There was no snort, no heartbeat, no pulse, she was literally dead.

Liu Xiaohua's hands and feet were suddenly cold, and she quickly groped on her body, but fortunately, although the dagger was not on her body, the beads for lighting were still there.

Hotaru's pearlescent light illuminates those around her.

Linglong seemed to be just asleep, as if she would wake up as soon as someone else screamed.

Liu Xiaohua couldn't believe that the person who was alive not long ago was now dead.

He Wen'er, who was sleeping on the other side, rolled over in a dream, opened her eyes in a daze, glanced absentmindedly, and quickly closed her heavy eyelids and continued to sleep.

But within a second of closing her eyelids, she immediately opened her eyes violently, jumped up from the bed, and almost fell under the bed. Seeing that it was Liu Xiaohua holding the beads for lighting, it was not something terrible, so he was greatly relieved.

complained: "Little Uncle Ancestor, what are you doing!" In the middle of the night. Worried about this and worried about that these days, we haven't slept much. Finally, I said that I would not practice today and would have a good night's sleep. Is there anyone as scary as you? ”

Seeing Liu Xiaohua's gloomy face, she didn't say a word, and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong?" ”

followed Liu Xiaohua's gaze to Linglong who was sleeping between the two people. Slowly, the expression is not right. Even if you sleep deeply, it is impossible for your chest not to rise and fall, and Linglong's face is lifeless and lifeless.

She reached out to probe Linglong's snort, and was so shocked that she fell from under the bed and smashed on Cheng Zhengzhi, who was sleeping on the ground.

Within a few moments, the whole room woke up. When they found that one of their companions had died silently, they were all stunned.

This is the first time that everyone has experienced the death of the same door, and it is still the person who dies with everyone day and night, and dies by everyone's side.

"Little Uncle Ancestor!" Zhou Qing came over and called Liu Xiaohua, and she came back to her senses. swept everyone present, and suddenly his heart sank, and there was one less person here: "What about the floating people?" ”

"I don't know. Everyone was there when they went to bed. "Cheng Zhengzhi's face is also ugly." Didn't you say that you would be able to solve it if you returned the gold? Why did she still have an accident! ”

Zhou Qing's expression was heavy.

He Wen'er was completely stunned, "Isn't it that we are trying too quickly." After returning the gold, she was in a hurry to see if she could get out of the city. That's how it turned out. If only we waited, maybe. ”

Liu Xiaohua didn't speak, immediately packed up a few things, got up and went out the door.

Cheng Zhengzhi saw that she also brought a kitchen knife, and said hurriedly: "Where are you going?" ”

"Close the door."

She went downstairs and went directly to the backyard, went out the back door, and hurried in the direction of the temple.

At this time the fog is still everywhere. From time to time, there is the sound of money falling in the sky. She felt that Eater was following her, but this time she was no longer afraid of such things. Without looking back, he touched the root of the wall and ran forward.

After entering the temple, familiarly dodge the attack of the carnivorous tree. He closed the door closely, stood by the door and waited for a while, making sure that no one was following him, and then walked quickly towards the long road. The qiē inside didn't seem to change in the slightest, and it seemed that no one had entered it since she and Fusheng came out.

She walked the long way, stopped around the corner, and took a step further, and was within range of the vine demon. Liu Xiaohua stretched out her head to take a look, there was no one there. Then she didn't go in, but picked the darkest corner and squatted down.

From what Fusheng said in the empty room in the mausoleum, it can be seen that he tried his best to clear up two things. One thing, he didn't have the blood to open the door, and the second thing, this is just a fake tomb.

Liu Xiaohua didn't believe a word.

Since this is just a fake tomb used to confuse people, and the floating identity is special, it is even more necessary to convince those who are looking for a real tomb that this is the real one. Let them keep circling this empty room, studying every brick here, putting all their energy into cracking the mechanism that does not exist at all, and looking for the Heavenly Book of Words that is not here at all. Isn't it safer to have a real tomb?

Why lure those people away?

Since Fusheng is a person who can kill his fellow disciples, he must not really think that the life of a fake uncle is more important than saving the book of words. It is even more impossible to tell the truth in order to let those people let Zhang Fengnian go.

The only possibility is that what those people are looking for is really here. He wasn't at the inn, which meant that he was afraid that those people would notice it, and he must have come overnight to remove the things.

Liu Xiaohua squatted in the grass, holding her breath and not moving. But the heart fluctuates like a tide. Although she convinced herself that she must have killed Linglong. He didn't just kill Linglong, he killed her. It's just that she has black skin, she doesn't realize anything at all, and she comes back to life on her own.

And the reason why Fusheng did this kind of killer was because she and Linglong both saw him use blood to subdue those warriors. He didn't believe that she and Linglong would help him keep it a secret.

But on the one hand, she had a little hope, and this qiē was just her own thinking too much.

Liu Xiaohua didn't know how long she had been squatting, and when she finally heard the sound of the demon vine, her whole body shook and she immediately held the kitchen knife she brought in her hand. If she suddenly appears and Fusheng has a different expression when he sees her, it means that everything is the same as she thinks. It was Fusheng who killed her and Linglong.

Then she doesn't have to show mercy.

I thought about killing someone who was dependent on me. Liu Xiaohua's hands trembled for a while. I couldn't stop feeling flustered. This feeling came up, and that tickling feeling returned, as if something was crawling on her forehead. She wiped her forehead vigorously and uneasily. The itchy feeling is gone.

She reassured herself that it was right to kill him. He killed Linglong, killed himself, and killed him to pay for his life. Even if she doesn't do it, Fusheng won't let her go. So be sure to strike first.

At this time, the sound of the demon vine dragging the iron had stopped.

There was a string of soft footsteps.

Liu Xiaohua took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from her palms, stuck the knife behind her waist, and held the handle tightly behind her back. Raise your eyes and look the way you came.

A figure walked out of the door, but did not come immediately, but stood very cautiously at the door, waiting for the demon vine to push the iron back again, and then the figure turned and walked outside.

He didn't use anything he used to look for, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, only barely able to see the way he walked.

This posture gave Liu Xiaohua an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. It's as if I've seen this person somewhere. But I can't remember who it is.

For a moment, Liu Xiaohua thought that what she had encountered was not Fusheng, and it was not until he walked out of the range of the demon vine and arrived at the intersection that she was sure that she was not mistaken. That's really floating. He looked like a boy next door, just too thin, but that way, he had a little more grace.

The floating life seemed to notice someone hiding in the shadows, and immediately stopped.

Liu Xiaohua calmed down, reached out and pressed the handle of the knife inserted in her lower back. Two steps to the moonlight.

When Fusheng saw her, he was visibly stunned. Apparently surprised.

Liu Xiaohua's heart sank, and she immediately clenched the handle of the knife.

At this time, Fusheng was stunned and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

It was just a surprise that she suddenly appeared here. I don't seem to know anything else.

As he spoke, he laughed again: "You can't be afraid that something will happen to me, and you've been waiting for me here, right?" Rest assured, they're gone. At least it won't be so quick to react. ”

Liu Xiaohua hesitated again, if he really killed her and Linglong, and saw her come back to life, how could it be so natural? Does it really have nothing to do with him? The hand holds the handle of the knife, which is tight at one time and loose at the other. It's hard to decide.

"How can Master rest assured that you will run out?" Unaware of her unusualness, Fusheng walked out with brisk steps, motioning for her to follow.

Liu Xiaohua followed behind him, and from this angle, she could kill this teenager very easily. The other party seemed defenseless against her. As if nothing happened, she asked, "Is Senior Brother back?" ”

"When I came out, I met him on his way back to the inn. But everyone else slept. He didn't go over, but went back to his room. Fusheng suddenly turned around: "I thought you knew?" ”

Liu Xiaohua smiled and said, "I don't know." I just see you're gone. So come out and find yours. She lowered her eyes and made a sad look, stretched out a hand to pull the corner of her clothes, stepped forward, looked up at him and said, "Linglong is dead." I'm afraid you're in some danger. So come to you. ”

She stood so close to Fusheng, opposite his clear eyes, even if he had the slightest strangeness, he couldn't escape her eyes.

But there was only shock on his face: "Dead? "I stood there for a while. It seems that it is impossible to digest the news for a while.

Liu Xiaohua stared at him and asked, "On the way here, I thought, I know about you and Linglong, will you want to kill us?" ”

If it was really a killing thing, she suddenly asked so directly, and the other party was defenseless, and it was easy to show her feet. Even if it is a momentary expression, as long as the observer has a heart, it cannot be concealed.

Fusheng heard her ask, but he just looked at her, neither angry nor defended himself, just repeated her words: "Will I want to kill you?" Then he asked her in an unusually strange tone: "Do you think I will kill you?" ”

Liu Xiaohua asked rhetorically: "Will you kill me?" ”

His expression instantly cooled, looked at the bun on the top of her head, and said, "It's me who is being amorous." I thought you were worried about what happened to me. It turned out that the culprit was chased. Also, if you are so smart, it is not difficult to figure out how it is now. He looked at Liu Xiaohua lightly and asked, "Do you think I killed Linglong, did I come to kill me?" What kind of friendship does she have with you, and it is worth it for you to kill people in the middle of the night? Is it worth you to kill me for her? ”

Liu Xiaohua was a little uncertain in her heart, seeing his attitude, she felt that maybe she was really mistaken. I want to speak.

Fusheng suddenly said, "That's right. I killed her. As he spoke, he pulled something out of his waist and threw it at her feet, and said coldly: "If you don't pick it up yet, kill me to avenge her." "Negative spirits are average.

The dagger fell to the ground, reflecting the cold moonlight. Fusheng looked annoyed and looked at her with the same cold gaze.

Liu Xiaohua didn't know what to do for a while, but when she thought about it seriously, it seemed that she shouldn't have been. She had such a nonsensical suspicion of people. If Fusheng really wanted to kill her, wouldn't it be easy to kill her defenseless directly when there was no one on the long road? When I went back, I only said that she was unfortunately killed and died, and no one could fault her. Why bother going back with her. Since Fusheng can trust her, there is no reason not to trust Linglong. Everyone is the same family, and the friendship is quite equal, how can there be a reason to believe one and not believe in the other.

Besides, if he really didn't trust the two of them, he wouldn't have stepped forward when he was a samurai, and even if he exposed himself, he would have to save people. What's the problem?

In the final analysis, she herself is seriously suspicious and sick, and she can't trust others.

Liu Xiaohua was a little embarrassed when she thought so, so much so that she felt that she lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, maybe Linglong really died in the Golden City. Why did she think of floating life in the first place?

She softened the evidence and said, "You don't have to be angry. I'm just asking you. If something is said, there will be no mutual suspicion. You say, don't you? ”

Fusheng was stunned for a moment, but only sneered. Turn your head away and ignore her.

Liu Xiaohua stood behind him and said embarrassedly: "Don't be angry. He rolled his eyes and said, "If I really believe that you killed you, how could I ask you to your face?" Wouldn't it be okay to ambush you and kill you? I...... I just can't be a straight person, don't blame me. ”

Fusheng listened to her softly whispered apology, and a trace of warmth flashed in her originally complicated expression, she is straight, and there is probably no one in the world who is not straight. It's a shame that she can be so sincere. But he just said coldly: "Who told you not to kill?" ”

"I will never wronged you again." Liu Xiaohua said embarrassedly.

Fusheng listened, didn't speak, turned around and left. The expression on his face was indescribably irritated.

On the way back, Liu Xiaohua followed behind him to apologize. After walking the long road, when he left the temple, Fusheng said very reluctantly, "Okay." You also care about the same door. At first, I came out because I was afraid that I would be in danger, so I will forgive you for the time being. Seeing Liu Xiaohua's relieved look, she couldn't help but feel lighter. She was young at the end of the day, and she always showed some childish habits from time to time.

Thinking so, his face made a look of displeasure, "Speaking of which, I saved you, and you saved me." We are friends who share adversity and suffering. It's sad that you doubt me like this. Come to think of it, I must have done something wrong and had a loss of morality, which made my little uncle look at me differently. I don't dare to give in. ”

Liu Xiaohua was sneered at by him like this, and her face turned red. I felt even more weak, and there was a feeling of not straightening my waist in front of him. I don't feel so guilty anymore, and I said a basket of beautiful words to Fusheng. said that he would definitely change his life in the future.

When the two returned to the inn, it was easy to reconcile.

And the exquisite things in the inn have already alarmed Zhang Fengnian. He stood in front of the collapse, looking at Linglong, who had lost his life, and his face was extremely gloomy. Liu Xiaohua entered the door and immediately explained: "Seeing that something happened to Linglong and found that Fusheng was gone, I didn't worry about it and immediately looked for it." ”

Zhang Fengnian nodded, looking tired, presumably he had not had a light time these days. He looked at a room of disciples with anxious faces, but he didn't say anything serious, but said, "With her lessons from the past, I guess you won't dare to be careless in the future?" ”

The disciples did not dare to remain silent.

He looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Liu Xiaohua.

Liu Xiaohua had no choice but to lower her eyes and say, "I know it's wrong." As an elder, I didn't take good care of my juniors, and I asked the senior brother to punish me. "In the sect, when it comes to punishment, you can't escape the pain of flesh and skin.

He Wen'er wiped her tears and whispered to defend Liu Xiaohua: "Uncle Xiaoshi also dissuaded him at that time. Linglong didn't listen to herself. Her hands and feet are fast, and she holds it in her hand at once, and others can't stop it if they want to. It's not easy to blame others for this. ”

Zhang Fengnian snorted. asked again: "What's going on with that Xu Sijiu?" ”

After hearing that Xu Sijiu knew that Linglong was restrained, he left his fellow door in the name of going back to report the news, and immediately became angry, "This little brute, what a big bold!" My little Penglai has not had such an unrighteous person for many years. If you abandon the same door, you will betray, as the elder, it is not an exaggeration for you to kill her at that time, don't you know? ”

The voice was so loud and the tone was so strong that everyone present did not dare to speak.

Liu Xiaohua whispered: "I know." ”

Zhang Fengnian was still angry, and reprimanded Liu Xiaohua and said: "You know, but you didn't do it!" That's a big mistake! There is a reward for the right, and there is a punishment for the wrong, in order to convince the people. Liwei name. If you are soft-hearted for a while, you are a bad rule. If there is one, there will be two, and everyone will be like this in the future. I'm not here these days, which one of you has done a good job? Your second senior brother is confused, the third senior brother and the fourth senior brother have never been on the council, and the fifth senior brother can't be counted on. I see how smart you are to take you by your side, but if you don't grow, who will you count on in the future? Could it be that the master got up and supported himself? Do you think that currying favor and selling a good job in front of the master is good for the master? ”

Liu Xiaohua was scolded and was silent. Hurriedly knelt down and admitted his mistake.

Fusheng couldn't help but say: "Uncle Xiao is still young, and some things are not a day's work......"

Zhang Fengnian didn't scold anymore. only threw down the sentence "Go back to the mountain tomorrow." ”

Then he turned and went out.

Liu Xiaohua noticed that when he went out, although he didn't show any decline, his posture was not as tall as before, and when he crossed the threshold, Fusheng also went up to help him. It seems that he is really devastated by his vitality.

Zhang Fengnian left, and Cheng Zhengzhi hurriedly squeezed away Fusheng and helped her up.

No one in the room spoke.

Even Cheng Zhengzhi is much quieter than usual.

He Wen'er looked at the Linglong on the collapse and whispered, "I heard that her family is very amazing." It's just that I was defeated later, and I don't know if there are any relatives there. ”

Cheng Zhengzhi said depressedly: "Her family seems to have a hereditary official position, and in her generation, there are only two daughters, and her sister is determined not to marry, so the official position is not left behind." But now her sister is no longer alive. The new emperor ascended the throne and purged a large number of people. There's her sister inside. Before her sister died, she asked someone to send her to Xiaopenglai. ”

This group of people has never felt the ruthlessness of death so truly. Linglong is so small, and there is a good annualization, full of negative reports and plans. As a result, I didn't know that it would be so abrupt. A qiē came to an abrupt halt. No one expected it.

Zhou Qing stepped forward and covered her with a sheet.

No one slept that night, and no one had the heart to practice. I sat around the table and sat quietly all night. Early the next morning, the carriage that had brought them stopped outside the inn.

When the group went out, they found that the guys were all crowded at the door. Seeing them come in, someone took the lead and knelt down with a pop, and shouted unevenly: "Immortal help!" ”

Zhang Fengnian looked at them and said abruptly: "This is probably your life." ”

The guys thought he wouldn't help. His face sank, and he wanted to beg again.

Zhang Fengnian said again: "You are ready to bring paper money." Moved to a temple in the center of the city. ”

When those people saw that he was willing, they immediately smiled, and there was no one who did not work hard, so they hurried to prepare. When Liu Xiaohua and a few people put Linglong in the car and placed it, they had already replied that they were ready.

Although everyone wanted to see how this matter was resolved, Zhang Fengnian didn't seem to be in a good mood, so no one dared to say more. obediently sat in the car with Liu Xiaohua and waited outside the car.

All the way out, the streets were full of happy people, running around, telling others that there was good news that there were immortals who wanted to save everyone.

Many people who were still outside the city hurried to the city, probably to find their relatives who lived in the city. The woman cried and laughed while holding the child, shouting that great joy had finally come.

The car stopped outside the city, and after a while, I heard the sound of gold in the sky. With the golden sound, black clouds rolled in the distant sky. But in an instant, the sky was obscured, and it was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.

After Jin Ming, the outside of the car was galloping like ten thousand horses, as if a large team was galloping towards the city with a gust of wind. Bursts of mourning resounded in the sky, from far to near, and from near to far. As these voices faded away, the heavens brightened again.

Liu Xiaohua lifted the curtain of the car and saw that the Golden City was standing not far away, and was about to speak, when a gust of wind blew. But in an instant, the whole city shattered to ashes like burnt paper ashes, and disappeared into smoke and disappeared, leaving only a wasteland, on which stood a few people with blank expressions.

Surrounded by countless dry bones. From a distance, it looks white. Those dry bones, at first, still maintained various vivid forms, but soon, they were scattered to the ground.

I don't know who started it, and the people who were frozen in place burst into tears.

Liu Xiaohua saw the old man he had met at the city gate, he hugged a skeleton and cried heartbreakingly, looking like he couldn't live. No one thought that after this formation was dissolved, they would face death.

Zhang Fengnian came out after a while, got into the car, and said, "Let's go." ”

The car went straight to the same road without looking back.

The disciples in the car were seven when they came, and only five when they returned, surrounded by the corpses of the same family, and their eyes were more and more distant in the land of bones, all of them silent. The car didn't go far, and Cheng Zhengzhi suddenly said, "Look. ”

Liu Xiaohua and the others stretched out their heads to look out the window, and saw a person wearing a small Penglai disciple uniform standing on the side of the road. I thought it was Xu Sijiu, and I was about to sue Zhang Fengnian, when the car rushed past that person.

At the moment of misalignment, Liu Xiaohua saw clearly that it was Xu Sijiu, but it was clear that it was no longer Xu Sijiu, that person had goosebumps, a hunched waist, and an old and cloudy eye, which had lost his luster and looked like he was dying of old age, but he still maintained a posture of looking, standing on the side of the road, as if waiting for a passer-by to take him for a ride.

He Wen'er whispered: "Is that Xu Sijiu?" How did it come to this? He looked terrified.

Cheng Zhengzhi stopped Liu Xiaohua and covered the curtain of the car and said, "Don't look at it." ”

The people in the car stopped talking, and the sound of the car speeding was particularly harsh.

After a while, He Wen'er whispered, "Uncle Shi doesn't seem to be very sad. "I was so angry that it was because Liu Xiaohua was not in charge of things a little more.

Zhou Qing whispered, "I've seen too much." The path of monasticism is like this. Those who are qualified may not be able to survive to the end, and those who are clever and clever may not be able to turn evil into good fortune. The more people want to live, the faster they are likely to die. Under an immortal, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. ”

It wasn't until the car entered Binzhou that it was almost near Xiaopenglai, and the atmosphere was relaxed by the overwhelming red silk flowers on the roadside.

When she stopped to rest, He Wen'er asked passers-by curiously, "Is there any happy event around here?" ”

The young woman laughed and said, "Not really! Little Penglai has a big joy. These ten miles of saffron were made by the immortals. ”

Liu Xiaohua asked inexplicably: "What is the happy event of Xiao Penglai?" ”
