Qingyun Mountain, Big Bamboo Peak.

The clouds are ethereal in the mountains, like gentle white ribbons, gently changing. In the early morning, the slightly moist air and the fresh and cool wind crossed the green bamboo forest and the mountain of Dazhu Peak.

The building centered on the Silent Hall stood quietly in the morning light, and everything seemed so peaceful......

It was just a burst of barking sounds, interspersed with "squeaks", that broke the silence. The brightly colored rhubarb came from a distance, and Ash rode on its back, holding the hair on the rhubarb's neck tightly with one hand to support the body, while waving the other hand in the air, looking very excited.

Ten years ago, after Zhang Xiaofan went to Tongtian Peak from here, he never came back. In the first period, both animals became depressed, especially Ash, who was very active and bored for a long time. As for the rhubarb, it was not good, he was depressed all day long, and I don't know if he liked Zhang Xiaofan's cooking too much, during that time, every time Du Bishu, who cooked instead of Zhang Xiaofan, took out food to feed them, he must have been roared by Rhubarb and Xiaoshen, and most of them still had white eyes after eating, and they looked very dissatisfied, and poor Du Bishu was also depressed for a long time.

It's just that time is like water, passing slowly, and the memories of the year seem to be fading away, and I don't know when it started, Xiao Ash and Rhubarb began to play around on the top of Dazhu Peak again, playing endlessly, but even so, they always returned to Zhang Xiaofan's room when they fell asleep at night, as if they were looking forward to something.

Although, for all these years, this room has always been empty.

"Shhh

Rhubarb suddenly stopped in the rush, and the huge inertia caused Ash to almost fall off its back, but fortunately its hands were tight enough to barely stabilize its body. Rhubarb barked loudly, and suddenly turned around, but his mouth was open and his long tongue was out, chasing his tail, and his body kept spinning in place.

Little Ash sat firmly on its back, grinning loudly and squeaking, very excited and happy. I don't know how many times I've done this boring game, but for them, it seems to be the most fun thing.

The early morning light sprinkled on their bodies, the voices of two animals echoed on the big bamboo peak, and people were still sleeping, and this good time seemed to be reserved only for them.

In the distance, the verdant bamboo forest in the back mountain, faintly heard the sound of the mountain wind blowing the bamboo leaves, reverberating slowly, even the wind blowing from that direction seemed to carry the fragrance of the bamboo leaves, and the breath of the bamboo forest.

Suddenly!

Rhubarb stopped chasing his tail, and Ash raised his head almost at the same time on his back, opened his mouth wide, and looked at the bamboo forest.

Green mountains, green bamboo, the wind passes, like the sea......

Rustle, rustle, rustle......

"Squeak squeak!" Little Ash suddenly screamed, Rhubarb's reaction was also a little strange, but the voice was much quieter, barking a few times, but after a while, the two animals seemed to know something, Little Ash grabbed Rhubarb, Rhubarb immediately spread his legs, and quickly ran towards the black bamboo forest in the back mountain.

The familiar back mountain path, perhaps because no one has come here to do homework for a long time, the vegetation is lush and even the original mountain road is gradually blurred, but rhubarb seems to be born with a sense of spirit, shuttling between the trees, running faster and faster, and soon ran in front of the bamboo forest.

In the verdant bamboo forest, deep and with a hint of mystery, Rhubarb stopped outside the bamboo forest, and screamed a few times in a low voice, while Xiao Ash jumped off its back, squatted aside, looked at it, and glanced into the depths of the bamboo forest, scratching his head with his hand from time to time, as if he was also a little hesitant.

But only after a moment, finally Xiao Ash made up his mind, only to see it to the rhubarb "squeak" twice, and walked to the bamboo forest first, saying that it was not quite right, but Xiao Ash strangely did not climb on the bamboo, but used his forelimbs to support the ground, with a jumping posture, slowly went inside, looking at his appearance, both cautious, but also seemed to be full of expectations.

Rhubarb whined twice, then took a step forward and followed him into the bamboo forest.

A monkey and a dog slowly shuttled through the secluded bamboo forest, and soon disappeared.

The morning light was blocked by the dense bamboo leaves, but from the gap, there were still rays of light, turning into pillars of light as big as fingers, sprinkling from above the bamboo forest and falling on the ground.

Ash and Rhubarb walked slowly among the bamboo trees, walking...... Unconsciously, I walked to a place in the depths of the bamboo forest, there is a small clearing, some familiar, vaguely remembered, as if it was the place where Zhang Xiaofan came here for the first time and worked hard to cut bamboo.

Ash stopped, crouched in the clearing, scratched his head with his hand, and looked around.

In the deep bamboo forest, there was silence.

But there seems to be some inexplicable breath floating here.

Slowly increases the heartbeat......

"Poof!" a gentle footstep stepped in the silence of the depths of the bamboo forest.

Xiao Ash and Rhubarb turned their heads at the same time, and the figure, behind a thick bamboo, slowly appeared.

There was a sudden silence in the bamboo forest, but after a while, there was a sudden cheer, and Little Gray jumped up, and his body turned into gray light and rushed over, jumping into the air, and jumping into the arms of that man!

He clung to the man's shirt and laughed loudly, unleashing his joy without fear, squeaking and squeaking.

The man crossed his hands, and the once fierce aura disappeared at this moment, and his eyebrows were full of soft smiles that he hadn't seen for a long time, and he hugged Xiao Ash in his arms. After a while, he suddenly felt it again, looked down, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, leaned over, stroked the head of Rhubarb, who was rubbing his body, and said with a smile: "Rhubarb, are you okay?"

Rhubarb naturally couldn't speak, just whined and whimpered, his tail kept wagging and rubbing his head against his palm.

The corners of his eyes, as if no one was seeing, faintly reflected the light: "Only you, still treat me as before!"

He sighed softly and breathed deeply, in this bamboo forest, the taste of longing was once familiar.

"Whoa!"

Suddenly, there was another rush of footsteps, but it was a wild dog Taoist who rushed out from behind, but seeing that his shabby Taoist robe was torn by thorns a few times, he knew that he had taken the wrong path.

The wild dog Taoist was full of gloom, and complained to Zhang Xiaofan in the past, and now the ghost is fierce: "Hey, stinky boy, are you crazy, you don't have to be like this if you want to die! This is Qingyunmen, if someone finds out, we will die even if we have ten lives!"

Suddenly, Rhubarb, who was still very docile to the ghost just now, turned around, the hair on his neck stood up, and he grinned with his teeth, obviously very disappointing to the wild dogs. A moment later, Rhubarb roared and pounced.

The wild dog was taken aback, but when he saw the giant dog, which was almost half a man tall, suddenly pounced, his heart first snorted, and he subconsciously reached out to hold his fanged magic weapon.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ghost Li said lightly in front of him: "If you dare to hurt this dog with a magic weapon, I will cut off your hands and feet, and then throw it in front of the Jingjing Hall at the foot of the mountain." ”

The wild dog was stunned and said angrily: "What do you say......"

But before the words were finished, the rhubarb had already pounced, and the wild dog was knocked down by the giant dog when he lost his mind, and suddenly the dog barked and scolded endlessly, and the man and dog tossed, staggered, and made an uproar! The wild dog Taoist and the rhubarb rolled together behind a thorn in the distance, and the figure of the dog could not be seen, only the angry barking sound was heard from time to time.

"Oops, dead dog, you're still biting...... Hey, stinky boy, you brute, don't tell this dog to let go, no, let go, ah...... Dead dog, that's a human leg, not a chicken leg......! Ahhh......h

Ghost Li turned a deaf ear to the screams of wild dogs in the distance, and turned his head to look at Xiao Ash in his arms, with a smile between his eyebrows. After looking carefully, I saw that I hadn't seen her for ten years, and Xiao Ash seemed to have grown up a little more, and the feeling of holding it in her arms seemed to be much heavier than before, even the trace between her eyes seemed to be a lot bigger.

And Ash, after the initial excitement of joy, was still grinning at the moment, crawling up to his shoulder as usual, and habitually reaching out to stroke his hair.

Ghost Li stood quietly, and then slowly walked out, walked to the edge of the bamboo forest, and looked into the distance, the place in front of the mountain that was covered by clouds and mist used to be his warmest home.

He was stunned and looked deeply.

I don't know how long it took, Rhubarb ran out of the depths of the bamboo forest triumphantly, shook his head, and his tail shook even more, jumping to the side of Ghost Li, and screaming a few times.

Ghost smiled and reached out to pat him on the head.

After a while, the wild dog Taoist staggered out of the black bamboo forest, the Taoist robe on his body was a little tattered, and even a few more scratches on a dog's face, and the wounds under his feet were even more faintly visible.

At this moment, seeing Rhubarb lying next to Ghost Li, he was a little scared, but he didn't dare to walk over, and scolded angrily from afar: "Dead dog, don't think that someone is supporting you, sooner or later I will kill you!"

Rhubarb Huo Di turned around and roared at the wild dog Taoist, the wild dog's soul was scattered, and he took a few steps back, but Rhubarb only scared him when he looked at it, and he didn't chase after a while, but turned his head, and the wild dog was relieved, but he didn't dare to scold anymore anyway.

After looking down at the mountain for a long time, the first rays of sunshine of the day had quietly fallen, draped in a faint golden coat for this green mountain.

Ghost closed his eyes and breathed deeply.

After a moment, he turned around, reached out and held the little gray on his shoulder in his arms, glanced at the wild dog, and said, "Let's go!"

The wild dog was eager to hear his words, so he hurriedly walked over and muttered, "Isn't it okay to find trouble! For the sake of a monkey, risk his life......

Rhubarb seemed to sense something, stood up, and looked at the ghost. Ghost Li stretched out his hand and patted Rhubarb's head, smiled, and with a wave of his left hand, a black rod shining with a dark blue light appeared, which was the "burning stick" of the year, supporting his body and going straight to the sky.

The wild dog was dumbfounded, and complained: "Stinky boy, where do you think it is......!

He was complaining to himself, when suddenly, the rhubarb roared loudly, and the wild dog was startled, and hurriedly took the magic weapon and followed the ghost.

In front of the black bamboo forest, Rhubarb was alone, barking loudly, all the time, all the time......

Its roar echoed through the mountain, and it kept screaming, until a white hand touched the top of its head and said softly, "Rhubarb, what's wrong?

Rhubarb seemed to be a little excited and gasped, turned his eyes to look at Tian Ling'er, who was now a young woman, turned around again, and barked loudly towards the sky.

"Woo Woo, Woo Woo, Woo Woo ......"

Tian Ling'er frowned, glanced around, a little strange, and said, "What's the matter, Rhubarb? By the way, what about Xiao Ash? Why isn't he with you?"

Rhubarb didn't know if he understood what she said, but he was still barking hoarsely at the sky.

Tian Ling'er looked at the sky, but only saw the blue sky and white clouds, the blue sky was infinite, and the rare clouds were drawn out of the clouds, galloping through the sky, which was very spectacular. Somehow, she suddenly felt a pang in her heart, and she was stupid for a while.

To the south of Qingyun Mountain, thousands of miles away in a deserted place, there is a high mountain, called "Huqi Mountain", which is the headquarters of the Demon Sect Ghost King Sect.

In the past ten years, the power of the Demon Cult has become more and more prosperous, and many masters have emerged, but its internal strife has become increasingly fierce, even more fierce than the struggle with the righteous path. The Ghost King Sect was originally one of the four major factions in the Demon Sect, and in the past ten years, the sect leader Ghost King has worked hard to govern the country, and he has been strategically and strategically, and the Ghost King Sect has grown stronger and stronger, and it has faintly replaced the Ten Thousand Poison Sect to become the number one faction of the Demon Sect.

Today's Ghost King Sect, in addition to the mysterious four holy envoys of the previous generation who surfaced, there is also a mysterious figure "Mr. Ghost" who appears around the Ghost King, usually only listening to human voices, not seeing people. But the most eye-catching thing is the younger generation of the Ghost King Sect, especially the Ghost King who is highly valued by the Ghost King, and the Ghost King does not hesitate to promote him to the deputy sect master and treat him as his own. As everyone knows today, Ghost Li must be the next generation of Ghost King Sect Master.

In the Demon Cult, the infighting is not only fierce but also extremely effective, and I don't know how many people have tried to separate the relationship between the Demon King and his No. 1 general, but all of them have failed.

And in the hearts of the few people who know about that period of time, there is a faint sentimentality about the relationship between these two people that is so strong that it is almost unbreakable.

The black veil gently covered her face, and the mysterious woman in black, Yu Ji, was sitting silently in the most important room of the Ghost King Sect at this moment. The room is not very large, but it is very cold, and the reason for this is that in the center of the room, there is a crystal clear white ice platform, and the slightest cold air wafts from the almost transparent ice platform.

A beautiful woman, dressed in her beloved green clothes, lay quietly on it, her face looked a little pale in the white cold air that floated up, as if it was also transparent, and there was a cold beauty!

She crossed her hands in front of her, and in the palm of her hand, as if it had become one with her body, was a small golden bell, shining with a strange light, as if staring at the world.

At this moment, there was a sudden low "rumbling" sound behind him, and the heavy stone door of the room was pushed open and then closed again.

Footsteps sounded, and someone walked up to Yuhime's side.

Yu Ji raised his head slowly, and the people who could enter this room, even if it were the entire Ghost King Sect, would not exceed four people.

Ghost Li's somewhat pale face appeared in front of her eyes, and her heart behind the black veil throbbed slightly, vaguely remembering that every time this man entered here, his face became more and more pale.

It's just that in the man's eyes, there is no Yuhime at all, and the beautiful woman who is lying there peacefully has occupied all his body and mind at this moment.

The stone chamber suddenly became very quiet, as silent as death.

Yuhime got up lightly and stepped back, but her gaze remained on the man. His figure seemed to be a little lonely again, and as for the terrifying bloody aura that often appeared on him in the outside world, he couldn't feel it at all here.

I don't know if it's only here, the only place where he gets peace.

She gave the man one last look, walked out, carefully closed the stone door, and then was stunned, and a white-clothed Qinglong stood beside her.

"What's the matter?" Yuhime was silent for a moment, and said lightly.

Qinglong glanced at the stone gate and said, "He's back?"

Yuhime Heisha moved, as if nodding slightly, and said, "Yes, talk to Baguio inside." ”

Qinglong frowned and sighed softly. In fact, they all knew in their hearts that the so-called speech was just a whisper to himself, and as for whether Baguio could hear it, that was another matter. It's just that it's so sad that none of them want to talk about it.

Youji stood silently for a while, and suddenly said: "Zhang Xiaofan, every time he comes back, he will come here as soon as possible......"

Qinglong's face changed slightly, and he intercepted: "Third sister, he has now been given the name Ghost Li by the Ghost King Sect Master, I have told you many times, don't call him by this name again." ”

After Yuhime's black veil, I didn't know what her expression was, but I heard that her voice didn't change in the slightest, and continued: "...... But the sect master hasn't been here for a long time. ”

Qinglong looked at her, and finally sighed, and said, "In the past ten years, the sect master has seen how much more white hair on his sideburns has appeared, right? ”

Yuhime was silent for a while, and then as if she remembered something, she looked up and said, "How is the search for the Black Witch Clan?"

Qinglong shook his head and said, "The Black Witch Clan was only a flash in the pan a thousand years ago, but now it is really not a clue where to find it." ”

Yuhime slowly turned around and walked outside.

This stone room that makes Baguio sleep is naturally in the extremely secluded place of the Ghost King Sect, and few people come on weekdays, but at this moment, there are only two of them in the corridor outside the stone outside.

Qinglong looked at the back of Youji walking away, and suddenly said, "You'd better stay away from the ghost." ”

Youji's body shook suddenly, and immediately stopped, the whole person seemed to straighten up, but then slowly relaxed, turned around, stared at Qinglong through the black veil, and said word by word: "What do you mean?"

Qinglong stopped looking at her, turned his eyes to the stone door of the stone room, and said lightly: "I know that you feel guilty about Baguio and think that you didn't protect her well, but your private concern for that man has been a little too much." ”

Yu Ji stopped talking, but this corridor suddenly became almost colder than the stone room just now, and the invisible killing intent seemed to emanate from the woman in black.

"Do you mean that I actually have affection for this young man?" she spat out word by word.

Qinglong didn't seem to feel the killing intent in front of him, and his expression didn't change, so he said slowly: "Third sister, I didn't say that, I just wanted to remind you that because of Baguio, the relationship between the Ghost King Sect Master and this man has always been very delicate. I have followed the Ghost King Sect Master for many years, and I know that although he treats Ghost Li as his own, sometimes he is sad and Baguio is like this, and I am afraid that he also has a little hatred. ”

Speaking of this, he turned around, looked at Youji deeply, and said softly: "Third sister, you have to do it yourself." ”

Youhime was in the distance, snorted coldly, and said coldly: "I don't know what it means!" After that, he turned around and walked away.

Qinglong smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed slightly.

In the stone chamber.

Ghost Li sat next to Baguio, staring at the beautiful and slightly pale face, and said softly, "I'm back, Baguio." ”

......

"This time I went out, and I destroyed another sect for your father, that is, the Blood Refining Hall we knew at the beginning, you must still remember, right?"

......

"I don't know why, when the last person was left, I suddenly remembered you, thought that we met here, and I couldn't kill it. Baguio, will you blame me?"

......

"A few days ago, I secretly avoided the guards and secretly went to Dazhu Peak, and brought Xiao Ash back by the way. Have you ever seen Ash, the monkey I raised as a child......"

......

"I went to the Black Bamboo Forest, guess what I saw?"

......

"It turned out that the black knotted bamboo that had fallen to the ground was still lying there. Baguio, do you remember? It's the bamboo that the two of us sat on together......"

......

"Turns out, nothing has changed, Baguio. ”

......

"Baguio ......" he read softly, vaguely with a choked voice, floating in this stone room.
