At the foot of Qingyun Mountain.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, only to see a piece of blue, and the gentle breeze blowing, which makes people feel refreshed.

Lu Xueqi looked at it for a while, there was no one around, and naturally no one would notice that there was such a beautiful woman watching the sky quietly at the foot of this secluded mountain. The breeze blew, and the hair of her shawl fluttered softly, brushing her slightly thin face.

Master Shuiyue's admonition kept echoing in her ears:

"From the dialogue between Senior Brother Daoxuan and Senior Brother Wan, we know that the real people who have been in charge of Qingyunmen in the past generations will tell this secret to the next generation of disciples who will pass on the throne when they are still sober, and the will passed down by the ancestors of the past generations is for the reputation of Qingyunmen and the common people in the world, in order to avoid creating more killings, when it is absolutely necessary, the disciples can kill the ......"

"This time, Senior Brother Daoxuan didn't tell Xiao Yicai this secret for some reason, in my opinion, there are no more than two reasons, one is that: before Senior Brother Daoxuan made up his mind to tell Xiao Yicai this secret, he had already been counterattacked by the Demon Spirit of the Zhuxian Ancient Sword; ”

"It's just that although things have changed like this, as Qingyun disciples, we can't stay out of the matter no matter what, Tian is not easy to be missing, Senior Sister Su is in chaos, only I am the only one to make this dangerous decision. I just hope that one piece will end up on the mountain, and you don't have to participate in it, but if you really find them at the bottom of the mountain, you should also take on this great responsibility with all your heart, and the ancestors of Qingyun have spirits, and they will definitely protect you and me, master and apprentice!"

Lu Xueqi slowly opened her eyes and breathed deeply.

Turn your head and look at the majestic mountains and rivers behind, handsome and straight, the distant mountains are undulating and containing daisies, and the dangerous rocks are abrupt up close, and there is a style everywhere, and it is a scenery in all places.

Towering into the sky, towering over the world.

It's for Qingyun!

At the corner of her mouth, a faint and warm smile slowly emerged, this mountain range, after all, is the place where she grew up, there are her respected teachers, close sisters and sisters, and the ...... she once had Recall.

She turned around and walked away, her white clothes were like snow, fluttering and moving, the sky and the earth were as big as promises, and the sky was infinite, even if it was a peerless face and a hero of the world, maybe it was just a drop in the ocean.

※※※

Speaking of which, it was the first time that I came down the mountain on the orders of the division commander, but there was no clear place to go. It's ridiculous to think that I don't know where to go to complete this task, even though I have a lot of responsibilities.

Tianya held it quietly in his hand, but there was no familiar feeling, it should be said that he had already become a part of his body, and the faint blue light had also converged in the scabbard. One man and one sword, strolling forward.

Where do we go?

Heaven and earth are as big as promised!

There is a three-way intersection in front of her, Lu Xueqi stopped, it's not that she doesn't know the way, among the disciples of Qingyunmen, she is a person who goes down the mountain more frequently, a flat road in front of her, she has also walked countless times, it is the most convenient way for Qingyun Mountain to go outward, directly leading to Heyang City, the largest town under Qingyun Mountain.

The other fork in the road, which seems to have been abandoned for a long time, is overgrown with weeds, and only a section near the fork is faintly visible.

In fact, this kind of trail mountain road, I don't know how many people come down from Qingyun Mountain, there are many trails that are villagers living in the nearby villages at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, in order to make a living up the mountain to chop firewood or pick wild fruits, there are also many roads, due to various reasons, the years are long, and it has become this deserted appearance.

Who knows where this road leads, and who will remember who has walked it?

Lu Xueqi shook her head slightly, and smiled bitterly in her heart, after returning from southern Xinjiang, since she was separated from that person, her state of mind has really changed a lot.

She shook her head slightly, wanting to put the thought aside, and was about to get back on the road. At this time, the villagers who came from the other side of the road, some old and some young, looked at their clothes and clothes, and most of them brought axes, hemp ropes and flat poles, and it seemed that they were all woodcutters from nearby villages who wanted to go up the mountain to cut firewood.

Walking closer, these woodcutters saw Lu Xueqi, and they all turned sideways to get out of the way, with a respectful look on their faces, the disciples of Qingyunmen were originally respected within a radius of hundreds of miles, not to mention Lu Xueqi's peerless appearance, floating like an immortal, it was even more daring to look at it.

Lu Xueqi stood still, nodded slightly to them, regarded as a return salute, and then planned to leave, at this moment, suddenly one of the old woodcutters who looked gray but still in good spirits seemed to be very enthusiastic, and said with a smile: "Girl, don't you know the road?"

Lu Xueqi's body paused slightly, stopped, looked around, glanced at the old woodcutter, hesitated, and shook his head slightly, but before she could speak, the enthusiastic old woodcutter had already said: "I know that you Qingyunmen immortal cultivators are powerful, and you are flying around many times, but if you want to talk about the road under your feet, sometimes you are not as familiar as us countrymen." ”

When several woodcutters next to him heard this, they all laughed, Lu Xueqi looked at their kind faces, and somehow there was a sudden warmth in her heart, and the steps she was about to take stopped again.

The old woodcutter laughed and said, "The big road in front of you leads to Heyang City in the south, which is the most lively place within a hundred miles of the neighborhood, and when you get there, it will be much easier to go to other places." As he spoke, he pointed to the abandoned path and said, "Don't go to that road, it was a lively village many years ago, but now it's all ruined, and there is no one left." ”

Lu Xueqi smiled slightly and said, "I understand, thank you, uncle." ”

The old woodcutter waved his hand, laughed twice, and continued to walk towards Qingyun Mountain with the others, while a woodcutter who was slightly younger than him next to him sighed and said: "Originally, there was a temple in that village, I heard that it was very spiritual, more than ten years ago, my wife and I went there to worship the Bodhisattva and ask for a child, and it turned out to be there, but unfortunately it is no longer now." ”

The old woodcutter nodded and said, "Yes, I also remember, it's a pity that the temple is gone......"

The voice of the words gradually became lower, and their figures gradually disappeared into the mountains and forests, and in the light breeze blowing in the distance, there seemed to be their cheerful and bold laughter, Lu Xueqi turned around, the smile on her face was still there, and somehow, her mood seemed to be much better.

Smiling, she looked up and walked towards the road.

The steps were originally brisk, but for some reason, her pace suddenly slowed down, her delicate eyebrows, slightly frowned, and deep in her heart, it seemed that something important had suddenly passed, but she didn't grasp it for a while.

In the depths of the memory, there seems to be something, quietly awakening......

She stood still, and the picture just now replayed itself quickly in her mind, and the words of the woodcutters echoed again:

"Don't go that way, many years ago, it was a lively village, but now it's all ruined, and there is no one......"

"Originally, there was a temple in that village, and I heard that it was very spiritual......"

Lu Xueqi suddenly shook her whole body, and after a while, she slowly turned around, and once again, looked at the path that was overgrown with weeds and seemed to have been lost in the afterimage of time......

※※※

How many things can be changed in ten years?

Look, mood, or hatred?

No one can understand others, and sometimes, even themselves. But only this path has really changed.

Because there is no road here.

The lush growth of wild grasses, year after year, obscures the past history and witnesses the ruthlessness of time. Until a white lonely figure quietly approached the dusty place.

In the weeds, you can still vaguely see the ruins and broken walls, and in the breeze blowing in the face, there is no longer the bloody smell of the past, and there is only the slightly green and fragrant smell of the weeds.

Walking through one broken door after another, looking at the stone steps and walls that are quietly covered by moss, the smiles and joys that I had in my life and the happiness I once had have all disappeared with the wind?

Lu Xueqi's face was slightly pale, and her slender and delicate hand also held Tianya tighter. In this abandoned village, there seemed to be someone's eyes quietly watching her.

She even had the feeling that she couldn't breathe.

But she never stopped, just walked quietly, walked past every house, and once upon a time, who remembered the people here?

Until, she saw the ruined temple.

Different from the surrounding environment, the ruined temple that has long been dilapidated, for some reason, there is no grass, it is said to be a room, in fact, it is more appropriate to say that it is a few pillars, but it is only poured on the broken stones left on the ground, and according to the appearance of rare gods, it is possible to see where this place once was.

Lu Xueqi walked over slowly.

There are no weeds, no moss, everything here seems out of place with the surroundings, I don't know what it is, even the weeds that grow so tenaciously don't want to enter here.

Or is it that all the resentments and resentments of the past are gathered in this place?

So in the dead of night, will anyone cry and whisper and talk about the past?

Lu Xueqi turned around suddenly, and at some point, tears flashed in her eyes.

Caomiao Village!

This place has long since been lost......

She sat quietly in the corner, motionless, as if she was quietly listening to something, or feeling something.

In the distance, the wind blew, blowing her black hair, gently fluttering around her sideburns.

※※※

The sun rises and the moon sets, morning and dusk, day and night, morning and twilight, and the stars change.

The white clouds on the sky are like dogs, disappearing like meteors, and time is like water, after all, they are so resolute that they never stop for anyone.

In the weeds in the distance, the sound of insects chirping could be heard from nowhere, except for the sound of the wind, which was the most vibrant sound here. Perhaps, in another ten years, this place will become a thriving place again?

Or, the same as before.

Who cares?

For three days, Lu Xueqi sat quietly in this remote place for three days, restrained by the world and responsible for a lot of responsibility, but it turned out that only in such a place did she have a place to breathe and escape.

Quietly, just indulge yourself and let yourself hide.

It's just that she still has to go after all.

The white clothes swayed, and quietly came, Lu Xueqi's figure reappeared, leaving the dilapidated small temple, and walking through the doors of the huts under the ruins and broken walls again.

In the distant sky, the sky is fluttering, and the clouds are faint, as if blown by the wind, and a white line quietly crosses the sky. Lu Xueqi took one last look at these houses, turned around and left, never looking back, the fluttering figure in white clothes walked away quietly in the wild grass.

Above the sky, the white clouds were still silent.

But from the clouds, suddenly a swift glimmer of light swept out, silently and quickly, with a few lingering white clouds on the clouds, scattered in the air. Soon, the light fell on the abandoned village.

"Squeak, squeak......"

The familiar monkey call, the three-eyed gray-haired monkey jumped to the ground and looked around, apparently coming to this wild place was far more pleasant than being in the belly of the Fox Mountain. In a few moments, the monkey sprang off of his own accord and burrowed into the thick weeds, not knowing where to go.

Ghostly, standing silently in the center of this village, his face expressionless.

In addition to the tiredness and pain in his eyes, he couldn't hide it. [Learning Corner: http://.] ]

He looked at everything around him in a daze, turned around slowly, the once familiar place, everything slowly emerged in his mind, even the wind blowing in the distance, there was a hint of familiarity.

The fragrance of the land of the homeland......

And in the distance behind him, behind the dense weeds, the white, slightly lonely figure finally disappeared into the distance.

He walked slowly, and the things that had been imprinted in Lu Xueqi's eyes also appeared in front of him, ruins and broken walls, mossy stone steps, and finally, the dilapidated small temple.

It's just that he didn't walk over, he just looked at the small temple from afar, stunned, it was there that changed a teenager's life!

He stood and looked for a long time, but after a long time he turned around, stepped on the weeds on the ground, and walked down the path where the distance between the houses could barely be distinguished. He walked slowly, as if each step was heavy, until he stopped in front of the third cabin in the second row.

It was a house that was no different from other dilapidated houses, with the same doors and windows falling off, the same desolate and abandoned, and even the moss on the stone steps seemed to be more than the others.

The ghostly lips began to tremble slightly, and for the first time in many years, he could not contain tears in his eyes, and slowly, he knelt down in front of this hut, and buried his head deep in the weeds of the ground in front of this hut.

There was a faint whisper in the wind, struggling with a choked voice:

"Dad, mother......"

Ha Duong City.

After the catastrophe of the beast and demon, the vitality of Heyang City was greatly injured, and there were countless casualties, but after the catastrophe, life always had to pass. People who came into the city from all over the world, as well as those who fled home, made the ancient city gradually lively.

On the most lively street, the best restaurant in Heyang City is still the Shanhaiyuan where Zhang Xiaofan lived when he first went down the mountain, although because of the disaster, it seems that the sound is much colder than ten years ago, after all, people have escaped death, and it is rare to have many thoughts to come here to eat and drink.

But on this day, there was a strange guest in Shanhai Garden. This person is a young woman, who looks beautiful and moving, but under this beautiful face, with a smile, there is a strange feeling that is exciting, as if as long as the woman's water-like eyes are swept away, the bones of the men around her are softened by three points.

It is the nine-tailed sky fox - Xiaobai, who was separated from Ghost Li and Lu Xueqi after the great changes in southern Xinjiang.

She walked into the Shanhaiyuan Restaurant so generously and flatteringly, and for a while, from the shopkeeper to Xiao Er, including the only two tables of guests, they were all stunned, and no one came up to greet her. But fortunately, Xiaobai seemed to have been used to this kind of scene, and he didn't get angry, only smiled slightly, and said, "Is there no one to entertain?"

A word woke up the person in the dream, after all, the shopkeeper was old, and he barely had a little bit of concentration, so he quickly calmed down, and then slapped the back of the head of the shopkeeper who was standing aside in a daze, and said angrily: "The guest is here, why don't you go to greet him?"

The shopkeeper stumbled, I don't know if there was a ghost in his heart, Ai Ai walked up, he didn't dare to be Xiaobai, and said with a smile: "Girl, you, do you want to eat or stay in the hotel?"

Xiaobai thought for a while and said, "Let's eat something first, do you have a seat here?"

The shopkeeper nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, please upstairs." ”

Xiaobai nodded, walked upstairs, and said, "You can find me a quiet place by the window." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Girl, don't worry, you are the only one in the upstairs seat, and you will be given whatever position you want, and it is guaranteed to be quiet, and no one will disturb you." ”

Xiaobai was slightly stunned and said, "How can there be no one, I heard that business here was very good before?"

The shopkeeper had already walked upstairs at this time, and said with a wry smile: "Who said it wasn't, the business was good at the beginning, and everyone in Heyang City came to us to eat and drink." But, I made trouble with that beast demon a while ago, and it made people panic, and there were countless deaths and injuries at the end, so at this time, not many people would want to come here. ”

Xiaobai nodded slowly, sighed softly, and said, "So that's the case, it's no wonder." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper had already taken Xiaobai upstairs to a table by the window and sat down, wiping the table with the rag he had brought with him. Xiaobai sat in his position and looked out the window, only to see pedestrians coming and going on the street, which was quite lively, but most of the people rarely smiled on their faces, but there were more people with sad faces.

Xiao Bai looked at it silently for a moment, and suddenly asked the shopkeeper: "Xiao Er, I asked you something, and you answered me honestly." ”

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Girl, may you ask." ”

Xiao Bai hesitated for a moment and said, "All the people in this Heyang City, of course, including you, do they all hate that beast demon in their hearts?"

The shopkeeper snorted, a look of resentment appeared on his face, and said loudly: "Of course, in this Heyang City, in the midst of that beast and demon disaster, ten rooms and nine emptiness, you go to the street and find someone to ask, I guarantee that he will definitely have relatives who died under the claws of that beast and demon." Pity our people who are defenseless and can't resist, but fortunately, there are immortals on Qingyun Mountain, who showed great mercy and showed their might, and drove away the beast demon that was killed that day, which allowed us to live a human life again. ”

Xiao Bai looked at the excited expression of the shopkeeper, smiled bitterly in his heart, and somehow swept past the figure of the man who was in the depths of the Demon Ancient Cave in Southern Xinjiang, under the residual fire.

Who can say what is right and wrong in this world?

The shopkeeper also seemed to notice that he was a little out of shape, his face turned red, he took a step back, and said in a low voice: "This, I'll talk about this casually, girl, don't take it seriously, you, do you order food?"

Xiaobai smiled and said, "Okay, but you don't need to order any dishes, you go down and tell the shopkeeper to make three or four plates of the side dishes you are good at here, and in addition, you can bring ten pots of good wine." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned and said, "Ten pots?"

Xiaobai glanced at him, nodded and said, "Ten pots." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Girl, do you still have friends who want to come, if there are any, I can add some dishes and chopsticks in advance." ”

Xiaobai smiled: "Don't think about it, just me, I need ten pots of wine, you serve it quickly, don't ask about the rest." ”

The shopkeeper retreated, but there was obviously an unbelievable look in his eyes, in fact, he couldn't be blamed, ordinary people are the most powerful, the amount of wine is only one or two pots, and a large number of people who can drink four pots or five pots are not wine fairies but also drunkards, but this charming and infinite woman is obviously an "ordinary person" who can't be measured by common sense.

Because there were not many customers, soon, the shopkeeper had already brought up the dishes that Xiaobai wanted and placed them on the table, and the wine jug engraved with Shanhaiyuan on the outside of the ten pots was neatly placed at the other end of the wine table after a while.

Fortunately, this is a time when the business of the restaurant is light, otherwise if it is lively, I am afraid that it will not attract the guests of the whole restaurant to watch?

The shopkeeper went down quickly, and only Xiaobai was left in the seat. She poured herself a drink, and soon, a pot of fine wine was already visible, and on her cheeks, but a faint pink color appeared, not half of the wine, but a little more enchanting.

"Alas......"

Suddenly, so softly, she sighed.

The wine is as pure as amber, thin as a thread, poured into the wine glass from the spout of the pot, splashing a subtle splash, Xiaobai stared at the wine glass in front of him, looking at the faint reflection of himself on the water surface, gently shaking.

Then she smiled, with a hint of bitterness in her smile, and picked up her glass and drank it down.

Outside the window, people make all kinds of sounds and bustle through, and those voices sound very distant, as if they are in another world.

She set aside the sixth empty flask.

The gentle red on her cheeks reflected her ageless and eternal beauty, and her eyes were still clear.

Never drunk and drunk, not drunk!

Her bright teeth bit her lower lip slightly, and alone, smiled lowly, then shook her head and raised her hand to pour wine.

On the street outside the window, for some reason, it seemed that the noise suddenly became a little louder, Xiaobai frowned, moved to the window, and looked towards the street. This glance swept away, she was suddenly stunned, only to see a woman in white walking slowly on the street downstairs, with a beautiful appearance and a fairy, but who is it not Lu Xueqi?

The surrounding people seemed to be attracted by Lu Xueqi's peerless appearance, but they were intimidated by her cold temperament, so they didn't dare to step forward directly, and gathered onlookers from afar to watch and discuss, but this was the reason. Xiaobai looked at Lu Xueqi's figure, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Life is really everywhere......" She muttered to herself with such a smile in her mouth, then stood up, looking like she wanted to take the initiative to greet Lu Xueqi, but she stood up, and suddenly her expression was stunned, and her eyes left Lu Xueqi under the street in a blink of an eye, and floated to a remote corner in the distance of Heyang City.

A familiar black figure flashed quickly, and then disappeared into another dark corner, and just a moment later, another gray figure, which was not unfamiliar to her, chased away.

Xiao Bai looked at the corner for a while, and then a sneering smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Today is really a coincidence, if you don't join in the fun, you should really be sorry for yourself, and even more sorry for that Shangguan old ghost, hehe, hehe......"

In the sneer, her figure suddenly disappeared from the elegant seat upstairs of Shanhaiyuan like a ghost, and after a long time, the shopkeeper came up to clean up, only to see a silver ingot on the table, and six empty wine jugs, and four jugs, but they had disappeared.

On the street, Lu Xueqi's figure, at some point, suddenly disappeared from the street.
