A place far away from the downtown of Ningzhou City, called Lily Lane, is the place where the poor people in Ningzhou City go, and the Pingyang Fang in Qingzhou City is somewhat the same, but most of the people who live here are some peddlers and pawns, and Pingyang Fang lives some poor scholars.

It is about five miles away from the state hall of Ningzhou City, and it is also quite a bit away from the mansions of the four major families. There is a small pond not far from Lily Lane, and there are many lotus flowers in full bloom in the pond, which adds a lot of fun in the middle of the summer night. It's just that this place is sparsely populated, and there are no candles along the way, which should be because the poor people are reluctant to light the lamp, so they finish their meals early and go to bed.

At this moment, a carriage drove slowly, making a slight noise in the silent night, mixed with some snoring next to it, but it did not feel abrupt. Driving through the lotus pond, a gust of evening breeze blew, and the faint fragrance of lotus flowers came, Qin Chuan felt that this area was just right for a while, and he could not be disturbed by the world, and he could also recuperate here, no wonder Aunt Zhi said that this is the safest place in Ningzhou City, and with this lotus, plus the full moon of the fifteenth, then the house next to it is called the Lotus Moon Courtyard is also worthy of its name.

Qin Chuan drove the carriage and asked, "I said, how long will it take to reach the Heyue Courtyard?" There are some bumps on the way, and I am already a little tired. Thinking about how quiet this place is, I want to rest early. It's just that I don't know where to buy soft and other things, and in the middle of the night, you let me sleep on the floor, which is not appropriate, right?"

Shen Lingqiu knew what Qin Chuan meant, if he went to a ruined place, he would have to clean it up, so it was better to go directly to the inn. Shen Lingqiu pointed to a courtyard with a candle flame in front of him and said, "Five hundred steps ahead, in the closest place to the pond, there is a courtyard that is still lit with candles. That's the real Heyue Courtyard. That's where an old acquaintance of Aunt Zhi is, this person has known us for decades, but no one in Ningzhou City knows about our relationship, so we rushed here to rest, you can rest assured. The four major families of Ningzhou City dislike this area, and no one will follow them. ”

Hearing Shen Lingqiu say that the front was a resting place, Qin Chuan suddenly came to his senses, glanced at the front, and hurriedly urged the horse to step forward, it had been a day of tossing today, Qin Chuan was indeed a little tired.

In just a few moments, I was already in front of this house. Although Qin Chuan is not a vassal and elegant person, he can't be surprised when he looks at this place now. This house is built next to the pond, and there are even a few places on top of the pond, the black pillars stand in the pond, and the lotus flowers blooming next to it have also surrounded the house, and it is not known for a while whether this house grows behind the pond or is built according to the pond. The lotus flowers in the pond bloomed with an extra fragrance, which made Qin Chuan think of Guan Lang for a while, after all, the fish that Guan Lang fished were from a pond, if it was at this time, it should also be full of the entire pond.

The group of three got down from the carriage, and Aunt Zhi looked around very cautiously for a long time, until she couldn't hear any sound clearly, Aunt Zhi picked up the iron ring on the door and knocked it rhythmically a few times. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement, Qin Chuan was ready to raise his legs and enter, but Aunt Zhi signaled him not to worry.

Sure enough, I saw that the candle flame inside was extinguished, and after waiting for a long time, I found that there was a slight sound of footsteps, and the sound was getting closer and closer, just when Qin Chuan was thinking about who was coming, the door of this mansion was opened, and in black and black color, Qin Chuan couldn't see who the other party was at all, but looking at the figure, it seemed to be a woman.

When Aunt Zhi saw her, she bowed to her: "I have to bother you again tonight, if there is anything offended, please Haihan." ”

I saw that the woman's voice was a little low and said: "At the beginning, the master tried his best to send you out of the city, I didn't expect you to come back now if you are disobedient, why, do you really think that you can bring down the four major families in Ningzhou? This kind of deep-rooted matter is not something that we mortals can solve, it is better to go to the sky, walk for half a day, live a good life of being rich and peaceful, eat enough, sleep well, and hesitate for a lifetime, isn't it also good? Why do you have to toss, do you have to stir up Ningzhou City to make the chickens and dogs restless?"

Aunt Zhi listened to her words, but she was not angry, it seemed that this person was also Shen Lingqiu's mother's servant. Aunt Zhi pointed at Shen Lingqiu and said, "Sometimes it's not that we don't want to leave, it's just that we have a thousand knots in our hearts, and if we don't solve it, we will draw the ground as a prison wherever we go." I took her away from Ningzhou City, but I often wake up at night, often thinking that I am in Ningzhou City, this state of mind, Miss can't solve it, I can't solve it, so I think before going to the capital, I will come to Ningzhou City, and if I don't handle this matter properly, how can you make us feel at ease. We don't ask for much, just give us a shelter from the wind and rain, if the signs are wrong, we will naturally not bother you. We've known each other for a while, and we won't even let us in the door, right?"

The woman only realized at this moment that there was a young man standing next to Shen Lingqiu, who didn't look big, but she didn't know what it was. In recent days, Ningzhou City is not very peaceful, and the faces of people from other states can often be found, although the state guard said that there is nothing to do, but secretly all the hunting in Ningzhou City has been sprinkled, and all the passes have been guarded, as long as there is a place in one place, other places can be linked immediately. For ordinary people, they say that it is no one else who is guarded against, but the state hall.

Seeing someone staring at him, Qin Chuan hurriedly stepped forward to introduce himself: "I am a native of Qingzhou City, and I came to Ningzhou City just to do something to do something. I am cautious and will not cause big trouble, you can rest assured, when I finish the matter, I will definitely leave Ningzhou City quietly. ”

The woman smiled contemptuously and said to Aunt Zhi: "You are really more and more confused, thinking that meeting someone is a Buddha who can help you get out of the sea of suffering, and you just take a book and think that it is a peerless exercise, which can make you enter the supreme martial arts." He is just a teenager, and he can still turn Ningzhou City upside down, Aunt Zhi, don't be confused. When the master sent you out, he didn't let you take Shen Lingqiu back for revenge, as long as you can live in the world, it is the best comfort for the master. Now that you're back, I say what's good about you. ”

When Shen Lingqiu saw this woman, he had some mixed feelings for a while, if she hadn't helped her at the beginning, he would not have been able to escape Ningzhou City, and he would have to fall into the hands of Chen Xiangyuan in the end. It's just that she blames herself for her mother's death, after all, if it wasn't for protecting herself, her mother wouldn't have let go. As far as she is concerned, she and her mother are like brothers and sisters, but she is a little pessimistic about herself, so she never calls herself a young lady, but Shen Lingqiu.

"Aunt Bai, I have reached the age of sixteen, I know what I am doing, if I am not so sure, I will definitely not return to this place. The people in Ningzhou City are very taboo about my mother's death, maybe they have forgotten the concubine of the Ning family, but I remember, Aunt Zhi also remembers, and you also remember. Even if my mother has been buried in the loess, I have to help her out of her uncontrollable evil breath. Otherwise, what if I go to the capital to gain fame, but those people are already dead? I just want to solve this matter with my own hands, but when the east wind is ready, who can predict what will happen in the middle?"

Seeing Shen Lingqiu and Aunt Zhi being so stubborn, the woman didn't know what to say, turned around and walked towards the house, accompanied by the sound of frogs and cicadas, and said faintly: "If it doesn't work out this time, you have to promise me to leave quickly." Where there is life, there is hope. With that, he lit the candle and went back to his room.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhi beckoned Qin Chuan to lead the carriage over, and after Aunt Zhi glanced around a few times to make sure that no one was following, the courtyard door was tightly closed. After a while, he took out dozens of strings from his arms, densely intertwined, and they were also covered with bells, and as Aunt Zhi threw them into the air, the courtyard was covered with strings, and if someone sneaked to this place, Aunt Zhi would definitely know. Moreover, Qin Chuan secretly used the aura of heaven and earth to investigate, this bell contains Aunt Zhi's aura of heaven and earth, and ordinary birds and beasts will not make any sound when they touch the strings. Unless the person who comes is a martial arts cultivator above the realm of synaesthesia, Aunt Zhi will not know.

Qin Chuan tied the horse to the yard, and brought some sweet potatoes and other things from the side, I saw that the horse was eating very happily, it seemed that he had suffered a lot along the way, and he had not eaten well.

After discussing with Aunt Zhi, all the things on the carriage were moved, Qin Chuan's things were very simple, after a cloth bag, it was the wooden box. However, as soon as Aunt Zhi saw the box, she was inexplicably palpitated, she could see it clearly at the time, after Qin Chuan killed the martial arts cultivator at the peak realm of gathering spirits, he took back the sword with a broken blade into the box, and Aunt Zhi vaguely felt that there was a bigger secret hidden in the box, and she was also curious about Qin Chuan's identity, the old Tao in his mouth would definitely not be a nameless person in the martial arts rivers and lakes.

Qin Chuan carried the things on his back, and asked Aunt Zhi where was his accommodation, with Aunt Zhi's finger, he found that the east wing room was his resting place tonight, Qin Chuan scooped up a scoop of water next to the well and simply washed it and went to rest, this way was already too tired, Qin Chuan just thought about lying down and sleeping.

Entering the room, Qin Chuan was ready to sleep on the ground, but when the candle was lit, he found that the room was spotlessly cleaned, and he couldn't tell that there had been no one living here for a long time. And there is no musty smell in the room, I think it is because of the daily ventilation. It seems that the woman is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, if she didn't think that Shen Lingqiu and Aunt Zhi might come back, how could she be so clean.

After taking off his clothes, Qin Chuan was ready to sleep, but he didn't know why, after touching this bed, he was not sleepy at all, and the previous feeling of exhaustion had disappeared, was there something wrong with this bed?

When I moved the candle flame over, I found that the beds were all simply arranged, and there was no difference, and it seemed that it was just a matter of my own state of mind. Since entering the realm of Qixuan, Qin Chuan felt that he could accurately hear the sound of a frog jumping thirty steps away, and if he released the aura of heaven and earth, he could also sense that there was a spider eating flies under the eaves, and even felt that Aunt Zhi did not need to hang those bells at all, because Qin Chuan's aura of heaven and earth could be perceived faster.

Escaping from death in that wilderness, Qin Chuan also began to doubt the identity of the old Dao, he couldn't be just an ordinary veteran of Ma Taling, he should also be a well-known figure in the martial arts rivers and lakes, but there is no clue at the moment. If it weren't for the wooden box left by the old Dao, Qin Chuan would definitely not have obtained the sword with a broken blade, and against people who were much higher than his martial arts cultivators, I am afraid that he would not have much chance of winning. There are deeper inscriptions in the wooden box, which is obviously not something that Qin Chuan of this realm can understand, but Qin Chuan is very confident, at this age he is already a martial arts practitioner in the realm of Qixuan, and he is also proficient in formations, and can write obscure runes, even if he is considered to be among the best people in Ningzhou City, but the world is so big that there are no surprises, there is a watchman in the capital who casually split his own Mataling Taoist Temple, as well as Li Canghai of the North Styx Mountain, the meaning of the vast view of the sea is not something that ordinary people can understand, according to the old Tao, it is necessary to live in the hands of these people for more than 100 moves before it is possible to open the wooden boxto know where to find yourself.

But Qin Chuan also kept muttering, if he could get more than a hundred moves in the hands of these people, at least it would be the cultivation of the Upper Three Realms, but it took him half a year to reach the Qixuan Realm, when would this be to the Upper Three Realms?

Qin Chuan saw that he was sleepy, so he simply walked outside, at this time Shen Lingqiu and Aunt Zhi had already fallen asleep, except for the occasional sound of frogs, there was no sound in this place, Qin Chuan sighed, whenever it was quiet at night, he would always be alone and cranky.

The case of the extermination of the Qin family in Qinling, I have to find out a famous hall, and there is a five-year appointment with Lao Dao, and I don't know when it will be realized for a while. Looking at this dark night, I felt a little bored for a while, and I wanted to go out for a walk and see how lush the lotus flowers around me were.

Open the door directly and go out, I'm afraid it will wake up Shen Lingqiu and the others, after thinking about it, Qin Chuan ran the aura of heaven and earth, and directly flashed out of the strings arranged by Aunt Zhi, for ordinary people to be careful to avoid the bell, Qin Chuan didn't have to care where it was, because Qin Chuan directly locked the heaven and earth aura of the bell, even if it wanted to make a sound, it could only keep silent.

Coming out of the house, Qin Chuan came to the lotus pond alone, the moonlight was thick, shining on the surface of the pond, it could be seen that many frogs were resting next to the lotus leaves, the state hall of Ningzhou City in the distance was still brightly lit, and the rich merchants from all over the country were still prosperous, but Qin Chuan looked at the location of the state hall, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
