The night passed.

This night was an ordinary night for most of the disciples of the Leaving Sorrow Sect, but for fifteen-year-old Lin Yizhi, this night was destined to be a night of anxiety, panic, worry, and so on.

The young man, who had not lit a candle, sat there all night, and the slightest sound that was almost negligible would startle him suddenly, and then he walked briskly to the door, held his breath, and then with great courage he could open the door, and then looked out slowly.

Outside except for the darkness or darkness, the black almost could not reach out to the five fingers, in the second half of the night there was some cold wind blowing his hair, as if caressing the face of this fifteen-year-old boy, when he tried to make sure that no one came back, then his heart calmed down, and he walked into the room in a gloomy manner, and the next moment he was already soaked.

What a difficult night it was? Lin Yizhi repeated this seemingly silly and ridiculous action back and forth, perhaps, only in this way that the boundless fear did not seem so obvious, and maybe only in this way could he barely maintain that calm.

It wasn't until the distant mountains in the extreme east had some vague outlines that Lin Yizhi relieved himself, the sky was about to dawn, and no one came back, perhaps, he was safe.

After the fear, what is next? Lin Yizhi sat at the head of the bed, his legs curled, his hands on his knees, and his senses, which had already recovered, told him that this matter was very strange, and it was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

Although Lin Yizhi is honest, he is definitely not stupid, and his head is definitely enough. Last night's events seemed to be all a coincidence, but the danger signals released inside were exactly what made Lin Yizhi feel creepy.

Lin Yizhi sat at the head of the bed like that, closed his eyes, tried his best to calm down, and then his brain spun rapidly, and in an instant, many seemingly independent but not coincidental fragments in his brain slowly emerged.

Lin Yizhi still remembered that Zeng Ruijin, as the best senior brother to himself, had mentioned one thing more than once by his side, and asked him to keep it secret, that is, the senior brother seemed to hear the voice of a stranger in Bai Limu's room one day five years ago, and was prevaricated by Bai Limu and denied the past. Lin Yizhi didn't think this matter was very important at the time, maybe it was that the senior brother heard it wrong. But what happened last night suddenly showed that all this could be true!

Why did the man in white in the bronze mask who left five years ago and now come back suddenly appeared under his window when Mo Youfeng was the only one? Last time he was stealing the sword, but what was it for this time? There is a ridiculous explanation that it is for the unfinished wrestling bet five years ago, this absurd reason Lin Yizhi would never believe it. So what exactly is this white-clothed bronze masked man here for?

And the second senior brother, who is usually quite cold and lonely and alone, why did he choose to suddenly return when everyone was leaving the Sorrow Mountain Gate, and also came to his own house? The time of return was late at night. Obviously he already knew that this Mo Youfeng had no one else but himself now, and why did this Bai Limu suddenly come back late at night, and the target was still himself!

How can these abnormal phenomena be explained? There is only one answer, which is obviously presented in front of Lin Yizhi's eyes, no matter how much he doesn't believe it, he can't ignore it, that is, this white-clothed masked man and his second senior brother Bai Limu are all prepared, and they definitely appear in front of their room by chance, and their most plausible purpose is that they are all coming for themselves!

However, what is the value of letting the two of them come at the same time, the young man in the white mask must be trying to take his life, but what about the second senior brother Bai Limu?

Crisis! The huge sense of crisis touched Lin Yizhi's already fragile nerves. It's easy to explain that the white-clothed mask wants to kill himself, except for all the most unknown reasons, the most direct thing is that he is Mo Youfeng's person, and he is the person who kills the poison sect. So, what about Bai Limu, who chose to come back quietly in the middle of the night in such a dark night, when there was no one but him, if he didn't want to kill himself, what explanation could he have? But why did he kill him?

A cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow slowly spread from Lin Yizhi's heart, as if his heart was also cold and cold at the next moment, without a trace of life.

Perhaps, the second senior brother is just worried about himself, so come back and take a look. Lin Yizhi thought of some self-comfort, and then felt that this was the only explanation that could put him at ease for a while.

The sky was slowly bright, and Bai Limu never returned.

With the sound of monkeys playing, interrupting Lin Yizhi's thoughts, Lin Yizhi slowly walked out of bed, gently pushed open the door, Zeng Ruijin, Xiao Gangyan, and Duan Langkun appeared in the front yard of the Wendao Hall with a smile, it seemed that they were coming back for breakfast, and then returning.

However, Lin Yi saw the white figure walking at the end - Bai Limu at a glance! He still had an indifferent look on his face, and his cold eyes didn't seem to have looked at him.

Lin Yizhi suppressed all kinds of bad emotions and greeted them with a faint smile. It's just that the slightly darkened eye circles were looked at by Zeng Ruijin, Zeng Ruijin smiled and said: "Little junior brother, it seems that you didn't sleep well last night, why is it not enough for you to sleep alone in such a big Mo Youfeng front yard!"

Lin Yizhi peeked at Bai Limu at the back, only to see Bai Limu looking at the mountains in the distance indifferently, with a look of not doing anything else on his face, Lin Yizhi immediately understood, it turned out that Bai Limu did not tell Zeng Ruijin about last night's incident, so from the other side, Lin Yizhi was even more sure that Bai Limu returned last night, and no one else knew except himself.

Lin Yizhi smiled, and said without a look on his face: "I wasn't worried that your senior brothers worked too hard in front of the mountain gate last night, so they didn't sleep well!"

Zeng Ruijin and the others smiled and said, "It's still the little junior brother who has this heart." ”

While talking and laughing, Lu Xiyue walked over from the backyard and said, "Senior brothers, my mother knows that you have worked hard, so she specially made cloud lotus root lotus seed soup, you all come to the inner room to eat." ”

The crowd cheered and went to the inner room.

Lin Yizhi was pulled by Lu Xiyue, and said quite puzzled: "Sister Xiyue, what's wrong?"

Lu Xiyue smiled and said: "Let's not go to eat, the new disciples will come one after another in three days, I just gave my mother, let's go to Liyang, catch up early in the morning, maybe we can catch up with the morning set." ”

Lin Yizhi was frightened for a night, and he was already hungry at this time, how could the little junior sister be in a good mood, seeing her smiling like a flower, Lin Yizhi suddenly felt that those bad emotions were slowly disappearing, so he nodded with a smile and said: "That's great! Maybe, I can catch up with my favorite tofu flowers! It's just that I don't know if she can do it?"

Lu Xiyue didn't seem to notice it, but suddenly asked with interest: "Is the tofu flower made by him, a man and a woman, really so delicious?"

Lin Yizhi looked at Lu Xiyue's pretty face, and just smiled, but Lu Xiyue didn't ask, with a soft snort, the green jade flute glowed with pale green light, soft and good-looking. As soon as the pink shadow floated, Lu Xiyue was already standing firmly on the green jade flute, and then waved his hand at Lin Yiyi and said, "Brother Yizhi come up!"

............

Cangshan smiled, the clouds were misty, Lin Yizhi's feet stepped on the green jade flute, looking at the pink back in front of him who was focused on controlling the green jade flute. Under his feet was the veil-like mist, and the warm and warm sun above his head never seemed to shine so gently on his face. The breeze is blowing, and the roar of the green jade flute is crisp and beautiful, like a heavenly sound that resounds through the sky. Lu Xiyue's gauzy skirt fluttered in the wind, the corners of the skirt gently brushed from Lin Yizhi's face, a faint fragrance came, and Lin Yizhi gently closed his eyes.

How good would it be if the tranquility and coziness of this moment were forever?

Five years ago, the thin teenager, panicked like a lost dog escaped from Fengling Village outside Liyang City, almost between life and death into this Liyang Mountain, five years later, it is still that young man, in the drunken spring breeze, and the peerless girl who seems to appear in a dream, stepping on the colorful auspicious clouds under his feet, like a dream and returning to the sky above this Liyang City.

In a trance, it was like a reincarnation, from one starting point to the other again.

Five years of dreams, the basalt piled up of the tall Liyang City Gate, the magnificent and vast surging water, the bustling red dust in the world, are you okay? Once, that innocent young man was returning from the wind to visit the old friend who had long been yellowed in his memory......

The past is like yesterday, and things are not people. In Lin Yizhi's slowly closed eyes, a line of tears slowly crossed his face.

A silver bell-like voice interrupted Lin Yizhi's leisurely thoughts, but it was Lu Xiyue who said: "Brother Yizhi, I'm a little tired, it's most tiring to walk in the sky like this, wouldn't it be better for us to lower the clouds and enjoy the beautiful scenery on the roadside while walking? Besides, it's not far from Yangcheng." ”

In fact, how long has it been in the sky, I'm afraid that tiredness is just an excuse made by Lu Xiyue, and staying with Lin Yizhi for a while is this girl's mind.

Lin Yizhi couldn't think of this, he really thought that Lu Xiyue was tired, but he couldn't bear it in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Then let's go down quickly, it's just that my cultivation is not high, and I can't resist the sword, otherwise I won't drag down Sister Xiyue." ”

Lu Xiyue smiled, Qingyu Xiao slowly fell, and after a while, the two of them were already standing on the ground.

As soon as he landed, he heard the sound of water all over his ears, but the sound of water was dingdingdong, which was very pleasant. The two of them searched for the sound of the water, and when they had not walked long, they saw a large river, which was too wide, but the water was sparkling, and under the sunlight, a few golden swimming fish burrowed into the stones in the river, and only made a shallow splash.

"It's so cool water!" Lu Xiyue was very excited, put her pretty cheeks on the surface of the water, gently picked up a handful of clear water, and then put her hand away in the warm sunshine, the clear water droplets, reflecting the sunlight, reflected on her smiling face, but it was beautiful.

Simply, she took off the little boots on her feet, jumped into the water barefoot, and then kept laughing in the water, the white little feet stirred up a shallow splash, flying between the corners of her pink skirt, and the end was pretty and bright, beautiful.

Lin Yizhi sat on the river beach, looking at his lively and crazy little junior sister with a smile, and the kind of pampered and satisfied look on his face appeared, but it was also very comfortable.

Lu Xiyue is more and more cheerful the more she runs, but it is not that she is rare and strange, she has been spoiled by Lu Wujian and his wife all day long, and she has not left the mountain for fifteen years, this time if she didn't take advantage of Lu Wujian's retreat, she would have been able to come out with a good hum, but it was the first time she had seen such a wide and clear river.

Lin Yizhi saw that she ran a little far, and said with some worry: "Don't run too far, this water is very deep, be careful of falling in!"

Lu Xiyue smiled happily: "This water is fun, but I don't know what the name of this water is!"

Lin Yizhi smiled lightly, and said with a bit of nostalgia on his face: "I know this water, and it's called Lishui." ”

Lu Xiyue shook her head, and said with some disapproval: "How can such a beautiful water be called such a name, the word 'leave' is inappropriate!"

Lin Yizhi didn't answer, he looked at the rolling water, his thoughts had already flown five years ago.

"Off the water, hehe. Lin Yizhi said with a wry smile, in fact, this name is very appropriate, five years ago, it was here that he was forced to flee from Fengling Village, isolated from the hustle and bustle of this world, and since then the red dust has been slim, and those people and things are getting farther and farther away from him. It was on this waterfront that he was forced to separate from his uncle, who was called Heiya.

He will never forget that on the shore of the water, the majestic man in black, at that stormy moment, resolutely gave up the opportunity to escape, rushed towards the group of killers like demons without regrets, and then looked at the once thin boy and roared loudly: "Run! Run towards the mountain of sorrow!" From then on, this black end, whether it is life or death, is all empty and misty.

The thoughts are long, just like last night.

Lin Yizhi's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Lu Xiyue's cheerful laughter, but she saw that this girl was even more crazy, that is, she tucked the pink skirt, revealing half of the pink and slender **, and the sound of treading water was endless.

Lin Yizhi cleaned up his mood, and suddenly felt that the past two days had been sad and sad.

So, adjusting his mood, he joked to Lu Xiyue: "You crazy girl, if you don't restrain a little, I'm afraid you won't be able to marry in the future." ”

Lu Xiyue was in the water, her face was like a flower, she only smiled, and she was thrillingly beautiful: "I can't get married, but it's very good!"

Lin Yizhi was puzzled and said, "How can this be explained?"

Lu Xiyue said with a smile: "If you can't get married, you won't marry, isn't it great to be crazy with Brother Yizhi every day?"

After all, it was red clouds and cheeks, and he was shy.

Lin Yizhi is really a wood, but he doesn't understand how to do it, so he just smiled and said: "Then I don't dare, you are still married, if you are so crazy with me every day, the master will drive me out of the Sect of Sorrow!"

When Lu Xiyue heard this, she didn't get angry, she only bit her silver teeth, stomped her little feet, and said coquettishly: "It's good to get rid of your wood, so as not to be stupid!"

Lin Yizhi's second monk asked with a puzzled expression: "What are you used to? Why are you angry with me!"

Lu Xiyue giggled, beckoned to him, and said, "Come over and get closer, and I'll tell you!"

Lin Yizhi didn't know what to do, and walked quickly towards the water, never thinking that he had just come to Lu Xiyue's side, Lu Xiyue raised his hand, and a large splash of water splashed on Lin Yizhi's body from head to toe, Lin Yizhi was embarrassed, haha laughed and came to catch Lu Xiyue, the two of you chased me, and laughter sprinkled all over the valley.

The two of them walked down the river for about half an hour, and in front of them was a small village.

This village is not very large, there are dozens of families, scattered on the flat land at the bottom of the mountain, all as far as the eye can see, there are some low thatched huts, the mountain people are indeed poor and tight. It's just that the grass is green, and the whole village is lush, but it also has a different taste.

Lu Xiyue said: "Brother Yizhi, let's go to the village in front of us to rest, and by the way, ask where this is, how far away from Liyang is." ”

Lin Yizhi nodded, and the two walked towards the village.

The mountain road is like this, and if you walk the village in front of you, it will take a long time.

Finally came to the entrance of the village, but Lin Yizhi stopped and looked at the village in front of him in confusion.

At first glance, the huts are low, and the countryside is peaceful and tranquil. But now that the time has come, the village is quiet, and the villagers should get up at this time, and the chimneys on the huts should be smoky, and after this breakfast, the people of the village will begin their busy day. Lin Yizhi was surprised to find that there was no smoke rising from the chimney of a thatched hut in this village. Isn't it true that the people of this village have not yet risen?

But there is not even the sound of chickens and dogs barking, what is going on?

Lu Xiyue had never lived in this worldly village, so naturally she didn't understand the strangeness inside, and seeing that Lin Yizhi hesitated not to enter the village, she said coquettishly: "You wood, go quickly, why are you in a daze?"

Lin Yizhi remained silent, but he was more careful in his heart, and slowly spread out the hidden divine consciousness on his body, his divine consciousness was actually already in the realm of the Great Perfection of Exorcising Things, one was because he was firm in his mind, and his cultivation of this path was much faster than his own cultivation, and second, he himself did not know that his divine consciousness had reached this height, and the Yin Li Sect cultivation on his body did not know how high it was, but he also thought that this was just the foundation of the Infinite Dao of Anxiety and Divine Consciousness.

Everywhere the gods passed, it was quiet, except for no people, basically all the huts were empty, and there was nothing else. Lin Yizhi slowly retracted his senses, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that there was nothing wrong, I was afraid that this village had already been abandoned. Fang Dao: "Okay, little junior sister, let's go in." ”

The two of them then stepped into this somewhat deserted village, and along the way, they found that this village was much more desolate and dilapidated than the one they saw outside.

The roads in the village are bumpy, I am afraid that they have long been in disrepair, some of the thatched huts are either missing roofs or half collapsed, and the deep well at the entrance of the village has long since dried up, leaving only the rusty well ropes and iron buckets in front of the well. Even the sides of the many huts were covered with unknown weeds, which were more than half a man tall, and they were all pale white, drifting left and right with the breeze, adding to the desolation.

"It seems that no one lives here!" Lu Xiyue walked around.

Lin Yizhi saw the scene in front of him and relaxed a little, it seems that this village has been abandoned for a long time, and he was about to answer, when he suddenly heard a "squeak" behind him, and it seemed that the door of a thatched hut had opened.

Lin Yizhi and Lu Xiyue turned around at the same time, they walked around several times just now and didn't find a single person, how could there be a sound of the thatched hut door ringing at this time?

The two of them saw the door of a hut on the left slowly open, and then gently closed again, as if they were quite frightened, and after a while, a small crack opened, and then closed again in an instant.

Lin Yizhi's expression tightened suddenly, his eyes stared at the door, Lu Xiyue suddenly became serious, and with a slight snort, the green jade flute slowly floated in front of him.

The doors of the hut were clicked three or two times, and at last they were all opened.

When Lin Yizhi and Lu Xiyue saw the situation inside, they were all relieved.

A rickety old woman, described as withered, full of silver hair, holding a bamboo pole, the thin hand that can clearly see the bone joints has long been covered with calluses, the right hand is holding a girl about three or four years old, followed by two children, both boys, only five or six years old, looking at the face, are yellow and thin, and the expression is languid.

The old woman seemed to be dizzy, and looked hard at Lin Yizhi and Lu Xiyue in front of her, and then seemed to be a little frightened to protect the youngest female baby behind her, and at the same time, the two male babies behind her seemed to be quite frightened, both hiding behind the old woman, only poking out half of their heads, and their immature faces were quite frightened.

The old woman's face was full of panic and vigilance, and her voice was low and trembling: "You... You guys...... What do you want to do? This place is already ruined by you, why do you want to come back?"

Lin Yizhi and Lu Xiyue were both stunned, and knew that this old woman was afraid that she had misunderstood that they had become villains, Lin Yizhi approached gently, and then smiled as gently as possible, and then said very softly: "Grandma, we are not villains, we are people who are learning the Tao in Liwu Mountain, passing by here, we want to go to Liyang City, and want to ask for a bowl of water to drink." ”

The old woman was suspicious, rubbed her eyes and looked at it for a long time, and then the panic slowly subsided, and she trembled and said: "Oh, old woman, my eyes are dizzy, how can two children who are so watery be monsters? Then he turned to the dolls behind him and said, "Don't be afraid, grandchildren, these two big brothers and sisters are not monsters......

The dolls ran out from behind the old woman and went to the hut first.

Lin Yizhi and Lu Xiyue followed the old woman to the thatched hut. Then he looked at it.

This so-called home has long been a house with four walls, there is nothing on the mud walls on all sides, it is empty, and there are several piles of straw in the house, and there are some patches on the straw and there is nothing other than the shapeless quilt with patches.

There was a not very big water tank in the east corner, and the old woman found a broken bowl out of nowhere, scooped a bowl of water and handed it to Lu Xiyue and said, "The people in the mountains are poor, don't be surprised by the two children." ”

Lu Xiyue took the bowl and didn't drink it, but said strangely: "Grandma, why did you say that you were all plagued here when you first met?"

Lin Yizhi was also very concerned, and retracted his eyes to look at this old woman.

The old woman mourned and said: "Alas, evil, in fact, we still had someone here three months ago, I don't know when, a group of monsters came here, came to this village at every turn, and took some people away, making the village panic, and those who could escape fled, the old woman I was dizzy, and I couldn't escape, so I stayed to take care of these fatherless and motherless orphans." I mistook you two for a youkai! Girl, drink quickly. Hurry up after drinking, this monster hasn't been here for a few days, maybe it will come in a while!"

Lu Xiyue smiled and said: "If the monster doesn't come, it's cheap, if he comes, he won't come back!"

Lin Yizhi smiled and said, "I just dare to ask grandma, what kind of place is this?"

The old woman smiled and said, "You are outsiders, this place is called Hongjiapo." ”

Lin Yizhi smiled, and suddenly his smile became extremely stiff, Hong Jiapo? Hong Jiapo! This place is so familiar! Between the lightning and flint, Lin Yizhi suddenly remembered something!

Lin Yizhi hurriedly turned his head to look like Lu Xiyue, only to see Lu Xiyue pick up the bowl and was about to drink water.

Lin Yizhi's body suddenly burst out, and he came to Lu Xiyue in an instant, and kicked the bowl away, and the bowl was hit by this blow, and flew straight out and shattered.

Lu Xiyue was obviously stunned by Lin Yizhi's sudden moment, and was about to speak, but saw the water in the broken bowl gurgling on the ground, turning into blood with brown smoke!

Lu Xiyue encountered a sudden change, and her voice was frightened: "Brother Yizhi, this is ...... What the hell is going on?"

Lin Yizhi's brows furrowed, he pointed at the old woman in front of him with his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Hehe, I still have to ask her!

When the old woman saw that the matter was revealed, a strange smile suddenly appeared on her face, and her face, which was already bloodless, suddenly became extremely distorted and elongated, like a demon in hell.

At the same time, the scenery in front of Lin Yizhi and Lu Xiyue suddenly began to change, and in a moment, the villages and thatched huts were gone, replaced by a desolate and gloomy mass grave!

Lin Yizhi and Lu Xiyue only felt that there were countless ghosts flying in front of them, and the eerie and terrifying ghost cry in their ears went straight to the bottom of their hearts, and in an instant, even the clear sky became gloomy and obscure.

The yin wind gusted, the corpse was angry, and it was like a temple in front of him.

And the old woman just now was already cloaked at this time, her face was distorted, and she made a strange scream, her withered hands suddenly swelled, and her sharp black nails shone with a cold light, and she grabbed Lin Yizhi's shoulders fiercely, and her body was everywhere, and the smell of a dilapidated rotting corpse was even more unpleasant.

With the attack of this thing that has long become a ghost, the ghosts floating in all directions are all fangs and claws, and they are terrifying.

Lin Yizhi was not nervous, and said coldly: "Evil Yin Corpse! I should have thought of it a long time ago!"

Where had Lu Xiyue seen such an eerie and terrifying scene, she only stood on the spot in fright, Lin Yizhi saw that several floating yin spirits were roaring towards her, and couldn't help shouting: "Sister Xiyue, don't be afraid, the mana of the evil yin corpse is not strong, quickly sacrifice the green jade flute!" As he spoke, his fists were like the wind, hitting the yin corpses that rushed towards him, and those yin corpses were all ghosts crying, and their gods were scattered.

It's just this distraction, and the claws of the most powerful evil yin corpse that has just transformed into an old woman have been deeply embedded in Lin Yizhi's left shoulder. Lin Yizhi snorted and flew away, and when he finally stood firm, his left shoulder was already bleeding.

"Ahh

Lu Xiyue turned around, her pink clothes were flying, and she shouted loudly: "You hurt my brother Yizhi! I want you to pay for your life!"

Within the yin wind, the demonic spirit is soaring.

The black and pink figures leaned on each other like this, and in this bloody mist and ghost crying, they warmed each other's frightened hearts, and they went forward to kill outside the village......
