When Duguyun and his entourage arrived at the Dongying rudder, night had already fallen.

Tianlong Sect Dongying Branch, set up in a house on the outskirts of Dongying Town, Duguyun and his party of five had dinner together.

On the dinner table, the homeless young man is feasting, one hoof in one hand, one prawn in the other, one bite on the left and one bite on the right, without stopping...

The other four were stunned...

"I said I was going to lose him, look at his eating appearance, is he going to eat the poor us alive?" Zhao Guang said with a look of disdain.

"Hehe, Uncle Zhao, don't worry, he's just been hungry for too long. ”

"Hey, you can't eat the head of this shrimp!"

Dugu Yun saw that Baizhu was about to gnaw down on the shrimp head when he opened his mouth, and hurriedly said something to stop it.

"Oh oh, get me another one. ”

"Hehehe, I feel like I'm full watching you eat. ”

"Eh, will you peel shrimp, come on, I'll peel it for you." ”

"Hee-hee-hee, you know, peeling shrimp, you have to peel off the shell of the third shrimp, look, that's good. ”

"Mmmm, you're peeling it so fast, come, I'll peel one for you. ”

"Okay, you can try... Oops, pinch here. ”

"Where's the pinch?"

"Oops, here, tail here.... ”

"Oh oh..."

"Hehe, look, isn't it very simple. ”

.....

Seeing that one of them was busy eating, the other was busy laughing, Lin Zhong, Zhao, and Li glanced at each other, nodded meaningfully, and said in their hearts: Obediently... Our great saint won't fall in love with such a stunned person, right?

"When, when, when..."

The sound of bangzi sounded, and the unitary time had come.

Darkness, shrouded in everything, in the courtyard where the illusion lived, the nurses were full of wine and food, and they patrolled the courtyard with a contented face.

Since the city guard commander made trouble in the middle of the night, the guards have also strengthened their vigilance, but thinking that the young master's martial arts in the courtyard are so strong, the center of the people is also full of confidence.

"Ahh Hmm..."

A nurse guarding the gate of the middle courtyard was struggling and yawning.

Among the many assassins of the Spirit Firefly Sect, Lian Ling is not the strongest in terms of skill alone, but in terms of assassination methods, since the death of the ghost, no one can match it.

Night falls, shadows walk by night.

At the outermost gate of the annex, there are four guardians, and there are seven people patrolling the corridors of the first and second courtyards, but there is only one person at the middle gate between the two courtyards.

If you don't move around after eating, it's easy to get sleepy, especially if you're alone.

On the corridor of the first courtyard, Lian Ling still chose the same position, that is, as far as possible, in the same straight line position as the assassination target.

The quiet eyes turned left and right following the pace of the nursing home.

One step, two steps... Seven steps to turn, one, two, three... Nine steps back....

Lian Ling's brain was spinning rapidly, and she needed to remember the turning and turning points of each nurse in the two corridors.

The timing was instantaneous, from his position, when he passed through the gate of the courtyard, he shot and killed, and then jumped up to the second corridor and left this place...

None of this can happen in the field of vision of any nurse...

Closing his eyes, Lian Ling's mind was like a chess game, replaying the movement patterns of a total of fourteen nurses in the two corridors from the perspective of God...

Suddenly, the quiet eyes opened again, and the time had come!

Lian Ling arched his body and raised his left hand, which was originally a white palm, but at this moment it was hardening rapidly, and his sharp fingertips emitted a little glimmer in the moonlight.

The black shadow passed through the middle courtyard gate and landed in the second courtyard, and then jumped up to the corridor of the second courtyard like a dragonfly.

A black shadow floated down on the cloister, and a heart lay in the palm of his left hand, beating constantly.

"Plop, plop..."

At the middle courtyard gate, the nursing home felt that the body seemed to be gradually getting cold, and the wind was blowing? Why is it so cold?

The nurse tried to gather his clothes, but found that his hands were a little disobedient...

Eyes have become difficult to see... Why... Why do you feel inside your body, as if... Something seems to be missing...

The black shadow shook his left hand lightly, and the beating heart was squeezed, and slowly, stopped....

"Whew..."

A cloud of blood burst out of the nursing home's chest...

"Plop"

In confusion, the nurse collapsed, and the black figure disappeared into the night.

Dongying Town Tianlong split the rudder, and Duguyun, Lin, Zhao, and Li were in a room, listening to a bearded man explain the recent situation in Dongying.

"Taishan has rushed to Qingzhou Island ten days ago, and he is currently in charge of the defense, and Dongying Mansion is also busy preparing grain and grass. ”

"What about the Spirit Firefly Sect?"

"Back to the Holy Maiden, since the shipwreck, the Lingying Sect has withdrawn from Dongying Prefecture. ”

"What do they mean, to avoid chaos?"

"According to the subordinates, it is more likely to avoid chaos. ”

"Oh, why does Lord Chen think so? ”

"Hmm... All along, they have rarely participated in external disputes. ”

"Hmph, I think they may just be superficially innocent. ”

"Uh... , nor does it rule out the possibility of what the commander of the forest said. ”

"Alas, the Spirit Firefly Sect is really an unstable existence, by the way, who is guarding Black Mountain Island?"

"Hui Shengnu, she is the leader of the Red Tiger. ”

"Red Tiger? That's the one... That red-skinned shrimp?"

"Oh, that's, yes, it's him. ”

"Did he have any news here?"

"The Red Tiger Commander came the day before yesterday, saying that Jiechen was repairing the ship and might have to forcibly cross the line. ”

"It's... , by the way, who is the absolute dust, the absolute illusion has seen it. ”

"He is the righteous son of Jue Ye and the deputy sect master of Mount Tai. ”

"Oh... , Deputy Sect Master. ”

"Absolute Illusion also came to Dongying Prefecture, and is currently sitting in Dongying Mansion, supervising grain and grass. ”

"He's here too, hehe, I'm going to see him another day. ”

"Holy Maiden, you know him very well?"

"Well, it's not familiar, I've just seen it. ”

"At the moment, the relationship between the two sides is tense, and the saint must not rush there. ”

"Rest assured, it's not like we haven't fought yet. ”

"As for the fact that the Absolute Dust is preparing to cross the line, how does the Holy Maiden think it should be handled?"

"This... This..."Duguyun was speechless for a while, and his eyes kept looking at Lin, Zhao, and Li.

The three pretended not to see it, looking at their noses and their noses and their hearts.

"Well, in this way, send a message to Chihu, saying that I will go to Black Mountain Island tomorrow, and discuss other matters with him when I arrive. ”

Dugu Yun's eyes rolled, and he said with a sloppy look.

"Yes, my subordinates will send the message. ”

With that, Chen Dong, the helmsman, turned around and exited the room.

"Hey, you three, why don't you help me with ideas!"

"Hehe, Holy Maiden, the sect leader said, this time out, we are only responsible for protecting you, and we don't care about anything else. ”

"Hmph... No matter what, I'll talk to Baizhu!"

Duguyun rolled his eyes and left angrily.

"Hey, holy woman, this kind of thing can't be discussed with him, hey!"

.....

Duguyun searched all over the compound, but there was no trace of the wandering youth.

"It's strange, after eating, I said that I would take a hundred steps, where did I go?"

When a guard-faced guard saw him wandering around, he couldn't help but say in a loud voice:

"Holy Maiden, are you looking for that young man?"

"yes, yes,"

"He's outside the hospital"

"Hee-hee, okay, thanks. ”

"Uh... No... You are welcome. ”

In the rudder compound, the homeless youth was squatting on the ground, looking at the roof in a daze.

"Hey, why do you always like to squat?"

"Tired of standing"

"Hee-hee, what are you looking at?"

"Well, can you fly?"

"Fly, how high do you want to fly? ”

"The roof is so high"

"Of course it will pull"

"Take Me Up"

"Hee-hee, good!"

After saying that, Duguyun grabbed the hand of the homeless young man, and the two of them flew to the roof with a "whew".

The homeless youth took off his coat and laid it on the tile.

"Sit"

"Hey, I just bought you clothes, and I'll bring them to pads. ”

"Otherwise, take your clothes pads?"

"Hehe, let's take your mat. ”

The two of them sat on the rooftop...

The moonlight lit up the sky, and the two of them sat in silence for a long time.

......

"What are you looking for me?"

"Hmm... I want to ask you one thing. ”

"Just ask, don't ask about my past, I don't remember. ”

Duguyun then told the conflict between Mount Tai and Tianlong in Beihai to the homeless youth.

"It's not easy..."

"Huh, it's easy, I think it's hard to come up with an idea. ”

"Do you want to fight them, or don't you want to. ”

"Of course not."

"Call that who... What did you just say you were guarding the island?"

Red Tiger

"Yes, tell him to go to military training, practice with great fanfare, and negotiate with the other side after the training. ”

"Negotiations?"

"That's right, you just said that the opposite side is going to cross the line, it's all your guessing, don't talk about it, how do you know what they really think. ”

"I didn't expect you to be really a smart person. ”

"Your definition of smart is a little, low. ”

"Tomorrow, I'm going to Black Mountain, will you go with me?"

"Don't go"

"Huh? ”

"You just said that there might be a fight, so I won't go. ”

"You.... Hmph!"

Duguyun immediately jumped off the roof and walked to the inner room without looking back.

"Hey, I haven't gone down yet. ”

"Come with me to Black Mountain, and I'll pick you up!"

"Oh, then I'm not going either. ”

“.......”

On the other side, in the courtyard where Absolute Illusion lived, the guards were all gathered around a corpse.

"Young Master"

"When did you die?"

"Just now"

"Cause of death"

"Was... By...."

"What are you trembling about, make it clear. ”

"Back to the young master, his heart was taken out. The head of the nursing home swallowed his saliva and said in a deep voice.

"Under the eyes of so many of you, being attacked by someone?"

The subordinates didn't notice any sound, and he just fell to the ground suddenly. ”

"How can there be such a strange thing in the world..."

"Young master... Could it be, could it be haunted?"

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense!"

"Yes"

"Carry it away, find a place to bury it, and strengthen the guard. ”

"Yes!"

In the corridor of the inner courtyard, a red-clothed maid held on to the pillar and looked at the Absolute Illusion side.

"Aqing, go back to the room, don't come out casually. ”

"Yes"

The two guards lifted the corpse on the ground with their hands and feet and walked out of the courtyard.

By the sea, the tide has receded, revealing large stretches of flat beach.

"Second brother, where are we going to bury him? ”

"Buried what you bury, throw it into the sea. ”

"Also, I'm scared when I touch this corpse. ”

"I'm so scared. ”

With that, the two guards carried the corpse through the shallow water and towards the deep sea.

"One, two, three, throw!"

With a "plop", the corpse of the dead nurse rushed into the distance along the waves.

"Alas, it's terrible, and he who doesn't understand dies. ”

The head of the nursing home crossed his hands on his hips, looked at the corpses floating on the sea, and said in a deep voice.

"Second brother, you said that you want to go to Dongying Mansion and ask them to send some people. ”

"Definitely yes, but not tonight, let's talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Also, on this big night, whoever goes out is left alone..."

“......”

"Second brother... , are we alone now?"

"It's... It seems like yes. ”

"Second brother... uh..."

Just as the "second brother" was still looking at the corpse of the nursing home on the sea.

A palm passed through the chest of another nurse from behind...

With a "poof", the palm of the hand was withdrawn, and the nursing home also fell on the waves.

"You.... You're a human or a ghost!"

"Hmph..."

Quiet eyes, black figures, bloody fingertips...

"Ah..... Ghosts!"

The man named "Second Brother" was already frightened at the moment, and ran all the way towards the beach.

"Someone, someone, someone!"

In the distance, the lights of the courtyard are faintly visible.

Hysterical cries for help, drowned out by the fluttering waves.

The black figure flashed in front of him, silently...

The second brother of the nursing home only felt that the world was constantly flipping...

A head left the body and flew out...

"Poof", in the laughter of the waves, floated to the ocean.
