At the foot of Qingyun Mountain, the ruins of Caomiao Village.

rì rises rì falls, day and night change, but Lu Xueqi doesn't remember how many times she has been here. In the past ten years, she has been full of lovesickness and bitter affection, and it seems that she has suddenly completely lost control, she can't and doesn't want to endure it anymore, every day and every night, she has to accompany that man, accompany him, if there is a future, then forever!

Ghostly, no, it should be said that it is Zhang Xiaofan, at least in Lu Xueqi's eyes, he has never changed, and now the haggard and sad man is gently held in his arms, still motionless and confused.

These days, Lu Xueqi has also thought of various methods, trying to wake up Zhang Xiaofan from the nightmare of the demons, but all of them failed, and in the end, Lu Xueqi also temporarily gave up her efforts, perhaps, only she can really understand the damage in the heart of the ghost at this moment.

So she no longer tried to wake him up, just quietly accompanied him and hugged him. The two of them, just like this, sat quietly in the ruins of Caomiao Village, watching the early morning rise, watching the sunset set, watching the bright moon rise into the sky, and watching the stars. The wind of the wilderness blew, with the fragrance of grass everywhere, gently blowing on their faces.

Somehow, there was even a hint of guilt in her heart, but Lu Xueqi really felt a kind of happiness from her heart. With the person she loves, this simple thing, but she endured ten years of light yīn, bearing the heavy pressure like a mountain, at such a moment, she finally completely broke free from the shackles, threw away all the shackles, just for him.

The breeze brings a burst of coolness.

Another night has come.

The two of them leaned against the broken wall and sat quietly, and the weeds next to them moved twice, as if there was something foreign, but Lu Xueqi didn't take a second look, and sure enough, after a while, Xiao Ash's figure jumped out of the grass, jumped a few times and jumped on the broken wall where Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan were leaning, and sat down.

The cloth belts that Xiaobai bandaged him were gone, and most of the exposed injuries were healed, and it seemed that they were torn off by Xiao Ash himself, but at this moment, I saw the monkey sitting on the broken wall, spreading his hands, and a large number of wild fruits, scattered with his hands, and plopped down a lot, most of which smashed on Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan.

Zhang Xiaofan didn't react, and Lu Xueqi's head was also smashed a few, although it was not painful, it was not very elegant, which was very incompatible with her cold temperament. Lu Xueqi looked at the wild fruits that had fallen to the ground, looked up at the monkey on the broken wall, Xiao Ash suddenly jumped up, took a few steps back, and his eyes were full of jǐng tizhi sè, but he still held several wild fruits in his hand and chewed them in his mouth.

I don't know if it's because the monkey and Lu Xueqi don't get along well, anyway, it seems that in the eyes of Xiao Gray, Zhang Xiaofan is hugged by this woman in white and seems to be very unpleasant to it, but Lu Xueqi has also seen it in the way, although he made a provocative move, but he is still quite a little jealous.

When Xiao Gray's three eyes were staring at Lu Xueqi, the woman in white, who had never been close to the fireworks in the world, suddenly smiled at it, this smile was like a chūn warm flower, chūn wind was warm, where was there still the slightest hint of her cold to people.

Lu Xueqi didn't get angry, but didn't seem to be in a bad mood, smiled at Xiao Ash, picked up a wild fruit from the ground, and said softly: "You picked it back, thank you." ”

Xiao Ash was obviously stunned by Lu Xueqi's strange reaction for a while, and after a while, the three eyes rolled for a long time, grinned, and laughed dryly, and sat back on the broken wall, eating wild fruits by himself.

Lu Xueqi smiled at the monkey and looked back, for her, how could that cold appearance be innate?

Her eyes fell on Zhang Xiaofan's face, and she said softly, "Xiaofan, eat something." ”

Zhang Xiaofan's eyes didn't know where to look, but he was blank and empty. Without speaking, without nodding or shaking his head, Lu Xueqi seemed to have known that he would react like this, and he was not annoyed, he smiled softly, lowered his head and stretched out his white and slender fingers, carefully peeling off the skin of the wild fruit. Since these rìzi, Zhang Xiaofan has been like this, Xiao Ash will often go to find some wild fruits to come back, Lu Xueqi peeled the peel like this, put it in his mouth, and then Zhang Xiaofan would occasionally eat one or two petals like a mechanical reaction.

However, what does it matter? Lu Xueqi thought faintly in her heart, she had been waiting for ten years, as long as she could be with him, no matter how long it was, she would not care.

She lowered her head and carefully peeled it, and suddenly the corner of her eye swept an object, she was stunned for a moment, and slowly put down the wild fruit in her hand. Zhang Xiaofan sat down and didn't react, but his hand has been clenched into this fist since these rì, and Lu Xueqi also found out about this, but he didn't care, but at this time, he suddenly saw that Zhang Xiaofan's palm seemed to have something, revealing a corner.

She frowned slightly, put down the wild fruit in her hand, pulled up Zhang Xiaofan's arm, and reached out to break his fingers to see the things in his palm clearly, who knew that although Zhang Xiaofan still looked dazed, but his palm was actually held extremely tightly, Lu Xueqi couldn't break it, so she could only raise her hand slightly, and barely looked in, but only saw that Zhang Xiaofan was still holding it in his hand even so, which turned out to be a piece of broken clothes with water green sè.

Lu Xueqi silently looked at the small piece of rag, and slowly put Zhang Xiaofan's hand down, her face brushed a trace of gloom, but then she took a deep breath, and when she turned to Zhang Xiaofan again, her eyes were full of tenderness.

Gently, stretching out her hand, Lu Xueqi hugged Zhang Xiaofan in her arms, the breeze blew, and the hair on her sideburns fluttered gently, and a few strands fell on Zhang Xiaofan's face.

"Xiao Fan, it's going to be fine, it's going to be okay...... she smiled, although there were faint tears in her eyes, her voice was still gentle and low.

"A long, long time ago, when I was a child, I remember my mother holding me. Also to see the stars on such a night. Lu Xueqi slowly raised her head and looked at the night sky, where the sky was like ink, and the stars were twinkling, shining in the night sky, "She told me that although everyone is going to die, if you are a good person, after you die, you will become a star, and you will live well in the sky, and every night, they will look at us from the sky." ”

"She's a good person, isn't she? Then she might be watching you from the sky, Xiaofan...... Either way, she wouldn't want you to be the way you are, you say......"

Zhang Xiaofan was lying in Lu Xueqi's arms, and his stiff body seemed to tremble.

Lu Xueqi smiled lightly, two lines of tears slipped silently, under the starlight, her beautiful face seemed to have a strange poignancy in the tears, but her hands hugged the man in her arms more tightly.

Tightly, hugging him.

That's all it takes!

"!"

Suddenly, a shout came from the side, with the boss's impatience and faint anger in the voice. Lu Xueqi was taken aback, and looked to the side, only to see a plump and beautiful woman standing aside, with charming eyebrows, it was Xiaobai. Xiao Ash behind Lu Xueqi screamed with joy, was very happy, jumped off the broken wall, rushed to Xiaobai's side and climbed up a few times, sat on her shoulder, grinned, obviously favored Xiaobai, compared to Lu Xueqi, it is not the same as Lu Xueqi.

But at this moment, Lu Xueqi naturally didn't care about any monkeys, she frowned, a little confused, and said to the little white who suddenly appeared: "What?"

Xiao Baifen's face was pale, and it seemed that he was not very angry, but his expression was quite complicated under a closer look, and there was a faint sense of heartache under the anger, so he heard her say coldly: "If a person dies, he will die, at most he will become a yīn soul, and he will enter the underworld and enter reincarnation, how can there be any nonsense about turning into stars!"

These words were said in person, but it was really unpleasant, even if Lu Xueqi had always been grateful to Xiaobai for telling her the truth of the matter and the ghost in this ruins, she couldn't help but sink her face. Just before Lu Xueqi could speak, Xiaobai had already stepped forward, but he didn't look at Lu Xueqi, only stared at Zhang Xiaofan and said coldly:

"How long do you want to go on like this, do you want to live like this for the rest of your life?"

Xiaobai asked in a frightened voice, Lu Xueqi's face moved, revealing a little unbearable, opened her mouth to speak, but she endured it again, but her hands seemed to be distressed, and she hugged Zhang Xiaofan tighter.

Zhang Xiaofan was scolded by Xiao Bai Lisheng, and the muscles on his face jumped, but Shang immediately closed his eyes again, and regained his self-contained appearance. Xiaobai looked at him like this, and seemed to be even more angry, so he grabbed Zhang Xiaofan's collar and picked him up, Lu Xueqi screamed in a lost voice and said: "Don't, don't be like this, he, he can't stand it......"

Xiao Bai sneered and said, "I'm going to scold him to wake him up, no, I don't just want to scold him, I also want to wake him up!" The speaker didn't wait for Lu Xueqi to react, Xiao Bai suddenly raised his palm, and slapped Zhang Xiaofan twice in front of Lu Xueqi.

"Smack!"

The slap was crisp and loud, Zhang Xiaofan's face suddenly swollen under the two red palm prints, and bright red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and the whole person was beaten backwards. Lu Xueqi was taken aback, where could she take care of so much, hurriedly grabbed it, pushed Xiaobai away, hugged Zhang Xiaofan, and wiped it for him with her own cuffs without caring about the blood. Stroking the palm prints on the two injured cheeks, Lu Xueqi's heart ached, she opened her eyes and glared at Xiaobai, and said angrily: "Are you crazy?"

Xiao Baishang seemed to be deaf to Lu Xueqi's words, just stared at Zhang Xiaofan, whose body trembled slightly, and said coldly: "What are you like this, pretending to be a ghost half-dead all day long, or are you somehow thinking of what method to use to mourn Baguio? I sue you, don't be an idiot, it's useless to do this, Baguio is dead, she is dead!"

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a desperate roar burst out from Lu Xueqi's arms, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly pushed her away, and rushed towards Xiaobai like an angry and injured beast, who knew that Xiaobai stood there and didn't dodge at all, and when the ghost roared and rushed closer, she didn't retreat but stepped forward, and threw it over with another slap.

"Smack!"

The louder voice suddenly echoed in the ruins of Caomiao Village, and Zhang Xiaofan's whole person was beaten to the side, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, staining the placket on his chest red. Xiaobai's face seemed to have a trace of pain, but she gritted her teeth, and her spirit became more severe, and she rushed to the side of the ghost who was unable to breathe on the ground, grabbed his shirt, and shouted angrily:

"Wake up, even if you do this until you die, Baguio won't come back to life. Do you think that you can show your remorse in this way? Do you want to torture yourself with this method to make yourself feel better? I sue you, it's useless!"

Zhang Xiaofan closed his eyes tightly, his body trembled violently, and he gasped frantically, and even his lips seemed to have lost blood.

Crystal tears slipped quietly, but this time, it flowed out of Xiaobai's eyes, she bit her lip tightly, two lines of tears also flowed through her cheeks, kept flowing, and her voice was already choked:

"What do you think Baguio went to save you for, did it mean to see you live your life like this today? Baguio's death has nothing to do with you, and if you go on like this, Baguio's spirit in the sky will not rest in peace, do you understand?"

Xiaobai grabbed him, slowly knelt beside him, as if using his last strength, hoarsely voiced, and said to him word by word:

"Live, live well, this is what Baguio wants to see!"

After saying that, as if she couldn't bear it any longer, she suddenly stood up and turned around, and strode out of the place. Lu Xueqi has been standing silently next to her since just now, and when Xiaobai strode past her, Lu Xueqi suddenly said softly, "Thank you!"

Xiao Bai's face was still stained with tears, his body paused, and in Lu Xueqi's view, the figures of the two beautiful women reflected each other in the moonlight, and after a while, they gently stretched out their palms and shook them together.

Xiaobai's face, behind the tears, showed a faint smile and nodded to Lu Xueqi. But he did not speak again, but strode away.

After her figure disappeared into the darkness, Lu Xueqi slowly walked to Zhang Xiaofan's side, squatted down, and slowly hugged him in her arms. Zhang Xiaofan's body trembled, and he slowly raised his head and looked at Lu Xueqi.

His eyes seemed to return to the old days in an instant, the deep pain and endless scars in them, he was like a child, his lips trembled, and the corners of his eyes were full of tears.

"Baguio...... Gone ......."

He trembled at Lu Xueqi, tears finally burst out of his eyes, like an injured child finally crying, decades of grief could no longer be endured, he grabbed Lu Xueqi's shoulders, hugged her in his arms, cried loudly, and choked in his mouth.

"Baguio is gone...... Baguio is gone...... Baguio ...... Gone ......."

Lu Xueqi never thought that this strong man would be so fragile in front of her, but at this moment, there was only tenderness left in her heart. She hugged him tightly, desperately trying to comfort the crying heart with every trace of warmth in her body, and behind the hot tears, she kept whispering, to the man, and to herself.

"It's going to be fine, it's going to be okay......"

This night seemed extraordinarily long and sad.

After that night, Zhang Xiaofan woke up from the nightmare of the demons, but it didn't take long for him to have a high fever again.

With his current behavior, there would never be any illness-ridden things in Pingrì, but at the moment, the fever was burning all over his body, and he was unconscious. Lu Xueqi knew in his heart that his serious illness was actually caused by severe pain in his heart, and Baguio's death was the introduction, but most of the heart disorders that Zhang Xiaofan had worked hard to support in the past ten years were the root cause of the serious illness, but no one could cure it.

Sure enough, even if Lu Xueqi exhausted all kinds of methods, he gave Zhang Xiaofan any elixir, but it was like a mud cow entering the sea, with no effect at all, and this big fever was unimaginably violent, and the fever did not subside for ten years. And now, even Zhang Xiaofan is already haggard, and he feels haggard anymore, and he looks a little skinny.

Lu Xueqi was very anxious in her heart, she didn't guard Zhang Xiaofan's side for ten days and nights, and she looked obviously thin, maybe she saw her infatuation, God finally opened her eyes and showed mercy, and when Lu Xueqi was about to despair on the eleventh day, Zhang Xiaofan's high fever finally subsided.

Although the fever subsided, Zhang Xiaofan was still unconscious, despite this, Lu Xueqi was still greatly relieved, this mood relaxed a little from the tension, and a wave of exhaustion surged into her heart from every corner of her body, she forced herself to tidy up the placket of the ghost's clothes, and then leaned on the ghost's side and fell asleep deeply.

There was a faint reassuring smile on her beautiful face, and even when she was asleep, her hand was grasping the ghostly shoulder, and the breeze blew through the ruins of Caomiao Village, and the grass fluttered, hugging their bodies. Heaven and earth are lonely, and only this forgotten corner of the world seems to have a strange kind of peace and happiness.

This sleep, but I don't know how long I slept, the stars shifted, her eyes were full of flowers, vaguely in a dream, she saw a qiē that she had dreamed of!

Be with your loved one for a lifetime......

Then, she woke up.

With a happy smile on the corner of her mouth, she opened her eyes gently, and the body beside her was really still there, he was sleeping peacefully, and his breath was beside her.

Lu Xueqi didn't move, as if this was her favorite appearance, she leaned quietly beside him, listening to his sleeping breathing.

Suddenly, at this moment, in the direction of Qingyun Mountain in the distance, there was a violent explosion in the sky, and then a huge firework bloomed. Lu Xueqi's face changed slightly, frowned, and slowly sat up and turned her head to look.

The fireworks slowly changed into a long sword in the sky, and it did not disperse for a long time, which was a signal that was rarely used in the Qingyun Gate, and it would only be used when a serious change occurred in the door and it was extremely critical, and it would be used when all the nearby disciples were summoned. Lu Xueqi was silent for a moment, turned her eyes back to Zhang Xiaofan for a moment, slowly stood up, hesitated for a while, and finally reached out to take Tianya, which was leaning on the broken wall on the side, and floated out.

The wind is still blowing, and the grass is blowing back and forth the same.

Zhang Xiaofan fell asleep quietly in the grass, and in the depths of the grass on the side, a head suddenly poked out, but it was a gray-haired monkey with three eyes, turned his head and looked around, "squeaked" twice, and seemed to be a little surprised that Lu Xueqi was suddenly missing here, and then jumped on Zhang Xiaofan's chest, touched his head, and sat down.

Zhang Xiaofan was still sleeping quietly, but on his right hand, his fingers trembled slightly.

After about half a cup of tea, there was a soft sound at the entrance of the ruins of Caomiao Village, and then the figure of Lu Xueqi, who was a watcher, appeared there and walked towards the place where Zhang Xiaofan was sleeping. Xiao Ash, who was sitting on Zhang Xiaofan's chest, made a grimace at Lu Xueqi, jumped down, and squatted aside to look around.

"Xiaofan...... Something went wrong. Her voice, which sounded so empty, seemed to have no strength at all, said faintly: "Just now I saw the emergency signal of the sect to summon the disciples, and I went over to take a look, it turned out that we were here in this section, and something big had happened outside. The Ghost King Sect where you used to be, the sect master Ghost King didn't know what evil magic weapon he had obtained, and he could actually steal people's hearts and minds and use them for his use, and what was even more terrifying was that it was said that he hid in a huge red shadow and blood, as long as the red shadow went, whether it was ordinary people or people who had attained the true Dao, they would turn into the living dead who had no mind and were driven by him. ”

Lu Xueqi's face was pale, and her hand gently clenched Tianya, but when she looked at Zhang Xiaofan, there was still a feeling of tenderness and reluctance: "The righteous sects have launched several encirclement and suppression against him before, but all of them have been wiped out, not to mention the vitality of each faction, the most terrible thing is that most of the people are ...... was robbed of his mind by his red mang, and became the slave thug of the ghost king, and in turn killed the decent. For example, today's righteous path is not an army, and the ghost king has approached the foot of Qingyun Mountain, showing his demon method, and even confusing the people in Qingyun Mountain, including the large and small towns and villages in Heyang City, plus those people before, the total number is not less than 100,000, and it seems that he is about to attack Qingyun Mountain. ”

She looked at Zhang Xiaofan's face in a daze, and suddenly, two lines of tears slipped from her eyes, and the tears fell and landed on the back of Zhang Xiaofan's palm.

"I wanted to ignore a qiē, and I wanted to stay with you for a long time a few times, and accompany me for a lifetime, even if I was spurned by the world and punished by the teacher, I didn't care. But now, but now......" Her lips trembled slightly, and she slowly lowered her head, "But now Qingyun is in trouble! I was raised by Qingyunmen since I was a child, and it was the city government who loved me and taught me, and my kindness is like a mountain." If it was just for us to be together, even if I was scolded and spit on by them, I would be willing, but now they are in trouble, I ...... I can only go back and be with them. ”

Lu Xueqi looked at Zhang Xiaofan's face deeply, did not take her eyes off for a moment, and seemed to be unwilling to give up at a glance, the breeze came, and her clothes fluttered gently.

"Maybe you don't know that Qingyunmen is secretly in civil strife, and the once invincible 'Zhuxian Sword Array' can no longer be activated, this battle is just ...... I'm afraid it's really bad luck, and I don't know if I can come back to see you. ”

Lu Xueqi took a deep breath, stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and then, a slightly bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, looked at Zhang Xiaofan and said in a low voice: "Xiaofan, I don't know if it's providence, we always have no fate to stay together." But," she paused, and after a moment, in a deep but firm voice, she said quietly, "but I have never regretted it!"

After that, she leaned down and gently kissed Zhang Xiaofan's lips, and the warm feeling of her lips seemed to spread all over her body.

A faint, blissful feeling......

She smiled, bit her lip, stood up, took one last look at the sleeping man, and turned away, but she walked so well that her body often looked like she wanted to turn back and look again, but in the end, she didn't look back again.

Perhaps, even she knew that if she looked back, she would never have the courage to leave again.

Dressed in white, she finally left.

The wind and grass were blowing, with a clear fragrance, Xiao Ash quietly walked over, climbed on Zhang Xiaofan's chest and sat down, silently looking at the distant white sè's back. Under it, on Zhang Xiaofan's palm, his fingers moved lightly again.

The breeze has been blowing, time has passed quietly, and Caomiao Village has fallen into a long silence again, the day has passed, the night has come, the stars have fallen, and the vicissitudes of life have been seen.

Xiao Ash sat on Zhang Xiaofan's chest, looking a little sleepy, opened his mouth and yawned, and squeaked a few times in his mouth. Then, as if it suddenly felt something, its eyes rolled and looked at Zhang Xiaofan under it.

A low wheezing sound came, and then, Zhang Xiaofan slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing that catches your eye is an endless firmament, dotted with countless stars shining in the deep darkness. He didn't move, just lay still, staring at the sky.

Ash seemed to be a little puzzled beside him, and crawled over to look at it, but then shrank back again. The night breeze is blowing, and the grass is floating. That deep darkness has been the same for thousands of years, and compared with it, a person's life is just a fleeting moment compared to the moon like a firefly.

Perhaps, it is the ancients who understood this, and they will tirelessly pursue immortality!

But what if it is an empty shell, even if it is immortal?

His expression was very calm, calm as he had never been, no more sadness or excitement, he just silently looked up at the sky.

The sky is infinite, the stars are moving, the heavens and the earth are silent, only the sound of the wind is blowing in the faint place.

Before I knew it, the sky was bright.

But when the morning light fell and the last darkness disappeared, Zhang Xiaofan closed his eyes. He lay quietly like this for a long, long time, until his head rose and the warm sun shone on him, and he opened his eyes again, and this time, he stood up.

Standing in place, he looked around, the ruins lost in the weeds were desolate but kind, there were many places that had been deeply engraved in his heart many years ago and would never be erased, and how many places were places where he used to run and play and leave simple happiness in his childhood.

He walked along, his footsteps on the grass, silently. Next to him, Ash jumped over, grabbed him by the placket of his shirt and climbed onto his shoulder and sat down.

"Woo......"

The wind blowing from behind seemed to be stronger, making a whistling sound, and the grass around him rose and fell with the wind, like waves. The ruins and ruins, like silent but gentle people, stared at him. He walked to the north of the village, where there was a ruin, even more dilapidated, and from a distance, the outline still vaguely looked like a dilapidated small temple.

This time, Ghost Li stood for a long time, and he stared deeply at the ruins of the small temple, and after a long time, a faint and kind smile appeared on his lips. The smile was gentle, and there was no trace of resentment and regret.

Then he turned around and walked away like this, never looking back again.

"Let's go, Ash. ”

"Squeak squeak," Ash whispered over his shoulder, touching his head.

He smiled faintly, greeted the oncoming breeze, and smiled, "Let's go where we need to go." ”

His eyes moved, looking into the distance, the towering Qingyun Mountain, piercing the sky.

On the Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain, there is a busy scene everywhere, but near the back mountain, it seems more secluded, and there is not even a figure, I think it is because of the strong enemy pressing the realm, and the Dao Xuan Zhenren who is a center of gravity has disappeared for no reason, so no one will notice this.

In the afternoon, when the rì light sprinkled into the secluded woods of the back mountain, the ghost was already walking in the quiet mountain forest road. It was not the first time he had come to the mountain behind Tongtian Peak, counting that he had fallen back and forth several times, and he was already familiar with the nearby terrain, but looking at his expression, he was not a little careful and anxious, and his face was still walking slowly with the calm smile that he had since he woke up.

The mountain road is rugged, the ancient trees on both sides are forested, the forest is deep and there are a few birdsong sounds from time to time, and the ghostly eyes turn from the forest to the ground and look ahead, the winding and stretching ancient road, I don't know how many past events have happened on it.

The mountains and forests are quiet, the wind is customary, and it seems that there is no trace of human vulgarity.

The familiar three-way intersection in his memory slowly appeared in front of him, Zhang Xiaofan stopped at the intersection, and looked to the right unexpectedly, behind the layers of dense forests, in the gaps of dense branches and leaves, a corner of the majestic ancestral hall was faintly revealed. He smiled and turned to step down the path.

The intersection is not far from the ancestral hall, and soon the solemn hall will soon appear, but Zhang Xiaofan did not go to the open space, he just stood quietly behind a big tree with lush foliage next to the mountain road, looking in that direction.

The hall was still so dim, and the stone steps and open space in front of the door were still covered with dead leaves like countless past rìzi. After a while, out of the hall came a white figure, handsome and magnificent, with a peaceful smile on his face, and instead of a sharp sword, he was a broom made of bamboo.

He glanced at the fallen leaves everywhere, but a slight smile appeared on his face, he raised his hands and stretched his waist, took a deep breath of the slightly sweet air in the mountains and forests, and then began to quietly clean the fallen leaves on the ground.

The broom flew one after another, and the fallen leaves were swept aside little by little, and occasionally some of them were blown up by the wind like disobedient children, stubbornly wanting to return to their original places, but they were also swept back again with a smile.

The wind blows through the mountains and forests, and the forest waves gust.

In the distance, behind the big tree, Zhang Xiaofan quietly looked at the familiar white figure, revealing a knowing and quiet smile.

Above the clearing, Lin Jingyu seemed to suddenly feel something, paused in his hand, turned to look at the mountain road leading to the outside world, but the mountain road was empty, except for the ancient trees and shrubs, where were there any other traces?

He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly and laughed, maybe he heard it wrong, thinking like this, he picked up the broom and swept it again.

Behind the dense forest in the distance, Zhang Xiaofan walked slowly, gradually moving away from the ancestral hall behind him, and soon, he came to the three-way junction again. This time, he looked in the direction of the Phantom Moon Cave Mansion, and without any hesitation, he stepped past the forbidden land and walked slowly.

He could not more clearly feel that in the depths of the Phantom Moon Cave Mansion, there seemed to be a mysterious force constantly calling him to go to that place.

This feeling was already very strong when he was still in the ruins of Caomiao Village!

Standing in front of the Phantom Moon Cave Mansion, Zhang Xiaofan stopped and stared at the mysterious place in front of him.

The appearance of this stone cave is no different from other ordinary mountain caves in the world, the rough stone and the hard ground, the slight difference is probably only the ground in front of the cave door has been trampled on smoothly in the depths of the years, showing the wind and frost here.

From that small stone gate, there has been a generation of Qingyun Gate Tianjiao Qingye Dao people, there have been countless people who have left their footprints here in the past years, this Phantom Moon Cave Mansion is really a witness to the rise and fall of Qingyun Gate for two thousand years.

And now, in front of Zhang Xiaofan, it is just an ordinary stone cave.

He smiled and walked in, as if he were coming home, without the slightest hesitation or hesitation.

The sunlight outside the cave was blocked by the stone wall, and it could not shine inside the stone cave, and the cave looked very cool, and the simple scene was just like when he first came here, and even the Tai Chi pattern hanging on the wall was exactly the same as the original.

Zhang Xiaofan walked over, put his hand on the Taiji diagram, and the faint light shone brightly, it was the Xuangong true method of the Qingyunmen Sect, in the clear light, the Taiji diagram slowly reacted, lit up, and after a while, as he expected, the mountain wall next to it slowly moved away, revealing the gate of white mist that rotated like strange water waves.

Zhang Xiaofan stared at the seemingly unfathomable swirling water waves, the last time he entered it, he was tempted by the mysterious power contained in it, and almost fell into a place of no return, and now facing it again, the depths of the deep water waves, as if there was a faint erosion force, making people have the illusion of falling into it.

He took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, and stepped inside.

A sense of coolness rushed towards him, as if he had really stepped into a world of deep water, but after a while, Zhang Xiaofan found himself like the previous time again, surrounded by a world of emptiness and nothingness.

It was dark, boundless, there was no light, and the little gray lying on his shoulder at no end was a little uneasy, moved, and screamed twice in his mouth, Zhang Xiaofan gently stretched out his hand and patted the monkey's head, as if comforting it, and the little gray immediately quieted down.

Then, Zhang Xiaofan looked ahead, but there was nothing in his eyes except darkness, he looked at it for a long time, and he didn't move, until finally, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his mouth, but he closed his eyes and walked forward.

After only a few steps, suddenly the death-like silence had been broken, [boom], a blazing breath rushed towards him, Zhang Xiaofan could even clearly feel that he was like walking into a sea of fire, the skin and flesh of his whole body were being burned by the sudden flames, and the sharp pain was surging madly from every corner of the body, and the whole body seemed to be about to be destroyed in this sea of fire.

But his eyes were still closed, and even when the muscles on his face were slightly twisted in intense pain, the corners of his mouth remained faintly smiling. Step by step, he walked forward slowly, but continuously.

On the shoulder, the monkey Xiao Ash let out a somewhat frightened cry, sounding very frightened, but Zhang Xiaofan immediately hugged it in his arms, so that Xiao Ash's head was buried deep in his chest and no longer looked out, and soon, it seemed that it was the master's palm and the heartbeat in his chest, which made Xiao Ash quiet and lay motionless.

The sound of the flames burning became louder and louder, and even the air around the body seemed to be filled with a terrifying burning smell, and the pain in the body continued unabated, as if it had to endure a thousand times the pain with every step.

It's just that his footsteps still haven't stopped, and he is walking forward slowly but firmly.

At some point, the sea of flames slowly receded, and around him, there was a silence of vast nothingness again, and the pain in his body disappeared with it.

In the silence, suddenly, a crisp sound of water droplets dripping sounded in his ears, and the cold water droplets came from nowhere, falling from nothingness and falling on Zhang Xiaofan's face.

It's biting cold.

In a moment, there was no warning of the rumbling noise from the front, overwhelming as if it was omnipresent, Zhang Xiaofan's mind clearly depicted in addition to the terrifying scene, the huge waves were like dragons, thousands of feet high, booming, anything that stood in front of the giant power of this heaven and earth was as small as ants, even the majestic Qingyun Mountain was swallowed by it in an instant, the cold wind instantly tore his body apart, and the pain ten times more powerful than the flame burning body just now came from all corners of the body again.

Zhang Xiaofan never knew that a person's body would be tortured so much, and he would feel such intense pain, even his tenacious nerves seemed to collapse before this pain. Thousands of hands were tearing at him, and even he could no longer breathe, as if he was trapped under the deep sea, and the infinite pressure immediately crushed him into powder, turning him into water of silence.

Even if you die, you should open your eyes and look around before you die......

Like a lamp, this thought suddenly appeared in the depths of his heart, flickering in the distance, like a temptation.

Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath and slowly continued to walk forward, closing his eyes tightly!

The waves and chills on all sides seemed to be provoked, and he suddenly became more and more angry, the roar was deafening, and the feeling of torture like a thousand knives followed, Zhang Xiaofan's forehead was even covered with cold sweat, and his face was extremely pale, but he always maintained the residual clarity before the collapse, and still walked slowly.

Step by step, step after step, never stopped, just like life, moving forward slowly, after all, there is no turning back.

The cháo water slowly receded, the deafening and terrible sound disappeared, and the silence returned to him, and in the void, it seemed as if only his footsteps were echoing.

Alone, alone!

"Little Fan ......"

Suddenly, a voice called faintly behind him, and in an instant, Zhang Xiaofan was like being struck by thunder, his body shook violently, and an unbelievable look appeared on his face, it was the first time, and he involuntarily stopped.

His eyes were still closed, but his lips began to tremble slightly, a little choked, a little like a knife, and even a little desperate, and said in a low voice: "Bi Yao......"

The familiar voice seemed to be behind him, with infinite tenderness, with a bit of unforgettable tenderness that haunted him, and said faintly: "Xiaofan, are you ignoring me, you look back at me." ”

Zhang Xiaofan's body began to tremble slowly, and his body seemed to be caught in a fierce battle, and he wanted to turn around several times, but he endured it hard. Although there was no pain and torture, at this moment, he was sweaty and heavy, and his face was distorted, which was even more painful than the terrifying and terrifying fire burning him in the deep sea just now.

A low but clear call, floating behind him, as if it was endless, this life of ups and downs, isn't it just for that voice? Why, not looking back?

"Ah......h

He roared suddenly, his body trembled, his teeth clenched, and his bones rattled all over his body, as if he had finally reached the end of his patience.

However, it seemed that this was not the end of the story, except for Baguio's voice calling out to him behind him, and slowly, he actually heard the voices of other people, those who were all unforgettable people in his life.

Daddy, mother!

Master Puzhi!

Tian is not easy, Su Ru!

......

Endlessly, the voice was layered on top of each other, wave after wave, calling and shouting behind him, and the past of his life flashed like smoke.

Thousands of mountains and rivers, one person treks;

He doesn't want to be lonely, he doesn't want to live forever, all he wants is to be with his beloved......

He hugged his head and cried, like a child, with nowhere to hide.

Tears were dripping, and in the palm of his hand, there was a faint warmth. The endless calls around him, still calling in his ears, lingered, tempting him to open his eyes and turn back.

It's just that the faint warmth suddenly quieted his trembling body, a familiar and warm feeling, as if he had felt it not long ago. There was also a person who, when he was on the verge of collapse, never left his side, hugged him tightly in countless dark nights, and warmed him with the warmth of his body.

Once, in that void and emptiness, he was in a coma, half-asleep, and in a trance, there were warm tears dripping on his face. In a terrible icy world, sue him that he is not alone.

In this life, the thousands of mountains and rivers, the twilight snow and thousands of mountains,

No

Alone!

The countless voices around him suddenly became eager, as if they had been stimulated by something, and continued to call to him with a bit of poignancy, but Zhang Xiaofan's body slowly stood up, and the painful distortion on his face was slowly replaced by a sense of peace.

Then, he smiled lightly, with a deep reluctance to reluctance, with unforgettable thoughts, and smiled faintly. Then he turned and walked, leaving all the voices behind him, letting it scream and then crier in the shriek.

Silence finally fell again.

A gentle cough came from in front of Zhang Xiaofan, it was an old voice, a little fragile, a little surprised, "It turned out to be your ......"

Zhang Xiaofan stood in place, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled a long breath, and slowly opened his eyes.
