Chapter 24: Challenge at any time
"Xiao'er, are you really the master of the Rakshasa Gate?"
"Also, your cultivation ...... Have you really reached the Human Saint Realm? ”
Sigh and Su Xiao have already left the chamber. On the way, he sighed and asked Su Xiao in disbelief.
"What do you think? Don't return to uncle. ”
Su Xiao didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, he just smiled indifferently.
Seeing this, he didn't ask, and said again: "That...... Where did Liu Shan and Tang Bo's bodies go? ”
He didn't forget that when he was in the council hall, Tang Chuan mentioned that he didn't find the bodies of Liu Shan and Tang Bo.
Su Xiao still didn't answer positively.
"Don't worry, don't return to uncle."
"When the time comes, I'll see them."
"Everyone...... will be seen. ”
As they spoke, they quickly returned to the small courtyard of the Sword Casting Hall.
In the distance, I saw a figure waiting outside the courtyard gate, it was Lu Meng.
Su Xiao saw that it was her who suddenly felt a headache, and before she found out, she hurriedly sighed and said, "Uncle Don't return, do me a favor and send her away." ”
"But this ......"
Without waiting to say something, Su Xiao quickly hid to the side.
I sighed and went first.
"Don't go to Uncle? Why are you the only one coming back? What about Brother Liuzi? ”
Lu Meng's face was full of doubts.
sighed and laughed dryly, and made an excuse at random, and soon saw Lu Meng's face full of disappointment, and he reluctantly left.
When she was far away, Su Xiao came out.
After struggling for a moment, Su Xiao asked if he would not return: "Uncle No-return, do you know that Tu Liu and her used to ...... Have you made any promises? ”
"Agreed?"
Sighing and shaking his head: "I haven't heard this mentioned to Liuzi and this girl." ”
"But ......"
After a while, he sighed and said something else.
"Actually, when I first picked up Liuzi back then, although he was stupid, he was not ugly, and he still looked like a normal person."
"At that time, although this girl didn't bully Liuzi like everyone else, she didn't have much closeness to him."
"Later, one time, this girl secretly ran out to play and met a demon beast. The sixth son happened to pass by, and in order to protect the girl, the sixth son was seriously injured. Although he later picked up a life, his face was ruined, which is the real reason why he wore a hood. ”
After that time, this girl often came to visit Liuzi, and when others bullied Liuzi, she would also stand up for him. It's the only friend of the six sons here. ”
Looking at Lu Meng's back in the distance, Su Xiao frowned secretly.
"Not because of this...... Just make a promise, right? ”
After thinking for a moment, Su Xiao shook his head and reminded himself not to dwell on it. What kind of agreement Tu Liu and Lu Meng have has nothing to do with him, he still has something to do when he comes to the Cloud Sword Sect.
At night, Su Xiao and Chen Qingshan met again in a secluded place.
"Door master, there is news from Yu Linglong's side, everything is going well, and three people have been introduced."
"These three are also on the invitation list of the Cloud Sword Sect. When the four countries are performing martial arts, they will all appear. ”
"Good."
Su Xiao nodded. As he expected, the news of Liu Shan's murder had now spread, and those who had participated in the murder of the Su family must have been uneasy to hear that there were still people in the Su family alive. And Yu Linglong, the only one whose identity was exposed, will naturally become the first target of their investigation.
But they didn't know that while tracking down Yu Linglong, they also entered the field of vision of the Rakshasa Gate.
The self-righteous hunter has already become the prey!
Chen Qingshan immediately said another thing.
"Master, there's been a strange thing lately."
"There have been many young girls missing in the surrounding villages and towns recently, and the government has no clue about the search, do you want someone to find out what's going on?"
Su Xiao thought for a moment.
"Let the Blood Eagles check it out. It just so happens that I'm always on call, and I have a hunch that I'll soon need someone to do things. ”
"Yes!"
Chen Qingshan bowed to the leader. was about to retreat, but found that Su Xiao frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
"Door master? But what's going on? ”
"It's nothing, it's just ......"
Su Xiao didn't hide it, and talked about everything that happened in the inner door hall today.
"Liu Wushuang would be so indifferent to the deaths of Liu Shan and Tang Bo?"
After Chen Qingshan heard this, he was also like Su Xiao, feeling incomprehensible.
"That's her husband and father, doesn't she really care?"
Su Xiao was silent for a long time, and a strange thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Perhaps...... There was something else, or someone, that made her care more! ”
"More concerned?"
Chen Qingshan was a little incomprehensible, and his face was full of confusion.
Su Xiao didn't dwell on it anymore, and asked instead: "The corpses of Liu Shan and Tang Bo, you have to let them take care of them, don't rot." ”
"Don't worry, the doorman."
Chen Qingshan hurriedly said: "The brothers in the door have used thousands of years of cold ice to preserve their corpses, and they will never decay before the Four Kingdoms martial arts." ”
Su Xiao nodded, and his gaze immediately looked into the distance, staring at the direction of the depths of the Cloud Sword Sect.
"I don't know, when you see them again, you can still be so calm......"
The next day, Su Xiao made a rare trip to the Inner Gate Canteen of the Cloud Sword Sect.
After the selection of the inner door, there is no one who does not know Su Xiao now. Many people were looking at him with malicious eyes.
But among them, another voice can be heard.
"Eh, did you hear that day? The old sect master is dead! ”
"Don't talk nonsense! How is this possible? ”
"How could it not be? I heard it all that day, this is what the Tang commander of the Guards said! ”
"The old sect master is known as our first grandmaster in Chibei, who can kill him?"
Obviously, the news of Liu Shan's death had already come out, so that the inner disciples had begun to panic.
Under the hood, the corners of Su Xiao's mouth hooked up a sneer. This was exactly what he was happy to see, the more chaotic the Cloud Sword Sect was, the easier it was to expose what they wanted to hide.
"What's the noise? Eat quietly! ”
The disciples were chatting, and Fu Ming suddenly came to the cafeteria with the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall, and scolded the few whispering disciples.
The disciples craned their necks and fell silent. Fu Ming only noticed that Su Xiao was also there at this time, and suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Boy, don't think it's great to win the inner door selection by luck."
"Wait, you won't be proud for long!"
Fu Ming spoke harshly to Su Xiao from a long distance, and he didn't dare to really get close to the past.
Su Xiao ignored him and was about to leave, but he felt that the corners of his clothes were being pulled.
Turning his head, Su Xiao was suddenly covered with black lines.
"Brother Liuzi, why did you come here?"
"Well, I'm looking for you!"
It was Lu Meng who grabbed him.
Without waiting for Su Xiao to say anything, Lu Meng held Su Xiao's arm and forcibly pulled him to follow him, and hit him hard with his shoulder when he passed by Fu Ming.
"Get out of the way! Don't you think it's enough to be cleaned up by Brother Liuzi? ”
Fu Ming was extremely angry, and his face turned red instantly, but he still didn't dare to say anything after all.
Lu Meng took Su Xiao to an open meadow and pulled him to sit down.
"You ......"
Su Xiao was thinking about how to get out, but Lu Meng took out a small cloth bag from his arms.
"Sixth Brother, you won the Inner Gate selection, and in this year's Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Exercise, you have to participate in it with the sect master on behalf of the Cloud Sword Sect."
"There will be a lot of people coming to see it. You can't wear this hood anymore, I made this for you. ”
As he spoke, Lu Meng took out the contents of the cloth bag.
Su Xiao was stunned when he saw it.
It was a mask. It's not exquisite, but it can be seen that the person who did it is very careful, the outside is painted with a singing face, and a layer of cloth is intimately glued on the inside, so that people will not be too uncomfortable when wearing it on their faces.
Lu Meng said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Liuzi, I saw that those who sang and played big heroes were all like this, so I drew them." ”
Su Xiao looked at the mask and felt complicated inexplicably. He knew very well that what Lu Meng cared about was not himself at all, but Tu Liu, who had already died unexpectedly, and this mask was also made for Tu Liu.
And if you borrow Tu Liu's identity to act, there will always be an end one day. How sad would she be when she knew that Tu Liu had already died?
"Brother Liuzi? What are you thinking? ”
Seeing Su Xiao's silence, Lu Meng couldn't help but speak, which made Su Xiao come back to his senses in a trance.
"No, nothing."
Su Xiao shook his head and secretly reminded himself that this was not something he should care about. Lu Meng is just a kind-hearted and somewhat over-the-top child, and he has nothing to do with himself. He still had a lot of important things to do, and he didn't have time to care about whether she would be sad in the future.
"Brother Liuzi, put it on and try it."
Lu Meng handed out the mask. Su Xiao didn't refuse, after taking the mask, he turned his head, quickly took off the broken hood, and put the mask on.
"Turn around and show me."
No longer wearing a broken hood that covers his entire head, Su Xiao's sharp eyes were able to see the light of day again.
Lu Meng stared straight into Su Xiao's eyes and looked at it for a while before grinning.
"I'll just say, it must be a good fit! Much better than that broken hood! ”
Su Xiao looked at Lu Meng's clear and bright smile, and after a moment of silence, he nodded.
"Thank you."
"Yo! The kid of the Sword Forge Hall! Hide here! ”
Suddenly, an unfriendly voice was heard in the distance.
When I raised my eyes, a man and a woman were flying over, and soon came to Su Xiao and Lu Meng.
The man had two short swords hanging from his waist, looked Su Xiao up and down, and suddenly sneered.
"Have you changed your look? This mask doesn't look much better than the broken hood you had before. ”
As he spoke, the man's eyes were gloomy, and one of his hands moved his knuckles, making a "click" sound.
