07 Stalking

Xie Yixiang was secretly vigilant, waiting for an opportunity to check behind her, but she still couldn't find the person who was following her. In order to verify whether this Pure Yang Hall was related to the disappearance of tourists on Mount Emei, she no longer went up the mountain at that moment, but chose a remote path and went in the direction of the "Ninety-Nine Turns" on the left. But it is to avoid tourists on the main road and see if the stalkers behind them will take the opportunity to attack.

After traveling like this for about half an hour, Xie Yixiang picked a remote path, but entered a mountain forest, and became more and more deserted, and there was no trace of other tourists, but after a little notice, the stalker behind him was still relenting. Xie Yixiang didn't look back, seeing that there was a corner in the path ahead, he immediately used the grass and trees to cover up at the turn, and unfolded the "Luoxia Lonely Bird" method, quickly grabbed behind a big tree, hid himself, and waited for the person following him to appear.

But after a while, I heard the sound of footsteps on the path, and I also arrived at the bend where Xie Yixiang was hiding. You must know that this path is so deserted, there are no other tourists along the way, and the current sound of footsteps is naturally the person who has been secretly following him, and there will be no mistake in his plan. Hearing that the man had turned the corner, Xie Yixiang secretly took a deep breath, calculated the time to jump out from behind the tree, and the chaotic separation from his waist came out of the sheath, accompanied by the crimson knife light, and the chaotic blade was already on the man's neck.

Seeing that he actually succeeded in one move, Xie Yixiang was also a little surprised, and when she looked at this person carefully, he was a middle-aged man dressed in tatters, with gray hair piled up unkempt on his head, and his eyes were red and swollen, as if he hadn't slept for several days. The man saw the chaos on his neck clearly, and then he came back to his senses, and his knees weakened with fright, and he said in a trembling voice: "Woman...... The heroine spares her life, the villain ...... The villain ......" Xie Yixiang heard that he was a local accent, and did not dare to be careless, and asked sharply: "What a bold man, he dares to murder tourists on Mount Emei, and now that everyone has obtained all the stolen goods, what else do you have to quibble? This is from the truth, if you don't tell the truth again, beware that I cut off your head with a knife." ”

The man said "ouch", his weak knees could no longer support it, and he knelt on the ground on the spot, and justified in his mouth: "Villain...... The villain is just a family in the mountains, how dare he murder any tourists? Don't misunderstand, the woman must not be misunderstood, yes...... It's your dad who worries...... I'm worried that you won't be able to think about it for a while, and you want to find a short time on Mount Emei, so I gave the villain twenty yuan and asked me to come with you all the way......"

"My father?" Xie Yixiang couldn't help blurting out, and then came to his senses, since this man can be restrained by his own sword, he obviously doesn't know martial arts, and it is impossible for him to follow him all the way from Fuhu Temple at the foot of the mountain. She immediately raised the confusion in her hand, and asked, "Hugh is going to talk nonsense! Let me ask you, what is the appearance of the man who told you to follow me according to your words?

The man hurriedly replied: "The villain was originally a common person near the Pure Yang Palace, and he went down the mountain to purchase, passing by the outside of the Pure Yang Palace, but was stopped by an old gentleman and asked me to do him a favor...... "As he spoke, he took out a handful of copper coins from his arms, and continued: "That old gentleman is about fifty years old, with a square face and sword eyebrows, slightly frosty temples, and a pair of eyes as bright as stars in the sky; although he is dressed plainly, he has an indescribable sense of majesty, as if he is a god in the temple. He gave the villain the twenty cents, saying that his daughter, who is the heroine, had just quarreled with him, and then came alone to the path. The old gentleman couldn't rest assured, so he asked the villain to follow him all the way. ”

Xie Yixiang suddenly realized, it turned out that there was really someone else who was following him along the way, and the man in front of him was just a scapegoat hired by that person, and he only started to follow him from outside the Pure Yang Palace. But listening to the "old gentleman" described by this man, isn't his father Xie Fengxuan, the chief general of the dynasty, his appearance?

But how could her father suddenly leave Beijing and come to this Mount Emei, and still follow her all the way? For a while, Xie Yixiang couldn't guess the reason, it stands to reason that since her father also came, he should meet him, but why did he do such a sneaky act? At that moment, she planned to go back to the Pure Yang Palace to look for it and see if she could find her father's whereabouts. Seeing Xie Yixiang's strange expression, the man hurriedly held the copper coin in his hand in front of her, and begged: "If the woman wants money, these are all for you, just ask for ...... I only ask you to raise your noble hand and spare the life of the villain. Xie Yixiang waved her hand slightly and said, "No need, you can go." After saying this, she paid no attention to the man, and went straight back to the road.

Who knew that she had just taken a few steps, and suddenly her heart moved, and she said secretly: "No, there is fraud in this!" She immediately turned around, pointed at the man with the chaos in her hand, and sneered: "What a clever disguise, such a clever tracking technique! I didn't expect that there are such characters as Your Excellency on Mount Emei, and I was almost deceived by you, disrespectful, disrespectful!"

When the man saw Xie Yixiang suddenly turn around, he immediately sneered, and a kind of eagle dog and jackal-like gaze burst out from his eyes, and said with a little disdain: "I can't imagine that I haven't seen you for many years, Miss Xie San's growth is not small, not only can she detect my tracking, but she can also see through my disguise, hum, it's really a tiger girl, it's amazing! His words are no longer the previous Shu accent, but the official dialect of the words, with the words falling, although the man's dress has not changed in the slightest, but the whole person's temperament seems to be reborn, becoming unfathomable, and even faintly bringing people an indescribable sense of oppression.

Seeing the other party's appearance, there was a feeling of déjà vu, Xie Yixiang's heart moved, and then carefully recalled, and immediately blurted out: "You...... You...... Are you a businessman in Beiping, don't give up businessmen and catch heads? How did you end up here?"

It turned out that the man in front of him who pretended to be the people of Mount Emei was the Beiping God Catcher who was as famous as Zhuang Haoming, the chief arrester of the criminal arrest house, and was known as the "Nanzhuang and North Merchants". At present, in the "Xiangyuju" teahouse in Jinling City, Xie Yixiang once had a relationship with him, and in the end, it was this businessman who revealed the truth of the "face-tearing demon" case. Not long ago, her father Xie Fengxuan asked her to go to Bifu, and it was also because of this businessman who did not give up his words, which made Xie Yixiang, who was in Jiangxi, enter Shu alone. Unexpectedly, this merchant did not give up as the head catcher who was transferred from Beiping from Beiping to investigate the case of King Heng, but he never appeared in Bifu, but appeared on this Mount Emei.

In this way, Xie Yixiang was completely relieved, it turned out that the person who followed him along the way was not the murderer behind this series of missing cases on Mount Emei, but the Beiping God Catcher in front of him, who was known as the "wicked man's mill", did not give up, no wonder with his attainments in tracking skills and the magic power of "poor thousands of miles", he couldn't find him, it turned out that it was "Luban got an axe outside the gate, and played a big knife in front of Guan Gong", and it can even be said that the water washed the Dragon King Temple.

Now that he has seen through the identity of the merchant in front of him, the so-called Xie Fengxuan also came to Mount Emei, which is naturally a lie fabricated by Shang Buqi. For a while, although Xie Yixiang had thousands of questions in her heart, she didn't know where to start. I saw that the merchant twisted his neck exaggeratedly and stretched his waist, and then sneered: "Okay, you Xie Yixiang, I saw you in the Fuhu Temple at the foot of the mountain early this morning, and I was really surprised." After tracking and testing along the way, it turns out that you are really investigating this disappearance case on Mount Emei. Hehe, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, they simply don't know the height of the sky!"

Could it be that this Beiping god couldn't catch Bifu, but instead came to Mount Emei, and it was actually to investigate this case of missing tourists on Mount Emei that lasted for a hundred years? At that moment, Xie Yixiang was about to ask Shang Buqi for clarification, when he suddenly heard a "bang" explosion in mid-air, and a colorful firework had already bloomed in mid-air, which was the Emei Sword Sect's summoning fireworks that Guan Ruo had handed over to Xie Yixiang and Xian Jingyue before. Looking at the place where the fireworks took off, it was also the route agreed with him before the first moon, and it was vaguely near the "Wannian Temple" halfway up the mountain. Xie Yixiang couldn't help but feel shocked in her heart, and blurted out, "Senior brother has an accident?"
