1.

The extra person in the secret room was the sloppy drunkard who cleaned up the "Four Heroes of Jiangnan" in the wine shop in Moon Song City a few days ago.

Ye Xin was stunned and said, "Isn't this the one who shared the table with us in the tavern?"

Lin Xiao didn't come to his senses for a while: "How could I admit my mistake, I still paid for his wine!"

"Speaking of the wine money, I have to thank you. The drunkard raised his head and poured a big sip of wine, staggered to Lin Xiao's side, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and a stream of true qi flowed from his "shoulder well", as if to test his bottom line.

This is a normal thing - if the tempter injects the true qi into another person's body, he can judge the level of the opponent's cultivation by the degree of the true qi in the other person's body. Unexpectedly, as soon as the true qi entered his body, Lin Xiao felt a sudden chill on several meridians, half of his body instantly froze, and his face became pale.

The drunkard couldn't help but be taken aback, only to feel that there was a strange cold aura in the young man's body that was colliding with the true qi he had entered, and he immediately slapped his palm on Lin Xiao's "Jade Pillow Acupoint". Lin Xiao only felt a sweetness in his throat, and spit out a mouthful of blood, but the blood on his face also recovered a little, and immediately urged the Ziyang True Qi to urge it to operate in the order of Zhou Tian, suppressing the cold poison that was causing trouble.

"Young man, ...... you" The drunkard let go of his hand, and just opened his mouth, he stopped before he finished speaking, because the ruthless blade in Ye Xin's hand had been unsheathed, and the sharp blade flashed with a terrifying cold light, resting on his neck.

Ye Xin's whole person walked with a killing chill, and his eyes stared at the drunkard coldly, if his eyes could kill, the drunkard might have been stunned by her gaze.

Lin Xiao slowly withdrew his true qi to the dantian and qi sea, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with one hand, held Ye Xin's hand holding the knife with the other, shook his head and said, "It's okay, put the knife away." ”

The drunkard smiled slightly, let Ye Xin put the knife on his neck, took another sip of wine from the wine jug, and said slowly: "Don't be nervous, girl, I just wanted to test this kid's skills, but I didn't expect him to be injured, so something went wrong." ”

As he spoke, he looked Lin Xiao up and down playfully: "I didn't expect that I would be able to see the 'puppet play' Li Jiuyin's 'cold talisman power' in my lifetime, and I didn't expect that the cold poison had been tightly wrapped around several meridians in your body like maggots attached to the bones, and if others had already died of stiffness, you kid could still live like a nobody!"

Lin Xiao saw that Ye Xin didn't have the slightest intention of putting away the knife, so he took the ruthless blade from her hand, sent it back to the sheath with his backhand, and then arched his hand towards the drunkard and said, "Don't dare to be, just find the right way." ”

"Found the right way?" the drunkard sneered twice, "Li Jiuyin was famous with his 'Cold Jade Divine Rune' back then, and the Yin Cold Poison attached to the talisman could only be solved by the 'Fire Cold Pill' that he had refined alone. Although you can suppress it now with the true qi of the Extreme Yang and slowly consume its toxicity, it is not a long-term solution after all, as long as you are lucky with the true qi, this cold poison will backlash and attack, I believe you have felt it yourself. ”

Lin Xiao only smiled slightly when he heard this, noncommittal.

The drunkard raised his hand: "That's it, it's not my own business, where do I need to worry about it." Since you've won this 'Knife Licking Blood' at the feast, take this thing away. As he spoke, he picked up a long copper box from the table behind him with his backhand and threw it to Lin Xiao and the others casually.

Ye Xin hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it, opened the copper box, and saw that there was a scroll of animal skin in it, and after feeling it carefully, he could still feel the soul power contained in the brushstrokes in the scroll;

Ye Xin put away the scroll, closed the copper box, and bowed to the drunkard: "Thank you seniors." ”

"Okay, don't be so polite with me, I'll be annoyed when I look at it. The drunkard frowned impatiently as he drank, "Now that your business is settled, now—it's my turn to settle my business!"

Lin Xiao and Ye Xin couldn't help but be stunned: "What's the matter?"

The drunkard poured the last few drops of wine in the wine jug into his mouth, suddenly raised his hand to smash the empty wine jug, and said, "Come over to Lao Tzu!" After finishing speaking, the iron rope he wrapped around his waist suddenly rose under the agitation of true qi and rolled straight towards Lin Xiao.

At the moment when the drunkard's iron rope was raised, Hongchen suddenly turned into a red light and flew out of the scabbard, accurately blocking the iron cable, wrapping it around a few times, and then nailing it directly to the ground.

This time it only happened between the rabbit and the falcon, and no one reacted, and the drunkard's face couldn't help but change slightly, and he used his internal strength, and the true qi lingered on his wrist, wanting to pull the iron rope back. Who knew that there seemed to be an endless force on the Hongchen Sword, nailing the iron rope to the ground, no matter how much force the drunkard used, he couldn't shake it in the slightest.

The five young men of the four veins took out their blades one after another, and they wanted to step forward to help. Suddenly, he saw a bright shadow flickering in front of him, Ye Xin had already launched the "Ender Illusion Mind Technique", and swept around the five of them with the sword light of the Ruthless Blade, and then stood back in place with a flicker.

The five of them looked at the gap left on the cuff of their right hand together, and couldn't help but change color.

Ye Xin raised his long knife, his tone was calm, and he said coldly: "If you want to die, just come up!

The five people, especially Nangong Qianqian and Shangguan Weiran, all changed their faces and took a step back in unison. They had already seen Ye Xin's ghostly and elusive body, and they knew that they couldn't resist her attack. Now she just broke their cuffs, if she didn't know how to get it hard, it would be her wrists that couldn't be broken!

Lin Xiao said in a deep voice: "This gentleman, why do you want to attack us?

The drunkard sneered twice, but did not answer Lin Xiao's question directly, but said: "Boy, listen up, Lao Tzu will not change his name, and he will not change his surname-Ji Yu Sui is also." ”

When Lin Xiao and Ye Xin heard this, their pupils shrank slightly, and they said in unison: "Your surname is Ji?......!"

The drunkard who called himself "Ji Yu Sui" smiled slyly: "Boy, do you remember this time?"

Lin Xiao stepped forward: "Are you a member of the 'Youxuan Ji Clan'?"

Murong Youqing on the side interjected: "This Ji Yu Sui 'Second Master Ji' is the second leader of the Youxuan clan today, and the Ji family is the force hidden behind the ghost market in the mouth of the world today, collecting rare treasures for the 'gluttonous feast', and it has a history of nearly a hundred years. ”

Lin Xiao and Ye Xin nodded suddenly, secretly thinking that this "gluttonous feast" was really the right one, but they didn't expect that the Youxuan Ji clan would not be able to escape the world for a long time, and they would actually hide behind the ghost market, secretly manipulating the underground laws of Moon Song City. If it weren't for the first place at the feast this time, it is estimated that even if you go around Qishan for dozens of times, you may not be able to find the whereabouts of the Ji family.

Lin Xiao smiled, shook his head and said, "I should have thought of it a long time ago, your 'Qishan Youxuan Ji Clan' specializes in organ arithmetic, and is in charge of the world's mausoleum affairs, so you are naturally well versed in the way of attacking tombs and breaking tombs. There are so many treasures in the world that can be found everywhere for you to search, and I think most of the things in this ghost market auction are taken out of the tombs by you people who walk the Yin Word Road!"

Baili Nancheng, who was standing behind, suddenly sighed: "After all, it is a very earthy thing, and it is clear at a glance to people who know the Daomen, and we can't hide it if we want to." ”

Ji Yusui snorted coldly and said: "Boy, our Ji family has settled in Qishan for generations, and has been in the secluded land for a long time. I've always felt that apart from the four major families of this moon song, there are definitely very few people who know our mystical lineage, and even if there are, they are all bad old men who haven't died yet. ”

"If I hadn't heard you say the name of our Ji family in the tavern of Moon Song City, I wouldn't have believed that you two young people, who are only eighteen or nineteen years old, would actually know about the existence of this 'Qishan Youxuan Ji Clan'. ”

Lin Xiao said: "Since Second Master Ji is here now, then our matter should be resolved properly." ”

Ji Yusui burped and smiled coldly: "Boy, you don't have to come with me. Although you know the name of our Ji family, I guarantee that you don't know the details of our Ji family; on the contrary, although I don't know where you came from or where you learned about the mysterious lineage, but Lao Tzu also knows with his ass that most of the things that can find our Ji family are the kind of bad things in the Yin Word Dao!"

"Listen to what Second Master Ji means. Ye Xinsen said, "Are you going to help us?"

Ji Yusui glanced at her: "There are rules in the ancestors, if you want to ask our Ji family to work for you - either take out the remuneration we want, or go to Qishan to break through the battle, and if you can find the gate of the Ji family, even if you should get off your business." But if you want to come hard now, although my second Ji is a drunkard and often can't lift up, it won't be a big problem to clean up your two unfashionable little cubs. ”

Ye Xin clenched the ruthless blade in his hand and took a step forward, but was stopped by Lin Xiao reaching out. "Then Second Master Ji, tell me first, what kind of reward do you want?"

"What you have come to seek is related to the dead. Ji Yusui said with a pair of listless eyes, "According to the rules of our family, the affairs of the dead, and the participation of the living, is to bring the 'yang' into the 'yin'." There is no room for yang energy in the netherworld, and if you want to balance this, then fill it with human life!"

Lin Xiao's eyes widened, and there was already a murderous aura in his eyes: "The reward you want is to let us kill people?!"

"Not only to kill, but to kill enough. Ji Yusui added in a weird manner, "How many people do you need to participate in the things you ask for help, then take as many lives as compensation." ”

Lin Xiao took a deep breath: What the other party meant was that as long as it was done through the Ji family, even if it was the two of them who ended up dealing with it, at least two lives would have to be taken as compensation.

Ye Xin's face was full of frost, and he said coldly: "Isn't it just two lives, I ......"

"No!" Lin Xiao said sharply, "For the sake of an illusory answer, I have to take two lives at will, what is this nonsense?!

Ye Xinsen smiled, "You are a righteous disciple, but I am not." Since you are willing to be a good person to the end, then I will do a good job of this bad person!"

"You!" Lin Xiao turned around suddenly, glared at Ye Xin angrily, and looked at her cold face, but it was like a fish in her throat, and she couldn't say a word.

Ji Yusui looked at the two of them playfully, and snorted: "I really admire the perseverance of the righteous disciples, but the law of the ancestral system cannot be violated, if you really can't kill people with that ruthless heart, then choose a day to go to Qishan to break through." ”

"Good. Lin Xiao turned around and said, "Then let's make a decision - three days later, we will see the true chapter on Qishan." ”

"Then I will await you both. Ji Yusui laughed dryly, patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder twice (this time it was not a temptation), and then walked out of this underground secret room with drunken and staggering steps, and sang loudly and left, leaving only a dashing back.

2.

Three days later, Qishan.

Today's night breeze in the mountains is not very rare, just gently blowing around, although it still adds a bleak chill to this winter day, but the breeze blowing on the cheeks, always makes people feel a little comfortable, as if all the troubles will be gently taken away by this breeze.

Ye Xin lit a bonfire, from time to time to add a little dry wood to the fire, or gently plucked it twice, she also built some stones around the fire to prevent the bonfire from being blown out by the mountain wind in the middle of the night, and also to prevent the wind from carrying away sparks and igniting the surrounding grass and trees.

While Ye Xin was tinkering with the firewood, Lin Xiaozheng came back with a cleaned rabbit, skewered it on the branches, and roasted it on the bonfire, and after a while, it overflowed with the aroma of gluttonous meat. Although the two of them did not carry oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other seasonings, Lin Xiao always had a lot of ideas, and he actually took a few bottles of nectar that Ye Xin carried with him and smeared a layer on the roast rabbit, which was even more fragrant when roasted by the fire.

Lin Xiao's dagger cut off a small piece of meat and put it in his mouth to taste the taste, he was scalded and grinned, but he finally found out that the rabbit meat had been roasted, and the rabbit meat smeared with nectar had a unique natural flavor, so fragrant that he almost swallowed it with his tongue. He ripped off a rabbit leg, handed it to Ye Xin and smiled: "It's okay, let's try it." ”

Although Ye Xin was also very hungry, the first time he took the rabbit leg was not to put it to his mouth and take a bite, but to his nose and smell the honey/juice fragrance on the rabbit meat, and then said distressedly: "Those nectar is not easy to collect, I use it to make spices, and I am reluctant to put more when I usually use it." You're good, get me all the rabbits!"

"Make the most of it. Lin Xiao responded perfunctorily, "At the moment, we must first fill our stomachs before we can deal with the problems that the Ji family is about to give us." You don't care if you are full of spices, so you might as well use it to sacrifice to the temple of the five internal organs with that little honey!"

Ye Xin gently took a small bite of rabbit meat, chewed it slowly and left the piece of meat between her lips and teeth to savor it, only to feel that the barbecue mixed with the aroma of nectar was constantly stimulating her taste buds, and her always indifferent eyes were also rare because of this deliciousness.

Lin Xiao took a bite on the other leg of the roast rabbit, admiring the changes in Ye Xin's face and eyes while eating, and tried her with a smile: "How does the nectar on your body taste and feel?"

Ye Xin glanced up at him slightly, swallowed the rabbit meat in his mouth that could no longer be broken, only to feel that his lips and teeth were fragrant, which made people feel endless, so he nodded: "It's not bad...... It's very fragrant. ”

Ye Xin's appetite was small, and she was full after eating the rabbit leg, and the rest went into Lin Xiao's stomach. But her eating movements were extremely light and slow, always biting and chewing one bite at a time, so that although she ate only one-third of Lin Xiao's, it took the same amount of time as him to finish eating.

Lin Xiao stretched out his hand to wipe away the trace of grease left at the corner of Ye Xin's mouth, and laughed out loud for some reason.

Ye Xin was confused by his smile, and asked inexplicably, "What are you laughing at?"

Lin Xiao smiled: "Nothing." I just suddenly thought - look at all the distress and hypocrisy you felt before you ate it, and in the end it didn't taste better than anyone else!"

Ye Xin was shortened, and his face couldn't help but sink, and he quickly stretched out his hand to catch Lin Xiao's hand that had not yet retracted, grabbed his fingers and broke them hard, and said coldly: "What did you say?!"

Lin Xiao only felt a sharp pain in his fingers, as if he was about to be broken, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Sister, sister, sister, I was wrong, let go...... Let go of me, it's going to be broken!" Ye Xin snorted coldly, let go of his hand and let it go gently, Lin Xiao withdrew his hand as if he had been amnestied, rubbing a few fingers that were slightly red and swollen, and inhaled cold air in pain.

"I'll just joke casually, you are a little ruthless. ”

"You still say!" Ye Xin glared.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Lin Xiao hurriedly waved his hand, the girl in front of him was different from Hongchen, he could do whatever he wanted about Hongchen, Hongchen didn't care about it anyway, and he was very measured in his actions. But Ye Xin ...... Lin Xiao was really afraid that if he said something wrong, this girl from the "dark fragrance" might draw out the ruthless blade and slash at her head at any time.

Lin Xiao took a branch and shook the bonfire in front of him, let it burn a little hotter, and said, "It's getting late, I'll keep vigil tonight, you can sleep well." ”

Ye Xin listened but still sat motionless by the fire, staring at him with straight eyes.

Lin Xiao was looked at by her like a man's back, and said with a dry laugh: "I just said it so casually, you can't afford to sacrifice a night's time to stare at me." ”

Ye Xin snorted coldly, and said indifferently: "You really think I have that idle time?!I just want to ask you-obviously we can find Ji Yusui without using Qishan to break into the formation, and they asked us what we want to know, why didn't you let me do it?"

Lin Xiao was silent for a moment and said, "I don't want to kill anyone." ”

"Do you not want to or don't dare?" Ye Xin pressed step by step.

Lin Xiao sighed and admitted, "I don't want to or dare. ”

"You haven't answered my question yet - why are you stopping me?"

Lin Xiao raised his head and looked directly at her eyes without warmth: "Because I don't want to see you careless of human life." ”

"But I'm a member of the Demon Cult. Ye Xin said coldly, "I'm not afraid of killing, and I'm not afraid of what the consequences of killing people will bring me." ”

Lin Xiao said in a deep voice: "Although you are a member of the Demon Sect, your heart is not the heart of the Demon Sect. Do you feel good about watching a life pass by quietly in your hands?"

This time it was Ye Xin's turn to speak, and after a while, she said slowly: "I don't feel it for a long time." ”

Both of them fell silent together, except for the gusts of night breeze blowing through the mountains and forests, as if everything else was still, remaining eternal in the silence of the two of them.

"After this matter is over, you can come to the Purple Sun Divine Sect with me. Lin Xiao was the first to break the silence.

Ye Xin suddenly laughed: "What are you...... Are you plotting against me?"

"It's not a rebellion. Lin Xiao said in his mouth, but his eyes kept looking at the jumping flame and didn't look at her, "It's all up to you, I just think that you shouldn't continue to stay in the Demon Sect and let those bloods for no reason drown you in the rest of your life." ”

Ye Xin didn't answer again, she stood up, walked to a tree next to her, sat cross-legged against the tree, and closed her eyes - as if she was really ready to rest.

Lin Xiao sighed, knowing that there was nothing to talk about.

"Lin Xiao. After a long while, Ye Xin suddenly shouted.

Lin Xiao didn't turn around, just let out a soft "um".

"If one day, you find out that I have been cheating on you all along, will you kill me?" Ye Xin asked lightly, the tone was as if she was just asking a question as ordinary as "Did you eat today", she didn't even open her eyes.

Lin Xiao smiled slightly, and replied to her in an indifferent tone: "Then I must keep my eyes open and look at you to see how you deceived me!"

After a long time, Ye Xin's answer did not come from behind him, but there was a sound of even and subtle breathing. Lin Xiao put down the branch in his hand and looked back, and saw that Ye Xin had maintained that upright sitting posture and fell asleep.

Lin Xiao got up and tiptoed to her side, for fear of waking her up. He helped Ye Xin to let her lie down gently, covered her with the big piece on his body, looked at her face was still that cold in his sleep, and thought that this girl really didn't forget to hold the shelf when she went to sleep, and couldn't help but smile slightly, then got up and went back to the bonfire to continue to watch his night.

Ye Xin opened his eyes slightly, looking at Lin Xiao's back by the bonfire, the expression on his face suddenly began to become obscure.

"It seems...... You're still a little hard at it!"
