"No need, you better hurry up and think about your Zhang family's future retreat." Zhao Cheng said as he turned around and walked towards me.

"Brother Chu Yan, it is really fate for you and I to meet here again. Let's go back, we don't get drunk and don't go home. Zhao Cheng patted me on the shoulder and said.

I shook my head and said, "Zhao Cheng is really sorry, I have other things, I can't stay here too long." On another day, I will come here to find you, and then we will rest when we are drunk. ”

Zhao Cheng hesitated after hearing this and said, "Alas, since you have already said so, it is not easy for me to keep it." Then according to what you said, after you have dealt with your affairs, you must come to me, and we will get drunk when the time comes. ”

I nodded and said, "By the way, please send Miss Li Yao back." She's been taken away before, and I'm worried that something like this will happen, so I'm bothering you. ”

"Don't worry, wrap it up on me." Zhao Cheng patted his chest and said.

Then, I glanced at Brother Gongzi who was standing not far away, and at this time his face was no longer arrogant just now, and some were just full of sadness.

I sneered, then turned to look at Li Yao and said, "Okay, let Zhao Cheng send you back, it's safer for someone to send you, so you don't have to be caught by others." ”

"Uncle, where are you going? I want to go with you too. Li Yao looked at me and said reluctantly.

"You're almost there, you can be your best lady than anything else, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you." With that, I turned to Zhao Cheng and nodded, and left quickly.

"Brother Chu Yan, remember to come back to me for a drink." Zhao Cheng's shouting came from behind him.

I smiled and didn't reply, thinking I could come back. I'm going to the cave this time, and when I get out of the cave, I'm going to deal with the ghost king, and I don't know if I'm an opponent by then, and if I'll be able to come back alive.

Thinking about it, I shook my head and smiled bitterly, I don't know how many times I have had this kind of life-and-death thought. But I've survived again and again, maybe because of my life.

Unconsciously, Qing Yao's appearance suddenly flashed somewhere in his heart. For Qing Yao, I really don't know what kind of emotion I have for her, that emotion makes me feel lost and heartache.

I shook my head hard, trying not to let myself think about it.

For the next few days, I was on the road. I've seen a lot of things along the way.

There was an elderly couple who went to the county town to catch a market, and a young couple who went to the temple fair, etc., all of which were so beautiful in my eyes. But I don't dare say I'm the one who guards them, but I'll be one of them if I need to. Right now, for example, I'm trying to protect these things.

I'm not a god, I'm just an ordinary person with feelings, and when I see these smiling people, I feel very bad when I think of the ghost king who is still alive.

One evening, I was watching the sun set on a hillside, when a carrier pigeon flew in front of me. When I saw the pigeon, I sent the letter down and let it go.

When I opened the letter, I was stunned. The letter was written by my master, and I was curious about what letters this master gave me, so I hesitated for a moment, but finally read the contents of the letter.

"Chu Yan, I don't know if you have come out of Qing Yao's affairs, but there is something I must tell you, but you must be mentally prepared. Your master passed away last night, and I hope you can come back as soon as possible, so that you can give your master one last ride.

You also know that your master has no children and no daughters in his life, and you are his only relative, so you have to rush back as soon as possible, we are waiting for you in Qingfeng Temple. ”

When I finished reading it, it was like a thunderclap sounded in my head. I really can't believe my eyes now, but the content of the letter hasn't changed. I didn't stop at all, and rushed in the direction of Qingfeng Temple like crazy.

It's very close to Seifukan, and it's only a three-day walk, but I can't wait. I then used all my money to buy a fast horse and galloped away towards Qingfengguan.

Since I had been on the road overnight, I was almost there at noon on the third day. On the way, I also changed several horses in a row, and when I arrived at the gate of Qingfeng Temple, the last horse also fell, and I could see that this horse really tried its best.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of Seifukan, I saw that all the lanterns on both sides of Seifukan had been replaced with white lanterns. At this moment, I knew that the contents of the letter were true, and that they could not be true.

I rushed in, and when I walked in, there were white paper lanterns everywhere.

I muttered to myself as I rushed in the direction of the backyard, "No...... No, no......"

As soon as I ran into the backyard, I collided with Hisashi who came out.

"Chu ...... Chu Yan, you got it back so quickly? Hisashi asked, looking at me.

I didn't pay attention to Jiusheng, but directly pushed Jiusheng away and walked quickly towards the backyard. As soon as I entered the backyard, I saw a coffin.

At this time, I actually stopped. I don't know why, but my feet seem to weigh tens of millions of pounds, and it's very difficult to even move a little.

Finally, I moved to the coffin step by step and knelt down: "Master......"

I shouted into the coffin, and I was like a deflated ball after that.

The two of them, Uncle and Fat Eight, also came out of the house.

"Chu Yan, you're back." Uncle looked at me and opened his mouth and said.

I didn't pay any attention to the master, I just slowly stood up and walked towards the coffin. Master Uncle and Fat Eight looked at me and shook their heads slowly, the way I looked was the last thing they wanted to see.

I slowly pushed the lid of the coffin open, and then I saw the master in the coffin. At this time, the master's hair was trimmed, and his eyes were tightly closed. The clothes on his body were also changed into new clothes, and his hands were naturally placed on both sides of his body.

"Uncle Master, how did my master die?" I looked at the master's corpse and asked slowly.

The master didn't answer my question immediately, he slowly looked at Fat Eight. Obviously, he knew the cause of my master's death, but he didn't know whether to say it or not.

"Forget it, if you can't hide it, tell Chu Yan." Fat Eight shook his head helplessly and said.

After hearing this, the master nodded, and then said slowly: "Chu Yan, your master's death may have something to do with Qing Yao. ”

After hearing this, I turned my head suddenly, I looked at the master and said in disbelief: "Impossible, this is impossible, how can it be Qingyao." Some time ago, I saw her once, and she couldn't have come to Qingfeng so soon. ”

"We couldn't believe it at first, but I found the snake's scales next to your master, and of course this is just my guess." As he spoke, he took out a piece of cloth from his bosom.

I took the cloth and opened it, and sure enough, there were one or two snake scales inside. I lowered my head and smelled it, there was a faint fragrance coming from the snake scales, this fragrance I will never forget for the rest of my life, this is exactly the same smell as Qing Yao's body.

Now that I've got this stuff, what else can I say. And if you think about it, when I said goodbye to Qing Yao, it was already a few days ago. Yi Qingyao's skills, it was easy to come here.

The more I thought about it, the more convinced I became that all this was done by Qing Yao. Who else could there be? If it is the ghost king, then it is not as simple as the dead master, even the master and the uncle don't want to live.

I smiled bitterly and shook my head, I really couldn't understand why Qing Yao did this, could it be to take revenge on me?

"Chu Yan, are you okay?" Uncle looked at me without saying a word and asked.

I slowly put away the snake scales and said, "Uncle Master, I want to be quiet, you guys go back first, I'm fine." ”

"Chu Yan, don't think about it." Hihachi said as he looked at me from the side.

"Don't worry, how can I not think about it, I'm just thinking quietly in my heart." As I spoke, I looked at the master in the coffin again.

"Actually, I can't believe that this was done by Qing Yao, maybe there are other things in this, I think you should check it out and make a decision. Because I always felt that it was impossible for Qing Yao to do this. Master Bo looked at me before leaving.

I nodded, not speaking.

Then the master uncle, and Fei Hachi and Jiusheng went back to their rooms. I stood alone in the courtyard, quietly watching the master in the coffin.

I know that what Master Uncle just said is comforting me, and now that the scales on Qing Yao's body are here, what else can this mean. At this time, the only remaining trace of longing for Qing Yao in my heart gradually turned into hatred.

Because, I have followed the master since I was a child, and in my eyes, the master is like my father. And Qing Yao killed my father, how can I not be angry, how can I let her go.

After a long time, I slowly stretched out my hand to hold the master's cold hand and said slowly: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you." That Qing Yao, I will definitely kill her with my own hands. ”

With that, I withdrew my hand and closed the lid of the coffin again. After that, I knelt down again in front of the master's coffin.

I don't know why, this time I was surprisingly calm, I didn't shed tears in the yard, and I didn't show grief in the yard.

The master in the room has been listening to the movements in the courtyard. I thought I would be furious, but I didn't expect the courtyard to be surprisingly quiet, and there was no movement.

Then, the master looked through the crack in the door towards the courtyard. And he saw me standing quietly in the courtyard. There were no tears, no shouting, I just knelt quietly in front of the coffin.

Uncle Master is even more confused, with my character, I must be very angry. But why is it so calm this time, and the calmness makes the master feel a little weird.

It was getting dark a little bit, and Jiusheng had already prepared a meal at this time, he came over to look at me and said, "Chu Yan, the time is almost up, it's useless for you to kneel here, let's go in and eat something." ”

I didn't speak, just got up slowly, and limped into the room. It may be that I have been kneeling for too long, and I feel a sharp pain in my knee when I walk.

I didn't sit down to eat when I entered the house, I grabbed a jug of wine and walked out.

Jiusheng wanted to stop me, but was stopped by the master.

"Let him be alone for a while, he needs time, and now he still can't accept it for a while." Master Uncle looked at my back and said slowly.
