Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Dilemma

I looked at the strip of cloth on the throwing knife, and my heart gradually sank. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Who will it be?

It seems unlikely, if it is the Xuantie Gate, it will come directly to the door, why bother to pass the book with a flying knife, and it can't be the Giant Eagle Gate.

But apart from the grudges between these two sects and us, I can't think of any other sect that we can't get by. Or maybe it's not a member of the sect.

I suddenly remembered the young man with a knife on his back I met in the Qifu Inn, could it be that he was the one who just hit me on the shoulder? If it were him, I would have nothing to fear, I was afraid that it was not him. But if it was really him, what did he mean by sending me a message? Or did he find the traces of the Xuantie Gate and wanted to warn me?

I'm a little confused, who will it be?

If I don't go, will my life be lost? Just from what is written on the strip of cloth, I can't tell if the person who released the dart has malicious intent.

I pulled the knife out of the wall, it wasn't deep into the wall, but the tip of the knife was stuck in the wall, and if this person wanted to disadvantage me, then he wouldn't have done it so lightly.

I shook the Shadow Chasing Sword, maybe this person really wanted to help us. He may really have something important to tell him about this, or he may know the traces of the Xuantie Gate and the whereabouts of the Xuantie Order.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to go to the locust tree in the south of the city. There is indeed an old locust tree outside the south of the city, not far from the city gate, when we came to Jingzhou City, the road passed by the old locust tree. Jingzhou is strong and strong, and there are many soldiers defending the city, if there is really danger, I can also run back to the city in time.

Calculate the time, and it's almost time at this time.

I got dressed, put the shadow chasing sword on my back, went out to the back room of the inn, found a bundle of hemp rope and wooden sticks, went out of the back door of the inn, ran along the dark streets and lanes, and ran towards the south gate. Jingzhou city gate closed very early, once the city gate is closed, if you want to come in, you can only climb over the city wall, and the city wall is six zhang high, I can't use the internal strength now, I can only climb over the city wall with the help of hemp rope.

Jingzhou City is not as loose as Hengzhou City, and there are several teams of officers and soldiers patrolling back and forth in the city, and the guards are very tight. The gates of the city were closed, but there was no curfew in the city, and the rich children were still having fun in the buildings, while the ordinary people had closed the doors and gone to sleep.

I carried the shadow chasing sword on my back and the hemp rope and wooden stick on my back, and I felt like a thief when I ran through the dark alleys. However, I walked through the dark alley, and the officers and soldiers patrolling could not patrol here.

Avoiding the eyes and ears of the patrol officers, I made a few turns in the dark alley and came under the southern wall. I tied the hemp rope between the sticks, and threw it at the battlement, and the sticks passed through the battlements, and I pulled them again, and the sticks stuck horizontally between the two walls.

In fact, even if my internal strength is restored, if I want to climb over the city wall, I still have to rely on a rope to climb over, and when the qi in my body is running, the height of my vertical jump is only a certain high, and I can't climb the city wall at all. If my body is abnormal, I may be able to leap over, but the mass of qi in my body has stopped functioning, and I am staying in the dantian with a dead breath, unable to raise the slightest internal strength.

Carefully climbing over the wall, I put the rope and stick at the foot of the wall, and ran towards the locust tree.

The old locust tree was not far from the city gate, and half a mile away, at the foot of a small hill, and I walked for a while before I saw the locust tree in the distance.

When I was still some distance from the old locust tree, I stopped and crouched in the grass to look over there.

It was raining in the dark night, and I couldn't see what was under the locust tree, and I could only see the shadow of a tall tree. I squatted for a moment in the grass and walked towards the locust tree.

The surroundings were very quiet, and only the sound of rain hitting the green grass could be heard. Just as I was about to approach the locust tree, I heard a small voice from the other side of the locust tree: "Who is coming?"

This man's voice was a little familiar, and I said, "Who are you there?"

I still can't figure out who the other person is, so it's better to be careful, and if I hear something wrong, I'll turn around and run without hesitation.

At this time, the voice came again: "Is it Gu Tian?"

This voice is too familiar, but I can't remember whose voice it is, it's not Ma Qianli's, it's not Zhao Chuanshu's, I vaguely feel that it was said by someone who is very familiar with me.

I said, "It's right down." Who is Your Excellency?"

Suddenly, a figure jumped down from the locust tree, and the man landed on the ground and walked quickly towards me.

My heart was cold, and my hand rested on the hilt of the Shadow Chasing Sword, and when this person was not good for me, I drew my sword and stabbed it.

Before the man could reach me, he suddenly shouted, "Sixth!"

My body trembled violently, and I took a few steps forward, and I met the man, and it turned out to be Senior Brother!

I couldn't see the appearance of the senior brother clearly in the dark, but this frame, and the familiar voice, was it not the senior brother or who was it?

My eyes were wet.

Senior Brother ran to me and paused, grabbed my shoulder suddenly, and said a little choked: "Sixth, it's really you!"

My tears couldn't stop flowing, and I also grabbed my brother's arm tightly, and I had a lot of things to say in my heart, but a thousand words came to my mouth, but they only converged into one sentence: "Senior brother." ”

All the doubts and worries in my heart were put aside, and I just wanted to gather all the grievances in my heart in my hands, and I grabbed the senior brother tightly, and I didn't want to let go again. It wasn't long since we were separated, but it was as if I had experienced many years. Grabbing Senior Brother's arm at this time, I suddenly felt that I was still a disciple of the Iron Sword Sect, as if I had never been separated from my senior brothers.

Perhaps, I have never left the Iron Sword Sect.

It's just a momentary parting.

After a long time, the senior brother wiped his eyes and said, "Sixth, how are you doing recently?"

I still didn't come to my senses, so that I couldn't stop crying when I spoke, and said, "Senior brother, I'm doing well, senior brother, how are you doing?"

The senior brother smiled: "It's all right, we are worried about you every day, for fear that you will be caught by decent people." ”

I smiled and said, "Senior brother, it's good to see you. ”

Brother I don't know, I have almost lost my life several times these days, and now it is a very fortunate thing for me to see Brother Senior Brother again.

The senior brother said: "We miss you very much, but we don't know where you are, and we can't find you if we want to find you, which really makes us easy to find for a while." ”

Looking for me? I was a little stunned, and I felt a little strange in my heart. I was expelled from the sect and was regarded as a member of the Demon Sect, what did Senior Brother ask me for? Isn't Senior Brother afraid that Master and Master will know about it, and I will also be expelled from the Iron Sword Sect?

I remembered it, isn't Senior Brother in Fuzhou Iron Sword Sect, why did he come here?

I couldn't help but wonder, "Senior brother, what about Master and Master?"

Just as I finished speaking, suddenly, another voice came from the locust tree: "Your master is also looking for you!"

I was shocked, and with a "poof" I pulled out the shadow chasing sword, blocked in front of the senior brother, and said coldly: "Who is it?"

Suddenly, another figure jumped down from the locust tree, but he didn't answer my words, and said, "It's just that your master is here to kill you!"

I was shocked and angry in my heart, even though I knew that the master was angry with me, but when this sentence came out of someone else's mouth, I couldn't help but be annoyed. Senior Brother walked over from behind, patted my arm, and sighed, "Sixth, put away your sword first." ”

I don't know why Senior Brother said this, but I still put the Shadow Chasing Sword back into the sheath, looked at Senior Brother and said, "Senior Brother, what happened?

The senior brother paused and said, "Sixth, you'll know later." ”

At this time, the man under the locust tree had already walked in front of us, and as I guessed, this person was indeed the young man with a knife who begged me for wine that night at the Qifu Inn, and the same person who hit me on the shoulder on the street of Jingzhou City.

This person had already put a big knife on his back again, and then said with a smile: "In Xia Li Xiaoyao, Brother Gu, I was offended before." ”

I was a little surprised, hugged my fists and said: "In Xia Gu Tian, Brother Xiaoyao doesn't have to be polite." ”

Senior Brother patted me on the shoulder and said, "Xiaotian, Brother Xiaoyao is a member of the Ghost Sword Society, and we have just known each other for a short time, so it is all thanks to Brother Xiaoyao's help to find you this time." ”

The Ghost Sword Society, like the Iron Sword Sect, is a small sect in the rivers and lakes, and it is mixed in the area of Xingyuan Mansion all the year round, and there are very few disciples in the Ghost Sword Society, and there are not more than half of the disciples of the Iron Sword Sect, so it can be said that it is a sect that is even smaller than the Iron Sword Sect. However, unlike the Iron Sword Sect, the Ghost Sword Club opened a gambling business, earning unclean money, and the disciples in the door either went to help others collect debts or were collected by others. And the Ghost Knife Society does not belong to the two factions of the good and the devil, but a small gang in neutrality.

Although the Iron Sword Sect is a small sect, after all, it is a decent sect in the rivers and lakes, and it is a sect recognized by the seven major sects in the rivers and lakes, not a gang like the Ghost Sword Society.

How could a senior brother get acquainted with such a person?

I was puzzled and said, "Senior brother, how did you meet?"

The senior brother looked at Li Xiaoyao, and the two suddenly laughed in unison, and when they laughed like this, I didn't understand it even more in my heart. The senior brother said: "I don't know Brother Xiaoyao without fighting, and I met in Tanzhou City." ”

"Tanzhou City?"

Li Xiaoyao smiled: "Yes, it's a long story, let's not talk about it for the time being." His voice suddenly lowered a lot, and said, "Brother Gu, I really have something important to tell you about calling you over this time." ”

I was shocked and said, "What's the matter?"

Li Xiaoyao sang this with the senior brother, I can't guess Li Xiaoyao's thoughts, the original speculation in my heart also disappeared with the arrival of the senior brother, and now my heart is still in the surprise and doubt of meeting the senior brother.

Li Xiaoyao looked around and said very mysteriously: "Brother Gu, are you going to the Shaolin Temple on this trip?"

I was taken aback and said, "How do you know?!"

I was a little dizzy, and I stayed where I was, only to feel a chill behind me. Except for Cheng Fuhai and the four of us, no one should know about going to Shaolin Temple, and Xuantiemen may know.

But how would the people of the Ghost Knife Club know?

I just thought it was strange. We walked cautiously along the way, without talking to anyone, how did this little gang in the market know? When I was at the Qifu Inn, Li Xiaoyao had already found me, and at that time I only said that he was a crazy person.

Could it be that the Ghost Knife was sent by the Xuantie Sect to follow us?

My heart went cold. If we were secretly followed by the Ghost Knife Society all the way, then we would be laughing and generous.

At this time, Li Xiaoyao said: "Brother Gu, this is not the place to talk, you and Brother Zhang come with me." ”
