() Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid that this matter will start from the source, most of it is related to that day Langfang, but if it wasn't for Yao's shopkeeper, then who would it be?

Or who else wants this full moon flower?

Before last night, Su Mai had never mentioned this spiritual material to Shopkeeper Yao, even if he was drunk later, it was inadvertently mentioned occasionally, judging from Shopkeeper Yao's reaction, everything was natural, and did not mention anyone else who was interested in the full moon flower, it seems that at present, Tianlangfang itself is not suspicious.

If so, what is the problem?

Su Mai thought hard for a long time, but in the end there was no trace, and the flower seemed to have really run away by itself.

Just when he was confused, the sound of the wind in his ears moved, and suddenly a sound of breaking the air came, and when he looked back, he saw a small silver hairpin on the trunk of a few inches away from him, which looked quite exquisite, looking at this style, it seemed to be a woman's thing, and the strange thing was that the front end of the hairpin was still hanging with a white handkerchief, and there seemed to be handwriting on it.

Su Mai hurriedly took it down and took a look, only to see that there was a line of small characters on it, the words "suburbs, water temple!", the font Juanxiu was slightly scribbled, obviously written in a hurry, but it was not settled, I don't know who left it.

"For me?" Su Mai squeezed the handkerchief in his hand, a little at a loss.

This handwriting seems to be from a woman's hand, and if you want to break your head, you can't think of any familiar woman who will leave a book at this time.

Could it be that it has something to do with the full moon flower?

Thinking like this, he felt that it was clear, and hurriedly put away the things in his hand along with the hairpin, and then asked someone about the location of the water temple, and searched all the way.

The water temple is in the west of Wuyue City, about ten miles away from the main city, in a pine forest, there are pine waves in front, there is a hundred zhang cliff in the back, not far away, there is a small river, the river bed is very wide, but the river water is shallow and gentle, from west to east to go away.

After Su walked out of the city, he walked along a small road, hurried and slow, and arrived in the pine forest in less than two quarters of an hour.

At the end of the path, there are stone steps to climb up, not far away to see a small courtyard with red tiles and white walls, the courtyard is paved with pine needles, and it is very soft to step on.

Half of the red lacquered wooden door fell off and fell, and the plaque at the head of the door has long been gone, the stone pillars on both sides were originally engraved with couplets, the wind and the sun are blowing, the handwriting is also blurred, from the current situation, I am afraid that this place has been abandoned for a long time.

"What is the purpose of that person asking me to come here?" Su Mai thought for a while, and stepped in cautiously, a little hesitant in his heart.

The mountains and highlands here are far away, and it is inaccessible, and it is really a good place to kill people, thinking that Yao Shuo murdered Li Yun here, and I don't feel a chill in my back.

When I went out today, in order to hide my identity, I didn't even bring a sword, and I was alone, if there was really any situation, it was really a bit troublesome.

Although Su Mai was a little nervous, he was not a brave person. After looking left and right for a moment, he entered the hall.

But I saw that there was a god platform in the center, which had collapsed more than half, and the statue of the god that had been standing on it was also lying on the ground, with mutilated limbs and peeling paint, and it looked very embarrassed.

In front of the shrine, there is a wooden incense case, dust and ash are piled up, and the bronze incense burner looks gray and black, as if it has not smelled the smell of fireworks for a long time.

Here, I'm afraid that no one has come for a long time, Su Mai sighed for a while, this water temple lives here, look at this shape, it should have been the peak of incense at the beginning, but now, why was it abandoned?

This is in the main hall

It was very simple, and there was no side room on both sides, Su Mai looked around, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he bypassed the shrine, only to see a small door behind it, leading to the bottom of the cliff, Su Mai looked around along the cliff, but found nothing, and felt a little deflated.

This mysterious person asked himself to come here, did he play tricks on me, or did he see the wrong person?

Puzzled, he turned back, searched everywhere carefully, but found nothing, looked back at the frustrated idol, and then turned back to the outside.

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he looked up and found that in the small courtyard, there was a slender back, standing under a red maple tree on the left side of the courtyard.

Dressed in an emerald cigarette shirt, standing in this small courtyard in late autumn, it is particularly conspicuous, it is like a waterfall and green silk, pulled at will, draped softly on the shoulders, accompanied by the mountain breeze, inadvertently blowing, looking smart but a little naughty.

It's just that the long sword in his hand reminds Su Mai that this woman is obviously a monk.

Su Mai was stunned, and was about to open his mouth to ask, when he heard a soft voice in his ear.

"Su Mai, don't come unharmed!"

Su Mai only felt that this voice was quite familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he hurriedly asked, "...... girl?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the back slowly turn around, and a somewhat familiar pretty face appeared in front of him, with a beautiful appearance, no fat powder, a pair of beautiful eyes looking forward to it, and looking at it prettyly, making Su Mai feel uncomfortable for no reason.

"Are you ......" Su Mai saw this, his thoughts were spinning, and after a while, he finally recalled and said in shock:

"Han Ping'er!"

Han Ping'er looked at this, smiled lightly, and said, "Finally remembered me!"

"I haven't seen you for many years, when you first started, you were still a little girl, and now you are so smart, I naturally can't remember it for a while!" Su Mai smiled back, and asked again after a while:

"By the way, why are you here?"

Han Ping'er suddenly appeared here, and Su Mai was naturally full of doubts, after all, she was a member of the Iron Sword Gate, and she was an outcast who might be being chased away.

"I brought you here!" Han Ping'er said as she walked over.

"Could it be ......" Su Mai was faintly uneasy when he heard this, but looking at Han Ping'er's expression at this moment, it seemed that there was no malicious intent.

"The Iron Sword Gate has been looking for you!" Han Ping'er saw Su Mai's expression and knew what he was worried about, so he said.

"Do you want to arrest me back?" Su Mai took a breath and asked helplessly.

"Do you know what happened to the Iron Sword Gate after you left?"

Han Ping'er raised her pretty face and asked softly, Su Mai only felt a shallow fragrance wafting over, and he didn't feel a little trance.

"That day, several elders went to the ancestral hall to ask the master, I found a cave to hide, and after they left, my master took advantage of the night to send me away from the Iron Sword Gate, and then I hid in the Black Wood Mountain, and it took half a year before I dared to go down the mountain, what happened in the door, I naturally don't know!"

When Han Ping'er heard Su Mai's words, there were many loopholes and many inconsistencies, but she didn't bother to ask in detail, so she said again: "After you left, your master, Elder Dry Heart, set fire to the Patriarch Hall, and burned him to ashes, with nothing left!"

"What did you say?" Su Mai exclaimed when he heard this.

"Your master and ancestor hall are gone!" Han Ping'er sighed and replied.

"Impossible, impossible!"

Su Mai shook his head violently, kept repeating, and after a while, he muttered again: "Master, his old man is kind-hearted, guarding the ancestral hall for decades, incense every day, worshipping and sweeping, never stopping for a day, in the entire Iron Sword Gate, no one loves this ancestral hall more than him, it is impossible for him to burn it, it is impossible!"

"Well, that's true!"

Han Ping'er sighed lightly, and then recounted in detail what happened afterward, and said at the end: "That night, the fire burned the entire back mountain, and even most of the bamboo forest was destroyed, but no trace of your master was found, maybe he left!"

"I hope so!" Su Mai looked up at the sky, and saw that the clouds were rolling and scattering, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, with his understanding of the dry heart Taoist, he was afraid that he had already gone with the ancestor, and how could he steal his life alone, and besides, the master had a hidden disease, and he could not use his magical powers, so he was no different from a mortal, and how could he escape the layers of blockade of the Iron Sword Gate and escape.

Master, it was the apprentice who harmed you!" Su Mai Zhong secretly shouted, tears running down his cheeks silently.

Seeing this, Han Ping'er didn't know how to persuade her, so she stood aside and waited silently.

After a while, Su Mai came back to his senses and asked her, "For more than half a year, the Iron Sword Gate has been looking for me?"

"Yes, it has never stopped!" Han Ping'er nodded, thought about it, and said: "In the direction of Ningzhou and Qianyuan City, disciples have been arranged to wait, but it has been so long, but nothing has been found. ”

"Hey, the Iron Sword Gate is really strict, I just burned He Shiyuan by mistake, but I made such a big formation, you have to arrest me back!" Su Mai sighed.

"I'm also strange, it is said that even if you break the door rules, you should not act like this, and then I asked my master, and she was also puzzled, but Sect Master Yi issued a strict order, and you must be arrested!" Han Ping'er replied, it seemed that she really didn't know about this matter.

"This Wuyue City is thousands of miles away from the Iron Sword Gate, and I have only been here for a few days, how did you find me?" Su Mai suddenly asked.

"What are you still saying!" Han Ping'er suddenly smiled and said, "Gu Gongzi is now a celebrity in this Wuyue City, no one knows, no one knows!"

"Ah......" Su Mai was shocked when he heard this, and then reacted, in the past few days, in order to make a scene, the city has been full of rumors, and there are portraits of themselves in the Wanxian Building, if the people of the Iron Sword Gate see it, they can naturally recognize it.

Hey, it's a hundred secrets! Su Mai regretted it for a while.

"Fortunately, you are lucky!" Han Ping'er raised the sword in his hand, and then said: "The day before yesterday, a disciple of the Iron Sword Gate recognized you, and it has already been passed on to go back, and someone will come in the next two days, if nothing else, it should be Senior Brother Yuan!"

"Senior Brother Yuan?" Su Mai heard this, his heart was cold, this Master Yuan and He Shiyuan have an unusual relationship, and Xiu Wei is the best of the younger generation, he has no chance of winning by him, but on the other hand, Yuan Xiao is the first apprentice of the torture hall, and it is reasonable for him to enforce the law on behalf of the teacher.

"Since Senior Brother Yuan is here, why are you here?" Su Mai looked at Han Ping'er and wondered.

"It is rumored that the Taixuan Void Tomb Cave is about to open, and Master ordered me to go down the mountain to experience and practice, so as to increase my knowledge and facilitate my cultivation. Han Ping'er pulled her hair with her hand, and then said: "Yesterday, I went to Wuyue City, and there was a message in the door, and a disciple found out about your whereabouts, so he hurried here, because you have been secretly monitored, and it is inconvenient for me to come forward, so I left a letter to lure you here!"
