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.
Zhou Yixian was sweating on his forehead. He knew that the girl in front of him was far better than him. Now he really didn't know what kind of suffering he was going to suffer. At that moment, he could only say with a bitter face: "This girl, I, it was my fault that day. Ah! I put it in my hands." Return all the money to the milk! You have a lot of milk, please let us go!"
Baguio frowned. Ever since she came back from Liubo Mountain, her face looked quite haggard. She glared at Zhouxian and said, "Who wants your money? Let me ask you a few questions. Answer me honestly."
Immediately, Zhou Yixian said: "My dear, please ask, I know all the answers truthfully. I don't know if you want to ask about wealth, longevity, or marriage? These are the skills that I, Yiyi Xian, Zhou Daxian, are good at. Come on. Come on, let me do a hexagram for the milk┅┅"
The more he spoke, the smoother he became. Unexpectedly, he suddenly felt Xiaohuan tugging at his clothes. He turned around in surprise and said, "What's wrong?"
Xiaohuan was sweating profusely. She rolled her eyes at him and smiled apologetically at Baguio: "This, um! Beautiful big sister, what do you want to ask us?"
Baguio was silent for a moment and said, "What were you looking at at the door of Donghai Inn just now?"
Yiyi Xian and Xiaohuan looked at each other and said, "No, it's nothing! We just happened to pass by and saw many Taoist monks there, so we stopped to take a look."
Baguio said lightly: "So, all the people from Qingyun Sect live there?"
Zhou Yixian nodded and said: "It seems so!"
Baguio was silent again for a long time, then said: "Then you...have you seen the young disciple of Qingyun Sect who saved you once?"
Zhou Yixian was startled, then understood and said, "Young lady, are you talking about the young man named Zhang Xiaofan, right?"
Baguio didn't expect that they actually knew Zhang Xiaofan's name, so she nodded and said, "What, have you seen him?" There was a bit of concern on his face at the same time.
Zhou Yixian and Xiaohuan shook their heads at the same time.
Baguio was a little disappointed. She wanted to say something, but suddenly she seemed to lose interest. She waved her hand and said, "Let's go!"
Zhou Yixian and Xiao Huan were listening to the fairy music. They immediately thanked her and walked quickly out of the alley. Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, Baguio suddenly said from behind: "Wait a minute."
Zhou Xian's heart skipped a beat.
Just listen to Baguio slowly saying: "You just said on the street that there is an ancient well with a full moon outside the Black Stone Cave. What does that mean?"
Immortal Zhou Yi felt relieved and quickly told the allusion to the full moon ancient well, and finally said: "┅┅Yeah! That's it. Legend has it that on a full moon night, as long as a person gazes into the full moon ancient well, he will see his most beautiful sight. lover!"
Baguio's face changed, she stopped talking, and was in a daze. Zhouxian was still thinking about what strange questions this ever-changing girl had, and was suddenly pulled by Xiao Huan. Seeing Xiao Huan winking, she turned around. Suddenly, the two of them slowly walked out. Baguio and the mysterious woman in black beside her did not stop them.
After a while, Baguio and the mysterious woman covered in black were the only ones left in the quiet alley.
"Aunt You, who did I say he saw?" As soon as the words came out, Baguio suddenly smiled to herself again, with a sour smile: "Actually, needless to say, it must be his senior sister Ling'er, or else , I am also the Qingyun disciple with peerless appearance and wielding the Tianya Divine Sword, so who am I?"
The mysterious woman whom Baguio calls "Aunt You" said calmly: "Don't be like this, these men sometimes don't understand their own thoughts at all!"
Baguio closed her eyes, opened them after a while, and with a hint of pleading, said to the woman in black: "Aunt You, I want to see him."
The woman in black immediately shook her head and said, "No."
Baguio lamented: "Aunt You, his current situation is really uncertain. I, I, I really can't let go!"
The woman in black sighed softly and said, "Daddy knows that Nai will act randomly, so he told me to keep an eye on Nai. Now a large number of masters from the Qingyun Sect are in this inn. If we go there rashly, we must It's inevitable." At this point, there was a hint of pity in her voice, and she said softly: "Yao'er, the days are long, we will definitely be able to see him again."
Baguio stood there in a daze, and after a long while he said: "But, what he committed were taboos in the righteous way, will they just kill him like this┅┅"
The woman in black frowned, shook her head and said: "Baguio, please wake up, you are not so confused on weekdays. Zhang Xiaofan is now suspected of having something to do with our holy religion because he possesses the blood-devouring bead, and he actually has some cultivation skills. The Great Brahma Prajna of Yin Temple is really a matter of no small importance. If we cannot find out clearly, Tianyin Temple will not be able to let go of the Qingyun Sect. I predict that the Qingyun Sect will definitely bring Zhang Xiaofan back to Qingyun Mountain, and Daoxuan will personally interrogate it. Make a decision and give Tianyin Temple an explanation, so nothing will happen for the time being!"
Baguio subconsciously bit her pale lower lip. For a long time, she didn't see any reaction.
Seeing this, the woman in black seemed to feel a little distressed. She gently stroked her hair with her hand and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, don't worry, grandma. Didn't daddy also say that? He won't just sit idly by." .”
Baguio nodded silently, and suddenly she raised her head, grabbed the woman in black's hand, and said eagerly: "Aunt You, I know that Nai has stopped taking action a long time ago, but for my sake, Nai also helps him. Bar!"
The woman in black was silent for a moment, then moved her eyes slightly away, looking out into the alley.
Baguio called out again: "Aunt You!"
The woman in black seemed to sigh softly and said: "Okay! If the nanny decides to save him, I will help him once."
Baguio was overjoyed.
The woman in black smiled, but her smile was hidden in the black gauze and no one could see it, just like no one could see the ripples deep in her heart.
On that dark and chilling night, when that young man threw himself at the ferocious beast regardless of his life or death, her heart was pounding in the darkness!
I vaguely recalled that figure dressed in white as snow many years ago.
Even the expressions on their faces seem to be somewhat similar┅┅(To be continued)
