The sky was full of black clouds, and the full moon flickered. Next to the courtyard wall is a green bamboo forest, which is swept by the wind and shakes.

He got into the bamboo forest, stepped on the Taihu Lake stone in the corner, climbed the wall, and turned it up vigorously, then dexterously crossed the wall and landed steadily in the garden of the West Chamber.

Although his legs are close to the disabled and he can't travel far, but relying on the effect of the "Huo Luo Dan" and the Qingcheng School light body kung fu taught by his uncle, these movements are also done in one go, which is quite light.

Xu Xuan looked up at the wall up to more than a zhang, secretly proud in his heart, tied the gourd filled with "daughter red" tightly, pinned it on his back, and was about to run along the peach grove under the wall, towards the west wing, when he suddenly heard the "swish" sound of the forest leaves, and two figures swept over the bamboo forest like lightning, and then stopped suddenly, swaying up and down on the bamboo branches, looking left and right.

The moonlight shone on the two people, one was dressed in white like snow, and his beautiful face seemed to be covered with frost, and the other was encouraged by green clothes, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, and the autumn waves were smart. It was the two Xiaoqing who met during the day.

Xu Xuan was overjoyed, and before he could open his mouth, the two of them suddenly flew away to the west like lightning. His heart moved, yes! They must have been worried that there would be too many people during the day, and they would be embarrassed to go to the old site of Wuchen'an to make a wish, so they took advantage of the middle of the night to go.

He was tired of his legs since he was a child, trapped at home, and had very few friends of the same age, although there were many family members and servants, but all of them were flattering, and they were afraid of hurting his body, so it was not fun to play. Therefore, in addition to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and chatting for self-entertainment, he often forced Tie Jiu to secretly take him out of the house and Qiao Hua to play. However, once the new friends he made found out that his legs were disabled, he was either distant, or overly sympathetic and cared for, which made him feel bad in every way.

Only Xiaoqing and the man in white sincerely admired his piano skills, and did not regard him as a monster at all, making him feel the happiness of treating each other as equals for the first time in his life, so he regarded these two as confidants in his heart and wanted to become close friends with them.

At this time, seeing them go to the old site of Wuchen'an to make a vow, they almost didn't think about it, so they immediately picked up the gourd on their backs and turned around and ran towards the mountains and forests outside the garden wall in the west.

The Garden of Mercy and Grace was built by Xu Zhengting to commemorate the Cheng family, surrounded by mountains and lakes, adjacent to the medicinal plantation garden of "Renji Hall", covering an area of nearly 1,000 acres.

Out of this courtyard, surrounded by dense towering ancient trees, not to mention outsiders, even the family members of "Renjitang" and the guys of the pharmacy do not dare to trespass on their own, for fear of getting lost.

Xu Xuan grew up in this garden since he was a child, and he didn't know how many thousands of times he went up and down, and he wouldn't go wrong with his eyes closed.

After he ate the "Huo Luo Dan", his qi and blood were excited, his spirit was vigorous, he ran fast and steadily, and after a while, he had climbed over two walls, passed through several shortcuts, and came to the deserted old temple mountain forest.

The hillside is full of strange ancient cypresses, old locusts, mixed with many unnamed giant trees, branches and leaves cover the sky layer by layer, the day has been indescribable dark and gloomy, at this time even more can not see the five fingers, only when the wind blows, leaking the moonlight, mottled and flickering. Walking through it, I always feel as if someone is blowing on the back of my neck over and over again, laughing weirdly.

Rao is bold and bold, and he can't help but have goosebumps all over his body. Unscrewed the gourd at the moment, poured a few sips of hot wine into his throat, calmed down, and continued to grope forward.

Although the "Huoluo Dan" is magical, it can only last for one hour. He walked for a long time in the rugged and dark mountain forest, panting, and his legs gradually began to ache and tingle again.

Just as I wanted to sit down and rest for a while, I suddenly heard a scream like a ghost's cry, a flock of birds flew away, the wind roared, and the whole forest surged violently like a stormy wave.

Xu Xuan's heart sank, and he hid between two boulders.

The bird's voice was terrible and terrifying, and countless black shadows flashed rapidly above the shadow cover. Dozens of birds seemed to panic, and one after another crashed into the branches and fell into the grass, and one of them landed right at his feet, flapping its wings and struggling, and in the blink of an eye it stopped moving.

Xu Xuan touched the bird's corpse, and his hair was straight.

The bird's body was cold and stiff, and a thin layer of ice had condensed on its claws and wings, and it seemed to have frozen to death in an instant. Turning his head, nearly a hundred birds and finches died densely on the ground, all of them freezing and dying. Shocked and suspicious, I don't know what happened.

Before he could think about it, another gust of wind blew in his face, and a dark shadow seemed to pass overhead like lightning. He breathed heavily, his whole body stiffened, and a thin layer of frost suddenly condensed on his eyebrows. If it weren't for the medicinal power of the "Huoluo Pill" still there, I was afraid that it would be frozen into ice stones in an instant.

His heart sank suddenly: "Could it be that I met a monster?" Suddenly, there was a sound of "clucking" behind him, and when he turned his head to look back, his soul was scattered, and he almost screamed.

One hand!

A pale and stiff hand came out of the grass!

The five fingers of that hand were curled, so dry that only a thin layer of skin was left on the bone, and with each flexion and extension, the knuckles "gurgled" and crunched, as if they were about to break.

It grabbed the rock beside it, and seemed to be holding it up, and then there was a muffled "bang", and a few steps away, it broke through the ground and stretched out a claw to hold down the grass. Then, between these two claws, a miserable white head slowly popped out.

The skull was shriveled, like the two claws, as if all the flesh had been sucked dry, except for the skeleton. The white and black eyeballs slowly turned in the deep sunken eye sockets, and when they glanced over Xu Xuan, they suddenly stared at each other, baring their white teeth, and let out a low roar in their throats.

Xu Xuan's cold hair straightened, holding his breath, and he didn't dare to move. At this time, they were only three feet away, and they could even feel the cold and smelly snort of the skeleton spitting on their bodies. The terrifying feeling, like a nightmare, is so real.

The skeleton stared at him for a moment, as if it could not detect the breath of a living man, and then slowly turned its head with a low growl, and continued to emerge from the dirt little by little.

Xu Xuan was relieved, but he still didn't dare to exhale in his mouth. Just as he was holding back his chest and lungs, there was another sound of horses' hooves in the southeast, and the six horsemen rushed towards this place at a gallop.

The first person said: "Zhang Daguan is a little restless, after this hillside, it is the old site of the dustless hermitage." Wait for the villain to arrange and stop, as long as the two rabbits dare to come, they will be called like turtles in an urn, and there will be no return. ”

I heard another person "hum" and said, "What Zhang has taken a fancy to has never been able to get his hands on." You all give me a good sense of spirit, even if I wait here for three days and three nights, I am not allowed to blink an eyelid! The rest of the crowd was amazed.

Xu Xuan's heart was shocked, and the person who came turned out to be Zhang Zongyi! For a while, I didn't know whether to be shocked, angry, or funny. This guy is really cowardly, and he is doing nonsense! During the day, he was shocked back by the iron ninety-one oar, and he thought that he should also retreat from the difficulty, but who knew that the thief's heart did not die, and he led people to enter the mountains and forests in the middle of the night, and waited for the rabbit, and he would want to get Xiaoqing and then quickly.

The six horsemen came very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they swept over the hill and rushed head-on.

The skeleton didn't know whether it was enraged, or if it was happy to see the hunt, it suddenly raised its head and roared.

When the full moon was in the sky, the scene was extremely strange when it looked at the half of the white bones and white teeth that came out of the soil in the forest. The six horses neighed in fright, stood tall and kicked their hooves, almost throwing Zhang Zongyi and the others off their horses.

When everyone saw the skeleton, their faces changed, they screamed in surprise, and in a panic, they raised their whips and turned their heads to flee for their lives.

The skeleton rushed to the ground, and swooped down on the back of a fat man like lightning, and bit him in the neck, and the fat man let out a terrible scream, trembling wildly, and the fat body instantly dried up, fell off the horse, and shrunk into a small ball.

The skeleton didn't stop at all, and immediately flew up again, pounced on the second person, concocted according to the law, bit his neck, and instantly sucked him dry.

The first time Xu Xuan saw such a terrifying thing, his scalp was numb, his hair stood on end, and his whole body seemed to freeze and motionless.

Zhang Zongyi and the others were even more heartbroken, spurring their horses, running wildly, and constantly shouting: "Help, zombie ghost!" There are zombies! ”

But the zombie ghost was as fast as lightning, and the rabbit fell and fell, and in the blink of an eye, he had already knocked down five people, turned around, pulled up, and rushed down towards the head of the ya.

Zhang Zongyi screamed and drew his sword and slashed, but was picked up by the zombie ghost and thrown out of the air, crashing into the grass in front of Xu Xuan impartially.

Seeing Xu Xuan, he was like a person on the edge of a cliff who grabbed a life-saving straw, struggling to crawl up, communicating with tears, and calling for help.

Xu Xuan's heart softened, although this person is arrogant and lustful, he is also a human life, how can he not save him when he sees death? Seeing that the zombie ghost roared and flew towards him again, he gritted his teeth, snatched the long sword from Zhang Zongyi's hand, turned over and slashed at the zombie ghost's leg.

This move is the "Clear Spring Between the Stones" of Qingcheng Iron Sword Gate, and it is also one of the fourteen sword tricks passed on by Cheng Zhongfu. Cheng Zhongfu knew that this nephew was nosy, for fear that his legs would be disabled and he would be bullied outside, so he secretly passed on his fourteen sword tricks.

Although these swordsmanship may seem simple, they cover the essence of the Iron Sword Gate, which is quick and unpredictable. The most important thing is that the sword does not hurt the enemy's vital points, but is only used for self-protection.

Xu Xuan learned these fourteen swords, was overjoyed, and practiced day and night. He is extremely intelligent and can understand everything, but his physical qualifications are too poor, his meridians are blocked, and he has no true qi, so although his moves are sharp and precise, his lethality is greatly reduced. Fortunately, "self-protection without hurting others" happened to be Cheng Zhongfu's original intention of privately passing on his swordsmanship, and for more than a year, Xu Xuan had been fighting unevenly outside, relying on these fourteen sword tricks, but also scared off many wicked people.

At this time, life and death are at a risk, and the face is an extremely fierce zombie, and the usual flamboyance is naturally very different. Fortunately, he gathered all his strength, and the zombie ghost was as fast as lightning, and with a "click", the blade of the sword instantly slashed into the knee bone of the zombie ghost.

Xu Xuan's right arm was numb, and the tiger's mouth was even more shocked to the point of blood flowing, and the long sword was suddenly taken off.

The zombie was stunned, looked down at the long sword embedded in his lap, the whites of his eyes rolled, looked at him again, suddenly bared his teeth and roared, and suddenly rolled over and threw himself on his back, biting his neck.
