At the foot of Qingyun Mountain

The sky is high and the clouds are light. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, all you can see is blue. The gentle breeze is blowing, which is refreshing.

Lu Xueqi looked at it for a long time. There was no one around. Naturally, no one would notice that at the foot of the secluded mountain, there was such a beautiful woman quietly watching the sky and the breeze blowing. Her shawl hair was fluttering gently, and she looked slightly embarrassed as she passed by.

thin face

Master Shuiyue's instructions before leaving echoed in her ears.

'From the conversation between Senior Brother Daoxuan and Senior Brother Wan, we knew that all the masters of the Qingyun Sect would tell this secret to the next generation of disciples who would pass on the throne while they were still awake.

The purpose of this death is for the reputation of Qingyun Sect and the common people in the world, and to avoid causing too many killings. When the last resort comes, the disciple who passes the position can kill his master..." This time, for some reason, Senior Brother Daoxuan didn't tell Xiao Yicai this.

The secret, in my opinion, is due to two reasons. One: before Senior Brother Daoxuan made up his mind to tell Xiao Yicai this secret, he was already backlashed by the demonic spirit of the Zhuxian Ancient Sword; secondly, Senior Brother Daoxuan relied on his profound Taoism.

Especially in a fierce battle ten years ago, he used the Zhuxian Sword Formation but did not see the inner demon backlash, so he thought he could resist it this time. By the time the real demon came back to bite him, it was already too late. "It's just that although

Things have changed like this, but as the children of Qingyun, we cannot stay out of it in any case. Tian Buyi is missing, and Junior Sister Su is in chaos. I am the only one who can make this critical decision. I just hope that everything will end on the mountain. You don't have to get involved, but if it really happens.

I found them at the foot of the mountain. You should also shoulder this important responsibility with all your heart. The ancestors of Qingyun have spirits and will definitely protect you and me, master and disciple. Lu Xueqi slowly opened her eyes and took a deep breath.

She turned her head and looked around. The majestic mountains and rivers behind her were handsome and tall. The mountains in the distance were undulating and dark, and the dangerous rocks up close were abrupt. Everywhere was graceful and beautiful.

Towering into the clouds, towering over the world

It’s for Qingyun

A faint and warm smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth. This mountain range was, after all, the place where she grew up. There were teachers she respected, close senior sisters and junior sisters, and what she once had...

remember

She turned around and walked away, her white clothes fluttering like snow. The world is so big and the sky is infinite. Even if she has a peerless appearance and a world-class hero, she may still be just a drop in the ocean.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that I have come down the mountain under the command of my division commander, but there is no clear place to go. Although I have a heavy responsibility, I don't know where to go to complete this task. Think about it, there are several

quite ridiculous

Tianya is held quietly in the hand, but there is no familiar feeling. It should be said that it has become a part of the body. The faint blue light has also been condensed into the scabbard. Each person has a sword and walks slowly.

Where to go?

The world is so big

There was a fork in the road in front of her, and Lu Xueqi stopped. It wasn't that she didn't know the way. Among the Qingyun Sect disciples, she was the one who went down the mountain more frequently. She had walked on the flat road in front of her countless times.

The most convenient way out of Qingyun Mountain leads directly to Heyang City, the largest town at the foot of Qingyun Mountain.

The other fork in the road seems to have been abandoned for a long time, with weeds growing all over it. Only a section near the fork in the road is vaguely visible. Looking in from a distance, the distance is already covered by weeds.

In fact, there are countless such trails and mountain roads that go down from Qingyun Mountain. Many of these trails are made by villagers living in villages near the foot of Qingyun Mountain. They go up the mountain to cut firewood or pick wild fruits for their livelihood. There are also many roads, because

For various reasons, over the years, it has become this desolate look.

Who knows where this road leads, and who will remember who has walked it before?

Lu Xueqi shook her head slightly and smiled bitterly in her heart. After returning from southern Xinjiang and being separated from that person, her state of mind has really changed a lot.

She shook her head slightly, trying to put this thought away, and was about to walk back to the road. At this time, villagers in twos and threes came from the other end of the road, old and young. Judging from their clothes, most of them were wearing clothes.

The ax, hemp rope and shoulder pole seemed to be woodcutter from the nearby village who went up to the mountain to cut firewood.

When they got closer, when these woodcutter saw Lu Xueqi, they all stepped aside with a look of respect on their faces. The disciples of Qingyun Sect were already respected by people within hundreds of miles around, not to mention Lu Xueqi's peerless appearance, so ethereal.

Immortals are something that people dare not look at

Lu Xueqi stopped, nodded slightly to them in return, and then planned to leave.

At this moment, suddenly one of the old woodcutter, whose hair had turned white but was still energetic, seemed to be very enthusiastic and said with a smile: "Girl, don't you know the road?" Lu Xueqi paused slightly.

, stopped, looked around, glanced at the old woodcutter, hesitated, and shook his head slightly.

But before she could speak, the enthusiastic old woodcutter said: "I know you immortal cultivators from Qingyun Sect are very powerful. You fly around a lot of the time, but when it comes to the road under your feet, sometimes

On the contrary, they are not as familiar to us country people." When the woodcutters next to him heard this, they all laughed. Looking at their kind faces, Lu Xueqi felt a warmth in her heart for some reason, and the steps she was about to take stopped again.

down

The old woodcutter chuckled and said, "The road in front of you leads to Heyang City in the south. It is the busiest place within a hundred miles nearby. Once you get there, it will be much easier to go to other places."

As he said that, he pointed to the abandoned path and said, "Don't go down that road. It was a lively village many years ago, but now it's all destroyed and there's no one left." Lu Xueqi smiled slightly and said:

'I understand, thank you, husband.' The old woodcutter waved his hand, laughed twice, and continued walking towards Qingyun Mountain with the others.

At the same time, a woodcutter who was slightly younger than him sighed and said: "There used to be a temple in that village. I heard it was very spiritual. More than ten years ago, my wife and I went there to worship the Bodhisattva and ask for a child. As a result,

Sure enough, it existed, but it's a pity that it's gone now." The old woodcutter nodded and said, "Yes, I remember it too. It's a pity that the temple is gone..." The words gradually became lower, and their figures gradually faded away, disappearing in the distance.

In the mountains and forests, their cheerful and generous laughter seemed to be still there in the breeze blowing in the distance. Lu Xueqi turned around, the smile on her face was still there. Somehow, her mood seemed much better.

Smiling, she raised her head and walked towards the main road.

Her steps were originally brisk, but for some reason, her pace suddenly slowed down. Her delicate eyebrows wrinkled slightly, deep in her heart, it seemed as if something important suddenly passed by, but she couldn't catch it for a moment.

Deep in the memory, something seems to have quietly awakened...

She stood still and remained still. The scene just now was quickly replayed in her mind, and the woodcutter's words echoed again: "Don't go down that road. It was also a lively place many years ago."

The village, but now it is all destroyed and there is no one left..."There used to be a temple in that village, and I heard it was very spiritual..." Lu Xueqi suddenly felt a shock all over her body. After a moment, she slowly turned around and said again

Yes, looking at the path that is overgrown with grass, as if it has been lost in the afterimage of time...

How many things can be changed in ten years? Appearance, mood, or hatred?

No one can understand others, and sometimes even oneself cannot truly understand it. But this is the only way to truly change.

Because there is no road here

The densely growing weeds, growing year after year, cover up the past history and witness the ruthlessness of time until a white and lonely figure quietly approaches the dusty place.

Among the weeds, you can still vaguely see the ruins of the ruins. In the breeze blowing in your face, there is no longer the bloody smell of the past, but only the slightly green and fragrant smell of the weeds.

After passing through one broken door after another, looking at the stone steps and walls that were swaying here and there, quietly covered with moss, all the laughter and joy that I had during my lifetime, and the happiness that I once had, have all disappeared with the wind?

Lu Xueqi's face was slightly pale, and her slender and delicate hands held Tianya tightly. In this abandoned village, it seemed as if someone's eyes were watching her quietly. She even felt like she couldn't breathe.

a feeling of

But she never stopped, just walking quietly, passing every house. Once upon a time, who still remembers the people here?

Until she saw that ruined temple

Unlike the surrounding environment, for some reason, there was no grass growing around the dilapidated temple. It was a room, but it was better to say it was a few pillars. They were just fallen on the ground, and the remaining broken stones were scattered in twos and threes.

On the block, there is still a vague appearance of a statue of a god, and only then can we see where this place once was.

Lu Xueqi walked over slowly

There are no weeds or moss. Everything here seems incompatible with the surroundings. I don’t know why. Even the weeds that grow so tenaciously don’t want to enter here.

Or is it that all the resentment and resentment in the past are gathered in this place?

So in the dead of night, will there be people crying and whispering, talking about the past?

Lu Xueqi suddenly turned around, and at some point, tears flashed in her eyes.

Caomiao Village

This place has long been forgotten...

She quietly sat down in the corner, motionless, as if she was quietly listening to something, or feeling something.

There was wind blowing in the distance, blowing her black hair and gently fluttering around her temples.

The sun rises and the moon sets, morning and evening, day and night, morning and evening, stars change

The white clouds in the sky are like dogs, disappearing like shooting stars, time is like water, and finally go away like this, never stopping for anyone.

In the distant weeds, the sound of insects came from nowhere. Apart from the sound of the wind, this was the most lively sound here. Maybe, in another ten years, this place will become a prosperous place again?

Or, it's still the same old thing

Who cares?

For three days, Lu Xueqi sat quietly in this remote place for three days. The world was full of constraints and heavy responsibilities, but it turned out that only in such a place could she find a place to breathe and escape.

Quietly, just treat it as indulgence and let yourself hide

But, she still has to leave after all

The white clothes swayed and came quietly. Lu Xueqi's figure reappeared, leaving the dilapidated small temple and walking past the doors of the huts under the ruined walls. For some reason, her eyes looking at this place seemed to contain Yiyi.

Reluctant affection

In the distant sky, sky clouds were floating, and among the vague clouds, as if blown by the wind, there was a white line quietly crossing the sky. Lu Xueqi took one last look at these houses, turned around and left, and never looked back. That figure in white clothes was fluttering.

, walking away quietly in the grass

Above the sky, the white clouds are still silent

Just from among the clouds, a swift glimmer of light suddenly flashed out, silently and quickly, with a few lingering white clouds on the clouds, dispersed in the air and quickly, this light fell on this abandoned small village.

'Zhizhi, zhizhi...' The familiar monkey cry made the three-eyed gray-haired monkey jump to the ground and look around. It was obvious that it was far happier in this wild place than in the heart of Huqi Mountain.
