Chapter 5 Visitors from the North

The faces of the people in Xuanzhong changed, and when they looked out, they saw a black-clothed man with a demon mask standing at the door, and said coldly: "It's just killing someone, and you still need to discuss it?" It's just that there is a scar on the right side of his face that goes from his chin to his ear, which adds a bit of coldness to him. He beckoned to Yushan first, and then said, "It's just killing, what's the trouble!" He walked alone to the Iris-Snow Canal, not knowing what he was thinking. I started from behind, and one move ended in my life. Qin'er clapped her hands and praised: "Good kill!" Buyue returned: "Good is good." It's just that in this way, you can't find out who is behind him. ”

Ghost Face sat down casually and said, "Yue, do I seem to be such a reckless person?" After Yushan left last night, I sneaked back to the Spring and Autumn Chess Academy, and saw that Jiang Li was saying something to Duguchen in the tone of his subordinates. I think the person behind it is Xiao Landa. Bu Yuegui frowned and said, "You mean that Jiang Li reported to Dugu Chen in the tone of his subordinates, shouldn't it!" Ghost Face seemed to remember something, and said: "By the way, and the person in the carriage today, who also sat under Dugu Chen." It seems that Duguchen is their leader. Yu Shan said: "Are you saying that Duguchen is actually Xiao Landa, and Xiao Landa is actually Duguchen?" This sentence was a little winding, but the ghost face nodded: "It should be so." Shui Huo listened for a long time and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple." In my opinion, Duguchen is still Duguchen, and Xiao Landa is still Xiao Landa. The ghost face was not convinced: "Then ...... last night" Shui Huo interrupted him: "Taking the servant as the master is too easy to be recognized." If that's the case, then Xiao Landa is too simple!" Ghost Face said: "According to what you say, what I saw last night was all designed?" Shui Huo nodded: "Not only last night." If you look at it again tonight, it will certainly be the same. It's just a trick to confuse people's ears. Ghost Face scratched his head: "It seems that I am more suitable to kill." This sentence made everyone laugh.

Shengping Inn. Xiao Landa, a middle-aged man in a fancy costume, paced slowly, as if it was not him who had just walked away in anger. Deng Shi pushed the door in and said, "Second master, Jiang Li is dead." Xiao Landa seemed to be taken aback and asked, "How did you die?" Deng Shi said: "I secretly followed him on the orders of the second master just now, and I saw him killed by a masked man in the Irist Canal. Xiao Landa said unhappily: "When did I let you follow him?" Deng Shi was stunned, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes." It was his subordinates who came to him for some private matters, and it was a good time for him. Xiao Landa nodded, and suddenly cried out loud: "Brother Jiang-" Deng Shi stood aside, his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. Xiao Landa cried for a while, and said, "We have to rely on ourselves for everything! Deng Shi, give a message to Qianqiu and Tuyan." Remember, don't let the Snow Dancers see it. Deng Shi answered. Xiao Landa picked up the mirror on the table, touched his face in front of the mirror, and said with a smile: "Okay." What a face!"

Spring and Autumn Chess Academy. An inch said angrily: "Hmph! What bullshit Second Master Xiao! But if one of his subordinates dies, he will be cowardly!" Wuxing said: "Hey-you can't talk about people like that." A gentleman takes revenge, it's not too late for ten years!" Xue Wu waved his hand to interrupt them: "Okay, okay, let's all go out, let me be quiet!" saw Hua Qianqiu standing under the tree and beckoning to them.

The two looked at each other and walked over. One inch said: "Yo, why is the military advisor so idle!" Hua Qianqiu smiled bitterly: "Only the master is free." I was born to work hard!" As he spoke, he sat down on the stone bench and said solemnly: "The master is very embarrassed about something, and he is embarrassed to tell you. I'm the only one to be the villain. One inch and five elements looked at each other: "What's the matter?" Hua Qianqiu said: "It's not about dealing with water and fire." The master had already negotiated with the cold wind, and now foreign aid has also come. But the cold wind actually gave rise to retreat. The master decided to beat them, but after all, they had known each other for many years, so they didn't want to start directly, so they pushed the problem to me," he said, spreading his hands, "The master knows that you saved you when you were seriously injured in the past, and he will be a little resistant to this matter. But you also know that besides you, who else can break through the cold and windy West City, so I have to come to you hard. ”

One inch scratched his head: "Strategist, you also know us, and the grievances are clear." It's just that if we go, we will definitely have distracting thoughts, and if we don't get it right, we will spoil the master's great affairs. Hua Qianqiu said: "What's so difficult about this, you don't necessarily have to do it yourself! Send a reward, and the reward may be higher." It's good to find someone to measure the size of Xicheng. An inch puzzled: "Why do you have to measure the size?" Hua Qianqiu said: "My brother doesn't know." The west city is all a maze. The maze is different from the killing array and the phantom array, and there is no mechanism to kill. It seems to be a cloud mountain fog cover, endless. However, as long as you know the size of the formation, you can keep your mind when you enter the formation, go straight, and the maze will not be broken. One inch suddenly: "I see! Thank you military advisor, we will give a reward!" Hua Qianqiu watched them leave, looked back at Xue Wu's closed door, suddenly took out a token from his sleeve, held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then got up and walked out of the chess courtyard.

Amber Linglongxuan, water and fire were leisurely cooking tea, and one of his subordinates came in and whispered something. Shui Huo was stunned for a moment, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger: "Such a stupid move, did you come up with it, Xue Wu?" After speaking, he waved his hand to his subordinates: "Call Yushan over." ”

It was night, and the red snow was at the west gate. The three figures took advantage of the night to quietly leave the city. Although the gates of Chixue City are never closed, no one chooses to leave the city at night - this is tantamount to looking for death.

The Chixue River runs through Chixue Castle from north to south, dividing into three branches from the north gate to the south gate, and the excavated channels divide Chixue Castle into small islands. Out of the city to the north, it is the twelve beast demons led by the inhuman Xuanwuji. They are all the spirits of monsters, living at the source of the Chixue River, and only the waterway to the south is feasible, and they can only enter the city through the plank road of the Grand Canyon. Xuan Wujian and restricts the disciples, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to make trouble. Further north across the Red Snow Mountain is the Blazing Snow City, which has the same sound as the Red Snow City. The two cities have always been at odds, and there have been many fights. At the end of the main road in the east of the city is a misty ghost forest, which is full of fog all year round. The edge of the green wood pond that runs through the forest to the north is a single wood village. It was originally a local native, and it was expelled here when Chixue established the city. has been fighting openly and secretly with Chixue City for many years, and each has its own wins and losses. Going down the river from the south gate, it is a river valley water village inhabited by fish people, and people have always not offended me, I do not offend people, and I do not ask about foreign affairs. To the west of the city is a wasteland, and the jungle is scattered. Because it was originally the old road of the Chixue River, the swamps and lakes were dense, and there were many poisonous insects, evil beasts and foreign objects that breeded, coupled with the mysterious and terrifying Snake Bow Clan, it was the most dangerous place around Chixue City.

The three of them walked for a while, then stopped, as if trying to discern the path. The phosphorus fire from nowhere emitted a little ghostly light, shining on the faces of the three people, but it was Tiejing, Luo Huqiu and Luo Huting. I only heard Luo Huting say: "Brother, Shui Huo has just fallen out with Xue Wu in the past two days, so let's take over Xue Wu's business." Aren't we afraid of water and fire, so let's be angry?" Luo Huqiu said: "If water and fire do it to us because of this, then she is not water and fire." Tie Jing said: "The tiger is right. We are killers, and we are not like the scorching sun and the likes of an inch are their direct subordinates. She can take whomever business she wants, why should she do it to us?" Luo Huting had not yet spoken, when suddenly there was a chaotic sound in the grass beside her. "Who is it?" shouted the three of them in unison. Luo Huting even took off her hand and shot towards the grass with a cold mang.

"Be merciful!" a man came out of the grass, but it was Yushan. I saw that his sword was unsheathed, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand. Luo Huqiu said: "It turned out to be the Yushan brothers, I don't know why they are here?" Yushan snorted: "I can't sleep tonight, I see that the moonlight is so good." On a whim, I went out to admire the moon, and I didn't want to meet three people here. When the three of them heard him go out to admire the moon, they couldn't help but look at the sky. But seeing the clouds and the cool breeze, Hugh said that there was not even a single star in the moon. Tie Jing laughed dryly: "Brother Yushan is so interested. It's just that...... Ha ha...... That one...... It's late at night. This place is full of dangers, and it is not advisable to stay for long. What's more, the Yushan brothers are alone, so it's better to go back as soon as possible. Yushan "oops" sounded: "It's so late, Qin'er must be waiting for me in a hurry." Goodbye to the three. He was about to leave, but he stopped again, and sent the thing he was holding in his hand to Luo Huting's hand, and then left. When Luo Huting looked down, it was the silver needle she had punched out just now.

The three of them looked at each other. The iron mirror followed the light of the phosphoric fire to see that there seemed to be some traces in the grass, and hurriedly beckoned them to check it together. In the faint light, a trace of sticky marks is criss-crossed. Luo Huting asked, "What is this?" Tie Jing said, "It's the traces of the fishman." Legend has it that when the fish-man walks in the veins of water, he leaves traces of slime on the ground where he passes. It seems that the legend is true. Luo Huting said: "But where did this fish man come from! Could it be Yushan...... Luo Huqiu said: "We just took over the business of Xue Wu, and Yushan took the fish people to block the road and demonstrate. The news of water and fire is really well-informed. Tie Jing said, "It shouldn't be." We took over the business half an hour ago. Even if Shui Huo gets the news, it won't be enough for her to contact the fish people to demonstrate to us. Luo Huqiu said: "That's Xue Wu sold us!" Luo Huting was puzzled: "But what good is it for her?" Luo Huqiu spread his hands: "Who will I ask?"

Under a tree in the distance, Yusugi stood against the tree, looking at the pond in front of him. The surface of the water ripples. Yu Shan hurriedly said: "What?" A head that looked like a fish, a fish, a fish, a fish, a person, and a person came out of the water, and said, "Mr. Water and Fire is really powerful." Brother Yu just showed his face, which frightened them suspiciously. I think they were scared back!" Yushan said, "Luo Huqiu is not such a timid person. In my opinion, they will definitely go to the water village to see the situation. White Jump, you follow them all the way along the veins of water. I went to the water village first along the path. Bai Jump said yes and dived back into the water. Yushan turned around and looked at the path and walked, and said in his heart: This Bai Jump is not more than twelve or thirteen years old, but he is bold and careful, and he is stronger than many adults in the water village. It will be determined in time. I don't know how Uncle Guo knew him.

Along the Chixue River to the south, there is a section of the river that is very narrow, and the cliffs on both sides of the river are towering, pressing straight to the water. The plank road on the cliff has been in disrepair for a long time, and many of them have collapsed. Fortunately, the river is not deep, and in some places the water is not knee-high, and you can barely pass through. Otherwise, there is only a detour to the west cliff path. Although it is easier to walk than the river, there are many forks in the road, and if you are not careful, you will get lost in the mountains and dense forests. Out of this canyon, there is a mountain basin, through which the Chixue River passes, and there are many streams and swamps along the coast. Since ancient times, no other race has lived here except the fish-men.

The most powerful of the fishmen is the Bai clan, who built a water village on the Chixue River, as if it were the head of each department. However, a hundred years ago, the Bai clan was in civil strife, and a fishman ran away in a negative mood and walked along the Chixue River into the Miaojiang Grievance Pond, which was called "Grievance Bai", which was opposed to the "Chibai" of the headquarters. Regardless of the size of the fish-people, there is an ancient tree in the village where the parents live. Extremely recognizable in a field of reeds. The ancient tree species, height and height represent the names and status of each part of the fish-man. The fishman likes the banyan tree the most, so there is a towering banyan tree with the highest in the river valley in the Bai's water village; and because the fishman can swim and walk, and can not fly alone, the plane tree that the phoenix comes to inhabit is the last class, the tree in the village is short and thin, and the place where it lives is also the place where there is less water and more stones.

The three of Luo Huqiu finally decided: Since they are here, it is better to go to the water village to explore the truth first. At that moment, the three of them crossed the canyon and groped their way through the reeds towards the Bai Water Village. When I got closer, I saw that the water village stood across the river, and the fight was strict, although there were a few children playing in the water gate, but no matter how you look at it, there is a taste of conspiracy. Tie Jing spat into the water fiercely: "Yushan is not a good person!" Luo Huting said: "Brother, why don't we go back first?" Luo Huqiu pondered for a while and said, "No." Let's go inside!"

"Why?" Luo Huting was puzzled, "There is obviously an ambush inside!" Tie Jing looked at him puzzled. Luo Huqiu smiled slightly: "Even Ting'er can see that there is an ambush, would Yushan do such a stupid thing?" Luo Huting sank her face: "Brother, what do you mean!" But Tie Jing's eyes lit up: "Tiger, are you saying that Yushan deliberately let us see that there is an ambush?" Luo Huqiu nodded: "It should be." Tie Jingqi said: "Why?" Luo Huqiu said: "Because they don't want to kill us, let alone kill Bai Yu." He paused for a moment and said, "It seems that the news is undoubtedly leaked from Xue Wu's side." If we kill Bai Yu, water and fire will not rest with us. Then we'll have to stand on Snow Dance's side. Luo Huting said: "What if we can't kill it?" Luo Huqiu smiled bitterly: "If we can't kill Bai Yu and have our lives back, we will have to stand on Xue Wu's side!" Luo Huting gritted her teeth and said: "Sure enough, it is the most poisonous woman's heart!" When she said this, she seemed to forget that she was also a woman. Tie Jing was amused when he heard it, and suddenly remembered something: "No! Even if Shui Huo knew from Xue Wu that we were going to kill Bai Yu, he wouldn't be able to protect her like this! After all, they didn't look like they knew each other." Luo Huqiu said: "When you see Yushan, you won't know everything." After speaking, he got up and walked towards the water village.
