"This is not, fighting on such a steep mountain, you can fall down the mountain and fall to pieces if you are not careful, so I said that the rich man Murong is simply very sinister!" said Daochang Li, with anger in his eyes.

"But in such a sinister environment, there should be a lot of people who know the difficulties and retreat, and don't dare to participate easily, right?"

"Man eats the death bird for the food to die! There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, not to mention, doesn't he also set the top ten? Even if he doesn't grab the hydrangea, as long as he can enter the top ten, he can get a hundred taels of gold. Brother Yin, you are all people with rich families, so you don't have to worry about money, but more people in the rivers and lakes are living a money-making life licking blood, how can they not fight for it?"

Yin Tiancheng nodded and said: "Then in the case of so many people in a scuffle, what is the basis for the top ten? Moreover, since the person who finally sends the hydrangea to the hands of Miss Murong at the bottom of the mountain is considered to be the winner, then who is willing to go to the peak to get the hydrangea? After all, you can wait for work, and it is not much easier to wait for others to take down the mountain and then fight for it." Didn't the one who went to get the hydrangea first make a wedding dress for someone else?"

"Hey, then the rich man Murong has a thorough plan, so naturally there are rules to rely on. Daochang Li refilled his and Yin Tiancheng's teacups with hot water before he continued:

"This rich Murong not only hung hydrangeas on the top of the peak, but also set up a signature book, and he had to write his name on the signature book to be regarded as a person who entered the finals. If there is no name on the signature book, even if you finally get the hydrangea, you will be disqualified. The top 10 people in the signature book are determined to be the top 10. ”

Yin Tiancheng frowned and said, "So that's the case...... In this way, even if you want to compete for the top ten, you have to fight for the top. With so many people fighting and fighting on it, there must be a lot of casualties, this Murong rich man is indeed not a good person!"

......

The two chatted over tea, and soon it was time for lunch, but they didn't see Miao Xiaohuan come back. Yin Tiancheng thought, maybe there are not many people in Tianfeng Pavilion here, and they haven't been able to get in touch, but a few people have lunch, and until the sun sets in the west, Miao Xiaohuan still hasn't come back, so he can't help but be a little worried.

So Yin Tiancheng asked Daochang Li to take care of Qianxun, and he planned to go out to find it.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Miao Xiaohuan and Chu Peiyao chatting and walking towards the inn.

Chu Peiyao saw Chu Tiancheng by the door from a distance, pulled Miao Xiaohuan to speed up her pace, and said happily: "Brother Yin, we meet again!"

Yin Tiancheng smiled and said, "Why did Miss Chu and the third sister get together?"

Miao Xiaohuan said: "This is really a coincidence! I just contacted Tianfeng Pavilion in the morning, and I was about to go back to the inn, but I met Aunt Chu coming back with Pei Yao's sister Shangxiang, no, I went to their house again for lunch." ”

It turned out that Chu Peiyao's father was working in the capital, and only his mother was at home, since Chu's mother received her son's letter, she knew that her daughter might have been held hostage, so she couldn't sleep and eat day and night, but she didn't expect her daughter to come back unexpectedly and safely yesterday, and the joy in her heart was self-evident, so she took Chu Peiyao to the Taoist temple early this morning to thank God.

When she came back, she met Miao Xiaohuan on the street, and Chu Peiyao learned that she was Yin Tiancheng's sister, so she said that she was invited to the house to eat, but Miao Xiaohuan couldn't push her, so she went with her. After the meal, Chu Peiyao told her mother that she wanted to go out for a walk with Miao Xiaohuan, and Mrs. Chu spoiled her tightly, so she agreed.

Yin Tiancheng looked at Miao Xiaohuan and said with a smile: "Since you are safe and sound, then you girls can talk slowly, and I will go back to the room first." ”

"Eh, what are you doing when the second brother goes back to the room? Why don't you call the Taoist chief and Qianxun to drink tea in the hall together, everyone can be lively for a while." Miao Xiaohuan hurriedly stopped him.

"That's right, Brother Yin, I heard Sister Xiao Huan say that that Dao is very magical, I also want to get to know him!" Chu Peiyao also smiled.

Yin Tiancheng smiled apologetically and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to spoil Miss Chu's interest, third sister, take Miss Chu to see the Taoist, I've been playing chess with him for most of the day, and now I just want to stay by myself for a while." ”

Yin Tiancheng politely refused, and walked upstairs after speaking.

Chu Peiyao's smile froze on her face, Miao Xiaohuan saw some clues, and hurriedly took her hand and smiled: "Second brother may be tired, let's ignore him." Let's go, let's go to my room to drink tea and eat snacks! Don't look at this small shop, but the craftsmanship of the proprietress is very good, and the snacks made are really delicious. ”

Chu Peiyao had no choice but to go to the room with her.

Chu Peiyao sat by the window, silently tilting her head to look out of the window, and didn't say much except for an occasional sip of tea. Miao Xiaohuan chatted with her without a match, and she was also absent-minded.

After a while, Miao Xiaohuan also lifted her cheeks and stopped talking. Although she is a person who loves to talk and laugh, she can't stand Chu Peiyao's ignorant look. But what should I do? Although they were not happy, they didn't say they wanted to leave, this is Master's niece, so they can't ask others to go back.

"Can you really just give up just like that?" Chu Peiyao was immersed in her thoughts at the moment, and asked herself silently.

She felt that there was no way out, no matter how active and enthusiastic she was, she couldn't change anything.

But recalling that night when he met Yin Tiancheng again in the inn, his excited and inexplicable mood, he smiled so inadvertently, every time his eyes stayed on him for a short time, she could be fascinated, but now she can't let go.

...... Before I knew it, the light outside the window had dimmed, not only because the sun was setting in the west, but also because the sky was full of heavy dark clouds. Then, the wind rose, and the sound of thunder was faintly heard in the distance.

"It's going to rain!" Miao Xiaohuan said.

Chu Peiyao put away her thoughts and came back to her senses, "Yes!

"I'll send you!" Miao Xiaohuan said and found an umbrella and took Chu Peiyao out of the door.

......

"It's thundering again, and this year it's a New Year's thunder. Li Daochang looked at the sudden rise of wind and clouds outside the window, frowned and said to himself: "The world is not peaceful, and the climate is rarely smooth...... However, this situation seems a little strange......"

As he spoke, he hurriedly closed the window and walked out of the door, and happened to meet Yin Tiancheng at the door.

"Is the Dao Leader going out?" Yin Tiancheng said in surprise.

"yes, I want to go out and have a look. “

"But it's going to rain, what does the Taoist want to see?"

"I feel like there's a demonic aura hidden somewhere...... Brother Yin will stay at the inn, and I'll go. After speaking, Daochang Li left in a hurry.

At the same time, Qian Xun in the room was also standing by the window, although the immortal vein had not been repaired yet, but she also found the demonic qi through the observation of her complexion, but she couldn't do anything.

Miao Xiaohuan and Chu Peiyao hurried to Chu's house, and all the pedestrians were in a hurry to drill into the house, and after a while, there were few people on the street. The second daughter quickened her pace, but just when the gate of the Chu family was close in front of her, Chu Peiyao somehow suddenly turned into a street on the slope.

"Eh!" Miao Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment, and shouted, "Sister Pei Yao, where are you going?" hurriedly rushed up to hold her.

But at this time, Chu Peiyao turned her face, glared at her angrily, and said viciously: "What's the matter with you! Get out!" shook off her hand and quickly ran forward.

Miao Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment, and when she reacted, she couldn't help but feel angry: "Heh!" and said with a smile: "What kind of anger is this to me? If you want to run, you can run, I don't bother to pay attention to you!"

She was born in a rich and noble family, she was born with a beautiful life and good martial arts, and her heart was originally high, how could she stand others making a mistake to her for no reason, so she simply stood there and let Chu Peiyao run forward, until she saw her figure getting farther and farther away, and then she became anxious again, afraid that she would be sorry for the deceased master if something happened.

"Hey!" Miao Xiaohuan stomped her feet and shouted loudly in a hurry: "Sister Pei Yao, stop quickly!"

Miao Xiaohuan used light skills to chase Chu Peiyao, and saw that she was about to catch up, but somehow, Chu Peiyao's figure suddenly became faster, and she continued to chase for more than a mile, but did not shrink the distance.

Miao Xiaohuan was surprised in her heart, and then a thought came to her, and she couldn't help but "chuckle" in her heart: "Oops! Is there a monster!"

Miao Xiaohuan was originally very bold, but that was before she didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and now that she knows more and more, the more afraid she becomes. She stopped at the moment, watching Chu Peiyao's figure go farther and farther away like an illusion, the hairs on her back stood upside down, and she only gently patted her chest to give herself courage:

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! As Daochang Li said, demons are actually not terrible. Ordinary demon mana can only cause some illusions to confuse others, and it is also fleshy, and it can be whipped into a blur of flesh and blood...... But what if it's a demon with high mana?"

Miao Xiaohuan couldn't help but have a bitter face, and no longer dared to take a step forward.

only stayed for a while, but there was no trace of Chu Peiyao.

"I have to go back and tell Daochang Li quickly!" Miao Xiaohuan knew that there must be a demon behind this matter, and it was beyond the scope of what he could handle.

As soon as she turned around, she happened to see Li Daochang hurriedly walking over.

"Dao Chief, you came just in time, Sister Pei Yao has an accident!" Miao Xiaohuan hurriedly rushed up and said to Li Daochang.

"Okay, I know! Miss Miao come with me!" said Daochang Li as he took the lead and ran forward quickly.

"Okay!" Miao Xiaohuan responded and immediately followed, but after running a few steps, his heart suddenly sank.

"No, why did the Taoist suddenly call me 'Miss Miao' again? He always calls me 'girl' now!" Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a "bang" in my heart.

Since Miao Xiaohuan encountered Nangong Yue's incident, her vigilance has increased exponentially.

"What's wrong with you?" Daochang Li turned around and asked when he saw that she was standing still.

"Daochang Li, why didn't my eldest brother come with you?" Miao Xiaohuan asked.

"Oh...... He has something, we don't have to worry so much about it now, it's important to chase her back first, let's leave quickly!"

Miao Xiaohuan had already confirmed that the other party was not Daochang Li at this time, and there was no doubt about it. His heart was "fluttering" and jumping nervously: "What kind of monster is this? If he doesn't shoot at me directly, he may not be able to beat me, he must have cast some kind of psychedelic method." ”

Miao Xiaohuan has been with Li Daochang for a long time, and often listens to him talk about some demon magic and evil arts, and also knows some common demon arts.

Seeing "Daochang Li" urging, he immediately responded pretendedly: "Okay, let's go quickly!" said without moving, untied the long whip on his waist, and suddenly whipped at him.
