Five years later.

A five or six-year-old child struggled to climb up the steep slope. Autumn was coming to an end, and the weather was getting colder. The child was wrapped in a thin padded jacket, and his chubby body was struggling to move forward in the dense forest.

Tired of climbing, the little boy climbed up a slope with hands and feet, his clothes were wrinkled and wrinkled, like a little bear that hasn't grown up yet.

Zhou Ce was so funny, he put a hand on his buttocks, and the little boy immediately took advantage of the momentum to climb up, and finally looked at Zhou Ce honestly, and said foolishly, "Thank you, Third Senior Brother."

Zhou Ce nodded, looked around, and said, "It's almost nearby, let's look for it separately, don't go too far, and don't get close to the cliff, you know?"

The little boy nodded his head half understanding, twisting his clothes nervously.

Zhou Ce smiled: "Okay, don't be afraid, just call me if you need anything, I'll be nearby where I can see you."

The little boy tilted his head to look at Zhou Ce, and said softly, "If you shout, will the ginseng doll run away?"

Zhou Ce raised his eyebrows and teased him with a smile: "It's okay, it can't run as fast as the third brother."

Xiaotong looked at Zhou Ce with admiration.

This is a relatively remote place in the back mountain. It is already close to the North Mountain Cliff. You can clearly see the edge of the North Mountain Cliff from an open place, but in fact there is still a long distance from here to the Chain Bridge.

Although Xiaotong was young, he was very courageous. Zhou Ce said that he would split up, but he was not afraid. He looked like an old god, turned around and searched for ginseng on the ground.

Seeing him as a fool, Zhou Ce didn't expect to be able to help him. Now that the younger generation of Xishan School have grown up, this kid doesn't even have a playmate, so if he can play with him, just take him with him.

In the past few years, many things have happened in the Jianghu, and the open and secret struggles among many sects have become fierce. Among them, the matter of Murong Lianhe's conversion to the Guiying Sect is the most frightening. The Central Plains Wulin was shocked and chaotic. Since then, the rivers and lakes have become a mess, and many young people take advantage of the chaos to act as monsters and take advantage of the fire to loot.

A group of decent sects jointly elected Qingshan faction Wen Shanhua as the new leader of the martial arts. Wen Shanhua's martial arts is profound, and his character is expected by everyone.

Wen Shanhua wanted to lead many sects to encircle and suppress Murong Lianhe, but Murong Lianhe was scheming and scheming, and disappeared into the rivers and lakes without a sound, disappearing together with the Ghost Shadow Sect.

Everyone knew that the disappearance of Ghost Shadow Cult did not herald the end of chaos, but a more massive disaster was approaching.

In the next few years, all the martial arts masters practiced in seclusion, and the battle between good and evil was on the verge of breaking out.

Zhou Ce felt very sad when he thought of the situation of the Xishan School in the past few years. The senior brother left the Xishan School after he became a teacher, and now he does not know where he is. After several years of practicing swords, he seemed to be a different person, and he was full of worries all day long.

Although the master looked the same on the surface, he always smiled less. Sometimes he was often seen staring in the direction of the North Cliff in a daze, with unspeakable worries in his eyes.However, Master Su fell into a slump after Sun Lifeng's incident, and the disciples of the two factions became more and more tense, and the atmosphere was delicate.

Zhou Ce smiled wryly as he watched the little boy earnestly looking for ginseng. After all, you, the little one, had a good time.

Little Tong didn't know that Zhou Ce had thought so much, and he was looking very seriously with his back bent and his buttocks pouted.

There are countless rare treasures in the Xishan School, but ginseng is not something that can be seen everywhere. The boy searched for it for a while but did not see any sign of ginseng. In a panic, he thought that the ginseng doll had been scared away by him. On the ground, wept uncomfortably.

The little boy stopped crying for a while, wiped away his tears, and was about to go back to find Sun Ce, when he suddenly realized that the place in front of him was no longer the place just now, and he walked away without paying attention.

There was a cliff in front of him, and he might be about to fall a few steps forward, the little boy shrank his body in fear, scrambled and crawled back, and shouted in a soft voice: "Third Senior Brother~ Third Senior Brother~ "

The little boy wrinkled his face anxiously, stepped on a few gravels when he stepped back, slipped and slid down the cliff.With two hands grabbing the things around him indiscriminately, half of his body has fallen outside.

The little boy was holding a branch that was almost broken with both hands, his toes were stuck in the gap, and he barely managed to stabilize his falling momentum.

He looked down at the bottom of the vast cliff, and burst into tears with a "wow".

Just when he was crying so hard, he felt a force pulling himself down, so he grabbed the branch even harder and almost cut it off.

"Let go." A soft voice sounded beside my ear, as if it came from a distant mist, ethereal and ethereal.

The little boy turned his head to look, and subconsciously let go of his hands. Before he saw the face of the visitor, he felt that the world was spinning for a while, and there was only a hazy white in front of him.

Countless larks rushed to the sky in unison, making loud and clear chirping sounds.

The little boy came back to his senses and found himself sitting firmly on the grass.

He looked up, and saw the person in white clothes against the light, and the breeze blew his long hair like waterfalls like ink, and he was immersed in the poetic and picturesque atmosphere.

In the beautiful scenery, thousands of larks flew behind him, and their melodious chirping sounds were like a spring.

"Are you the fairy who came to save me?" the little boy asked cautiously.

Jing Ji took a step forward with a gentle and friendly smile.

Three years ago, he was able to open the door of the stone chamber, cross the iron chain bridge and leave the North Cliff. However, he knew that he still had a lot to learn, and he could not deal with the Ghost Venerable with that little skill alone.

The brief separation is only for the long-term reunion one day, when he can truly protect everything around him. When he is enduring endless loneliness, others are enduring suffering and torture.

The endless night can't change his hope for the dawn. He walks alone through the thorns and the sea of ​​fire, becoming strong and forbearing. One day he will stand in front of the world, tear away the shadows, and bring fairness and justice back to the world. Rivers and lakes.

"Then who are you?" Jing Ji walked out of the backlight and stopped in front of the little boy.

"My name is Feng Cheng, and I'm Master's little apprentice, Brother Immortal, you look so good-looking."

Jing Ji pursed his lips and smiled slightly, "Do you know what good-looking is? Who is your master?"

Feng Cheng tilted his head in some embarrassment, and said, "Master is called Master... He is the head of our Xishan Sect. Brother Shenxian, do you know my master?"

"I'm not a god, I'm your second senior brother."

"Oh, second senior brother, have you become a fairy yet?"

Jing Ji patted his forehead dumbfounded, and asked with a smile, "What are you doing here?"

Feng Cheng flattened his lips aggrievedly, rubbed his head and said, "Xu Dashan's mother is sick, he asked Master for ginseng, and Master asked me and third senior brother to look for ginseng, second senior brother, do you think the ginseng doll is real?" will run."

Jing Ji thought for a while, then nodded seriously, "I can run, that's what my master told me when I was young."

Feng Cheng looked at him pitifully, and cried in his voice: "Then I can't find ginseng, I can't run away from him, and the third senior brother is gone."

"It's okay, I'll help you find it." Jing Ji stretched out his hand to him, "Get up."

Feng Cheng stood up, wiped his hands on his clothes with some embarrassment, then put them into Jing Ji's hands, and let him lead him.

The two walked aimlessly for a while, and from a distance, Zhou Ce ran over in a panic, holding a ginseng plant in his hand.

"Where are you running...Second Senior Brother..." Zhou Ce's eyes turned red in disbelief, and he looked at Jing Ji's smiling face with sobs.

"You deserve a beating." Zhou Ce cursed and hugged Jing Ji.

Jing Ji patted him on the back with a smile, and teased him: "Okay, okay, second senior brother coaxed you, don't cry."

Zhou Ce let go of him and glared at him: "I will take advantage of me."

"And you, didn't you tell you not to run around? How did you promise me?" Zhou Ce pointed at Feng Cheng and began to scold, so scared that he quickly hid behind Jing Ji.

Jing Ji leaned close to Zhou Ce's ear and whispered, "Stop scolding him, he peed his pants."

Zhou Ce: "..."

Feng Cheng didn't know that he was found out about peeing his pants, so he stared blankly at the two of them with a look of bewilderment.

Jing Ji said: "Master, where are they? Are you okay?"

Zhou Ce sighed: "Master went to see Xu Shanren's mother, and asked me to pick ginseng and send it to him. Eldest brother left his teacher three years ago, and if he wants to venture into the rivers and lakes, master agrees." He said, There is an unavoidable sense of loneliness in his tone.

"how about you?"

Zhou Ce glared at Jing Ji and scolded, "What about me? I've stayed in Xishan School all my life. Even if I die, I'll die here."

Jing Ji smiled and hugged him, and said softly, "Good boy."

Zhou Ce pushed him away with a dark face, "You're a coward, and you're still taking advantage of me! Come with me to see Master, he's going crazy thinking about you these few years."

"Didn't you just say that Master is very good?"

Zhou Ce was so angry: "You have said everything, go away." After he finished speaking, he hugged Feng Cheng in disgust, and the two speeded up and disappeared into the back mountain.

"My old mother may really be dying this time. I can only live one more day." Xu Dashan sighed and wiped a little water from the corner of his eyes. Good ginseng, I'm sorry to bother you to come and see her."

"This statement is wrong. Master Xu has great blessings, and God will definitely bless Lingtang. If you can regain your soul after eating ginseng, it would be a good thing." Liu Muyan said with a smile, "Don't mind waiting for small things, just take care of yourself." Taking care of Ling Tang is the top priority.”

"I have borrowed a good word from Sect Master Liu."

The boy hurried in and said in a panic, "Master, the disciples of the Xishan Sect have brought medicinal materials."

"It's so fast, take the medicinal materials to the kitchen to decoct, and don't forget to invite them in properly." Xu Dashan was in a hurry, and he said to Liu Muyan guiltily after ordering, "I'm neglecting you."

"It's okay, you don't need to entertain us anymore, Mr. Xu, hurry up, I'll take Ce'er back."

Xu Dashan hurriedly stopped him, "Leader Liu, let's go after dinner, I have nothing to thank you, I can only prepare some wine and food to express my heart."

Liu Muyan smiled and said, "Where is it, it's just a matter of raising your hands."

Mr. Xu Dashan was still waiting to say more, but Liu Muyan frowned suddenly, his eyes glanced towards the door, and he rushed out of the door in a flash.

"This..." Xu Dashan was startled, and then hurriedly followed.

Liu Muyan stood in the courtyard with a bitter but relieved smile.

Back then he made up his mind to imprison Jing Ji in Beishan Cliff, and he also went to see him in the first year. At that time, the boy was lying on the ground and fell asleep, curled up in a pitiful ball, and the restless ravings in his sleep seemed extremely injured. The little beast could only silently lick its wounds.

It's not that Liu Muyan doesn't blame himself, but he has to admit that Jing'er has a special status, he can't keep her under his wings forever, and one day Jing'er has to protect herself.

Liu Muyan was filled with emotions. Jing'er had grown taller, and his round face had become thinner, making his eyebrows and big eyes more and more apparent. Now he was standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile on his face.Liu Muyan seemed to still be able to recall his appearance as a child, and ran towards him with a smile on his short legs, crying and begging to be hugged by him.

Jing Ji walked up to him, looked at him half smiling and crying, "Master, I'm back."

Liu Muyan nodded in relief, "Just come back."

Jing Ji's eyes were red, and he stretched out his hand to touch Liu Muyan's face, choked up and said, "Master, you are getting old."

"It's not big or small." Liu Muyan patted his head with a smile, and the sad atmosphere disappeared instantly.

Jing Ji calmed down, but still felt a little uncomfortable.

Liu Muyan fell silent suddenly, looking at Jing Ji quietly.

Jing Ji blinked: "Master...what's wrong with you?"

Liu Muyan frowned in thought, and suddenly he raised his head, "Not good...is the silkworm jade still there?"

Jing Ji nodded: "Yes." He took out the silkworm jade and handed it to Liu Muyan.

Liu Muyan shook his head: "The silkworm jade is invincible, but it is never a sharp weapon to hurt people. It is not enough to deal with Guizun."

Jing Ji looked at him suspiciously.

"Go to Xuanyin Pavilion immediately. You must get there before the seventh day of November." Liu Muyan said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, once the formation is activated, no one will be able to enter."

"What are you going to Xuanyin Pavilion for?"

"Go back to Xishan first, and I will tell you the details." Liu Muyan said, "Since you have left the customs, the situation will become complicated again, Ce'er, I have something for you to do as a teacher, and I will tell you together later. "

Jing Ji and Zhou Ce looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Seeing this, Xu Dashan didn't dare to delay their master and apprentice, so he had to send him out of the house together with his wife.

Before leaving, Liu Muyan said: "If you need anything, send someone to Xishan School to get it. Don't be afraid of trouble. Everything should be done with Lingtang's body first."

"Thank you very much." Mr. Xu Dashan and his wife were honest people, their eyes turned red when they heard the words, and they sent people away with great gratitude.
