There are bandits in Zhongshan

There are similar people in this world.As long as they are connected by blood, their looks will be similar to a certain extent, just like Mu Yun and Ye Chenzhou, their jaws and lips are almost exactly the same.Even strangers who have no blood relationship may have similar looks.

——But this is so rare that it is hard to believe that it is accidental.

What's more, the woman recorded in this scroll lived tens of thousands of years ago.

The vicissitudes of life have changed, the ancient tribes have perished, and new tribes have been born elsewhere. Even the mountains and rivers have changed their appearances, and the blood inheritance has been broken many times.

It is impossible to look exactly like the ancients. Even if a powerful soul may retain the characteristics of the previous life during reincarnation, with each reincarnation, the remaining power in the soul will gradually weaken, and the three souls and six souls themselves will also separate. Aggregation often disappears after a few lifetimes.

But Chang Li and the woman in the scroll were almost carved out of the same mold, like twins.

And she acted like that, she was clearly going to - Thinking of this, Zhong Mingzhu's eyes became even colder, he tightened his fingers inch by inch, and said sharply: "This is a forgery, tell me! What is your purpose!"

Li Yang opened his mouth and spit out a few indistinct syllables, put his hand on the back of Zhong Mingzhu's hand, tried to break it apart but couldn't shake it, and after a while, his face turned red and he almost fainted.

After Changli woke up from a brief trance, what she saw was such a scene, she hurriedly said: "Let her go." At the same time, she grabbed Zhong Mingzhu's arm, seeing that she was unmoved, a flash of light flashed in her eyes. Angry, he raised his hand and hit Zhong Mingzhu hard on the wrist, forcing her to let go.

Zhong Mingzhu didn't expect Chang Li to make a move, half of his arm lost his strength without any precautions, and his five fingers couldn't be fastened. Li Yang immediately fell to the ground, clutching his neck and coughing violently.

"You!" Zhong Mingzhu cast a sideways glance at Chang Li, feeling a little annoyed, and then took a step forward, and reached out to Li Yang with another hand, as if he wanted to continue asking, but Chang Li held his shoulders and arms back push away.

The secret room was very small, and after only a few steps, her back slammed into the rock wall.

Changli used all his strength to forcefully hold her down. Seeing that the anger in those shallow eyes remained undiminished, she didn't know how to persuade her. At this time, she thought of those bloody "people" in the fog again, and couldn't help it. He looked at Zhong Mingzhu's eyes more and more carefully, trying to see something.

Zhong Mingzhu lowered his head, just in time to meet Shang Changli's eyes.What she saw was a pair of eyes completely different from that of the woman in the fog.

The woman's eyes were warm, like a lake reflecting ten miles of peach blossoms after the ice and snow melted, while the long-distance eyes were like a cool ancient mirror, directly reflecting everything in her heart.

Just like now, anxiety and worry are engraved in the ink, without any cover.

She suddenly calmed down.

——No, they are different.

The thoughts occupied by anger and helplessness gradually regained clarity. She sighed softly and let go of her strength silently, but then she felt that the pressure on her body continued unabated.

It should be that Changli was determined not to let her hurt Li Yang, so he didn't dare to relax when she saw her pull back.

She is really as stubborn as a stone, she thought helplessly, then hooked the corners of her mouth, leaned over to Changli's ear and said softly: "Li'er, be gentle, my hand is about to break."

She almost said these words while biting Chang Li's ear, and deliberately blew a few breaths, Chang Li froze immediately, as if her veins were pinched, and she didn't even dare to move.

"Heh." Zhong Mingzhu laughed briskly, broke free from Chang Li's confinement with a twist of his arms, and strode in front of Li Yang.

Li Yang just stood up, and his face was still a little ugly.She was very surprised at first, why the young master was so excited, but then she saw him talking into Changli's ear without any scruples, his unrestrained arm loosely wrapped around Changli's body, from her Looking over from the position, it was as if he was holding Chang Li in his arms.

Fairy Changli, who exuded the aura of "no one should enter" all over her body back then, is now so close to that person, without the slightest rejection.

The relationship between the two must be unusual.

No wonder he reacted so strongly, she thought as she rubbed her still aching neck.

But even if she guessed the relationship between the other party and Chang Li, she was still a little puzzled. Seeing such a weird thing, most ordinary people are more surprised than angry, but why the young master is more angry than shocked.

—Could he have seen something else?

But before she had time to clear her mind, she saw the person who nearly strangled her walking towards her, and she couldn't help taking a step back half vigilantly and half fearfully, and then she heard "Sorry", and at the same time, a The elixir was thrown over.

"I was impulsive just now, so this is an apology." Zhong Mingzhu tried to be sincere when she thought that Chang Li was still staring at her, and then she lowered her voice, making no secret of the threat in her tone, "However, we should I still need an explanation, who is that person?"

Li Yang held the elixir, but did not take it immediately, glanced at Chang Li, saw that her expression was still indifferent, as if she hadn't been affected at all, so she smiled wryly and shook her head: "I don't know. I thought Chang Li After the fairy sees it, she may think of something."

"You don't know?" Zhong Mingzhu raised his eyebrows playfully, "You don't know?"

Seeing her like this, Chang Li's first reaction was that she was about to get angry again, and immediately stretched out an arm to block her, with a warning look in his eyes.

"Okay, I won't do anything to her." Zhong Mingzhu touched his nose, smiled at her, and said, "What did you think?"

Chang Li shook his head: "I just find it strange."

No matter who you are, you will feel strange when you see someone who looks exactly like you.What's more, she also saw what happened afterwards, her heart was occupied by doubts, and she had no time to care about the person who looked like herself.

She couldn't help but look at Zhong Mingzhu's eyes again. There was plenty of light in the secret room, so those eyes looked lighter in color, as if they were snow fields under the dark night, without any heat.

——"It was originally like this."

She remembered that when she asked Zhong Mingzhu why the color of his eyes changed not long ago, the other party stroked the corners of his eyes and said so.

It was originally like this, meaning it was originally purple?Or does it turn purple when you are lucky?

Ever since she saw the flashing picture, she couldn't help but think about the meaning of this sentence over and over again, but she still couldn't be sure.Thinking of Zhong Mingzhu's actions after that, she couldn't help pursing her lips tightly, complex emotions flashed in her black eyes.

At that time, she wanted to ask clearly, but the sudden intimacy of the other party made her focus on one thing and lose another. In the end, her mind went blank, and she completely forgot about those doubts that she had no time to ask in the future.

Did she do it on purpose?Thinking of this, Chang Li couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

Depression and sourness flooded in, and it was a feeling of deja vu. Outside Nanming Villa, when she learned that she was deceived by Zhong Mingzhu, it was the same. When she knew it, she felt heavy boulders pressing on her heart, making her unable to get through.

Maybe--

She bit her lower lip, thinking: I should ask again.

Why do your eyes turn purple, exactly like those who destroy the world without mercy.

Sensing Changli's scrutinizing eyes, Zhong Mingzhu cast a doubtful glance, but Changli had already lowered his head, and the color of his eyes was hidden in the shadow of his eyelashes, which became darker and darker.

Although it is impossible to distinguish the expression, it can be seen that there is something on his mind.

She thought to herself: Could it be that Li'er thought of something?So he wanted to ask what happened, but he swallowed the words before he could speak them.

Right now is not a good time to talk—her eyes swept around, and finally stopped at Changli's forehead for a while, then looked at Li Yang, and said, "Then what do you know? Or you don't know anything, just rely on It’s ridiculous to ask someone to help you with an afterimage.”

The fog had cleared, and before it cleared, there were occasional flashes of similar scenes: raging fires, battlefields, the bones of all living beings, and the flashing light of the Emperor's Sword.

The sword light splits the blood-colored sky, washes away the resentment of the dead souls, and restores tranquility to the roaring and collapsing mountains and rivers.

"I don't know her identity, I only know that she is related to the Emperor Sword." Li Yang looked at the erratic mist in the room, "The center of Zhuoguang Mountain is the heart-melting sword furnace, where the two divine weapons were born, and The temple just north of Jianlu enshrines the statue of Haotian. For tens of thousands of years, the fierce sword Chongxiao has been suppressed under the statue of Haotian. This has been only passed down in the lineage of the patriarch, but I don’t know how Liu Hanyan learned about it. .”

Although the Huozheng clan swore to protect the sword, after tens of thousands of years, it is inevitable that there will be several accidents. Moreover, they don't live up to ten thousand years like the mermaids. One or two accidents that almost lead to the extinction of the clan are enough to break many inheritances .Although today's clansmen still remember the mission of protecting the sword, most of them don't know why. Even the patriarch can only deduce the past events based on the broken pictures on the scroll.

In ancient times, Huozheng was the fire official of the emperor of heaven, he had the skill of controlling fire, his clansmen were sheltered, he was good at smelting and forging, and all the soldiers in the world came from Huozheng's hands.When Chongxiao served as a fire officer, the Huozheng clan was no longer satisfied with ordinary weapons. They wanted to forge a sword that was unparalleled in the world and could make the world lose its glory.

"My family did not live in Zhuoguang Mountain in ancient times, but in Hexu Mountain." Li Yang said.

As the Fire Officer of the Emperor of Heaven, he naturally lives beside the Emperor of Heaven.

"It was only after Chongxiao found the candle dragon's breath in Zhuoguang Mountain after thousands of years that this place became the sword furnace of the Huozheng clan."

"The breath of the candle dragon?" Zhong Mingzhu asked, "Could it be that this is the place where the candle dragon died?"

Li Yang nodded: "God Nuwa sealed the fire of heaven in a very deep underground, and it is difficult to obtain the gods of later generations, even the emperor of heaven. It's just that God Candle Dragon pityed the extreme cold in the northern region, and he once asked God Nuwa Get a little bit of heavenly fire, and carry it over the northern region every day, making the place warm enough to nourish the living beings. After he died, that little bit of heavenly fire fell into Zhuoguang Mountain and became a sea of ​​fire. That was the breath of the candle dragon, Chongxiao found Later, a sword furnace was built there."

"It was cast three times in total." Li Yang closed his eyes and sighed deeply, "The first time it was made with natural materials and earthly treasures, the second time it was made with the bones of ferocious beasts, and the third time it was made with human essence and blood."

Hearing the last few words, Chang Li couldn't help frowning. She was usually very calm, but for some reason, at this moment, she felt an anger rising from the depths of her spiritual sea. She clenched her hands and suppressed the inexplicable feeling. Anxiously, Li Yang interrupted and said: "Why do you need human blood? Isn't the blood of those ferocious beasts acceptable?"

Hearing her sudden question, Li Yang was a little surprised. He was stunned for a moment before shaking his head: "When God Nv Wa pinched people, he once incorporated his own blood essence. The most important thing is actually Nv Wa's essence blood."

In the Hetu Luoshu, only Taoist people are made with reference to the appearance of gods, so they are born with spiritual consciousness, and it is easier to cultivate than other races. In fact, the spiritual consciousness of the human race comes from Nuwa's blood essence.

Nuwa was born after Pangu's fall, and she is one of the oldest gods. Her power is far beyond that of the gods of later generations. Therefore, even though the ancestors of the human race only have a ray of blood essence, they can reproduce from generation to generation and their spiritual consciousness is immortal.

"Even I think he's a lunatic." Zhong Mingzhu touched his nose, "But the fire officer did this under the nose, didn't the Emperor of Heaven not notice it at all? Aren't those gods all psychic, and they have to plug in everything?" Feet." The last sentence sounded a bit mocking.

After she asked, Li Yang also showed doubts, and shook his head after thinking for a while: "I don't know, I only know that he recruited many people, and then threw them all into the pool of blood."

In ancient times, there were far fewer human races than today, and life was extremely difficult. Fire can keep warm, cook food, and drive away beasts. Therefore, the fire officer has a high status in the human race, even higher than the tribal leaders, so Chong Xiao summoned them without any effort. Half of the tribes in the world.

"Not only a lunatic, but also a liar." Zhong Mingzhu curled his lips, and then the ridicule in his eyes became more serious, "Let me guess, in fact, everyone in the Huozheng clan knew about this, that's why your ancestors made a pact with heaven , to guard the Chongxiao Sword in this desolate land from generation to generation."

Li Yang's eyes darkened, and he said with difficulty: "Yes. Even if there are objections, they will all be expelled."

Chongxiao finally extracted Nuwa's blood essence to forge a sword, but the resentment of countless dead souls also melted into the sword.

Life and death are out of balance, everything is in chaos, and eventually the world almost returns to chaos.

The Huozheng clan has guarded the sword for generations, not only for their mission, but also for atonement.

"But what does this have to do with that woman?" Zhong Mingzhu snorted coldly, and asked again, "Besides, I remember that the Emperor Sword was also forged by your family, so it's already made up for it, why bother to embarrass future generations. "

Li Yang said: "Not necessarily, maybe the Emperor Sword did not come from the Huozheng clan. There was originally a smaller temple behind the temple enshrining the Haotian statue, but it collapsed and was buried underground. After taking the Chongxiao Sword, I realized that there is still such a place by mistake."

Mountains and rivers have changed, and Zhuoguang Mountain is not immune. Although it has been strengthened by enchantment, damage is still inevitable. Today's temple has collapsed several times, and part of it has sunk into the ground. The descendants did not know it and laid floor tiles on it. , to bury the original traces.

When Liu Hanyan drew his sword, the eruption of spiritual power shook Zhuoguang Mountain, and cracks appeared behind the temple. Li Yang found another small hall hidden underground when he inspected it.

"It's the same as the temple, you need a fire order to enter." Li Yang said and glanced at Changli, "It's the token I gave Fairy Changli back then."

"You are generous." Zhong Mingzhu interjected, "That thing sounds very expensive."

"It's a keepsake handed down from the lineage of the patriarch. There were originally nine of them, but at that time there were only two left, which were held by my grandfather and me respectively. Now there is only one left." Li Yang lowered his eyes, with a smile on his face. Grief surfaced, "Originally, I wanted to send a message to Fairy Changli by means of the Shuhuo Order after I returned to Zhuoguang Mountain, but I didn't expect the world to be unpredictable."

Yunfu Mountain is frozen, and Changli has amnesia and retreat, so there is no way to contact her.

After hearing this, Chang Li held out the token and said, "Since it's so valuable, I'll return it to you."

Li Yang didn't go to pick it up, but said: "Fairy Changli, let's take it, maybe your relationship with that temple is far closer than mine."

"What's in the temple?" Zhong Mingzhu thought of the Haotian statue in the front hall, and the words of the woman and Li Yang in the fog, and he already had the answer in his heart, "Could it be another statue?"

Li Yang glanced at her, seemed surprised by her insight, then nodded: "That's right, it's a statue, made of Kunlun jade like Haotian Statue, holding a sword in its hand, it should be carved The lightsaber, and the statue..." She paused, took a deep breath before continuing, "It's a young woman, exactly like Fairy Changli."

No wonder she was so shocked when she saw Li'er, Zhong Mingzhu said thoughtfully, since it was built in the temple of the Huozheng clan, it would be no problem to say he was an old friend.

"I told my grandfather about this, and he showed me the scroll, so we guessed that perhaps Emperor Jian Zhuoguang was not made by a craftsman of the Huozheng clan, but by that woman, and that's why she was in the temple. There is a place in the book, but the scroll is broken, so we can't know who she is." Li Yang glanced at Chang Li, "I didn't think it was strange at first, after all, the oath has been made, and the past is not important. Until In Yanfu, I saw Fairy Changli, except for the cinnabar mole on her forehead, she is almost the same as the statue."

"And she happened to repel Liu Hanyan who was holding the heavy sword at that time. You suspect that she is the reincarnation of that woman or a descendant of her family." Zhong Mingzhu said, "That's why you asked where her home is?"

"Yes." Li Yang admitted, but doubts arose in his heart, and he thought to himself: How could he even know what I asked, and Fairy Changli told me so in detail?

It's just that she quickly put aside that confusion, after all, at this moment, it's not the time to care about these things, and continued: "At the time when the Chongxiao Sword was taken away, Fairy Changli was good at swords, and she was born exactly like that girl. I felt that there should be a connection, so I decided to invite Fairy Changli to come to Zhuoguang Mountain to talk about it anyway, hoping for a turnaround."

"I..." Chang Li showed a hesitant look. In just a short moment, she knew too many things at once, and her thoughts were also messed up.

For a while, he thought about the relationship between himself and that woman, and for a while, he couldn't help but think about what happened to Zhong Mingzhu's eyes, plus the crisis in Zhuoguang Mountain, what he saw and heard before the Chongxiao Sword, and what happened when he saw Zhong Mingzhu's eyes. Jing Xin's inexplicable sense of familiarity... her mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts, making her at a loss what to do.

No matter what you think about first, it will end up being a mess.

She frowned, clenched her hands quietly, and wanted to say something, but she couldn't think of anything. Fragmented syllables filled her mind, and she couldn't even form complete sentences, even the simplest "I don't know".

So confused and at a loss, it seemed that she had returned to hundreds of years ago. She was awake in the ancestral hall, her heart was beating violently, filled with indescribable feelings, and her vision was full of darkness.She didn't know where she was, why she was here, and even a little confused about who she was.

It took her a long time to get out of the chaotic state, and then saw the letter Wu Hui left for herself, and knew that she was in the ancestral hall on the mountain behind Tianyi Peak, and each of those jade plaques was left by a deceased disciple .

At this time, a figure of a man flashed in her mind, and a look of sudden realization appeared on her face, and then she grabbed Zhong Mingzhu's arm and said hurriedly: "I remember, where did I see him, no , not him, but they look alike."
