The pebbles flew through the air and shot into the bushes......

"Boom!"

There was a faint muffled sound.

Yue Fan frowned when he heard this, vigilantly ahead, and secretly wondered: "The person who came is so powerful! Could it be that the killer is looking for it again?"

"Humph!"

Yue Fan's eyes were cold, and he grabbed a handful of stones again, ready to make a second move......

"Please stop! I have no ill intentions. ”

A vigorous voice came from the bushes, causing Yue Fan's ears to buzz. Before the words fell, an old man in a blue robe flashed in front of him, calm.

"Master! ”

There is no trace, no trace! This kind of light skill realm can be called the top even in the vast rivers and lakes, and Yue Fan has never seen it.

Seeing a stranger appear, and he couldn't see the depth, Yue Fan was even more vigilant in his heart. Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, he maintained a calm expression on his face, and got up to look at the person in front of him.

The person who came was half a hundred years old, with a white beard hanging down his chest and fluttering lightly, full of energy, but he did not look old. But the vicissitudes of life in the eyes of the old man are freehand, as if appearance is just an illusion of age. Standing still, the old man gives people the stability of a mountain peak, like the majesty of the sea, but in front of him, it will not give people the slightest pressure, everything is so natural and tranquil......

"Heaven and man are one!" Yue Fan secretly exclaimed! Such a bearing made him admire, a real master, there is no need to use the coercion of momentum to interpret!

Yue Fan looked at the old man...... However, the other party was also looking at him.

"The young man has white hair! This son is so angry!" This was the old man's first impression of Yue Fan.

At this time, Yue Fan was in tatters, comparable to a beggar. But his waist is straight, his demeanor is indifferent, and his resolute face reveals a tough temperament. Coupled with his flamboyant white hair, even the old man was moved. But Yue Fan's deep eyes are like the perspective of the soul, revealing purity, which is unpredictable.

The old man also nodded secretly in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "Little brother is extraordinary, it took me a lot of effort to pick up a stone from you just now." If that's the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to toss this old bone twice!hehe-" He pinched the pebble in his hand and threw it aside.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

Yue Fan was very curious, this person could get close to him ten zhang without being discovered, this kind of skill far surpassed him. If the other party really wants to secretly poison him, I'm afraid he won't stand here well, so he didn't run away.

"Hehe!" the old man still smiled and said, "The old man's name is Bai Suyun, and he lives not far from here. Just now, when I saw the aura of this place, I thought that there was some master fighting here, so I came to see it out of curiosity...... It turned out that the little brother practiced here...... I'm bothering you!"

Bai Suyun, if this name is placed on the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that it will be another storm and cause the world to shake.

Fifty years ago, Bai Suyun proved what he had learned, and he fought eight innate masters in black and white alone at the top of Huashan. The two sides fought for three days and two nights without winning or losing, and in the end, Bai Suyun showed his mastery and was able to win by skill. The momentum of this battle is rare to see in a hundred years, the world was shocked, and finally respected him as one of the top ten masters in the world, "Emperor Baiwu". At that time, Bai Suyun was only thirty years old.

After winning this honor, Bai Suyun withdrew from the rivers and lakes and took his beloved to the mountains and forests.

But five years later, he reappeared and killed 38 masters of the righteous path, 24 masters of the underworld, and 19 masters of other sects. brought a bloody storm to the rivers and lakes, and even the imperial court was implicated. However, since then, he has disappeared into the vast expanse of rivers and lakes, and no one knows his whereabouts. It's just that no one would have thought that he would be here today.

However, even if the people in the rivers and lakes are here, no matter how you look at it, they can't be associated with Bai Suyun, who was crazy back then!

Yue Fan didn't know the rivers and lakes, so naturally he didn't know about Bai Suyun. Just arched his hand slightly, and the table was polite to the elders. Then he asked, "Excuse me, old man, where is this place?"

"Old man?" Bai Suyun didn't know if Yue Fan knew him, but was surprised by his title. "Old man!? This is the first time anyone has called me that. Old man!haha...... Okay! Haha-"

For a while, Yue Fan could hear that Bai Suyun's laughter revealed helplessness and loneliness, more like resentment.

Leaning less, Bai Suyun restrained his expression and said, "The old man has lost his temper, little brother, don't care." ”

Yue Fan was silent, looking at the old man quietly, waiting for an answer.

"Hehe!" Bai Suyun laughed dryly and said, "I call it 'Chaotic Forest' here, and it is the place where the old man lives in seclusion. Originally, in order to prevent outsiders from breaking in, I laid out "Chaos Array" here, but I didn't expect to be broken in by you, it's really fate!"

"Where is the Chaos Array?" Yue Fan was born as a hunter, so he was naturally very interested in the formation.

Bai Suyun looked at the broken wood and piles around him, smiled helplessly, and said, "It's all smashed by you, it seems that you will have to start over after a while...... However, the little brother's method of 'breaking the formation with strength' is really remarkable. I don't know the name of the little brother, who is the teacher?"

Yue Fan looked around, and then he realized that the wooden stakes everywhere were chaotic and orderly. If it weren't for the crazy smashing of his fists and feet and breaking through this formation, he might still be trapped in the formation. Of course, Yue Fan didn't think that this formation could trap him here.

"Under Li Yuefan, there is no teacher. Because of the anger in his heart, he broke into this place by mistake and vented, don't be surprised by the old man!" After finishing speaking, Yue Fan gave up his hand.

"There is no teacher, could it be that all the martial arts are practiced by yourself?" Bai Suyun didn't mean to blame, just looked at Yue Fan in amazement.

Yue Fan nodded silently.

Bai Suyun is not a worldly person, and he doesn't care about Yue Fan's attitude, but admires his tenacious temperament very much. So he smiled and said, "I set up a hair here to isolate people from the outside world." I didn't expect you to break into it like this, it seems that I have to say that fate is mysterious! Since there is fate, why don't you go to the old man's house and get together, so that I can also do my best to be a landlord?"

The sudden invitation didn't make Yue Fan feel that there was anything wrong, he could feel that the other party had no malicious intent. Moreover, he was also about to ask for advice on the art of this formation.

"Okay!" After thinking for a while, Yue Fan happily agreed.

"Please!"

Bai Suyun raised his hand and walked towards the bushes.

......

The way of the formation changes strangely, and sometimes, one's own eyes become an obstacle to deceiving oneself.

Yue Fan followed closely behind Bai Suyun with a good step, along the way, through countless formations, the changes made him palpitate for a while, if no one led the way, the person who broke into the formation would be trapped here. Thinking that he inadvertently broke the "Chaos Array", Yue Fan couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

After crossing the swamp and the stream, the two finally stopped in front of a mountain wall.

There was no way forward, just when Yue Fan was wondering, Bai Suyun stepped forward, knocked on the uneven mountain wall a few times, and then retreated.

"Boom-boom-"

A large rock protrudes forward on the mountain wall, and then slowly opens. Such an exquisite design made Yue Fan feel for the first time that his trap was so vulgar.

Seeing Yue Fan's look of amazement, Bai Suyun said slightly smugly: "This mechanism is well designed, hehe!"

Yue Fan nodded and said, "You did it?"

"Uh!" Bai Suyun smiled dryly: "My friend helped me get it, I was too troublesome at first, but it's okay this way, it saves a lot of trouble, hehe!"

......

Walking through the crooked cave, the eyes suddenly open up.

The sky is high and wide, the clouds are full of mist, and there are towering cliffs on all sides, and there is no end in sight. The surrounding area is green, full of exotic flowers and plants, insects and birds playing, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

A large waterhole in the center reflects the pleasant scenery of the valley. Under the refraction of light, a pool of lake water ripples with blue waves, exuding a little scale light.

What a fairyland on earth......

After four years of killing on the battlefield, Yue Fan has become indifferent to beautiful things. The exhaustion in his heart has long made him clear the cruelty of reality! In the world, there is no beautiful place.

But when he stepped into this peaceful place, his heart, which had been hanging for many days, suddenly relaxed. Looking ahead in a daze, feeling the gentle breeze, there was no longer the slightest bit of depression.

Seeing that Yue Fan was so intoxicated, Bai Suyun didn't bother, and walked to a small thatched hut not far from the waterhole by himself. Then he removed a duster from the roof beam and walked to the back of the hut......

It was a very old tomb, it should have been a long time, and even the tombstone in front of the tomb showed an old color. The surrounding golden chrysanthemums bloom all over the place, beautiful and eye-catching. If it weren't for the owner's frequent cleaning, I'm afraid it would have been overgrown with weeds.

"Min'er ......"

Bai Suyun gently took care of the old tombstone with a duster, and her eyes were full of tenderness and sadness.

......

"Is it your relative?" Yue Fan didn't know when he walked over.

Bai Suyun didn't blame, shook his head gently, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and said, "No, she is my enemy." She killed the person I loved the most with her own hands......"

Such a contradictory feeling made Yue Fan slightly stunned. Looking at the tomb, and then at Bai Suyun in front of the tomb, Yue Fan seemed to understand something, and said softly: "I understand!"

Bai Suyun's body trembled slightly, it was the tremor of his heart. Then he came back to his senses and asked with a smile: "Little brother, what do you know?" ”

Yue Fan looked at the mound and said in a deep voice, "She killed herself!"

"......" Bai Suyun was silent, but the heavy look on his face had already told others that what Yue Fan said was not wrong.

......

After a period of silence, Bai Suyun straightened his expression, looked at Yue Fan and said, "The white-haired boy's head, I can't untie it, I am sad, I am sad, I am sad...... Little brother, you are a young man with white hair and a gloomy expression, you must also be a person with a story!"

"......" Yue Fan also chose to be silent, because he didn't know what to say!

"Alas, this kid ......" Bai Suyun sighed in her heart, and said: "I haven't been here for a long time! I wonder if you are interested in listening to my old man's nagging?"

"If you want to speak, I'll listen. Yue Fan said seriously.

"Good, good!" Bai Suyun was very happy, and turned his head to look at the grave, remembering and remembering.

"I've been living in seclusion here for more than 40 years...... The spring is gone, recalling the youth and frivolity, what should life be...... I think that at the beginning, I, Bai Suyun, was originally a descendant of the Bai family, the god of medicine. Ying has loved martial arts since he was a child, and he has no interest in medicine, so I am unwilling to be persecuted by the elders and resolutely choose to leave the Bai family. I was less than 10 years old......

I wandered around Lang, learning from teachers, trying to prove that I was on the right path to be seen by others...... The road to the rivers and lakes was bloody and helpless, relying on my own faith and hard work, I overcame many difficulties and life and death, and stepped into the innate realm at the age of twenty. Such an impressive achievement can be regarded as a legend in the rivers and lakes. But what makes me most fortunate is that I met Min'er, the most beloved person in my life......

Back then, in order to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, I temporarily stranded this relationship and made her wait for ten years...... Ten years! hey, that's the most precious time in life...... Finally, ten years later, I gathered the strengths of a hundred schools of thought and created the "General Outline of the Martial Classics" by myself, until the Mahayana ......"

Bai Suyun and Yue Fan sat cross-legged in front of the grave, one talking seriously, while the other listened silently.

"As a martial arts Mahayana, I am inevitably a little arrogant and have offended many masters in the rivers and lakes...... On the top of Huashan, in order to prove myself, I made an appointment with eight innate masters in black and white...... I won that battle...... The power of this battle shook the world, and he was respected as the 'White Martial Emperor' and listed as one of the top ten masters in the world. Bai Suyun paused, his eyes were confused, as if he was recalling the battle of the year.

......

"After the war, I didn't feel satisfied, I felt very lonely. It turned out that martial arts was not my life's pursuit, and I longed for peaceful happiness more in my heart. In order to compensate for my guilt to Min'er, I withdrew from the rivers and lakes, took her with her, and took her to the mountains and forests, and was at ease......"

Speaking of this, Bai Suyun clenched his fists, but his indifferent expression couldn't show the pain in his heart.

“...... One day five years later, all the major factions in the rivers and lakes came to seek revenge. I wanted to take my wife and daughter to avoid the disputes, but Min'er threw herself into the enemy with a child who was less than a year old......"

Yue Fan was stunned, but did not answer. He knew that he couldn't understand how Bai Suyun felt at that time.

Bai Suyun took a deep breath and said, "Later, I realized that she was originally a disciple of the Emei faction, and she was entrusted by her master to stay by my side all the time...... It's just that I never thought that they would spend more than ten years weaving a lie! Ten years, how many decades are there in life, and when we are old, what else can we pursue......

In order to get my lifelong martial arts education, black and white walked together shamelessly, and even threatened the lives of my wife and children. It's ridiculous! Min'er has done so much for them, but in the end, she has been ruthlessly abandoned......"

"Min'er, do you know? I never blame you, really! We have been together for more than ten years, and your affection is so hard that I can't feel it? It's just that our positions are different. I know that in fact, your heart is even more uncomfortable than mine, deceiving your most beloved person, no one can experience that pain except yourself!"

Bai Suyun looked at the tombstone, and his sad tone made Yue Fan's heart tremble.

"I was already seriously injured, and I wanted to hand over my martial arts in exchange for my wife and children, but they were not satisfied and asked me to abolish my martial arts. Hey...... I am not wise, but I am not ignorant. If they can do such shameless things, do they still want us to live! If it spreads to the rivers and lakes, what face do they have to face the people of the world......

If I don't resist, I will definitely die! But if I resist, then Min'er and the child will ......

If this continues, it will be a fatal situation. Min'er didn't expect things to come to this point, but it was too late to regret it. She wanted me to leave alive, she ...... So, desperately resisting, she snatched the knife from the enemy's hand and stabbed herself in the heart! At that time, our child also 'slept' peacefully in her arms......

Looking at the look in her eyes as she fell, I knew that it was a relief, and there was a kind of longing and expectation, hoping that I could forgive her. It was then that I realized that my most important thing had been lost, forever...... I hated it so much at that time, I really hated it! In vain, Bai Suyun was a hero with world-class martial arts, but in the end, I could only watch my relatives die in front of me, but I couldn't do anything. Seriously injured, I fled in a hurry with Min'er and their corpses...... Finally drove me to the precipice.

Perhaps, God wanted me to leave this life to avenge my life! After falling off the cliff, I fell into a waterhole and was lucky to survive...... The waterhole in front of the hut was where I fell off a cliff. ”

Bai Suyun spoke calmly in a slightly hoarse voice. But Yue Fan could feel his helplessness and despair at that time.

Sometimes, the deeper the love, the deeper the hatred, and the more painful the heart will be. In order to vent this pain, I returned to the rivers and lakes after my injury......"

In Bai Suyun's faint tone, Yue Fan seemed to be able to smell a bloody storm. A person who stands at the pinnacle of martial arts wants revenge, can the rivers and lakes still be calm?

Holding the sword in his hand, the blood is also thick, and he is helpless and sad!

The road is endless, empty and sad, people have gone away and are sad and extinguished, how to come to a glass of wine to look at the sky, drink it and fill the heart.

......

Yue Fan listened to Bai Suyun's story quietly, and a trace of sadness appeared in his heart. In his eyes, the old man in front of him was no longer one of the top ten masters in the world, but a lonely old man. is like Li Yun in prison back then, although they have all been brilliant, but in the end, there is no one by their side, except for loneliness, it is endless waiting, and I don't know what to wait for?

Bai Suyun looked at the old tombstone and said with a little sadness: "Little brother, I guess you can also guess where the first place I will go when I return to the rivers and lakes!"

Yue Fan nodded and said, "Hate is greater than love, even if I haven't experienced it, I can feel it...... You should have gone to Emei first!"

"Not bad!" Bai Suyun smiled slightly and said calmly: "That's where Min'er grew up, so I want to go and see it." Still, I didn't hurt any of them, even though they were the culprits. I know that this is Min'er's last wish, although she didn't say it, but I know it......

In order to take revenge, I traveled all over the world, and after two years, I successively killed more than 60 black and white masters, as well as other people who participated. I didn't let go of the people in the court who were hiding in the shadows that day...... It was a naked killing, and even if they gathered, they couldn't compete with me, after all, when it came to a certain strength, no matter how many people there were, they couldn't make up for the gap in the middle...... They are just numbers in my eyes!"

"They're just numbers in my eyes!"

Such words made Yue Fan's heart tremble, not fear, nor excitement, but recognition and shock of the gap. In his mind, congenital masters like the four brothers of the Wu family have already made him helpless, not to mention being the enemy of the entire rivers and lakes, even if he can protect himself, it will be difficult to move an inch in the future, let alone take revenge and find relatives.

Yue Fan couldn't help but think of his father's words: "In the face of absolute power, any conspiracy is superfluous. However, as a hunter, you should know how to use wisdom to keep yourself alive. ”

......

Bai Suyun continued: "After this battle, the major forces and sects have all suffered a great loss of vitality...... The revenge was avenged, and the resentment in my heart was gone, and I have been living in seclusion here ever since......"

"One of the top ten masters?" Yue Fan thought in his heart, and said curiously: "You are so retaliating, is there no one in the rivers and lakes to stop you?"

Bai Suyun looked at Yue Fan and said lightly, "You mean the rest of the nine masters, right?"

"Hmm. Yue Fan nodded.

"Hehe~~~ The top ten masters in the world have their own connections, and the relationship is complicated. There's too much involved...... Little brother, you still don't want to know. Bai Suyun said kindly.

"I don't know what I shouldn't know, I understand. "Yue Fan has never been a curious person, unless he thinks he needs to know!

......

The atmosphere of silence soothed the faint sorrow in my heart.

After a while, Bai Suyun got up and patted the dust, and asked Yue Fan, "Little brother, do you know how to play chess?"

"Yes. Yue Fan also stood up as he spoke.

"Hehe! Who taught you. ”

"My grandfather!"

Thinking of Grandpa Wan, Yue Fan felt deeply in his heart: "I don't know if Grandpa Wan is in good health now?"

Seeing Yue Fan's expression, Bai Suyun chuckled lightly and said, "It's been a long time since anyone has played chess with me, why don't you take a game with my old man?"

"Uh......"

Yue Fan originally planned that after completing Li Yun's entrustment, he would break into Cai Qian again to find the whereabouts of his relatives...... Although he had something to do, he didn't want to refuse the old man's invitation.

Yue Fan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay! I haven't played chess for a long time." ”

"You ......" Bai Suyun saw Yue Fan's melancholy look and wanted to persuade him, but looking at Yue Fan's white hair, he didn't know what to say for a while. The young man has white hair, how can others understand the feelings of the person concerned.

Yue Fan also knew what Bai Suyun thought, but he didn't care. Perhaps, his heart has never been young!

In the end, Bai Suyun had no choice but to shake his head and sigh, and said, "Little brother, you are a smart person, you should understand if I tell you so much...... Come with me!"

......
