Master Hongye wandered the south of the Yangtze River and lived in no fixed place, and even those who were most familiar with him did not know his whereabouts.

But it was clear that Thousand-Faced Lang-kun knew where he was. Otherwise he wouldn't have walked so firmly, so quickly.

Xiao Su and the others traced the traces of the thousand-faced Langjun all the way, trying to keep up with the former's pace, but this person was too smart and cautious, and every time he reached a fork in the road, he set up a suspicious formation and divided the horseshoe print into two. often waited until the two chased them far away before they realized that they had been misled.

Fortunately, Su Xixue is also very witty, and after a few times, he will no longer be fooled, and his steps forward will become more and more determined, if there is only Xiao Yan alone, I am afraid that his brain has already deviated to the other end of the map.

The two chased for a few days, and they were almost in Jiangzhou, and saw that there was an unremarkable town in front of them, so they decided to replenish some dry food and drinking water here, and if they were lucky, they might be able to buy two horses to change their foot strength.

Xiao Yan has not been idle these days, and whenever he has the opportunity, he asks the well-informed Su Xixue about the current situation in the rivers and lakes, Su Xixue also has a good impression of this young man, such a trivial matter, naturally he knows everything and says everything, which benefits Xiao Yan a lot.

The town looked a little dilapidated, the people were not very prosperous, and the two of them were leading their horses to look for shops on the street, when suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves behind them.

"Shaoxia, it's a member of the Western Regions Holy Sect!" Su Xixue couldn't help but be shocked when she saw that the team was full of strangers dressed as lamas.

"What should I do then?" Xiao Yan was a little nervous, quietly rolled up his sleeves, and was ready to do a big job at any time.

"Don't panic, you and I are dressed normally, they shouldn't recognize me......" Su Xixue looked around, saw that there was a fortune-telling stall next to her, and hurriedly pulled Xiao Yan to sit down there.

"Two sons, who wants to calculate a hexagram?" The stall keeper was an old blind man with cloudy eyes and a wrinkled face, but he seemed to have very keen hearing.

Su Xixue has never believed in things such as divination, and now she is just to avoid the limelight for a while, so she doesn't pay attention to the old man. Xiao Yan was afraid of revealing some eye-catching flaws, so he said: "It's me who counts." ”

The old blind man nodded, skillfully grabbed the two copper plates on the table in front of him, shook them in his hand, and then sprinkled them on the table with a loud noise. He stretched out his hand and touched it carefully, then smacked his lips and said: "Yin and Yang are not divided, chaos is difficult to distinguish, hexagrams are not hexagrams, hexagrams are not hexagrams......"

Xiao Yan blinked and looked at the two copper plates, only to see some strange marks dyed with red dye on the copper plates, but he really couldn't figure out what they meant.

"Can I borrow Childe's left hand?"

Xiao Yan didn't hesitate, and stretched out his left hand. The old blind man carefully took the hand of the person who came to him, and carefully groped it along the palm prints.

At this time, the team had already walked away, but Su Xixue was also out of curiosity, so she did not interrupt the movements of the two.

"The fate of this son, the old man has been practicing hexagrams for many years, and it is the first time I have seen ......" The old blind man stopped what he was doing and said.

"Is it a great wealth or a disaster of blood and light?" Xiao Yan withdrew his palm and smiled.

The corners of the old blind man's eyes moved, and he finally said slowly: "...... Childe, I'm afraid time is running out. ”

Su Xixue on the side was already a little impatient, and when she heard this, she was even more annoyed: "You person, we have no grievances with you, how can we curse for no reason?

Xiao Yan looked back at Su Xixue, and then at the old blind man, who also turned his head sideways to him, looking a little lonely and helpless.

"Then old man, you say, how many years do I have to live?"

The old blind man seemed a little happy when he saw Xiao Yan willing to ask, so he seriously pinched his fingers and calculated, and then said, "One year at most." ”

"Is there a way out?"

The old blind man showed an embarrassed expression, shook his head and sighed: "There are times in life when you have to have it, there is no time in life to ask for it, the sky is not revealed, please respect yourself, son." ”

Xiao Yan nodded, hugged his fists at the old blind man and said, "The younger generation has been taught." After that, he left a few taels of silver and rode away with Su Xixue.

Out of the town, the wind suddenly rose on the road, which was a very pleasant thing in this hot summer day. Su Xixue closed her eyes, enjoying the coolness, and suddenly heard Xiao Yan's cough on the side: "Is Shaoxia unwell?"

Xiao Yan covered his mouth and coughed vigorously, then clenched his fists and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just a little bumpy, and the saliva is choking." ”

Su Xixue nodded, no longer asked, and took the lead in galloping forward.

Xiao Yan looked at Su Xixue's back, and then slowly spread his hand and looked at it with a complicated expression.

In the center of the palm, there was a touch of crimson blood.

......

Presumably, the group of lamas received the news, so they were in such a hurry. The hoof prints are messy, but surprisingly consistent, this is undoubtedly the best guide for Xiao Su and the two at present. With the guidance of this team, Xiao Yan and Su Xixue both sped up and galloped all the way east.

The two passed by Jiangzhou City, but because the horseshoe prints did not extend here, they did not plan to go in.

At this time, a carriage passed in front of the two, and the two tightened the reins, waiting for the carriage to pass first, but found that the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the two people sitting inside were the young couple who had taken in Xiao Su and the others before:

"Isn't it Xiao Shaoxia and Su Nuxia?"

The husband said hello in surprise.

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled enthusiastically: "It turned out to be the eldest brother and sister-in-law, how could you see the two here?"

"Alas, don't mention it," the husband sighed, "There was a fire in Yuezhou City, burning down nearly half of the houses, and the houses were gone, so I had to take my inner family to flee to her mother's family in Jiangzhou......"

After a few pleasantries, the four said goodbye and parted ways.

Su Xixue watched the carriage enter Jiangzhou City, and sighed lightly: "I didn't expect that this Yuezhou City would make such a big mess because of this matter, and it was because of the suffering of ordinary people like Brother Chen's family, and they were implicated for no reason......

Xiao Yan walked slowly, and when he was nodding yes, his expression suddenly changed, and his expression was very ugly and interrupted Su Xixue's words: "Wait a while, Miss Su, what did you just say, what is the name of that big brother?"

Su Xixue didn't notice the abnormality of Xiao Yan's expression, but he didn't have an impression, so he smiled: "It's normal for Shaoxia not to know, in those days, you only cared about collecting intelligence outside, so naturally you didn't have time to chat with Brother Chen and his wife, Brother Chen, he was originally from a small county town, and later came to Yuezhou in order to make a living......"

Chen Ah San...... Is it really him......

Xiao Yan had tried countless times to find the enemy of the bloody case for his master, but who would have thought that he would be rescued by the enemy by coincidence, and he lived in his house for more than a month, and greeted him with a smile countless times......

Is this fate, or is it providence?

What should I do? It's too late to catch up and kill him with a single sword...... Xiao Yan asked himself softly in his heart, the reins in his hand couldn't help but clench, and the horse gradually stopped.

"Xiao Shaoxia, what's wrong?" Su Xixue couldn't help but wonder when she saw Xiao Yan stop in place with a gloomy face.

Xiao Yan hung his head, did not answer, and was silent for a long time.

He remembered Chen's wife holding her belly, which was several months pregnant, and remembered the affectionate and sweet smile when the two looked at each other......

He was already alone, how could he bear to let an unborn baby lose his father?

The rivers and lakes are so big, there are so many grievances and grievances every day, if you chase them down one by one, go to revenge, pay off blood debts, and preside over the so-called justice, resentment and resentment, hatred and hatred, then how many people will be left in this world at that time?

Besides, perhaps Chen Asan never thought of killing his master and brother. As an ignorant teenager, he accepted money from the Huang family, but he just deliberately played fake boxing on stage.

When he saw his closest people lying in a pool of blood one by one, he was also very frightened and regretful, right?

So he knew that he had no shame to face Mo Wen's family, so he left Ping'an County overnight and found a place to start anew.

Xiao Yan suddenly remembered the day he and Mo Wen argued, Master's eyes.

He didn't understand it before, he just thought it was pure anger and madness, but now that he thinks about it, in fact, the master has already let go, right?

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at the gate of Jiangzhou City, and the carriage was gone. But he seemed to see a man who was smiling at him from a distance.

Kind, relieved eyes.

"Could it be that Shaoxia knew him before?" Su Xixue paused and guessed.

It may be hard to pick up something, but it's even harder to put it down.

Xiao Yan had already understood Mo Wen's eyes at this time, and why Mo Wen didn't "fight" again.

The truth will no longer be elaborated, and those who understand it will naturally understand.

A sin that is not known is not a sin.

Unintentional mistakes, not exaggerations.

Xiao Yan slowly raised his head, his eyes were full of calm, he nodded, shook his head again, opened his mouth, and lightly spit out two words:

"That's it. ”

The two of them did not stop any longer, and rode forward.

On the rest of the journey, Xiao Su and the others had a somewhat comfortable time, they should eat, they should sleep, and their bodies and spirits were fully rested. After all, it is not difficult to inquire about the whereabouts of a group of swaggering lamas.

Su Xixue found a sword and iron shop and chose a more convenient thin sword, although Xiao Yan was embarrassed to shirk it in every possible way, she still funded Xiao Yan to play a pair of iron four fingers, Xiao Yan put it on his hand, which was very suitable.

After walking for more than ten days, Xiao Su and the others asked the old man who was collecting firewood to find out where to go, and finally determined that the group of lamas had stopped at the house of a large family at Pengli Lake.

"Hey, my old man has lived for more than 60 years, and it is the first time I have seen such a big battle, and many fierce people who I don't recognize, old and young, have been rushing to that place for the past few days......!

The two thanked the old man, tied their horses, and crept their way there.

At this time, it was evening, and the cicadas and frogs were all around, and the mosquitoes that avoided the heat were active at this time, "buzzing" around the two. Xiao Yan naturally had never experienced the feeling of being bitten by mosquitoes, but he couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw that Su Xixue was also so calm and calm.

"This is a sachet left by my mother, there are two of them, which can not only refresh the mind, but also ward off mosquitoes. Su Xixue took out a very delicate gadget from her chest and explained.

Smelling the very comfortable scent of orchids, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile enviously.

Sure enough, as the old man said, there are people around the mansion who are closely guarded, and there are a few secret whistles on the branches, but looking at the costumes and makeup, it is obvious that they are not all the way.

It seems that in addition to the Yellow Dragon Gang and the people of the Western Regions Holy Sect, many people have also rushed here.

Xiao Yan and Su Xixue hid behind the bushes in the heights, observing every move inside and outside the mansion.

"It's not surprising that they didn't fight. Xiao Yan was both a little curious and a little scared of these people.

"It's not going to be fought now, and when the 'Dragon Scale Duel' is born, it's not necessarily. Su Xixue looked at the smoke that kept drifting out of the center of the mansion, and said in her heart, it seems that it has begun.

But at present, the surrounding area is tightly guarded, and it is difficult to enter, and if you force your way in, you will inevitably startle the snake. Besides, at this time, I don't know how many masters have been mixed in here, with the cultivation of Xiao Su and the others, if they are attacked by them, it is tantamount to asking for a dead end.

While the two of them were thinking about a solution, they suddenly saw two lamas walking out of the side door of the mansion and going straight into the forest on the side, as if they were about to relieve themselves.

Xiao Su and the two glanced at each other, and they all touched the woods.

The light in the forest was even darker, and there were no strangers, and the two lamas were muttering and talking to each other while untying their hands with their bare cheeks. But it's a pity that no one can understand this Western Regions language, Xiao Su and the others, otherwise they will definitely be able to eavesdrop on important information.

Su Xixue just wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Xiao Yan and motioned for her to wait for a while.

When the two lamas released the water halfway, Xiao Yan burst out, like a cheetah lurking in the shadows, and pounced on one of them.

The fist with four iron fingers struck the lama unceremoniously on the back of the head, and the place where he was hit immediately sank a piece, and the lama's eyes went black, and he immediately fell straight forward.

The other lama was shocked, turned to face Xiao Yan and prepared to parry, how could the guy below release the water at this time was having fun, and there was a female bodhisattva standing there not far away, and for a while he didn't know whether to do it first or cover the little guy below.

Xiao Yan dodged the water column of urine, seized the opportunity, and struck a beautiful hook to the man's jaw, and the lama wailed, flew upside down on his back, and fainted with his companions.

"Quick, rip off their clothes. ”

Su Xixue stepped forward, and at a glance, she saw the naked straight "thing" of the lama who fell on her back, and her face immediately turned red with shame.

But Xiao Yan was a straight man, so he picked up the clothes of the lama closest to him, and didn't notice Su Xixue's strange appearance at all.

At the moment, the business is important, and I can't take care of so much. Su Xixue took a deep breath, forced herself not to think about those things, and stepped forward and began to pick up her clothes.

The lama seemed to have a sense in the coma, his lower abdomen contracted, and the "thing" suddenly jumped, scaring Su Xixue so much that she almost screamed.

Finally changing their clothes, the two hurriedly dragged the unconscious lamas to the long grass aside.

After doing all this, Xiao Yan took a long breath, and then noticed Su Xixue with a strange pink on her cheeks and biting her lower lip: "Miss Su, what's wrong with you?"
