Liu Xiaolou's gaze also moved in the lobby with Hou Sheng's gaze, and when he turned to Tan Bazhang, Hou Sheng paused slightly, and then walked around, Liu Xiaolou breathed a sigh of relief. Although Hou Sheng had seen Tan Bazhang on the Ghost Dream Cliff, he hadn't had too much contact after all, and Tan Bazhang had made some changes in appearance, so he didn't recognize it.

After playing, the music began again, and the guests downstairs at first went upstairs to watch, but then they got used to it and resumed their conversation, and the lobby was noisy.

Hou Sheng finally spoke, his voice was very lightly controlled, and it came faintly in the sound of the pipa, Liu Xiaolou just heard it, but it was a little difficult to hear.

"So, you've got it all figured?"

"Think ...... it"

"Let's talk about it."

"Yes...... Xingde ......"

"Don't mention names."

"Yes...... They didn't hide far away, in fact, they were close to the left. ”

"Oh?"

Since the original plan didn't work, there was only an alternative, Liu Xiaolou glanced downstairs again, and said, "They...... Maybe it's on the Miluo River. ”

"Perhaps?"

"Deacon Hou, after they separated, I didn't see them, but he said that if there is anything, you can go to Miluo River to kill the tiger and leave a letter."

Deacon Hou stared at Liu Xiaolou's eyes for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "He is bold, he has been hiding in the left side of Dongting, well, this choice is not bad, very smart!" ”

After a while, Hou Sheng asked again: "Where are they hiding in the mouth of the tiger?" ”

Liu Xiaolou said: "I don't know, after I went, I left a token at the mouth of the tiger, and when they saw it, they would come over to meet." ”

"They're killing tigers?"

"I don't know, I don't think so, otherwise I wouldn't have been allowed to leave a mark."

"What token?"

"Deacon Hou, my array ......"

"I didn't get it, what do you want?"

"I won't say anything if I don't see the array."

"You're bargaining with me?" Hou Sheng's face sank, staring at Liu Xiaolou.

Liu Xiaolou felt Hou Sheng's disdain and murderous intent, but he still insisted: "Deacon Hou, I have exhausted all my efforts and used up all my family property for this array, if it weren't for this, I would never have come here to see Deacon Hou." Our fellow Daoists in Oolong Mountain have never turned their backs on friends, I can't help it, I am forced to do this, if it spreads, then I will be ruined! ”

After a moment of confrontation, Hou Sheng's face gradually softened, and he said coldly: "You lead the way, and after the matter is completed, I will give you a bounty and three spirit stones." But remember, don't play tricks, or I'll chop you to pieces and feed them to the dogs! ”

As he spoke, he took out the array plate from his arms and shook it in Liu Xiaolou's face: "It's time to kill the tiger." ”

Liu Xiaolou reluctantly watched Hou Sheng take back the array plate, and suggested: "Deacon Hou, how many people are you going to mobilize this time?" ”

Hou Sheng said coldly: "What are you asking about?" ”

Liu Xiaolou explained: "Xing Dejun's cultivation is similar to you, and Qi Niang, who is said to be seven layers!" ”

Hou Sheng seemed to smile: "So what? ”

Liu Xiaolou said anxiously: "You won't go alone, right?" If your cultivation is too low, not only can it not help, but although Deacon Hou, although your cultivation is exquisite, you are not afraid, but you can ...... It's not that easy to take both, right? ”

Hou Sheng sneered: "Are you worried about yourself?" ”

Liu Xiaolou said worriedly: "Can you not be worried?" What do I do...... But if I bring Deacon Hou over, the first one they will kill will be me! ”

Hou Sheng said lightly: "You put your heart in your stomach, and you'll be fine." ”

Liu Xiaolou knocked on the side for a few more words, but he never got the right letter, and he didn't know whether Hou Sheng would go by himself or transfer people from the sect. Forget it, you can only take one step at a time.

After the third song, Hou Sheng bowed his head slightly to Yong'e, Yong'e got up and said goodbye, and went down with the pipa in her arms.

"Let's go." Hou Sheng got up and went downstairs.

Liu Xiaolou was stunned: "Do you want to go now?" ”

Hou Sheng asked rhetorically: "When do you think it should be?" ”

Liu Xiaolou said: "No, what do you mean, will it be a little hasty?" Deacon Hou, don't you make some preparations......"

Hou Sheng turned his hand and grabbed Liu Xiaolou's arm, and clasped Liu Xiaolou's meridians, which made him extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't go on.

In this way, the two of them left the Green Courtyard like close friends for many years.

Sister Cui chased after her and said, "Deacon Hou, this is leaving?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Hou Sheng threw out a piece of silver, Sister Cui hurriedly grabbed it in her hand, and laughed with her: "Deacon Hou, come back next time......"

Taking this opportunity, Liu Xiaolou turned his head to glance at Tan Bazhang, and finally saw Tan Bazhang's eyes coming over, Tan Bazhang nodded lightly, then left the table and went to the backyard, this is to inform Wei Hongqing and Zuo Gaofeng.

Out of Yueyangfang City, Hou Sheng let go of Liu Xiaolou's arm: "Lead the way." ”

Liu Xiaolou smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, Deacon Hou, I have never been to the Miluo River, and I don't know where the tiger's mouth is, so I really don't know the way." ”

Hou Sheng frowned, shook his head and walked first, and soon came to a river, which was the Miluo River. The Miluo River is not wide, the water is very fast, the coast goes up to the west, travels for two hours, and then turns into a branch river next to it.

The stream winded around the mountains, rising higher, and at one point the surface of the river shrank abruptly, and the banks were extremely steep, with steep cliffs on both sides.

At this moment, Hou Sheng and Liu Xiaolou were standing on a cliff, overlooking the turbulent river.

Hou Sheng said: "This is the mouth of the tiger." Where are you going to leave your books? ”

Liu Xiaolou said: "Please also ask Deacon Hou to return the array to me." ”

Hou Sheng said coldly: "I'll give it to you if I find a place, don't play tricks, otherwise I'll even open your teacher's tomb for you!" ”

Liu Xiaolou hesitated for a moment and said, "I can find it, Deacon Hou, you can't lose your words anymore." ”

So Liu Xiaolou was in front and Hou Sheng was behind, walking along the riverbank. In fact, he had already seen the three eye-catching willow trees in front of him from a distance, but he still walked very slowly, and from time to time he went to a high place, looking at the terrain of the tiger's mouth, or running around, as if looking for something, the purpose was to buy Wei Hongqing and them a little more time and be fully prepared.

At the same time, he really didn't find out along the way, Hou Sheng left a letter to summon people, it seems that Wei Hongqing's understanding of him is relatively accurate, this guy is a lone traveler.

Finally came to the place of the three willow trees, Liu Xiaolou approached the river, looked at the river below, and vaguely saw a hole in the steep wall five or six zhang high below, only a few feet high from the water, although it was not real from the top down, but also felt that it was really a good place to ambush.

"How? Did you find it? Hou Sheng urged.

"Deacon Hou, don't you really need to call for helpers? Xing Dejun is a master who is about to be consummated, and Zhou Qiniang ......" Liu Xiaolou tried his best to make a cliché.

Hou Sheng looked at him: "What do you want to ask?" ”

"Deacon Hou, I don't want to ask anything, I just want to know if I need to leave now!" Liu Xiaolou was a little angry.

Hou Sheng stared at Liu Xiaolou for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "So, this is it?" He looked around and nodded, "These three willow trees...... Sure enough, eye-catching......" paced to the edge of the cliff and looked down at the river, and said, "There is a cave below?" ”

Liu Xiaolou sighed and nodded.
