The ancient tomb sect is located in the area of Zhongnan Mountain, with stone tombs as its residence, and the poignant relationship between its founding patriarch Lin Chaoying and Wang Chongyang does not need to be mentioned. However, after several generations, the ancient tomb sect is not allowed to be born in the ancient tomb lightly except for the head of the sect because of the way of guarding the rules of the door, so the whereabouts of the disciples of the ancient tomb sect on the rivers and lakes are rarely known. The disciples of the ancient tomb sect are determined by love, and they are deeply jealous of the love in the world, and Lin Chaoying, the founder of the mountain, is like this, and the rear side strictly abides by the gang rules.

And the current head of the ancient tomb sect, Lan Gu, is also hurt by love, when she was young, she had a three-life relationship with Fang Zhongtian, the head of the Yixian sect, but in the end, Fang Zhongtian chose not to love the woman she loved, but another woman - Li Ting, the goddess doctor of Yangzhou. Lan Gu was heartbroken by this, and finally fell to the Zhongnan Ancient Tomb and became a disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect. After that, Lan Gu practiced martial arts, excelled, and became the head of the new Tomb School. But Lan Gu is slightly different from the previous generations of heads, although she has a deep hatred for love in the world, her character is still arrogant and uninhibited when she was young. Similarly, she is also unaccustomed to the strict rules of the Tomb Sect over the years, and often goes in and out of the Tomb Sect by herself, and even passes on some of the Tomb Sect's martial arts to the world, which is why Su Jia and others can learn one of the Tomb Mind Methods, the "Cold Spirit Divine Skill".

However, just eighteen years ago, in order to find Fang Zhongtian and want to resolve the hatred of the world, Lan Gu took Fang Zhongtian's daughter Fang Ying hostage by the "Four Great Evils" in the rivers and lakes, and took Fang Ying away by taking advantage of the chaos. Although Fang Zhongtian chased after Lan Gu and ended up with a qiē, Fang Zhongtian was willing to sacrifice a qiē for the safety of his daughter. Lan Gu saw that Fang Zhongtian was disregarding his daughter for the sake of his daughter. knew that Fang Zhongtian had a deep love for Li Ting, and his heart was even more sad and indignant. But she didn't want to cut her blood, so she finally chose to raise Fang Ying by herself for eighteen years. thus punishing Fang Zhongtian for eighteen years of family lovesickness, and returning his daughter after eighteen years to relieve the hatred in his heart...... Now that eighteen years have passed, it's time to cash in......

In the middle of the mountainside of Zhongnan Mountain, there is an ancient tomb standing in the middle. There is a stele in front of the tomb, engraved with the words "Tomb of the Living Dead". This place is the site of the Tomb Sect, which descends from the ancient tomb. The sight gradually darkens, but you can pass through the tomb, like dozens of stone carvings in the palace. Under the ancient tombs. The cold is a little deeper, but because the season is cold, it is the winter season, and the ancient tomb is warm in winter. Through the stone carvings, there are dozens of large and small dark rooms in the ancient tomb. It is used by the disciples of the ancient tomb to cultivate and practice. Of course. There are not many disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect, and they live in the Ancient Tomb all year round, and there are few arrangements in the stone room. On the stone wall, most of them are carved ancient characters, there are things to record history, and there are also some martial arts methods, but most of them are rare, and they are usually only for the disciples of the sect to be idle......

Through the dim light in the room. Walk deeper into the stone path and cross the pond. There is a hexagonal room. On the stone platform in the room, a person sits cross-legged. This person is dressed in purple, with fluttering sideburns and eyebrows, and has a beautiful charm. This person is the current head of the Tomb Sect, Lan Gu, who is still beautiful in the past, but she has been turned white-headed by the pain of youth, and under her long flowing hair, a few silver-white hairs can still be seen, and she can't help but sigh how many years she has been tormented by the years.

Lan Gu had a calm expression, but her eyes were full of complicated emotions. Today is the expiration of eighteen years, and she knows that today is the time to send Fang Ying, who she has raised for eighteen years, back to Yixianmen, and return to her biological father's side. However, there is only Lan Gu in the Xuanxiang Room now, and Fang Ying does not seem to be here.

At this time, a cinnabar disciple slowly walked in outside the stone room, only to hear her say slowly: "Master, Ying'er is back-"

"Ying'er" refers to Fang Ying, that's what Fang Zhongtian called her back then, and so has Lan Gu in the past eighteen years. When Lan Gu heard this, she moved her arm slightly, and replied softly: "Really, today is the expiration date, and this seat is about to send her back to the mountain, back to her father, and she is still running around today......"

"There's no way to do it, the head ......," the female disciple responded, "Although Ying'er was adopted by the head of the sect, she herself is not a disciple of the Tomb Sect, so she can come and go in the tomb at will. Ying'er usually likes to adopt stray cats and dogs outside, and often brings them back, and we disciples of the Tomb Sect sometimes help take care of them-"

"Hmph-" Lan Gu couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this, "Yes, Ying'er is really, she actually has such a hobby......"

The female disciple thought for a while, and then said to Lan Gu: "Master, you have raised Ying'er for eighteen years, and now you want to send her back to Yixian Gate, you ...... Are you willing to do it?"

At the mention of this, the expression on Lan Gu's face suddenly became complicated. Her eyes were uncertain, but her expression seemed to be angry. Lan Gu froze down, and then looked straight at the door of the dark room and said: "The love and feud between me and Fang Zhongtian has ended here, and today I have fulfilled the oath of raising his daughter for eighteen years, and from now on, my Lan Gu and Fang Zhongtian will have nothing to do with each other." In this life, I will end my Lan Gu's life, and I will finally end up in the position of the head of the ancient tomb, I hope that my life will be born and this qiē relationship will be over......"

Listening to Lan Gu's sad story, although the female disciple has not tasted the love of the world, she can also feel a burst of sadness.

Lan Gu closed her eyes and stared for a while, then changed the topic and asked, "By the way, have you taken care of all the things that this seat arranged for you?"

The female disciple came back to her senses and immediately replied: "Back to the master, everything has been dealt with, the flying pigeon has already informed Fang Zhongtian, the head of the Yixian Sect, and ......."

"There is also a client...... Lan Gu added, "The client Canglong Hero, he is responsible for escorting Ying'er back to Yixian Gate, where has Canglong Hero gone?"

The female disciple continued to respond: "I just got a reply from Canglong Daxia, he said that he has arrived in the area of Zhongnan Mountain, I'm afraid it won't be long before he should come." ”

It turns out that the purpose of Canglong coming to the area of Zhongnan Mountain is this. said that he was coming to the Tomb Sect, but in fact, Canglong had accepted the commission of Lan Gu, the head of the Tomb Sect, for some reasons, to escort Fang Ying back to Yixian Gate. However, how exactly Canglong had a relationship with Lan Gu and accepted his commission is still unknown.

Lan Gu thought for a moment, and then instructed the female disciple: "Well, when the Canglong hero arrives at the gate of the ancient tomb, notify me immediately." ”

"Yes. Master-" The female disciple finally agreed, and then slowly walked out of the stone room.

Lan Gu was left alone in the stone room, as if she was sighing helplessly. Looking up and closing his eyes, he was silent for a long time......

"Master, I'm back—" After a while, a voice like a silver bell suddenly appeared. Lan Gu looked back and saw a brown girl about eighteen years old standing in front of the door of the stone room. The hair is coiled up, the temples are hanging down, the face is delicate, the eyes are like spiritual waves, and the pink lips and jade face are like the beauty of the Orchid Pavilion. The delicate face does not lose its beauty, this person is the daughter of Fang Zhongtian and Li Ting, Fang Ying, who has been raised by Lan Gu for eighteen years. Eighteen years ago. She is only a baby girl who has just been born for three months, and after 18 years, Fang Ying is now a peerless daughter.

"Ying'er, you're back......" Lan Gu saw Fang Ying. He replied slowly, as he did on the other day.

Fang Ying didn't come back empty-handed today. She also holds a weak white rabbit in her hand. When Lan Gu saw it, she couldn't help asking, "Ying'er, what did you bring back from outside this time?"

Fang Ying replied with a smile while caressing the white rabbit: "Master, this white rabbit was injured outside, I see that she is helpless and has no family, so I brought her back to raise her-" It seems that Fang Ying is a kind girl who loves small animals very much.

Lan Gu listened. He shook his head slightly and said, "Hey, you've been in this habit since you were a child. I like to bring some cats and dogs back outside, and when I am alive, I still trouble other disciples to help raise them, and when you die, you take them outside to be buried, I really can't understand you......"

Fang Ying lowered her head and stroked the white rabbit, and continued to respond: "Because I think these little animals are the same as me, they have not been accompanied by their families since they were children. They must have the same idea as me, they all want to return to their families as soon as possible and reunite with their families......" Speaking of this, Fang Ying's eyes also showed a faint sadness, the reason why she adopted these small animals was because Fang Ying felt that their fate was the same as herself, they were displaced and had no family. Whenever she thinks of this, Fang Ying misses her home, her father, who she doesn't remember, and her dead mother, who she never saw in her life.

And whenever Fang Ying mentioned her home, Lan Gu would also look at Fang Ying with complicated eyes, as if she was touched. "You're just as ...... as your mother was when she was alive," Lan Gu said casually.

"What's the matter, Master?" Fang Ying raised her head and asked when she heard Lan Gu's exclamation.

"It's nothing, it's just that when I saw Ying'er like this, I thought of your mother...... "Lan Guman said with recollections, "Your mother Li Ting was a goddess doctor in Yangzhou before her death, and she also loved small animals very much, in addition to helping the people of the world to relieve diseases, she also often adopted these poor little animals." Your mother is very kind, that's why your father will fall in love with her......" Speaking of this, Lan Gu's expression became complicated again, she didn't know whether she should love or hate. Whenever she sees Fang Ying's figure, Lan Gu always thinks of Li Ting's figure. was originally her rival in love, but after eighteen years of raising Fang Ying, Lan Gu also had a similar mother-daughter relationship with Fang Ying, and gradually dissolved such hatred. Today's Lan Gu has long lost her jealousy and hatred for Li Ting, and all the love and hatred are all placed on Fang Zhongtian, who is still alive in the world.

Fang Ying listened, and then replied, "By the way, Master, you never told me, my parents. Wasn't I born in Yixianmen?Then why did I come to the Zhongnan Ancient Tomb so far away, and why did you raise me for eighteen years, Master?" It seems that Lan Gu has not told Fang Ying about this memory. After all, Fang Ying was kind by nature, and Lan Gu was out of pity, she didn't want Fang Ying to know the truth too early and be heartbroken.

To be honest, for her relationship with Fang Zhongtian and Fang Ying, Lan Gu herself didn't know whether to love or hate. Eighteen years of hatred for Fang Zhongtian, naturally there is nothing to say, but he has raised Fang Ying for eighteen years, but it is eighteen years of nurturing love that has worn away this indissoluble feud and changed Lan Gu's character and human feelings.

Lan Gu was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "I said it, I can't sue you now, when you go back to Yixian Gate and see your real father, all the truths will be revealed......"

Fang Ying listened and looked slightly disappointed, after all, what she had gotten in the past eighteen years had always been this answer. She really wants to return to Yixianmen as soon as possible, return home, see her biological father, and reunite with her family. But she herself is actually reluctant to raise her Lan Gu for eighteen years, the moment she is reunited, she will have to part, which is also what Fang Ying can't bear to see. And today is the day of the eighteen-year period, and I should pack my bags, prepare to say goodbye to my master Lan Gu, leave Lan Gu and the Tomb Sect, and then go back to Yixian Gate......

"Ying'er, there's one more thing I have to tell you......" Lan Gu seemed to have something to say.

"What's the matter, Master?" Fang Ying asked again.

Lan Gu said slowly: "In the future, when you go out of the ancient tomb, don't say that I am your master?"

"Why, Master?" Fang Ying continued.

Lan Gu continued, "Although you have raised me in the Ancient Tomb for eighteen years, you are not an orthodox Ancient Tomb Sect disciple after all. The ancient tomb martial arts taught to you now are only a set of cold spirit magic techniques, but they are only used for self-protection and healing. When your mother was alive, she was the goddess doctor of Yangzhou, and she was famous for treating the world. I hope that when you grow up, Ying'er, you can be like your mother, and use your medical skills to save the world......" Lan Gu said, her voice gradually fell, and she herself didn't know why she praised her once hated rival Li Ting so much.

But Fang Ying didn't know anything, she had been listening to Aunt Lan's words since she was a child. So, Fang Ying smiled and nodded, "Yes, Master, Ying'er must keep it in mind-"

In fact, Fang Ying was lucky, although Lan Gu hated the love between Fang Zhongtian and Li Ting, but she was just jealous of the two, Lan Gu did not want to borrow Fang Ying's hand to continue the other party's Zhongtian revenge or other actions. Maybe Lan Gu is also kind by nature, and she can't bear to let this period of bitterness continue, so she simply let go of a qiē calmly, and raised Fang Ying for eighteen years to give herself pity. The qiē and qiē that Lan Gu did was just to temporarily punish Fang Zhongtian and let Fang Zhongtian taste the pain of lovesickness......

Lan Gu was silent for a while, and then said to Fang Ying: "Ying'er, today is the day you return home, you better go back and pack your things, someone will pick you up at the gate of the ancient tomb later......"

"Someone will...... Pick me up?" Although Fang Ying knew that she was leaving the ancient tomb today, she didn't know that someone would pick her up.

"After you get out of the ancient tomb, you will naturally know......" Lan Gu said slowly, "I have already sent a letter to your father of Yixian Sect, you better go back and prepare quickly......

"Yes......" Fang Ying replied with a little sadness, perhaps thinking that today she would say goodbye to the benefactor who had raised her for eighteen years, and she was also deeply sorry......

Fang Ying's room was not far from Xuanxiang's room, leading to a two-story secret passage to a four-walled house. The installation here is also simple, and there are not too many furnishings. In a small corner along the side of the bed, there was an empty space, which was where Fang Ying usually raised kittens and rabbits and other animals.

Fang Ying also put the white rabbit brought back today, and looking at the "big family" with a new member, Fang Ying said a little sadly: "You don't have to be displaced again in the future, and you can be with these friends...... However, I'm leaving, and maybe I'll never come back, even though I've been with you for so long, and I'm reluctant to ......"

Fang Ying was muttering to herself while stroking the little white rabbit's head. Fang Ying's eyes were uncertain, and then he said: "Although I am reluctant, I shouldn't be sad, right? I'm actually the same as you, and I can ...... I can also go back right away, and I'll be back and see my family right away......"

Fang Ying said, a few tears in the corners of her eyes, and she didn't know if it was the joy of seeing her family soon, or the reluctance to say goodbye to all the people of the Tomb Sect......

"Ying'er, the head of the sect has an order, let you go to the gate of the tomb with her-" The voice of the female disciple came from outside the door, it seemed that the Canglong hero had arrived, and Lan Gu had asked Fang Ying to prepare for leaving the tomb.

"Oh, it's coming-" Fang Ying turned around and agreed, then slowly stood up, picked up the package from the bed, and finally looked around at the bits and pieces of nostalgia here for the last time, two tears passed away, and left the room...... (To be continued......)
