It's just that the proprietress at this time has been cold. The waist that was originally soft has also become stiff. There was no wind, but it was cold, a bone-piercing cold. In addition to Lu Xingyun's breathing, only the corpse of the proprietress remained.

All around was a wet mist, and nothing could be seen but dark shadows.

Lu Xingyun stretched out his hand and gently wiped it on the proprietress 's open eyes, then got up and disappeared into the vast foggy night.

The fog showed no signs of abating, and seemed to be getting heavier. It's just that Lu Xingyun's mood is even heavier. Not only was the proprietress killed, but the "Mercy Sword" that Lu Xingyun said was also snatched away by an unknown person. Whoever it is, no one will be in a good mood.

Following the way he came, Lu Xingyun walked out of the misty jungle.

The fog outside seemed to be much better than in the jungle. Traces of the road can be faintly seen. Maybe it's because it's getting bright. In spring, the dawn is indeed early.

Lu Xingyun seems to be walking on foot, but he is just ......

Maybe you will feel dazzled, this seemingly non-moving Lu Xingyun appeared in another place in a blink of an eye in this place. The distance between these is only five or six zhang.

Lu Xingyun himself calls it teleportation. Because apart from Lu Xingyun, there is really no one else on the rivers and lakes. In fact, this is Lu Xingyun's unique footwork---- "-Twenty-Eight Constellations Steps".

"Twenty-Eight Nakshatras of the Stars" is a footwork created by Lu Xingyun's master on the basis of a fragment of footwork, according to the twenty-eight constellations in the sky and the trajectory of the four seasons of the twenty-eight constellations. This footwork is like the stars in the sky, unpredictable and boundless.

"Twenty-Eight Stars Steps" is divided into five layers. According to the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four layers corresponding to each other are "Green Dragon Step", "Vermilion Bird Step", "White Tiger Step", and "Xuanwu Step". There are seven smaller steps in each of these four steps. Taken together, it is twenty-eight steps, that is, it corresponds to the twenty-eight nakshatras in the sky. As for the fifth layer, it is called the "Yin and Yang Reincarnation Step".

The basis for practicing this footwork is to have solid and profound internal skills, but more importantly, to have a deep understanding of the I Ching. Both are indispensable. Lu Xingyun has had a strong interest in the Book of Changes since he was a child, not to mention his internal strength.

Although this kind of footwork requires deep internal strength to rely on, it consumes very little internal force. It's only about three or four times more physical energy than walking on a regular day. "Twenty-Eight Constellations Steps" consumes more of the mind, and behind the seemingly chic and elegant, what is hidden is the thousands of changes in the stars in the sky. It takes a great deal of talent to realize the true meaning. Otherwise, even if you get the mental method, you won't be able to practice anything.

Even so, Lu Xingyun is now practicing the "Twenty-Eight Stars Step" to the first level, that is, the "Green Dragon Step". That is, the teleportation in Lu Xingyun's mouth. "Qinglong Step" corresponds to spring, which means that everything is green and vibrant. Therefore, in this spring cloudy and misty weather, it is suitable to perform the "green dragon step". Since the consumption of internal force is not much, it is the best choice for people who are in a hurry. Because, this does not require distraction to deal with the enemy, just use your footwork with your mind.

Lu Xingyun, who performed the "Green Dragon Step", looked very chic and elegant, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze. It's just that no one knows how much attention Lu Xingyun needs to maintain this seemingly elegant footwork. Of course, if you practice to the realm of Qinglong Step Dacheng, you will consume much less mind. When it really comes, it's the realm of moving with your heart. If you want to consume more, you won't be too much. This is nature, and it is also a kind of heavenly way.

Lu Xingyun's purpose in performing "Twenty-Eight Constellations of the Stars" is not just to hurry, but to meditate. During this time, so much happened. Lu Xingyun needs to think about it.

Lu Xingyun, who stepped on the "Green Dragon Step", soon returned to the inn.

At this time, it was still dark, although bright light could be seen.

Lu Xingyun did not enter through the window, but through the main entrance. Because the door of the inn opened very early today, it seems that it was opened for Lu Xingyun.

"Guest officer, you're early. Ah Xiang said to Lu Xingyun while wiping the table, but with a strange look on his face. Of course, this weirdness was pretended by Ah Xiang, in order to dispel Lu Xingyun's suspicions. Because, after all, Lu Xingyun came back from outside.

"Ah Xiang is still a buddy Ah Xiang, but there is no longer a boss lady, and it should never be there. Lu Xingyun said in his heart.

At this time, there was also a person in the inn, drinking wine. This person is none other than the lame Dong Shan. It seems that Dong Shan will never be able to do without wine. But the strange thing is that Dong Shan has no taste of wine on his body.

Lu Xingyun looked at his buddy Ah Xiang and did not speak.

Walk straight upstairs to the Smoke Pavilion.

Standing at the door, Lu Xingyun did not immediately push it away.

After a while, Lu Xingyun seemed to be powerless to push open the heavy door.

It's still the same mess, like last night. The candles on the table had long since burned out, and only a pile of wax pieces remained, as if the tears of a beauty were crystal clear.

Lu Xingyun sat on the edge of the bed blankly.

Just as he pulled open the messy quilt, Lu Xingyun's body sat up straight suddenly, with a shocked expression on his face as if he had seen a ghost.

At this moment, Lu Xingyun's left hand touched a cold metal object. If it were anything else, Lu Xingyun would not have such a big reaction. It's just that this half of metal is nothing else, but the hilt of a sword. Although Lu Xingyun only touched the hilt of this sword, Lu Xingyun could be sure that this sword was the Shui Han Sword. Because, the cold qi on the hilt of this sword only belongs to the water cold sword.

Lu Xingyun hurriedly lifted the quilt, and Shui Hanjian lay there quietly as if he had never left. If it weren't for the fact that the house was so messy, Lu Xingyun really thought he was sleepwalking.

"Who could this be? Could it be him, and he was the only one who told me to leave with the Shui Han Sword. Lu Xingyun thought of the man in black on that snowy night.

"Why did he help me? Is he just a friend? Or maybe there is some other purpose? It seems that this matter is getting more and more difficult!" Lu Xingyun sighed in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, it was already dawn.

Lu Xingyun appeared on the street with the Water Cold Sword.
