Chapter I, Section 3

The cold night is bone-chilling, and the fire is even worse

Yunlong Village, Mo Yunlong House.

"What?!You said Tian'er went to Qifeng City?!" Mo Yunlong and Chen Si sat face to face again as they had done that day, and at this time, Mo Yunlong heard the news that Shen Tian had gone to Qifeng City, and a worried look appeared on his face.

"Hey, Yunlong, now that this child is older, he will always come, I know that you have hidden something from Tian'er's life experience, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you, but if it's really as I guessed, Tian'er's life experience is related to immortals, you don't want to get involved." Chen Si has no children in his life, and he has an inexplicable family affection for Mo Yunlong. In his life, his parents died early, only one uncle brought him up, and now he is old, the only uncle has long turned into loess, and now he is still bound by this old man, only Mo Yunlong and Shen Tian, in his opinion, Shen Tian must have something to do with the legendary immortals who practice immortal law, Shen Tian's departure is already expected, he is powerless to stop it, but if he hears that kind of people are moody, he regards mortal life as a mustard, he is afraid that the immortals will anger Mo Yunlong and kill him. He strongly advised, but he didn't want to see the two people closest to him leave him one after another.

"Uncle Si, this is not the most important thing, I am still worried about Tian'er's safety, so let's do it, you are here to preside over the overall situation, and I will go to Qifeng City by myself. After speaking, without waiting for the old man's reaction, he strode out of the house.

Only the old man in the room sighed, full of tiredness.

On the outskirts of Qifeng, somewhere.

Shen Tianzheng was lying flat under a tree, the sky was gradually darkening, but within a radius of one mile, it was reflected red by a stream of red light, and the projection of the single tree under the red light was slightly hideous.

Circles of red light swept away from the white-clothed woman sitting cross-legged not far from Shen Tian, her eyes were complicated to look at the little thief who was still in a coma in front of her, this was her first impression of him, in her eyes, there was not much difference between the green forest hero and the bandit, maybe she did not enter the world too deeply, since she was brought to the Xuanhuo Sect by her master at the age of six, she began to live a life of cultivation, from childhood to adulthood, except for the senior brother Li Ziwei who cultivated with her and discussed the Tao together, she did not have much contact with other senior brothers-- Because of her personality, she is introverted by nature, not good at expressing her words and feelings, and has had a crush on her senior brother Li Ziwei for 20 years, but she has never dared to say it.

Thinking of Li Ziwei, a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly-sadness, thinking of the death of her senior brother. Smile, but it is the bit by bit of getting along with the senior brother, even if the senior brother is dead, but it is still vivid.

When the woman in white was thinking a lot, Shen Tian gradually woke up, he touched his head that was a little painful, his eyes were still blurry and couldn't see clearly, but the first sentence was full of ruffians: "Tsk, his grandmother's, which way of a good man dares to sneak attack Uncle Ben, do you know that Uncle Ben is the master of Yunlongzhai Shaozhai?!"

The woman in white frowned, she secretly followed this little thief, cast a spell to cover up her traces, mortals could not detect it, and observed all the way, she actually let her see the scene of Shen Tian going to the black market to pawn the red token, she saw the red token, and immediately determined that the senior brother must have an intersection with this little thief - that token was the fate search order given by her senior brother Li Ziwei who was sent down the mountain this time!

Shen Tian slowly got up, his brain had not yet regained his consciousness, and he looked around, the night sky was full of stars, and the shadows of the trees around him were swaying-wait!

Shen Tian's chaotic brain suddenly became agitated, and he looked to the side, and saw that it was the woman in white he met this morning, and he was angry: "Hey, you demon girl, you are so bold, it doesn't matter if you set fire to my clothes this morning, and now you will take me to this place, don't think that you know how to witchcraft and I will be afraid of you, na, it's a master, let's not use witchcraft, let's have a life-and-death duel between men!"

The woman in white was also stunned, she didn't expect the little thief in front of her to be this reaction, ordinary people will not have this kind of reaction in this situation, just imagine, in this dark night, seeing a woman sitting next to her with a red body emitting red light, it should be quite a weird scene, even if ordinary people have a good heart, they should be shocked, but this little thief is scolding, and he is talking wildly, thinking of this, his heart is very interested in this son, this can only be because she has seen too little, these green forest heroes who are happy to enmity and revenge every day, how can they be comparable to those thieves who deceive the good and fear the evil。

"Do you know this man?" Although she was interested in this little thief in her heart, she didn't show it on her face, she was still calm, she didn't pay attention to Shen Tian's presumptuousness, but tapped her finger on her eyebrows, and a flame turned into a middle-aged man in white, standing with his hands in his hands, looking at Shen Tian with arrogance in his eyes.

"This, what kind of demon method is this, you are really a demon girl, you have to suck my child's essence to practice demon arts, hey, it's a pity that the splendid future, today it was actually lost in the hands of this nameless demon girl, I am unwilling!" Shen Tian saw this scene, and his heart suddenly felt cold, and he beat his chest, as if a real woman would kill herself. All this is just because when the woman in white burned her clothes at that time, he just felt that this woman knew some small spells, but now seeing her so lightly control the flame and conjure up this realistic man, he was sure in his heart that this demon girl must have a certain Taoism, and she came to him three times and twice, she must have taken a fancy to herself as a child, and he heard Chen Si mention some interesting things, including the fact that someone practiced demon law and improved his cultivation with the body of a boy and a girl.

The woman in white frowned when she heard this, looking at Shen Tian's depressed appearance and being speechless, she didn't know how to answer at this time, after all, she was not deeply involved in the world.

Shen Tian saw the woman looking at him silently, beating a drum in his heart, he couldn't figure out what this demon girl was thinking, but he was not born to be a person who sat still, and ten years of life in the green forest made him even more unruly, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he secretly said in his heart: Since you have such bad intentions against me, don't blame Young Master Ben for being ruthless, even if you are a demon girl, at such a close distance, Young Master Ben is sure to take you down with one blow!

When he said that it was too late, this thought was born in his heart, Shen Tian immediately leaned over and grabbed the ground with his head, crying even more than just now, but his hand was slowly placed on his cotton boot - this was the place where he hid the knife!

Just when the woman's brows were getting tighter and tighter, Shen Tian pressed his left hand on the ground, kicked his legs, and rushed towards the woman, and pulled out a dagger from the cotton boot with his right hand, and under the reflection of the red light, the dagger reflected a strange light, and his whole body gathered in one place, stabbing the woman's head directly! Shen Tian has been accustomed to fighting since he was a child, and he subconsciously left no room for the enemy.

Seeing Shen Tian's actions, the woman actually showed a trace of appreciation in her eyes, but she didn't move a little in place, seeing that Shen Tian's dagger was about to pierce her head, the woman's fingers lightly touched the ground, and with a strong force, Shen Tian was overturned to the ground, and then Shen Tian's body was lifted into the air, and there were faint red silk threads on his limbs.

"Hmph, since Shen's skills are not as good as others, then, if you want to kill or chop, just listen to it, but if you kill me, Yunlongzhai will avenge me!" Shen Tian is now a dead pig and is not afraid of boiling water, since he can't shake others under his sneak attack, he simply leaves behind his rhetoric, at least he won't be so embarrassed when he dies.

When the woman heard this, she smiled slightly, and the jade finger pointed to the phantom of the man conjured by the flames again, and said: "I didn't say that I wanted to kill you and kill you, I just asked you if you have seen this man, you just need to answer the question." ”

Shen Tian sneered in his heart when he heard that this demon girl actually said that he would not kill herself, thinking that the other party was playing tricks on her, but he had already been caught anyway and let him out, he looked at the illusory man, and couldn't help but scold him in his heart, and said: "I haven't seen it, this person is not young, and he is not a three-year-old child, he won't go home by himself if he gets lost?" What are you looking for everywhere, touching my master's moldy head, the things that I planned for today were all disrupted by you!" The more Shen Tian thought about it, the more angry he became, the black market boss bullied himself and said that the treasure token was worthless enough to make him feel aggrieved, and now because of this person he never knew, he was burned and caught here for questioning, if the anger in his heart can be materialized, then it is estimated that this Qifeng City will be burned down under the sea of fire.

The woman was displeased when she heard this, thinking that this little thief had deceived herself, and with a thought, the token flew out of Shen Tian's arms, pointed to the token and said to Shen Tian: "You said you don't know this person, then let me ask you, where did you get this token?"

Shen Tian looked at the woman, his eyes showed disdain, and he said with a grin: "Hmph, what kind of master am I to you, it turned out that I found out that I have a treasure to snatch, and it doesn't hurt to tell you the truth, this token was snatched from someone else!"

When the woman heard this, she really didn't believe it in her heart, this token is the thing of a person who cultivates the truth, unless it is a fellow person, mortals cannot get it, not to mention the effect of this token, etc., is it?! Thinking of this, there was a look of surprise on her face, she looked at Shen Tian, and said, "You pick up this token and show it to me!" Then Shen Tian fell to the ground, and there was a cry of pain, and the red filaments on his limbs also disappeared, but the token floated in front of him, illuminated by the red light, exuding a trace of pleasure.

Shen Tian touched his aching buttocks, cursed a few words in his mouth, and then grabbed the token in his hand with one hand, and looked at the woman in white proudly.

At this time, the woman's face was full of surprise, sometimes staring at Shen Tian, sometimes staring at the token in Shen Tian's hand, and muttering from time to time: "Senior brother, is this your last wish?"

Shen Tian looked at this woman's strange expression, and was happy in his heart, hehe, this demon girl must be like Song Jie's fool who can't hold this token, and he must be shocked to see the master in his hand, and now while he is in a trance, the master hurriedly smeared oil on the soles of his feet!

With a thought in his mind, Shen Tian turned around and ran, but just when he turned around and was about to run, a yin wind came to him, at this time he felt that his life was like a flat boat swaying in the storm, and it could be taken away by this yin wind at any time, and a strange laugh sounded a mile in front of Shen Tian, piercing the night sky, and a person surrounded by black qi suddenly appeared there, with a skull floating next to him, and rushed towards Shen Tian without saying a word.

Shen Tian was shocked, his whole body seemed to be imprisoned and unable to move, although his heart was firm and mature, but after all, he was only a sixteen-year-old child, not to mention the skull floating in the air with phosphorescent eyes, but the strange smile of the middle-aged man surrounded by black qi had already made him drench in a cold sweat - this laughter pierced into the depths of his soul and made him shudder!

"Presumptuous!" The woman in white was first shocked when she felt the existence of that person, this person's cultivation was definitely higher than her own, because she couldn't discover his existence, and of course it was not ruled out that he had any secret protection or hidden trace exercises, but after thinking about the magic weapon that the elder gave him, she breathed a sigh of relief.

After drinking, the woman's momentum suddenly skyrocketed, the red light on her body was sheng, the red light around her was no longer gentle, and there was a faint crackling sound of burning flames in the air. As soon as the woman touched the sachet on her waist, a fiery red maple leaf suddenly appeared on her right hand, and with a flick of the fingers of her left hand, the maple leaf instantly became larger and flew towards the black shadow.

"Haha, Xuanhuo Ye, your little sect-breaking sect's exercises can't enter my eyes!" The man in black laughed when he saw the maple leaf, slapped his forehead with his hand, and flew out of a misty skull, and shouted softly: Go! The two skulls screamed and rushed towards the maple leaf.

The woman pinched it, the maple leaf stood in front of Shen Tian and spun out of thin air, the woman's jade hand grabbed it, the feeling of imprisonment was removed from Shen Tian's body, and the woman grabbed her side, and slapped Shen Tian on the shoulder, and a flame surrounded him.

The skull screamed and rushed towards the maple leaf, and the two sides collided together, but they were on par, and they were deadlocked with each other.

"You can cultivate so far at a young age, it's not bad, it's not easy, I don't think it's easy for you to practice, give you a chance, you leave this kid, I'll let you go." The black shadow looked at the maple leaf, and there was a hint of solemnity on his face.

The woman looked at the man surrounded by black qi and took a deep breath, she knew that this person's cultivation was higher than her, but this was not what he cared about the most, what she cared about was that she actually sensed the breath of her senior brother!

"My senior brother Li Ziwei was killed by you!" Although the woman in white is not deeply involved in the world, she is very smart, and she can see that this person is a person in the Demon Dao, and she has the breath of a senior brother on her body, and she has already guessed most of the things, so she asked just to confirm what she thought in her heart.

"Hey, little girl, you're smart, but you sensed your brother's storage bracelet? What is it called? The name he gave his bracelet seems to be, oh, yes, Yun Wei bracelet, I said, right?" said the black shadow casually, his eyes fixed on the woman in white.

"Yun Wei, Yun Wei, senior brother, you still let me know your mind. Hearing this, the woman's expression at this time changed to a thick tenderness, muttering to herself, and then her expression changed suddenly, she looked at the black shadow fiercely, and said: "Senior brother's revenge, it will be avenged today!" Just a short sentence, the woman touched the sachet, and a palm-sized stone appeared in his hand, at this time the woman's expression was solemn, five fingers were pointed together, and five flames flew into the stone, and after the stone devoured the flames, it emitted a red light in the sky, and even the black gas around the black shadow seemed to be dispersed by the red light.

It seems that the elders of your Xuanhuo Sect really love you, and they actually gave you all this magic weapon, okay, today I will come to understand your Flint Fragments!" After the black shadow finished speaking, he sent out a sense of war, pinched more than a dozen with both hands, and then slapped his forehead ten times in a row, and suddenly, the mist was swirling, and fourteen mist-like skulls flew out of the black shadow, and the two skulls that were circling with the maple leaf also flew back, and the ten skulls got together, surrounded by the man, the man's eyes showed a trace of fatigue, and then threw out sixteen branches, integrated into the sixteen skulls, the skull was fused with the branch, the hollow eye hole was no longer phosphorescent light, but seemed to come from the netherworld, the man did all this, the fatigue in his eyes was even stronger, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "Today, just look at me, a sixteen phosphorus ghost, break your flint fragment!" After speaking, he pressed his forehead with one hand and pointed at the woman in white with the other.

The woman in white was not shocked, at this moment she was sitting cross-legged, her eyes were closed, and the flint fragments were floating in front of her, and she kept pinching the seal in her hand to hit the stone in front of her, and she seemed to be muttering something in her mouth, after the last seal was played, the flint fragments suddenly became larger, and on the smooth stone wall, five bright red flame flowers appeared, which was the five flames that were shot out of the previous woman's five fingers, and the flame flowers each shot out a red ray, gathered together, forming a larger red ray, and the woman said in her mouth, go! The red rays shot towards the black shadows, and the surrounding plants and trees, with the awakening of the red rays, all turned to ashes.

Sixteen skulls did not make any movement after approaching this red mang, they were burned by the red mang, the skull could not stop the advance of the red mang, the cold light flashed in the black shadow's eyes, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he turned around and flew away, but the speed of the red mang was faster than that, the black shadow saw that he was not in a hurry to dodge, stopped in the air, slapped his forehead with both hands, spit out a mouthful of black blood in his mouth, and shouted: "Dead air leaves the body, prevent the enemy from invading the master!" The black mist that surrounded the black shadow separated from his body and crashed into the red mang, and the black gas that surrounded him became extremely faint, and when the dead air collided with the red mang, it exploded, and the person was far away. At this moment, from the necklace that Shen Tian had worn since he was a child, a figure flew out -- it was the dead Li Ziwei! He waved out of thin air, and after a while, a silver bracelet flew to his hand from afar, and he looked at the bracelet thoughtfully.

The woman in white did not look at the direction of the person's escape, but stared at Li Ziwei's figure tightly, she could feel that this was not a real person, but Li Ziwei's last wisp of consciousness.

She looked at him.

He looked at it—but as if he were looking at him and her.

For a long time, neither of them spoke, Li Ziwei was the first to react, looking at the woman, with tenderness in his eyes, the woman was just about to speak, the man's eyes changed, and he looked at Shen Tian.

Shen Tian's mood at this time can only be described in two words, that is, shock! The battle just now made him feel uneasy, this was not a battle that belonged to him, he thought to himself that he was in Yunlong Village, except for his godfather Mo Yunlong, the rest of the people were fighting alone, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, but when he saw the battle between the two sides just now, he knew what the gap was -- these two people in the fighting method only needed one finger to kill him! At this time, seeing the man looking at him, Shen Tian couldn't help but panic in his heart:" Hey, Great Immortal, I am an ordinary man, I promise to keep today's matter secret for you, and I will never tell anyone else for the rest of my life, I Shen Tian swear..."The words stopped abruptly, and the woman pointed down, and the flames surrounding Shen Tian disappeared, and then Shen Tian fainted. This is the second time that Shen Tian has fallen into a coma today, but this time, there is no anger in his heart, but a faint expectation.

"Senior sister, I can't accompany you to practice anymore. The man looked at the woman for a long time, he is also a person who is not good at words, he usually only knows cultivation, and he has experienced the most things between him and his junior sister, and he also discusses in the sect cultivation on weekdays, but he himself knows that he has already fallen in love with this beautiful junior sister.

After hearing this, the woman's heart darkened - every woman hopes to have a beautiful love, but the man she loves deeply said this, but immediately she was relieved, what more could she ask for? After thinking it out, she immediately changed her face and smiled, and said: "It's okay, senior brother, senior sister is rare to meet senior brother in this life, and she is already satisfied, even if senior brother can no longer accompany senior sister to continue cultivation, junior sister will imprint the figure of senior brother in her heart, forever, forever." That smile, there is an inexplicable sadness, I can't tell whether it is joy or sadness, there are faint waves of water flowing in my eyes, perhaps, this is a forced smile.

Seeing this, the man sighed, "My time has come, if there is an afterlife, I would like to be a mortal couple with you, and no longer set foot in this path of cultivation, as for him, hey, take him into the mountain gate, don't force him, everything is left to his will." As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Tian, looked at the rising sun exposed in the sky, and showed a smile of relief, and his figure slowly faded, dissipating in the wind with the first rays of sunshine of the new day. Only Yun Wei Bracelet was left lying quietly on the ground, emitting a silver light.

The woman had been staring at the place where the man had disappeared in a daze, and seemed to be muttering those words in her mouth—the afterlife, the mortal couple, the cultivation of the truth...
