This is Xu Ming's second departure, and compared to the first time, this time Xu Ming has a lot more people to say goodbye to.

He first said goodbye to his master and wife: Guan Shanyue, the sect leader of the Ziyang Sect, and his wife Liu Nianchu. What Guan Shanyue wanted to give Xu Ming was rejected by him. Xu Ming went to say goodbye to the little fat man again, and the little fat man honestly said that he had seen that Tang Jinling was not just a kitten before the big competition in the sect, so he quietly used mind reading to chat with Tang Jinling for a few words, and also discussed with her about Xu Ming can "marry two".

"I'm sorry. "The little fat man hasn't slept well for a few days because of guilt. Xu Ming didn't blame him, because under the concept of this world, the little fat man didn't do anything wrong. He hugged Zhang Gangsheng fiercely and said goodbye to him.

Xu Ming went to the palace to say goodbye to the prince and Chen Yuanyuan, and went to the Qinhuai River to say goodbye to Dean Wang...... It wasn't until he couldn't think of anyone who had anything to do with him that Xu Ming reluctantly walked out of Jinling City. "Sure enough, I'm still not suitable for cultivating and becoming an immortal. Xu Ming thought so.

In the early winter, there was some gloom outside Jinling City, and the leaves of the trees on both sides of the official road fell to seven or eight or eight, and the remaining few pieces hung on the trees and let the wind blow and dance. The meadows were also bare, revealing yellow-brown earth. Occasionally, the carriage passing by also galloped by, stirring up a chill.

Xu Ming looked at Guan Chunuan beside him: "Miss, I'm going to find someone, what are you doing, go back to the sect quickly, it's very dangerous." ”

Guan Chunuan snorted: "I am also responsible for Tang Jinling running out of the sect, and my father also agreed that I would accompany you!"

Xu Ming stroked his forehead: "Auntie, why are you still rushing to take the blame, the sect master is also too big, don't you worry about letting you go out with me?"

Guan Chunuan ignored him and walked forward on his own, and Xu Ming followed helplessly behind. Unconsciously, Xu Ming faintly heard a sob: Guan Chunuan was crying.

Xu Ming couldn't see a girl crying the most in his life, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked her in a hurry, "What's wrong with you?"

"I, I, I know you didn't let me go because you didn't want me to be in danger. Guan Chunuan sobbed, her little nose red. She choked and said, "You said goodbye to everyone because this trip to the north was a life-threatening death, and you were ready to never return." But I don't want to, I don't want to lose you. ”

Xu Ming looked at the girl in front of him, and his heart ached: "No, I'm very lucky, I'll be fine." ”

"I want to go with you, it's going to be very lonely and lonely alone, just like when I was smaller, I didn't even have someone to talk to. I was with you at the time, and now I want to be with you. ”

Guan Chunuan raised her head and looked at Xu Ming, her eyes were teary, but she was unexpectedly good-looking.

"Okay. Xu Ming still nodded. He thought that maybe Guan Chunuan would feel tired and tired in a few days, so he would go back by himself, and it was not uncommon for girls to be hot for three minutes.

"Hehe, that's what you said!" Guan Chunuan suddenly smiled, although there were still tears on her face, but the sly smile was hateful and cute.

"Okay, you little girl, you will deceive people!" Xu Ming pointed to Guan Chunuan's little nose, the girl's little nose was still red, and she looked very cute. Guan Chunuan stuck out his tongue and jumped forward.

"The gate of heaven interrupted the opening of the Chu River, and the blue water flowed eastward to this point. "A few years ago, Qinglian Sword Immortal Li Taibai was still a down-and-out scholar, and he wrote this magnificent poem when he crossed the Chu River. It's just that Li Taibai came to Jiangnan from Jiangbei back then, but now Xu Ming is going to Jiangbei.

When Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan came to the Chujiang River, it was already evening, the winter evening was not as gorgeous as the autumn, the sun slowly set westward, the sky slowly darkened, and only the far end of the sky that connected with the earth in the distance could see a very inconspicuous red glow. The Chu River rushed eastward, and the wind was blowing, making people tremble.

Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan stayed at an inn on the dock. There are few people crossing the river in early winter, and there are not many people in the inn, but the fishy smell by the river will not be too light. Xu Ming specially opened the farthest room for Guan Chunuan, and also arranged a formation for her to isolate the odor. So there are still some advantages to saying that the other world is different, such as not having to carry an air purifier with you.

There were also several fishermen who lived in the inn. They are frequent visitors here, and sometimes they go a little further to fish, and if they can't go back, they stay at this inn. A few big men live in one room, and the shopkeeper is also familiar with them, and it doesn't cost much, and they can hide from the nagging of the yellow-faced woman at home, and pay less for a day's public food, so the inn is usually not too deserted.

Today, however, the inn was a little different, with the fishermen sitting around a large round table smoking their own cigarettes, and in the center of the table were the cards that had been turned into tatters. The shopkeeper saw that the players who used to be alive and well, and who didn't play cards until the second half of the night, were like frosted eggplants, and couldn't help but come over to everyone and ask: "What's wrong with the brothers?

The shopkeeper waited for a long time without a response, and stood there a little embarrassed. When a fisherman finished smoking, he leaned his pipe against the table and said, "I don't know what's wrong, but I feel like I'm not in the mood to play cards." ”

The shopkeeper saw that someone finally replied, broke the embarrassing atmosphere, and smiled and added tobacco to the man: "Is it what's wrong in the village?" Most of the people who came today were from the same village on the other side of the river, and the shopkeeper thought that something had happened in the village.

The man got on fire and took two sips: "It's okay, it's just that I don't feel strong today, I'm sleepy, I won't play cards later, and I'll go to bed early." ”

"Maybe I'm tired, it's hard to fish in the winter soon, and everyone is quite tired in order to prepare for the winter. Most of the fish in this inn are bought from local fishermen, and the fishermen don't charge him a few dollars, and the shopkeeper is quite sympathetic to these fishermen. The fishermen nodded their heads and after a while dispersed to sleep.

Xu Ming was practicing the purple qi technique in the room, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was the shopkeeper.

"What's the matter with the shopkeeper?" Xu Ming asked with some confusion. The shopkeeper smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just here to ask the guest officer if there is anything missing." ”

Xu Ming looked back at the room, thought about it, didn't need anything, thanked the shopkeeper, and went back to the room. After a while, there was a knock on the door of Guan Chunuan's room not far away.

After the shopkeeper left, Guan Chunuan came to Xu Ming's room. Xiao Nizi looked at Xu Ming very seriously: "I suspect that this shopkeeper is not a good person, he is plotting against him!" Xu Mingle said: "Then do you say he wants to rob money or sex." Guan Chunuan pouted: "How do I know, maybe I want to rob the wealth first, and then rob the sex!"

Xu Ming looked at Guan Chunuan, who seemed to have persecution paranoia, and smiled helplessly: "This shopkeeper is indeed abnormal, but the object is definitely not us." "Why!" Guan Chunuan looked at Xu Ming, Xu Ming read the book and ignored her.

Guan Chunuan walked up to Xu Ming and pulled his arm and shook it left and right: "Please, tell me, Senior Brother Xu!"

Xu Ming was so angry by her that he put down the "Purple Qi Jue" in his hand, Xu Ming stretched out a finger: "First of all, the shopkeeper did not enter the door at the door, nor did he secretly look into the room, indicating that he was not interested in our property. And looking at our attire, he should be able to see that you and I are both monks, and he is a mortal, and he doesn't dare to think anything about us. And," Xu Ming held out a second finger, "he looked at us carefully without any emotion when he spoke to you and me, especially the faces. So I suspect that he was looking for someone, and it was likely that the person was disguised and wearing a mask. ”

Guan Chunuan nodded, and then looked at Xu Ming again: "How do you know that he also looks at me?" Xu Ming looked at the girl's shiny big eyes, his old face turned red, and he coughed: "I guess." ”

Guan Chunuan didn't speak, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he went back to the room.

Xu Ming was woken up by a loud fight, to be precise, what woke Xu Ming up was the sound of a piece of porcelain falling to the ground and breaking. The only place in this inn where there is porcelain is the shopkeeper's room. Xu Ming almost instantly determined the location where the noise came from, and he quietly went out to Guan Chunuan's room to take a look, Xiao Nizi was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. He thought about it for a moment and quietly went to the shopkeeper's room.

With Xu Ming's character, he would definitely not care about these idle things on weekdays, but now he always thinks about what to do if he happens to meet Tang Jinling, so as long as there is a 1 in 10,000 possibility, he will go and see.

"So it's still impossible to talk about the fortune telling thing, the word fate is really illusory. Isn't it a pit to use one kind of ethereal thing to explain another kind of ethereal thing!" Xu Ming felt that he had found the true meaning of "Qimen Dunjia".

The shopkeeper's room was unlit, and it was dark and dark. But with the faint light reflected by the river, you can still see the two figures facing each other in the dark. One was a little thin, and was supposed to be a shopkeeper, and the other was tall and stocky, as if he were one of the fishermen.

Xu Ming hid behind the door, holding his breath and listening quietly to their conversation.

"I didn't expect you to come here after so many years. This was the shopkeeper's voice, but at this time it seemed a little helpless and weak.

"How long do you think you'll be able to escape?" It was hard to imagine that the voice of the tall black shadow was as thin as that of a woman. But then Xu Ming understood-this should be after the disguise.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper's voice sounded again: "You better change back to your original appearance, I'm really not used to you talking to me like Liu Laoba." ”

Immediately afterwards, the tall black figure shrank sharply, turning into a convex and backward woman-shaped shadow.

"The figure is so good!" Xu Ming almost subconsciously almost praised loudly, but fortunately he stopped it in time.

The woman continued: "Yan Wenxin, ten years ago, you slaughtered a total of thirty-eight people in the entire Zhu Mansion, and you have been hiding until today, you must be tired too." ”

Yan Wenxin smiled helplessly and desolately: "Since you have all decided that I killed you, I have nothing to say, I have indeed lived enough after all these years of stealing, you take me away!"

The woman's voice suddenly became excited: "So why did you kill Lord Zhu, he is your savior!"

"You said I killed it, you don't know why, how do I know!" Yan Wenxin yelled at the woman in front of him angrily and desperately: "I have been investigating the real murderers who slaughtered Zhu Mansion for the past ten years, but they are hiding too well, I can't find them." And I'm always on my lookout for you. The man's voice began to calm down: "I want to find the murderer more than you do." ”

The moon gradually set, and the pale moonlight shone into the room, and fell on the side of Yan Wenxin's face, and he was not seen for only an hour or two, but he seemed to be a teenager old, with a haggard face and gray sideburns.

"I suspect it's someone from Ryokuni, but I don't have proof. Yan Wenxin suddenly said, "Outside the sky, there is a bright moon tower in the sky, only they can do it." ”

The woman looked into his eyes, and her tone was full of disdain: "Mingyue Lou went out to kill a seven-grade county master and killed thirty-eight people, and blamed you?"

"I knew you wouldn't believe it. The man's voice dimmed, and he laughed at himself: "You are six doors, how can you be wrong?"

The woman stopped talking, and walked over and tied Yan Wenxin's hands behind her back.

"One more question for you. The woman suddenly looked at Yan Wenxin: "How did you see that I was dressed as a fisherman?"

"I didn't see it. Yan Wenxin looked at the woman suspiciously, "I only realized it was you when I knew you entered my room." ”

The woman was also puzzled: "Then didn't you drug the fishermen to turn them up?" The man looked at the woman with interest: "Oh, didn't you turn them over to catch me?"

The woman clearly didn't trust the man and didn't talk to him anymore. She walked towards the door with the words and letters.

Xu Ming hurriedly slipped back to the room quietly. So the listlessness of the fishermen has nothing to do with these two people, Xu Ming lay in bed all night and did not fall asleep, but fortunately nothing else happened that night.

"Why did you go last night?" Guan Chunuan looked at Xu Ming, who had been yawning since he got up, and his eyes gradually became playful.

Xu Ming looked at the girl who was smiling evilly, and knocked her little head angrily: "Where do you want to go, Xiao Nizi, I saw six doors last night to arrest people." ”

Xu Ming told Guan Chunuan what happened last night. Guan Chunuan suddenly realized: "I said why didn't I see the shopkeeper this morning!"

"Then who do you say killed the people from the Zhu Mansion?" Guan Chunuan asked as he looked at Xu Ming, who was standing at the bow of the boat blowing the wind.

Xu Ming yawned and rubbed his somewhat sour eyes: "Heaven is out of the sky!"

"Why!" Xu Ming was sleepy, not wanting to return to Guan Chunuan's words: "No why, don't ask so much about children!"

The boat slowly landed, and Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan left the Jinling territory.
