Chapter 28: The Road Meets the Dead

The danger of the rivers and lakes is not something that can be clearly explained in one sentence or two sentences, because you often don't know whether the enemy you are facing is really lonely or a single blow to move the whole body, sometimes it seems simple to hurt or kill a person, in fact, you don't know it yourself, you have provoked the forces behind this person, and you don't know that you have caused the disaster of killing. The rivers and lakes were originally a place where it was difficult to distinguish between a ghost and a ghost.

Dragon City is an ancient and mysterious town, the reason why it is said to be old, is because the buildings here have indeed undergone thousands of years of baptism and have not changed, you can see the houses and buildings made of boulders everywhere, and even the storefronts on both sides of the street are mostly made of stone, which looks unique.

And the reason why it is mysterious is because this is a place named after snakes, and you can see all kinds of unnamed snakes everywhere, lying in shops, restaurants, casinos, green buildings, and even all the dishes in restaurants are based on snake meat. When night falls, you can always hear the "rustle" sound of snakes spitting out letters everywhere, which is slightly eerie. The reason why it is called Dragon City is actually because it is rich in snakes, and it is called Dragon City.

Wolong Zhai is one of the best restaurants in the city, and the reason why it is called Wolong Zhai is because the food here is made of snake meat, and even the wine is made from snakes. So this is one of the best restaurants in Dragon City, and it is full of friends almost every day.

At this time, in Wolongzhai, at a table near the window, there were two people, a man and a woman. The girl, with shoulder-length short hair and a coarse cloth shirt, sat staring closely at a snake lying in an iron cage in the doorway, looking nervous, probably afraid that the snake would inadvertently rush out and bite her. The other boy, shrouded in a black cloak, sat quietly looking out the window, a knife clutched tightly in his hand under his robe.

These two people are Wuxin and Lin Xuan, who have just come out of the Immortal Stream, this is the place where they pass through Qingying Mountain, because they are tired of walking, so they come here to rest.

Looking at the crowd of people coming and going outside the window, almost everyone is playing with the snakes and insects in their hands, big or small, long or short, even a few children who occasionally pass by, maybe the people here have integrated snakes into their lives and regarded them as their companions.

But now he has no intention of thinking about this, what he thinks about in his heart is who is the person who secretly helped him in Wanqing Castle Villa. He knew that person, to be exact, he should have seen it, he had seen it once when he was tracking down the golden knife in Yunzhou City. He also saw that person when Wan Qingshan Villa rushed out with Lin Xuan on his back, to be honest, if there was no such person, he might not be able to get rid of the pursuit of the Wan Qing Gang so easily. But he couldn't figure out who that person was and why he appeared one after another.

When he was thinking about it to no avail, his brow furrowed, because he saw a person, a familiar figure, God Hunting Iron Hero, but this time he was alone.

Tie Xiong also saw Wuxin, because he had also entered this restaurant, and he was standing at the door looking at Wuxin at this time, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his expression was slightly surprised. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his leg and walked over to the table without a heart.

"Young man, we meet again. Tie Xiong walked in front of Wuxin and said slowly, the smile on his face deepened, as if he was very happy to see Wuxin, and sat directly next to Lin Xuan as he spoke, nodding at Lin Xuan.

"Coincidence. Wuxin glanced up at Tie Xiong, and said lightly, neither welcoming nor expressing anything to Tie Xiong's invisible behavior.

Lin Xuan turned her head strangely to look at the old man who suddenly appeared and sat beside him rashly, only to see that he was dressed as an official, with gray hair, a dusty face, and slightly messy clothes, it seemed that he had been in a hurry for a long time. Seeing that Wuxin had no objection, she stopped talking, but moved in the direction of Wuxin, a little farther away from this strange old man.

The careless indifference and Lin Xuan's vigilance were seen by Tie Xiong, and he didn't say anything, but the smile on the corner of his mouth added a little more meaning. immediately called Xiao Er, ordered a few dishes, and then began to squint at Wuxin and keep looking, and did not speak.

"Is my face good-looking?" Wuxin lowered his head slightly and said lightly. Although he kept his head down, he also knew that Tetsuo had been staring at him for a long time. And although he lowered his head, Tetsuo, who was sitting opposite, could still see half of his face, half of his face as pale as snow.

"Your face is not good-looking, on the contrary, it should be said to be terrible, and I believe that no one wants to see your face like this, especially your enemies. Tie Xiong put away his smile and stared at Wuxin tightly.

Wuxin didn't react much after hearing this, but Lin Xuan, who was sitting on the side, seemed to be a little unhappy, he felt that the old man was mocking Wuxin, and was about to refute it, but he heard Wuxin speak.

"You and I don't seem to have any grudges. Hearing Tie Xiong's words, he paused and said lightly.

"Not now, and hopefully not in the future..."Tetsuo paused in the middle of speaking, observed his unintentional reaction, and continued: "After all, no one wants to mess with a man with a knife. ”

Hearing Tie Xiong's words, Wuxin frowned slightly, and asked with a little doubt, "What do you mean?"

"Chang Wanqing was killed by you, right?" Tie Xiong did not hesitate and said directly.

Hearing Tie Xiong's words, he raised his head unintentionally, stared coldly at Tie Xiong's eyes, and didn't speak, he didn't know what Tie Xiong meant, but secretly added a little caution, and the hand holding the knife tightened.

Seeing the unintentional reaction, Tie Xiong smiled, it seemed that he had guessed correctly, so he said lightly: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that a young man wearing a black cloak not only killed the famous Chang Wanqing, but also turned the Wanqing Gang upside down, the moment I saw you, I guessed that it might be you." ”

Recently, there has been a story of a person and a knife on the rivers and lakes, which is very suspenseful, when Tie Xiong saw Wuxin for the first time just now, he guessed in his heart that Wuxin's strength has been seen in Tiexiong in Qingshi Town, and he believes that no teenager can do what is rumored in the rivers and lakes.

Wuxin listened to Tiexiong's words, his brows furrowed even deeper, he didn't expect his momentary impulse to let him spread in the rivers and lakes all of a sudden, he didn't want to do this, because it would hinder his future actions, and it would not be easy to hide his tracks. But when he thought of this, he suddenly remembered that something was wrong, and looked at Tie Xiong and asked suspiciously, "Chang Wanqing is dead?"

"That's right, didn't you kill it?" Tie Xiong also saw the puzzled look on Wuxin's face when he said this, and his brows were furrowed, not knowing what was wrong.

"I didn't kill him, at least he was alive when I left. Wuxin said lightly, he remembered very clearly, although he cut off Chang Wanqing's legs at that time, he was not to death.

Hearing Wuxin's words, Tie Xiong's face also showed a hint of surprise, and he thought for a while and continued: "Just half a month ago, Wanqing Villa suddenly disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and everyone from top to bottom disappeared without a trace overnight, and then there was a rumor about your person washing the Wanqing Gang with a knife. I have been to Qingming Mountain, and the rumors are true, there is no one from the Wanqing Gang in the entire Qingming Mountain, and Wanqing Qingzhuang has long been reduced to ashes. "Tie Xiong has just been to Qingming Mountain, and it is true that as he said, Wanqing Mountain Villa has already been empty, and it has been burned clean.

But at this time, Wuxin no longer had the doubts and surprises when he first heard the news, his head lowered slightly again, shaking a glass of wine that had been poured long ago, but he never drank it. This is the first time he has asked for wine since Crescent Town, but he is no longer in the mood to drink, not because of the arrival of Tie Xiong, nor because Lin Xuan is by his side, but because he can no longer find a reason to get drunk again.

Seeing Wuxin's indifferent look, Tie Xiong said to himself: "It seems that I came to Dragon City to come to the right place, I always feel that everything happened too suddenly, and it is too strange, and I always feel that this matter is related to Red Feather, so I specially went to Qingming Mountain to find out, and the results confirmed that the rumors are true, it seems that I can only go to the Snake Gang to inquire first." ”

When he heard the word "red feather", the hand that shook the wine glass unintentionally trembled, and his pupils shrank suddenly, but he didn't speak, and continued to lower his head as if nothing had happened, but he was thinking about something in his heart.

After a while, the meal was all ready. There were three people seated, but they ordered six dishes, and the shopkeeper couldn't close his mouth, and said one after another, "Not enough to order, not enough to order again." "It's as if I want customers to order all the dishes in his shop. The three of them all began to bow their heads to eat, and no one spoke, but in the middle, Lin Xuan sandwiched a few dishes for Wuxin, and Wuxin reluctantly accepted it.

Soon, Tiexiong put down his chopsticks after eating and drinking, it seemed that he was really tired from the journey all the way, and he ate three dishes by himself. I saw him clapping his hands and standing up, and said with a smile: "The old man still has important things to do, so let's take the first step, and there will be a period later." As he spoke, he hugged his fists, turned around and walked outside the restaurant, and when he walked to the door, he casually threw Xiao Er a silver ingot. Xiao Er happily took it in his hand, looking at the amount, it was enough to pay the price of a pot of wine for these six dishes.

"I'll go with you. Wuxin suddenly spoke at this time, turned his head to look at Lin Xuan, and saw Lin Xuan nodding to himself, getting up and walking out, Lin Xuan also stood up and followed behind Wuxin.

Seeing the back of Wuxin walking out of the restaurant one step ahead of him, Tie Xiong smiled, and smiled meaningfully. He suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was actually not so terrible, maybe his terrible ones were only used on the enemy.

A group of three people shuttled back and forth in the alleys of Dragon City, turning around like walking a maze. And Tie Xiong was like returning to his own home, without the slightest hesitation to lead the way in front, as if he had been walking this road for many years, worthy of the so-called god catcher, it is estimated that he wants to find a prisoner, even if that person is hidden underground, he can dig it out.

However, over the years, he has been looking for a person who he has never been able to find, and he has almost traveled all over the world, but he has not even seen the shadow of that person. The last time I went to Bluestone Town, I was also looking for that person, but I was still disappointed and almost died.

"I don't know who this girl is?" Halfway through, Tie Xiong suddenly glanced back at Lin Xuan, turned his head to look at Wuxin and asked, with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth.

Wuxin didn't speak, but Lin Xuan replied at this time: "It's his good friend, my name is Lin Xuan." After speaking, he stuck out his tongue and secretly glanced at Wuxin, which looked a little cute.

Tie Xiong smiled and nodded, glanced at Wuxin intentionally or unintentionally, and continued to walk forward.

Wuxin turned his head to look at Lin Xuan, and happened to see Lin Xuan's grimace, and he couldn't help but be a little happy, since Qingming Mountain came out, he hadn't seen Lin Xuan so relaxed for a long time, and he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Then I unintentionally saw the clothes on Lin Xuan's body that I had come to a farmer's house at the foot of the Dead Stream, no matter how I looked at it, I felt twisted, and Lin Xuan seemed to be wearing awkward clothes herself, always pulling the placket back and forth, it seemed that it was time to change her into a suitable dress.

While they were thinking about this, the destination of their trip had arrived.

This is a very well hidden courtyard, and people who are not familiar with the road will not be able to find this place. I saw more than a dozen people standing outside the door of the courtyard, although the clothes were very ordinary, but at first glance they were not ordinary people, and the discerning people knew at a glance that they were all practicing families, and there were kung fu on their hands and feet, which could be seen from the posture and position they were standing.

"I want to see your helper. Tie Xiong looked at a man in his early thirties at the door, and said slowly, that person should be the head of this group.

"You know, our gang leader already knew that you were coming, otherwise you thought you could come here with such a swagger? The man said a word, turned and walked inside.

Hearing this, Wuxin and Tetsuo glanced at each other and frowned slightly......
