One month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Lou Xinzhou's spiritual power has gradually recovered, and he can start meditating.

So, she practiced swordplay during the day, meditated at night, and went to Luanqing for dinner with Wei Jiuyi who came to see her at noon. However, because she practiced meditation day and night, her energy was consumed quickly. Usually three bowls were not enough, and five bowls were not enough. just.

Lou Xinzhou didn't think it was anything, but there were always surprised looks coming from all directions every day, which made her a little embarrassed.

But fortunately, she gradually got used to those gazes, and she felt a lot happier because Xu had eaten more and had grown a lot taller recently.

A few days later, there was movement at the entrance of the cave where Shao Yunfan was retreating. Knowing that his release date was approaching, Lou Xinzhou went to the mountain pass to wait for him.

The place where Luan Qing retreats for his disciples is built on the top of a mountain, surrounded by dense fog. Every morning it shines brightly, and at sunset it fills the sky with sunset. There are not many trees, but they are evergreen all year round. The bluestone steps are paved all the way to the Above is the entrance to the retreat caves scattered around. Some white stone tables and chairs are simply placed in front of the cave for people waiting for or guarding the retreat. The scenery here is beautiful and there are many rocks. It is usually a place for couples to meet. But there is no need to worry about the people in seclusion in the cave, because there is a formation in front of the seclusion, which will automatically block out all disturbing movements.

Lou Xinzhou came early, the sun had just risen, and there was a touch of red on the horizon. The fog was thick, so it would not sting her eyes if she looked directly at it. She looked at the rising sun. She had only seen this scene once before, because she had only seen it once in her previous life. I went to retreat once in this place. When I came out, it happened to be a red sunrise, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

However, that day was not a good day.

······

At that time, she was only one step away from Nascent Soul, and she came out happily, but she didn't expect that there was no one waiting in front of the cave, and the whole mountain was eerily quiet. She walked down the stone steps and reached the mountainside before hearing the sound of people.

"I didn't expect Shao Yunfan to be that kind of person."

A female disciple from the inner sect was discussing in a low voice with her companions. The two of them stood on the roadside. Although they lowered their voices, if they wanted to listen, they could not miss a word.

That kind of person?

When Lou Xinzhou heard them talking about his senior brother, he naturally stopped.

However, the tone of the words spoken by the two female disciples did not sound like they were saying good things. Luan Qing had always been relatively harmonious, and Shao Yunfan had a particularly high reputation among the disciples, especially the female disciples. How could anyone say bad things about him behind his back?

The two inner sect female disciples were engrossed in the conversation, and Lou Xinzhou walked without making any noise, so the two of them did not notice anyone standing behind them and continued talking.

"There were hundreds of men, women, and children from all over the sect, but not a single one was left alive. It was so cruel."

"Yeah, I think it's no different from a demon cultivator."

"Hey, I used to admire him very much, but now I'm scared to think about it."

"But fortunately, the elders abolished his cultivation and drove him out. From now on, he will be just a mortal."

When Lou Xinzhou heard this, his golden eyes opened wide.

Martial Arts? No one left alive? After being deprived of his cultivation, he will become a mortal from now on?

The female disciple's words one after another were like huge rocks smashing into a frying pan, screaming crazily amidst the rolling fire.

An inexplicable feeling of fear came from the soles of her feet. Lou Xinzhou felt that her legs and feet were weak and she was a little unsteady. She could barely hold on to the tree beside her. She couldn't hide the surprise in her heart and murmured to herself.

"What happened?"

Hearing Lou Xinzhou's voice, the two inner disciples realized that there was someone standing behind them.

"Lou...Senior Sister Lou?!"

Naturally, they knew Lou Xinzhou and the relationship between Shao Yunfan and her. When they turned their heads and saw who it was, they were at a loss for a moment and hesitated to speak.

Lou Xinzhou didn't ask them. The two female disciples were pretty clear about it. She could roughly guess what happened, but she couldn't believe it. Would the Kunlun disciple, who was usually so famous, do such a thing as massacre the sect?

How cruel and crazy can a person be to kill a sect? However, she has never seen any persistence and madness in Shao Yunfan's eyes. Although her senior brother is usually cold and seems to be averse to fireworks, in fact he just has less desires than ordinary people. He cares about very few things and naturally cares less. Not much. Why would such a person with a pure heart and few desires drive a sect to extinction?

"How can it be possible to massacre the faction?"

Lou Xinzhou still couldn't believe it, and looked up at the two female disciples. The latter was frightened by her eyes and took several steps back. They looked at each other, and finally compromised.

Because although the person in front of me is only sixteen years old, she is full of aura that can only be achieved by strong people in the Golden Core. Although they can be considered geniuses and have reached the Golden Core cultivation level, the girl in front of them has only been in Kunlun for five years and is already close to Nascent Soul. The speed of cultivation is terrifying, and they are not easy to offend.

"Senior Sister Lou, it's like this, Shao Yun...cough, Senior Brother Shao went down the mountain to practice, it seems that it is for a female disciple named Yuan...Yuanhua."

One of the disciples hesitated and said that she did not dare to look directly into Lou Xinzhou's eyes. She lowered her head slightly and secretly observed the latter's expression. However, she saw that only one golden eye opened wider and wider, as if Hearing something unbelievable, the voices behind him gradually became lower and lower, until he barely finished a sentence, and then he didn't want to speak anymore. He pushed his companion beside him to the front and motioned for her to continue speaking.

"Just... I slaughtered a small sect in a remote place. The Fufeng Sect came to visit me and said it was their sect, and asked the elders to severely punish Brother Shao..."

Yuan Hua! How could it be Yuan Hua? !

"Where is my senior brother!"

"I just... just went down the mountain. Human feet are slow, so I probably haven't reached the bottom of the mountain yet."

······

As the sun rises, the wind becomes slightly chilly.

Lou Xinzhou walked down the stone steps until it disappeared, and then he saw an upright figure on the mountainside. He didn't know how long he stayed there. He looked up at the ancient ginkgo tree, standing quietly alone, like Are you waiting for someone?

"Senior brother."

Lou Xinzhou shouted softly, but his voice was too low and the man didn't hear him.

"Shao Yunfan."

She shouted again, her voice louder, but it was covered by the wind, and the man still didn't look back.

"..."

She had no choice but to walk closer, stepping on the fallen leaves. When the distance was only a few meters away, the man realized that someone was coming. He turned back to look at her, and smiled softly at the first sight.

The ginkgo leaves fell, and Lou Xinzhou's eyes suddenly became astringent. She was shocked to realize that the person in front of her was already a mortal without extraordinary hearing. How could she be heard when she shouted so quietly.

"Senior brother."

She shouted still as quietly, but the distance was closer, Shao Yunfan could hear her, and responded softly.

Lou Xinzhou lowered his head, his eyes were bright and dim. He had many questions in his heart, but he couldn't say a word. After a moment of silence, he whispered.

"Why, would..."

Shao Yunfan knew what she wanted to ask. Looking at her appearance, he knew that she already knew about his massacre of the sect, but he did not answer. He smiled softly and said goodbye.

"From now on, you have to take care of yourself when we are separated from the mortal world."
