becoming more and more determined.

At this moment, someone stopped. Yes, Hong Hanming.

Hong Hanming said: "Is it from Li Jiaji?"

Everyone stopped.

Feng Yu said: "If it really is, then Nangong He didn't arrest them back?"

"He didn't need to take them back. ”

Qin Ping said: "If those are the missing people, could it be that the third brother is also among them?"

Sora: "Perhaps." ”

Qin Ping was stunned, he didn't want to hear such an answer, his fists were clenched, and he turned around to go back, but was stopped by Feng Yu.

Qin Ping asked, "What are you doing?"

Feng Yu's face was solemn, and he shook his head and said, "I can't go back." ”

Qin Ping broke away from his hand, his whole body trembled, and said, "Why can't you go back, the third brother may be there....... Since you will not go back with me, I will go on my own. Then he turned to leave.

Feng Yu suddenly pulled out the rattan snake stick he was carrying behind his back and placed it across his chest, and leaned forward, strangling Qin Ping's body. Qin Ping said angrily: "Second brother, what are you doing!"

Feng Yu said with difficulty: "It's not that I don't let you go, eldest brother, I also want to go, but have you forgotten the purpose of our trip?

Qin Ping said: "Of course I am avenging the third brother!"

Feng Yu said, "What if the third brother wasn't among those corpses?"

Qin Ping: "Then I'll come back again and go to Wanling Mountain to save the third brother!"

Feng Yu: "Don't let go! Big brother, do you still remember the task we set at the beginning, if you go to find the third brother, how much time will we delay! We can't get to the place on time this time, if the third brother is not there, if he is still alive, if he is in the White Crane Gang, such a waste of time will only increase the danger to the third brother's life!"

Qin Ping roared angrily, it was really fierce, and he forcibly broke away from Feng Yu, who took a few steps back before stabilizing his body.

Feng Yu shouted sadly, "Big brother!"

Qin Ping gasped, his broad chest fell together, and then said coldly: "I know." ”

"Big brother. ”

Qin Ping said: "Everyone, I was too reckless. Qin Ping apologizes to all of you!"

Yi Wanxuan said: "Qin Yingying loves his brother very much, how can I not know? Don't blame yourself anymore!"

Qin Ping waved his arm and wiped away his tears.

Qi Ying'er looked at him, Qin Ping cried like a child, a child who had lost a loved one, just like he was kneeling beside his grandfather at that time.

Yi Wanxuan said: "Everyone, it's dark at night, why don't we find a place to sit down and rest for a while?"

The others had no objection, and they found a place where trees were scarce, and tied ten horses to a tree for four weeks.

Everyone sat around a fire, and the March night was still a little cold, but now they all felt a little warmer.

Ling Quanfei looked at Lian Xiangyu lying beside him, she was too frightened and still didn't wake up, he took off the white robe on his body and covered her, letting her head rest lightly on his lap. Ling Quanfei's eyes reflected the firelight, and there seemed to be endless words in his eyes, looking at Lian Xiangyu gently. And Lian Xiangyu sometimes whispered, and sometimes slept as sweetly as a child.

Yi Wanxuan sighed deeply, and added another dry firewood to the fire, and the fire burned the dry firewood "crackling".

Tonight, there was very little word from the crowd.

Qi Ying'er looked at the sky through the gaps in the branches and leaves. The stars in the sky are exceptionally bright and the sky is clean. From time to time, a few black shadows flapped their wings and flew past.

Liang Laosan was lying on the ground, squinting, as if he was asleep. Jiang Chuanhai stared at his sword, as if only talking to this sword now would calm him down.

Qi Ying'er looked at the others, empty in Zazen, Hong Hanming was also looking at the sky, and Qin Ping and Feng Yu looked at the fire. Qin Ping should still be very sad in his heart, because his eyes were always shining with tears.

No one ever said a word.

Qi Ying'er wanted to open her mouth to break the silence, but she didn't know what to say. At this time, the sound of the flute sounded.

The sound of the flute was very close, and it was Ling Quanfei playing the flute. The flute sounds melodious, like a swallow flying in the rain. In the drizzle, the swallow was supposed to fly low, but this swallow flew high. It enjoyed the damp sky and let the rain wet itself. What it wants is freedom, not bound by anything, no matter the wind or rain, it has to fly, and it has to prove that this is a world of its own.

The sound of the flute continued to flow from between Ling Quanfei's slender fingers, a kind of loneliness, a kind of persistence, a kind of warmth, the sound of the flute grabbed everyone's minds, making them forget themselves for the time being, and their minds turned into a swallow flying in this deep night sky.

The sound of the flute became deeper and deeper, and the swallow was oppressed like never before, and it flew lower and lower, and it was about to be unable to withstand the pressure of the sky. Suddenly, the flute turned, and the swallow tore a hole in the sky, not big, but enough for the swallow to pass through. It shattered the prison of heaven and transcended the sky. Fade away and disappear into the sky......

The flute ended. But everyone is still unsatisfied.

"That's nice. "The sweet voice is pitiful.

She looked up at Ling Quanfei stupidly, and Ling Quanfei smiled and said, "You're awake." ”

After hearing the sound of the flute, everyone's minds were calm.

Ling Quanfei said: "The little skill is indecent, which makes you laugh. ”

Jiang Chuanhai said: "Where, I only know that Ling Gongzi's light skills are unique in the world, but I didn't expect that this flute kung fu also has deep attainments!"

Yi Wanxuan said with a smile: "Haha, I didn't expect the third brother to be able to play the flute! ”

Ling Quanfei smiled: "This one, it's hers." ”

Lian Xiangyu was still pillowed on Ling Quanfei's legs, smiling happily.

Feng Yu said: "No wonder, the beautiful jade flute, the perfect match in the world!"

Kong smiled and said, "Master Ling, don't come back to a song." ”

"Yes, third brother, we haven't heard of it yet. Yi Wanxuan said.

Ling Quanfei said: "I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, I will only have this song, called "Swift", which was taught to me by my friend Mr. Lu." If I were to blow something else, it wouldn't. ”

Hong Hanming said: "Mr. Lu, isn't it Lu Zixuan, who is called 'Mengjianglang' by the people in the rivers and lakes?"

Ling Quanfei said: "It's him, has Young Master Hong seen Brother Lu?"

"I see, on my mother's 40th birthday in the past, Mr. Lu was a guest at the gang and composed a song for my mother. At that time, I loved it very much, so I asked Mr. Lu to teach me, but I had no talent for music, and I couldn't learn it because Mr. Lu taught me so much. ”

At this time, Lian Xiangyu sat up and said, "Mr. Lu, what's the big deal, come, tell me what kind of song it is, and see if I can play it." ”

Hong Hanming said: "The title of that piece is "Crossing the River", but this piece has not been circulated, how can the poor girl blow it?"

Lian Xiangyu smiled: "If you don't believe it, I'm going to blow it to you." Take it. ”

Ling Quanfei handed the flute to Lian Xiangyu. Lian Xiangyu gently pressed the flute close to her lips, and there was still Ling Quanfei's temperature on the flute, which made her blush, like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

Qi Ying'er looked at him and seemed to see Sun Qiao'er. He knew that Sun Qiao'er couldn't play the flute, but she was so perfect, for some reason, he felt a little heartache when he thought of her, and his heart hurt more and more when he missed her.

Everyone calmed down and prepared to enjoy the beautiful sound of the flute. Even Liang Laosan opened his eyes and pricked up his ears to listen to the flute of Lian Xiangyu.

But the first thing he heard was not the sound of a flute, but the sound of something breaking through the air.

Liang Laosan got up abruptly and said, "Be careful!" Two stones flew out like arrows.

The crowd reacted immediately, getting up and preparing for the danger in the dark!
