Chapter 21: A Long Way to Go

Chapter 21 A long way off

The sounds of killing all around rose like a tide, and the black undercurrent instantly covered the entire mountain top. The white clothes and blue shirts of Qionghua's disciples were mixed in it, like water droplets melting like a river, hard to find.

Xuan Zhen's clothes were stained with blood, but he remained calm and composed. As he turned around, the sword wind swayed, and the surrounding enemies retreated one after another.

At the other end, a group of Qionghua disciples were supporting themselves with all their strength. Seeing the help coming from a distance, their spirits were lifted. The two sides quickly joined together, standing back to back with swords, forming a circle.

Xuan Zhen stood still, and immediately asked, "Are there any disciples from our sect on the Juan Yuntai?"

"Senior brother Xuanji had already taken the wounded and the second and third generation disciples who were weaker in martial arts to avoid Jianwuping."

"All the fellow disciples from the outer circle of the demon world have arrived, and besides us, there should be a hundred or so people!"

"Okay!" Hearing this, Xuan Zhen was relieved, his eyes quickly swept across the Shura field in front of him, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone, most of the fellows of this sect are still fighting the enemy bravely in the deepest part of the demon world. The demons are insidious and cunning. This ghost trick is nothing more than trying to cut off our retreat! This battle is about the survival of our Qionghua faction, you and I must guard Juanyuntai, and we must not let it succeed!"

This elder brother who is usually the most modest and elegant, is now majestic and heroic.A few words were sent far away with extremely pure internal force, and the aura surged, as if resounding in people's ears.Hearing these words, the fellow disciples who were scattered all over the place were greatly boosted in morale. They pushed aside the layers of dark clouds surrounding them and gathered quickly.In the dark ocean, gradually, a dazzling white condensed.

All the monsters were taken away by the momentum of the crowd, and they didn't dare to attack again rashly, they only let out a low and threatening roar from their throats.In the excitement of the crowd, one person laughed out loud, with a silver spear in his hand like a cold star, and a cloak on his shoulders like a wave of blood, rolling straight towards him, and the figure of Gui Xie suddenly appeared like a god and demon coming to the world.

"Xuan Zhen, what you said sounds good! Your teacher and fellow disciples all snatched the amethyst stone in the Illusory World, how could they care about you? It is really stupid to be loyal and responsible for such a master, willing to die!"

Xuan Zhen didn't hear it, raised his sword and pointed at a distance: "Take down the leader of the demon army!"

The crowd rushed forward, Gui Xie waved his spear, and the powerful demonic wind pressed down, immediately creating a few feet of space around him, and when he raised his hand, a strange color flashed on his face, and when he looked up, he saw a glass-colored The spirit stone barrier was turned upside down, and he couldn't help but sneer: "It's so well prepared. I don't know why you are so arrogant, so you have nothing to fear!"

Xuan Zhen accepted the move with a faint smile: "This place is not the Illusory Demon Realm, so you can't wait for the monsters to make waves. With this spirit stone guarding you, you can use at most five successes. It's still uncertain who wins and who loses!"

Gui Xie gritted his teeth angrily, his spear danced like a storm, and all the monsters under him jumped up with their claws on. All Qionghua's disciples also concentrated on meeting the enemy, swords, lights, blood and shadows swayed intertwined, and the two sides fought in a melee.

Just when it was difficult to separate, there was a sudden burst of clanging and clanging zither sounds, which disturbed Qionghua's disciples so much that they were disturbed and unsteady on their feet.But the monsters seemed unaffected, they rushed forward with their teeth and claws, forcing everyone to retreat again and again.

Gui Xie raised his eyebrows, his expression beamed with joy, but he cursed: "Yi Ze, I don't need you to trouble me!"

Amidst the music, a woman hummed softly: "I came earlier than you. If there are many things to talk about, it is you, General Guixie, who are the most troublesome."

Just as Gui Xie rolled his eyes at Kong, he heard an ear-piercing sword cry, the ear-piercing magic sound stopped, and a man shouted sharply: "Stop talking nonsense, take the move!"

Xuan Zhen heard it clearly, and his expression turned cold: "Junior Brother Yun!"

Yun Tianqing's voice sounded from afar: "Senior Brother Xuan Zhen, I'll take care of it here."

Xuan Zhen led the crowd to fight against a large number of monsters, but he couldn't tell the difference. Without hesitation, he nodded and said: "Okay, you should be more careful!"

Yi Ze took advantage of the situation and cursed: "Stinky boy, you really should be careful!" While speaking, the black figure was pulled up from the ground, and flew towards the lotus platform in midair again, but a white shadow flashed in front of him, and one person blocked him, It was Yun Tianqing without a doubt.She was blocked several times, and was hindered by the fairy breath of the spirit stone barrier. She was completely terrified, but she couldn't use her hands and feet.

Yun Tianqing stabbed quickly with his sword, and said with a smile, "Unless you step over my corpse."

Yi Ze's face was frosty, she pursed her lips tightly, and dodged away, holding a heavy jade harp in her hand, her movements were still light and unusual, but no matter what methods she used, there was always someone who was faster and more ruthless than her.The two wrestled between square inches, and the sound of the zither followed intermittently, without a melody, occasionally mixed with the harsh sound of the sword's blade cutting on the jade, mixed with the thunderous killing sounds all around, it was simply weird to.

Just when everyone was tortured by the chaotic and noisy music, suddenly a clear melody of Yaoqin came from afar, gentle and soft, although the sound was not loud, it was like the tide of the blue sea under a moonlit night, soft but able to overcome rigidity , swept over unstoppably, instantly suppressing all noises.

Yi Ze raised his eyebrows slightly: "Mr. Shang Lu, it's just in time."

Her voice was not loud, but the player who played the qin could hear clearly, before anyone appeared, the voice came: "Little girl, this harp is given to you, it is really a treasure. Let's listen to this old man's song!"

When the last word was uttered, the originally peaceful tune took a sharp turn, and the ordinary Yaoqin was played by the man with the sound of gold and iron killing. It only took two or three verses, and the heart was shaking, and the true energy was disordered. After hearing this, the members of the Qionghua Sect who were less powerful, their blood flowed retrogradely, and couldn't help vomiting blood from their mouths, while those with more powerful martial arts also felt desolate and hopeless in their hearts, and put down their long swords in a daze, as if they were waiting to die, even Yun Tianqing After listening, the moves in his hands are also slow.Yi Ze saw the opportunity, jumped into the air, and stepped up to the lotus high platform lightly and skillfully. At the fifth command office, the sound of the harp was like a silver bottle suddenly breaking, and it sang together with the Yaoqin in the distance. The stone array was shaken violently, causing countless colored glazes to sway, and the entire mountain was reflected like a god and demon in another world.

Then everyone woke up like a dream, and shouted: "Quick! Go find that evildoer playing the piano!" While trying to resist the music, they ran around to find the source.But the sound of the qin fluctuates up and down, forwards and backwards, without a fixed direction, sometimes as thin as a line, and sometimes coming from all directions. At that time, I don’t know how many Yaoqins are playing in unison. The terrifying and fierce aura was overwhelming, as if a thousand troops were coming, and the so-called Mr. Shanglu was naturally hidden in it.

In this room, Yun Tianqing turned over, followed by Yi Ze onto the lotus platform, both of them were excellent in lightness kung fu, everyone under the Juanyun platform was about to come to help, but how could they catch up with these two figures who were like wind and lightning .And once Yi Ze escaped from Yun Tianqing's obstruction, how could he continue to pester him?I can't help but give in, and the strings in my hands are more urgent.The music of the harp became clearer and clearer, and the rainbow light in the sky flickered on and off. Every spirit stone trembled crazily and made a sharp and crisp sound that was about to collapse, which made people have a splitting headache.

Yun Tianqing gritted his teeth, and with the wind under his feet, he rushed forward, using the wind spirit technique, Immortal Fengyun Body, to the extreme.Yi saw that he still had such terrifying explosive power after fighting with her for a long time, she couldn't help but turn pale with fright, all her attention was on the music at the moment, in the blink of an eye, Yun Tianqing was already approaching her, Yi couldn't dodge it, and only Her five fingers flipped, and amidst the sudden uplifting music, the strings under her palm stretched out, turning into a series of bright silver steel needles, soaked in the blood from her fingertips, piercing straight towards her with force.Unexpectedly, Yun Tianqing didn't dodge or dodge, he slapped out his palms hard, only heard a loud crack, the string broke and the jade shattered, and the sound of the piano was absolutely perfect!

Yi was hit and flew straight out, falling heavily into the dust, a burst of purple light flashed all over his body, and his slender body turned into a black monster.At the same time, the spirit stones all over the sky suddenly collapsed in an instant, hitting the ground with a clanging sound, mixed with the screams of the guarding disciples, as if the whole world was raining heavily.

In the rain of crushed stones like bead curtains, Yun Tianqing let out a miserable laugh, pulled out the steel strings pierced into his right chest one by one, and threw them on the white jade steps, and the scarlet blood also meandered and dripped down, staining the eyes in a blink of an eye. Half of the shirt was through.He reluctantly took two steps forward, then finally wobbled and fell to the ground.

The Lingshi formation was destroyed in an instant. Xuan Xiao and Su Yu, who had sat cross-legged on the ground for a few days and had no sense of external changes, suddenly opened their eyes. After seeing the situation in front of them clearly, they exclaimed together : "Azure!"

***

"Brother!"

"The spirit stone enchantment has been broken, how can this be good!"

"The head and the others haven't withdrawn from the demon world, could it be that something has changed?!"

"The monster rushed over the Juanyuntai and went to the Taiyi Palace!"

"The guards of the Five Spirits Sword Pavilion are here to report! Demons have appeared in the Water Spirit Pavilion!"

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother Xuan Zhen, let's go back quickly..."

There were countless voices in his ears, someone was calling his name, but he couldn't hear anything.Everything in the world seems to be like a nightmare, losing all sound, only the black undercurrent, like lava gushing from the depths of hell, pouring down silently, devouring the land of the Nine Heavens Profound Girl. The land that draws the formation and protects it personally.

He closed his eyes fiercely, and when he opened them again, his sanity was finally clear, and the sound of shouting suddenly poured into his mind, and his body was shaken by the invisible torrent.He stood leaning on his sword, gritted his teeth word by word, and said, "No one is allowed to retreat without authorization! I swear to guard the back mountain!"

"Eldest brother, if we don't withdraw, we will all end up here today—"

"Where are you going?! Could it be that you want to lure the monsters to the front mountain!"

"Wait for the sect master and the elders to arrive, what do you have to worry about this mere demon? Could it be that the second and third generation disciples of Qianshan are fate, and we should not lose our lives! Anyone who wants to live, come with me!"

Xuan Zhen turned his head and glared at the speaker, only to see that in mid-air, Xuan Tai and Xuan Yi had already quickly gathered a dozen or so disciples, Yu Jian galloped towards Qianshan Jian Wuping.Behind him, countless winged monsters smelled the blood of the same race on the sword, and the dark clouds also flew up into the sky to catch up.

Everyone who stayed on the ground exclaimed: "Be careful behind your back!"

Xuantai turned around when he heard the words, but there was darkness in front of his eyes, and a red-eyed monster rushed forward, with its sharp claws deeply embedded in his shoulders, poor Xuantai was bitten off before he could utter a miserable cry On the neck, the blood red is scattered like rain under the sunny sun!

Such a tragic situation made a group of people feel cold all over their bodies, some had their eyes tearing apart, some screamed out of their voices, and some were so frightened that they fell to the ground and trembled.Xuan Zhen gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, feeling bitter and bloody in his mouth.He took a deep breath and sternly shouted: "Everyone can see clearly, now that the demons are completely freed, and the enemy is outnumbered, if we all work together, we may still be able to fight! If we ignore the Qionghua faction and flee without authorization, we will end up with nothing but in this way!"

After a short period of dead silence, a burst of shouts broke out from the crowd, squeezed out from the chest, in this predicament that could not be escaped, it seemed so desolate: "That's right! There is no fear of death! Those who escape are cowards!"

"Disciple of Qionghua, live and die with Qionghua faction!"

"Swear to destroy the demons and avenge the brothers who died in battle!"

"Killing one more demon is one step closer to my Qionghua sect's ascension to immortality!"

In the midst of shouts, Xuan Zhen laughed loudly: "Good brother!" With the long sword in his hand reflecting the scorching sun, he took the lead in rushing into the undercurrent formed by the demons.Deep down in my heart, there was a thousand knives stirring together, and the pain was unbearable.

At this moment, he understands better than anyone else that now, the more than 100 brothers from the same sect who are staying behind in the back mountain, this is the only solitary army that resists the monsters, what they are rushing to is a fatal slaughter.

Non-refundable!Just because besides a natural danger, it is the disciple of the weakest younger generation in the sect, if this ferocious demon is attracted to step into the front mountain, there may be no living person left in the entire Kunlun Holy Land.

No need to retreat!Because of the disparity in strength, without the check and balance of the spirit stone barrier, the demon who broke free from the shackles vowed to retaliate wildly and wantonly. There is no difference between the ending of retreating or not retreating.

Do not want to retreat!Because there is no news about the large number of brothers who have gone deep into the illusion world, if the last drop of blood can be exchanged for them to withdraw safely, then even if they die, why not be afraid!

It's just that years of fellowship and friendship for several years have really come to an end?

The simple long-cherished wish at the beginning, the wish to touch the heaven with the hands of mortals, how could it evolve into such an unmanageable situation now!Is it wrong to ascend with two swords, is it wrong to bind another world with a net, is it wrong to exterminate demons, people are good and evil, punish evil and promote good, Qionghua's teachings for many years, why, why, why can't answer any questions!

Master Zonglian, you once said that people are alive, but swords are dead. How can a living person be dominated by a dead thing?

But now, who violated the taboo, who provoked the dispute, who provoked the desire, who is the one who dominates this battle?Is it a demon?Is it a sword?Or life?

Don't understand, don't think about it, don't look back!

The jade is broken and the palace is dumped, and the blood is splashed on the stone level.Yesterday's Holy Land of Purification, Today's Shura Purgatory!

The companions around him fell to the ground one by one, and the defense line made of flesh and blood became thinner every time they took a step back.Both legs have long been numb, arms are so painful that they are about to break, a heart is wounded with thousands of holes, and a sword cuts it out, staggering and unable to hold back, the vision is blurred, only the intertwining of blood red and darkness remains, but as long as there is still one With the tone, this sword cannot be put down!

Another group of monsters surrounded him, Xuan Zhen took half a step back, but there was nothing under his feet, looking back, it turned out to be a cliff.And beside him, looking around, he was the only one left alone.

There are continuous snow peaks, and the front mountain of Qionghua School can be seen far away from here.A Duxian Bridge, which flickered in the clouds and smoke, was the only channel connecting the front mountain and the back mountain of the Qionghua School. At this time, countless dark monsters also surged up on the bridge.

But Xuan Zhen was not panicked in his heart, because across a natural barrier, there was a figure, commanding and dispatching all the disciples calmly, standing in front of Jianwuping, while the man himself was holding a sword in his hand. With a long sword, one sword after another, slashed fiercely at the Duxian Bridge.As the bridge broke apart, the monsters on the bridge howled and fell into the abyss.

Let you grow wings on your back, so what!Could it be compared to the disciples of cultivators who are riding the wind with swords!

As long as Xuanji is around, Qionghua Qianshan doesn't need to worry about anything, don't be reckless, don't act rashly, don't hurt anyone, don't worry.

As long as Xuan Zhen is around, everyone in Qionghua Back Mountain will fight to the last moment without fear of life and death, without losing their integrity.

They never talk to each other with words, he understands, and he also understands.

Xuan Zhen's mind was empty, but his heart was extremely calm, and he slowly opened the corners of his chapped lips.

... There are some truths that you can't figure out in this life, so it's better to leave them for the next life.

The blood-soaked hand loosened slightly, and suddenly, a person shouted from a distance:

"Big Brother!"

A sound like thunder resounded in my ears!He clenched his sword tightly and raised his head. In his blurred vision, monster beasts were roaring all around, waving their sharp claws and showing their fangs at a white figure, but the man didn't care, just flew towards him.

On the back mountain, besides him, there are still people alive!

Xuan Zhen seemed to gain strength again in his whole body. With a kick, he rushed straight towards the man like an arrow off the string, took the man's arm, rolled on the spot, aimed at a rock, hid behind it, and threw the sword with his backhand. , Bright light, several monsters were pierced one after another, howling and rolling down the cliff.

The long sword was out of his hand, and he fell to the ground, unable to stand up anymore.In this life, it seems that I have never been so tired as I am now.

Noisy footsteps sounded from behind the rock again, and several monster beasts patrolled over, and then gradually moved away.

It wasn't until all the sound disappeared that he smiled reassuringly and looked deeply at that person: "Suxi..."

Su Xi knelt on the ground, but supported his shoulders with both hands, gritted her teeth tightly, and said nothing.

Xuan Zhen laughed again, coughing up blood foam from the corner of his lips: "You are always disobedient..."

"I will definitely, definitely listen to you in the future..."

"……it is good."

"Eldest brother...!"

"……Um?"

Su Xi raised his head and looked in the direction of Juan Yuntai, his empty eyes gradually became tinged with surprise: "Look, it's Senior Brother Xuan Xiao and Senior Sister Su Yu! With the two of them taking action, we will all be saved! And over there, over there, have the sect masters withdrew from the demon world?"

Xuan Zhen raised his head reluctantly, and in his eyes that were about to slacken, he could only see a blurred area, such gorgeous blue and red, dyed the entire sky.At that moment, he suddenly felt extremely panicked, but with all his strength, he could only move his lips slightly: "No, there is no enchantment, the two swords—"

After that, I will never, never be able to say it.

There was a slight sinking between Su Xi's hands.

She stared blankly at his face, knelt on the spot motionless, not daring to move, as if if she moved, the nightmare would come true, and she would never wake up again.

The noon sun was so bright, shining on her and him.

The time of that moment is the longest, and the time of that moment is the shortest.With a flick of a finger, the ground is like flowers and beauties withering all over the ground, and in an instant, the three-foot green tip is turned into powder, and life is a foregone conclusion from now on.

After a long time, she said very softly again: "Brother, you are saved. Let's go back to Jianwuping together."

***

In the Qionghua Yunjing Pavilion, there is a secret volume recorded as follows:

Daoyin, the sub-ancestor of this school, used the amazing talent to comprehend the secret method of using the combined power of Yin and Yang swords to bring the whole school to ascend to immortality. With the power of three generations, he finally became the two swords of Xihe and Wangshu.

And this method of ascension, if not supplemented by strong spiritual power, is beyond the reach of personal hard work.Fortunately, the real person has far-reaching thoughts. When he was observing the stars, he once occupied a different place, and his spiritual power is extremely abundant, which can be used by our school.

When the time is right, disciples Xuan Xiao and Su Yu are both excellent in aptitude, so they are selected as the host body of the double swords.

After three years of history, it happened that the other world came again with 19 years as a week.The power of the two swords combined to bind him in a net to attract great spiritual power.However, this world is occupied by monsters, and it is not easy to fight.The faction fought hard against them, causing a protracted and tragic war.

In the 25th year of the Taichu calendar, on the night of June 150, the two sides fought in Juanyuntai for the first time, and the truce ended on June [-]. There were more than [-] martyrs, including Xin He, elder of Suwu, Jing Wei, elder of Shenxing, and Xuan Zhen, deacon of Chengtian. , Suyi, the deacon of Jingge, and Xuanzhi, the deacon of Wuling.

On the 28th of the same month——

In the darkness, Yun Tianqing slowly opened his eyes.

In the blurred vision is the magnified face of the girl.He opened his mouth, and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, a few drops of cold water dripped on his face.

He opened the corner of his mouth and asked, "Suxin, what's wrong?"

Su Xin covered her face with her hands, her voice was muffled and trembling: "Senior Brother Tianqing, you can count—"

After only a few words, he was coldly interrupted by a person: "Don't cry."

Su Xin stood up suddenly, and wiped her face with the back of her hand: "Who's crying!" But her voice was choked up, stopped for a while, and suddenly ran a few steps, opened the wooden door with a clatter, and rushed out.

The evening wind of early summer gently blows in through the half-opened door, blowing away the bloody smell in the room. Yun Tianqing looks around in a daze, and sees herself in a corner of the medicine hut, sitting or lying beside her. The same door in the same room.Turning his gaze again, it happened to meet Xuanji's eyes.

"How long have I slept?"

"Three days."

He got up abruptly, but his chest felt a tearing pain, so he had to lie down again frowning.

Xuanji's voice was flat and numb: "Don't worry, the monster has retreated for the time being."

Only then did Yun Tianqing feel relieved, let out a long breath, suddenly felt a chill in his head, and asked quickly: "The barrier set by Uncle Zong Lian has been broken, is it really all right?!"

"It should be fine."

Yun Tianqing looked up at the zenith, and then asked word by word: "Senior brother Xuanji, what happened?"

Xuanji looked at the candlelight by his side and was silent for a moment before he replied: "That day when the spirit stone formation broke and the power of demons lost its balance, all the brothers and sisters I sent to stay at the back mountain were martyred. Fortunately, Junior Brother Xuanxiao and Junior Sister Suyu also died because of this. When you wake up, join up with the sect masters and elders who retreated from the demon world, and work together to repel the demons. You—— were also rescued by the two of them. However, due to the superpower of the two swords and the loss of the suppression of the spirit stone, Now Elder Zong Lian is personally defending the formation on Juan Yuntai."

In a few words, all kinds of thrilling changes in the past few days were brought over, and it was an understatement, which had nothing to do with him.While Yun Tianqing listened, his heart slowly fell into the abyss, his body and limbs were all stiff for a moment, as if he didn't belong to him long ago.On the cheeks, the tears that Su Xin had dripped earlier were not yet dry, she opened her mouth, her mouth was full of bitterness, her voice was hoarse and out of tune:

"It's me, one step late."

"You don't have to blame yourself. The situation that day was like this. If someone else would have done better than you." Xuanji smiled slightly, but that smile was more desolate than the expression of sorrow.

"Then, Senior Brother Xuan Zhen and the others..."

"Not anymore."

"Xuan Tai, Xuan Fou, Xuan Zhen, Su Yi, Su Xi, Ming Heng—"

"Junior Brother Yun." Xuan Ji didn't move, just lowered his eyes.

Thus, Yun Tianqing stopped abruptly, and the whole medicine hut fell silent.

After a while, Yun Tianqing struggled to sit up, put on his long clothes, and walked out step by step.And Xuanji didn't stop him, let alone answer, just took the medicine from the shelf, and walked towards a seriously injured fellow disciple.

The dead are dead, and the doctor can only heal the living.

Outside the door, twilight was about to fall, and a blood-red sunset hung half-dead on the top of the mountain, reflecting the huge Qionghua faction as if it was soaked in a pool of thick blood.

At the very end of Jianwuping, there is a figure sitting, looking from a distance, it looks so lonely, with a pair of feet swinging on the edge of the cliff, as if it is going to ride the wind to go back anytime, anywhere.

Yun Tianqing walked to her side and sat down.

Su Xin didn't look at him, but said slowly: "Brother Tian Qing, don't be too sad."

After Yun Tianqing heard this, even though his heart was heavy, he couldn't help but smile.Why, he is a majestic hero, but now he is going to be comforted by a little girl instead.

Su Xin stretched out her hand and pointed: "Back then, I was taken up the mountain by Senior Brother Xuan Ji. The first pass of the entry test was this Duxian Bridge."

Yun Tianqing followed her gaze and turned her head. On the edge of the cliff, there was no longer an immortal bridge, only a few iron locks, connected to two or three wooden planks, swaying pitifully in the wind.He was startled, and asked in a hurry: "What's going on?" After saying a word, he already understood three points in his heart.

Su Xin spoke softly again, rather than speaking to Yun Tianqing, it was more like muttering to herself:

"At that time, the monsters had already reached the other side. Brother Xuanji told all the juniors and nephews who had swords in their hands, even if they had only learned swords for a day, to form a sword array according to his arrangement. I thought at the time He rushed to the opposite side to help, but the senior brother refused to say anything. He said, if we pass by, who will guard the sword dance floor? Who will protect the fellow who has just started and doesn't even know a little bit of martial arts? So we can only Watching helplessly as my classmates fall down one by one."

Yun Tianqing went to look at Su Xin, and the bloody sunset was reflected in her eyes, as if a dark fire was burning in her eyes, burning away all the tears.Before, just because he woke up, she cried with joy, but at this moment, when talking about the changes of the past few days, she has no more tears to shed.

Su Xin was stunned for a while, then continued: "Later, Senior Brother Xuan Ji drew out his sword and cut off the iron locks on the bridge. When the bridge broke, the sword also broke, and the tiger's mouth was shaken to the point that it was covered in blood. Someone Shouting in fright, "Uncle Master, it's not good to break a sword", but he laughed and said, "It's good to break it. Anyway, the person who made the sword probably won't come back. I don't like others who forged it. I just don't use swords in the future." stop'……"

Yun Tianqing said: "Yes, once the bridge is broken, even if the monster can fly over the natural danger with its wings, it must be exhausted and it will not be difficult to resist. But our fellow brothers, after a big battle, it will be difficult to come back. "

At that time, some people stayed on the edge of the cliff to shed their last drop of blood, and some people dragged their tired bodies and wanted to escape back to the front mountain, but fell into the abyss on the way.At the forefront of the unstoppable dark tide, the last white shadow was slowly and cruelly swallowed up.That killing sound, that roar, was transmitted clearly across a cliff, forever and ever, engraved on the hearts of everyone who stayed behind in Qianshan, and they will never forget it throughout their lives.

Those pictures flew past Su Xin's heart like silent snowflakes, she smiled very faintly: "That's the result. So, Senior Brother Tianqing, you don't have to blame yourself, I only know now that many things, One more person, one less person, it doesn’t make any difference whoever does it. Maybe this is the so-called fixed number, and it cannot be changed. I thought at the time, as long as you can still wake up, if there is one more person from the Qionghua faction alive, then It couldn't be better."

Yun Tianqing was silent.

Life and death are in your hands, change from your heart, the sky cannot be broken, the earth cannot be buried, my life is up to me, not up to the sky.

Really?Or, just a rant?

I don't understand, I can't think, this life, more than [-] years in a hurry, first entered the rivers and lakes, and then entered Qionghua, with a sword in hand, what do you know in your heart?

All of this is today, where is the original source?Is it from the moment when Xuan Xiao and Suyu entered the gate, from the moment when they stepped into the Taiyi Palace, from the moment when they took over the Hanguang Sword and Ji Jianjian, or from the moment when the three of them passed hand in hand together from the moment?

Or go back three generations, travel through a hundred years, from the moment when the peerless genius Daoyin Daoyin watched the starry sky at night and a flash of light flashed in his mind, the present, today, this situation, this scene is doomed.

A gust of wind passed by, the water flowed continuously, and amidst the sound of the rumbling waterfall on the other side, someone could faintly hear a loud laugh. It’s very good, this test is over, come with me.When I listened carefully again, there was no sound at all.

Su Xin seemed to be completely immersed in the memory, closed her eyes, and murmured: "There was also the Yuanchen Festival of that year, we climbed the wall to watch the grand ceremony together, but we were discovered, do you remember?"

Yun Tianqing thought, remember, why don't you remember, these years, these years, every smallest detail is remembered.The old days were so beautiful, and a random piece of it is a memory that is as crystal clear as flowing spring jade.

It's just that at the end of this year, will there still be a grand ceremony to worship the heavens? How many people are left who were busy copying name stickers together, and those who were drinking together in the shade of drunken flowers and enjoying fireworks?Five years ago, when he and Xuan Xiao walked across the Duxian Bridge hand in hand, trembling like a puppet, how could he have thought that this day would come.

Dusk has gradually sunk behind the mountain.The front mountain side is intact, and the tall Nine Heavens Xuannv Statue still stands silently under the last sunset, looking down on her disciples in the world for many years, all the mortal beings.Is it pity or sarcasm in the half-closed beautiful eyes?

Yun Tianqing stood up, patted Su Xin on the shoulder, and then raised his arm, Cheng Ying Sword was already in his palm, Yu Jian rode the wind, crossed the natural barrier, and set foot on the back mountain.

Su Xin caught up with him and landed beside him: "You are seriously injured, it's better to go back to the medicine hut to recuperate."

"It's okay, I'm just going to Juuntai to have a look."

"Then... I'll go with you."

Yun Tianqing nodded slightly, and the two walked side by side, but they saw that the pillars of the palace were all broken, the stone steps to the sky collapsed, and the ground under their feet was scorched earth, a dull ocher brown, covering the ground one after another, and the body was full of blood. Yes, it is the bloody smell that cannot be blown away even by the most powerful gale in Kunlun.

Whose blood are those?

They are all destined to go to the underworld, their souls have returned to the underworld, who they were in the previous life, who is right and who is wrong, whether they are human or demon, they cannot be separated for a long time.

There was a scream of a monster in the distance, in the bleak twilight, it was creepy to hear.Yun Tianqing gasped, and hurriedly ran following the sound, just as he saw a Qionghua disciple raise a sword in his hand, nailing a young monster about a foot long to the ground, blood splattered everywhere, the monster Moaning and twitching unceasingly, it instantly turned into a cloud of purple smoke.

The man snorted, his voice was filled with extreme grief, and he couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing. When he drew his sword and turned around, the light of the first half moon was shining on his face, half of his face was stained with blood, even Hearing the approaching footsteps of Yun Tianqing and Su Xin, like a frightened bird, he retreated a few steps, but threw the sword in his hand viciously.

Yun Tianqing saw it clearly, pushed the sword away, and called out loudly: "Yuan Yi, it's me!"

And Yuan Yi seemed to have been insane for a long time, and rushed forward like a mad tiger, hissing: "Monster! You killed my senior brother and Elder Jingwei, take your life!"

Su Xin jumped up, turned to his back lightly, and pressed his hands: "Yuan Yi, it's all right, there are no monsters here now, don't worry."

Yuan Yi didn't listen, and struggled several times, but his skill was not as strong as Su Xin, so he couldn't break free no matter what, so he had to turn his head viciously, staring at her with bloodshot eyes.Su Xin was horrified by the look, but Yun Tianqing made a decisive decision and stretched out his palms on the back of his neck, Yuan Yi's body finally collapsed in response.

Among the ruined walls, there was a dead silence again, but upon listening carefully, there was a faint whimpering sound in the wind, as if countless Qionghua disciples were moaning in pain, more like a dying beast whining in a low voice .

Yun Tianqing took a long breath: "Uncle Jingwei also..."

Su Xin half-kneeled on the ground, put her arms around the young man who was not as young as the weak crown, and said with her head down: "At that time, Master was busy treating the wounded, so she didn't pay attention to what was behind her, and it turned out..."

Yun Tianqing listened to Su Xin's slow narration, and gradually a sense of absurdity and unreality arose in his heart—those people, those people who were still alive a few days ago and who were chatting and joking in front of him, were now one by one. The earth has become a pile of loess, separated by yin and yang, going to the sky and entering the earth, and can't be found again.

Whether the dream was too short or the nightmare was too long, whether he was awake or asleep, he couldn't tell the difference.

After a while, he heard himself say in a wooden voice: "Suxin, take Yuan Yi back to Jianwuping first."

Su Xin stood up and looked at him: "Brother Tianqing, then you have to be more careful. Although the monsters have withdrawn temporarily, in the past few days, conflicts of all kinds have never stopped. If anything happens to you, I……"

Yun Tianqing nodded silently, turned her back, faced the rising moon, and walked step by step in the direction of Juanyuntai.

That month, in the bloody night of Asura, who could not see the edge, it seemed to be soaked with murderous aura, and it was like a crimson sickle lying horizontally in the air.

Many years ago, the moonlight was like water, and the water was like moonlight.

Many years later, the same clear early summer night, the same Qionghua moon, but the moonlight is better than the blood, and the blood reflects the moonlight.

Along the way, as Su Xin said, the wandering monsters swarmed madly when they saw Qionghua disciple, and the monsters who were left alone could not escape the fate of becoming undead under the sword. Forget all about what you are fighting for.It's ridiculous to punish evil and promote good, and to eliminate demons and defend morality!Excuse!I just remember that the lives of my loved ones were taken away, I just remember that more and more amethyst stones piled up, the sword pillar got higher and higher, and the ascension got closer and closer.

But, what is lost, can it be regained?Can what you get really make up for what is long gone?His hands were stained red, and he used other people's skeletons to build a ladder leading to heaven. With such a heavy body soaked in blood, could he still ascend to heaven in one step?No one thinks about it anymore, no one wants to think about it anymore, just take one step, just one step.

Yun Tianqing took care of a few quarrels, and when he arrived at Juanyuntai, the clothes behind him were sticky and wet again, and the injury seemed to be split open. He didn't feel any pain, so he didn't care at all.

Looking at the past, the grand scene in the past is no longer there, and the disciples are divided into twos and threes, which is completely out of order.Under the lotus platform, the head of the sect Taiqing, the elders Chongguang, Zonglian, Qingyang, and Suyao, the deacon of the Ministry of Rites, are forming a magic circle to personally guard the two swords.But in just ten days, the Qionghua faction's worthy masters were damaged and withered to such an extent.

As if overnight, the head of the Taiqing had aged more than ten years. His once immortal demeanor was replaced by his current white beard and hair, which made him look haggard.Raising his eyes to see Yun Tianqing, Taiqing's eyes showed a slight joy
