Chapter 01 Determination

Sunset, dusk.

The light red sunset leisurely sprinkled on both sides of the Huai River, reflecting the sunset on the river.

In the river, the fishermen on the fishing boat sprinkled the last net and then collected the net home. A fishing boat sings late on the sunset, rivers and fishing boats.

The sunset always gives people a feeling of depression and loneliness, because it means that the day is coming to an end.

The end can sometimes give people a sad feeling, such as the end of a beautiful dream.

On the bank of the Huai River, in front of a fishing village of dozens of families, five or six children in coarse cloth clothes played and chased after them. Under the sunset, their shadows were pulled very long.

The child smiled innocently and chased, looking without any restraint. When they are tired, they will go home to drink the delicious fish soup cooked by their mother. How beautiful a childhood is!

In a deserted house in the fishing village, a young man in blue with a long face and thin eyebrows fell asleep on the thatched ground, lying side by side with a bronze sword.

In the open space next to it, there is a bonfire, and a few feet long fish are roasted on the fire, emitting the smell of fish.

He faintly listened to the "crackling" sound of the flame and gradually became conscious.

"You're awake!"

The first sentence Yan Ji heard when she woke up was these four words. It was a woman's voice, sweet, gentle and beautiful.

"Sister...Sister, is that you?"

He suddenly got up, grabbed the blurred shadow's shoulders in both hands, and shouted excitedly.

The blurred shadow in front of her gradually became clear, but it made the teenager feel sad. She was not a senior sister. Yan Ji, the woman in front of her, also knows her and has met her once in Sanqingguan. She is Zhang Linger, a disciple of Guangyun Zhenren.

Yan Ji stood up with his sore body gritted his teeth and looked around. He did not find the figure of his senior sister. There were only him and Zhang Linger in the broken house.

"Where's my senior sister? Have you seen it? Where is this? How did I get here?"

He asked a series of four questions, and Zhang Linger didn't know how to answer him first. She pondered for a moment and gently replied, "When Sister Ye Yunxiao and Brother Qin Shen escaped down the mountain, we happened to see you in a valley and brought you here."

"What about my senior sister? Have you seen her?" Yan Ji asked hurriedly, and Zhang Linger's answer was not the question he wanted to know most.

Zhang Linger shook her head slightly and whispered, "Are you talking about Sister Liang Xiangling? We didn't see her."

"Sister..."

In Yan Ji's heart, the inexplicable pain rolled like a sea tide, which made his heart ache. At this moment, he only had one idea in his mind: "I want to find my senior sister..."

At this moment, it seems that he has lost everything again, just like four years ago, he is alone.

Four years of beauty, like a beautiful dream, disappeared in a moment.

He wants to find his sister and everything.

Yan Ji picked up the rainbow on the ground, held it tightly in her hand, and asked Zhang Linger anxiously, "Can you take me to Bagong Mountain?"

Zhang Linger looked at his expression and knew what he wanted to do. Her eyes revealed a trace of concern and said softly, "It has been occupied by the people of the demon religion. It's very dangerous. If you go back, you will die in vain!"

Yan Ji suddenly woke up and said eagerly, "Then tell me the way back!" I'll go back alone."

Zhang Linger bit her lip and shook her head gently, "You can't go there. It's dangerous."

Yan Ji asked unsuccessily, and he was a little angry and clenched his fist tightly. When he saw that there was a village outside the house, he had the idea of asking others. Someone would always know the way to Bagong Mountain.

Thinking like this, he immediately rushed out of the house and asked for directions.

Zhang Linger looked around and guessed his thoughts. She immediately pulled his wrist and said eagerly, "You can't go. You will die if you go. Don't be so stupid..."

Yan Ji would not listen to her persuasion. He broke away from her wrist and said coldly, "Don't worry about me!"

The teenager's eyes are so cold and ruthless that people feel scared when they see it. Once, he competed with Mei Xiangxue on the sword fighting platform and wanted to deter his opponents with fierce eyes that seemed to kill, but he couldn't pretend, because he had no idea of killing at that time. Now, he no longer needs to pretend. He now wants to kill all those who destroyed his home, including her.

Zhang Linger was shocked by his fierce and ruthless eyes for a moment, and suddenly pulled him and said anxiously, "Don't die..."

When she turned around, she saw a man and a woman carrying several big fish in the distance. The woman was Ye Yunxiao, and the young man in Chu was Qin Shen in Zhang Linger's mouth. Zhang Linger saw the two and immediately shouted to them, "Come and help. He wants to go back to revenge the demon people!"

After hearing this, the two immediately ran over and grabbed Yan Ji's left and right arms respectively. They only listened to Qin Shen's advice and said, "Brother Yan Ji, you have not recovered from serious injury. Don't be reckless, and you must not make unnecessary sacrifices!"

Yan Ji looked at the man and recognized that he was his fellow brother who recited the poem containing the name of "Mei Xiangxue" when he was watching Mei Xiangxue's test under the sword fighting platform.

At this moment, Yan Ji was not in the mood to recognize him. Her fierce eyes swept over Qin Shen and warned him, "Let go of me, or don't blame me for turning against you!"

"You have to calm down..." The three of them persuaded Yan Ji one after another.

Seeing that they still had no intention of letting go, Yan Ji's heart fell down and wanted to lift the true qi to get rid of the two. Unexpectedly, as soon as he was lucky, a needle pain instantly hit his whole body, and his throat was sweet, spitting out a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground.

Qin Shen sighed, shook his head and said, "Brother Yan Ji, it's not that I speak hard, nor did I deliberately hit you. The white dragon envoy of the demon religion has a profound cultivation. Your senior sister has been hit by him for most of her life. Now that three days have passed, what can you do if you go!"

The news was like a sharp blade, deeply piercing into Yan Ji's heart. He felt a pain in his heart, and a mouthful of blood spewed out again.

"Sister..."

He moaned in pain. When he remembered that the senior sister who loved him and cared about him had left, he was sad and cried. From the mouth of the White Dragon Envoy, he learned that the master had been killed, and now that the senior sister has left him, he has nothing.

He experienced this painful experience once when he was young, just like when his parents passed away one after another, leaving him alone to live in this world.

Qin Shen picked up Yan Ji and followed his back with a light right palm. Yan Ji only felt a soft true qi echoing in his body, warming his strange meridians and eight veins, and he suddenly felt much better.

Qin Shen's palm slowly took away from Yan Ji's back and said in a low voice, "I can also understand your mood. I have been childless and was adopted by my master. Sanqingguan is my home. The demon religion took over my home and killed my family. Why don't I want to take revenge? Revenge is to be revenge, but not now! Ten years is not too late to revenge. Although we don't have the ability to revenge now, we will definitely have it in ten or 20 years!"

I don't know when Zhang Linger's eyes had turned slightly red. She took out the handkerchief in her arms to wipe the blood stains from the corners of her mouth. Gradually, she cried and sobbed, "Master is gone... Sister Mei and the eldest brother don't know where they have gone... They are all dead, and I don't want to see people I know die anymore."

Ye Yunxiao beside her also cried, but she resisted not crying. She held Zhang Linger in her arms and wiped her tears with her sleeves.

"Are you really sure that my senior sister is dead?" Yan Ji burst into tears, and the pain in his heart could not be said. He cried like when he lost his mother and was bullied when he was young.

Qin Shen didn't say anything, but only sighed in a low voice. He could also understand this mood and didn't talk much nonsense.

After a while, I suddenly heard Ye Yunxiao shout, "Have you cried enough?", but when she saw her eyes in awe, she shouted at Yan Ji, "I didn't cry as a 16-year-old girl. Why are you crying? That woman has lied to you for so many years! It has led thousands of troops and horses to destroy your division! If you kill your master and sister, you can repay those people ten times. What's the use of crying! Are you a man?

Zhang Linger hurriedly stopped Ye Yunxiao, shook her arm and said, "Sister Ye, don't talk about it, or he will run back to find his sister again!"

Qin Shen also stopped in a low voice, "Yes, now is not the time to inspire him!"

"What's the use of crying?" Yan Ji muttered these five words, as if she remembered something.

"As a strong man, you must not be cowardly! Low self-esteem!"

"No matter what you want to do, you have to be a strong man. As a strong man, the first thing you should get rid of is the weakness of your character, cowardice and inferiority. You'd better not have these two things.

"You are cowardly, you will never survive in this world!"

Yan Ji vaguely remembered what Master had taught him, and his crying gradually stopped. He muttered, "Don't cry... don't be cowardly..." The teenager's eyes suddenly became extremely fierce, but more terrible than before. He suddenly turned his eyes to Ye Yunxiao and stared deeply at her.

Ye Yunxiao was really shocked by him, thinking that he was going to rebute and be ready to bear it. To her surprise, Yan Ji did not scold, but whispered, "You said very well!"

Then, his fierce eyes turned to the sky and said fiercely, "Repay her ten times! Demonism! Youao! White Dragon!" He wrote down this string of names deeply.

Although his voice was not loud, he could clearly hear the fierceness and determination in his voice.

Yan Ji slowly stood up and walked out of the fishing village holding the fairy in his hand.

Zhang Linger was worried that he would find Bagong Mountain for revenge again, so she quickly followed and asked, "What are you going to do? If you are unhappy, I will stay with you for a while.

He listened to this sentence and felt extremely familiar. He recalled it and suddenly realized that his senior sister had also said something to him.

"Are you unhappy? I will be with you until you are happy. Don't be sad alone!"

The gentle words seemed to circle around his ears. At this moment, he so hoped that his senior sister could appear in front of him. Why didn't you cherish it before? You always know how to cherish it when you lose it.

Is the person you love really worthy of your love? Have you ever thought about the people around you who silently offer their selfless love? Has she ever asked for anything in return?

Yan Ji closed her eyes slightly and asked herself like this in her heart.

"When you grow up, no matter what happens to you, you have to face it, you can't escape, and you can't be knocked down."

He recalled what his sister had said to him and read softly, "Yes, I have grown up. Sister, I will remember you all my life and always remember you. Look at her in the sky, and I will kill her with my own hands! Revenge for you."

If a person can really become a ghost after death, I will definitely find you after avenging you and stay with me, okay? In this way, I can find you easily.
