The mountain road is quiet, and there is no one in front of or behind.

The longest acquaintance between the three people is only half a year, but they are like old friends, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere is extremely relaxed.

Shen Mu's trip is in the middle, on the left is He Xian, on the right is Xuan Cheng, the three of them are about the same height, looking from behind, the three people with slightly similar bodies are like three brothers.

Overhead, the sunlight shredded, falling on these three young and handsome faces, and the smiles were either light or hearty, all of which were gentle and joyful.

The oncoming breeze is full of spring and full of life.

Shen Muzhi was also like this in his heart at this moment.

The three of them were not in a hurry, and they did not walk fast, just like a spring tourist, walking and stopping.

An hour later, the three of them walked about half the way.

He Xian was worried that Shen Muzhi would not be able to bear it because of the previous incident, so he happened to pass by an abandoned bamboo shed, so he suggested stopping to rest and recuperate.

The three of them had just found a place to sit down in the bamboo shed, when He Xian and Xuan Cheng suddenly turned their heads at the same time to look in the direction they came.

Shen Muzhi was surprised when he saw it, and asked, "What's wrong?"

He Xian retracted his gaze and replied, "It's okay, someone is here." ”

At this time, Xuan Cheng frowned, it seemed that things were not very simple.

"How is your health?" He Xian suddenly asked Shen Muzhi.

Shen Mu was stunned, then remembered that he was in a coma before, and hurriedly replied with a smile: "I'm fine." ”

"Then let's keep going. With that, he stood up.

Seeing this, Shen Muzhi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He had just proposed to stop and rest, but now he had just sat down and was in a hurry, which was quite wrong. However, he didn't think much of it, and he also stood up.

At this time, Xuan Cheng said: "Why don't you go first, I'll wait here." ”

Shen Muzhi looked at the two suspiciously, and asked, "But what's wrong?"

Xuan Cheng glanced at him, then at He Xian, and smiled: "There's nothing wrong, you go first, I'll come soon." ”

After He Xian heard this, he didn't say much, only beckoned Shen Muzhi to leave.

Shen Muzhi looked at the two of them and knew that there must be a problem, but he also knew that if something really happened, if he stayed here, he would only drag the two of them back.

Therefore, after a little hesitation, he followed He Xian and continued to walk along the mountain road in the direction of Jinghu.

Not long after they left, several figures appeared on the mountain road to Fuzhou.

In front of him was a middle-aged man, running desperately, and from time to time he would look back, his face full of panic. The simple linen shirt on his body had a few more cuts and was stained with blood.

And behind him, followed by a black dog, with a strong body, grinning teeth, and fierce eyes. The black dog didn't seem to be in a hurry to catch up with him, but only stayed close behind him.

And not far behind the black dog, another man rode a brown horse, and he followed unhurriedly.

A short knife in his hand, with blood still hanging from the tip of the knife.

Xuan Cheng sat idly in the bamboo shed, leaning against the bamboo shed, staring at the one person, one dog and one knight who were coming straight to this side, his eyes narrowed slightly......

Soon, the man on the horse was the first to discover Xuan Cheng.

After meeting his gaze, Xuan Cheng sighed lightly.

He was a monk.

That's interesting......

Xuan Cheng suddenly regretted a little, he let He Xian go first just now, he should have let him stay here.

This is the realm of the Jin Kingdom, and the affairs of this monk are all under the control of their Great Sword Gate!

It's just that a monk, with a black dog with a hidden demonic aura, chased a ...... Xuan Cheng thought about it, carefully looked at the middle-aged man running in front of him, and frowned slightly.

This middle-aged man looks like an ordinary person, but he seems to have a rather peculiar aura on him.

The bamboo shed was on the side of the road, and when the middle-aged man ran closer, he finally found Xuan Cheng sitting in the bamboo shed, and after being stunned, he suddenly rushed towards him. While rushing over, he shouted: "Chivalry, save me!"

The man on horseback squinted his eyes slightly, and the short knife in his hand touched lightly on the saddle, making a crisp sound, and the black dog chasing after the middle-aged man suddenly stopped and bared his teeth at Xuan Cheng and roared.

Xuan Cheng didn't move, his eyes lightly swept over the man on horseback and the black dog, and then looked at the middle-aged man who had rushed outside the bamboo shed.

"Chivalry, save me!" Before the middle-aged man entered Peng, he knelt down with a bang, and his forward momentum did not stop, and his knees made two marks on the ground.

As soon as I stopped, I couldn't wait to start kowtowing, with so much force that it banged. After three or four years, blood had already begun to appear on the foreheads of middle-aged men.

Xuan Cheng frowned slightly.

The man on horseback stopped two feet away, did not continue to move forward, and stared at Xuan Cheng sitting in the bamboo shed with cold eyes and vigilantness.

The black dog stopped a foot away, lowered his body slightly, and kept roaring in his throat, full of warnings.

"Chivalry, help me!" The middle-aged man kneeling on the ground was still crying for help. On the broken forehead, blood flowed, stained with mud, and his face flowed, and his appearance became extremely miserable and terrifying.

Xuan Cheng glanced at the man on horseback again, and then suddenly asked, "Why did he kill you?"

His eyes were still on the man, but the words were for the middle-aged man kneeling in front of him.

The middle-aged man who kept kowtowing didn't seem to hear it, and kept crying and kowtowing. The man on horseback, on the other hand, frowned sharply.

Suddenly, the short knife in his hand moved, and there was another soft clang. The black dog, which was already ready to attack a foot away, kicked under his feet and attacked quickly, like a black lightning, rushing towards the bamboo shed.

Before he could get closer, the fanged dog's mouth opened and bit down on the neck of the middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground.

Xuan Cheng frowned, and the long sword behind his back quietly came out of its sheath, turning into a lake-green light and disappearing in a flash. I heard the black dog suddenly fall down, and after rolling on the ground a few times, he whined and ran away.

At this time, the middle-aged man who was kneeling seemed to calm down a little, and when he looked up, he saw that the lake green sword light flashed behind Xuan Cheng and disappeared, and his eyes suddenly widened and he was shocked.

And the man on horseback had a solemn face at this time.

"Who is Your Excellency?" In the cold voice, in addition to vigilance, there was anger and hostility.

Xuan Cheng smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Great Sword Gate, He Xian." Who is Your Excellency?"

As soon as the person on horseback heard the five words He Xian of the Great Sword Gate, his expression changed suddenly, and after a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, he stared at the middle-aged man kneeling in front of the bamboo shed with hatred, and then suddenly pulled the reins in his hand, and turned around and left.

The black dog who was stabbed by Xuan Cheng hurriedly followed. In a short time, this man and a dog had disappeared at the end of the mountain road.

Xuan Cheng then looked down at the middle-aged man who was still kneeling, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked the question just now again: "Why did he chase you?"

The middle-aged man's body trembled slightly, and after hearing the voice, his body suddenly trembled even more, like a sifting of chaff.

Seeing this, Xuan Cheng frowned.

"Multi-...... Many...... Thank you ...... Immortal...... The grace of the immortal family to save his life!" The middle-aged man trembled for a while, and then seemed to suddenly wake up, shouting hesitantly, and began to kowtow again.

Xuan Cheng got up helplessly, stretched out his hand to pull it up, and after a little light disappeared in the center of his eyebrows, the middle-aged man's body trembled, and then his mood stabilized a lot.

"Don't worry, since I saved you, I won't do anything to you. However, you have to tell me why this person was chasing you just now!" Xuan Cheng tried to make his tone as gentle as possible.

After the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, he suddenly ripped off his clothes, revealing his chest full of scars.

Xuan Cheng couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't understand why he behaved. Soon, though, he discovered the anomaly. It turned out that in the man's abdomen, there was a bulb-like protrusion, beating slightly, as if he was alive.

If you look closely, you can see the occasional flash of red light in the ball.

"For this. The middle-aged man looked down at the ball on his abdomen with a bitter face, his eyes full of sadness.

At the beginning, it was this ball that saved his life, but now, because of this ball, his family was ruined.

However, he couldn't hand over the ball if he wanted to. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about digging it out, but when he moved, he felt like he was going to die.

Xuan Cheng stared at the ball for a while, and wanted to reach out to touch it, but when he was about to touch it, he stopped, looked up and asked the middle-aged man, "Can I touch it?"

The middle-aged man nodded.

Xuan Cheng stretched out his finger, and as soon as he landed on the ball, he felt a vigorous vitality, but at the same time, there was also a demonic aura that struck, and the demonic aura was so thick that it frightened his heart.

Xuan Cheng was extremely surprised, hesitated for a moment, and then said to the middle-aged man: "It may hurt a little later, if you can't stand it, just say." ”

The middle-aged man nodded and gritted his teeth.

Xuan Cheng tried to gently probe a spiritual power into the middle-aged man's abdomen, surrounding the round ball, and carefully probing. The middle-aged man's body began to tremble again, cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his face turned pale.

However, in the clenched teeth, there was no word.

After a while, Xuan Cheng withdrew his hand, and the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been amnestied.

"How can this thing be in your body?" Xuan Cheng asked the middle-aged man after thinking about it.

When the middle-aged man heard this, his face was full of bitterness: "A few months ago, I fell into the mirror lake, and when I was about to drown, I didn't know what was going on, this thing came to my mouth, and I was almost dead at that time, and I didn't know how to swallow it." Then I came back to life and climbed ashore. At first, I didn't feel it, I just felt like I couldn't use up all my strength, but after a month, it slowly started to be wrong. First of all, I always have a fever, an inexplicable fever, and my stomach is uncomfortable, I always feel that something is running inside, and then there is such a thing bulging in my stomach. After this thing bulged, people didn't feel uncomfortable, but they just couldn't touch it, and it hurt when they touched it, and the muscles all over the body were pumped together.

I always felt that this thing was not very good, so I thought about finding a doctor to dig this thing, and tried several times, but it was unsuccessful. As soon as the knife went down, it was like piercing my heart, and the person couldn't do it all at once. I had no choice but to leave it at that. But what I didn't expect was that this thing spread out somehow, and then someone came to the door. Speaking of this, the middle-aged man suddenly paused, raised his hand to cover his face, and whimpered.

Xuan Cheng probably guessed the development of the matter, and looked at the man in front of him who was crying uncontrollably, and his heart was sad.

After waiting for a long time, the middle-aged man regained his emotions.

"Then do you still want to get this thing out now?" asked Xuancheng.

When the middle-aged man heard this, he looked up in surprise: "Does the immortal family have a way?"

Xuan Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "I can't guarantee it, but maybe you can try." But first, you'll have to go with me to meet a friend, they're just ahead. Just now, I told them to wait for me first. ”

When the middle-aged man heard that he wanted to see someone else, he immediately hesitated.

Xuan Cheng didn't mind, smiled, and said, "If you don't want to, it doesn't matter, you can leave now." ”

The middle-aged man hesitated, thought for a while, and then said with some trepidation: "Then I'll go with the immortal family." ”

"Alright, let's go. Can you still go?" asked Xuan Cheng.

"Yes!" The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly: "I can go!"

Xuan Cheng smiled at him, and led him to chase Shen Muzhi and the others.

He Xian and Shen Muzhi didn't go far, and it didn't take much effort for the four of them to meet.

Seeing Xuan Cheng coming over with a middle-aged man covered in blood and a bloody face, Shen Muzhi and He Xian were a little surprised.

"Who is this?" He Xian glanced at the middle-aged man and asked Xuan Cheng.

"Just saved. Xuan Cheng replied, as he spoke, turning his head to introduce Shen Muzhi and He Xian to the middle-aged man.

However, when he turned his head, he found that the middle-aged man was staring at Shen Muzhi intently, his brows furrowed, and the look in his eyes was constantly changing, as if he was trying to remember something.

Shen Muzhi also noticed the strange look in this person's eyes when he looked at him, carefully recognized the middle-aged man, and after confirming that he had not seen it, he hesitated for a moment and asked out loud: "This uncle, have we met?"

The middle-aged man suddenly exclaimed: "It's you!"

Shen Mu was stunned: "You know me?"

"You're not dead!" The middle-aged man stared at Shen Muzhi, frightened and incredible.

Shen Muzhi became more and more confused, he was sure that he had never seen this person.

Xuan Cheng was on the side, looking at the middle-aged man, and then at Shen Muzhi, his brows furrowed, and after thinking about it, he asked Shen Muzhi, "Have you seen him?"

Shen Muzhi frowned and shook his head. He already felt hostility in the eyes of the middle-aged man in front of him. Even if they did meet at a time he didn't remember, it wasn't a good thing.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you see it or not. I brought him here to ask you for a favor. Xuan Cheng wanted to divert the topic, so he said, and was ready to ask the middle-aged man to tear off his clothes and show He Xian and them what was on his stomach.

But the middle-aged man suddenly took a step back.

Staring at Shen Muzhi's eyes, in addition to fear, they were already full of hostility.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Cheng had just spoken, but the middle-aged man suddenly turned around and ran.

After Xuan Cheng was stunned for a moment, he pulled his legs and wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by He Xian.

He Xian shook his head at him.

Xuan Cheng sighed.

Shen Muzhi stood there, feeling confused.

He had no impression of this person in his mind.

"What's the matter with this person?" He Xian asked Xuan Cheng after looking at the middle-aged man who had fled into the mountains and forests not far away.

Xuan Cheng replied: "There is a demon pill in his body!"

"Demon Pill?" He Xian's expression changed slightly.

Xuan Cheng nodded: "It was said that a few months ago, when I fell into the Mirror Lake, I inadvertently swallowed a demon pill." Saying that, Xuan Cheng's eyes were full of children, and he smiled at He Xian and asked: "Anyway, do you Dajianmen love to throw demon pills into this mirror lake when you have nothing to do, otherwise this person can swallow a demon pill if he jumps back to the mirror lake, and this 'luck' is too good!"

When Shen Muzhi heard the words Mirror Lake, he was stunned. Later, Xuan Cheng didn't hear anything he said, and after a while, he came back to his senses, he grabbed Xuan Cheng and asked, "When did you just say that this person fell into the Mirror Lake?"

Xuan Cheng glanced at him and frowned slightly: "A few months ago, what happened?"

Shen Muzhi heard this, and in his mind, several scenes flashed one by one.

Those were a few scenes before he jumped into the lake.

Vaguely, I seemed to see a face similar to the middle-aged man just now.

But the picture is not clear, he just vaguely feels that he can't be sure.
