Bai Xiu got off the boat, and the beard also walked down.

An old man with gray hair on the shore had already been waiting there, and when he saw Bai Xiuwu distracted, the two walked aside and whispered.

After a while, the bearded man came over and smiled at Bai Xiu: "Mr. Bai, this is the old housekeeper of Huishan Villa, you go to live with him for a few days first." ”

Bai Xiu naturally thanked him, and the beard left directly.

Bai Xiu didn't ask him where he and Zheng Ruyi were going, nor did he ask if they would come back, because he already had his own plans, and what if he asked.

Seeing that the yacht was getting farther and farther, the old man smiled and said, "Mr. Bai, let's go too." ”

"Just call me Bai Xiu. Bai Xiu asked, "What do you call the old gentleman?"

The old man was very friendly, and smiled kindly: "Okay, the old man's surname is Xiang, you can call me Uncle Xiang." ”

Bai Xiu nodded, and got into a car next to him with him.

The driver was a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, and the two of them chatted in dialect all the way, judging by his affectionate and respectful attitude towards the old man, he was probably the grandson of the old man.

The young man drove out of the dock and headed north, and at last went straight out of the city, stopping in front of a town.

Of course, it's not accurate to call it a town, it's a villa area.

Large or small, antique or fashionable, hundreds of small buildings are dotted at the foot of a clear mountain, on the mountainside.

A carved glazed wall stretches infinitely towards both ends of the entrance sentry box, shining in the sun, embracing many villas into the arms, which is truly spectacular.

As soon as he entered the community, the driver drove straight to the highest place.

Only then did Bai Xiu notice that in the depths of the emerald faint blur, there seemed to be some buildings hidden.

Finally, its true face gradually appeared in front of Bai Xiu's eyes, which was actually a beautiful antique garden.

Of course, if it is just a garden, it is not worth Bai Xiu's surprise.

Its most striking thing was the clouds that shrouded the entire garden, almost making him think that he had come to some kind of fairyland.

Yes, there are no other trees and flowers in this garden, only the endless pink plum blossoms that are blooming vigorously.

Pink plum blossoms are rare to see, and what is even more strange is that it is now almost autumn, but this plum blossom is blooming so vigorously, it is indeed a strange sight.

Or seeing the surprise in his expression, Xiang Bo smiled and said: "The little lady likes this scarlet plum flower, and the young lady specially asked someone to transplant some from elsewhere, and if it fails, she will transport another batch from there, so it has been blooming so well." ”

"That's right. He suddenly remembered something, and said apologetically, "Little Miss is going to come over in the afternoon, she doesn't like outsiders to come in, Mr. Bai, I wronged you to live in my Youyun Garden temporarily." ”

Bai Xiu smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's me who bothered you." ”

The young man sent them to the side gate and went to park, and Xiang Bo led Bai Xiu into a small courtyard.

It is also full of crimson plum flowers, and when a breeze blows, the pink petals flutter down like a shower of rain.

Passing through this courtyard, it is the Youyun Garden that Xiang Bo said.

The interior was simply furnished, with a row of houses in front, left, and right, and Xiang Bo first led him to the living room to sit.

As soon as they entered the door, a little girl ran out of the room.

When she saw Bai Xiu, she didn't recognize her, and looked at him with a pair of big eyes.

"This is my family's maid, called Yunsheng. Xiang Bo smiled, "Come, Yunsheng, this is your Uncle Bai, call someone quickly." ”

"Why Uncle Bai, not Brother Bai, I'm not young?"

Xiang Yunsheng looked at Bai Xiu, suddenly chuckled, and when he saw that Bai Xiu had also looked over, he hurriedly hid behind Xiang Bo.

The two adults looked at each other and smiled, and Xiang Bo sighed: "Her father and mother are woody, why did they give birth to such a clever ghost!"

Bai Xiu came over empty-handed, already a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he took off a new bracelet on his hand and handed it to her.

This bracelet was a thank you gift from Jiangling before they went to the Dragon Shadow, saying that it was obtained from the Taiqing Guanzhi Guangchen, and the bracelet was wrapped in a charm that had opened the light, which could ward off evil spirits.

It would have been fitting for him to give it to the child.

Xiang Bo saw that it was extraordinary, and was about to refuse, but Xiang Yunsheng took it without thinking about it.

She held it in the palm of her hand and called crisply, "Thank you, Brother Bai." ”

"This kid ......," Xiang Bo sighed repeatedly.

Bai Xiu said with a smile: "I came in a hurry, and I didn't prepare any gifts, so let this talisman bracelet bless Yunsheng to grow up healthy and healthy." ”

As he spoke, the young man walked in.

Xiang Bo smiled and said: "Yuesheng, take the guests to the guest room to rest, than to talk to an old man like me, there are always more words between you young people." ”

Bai Xiu went to the wing room with the young man again, and when the other party said goodbye, he looked at the room.

The interior decoration is simple, and the bedding, tables and chairs are all available, which is very neat and comfortable.

There was a small stove on the small table in front of the bed, and the light smoke wafted up, and soon dissipated.

At the same time, a faint scent drilled in.

Bai Xiu sniffed it lightly, but found that this fragrance was extremely unique, like sandalwood and flowers, but it smelled very good.

However, Bai Xiu thought of another point, and said clearly: "It turns out that they already knew that I was coming here. ”

After a sleepless night, he was so tired that he didn't bother to eat breakfast, so he washed up and rested.

But when people are too tired, they can't sleep, and after tossing and turning for a long time, he falls asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, a crisp wooden fish sound suddenly exploded in his ears, and Bai Xiu instantly woke up.

He rolled over and got up, subconsciously touching the Demon Blade, but the next second he was stunned in place, what room was there in front of him, he was lying under a tall crimson plum tree.

"Am I dreaming again?"

The clear sound of the wooden fish came from not far away, Bai Xiu's heart moved, stood up and walked over slowly.

Skirting a plum grove, a temple came into view.

"There is still a temple in this Huishan Annex?"

Bai Xiu was a little skeptical that he was really in reality, and was about to go over to check, but he heard the sound of the wooden fish stop abruptly, and then a burst of whispers came from the treasure hall.

"This year is the tenth year of your absence, and I have recited this verse ten times a day, hoping that you will be safe and prosperous in the other world, and that you will not be as bitter as you are here. ”

The young woman's voice paused, as if speaking to the people around her, "How's the news going?"

A deep male voice sounded: "Although that person came back this time, it was not without gain, and it seems that he has the key evidence to bring him down." ”

The woman sneered, "It's no better, I've been waiting for this day for a long time." ”

The male voice seemed to hesitate a little, and said, "But that one also has to be guarded against, his ambition is not small." ”

"Indecision, not the climate. The woman sneered, "If he can really kill Bai Xiu and get the fragment of the Robbery Ding, I will look at him differently." ”

Hearing this, Bai Xiu finally understood, the one they were talking about was Jiangling, and the other one was ...... Fang Chunjun?!

Who is this woman?

Her grudge against Fang Chunjun was so deep.

No, or no, isn't he dreaming?

Wait a minute, Bai Xiu suddenly realized something, could it be the same as the situation on Hongyuan Island, his soul left his body on its own?

So, what he saw was really happening at this moment?

But......

Bai Xiu Music sensed the problem, the reason why his soul left his body before was because he was seriously injured, so why did he still have such a situation now?

"There's something wrong with that cigarette. Bai Xiu suddenly muttered to himself in his heart.

But new suspicions followed, Xiang Bo wanted to harm him was his own idea, or was it at Zheng Ruyi's behest?

If it is the former, does that mean that Zheng Ruyi is also in danger?

Bai Xiu's heart sank suddenly, but now he couldn't help messing around, he wanted to know what the people behind the curtain were trying to make his soul out of his body.

The chatter between the two men gradually became quieter, and then the sound of footsteps came from far and near.

Bai Xiu hurriedly hid in the dark, and soon the two of them appeared in his field of vision.

The woman looked like she was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, tall, with a melon seed face, willow eyebrows like the moon, phoenix eyes like water, a smile and a smile, and a variety of styles.

Bai Xiu felt that her appearance was inexplicably familiar, and immediately reacted, she was so similar to Jiang Ling, could it be that she was also a member of the Jiang family?

Thinking of her age, a name came to mind, presumably she was Jiangling's cousin Jiang Yin.

The other man was not tall, but a cloak was draped from head to foot, and he became more and more mysterious, so that Bai Xiu couldn't see his appearance at all.

As soon as they walked into the courtyard, the two stopped again.

Jiang Yin looked up at the plant Yanran, as if she remembered someone, and muttered, "Why does she like to see the snow so much, isn't this plum flower more beautiful?"

The man was silent for a while and said, "Why does Miss Jiang hate winter so much, and let this spring flower bloom all year round in the Huishan Courtyard?"

Jiang Yi smiled lightly, but her expression was extremely lonely: "Because it took away my important person, she died in a winter." ”

The man sighed: "Miss Jiang, those who become big things are not informal, the more worries they have, the more worries they have, and they can only afford to let go." ”

"Hmph. Jiang Yi sneered and said, "Don't think that he asked you to come, I have to listen to you, it's not your turn to take care of my affairs." ”

She turned to leave, and the man chuckled and slowly followed.

There are more and more doubts in Bai Xiu's heart, not to mention the others for the time being, he doesn't understand, why does someone want him to hear Jiang Yin's conversation with them, could it be that there are other deep meanings in these simple words?

While they were pondering, Bai Xiu had already followed them out of the courtyard.

I don't know how long they walked, but the two suddenly disappeared, and there was still a pink color in front of them, stretching endlessly.

Bai Xiu came back to his senses, and then realized that he had not only lost it, but also lost his way.

After walking for a while, the scene in front of him did not change in the slightest, and the scarlet cloud plum flower forest was like a natural maze, trapping him here.

In the end, he looked left and right, and then rolled over and climbed the courtyard wall—he wanted to try his luck and see if he could find his way back.

"La-la-la-"

The softly humming nursery rhyme suddenly sounded at his feet, and Bai Xiu instinctively looked down and saw a person squatting under the wall.

"La-la-la-"

The strange singing voice sounded again, and the man raised his head and smiled at him, his eyes rolled up, and his big eyes were full of whites.

However, Bai Xiuxin was more shocked than frightened, and hurriedly jumped off the courtyard wall, hugged her, and called in a deep voice: "Yunsheng, wake up!"

That's right, the person who is hiding in the depths of the Scarlet Cloud Plum Forest and singing is Xiang Bo's little granddaughter Xiang Yunsheng, and she seems to have fallen into some evil spirit.

Sure enough, as soon as Bai Xiu hugged her, she struggled desperately, as if she was a little afraid of him.

Bai Xiu knew that what she was afraid of was not herself, but the Demon Breaking Blade......

Bai Xiu was stunned for a moment, yes, he was leaving his soul, how could there be any Demon Breaking Blade around him, so ...... What was she afraid of?

At this moment, Bai Xiu's figure stiffened suddenly.

In the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a dark shadow.
