Chapter 2: Serendipity

The Eight Elders sped down from the top of the Dragon Peak, and after a night of searching, they still did not find the body of the boy who jumped off the cliff.

"Big brother, what should I do?"

"Keep looking until you find it. The old man at the head still did not give up: "If you live to see people, you must see corpses when you die." I could see the blood book very clearly, it had been firmly placed in his arms before he jumped off the cliff. In other words, as long as we can find his body, then the blood book will also be found. ”

"But the place at the top of the Dragon Peak is so big, how can we find it?" an old man beside him asked, "Besides, this kid jumped from the top of the cliff, and it was night and the cold wind was at its worst. The wind on the top of Dragon Peak is different from the wind in other places, and its liliang can easily roll a person up. If that's the case, then it's hard to determine exactly where this kid's body will be. ”

"Don't talk so much nonsense. The old man at the head shouted: "Even if it is difficult to find, you must find it for me, otherwise how can we explain it to the Lord?"

"If it had fallen from the right direction, the body would have been around here. Another old man said, "But we have been looking around here all night, and Weishenme has not even had a clue?

"So do you have any more ideas?"

"This"

The old man was silent, but the other old man beside him couldn't help but light up.

"Big brother, look there!"

The old man pointed with his hand, and the direction of his finger happened to be a river with a very fast current.

"Since there is no trace at all, could the boy have fallen off a cliff and directly into the river and then been swept away by the rushing current?"

"Well, there's a possibility. ”

The old man twisted his silver hair, and couldn't help but nod.

"Okay, then let's follow the flow of the river downstream. ”

As he spoke, he swam straight to Xiangxia. The remaining seven elders were helpless, and they had to follow.

Shijie downstream, the scenery is beautiful.

A personable young man in white was shaking a folding fan and walking slowly from afar, accompanied by a scholar.

The young man looks like he is no more than 17 or 8 years old, and he is born with handsome eyebrows. The scholar followed him leisurely behind him with his burden on his back, and looked around with some vigilance from time to time.

"Ah Sheng, what do you think of the scenery here?"

The boy shook the paper fan and couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, it's beautiful. The scholar replied with a smile: "I have lived in the city for a long time, and it is not bad to come here once in a while to relax." The eldest young master really knows how to choose a place, although the little one grew up in Xiongzhou, but this is the first time to come to the top of Longfeng. Compared with the prosperity of the town, the scenery here has a unique charm. ”

"Hehe~ Isn't it?" the young man smiled: "I've been in the city for a long time, and I have to breathe fresh air occasionally!"

As the young man said this, his eyes full of pleasure couldn't help but look around. At this time, the stream at his feet was murmuring, and the young man looked along the winding waterway, but he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Young Master, what's wrong?"

The scholar couldn't help but ask suspiciously when he saw the young man's discolored gaze. The young man frowned slightly, and at the same time couldn't help but close the paper fan and point to the stream not far away.

"Ah Sheng, look, is there a person not far away?"

The scholar was stunned, and then looked along the place where the young man's fan was pointing. In the mist, there was a young man lying by the stream.

"It seems to be. ”

"Then go check it out!"

The young man said this, and then the two of them galloped away in a few arrows. Through the layers of mist, the figure of the boy who had fainted on the ground in the murmuring water of the stream gradually became clear.

"This guy seems to be quite young?"

The young man in white leaned down and used a fan to pick up the young man's hair, which now looked a little disheveled.

"And ...... breathing"

The young man in white said this, but the scholar couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the fainted young man's bruises all over his body at this time.

"Young master, this person seems to have been seriously injured. ”

"Oh, it looks like it is. The young man in white nodded indifferently, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Seeing that he still has breathing, he should still be saved." In this way, Ah Sheng, you carry him on your back, and we will bring him back to the house. ”

"This ......"

The scholar hesitated, and at the same time couldn't help frowning.

"Is there anything wrong?"

"Oh, the sudden discovery of a man in the wilderness. We don't know the identity of this person, but if it's some kind of villain, aren't we helping to commit abuse?"

"Where is there so much nonsense, let you save you. ”

The white-clothed young man had a little anger on his face, and the scholar didn't dare to say anything more, but directly reached out and picked up the injured boy and stood up.

Standing up, the scholar's eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly. The young man in white was stunned, and then asked.

"What's wrong? Is it too heavy?"

"No, young master. The scholar replied, "It seems that there are eight strong qi coming towards us." ”

"Eight strong qi?"

The young man in white was stunned, and at the same time, his eyes were full of doubts and looked at the scholar who picked up the fainted boy on his back.

"How are they better than you?"

The young man in white asked, and the scholar couldn't help but straighten his attitude.

"Truth be told, none of them are below me. ”

"So powerful, well, since you said so, these people should be not small!"

The young man in white said this, and at the same time, a little hesitation could not help but appear in his eyes.

"Well, I think it's very likely that these eight people are here for this boy. ”

The scholar made a guess, and the young man in white nodded after him.

"Do you want me to send them away, then?"

"No!" the young man in white waved his hand, "I don't think it's necessary." ”

He said this, and his eyes couldn't help but look around. At this time, there was a bush not far from them, and the young man in white couldn't help but smile when he looked at it.

"Carry him over there and hide him. ”

"Yes. ”

The scholar answered.

The young man in white also wanted to follow, but he inadvertently saw blood droplets remaining on the ground. He frowned slightly, but immediately smiled indifferently.

"Ah Sheng, do you have a dagger for self-defense?"

The boy asked, and the scholar was puzzled but nodded immediately.

"Okay, bring it to me. ”

The scholar didn't know what the boy was going to do, but in confusion he handed him the dagger hidden in his arms.

"Young Master, ...... you are"

Before the scholar could ask, the young man in white had already pulled the dagger out of its scabbard.

In a flash of cold light, the scholar's eyes widened in horror. The young man in white showed no mercy at this time, and the dagger in his hand had already cut his wrist in a flash. The blood kept flowing down and dripping on the ground, and it was fused with the blood of the fainted boy.

The scholar was stunned, but the white-clothed young man's pale face was full of pleasant smiles.
