The wind is bleak, the ancient road is bleak, and the loneliness extends forward.

Zhou Xian and her granddaughter Xiaohuan had already left Death Ze and traveled east for three days.

In the middle of the day, they were still walking on the ancient road, but the originally flat wilderness on both sides of the ancient road had been replaced by gradually increasing hills and jungles.

Zhou Zhou Xian glanced forward, and saw a broken stone pavilion on the side of the road not far ahead, and just felt tired of walking, so he turned to Xiaohuan and said, "Let's go over and rest." ”

Xiaohuan responded, then glanced back, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Dao Chief, let's go sit down together!"

The Wild Dog Daoist, who had been following them, smiled and nodded. Originally, after the wild dog Taoist left Dead Ze, somehow, he followed Zhou Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan from afar, and at first Zhou Zhou Xian was a little uneasy. But a few days ago, after suddenly meeting the middle-aged man who claimed to be thousands of people on the road, Xiaohuan said a few words to him, and the relationship became closer, and he got closer in the past few days, and followed them directly.

Zhou Zhou Xian walked into the pavilion and watched the wild dog Taoist also follow Xiaohuan in. He was not as polite as Xiaohuan to the wild dog, rolled his eyes, and suddenly said in a strange manner: "I said that the wild dog is the master, why have you been following the two of us? ”

The wild dog Taoist glared at Zhou Xian, and sneered at each other: "Stinky old man, you're pretending to be poor again, don't think I don't know that there is something strange in your bamboo pole!"

Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan were both stunned. Zhou Zhou Xian immediately jumped up as if his butt had been burned by fire, his face was flushed, and he said angrily: "Good guy, old man, I have long known that you are not a good person, and you really covet my money." ”

The wild dog Taoist glanced at him, and before he could speak, he heard Xiaohuan next to him also say with a slight surprise: "Dao Chief, how do you know?"

As soon as Xiaohuan spoke, the wild dog Taoist suddenly lowered his voice somehow, hesitated, and said to Xiaohuan: "He never leaves his bamboo pole every day, and even sleeps in his arms." That's fine, but every time he passes a short while, he always touches the bamboo pole involuntarily, and when he looks like this, an idiot will know that there is something wrong with the bamboo pole. ”

Xiaohuan burst out laughing. Zhou Xian Lao's face turned red, snorted, turned his head, and suddenly felt that this was too embarrassing, and turned his head to the wild dog Taoist and said angrily: "Even if I have a problem with this bamboo pole, it will not be your turn to take care of it." Tell me why you've been following us?"

The wild dog Taoist was stunned and speechless for a while.

Zhou Zhou Xian suddenly became proud, with a smile on his face, and pointed to the wild dog and said: "Ha, don't think that the old man doesn't know, you covet my belongings and the beauty of our family's small ring, and plot against evil all day long......"

"Grandpa!" Xiaohuan's face flushed, and he shouted loudly to Zhou Xian.

Zhou Zhou Xian realized that what he said was wrong, but his old face couldn't be pulled down, and he said, "Say, isn't it ......?"

The wild dog Taoist secretly glanced at Xiaohuan, and saw that the fair skin on the girl's face was white and red at the moment, slightly shy, but her eyes were as bright as stars, shining, and a youthful beauty was really like a rush to her face. The wild dog suddenly felt inferior for no reason and lowered his head.

Xiaohuan glared at Grandpa Zhou Xian. She has been wandering the world with Zhou Xian since she was a child, she has seen a lot of things, and she is naturally more open than ordinary girls, and at this moment she turned her head to the wild dog Daodao: "Dao Chief, don't listen to my grandfather's nonsense, he can't spit out ivory from his dog's mouth......"

Zhou Zhou Xian was furious and said, "You dare to scold grandpa for being a dog, obviously that guy is a wild dog!"

Xiaohuan stuck out her tongue and grimaced at the wild dogs. The wild dog buzzed in his head, only to feel that his eyes were full of this beautiful face, and he couldn't tolerate other colors, and he didn't care about Zhou Xian's ridicule of himself.

Zhou Zhou Xian turned his head angrily and said to the wild dog: "Hey, you haven't said why you want to follow us! If you can say a good reason, the old man will let you follow; if you can't say it, hehe, let you know how good I am!"

The wild dog slowly retracted his gaze, was silent for a long time, and said, "I don't know either. ”

"Ha!" Zhou Xian laughed, his face full of disdain.

Xiaohuan looked at the wild dog Taoist and said with interest: "Dao Chief, what's the matter?

The wild dog smiled bitterly and said, "You're right. Somehow, he seemed to be particularly willing to speak in front of this girl at the moment, and as soon as the words began, he actually said inexplicably: "I have been strange since I was a child, and after I was born, I was thrown into the wilderness by my parents as a monster, and I was left to fend for myself......"

"Ahh Zhou Zhou Xian rolled his eyes and looked incredulous.

The Wild Dog Taoist continued: "Later, I was found by a group of wild dogs, and they didn't eat me, but brought me food and fed me, so when I became sensible, I always called myself a wild dog. ”

Zhou Zhou Xian sneered again beside him, but Xiaohuan was focused and nodded slightly.

The wild dog Taoist also ignored Zhou Xian, smiled at Xiaohuan, and said, "So I haven't had a home since I was a child, if I have to say it, the kennel is my home." Later, one of the seniors of the previous generation of the Blood Refining Hall happened to meet me, and took pity on me for a while, and preached my Taoism, and since then, I have been regarded as my home in the Blood Refining Hall. ”

Zhou Zhou Xian sneered: "Then you should go back to the Blood Refining Hall, why are you still walking outside all day?"

The Wild Dog Daoist lowered his head, his face was gloomy, and he said for a while: "The Blood Refining Hall has been destroyed by the Ghost King Sect, and the one who takes the lead is the ghost Li you have seen." ”

"What?" Zhou Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan were taken aback at the same time. The internal fighting of the Demon Sect was fierce and cruel, but it was not publicized to the outside world, so Zhou Zhou Xian and the others did not know about the annexation of the Blood Refining Hall by the Ghost King Sect. But at the same time, they were surprised, and their reactions were different.

Zhou Zhou Xian frowned, as if he had thought of something, shook his head for a while and sighed, and said, "It's a pity! When the black-hearted old man was here, the Blood Refining Hall was so powerful, alas, ......"

Xiaohuan didn't think about it so much, but after being stunned, he remembered something and said, "Did that ghost lead people to destroy you, so why do you still follow him?"

The corners of the wild dog's mouth twitched, and he slowly explained the matter briefly.

Xiaohuan snorted after hearing this, and said to Zhou Xian: "The old man is too spineless. ”

Zhou Zhou Xian glared at her and said, "At your young age, do you know what backbone is not backbone? If it is a matter of life and death, not everyone has that backbone." ”

The corners of Xiaohuan's mouth twitched, and he said, "Then isn't this wild dog Taoist leader who would rather die than surrender?"

Zhou Zhou Xian glanced at the wild dog, nodded, and said, "I didn't see that you still have this backbone, it's not simple." But over the years, that ghost is known as a blood boy and has killed countless people, why did he just let you go?"

The Wild Dog Daoist shook his head and said, "I don't know either. ”

Zhou Xian was silent, there seemed to be a thoughtful look in his eyes, and his usual hippie smile had gradually disappeared. The Wild Dog Daoist couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Zhou Zhou Xian suddenly show such a look, which was very different from the past, but just as Xiaohuan opened his mouth to speak, his attention was attracted to the past.

Xiaohuan glanced at him twice, and said in a low voice: "Then you follow him all day long, don't you feel uncomfortable?

The wild dog was dazed for a while, then silent, and slowly shook his head for a while, and said blankly: "I don't know either." Originally, I hated this person very much, but in the past few days, I have slowly thought about it, in fact, what's the use of blaming him? Even if it wasn't him, it wasn't the Ghost King Sect, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect and the Hehuan Sect would do the same thing, and the Ghost King Sect was just one step ahead. ”

"Huh?" Xiaohuan didn't speak, but Zhou Zhou Xian let out a slightly surprised voice first, and looked the wild dog Taoist up and down again, quite impressive: "You can actually think of this layer, I underestimate you." ”

The Wild Dog Daoist glanced at Zhou Zhou Xian, obviously not interested in Zhou Zhou Xian's praise. Zhou Xian was bored, smiled, and was not angry.

The wild dog Taoist glanced at Xiaohuan, only to see that her eyes were as bright as water, and her eyes were full of waves, as if she was flowing, it was really moving, I didn't dare to look at it anymore, lowered my head, and said: "I came out of Death Ze that day, and I was very annoyed to stay in the group of people in the Ghost King Sect all day long, especially occasionally I would see the old man and others, and I just happened to see you, I don't know how to follow." ”

The wild dog Taoist suddenly seemed to think of something, quickly raised his head, and said to Xiaohuan: "But I don't have any intention of harming you, and I don't know how, I probably just walk around......! If you don't want to, I'll go now. ”

Xiaohuan smiled slightly and said, "It's okay! Then you can come with us in the future! Anyway, the world is so big, I don't think you have anywhere to go. ”

Zhou Zhou Xian was startled, pulled Xiaohuan and said in a low voice: "Stupid girl, what are you messing with this guy to do with us?"

Xiaohuan glanced at his grandfather and said, "What is this guy and that guy, people have names." Besides, he has no ill intentions, he just walks with us, what's there to be afraid of?"

Zhou Zhou Xian said angrily: "You girl doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, he is a notorious person in the Demon Sect, I heard that he used to ......"

Zhou Zhou Xian suddenly stopped talking, Xiaohuan stared at him, and said, "What happened to him before?

Zhou Zhou Xian scratched his head, thought for a long time, and said, "I don't seem to have heard what he did......"

Xiaohuan burst out laughing, and was about to turn around, Zhou Zhou Xian grabbed Xiaohuan and said, "But it's always no good for you to let this person follow us, right?"

Xiaohuan said lightly: "It seems that when we passed by the barren hill last night, a wild boar came out of the side of the road, grandpa, you are hiding far away, it was this Taoist who rushed up to drive the wild boar away, otherwise I, a weak woman, would have to face a big wild boar alone." ”

Zhou Xian's face turned red, and said: "My old man is old and frail, how can I stop a big wild boar? Besides, are you a weak woman, let alone a wild boar, even if there is a tiger, you are not ......."

Xiaohuan coughed suddenly, and Zhou Zhou Xian didn't continue.

Xiaohuan turned his head, smiled at the wild dog Taoist sitting on the side, and said, "Dao Chief, please take care of it in the future." ”

The wild dog hurriedly got up and said, "No, no, if there is any rough work, you just let me do it." ”

Zhou Xian snorted from afar.

At this moment, a cold and calm voice suddenly came from outside the pavilion, saying, "It turns out that you ran here." ”

The wild dog Daoist body was shocked, and when he turned his head to look, the little ring next to him had already lost his voice and said, "Ah! It's you!"

On the ancient road outside the stone pavilion, there was a young man standing with an expressionless face, and a gray-haired monkey lying on his shoulder, which was none other than Ghost Li.

It was early autumn, and although it was noon, the sun was not as hot as summer, and a cool breeze blew from time to time outside the stone pavilion.

It's just that in the stone pavilion, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent with the arrival of the uninvited guest of Ghost Li.

The wild dog Taoist sat aside with a red and white face, his eyes staring at the ground, and he was really nervous. Ghost Li still stood on the other side with an expressionless face, and he didn't look at the wild dog Daoist much, but instead looked at Zhou Zhou Xian.

Xiaohuan looked at the wild dog Taoist, then at the ghost, and said cautiously for a while: "Well, Zhang ...... Ghost boy, you, why are you here?"

Ghost Li glanced at her and said, "I'm here to find your grandfather." ”

Zhou Xian was stunned and said, "Looking for me?"

Ghost Li nodded and said, "Yes, I would like to ask my seniors a question." ”

Xiaohuan immediately put his mind at ease, secretly smiled at the wild dog, reassured him, and then turned to Ghost Li and said, "Ah! You are such a powerful person, what do you want to ask my grandfather?"

As she was talking, she suddenly saw the little gray on her shoulder, a pair of slippery eyes turning, and she was grinning at herself, and she couldn't help but feel a burst of affection, and said with a smile: "Ha, I was the one who gave you rock sugar gourd to eat that day! Do you remember me?"

"Squeak, squeak. The monkey Xiao Gray shouted for a while, nodded his head, and suddenly jumped up from the ghost Li shoulder and jumped into Xiao Huan's arms. It seems that this monkey has a very good impression of the rock sugar gourd that day.

Xiaohuan smiled, stretched out his hand to catch Xiao Ash, but after it started to sink, it was unexpectedly heavy, and it was almost thrown to the ground. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, and hurriedly strengthened herself, so she stabilized her body and hugged Xiao Ash steadily, but there was a burst of surprise in her heart. It's only a few days of work, and the little gray body hasn't grown much, how can he suddenly weigh more than half of his weight, it's really strange!

Ghost Li saw Xiaohuan teasing Xiao Ash, giggling on the side, very happy, and there seemed to be a faint smile in the depths of his eyes, but then he disappeared and turned his head to face Zhou Xian.

Zhou Zhou Xian shrugged his shoulders and said, "My old man is only nine buckets tall and six cars are rich, so how can I not know anything in the world." But it's surprising that you'd ask my old man for advice. What's the matter, do you say?"

Ghost Li didn't pay attention to his boasting, and said lightly: "That day, in the midst of death, there was a fish-headed monster who attacked your granddaughter, do you remember?"

Zhou Xian was stunned, and the wild dog Dao and Xiaohuan next to him listened to it, and they all looked at it at the same time.

Xiaohuan hugged Xiao Ash and said, "Yes, that monster is so fierce, if it weren't for the timely action of the ghost boy and Sister Bottle, I would have almost been killed by it." ”

Ghost Li still looked at Zhou Zhou Xian and said, "You said that the monster was a fishman who was one of the sixty-three alien races in Southern Xinjiang, right?"

Zhou Zhou Xian was silent for a moment and said, "Not bad." ”

The ghost arched his hand and said, "I don't know what my predecessors know about this fish-man clan?"

Zhou Zhou Xian glanced at Ghost Li and said, "Why are you suddenly interested in this?"

Ghost Li pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Since I asked my seniors, I don't have to hide the rest from you." After you left, it seems that my men were attacked by a group of monsters similar to the fish-men, and there were many casualties, so I wanted to ask my seniors about it. ”

Zhou Zhou Xian frowned, his body gradually straightened, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes, but he didn't speak. Ghost Li was not in a hurry, and stood quietly aside. After a while, Zhou Zhou Xian suddenly said: "The people who died under your hands, are they cruel in death, and their corpses are mostly cut into several pieces, which is miserable?"

"Ahh

Ghost Li nodded slowly, looked deeply at the old man in front of him, and said, "Yes, that's right." ”

Zhou Zhou Xian nodded and said: "That can't be wrong, it must be the Fishman Clan of the 100,000 Mountains and 63 Alien Races in Southern Xinjiang." According to their own legends, they are the descendants of the ancient fish god and the human woman, and they have always regarded themselves as the descendants of the fish god. This alien race has always been cruel and easy to kill, and it is believed that both animals and humans can only chop up and kill ghosts at the same time by cutting the corpse into pieces after slaughter, so as to avoid future troubles. Therefore, under their hands, whether it is animals or people, most of them can't even save a whole corpse. ”

Suddenly, there was a strange sound, and the two of them looked at it, but Xiaohuan's face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and he was a little disgusted.

Zhou Zhou Xian shook his head slightly, looked at Xiaohuan and sighed: "The world is so big, how many more murderous things there are, you don't know yet!"

Naturally, Ghost Li would not be like Xiaohuan, but he also frowned slightly, and said, "Why have you never heard of such a ferocious alien race in the past?"

Zhou Zhou Xian said lightly: "You have always lived in the Central Plains, so naturally you don't know about such a wild race. Among the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang, there are poor mountains with bad water everywhere, and the people there drink blood, which is completely different from the civilized people of the Central Plains. However, those alien races have always been accustomed to where their ancestors lived, and on the road that the land of Middle Earth must pass through to connect with southern Xinjiang, it is where the 'Incense Valley', one of the three major decent sects in the world, is located, and occasionally a few barbarians run over, and most of them are killed by the disciples of the Incense Valley with the immortal Taoism, so the Central Plains has never known the details of the alien races in southern Xinjiang. When I was young, I traveled all over the world and ran to the vicinity of the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang, so I knew a little bit about it. ”

Ghost Li nodded slowly, but the light in his eyes gradually brightened, and said: "According to what the predecessors said, it is understandable to occasionally run a foreign race in, but it is simply impossible for such a large group of foreign races to enter the Central Plains silently, and to reach the death swamp that is not less than 10,000 miles away from the southern Xinjiang." Unless something goes wrong in the Incense Valley in southern Xinjiang......"

Zhou Zhou Xian suddenly stretched his waist and said lazily: "That's your business, I don't bother to care." ”

Ghost Li pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Thank you, senior." ”

With that, he turned around, only to see Xiaohuan holding Xiao Ash and teasing it.

Xiaohuan looked at it out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help laughing: "You monkey is so cute! By the way, why is it suddenly so much heavier? Also, you can see that there is such a deep gray mark on its forehead, as if it has an extra eye." Hehe, isn't it, monkey?"

As he spoke, Xiaohuan grimaced at Ash, who grinned "squeak, squeak" and wagged his tail behind him.

Ghost Li's heart moved. Since that day in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, Xiao Ash drank the mysterious liquid and swallowed the strange stone, as if he was drunk, he slept for two days and two nights. When he woke up, he didn't see anything to eat, but he suddenly gained a lot of weight, and his appearance gradually began to change, and the color of his coat became more and more shiny, especially the gray mark on his forehead, which became more and more obvious.

But other than these, Xiao Ash has not changed much, and it is still the same playful and delicious. At first, he was still a little worried, but seeing that Xiao Ash was not unusual, he gradually relaxed.

At this moment, the ghost paused for a moment, and moved his gaze to the wild dog Taoist. The Wild Dog Daoist glanced at him, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little afraid.

Ghost Li said lightly: "Do you plan to follow them in the future?"

The Wild Dog Daoist was silent for a moment and said, "Yes." ”

The ghost said: "What I told you before, do you remember, the old man will come to you at any time." ”

The wild dog Taoist had a gloomy face, but he looked at Xiaohuan and still said, "I know, I don't care, it's their own rebellion, do they still have the face to see me?"

Ghost Li glanced at Xiaohuan intentionally or unintentionally, then retracted his gaze and said, "Since you want this, then it's up to you." ”

The wild dog Taoist was stunned and raised his head, as if he couldn't imagine that Ghost Li was so easy to speak. Ghost Li ignored him, stepped aside, and said hello to Ash. Little Ash swooped out of Xiaohuan's arms and jumped onto Ghost Li's shoulder.

Xiaohuan was stunned, quite reluctant, and said, "You're leaving?"

Ghost Li nodded, and arched his hand to Zhou Xian, and then the blue light under his body flashed, instantly turning into brilliant blue light, rushing straight to the sky, and disappearing into the sky after a while.

Seeing the ghost Li disappear, the wild dog Taoist suddenly let out a sigh, it seemed that the ghost Li was standing here just now, and there was an invisible power, which pressed him out of breath.

Xiaohuan saw it in his eyes and was about to laugh at him a few words, when he suddenly heard a gust of wind behind him, and a soft voice sounded softly behind him: "Sister, we met again." ”

Xiaohuan was stunned, and before she could turn around, she laughed and said, "Sister Bottle." ”

Looking back, it was indeed the golden bottle with all kinds of charm and elegance, standing behind it with a smile, and I don't know when it appeared.

After all, the Wild Dog Daoist was a member of the Demon Sect, and he was quite afraid of the Golden Bottle, and his expression was a little uncomfortable. But Xiaohuan and Jin Bei'er are really good friends, and they are overjoyed when they see her, pulling her to laugh non-stop.

Like a sister, Jin Bei'er touched Xiaohuan's head quite lovingly, and then glanced at the sky intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Sister Xiaohuan, I am looking for you today, in fact, I want to ask your grandfather a few words." ”

Xiaohuan, Zhou Xian, and wild dogs were all stunned.

Jin Zhu'er said lightly to Zhou Xian: "Regarding the alien fishmen in southern Xinjiang, I still have a few questions for you!"

Zhou Xian was dumbfounded and frowned, but before asking, Jin Bei'er looked at the sky lightly.

I saw a faint light shuttling through the clouds between the high white clouds, gradually moving towards the south.

Late at night.

Qingyun Mountain, Xiaozhu Peak.

The sky was overcast, there was no moon and starlight, and boundless darkness shrouded Xiaozhu Peak. Lu Xueqi was dressed in white and stood alone on the moon-watching platform on the mountain behind Xiaozhu Peak.

The moon platform here is actually the most famous place on Xiaozhu Peak, and it is listed as one of the six views of Qingyun Mountain, along with the "Sea of Clouds" and "Hongqiao" on the Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain.

The mountain behind Xiaozhu Peak is also full of dense bamboo forests, but unlike the "black bamboo" on the mountain behind Dazhu Peak, Xiaozhu Peak is rich in another strange bamboo-tear bamboo. This kind of bamboo is emerald green in color, the bamboo body is slender, and it has nearly twice as many bamboo knots than ordinary bamboo, but the bamboo is extremely tough, known as the first in the world, and ordinary woodcutters cannot cut it. But the most famous place of the tear bamboo is on the emerald green body of the bamboo, full of little pink spots, like the sad tears of a gentle woman, which is extremely beautiful.

And the origin of the name of Xiaozhufeng also comes from this.

As for the Moon Observatory, it is actually a lonely cliff hanging in mid-air, except for the back half that is connected to the mountain, most of which is suspended high in the air. It is said that on a bright moonlit night, the moonlight slowly rises from the bottom of the mountain and slowly climbs up to the observatory, and the moment the moonlight fully illuminates the observatory, it is also the time when the moon is empty.

And the moon platform is the most beautiful, that is, at that time, the moon will suddenly shine brilliantly, from the smooth moon platform rocks upside down, instantly illuminate the entire small bamboo peak, and at that moment standing on the moon platform, almost as if standing in a fairyland; what's more, legend has it that when the full moon night that only appears once in a Jiazi, it will make people feel that they are standing on the bright moon, and the excitement of that feeling is really infinitely desirable.

However, tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high, obviously not the time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the moon, not to mention that at this moment, it is on the moon platform on the mountain behind this small bamboo peak, that is, the place where the disciples of the front mountain live, it is also a black light blind fire, obviously everyone has already fallen asleep.

Only Lu Xueqi somehow came to this lonely and lonely place alone.

Tianya, who never left her, was still behind her, gently emitting a soft blue light in the darkness, illuminating some places around her. The night wind blew coldly, and she was dressed in snow-white clothes, blowing gently.

Sideburns, a few soft hairs, blown by the wind, brushed her fair face, but she didn't seem to pay attention at all, silently standing at the front of the cliff of the moon platform, staring into the distance in a daze.

The mountain wind grew stronger, and her clothes began to flutter in the wind.

If you go further, there will be darkness and an abyss.

On the edge of the cliff, in the faint light, the woman in white stood alone.

Little by little, something emerged in the depths of my heart, which was originally a gentle feeling, but slowly, it turned into sadness.

Suddenly, suddenly, like an invisible blade, piercing deeply in the heart.

The traces engraved in the deep heart turned out to be a person's face.

Acacia, hard ......

When there was no one in the dark night, in a secluded and uninhabited place, slowly, she opened her arms, and in front of her was boundless darkness, as if the sky and the earth were vast.

The wind was so strong that it rushed into her arms as if it was going to tear people, and the darkness under her feet suddenly became ready to move, and a dark hand stretched out from an unknown place, wrapped around her body, and wanted to pull her into the abyss.

It's just that she seems to be stupid, just staring silently, the wind blowing her thin and fragile body at the moment, like a lily blooming in the dark.

Night, deep.

The inexplicable coldness penetrated into every bit of the body's skin, only the mind, only the mind suddenly blazing, the tenderness hidden deep in the heart suddenly burst out like a burning flame at this moment, and then condensed into-

A face.

"Choking ......"

A sharp sound suddenly sounded in the dark night, echoing far away.

The Tianya Divine Sword was unsheathed and bloomed with brilliant light in the darkness. The white figure then rose, catching Tianya in mid-air, and the cold mountain wind swept up, accompanied by the white figure, on the moon platform, began a beautiful sword dance.

Autumn water falls like a long sky, turning into a boundless galaxy, moving gracefully in the hands of the slender fiber, flowing happily in the dark night. Sometimes it soars into the sky, sometimes it lands, sometimes it turns into a silver streamer, and it is attached to the peerless face, and sometimes it is scattered into a sky full of stars, shining brightly.

Lu Xueqi was on this moon platform, biting her lip deeply, closing her eyes, and her body seemed to be fluttering in the wind, like fluttering flocculents, like cold flowers, dancing out of the poignant posture of this world.

She turned into a white floating light, exhausted all her strength, her face was so pale, as if she still saw a faint bead of sweat, but she didn't stop, maybe her body was tired, so she could forget everything!

So she danced and danced, and the figure in the night was faint and beautiful......

"Ding!"

With a soft crisp sound, the Tianya Divine Sword slowly fell from his hand, and the sharp blade ignored the hard rock at all, like thorny snow, silently piercing into the stone.

The brilliant and beautiful white figure gradually lowered its face, and darkness crept up.

Who is in the dark, gasping low?

There are droplets of water, gently dripping and falling on the stones, maybe sweat after exhaustion?

She gasped softly, gasped, and then slowly calmed down, her eyes raised, but there was a faint confusion.

I don't know when, she danced to the back of the moon platform, in front of her was a bamboo forest, in front of her, there was a slender and gentle tear bamboo.

In the faint light, little by little tears, like a woman with a broken heart.

She looked at it in a daze, and then suddenly laughed, laughing silently, as if there was still a little bitterness, and then she sat on the ground with her back against the tears and the white clothes on her body.

Look up and look up at the sky!

The sky is boundless......

The night breeze blows, as if it has a faint familiar smell.

She closed her eyes and breathed deeply.

It turned out that after being tired, the face in my heart was even more profound.

The past, bit by bit, seems to be engraved in my heart and can never be erased.

It's like that day outside the Heavenly Emperor's treasury, he impulsively took her hand to save her, and forgot about his danger at all.

Her eyes were still closed, but a faint smile appeared on her lips. And then, thinking, thinking......

It wasn't until I thought of the mysterious words that appeared around them at that last moment that I realized that those words were deeply rooted in my mind. Perhaps, this way we can forget about him, right?

She said this to her deep heart, although she didn't believe it herself, but in her mouth, she still read softly:

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs......"

In the middle of the night, the words of ancient times echoed low in the darkness like a magic spell.

※※※

Qingyun Mountain Tongtian Peak, ancestral hall.

The light in the main hall was still a little dim as usual, and the head of Dao Xuan Zhenren held three pillars of incense in his hand, respectfully saluted the spiritual positions of countless ancestors, and then took a step forward and inserted the sandalwood in his hand into the incense burner on the offering table.

Beside him, there was only the down-and-out old man who took care of the ancestral hall. The dim light shone on his face, and the wrinkles were deeply wrinkled as if they were carved into his face.

Dao Xuan turned his head, his gaze fell on his face, and suddenly said, "You seem to look a little older." ”

The old man's face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "The years are urging people to grow old, what's so strange?"

Dao Xuan smiled, as if he wanted to say something, and suddenly a voice came from outside the ancestral hall: "Senior, disciple Lin Jingyu is back, come to greet senior." ”

Dao Xuan frowned slightly, stopped talking and didn't speak, the old man slowly walked up, but he didn't walk out of the ancestral hall, only raised his voice, and said, "It's you, when did you come back?"

Lin Jingyu said respectfully outside: "The disciple came back the day before, and after reporting to the master, he first went back to Longshou Peak to see the first senior brother, and as soon as he was free, he came to meet his seniors." ”

A faint smile appeared on the old man's lips, and he said, "Oh, that's it." Then you wait outside, I still have a guest here. ”

Lin Jingyu seemed to be stunned outside, in the past, there were never many people in this ancestral ancestral hall, and I didn't expect that there would be guests today. However, he had been practicing under this mysterious old man for ten years, and he had already respected him as a teacher, so he answered the call and waited quietly aside.

Dao Xuan Zhenren walked a few steps slowly, standing in the shadows of the main hall, looking out from the gate, only to see that under the warm sun, Lin Jingyu was carrying a dragon sword, wearing a long robe, a jade belt around his waist, his face was handsome and dusty, and he stood respectfully on the side of the ancestral hall, waiting patiently.

He looked at it silently for a while, and said, "This kid is a good material, regardless of his qualifications and temperament, he is the best choice." ”

The old man's steps looked a little sluggish, and when he walked up to him, he also glanced out, and said, "Then why didn't you take him under your door back then?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at Lin Jingyu who was standing outside the ancestral hall, the young man was in full swing, no matter where he looked at it, he revealed such a vigorous vitality and compelling edge, which made people feel that he was different.

Dao Xuan Zhenren suddenly smiled, a very plain smile, and then turned around and said to the old man: "Because he is too much like a person, his temperament, expression, and even his qualifications are so similar to that person." If I had him by my side, I wouldn't have been able to sleep. ”

The muscles on the face of the old man beside him suddenly seemed to twitch.

Dao Xuan Zhenren turned his head, looked at him, looked at him lightly, and after a long time, he suddenly shook his head, and then smiled: "I'm joking with you!" Before the words fell, he frowned, then touched his chest and coughed a few lowly.

The old man glanced at his chest, then looked at Dao Xuan Zhenren's face that had become slightly pale at the moment, and said lightly: "It's been ten years, isn't your injury healed?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren didn't speak, but the cough gradually became louder, and then his face gradually became ugly, and after a while, the cough slowly subsided.

Dao Xuan Zhenren let out a sigh of relief, turned around, no longer looked at Lin Jingyu outside the door, walked to the spiritual platform that enshrined countless Qingyunmen ancestor spiritual positions, looked at it in a daze for a while, and then said quietly: "I didn't expect that the power of the 'Zhuxian Sword' is so powerful!"

The old man walked over slowly, reached out and took a rag, began to wipe it lightly on the heavy offering table, and said: "The power of the Zhuxian Sword is so huge, coupled with the 'Zhuxian Sword Array', it is enough to reverse the sky, such a fierce thing is against the will of heaven, you should know it when you use the Zhuxian Ancient Sword." ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren said lightly: "I naturally know that on the stone tablet in the Phantom Moon Cave Mansion, from the Qingye Patriarch down, the ancestors of all generations have left strict orders, and this sword must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary!"

The old man slowly wiped the offering table, very slowly, as if he had been wiping like this for many years, so he was so focused. His eyes looked at the table, and he suddenly smiled, and said, "Actually, I also thought that maybe if you use the Immortal Ancient Sword a few more times, maybe you will die faster than me." ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at the old man's rickety back, the pupils in his eyes suddenly contracted, and after a while, he slowly turned around and walked out.

"Are you leaving?" the old man's somewhat desolate voice came from behind him.

Dao Xuan Zhenren stopped, but did not look back, and after a while, his voice slowly came: "Do you remember what I said when I rescued you?"

The old man stood in the dark shadows and did not answer.

Dao Xuan Zhenren didn't look back, there seemed to be a strange aura wafting in the ancestral hall of this patriarch, and for a while, he only heard Dao Xuan Zhenren's voice say lightly: "I saved you because I owe you, but I won't let you live longer than me!"

The old man's body was already hidden in the shadows, motionless, and Dao Xuan Zhenren immediately walked out and left the ancestral hall.

※※※

Lin Jingyu was waiting patiently outside, and suddenly saw that it was the real person in charge who walked out of the ancestral hall, was startled, and hurriedly saluted. Dao Xuan Zhenren glanced at him, and there seemed to be some strange light flashing in his eyes, then nodded and left.

Lin Jingyu watched the head of the real person leave, and for some reason, as soon as the Dao Xuan real person came out of the ancestral hall just now, he suddenly felt that the face of the head of the real person seemed to be a little strangely pale.

Lin Jingyu was thinking to himself, but from the ancestral hall, the voice of the old man had already come, and he said slowly: "Is it Jingyu, you come in." ”

Lin Jingyu hurriedly responded: "Yes." As he spoke, he walked into the ancestral hall.

As soon as he walked into the ancestral hall, Lin Jingyu suddenly felt a chill on his body, and at the same time, the surroundings were also darkened. He couldn't help frowning, he had been following this mysterious old man here to take care of the ancestral hall for the past ten years, but from the day he came, he felt that this ancestral ancestral hall was very strange, no matter when it was a gloomy and dark feeling, but it was not dark here, but in front of those ancestral spiritual positions, many incense candles were lit, but the faint light of these dim candles seemed to exist only to set off the deeper darkness here, and it was impossible to get rid of the gloomy and even gloomy feeling in this hall.

But after all, he had been living here for ten years, and he admired the old man standing in the shadows even more, and he had long stopped paying attention to the strange place here, and now he respectfully saluted the figure of the old man, and said, "Senior, the disciple is back." ”

In the past ten years, Lin Jingyu has also wanted to call this old man Master more than once, but he was rejected by this mysterious old man without exception, so Lin Jingyu has always called him a senior, anyway, seeing that even the real person in charge sometimes looks at this old man differently, thinking that he must have been an elder in the Qingyun Gate back then.

The old man smiled, walked out of the shadows, looked Lin Jingyu up and down, and saw that he had been out for a few months, and his face was a little frosty, but the whole person was more energetic, and he couldn't help but have a slight relief in his eyes, and said in a harmonious voice: "I went out this time, I was not injured, right?"

Lin Jingyu smiled: "It's not that there are no injuries, but they are all small injuries and are not worth mentioning." It's a pity that this time I went to the dead Ze and returned in vain. ”

At that moment, he simply said the battle of Death Ze, at this time, the news that the three major sects in the Demon Sect had destroyed the Immortal Hall together had already spread all over the world, and Lin Jingyu also listened to it on the way back, and at this moment he also said it to the old man.

However, this old man was obviously not very interested in the survival of the Immortal Hall, and when he heard that one of the four major sects of the Demon Sect had been destroyed, he didn't even change his face, and just listened quietly to Lin Jingyu's words.

After Lin Jingyu finished speaking, the old man was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Did you say that the other three major sects of the Demon Sect, including the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, have a large number of people going this time?"

Lin Jingyu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The old man seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally said, "Have you seen Cangsong?"

Lin Jingyu's body was shocked, and he was stunned, but then he fell silent, with a complicated expression on his face, and said after a while: "No, senior." ”

The old man looked at the look on his face, and suddenly said, "Do you hate him very much?"

A trace of pain flashed in Lin Jingyu's eyes, and he said slowly: "I don't know, but good and evil are not mutually exclusive, anyway, even if we meet again, we will already be enemies who share the sky!"

"Hmph!" the old man suddenly sneered.

Lin Jingyu was taken aback and said, "Senior, what's wrong?"

The old man shook his head slowly, turned around, looked upward, and what caught his eye was the countless Qingyunmen Patriarch Spirit Positions high in the sky, and the dim candle flame in front of their Spirit Positions seemed to be like their eyes at this moment, silently looking at the people in the ancestral hall.

"He raised you since he was a child, taught you the Tao, taught you how to be a man, and finally passed on the dragon slaying sword to you, has there ever been a place where you are sorry?" the old man suddenly said lightly.

Lin Jingyu shook his head slowly and said in a low voice: "He has always been very good to me, and I used to respect him as if I admired the gods, and I respected him as a father very much. But ......"

Lin Jingyu didn't say any more, and the old man suddenly fell silent, and after a long time, the old man smiled bitterly, with endless sourness, and said in a low voice to the spiritual candles in front of him: "Actually, Cangsong is just a poor person who has taken the wrong path......"
