May 1st: Autumn Leaves

Xu Fei quickly whipped his horse and did not hesitate to use any horsepower, and the wind was whistling in his ears.

He has a deep relationship with the Marquis of Changsheng, and at this time, he doesn't know how to be anxious about the injury, according to the news of the spies, he has fallen into the means of the master of the "Gang Tang", and his heart is even more heavy.

Although the Lou Tiangou method is inexplicable, but the people who have been refined for many years are very powerful, and the immortal Hou Jinqi has no effect of self-defense, and I am afraid that it will be more than auspicious if I fall into such a method.

Thinking of this, regardless of the multiple injuries on his body, he flew off his horse and used his light skills to cooperate with his strength to run towards the location of Changsheng Hou.

The Immortal Marquis is now lying quietly in the secret room of the separate hall, breathing evenly and his face is as usual, but lying on the bed, he can't see the slightest breath of a living person, like a dead person who can breathe. This kind of strange feeling can be truly experienced by everyone present.

A long-haired young man next to him was silently waiting, and it was the resentful ghost boy who had been refined by the "Gang Tang Hall". But at this time, the young man's eyes were calm and clear, his delicate face was like a big boy next door, the poisonous sores on his skin had disappeared, and he was looking at Changshenghou with concern.

At this moment, I heard a sound outside the door, and Xu Fei had already knocked open the door and galloped inside. The subordinates who had been waiting outside the door for a long time introduced Xu Fei into the secret room, and rushed in to see the strange state of the Immortal Marquis, and his heart sank.

Listening to the subordinate who was waiting next to him, it turned out that the master of the horse hall was suddenly attacked by several enemy masters, and although the injury was not fatal, it was also very heavy.

When they arrived at Lijia Lane, many masters suddenly attacked, and the two hall masters who escorted them struggled to meet the battle, but they were outnumbered and fell into the upper hand. Changsheng Hou was sprinkled with a wisp of powder by a master who looked like a "Gang Tang Hall" from a distance.

The day before yesterday, the young man who was repaired by the Immortal Hou also went to this time, and suddenly attacked, coming and going like the wind, killing fiercely, killing three enemy masters in just a moment, but when the enemy was killed, he found that the Immortal Hou had fallen asleep and could not wake up, although the breath was uniform and the complexion was the same, but no matter who looked at it, there was a feeling of the living dead.

Xu Fei listened and hurriedly asked, "What kind of good doctor is there in the door, how to crack such a strange evil method?"

The doorman said in a low voice: "The famous doctors in Kyoto have been invited all over the night, but there is no way to cure them. ”

Suddenly, the repaired young man said, "The Immortal Marquis was sealed by the magic of witchcraft, so he became a living dead. ”

As soon as he said this, he reminded Xu Fei that this young man had grown up in the "Gang Hall" since he was a child, and he knew all kinds of witchcraft well, and asked at the moment: "How to solve the law? What do you call a brother?"

The young man said in a low voice: "My name is Zhou Yun, this method has no worries about life, but it is not half a point different from the dead, the methods of the Gang Tang are all ruthless and vicious, and there is no physiology if you are poisoned, but this is not the Gu technique of the Gang Hall, this is the spell of the white crow clan who believe in shamans on the grassland, it is not fatal, but it will fall into an endless sleep, and only the wizards of this clan can save it." ”

Xu Fei listened to the hatred and said: "It is another force that is fighting for the tiger, and it will be eradicated." ”

Zhou Yun said: "The White Crow clan is not a bad person, they are all tribes of the grassland, with noble status, born pure and simple, and have no scheming, and they have been a wizard clan respected by all tribes of the grassland for generations. This time, Hou Ye was spelled by the White Crow Clan, most likely because he was bewitched by the Guardian Hall, or there was some misunderstanding. ”

Xu Fei asked: "In this case, why don't you send someone to the grassland to explain the reason and get the antidote." ”

Zhou Yun lowered his head and was silent, and said for a while: "The White Crow clan has a simple temperament, but they are all masters of martial arts, and almost no people from the Central Plains have dealt with it, so I am afraid that this matter is not easy." Although I looked sluggish when I was in the Wing Hall, I was conscious in my heart, and I remembered their every word and deed. ”

Xu Fei knew in his heart that this matter could only be discussed in the long run, so he had to tell Zhou Yun to be careful and cautious to protect the Immortal Marquis.

Zhou Yun knew that he was able to see the light of day again thanks to the Immortal Marquis, and his family was killed by the Elder Gang Tang and had nowhere to go, and he regarded the Immortal Marquis as a reborn parent, and he promised everything.

After a few days, the overall situation of Centipede Street has been decided, and the power of Jiangnan Yanyulou has firmly laid a foundation here. Chu Jinghong also came to visit Changshenghou, but he was also at a loss.

Xu Fei also told Chu Jinghong about the court matters that Lord Wang Nuo and himself said, and the two discussed it carefully.

At this time, the situation was turbulent, foreign invasions, General Chen Hezhi was out and did not return for a long time, and the Taishi Qin Junbai colluded with the Supreme Gate Dong Tianwang above this temple, and sealed the position of Heavenly Master to reach the heavens, and there was the demon god Lu Wei to rely on force. Although Zhou Xiongqi is the prime minister, although he is both civil and military, he is difficult to support alone.

Now the plan, if this situation is deadlocked, wait for General Chen Hezhi to return to Beijing and then make plans, if there is a change in the capital, he will unite with Zhou Xiong to fight against the traitors.

It's a pity that Zhou Xiongqi has been a high-ranking official for generations, and he despises the rivers and lakes and only does the power struggle of the temple, and he is lukewarm with the Yanyulou in the south of the Yangtze River. In the long run, if there is an emergency, I am afraid that there will be some hidden dangers.

After all, this Xu Fei is young, where can he understand the turbulent undercurrents in such temples, and when he hears this, he only understands a rough idea, and the implication is that if the other party has no emergencies, he will wait and see.

So he opened his mouth and said to Chu Jinghong: "This immortal marquis has a good relationship with me, it is a friend who has forgotten his life, and he is really worried when he sees his life and death unknown, but Zhou Yun, a young man who used to support the Elder Clan, knows how to save him, since the capital is temporarily calm, the younger brother wants to go with Zhou Yun to find the antidote for the white crow clan, I don't know what the eldest brother wants?"

Chu Jinghong said: "I have asked Zhou Yun in detail about this matter, although the way of doing things is very different between the Gang Tang and the White Crow Clan, the methods used are quite similar, they are all used to refine the strength of various rare and rare exotic flowers and plants or insects, one is used to kill people and harm people, and the other is used to cast spells and blessings on the grassland warriors. ”

"This clan has a simple and kind temperament, but it is very martial, strong temperament, easy to misunderstand, brother wants to go for the brother to know that you can't stop you, but this back and forth nearly two thousand miles, even if the road frequently changes fast horses, go smoothly and properly, I am afraid that it will be a month to go back and forth, for the brother is really worried. ”

Xu Fei said: "The younger brother will definitely not argue with others, take the lead in everything, be silent, and rest assured." ”

Chu Jinghong looked at Xu Fei and didn't speak, and after a while, the two of them laughed out loud at the same time.

Chu Jinghong said with a smile: "If the brother can be silent and forbearance in everything, then the sun will be in the west and the east will set, so be very careful, then Zhou Yun followed the Yan Tang many times to the grassland of the white crow to exchange drug materials, and exchanged ideas, so it will save time to bring him as a guide." ”

Xu Fei also had a good impression of Zhou Yun, and he responded immediately.

Waiting for Chu Jinghong's sword to be unsheathed and the loss of the Yuan Shen recovered as before, Xu Fei and Zhou Yun prepared horses to wrap around, brought gifts and medicinal materials and other meeting gifts, and said goodbye to the people of Jiangnan Yanyulou and went to the grassland.

At this time, more than a month has passed since the autumn equinox, and it is the last season of autumn. The air is solemn and condensed, the dew is frosty, and in the early morning, the cold air of the branch road is soaked through the clothes, and the road is covered with a layer of gray-white frost.

By this time, the weather had gradually turned colder, and the jackals began to intensify their prey to replenish the fat stored for the winter. The grass and trees have also turned yellow, the fallen leaves are colorful, and the earth is covered with a layer of golden autumn color. The insects have also stopped chirping, and are dormant in the soil, winter is coming.

The road traveled for a few days, the weather is getting cooler day by day, both of them are teenagers, strong physique, and they are also worried about the magic in the longevity, there will be hidden dangers in the long run, so they are up early in the morning, and only hit the sharp store when the lamp is held, and at noon on the road are looking for a tea and rice wine shop to eat indiscriminately, if you miss it, eat some dried meat naan cakes immediately, try to catch up with some more distances.

As the day was moving, the miscellaneous trees on both sides of the road slowly turned into maple trees, and further on, there were no miscellaneous trees, all tall maple trees.

It is already located in the north, and the climate is colder than Kyoto, and during the frost season, the fiery red maple leaves hang all over the branches and treetops, spreading like a lit wildfire on the mountain road, dyeing the banks of the valley and the lonely autumn red.

That Zhou Yun has been manipulated by others like a puppet since he was a child, but he is clear and has never enjoyed the feeling of freedom.

Today, when I saw this fiery maple leaf, I jumped off the horse like a child, picked up a piece in the east and looked for a branch in the west, and a happy expression hung on my face.

Xu Fei felt sour in his heart, he was also an orphan who was raised by the dart bureau since he was a child, and he was so happy to see Zhou Yun today, just like two brothers who depended on each other in the end of the world.

I only heard Zhou Yun say: "I follow this road every year, but I have never been blessed to touch these red leaves, and when I look at this leaf closely, it is so beautiful, Xu Shaoxia also came down to take a look." ”

Xu Fei said with a smile: "It's too much to be called like this, you and I are commensurate with each other, I call you Brother Yun, and you can call me eldest brother." ”

I secretly thought in my heart that I hadn't reached twenty yet, and I actually accepted a younger brother, which was really a trick.

That week, Yun searched for a long time, found a few red flawless leaves and gave them to Xu Fei, and he also left a few pieces sandwiched in the mezzanine of the gift, which were kept properly like a baby.

When Xu Fei saw it, he felt funny and sour in his heart, and let Zhou Yun be happy and mess around, and Zhou Yun was familiar with the path and introduced Xu Fei while riding side by side.

"Big brother, here is called the Red Leaf Valley, it is a canyon and then go more than ten miles, surrounded by mountains but it is a very vast plain, there are tens of thousands of people in it but there is no city, it is the largest grain production place of the imperial court, this group of mountains surrounds it and there are two huge plains in it, Wujing River runs through the two plains from this red leaf valley and then passes through the mountain range to the north, the two plains are circular and the narrow red leaf valley is like a gourd, so it is named Hulu Mountain. As he spoke, he had reached the bottom of the Valley of Red Leaves.

Suddenly a card is in the way.
