In the early spring of February, the cold flowers are put first, the snow is covered with snow on the ancient road in the northwest, and on the white vast earth, seven or eight black shadows suddenly appeared, the iron hooves of the fierce horses, the neighing of the long whip, a gallop, rolling up the mist, and there are red plum blossoms hidden in the trance.

"Got rid of it?!" The man at the head of the group whipped his horsewhip violently, and asked quickly from time to time.

"Nope!" The man who was half behind him said anxiously: "The old seven and eight have already been planted, otherwise let's go our separate ways?" ”

"Old Five, don't try to run for your life by yourself!" The ring-eyed black man on the other side scolded: "If you hadn't been able to provoke this crazy woman!" How could our brothers end up where we are today! ”

Lao Wu's face turned red, and he couldn't speak, and at this time, he suddenly heard a sword roar behind him, and saw a rainbow rushing into the sky, and in the snow, a shadow swept quickly.

"She's coming! Be careful, everyone! The man at the head shouted, and in the next second, the sword qi in the sky penetrated through the thin snow mist, and the fluttering white snow turned into a flying flower frenzy, and in an instant, the blood light bloomed, and several knights fell off their horses one after another.

A horse's hooves neighed, and the man headed by him turned back angrily, only to see a large plum blossom suddenly appear on the snowy ground.

The shadow rode in front of him, only to see that he was spotless in a white cloak, holding two swords without dripping blood, and his willow eyebrows were bent in a stunning arc, but there was no smile on his face.

"Wait! Woman, the villain knows that he is guilty, I am willing to go to the yamen to surrender, and please leave your subordinates-"

Sou!

Before the man's words for mercy were finished, the woman waved the long sword in her hand, and another blood flower bloomed, and the man fell off the horse with a thud.

The woman jumped off her horse, rummaged neatly through the luggage that the men were carrying, and in a short time found a handbag with a pattern, which she put away closely, then turned over and got on her horse, flicked the whip, and walked away.

The day is sloping westward, the northwest land, the early spring evening breeze is still a little bit of winter cold, and there is still a fine snow falling in the sky in a short time, but the two women in thick jackets are still waiting quietly outside the inn door despite the snow.

Both of them had worry in their eyes, and suddenly, they saw one of the women pointing to the distance and said in surprise: "Sister, look! ”

Another woman hurriedly looked over, only to see that on the avenue of heaven and earth, a shadow was riding a horse, the woman couldn't help but cover her lips with her hands, and said in a lost voice: "She's fine, it's really good." ”

The woman in the distance rode to the inn and stopped, took out the handbag in her arms and threw it to the two girls, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”

The two took the handbag and said gratefully: "Sister Gao Yi, I don't know how the two of us should thank you." ”

"Not necessarily."

The woman bluntly refused, and then called the innkeeper, brought a pot of wine and rode away, leaving only two women who had received her favor to bid her farewell in the rear.

This woman is the descendant of Hongchenke - Ah Lan, since she left the Western Regions many years ago, she returned to this northwest land after some twists and turns.

She is also a well-known figure in this northwest desert, and when she encounters injustices on weekdays, she is interested, and she will take the initiative to intervene without others talking, but if she is in a bad mood, even if she piles up a road with gold, she will not pay attention to it.

Today happened to meet a group of horse thieves who robbed something, she was interested, so she made the decision to kill the past directly, solve the horse thief, and recover the stolen property, and the sun is also slanting, but unfortunately today's matter is not over.

"Your Excellency has followed me all the way, why don't you come out and see me?" Ah Lan reined in the horse's rope and didn't look back to the tunnel.

A moment later, an elongated shadow slowly appeared beside Ah Lan, and a young man dressed as a Taoist priest walked out.

"Miss Alan, poor Dao Yunxi." The young man made a mockery.

"Yunxi?" Ah Lan muttered the name for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't recognize you." ”

"Poor Dao knows the girl," Dongfang Fu took two steps forward: "The girl still remembers Huo Yunqi, Huo Gongzi." ”

"The Huo family."

A Lan's eyes flashed with a little memories, and then said, "That person from Sword Casting Villa, so you came to seek revenge for him?" ”

When the words fell, I saw a piece of flying snow drifting away, and the sharp sword light broke through the afterglow of the sunset, and in the blink of an eye, it fell in front of Dongfang Fu's face door, the latter hurriedly pulled out his sword to resist, but he was still shocked by this force and retreated more than ten steps back, and even the sword in his hand was knocked away.

Ah Lan's body fluttered to the ground, the double swords in his hands were lined up in front and back, and at the foot of his feet, he saw wisps of breeze coming, thousands of flowers flying away, plum red and chaotic sky, and in an instant, the world was full of flower shadows.

"Red Dust Sword Technique—"

Dongfang Fu raised his head and lost his voice, and then hurriedly said: "Girl, do it slowly, the poor road is not here for grievances, Miss Ah Lan still remembers Brother Lu Seventeen!" ”

Swish!

The flying flowers settled, and a little cold light stopped between Dongfang Fu's eyebrows, Ah Lan turned his palm and put away the other sword, and said strangely: "You actually recognize him?" ”

After a trip between life and death, Dongfang Fu's back was completely soaked with cold sweat, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Exactly, Brother Lu once sent me to Qingcheng Mountain to learn art, and I have received his favor." ”

"I see," Ah Lan nodded, took half a step back, and put down his sword: "Then you came to find me to find out about him?" ”

"Yes," Dongfang nodded again and again: "Miss Ah Lan has any news about Brother Lu?" ”

Ah Lan glanced at Dongfang Fu and said tentatively: "You are a disciple of the Daomen, looking at your swordsmanship, there is a bit of a shadow of Qingcheng's martial arts." ”

"The family teacher Yushu is a real person." Oriental Compound Jaw Head.

Ah Lan looked at Dongfang Fu for a while, and then said slowly: "The beggar gang and the Qingcheng faction don't seem to have any friendship, and now the beggar gang is long gone, what are you looking for him?" ”

"Poor road."

Dongfang Fu's expression was a little depressed, and then he cheered up and said: "A few years ago, it was rumored in the rivers and lakes that Brother Lu took refuge in the imperial court and was assassinated by the masters of the rivers and lakes, I want to know whether this matter is true or false." ”

Ah Lan sighed meaningfully, and then said, "Since you have come all the way to find me here, it seems that you don't think that your big brother Lu will die so easily." ”

"Poor Dao doesn't believe that he will take refuge in the imperial court, there must be something wrong with this matter." Dongfang Fu is seriously authentic.

"Yes."

Ah Lan raised her eyebrows and was noncommittal, she said lightly: "Then your intuition is quite accurate, he is indeed not dead, but I don't know where he went." ”

Dongfang Fu was surprised at first, and then he was disappointed, but then he heard Ah Lan say in a mocking tone: "Even if I know, why should I tell you." ”

"This"

Dongfang Fu was stunned for a moment, he had already heard of the reputation of this Northwest woman, and knew that money and treasures could not impress the other party, this seemed to be just a character of interest.

But after thinking about it, if the other party really has no desires and no desires, why bother to say this.

Dongfang, who had figured it out, replied: "If Miss Ah Lan has anything to do, she can speak." ”

"You're smart."

Ah Lan smiled slightly, turned around and walked to the side to pick up Dongfang Fu's flying sword, threw it back to the other party, and then said: "Recently, a troublesome guy has been eyeing me, if you can take care of him for me, I will tell you where Lu Qiqi is." ”

Dongfang Fu immediately responded: "Okay, this matter should be settled, and I asked the girl to tell me what the person's surname is." ”

"It's up to you to find out for yourself."

Ah Lan laughed irresponsibly, and in Dongfang Fu's stunned gaze, she said casually: "That person also appeared suddenly in the past few days, just like you, I thought, eighty percent of you should have some relationship, or you all find me at the same time, this northwest is not a good place." ”

In the end, it was already a complaint, Ah Lan put away the sword, turned back to the horse and went away, Dongfang Fu hurriedly asked: "After the matter is completed, how can Poor Dao find the girl?" ”

Ah Lan chuckled lightly and waved her hand without looking back: "If you are still alive by then, I will come to you." ”

When night fell, the snow was white, and a man and a horse quickly disappeared at the end of the street, Dongfang sighed, put his sword on his back again, dusted the snow off his shoulders, and turned to leave.

Dongfang Fu came to the inn where Ah Lan stayed before, and asked for a room here to rest, after nightfall, the weather was a little colder, and it was difficult to see a person on the street at midnight.

Thinking about Ah Lan's words at night, Dongfang Fu couldn't sleep no matter what, he tossed and turned on the bed, but he heard the movement from downstairs.

"It's so late, how can there be people."

This seemed to be Xiao Er complaining, and after a while, the sound of opening the door sounded, followed by Xiao Er scolding: "No one, could it be a wild dog?" Yes! ”

Xiao Er downstairs couldn't help but exclaim, because just after he closed the door and turned around, he found a shirtless monk staring at him from behind, and he didn't speak, just watched.

Xiao Er was frightened, he vaguely remembered that he was in the snow outside the door just now, and he didn't see any footprints at all, is this monk a human or a ghost?!

The trembling Xiao Er asked in a trembling voice: "Guest, is the guest officer going to stay in the hotel?" ”

"An upper room." Fortunately, the monk was finally willing to open the golden mouth, and he also took out a silver ingot.

Xiao Er breathed a sigh of relief, he was able to give money to explain that it was a person, he sent the other party upstairs with a strong spirit, and at this time, Dongfang Fu, who was attracted by the movement outside, also came out.

Xiao Er greeted him with a smile, and just when the monk and Dongfang Fu passed by, the other party suddenly stopped and recited the Buddha's verse-

"The Bodhisattva of Great Compassion and Immeasurable Compassion."

The monk stopped, lowered his head, looked directly at the floor, but said to Dongfang Fu: "This Taoist leader, who dared to walk alone in the rivers and lakes at a young age, must have learned skills from that book, and the poor monk has something unknown and wants to ask for advice, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

Dongfang Fu glanced at the monk in surprise, and then said, "Elder, please ask, the poor Dao knows everything." ”

"You wait for the words to divide yin and yang, so there are good and evil in the world, dare to ask the chief, can you distinguish between black and white in this world?" The monk asked in a deep voice.

Dongfang Fu frowned and said: "Poor Dao is mortal with the naked eye, only believe what you see in your eyes, if the elder wants to talk about the morality of the scriptures, you might as well go to the Central Plains Temple, there are senior monks in Shaolin in the north and south, you can go there and ask clearly." ”

"I see, then it seems that the Taoist chief is also the one who does not distinguish between good and evil, does not know right from wrong, and arbitrarily judges black and white."

The monk sighed, and then the emotionless eyes became clear little by little, and the anger ignited in an instant filled his bronze eyes—

"Those who help the abuse, they should be killed!"

The monk shouted, a touch of purple gold light bloomed under his feet, only to see him raise his palm with one hand, clench his fist with the other, and the swirling purple gold light wheel appeared around him, and he fought without saying a word.
