In a valley somewhere in the north of Xiangyang City, the bamboo sea is layered on top of each other, and the strong wind blows, like wheat waves.

There are four families living in the valley, Xiao Cuo's family of three, his mother Xiao Rong, his uncle Xiao Daoqian and Gan Huai's predecessors. They live in seclusion and live a life of no quarrel with the world. The bamboo houses of the four families are next to each other, and the chickens and dogs smell each other. In the depths of the valley stood three tombs, also next to each other, with candles blaring.

On this day, Xiao Daoqian accompanied his sister Xiao Rong out of the valley and went to the nearby market to buy some daily necessities. Gan Huai, as usual, carried a green bamboo pole to the grave of his old friend. Xiao Cuo carried a hoe and went to work in the newly opened land, preparing to plant some new vegetables and fruits. Bai Fang coaxed her daughter alone, thinking that her daughter slept too much last night, and she kept her eyes open all day today, humming "songs" from time to time.

Xiao Cuo and Bai Fang's daughter is called Xiao Fang, who has just turned one year old.

Bai Fang coaxed her daughter, with a happy smile on her face. Suddenly, I felt someone approaching nearby. Bai Fang instinctively flashed into the house, pulled out the sword hanging on the wall, and held his breath and pressed against the wall in the room, observing the visitors.

I saw six women carefully stepping in broken steps and coming to the bamboo house.

The woman at the head said, "It stands to reason that the master of the door should be right." Uncle Shi should live in seclusion here, why isn't there one?"

Another woman said, "Maybe Uncle Shi went outside, why don't we come back later." ”

When the six women were going to stay and discuss, they suddenly heard a cry from inside the house, and they all stared at the house. Bai Fang hugged her daughter and walked out calmly with a sword.

"Who are you looking for?" asked Bai Fang.

"The junior Lian Hongyun took five junior sisters to meet his uncle. As he spoke, the six women were half-kneeling and each took out a jade plaque from his bosom.

Bai Fang saw that it was indeed the waist card of the disciple of the fifth senior sister. But people are unpredictable and cannot be easily believed. Bai Fang still stood where she was, motioning for them all to get up.

"Why did you come to me?" asked Bai Fang.

"The junior master hopes that you can return to the Holy Sect, and you don't care about the past. Lian Hongyun replied.

"What if I don't go back?" asked Bai Fang.

"Master said that if the master refuses to go back, there is no need to force it. You can only ...... "practice the Red Cloud Dao."

"What can I do?" Bai Fang's eyes lit up, and he instinctively clenched the sword in his hand.

"I can only offend!" After Lian Hongyun finished speaking, the sword was unsheathed and the other five women besieged him.

Bai Fang was about to fight back, only to hear a "Haoyang Foeh". Several sword qi blew towards the six women like a blast of wind, instantly repelling them.

The six of them stabilized their bodies and looked towards the source of the sword qi, only to see a young man, carrying a hoe, staring at them.

"You dare to attack my wife and daughter while I am away, and see that I will not kill you. Xiao Cuo said, about to step forward and kill.

Bai Fang hurriedly stopped: "For the sake of them being my junior sister's disciples, let them go." ”

Xiao Cuo stood tall and shouted, "You don't want to go, do you have to wait for me to do it?" ”

The six of them glanced at each other, looked at each other, and knew that they were not Xiao Cuo's opponent with the ability of this move alone, so they turned around and withdrew from the valley.

Xiao Cuo hurriedly stepped forward and said with concern: "They didn't treat you well, did they?"

"No, they came just as they were about to do it. Bai Fang replied.

Xiao Cuo took a closer look and was indeed fine, and helped Bai Fang and her daughter into the bamboo house.

"I really didn't expect that after calming down for a while, I still let Ji Xiaofeng find here. After listening to Bai Fang's narration, Xiao Cao felt infinite emotion.

Bai Fang coaxed her daughter and said, "I don't think so, they are not junior sister's disciples at all, but someone else pretending to be." The intention is also very suspicious, maybe it is to sow discord between me and my junior sisters, or to test us, there is something else. ”

"Oh, where did you see that?" asked Xiao Cuo.

"If the person who came was really a disciple of Senior Sister, he would never take the liberty of making a move with me. Because my martial arts are among the senior sisters and brothers, only the sixth junior sister. The fifth senior sister won't know about this matter, and if she really wants to take me away, she won't send these second-rate goods. Bai Fang said.

"Then why didn't you expose them and then let them all go?" Xiao Cuo said in surprise.

Bai Fang explained: "First, they are just small minions, and killing them will not help, it will only dirty our place. Second, I wanted to pretend to be a trick to see if I could lead to their masterminds. Third, letting them go back alive is also a warning to the people behind the scenes, and we are not easy to mess with. ”

In the mountain villa fifteen miles outside the valley, Lian Hongyun and the others all knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads. In front of the six of them, there was a woman standing with her back to them.

"She's really not suspicious of you?" the woman asked.

"It shouldn't be, she also advised Xiao Cuo, for the sake of us being the disciples of her fifth senior sister, don't kill us. "Practice the Red Cloud Dao.

After a while, the woman said, "Go down first, and something will call you." ”

As soon as Lian Hongyun and the others left, Xiaoyue pushed Meng Yue out from behind the screen.

"Look, did Bai Fang notice it?" asked Xia Yudie.

"I'm afraid to plan for the worst, Pi Li has a very good set of disciples, and his disciples are good at what they are good at, among which Bai Fang is the most powerful is strategy. Meng Yue replied cautiously.

Xia Yudie said helplessly: "Then I had to give up the original plan, implement another set of plans, and go all out to target Lu Yao." I don't believe that the Hanshan Sword Sect has suffered, and Xiao Cuo will not appear. ”

In the backyard of the Hanshan Sword Sect, Lu Yao was meditating cross-legged in the room, guiding qi to return to the Yuan and comprehend the new realm of martial arts.

"People peeping outside the door, why don't you show up to meet each other?" Lu Yao slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, the door opened, and Xiaoyue pushed Meng Yue in.

"Are you?" Lu Yao looked at Meng Yue and felt that he was familiar.

"I am Meng Yue, the most uncompetitive person in the Cold Mountain Sword Sect. Meng Yue introduced himself calmly.

After hearing this, Lu Yao smiled indifferently and said, "Uncle Meng's ambition and pride in the past, have you forgotten it as time goes by?"

"I didn't forget, but I didn't have a chance to make it happen. Meng Yue said calmly.

"Why did Uncle Shi come here?" Lu Yao asked.

"I just want my niece to hand over what Yu Boyu took away, and I hope my niece will not hesitate. Meng Yue said.

A look of pain flashed in Lu Yao's eyes, and he refused: "It's impossible, uncle, please go back." ”

Meng Yue's eyes were cold, with a touch of warmth in the cold, and finally turned into ruthlessness. A soft whip out of the sleeve, like a snake out of the hole fast in the blink of an eye. Lu Yao secretly praised in his heart, and with a wave of dust in his hand, he hit the soft whip, and the whip immediately fell to the ground and smashed the floor.

Meng Yue did not relent, dancing with a whip, constantly attacking from three sides. Lu Yao guarded the door, dusting and guarding. The two were in a small room, fighting in full swing, and it was difficult to separate.

"Autumn Water Cold, Sound Broken Zigui" Lu Yao was afraid that Meng Yue would have other arrangements, and the palm condensed the mighty qi, and the autumn water cold magic reappeared. Seeing this, Meng Yue was secretly shocked in his heart. Slammed the arm of the chair, and the whole person floated into the air. Push with both palms, and meet each other with extreme moves. The smoke and dust cleared, and Meng Yue and Xiaoyue were gone.

Lu Yao said in his heart: "Uncle Yu has left a last word, and he must not let the king of Southern Xinjiang get this thing." At the beginning, I was looking for Uncle Yu's skin, but it was definitely not for this thing. It can be inferred from this that Meng Shibo could not be a person from the Bird Immortal Gate, but a person from the king of Southern Xinjiang. Thinking of this, Lu Yao couldn't help but worry about whether he had the ability to protect that thing.

In the Hanshan Palace, Lu Yao told Qi Lianping and Gao Shu everything about last night.

"I didn't expect Uncle Meng to come, and I don't know who else will come. Qi Lianping couldn't help but worry.

Lu Yao said: "I can see that Master Meng has not done his best, if he really does his best, I may not be his opponent." However, I had kept it in a proper place. ”

"The boss has always refused to say what it is, can you tell us today?" Gao Shu said.

"I don't want to tell the two senior brothers, I really don't know that this is the way to save my life. Once you know, I'm afraid that they will be unfavorable to the two of you. Lu Yao said.

Qi Lianping and Gao Shu glanced at each other, and then didn't ask any further.

In the valley, Bai Fang thought about taking out the futon to dry in the sun. handed over the child to Xiao Cuo, and asked a big man where he would take the child. It was Xiao Rong who heard the child's cry and came out to take the child away from Xiao Cuo's hand. Xiao Cuo was afraid that Bai Fang would scold him, so he slipped into the house to watch Xiao Daoqian and Gan Huai play chess.

Suddenly, Bai Fang's exclamation was heard, and the three of them hurriedly went out to take a look, only to see a person standing not far away, dressed in plain clothes, holding a dustbrush, looking like a pure cultivator.

"Lu Yao!" Xiao Cuo's heart moved, and he came to Bai Fang's side.

"Senior Brother Xiao, don't come unharmed. Lu Yao said with a smile.

"I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and I don't know why I came here suddenly. Xiao Cuo asked.

"Senior brother, can you take a step to speak? Lu Yao glanced at Bai Fang next to Xiao Cuo.

Xiao Cuo also glanced at Bai Fang, Bai Fang nodded, and then followed Lu Yao.

Xiao Rong hugged her granddaughter to Bai Fang's side and asked, "Who is she?"

"She is the head of the Hanshan Sword Sect and the younger sister of Xianggong. Bai Fang replied simply.

In the sea of bamboo, Xiao Cuo and Lu Yao were a few steps apart, but they seemed to be at the end of the world. Xiao Cuo had no distracting thoughts, and Lu Yaoqing repaired the way.

"Senior brother, I came to you this time for a big deal. Lu Yao said calmly, "Senior brother, I still remember Uncle Yu." ”

"I still remember that in order to bring back Uncle Yu and the head of the house, Pi Lizhi fought with the head of the house, and all kinds of changes later arose. Xiao Cuo recalled the past with emotion.

"Uncle Yu not only had a relationship with Pi Lizhi, but he also brought back one thing. This kind of thing has always been in the hands of Master Li, and Master Li is suspicious that the thing is in the forbidden land. Recently, Master Meng suddenly came back, also for such a thing. Lu Yao said.

"I can't think of this thing, what is it?" Xiao Cuo didn't know anything about it.

Lu Yao said: "It's a treasure map, have you heard that the Bohai Kingdom once left a batch of treasures." There has always been a legend in the rivers and lakes that if you find the descendants of the Yuan family, you can find the treasure, but after reading the codex left by Uncle Yu, I realized that it was not the case at all. ”

"What the hell is going on? The more I listen, the more confused I become, isn't the treasure for posterity?" Xiao said wrongly.
