Li Yuanchen put down the half-eaten chicken leg in his hand, wiped the oil on his mouth, and quietly looked at Sun Qiao'er, who was not thinking about tea and rice, with a sad face. Sun Qiaoer held her cheeks with one hand and chopsticks in the other, and held them empty, not picking up vegetables for a long time.

Li Yuanchen swallowed the remaining chicken in his mouth, took a sip of tea, and said, "Qiao'er girl, if you don't eat again, I will finish the meal, hahaha." Sun Qiao'er was indifferent and ignored him.

Li Yuanchen said again: "Miss Qiao'er, we can reach Wanling Mountain in less than three days." ”

Sun Qiao'er sighed and said, "Three days, three days—there's still a lot of way to go." ”

Li Yuanchen said: "Miss Qiao'er, don't worry, you will walk through Lujiagou tomorrow, and the road behind will be easy to walk, maybe you will be able to reach Wanling Mountain in two and a half days." ”

Sun Qiao'er was still frowning, and muttered, "Could it really be him?" ”

Li Yuanchen asked curiously: "The more you look at it, the more it looks, did Miss Qiao'er meet an acquaintance?"

Sun Qiaoer put down the chopsticks in her hand and leaned forward, and Li Yuanchen also leaned forward, as if they were discussing such a secret matter in private.

Sun Qiao'er said: "I seem to have seen Qi Ying'er on the road......"

Li Yuanchen said: "What?

Sun Qiao'er said: "Today, when we walked through that Lu He Alley, I seemed to see him. ”

Li Yuanchen stepped back, clasped his hands on his chest and said, "Impossible, Little Brother Qi and the big guys should have arrived at Wanling Mountain early." ”

Sun Qiao'er said: "I think so too, but that person's back is really similar, and the more I look at it, the more it looks like it, but it's just ......"

Li Yuanchen said: "It's just what?"

It's just that although the man's back is very similar to him, his sword is not Ying'er's. ”

"What kind of sword?"

"The dark red sword, very ordinary, nothing special. ”

"Oh, swords like that are indeed common. Li Yuanchen paused and said, "Why did Miss Qiao'er come forward to take a closer look?"

Sun Qiao'er's face turned crimson, remembering that she had recognized a lot of people along the way and made a lot of embarrassing things, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, he must have arrived at Wanling Mountain, let's hurry up." She looked at the dishes on the table, except for one chicken leg that she remembered, and the others barely moved, and said, "Oh, Uncle Li, why don't you eat it?"

Li Yuanchen said: "It's the Qiao'er girl who didn't eat, but I haven't stopped talking." Even if I'm a pig, I can't finish eating so many dishes, not to mention that in the morning, I had discussed that you would eat two steamed buns, and I ate four steamed buns, but later I ate ten baskets by myself. ”

Sun Qiao'er covered her mouth and smiled: "It's all to blame Uncle Li for your big appetite, but don't say it, I always thought you didn't have enough to eat, so I ordered more." ”

Li Yuanchen also smiled: "But Miss Qiao'er really didn't eat a bun, it all went into my stomach." ”

Sun Qiao'er said: "I can't eat it." ”

Li Yuanchen added a piece of fatty chicken and put it in Sun Qiao'er's bowl: "People are iron, rice is steel! Only when you are full can you have the strength to go on the road, if Miss Qiao'er doesn't eat again, we won't be able to leave today." ”

Sun Qiao'er smiled and said, "Okay, good, I'll eat! Uncle Li, you can eat too!" The two of us ate all the dishes on this table. ”

"Good. ”

The two were eating, drinking, talking and laughing, and there was really no food left on the table, Sun Qiaoer patted her stomach and said, "I feel like I haven't eaten so much for a long time." ”

Li Yuanchen also patted his belly and said with a smile: "The girl's belly is not as big as mine, and she eats less." ”

Sun Qiao'er smiled: "Huh, my belly should be as big as Uncle Li, don't all the people on the road have to look at me like monsters?"

Li Yuanchen laughed and said, "That's it!

The two settled the food money, rested for a while, and then rode on their horses again and went to Lujiagou.

At the end of the Shen Dynasty, I still didn't see where Lujiagou was, and there were barren mountains and dead trees nearby, where it seemed that there were villagers, and if there were goblins, I would believe it.

Sun Qiao'er complained slightly: "Lujiagou, is there really this place?"

Li Yuanchen said: "There should be." I asked the little er, and the little two said that starting from his restaurant, he could see the stone tablet of Lujiagou in less than half an hour on horseback. ”

"But now we've all reached the point where the sun is about to set, and we don't see any stone monuments. Sun Qiao'er was puzzled: "Could it be that Xiao Er deceived us?"

Li Yuanchen said: "What did he lie to us about?"

Sun Qiao'er said: "Who knows." ”

Li Yuanchen said: "Let's go further, if we haven't found Lujiagou yet, let's find a place to rest before dark." ”

"Hmm. ”

The two of them raised their whips one after another, and the two horses galloped up and galloped out of seven or eight miles in one breath. The sun had set, and the two still hadn't found Lujiagou, so they found a bamboo forest and lit a bonfire.

Li Yuanchen said: "Miss Qiao'er, you sleep, I'll guard it." ”

Sun Qiao'er said: "No, Uncle Li, you may still have injuries on your body that have not healed, you have been keeping vigil for the past few days, let me come this time." ”

"But you're a girl. ”

Sun Qiao'er shook her head and said, "It's okay Uncle Li, I can't sleep." ”

"That'...... Then I'll talk to the girl for a while. ”

Sun Qiao'er saw that he didn't want to sleep, so he said, "Okay." ”

But the two faced a bonfire, and they didn't speak for a long time, only listening to the "crackling" sound of firewood.

Li Yuanchen scratched his head, took a wooden stick to tinker with the bonfire, and then said, "That Qiao'er girl, I'll lie down for a while, I'll change your class in an hour." ”

Sun Qiao'er smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Li." ”

Li Yuanchen lay on the ground, except for the sound of firewood burning in the fire, there was only the sound of horses panting from time to time, and he couldn't sleep for a long time.

Sun Qiao'er tilted her head and looked at the night sky from the gap in the bamboo forest. The evening breeze blew on her face, and a strand of hair shadowed her eyes.

Suddenly, he saw a dark shadow running out overhead. She stood up in surprise, and Li Yuanchen also saw the black shadow, and immediately bounced up from the ground.

"Did you see that too?" asked Qiao'er.

Li Yuanchen said: "Well, I am not mistaken, it is a human being, not a bird." ”

Sun Qiao'er sneered and said, "Uncle Li, have you seen it clearly?"

Li Yuanchen looked around and said, "No." ”

"It's not a bird, it's not so fast, fast enough for both of us to see. ”

The two of them spoke loudly, as if they were deliberately speaking to someone else. But there was a strange silence around them, and there was not a trace of other people's breath.

Sun Qiao'er clenched the silver needle in her hand and looked at the darkness vigilantly.

Li Yuanchen said: "Who is sacred? Why are you so timid, and how long do you want to hide?"

Sure enough, a man walked to the left of the two. The man said as he walked: "Your Excellency is so strong that it shocked my heart. ”

Only then did Sun Qiaoer know that Li Yuanchen had actually used the lion's roar technique while speaking, but because he was too close, he was not affected by his internal force.

Li Yuanchen looked at the black shadow, which seemed to be as tall as himself, his body seemed to be stronger than himself, and his shoulders were very wide, as wide as the hat he wore on his head.

Li Yuanchen said: "Your Excellency has won the award! Please report your name, why did you visit the office late at night?"

The man slowly raised his lowered head, and Li Yuanchen and Sun Qiao'er were stunned. He wears a mask underneath his hat. Ghost Mask.

Li Yuanchen was very familiar with this mask, it was he who let himself be deeply poisoned by the purple mist, and it was he who took away Shangguan Linglong's corpse. Li Yuanchen clenched his fists.

Sun Qiao'er will not forget this person, this mask is her nightmare. In the overturned carriage and the dark house, there are only steamed buns with clear water every day...... Her whole body was cold, his hands were shaking, and the silver needle slipped from her hand and stuck on the ground. What is the use of the silver needle in his presence?

The man walked forward slowly, and Li Yuanchen and Sun Qiao'er stood in place, as if they were nailed to the ground, and they didn't make any movements. There seemed to be an invisible hand that strangled them, and they even felt that it became difficult to breathe.

Li Yuanchen said: "You...... What do you want to do?"

The man didn't answer, and there was a terrible whine in his throat, which was his laughter, an evil laugh, like it came from hell.

The man said, "What do I want to do? I just want you to know what you're doing." ”

The blood in Li Yuanchen's body was almost boiling, he was already fully prepared, he thought: One punch must be hit, and the Qiao'er girl must be allowed to leave!

He moved his toes, his strength concentrated on his right fist, and he whispered, "Miss Qiao'er, I'll drag him down, you go quickly." ”

The masked man suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and his laughter was even more mysterious and eerie: "Take a good look around you, where can you escape?"

Li Yuanchen saw that there were many dark shadows in the dead week, even more than the bamboo in the bamboo forest. One by one, these shadows appeared like ghosts.

Li Yuanchen snorted coldly: "Do we need so many people to kill? It seems that you take good care of us." ”

The masked man let out a hoarse laugh in his throat again: "No, it doesn't take so many people to kill you, but you have to be cautious if you are captured alive." ”

Sun Qiao'er's face was pale, she felt that her body temperature was losing rapidly, her eyes became dull, and her mind seemed to fall into a hollow. The man was right in front of him!The ghost mask!He let me go!Who was he?

The muscles in Li Yuanchen's whole body were sore and sore, but he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

The figure slowly approached, enclosing the two of them in a circle.

If you want to escape, it is even more difficult than climbing to the sky.

The bonfire was extinguished, and the bamboo forest was dark. The masked man and the ghostly crowd seemed to disappear into the night.

Li Yuanchen felt a kind of power erupt from his body, breaking through the shackles of the invisible and shadowless hand, and he grabbed Sun Qiao'er. "Let's go!"

But Sun Qiao'er stood on the ground and didn't move, Li Yuanchen's heart suddenly cooled, and he saw Sun Qiao'er's pale face, which was so white that it glowed. Her face was so frightened that she couldn't even shed tears. He felt her hands cold, and there was not a trace of body temperature.

Li Yuanchen knew that he had missed the best opportunity to escape, he let go of her hand, turned to the unknown darkness, and yelled: "Come on!"

He threw himself into the darkness!

Sun Qiao'er could hear the "whirring" of his fists and his roar. She seems to be asleep in her body, and she can't wake herself up no matter what, even if she runs away!

Li Yuanchen's roar disappeared.

She felt the chill bite at her like a wolf, and she felt no pain, only deep fear.

A tall black figure appeared in front of her, she didn't have to look up, she knew that when she looked up, she would definitely see the ghost mask.

She still looked up after all, but she was wrong, what he saw was Li Yuanchen. Li Yuanchen's neck was held by a black hand, his head tilted to the side, he died?

Sun Qiao'er wanted to scream, but she couldn't even scream, and Li Yuanchen's body fell to the ground with a bang. She saw the ghost mask beneath the hat, the master of each of her nightmares.

He lowered his head and looked at Sun Qiao'er. From behind his terrifying mask, two eerie green lights shot out. But then the green light dimmed, softened, and then faded away.

Sun Qiao'er was dizzy and fell down. The masked man reached out and grabbed her, carrying her on his shoulders as he had done ten years earlier. He sighed, and the other dark shadowmen ghostly vanished. Only one black shadow man also carried Li Yuanchen and followed him.

The Shadow Man's pace was very slow, and he kept a three-foot distance from the Hatholder, never exceeding a single point.

The hat-bearer continued walking, but the Shadow Man suddenly stopped, then turned and ran in the opposite direction. The Black Shadow Man disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest like an arrow shot from a full bow.

The hat-bearer turned around unhurriedly, and with a flash of green light in his eyes, he blocked the path of the black shadow man.

The shadow man snorted and laughed, and immediately changed his body and jumped into the air, as if he had wings on his back. The man just snorted, leaving an afterimage on his body, but the person appeared above the black shadow man's head, and the explosive force surprised the black shadow man. The hatper kicked the shadow man in the air, and the shadow immediately drew a shining sword from his waist to force him to move his foot away.

Who knew that the hatsman not only did not withdraw his feet, but increased his strength and rose to the sword. The Shadow Man didn't expect the Hat-Man's foot to shake his sword open, bounce it at him, and knock him down.

The black shadow man could stabilize his body, carrying such a strong man as Li Yuanchen on his back, he could still fly as light, fell to the ground, did not stop for a moment, and immediately ran elsewhere.

The hateman's legs wrapped around a pillar, and with a flick of his hand, two ropes flew out of his cuffs, illuminated and shot towards the shadowman's feet.

The shadow man heard the wind behind him, and gripped his sword, trying to shake the rope open. Unexpectedly, the sword was entangled in the rope, like a vine around a tree, sticking to it. Feeling a pull, the shadow man could only let go of the sword, and the sword was pulled back by the rope, and he continued to run.

A silver light fell behind him, and the sword that was taken away by him shot in front of him in a blink of an eye, and a sword pierced the bamboo, and the bamboo burst, splitting in two and falling.

The hat man said three feet behind the stage: "One more step, there is such a bamboo!"
