There are bandits in Zhongshan

The wind and snow outside seemed to be getting stronger, and occasionally even a few snowflakes were brought in by the turbulent wind and scattered on the ice, like pure white gravel.

Just like long-distance thoughts, ethereal and shapeless, if you hold them together with a little force, they will flow away between your fingers, leaving only a shadow as light as smoke.

"What did you see?" Zhong Mingzhu asked, the two were sitting opposite each other at this moment, and she clearly saw a flash of sadness on Chang Li's face.

"It looks like a battlefield..." Chang Li closed his eyes, recalled the situation at that time, and then slowly brought back those broken pictures one by one.

Filled with flames, the sea of ​​blood churned, and the evil spirit that broke through the sky enveloped the entire land. Under the dark clouds, the creatures cried out in despair...

The hands resting on her knees clenched unconsciously, she clearly didn't understand.

I have never experienced disasters, how can I understand the despair in it, but the cold voice is still stained with depression that I didn't even realize, intermittently, and in the end, every word is extremely difficult, "The whole mountain and river... all , have become torn apart..."

Realizing that Chang Li was so deeply affected, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, Zhong Mingzhu frowned unconsciously.

After the division of the Three Realms, there were several disasters that swept the entire world, but they all happened in the distant past, and only vague records have been handed down to this day.In the past 2000 years, only the Sea of ​​Sumeru has shocked the entire cultivation world. Although other disputes have continued, they are far from changing the color of the mountains and rivers.

But what Changli saw seemed to be on the eve of the end of the world.

Only at that time, the evil spirit will spread all over the earth, and the howling of wronged souls will be enough to be heard.Those Zhong Mingzhu had only seen the records, but had never seen it with their own eyes. Hearing Changli's detailed description, he thought to himself: Could it be because of the Chongxiao Sword?

The Chongxiao Sword is forged from Heavenly Fire, absorbing the blood and energy of thousands of people, and even perishing in Chongxiao to store their remnant souls, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary spirit swords.Taoyuan Yubi can leave the shadow of the sword dancer, and the tragedy of the year may not be sealed in the Chongxiao Sword.

And what Changli saw may be the catastrophe that almost brought the world back to chaos.

Zhong Mingzhu thought of the faint green energy that enveloped Changli hundreds of years ago, which was similar to Cangwu Sword, but even stronger than Cangwu Sword.

Could it be—

A thoughtful look suddenly appeared in those shallow eyes.

"And... there are still people talking..." Changli didn't notice her strangeness, and continued, "I should...don't know them..."

But it is inexplicably familiar, as if engraved in the depths of memory since birth.

One of the voices seems to have given up, but the other is still persisting.

Chang Li's voice became deeper and deeper, and she felt that something was blocked in her heart, she was panicking with boredom, there was something missing, and a large piece of cold wind poured in, no matter how many things were piled up, it couldn't fill it.

Suddenly, pink rain floated in front of her eyes, emotions of joy and sadness surged together, conflicting and incomparably harmonious, spreading like a tide until it engulfed her.

"Who is it..." she murmured, as if in a daze.

Seeing this, Zhong Mingzhu quickly shook her shoulders and called out, "Li'er! Stop, don't think about it."

Changli suddenly woke up, and his eyes, fascinated by the nightmare, fell on Zhong Mingzhu's face: "I, what's wrong..."

"Chongxiao Sword is a bloodthirsty and fierce sword, enough to mess with your mind." Zhong Mingzhu pondered, "What you saw may be the scene when the Emperor of Heaven fought Chongxiao. I don't know if there are other people fighting Liu Han. Smoke handed over."

If those people also saw it, it might be because of the Chong Xiao Sword, if only Chang Li saw it...

Zhong Mingzhu's eyes dimmed. After thinking for a while, he seemed to have decided on something. He took a deep breath and said, "Li'er, have you ever heard—"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Chang Li suddenly covered his forehead and bent down.

"Li'er!" Zhong Mingzhu quickly helped her up, knowing that it was Changli's headache attack again, she pondered for a while, then put one hand on her vest and slowly poured spiritual power into her to protect her meridians from harm, and the other hand Then forcefully push away Chang Li's hand, put two fingers together and touch her forehead.

There was a flash of fire, flowing from her fingertips into the center of Changli's eyebrows, she had learned some techniques for finding a doctor from Zhu Maolin.Since it was a headache, the source was probably in Yintang, but the next moment, she felt a sharp aura confronting her, making it impossible for her to spy on Changli Yintang's spiritual power. His blood color faded completely, as if he was enduring torture, the veins under his skin were bulging, his breathing was short and disordered, his joints were rattling, and his whole body trembled.

Zhong Mingzhu's heart felt cold, and she immediately withdrew her spiritual power. She almost suffered a backlash in a haste, but how could she care about herself? He didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of causing some trouble if he was not careful, so he hugged Changli and secretly scolded himself as "stupid like a pig".

After a long time, Changli's face recovered a little bit, she looked up and saw Zhong Mingzhu's face full of self-blame, and immediately said: "I'm fine."

It's just that the weak voice is not convincing at all.

Zhong Mingzhu found a few pills for her without saying a word, then pulled the cloak on her tightly without leaving any gaps, and finally sighed softly. She felt annoyed, but more powerless.

She has always been conceited, and she has played with the great powers of those sects in applause many times, but now she is tied up again and again, and her long distance is coveted by others, and she may have been suffering from harm all the time, but she no idea.

Nine Yi Mountain, Sumeru Sea, Yuyuan, Tianyi School, Chongxiao Sword, and Heavenly Dao——she carefully sorted out the information she knew, frowned from time to time, and looked around in the narrow fault, and finally Landing in front of Changli's forehead, seeing that bloody imprint, her heart skipped a beat, and a thought that made her feet feel cold gradually emerged.

"Li'er." She gently stroked the cinnabar mole on the center of Changli's eyebrows, and rubbed it on the skin little by little, "Is this mole born?"

Chang Li was resting his eyes with his eyes closed. Hearing her question, he stroked his forehead subconsciously, but touched Zhong Mingzhu's hand. She had to put down her hand, nodded after a while and said, "Well, it's natural."

"I heard that people who are born with sand between the eyebrows have many excellent bones, and they are quite destined to be immortal." Zhong Mingzhu said slowly, moving his fingertips away from the center of the eyebrows, outlining the browbones and falling behind the ears, and then all the way from the neck Going down, and finally stopped in front of the lower abdomen, she just made a simple swipe, but all the strokes were not the main points of the veins.

"Young Master Uncle seems to have said that too." Chang Li was a little confused, "Could it be a fallacy?"

"It's nothing, I just happened to remember it." Zhong Mingzhu withdrew his hand and let out a sigh of relief, "As for whether it is a fallacy, I don't know. Among the monks I know, you are the only one who has a frown on the brow, but if it is based on you For example, this statement is quite accurate."

Speaking of the latter, her tone was relaxed, which seemed to be a bit of a joke, but the hand behind her was clenched more and more tightly.

Chang Li didn't notice the anxiety hidden by the other party. She said that she was fine, but in fact she still hadn't completely shaken off the shadow brought by that moment just now. At that time, she even thought that she was going to be crushed.Zhong Mingzhu didn't ask any more questions, so she didn't have time to think about anything.

Not long after, she heard Zhong Mingzhu say again: "Li'er, why don't we leave together."

The other party's voice was very soft. At first, she thought she had heard it wrong. She opened her eyes and saw Zhong Mingzhu's serious expression. Then she realized and asked, "Leave? Where are you going?"

"Anywhere is good, just like the Huozheng clan, choose a place to live in seclusion, and no one will find you."

"No one can find..." Chang Li read these words, his pretty eyebrows slightly furrowed, "You want to escape?"

Then without waiting for Zhong Mingzhu's response, she got up abruptly, but her eyes were darkened due to lack of strength and she almost fell down. Zhong Mingzhu quickly reached out to help her, but was pushed away.

Chang Li stared at her, his dark eyes were full of disappointment: "You said that you would follow me back to Yunfu Mountain to prove your innocence, and you would explain to Tian Yizong what happened back then." She spoke hurriedly, a little out of breath after finishing a sentence Angry, he paused for a moment before continuing: "Are these just lying to me?"

"No!" Zhong Mingzhu also stood up, keeping his hands outstretched, a little awkward, and implying a little irritability that was difficult to relieve, "If I want to escape, why should I wait until now."

"Then why do you..." Changli bit her lower lip, she didn't understand why Zhong Mingzhu said this suddenly, and she could only find such a reason after racking her brains.

Zhong Mingzhu clenched and loosened his hands, as if he was trying to restrain his emotions. Changli suddenly remembered the angry appearance of the other party when they first met, and his body did not feel tense, but soon, Zhong Mingzhu sat down slumped and pulled out a With a wry smile, "It's not safe here."

"It's not safe anywhere..." Her voice sounded a little self-defeating, "Yu Yuan and the others may have more power than I imagined, and I can't even guess what they want to do next. How can they beat them in numbers and power, and—”

That guess appeared in her mind, and her heart became colder and colder.

"And what?" Chang Li asked.

Zhong Mingzhu glanced at her, then quickly looked away, and sighed: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect that I would have such a powerless day, all I can do is find a place to hide."

"Sorry..." Changli knelt down beside her. She felt a little regretful. She lost her temper without asking why. She tentatively stretched out her hand and lightly touched Zhong Mingzhu's arm. Put your hand on it, "I shouldn't doubt you."

"It's always good to have multiple minds, maybe one day I will really sell you." Zhong Mingzhu said so.

"Sell? But I—"

"All right, all right, no one will sell it, no one will." Zhong Mingzhu interrupted her quickly.

I also know that if Changli wants to say that she is not a commodity, she will always show a childlike innocence inadvertently, which makes Zhong Mingzhu love and hate.

I love her heart that is not contaminated by the world, but I will complain why she is always so defenseless, ignorant of the darkness lurking around her.

Maybe one day Changli will understand, but Zhong Mingzhu doesn't know if there is enough time.

But that person still has the temperament of accepting death, which is really terrible. She laughed at herself, and then said firmly: "You won't leave with me, right. Even if you know that they treat you like a fish."

"I..." Changli slowly withdrew Zhong Mingzhu's hand, but was quickly pulled back by the other party. She raised her eyes to look at Zhong Mingzhu, but the other party just looked straight ahead without saying a word. I could only lower my eyes again, and said with difficulty, "I won't leave. If I leave, what will the little uncle and the others do... and now the master's whereabouts are unknown, so I can't."

"You attach great importance to Tianyi School." Zhong Mingzhu murmured, "But the world just says you are ruthless."

"Since I can remember, I've lived in Tianyi School... I used to think that Yunfu Mountain was the whole world..." Chang Li said, holding the most appropriate words in his mind, "I don't understand why the world is like this, but I can't ignore Tianyi."

"Is it because of the door rules? What if there are no door rules?"

Chang Li frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence slowly said: "I don't know... Maybe it's because of the door rules, but for me, it seems that there is only one way to go, what would happen without the door rules... I can't imagine. "She sighed softly: "You said you want to leave, you can go anywhere, but as for 'where', I can only think of Yunfu Mountain, I don't know where else I can go..."

"For you, Tianyi Sect is home?" Zhong Mingzhu finally turned his head to look at Changli, his light-colored eyes fluctuating with emotion.

"Home?" A trace of confusion flashed in Changli's eyes, she calmed down and began to think quietly.

In the silence, a little bit of brilliance appeared in those dark eyes.

It seems to have discovered some treasure inadvertently.

"It should be..." Changli was still a little uncertain at first, but then nodded vigorously, "Yes, Tianyizong is home to me."

Seeing the smile on her lips, Zhong Mingzhu was filled with emotion. She still remembered that when Li Yang asked where Changli's home was, Changli's unspoken answer was "I don't have a home".

"Well, let's not go." She suddenly opened her arms to embrace Chang Li, and pulled her into her arms forcefully, at the same time, some dark eyes appeared in her light-colored eyes, "When I recover from my injuries, we will go back to Nanming Villa , I want to talk to Longtian carp."

She had a guess, but she hoped she was wrong.

In Nanming Villa, Longtian Li was staring at a tree in the corner of the courtyard in a daze. Since Changli disappeared, she has been restless.Seeing her in a bad mood, the other disciples didn't even dare to vent their anger when they met her, for fear of being scolded.

But she would rather have someone to contradict her, than uncontrollably thinking about Chang Li's message and Mo Chenxiang's words over and over again.

She didn't believe in Zhong Mingzhu, and refused to believe in that notorious devil from the bottom of her heart, but she had to admit that the possibility that she didn't even want to listen to it was actually the most reasonable.

But if it’s really not Zhong Mingzhu——

Thinking of this, she felt a chill all over her body, and could hardly resist shivering.

"It can't be her..." She said with a sullen face and stubbornness, her hands hidden under her robe kept clenching tightly, as if she wanted to crush this possibility.

Suddenly, a disciple came in a hurry, and it seemed that there was something to report.Before the other party came to her, she asked first, "Is Senior Brother Mu here?"

On the day Changli was taken away by Zhong Mingzhu, she sent a letter back to Tianzong to ask Mu Danxin to come and help her. Counting the time, it will be almost there.

"Uh, no." The disciple looked at Longtian Li's expression and said cautiously, "Someone is asking to see you."

"Who?" Hearing that it wasn't Mu Danxin, and thinking of Mu Yun and Mo Chenxiang who came to visit before, Longtian Li suddenly had no good face, and his voice became a little more sharp.

The disciple was so bluffed that he wanted to run away, but he didn't dare to slack off because of the importance of the matter, so he had to bite the bullet and continued: "The man claimed to be from the Huozheng clan in Zhuoguang Mountain, and he said that he must see Grand Master Uncle. .”

As he spoke, he offered something with both hands.It is a pure white jade tablet with the black cloud patterns of Tian Yizong engraved on the edge. It is slightly different from the status jade card of ordinary disciples, and it is the trust of the great elder.

This one belongs to Wu Hui.
