Abandoned Immortals

To the north of Dazhu is a wasteland covered with snow all the year round. In the deep part of the wasteland, there are complex terrains. Two high mountains rise into the clouds.

The area marked on the Longmai map is near Beidaoguan.

Beidaoguan has been a military important place since ancient times. It is a natural danger to pass through Beidaoguan.

Going further north from Beidaoguan, there are Han people who live in glaciers and snow fields all the year round.

The Han people are martial, and because of the barren land, they often go into the middle to plunder food and grass. Therefore, Beidaoguan seems to be barbaric and there are few people, but the wars are endless and the disputes are uneven.

For tens of thousands of years, with the change of dynasties, Beidaoguan has been a battleground for military strategists. At the beginning, the Zhenbei Army led by King Zhenbei was stationed near Beidaoguan.

The Zhenbei Army went through life and death, protected the people in the northern border to live and work in peace and contentment, and gathered a lot of people's hearts. Unfortunately, Lord Yanchang was not greedy enough. He went to the Xuan Palace to seek rare treasures, and ended up in a tragic end.

After the death of Lord Yanchang, the Dazhu Dynasty also fell apart. The Zhenbei Army had no leader, and none of the lieutenants accepted the position of others. The Zhenbei Army fought openly and secretly, and finally fell apart.

The former northern lion is now a mess, without the power of the iron armor in the past.

After some generals left the army with their confidants, in order to survive, they became bandits in the northern border. The generals who guarded the northern border and were respected by thousands of people later turned into a cancer in the northern border. Everyone scolded and wished they could live Eat its meat.

The further north you go, the colder the weather will be. After setting foot on the northern ice field, the cold wind blows, and the wasteland is covered with snow all day long. However, even though the environment is so harsh, there are still a few villages scattered here, and many mortals have settled here.

Yu Lianxin's master and apprentice came all the way from the Dongming clan. Although they were on their way, the atmosphere was not serious, and they didn't rush to eat and sleep in the open.

Yu Lianxin had been to many places before when he was wandering between heaven and earth, so he was familiar with the roads and led Que Qingyun to see many wonders in the world.

It took ten days before and after, and Beidaoguan was far away.

The sky was gray and overcast this day. In Beidao, the days were short and the nights were long. Every day before unitary hour, the sky became dark and it entered a long night.

When the night is full of the sky, the temperature will continue to drop. There are few travelers at night. If you are unlucky and encounter a snowstorm, you will almost die.

Of course, such a harsh environment did not have much impact on Yu Lianxin's master and apprentice.

Traveling through the wilderness, they came across a frozen river, followed the river, and encountered a village.

But there is still a little distance from the village, and the cold wind blowing on the face is actually mixed with the scorched smell after the fire.

Yu Lian frowned slightly, her face was ugly.

The two of them, master and apprentice, are quite familiar with this situation. In the past few years, the mortal world has experienced natural disasters, and the mortal world has been devastated. They have seen many scenes of hell on earth, and even buried many mortal bones that no one has collected.

After returning from the Xuan Palace, Yu Lian became kinder to ordinary people, and now seeing such a scene again, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

Que Qingyun sighed: "The farther you go north, the more barren the land will be, and the more chaotic the world will be."

This is already the third mortal village they have seen during this trip that was plundered by bandits and burned to the ground.

Sweeping through the consciousness, it is known that no one survived here.

"After the calamity of Karma, although the situation in the world has improved, it is only superficial. Whether the monster race is coming to the world, the civil strife in the Eastern Ming Dynasty, or this extreme northern land, wars are frequent, disasters have never disappeared, and peace has not really come. .”

As Yu Lian said this, her heart was heavy. She looked at the village in the distance where the fire had not been extinguished, and it was rare for her to fall into thought.

After driving away the demon clan, will peace come?

Tens of thousands of years ago, Immortal Venerable Xuanying defeated the demon army and sealed the demon commander Ming'e in Dingxu. After tens of thousands of years, the human world may not be so prosperous.

Droughts, floods, and plagues come as scheduled every year, and people continue to die in disasters.

These seemingly impossible and unstoppable natural disasters take away countless innocent lives year after year.

When will this endless disaster come to an end?

"People have good and evil, and good and evil are mostly just a thought." Que Qingyun looked at her sideways, with a calm voice, "As practitioners, we are more concerned with the overall situation. We cannot and do not need to cover everything."

"We are unable to control personal grievances, love and vendetta are competing for interests, and even each is his own master. The two armies are at war, and the bones are piled up."

"But inside and outside the mountains and rivers, we can see the rise and fall of a race. People with deep evil thoughts often reap the fruits of their own consequences and are bound by their own karma. After all, they will not go far."

"If you are poor, you will be good for yourself; if you are rich, you will benefit the world. Those who are capable will work harder and bear the hardships that you can bear. Only in this way can you have no distractions."

What Que Qingyun said was profound, and Yu Lian half-understood what he said, but she was indeed enlightened by what she said, and she had a little more thought about it.

They walked through the ruined village, and erected a tablet without writing in front of the village to commemorate these innocent dead souls.

In the middle of the night, a strong wind suddenly blew up on the snow field, and the blizzard came suddenly, covering the entire wilderness in an instant.

The temperature dropped suddenly, and when the wind howled, the field of vision was obscured by dense snow, and it was difficult to see clearly even five steps away, making it difficult to move an inch.

Yu Lianxin and Que Qingyun found a rock against the wind, sat down on the spot and adjusted their breath, preparing to continue their journey after the blizzard passed.

The sky became darker, and the snow was mixed with stone-like hailstones, falling down in a rustle, hitting a hole in the snow.

Yu Lian dug a hole under the rock, allowing the two of them to go in and take shelter from the wind.

Que Qingyun took her hand, straightened her clothes that were blown by the wind, smoothed the folds on the skirt, and asked with concern: "Is it cold?"

"Cold." Yu Lian rolled her eyes and spoke nonsense with her eyes open.

Que Qingyun bent his eyes, his normally cold brows still showed a bit of warmth and softness in this majestic wind and snow.

She tightened her five fingers and exerted a little force on her arm, then pulled Yu Lianxin's soft and boneless body into her arms and let him lean on her shoulder.

Yu Lian buried her face in the pocket of the master's shoulder, sniffing the elegant and clear plum fragrance on Que Qingyun's body, the corners of her mouth curled up.

How could Que Qingyun not be able to see her small thoughts, but the master has always spoiled her, so he was willing to follow her wishes and let her occasionally be pretentious.

The master and apprentice depended on each other and took a nap in the cave for an hour.

The whining wind outside the cave gradually died down, but Yu Lian lay in Que Qingyun's arms and pretended to be asleep, refusing to get up.

Que Qingyun caressed the smooth black hair on the back of her head without urging her, until the wind and snow stopped completely, and the crisp sound of gold and iron clashing suddenly came from outside the cave.

Yu Lian opened her eyes suddenly, and got up from Que Qingyun's arms.

The two master and apprentice looked at each other, tacitly confirmed each other's eyes, and were not in a hurry to leave the cave, but only poked out their spiritual sense a little to confirm the changes outside the cave.

Several figures appeared on the wilderness that had been ravaged by the blizzard just now. Among them was a girl in red who was surrounded by bandits with tall horses.

When you came and I fought, if you were a little careless, you were cut in the shoulder by the machete again, and the blood spattered three feet. The girl retreated several steps, completely lost the strength to resist, and fell to the ground.

The bandit leader laughed wildly, with a lewd look on his face, dismounted and walked towards the girl in red, reaching out to grab her by the collar.

Suddenly, a severed arm flew into the air, and the bandit leader was stunned for a moment, looking at his severed arm in shock, and felt the severe pain that swept over him a moment later.

The woman raised her eyebrows and raised her eyes, even though the situation was extremely dangerous, her eyes were still bright.

She was holding a black dagger with a leather handle. It looked very old, and it was quite old, but the blade was so sharp that it could cut off the gangster's head again!

The bandits around were all shocked by this scene. The little girl who was at the end of her life still had the strength to resist.

Seeing that a mouthful of fresh, tender and delicious delicacies was about to be eaten, unexpectedly the rabbits on the table suddenly turned into vicious wolves, and would bite them back when they were about to die!

What a ruthless character not to be provoked!

"Damn it! Bitches!"

He broke his arm for no reason, and what rushed to his heart along with the severe pain was unparalleled fury.

The bandit leader looked ferocious, raised his kick and kicked the woman's arm, trying to kick the dagger away from her hand, but the woman in red clenched her fingers tightly and refused to let go.

She was kicked hard in the face, and she fell backwards. The man raised his leg high and tried to step on her wrist.

The woman closed her eyes, with crystal tears seeping from the corners of her eyes, but a look of determination appeared on her pale face, her wrist was turned upside down, and the knife edge was pointed at her throat.

Since she cannot escape death, she always has to choose her own way to die, and she will never be humiliated.

Suddenly, the strong wind howled, the back of the hand was hit by a hard object, the five fingers were numb under the sting, and the dagger in his hand flew out in the opposite direction.

She opened her eyes suddenly, and her eyes were full of despair.

But the next moment, she froze.

Four or five gangsters staggered back, all of them moved and looked surprisingly consistent. They clutched their throats hard, but unstoppable blood still seeped through their fingers and flowed out, staining their clothes red.

There is also blood falling on the shiny snow, one by one, one by one, dazzling and bright.

The light in these people's eyes quickly dissipated, and then they fell to the ground one after another. After a while, they all died.

It was the dagger that flew out of her hand that killed them.

Subtle footsteps came from behind, and the light steps stepped on the fresh snow, making a very light creaking sound.

Yin Qingxue turned her head slowly, tears instantly blurred her eyes.

Two figures, one red and one white, approached from far to near, like the scene that appeared in her sleepless sleep during countless sleepless moments in the dead of night.

Yu Lian walked over step by step, knelt down slowly in front of her, gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks, suppressed the overwhelming surprise and anger roaring in her chest, and said softly and concernedly: "It's all right now."

Tears welled up in her eyes silently, but the expression on her face was still dull.

Yin Qingxue stared blankly at the person in front of her, unable to distinguish between dreams and reality. After a long time, Fang murmured: "Sister..."

She had doubts on her face, and her expression was blank: "I'm dead too? Is that why you came to pick me up?"

The voice is hoarse, like a moaning mosquito.

Yu Lian didn't expect Yin Qingxue to say such a thing, and felt sad in addition to being helpless.

Many years ago, she brought the underage Yin Qingxue back to the Tinglan Sect. After a hundred years, she finally reunited. After failing to get along for a few days, they parted again for some reason.

Every time Yin Qingxue heard about them, it was the sad news of their deaths.

They are always parting, always in debt, when they are not by Yin Qingxue's side, there are countless and endless hardships, she can only rely on herself.

But after going around and around, seeing her so abruptly again, Yin Qingxue still remembered her, and she still wanted to call her "sister".

This friendship is as deep as a mountain.

Fortunately, they rushed here today at a critical moment.

Yu Lian then replied, "No, Xue'er, you are not dead, we are not dead, everyone is still alive."

"Alive..." Yin Qingxue repeated what she said, her silent eyes slowly regaining their light.

She woke up suddenly, then turned her head and looked around, seeing the corpses of the bandits lying on the ground, she finally realized suddenly, and found the real feeling that she was still alive.

"Sister!" Yin Qingxue threw herself into Yu Lian's arms, clutching the clothes on her back with both hands, crying uncontrollably for a moment.

Her shoulders trembled violently, her breathing was rapid, and she was agitated and unable to calm down.

After a while, Yin Qingxue calmed down a bit, but before Yu Lian asked her what happened and why she was alone in the barren land in the extreme north, she heard her crying and begging loudly:

"Sister, Immortal Master Que! Please save Fang Juinian! She can't die!"
