Mount Jialan, hundreds of miles away from the city of Dian, is surrounded by forests on three sides and water on one side. It looks beautiful, but it used to be a mass grave.

A hundred years ago, a plague swept across the city of Dian, killing half of the city's population.In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the local government dragged the dead bodies and suspected infected villagers to the mountain overnight, doused them with kerosene, and set them on fire.

At that time, Jialan Mountain was just a barren mountain without a name. A fire burned for a day and two nights. In the end, the barren mountain became a dead mountain, and the mountain also had a name, named Jialan.

The living people have guilt in their hearts, but they are afraid of the restlessness of the dead and hate the world, so they take the meaning of Jialan to suppress the evil spirits for peace of mind.But four years ago, a foreign race from the Western Regions entered the customs and occupied Jialan Mountain. They used the natural grottoes on the mountain as their residence, used stone medicine powder to disperse the poisonous miasma in the mountain forest, and spread dream-knotting grass to isolate the outside world, becoming the lord of the barren mountain.

Qiu Junyu rushed to Jialan Mountain with the dying Tao Zhen.He forcibly kept Tao Zhen's heart veins with his unique heart-protecting secret method, and tied all his hopes on Abet Nurhong.Nurhong has been in retreat in Lingyun Grotto for more than a year. He ignored the affairs of the church and let the power fall to his side, which led to the current situation of civil strife and brother killing in the church.

To go to Lingyun Cave, one must cross the Wuya River, and there are water snakes lurking in the river, which are extremely poisonous, making people never return.The river bank was full of miasma, Qiu Junyu fed the antidote to Tao Zhen, turned around and pulled out a well-preserved raft from the hidden grass, gently pushed it into the water, and took Tao Zhen across the river.

When Qiu Junyu first arrived at Jialan Mountain, he couldn't stay idle, so he had a thorough understanding of the surrounding terrain, and naturally knew the shortcut to Lingyun Grotto.As soon as the bamboo raft entered the water, it was like fresh bait, causing a commotion underwater.The pitch-black snakes come swimming in groups, there may be more than a hundred of them, like flowing black clouds lurking at the bottom of the raft, winding up along the thin cracks, like water ghosts haunting the soul.

Qiu Junyu cut his finger with a dagger, and the dark red blood dripped all around. The spirit snake did not bite the master, smelling the familiar smell of blood, it disappeared in the water in an instant.There are many tributaries of the Wuya River, leading to various secret passages in the mountain. Qiu Junyu rowed the raft and chose a narrow stream. After a while, he entered a cave covered by vines.

The river flowed into the depths of the cave, and the bamboo raft sailed along the current. When it reached the end, a rough stone platform was seen on the bank.Qiu Junyu breathed a sigh of relief, jumped up with Tao Zhen on his back, walked along the stone platform to the cave wall, groped on the wet wall for a while, and found a long and thin stone crack.

Qiu Junyu put his body close to the cave wall, and shouted into the crack of the stone: "Father! I'm Bogda! I'm here to see you, old man! Open the door!"

The shouts echoed in the cave, and when the echoes dispersed, no one responded.

During Nurhong's retreat, he would not meet people easily, so Qiu Junyu had to shout again: "Father! My brother rebelled! He led people to chase me all the way! I was seriously injured! My life is at stake! Help!"

But after a while, the echo fell to the ground, but there was still no sound around.

Chou Junyu was sweating profusely, wishing he could kick the stone wall away, he frowned and thought about it, and then shouted inwardly: "Father! I brought my daughter-in-law to see you!!!! !!!”

And this sound was like a spell to break the wall, there was light in the cracks in the stone, and the stone wall in front of him suddenly opened wide.Chou Junyu's eyes lit up, and he quickly bent over to carry Tao Zhen on his back, and rushed into the stone gate like a bolt of lightning.Behind the door was a long staircase. Qiu Junyu led Tao Zhen and ran all the way, and arrived in Lingyun Grotto in a short while.And the person he wanted to see had been waiting in front of him for a long time.

Nurhong appeared in Lingyun Grotto, wearing a black robe as dark as the night, only the silver crown with his hair shining like stars.He was in the heyday of spring and autumn, with a vigorous figure, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and no scratches of time could be seen on the corners of his lips and eyes.

The lights in Lingyun Grotto are brightly lit, as bright as day, and Nurhong's body is full of brilliance, which makes him look like a dragon and a phoenix, and he is born in this world.Standing in the cave, he was not intimidated and angry, but when he saw Chou Junyu, his face was cold and solemn as if being unloaded by spring water, and the corners of his eyes and brows were full of joy and warmth.

"Where is my daughter-in-law? Quick! Let me see!"

Chou Junyu ran all the way out of breath. He gently put Tao Zhen on the ground on his back, and hurriedly said to Nurhong: "Father, he is dying! Save him!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, let me take a look first..." Nurhong squatted down in front of Tao Zhen, and slowly brushed away a few locks of white hair that blocked his face.

"Hmm... she looks pretty good..."

Nurhong narrowed his eyes on the unconscious Tao Zhen, his satisfied smile was not fully lifted, but his expression froze suddenly.His gaze swept across Tao Zhen's protruding Adam's apple and flat chest, and he said in surprise, "This...how is this a man?!"

Chou Junyu was burning with anxiety: "Oh! Dad! You don't care if he is a man or a woman! It's important to save people first!"

Nurhong's face was not hesitant, his eyes turned cold, he got up and left with a flick of his sleeves: "Save the woman, but not the man!"

Chou Junyu was caught off guard by this situation, he hurried to catch up and grabbed Nurhong's sleeves, his knees sank, and he knelt down to him with a plop.

"Daddy! I beg you! Help him!"

Nurhong stopped, looked back at Qiu Junyu who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "Why should I save him?"

Qiu Junyu was startled when he heard the words, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head.That's right, Jialan Mountain is not a good hall, and Nurhong is not a good person. It is not easy for him to save a dying person.Thinking of this, Qiu Junyu immediately took out the medical book that Tao Zhen handed over to him from his arms, and handed it to Nurhong with both hands.

"He is Tao Zhen, the head of Xuanmen sect! He showed his sincerity with medical codes. May our clan form an alliance with Xishan Pavilion and Xuanmen to fight against the Wulin League together!"

"Oh?"

The corners of Nurhong's lips curled up, and the corners of his eyes flickered, as if he was interested in it.He turned around and took the Chinese medicine book in Qiu Junyu's hand, flipping it twice in his hand, a smile appeared on his cold face.

"Very good, very good! This thing is very good!"

Nurhong smiled and muttered to himself, but he didn't mention anything about saving lives. After briefly reading the medical texts, he put the scroll in his pocket, as if he was going to leave again.

Chou Junyu said anxiously: "Father! Now that you have obtained the medical code! Hurry up and save people!"

The expression on Nurhong's face was like the sky in April, cloudy or sunny, and the expressions on his face had already changed a few times during this cup of tea.Seeing Chou Junyu's reluctance, he lowered the corners of his mouth and pursed into a line, a chill suddenly appeared on his face.

"What to save? I have all the medical codes, so why save people?! You just said that Xuanmen and Xishan Pavilion want to form an alliance with my clan? But now that Xuanmen is gone, why should they form an alliance with me? Besides Xishan Pavilion, if you want to form an alliance, the pavilion master came to discuss with me personally, and asked you to bring a half-dead person to spread the word? His airs are as big as the sky!"

Nurhong didn't reward him, he snorted coldly and shook his sleeves and left.Seeing that he had a heart of stone and no compassion, Qiu Junyu felt an inexplicable anger in his heart, and jumped up quickly, with five fingers forming claws, and attacked Nurhong's left shoulder.

Hearing the wind behind his ears, Nurhong moved half a step away, turned sideways to avoid Qiu Junyu's blow, frowned and said, "What a boy! How dare you attack Dad for a wild man?!"

With a wave of his wide sleeves, strong winds blew up all over his body, without raising his feet or punching, he shook Qiu Junyu away by about ten feet, and slapped him heavily on the hard stone wall.Qiu Junyu bumped into the uneven stone wall with his back, and spewed a mouthful of bright red. He fell heavily to the ground, braced his body to get up from the ground, his eyes were cold, his lips were scarlet, and he looked directly at Nurhong.

"If you don't save people, return the medical code to me!"

Chou Junyu roared, staggered two steps forward, and fell to the ground again. He gritted his teeth and got up, step by step, and walked towards Nurhong.

"You don't save people! I save them myself! Anyway, he saved my life by exchanging lives! At worst, I'll give it back to him! Anyway, he's dead! I'm not alive anymore!"

Nurhong's eyes narrowed: "You son of a bitch? Are you threatening me?"

Chou Junyu sneered, and said slowly: "Threat? Father? You are not only my son, can I threaten you?"

Chou Junyu raised his hand to wipe away the vermilion on his lips, and looked sadly at Tao Zhen who was lying on the ground, and said, "I just want to save him, as long as he can live, I am willing to die!"

Chou Junyu was in a mess, with blood mixed with dust on his face, forming dark red dirt on his face, blood dripped from his worn knees, and two clouds of dark red blood sprayed on his hem.Nurhong's fluttering clothes hang down silently, and the wind around him is restrained, and the defenses on all sides are removed.He stood on the spot with his hands behind his back, and saw his youngest son coming over the thorns and thorns, his eyes were as cold as a cold pool, and his eyes were like sinking springs and stones, unwavering.

For a moment, he couldn't help laughing.

Nurhong walked towards Qiu Junyu and clasped his shoulders with his hands. Qiu Junyu was unaffected, her knees softened, and she knelt down on one knee again.

"Bogda, it seems that you have grown a lot this time out."

Chou Junyu was startled, and looked up at Nurhong: "Father, you...you know?"

Nurhong softened his expression, and finally showed the appearance of a loving father, and sighed: "Of course...your father is not old...knows everything..."

"It seems that I was not wrong. Letting you, a heartless boy, go out and venture, can still be enlightened."

"So, Bogda, do you understand now?"

Chou Junyu was puzzled, frowned and asked, "What do you know?"

Nurhong looked sideways at Tao Zhen for a long time, and then said slowly: "Know what is love, what is righteousness, what is an inch of lovesickness, an inch of gray..."

"So now you should also understand why I keep Euridus by my side?"

The father's hand was firmly placed on his shoulder, the warmth in the palm permeated the skin and flesh, and penetrated into the deepest heart.Qiu Junyu clenched his fists and lowered his head. When his wet eyes were closed slightly, hot tears rolled down his bloody cheeks.

"Father..."

With a hoarse voice, Qiu Junyu called out daddy.

"I understand……"

"Please save him...please save Tao Zhen...I don't want him to die...I want him to live...I can't bear him...I can't let him go...just like you can't let go of Qiu Qinglian..."

Nurhong listened silently, then smiled in both eyes, dispelled the coldness around him, slowly withdrew his hand on Qiu Junyu's shoulder, and solemnly replied:

"Okay, I'll save him."

The heavy pendant that was pressing on her heart suddenly disappeared, and before Qiu Junyu had time to be happy, she suddenly fell into a soft darkness and passed out leaning on Nurhong's body.

With a long sigh, Nurhong picked up the exhausted and unconscious Chou Junyu, turned around and walked towards the depths of Lingyun Grotto.At the same time, a black shadow swept out of the hole, and in a blink of an eye, it came to Tao Zhen, grabbed his long gray hair, and dragged him into the hole.

Nurhong stopped immediately, turned his head and reprimanded: "Ghost slave, don't you understand what it means to be sympathetic to a woman? Take my daughter-in-law in, and move gently so that you don't get hurt."

The shadow dragged for a moment, and after thinking about it for a long time, he bent down stiffly, followed Nurhong's example, hugged Tao Zhen in his arms, and strode towards the cave.
