The small shell chased the sea all the way down the mountain.

"How can you not die?!"

"There's water down there, and herbs on both sides. ”

"Then you can't kick him down so high!, how did he offend you?!"

Canghai no longer spoke, just looked down at the road, and walked quickly step by step.

"Hey, you're talking, talking!"

The sea is still deaf.

"Hey!" Xiao Shell pulled Canghai to a stumbling back, "You're done talking before leaving!"

Canghai frowned and said, "Don't make trouble, I think about it." ”

"Think about it later. ”

"Let's go, they wake up in a while, and we won't be able to run. ”

"Then run. ”

Canghai helplessly looked at the crooked robe that Xiao Shell was still pulling, and thought: What kind of enmity does this dress have with them, why did this finish that?

"Then you let go, let's talk about it while we walk?"

"Okay. ”

Canghai closed the placket, but the robe had been scratched and wrinkled, and it was impossible to look at it. Canghai sighed secretly and said in his heart: You violent maniacs......

"What the hell are you asking me to say?"

Xiao Shell began to grind his teeth again, "Say what are you kicking Xue Hao down for!"

"Oh. Canghai kept trying to smooth his clothes, and while speeding up his pace to go down the mountain, he said absentmindedly: "In order to protect him." ”

"To protect him, do you know what you're talking about?" Shell sneered, dismissive.

"I don't know what to do. But I know what I'm doing. ”

"What are you doing? Aren't you just kicking that donkey who trusts you so much off a cliff?"

The sea stopped and sighed. He walked down the hill again. But he finally decided to explain it to Shell.

"Xue Hao has been followed for several days, and his whereabouts are clear to the 'Drunken Wind', when the 'Drunken Wind' finds out that he has nothing to do with Ren Shijie, what do you say they will do?" After a pause, he replied to himself: "The only thing they will do is to continue to hunt him down." ”

"So you're kicking him down?"

"It's much safer down there than above. 'Drunken Wind' will soon find out that Xue Hao really has nothing to do with Ren Shijie, at that time, Xue Hao's injury was not healed, not to mention that his martial arts were greatly reduced, the probability of his death increased by at least fifty percent, and his injury dragged on for too long, it was difficult to guarantee that it would not deteriorate. Now that he is below, the 'drunken wind' man would never have thought that he would not find it, and he would have enough time and herbs to heal the wound," he sighed and added, "I hope he understands the medicinal properties of those herbs." However, if he can't figure out what we mean, when he recovers, I'm afraid we will be the target of his pursuit. ”

"Do you think he'll figure it out?"

Canghai tilted his head and said, "No." ”

There was silence for a moment.

Xiao Shell said: "Okay, I blame you for my mistake." But how do you know that there is water and herbs underneath the cliffs?"

"I heard what Huangfu Lushi said back then. ”

"How long has 'then' been now?"

"At least more than ten years. ”

The little shell was speechless. After a while, he said: "Then how can you guarantee that there is still water below now and Xue Hao will not fall to his death?"

"I can guarantee it. Canghai's voice sounded a little low. "Where is fog most likely to occur?"

"Water's edge. ”

"What time of year is the heaviest fog?"

"Autumn morning. ”

"Why?"

"Wet, cold. ”

"That's right," Canghai took a long breath and said, "The cold and damp water surface is the most prone to fog, and when the fog on the towering cliff was gradually dispersed by the sun just now, the bottom of the cliff was still covered with mist. Through these, coupled with Huangfu Greenstone's words back then, I can guarantee that there is water under the cliff, and the water surface is not too small. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Shell pondered for a moment and smiled, and said, "That way, I won't worry about him so much." He smiled and complimented, "You know so much." ”

Canghai frowned slightly helplessly, and said, "When you can realize that you are in danger, you can also know more." ”

"What's the danger to me?"

Canghai really didn't know whether to say that he was "simple" or "stupid", so he had to sigh and said: "I really don't know why I took you with me in the first place, and I knew that Lu Dao would bring Hengchuan out like this." ”,

The little shell looked very unhappy. "I don't know if you can teach me, but you are not allowed to say that you will not take me with you in the future, and I will follow you wherever you go in the future. ”

Canghai looked at the sky, maybe he was rolling his eyes, but he didn't talk nonsense to Xiao Shell, just said: "You don't have a sense of crisis at all." ”

Xiao Shell immediately retorted, "Why not! I've always been vigilant!"

"So vigilant that we didn't even notice that we weren't going down the mountain?"

"Huh?" Shell looked around and said in surprise, "Really, I didn't even pay attention...... Then what are we doing ...... the peaks of the mountain road turned around, and Xiao Shell saw it and said: "Hey, how is there a house here, and who lives in it?"

Canghai replied: "Chen Pi Ancestor. ”

"Ha Luha, what a strange name, does he love to eat tangerine peel?"

Canghai patiently explained: "He admired the Taoist master 'Chen Tuan Ancestor' in the five dynasties very much, so he wanted to visit the Tao, so he also called himself 'Chen Tuan', but I don't know what it is, everyone gave up his self-name, and called it 'Chen Pi'." When he was old and senior, everyone added the word 'ancestor' to his name to show respect. This is where the name 'Tangerine Peel Ancestor' comes from. ”

"Oh, I see. So what kind of seniority can he have?"

The so-called "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse", although they see the house in front of them, they have to take a long detour to reach the goal. So Canghai is not in a hurry, he still has a lot of time to explain to Xiao Shell.

"He actually has another name, but since he lived in seclusion, few people have mentioned it, I don't know if you have heard of the person 'Getaway'?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Shell's eyes suddenly widened after hearing this, nodded vigorously, and said point-in-cheek: "I have read the volume of the 'Ranger Book' in the dossier, he is the first person in a hundred years of rangers, and his name is 'Getaway' Chen Chao! He is also the senior brother of the former martial arts alliance leader Huangfu Greenstone! I didn't expect him to settle here after retiring, and changed his name to Chen Pi Ancestor, if I can see it today, it is really my life's wish!"

"You adore him?"

"yes, yes—but how did we get here?"

Canghai pulled the corner of his right mouth, snorted lightly, and said, "Do you think that I asked Xue Hao here all the way for me? ”

"Then what is the purpose of you kicking Xue Hao down other than to protect him?" The little shell asked as soon as he reacted.

Canghai didn't give an answer immediately, but first looked at Xiao Shell's face that was clever due to his strong desire for knowledge, and felt that he was like a little wolf dog who heard something and raised his ears, and couldn't help but smile and praise, "A little grown", before he continued: "That means you don't have a sense of crisis, do you think, they woke up and found that Xue Hao was gone, and they couldn't find it, and the people who met him the last to meet were you and me, what would happen to the result?"

Xiao Shell was accustomed to Canghai's guided education methods, and his head kept running rapidly, thinking along his train of thought, and replied: "Then the target they track will change from Xue Hao to us?"

"Then whether we find out about our relationship with Xue Hao and Ren Shijie or not, we will become the target of 'Drunken Wind'. ”

The little shell was stunned, and his feet eased for a moment, and he shouted, "Aren't we very dangerous?"

"You've just found out, but it's better to be an afterthought than to be unaware. After a moment's notice, he added, "However, we will not be in danger for the time being. ”

"For how long?"

"Before the donkey climbed up. ”

Xiao Shell habitually grabbed the hem of Canghai's clothes, and a blank space flashed in his mind for a few seconds, and then said: "Then why didn't you ask Xue Hao to kill those three killers just now?"

Canghai stopped abruptly and said unhappily: "Why are you so murderous at such a young age? I don't want to see anyone die, and no one has the right to deprive others of their lives. What's more, killing the three of them won't help, 'Drunken Wind' will still know where Xue Hao has gone and who he has seen, even if he delays time, it won't be able to delay for long. Staring at the small shell, his face sank like water, and said solemnly: "Mencius said, a gentleman is not much more good to others; Liu Zi said, from good is like turning around, sending evil is like going to revenge; "Chinese" has a saying, from good as ascending, from evil as collapsing; "Zuo Chuan" has a saying, good can not be lost, evil can not be long; "Book of Rites" also said that "only good is treasured", you have read these books, how can you still ......" sighed and said: "In short, you must not be vain in the future, remember it?" Seeing that Xiaoke was taught to nod and admit his mistakes, his face turned slightly pale, and he continued to move forward. ,

Xiao Shell lowered his head and thought about Canghai's words again in his heart, and then said after a while: "Then you didn't think that we would be in danger in advance?"

"How could it not have been thought of. ”

"Then you're doing this, you're doing it?"

"Yes!" accentuated.

Xiao Shell was completely stunned, and stammered, "You, what are you going to do?"

Canghai didn't have a hippie smile all the way, but kept very quiet, and it seemed that he was really thinking about something. The jade face is slightly cold, the eyebrows are slightly frowned, and the mouth is tight.

Canghai bit his lower lip and said, "At present, the available resources of 'Drunken Wind' will be divided into at least two groups, one group to track down Ren Shijie's whereabouts, and one group to track Xue Hao. Now that Xue Hao is gone, they will inevitably divide some more people to come out to find him, and then divide some people to come out to check on us, and after we put Tang Qiuchi under house arrest, the 'Drunken Wind' will divide people out to find and rescue Tang Qiuchi, then we will disperse their strength by half of the purpose, and then sooner or later they will find out the 'wealth', and they will be caught by us just like the people who came to save Tang Qiuchi. The more the 'drunken wind' people disappear, the more likely they will be to mess up, and at that time, maybe we will turn from the light to the dark. ”

Xiao Shell didn't squeak after hearing it, he never thought that a seemingly sudden whole behavior could have so much follow-up significance, straightened out his thoughts, and asked again after a while: "Did you think about these before sending tips to Xue Hao?"

Canghai thought for a moment and said, "Not exactly. ”

The little shell was speechless. Sometimes I really want to open his head to see what kind of structure is inside, and what can be different from others?

Seeing that he was almost in front of the house, Xiao Ke asked again, "Then what are you doing here to find the ancestor of tangerine peel?"

"Come and see him. ”

"That's all?"

Canghai smiled, "It's just like this at the moment, if we see Ren Shijie's daughter 'Huaiyue Woman' Luo Xinyue and her fiancé Lin Shuyang at his place for a while, then it's a different matter." ”

"Why are they here?"

"Maybe it's the same as Li Fan's purpose when he appeared at the Towering Cliff, first to visit, and later to ask for help. The head of the Kunlun faction, Yu Xiaozi, and the 'getaway' Chen Chao are good friends, this time Yu Xiaozi asked his apprentice to come to do errands and take a look at his old friend by the way, and it is not difficult to speculate through Li Fan's attack that Lonely Shuyang and Luo Xinyue may have also encountered the same danger, so their nearest target for help will definitely be Chen Chao. And Luo Xinyue came here to meet Chen Chao's niece, Luo Peiqiong. ”

“...... Luo Peiqiong and Luo Xinyue can't be mother and daughter, right?"

Slightly raising the corners of his lips, Canghai said: "That's right." That's why I would say they would definitely come to Yongning Town to meet. ”

“...... It's so handsome......" Xiao Shell looked so adoring that he couldn't help himself. After walking a few more steps, he pointed in front of him and said, "Hey, let's hurry in......"

"Wait," Canghai grabbed him and instructed, "After you go in for a while, don't mention Chen Chao's bald head when you see him......

"Why is he bald?

This was the last sad thing he wanted to talk about, when his hair fell out of overwork at the age of forty-eight. ”

“...... Oh, got it. ”

"Also, if Luo Xinyue is really here, you must not call her 'Huaiyue Woman', can't you even mention these four words?"

"What's that for?" the little shell was even more puzzled.

Canghai sighed lightly, "Don't you think the 'Pregnant Moon Woman' sounds a lot like the 'Pregnant Woman'?" Both of their cheeks were slightly red from the smile, and their eyes that looked at each other revealed naughtiness and tacit understanding. It took a long time for Canghai to cough and stop laughing, but he said to Xiao Ke: "What's so funny, let's go in." ”

Outside the residence of the ancestor of Chen Pi, there is still a piece of archway that is not tall or short, and the word "Xinglu" is written on it, thinking that it is an account and nostalgia for his half-life travel career, therefore, Chen Chao's grass house is called "Xinglu Lu", also called "Xinglu".

Go inside, it is a small courtyard, the courtyard is paved with a square bluestone slab on the ground, it seems neat and tidy and a little too deserted, there is a striking grave mound piled up at the corner of the courtyard, a large stone tablet in front of the mound, engraved with a big inscription as "shoe mound", there is a line of small characters at the back: Leisurely travel to bury loyal friends here. It turned out that Chen Chao brought all the shoes worn out by half of his life back to the grass house, and built a tomb for this "loyal friend". A person who can call shoes a "loyal friend", you can easily or very difficult to imagine what kind of temperament he is, but you have to admit that such a strange man is absolutely well-deserved to be ranked as the "first person of a hundred years of rangers" in Bai Xiaosheng's "Hero Spectrum". I think anyone who sees this mound will inevitably sigh.

Look at the two sides of the tombstone and erect a couplet tablet respectively, the upper link is "a trip to the Zitai Lianshuo desert", and the lower link is "leaving the green mound alone to the dusk". Whether it's appropriate or not, but if you can compare the worn shoes to Zhaojun, this ranger is the only one in the ages. However, for these two lines of Du Fu's poems, I think Chen Chao sighs more likely to be the fate of himself and everyone in the world. No matter what your past is, death is inevitable. Maybe that's why Chen Chao wants to visit the Tao.

Further inside is a main hall, there is also a couplet on both sides of the hall door, the upper link is "traveling thousands of miles", the lower link is also "traveling thousands of miles", and then looking at the horizontal batch, it is: "traveling thousands of miles". Xiao Shell couldn't help laughing, why did this person only emphasize traveling thousands of miles, but he didn't know how to read thousands of books?

Walk through the main hall to the back room. There are three rooms on the left, middle and right, and Canghai leads the small shell into the middle room. As soon as I entered the house, the unthinkable happened.

Without warning, a sword rested on Canghai's neck.
