Night. The pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info night sinking like water.

It's been the fifth day since we left Hengzhou. In the past five days, we have walked quite calmly, Xuantiemen has not troubled us, and Zhao Chuanshu has not sent anyone to chase after us. It seems that the road is very peaceful, but I have always pressed a stone in my heart, I dare not let my guard down, and my heart has always been sad.

Pushing open the window, it was dim and dark outside, and it was drizzling, and the window was facing a group of houses, and there was no end in sight.

I sat down in front of the window, the autumn wind blew in with the autumn rain, and it was rushing on my body, my body was indescribably cold, and my mind kept wandering the sentence that Lin Nan told me: The whole door was killed, and only she survived.

When I think of this, my heart hurts again.

Shiqi is a person from Piaoxiang Valley, her real name is Jiang Qianyu, and her father is Jiang Ruohuai, the valley owner of Piaoxiang Valley. However, the Fragrance Valley is no longer on this river, and it is gone forever. Piaoxiang Valley was wiped out overnight more than ten years ago, and hundreds of people up and down Piaoxiang Valley survived except Shiqi, and no one else survived. Who did it, Lin Nan said that no one knew. The tragedy of Piaoxiang Valley has also become an unsolved case, causing a sensation in the rivers and lakes.

Thinking of Shiqi's cold face on weekdays, I can't help but feel sad. Even though it has been a few days since I learned about her background, every time I think about it for a few days, my heart still hurts.

The reason why the two heroes of Yellow and Blue let us go is probably because they know about the tragedy in Piaoxiang Valley, and their hearts are soft, right?

Outside the window, the drizzle fell silently, and the houses in the distance were hidden in the darkness, and it was also silent.

After sitting in front of the window for a long time, I let out a long sigh, opened the door and walked out.

As soon as I walked to the inn hall, I saw Lin Nan standing in front of the door of the inn, looking out of the door motionlessly. Although it was raining lightly outside, there were still a lot of people walking around the streets, and there were still a lot of stalls on both sides.

I walked up to Lin Nan and said, "Brother Lin, let's go out for a walk." ”

Lin Nan smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not bad to go out for a walk." ”

After five consecutive days of travel, we passed through Tanzhou and arrived at Jingzhou City in the evening of this day. Jingzhou is the capital of Jiangling Prefecture, with a population of 500,000, one of the most populous states in the Great Song Dynasty, and also the most important trading state in the Great Song Dynasty, enjoying the reputation of "the golden belt of the hinterland". It is not only an important place for soldiers, but also prosperous, Jingzhou has naturally become a happy land, and Jingzhou City is the most prosperous place in Jiangling Prefecture.

Away from Hengzhou, I no longer wear that human skin mask, and I always feel stuffy and panicked when I wear it on my face. We were walking on the street, Lin Nan said: "This is not far from HN Mansion, and it only takes seven or eight days to get to Shaolin Temple." ”

I said, "yes, I hope I don't run into that blackiron gate again along the way." ”

I don't worry about the Giant Eagle Gate anymore when I get out of Hengzhou, no matter how powerful Zhao Chuanshu is, after all, he is just a medium-sized sect in Hengzhou City, and the reason why he is so careful is that he just doesn't want to cause trouble. However, the Xuantie Gate will not stop there. It is possible that the people of Xuantiemen have already arrived in Jingzhou. Perhaps, in a room, staring at us through a window.

Lin Nan nodded slowly, and said thoughtfully: "Brother Gu, have you ever wondered who created the Open Heaven Gong?"

I was stunned, shook my head, and said, "I didn't think about that. ”

Lin Nan said with a smile: "Brother Gu, don't you think that your Open Heaven Skill has something in common with Ma Qianli's internal strength?"

I was a little strange and said, "Could it be that Brother Lin has seen something?"

Lin Nan said: "Although I don't know what kind of internal strength Ma Qianli cultivates, the internal strength cultivated by the two of you can make the body abnormal, and there must be something in common." ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, but that's true." ”

Although I don't know what kind of internal strength Ma Qianli is cultivating, his internal strength does have the same effect as Kaitian Gong, but his abnormality is on his face, while my abnormality is on his legs and arms. Although the parts of the mutation are different, the essence is the same.

Lin Nan suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Gu, do you still want to explore the rivers and lakes?"

I couldn't help but look at Lin Nan, feeling a little gloomy in my heart. Since Lin Nan told me about Shiqi's life experience, I don't want to break into any more rivers and lakes. If I can, I hope to follow Shiqi back to Youyun Villa, be a woodcutter, and listen to Shiqi's piano sound, which is a comfortable life.

I shook my head and said with a wry smile: "What are you still going to, after I go to Fuzhou, I will put down the sword in my hand." ”

Lin Nan said: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid you won't be able to let it go." ”

I exhaled and didn't speak.

It is true that Zhao Chuanshu will definitely not give up, and in order to find Meng Hanyan, he will definitely come to find me. And the Xuantie Gate, for the Xuantie Order, will also come looking for me. Before I knew it, I had gotten into so much trouble that I shouldn't have walked out of Dongguan Town in the first place. But if I don't go out of Dongguan Town, will I have to nest there for the rest of my life? Dongguan Town is already very close to Hengzhou City, even if I am willing to nest in Dongguan Town, I must be found by Zhao Chuanshu sooner or later.

With a mixture in my heart, I said, "Maybe." ”

Lin Nan said: "Brother Gu, if you are interested, I can accompany you to find the secret of Kaitiangong." ”

I was shocked and said, "Brother Lin, do you know the secret of opening the heavens?"

I practiced the matter of opening the heavens, Lin Nan and the three of them already knew about it as early as when they were in Aoki Town, in addition to being surprised, they thought that the opening of the heavens was a kind of evil sect's internal martial arts, and it was a vicious martial art similar to the bloodsucking old demon, otherwise I would not have that kind of abnormality. Since the time they left Hengzhou, the three of them have been persuading me not to practice Kaitian Gong anymore, saying that it is not beneficial to others or to themselves.

Originally, when Baili disciple advised me, I was still a little hesitant to continue to practice the Open Heaven Gong, but when Shiqi also persuaded me, I finally agreed to her and no longer practice the Open Heaven Gong. All in all, I haven't had any luck for six days.

Lin Nan shook his head and said: "I don't know the secret of the Open Heaven Gong, but I heard that the Western Regions thaumaturgy is chaotic, and there are also exercises that can make the body mutate, if Brother Gu wants to explore, I am willing to go with you." ”

I couldn't help but look at him, and I couldn't say the surprise in my heart, Lin Nan knew more things than I imagined. Since I met him, and all the way to Jingzhou, what he told me about what he saw and heard, in addition to many famous people and sects on the rivers and lakes, was something rare that I had never heard of, as if he had experienced a lot of things and been to many places.

I said, "Brother Lin has been to the Western Regions?"

Lin Nan smiled and said, "I haven't been to the Western Regions before, but I really want to go." If Brother Gu is interested, we can go together, one to see the exotic style, and the other to stay away from right and wrong. Isn't it?"

I couldn't help but be silent again. To go to a foreign country, far away from the Central Plains, is it to stay away from Shiqi?

If it's really to stay away from right and wrong, I really hope to go to Youyun Villa, and I can meet Shiqi every day, right?

Just as I was thinking about it, someone suddenly bumped me on the shoulder, and just as I could react, someone had already passed me.

I couldn't help but glance back at him, and when I saw that he was also looking back at me, I thought I was interested, and smiled at him, which was to accompany him first. He smiled at me in return. Then I turned my head away from him.

Lin Nan said, "What's the matter, Brother Gu?"

I smiled and said, "It's okay, I was hit." ”

I didn't take two steps, I suddenly felt a chuckle in my heart, and suddenly remembered a person in my mind, I quickly turned around, but I could no longer see the figure of that person.

I seem to have seen the man who just touched my shoulder, it seems to be the young man with a knife who begged me for a drink that night in the Qifu Inn. Although the man who hit me just now was not carrying a big knife and his clothes were different from the young man's, his face was very similar to that of the young man with the knife.

Lin Nan also stopped and said strangely, "What's the matter, Brother Gu?"

I muttered, "How can it be so much like ......"

Lin Nan said: "What is so similar?"

I shook my head and said, "It's nothing, the person who just bumped into me, I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I'm not sure." ”

Lin Nan said with a smile: "Brother Gu must have recognized the wrong person, and there were some illusions, right?"

I nodded, not thinking more. I can't think of who that person is, there is a sea of people, maybe I have seen him once, or maybe I really have a delusion.

When I returned to the inn, there were not many pedestrians outside, and after I said goodbye to Lin Nan, I went back to my room to prepare for sleep.

The window in the room was still open, and I hadn't closed it when I walked out of the room, and there was already a lot of rain on the ground below the window.

I hung the shadow chasing sword on the head of the bed, walked to the window, and was about to close the window, when suddenly a slight sound of breaking the air came.

"Huh"

I was so startled that I slammed the window shut without thinking, and at the same time I fell to the ground, but at this moment, I only heard a "poof", and the window above me suddenly broke a hole, and a flying knife shot over, followed by a "duh", and the flying knife was inserted into the wall of the room.

My heart was cold, I rolled on the ground, came to the bed, pulled out the shadow sword, lowered my body, and stared at the window tightly.

But after waiting for a long time, the window did not shoot any more flying knives, but there was a calm. I was in my heart when out of the corner of my eye caught a glimpse of the throwing knife stuck in the wall, with a strip of rag hanging from the end of the knife.

I was a little puzzled, pulled out the flying knife, and saw that the cloth was written: Tonight, the locust tree in the south of the city, if it does not come, its life will not be guaranteed.
