In the distance, Mei Xin'er, who was pale with fright, hurriedly ran over, grabbed Xie Bangui's arm and said, "Are you okay?" ”

Xie Bangui popped out the Soul Claw, grabbed something in the raging flames, and without waiting for the people around him to see it clearly, he wrapped it in a white cloth and stuffed it into his arms. After doing all this, he turned his head and said, "You saved me?" ”

Mei Xin'er pouted: "The spirit rune is mine, and the person who plays the spirit rune is her!" ”

Xie Bangui looked in the direction of Mei Xin'er's finger, but saw Tang Shuai standing in the distance with a smile, followed by six expressionless Tang Sect brocade robe disciples behind her.

Xie Bangui and the fat man are already considered to be masters in the rivers and lakes, but Tang Shuai and they can get close to them silently, this light skill alone is enough to make people look sideways, not to mention that Tang Shuai also showed a hand of "picking leaves and flying flowers", which made Xie Bangui feel a little jealous.

Xie Bangui quietly arched his hand and said, "Thank you Miss Tang for helping." ”

Tang Shuai said with a smile: "Brother Xie is serious, maybe Tang Shuai should apologize to Brother Xie." Judging from Brother Xie's action of shaking off the flames, even if I don't make a move, Brother Xie should have a way to save himself, I even suspect that Brother Xie deliberately refused to kill the ghost, waiting for a certain opportunity, Tang Shuai didn't bother Brother Xie, right? ”

Xie Bangui smiled noncommittally, but the tall fat man lost his temper: "It's good that you know, what's the mess if you have nothing to do?" ”

The disciples of the Tang Sect glared angrily at the tall fat man at the same time, and some people had even taken a step forward and reached out to press the dart bag on their waists, wanting to step forward to teach the fat man a lesson.

Tang Shuai raised his hand to stop him: "The two of you came to Yizhuang just to verify something, and I also came here for roughly the same purpose as the two of you." After all, the Zheng family's proposal needs some other corroboration, doesn't it? ”

Xie Bangui took out the cloth bag in his arms and threw it to Tang Shuai and said: "This is the evidence you want, if Miss Tang still wants to confirm further, you might as well ask your colleagues in Maoshan to help you identify it." ”

Tang Shuai looked at the iron piece in the cloth bag and said, "This seems to be a fragment of some kind of magic weapon." ”

Xie Bangui said with a smile: "The fragment of the Broken Soul Golden Gong was dug out of the head of a corpse. I take the liberty of asking, is Tang Jueying's predecessor a person in the art sect? ”

"It's not!" Tang Shuai shook his head and said, "This fragment of a magic weapon is crucial to the Tang Sect's decision, can Brother Xie let me take it away." ”

Xie Bangui made a gesture of please, and took the tall fat man and the others to stride away past Tang Shuai. After turning the corner, Lao Qian spoke: "The Tang Gate's chess has arrived, and it seems that Tang Jingyuan will agree to our proposal." ”

The tall fat man asked, "What kind of chess?" ”

"Tang Shuai plus the six people behind her are a pair of chess, and the people behind her are called 'rooks, horses, artillery, and soldiers', plus she is handsome, it happens to be a pair of chess."

Lao Qian explained: "When the Tang Sect encounters thorny problems, it is usually solved by chess, and it is rumored that they have never missed a move. If Tang Jingyuan agreed to our request, the eight achievements that accompanied us to open the tomb were chess. ”

As Lao Qian expected, after Tang Jingyuan agreed to the Zheng family's request, he did send Xiangqi to return to the Tang Gate with Xie Bangui.

Xie Bangui and his entourage are composed of him, the fat man, Lao Qian, Mei Xin'er, and the four Zheng family fire guards. Shaolin's Kuhai Master and Wudang's Kongjian Daoist participated as notaries with eight disciples each.

As for the four generals of the Ghost Ya, they stayed in the Zheng Family Fort to guard the Zheng family and contain the elders of the Tang Sect. Originally, Lao Qian, who was the acting head of the family, should also leave the Zheng family, but without Xie Bangui, who is a "kaleidoscope" like him and rarely deals with people in the rivers and lakes, it is equivalent to losing a big help, and Lao Qian decided to go with Xie Bangui after weighing it again and again.

They had just left Zhengjiabao not far from a crisis that had quietly struck.

Fake strips!

The horse team of Xie Bangui and his party was deliberately divided into three sections, with the knights of the Tang Gate opening the way in front, the Zheng family and horses in charge of the break, and the main characters of the three parties walking in the middle. Until the sun turned west, the whole horse team was still moving along the official road unhurriedly.

As the sky grew dark, Zheng Chongshan, who was in charge of the palace, felt more and more uneasy, which was very similar to the scene when he was dealing with bandits in the dense forest outside the gate. At that time, it was also in this silent darkness that the only sound they could hear was the breathing of their companions, and they did not even dare to talk out loud, in order not to miss any possible or imminent sounds, because they could not figure out what danger was hidden in the dense forest around them, and they could not figure out whether it was a beast waiting for an opportunity to prey on them in the darkness, or an enemy who was waiting for an opportunity to rein in their murderous aura.

And now, this feeling has been copied from the original official road, and the hateful thing is that there is not even a single stone that can hide in the vicinity of the official road except for the endless wilderness, and it is impossible to hide the enemy. Zheng Chongshan even scanned the ground within ten zhang a few times, but there was not even a trace of floating soil as far as his eyes could see. The possibility of underground Tibetans has also been largely ruled out.

But the gaze that seemed to come from the depths of his consciousness pierced him like a needle, making him extremely uncomfortable all over his body.

Zheng Chongshan had the heart to ask his companion, but he was afraid that he would be distracted and miss some details. But the almost suffocating feeling of depression made his hand unconsciously stretch out to the fire gun on his waist again and again.

"Ahh

Zheng Chongshan was suddenly screamed, frightened a spirit, instinctively pulled out the gun in his hand, but the mount under his crotch seemed to be frightened, the front hooves off the ground stood up, Zheng Chongshan shouted loudly, stiffly strangled the reins, and the waist horse sank hard to pull the mount back to its original position. But the horses were still restless. At this time, Zheng Chongshan's afterglow swept a figure.

The figure hidden under the belly of his companion's horse, with his bony limbs clasping the ribs of the war horse, poked out half of his pale face from under the horse's belly, and looked in the direction of Zheng Chongshan.

Zheng Chongshan was startled and was about to raise his gun, but his mount turned half a circle in place, forcing Zheng Chongshan to turn around on his horse and aim sideways.

"Brother Chongshan, what are you doing?" The children of the Zheng family, who were taken aback by Zheng Chongshan's movements, turned over and jumped off the horse: "Brother Chongshan......"

"There's someone under your horse!" As soon as Zheng Chongshan's roar fell, all the Zheng family's fire god guards immediately turned over and dismounted, and drew out their fire guns in the air in a uniform manner without any delay, pointing at the empty horses together.

But under the horse's belly, it was empty, not to mention the human figure, and there was not even a trace of someone appearing. A Vulcan guard didn't give up, and leaned closer to the horse's belly and sniffed a few times before he spoke: "No one! I don't even have the smell of a living person, Brother Chongshan, are you dazzled! ”

"Maybe!" Zheng Chongshan also doubted that he was dazzled: "Then did you hear someone screaming?" ”

"Nope!" More than a dozen Vulcan guards shook their heads in unison.

Zheng Chongshan said vaguely: "Maybe I'm too tired, keep walking!" ”

When Zheng Chongshan turned over and got on the horse again, a black shadow slipped into the dead corner of his sight and quietly slipped under Zheng Chongshan's horse's belly. A subtle handprint appeared out of thin air on the bulging belly of the horse, as if someone was gently pressing the sides of the horse's belly and hanging in the air to follow the horse slowly.

In fact, it was not Zheng Chongshan who felt strange around him, Tang Che, who was walking at the front of the team, had already keenly felt the strange killing machine floating in the air.

As a master of hidden weapons, his intuition and perception of danger are more than a hundred times sharper than ordinary people. has also been born and died thousands of times. He never thought that one day he would be suspicious, that he would inexplicably feel that danger was approaching, that he would be afraid of being caught in the air!

"Misfortune is coming!" The moment this word flashed in Tang Che's mind, he finally found the source of the danger.

That feeling came from the top of his head.

From the beginning of darkness, he felt that Tianyu was a few feet lower into thin air. The oppressive atmosphere was like a stone pressing on his heart, making him inexplicably irritable.

I don't know when, he suddenly couldn't feel the boredom, because a chill seeped through the top of his head out of thin air. It feels like ...... It's like...... Yes, like a drop of blood hanging from the sky, it seemed to cut off his neck in an instant, and lift his bloody human head into the air.

Thinking of this, Tang Che even clearly saw the scene of his head in the air, flashing quickly in front of his eyes.

Tang Che couldn't help but shiver, and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

At a glance, he saw a man squatting like a bird in the willow tree opposite. The man buried his head tightly between his outstretched arms, and Tang Che could not see his hands, but he could see the sleeves several feet long, dragging from his knees to the top of his feet. I don't know if his feet are standing or grasping at the tree, but his whole body is rising and falling with the fluttering of the willow, like a dead leaf that has been hanging on the tree.

Tang Che was startled and turned his right hand outward, just holding the moon cutting flying knife drawn from his sleeve. Then he saw the man peeking out of his arms with a blood-red one-eye, and looked at him condescendingly.

Tang Che only felt that his heart was tight, and his whole heart almost jumped out of the cavity, and he didn't hesitate to hit the hidden weapon. The Moon-Slashing Knife was like lightning that pierced the night sky, and the blinding cold light was extinguished in a flash, cutting the wicker on which the man stood horizontally.

The broken wicker was still flying in the air, but the strange figure was nowhere to be found. Tang Che flew aggressively at the same time, and reached out to take it without waiting for the branch to hit the ground.

"Boss, what's wrong?" Tang Bing and Tang Ma fell one after the other beside Tang Che, putting on a vigilant posture in a zigzag shape.

Tang Che raised his head and asked, "Did you see someone just now?" ”

"Who?" Tang Bing was surprised: "If there is someone, can they escape the eyes of a few of us?" You're not going to be dazzled, are you? ”

"But...... What's going on? Tang Che frowned when he held the wicker, and the roots of the branches were obviously printed with two blood stains side by side, which looked like someone had stepped on them, and it was like two handprints held by someone.

"A wicker, huh?" Tang Ma took the wicker and said, "Except for the thick point, it's nothing special!" ”

"You don't see it...... Forget it, maybe I'm dazzled! Tang Che swallowed back halfway through his words, since they didn't see the figure, naturally they couldn't see the strangeness on the wicker.

Tang Ma comforted: "There is an inn in front, I'll arrange accommodation, you can sleep well in a while, it may be better." ”

"Maybe!" As soon as Tang Che raised his foot, the moon-cutting flying knife he shot fell silently in front of his feet, sticking to the soles of his feet like a piece of paper, but Tang Che raised his feet and walked towards the inn as if he didn't know it.

Although the Zheng family and the Tang family live in an inn, they seem to be distinct, even if they eat, they are separated by a few tables. Rao is like this, and he can't stop the smell of gunpowder between the two sides.
