Nangong Xue flattened her mouth, and said in her heart: "It's rare that this girl is in a good mood and wants to turn enemies into friends with you, and you treat me with this attitude?" But she didn't dare to be too disobedient, so she had to swallow all the words back into her stomach, and followed behind sullenly, thinking for a while: "You are really awkward, did you perform tasks with Miss Chu before, and you were so smiling?" and then thought: "That's right, the mission of their Demon Sect is naturally to kill people, if they still smile and grin all day, there is no such reason." ”

After a few days of this rush, Nangong Xue was exhausted, and she didn't dare to take a break first. This day traveled to a secluded town. Although the town is not in a prosperous area, it is not a poor country, and the streets are desolate and unusually desolate, and it is difficult to see a few pedestrians. The shop is scattered all over the place, and the boss is lying on the counter listlessly, looking around, he is probably alone. Nangong Xue was secretly surprised in her heart, and wanted to discuss with the dark night several times, but finally swallowed it with a bitter face.

Across most of the town, a "Fufeng Inn" appeared in front of him. This signboard is not a century-old store, and the top plaque has also peeled off a large piece of wood paint, and only half of the word "stack" remains. The whole house was dilapidated, with several holes in the wall, and it looked crumbling from a distance. Nangong Xue's legs were sore, and when she saw that the inn was tired, she gently pulled the sleeves of the dark night, and her eyes winked at him pitifully, with a pleading look on her face.

The night died without answering, but his footsteps had automatically turned into the inn. Nangong Xue smiled slightly, feeling a burst of sweetness in her heart. When he arrived at the store, Xiao Er didn't know where to go, only a chubby shopkeeper was left to fiddle with the account book alone, a few stubby fingers did not stop on the worn-out abacus and flicked lightly, and the sound of the beads colliding sounded extremely sluggish, like the bones of an old man who was close to old age.

Nangong Xue couldn't hold back her curiosity any longer, walked up and knocked on the counter, and said, "Shopkeeper, let me ask, what's going on in this town?" Is there a local tyrant and squire who is rich or unkind, or is the king on the nearby mountain often bullying men and women?"

The shopkeeper shook his head with a wry smile, and Nangong Xue said again: "Could it be that the young woman who came here to stay overnight will disappear every night?" At this time, she had changed back into women's clothes, pulled her hair into two braids, and hung loosely on her shoulders, looking fresh.

Dark Night Death walked a few steps to the side with an indifferent expression, distanced himself from Nangong Xue, and rolled up the sleeves of his robe, as if he would get dirty if he got a little closer to her.

The shopkeeper couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "Girl, do you really know how to guess when we make trouble here?" Alas, if you go a few more places, you will understand that this phenomenon is not a special case of our town, and the current situation is unstable, and I don't know when it will be another bloody battle. Ordinary people are afraid of being implicated, so they hide at home, just wanting to live a peaceful life. Nangong Xueqi said: "You said that the situation in martial arts is turbulent, I haven't walked in the rivers and lakes for a long time, can you please explain it in more detail?"

The shopkeeper sighed: "Don't you know about the recent disaster? The Huashan faction was attacked by the demon sect demons, and almost all of them were wiped out, and the head of the sect, Meng Lao Yingying, is not an opponent, I heard that the first son of Huashan deliberately avoided the serious when he was arraigned, and the injury of the head of Meng may be much more serious......

Nangong Xue was so anxious that tears were about to burst out again, and she said in a low voice: "My master...... My Master...... I am a subordinate of Huashanmen, and I just got the news about this matter, and I am about to rush back to Shanmen to settle the aftermath, my senior brother...... Plum...... Li Daxia, the leader of the martial arts alliance, he should have only passed for a short time. ”

The shopkeeper said, "Martial Arts Alliance Master?" If it is just a faction in Huashan, then it will not endanger everyone in the rivers and lakes, and all the big factions of the mountain sect that have some fame have been hit hard by demons recently, and the first to bear the brunt are Kunlun and Diancang! The Kongtong faction has long been like a plate of scattered sand, and after this attack, I don't know how many people can survive, and a well-known sect has collapsed like this. If you want to say that the Demon Sect does things, it is really thorough enough! What is strange is that they only find the head of one faction in their quest for revenge, and they turn a blind eye to the younger disciples, or they disdain to use force against them. is the only one who knows all aspects of the Huashan faction, and I don't know how much hatred the two factions have against each other, and they almost wiped out the whole house when they were killed, which is really pitiful!"

The shopkeeper's spit flew and said a lot, and Nangong Xue only hurriedly asked, "That murderer, what does he look like?"

The shopkeeper said, "I heard that he is veiled, and his age should be quite young." Alas, just such a little girl, the heads of the major factions are not opponents, she was beheaded by the sword one by one, she should really introspect, where have you practiced martial arts for so many years? It is difficult for the decent to destroy the Demon Sect! Speaking of the weapons in her hand, it is incredible! That is the all-powerful Martial Arts Supreme Treasure Remnant Sword, which is called the wind and rain, the heavens and the earth, and the omnipotent! Since this treasure has been owned by the Demon Sect, it has been enshrined in the Sword Hall of the Chief Rudder Sacrifice and tempered by the holy fire. This time, the Demon Sect is full-fledged, and it will be used to give Wulin a dismount. Girl, listen to my advice, in the current world, don't go head-to-head with the Demon Sect, or choose to rely on the strong to save your life. ”

Nangong Xue looked at the dark night, but she didn't see him move in the slightest, so she calmed down and said, "You shouldn't say that." If everyone is like you, and only has a negative attitude of staying out of the situation, how can he expect him to be merciful to you civilians in the future, and the forces of the Demon Sect will overwhelm the righteous path? Otherwise, I won't call it the Demon Sect! I, Nangong Xue, firmly believe that evil cannot prevail over ...... good."

The blue tendons on his forehead jumped in the dark night, and he said with a cold face: "Is it enough? Once a woman talks a lot of nonsense, it will be trouble." Don't just talk to him and delay your business. Nangong Xue then remembered that the two of them entered the inn for the purpose of lodging, smiled ashamedly, took out the silver from the pocket, put it on the counter with a dignified yard, and said, "Two upper rooms." ”

The shopkeeper's face was stunned, and he said, "This...... Don't hide it from the guest officer...... The small shop is really a bit difficult...... May I ask you, what is the relationship between you?"

Nangong Xue was confused, and at the same time her face was slightly red, and said strangely: "What are you asking for? Is it related to the hotel?" After speaking, he glanced at the dark night, almost wanting to blurt out that he was friends with him, but he never admitted it to himself alone, and he didn't dare to speak lightly in front of outsiders, so he bit his lip and didn't speak.

As soon as Nangong Xue retracted her gaze, Dark Night Death also happened to look at it, and replied coldly: "It's okay." ”

Nangong Xue was stunned, although she really couldn't tell what she had to do with him, she still felt a little lost when she heard him say it mercilessly. The shopkeeper's eyes widened and said, "It's okay......? Walk in together and say you don't know each other?"

Dark Night Death took a few steps forward and said, "Now that I'm also standing with you, what do I have to do with you?" Then the thumb of his right hand turned to the back of his neck, pointed at Nangong Xue, and said, "She, burden, understand?"

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said with a dry smile: "This ...... That's a bit tricky...... I thought that the two of them were a couple, so even if they lived in the same room, there would be no taboos against each other......" Nangong Xue heard that the shopkeeper regarded her and the dark night as a "couple", and her heart was pounding again. The shopkeeper also felt that this was too much, and hurriedly explained: "And the current rivers and lakes are full of hidden murderous intentions. Let's just say that my small shop, but it's not a peaceful place, the two live together, and if they really encounter accidents, they can take care of each other. ”

Nangong Xue frowned and said: "Listening to your tone, it seems that we are sure to encounter danger? ”

Dark Night snorted coldly: "I said that you old thing, you are really self-sacrificing, just thinking that the guests will take care of each other, and would rather charge less for a room? The board was old, and it spilled dust on him.

The shopkeeper shrunk his neck and said, "Guest officer, the little old man's family is all tied to you, how dare you offend your big customers......?" The small shop has been chartered for a merchant family, but the last room is vacant, I am willing to live in it for you, or take the risk of the boss......"

Nangong Xue said: "You just said that the residents of the town are hiding at home to avoid trouble, but this small shop is not a place where it is full every day, how can those merchants not come early or late, and come to stay at this time?

The shopkeeper said: "The conscience of heaven and earth! When the guests want to come, I have to entertain when they want, and where can I decide? Our shop has a small profit, and it is not easy to do a few big business, which store has been kicked in the head by a donkey, and pushed the customers out of the door? You also know that businessmen, many times, in order to make money, they can die without their lives, and their net worth is rolled out on the tip of a knife. Can you just grieve for one night?"

Nangong Xue frowned, shook her head reluctantly, and said to the dark night: "What do you think? I really don't want to and don't have to force it, or we will go to live elsewhere, anyway, he is not the only inn in this town." ”

Dark Night didn't look at her, and said lightly: "I have no opinion." He walked to the counter and put away the half-price room price, and said, "Why bother? I want a room." ”

The shopkeeper was as happy as pie fell from the sky, and said happily: "Good! Haha, I didn't say anything, two guest officers, go this way. As he spoke, he laboriously moved out from behind the counter, nodding his head and leading the way.

The night silently followed, still not looking back. Nangong Xue's heart was up and down, and she was puzzled by the reaction to the dark night. Lu Qian is lustful, and he always has intentions for himself, and his thoughts are obvious. But the dark night is the opposite, often ignoring her, cold to the extreme, Nangong Xue often thinks that he is very disgusted with himself, this time in addition to shock, there is also some vague joy, and I feel that the estrangement between him is not irreversible. Thinking about the two of them in the same room, my cheeks couldn't help but turn red and hot.

The shopkeeper personally cleaned the room, made the mattress, bowed thoughtfully, and retreated with a spring breeze on his face. Nangong Xue waited for him to go downstairs, turned around and closed the door, plugged in the latch, and hesitated to ask about it, but he didn't dare to speak, and walked around the room, wandering. Dark Night died and sat down on the chair facing the first seat in the room, and said impatiently: "Don't dangle in front of my eyes, make me dizzy." ”

Nangong Xue pretended to be aggrieved and said: "You don't want me to say it, you see, I'm obedient enough, right?" Something to say. Nangong Xue took a deep breath, stood opposite his seat, swiped her fingers along the lines of the tabletop, and said in a low voice: "I have a bold conjecture." Do you think the masked girl that the store is talking about...... Is that Monlin?"

Dark Night turned around, his two fingers pointed out like lightning, stopped a few inches in front of Nangong Xue's eyes, and said coldly: "I tell you, you are not allowed to talk about Meng Lin in front of me in the future, and you are not even allowed to mention her name." Nangong Xue stared at him in a daze, and said, "I don't understand what you're thinking, just allow yourself to think about her in your heart, everyone can see that you are still holding on to it like a secret......"

"You don't have to understand. Raising his eyelids and glancing at her, his fingers drooped, his elbows and wrists were propped up on the table, and he supported his forehead with the handle of a fan, and said, "If you want to say that I have a strange personality, you might as well say it bluntly." ”
