When the man came to him, Dongfang Bai saw his face clearly.

This is a man who looks about twenty or thirty years old, but his eyes are full of vicissitudes. Sword eyebrows, starry eyes, a grim expression, a cold expression that no one can approach, this reminded Dongfang Bai of Yang Lianting, he used to have this expression often.

Dongfang Bai asked blankly, "Are you?"

The cold man turned around, turned his back to Dongfang Bai and said, "You don't care who I am!"

Dongfang Bai said: "Thank you for saving me." ”

The cold man didn't look back, and said, "I don't want to save you, it's just that I hate that someone disturbs me while I'm practicing." ”

"Practice, is that the martial arts that Brother Lian said?" Dongfang Bai thought to himself, and at the same time thanked again: "Thank you again, if it weren't for your needle in time, I would have died." After speaking, Dongfang Bai turned around and wanted to go back to pick up his sister.

At this moment, the cold man was stunned, and he turned around and asked, "How can you see my needle?"

"Of course I can see it!" Dongfang Bai nodded, thinking, "I'm not blind, isn't it strange to see it?"

Hearing this, the cold man rushed to Dongfang Bai's side, grabbed Dongfang Bai's arm, probed her bones, and then said: "It's indeed a good material for martial arts, but it's a pity, it's a woman." ”

Dongfang Bai was puzzled: "What if it's a woman?"

"If you are a woman, you can't accompany me to the Black Wood Cliff, and you can't inherit my mantle. The cold man said.

Dongfang Bai Xiu frowned, thinking, I don't know if there are any thieves in the village? If there is, she can't save her sister when she goes back, this man is strong in martial arts, if he is willing to help himself, he doesn't have to be afraid of thieves, and if he knows martial arts, he can better protect his sister in the future.

So Dongfang Bai stepped forward and said, "I can also be a man!"

Hearing this, the cold man turned around and said, "This is not a matter of a moment, but a lifetime." ”

"In order to become a strong person and no longer be bullied in the future, I am willing to be a man for the rest of my life!" Dongfang Bai said firmly, her parents abandoned their two sisters, and now only by becoming stronger can she protect her sister.

The cold man was stunned for a moment, and then grabbed Dongfang Bai's arm and said, "Okay, then I'll take you as an apprentice." ”

Seeing that he agreed, Dongfang Bai was immediately overjoyed, and told him about the thieves who had sacked the village and his sister, and ran back to the village with him.

On the way, the cold man told Dongfang Bai his name, and his name was Dugu to seek defeat!

When Dongfang Bai returned to her place, she found that her sister was gone.

"Little Sister, Little Sister..."

Dongfang Bai looked around for his sister.

"Yuanzi!!"

At this time, Dongfang Bai found Yang Yuanzi, but the friend she had known for five years was dead, and she couldn't help but feel sad and shed tears.

And no matter how she searched, she couldn't find her sister, Dongfang Bai could only squat next to the barrel in a daze, as if her sister would return to the barrel at any time.

Dugu came to Dongfang Bai and said, "Don't look for it anymore, you can't find it." In this world, only the strong can survive, and the weak can only add trouble to the strong. I hope that from today onwards, you will forget about her. You have to remember that you are the strongest!"

Hearing this, Dongfang Bai was stunned! Remembering Yang Lianting's words.

"Xiaobai, Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement. Ten out of ten things that are unsatisfactory in life**. All we can do is to try to make ourselves stronger, only by constantly being strong, when we encounter unsatisfactory problems, we have the ability to change, in order to avoid one tragedy after another, in order to do more things we want to do. ”

Dongfang Bai stood up, wiped away the tears on his cheeks, and said with a firm expression: "Yes! I am a strong man!"

"Brother Lian, I understand why you are so eager to become stronger! Blame me, blame me for not being strong enough to protect my sister! From now on, I will also become stronger, keep getting stronger, and become stronger than everyone else!"

Dongfang Bai wanted to help Yang Yuanzi bury him in the ground, but she was a woman who couldn't even drag his body.

Seeing this, Dugu frowned, then stepped forward to lift Yang Yuanzi's corpse up, and said to Dongfang Bai: "Go!"

By the time it was time to say Bo Xishan, there were three more people in the small village.

Ning Zhong looked at Yang Lianting worriedly and said, "Le'er..."

However, it was Yang Lianting, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, and they met many fleeing civilians on the way, and only after asking did they know that a large group of bandits had ransacked several nearby towns and villages.

But when he heard the news, Yang Lianting's heart trembled, and he rushed here like crazy, and Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong were worried about him, and they also followed closely behind.

Yang Lianting looked at the dead corpses all over the ground, his face was gloomy, when he came to the door of those familiar houses, he saw five dead corpses lying on the ground at a glance, and when he stepped forward to identify them, he found that it was not Yang Yuanzi and them, and he was immediately relieved.

Yang Lianting shouted: "Yuanzi, Xiaoqi, Wang Xi, I am the leader! I'm back!"

But he searched all over the house and didn't find the five of them, and then rushed to Dongfang Bai's house, and also found no one, but he didn't see the corpse to make him feel a little relieved.

He carefully identified the corpses in the village one by one, and did not find Yang Yuanzi, Dongfang Bai and others among them, and thought: "Maybe they all escaped safely." ”

But when he found the outside of the village, he saw a small grave with the tombstone reading: Tomb of Yang Yuanzi!

"No!" Yang Lianting didn't want to believe it, he rushed forward and threw the grave soil away, he wanted to dig up the body to confirm.

Ning Zhong wanted to step forward to persuade Yang Lianting, but was pulled by Yue Buqun, and said puzzledly: "Senior brother?"

"Let him be!" Yue Buqun shook his head and said, he had never seen Yang Lianting so emotional.

Although they hadn't seen each other for two years, Yang Yuanzi's appearance hadn't changed much, and after the body in the grave was dug up, Yang Lianting recognized him.

Examining the wounds and bloodstains on his body, Yang Lianting knew that he had not been dead for a long time, and it would definitely not take more than a few hours.

"Yuanzi..." Yang Lianting hugged Yang Yuanzi's body and muttered, and then exclaimed in his heart: "What about the others?"

At this time, Yang Lianting picked up the tombstone made of the fast wooden board and looked at it, and immediately looked at the few small words written in blood below: Dongfang Baili!

Just now, Yang Lianting was shocked when he saw the 'Tomb of Yang Yuanzi', but he didn't pay attention to these small words.

"Xiaobai!" Yang Lianting muttered to herself. He couldn't understand why Dongfang Bai didn't run away with his family? How did he survive when the thieves were raging, it was Yang Yuanzi who saved Dongfang Bai? How could he bury Yang Yuanzi outside the village? It was Yang Yuanzi who saved Dongfang Bai's family? Which Yang Qizi and Zhen Xiaoqi were them? If they were, the tombstone could not have been erected by Dongfang Bai.

Yang Lianting reburied Yang Yuanzi, and then wrote the words 'Yang Lianting' next to 'Dongfang Bai' on the tombstone.

"Yuanzi, I'm sorry, I'm late! If I don't go to the thief for revenge, I can come early, and you won't die!" Yang Lianting blamed himself.

However, after Yang Lianting, Yue Buqun, and Ning Zhong passed by Taiyuan, they deliberately went to find the thief who almost hacked him to death at the beginning.

After two days of inquiry, Yang Lianting found the thief.

Two years ago, the thief stabbed Yang Lianting three times, leaving him injured and fleeing.

Two years later, Yang Lianting's body and swordsmanship were all outstanding, and in the end, he killed the thief unscathed.

Afterwards, I learned from Yue Buqun that this thief could also be regarded as a second-rate master. It's a pity that although the internal strength of the thief is stronger than Yang Lianting, Yang Lianting's body is as fast as a meteor, and his swordsmanship is as fast as lightning. The big thief can only be beaten passively and take the move in a hurry.

Ning Zhong stepped forward to comfort him: "Le'er, it's none of your business, don't blame yourself too much." ”

"You can't even save your friends, what's the use of being strong in martial arts?" Yang Lianting said expressionlessly, and even his eyes began to become cold.

Hearing this, Yue Buqun immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Le'er, it's none of your business, besides, you can avenge your friend." ”

Yang Lianting was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Revenge, revenge, who am I looking for revenge?"

"The thieves, of course. But Yue Buqun didn't want to see Yang Lianting blame everything on himself, so he was disheartened and gave up on himself.

Yang Lianting's violent aura flashed, and he said coldly: "Yes, thieves, they deserve to die!"

"Le'er..." Ning Zhong suddenly said worriedly when he saw Yang Lianting like this.

Yue Buqun continued: "Yes, these thieves have lost their conscience, and they are killing them for the sake of heaven, and don't you still have a few friends? Maybe they escaped?"

Yang Lianting bowed to Yang Yuanzi's grave and swore an oath: "Yuanzi, I will definitely find your brother and Xiaobai, and I will not let people bully them anymore, you can rest in peace!"

When the three of them entered the village again, they met someone from the Hengshan faction.

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, both husband and wife, stepped forward and saluted the woman in a yellow shirt and said, "Master Dingjing." ”

The woman in the yellow shirt is the senior sister of the head of the Hengshan faction, Dingyi Shitai, Dingjing Shitai. Dingjing is about 30 years old, but her appearance is kind and kind.

Dingyi said: "It turned out to be Master Yue and Ning Nuxia, how could the two of them be here?"

"The Wuyue Sword Sect is in the same spirit, and Yue heard that the Demon Sect has repeatedly violated Hengshan recently, so he specially came to help. Yue Buqun said, and then introduced Yang Lianting to Dingjing: "This is my second disciple Yang Le, he is from Daizhou, and he used to live in this village, this time he came with the two of me, but it's a pity..."

Looking at the dead corpses all over the ground, Ding Jing didn't want to know, and when he saw Yang Lianting's expression like an iceberg, he exclaimed: "Amitabha!"

"May I ask Master Dingjing, Daizhou is a military powerhouse, it has always been heavily guarded, and there is the Hengshan faction on the side, where did so many thieves come from? Did someone gather to rebel?" Yang Lianting took a step forward and asked.

Ding Jing saw that Yang Lianting's face was gloomy, his eyes were cold, and his body was faintly full of anger, and he immediately frowned. Then he thought that he must have relatives and friends who died tragically at the hands of thieves, so he sighed and said, "This matter may have something to do with the Demon Sect?"

"Demon Sect?" Yang Lianting muttered.

Ning Zhong asked, "Master Dingjing, was it the Demon Sect that ransacked the village?"

Ding Jing replied: "No. ”

When she said this, everyone was confused.

Then Ding Jing explained, and everyone was relieved.

It turned out that it was the Tatars who attacked Xuanfu in Gansu and started a war, and Daizhou's troops were transferred abroad. The Demon Sect also took the opportunity to invade the Hengshan Sect at this time, and when the thieves ransacked the villages and towns, Ding Jing and the others just went to pursue the Demon Sect elders who came to attack.

All this happened too coincidentally, there have always been few bandits in Daizhou, but now suddenly when the Hengshan Sect pursued the elders of the Demon Sect, so many thieves appeared to loot the nearby villages and towns, and all signs showed that it could not escape from the Demon Sect, although there was no real evidence, but for the Demon Sect, people in the righteous path never needed to talk about any evidence.

In the eyes of the so-called righteous people, all bad things are inseparable from the Demon Sect, and the people in the Demon Sect are all bad things, and if they do good things, there must be a conspiracy.

This is the Demon Cult in the eyes of the righteous people.

"Demon Sect!!" Yang Lianting said coldly.

ps: Spoiler first, this Dugu is not the Dugu of raising eagles, it is two different people, and some people have mentioned the view that there are two Dugu in the Golden Book before. Their relationship will be explained later.
