A strong wind suddenly blew up, the shadow of the candle was dim, the heavy door was closed with the six people entering, and the profound hall was completely silent.

The person in the middle is still in the black hair and black robe, with a straight figure, but there is no calm and heroic face of the young man, nor the Cheng Ye Xuan knife tightly held in his hand. previous years.

"...It really is you."

Seeing that Mo Yao was unmoved, Yun Chen's eyes became even more sad, he took a deep breath and choked up and said, "When I asked Xi at Mingxin Terrace, I felt like I was constantly shaking, let alone talk about your sword skills and movements. I admit my mistake, but I still don't want to believe it...until, until you called those two words again when you turned around."

Hearing this, the steady figure of the man in black finally trembled a little, he closed his eyes and sighed: "... Fairy."

A joke that was misunderstood in the past was mentioned again, but the situation was a reunion after seven years of life and death. When the lingering sound of the two words fell, Yun Chen also knelt on the ground with his knees limp as if exhausted, with tears all over his face. : "Yu Jin!"

The two people in the hall bowed their heads in silence, relatively silent, the truth is self-evident.Zong Yunzhuo and Situ Lin had already guessed in Xianyouzhai a few days ago, but they couldn't say they were not surprised when it came true.

Immediately there was dead silence in the hall, Situ Lin closed his eyes and meditated and clenched his fists tightly, Yun Zhuo's expression was complicated and he didn't know what to say, but Duan Zhaoying, who was a little out of the way, was still a bit calm, and after a moment of silence, he thought clearly about the words, and held the wave Shuang Hengjian stepped forward: "Jiumiao's chief apprentice, are you still alive?"

"No, the first disciple of Jiu Miao is dead."

Glancing at His Highness's crowd with different attitudes, Mo Yao smiled wryly: "The one standing in front of you now is not Li Che, but a half-human, not a ghost, who was united by Li Che's remnant soul and Cheng Ye Dao's body. .”

"A half-human is not a ghost?"

The four words came to my ears, and thinking of the dozens of people who were sacrificed for blood in Wangquan Town, Yun Zhuo frowned, but it was difficult to classify the benevolent and righteous heart of the year as the same as the ghost king who acted recklessly in front of him, and immediately shook his head Probing: "So brother Li, do you really harm people just to survive?"

Mo Yao said calmly: "I have long-cherished wishes and things I have to do. I must live in this world, no matter what the price is."

"What long-cherished wish is unfulfilled! What don't you need to know?!"

Although he didn't understand the details, but after all, he lived in Wangquan town for a while, Bai Xiao couldn't help it first, seeing that everyone had no intention of questioning, he stepped forward and glared at Mo Yao: "Dare to ask Mr. Ghost King?" , your life is your life, so Miss Zhao’s and the others’ lives are not your life?! Just because you want to live, you must sacrifice innocent people as a sacrifice to turn that Wangquan town into a dead city?!”

After saying that, the eyes flooded with water: "That's a living person in a town, a town of people! Just like that, just like this, they turned into dead bodies..."

So far, the voice has not been finished, but the boy's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, his lips gradually turned white from being bitten, and he finally choked up and couldn't speak anymore.Seeing this, Situ Ling behind her seemed to be moved, and she also raised her head to face Mo Yao, clenched her fists and asked each word: "What about the well-known Master Cheng Ye back then, so what if he is your elder brother's senior brother! Killing people for no reason for one's own selfish desires is a disservice to nature and justice." , are you still looking for excuses here today?"

Glancing at the young man in Zhanlu's robe, Mo Yao squinted his eyes: "Are you the younger brother of Junior Brother Ruxing?"

Situ Ling nodded, with even more anger in her eyes.

"Apart from your looks, I really can't tell that you two are brothers... Heh, it's interesting."

Contrary to Situ Ling's anger, Mo Yao's complexion did not change at all, the corners of his lips were not clear, and he muttered: "Don't worry, boy, I will not kill the lives of the people in that town in vain, and I will give you an explanation at that time."

Bai Xiao gritted her teeth: "Confess? What else can you explain? If you really want to confess, then pay Miss Zhao's life with your life!"

He said this excitedly, and seemed to be more crying because he remembered the unspoken apology more than a month ago. Duan Zhaoying, who was on the side, also became angry when he heard it, and his right hand came out of its sheath. Pointing directly at Mo Yao: "Disturb my senior brother's rest first, and kill innocent people to take blood to continue his life. Even if you are my senior brother's sworn brother, you are not the one who killed my senior brother, but what you have done now really makes someone Beg to differ!"

Mo Yao remained unmoved, and said firmly: "I don't need others to agree with me."

"you!"

At a loss for words, Duan Zhaoying's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, who knew that after a moment of hesitation, he was about to speak again, but saw Yun Chen, who was kneeling on the steps beside him, stepped forward on his knees and stopped his sword sharply.

"Duan Daozhang, please be merciful under the sword."

In just a short month, there were constant shocks and blows, and the young man in white looked even more haggard at this moment, but he still changed his previous gentle demeanor, holding the Lanshuang sword tightly with both hands as determined.The trembling fingers were dripping with blood, which almost instantly stained his snow-white cuffs, but it seemed that he couldn't feel it because of the lingering memory.

"Back when Guili's ghost energy leaked out, if Yu Jin hadn't saved me, she wouldn't have died in the pool, let alone what happened today."

When Duan Zhaoying showed surprise because of this, he let out a sad sigh: "Killing innocent people is certainly wrong, but Yujin made thousands of mistakes, and I was one of them. Ruo Daochang and the young masters must seek an explanation." , please punish me as well.”

"Bai Ze-jun! You!"

After all, this life was saved by the other party. Now that Yun Chen wants to protect Li Che, he can't really be disregarded.Seeing this, Duan Zhaoying stared slightly, and squeezed the hilt of the sword with a thin layer of sweat: "You really want to protect this bloody and debt-ridden person?"

Yun Chen was firm and unmoved: "Since we were married, Yu Jin and I have vowed to share weal and woe. I lost it once seven years ago, and now I can't let myself regret it again."

"you!"

The person in front of her spoke so earnestly that her body remained still on the ground, Duan Zhaoying was unable to break the deadlock even if she remained silent for a while, so she could only sigh and give up temporarily.

"It seems that Ye Bai is still thinking about some old love."

The icy sword edge gradually receded, Mo Yao looked at Yun Chen, who was not giving an inch in front of him, his expression was slightly pale, and he pinched the formula with two fingers of his right hand to release the spiritual power restraint from that person's hand.Immediately, Danzhu, who had held back for a long time, stepped down the steps to help him up.

Although her expression was cold due to the passage of time, the girl in the vermilion dress and gauze couldn't hide her worry at the moment, she hastily took out a clean silk cloth and wrapped it around Yun Chen's arm, intending to bandage his wound: "Second brother."

Yun Chen gently pushed her hand away, his expression still tangled: "I will heal wounds, just do it yourself."

"do it yourself?"

Seeing that the person has no intention of accepting favor, Mo Yao raised his eyebrows: "Oh, it's been seven years, and Ye Bai is still estranged from us."

Yun Chen pressed his red and swollen wrist and bowed his head in silence, his eyelids were lowered.

"Never mind."

Knowing that it was still difficult for him to accept the sudden change, Mo Yao didn't force it, and slowly looked at Situ Lin who bowed his head behind the group and said, "Junior Ru Zhi, you have been silent for a long time when we meet again. Besides, you have nothing to say to me?”

"No, it's not that I have nothing to say, I just don't know where to start."

Situ Lin stared at the strange yet familiar old friend, and seemed to finally find an outlet for the long silence, and his usual carefree tone was rarely filled with sadness: "I know you will learn the soul-locking art from Jiu Miaowu, I know you want to find out As for the cause of Daoist Qingluo's death, I also know that your aura has reappeared near Guilitan, but I still don't believe it's you after all the clues are in front of me."

Mo Yao said: "Then are you trustworthy now?"

"Let's believe it."

Situ Lin said: "I don't know why you are here, and I don't intend to ask what you have to do... But maybe, as Bai Zejun said, you have made a thousand mistakes so far, and there are also my mistakes of negligence seven years ago. should be held accountable together.”

Hearing this, Mo Yao's expression froze, but at the end he answered irrelevant questions and shook his head and sighed: "I heard that even if you don't have me these years, you will still be the leader of the school very well."

"But I don't like that."

Situ Lin said: "If I don't fight or grab, I can't carry on the old man's ambition and settle the past grievances. With my previous disposition, I might not have come to this point... People's calculations, right and wrong, since I took over, there have been a lot of things going on. Although I can still handle it, I gradually feel disgusted in my heart."

After finishing speaking, he sighed in a low voice as if remembering something: "Brother, I said that back then, if you become the head of the sect, I just want to be an elder to serve as your subordinate."

This unrealized joke is an eternal pain in his heart.

The face of the man in the hall is more stern than seven years ago. Although he now has a black robe and a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, although he has achieved a little martial arts and a little knowledge of ghosts, he is forced to chase after the unattainable figure after many years. , In the end, it is still difficult to defeat God's will, once again unknowingly defeated by the old man.

For a moment, Situ Lin suddenly felt that in front of Li Che, he would always be that little junior who was fooling around and dragging people's sleeves, and would always be the second generation ancestor who folded his arms with a hippie smile and waited to be glorified.Before returning to Litan in the past, the difference between life and death was between the two of them before they could speak. That piece of obsidian, together with shame and hatred, had been hidden in his heart for several cold and hot days. Until today, things are different.

After a moment of silence, Situ Lin slowly spread out his tightly clenched fingers. The cold light of the obsidian in it did not diminish, but it had been caressed and moistened over the years, just like the vigor and vigor when it was set on the black forehead of the young man in the past.

He whispered: "Brother, follow me back to Jiumiao."

"No need."

Mo Yao raised his hand to stop his junior brother's unspoken words, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes: "The world is impermanent, and there are thousands of regrets, which cannot be explained by a single agreement from the past. What's more, it's too late for me to see everything here. gone."

He wanted to come forward to comfort him, but just when he heard this, Yun Zhuo raised his head in confusion: "It's too late? I've been dead for three years and I've been resurrected and I haven't realized it's too late. What do you mean by that?"

"You and I are different."

Mo Yao said: "Seven years ago, I was swallowed by ghost energy and died under the Litan. My body was completely destroyed and only my soul remained. I saw the book of ghost practice in the book, so I tried to use my inner strength to lock the soul with a fluke heart, but I didn't know that it was a try, and locked me with the only surviving Cheng Ye Dao. half soul."

Situ Lin sighed: "Senior brother is talented and intelligent, and his cultivation level is very high. It really is a road that never ends."

"There is always a way out?"

Mo Yao shook his head: "You know that the ghost in the pool is very strong, even though my soul is still alive, I have also transformed into a half-human but not a ghost sword spirit, but in the end I am still bound by powerful spiritual power, deadlocked and returned to the bottom of the pool In addition, the breath is weak, and the sound of shouting and shouting cannot be transmitted outside the pool, and you have not even known the difference in your ghost pupils for many years, let alone talking about other disciples of the immortal sect."

"Yu Jin?"

This statement was quite shocking, and Yun Chen who was beside him was also breathless: "You have been trapped at the bottom of that pool all these years?!"

Mo Yao nodded: "If Dan Zhu and Aunt Bu De hadn't returned and divorced more than a year ago, they searched carefully and finally rescued me, I don't know how long I would be trapped under the water."

Even though he was shocked when he heard the words, Yun Zhuo almost didn't think about it: "Then you have been rescued, why don't you go to Jiumiao to find brother Lin or go to Wuling to find my second brother to tell the world, but you want to set up your own family here?"

"To find an old friend and tell the world? Mr. Yun is really pure in heart, and he said it so lightly."

Mo Yao shook his head and smiled wryly: "I have been trapped at the bottom of the pond for more than five years. I don't know anything about the outside world, but as soon as I saw the sun again, I heard that the situation on the rivers and lakes has changed drastically. First, a fox demon family in Tianshan was found guilty, and Sirius Jun Goulian Nanzhao bloodbathed Yunya to death with more than culpability, and Wuding's head disciple Quyao was injured too much and died strangely... When he was terrified, he didn't know what to say, but he didn't know what to say until he was told the details by his younger sister I also know that the deaths of these people are all due to the fact that the ghost qi leaked out that killed me seven years ago and the truth has never been revealed!"

After a pause, he closed his eyes and sighed as if remembering something, and gritted his teeth: "In the past 20 years, I lived too well, thinking that as long as I treat people with kindness and righteousness, I will be able to repay my grievances with kindness. It's a pity that the sky has no eyes and the world is not benevolent. , I was trapped in the pool for five years to save my friends, and no one knew about it, but once I got out of the pool, I heard that the old man was dead, wronged or disabled! I can’t believe that the day is so beautiful, but no one really realizes that there is a wrong in Tianshan. No one really noticed that Luo Di died inexplicably and the real culprit was someone else!"

Mo Yao's words were stern, and the matter he mentioned was not the pain of everyone. Thinking about his insanity and madness in these years, Situ Lin's expression is also complicated: "Senior brother..."

"Yeah, they definitely know there's a problem, they're just playing it safe or they can't do anything about it."

Mo Yao flicked his robe sleeves, and his expression became more angry: "So, since those head elders are all trash who can't find out the truth, then I will investigate. If the price of finding out the truth is too unreasonable, they care about reputation. , then I will be the bad guy! Since my shell was beyond recognition at the time, and I still need blood to nourish it, even if I go looking for you, it will only increase my troubles... Then it would be better to change my name like when I fled to Jiumiao. Surname, live a new life, so you can do what you want to do."

"From this point of view, I'm probably one of the trash masters you're talking about."

I haven't seen each other for seven years, and I don't want to miss my old friend. My heart and mind have changed a lot. Although the purpose of the two people is very consistent, but in the end it is a coincidence. Wrinkled, hesitantly said: "Brother, since you decided to go your own way, why did you leave Hongfeng to let Daoist Duan and others notice this? Don't you still have some hope for the 'Wulin Zhengdao'?"

"It's just a backup."

Mo Yao shook his head, not paying attention: "What's more, even if you took Hongfeng to investigate all the way, didn't you still only meet us in that town, and you are still at a loss as to the cause of Yu Luodi's death?"

"No, not helpless."

Situ Lin said: "We have found some inside information through the illusion of the red maple, and after more than a month of investigation, the truth behind the layers of fog may have opened the clouds."

Xu did not expect Situ Lin to say this, Mo Yao's eyes froze: "What do you mean, you have found out the real culprit who killed Luodi?"

"Well, if the deduction is correct, that person is Zhe Aiqing Tao Qingyan."

Situ Lin said: "Although it's just a conjecture without much evidence, and there are many details that are still unclear, but seven years ago, there are all kinds of connections between the cause and effect, and this statement is the only one that holds water."

"Tao Qingyan?"

Mo Yao squinted his eyes when he heard the words: "If that's the case, this person is now the lord of the first palace, and it's really difficult to deal with. But since you already know the truth, why don't you just tell the world directly and let the wicked be punished? Come here and talk to me first?"

Situ Lin said: "The thief planned to kill several people in seven years, so it is said that there must be a second move, and the worst case is that he will die with the Central Plains martial arts at all costs. Now there is not enough evidence, and the other three factions may not be able to listen in advance. I ordered to fight with Jiu Miao. It happened that Bai Zejun was chasing you and went to Wuling to cause chaos, so when I came to save people, I also wanted to ask you to join hands with the enemy."

"Join together? Why join forces?"

Mo Yao raised his eyebrows: "Don't forget, you are the head of Jiumiao, not me, and you are not me in the righteous way. What does the Central Plains Wulin's persecution by thieves have to do with my Wuming Mountain? You said you found out the truth about Luodi's murder." The culprit is Palace Master Tao but there is no evidence. Then Yunya Palace said that the Bai family stole the tokens, and Wu Ling said that Yunzhuo killed his father and betrayed his teacher to link up with Nanzhao. There is only some flimsy evidence, but who should I believe? "

"Brother!"

After painstaking investigations but met with such suspicion, it was almost unbelievable to hear this, and thinking of the situation outside the palace after the cooperation failed, Situ Lin's expression became more complicated.

After a while, he took a deep breath again, with bloodshot eyes faintly visible in the corners of his eyes: "How come Jiu Miao has been kind to you for more than ten years in nurturing you, is it really hard-hearted and unwilling to rescue you this time?"

Mo Yao was unmoved, and raised his hand to signal for the ghost general beside him to come: "I don't trust anyone except my younger sister and Ye Bai, including you."

Before the words were finished, several ghost generals came behind the crowd and chanted spells. After a while, several spiritual barriers surged from the ground, winding upwards and approaching the vital point. bound.

"Brother?"

Even though he knew that the other party's heart had changed drastically, he didn't expect this to happen. Seeing that he couldn't move his hands, Situ Lin raised his head in astonishment: "What do you mean?"

"Junior brother has always been exquisite and intelligent, but in just a few months, he has figured out the clues of Luodi's matter, so it's no problem to find out the cause and effect..."

Mo Yao said slowly: "My mountain is surrounded by a dead city, and you have nowhere to go. Now that you are brothers and have come from a long way, why don't you show your face and stay in my palace for a few days!"

There was no deep meaning in this remark, Situ Lin raised his head suddenly when he sensed something: "Temporary residence? Brother, you..."

"I'll give you seven days."

When Mo Yao turned around, he sneered, his expression was cold but he still seemed to have hope: "If you can also find out the truth about the leakage of Guilitan's ghost seven years ago, then I will believe you at that time, and I will do it myself." Will help."
