After waiting all night, until dawn the next day, Xie Xun and Zhou Zhiruo still did not come back. Zhang Wuji became even more worried, and used some of the earlier indiscriminately, so he discussed with Zhao Min, where did the two of them go?

Zhao Min frowned and said, "This is also strange, we might as well catch up with Shi Huolong and the others and try to find out." ”

Zhang Wuji nodded: "That's all." ”

At that moment, the two settled the store account and went out of the room, and explained to the shopkeeper, if Xie Xun and Zhou Zhiruo came back, please wait for them in the store.

The shopkeeper brought over two chestnut horses, Zhang Wuji saw that the two horses had smooth coats, high legs and strong bodies, and they were extremely valuable horses, so he couldn't help but cheer, thinking that she brought them when she led the tracking of the beggar gang, and went out to buy clothes yesterday, and went to bring them by the way. Zhao Min smiled slightly, turned over on horseback, and rode out of the town side by side, galloping south. Others saw that the two horses were like dragons, and immediately the men and women were dressed luxuriously and looked handsome, and they thought they were young couples from the official eunuchs and rode out.

The two of them galloped for a day, and on this day they traveled more than 200 miles, staying for one night on the way, and then hurried again the next morning. At noon, the wind blew from behind, and the sky was gloomy, and the gray clouds seemed to be pressed overhead, and they galloped for more than twenty miles, and the goose-feathered snowflakes floated down in large swaths.

Along the way, Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min rarely talked, and seeing that the snow was falling heavier and heavier, he still walked forward without saying a word. On this day, the road was full of desolate mountain paths, and in the evening, the snow was nearly a foot deep, and the two horses, although they were mighty horses, could not support themselves. When he saw that it was getting darker and darker, he stood on top of the saddle and looked around, but there was no one in the house, and he hesitated.

Zhang Wuji said: "Miss Zhao, what do you think? If you hurry up again, I'm afraid that these two animals won't be able to stand it." ”

Zhao Min sneered: "You only know that the livestock can't stand it, but you don't care about the life and death of people." ”

Zhang Wuji felt apologetic and thought to himself: "I didn't know that I was tired and cold, because I was anxious to save people, but I didn't take care of her." ”

After walking for a while, suddenly I heard a sudden sound, and a roe deer came out of the left side of the road and ran into the mountain. Zhang Wuji said: "I'll catch it and make dinner." ”

He jumped out of the saddle and followed the footprints left by the roe deer in the snow. Turning a hillside, in the twilight haze, he saw the roe deer burrowing into a cave, and he chased after it like an arrow, and before the deer could enter the hole, he had already grabbed the back of its neck. The roe deer turned back and bit his wrist, and with a snap of his five fingers, he had already broken the roe deer's neck bone.

Seeing that although the cave was not wide, it could barely accommodate the two of them, he immediately carried the roe deer, returned to Zhao Min's side, and said, "There is a cave over there, let's talk about it for the time being, what do you say?"

Zhao Min nodded, his face suddenly turned red, turned his head, and walked on his horse with the reins. Zhang Wuji led the two horses to the slope under the two big pine trees to hide from the snow, found some dead branches, and lit a fire at the entrance of the cave, the cave was quite dry, and there was no trace of animal dung, looking inside, the black and swarthy was gone, so he peeled the roe deer, scrubbed the dry bed with snow, and roasted it on the fire. Zhao Min took off his mink fur and spread it in the cave underground, the fire was blazing, and the cave was as warm as spring.

As soon as Zhang Wuji turned around, he saw that the firelight was bright and dark, reflecting Zhao Min's pretty face doubly bright, and the two looked at each other and grinned, and the fatigue, hunger and cold of the day turned into a smile. After the roe deer was cooked, the two of them each tore one of their hind legs and ate it.

Zhang Wuji added some dry wood to the fire, leaned on the cave wall, and said, "Slept?"

Zhao Min smiled, leaned against the stone wall on the other side, and closed her eyes. Zhang Wuji smelled the faint fragrance on her body in his nose, and saw that her cheeks were flushed, and he really wanted to lean over his mouth to kiss her, but then restrained his thoughts and closed his eyes and fell asleep. Sleeping until midnight, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves faintly in the distance, Zhang Wuji was startled, and listened to it, a total of four horses came from south to north, and saw that the heavy snow outside the cave had been falling non-stop.

Zhang Wuji thought to himself: "It snows heavily in the middle of the night, and you must be in a hurry in the cold, there must be a twelve-minute emergency." ”

The sound of hooves came to a close place, suddenly stopped, and after a while, the sound of hooves gradually approached, and it was actually walking towards this cave, Zhang Wuji said: "This cave is remote behind the mountain, if it weren't for the roe deer to guide the way, I would never find it, how could someone follow it?"

Then he realized: "Yes, we left footprints in the snow, and although it snowed heavily in the middle of the night, we still couldn't cover them all. ”

At this time, Zhao Min also woke up and said in a low voice: "Whoever comes or is an enemy, let's avoid it for the time being, and see who it is." ”

As he spoke, he dug up the snow outside the cave and extinguished the fire. At this time, the sound of horses' hooves had stopped, but the four of them came by stepping on the snow, and they had reached more than ten feet outside the cave in an instant. Zhang Wuji said in a low voice: "These four people are so fast. ”

If you go out to hide, you have to find out to the four people, and when there is nowhere to go, Zhao Min took his palm and walked to the cave. The cave became narrower and narrower as it went, but it was so deep that when he had gone more than a foot in, he turned a corner, and suddenly heard a man outside the cave say, "There is a cave here." ”

Zhang Wuji was familiar with this, as if it was the fourth senior brother Zhang Songxi, and when he was surprised, he heard another person say: "The horseshoe prints and footprints came to this cave." "But it's Yin Li Pavilion.

Zhang Wuji was about to say hello, but Zhao Min stretched out his hand, pressed his mouth, and whispered in his ear: "You are here with me, I am so embarrassed to meet them." ”

Zhang Wuji thought about it for a while, although he and Zhao Min were above board, but a pair of young men and women slept in the same cave and showed them to the senior brothers, how could they believe that they had nothing to do with it? Not to mention that Zhao Min was the county lord of the Yuan Dynasty, and it was extremely inconvenient for the enemy to meet each other at this time, so he thought: "I still wait for the fourth senior brother and the sixth senior brother to come out of the cave, and then rush to see them alone, so as not to be embarrassed." ”

I only heard Yu Lianzhou's voice say: "Hey, there are traces of burning pine wood here, and there are blood stains on the fur of the roe deer." ”

Another person said, "I have always been uncertain, but I hope that the seventh brother is safe and sound." "That was Song Yuanqiao's voice.

Zhang Wuji heard that the four senior brothers of Song Yu and Zhang Yin went out together and came to find Mosheng Valley, and listened to the meaning of their words, it seemed that the seventh senior brother had encountered a strong enemy, and he was also a little worried in his heart. I only heard Zhang Songxi smile and said: "Senior brother loves the seventh brother, and he is still the little junior brother who did not do anything more than he did back then, in fact, in recent years, Mo Qixia has been famous, and it is no longer what it used to be, even if he encounters a strong enemy, the seventh brother alone will be able to deal with it." ”

Yin Liting said: "I'm not worried about the seventh brother, I'm just worried that this guy Wuji doesn't know where he is." He is now the leader of the Ming Sect, and many people want to calculate him. He is too loyal to know that the turmoil on the rivers and lakes is sinister, and he is afraid of falling into the tricks of traitors. ”

Zhang Wuji was so moved, and secretly thought that all the senior brothers treated me with great kindness and always remembered me. Zhao Min put his mouth into his ear and whispered, "I am a traitor, and you have fallen into my technique at this moment, do you know?"

I only heard Song Yuanqiao say: "The seventh brother went to the North Road to look for Wuji, and it seems that he has found some clues, but the eight words he hurriedly left in the Tianjin inn are incomprehensible." ”

Zhang Songxi said: "The portal has changed, and it needs to be cleaned up urgently. Under our Wudang sect, will there be any scum? Could it be that he is ...... unscrupulous?"

At this point, he stopped talking, and there seemed to be deep worry in his voice. Yin Liting said: "Wuji will never do anything to corrupt the portal, that is what I can trust." ”

Zhang Songxi said: "I'm afraid that Zhao Min, the demon girl, is too treacherous and vicious, and the unscrupulous young man is strong and strong, confused by beauty, don't make a fuss and ruin your reputation......" The four of them stopped talking and sighed.

Then I heard the flint on fire, the sound of pine wood peeling, and a fire. The firelight reflected in the back cave, although it had gone through a layer of turns, Zhang Wuji could still vaguely see Zhao Min's face, only to see that she seemed to be resentful and angry, thinking that she was very angry after listening to Zhang Songxi's words.

Zhang Wuji was shocked in his heart: "The words of the fourth senior brother are reasonable. Thinking of this, my heart was pounding, and I secretly thought: "If you send them that Miss Zhao and I are here, it will be impossible to wash it even if you jump into the Yellow River." ”

I only heard Song Yuanqiao suddenly tremble and said: "Fourth brother, I have always had a question hidden in my heart, and it is inconvenient to speak. ”

Zhang Songxi asked slowly, "Is the eldest brother worried that Wuji will suddenly poison the seventh brother?" Song Yuanqiao did not answer.

Although Zhang Wuji didn't see his figure, he guessed that he must have nodded slowly, only to hear Zhang Songxi say: "Wuji's nature is pure, and it stands to reason that he will never do it." I'm only worried that the seventh brother's temper is too reckless, if he is forced to be in a hurry, making it difficult for him to do both, plus Zhao Min's demon girl arranges treacherous tricks to sow discord from it, then ...... Then ...... Alas, people's hearts are unpredictable, the world is unpredictable, and the heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, and they only hope that Wuji can hold it at the juncture. ”

Yin Liting: "Big brother, fourth brother, aren't you worrying about the sky when you say these empty words? The seventh brother may not encounter any danger. ”

Song Yuanqiao: "But when I saw the long sword that the seventh brother carried with me, I couldn't help but be frightened, and I couldn't sleep and eat." ”

Yu Lianzhou: "This matter is indeed incomprehensible, we who practice martial arts, the blade will not be put in hand, not to mention that this sword is given by the master, it is really the sword in the person, and the sword is dead ......" Speaking of this character, he suddenly stopped, and the following dead word was silent.

Zhang Wuji heard that Mo Shenggu had thrown away the long sword given by his teacher, and the four senior brothers were quite suspicious of themselves, and they were worried and angry in their hearts. After a while, I faintly smelled a fragrance in the inner cave, mixed with the commotion of wild beasts, it seemed that the inner cave was very deep, either there was a wild beast hidden at this moment, or a wild beast had lived. He was afraid that Song Yuanqiao and the others would find out, so he didn't even dare to take a sip of the atmosphere, took Zhao Min's hand, and gently walked inward, in order to prevent hitting the protruding rocks, his left hand was stretched out in front of him. After only three steps, he turned a corner, and suddenly his left hand touched a soft object, which seemed to be a human body.

Zhang Wuji was taken aback, and his mind was like electricity: "No matter whether this person is a friend or an enemy, just make a slight noise, and the senior brother will immediately perceive it." ”

The left hand waved straight down, and the place where the tentacle was touched, it was cold, and that person had been out of breath for a long time. Zhang Wuji took advantage of the glimmer of light to stare at the man's face, and vaguely, he felt that this dead corpse was the seventh senior brother Mo Shenggu.

He was frightened, not caring if he would be seen by Song Yuanqiao and others, so he walked out a few steps with the corpse in his arms. The light grew stronger and stronger, and he could see it clearly, who could it be if it wasn't Mo Shenggu? But seeing that his face was bloodless and his eyes were not closed, he looked more and more frightened, and he was shocked and sad, and he was stunned for a while.
