At noon, the sun was in the sky in Wupan City, where there was no continuous rainstorm.

The scorching sun shone on the streets on the outskirts of the city, and the farmers, who were carrying hoes and shovels or pushing carts full of dirt and gravel, frowned and sweated profusely.

"What are they doing here?" asked the woman in an orange brocade robe, looking at the busy crowd of people.

"They?" walked beside her, carrying a bamboo basket, and the little girl with two sky-high beards on her head with a distressed face, and whispered: "I was forced by those officials to dig a temple, I can't say the specifics, but I heard from the adults in the city that there may be some treasures hidden in that temple." ”

The woman in orange raised her eyebrows, as if she had captured some extremely important information, and she was looking down to think about it, but the little girl next to her reached out and tugged at the corner of her clothes, pointed not far away and said, "Sister, there is Wupan City in front." ”

The orange-clothed woman who came back to her senses looked up and saw a small city, and she nodded: "Well, thanks to you, otherwise my sister would have been lost." ”

"It's okay, I also happened to go to the mountains to collect medicine. The girl smiled, revealing the sharp tiger teeth at the corners of her mouth.

"Aren't your parents worried about going to the mountains at such a young age?" the woman asked.

"Sister, don't look at my young age, but I'm amazing, my mother has a headache and brain fever on weekdays, I went into the mountains to collect medicine for her, and they all said that there were jackals and beasts in the mountains, but I never met them. The little girl said proudly.

The woman was very keen not to ask about the little girl's father, she smiled, and said, "Yes? ”

As the two spoke, they had already walked to the gate of Wupan City.

The city gate was sparsely populated, far less lively than the dense forest path they had just passed, but a already stinky corpse hanging with hemp rope at the city gate really made the orange-clothed woman's face change.

"Is this ......" she asked, a little stunned.

The little girl's face darkened, and she whispered: "This is the Lord Lu who angered the Dragon Lord that I told my sister before, and was hung here by those military masters, this is already the fifth day, and I heard that I will be thrown into the Wupan River tonight......"

As she spoke, the little girl pulled the corner of the woman's clothes again, and said, "Sister, don't look at it more, there are military masters staring at them next to them, they are fierce." ”

When the woman in orange heard this, she looked sideways and saw that there were indeed several men in silver armor sitting next to the tea stall not far away, staring at this place for a moment. The woman withdrew her gaze and no longer looked at the corpse, but out of the corner of her eye, caught a glimpse of a thin boy in straw sandals on the inside of the city gate.

The boy's expression was a little sluggish, and he stood there motionless, like a sculpture. But his head was raised and he stared straight at the corpse hanging from the city gate.

The woman asked, "Who is he?"

The little girl pulled the corner of the woman's clothes and walked towards the city, lest she would stop for too long and cause trouble, but she still answered the woman's question: "His name is Wei Lai." People say he's a fool, but I don't think so. ”

"His father used to be the magistrate of our Wupan City, but a flood swept away his father and mother, and he became an orphan from then on. ”

"It's Lu Zhixian who took him in, sister, you see, our current Wupan City is afraid of those military masters, no one dares to look at Lu Zhixian more, only him, he comes every day, one look is a day, I think he is better than most people in Wupan City, at least he knows the Grace Map. ”

The woman glanced at the girl with an old-fashioned face, and couldn't help but be a little funny: "Then those military masters don't care about him?"

"The military masters all thought he was a fool, and after he didn't listen to him a few times, he went away, anyway, in their hearts, fools can't do anything. ”

The woman who had already walked far away looked back and took a deep look at the young man standing at the gate of the city, but the little girl's voice sounded again at that time: "It's here! ”

"Really? I'll have to taste it. The woman in orange looked back and smiled, and obediently the girl still pulled her to the bun shop in her mouth.

......

In the blink of an eye, it was already late at night, and the farmers who had been dragged to dig the temple had already returned to Wupan City in groups.

The lights of Wupan City are out, and the streets are sparsely populated. Xiang Huo, who was lying on the bench, yawned and squinted at the corpse hanging at the city gate.

"Bad luck. He muttered, complaining a little in his heart why Luo Xiangwu handed over this broken errand of looking at the corpse to him.

A wave of fatigue hit, he looked at the two armor soldiers beside him, and said, "You keep an eye on Lao Tzu, after tonight, we can throw this guy into the river tomorrow, but don't make a mistake." ”

The two armorers in silver armor nodded again and again, not daring to disobey Xiang Hui's orders.

Xiang Huo yawned again, then squinted and lay on the bench and fell asleep.

The two armorers beside him glanced at each other when they heard that Xiang Hui's breathing was gradually becoming longer and more regular, and almost at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

The two walked to the other side with great tacit understanding, looked for the wooden stool specially left for them by the owner of the tea stall, and sat down.

"You said that this Lord Luo is too, what is so nice about a corpse?" one of the armorers complained.

"Alas. The other soldier also sighed, he looked down and sniffed his clothes, a sour smell made his brows furrow, and said in his mouth: "You can see it if you say you want to see it, why do you have to find a few people to rotate with us, right?" For five days in a row, not to mention the dead man, if we continue to be exposed like this, we can hang it on the city gate just like him." ”

"You don't know, Jin Gongzi is dead, Lord Luo can't explain to the above, this temple is Lord Luo's last straw, if you can dig something out of the temple before Lord Jin comes, there will be a glimmer of life. ”

"Dig up something?"

"What else can there be, Guan Shanli is the eight holy generals of the previous dynasty, since he has appeared, the yin soul must be here, if he can obtain his divine pattern, such a treasure will be offered to make up for it, not to mention, it can be promoted to the third level, do you say that Lord Luo is not in a hurry?"

"That's right. But since that's the case, then we have to let the brothers help! What kind of corpse do you stay here to see, could it be that that little fool can still come and steal the corpse?"

The armor man complained angrily, subconsciously looked up in the direction of the city gate, and his body suddenly froze there.

The people on the side didn't notice his abnormality, and then continued: "Yes! If we can dig up a sa, and then one person will ascend to heaven, we can't say that we can also mix ......."

"It's gone. But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the voice of his companion.

He turned his head to look at the other party with some puzzlement, frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

The other party jumped up, pointed in the direction of the city gate and shouted, "I mean the body is gone!"

He spoke loudly, which not only startled his companions, but also woke up Xiang Hui, who had just fallen asleep.

The three of them looked in the direction of the city gate almost at the same time, only to see that at the black gate, a hemp rope was hanging in the air, and a figure dressed in black was hiding in the dark shadows and holding the body that had been hanging for a long time. The shout of the armorer had obviously reached the ears of the man in black, and he turned his head to look at the place, and when he faced the three Cangyu guards, the figure shuddered, and then hurriedly turned his head, hurriedly picked up the corpse, and was about to flee towards the city gate. Probably because he was too panicked, the figure almost fell to the ground when he was stepping, and he used his hands and feet to escape such an embarrassing situation.

Xiang Huo and the others were obviously not in the mood to see the joke of the man in black, and after coming back to their senses, Xiang Huo shouted: "Fierce Feather Arrow!"

The two armor soldiers beside him were also very smart, and the divine crossbow on their backs was suddenly pulled out, and the sharp arrows were wound, without waiting for Xiang Hui's command, and the two sharp arrows burst out with the sound of breaking the sky.

Boom! Boom!

Two muffled noises exploded in the direction of the city gate, where could the city gate, which was already old, withstand the power of this fierce feather arrow, and the stones piled up the city gate exploded violently, and the dust and smoke were everywhere, and it was difficult to see.

Xiang Huo walked up quickly, killed at the city gate, and when he cleared the dust but did not see the thief, his face was suddenly gloomy. The area outside the city gate is open, and it is late at night, and it is obviously not easy to find the thief. The other two armor soldiers also arrived immediately, looking at the messy city gate, they couldn't help but feel a little panicked - Luo Xiangwu was already in trouble, and his mood in the past few days was definitely not good, if he knew that Lu Guanshan's body was still stolen, then it was estimated that the evil fire in his belly would inevitably be sprinkled on their brothers.

"Lord Xiang, how is this good?" one of them asked in a panic.

Xiang Huo stared at this waste that was not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and did not say much, then lowered his head and glanced at the ground covered with stone powder, suddenly his eyes lit up, squatted down, twisted a small pinch from the powder on the ground, and put it in front of him, the two people next to him came up curiously, but saw that the gray-white powder was a little dazzling red.

"It's blood! He was shot by us. A soldier said in surprise.

Xiang Huo didn't bother to pay attention to the other party's babbling, and looked forward along the ground where Fang had just picked up the powder, only to see the small blood stains spread out little by little, pointing to a deep path outside the city gate.

Xiang Hui's eyes narrowed, and the cold light flickered in the narrow slit of his eyes.

Bang dang.

Hearing only a crisp sound, the tiger knife on his waist was unsheathed, flashing with an eerie cold glow in the night, he gritted his teeth and said sharply: "Chase me! Lao Tzu wants to see which way of bandits came to provoke me Cang Yuwei!"
