If you want to get to Banyunshe, you will definitely pass through the mountain trails, and the road is quiet and quiet, but no one has appreciated the scenery of Yaxing.

I don't know what I saw ahead, the Marquis of Jinxi suddenly pulled the reins tightly and stopped the horse, Kou Min didn't know what he was going to do, but he was a clever man, and he pulled the reins tightly when he saw that the situation was wrong, and stopped the carriage, he looked at the Marquis of Jinxi with a suspicious face, and asked softly, "What's the matter, Lord Hou?" ”

Jin Xihou put his finger on his lips to signal him not to speak, his expression was solemn, and he turned over and dismounted in the next moment, and as soon as his footsteps slipped, he jumped over lightly.

Xiao Xuanyu also poked his head out and glanced at Kou Min, who shook his head helplessly.

Jin Xihou walked to the dead wood and paused, he frowned, his eyes searched back and forth, he secretly said in his heart, he obviously saw a figure in black flashing, why is it gone, do you already perceive his arrival?

Suddenly, a figure stopped in front of him for a moment, and then quickly passed by.

Jin Xihou was shocked suddenly, this situation was like hitting a ghost, he frowned his sword eyebrows, revealing a sharp gaze to look at the woods, and the next moment the sword was unsheathed, and the feeling of killing flashed with the cold light, and it was broken, "Come out." ”

For a long time, there was no movement except for the sound of the cold wind.

Suddenly, the dead grass "whoosh", his sword blade swept across the air, and instantly provoked a black move and shook it fiercely, the black thing hit the dead tree and did not die immediately, Jin Xihou did not stop there, he immediately swept his empty palm, grabbed the tail of the black thing, and a strong wind-like force waved towards the dead tree, and the black thing was angry.

Jin Xihou looked at the thing in his hand in confusion, "How can it be a long worm?" Obviously, what I just saw was people. ”

"Xuan Yu, look."

Jin Xihou immediately took his loot and walked to Xiao Xuanyu and them to show them, when he saw that it was a snake, Qianshan Xue screamed and hid behind Xiao Xuanyu, his face was already white, and this fright was even more pale.

This sudden move made them laugh, especially Jin Xihou, he seemed to have discovered something interesting, he raised his eyebrows, his eyes rolled straight, and he took advantage of Qianshan Xue's unpreparedness, and threw the snake in her hands, and there was another scream that pierced the eardrum, Qianshan Xue's face was frightened, she threw the snake away in a panic and ran away, and Jin Xihou followed closely after him.

Xiao Xuanyu Zhiyi looked at the countless Qianshan Xue back and forth, holding back a smile, seeing that Jin Xihou was almost making trouble, he dragged her, but Qianshan Xue didn't seem to be able to stop, she trembled, covered her ears with her hands, and kept muttering, "Snake, snake ......"

Xiao Xuanyu called her a few more times, she was deaf and still couldn't calm down, he had to hug the person in his arms, which seemed to work very well, the warm embrace soothed Qianshan Xue's restless heart, just a short moment, the person gradually calmed down in his arms.

"How can you be afraid of this? This worm is dead, how can a man be as lifeless as a woman. ”

Xiao Xuanyu glanced at him, and Jin Xihou trembled all over, so he didn't say anything more.

After saying a word, Qian Shanxue felt that her performance was too embarrassing, but what made her feel even more ashamed was that she hugged Xiao Xuanyu tightly.

She raised her head suddenly, glanced at the nonchalant eyes, and saw that his shirt was already wet, and she couldn't tell whether it was her own tears or snot, she hurriedly reached out and wiped it, the feeling was slightly sticky, she was instantly embarrassed and a little helpless, and slowly withdrew from the other party's embrace with a blushing face.

It's just that she was unlucky, facing a demonic person, and the person didn't die and made up for it, "It's okay, you can hold it for a while." ”

Qianshan Xue couldn't help but squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and smiled, "The master smiled, Shanxue has been afraid of snakes since he was a child." ”

"You're talking about long worms?"

Xiao Xuanyu frowned and pondered, as if he was a little puzzled by what she said.

Qianshan Xue suddenly realized, they call this thing a long worm, she hides a different kind of thought, not letting the other party see through, lowering her eyes and nodding, sometimes silence can eliminate doubts more than justification.

"You're not even afraid of death, how can you be afraid of this? It's not like you're plain, it's like a woman. ”

Xiao Xuanyu frowned, looked at her with a little disgust, and saw that her eyes flashed and she didn't seem to have gotten out of Fang Cai's fear, and didn't want her to speak first, so she continued, "What else are you afraid of?" ”

Qian Shanxue raised her drooping head slightly, she was slightly surprised, the master's voice was not like a scolding, but like a light training, she looked at him deeply, her dark eyes condensed, and she locked on Xiao Xuanyu's face steadily, "Shanxue is most afraid of the master." ”

After speaking, he lowered his eyes again.

Xiao Xuanyu's complex emotions were mixed with surprise, doubt, melancholy, and a light angry smile spread on his lips, he stared at it, and said indifferently: "Afraid? That's right, do your part. ”

"Yes, mountain snow remember."

Qian Shanxue bit her lower lip lightly and brushed her face aside, she didn't want Xiao Xuanyu to see through her thoughts, she was really afraid of him, thinking of what Kou Min said, she couldn't let go of her guard until now, and she didn't know if Fang Cai's attitude would make him mistakenly think that he wanted to get close to him, thinking of this, she was even more afraid, next time, she couldn't pounce again.

She was thinking about her thoughts in a daze, and suddenly her eyes darkened, and Jin Xihou began to play tricks on her with snakes again, maybe it was Fang Cai's excessive fright, she seemed to have eased up, although she was still a little afraid, but she could accept it.

Jin Xihou shook the snake in front of her several times, the snake was only an inch away from her, seeing that she still had no reaction, she felt a little bored, pouted, and turned around to leave, Qianshan Xue was originally a little tired between her eyebrows, and suddenly she slowly raised her head, her eyes were like water and she stared firmly at the snake in his hand, and suddenly said, "Hou Ye wait." ”

Jin Xihou turned around slowly, looked at her with a blank expression, and waited for her next words, "What's the matter?" ”

"I want to smell this worm."

"Huh?"

Jin Xihou stopped.

Xiao Xuanyu was stunned.

Kou Min opened his mouth wide, his face shocked, this slave is scared stupid.

Qianshan Xue ignored everyone's astonishment, she hurriedly walked towards Jin Xihou, and the next moment she leaned over to the snake to sniff, closed her eyes, first sniffed lightly, and then sniffed again, this action took the trouble to go back and forth several times, very intoxicated, very pious.

The three of them exchanged glances in unison, put their hands on their foreheads, and looked at the sky.

"Sure enough, it tastes like this."

Qianshan Xue opened her eyes after a long time, said slowly, turned around, glanced at them, the shocked expressions of the three did not dissipate, she smiled ignorantly, and finally her soft gaze fell on Xiao Xuanyu's body, she took a small step and bowed, "Master, Shanxue is particularly sensitive to special smells, and the assassin who assassinated us has a special smell, so that Shanxue remembers, thanks to the Hou Ye's arrest of this long worm, this long worm has the taste of those assassins." ”

The three of them looked slightly shocked.

Xiao Xuanyu stared at her for a moment, then walked up to Jin Xihou and looked at her carefully, then turned back to look at her, and deliberately joked lightly, "This long worm has eaten all the assassins?" ”

"Yes, I ate it."

Before they could react, with a sudden sound, the Marquis of Jin Xi suddenly threw the snake, and then wiped his hand on his clothes, a little disgusted.

"Joke, it's only three feet long, how can it swallow so many people?"

Only then did Qianshan Xue react, knowing that they were misled by her words, and said with a smile in her eyes, "Of course it wasn't swallowed in the stomach, but it must have been bitten, and we may be able to find them in the direction it crawled from." ”

Xiao Xuanyu's opinion of her has changed in a different way, he was originally surprised by her medical skills, but now he secretly praised her delicacy, he showed a smile in his eyes, and quietly hid the admiration in his heart, but instantly regained his calm, and said coldly, "Then take a look." ”

They gradually walked in the direction of the dead wood to the depths of the woods, but they didn't find anything after walking for a long time, Jin Xihou was disdainful in his heart, such a timid guy like a mouse, but he was just a fool of himself, and he wanted to arouse the favor of his master, but he actually had no ability at all.

"Are all the assassins in the belly of the worm?"

Qianshanxue ignored his sarcasm and continued to search, while Xiao Xuanyu seemed to have a solemn expression and no waves, he suddenly seemed to have found something, leaned down and picked up something, Jin Xihou took a closer look, his eyes flashed, his gaze was deeply locked on Qianshanxue's body, and he looked at her carefully.

They lingered in front of a soil fertile, because there were no weeds in this piece of soil fertile, it seemed to be newly filled to attract Xiao Xuanyu's attention, he slightly picked it with the tip of his sword, and a stiff hand broke through the ground, Jin Xihou was startled, and couldn't help but look at the thousand mountains and snow.

The three of them were waiting for Qianshan Xue to scream in shock, she didn't want to, her face was not waveless, she immediately squatted down, carefully inspected her hands, and then she used her hand to shovel to cut the soil covering it, and a stiff corpse was revealed, and then continued to dig the soil, and several more corpses were found one after another.

Seeing the tooth marks on their necks, Jin Xihou smiled contemptuously, "Sure enough, retribution." ”

"It wasn't the long worm that killed them, it was someone who killed someone, the wound on the chest, a sword was fatal, you see their expressions without pain, it shows that the swordsmanship is extremely fast."

Xiao Xuanyu said seriously while carefully examining the corpse.

The Marquis of Jin Xi was stunned, and hurriedly leaned down, carefully observing their wounds, and finally nodded approvingly after a while.

"But what about this long worm."

"Probably when he killed people, he made a mistake in digging the soil pit, which disturbed the good dream of the long worm."

Jin Xihou nodded in agreement with Xiao Xuanyu's explanation, but the next moment he remembered something, and hurriedly said, "How do you explain the figure I just saw?" ”

"Don't tell me what the hell you're doing?"

Jin Xihou trembled, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he secretly said in his heart, as he said, he really hit a ghost.

The solemnity that flashed between Xiao Xuanyu's eyebrows was not eliminated, he recalled the situation that night, there was a group of black-clothed people with red ribbons on their sleeves, but the corpses here did not, he opened their clothes one by one, and found the same tiger totem on his shoulders, he thought for a while, and chuckled, the situation was much more complicated than he imagined.

"How?"

"The assassins we saw that night, except for the innkeeper's people, were all dead soldiers in the palace."

"What? In the palace? ”

"Someone wants to protect me, and they don't want me to find out, this Moon Owner is bound to want me to go to the meeting."

Jin Xihou carefully considered his words, and could understand his mood at the moment, and wanted to comfort him but didn't know how to speak, so he had to pat him on the shoulder to show comfort.

The north wind blew from the northernmost valley, fierce and bleak, and the air was as dead as silence.
