There are bandits in Zhongshan

In Yanyue City, Mu Yun sat in the courtyard, looking at the clean sky with ecstasy.

It has been a year since she left that ice field, but she still has a sense of unreality. Even in a sunny afternoon, when she closes her eyes, she can still clearly feel the coldness of snowflakes.

It seems that winter has never left.

She did not personally experience the bloody and desperate struggle, but she still felt the powerlessness and oppression that could swallow everything from the few words that Ruoye hurriedly explained.

Even though she is used to the intrigue in Yunzhong City, she is still unavoidably terrified of it.

Even people like Zhong Mingzhu would die for others...

Recalling the person who casually laughed and talked about life and death, complex emotions flashed in her eyes, those unclear pictures slowly unfolded in front of her eyes, and those ups and downs finally turned into melancholy.At best, she and Zhong Mingzhu could only be regarded as making use of each other, but when she heard the news of the other's death, she still couldn't help sighing.

Suddenly, the door behind her was pushed open, and the sound of footsteps approached, and then, two arms wrapped around her shoulders, and a soft call blew past her ears: "Ayun." It was like a warm spring breeze, mixed with a little fragrance of flowers.

Ruoye leaned over and hugged her from behind, resting her chin on her shoulders, her black hair fell down, intertwined with her own strands of hair scattered on her chest, indistinguishable from each other.

She didn't look back, but raised her hand, put it on the back of Ruoye's hand and said, "have you rested?"

In order to be able to better control the Bahuang Mirror, and to better understand the events of the past, after leaving Shuoyuan, Ruoye and Lu Lin went to the Guixu Market in the East China Sea together, and only came back a few days ago. Far away, but Yu Yuan seemed to be aware of their intentions, and set up many ambushes in the road, and the two of them came back safely after encountering dangers one after another.Lu Linxiu was relatively high, and after sending Ruoye back to Yanyi, he turned back to Kunwu to join Zhu Maolin, Baili Ningqing and others.However, Ruoye had suffered a lot from taking blood to save people before, and was exhausted after experiencing this setback. She fell into a coma for several days, and only woke up today.

After they had a secret conversation with the elders of the clan, they learned the ins and outs of the defection of those clansmen.The fragments known to the Tianyi Clan, the Huozheng Clan, and the Mermaid Clan are pieced together, and everything that has been hidden in the dark for thousands of years gradually becomes clear.

Neither Longtian Li nor Mu Danxin knew about the tragedy of destroying the city at the foot of Jiuyi Mountain and the Liuhe Pagoda. They didn't even know about the existence of the Eight Desolation Mirror at first.

Venerable Guhong went to the East China Sea in the past to borrow the Eight Desolation Mirror from the Yu Clan to find the whereabouts of the sword spirit body. At that time, the elders of the Yu Clan were instigated by some tribesmen, thinking that he was here to seek the secret treasure. So he fought with him, causing him to be injured and return without success.

Ruoye suspects that those provocative clansmen were instructed by Yu Yuan, that Venerable Guhong is number one in the world, with him, Yu Yuan will eventually be afraid.Maybe at that time she wanted to use the hands of the Yu Clan to get rid of Guhong Venerable. Although he was escaped by Guhong Venerable, but because of his heavy injury, he began to retreat to heal his injuries after returning to Yunfu Mountain, so that the whole All Tianyi sects fell into Wu Hui's hands.

With Master Shuijing's last words first, Wu Hui confirmed that Changli was most likely to be the sword spirit who entered the world, and then moved him with affection and reason with the great righteousness of the sect, Longtian Li and Mu Danxin had to compromise and put That inhuman way of cultivation was applied to Chang Li.

They had thought of retreating more than once, but because of Wu Hui's majesty and reputation within reach, they made one wrong step and one wrong step.

After knowing Changli's cultivation method, Ruoye said more than once that Tian Yizong was too ruthless.But Mu Yun couldn't help thinking: If it were me, I would be tempted too, maybe even more decisive than them.

Before taking Changli to Yunfu Mountain, Wu Hui had already planted a blood curse on her forehead, except him, no one in the Tianyi Sect knew about it, they all thought it was born with it.Longtian Li always thought that Changli's headaches were caused by the way of practice, so he discussed with Wu Hui whether the persecution could be reduced, but Wu Hui said that Changli had a heavy responsibility, which must be experienced After that, Longtian Li and Mu Danxin were not allowed to go to Tiantai Peak to visit Changli. Whenever he thought of his own weakness, Longtian Li felt extremely regretful.

But if I...

A flash of self-mockery flashed in Mu Yun's eyes, Changli possessed the power she dreamed of, and if she were her, she probably wouldn't even have that little bit of guilt.

"Ayun..." Ruoye's voice sounded again, this time, there seemed to be a little hesitation in his tone.

His thoughts were pulled back, Mu Yun closed his eyes, felt the cool temperature under his hand, sighed lightly, and thought in his heart: If it was in the past, I would definitely not hesitate, but now——

"I have something to discuss with you." The voice continued to hesitate.

Not so now.

"Do you want to go with them?" Mu Yun opened his eyes, and a look of helplessness flashed by.

Ruoye gave a vague "um", rubbed his face against her neck, as if begging for mercy, and said, "She saved me." Her voice was soft, but Ruoye could hear that there was nothing in it There was no room for refusal, "My clansman ruined her home, she, she didn't have to bear it..." Ruoye carefully looked at Mu Yun's side face, trying to guess what she was thinking.

Earlier, when she proposed to go to the East China Sea with Lu Lin, Mu Yun showed disapproval, but Ruoye still went.

At this time, it seems to be a repeat of the situation of that day.But this time, the place Ruoye wants to go is hundreds of times more dangerous than the East China Sea.

A few months ago, there was a huge fluctuation of spiritual power on Jiuyi Mountain. After dozens of consecutive days of thunderstorms, a crack was slowly torn in the air. The monks who were planted nearby by Lu Lin'an witnessed a huge monster entering the place with their own eyes. In the crack.

A few years before the Sea of ​​Sumeru appeared, Yu Yuan actually thought of a way to enter it ahead of time.

After the behemoth entered, the rift slowly closed, and now there is only a thin line left. Once the rift disappears, they will have to wait for several years before they have the opportunity to enter the Sea of ​​Sumeru. Lu Lin returned to Kunwu this time to dispatch people. , planning to break in.Before he left, he didn't ask Ruoye to go with him. The Ruoye family was persuaded by him and sent several elders to Jiuyi Mountain to help him open the passage to the Sumeru Realm.

Joye could have stayed out of it.

The rise and fall of Tianyi Sect and the safety of Changli have nothing to do with her.But she racked her brains and found all kinds of reasons, trying to convince Mu Yun.

She also thought about whether it would be better to just stay in Yanfu like this, the Sumeru Sea was already in danger, and what they were going to find was Yuyuan, and it was very likely that they would never return.

But she saw with her own eyes how the white robe was heading towards despair step by step, and when she thought of the unresolved sadness in those black pupils, she couldn't stand by and watch.

Once, she once felt that although Zhong Mingzhu was vicious, in terms of ruthlessness, Changli was even better.In Shuoyuan, when she found out that Changli had erased the memory of the past, she was surprised, but felt it was a matter of course.

Forgetting the sad memories and re-doing the sword cultivator who has no other distractions is indeed Chang Li's proper style-this is how she knows Chang Li.Not only her, maybe the whole cultivation world thinks so.

Fairy Changli of Tianyi Sect cultivates the Dao of Heartlessness, which is icy cold and unstoppable.

For hundreds of years, almost all monks have viewed Chang Li in this way.

But they don't know that she not only has love, but that love is even stronger than most people.

Many years ago, Ruoye chose to leave because she was dissatisfied with the cooperation between Mu Yun and Zhong Mingzhu. When faced with the unacceptable reality, she ran away.

But Changli didn't even want to escape.

In the Haotian Temple, Ruoye watched Changli regain his memory, read grief and hatred in those turbulent emotions, but had no regrets.

So when escorting Longtian carp back to Yunfu Mountain, Ruoye couldn't help asking about Changli's amnesia, and only then did he know that when Changli knelt in the snow for his dead fellow disciple, the Daoist Society killed Zhong Mingzhu for them revenge, but when Wu Hui asked her if she would like to seal that part of the past, she said:

"The disciple is unwilling."

At that time, she was weak and lost the sword will, so that she couldn't even hold the sword, but she would rather stubbornly pick up the knocked down sword over and over again, rather than deny that relationship.

Even if those memories are written in blood, as long as she realizes their existence, she will feel uncontrollably painful, and she is unwilling to forget them.

When Ruoye was traveling in the world, he heard people use "don't look back until you reach the south wall" to describe stubbornness.

Changli, but he didn't look back when he reached the south wall.

Even though he was bruised and bloody, he didn't want to turn back.

"She's very poor..." Ruoye recalled what he saw that day, his voice trembling a little, "I often think, you often talk about reincarnation, but she didn't do anything wrong, why did she suffer all this, even Not many people know that she is not doing well at all."

Everyone knows that Fairy Changli has a bright future, but who cares what she thinks in her heart.

"Even if her life is in danger, she may never come back." Mu Yun interrupted her chatter, gradually revealing a little weakness in his voice, "Are you going too?"

Ruoye nodded, and pulled Mu Yun's arms closer, a firm look flashed in his eyes, and said, "I want to help her."

Then she heard a shallow sigh, and Mu Yun finally turned his head, stared at her and said, "Then I'll wait for you to come back." Then, she took out a small jade bottle about an inch from the storage ring and put it in Ruo Yes palm, said: "I can't go with you, this, maybe I can help."

Ruoye looked at the thing in his palm, with a look of shock on his face.

That is Changshengyin.

At the beginning, Zhu Maolin was worried that something might go wrong during Mu Yun's recovery, so he practiced the first extra dose. If Mu Yun's condition turned bad one day and his soul disappeared again, that medicine could save her life. Mu Yun has been carrying it with him all these years ,in case for need.Ruoye subconsciously wanted to stuff the jade bottle back, but before she could say the refusal, her mouth was covered.

"Take it." Mu Yun smiled, "I've been fine for a long time. No matter who it is, it's better to save a life than nothing." He said softly in his heart: Under the influence of his ears and eyes, after all, we still have to be with him. It's not the same before.

People will always change, just like Zhong Mingzhu, like Changli, and she is no exception.

The sky above Jiuyi Mountain was covered with dark clouds, like thick ink churning, and in the dark, there was a faint line of white, which was where the gap was.

The Eight Desolation Mirror was placed on the top of the mountain, hanging in mid-air, and the Cangwu Sword was placed under the mirror. The three elders of the Mermaid Clan were divided into three triangles, sitting on the ground, twirling formulas in their hands, chanting words in their mouths, and the ground was densely packed with runes. It has been activated, and the spiritual light gradually shines, and soon envelopes the entire mountain.The spirit patterns complement each other, and finally converge into a point, falling on the Cangwu sword, pulling the blue light in the sword, and slowly guiding it into the Eight Desolation Mirror. After a while, flowing ripples appeared on the dark mirror surface of the Eight Desolation Mirror. Immediately afterwards, a ray of bright light rose up, broke through the dark clouds, and cast it on the shallow mark.

Then, the cloud over there swirled, and after a while, a huge vortex appeared in front of everyone.

Lu Lin led his men ready to go. Baili Ningqing stood by Lu Lin's hand, holding her gun calmly. Compared with usual, she didn't feel so aggressive. Only those who are familiar with her know that although she has a flamboyant temperament, When she is murderous, she tends to calm down, and that is also when she is most dangerous.She met Zhong Mingzhu when she was still a Yuanying cultivator, and it has been 2000 years.

The two often fight, and once the other party is in trouble, they will rush to ridicule even if the most urgent matters are left behind, but no one will question their feelings.Rebels like them often have a few friends who can give their lives to them. Zhong Mingzhu separated his memory and mana back then, but he could rest assured that he was so weak that he could not be easily entrusted to Bailining Qing, now that she is dead, Baili Ningqing can risk her life to avenge her.She didn't say a word at this time, just to save as much energy as possible and do what should be done.Total medium number: Qingyi Pavilion gl

Lu Lin brought a total of a hundred people with him on this trip. He is quite prestigious in the southwest area and has many confidants. Although the manpower he summoned cannot match Yu Yuan, they are at least capable of fighting.Zhu Maolin stood guard at the end, and if someone had an accident, he would be able to rescue them in time.

After the vortex appeared, they were not in a hurry to enter.

That was the appearance of the dark clouds closing in from time to time, and the elders of the Mermaid Clan added several runes to stabilize the vortex completely, and the leader said: "The passage has been opened." They didn't intend to involve too much in the land. At the beginning of the rebellion in Chongxiao, the whole land was almost overturned, but Nanming Pond was still relatively stable, and then the Mermaids migrated to Guixu, farther away from the land, and they became more and more unwilling to get involved in the disputes between monks.Although the patriarch was persuaded by Lu Lin to send these three elders here without revealing their identities, he was only responsible for helping to open the passage to the Sea of ​​Sumeru, and would not set foot in anything else.

Lu Lin nodded slightly, and was about to go to the vortex, when he suddenly heard someone shouting from a distance: "Wait a minute."

As soon as the words fell, a long lake green dress was in sight.

It was Ruoye who came here in a hurry, she hurriedly said hello to the elders of the Shark Clan, and before Lu Lin could speak, she said, "I'm going too."

Baili Ningqing glanced at her nonchalantly, and said slowly: "You are willing to leave your little lover behind, so you are not afraid of dying in it?"

She is a temperamental person, and the most important thing is love. She and Zhu Maolin and Zhong Mingzhu are life-and-death friends, and she will go through fire and water for her, but whether Ruoye is with Zhong Mingzhu or long-distance, the relationship is not considered Intimacy, she gave up her life to help her in Jianlu before, and Baili Ningqing was very grateful to her, and had no intention of putting Ruoye in danger again.In addition, she was saddened by Zhong Mingzhu's parting with Changli, and thinking of the relationship between Ruoye and Mu Yun, she didn't want another person in this world to be sad, so although those words sounded stinging, they actually wanted to persuade Ruoye go back.

Ruoye blushed, hesitated and said: "There are so many people...can you restrain your words..." Then he suddenly realized the other party's intentions, and then he calmed down and said loudly: "You don't have many people, maybe I can How can I help you. And I also told Ah Yun."

Baili Ningqing wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Lin.

"You can really help." He glanced at the elder of the Shark clan who was maintaining the formation, and then at Ruoye, his eyes were cold, but Ruoye vaguely felt that there was a bit of fanaticism in it.

It seemed that there was something in the Sea of ​​Sumeru that he had been waiting for for a long time.

Then, she noticed the breath overflowing from the vortex, and found that her heart beat involuntarily, it was an indescribable expectation, and the blood in her body screamed because of this expectation.

It was an unprecedented feeling.

is the power--

She suddenly woke up, almost terrified by such a self, and lost her voice: "What's in there?"

An almost invisible smile appeared in Lu Lin's eyes. He walked towards the vortex through the void, and said slowly, "It's what you should be."

As soon as the voice fell, his back disappeared in the center of the whirlpool, and the accompanying people followed one by one, first Baili Ningqing, then other monks, and finally, Zhu Maolin walked to Ruoye, and said in a gentle voice: " Do you still want to go?"

Ruoye sighed softly, and said: "He is playing tricks like this, so I naturally have to find out more." After finishing speaking, his figure flickered, and he passed through the vortex and went to that completely different world.

At the entrance of Nanming Villa, Li Yang stood in the snow, looking at the direction of Zhuoguang Mountain and the former Zhuoguang Mountain in the distance.

It was difficult to see the scene on the other side clearly through the sky-high water and the wind and snow, but when she knew that Zhuoguang Mountain had been razed, the scene she saw was exactly the same as when she first came to Nanming Villa. The state of mind is completely different.

Zhuoguang Mountain, where they lived for generations, has been completely destroyed.

The majestic palace built in the middle of the mountain disappeared in the sword energy, only the raging fire under the sword furnace was still burning.They have no home to return to, but the alliance of heaven tens of thousands of years ago is still like a shackle, tightly locking their hands and feet, leaving them nowhere to go.

The Chongxiao Sword is still there, but it fell into the hands of others, and even she doesn't know what will happen to herself and the surviving clansmen.

I heard that the clansmen who fled Zhuoguang Mountain all those years ago decayed and perished. Will they follow in the same footsteps?She thought so, with bitterness on her face.

Going around, but always turning around in this cage, maybe this is punishment, they are after the reunion, and they must pay back the blood debt for him.

No matter how bad it is, when we are all dead, it will be the end. She raised her eyes and looked at the always gray sky. A piece of snow swirled and fell into her eyes.

In order to find the Chongxiao Sword, she once left Shuoyuan, and was fortunate enough to see the warm spring flowers blooming in the southern country. It was completely different from the snowy field. Although she had seen the description in the book, there were thousands of words, and she was no match for her own eyes. see.

It's a pity that most of the people in the clan have never seen it. A faint regret flashed across her heart, and she wondered: Should the clan be dismissed? Even if they can only survive for a few years, it is much better than being trapped in this ice field.

Suddenly, she heard hurried footsteps behind her. Cultivators can travel thousands of miles a day, cast spells when moving, and rarely walk like ordinary people. Li Yang has lived for hundreds of years, and this is the first time he heard such heavy footsteps She turned around curiously, and found that it was Mo Chenxiang.

She thought it was some inexperienced monk, but she didn't expect that the footsteps came from Mo Chenxiang, who was so powerful in the realm of transforming spirits, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

A year ago, Lu Lin and others left Nanming Villa after searching for Zhong Mingzhu to no avail. However, the Huozheng tribe still bears the curse of the Chongxiao Sword and needs someone to take care of them, so Mo Chenxiang stayed.

Li Yang had talked with her a few times because of the issue of whether her clansmen would stay or stay. Mo Chenxiang had always been a gentleman in her heart, but now she described it as messy, with sweat hanging from her forehead, soaking and dripping down her face A few strands of broken hair, as if they ran out in a hurry in the middle of practicing.

"Senior Mo, what happened?" Li Yang asked after bowing to her.

But Mo Chenxiang didn't even look at her, his eyes stared straight into the distance, Li Yang followed her gaze and found that what she was looking at was exactly where he was looking at before.

It was the original location of Zhuoguang Mountain.

She waited for a moment, then hesitated and said, "What's going on there—" Then she stopped abruptly before she could finish speaking.

I saw a flame soaring into the sky. In an instant, it dispelled the snow and fog that had covered the ice sheet for thousands of years. The sky above the sky-filled water was as clear as washing. Li Yang saw the continuous mountains and the flames that dyed the entire opposite bank red. .

The fog soon gathered up again, covering the field of vision, and what fell into the eyes was still the boundless snowfall. Li Yang couldn't help feeling that the scene just now was just his own illusion.But as soon as she turned her head, she saw the tears streaming from the corners of Mo Chenxiang's eyes, and thought to herself:

Probably not an illusion.

——Heart-melting sword furnace, candle dragon's breath, that is the shadow of the sky fire.
