Fenxiang Valley.
The majestic Temple of Mountains and Rivers was completely silent at the moment. Except for a group of elite disciples like Li Xun who entered the mysterious Hundred Thousand Mountains, most of the Fenxiang Valley disciples were either on duty in the valley, or they were practicing in their own rooms. For homework, I seldom come to the main hall of Fenxiang Valley. This is also the most deserted time of the day in Shanhe Palace except for late 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 sky far away, in the depths of the mysterious and dangerous Shiwanda Mountains, there is a huge pillar of fire rushing up to the sky, bringing with it roaring crimson magma and thick black-gray clouds, which are mixed with countless rock fragments. The power sent high into the sky, and then sputtered in all directions like a burst.
Even though they were far apart, they seemed to be able to feel the huge roar that resounded between the heaven and the earth, and even under their feet, they could faintly feel the earth trembling slightly. If this is the case thousands of miles away, what kind of unimaginable scene will it be in the eruption deep in the 100,000 mountains
No one knew, at least, neither of the two people standing in the Shanhe Palace at the moment knew.
Yun Yilan's face looked very indifferent, for a long time, he didn't even say a word, but silently watched the huge pillar of fire that had erupted for a long time, but did not weaken at all. And the person standing behind him was his junior brother, Shangguan Ce, who was also looking at the huge pillar of fire at the moment, but his expression was much more complicated, and his expression seemed to be uncertain.
a long time.
In the silence, the darkness came quietly, and the sky gradually dimmed. During this time, several disciples passed by here, but they soon realized that there was something wrong with the atmosphere here, and quickly backed away. Later, with the last twilight When the light gradually disappeared, even if you raised your eyes to look far away, the vision of the distant sky gradually became blurred.
In the distance, in a certain corner of Fenxiang Valley, there was a low sound of insects, and there was no sound, far or near, I don't know what they were calling, but it further set off the huge mountain and river palace, which was like snow and ice. Generally deserted.
Yun Yilan's body in the shadow moved a bit, and then slowly turned around.
Shangguan Ce looked at him silently, Yun Yilan's eyes met his in mid-air for a moment, then turned away for some reason, turned around slowly, and walked towards the Shanhe Palace. Shangguan Ce sighed secretly in his heart, took one last look at the direction of the southern sky, turned around and walked in.
The low footsteps echoed in the silent Shanhe Palace, but they seemed so loud!
The sound of heavy footsteps, I don't know whose heart it is stepping on
Yun Yilan slowly sat down on the seat in the middle of the main hall, it was dark, but there were no lights here, it was not that the disciples of Fenxianggu were lazy, it was just such a night, but it seemed to be different, they all knew it come.
Yun Yilan was sitting in the darkness, his face was a bit blurred. After a while, he suddenly said: "Unexpectedly, there is someone in this world who can destroy the ancient cave of Zhenmo and kill that evildoer?"
Shangguan Ce sat down beside Yun Yilan. Although he was Yun Yilan's younger brother, his face was much older than Yun Yilan's, but at this moment his voice seemed to be older than Yun Yilan's. Yi Lan was more normal, and said calmly: "Since Daoxuan of Qingyun Sect was able to severely injure the Beast God, it is not too surprising that someone can find a way to kill the Beast Demon now."
Yun Yilan was silent for a long time without speaking, but after a long while, he suddenly gave a wry smile, shook his head, and said, "Man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation after all. A hundred years of hard work has been wasted like this."
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 stopped talking immediately, the atmosphere seemed a little awkward, but Yun Yilan was obviously in a bad mood at the moment, and didn't intend to ease it at all, just sat there silently, not saying a word.
On Shangguan Ce's old face, the wrinkles seemed to be deeper in the dark shadows, and complex lights shone in his eyes, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, Yun Yilan suddenly called out, "Junior Brother Shangguan."
Shangguan Ce was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What?"
Yun Yilan said indifferently: "Others don't understand, but only you and I know the secrets of my Fenxiang Valley. You should know why the Patriarch established a school in the remote place of Fenxiang Valley in southern Xinjiang back then. right?"
Shangguan Ce sighed, with a hint of vicissitudes in his tone, and said, "It's because the Patriarch discovered the 'Xuanhuo Altar', a relic of the ancient Southern Xinjiang witches here, and discovered the strange and powerful secret of witchcraft. "
Yun Yilan nodded slowly, and said: "That's right, because of this, the Fenxianggu sect has taken root in the remote southern border, established a sect, and continued to this day. The various mysterious witchcrafts of the ancient witches, coupled with The true law and Taoism handed 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 trace of desolation, and said: "But in the past few hundred years, even though the ancestors of all generations have exhausted their efforts, the most powerful force among the ancient witches in southern Xinjiang 'Skyfire,' and we've still only scratched the surface."
His expression gradually became angry, and he said coldly: "When I inherited the position of Valley Lord, I swore a solemn oath in front of the ancestors of the past generations, that I must discover the secret of the sky fire of the witch clan, and let our Fenxiang Valley lineage dominate the world from now on. , the leader of the group. But I never thought that instead of this, even the only key to explore the power of 'Heavenly Fire', the map of the eight fierce mysterious fire circles passed down by the witch clan, has been destroyed, what's more Or, even the most important Profound Fire Mirror is lost!"
In the darkness, Shangguan Ce's body trembled suddenly.
"Crack!" There was a crisp sound, but it came from Yun Yilan's hand. In his anger, he used force with his hands, and he actually knocked down the armrest of the seat.
In the Shanhe Palace, there was a moment of silence.
After a long while, Yun Yilan sighed suddenly, stood up slowly, and said in a desolate tone, "Under the predicament that day, I happened to know from the ancient books in southern Xinjiang that in this world, besides the Xuanhuo Altar, there is also the Ancient Demon Cave There is still a formation map in it, so there is today's matter of seeking skin from a tiger, but it's a pity... alas."
He let out a long sigh, with indescribable fatigue on his face.
Outside the desolate Mountain and River Hall, apart from the low chirping of insects, there was no other sound. Most of the disciples of Fenxiang Valley fell asleep peacefully! Who would know that in such a dark night, there are two old people sitting silently in the Shanhe Palace
Yun Yilan seemed to be in an extremely restless mood today, her former composure was gone, her heart was revealed unexpectedly, she seemed upset, she paced back and forth for several times, finally, after looking up to the sky and sighing, she shook her head with a wry smile, said nothing, and silently turned to the back Church to go.
Shangguan Ce sat on the spot without moving, seeing Yun Yilan's figure was about to disappear in the dark back hall of Shanhe Palace, but suddenly there was a flash of light in his eyes, as if he was hesitating, and finally made a decision and Decided to stand up.
"Brother!"
Yun Yilan paused for a moment, turned around, and said calmly, "What's the matter?"
Shangguan Ce slowly, as if he had thought about every word carefully, said: "After I think about it carefully, there may be hope for this matter."
Yun Yilan raised her eyebrows and said, "What did you say?"
Shangguan Ce seemed to feel a little dry mouth, his throat moved, and he said slowly: "Today, the two known places in the world where there are still pictures of the eight fierce mysterious fire magic circles, the Xuanhuo Altar and the Ancient Demon Suppressing Cave, have been destroyed. If you want to delve into the mystery of 'Skyfire' from this map again, I'm afraid the future is bleak."
Yun Yilan snorted and said, "That's right, what do you say?"
Shangguan Ce was silent for a moment, and said: "I'm thinking, the array map is a dead thing, after this road is blocked, maybe we can start with people."
Yun Yilan was a little impatient, and said, "Who would know..."
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, his expression turned solemn, he pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "You mean that after the Zhenmo Ancient Cave collapsed, there will still be some people from the Southern Xinjiang Witch Clan survive?"
Shangguan Ce took a deep breath, as if some heavy burden had been weighing on his heart, but after a while, he still said: "I'm not very sure now, but according to my guess, after everything in Zhenmogu Cave was wiped out, those few very 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 raised his head slowly, and said in a bitter tone, "If my predictions are correct, this person might survive, if so, this person is the one who knows the most about the mysteries of the ancient witch clan's witchcraft in this world From him, we may gain something from him, but we can’t say for certain.”
Yun Yilan pondered silently, but the expression on his face gradually became cheerful and focused. After a while, he suddenly nodded and said, "Yes, junior brother, you really have insight. Although there is little hope for this matter, it is better than despair That’s it. In that case, I’ll trouble you to take a trip to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The main purpose is to investigate this matter. By the way, I’ll also see how Xun’er and the others are doing. He has encountered a big change in his trip this time, which was beyond what was expected , it’s hard for him.”
Shangguan Ce sighed silently in his heart, stood up, nodded and said: "Yes."
Yun Yilan glanced at him, and suddenly a smile appeared on the ground, and said: "Junior brother, I was in a bad mood just now, maybe my tone of voice was wrong, don't take it to heart."
Shangguan Ce shook his head and said, "Senior brother, what are you talking about, you won't."
Yun Yilan smiled and nodded, then turned around, walked into the back hall of Shanhe Palace, and disappeared into the shadows.
On the huge mountain and river hall, there was only a lonely shadow left, standing silently.
Darkness surged over quietly, engulfing his figure.
※※※
Southern Xinjiang, one hundred thousand mountains.
The huge roar that resounded between the sky and the earth, and the volcanic roar that made the earth tremble, finally weakened slowly after three days and three nights of crazy eruption.
The fire and rain like the scene of the end of the day did not know when it stopped, but there were burn marks everywhere on countless mountains, rivers, and the earth. Looking up from a distance, it seemed that there were still countless fireheads. burned on the land.
However, the dark clouds in the sky finally dissipated slowly, and once again cast a warm radiance, illuminating the land.
Even though standing in the distance, the air is still somewhat filled with the irritable smell of burning sulfur, but at this time, in the light wind blowing from the distant sky, there is more, but it is already a fresh smell.
Everything will eventually come to an end.
Everything seems to be about to start again...
The sun and the moon rotate and shuttle non-stop; as the stars move, who has seen the vicissitudes of life
Starry, bright moon rises.
The night wind is blowing, and the waves of the trees are blowing.
The peaceful night came here quietly.
With a low moan, like a sleeping baby, she stretched out her hand subconsciously, what did she grab
It was warm skin, a stable place, right beside her, solid and never left. There was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she had received some comfort in a dream.
In the night, under the starlight, the breeze blows gently.
Her hair was a little messy, and there were a few strands of black hair, shaking slightly in the night wind, falling on her jade-like cheeks. She frowned slightly, with a child-like innocent expression, such a messy beauty, as if she was in peace, slowly seeping into the depths of her soul.
Gui Li stared silently at this sleeping face, she was right beside him, as if she had never been so close before. She fell asleep peacefully, breathing the fresh air in the southern Xinjiang night, the wind blew by, her chest rose and fell slowly, and the corner of her mouth smiled slightly.
He suddenly raised his head, and that round of bright moon was moving to the middle of the sky, emitting a soft and warm radiance, illuminating the world.
The moonlight is like water, sprinkled on them.
Clothes are like snow, people are like jade!
※※※
This is a cliff on the peak of the 100,000 mountains. It hangs out of the mountain for about ten feet. Because it is far away from the scorched black mountain where Zhenmogu Cave is located, the huge volcanic eruption caused by the collapse of Zhenmogu Cave will affect this place. It was not big, only some flames and a little lava mixed in the gravel mixed with the rain of fire, ignited a few fires, but they all subsided quickly.
On the high cliff, one can still vaguely see the place after that madness, but there are only countless ashes left.
After the two people who were in a desperate situation that day were rescued by the psychic god Xuanhuo Jian with the Xuanhuo Spirit Mask, they were too exhausted, and soon they both passed out, and when Gui Li woke up again , and already found that she and Lu Xueqi were on this precipice.
After the hustle and bustle, it was such a calm and cool night.
Suddenly, there was a soft cry from beside him, and he turned his head to look. The beautiful woman in her sleep slowly opened her eyes after a faint smile.
The clear, gentle eyes that reflected his figure...
Suddenly, as if the world stood still, somewhere in the depths of his soul burst quietly!
Then, after staring deeply, she smiled slightly, as if with a hint of shyness.
That smile is like a beautiful lily in the middle of the night and in the darkness!
For a long time, but it seems like a short moment, that time has become meaningless, who cares
Gui Li also smiled, a gentle smile, that smile seemed to be that boy from back then.
She stretched out her hand, wanting to hold his hand and not let go, but found that the two people's hands had already been held together and had never been separated. A faint blush flashed across her face, and she slowly sat up.
The clothes slipped off quietly, and it was Gui Li's coat covering her body, she glanced at Gui Li, but she didn't say anything, but the quiet smile at the corner of her mouth seemed to grow stronger again.
The night wind blows gently, as if a gentle hand has passed by the side. In the distance, there are waves of trees in the forest on the mountain peak, echoing 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, beside Tianya At this moment, Ghost Li's Soul Eater was also quietly lying on the ground.
The two magic weapons seem to be so quiet at this moment, who knows what kind of past they have? The faint cyan light on Soul Devourer shone, and it complemented the light blue light of Tianya beside it. This pair of magic weapons that had been entangled for thousands of years, looked at this moment, as if they also seemed to be somewhat integrated.
Suddenly there was a low growl from behind, the two turned their heads to look, and 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 a little restless, but Soon, a familiar "creak creak" sounded, seeming to comfort it. After a while, Taotie became very quiet and didn't make any more sound.
The two turned their heads and looked at each other.
Gui Li hesitated slightly, and said: "That's Taotie, I came here for it. Tomorrow, I should have..."
Suddenly, he stopped talking, because at this moment, a soft white palm gently covered his mouth.
He was silent for a moment, and his body seemed to tremble slightly.
The night wind blew past quietly, 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. After a long time, this man who had haunted her dreams, said softly and in a low voice: "Don't worry about tomorrow, okay?"
The moonlight falls into the world like ice and snow.
Gui Li stared blankly at her, at her peerless face and gentle smile, at the persistence and faint sadness behind that smile, the night wind was still blowing, her hair was draped over her shoulders, fluttering gently , There is also a faint fragrance, wafting in the wind.
Her figure was actually so thin at this moment, but such a beauty seemed to have never been erased by countless vicissitudes in the world.
Never mind tomorrow
Okay
※※※
Bright moon and stars.
The night was fading.
He quietly took her hand and held it in the palm of his hand.
Under the endless sky, who would care about the tiny happiness in this world
His thin body seemed to be trembling slightly in the night wind, and his throbbing feelings seemed to have wandered in the long river of time for thousands of years.
In the sky, is there someone smiling and looking into the distance
Is it joy? Is it pain
No matter what, what is tomorrow, what will happen tomorrow, why care about it
Embrace it!
Hold you, gently embrace, in my arms...
