Yu Hongchen

Here, Xie Liuchen and other Yunshan disciples came to rest in the courtyard prepared for them by Tianyi Pavilion. After being told that night restrictions had been opened outside the courtyard and that they were not allowed to enter and leave at will, the disciples of Tianyi Pavilion politely retreated and stayed behind. Give them autonomy.

Since the master's house has imposed restrictions, all the disciples have no choice but to be hospitable and do whatever they want, they only huddle in the courtyard and chat, and dare not go out without authorization.Listening to the disciples whispering to each other, Xie Liuchen knew that they would live in Tianyi Pavilion for a total of three days. According to Elder Yun Xiang, in order to improve their practice, they would be arranged to compete with the disciples of Tianyi Pavilion in due course during these three days.It must be lively tomorrow.

Different sects have different lodging courtyards, and Tianyi Pavilion seems to be a place of small size, but there are enough rooms. After chatting for a while, the disciples felt bored and dispersed one after another. They went back to their own rooms to practice, even Fang Jinglin I also went down early to rest due to the fatigue of the journey.

The courtyard was suddenly deserted.Xie Liuchen sat quietly in the yard, and waited for all the disciples to leave before entering his room, hanging the door latch, and then took out the two teleportation talismans that had been hidden on his body for ten years from his arms.

For him, the elder is not around, which is a rare opportunity.

As the talisman was ignited, a cloud of smoke blew past the room, Xie Liuchen's figure disappeared in the room instantly, no one noticed anything unusual, and the young man Xiu Xiu in the next room was sleeping soundly.

Almost at the same moment, the sound of waves crashing on the shore rang in his ears, and Xie Liuchen opened his eyes, and it turned out that he had arrived in Beilu, a hundred thousand miles away.

The waves were rolling, the moon was dim, and there was a person standing firmly on the reef off the coast of Hokuriku.Wearing a black robe, surrounded by black mist, he was exactly the man in black robe that Xie Liuchen had seen ten years ago on the eve of going up the mountain.

The man was dressed in a large black robe, covering his facial features with his hands, and the voice under the black robe was as lifeless as a ghost.

"This is the first time you've seen me in ten years, but is there any good news?"

Xie Liuchen looked at him secretly under the moonlight, and when he heard him speak, he quickly lowered his head, took two steps back as if frightened, stood on another rock, shrunk his neck again, and murmured: "No, no, I I haven't been down the mountain, and I haven't found where he is all these years..."

"No?! How dare you come to me without you! How dare you waste a high-grade teleportation talisman!" The black-robed man's voice suddenly became sharp, and the black mist-like demonic energy instantly filled the entire coast. Xie Liuchen could only feel the demonic aura Qi was on the verge of moving, as if he wanted to get into his limbs, panicked, and hurriedly stepped back three steps, trying to calm himself down, "I, I came to you just to confirm one thing."

The man in black waved his hand impatiently: "Say!"

Xie Liuchen said: "Before you went up the mountain, you once said that I was a member of the demon clan, why did I grow up in the world?"

The eerie and ghostly voice of the man in black came from under the black cloak: "15 years ago, the beast king in the barren valley took advantage of our family's 33th house and [-]rd cave and sneaked out of the valley. In order to take revenge on our family, he took you away before he left. , abandon the mortal world."

Xie Liuchen was puzzled: "Then, why didn't the beast king just kill me?"

The black-robed man was silent for a while, and then said: "Since ancient times, most of the orcs have not opened their minds, but only one of them can cultivate a human form and become a beast king. It must be that he took off his original animal nature and felt compassion for you when he saw you as a baby." heart."

"Is this true?" Xie Liuchen was not moved when he heard this, but felt that there were many doubts in it, but his mind was in a mess, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he whispered, "Abduct me but then abandon me ? What is the purpose of this?"

The man in black sneered suddenly, with an unspeakably eerie voice: "Then how do I know? You came here today just to ask such trivial matters? If that's the case, go back first!"

Xie Liuchen hurriedly said: "Wait, wait... Then, what should I do from now on?"

The black-robed man wanted to leave, but he turned back after hearing what he said, with a cool voice: "You also know that there is a large array of guards on Yunshan Mountain, and my family has not dared to approach you for ten years, let alone connect with you. I can rely on you to act according to circumstances... Since you are so incompetent, I didn't expect you to be able to rescue the Demon Lord, so you should remain as you are and stay in Yunshan."

These flirtatious words confirmed Xie Liuchen's conjecture, and he thought to himself: "It seems that he really treats me like a pawn, so he gave such a wrong statement to fool me. If you really want to find me, how can you care about mere one?" Protecting the mountain? How can I be so indifferent when I am one of my own? Throwing a blood book of demons and wanting me to help you die? He only thinks that I am easy to deceive, but unfortunately he does not know that I am no longer the ignorance I used to be Toddler."

Xie Liuchen lowered his head, his voice was filled with obvious panic: "But...the sect masters are too smart, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that one day they will find out my identity...then what should I do?"

The black-robed man became more impatient, and his voice became louder: "If you find out, you will find out. It is your honor to die for the glory of our clan. What is there to be coy about, greedy for life and afraid of death?!"

"But the masters—"

"Hmph! The bullshit elders in the head of the sect, what kind of Taoism do you have? They are just a group of people who are trying to gain fame and deceive the world! The world's cultivators are the most selfish, and they keep saying that the Dao is ruthless, but they are all excuses! When the world suffers and suffers. Which cave is free and easy?!"

Xie Liuchen hastily bowed his head and said yes, his whole body almost huddled on the rocks in panic, but he didn't care, thinking: "I don't know where this person's hostility comes from? What kind of cultivator is ruthless, what right do you have to scold the monk? "

The black-robed man cursed indiscriminately and then said: "You go back, since the teleportation talisman is used, there is no need to meet in the future, I will find someone to connect with you if there is something to do."

Xie Liuchen hesitated again: "I, I have one last question."

"Say it!"

"That set of magic skills... I don't know why, I, I can't practice anymore..."

"Then stop practicing!"

The man in black coldly dropped these words, his voluminous robe shook, and disappeared in the black mist in an instant.

"Hey, I haven't finished asking, don't leave—" Xie Liuchen kept calling, but the black-robed man ignored him any more.

"Ugh--"

As soon as the black-robed man left, Xie Liuchen immediately lost his submissive attitude, lowered his brows and lowered his eyes, and stood quietly. After a long while, he moved his legs and started to walk.

Taking advantage of the rare opportunity to act alone, he sneaked out to meet the black-robed man who coaxed him back then, pretending to be terrified, so as to get more truth from the black-robed man, but he didn't want the black-robed man to even I didn't even bother to pretend, and clearly showed the intention of letting him fend for himself.

A chess piece has one-twelfth of the use value, but he is just a discarded piece that has no use value.

Thinking about it again, since the man in black regarded him as an abandoned son, why did he say those seemingly convincing words to him back then?What is it for?

Xie Liuchen couldn't think hard, he walked and stopped on the reef, back and forth.

The re-meeting with the man in black after ten years reminded him of many childhood scenes in Zhoujia Village. In a trance, he recalled the master Nan Xing who raised him.

The small and simple courtyard of Zhoujia Village carried his six years of childhood memories. Many unknown herbs were planted in that courtyard all the year round, and the smell of medicine infiltrated every corner.

Master Nan Xing is a young man with gentle features. He has been in bed for many years and can't hide his handsome demeanor. There is always a sadness in his eyes that he can't understand. He always calls his name with a smile and hugs him with his thin and warm body; He hugged him on his lap, taught him to write stroke by stroke, hugged him at night to lull him to sleep, told him that if he traveled through the stars in the sky, he could go back in time and meet his lover...

At that time, he didn't know that Master Nan Xing was seriously ill. He thought they would stay in Zhoujia Village forever, but he didn't expect Master Nan Xing to die when he was six years old.

When he was dying, he caressed his cheek, and said to him who was crying at a loss beside the bed, don’t be sad, I just went to find my lover, I’ve found the next master for you, he will treat you very well ...

Master Nan Xing finally left with a smile. After his death, the herbs he planted also died.

And Master Nan Xing didn't tell him the truth until his death: Who is he?Why did you grow up in Zhoujia Village?Why is there a huge force that is sealed away?

It is said that Dao is ruthless, but how can family relationships be easily let go?He wanted to investigate his own life experience wholeheartedly, and that was why.

On the shore, a lonely figure walked alone with a lonely look.

He gazed at the starry sky, and thought about the people who passed away through the dark night. His childhood memories were not very clear, leaving only a sad and lonely afterimage.

Master Nan Xing, how many secrets have you hidden in me...

The waning moon was hidden in the clouds, smudged the edge of the sea of ​​clouds into a bright silver light.

The mountains are rugged, bare and no trees are seen, the wind is whimpering, the waves are beating on the stones, stirring up waves and flowers, and the echo of the low tide is mixed with a faint sound of sword clanging. People who are immersed in the past are awakened by this sound and suddenly return Come on.

Cultivators have always had excellent hearing, but Xie Liuchen couldn't hear this voice. It was obvious that the place where the fight was fought was still a certain distance away.Hokuriku was deserted and there were few people. In addition, it was midnight at this time. I thought he was the only one on the coast, but I didn't expect that there were other people present.

Who is it?

Without waiting for him to think too much, the clanging of swords and swords gradually approached.

Xie Liuchen still had the last teleportation talisman in his hand, so he could only support his trip back to Tianyi Pavilion. After thinking for a while, he decided to hide aside and wait for the group to leave before taking action.

He held his breath, turned over a few times, and flew to a large stretch of jagged rocks, then dived into the horns formed by the staggered rocks, properly covered his figure, restrained his consciousness, and stared at the flat ground in front of him through the gaps in the rocks.It is a piece of yellow sand that is very different from the reefs on the seaside. The sand and stones on the flat ground are soft, and it is a beach washed by the waves day after day.

Not long after, several figures quietly approached and stopped on the sandy ground. Xie Liuchen stared and saw that there were three monks chasing and killing a person.

A demon with a skin color very different from that of the human race.

The two male cultivators were dressed in strong attire, bowed their waists and held down the demon who was thrown to the ground.The man's head was pressed frontally on the sand, and he couldn't help whimpering and struggling, his body was covered with scars and blood, his hands were bruised, and the sand he was holding tightly could not stop flowing from between his fingers, obviously in extreme pain.

With his back to Xie Liuchen's side, stood a not tall monk, holding a long sword and gradually approaching, the point of the sword was always pointing at the person on the ground.

The body of the sword is red, the blade is like autumn frost, red liquid seeps from the tip of the sword, and drops of blood hit the yellow sand——

Drop by drop is a sign of death, indicating that the outcome of this assassination hidden in the night has been decided, the winner stands awe-inspiring, and the loser is dying.

One of the male cultivators turned back to the sword-wielding cultivator and said, "It took so much effort to catch this man, does the Taoist priest really not need to interrogate him more carefully?"

Another person also echoed: "The devil is cunning, our team has worked hard to track down for months, day and night, and set up a killing trap when the demons let down their vigilance, and finally caught this person in Beilu, maybe the sect master—— —”

The standing sword-wielding cultivator was holding a long sword, and before the male cultivator finished speaking, he said "no need" in a cold voice, then raised his sword and dropped it, slashing across the throat of the struggling man on the ground, sternly and harshly.

After the red light passed, the demon first convulsed and kicked wildly, then the sound of whimpering disappeared immediately, and the hands holding the fine sand hung down weakly, motionless.

He sealed his throat with a sword, and died silently.

The two male cultivators let go of the demon's body, stood up, and said nothing.

"I will explain to the master." The monk put away his long sword, left a cold sentence, turned around and took the lead, leaving only a bloody corpse on the ground.

The monk originally turned his back to Xie Liuchen, but when he turned around, he revealed an elegant and delicate face, which appeared in front of Xie Liuchen brightly.

Xie Liuchen's breathing stopped suddenly, and a turbulent wave suddenly set off in his heart.

This face, with handsome features and fair complexion, was still talking and laughing with Xie Liuchen during the day, and had friendly conversations all the way, which was most familiar to Xie Liuchen at this time.

Who would have thought that they would meet again here at night——Ji Qing, why is he here...
