It was obviously daytime, but when Ye Hongyi stepped into this valley, the time turned into night.
It is obviously the full month of May, but only half of the bright moon hangs in the sky.
The shape of the moon is not a curved sickle, but like a big cake, which was directly divided into two halves with a knife.
Under the half-moon, the gleaming light spread across the entire valley. In the thick jungle, the nocturnal animals opened their smart vertical pupils. The expression in their eyes was a spirituality that was different from ordinary animals only nourished by the moonlight.
.
A red dress fell on the treetops, and her graceful figure was full of an unearthly aura.
The half-moon reflection outlines her graceful figure. From this angle, Ye Hongyi looks like a beautiful woman in her eighteenth year.
She looked around the entire valley, as if searching for something.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up and her body disappeared instantly.
In the middle of the valley, there is an irregularly shaped lake. The lake is not big. As a Mahayana master, she can cross dozens of such small lakes in one step.
In the lake, the water surface is like a mirror, reflecting the green and black shadows of the surrounding trees.
In the water, there is a moon. To be precise, it should be half a moon.
But the strange thing is that it is not the half of the bright moon in the sky.
If you look closely, the half of the wheel in the lake seems to be just complementary to the moon in the sky.
If the two of them were put together, it would really be the fifteenth full moon.
The bright red reflection of the snow passed over the half-moon in the water, and finally landed on the shore.
There seems to be nothing on the shore except dense towering trees.
The tree next to Ye Hongyi seemed a little out of place in the dense jungle. The tree was not big, only half the size of the others, but the diameter of the tree was still far larger than her waist.
"After all these years, I never imagined that you are already so old." Ye Hongyi stroked her hand on the rough tree trunk, and there was a softness in her eyes that she had never seen before.
The past is like the wind, slowly emerging.
Under the moonlight, a man who was not very tall was holding a lifeless old man, standing where she was standing. Behind them, a dark figure stood with his head bowed.
Next to the man, there was a girl in red who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old.
And if you look carefully at that man, you will definitely find that he is Wen Zhiming in his youth.
The girl in red looked at the old man in Wen Zhiming's hands with pear blossoms in the rain, sobbing constantly.
"I don't want, I don't want grandpa to leave me." The girl in red cried while tightly holding on to the corner of Wen Zhiming's clothes.
"Hong Yi, the old sect master has left. Don't worry. There are heroic souls of the four sect masters at the bottom of Banyue Lake. The old sect master will not be alone."
"No! I don't want it!" Ye Hongyi, a young man, cried, "Why, why don't you bury grandpa in the sect? This place is so far away. Without my constant visits, grandpa, grandpa will miss me.
"
Wen Zhiming reached out and touched Ye Hongyi's head. He had said the words of explanation many times, but he was very patient and didn't care to say it again. What's more, the little girl in front of him was left by the old sect leader.
, the only bloodline.
"As the leader of the Four Symbols Sect, when you leave this world, your body will be thrown into the Half-Moon Lake, whether it is your grandfather now or me many years later."
"Hong Yi, this is your final destination as the leader of the Four Elephants Sect."
How could a child of that age know this? Dressed in red, she still cried and shook her head.
Wen Zhiming broke off a branch from the tree and handed it to Ye Hongyi's hand.
"If you are afraid of the loneliness of the old sect master, then you can plant this tree for him with your own hands. The life of the tree is longer than that of us. This kind of companionship may be more meaningful."
After struggling for an unknown amount of time, the little girl in red began to dig up the soil on the ground with her own hands. The soil was very wet, probably because the climate in this place was already humid. Of course, there was an unknown amount of Ye Hongyi in the soil.
Tears fell into it.
With a "pop" sound, as if something insignificant was thrown, Wen Zhiming threw the body in his hand into the lake. With this sound, the black shadow behind them also dropped into the Half Moon Lake.
The young Ye Hongyi let out a shrill scream, while Wen Zhiming held her tightly.
He didn't knock her out, but kept mumbling in her ears regardless of whether she heard it or not: "Remember this place, remember this place..."
Many years have passed, and Ye Hongyi still doesn't know what other meanings there are to remembering this place besides having grandpa here.
It wasn't until the day she entered Mahayana and became the elder of Zhuque Mountain that Wen Zhiming told her.
Half Moon Valley and Half Moon Lake, Half Moon Lake is the place to return;
Psychic flowers bloom in the lake thousands of feet away, and the pagoda is cut down with a knife across the eyebrow.
At the bottom of Banyue Lake, there is a strange flower called Psychic Flower.
The psychic flower is an extremely rare thing in the world, and only in a mysterious and mysterious place like Half Moon Valley, such a spiritual thing can be born.
The sages of the Four Symbols Sect discovered that after taking this psychic flower, they could directly communicate with the Four Symbols, and in a short period of time, a power that was unmatched by anyone in the world could be unleashed.
There is also the idea of transplanting the Psychic Flower to the Four Symbols Sect, but once this thing leaves Half Moon Valley, it will wither and turn into ashes within twenty days.
What is even more strange is that the conditions for the growth of this psychic flower are extremely harsh. In addition to needing the unique half-moon land in the world, more importantly, its seeds need to be nourished by one after another peak Mahayana monks.
Psychic flowers need not only their bodies, but also the souls trapped in their bodies that have not yet passed away.
Feeding flowers with your body represents a soul that will disappear forever in the reincarnation of heaven and earth.
This soul will have no reincarnation or afterlife, and everything about it will end here.
The so-called soul is scattered, which probably describes this situation.
Ever since the existence of the Psychic Flower was known, generations of Four Elephant Sect masters would be thrown into the Half-Moon Lake after their death. This was the last responsibility and obligation they needed to fulfill as sect masters.
From the day they became sect masters, they had already prepared for this realization.
Of course, in addition to the masters of the Four Symbols Sect, there are also some Mahayana masters who died at the hands of the Four Symbols Sect in so many years of fighting.
These people, together with the masters of the Four Elephant Sect in the past, will become the fodder for the psychic flowers to bloom and become the real trump card of the Four Elephant Sect.
As for where Half Moon Valley is, this secret is often known to only two people.
One is the current sect leader, and the other is called the Undertaker.
The black shadow from before was the mourner of the old sect leader. The moment the old sect master's body was thrown into the lake, he also chose to jump in and die to keep this secret that must never be told outside.
The reason why Ye Hongyi, who is still a teenager, is brought along is because she will be Wen Zhiming's funeral bearer.
She must know this place and remember this place. After Wen Zhiming's death, she will come here with Wen Zhiming's body and the new sect leader.
Of course, there is also the next mourner.
If she cannot become the sect master, then her life will end with the moment Wen Zhiming is thrown into the lake.
Only in this way can the location of Half Moon Valley remain a secret forever.
Of course, apart from Wen Zhiming and her, the elders of the Four Meridians of Sixiang Sect also knew about the existence of Half Moon Valley, but they only knew about it. As for where exactly Half Moon Valley is, no one could find it.
Historically, the number of times the psychic flower was used was limited, and most of the time, it was concentrated in the turbulent years when the sect was first established.
But this time, Ye Hongyi, as the elder of Zhuque Mountain and the mourner, appeared in Half Moon Valley.
With Ye Hongyi's speed, it only takes ten days to get from Banyue Valley to Sixiang Sect.
When the Psychic Flower appears, Wen Zhiming is confident that the Four Symbols Sect can handle it as long as he is not a master of the painter level.
However, the four-elephant mountain-protecting formation set up by Wen Zhiming could last for fifteen days, which was enough time for Ye Hongyi to return.
At that time, the invading enemies will definitely think that the Four Symbol Sect's door is wide open at this time, and there will be no more obstacles.
When all these clowns emerge from the water and show their ferocious faces, that's when you win.
Ye Hongyi doesn't need to be too fast, but, but, she needs to be on time.
Soon, those annoying wolves will become birds and beasts and disperse, but too late, the Four Symbols Sect may really face the crisis of extinction.
