Chapter 1 Bell

In the divine emperor's continent, under the Qingfeng Mountain of the Nine Sword Palace, Zhang Yuan stopped and stood. In front of him was the stone ladder of the peak of heaven. Rows of white stone ladders extend from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. At the end of the stone ladder, the mist is like a fairyland. On both sides of the stone ladder, the relaxed ancient trees were still standing there, a gust of wind blowing, and countless leaves drifting down. His face was full of vicissitudes, and he kept looking at the scene.

Three years, three years, unconsciously, three years have passed. I remember that when I first came to the Jiujian Palace, the palace owner let himself go to the heavenly peak alone from here. Three years later, he came here again. Although the scenery had not changed, he had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The falling leaves fell silently on the ground, and several leaves fell on him. He seemed to be unconscious, and his stunned eyes still looked at the top of the mountain. Far behind Zhang Yuan, Yu Li stood there quietly and looked at him silently. Seeing Zhang Yuan's old and lost look, Yu Li wanted to run over and hug him, and then join hands with him to grow old. Since Zhang Yuan left without saying goodbye, Yuli was worried about his safety, so he quietly followed him all the way. Throughout, Yuli kept a long distance from Zhang Yuan to avoid being discovered. She couldn't help running over several times and said, "Dumb, Xu Min is ruthless to you. Why do you care so much about her?" But after several struggles, she has never done so.

Standing at the foot of Qingfeng, Zhang Yuan recalled a scene three years ago. In his hand, the spiritual beads emitted a Taoist light, and he worked hard for this spiritual pearl. On Qingfeng Mountain, a man and a woman suddenly flew in, and the man flashed through the air with his arms around the woman's waist.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuan's body trembled, and the spirit beads suddenly fell to the ground, and he sat weakly on the ground. Why? Why is this so? Zhang Yuan hugged his head and said painfully: The two people who flew over Qingshan were Ji Ling and Xu Min. Seeing the woman he liked hugged by others, Zhang Yuan was heartbroken and heartbroken.

"Dong Dong Dong"

On Qingfeng Mountain, a crisp bell suddenly sounded, and the sound of distant bells spread to Zhang Yuan's heart. I don't know why he felt how quiet, pleasant and calm the bell was at this moment.

The sound of bells echoing in the green mountains is curling. No matter how chaotic the outside world is, the Jiujian Palace is still so peaceful and pure.

Listening to the quiet bell, Zhang Yuan slowly stood up and picked up the spiritual beads on the ground. He stepped forward and walked up the stone ladder step by step. Every time he stepped forward, he would think of the past. At the other end of the stone ladder, Pang Yu sat there alone. He sat here every day waiting for Zhang Yuan to return. When he married Zhang Yuan as a brother, he regarded Zhang Yuan as his younger brother. Now his younger brother is trapped by love, which leads to a decadent look.

He refused to return to the sect in turmoil. As an elder brother, he can't solve Zhang Yuan's problems. Whenever he thinks of this, Pang Yu feels ashamed to be his eldest brother.

After waiting for a long time, Pang Yu stood up and planned to go back. But the moment he stood up, he seemed to see a lonely figure slowly walking up the stone ladder. How much like his brother Zhang Yuan. Thinking of his illusion, Pang Yu tried to rub his eyes, and then looked carefully. Yes, I'm right. That lonely figure is my brother Zhang Yuan. I haven't seen my brother Zhang Yuan for more than a year. When I saw him today, Pang Yu felt that he could not recognize him. He saw Zhang Yuan's lonely voice walking slowly. It seemed that every step was very difficult. He walked so slowly, how powerless he was, like a walking corpse, unconscious and emotionless.

After seeing Zhang Yuan, Pang Yu shouted, "Brother, brother." With joy, Pang Yu stepped forward and ran to the foot of the mountain.

Zhang Yuan suddenly heard a familiar voice calling for himself. He suddenly came back and saw a man running towards him quickly at the end of the stone ladder. This man is his elder brother Pang Yu.

"Brother," Zhang Yuan shouted with a vicissitudes of life: His voice is not small, but he looks very hoarse. Since Lingshan left Yu, he has not said anything along the way. At this time, he suddenly opened his mouth to speak, and he felt that he could not distinguish his voice.

Pang Yu ran all the way down, but Zhang Yuan stood still. After a while, Pang Yu came to Zhang Yuan's side. When he saw Zhang Yuan's old face, his heart ached. In just a year, Zhang Yuan was ten years old, which made him not uncomfortable. Grabbing Zhang Yuan's shoulder, Pang Yu asked painfully, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Why did it become like this?"

"Brother, I'm fine." Zhang Yuan's hoarse voice said: When he heard that Zhang Yuan's voice had changed, Pang Yu's mood was even more tingling.

"Let's go, brother, let's go back." Pang Yu said: Zhang Yuan nodded and followed Pang Yu all the way to the peak of heaven. When passing through the bamboo forest, Zhang Yuan suddenly stopped and kept looking at the depths of the bamboo forest. It seemed that he saw the situation three years ago, when he came to the bamboo forest with his senior sister for the first time. This bamboo forest can be said to be the place where he first opened his love. This bamboo forest once brought him endless happiness. Looking at it, Zhang Yuan suddenly smiled. He slowly walked into the bamboo forest and seemed to be looking for something with his head down all the way. Maybe he wants to find the footprints of the past, or maybe he wants to find the happiness of the past.

Pang Yu has been following him without disturbing him. After searching for a long time, Zhang Yuan stopped in front of two broken bamboos. These are two fine bamboos, but the bamboo has been cut down for a long time, leaving only traces. These two broken bamboo marks were cut by Xu Min at the beginning. At that time, in order not to hurt Zhang Yuan, Xu Min used bamboo instead of sword.

After stopping for a long time, Zhang Yuan said, "Brother, are they back?" Hearing Zhang Yuan finally willing to speak. Pang Yu couldn't help but be happy. He quickly replied, "I'm back. Everyone is waiting for you to come back."

After stopping for a long time, the crisp bell sounded again, but the quiet and distant sound was no longer the same as before. The bell at this time made people sad in vain. It seems that all sentient beings are silent, as if praying for the fallen gods again. Listening to this sad bell, Zhang Yuan was also in a sad mood. He asked, "Why is there this bell on the peak of heaven?" Pang Yu said, "The sect is paying tribute to Emperor Yu. At this time, the ceremony has not officially started yet."
