"Why can't you find it when you look through it? Where did Old Man Pan hide his things?"

In the room with thick smoke and surging heat, a black-clothed masked man half-knelt beside the bed, turning Pan Chuba's luggage and baggage into a mess, as if he was in a hurry to find something.

"Thief, look at the knife!"

Suddenly, Xu Heng came out of the sea of fire, his face was gloomy, his eyes were fierce, and he didn't hesitate for half a minute after seeing the man in black, he slashed with a knife, and took the head of the man in black.

"Whew!"

The blade flickered, swift as the wind. But the man in black seemed to have a pair of eyes behind his back, and at the moment when the blade was about to slash him, his body suddenly jumped to the right. At the same time, the man in black drew his knife out of its sheath, and without waiting for his body to stop, he had already taken out a knife with his backhand, directly attacking Xu Heng's door.

Xu Heng was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his knife to resist, accompanied by a series of dense crashes like torrential rain, the man in black was as fast as lightning, sinking like Mount Tai, the offensive was swift and fierce, and in just a dozen rounds, Xu Heng was defeated.

Xu Heng's moves, under the aggressive force of the man in black, couldn't help but be messy and messy. What's more, in just three or five rounds, Xu Heng was in danger several times in a row.

The more Xu Heng fought, the more frightened he became, but the man in black was calm, his shots were fast and steady, his moves were treacherous and changeable, and a set of offensive forces forced Xu Heng to be embarrassed. On the other hand, the man in black is calm and relaxed, like a cat and mouse, which is quite a bit of a joke.

The martial arts of the two are judged from above.

"Brother Xu, we're here!"

Tang Cong greeted and took the lead in rushing into the battle, followed by Liao Chuan and Liao Hai. In an instant, the three of them had joined forces with Xu Heng and fought with the man in black in the raging sea of fire.

Although one enemy is four, the man in black is still orderly and orderly in chaos. Sometimes slashing left and right, sometimes blocking up and down to dodge, under the siege of Xu Heng's four people, he actually dodged and moved, and he was at ease.

With a long knife, the man in black fought against Xu Heng and the four of them for fifty rounds, not only did he not weaken at all, but also faintly pressed them down.

"I don't have time to play with you today, I'll fight another day!"

With a joking, the man in black turned his blade, and instantly swept out a fierce and domineering energy, shaking Xu Heng and the four of them back. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the figure in black flickered, burrowed into the sea of fire, and disappeared into Pan Chuba's room in a blink of an eye.

"The thief is running away!"

Xu Heng shouted violently and took the lead in chasing out. Tang Cong, Liao Chuan, and Liao Hai were murderous, and they were also unrelenting.

At this moment, on the north side of the backyard of Guanyin Temple, a series of three or four side rooms are all on fire. The sea of fire is vast, the heat wave is sweeping, and the smoke is billowing out, covering the sky and the moon. This sudden fire turned half of the night sky on Shaomu Mountain extremely red.

Wu Chan, who was full of anxiety, helped Pan Yun, He Hu and others to pour water to fight the fire together. But they have no choice but to drop the bucket, and in the face of the intensifying fire, they can only sigh.

"Little Master Wuzen, stop that person!"

Suddenly, Xu Heng's voice came out of the sea of fire, and before Wu Chan could answer, he saw a man in black holding a long knife, quickly emerging from the thick smoke. Because of its ferocity, Pan Yun and He Hu subconsciously retreated to Pan Chuba, Pan Yuyin and Pan Feng, and protected them cautiously, but did not take the initiative to attack the man in black.

Seeing this, the man in black did not stop, and rushed towards another wing room on the east side.

Wu Chan's expression was straight, and he flashed in front of the man in black, stopped him one step ahead of him, and asked puzzledly, "Who is the donor? Could it be that you set this fire?"

"Little monk, don't get in the way!"

The man in black muttered impatiently, and then swung his knife straight to the Heavenly Spirit Gai of Wuzen. Wu Chan was in danger, and at the moment when the blade fell, his body flashed. Suddenly, the sharp long knife clung to his monk's robe, whistling down like a gust of wind.

The man in black never expected that the little monk in front of him, who was not amazing, would be able to dodge his attack. Deng Shi was stunned for a moment, then formed a palm with his left hand, and quickly slapped it towards Wu Zen's temple.

Wu Chan silently recited "Amitabha" in his mouth, and then turned his palm over and met the palm of the man in black.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, the palms collided with each other, and the two strong forces faced each other, not avoiding each other.

Wu Chan's lines moved slightly, but the man in black was shocked back by Wu Chan's palm for half a meter, and his feet rubbed a trace on the ground.

"Shhh

The man in black gasped and laughed at himself quite bitterly: "It seems that the rumors of the rivers and lakes are not all false, there is indeed a dragon and a crouching tiger in the Shaolin Temple, and even a little monk who fetches water is so powerful, admire!

Seeing this, Wu Chan was stunned for a moment, hurriedly accepted the invitation and retreated, and at the same time folded his hands together, and returned the salute to the man in black quite politely, saying: "The donor has a good reputation......

But what Wu Chanwan didn't expect was that at the moment when he returned the salute, the "serious" man in black suddenly turned around and fled in a puff of smoke.

"This trick works? It seems that the rumors in the rivers and lakes are really true, although there are many masters in the Shaolin Temple, but most of them knock on the wooden fish and knock the stupid, and they will be fooled if they are deceived. Haha......"

With a burst of joking laughter, the man in black who turned around and fled, but unfortunately bumped into Xu Heng and the four people who had just been killed from the sea of fire.

When the "enemies" saw each other, they were very red-eyed. The two sides had nothing else to say, and in an instant, they exchanged hand-to-hand battles, and after a dazzling battle, the man in black suddenly broke through the encirclement and re-entered the sea of fire.

When Xu Heng and the others wanted to chase and kill, the tongue of flames several feet high suddenly gushed out, forcing their footsteps to stop outside the heat wave.

"Has anyone been hurt?"

said that it was too late, Liu Xunyi suddenly turned down from mid-air, swung his sword and swept away, and several sword qi suddenly turned into a crescent moon wind, quickly extinguishing the fire that wanted to spread and raging in the front yard.

"Door Master!"

Seeing Liu Xunyi, Xu Heng and the others were all overjoyed. Liao Chuan stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction where the man in black fled, and said urgently: "The thief who set fire to the fire just fled towards the back mountain......

"You don't have to chase anymore!" Liu Xunyi tapped his toes on the ground, his figure suddenly rose, and flew in the direction that Liao Chuan pointed. At the same time, he hurriedly instructed, "That man will be handed over to me! You must quickly put out the fire, and do not let the fire spread to the mountains and forests!"

Before the words fell, Liu Xunyi had disappeared into the firelight.

Behind the temple is a vast and dense mountain forest. This is the southwest valley of Mt. Shaomuro, and the mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, and if a person gets into it, it is tantamount to a needle falling into the sea and sand into the desert hills.

The man in black fled into the dense forest at night, boasting that the tiger had returned to the mountains and dived into the sea. It's a pity that although his wishful thinking is good, he underestimated Liu Xunyi's ability. If you talk about "tracking and looking for shadows", even if ten people in black are tied together, they can't beat one Liu Xunyi. After all, he had studied all kinds of strange techniques in the Tianji Pavilion for more than ten years, and one of the most useful skills was to follow the trail to hunt.

In the dark and dense mountain forest, the man in black was in front and Liu Xunyi was behind, and this chase was more than 30 miles.

Chasing to a glade, Liu Xunyi accelerated suddenly, his figure rose into the sky, his feet connected a few times between the trees, and instantly jumped over the head of the man in black, and while he turned over and fell, the sword in his hand also stabbed at the man in black mercilessly.

The man in black was annoyed and frightened, and hurriedly took out his sword to resist, and the blades were handed over, and the sword was light and sword. In an instant, the two were already fighting in the forest.

Liu Xunyi's martial arts are far from being comparable to Xu Heng's generation, so it is difficult for the man in black to force him back easily, and it is even more difficult to wait for an opportunity to get out. Seeing that there was no hope for his escape, the man in black could only fight hard with Liu Xunyi, and the two exchanged swords and swords, both offensive and defensive. In a short period of time, it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser, and no one can help anyone.

Liu Xunyi became more and more puzzled, and he suddenly found that this person's posture and moves were quite familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"No more!

About fifty rounds later, the man in black suddenly picked up his long knife, and without waiting for Liu Xunyi to chase after him with his sword, he suddenly waved his hand at Liu Xunyi, and complained quite dissatisfiedly: "I can't shake it off, I can't beat it, I will lose a lot if I continue to fight!"

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but feel stunned, and said suspiciously: "This voice...... Why does it sound familiar......" Suddenly, Liu Xunyi's mind flashed, and he exclaimed: "That's right, your voice, your figure, and your long knife...... You are Qin Ku!"

As soon as Liu Xunyi's words fell, the man in black had already ripped off the black scarf in front of him, revealing a fat and bloated face, and there was a look of embarrassment on his face.

This person is none other than Qin Ku.

"Is it really you?" Liu Xunyi exclaimed in disbelief, "How could you ......" At this point, Liu Xunyi turned to look at the Guanyin Courtyard where the fire was still shining in the distance, and said in astonishment, "You really set the fire?"

"Yes. Qin Ku said with a look of annoyance, "I wanted to take advantage of the chaos to steal something, but I didn't even find a fart." was besieged by your people first, and then met a little monk who was hidden in the depths, and received a slap in vain. Now you've been chasing you for dozens of miles in a row, and you've been unjustly killed!"

Liu Xunyi looked at Qin Ku, who was crying bitterly, and suddenly stopped talking. Obviously he burned down the Guanyin Courtyard first, but now he said that he was wronged? Liu Xunyi remembered that Qin Ku had rescued him at the Tianlong Inn last night, so he didn't want to be too embarrassed, and said suspiciously: "Brother Qin set fire late at night, what is it ...... What do you want to steal?"

Qin Ku looked at Liu Xunyi with complicated eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was hesitating to tell him the truth. After a while, Qin Ku sighed lightly and confessed, "I want to find the 'Xuanshui Scroll' collected by the Pan family. ”

"Xuanshui Volume?" Liu Xunyi was confused and puzzled, "How do you know that the 'Xuanshui Volume' is in the Pan family?"

"Not only do I know that it is in the Pan family, but I also know that you have come to the Shaolin Temple this time to assist the Pan family in keeping the 'Xuanshui Scroll'. Qin Ku said casually, "Tomorrow is the ten-year battle agreed by the Pan and Qin families, so Old Man Pan will definitely bring the 'Xuanshui Scroll' together......"

"So you set fire to it overnight, trying to steal the cheats while you're in chaos?" Liu Xunyi answered.

"It's not stealing! it's borrowing!" Qin Ku argued.

"What's the difference?" Liu Xunyi smiled bitterly, "It's not a secret, the 'Xuanshui Scroll' has been handed over to the Shaolin abbot for temporary safekeeping, and is now stored in the Shaolin Scripture Pavilion......"

"I ......"

"Don't worry!" Without waiting for Qin to speak, Liu Xunyi suddenly waved his hand and said, "If you want to go to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion to steal the book, I will advise Your Excellency, it is best to die of this heart as soon as possible." The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is not the Guanyin Academy, you can escape from the Guanyin Courtyard at night, but if you trespass into the Shaolin Hidden Scripture Pavilion, you will definitely die!"

Hearing this, Qin Ku was like a deflated ball, becoming sluggish, and muttered: "How can I not know this truth?" It's just that if I don't steal it today, I'm afraid that I won't have a chance to get the 'Xuanshui Scroll......' in this life."

"Why bother?" Liu Xunyi knew that Qin Ku's nature was not evil, and he couldn't help but kindly remind, "Brother Qin, in fact, even if you get the 'Xuanshui Scroll', you can't practice the peerless sword technique. If you know the 'Xuanshui Scroll', you should also know that it is only half of the "Returning to the Sea Sword Method". If you haven't practiced the Qin family's 'Red Fire Scroll' and rashly cultivated the 'Xuanshui Scroll', no matter how high your martial arts are, you won't be able to escape the bad luck of yin and yang and yin and yang imbalance. At that time, although you will be able to improve your sword skills, your lifespan will be limited. Brother Qin, there are thousands of sword techniques in the world, why do you stick to the 'Xuanshui Scroll'?

Silently listening to Liu Xunyi's kind advice, Qin Ku's eyes couldn't help but flash a meaningful color. He suddenly arched his hand and said, "You can tell me this secret, it shows that you are not a bad person." ”

"You have a life-saving grace for me, how can I see you go astray?" Liu Xunyi waved his hand and said, "You should have heard of it, the son of the Qin clan in Hexi...... Most of them will not live to be sixty years old. ”

"But...... How do you know that I haven't practiced 'Red Fire Scroll'?" Before Liu Xunyi finished speaking, Qin Ku suddenly asked with a smile.

Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously answered: "Of course you haven't practiced, because the 'Red Fire Scroll' is the secret of the Hexi Qin Clan, how can you ...... it, Brother Qin" As for this, an extremely bold thought suddenly flashed in Liu Xunyi's mind, he stared at Qin Ku with horror on his face, and muttered hesitantly, "Hexi Qin Clan...... Qin Ku ...... Qin, Qin Ku...... You are all surnamed Qin, could it be that you ......"

Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to say the bold speculation in his heart, he saw Qin Ku with a smile on his face, and nodded at him in a matter-of-fact manner.

"Yes, I am a member of the Qin clan in Hexi. ”

......
