The room is not big, but it is very exquisite. The wooden wall panels are planed smoothly without marks, and the tight stitches are barely visible. There is a square table, a kettle, and a few chairs, all neatly displayed.

The four corners of the room are lit up, and this chic space is a little warm. Of course, I didn't want to feel these things now, Mu Xiao gently put down Qi Nian, Jiang Qiaoqiao pulled the quilt for her, and the two cooperated quite tacitly.

"Why don't you want more?" Mu Xiao asked casually as he untied his long sword and hung it on the wall hook.

Jiang Qiaoqiao wrung out the towel in her hand and walked to the head of the bed, looked at Qi Nian and said, "She is unconscious, and the situation in Tongzhen is unknown, so it's better for us not to separate, after all, this is the Youlong Empire." ”

Mu Xiao moved a chair and put it behind her to signal her to sit down, and then said after a little contemplation: "That fat man just now......"

"He is also from Qingyang. Before Mu Xiao's words fell, Jiang Qiaoqiao casually picked up. After wiping Qi Nian's face, he got up and looked at Mu Xiao: "His accent is like that of a person from the imperial capital, but the aura on his body is like the skeleton of the Ice and Fire Corridor!"

Mu Xiao was about to say this, the breath released by the fat man on the first floor was the same as that skeleton, and there must be a connection between the two. Seeing that his realm is not high, it should not be the realm of the pseudo-sword sect, that is, he used the method of refining corpses. Thinking about the burning paper talismans scattered around the skeleton, Mu Xiao's eyes suddenly expanded: "In addition to him, there should be a master." ”

Jiang Qiaoqiao hung up the towel, shook the water droplets in his hand and lifted the teapot to pour water, held the bowl in both hands and sat down elegantly at the square table, looking up at Mu Xiao who was standing two meters away, with a look of scrutiny, which made him tremble.

"How did you and her meet? Did you know each other in Tianyuan? No, I don't seem to know you very well. Jiang Qiaoqiao's eyes were sharp, as if she wanted to see through every trace of thought in Mu Xiao's heart.

Mu Xiao didn't expect Jiang Qiaoqiao's words to suddenly change and ask about this matter. There is nothing to hide, that is, she may not believe it when she says it, and there is no other way at this time, of course, Mu Xiao doesn't want to hide anything, it is an innocent relationship, and there is nothing to hide.

Mu Xiao glanced back at Qi Nian, who was lying quietly on his doubles, and sat down on a chair opposite Jiang Qiaoqiao. At this time, Jiang Qiaoqiao handed over the tea bowl with both hands, and his eyes were always staring at him: "Take a sip of tea first!"

Mu Xiao took the tea bowl with a wry smile, and the moment the hands of the two touched, Jiang Qiaoqiao's face was slightly red, and he withdrew his hand in his arms in a panic, and his heartbeat accelerated inexplicably at this moment. Mu Xiao pretended not to see her flustered expression, and poured tea into his mouth, burning him so much that he wanted to cry. put down the remaining half bowl of tea in his hand, and told the original book about the chance encounter with Qi Nian in the ghost gate.

"You've ...... on your back"

Jiang Qiaoqiao was obviously a little unhappy when she heard the back. It's just that at this time, there was a knock on the door outside, the two of them were silent, and at the same time stared at the door, Mu Xiao got up and took down the worry-free sword hanging on the wall, and said to the door: "Who?"

There wasn't a single movement outside, let alone a response. Mu Xiao walked towards the door, and Jiang Qiaoqiao also stood up at this time. Moving lightly behind Mu Xiao, Mu Xiao grabbed the doorknob with his big hand and opened a small crack to measure his eyes and went out, and two figures in the corridor outside were waiting. Mu Xiao muttered in his heart, what is this fat man going to do!

Mu Xiao raised his hand to signal Jiang Qiaoqiao not to move, and he pulled the door and stepped out, casually closing the door of the room. took two steps forward and stood in front of the fat man, and there was an old man with frosty white hair beside the fat man, and the dust in his hand fluttered slightly. Mu Xiao looked at the master and apprentice suspiciously, and asked with a smile: "The two of you knocked on the door at night, but what is the matter?"

The old man is on

Looking down at Mu Xiao, the young man in front of him gave him a mysterious feeling, his cultivation was not very high, but his momentum was extremely powerful. The old hand stroked his beard and nodded: "Yes, no wonder your skeleton puppet was broken so easily." ”

The old man glanced at the half-hung man on the side as he spoke, and at this time, Mu Xiao's scalp suddenly swelled, it turned out that the skeleton in the Ice and Fire Corridor was their ghost? Although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't show it, but grinned and said: "It turns out that the skeleton puppet is the handiwork of the seniors, but there is something else to do with me so late?"

"Hey, it's not too late, it's not too late! It's just dark this day, I heard my apprentice say that you brought an unconscious girl on the road, I guess if you can show her?" The old man was full of smiles between his words, and he didn't see a trace of evil intentions, but he was a little nervous and worried.

Mu Xiao's eyes swept over the fat man on the side, although these two people were not hostile, they had to defend against others. It's better to stay away, Mu Xiao arched his hands and said to the two: "That's true, I thank the half-brother for helping to solve the siege, my friend is just suffering from some wind and cold, so he won't bother his seniors, right?"

Mu Xiao was about to turn around and go back to the room after speaking, the two masters and apprentices looked a little helpless at each other, the old man stepped forward and said: "The old man has no malicious intentions, it's just that the girl brought back by Xiaoyou has some relationship with the old man, and I hope that Xiaoyou will allow the old man to take a pulse for her." ”

"Yes, Brother Mu, don't worry, the two of us are also from Qingyang. The fat man smirked, and the old man on the side nodded in agreement.

Mu Xiao stopped and turned around again and asked, "Since the two of you know which girl, why don't you tell me where she came from?"

The old man smiled very much when he heard this, and his big hand stroked the gray beard and smiled: "According to what my apprentice said, this girl is from the Qingyang Emperor's capital, I'm afraid Xiaoyou doesn't know her true origin, right?"

"Of course I know that she is from the imperial capital, but if you want to see her, please give me a convincing reason, if not, I hope you can leave here. Mu Xiao's tone was still flat, after all, the appearance of this old man was really incomprehensible, and he looked like a hidden master. The fat man looks stupid, and his strength is definitely not too weak.

Stomp

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, the old man frowned slightly, the dust in his hand suddenly waved to the corridor, and the next moment there was the sound of heavy objects rolling down the stairs, and when the corridor was quiet again, the corner of the old man's mouth showed a faint smile: "I don't know what is dead or alive." ”

"The seniors are too heavy, right, maybe people are here to deliver water?"

The old man just whipped the dust lightly, and he had already sent the people downstairs, and Mu Xiao was more cautious about the old man at this time. Especially this kind of person with a smile on his face is often extremely dark in his heart.

The fat man walked sideways in front of Mu Xiao and the old man and walked towards the corridor, glanced down and came back and said to the old man: "The master is a little ruthless, he is the innkeeper and fainted." ”

"Go and see if there is any broken skin, but don't let him bleed to death!" the old man's face suddenly darkened.

After the fat man walked away, the old man smiled at Mu Xiao again and said, "The girl you brought back is the young master of the Shura Sect-Qi Nian, what the old man said is right, right?"

airplanes

Mu Xiao's head suddenly roared, Qi Nian turned out to be the second most powerful young master in the Qingyang Imperial Capital? Although he had heard of the Shura Sect, he had never heard of a young master.

Shuramen in the Qingyang Imperial Capital is second only to the Cangyu Sword Sect, Shuramen's martial arts are regarded by the world as evil demons and crooked ways, the sect's martial arts are mainly demon cultivation, Shuramen's hearts are ruthless, and the impression among the sects is that it is vicious and unreasonable, and its master

Qi Youxi is even known as the heinous female devil.

"Xiu, Shuramen, I have never heard of any young master of Shuramen, my predecessors are not scaring me, are they? I'm timid!" Mu Xiao was really shocked, he couldn't imagine that he had inadvertently had something to do with the Imperial Capital Cult.

The old man saw Mu Xiao's face full of surprise, and his face was even more proud. At this time, he sighed and said, "What's the matter? Scared? Pull on you, dare to break into the Ice and Fire Corridor?"

The old man still stood up Wei Zhan, and his eyes exuded a joking essence: "The old man looks at you very tightly, this time you crossed the Ice and Fire Corridor and entered Tongzhen, I'm afraid it is also for the Youlong Sky Valley that will open in a few days, right?"

"Didn't the seniors also come here for this?Could it be that they want to get rid of me here in advance tonight?" Mu Xiao suddenly sneered.

But the old man shook his head, and a faint power shrouded Mu Xiao between the dust and his hand, and then the door behind him suddenly opened. A tearing sound sounded instantly, and a blue sword qi swept from the side of Mu Xiao's body and stabbed at the old man opposite.

The old man whisked the dust in front of him, and a white light suddenly appeared, effortlessly canceling out Jiang Qiaoqiao's sword qi. The old man stood still and did not move at all, and the dust in his hand had returned to its original state at some point, hanging in front of him like a waterfall.

"The young man is impetuous, the old man just wants to go with you, after all, as soon as the empty valley opens in a few days, many masters of the Youlong Empire will definitely be present, and there will inevitably be a lot of trouble at that time, the so-called one more person has more strength, why don't we unite together with the people from Qingyang?"

At this time, Jiang Qiaoqiao had been stopped by Mu Xiao, looked at the old man with some anger and said, "Since you want to be together, why do you want to harm him?"

"We all misunderstood, the old-timers are here to expel the cold on my body!" Mu Xiao felt much more comfortable than before at this time. Ever since he walked out of the Ice and Fire Corridor, he had been feeling a chill in his body for a long time, and the old man's strength had passed and he felt relaxed.

Jiang Qiaoqiao subconsciously felt it, and indeed as Mu Xiao said, the strange cold aura on his body had disappeared at this time, and his body was full of strength, and he stretched out his hand to salute the old man with a red face: "I was reckless for a while, please don't mind my seniors." ”

"Haha, it's okay, it's all the husband's heart, this time I can go in and see the young master of the Shura Sect, right?" the old man laughed.

Mu Xiao made a gesture, and as the old man walked towards the room, Jiang Qiaoqiao outside the door was still bare for the old man's words.

The old man sat down in front of the bed, stretched out his hand to check Qi Nian's pulse, and the smile on his face gradually froze, and then became horrified.

"How is it?" Mu Xiao asked from the side, vaguely with a bad premonition.

The old man got up and paced back and forth, sometimes gritting his teeth and looking up to think, sometimes looking at Mu Xiao and Jiang Qiaoqiao, it seemed that there was no good way.

After a long time, the old man shook his head and sighed: "The girl's coma is not caused by the cold air of the Ice and Fire Corridor, but a strange cold poison in her body, like the extremely yin qi of the Yuanshan Crocodile Pool. I have traveled all over the world, and I have never seen anyone survive under the extreme yin and evil qi. ”

"Are you a Sanren Li Xiu's senior?" Jiang Qiaoqiao was surprised, Mu Xiao may not know who Li Xiu is, but Jiang Qiaoqiao has followed her mother for many years, so she naturally has seen a lot.

It is said that Li Xiu, a person who is a loose cultivator in the imperial capital, does not join any sect, travels all over the world alone, and cultivates a body of strength, and the proper realm of the True Sword Sect is only one step away from the Sword Saint. Appearing in front of her at this time, how not to make her excited?
