1.

"Qiwu Yu Yiju?" Lin Xiao repeated in surprise, "Could it be that when the Liaoyuan Patriarch Hua Feng built his own mansion, he imitated the pattern of the Innocent Family?"

Hongchen sneered: "Probably, after all, it's just a martial artist, where do you know what the way of architecture, of course, it is to directly continue the layout you are most familiar with, which is convenient and beautiful, and can also satisfy his hypocritical heart of remembering his master by the way." ”

Lin Xiao said thoughtfully: "So I just need to think of the most hidden place in the Qiwu Yuyi Residence, and then correspond to the layout of the Innocent Family Mansion, and find the similarities among them, and I will also find the place where Hua Feng hid with the map back then!"

Hongchen nodded: "That's right." ”

"Then now there is another question......"

"What's the problem?"

Lin Xiao turned his head to look at Hongchen, his face full of hypocritical smiles: "How the hell do I know which place in Qi Wuyu Yi is the most hidden?!"

Hongchen's face froze: "When you and Ling Ying were there to investigate the Liaoyuan Family's extermination case, didn't you look for clues inside? Didn't you find that there was any place in that house that was the most hidden?"

Thinking of the sea of corpses and blood in Qi Wuyu Yi's house, Lin Xiao felt a shudder: "You should know the scene at that time, right?"

"Of course, the whole thing is just a Shura field. ”

Lin Xiao spread his hands: "At that time, we were only looking for clues in the piles of corpses, who would care about what place in that house was most suitable for Tibetans?! Moreover, after Xi Wanli's Jile Hall killed people, all the corpses of everyone up and down the Liaoyuan family were gathered in the front yard for inventory and classification, and we judged this by the trailing blood stains on the ground, and finally locked the search range was only in the front yard, not even the backyard. ”

Hongchen asked a little unwillingly: "What about Yu Ziying? She has been staying there since she was invaded by the ghost qi and lost her mind, there must be a place where she can hide." ”

"Don't think about it, it's even more impossible. Lin Xiao let out a sigh and shook his head helplessly: "After Mrs. Hua became like that, she has been hiding in the Misty Illusion of the Locking Spirit Array, guarding the last line of defense of the formation, and the layers of obstacles there are her protection, and she doesn't need such a place to hide at all." ”

Time is pressing, roughly estimated, Yin Yangqiu should have entered the east gate of Lanzhou City, but I am afraid that he may arrive at any time. Now he has no clue at all, even if Hongchen's concentration is good, he can't help but be a little irritated at this time: "Then what should I do?" Yin Yangqiu may come back at any time to summon a large group of guards to thoroughly investigate and arrest us, we have little time left!"

Lin Xiao also bit the nail of his thumb anxiously, and muttered in his mouth: "Don't make noise! Let me think about it, what else am I missing; there must be some way, but I haven't thought of it yet...... But that doesn't mean there isn't!"

Red light flashed in Hongchen's hand, and he already held his spirit sword body in his hand. While mobilizing her whole body's true qi to vigilantly investigate the movements around her with spiritual power, she tried her best to provide Lin Xiao with ideas: "Generally, an immortal family like the Innocent Family, or the Liaoyuan Family, there will definitely be some secret room or something like that in their mansions. Can you imagine if you were the head of these two families, where would you design your secret room?"

Lin Xiao squatted down on the spot with his hands on his head, and his ten fingers kept tapping on the door of his head in turn, dismantling Hongchen's words into a thread of clues in his mind, and slowly combining them-

Burning Plain, Innocent, Mansion, Secret Room...... Yu Ziying...... Wait a minute!

"The Aoki family!" Lin Xiao raised his head suddenly.

Hongchen didn't react, and said strangely: "What does this have to do with the Aoki family?"

"As soon as you mentioned Yu Ziying, I remembered one thing - it was about the Aoki family. Lin Xiao stood up and said, "I have a bold idea now, you carry her on your back, and then come with me." As he spoke, he glanced at Tan Rui, who was lying unconscious in the corner.

Hongchen glared and said, "Why should I carry it?!"

Lin Xiao replied unceremoniously: "Of course you are responsible for the person you knocked out!" Yu Bi Mao bent down and walked out of the blind corner under the eaves of the wing, quickly walked to a few bunkers and hid his body, and ran towards the back half of the house.

Hongchen angrily pulled up Tan Rui's limp body, thought about it for a while, condensed a sword qi from his fingertips, and pointed at several acupoints on her body, such as "Divine Seal", "Xuanji", "Spirit Ruin", and "Huacani", and injected the sword qi into her body.

Now it is always an unknown variable to take Tan Rui with her, and Hongchen did this completely out of insurance. If Tan Rui didn't entangle after waking up, these sword qi would naturally dissipate after two or three days, but once she made something unfavorable to Lin Xiao, Hongchen would directly urge the sword qi in her body. Tan Rui is just a young lady who has no internal cultivation and martial arts foundation, and she will definitely not be able to withstand the urging of sword qi, and she will inevitably die on the spot to prevent future troubles.

Hongchen has been in the world for a long time with Lin Xiao, although he has long lost the violent aura he had when he first left the Xiaohan Ancient Tomb. But when she encounters this kind of juncture, her instinctive consciousness will still be stimulated, and she is still the one who is the most ruthless.

Lin Xiao probably realized this, and he couldn't do it himself, so he let Hongchen do it for him. Anyway, she is a sword spirit after all, and she usually incarnates in the form of a sword when she has nothing to do, and she is not afraid of offending others.

After doing all this, Hongchen grabbed Tan Rui's arm, threw her directly on his back, scolded secretly, turned into a red mang, followed Lin Xiao's steps, and the two walked towards the backyard together.

As soon as the two of them arrived in the backyard and hid in a hidden place, they heard a commotion from the front yard, and then they heard Yin Yangqiu's scolding voice, as well as his angry shouting: "His grandmother's dead girl, if I don't take you today, I will be the 'No. 1 Divine Arrow in the World' in vain! Everyone, all of them, go out and search the entire mansion for me, find a woman in red clothes, and then kill her!"

Lin Xiao couldn't help but smack his tongue and said, "No, it's so ruthless!" Then he turned his head to look at Hongchen who was laughing next to him, and he didn't know what she had done, and she could actually attract Yin Yangqiu's anger.

"The famous 'arrow without missing hair' in the dignified Guiyuan Villa will be angry like this by you!" Lin Xiao asked curiously. "What the hell did you just do?"

"Nothing. Hongchen wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with laughter, "Who asked him to shoot my clothes with 'Lianzhu Arrow'," he said and raised his hand to let Lin Xiao look at her sleeve, which had a small crack on it that had been rubbed open by a sharp weapon, "I was angry, so I helped him repair his eyebrows and beard!"

"Repaired...... Eyebrow...... And beard?!" Lin Xiaohu looked at Hongchen with a wicked smile on his face, "Is that all?" ”

Hongchen snorted disdainfully: "Just kidding! How complicated are the means needed to deal with a person like him?!"

Hongchen probed his head, and faintly saw that the light of the torches in the front yard was about to shine in the backyard, so he hurriedly leaned down, leaned into Lin Xiao's ear and whispered: "If you really have any ideas, I suggest you practice it quickly, and if you delay it for a while, people will find it here, and then you won't have a chance!"

"Don't worry, let me find it. Lin Xiao looked around roughly in the corner, only to see the backyard of this immaculate mansion, the cloister patio, and the rockery stone path...... The design and layout of its landscape is indeed the same as that of the Liaoyuan family's Qiwu Yuyi Residence.

"There. Lin Xiao pointed to a rockery not far away.

Hongchen probe glanced at it: "Is there something wrong with that rockery?"

"When you just talked about Yu Ziying, I naturally thought of her head sister Yu Yuntong and the Aoki family. Lin Xiao said, "When I first arrived in Qingyun Mansion in Qingyu Mountain, I returned Yu Ziying to Yu Yuntong, and she told me about the soul dementorship case that happened in the uninhabited valley outside Fuyao Town, and then ...... She took me to a secret room where the big and small puppets brought out by the disciples of the Aoki family from the Uninhabited Valley were stored. ”

Hongchen's eyes lit up: "You mean, the secret room hidden under the rockery in the middle of the lake?"

Lin Xiao nodded: "That's right." So let's take a good gamble now, just bet that the heads of these big families are all a virtue, and even the routines they come up with are the same tricks. ”

"You mean, there's a secret room hidden under that rockery?"

Lin Xiao said: "It's possible. ”

"And what if we make a mistake?"

Lin Xiao pointed to the outside of the wall: "Then let's take thirty-six plans - go for the upper plan, and come back next time." ”

Hongchen couldn't help but be ashamed: "Then you are really open-minded......"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Lin Xiao pulled his sleeve and motioned for her to follow him: "If you keep grinding, you haven't found the secret room yet, let's just wait to report to the government first." ”

2.

Hongchen dragged Tan Rui, who was still unconscious, and took a few steps forward to keep up with Lin Xiao's pace. The two ran to the edge of the rockery, Hongchen put Tan Rui behind the rockery and hid it first, and then helped Lin Xiao to find out if there was any mechanism on the rockery.

The two of them touched and pressed every bump and depression on the rockery, hoping to find the location of the mechanism, but after a long time, the rockery was still the same rockery, and there was no movement at all. And during this time, the sound from the other side of the front yard was a little closer.

Lin Xiao shook his head secretly, and couldn't help sighing: "It seems that I made a mistake...... What bad luck!"

Hongchen had already gone around to the back of the rockery and picked up Tan Rui again, and said to Lin Xiao: "It's too late, let's go quickly." ”

The two of them ran to the wall together, and were about to turn over and jump out, when they suddenly heard a piercing sound from behind them. Hongchen's eyes were quick, he reached out and put his hand on Lin Xiao's shoulder, and pushed him out, and at the same time, he also took advantage of the situation to take a step back, and the distance between the two suddenly widened.

I only heard a "click", and the stone wall of the wall cracked instantly, and a feather arrow came in the air, just inserted in the position where Lin Xiao was standing. The black iron arrows of the feathered arrows pierced through the stone walls and sank to their ends. It can be seen that the archer has a strong arm, and if this arrow is shot at a person, it will inevitably pierce the entire human body!

Lin Xiao and Hongchen were shocked and angry, and they turned their heads together, only to see that on the roof of the wing room in the backyard, Yin Yangqiu was full of smirks on his face, in a posture of bending his bow and arrows, and the layer of pig iron on the surface of the arrow was shining with cold light, aiming between the two.

Rao is current situation is so critical, when Lin Xiao saw Yin Yangqiu's face, he couldn't help but laugh out loud - at this moment, he understood what Hongchen's words meant by "repairing his eyebrows and beard".

I saw that Yin Yangqiu's eyebrows were now bare, and the beard under his chin had been neatly cut off, looking as funny as he could.

Yin Yangqiu was feeling angry, and when he heard Lin Xiao laughing at this wanton, he was even more angry. At that moment, he flicked his fingers and let go of the bowstring, and in the blink of an eye, the sound of tearing the wind rose again, coming towards Lin Xiao's head, and another arrow was shot.

"You dare!"

Hongchen let out a clear roar, and the true qi of his whole body suddenly stirred, throwing Tan Rui off his body heavily, the spirit sword body was clenched in his hand, and a red light flashed at the beginning of the sword, and the sword qi had smashed the feather arrow that was shot. Under the counterattack of the sword qi, the dark iron arrow directly reflected back along the way it came, and smashed straight on the roof tile at Yin Yangqiu's feet, breaking the tile into a ball of powder.

Yin Yangqiu's pupils shrank slightly because of horror, and he hurriedly took the arrow and took the bow again. Unexpectedly, Hongchen moved faster, and his body flickered to Tan Rui's side, and directly put the sword across her neck;

Yin Yangqiu's eyesight is very good, even in the dark, he has already recognized that the person held by Hongchen is the pearl of his master's palm, and hurriedly shouted: "Ghost girl, if you dare to hurt my young lady's cold hair, I will open a transparent hole in this kid's head!" said and pointed the arrow at Lin Xiao.

As soon as Hongchen lifted Tan Rui, who was still unconscious, he still put his sword horizontally on her vital point, and by the way, he looked down at the wound on her neck that had just been left, and then made a worried look, pretending to be worried and said, "Oh! But I seem to have hurt her, what can I do?"

Yin Yang Qiu Qi knotted: "You ......!"

Hongchen smiled coldly, and said: "The surname Yin, who you want to be a dog for, I don't care about you; we have something important to do here, not to mention what goods you treasure, even if it is a grass here, we are too lazy to move, please don't disturb us." If you want to do it, I will be happy to accompany you, this girl, you can give it a try—will your arrow kill him first, or will I give your eldest lady a hole and let her bleed first!"

Lin Xiao looked at Yin Yangqiu's distorted face, and added with a sneer: "Mr. Yin, even if you shoot him, he will still be a good man after eighteen years." But if your young lady has something that is long and short...... Do you think your master can pick up how many layers of skin you have?!"

Yin Yangqiu's face was so gloomy that it seemed to be about to drip water, and the hand holding the bow trembled slightly.

Lin Xiao and Hongchen stared at him deadly, without flinching for half a step.

The two people under the roof were in such a stalemate for a long time, Yin Yangqiu really couldn't withstand the pressure brought by the Tan family, and put down the bow and arrow in his hand under the gaze of Lin Xiao and the others, and threw the blade to his feet: "I let you go, and you also let Miss go, let's go our separate ways." ”

Lin Xiao beckoned Hongchen to put down the sword hanging on Tan Rui's neck, nodded and agreed, "Good ......"

Before the words fell, I saw a black shadow floating behind Yin Yangqiu like a ghost, and the "good" tail note had not yet been fully issued, so he hurriedly changed his voice and shouted: "Be careful behind you!"

Yin Yangqiu didn't know why, so he subconsciously turned his head, only to see a dazzling arc of light flashing in front of his eyes. The next moment, large balls of blood suddenly burst out on his hands and feet, and all the tendons and veins in his limbs had been broken. The black shadow was extremely fast, even Lin Xiao and Hongchen, who were watching the battle, couldn't see the number of her moves, and the other party had already put the knife into the sheath, and looked at Yin Yangqiu in front of him coldly with deep eyes.

Yin Yangqiu was cold all over his body at this time, and the sharp pain in his neck told him that while the other party was picking off his tendons and veins, he also cut his throat with a horizontal knife. He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to cover the bloody wound on his neck, but the tendons and veins in his hand were broken, and he couldn't lift his hand at all.

With the action of the black shadow retracting the knife into the sheath, the wound on Yin Yangqiu's neck suddenly expanded, as if it had been torn apart on the basis of the cut, and blood shot out. The body has not had time to fall, and his life is gone.

Between the rise and fall of the rabbit, the famous "arrow without a false hair" no longer exists in the world.

The dark shadow turned around, but it was a woman with a shocking appearance. Her face was delicate and delicate, and she looked like a girl of eighteen or nineteen. Even if she was wrapped in a black robe, she couldn't hide her slender and graceful figure, and even the same delicate Hongchen looked a little inferior in front of her. She inexplicably reveals a cold and luxurious temperament, which is somewhat similar to Yu Yuntong, the head of the Aoki family, but it is even colder than the latter, as if she is a piece of ice that has been melted for thousands of years, which makes people can't help but want to stay away.

Lin Xiao has lived for almost 20 years, and he has also seen a lot of beautiful women: Hongchen, Yunxiao, Yu Yuntong and Yu Ziying, the four daughters of "Qin, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting" under Aoki, and Tan Rui, the young lady of the Tan family...... But no matter who it is, compared to the woman in black in front of him, it seems slightly inferior. Even when she was killing, she was like a fallen fairy who was beyond the mortal world, and she didn't slow down for a while.

Hongchen glared at Lin Xiao, thinking that men were really visual animals, so he raised his foot and stepped on his foot hard.

Lin Xiao was in pain, and suddenly came back to his senses: "What are you doing?"

"I said you stared at her for a long time, did you see her murderous methods?"

Lin Xiao shook his head blankly and said, "I only feel that she is very fast, and I can't see anything else." ”

"It's normal that you can't see it. Lin Xiao thought that Hongchen would definitely not give up this opportunity to laugh at herself, but she didn't expect her to say, "This is the method of 'arc flash'!"

"Arc flash!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but exclaim: "Isn't that the famous stunt of the 'First Shadow Assassin of the Demon Dao' Li Yinghua?......!"

Hongchen looked vigilantly at the black-clothed woman standing next to Yin Yangqiu's corpse, and continued in a deep voice: "She should be the person of 'Dark Fragrance'!"

3.

Dark incense.

The most mysterious killer organization in the Demon Realm of Eternal Night, together with the Soul Chasing Pavilion under the Nine Hells of the Underworld, are the two deadliest assassin alliances in the world, and are known as the "Devil's Twin Blades".

The current head of Dark Fragrance is a woman, who is the number one assassin of the Demon Sect today - Li Yinghua. I heard that this person likes to study strange flowers and trees, and is good at extracting various toxins from plants to make mixed poisons, and is famous all over the world by a set of "arc scimitar method", as long as she is close to where she is, her life is already in her hands.

The woman in black was young, and she looked far from the age of the world-famous Li Yinghua. But the way she used to cut off Yin Yangqiu's limbs and muscles and cut her throat was very similar to the "arc flash" in the "arc scimitar method". Even if she is not Li Yinghua's personal disciple, she will inevitably be the inner disciple of Dark Fragrance.

Lin Xiao watched the girl in black walk to the eaves, her deep eyes staring at him tightly, making him shudder. He took a few deep breaths hard, reached out to hold Hongchen's hand, and injected true qi. Hongchen was slightly startled and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I'll do it. Lin Xiao said, "You can't have a spirit separation for too long, otherwise it will be detrimental to the soul." ”

Hongchen was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, and under the continuous stimulation of true qi in Lin Xiao's palm, it turned into a red ancient sword.

The black-clothed woman's figure flickered, and in the blink of an eye, she had already gotten off the roof, came to a short distance in front of Lin Xiao, looked at the red dust sword in his hand, and said slowly: "This sword has a spirit, it seems that it has the protection of a sword spirit, it is not easy to kill you." Her voice was extremely cold, and she felt like she was thousands of miles away.

Lin Xiaogan laughed twice: "Although Your Excellency is a woman, you are a little more ruthless than a man. I don't think those guards of the Tan family have found this place until now, so they must have all died under your knife. It's just that I didn't expect you to be able to kill Yin Yangqiu so easily. ”

"It's not a difficult task to kill an old puppet who has no courage and no strategy. The woman in black said coldly, "If you don't want to die, hand over your things as soon as possible, and I can consider letting you go." ”

"Something?" Lin Xiao untied the Qiankun bag tied around his waist, "Is this what you are talking about?"

The woman in black said: "The map fragment of the "Dark Demon Evil God Record" - if you don't want to end up in the same fate as the surnamed Yin, you can get acquainted with each other, and hand it over quickly!." ”

Lin Xiao smiled: "Girl, who is it who hasn't figured out the situation? Now that the remnant is in my hands, you want to take it away from me, this attitude is not good." ”

The woman in black said, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill people for pictures?"

"Your sword technique is derived from the true biography of the 'First Shadow Assassin of the Demon Dao' Li Yinghua, it is both fast and accurate and ruthless, and the 'arc flash' that is sent, even if it is a person with extremely high archery skills like Yin Yangqiu, with his five senses that are too ordinary people, he can't dodge your knife, it is indeed powerful. Lin Xiao clapped his hands and praised pertinently.

"But so what?" he then changed his words, "I might as well tell you that I have come down the mountain, in order to prevent myself from encountering any accidents that will cause this remnant to fall into the hands of the villains, I have already placed a 'merchant' on this Qiankun bag." ”

"And the charm?" the woman in black repeated, frowning.

Lin Xiao smiled coldly: "The flowers bloom and bloom, and they will be lost." This spell connects me to this Qiankun bag, and once I am killed by accident, this talisman will be activated, and everything in this Qiankun bag will be destroyed in an instant!"

Looking at the face of the woman in black who had become more and more cold because of her anger, Lin Xiao took a step forward, and the Ziyang True Qi naturally urged, running in the body in the order of Zhou Tian, and the spiritual power on the Red Dust Sword flowed. "Of course you can kill me, I may not even bother to resist, but if you want to take anything from me...... I'm sorry, girl, you should stay wherever it's cool, don't be delusional!"

The woman in black's face was like frost: "Even if I can't kill you, what if I break the muscles and veins on your body, let you taste the taste of life is worse than death!" After finishing speaking, she raised her hand and raised her knife, and the blade flashed with a bloodthirsty cold glow in the dark night, and with the ghostly and erratic figure of the woman in black, there was a burst of illusory knife light, which instantly enveloped several vital parts of Lin Xiao's upper three roads.

Lin Xiao's left hand was behind his back, and it looked like he was faintly twisting a sword trick, but it was actually a stamped starting hand. He danced in the red dust, and the blade of the sword conjured up several sword qi all over his body, forcing away the sword momentum of the woman in black, and at the same time, his left hand circled slightly, quietly completing the seal, and the "Heaven and Earth Net Technique" was quietly cast.

Although the black-clothed woman's sword technique is strange and unpredictable, each knife must carry the spiritual power fluctuations of true qi running. Lin Xiao held Hongchen steadily, and calculated the momentum of each of her knives through the perception transmitted from the "Heaven and Earth Net", avoiding a few false moves, Hongchen's sword light flashed, and the long knife in the hand of the woman in black made several moves, and the blades struck each other, causing sparks to splash.

The woman in black knew that Lin Xiao, as a senior disciple of the Purple Sun Divine Sect, naturally had a good strength, and this person was full of "conspiracy and tricks", and if he was not careful, he might fall into his way. The long knife slashed three times vertically and horizontally, the woman in black took a step back, let out a clear roar in her mouth, and pounced.

Lin Xiao had already figured out the way of the woman in black's knife technique, and held the red dust in his hand in front of him, just blocking the way of this move "Kunshan Jade Crush". He had already calculated the next move she might have left, and when the future move was sealed, he could take advantage of the gap between the next move to make a "fixation talisman" to restrain the other party.

Thinking of this, the swords have already struck each other.

Just as Lin Xiao was about to act according to the plan, he saw that the woman in black seemed to have pressed a certain point on the hilt of the knife. The next moment, Hongchen's sword momentum fell into the air, and Lin Xiao was shocked to see that the long knife that was originally more than three feet long had actually shrunk into a short blade that was more than a foot long.

The incident started suddenly, Lin Xiao calculated everything, who would have expected that the hand left by the other party would actually come from the weapon in her hand. The woman in black took advantage of Lin Xiao's incomplete reaction and directly crashed into his arms, and then with a flip of her wrist, the blade of the short blade fell straight into the back of Lin Xiao's heart!

In an instant, the situation was abruptly reversed......
