In the mysterious and deep cave**, only two lonely torches are swaying in the wind, and the light of these two candles does not bring much light to the cave, but highlights the gloom and darkness here. The stalactites hanging from the roof of the cave are jagged and hideous, as if they are the withered fingertips of a pair of centenarians poking down from the top of their heads.

In the stone altar in the depths of the cave, there is a pure white stone chair carved with a huge cobra head carved on the back, and there is a person sitting on it, I saw that the person is in his forties, his eyes are empty, his expression is wooden, in this dim cave if you don't look carefully, you will really mistake it for a lifelike stone statue.

At the foot of the stone altar were two people kneeling, their foreheads pressed to the ground, and they did not dare to look directly at the people on the seats.

This is the main altar of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, and the person sitting on the throne is the current sect leader Bai Qianzhang, who only listened to him: "You can't do such a small thing, and you still have the face to come back to see this sect leader?" His words were full of reproach, but his tone was completely angry.

The next person is none other than Zeng Chan and Xiao Yulang, who designed to poison Danfeng Tower, they bowed to the end again, Zeng Chan defended: "Originally, everything was under control, but I didn't expect to kill a master of the Shaoyang Sect Hongzi generation, this person's cultivation is unfathomable, and my two subordinates were unfortunately poisoned by him - if it weren't for his nosy, Danfeng Lou would probably be in the bag of my Ten Thousand Poison Sect at this time." He originally wanted to hurt Duan Xiyun as a stinky boy, but he was worried that the sect leader would feel that he couldn't even deal with a young man, and he would be even more angry, so he could only endure the humiliation and say that Duan Xiyun was a master of the Shaoyang faction.

"What kind of characters are Xiao Qiang and Du Xuantong, this time they missed, and the idea of wanting to fight Danfenglou again in the future may be difficult to compare to the sky. Bai Qianzhang, a person like a wood carving, said words that were as plain and tasteless as boiling water.

But this bland and boring sentence frightened Zeng Chan to the ground, and he hurriedly bowed to the ground again, begging: "My subordinates are not doing their best, and I hope that the sect leader will be gracious and give my subordinates a chance to atone for their crimes." ”

And Xiao Yulang touched the distinct sword marks on his face that were cut by the Qingling Sword, his heart was full of resentment towards Duan Xiyun, he couldn't wait to give him flesh, and said through gritted teeth: "Ask the sect master to give us another chance, this time will definitely not let you down again." If that man dares to come back and do bad things to me, he will die without a place to bury. ”

"Hmph, do you think that your little grasshopper can shake the towering tree of the Shaoyang Sect, you really can't help yourself. The order was given to stop all external expansion immediately. Bai Qianzhang knew that Xiao Yulang was desperate, and he instructed, "No one is allowed to act rashly without the order of the sect master, and those who violate the canon rules will be dealt with." ”

"Obey the Lord's commandment. ”

Zeng Chan and Xiao Yulang didn't dare to speculate on the sect leader's thoughts, although they were unwilling, they could only swallow this bad breath temporarily.

"As for your mistakes this time, let's write them down for the time being, and how you deal with them depends on your future performance. ”

Bai Qianzhang's tepid words made Zeng and Xiao feel like a spring breeze, and they both bowed to the ground, "The Holy Grace of the Sect Leader is vast, and his subordinates always keep it in mind, and they will definitely repay the Sect Leader for his grace in the future." ”

"Stand down. ”

Zeng and Xiao didn't dare to turn their backs to the sect leader, and they didn't dare to turn around until they retreated to the door.

After the two left, only Bai Qianzhang was left alone in the spacious cave and sat quietly, as if entering a state of stone carving, and the cave returned to its original silence. At this time, two figures stepped out of the darkness behind Bai Qianzhang, neither of them showed their true faces, on the right was a person wearing a heavy mask of gold and copper, and the one on the left was also wearing a hideous beast head mask, and this mask was exactly the same as the mask worn by the beast-faced man who controlled the zombies to slaughter Yangjiabao in Lechang many years ago, just because they were alone.

"Could it be that the actions of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect have been detected by the nosy Shaoyang Sect?" a strange voice came from inside the beast's head mask, which felt particularly harsh to hear in the silence of the cave.

The two holes in the two holes on the copper-faced man's mask on the right are as empty as Bai Qianzhang, as if they were a puppet with a bare body.

"Damn my God, you still can't be idle, and you're going to start fighting against me as always?" the beast-faced man groaned and suddenly fell silent, as if the heavens and the earth had responded to his deep thoughts, and they all became silent.

"Among the three sects and the ninth floor, there is already one sect and the sixth floor are under the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, and the great cause has just seen an improvement, if the Shaoyang faction intervenes at this time and obstructs it at any time, it will be useless at any time, and it is better to temporarily endure and avoid its edge in this bone joint. The deep eyes behind the beast-faced man's mask were flushed with blood, "After the foundation of the ninth floor of the three sects is firmly established, it will naturally make your Shaoyang Palace look good." ”

The beast-faced man continued to talk to himself, knowing that neither of the two around him would discuss a countermeasure with him.

It turned out that the leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect was plotted by the beast-faced man three years ago, and was used by the beast-faced man to use the puppet technique, and now he is just a puppet at the mercy of others, no wonder in recent years, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect Leader Bai Qianzhang's temperament has changed greatly, and he has focused on annexing the ninth floor of the three sects, it turns out that all this is controlled by the beast-faced man behind his back, what is he plotting, I'm afraid only he knows, but it is certain that there will be absolutely no good thing.

It seems that it will be difficult for the rivers and lakes to be calm again! Or maybe the rivers and lakes have never been calm, and it is just the icing on the cake for the original turmoil......

In the previous summary, it was mentioned that Duan Xiyun and Guan Yueyao embarked on a search journey together under the fate of fate, and they followed the instructions signed by Du Xuantong to live in the direction of Chang'an, and now they have come to the Ankang realm.

The glow of the sky was combined into a line by the night above and below, and the night had fallen, and two figures with the size of their fingertips ran between the sky, and the afterglow of the sunset outlined the graceful lines of their mounts, and it was not difficult to see that these were two extraordinary fast horses, but from their procrastinating pace, it could be seen that the traveler was tired and tired.

Immediately, the passengers vaguely revealed two handsome and familiar faces under the wrapping of the cloak, they were not others but Duan Xiyun and Guan Yueyao, who were traveling together, and now they had changed into travel clothes, and this journey had been running for more than two hours, and there was still endless darkness ahead.

"It's really unfortunate that I haven't seen anyone after walking for a few hours, if it's late today, do you want to sleep in the wilderness tonight?" the dry lips of the hungry and tired Duan Xiyun opened and closed stickily.

["With beauty as a companion, let alone in the wilderness, even if it is a sword mountain and a sea of fire, it is a beautiful thing. Ziyang's teasing voice sounded in his ears again. ]

["You thirstless ghost naturally doesn't know what we big living people feel, alas! I wish it was myself who had no soul at this moment."] Duan Xiyun also responded in a sarcastic tone that he was accustomed to. ]

["Conscience is a dog's lungs."] Ziyang saw that Duan Xiyun didn't pay attention to Guan Yueyao along the way, and his attitude was very cold, and suddenly reminded him of the sad past in his heart, and said with emotion: "Don't lose your time, cherish your youth, one day I look back and I'm afraid that you will regret not being at the beginning." ”]

"I only know how to go north, and I don't know when it will end?" Duan Xiyun naturally didn't take Ziyang's intriguing words to heart without waves, and just laughed it off.

"The road is long, and I will continue to seek it. The pretty face of Guan Yueyao, who was side by side, under the cloak of white jade, was also plated with a faint layer of wind and frost at this time.

Duan Xiyun understood the meaning of Guan Yueyao's words, and when he saw a woman's family, he was indifferent, and his dignified manly husband sighed here again It was too unseemly, so he could only swallow the unfortunate words that spit out into his mouth back into his stomach.

The two returned to their original silence and continued to run towards the unknown ahead, only the remaining purple sun's heartfelt singing surrounded their ears: the sunset is so thin in the western mountains, the red scales are rusty, the worries are cold in the pot, and the grass is beautiful and empty......

Soon after, it was completely dark, but fortunately, when I raised my eyes, I saw a faint fluorescence in the darkness not far away, and this faint bright light looked so vigorous in the darkness, bringing a ray of warmth to the hearts of the wanderers.

"There is a family in front of you, and there is really no endless road. ”

Duan Xiyun was ecstatic, and hurriedly rushed forward, seeing that it was a simple house, he adjusted the intensity to very small, and patted the firewood, just because he saw that the door was dilapidated and sparse, and he was afraid of overexerting force to slap it into a pile of firewood.

Two gray-haired old men of Long Zhong walked out of the door inside, and they came out hand in hand, carrying a faint light to spy on the situation outside, obviously surprised by Duan Xiyun, an unpresumptuous rare guest.

"The old people don't have to panic, we are just passing travelers, I hope to make it convenient for us to stay here overnight, grateful. Duan Xiyun immediately politely explained his intentions.

The two elders saw that the men and women in front of them were extraordinary in the dim light, and their hearts relaxed, and they walked out enthusiastically to open the door, "I see, please come to the house." ”

When they entered the house, the old man warmly served tea, and the old woman knew that the two must not have eaten yet, so she went to the kitchen to get some food to entertain the guests.

The old man's deep eyes looked at the two of them carefully, and asked: "Although the old man has shallow knowledge, the two of them can be seen at a glance that they are the sons and daughters of a big family, could it be that they secretly ran out without hiding from their families?"

"I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding, I don't have the kind of relationship with him as you think, we are just friends who travel together. From the other party's smiling expression, Guan Yueyao guessed that he must have mistakenly thought that he and Duan Xiyun were a pair of lovers who eloped away from their families, so she was so ashamed that her face flushed, and she explained in a daze.

"People who look like girls and fairies, and characters like non-sons in the world can't match, so the old man's eyes are clumsy and misunderstood, and I hope the girl will bear with me. The old man apologized in his mouth, in fact, he didn't believe that the two were simple friends at all, but he knew that the other party's daughter was thin-skinned, so he deliberately catered to it.

["Interesting and interesting, this little old man's imagination is really good, and he actually regarded you and Miss Yue'er as the amorous scholar and Miss Fang Er in Hanping County. Ziyang's green index fingers flew together and looked like pairs in front of Duan Xiyun. ]
