Seeing that the seven disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect had left, Li Tianqi and Lu Linlang felt a little relieved.

"What's going on?" Li Tianqi was still confused, because he was so engrossed in the enemy that he didn't notice that he was being controlled by the old man of the Western Regions. He glanced at the old man in the Western Regions, didn't hear an answer, and quickly shifted his gaze to Lu Linlang's face.

Lu Linlang jumped over quickly, "It is estimated that this old-timer performed a strange technique called pulse control, so he controlled your hands and feet and drove them away." ”

"Is that so?" Li Tianqi turned his head to look at the old man from the Western Regions.

The old man's hand holding the pipe suddenly trembled, and a bloody arrow erupted from his mouth, soaking the placket of his chest.

"Senior!" the two shouted in unison.

The old man of the Western Regions trembled and took out a small bottle, poured out a green pill from it, put it in his mouth, and then continued to breathe his luck, and only slowly opened his eyes after a while.

He found that Li Tianqi and the others had not left, but were standing left and right to protect the Dharma for him, and he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.

The old man of the Western Regions said: "You two babies, you have a really good heart, you have been used by me, and you are willing to stand here to protect the Dharma for me, well, it's rare." ”

"Is the senior injured?" asked Li Tianqi.

"Since you are so pure, it doesn't hurt to tell you, indeed, the old man was seriously injured, so he came here, and he thought that he couldn't escape far, but who knew that he met you, and the old man's skills can also control the internal strength in your body, so it is ......"

"It's the pulse control. Lu Linlang interjected.

The old man of the Western Regions nodded.

So that's the case, Li Tianqi and Lu Linlang have understood at this time.

"I said why we suddenly landed and couldn't take a step, and I actually hit the man with one move, but I haven't even learned a point. Li Tianqi sighed.

"Seniors, why are they ......" As soon as Lu Linlang's words came out, he was stopped by Li Tianqi.

Li Tianqi shook his head at Lu Linlang and signaled him not to inquire about other people's privacy.

"Senior, since this matter is over, then we will also retire, senior, take care. Li Tianqi suddenly thought that he was still burdened with heavy responsibilities, so it was better not to intervene in the disputes of the Jianghu people at will.

Lu Linlang also understood Li Tianqi's thoughts at that moment.

"Wait. The two people who were about to leave turned around when they heard this.

"Aren't you curious?"

"It's not easy for us to get into other people's secrets. ”

"Hehe, what does the old man want to tell you?"

"This ......" There are such weirdos in this world.

"It's okay to tell you, you're no match for the old man anyway. The old man of the Western Regions took out a black thing from his arms and said with a smile: "It is precisely because of this." ”

Li Tianqi's eyes widened, this black stone seemed to be familiar, it was black, and it was full of small holes. He involuntarily reached out and clapped his palm three times, and sure enough, the black stone glowed purple.

The old man's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the black stone into his arms, "Boy, you ...... How do you know this?"

Lu Linlang also stared at Li Tianqi with wide eyes, obviously she didn't know why Li Tianqi understood this.

"Senior, about this black stone, the younger generation remembers that it is in the hands of a purple-robed masked man, but he doesn't know it...... Why did it end up in your hands......" Li Tianqi asked in surprise, he didn't want to explore other people's privacy, but at this moment he found that this black stone was actually the one he had seen before, and that black stone had already fallen into the hands of the purple-robed masked man? Why is it in the hands of the old man in the Western Regions at this moment, the things in this world are too wonderful, and the two places are far apart, is there a providence in this darkness? Why do you always bump into this stone?

"Do you actually know that this thing is on the purple-robed person?" The old man of the Western Regions was also surprised, and his expression became a little nervous.

Li Tianqi briefly told the old man of the Western Regions about how he encountered this stone.

"Oh, I see, the old man thinks you're on the same road as them. The old man of the Western Regions secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He once thought that Li Tianqi appeared in front of him on purpose, and it was also to plot this black stone, and when he heard him say this, he also put his mind at ease.

"Senior, what is the use of this black stone, why do so many people want to rob it?" Li Tianqi asked puzzled.

The old man of the Western Regions said: "Because this is related to the Five Spirit Beads. ”

"Five Spirit Beads?" Li Tianqi and Lu Linlang asked at the same time.

"Hmm. The old man of the Western Regions nodded and said: "It is rumored that one of the five spirit beads in the rivers and lakes is locked in a grotto made of meteorites that fly from the sky, and the gods and demons in the grotto cannot be opened, and the grotto only has a black stone that will emit purple light to open, it is said that the wood spirit bead is sealed in Shu Mountain, but where it is, outsiders do not know, but the ghost of the elder who guarded this black stone some time ago suddenly disappeared, and the black stone is also missing. And the black stone that the old man took was obtained from the purple-robed masked man, this person has a mysterious ability, and has a deep knowledge of magic, the old man is not his opponent, and he almost died. But he was also seriously injured as a result. ”

The old man of the Western Regions had slowly stood up at this time, he was not tall, and he was on a par with Li Tianqi, which reminded Li Tianqi of the shadowless Jiang Yan who stole this black stone.

"Okay, boy, you have a very high level of understanding, and you are a good seedling, but the old man also has something to do, otherwise he can take you as an apprentice. The old man of the Western Regions said.

"Thanks to the compliments of my predecessors. Li Tianqi arched his hand.

"Then let's see you again. The old man also had to find a secluded place to heal his wounds. When the words fell, the old man of the Western Regions had already jumped into the air, and in just an instant, he had disappeared from the field of vision of the two.

"It turns out that this black stone was actually stolen from Shu Mountain......" Li Tianqi muttered to himself.

"It's getting late, let's go back too. Lu Linlang said.

"Hmm. ”

The two of them also set off to leave, leaving only the two lonely torches still creaking and burning.

Just as the torch was about to be extinguished, a figure appeared again, dressed in a purple robe, with his face covered, evidently he saw a little blood stain in the grass on the ground, this man crouched down, put his hand into the blood stain and dipped it, and stood up again.

"Hmph, don't think you can escape from me so easily. The words fell, and the masked man disappeared into the night wind.

The torches had been extinguished, and the flat ground was once again covered in darkness.

When Li Tianqi and Lu Linlang came to the gate of Suzhou City, they found that a large ** team of Nuo Chang was entering Suzhou City one after another, I am afraid that there are not thousands of people, how can there be so many sergeants entering Suzhou City in the middle of the night?

Li Tianqi pondered for a while, thinking that the master of the Black Fish Hall had mentioned that the prince would settle in Hangzhou City in three days, and he thought that these soldiers were stationed in Suzhou to protect the prince's thoughtfulness.

The two stood outside the city for a while before the team fully entered Suzhou City.

It's ugly time for the two of them to return to the inn in the city.

Since there has never been a suitable opportunity, Li Tianqi did not ask why Lu Linlang was alone at night to explore the Wanhuaxiang Mansion, at this time he just escorted Lu Linlang back to the house, and could no longer help asking: "Linlang, why did you break into the Wanhuaxiang Mansion alone at night?"

Lu Linlang's face turned red, and he lowered his head and said, "Brother Apocalypse, I'm sorry, there are some clues, I'm a little anxious." ”

Li Tianqi looked at Lu Linlang and said, "You are because Wanhuaxiang is my aunt, so you are worried that I have some scruples and go to investigate alone, right?"

Lu Linlang glanced up at Li Tianqi, and lowered his head again, as if his mind had been guessed by him.

"Linlang, we have a common goal, since we have clues, we will investigate together, whether she is my aunt is not the key to the problem, the key is whether she has done something wrong. You don't have to worry about me being short, but you still don't want to go out alone in the future, after all, it's a girl, there is no answer, something goes wrong, how can I ...... Toward...... Confess to Yat-sen. Li Tianqi had never heard Lu Linlang mention her parents, nor did he know the current situation of her parents, and at this point, he was afraid that rashly mentioning it would make her sad, so he couldn't take it for a while with some hesitation, but fortunately, he had an idea and put Lin Yixian out.

"Got it. Lu Linlang nodded, her face turned even redder, but she muttered, "What's the matter with Guan Yixian again." "I thought to myself, to care about me is to care about me, but I beat around the bush and said a lot. Her heart was full of joy. But thinking of this thrilling scene, she still felt a little frightened now, if the boy in the long shirt didn't have something to do with them

Li Tianqi said: "Do you know who that blind woman is?"

"I don't know. Lu Linlang shook his head.

"Actually, I don't know, but according to her, she is a bloodthirsty holy aunt, and she is in the same group as the Immortal Ancestor and the Thunder Flame Toad Mother. This person is extremely powerful, and our skills are far from hers. With her guarding the Ten Thousand Flowers Mansion, we won't be able to go in and investigate anyway, but will further startle the snake. ”

"Then what should we do?" Lu Linlang asked.

"I'm looking for you, ...... I went to a Yihong Courtyard......" Li Tianqi said this, and he couldn't help but start to have a fever in his ears, and when he heard Lu Linlang's voice, he quickly explained: "I thought you were caught there......"

Lu Linlang saw Li Tianqi's eagerness to explain, and smiled: "Okay, Brother Tianqi, go on." ”

Li Tianqi told Lu Linlang in detail about the discovery that the old bustard was the key contact, he paused and said: "Since my aunt is guarded, then we can quietly enter the Yihong Courtyard again early tomorrow morning and ask the old bustard." ”

"Hmm. Lu Linlang nodded, and suddenly noticed that he was going to Yihong Courtyard, and couldn't help but sigh again......

"By the way, it's also worth noting that the man in the long shirt I met tonight, those people called him the fourth master, and I heard the woman in Tsing Yi accidentally talk about calling him the prince, the fourth master, the prince, a little confused. I don't know where they came from?"

"If you are called a prince, you must be a person in the government, and you are a big official. ”

"Well, that's right, I think I have a chance to find a reliable person who works in the imperial court and inquire, maybe I can determine where they came from. Li Tianqi thought of Yang Wen.

Lu Linlang nodded, still shy.
