White clouds drift lazily, floating above the mountains, a gentle breeze blows, bringing an indescribable sense of leisure and comfort.
In the place that was once Fox Qi Mountain, a gigantic deep chasm now no longer had the dazzling blood-colored glow, but from the depths of the chasm, there still occasionally came a thread of heat, with the faint sound of magma flowing.
Before the abyss, a man's figure sat alone, his eyes closed, yet blind.
The complexion is old and withered, the figure is dry and shriveled, occasionally muttering something in a low voice, after a long time, slowly fell down, lying on the ground.
The rough ground gave him a solid feeling, and his mouth slowly curled up with a hint of a smile, as he softly called out:
"Yao'er..."
The sound drifted away without any response, he breathed lightly for a while, slowly, and then stopped breathing.
After a long time, a figure appeared in the distance, a woman with a black veil covering her face. Her figure was slender and elegant, it was Yuji, who had been missing for a long time. She saw that beside the abyss there was a figure lying on the ground, her body shook, and she immediately rushed over, but ultimately, it was too late to save him.
She leaned against the man's body, her eyes slightly red, and behind the black veil came a low sobbing sound.
Just then, a clear and crisp bell sound echoed from the deep abyss behind her, in that profound darkness. Youzi's body shook greatly, as if she couldn't believe her own ears. She quickly turned around to look towards the abyss, but except for the deep darkness, nothing could be seen.
The bell's clear and crisp sound wafts and drifts out from the depths of the valley, blending into the mountain breeze...
Under the Qingyun Mountain, outside the Heyang City, a group of people walked slowly along the ancient wild path.
Xiao Huan's face lit up with a smile as she suddenly turned her head around, her smiling face like a flower, and asked the person behind her:
"Miss Bottle, are you serious? From now on, will you really put everything down and follow us to roam the world?"
Jin Bao'er, dressed in a bright yellow dress, with an enchanting and radiant expression, smiled sweetly and put her arm around Xiao Huan's shoulder, saying: "Of course, this world is full of dangers, there are countless stinky men, and even the two who are always by your side at night, if I don't keep an eye on you, I really wouldn't feel at ease!"
Xiao Huan smiled and walked away with someone, but behind them came a complaining voice, angrily saying: "What stinky man, I am naturally kind-hearted, everyone knows that, right, wild dog?"
The stray dog walked past the chattering Zhou Yixian, smiled to himself, and didn't respond, but instead quickened his pace to chase after the two slender figures ahead.
Zhou Yi Xian let out a few "tsks", shaking his head and sighing: "The world is getting worse by the day, the world is getting worse by the day..."
As he spoke, he seemed to recall something and turned his head to gaze far away at the distant towering Qingyun mountain range, which pierced into the clouds with a majestic momentum. A faint smile slowly emerged from the corner of his mouth, and a hint of wisdom flashed in his eyes.
"Grandpa, hurry up!" A shout came from a little girl in the distance behind him.
On Monday, Xian Hehe smiled and turned around, with the bamboo stick "Xianren Zhilu" in his hand, he laughed loudly:
"Ah, finally arrived! I knew you guys couldn't do it without me as the backbone. Ha... Hey, you few fellows, why are you walking so slowly? Don't you see that old man's legs aren't as nimble?"
Time flies, and before you know it, another period of time has slipped away.
Lu Xueqi took over the position of Xiaozhu Peak, and on this day, she rode her sword to Da Zhu Peak to visit her senior sister Wen Min, who had already married Song Dahen, the leader of Da Zhu Peak.
Two sisters hadn't seen each other for many days, so when they met, they naturally had a lot of warm and intimate conversation to catch up on, from morning till noon.
Lu Xueqi got up and bid farewell, Song Darin and Wen Min saw her out together, the three of them standing outside the Quiet Hall.
Lu Xueqi looked around and smiled at Wen Mian: "It seems very quiet here, just right for your temperament, Shifu."
Wen Min smiled and nodded, Song Daren also laughed and said:
"Actually, Dazhu Peak was also quite lively originally, but these days several disciples have gone out to practice, so there's no one around and it's naturally quiet. And also, we used to have a big yellow dog here, which was raised by my master since it was small, but who knew that in the past few days it has also disappeared without a trace, not even its barking can be heard, it's really strange."
Wen Min glared at him and said, "Most likely it's also disgusted with the food you fed it, that's why it ran away."
Song Daren laughed and didn't mind. Lu Xueqi watched them lovingly, feeling relieved in her heart, and said a few words before bidding farewell and leaving the Big Bamboo Peak.
She wore a white dress fluttering in the wind, riding her sword as she walked. On this day, she suddenly felt uneasy in her heart and didn't want to return to Xiaozhu Peak immediately.
Perhaps it was the loving scene of her senior sister that touched her heart, and for a moment she had an inexplicable feeling, unknowingly, she had left Qingyun Mountain and arrived at the ruins of Caomiao Village, where her soul had once been tied.
The fragrant grass is lush and green, the clear wind blows gently, as if everything remains unchanged.
She stood silently for a long time, lightly sighed, and on her beautiful face, as if added a few more worries. Taking steps, she walked slowly, walking towards the depths of the ruins.
The ancient wall stands still, divided into two sides, in the gentle breeze of the green grass, she quietly moves forward, her eyes gazing far away, silently watching the surroundings, with infinite tenderness in her eyes.
Suddenly, she felt a jolt and stopped in her tracks, staring at something unbelievable in the depths of the ruins ahead.
It turned out that a simple wooden hut had been newly built, with a crooked chimney standing on the roof, and light smoke was still drifting out.
Outside the house, a green cloth corner fragment was blowing in the gentle breeze, making a crisp sound.
A tempting fragrance wafted out from within the wooden hut.
"Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!"
"Rustle rustle rustle rustle, rustle rustle rustle..."
A strange cry suddenly came from the wooden house, and then a yellow shadow flashed by, and an old big yellow dog ran out of the house with a happy face, paws open and running.
On the dog's back, surprisingly, there was a gray-haired monkey riding on it. Its face had three rare eyes, and its hands were holding a fragrant meat bone. The other half of its body tightly grasped the yellow dog's neck, and its mouth shouted loudly, probably urging the yellow dog to run faster!
Right after that, a man rushed out of the house, wearing rough clothes and hemp pants, with an expression on his face as if he was bitterly smiling, loudly shouting: "Dead dogs, dead monkeys, you're here again to steal meat bones to eat..."
Suddenly, he was stunned, and in his eyes, a figure of Lü Xueqi standing in front of him was reflected.
Two people stood there motionless, gazing at each other.
How many years of sorrow and human emotions were suddenly all in this deep gaze, then they both burst out laughing at the same time.
A gentle breeze blew by, and the wind chimes under the eaves rang out in response. The green hem of her garment fluttered lightly, as if also carrying a hint of a smile. The crisp sound of the wind chimes floated upwards with the breeze, echoing between heaven and earth.
