Chapter Twenty-Three: The Ancient Road

The bright moon sprinkled a thin glow, the earth was clothed in silver, the flowing water was humming a little song away, the birds sometimes soared by, and the beasts did not want to be silent, roaring three times, a silence and a lively atmosphere.

A tactful path appeared on a wasteland, it looked extremely simple, this trail is not wide enough for two people to move forward, but it is incomparably long, like a thousand miles of long snake zigzag inlaid on the grass, a pair of figures stepped on this path, the steps were light, the hands were holding the hands and interlocking their fingers, talking and laughing and walking.

The woman's figure is peerless, and the three thousand green silks gently blown by the breeze are flowing in the wind, and the slenderness of her figure can be seen from the lines of the swaying dress. The other person was a man, dressed in white, wearing a vest on his upper body, revealing his strong and powerful arms. The woman's style is peerless, and the man's peerless elegance is really a natural pair.

Looking closely, it was Ren Yu and Ren Xue.

"Ren Yu, how does this road look like it's being newly built!" Ren Xue's face was flushed, extremely happy, and the dimples had not disappeared from the beginning.

"The end of this road is an ancient land, where many people live, and every person born will build a stone on this road" Ren Yu took Ren Xue's jade hand as white as a lotus root, and said slowly.

"Hmm, why did they do this?" Ren Xue was puzzled, and her crystal cheeks showed a hint of question?

"Maybe it's for commemoration!" Ren Yu smiled, sadness flashed in his eyes, but he didn't find it for Ren Xue. Xiao Yan's words before came to mind: "The mountain behind the battle sect is a battlefield, the demon was born there, and he will die there, all they leave behind is an ancient road, every time a demon dies, a stone will be filled, representing that demon, will embark on this road and go to their ancestors, because at the end of the road is a stone monument commemorating the soldiers who died in battle" Obviously, Ren Yu deceived Ren Xue, he didn't want Ren Xue to know this kind of sad story.

"Oh, commemorate! Hehe, Ren Yu, are we going there!" Ren Xue held Ren Yu's arm and felt the warmth!

"Well, let's go see what they commemorate!" Ren Yu nodded, holding Ren Xue's hand tighter, making Ren Xue's face even more flushed.

Without the ravages of black gas, not only the moon but also a little spark, tens of millions of sparks inlaid with black clothes, hundreds of millions of bright lights mending clothes, this is the kind of scene! The sky is very beautiful.

As Ren Yu and the two walked, the ground scene changed, and the bright-looking stones were not so obvious, they looked a little blurry, as if they had been beaten by wind and rain, and some weeds had grown, and there were some cracks on the ground, like cobwebs, dark red, revealing a sense of vicissitudes. The further down you go, the more cracks there are, and in some places even the entire road, but they are still so hard that when you step on them, there will be no imaginary breaking sound, but a hard touch. There is not half a tree in the vast meadow, only an inch of grass, but when the wind blows, the grass will rise and fall like waves, and the softness contains vitality is also beautiful.

There is no better way to describe the current scene in silence, there are crickets singing in the grass, there are infinite stars and moons in the sky, and the end of the green grass is connected to the sky. And Ren Xue is accompanied by Ren Yu, although this feeling is bland, it makes Ren Xue feel happy, she feels that this is enough, and she walks quietly like this, there is no bloody battle, no fatal danger, no earth-shattering roar, no caution at all and no need to be cautious, some are on the quaint road, Ren Xue and Ren Yu who are filled with happiness.

Not far away, there was suddenly a little yellow light, looming on the grass, like a candle swaying in the wind, as if it would be extinguished at any time, which attracted Ren Yu's attention, how could there be people living in this desolate place?" "Ren Yu, look there, have you arrived at that village!" Ren Xue pointed to the pale yellow light, a little excited. "It should be!" Ren Yu smiled, but he was cautious in his heart, Xiao Yan didn't say that someone lived here.

Close, close, slowly approaching the lamp, only to find that this is a dwelling, on both sides of the dark yellow with black planks erected, and the roof is a good fit, it seems a little solemn and simple, the roof is a gray tile, some are broken, some are intact, look down along the tiles, it is a heavy gate, the gate is not completely closed, there is a trace of crack exposed, there is some black inside, sometimes there will be bright light shaking. It should be that the light is on, there are two pillars in front of the door, there is no beauty of carving dragon painting style on it, that is, there are a few ancient characters written, very ancient, it seems that the time left is incomparably long, the font is yellowed, and the handwriting is very deep, very deep. Star: bathed in blood, wielding a long sword, born in battle, dead still fighting, this battlefield can be regarded as preserved!

Ren Yu looked at this font and was shocked in his heart, at that moment an inexplicable feeling permeated his heart, a kind of sadness hit his soul, and a scene naturally appeared in his mind: the sky was red, the sun was covered by gunsmoke, the ground shouted and killed, a large group of people in Taoist robes or armor, all of them were erupting with blood, and the huge majesty was suffocating, which one was not a hegemon, it was such a group of people, their eyes were red, they all looked angry, but their faces were resolute, they were running, Flying and rushing forward, their one step made the earth crack, their palm made the void collapse, the hand bloomed with brilliant and colorful brilliance, the huge force set off the crack of the air, the horror was incomparable, all kinds of treasures broke out, on the other side, there was also a large group of people, the same with a monstrous murderous aura, the two crashed together, the heavens and the earth seemed to stop rotating, the amazing wave of air overturned all, and suddenly there was blood spraying the earth, the earth magma was shaken out, and the incarnation of the fire dragon spit out life, and the air collapsed in a large area, revealing a piece of black paint, where the biting wind blew violently, and the fire of life of the blowing people was extinguished, it was such a destruction, and countless living beings were charcoal, the two groups of people are still fighting, fighting in the black space, like meteors colliding. Countless roars erupted, blood splattered three feet, stained the sky red, and flooded the ground, "Why attack us!" A shocking roar broke out, this is a man with blood and qi exploding, the muscles of his whole body exploded, and every move will make the earth collapse, "There is no basis for strength!" The answer to him was a thin old man, who was not decent! But it was a finger that shattered the void, horror, horror! The picture broke here, and everything suddenly returned to its original state, only the ancient house in front of him.

"Battle, is this battle or destruction?" Ren Yu asked himself, the vibration of his heart was more turbulent than the sea, more surging than the volcano, he clearly felt that the scene just now made his forehead sweat, his body trembled, his soul was a little unstable, and he even had a feeling of kneeling. Ren Yu smiled, he would be so useless, just the picture in his head, he made himself tremble, he felt very weak, extremely weak "I am really small, compared to these people, I don't even have the qualifications to speak!" Because the demon is the soul of those peerless powerhouses after death, even if they are weak, they will not be killed by Ren Yu.

"There is a lot of sadness in this word!" Ren Xue's voice was very low, her face was opposite to the previous excitement, with some sadness, her comprehension was extremely high, looking at this word as if she knew something, Ren Yu could see those pictures, with Ren Xue's comprehension, it was even more so, and she also saw what Ren Yu couldn't see, "Ren Yu, all the people who live here are warriors!" Ren Xue grabbed Ren Yu's hand tighter, and stared straight at the words on the pillar! "What did you see?" Ren Yu was taken aback by Ren Xue's words, and hurriedly said, looking at Ren Xue's cheeks full of sadness, he knew about the devil, and he couldn't hide it!" A young man surrounded by black qi, with tears, carved this sentence with black qi tentacles, in front of him was an ethereal black void battlefield, there were many people, dead people!!" Ren Xue said with a sob, her eyes were moist, with her intelligence, she could understand the front and back at once.

"Ren Xue, I'm sorry, I lied to you" Ren Yu's body moved to block Ren Xue's gaze, and his voice was a little low, "Ren Yu, let's go!" Ren Xue wiped her tears with her jade hand, her eyes were a little moist, and she was forced to smile, which was also a little beautiful. Ren Yu didn't notice the sadness in her eyes the moment she turned around, "I know, you are for my good!" pursed her lips and replied to Ren Yu with a smile, so she took his warm hand and turned to leave.

"Hmm!" Ren Yu had no choice but to respond, his heart was worried, and he followed Ren Xue's footsteps to leave the house and walk towards the depths of the road.

Chirping~

After Ren Yu left, the door of the house shook, and the black gas overflowed, and then a young man covered in black gas walked out, his body was a little trance, sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but even standing there, there was a kind of momentum, "I realized my words, not bad, not bad!" The young man looked at Ren Xue who was far away and sighed, feeling a sense of vicissitudes.

His body was very light, as if floating, slowly touching the word, feeling the stroke. Then he sighed: "It's a pity that I can't touch the pen anymore...... No more...... I can't ......" The young man's voice was very soft, echoing in the air, and a little wind blew in the grass not far away, blowing through the grass tips, rising and falling like waves, there was infinite desolation, and if you looked closely at the young man's fingers, they were like nothingness, penetrating the pillar, and could not touch the words that were deep on the pillar at all, but stayed there.

"Child, don't go forward, since you have come here, you should know what is going on here, so you should not go on the road ahead!" The young man seemed to penetrate the distance in one step, and floated directly in front of Ren Yu and the others, and said softly.

Ren Yu only felt a kind of coldness, and suddenly felt bad in his mind, pulled Ren Xue behind him, stood in front of him, only to see the road in front of him sway, a little black air gathered, and in an instant, a person was formed, Ren Yu's pupils were dilated, and a big wave was set off in his heart, "Devil!" shouted in his heart, his body froze, "What's wrong?" Ren Yu Ren Xue was pulled back by Ren Yu, and he didn't see this scene, and a few struggled to see the young man surrounded by black gas in front of him, "I've seen my predecessors!" Ren Yu knelt down, this was the first time in his life that he really gave in, to a dead warrior. "Haha, get up!" The young man laughed, he hadn't seen a human for a long time, and now he bowed to himself as soon as he saw it, and he also laughed, "I owe you a lot, now I apologize!" Ren Yu didn't stand up, he knelt down with a heavy face, "Oh, what's wrong?" the demon young man asked, a little smiling, "I...... I...... I'll kill you......" Ren Yu said a little contradictory, it was difficult to say this!

"I'm willing to suffer together!" Ren Xue's pretty voice sounded, and she fell to her knees on the ground with a bang, which surprised Ren Yu, she didn't expect to let Ren Xue do this!

"Haha, it's kind of interesting, but why are you ashamed to say it for helping us reincarnate? The demon laughed loudly, and pulled Ren Yu and Ren Xue up with a flick of his right hand. In the end, there was another wave of his hand, which made Ren Yu and the others quickly retreat. The voice of the demon youth came from afar, "I like your character very much, if I were still alive, I would definitely take you as an apprentice, but not now, you go, leave here, if your strength grows in the future, come here to see us again, our demon clan is full of warriors, there is no interest, just drink, haha!"
