On the road, fallen leaves have covered the ground, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, I can see a golden color, but I don’t know whether it is the reluctance of the leaves after their lives have dispersed, or the retention of the setting sun. The breeze blew, rolling up the gold foil on the ground and entangling the steps of passers-by.
"Boss, we're probably going to have to sleep in the wilderness again tonight." Such sad words seemed to be something new in Yuan Hua's mouth, and they actually seemed very interesting. Not to mention the three Jia brothers who often call home everywhere, as long as Youya doesn't return to Bixia Valley, she seems to be in a fairyland everywhere.
Wu Fan was also used to the indifferent attitude of this group of people. This was quite good, he was cool and casual, and it saved him a lot of trouble compared to those delicate aristocratic children. He would catch him when he was hungry along the way. These little beasts and pheasants drink the morning dew from the stream when they are thirsty. They are carefree and full of contentment.
"Boss, how far is it from the Jade Hu Sect?" The group of people lit a fire early before nightfall, but after walking for several days, they were exhausted both physically and mentally, and they had fewer words to say. Yuan Hua suddenly said something. .
"It's about fifty miles away. We'll be there in about three hours tomorrow." Wu Fan looked around at the surrounding scenery and made an estimate, "Yuan Hua, by the way, when will you return to Jinsha Temple? You don't know how. Do you want to go to the Yuhu Sect with me?"
Hearing this, Yuan Hua scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Boss, I only know that Jinsha Temple is more than a hundred miles northwest of Yuhu Sect, and it takes a day's journey. So I can only find Jinsha when I go to Yuhu Sect. Temple, I'm a road idiot...Why are you three stupid guys laughing?"
Seeing the mocking expressions on the faces of the three Jia brothers after hearing this, Yuan Hua couldn't help but become angry and got into a fight with the three of them.
"You guys, please stop making trouble. You have to go on your way early tomorrow and take a rest early. By the way, Yuan Hua, we will pass some small villages on the road tomorrow. I will take you to supply some supplies, so you can go on your way alone."
"Okay, okay! Thank you, boss!"
It was just dawning the next day, and Wu Fan couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. He woke up early, but when he saw everyone was sleeping soundly, he didn't disturb them and just leaned against the tree in a daze.
At last count, it has been some time since I left the Yuhu Sect. I wonder how Yuan Chuhuofu and the others are doing? I wonder what their expressions would be like when they heard Zhao Xiaozhong talk about his experiences during this period. And I can finally meet the Master. I believe that my achievements will not disappoint him. It's just that I had to expose the Five Elements Man in order to save my life. I believe the Master will understand.
While Wu Fan was still deep in thought, everyone woke up one after another. Wu Fan remembered something again and hurriedly said to everyone: "Jia Hu, Jia Lang, Jia Xiong and You Ya, if you get to the Jade Hu Sect, you You must say that you want to be my disciple and that you and I just met by chance and we are traveling together, so don’t reveal the truth!”
"Yes! Brother!" Although the three Jia brothers didn't know what Wu Fan was thinking, their chests clapped loudly.
"Big devil, are you worrying too much? I don't want to have anything to do with you..." You Ya sneered at this.
"Don't get me wrong, this is what happened..." Because these people were considered close people, Wu Fan told them everything about how he entered the Jade Pot Sect without hiding anything.
The more these people listened, the more frightened they became. They originally thought that Wu Fan had outstanding talents, was vigorously cultivated by the sect, and only entered the ancient sect through the back door. However, they did not expect that this skill was so hard-won. If there was no chance encounter, he might have already It is the fertilizer for Beifeng Forest.
"It's really disgusting! Brother, don't worry! When we get to the Yuhu Sect, we will help you deal with that old dog Lu Chun!" The three Jia brothers were so angry that they wanted to beat up Lu Chun right away.
"The big...big devil, what about...the white snake?" Youya's face turned pale at this moment, and she lost the confidence to speak.
"It woke up occasionally before, but it has been sleeping deeply since entering Death River Country. Now I don't know when it will wake up." Wu Fan pointed to the bag on his waist and felt the white snake's weak Before, he was afraid that something was wrong with the white snake, but every time he looked at it, it looked like Nobuko was talking about death, and there was nothing unusual about it, so he had long been used to it. Looking at this guy sleeping, I wonder if he grew up with some kind of dog spirit.
While chatting, they set off on the road, keeping their conversation straight but getting down to business. However, the journey was very strange. They passed two small villages along the way. They originally wanted to go in and find a merchant to help Yuan Hua buy some things. But there was no one in the village, but every household was fully equipped with pots and pans, just covered with a layer of dust, as if the people in the village suddenly disappeared.
"Big Devil, why are the villages around your Yuhu Sect so deserted? No, there are traces of people living here not long ago."
"Boss, are you very well-informed? I heard that you have brought glory to the sect. All men, women and children have defected to the Yuhu Sect?" Yuan Hua walked out of a thatched house next to him empty-handed, with a puzzled look on his face. He said, wanting to go in to find something to eat, but he didn't expect that the contents in the pot would stink long ago.
Wu Fan also had a puzzled look on his face, but when they came they were riding in Master Xue Wen's sword carriage. He was just chatting in the car and didn't notice the situation around him. Thinking of Master Xue Wen, he quickly took out the jade slip. He wanted to send a message for questioning, but found that the connection in the jade slip had been severed, so he and the others quickened their pace and continued moving forward.
But the further they walked, the more frightened they became. The villages in the distance were empty of people, but the things inside the houses were still complete, but a little messy. In the nearby villages, half of the houses were destroyed, and there were faint traces of blood on the ground. But now the village in front of them has been razed to the ground, leaving nothing behind.
"What... what's going on..." Wu Fan felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart as he looked at the scene in front of him, recalling what Hua Man said to himself: You can rest assured about this, there will be no explanation anymore. His body couldn't stop trembling, "Let's go! Let's go!" Then he rushed towards the Jade Pot Sect like flying.
Jade Hu Sect, under the main peak, was still as quiet as before, with no cheers, no cheers, no disciples to welcome their triumphant return. But Wu Fan's throat was so dry now that he couldn't make any sound from his trembling lips. He didn't want to cheer or applaud, and he didn't expect anyone to welcome him in triumph.
He just hoped that the guardian disciples on both sides of the entrance in front of him would stop him and question who he was, instead of becoming two cold and stiff corpses with bloody stains nailed to the stone walls on both sides of the entrance. Wu Fan didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't. He doesn't admit it, he's back, but he can't go back.
He didn't cry, maybe he had forgotten how to cry. After stumbling, he finally reached the main peak. Wu Fan was surrounded by broken arms and limbs at his feet. His clothes were messy and he was covered in blood. The blood might be his own scratches, or a drop of blood under his feet on the way up the mountain. Layers upon layers of soft fleshy stone steps.
The magnificent buildings on the main peak have collapsed, and there are ruins in front of you. The iron cables and plank roads connecting the peaks were broken, but Wu Fan no longer wanted to go down the mountain and turn back to the East Peak. He was afraid that this trip and return would cut off the last trace of his thoughts about the Yuhu Sect.
As he raised his hand, the soil surged, forming a stone bridge between the East Peak and the Main Peak. Wu Fan dragged the black knife and rushed towards the East Peak with red eyes. The people behind him finally caught up with Wu Fan. The figure saw the stone bridge appearing out of thin air. Although they knew Wu Fan's abilities, they were still a little startled. Yuan Hua didn't care whether he was afraid of heights or not, so he gritted his teeth and led everyone to follow.
Finally setting foot on the land of Dongfeng, Wu Fan was greeted by familiar figures one after another, but their faces were ferocious or in pain at this time, and what was different from before was that they were all lying on the ground, Wu Fan. Fan was calling one name after another, as if when he read their names, he would see the people on the ground stand up, smile and say to him: "Xiao Fan, are you back? We are kidding you. , didn’t scare you, did it?”
But no matter how many times he shouted, until he became hoarse, no one responded to him. It was really... not polite at all...
Wu Fan endured the pain and rummaged through all the corpses on the road, but Zhao Xiaozhong was not found. He returned to the familiar No. 9 courtyard along the way, but there was no one in the courtyard, only a damaged house. Wu Fan felt that The flame of hope, the lamp oil inside was almost burned out, leaving only a weak fluorescence the size of a soybean.
Courtyard No. 10 is his last hope. Although he neither dares nor wants to see this hope die early, what else can he lose in the Yuhu Sect? Finally pushing the door open, he really wanted to hear Yuan Chu's bell-like roar and smell the delicious food cooked by Huo Fu. But before he could push the door open, it was shattered all over the floor, and what he saw was a room full of corpses.
Wu Fan looked through the pages numbly and found that indeed all the disciples from the No. 9 Courtyard were here, but Zhao Xiaozhong was the only one missing. Even Yuan Chu and Huo Fu from the No. 10 Courtyard were not among them for some reason. Wu Fan lowered his head and saw a box under one of the people. Wu Fan opened the man's body and carefully took it out. He found that there were a few vulgar words engraved on it, "Brother Fan, a lifetime of mortals." Brother." Then there is a page inside that vaguely says: If Xiaochong and Brother Fan come back, we will prepare how to welcome them.
However, most of the words in the middle of the paper were covered with blood and could no longer be seen clearly. The more he wiped, the blurry his vision became. He could no longer control his emotions. Tears fell on the paper, leaving the only words in his eyes. A few clear words were also blurred.
"Boss!" "Big brother!" "Ufan!"
Originally, they were afraid of disturbing Wu Fan, so they didn't dare to chase him too close. However, Wu Fan entered the house and did not come out for a long time, which made them very worried. When they quietly entered Courtyard No. 10, they found that Wu Fan was holding a baby in his hand. Box, fainted on the ground, couldn't help shouting loudly.
They all came here with Wu Fan because he wanted to return to the Yuhu Sect. However, he did not expect that the famous sect that was once famous in the world would now become desolate and miserable. Even if the Yuhu Sect is not as good as in the past, it is not easy to destroy it to this point. Which sect, and for what reason, would actually do this to a pure place that has become independent of the world! This not only frightened them, but also made them unsure of where to go.
"The Jade Pot Sect has been destroyed, what should we do next?" They finally had a goal, but he had already fainted because of sadness.
The answers to some questions may come later, but there is no time to wait. Just when they were worried about Wu Fan, they did not notice three strange figures falling at the door behind them, making a dull landing sound. …
