The ship drifted slowly down the current into the distance. When the man on the boat woke up again, she wouldn't remember anything. As I said to Wu Zhen, there is no such person as Wu Zhen in this world, only the dying old Granny Liu.

I could have killed her, but - it doesn't make a difference now. It doesn't have to be a knife to kill with a sword.

The beach was empty, and there was no one left.

"Where have all the people gone?"

Shigong said, "I'm going treasure hunting." ”

"What can you see clearly?"

"Maybe it's more convenient for them when it's dark."

I laughed, Shigong's words sounded mean enough.

"Let's go and see."

The master naturally took my hand and walked forward.

Those people didn't go far, there were too many people, and it was noisy. I searched through the crowd and saw Qi Taisheng, but I didn't see his wife. The first two people in the team rode horses, one was Wen Fei, and the other was the seventh master of the Wild Goose Tower. I also noticed Yue Tong, who also came, but walked behind with the others, dressed very inconspicuously.

They walked silently around the town and headed south.

The route they took was not exactly what Shi Gong drew on that map, but the direction was the same.

I glanced at Shigong.

What he drew to Wen Fei was not any random graffiti. I don't know what he was thinking, but I think he must have had his intentions.

The ruins of the Sword Immortal seem to be very precious and mysterious to say, but in fact, there is nothing there. How many people in this world can understand and comprehend the notations on the pits and stone walls? Even if they find it and see everything there, how many of these people in front of them can comprehend?

Everything that lies under the earth does not belong to me. It also does not belong to the master. Maybe everyone in this world has the right to see it. However, greed has blinded people, and they have too high expectations for this relic.

Among these people, Wen Fei is also included.

His wish was to be able to raise his eyebrows in front of people. He did it, betrayed, calculated, framed, poisoned...... I can't think of any other means he hasn't used. When Aunt Yue was dying, she begged me not to kill him, and I did. But I was killed by him.

Aunt Yue didn't know what her son would become in the future at that time, right?

The town was silent, and everyone seemed to be asleep. A wild dog sprang out from the side of the road. So many people walked so loudly that it was so frightened that it grabbed its tail and ran into the grass again.

After rounding the town, we entered the mountains, which were so rough that many people lit torches and the line was very long. Looking up, the person in front had already reached the halfway point of the mountain, and the sporadic firelight connected into a long curved line. The horse ridden by the person in front of him could no longer go up the mountain, so he was tied to the side of the road, and there were people from the North Sword Pavilion watching the horse.

My master asked me, "Are you thirsty?" ”

A little.

We stopped by the side of the road, where I knew my master and I very well. I have lived in Shahu for so many years, and every grass and tree here is ripe. There was a spring not far from the roadside and we took a few sips. There were also people behind him who came to drink water. He also took out dry food to feed his stomach. For a while, dozens of people gathered next to the thin spring.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "It's here!" ”

I looked up and saw that the light of the torches in the first place in the group had been extinguished one by one - no, not extinguished, they must have entered a cave, so there was no light to see.

People who were still drinking water rushed up. lest they be left behind.

We slowly fell to the back of the line.

After entering the cave, there is still a long way to go—there is no shortcut for Shigong, so I am afraid that I will have to walk in the middle of the night.

There is the temptation of hidden treasure. People don't seem to feel tired. The path in the cave is not easy to walk, the wide place can run a horse, the narrow place can only be passed by one person sideways, the underground stones are not smooth, some boot soles are thin, and their feet are pierced by sharp stones, so they wrap a wrap and continue to walk, as if they don't feel pain. Some people haven't eaten for a day, but they don't feel hungry. Where the torches could not shine, there were people hitting their heads and knocking their legs, but no one withdrew and walked back.

I felt a little hungry, and my master asked me, "Are you tired?" ”

"A little."

"I'll carry you."

"Huh?"

He probably misunderstood what I meant: "It's okay, they can't find out." Even if you don't use illusions, it's dark enough. ”

I jumped on his back, his hand on my leg, and he paused before standing up straight and walking forward.

My heart was beating fast, and I don't know if he noticed it—unless he was a piece of wood.

"Aren't you tired?"

"Not tired."

I inadvertently touched his earlobe—

It seems to be a little hot.

I'm not alone.

I leaned on his back and whispered, "By the way, I still have sugar in my purse, do you want to eat it?" ”

Without waiting for him to say no, I took out two hard sugar grains from my purse, stuffed one into my master's mouth, and stuffed one into my own mouth.

The sweet taste of plum sugar sour spreads on the tongue.

The sugar grains disappeared after a long time in my mouth, and I felt sweet from my throat to my stomach.

The line finally stopped.

I was so solid and comfortable on my master's back that I was about to fall asleep, and now I blinked, patted him on the shoulder, and slipped off his back.

"Have you arrived?"

"Hmm."

I smelled the familiarity.

The smell of damp earth underneath is not found anywhere else.

The people at the back of the queue didn't know what was going on in front of them, and they were already getting agitated—

It's not surprising that when there are benefits, who wants to be left behind? Eighty percent of the people in the back thought that the benefits would be snatched up by the people in front, and they couldn't even touch a little scum.

They began to squeeze forward. You push me, I step on you, the people in front shout to tell the people behind not to panic, but the more you shout like this, the more chaotic the back becomes.

Shi Gong took my hand and avoided the recess on the side, and someone's torch fell to the ground, and it was black in all directions, and the sound of blades intersecting sounded.

Chaos spreads very quickly in the dark, and with the first person to draw a sword, no matter whether others want to do it or not, they can't dodge, and they must also pull out their blades.

The screams came one after another, and I didn't know who was injured or where I was injured.

Before the relics were seen, the bloody aura had already spread underground.

This chaos lasted almost half an hour. The people from the North Sword Pavilion in front rushed over, lit torches, and shouted to stop them.

The situation was gradually brought under control, and the light finally brought people back to their senses.

The number of people checked was already more than forty dead, and there were even more wounded, and blood splashed everywhere could be seen in the firelight.

Shigong pulled me: "Let's go, go ahead and have a look." ”

We walked through the crowd and straight ahead. The passage widened and widened, and suddenly there was no sky overhead, and the light of the fire in front of me brightened.

This is exactly where my master and I used to be.
