The stars and the moon shine together, the night is quiet and beautiful, and time passes quietly. After everyone waited here for a while, Wan Jianyi raised his head and looked at the sky, shook his head and said: "The midnight hour has arrived, and it seems that Junior Brother Zeng will not be able to come.
let's go."
Everyone was speechless and walked back. Among them, Tian Buyi couldn't help but turn around and look into the distance of Hongqiao. Cangsong had a sneer on his face, obviously looking down on Zeng Shuchang who had flinched from the situation.
As for the other people, their expressions did not change much.
However, seeing the departure approaching, watching Wan Jianyi walk over and stand together with Cangsong, Tian Buyi, and Shang Zhengliang, Shuiyue and Suru's faces turned a little pale after all. Even Daoxuan, who was always calm, had a look in the corners of his eyes.
He twitched slightly and remained silent.
Wan Jianyi, however, didn't seem to be hurt. He smiled and bowed his hands to everyone. He was about to speak, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a shout from far away in Hongqiao, which was a bit urgent.
It came from a distance: "Don't, don't go, I'm coming!"
Tian Buyi turned around suddenly, beaming with joy, and said, "It's Xiao Zeng who's here."
Everyone turned around and looked, and sure enough they saw a figure running over from the distance of Hongqiao. When he came closer, the moonlight illuminated his face, it was Zeng Shuchang. He could only hear him panting, it was obvious that he had come all the way.
Yujian ran with all his strength, and there was a hint of urgency on his face.
I saw him running quickly in front of Wan Jianyi. In his hurry, he didn't even bother to greet Daoxuan and the others. He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wan Jianyi, saying: "Wan Jianyi
Senior brother, this is an autographed letter from my father."
Wan Jian glanced at him, reached out to take it, took out the letter and unfolded it, looked at it under the moonlight for a while, then nodded and said to Zeng Shuchang: "Since Master Zeng has no objections, then you can follow us.
Let's go together."
Uncle Zeng breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had finally let go of a big stone in his heart, and then he calmed down. Then he noticed the large number of people around him and hurriedly greeted each other. Finally, when he walked aside, he stood there naturally.
together.
Tian Buyi looked at him with a bit of a smile on his face, but then he seemed to have thought of something. His face suddenly darkened, but he was a little angry again, and whispered: "I said, how dangerous is this journey to the wilderness, what are you doing?"
Did you know?"
Uncle Zeng took a moment to catch his breath, nodded, and said, "Of course I know."
Tian Buyi glared at him and said, "Then why did you rush over here? Aren't you afraid of death?"
Zeng Shuchang snorted and asked: "How can you ask me this when you are here? Are you afraid of death?"
Tian Buyi said angrily: "Nonsense, whoever is good is not afraid of death, but this action is of great importance, and it is also related to the eternal foundation of our Qingyun Sect. As a disciple of Qingyun, of course I am obligated."
Zeng Shuchang said: "I am also a disciple of Qingyun!"
Tian Buyi sneered and said: "But Senior Brother Wan came to me personally, so naturally I can't refuse, but he clearly didn't come to you, why do you insist on getting together? What if something unexpected happens in the wilderness, you...
…Forget about other things, what do you want Master Zeng to do?"
Zeng Shuchang suddenly fell silent and didn't speak for a while.
Tian Buyi was startled for a moment, feeling that he seemed to have said something wrong. He laughed dryly and said, "What's wrong?"
Uncle Zeng shook his head, suddenly sighed, and said in a low voice: "It was only after I went back and begged for several hours, and finally had an argument with my father that he agreed."
Tian Buyi said: "Why do you have to come?"
Zeng Shuchang looked at the endless night sky outside Hongqiao, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Senior Brother Liu passed away young, and my father wanted to hand over the position of the top of Fenghui Peak to me in the future, but he couldn't convince everyone because of the unclear reasons.
I can’t live with it in my heart. I have to do something big and let everyone in Fenghuifeng see it. Then I can stand up straight and have a clear conscience.”
Tian Buyi looked at him deeply and said nothing. After a while, he gently patted Zeng Shuchang on the shoulder. Zeng Shuchang smiled and nodded.
Ahead, Wan Jian rolled up his sleeves one by one and walked to the middle of Hongqiao. He cupped his hands to Daoxuan, Shuiyue and Suru in front of him, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's getting late, we should go."
Shuiyue took a step forward with a solemn expression. She first signaled Suru with her eyes to divide the wine glasses among the five fellow disciples in front of her. Then she filled up the Xiaozhufeng's unique wine "Green Bamboo" one by one, and then retreated with Suru.
When he came to Daoxuan's side, he said solemnly and loudly: "Senior Brother Wan, all fellow disciples, the road to the wild wilderness is long and dangerous, and I can't fully express my feelings in just a few words. I can only express my feelings with a thin glass of wine. I hope that the ancestors of all generations will protect you, all senior brothers.
Return in triumph, make immortal achievements, and shine brightly in the sky!"
Her voice was clear and her peerless appearance made her look like a fairy. But in front of her, the mountain wind was suddenly biting and biting, passing over the Hongqiao, making everyone's clothes fly, as if they were feeling something.
The night was getting darker, the moonlight was like water, Wan Jianyi was full of energy, looked around at the people around him, suddenly laughed long and loudly, and raised his glass to the sky.
Cangsong and others were all like this. After a while, the five of them raised their heads together and drank the wine in one gulp.
Suddenly there is silence in the sky, earth, and sky, and the moonlight and starlight all fall into the world.
Above the clouds, on the top of the Hongqiao, handsome in white, brothers stand side by side.
Daoxuan stood aside, silently watching this scene, his face was silent but his teeth were clenched. In the sleeves of his Taoist robe, his hands were tightly clenched into fists. Beside him, Suru covered his mouth with his hands and could not speak.
Shui Yue's face had a gloomy look, and she raised her head again, her eyes only falling on Wan Jianyi, full of admiration and admiration.
Wan Jianyi casually threw the wine glass into the abyss, then raised his hand and said loudly: "Let's go!"
With a clear whistle, only the roar of the dragon was heard, and the green sword light flashed. The man in white stood up with the sword, and flew straight into the sky without any hesitation; behind him, four sword lights shined at the same time, extremely brilliant, and roared.
Up to this thick ink sky.
The starry sky and the night were endless. At that moment, the passionate man walked away proudly, fearless of all things in the world!
Only the lonely moonlight was left above the Hongqiao.
Suru suddenly burst into tears and threw herself into senior sister Shuiyue's arms, choked with sobs and unable to make a sound. Shuiyue hugged her tightly, and together with Daoxuan who was standing not far away, they stared deeply at the figure that was getting further and further away in the night sky.
those shining lights.

To the northwest of Qingyun Mountain, there is a canyon with clouds and fog that never disperses all year round. From the topography, it can be regarded as a remnant of the majestic Qingyun Mountains that stretches thousands of miles, but it is already quite a distance from the main line of Qingyun Seven Peaks where Qingyun Gate is located. The canyon
It's not big, but the climate is comfortable and pleasant. Mountains stretch on both sides, the mountains are dense and green, and the roars of wild beasts in the forest can be heard in this canyon.
The rainwater accumulated in the mountain forms a trickle and slowly falls down the ravine along the mountainside, like a curtain of water, which is really beautiful. Occasionally, unknown flowers and trees grow in the mountain stream, and a section of branches sticks out of the water curtain, and the green trees are red.
The flowers trembled slightly beside the water, causing the fallen reds to dance, adding a touch of light red color to the mountains.
A small river flows through the canyon. The current is rapid, and the clear water splashes on the shore rocks, creating bursts of water mist. In addition, the upper part of the canyon is already misty, and the sunlight casts it into colorful colors, although it is not as good as that of the "Hong Kong Bridge".
It's majestic, but also very pleasing to the eye.
The local people have always admired the "gods" on Qingyun Mountain, and Hongqiao, one of the six scenic spots in Qingyun, is even more famous, so some good people named this place "Rainbow Valley", which is named after the artistic conception of Hongqiao. However, this name
Although it sounds nice, Rainbow Valley is located deep in the mountains, so there are no traces of people on weekdays and it is very clean.
However, these days, the canyon has become noisy. Especially in the past two days, many figures have appeared on both sides of the river in Rainbow Valley. They are all members of the demon sect who were defeated in the Battle of Qingyun.
Among the numerous demon sect believers, most of them looked panic-stricken. After the defeat in the Battle of Qingyun, they only wanted to escape back to the northwest wilderness as soon as possible, and often only stayed in this canyon for a short time.
Leave immediately. However, there are some people among them who are different. They form groups and occupy a territory as soon as they arrive. They look strong and capable, and they are heavily guarded, making people afraid to approach them. They are the people of the Demon King Sect.
In the center of this formation is a tent.
Nowadays, several important figures in the Demon Cult are gathered here. The old Ghost King from the Ghost King Sect is still very weak, and his complexion has not improved much. He is just half sitting and half lying on the bed with the help of Xiao Wan.
On a recliner. There are two groups of people in front of him. To his left are Qinglong, Baihu, Xuanwu, and Suzaku, the four holy envoys of the Demon Sect. Among them, Qinglong is holding a jade urn in his hand, with a solemn expression and sitting upright.
The other three people were standing behind him.
On the right hand side of the Ghost King, there are three people sitting. The top one is the Poison God, the leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, and the next two people, a man and a woman, are extremely young, and they all look like they are only in their early twenties.
The Ghost King coughed twice and broke the silence here. He glanced at everyone, and then fell on the young man at the head of the Poison God. He said: "Yuyang, have you found the remains of your master?"
This young man is Yu Yangzi, a disciple of Duan Hou, the master of the Demon Sect's Changsheng Hall. He looks young and handsome, but there is a fierce look in his eyes. However, in front of these senior leaders of the Holy Sect, his expression is obviously
Still a little nervous and embarrassed, he said: "Not yet." He said with a bit of anger on his face, gritting his teeth and said: "I'm afraid that he will probably be taken in by those Qingyun Sect members."
The Ghost King shook his head silently, and looked down at the young woman who had a low eyebrow but was actually very charming, and said: "Sanmiao, how is your master?"
A trace of sadness flashed across the face of this young woman named Sanmiao, and she whispered: "Master, during the battle at Qingyun Mountain, she was stabbed by the Qingyun thief's Immortal Killing Sword in a sneak attack. Not only did she have her arm broken, but she also suffered extremely.
Severe internal injuries, I have been unconscious for a long time, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..." (To be continued)
