The moon shadow is slanting westward, the night breeze is cold, through the fine bamboo, the sound of rustling falls, in the mansion, the paths on both sides are full of dead leaves, and under the reflection of the night, it looks a little dull yellow, which makes people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

Ruoxian shuddered and said in a low voice: "Brother Wuyi, what kind of place is this, how does it feel eerie, shouldn't it be haunted?"

Zhang Wuyi's blood is strong, and he has pure yang true qi to protect his body, so he doesn't feel uncomfortable at all, and he has never believed in ghosts and gods, and he still remembers that when he passed through the hidden village, there were rumors that the village was haunted.

Ruoxian was suspicious, looked a little panicked, and had no memory of it, so he hurriedly took her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Xian'er, I will protect you!"

The two walked lightly, bypassing the path covered with dead leaves, and walked straight to the depths of the abandoned house.

This abandoned house has a total of three courtyards, the courtyards are orderly, separated by vermilion walls, as far as the eye can see, two of them have become dilapidated due to disrepair, but the courtyard in the middle is the most complete.

Suddenly, there was a "boom" sound in the distance, which was very soft, but it was very clear in the silent night.

"There's movement!" Zhang Wuyi heard that the voice was coming from the courtyard in the middle, and hurriedly pulled Ruoxian to flash behind the rockery on the side, and then secretly observed.

After about half a cup of tea, Zhang Wuyi gathered his eyes and saw a figure coming out of the courtyard, and the sound of "hooh" was that he was locking the gate of the courtyard.

Zhang Wuyi thought to himself: "Strange? This place has been deserted for a long time, how can anyone still come? Look at that person's movements, sneaky, is there any ulterior secret here?"

The two of them held their breath and stared at the man motionlessly, after the man came out of the courtyard, he locked the door behind him, and only quietly left after confirming that it was correct, only to see that he walked lightly, steady as flying, and disappeared from the sight of Zhang Wuyi and Ruoxian after a while.

Ruoxian pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Brother Wuyi, are you familiar with that person's figure?"

Zhang Wuyi also felt that this person's figure was extremely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

When the man walked away, Ruoxian glanced at Zhang Wuyi, and then the two quietly came to the courtyard where the mysterious man walked out.

After approaching, Zhang Wuyi touched the iron lock on the door, and said with a slight frown: "Xian'er, no, the door here is locked, and it can't be opened, if you use strong words, I'm afraid it will make a sound, and then it will be troublesome to alarm others!"

Ruoxian took a look, as Wu Yi said, this big iron lock was hung horizontally above the gate, roughly estimated, there was a weight of dozens of catties, and it was definitely not possible for human power to forcibly break it, if it broke the door and went straight in, it was not impossible, but in this way, the noise was too big.

After hesitating for a moment, Ruoxian suddenly had a flash of inspiration, pulled out a Zhu Hai from her head, and saw her smile mysteriously at Zhang Wuyi, and then split Zhu Hai into two, and used one of them to aim at the lock cylinder for a while.

After a long time, I only heard a "click", and the big iron lock was opened.

Zhang Wuyi was inexplicably surprised, and praised: "Xian'er, you are so amazing!"

Ruoxian snorted and said proudly: "What's this, the powerful one hasn't been taken out yet!" Previously, Ruoxian secretly escaped from the Black Wood Cliff and went to Jiaxing alone to find Yu Ban's whereabouts, and mixed in the beggars along the way.

After unlocking, the two pushed the door in, the action was very light, and at the same time, the two of them were always vigilant, just imagine that this place is abandoned all the year round, deserted, and someone will come and go in and out late at night, no need to guess, there must be some unknown secrets here.

In the courtyard is a small bamboo building, pure and chic, elegant and beautiful, look at its style, like a study.

Ruoxian wondered in her heart: "Is there still a person living here?" The small building is different from other places, there is no sense of dilapidation at all, on the contrary, it is clean and dusty, and there are all kinds of orchids planted in front of the small building.

"Let's go, go in and have a look!" Ruoxian made up her mind to find out.

So, the two of them first knelt down in front of the building and listened carefully, and only after confirming that there was no movement did they push the door and walked in. As soon as I stepped in, I felt a smell of ink, but I saw a desk not far away, and the four treasures of the study room were all available on the desk.

Ruoxian muttered: "This is really a study" and then puzzled, and said to himself: "That person left the courtyard, obviously he also came here, but what is the purpose of his here?"

After Zhang Wuyi heard this, he answered: "Maybe that person came here to read and learn calligraphy?"

Ruoxian shook his head and said, "Brother Wuyi, if it were you, would you run to this abandoned mansion in the middle of the night to read and learn calligraphy?"

"This ......" Zhang Wuyi was speechless for a while, and after thinking about it, he found that Ruoxian's words were quite reasonable, and if he said so, no one would get up in the middle of the night to read and practice calligraphy, not to mention that this is still an abandoned and deserted house.

"Then why is he here?" Zhang Wuyi was very confused.

Ruoxian approached the desk, carefully looked at the four treasures of the study on the desk, and found that the inkstone was almost dry, and the tip of the brush had also hardened, obviously not used for a long time, which just confirmed what he thought before, this person came here for another purpose.

Just when Ruoxian was shocked, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the position of the inkstone that looked a little strange, it stands to reason that the inkstone should be placed in the middle, but the one in front of him is different, and it is reversed.

Curious, Ruoxian stretched out his hand and stepped forward, wanting to pick it up and take a closer look, but this contact, Ruoxian was taken aback, the square inkstone was tightly buckled on the desk, how could he not pick it up, after trying twice, Ruoxian's eyes suddenly lit up, no longer trying to pick it up from the desk, but rotated left and right.

In this way, it really made Ruoxian hit crookedly, and after the inkstone was twisted halfway to the right, the bookshelf behind the desk was instantly flipped over, revealing a corridor.

"Brother Wuyi!" Ruoxian exclaimed, and then walked in with Zhang Wuyi.

The corridor is not long, about ten zhang or so, at the end of the corridor is actually a secret room, the door of the secret room is hidden, and there is a faint light.

The two glanced at each other, and then walked into the secret room without hesitation.

Zhang Wuyi and Ruoxian entered the secret room with their front feet, and an old voice immediately sounded on their back feet: "Jiang Liuxiang, I advise you not to bother, I won't tell you where Tiemuling is......"

Zhang Wuyi and Ruoxian looked at each other, but saw that it was an old man who spoke, unkempt and with his back to the two.

Ruoxian is so smart, as soon as the old man said this, he had vaguely guessed a bit of the truth, and the figure he met outside must be Jiang Liuxiang Undoubtedly, but who is this old man? Why was Jiang Liuxiang locked up here?

Zhang Wuyi heard that the old man mistook the two of them for Jiang Liuxiang, and hurriedly explained: "Old man, you misunderstood, we are not the head of Jiang......

The old man was obviously shocked when he heard this, and immediately became furious, turned around and scolded: "Fart, let go of your mother's shit, what kind of family is he Jiang Liuxiang?

Zhang Wuyi didn't know why, he was scolded by the old man for some reason, he was angry in his heart, and said, "Why are you scolding?"

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and sneered: "Doll, don't think I don't know, Jiang Liuxiang sent you here, right? Hmph, if the hard one doesn't work, the soft one will come? You go back and tell the surnamed Jiang, and the old man won't fall for him!"

Zhang Wuyi was angry and wanted to defend himself, but was interrupted by Ruoxian: "I have long heard that the Iron Fist Invincible Ximen Leopard Ximen Old-timers are jealous and hateful, and they have a hot temper, and they really live up to their reputation when I see them today!"

Zhang Wuyi was shocked when he heard this, and blurted out: "What? Xian'er, you said that this old man is the head of the Iron Fist Sect, Ximen Leopard? How is it possible? Isn't he Jiang Liuxiang's master? How could he ?......?"

Ruoxian smiled and said: "Silly brother, I told you a long time ago that I know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, so Jiang Liuxiang is deeply hidden, how can he be a simple character? I think the reason why he locked up Ximen's predecessors here must be for what kind of iron and wood order!"

Zhang Wuyi was stunned for a long time, and then said: "No, I heard those servants say that although the predecessors of Ximen Leopard are in retreat, they still go to take care of their daily life, and they can see them almost every day, if this old man is Ximen Leopard, then who is the person who is meditating?"

Ruoxian smiled mysteriously and said, "It's not difficult, you just need to find someone to disguise yourself, or find someone with a similar appearance to replace you!"

Zhang Wuyi said: "It is still possible to be similar in appearance, but how can you talk and behave, and how can you not show your temper and personality at all?"

Ruoxian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Wuyi, have you ever seen that Ximen leopard outside?"

Zhang Wuyi shook his head, saying that he had never seen it.

Ruoxian said: "Isn't this it, I think the Ximen Leopard outside only needs to come out and show his face once at the right time, and the rest is handled by Chu Liuxiang, how can he show his feet like this?"

Zhang Wuyi suddenly realized after hearing this, but he didn't understand, why did Jiang Liuxiang calculate his master like this?

When the old man heard this, he laughed and said coldly: "What a stealing day, a good one coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, what a good apprentice of the old man......" At this point, he seemed a little helpless and desolate.

Ruoxian thought for a moment and said solemnly: "Senior Ximen, please rest assured, the two of us were not sent by Jiang Liuxiang, but because we felt that something seemed to be quite wrong here, so we broke into this abandoned mansion in the middle of the night and came here by mistake." ”

When Ximen Leopard heard this, he laughed strangely, and then said sharply: "Doll, is it so easy for you to be an old man?" Jiang Liuxiang only left on the front foot, and you came on the back foot, if it wasn't for his secret instructions, how would you know that I was locked up here?"

Zhang Wuyi was very anxious in his heart, he had always been clumsy, and he didn't know how to convince the other party at this time.

Seeing this, Ruoxian suddenly took out a jade pendant from his arms and said, "Senior Ximen, what do you see here?"
