When he left Liwu's home again, Tang Wuyi was relaxed, and he was very interested when he saw the stall selling some gadgets, and while it was still early, he was interested in taking a good look at the place where Liwui lived. This border town is much richer than Tang Wuyi imagined, every household has a business to do, a rich life, advocating business, hospitality, and beautiful mountains and rivers, with the liveliness of the capital's abundant materials, but there is no political strife in the capital, power and intrigue, it is an excellent place to live and live.

Soon after entering this thriving business and lively snack street, Tang Wuyi had already eaten a string of sugar gourds, two fried soybean milk, and three or four shrimp balls. Unlike Transsonic and Qufeng, Tang Wuyi doesn't eat a lot of everything, he tastes every snack, he doesn't eat much every time, and he will eat a few more especially delicious ones, according to him, if he eats enough at one time, if there is any more delicious food, he will not have a stomach. He is different from Transsonic and Wind, he is afraid that he will not have a chance to come here in the future, but they can come at any time if they want to, so he wants to taste them all and see more, just like before he left the capital, Laifu suggested that he eat more delicious food, so as not to be hungry and nostalgic after going to Kunlun.

When those stall owners saw that the three masters and servants were generous, they all beckoned customers with smiles on their faces, and took out their own characteristics to serve the way, Tang Wuyi did not refuse, and accepted all the orders, and after a while, the hands of the two hands were full of things. These three people from other places became the most popular people on the street in an instant.

"Little boy, come to the store to finish eating dogwood river mussel noodles! Don't miss it when you come to Dogwood Town~" The shopkeeper with a white headscarf waved a fairly white rag excitedly in front of the door.

"Dogwood river mussel powder?what?" Tang Wuyi ran into the store without hesitation, he had never heard of such a strange meal, but the name seemed to be a special feature of Dogwood Town, and he was interested.

In the store, Xiao'er shouted at the counter: "Three bowls of dogwood river mussel noodles", and there was a sonorous "Okay, please wait for the guest to arrive." ”

The child here is not idle, and after asking if there are any other dishes and wines needed, he began to say how good this powder is.

"It's the first time for you, but I'll tell you first, this bowl of noodles is fresh and spicy. Fresh is this river mussel, the river water of the Yulian River, coupled with the sunshine of this dogwood town, there is this fleshy meat, fresh and tender and refreshing mussel meat, this river mussel is picked up on the river bank, the sun comes out, this river mussel climbs from the Yulian River to the shallows to bask in the sun with a mussel shell, but it is healthy! This dogwood is the specialty of the dogwood town, although there are all over the country, but it is used to make vegetables, the dogwood town is original. Well, don't bother the guests, wait for this powder to come up, and you'll know when you taste it. ”

Tang Wuyi heard him say how this clam meat was, and unconsciously the saliva had been left, he secretly stepped on and wiped the saliva, and saw a long queue at the shop opposite, which looked obviously much more popular than here, and he didn't know what was selling delicious, so he ordered to go to the wind: "You go to the opposite side to see, what is delicious to buy!"

"Huh?" went to the wind to see the fans came up, there was such a long queue over there, when will it be his turn?

"Waste. Along the way, you have said that you will protect my safety, but you have not encountered any danger on the road, you have followed me to eat and drink along the way, and I don't know what you will do all of you, and you look like you are high all day long!" Tang Wuyi said with his hands and arms and pouted.

"Okay, since the little master said it, I'll let it go. Qu Feng rushed out like a stunned blue, and brushed a few tricks at the crowd, originally wanting to scare off the group of people, but they didn't expect them to applaud, and some people threw a few pieces of silver on the ground. This...... There is no effect! If one move doesn't work, he thinks of another move, and the stunt of going to the wind is to come and go like the wind, and he quickly ranks to the front without knowing it.

"Boss, what's your specialty here?" Qu Feng whispered in the clerk's ear. As soon as this sentence came out, the clerk's eyes changed when they looked at him, and the people behind the line also looked at him, their faces full of question marks. I felt a little awkward in the atmosphere.

"This strong man can see clearly, this shop is in the flower and tree business, and does not sell vegetables. What flowers or plants would you like to sell?"

When I looked up in the wind, I saw that the signboard said "Aokifang", which turned out to be a flower and tree business. He returned to the restaurant with a black face, and the dogwood mussel noodles were already on the table, steaming. Seeing him come back, Tang Wuyi and Chuanyin glanced at him, and pretended to eat noodles, but couldn't help but snicker, "This noodles are really delicious! ”

The Aoki Fang is the largest flower and tree business shop in Zhuyu Town, not only covering the supply of flowers and trees in the town, but even foreign merchants have come to the door to cooperate with it, the prince who has made Xiao Jinfeng Su Hongyu never forget - Wang Shize, the main source of the caravan flowers and trees led five years ago is Aoki Fang. The owner of Aokifang is called Shen Tan, and their only son is called Shen He, who is also ten years old this year, as old as Tang Wuyi. Although Aokifang is located in the downtown area of Dogwood Town, the Shen family does not live here, and their Aoki Villa is located in a secluded place, surrounded by the Shen family's Aoki Garden, which has the largest land for planting flowers and trees in Dogwood Town.

The tired bird returned to the nest, the red sun was slanting to the west, and the master and servant left the town of Zhuyu and returned to Zhaoti Temple. The temple is exceptionally quiet, and on weekdays, as long as it is not a break time, you can hear the noisy and noisy voices of the tenants, but now it is surprisingly quiet. As soon as Tang Wuyi arrived at the temple, he went to look for a long beard, but heard a shocking news.

"Among those tenants of Zhaoti Temple, some people died suddenly!"

"Why?" Tang Wuyi looked surprised.

"Murder! I didn't expect anyone to do such a thing. Presumably, someone started to do it in order to go to Kunlun alone. ”

Tang Wuyi didn't understand, why some people would do such a brutal thing, if they thought about it a little, they wouldn't be so impulsive, they just need to care about Kunlun if they can't get in, why bother others, even if he is the only one who sees Kunlun in the world, can he enter Kunlun? As the saying goes: The world's hearts are turbid, and it's really good.

Then, every few hours, someone dies, either in one or in pairs. When more than three people died, the monastery fell into a panic, shrouded in a strange shadow of death, and even those tenants who did not die began to wait for death to come, or began to plot to kill others, at this juncture, they formed a consensus: if you don't kill someone first, you will be the one who takes the first death. Every tenant who lives here has to participate in this game of death, and it is still unknown who will stay to meet Kunlun.

Time passed minute by minute, night fell, and the moon was exceptionally round tonight.

Before the night came, Long Beard had already gone to Tang Wuyi's house to wait, and the four warriors also stepped up their guards, as long as no one came to move Tang Wuyi, no matter how many people died, they would not make a move, if someone moved the idea of killing Tang Wuyi, Long Beard would order the four warriors to kill all these people, just in case.

Along the way, Tang Wuyi had never seen the cold-blooded killer side of the four samurai, and the four samurai who made outsiders tremble were like four loyal and docile dogs in front of him, and he even thought that these people were just charlatans who were abducted and deceived, just to defraud the Tang Mansion of the lucrative commission, and they also seriously defended themselves: "We are samurai!"

At night, it's slightly chilly. The clear light of the moon shines through the towering sycamore trees in front of the window, and you can hear the dogs barking in Dogwood Town. Long Beard and the Four Samurai sat quietly in the front hall with their eyes closed, Tang Wuyi slept on the bed, although his eyes were closed, but he did not fall asleep, in this case, he had a lot of thoughts, how could he sleep. Hearing the dog barking, he remembered Ah Huang, he went to the back mountain and didn't find it, not even a corpse, it disappeared for no apparent reason, among those dogs barking wantonly at night, would there be Ah Huang? Ah Huang's eyes appeared in his mind again, when he found it in the carriage that day, what excitement and joy were in his little eyes, Tang Wuyi's heart suddenly hurt, two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks, and his heart was full of self-blame and remorse.

This night, many people did not sleep, and the seemingly quiet and beautiful night was full of intrigue and trajectory, killing and ambition, and the undercurrent was surging.

After dawn, several more bodies were carried out of the guest rooms by the monks and placed in the open space in the center of the temple with those who had died yesterday, covered with white cloths, some of which had been soaked with blood. Subsequently, a monk reported to the abbot that four people were missing, all of them had died, and in the bamboo forest not far from the temple, it seemed that there was a fight, and each of them was killed.

The abbot waved his hand: "Let's bring back the corpses!"

There were four more corpses in the courtyard.

The bearded man has seen it, and those people died strangely, and their demeanor after death was also different.

"What are the ways to die?" Tang Wuyi was curious.

"There are those who died of bleeding and poisoning, those who were suffocated by strangulation, those who were hacked to death by knives, those who were killed by hidden weapons, those who bit their tongues and committed suicide, and some who did not know how to die. ”

"What's the matter with biting his tongue and killing himself? Someone wants him to die, and he doesn't even resist?"

"Hopeless, maybe!" said the bearded man, shaking his head. He looked at the rising red sun in the distance, and a new day had come, but the nightmare was not over, and the long beard seemed to be waiting for that moment to come.

When the day was over, most of the people were dead. Night fell again.

After lunch during the day, Longbeard received a letter of challenge to him to face off in the bamboo grove of the temple at night when the moon rose, and the other party did not leave his name, only a blood-red handprint. Longbeard knew that there were already people who couldn't bear the patience to make a move in advance, they were going to strike a little earlier than he thought, Longbeard originally thought that they were the last group of people to be assassinated, but now people actually blatantly wrote a war letter, it seems that the other party wants to find out the details first.

When the faint crescent moon hung in the sky, the long beard went to the bamboo forest, and when he left, he didn't tell Tang Wuyi, but only said to the four warriors: "Protect the little master." ”

As soon as the long beard arrived in the bamboo forest, there was a "whoosh" sound in his ears, not the wind, the bamboo under the moonlight did not move at all, there was no wind tonight, it was a hidden weapon. The artifact passed just under the long beard's earlobe, and in the 0.1 seconds closest to him, he felt a chill in his ears. But the dart didn't stab him, and he snapped back from where it had been shot, and the beard dodged again. This time it was through the armpits, the long beard just raised his arms, jumped into the air, and escaped again, and the flying mark was tied to the bamboo, and never returned.

The long beard said to the void in the shadows: "Why do you have to kill? You know that the decision is in Kunlun's hands, and those who die are innocent." ”

For a long time, a figure appeared in the darkness: "It's jealousy." The weak will choose to kill, this is the only way the weak can think of. ”

"Then why did you send me a war letter?"

"Because that little boy is the most promising. ”

"Tang Wuyi, he has to go to Kunlun, and no one can stop him. ”

There were two sneers from the other side, and then a gust of wind blew towards Longbeard, and it was the man in the darkness, holding a long sword in his hand, and stabbed straight at Longbeard. The hand rises, and the knife falls. The knife flickered, and the light reflected in the eyes of the long beard, and the eyes of the long beard were extremely fierce, not at all like his usual gentle and calm. When the sword landed, it only made a very slight sound, and the bamboo leaves fell too much, covering the original land, and even the quality of the ground changed.

"You don't deserve to see Kunlun. ”

The long beard sucked up the sword with internal force, controlled it to stab at his master, straight into his chest, blood gushed out, the long beard felt a chill on his face, and a dull "Kunlun" came from the dark night, and the man spit out these two words and swallowed.

Back at his quarters, the blood on the bearded man's face was even more vivid in the light, and the four samurai thought he was injured, so he shook his head and said only one word: "Let's go, keep an eye on it." ”

A night of unrest, danger can sneak inside at any moment. The four samurai watched more vigilantly for changes in the roof, doors and windows, and even the air. At dawn, they caught a spider hanging from the roof, as small as an ant, and the abdomen was blood-red, Tang Wuyi was very curious when he saw it, did this spider drink whose blood? The long beard said that it was the blood of the Gu technique, and it was also poison, and the spider listened to the control of the person who gave the Gu and injected the poisonous blood in the abdomen into the person's body, and the person would be poisoned and died.

"Then why can the spider live?" Tang Wuyi looked puzzled.

The bearded man glared at Tang Wuyi and did not answer his question. He took the lime water he had taken and poured it into the porcelain urn, and with a crackling sound, the spider in the urn turned into a pool of black blood.
