"Remembering the white birch?" Xuan Zhuyi casually flipped through a few pages and said to himself, "What is this?" Senior Sister Kong, where did you get this thing? ”

"It's the ...... in my room," she paused abruptly, regrouping her words, "someone put it at the door of my room." ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "Then how did you find it?"

Mu Jinggong: "I heard a knock on the door at that time, walked over and opened the door, there was no one, only this book, so I picked it up, just turned two pages, and was attracted by the voice of your side, senior brother."

Xuan Zhuyi lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said to himself, "Who can enter and exit Yunshang Restaurant so freely?" Just as he was thinking deeply, a birdsong pierced the silent night sky, interrupting Xuan Zhuyi's train of thought, and startling everyone who was immersed in silence. I only heard a "banging" sound outside the window, and several people immediately became vigilant. Yu Tzu-hyuk didn't say a word, turned around and walked to the window, poked his head out and looked out. Then, I saw her shoulders shrug, and her body seemed to be pulled by an external force, and she tumbled out of the window, and disappeared into Shang Ling's room in a blink of an eye.

"Hey! Yu Jihyuk! Shang Ling jumped up from the bed, rushed to the window like an arrow from the string, looked left and right outside, and shouted Yu Cihe's name loudly. The rest of the people couldn't help but be shocked, Xuan Zhuyi also ran over, and was about to put his hand on Shang Ling's shoulder to comfort him, but he didn't want to raise his hand before it fell, and Shang Ling also tumbled down the window like Yu Cihe. couldn't wait for Xuan Zhuyi to reach out to pull him, and he also disappeared into the darkness. Xuan Zhuyi's hand that was stagnant in mid-air couldn't be put down for a long time, but subconsciously, Xuan Zhuyi took a few steps back, away from the window, as if the window was not an ordinary window, but a mysterious window leading to death.

Just as the four of them hesitated, something suddenly protruded from the window of the "Road to Death", which looked slender and slender, as if it was a tail, but it was a little different. This thing is shrouded in a layer of haze, which makes it difficult to see. The thing shook left and right, and with a "snap", it shook the window hard, and the edge of the window suddenly showed a scratch. Then, the tail-like thing stretched out into the room, touching Xuan Zhuyi, the closest to the window. One of Xuan Zhuyi's wrists was entangled, but on the one hand, he subconsciously tied up his horse steps to prevent himself from being taken away by this strange thing, and on the other hand, he stretched out his other hand to grab the thing that was entangled in him, and pulled him violently to see what it was. I saw a figure flash out of the window very quickly, as if someone was grabbing the other end of Xuan Zhuyi's wrist. The black shadow landed steadily at the window, and one turned over and entered the room, and the thing wrapped around Xuan Zhuyi's wrist also disappeared with a "whoosh".

"Yu Cihyuk?!" Xuan Zhuyi couldn't hold back his surprise and couldn't help but cry out. Yu Cihe put the cracked ice verbena grass on his waist, looked at Xuan Zhuyi and said, "There is something outside the window, it seems that I came to make an appointment." It's just a reminder, pack up and go to the birch forest for an appointment. ”

The four of them were a little surprised, Xuan Zhuyi finally returned to a trace of reason from the surprise, looked at Yu Cihe with a little panic and asked, "What about Shang Ling?" Shang Ling, he must have been taken away by that thing! ”

"It doesn't matter. I thought he was too noisy, so I dragged him down. If he called it like that, he would have called everyone in less than half a burnt of incense. Although Yu Cihyuk's words were very plain, it made the four of them feel a little at ease. The four of them followed Yu Cihe, turned out of the window silently, and saw Shang Ling standing on the side without saying a word, and the stone in Xuan Zhuyi's heart seemed to have fallen to the ground. On the way to the birch forest, Shang Ling seemed very quiet, and the atmosphere was very abnormal. Ouyang Ruolin came to Xuan Zhuyi's side and asked softly, "Senior brother?" Why is Shang Ling so ...... today? Be quiet? ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "Quiet?"

Ouyang Ruolin: "I can't say that. I just feel that she is a little abnormal. ”

Mu Zhixi also leaned over and whispered to Ouyang Ruolin with a smile: "What else can it be?" must have been scolded by Yu Cihyuk. Shang Ling, who was walking in front, seemed to have heard the conversation between the three of them, and turned his head to look at the three of them, and the three of them smiled at him and stopped talking.

At this moment, the birch forest is shrouded in a night, and from time to time, a few unknown birds play a "lamentation" with their "stiff" voice.

Mu Jinggong: "The cicada noise forest is more quiet, and the birdsong mountain is more secluded."

Ouyang Ruolin: "This place really gives people an eerie feeling, I'm afraid this bird call isn't it to set off the atmosphere, right?"

Xuan Zhuyi walked in the front, looking around, the nerves in his whole body were tense, for fear that something would suddenly burst out of somewhere. A layer of mist gradually rose from the birch forest, enveloping everyone.

Ouyang Ruolin: "Why is it foggy all of a sudden?" If you keep going, you'll get lost! ”

Shang Ling, who had been silent, suddenly said in a flat tone: "It's a pity that we just leave the things that people have worked so hard to prepare, right?"

As soon as the words fell, the inexplicable fog suddenly dissipated. While everyone was standing in place and confused, a masked man dressed in black walked slowly out from behind a birch tree.

"Xuan Zhuyi."

As soon as the man spoke, everyone was surprised. This person's voice sounded so comfortable, that feeling as if standing on the top of the mountain, his arms naturally drooped, touching a trace of soft and cool things, the gentle wind blowing in his ears, the sound of the gurgling stream accompanied by bursts of crisp birdsong gently passed through the eardrums, a faint fragrance caressed the sense of smell, and diffused throughout the body like a needle. The sound is like a warm sunshine, like a gentle wind, like a flying bee butterfly, like a blooming flower, and more like a refreshing heart, directly into the hearts of everyone.

Everyone only felt that they had a trance-like feeling, and they couldn't say a word. The man was also stunned for a moment, deliberately general, adjusted his voice slightly, and said, "Xuan Zhuyi." Only then did everyone come back to their senses and begin to look at the person in front of them. This man was dressed in black, tightly wrapped from beginning to end, and it was impossible to tell what he looked like. But even so, it can still be vaguely seen that this person is in good shape. Xuan Zhuyi paused and said, "Your Excellency is the one who delivered the letter?"

The man turned around and turned his back to Xuan Zhuyi and the others, but stopped talking.

Ouyang Ruolin: "I don't know who Your Excellency is?" What is the importance of bringing us here that needs to be told? ”

The man remained silent, standing straight with his back to the group.

Shang Ling: "Hey! What do you mean by not talking? Let's guess for ourselves? ”

The man still didn't speak. Shang Ling took a few steps forward and put his hand on the man's shoulder and said, "Hey!" Before he finished speaking, the man in black in front of him fell straight to the ground. This sudden situation startled everyone. Squatting down to check on the man in black who had fallen to the ground, he saw bundles of wood in his clothes, filled with some grass.

Shang Ling: "This ...... Scarecrow? That ...... just now."

Before he finished speaking, there was a rush of footsteps and a heavy wheezing sound not far away. The crowd took advantage of the situation and hid behind a few stout birch trees, waiting for the appearance of the owner who was wheezing and sounding footsteps.

The voice got closer and closer to everyone, and gradually a thin figure came into everyone's eyes. The figure stopped beside the scarecrow who had fallen to the ground, as if crouching down to examine the scarecrow. Xuan Zhuyi gently drew his sword, walked out from behind the birch tree, and walked behind the thin figure in two steps. The owner of the figure seemed to notice something, and stood up suddenly, Xuan Zhuyi picked up his sword and lightly put the sword on the man's neck, and the man suddenly stopped, not daring to move again, and the rest of the people also walked out. Mu Zhixi walked up to this person with his sword, and stroked the man's veil with his hand, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Mu Zhixi: "It's you?"

Hearing Mu Zhixi's words, Mu Jinggong also leaned over. The owner of this figure was a woman, a little thin, but her face was very handsome. This woman was the woman who Xuan Zhuyi and the others had seen on the street when they first arrived in the capital, and kept asking passers-by if they had seen a man.

Ouyang Ruolin: "Girl? Why are you here? ”

The woman hesitated and said, "Yes...... I'm sorry...... I ......"

Shang Ling: "Why did you come here?" Or at this time? And this scarecrow? And what does it have to do with you? ”

The woman said hesitantly: "...... I...... I ......"

Mu Jinggong: "Girl? What's the problem? You name it, and we'll help you. ”

"I ...... I ...... "The woman is still like that, she looks secretive.

"A man of such height, do you still want to look for him?" Yu Tzu Hyuk stood aside, and a faint sentence seemed to open the woman's heart. I saw a glimmer of light flash in her eyes, and the previous panic and hesitation dissipated in an instant. She raised her head to look at Yu Cihyuk, waved her hand and said, "Him! You...... You've seen him! ”

Yu Tzu He waved his hand and said, "If you haven't seen it, it still depends on you."

The woman silently lowered her head, and after a while, she raised her head again to look at the crowd, and said slowly, "You...... Hello. I...... I am...... Leaf perilla ......"
