A few days later, in the early morning, the sound of horses' hooves broke the tranquility of a lakeside courtyard on the shore of Dongting Lake. Dozens of surviving disciples of Ice Phoenix Valley, a few carriages for the wounded, and the group finally came to this temporary residence called "Yunmei Fang".

Although it looks a little dilapidated due to disrepair, standing outside the door and looking at this exquisite elegant garden made of blue bricks and green tiles, everyone can still imagine in their own minds what this place once looked like.

Among the crowd, only Chu Birou had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this courtyard, as if she herself had stayed here for a long time.

"Xia'er, lead everyone into the house to settle down, remember not to forget to arrange for disciples to be on guard!" Under Yu Zhongrui's advice, the group entered the courtyard one after another, and then everyone began to clean the furniture here.

There was only one old woman taking care of the place, and she saw that the injured Yu Zhongrui was still leading the people to clean up, so she also hurried forward to help.

"That mother-in-law seems to know a lot about this place, so let's take a chance to ask her about it." Chu Birou looked at the scenery in the courtyard and felt more and more kind, and she couldn't find a reason to convince herself where this feeling of déjà vu came from, so she planned to wait a while and ask the old woman for advice.

It was getting dark, and after days of exhausting flight, many people could no longer bear the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

"Well, when did you keep running away like this?"

In the corner of the small courtyard, several Ice Phoenix Valley disciples were gathering together to whisper, and such remarks had entered Chu Birou's ears many times along the way.

"What's wrong? Looking at the soul that is not giving up, do you start thinking about me after not seeing me for a day? Just as Chu Birou was looking at the few people in the corner thoughtfully, Gao Che suddenly came out from the side and said jokingly to Chu Birou.

"Heh, yes, I'm thinking about whether I'll give you gold sore medicine or bone erosion powder next." Chu Birou replied mischievously with a cold tone as always.

"It looks like morale is low right now, I've never dealt with this situation before when I was in Xuanwuwei." Goucher also seems to have some idea of the current situation.

Then he walked straight to the men in the corner, and chatted with them as if he were familiar with them, and then seemed to want to take them for a drink.

"Hehe, it's yours." Chu Birou felt a little crying and laughing at Gao Che's cynical posture.

It didn't take long for Chu Birou, who was sitting alone on a stone bench looking up at the starry sky, to notice that the old woman appeared in her field of vision. And Chu Birou, who was about to come up to talk to the old woman, was a little surprised by the old woman's next move.

"Ah, you are...... Young Lord! I saw that the old woman suddenly became shocked after seeing Chu Birou's face clearly, and then slowly knelt on the ground under the support of the broom, "Young master, the old body is sorry for you!" ”

"Hey, mother-in-law, please get up quickly, are you ...... Know me? Chu Birou quickly leaned down to help the old woman up, while carefully looking at and recalling the old woman's face.

The old woman was in a state of a bit of a trance afterwards, and from the words that kept muttering from her mouth, Chu Birou could roughly hear that the old woman was blaming herself for losing Chu Birou when she was young.

From the old woman's staccato description, Chu Birou gradually recalled that when she was about 5 years old, she had gone to the woods to get lost chasing butterflies, and was then taken back to her home by an old man who went up the mountain to chop wood. Later, she was almost taken away by a group of people who were looking for the old man to collect debts, but fortunately, Lan Yin happened to pass by and saved her.

"Are you...... Aunt Lian? Chu Birou blurted out this title without much thought, as if it was a name that she had always reflected in her mind since she was a child.

"The old man is cheap, don't dare to pollute the young master's ears!" The old woman's mood eased slightly, and Chu Birou immediately led her to sit down together.

The old woman then told Chu Birou that after she found out that Chu Birou was missing, she had traveled all over the world over the years to find news about Chu Birou, but she was only disappointed every time. She had returned to the Cloud Shop about a year ago, but it had already been bought by Ice Phoenix Valley, and she had only been given the opportunity to take care of the mansion after that.

"So, this was once the property of the Water Sky Pavilion?" Chu Birou looked around in some surprise.

"Yes, this is the courtyard built by your father Chu Pavilion Lord for your mother back then, and after the completion of this courtyard, it was named after your mother." The old woman covered Chu Birou's hand and said earnestly.

"And what is my mother's name?"

The old woman then told Chu Birou that his mother's name was Kong Yunmei, and she was the eldest lady of the Lingnan Kong family, who was prominent in the martial arts back then. And Kong Yunmei's brother is one of the former martial arts masters, Kong Yumei, the "nine-fingered sword ghost" in the "Four Uniques of Sword Casting".

Later, when Chu Birou asked about the causes and consequences of the destruction of Shuitian Pavilion back then, the old woman replied that she was just a subordinate who served Chu Birou's mother at that time, and she didn't care much about these gang affairs. It's just that in some fragments, she recalled that she had heard that Shui Tiange held a huge secret that could change the pattern of rivers and lakes, and this secret also made Shui Tiange a thorn in the side of some rivers and lakes for a long time. Based on this, the old woman had always speculated that the destruction of the Water Sky Pavilion might be related to this secret.

"Perhaps, only by going to the ruins of the Water Heaven Pavilion can I find some clues about the tragedy back then." Chu Birou said secretly in her heart.

"It's late at night, young master, go and rest, the old man has already told you everything he knows. Seeing that you have now grown into a slim girl, I believe that the spirits of the lord and the lady in heaven can also be comforted! After a long sigh, the old woman helped Chu Birou to the room where she lived.

"Here...... Does it smell like a mother? ......After lying on the bed, Chu Birou's mood couldn't be calm for a long time.

With the cold moonlight, the tears that burst out of her eyes soaked Chu Birou's pillow towel, this girl, who has always shown her calm and resolute, for the first time, vented her sincere feelings of longing for family warmth in her heart by crying bitterly.

On this night, although the situation was temporarily safe, many people still had trouble sleeping, and the situation of fleeing all the way was always worrying.

Everyone was expecting reinforcements to come and help them out of their predicament, but in this terrible situation, who would be willing to fight against the notorious beggars for their sake except to continue to wait for news from Tanzhou?

In the next two days, Liu Bing tearfully told Ouyang He something about her parents. It mentions that his father briefly studied under the Qingshan Firmament Palace, but because of his uninhibited personality, he often caused complaints from some brothers in the sect, so he left Qingshan and entered the Shu military camp after he passed the martial arts examination.

Liu Bing later went on to say that her own biological father was actually a well-known iron cast iron master in Chengdu, and because he often chose to send her to help send the built weapons to the barracks, she and Xuanyuan Ji met during that time.

"Speaking of which, at that time, he was not only excellent in martial arts, but also his literary talent would not be lost to ordinary literati and artists." Whenever Xuanyuan Ji is mentioned, Liu Bing's tears, which are usually as cold as frost, will reveal an innocent and subtle smile like a little girl.

After two days of rest, on the night of the third day, the uninvited guest finally arrived.

Four black-clothed men with different weapons sneaked past the night watch, and then came to the roof of the room where Liu Bing's tears were. After releasing a considerable dose of incense into the house, the two female disciples in the room passed out and fell to the ground, and the four of them immediately jumped down from the crack in the roof to find the Xiyuan Pearl.

After a few people searched for nothing, they prepared to take Liu Bing away after consulting with each other. And just as they were about to lift the quilt on the bed, the person lying on the bed suddenly sat up and threw a piece of white powder at them, and the sight of the four of them was greatly affected.

It turned out that it was Ouyang He who was lying on the bed at this time, and she originally temporarily exchanged rooms with Liu Bingxian for safety, but she didn't expect to really wait for the killer to visit.

Several people fought from inside the house to outside the house, and Ouyang He used his hands to fight against the four of them without falling behind, especially beating the one with the worst martial arts among the four to the point that it was difficult to parry. Then, seeing the right moment, she restrained the man, and shouted at the remaining three to tell them at once who had arranged for them to carry out the assassination, or she would take his life.

"They were arranged by me!" A voice suddenly came from one side of the roof, and then Chen Yutian and the "Three Envoys of Wind and Thunder" descended in front of Ouyang He.

"You're so powerful, you're immune to the incense I concocted. However, this will only make you die later, because everyone here has already fallen for my incense, and no one will come to save you! Xun Xi said triumphantly to Ouyang He, and the result was indeed as she said, no one at the scene heard the movement and rushed to reinforce Ouyang He.

"Miss Ouyang, the one who knows the times is Junjie, the matter of Ice Phoenix Valley has nothing to do with you, I advise you not to stand in our way anymore!" The originally silent shadow finally spoke, and the inner meaning of his words seemed to be to protect Ouyang He from the ripples.

"Hmph, the Wind and Thunder Hall is a disaster for the world, and everyone will be punished! If I don't make a move today and sit back and watch you destroy the entire Ice Phoenix Valley, then I don't know who the next person will be who will be poisoned by you. Ouyang He held Bai Lian in his hand and said with a fearless face.

"Hehe, a yellow-haired girl is so ignorant of the height of the sky. Since you toast and don't eat and drink, don't blame us for being ruthless, where are the four great disciples! ”

After Chen Yutian gave an order, four black-clothed men armed with swords, guns, swords and halberds rushed forward to fight Ouyang He again. However, under the suppression of Ouyang He's group attack skill "Sky Dance", the strength of the four people was completely only passively beaten, and they were not as godly as Chen Yutian boasted about, and even the three "Wind and Thunder Three Envoys" on the side were also absent-minded, as if in their opinion, these four people were not enough for Ouyang He's teeth.

It didn't take long for these four so-called "Four Great Disciples" who were miraculous in Chen Yutian's mouth to be knocked to the ground by Ouyang He effortlessly one after another, wailing.

"Hmph, shame on you!" Yin Eclipse wielded a giant axe and suddenly attacked Ouyang He, but was dodged by Ouyang He in time.

"You ran away in Chengdu before, and you won't be so lucky today!"

"Really? I'm afraid I won't let you get your wish! ”

Since the fiasco in the last encounter, Ouyang He's skills have been greatly improved, and now she has been able to fight Yin Eclipse for dozens of rounds without falling behind.

"Hehe, big man, it looks like you've regressed a lot!" After taunting the Yin Eclipse, Xun Xi also brandished the Emei Thorn to join the battle, and the scene suddenly changed to Ouyang He's solo battle against the two top masters in the Wind Thunder Hall.

Seeing that Ouyang He was gradually unable to parry under the wheel battle between the two, Qiu Ying suddenly made a move to stop Xun Xi's fatal blow.

"The big boss has told him in every way that Ouyang He needs to be handed over to him to deal with personally, and you must pay attention to the severity of your actions!" The shadow stood in front of Ouyang He, stopping the fierce battle between the two sides.

And in this interval of respite, with a shout of "catch the sword", a sword flashing with blue light, with a scabbard, flew straight towards Ouyang He from the house.

Ouyang He jumped high to receive this sword, and a power that made her whole body feel warm rushed like a river. Pulling out the scabbard, the dragon soul sword that flashed with dazzling blue light instantly flipped and stirred the aura around it, and even the "Three Envoys of Wind and Thunder", who had outstanding strength, were instantly shocked by this extremely powerful momentum.

Ouyang He, who holds the dragon soul in his hand, is like a reborn green dragon, soaring on the shore of Dongting Lake in the turbulent dark tide.
