The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, but the weather has not turned cool, the air pressure is extremely low, and the tide is unbearable. Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded, and a thick rain poured down from the sky.

Soon after Ai Li and Wulian left the official ship, they caught up with the heavy rain. Fortunately, there was a tea shed on the side of the road, and the two hurriedly ran in to avoid the rain. Ai Li asked for a pot of flower tea, but there was nothing to eat in the mountains, so he asked for a few sweet cakes as snacks. Ai Li drank tea and enjoyed the rain, and Wu Lian was happily eating sweet cakes beside her, but she felt a little busy and idle.

It's a mountain, and the road is empty. No one would walk in such rain if there was nothing important.

There are exceptions, though. After the two of them sat for a while, they saw a magnificent black-lacquered carriage, braving the torrential rain, passing by the mountain road in front of them.

The strange thing is that in the driver's position, there seems to be someone, and there is no one. The downpour gave people the illusion that there should be no hallucination, as if an illusory shadow was driving the carriage.

Through the carriage window, you can vaguely see a middle-aged man in a brocade dress holding a young woman in a flowery shirt bowing his head and whispering.

Inadvertently, the man in fancy clothes glanced out of the window and couldn't help but let out a surprised "huh".

The young woman beside him raised her head from his shoulder, revealing a very gorgeous face, and asked coquettishly, "What's wrong with you?"

The look in the man's eyes did not disappear, and he said with a little puzzlement: "I seem to have seen an acquaintance in the tea shed. ”

The young woman's jade fingers gently caressed his chest, "No, right? ”

The man in the fancy dress thought for a moment and chuckled, "It's about me who read it wrong." The man must have died. ”

"Allow me to confirm it for you. Suddenly, outside the car window, the voice of the shadow coachman came. His voice was low and harsh, and it immediately overshadowed the sound of the rain falling.

The eyes of the man in the Chinese costume flashed again. After a pause, he said slowly: "Since you want to go, it's better to check it out." ”

The young woman said to the shadow coachman in displeasure, "Who is driving when you go, do you want us to wait for you in this wilderness?"

"No, I'll send the adults back first, and then I'll come back and check it out. The shrill voice of the shadow coachman came from the window again.

At noon, the sun is shining. The main street of Wenye City is bustling with traffic.

The restaurant was noisy. Ai Li chose a quiet corner and ordered food to eat with Wulian. Out of the mountains, the two discovered this small city. You can buy horses and some clothes.

As they ate their steaming meals, they both let out a sigh of contentment. All the way by boat, I was really tired of fish porridge.

As soon as the meal was finished, someone suddenly asked the proprietress in front of the stage, "Have you ever seen a tall girl with a little monk passing by here?"

Ai Li looked up and saw that it was Zhan Feipeng.

She couldn't help frowning: "Tsk, this man is really haunted! This is the third time I've met him since I went ashore.

The first time was on the afternoon of the day before, when the two of them came ashore and came to the city to buy horses. Zhan Feipeng suddenly appeared out of nowhere, shouting that the demon girl and demon monk rushed towards them. Fortunately, the horse had been bought, and Ai Li pulled up Wulian, got on the horse and left. The second time was yesterday at noon, Ai Li was shopping for supplies on the street, and he appeared in a ghostly manner, so that Ai Li didn't even bother to take the change, and ran away quickly with Wulian. Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them sat down to eat a hot meal today, this sticky spirit came to the door again.

Ai Li glanced at Wu Lian, and the two quietly slipped away from the side door of the restaurant.

It's not that I'm afraid of him, it's just that Ai Li promised Cangshi to kill the tyrannosaurus. If you get stuck to this guy, you don't know when you'll be able to get out. Moreover, Zhan Feipeng's brute strength is extremely strong, and his martial arts are outstanding, unless he has to, Ai Li doesn't want to provoke him. Injuries come second, and delaying business will outweigh the losses. However, being chased like this made her feel angry: when the matter of eliminating the dragon is over, she will definitely have a showdown with him!

Behind the counter, the proprietress pointed to the two who had just left, "Are you looking for them?"

Zhan Feipeng turned around and saw Ai Li and Wulian walking out of the store.

"Don't run, witch!" he roared, striding after him.

At this time, it was lunchtime, and everyone was in the downtown again, and after his shout, many passers-by immediately stopped and watched, and the road was soon blocked.

Ai Li stood impatiently, "I said that you are endless, I have avoided you like this, why are you always chasing me?"

When the onlookers heard her say this, they immediately became interested, pointed at the two of them, and discussed a lot. This one said, seeing that this little lady is so beautiful, doesn't that big man want to chase her as a daughter-in-law? That said, that big man looks too rough, no wonder other girls don't look down on him.

After hearing this, Zhan Feipeng's face turned red, and he explained loudly: "I'm not chasing you, I'm chasing your knife." ”

Ai Li looked at his red face and suddenly thought about it.

"You want to fight again, don't you? But I don't want to fight you. She pulled up Wulian, deliberately turned her back, and walked forward freely, "If you are embarrassed to sneak attack, slash me behind in front of everyone." Anyway, no matter how much you entangle, I won't compete with you. ”

When the onlookers heard that the two were going to fight, they retreated to both sides to make way for her.

Seeing this situation, Wu Lian's eyes flashed, and she said loudly: "Sister Ai, you have a competition with him." Didn't you beat him last time?"

"There's no bounty to take, so why do you do that wasted all your energy?"

"That's right. ”

The two walked out of the crowd as they spoke, Zhan Feipeng watched, not chasing, not chasing. Ai was away for a long time before he realized his taste and roared angrily: "No! I'm not looking for you to compete. I'm looking for you for a knife!"

......

The weather on this day can be described as unpredictable and changeable. It was still empty at noon, but it was raining again at dusk. Ai Li and Wu Lian have been far away from Wenye City, and are hiding in a small abandoned temple to avoid the rain.

When the rain gradually decreased, Ai Li looked at the heavy clouds in the sky and said, "I think this rain will not stop for a while." While the rain is light, let's set off. Hurry up and get to the next city before dark. ”

Wu Lian nodded obediently, put on her robe, and put on a hat.

The two braved the rain. When it rains, it is big and sometimes small, and when it gets dark, it finally becomes a filament, but it is still dripping and dripping.

A wasteland appeared ahead, and after a few steps, a grave sprung up.

Wu Lian rode on his horse and looked in all directions, and on the empty ground, only the two of them were walking. The sky was overcast, as if something was hidden behind the dark clouds, staring at him with malicious intent. As long as he is not careful, he will pounce on him viciously.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but shout, "Sister Ai, wait for me." It's scary here!"

"What's so scary?" Ai Li looked back at him strangely.

Wulian swallowed, "It seems that something bad will appear." ”

Seeing him look like this, Ai Li laughed loudly, "I used to walk this kind of road before, and I have never met a ghost. Seriously, I'd love to meet an insight. ”

Her laughter pierced the gloomy rain and fog like a ray of sunlight into Wulian's heart, slicing her fear in two.

Wu Lian perked up, shouted at the horses, and walked side by side with her.

After a ride, the city is visible.

Wu Lian played with her heart and said to Ai Li: "Sister Ai, let's compare and see who arrives first!"

Ai Li laughed and chased after him.

The city is getting closer and closer, and the city gates are faintly visible.

Wu Lian was overjoyed in her heart, and suddenly her horse screamed and stopped.

A ghostly shadow emerged from the rain and mist, floating in front of him. A faint green firelight flickered behind him.

"There's a ghost!" Wu Lian's face turned pale for a moment.

"No, this person is a master of martial arts. Ai Li's eyes were solemn, and he urged him to step forward and protect him behind him.

The small pieces of rain that were blowing in front of me seemed to be stained with green light. Ai Li suddenly felt a chill, and secretly vigilant in his heart: This person is so murderous!

She stared at the other party, who was tall and thin, and could not see his face clearly in the dull rain and mist, but saw a pair of cruel eyes radiating a ghostly green light.

Ai Li pursed his red lips tightly, and his right hand slowly stretched out behind his back, holding the Red Flame Farewell Knife.

The man confronted her for a moment, then suddenly disappeared into the gray rain and mist.

Ai Li exhaled and found that in a moment, the palm holding the knife was already sweating.

This person is obviously an assassination master, she is fearless, but it is extremely difficult to protect Wulian, who does not know martial arts, under the attack of this person.

Where did this mysterious man come from? Could it be that Zhan Feipeng found him again?

Ai Li couldn't help gritting his teeth, "Zhan Feipeng's guy is really hateful! What a deep hatred, even the killer was invited out." However, in her anger, she didn't pay attention, and the eyes of Wulian behind her flickered, which was a complex light of hatred and fear.

By the time the two of them entered the city, it was already dark and the rain had gradually stopped.

Walking on the street, Wulian hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "Sister Ai, I have to tell you something. ”

Ai Li heard him say solemnly, so he stopped to look at him.

Wu Lian lowered her head and said, "I'm afraid that the killer just now came to arrest me." ”

Ai Lixiu's eyebrows furrowed, "The monk of Zhenguo Temple is still a thief and wants to be unfavorable to you." ”

"It has nothing to do with Zhenguo Temple, maybe it's my former enemy. Wu Lian's voice couldn't help but carry hatred, "My people were killed by a group of assassins like that man, and I was the only one who escaped. In order to evade the pursuers, I disguised myself as a monk. The man is here today, perhaps aware of my presence. ”

Ai Li was silent and listened quietly.

Wu Lian secretly looked at her, "Sister Ai, I'm not really a monk. I lied to you, will you be mad at me?"

"I see. Ai Li nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder I don't think you look like a monk." ”

Seeing that she was not angry, Wulian breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, I really want to be a monk." My whole people have been victimized by the wicked, and it is not interesting for me to live alone in the world. ”

"You? Ai Li glanced at him disdainfully, "I love to cry, I am delicious, and I can't endure hardship, and I still want to be a monk like you, which is too embarrassing for the monk." It's better not to be. ”

"Sister Ai, don't say that!" Wu Lian was so angry that her little face turned red and she shouted unrelentingly.
