It was another quiet night, and I couldn't remember how many nights there were so similar in its years, above the top of the mountain, the bright moon was shining, between the belly of the mountain, the clouds were curling, and under the abyss, the darkness was rolling. Three regions, three different landscapes, in these long years, unchanged, as if telling the three realms.

It's just that would you rather stand on the top of the mountain, as if you were holding the pinnacle of life, the supreme glory? Or do you want to wander in the belly of the mountain, like seeing all the dust in front of you, prosperous as fog, in a trance? Or do you fall into the bottom of the mountain, bleak and bleak, and the sun is endless?

Life is like this landscape, in the same world, but there are three completely different circumstances, but, which of these three circumstances are you willing to choose?

On a moonlit night, there is no starlight, only a hook-like moon hanging above the middle sky, silver light, sprinkled on the earth, holy and mysterious.

Under such a moon, if there is a glass of wine, a flower, and a wind, it is really a good day.

It's just that people don't know how to appreciate it, and they come and go in a hurry during the day for such and such **, and at night, you can stop and take a look at the most beautiful moonlight in the world, but, because of the shackles of **, people who are physically and mentally exhausted will only fall asleep.

The so-called moon is nothing but unspeakable loneliness.

"The moon is short of people and it is difficult to sleep, and Yunfei can't dream back.

Chang'e cried sorrowfully, waving in the middle of the moon with cold sleeves.

was originally a delicate daughter, but she became lonely.

Sad with a cold rabbit, gloomy osmanthus sad.

The elixir is incense, and Wu Gang hammers secretly.

Everyone in the world looks up, who understands Dugu tears?"

Under the shadow of the moon, a sudden person walked out slowly, carrying a pot of wine in his hand, took a sip gently, and spit out Fang Cai's sentence.

The man's white clothes were like snow, and the long sword behind him was also shining with white light, reflecting on an elegant and dusty face, holding a dragon and phoenix among people, with a stunning appearance.

The person who came was Chu Xiao.

It's just that in the dead of night, he is carrying a wine jug alone, his steps are staggering, his eyes are foggy, and he is far from the elegance of talking and retreating in the past.

Some are depressed and in a trance, their brows are slightly wrinkled, they seem to be laughing and crying, their faces are slightly red, and there are bloodshot in their eyes.

Just walking like that, aimlessly. It seems to be really drunk.

Finally, the somewhat scattered footsteps came to the edge of the cliff and slowly stopped.

Slowly bow your head and look at your feet.

Rolling darkness, under this cliff, roaring and rolling, for some reason, there is an indescribable fear.

Beneath the abyss, there are countless souls, struggling or crying.

He raised his head and sighed, drank the wine in his hand, and then, as if he had exhausted all his strength, threw the wine jug down the cliff.

The jug was instantly engulfed in darkness, and there was not a single sound coming from under the cliff for a long time.

Sitting on the ground in a gloom, there were already two lines of tears.

Chu Xiao muttered suddenly: "It's been fifteen years, I thought I would forget, I thought I would give up the killing intent and be single-minded, but, why, why did that person suddenly appear, and then tell everyone that he is a descendant of Nalan!"

Chu Xiao's voice was low and trance-like, like a dream.

"If he is a descendant of Nalan, then who am I? Fifteen years ago, on the moonlight like this, on the bottomless cliff like this, who was it, looking at the fire in front of him, screaming and killing, and jumping gloomily? It's me!" Chu Xiao's voice was like a cry, like telling an unbearable past.

"But now, why did he dare to say this? Could it be that there was really someone alive that night? Could it be that he was really my younger brother? The blood of the Nalan family?" Chu Xiao's eyes flowed, and his excited expression suddenly calmed down.

"Fifteen years ago, the family was in the middle of the road, and the third uncle fell out with his father and second uncle because of a woman, and then colluded with the three women in the Sanmiao Palace in the vast lake in the south of the Yangtze River, and they should cooperate inside and outside, and slaughtered my Nalan family alive!

Chu Xiao's voice suddenly roared, and the sadness and misery in the voice slowly spread out in this dense night!

"After the real Nalan Sunset, the real heir of the Nalan family is me Chu Xiao! But in front of everyone's eyes, why is he so unscrupulous. Don't even have the courage to stand up? It's not as good as that kid from the condensation period of unknown origin!"

"But why did that kid say that? Is he pretending? What is his intention? Is he reminding me? He suddenly appeared in the Sect of Sorrow, could it be that he is coming at me...... Or ......"

Chu Xiao's heart was suddenly in turmoil, and a thousand thoughts bombarded his mind like a rolling flood. But that person's smile and every word that person said in the face of the three great families were like a highly poisonous needle, piercing his heart fiercely.

He wanted to forget, but he couldn't!

"Ahh

"Qiang-" With a clear sound, a white light, and the Sword of Inquiry burst out, shining in the black sky.

Suddenly raised the sword, and had already made a decision in his heart, no matter who you are, a pretending to be a ghost, or a person with ill intentions, how can I Chu Xiao tolerate you!

Without any further delay, the figure moved, and it was already running towards the bottom of the cliff at a high speed......

Away from the Sorrowful Mountain Gate, the resting place of the new disciples.

Nalan Mingxuan received a message from Lu Xiyue earlier today, and learned the news that Lin Yizhi had turned from danger to safety, a stone had fallen to the ground, and he had dinner early today, and he had nothing to do.

Half leaning on the towering tree, half silent, thinking about his own thoughts for a long time.

Because the Liwu Sect was attacked by the three major cultivation families and Wenjian Valley a few days ago, the matter of accepting disciples was temporarily put on hold, but two days ago, Lu Yun brought a message, saying that it would be less than three or two days, and at most ten days, and the assessment of recruiting disciples would be re-conducted.

Nalan Mingxuan's heart was still a little excited, after all, after this change, the three powerful opponents Ouyang Yue, Shangguan Qingliao and Beigong Boyu had all left, and now among all the new disciples, he had the highest qualification. Therefore, all the situation was extremely favorable to him, but although he had the highest qualifications, his cultivation was not the highest, and among the remaining less than eighty disciples, his cultivation would be ranked outside the twenty.

Although he can rely on spells, but this is a means of using external forces, a few days ago he asked Lu Yun, Lu Yunyan said that three levels, one forest and one trial, these five assessment contents can not be used with external forces, in this way, his advantages have faded, and he really has no confidence in his heart.

Now it is the fourth watch, and all the new disciples have received Lu Yun's answer after waiting for a day, and they are still waiting for the assessment today, so they are all muttering quietly, three in a group, five in a group, boring for a while, and then they all went to bed early.

Only Nalan Mingxuan didn't sleep alone.

In that battle, he was personally experienced and participated, and his mastery fighting method caused a great shock in his heart, and Lin Yizhi pushed him away when he was in danger, and he was even more moved.

I am still too weak, and I still need to be strong quickly, which is serious.

However, he was the only one among all the new disciples who had participated in this great battle, and the indiscriminate bombardment of the spell was also extremely powerful, and these deeds had already spread among the new disciples.

It's just that there are many people who are popular, not only spreading the deeds, but also spreading the rumors, he Nalan Mingxuan has become the first of a certain seat, and even the inner disciple of the Worry Sect.

Nalan Mingxuan was indifferent, hearing that he was just indifferent, not explaining, not denying, it was better to let them go, but even so, it also attracted the jealousy of some people, and vowed to make him look good during the assessment.

Nalan Mingxuan still doesn't care about these, he is just used to going to bed late. Today there was no clouds and the moon was shining, so he habitually came to this tree and looked up to admire the moon.

"Who's up ahead?......"

Nalan Mingxuan looked at the crescent moon in the sky, thinking about his thoughts stupidly, when he suddenly heard someone shouting, raised his head, and followed the voice, but saw a group of people walking towards him with lanterns in their hands.

Nalan Mingxuan stood up, and then the faint light of the lantern, faintly saw that it was a group of people wearing the clothes of the formal disciples of Liwu, and when they got closer, Nalan Mingxuan could see clearly that the leader was Lu Yun, the second disciple of Chenwu Peak.

Nalan Mingxuan hurriedly bowed and said, "It turned out to be Senior Brother Lu Yun, Nalan Mingxuan was offended!"

Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, and he was a little strange in his heart for these ignorant new disciples, who had just passed the crisis in the Sorrowful Mountain, and it was not necessarily safe, so if they came out so late at night, if something went wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But then the lantern looked at it, and the person in front of him, dressed in white, was chic and handsome, it was Nalan Mingxuan.

This Nalan Mingxuan is a popular person for the new disciple in front of him, and according to rumors, several leaders have been secretly arguing for this person, and maybe they may be the beloved disciples of their master and a dedicated Taoist in the future.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly, changed his tone and said: "It's Brother Nalan, it's so much in the middle of the night, and the Sorrow Sect has just been born, why don't you go to rest?"

Nalan Mingxuan was respectful, and did not slack off because he was a disciple of the Mountain Gate, and said with a salute: "But Nalan has a lot of doubts in his heart, which has caused a lot of trouble to Senior Brother Lu, sorry, sorry!"

After that, it was another sweep. But he didn't mean to leave, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and he advanced and retreated.

Lu Yun nodded secretly, and said in his heart, this Nalan Mingxuan is really comparable to Senior Brother Chu Xiao's demeanor. Then he smiled: "Yes, but it's better to be careful!"

After speaking, he turned his head and said to a few disciples behind him: "You guys have worked hard, go here and observe carefully, if there is any trouble, report to me quickly!"

After those disciples left, Lu Yun smiled and groaned: "Brother Nalan is the leader of this new class of disciples, just ask me if you don't understand anything!"

Hearing this, Nalan Mingxuan nodded, and asked very respectfully, "I don't know what these three levels, one forest and one trial mean?"

Lu Yun smiled and said: "I have nothing to do, the night is long, but I have some good tea in my arms, why don't we drink it and chat?"

Nalan Mingxuan was overjoyed, but he didn't pretend to be embarrassed, and said loudly: "So, it couldn't be better!"

The two came in front of a stone table and stone bench not far away, Lu Yun left for a while, and when he returned, he had already brought a pot of water, took out the tea leaves in his arms, brewed two cups, and handed one of them to Nalan Mingxuan.

Nalan Mingxuan raised his nose and smelled it, but it was extremely fragrant and had a long aftertaste. Just a slight smell, the mind is much clearer, and a lot of restlessness is removed.

I couldn't help but blurt out: "Good tea!"

Lu Yun smiled and said: "Brother Nalan drank this tea, but it is a blessing, this tea is called Ask Chenxin, it is unique to my Chenwu Peak, there is nothing else in Chenwu Peak, but there is a large natural tea forest in the back mountain, every tea production season, the tea fragrance bursts, the greenery is full, and it is one of the 36 scenes of my sorrow - the place where the green sea of tea fragrance is! However, my bag of tea is the best of them, it is the new tea buds before and after the Qingming Festival, I did not have it, this tea is only available to my master and a Taoist person, I took advantage of his unpreparedness a few days ago...... Stole some!"

Speaking of this, Lu Yun's face turned red.

"Haha, then I want to taste it even more!" Nalan Mingxuan laughed, picked up the teacup, and slowly tasted the tea.

Lu Yun smiled and said: "Brother Nalan, you are new here, since I still have that Lin Yizhi of Mo Worrying Peak, I will tell you some things about this Worry Sect!"

Nalan Mingxuan was curious for a while: "Oh, Senior Brother Lu and my brother Na Yi also have old stories?"

Lu Yun nodded and said, "He was also sent up the mountain by me, and I originally planned to let him worship under my Chenwu Peak, and the two of us can stay together." But, alas, I'll tell you about it!"

Lu Yun is a chatterbox, open the chatterbox, and his eyebrows are even more dancing, telling the pros and cons of the various veins of the Sorrowful Mountain, but Nalan Mingxuan listens to it with relish, but he is not as stupid as Lin Yizhi back then, and secretly notes down some of the joints.

After Lu Yun finished speaking, Nalan Mingxuan thanked him again and asked, "But I don't know Senior Brother Lu, what are the three levels, one forest and one trial?"

Lu Yun took a sip of tea, and said: "These three levels, one forest and one trial, but it is the rule set by our founding patriarch of the Sorrow Sect, Leaving the Sorrow Sect, anyone who worships my Leaving the Sorrow Sect in a formal way must go through the assessment of these five contents, and only those who pass all the assessments can become the outer door, inner door or core disciple of my Leaving the Sorrow Sect according to their qualifications!"

Nalan Mingxuan nodded thoughtfully. Lu Yun said again: "The so-called three passes, heaven, earth and people. Tianguan will test your qualifications, tenacity, and fairy bones, Diguan, your mind, courage, and perseverance, and Renguan, which will test your reaction, sensitivity, and body style. As for how to test the Fa in these three levels, you will know by then, and that forest is a secret realm that my Ancestor Liwu conjured up with his own power in the mountains behind Liwu Mountain in Changmen!"

"Secret Realm?" Nalan Mingxuan said curiously with interest.

"Yes, that secret realm doesn't exist on weekdays, you need to use a treasure from the master to open the hidden enchantment, enter it, and after entering, it will be a deep forest that has been transformed, but the forest is full of dangers, and there are some unknown demon beasts, so this level is the most difficult!"

Nalan Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "There are still demon beasts? Isn't that life-threatening? It can only be opened with the treasure of the master's sect, what is that treasure?"

Lu Yun smiled and said, "The first time you came to the Sect of Sorrow, I don't know if it's inevitable, this forest is called the Phantom Heaven Forest." It can only be opened with a piece of the Sect of Sorrow called the Heaven Turning Seal, which is an empty flat land on weekdays. Of course, there will be danger if there is a demon beast, and you can also choose to give up directly, but you will lose the qualification to become a member of the Sect of Leaving Worries! It's just that we are prepared for the Sect of Leaving Sorrows, and as for what preparations you have, you will know when the time comes!"

Lu Yun seemed to have deliberately sold Guanzi, and smiled at Nalan Mingxuan.

Nalan Mingxuan didn't care either, but secretly remembered, it turned out that the Leaving Worry Sect not only had the Ancient Divine Sword Immortal Yin, but also a strange treasure called the Heaven Turning Seal.

At that moment, he asked Lu Yun about the content of the Trial Hall, and he kept it in mind, but this time the harvest was quite fruitful, and he quickly stood up and smiled at Lu Yun, bowed down and said, "Nalan thank Senior Brother Lu Yun for his teaching!"

Lu Yun was just about to return the salute, when suddenly, a white light flashed in front of the two, and one appeared silently in front of the two.

Nalan Mingxuan and Lu Yun were both stunned, and they hurriedly looked carefully, and through the moonlight, they saw the person in front of them, dressed in white, with sword eyebrows.

Lu Yun and Nalan Mingxuan recognized this white-clothed man at the same time, who was the chief disciple of Wangwu Peak, Chu Xiao.

When the two of them saw that it was Chu Xiao, they were all happy, so they greeted the past, but when the two of them suddenly saw Chu Xiao's expression, they were all stunned, and they stopped and stood in a daze.

Under the moonlight, Chu Xiao's eyes were cold and murderous, and his whole body was in the white moonlight, exuding a powerful and terrifying killing intent. Those eyes stared at the white-clothed Nalan Mingxuan like him in front of him, the cold light flashed, like a sword.

Lu Yun and Nalan Mingxuan felt at the same time that today's Chu Xiao had an aura that was different from his day.

In the past, Chu Xiao gave people the feeling of peace and handsomeness, but tonight, Chu Xiao exuded a compelling indifference and murderous intent, which made the people in front of him tremble slightly.

In Nalan Mingxuan's heart, an ominous premonition hit his heart.

Lu Yun cautiously asked, "Senior Brother Chu Xiao, you suddenly came here late at night, is there anything wrong?"

Chu Xiao just stared at Nalan Mingxuan's face under the moon, and ignored Lu Yun's question as if he hadn't heard it.

Lu Yun asked twice in succession, but Chu Xiao was still standing there, motionless, but the cold meaning on his face was more solemn.

Suddenly, Chu Xiao suddenly pointed at Nalan Mingxuan, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" The voice was cold, as if it was cold ice that would not melt for thousands of years.

Nalan Mingxuan was still a little puzzled, and when he heard this, he seemed to suddenly understand something, and his expression became neither humble nor arrogant, and his eyes looked straight at Chu Xiao.

The two eyes looked at each other violently.

One is as cold as a knife, and the other is calm.

Nalan Mingxuan said word by word: "I am the son of Nalan Xifeng, the head of the Nalan family, Nalan Mingxuan!"

The voice fell, and in addition to the still coldness in Chu Xiao's eyes, there was a trace of doubt and hesitation.

Speechless for a long time, Chu Xiao was still staring at Nalan Mingxuan, as if he wanted to see his soul.

For a long time, Chu Xiao's eyes only left the killing intent of slaughter, and nothing else.

"Qiang-" The white light flashed, the Asking Heart Sword was already out of the body, and the killing intent that poured into the sky was suddenly released, Chu Xiao held the sword in his hand, and said coldly: "It doesn't matter who you are, just take your life!"

After that, an afterimage, the sword light of the Conscience Sword was like an illusion, and in an instant, countless flashing sword shadows had already appeared, stabbing towards Nalan Mingxuan without hesitation.

Nalan Mingxuan was shocked, he wanted to escape and was already more powerful than ascending to the sky, he was only a mere condensation of Qi Great Perfection cultivation, that Chu Xiao was at the peak of the Yuan Infant!

At this moment, a loud voice shouted: "Senior Brother Chu Xiao, aren't you crazy? How can you not know why, you are going to kill Nalan Mingxuan, today Lu Yun is brave, but he wants to stop you!"

After that, the fairy sword came out of its sheath, flew past Nalan Mingxuan, and the fairy sword swung and rushed towards the menacing Chu Xiao without hesitation.

"You...... No!" Chu Xiao said these three words slowly.

As soon as the words fell, the Questioning Sword and the Sword in Lu Yun's hand had already collided together. Lu Yun only felt a mountain of vigorous force rushing towards him, and secretly said in his heart: It's amazing!

The fairy sword in his hand didn't listen to the command, and with a sad roar, a streamer of light was still flying into the air by Chu Xiao's unstoppable sword.

Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, Chu Xiao's figure flickered, and he had already crossed Lu Yun, with an indomitable domineering momentum, the Conscience Sword Bai Guang was sheng, and he went straight to Nalan Mingxuan without a trace of hindrance.

Nalan Mingxuan's heart sank, knowing that he couldn't hide this time.

Chu Xiao's god-killing momentum was determined to take his own life.

Just, why?

Nalan Mingxuan's eyes looked at the cold sword shadow flickering in the sky, and he only shouted loudly: "Chu Xiao, I don't understand, why?"

Chu Xiao's eyes were resolute, and he asked about the thunderous power of the heart sword, and roared coldly: "Why?

After that, without hesitation, the Asking Heart Sword was like a demon god chasing his life, flashing with a shocking cold light, and was held high by Chu Xiao in mid-air.

The next moment, blood was splattered on the spot.

Nalan Mingxuan nodded suddenly and said, "I have no regrets about dying under your sword, come on......."

The world, as he slowly closed his eyes, began to slowly darken.

Only the white light of the heart is still flickering coldly, as if it is the only color between heaven and earth, under the moonlit night......
