Chapter 247: Self-Appointed Cleverness

In the torrential rain, the river began to rise, and the gentle and docile river flow was like an enraged dragon, ravaging the festering earth with its muddy claws, cutting down a large amount of sediment along the coast, and roaring across the wide river.

Standing on a dark and steep lonely rock, overlooking the twisting and winding river, Gong Yu in a white robe and arrogant stood on a slender umbrella, and couldn't help but think of the legend of the great flood in the primeval period, which was a real disaster to destroy the world, even the solid and vast land could not protect its vegetation, and let the flood ravage and destroy.

"Let's go." Lin Shouxi looked at the river and said.

The laws of the Sword Sutra can allow him to fight the wind and waves, but with the sealed power of the ancestor, he does not have absolute confidence to guarantee the safety of the ancestor.

Gong Yu nodded lightly and left with him.

After the rainstorm, it was rainy, and the sky was dreary, and there was no intention of sunning.

They got the secret from Jing Yezi, but they didn't get the answer they wanted, and everyone's hearts were more or less confused. Last night, they left Guigu Mountain, and this night, they went all the way along the river, walking through many deserted villages and ancient towns, but they never knew where the destination was, and their mood was inevitably low.

There are many mountains here, walking along the river for a while, a few zhang high wall is in danger, Xiao He took the lead to cross the broken wall, went to survey the terrain, Gong Yu lay on Lin Shouxi's back, his hand around his neck, round and slender legs clamped his waist, at first she was a little jerky and resistant, but now she is used to it, more like a sister who is taken care of.

After trekking through mountains and rivers for half a day, they rested under a cliff, the cliff slanted out, blocking the rain for them, Lin Shouxi took out the dry food from the package, handed it to Xiao He and Gong Yu, the girl and the woman snuggled together, eating in small bites, with no expression on their cheeks.

After eating, the three of them rested together, and during the break, Gong Yu raised his head, looked at them with a solemn expression, and said, "If you really don't know what to do next, then there is one thing that will not be wrong." ”

"What?" Xiao He asked.

"Practice." Gong Yu said: "If you go on like this, it will always be a dead end, if you don't practice hard, you may be able to explore the realm and find a turning point." ”

Lin Shouxi didn't echo it, he had thought about these for a long time, but cultivation requires meditation, once he meditates and meditates, he can't protect Gong Yu.

"Don't think too much about me." Gong Yu seemed to see through his thoughts and said.

"Why do you say that again?" Lin Shouxi was slightly displeased.

"If you keep looking ahead and looking back, you will only get nothing in the end, and you will only get more tired...... People always have to make a choice. Gong Yu said.

"Even if you make a choice, it is more important to protect your ancestors." Lin Shouxi said.

Xiao He nodded and agreed.

When Gong Yu heard this, she was moved in her heart, but her face was cold, and she said, "I am your ancestor, not your apprentice." ”

Lin Shouxi only thought she was joking, he was thinking about the well-behaved and cute whisper, while looking at the ancestor, he also smiled, and said: "I don't have a domineering apprentice like you, if my apprentice was such a character, I would have ...... a long time ago."

"What a long time ago?" Gong Yu asked.

Lin Shouxi didn't continue, but Xiao He glanced at Lin Shouxi with a sneer, and said bluntly: "I have already beaten her ass, who doesn't know your little fetish?" Ay...... What are you doing? Annoyed and angry? ”

Under the cliff, the pair of little enemies chased each other, and Gong Yu watched leisurely with his knees crossed, all as a short pastime after dinner.

Lin Shouxi and Xiao He scuffled for a while, and finally Xiao He was grabbed and pressed to the ground with both hands, the two looked at each other for a while, and the resentment in their eyes became other emotions, Lin Shouxi was slightly distracted, Xiao He's petite body was like a carp, and he suddenly turned over, and pressed Lin Shouxi under him with his backhand, under the rain cliff, Xiao He said seriously:

"Master is right, it's time for us to practice."

Of course, the cultivation that Xiao He said is not a simple practice, but to continue what was not done that night, for the monks of the Hehuan Sect, this is a great benefit, if you can help Lin Shouxi to cultivate the purple Ding Huo, and then face Si Duxue, maybe there will be a turnaround, but the purple fire is very powerful, and it is not a day's work to cultivate.

"I'm thinking about the big picture, not myself...... Well, in short, you don't want to be crooked. Xiao He added with a smile.

Lin Shouxi looked at the slightly haggard pale face of the girl who shared the suffering, and was moved in his heart, and did not tease this hard-mouthed girl, but broke away and held her in his arms with his backhand.

"Okay, let's practice." Lin Shouxi said.

Gong Yu avoided his gaze and looked at the water where the heavy rain was knocking, as if he hadn't heard anything.

The rain has no intention of stopping.

Although they were affectionate, they did not have the intention of being open-minded, and after resting, they quickly left the shelter under the cliff and went to the nearby villages and towns.

The name of the village and town here is very strange, it is called Chaogu Town, it is said that there is a big mountain near the town, there is a deep valley in the mountain, the deep valley is inaccessible, it was the place where the prince of the Ming Emperor changed his bones, and there are often immortal and immortal monsters haunting.

Of course, this is just a legend, and this town is just a simple town, except for a lot of wanted notices posted about them.

"I didn't expect them to move so fast." Lin Shouxi tore off a wanted warrant and said.

Gong Yu looked at the text under the wanted notice, her expression was dazed, and she said: "Si Duxue is by no means idle, this is the only town within a radius of 100 miles, the surrounding mountains are complex, the terrain is complex, and it is a road along the river, she is likely to set up an ambush here, let's take a detour." ”

"No, you don't."

After Lin Shouxi thought about it, he shook his head, he put away the wanted warrant and walked straight into this town shrouded in light rain.

Xiao He looked at the wanted notices plastered all over the wall, but she was worried, she thought, Lin Shouxi knew that there were tigers in the mountains and favored the tigers, or was it just that he was too eager......

She wanted to persuade her, but looking at Lin Shouxi's calm face, she chose to believe it.

Lin Shouxi walked into the town, first went to the shop, bought clothes, blankets and some food, he swaggered without the slightest cover, as if he was not afraid of Si Duxue's sudden arrival.

After that, the three of them went straight to the inn and stayed.

Xiao He sat on the edge of the bed, revealing her bright and beautiful face of snow-haired black clothes, she took off her shoes and socks, curled up her delicate and cute toes, and tilted her head to look at Lin Shouxi.

Lin Shouxi stood by the window, glanced at the street with few pedestrians, closed the window, tied it up, and then, he hugged the beautiful little wife, and got into the quilt together, and the quilt covered the bodies of the two tightly.

About half a column of incense after that.

In the mountains and forests around Chaogu Town, many black-clothed figures came out and silently sneaked into the town, surrounding the inn.

The leader is none other than He Yaoqin.

He Yaoqin felt that her luck was very good.

The order to kill has been scattered all over the world half a month ago, with the experience of their escape from the Yellow River, all the major rivers have become the focus of surveillance, almost all the counties near the river have been covered with eyeliner, but after such a long time, everyone still has nothing.

Today, the prey is finally tired and shows clues.

It's time for her to take credit.

Before surrounding the town, she had already pulled the letter arrow, which was a signal device for fireworks, but it was much smaller than a firecracker, and as soon as it was issued, the master would come as soon as possible.

"Senior sister, do you want to do it?" The disciple on the side asked.

"Don't worry." He Yaoqin said: "Let them be happy for a while, and then do it when they are at their most interested, which is the most unexpected." ”

After a while, He Yaoqin estimated the time, felt that the time was ripe, and gave the order.

The killers in soft armor swarmed up and poured into the inn with good training, some of them stood at the door, some stood on the roof, and some guarded the various key entrances to keep watch, He Yaoqin led a few disciples with the best martial arts to break through the window and directly break into the room where they lived.

A terrible scream rang out in the room.

Two naked men and women were leaning against the quilt, passionately in love, when the killers suddenly appeared, frightened them into paleness and screaming. He Yaoqin looked at the scene in front of her and was also stunned, "Who are you?" ”

The man and woman didn't expect each other to ask such a question, they were even more sluggish when they were already frightened, they wanted to separate their bodies, but they couldn't separate because they were frightened, so they had to watch this beautiful killer girl approach and look at them with murderous cold eyes.

After some interrogation, the man and woman made the truth clear, saying that they chose a room, and when they went upstairs, they were stopped by a teenager and changed the key.

He Yaoqin listened, quickly went downstairs, and went to the original room of the wronged couple.

Forcibly breaking open the door, He Yaoqin entered with a sword, looked left and right, but she didn't see half a figure, she lifted the quilt, touched the futon, and found that there was still some temperature.

"Lin Shouxi is so fast?" He Yaoqin's first reaction was this, and then, after she lifted the bed board and found that there was a stove hidden underneath, she really realized that she had been tricked.

When the killers were still searching in the town, Lin Shouxi and the others had already come to the hillside outside Chaogu Town.

They didn't stay at the inn at all, they just made a appearance, changed into plain clothes, and sneaked out of the town before the killer arrived.

Xiao He stood on the hillside, looking at the crowd of people moving like ants in the town, thinking about her lies, and feeling more and more that she was about to make a prophecy.

Of course, now is not the time to think about this.

"Si Duxue really guessed that we were going here...... So what's next, where are you going next, are you doing this just to trick them? Xiao He asked.

"No!" Lin Shouxi took a deep breath and said, "I have seriously thought about what my ancestor said, she is right, if you blindly run aimlessly, you will escape into a dead end sooner or later, we should make a choice no matter what." ”

Lin Shouxi paused, looked at Xiao He, and said, "My injuries have healed." ”

Xiao He looked at Lin Shouxi's murderous eyes, understood what he meant, and nodded, "Me too." ”

……

On the long street of Chaogu Town, Si Duxue appeared ghostly.

She was draped in red hair, her petite and graceful body was hidden in a black robe, and her expression was cold. He Yaoqin, who searched for no results, came to the master, hung her head, talked about what had just happened, and took the initiative to ask for punishment.

"It's okay, it's just a bunch of clever prey." Si Duxue smiled and said, "As long as they take the initiative to expose their traces, it will be difficult to escape." ”

“……”

He Yaoqin was uneasy, but she looked at Shizun's confident smile, but she didn't dare to refute, she only lowered her head and replied obediently: "Yes." ”

"Well, tell the other disciples to converge on the Black Tiger Ridge and close the net." Si Duxue said.

On the long street of Chaogu Town, the black-robed goddess's clothes fluttered.

Eight illusory long tails lit up behind her, like burning flames, illuminating her dark figure, and for a moment, the entire street where she landed seemed to have been burned by fire, and there was no rain in sight.

She disappeared into the long street, her figure fluttering like a fly, chasing in a certain direction.

After Si Duxue disappeared, He Yaoqin raised her head, and she also quickly began to act, while summoning the disciples scattered in all directions through the letter arrow, while chasing the figure of the master with all her might.

She always felt that Lin Shouxi was deceitful, and Shizun believed that he was invincible in the realm, and it was easy to fall into the trap of the other party, she had to be calm and help her when Shizun needed it.

I can't afford to make mistakes again...... He Yaoqin reminded herself.

Another chase began.

The chase lasted a whole day, starting outside Asahi Town.

As Si Duxue expected, Lin Shouxi still repeated the old trick and chose to escape by waterway - every time she was about to catch up, Lin Shouxi would jump into the turbulent river and use the turbulent river to distance her.

Although this method is very annoying, it is not a panacea, first of all, the river cannot be diverted, which is destined to his escape route cannot be changed, secondly, the rain has been continuous recently, the water flow is extremely turbulent, even Lin Shouxi can not stay for a long time, he must go ashore in half an hour at most, not that he will lose his strength, but that the water trick can not last long, if he is soaked in the cold river water, Gong Yu's body may not be able to support it.

The bloodline of the divine fox gave Si Duxue a keen sense, and she pursued in an orderly manner along the turbulent river, biting Lin Shouxi and the others, and Lin Shouxi became more and more tired, and the speed of escape slowed down obviously, and it would not be long before she would catch up.

After receiving the signal, the disciples also poured in from all directions, chasing the pace of the master under the leadership of He Yaoqin, ready to join the battlefield at any time.

The battle began behind a mausoleum.

A nearby town has recently died and is holding a funeral, and the coffin has just been filled with earth, and many neighbors have gathered here.

When He Yaoqin arrived, in the direction of the cemetery, the people who were originally holding the funeral were shouting and fleeing, their faces were frightened, or iron blue, or white, and the content of the shouts was similar, mostly saying that there were monsters, so that everyone should flee for their lives.

He Yaoqin knew that they had mistaken the master of the Eight Tails for a monster.

Although she didn't care about these people, she was born in the ancestral mountain and would not hurt them, she only glanced at them hurriedly, but this glance happened to let her see a beautiful woman in the fleeing crowd, the woman was dressed in linen and filial piety, and her face was covered by a wide shroud, and she couldn't see clearly, the reason why He Yaoqin felt that she was a beautiful woman was very simple, because this woman had an excellent figure, so good that people would conclude that she was a beauty at a glance at her back.

There are beauties everywhere, He Yaoqin didn't think much about it, she gathered the disciples who came here, instructed some things, and besieged the front.

Si Duxue really had a clever plan, the place where this battle really broke out was indeed in Black Tiger Ridge.

When He Yaoqin arrived, the battle had already begun in full swing.

After more than half a year, this is the second time she has seen Lin Shouxi after guarding the Divine Domain.

At this moment, this handsome young man who is as handsome as a demon is confronting and fighting with his master, and the master of the Daomen is protected by him, this once powerful master of the gate is now restrained by the ghost prison thorn, and looks a lot weaker, but she still can't help but think of many legends about this master, and instinctively gives birth to a wisp of fear.

People like this must be killed in front of them and their souls shattered in order to truly feel at ease.

Si Duxue has gone through several rounds of moves with Lin Shouxi, although Lin Shouxi's realm is far inferior to her, but his physique has been really close to the steel and iron bones after several rounds of fighting, even if it is as strong as admiring the goddess, there is no way to tear his body apart for a while.

But He Yaoqin knew that as long as he kept fighting, the irreparable gap in strength would be infinitely magnified, and this young man would be killed sooner or later.

Is this going to be his death? Dead in this Black Tiger Ridge?

Facing the situation in front of her, He Yaoqin felt not joy, but disbelief, she felt that things must not be so simple.

Of course, her thoughts were not groundless, because she found that in this Black Tiger Ridge, the little girl with snow-haired cool skirt who had severely injured her master did not know where she went.

He Yaoqin glanced around, and between the painstaking thoughts, the muffled thunder of the fist crash had already sounded for a while, they were the real top masters, the momentum was huge when they fought, the rain in the sky was scattered, and the rocks under their feet were cracked, and wave after wave of true qi ripples dispersed, making a dragon-like sound of Qingyue.

"Senior sister, are we going to help?" A disciple asked in a trembling voice, and it was clear that in his eyes, the real decisive battle had begun.

He Yaoqin was just about to nod, when suddenly, she looked at the Daomen Sect Master, and keenly noticed that the corners of the Daomen Sect Master's lips were hooked with a wisp of a smile.

Si Duxue in the battle didn't notice this smile, but He Yaoqin noticed it, and after giving birth to a sense of horror, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly understood - this Dao Sect Master was pretended by Xiao He, and the real Sect Master had fled elsewhere!

This is Lin Shouxi's trick again! She saw what the master didn't see!

Then, she quickly remembered the beautiful figure she had seen in the crowd, and her heart was shocked...... That must be the master of the Daomen! She pretended to be a mourning citizen and fled in the crowd!

If Fang Cai had more heart and stopped the woman for interrogation, the biggest credit for arresting the master of the Daomen would be his own......

He Yaoqin gritted her teeth, forcibly suppressed the feeling of remorse that welled up in her heart, she stretched out her hand, stopped the Daomen disciples who were about to move, and shouted:

"Wait! Don't go! ”

"Why?" The disciples asked suspiciously.

He Yaoqin looked at Heihuling, her mind was in a hurry, she believed that her master was strong, and Lin Shouxi and Xiao He would not be able to defeat her, which had been fulfilled in the battle under Wudang Mountain.

He Yaoqin found a disciple and instructed him to go to Heihuling to remind Shizun to pay attention to the fake Daomen master, while she herself surrounded the others and turned around and left.

"Senior sister, where are we going?" The disciple was puzzled, thinking to himself that the master was fighting fiercely with the enemy in front, how could we flee in a cowardly fight?

"Come with me, and I'll take you...... Make contributions! He Yaoqin said firmly.

The master of the Daomen Gate was sealed by the ghost prison thorn and cultivated for cultivation, even if she fled with the crowd, she would definitely not be able to escape far, as long as she chased along the road, she would definitely be able to catch up!

Yes, Shizun is right, they are just smart prey, and under the suppression of long-term pursuit, sooner or later they will show their flaws and make stupid moves.

It's time for her to be ashamed!

The senior sister under the master is the only one, and the disciples she led did not dare to disobey the will of the senior sister, and they followed closely one after another.

He Yaoqin kept moving, chasing all the way.

Finally, in front of an ancient bridge, she saw the beautiful white figure.

With the experience of the previous inn, He Yaoqin was also worried, for fear that if she took off this shroud, it was really a strange woman's face underneath.

Without thinking too much, He Yaoqin jumped away and jumped directly in front of the woman.

The woman seemed to be frightened and wanted to dodge, but He Yaoqin would give her a chance, directly grabbed her hand and uncovered her white hood to cover the rain.

Under the hood, it was indeed the stunning face of the Daomen master!

He Yaoqin's eyes were round, and her body almost trembled with excitement.

Her conjecture was indeed not wrong, the layout in the Black Tiger Ridge was a trick for Lin Shouxi and Xiao He, their real purpose was to let the Daomen master escape, and flee the opposite, flee to the place they had already searched, and hide!

Thankfully, she was keenly aware of all this.

"Master, I've got you." He Yaoqin said coldly.

Without hesitation, she directly pulled out her sword and stabbed her other shoulder, wanting to seriously injure her directly, and then tie her back to see Shizun.

But what she didn't expect was that the sword she stabbed out was easily received by the other party.

She was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up again, where was the master of the Daomen in front of her, it was clearly the bewitching girl with snowy hair and black clothes!

"yes, I got you." Xiao He smiled.
