(A new volume, a new beginning, a new book period, recommended votes, collections, reviews, etc. are very important, determine the fate and future of a book, I hope you will support it, thank you!)

Stepping on the morning sun, Yuan Bao walked alone on the wilderness path, behind him was the calm Shili Ping Lake, and the faint sadness was like the morning dew on the grass leaves at his ankles, making his heart feel a faint coldness.

Originally, Qingsong Daoren and others tried their best to keep the ingot, but the ingots promised Mr. Li Chaobai and Mr. Li to hand over the "Jinkui Medical Technique" in his arms to Wang Ruoshui, the daughter of Wang Pu, who studied medicine in Baihua Valley. What he owes to the Rejuvenation Hall can't be paid off in this life, so he can only do his best to do this one thing well. So he insisted on leaving and rushed to the Valley of Hundred Flowers.

The people of the Shushan faction didn't expect that the ingots that looked not amazing were actually Zhuge Kong Fang's true disciples, and what they didn't expect was that Zhuge Kong Fang had actually feathered into the deep mountains more than two months ago. This sudden change made everyone uneasy, and they all knew that the world would not be peaceful.

Yuan Bao's mind couldn't help but think of a dusk scene more than two months ago, the sunset was golden and brilliant, shining on the huge Nine Dragon Waterfalls in the valley, and the nine waterfalls that descended from the mountainside seemed to have really turned into golden water dragons.

Under the waterfall, a teenager knelt on the icy rock, silently weeping. In front of the young man sat a ragged withered old man, whose skin was already dark blue, almost no different from bluestone, and his muscles were even more condensed, only the old and deep eyes could still turn.

"Shaoqin, it's not good to be a teacher, your road is still very long, after you sit down for the teacher, go down the mountain, kill demons, and help the way of heaven ......"

The young man nodded heavily, looked at the withered old man and slowly closed his eyes, and sat down in white, at that time the golden sunset shone on the old man's face, golden, like the golden body of Buddhism, solemn and dazzling.

"Master!" the young man's tears were like a waterfall beside him, and he threw himself down in front of the withered old man, crying out in grief, until the morning of the third day, when the young man, who was weak, bowed respectfully to the withered old man, stood up, carried the old man to a cave, and then left the valley.

"Master......" Yuan Bao called softly, and the corners of his eyes were unconsciously moist.

In the distance, Shili Ping Lake, under the guidance of the empty phase, the Qingsong Dao people went down to the underground magma to check, and only a beautiful woman in lilac clothes was left on the island in the middle of the lake, Li Shishi.

Master Li stood on the edge of the island in the middle of the lake, staring at the northeast, which was the direction that Yuan Bao had left before, and the calm lake surface had a faint ripple in the morning breeze, just like her heart at the moment.

She didn't know why there was a strange feeling in her heart at this moment, which made her lost, made her hesitate, and overwhelmed her.

The wind blew her clothes and ruffled her hair, and under the morning glow, this beautiful and cold woman seemed to become even colder than ever at this moment.

What is the reason?

For whom?

Her long hair suddenly flew like an electric snake, and her eyes flashed with essence, as if she was crazy, and she pulled out the divine sword Qing Ming vigorously.

The blue sword light flickered and swayed, and suddenly the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and a strong wind blew, and the always calm lake surface set off waves several feet high, with the island in the center of the lake as the center, and quickly spread out in all directions, and in front of her, a cyan rock of several zhang size was violently bubbling with fire, and after a while, four lines of words appeared on the bluestone, the font was graceful and warm, and the person stone was divided into three points.

Master Li breathed deeply, and the cool and gloomy morning air made her heart seem to wake up from the inexplicable madness just now, and she withdrew her divine sword, her eyes falling on the four lines.

Ten miles of flat lake frost sky, inch by inch of green silk sorrowful year.

Look at each other for the moon-shaped, only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal.

It seems that all kinds of reluctance, all kinds of helplessness, and all kinds of feelings in my heart are deeply engraved on these four lines.

Deeply, deeply.

A moment later, a dozen or so people flew out of the secluded cave in the center of the island, and the handsome young man in purple clothes saw Master Li standing alone on the edge of the island in the middle of the lake, staring at a large stone in a daze, he walked over, and the next moment he saw the lines of words on the stone, the handwriting was very new, obviously just engraved.

After he finished reading it, his face stiffened slightly, and he looked at Master Li's lonely and cold back, with a trace of anger flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath, calmed the nameless fire in his heart, and shouted, "Senior Sister Li, it's time for us to go." ”

At noon, Yuanbao is already twenty miles away from Pinghu, and comes to a small forest in front of it, where there is no shop in front of the village, and the nearest town is Xiaoqi Town, which is more than 20 miles in the south. After last night's battle, the ingots meridian was injured, and after just walking for half a day, he missed the little donkey he lost in Tianshui City.

At this moment, the scorching summer said, the sun poisoned the earth, he panted and walked to a big tree and sat down, leaned against the trunk, took off the wine gourd from his waist, took a few big sips, and said to himself with a wry smile: "Hey, there is no heavenly reason, there is no heavenly reason, the empty phase guy still said that he was mixed with me, but when the Qingsong Dao people came, they actually said that they would go with the people of the Shushan faction." ”

In fact, he also mistakenly blamed the emptiness, the little monk had the intention to go through the rivers and lakes with him and act chivalrous. But Qingsong Dao is a respected predecessor of the Shushan faction, and at this moment he came down to thoroughly investigate the Songhe Temple and the Seven Star Gate, and he was the leader. The void phase was also ordered to go down the mountain for this matter, and now he has not found out why, so it is naturally inconvenient to leave.

Besides, this time more than 300 disciples of the Shushan faction went down the mountain, most of them were still waiting at the Songhe Temple near Tianshui City, and there was also a righteous sect Luohan Temple around the Phoenix Mountain.

Yuan Bao secretly cursed a few empty phases in his heart, and then fell asleep unconsciously, since Tianshui City Rejuvenation Hall came out, he really didn't sleep well, this sleep was really dark, and he slept for four or five hours.

In his sleep, he suddenly heard a few dog barking, Yuan Bao stretched his waist and opened his eyes, and found that the surroundings were dim, and the stars were twinkling for nine days.

He took a few more sips of wine and said to himself, "I've slept really long this night, it's almost time, let's find something to eat." ”

He had barely taken a few steps when a few more barks were heard in the distant darkness, and they barked rather quickly.

"Well, is there a hunter hunting nearby? Maybe it's a wild dog, haha, you can eat fragrant meat tonight!"

The hungry and panicked ingots walked quickly towards the barking of the dog, and before they had gone far, they saw a faint flame shining in the depths of the darkness, which was actually a bonfire.

He was very disappointed in his heart, since there was a fire, the dog was not a wild dog.

He walked closer, and there was an old man sitting in front of the campfire, holding a shabby erhu in his arms, and a large old yellow dog lying next to him.

It was the old man and the old dog with the erhu that I met in the Xiaoqi Town Inn last night.

The big yellow dog, which was half a man tall, suddenly got up when he heard the footsteps, his green eyes stared at the uninvited guest in front of him, and he let out a gurgling bark again, which was very arrogant.

Yuan Bao was not afraid of an old dog, so he walked over and said with a smile: "It's lonely and cold late at night, and the old man comes to the bar." ”

Yuan Bao was about to take the wine gourd around his waist, when the old dog flew up, revealing its hideous fangs.

Under the moonlight, Yuan Bao looked at the fangs that emitted a faint blue light in the hideous, his face changed slightly, his body quickly back, and at the same time kicked the big yellow dog to the side, the big yellow dog didn't know how many years he had lived, he looked like a calf, rolled on the ground a few times and got up again, and pounced frantically again.

Yuan Bao hurriedly explained: "Don't bite me, I'm also a dog, can I give face......

Of course, the big yellow dog will not give him face, green teeth and fangs, sharp claws like knives, and four legs together, this pounce is actually a foot high, quite terrifying.

Seeing this, Yuan Bao spread his feet and ran, using his body to shuttle in the jungle, but he didn't expect his body to be unpredictable, and even the big yellow dog couldn't do anything about him.

For a long time, the big yellow dog felt that he really couldn't catch the young man, so he stretched out his old tongue and ran to the old man again and lay down down out of breath.

Yuan Bao saw that the big yellow dog was no longer chasing, and said with a smile: "You big stupid dog, even if you cultivate for another three hundred years, you can't catch up with me." If you don't accept it, come and chase me, come and chase me!"

"Ahem, you are really his heir, Xuantian eight steps, a good Xuantian eight steps. The old man finally raised his head, and his voice was hoarse, making people feel that the release came from the abyss underground.

Yuan Bao was startled, and his face changed slightly.

This Xuantian Eight Steps is to cooperate with the three swords of Zhuxian and the nine swords of reincarnation, which is incomparable, and the only body that can be compared with it today is the Nine Palace Steps of the Five Elements Gate and the close Tianya body method of the Shushan School. I didn't expect that the withered old man in front of him could see the eight steps of Xuantian that he had performed, which was really amazing.

His face calmed down, he took a few steps forward, hugged his fists and said, "Junior Yuanbao, may I ask the senior surname?"

The old man did not speak, but picked up the erhu in his arms and tried the sound, the dull and vicissitudes of the tune from the dim grove.

Yuanbao's eyes narrowed, and he saw that the bonfire in front of the old man seemed to have been poured with a bowl of fire oil, and the steaming flames suddenly doubled in height, illuminating the surrounding area for more than ten zhang as bright as day.

"Such a profound cultivation, I looked away last night, this old man is actually a top master who has never been born in the world!"

Yuan Bao suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure pressing from the old man's body, and his body involuntarily slid backwards five or six feet, and his heart was shocked. The one who could shake him back from the Imperial Sky Realm with his momentum alone, the Taoism of the old man in front of him was absolutely unfathomable.

"A song of liver and intestines is broken, where to find a soulmate at the end of the world!" the withered old man sighed, his voice hoarse and vicissitudes, it seemed that in this sentence, his life history of a hundred years was included.

Then the erhu sound in the woods sounded again, and Yuan Bao was quite familiar with this tune, and thought about it slightly, it turned out to be the song "Haoran Righteousness" that he was best at.

"Light Qiu long sword, fierce horse singing, loyal liver and righteous courage to the mountains and rivers. is a good guest who comes and goes, and dares to sit on an equal footing with the emperor. Tenderness and iron bones, a thousand daughters and a promise, before and after his death, there were smoke waves behind him, a good rich man like a cloud, and the sword light flashed like a cry like a song. A chamber of blood can't shed the true character of a hero. With two feet, he broke through the long river of desert. Three sighs, sighs, sighs, just for the homeland and homeland. People from all over the world are reciting a long song......"

The old man's singing voice is hoarse and low, with the tactful erhu sound, singing a heroic chivalrous song that has been sung since ancient times like a ghost crying in the middle of the night, which makes people cry. At this moment, Yuan Bao actually heard a sense of killing hidden in the depths of his heart from the old man's hoarse singing, as if thousands of troops and horses were fighting and colliding in the endless wilderness, the corpses were piled up, and the blood stained the sky red.

"What is the origin of this mysterious old man?" Yuan Bao stood in the distance, his brow furrowed, his mind quickly searching for possible characters. In just half a pillar of incense, he filtered all the seniors in the world who might be similar to this old man, and felt that there were three people who were the most likely.

One is Mo Taisong, the head of the Hengshan faction. This person is proficient in music and rhythm, especially good at erhu, and his cultivation should be at least in the realm of small perfection, which is most similar to the mysterious old man in front of him who has obviously reached the realm of great perfection.

The second is that the South China Sea does not need to disperse people, and it is also good at erhu, but there is no need to disperse people in their early seventies this year, and those who cultivate the truth are exquisite in cultivation and prolong their lives, and it is impossible for a seventy-year-old person to grow old like this.

The third is the old man of Tianchi in Changbai Mountain, this person is also good and evil, debuted 80 years ago, at the Kunlun Mountain Fighting Conference, he once competed with the young Zhuge Kong Fang, and finally lost a move. Sixty years ago, he shot and killed thirty-six disciples of the Five Elements Sect, and was chased by the Five Elements Sect, and later Zhuge Kong Fang found him in Changbai Mountain, and defeated him again. And Zhuge Kong Fang gave him back an erhu made of Kunlun Shenmu and Tianma Tail.

The old man closed his head, looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky, and said lightly: "You finally appeared." ”

Yuan Bao was stunned for a moment and said, "Are the seniors waiting for me?"

The old man didn't answer, at this moment, a rude laughter came from the branch of a big tree dozens of zhang away in the distance, Yuan Bao turned his head to look, but saw a black shadow flashing, and a man wearing a wide black robe and a veil appeared two feet in front of the old man. The figure in the darkness was like a ghost, and Yuan Bao didn't even see how he got there.

"Tianchi Daoyou, I haven't seen you for a hundred years, I didn't expect you to be like this, but your ear power has not weakened, should I congratulate you, or do I think you are pathetic?" The man's voice was obviously lowered, yin and yang, and Yuan Bao couldn't tell whether that person was a man or a woman for a while.

And at this moment, he also knew that the withered old man sitting cross-legged in front of the bonfire in front of him was indeed his master's old friend, the old man of Tianchi.
