"Hiding and hiding is not the solution. Xuanyang's tone was indifferent, and Li Laosi, who was afraid of crime and absconded, appeared in front of him in an instant, and even Li Laosi himself didn't know how he came to that person.

Xuanyang said: "Your name is Li Laosi, right?" Li Laosi nodded and said, "What the benefactor said is true." Xuanyang said: "I appreciate you very much." Li Laosi looked around and found that there was no one around, so he pointed to himself uncertainly, "Me?" Xuanyang said: "I appreciate your decisiveness and ruthlessness." ”

Xuanyang smiled: "I lack a porter by my side." ”

"Okay, as long as the benefactor survives the death calamity for me, I, Li Laosi, will be sent by the benefactor. This Li Laosi is also a clever person, and he said the current situation he is in.

Xuanyang stroked his beard and smiled, and took Li Laosi to a courtyard. Looking at this familiar scene, Li Laosi bowed deeply: "There are Lau En people!"

Looking at Xuanyang's distant back, Li Laosi didn't know what it was like in his heart, or worried, nervous, or worried, and even a little expectant. It didn't take long for Xuanyang to walk out of the house, holding what he wanted to see.

"Something has been brought. ”

Li Laosi breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you benefactor!" Li Laosi took the head handed over by Xuanyang and bowed down.

"Li Laosi, you can't die well!" The head in Li Laosi's hand suddenly opened his eyes, and he heard everything Li Laosi said just now.

"Master Qian, you did die in my hands, you are now just a lost dog, I have a head in my hand, what qualifications do you have to shout at me here!" Li Laosi beat Master Qian's eyes wildly, and his eyeballs were all blown out by him, and the flesh and blood were blurry and disgusting. Master Qian himself only has one head left, and I don't know what method Xuanyang used to make his head live until now, he only has one head left, and now he has been beaten and can't see anything.

"Enough. Xuanyang impatiently waved his wide sleeved robe, and Master Qian's head died instantly, "The anger is also out, and it is time for you to fulfill your promise." ”

"I've seen the master, I wish the old man a long life!" Li Laosi bowed deeply.

"That's very good. Xuanyang nodded, "From now on, you will be called Li Yuzi." ”

"Thank you for the name!" Li Yuzi "poofed", and bowed again, with a new name, Li Yuzi was very happy, from now on, there will be no such person as Li Laosi, only Li Yuzi.

Li Yuzi followed Xuanyang's side, Xuanyang intentionally or unintentionally walked into some remote and uninhabited areas, and the two of them walked in the Silver Wind Empire for more than ten years. In the past ten years, Li Yuzi's temperament has also calmed down, his edge is restrained, and he is thunderous when he strikes out.

On this day, Xuanyang stopped at a rural town on the edge of willows, with a gurgling river and rich in poetic and ancient meaning.

Xuanyang pointed to this town, "Li Yuzi, what do you think of this town?"

Li Yuzi looked around, "People get along harmoniously, their careers are thriving, and they are prosperous." ”

Xuanyang shook his head and smiled, and entered an inn to check in. Xuanyang only opened one room, so Li Yuzi naturally squeezed into one room with him.

Xuanyang came to a table and lifted the red pen: "Polishing ink." ”

Li Yuzi was skillful, and it didn't take long for him to grind out ink on the inkstone, and he didn't think much about it, thinking that it was the rise of the master's poetry, and he wanted to write poetry again.

Xuanyang spread out a scroll that Li Yuzi had already prepared, lifted the red pen, dotted some ink, and lightly drew a stroke on the scroll, followed by a hook and a stroke, and with a few strokes, his pen produced a stunning work. This painting is an ink portrait, he painted himself, the characters in the painting look like a brush, the expression is similar, at a glance you feel a little smart, as if it is alive, can be called a ghostly workmanship.

Li Yuzi clapped his hands and praised: "The master's painting skills are already furnace fire, which can be called a divine skill!"

Xuanyang smiled, and hung the painting on the wall facing the door: "Just draw casually, don't take it seriously." ”

At midnight, the moon hung high on the black wind curtain, dotted with stars in the sky, and silver frost sprinkled all over the clouds and land of Jiuzhou.

Li Yuzi woke up from his sleep, but he was awakened by urine. The discomfort was resolved in the night pot in the room, and he went back to his bed to rest. It's quiet outside, but Li Yuzi can't sleep at all, it's because it's too quiet.

Li Yuzi came to Xuanyang's bed and called softly: "Master, have you slept?"

Xuanyang slept soundly here and didn't respond. Just as Li Yuzi was about to walk out of the door, Xuanyang stopped him, "Li Yuzi, it's late at night, don't go back to sleep yet, be a night cat." ”

Li Yuzi explained: "Master, I can't sleep, I want to go out for a walk." ”

"Li Yuzi, the cold wind is blowing at night, you are so boring, then I will accompany you to play chess. Xuanyang got up, sat down on a chair placed in the room, took out a chessboard, and pointed to the chair opposite him and motioned for him to sit down.

Li Yuzi accompanied Xuanyang to play chess like this, and at the end, he was already a little irritable.

At this time, the situation of Li Yuzi on the chessboard is not optimistic, Xuanyang's chess pieces have surrounded his chess layer by layer, and there is no power to return to the sky. Xuanyang dropped his finger and ended this chess game, "One wrong step, there is no way out." ”

Xuanyang said lightly: "Li Yuzi, you are a little impetuous. ”

"Thank you for mentioning it!" Li Yuzi suddenly woke up and knelt on the ground and bowed.

Xuanyang said: "You know why I have repeatedly blocked your way. ”

Li Yuzi shook his head: "Li Yuzi doesn't know, please solve your doubts!"

Xuanyang said: "It's surprisingly quiet outside, don't you think it's strange, even in the past, even at this time in the past, there were still people on the street who came to make noise." ”

"This..."Li Yuzi fell into deep thought.

Xuanyang opened a gap from the window, put his hand on Li Yuzi's shoulder, and looked through the gap in the window, the prosperous scene on the street suddenly became tattered, overgrown with weeds, and it was difficult to see the way. Moving up his gaze, the originally solemn and gorgeous three-story pavilion on the opposite side had been corrupted and collapsed, and the red silk that was originally hanging on the door seemed to have changed as if it had changed someone, and the broken white silk fluttered with the breeze, and Li Yuzi's back couldn't help but stand on end.

Xuanyang said: "What, are you afraid?"

Li Yuzi asked, "How can this be?"

"Actually, when we came here in the morning, I already knew about it. The shopkeeper and the people who came to him were obviously a little lacking in energy, and the things in his store could only grow in a cold place, and a normal inn would not do anything to damage its own wealth. What's more, every house here seems to be lively but deserted, and the streets are lively while these people live in a deserted place, which feels wrong no matter how you look at it. These are some of the questions that are worth pondering. This is mainly because it smells!" Xuanyang smiled, "Hehe, the smell of death." ”

Li Yuzi suddenly remembered why the old man said that sentence that made him puzzled in the morning, just now, he also said some similar words, but now it seems that he is shallow, "After the old man said, Li Yuzi was stupid, thank the old man for teaching." Li Yuzi made a student salute.

Xuanyang stroked his long beard and nodded, very satisfied with Li Yuzi's attitude.
