above the sky

On Jiufeng Mountain, there are towering forests and strange rocks. It is named because the nine peaks are connected. Each peak has its own unique scenery and legend. The nine peaks are shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, as if they were a mysterious fairyland. I don’t know how much magic is hidden inside.

The bright moon is in the sky, shining on the top of Phoenix Peak. There are dense bamboo forests everywhere. The night wind blew quietly, and the bamboo leaves swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound. According to legend, Phoenix Peak is the place where phoenixes live, but at this moment, a figure seems out of place.

A long sword, an empty jug, and a flute were scattered on the boulder at the top of the mountain. A drunken man lay on the boulder, holding the jug in one hand, and slowly put the wine in his mouth into his mouth. This lonely man The scene made the night sky look a little lonely.

A voice sighed,"Ziqi, let the past go. For the sake of the Lu family, you have to live strong and have the mission of protecting the world. You can't continue to be so decadent."

The man remained silent, and after a long time he slowly turned his face. He saw that his face had grown a messy beard, and his long hair covered half of his face, but it still could not hide his handsome face.

There was a hint of decadence in the man's eyes, and he seemed to be born with a lonely temperament. He said casually,"What major events in the world and missions in the world are none of my business! After losing her, I have no love in my life." , now it's just a shell."

The figure who had just spoken could no longer control himself, and walked to the boulder. It was an old man in his seventies. At this time, he looked at Lu Ziqi extremely angrily,"Just for that one Woman, can you give up on this world? Do you know that all the hopes of my Lu family are placed on you!"

Lu Ziqi shook his head and smiled,"So what, in this apocalyptic world, who can save the paradise, why not Like me, wouldn't it be good to continue like this?"

The old man seemed unwilling to give up,"Ziqi, no matter what you think about it, the Lu family is now in a state of life and death. Even if you blame grandpa, grandpa only has a few more years to live. Just think of it as your father and mother, can you bear to let them be displaced?"

Hearing this, Lu Ziqi didn't say anything else and continued to drink. When the old man saw this, he said nothing and turned towards the darkness,"Just take care of yourself!"...

"Donor Lu, how are you?"On the mountainside, there was a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe, saluting the old man.

"Hey, my grandson is deeply in love and can't extricate himself. Judging from his current situation, he has to find someone else to take on the important task of guarding Yongle Palace."

"In this case, it doesn't matter. The master has already told me that the Lu family and my Yongle Palace have a deep relationship. This can be regarded as a love disaster for Ziqi. He can only overcome it by himself, otherwise it will sooner or later become a demonic obstacle in his cultivation. I will send someone to wait for Ziqi here. Donor, please rest assured."

"Well, thank you, Director Li!"After the old man finished speaking, he bowed to the Taoist priest and left.

Taoist Li looked at the top of the mountain, sighed, turned around and told the two young Taoist priests behind him,"Qingfeng, Qingyun, you two take good care of Hao Ziqi. Donor, please report to me anytime if you have anything."

"Yes, uncle!"The two people quickly bowed their hands and saluted. Daozhang Li turned around and left Phoenix Peak.

"Senior brother, who is this person? Why should we wait for him?"Qingyun asked Qingfeng in confusion.

"This is a long time to say, and his background is too big, you know?......"

Qingfeng chatted with Qingyun, minding his own business. It turned out that Lu Ziqi was originally from Yongle Town and was less than thirty years old. The Lu family was originally a well-known swordsmanship family in the country, and Lu Ziqi was also the first heir appointed by the head of the family. He had been learning the Lu family's swordsmanship from his grandfather since he was a child. But this Lu Ziqi is extremely talented in swordsmanship. At the age of eighteen, he is already the best swordsman in the family. In the apocalypse, he single-handedly protected Yongle Town and was a hero in the eyes of many people.

"Since he is a hero, why are he so decadent now, drinking alone on the top of the mountain?"

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly. The so-called hero is saddened by beauty. This hero's name may also be the beginning of Lu Ziqi's tragic journey. Since the end of the world, a refuge has been established in Yongle Town at the foot of the mountain, and Lu Ziqi is the core force in protecting Yongle Town. After the spiritual energy was revived, even the head master commented that Lu Ziqi's swordsmanship was unfathomable."

"Until a woman appeared. This woman's name was Wan'er, a girl who had been exiled from other places. It is said that he was found by Lu Ziqi outside the town and rescued while fleeing. The two fell in love at first sight at that time"

"However, God's will is unpredictable. Ever since Wan'er came here, Lu Ziqi has been around Wan'er all day long, and he rarely takes action on weekdays. Until one day, a group of giant beasts attacked the town. More than ten giant beasts were undoubtedly a disaster for the small town. Fortunately, we Yongle Palace people discovered it at the critical moment and helped drive away the giant beasts."

"But during that disaster, Lu Ziqi didn't come back until dark. Looking at the devastated town that was ravaged by the giant beast, and the relatives of his own race who were killed by the giant beast, Lu Ziqi realized that he was wrong. That day, Lu Ziqi's grandfather, the head of the Lu family, Lu Feng, called him to the family ancestral hall. From that day on, Lu Ziqi seemed to be a different person, as if he no longer knew Wan'er. What's even stranger is that our master, the master, even gave the ancient sword that had been enshrined on the top of the mountain for countless years to Lu Ziqi."

"That ancient sword? Is it the one hanging on the top of the mountain?" Qingyun suddenly thought about it, and a look of shock appeared on his face. This is a sword that even the masters and masters dare not touch. It disappeared not long ago. Unexpectedly, it was because of him.

"Yes, that's the ancient sword. It's just that since that day, Wan'er had waited three days at Lu's house in order to see Lu Ziqi, but she failed to meet Lu Ziqi. All she waited for was a word from Lu Feng."

"Ziqi's relationship with you is over, please go."
