With the Lok brothers and sisters as their companions, the rest of the journey was easy and enjoyable.

The afterglow of summer is just the right amount of warmth, the cut corners of the sun are very flat, falling on the vast plateau, turning into dust and floating, the ridges of the plateau are gentle, the red soil is eroded by the water, and the strong wind blows, carrying the wind and sand on the face dry and painful.

Azi City is on this terracotta plateau, the buildings in the city are mainly caves, and occasionally a few wooden structures are mostly post stations or inns for receiving travelers from the hinterland of Dongxuan, and it is also the only place on the Dongxuan Continent where there is no bright sect and demon army.

Wangxi Inn is a time-honored brand for more than 200 years, and it is also the first choice in the hearts of Anda, but today's old inn, only a few curtains that resist the wind and sand are in the wind and cranes, like surging waves, in addition to this, there is not much movement.

Jiang Wangchen and his entourage got off the horse and stayed at this inn.

It's just that the lobby is deserted, except for a few locals, only Jiang Wangchen's table remains.

"It's strange, why are there so few people here? I heard that many people in Dongxuan will come here to see the customs of this famous family. How to walk along the street, so deserted. Luo Xiao wondered.

The second brother came up with wine and food, and happened to hear it, and explained: "It is really not the right time for a few Anda (in the ancient Yuena clan, 'Anda' means 'guests from afar') to come...... Just in time for this!......"

"Aru, when can you be quiet, don't say what you shouldn't say, I've taught you how many times, why can't you listen, don't forget the fate of Dade......"

Aru quickly pursed his lips, for fear that he would make a sound if the wind leaked, and walked away in a gloomy manner.

Looking at the local guests again, they cast hateful glances at themselves, extremely unfriendly, and everyone looked at each other, casting a shadow on their hearts, like the wind and sand raging on this plateau, clouding the sky.

Just in doubt, the curtain fluctuated again, and after it was opened, a green face appeared in front of him, and what he saw was a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, the ivory-yellow sweatshirt was put on his growing body, which was already stretched, and the pudding on his knees had been folded several layers, originally these strange ragged were enough to attract the attention of the visitors, but everyone would not pay attention to these, because the boy also had a pair of bright eyes, and there was the clarity of a teenager in the eyes, and there was also the sadness of growth, which could always make people can't help but take a few more looks.

He's developing a voice change, so his voice doesn't sound comfortable.

"Shopkeeper Shang, this is five taels, return it to you, and return the remaining twenty taels to you in two days." He spread out his palms, and five sweaty copper coins passed over to the table.

Obviously, he can read it all at a glance, but the shopkeeper of the merchant counted it back and forth twice, and carefully added a line on the dense accounts: "Yuezhen paid back five taels of copper coins on the fifth day of the first month of Pu, and the remaining twenty taels have not been cleared!"

Yue Zhen watched with his own eyes after the shopkeeper kept the accounts, then turned around and wanted to leave, but when he passed by Jiang Wangchen's table, he stopped somehow, he carried the lamp on his back, his half-bowed head, and a pair of originally bright eyes, suddenly looked like two dark abysses, looking directly at everyone, even Jiang Wangchen, a person who often wandered on the edge of life and death, couldn't help but gasp, it was a hateful gaze, undisguised hatred, and the restrained anger was so full that it could only explode in silence, forcing the four adults to look cramped and uneasy。

Fortunately, he only stopped for a moment, and then left in the dust, leaving everyone to look at each other in confusion, and smiled subtly in vain, which was not a taste.

The shopkeeper walked over, expressionless, and just asked, "Are you satisfied with the dishes?"

Everyone nodded, and the shopkeeper didn't say a few polite words, then turned around and went back to the counter, and then looked at a note pressed under a cup of empty lamp, Jiang Wangchen took advantage of no one to pay attention, took out the note, pressed it under the palm, and only revealed two lines of small Dongxuan characters "The wall has ears, be careful in everything." ”

Jiang Wangchen glanced at these eight words, and then looked at the inn, only to find that the four locally dressed guests at the table did not chat or drink, and sometimes glanced at this side intentionally or unintentionally.

Jiang Wangchen wondered in his heart, why was he so vigilant even to remind him, who were these people, and what happened to this Az City? There were many doubts in his heart, and no one could solve them......

The four of them had a really mixed meal, especially remembering the cursing gaze that the boy had left before leaving, like a fish in his throat.

This night, Jiang Wangchen had a hard time sleeping, Yuezhen's angry eyes could always arouse his curiosity, what happened to this child, and it was like a nightmare when he closed his eyes, so tossing and turning, he simply didn't sleep, he pushed open the door, and the corridor was slanted by moonlight, plain white and elegant. As the temperature plummeted, the terracotta plateau fell into a cold calm again, there was no strong wind during the day, no crazy sand, only this solemn land, silent in the endless night.

"Such an open and boundless desolate night is incompatible with this cold environment!" An exclamation like water and a song tossed and turned in the soft place of Jiang Wangchen's ears.

Jiang Wangchen turned around and looked, it turned out that this corridor was not only moonlight, but also a slender woman outlined by the moonlight with a touch of yellow, Jiang Wangchen turned to look, and the eyes of the water cut also stared, he remembered that the first encounter in the water pavilion that night was also under this moonlight.

Jiang Wangchen had a thousand words in his heart, and when he reached his mouth, there was only one greeting left: "I haven't slept so late......"

Luo Yu bowed her head and said, "Yes, Brother Jiang didn't fall asleep either......

"My mind is full of the appearance of today's child, which makes people upset and difficult to sleep!" Jiang Wangchen spread his hands and said: "What about you, Sister Luoyu? Why are you standing alone here by the railing?"

Luo Yu smiled and said: "I don't know why, since I came to this Azi City, what I saw in front of me and what I expected in my heart are like mud!

"You feel it, too...... Why is it that the Tsukina clan, who have always been hospitable, are so repulsive to us today!"

"It's late today, ask tomorrow, I think the shopkeeper must know the truth, but today I see that he is very tight-mouthed, I'm afraid I can't find out what ......"

"Let's just wait and see. Jiang Wangchen had no confidence in his heart, under such a popular style, it was basically impossible to meet the great wizard.

Luo Yu looked at Jiang Wangchen's lonely expression when he looked at Cangyu from afar, and said empathetically: "Brother Jiang, don't worry, we will definitely help you tide over the difficulties together, find the great wizard, and lift the curse on you!"

"Luoxiao has already told you?"

Luo Yu nodded silently.

Jiang Wangchen lowered his head and chatted: "I used to think that this curse was just a tie in my body, and even once it helped me defeat a strong enemy and made me dependent, but after the source of the curse broke out last time and dominated my body, I knew that I had to exorcise it, I had to do it." ”

"Is it because of Sister Youyou?" Luo Yu echoed softly.

"It's not all because of her!" Jiang Wangchen paused and said, "It's mainly for her!"

Luo Yu couldn't understand this contradictory logic, but she understood the deep meaning, and she was stunned for some reason, and after a while, she couldn't help but ask: "Then do you like Sister Youyou?"

For a woman, this is a very serious and serious question, but when Jiang Wangchen heard it, he laughed unscrupulously, and ridiculed: "She, she has so many problems, she beats people at every turn, she is always extravagant, she cries when she says, she has no defense at all, she bullies people by relying on her martial arts, if you can find a little bit of the reserved you that a girl should have, I will write the word 'Jiang' upside down." ”

Luo Yu listened to Jiang Wangchen gushing endlessly, although she disliked every word, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was vivid, and there was admiration between his eyebrows, so she just smiled perfunctorily. She looked up at the moon, no longer asked, untied the jade flute on her waist and pasted it to her lips, her beautiful eyes were longing, her chin was lowered, her lips were lightly opened, the flute sound was clear and melodious, endless like wisps, scattered into this empty city, there was no reverberation, if the sound wave gradually disappeared in the world of Xiao Suo, she wanted to ask, but there was nowhere to echo.

Jiang Wangchen didn't dare to look at the woman more, but leaned against the fence, listened carefully, and quietly let go of his heart.

After singing a song, the sound of the flute is far away, and there is only silence between heaven and earth.

On the top of the tower close to the heavens, it seems that you can pick the stars and the moon with your hands! The evil pupil bead emitted a faint blood light, which was hidden by a flabby hand, which was no longer as withered as last time, and already had flesh and blood.

"Is everything going well?" said the old voice like wind and sand.

"Please rest assured, Heavenly Dao Divine Will has been planning here for a year, and now the contradictions between the two clans have intensified, I think in a few days, the net should be closed. ”

"I did a good job last time, this is your reward!" A thumb-sized blood bead was thrown out of the black shadow, the blood bead was crystal clear, and in the darkness, the blood light was restrained and vivid.

"Thank you for the Heavenly Dao Divine Will" The kneeling man took the blood bead, put it in his pocket, and continued: "However, if someone deliberately stops it. ”

"Who?"

"My old acquaintance ......"

"Remember, no one can be the stone that stands in the way of this immortal plan. He spoke slowly, but in a tone that was undeniable: "No one!"

"My subordinates understand......" After speaking, he bowed and retreated.

The moon and stars in the sky are scarce, and a red light suddenly lights up the top of the tower, wanting to share the sky with the stars and moon, but this night, it is just a passerby after all, although there are thousands of bursts, but too short life, even if he has had many glorious years, he will still be forgotten, forgotten in the mottled years.
