Chapter Eighty-Six: A Long Journey

、、、、、、、

There was silence and silence all around, as if only the sound of his own violent heartbeat echoed in his ears, and the fear of the unknown of death was like endless icy waters, drowning wild dogs.

He shuddered involuntarily......

The figure under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes was very pitiful and lonely, but he unexpectedly insisted, and the black heart order he was holding with his trembling hand was still very tight, very tight.

This appearance suddenly became a little familiar, as if many years ago, that stubborn and stoic teenager had inexplicable persistence.

The red light in his eyes quietly faded, his arms swayed silently in the darkness, and suddenly countless people in black poured out like a tide, and disappeared cleanly in a blink of an eye.

The wild dog's wheezing slowly calmed down, and there was a little strange in his heart, but he was still afraid, and slowly opened his eyes, but he saw this place, and I don't know when it started, only two people including him remained.

The smell of blood in the air has disappeared at some point.

The man, with his back to him, stood on the abyss of the dead in front of him, staring down silently, as if in the deepest darkness in the world, there were memories of his past.

There was a wind, blowing gently, and the small body of the person was lined with this huge necromantic abyss, which was very fragile. A thought suddenly crossed the wild dog's heart, and while there was no one now, he pushed him down like this......

Once this thought was generated, it suddenly haunted his heart like a fire, and his whole body was hot, and he couldn't help but be eager to try, but his heart was thinking so wildly, but his body seemed to resist his will, motionless.

Until, the man turned around and looked at him.

The wild dog only felt a basin of cold water poured down from his head, and it was cold from his head to the soles of his feet.

"Did you just want to push me down from here?" he said lightly, as if talking about something that didn't concern him.

"Bell!"

The Blackheart Order slipped from the wild dog's grasp and fell to the ground. The wild dog hurriedly picked it up, his face turned a little pale, but then he straightened his body, as if to give himself courage, and said loudly: "If you want to kill, kill it, I, I'm not afraid of you!"

The man, who was called "Ghost Li", glanced at him lightly and said, "I won't kill you." If you die, the Blood Refining Hall will really be dead, but I am afraid that the black-hearted old man will die in the ground. He stepped forward, crossed over the wild dog, and continued, "From now on, you will follow me!"

The wild dog was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "You led people to destroy almost all of our Blood Refining Hall, and you want me to follow you?"

Ghost Li ignored him and just walked forward, but his voice still came clearly: "Your Dao is too low, and if there is no me now, the Ghost King Sect will kill you first, even your fellow disciples who have surrendered, such as the old and the others, seeing that you insist on the Blood Refining Hall, wouldn't it seem that they are too shameless, and they will also kill you." ”

The wild dog was dumbfounded, sweat broke out on his forehead, but when he saw that the figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, he walked farther and farther, and finally stomped his feet, ran quickly and followed, and said loudly: "Hmph, I'm not afraid of death, but in order to revive the Blood Refining Hall, I wronged myself......"

In the dark, with a burst of footsteps, they walked one after the other, walking in this Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave, suddenly, as if suddenly thinking of something, the person behind said: "Hey, Zhang Xiaofan, why are you doing this to me......"

His voice disappeared suddenly, and in the depths of the darkness, suddenly there was a roar like a demon beast, and a thick bloody aura suddenly surrounded him. Wild dogs shuddered.

After a while, the breath slowly receded, and the person in front of him was silent in the dark for a long time before he said lightly: "I have forgotten this name for many years." ”

The wild dog let out a sigh, but couldn't help but say again: "Then what will I call you in the future?"

There was no answer, and the man walked forward again, and the wild dog muttered a few words, not knowing if he was cursing something, but he followed.

Ahead of them was endless darkness.

Qingyun Mountain.

This magical and mysterious fairy mountain in the eyes of the world, ten years later, is still like a fairyland on earth.

The damage caused by the battle between the righteous and the demons has already been repaired, but I don't know that the wounds left in the deep heart have also healed?

Ten years ago, in a big war, the first Shangzhengliang of Chaoyang Peak, the first Tianyun Dao people of Luoxia Peak unfortunately passed away, and the first Cangsong Dao people of Longshou Peak betrayed.

Now Chaoyang Peak and Luoxia Peak have been taken over by the elders of this faction, but only the Longshou Peak is the first vein, because of the Cangsong Dao people, the second largest vein that was originally second only to Changmen could not raise its head in Qingyunmen, and after the public promotion within this vein, it was unexpectedly that Qi Hao of the younger generation took over the first position.

And as if it was a trend, in the major factions in Qingyunmen, there are more and more opportunities for the younger generation to appear, such as Zeng Shushu of Fenghuifeng, Song Daren of Dazhufeng, Wen Min of Xiaozhufeng, and Lu Xueqi, all of whom have been doing more and more things for their division commanders.

It is within the Nagato, over the years, Daoxuan Zhenren has gradually stopped asking about the world, and handed over the daily trivial matters to the proud disciple Xiao Yicai to deal with.

The mountain behind Tongtian Peak, the ancestral hall of the patriarch.

The soft sunlight shines on the majestic hall, which looks solemn and mysterious. The ancestral hall still looks gloomy, and the glimmer of those ever-bright lights and incense candles still pays tribute to the souls of countless ancestors of Qingyunmen.

Lin Jingyu was sitting alone in the open space in front of the ancestral hall, with his eyes closed. The dragon slaying sword that emitted a turquoise light floated gently above his head, emitting a green circle of light that enveloped him, and in the sunlight, a mysterious strange light flashed.

His face has lost its original innocence, and has more perseverance and vicissitudes.

Behind him, in the shadows of the ancestral hall, there were two eyes, staring at him quietly. In the middle of the night, a figure slowly walked out.

It was the mysterious old man with a wrinkled face, he slowly walked out of the shadows, sat down on the steps of the ancestral hall, his eyes stayed on Lin Jingyu's body, and after a long time, he said lightly: "It's okay." ”

The turquoise light of the Dragon Slaying Sword was retracted, Lin Jingyu took a deep breath, opened his eyes, stood up, turned his head to look at the old man, smiled, and said, "Senior!"

The old man looked at his young face, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Your qualifications are really good, and you work so hard, entering the realm is far better than I expected." ”

Lin Jingyu's face flashed with gratitude, bent down deeply, and said in a low voice: "The seniors are very kind, and the disciples are unforgettable. ”

The old man waved his hand lightly, and then sighed: "In the blink of an eye, it has been ten years again. I don't have anything to teach you, and you've been with me in this ancestral hall for ten years, so go back today. ”

Lin Jingyu's body was shocked, revealing a stunned look, but the old man ignored him, and only said: "Do you know what happened in the vein of Longshou Peak?"

Lin Jingyu came back to his senses and nodded: "Yes, a few days ago, Senior Brother Qi Hao came here to visit me and said something to me. ”

The old man nodded and said, "I heard today that the new generation of outstanding disciples in the Qingyun Sect are all gathered on Tongtian Peak, there may be something, there is also a word from Nagato just now, you can also go there." ”

The corners of Lin Jingyu's mouth moved, looking at the old man, faintly reluctant, the old man smiled, his face seemed to have a faint gloom, but then disappeared, waved his hand and said: "Good man, you don't have to make this gesture, go!"

Lin Jingyu took a deep breath, bowed to the ground, and said: "Senior, the grace of the past ten years of teaching is as majestic as a mountain, and the disciples will never forget, and in the future, they will use what they have learned to eliminate demons with righteousness, repay their teachers, and live up to their ambitions!"

The old man nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, you can go." ”

Lin Jingyu saluted again, looked at the surrounding scenery, and finally Huo Ran turned around, straightened his body, strode forward, and left this ancestral hall.

The sun shone on his back, as if it was also a little dazzling.

The old man looked at his figure, stunned, and at some point, another figure appeared behind him.

"He's gone. The figure said lightly.

The corners of the old man's mouth moved, he slowly stood up, and turned his head to look at this person, the supreme head of the Qingyun Sect.

"Thank you. He said suddenly.

Dao Xuan Zhenren seemed to be slightly taken aback, and frowned: "What?"

The old man walked through his body and walked towards the hall of the ancestral hall, and said, "Thank you for agreeing to let this young man accompany me for ten years." ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren was silent for a moment, and slowly walked into the ancestral hall, in the middle of the main hall, in front of the spiritual platform where countless Qingyun ancestors were enshrined, the lights and incense candles were lit and flickered, and the faces of the people who illuminated them were also gloomy.

The old man walked to the altar, picked up a brand new incense candle from the incense table in front of the altar, lit it on the other incense candle, and replaced the incense candle next to it that was about to burn out.

Dao Xuan Zhenren silently watched his slow and skillful movements, and suddenly said: "Back then, I took a big risk and hid from your teachers to save you, but you didn't even say a word of thanks. Why do you thank me today, a teenager?"

The old man did not speak, but took a step back, in the shadows, still holding the broken candle that had just been replaced. He raised his head and looked upward, the spiritual position of the ancestors of Qingyunmen stood majestically in front of him, sacred and solemn, like a mountain, as if he was easily overwhelmed by a small person.

He was silent, didn't speak, just stared.

Dao Xuan Zhenren was behind him, and he couldn't see the old man's eyes at this moment, but he saw that the burning candle oil dripping from the broken candle fell on the dry palm of the hand, drop by drop, and then slowly solidified.

The palm of the hand also seemed to be trembling slightly.

In the depths of the shadows, far away, there seemed to be a faint sigh......

※※※

When Lin Jingyu arrived at the Yuqing Hall of Tongtian Peak, there were already more than a dozen people standing here. Among these people, there are those he is familiar with, and there are those who are so strange that he has only met a few times, and only knows that they are from the same family.

But without exception, everyone present knew in their hearts that the young people standing here at the moment were all leaders of the younger generation of Qingyunmen.

Among the crowd, the most outstanding are the two, one is naturally the cold and glamorous Lu Xueqi, and the other is Qi Hao, who is now wearing the first costume and has an extraordinary bearing. Speaking of which, none of the other veins came to the first seat, and Qi Hao was also the only one to be present at the first seat of the six veins.

Qi Hao turned his eyes and saw Lin Jingyu walking in, he was stunned for a moment, then walked up with a laugh, hugged Lin Jingyu, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Lin, you are not guarding the spirit in the ancestral hall, why are you here?"

In the past ten years, Lin Jingyu has always lived in the ancestral hall under the pretext of guarding the spirit, and the old man with a mysterious origin is related to a secret story in the past of Qingyunmen, so everyone doesn't know, and he naturally won't say anything at this moment, only smiled: "At the end of the ten years, I also came out, and someone just informed me to come here, but I didn't expect you to be here, Senior Brother Qi, you are also here." ”

Qi Hao smiled slightly, and said, "The master master has notified the outstanding disciples among the young disciples of all lineages to come here, saying that there is something important to discuss, and I happen to have nothing to do, so I will come over to take a look." ”

While their brothers were talking, a tall man walked over next to him, who was Song Daren, the first disciple of Dazhu Peak. I haven't seen him for ten years, and his appearance hasn't changed much.

Song Daren was also familiar with Qi Hao and others back then, so he came over to greet him for a while, and after a while, his eyes fell on Lin Jingyu's body, and he said with a smile: "Senior Brother Lin hasn't seen him for several years, and he is even more handsome and tall, so he must have improved a lot?"

Lin Jingyu bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Song, you are too awarded. ”

When Song Daren wanted to say something more, a voice came from behind him, saying, "Ah, Senior Brother Qi, do you still recognize the little brother?"

Qi Hao looked at the person who spoke and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zeng, I have forgotten that no one dares to forget you!"

The person who came was Zeng Shushu, the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation of Fenghui Peak, and next to him were the two beauties Wen Min and Lu Xueqi in Xiaozhu Peak.

Most people's eyes looked at the cold Lu Xueqi, only Song Daren looked at Wen Min and smiled, Wen Min smiled and glanced at him.

Qi Hao and others have also met Wen Min and Lu Xueqi, Zeng Shushu said: "Senior Brother Qi, when you succeeded to the first throne, the younger brother made a mistake and was imprisoned by his father, so he couldn't be there to congratulate him, no wonder!"

Qi Hao laughed and said, "Whatever Senior Brother Zeng says, it's okay when you get your mind." ”

Zeng Shushu smiled and nodded, then glanced around, and said, "Senior Brother Qi, this time the head of the master called us, I don't know what the big deal is?"

Qi Hao shook his hand and said: "I don't know the specifics, but I have heard that something happened somewhere in the West, and the master wants to send the younger generation of outstanding disciples to experience it." ”

"Ahh The people around made a sound, many people were quite curious and excited, Zeng Shushu was also smiling, but suddenly his expression froze, as if he thought of something, Qi Hao found out, and said slightly: "Senior Brother Zeng, what's wrong?"

Zeng Shushu smiled bitterly and said, "Young generation, outstanding disciples go down the mountain to practice?" he shook his head lightly and sighed, "How can this sound so familiar to me." ”

He and Qi Hao glanced at each other, and suddenly understood each other's intentions, the four people of the year are now ......

They all turned their heads and looked at the beautiful woman, Lu Xueqi stood there quietly, as if she hadn't heard anything, and seemed to bury everything deep in her heart, her bright eyes turned, and she glanced at Lin Jingyu, as if she wanted to see some shadow, but finally, she moved away.

At this time, suddenly above the main hall, the sound of Zhong Ding sounded, and everyone immediately stood solemnly, and after a while, the head of Dao Xuan Zhenren, accompanied by Xiao Yicai, walked out, glanced at everyone, said hello with a smile, and sat down on the main seat.

Everyone saluted together, Qi Hao stood at the front, Dao Xuan Zhenren smiled and waved his hand, and said, "That's it, that's it, you can sit down." ”

But among the disciples, except for Qi Hao's current identity, which is already different, and he sat down under the head of Dao Xuan Zhenren, the others are still standing.

Dao Xuan Zhenren glanced at Xiao Yicai beside him and said, "Yicai, come on." ”

Xiao Yicai nodded and said, "Yes, Master." ”

With that, he walked out, glanced at everyone around, and said loudly: "Fellow disciples, there is one thing that needs to be completed by the most outstanding disciples of our Qingyun Sect. ”

When he said this, everyone shook for a while, Xiao Yicai smiled and continued: "Recently, there have been rumors in the world, saying that in the Western Swamp, there has been a sudden strange light in the sky, and it will not stop for a few days, and I am afraid that a shocking treasure will be born. Originally, spiritual things fell from the sky, and only the virtuous lived in them, and we were not interested. But after the news spread, I heard that the demon cult was moving westward with the intention of getting involved. ”

"What?"

"Damn!" the young disciples of Qingyun Sect suddenly became angry and shouted one after another.

Xiao Yicai waited for everyone's voices to be quieter, and said with a smile: "If this news is false, it's fine, but if it really has a rare treasure and falls into the hands of the Demon Sect, wouldn't it be for the tiger." Qingyunmen has always been the leader of the righteous path in the world, so the head of the sect decided to select outstanding disciples from the younger generation of the sect and go to the Western Swamp together to uphold righteousness and righteousness, and kill demons. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and suddenly had a mysterious taste, and said: "Senior disciples, in addition, there is another important point, I heard that today Tianyin Temple and Incense Valley also sent disciples to the Western Swamp. Since the great war ten years ago, everyone has also known in their hearts that these two factions are clearly in harmony with us, but they have secretly peeped into the position of the leader of the righteous path for a long time. I hope you don't lose face!"

There was an uproar among the crowd, and someone suddenly shouted: "Don't worry, the real person in charge, we will never lose the face of Qingyunmen!"

"Exactly, this time we must let the people of the Demon Sect and the Burning Incense Valley of Tianyin Temple see how powerful we are!"

Dao Xuan Zhenren smiled and nodded, stood up, and said, "This time I went to the West, it may be dangerous, and the people in the Demon Sect are even more dangerous and cunning, so you have to worry about it on weekdays." ”

Everyone said in unison, "Yes." ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren said to Xiao Yicai: "Then you can arrange it and leave early." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Lin Jingyu who was standing in the crowd intentionally or unintentionally, then turned around and walked towards the inner hall, everyone sent him off, and when his figure disappeared, Xiao Yicai turned around and divided the personnel.

Over there, Lin Jingyu said to Qi Hao: "What, Senior Brother Qi, aren't you going this time?"

Qi Hao smiled and said, "Senior Brother Lin, I can't leave now." ”

Lin Jingyu woke up, his face turned red, and said, "Ah, senior brother, you are already the head of the lineage, but I didn't expect it." ”

Qi Hao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "This is the first time you have walked the world, it is a great opportunity, I look forward to you showing your might and becoming famous in one fell swoop!"

Lin Jingyu smiled: "Senior brother, you are laughing. ”

Qi Hao smiled, but then his face was a little gloomy, looking at the people around, he whispered to Lin Jingyu: "Senior Brother Lin, I won't tell you, ten years ago, the master ...... Cangsong Dao people betrayed Qingyun, and as a result, our Longshou Peak first vein has not been able to raise its head, especially the disciples of Chaoyang Peak and Luoxia Peak, who are like enemies when they see us. Senior brother, I'm the first to do a lot of hard work, so I hope you go out this time and help us fight for Longshoufeng!"

Lin Jingyu was silent, nodded slightly after a while, and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Qi, I know, you can rest assured, I will not let you down." ”

Qi Hao smiled slightly, his face loosened a little, and he stretched out his hand and patted Lin Jingyu's shoulder.

At this moment, Song Daren walked over, glanced at the two of them, and said with a smile: "What, is it Senior Brother Lin who went out of Longshoufeng this time?"

Qi Hao smiled: "Exactly, I don't know who is from Dazhu Peak?"

Song Daren smiled and said, "Originally, it was still me, the unsuccessful senior brother, but later my senior sister thought I was stupid, so she let my sixth junior brother Du Bishu go." ”

Qi Hao smiled and said, "Senior Brother Du has always been clever, and he is like a tiger in our Qingyun Gate. ”

Song Daren's eloquence was naturally not as sleek and thoughtful as Qi Hao, he laughed and talked a few words at the moment, and was about to walk away, when he suddenly turned around and said to Qi Hao: "By the way, Senior Brother Qi, my senior sister has missed me Ling'er recently, after you go back, ask her to go back to Dazhufeng and stay for a few days." ”

Qi Hao said with a smile: "Senior Brother Song, you still don't know, early this morning, before I left Longshou Peak and came here, Ling'er had already gone back to Dazhu Peak, saying that she missed her mother." It seems that her mother-in-law and her are really heart-to-heart mother and daughter. ”

Song Daren was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, his voice was hearty, echoing in this Yuqing Palace.
