    At the foot of Qingyun Mountain

    The sky is high and the clouds are light. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, you can see only a blue sky. The gentle breeze blows, which refreshes your spirit.

    Lu Xueqi looked at it for a long time. There was no one around, and naturally no one would notice that at the foot of the secluded mountain, there was such a beautiful woman quietly watching the sky and the breeze blowing. Her shawl hair was fluttering gently, and she looked slightly  thin face

    Master Shuiyue¡¯s instructions before leaving kept echoing in her ears

    'From the conversation between Senior Brother Daoxuan and Senior Brother Wan, we knew that all the masters of the Qingyun Sect would tell this secret to the next generation of disciples who would pass on the throne while they were still awake.  The death was for the reputation of the Qingyun Sect and the common people in the world, and in order to avoid causing too many killings. When the last resort came, the disciple who passed the throne could kill his master" This time, for some reason, Senior Brother Daoxuan didn't tell Xiao Yicai this.  The secret, in my opinion, is due to two reasons. One: before Senior Brother Daoxuan made up his mind to tell Xiao Yicai this secret, he was already back-bitten by the demonic spirit of the Zhuxian Ancient Sword; secondly, Senior Brother Daoxuan relied on his profound Taoism.  Especially in a fierce battle ten years ago, he used the Zhuxian Sword Formation but did not see the inner demon backlash, so he thought he could resist it this time. By the time the real demon came back to bite him, it was already too late. "It's just that although  Things have changed like this, but as the disciples of Qingyun, we cannot stay out of it no matter what. Tian Buyi is missing, and Junior Sister Su is in chaos. I am the only one who can make this critical decision. I just hope that everything will end on the mountain. You don't have to get involved, but if it really happens.  I found them at the foot of the mountain. You should also shoulder this important responsibility with all your heart. The ancestors of Qingyun have spirits and will definitely protect you and me, master and disciple." Lu Xueqi slowly opened her eyes and took a deep breath.

    She turned her head and looked around. The majestic mountains and rivers behind her were handsome and tall. The mountains in the distance were undulating, and the dangerous rocks were abrupt when seen up close. They were full of grace and scenery everywhere.

    Towering into the clouds, towering over the world

    It¡¯s for Qingyun

    A faint and warm smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth. This mountain range was, after all, the place where she was raised and grew up. There were her respected teachers, close senior sisters and junior sisters, and those she once had  remember

    She turned around and walked away, her white clothes fluttering like snow. The world is so big and the sky is infinite. Even if she has a peerless appearance and a peerless hero, she may still be just a drop in the ocean.

    Speaking of which, this is the first time that I have come down the mountain under the command of my division commander, but there is no clear place to go. Although I have a heavy responsibility, I don't know where to go to complete this task. Think about it, there are several  quite ridiculous

    " Tianya is held quietly in the hand, but there is no familiar feeling. It should be said that it has become a part of the body. The faint blue light has also been converged in the scabbard. Each person has a sword and walks slowly.

    Where to go?

    The world is so big

    There was a fork in the road in front of her, and Lu Xueqi stopped. It wasn't that she didn't know the way. Among the Qingyun Sect disciples, she was the one who went down the mountain more frequently. She had walked on the flat road in front of her countless times.  The most convenient way out of Qingyun Mountain leads directly to Heyang City, the largest town at the foot of Qingyun Mountain.

    The other fork in the road seems to have been abandoned for a long time, with weeds growing everywhere. Only a section near the fork in the road is vaguely visible. Looking in from a distance, the distance is already covered by weeds.

    In fact, there are countless such trails and mountain roads leading down from Qingyun Mountain. Many of these trails are made by villagers living in villages near the foot of Qingyun Mountain. They go up the mountain to cut firewood or pick wild fruits for their livelihood. There are also many roads, because  For various reasons, over the years, it has become this desolate look.

    Who knows where this road leads, and who will remember who has walked it before?

    Lu Xueqi shook her head slightly and smiled bitterly in her heart. After returning from southern Xinjiang and being separated from that person, her state of mind has really changed a lot.

    She shook her head slightly, wanting to put this thought away, and was about to walk back to the road. At this time, villagers in twos and threes came from the other end of the road, old and young. Judging from their clothes, most of them had brought  The ax, hemp rope and shoulder pole seemed to be woodcutter from the nearby village who went up to the mountain to cut firewood.

    When they got closer, when these woodcutter saw Lu Xueqi, they all stepped aside with a look of respect on their faces. The disciples of Qingyun Sect were already respected by people within hundreds of miles around, not to mention Lu Xueqi's peerless appearance, so ethereal.  Immortal, people dare not look at them

    Lu Xueqi stopped, nodded slightly to them in return, and then planned to leave

    At this moment, suddenly one of the old woodcutter, whose hair had turned white but still energetic, seemed to be very enthusiastic, and laughed and said: 'Girl, don't you know the road?  ¡¯ Lu Xueqi paused for a moment, her eyes moved, and she glanced at the old woodcutter,He hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly.

    But before she could speak, the enthusiastic old woodcutter said, "I know you immortal cultivators from Qingyun Sect are very powerful. You fly around a lot of the time, but when it comes to the road under your feet, sometimes  On the contrary, they are not as familiar to us country people." When the woodcutters next to him heard this, they all laughed. Lu Xueqi looked at their kind faces, and for some reason, her heart suddenly felt warm, and the steps she was about to take stopped again.  down

    The old woodcutter chuckled and said, "The road in front of you leads to Heyang City in the south. It is the busiest place within a hundred miles nearby. Once you get there, it will be much easier to go to other places."  As he said that, he pointed to the abandoned path and said, "Don't go down that road. It was a lively village many years ago, but now it's all destroyed and there is no one left." Lu Xueqi smiled slightly and said:  'I understand, thank you, husband.' The old woodcutter waved his hand, laughed twice, and continued walking towards Qingyun Mountain with the others.

    At the same time, a woodcutter who was slightly younger than him sighed and said: "There used to be a temple in that village. I heard it was very spiritual. More than ten years ago, my wife and I went there to worship the Bodhisattva and ask for a child. As a result,  Sure enough, it existed, but it's a pity that it's gone now." The old woodcutter nodded and said, "Yes, I remember it too. It's a pity that the temple is gone" The words gradually became lower, and their figures gradually faded away, disappearing in the distance.  In the mountains and forests, their cheerful and generous laughter seemed to be still there in the breeze blowing in the distance. Lu Xueqi turned around, the smile on her face was still there, and for some reason, her mood seemed much better.

    Smiling, she raised her head and walked towards the main road.

    Her steps were originally brisk, but for some reason, her pace suddenly slowed down. Her delicate eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Deep in her heart, it seemed as if something important suddenly passed by, but she couldn't catch it for a moment.

    Deep in the memory, something seems to have quietly awakened

    She stood still and remained still. The scene just now was quickly replayed in her mind, and the words of the woodcutter echoed again: "Don't go down that road. It was also a lively place many years ago."  The village, but now it is all destroyed and there is no one left"There used to be a temple in that village, and I heard it was quite spiritual" Lu Xueqi suddenly felt a shock all over her body. After a moment, she slowly turned around and said again  Yes, looking at the path that is overgrown with grass, as if it has been lost in the afterimage of time

    How many things can be changed in ten years?  Appearance, mood, or hatred?

    No one can understand others, and sometimes even oneself cannot truly understand it. But this is the only way to truly change.

    Because there is no road here anymore

    The densely growing weeds, growing year after year, cover up the past history and bear witness to the ruthlessness of time. Until a white and lonely figure quietly approached the dusty place.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    After walking one after another, watching the stone steps of the stone steps that are crooked, quietly being covered by moss, the laughter of those who had had some laughter during his lifetime, and the happiness that once had, was dispersed with the wind?

    Lu Xueqi's face was slightly pale, and her slender and delicate hands held Tianya tightly. In this abandoned village, it seemed as if someone's eyes were watching her quietly. She even felt like she couldn't breathe.  a feeling of

    But she never stopped, just walking quietly, passing every house. Once upon a time, who still remembers the people here?

    Until she saw the ruined temple

    Different from the surrounding environment, there was no grass growing around the ruined temple that had long been in dilapidated condition. For some reason, it was a room, but it was better to say it was a few pillars. It was just a few broken stones that fell on the ground.  On the block, there is still a vague appearance of a statue of a god, and only then can we see where this place once was.

    Lu Xueqi slowly walked over

    There are no weeds or moss. Everything here seems incompatible with the surroundings. I don¡¯t know why. Even the weeds that grow so tenaciously don¡¯t want to enter here.

    Or, are all the resentments and resentments of the past gathered in this place?

    So in the dead of night, will there be people crying and whispering, talking about the past?

    Lu Xueqi suddenly turned around, and at some point, tears flashed in her eyes

    Caomiao Village

    This place has long been forgotten

    She sat quietly in the corner, motionless, as if she was quietly listening to something, or feeling something.

    There was wind blowing in the distance, blowing her black hair and fluttering gently on her temples.The sun rises and the moon sets, morning and evening, day and night, morning and evening, the stars change

    The white clouds in the sky are like dogs, disappearing like shooting stars, time is like water, and finally go away like this, never stopping for anyone.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Or, it¡¯s still the same old thing

    Who cares?

    It has been three days. Lu Xueqi sat quietly in this remote place for three days. The world is bound by restrictions and heavy responsibilities, but it turns out that only in such a place can she find a place to breathe and escape.

    Quietly, just treat it as indulgent and let yourself hide

    But, she still has to leave after all

    The white clothes swayed and came quietly. Lu Xueqi's figure reappeared, leaving the dilapidated small temple and walking through the doors of the huts under the ruined walls. For some reason, her eyes looking at this place seemed to contain Yiyi.  Reluctant affection

    In the distant sky, sky clouds were floating, and among the vague clouds, as if blown by the wind, there was a white line quietly crossing the sky. Lu Xueqi took one last look at these houses, turned around and left, and never looked back. That figure in white clothes was fluttering.  , walking away quietly in the grass

    Above the sky, the white clouds are still silent

    Just from the clouds, suddenly another swift glimmer of light flashed out, silently and quickly, with a few lingering white clouds on the clouds, dispersed in the air and quickly, this light fell on this abandoned small village.  middle

    ¡®Zhi Zhi, Zhi Zhi¡­¡¯ The familiar monkey cry, the three-eyed gray-haired monkey jumped to the ground and looked around. It was obvious that it was far happier in this wild place than in the heart of Huqi Mountain.

    Within a moment, the monkey jumped away on its own and got into the dense weeds, not knowing where to go to play.

    ??Gui Li, standing silently in the center of the village, expressionless

    Except for the tiredness and pain that cannot be concealed in the eyes

    He stared at everything around him and turned around slowly. Everything he once knew about the place slowly emerged in his mind. Even the wind blowing in the distance had a familiar smell.

    The fragrance of my hometown land

    And far behind him, behind the dense weeds, the white and slightly lonely figure finally disappeared into the distance

    He walked slowly, and the same things that once caught Lu Xueqi's eyes appeared in front of him, the ruins of the ruins, the mossy stone steps, and finally, the dilapidated small temple.

    It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t walk over, he just looked at the small temple from a distance, lost in thought. It was there that a young man¡¯s life was changed.

    He stood for a long time and looked for a long time, but in the end he did not pass. After a long time, he turned around, stepped on the weeds on the ground, and walked on the path where the distance between the houses could barely be distinguished. He walked very slowly, as if every time  Each step was extremely heavy, until he stopped in front of the third cabin in the second row.

    This is a house that is no different from other dilapidated houses. The same doors and windows are falling off, the same desolation and abandonment. Even the moss on the stone steps seems to be more than other houses.

    Gui Li's lips began to tremble slightly. For the first time in many years, he could not suppress tears in his eyes. Slowly, he knelt down in front of the hut and buried his head deeply in the ground in front of the hut.  In the wild grass

    ?? What was vaguely conveyed in the wind was a strangled and struggling whisper: ¡®Dad, mother¡¯ Heyang City

    After the beast monster catastrophe, the vitality of Heyang City was severely damaged, and there were countless casualties. However, after the disaster, life will always go on. People entering the city from all directions, as well as those who fled home, made this ancient city gradually lively.  Get up

    On the busiest street, the best restaurant in Heyang City is still the Shanhaiyuan where Zhang Xiaofan lived when he first came down the mountain. Although due to the disaster, the business seems to be deserted than ten years ago.  Quite a few. After all, people barely escape death and rarely have much thought to come here to eat and drink.

    But on this day, a strange guest came to Shanhaiyuan. This person was a young woman. She looked very beautiful, so that was fine. However, under this beautiful face, there was something about her every frown and smile.  It was a mind-blowing and strange feeling, as if just one glance at this woman's water-like eyes made the bones of the men around her soften by three points.

    That woman is none other than Xiaobai, the nine-tailed sky fox who was separated from Gui Li and Lu Xueqi after the great changes in southern Xinjiang.

    She walked into Shanhaiyuan Restaurant so openly and charmingly. For a moment, everyone from the shopkeeper to the waiter, including the only two tables of guests, were stunned. No one came up.  trickcall her

    Fortunately, Xiaobai seems to have been accustomed to this kind of situation, and he is not angry. He just smiled and said: "Isn't there anyone to entertain you?"  ' The words woke up the dreamer. After all, the shopkeeper was old and still had some strength left. He quickly composed himself, and then fell into a daze. The waiter standing nearby hit the back of his head and said angrily: 'Here comes the guest.  , why don¡¯t you go say hello?  ¡¯ The waiter staggered, wondering if there was something wrong in his heart. Qiqi Aai came up, not daring to look at Xiao Bai, and said with a smile: ¡®Girl, do you want to eat or stay in the hotel?  ¡¯ Xiaobai thought for a while and said, ¡®It¡¯s better to eat something first. Do you have a private seat here?  The waiter nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, please go upstairs." Xiaobai nodded, walked upstairs, and said, "Find me a quiet place by the window." The waiter smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl."  , you are the only one in the upstairs seating area, you will be given any seat you want, and it is guaranteed to be quiet, no one will disturb you." Xiaobai was slightly startled, and said: "How come there is no one? I heard that this place used to be  Business is good?  The waiter in the shop had already walked upstairs. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Who says it's not the case? The business was so good back then. Everyone in Heyang City came to our place to have a drink. God damn it.  The beast monster caused trouble for a while, causing people to panic, and eventually there were countless casualties. At this time, not many people would want to come here." Xiaobai nodded slowly, sighed softly, and said: "So it turns out  That's right, it's no wonder. At this time, the waiter had taken Xiaobai to a table by the window upstairs and sat down, and was wiping the table with the rag he brought with him.

    Xiaobai sat in his seat and looked out the window. He saw pedestrians coming and going on the street. It was quite lively, but there were few smiles on most people's faces. Instead, there were more people with sad faces.

    Xiaobai watched silently for a moment, and suddenly asked the waiter: "Waiter, I want to ask you something, please answer me honestly." The waiter nodded and said, "Miss, please ask." Xiaobai hesitated for a moment and said, "This is Heyang City."  Do all the people here, including you of course, hate that monster in their hearts?  The waiter snorted, with a look of resentment on his face, and said loudly: "Of course, in the disaster of beasts and monsters in Heyang City, ten rooms and nine are empty, you can just go and find someone on the street."  Ask, I guarantee that he definitely has relatives who died under the claws of that beast monster. We ordinary people are defenseless and unable to resist, but fortunately there are immortals on Qingyun Mountain who showed great mercy and power and drove away the beast monster that was killed that day.  , This allowed us to live a human life again." Xiaobai looked at the excited expression of the waiter and smiled bitterly in his heart. Somehow, in front of his eyes, he passed by the person who was deep in the ancient cave of Zhenmo in southern Xinjiang, under the residual fire.  The figure of a dying man

    Who can tell clearly what is right or wrong in this world?

    The waiter in the shop seemed to realize that he was a little embarrassed. His face turned red, he took a step back and whispered: "This, I'm just talking about this casually. Girl, don't take it seriously. Do you want to order something?"  Xiaobai smiled and said: "Okay, but there is no need to order any dishes. You go down and tell the shopkeeper to make three or four plates of your specialty side dishes. In addition, you can bring ten jugs of good wine."  The waiter was startled and said in astonishment: "Ten pots?"  Xiaobai glanced at him, nodded and said: The waiter at Shihu shop choked for a moment, then hesitated for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Girl, do you have any friends coming? If so, I can join you in advance."  "Some bowls and chopsticks." Xiaobai smiled and said, "Don't think too much. I'm the only one. I need ten jugs of wine. Bring it over quickly. Don't ask about anything else." The waiter in the shop retreated with a nod, but his eyes were obviously displeased.  In fact, you can't blame him for the look of confidence. The most powerful ordinary people can only drink one or two bottles. People who can drink four or five bottles are either drunkards or drunkards. It's just this infinitely charming woman. Obviously,  They are 'ordinary people' who cannot be judged by common sense.

    Because there were not many customers, the waiter quickly brought the dishes that Xiaobai asked for and placed them on the table. The ten wine bottles with Shanhaiyuan engraved on the outside were also neatly placed in a short time.  Put it on the other side of the wine table

    It¡¯s a good thing that this is a time when the restaurant¡¯s business is light. Otherwise, if it were busy, wouldn¡¯t it attract all the guests in the restaurant to watch?  But even so, I'm afraid Xiaobai won't care

    The waiter quickly went down, and Xiaobai was the only one left in the booth. She poured herself a glass of wine, and soon the bottom of the bottle of wine was gone, and a faint pink color appeared on her cheeks.  Not even half drunk, but more charming.

    ¡®Alas¡­¡¯ She suddenly, so lightly, sighed

    The wine is as pure as amber and as thin as a thread. It is poured from the mouth of the pot into the wine glass, causing tiny splashes of water. Xiaobai stares at the wine glass in front of her, looking at her own vague reflection gently swaying on the water, and then she smiles.  , there was a trace of bitterness in his smile, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp

    On the streets outside the window, people were making all kinds of noises and rushing past. Those sounds seemed to be very far away, as if??is in another world

    She put the sixth empty wine bottle aside

    The gentle blush on her cheeks reflects her ageless and eternal beauty, and her eyes are still clear

    ??Always drunk, never drunk

    She bit her lower lip gently with her white teeth. She smiled softly, then shook her head and raised her hand to pour wine. On the street outside the window, for some reason, the noise seemed to suddenly become louder. Xiaobai frowned.  Frowning, he moved to the window and looked towards the street.

    With this glance, she was suddenly startled. She saw a woman in white walking slowly on the street downstairs. Her appearance was as beautiful as a fairy, but who could she be if she wasn't Lu Xueqi?

    The people around seemed to be attracted by Lu Xueqi's peerless appearance, but they were also intimidated by her cold temperament. They did not dare to go forward directly. They gathered to watch from a distance and talked about it. But it was for this reason that Xiaobai looked at Lu Xueqi's figure, and the corners of his mouth slowly moved.  A smile appeared

    "We meet each other everywhere in life" She said to herself with a half-smile, then stood up, looking like she wanted to take the initiative to say hello to Lu Xueqi.

    She just stood up, and suddenly her expression was startled. Her eyes left Lu Xueqi under the street and drifted to a remote corner in the distance of Heyang City.

    A familiar black figure flashed past very quickly, and then disappeared into another dark corner. Just a moment later, another gray figure who was not unfamiliar to her followed closely.

    Xiaobai stared at the corner for a while, and then a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Today is a coincidence. If I didn't join in the fun, I would really be sorry for myself and that old ghost Shangguan, hehe, hehe"  'Amid the sneer, her figure suddenly disappeared from the upper floor of Shanhaiyuan like a ghost. After a long time, the waiter came up to clean up, and only saw one ingot of silver on the table and six empty ones.  The wine flask, and the other four flasks, have disappeared.

    And on the street, Lu Xueqi¡¯s figure suddenly disappeared from the street at some point.
