Chapter 5 (3)

Li Yijie felt that this matter was very strange, and when he heard the strange words, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and said, "Show me." "I took the handkerchief, and there were really only these eight words on it, but it was written in blood, and the handwriting was clear, as if it was written by a woman, but the pen was sometimes connected, and I thought it was caused by the anxiety in my heart when I wrote.

Li Yijie said: "Could this be a trap? It may be another trap of Lord Cao." Jiang Yanchen said: "Whether it is a trap or not is not known, but that person and the Qing soldiers are not all the way, otherwise there is no need to take such pains to disguise themselves as men, and then take the opportunity of drinking to deliver information." Li Yijie scratched his scalp and said with a wry smile: "Is it so complicated? Or do you think it thoroughly, but now how should we live?"

Jiang Yanchen sneered: "Then let's go, even if she has the ability to reach the sky, what can she do to me?" Nangong Xue was very arrogant when she heard what he said, and she didn't like it in her heart, and said: "Jiang Gongzi still don't be too conceited. Shen Shiyun had been silent since just now, and said at this moment: "No, she has no malicious intent. Li Yijie said: "How can you see it?" Shen Shiyun stared into the distance for a moment and said: "Her eyes just now clearly contained infinite sadness and suppressed a lot of melancholy, I won't be mistaken." The outpouring of emotions from the heart must not be faked. ”

Jiang Yanchen said coldly: "This time is different from the past, walking the rivers and lakes, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable after all." Shen Shiyun was stunned for a moment, feeling that his sharp eyes seemed to shoot straight to the bottom of his heart, his eyes were gloomy, and he smiled miserably. Nangong Xue said in her heart: "Yes, you always guard against us like a thief, and my senior brother treats you with your heart and lungs, when you are a good brother." These words circled around his lips several times, and he almost wanted to rush out, but in the end, the two sides inevitably lost harmony, which made Li Yijie embarrassed, but he still pressed himself.

The outskirts of the city are not so difficult to find, but there is such a desolate place near Chang'an, which is a very stark contrast, but it is not easy. There were waist-high weeds everywhere, and the occasional mountain wind blew, as terrible as a wolf roaring, and like a whimper, and I heard a bit of a chill in the middle of the night. Ancient trees are full of branches, like monsters with teeth and claws. Li Yijie and others inspected all sides and did not find any ambush, so they stepped into the temple.

The temple is also like a silhouette floating on the clouds, although it has been abandoned for a long time, it is still silent and solemn. The main hall is covered with dust, cobwebs are vertical and horizontal, and the murals are mottled and blurred due to the invasion of wind and snow. There is a statue of Goddess of Mercy in the middle, the appearance is dignified and kind, holding a net bottle of willow, the craftsmanship is fine, and the whole body is made of extremely delicate granite. Li Yijie pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand, looked around, and still did not see anything abnormal, Chu Menglin and Nangong Xue stood with their backs to their shoulders, each on guard.

After a while, I heard the sound of clothes rustling in the temple, and a woman of about seventeen or eighteen years old came out from behind the statue, wearing coarse cloth clothes, walked in front of several people, stood upright, put both hands on the waist, bowed her head slightly, and made a "ten thousand blessings" salute. Seeing her appearance, she was vaguely the officer and soldier who came to drink during the day, but now she has washed off the dirt on her face and changed into women's clothes.

Shen Shiyun took out the handkerchief and said, "This is a girl's thing." The woman took the handkerchief and said, "A few people can come as promised, how can the little woman be virtuous, and the heroes of the labor will be driven." It's just that the situation is very dangerous during the day, and if I open my mouth, I am afraid that I will be killed immediately. Li Yijie bowed his head and said: "Why did you go to great lengths to find us here?" He was born with a great disgust for pretending to be a ghost, and felt that everything this woman did was strange, and he never dared to let go of his guard easily.

The woman said: "You all know about this dart escorted by the Jianye Dart Bureau, right? I pretended to be an officer and soldier to follow, and this is also for this. The sand thieves also have the heart to rob, but they don't know the inside story, it is really a bad thing, once this thing comes out, it will surely destroy the living soul and flow like a river of blood. The little woman had seen all of you on the boat, so she dared to ask to stop this catastrophe. ”

Li Yijie groaned: "If it is really so serious, we should help each other, but I don't know what the girl wants us to do?" The woman said: "Rob the dart." She said these two words very seriously, Li Yijie couldn't help but be stunned, and repeated: "Robbing darts?"

The woman bowed slightly, and continued: "Robbing darts is indeed not a good deed, but if you can save innocent people, it is worth it to make small and big." Nangong Xue said: "What is it, why is it so powerful?"

The woman bit her lip, still hesitating about whether she could trust a few people in their entirety. But thinking that since he had already said please, how could he guard against people everywhere, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a sound of "snort" from a hidden weapon breaking through the air, and the woman's face showed a look of extreme horror, and after a while, she fell to the sky. Shen Shiyun ran up to help her, and saw that a dart shaped like a plum blossom was inserted in her neck, and the blood from the wound stained all the clothes on her chest red, and she was already exhausted.

Li Yijie stepped forward to check on her injuries, but she was really unlucky. Chu Menglin looked at the dart intently, and said after a while: "This is the unique secret weapon of the Kongtong faction, called the 'plum blossom dart'. The dart is usually fed with poison, and the middle one dies, and even those who are strong in martial arts cannot last for a few hours. As soon as the words fell, someone heard a long laugh: "The little girl is very discerning, yes, it is the old man." "After that, he jumped from the shadows, and it was the head of Kongtong. After that, a large group of Qing soldiers rushed into the temple, each holding a long knife, and the footsteps outside the temple were noisy, and the small temple was surrounded by water.

Li Yijie raised his sword and said: "It turned out to be your poisonous hand!" The head of Kongtong snorted coldly: "The little thief of the Huashan faction, why hasn't he died yet? I saw my seniors, and I didn't pay a visit?" Li Yijie said angrily: "Who is your junior? Where is this girl hindering you? Do you dare to kill people at the feet of the Bodhisattva, and you are not afraid of being punished by heaven?" ”

Li Yijie took a step forward and said loudly: "Your way? Your way is to get the Remnant Shadow Sword, Broken Soul Tears, and then win the world? There are so many people in the martial arts who have this wish, you want to rely on your own strength and those two vain treasures? You commit the evil act of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors, and the century-old reputation of the Kongtong faction is bound to be destroyed in your hands, and under Jiuquan in the future, what face will you have to see the ancestors of your faction?" What do you know?"

Li Yijie's mind changed for a moment, and he softened his tone and said: "I don't understand, so there is something unclear now, but I have to ask my seniors for advice." The head of Kongtong said: "You say." Li Yijie said: "The whereabouts of the broken soul tears are unknown, and the predecessors are searching tightly." The Remnant Shadow Sword is known all over the world to be in the main altar of the Shadow Sacrifice Sect, why didn't the predecessors attack directly, destroy the Demon Sect in one fell swoop, and seize the sword, which can not only establish a prestige, but also get one of the two treasures, the grand wish has been half realized, why bother to seek the near and far?"

Kongtong said: "This ......" but he only said one word, and he couldn't continue. Every time the people in the rivers and lakes mention the Shadow Sacrifice Sect, they blurt out and curse, but they are really afraid in their hearts. Li Yijie knew that with his identity, he would never want to show weakness in front of everyone, which meant to force him into such an embarrassing situation.

The head of Kongtong actually forced a junior to be speechless in public, and saw that the officers and soldiers in the temple were also inquiring, coughed dryly, and paced slowly, this time he shifted the target, made a flattering demeanor, and arched his hand to Jiang Yanchen: "Jiang Gongzi, don't come to harm, are you going to find out the cause of Senior Brother Ling's death, these two thieves of the Huashan faction are murderers, you quickly kill them with a sword, in order to comfort the spirits of the two heroes in the sky!"

Jiang Yanchen squinted at him and said disdainfully: "That's a matter of this faction, I will deal with it, and I won't bother you to do much." The head of Kongtong was not annoyed, and still smiled good-naturedly: "Okay, let's put aside personal matters for the time being." Why doesn't Gongzi Jiang cooperate with the old man? You and I should conspire together to achieve great things, create amazing achievements, and share the world equally!"
