Sioux City, on the streets.

It's almost noon, and the streets are not as congested as the morning and evening rush hours.

Sioux is not a particularly large city, but it has grown quite a bit in recent years.

A black Volkswagen Passat slowly drove out of the radio and television building, and it seemed to be very ordinary.

In the driver's seat, Ye Xiaogu yawned casually, but his eyes were a little cold.

“................................. I guess I'm going to die. ”

A thought flashed, and Ye Xiaogu's gaze became even colder.

In fact, when Ye Xiaogu saw that Sister Hong was safe and sound, he was already a little strange.

After all, when Ye Xiaogu went to the Three Knife Club in the capital, when he met Zhou Xue, he didn't say a word or two about Zhou Xue, and he was like thunder.

Thinking about the blood essence in the hundred-zhang blood pool, it is very important for people of Zhou Xue's level.

Since Zhou Xue was so angry and an organization that killed people without blinking, it was really difficult for Ye Xiaogu to think of a reason why Sister Hong would not die.

It wasn't until he was sitting in the car with Sister Hong that Ye Xiaogu vaguely thought of something, and kept joking to adjust the atmosphere.

"Is it to tell me to go to this formation............................? It won't be Zhou Xue, who is keeping Sister Hong's line?"

In his mind, Ye Xiaogu also understood that after giving his note, it was estimated that Sister Hong would not have a few days to live. It's just that right now, Ye Xiaogu himself is also very tormented, and naturally it is not his turn to care about the lives of others.

The black Passat made its way through the traffic, following the address on the note.

......................................................

Sioux City, Electronic Park.

A short and thin little old man carried a stainless steel lunch box and slowly walked into the duty booth.

Before he could sit down and eat two bites of food, someone knocked on the glass outside the sentry box.

The little old man pushed open the window unhappily and said with a frown.

"What's the matter?"

"Master, do you know that there is a master named Yan Zhang here?"

The person who spoke was a tall, thin young man, wearing a black gown and a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet. The top and bottom are the same color, and there is no decoration, just a big bald head looks a little abrupt, the appearance is not bad, not particularly outstanding, but not unsightly.

Seeing this person speak, the little old man frowned slightly, a hint of different color flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly.

"There's no such person here, you can go to the branch factory and have a look. Go 500 meters ahead and turn left, then walk 1000 meters and turn right, and then go 3000 meters ahead. ”

The words fell, but the person did not leave, but the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said with a smile.

"This factory is so big, it is only four or five kilometers away from the dormitory area, and this distance is not enough for you to run, right? ”

The corners of Ye Xiaogu's mouth raised slightly, and there was a little more determination in his eyes.

The little old man opened his mouth at the beginning, but when he saw Ye Xiaogu's gaze, he didn't need to say much.

It was past noon, and the people passing by the sentry box didn't notice much inside, but there was a little old man missing.

Closing the car door casually, the corners of Ye Xiaogu's mouth raised slightly, and he chuckled and looked at Yan Zhang, who was still a little restrained on the side, and said casually.

"Master Yan doesn't need to be so restrained, I'm here to beg you to do something, and you're making it as if you came to beg me. ”

When Yan Zhang heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly for a while, and said lightly.

"I really want to beg you to let me go back, no one has called me by my real name for many years. ”

"Is it? a hundred years?"

Ye Xiaogu responded casually, looked at the rearview mirror, and reversed and left.

Seeing Ye Xiaogu's casual and natural appearance, Yan Zhang frowned slightly and asked.

"I haven't seen you, you don't look like someone in the club. ”

When Ye Xiaogu heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said with a chuckle.

"What do you mean, can Master Yan still write down everyone's appearance?"

“.............................. You're a little less paranoid. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Yan Zhang looked out the car window and said lightly.

When Ye Xiaogu heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and he was noncommittal about this evaluation for a while, and said casually.

"It doesn't matter who I am, this time someone introduced me to you. I need you to help me catalyze the Blood Essence. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yan Zhang's eyes, which had been indifferent, finally changed a little, but the next moment he suddenly pushed the car door and wanted to jump out of the car directly.

Merely.....................................

There was a muffled sound of "bang", Ye Xiaogu didn't do anything, Yan Zhang hit the car door and didn't open it for a while.

Seeing Yan Zhang's stunned expression, Ye Xiaogu pointed to a button on the center console and said casually.

"Today's cars have the function of locking the doors, and it has been around for many years. If you really want to jump out of the car, you have to press this button first. ”

When the words fell, Yan Zhang slapped the button on the central control with a sharp slap.

"Night primrose ~ night primrose, I sing for you, night primrose, I think about you, ah...... I sing for you, I think for you. ”

Yan Zhang's stunned gaze did not see the car door open, but heard a night incense song released from the stereo.

Ye Xiaogu casually stepped on the brakes, leaned over to look at the traffic lights in the distance, and said with a chuckle.

"Master Yan, aren't you here to be funny? You're all in my car, is it okay for everyone to cooperate sincerely? And when I look at you like this, maybe you really jumped out of the car, and maybe you can ..................... alive."

"That's better than following you to do iniquity!"

didn't finish a word, but Yan Zhang said categorically.

When Ye Xiaogu heard this, the smile on his face did not disappear, but his voice was also a little lower.

"Master Yan, I'm not here to do ideological work for you today, after so many years, I can still find you. Any relatives and friends in your family have to rely on your blessings. ”

Having said this, Yan Zhang really didn't respond again.

Ye Xiaogu looked at Yan Zhang through the rearview mirror, and when he saw the cold face of the little old man, he couldn't help but smile for a while.

The things that the three swords would do were as shocking and inexplicable to Ye Xiaogu at the beginning.

It's just that after a coincidence, Ye Xiaogu also enjoyed this blessing, and naturally defected and betrayed this morality.

As the saying goes, I'd rather be responsible for the world, and don't blame the world for being responsible for me. If you die, it is enough for the poor Dao not to die.

What's more, these blood-colored essences on Ye Xiaogu's body were still left from before, and Ye Xiaogu naturally didn't feel so much pressure in his heart.

In his mind, Ye Xiaogu drove the Passat stolen from the underground garage all the way towards the Yang family's garden.

Halfway through the drive, Ye Xiaogu also remembered and asked Yan Zhang casually.

"Master Yan, do you need any preparation to catalyze the blood essence?"

When Yan Zhang heard this, he glanced at Ye Xiaogu a little strangely for a while, and said.

"You're not a member of the club. ”

Ye Xiaogu casually snorted and said lightly.

"Does it matter what, if Master Yan doesn't help me with this........................

Before he could finish his words, Ye Xiaogu suddenly saw the corners of Yan Zhang's mouth slightly raised, and Yan Zhang, who had never laughed, suddenly smiled, but it also made Ye Xiaogu frown secretly.

Really.............................

Yan Zhang glanced at the street scene outside the car window and said lightly.

"I have a son, in the hands of the Three Swordsmen, and there is nothing else to worry about. ”

Having said that, if Ye Xiaogu doesn't come up with the proof of the Three Swords Society at this moment, I'm afraid that this Yan Zhang will not necessarily give in.

It's just that at the moment, how could Ye Xiaogu have any proof of the Three Knife Meeting?

“................................. Sister Hong?"

A thought flashed, Ye Xiaogu just wanted to find Sister Hong, but suddenly thought of something, and drove straight towards Yang Jiayuanzi.

Yan Zhang saw Ye Xiaogu's silent appearance, but he frowned slightly for a while, and said lightly.

"You're not a member of the club, so you don't have to pretend. If you really want to catalyze the way to catalyze the blood essence, going to the three swords will bring my son out, otherwise I won't do anything for you even if I die. ”

Ye Xiaogu didn't seem to care about it, and drove to the Yang family's garden by himself.

.............................................................................................................................................................................................................. ..........

After noon, there was much less traffic on the streets.

Although the Yang family in Su City has a prominent reputation, there are few people around this private garden, and it is even more deserted now.

A black Passat stopped in front of the gate of Yang's house, and then a tall and thin young man, wearing a black gown, took the initiative to open the door and invited an old man in the passenger seat into Yang's house.

Yan Zhang followed Ye Xiaogu into the door of the Yang family, and the coldness and resistance on his face seemed to have faded a lot, but he was still mostly paranoid and unyielding.

Ye Xiaogu didn't say anything to persuade him, and led Yan Zhang straight into the garden.

The private garden of the Yang family is very large, and it has gone through the corridor of the covered bridge, which is tortuous and twisty, but it also seems a little cumbersome.

Ye Xiaogu walked in front, he couldn't see any expression on his face, and he didn't speak.

Yan Zhang didn't mean to take the initiative to speak, but while walking, looking at the empty garden, a trace of uneasiness and doubt flashed in his eyes.

Seeing the white walls and black tiles in the distance, Ye Xiaogu stood on the corridor and stopped for a while.

On that day, Yang Long set up a banquet and wanted to kill Zhou Yuanchang, but instead he set himself on fire, and the Yang family became like this in a blink of an eye.

In addition to Zhou Yuanchang's strength and forbearance, Ye Xiaogu has always been very curious about why the Yang family was so eager to provoke the authority of Tianmen.

Was he too bold and took the initiative to provoke? Or was he too timid and frightened by Tianmen? Now Ye Xiaogu didn't know much about the details.

It's just that the lake pavilion behind the wall in the distance should be a good place not to attract attention, and it won't hurt any flowers and trees, which is really a must-have for cultivation.

Between his thoughts, Ye Xiaogu walked towards the cave door in the distance, but Yan Zhang couldn't bear the doubts in his heart and asked.

"Where did the people from the Yang family go?"

When Ye Xiaogu heard this, his steps did not slow down, and he responded casually.

"Killed. ”

is simple and simple, but it also makes Yan Zhangru thunderous and shocked.

For Yan Zhang, the Yang family in Su City is not a particularly prominent family, but it can also be regarded as the head of Su City. Even the original Three Blades Club did not have the intention of deliberately starting.

Now this garden is still the same, but there is no sound, how can such a handiwork not shock Yan Zhang.

In his mind, it doesn't matter whether Ye Xiaogu is a member of the Three Swords Society or not, such a proof of strength can already allow Yan Zhang to make a move.

In fact, Yan Zhang was removed from the Three Swords Society, and although his family members were monitored by the Three Swords Society, it was not considered protection, let alone being locked up in the Three Swords Society.

Yan Zhang wanted to take a step towards Ye Xiaogu, and Ye Xiaogu almost pulled Yan Zhang to find Sister Hong.

It's just that when it came to turning the head of the car, Ye Xiaogu suddenly realized that even if Yan Zhang saw Sister Hong, he might not recognize it, not to mention that Sister Hong was just a small character, and there was indeed no qualification to corroborate Ye Xiaogu.

At that moment, Ye Xiaogu suddenly understood Yan Zhang's thoughts.

Yan Zhang didn't care if Ye Xiaogu was a member of the Three Swords Society, all he cared about was whether Ye Xiaogu had the qualifications to get that formation from him.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaogu was originally a little embarrassed, but the moment Yan Zhang looked at the street scene outside the window, Ye Xiaogu thought of the Yang family's garden.

Now it seems that Ye Xiaogu can still move this move.

Yan Zhang's face, although Ye Xiaogu didn't see it, but after Yan Zhang asked this, he at least followed, and Ye Xiaogu was slightly sure in his heart.

Walking through the cave door, Ye Xiaogu waited until Yan Zhang approached, then pointed to the Huxin Pavilion in the distance and spoke.

"With that as an eye, it's troublesome Master Yan. ”

"Have you figured out what you want to do?"

Yan Zhang really didn't mention the proof of the so-called Three Swords Society, he just frowned and asked rhetorically.

When Ye Xiaogu heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and between chuckles, he jumped into the lake pavilion in the distance.

Yan Zhang frowned slightly, looking at Ye Xiaogu's movements, he was really a little hesitant for a while.

It's just that the blue waves in this landscape lake are clear, and the emptiness makes Yan Zhang think of the Yang Jiayuan he saw just now.

Different from Ye Xiaogu's easy-going words, the cold and deserted garden of the Yang family is very similar to the Three Knife Society at the beginning.

The same cold-bloodedness, the same harshness, the same cutting grass and roots, extremely ruthless.

Between his thoughts, Yan Zhang had no reason to resist.

Slowly closing his eyes, Yan Zhang sighed lightly, pinched his fingers and followed the direction, many things could not be escaped after all.

Just as Yan Zhang would not have thought that there would be a time to re-cast this formation, just as Ye Xiaogu would not have thought of returning to this Lake Center Pavilion.

The layout in the pavilion in the middle of the lake is the same as before, except that there is no table and no maids playing the guzheng, everything seems to be the same.

From the lake pavilion to the surrounding area, all around is accessible.

See the mountains, see the water, see the buildings, see the people.......................

In her mind, Ye Xiaogu thought of Bao'er, she didn't seem to have been here, and she didn't know if she liked such a scenery or not.

Ye Xiaogu thought about it and looked at it, but Yan Zhang on the shore frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

The formation that attracts the blood essence will eventually be vaguely felt, and the blood essence used in the general formation is only a small number, but the feeling at the moment seems to be a little exaggerated.

"Is it a delusion?"

Yan Zhang whispered to himself, and he really couldn't believe it for a while.

Although Yan Zhang, as a formation master, should be sensitive to these things, Yan Zhang can be removed from the Three Swords Society, and his natural ability is not considered home.

Even if it weren't for Yan Zhang's unintentional intention, and this method of inducing the blood essence was only known to him, the Three Swords Society would be afraid that it would not be as simple as removing the name.

Fu Fa and Dan Dao all require a strong cultivation foundation, and relatively speaking, the formation master is actually much simpler.

Yan Zhang's cultivation is not strong, and it can even be said that he has no cultivation foundation.

But when he was young, Yan Zhang had a good temperament, and relied on rote memorization to memorize most of the formation diagrams in the world.

Although these formation diagrams are very ordinary, Yan Zhang also relied on these formation diagrams to successfully join the Three Swords Society.

Originally, Yan Zhang still wanted to get the possibility of re-cultivation as the people in the Three Swords Society preached. But after seeing the wanton killing of the Three Swords Society, Yan Zhang also secretly retreated in his heart.

At the beginning, the Three Blades Society was only hunting monsters and ghosts, but later they discovered the blood essence of these monsters after refining, and after they were obsessed with a strong resentment, someone actually proposed to use the human body to filter.

What's even more terrifying is that most of the people in the Three Swords Society saw the powerful power in the blood essence, and they all agreed with this idea.

So the inhumane experiment began, and Yan Zhang, as a formation master who repaired and refined the formation, finally couldn't help but move a little after participating in the improvement of the formation several times.

The blood-colored essence that was originally just a little demon instantly split into a huge force.

The power was so strong that even the refining formation collapsed, and the three formation masters who were guiding the formation died on the spot, and the remaining dozens of formation masters were all seriously injured.

Yan Zhang was also in that accident, and was directly shattered by the veins of the Yuan Body, losing the possibility of cultivation.

The accident that day was too sudden, and everything in the Three Swords Society was in the groping stage at that time, Yan Zhang's mistakes were also minimized, and some familiar formation masters were added to protect Yan Zhang's life.

Then, the development of the Three Swords Society became more and more rapid, and it no longer recruited disciples as casually as it did at the beginning, and everything in the Three Swords Society was also hidden.

Between thoughts, Yan Zhang shook his head slightly, barely bothered to cheer up, forcing himself to stop thinking about those old things and concentrate on arranging the formation.

That is, between Yan Zhang's thoughts, the question that Yan Zhang omitted has also become the biggest threat to this formation.

Ye Xiaogu, who was far away in the Huxin Pavilion, didn't know what Yan Zhang's formation of urging the blood-colored essence was, and he didn't know that when he first triggered the formation, he just used the blood-colored essence of a little demon to break the formation, causing great casualties.

And Yan Zhang saw that Ye Xiaogu was so casual and plain, as if he was very confident, and he didn't open his mouth more.

Although he vaguely felt that the blood essence seemed to be too vast just now, Yan Zhang had already damaged the meridians of his body, so naturally it was difficult to say that he believed his perception 100%, let alone was stunned for a while just now.

Yan Zhang took out a piece of white jade from his pocket, but his gaze was a little deeper.

"Old man, it's your turn. ”
