In other words, Chu and Fu led more than 100 people to Fenglinzhou, passing through Jiangzhou in Xuanzhou, Mozhou and Lingzhou in Yuanzhou, and touring the mountains and rivers all the way. It doesn't feel like you're going to do something important. Among the fellow disciples, except for the older brothers and sisters who rarely wander around, the younger disciples are looking for spiritual materials in groups within the scope of permission. A few people have gained a lot.

Among the crowd, the two people who are particularly conspicuous are naturally Ouyang Xiu and Yue Chen. These two people, Ouyang Xiu is tricky by nature, he doesn't talk in tune, and everyone hates them. Yue Chen was cheerful by nature, but because he was a practitioner of the Fu Gong technique, he was unconsciously inferior, so he deliberately alienated himself from other fellow disciples, but felt that he was closer to this senior brother.

Along the way, although there was no hurry, there was a lot of time flying in the sky. Unconsciously, three full months passed before the disciples of the Chengming Sect rushed to the Feituo Grand Canyon. Feituo Grand Canyon, the path is 999 zhang deep, there is a waterfall that does not know the source in the valley, since there are traces of people, it is surging endlessly, and there is no interruption. To the south of the canyon is Philadelphia, and to the north is Tuozhou. Entering this valley, you will officially step into the boundary of Fenglinzhou.

On June 6, the disciples of Chengming Sect entered the Feituo Gorge and came to the foot of the Yanling Mountains. At this moment, in the hearts of all the disciples, they all began to ponder one thing, why no one told everyone to go to which state, because everyone had been walking together, and no one had asked the two senior brothers in charge, but they just followed silently.

Huiyanling is located in the yin situation, and there is a clear stream not far from the sunny side separated by the small mountains of Kanjiao. Ouyang Xiu's eyes were sharp, afraid that others would go first, so he took the first step to call Yue Chen and walked towards the stream.

The stream is clear, the water waves are slightly curling, and the fish are free to ripple along the water. Birds and finches frolicking at the water's edge, singing happily, and suddenly fluttering and slapping on the water.

The two looked at the water in a daze, and after a long time, Ouyang Xiu said: "This should be a tributary formed by the waterfall! Well, by the way, junior brother, what do you think of this descent from the mountain? I see that you are the only one who is the most nervous along the way." It's as if you're on the lookout for something all the time, so don't you want to be on guard against me again!"

I just couldn't figure out what the brothers were thinking, so I was a little more nervous. Yue Chen said this, but he thought in his heart: "I have already arrived in Fenglin Continent, why don't the two senior brothers in charge tell everyone what they are doing?"

"That's because the surname Chu and the surname Fu haven't received the news yet. As he spoke, Ouyang Xiu cleaned his face, turned his head to look at Yue Chen, and asked, "Do you think that the people who came to Fenglin Continent this time are the only us?"

"Senior brother means that someone from the sect has already arrived in Fenglin Continent?"

"Of course! Not only did people arrive, but there were quite a few. This is called the Ming plank road, and the secret crossing of Chen Cang. However, we have entered Fenglin Continent, and the news should be coming soon. Go back first, see what the two of them say, and then make plans!"

Yue Chen responded, but he admired this senior brother very much in his heart, this senior brother who looked very improper, his heart was always like a mirror, and he saw everything thoroughly. The two turned around, just turned the sunny side to the yin depression, shouted in unison, looked at each other, and no one could speak.

A moment ago, the same door that was still resting here disappeared, as if it had disappeared out of thin air. Yue Chen's face was full of astonishment, and he stood still, Ouyang Xiu stepped forward slowly, and picked up a strip of white cloth from the ground, on which were written the words "Hurry up". Ouyang Xiu sighed, sat on the ground, took off the gourd and poured a few sips, Fang Jue was very happy, beckoned to Yue Chen, and began to drink again. Yue Chen stepped forward quickly and asked, "What did Senior Brother leave behind?"

"No! I guess that after they got the news, they were carried away by the Xuanhuang Xianzhou surnamed Chu! In this way, they have enough reason to throw off our two burdens and go to that bullshit big thing again. Hmph! That's a good intention. Ouyang Xiu was full of alcohol, and said indifferently: "Don't care about this, go your own way." Besides, I know where their final destination is. ”

As he spoke, he got up violently and said very seriously: "Old Thirteen, next, everything will depend on us." In this barren mountain and wilderness, at best, the two of us can only deal with people who have cultivated at the third level and below in the Divine Evolution Realm. So, to be on the safe side, we had to go inside the city before dark. As he spoke, he pointed to the depths of the canyon and said: "Go straight along this canyon, which is Lizhou, Tuozhou in the north, and Feizhou in the south." I guess which people with the surname Chu either go to Philadelphia or Lizhou. We did the opposite and went to Tuozhou. At present, there are no too powerful forces in Tuozhou, and everything is naturally easier to deal with. ”

Yue Chen didn't have an idea, he just nodded heavily in agreement, and he was extremely relieved in his heart, thanks to having such a senior brother by his side.

The two didn't say a word, one used the sword, the other used the talisman, and flew to Tuozhou. There was nothing to do all the way, and at the beginning of the unitary time, I had arrived at the nearest city to Tuozhou - Luocheng. Because when the two of them arrived in Luocheng, it was already golden and the black curtain was gradually falling, so they didn't care about enjoying the scenery along the way, but went straight to an inn to stay in the hotel. Dinner is also delivered directly to the room. Ouyang Xiu did not forget to fill a gourd with good wine.

During the meal, Ouyang Xiu said in a low voice: "Old Thirteen, pay more attention tonight, I don't feel right about the atmosphere in this ghost city." ”

When Yue Chen heard him say this, the chopsticks in his hand gradually slowed, stared at Ouyang Xiu strangely, and asked softly, "Senior brother, what did you call me just now?"

"Old Thirteen!"

Yue Chen was speechless for a while, shook his head and said, "Senior brother, I don't have anything to say with a few senior brothers. In terms of word ranking, how can I be qualified. ”

"Yo!" Ouyang Xiu smacked a few times and said, "What's the matter, you have relied on the backer of Uncle Haojing, is it possible that you are still higher than our seniors?" I should have called you Lao Shi, but after thinking about it seriously, the old man Haoyi was willing to give Xiao Wang the eight-seven winged sword surnamed Huo, indicating that this matter was agreed by Uncle Haojing and my master. In this way, maybe the three of them are not too bad, and they are still better in the ranks. As he spoke, Ouyang Xiu laughed out loud and asked, "Do you know why I suddenly called you that?"

Yue Chen shook his head!

"On the way to Fenglin Continent, I figured out that one of the four swords should be in your hand. If this is correct, I think that the three people in charge of the real person, the master, and the master may have to find the ultimate answer to the Tianjitai in you. When Ouyang Xiu analyzed word by word, he squeezed his eyebrows for a while and said, "Little Thirteen, why don't you take it out and take a look?"

Yue Chen shook his head and said, "No!"

"Haha......!" Ouyang Xiu laughed inexplicably, and said slowly: "I heard that Huo Xuan's evaluation of you is 'jade gold' and 'very special', and now it seems that this is probably true." You have been with me for so long, and I have not been contaminated with bad things, and I have learned some small advantages. For example, this trick of denial kung fu without blushing and heartbeat is already seventy percent hot. ”

Yue Chen just smiled and said nothing, "Is it enough to get along with this intelligent and alert senior brother?"

Ouyang Xiu said again: "Old Thirteen, you know why we came to Fenglinzhou this time?"

Yue Chen still shook his head.

"Alas, it's not a matter for you to go on like this!" Ouyang Xiu said: "Come on, don't say it, after all, since you're here, you will know the truth of the matter after all." ”

During the conversation, the two of them had finished eating. Ouyang Xiu whistled, and after a while, the shopkeeper entered the house to clean up the dishes and chopsticks and settle the meal. Ouyang Xiu saw that it was not the person who delivered the meal just now, but an old man, and asked, "Why, the shopkeeper is afraid that we won't pay for the meal, so he came here in person?"

The old man, who was in his early sixties, turned slightly pale, sighed, and said, "In the past year, there have been many disasters. Due to the collection of Hyun Jing, this small shop lost three young men in vain. The small shop is already profitable, and if you take another life because of a little money for wine and food, it will be a sin. Therefore, every time Hyun Jing is collected now, the old man comes in person, so as not to cause another disaster. ”

Ouyang Xiu listened to the old man's words, and saw that his face was very sad, so he took out more than 200 Hyun Crystals from the Ruyi bag and put them on the table, and said: "Old man, please mourn, these Hyun Crystals should be paid for by me for the wicked people." If my husband is interested, can you sit down and talk in detail and tell me some details? The old man was slightly stunned, and after a moment's pause, he slowly sat down, Ouyang Xiu poured him a full glass of wine, and the old man smiled and drank it all.

"The shop is small and thin, I haven't drunk home-brewed wine for thirty years, but it's really getting more and more sweet!" For a while, the old man was immersed in the aftertaste of the wine, forgetting the two people around him, and after sobering up, he smiled humbly and asked, "The two little guests are from other continents?"

The two nodded slightly, and Ouyang Xiu replied, "We are from Hongzhou!" and poured the old man a full glass of wine.

The old man drank it all again before he said, "Heaven is evil, and you cannot live; Because of some rumors that came out of nowhere, a few families with a little family background in Luocheng were tragically destroyed. For example, the Zhong family in the north of the city was slaughtered because of a rumor of a spirit axe, the Xiao family in the south of the city was full of rumors about three pages of ancient books, and the Xu family in the east of the city and the Wang family in the west of the city. As for the few outside the city, it is even more ridiculous, and nothing has changed. Pity the unkind nature of heaven and earth, and do not favor these good people, and still let them suffer this misfortune. After a pause, the old man continued: "Forgive the old man for his blunt advice, if the two young guests have nothing to do, it is better to leave this city. ”

Ouyang Xiu was silent, and Yue Chen asked, "Old man, who are the murderers?"

However, judging from the iron scale hall that was destroyed in the north of Luocheng City the day before yesterday, I am afraid that it was not the work of those local forces that did not form a climate, but the forces from Lizhou. ”

Ouyang Xiu asked: "Does it mean that the Zhong family in the north of the city was also destroyed the day before yesterday?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Two days early!"

"In this way, the murderer is still in Luocheng, and they have the next move!" Ouyang Xiu took a sip, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and asked, "Uncle, is there a decent gambling house in Luocheng?"

The old man and Yue Chen were speechless for a while, not knowing what he was going to do, and after a while, the old man replied: "Yes, it is on Chengnan Street, ten miles away from the shop, which is the largest gambling house in Luocheng. However, according to the old decay, the two are not alcoholic and gambling people, so it is better to rest early. The outsiders who went in the gambling hall never came out alive. ”

Ouyang Xiu just smiled mysteriously and said, "Thank you for your kind reminder." My two brothers have their own districts. ”

Yue Chen noticed that after Ouyang Xiu mentioned the gambling house, the old man seemed to have a feeling of sobering up and became a little nervous. This matter naturally did not escape Ouyang Xiu's eyes, so he said: "Uncle, please rest assured, my brothers will never set foot in the gambling house for half a step." The old man stared at Ouyang Xiu, began to be silent, for a while, put away the dishes and chopsticks and walked out, and said when he went out: "The young man is an extraordinary person, and the old man admires it!"

However, Yue Chen hadn't turned the corner yet, and after the old man went out, Ouyang Xiu turned off the lights and said in a low voice, "This shopkeeper is his own person." He told us to hurry up and go north of the city, where something might happen. We'll go through the window now, and he'll take care of the rest for us. Yue Chen was confused, he didn't know anything, so he followed Ouyang Xiu out of the inn in a daze and walked towards the north of the city.

When he was three miles away from the inn, Yue Chen couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Nine, how did you find out?" I thought back to your conversation repeatedly, how could I not find the slightest suspicion?"

"That's because you didn't pay attention to his hands and feet, and the sound of his breathing. This ability, learn it slowly, I was also taught many times by the second senior brother before I mastered it. This time, let's remember one thing: for people, there is not only one mouth to speak. As he spoke, Ouyang Xiu suddenly stopped, lowered his voice and asked, "Old Thirteen, in the middle of the night, are you afraid of the dead?"

Yue Chen touched his nose and replied, "Maybe you won't be too afraid, but I'm afraid it will take a little time to get used to it." ”

Ouyang Xiu tightened the sword in his hand and said, "It's not bad! It's stronger than the first time I saw a dead man." Now, thirty miles away, I can ask about the smell of blood. After a pause, he continued: "Little Thirteen, in the future, no matter what you see or hear, you don't care, just follow me." Also, remember the trick I taught you tonight, it might come in handy. ”

Yue Chen nodded slightly, and couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, wanting to reach out and touch the Ruyi bag, but he still held back and followed closely by Ouyang Xiu's side. Seeing that Ouyang Xiu did not shy away from it, he strode down the road. Yue Chen was puzzled, so he asked, "Senior brother, let's just go over like this?" Ouyang Xiu didn't speak, just gestured, and his steps sped up a bit.

The smell of blood and the smell of corpses beginning to decompose came from the night wind, and Yue Chen, who was choking, felt nauseous. At this moment, if you say that you are not panicking, you are really lying to yourself, and your right hand is firmly pressed on the Ruyi bag, not leaving the inch. Within three moments, the two came to the outside of a village courtyard and looked at the courtyard wall, which was indeed not a big deal. The courtyard was pitch black, and the wind blew out, which was terrifying. Ouyang Xiu said softly: "Go to the back door!" Yue Chen then remembered that Ouyang Xiu had a treasure bead that could be hidden at night. I couldn't help but be annoyed: "Why am I so stupid to forget about this." ”

The two entered the courtyard through the back door, bypassed a corridor, and walked straight towards the main court. Yue Chen tried his best to control his eyes to look at Ouyang Xiu, not to see the situation in the courtyard, when he entered the house, he couldn't help but glance out, his heart jumped violently, and he quickly retracted his mind and quieted himself. Ouyang Xiu, who entered the house, scolded: "This group of layman thieves, for the sake of property, is really killing people and goods, digging three feet into the ground, and using the most despicable means in the world, it is simply a destruction of conscience." As he spoke, he lit a fireball to illuminate it, and after looking at it for a while, he lit the wind lantern on the main court door.

Yue Chen took a closer look and found that there was no furniture in this main courtyard, and the main wall was cut into a foot by a kind of gear-shaped spiritual weapon, and it was cut into a canal, and all the bricks on the ground were broken, and the ground was very loose. In a few places, they were trampled on by the messy footprints.

Ouyang Xiu sighed and said, "We are the seventh wave!" Old Thirteen, this trip should be regarded as training your courage, tonight, you go to stay in the courtyard." After this incident, it will be of great benefit to you in the future. After speaking, he ignored Yue Chen, but walked towards another small house. Yue Chen concluded by feeling that it should be a storeroom, and thinking of what his senior brother had just said, a sense of horror in his heart became even stronger. After a long time, Yue Chen slowly turned around and walked towards the outside of the house.

At night, the wind lamps flickered slightly, but the dim light illuminated the whole yard. Just a few days ago, it was a happy family, but now it is separated by yin and yang, and it is unexpectedly dead. Yue Chen suddenly felt dizzy, especially when he saw the five corpses with different heads, he felt a sense of terror enveloping his whole body, making him breathless.

The dark sky, the faint wind lamp, the lonely shadow, in harmony with the ghostly courtyard, a clear "dong dong" sound sounded rhythmically, echoing in the courtyard. Yue Chen quietly watched everything in the courtyard, his thoughts flying. More than an hour later, at the same time as the night passed, he walked towards the courtyard, came to a green pine, picked up a hoe that had begun to rust, and began to dig a foot away from the tree. In less than two quarters of an hour, Yue Chen had dug a square pit large enough to bury twenty people.

When he really wanted to be buried, his heart began to be frightened again, and after a moment of silence, Yue Chen felt that he really didn't have the courage to see how these people were killed one by one. So he picked up two wooden sticks and resolutely threw the corpses into the pit. After a fierce battle in his heart, Yue Chen visually measured the distance between him and the pit, and pushed his head into the pit with his eyes closed. The fierce sense of resistance in his heart made him still feel that these people were watching his every move again.

After disposing of the corpse, Yue Chen directly picked up a talisman and pushed a pile of soil into the pit from a distance, and then used two more to fill the pit. This first-order technique, the Earth Gathering Technique, he thought it was of little use, but he didn't expect that he would use it for it.

Yue Chen leaned tiredly under the pine tree, slightly loosened his sweat-soaked clothes, untied the gourd and took a sip, feeling as refreshing as a long drought and a rainstorm. Thinking of the family who rested in peace, their hearts were much happier, and they thought that there should be no more dead people in this courtyard, and their eyes began to scan at random. When he glanced into a dark corner, his body suddenly froze and his pupils dilated.

Quietly make eye contact with the other pair of eyes!
