That night, Muzi slept soundly, and never had any messy dreams, and just after noon the next day, the three of them embarked on the road out of Beijing together. It was still if it wasn't for the car, the two of them sat in the compartment, speechless all the way, it seemed to be a little heavy, Mu Zixiao wanted to find a topic to chat with a few times, but he didn't know what to say, he was in a daze, and he spent every part of the journey half-asleep.

The three of them traveled for more than a month, far away from the prosperity of the capital, but Mu Zixiao found that Huo Nanqi seemed to have a destination along the way, and they only stayed for two days everywhere, to be exact, they were in a hurry.

Passing through a town, sparsely populated, not lively, the three of them looked for an inn, tied the horse rope and asked for some food and sat in the lobby, still silent, each eating silently.

"Hey, have you heard? The daughter of the old Yao family is also gone. A few people at the next table whispered.

"I've heard that this is already the seventh, it's really pitiful, and I don't know if it's dead or alive." One of the civilians sighed.

"Are you still alive? It's been more than a month since I've been missing, and I don't know whose girl and boy will be the next unlucky. ”

"Don't talk about it, be careful of getting into trouble." One of them waved his hand, and the others hurriedly silenced.

"Childe, I'll ask." If it weren't for the fact that he was waiting to get up and wanted to go over and ask, when he encountered this kind of thing, with Huo Nanqi's temperament, he would definitely have to take care of it, but Mu Zixiao hurriedly grabbed him, spit out the melon seed skin in his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's better for you to go, look at your posture, who dares to chat with you well, how brother?" He glanced at Huo Nanqi lightly.

Huo Nanqi picked up the teacup again and said, "It's okay." Nodding his head to indicate that if he didn't move, Mu Zixiao took the wine jug on the table and rubbed it over with a smile.

"A few big brothers." Mu Zixiao shook the wine jug in his hand and said with a smile: "I want to invite a few brothers to have a drink, I don't know if I can get a table?" ”

A few people looked at Mu Zixiao's line, I don't know whose handsome son it is, the wine jug in his hand is also a first-class daughter Hong, and whispered for a while: "Okay, the little boy is broken." ”

Mu Zixiao sat down next to one of them, beckoned again, and motioned for Xiao Er to add a few more dishes, and then a pot of good wine, and the little second-hand foot Mali sent it over, Mu Zixiao poured it for the five of them respectively, first drank a glass, and said gently: "Dare to ask a few brothers, where is this place?" ”

After drinking the wine invited by others, he naturally answered, he had short hands and a soft mouth, not to mention that this little boy didn't have a little frame when he saw it, he was approachable, and he became familiar with it in a few words.

One of them said: "This is Nanping Town, with all due respect, if the little boy goes out to play, he should choose another place to go." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Muzi asked with a smile.

"The little boy also saw that we are indeed a little dilapidated and desolate here, and ah." The man suddenly lowered his voice and leaned over, continuing: "At night, basically everyone is afraid to go out, and everyone suspects that we are haunted here. ”

"Yes, little boy, those who have some money or some ability have moved away." After the man finished speaking, he sighed: "Those of us who are poor and have few children can only stay here, worry about it every day, and live carefully." ”

"What is this ghost? Has anyone seen it? Although Mu Zixiao has a straight face, he is beating a drum in his heart, the theory of ghosts and monsters has been rumors since ancient times, and he is naturally afraid to avoid things that he has never seen.

"How can you see it, if you see it, isn't there still a life?" The man was about to say something, but a person next to him pulled his sleeve, and he kept silent, poured his glass, and took a sip, as if he was shocked.

Mu Zixiao also had a chill down his spine, and hurriedly poured it himself, drank it in a hurry, coughed a few times, turned his head and saw Huo Nanqi looking at him, and said with a hint in his eyes: "Wait a little longer." ”

Picked up the wine jug and poured eight points for a few people, Muzi smiled at the amount of wine that was not good, these glasses were connected to the lower stomach, and their heads were a little dizzy, and these people were a little drunk because of this daughter's popularity, and they all drank a few more glasses, and several of them were a little drunk.

Mu Zixiao took advantage of the fact that he was still sober and inquired a little more before staggering goodbye to the people at the table. Huo Nanqi helped Muzi smile into the guest room, if it weren't for the sword following behind him. Sitting on the bed, Mu Zixiao forced himself not to fall asleep, and slowly told the news he had inquired about.

It turned out that as early as half a year ago, this Nanping Town was still a crowded city, and it was very lively. But just last year's New Year, lost the first girl, there has been no official management in the town, so the Sun family sent someone to help find it, the Sun family is a big family in this town, both moral and artistic, and the poor people are more generous, and the reputation is excellent.

When the girl was found, she was disheveled, breathless, skinny, and terrifying. The Sun family also helped with the burial, and then they became more concerned about this matter, so they intervened to find out who did it. But because of help, the Sun family also got into trouble, one day when the Sun family got up early and went out, a pair of words were written in blood on the door: If you are interested, I will follow you.

If this character is not drawn with blood, most people will think that it means an expression, but it is the smell of blood that makes people feel uneasy. That night, the sixteen-year-old son of the Sun family also disappeared, and when he was found, he was still like the girl, and died a miserable death. Of course, the Sun family was angry, but this person was in the mansion and didn't go out, how could he disappear out of thin air, and after checking for a long time, he still didn't have any clue, and then less than half a month, the eldest lady of the Sun family also disappeared.

This time it was really panicked, they were all clamoring for haunting, and the Sun family did not dare to pursue it any further, so they left Nanping Town with the remaining son and daughter, until now, seven people have disappeared and died, and this place has become comparable to a ghost town.

Hearing this, if it weren't for the slight nervousness on his face, he said, "Is it really a ghost?" Or was it cursed by someone? ”

Mu Zixiao staggered and said: "I don't think it's like a ghost, if it's a ghost, it won't be possible to have a pair of characters posted to people's doorsteps, someone must have done it on purpose, using the name of ghosts to confuse people's hearts." After saying that, he seemed to feel inappropriate, and reversed his remarks: "However, it seems that people suddenly disappear in the house, and it seems that it is indeed not possible for people to do it, so if you think about it, it may be really an evil ghost." ”

"No, people can do it." If it weren't for glancing at Huo Nanqi and continuing: "If Gongzi wants to kidnap someone, he can indeed do it without anyone knowing. ”

"Really? Can a person who practices martial arts achieve such a state? Although Mu Zixiao didn't believe it, if it wasn't for his expression, it was so.

"Wu Cheng, anyone can do it, this matter must be investigated." Huo Nanqi said. Wucheng is divided into four stages, the lower, the middle, the upper, and the heavenly. The upper one is rare, and the heavenly one is a legend, after all, it is impossible for ordinary people to become a heavenly one, and the upper and heavenly ones are born to practice martial arts, the bones are peculiar, rare, plus the acquired efforts, they can take the opponent's head among all enemies.

"Shh Huo Nanqi said in a low voice: "If you don't stay and guard, I will be back in a moment." ”

"Yes!" If it weren't for the vigilance.

Before the words fell, Huo Nanqi's ghostly window jumped out, and there was no sound at the door for a moment, "Huo Nanqi will be fine, right?" Mu Zixiao was a little uneasy, and looked at Ruofei. Mu Gongzi, please rest assured, there are not many people who can become superiors, and generally no one is the opponent of Gongzi. ”

Mu Zixiao's hanging heart was put down peacefully, and the two sat quietly for a while, still in a state of vigilance, staring intently at the door.

Sure enough, not long after, Huo Nanqi came back, but when he entered the door, his face was not good, and he held the sword in his hand, obviously having a fight. Mu Zixiao hurriedly jumped out of bed, grabbed his arm to check whether he was injured, and said hurriedly: "How is it?" ”

"I'm fine, this person has good skills, and there are a lot of helpers, so I ran away." Huo Nanqi said in a deep voice, his fingers curled slightly, his mood was a little low, it didn't look like he was fine, Mu Zixiao and Ruofei were a little nervous, if he was still not at ease, he grabbed Huo Nanqi's wrist and took the pulse, took it for a while, and said to be sure: "Childe, did you encounter something, your face is not very good." ”

Huo Nanqi signaled that it was really fine, sat down at the table, picked up the candle, and said in a low voice: "If not, we may have met an acquaintance." The moment he finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze, and if he hadn't been stunned for a moment, he wasn't sure who this acquaintance was: "Childe?" ”

The flickering candle flame was a little unreal in the room, and the dim yellow candlelight shook Huo Nanqi's somewhat silent face, Huo Nanqi nodded and paused, as if he was struggling with whether to say the name or not, but he sighed and whispered: "Yanfeng." ”

When Mu Zixiao heard this name again, he remembered the scar on Huo Nanqi's body, and blurted out: "Is it the person who cut you?" Huo Nanqi lowered his eyes silently. If it weren't for the snort, he didn't suppress his anger, and shouted angrily: "It's him, this scum who eats inside and out!" His fingers clenched into fists, his bones rattled, and he gritted his teeth with hatred and said: "Didn't he do a good job as his general in Southern Xinjiang, we haven't found him yet, where did he come from to find us first?!" ”

Huo Nanqi held back his emotions and said, "It's okay, whoever looks for it is the same." If it weren't for the fact that he was still angry, he took a deep breath, adjusted his mood slightly, turned his head to look at Mu Zi and smiled, and said, "Mu Gongzi, can I please go back to Beijing first, this matter is dangerous, you should not accompany you." ”

Mu Zixiao hesitated for a moment and did not answer, he was not afraid of danger, but Huo Nanqi could be hurt so badly by Yan Feng, I am afraid that this person is really difficult to deal with, even if he is worried about Huo Nanqi, but if he forcibly follows him, he is only afraid that it will drag them back, after all, he is useless, hey. Thinking of this, Mu Zixiao nodded and said, "Okay, I will leave for Beijing tomorrow, but before that, can you tell Zixiao who this style of speech is?" ”

"Not necessarily." Huo Nanqi immediately responded.

"Childe doesn't have to do anything?" If it weren't for the heart, wouldn't you tell Mu Zixiao about the style of speech, too, since returning to Beijing after the battle, Huo Nanqi has never mentioned it to others again, and even every time he mentions the word style, Huo Nanqi will be furious. He smiled at Mu Zi and said, "Mu Gongzi still doesn't need to know about this. ”

"You don't have to go back, since his whereabouts are known, it will be dangerous for you to turn back now." Huo Nanqi put the saber on the table, glanced at Mu Zixiao and continued: "Let's stay here first, and then go to meet old acquaintances after solving this matter." At this moment, he seems to have more peace on his face, I haven't seen him for three years, have you really regretted betraying me, or regretting your past injustice.

"But Childe, Mu Gongzi has no martial arts at all, if he really encounters danger, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that it can't be saved, if the following words are not clearly stated, if it is just him and the young general, many things will be much easier, but bringing Mu Zixiao will tie their hands and feet, and it may even bring them a lot of trouble.

"That's right, brother, if you bring me, it's equivalent to bringing a drag oil bottle, which can't help you, but drags your feet. I'll be fine when I go back on my own. Mu Zixiao was a little restless, remembering what happened last time, for fear that Huo Nanqi would be injured again.

Huo Nanqi chuckled, his expression seemed to be firm, and he said in a deep voice: "If I lose anything this time, I don't have to live anymore." ”
