This dream seems like a thousand years have passed.

He walked alone in the darkness until he saw the village, a sunny and familiar place. He ran away, and those familiar faces looked at him with smiles and joked.

The fresh air seemed to sweeten his heart, and he couldn't help but roll around freely on the grass beside the village, laughing to his heart's content.

Suddenly, there were many more children around, and they rushed towards me. The always cheerful Jingyu laughed and said, "Are you convinced, are you convinced?"

Accept it or not┅┅

He whispered alone, as if repeating the words he said back then.

The sky and the earth suddenly darkened, with black clouds pressing down, as low as the sky falling down. All the people around suddenly disappeared, and the warm villages in the distance suddenly disappeared. Darkness descended on the earth, and there was only a faint beam of light, shining on the frightened people. Helpless child┅┅

He suddenly exclaimed: "I'm convinced, I'm convinced┅┅"

I turned over and sat up, sweating profusely and panting.

"Xiaofan, what's wrong with you?" A familiar voice from the side seemed to be startled, grabbed Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder, and asked urgently.

Zhang Xiaofan gasped and looked to the side. Lin Jingyu was sitting in front of the bed, looking nervous and haggard, staring at him. Zhang Xiaofan was startled for a moment and looked around. This was a small guest room with simple furnishings. , there are only ordinary tables, chairs and a wooden bed in the room. I am lying on the bed at the moment, covered with a thin quilt.

He lowered his head, collected himself, and said, "It's nothing, I had a nightmare."

Lin Jingyu looked at him, moved the corners of his mouth, and slowly let go of his hands.

Zhang Xiaofan was silent for a moment and said, "Where are we?"

Lin Jingyu hesitated for a moment and said, "We have left Liubo Mountain and are now in Changhe City on the East China Sea. This is a small inn in Changhe City."

Zhang Xiaofan was silent.

The room suddenly seemed very quiet. After a while, Lin Jingyu suddenly said: "Xiaofan, do you have anything to say to me?"

Zhang Xiaofan's shoulders seemed to shake, and he raised his eyes to look at him. This childhood playmate was looking deeply at him, but the look in his eyes was so unfamiliar.

He lowered his head again and said slowly: "No, Jingyu."

Lin Jingyu frowned and was about to say something, but finally endured it.

After another period of silence, Zhang Xiaofan said, "Why are we back?"

Lin Jingyu sighed and said: "That day on Liubo Mountain, after you passed out, everyone looked at each other in shock when they saw your appearance. Finally, my master, Master Tian and others discussed it and brought You retreated first. There seemed to be some confusion in the Demon Sect, and the attention seemed to be on that monster, so we returned to Changhe City smoothly without any obstruction."

Zhang Xiaofan was silent for a moment and said, "How long have I been like this?"

Lin Jingyu said: "It's been three days."

Zhang Xiaofan was silent again for a while. Lin Jingyu looked at him and felt irritated. He couldn't help blurting out: "Xiaofan, what's going on with you? How could you do this?"

"Jingyu!" Zhang Xiaofan suddenly shouted loudly, interrupting Lin Jingyu's question.

Lin Jingyu was stunned for a moment and looked at him.

Zhang Xiaofan's voice was also a little hoarse. He didn't look at Lin Jingyu's expression and eyes. He just lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Stop asking. Can you please stop asking?"

Lin Jingyu gritted his teeth, stood up, looked at Zhang Xiaofan for a long time, and finally turned around and walked out. But when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly turned around and said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Xiaofan, don't worry, no matter what Whatever your reasons are, I believe you and I will definitely ask Master to speak for you!"

Zhang Xiaofan sat on the bed, motionless, as if he had not heard anything. Lin Jingyu glanced at him again, turned around and walked out resolutely. There seemed to be people standing outside the door. Lin Jingyu whispered to them a few words, Then his footsteps gradually faded away.

The room was very quiet.

I don’t know how long it took, Zhang Xiaofan slowly raised his head, lifted the quilt, and saw that he was still wearing the clothes he wore on Liubo Mountain, and no one had changed for him. He subconsciously stretched out his hand towards the bed. He touched his head, but suddenly his hand stopped in mid-air.

There was nothing there.

The fire stick that had been following him all these years disappeared.

He sat in a daze, his lips trembling slightly.

Suddenly, he quickly got out of bed, ran straight to the door of this room, and opened the door.

The two people standing outside the door turned around in shock. They were Song Daren and Du Bishu.

When they saw Zhang Xiaofan, their expressions seemed a little strange. After a while, Du Bishu finally smiled and said, "Little, little junior brother, are you awake?"

A ray of sunlight shone down from the sky behind them and hit Zhang Xiaofan's face. Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt a little dizzy and his body swayed.

Song Daren's expression changed, and he subconsciously wanted to step forward to help him, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he suddenly retracted it.

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned and looked at him. This senior brother who had loved him since childhood had a face as pale as paper.

The corner of Song Daren's mouth moved, and finally he said slowly: "Junior brother, you are physically injured. You'd better recuperate in the room first and don't go out and walk around."

Zhang Xiaofan slowly retracted his body, and just when he was about to turn around, he suddenly couldn't help it and suddenly said: "Elder brother, where is my fire stick?"

The expressions of Song Daren and Du Bishu both changed. After a while, Song Daren said calmly: "Junior brother, your magic weapon has been temporarily put away by the master. You, don't worry."

Zhang Xiaofan didn't say anything more, turned around and closed the door gently.

In another corner of the inn, in a secluded room, Taoist Cangsong, Tian Buyi and Xiao Yicai were sitting here together.

On the small round table between the three of them, there was a blue-black fire stick placed quietly.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out and took the fire stick, but it was Cangsong Taoist. He put the fire stick in front of him and stroked it gently with his hand. When his finger touched the blood-devouring bead at the front, At this moment, there seemed to be light flickering in his eyes. After a while, he said calmly: "So this is the blood-devouring bead?"

Tian Buyi suddenly snorted coldly.

Xiao Yicai looked at Tian Buyi, then at Taoist Cangsong, and said: "Two uncles, what should I do now? Can you please give me some advice?"

Taoist Cangsong glanced at Xiao Yicai and said calmly: "Senior nephew Xiao, you have always been resourceful and decisive, why don't you tell me?"

Xiao Yicai shook his head and said: "This matter is of great concern, I don't know what to say!"

Taoist Cangsong glanced at Tian Buyi's livid face and said, "The most troublesome thing now is the fellow Taoists from Tianyin Temple who keep asking us how Zhang Xiaofan can practice the true Dharma of Brahma Prajna. They are so menacing. If the leading Dharma Minister hadn't understood some things and tried his best to suppress them, I'm afraid they would have asked us for help!"

Tian Buyi said coldly: "Do they want to take someone? They have to wait until we ask clearly. If something happens to my disciples, it will not be their turn to intervene."

Taoist Cangsong frowned and wanted to say something, but Xiao Yicai had already said, "Speaking of this, Uncle Tian, ​​I met Senior Brother Li from Fenxiang Valley this morning, and he, he also asked for someone from us! "

Taoist Cangsong was startled, Tian Buyi rolled his eyes strangely, and said angrily: "What does it have to do with them in Fenxiang Valley?"

Xiao Yicai said in a low voice: "Uncle Tian, ​​please calm down. In fact, I also think that Fenxiang Valley is making trouble unreasonably." Senior Brother Li Xun said that that day, he and Junior Brother Zhang went into the lair of a group of demon foxes in Black Rock Cave to track down a piece of information they had from Fenxiang Valley. The treasure, it turned out that Junior Brother Zhang arrived first. When they arrived, they saw that the demon fox was dead, but the treasure was nowhere to be seen. However, Junior Brother Zhang said that he had never seen this treasure. At that time, they felt strange. Now it seems that it is probably Junior Brother Zhang. He stole┅┅"

"Bang", there was a loud sound, but it was Tian Buyi who was so angry that he slapped the table hard with his palm. Only a few "kaka" sounds were heard. The table shook for a while and fell down. The legs of the table were already damaged by this slap. It was shattered by the shock.

Xiao Yicai looked a little embarrassed. Taoist Cangsong frowned, snorted and said, "These people in Fenxiang Valley clearly have bad intentions. Ignore them for such unsubstantiated matters."

Xiao Yicai nodded and said: "Actually, here in Fenxiang Valley, it doesn't matter if we shirk it, but this time Junior Brother Zhang is in front of everyone... Well, many comrades have asked our Qingyun Sect to stand up and make an explanation and make it clear. Why are the evil things from the demon sect from eight hundred years ago in our Qingyun Sect disciples?"

Tian Buyi made a fist with his hand, and from time to time there was a slight cracking sound. His face was extremely ugly, and he cursed angrily in a low voice: "This little beast!"

Taoist Cangsong said slowly: "Junior brother Tian, ​​you don't have to be too angry. No one would have expected this kind of thing. It's just that the situation is too serious now, and it involves Tianyin Temple and the Demon Sect. This is a big matter. I think We still have to go back to the mountain quickly and ask the head brother for instructions before making a decision!"

Tian Buyi took a deep breath, but after all, he had been cultivating for many years. He suppressed the anger in his heart and nodded: "Okay, then we will leave immediately." After saying this, he turned his eyes and put his hand in Cangsong Taoist's hand. Looking at the fire stick.

Unexpectedly, Taoist Cangsong smiled slightly and put the fire stick in his arms.

Tian Buyi's expression changed, and Xiao Yicai next to him also frowned and said: "Uncle Cangsong, this magic weapon┅┅"

Cangsong Taoist waved his hand to him, turned to Tian Buyi and said: "Junior Brother Tian, ​​what happened to one of your disciples has already caused our Qingyun Sect to lose face in front of the righteous way of the world, and also offended Tianyin Temple. , as a master, you have to shoulder some responsibilities, right?"

Tian Buyi snorted, his pupils shrank, and he said coldly: "So what?"

Taoist Cangsong said calmly: "I am the person in charge of punishment in Qingyun Sect. If you put this evidence here with me, I believe that you, Junior Brother Tian, ​​will not have any thoughts, right?"

Tian Buyi stared at Taoist Cangsong for a long time, then suddenly kicked his foot and walked out angrily.

On the streets of Changhe City, people were still coming and going as usual, and it was very lively.

Zhou Yixian and Xiaohuan stood at a corner of the street, looking at a small inn on the street in front with a plaque of "Donghai Inn" on the door, and frowned together.

Xiaohuan licked the candied haws in her hand and made a satisfied "tsk, tsk" sound, then casually said to Zhou Yixian: "Grandpa, are you really sure that the people from Qingyun Sect live here?"

Yiyi Xian nodded and said: "Nonsense, didn't you see that the people coming in and out of the door are all cultivators?" At this point, he thought to himself and said: "These people have been going to Liubo Mountain for a long time. This time I don’t know what the outcome will be when I come back?”

Xiaohuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "I really don't understand you. I'd say you're from the Qingyun Sect! You don't dare to recognize your relatives. But you're not! Why do you care so much?"

Zhou Xian was suffocated and said angrily: "Grandpa, although I disdain to recognize these descendants of the Qingyun Sect, it's because I have already seen through the world. I would rather live in poverty, wander around the world, and do something for the people of the world."

Xiaohuan turned around and left.

Zhou Yixian swallowed the rest of his boastful words alive, snorted, took one last look at the Donghai Inn, turned around and left.

Xiao Huan walked and said: "You have the nerve to say that we originally wanted to go to Liubo Mountain to have a look, but after asking for more than ten days on the East China Sea, we couldn't find a boatman to take us there."

Immortal Zhou Yi was greatly embarrassed and laughed dryly, saying, "It's because these boatmen are ignorant. How come they don't even know where Liubo Mountain is? They are just losers!"

While talking, he thought that if he kept mentioning these things, he would inevitably be embarrassed in front of his granddaughter, so he changed the subject and said casually: "I don't know if that guy named Zhang Xiaofan will die on Liubo Mountain this time. ?」

Xiao Huan glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I saw his palm that day. Although this man's fortune is strange and resembles a chaotic devil, his life span has nothing to do with luck. He is not a short-lived person." "

Zhou Yixian chuckled and said to Xiaohuan: "Speaking of which, I want to know more and more, what exactly did he see in the 'Full Moon Ancient Well' outside the Black Stone Cave that day?"

Xiaohuan chuckled and said, "You still remember it now?"

Zhou Yixian nodded and said: "Yes, you must know that there is only one person with the chaotic demon image. Now I am more and more curious about that guy!"

Xiaohuan nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Actually, I am too┅┅"

The two of them smiled and talked, forgetting what was going on for a moment, and suddenly found a figure in front of them. They almost bumped into it, and were startled. They stopped quickly and finally stabilized themselves. Zhou Xianda He said angrily: "What are you doing?"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, his voice immediately became hoarse. Xiaohuan was a little surprised. At the same time, he looked forward and was immediately startled. He saw two people standing in front of him. In front of him was a delicate and beautiful girl. Dressed in aqua green clothes, it turned out to be Baguio who had caused them a lot of trouble. Behind Baguio, there was a woman, but she was dressed in black, with a black gauze covering her face, so her face could not be seen clearly.

Yiyi Xian laughed twice and said repeatedly: "I was wrong, I was wrong┅┅" and winked at Xiaohuan. Although Xiaohuan was young, he was very smart and understood immediately. The two were about to turn around and leave. They ran away, but unexpectedly, they were lifted up by the two women. Then their eyes were shaking, and people on the street were turning upside down several times. When they woke up, they were already in a secluded and deserted place. In a back alley.
