Everything was bleak, the yellow sand was long, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood, Ouyang He walked in a place full of corpses in confusion, and the sky was as red as a sea of blood as if it was about to swallow the entire earth. Ouyang He walked with his eyes blank, and when she saw a large banyan tree with lush foliage suddenly appear in the distance, and behind the tree was a spring scene, she couldn't help but speed up her pace. Suddenly, a bone-turned hand reached out from the ground and grabbed Ouyang He's feet, tripping her to the ground, and immediately after, one skeleton after another crawled out of the ground and roared towards Ouyang He. Ouyang He screamed and struggled to break free from the white bone hand that was clutching his feet, lifted the hem of his skirt and ran towards the big banyan tree. When she was about to arrive like a demon, the green scene behind the banyan tree and its back suddenly disappeared, and a large amount of black qi gushed out from all around and gradually converged into the image of a tiger-faced monster waving huge wings, and a pair of red eyes stared at Ouyang He. Ouyang He stopped, suddenly feeling that no matter how hard she tried her hands and feet, she couldn't move, and then, she turned her head and glanced in horror at the skeleton army behind her, and they rushed towards her one after another.

"Ahh Ouyang He sat up in horror, panting, and his heart was beating rapidly.

"Miss, what's wrong?" A maid on night duty outside the door knocked on Ouyang He's door in a panic after hearing the movement, and looked at Ouyang He who was sitting on the bed with her hands covering her face through the window paper on the door.

Ouyang He gradually came back to his senses after a little composure, looked at the worried maid standing in front of the door, and realized that he had had this nightmare that had been bothering him for a long time. "It's okay, I'm just having nightmares, it doesn't matter." Ouyang He said after stabilizing his emotions.

"Oh, don't worry, Miss, the little one is in the inner courtyard, Miss can call me if you need anything."

"It's okay, you go and rest, I'm really fine." Even after experiencing a nightmare, Ouyang He's tone of voice was still so gentle.

She lay down again, put her hand on her forehead, and thought back to the scenes in the dream just now, and inexplicably felt a sense of déjà vu. "Why, I have never seen these scenes in reality, especially the monster shrouded in black gas, that strong and suffocating sense of oppression, but now in retrospect, I have a feeling that I have personally experienced it before. What the hell is going on, who is me, where is I from, why is my mind filled with these chaotic but familiar fragments of memory. Ouyang He asked himself over and over again in his heart, but no one could answer his questions, even if he cared about his father-in-law, he had no way of knowing.

At this moment, the Yinshan Mountain Range, thousands of miles away from Yufeng Mountain Villa, was still covered in snow, and in the stone cave of one of the steep cliffs, a dusty urn vibrated suddenly without warning, and there was a gurgling sound in the collision between the bottom of the bottle and the stone table. A dark shadow who was meditating in the cave was awakened by the vibration sound, slowly stood up and picked up the urn bottle, looking at the black gas that was constantly oozing from the urn bottle, an evil and chilling smile flashed from the corner of his mouth: "Long time no see, old friend." ”

(The next day, in the Ya of the Taishou Mansion in Yuzhou)

"Yuzhou Taishou Zhou Xuan saw General Xuanwu Wei Gao Che, the general came from afar and worked hard all the way." Early in the morning, Yuzhou Taishou respectfully came to meet Gao Che, the general of the Xuanwu Wei Zhonglang who arrived last night.

"Zhou Taishou is also quite hard to manage this huge Yuzhou, let's not say more politely, Zhou Taishou is a smart person, why Xuanwuwei is here today, you should know in your heart, right?" Gao Che sat in the seat of the Taishou, only focusing on the map of Yuzhou City and its vicinity, and did not look at Zhou Xuan a few times.

"Oh, Xia Guan understands, as soon as Xia Guan received the message from the flying pigeon, he immediately went to the Yunsheng Martial Arts Hall to arrest Meng Yan. What is puzzling is that Meng Yan left the martial arts hall before that and has not found any trace of him until now. ”

"Oh? A 21-year-old boy who only knows how to embroider his legs with fists and fists escaped under the nose of your Yuzhou Mansion, and now he is telling me as if Meng Yan has evaporated from the world. If the emperor knew that Lord Zhou was so incompetent, you must know what the consequences were, right? ”

"Ah, the lower official is stupid, and I ask the general to forgive me," Zhou Xuan was so frightened that he fell to his knees, "The lower official has already sent someone to turn Yuzhou City upside down, and the officials of the Taishou Mansion are also monitoring the Yunsheng Martial Arts Hall all day, but they really haven't found Meng Yan's figure, unless... Unless he is no longer in Yuzhou, someone may be caught or rescued first. ”

"If that's the case, then I'm afraid that General Ben won't be able to keep Zhou Taishou's black gauze hat no matter what. I advise Taishou to think about it again, if there are any possible clues, try not to embarrass both of us so much. Goucher said in a flirtatious tone.

"This... As for other possible clues, oh, by the way, yesterday the officials found that there seemed to be a fight between gangs in the rivers and lakes on the outskirts of the north gate of Yuzhou, and ten people were killed on the spot, and the lower officials were not sure whether the fight was related to Meng Yan's disappearance. ”

"That's right," Goucher looked up and thought for a moment, "what important objects were left at the scene?" ”

"This... In fact, the officials didn't find anything, except for the corpses, only some weapons were left, but the officials were clumsy, and the officials couldn't find any useful clues from these weapons. ”

"Hmph, it seems that General Ben is really here today, you quickly present the weapon to General Ben to open his eyes, don't miss any of them!"

"Yes, yes, come on, quickly present the weapons found at the scene."

After a while, more than a dozen weapons in a box were lifted in front of Gao Che, in addition to ordinary knives and swords, an inconspicuous iron box attracted Gao Che's attention, so he picked it up and looked at it carefully.

"General, what's so wonderful about this little box?" Zhou Xuan looked at Gao Che suspiciously.

"Humph!" Gao Che stood up, walked to the compound with the iron box, and touched the mechanism on the left side of the box with the thumb of his right hand, and the front cover of the box suddenly opened, and the two discs covered with jagged teeth were quickly ejected, and then deeply embedded in a wooden pillar that supported the beams of the house.

"I see, the dragon slaying dart of the Wind Thunder Hall, I once saw this kind of secret weapon when I fought with the people of the Wind Thunder Hall, it is hidden in the sleeve on weekdays, once the meridians of the dart are broken instantly, it is better than the hidden weapon of the Tang Gate in Shuzhong. It seems that there is another way to catch this group of rats in the gutter. Gao Che smiled contemptuously, as if he had already prepared his next plan of action.

After a while, Gao Che led the other Xuanwu guards back to the station, and handpicked 100 martial arts masters to rush to Hezhou with him immediately.

"General, the information we obtained earlier said that the Fuxin Inn in Yuzhou City is the rudder of the Wind Thunder Hall, why don't you just raid there and rush to Hezhou?" A non-commissioned officer asked, somewhat confused.

"Heh, if I were them, after seeing the weapons including the dragon slaying dart being taken away by the government, even if they knew that this Taishou was a fool, they would definitely have some scruples about the actions that the government might take. Besides, for a martial arts gang of this size like Fenglei Hall, they must have been able to learn about Xuanwuwei's entry into Yuzhou through some means, and if they go now, they will probably have already gone to the empty building, and they may even startle the snake. ”

"What about Hezhou?"

"Since I can't get clues about Fengleitang in Yuzhou for the time being, why don't I go to Hezhou to try my luck and meet an old friend of mine, maybe there will be an unexpected gain."

After assembling his troops, Gotcher led his group of men and horses to gallop in the direction of Hezhou.

A man wearing a straw hat with a brim so low that he couldn't see his face clearly from the front drove a cow past the galloping group of men and horses, with a contemptuous smile on his lips, and thought to himself: "This guy really went to Hezhou as the master expected, and next, it's time to let Bai Lichen, the second master of the Wind and Thunder Hall, do some work for the master." ”

(At the same time, inside Yufeng Mountain Villa)

The bright sunlight shone through the thin window paper on Meng Yan's face, who gradually opened his eyes, Meng Yan moved his body, felt obviously better, slowly got up and put on his boots, pushed open the door and walked out of Liulixuan. The lotus pond in the villa also looks dreamlike under the embellishment of the sun, from time to time there are frogs jumping out of the water and sitting lazily on the lotus leaves, in the pavilion in the center of the lake, the guzheng is still lying there quietly, this scene reminds Meng Yan of a scene last night, and a warm current swells up in his heart again.

"Meng Gongzi, are you awake, are you feeling better?" When Meng Yan was still closing his eyes and feeling the fragrant lotus fragrance, Ouyang He also walked out of the door and walked towards Meng Yan.

"Oh, it's Master Ouyang, I feel like I've recovered a lot, I really thank Yufeng Villa for taking care of Meng." Looking at Ouyang He, who was dressed in a simple and elegant light blue off-the-shoulder palace dress, with long black hair that still looked beautiful and moving in the breeze, Meng Yan couldn't help but look shy while his heart was racing.

"Really? That's good, seeing that Meng Gongzi's complexion is indeed much better today, if Meng Gongzi still has something uncomfortable, he must tell me in time. Ouyang He still had that familiar and gentle smile.

"Well, okay, by the way, there is still a question lingering in my mind in the next few days, lingering, I don't know if I can ask Master Ouyang for advice."

"Well, please."

Meng was grateful to the owner of Ouyang Zhuang for saving his life, but Meng had never had any contact with the people of Yufeng Villa before, and only knew a little about Yufeng Villa from the rumors of the rivers and lakes. Meng really didn't understand, for a stranger like me who came from an unknown place, why did the owner of Ouyang Village treat me so well? ”

"Meng Gongzi's words are serious," Ouyang He shook for a moment, and then accentuated his tone a little, "The little woman also happened to pass by, and saw that Meng Gongzi was covered in injuries and was besieged by those vicious bandits, I believe that anyone with a little chivalrous heart will not sit idly by." And the person who injured you is called Yuan Qing, a well-known bully near Yuzhou, relying on the support of Fengleitang to do nonsense in the fish and meat township on weekdays, and our people have taught them many times in several villages and towns under Jinyun Mountain. Since Meng Gongzi will be besieged by them, he must also be retaliated against for preventing the thief from doing something bad, so the little girl should naturally come to the rescue. ”

"Well, what the owner said is right, they were once bumped into by me when they robbed the people on the street in Pingshou Town, so I taught them a lesson, but I didn't know that they were Fengleitang's subordinates." Meng Yan was a little surprised by Ouyang He's words, he didn't expect that a woman who seemed to have lived in the depths of the boudoir for a long time would have such chivalrous courage, it seemed that she still had a lot of things that he hadn't been able to understand.

"Well, originally Yuxin and they had some concerns before, but now it seems that my intuition is correct." Ouyang He's tone became much softer again.

"Uh-huh, I... Can I ask you another question? Meng Yan blushed a little and said, "You... Do you know martial arts? ”

"This..." Ouyang He's face was a little embarrassed, but soon put on a familiar smile again, "Master Meng, girls also have their own secrets, do you understand?" ”

"Oh, haha, it's abrupt, please ask Miss Ouyang for forgiveness, haha." The laughter of the two echoed beside the lotus pond, and the smiling face that could make people warm to the point of melting was also firmly imprinted in Meng Yan's heart at this moment.

"Miss, Aunt Wu has come back from Yuzhou, and she said that she has something urgent to tell Miss immediately." Yuxin hurriedly ran over and said to Ouyang He.

"Okay, Master Meng, you can walk around the village first, I have some things to deal with here."

"Well, okay, then send the girl down." Meng Yan bent over, then stared intently at Ouyang He's departing back, and only turned around and walked towards the Huxin Pavilion when she walked out of sight.
