Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Flames
"Follow this forked path for a few more miles, and you will reach the Seven Eyes Peak. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Road?" Following Ah Cai's guidance, Ouyang Xiaoyi opened his eyes wide and carefully distinguished, and found that on the edge of an inconspicuous corner next to the main road, an overgrown snake path had indeed branched out, winding towards the dark mountain shadow in the distance. Just now, everyone galloped for half an hour in the dim night, paying only attention to the road in front of them, and almost missed this fork in the road that was buried in the reckless weeds; Fortunately, Ah Cai is more eye-catching, and he spoke out in time to stop everyone, otherwise he would have taken the wrong road in vain.
So, everyone changed their direction and drove their horses along the serpentine path to Qimu Mountain.
The weeds of the path grew tall and luxuriant, and even though they were trampled by the hooves of twenty horses, they still stood up stubbornly, and dragged the horses one after the other, hindering the progress of the people.
"Ah Cai...... Is this place rarely visited? Is the person we're looking for really being chased here? Lin Xinyin looked at this path where the weeds reached half a waist and were obviously rarely crowded, and she only felt that the more she moved forward, the more doubtful she became, and the discomfort in her heart was also expanding hundreds of times.
"I haven't seen it with my own eyes...... But that was what Brother Long secretly revealed to me, so he shouldn't lie to me. Ah Cai racked his brains to recall Brother Long's instructions to him: if he was mistreated so much that he couldn't stand it, he could only explain the key information of Qimu Zhang's whereabouts.
But he wasn't mistreated. At most, they are threatened, and more often they are ...... Seduction (seduction, to be precise)...... Then it was all confessed, Ah Cai blushed again when he thought of this, and hurriedly used an emphasis to hide his panic: "Well, that's right, that's it!" Brother Long's information came from the big boss of the gang, so he shouldn't be wrong. ”
"Oh......" Lin Xinyin replied absentmindedly and fell silent.
Ouyang Xiaoyi didn't speak, just quietly observed the surrounding environment. By the light of the moon, which re-emerged from the clouds, I could barely see the majestic main peak in the distance, towering between the mountains like a dragon's head that stood proudly. Nearby, the path ahead, surrounded by lush trees, gradually increased, and once it seemed like a cluster of shadows in the dark night, but now it looked like clusters of ghost claws in the moonlight. The original crisp sound of horses' hooves was drowned out in the weeds under the hooves, and only the sound of the wind like teeth and claws echoed around, eroding everyone's hearts like a ghost.
"The highest mountain in front of you is the main peak of Qimu Mountain, I heard that when you climb the highest peak, you can visually see the six small peaks around you......" Seeing Ouyang Xiaoyi staring at the mountain peaks in the distance for a while, Ah Cai hurriedly made a joke, trying to ease the cold atmosphere, but Ouyang Xiaoyi did not respond to him.
After saying a few words to himself, seeing that the people around him were all preoccupied, Ah Cai had to fall into silence.
……
It has been two miles, the road is no different, the wind and waves are calm, and the surroundings are so quiet that only the sound of the wind and the sound of stepping on the grass remains. On a sunny day, when the breeze blows downstream, you may feel a feeling of relaxation and happiness, but in the current environment of the dark night and lonely moon, the cold wind blowing on the face will only bring a sense of uncertainty and depression.
Ouyang Xiaoyi, who was riding at the forefront of the team, used his ears, nose and eyes together, trying his best to find any unusual clues in this seemingly harmonious environment.
There was a faint smell of blood wafting by, almost submerged in the breeze, but it was still caught by Ouyang Xiaoyi.
"What's wrong?" As soon as Ouyang Xiaoyi stopped, the entire team stopped, and Ling Yueyuan, who was behind Ouyang Xiaoyi, asked puzzledly.
"There's an anomaly." Ouyang Xiaoyi turned over and dismounted, and after lifting Ah Cai down by the way, he walked through the grass and walked towards the shadow of the tree. For him, the anomaly was the clue he was looking for.
When Ouyang Xiaoyi got closer, the corpses of two black-clothed men lying on different sides came into view.
"Is it someone from Drifting Cloud Residence?" Everyone stepped forward, and Lin Xinyin was the first to ask.
"It could be a dark whistle." Ouyang Xiaoyi nodded, and looked down carefully: the faces of these two people were distorted, and their expressions were almost the same as Brother Long's: they seemed to be killed by a single move under the stunned and unexpected, the difference was that one person's throat was pierced with a bloody hole, and the other was pierced through the temple.
Ouyang Xiaoyi was secretly surprised: the method of the person who attacked this attack was very ruthless, and it seemed that he was the same person as Cheng Junlin, who killed Brother Long, but the wounds of these three corpses were all in different locations, and the only thing in common was the blood hole the size of a pinhole and the panicked death, it seemed that the killer didn't want to leave too many traces of tricks to follow...... Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Cheng Junlin did it, why did he have to come here to kill people? Isn't Lan Cui'er in a hurry?
These details puzzled Ouyang Xiaoyi, but then he thought of another question, so he asked Ah Cai: "Do you know the specific location of the main force of Piaoyunju in Qimu Mountain?" ”
"Uh...... I don't know ......" Ah Cai spread his hands helplessly. He wasn't even a small soldier, so how could he know such a specific thing.
These seven peaks are not a small place just by looking at them from a distance, isn't it tantamount to looking for someone in a haystack? Ouyang Xiaoyi, who was secretly worried, carefully examined the corpse again: he found that the corpse was still warm, and there was no large area of corpse spots, and he may have just been dead for about half an hour, and after thinking for a while, he had some thoughts: "Maybe someone who knows will come soon." ”
"What......?" Before everyone could react, Ouyang Xiaoyi suddenly put his right index finger to his lips and sighed, and his left hand signaled everyone to be silent.
In front of the path, two more black-clothed people hurried in the dark night, and came to the place where everyone had fallen off their horses, and when they saw five ownerless horses, they were all stunned, but even when they reacted, they saw one person turn his head to the other person and say something, and then the person who was instructed immediately turned around, as if he wanted to pull his legs back.
Don't miss the moment!
Ouyang Xiaoyi, who was lurking in the shadows of the trees, flew through the grass like a gust of wind, ran to the back of the man in black who was about to retreat, and broke the man's backbone with a punch before the sound of the wind stopped! And in the moment before the person's body fell to the ground, Ouyang Xiaoyi had turned around suddenly, and the iron finger of his left hand clasped the throat of the remaining person.
"Who? What for? Ouyang Xiaoyi relaxed his fingers slightly, allowing the other party to speak.
"Floating...... Drifting Cloud House, change ...... Shift stalking......" The man in black who was held by the throat was terrified, and squirmed his lips with difficulty to spit out a few words.
"Where are all your guys?" Ouyang Xiaoyi secretly tightened his fingers again.
I said...... Don't kill me......" Sensing the threat of death, the much more timid man in black quickly begged for mercy.
Ouyang Xiaoyi nodded quietly.
"The main peak of the Seven Eyes Peak...... Moon Observatory ......"
"Okay." Ouyang Xiaoyi slowly let go of his left finger.
The man in black breathed a long sigh of relief, and at the same time his heart began to secretly rejoice, causing his face to unconsciously show a hint of a dark smile, but this smile did not last more than half a cup of tea before it turned into an expression of horror, pain, and remorse.
Because with a muffled sound, Ouyang Xiaoyi's right fist had already hit his chest, shattering his heart.
Ouyang Xiaoyi turned sideways and let the black-clothed man with a complicated expression collapse straight forward and fall to the ground, and after his body spasmed for a while, he stopped moving.
"Sorry, I lied." Ouyang Xiaoyi coldly threw down a sentence, which should be a funeral gift for the man in black, and then turned to look at Ah Cai: "Ah Cai, how to go to the moon platform?" You get the idea. ”
Ah Cai hadn't reacted from his astonishment, so he could only reluctantly nod.
"Well, let's continue to lead the way." Ouyang Xiaoyi nodded, stepped over the grass and approached, grabbing Ah Cai and walking towards the horses that were stuck on the road, as if Ah Cai was the compass in his hand.
Lin Xinyin silently followed, turned over on her horse, and looked at the corpse of the black-clothed man on the ground nearby, as if she had overturned the seven-flavor bottle: she remembered the night when the black-clothed man attacked Huadu at night, and at that time, she was soft-hearted, causing Ye Youyou to let go of the surviving Piaoyunju gang, but it also exposed the whereabouts of Ye Youyou and Su Ruoyun, causing follow-up trouble. On the other hand, this time, Ouyang Xiaoyi killed the killer without the slightest hesitation, maybe this is the most beneficial way for his own people, right? Isn't there a saying that kindness to one's enemies is cruelty to oneself, but why do you have to kill to protect yourself...... Could this man in black, who seems to be more timid, also be the same type of person as Brother Long......?
"Xiaoyin, let's go." Ling Yueyuan, who rode past Lin Xinyin's side, raised her hand and patted her shoulder, bringing her mind back to reality: "Look, they're all about to go away." ”
Lin Xinyin came back to her senses, saw that Ouyang Xiaoyi and the three of them had gradually walked away, and after saying "um", she waved the reins and followed Ling Yueyuan to quickly follow.
……
====================
At that time, the main peak of Qimu Ridge, at the foot of the mountain.
"If you go further up, you can only climb the mountain, and the moon platform is on the mountainside." Ah Cai pointed to a winding and steep path up the mountain, and said to the people who had dismounted, "This small mountain road can't ride horses......
Ouyang Xiaoyi looked down the mountain along the path, only to feel that it was black, as if there was no end in sight. Before, I could see the outline of the main peak from afar, but now when I am nearsighted, I can only see a narrow and steep mountain road, and it will not be a mile into the shadows of the dark mountain forest trees.
I had no choice but to climb up the mountain on two legs. So, Ouyang Xiaoyi and the others began to tie the reins of the horses to the trunks of the trees below the mountain. After tying up the horse, Ouyang Xiaoxin took out an unknown sharp weapon and drew two marks on the tree, as if he was making some signs.
"Well, since we have reached the Seven Eyes Peak, then let's ......" Ah Cai turned around in a chic manner, and was about to wave goodbye to everyone, but unexpectedly, the words "there will be a period later" have not yet been exported, and the collar of the placket has been firmly grasped.
"Where do you want to go?" Ouyang Xiaoyi's cold voice came from behind Ah Cai, and he couldn't help but shiver from the cold.
"Huh? Didn't you say, when you get to Qimu Mountain, you ...... "Ah Cai was shocked: Could it be that he has no use value, just like those people he has seen before, and he wants to be clicked off ......?"
"It's to the moon platform. You're not done yet. Ouyang Xiaoyi's tone became more and more cold.
"Uh......" Ah Cai was so sad that he couldn't speak: Isn't that going to die......
"Xiaoyi...... Isn't it too dangerous to let Ah Cai go up the mountain with us? Lin Xinyin felt unfair for Ah Cai: "He's just a child." ”
"This mountain is too big, no one will lead the way, let alone ......" Ouyang Xiaoyi glanced at Lin Xinyin, and said his reason without hurrying: "Our horses are tied to the bottom of the mountain." ”
"Ah Cai is not the kind of person who can steal horses, right? He doesn't know how to ride a horse! Lin Xinyin was a little angry: she now felt that Ouyang Xiaoyi was simply an unreasonable iron bump, even if what he said was right, what he thought was reasonable, and what he did was right, but that cold and ruthless attitude, tone and way of behaving were annoying!
Ah Cai was very grateful, but his face suddenly turned red, and his eyes looked at Lin Xinyin with excitement and guilt: Sister Yin, you are so good...... But I did have that idea just now, even though I don't know how to ride a horse...... But I swear I just thought about it, and I wouldn't actually steal horses......
"Whatever it is, we just need him to lead the way now." Ouyang Xiaoyi did not respond to Lin Xinyin strongly, and after avoiding her words lightly, he turned around and escorted Ah Cai forward, pushing him up the mountain like a duck.
"Ah......" Lin Xinyin stood stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward, seeing that she couldn't stop Ouyang Xiaoyi's stubbornness, she had to apologize to Ah Cai: "I'm sorry, Ah Cai, I want you to accompany us on an adventure......"
"It's okay, I'm used to it anyway......" Ah Cai sighed helplessly, and then turned to explain the aftermath to Lin Xinyin with a sad face: "Anyway, this is my life...... Sister Yin, if I accidentally hang up...... You must go to Wuhua Town for me and Brother Long to dig out the Zhuang ticket under the floor of Brother Long's house, exchange it and bury us well...... By the way, I didn't know that the ticket was hidden under that floor, you might have to pry all the floors out to find out...... I'm dizzy, I don't know what to say about the location of Brother Long's home, I want to think about it...... If you really can't do it, when you enter the town and see a dilapidated house where no one lives, just kick in the door and tear down the floor......"
"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Xinyin couldn't cry or laugh: What is this Ah Cai used to.
……
The journey up the hill was much smoother, with no outposts or ambushes, except for the occasional small mound of dirt near the roots. But Ouyang Xiaoyi checked a few places, but found that it was indeed just an ordinary mound, but I don't know what the sign or code is. But this will really have no time to figure out what its intentions are, so Ouyang Xiaoyi didn't care about the small mound of dirt that he saw again, but continued to go up the mountain patiently.
After climbing along the mountain road for a long time, after coming out of a dark wood, suddenly the vision suddenly opened up.
I saw a flat and vast mountain stone platform in front of me, at the end of the stone platform stood a natural steep huge wall, and there were other mountains and forests around the wall, and if you continue to walk through, you should continue to climb to the top; If you look down from the sky, this smooth stone platform seems to have been formed by the construction site of nature, which is spectacular.
Lin Xinyin and the others were already a little tired from climbing the mountain, and when they saw that there was such a neat and magnificent stone platform, they unconsciously came out of the mountain forest and stood in this open space without the slightest shade.
It is rare that the vision is no longer limited, Lin Xinyin looked up at the night sky, only to see the moon shining like water, and the bright moonlight poured on this bright stone platform, flooding with waves of silver light, and suddenly it seemed to envelop everyone in a holy light, dazzling and abnormal.
It's just that this light is too dazzling to be a little out of place.
Ouyang Xiaoyi was the first to react, this was not a halo of holiness, but a mark of the enemy!
"Go back to ......" Ouyang Xiaoyi was about to remind everyone to retreat to the mountains and forests to watch the situation, but before the words fell, an unfamiliar voice came out from the woods under the mountain wall.
"The night is like a wash, the moon and stars are scarce, it is rare to come to a good place to enjoy the moon, why don't you stay for a while."
Lin Xinyin recognized this tone, and when she followed the prestige, she saw Bu Qianjian walking out of the shadows and standing on a stone platform five zhang away from her.
Coming out with Bu Qianjian, there was also a tall man in Tsing Yi with a thin face, Lin Xinyin had never seen this person, and she didn't know where it was, but fortunately, she didn't see Yu Jianwen, Lu Xiaoying, or Mo Feichen present, and it seemed that the current situation was not the worst.
Then, about dozens of people armed with various weapons came out one after another, surrounding Lin Xinyin and the others from a distance.
The comers are not good.
"I'm in an ambush, let's dig out the guys." Ouyang Xiaoyi whispered to everyone.
So, Ouyang Xiaoling and Ouyang Xiaoxin respectively took out their weapons, put on a combat posture, and Ouyang Xiaoyi back-to-back, each staring in one direction to prevent the enemy's sneak attack.
"Medium...... Ambushed? Wrong...... Brother Long won't lie to me......" Ah Cai muttered in disbelief, his first thought was not how to escape, but whether Brother Long was hiding something from him.
"He didn't lie to you." Ouyang Xiaoyi glanced at Ah Cai, knowing that he was not deliberately pretending to be stupid, but the next sentence still sent him into the abyss: "I just didn't tell you that this was a trap." ”
"No...... No, it won't! Ah Cai almost collapsed, and shouted hoarsely, but he was so powerless.
"It's okay, Ah Cai." Lin Xinyin had summoned the Ye Mei Sword with her right hand, and patted Ah Cai's shoulder with her free left hand: "We know that you didn't lie to us." This sentence pulled Ah Cai a little, but it still didn't make him come back to his senses from his muttering.
"That's it, we're here, don't be afraid." Ling Yueyuan approached Lin Xinyin as he spoke, feeling quite nervous in his heart: his red flame had not yet been tested in actual combat, so he didn't know what the power was? Will it be enough to protect him and Xiaoyin from the encirclement? After all, now there is not Ye Youyou by his side to give advice as before, everything can only be relied on himself.
……
Compared with the stern waiting of Lin Xinyin and the others, Bu Qianjian looked calm, as if the opponents in front of him were all unarmed lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and after staring at Lin Xinyin and Ling Yueyuan for a moment, he said slowly: "I didn't expect to see two of you here?" As the saying goes, meeting is fate, everyone is so fateful, why bother to meet each other? Tonight, the moon hangs in the blue sky, and the moon is thousands of miles, it is better to meet friends with texts, and to sing about wine, wouldn't it be more beautiful......"
"Where is Su Ruoyun?" Ouyang Xiaoyi was farting with a thousand blades, his eyes swept over the bright swords, guns and murder weapons that were ten times more than his own in Piaoyunju on the opposite side, and snorted coldly, not wanting to talk more nonsense with a thousand blades, so he directly threw out the key question.
"This young man is really direct, I don't know who Su Ruoyun is?" Bu Qianjian was still in the mood to laugh.
"Hangzhou Ouyang family, Ouyang Xiaoyi." Ouyang Xiaoyi's face was pale, and his tone became heavier, but he didn't answer the question.
"Oh~~~~~~" Bu Qianjian exaggeratedly dragged out a long tone, and his tone was full of banter: "Piaoyunju and the Ouyang family have been married!" So we're a little bit related, right? Maybe going back eight lifetimes, we are still a happy family! ”
These words exploded like thunder one after another in the hearts of Ouyang Xiaoyi, Ouyang Xiaoling and Ouyang Xiaoxin, and the faces of the three of them quickly turned pale.
Ouyang Xiaoyi's eyes were bloodshot with hatred, his teeth were clenched, and his fists "gurgled", if the other party was only Bu Qianjian alone, he would have rushed forward to beat the other party into meat sauce, but now that the enemy is outnumbered, he can only try his best to maintain his sanity, suppress his impulses, and try his best to ignore the other party's provocation: "Where is Su Ruoyun?" ”
Bu Qianjian smiled and looked at Ouyang Xiaoyi, who was angry and almost hungry, for a long time, before he spoke quietly, his tone was so quiet that he seemed to be telling a bland story.
"The two of them were caught by us in the morning, so they should also be escorted to the Right Protector, right? It's just that they were all poisoned, and they had another day of turmoil, and now I don't know if they are dead or alive...... Originally, this trap was prepared to catch the remaining two mice, but I didn't expect three more to come, and it was really not so cost-effective to buy one get one free. ”
Suddenly, as if they were struck by a thunderbolt, Lin Xinyin and Ling Yueyuan were so shocked that they even trembled unconsciously, looking at each other but unable to say anything.
"Calm down, don't be gullible." Ouyang Xiaoyi was also shocked by this bad news at first, but after calming down, he was full of doubts, so he whispered to comfort the people who were almost distracted: "This is all said by that person himself, who knows if it is true or false?" Don't let him distract you! ”
"That'...... Now what? Although Lin Xinyin came back to her senses, her mind was still blank and she couldn't arouse any ideas.
"Now the clues are all broken, and Ruoyun is in danger but nowhere to be found...... Now that the enemy is outnumbered and the strength is disparity, we can only try to return to Fuzhou first and then consider it......" Although Ouyang Xiaoyi really wanted to capture the Thousand Blades and ask carefully, first of all, this is simply impossible, and secondly, even if he asks about the whereabouts of the so-called Right Protector, is he enough to rely on his current manpower? It's better not to waste time, and it's best to return to Fuzhou early to report for help!
"The problem now is to escape from this trap first, and then ......" Ouyang Xiaoyi didn't know if there were other traps that Bu Qianjian talked about, but he looked around, but saw that almost all the enemies were gathered in front, and his left and right and rear combined were no more than ten people, and it was unrealistic to fight hard, so it seemed that he could only break through the original way...... After thinking for a while, Ouyang Xiaoyi whispered to everyone about his deployment: "We are going to go back down the mountain the same way now...... The five people who stood in the way were solved by me and Xiao Ling, Xinyin and Yueyuan protected Ah Cai and followed, and Xiao Xin was responsible for breaking the back and helping us block the pursuers, understand?! ”
Lin Xinyin was stunned, she didn't know what tricks Ouyang Xiaoxin had, she only felt that it was too dangerous for her to break it alone: "That thousand-bladed secret weapon is a very powerful ......!" ”
"That's just right, let me see and understand." Ouyang Xiaoxin's face was fearless, and he responded to Lin Xinyin with a smile.
"What tricks does the man next to the Thousand Blades have?" Ouyang Xiaoyi paid attention to the man in Tsing Yi who had been carrying his hands behind his back, and always felt that he was an unpredictable variable.
"I don't know...... Haven't seen it before. Lin Xinyin replied truthfully.
"Forget it...... Are you all ready? Ouyang Xiaoyi didn't have time to investigate, whether it was a blessing or a curse would only be known later.
Everyone nodded.
"Let's go!"
As soon as the words fell, Ouyang Xiaoyi and Ouyang Xiaoyi jumped up and flew towards the five Drifting Cloud Residence gangs who were blocking the way!
The five people obviously didn't expect the comer to do it so quickly, and the one who reacted the fastest had just lifted the tiger head knife, and the shout of "Ahh......h Then the broken steps swept up a few dead leaves on the ground like the wind, and when the leaf catkins had not yet landed, the body had reached the front of the second person, and the two knives crossed like lightning, and the person's throat instantly had two knife marks several inches deep, and the blood spurted like a spring, but those blood stains did not touch the slightest bit of Ouyang Xiaoling's clothes, because at this time she had turned over and floated to other places, looking coldly at the weight of the two bodies that had no breath of life and fell heavily. At this time, Ye Fang landed.
At this time, Ouyang Xiaoyi had also taken action to solve the other three, his light body technique was not as good as Xiao Ling, compared with the ethereal and beautiful body style that was liked and valued by the vast majority of Ouyang family women, he obviously preferred the surging and strong fist strength. One of them was punched away by Ouyang Xiaoyi, and his body slammed into the tree behind him, and when his body slowly slid down the trunk of the tree and fell to the ground, the trembling branches shook off almost all the leaves, as if a new grave had been built for the corpse under him.
"Let's go!" Seeing that the battle to open the way was over, Lin Xinyin shouted at Ling Yueyuan unequivocally, dragged Ah Cai and immediately followed!
The five people who were surrounded on the left and right sides finally reacted and rushed forward! But before the thigh ran a few steps, it was nailed into the throat by five whistling silver lights, and suddenly the five people fell to the ground like five upside-down onions, but the lower half of their bodies still maintained a running posture.
The person who made the shot was Ouyang Xiaoxin. She doesn't like the Ouyang family's sword and fist, in addition to studying the body method, she also worships the masters of other sects to cultivate secret weapons, and now she has a small success.
"Hmph......" Bu Qianjian seemed to have a lot of opinions about Ouyang Xiaoxin's class axe, his face was pulled, and with a wave of his left hand, five silver lights immediately shot towards Ouyang Xiaoxin, followed by three silver lights, tearing the air, and at a faster speed, biting Lin Xinyin, Ling Yueyuan, and Ah Cai like a poisonous snake!
Ouyang Xiaoxin was startled, and hurriedly avoided all the murder weapons that came to him, and then he hurriedly urged his internal strength, and his right hand slammed down, and ten iron beads shot out suddenly, as if a net stopped the three hidden weapons that shot away. With a few green sounds, all the colliding hidden weapons had fallen to the ground, and at the same time, the five silver lights flashed by Ouyang Xiaoxin also "suddenly" nailed to the tree behind her.
Ling Yueyuan had just recovered from his fright, and suddenly became angry: This step Thousand Blades was listening to Yuting also intended to assassinate Lin Xinyin, and now he was concocting it to murder himself! Fortunately, Ouyang Xiaoxin blocked it! Extremely angry, he suddenly summoned the red flame with his right hand, and threw it in the direction of the mountain wall, and a fireball suddenly roared and pounced on the step thousand blades!
"A gift for you! You're welcome! Ling Yueyuan yelled.
Bu Qianjian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Ling Yueyuan to hide such a hand, and when he reacted, he turned sideways to avoid it, and the fireball had already landed beside him, almost burning his robe.
The man in Tsing Yi next to him, who had been silent, suddenly moved.
"Yueyuan, will you set fire?" Ouyang Xiaoxin was overjoyed, and hurriedly summoned Ling Yueyuan over: "Quick, come and help me break the queen!" ”
"Huh?" Ling Yueyuan was stunned for a moment.
"Quick, stop talking, set fire to those who are rushing to the front! Hit the ground in front of them! Ouyang Xiaoxin looked at the Drifting Cloud Residence gang that was getting closer and closer, and hurriedly ordered Ling Yueyuan.
"Oooh. That little voice, you go first. Ling Yueyuan said goodbye to Lin Xinyin for a while, and then according to Ouyang Xiaoxin's point, he shot a flame at the target.
When the flames were about to land, Ouyang Xiaoxin also shot out another hidden weapon, and as soon as the two fused, they immediately exploded like thunder! It exploded several gangs at once.
"Awesome, right? Come here, let's fight that step with a thousand blades! Ouyang Xiaoxin smiled playfully and continued to take out the hidden weapon. She found that Bu Qianjian didn't seem to be as powerful as Lin Xinyin said, otherwise how could she block his secret weapon ......? And he's been using only his left hand...... Is there something going on?
"Good!" Ling Yueyuan was naturally extremely happy, and hurriedly stepped forward, and with a wave of his right hand, several more flames shot out.
"Be careful, Xiaoyuan." After Lin Xinyin gave an order, she took Ah Cai to take the first step.
……
Boom Boom! Although Bu Qianjian avoided several explosions, his posture became more and more ugly.
At this time, the man in Tsing Yi finally spoke: "Will the Xuanwu envoy also have such an embarrassing time?" ”
"Hmph......" Bu Qianjian had a cold face, and a blood spot had appeared on his right upper arm, and the blood stains gradually increased with the intensification of his movements, which made him have to ask for help from the man in Tsing Yi next to him: "When do you have to wait, Qiuyang?" In a few moments they will all run down the hill, and you will have a bird to use in your array. ”
"Good. That kid can also use fire, which is more convenient. Qiu Yang chuckled, his hands were still behind his back, his steps moved, and his body rushed towards Ling Yueyuan and Ouyang Xiaoxin.
Ling Yueyuan and Ouyang Xiaoxin saw that the person was extremely fast, and immediately shot out flames and hidden weapons, but they only pierced the phantom, and in the blink of an eye, the man in green clothes had floated to the left side of Ling Yueyuan, about three zhang away.
"Damn...... Ling Yueyuan impatiently released several fireballs towards Qiuyang, but they only burned through the air, and seeing that the man in Tsing Yi was gradually approaching Lin Xinyin, he suddenly became anxious: "Xiaoyin!" ”
Lin Xinyin turned around in surprise, only to see that Qiuyang had approached her, but ...... He didn't make any moves, the wind drifted by, and then floated to Ouyang Xiaoyi and Ouyang Xiaoling.
A strange smell of gunpowder smoke echoed around Lin Xinyin, making her stunned for a moment. After she could react, Qiu Yang moved to the right side of Ling Yueyuan.
"Bastard!" Ling Yueyuan was already a little tired, panting and throwing a fireball again, but it only hit a small mound at the base of a tree, and suddenly, an explosion that was much more violent than the previous one shattered the night sky, and an even more rapid pillar of fire rose into the sky, greedily devouring the living creatures around it.
……?! Seeing that Qiuyang floated back to its original starting point, a strong sense of uneasiness occupied Lin Xinyin's heart: the small mound near here seemed to be obviously different from those under the mountain, could it be that the mound that Ouyang Xiaoyi had inspected was just a disguise? Thinking of this, Lin Xinyin subconsciously shouted: "Xiaoyuan...... Don't set it on fire just yet......! ”
"What...... Is it? Ling Yueyuan, who was already sweating profusely, turned his head in confusion and asked puzzledly, and in the palm of his right hand raised in front of him, Chi Yan spit out another fireball and shot at Qiuyang.
Too late.
At this time, it has been an hour since Lin Xinyin and others buried Brother Long and set off.
A smile appeared on the corner of Qiuyang's mouth, and he stretched out his hands that had been bearing behind his back, revealing a pair of dark and demonic gloves. I saw that as soon as he rotated his hands, he firmly caught the incoming fireball. This flame, which was originally as fierce as a tiger, was as docile as a sheep in his hands, but when he spread out his hands, the sheep immediately swelled several times, and turned into nine, tearing the air like a swift and ferocious nine-headed dragon, dragging a long tail flame and roaring to scatter to several mounds under the trees.
"Flame Dragonbound Array-"
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
Bursts of explosions screamed one after another, and the pillars of fire that rushed to the sky engulfed half of the sky, and the flames on the ground spread rapidly along the invisible traces, rising one after another walls of fire, separating and surrounding Lin Xinyin and the others in an instant.
If you look down from the sky, what kind of perfect image would this be? The nine fires follow their respective trajectories and draw a complete figure, like a five-pointed star imprinted into the circle. Yet, on closer proximity, the suffocating heat, the smoke that filled the night sky, the ubiquitous fire, and the unknown cries of the people drowned in the explosions, made for a hellish scene.
Qiuyang put his hands behind his back again, looking at the work of art he had created in front of him with satisfaction, and to him, the scream seemed to be a cheer for his masterpiece.
"Tsk, that's wonderful." Bu Qianjian stepped forward with his right arm covered, and praised him: "He is worthy of being a new flame envoy, better than your master." But he was very dissatisfied in his heart: he waited until he was almost ugly before he made a move, obviously wanting to restrain himself in front of the gangs......
"The Xuanwu envoy is not simple. Finally obtained the head of the valley dome cliff, and you can follow the explanation. Qiuyang replied: "Although the right arm is hung with color, it is returned to the pair of girls and escaped." ”
"Su Ruoyun should have been Mo Feichen's task, if you want to say that you are derelict in your responsibility, it will not be my turn." Bu Qianjian's face darkened, but he was still slightly relieved in his heart: Yesterday afternoon, the dark whistle came to report that Su Ruoyun and Ye Youyou were burying their bodies in the wild, although they finally escaped without a trace, but Gu Qiongya's corpse could not escape, and finally they did not return empty-handed. What's more, there is such a result tonight, although Lin Xinyin and Ling Yueyuan are not important figures, they can also make up the record.
"Hmm...... Having said that, the person named Ling Yueyuan is really a bit magical. Qiuyang accepted it when he saw it, and changed the topic: "Like me, making moves not only consumes internal strength, but also relies on some introductions, but he seems to be able to make moves out of thin air without needing anything." ”
"Hmph, it's a pity you killed him, otherwise you might have tortured him." Bu Qianjian didn't care about Ling Yueyuan and Lin Xinyin's life or death at all, although it was best to catch it alive if there was something from above, but for him, the corpse was the most obedient.
"It doesn't matter." Qiu Yang also didn't care: "As long as the power is used properly, the candle flame can also kill." Xuanwu envoy, I'm going back to Xiangnan to report, are you ready to call it a day? Anyway, it seems that the two groups of people you sent down the mountain to keep an eye on didn't come back in return. ”
"I guess they've all been killed, right? Anyway, their job is to bring people here. Bu Qianjian looked at the endless fire and snorted: "Can this fire stop if it hasn't burned for three nights and three days?" I don't have time to clean up the battlefield here, just leave a few people here, my task has been completed, and I have to go back to report, as for Su Ruoyun's girl, I will leave it to Mo Feichen and Lu Xiaoying to track down. ”
Qiuyang nodded and turned to leave. Bu Qianjian also began to explain some of the affairs of his subordinates.
Behind them, the fire spread so fast that it engulfed half of the mountainside in an instant. The relentless fire burns brightly, as if devouring all the hope of the world.

====================
"Hey, what's that? Well, one, two, three......"
Lan Cui'er, who was riding in the carriage, looked through the small window in the back of the carriage and looked at the dark mountain shadows behind her, and suddenly a few red lights appeared one after another.
"It's a wildfire." Cheng Junlin glanced back and continued to drive the horse.
"Three watches in the middle of the night, and there was no thunder and lightning, and the mountain fire came." Lan Cui'er lowered the curtains, and after thinking for a while, she said with a heavy heart: "Since entering Lianping Town, the road has become more and more unpeaceful...... King's Landing, are we being watched? ”
"Sooner or later." Cheng Jun waved the reins without looking back: "Especially after you saved these two women." ”
"Huh." Lan Cui'er looked down at the two women beside her, these two were older and younger, and they were suddenly Ye Youyou and Su Ruoyun that Lin Xinyin and the others were looking for! But at this time, they were all unconscious, especially Ye Youyou, whose face was pale, his brows were frowned, and his expression seemed to be extremely painful.
"I always feel a little karma with them, and I can't help but be a good person...... King's Landing, have all the outposts on that stretch of the road been resolved? Lan Cui'er reached out and stroked Ye Youyou's jade neck, gently took out the pendant hanging on it, and touched the green jade hooked by the pendant with her fingers, and suddenly there seemed to be an electric current flowing through her heart, and then, the jade that was originally green suddenly flashed a little purple light.
"Hmm." Cheng Junlin replied cleanly, his eyes still staring ahead.
"Unsettled, what a nasty feeling......" Lan Cui'er raised her hand and lightly supported her cheeks, pondered for a while, and said to Cheng Junlin: "After arriving in Wuhua Town, let's break up first, you take these two women to Yuepu to find the Xu Gang to get the antidote first, I will stay for a while, and then I will go." ”
"Okay." Cheng Junlin replied very simply
“……”
“……”
"Why don't you ask me what I'm staying for, King's Landing?"
"Is it necessary?"
"Isn't it necessary?"
"Okay...... What are you going to stay for? ”
"There are people and things that I care about. Don't tell you. ”
“……”
"You don't say anything about me being careful, staying safe, or anything like that."
“…… Is it necessary? ”
"Isn't it necessary?"
"There's no need."
"Tsk...... Heartless people. Lan Cui'er decided not to tease Cheng Junlin anymore, and instead smiled and said, "I will follow you soon, I also want to go and see the thousand-year-old ginkgo in Yuepu recorded in the "Sou Shen Zhi". ”
