It's daybreak and the heavy rain has stopped.

Light fell from the gaps in the clouds, beams of light came in, and the messy dead city looked like an abandoned cemetery.

After Mu Shijing entered the city to pursue Lin Shouxi, the Taoists divided their troops to surround the city, but they kept watch all night and never saw Mu Shijing come out.

In the early morning, under the leadership of the Taoist sect leader, several elders went into the city to look for someone.

The leader of the Taoist sect is a young woman.

She held the fly whisk in her arms and walked slowly along the street.

On the bluestone slab, many traces of sword energy could be seen with the naked eye. Many doors and windows of the houses on both sides were also broken, and large tiles above were broken into pieces.

They had a fierce battle here last night.

But the elders searched all the streets and found no human figures or life.

The boy and girl seemed to have evaporated out of thin air.

Finally, they walked up the stairs to the platform of Guanyin Pavilion.

"This should be the place where they have their final battle."

An elder leaned down and looked at the ground. The hard stone bricks were full of cracks, and stone chips and wood chips were mixed and piled up. It was hard to imagine how fierce the battle last night was.

"Um."

The sect leader nodded lightly and continued to walk forward.

She stopped in front of the collapsed Guanyin Pavilion.

Among the ruins of the Guanyin Pavilion, the statue of Guanyin with thousands of hands and eyes stands intact on the lotus platform, with a soft seal, bearing the light and dew of the new sky, with a compassionate and indifferent face.

Avalokitesvara overlooks the earth, as if observing the suffering in the world, and seems to be looking at her.

The elders followed her, not daring to speak.

This Taoist sect leader is Mu Shijing’s master.

She wore a power fence, like a mist-like curtain that drooped down to her waist and hips, covering up her slender and graceful figure, leaving only her temperament as cold as ice peaks piercing the clouds.

Ten years ago, the old sect leader of the Taoist sect passed away. Before his death, the old sect leader left a letter specifying his successor.

This heir was not in the Taoist sect, but was hidden deep in the mountains. The disciples went to find her according to the old sect master's suicide note, and then invited her out of the mountains.

No one knows her name, age, no one has seen her true appearance, and no one has seen her actually take action.

There are legends that she is a banished immortal from outside the world, so she is not stained by the fine dust. There are also legends that she is the person behind the compilation of the Yundian List, so she is not in the Yundian List.

In short, the only thing that is certain is that she is very powerful. She is not only the key to the revival of Taoism, but also taught a girl like Mu Shijing who is unparalleled in the world.

The morning light diffused into the city, and the rain and mist above the Guanyin statue scattered into a rainbow, like a holy manifestation.

"pity."

The sect leader looked at the rainbow and suddenly opened her lips, her voice soft and indifferent, just like her snow-white gauze skirt fluttering in the wind.

"Yes, the sect leader has spent ten years of hard work to train the young lady to be his heir. Now, although the demon sect has been destroyed, the young lady's life or death is uncertain. It is really regrettable." An elder on the side responded.

"It's a pity that we couldn't recover Na Luo Shu." She shook her head slightly, seemingly not caring about Mu Shijing's life or death. "Children are indeed unreliable. I should have taken action myself."

The others looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Go back." The sect master said indifferently.

"But Miss, she..."

"She's not dead."

"Not dead?"

Everyone was even more confused. They searched the whole city and couldn't find any trace of Mu Shijing. Why was the sect leader so sure that she was not dead? If she was not dead, where was she now?

The sect leader did not answer, but looked at the Guanyin statue quietly, as if the Guanyin statue was like a gate made of copper and iron, connected to another world behind it.

Everyone was intimidated by the majesty of the sect leader and did not dare to ask further questions. They had to give up the search for Mu Shijing and Lin Shouxi and left this land of right and wrong.

After the people dispersed one after another, the sect master in the white skirt looked back at the statue of Guanyin with thousands of hands and eyes. The eyes behind the gauze curtain showed a cold light, and her red lips moved slightly, and she only spit out two words.

Character:

"evil creature."

…

…

Am I still alive? Where is this...

Lin Shouxi felt like he was running wildly in the darkness, with something chasing him behind him. He couldn't see anything. His strength was gradually exhausted, and his breathing became more and more intense, but he didn't dare to stop. It seemed that as soon as he stopped,

You will be torn apart by the darkness.

The muscles in his legs became tighter and tighter, swinging numbly, but a cold touch had already crawled up his back.

Like a drowning man struggling in a river without banks, the undercurrent entangles his hands and feet, dragging him bit by bit deeper into despair.

A feeling of suffocation pressed against his chest, and just when Lin Shouxi was about to lose consciousness completely, a wisp of fairy sound floated from behind.

'evil creature.'

In the clear scolding sound, the feeling of suffocation disappeared.

Lin Shouxi had no time to identify the source of the sound, so he just rushed forward, and then... suddenly woke up!

He sat up suddenly from the bed, pain still running through his bones.

This...where is this?

Lin Shouxi looked around and found that he was in a narrow wooden house, sleeping on a simple straw bed, with a lingering musty and sour smell in his nose, like a tomb filled with water.

I just had a nightmare. Something was chasing me in my dream. It seemed like... someone saved me?

Lin Shouxi rubbed his head, unable to distinguish between dreams and reality for a while.

He leaned against the wall and touched his chest with his hand - well, there was still a heartbeat. It seemed that it was not some place like Fengdu Underworld.

He tried to remember again.

My memories from childhood are mostly clear. The scene of the decisive battle with Mu Shijing and slashing at some filthy evil god with his sword is still before my eyes. Just thinking about it makes my brain hurt.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with the memory.

Lin Shouxi relaxed a little, and then he touched his body again, not to check the injury, but to see if Luo Shu was still there.

This is something that his master gave him and asked him to protect to the death.

He touched all over his body and searched all around, but could not find any trace of Luo Shu.

Then, he discovered that the black scales hanging on his chest were also gone.

After so many years, although this piece of black scale has never shown anything strange, after all, he has worn it for more than ten years and it is regarded as a talisman. Now that it was lost, he still felt a little empty in his heart.

Soon, Lin Shouxi understood what misfortune never comes alone.

He tried to adjust his breathing, but found that his injuries were too severe and he could not even move his true energy.

The realm of cultivation has always been his greatest reliance, and now, this greatest reliance has temporarily disappeared.

Such an injury would be fatal to others. Fortunately, his body is naturally strong, but even so, the injury may not heal in ten and a half months.

That woman is really cruel...

Lin Shouxi leaned against the wall and rested for a while. After he regained some strength, he got out of bed and wanted to see where he was at the moment and who had saved him.

Following the dim light to the door, Lin Shouxi bumped into something as soon as he stepped out of the house.

He had just woken up and was still seriously injured. His steps were sloppy, his body was unable to maintain balance, and he quickly fell to the ground.

Raising his head in pain, he vaguely saw a figure standing against the light. The slender figure staggered back two steps due to the impact. Only a few locks of white hair were outlined in the dim light.

The other party didn't have the slightest intention to kill him.

Did this old lady save me?

He stood up with difficulty and called the old lady in a slightly hoarse voice.

But as soon as the second syllable came out, he was stunned.

He saw the other person's face clearly.

Between the graceful and falling snow-white hair, there is actually a young and serene face.

The girl was looking at Lin Shouxi, straightening her delicate hair, and said:

"The real person sent me to see if you are awake. Since you are awake, please follow me to see the real person."

Lin Shouxi was shocked.
