Bowangzhou City.

Xianrentai.

It was late at night, and the cold white moonlight spilled into the house through the window lattice, and the door of the fourth floor was pushed open with a "squeak", and outside the door was the figure of Anzang lifting the sword.

Wudong raised his head and took a cup of tea to the side.

"What's the matter?" Tianshan Sifeng crossed his knees and put his sword.

"There was movement last night." No tunnels.

Anzo raised an eyebrow.

"Just now Li Weiru handed over the news, someone has been eyeing the house, there are traces of being probed last night, but they haven't entered it yet." Wudong looked up and looked over with a pair of gray eyes, "Let's get ready for the next two days." ”

An Zang thought for a while: "I read Luo Defeng's transcript yesterday, saying that Shang Huaitong's state of mind has been broken, and he can't use that sword anymore?" ”

"It's okay, when Huan Death Lou knows, it's already in the suit." No tunnels.

Anzang nodded, silent for a moment: "But I have one more concern. ”

"Huh?"

"Have you ever wondered. What if it's someone who has completed the 'Xuanmen Arrival'? ”

"An Sifeng thinks there will be a third-order grandmaster?" Wudong looked at him.

Anzo didn't speak.

"Huan Death Lou does have this kind of power in Shaolong" Wu Dong thought for a moment and closed the booklet, "But we haven't seen where this case can be used for their ends." ”

"It is precisely because I don't know anything that I am worried that it will seriously exceed expectations."

"Has An Sifeng asked Tianshan to transfer a third-order grandmaster?"

"First of all, I will ask for the opinion of the Tsuru Inspection."

Wudong nodded slowly and smiled lightly: "Since that's the case, it's not in a hurry—anyway, there is a way to deal with the third order for the time being." ”

Not long after Anzang left Xianrentai and traveled south, he pushed open the gate of the Tianshan courtyard.

In the shade of the clear moon, under the tree, Shi Hairpin Xue and Gu Yunfu sat at the table and checked the documents, Zhu Bi and colored ink were placed aside, and there was also a map of Xilong Shaolong on the table, and the books were scattered.

"Did you get any catches?" Anzo walked in with a smile.

"It's too difficult for me and my senior brother to find any valuable words in Bowang." Shi Hairpin Xue looked up at this uncle, "Xilong has sent a message again?" Hushan Jianmen, that thing is sure to be"

"Probably so." Doorposts, treetops, eaves. The secret guard array of the Tianshan Mountains tied up a mysterious connection, and in a flash, Anzang also sat down at the table, and said with a smile, "Who said that it is useless for me to love to read idle books and wild histories?" ”

Gu Yunfu smiled: "This is really nothing to say, and no one has ever said anything about you." ”

Shi Hairpin Xue opened her eyes on the side: "How did you trace it?" ”

An Zang smiled, and his voice was a little lower: "Do you remember the 'quitting stealing' article you memorized when you were a child?" 'To the mountain of many trees, Wang Panzhi, returned after a long time, Luan took the lost jade, the three commandments, no one returned, the king then beheaded the daughter of the Ling clan, and the jade came out of the corpse. ’”

After Anzang finished reciting this, he said: "When King Mu returned from a trip to the mountain, he lost something in the car parked at the bottom of the mountain, and he could identify the thief without asking or checking. ”

"So."

"So most of the legends of [Zhaoyou] are true, when King Mu traveled west, he may have brought this magic weapon."

"How can it be proved that it is the thing of the Hushan Sword Gate?"

"I can't say 'proof', but I do have it." Anzang unfolded the Tianshan message he had just received, "I haven't seen this paragraph, but the canon in the door says that it is credible: the time is after King Mu left the Jade Mountain and before the construction of the Secret Hidden Palace, there is a record in history, it is 'Ben Rong steals the sword of the king, the servant raises it, kills it, and gives the corpse to the Yanshi'." ”

“.” Shi and Gu both stopped what they were doing.

"Isn't it?" Anzang handed them the letter, "Why did this time, but 'the servant lifts it', so that King Mu knows who stole his sword?" ”

The two looked down at the letter.

"Therefore, for some unknown reason, King Mu left this prison weapon on the way, and when the sword was stolen, he had no pawn weapon in his hand." Anzang said, "Mu Wangdong is also returned, first south and then east - six hundred miles south of the Tianshan Mountains, that is."

The man knocked on the map: "Yangzhou today." ”

"So that ancient heirloom thing is really this [Zhaoyu]?" Shi Hairpin Xue thought about it, "The 'Soul Snatcher Bead' really comes from the principle of the artifact 'Candle'?" ”

"Presumably so."

Gu Yunfu looked at the two of them at this time and interjected: "Then do we want to take it?" Does it really matter? ”

Shi Hairpin Xue smiled: "Senior Brother Gu has really been in Shenjing for a long time - what is related to King Mu, is there anything that is not important to Tianshan?" ”

Anzo also smiled: "Look at how you compare—it's about as important as me, the second order of the Xuanmen." ”

Gu Yunfu haha: "I think it's just a prison vessel after all, although it is very wonderful, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with what Tianshan has been pursuing for generations." ”

"The truth is pieced together little by little by the clues." An Zang sighed lightly, "If you get this thing, you can trace back the reason why King Mu left it, and all the fragmentary and incomplete news of King Mu Xianzang so far, isn't it all pushed and arranged little by little like this?" ”

Gu Yunfu nodded and clenched his fists, and Shi Hairpin Xue thought for a while: "Uncle Shi came back from the Xianrentai, what do you say?" ”

Anzang snorted: "The old fox is very good, and when he saw that we were the only second-order here, he was not in a hurry. ”

sighed again: "The two Xianrentai are so far apart, and there is no contact on weekdays, but when a case occurs, the contact and cooperation are mutually trusting."

Shi Hairpin Xue said: "Did they find something over there in Xilong?" ”

"Where did you find something?" An Zang smiled lightly, "As soon as this matter is received on the word 'King Mu', the immortal platform over there will stop working, and will only follow the back of the Tianshan Mountain and knock on the side, scolding and not leaving, and not getting rid of it."

Gu Yunfu haha: "Anyway, it's such a thing, it really falls into their hands, just find a way to get it back." ”

An Zang also nodded: "Yes, such a big move, I'm always afraid that things will be sensitive, and now. At least for the time being, it's just the right size, and a few of us can handle it. ”

Shi Hairpin Xue on the side was silent for a while, and suddenly said a little embarrassed: "But I also told that Pei Li about the matter of [Zhaoyu] that day." ”

“？” Gu Yun tilted his head.

"It's that Uncle Shi said as an anecdote that I happened to meet when I went out that night, so I took it and made friends."

"Ahh Gu Yunfu sighed lightly, "I know why Senior Sister Shi has such a good reputation." ”

“？”

Gu Yunfu smiled: "I have been in Shenjing for a long time, and when I go back to the mountain, when people mention the [Anxiang] fairy, they all say that they are pure and indifferent, and they are very good." At that time, I thought, when I was a child, I was the most sensible and well-behaved, why is I 'pure heart and light desire' now-[Feiqiong] Senior Sister Zuo is also wholeheartedly oriented, why doesn't there be such a good reputation. ”

"Later, when I put Ling and Senior Brother Shang together, I was even more surprised to see that the two of you could talk——"

Shi Hairpin Xue smiled lightly: "Senior Sister Zuo and Senior Brother Shang can't talk?" ”

"Why can't we talk!" Gu Yun leaned back, "I'll be thankful if I don't fight!" ”

Both of them laughed, and Shi Haixue said: "Senior Sister Zuo is a genius who is truly Xiang Dao, she doesn't care what others think of her, she doesn't care." ”

"Now that I'm going down the mountain this time, Lord Chu Chi told me again that there is Senior Sister Shi - I still think, what are people like Senior Sister doing when they go down the mountain?" Gu Yunfu sighed lightly, "Now that I have come to Bowang, I gave someone a treasure pill that day, and I didn't talk much, but Senior Sister Shi was familiar with it first - this is considered to be understood, it turns out that it is still the same exquisite!" ”

"Where, isn't that a mistake."

"What's wrong with that?" Gu Yunfu haha, "No matter how delicate the junior sister is, if she rolls him back to Tianshan, isn't it her own person?" If you don't know if your uncle will give him a 'cage', he will go back! ”

“.” Shi Hairpin smiled politely, "Senior brother's jokes are still just as boring. ”

"Alas-Uncle Shi, you see, sure enough, I have no talent and no status, and Senior Sister Shi is too lazy to deal with it."

Xiangzhou City, Bixiao Pavilion.

There was silence in the middle of the night, and only the moonlight covered the small pavilion in the backyard.

The door was closed and unlocked, keeping the moonlight firmly out, but unable to stop anyone's gentle push.

In the depths of the pavilion, the girl was still standing quietly with a scroll.

Li Yiqing was stunned for a long time before he remembered that the name "Yu Chaocai" was the assassin twenty years ago.

I don't know much about this official girl who died before she was born, but she knows that Bowangzhou is now investigating the Xinpo case, and she is worried that she will remember it, so she dismantles the pages and rolls them in her hand, and then closes the book and puts it back.

The blue flame burned silently, and the lock melted back into one.

Li Yiqing once again meticulously erased the traces of his visit, walked out of this hut, and came to the pavilion.

She didn't leave in a panic, since Pei Ye confirmed that the owner was still in Qijiu City, she might as well try to find it more carefully.

Along the shelves of calligraphy and painting, Li Yiqing swept up and down, trying to see if he could turn over a true painting of Western Tian

- She actually found one.

But not a single painting that had appeared in the previous ledger was not in the shelf, but was placed on a table and chair for reading on the side, rolled up and laid flat there.

The girl pulled open the scroll, and the ink on the head was "Chinese New Year's Eve Night Remember Wine".

The girl was stunned and pulled away.

A large, well-drawn volume.

Sure enough, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the painting was a family reunion, a total of five people, even if the paper was old and ink, it could not hide the warmth of Chinese New Year's Eve at that time.

In the center is a woman in her twenties, beautiful and gentle, with a red spot on her forehead. She looked at the painting with a smile, holding a four or five-year-old boy in her left hand and a one-year-old child who was just standing in her right hand, both wrapped like small rice dumplings.

Their biological mother was further behind, and the woman in her forties was pale and weak, as if like many mothers, she was accustomed to showing her children as much as possible, and she wore a faint smile hidden behind the painting, revealing only half of her body.

The tall father, on the other hand, is the only one in the painting who does not smile, his face is solemn, and he actually shows two steaming arms in the snow, and a silver spear is horizontal behind his back, as if he has just finished beating his body.

Li Youqing was stunned for a while, remembering that the "County Chronicle" said that Xi Tian had lived alone since he was a child, and did not mention that he had so many family members.

Frowning and thinking, the girl slowly put away the scroll, this painting is placed here, she doesn't dare to steal it.

yes, why is it here?

The girl looked at it in a daze, and then noticed the irregular thing on the bookshelf next to the table, which was upside down like a bowl and basin.

This is not the location of the collection who put it here casually thought to himself the girl had already taken it in her hand and turned it around

A play.

The girl froze in place.

The silent moon fell on it through the window lattice, and the blue and white outlined shapes appeared even colder.

In such a cold silence, the black cat suddenly straightened up: "Hurry up." ”

Li Yiqing turned his head in a daze.

"Pei Ye said that the person we met at night was not Yi Nandai, and that person is not in Qijiu City now."

“.” Li Yiqing's heart clenched violently and immediately put back the mask, but at this moment, an extremely cold gaze had fallen on her back.

The keen intuition of the martial artist made the girl's back stiff at this time, as if the cold ice flakes had stuck to the warm back, but it was more cold and vicious than that, Li Yiqing was motionless, and her hair stood on end.

The previously closed door page had now been silently pushed open.

A figure stood in front of the door, and Leng Yue threw his slender shadow into the pavilion, reaching the girl's feet, and the cold drop in his ear shook quietly on the ground.

"Who are you?" The man's indifferent voice struck the girl's clenched heart.

"Huh?" Li Yiqing turned his head in fright, and his hand was already holding the scroll on the table behind his back, "Ah, you scared me—are you a nurse?" ”

Without waiting for the man to answer, Li Yiqing took a breath and raised the scroll in his hand with a smile: "Your big shopkeeper bluffed me into saying that there is no longer the true work of the Western master, but I don't know what it is?" ”

"Who are you?" The man repeated.

"Oh" Li Yiqing was stunned, showing an apologetic look, "I am Li Yiqing, a disciple of Bowang Cuiyu, I will stay at your place tonight, and I will hang out at night, and I will see that this pavilion has no padlocks, so I am a little curious and rash, I am really sorry." ”

The man looked at her quietly, with no expression on his extremely white face, and his eyes seemed to dig into the sockets of a python.

Eight lives. Li Yiqing's brain strings tensed.

There wasn't even a chance to draw his sword - he wanted to kill her, with just one move.

Finally, the man walked slowly inside, and went straight to the small pavilion where the private account was kept.

Li Yiqing tried not to hold her breath, and also tried to maintain a normal heartbeat.

I don't know how long later, the gentle footsteps sounded again, and the man stepped out, his eyes still falling on her.

"I didn't take anything from your pavilion." Li Yiqing smiled helplessly.

He raised the scroll in his hand again: "This is not counted, I will take it to your big shopkeeper to settle the bill." ”

The man looked at her quietly: "Open it and take a look." ”

“.” Li Yiqing's heart fell to the bottom.

In a hurry, the few pages torn from the ledger only had time to be rolled inside, and the little corner of the paper was still hidden by her fingers.

"That's what I got from that table." The girl pointed inside.

The man didn't say a word, and the atmosphere became colder.

Suddenly, there was a slight emptiness under her fingers, and the girl immediately smiled helplessly, put the scroll in front of her, and slowly opened it towards the man.

"Look, this is it—this is the seal of the West."

The scroll slowly unfolded, and the characters impregnated by time slowly revealed themselves in front of the man, nothing fell out, and in the scroll that had not yet been opened, the film-like blue fiery silk crawled all over the pages of account paper, silently and invisibly, turning them into nothing that was even left of ashes.
