1.

Things are at an impasse again.

On the one hand, no one knows where the only surviving nobody fled with the remnant after leaving the secret room, and on the other hand, even if the whereabouts of the original person were found, it was hard to guarantee that the whereabouts of the remnant would not change in any other way.

Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly and smiled: "What kind of is this, it's really difficult!"

Ye Xin looked at him coldly: "It seems that I have to continue to put up with your neuropathy for a while......"

Lin Xiao playfully looked back at Ye Xin's pretty face that seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, touched his chin, and deliberately took out the Qiankun bag containing the remnant picture to sway back and forth in front of her: "Then you can also consider killing my neurotic directly, and then take the picture away." ”

Ye Xin now knows that Lin Xiao has set up a "parallel talisman" on the Qiankun bag, and if he is in the talisman, he will lose everything, if he is in danger of his life, the talisman will be triggered, and the Qiankun bag will destroy the half of the remnant map. Thinking that he had calculated that he would never do anything to him if he wanted to get the residual picture, so he deliberately used this kind of words to stimulate her.

"Are you threatening me in disguise?"

"Since you want the remnant picture, and the remnant picture is in my hand, and it is linked to my life, then shouldn't you save my life? If I really have a little mistake, then if I can't save it, it will be one corpse and two lives!" Lin Xiao's face was full of his usual cunning feeling at this time.

Rao is cold as Ye Xin, at this time, he couldn't help but feel a knot of anger, and a burst of anger rushed up in his heart, and he waved a palm and cut at Lin Xiao's neck: "You ......!"

Ye Xin didn't have any strength attached to his palm, Lin Xiao raised his hand lightly to block it, and didn't forget to make a grimace at her: "What am I, the bargaining chips are in my hand now, can you help me?!" After speaking, he turned around and ran out of the secret room, went straight up along the original passage, and went in the direction of the main hall outside.

Ye Xin hatefully put down his hand that was about to fight, and left the secret room after Lin Xiao. When he was about to walk to the entrance of the secret passage, he suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, and a figure blocked the light shining in from the outside at the entrance of the cave-but it was Lin Xiao who returned the same way;

After Lin Xiao pressed Ye Xin against the wall, his body was close to her chest, and the distance between the two people was suddenly stretched extremely close, and the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

Ye Xin's mind was blank when Lin Xiao's press made his mind blank, and when he reacted slightly, the anger in his heart gradually ignited. Lin Xiao's hand pressed on her body was only pressed weakly, and there was no force, Ye Xin was actually easy to break free, but she thought that this little thief dared to be so light on herself, so she took out his hand and grabbed the hand he pressed on her body, as long as the strength arrived, Lin Xiao's arm bone would inevitably be broken into two.

Before Ye Xin could exert his strength, Lin Xiao suddenly quickly freed his other hand, and with a loud sound of breaking the sky, he heard a "snap" sound, Lin Xiao's five fingers closed his palm, and a feather arrow was firmly held in his hand.

The incident happened suddenly, thanks to Lin Xiao's reaction fast enough, the feather arrow was held in his hand, and the tail feathers continued to tremble under the action of inertia, as if he wanted to struggle to move on, and the tip of the arrow was only an inch away from Lin Xiao's face.

If Lin Xiaofang reacted half a beat slower, it would not be difficult to imagine that this feather arrow would inevitably pierce his head directly!

It was Ye Xin who reacted, her hand was originally on one of Lin Xiao's arms, so she grabbed his shoulder and pressed down, and the two of them crouched together on the steps of the secret passage.

Ye Xin asked in a cold voice, "Do you see who it is?"

Lin Xiao shook his head: "No." The other party was in ambush, and there was more than one person. If I hadn't kept an eye on it when I went out and probed it with the 'Heaven and Earth Net', I'm afraid I would have been on someone else's path now." ”

Ye Xin looked at the feather arrow in Lin Xiao's hand and said, "The arrow shot by this person is extremely accurate, and the strength is also strong, and there is no deviation due to the dim surrounding environment. Could it be ......?"

"Impossible!" Lin Xiao knew who Ye Xin wanted to talk about, but Yin Yangqiu was indeed cut by a knife and died so much that he couldn't die anymore, and this was a fact witnessed by the three of them, so it was absolutely impossible for him to shoot this arrow.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, his true qi rose naturally, transported the internal force to his wrist, secretly used skill, and waved his hand to throw the feather arrow out of the original way with the hidden weapon technique of "throwing the hand arrow".

As soon as the arrow came out of his hand, he heard the sound of tearing wind again, and another arrow was shot from the periphery of the corridor of the main hall. The two feathered arrows collided accurately in mid-air, and the arrows sparked sparks, and then were neatly cut in half by the other party at the same time.

"It's now—let's go!" The moment the two arrows intersected, Lin Xiao and Ye Xin got up at the same time and rushed out of the secret passage to track the stairs, jumped up and turned over into the main hall, and used the eaves of the corridor to block the sight of the archers on the periphery.

Lin Xiao stood still behind a pillar, completely hidden his whole person in the darkness, and asked loudly: "Your Excellency has excellent archery skills, and you are also a famous master of a generation. Since he is here, why hide like a small night, can he show up and see it openly!" His voice was filled with true qi, and it came out from afar, echoing everywhere in the corridor.

Before the words were spoken, the flames lit up in all directions, but a group of people lit torches and lanterns at the same time, illuminating the entire mansion as bright as day. Seeing this, Lin Xiao and Ye Xin's hearts sank: "It's not good, I'm surrounded!"

At the same time as the lights were on, a vigorous and powerful voice sounded, reaching Lin Xiao's ears: "Lin Shaoxia, old man Tan Song, this is polite!"

Lin Xiao let out a sigh, pulled out the Red Dust Sword and held it in his hand, walked out from behind the pillar, and looked in the direction of the speaker.

Under the lighting of the lights in the four corners, I saw an old man in brocade clothes standing in the courtyard outside the main hall, looking about fifty years old, with a red face, a long beard floating on his chest under his chin, and his left hand was "choking" playing with two iron galls the size of goose eggs.

This appearance looks like a rich businessman who lives comfortably all day long, but more like an old grandmaster who walks the rivers and lakes - this person is Tan Rui's father and the head of the Tan family, the largest family in Lanzhou City, Tan Song.

Lin Xiao had vaguely guessed in his heart why Tan Song had brought people to surround this place, and asked someone to ambush himself and Ye Xin, but he still showed that he didn't know anything and asked, "Master Tan said that he was laughing, and he didn't dare to do it." I don't know why Master Tan let people surround this place and send people to ambush here?"

Tan Song sneered: "Lin Shaoxia, you saved my daughter, I should have treated you politely." But you first broke into my family's storage land, kidnapped my daughter here, and killed all the guards set up here by the old man, how can we settle this account!"

Lin Xiao said: "Master Tan is calm and don't be impatient, and listen to the next word." Under the order of the master to investigate a serious case, its important clues are in this courtyard, and it is precisely because this place is the storage place of your mansion that I am worried that you will always have a lot of prevarication and will delay the investigation, so I took it upon myself to trespass here; Ling Ai was brought by me to help guide the way, and it is not a kidnapping, and as for the lives of the guards here, ......"

Speaking of this, Lin Xiao paused to stop talking, and then glanced back in the direction where Ye Xin was hiding.

"If you dare to say it, I'll try!" Ye Xin's voice reached Lin Xiao's ears through the method of "transmitting sound into secret", although the voice would seem a little ethereal and ethereal when the sound was forced into a line, Lin Xiao could still imagine Ye Xin's cold and vicious expression when he said this.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile and responded in the same way: "If I don't confess to you, I'll be finished!"

"The remnant was taken away by someone from my divine cult, if you want to find the whereabouts of the remnant, I can only provide relevant clues. Ye Xin said coldly, "In this case, you must protect me!"

"You're forcing me to gamble......"

"That old man's patience is limited...... You're running out of time!"

Lin Xiao looked back at Tan Song, who had a gloomy face, bowed to him, and said, "I'm sorry, Master Tan, I don't know about the lives of people here. But to vouch for the reputation of the teacher, it is definitely not what I did......"

"Enough!" Tan Song shouted angrily, "The kid surnamed Lin, the old man has lived so long, what kind of tricks have never been seen." You must be in the same group as Luo Zhenyu's gang of thieves, they kidnapped Rui'er outside the city, and asked you to pretend to kill a few people to save Rui'er to gain our trust, but secretly want to give my Tan family's wealth to a pot! I can tell you, if you don't confess your accomplices today, you won't want to leave here alive!"

These words were unreasonable, and Lin rushed up angrily, and couldn't help laughing: "Master Tan, if I really want to beat you up about these properties, why not use this kind of way." Do you really think that if you invite a few well-known martial artists, you can stop me?!"

Tan Song's old face turned red, gritted his teeth and said: "You thief is really a fierce and evil person, if you really let you escape today, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it!"

Lin Xiao's face sank: "Tan Song, I only respect you when you are older and a senior, you don't have to kick your nose on the face with an old face!

Tan Song didn't answer, and waved his hand directly: "Take it down for me!"

All the guards of the Tan Mansion rushed up, holding knives, guns and sticks and greeting Lin Xiao together. Lin Xiao looked at the people who rushed up, and stood still in place in a hurry, the sword qi on the Hongchen Sword lingered, ready to kill with a sword at any time.

But before the two sides could officially do anything, they suddenly threw out a few marbles-like things out of nowhere, smashed them on the ground, and exploded into a cloud of black smoke, enveloping the entire main hall of Haoran Xuan in it at once.

Lin Xiao was pulled to a screen by Ye Xin, the black smoke choked him with tears, coughed again and again, and couldn't even speak for a while: "That's ...... Is that...... What the hell?"

"Ink gall. Ye Xin said, "This is a secret weapon used by Dark Incense to escape from the battlefield or hide people's eyes and ears." While they are in a mess now, let's leave quickly, and don't bother with them again. The two bent down in the dark and walked out of the main hall from behind, and escaped from the backyard over the wall.

By the time the smoke had cleared, the two had already fled without a trace.

Tan Song was so angry that he smashed the iron gall in his hand to the ground, and the strength of his hand directly smashed two pits on the ground, and then shouted angrily: "Find me! Even if you turn over the entire city of Lanzhou, you have to find this kid for me!"

2.

Lanzhou City, Yong'an Bureau Tea Workshop.

"Eh, brothers, have you heard? Recently, something happened in our Lanzhou City!"

"This brother is really joking, you see that the city has been full of wind and rain in recent days, chickens and dogs are jumping, but the eyes are not blind and the ears are not deaf, can you not hear about this?!"

"You say, there really are...... Dare to provoke the Tan family? This courage is also a little fatter!"

"But no! This bounty hunting order is posted everywhere, and the Tan family's eyeliner and killers are all over the street, how much hatred does this have to make the Tan family fight like this. ”

"yes, and I see that the bounty picture is still a pair of young men and women. Looking at the young man, his ability is not small, and he can actually make the Tan family so nervous. ”

"If you want me to say, this Tan Song is not a good stubble. Someone like him, sooner or later, someone will look for him, I just didn't expect it to be now-this is the time when the Tan family is in full swing. ”

"Shh~ Brother Tai is cautious, beware of the ear ...... the wall"

...............

The people of the city sat in groups around the teahouse, drinking tea, and talking about the recent major events in the city, most of which were about the reward incident initiated by the Tan family this time; while speaking, they did not forget to secretly look at the few people with gloomy faces and mysterious whereabouts near the teahouse.

Those people are the eyes of the Tan family.

The people looked at them because they feared that they would hear what they were saying, that trouble would come out of their mouths, and that if any of the words were said inappropriately, they would be in trouble. The power of the Tan family can be said to cover the sky in the city of Lanzhou, and if it really wants to attract the revenge of the Tan family, I am afraid that I don't even know how I died!

But in addition to these weak-hearted people, there are two other people in the tea shop, who often lock their eyes on them. The two men were a young man and a woman, dressed in simple coarse cloth clothes, and looked like children of two poor families. But even though the faces of the two of them were stained with a lot of dust, it was difficult to hide the vitality in the young man's eyes and the coldness on the girl's face.

Those people would never have imagined that the two "amazing" protagonists in their conversation were sitting behind them at this time.

Lin Xiao happened to sit with his back to the group of people, and although the group of people deliberately lowered their voices to speak, with his cultivation of nearly the Seven Heavens, he still captured those words word for word.

He picked up the teacup in front of him and blew the hot tea gently, thinking about what a few people had said, he couldn't help but sneer: "It seems that this old guy Tan Song is not very popular in Lanzhou City, and the people are looking forward to his accident, how unpopular this is." ”

Ye Xin gently shook the tea cup in his hand, and watched Huang Chengcheng's tea soup swirl slightly in the cup: "What kind of business do you think Tan Song's old puppet is doing?" ”

"How?"

"Don't you think it's a little strange that he was able to hire Yin Yangqiu, who has disappeared for a long time? And if he is really just an ordinary rich businessman, even if he has more wealth, why should he let the dignified 'arrow without vain' of the Yuan Villa come to take care of his family!"

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "It's really a bit strange to say this. Could it be that the business he does has something to do with those people in the rivers and lakes?"

Ye Xin took a sip of tea and said coldly: "The Tan family owns the largest business in Lanzhou City, and there is more than one, every business he does may be priceless, such as the 'red goods' that the Taoist people most often say." Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of his property, Tan Song also sent his henchmen to set up the Flying Dragon Dart Bureau, which was specially used to escort darts for them, and the dart masters he hired were all outlaws who were running around the rivers and lakes. ”

Lin Xiao frowned: "In addition to walking darts, the dart master also needs to assist the local government as an armed force to protect the peace of the party when necessary. Tan Song specially hired these lawless people as dart masters, so you can imagine what they will do to the people when they are idle. ”

Ye Xin continued: "In addition, Tan Song's disciples who helped him do business in his early years abandoned business and joined martial arts and opened two martial arts halls here. These two people still have a close relationship with Tan Song, and it is estimated that the people trained in the martial arts hall are all thugs of the Tan family. In addition, Tan Song also has a very strong relationship in the government of the city of Lanzhou, so no matter what happens to Tan Song's dart masters or martial artists in the city, he can rely on the relationship of the government to settle it. ”

Lin Xiao hadn't understood in advance like Ye Xin before, and he couldn't help but be angry when he heard it: "Dare to be affectionate, this is a scourge!" After speaking, he said hatefully: "I also said how it happened that the martial law period was so coincidental in the past two days, and the city guards suddenly guarded it so strictly, and also enforced the curfew-it turned out that the old thief was taking advantage of the relationship between the government and the government to make ghosts!"

Ye Xin turned his gaze from the teacup back to the people outside the teahouse: "In the past two days, I have carefully observed the eyeliner that has been tracking us, most of them are practicing 'horizontal practice kung fu', and a few of them still have internal strength foundations; ”

Lin Xiao stretched out his finger and stirred it in the tea soup, seeing Ye Xin's frowns for a while. After dipping his fingers in the tea, he made a few random gestures on the table, and said: "Now there are these tails following everywhere like kraft candy during the day, and there are city guards guarding the city gate after sunset, so it is not a way for us to hide like this......

"Don't you little thief have the most ghost ideas on weekdays, what do you want to do now?" Ye Xin asked.

Lin Xiao turned his head and glanced at the few people who were wandering outside the teahouse, turned around and smiled indifferently at Ye Xin, buckled the lid of the teacup hard, and said, "Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to take the initiative!"

"Sit still?" Ye Xin repeated coldly.

Lin Xiao felt the cold murderous aura emanating from her body, and habitually leaned back: "I'm just making an analogy, don't get excited......

Ye Xin sneered and interrupted Lin Xiao's words: "I want to take a good look - even if I stand there on the street, which rat can take my life!"

3.

Outside the city of Shanzhou, Wushan, black pine forest.

"The brothers who are following behind you can show up, do you want me to invite you out? ”

Lin Xiao and Ye Xin stood still in the forest together, and Sen Ran said loudly. He was deep in his inner strength, full of energy, and his voice came out far away, echoing in the forest.

After leaving the teahouse, Lin Xiao and Ye Xin changed back into their original clothes, swaggered to the street, went straight to the north of the city, and went out of the city gate directly. This was the first time in the past few days that the two of them had taken the initiative to reveal their whereabouts, and they immediately attracted the attention of those eyeliners in the city, who followed them all the way here.

Lin Xiao and the others exposed their whereabouts so undisguisedly, as if they had no fear, as if someone would come to answer them, and they were not afraid of being followed at all. Therefore, the people who followed were cautious, for fear that the two would find their traces. It wasn't until Lin Xiao broke the signs of their tracking that he understood that the two were going to take the initiative this time.

As soon as Lin Xiao's voice fell, there was a soft sound of "squirming" from the tree behind him, as if someone was plucking the branches, and then a rapid bowstring sounded, and the sound of breaking the air was loud, and a feather arrow flew out of the treetops and branches very quickly, shooting at the back of his head.

The cold light flickered, Ye Xin's body method was light, and he had already turned quickly on the spot with one foot as the axis; at the beginning of his hand, the ruthless blade was instantly unsheathed, the edge of the blade was upward, and the blade was just facing the path of the feather arrow, and with a soft sound of "click", the feather arrow had been cut in half.

Ye Xin's hand trembled slightly, and the arrow carried an extremely strong force, which was transmitted to the ruthless blade through the arrow body, which actually made her hand holding the knife feel a little sore. Although her face was silent, she was secretly surprised in her heart, and she couldn't help but think of Yin Yangqiu, who had died under her knife.

As soon as she had this thought, she saw the branches in the canopy of the tree sway, and a tall man figure jumped down from the tree.

This person's dress is extremely strange, and he is wearing a funeral dress when a dead person is buried, and there are several talismans painted in red letters on yellow paper. He carried a bow and arrows on his back, and held a hard bow in his hand, and the green tendons on the back of his hand bulged out, showing a black texture. Although this man was disheveled, his pale face was stained with blood, and his eyes were only dead white, he could clearly see that there was a huge laceration on his neck, which looked like he had been cut by a knife, and it was impossible for him to live.

But this person was standing in front of Ye Xin now, staring at her with a pair of dead white eyes, and that face was extremely familiar - it was Yin Yangqiu, who was killed by Ye Xin in the Innocent Family Mansion before!

Lin Xiao had already turned around at this time, and naturally saw Yin Yangqiu's appearance like a desperate ghost. The sudden appearance of a dead person in front of him should have been an extremely terrifying thing, but Lin Xiao had already seen this kind of scene once - to be honest, Yin Yangqiu's current appearance was not as threatening as Yu Ziying in the "Mirage Realm" of the Liaoyuan family.

"Even the shroud is on, why are you reluctant to lie down and be a dead man with peace of mind!" Lin Xiao sneered, and took the Hongchen Sword with the sword sheath in his hand and turned it back and forth, "But what surprised me was that in addition to having an 'arrow without missing hair' under Tan Song's old dog's seat, there was actually a puppeteer." ”

Ye Xin held the ruthless blade in his hand and sealed it on his chest, pointing directly at Yin Yangqiu's upper body, as long as he made any changes, she would first use a knife to seal his arrow, and then cut off his head with a knife. In this way, even if Yin Yangqiu was refined by that puppet master into a murderous corpse demon, without a head and arms, he would not be able to raise any more storms.

There was a restless sound all around, and the canopies around them suddenly trembled violently, and a large group of people who had been hiding in the trees appeared together at this moment, each holding a machine repeater in their hands, condescending to Lin Xiao and Ye Xin. In this case, if ten thousand arrows are fired at once, no matter how fast Lin Xiao and the others are, there will be nothing to hide.

A burst of clapping sound sounded behind Yin Yangqiu, and he saw a feminine-looking middle-aged man turn out from behind him, followed by a group of figures with swords and swords, these people quickly set up a formation, spread their positions, and surrounded Lin Xiao and the others in the center.

"The two young heroes are really good, and I admire them. The puppeteer said in a weird manner, "But no matter how good the two of them are, how can they block Mr. Yin in front and surround them in the back?"

Lin Xiaosen smiled: "You really look up to us!"

"The two of you should cooperate well and come with me to Master Tan for a trip. Otherwise, if I give an order and fire ten thousand arrows at once, the two of you have good skills, but you have to stay here. ”

Lin Xiao said coldly: "Just with these crooked melons and cracked dates and wine bags and rice bags, you also want to leave us behind?

The puppeteer's face changed suddenly: "Hurry up and release the arrow!"

The people in ambush on the tree responded to the sound of pulling down the crossbow together, and the sky above the forest was suddenly shrouded in a black oppressive shadow, and thousands of crossbow arrows shot down like flying locusts, heading straight for Lin Xiao and Ye Xin. This wave of arrows was powerful enough to shoot the two of them into a bloody mess.

Lin Xiao had already made a sword mark with his right hand, and twisted a sword trick behind his back with his left hand. The flying red dust volleyed into thousands of sword shadows, enveloping Lin Xiao and Ye Xin in sword shadows.

The puppeteer frowned, and said in surprise: "This kid is really not simple, he can actually make the 'Bibo Sword Prison'!"

Bibo Sword Prison, under the checkpoint set up by the "Qin Immortal" in Qingyu Mountain that day, he was able to successfully block the "invisible and unintentional seven killing strings" of the lower Qin, not to mention the wave of crossbow arrows that flew in this area.

The sword prison organized by the red dust of sword shadows shot down all the crossbow arrows that were shot, and some even flew upside down or bounced back, shooting down several of those who released the arrows, and even the people around the encirclement were injured a lot.

The puppeteer waved his hand with a gloomy face and shot down a crossbow arrow that was shooting at him, and was about to make the next move, when he suddenly saw a gap open in the sword prison, and a shadow flew out from the sword shadow of the red dust, the cold light flashed, and there was a cold sword wind.

The next moment, Ye Xin's blade had quietly wiped over Yin Yangqiu's neck. This move "Dao Heart Demon Sheng" has reached its best in terms of the strength of the move, and it hit a strong real damage in the fleeting phantom, and the wound on Yin Yangqiu's neck was suddenly doubled, and his head left its original position directly under the drive of the blade, flew out under the action of inertia and fell to the ground, and rolled far away with a "grunt", and finally didn't know where it rolled to.

Yin Yangqiu's headless corpse fell to the ground with a "pounce", like a captive who surrendered after defeat.

Ye Xin took advantage of the situation, put the ruthless blade on the puppeteer's neck, and said in a cold tone: "If you don't want to end up with this surnamed Yin, let your people retreat!"

The puppeteer's expression was extremely gloomy, and he let Ye Xin put the knife on his neck, tilted his head to look at her and sneered: "I hate it in my life when others put a knife on my neck." ”

The chill on Ye Xin's face was a little stronger, and the ruthless blade pierced the skin on his neck, oozing blood: "That's not up to you!"

The puppeteer still looked fearless, and said with a sly smile: "Girl, I don't think you have forgotten something important...... At the same time, Lin Xiao in the sword prison felt that his heart seemed to skip a beat, and an ominous premonition arose.

"I'm a puppeteer!"

Lin Xiao reacted suddenly, and hurriedly shouted: "Ye Xin, retreat!" At the same time, he waved his hand to remove the sword seal, and the sword shadow flying in the sky brought a burst of swift sword wind to sweep down most of the people holding crossbows on the tree, and the long sword merged into one in midair, and the spirit sword body fell into Lin Xiao's hands, rushing towards the puppet master with a violent sword qi.

However, it was already a step too late, and at the moment before Lin Xiao removed the sword mark, the puppeteer actually took the initiative to wipe his neck on the blade of the Ruthless Blade, and for a while, blood gushed like a spring, and a large amount of spilled blood instantly wrapped his whole person, turning him into a bloody man.

Ye Xin was taken aback, and before she could fully react, the bloody man turned into a red paper figure as tall as a puppeteer, tightly wrapping around Ye Xin's arm holding the knife. Immediately after, the puppeteer's true body appeared behind her, and a talisman mixed with a cold force of true qi directly hit her in the back of the heart.

In an instant, Ye Xin only felt that her whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, and her limbs were covered with an indescribable coldness, and the piercing feeling stimulated the meridians around her body, freezing her face like gold paper, and suddenly her eyes turned black, her throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and she fell straight down in Lin Xiao's exclamation and the puppeteer's cruel laughter......
