    The setting sun, the glow, the clouds, the long stone steps in front of Kunwu Mountain, and the winding mountain road leading to the peak.  There is only the last day left before the date of the alliance agreed by all parties. Lanterns were set up early on the green pines and cypresses on the roadside.  Elites from the Dao, Tiandu and Yunzhongjian factions gathered together, and a number of righteous cultivators came after hearing the news.  Kunwu Sword Sect, as the host, was naturally very happy to see this unprecedented event. It was only waiting for Rong Danyuan, the leader of Tianzong who initiated this alliance, and Gu Tianji, the head of Taijia Sect, who has always been low-key and mysterious among the eight sects, to come.  .  Everyone understands that this is a grand event that has never happened in thousands of years.  In particular, the Tianzong, which has always ignored secular affairs and has a transcendent status, would actually take the initiative to summon the heads of the eight sects to jointly eliminate demons and defend the way. Of course, no one would doubt that the Emperor of Heaven was personally in charge this time.  The battle to exterminate demons will surely end in triumph.  Seeing the sunset, the twilight is getting thicker on the west mountain, and Guanjing Peak is as bright as daylight under the light of lanterns. If it were not taboo for Taoist cultivation land to make wanton noise, the more than a thousand guests would have filled the sky with excitement.  "Master Rong of the Tianzong, together with the elders and disciples of Guanzhichi, have arrived -" a voice was singing from the mountain gate to the inside of Miaoyun Temple, which immediately made the crowd excited.  Master Xuan Yu of the Kunwu Sect had been waiting for a long time. Hearing the news, he led all his disciples to come out to greet him. The heads of various sects who had arrived at Kunwu Mountain first, and dozens of famous elders who were said to be righteous, all followed him.  Master Xuan Yu rushed outside the mountain gate together.  Others, who thought they were less qualified and were not qualified to meet, crowded shoulder to shoulder on the side of the road. Those who were short and could not stand in the front row simply climbed rocks and trees, vying to see the glory of the Emperor of Heaven.  "Compared with the grandeur and enthusiasm of the front mountain, in the quiet and quiet Kunwu back mountain, there is a person who is depressed and unhappy, walking alone among the winding paths of the dense forest.  He is Lin Yi's senior brother, Song Zhenyuan, the leader of the six disciples of Master Xuan Qian.  A few years ago, Master Xuan Qian was killed in the stone mansion where he was retreating. The tragedy shocked both the good and the evil.  The murderer turned out to be Lin Yi, his most beloved and respected close disciple during his lifetime, which really surprised everyone.  Since then, Lin Yi has been on the run, but has repeatedly created miracles through various opportunities and coincidences.  Not only was he appointed leader of the Underworld Sect and conquered the five demonic palaces, but he also organized a small Rong Ruodie to gather people to cause trouble in the Western Regions. The most intolerable thing was that he broke into Guanzhi Pond alone and took Yan Luanshuang, the descendant of Tianzong, away.  .  Speaking of Lin Yi today, his momentum is at its peak and his reputation is notorious.  As for Luo Yu, another lay disciple of Xijianzhai, because he stubbornly disobeyed his master's orders in front of others and defended Lin Yi, he was also kicked out of the door. Since then, he lived in seclusion in Kongyou Valley and rebuilt Baiyuan Garden with the Flower Demon Jade Tea, and never returned.  Cross Kunwu Mountain.  "As a result, Song Zhenyuan is the only one left among the three secular brothers in the past. It can be said that things have changed.  He knew that because of his old friendship with Lin Yi and Luo Yu, he would inevitably arouse the suspicion and precautions of his elders, including Xuan Yu Zhenren, so he became frustrated and simply closed the door to recuperate and start planting flowers and weeding.  However, the Eight Righteous Sects of the Tianzong Alliance wanted to encircle and suppress the Ming Sect and then kill Lin Yi. It was such a sensational event that Song Zhenyuan couldn't even imagine it. From the beginning to the end, he found it hard to believe that Lin Yi would do such an unreasonable thing to harm his mentor.  of bad behavior.  However, the irrefutable evidence was so overwhelming that he was helpless.  When he thought that in a few days all the families would send troops to the South China Sea and engage in bloody battles, Song Zhenyuan couldn't help but feel confused and unable to control himself. So, he quietly went to the grave of Xuanqian Zhenren located in the back mountain, trying to figure out the unsolvable mystery.  All my worries and depression were poured out to my deceased mentor.  He walked slowly to the back mountain. The sky was dim and the birds chirping in the forest added to the tranquility.  Suddenly, Song Zhenyuan vaguely smelled a faint scent of incense candles in the evening breeze, and couldn't help but wonder: "It's time to gather in the front mountain at this time. Who else would sneak up to the back mountain to worship like me?" Curiosity arose.  , he stepped up his pace and arrived outside Songhe Garden in a blink of an eye.  Here are buried the sages and elders of the past dynasties from the founder of the Kunwu Sect, including his mentor, the former head of the Kunwu Sect, Zhenren Xuanqian.  Suddenly he stopped in front of the white marble archway, and found the two disciples who were usually responsible for taking care of Songhe Garden lying in the haystack, with angry eyes wide open and unable to move.  Song Zhenyuan was startled and leaned forward to help these two people unlock their meridians.  Unexpectedly, he tried to change the techniques but couldn't achieve any results. He couldn't help but wonder: "This technique of sealing the meridians and locking the meridians is really weird. I don't know who it is, and what is it doing in Songhe Garden?" At that moment, he was secretly alert and looked at those two people.  The fellow disciple whispered: "Two junior brothers, please be patient for a moment. Once I find out the situation in the garden, I will immediately report to the master master and ask him to send someone to rescue." He stood up and used the concealment technique, using the dark  In the dusk and covered by the pine trees and rocks in the garden, Song Zhenyuan quietly approached the direction where the scent of incense and candles came.  What made him even more surprised was that the scent of incense and candles was clearly coming from the tomb of his mentor, Master Xuan Qian. Could it be that there was really someone fighting for the same goal as him????  His thoughts fluctuated and he asked, "Could it be that Junior Brother Luo has also come back quietly?" He hid behind a rock that was more than two feet high, and stared at the tomb of Zhenren Xuanqian for a closer look.  It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Song Zhenyuan almost shouted out when he looked at it.  In front of the tombstone, he saw a young man in black kneeling silently. Although it was just a back view, his long and straight back was enough for Song Zhenyuan to recognize at a glance that the person was Lin Yi.  The only thing that was a little surprising was that Lin Yi's long hair had a silvery white brilliance, just like the clear light spread by the cold moon in the sky.  Not far behind him, stood a peerless young girl in green clothes, half of her face was stunningly beautiful in the light of candles; she just stood there casually, but it seemed that all the colors in the world were dimmed.  That otherworldly temperament will make anyone's heart flutter when they see it.  Outside the girl, there were two old monks standing still, chanting scriptures on salvation in a low voice.  No matter which angle you look at it, you can conclude that these two old monks are definitely not ordinary people.  Song Zhenyuan froze there, forgetting what he should do.  Lin Yi burned the last two pieces of yellow paper in his hand, kowtowed his head respectfully, and said in a low voice: "Master, the disciple is back. Tonight I will seek justice and revenge for you. Please protect the disciple Ma in the spirit of heaven.  It's done!" After saying that, he turned around and said, "Luan Shuang, please come and pay homage to me. I know my master, and he will definitely be very happy." Yan Luanshuang nodded lightly and looked at Lin Yi.  He knelt down beside him, bowed three times to the grave of Master Xuan Qian, and prayed in a low voice.  After the ceremony, Lin Yi helped her stand up, turned around and smiled at the rock where Song Zhenyuan was hiding: "Senior Brother Song, you are here too. We have been apart for a long time, how are you doing?" Song Zhenyuan asked secretly.  "The rumors outside these years are indeed true. My junior brother is now very good at cultivation and has already noticed that I am here." He was happy and sad at the same time. He walked out from behind the rock and said with a forced smile: "It's not bad, it's good.  You got here like this. Junior Brother Lin, were you the ones who knocked down the two disciples guarding the tomb?" Lin Yi said, "It's me. After two sticks of incense, their meridians will clear up and everything will be fine."  Don't worry." Song Zhenyuan stood still in front of Lin Yi. For a moment, he felt that this little junior brother who was so close to him and who had been with him day and night had now become so strange and distant.  Can the distance of time and space really ruthlessly separate two once-close brotherly hearts?  He had mixed feelings and sighed: "Junior brother Lin, do you know that the Kunwu Mountain right now is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den to you. You really shouldn't come back and take risks again." Lin Yi's smile did not diminish on his thin face, and he said  : "If I don't come to Kunwu, they will quickly attack Wanchao Palace. When I come to Kunwu, I can take the opportunity to make a complete end." Song Zhenyuan felt a chill in his heart, as if he saw the misery of countless people lying in a pool of blood.  Xiang, including Kunwu disciples from the same sect as himself, asked in a solemn voice: "Is it necessary to be like this?" Thinking of Lin Yi's words when he paid homage to the grave just now, Song Zhenyuan hesitated for a moment and said: "You mean, there is  What's the point?" Lin Yi smiled secretly and replied: "The sky is vast and there is no omission. For the sake of master and myself, I should come back to seek justice, right?" He patted him.  Song Zhenyuan put his shoulder on his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, if there was no chance of winning, how could I be stupid enough to come to my door to be slaughtered?" At this time, the figure in the distance flashed, and the person was approaching, Ye Youyu was carrying Xiao Jin.  , Xiaoqing bowed to Lin Yi and reported: "Master, we are all ready. We are just waiting for your order to start." Lin Yi nodded.  Song Zhenyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Junior brother Lin, Brother Yu has something to say, I wonder if you are willing to listen to it?" Lin Yi looked at Song Zhenyuan, his eyes gradually gained warmth, and said in a deep voice: "No matter how many years have passed, no matter the past or the future  No matter what happens, I will always be your junior brother. So if you have anything to say to me, I will gladly obey you.¡±  No matter how brilliant your achievements are, Brother Yu only hopes that you can remember the teachings of your mentor in the past, and never let this fairy mountain that has raised you and me for decades become a river of blood and littered with corpses." Lin Yi said solemnly: "Senior Brother Song's.  You told me to remember and never kill recklessly!" Song Zhenyuan smiled, and then said: "You should be more careful yourself. I don't know what happened to our three brothers, how many days have passed?  Can we have a good drink together?" Lin Yi smiled and said, "I believe it will be soon. Senior brother, I need to take a step first!" He hugged Song Zhenyuan's shoulders and said, "Take care."  !" Song Zhenyuan pressed Lin Yi's shoulders hard and shook him hard., eyes filled with tears, he whispered: "Junior brother, please take this very seriously!" Lin Yi smiled and let go of Song Zhenyuan, and greeted Yan Luanshuang and others: "Let's go." A group of five people headed towards the front mountain to brave the wind.  .  Song Zhenyuan watched Lin Yi go away, a strong feeling of melancholy and sorrow lingering in his heart. After standing stunned for a long time, he came to the tomb of Master Xuan Qian and knelt down.  As soon as he lowered his head, Song Zhenyuan couldn't help but be stunned. He saw three small words "Gu Jiantan" printed on the mud. The traces were fresh, and it was obviously what happened just now.     What does it mean?  Song Zhenyuan was full of doubts and couldn't figure it out. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Gujiantan, located under the Wudie Waterfall in the back mountain, just over ten miles away from Songhe Garden on the mountain road. The scenery there is pleasant, but it is rarely visited on weekdays.  Lin Yi deliberately left this place name on the dirt to remind himself. Is there a mystery hidden in it?  He couldn't figure out Lin Yi's intention, so after paying homage to Master Xuan Qian, he walked directly to the old sword pond and arrived in front of the pond in a blink of an eye.  The sound of the five-layer waterfall is rumbling, and the shadows in the sky in the blue pool are as quiet as before.  Song Zhenyuan stood by the pond and looked carefully, and sure enough, he quickly discovered something was wrong.  Several towering ancient trees located on the west side of Gujiantan seemed to have been broken by someone, cut off at the waist, and fell crookedly among the overgrown rocks. The surrounding rocks were scattered everywhere, making it very messy.  He raised his alertness and rushed over. Wherever he looked, he was shocked to see a corpse lying in the grass about half a man high. A simple and heavy fairy sword fell beside his hand.  Judging from his attire, he was obviously a Taoist priest, but his back made Song Zhenyuan even more familiar.  Song Zhenyuan took a deep breath to calm down his nervous mood, squatted down and turned the body over, and immediately said in shock: "Uncle Xuanshu!"  In response, he showed that he had been exhausted for a long time. A trace of blood on the corner of his lips had dried. The Taoist robe on his body was damaged in several places, revealing shocking palm marks. It seemed that he was unfortunately killed after a fierce battle.  Next to the corpse, where Xuan Shu's left hand dropped, he used his fingers to draw a small word: Lin.  "Lin!" Song Zhenyuan felt a bang in his head and was completely stunned.  Without even thinking about it, he could guess the terrifying message behind the word.  Master Xuan Shu's wounds were all in front of him. How many people in the world could kill him on the spot with the surname "Lin"?  Song Zhenyuan felt an inexplicable chill all over his body, and he shivered unconsciously.  Just now, Lin Yi solemnly promised not to kill in Kunwu.  But in fact, he had already killed his master uncle Xuan Shu a few hours ago!  Song Zhenyuan's hands were trembling, his head was in a mess, and he didn't know where to go.  Suddenly, a bright light seemed to shine in the confusion, and he immediately woke up and said: "No, since Junior Brother Lin deliberately guided me to come here, and the handwriting left by Senior Uncle Xuan Shu before his death was so obvious, how could he not see it?"  Reason? "Is it possible that someone is setting up a frame-up, and Junior Brother Lin intends to make the murder of Senior Uncle Xuan Shu public to the public through me, and then find a solution?  " Thinking of this, my spirits perked up, and my thoughts suddenly became smoother. I continued to calculate: "By the way, Junior Brother Lin has always been smart, and there is no way he would be so careless.  The killing of Uncle Xuan Shu had a huge impact on the righteous factions, but the losses were minimal.  "Besides, there is no grudge between them. Junior Brother Lin has no reason to intensify public anger at this moment and commit a murder just at the moment when the various factions are meeting. There must be something hidden in it!" He thought for a moment, then cautiously  He placed the body of Xuan Shu as it was and roared to warn the people heading towards the mountain.  These whistling sounds, which are three long and two short, with distinct sections, are the liaison signals of the Kunwu Sect to deliver a serious warning message.  He warned three times in a row, indicating that the situation was extremely urgent, and then stood aside and waited anxiously.  After a while, four young disciples of the Kunwu sect who were responsible for patrolling the mountain, led by Master Xuanlan, rushed over.  Seeing this situation, Master Xuanlan said nothing, took out a message cannon from his cuff, shot it high into the sky with a flick of his finger and dispersed it with a "bang", and ordered the disciples sitting down to say: "Seal the old sword pool, and no one else is allowed to approach.  !" In the blink of an eye, as soon as this cannon shot up into the sky, Zhenren Xuanyu, the leader of each faction, Su Lao, the Heavenly Emperor Rong Danyuan, the Great Elder Duan Molong, and more than 30 people arrived quickly.  When everyone saw the body of Master Xuan Shu, they all changed their colors in horror, and there was a dead silence in the place.  After Master Xuanyu, Rong Danyuan, and Chu Zhentan carefully inspected Master Xuanshu's injuries, they raised their heads and asked, "Who was the first discoverer?" Song Zhenyuan stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Uncle, Master Qizhen,  It was the disciple who just sounded the alarm." Master Xuanding frowned and said, "Oh, you are not helping guests from all walks of life in the front mountain. What are you doing here alone?" Song Zhenyuan was about to reply when he suddenly heard the alarm ringing again in the direction of Songhe Garden.  Xiao, after the restriction on the meridians of the two disciples guarding the mausoleum was lifted, they couldn't wait to roar to report the news.  Everyone looked at each other, wondering who could be so bold and dare to choose today to commit crimes on Kunwu Mountain.  Xuan Yuzhen¡¯s face was so seriousHe ordered: "Junior Brother Xuanlan, could you please go back to Songhe Garden?" Master Xuanlan took the order and left. Fei Jiu, who was an upright person, stared at the word "Lin" exposed under Master Xuanshu's left hand and said: "  Master Xuan Yu, is this the handwriting of Junior Brother Ling? "In fact, everyone present was paying attention to this word. Master Xuan Yu said sadly: "This is the only word that was scratched on the dirt with his fingers. Poor Taoist.  It is difficult to judge the authenticity of the handwriting." Rong Danyuan said slowly: "The index finger of Xuan Shu's left hand is stained with dirt, it should be him." Duan Molong shook his head and said, "If someone held his left hand and wrote it after he died.  "It's possible." Chu Zhentan said: "Probably not. Everyone, please pay attention to the posture of Xuan Shu's left hand. It is very natural." Everyone looked at the shape of Xuan Shu's left hand. Only the index finger was raised and the thumb was curled.  Above the middle finger, the ring finger and little finger naturally contracted, without seeming to be artificial, and they all nodded silently.  Qing Songzi, the head of the Tiandu Sect, asked: "Fellow Taoist Xuan Shu left a message before his death. Could it be that he is guiding us to find the murderer so that we can avenge him?"  His surname is Lin?" Master Xuan Ding said with gnashing of teeth, "Lin Yi! What a thief! But Senior Brother Xuanshu lived an upright life, but ended up in such a miserable end!" Master Xuan Yu shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Xuan Ding, before the truth comes out.  , The most taboo thing is to be prejudicial. After all, Lin Yi and Junior Brother Xuan Shu have no enmity, why would they do this for no reason?" Master Xuanding said loudly: "That little thief can kill his own master, let alone a master.  Uncle? That day he pretended to be guilty and went back to the mountain. Brother Xuanshu was determined to punish him severely. Lin Yi must have been holding a grudge and seeking revenge. " Song Zhenyuan listened to everyone's judgment and pointed his finger at Lin Yi, but he was very anxious.  He was just a second-generation disciple. In front of many sect leaders and elders, he was not even qualified to intervene and argue. He could only stand there with a worried face, waiting for Master Xuan Yu to interrogate himself, the first witness.  At this time, Master Xuanlan had already led the two disciples guarding Songhe Garden back in a hurry. Before he could get close, he loudly reported: "Brother, the leader, the demon Lin Yi has arrived in Kunwu. He was knocked down just now.  He sneaked into Songhe Garden after meeting Qingyue and Qingwei, but now he has gone to nowhere." There was a low sound of surprise in the crowd, and Master Xuanyu's face seemed to be covered with frost, and he said to Song Zhenyuan: "  Senior Nephew Song, Lin Yi has sneaked into Kunwu Mountain. Do you know this?" Song Zhenyuan quickly seized the opportunity and replied: "The disciple has indeed seen Junior Brother Lin in Songhe Garden, and it was he who guided the disciple to find Xuan Shu.  The master's uncle was discussing the case with the elders, and the disciple had no time to report it." Master Xuan Lan said angrily: "What an arrogant little thief! He was afraid that we wouldn't know that junior brother Xuan Shu was killed, so he did it on purpose.  Master Nephew Song said, "Lin Yi is here with bad intentions. He is probably here to cause trouble for our Righteous Alliance. He is just the beginning of harming Junior Brother Xuan Shu. There is a high probability that he will follow."  There are even more vicious methods! "From this moment on, Kunwu Mountain, especially Guanjing Peak, is on tight alert. Three teams of men are sent, with the three junior brothers Xuan Si, Scrophulariaceae and Xuan Heng in charge.  Search again and be sure to find Lin Yi and his accomplices!  " The demon-suppressing god Ni took the initiative to invite Ying and said: "Master Xuan Yu, Lin Yi is a public enemy of the righteous path, and it is not a matter for the noble sect.  The poor nuns on this trip are all elite masters from our nunnery. They are willing to listen to the master's instructions and work together to capture Lin Yi!  " Seeing the demon-suppressing god Ni's initiative, the heads of other factions also expressed their willingness to help search for Lin Yi. Master Xuan Yu was a little embarrassed. After all, the convenor of the Kunwu Alliance this time was tacitly understood by everyone.  Everyone knew that it was Rong Danyuan, the leader of Tianzong, who was pushed to the top of the list when the murder of Master Xuan Shu came out. Rong Danyuan could not help but worry about Rong Danyuan's feelings, and said calmly: "You don't have to.  All troops were mobilized to search for Lin Yi.  Not to mention that it is difficult to find him, even if his traces are found, he can come and go freely based on his cultivation, and no one can stop him.  " Fortunately, these words that greatly enhance other people's ambitions and destroy one's own prestige came from the mouth of the Heavenly Emperor Rong Danyuan, otherwise Fei Jiu would have been the first to roar. He looked at his master, Taoist Tianting, and said with hatred: "  Are we helpless and let this little thief run rampant?  " Rong Danyuan smiled noncommittally and replied: "Six days ago, Lin Yi made a war agreement with Rong.  Now that I'm here, he should show up in Kunwu soon to compete with Rong.  " Everyone murmured secretly, but they were worried about Rong Danyuan's identity and could not refute. The company elder who also came out of Guanzhi Pond did not have such scruples. He shook his head and said: "Senior Brother Rong may have overestimated this little thief.  If he is really upright and honorable in fulfilling his contract, why should he be so sneaky?He secretly sneaked up to Kunwu Mountain and killed Xuan Shu?  " Song Zhenyuan finally couldn't help but said loudly: "The murderer is not Junior Brother Lin!  " Who can stand here and perform freely, who is not a famous leader in the righteous way? Suddenly Song Zhenyuan shouted loudly, and everyone was startled. Master Xuanding could not lose his face and scolded: "Martial nephew Song, without permission  With the permission of your master, is there any reason for you to speak without permission?  Why don't you apologize to your elders!  " Song Zhenyuan felt a little guilty under the barrage of light, but when he thought of his junior brother's heartfelt vows in front of his mentor's tomb, and the thousands of hairs that turned gray before old age, blood suddenly surged in his chest, and he straightened his back and shouted loudly  He said: "It was Junior Brother Lin who guided the disciples to find the body of Uncle Xuan Shu. The disciples will never believe that he is the murderer!  " When Master Xuanding saw another disciple coming out of Xijianzhai who dared to openly resist the elder's will, he said angrily: "If you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being disrespectful. I will ask the law enforcement elder to punish you for the crime of disrespect!  "Suddenly he thought of the chief law enforcement elder of our sect, who was lying dead in the grass, and his anger became even more intense. It happened that at this time, the sound of bells and drums in Miaoyun Temple was loud, and the roar resounded throughout the mountain. "  Yu and others all changed their expressions, and said in shock and anger: "No, something happened in Taixuan Pavilion too!  " Song Zhenyuan's heart also sank, and he complained secretly: "Junior brother, junior brother, junior brother, I know you are brave enough, but you still don't think there is enough chaos?
