Yuan Changqing was suddenly attacked by the enemy on his abdomen and back, and he couldn't react at all, and in the midst of blood red, he saw a ball of white light just lit up, and he was swallowed up by the thick evil qi that swept over the sky.

At this moment, the heavens and the earth were silent.

In the dark night, at a glance, I saw a piece of blood light on the ink-like black water river, which was collected in a flash. Then, the river suddenly swelled with huge waves and fell again.

On the grass on both sides of the river, a lot of fish and shrimp fell, but they were all bloody fragments.

After a few moments, the river finally calmed down again.

About a mile or two away from the river, a figure suddenly rushed out of the river, staggered and fell into the willow forest beside the river, and then there was no sound.

It took a long time for there to be movement in the willow forest again. After a while, Shen Muzhi, who had already changed into a black suit, walked out of the forest and swept in the direction of Wushan City.

It didn't take long for Osan Castle to arrive.

After Shen Muzhi took a shortcut into the city, after inquiring about the location of Qiheyuan, he rushed straight over.

Kangshou Street, Qihe Garden, at this time, the garden is pitch black, and there is not even a candle flame. It was as if there was no one in the garden.

Shen Muzhi was basically sure that Yuan Changqing should not have rushed back to Wushan City at this time, but it was difficult to guarantee that there was no Yuan Changqing's backhand left in this habitat and garden.

Therefore, he squatted and secretly looked at Naqi and Garden for a while, and after not seeing any clues, he still didn't dare to be careless. After pondering for a while, I went to the street and spent some money to find a bastard, and asked him to knock on the door of Qiheyuan, and be sure to call the people inside!

The bastard was reluctant at first, but after Shen Muzhi threw out ten taels of silver, he immediately agreed.

This young bastard, who was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, grabbed the two small silver ingots of five taels from Shen Muzhi's hand, quickly stuffed them into his arms, and then turned his head and walked towards Qiheyuan.

The knock on the door soon rang out.

The young bastard's hand was not small, and the newly painted door was under his palm, and the thud trembled incessantly. The brass rings hanging from the door hit the brass nails from time to time, making a crisp clanging sound.

Time passed slowly, and in the habitat and garden, it seemed that there was really no one, and there was no movement.

The young bastard gradually lost his patience, and after a stick of incense, he couldn't hold on any longer, stopped moving, gritted his teeth, and turned around to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his feet moved, the two lanterns hanging at the door suddenly lit up.

The young bastard was startled, and immediately paused at his feet, and after looking up at the two lanterns cautiously, he hurried down the steps while scolding the real evil door. Then, he didn't go to Shen Muzhi's side, turned around and rushed to the alley on the other side.

Shen Muzhi didn't care about this, and although the little bastard didn't call the people in Qihe Garden, he turned on the two lights hanging at the door.

It seems that this habitat and garden really have some doorways in it.

It's just that if he doesn't go to explore in person, I'm afraid he won't be able to figure out whether Lin Changying is in it or not.

After thinking for a while, Shen Muzhi walked out of the shadows and walked towards Qihe Garden.

As soon as I walked up the steps, the two lanterns hanging above me were flickering by candlelight. Then the door creaked open.

Lu You, who was wearing a long robe and a hosta, stood behind the threshold with a lantern, and after his eyes fell on Shen Muzhi outside the door, a glimmer of light flashed under his eyes, and he immediately smiled and asked, "Was the son knocking on the door just now?"

Shen Muzhi glanced at him, and couldn't help but feel a slight difference in his heart.

At first glance, this person is indeed an ordinary person in all aspects, except for the slightly unusual temperament of the merry scholar. However, after taking a closer look, Shen Muzhi found that the lamp in his hand was not simple.

An ordinary scholar may be able to take a lamp that is not simple, but this place is Qihe Garden, so this scholar who holds a lamp that is not simple is basically unlikely to be an ordinary scholar.

Although Shen Muzhi wasn't sure what this scholar was relying on to hide his cultivation atmosphere, he was sure of one thing, this person should not be a master of the upper realm.

As long as he is not a master of the upper realm, even if this Qihe Garden is the tiger's den of Longtan, then he can still have a chance.

Thinking about it, Shen Muzhi simply got straight to the point and said directly: "I'm here to find Miss Lin." ”

When Lu You heard this, his face did not show any surprise, obviously he had already expected it. As soon as his feet moved, he turned sideways and stepped aside, and then said, "Please come in first!"

When Shen Muzhi heard this, he glanced down at the threshold, and then said lightly: "There is no need to go in." You and I don't know each other, forget about this visit!"

"Isn't Childe looking for Miss Lin, if you don't enter the door, how can you see Miss Lin?" Lu You asked with a smile.

Shen Muzhi looked at him silently for a while, and then said, "Then Elder Yuan shouldn't have come yet, right?"

Lu You was stunned for a moment, stared at Shen Muzhi for a while, then smiled on his face, and said, "What does it matter if Elder Yuan comes or not? Miss Lin is in the garden, and if the son wants to see him, he will enter the door." ”

"Really?" Shen Muzhi sneered, "Then what if I say that if you don't bring Miss Lin out, then you won't see the sun tomorrow Yuan Changqing?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Lu You's eyes, but he immediately calmed down again and said, "In this case, the son will go back." Tomorrow at sunrise, come to this gate to collect the body. As he spoke, he reached out and closed the door.

Shen Muzhi didn't expect that the young man in front of him was more calm and scheming than Yuan Changqing. After he said this, Shen Muzhi had no way out.

After a moment's hesitation, he moved towards the threshold, and then walked straight over it.

One foot on the ground, the world spins.

In the blink of an eye, the eyes returned to clarity.

What I saw was no longer the scene I had seen outside the door before, the flowing water shadow wall was gone, and the cornices of the cloister were gone, and only the billowing fog was left around. In the thick fog, there seemed to be something hidden, and from time to time some strange noises were disturbing.

Lu You was standing beside him, carrying the lantern in his hand. The glimmer of light from the lantern blocked out the thick fog.

"Come with me!" Lu You said lightly, and without waiting for Shen Muzhi's response, he immediately carried the lantern and walked forward along the road under his feet.

Shen Muzhi immediately followed.

Now that he has entered the door, that is, he has entered the formation, then he can only take one step at a time.

The road under your feet leads to nowhere it leads. As they went deeper, the things in the fog around them seemed to grow irritable. It didn't take long for something to rush out of the thick fog and rush towards Shen Muzhi and the others. But as soon as he left the thick fog, he slammed into a light curtain. The fog-like and fog-like thing screamed, turned around and went back into the fog.

The candlelight in the lantern in Lu You's hand flickered slightly, and he regained his calm.

Shen Muzhi estimated that the things in the fog around him should be something yin and evil. Dealing with these things, after experiencing the Moon City, although he is not very experienced, at least he will not be in a hurry. Moreover, in the talisman that Xuan Cheng left for him when he left before, there happened to be some of them who happened to be the nemesis of these evil things.

While thinking about this, he paid attention to the situation around him, especially the situation of Lu You in front of him.

After a few moments, the road ahead came to an end.

Shen Muzhi raised his eyes and saw a small courtyard. Mottled courtyard walls, dilapidated wooden doors.

Lu You carried the lantern, took a step forward, and pushed open the dilapidated wooden door, the creaking sound, sharp and piercing, in such a scene, it was quite infiltrating.

As soon as the door opened, there was only a well and a willow tree in the empty courtyard.

Lin Changying was not seen.

Lu You turned his head to look at Shen Muzhi and said, "Son, let's go in." ”

Shen Muzhi narrowed his eyes and asked him, "What about Miss Lin?"

Lu You smiled and said, "The moment the son entered the door, Miss Lin had already gone out of Qihe Garden!"

Shen Mu was stunned, and immediately understood, it seemed that although Yuan Changqing didn't know Lin Changying's identity very well, he didn't really want to offend the Great Sword Gate, so after using Lin Changying as a bait to lure him in, he immediately let Lin Changying go. In this way, even if the Great Sword Gate is investigated in the future, there is still a lot of room for maneuver.

As for killing him, will it offend the Great Sword Sect......

Thinking about it, Yu Xin left with Lin Changying before coming, but left him behind, this choice must have made Zhang Yuan feel that even if he was really a disciple of the Great Sword Sect, he would definitely not be valued.

And since Zhang Yuan and Qi Ming both wanted Yuan Changqing to kill him, they would definitely only say that he would not be taken seriously by the Great Sword Sect in front of Yuan Changqing.

After Shen Muzhi figured this out, he didn't feel like he was fooled, but he breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, he has no worries at all.

He wanted to see if this big array without Yuan Changqing could really leave him behind!

Thinking about it, he looked at Lu You and said, "I forgot to ask your name just now, I don't know what your Excellency is called?"

Lu You took the lantern, arched his hand slightly, and said, "Under Lu You." ”

Shen Muzhi returned the salute: "Lin Xuan!"

When he straightened up, Lu You looked at him and suddenly asked, "Is Elder Yuan really in your hands?"

Shen Muzhi tugged at the corners of his mouth, showed a hint of a smile, and said, "If he wasn't in my hands, how could he not come for so long?" Lu Daoyou, don't you say?"

Lu You looked at him, the expression in his eyes was a little more solemn, but the expression on his face was still quite calm. After being silent, Lu You said again: "In this case, if Lin Daoyou can break through the formation and leave with his own strength, he will not stop him! However, please also ask Lin Daoyou to agree to the next thing." ”

"Let go of the one surnamed Yuan?" he didn't need to say, Shen Muzhi could also guess it.

Lu You nodded.

Shen Muzhi sneered: "Your Excellency is really a good calculation! It's better to let me go, and I guarantee that the person surnamed Yuan will appear in front of you alive, how about it?"

Lu You shook his head, and then said calmly: "The reason why I lent this habitat and garden today is because I owe Elder Yuan a favor. As for wanting to ask Taoist friends to spare his life, it was because for the sake of the same family. If the Taoist friend insists on refusing, then it is not easy to be reluctant. After speaking, he stretched out his hand to the courtyard and said, "Fellow Daoists, please come in!"

Shen Muzhi stood there and didn't move.

Lu You smiled bitterly and said, "Please also ask Lin Daoyou to believe that if you want to break this formation, Daoyou must enter this courtyard." ”

"Perhaps, you can also snatch the lantern in your hand!" Shen Muzhi looked at him and answered.

When Lu You heard this, he smiled: "Daoist friends can also try." ”

Shen Muzhi stood there, hesitating.

Lu You's composure made him a little unsure. The main reason is that this person is too mysterious, Shen Muzhi can't even see what realm he is, and he has no bottom in his heart.
