It's snowing again.

Between heaven and earth, the snow is dotted, the vast expanse, the snow erases the faint shadows of the distant mountains and city outlines, and erases the rich colors of the ravines and the earth. The suffering and misfortune covered by the snow are even more lonely and clever because of the snow, the fleeting vendetta and the long-precipitated resentment, the snow covers the blood, tears, the dark eyes looking up at the sky and the lonely traveler, leaving lingering footprints between homes and homes, roads and roads.

It's snowing again. Many people sighed with a wry smile.

Hua Rong pulled up the leather robe covering Ge Lingwei's body, bent down, and called softly: "Second senior brother, second senior brother." ”

Ge Lingwei opened his eyes, searched blankly, and finally his gaze stayed on Hua Rong's face. Hua Rong's face was ruddy, and she shouted excitedly: "Second Senior Brother is awake, Senior Brother, you see that Second Senior Brother is awake." ”

Lu Bukong glanced back: "Second brother, it will be eighteen soon." ”

Ge Lingwei smiled, his hand moved under the leather robe, and wanted to stretch out, but this movement pulled the wound, making him grit his teeth in pain, and the person fainted again.

"Second Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother!"

"Don't worry, seventh sister, second brother will be fine." Yu Ruoshui comforted her.

The group quickened their pace and hurriedly walked towards the eighteen capitals.

Snow drifted down from the gaps in the trees overhead. Occasionally, a birdsong came out in a long and lonely way, halfway through the sound, and then suddenly broke in the middle.

Lu Bukong lowered his voice: "Be careful, there are people nearby." ”

The group slowed down, and sure enough, the sound of rustling snow kept coming from not far away, and a group of people were walking in the same direction not far from them. Neither of the two groups disturbed each other, and Gu Zi walked his own way, and they were both wary of each other. There is always a short distance in between.

At last, when Lu Bukong and the others finally finished walking through the woods, an open field appeared in front of them, the wheat in the field had long been covered by snow, and there were a few oak trees scattered on the snowfield, with bare branches, pointing sadly to the sky. At the end of the snowfield, there is a lonely house, in front of which there is a small courtyard, and the bamboo gate is open.

Lu Bukong and they walked out of the woods, but the people over there did not follow, lurking in the woods, silent. Wei Guang said: "Damn, I'll go and take them out one by one." ”

Lu Bukong waved his hand: "Regardless of him, everyone is careful." ”

Seven people hurried through the wheat field with stretchers, Hua Rong walked in front, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he shouted loudly: "Daddy Liu, Daddy Liu, hey, why is there no one?" ”

Wei Guang stepped forward with an arrow step, slapped the door with both hands, the door slammed open, and a thick blood rushed out of the house, hitting everyone's noses. Liu Gui fell to the ground in front of the hall, still holding a firewood knife in his hand. Wei Guang probed his snort with his hand, turned around, and shook his head at Lu Bukong.

Hua Rong pushed open the wing room on the left, stepped in, and after a while, shouted: "Big brother, come quickly, Tie Dan and Ping'er are dead." ”

Lu Bukong put down the stretcher, walked into the wing room with Wei Guang and looked at it for a while, and the three of them walked back. Lu Bukong ordered: "It seems that this place has been ransacked, and Liu Lao'er's entire family has been killed." Third brother and fourth brother, the two of you go to the backyard to take a look, if there is anything wrong, shout, fifth brother, you go to the gate of the courtyard to guard, someone comes over to say hello. ”

The three of them left quickly, and the rest of the people carried the bodies of Liu Gui's family of three into the right wing, vacated the bed in the left wing, changed the bedding, and placed Ge Lingwei in a place.

Wei Guang and Fan Yong found two hoes and went to the yard to dig a pit. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the ground was freezing hard, and the two of them dug for a while to see if it worked, so they had to give up. At this time, Yu Ruoshui and Lu Pingyang also came back, everyone gathered in front of the hall to discuss for a while, and carefully searched the front of the hall and the left and right wings, but found no traces.

Hua Rong boiled water and made tea for each person. Holding hot water into the left wing room again, in the left wing room, suddenly her exclamation came out, Lu Bukong rushed in to see, Ge Lingwei on the bed was gone, leaving only a pile of quilts, Lu Bukong touched the quilt with his hand is hot.

"Quick, let's split up and look for it, there must be a secret passage in this room."

Everyone searched the walls, beds and cabinets carefully, but did not find the secret passage, Lu Bukong pulled it with his hands, the window grille was intact, the only passage leading to the outside of this room was connected to the door in front of the hall, he had been there all the time just now, if someone carried the second brother out, he would definitely see it. He looked up and saw that the rafters and tiles above his head were also intact. There must be a secret passage, and there is no other possibility.

"Let's look carefully."

Wei Guang tapped on the ground with the scabbard, his ears carefully distinguishing, trying to find out what was unusual. Knocking and knocking, Wei Guang suddenly woke up and exclaimed: "It's not good!" "Man is like a wind blowing out of the door.

Heavy snow is falling. Tang Chenglong could not be seen outside the courtyard gate, only near the courtyard gate, there was a pile of bulging snow, Wei Guang picked up the snow on it with his hand, revealing Tang Chenglong's frosty face, which had been dead for a long time. Wei Guang frantically grabbed Tang Chenglong's entire body, picked it up and walked into the house.

Lu Bukong carefully inspected Tang Chenglong's whole body and found no traces of the sword, obviously he was killed by someone with a palm. And under the palm of his hand, the fifth brother didn't even have the kung fu to shout, which shows that the other party's speed is incredible.

Lu Bukong inspected the surroundings of the courtyard, originally in this snowy weather, the other party would definitely leave traces when walking. But because he had been gone for a long time, the heavy snow covered all his footprints. The only thing that can be done at the moment is to find the secret passage, from there to find the trace of the opponent, although the other party has long since left, now it is in vain to find them and the second brother, I only hope that where can I find some traces and find out the identity of the opponent. At this time, Lu Bukong misses his master even more, if the master is here, he will definitely be aware of the opponent's plot in advance, unlike himself, taking care of one and losing the other, in just a few hours, the second brother was robbed, the fifth brother died, and he didn't even know who the opponent was, and he really walked with the master on the rivers and lakes for more than ten years. Lu Bukong thought of this, and endured it so as not to burst into tears.

"Senior brother, don't be too upset."

Lu Bukong raised his head and saw the sad eyes of the seventh sister. He blamed himself as if he had been stabbed with a knife. Yes, now the fierce enemy is now, you are a dignified man, but you only care about sighing, the seventh sister has lost her most beloved second brother, but she knows that at this joint, she endures her personal grief and comforts you in turn. Now that the master has suffered misfortune, and the whereabouts of the second brother and the son are unknown, you, as the senior brother in charge, should remain calm. Thinking like this, Lu Bukong slowly calmed down, and he asked Wei Guang:

"Steward Wei, have you found out the origin of the other party?"

Wei Guang hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard the eldest brother say that Lu Cheng, the urging judge of the Heavenly Dao Sect, has a strange palm, and he was shot to pieces. This palm in Jackie Chan, from the palm method, looks a bit like the palm of the Heavenly Taoism, the strange thing is that the palm power is also mediocre, it stands to reason that Jackie Chan takes this palm, there should be no problem, mom la cuckle, I think it's strange, Jackie Chan seems to be defenseless, so under one palm, he was killed by the other party, strange and strange. ”

Lu Bukong nodded: "This thing is really strange. Also, this Liu Gui is an ordinary farmer, why is he digging a dark road? It seems that he is also a person in the rivers and lakes, and he hides it so cleverly that even the master and his old man don't notice it. ”

Wei Guang praised: "Yes, yes, mom la cucks, this Liu Lao'er has really good intentions, hiding here, mom la cuckoos, I think eighty percent are here to spy on the eldest brother, no wonder our affairs are clear to the Heavenly Dao Sect." ”

"He's the eyeliner of the Heavenly Dao Sect?" Yu Ruoshui asked.

"Possibly." Lu Bukong replied.

"Why did the Taoist sect kill him again that day?" Fan Yong asked.

"If the purpose of his hiding here is to spy on the master, now that the Heavenly Daoist conspiracy has succeeded, what's the use of keeping him, there are many things, and of course one more person knows about it, there is more danger."

"This is called 'jackals are exhausted, lackeys cook'," as soon as Wei Guang spoke, he immediately realized that something was wrong, although Liu Gui was indeed a lackey, but in this way, wouldn't the eldest brother become a jackal? He hurriedly hit himself in the mouth with his hand. "Damn! Damn it! ”

When everyone was talking, Hua Rong was silent, she carefully patrolled the room with her eyes, worried about the safety of her second brother.

She was sad that her fifth brother died, but this sadness was different from her sadness when she found out that her second brother was missing, the former sadness was the memory of her friends and brothers and the resentment of her enemies, and it was a kind of pain of loss. And the latter kind of sadness is skin-wrenching and heart-wrenching, concerned and scared with her own flesh and blood, as if her whole person has gone with her second brother, and the body left here is at a loss, and the six gods have no master.

Her hatred for the enemy was also mixed with another feeling, she hoped at the moment that the Heavenly Daoist Sect would not be as cruel and heinous as the rumors in the rivers and lakes, and she hoped that they still had a little bit of conscience and would not harm a person who had been seriously injured.

She knew in her heart that it was wrong to think like this, she was sorry for the master, the master and the fifth brother, but she really had no way to tell herself not to hope like this, second brother, second brother, will you forgive me if you know? She thought that the second brother would not forgive herself, and would scold her for being selfish, and the second brother would ignore her because of this, alas, the second brother, what would you do if it was me who was arrested and you stood here? She was sure that the second brother would also be very anxious, and there was a stream of honey in her heart.

In front of her, she saw the second brother rubbing his hands repeatedly when he was anxious, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Seventh sister, what did you find?" The eldest brother had sharp eyes and saw her smile.

"No, no, I didn't find anything." Hua Rong's face flushed, and she hurriedly defended: "I really didn't see anything." ”

Hua Rong turned her head over, embarrassed to look at Lu Bukong, she saw something in the corner of the room, shining with a faint light. She walked over and picked it up and saw that it was half a jade pendant, very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it. She handed the jade pendant to Lu Bukong.

Wei Guang saw the jade pendant and stretched out his hand to grab it.

"Oops, this is Childe's jade pendant, damn it, Childe has fallen into their hands."

Lu Bukong: "Can you be sure?" ”

Hua Rong interjected: "I look very familiar, as soon as Uncle Wei said it, I also remembered that it was Gongzi's jade pendant." ”

Lu Bukong broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, his face turned pale in an instant, and he thought badly! Originally, I thought that the person who snatched the son would probably not be a heinous Heavenly Daoist since he was willing to stay in charge of the housekeeper for a living. But now that the jade pendant is found here, there is only one answer, the Tiandao Sect came here after robbing the son, and killed Liu Lao'er's whole family, and waited for the opportunity to rob the second brother, so it seems that the other party's intention is obvious, that is, to hide in the shadows, kill the people of the Tianyi faction one by one, and let the steward Wei come back, just let him come to report a message, so as to show off and deter the people of the Tianyi faction. At present, the son and the second brother may have died in Huangquan. Lu Bukong shouted, so angry that he pulled his beard with his hands, and was resentful.

A dark shadow flashed at the doorway to the front of the hall.

"Who?" Yu Ruoshui arrived with the sword and rushed to the front of the hall, where is there still a figure? He pushed open the door of the left wing, and a pungent smell rushed out, and the corpses of Liu Lao'er's family of three had turned into a puddle of yellow water, billowing with light smoke.

Lu Bukong had heard the master say that there was a senior master of the Wudang faction named Qingyazi, who had prepared a potion and sprinkled it on the person's body, and after a while, the person would turn into a puff of light smoke, and Qingyazi gave the potion a name: feather water. It was originally used to give pious Taoist priests the purpose of feathering into immortals, not wanting to flow into the rivers and lakes, but being used by the wicked to eliminate the traces of the corpse, therefore, the heads of the Wudang faction in the past dynasties strictly forbade the configuration of subordinates, and the feather water disappeared in the rivers and lakes for more than 100 years, but today it reappeared in the rivers and lakes, it can be seen that the Heavenly Taoism is not only cruel, but also treacherous, they melted the bodies of Liu Lao'er's family of three, they want to cover up their traces, so that people have no way to track down, do not know who the murderer is, and do not know the true identity of the deceased. If the second brother and son-in-law really fall into their hands, I'm afraid, I'm afraid they won't even be able to find the corpse.

Yu Ruoshui and Fan Yong searched outside the house and shook their heads at Lu Bukong's inquiring gaze.

Wei Guangdao: "It seems that there is more than one entrance in this house, and everyone will look for it separately, so don't worry about not finding it." ”

Lu Bukong's eyes stayed on the desk, and he found that the desk was covered with a thick layer of dust, but the Maitreya Buddha in the middle of the desk was spotless, obviously caused by someone moving it frequently. He walked over, took the statue away, and moved the offering seat below, when the wall behind the desk slowly opened, revealing a dark hole.

Lu Bukong said: "Everyone be careful, I'll go first to have a look, you keep your distance from me." ”

Before the words fell, the figures around him flashed, and Fan Yong had already rushed to the entrance of the cave. Here, Wei Guang and Hua Rong had already lit two torches separately, and a group of people walked in one by one.

Fan Yong gently lifted the cover above his head, and a beam of light came in through the hole. Fan was the first to jump out and look around alertly. The people in the dark passage held their breath until Fan Yong turned around to greet them, and then they came out of the dark passage.

Everyone looked around and couldn't help but gasp. It turned out that the exit to the dark passage was in the woods they had just passed. No wonder the group in front of them hasn't moved since they came here.

A line of messy footprints on the snow, walking towards the depths of the woods, Lu Bukong waved his right hand:

"Chase!"
