Tang Jingran took a deep breath and said, "Okay." ”

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a melodious flute sound. The sound of the flute is very clear and moving, making people feel as if they are in the blooming spring light, and like wandering under the rainbow after the rain, unconsciously relaxed and happy, indulged in it.

Yu Mian couldn't help but sigh: "This flute sound is beautiful to the ear, compared to the best musicians I have ever seen, it is not much better." ”

Tang was angry and funny, and gave him a blank look and said, "You have a clear mind, and you are still worried about whether the music is beautiful." If it weren't for the wax to protect us, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to live. She said, pointing to the Blood Butterfly.

Yu Mian looked up, stunned, it turned out that at some point, the blood butterflies had gathered outside the blue smoke of grass wax, surrounding a thick layer, which looked both gorgeous and weird.

"At first, I was worried that Mu Liuyan would hide and play the flute to plot against us, but now I am really not afraid. It's just that now you don't have to be afraid of him. We're safe and sound, and he's going to be forced to show up. Tang was shocked into a bamboo in his chest.

As soon as her words fell, she heard someone laugh and said, "Miss Tang has a good mind and a good plan!" With a laugh, a young man in a white robe stepped out from behind a towering ancient tree. The man was thin, with light eyebrows and long, narrow, focused eyes. As he spoke, there was a hint of a smile on his face, and he looked like a fairy-like figure, as if he had come out of an ancient painting scroll.

Tang Jingran and Yu Mian were stunned. Yu Mian secretly praised in his heart: What a different man.

Tang was shocked and raised his eyebrows slightly, silent, just looking at Mu Liuyan and sneering slightly.

Mu Liuyan's tone was light: "It is a blessing to be able to meet Yu Ge Lao's son and Fang Daxia's master apprentice today." can compete with Miss Tang, and there is honor in the bottom. ”

Tang was shocked with a little disdain in his eyes, and sneered: "Mu Liuyan, why do you want to pretend to be high here!" If you are really a person who is upright and bright, how can you put a cold arrow behind your back and use blood butterflies to plot against us? ”

Mu Liuyan's face was not shocked, and he said shallowly: "Miss Tang's words are wrong. It's not a plot of two people below. In my mind, there is no difference between a secret plan and an open gun, only a way. But if you can accomplish your mission, you should do it next. When he said these words, he did so without the slightest hesitation, as if what he said was all that was in his heart.

Tang was unmoved, and still sneered: "You keep saying very moving, so what? You are a master of the world, but you are willing to be a traitorous eagle dog, and you would rather have chaos in the world than plot to assassinate the son of a loyal minister. What's the difference between your approach and those eagle dogs? ”

Mu Liuyan's narrow eyes flashed a moment of tingling, but he immediately said: "Entrusted by others, the matter of loyalty is also a last resort, and I ask you to forgive me." In his mouth, taking people's lives has become a last resort, and Yu Mian was very angry, and Yu Mian said angrily: "According to what you say, you can also be affectionate in the next, can you take your life casually?" His questioning actually made Mu Liuyan's face stained with shame.

However, Mu Liuyan still insisted: "Entrusted by others, loyal to people." ”

Tang was shocked to see that the grass wax was burning a little half, and he didn't want to continue talking nonsense with him, so he immediately said: "Okay, in that case, we might as well compare and compare." ”

"Yes." Mu Liuyan also agreed, took out the flute in his hand, and he did not forget to advise: "I have already ordered the blood butterfly to devour people with the flute, if the girl wants the blood butterfly to disperse, there are only two ways." The first is that the girl is subdued below, and let the girl take away the blood butterfly below. But in the next place, he would rather die than give in. Second, the girl was killed. Every blood butterfly has eaten the blood below, and as long as it dies next, these blood butterflies will die with it. ”

Tang was shocked for a moment, and he already had a plan in his heart. She clenched her fists and said, "So, thank you for the reminder." Tang was shocked to say what Mu Liuyan said, and he didn't doubt it at all. Although, she doesn't despise Mu Liuyan for helping her to do evil, but for some reason, she always has a good impression of Mu Liuyan in front of her, feeling that he doesn't look like a person who can do this kind of thing, and feels like he's being controlled by others.

At this time, Mu Liuyan had already blown the flute, urging the colorful blood butterfly. Tang was shocked and swept out of the circle, she knew that if she couldn't kill Mu Liuyan immediately and let the blood butterfly die immediately, I was afraid that the next moment the blood butterflies would gather on her body and suck up the blood in her body. Because, the trick she used, the first move was already a lore move.

As soon as Tang's stunned blue wave sword came out, he immediately let out a dragon roaring sound. This blue wave sword is an ancient sword, although it is not as powerful as Zhanlu, Tai'a, Chixiao, Longyuan and other peerless swords, it is still infinitely powerful. Just when her long sword pointed at Mu Liuyan's neck, she suddenly saw a look of relief in Mu Liuyan's eyes. Moreover, the horizontal flute in Mu Liuyan's hand did not move, and it seemed that he had no intention of fighting Tang Jingran at all.

Tang Jingran felt very strange. This Mu Liuyan acted so differently, but he didn't know what he was thinking. After a few words of negotiation, Tang was able to determine that this Mu Liuyan was not a heinous bad person. Therefore, when her sword was less than an inch away from Mu Liuyan's throat, she took a step back forcefully and retracted the Bibo Sword in her hand in time.

And at this moment, Mu Liuyan's face was also full of surprise. He didn't understand, why Tang Jingran still wanted his life a moment ago, but let him go in an instant?

Tang was shocked to retreat, and immediately a swarm of blood butterflies swooped over, Tang was shocked, jumped up from the ground, and jumped a few feet away. Her posture is vigorous and agile, but Yu Mian's heart is in her throat. You must know that no matter how good a person's light work is, it is always better than a butterfly with wings.

Seeing Tang startled, the blood butterfly flew over again. Tang Ran jumped back a few more steps. But the more she retreated, the tighter the Blood Butterfly chased after her, and she felt that each time she retreated, she was not as powerful as the last.

Seeing that the blood butterfly was about to catch up with her, Mu Liuyan suddenly picked up the flute in his hand, put it to his mouth, and blew out a piece of music like heavy rain falling sharply and a hundred birds throwing into the forest. What made Tang Jingran curious was that those blood butterflies did not come forward after hearing the sound of the flute. Instead, it spun around a few times in mid-air and soon flew away.

Tang was shocked to understand that it was Mu Liuyan who helped her. If Mu Liuyan had a little worry and hesitation, now Tang Jingran is no longer alive.

The feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe suddenly came to his heart, and Tang was shocked to sigh for a while, and asked, "Mu Liuyan, why do you want to help me?" ”

Mu Liuyan's narrow eyes flashed with a faint sadness, and he said quietly: "You didn't kill me just now, did you?" Actually, you could have stabbed me to death with a sword. I took the Blood Butterfly with me, just to repay your innocence. After speaking, he hugged his fists and said: "I will say goodbye, the road to Nanjing is difficult and dangerous, and the two of you cherish it again." With that, the robe floated away.

Tang was shocked to look at his disappearing figure, and unexpectedly felt a little more melancholy and confusion in his heart. Gujing Bubo's jade ice heart actually rippled slowly. She knew that Mu Liuyan was a master of the world, but she never thought that he was so young and so affectionate. She felt that she could read his eyes, and she always felt that his heart seemed to have a deep heart. came to chase and kill Yu Mian, it was not what he wanted, and it seemed that he had to come.

Yu Mian rushed forward and said anxiously, "Girl, are you okay?" It's really dangerous. ”

Tang was shocked and smiled: "It's okay." I didn't mean to kill us when I looked at Mu Liuyan. Although the danger has been temporarily turned into a disaster, the road ahead is still full of dangers, and we still have to be careful. ”

"Yes." Yu Mian nodded in response, and the two continued to move forward. The two walked on the official road, and along the way, they did not encounter any more killer attacks. Yu Mian felt a lot more relieved, and said to Tang Jingran: "Miss Tang, didn't you say that the people who chased and killed would not let us go?" Along the way, I felt a lot more peaceful. Maybe they won't come back. With you, a martial arts master, here, everyone has to be afraid. ”

Tang glanced at him in shock, and said with a smile: "When did you become flamboyant?" I didn't meet a real master, but I was pretty good. Once you meet a real master, you know that I am really not a master. ”

Yu Mian smiled, and still picked up the joke and told Tang Jingran to listen. The wound on his shoulder ached faintly, and he struggled to walk. He didn't want to cause trouble to Tang Jingran, so he couldn't bear to say it, just looking for some topics to divert the pain on his body. Moreover, he saw that since he met Mu Liuyan, Tang Jingran was a little absent-minded, and he didn't want her to worry too much.

The sun gradually grew bigger, and the scorching sun shone on his face, stinging his face a little painfully. Yu Mian said: "It's late autumn now, but the sun is still so hot. ”

Tang was shocked to see that he was sweating and there were faint traces of blood oozing from his shoulders, so he pointed to the front and said, "There is a village in front, why don't we go and buy some food from the villagers." The knife wound medicine on your body also needs to be replaced. ”

Yu Mian nodded in response: "Okay." So, the two of them walked along the official road to the village.

It is a very old-looking village, nestled among tall trees. The village is full of people, with white hair hanging down, and they are comfortable. The only thing that made Tang Jingran and Yu Mian feel strange was that the whole village was full of old and weak women and children, and there was not a single man in his prime.

Tang was shocked to see a peasant woman who was farming under the scorching sun, and she was very kind and kind, so she stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, is there a sharp inn in the village?" The two of us are hunters, and as we pass by, my brother has been bitten by a wild beast and wants to rest here. ”

The peasant woman glanced at Tang Jingran, and saw that she was outstanding in appearance and good manners, and she did not believe that she was an ordinary hunter in her heart. She looked at Yu Mian again, and saw that Yu Mian was a weak scholar, and there were faint blood stains on his shoulders, so she couldn't help but feel compassion, and said: "The name of our village is 'Tieye Village', and the people in the village are all from ancient times, where are there any sharp inns?" You two don't dislike it, just go to my house to rest and eat something by the way. “

Tang was very strange in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Auntie, Tieye Village is located next to the official road, and there should be many merchants from Nanjing City to Shuntian Mansion, why is there not even an inn in the village?" ”

The peasant woman sighed as she packed up her farm tools, "It wasn't like this before. In the past, there were several inns in our village, and merchants who came and went on the official road would come to Tieye Village to rest. Afterward...... Then there was none. Nanjing City to Shuntianfu, this is not the only official road, usually not many people pass by this road. Ordinary people are in Baiyun Mountain, twenty miles away from Tieye Village, so they turn to another road. ”

"Why is that?" Yu Mian was a little puzzled, he asked while looking at the old woman.

The old woman shook her head and said, "You are passers-by, don't ask so much about it, why bother to get into trouble." Come back with me, rest for a while, eat something, and go quickly. If someone asks, you just say it's my nephew and niece-in-law. Don't talk too much, and don't ask about anything. Otherwise, if something happens, I won't be able to help you. ”

Yu Mian saw that the old woman was talking very strangely, so she continued to ask, but Tang Jingran had already pulled her shirt and signaled him not to say more. Tang Jingran has been walking the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and he is used to seeing the wind and rain and strange things in the rivers and lakes, and he is also used to seeing big scenes, and he knows that he must be calm and don't ask questions when encountering things. Yu Mian has been outside the plug all these years, so naturally he doesn't know so much. It's just that he saw that Tang was shocked and didn't allow himself to continue asking, so he obediently stopped talking.

The two men followed the old woman and walked into the village. The houses in the village are very old and look like they haven't been repaired for years. In front of the door, there sat some elderly women or children of a few years old, and several elderly men, all with broken legs or hands, with wooden expressions, and turned a blind eye when they saw someone coming.

Tang Jingran and Yu Mian were shocked, this village looked very weird and weird, not like an ordinary village. Could it have been something that had happened in the village?

The two men stared at each other and involuntarily raised their vigilance. At that moment, a man with a disheveled hair rushed towards the two of them. The man slammed into the ground very violently, and Yu Mian was almost hit by her. Tang was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly pulled out the Bibo Sword in his hand.

The man who had charged them raised his head and looked at them a few times, as if he had seen some kind of monster, and screamed. Only then did they see that the man was a mother-in-law in her sixties, quite tall, and her body looked strong. It's just a blank eye, obviously a madman.

The peasant woman seemed accustomed to such a scene and was not surprised. She gently patted the old woman's shoulder, and said, "Jian Shengniang, why did you run out again?" ”

The old woman suddenly showed a strange smile at the peasant woman, then pointed at Tang Jingran and Yu Mian, and said loudly, "God will punish you!" God will punish you! I'm going to punish you! You devils! She kept repeating these words, a dozen times in a row, and the whole person became inexplicably excited.

The peasant woman shook her head, patted her shoulder, and said softly: "Jiansheng Niang, although Jiansheng is not here, you have to take good care of yourself." If you make it look like this, if you know the sword life, you won't feel at ease. Hurry up and get home. Otherwise, in a while, your daughter-in-law will be looking for you all over the village. ”

When the old woman heard the word Jiansheng, a very strange light suddenly appeared in her cloudy old eyes, and she shouted in a sharp voice: "Jiansheng is not dead!" The sword is alive and not dead! You bad guys are not allowed to take Jiansheng away! You are not allowed to speak ill of Jian Sheng! God will punish you! God will punish you! I'm going to punish you severely! ”

The old woman screamed and ran away. Her voice is very high-pitched, and it still makes people feel creepy when it sounds in broad daylight. Tang Jingran and Yu Mian both felt a chill in their hearts, and they even felt that they should not come to this village to find an inn, this village made people feel very frightened and depressed.

The peasant woman didn't seem to be surprised, there was no emotion in her voice, and she said to Tang and Yu Mian: "Let's go." ”

Yu Mian still couldn't help it, and asked: "Auntie, Fang Cai's mother-in-law doesn't seem to be crazy in the first place, as if she was stimulated by something." ”

The old woman was silent for a moment, but did not refute. "Her only son died, and she couldn't stand the stimulation to become what she is now," she said. It's just the pain of losing a child, who hasn't experienced it in Tetsuno Village? Look away, that's it. ”

Yu Mian and Tang were shocked to hear the peasant woman say such words, and they felt quite strange in their hearts. Yu Mian couldn't help but continue to ask, but the peasant woman refused to answer no matter what. The two had no choice but to follow her on.

After walking another hundred and ten meters, I saw a woman who was about the same age as Tang Jingran walking over. The woman was also dressed as a peasant woman, and her face was a little blue and red, which must have been caused by the scorching sun for a long time. When she saw the peasant woman, tears almost fell out, and she hurriedly asked, "Aunt Caulihua, have you seen my mother-in-law?" ”

The peasant woman nodded, pointed to the front, and said, "Your mother-in-law just ran over there." You can chase faster, and you can catch up. “

The woman wiped her tears and thanked her repeatedly, saying, "It's a shame for you to see it." Otherwise, my mother-in-law has three strengths and two weaknesses, how can I be worthy of Jiansheng. After saying that, he hurried after the mad old woman.

The peasant woman just sighed and didn't say a word. Yu Mian always couldn't help asking, but the peasant woman said: "What you see and hear in Tieye Village, you should treat it as if you haven't seen anything and heard nothing." Tetsuno Village is a cursed village, and if you ask too much about it, it will bring disaster to you. “

Tang was silent in thought. She also felt very confused about what had happened. She didn't know if this strange Tetsuno Village was a trap she encountered along the way. Or maybe everything in Tetsuno Village is real. This village has been cursed. Otherwise, why isn't there a single man in the prime of life in the village? Even the older men were all broken hands and feet.

The two men walked for a while, and finally came to the peasant woman's house. The peasant woman's house consisted of two thatched houses, and the courtyard was somewhat narrow, with a few vegetables and fruit trees planted in the middle. Under the fruit tree, a little boy of eight or nine years old was counting ants and playing. When he saw the peasant woman returning, the little boy jumped up and pounced on him, and said happily, "Grandma, you are back!" “
