Before the age of sixteen, Yu Shiqi always thought that he would inherit the Tongfeng Sect from his father Yu Lingwei.

Before he was sixteen, Yu Shiqi always believed that his name was to commemorate the union of his father and mother. Because his name was Yu Yanzhi, his father's surname was Yu and his mother's surname was Yan, and Zhi means to remember.

This once made him think that his name had a double meaning, but now he knows that this name was not actually given to him by the owner and his wife of the Tongfeng Sect, and the parents he has called his parents for sixteen years are not his real parents.

Therefore, the truth about the name Yu Yanzhi is that he inherited the surname Yu from his adoptive father, the master of the Yu Lingwei clan, and the person who named him had the expectation of "Yan Zhi" in him. His adoptive mother's surname is Yan, a beautiful

coincidence.

Sixteen-year-old Yu Shiqi couldn't accept the fact that he was not the son of Yu's family at all. After he learned the news from Yu Youci, whom he had always regarded as his biological sister, he ran to his mother for confirmation. In his mother's silence, he became wise and precocious.

He realized that this was the truth.

But no one was willing to tell him who his real parents were. Mrs. Yan, who had turned from mother to adoptive mother, only hinted that the truth might lie in the Desolate Sect.

Yu Shiqi actually didn't have an attitude that he must know this so-called "truth", but he could no longer face the family members of the Tongfeng Sect as usual. Leaving the Tongfeng Sect to find the truth in the Desolate Sect was a good reason to escape.

.

The bottle of Yuzhenhuashang Pills in his luggage was given to him by Mrs. Yan when he left Tongfeng Sect, because she was also a disciple of the Huangwu Sect when she was not married to Yu Lingwei when she was young.

The activities of the rangers who serve their own responsibilities are full of unpredictable dangers.

"Okay, let's talk about the rest later. You're seriously injured, so it's better to talk less." Xilingyue stopped Yu Shiqi from continuing to recall her life. Her expression seemed to have softened a little, and she seemed to have believed him.

"I put the food here. If you can eat it, you're welcome." She put the food she brought back on the stone platform. "Tomorrow at dawn, I'll take you down the mountain."

Yu Shiqi didn't ask her how she found the cooked food in this barren mountain, because the answer might contain dangers that he couldn't handle.

This girl's behavior style gave her the feeling of a demonic heretic from head to toe, and her previous hostility towards the Tongfeng Sect and the Desolate Sect was enough to illustrate the problem.

The Tongfeng Sect is recognized as the right path in the world, not to mention the Huangwu Sect. The Yunzhong Sword under its command is the law enforcer of the world and is hostile to both. He can probably guess the position the girl represents.

She was able to let go of herself who was once a member of Yunzhongjian. Yu Shiqi felt that it was already a great luck. When the translucent knife was pressed in front of him, he could prepare to be reincarnated with just a few words without speculation.

.

The white lion was hovering less than ten steps away from him, looking towards him from time to time, seemingly attracted by the meaty aroma of the food on the stone platform.

Yu Shiqi hesitated for a moment, picked up a piece of meat, and before throwing it out, he heard Xilingyue's cold voice coming from the side: "You are not allowed to feed it."

She came over again and said to Yu Shiqi in an unkind and strange tone: "Guess where the scumbag who broke into this place went?"

"Did you feed it to the lions?"

"Your Excellency... it's really annoying." She snorted, "I've already told you my name."

"If you wish, I can pretend that I didn't hear it, and I won't remember it in the future." He said sincerely, "I won't say a word about what I saw and heard today after I come down from the mountain."

Xilingyue was stunned for a moment, then realized that his eyes were serious, and immediately got angry: "You are a man, a former Yunzhongjian team member, are you so greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"Being afraid of death...what's wrong?" Yu Shiqi murmured, "I still have a lot of things I want to do, but I can't do anything if I die."

"Since you were afraid of death, why did you yell and rush at that beast before? Did you really think that broken arrow could allow you to kill it?"

"No matter how afraid of death, there will be times when you want to fight for something." After he finished speaking, he turned his face to the side.

Xilingyue suddenly became happy after hearing this answer: "Then you were so desperate just now, did you want to save me?"

"Just for a moment, I remembered the oath I made when I was a sword in the clouds, to protect those I can protect with all my strength." He shook his head sadly, and added: "I have never regretted it."

Xilingyue's expression became unkind again. She wrapped up the food in front of Yu Shiqi and took it away: "You don't have much ability, and you talk about protecting others desperately. I annoy people like you the most."

Yu Shiqi didn't speak, the pain was still tormenting him. He gritted his teeth and took out a fleece blanket from his bag and laid it down a little away from the spring.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a lit bonfire. He subconsciously looked towards Xi Lingyue and saw her setting up a shelf on top of the bonfire.

"Isn't it uncomfortable to wear wet clothes?" She glanced at Yu Shiqi, "Take them off and bring them over to dry."

"This... I'm afraid it's not polite."

Xilingyue sat by the bonfire, hugging her knees and looking at him with squinted eyes: "What's so inappropriate?"

Yu Shiqi knew in his heart that she was asking the question knowingly, so he pursed his lips and did not answer.

Xilingyue stood up, patted the hem of her skirt, and said to Yu Shiqi: "If you feel embarrassed, I won't look at it."

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the other side of the cave. The white lion was lying far away at the entrance of the cave, his eyes flowing back and forth between his master and the stranger.

Yu Shiqi hesitated for a moment, then walked to the bonfire and took off his coat to dry on the stand. He turned back and glanced in the direction of Xi Lingyue and found that she was squatting by the spring, stirring the water with her hands, and then he continued to take off his clothes with confidence.

The rest of the clothing.

It was mid-autumn, and the night in the Western Wilderness should have been chilly, but there were hot springs and bonfires in the middle of the mountain, and Yu Shiqi would not feel uncomfortable even if he was shirtless.

He sat blankly by the bonfire, the dancing flames reflected in his unfocused, empty eyes, thinking that half of his two wishes of entering Kunlun westward had been fulfilled, and his mood couldn't help but become both happy and worried.

Maybe in another month, heavy snow will fall in Xiliang Prefecture. By then, the inn in the cargo town at the foot of the southeast mountain will become a veritable "Snow and Wind Station", and the roads in the mountains will become dangerous and difficult to travel.

If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait until next year if you want to go deeper into Kunlun.

Suddenly, the sound of a young girl singing softly came to his ears, which pulled Yu Shiqi out of his thoughts. He turned his eyes sideways and was surprised to find that Xilingyue had walked to him at some point.

He subconsciously looked at her ankles and found that the pair of bells were missing. No wonder he didn't hear any sound.

Xi Lingyue didn't look at him, she was still singing, using some obscure ancient language that Yu Qi couldn't understand. Her hands were clasped in front of her chest, her posture seemed to be praying for something, her eyes were pious and pious.

firm.

After a while, Xilingyue began to dance in her own singing, her white clothes flowing.

Yu Shiqi, who had a rough understanding of the customs of the Western Wilderness, vaguely understood that it was some kind of dance to entertain the gods. All tribes in the Western Wilderness lived together, and each tribe and tribe had their own gods. They used songs, music, dances and rituals to entertain the gods.

Very similar.

Autumn is the season for hunting in preparation for winter. In this season, it is a very common behavior in the Western Wilderness to perform dances to the gods that one believes in to pray for a safe passage through the cold winter.

However, what surprised Yu Shiqi was that Xilingyue didn't feel like a woman from a foreign tribe in the Western Wilderness. At first, she talked to him about the ethics of the Southern Kingdom, but she seemed like the daughter of a well-educated and sensible family. But later on

What happened was so unbelievable that it was difficult for him to distinguish where this girl came from.

When she threatened herself with a knife a moment ago, she acted like an evil heretic, but now when I saw her dancing, I felt that her dancing was indescribably holy.

For a moment, the story about mountain ghosts that he had seen came to mind. Yu Shiqi's original drowsiness suddenly subsided a lot. He began to worry a little about whether he would be able to see the sunrise tomorrow.

Staring at the bonfire in front of him and holding his eyelids open, he secretly prayed in his heart that the night would go by faster.

From the corner of his eye, he could still catch glimpses of dancing white shadows from time to time. The clear and graceful singing seemed to have a kind of enchanting power, and Yu Shiqi gradually felt as if he had fallen asleep.

The bonfire in front of him flickered on and off. After several reincarnations, he finally gave up struggling and closed his eyes heavily.
