.

In the morning, it’s a new day.

At the entrance of Sanfu Town, Gui Li and the young man stood face to face, Xiao Hui was lying on his shoulder, and the evil beast Taotie was following behind the young man, looking bored.

The young man glanced at Gui Li and said with a smile: "It's rare to get together. I'll say goodbye today. I don't know when I'll see you again. Brother, please take care of yourself."

Gui Li said calmly: 'You too, right?'

The young man seemed to have remembered something and said: 'Now that the world is in chaos, and the situation in the north is getting more and more tense, brother, don't you want to go north to see the excitement?'

Gui Li was slightly surprised and couldn't help but glance at the young man. He saw a calm expression on the young man's face. He didn't seem to have anything special. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Let's talk about it! Why, you are also interested in these fights and killings."

Are you interested?'

The young man smiled slightly, but did not answer. He just cupped his hands and said: 'The world is far away and the world is difficult and dangerous. Let's meet again if we are destined.'

Gui Li returned the courtesy and said: 'Yes.'

The young man laughed, turned around, and Taotie roared low, seeming to acknowledge the monkey Xiao Hui, and then followed him. Xiao Hui, who was lying on Gui Li's shoulder, looked at Taotie's back with some reluctance.

After a few squeaks, the mysterious boy and Taotie disappeared.

Gui Li looked at the direction in which their figures disappeared and was silent for a moment, then slowly turned around. The Sanfu Town in front of him was completely silent, without even a trace of life. Xiao Hui clicked his tongue twice and grabbed the man from behind.

He put the wine bag in his mouth and took a few sips. Last night, the monkey actually found some spirits from the cellar of the tavern.

‘Let’s go! Xiao Hui.’ Gui Li suddenly said so plainly.

Xiao Hui squeaked twice, and put the monkey's palm on Gui Li's hair to fiddle with it. Gui Li looked into the distance with his eyes. After a long time, he quietly said: "That's where we lived together after all. Why don't you still?"

Remember?'

The monkey didn't answer, and I don't know if it understood. It was just that there seemed to be a cold wind blowing through the entire cold street...

Qingyun Mountain, Dazhu Peak.

Tian Buyi, the leader of the Dazhu Peak lineage of Qingyun Sect, is currently walking alone in the Shoujing Hall on Dazhu Peak with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth. He is in a very bad mood, with a faint scowl on his face, and a hint of irritability.

It means that my wife Suru, who has always been considerate, is not on Dazhu Peak at the moment, but has gone to Master Shuiyue on Xiaozhu Peak. As for the disciples, they have always been in awe of him. When they saw Tian Buyi was in a bad mood, they stayed away long ago.

He hid far away, and Song Daren, the only eldest disciple who could barely speak at ordinary times, was nowhere to be seen at this moment.

Tian Buyi knew what that was for. The world was facing a catastrophe at the moment, and no one knew when those terrifying monsters would attack. As one of the leaders of the Qingyun Sect, he was naturally troubled by this. But it was also because

In this way, after repeated persuasion from his wife Suru, and for the happiness of his disciple Song Daren, Tian Buyi finally went to Xiaozhu Peak three days ago to propose marriage to Master Shuiyue for Song Daren and Wenmin.

Unexpectedly, Master Shuiyue seemed to have eaten some kind of gunpowder and exploded immediately. He did not even give face to Suru who was also present, not to mention the miserable-looking disciple Wen Min next to him. He refused directly and made sarcastic remarks.

Tian Buyi.

Tian Buyi was so temperamental that he could not get angry. He had a big quarrel with Master Shuiyue on the top of Xiaozhu Peak and almost got into a fight. In the end, Suru reluctantly pulled him back to Dazhu Peak, while Shuiyue

Master Yue was also stopped on his knees by a group of disciples.

After coming back from this quarrel, Song Daren was naturally extremely depressed and downcast, with a face like a bitter gourd all day long. Tian Buyi was already in a bad mood, and when he saw his appearance, he became even more annoyed. He scolded him several times, saying that he was

If you don’t have a wife, you don’t have a wife. Just devote yourself to cultivating Taoism. You may be a blessing in disguise in the future.

Naturally, Song Daren did not dare to contradict his mentor, but his words of submissiveness and disapproval were written on his face. He obviously still missed Xiaozhufeng's Wen Min. Tian Buyi became even more angry when he saw it, and scolded him even more harshly. In the end, Song Daren

It was almost like a mouse that was afraid of a cat, hiding around all day long, not daring to see Master again.

Suru went out early that day and specifically told Tian Buyi to go to Xiaozhu Peak to persuade Senior Sister Shuiyue. Tian Buyi snorted a few times and sarcastically mocked Shuiyue. Suru ignored him and went straight away.

Tian Buyi was left feeling sulky. However, before leaving, Suru whispered a few words to Tian Buyi in private, which made Tian Buyi somewhat understand why Shui Yue, a woman, was so arrogant that day.

Suru actually said it very simply, she only said: "I heard that the day before we went, the day Lu Xueqi returned to the mountain, Senior Sister Shuiyue summoned Lu Xueqi alone and talked for a long time. In the end, for some reason, Lu Xueqi was severely punished by the senior sister.

If you don't tell me, even the other disciples will be scolded.'

Tian Buyi looked dull on the outside, but he was by no means a slow person. He realized the reason after a moment. But after Suru left, he always thought about being sent to his door and being humiliated. He still couldn't swallow this breath, and he was so angry that it was hard to swallow.

Bear.

The Shoujing Hall was silent at the moment. Only the sound of Tian Buyi's footsteps could be heard. His expression slowly changed with the footsteps. Somehow, later on, his expression became a little strange, as if he had thought of something. Lu Xueqi

He knew about the face-to-face refusal of marriage at the Yuqing Palace in Tongtian Peak, and Tian Buyi had also heard the rumors about Lu Xueqi, the most outstanding talent among the younger generation of disciples.

But what he cared about deep down in his heart was another person among those 'rumors'.

'Ten years.' He sighed softly, looking a little dazed. Sometimes even he felt a little strange. Why on earth did that young disciple who seemed so inconspicuous back then have made him worry about him for so many years?

?

Tian Buyi gave a bitter laugh and shook his head. At this moment, he suddenly felt something. He frowned and looked outside the Shoujing Hall. He only heard the sound of breaking through the sky in the distance. Tian Buyi smiled slightly.

After thinking for a while, he calmed down and walked out.

I saw a flash of white light above Dazhu Peak. It was as fast as lightning and shot straight towards the top of Dazhu Peak. It arrived in front of me in a blink of an eye and landed six feet in front of Tian Buyi. The dazzling white light swayed and dispersed.

The figure of Xiao Yicai from Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Sect appeared.

Xiao Yicai turned around, with a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said, 'I've met Master Tian.'

Tian Buyi nodded and said: 'Well, why are you here? Is there something wrong?'

Xiao Yicai smiled and nodded, but then he glanced around, slightly surprised, and said: 'Uncle Tian, ​​why is it so deserted here? Where are the other junior brothers under you! Why haven't I seen them?'

Tian Buyi thought to himself: "It would be a ghost if you could see them. You don't know where they are hiding." But on the surface, he acted as if nothing was wrong and said calmly: "They are all doing their homework, so there is no need for them."

Come out. My place here is not like your Tongtian Peak, where there is a large population, so it is common not to see anyone.'

Xiao Yicai was startled, and heard that Tian Buyi's tone seemed a bit unhappy, but he was quite deep in the city, so he looked like he didn't hear it, as if he didn't realize it. He smiled and said: "Oh, that's it. Master Tian, ​​my disciple today

I am here to pay a visit to my uncle as ordered by my mentor. I have a few questions that I would like to ask you.'

Tian Buyi frowned, was surprised, and said in astonishment: 'What are you asking me for? Senior brother Daoxuan is a scholar of heaven and man, and has a good understanding of nature. What else do you want to ask this incompetent junior brother of mine?'

Xiao Yicai smiled slightly, but did not speak. He just looked at Tian Buyi. Tian Buyi understood and said: "Then go in and talk!" After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the Shoujing Hall, Xiao Yicai followed him. Suddenly Tian Buyi got up.

After a pause, he turned around sharply and looked towards the room on the other side of the disciple's house.

Xiao Yicai was a little strange and looked over there, but saw nothing. He couldn't help but ask: 'What's the matter, Uncle Tian?'

Tian Buyi hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: 'No, it was my eyesight. How could he...' He suddenly coughed and said calmly: 'Let's go in and talk!'

Xiao Yicai was confused by what he heard and couldn't help but look over there again, but he saw rows of houses neatly arranged and silent. It looked very normal. He didn't think much at the moment and just followed Tian Buyi.

Went to Shoujing Hall.

After the figures of the two people disappeared in the Shou Jing Hall, a calm atmosphere enveloped the top of Dazhu Peak again. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a figure flashed in the corridor of the disciple's house, and it turned out to be Gui Li.

He was seen silently staring in the direction of Shoujing Hall for a moment, then turned around and walked slowly inside along the once very familiar corridor.

Probably because of the afternoon time! No other disciples were seen on Dazhu Peak. In my memory, what I heard most often here in the past, except for the clear laughter of my junior sister Tian Linger, was Du Bishu's slightly depressed voice.

He yelled, because he must have lost another bet. Then, the rich laughter of Senior Brother Song Daren and others would burst out, and several other senior brothers would also join in the joke, and the little disciple who has always been the smallest and most inconspicuous! I must have

It must be the knowing smile in the corner, right?

Once upon a time, the past time was gently turned over by the slow footsteps, and those old events seemed to be engraved in every brick, tile, pillar and stone tower here, echoing around him.

Gui Li's expression gradually changed from the dull look at the beginning, and the expression that was once shrouded like ice quietly receded. The past time turned out to be so touching, and even after many years, he still couldn't forget it.

If, if... if nothing changes...

He stood in the corridor illuminated by faint sunshine, and slowly sat down on the low railing of the corridor. The warm and warm sunshine of Dazhu Peak shone on his face, as if it were ten years ago.

…

There were footsteps and voices coming from far behind. As they got closer, it turned out to be He Dazhi, the fourth disciple of the Dazhu Peak Sect, and Du Bishu, the sixth disciple. The two people were walking towards here side by side, and the moment their figures appeared, the ghost

Li had suddenly disappeared like a ghost. The mountain wind blew by, and the branches and vegetation were fluttering. No one knew where he was hiding.

He Dazhi and Du Bishu obviously didn't notice anything. They talked in low voices and walked slowly over. Among them, Du Bishu was holding a wooden bucket with half a bucket of water in his hand, and there was a rag next to it. It looked like

He looked like he was going somewhere to clean up. He watched the two of them walking forward, and soon they came to the door of a room. Du Bishu shrugged his shoulders to He Dazhi, and He Dazhi smiled, and the two of them walked together

Went in.

A moment later, Gui Li's figure appeared from a corner outside the corridor, looking ahead with complicated eyes. The room that the two former senior brothers entered turned out to be the room where he used to live when he was still a young disciple of Dazhu Peak, Zhang Xiaofan.

room. But, shouldn’t that room have been abandoned for many years? Why did the two senior brothers still go in?

Ghost Li floated over quietly.

As if he suddenly fell into a dream, he was stunned at the door. This small courtyard was exactly the same as before. There were still gravel paths, green grass, and even the small pine tree.

It's still there, but it's grown a lot thicker over the years.

The sound of water came from the room, and then the voices of Du Bishu and He Dazhi came out: "Fourth Senior Brother, please tell me, after so many years, why does Master still want us to clean this room? This is not intentionally making me suffer."

What!'

He Dazhi laughed and scolded: "You brat, you want to be lazy again, don't you? I can tell you that Master is getting angry recently because of Senior Brother's affairs! Don't mess with him, otherwise Master will steal you."

No skin.'

Du Bishu laughed twice and said: "Brother, you are kidding me again. How dare I mess with Master. It's just that Junior Brother has been away for more than ten years, but Master still orders us to keep this place as it is and clean it every day."

I really don't know what the old man is thinking about?'

The figure standing outside the house stood blankly and slowly lowered his head.
