The sky above the abyss seems to never clear up, there will be no sun in the morning, and there will be no evening, only endless gloomy clouds piled up.

There are many rows of houses standing dozens of miles away, with a single style, similar to that in the academy. At first glance, it is provided by Lulin Academy.

Xie Changming walked all the way back, put away the knife, confirmed the identity on the jade plaque with the guards outside, walked in for a while, saw the word Xu hanging under the eaves, pushed open the door, and walked straight away go in.

Mr. Xu was sitting on a bamboo chair, his legs were covered with a thick fur. When he looked up, he saw that no one else came in, and asked, "Where is Chen Qingye?"

Xie Changming walked over to watch him record the recent battle situation on the table, and how the moves and spells of various sects caused harm to the hungry ghosts. He has written more than half of the book.

He sat opposite, poured a cup of tea, and said lightly: "You have to give him time to do what he wants to do."

With a pen in his hand, Mr. Xu wrote another line after hearing the words, and smiled: "You're right. Actually, it's best for me to look at him."

In the past few days, Mr. Xu has also gone to the battlefield. Although he tells a lot of lies and comes casually, he is a real sick man.

None of this is fake.

Xie Changming is a very meddlesome person, but he persuaded him to stop that mentality before, because his body has suffered a lot, almost to the point where he can't support it.

But Mr. Xu didn't listen to advice.

Xie Changming took a sip of cold tea, only to hear Mr. Xu say again: "This time the boiling time is very short, but it is not serious. The people in the academy and all sects combined, compared to before, have already It's enough. I just don't know the reason why it is so frequent, and what Chen Qingye wants to do."

Xie Changming listened quietly without expressing his opinion. He was thinking about why he died in the abyss every time.

This seemingly unconnected place with other people and things in the world is closely related to Xie Changming's life and death.

Mr. Xu gradually became silent, and continued to write the booklet, waiting to go back and then integrate the previous content compilation.

The days in the abyss were very busy, and there were many people who came, but to deal with the hungry ghosts that eat people, there were not many manpower. In addition, he had to watch Chen Qingye, Xie Changming seldom had leisure time.

This is a rare break.

Xie Changming remembered the night before he left, he watched the little Changming bird under the lamp.

Maybe it's the time of parting, or through the lanterns, Shengliuyu is set off beautifully.

He was picking up the candle wick carelessly, wearing only a thin undershirt, he was very thin from head to toe, but his earlobe had more flesh than other places, like a beautifully shaped and plump droplet pearl, glowing under the dim yellow candlelight. Shiny light.

Sheng Liuyu didn't say anything, just looked up at Xie Changming, with the shadow of a person in his eyes, staggering.

Those eyes are the color of the sun, they are too close to God, so they appear cold and alienated, and can rarely accommodate other soft and irrepressible emotions.

The little Changming bird is also like that, but there is a shadow of a person in its eyes, and it will sway in the light, as if to say, "waiting for you to come back."

After drinking half a cup of cold tea, Xie Changming got up and walked outside.

He pushed open the door, his heart skipped a beat, and he paused before the threshold.

Mr. Xu asked: "What's wrong?"

Xie Changming looked up at the sky, it should be dusk at this time, he shook his head: "It's nothing."

After returning to the abyss, Chen Qingye saw Xie Changming, walked over again, and tried to talk to him: "Xie Daoyou's sword is so fast, where do you dare to ask?"

Xie Changming has been deliberately acting taciturn, but he just said: "The small sect in Yunzhou has long been destroyed."

Chen Qingye seemed to believe it, but said: "Thank you, why are you so modest. But since the sect is destroyed, you have studied for another three years, and you haven't thought about where you will go in the future?"

Xie Changming wiped the knife slowly: "I never thought about something so far away."

Chen Qingye laughed a few times: "Our Yancheng is a good place to go. If Brother Xie comes, as the host, I must treat you well and recommend you to Master."

Xie Changming didn't seem to be very interested in these things. He put away the knife and glanced at Chen Qingye: "That's for the future."

Added another sentence: "It's getting dark."

The hungry ghost is coming again.

Chen Qingye panicked for a moment.In the past few days, he has said that he is fighting hungry ghosts, but in reality he has been fishing in troubled waters and doing nothing.

Xie Changming stopped looking at him, drew his knife again, and walked towards the crack in the abyss without haste. The last light in the sky stretched his shadow very long.

The incident at Lulin Academy happened very quietly, and it was resolved quickly. Apart from the practicing disciples in the academy, the people in Shaohai City could at most notice that the thin golden light covering the academy suddenly disappeared for a moment, but recover soon.But these are all matters of the Xian family, they have no way of knowing.And the abyss is thousands of miles away, even if it is to deliver a letter, if it is not an emergency, no matter how fast the carrier pigeon is, it will take a few days to arrive.

At this time, although Yan Luo left, he still firmly imprisoned everyone in the academy, so that they could not use their spiritual power. Even the formation outside the academy was not a large formation to protect the mountain, but a blinding method to block communication with the outside world. Enchantment.

The abyss boiled for a few more days, and the barrier was finally broken. Mr. Xu, who was resting in the camp, also received the news.

As soon as he saw the news of Sheng Liuyu's captivity, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and went straight to the abyss.

It was noon.Just after the hungry ghosts were wiped out last night, there were scattered people walking back from the camp and the road to the abyss, but Xie Changming was not among them.

The spiritual energy around the abyss is thinner than meeting other places, not to mention that even cultivators need to rest, and those who fight on the front line always have to rotate, but Xie Changming stays there regardless of day and night, only going back occasionally.

Mr. Xu looked forward for a long time, and finally saw Xie Changming.

The abyss was surrounded by scorched earth and rocks, with no grass growing. Xie Changming inserted the scabbard into the rocks and leaned on it, holding the knife in his left hand, resting with his eyes closed.

Xie Changming has changed several knives.

One was blunt, the other was broken by the ghost mother's teeth, and the other was too brittle, the blade was full of gaps.

This is the fourth.

Mr. Xu walked over without touching him, but said softly: "Something happened in the academy."

"The little Changming bird was kidnapped."

It is rare for Xie Changming to be so sleepy. He has not left the abyss for a day and a night. The spiritual power of every meridian in his body has been squeezed to the extreme. A few words for Little Changming Bird.

He barely opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mr. Xu took a deep breath: "Your little Changming bird was taken away by the demons."

Xie Changming was still very sleepy just now, this sentence was like a stab in his heart, it almost broke his stomach, he immediately woke up from the pain, his whole body trembled, he didn't even hold the knife in his hand, and suddenly let go , and instinctively fished it back, but what he held was the blade.

The blade he just took out was surprisingly sharp, and Xie Changming was tired of changing knives, so he went to a craftsman to buy a good knife, which is comparable to ordinary blades.As soon as he clenched it tightly, the blade cut through the skin, the wound across the palm was deep enough to see the bone, and golden blood gushed out almost instantly.

Mr. Xu's eyes flashed, as if he saw something unusual, but he didn't seem to see anything, and immediately forgot.

Xie Changming clicked his tongue, lowered his head and bit the handle of the knife as if he thought it was troublesome, and casually tore off a corner of his clothes as a bandage. Wrap the wound tightly with the other hand.In fact, the cloth is covered with a layer of his own spiritual power, which can temporarily block the blood inside, preventing Mr. Xu in front of him from discovering any clues.

Indeed, Mr. Xu did not see any more blood, but only saw Xie Changming's deep and gloomy eyes, which seemed to be colder and more terrifying than a hungry ghost.

He persuaded: "Although you are anxious about the demon race, the little Changming Bird is estimated to be in the Demon Realm now, and how to rescue it needs to be considered long-term. Don't be too anxious."

Xie Changming didn't speak.

In fact, his thinking has become very slow. At this moment, he can only understand the news of the little Changming bird's captivity, and cannot accept more.

He didn't know what to do or what to do for a while, he just thought about losing his bird again.

There are two continents between the abyss and the academy, and the vast mountains, rivers, lakes and seas are tens of thousands of miles away.

Even if you fly continuously for a moment, it is difficult to reach it for a day and a night.

Xie Changming lowered his eyes halfway, tied up the cloth strips, let go of his mouth, and the white blade gleamed like a knife, and fell straight down.He caught the handle of the knife with his injured hand, thinking about what in the academy could be used as a medium to connect the formations of the two places.

In fact, the two places are too far apart, and there is nothing that can be used as a medium to accommodate the pressure of crossing such a distance.

Xie Changming felt a little regretful.

He almost never regrets, because regret is a useless thing, nothing can be done.

But Xie Changming's few rare regrets in his life were all because of Sheng Liuyu.

Even if he was going to die, Xie Changming never felt that he did something wrong that led to such a result.In the end, he went to death twice willingly. No one could force him to die, but he had regrets, deficiencies, and omissions in the little Changming bird, and he would never be able to achieve perfection.

Because the little Changming bird is the only one Xie Changming wants to protect.

Sheng Liuyu accidentally broke a feather, the owner did not take good care of it, let alone lost it at this time.

Xie Changming thought, he had seen the little Changming bird suffer from bone loss, so he should learn from him, put a bone of his own next to his bird, and with the help of his cultivation during the tribulation period, it might be barely usable at this time.

Mr. Xu saw that Xie Changming was holding the knife without even pulling out the scabbard. He walked straight forward, then stopped suddenly, and took out something from the mustard seed. He didn't see what it was, but saw Xie Changming disappear in an instant. without a trace.
