Qingyun Mountain, Big Bamboo Peak.

In the dead of night, only the sound of bamboo waves in the distance with the wind gently echoed in the night sky. The lights had long since been extinguished, and the disciples of Dazhu Peak had all rested in peace, only behind the Silent Hall, there was still a lone lamp, flickering in the darkness.

The night breeze was light, and there was a hint of coolness, blowing in from the half-open window, making a slight "whine" sound, too

The lamp on the table in the middle of the room shook a little, and became indefinite.

A white hand gently reached over to block the wind, and the firelight quickly stabilized and began to glow again. Su Ru sat at the table a little lazily, it was late at night, but she didn't feel sleepy.

The wind outside the house was still blowing, hitting the doors and windows, making a soft noise from time to time, Su Ru stood up and slowly walked to the window, but did not close the window immediately, but looked out of the window.

The sky is like ink, and it is the darkest time.

She listened intently, but in the wind in the middle of the night, there was no sound she wanted to hear.

A faint wry smile appeared on Su Ru's face, quietly closed the window, and turned around to sit back at the table. She and Tian Buyi are not people who value luxury, and there are not many things in this bedroom, and at this moment, in addition to a cloth bag, there is only a small round mirror on the table.

She took the round mirror, and a moment later, in front of her eyes, a dignified and beautiful woman appeared in the round mirror, with hair like clouds, and skin like a girl, without a trace of wrinkles. She and Tian Buyi have been married together, and they have practiced for hundreds of years before they have this Taoism, and their face is permanent.

After looking at it for a long time, Su Ru sighed softly, put the small round mirror aside, took the cloth bag at the other end, and opened it.

Inside were some of the most ordinary things, some needles and threads, a piece of cloth, scissors, and chalk, which ordinary women generally have in the world, so that they can add clothes for their husbands and children. Su Ru gently took the fabric, threaded the needle, and sewed it carefully by the light of the lamp.

It's just that she sewed and sewed, and under the illumination of the candle flame, her eyes became a little confused, as if she was a little absent-minded, she didn't know what she was thinking, and the speed of sewing was much slower. At this time, suddenly the wind outside the house seemed to be strong, and a "woo" blew through, but the window that had just been closed was slammed hard, and it was blown open again.

A cold wind rushed in, and the candle flame on the table was blown out by the wind almost at the same time.

"Ahh

With a soft snort, Su Ru frowned in the dark, and a tingling pain came from the tips of her fingers. With her Taoist practice, she was actually hurt by a small sewing needle, and even she felt a little funny, but somehow, at this moment, the room was dark, and as soon as the cold night wind blew, Su Ru's mood became a little sad, as if a big stone was blocked in her heart, and it was heavy.

She sighed, put down her clothes, and walked to the window. The scenery outside the window is still the same, but her husband, who watched all this with her countless times in the past, has been gone for a long time.

After dawn, maybe we should send Daren and a few of them down the mountain to look for it, it's not a way to wait like this.

Su Ru thought so in her heart, and the appearance of Tian Buyi in front of her was worried.

It's dark at night!

She stared at the night sky for a long time, her lips trembling slightly, and she didn't know what to say, and after a long time, she silently bowed her head, sighed faintly, and closed the window.

Outside the house, the wind seemed to be a little more anxious.

Huqi Mountain, Ghost King Sect.

In the same late night, there are also people who have no sleep, but the mood may be different.

Hidden in the deepest part of the mountain, above the pool of blood, the Oni King and Mr. Oni stand side by side. Mr. Ghost was still wrapped in black clothes, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but the Ghost King's face had excitement and joy that could not be concealed.

He didn't look tired from staying up late, in fact, with the cultivation path of the Ghost King, even if he didn't sleep for a few days, there would be no big problem, and at this moment, instead of being tired, his face was faintly red, full of energy, and he was staring at the pool of blood under his feet with all his attention.

The blood pool soaked in countless blood, compared with the past, has undergone obvious changes at this moment, the four spirit beasts are still imprisoned in the blood water, even if it is the gluttony who struggled before, it looks like it has been drained of strength at this moment, and it is listless to crawl in the blood water, and it has not moved for a long time.

And the water of the blood pool, which has always been calm, is no longer calm at this moment, in the huge water surface, there are bubbles constantly rising from the depths of the blood water everywhere, and at the same time, the sound of bursting is constantly coming out, and this speed is no less than several times faster than the original, and the number of bubbles is also much more, the entire blood pool, it seems to be boiling, an invisible force is constantly waking up from the depths of the blood pool, and in this space, the bloody breath that there used to be is more than ten times stronger than before.

In mid-air, the hub of the four spirit blood arrays, Fulong Ding, has also undergone some changes from the past, the original clumsy and heavy body seems to have absorbed a lot of spiritual energy demon power from the blood pool below and the four spirit beasts, and gradually revealed a trace of red light, and the original appearance of the bronze material of the big ding, at this moment also showed a transparent and slightly light yellow amber color, looking faintly solemn.

On top of the body, those mysterious inscriptions have all been lit up, as if they have all been reborn

Generally, there was a strange light flashing, and on the pattern in the center, the original flickering four spirit beast patterns had all lit up at this moment, shining, and the light was even brighter than the surrounding words. Only the hideous demon god head in this pattern was still as red as blood, greedily absorbing the spiritual power that Fu Longding was constantly absorbing from below.

And the space around Fu Long Ding, in this sealed mountain, is actually out of thin air like a foggy vortex airflow, faintly carrying the wind and thunder power, constantly wandering around this Ding body, even if the ghost king and Mr. Ghost standing in the distance, can still clearly feel that this Fu Long Ding itself contains terrible and terrifying mana, and this strange mana is still constantly adding and strengthening.

Like the Ghost King, Mr. Ghost also looked at this Fu Long Ding, but his gaze was cold and sharp, compared with the Ghost King, he was a little less fanatical and a little more calm.

Mr. Ghost stared at Fu Long Ding for a long time, and slowly spoke: "There is no accident in everything now, it is exactly the same as the inscription on Fu Long Dingding's body, if it goes on like this, as long as the period of 7749 days is complete, it seems that the Four Spirit Blood Array, this world-famous array, will definitely succeed!"

The ghost king took a deep breath, his face was full of red light, and his eyes revealed a fanatical light that was rarely seen in him, and when he took a step, he couldn't help but let out a long howl, and said, "Okay, good, good, the old man can't wait!"

Mr. Ghost glanced at him and said, "Sect Master Shao'an is not impatient, and the future will be long." ”

The Ghost King looked up to the sky and laughed, Huo Di turned around and walked in front of Mr. Ghost, but he reached out and patted Mr. Ghost on the shoulder. Mr. Ghost seemed to be startled, and a trace of strange color flashed in his eyes, but finally there was no movement, standing in place, and after a while, the Ghost King's palm slapped his shoulder, but it was nothing unusual, just laughed and said: "Good, good, good!"

He laughed, very happy, and then seemed to remember something, his smile narrowed a little, and he said to Mr. Ghost, "Thank you." ”

Mr. Ghost bowed his head slightly, and said: "The success of this Amazing Array is due to the Sect Master's Hongfu Qitian, and if it weren't for this Fulong Ding artifact, there would be nothing to be done about it." ”

The ghost king shook his head with a smile and said: "Fulong Ding is the treasure of my ghost king sect, but for many years, no one can understand the inscription of the Ding body, and only you helped the old man in the end.

Mr. Ghost was silent for a moment and said, "The sect master has won the prize. ”

The ghost king smiled, but turned around again, and his eyes fell on the void, radiant, and powerful Fu Longding again, and there was a burst of excitement and ecstasy in his eyes, and he couldn't help but laugh again.

Mr. Ghost stood quietly behind the Ghost King, watching the Ghost King look more and more arrogant, and didn't say a word. At this moment, if you come in casually and someone who knows the ghost king, I am afraid that you will be surprised, the ghost king has always been eloquent and introverted, and he has never had such a flamboyant and arrogant look, but this time in the eyes of Mr. Ghost, he did not see Mr. Ghost have the slightest look of surprise.

I don't know if it's because Mr. Ghost and the Ghost King have seen a lot when they're alone on weekdays, or if he's so scheming that others can't see it at all.

All in all, on top of the huge pool of blood in the belly of this hidden mountain, in the thick bloody aura, the ghost king was smug about the future, and the smug laughter echoed, gradually enveloping the entire huge cave. And behind him, a quiet shadow, stood silently.

※※※

At the foot of Qingyun Mountain.

The strange black clouds above the sky have gradually dissipated at some point, but the clouds are still very thick, and from the dark sky, the heavy rain is still falling, washing away this seemingly lonely world.

In the wilderness, the wind and rain were fierce, and the cold was biting, and the place that was once an abandoned Yizhuang not long ago had become completely in ruins after a thrilling and fierce battle, and even the ground under his feet had been turned over by the destruction of the huge mana, and after being washed away by the wind and rain, it had become a dirty mud.

The sky was dark, there was no light, and in the wilderness, in the wind and rain, there was only a faint blue light, flickering slightly.

Lu Xueqi, who has always loved cleanliness, was already stained with mud in white clothes, but she didn't seem to care at all, not far in front of her, Tian Buyi's body was lying quietly, he closed his eyes, and was so calm that he seemed to be asleep. The wind and rain hit him in the face, and there was a whimper in the wind, as if he was crying.

Ghost Li still hadn't woken up, and through the faint blue light of Tianya, he could see that his face was as white as a dead man, and his expression was full of pain, if it weren't for the slight heaving of breathing in his chest, it was almost an illusion. At this moment, his body was held in Lu Xueqi's arms, and Tianya quietly emitted light, supporting a small gap in the small place around Lu Xueqi and Ghost Li, and the invisible power blocked the raindrops.

And not far in front of them, the monkey Ash also lost his former activity, sitting quietly on the ground, falling from the sky

The rain drenched its body hair, and from time to time droplets of water flowed over its face and body, dripping onto the ground. A cold wind blew, and Xiao Gray's three eyes blinked, as if he felt a little cold, and quietly moved closer to Ghost Li's body.

Lu Xueqi silently raised her head, glanced at Xiao Ash, and then stretched out her hand and gently carried Xiao Ash into Tianya's aura, letting it lie on Ghost Li's body. Xiao Ash looked at Lu Xueqi, and let out a soft "squeak" cry from his mouth, and then his head hung down slightly, leaning on Ghost Li's chest. Its head turned to the side, its eyes fixed on the quiet body not far ahead, Tian Buyi.

Like a dream?

It seemed to be a long and long dream, but there was no joy in it, because at the end, I found that it was a nightmare.

Ghost's body moved, and the sadness on his pale face seemed to be a little deeper, and after a moment, with a groan of pain, he slowly woke up.

There was light in front of me, a pale blue brilliance, gently floating and lingering around the body.

There are sounds all around, it is the sound of wind and rain, the wind and rain, and the wind and rain.

Xiao Ash, who was leaning on Ghost Li's chest, suddenly straightened up and looked at Ghost Li.

Once again, the cold wind blew.

Ghost Li trembled slightly, and then he saw Lu Xueqi's gaze, the face as pale as his, the only person who accompanied him in this stormy night.

The corners of the ghostly mouth trembled slightly.

The pain in his chest has been reduced a lot, and he glanced at his chest, only to see seven or eight pieces of white cloth tape of different sizes wrapped around his chest, which looked like they were all temporarily torn from his clothes, and at this moment his consciousness gradually became sober, and he soon noticed that the broken bones in his chest wound had been connected one by one, but the power of Tian Buyi's palm was really extraordinary, and his whole body's qi and veins were shocked, although Lu Xueqi rescued him afterwards, but he was only afraid that he would have to recuperate for many days before he recovered.

As soon as he thought of this, he subconsciously turned his eyes and soon saw the teacher who raised him to grow up. Ghost Li didn't speak, he didn't seem to even have the strength to speak, in the wind and rain, Tian Buyi's face was splashed with water droplets, lying silently in the dirty mud.

Who knows what will happen when he dies?

There was a low hoarse cry in his throat, and his ghostly body rolled down from Lu Xueqi's arms, fell into the mud, and then struggled to crawl towards Tian Buyi's body. Lu Xueqi was taken aback, and instinctively pulled him forward, but when her hand touched Ghost Li's body, she heard Ghost Li say in a low voice:

"Don't pull me. ”

Lu Xueqi stood still, slowly withdrew her outstretched hand, her eyes looked at Ghost Li, followed him all the time, watched Ghost Li leave Tianya's aura, and crawled towards Tian Buyi's body step by step. The wind and rain came mercilessly, and soon wet his body, and along the way, the mud also splashed all over his body.

The monkey Xiao Ash followed Ghost Li's side, looking at the appearance of the master, he seemed to be a little anxious, jumped to Ghost Li's side from time to time, stretched out his hands and wanted to pull him, but Ghost Li was too big compared to Xiao Ash, and Xiao Ash couldn't do it for a while, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and "squeak" a few times.

Finally, Ghost Li crawled to Tian Buyi's side, and the tentacles were already cold. The teeth on the ghostly face were clenched, and his body trembled slightly, his eyes carefully looked at Tian Buyi in front of him, like a wanderer who had returned after many years, but after all, there was only despair left.

From his face, droplets of water dripped and fell on Tian Buyi's already stiffened face.

The wind and rain are getting stronger.

His gaze slowly fell on Tian Buyi's chest, although it was the clothes that had been tidied up, but the huge and terrible wound was still shocking, and the ghost seemed to be stabbed all over, and his body froze.

Then, he slowly turned around and looked back.

Behind her, Lu Xueqi's lonely and sad figure, in the wind and rain, she silently met the gaze of the ghost, her face was pale and bloodless, her hands shrunk in her sleeves, clenched into fists, and her nails were deeply sunk into her skin.

At that moment, I don't know what kind of sadness it was?

The expression on Ghost Li's face gradually became dazed, and even the initial pain and sadness gradually disappeared, only blank. He turned his head so blankly and looked at Tian Buyi again, the wind and rain were blowing, and Tian Buyi's face, at some point, splashed a few bits of mud on the ground.

Ghost Li slowly stretched out his hand and wiped the rain off Tian Buyi's face, when he touched the cold skin on Tian Buyi's face, his hand seemed to be burned by fire, instinctively shrunk back, and then reached out again, carefully and carefully wiped the mud and rain off Tian Buyi's face.

Then, he stood up, crawled close to the body of his teacher, and used his chest to shield Tian from the wind and rain, and no longer let this miserable wind and rain touch his body.

Lu Xueqi silently watched everything he did, without stopping it, on her beautiful face, only desolation remained.

"When I was a teenager, my family was ruined and ......people died," the ghostly voice suddenly came from the wind and rain, and he said it very slowly, like every word, which rolled in his heart countless times before it was slowly confided.

Lu Xueqi approached him quietly, but the ghostly body remained unmoved, still sheltering Tian Bu from the wind and rain.

"It was Master who took me back to Dazhufeng and taught me to raise me, and I will never be able to repay his kindness for the rest of my life. ”

The ghostly body shook a little, I don't know if it was because of the fatigue after the injury, some of them couldn't support the wind and rain. Lu Xueqi's face changed, and she reached out to help him, but her hand only touched Ghost Li's body, but Ghost Li moved aside a little and avoided her.

Lu Xueqi's hand froze in mid-air.

The ghost struggled to pick up Tian Buyi's body, and held his head and face deeply in his arms, and at the same time, a deep pain appeared on his face, and he just whispered to himself.

Lu Xueqi stood beside him, in the wind and rain, he still heard his words clearly, and Ghost Li just repeated one sentence over and over again:

"I can't pay it back for the rest of my life...... For a lifetime, I can't pay it back......"

Lu Xueqi's lips trembled slightly, her gaze swept over Tian Buyi's face, who knows, on the same night, this person also smiled and talked to her, and made a promise to her, so that she saw a glimmer of hope in the despair of the past.

That sword, that wound......

There is more than one person who is hurt!

She smiled sadly and turned away, but her body shook a few times involuntarily, her brows furrowed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. A drop of blood fell on her breast, and on the earth, but the wind and rain were merciless, and it was not long before they were eroded by the rain.

She looked up at the sky, and the cold raindrops fell on her face, and the sky was as black as ink.

Isn't it almost dawn?

But why, in this world, until this time, except for this lonely ups and downs, the rest is only pitch black?

There were tears in the corners of Lu Xueqi's eyes, and in the wind and rain, they slipped quietly.
