He Xian pressed step by step, if Liu Guan didn't want to be tough, it seemed that there was only one way to hand over Shen Muzhi.

It's not impossible to hand it over.

Liu Guan's heart was racing, that kid was dispensable to him. If it weren't for the fact that when he was stable at that time, Jin Chang mentioned that the kid had signed a contract with this phoenix bird, he might have killed him directly at that time to avoid future troubles. However, the way to terminate the contract has not yet been found, and if it is handed over like this, the existence of this contract will always be a hidden danger.

After a moment of hesitation, Liu Guan nodded towards He Xian and said, "Okay." Then I'll take you there now. With that, he turned around and called He Jinyan and handed the birdcage into He Jinyan's hands.

"Then let's go. Liu looked at He Xian and stretched out his hand to signal.

He Xian glanced at the birdcage, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and turned around to leave.

Suddenly, the little bird in the cage that had not moved suddenly swooped up, rushed everywhere, and made a sharp chirp from its mouth, which sounded very poignant.

He Xian paused, glanced at the birdcage again, and frowned slightly.

"Is there any problem?" Liu Guan stared at He Xian and asked in a slightly deep voice, "Could it be that the Great Sword Sect even has to take care of the spirit beasts domesticated by the old man?"

He Xian didn't want to tear his face with Liu Guan for the time being, this trip was the most important thing to save Shen Muzhi, although he felt that the spirit bird in the cage was a little strange, but it was not good to cause more trouble at this time, so he withdrew his gaze and said to Liu Guan, "I just think this bird is a little strange, I don't know what ancient species it is?"

"It's not an ancient species, it's just an ordinary spirit bird. Liu Guan replied lightly.

He Xian didn't ask any more.

After the two of them left the courtyard, they went straight out of the city.

Shen Muzhi was imprisoned in a mountain villa outside the city, which was the property of the second prince.

The villa is very large, including a Dongming Lake and a Wangyang Mountain.

In Dongming Lake, the flat boat is microwaved, and the lake pavilion is waisted.

On Wangyang Mountain, don't live in a small building, and you can see a shadow.

On the mountainside, there are even hot springs. More than a dozen hot spring pools, large and small, are scattered all over the place, with several ditches connecting with each other, and finally merge into a small stream, which winds all the way down the mountain path and finally flows into the lake. Everywhere I passed, I planted all kinds of precious flowers and plants. Although it is now in the depths of winter, the flowers are still blooming.

In previous years, when the year came, this hot spring mountain resort was always very lively. Some of the powerful people in the capital who are good friends with the second prince will come here for vacation and rest in private.

However, this year is somehow a little different from previous years, and now that the New Year is coming, the hot spring villa is still very deserted, except for a few people in charge of guarding and cleaning, there is no one else.

He Xian and Liu Guan quietly appeared in front of a small building on the mountainside.

Liu Guan pointed to the independent firewood room next to the small building and said, "The person you want is there." So saying, he walked to the firewood room.

He Xian thought for a moment and followed.

When I opened the door, the darkness inside was dispelled in an instant. The firewood room was empty, there was basically nothing, and Shen Muzhi was lying on the ground in embarrassment, without any movement, not knowing life or death.

When He Xian saw this scene, his brows suddenly furrowed.

Before he could speak, Liu Guan took the lead in saying, "Don't worry, he's not dead," After speaking, he took a step and came to Shen Muzhi's side, squatted down and pulled him up from the ground, and took out a vial in his right hand to go under Shen Muzhi's nose.

"What is this?" After He Xian saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to stop him.

Liu glanced at him and said, "Wake up." Don't be so nervous. ”

He Xian glanced at the jade bottle, hesitated, and said, "Can you show me?"

Liu Guan snorted and handed over the jade bottle.

After He Xian took it, he sniffed it slightly, and after confirming that there was no problem, he personally leaned under Shen Muzhi's nose and shook it.

Soon, Shen Muzhi's eyelids twitched, and he woke up faintly.

He first saw He Xian, and then Liu Guan.

It's just that after a long time in a coma, his brain fell into chaos, and although his body woke up at this moment, his consciousness didn't keep up all of a sudden.

Before he could recall the past, a voice suddenly burst into his mind, like a needle, and slammed into the depths of his mind, making him completely sober up at once.

"Your phoenix bird is in my hands. ”

Shen Muzhi immediately looked at Liu Guan, the memory before he fell unconscious, with heart-rending pain, surged back to his head, which instantly made him fall into madness, and even forgot He Xian who appeared in front of him, his face was distorted, and he wanted to pounce on Liu Guan with his teeth and claws, wanting to scream, wanting to kill him.

But as soon as he moved, one hand pinched his backbone behind him, not very hard, but it was enough to make him instantly stiff and unable to move.

"It's me. He Xian's voice sounded beside him.

The madness gradually faded, and the hand behind his back loosened slightly, allowing him to twist his head slightly and look at He Xian.

This familiar face, like a ray of sunshine, fell into his heart, which had long been swallowed by darkness, and in an instant, tears flowed down his face.

He didn't think about it at all, why He Xian appeared with Liu Guan.

It's like a lonely boat drifting in a raging storm and suddenly seeing a dock where it can dock, or like a traveler who has strayed into the desert and suddenly sees an oasis......

It is the sunshine in the desperate situation, and it is also the hope in the face of death.

At this point, it's hard to think too much.

Vulnerability and desire, have crossed the sane.

The hand behind has been quietly released.

He Xian stretched out his hand and landed on Shen Muzhi's shoulder, and said softly, "It's okay, I'm here." After speaking, he looked at Liu Guan, "I think, there shouldn't be anything more to say!"

Liu Guan raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you anxious about?" Now that he is emotionally unstable, when he stabilizes, he still has to ask what he should ask. If he does not want to, I will not stop him. If he's willing, I want you to let it go, okay?"

He Xian's brows furrowed.

Liu Guan's reaction seemed to be very sure that Shen Muzhi would not follow him. However, Shen Muzhi's reaction after waking up just now, coupled with some of the things he investigated before, proved that between Shen Muzhi and this Liu Guan, it should be this enmity. If it was a mortal enemy, how could Shen Muzhi be willing to be this disciple of Liu Guan?

Could it be that there is anything else he doesn't know?

He Xian was thinking about it, but Liu Guan had already opened his mouth to Shen Muzhi, "Let me ask you, would you like to be my disciple?"

Shen Muzhi's emotions were stirring, and when he suddenly heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and was just about to blurt out a rebuttal, when the words had reached his lips, and suddenly, he remembered the voice at the beginning in his mind, Your phoenix bird is in my hand.

The whole body froze.

He subconsciously glanced at He Xian.

"It's okay, if you don't want to, just say it. Now that I'm here, he can't do anything to you. He Xian looked at him, calmly but firmly encouraging.

Shen Muzhi didn't know if He Xian knew about Qingguo, and he didn't dare to say it at this time. Qingguo is in the hands of Liu Guan, if he accidentally offends, his Qingguo is very likely to never be seen again. He didn't dare to take any chances.

The encouragement in He Xian's eyes was like the sunshine in the winter, which made people greedy, but they didn't dare to look up.

He bowed his head and muttered "I do." ”

Liu Guan looked at He Xian proudly.

He Xian looked at Shen Muzhi thoughtfully.

"Okay, you've seen the people, you've heard the answers, let's go. Liu Guan began to drive people away.

He Xian turned his head to look at Liu Guan, and after a deep groan, he got up and walked out.

"The old man won't send it. Liu Guan looked at his back and said lightly.

He Xian was silent and quickly disappeared outside the door.

Shen Muzhi sat on the ground, his heart like ashes.

Liu Guan turned his head and looked down at Shen Muzhi, sneered, and said, "It's quite interesting." As he spoke, he suddenly flicked his long sleeves, and a white light flew out and wrapped Shen Mu, and disappeared directly into place.

He Xian returned to Jinling City again, and this time, he appeared directly in the high-rise building in the imperial city.

Jin Chang, who was meditating cross-legged, suddenly noticed that the aura around him was abnormal, and when he opened his eyes, he just saw He Xian appear in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart, and blurted out and asked, "How did you get in?"

He Xian didn't answer, and asked, "What handle did Liu Guan hold in the hands of the Shen family?"

Jin Chang was stunned again, frowned and replied, "I don't understand." ”

"Liu Guan arrested Shen Muzhi, it stands to reason that Liu Guan and Shen Muzhi should be mortal enemies. Why did Shen Muzhi agree to be Liu Guan's disciple?" He Xian didn't hide it, and asked directly.

Jin Chang pondered it for a while before he came up with the matter. Naturally, he quickly guessed the reason for this, but did he say this?

Things have developed to this point, obviously beyond his original expectations, and it is difficult to turn back.

Since He Xian already knew what was happening here, it was obviously impossible to continue to hide from the others in the door. It is only a matter of time before he is recalled and held accountable.

When the time comes, he will be punished for retreat, or abolished and imprisoned, and he will not be able to get out unless he dies.

And even if he said the truth at this time, he couldn't change the ending. He Xian won't help him hide it, and he can't hide it. The lives of more than 200 people are not trivial.

He understood this after returning from outside Anding City.

If he doesn't want this ending, then there is only one way, to help Liu Guan complete his plan, and then get what he promised from Liu Guan.

As long as he gets that thing, as soon as tomorrow passes, the overall situation is settled, he just finds a deep mountain to hide, concentrates on practicing for a period of time, and waits until he enters the upper realm, and then comes out, the world is big, where can he go?

At that time, even if it is the Great Sword Sect, for the sake of his face as a monk in the upper realm, I am afraid that he will not mention this matter again!

Of course, this premise is that he must let Liu Guan complete his plan.

It's just that He Xian looks mild-tempered, but in fact he is extremely difficult to fool. If he continues to stay in the capital, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not disturb Huang Liu Guan's affairs.

Once the yellow is stirred, according to Liu Guan's temper, he will definitely not give him that thing.

When the time comes, then he will be a bamboo basket to draw water, and he will be held accountable by the Great Sword Gate, and when the time comes, he will either go back obediently and be punished, or he will only be a lost dog!

Thinking of this, Jin Chang had a conclusion in his heart.

He looked at He Xian and asked, "What is your relationship with this Shen Muzhi, why are you so nervous?"

"Sort of a friend. He Xian thought for a moment and replied.

After hearing this, Jin Chang pondered for a while, pretended to think, and after a while, said, "I don't know the situation between Liu Guan and Shen Muzhi. One person knows for sure, though. ”

"Who?" He Xian asked immediately.

Jin Chang replied, "Xuan Cheng." A Taoist priest at the White Water Temple. When he was stable, he was always with this Shen Muzhi. If anyone can guess what method Liu Guan used to hold Shen Muzhi hostage, then he is the only one!"

"The Taoist priest of the White Water Temple?" He Xian frowned, with a look of surprise on his face, "That White Water Temple?"

Jin Chang nodded, "Yes, that white water view." ”

"Then where is this Xuancheng now?" He Xian asked again.

Jin Chang shook his head: "I don't know about this." However, as far as I can speculate, it is either in Sujiang, or it has already returned to Baishuiguan. ”
