Chapter 1

Mount Tai is known as the Honor of the Five Mountains, located in Tai'an City, Shandong Province. www.biquge.info Since ancient times, countless emperors have worshiped and worshiped the heavens in Mount Tai. Li Si, the famous minister of the Qin Dynasty, said in the "Exhortation Order": "Mount Tai does not allow an inch of land, so it can become big; It is precisely because of this sentence that the Qin Emperor was impressed, and countless people of insight worked for him, helped him complete the great cause of reunification, achieved the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and became the first emperor of China.

In five days, it will be the 100th birthday of Taishan's Taishang patriarch Yu Xuzi. Yuxuzi's predecessors are highly respected and approachable. When he was young, he was even more benevolent, helpful, anxious for justice and righteousness, and had friends all over the world. Naturally, his 100th birthday is also a major event in the martial arts. And on the day of the birthday, it is also the day when the daughter of the head of the Taishan faction leaves the cabinet, which can be described as double happiness. Therefore, these days, the foot of Mount Tai is particularly lively.

Anfu Inn is located at the foot of Mount Tai and is the last supply place before climbing Mount Tai.

The big day is coming, and the inn is naturally bustling with activity right now. One by one, the heroes from all over the world, full of guests, here to push the cup and change the lamp, talk loudly. In the face of such a prosperous scene, the innkeeper Wang Laohan is full of money and is overjoyed, and he does not have to worry about "disagreeing with each other and drawing a knife to each other". Because this time is different from the past, no one dares to collide and clash at this time and place, unless that person is long-lived.

Even so, Wang Laohan still looked at the young strong man sitting at the door from time to time.

Maybe because of his age, his memory is not as good as before, Wang Laohan always feels that this young man is familiar, but he always can't remember who this person is.

He occupied a table by himself, and a swarthy back knife with no luster was sitting on it. Thick-backed knives are made of unknown materials and are very rare. Even if it was far away, it made Wang Laohan feel faintly uncomfortable, and if he thought about it carefully, maybe there was countless blood on that knife, so it could make people feel that the blade should be cold without temperature.

The young man's face is resolute, angular, not handsome, but it looks very vicissitudes, and it seems that he has experienced a lot of hardships. Those emotionless eyes were looking intently at the tea in the cup, as if the surrounding noise could not make him look sideways at all. As if sensing Wang Laohan's voyeurism, those eyes shot out, and as soon as they came into contact, Wang Laohan couldn't help but quickly lowered his head - those eyes were terrible!

His eyes seemed to be slightly red, like a ghost, although Wang Laohan had never seen a ghost. The ruthless, cold and dry eyes looked extremely uncomfortable, and I don't know how long these eyes had not been warmed by tears of joy and sorrow. If you don't guess wrong, maybe killing people will definitely not have any psychological burden on young people.

Just as he was thinking, Wang Laohan sensed that the man stood up and walked towards him.

This is not surprising, at the foot of Mount Tai, the children and yellow beards all have a certain amount of cultivation, some high and some low. Wang Laohan has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his body is tough and his senses are keen.

Somehow, Wang Laohan didn't dare to look at him, so he could only pull the abacus to hide the inexplicable fear in his heart. Until there was a "snap", the man put the silver two on the account table, and said without any emotion: "It seems that Daddy has long forgotten about Zhang Yan!"

Zhang Remnant?

Wang Laohan suddenly woke up as if he had been enlightened, and when he looked up, the person who claimed to be Zhang Chuan had already gone away, and the thick-backed knife behind him was particularly eye-catching.

The Wuyue Sword Sect should have been united in the same qi and branches, advancing and retreating together.

However, three years ago, Zhang Ran of the Taishan faction and Ling Ran of the Huashan faction unexpectedly met in Luoyang, and they hit it off at first sight and married Jin Lan. coincided with the flower thief of the Demon Gate who committed a crime in Luoyang, and the two of them were young and frivolous, so they discussed to eliminate harm for the people. And when they really faced the wind and clouds, the two of them knew how much they didn't know how thick the sky was. Thinking that the wind and clouds are known as the "Demon Gate Shuangjie", countless celebrities hate the sword, how can these two people be opponents!

The two besieged the wind and clouds without making two moves, and Ling Ran was captured. Zhang Yan was cowardly, and even ignored the order and fled for his life. And although Ling Ran was not killed on the spot, his martial arts were abolished by the wind. Ling Ran was physically and mentally devastated, and after returning to Huashan, he committed suicide by jumping off a cliff. The deceased is the greatest, and what Zhang Yan did naturally caused an uproar -- if they met strangers and did not save them, they might not be so indignant. But Zhang Zanming and Ling Ran married Jin Lan and agreed to live and die together, but at the end of the day, they were treacherous, greedy for life and afraid of death, which is really despicable!

In the end, Zhang was unable to eat the evil fruits, and was also abolished martial arts, and was expelled from the mountain gate, and was not allowed to set foot on Mount Tai for half a step in his eternal life.

Since then, Mr. Wang has not seen Mr. Zhang again.

Zhang Remnant, who walked out of the Anfu Inn, took a small road to avoid the crowd. The sky was sprinkled with snowflakes, and although there was a hint of coldness on the face, it made people feel very sober. Although it is a small road, there are still many people walking here. Zhang Zhan didn't mean to deal with people, but fortunately, the people he met on the road also meant the same thing.

To step on familiar land and to say that there is no emotion is absolutely deceitful. I have lived here for 18 years, and the surrounding trees and flowers have all had remnant footprints. Now the tall pine trees are even more lush, and all the traces left by themselves have long since disappeared with their departure. The so-called hometown cowardice, although things are not people, people go to empty buildings, but there is still a little loneliness, irresistibly hit Zhang Yan's heart, lingering.

However, Zhang Yan felt more fresh, because this kind of emotion that only "people" can have has not been available for a long time.

Walking on thick snow with a creaky sound. The so-called cicada noise forest is more quiet, the birdsong mountain is more secluded, and the footsteps that fill the ears inevitably make people feel more lonely. After walking for two hours, Zhang Yan's heart moved, and then a pair of warm eyes fell on him. These eyes were very magical, and Zhang Yan, who was almost frozen, felt that the chill on his body had been swept away in an instant, and he was comfortable. When I looked around, I saw a little junior brother wearing a Taoist robe.

The little junior brother Xu Kai has a cute baby face, and a faint smile hangs on the corner of his mouth. When he saw Zhang Remnant, a trace of enthusiasm flashed in his eyes, but in an instant, he became pure and leisurely, without desire or desire. So much so that the enthusiasm even makes people suspicious of the illusion.

Unlike Zhang's dry eyes, these are extremely comfortable eyes.

When Zhang Zhan saw Xu Kai, his pace did not pause or change at all, his whole body did not have a trace of stalemate, and his whole mind did not have a trace of turbulence, as if his eyes were still as empty as just now. It wasn't until he walked in front of Xu Kai that Zhang Chuan said in surprise: "Could it be that the little junior brother is waiting for me here on purpose?"

Xu Kai nodded and said with a smile: "I was meditating just now, and I suddenly felt impetuous, so I couldn't help but want to walk around." Somehow, the ghost sent a god here. And the first time Senior Brother saw me, it happened to be the last step I took to stand here. ”

Zhang Yan was secretly horrified in his heart: the little junior brother's "Dao Heart" became more and more refined, but it was replaced by joy, because he was happy for him from the bottom of his heart. So he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and then seemed to remember something, and reminded: "When you go up the mountain, don't call me Fifth Senior Brother." Xu Kai smiled slightly, seemed to understand in his heart, and followed Zhang Yan's footsteps, and said as he walked: "After the master respects me and sees General Zhang, please ask General Zhang to move to Aolai Peak first." ”

Whether it is "Fifth Senior Brother" or "General Zhang", what Xu Kai said is extraordinarily natural. If you think about it, a salutation is just a code name for a person. Not being in shape, not being stuck in things, is exactly the freedom of a cultivator.

The character of the little junior brother Xu Kai was originally pure and inactive, and cultivation was even more willing for him. I haven't seen him for three years, and his complexion is as clear as jade, which can be described as earth-shaking changes compared to the dark and rough in his impression. And the whole person is floating out of the dust, and the empty valley is smart, like an immortal. With Zhang Yan's current cultivation and eyesight, he can no longer see what realm Xu Kai is in.

Aolaifeng is the place where Zhang Remnant has lived since he was a child, and the master in Xu Kai's mouth is also Zhang Remnant's mentor Tailaizi, and he is also the person who abolished Zhang Remnant's martial arts.

Zhang Yan asked, "Do you know why Tailaizi's predecessors called me back to the mountain?"

Xu Kai nodded: "First, Elder Yuxuzi will celebrate his 100th birthday, and second, the little junior sister will come out of the pavilion." Zhang Yan couldn't help but sigh and said: "This is pure nonsense! These trivial things will not let me climb the mountain again." ”

As he spoke, he had already walked into the gate of the Taishan faction, and he had never seen the Taoist boy Zhang Zhan, thinking that it should be the blood freshly injected into the Taishan faction. After all, his departure is like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, although there are ripples, but it will eventually disperse. In fact, if you really face yourself, it is not difficult to find that maybe you are far less important than you think. No matter whether you go or stay, just like the white clouds that are eventually blown away by the breeze, you cannot have any impact on this world. When Zhang Chuan realized this, his heart was absolutely uncomfortable, but this is the truth, a helpless fact.

Xu Kai replied at this time: "The specific matters will be explained in detail to General Zhang." General Zhang was careful, but there was an oncoming trouble to solve. ”

At this time, Zhang Zan's eyes also sensed that a pair of cold and murderous eyes were staring at him, Zhang Zan's eyes turned to look, due to the lack of internal strength, he only knew that she was a graceful woman from a distance. Zhang Yan couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Who is this? It's as if I killed her own husband!"

Xu Kai nodded: "Although Boren was not killed by General Zhang, he died because of General Zhang." She is Ling Ran's childhood sweetheart, the wife who has not yet passed the door, named Dai Lan. The swordsmanship is quite good, and it does have the strength to kill General Zhang. In recent years, Dai Lan has been looking around about General Zhang's whereabouts, if it weren't for the news that General Zhang has been staying in the military camp in recent years, Taishan is tight-lipped up and down, I am afraid that she would have been touched to find bad luck. ”

Zhang Yan was noncommittal, and heheed: "I didn't pass the door! Hey! I didn't pass the door, so I wouldn't look at me like this! I don't know, I thought I killed her father!"

Xu Kai said again: "She, like Ling Ran, is an orphan. ”

Zhang Yan turned his head and argued: "This matter has nothing to do with Lao Tzu!"
