For two days, Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku walked almost every corner of Huashan Town, but they found no trace of the man in white.

In order to avoid Qin Ku's "loss of his wife and his soldiers", Liu Xunyi decided to use the power of the Xianwang Mansion to draw the appearance of the man in white on paper, and let Ling Qing secretly contact friends in the rivers and lakes, and lay a net in the small town of Huashan, vowing to find the man in white.

The stars shifted, and another day passed, and there was only one last night left before the time limit agreed with Teng Sanshi.

On the sixth day of September, in the evening.

Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku, who were almost desperate, finally waited for a piece of news, pointing directly to the west of Huashan Town, a village that had been abandoned for many years, called "Apricot Kiln".

Time is running out, let's go.

Liu Xunyi arranged for Ling Qing to lead people to stay in Qixinglou, and he and Qin Ku took advantage of the hazy moonlight to hurry to Xingyao Village.

This village is vertical and horizontal from north to south, the layout is extremely simple, in the middle is a sheep intestine path full of weeds, and there are more than a dozen courtyards of large and small scattered on both sides, and now they are all scattered, reduced to broken walls and ruins everywhere.

Seeing such a village, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but recall his childhood life, and suddenly felt sadness and emotion.

"Look, look!"

Qin Ku's voice woke Liu Xunyi from his trance, and looked in the direction of his finger, but saw a wisp of cooking smoke rising in a dilapidated courtyard in the village.

"Xingyao Village has been abandoned for many years, and I can't even see a ghost on weekdays, why is there cooking smoke?"

"Apparently someone has settled in the village. ”

With that, the two looked at each other and smiled, turned over and dismounted, and quietly swept towards the broken courtyard.

Outside the courtyard wall, Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku clearly heard someone in the courtyard humming a small song.

At the same time, a strong smell of barbecue meat crossed the courtyard wall and entered the mouths and noses of the two.

"It's him!" Qin said bitterly, "It's unfair that he didn't sleep well for three days while he hid here to enjoy it......"

"Why don't you come in and have a drink?"

Before Qin Ku's words fell, a joking laughter suddenly came from the courtyard.

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku couldn't help but be stunned, they all smiled bitterly, simply stopped hiding, swaggered around the courtyard wall, and walked into the courtyard through the doorway with only one broken door left.

At this moment, a bonfire was burning in the courtyard, and the man in white, whom they had been looking for, was sitting on a stone mill with his feet crossed, holding a branch with a pigeon in his hand, and roasting delicious food with great interest.

Seeing Liu Xunyi and the others, the man in white was neither surprised nor panicked, and still concentrated on doing his own thing. Just waved his left hand lightly, and with a soft internal strength, he threw the two jars of wine beside him towards Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku.

"Wine, I please. The man in white laughed, "But the pigeon doesn't have your share." If you want to eat, you can take 5,000 taels in exchange. ”

"How dare a suckling pigeon ask for five thousand taels, but can't it be inlaid with gold?"

Qin Ku took the wine jar and poured two sips of "Gu Dong Gu Dong", relieving his dry mouth.

"The pigeon is not worth it, but I am worth it. The man in white replied while bringing the pigeon to the front to watch the fire, "If it weren't for me, how would you be able to earn five thousand taels from nothing?"

"The invitation to the martial arts conference has now reached tens of thousands of taels. Qin pouted bitterly and said, "Selling it to you for just five thousand taels, how can you talk about 'making money for nothing'? Lao Tzu has lost a lot!"

The man in white tore off a piece of pigeon meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it with relish, then shook his head quite dissatisfied, put the pigeon back on the fire, and threw a strange smile at Qin Ku, and said meaningfully: "I'm not talking about an invitation, but Teng Sanshi's other five thousand taels of honorarium for you." ”

Liu Xunyi was secretly shocked in his heart, and at the same time answered without a trace: "It seems that you already know." ”

"Not only do I know that Teng San Shihua has five thousand taels for you to find me, but I also know that you are secretly using the power of the Xian Wangfu to send people to track down my whereabouts. The man in white smiled evilly, and at the same time threw a playful look at Liu Xunyi, and said, "I sat on the seat of the black fan at a young age, and sure enough, people can't look good." ”

"Brother Ren is the same age as Zaixia, so why do you have to put on a posture of a senior in the rivers and lakes?" Liu Xunyi smiled, "Since you know our intentions, I don't know what to do?"

"What are you going to do?" the man in white didn't seem to understand Liu Xunyi's question, and a suspicious look flashed in his eyes, "What do you mean?"

"To put it bluntly, did you take the initiative to go back with us, or were you beaten to death by us and then tied you up?" Qin Ku unceremoniously made his words clear.

"Why should I go back with you?"

Qin Ku complained: "You dare to ask? What good deeds have you done, don't you remember? You stole other people's jewelry, came to me to cheat the invitation, and counted this bad account on my head, so that Lao Tzu got into trouble for no reason......

"Wait!" the man in white interrupted, "You and I have made it clear that day, and when we walk out of the inn gate, you and I owe each other. You said this yourself, why did you go back on your word?"

Being teased by the man in white, Qin Ku couldn't help but blush and quibbled, "Having said that, it's ...... But I didn't know you stole those things......"

"Even if I robbed it, what does it have to do with you?" the man in white laughed, "Fatty, you keep saying that you do business, you don't even understand the rules of doing business, right? Who swore in the first place, 'The money and goods are clear, and the money will not be refunded when it is outdated'? What is the matter tonight?"

"I ......" Under the aggressive questioning of the man in white, Qin Ku, who is usually eloquent, became a little incoherent. After all, this time it was indeed his fault.

"Actually, you buy an invitation and we look for you, it's two different things. Liu Xunyi relieved the siege and said, "Brother Qin collects 5,000 taels from others, and there is a way to 'collect money from people and eliminate disasters for others'......"

"Haha......" Suddenly, the man in white laughed loudly and praised, "Your excuse is much smarter than the fat man's rambling words." ”

"I don't know ...... brother"

"Five thousand taels went into the fat man's money bag, and it was not mine. The man in white took the pigeon off the branch, tore at the tender pigeon meat with great interest, and replied nonchalantly, "Therefore, it is the fat man who should give an account to Teng Sanshi, not me." ”

"What do you mean...... Don't you want to go back with us?" At this moment, Liu Xunyi's right hand had quietly touched the hilt of the sword.

"Let me go back with you. The man in white seemed defenseless, and said while eating, "Give some benefits, everything is easy to discuss." ”

Hearing this, Qin Ku's face suddenly showed a relieved smile, and he shouted, "Didn't you say it earlier? Since everyone is in the same way, no one should go around in circles and talk about the price directly to the point, how about it?"

"Fatty, I'm getting more and more fond of you. The man in white nodded with satisfaction, "You are more sensible than the brother who sneaked the sword." ”

was told by the man in white that his small actions were broken, and Liu Xunyi suddenly felt red-faced. For a while, he didn't move his hand on the hilt of the sword, and he didn't move it, so embarrassed.

"Meeting is fate, this time Lao Tzu is open, losing money and making money, and he should make friends with you. Qin Ku pretended to be a "generous" person who endured the pain and cut his love, and slowly stretched out three fingers.

"Three?" the man in white hesitated, "Three thousand ......"

"Thirty taels!"

Before the man in white could speak, Qin interrupted hoarsely: "Thirty taels of white flowers and silver, how about it?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xunyi and the man in white were stunned almost at the same time, and the expressions on their faces were very different, and they couldn't say anything wonderful.

"Thirty taels?" the man in white laughed and laughed, jokingly, "Fatty, you are really a dime iron rooster." Take 5,000 taels yourself, but only give me 30 taels?"

"Thirty taels is not a lot. Qin painstakingly instructed, "Young man, don't be too ambitious, and be anxious for quick success. The kind of good thing that gets rich overnight is almost impossible to happen. I think that back then, Lao Tzu started to earn three or five cents, and he has survived step by step to today, is it easy? Now you can earn 30 taels as long as you move your mouth, and this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing is not often ......."

"Ten thousand taels!"

Suddenly, the man in white had a straight look in his eyes and directly stated his conditions.

"10,000 taels? Could it be that you can't beat Lao Tzu as a bamboo pole?" The "grievance" on Qin Ku's face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a look of annoyance, "Lao Tzu only earned 5,000 after working hard, you can easily ask for 10,000?" ”

"Disagree?"

"What do you say?"

"If you don't buy and sell, you don't agree. The man in white said with a sad face, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you don't bring me back, you will have to pay it back tenfold." Looking up is 50,000, bowing your head is 10,000, you should know which is more important. All in all, if you don't have ten thousand taels, don't want me to help you. ”

"Bullshit logic!, does Lao Tzu have to break the fortune?" Qin scolded bitterly, "Don't say 10,000, even if Lao Tzu doesn't have a penny, he can still bring you back, believe it or not?"

"Letter!" The man in white stuffed the last piece of meat into his mouth, casually threw the pigeon bone in front of Qin Ku and Liu Xunyi, and smiled proudly in the spring breeze, "I believe that you must be unlucky!"

"Toast and don't eat and drink!"

"Poof!"

With a loud shout, Qin Ku pulled out his knife from the sheath between the lightning and flint, and instantly swept in front of the man in white, swinging his knife and slashing without mercy.

"Aren't your frightened heart beating wildly? How dare you do it?"

"It's better to be scared to death than to be poor!"

"Haha...... Interesting. ”

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Before the voices of the two fell, Qin Ku's long sky knife had already cut through the night, instantly splitting the white-clothed man sitting on the stone mill in half, and at the same time, the force did not decrease, roaring down, shattering the stone mill below.

The strange thing is that after the long sky knife split the man in white, there was no cruel scene of blood spilling and internal organs flying.

On the contrary, the man in white was still smiling and content, but his figure gradually became a little blurred in the night, until it completely dissipated into nothingness.

"Afterimage?" Liu Xunyi said in shock, "This person is even more powerful than I thought!"
