Linlang Water Pavilion is a small island in the middle of the lake in the north of the Xia Guo Mansion.

The island wasn't big, but less than 300 square meters.

However, an old attic that stores the books of the Xia family in the past dynasties, plus a small four-corner building with pillars on the water, and a wooden trestle bridge for boats to dock, the rest are just some green plants and red flowers.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has not yet arrived, and the moon is also broken.

The green bamboos propped up the dead pennies and paddled pole by pole on the twilight water.

And the twilight shattered, and became a pool of dim light.

In the distance, there is a stone stele at the entrance of the water pavilion, and six words are written on the stele: One year island, the night is not disturbed.

This is written by the ancestors of the Xia family, which means "if you want to live in the water pavilion, it is limited to one year, and you can't leave", and after nightfall, outsiders can not disturb it, which is a "quiet to far, indifferent to Mingzhi" meaning.

If you are a scholar, you should study quietly here and no longer care about things outside the island.

If you are a martial arts practitioner, you are here to meditate and practice martial arts.

Almost everyone in the Xia family has lived on this island, up to Xia Guogong, then to Xia Mingkong, and then to Xia Qing, all of them have lived, perhaps because of such strange family rules, the Xia family can produce one unicorn after another, so as not to "die in three generations".

Now, Xia Ji took the initiative to ask to come to this island to live for a long time, not just to read books, no matter who it is, he is very relieved in his heart, and he feels that the little grandfather is sensible, and he must have turned into a butterfly this year, after all, those Xia family members were like this before.

In the next autumn, just in the scientific examination, the little grandfather will definitely go to high school in one fell swoop, and he will not fall into the name of the Xia family.

"Hey~~~"

The green bamboo stretched out the penny, pointed far to the shore, and paddled twice.

The bow of the boat was a "snap", and it hit the wooden trestle protruding from the lake, she grabbed a thick rope, gently carried the force, jumped on the trestle, and began to tie the cable to fix the boat.

Xia Ji then walked down...

He glanced around.

It's quiet and tranquil, as if away from the hustle and bustle.

Since you don't travel far, it is also a good choice to read a book here to obtain the "exercises for the fusion of golden fingers".

What's more, he must be here, trying to find a way to "how to reverse the iron law", so that he can even step into the realm of the righteous path.

Moreover, Sister Xiaoqing said today that "the devil's way is rampant, and the world is gradually chaotic", and he needs an environment where "even if he goes out, no one will know about it".

A variety of water pavilions just meet these three points.

So, here he comes.

...

...

"It's so heavy... Childe, you have a lot of books. ”

Soon, the second boat arrived, and Blueberry commanded many strong nurses to start moving books.

These are all books in Xia Ji's house, and they packed four large boxes, and they have almost moved them all.

Xia Ji said: "Go back, it's night." ”

The maids looked at the sky, it was indeed late.

Considering the strange rules of the Linlang Water Pavilion, Blueberry Zi said: "Then I'll bring some thin hands and feet tomorrow to help Gongzi sort out the books." ”

Xia Ji nodded, said hello, and then he watched the two-leaf boat go away in the afterglow of the sky.

Yes...

There are no boats in the Linlang Water Pavilion, and the water around them is very deep, which also limits the thirst of the "island dwellers" to leave to a certain extent, and restricts the restless heart ape.

In fact, many Xia family members who live on the island will not be trapped by "no boat" at all, but this kind of "obstacle" will make them reflect on it, and they can't help but think about "why did they come to this island", "If they left like this and gave up halfway, is it a failure", "Is it worth it to fail on a whim".

Thinking of this, they repressed the impulse in their hearts, calmed their minds, and studied and practiced.

So, this water helped many Xia family elites and ancestors to suppress... The devil in my heart.

...

...

At this time, the moonlight is like water.

But in another place, it is far from being calm here, it seems to be some ominous signs of national turmoil, the beginning of some heaven and earth cracking, and the beginning of a storm that swept the territory of Shu.

The moonlight is miserable white, as white as unearthed dry bones.

On both sides of the white mountain road are steep ghost-like forests, and on the road, there are patrols with torches and hounds.

Sniff sniff sniff...

The dogs sniff in front of...

The elite patrol who pulled the dog had a serious expression, and was searching for something in this reckless deep mountain.

The man at the head had a face as heavy as iron, and unlike other patrols, he carried six knives on his back, and his robe was also embroidered with golden flying fish.

"Check carefully, there are still murderers who dare to send invitations... Invite us to come here to watch the slaughter show, arrogant, domineering, damn it!!" The man's voice was cold, and he walked forward step by step.

Around him, there were seventy or eighty elite patrolmen and hounds scurrying through the long grass.

Not long after, a patrolman in a blue fish suit quickly ran in front of the man from a distance and said respectfully: "Lord Zhao, there is a spot about 800 meters in front of the left." ”

Lord Zhao is one of the four great gods of Wudang Feimen - Zhao Blood.

Zhao Xue's realm is not low, he has already stepped into the realm of the fifth-grade grandmaster in half a step, and his actions are known for being fast, and there is no big problem in suppressing the same realm.

Hearing the report, Zhao Xue sneered: "The show is about to begin..."

With that, he clapped his hands, and all the patrols that had been out to investigate returned.

Zhao Xue said: "Prepare for battle." ”

As soon as the words were uttered, all the patrolmen immediately took out two pills with different fragrances from their arms and threw them into their mouths.

One of them is an antidote, detoxify in advance to prevent getting hit.

The other is a powerful refreshment pill to break the hypnotic drugs such as lethargy.

Then the eight tall people in these patrols walked in four directions, south, south, north, and west, and at the same time grabbed a thick iron shield two meters high and two meters wide from behind and erected it directly.

In an instant, this patrol team that had no flying gate was like a mobile fortress, which could be attacked and defended.

Zhao Xue was in the center of this team.

The moon is nearing its fullest, and it is a little gloomy and cold.

The cold wind blew, casting the shadows of black clouds into the deep mountains and dense forests from time to time, and the sky and the earth were bright and dark.

Quack quack...

Suddenly, some big black birds went crazy and began to disperse.

Zhao Xue's hands were stretched, and the six knives were already filled with true qi, and he was ready to strike at any time.

The patrol team soon came to "800 meters away"...

Zhao Xue looked up keenly and saw strange black shadows hanging on the treetops not far away.

Like a hanged corpse, but I don't know what it is.

Because those black shadows were shrouded in black bags all over their bodies.

Bang bang bang...

As if someone had stepped on something, the black bags in the distance were suddenly lifted, revealing eight men and women hanging from the treetops, and these eight people were not hanged, but their bodies were tied as a whole.

What's more, there are eight names hanging in front of these eight people.

But these eight names are not their own, but the four great gods of Wudang Feimen, the king of fishing, and the two small names of the Eagle Hall, as well as Xia Wuving, who has the name of the world's first god catcher.

Zhao Xue swept over the names, and his heart was even more vigilant, and at the same time frowned, he could see at a glance that these people should be ordinary people in the national capital, and they all seemed to be still breathing, not dead, just sleeping.

"Alert!"

This god couldn't figure out what kind of trick this was, and he was not in a hurry to save people, but his whole body tensed, waiting for the evil demon to appear, and who would kill whom.

The air was tight.

The Quartet is quiet and scary.

But there was no movement.

Zhao Xue's eyes quickly turned, and the whole person was a strong bow that had already pulled the bowstring, just waiting for the person from the Demon Gate to appear.

Whoa...

Cold sweat was already flowing down the backs of the patrolling officers around.

But no one moved.

Because everyone is ready, no matter who comes, there will be a continuous stream of crossbow arrows shooting towards that person in an instant, and Lord Zhao Xuexue is the best at medium-range attacks, and the six long knives can instantly split the corpse of the enemy in the rain of arrows!

The yin wind blew, and the black clouds came and went, until they were blown away, and the rich moonlight of the sky was revealed.

The brilliance of the near-full moon was incomparably bright, penetrating the dense forest, turning into pillars of pale yellow light that fell obliquely, shining on everyone.

Woo~~~

Suddenly, there was a strange sound.

Then, a terrible scream suddenly tore through the peace.

"Ah!!!h

A woman hung in the treetops, screaming as if she had suddenly woken up from a nightmare, followed by a pang of fear in her eyes.

Her face was like a ripe shrimp, red for a moment, and after a thought, her whole body was red.

"Ah~~ Save me, save me!!"

The shrill scream didn't sound twice, and the woman's whole body was burned, spewing green high-temperature flames from the inside out.

She struggled frantically in the rope of the treetops, but in a few seconds she burned to the body of black charcoal, and then the corpse was strangled by the rope, and it was broken in two, falling from a great place, smashing on the ground, and shattering into several pieces.

The patrolmen watched in disbelief, their minds blank.

Their hearts were seized by the hands of terror.

A chill ran through the soles of their feet and went straight to their heads.

And while they were stunned, everyone else, like this woman, spontaneously combusted in the bright moonlight.

One of the men stretched out his hand in pain, grabbed it hard, and roared in his mouth: "The door of the underworld is open, the ghost pawn is reinstated, the eight sinners, the soul is hooked and asked for life... Heh, hahaha..."

This strange roar echoed in the silent night.

Zhao Xuexue snorted coldly: "Nonsense!!"

He raised his hand and directly smashed the man who said "The door of the underworld is open" with a palm in the air, and then raised his voice: "The evil demon is outside, pretending to be a ghost, and he doesn't show up quickly!!"

But no one responded to him ...

Just when Zhao Xue was still sensing around, the patrol around him suddenly heard an irrepressible sound of horror.

"Ghost..."

"What the hell..."

Zhao Xue tilted his head, only to see that the black charcoal corpses on the ground were actually moving, and then slowly put together a terrifying human form, smiling weirdly, looking at them, and then roaring in a strange voice: "You... will all die. ”
