After the two of them hurried to Dark Lu City, Ning Xiaoxue simply bought some dry food and did not make any stops, and went out of the city in the direction of Dark Yu City.

The sun sets and night falls.

Ning Xiaoxue and the two came to the foot of a mountain, at this time the moon had risen, and with the help of the moonlight, they saw a thatched house at the foot of the mountain, and the house was lit with firelight, and it seemed that it was inhabited.

Stopping the carriage, Ning Xiaoxue came to the thatched house, intending to ask the owner if she could spend the night.

Bai Qi also got out of the carriage at this time, carrying his own baggage, and followed behind Ning Xiaoxue.

"Is there anyone?" Ning Xiaoxue asked into the thatched house.

"Who?" said an old man's voice from inside the house.

A moment later, the door of the thatched hut opened, and an old man walked out of the door with a crutch in his right hand and a lantern in his left.

"Old man, we are on our way here, seeing that it is getting late, we plan to spend the night here with you, I don't know if it is convenient?" Ning Xiaoxue said politely.

The old man shook the lantern in front of Bai Qi and Ning Xiaoxue, and his face changed after seeing the appearance of the two of them, and then he sighed helplessly and said.

"Alas...... Let's come in first, and talk about the overnight stay slowly. ”

Ning Xiaoxue frowned, not understanding why the old man sighed when he saw them.

The two followed the old man into the house, and Bai Qi looked at it, the room was relatively simple, a table of eight immortals was placed in the middle of the room, and a board was placed in the corner.

A yellow cloth with a gossip pattern is laid on the board, and in the middle of the board, a pair of white candles and a pillar of incense are burning, and around it are placed tributes, and below the board, a basin full of ashes.

What are you doing?

This thought immediately crossed Bai Qi's mind.

The old man beckoned the two to sit down, poured them a glass of water, and then sat down himself.

He swept his gaze back and forth over the faces of the two of them, and shook his head.

Seeing this, Bai Qi and the two glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes;

"What's wrong with you, old man, if it's inconvenient, we can leave. Ning Xiaoxue asked.

"No, no. The old man waved his hand and said with a smile.

Then he sighed and continued: "When I was young, I was instructed by a master, and I learned a little bit of fortune-telling skills, and I calculated a hexagram for myself this morning, if I didn't meet the two today, I would be able to die safely, and if I met the two, I wouldn't see the sun tomorrow." ”

When Bai Qi and Ning Xiaoxue heard this, their faces showed shock, is it so mysterious?

"I haven't been out for a day today, so I'm afraid of going out and meeting the two, but I didn't expect it...... Alas, what should come will always come, and there is no way to hide. ”

Bai Qi couldn't help but wonder in his heart, this couldn't be an excuse for the old man not to let them stay overnight, right?

Not only did Bai Qi guess like this, but even the well-informed Ning Xiaoxue thought that the old man was unwilling to let them stay overnight.

The old man's eyes swept over the two of them, as if he knew the suspicions in their hearts, so he continued: "You two have just known each other, what the old man said is right?"

What the old man said was completely correct, Bai Qi and Ning Xiaoxue had only known each other for ten days, even if it was only a month since Ning Xiaoxue killed Bai.

Although she was a little surprised, the vigilance in Ning Xiaoxue's eyes still did not relax, she had met many people who claimed to be strange people, but in the end, the result was nothing more than getting the news through special channels, and then playing tricks.

Moreover, Bai Qi who she escorted was not very human, and the sects of the entire continent had thoughts about him, if this old man was one of those people, it was not impossible to know these things.

Although Bai Qi was surprised, he still remained skeptical, not that he doubted the identity of the old man, after all, he was not as well-informed as Ning Xiaoxue, but he doubted whether the old man said that the fortune telling was true or false.

Seeing that Bai Qi and the two did not speak, the old man smiled and continued: "Not long ago, an elder gave you a marriage, am I right?"

Thinking that the hall master of the Dark Hall had indeed said that he would marry Ning Xiaoxue to Bai Qi, Ning Xiaoxue and Bai Qi were shocked in their hearts.

To say that the old man knew that the two had just met for a short time, but then this matter was unbelievable, when Uhir said this, only the three of them were present, and Ning Xiaoxue dared to guarantee that no fourth person would know about this matter except for the three of them.

Ning Xiaoxue also began to believe that the old man had real skills at this moment, and the vigilance in his eyes had disappeared.

And Bai Qi now believed what the old man said before, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Old man, then we leave now, you will be fine, right?"

The old man smiled bitterly, waved his hand, and said, "Young man, where is it so simple! ”

Bai Qi still wanted to speak, but Ning Xiaoxue suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled him to his side.

He looked at Ning Xiaoxue in confusion, only to see that her eyes were already full of vigilance at this time.

"Old man, I'm sorry, I didn't expect this ...... to happen"

Without waiting for Ning Xiaoxue to finish speaking, the old man opened his mouth to interrupt her.

"Alas, it's not your fault, it's just that the old man leaked too many heavenly secrets when he was young, and he deserved this catastrophe. ”

"It's already here!" Ning Xiaoxue continued.

Bai Qi on the side listened to the clouds in the fog, glanced at the old man blankly, and then at Ning Xiaoxue.

"It's okay, there is still a little time, since the time limit has come, I don't have to worry about revealing the secret of heaven and being punished by God, and it is also fate for the two of you to meet me today, I will send you a message, I hope it will help you in the future." ”

As he spoke, the old man moved back to his room, then took out a pen and paper, and then the pen began to move.

After a while, the old man gave Ning Xiaoxue a piece of paper, and when he wrote the second one, his face suddenly changed, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The old man raised his head and looked at Bai Qi in disbelief.

"Old man, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that the old man suddenly vomited blood, Bai Qi asked with concern.

The old man didn't answer Bai Qi's question, nor did he care about the blood at the corner of his mouth, and continued to write, but the speed of writing slowed down significantly.

Ning Xiaoxue clearly felt that the old man's writing strength was gradually increasing, not so much writing, but engraving, and in the process of engraving, the old man was obviously resisted, making his engraving extremely laborious.

It's like you're walking against an oncoming wind.

After the old man carved a few more words on the paper against the resistance, he was already sweating profusely, and his body finally couldn't hold it anymore, so he quickly covered his mouth with his hand and coughed heavily.

Then, Bai Qi saw blood flowing from between the old man's fingers covering his mouth.

And Ning Xiaoxue saw fear in the old man's eyes.

The old man had not shown such an expression when he had just mentioned that he was going to die, and she could not imagine what could make a dying person appear with such an expression.

The old man wiped his blood-stained hand on his clothes casually, and then handed the paper on the table to Bai Qi.

"Young man, the old man has limited abilities, and can only see these things, I hope it can help you in the future. ”

Before Bai Qi could get the paper and read the content on it, he was pulled behind him by Ning Xiaoxue, and then pulled the old man behind him.

When Bai Qi was still confused, Ning Xiaoxue had already kicked down the Eight Immortals Table and blocked in front of him.

Bang!

As soon as he had done this, an arrow with a flaming arrow on it came in through the window, and finally hit the wall behind it.

Before Bai Qi could ask what was going on, he saw countless flaming arrows shooting in from outside the house, as dense as raindrops.

The roof of the thatched hut burst into flames in an instant, and the raging fire lit up the surroundings, and the smoke billowed from the house, and the smokers could not open their eyes.

"Ahem, you go your way, don't worry about the old decay. ”

"Old man, ahem...... Ahem, ahem......" Bai Qi said with a cough.

Ning Xiaoxue didn't speak, she was engrossed in defense, and when an arrow came, she knocked it away with a sword.

"Girl, this young man doesn't know the situation, don't you know either? The old man has leaked countless secrets in his life, so he has no children and no daughters, and he doesn't have anything to worry about when he dies, so you two hurry up, even if you rush out with me, can you be sure that you can protect the two of us at the same time?"

Ning Xiaoxue looked at the old man deeply, nodded at the old man, and said, "Old man, I'm sorry, don't worry, I will let them bury you!"

After all, Ning Xiaoxue had been wandering in the dark hall for ten years, and knew that she couldn't be indecisive now, so she split the wall with a sword and rushed out with Bai Qi.

Bai Qi looked back at the old man before leaving, and the old man smiled and nodded at him in the firelight, and then the burning roof fell down, swallowing the old man.

After rushing out of the house, Bai Qi saw the situation clearly.

The entire house was surrounded by a group of men dressed in black with torches in their hands, roughly estimated at at least twenty people.

The black-clothed men immediately pointed their bows and arrows at the two of them as soon as they saw Bai Qi and the two of them escape from the house.

Ning Xiaoxue didn't talk nonsense, and the sword in her hand swung towards the three black-clothed people closest to them, and a terrifying sword aura flew towards the black-clothed people.

Under the reflection of the firelight, Bai Qi clearly saw that the sword qi was dark red, nearly a zhang long.

The three black-clothed men didn't expect Ning Xiaoxue to be so decisive, and when they were about to dodge this sword qi, the sword qi had already cut off their heads directly.

On the other hand, Ning Xiaoxue, after swinging that sword, asked Bai Qi to follow her footsteps and escape, if she fought in the encirclement, it would only be them who would suffer.

Seeing this, the other men in black directly pulled their bows and shot arrows, but this time they didn't shoot rockets.

Looks like they're going to catch them alive.

Ning Xiaoxue split the burden on Bai Qi's back with a sword, then bit the sword with her teeth, grabbed a piece of clothing in the baggage casually with her right hand, and then turned around and used the clothes to quickly turn in front of her, and finally formed a circle.

The arrows shot at them seemed to be attracted by the clothes in Ning Xiaoxue's hand, all of them gathered in front of her, and as the speed of rotation slowed down, the clothes in her hand actually wrapped all the arrows that were shot, and none of them missed.

Ning Xiaoxue snorted coldly, threw the arrows in her hand hard, and these arrows flew back towards their respective masters, and then she held the sword in her mouth, grabbed Bai Qi in her right hand and rushed out of the encirclement of the man in black.
