Xu Chen suddenly knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he couldn't help lowering his head stupidly, and scratched the back of his head with his hand embarrassedly.

Huang Xiaoxue glanced at him, and said angrily: "Those thieves are all powerful characters, you said that I am a weak woman, can I defeat them with that useless spell I learned?"

"I'm sorry, I lost my words, Miss, don't blame. Xu Chen hurriedly apologized to her, thinking that I was chewing my tongue indiscriminately, and all the heroes who attacked Black Wind Mountain lost their lives, if she hadn't killed the Chaotian Tiger by mistake, I was afraid that I wouldn't have been able to come back alive.

He didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear of making this young lady unhappy again, and when he sent her back to Mingyue Villa, as Huang Xiaoxue expected, Huang Zhongjie saw his daughter sneaking out and was furious at home, and he turned his anger into joy when he saw her and Xu Chen together.

After a while, Lin Yu and Zhao Lei also came back, Huang Zhongjie had already heard Xu Chen say what had happened, and now he was very happy to see them doing things so smoothly, and he was a little more relieved to the son-in-law who was about to come to the door.

After dinner, Huang Zhongjie went back to the room to teach his daughter, Xu Chen had something in his heart, hurriedly returned to the wing where he was resting, covered the door, and unfolded the sheepskin scroll hidden under the pillow under the lamp to examine it carefully.

Although he didn't fully believe Lin Yue'er's words, he also knew that this scroll was very important, and at this moment, Xu Chen very much hoped that he could discover some unknown secrets from the picture.

But Xu Chen is not a very smart person, even if there are other secrets hidden in the picture, how can he find out with his little brain.

He looked at this picture under the lamp for nearly an hour, and he didn't see anything famous, but he found out from memory that his parchment scroll was indeed exactly the same as the one handed to Li Xianling, and even the tadpole script hidden at the foot of the mountain was exactly the same.

This is really strange, according to common sense, since it is a treasure map, it is a secret thing, naturally the fewer people who know, the better, but why did the person who hid the treasure draw two identical pictures?

Xu Chen thought about it, but came up with an answer, that is, the person who drew the picture was a cautious person, and he drew one more picture for backup, so that no one could find the treasure according to the clues in the picture after the other picture was lost.

Xu Chen felt that his speculation was quite reasonable, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud, just as he was about to put away the picture and go to sleep, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a burst of fragrance also penetrated into his nose.

"Hey, why don't you have a little politeness and don't knock on the door first when you come in?" Xu Chen exclaimed, but it was too late to hide the picture in his hand.

Huang Xiaoxue, who entered the door, glanced at him, sneered and said, "Hehe, do you have a ghost in your heart?" The house in the village doesn't belong to me, do I still need to greet you when I enter my own door?"

"You, you ......" Xu Chen wanted to count her down a few words, but thinking that he was a guest here, he had to stop talking with a blushing face.

The sharp-eyed Huang Xiaoxue had already seen the scroll in Xu Chen's hand, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you holding?" After speaking, regardless of whether Xu Chen wanted to come over closely, Xu Chen was caught up in his hand and was snatched by her jade hand.

"No, you didn't hand over the drawings to Guo Hong?" When Huang Xiaoxue saw the scroll in her hand clearly, she couldn't help but widen her apricot eyes, and she seemed to be a little angry.

Xu Chen hurriedly argued: "Who said that, I gave him that scroll a long time ago, you saw it with your own eyes." ”

"Yes, did you go to the county office and steal it back?"

"Fart, do you see what kind of person I am?" Hearing her indiscriminately plant, Xu Chen became even more angry.

"Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing ...... hearts" Huang Xiaoxue wanted to taunt him a few words, but suddenly closed her cherry mouth, because she saw the green stain on the scroll.

Of course, she remembered that the scroll she snatched from Lin Yue'er's hand during the day did not have this stain, and Huang Xiaoxue suddenly realized that she was holding another scroll in her hand.

She frowned lightly and sniffed the stain, and couldn't help but say in a lost voice, "This is the blood left by the monster!"

"Miss Huang is so smart, she judged it so quickly. Xu Chen replied indistinctly, and wanted to praise her a few more words, but found that Huang Xiaoxue's face suddenly changed, and she became a little anxious and uneasy.

She actually grabbed Xu Chen's collar and said in the tone of interrogating the prisoner: "Tell me honestly, where did you get your scroll? Lin Yue'er's sassy fox will never have a second painting of the same kind!"

"Yes, she can't have another one. Xu Chen couldn't hide it, so he had to tell her the origin of this scroll truthfully.

"What, you said we ran into a monster on the way back?" Huang Xiaoxue let go of her hand and sat on the chair in a daze as if she had been electrocuted.

Xu Chen saw the panic and fear in her eyes, and suddenly felt unbearable, thinking that people had just recovered from that nightmare, how could I make her frightened again, so he opened his mouth to comfort her and said: "Miss Huang, don't be afraid, that monster can't beat me, it has been driven away by me, and it will never come again." ”

"Alas!" Huang Xiaoxue let out a long breath, her face recovered a lot, and she calmed down and said, "Don't you think it's strange that there are actually two identical treasure maps, and you still got this one from the hands of the monster?"

I thought it might be that the treasure collector was worried about the loss of the original painting, so I drew another one. Xu Chen said the conclusion he had just deduced.

"I admit that there is such a possibility as you say. Huang Xiaoxue asked him: "Those who can become demons have a much longer lifespan than us, if he wants to get gold, silver and jewelry, it is simply in his pocket, what is the use of him asking for a treasure map?"

Huang Xiaoxue's words knocked Xu Chen down, he had this idea before, but he couldn't guess the motive of the monster.

"Rustling ......"

A small sound came from outside the door, Xu Chen was immediately alert, turned his head to look out the window, there seemed to be a faint light that flashed and disappeared, and then there was no movement.

"It looks like someone is eavesdropping!" Xu Chen hurriedly pushed the door out.

A sudden chill came from above his head, and before Xu Chen could look up, a fierce murderous aura struck from above, and his instinctive body shrank straight back, and then closed the door!

"Khooth!" The fire in front of him was stirring, and the sneak attacker split the gate with a sword, tearing it apart!

Xu Chen quickly gathered the true qi of his whole body and released it all, and between the swings of his right hand, the cold ice sword emitted a breathtaking light, and without saying a word, he held the sword and met it, stabbing directly into the chest.

Only then did he see that the enemy was dressed in black, and his face was covered with a black scarf, which was obviously prepared.

The man in black was not afraid at all when he saw Xu Chen's attack, and with a shake of his hand, he used three swords in a row, and his moves bloomed like sparks, and his momentum was very amazing!

"What a fast swordsmanship!" Xu Chen exclaimed, suddenly knowing that the comer was a strong enemy, he hurriedly changed his sword halfway to resist it, and defused the enemy's three consecutive attacks.

Peeking in, Huang Xiaoxue stood behind him watching the battle, and Xu Chen immediately shouted at her: "I'll drag this thief, Miss go and call someone to help!"

finally rescued Huang Xiaoxue from Heifeng Mountain, Xu Chen didn't want her to be kidnapped by thieves again, otherwise he would have to go to great lengths to save this pampered daughter.

"Hmph, are you okay?" The man in black floated up like a ghost, crossed the top of Xu Chen's head, and the long sword in his hand hit directly above Huang Xiaoxue's jade neck.

Xu Chen's reaction was also extremely fast, and at the moment when he flew away, the cold ice sword blade immediately turned, and slashed at his back mercilessly!

With a "flutter", Xu Chen's sword was slashed and slashed, and the man in black was immediately stabbed in the back.

Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, something surprising happened, the whole body of the man in black turned into a puff of black smoke and rolled out of the window.

The black smoke and the night outside the window blended perfectly, and Xu Chen could only watch it successfully escape from under his nose.

Xu Chen was still unwilling, and just wanted to jump out of the window to continue tracking, but Huang Xiaoxue had already stopped him from behind.

"Don't chase him, he's a monster, and if you chase him out, it's easy to fall for his tricks. ”

Xu Chen thought to himself, what human can have such a way to escape, this sneak attack guy can only be a monster who has cultivated to the essence. So he turned around and said, "Count him lucky today, if he hadn't run fast, he would have become my sword ghost." ”
