But onlookers will always leave a deep imprint in their hearts, and a few candles from the windows of the restaurant will be dimly lit under the bright moonlight.

Suddenly, a girl screamed from inside the store: "Mother, where are you ......?"

Qiao Zhen hurriedly stepped into the store and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

The candlelight in the restaurant is flickering, the "ghost brake" is gone, the girl has jumped out of the window to chase it, the square table where the old woman sat has an extra handprint, into the wood for three points, next to the ground lying alone on the half-cut crutches, around the adjacent square tables are broken.

Obviously, there was a fight here just now, "Phantom Wind Ghost Brake" was attacked by a strong enemy, from the scene it was impossible to guess whether the "Phantom Wind Ghost Brake" was to chase the enemy, or was hijacked by the other party, I couldn't help but feel guilty, the girl had told herself when she went out, take care of the old woman, although the old woman let herself pay attention to the girl's safety, if she insisted on staying, or could avoid accidents, it has come to this, so that you have the face to face the girl in the future? The heart sank for a moment, a long sigh, jumped out of the window, tried to avoid the night market in the downtown area, jumped up and down in the direction of the south of the city, fluttered, came to the Mingde Gate, saw that the city gate had been closed, and jumped on the city wall from the side of the "popular chasing the moon" method, at this moment outside the city wall, the cold stars were all over the sky, the cold moon was shining, and the distant mountains and forests were covered with a faint halo, Qiao Zhen stood on the city wall and looked into the distance, determined the location, and galloped towards the direction of Zhongnan Mountain outside Chang'an City.

Zhongnan Mountain belongs to the Qinling Mountains and is known as the "fairy capital". The east and west stretch for 800 miles, thousands of peaks and blue screens, deep valleys are elegant, the smoke waves are vast, and it is intoxicating. The ancients said, "The mountain is big, and beyond the Taihang, it is better than the south." "Qiao Zhen entered Zhongnan Mountain, wanting to find the traces of the "ghostly wind and ghost brake" and the girl, this is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, how easy is it to say?

For several days in a row, Qiao Zhen shuttled through the jungle shrubs, between thousands of rocks and ravines, thirsty to drink mountain stream spring water, hungry to eat pine cones in the forest, after all, there was still no trace, and when he walked out of the mountains and forests, he looked unkempt and dirty, and the jade-faced brocade clothes when he entered the mountain, he was handsome and handsome.

At this moment, Qiao Zhen was very disappointed because of the unsuccessful search for the two, he went through hardships for several days, walked over the mountains and mountains in the vast mountains, not only did not meet the old woman and girl, but also did not see the mountain people, there were several times almost attacked by the mountain tigers and jungle pythons, and for many days he tried his best to perform light exercises, and the "popular chasing the moon" became more and more proficient, and he gradually realized the essence.

Standing at the exit of a mountain peak, the sun has gradually set in the west, look around, the mountains are undulating, wrapping 10,000 acres of Longtian, under the blowing of the mountain wind, the wheat waves are rolling, several farmhouses are located in the distance, the smoke is curling, a good pastoral scenery, the scenery is very beautiful.

He subconsciously stroked his chin with his right hand, couldn't help but chuckle, and said to himself: "It's time to wash your face!" This water is undrinkable!"

The spring water flowed out from his fingers, and he turned his head to look in the direction where the sound came from, and from the weak but cold voice, he guessed that the source of the sound was in the grass not far away.

For several days, he was like a lonely savage, in the mountains where people are very rare, with plants and trees as companions, wild beasts as neighbors, living an isolated life, making him feel bored and lonely, at this time suddenly heard the words of people, couldn't help but lift his spirits, followed the sound and walked away, and saw an old man in Tsing Yi lying in a weed, his face was gloomy, his expression was haggard, and when he saw Qiao Zhen approaching, his eyes showed a trace of essence, and he sneered: "Young man, my old man saved your life just now, should you do my old man a favor?"

Hearing the old man say this, Qiao Zhen's mouth opened slightly and said in surprise: "What did you say, saved my life?" Old man, don't laugh, as for helping, of course you can, but it depends on what you can help?"

The old man in Tsing Yi smiled slightly: "You don't believe it, you'll know in a while." As for helping, you can take out a small porcelain bottle from the pocket on the left side of my jacket, open it, pour out a green pill, and put it in my old man's mouth. ”

Qiao Zhen noticed that the old man's limbs couldn't move, and when he heard this, he replied: "This is just a gesture." As he spoke, he leaned down and took out a black porcelain bottle from the position on the old man's chest, carefully uncorked the bottle, and a strange fragrance rushed to his face, which made people feel refreshed and clear-headed, and guessed that this must be a panacea.

Slowly stretched out his palm, rolled out three or five green bean-sized pills from the bottle, the color of the pills was turquoise, took out one, put the rest into the porcelain bottle, and corked the bottle, the old man in Tsing Yi watched Qiao Xu's action of taking the pill without blinking.

Qiao Zhen slowly put the turquoise pill in the old man's mouth, and when the old man swallowed the pill, his eyes were slightly closed, and after a while, the old man's pale and withered face gradually overflowed with redness, and the mist rose from the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Zhen was surprised in his heart, and secretly said: "Could it be that the old man's internal strength has reached the peak and reached the realm of refinement? Since the old man in Tsing Yi is a martial arts master, why did he collapse in the grass? Could it be that he was plotted by thieves, why didn't he take the opportunity to take the old man's life? ”

When Qiao Zhen was thinking to himself, he saw the old man's limbs move slightly, gradually stretching and stretching freely, slowly standing up from the ground, laughing loudly, the sound shook the four fields, and after a long time, he stopped laughing, looked at Qiao Chen's eyes and stayed on the package he was carrying, and asked: "Young man, why do you bring so much silver down the mountain?"

Qiao Zhen hurriedly handed the porcelain vase in his hand to the old man and said, "The younger generation went up the mountain a few days ago to find someone, but there was no trace, so he had no choice but to walk down the mountain. ”。

The old man laughed when he heard this, and said, "So that's the case, my old man thought that there was a wild man in this Zhongnan Mountain. Suddenly, his expression turned grim, and he said: "My old man does not want to be favored by others in his life, I have seen it when you stood at the mountain pass just now, but I didn't want to call you, and then I saw that you want to drink the spring water of this mountain stream, so I stopped it, and it can be regarded as saving your life." Because this spring has already been poisoned by me, and if you drink it, you will die. Seeing Qiao Chen's suspicious face, he said, "If you don't believe it, you can go down this stream, and you will naturally understand the reason." ”

Qiao Zhen didn't seem to believe it, raised his feet and walked downstream, about six or seven zhang away, and suddenly saw two dead bodies lying on his back in the grass pile next to the hillside, with strange eyes wide open, purple complexion, and a trace of black blood flowing out of his facial features, and the death was extremely terrifying and terrifying.
