At the end of the endless plain, the vast mountains rise tall and tall. Villages and towns of different sizes are scattered far and near the mountains, connected by post roads, scattered like the ditches of fishing nets in the southern foot of the mountains, and the people in the various cities and markets are in a myriad of forms, shouting and whispering, and in the layers of mountains, a huge ruin is silent alone.

The former site of Yunlan country, spring dawn.

The ruins and broken walls near and far have been clinging to the moss marks of alienation, and the original Taixie garden has long been unable to see the pattern, the trees and grass grow wildly, like a primitive monster, horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, alone to the emptiness. From there, you can get a bird's-eye view of the surrounding mountains in a circle, and the nearest town outside the mountains is also three to five days away. The reckless dense forest covers the hustle and bustle of the world and the barrenness in it, and the singing of birds and insects adds to the quiet taste, but the empty environment lacks the traces of people, and it seems a little lonely.

However, this loneliness was soon broken, and a middle-aged man with a six-foot stature and handsome eyebrows was now walking on a broken plank road in the middle of many mountain peaks. If the dense forest behind you can be measured, you will find that the nearest town is more than 100 miles away from here.

Walking on the mountain road, walking alone on the mountain road, every time Zhao Guang recalls the bits and pieces he left along the way in this way. Every time he recalled, he would look back at his past clearly, and suddenly understand who he was and the meaning of existence.

The mountain road is getting steeper, Zhao Guang, who is not strong, is a little breathing, patting the morning dew and grass clippings on the green shirt, and the stains made of dry soil, stopping and looking up, in the gap between the torsos of the lush trees on the mountain, a piece of rubble has almost disappeared into the lush weeds, and he can't help but feel a pain in his heart: that is his former home.

He still vividly remembered the carved pavilions and the laughing and noisy people, and even began to think of the scene before his eyes, but a mountain breeze blew, ruffled his hair and brought him back to the ruined reality, he shook his head and continued his trek.

When he finally came to the ruins he had seen that day, his face showed the pain that had been hidden for a long time. "The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is deep in spring and grass", these two poems are slightly ruthless and become Zhao Guang's real situation at this time. Standing among the rubble of his homeland, he looks around, including his dormitory, school, and garden from a long time ago, and thinks about his relatives, friends, and servants......

This was not the first time Zhao Guang had returned here, so he didn't stay long. His destination was on another mountain called Yangxin behind the Old Imperial Palace, a place called Yangtianchi.

Yangtian Pond is called Chi, but it is actually a lake with a radius of nearly 100 zhang. If you can overlook the earth, you will find that Yangtian Pond is at the lowest point in the middle of Yangxin Peak, like a pearl that falls into the sand, and it is also like a slightly budding flower.

According to the old people of Yunlan Country, Yangtianchi is the lifeblood of the royal family of Yunlan Country, Yangtianchi is here, Yunlan Country is here, Yangtianchi is dead, Yunlan Country is dead. At that time, the reason why Yunlan Kingdom built the capital in the center of Liaoshan was because it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and because it was close to Yangtianchi and Gongwei Yangtianchi. When Yunlan Country was still there, it was a forbidden place, a place that only the royal family could enter in the entire Yunlan Country, and now, it was still a forbidden place where no one was around.

After the destruction of the Yunlan Kingdom, some of the four countries that jointly sent troops to the Yunlan Kingdom proposed that Yangtianchi should be destroyed, otherwise they would always be suspicious. Although the others thought it was a little ridiculous, they had already destroyed the Yunlan Kingdom anyway, and they didn't care about spending a little more time, so they recruited Minfu mountain workers and quarried nearby mountain stones to fill them in. So in the end, Yangtianchi, known as the "holy land" of Yunlan Kingdom, was wiped out from this world by tens of thousands of workers summoned by the four countries, and in this way, it responded to the legend of Yangtianchi and Yunlan.

Since then, the capital city of Yunlan has become a veritable ruin. The people of the old country would never come to the city because they were afraid of suspicion, and people from other countries would not go to see a city that was in ruins.

In fifteen years, only Zhao Guang and a very small number of people would come here, and in fifteen years he had returned four times, and now it was the fifth.

Gradually, Zhao Guang disappeared behind the palace of Yun Languo, but he didn't know that from entering to disappearing, there was always a gaze following him closely, the owner of this gaze was hidden in the tree at the edge of the palace, and his black clothes happened to be hidden in the mottled shadow, and even you would find that even if you looked at him directly, you couldn't feel his existence.

Suddenly, the black-clothed man's gaze sharpened, and then he pinched a spell, and the figure quickly disappeared, as if there was a tree and no one had ever existed. At this moment, two Changhong suddenly appeared in the sky above the palace, from far to near, and finally stopped in the air more than ten zhang from the ground, Changhong suddenly stopped and turned into a human form, which was two young people wearing blue robes.

"Senior brother, did you say he was really here?" asked the slightly immature of the two.

"Hmph, since the treasure theft was exposed, he has traveled all the way north, not back to his hometown, which has long been in ruins, I really can't think of where else he can go, but what about escaping here, sooner or later he will be arrested. The slightly more mature one snorted.

"But didn't Master say that he might flee to the Far North?"

"You don't think he's so cold-blooded, do you?" the man glanced at his junior brother, his face full of insight.

The junior brother was looked at by his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little hot, and changed the topic: "Oh, it turns out that you have already guessed that he will come back, so you asked the master to borrow this shuttle to look for it, senior brother, you are really like a god." ”

"Of course," the senior brother pinched the void in his right hand, and there was an extra jade slip in his hand, and then he looked at it intently, but the jade slip did not change in the slightest, so a few times, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Is he really not coming back?" Seeing the questioning looks of the junior brothers around him, he immediately said: "Senior brother, if you follow me to the only way to the extreme north, I don't believe that he can be faster than the master's shuttle." After that, he pulled the shoulders of the people around him, and the two turned into Changhong and swished away.

After the two walked away, the figure in the shade of the tree was revealed again, and it was obvious that he was the object of the two people just now. Touching a strange-shaped ring on the tail finger of his right hand, he couldn't help but feel distressed, it seemed that he couldn't go to the Far North, and now that he was finally caught in the encirclement of tracking, where should he go next?

At this time, if someone sees this person's face, they will be surprised, because this person is actually similar to Zhao Guangchang, who has left.

At the same time, at the southern foot of the Liaoshan Mountain, there is a relatively sparsely wooded place in the dense forest halfway up the mountainside, which has been roughly treated and built into a place with only a few houses, and even too small to be called a village, but this small village has an official name: Nian Village. The reason why it is formal is because these two characters are carefully written on a square wooden board made of splicing and hung at the entrance of the village.

In Nian Village, a strange dispute is unfolding.

A middle-aged man dressed in clean clothes, but who at first glance is dressed as a scholar or servant, is arguing fiercely with an opponent three times his size. And these three opponents in different costumes, although there are many people, obviously do not occupy the slightest advantage, and even disgust and avoidance are clearly written on their faces.

"Anyway, you haven't been able to complete his old man's explanation, why do you still have the face to live here?" said the middle-aged servant, squinting at the three of them.

One of the three men in a turquoise robe shot back with dissatisfaction: "Boy, it's not your turn to take care of the affairs here, our own Cigna, we remember it very well." You don't need to be reminded. To tell you the truth, if it weren't for your relationship with that person, you would have died too many times—"

"Boy, did you call my master like that back then?" the middle-aged servant ruthlessly interrupted the turquoise-robed man's words and scolded him sharply.

"You don't know that your master is dead, do you?" the green-robed man immediately retorted with bruises on his forehead.

At this time, a woman in red on the side, the face of the other participant in this dispute, who had calmed down, suddenly changed drastically, "Zhang Jianbo, if you don't want to commit suicide alive, don't involve us." ”

The man in the turquoise robe called Zhang Jianbo seemed to realize something, and he lowered his head after a long time, and it took a long time to calm down, " Boy, don't bother us again, we keep a promise that you don't understand, and don't deliberately provoke us, give you a word of advice: if you meet us and still clean up, if you meet someone else, maybe you will die a long time ago, you should know that there are a few of us, not necessarily will listen to you for so long, even if you are Zhao Tianzuo's entourage, even if we have that promise, we will kill it. ”

The middle-aged servant listened to these words, but his cold face slowly smiled, "That's why I came to you!"

The turquoise robed man and the others were stunned, "Are you going to eat us?"

"That's right, I'm not afraid that you will kill me, not to say that you don't dare to kill me, even if you dare to kill me, I will come, just to complete my mission! ”

"So, you were indeed sent by Zhao Tianzuo?" the gray-robed old man, who had been silent beside him, suddenly asked.

"No!" the middle-aged servant was categorical.

"If you are sent by Zhao Tianyou, we will also carry out what you just said without discount. The old man's deep eyes had an inexplicable light, staring directly at the middle-aged servant.

"It's not!" the middle-aged servant changed color and said, "Even if it's not, you have to do what I say, don't think I don't know, when Yunlan changes dramatically, if you don't stand by and watch—"

"Shut up!" Before the middle-aged servant could finish speaking, the three of them interrupted him in unison, as if there was something in the words that made them fearful, and they would never want to touch it again, and even if they heard it, they would be like a man.
