1.

Changfeng came to Lin Xiao's side in an instant, his mouth/lips did not move, and his voice had come out of his voice: "Do you want to chase it?"

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, and then said, "Chase!" Although this thief seems to be a soft bone, his own cultivation is not high, so he should not be a big person. But their group has just arrived in the capital for more than one night, and they met a guy who cultivates the rune path, to say that this is a coincidence, it is really a bit far-fetched, it is better to follow and catch up, anyway, there are two people on their side, and together they are not afraid of being calculated by that thief.

The two of them ran together in the direction that the thief had left, Changfeng's light cultivation was much higher than Lin Xiao's, and within two or three steps, he was already far ahead. How could the little thief have such a ability to run so far, and before he could turn a corner, the long wind had already turned over and jumped up in the air and stopped in front of him.

The thief didn't expect Changfeng to catch up with him so quickly, and suddenly saw him appear in front of him, and couldn't help but be frightened, and then opened his mouth and scolded: "Damn, little brat, you belong to kraft candy, so clingy!" But after all, the cultivation gap between him and Changfeng was too far, and although he made a dodge movement in time, the other party's fingertips still rubbed against the tip of his nose, rubbing the tip of his nose with a hot pain.

The sweep in Changfeng's hand was just a false move, and when he saw the other party flash, he followed up with another kick. Since he was fifteen years old, he has been unable to grow up anymore, he is shorter, and with a move of "Kuixing Kick Fight" on his feet, he pushes radially to the abdomen of the opponent. The thief was shocked and angry when he saw it, and even forgot to dodge, out of male instinct, he reached out to cover a hidden part of his lower body, and then he was kicked out by Changfeng, and his hand didn't have time to stretch out to support it, so his butt hit the ground first, and he rolled on the ground one more time.

The thief turned over and stood up, grinning in pain, covering his ass with one hand and his crotch with the other, forming a posture of front and rear protection, as obscene as he wanted, he scolded while jumping his feet: "I'll fuck you, you fucking want Lao Tzu to cut off his children and grandchildren!" After finishing speaking, the hand behind him shook slightly, as if he was playing a trick, and a pile of yellow and clear rune paper was turned out from the tattered clothes on his body, there were more than a dozen sheets.

"If you can force Lao Tzu to this, you little kid is capable enough!" The thief scolded, stretched out his hand and shook it slightly, and the pile of rune papers in his hand flew out with his movements, moving without wind, and flew straight to the four big holes on Changfeng's body, "Xuanji", "Huacani", "Purple Palace" and "Yutang".

Changfeng stood firmly in place, his left hand naturally drooped beside him, and his right hand was gently raised, and a thick palm force quietly stirred, blowing up a few fallen leaves on the ground, and pulling them into his palm with the released true qi. Those few fallen leaves were filled with sword qi under the traction of Changfeng's internal force, and then shot out, like a piece of sharp blades, straight towards those few talismans, and collided with them. As soon as those talismans came into contact with the sword qi on the fallen leaves, a faint ball of fire immediately appeared, and then it was cut in half.

But those few talismans were just a disguise, the little thief didn't think about continuing to consume with Changfeng at all, as early as the moment when the talisman made a move, he strode out to the side, obviously trying to take advantage of Changfeng to escape when he was tripped by the talisman. However, before he could run a few steps out, there was a sudden sound of breaking the air beside him, and a fierce murderous aura came from the side. The thief's footsteps staggered, and he accurately avoided the thrown Biluo sword, and this agile movement was almost like two people compared to the clumsy moves of the previous one.

When Lin Xiao hurried over and threw his long sword to contain the thief, Changfeng had already broken through the blockade of the talisman with his sword qi, and immediately rushed up with his luck and reached out to grab the "Changqiang Point" on the thief's waist.

Between the rise and fall of the rabbit, the thief suddenly waved his hand and threw out all the stacks of talismans in his hand. For a while, the sky was full of flying rune paper, fluttering like flying flowers, and like yellow butterflies, all rolled towards the long wind.

The long wind roared, and the true qi suddenly soared, and with a wave of his hand, he made a move to "clear the clouds and see the sun", and the palm power burst out, and those talismans were directly swept into one place by the palm wind in mid-air, and they were blown back along the way they came. But the thief had already dodged and rushed into the corner, and when the pile of talismans fell, it just blocked the sight of Lin Xiao and Changfeng, the thief sneered lightly, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the wrapped talismans were ignited at the same time, instantly burning into a huge fireball, and suddenly a dazzling firelight illuminated the entire dark alley. The fireball rolled down to the ground, heading straight for the wind closest to it.

"Damn!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, he saw that Changfeng's fingertips had condensed a sword aura, obviously trying to break the fireball head-on. It stands to reason that Changfeng does have this strength, and anyone who has cultivated in the Quadruple Building for thousands of years will not take this fireball in their eyes. But the key is that there are still a lot of houses near this alley, and there are fights and arsons in the middle of the night, and it is a blessing of luck that no one has been attracted until now; if Changfeng's sword qi collides with this fireball, maybe the two of them will be surrounded by the residents and police who rushed over in a while.

This is also the cunning of the thief, he knows that there are all houses near this place and dares to put such a big fireball out, obviously to ask Lin Xiao and them to throw a mouse trap - as long as they don't want to cause a sensation, they will not choose to break it head-on, but will use the way of elimination to dissolve the fireball, but in that case it will definitely take a lot of time, which will provide him with the best chance to escape.

Seeing that the fireball had been pressed to the front of him only a few steps away, Changfeng was also ready to attack. This swordsman hadn't really been in the Triple Building, and he wouldn't think about whether it would have any impact on the nearby residents, but in his opinion, if there was an obstacle in front of him, it would be good to break it directly. If he were the only one to arrest tonight, the thief's wishful thinking would have come to naught.

But his plan finally worked, because it was not only Changfeng who came to arrest people, but also Lin Xiao.

At the moment when Changfeng was about to make a move, Lin Xiao suddenly grabbed his shoulders from behind, directly pulled him behind him, and blocked the way of his sword qi with his body. In this way, Changfeng will not be able to make any more moves, otherwise it will hurt Lin Xiao. He hurriedly withdrew the sword qi condensed on his fingers, and stretched out his hand to push the person in front of him out of the range of the fireball.

Lin Xiao didn't dodge or dodge, he sealed with one hand, and slapped his palm on the ground at the beginning of his true qi, and a trace of ripples suddenly appeared in the air, and all kinds of things in the alley appeared a little stagnant for a moment at that moment, and even the speed at which the fireball pressed over seemed to become slower.

Changfeng was slightly stunned, and said secretly in his heart: "Miluo Fantasy Realm?!"

Since Lin Xiao regained his memory and cultivation, he had been practicing kendo with Ye Wuxin and Hongchen, and the immortal gate rune techniques that he had mastered in the Quadruple Building had now been completely forgotten, and at the moment, this "Mira Illusion" was the only spell he could use now.

As for Lin Xiao's talent and foundation, why should he learn this instead of practicing other more advanced spells, mainly because firstly, Ye Wuxin's own cultivation is the Demon Gate Technique and the Way of the Imperial Sword, and he is not familiar with the Immortal Gate's Charm Dao Method; With this latter point, the role that "Milo Fantasy" can play in the Triple Building is far more important than other spells.

At the moment when the "Miluo Fantasy Realm" was placed, there would be a slight fluctuation of spiritual power, causing the things wrapped in the illusion to stagnate for a short time. Lin Xiao had already calculated everything in his heart, this wave of stagnation was enough for him to slow down the end of the spell, and at the moment when time was about to resume flowing, his right arm shook, and Bi fell into his hand and a black fierce sword qi swung up, facing the fireball is a sword slash.

The scarlet sword qi erupted in an instant, cutting the flames in half, and along with the sword qi being torn apart, there was also the "Miluo Fantasy Realm" that had just been laid down. However, fortunately, the fireball had been cut open, and the aftermath of the sword qi impact had also canceled out the spiritual power fluctuations generated when the illusion collapsed. If there are outsiders around here, you won't feel anything at all.

"Chase, I just saw that kid turn around and run. Lin Xiao put away the long sword, and Bi fell into a blood-colored light in his palm, and then disappeared. The two chased into another alley around the corner, which was arranged in one direction before the intersection, and there were houses on both sides, unless the thief went directly over the wall and hid in someone else's house, otherwise he must still be running on this alley.

The two chased for a while, but they didn't see their target. It is said that the little thief is also proficient in the rune path, and his little cultivation should not be able to support him to run far, and both of them have used light skills, and it is estimated that they should also catch up at this time. Who knew that if they chased them any further, what was waiting for them was not a panting thief, but a stone wall.

They chased and chased all the way and ran into a dead end!

2.

Lin Xiao looked at the stone wall, turned his head a few more times and looked around, convinced that there was no other way, so he leaned against the wall and gasped a few breaths, and said in disbelief: "No, right? That kid really slipped off the roof of someone else's house? Then he is really good enough!"

Changfeng touched the wall a few times, and asked a little unwillingly: "Could it be that he ran over this wall?" He couldn't speak, and his voice came directly from his throat with internal force.

"If this is a dead end, then this wall is actually the back wall of someone else's house, or directly the wall of someone else's house. Lin Xiao said: "If that kid really goes over the wall and doesn't want others to know, he has to escape from the roof, and it is estimated that he has already run away at this time, it seems that it is impossible for us to catch up." ”

"You two boys, what are you doing here?" said the two men, when a voice suddenly sounded from behind them.

Lin Xiao and Changfeng turned their heads and saw a cleaner with a broom and dustpan standing behind them. The environment in this alley is too dark, Lin Xiao can only faintly see that the cleaner seems to be quite old, about fifty years old, and he still comes out to do this kind of street sweeping work at this age, and he still doesn't have to work at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, which is probably the family is more difficult, and he wants to come out to work more to subsidize the family.

Lin Xiao said politely: "I'm sorry, my friend and I are from out of town, and we came here to find a distant relative, and we just came out of his house and wanted to go back to the hotel. ”

The cleaner said, "I don't know the way, so go back to your relative's house and ask if you understand before leaving, don't stay here, this place...... It's not clean! People in this area don't come here. ”

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "That's, that's, if this place is clean, you won't have to clean it here." ”

Who knew that the cleaner waved his hand: "I said that you young man is really a young man, you don't understand anything." If I hadn't been assigned to sweep this alley, I would never have come here. This is not the meaning of 'unclean' that we normally understand!"

Changfeng suddenly spoke: "This place is haunted?"

The cleaner didn't see Changfeng speak, but he heard the sound of his urn ringing in his ears, and he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, and shouted, "Ghost!

Lin Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to support him, thinking that this uncle was not too young, if he accidentally sat on the ground and fell out, or scared out of a heart attack or cerebral hemorrhage, it would be much more difficult to deal with than ten fireballs. He glanced at Changfeng and asked him to stop talking, and at the same time comforted and prevaricated: "Don't get excited, my friend has a mouth ulcer recently, and it hurts when he opens his mouth to speak, so he purses his lips to speak...... In short, it's all a misunderstanding!"

Although Changfeng didn't know how the triple building treated the old man, he also noticed that he seemed to have made a mistake, so he obediently stood aside and stopped talking, just smiled and nodded, and finally let the cleaner man calm down.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. The cleaner patted his chest and breathed slowly, and said, "I just said, this alley is not very clean, to put it bluntly, just like your friend said - haunted! ”

Lin Xiao couldn't help frowning and asked, "What is in this alley...... Did someone die in the crosshairs?"

"Not really!" said the cleaner.

"Even if it were, it's not that exaggerated. Lin Xiao said, "If you want to say that you have died, during the Second Opium War, the British and French troops invaded the Forbidden City, burned, killed and looted, and the tragedy was faster than the Jinling Massacre in the later anti-Japanese period.

"Hey, you young man, I can tell you, the older generation has to listen to what they say, otherwise they will suffer a big loss!" The cleaner saw that Lin Xiao and the others looked indifferent to his words, how could he think that these two young people were both from cultivation and Taoism, and thought that they were young and frivolous, so he directly regarded his words as a joke, so he reprimanded: "Anyway, I have already put this here, you can believe it or not, you have suffered a big loss when you turn around, you have nowhere to cry; I will not continue to stay here." As he spoke, he turned around and left, not even sweeping the ground, for fear that Lin Xiao and the others would really anger the ghosts and gods;

Lin Xiao watched the cleaner gradually walk away, and suddenly asked, "Eh, old man, the last question - what is this alley called?"

The cleaner stopped, turned around, and replied angrily: "Dengcao Hutong!"

As soon as the words "Dengcao Hutong" came out, the smile on Lin Xiao's face froze, and his body froze involuntarily. For a while, the words Ye Wuxin had said flashed in his mind: "...... I had been to the capital before I went to Thornton City, and I heard someone mention that there was a Dengcao Hutong in the old city, and there lived a person called 'Bai Xiaosheng', who said that 'heaven and earth, omniscience'......"

"Is this a coincidence?!" Lin Xiao's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and he hurriedly asked one more question: "May I ask what are the two words 'lamp grass'?" This question is still very necessary, Ye Wuxin told him that what he was talking about was "lamp grass alley" - the lamp of the electric lamp, the grass of the grass, and the cleaner uncle said "Dengcao alley", or maybe he was old and slurred his speech, and he was actually talking about "lamp trough alley".

The cleaner glared and said, "You young man, you look like a cultured person, how come you can't read than an old man like me?" What other two words can the word 'lamp grass' be, of course - the lamp of the electric lamp, the grass of the grass!"

Lin Xiao's heart sank half of a sudden, and he asked again: "Then may I ask if there are other Dengcao alleys in this city?"

"The large and small alleys in the Forbidden City are concentrated in the old city, except for this 'Dengcao Hutong', I really haven't heard of any other 'Dengcao Hutong'. The cleaner's tone gradually became impatient, "Besides, such an unlucky place, even if there was a name for it, it should be another name now!"

Lin Xiao couldn't help but gasp, and said in disbelief: "How can this be?!"

Changfeng said in a loud voice, "Do you think that old man seems to be lying?" Although the current sect master of the Sword Sect's Ethereal City is Ye Wuxin, Changfeng still regards Lin Xiao as one of his masters, and he also uses honorific titles when addressing him.

Lin Xiao frowned and said, "That old man has no need to lie to us at all, and it won't do him any good to tell us lies." Since he said so, it must be true. ”

Changfeng said, "Could it be that Sect Master Ye heard it wrong?"

"Either Teacher Xiao Ye misheard, or ......" Lin Xiao pondered for a moment and said slowly: "...... The person who died here back then is the 'Bai Xiaosheng' we are looking for!"
