The sun rises eastward.

Everything in southern Xinjiang finally returned to calm.

There are several clusters of shrubs and needles growing on the desolate mountain tops. Except for the snow-covered volcano in front, the southern border is still evergreen all year round.This place is very close to the mysterious valley, and most of it was destroyed by the embers, only the cheapest shrubs and grasses survived. A man in black stood on the top of the hill, looking in the direction of Fenxiang Valley in a daze.

The fire in Fenxiang Valley has been extinguished, and there are faint colorful streamers at the entrance of the valley, but it has spread all over the surrounding area overnight, the eyes of the man in black flickering lightly, and the sound of footsteps behind him, a masked man in black The man in front appeared behind him, but the man in black didn't pay attention, still looking in the direction of the snow-capped mountain.

The masked man tore off his mask, twisted his figure, revealing his original appearance, soft and charming, but his eyes looked coldly at the back of the cliff.

"Congratulations, sir, for getting revenge."

The ghost doctor turned around and looked up and down the visitor. The visitor lowered his eyebrows and looked respectful. He smiled in a low voice: "Revenge? What kind of revenge?"

Jin Ping'er looked up at the ghost doctor, then lowered her head again, her heart froze, her expression remained calm, and she didn't answer.

The ghost doctor withdrew his gaze and looked at Fenxiang Valley again. After a long time, he said slowly: "Although I hate that place very much, I have never had any enmity with Fenxiang."

At that moment, his hoarse voice seemed to have aged a lot, Jin Ping'er raised her head, and the ghost doctor's back was bent a little, she became suspicious, but the purple blade hidden in the dark never retracted.

"Then—what's your plan in the future, Mister? Ping'er, but listen to Mister's orders."

"My purpose is to destroy the Eight Ominous Profound Fire Formation. Now that the purpose has been achieved and the things I want are obtained, it's time to go back."

Jin Ping'er was stunned for a moment, apparently he didn't expect the ghost doctor to leave so easily. "go back?"

"Fox Qishan."

The ghost doctor mentioned a place name, and Jin Ping'er was startled. Could it be that the ghost king has returned to Middle Earth from the wilderness?

Turning around, the ghost doctor saw Jin Ping'er's appearance, and said, "Of course the suzerain is still in the wild temple, but it's only a matter of time before you come back. Your identity should not appear in the ghost king's sect anymore. If you want to stay in the southern border, stay behind." That's right."

"This..." Jin Ping'er pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then knelt down and said: "Mr. has insight into the details, Ping'er thanked you sir."

The ghost doctor smiled, sarcasm flashed in his eyes, he glanced at Fen Xiang again, and walked away slowly, passing Jin Ping'er, his voice drifting across the cliff.

"Fenxiang has declined. If you can't let go of your sweetheart and want to stay, it's okay. Anyway, this is the last peace. I'm talking about this world."

Something fell in front of Jin Ping'er, and the ghost doctor never stopped. Jin Ping'er looked down, and saw a bone jade with a strange shape and a long time ago, which was fused into the shape of a bear's head. , with a character 'Li' engraved in seal script on the back.

Jin Ping'er stood up, holding the bone jade in his hand, puzzled, looked up at the ghost doctor, just in time to meet the look in his eyes.

"No matter what you want to do, don't try to kill me, this is advice."

Jin Ping'er's heart trembled suddenly, she knelt down immediately, and said in a trembling voice: "Ping'er sends you off to Mr.

When she raised her head, she was the only one left on the mountain. Jin Ping'er put away the purple blade, soaked in cold sweat. She looked at the direction the ghost doctor left with lingering fear, and then snorted coldly, and left the barren mountain.

Burning incense, Mountain and River Hall.

The chaos of beasts, the catastrophe of dragons, the death of the valley owner, the destruction of the valley, one after another, the valley owner and the law enforcement elders died together, less than forty people were left in the incense, the beast monster once again choleraed the southern border, and the incense could be said to have fallen into a desperate situation .

"Burning incense is good at fire. Although there are many changes in the five-element phantom array, it comes down to its fire. There are many demons in the world who are afraid of fire, and the level barriers that are filled with mana and magical powers of treasures are also strong. Don't worry about your own mana. The method I taught you is to change the five-element illusion flag every day. If Xiaoxiao wants to invade me, he must be prepared to die! If you can live until now, you are the most elite disciples of Fenxiang Valley. With you, Fenxiang can definitely stand up again Get up! So we can't relax, there is a daily patrol arrangement here, and it must be strictly enforced."

"Yes!" Everyone responded.Qing Luo stepped forward to take the patrol watch from Yan Hong, and led the crowd back, leaving Xiao Zhong waiting for orders.

Looking at the retreating disciples, Yan Hong heaved a sigh of relief, and stayed up all night for several days, and finally the defense of burning incense was formed. Elder Peng stepped forward and said softly: "Hong'er, you haven't rested for a few days, go and rest. rest."

Yan Hong shook her head, Elder Peng sighed and did not persuade, even the elders who had been cultivating for the past few days were still tired, but Yan Hong was still full of energy, tall and straight like a mountain, the weak girl and the iron fighter the same.

"Senior Sister Hong,"

Xiao Zhong naturally wanted to persuade Yan Hong to rest, but Yan Hong asked: "How about what I ordered you?"

"Here," Xiao Zhong showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, "when the beast god was born earlier, the owner of the valley took us away from the incense, and the people around died without the protection of the incense, and fled. The five tribes in southern Xinjiang also disappeared. Mystery, only some houses have been repaired recently, and the rest of the houses do not have extra manpower, repairing the Shanhe Palace will be even more,, "

Yan Hong raised her hand to stop Xiao Zhong from continuing, her brows were furrowed tightly. The Mountain and River Hall represented the grandeur of burning incense for thousands of years, and it was also the temple in the hearts of incense burners. It wasn't that Yan Hong wanted to make things difficult for Xiao Zhong, but that people's hearts should not be disturbed at this moment.

"I'll find a solution to this matter." Yan Hong stretched her brows, without showing a trace of distress, Xiao Zhong also calmed down, but Yan Hong said again: "Brother, are you awake?"

Xiao Zhong's heart tightened, and he nodded heavily. The elders had already asked about this in advance, so they couldn't help but sigh.

This Li Xun was crying and laughing in the snowy day. His injured body couldn't take it anymore. He passed out and had a high fever. Fortunately, Zhou Xiaohuan was able to save his life. After he woke up, he shut himself up. In the room, I don't eat or drink, don't talk, and don't see anyone.

Originally, he was expected to serve as the Valley Master to unite people's hearts, but it seems that the future is bleak.

"Hey~ The soup and medicine sent today are also sent back intact, one Li Xun is like this, the other, cough." Elder Lin was pulled by the elder next to him in the middle of his words, and when he met Shang Yanhong's calm eyes, he automatically stopped talking Son.

"Just wake up. Xiao Zhong, go and give me the medicine."

"Hey, good!"

Xiao Zhong retreated with joy, Yan Hong looked back at the main seat in Shanhe Hall, said nothing more, raised her head, and saw the sky, blue and blue through the empty roof of Shanhe Hall.

Burning incense, Shuying Mei, East Chamber.

The valley was dilapidated, and there were still bricks and tiles to shelter from the wind and rain in the place where they lived all year round. Yan Hong came to Li Xun's gate alone, the soup in her hand was still steaming.

She paused at the door, then knocked on the door.

At this moment, Xiao Zhong and other disciples have all gone out, the east chamber is empty, the knock on the door is loud, but there is no sound in the room.Yan Hong then knocked on the door again slowly, taking it easy, one knock and another.

"Get out! Get out!" A roar came from inside, and with the sound of porcelain falling to the ground, Li Xun screamed hoarsely, and a cup fell on the door frame.

"Senior brother, it's me."

The room was quiet for a moment, and then Li Xun's choked and deep voice came: "Get lost."

The medicine was already a little cold, Yan Hong pushed the door open and walked in.

The room was very dark, with broken cups and bowls everywhere, Yan Hong's entry brought sunshine into the room, she put the bowl on the table, the screen of the next bed had fallen to the ground, Li Xun was sitting on the ground beside the bed, Wearing only underwear, with disheveled hair and unkempt face, she glanced at Yan Hong with a pair of dull eyes, smiled sarcastically, and lowered her head again.

Yan Hong didn't show any expression, just looked at the room and put it away, the smoke of the soup rose slowly, neither Yan Hong nor Li Xun spoke.

Only the sound of Yan Hong tidying up the room was left in the room, not loud but trivial.

Li Xun frowned irritably, got up suddenly but fell down on the bed because he was too weak, he laughed at himself: "Hehe, what do you care about me? We are all abandoned children! Abandoned children! Even begging him to stay Can't do it, he doesn't even bother to take me with him to death! I am the heir of Fenxiang, but I don't understand this Fenxiang at all, I don't understand the master who raised me and taught me, I don't understand everyone! What is the use of incense now, what is incense to me? Why..."

Yan Hong walked to the bedside, and the shadow fell on Li Xun, he stopped murmuring, and looked at Yan Hong blankly, his eyes were no longer that handsome and handsome man.

"It's not too late to understand now. Your name prefix will always say Fenxianggu, Fenxianggu Li Xun."

A light flashed in Li Xun's eyes, and it was fleeting. He shook his head, smiled, and wept. "Fenxianggu Li Xun, Fenxianggu Li Xun...I'm afraid I won't be able to express the pride I had back then."

"But I can still! Fenxiang Gu Yanhong. I can even speak out about my sect more proudly than before. It is because of Fenxiang that Yanhong is what he is today. How can I not be proud!"

The sharp light in Yan Hong's eyes was like a sharp sword, Li Xun suddenly clutched his chest tightly, unable to breathe.

"Glory is created with both hands. It is definitely not a lie that Fen Xiang can become one of the three decent ones. Maybe she committed a crime, and Fen Xiang has also tasted the karma. What will become of Fen Xiang in the future depends on us." Things to think about, things to do.”

Li Xun covered his ears, as if he didn't want to listen any more, Yan Hong didn't soften his heart at all, even his face was colder than before.

"Desperation may be painful, but at the same time it is an opportunity to change one's destiny! It is the end of a mistake, and the beginning of choosing the right path. Only those who can extricate themselves when they reach the end of the mountain are worthy of being the leader of Fenxiang Valley! Brother Xun , you have to stand up, you are the future owner of our Fenxiang Valley, you have to stand up. For those lost souls, for everyone's expectations. You have to be worthy of the ancestors of the Li family, worthy of passing on your Jiuyang Uncle Li."

"Ah!!!" Li Xun roared, punched his fists to the sides, and with a bang, the bed fell down. He curled up on the ground and covered his ears, his face was blurred by tears. Rainbow skirt. "Yanhong, Hongmei, stop talking, stop talking..."

The title of childhood sweetheart has never been used since they became orphans and joined Yun Yilan's sect. Their parents and ancestors were also members of the Fenxiang sect who shed their blood for Fenxiang.

"I. I'm just a useless piece of trash. Even if I was used, I'm afraid Master couldn't control you and Xiucai chose me. Genius, genius, you keep calling me that, and I think it's ridiculous that I'm one of the new generation of disciples. The most powerful thing is that only I can withstand the heavy responsibility, but in the end, I am not half as good as you and junior sister. I am jealous of Xiu, when I heard about her deeds when she was traveling, I was jealous of her, jealous of the prestige she established in the world, jealous of her The speed of practice, I once secretly regarded her as my biggest opponent, and then I even obeyed the master's instructions, and designed to frame Zeng Shushu, Wen Min and the others. Obviously they are Miss Lu's fellow students, but I still did it. Although they are fine, but I can't pretend to be murderous."

"I, righteous, can't be upright, proud and jealous. Evil, can't be ruthless, and repeat. If I can't even be sorry for myself, who else can I be sorry for?"

Yan Hong squatted down and gently hugged Li Xun into her arms. "You are still worthy of us juniors and younger sisters, you are worthy of Fenxiang. When we were all still inexperienced, you always rushed ahead in any danger and protected us well behind you. Guarding Fenxiang, you always take the lead and work hard. In the past Although they didn't kiss you, they were convinced by the cry of 'big brother'. Brother Xun, we are all waiting for you to stand up again."

Yan Hong took out the Incense Jade Book, the bamboo slips and jade slips just formed a complete incense jade book, Yan Hong handed it to Li Xun.

Seeing the flash in his eyes, Li Xun understood something, and shed tears again, but seeing Yan Hong's firm face, he raised his hand tremblingly, pushed the incense jade book back into Yan Hong's arms, and took a deep breath. "Yan Hong, let me be quiet, be quiet." It seemed that she still wanted to escape.

Yan Hong frowned, and immediately stopped forcing, and said softly: "Drink that medicine."

Li Xun nodded, walked back to the ruined bed, and closed his eyes.Yan Hong put the Condensing Flame Curse on the medicine bowl, then left and closed the door.

Back in the dark room, Li Xun opened his eyes and looked at the closed door for a long, long time without blinking.

"The phoenix originates from the fire, dies from the fire, and is reborn from the fire. Only after suffering the pain can it be reborn from the ashes of the fire. Its voice is brighter, its feathers are more abundant, its spirit is more marrow, and it is brilliant and eternal. Burning incense is a phoenix bathed in fire. Hongmei."

The deep voice echoed in the room for a long time.

※※※

Xuanhuo Altar, Snow Mountain.

Incense burning is like spring all the year round, and only here is winter, but this place is clearly a volcano, and hot magma still flowed out in the past.

Yan Hong stepped on the snow and walked slowly towards the Xuanhuo Altar, the stone tablet was probably broken into sand.

In the forbidden place of Xuanhuo, the disciples stopped.

A string of footprints left in the snow.

Yan Hong didn't have any expression on her face, she still had that gentle brow, but it always seemed to have a feeling of calm and prestige.After crossing the mountain pass and seeing the situation there, Yan Hong expected it.

The incense-burning guests are all here, Gui Li stands by himself, Wen Min and Zeng Shushu stand next to each other, and the rest of them stand together, closest to the person who has been kneeling, Yan Hong doesn't come forward.

Xiu, has been kneeling there without moving a bit, under the knees, the several inches of snow that has sunk into it may have once been the steps of the Xuanhuo Altar.

She has no expression, just looking at the volcano that has been raised higher and higher. There is snow on the top of the mountain. Above the clouds and mist, there is a crater. There is an inexhaustible fire in the center of the earth surging in the volcano.

"Sister Lu, go and persuade sister Xiu'er, she should rest now."

Lu Xueqi didn't speak, just looked at Xiu, ever since she knelt down, Lu Xueqi didn't persuade her, but as long as she knelt, Lu Xueqi stood for as long as she did.

Killing God has returned to Xiu's side, stuck in the snow, but Xiu didn't take a look at it, in front of him are some broken blue ice crystals, and one white and one red Meridian Duck Axe, lying quietly in the snow inside.

Zhou Yixian tugged on Xiaohuan's sleeve, shook his head, glanced at Xiaobai who had also been standing there for several days and nights, sighed, secretly pulled the wild dog and Xiaohuan away, passed everyone, saw the standing Yanhong's eyes lit up at the mountain pass.

In fact, Xiaobai wanted to pull Xiu up several times, but even she felt a sense of loss in her heart. What kind of mood was she?

Gui Li walked over slowly, passed Lu Xueqi and Xiao Bai, and walked to Xiu's side.

"Sister Xiu." He just yelled, and then stood there in a daze. He was not a good-spoken person, and he saw everything that happened in Fenxiang Valley, so he didn't understand, what is righteousness?What is evil?

Suddenly there was a chuckle from the side, he lowered his head, and met Shangxiu's eyes, which were very chaotic, as if covered with a layer of veil, he couldn't see clearly, but he had a feeling of seeing into people's hearts.

"Heh, what are you confused about?"

Gui Li Yihe, but he also knew that he couldn't hide it from Xiu, so he simply said what was in his heart: "These years I have walked the righteous way and my cultivation level has become higher and higher, but I have become more and more unable to see the road under my feet. Righteous way has an addiction. People with blood are easy to kill, and the Demon Cult also has people with kind hearts. What is good and evil in the world?"

"It's a prison."

Gui Li stared blankly at Xiu, her smile came into his eyes clearly.

"Xiaofan, let me ask you, were you forced to come to this day? Or did you choose?"

Gui Li's heart skipped a beat, he thought of Pu Zhi, Liu Po ​​Mountain, Zhu Xian, Baguio, he was silent.

"Good and evil are a cage, imprisoning everyone in the world. But it is also this cage that makes the world not alone."

"Not lonely? Is it?" Gui Li muttered to himself.

"You are in Qingyun, you have Dazhufeng and a group of relatives and friends, and you are in Ghost King Sect, there are some people I may not know, but you can always feel them, don't you? Thinking about it this way, are you lonely?"

Gui Li glanced at Zeng Shushu, then at the wild dog, unable to refute, his heart was faintly touched.

"I'm not good or evil, but I'm lucky to be in the incense and be controlled. Maybe many people think that there is no bondage, no imprisonment is freedom, but do you know what I was like when I was free before? Alone, It's not that you don't rely on others, but that you can't rely on anyone, so you get used to being strong. No one will tell you right or wrong, and no one can control you, but you are alone. Such freedom, give you you Will you want it?"

Gui Li shook his head without thinking.

"Oh. So you should be glad that no matter the good or the bad, there is someone by your side to tell you how to go. What I can tell you is that people have always followed suit, and they have a clear conscience. You have your own judgments about right and wrong, make your own choices, and then , without hesitation!"

Gui Li is like a slap in the face, is it really love in those red eyes?Still deep!

He laughed at himself, "I wanted to comfort you, but I didn't want you to explain it to me."

"Because I'm not confused. Even if their hands are bloody and they go the wrong way, one of them is my master and the other is my uncle. Now, you all protect each other with all your strength, this is the meaning of the existence of shackles and obstacles in the world. We are not gods and Buddhas, and we cannot become gods and Buddhas."

"You are suffering because you have a devil's debt in your heart, and I am suffering because I have an obstacle in your heart, but is there really only pain and sorrow? You all go back, I will be fine!" Xiu knew that everyone was listening and could hear .

A cold wind howled from the snow-capped mountains, white hair reflected in the flying snow, and the red dress was straight and clean.

"Sister Xiu, you are my sister, you have always been." Gui Li turned and left, turned his back to the figure, glanced at Xiaohuan who was beside Zhou Yixian and Yan Hong, and left Fenxiang.

Wen Min and Zeng Shushu then also left the Xuanhuo Altar, Xiaobai stared at Xiu for a while, and finally walked towards Zhou Yixian and the others.

"He is grand, grand, open-minded. Little Xiu'er has a well-deserved name, Shura Hedaxiu, incense Hedaxiu. Why don't you go there? With her help, you can relax a lot in the near future."

Yan Hong chuckled: "Why does she need me to comfort her?" She glanced at Xiaobai meaningfully, looked past her at the other person, and looked away for a moment. "I'm here to ask you to go back and rest." The words were aimed at everyone, but the eyes fell on Xiaobai.

Xiaobai's face changed, and then he lost his temper under Yan Hong's gaze. These two women in Fenxiang Valley——

Yun Yilan and Shangguan Ce.

Xiaobai silently read their names in his heart.

"Let's go, don't hang around here anymore." Xiaobai gathered his clothes and left first, Yanhong led Zhou Yixian and the others followed closely behind.

In the vast snow-capped mountains, the sky is full of snow, and there are only two people left.

Lu Xueqi walked to Xiu's side and stood quietly.

"Xiu'er, did you offend Elder Qin again? Go hunt and kill thirty flame beasts."

She rushed into the Flame Ridge, and it took three days and three nights to complete the punishment, her cultivation base improved greatly, and when she returned to Tianxiangju to return to her life, he only took a few bottles of wound medicine for herself, and said nothing.

But she knew that the tall old man guarded her every step of the way for those three days and three nights, knowing that she had suffered even a slight injury.

"Damn girl, you agreed to give me a bottle of good wine if you can't pass the three tricks, do you want to go back on your word?"

The gray-clothed old man had a fierce face, and he was so serious even when he was addicted to alcohol. She smiled and offered good wine, and took the opportunity to sneak attack. As a result, she was beaten until she couldn't get off the ground for three days.

"Okay, it's not bad today, I have passed ten tricks, and I will reward you with a bottle of treasure after I take this trick."

"Xiu'er, you missed the morning class for no reason, and went hunting ten wild boar monsters."

"Girl, try my newly brewed wine."

"Xiu'er, the 'go back' formation is very particular..."

"En, you really have good comprehension." "En, Xiu'er, you did a good job."

She was young and energetic, and she always committed some mistakes of being lawless and disrespecting her teachers back then.

At that time he would say: "Although I like your stinky girl's temper, there are rules for burning incense. There are some things you must not commit. I will not forgive you the first one!"

He would say: "In a martial arts competition, the one with the highest skills wins. It's because you love your apprentices and are inferior to others. What's wrong with Xiu'er. Elder Wu, elders should have the bearing of elders."

……

He said: "If you can't do it, let us do it for you!"

He said, "Take care!"

"Master, uncle..."

The snowstorm is getting bigger and bigger, but the snow is melting.

First a drop, then a piece, turned into a puddle of water.

Lu Xueqi stretched out her hand, and hugged Xiu tightly into her arms. Her head was deeply buried in her waist, and Lu Xueqi's clothes were wet.

"Ah-ah-"

She finally burst out crying.

"Xueqi, Xueqi, Xueqi..." She called her name over and over again.

"I'm here." She stroked her hair one by one.

The howling wind and snow drowned out the woman's cries.
