The night is miserable, the temple entrance, the stone bridge.

Walking across the stone bridge, there is an apricot forest in front of you, and the apricot forest is filled with a faint smoke, and you can't tell whether it's smoke or fog.

Xia Qianxue gritted her teeth and walked onto the stone bridge.

She didn't know why she had come here by the gods, maybe because she wanted to prove to the bastard that she wasn't the one who was afraid of things, or maybe it was because she couldn't let the honest monk have an accident until she had revenge.

Standing under the apricot grove was Ren Wuxian, who took out a pinch of tobacco from his cigarette pouch, put it in his pipe, stuffed it tightly, and then struck a match and lit it.

His movements are unhurried, as if everything is under control.

As soon as Xia Qianxue walked into the apricot forest, she had already seen him.

Ren Wuxian slowly exhaled a puff of cigarette and smiled slightly: "You're here?"

Xia Qianxue bit her lower lip tightly, forcibly endured the uneasiness in her heart, and said, "You don't seem surprised. ”

"Because whoever comes, they can't leave. ”

"You're overconfident. ”

Ren Wuxian took another puff of cigarette before he said lightly: "In the past ten years, there have been six cliff falls in Yashang Village, and only one was an accident. ”

Although Xia Qianxue had already heard the honest monk say it, she still felt a chill in her hands and feet when the other party admitted it so blatantly.

"Aren't you afraid of being punished by the law?"

Ren Wuxian smiled: "You have the courage to come to Yashang Village, I thought you were an experienced veteran." It's just that I didn't expect you to say such childish words, it's funny. ”

"You're going to kill me too?"

Ren Wushu took out a string of Buddhist beads from his pocket and said, "As long as you tell me why you put this string of Buddhist beads in the secret compartment, I will let you go." ”

"The beads are not mine. ”

Ren Wuxian's face sank, and he said, "You want to deny it now, but I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Xia Qianxue said coldly: "I don't know what you said, I'm tired and I'm going back to rest." With that, she turned and walked away.

Ren Wuxian did not chase after him, he let out a long roar, and more than a dozen figures quickly rushed out on both sides of the apricot forest, striking from both sides.

Xia Qianxue stepped up under his feet and ran towards the stone bridge.

"This road is not passable, the jade-faced divine sword Gongsun Bai is here!" The old man with a folding fan and a group of people rushed across the stone bridge and blocked her way.

Xia Qianxue's feet slowed down, and a pair of cold hands had choked her throat from behind.

She wanted to scream, but her throat couldn't make a sound.

That suffocation gave her her first smell of death.

"Seventh sister, let her go. Ren Wuxian paced square steps and walked over.

The stiff muscles in Xia Qianxue's throat suddenly relaxed, and she immediately screamed with all her strength.

When she screamed hoarsely, Ren Wuxian smiled sadly: "You can scream, even if you scream and cut your throat, no one will come to save you." ”

"Who said no one would come to her rescue. ”

It's an honest monk!

And sure enough, he came!

Xia Qianxue was so happy that she almost couldn't help jumping.

But immediately, this joy disappeared.

The honest monk did not come alone, he also supported a sick old man.

This is what the honest monk said?

He himself is not an opponent of these people, not to mention an additional burden.

"Don't move, or I'll strangle him." The honest monk said sharply.

Gongsun Bai, who was about to rush onto the stone bridge, retreated again.

Ren Wuxian looked at her with a smile and said softly: "You are so young, you can actually deceive me, and you have discovered the secret of Yashang Village, which is indeed admirable." ”

The honest monk also smiled: "You can make the people of the rivers and lakes believe that you are an elegant hermit, and you have endured here for ten years, you really deserve to be a hero." ”

"Since you discovered such an important secret, you should have escaped quickly, but you still dare to appear in front of me in a grand manner, you do have extraordinary courage. ”

"You suspected me early in the morning, and you were able to quietly set a trap for me to drill, you are really amazing. ”

The two of you and I actually admired each other.

Ren Wuxian sighed and said, "I really admire you, but you made a fatal mistake, you shouldn't have let her come alone." As he spoke, he buckled the door on Xia Qianxue's wrist.

The honest monk smiled faintly: "You can only kill the two of us, but what I have destroyed is the expectations of you people for many years. ”

Ren Wuxian hesitated, only to listen to the honest monk continue: "It's not a way for us to stalemate like this, it's better for us to gamble, as long as I lose, Xuanyuan Three Swords will tell you the location of the sword mound." ”

Ren Wuxian looked at the honest monk with burning eyes.

Xuanyuan Sanjian nodded.

"Okay, then you say how to gamble. ”

"Let us go, don't chase us for half an hour, as long as you can find us before dawn, even if we lose." If you can't find it, let us go down. ”

The honest monk left, taking Xia Qianxue and Xuanyuan Sanjian with him.

Gongsun Bai took a step forward and said, "Big brother, how can you promise him?"

Ren Wuxian didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Xuanyuan Sanjian is already a waste, and that little girl doesn't have any effort on her, if you take the two of them with you, where can you go in half an hour?"

"Waterfall. ”

"If the opponent goes down the hill at this speed, where can you catch up with them?"

"The apricot grove on the mountainside. ”

Ren Wuxian nodded and said, "Second brother, you choose a few disciples who are quick with hands and feet, and go to the apricot forest in advance to ambush." ”

"But it's not even half an hour. ”

Ren Wuxian's face turned cold, and he said, "How do I feel that I have arrived." ”

Gongsun Bai suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Yes, it has indeed been half an hour." ”

The wind blows the leaves and rustles.

The honest monk suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "The breeze is clear, the moon is bright, such a beautiful scenery, wouldn't it be a pity not to look twice." ”

Xia Qianxue frowned and said, "Let's go quickly, otherwise, we will be caught up soon." ”

The honest monk said slowly: "Let's not go out." ”

"Don't you go out?

The honest monk nodded: "Yes, we can only hide in this village." ”

"Why?"

The honest monk said in a deep voice: "With our current situation, even if we leave the village, we can't escape far. Besides, how could a cautious man like him let us go if he wasn't absolutely sure?"

Xia Qianxue lost her voice and said, "Then what should we do?"

"We had to find a place to hide and hide first. ”

Xuanyuan Sanjian showed an appreciative smile on his face and said, "The bald monk really accepted a terrific apprentice!"
