Half an hour later.

The tense and rapid drum beating, which was inaudible to ordinary people, gradually subsided, and the faces of the immortals returned to the double-sided drums, and in the hazy mist, the three people were sitting at the wooden table.

Looking at Lu Zhaozhao, who had a few strands of white hair, Lu Xuan sighed slightly, but after knowing that there was something that could make up for Shouyuan, he didn't have the same resistance to Lu Zhaozhao's use of a double-sided drum as before, but asked in a low voice: "How is it?" What does the Immortal family say? ”

Lu Zhaozhao shook his head: "The Immortal Family has provided very little information, and Ah Lai's parents were indeed taken away by the people of the True Spirit Sect, but they don't know the specifics. ”

"It's made these things earn Shouyuan for nothing."

Lu Xuan's face was a little solemn, and now they can be said to know very little about the Yao family's information.

The only safer way has been tried, and if you want to continue the investigation, the danger level will continue to rise.

"Brother Lu, the blood on your body...."Ah Lai found a sweat towel from his baggage, looked at Lu Xuan's disgusted appearance, and stopped talking.

Lu Xuan knew what he wanted to ask, took the sweat towel, wiped it briefly, the blood stains on the mask and clothes, and said indifferently: "Yao Laitian is dead, I killed it." ”

After hearing Lu Xuan's exact answer, Ah Lai's face turned pale, his lips trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were full of puzzlement.

"Ah Lai, Yao ....... He's not what you remember..."Lu Xuan still didn't tell Ah Lai after all, the fact that he was actually sold by the Yao family.

"But.... Uncle Tian, he never lied to me! He saved my life. Ah Lai's lips trembled violently, and he was very excited: "Why, Brother Lu, why did you kill him, what did he do wrong?" ”

Lu Xuan let out a long sigh: "What I can tell you is that the current situation of your family is very likely to be caused by him, and he also wants you to be taken away by the people of the True Spirit Sect, he hates your family, although I can't tell the reason, but it is very likely to be related to his dead wife and children, and the truth may have to wait for you to ask your family yourself later." ”

"Family? Will I still be able to see my mom and dad? We don't know anything now. Ah Lai's face flowed with tears again, indescribable bitterness and despair: "True Spirit Sect, big deal, I will go to the True Spirit Sect tomorrow, I want to ask them why they want to take my father and mother!" ”

"Ask? What do you ask! Regardless of whether the people of the True Spirit Sect are good or bad, the only thing that can be determined at present is that the True Spirit Sect has no good intentions towards your Yao family, you recklessly look for it, do you really think that you have two lives, can you really exchange yourself for your father and mother? ”

The three words of the True Spirit Sect made Lu Xuan feel extremely irritable in his heart, he stood up and said coldly: "Rest now, and when you have enough spirits, I will find a way to do this." ”

In the middle of the night, the candle flame in the inn was extinguished.

Lu Zhaozhao was lying on the bed and taking a nap, Lu Xuan looked at Ah Lai who was sitting in front of him, with an angry look on his face: "I have told you, Yao Laitian is not a good thing, do you understand it or not, do you think I will lie to you!" ”

"Lie to me?" Ah Lai looked at Lu Xuan and said with a wry smile: "Brother Lu, I'm afraid that you will lie to yourself!" ”

"You've been crazy since you left Langyuan Wonderland, couldn't Yao Laitian be killed when you went crazy!"

"I'm crazy!" Lu Xuan couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and lifted Ah Lai's collar: "Do you know what I've seen along the way, and now even you think I'm crazy!" If it weren't for me, you would have died on the way to Fengyang City. ”

Facing Lu Xuan in a state of rage, Ah Lai did not have the slightest fear, and there was even more hatred in his eyes: "What if you have you!" Before you arrived in Fengyang City, you began to inquire about the True Spirit Sect. Don't admit it, did you have a holiday with the people of the True Spirit Sect? My father and mother were arrested, maybe it was because of you, Uncle Lai Tian was killed by you, and you are a madman. ”

"You're enough!"

Lu Xuan threw Ah Lai to the ground, but mentally fell into deep self-doubt.

Oh, yes.

Judging from the previous inference, there should be some collusion between the True Spirit Sect and the Heavenly Immortals, they know everything about themselves, and it is not impossible to set up an ambush in Fengyang City in advance to take away Ah Lai's parents.

No! Wrong!

It was Yao Laitian who hated the Yao family, and this matter had nothing to do with him.

Just as Lu Xuan was muttering in a low voice, Ah Lai had already stood up from the ground, and his face became more and more disgusted: "I know, you are just jealous, you don't want me to find my father, because you don't have a home, you are just the medicine guide picked up by Zhen Yuanzi, you can't see others living a good life, so you killed Uncle Laitian." ”

Ah Lai's words were like a sharp sword, accurately inserted into the softest and most longing part of Lu Xuan's heart.

He looked at this Yao Qi, who he had taken care of along the way, and had experienced life and death several times, a little more strange and alienated, he never thought that the person he trusted the most would one day say such hurtful words.

"How many troubles have come to you along the way, and how many times have Sister Zhaozhao and I been in danger brought by you, Lu Xuan, do you really think you helped us? You're hurting us, you've been hurting us all along! ”

Ah Lai's face was fierce, he walked in front of Lu Xuan, gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Xuan, why don't you die!" ”

Invisibly, there seemed to be something tampered with, something was distorted, Lu Xuan wanted to refute, but what he said seemed to be the truth, which made his emotions almost collapse: "Harm you!" When have I ever hurt you, I've always hoped that you would be well! I don't have any relatives in this world anymore, and I've always regarded you as relatives! ”

"Dear! Whoever is your loved one, you are a monster, you are a complete lunatic! ”

"No, I didn't! Ahem. ”

Lu Xuan roared almost hoarsely, and actually coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood from his throat.

"Then you die! If you die, I'll be able to go to the True Spirit Cult and save my parents. Ah Lai knelt in front of Lu Xuan almost pleadingly: "Brother Lu, help me again, I beg you, go and die quickly." ”

"I ....."

Lu Xuan wanted to say something, but suddenly found that Ah Lai's hands were choking his throat like iron tongs.

Filled with anger, Lu Xuan wanted to push him away, but unexpectedly found that Ah Lai's strength was amazing, and for a while, it was difficult to break free.

The two of them had blue tendons on their foreheads, and cold sweat was running down their cheeks.

Lu Xuan only felt that his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred, and under the heartache and despair, he only heard the sound of 'poof', and Ah Lai's strength was actually a little smaller.

When the warm blood splattered on his face, Lu Xuan saw that the long sword he was holding in his hand had pierced his chest.

"How... No.. No way! ”

Looking at Ah Lai, who was lying in a pool of blood, and looking at Lu Zhaozhao, who was awakened, Lu Xuan roared madly, "Impossible! How so, how so! ”

"Brother Lu... What happened to you? Brother Lu? ”

Lu Xuan suddenly woke up from his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Ah Lai and Lu Zhaozhao standing on the edge of the bed with eager faces, and the placket behind his back was already wet with cold sweat, because the terrifying scene just now made his chest rise and fall violently.

Looking at the intact Ah Lai, Lu Xuan tried his best to calm down his rapid breathing, and kept muttering in a low voice: "Fake, I was dreaming just now, it's all fake." ”

"How can it be fake?" He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Lu Xuan playfully: "Hehe, maybe that's what he thinks in his heart." ”

When he saw him, Lu Xuan directly threw out the long sword beside him, only to hear a ding, and the tip of the sword passed through his body and sank into the bed.

"Oh, isn't it just a dream? Why are you still in a hurry? He leaned over to Lu Xuan's side, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Or do you think so in your heart, or do you understand the terrible truth of people's hearts?" ”

"Brother Lu, are you okay? Are you having a nightmare? ”

Lu Xuan came back to his senses, and the faces of the two people around him were full of worry.

"Ah Lai, do you believe me?"

"Brother Lu, what did you say?" Ah Lai wiped his red and swollen eyes, which was the reason for crying for too long: "If I didn't have you along the way, I wouldn't know if I died there, how could I not believe you." ”

"I won't sit idly by and watch your parents' affairs."

"I know, Brother Lu, I know." Although Ah Lai didn't know why Lu Xuan suddenly said this, he still knelt on the ground and nodded heavily: "Brother Lu, you are a good person, Ah Lai has thanked you." ”

"Yao Laitian said before that he had seen your parents in the county office." Lu Xuan didn't feel sleepy at the moment, and got up from the bed: "I'll go to the county office tomorrow to see the situation." ”

"Eh, are you really going? Hehe, what if you didn't get out? Besides, what does these two people have to do with you, why do you want to sacrifice your life and forget your death like this? ”

Lu Xuan didn't pay attention to the noise in his ears, just stood in front of the window, and the cold wind blowing in front of him calmed down his originally irritable mood a lot, and his thoughts gradually became clearer.

On a certain level, what he said is not right, but anyone who changes to a cold-blooded person is in Lu Xuan's situation and in such a world.

He probably didn't hesitate to abandon Ah Lai and Lu Zhaozhao, and went directly to Penglai Immortal Island to find Zhang Daoling and solve his own troubles.

No one can blame anything for this.

It's a pity that Lu Xuan is not such a person, he is a flesh-and-blood person.

In his eyes, Lu Zhaozhao and Ah Lai can be regarded as his only two relatives in this world.

There's no way he's going to let them go.

It's just that.... Lu Xuan looked back, and the other one he had disappeared into the inn at some point.

But the problems he brought to him cannot be ignored, and he seems to have recovered from the previous series of battles, and can even change his dreams.

In any case, the idea of going to Zhang Daoling must be accelerated.

.........

The morning light shines through the window opening, and the dust floats in the air.

Lu Xuan briefly explained to Ah Lai and Lu Zhaozhao, and after asking the shopkeeper of the inn where the county government of Fengyang City was located, he left the inn.

After almost three hours, he came to the county office outside Fengyang City.

Xie Zhixian had just woken up, and he didn't open his eyes, so he gently kicked in the quilt, and the concubine who was sleeping at the other end hurriedly got out of bed, her forehead against the floor: "Please change your clothes." ”

Xie Zhixian Youyou opened his eyes, rode under the support of the concubine's soft palm, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a wicker that had been skinned a long time ago was delivered to his hand.

He dipped wicker on the fine salt in the maid's hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and pulled it up from side to side with his teeth.

When Xie Zhixian drank a small sip of water and rinsed his mouth, the beauty wearing tulle who was standing on the side immediately squatted down and opened her ruddy little mouth.

"Phew"

Xie Zhixian spit out the fine salt in his mouth with the thick phlegm into the beauty's mouth, and after seeing her swallow, he stood up with satisfaction and asked the rest of the maids to dress themselves and wash their faces.

When the maid and the maid retreated, wearing official uniforms, the magistrate who looked like a dog came out of the bedroom.

As soon as he left the house, a wave of heat rushed towards his face, and he looked up at the sun hanging high, and his face showed a hint of displeasure.

"On such a big day today, there won't be a few days of comfort."

After speaking, he walked forward, and the two maids with fans hurriedly quickened their pace and followed.

After walking a few steps, he arrived at his daily office and sat at the wooden table, his right-hand man Master Hu had been waiting for a long time.

"Tell me, has anyone been beating the drum lately?"

Master Hu, who had a donkey's face, showed a smirk on his face: "There is one thing today, the sue is the widow of the Xu family. ”

Xie Zhixian waited for a while, and when he saw that Master Hu did not follow, he said unhappily: "A widow, still a scholar? ”

"Hehe, who said no, there are many rights and wrongs in front of this widow's door." Master Hu smiled: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that someone knocked on her house at night." ”

Xie Zhixian understood, picked up a bowl of white fungus soup on the table, took a sip, and said slowly: "What did the defendant say?" ”

"The defendant is a big man in the city, and he caught some fish a few days ago and gave them to Zaixia, which are fourteen golden carp."

"En~" Xie Zhixian nodded with satisfaction: "Out of the dog days, it's obviously about to enter winter, but it's still hot in the past two days, so I like to drink this cold thing, master." ”

Master Hu understood: "Xiaguan understands. ”

After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom and began to read it.

Just as Xie Zhixian shook his head and listened to the sound of the goldfish spitting water, he suddenly saw that the sky outside suddenly darkened, and for a moment, it was like a dark night, and the rich black made his heart tremble.

Immediately after, a man came out of the shadow on the door.

Seeing this strange scene, Xie Zhixian was stunned for a moment, then his face flickered, he stood up suddenly, and the white fungus soup in his hand spilled on the table:

"Come on.... Who is coming? ”
