The first chapter of the twenty-second episode embraces
.
Incense Valley.
The majestic Mountain and River Palace was completely silent at the moment. Except for a group of elite disciples such as Li Xun who entered the mysterious Shiwan Mountain, most of the disciples of Fenxiang Valley at this time were either patrolling in the valley or staying in their rooms to practice.
For homework, I rarely come to the main hall of Fenxiang Valley. This is also the most deserted time of the day in Shanhe Hall except late at night.
But at this moment, there are two figures standing in the gate of Shanhe Palace, standing silently, looking towards the distant southern sky.
In the distant sky, deep in the mysterious and dangerous Shiwandashan Mountains, there is a huge pillar of fire, rushing into the sky, with roaring red magma and thick black-gray clouds, mixed with countless rock fragments, and is covered by huge
The power was sent high into the sky, and then sputtered out in all directions like a burst.
Although they are far apart, they still seem to be able to feel the huge roar that resounds between heaven and earth. Even under their feet, they can faintly feel the earth trembling slightly. This is even the case thousands of miles away, where the explosion occurred deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains
, what kind of unimaginable scene will it be?
No one knows, at least not the two people standing in the Shanhe Palace at this moment.
Yun Yilan's face looked very cold. For a long time, he didn't even say a word. He just stared silently at the huge pillar of fire that erupted for a long time but did not weaken at all. And the person standing behind him was
His junior brother Shangguan Ce was also looking at the huge pillar of fire at this moment, but his face looked much more complicated, and the expression on his face seemed to be uncertain.
a long time.
In the silence, darkness came quietly, and the sky gradually dimmed. Several disciples passed by here, but they soon discovered that something was not right about the atmosphere here, and quickly retreated. Later, with the last trace of dusk,
When the light gradually disappeared, even if you looked up into the distance, the vision in the distant sky gradually became blurred.
In the distance, in a corner of Fenxiang Valley, there was a low sound of insects. There was a sound, distant or close. I don’t know what it was calling, but it highlighted the huge mountain and river palace, which was like ice and snow.
Generally deserted.
Yun Yilan's body in the shadow moved for a moment, then slowly turned around.
Shangguan Ce looked at him silently. Yun Yilan's eyes made contact with him in mid-air for a moment, and then turned away for some unknown reason. He slowly turned around and walked towards the Shanhe Palace. Shangguan Ce sighed secretly in his heart.
He took a final look at the direction of the southern skyline, turned around and walked inward.
The low footsteps echoed in the silent Shanhe Palace, but they seemed so loud!
The sound of heavy footsteps, I wonder whose heart they are stepping on?
Yun Yilan slowly sat down on the seat in the middle of the hall. It was dark, but there were no lights here. It was not that the disciples of Fenxiang Valley were lazy. It was just such a night, but it seemed to be different. They all didn't know it.
Come.
Yun Yilan was sitting in the darkness, and his face was a little blurry. After a while, he suddenly said: "Unexpectedly, there is really someone in this world who can destroy the ancient cave of suppressing demons, and can kill that monster?"
Shangguan Ce sat down under Yun Yilan. Although he was Yun Yilan's junior brother, his face looked much older than Yun Yilan's. But at this moment, his voice seemed
A bit more normal than Yun Yilan, he said calmly: "Since Qingyun Sect Daoxuan was able to severely injure the beast god back then, it's not too surprising that someone can come up with a way to kill the beast god now."
Yun Yilan was silent for a long time and did not speak. But after a while, he suddenly smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "After all, human calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. A hundred years of hard work have been wasted."
Shangguan Ce pondered for a moment, seeming to be secretly considering what to say at this moment, and said slowly: "Perhaps, there are other methods in the 'Incense and Jade Book'..."
Yun Yilan snorted, and Shangguan Ce immediately stopped talking. The atmosphere seemed slightly awkward, but Yun Yilan was obviously in a bad mood at the moment, and had no intention of relaxing at all. He just sat there silently, saying nothing.
The wrinkles on Shangguan Ce's old face seemed to be deeper in the dark shadows, and his eyes were flashing with a complex light, but I didn't know what he was thinking about. After a while, Yun Yilan suddenly called out and said: "Junior brother Shangguan Ce
."
Shangguan Ce was stunned for a moment and said, "What?"
Yun Yilan said lightly: "Others don't understand, but you and I are the only ones who know the secrets of my Fenxiang Valley. Why did the Patriarch establish a sect in the remote place of Fenxiang Valley in southern Xinjiang? You should
Do you know?"
Shangguan Ce sighed, with a hint of vicissitudes in his tone, and said: "It's because the ancestor discovered the 'Xuanhuo Altar', a relic of the ancient southern Xinjiang witch clan here, and discovered the strange and powerful secret of witchcraft.
"
Yun Yilan nodded slowly and said: "Yes, it is because of this that the Fenxiang Valley sect took root in the remote land of southern Xinjiang, opened its doors and established a sect, which continues to this day. The ancient witch clan's mysterious witchcraft, plus
The true Dharma and Taoism passed down by the ancestors of the past generations have given us the status and prestige of Fenxiang Valley today."
Speaking of this, Yun Yilan's voice suddenly took on a hint of desolation, saying: "But in the past hundreds of years, even though all the ancestors have exhausted their efforts, the most powerful force in the witchcraft of the ancient witch clan in southern Xinjiang has been
'Sky Fire', but we still only have a superficial grasp of it," his expression gradually became angry and he said coldly,
"When I inherited the position of Valley Master, I made a solemn oath in front of the ancestors of all generations that I would definitely discover the secret of the Wu Clan's Heavenly Fire, so that our Fenxiang Valley lineage would dominate the world and lead the world from now on. But I never thought that now, not only do we not have
In this way, even the only key to exploring the power of 'Sky Fire', the diagram of the Eight Ominous Mysterious Fire Arrays passed down by the Witch Clan, was destroyed. What's more, even the most important Mysterious Fire Mirror was destroyed.
, it was also lost!”
In the darkness, Shangguan Ce's body suddenly shook.
"Bang!" A crisp sound came from Yun Yilan's hand. In anger, he used his hands to force down the armrest of the seat. There was silence in the Shanhe Palace for a moment.
After a long while, Yun Yilan suddenly let out a long sigh, stood up slowly, and said in a bleak tone: "Under the predicament that day, I accidentally learned from the ancient books in southern Xinjiang that in this world, in addition to the Xuanhuo Altar, there is also the Ancient Demon Suppressing Cave.
There is still a formation diagram in there, so I decided to seek skin from a tiger. What happened today is a pity...sigh."
He let out a long sigh, and there was indescribable fatigue on his face.
Outside the desolate Shanhe Palace, there was no other sound except the low chirping of insects. Most of the disciples in Fenxiang Valley fell asleep peacefully. Who would have known that in such a night, there were two old people sitting silently?
What about in the Shanhe Palace?
Yun Yilan seemed to be in a very uneasy mood today. The calmness of the past was gone. Her heart was revealed unexpectedly and she seemed upset. She paced back and forth for a while. Finally, after sighing, she smiled bitterly and shook her head. She said nothing and silently looked back.
Go to the hall.
Shangguan Ce sat there without moving. Seeing that Yun Yilan was about to disappear into the dark back hall of Shanhe Palace, Shangguan Ce suddenly had a strange light in his eyes. He seemed to be hesitating and finally made a decision.
Choice and decision, stood up.
"Brother!"
Yun Yilan paused, turned around, and said calmly: "What's the matter?"
Shangguan Ce slowly, as if he thought about every word carefully, said: "After thinking about it carefully, there may be hope for this matter."
Yun Yilan raised his eyebrows and said, "What did you say?"
Shangguan Ce seemed to feel a little dry in the mouth, his throat moved, and he said slowly: "Now the two known places in the world where the Eight Ominous Mysterious Fire Arrays still exist, the Mysterious Fire Altar and the Ancient Demon-Suppressing Cave, have been destroyed.
Well, if you want to delve into the mystery of the 'Sky Fire' from this array diagram, I'm afraid the future will be slim."
Yun Yilan snorted and said, "That's right, what do you say?"
Shangguan Ce was silent for a moment and said: "I'm thinking that formation diagrams are dead objects. After this road is blocked, maybe we can start from people."
Yun Yilan was a little impatient and said: "Who would know..." Suddenly, his eyes suddenly lit up, his expression turned solemn, he pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "You mean the 'Ancient Demon-Suppressing Cave' collapsed
After that, will there be any survivors from the southern Xinjiang shaman clan?"
Shangguan Ce took a deep breath, as if there was some heavy burden pressing on his heart, but after a moment, he still said: "I'm not very sure now, but according to my guess, after everything in the Zhenmo Ancient Cave was wiped out, those very few
Among the remnants of the Witch Clan who are not demons, there is one person who may not be willing to die together like this."
He slowly raised his head, his tone was somewhat bitter for some reason, and said: "If my prediction is right, this person may survive. If so, this person is the one who knows the most about the mysteries of the ancient witchcraft in the world."
We may gain something from this person, but we don’t know for sure.”
Yun Yilan pondered silently, but the expression on his face slowly became cheerful and focused. After a while, he suddenly nodded and said: "Yes, junior brother, you are indeed insightful. Although there is little hope for this matter, it is still easier.
I'm in despair. In this case, I'll bother you to go to Shiwandashan. The main purpose is to investigate this matter, and also to see how Xun'er and the others are doing. When he went there this time, he encountered a big change, which was beyond his control.
It’s hard for him to predict.”
Shangguan Ce sighed silently in his heart, stood up, nodded and said, "Yes."
Yun Yilan glanced at him, and suddenly a smile appeared on her face, and said: "Junior brother, I was in a bad mood just now. Maybe there was something wrong with my tone of voice. Don't take it to heart."
Shangguan Ce shook his head and said: "Senior Brother, what are you talking about? You can't do it."
Yun Yilan smiled and nodded, then turned around, walked into the back hall of Shanhe Palace, and disappeared into the shadows. Only a lonely shadow was left in the huge Shanhe Palace, standing silently.
Darkness surged over quietly, swallowing up his figure.
※※※
Southern Xinjiang, one hundred thousand mountains.
The huge roar that resounded across the sky and the earth, the roar of the volcano that made the earth tremble, finally slowly weakened after three days and three nights of crazy eruption. The rain of fire that filled the sky like a doomsday scene did not know when it stopped.
, but there are traces of burns everywhere on the countless mountains, rivers and land. Looking from a distance, it seems that there are still countless fire heads burning in this miserable land.
However, the dark clouds in the sky finally slowly dispersed, casting a warm and warm light again, illuminating the land.
Although standing far away, the air was still somewhat filled with the irritable smell of burnt sulfur, but at this time, the breeze blowing from the distant sky contained more of a fresh smell.
Everything must end eventually.
Everything seems to be about to start again...
The sun and the moon rotate and shuttle back and forth; the stars move around, who has seen all the vicissitudes of life?
The stars are shining brightly and the moon is rising.
The night breeze is blowing and the trees are billowing.
The calm night comes here quietly.
With a low moan, like a sleeping baby, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed what?
It was warm skin, the place of stability, right beside her, solid and never leaving. At the corner of her mouth, there was a faint smile, as if she had received some relief in a dream.
In the night, under the stars, a gentle breeze blew quietly.
Her hair was a little messy, with a few strands of black hair trembling gently in the night wind, falling on her jade-like cheeks. She frowned slightly, with an innocent expression like a child, so messy
Beauty seems to be in peace, slowly seeping into the depths of the soul.
Gui Li silently stared at this sleeping face. She was right next to him, as if she had never been so close. She fell asleep quietly, breathing the fresh air in the southern Xinjiang night, and the wind blew by.
Her chest rose and fell slowly, and the corners of her mouth smiled.
He suddenly looked up and saw that the bright moon was moving into the sky, emitting a soft and warm light, illuminating the world.
The moonlight was like water, shining on their bodies.
Clothes are like snow, people are like jade!
※※※
This is a cliff on the top of a mountain that is 100,000 miles away. It hangs about ten feet out of the mountain. Because it is far away from the scorched black peak where Zhenmo Ancient Cave is located, the huge volcanic eruption caused by the collapse of Zhenmo Ancient Cave affected this place.
It was not big. There were only some flames that fell when the sky was full of fire and a little lava mixed in the rubble, which ignited a few fires, but they all died down quickly.
On the high cliff, you can still vaguely see the place after the madness, but there are only countless ashes left.
The two people who were in a desperate situation that day were rescued by the psychic artifact Xuanhuojian with the Xuanhuo spirit shield. They were too exhausted and soon they both fainted. When Gui Li woke up again
, and already found themselves and Lu Xueqi on this cliff.
After the hustle and bustle, it was such a calm and cool night.
Suddenly, a soft cry came from beside him. He turned around and saw that the beautiful woman in her sleep slowly opened her eyes with a faint smile.
Those clear, gentle eyes that reflected his figure...
Suddenly, it was as if the world had stopped, and something quietly burst deep in his soul!
Then, after staring deeply, she smiled slightly, as if with a hint of shyness.
That smile is like a beautiful lily in the darkness at night!
It lasted for a long time, but it seemed like a short moment. That time became meaningless, who cares?
Gui Li also smiled, a gentle smile, as if he was that young man back then.
She stretched out her hand, wanting to hold his hand and not let go, but she found that the two people's hands had already been held together and had never been separated. A faint blush flashed on her face, and she slowly sat up.
Her clothes slipped off quietly, and Gui Li's coat covered her body. She glanced at Gui Li, but didn't say anything, but the quiet smile at the corner of her mouth seemed to be getting stronger again.
The night wind blew gently, as if a gentle hand passed by the body. In the distance, the waves of trees in the woods on the mountain peaks echoed leisurely in the night.
Lu Xueqi glanced around. Not far from them, on the edge of the cliff, Lu Xueqi's Tianya Divine Sword was stuck upside down in the rock. The blade with a radius like autumn water stood in the night wind, and next to Tianya
, Gui Li's Soul Eater was also lying quietly on the ground at this moment.
The two magic weapons seem so quiet at this moment. Who knows what kind of past they have? The faint cyan light on the Soul Eater flashes, complementing the light blue light of Tianya next to it. This
A pair of magic weapons that had been entangled in grudges for thousands of years, now look like they are somewhat integrated.
Suddenly there was a low roar from behind, and the two turned their heads to look. Suddenly, a huge figure flashed from the depths of the woods. It turned out to be the evil beast Taotie who followed the beast god that day. It sounded like it was a little restless, but
Soon, a familiar "Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi" sound sounded, seeming to comfort it. After a while, Taotie became quiet and made no more noise.
The two of them turned their heads and looked at each other. Gui Li hesitated slightly and said, "That's Taotie. I came here just for it. I should want it tomorrow..."
Suddenly, he stopped talking, because at this time, a white and soft palm gently covered his mouth.
He was silent for a moment, and his body seemed to tremble slightly.
The night wind blew faintly, ruffling her hair. Her eyes seemed a little blurred in this night.
However, the smile on the corner of his mouth has never been lost.
Lu Xueqi just smiled and stared deeply at him. This man haunted her countless dreams. After a long time, she said softly and lowly: "Don't worry about tomorrow, okay?"
The moonlight is like ice and snow, falling into the world.
Gui Li stared at her blankly, at her peerless appearance and gentle smile, at the persistence and faint sadness behind that smile. The night wind was still blowing, and her hair was draped on her shoulders, fluttering gently.
, and there is a faint fragrance floating in the wind.
Her figure was so thin at this moment, but such a beauty seemed to have not been erased by countless vicissitudes of life.
Never mind tomorrow,
Okay?
※※※
The bright moon and the stars.
The night is dark.
He quietly took her hand and held it in his palm.
Under the endless sky, who cares about the small happiness in this world?
Her thin body seemed to be trembling gently in the night wind, and her secretly throbbing feelings seemed to have been lingering in the river of time for thousands of years.
Above the horizon, is there someone smiling and looking into the distance?
Is it joy? Is it pain?
Forget it, why should you care about what tomorrow will be and what will happen tomorrow?
