Chapter 18 Changing Tracks
"Vomit ......"
Early morning.
The morning light is faint.
A small hill on the outskirts of Sangshui County.
Xia Fan looked helplessly at Shi Xiaofei, who was kneeling in the snow and constantly retching in pain.
Obviously, he had already paid attention to protecting Shi Xiaofei's body during the high-speed running.
However, he still misestimated Shi Xiaofei's physical endurance.
It's not.
He returned to Sangshui County and just put down Shi Xiaofei.
Shi Xiaofei immediately vomited wildly.
Xia Fan, who was startled, hurriedly gave him a few breaths of true qi and straightened out the chaotic aura in his body.
Unfortunately, although his body is fine, the vomiting still shows no signs of stopping.
Xia Fan was a little helpless in this regard.
Because it is likely that his vomiting symptoms have changed from a physiological response to a psychological response.
It's hard to recover for a while.
He was a little worried.
It won't leave him with any after-effects, will it?
β...... Seniors, let you worry, juniors are already fine. β
Long.
Shi Xiaofei stretched out his hand and wiped his mouth, and stood up tremblingly, he squeezed out a smile towards Xia Fanqiang, and his voice was a little weak and weak.
"Are you really okay?"
Xia Fan sighed lightly, he looked at Shi Xiaofei, who was pale, stepped forward and patted him on the back, and at the same time once again injected some true qi into his body.
"Hoo ......"
Feeling the warm true qi that nourishes the qi, blood and viscera in his body, Shi Xiaofei can't help but breathe a sigh of relief just like soaking in hot water, and his body makes a crackling sound.
Unexpectedly, he inadvertently opened up the important acupoints in his body with Xia Fan's true qi, and suddenly officially stepped into the realm of enlightenment.
"Tsk. β
Of course, Xia Fan sensed Shi Xiaofei's breakthrough.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
It is worthy of being a child of destiny!
You can break through with a high-speed hitchhiker, this thing doesn't make sense at all, could it be that Lao Tzu has really become his grandfather?
"Thank you for your kindness...... The younger generation owes you a favor again......"
When Shi Xiaofei came back to his senses, he hurriedly bowed his hand to Xia Fan, and the expression on his face was complicated.
"Don't thank me, this is your fate, I just pushed the boat with the flow. β
Xia Fan waved his hand disappreciatively.
β...... Senior, what kind of place is this?"
Shi Xiaofei wanted to speak and stopped, and finally changed the topic with a wry smile.
"Sangshui County, Qinzhou. β
Xia Fan put his hands behind his back and looked at the outline of the city in Sangshui County in the distance.
"Qinzhou Sangshui?"
When Shi Xiaofei heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.
He remembered that Qinzhou seemed to be a large state near Gyeonggi.
And Gyeonggi is not known how many thousands of miles away from Chongzhou Damin Mountain.
The result was overnight.
He actually let his predecessors take him thousands of miles away?
This is really shocking to his worldview.
β...... This senior, I don't know why you brought the junior to Sangshui?"
Shi Xiaofei was silent for a moment, and he couldn't help but wonder when he finally calmed down.
"It starts with your adoptive father......
Xia Fan couldn't say anything.
"The adoptive father of the junior?!"
Shi Xiaofei was confused.
What does this have to do with his adoptive father?
"Listen carefully to me one by one......"
Immediately.
Xia Fan told Shi Xiaofei all about the situation of Cui Xingping and Wei Anshan, as well as his own discoveries.
So far.
If he wants to get rid of Shi Xiaofei's fate.
Then he must get Shi Xiaofei's fate back on track.
And the source of all this is inseparable from Cui Xingping and Wei Anshan.
If there is no appearance of oneself.
The person who tracked down the truth at the beginning should have been Shi Xiaofei.
It's a pity that who let Xia Fan insert a bar, and accidentally changed each other's fate.
Fortunately, he found out in time, and it was not too late to make amends.
He had been strange before.
Originally, he hadn't encountered any mess since he left the mountain.
Until his investigation into the death of Wei Anshan's family began.
The trajectory of his life suddenly took an inexplicable turn.
It is as if there is an invisible hand at the mercy of his own destiny.
At first, he thought it was all Ning Duo's calculations.
The problem is that all this is too much of a coincidence, even if Ning Duo is wise and close to the demon, she can't arrange herself clearly in all aspects, right?
He hadn't forgotten Su Yunxiao's evaluation of Ning Duo.
There is more than cunning, but the pattern is insufficient.
If.
Ning Duo is just playing a role in adding fuel to the fire?
Never underestimate the intuition of a great grandmaster.
Especially after Xia Fan realized that something was wrong, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
If he hadn't appeared, who would have taken his place in his current position?
This kind of thing simply doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
Xia Fan quickly thought of Shi Xiaofei.
When he and Shi Xiaofei met for the first time, he joked whether the other party would be the protagonist of this world.
I didn't expect him to really say a prophecy.
Once there is suspicion, the more suspicions are exposed on Shi Xiaofei's body.
Why can he get the Heaven Thief Decision when his martial arts are sparse?
Why was he able to escape the chase so many times?
Unlessβ
This is a deliberate arrangement.
It's just that his own appearance disrupted the original plan of the people behind the scenes.
And then next.
Why did Wei Anshan reappear after many years?
Calculating the time, if nothing else, Shi Xiaofei is very likely to have an intersection with Wei Anshan.
Although he is not Wei Anshan's opponent, he may suddenly burst into flames with the determination to steal the sky.
And who can guarantee that Shi Xiaofei will be alone.
Gu Xiqiao, Xie Linyuan.
They may all become Shi Xiaofei's companions.
Isn't teaming up to fight bosses common sense in routines?
And then.
An inflection point of fate has emerged.
In a nutshell.
Xia Fan took Shi Xiaofei's pre-task to himself.
From that moment on.
He is equivalent to carrying Shi Xiaofei's future fate.
It can be described as a wrong step, a wrong step.
"Senior...... Why didn't you tell me about your adoptive father earlier?"
Shi Xiaofei was silent for a long time after listening.
"At that time, I just didn't want to ruin the good image of your adoptive father in your heart. β
Xia Fan said softly.
"Then why are the seniors telling the juniors about this now?"
Shi Xiaofei looked at Xia Fandao with complicated eyes.
"According to my investigation, it is very likely that your adoptive father was framed back then, and the Soul Forgetting Sect has a major suspicion, but unfortunately I have been startled now, and the people of the Soul Forgetting Sect do not dare to come forward in front of me, and the clues are completely interrupted here......
said.
Xia Fan patted Shi Xiaofei's shoulder and said.
"That's why I thought of you. β
"Senior, you seem to think too highly of the junior, since you can't even find out, let alone the junior......"
Shi Xiaofei said bitterly when he heard this.
How could he not know about the Soul Forgetting Sect.
This is the most secret sect in the branch of the Great Demon Sect.
Even the Star Picking Tower did not dare to underestimate the existence in the slightest.
Now listen to Xia Fan's meaning.
Helpless, he seemed to intend to make himself shoulder the task of tracking down the Forgotten Soul Sect.
The problem is that he doesn't have this ability either!
"Xiaofei, don't you want to clear your adoptive father's grievances?"
Xia Fan said with a stern face.
Of course the juniors want to, but the juniors are worried that they can't do it. Shi Xiaofei said with a gloomy expression. "Senior, since you suspect that all this is behind the Soul Forgetting Sect, why didn't you tell Star Picking Tower? I believe that Master will definitely investigate this matter after knowing this!"
"Because your adoptive father's business may be more than meets the eye. Xia Fan said in a deep voice. "Once the Star Picking Tower is alarmed, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Soul Forgetting Sect at that time, so do you think we still have a chance to investigate the truth of the year?"
"The meaning of the seniors understands the younger generations. β
Shi Xiaofei said in a low mood.
Seniors are afraid of startling the grass again.
Therefore, the investigation must be carried out in secret, and must not be publicized in a big way.
"You don't have to worry too much, at least I'll attract the attention of the Forgotten Soul Sect for you on the bright side. β
Xia Fan comforted Shi Xiaofei.
"In the same way, I won't let you track it down alone. β
"Senior, is this the purpose of you bringing me to Sangshui?"
Shi Xiaofei reacted instantly.
"That's right!"
Xia Fan nodded with a teachable expression.
Then he told Shi Xiaofei the truth about Liu Zhaoyi and the dungeon.
β...... Senior, do you want the juniors to expose this Liu Zhaoyi, so as to rescue the righteous warriors imprisoned in the dungeon?"
Shi Xiaofei said thoughtfully.
"You're only half right. β
Xia Fan suddenly showed a mysterious smile.
"Xiaofei, have you ever heard of the bitter meat plan?"
"Bitter Meat Scheme?!"
Shi Xiaofei looked at Xia Fan inexplicably, and inexplicably had an ominous premonition in his heart.
......
"Childe?!You're back!"
Lying on the table and sleeping in a daze, Liu Yingying raised her head with feeling.
As a result, he was surprised and delighted to find that Xia Fan was sitting opposite him, slowly making himself a cup of tea.
"Well, it's back. β
Xia Fan said with a refreshed face.
"Nothing happened in the time I've been away, has it?"
"This ......"
Liu Yingying subconsciously shook her head, but immediately nodded again.
"What do you mean?"
Xia Fan was stunned.
"After Gongzi left, Yingying really didn't encounter anything, but the girl Zhao and Gongzi Xie who Gongzi knew left the inn yesterday and haven't come back. β
Liu Yingying hurriedly explained.
"Do you know where these two have gone?"
Xia Fan wondered.
"Yesterday the warbler stayed in the room all the time, so the warbler doesn't know where they went. β
The willow warbler said truthfully.
"I'll go out and ask. β
Xia Fan thought about it, put down the teacup and walked towards the door.
Moment.
He found Xiao Er in the inn.
asked the other party if he had seen Zhao Qingtong and Xie Linyuan yesterday.
Xiao Er told him.
He had indeed seen these two, and as soon as Zhao Qingtong left the inn with his front foot, Xie Linyuan followed with his back foot.
He never saw them again.
"Childe, no news?"
Back to the room.
The willow warbler immediately stepped forward.
"No, but with their martial arts, they shouldn't encounter any danger, unless ......"
Xia Fan stopped abruptly halfway through his words.
"Unless what?"
Liu Yingying said curiously.
"Unless someone arrests them. β
An intriguing smile appeared on Xia Fan's face.
In Sangshui County, there are only two people who have the ability to quietly catch Zhao Qingtong and Xie Linyuan.
One is Liu Zhaoyi.
The other is Russell Qing.
But the latter had no incentive to arrest them.
Other words.
This is likely to be done by Liu Zhaoyi himself.
But why did he arrest them?
Could it be that they sensed something that aroused Liu Zhaoyi's vigilance?
Never mind.
As long as the person is not dead.
It's all going to end soon.
Because.
The show has just begun, and his favorite protagonist is on the line.
Meanwhile.
Shi Xiaofei came to an ordinary house openly and knocked on the gate of the courtyard casually.
"Brother Lu!
After shouting a few words in succession, there was no response in the courtyard.
"Who are you looking for?!"
At this time.
The courtyard not far away suddenly opened the door, and a man with a vigilant face leaned out of it.
"Sorry to bother, I'm looking for someone, may I ask, have there been two men and a woman staying here during this time? The men are called Lu Shaoyang and Wang Huan, and the women are called Xu Ping'er. β
Shi Xiaofei immediately asked politely towards the man.
"What are you looking for them?"
The man's eyes were full of wariness.
"I won't tell you, I am their close friend, some time ago, Brother Lu sent me a letter, claiming that he wanted to ask me for help, so he rushed to Sangshui non-stop, but after I found it according to the address he said, it turned out that there seemed to be no one inside. β
Shi Xiaofei patiently explained.
"They have already left Sangshui two days ago, so you better go back. β
The man closed the door.
"Impossible!"
Shi Xiaofei muttered in deep thought.
He paused for a moment before turning away.
With the night after falling.
A dark shadow quietly sneaked into the house where Lu Shaoyang lived.
After the black shadow wandered around the empty room, as he was about to leave, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"If you're here, don't go. β
The voice did not fall.
As soon as the shadow reacted, a powerful force slammed into the back of his head, causing him to lose consciousness and collapse to the ground.
"Hall Master Chu, do you want to kill him?"
"Take it back, send someone to interrogate his identity and origin later, if it's useful, keep it, it's not too late to kill him if it's useless." β
Soon.
There was no movement in the house.
When Shi Xiaofei woke up and turned around.
I found myself powerless to let the chains be bound to the wall.
"Give up the struggle, you can't escape from here. β
An old hoarse voice suddenly sounded at the end of the wall.
"Who are you?!"
Shi Xiaofei said subconsciously.
"Who am I......? The old man is Duan Zongbi of the Zhenwu Division!"
"Zhenwu Division Duan Zongbi?!"
Shi Xiaofei was suddenly shocked and blurted out.
After months of practice in the Star Picking Tower.
He basically knew the names of most of the grandmasters in the world.
Therefore, he is naturally not unfamiliar with the name Duan Zongbi.
These are the three famous grandmasters of the Imperial Court Town.
I didn't expect him to be imprisoned here!
So who is Duan Zongbi outside now?
This made Shi Xiaofei think about it carefully.
