In the early morning, a cool breeze blew on the body, cold, and the narrow stone road winded up, and the road became narrower and narrower, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard. The word 'Qingyuan' on the plaque is eye-catching, and this was once the place where my mother lived.

The courtyard door fell to ashes, the plaque hung obliquely, it seemed that it was going to fall down in the next moment, the dead trees stood on both sides, and the fallen dead leaves were piled aside, Li Zifeng stretched out his hand, wanting to push open the dilapidated wooden door, but stopped when he was about to touch it, he suddenly remembered what he had said to Xu Zining before, 'Some places, since they have been sealed, they should be put down, and if they continue to be investigated, it will only increase their troubles'.

Thinking of this, Li Zifeng sighed heavily, it is easy to persuade others and difficult to persuade himself, what are he struggling with? Maybe his mother chose to commit suicide at the beginning, just because she couldn't stand the harsh criticism and bullying of Li Muyang and her family, and there was no other reason, she thought too much.

Turning around and leaving a few steps, a ghost-like figure floated by, extremely fast, or was in full view of Li Zifeng, Li Zifeng was about to pursue, a person floated like a ghost, Li Zifeng was startled, subconsciously took a step back, the person in front of him, gray hair unkemptly draped behind him, pale face covered with fine wrinkles, a gray-blue robe with patches, slightly shabby.

Li Zifeng forcibly calmed down, his right hand clenched the sword hidden at his waist, his eyes were covered with a layer of indifference, and he said coldly, "Who are you?

The person who came didn't seem to have malicious intent, his bloodshot eyes stared straight at Li Zifeng, as if he wanted to see him through, and then said in a hoarse voice, "The sea of bitterness is boundless, turn back to the shore, let it go!"

After that, the man took advantage of Li Zifeng's distraction and disappeared in front of him like a ghost again, as if he had never appeared, Li Zifeng did not chase after him in a hurry, for some reason, the person who had just appeared made him feel inexplicable.

"Little boy!" a sweet voice interrupted Li Zifeng's thoughts.

Li Zifeng gave a slight salute, "Miss Kexin." ”

Su Kexin put his hands behind his back and said seriously, "Little boy, did you see that crazy woman just now?"

"Crazy woman?" Li Zifeng said in surprise.

"Oh, she was originally my aunt and uncle, that is, my uncle's concubine, and she used to serve my aunt and uncle together, and they were like sisters. After my uncle took my aunt as a concubine, she also served her wholeheartedly, but she was loyal, and she never looked down on or had the slightest jealousy because of her uncle's low status, and she also took good care of my little cousin, and then my aunt committed suicide, and my poor little cousin also fell off the cliff and died, and her spirit collapsed all of a sudden, and then, she became like this, crazy. Blame the poor too. ”

It turned out to be her, no wonder there was that feeling, Li Zifeng couldn't help but redden, after her mother killed herself, except for Li Shijie, she was the only one who was the best for herself, and she also relied on her as a mother, who would have thought... came back to his senses, disguised the sourness in his heart as helplessness, and sighed, "It's a pity." ”

"Who's to say it's not? ”

Li Zifeng pretended to praise and said, "But your owner is also benevolent and righteous, and he is like this, and he still raises her." ”

She was able to help with some menial work on weekdays, and she didn't talk much, so her uncle left her behind. ”

Li Zifeng smiled and said nothing, but forcibly buried his unbearability and suffering in the bottom of his heart, and at the same time wondered in his heart, how did she go crazy? Li Muyang, a person who is unsympathetic, but 'kindly' raises a crazy person, what is his intention?

Su Kexin saw that the person next to him was distracted again, and patted his arm angrily, "You always don't pay attention to me......!

Li Zifeng said helplessly, "What the eldest lady said is..."

Not far behind, a pair of ill-intentioned eyes were silently staring at the backs of the two of them in the distance.

......

On the mountain road leading to the city, Lu Shiqing galloped his horse, and the whip made a loud crisp sound in the air, and then the horse he was riding suddenly became faster, leading him all the way.

The climate in the mountains is changeable, it was originally a fairly sunny afternoon, after a gust of cold wind, suddenly gloomy, the running horses' hooves, with an icy wind blowing the corners of his clothes, the horse he rode was not a famous breed, but the speed of running has been very high, like this has been running for a long time, but if he doesn't hurry up now, then the situation over there is not something he can control.

The wind gradually became a little louder, because of the long journey, coupled with not getting enough rest, even if he could hold on, but the horse was a little unable to hold on, he stroked the mane of the mount, his face was a little guilty, "Thank you for your hard work......

As if to understand what he was saying, the horse made a loud snort, which counted as a response. If he can't use light power all the time, the most important thing is that he has to recharge his energy now, because he knows very well that he will not be calm on the way to the city.

The forest seemed to be calm, but in a hidden corner, a man in a strange costume was squatting in place, looking at Lu Shiqing's advancing figure, with a gloomy face. The pale fingertips, the glittering silver needles, are ready to go. Although Lu Shiqing seemed to be concentrating on the road, he had actually raised his vigilance and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

A slight gust of wind carried a fishy smell towards his face, this fishy smell seemed to be the smell of blood, Lu Shiqing knew that something was wrong, and suddenly the whole person fell backwards, and when he fell backwards, he suddenly stirred the vortex hidden in the cold wind, and the forest that seemed to be quiet and peaceful suddenly became weird!

At this time, an extremely strong wind hit him, he flashed back, a little on the tree, and suddenly took off, and then looked back, and found that there was a row of silver needles shining where he originally fell, and the difference between this silver needle is that the end of the needle is still connected to a thin chain, when he fled from that place, his eyes flashed, and he saw that the silver needle was pulled back again, Lu Shiqing saw this, and knew that someone had attacked him.

A stronger wind struck again than before, and at the same time, a strong suction force came from the wind, and a strangely dressed person stepped out of the wind, Lu Shiqing was startled, he recognized this exercise, this exercise was a whirlwind technique.

The whirlwind technique is a Hengjiang exercise, the practitioner uses his strong internal force to bring up a whirlwind-like wind, and then with a very fast body method, the opponent is invisibly pulled to the flesh and blood blurred, if you use the special poison powder of Hengjiang - carrion powder, sprinkled on the wound, the wound will immediately rot, and eventually die of pain.

The assassin's vicious gaze searched for his opponent, and his expression became extremely fierce, "I advise you not to hide anymore, otherwise, I will let you die without a place to bury!"

Lu Shiqing took the opportunity to unfold the long sword when he spoke, and with a shake of the long sword, he sprinted towards the assassin, but who knew that the assassin's figure was ingenious, and he immediately flashed the long sword directly, not only that, but also threw out a poisonous iron thistle with his backhand, Lu Shiqing was shocked in his heart, and quickly pulled the sword flower, blocking the iron thistle that shot at him one by one, and the iron thistle terrestris deviated and shot at the trunk next to him.

Not only that, but he lunged forward again, as if startled by his agile figure, the assassin retreated, but did not exit the range of the sword, but still because of his agility, he was not seriously injured. Lu Shiqing drew his sword and headed at the assassin again. The Assassin unleashed the silver needle again, and the silver needle blocked the sword, making a piercing sound.

Lu Shiqing quietly stepped back and took off to the left. But he understood that although he had made a light effort, it was only a temporary solution to the urgent need after all, and it could not fundamentally solve the situation of being besieged, and he thought about whether he should use his killer weapon-poison technique.

Although he is very familiar with poison techniques, he has never used them, because they are too hurtful, but now he sees that fierce assassin suddenly attacking, and constantly using whirlwind techniques and poisonous hidden weapons, and he is vicious, every time he comes at his death hole, if he waits for the rabbit or fights hard, then waiting for him will only die.

Lu Shiqing took out a pill-shaped object from his body, threw it into the air, and hit the assassin, suddenly a strange smell emanated from the assassin's body, the assassin's eyes were suddenly round, just when he was about to shoot again, his whole body suddenly stiffened, and he couldn't exert any strength, and the power of the whole person was like flowing water from a water bladder, and it passed away one after another, and finally fell to the ground with a bang.

The murderous aura of the forest faded, and the tranquility was restored again. Lu Shiqing let out a long breath, but the next moment he thought of the attack just now, his brows tightened, obviously, the assassin just now knew him very well, and set up an ambush on the mountain road leading to Weicheng in advance, he must know his itinerary very well, thinking about this. Quickly went through the other people he had seen before going down the mountain for a while, Lu Shiqing's heart jumped, and he was frightened by his own guess, could it be?

Lu Shiqing couldn't help but shudder, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart. He finally understood why Ouyang Ze was in such a hurry to send him to Weicheng to support Xu Zining and the others. Thinking about the remaining half of the journey, he didn't dare to delay any longer, jumped on horseback, and stepped up his journey.
