It's late at night.

Above the sea boat, a waning moon hung obliquely in the sky, sprinkling a cold glow. On the deck, the ordinary, blue-shirted young man sat on his knees, holding a wine glass, and a pear wood square table was placed in front of him, with dishes and chopsticks on it, and he was drinking in front of the moon. Next to the two, Caiyun'er held a wine jug and kept adding wine to the two. The blue-shirted young man was very excited, and the wine was dry, and he had already drunk two large pots of wine in a short time. Ordinary sip and drink, and accompany each other with a smile in the next one.

When Kankan drank more than a dozen glasses, the blue-shirted young man suddenly paused his wine glass and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Ping, I don't know you, but I don't have any friendship." But as soon as you saw me in trouble, you immediately drew your sword to help, this chivalrous heart is really heartbreaking. If Senior Brother doesn't think I'm lowly in Wanjianyi, how about we make friends?" he raised his glass and looked straight at him.

Hearing this, Ping Fan smiled and said: "Senior Brother Wan is too polite! If it weren't for them to bully more and less, how could Senior Brother not be their opponent? Seeing that the road is uneven, drawing a sword to help each other is what chivalry should do, not to mention that we Kunlun and Shushan have been friends for generations, and we are already close to each other, if the same way is in trouble, but I, who am a brother, stand by and watch, isn't there no righteousness?" After that, he raised his glass and touched it on a cup of ten thousand swords, and at the same time raised his neck and drank it all. They looked at each other and laughed in unison.

Wan Jian put down his wine glass and asked, "Senior Brother Ping, since you are a disciple of Kunlun, you should have retreated and cultivated in Kunlun Mountain, why did you come here? Do you still have a friend of cultivation in the boundless sea?"

Wan Jian smiled and said, "What's the matter if you go and go back?" What's more, my friend has a water escape treasure in his hand, and when he sails, it is much faster than your magic ship. Ordinary can't, so I had to respond, and said in my heart: "Listening to what he said, it seems that I can borrow a magic weapon nine times out of ten, so I will follow him all morning, and I may as well do it." What's more, the 1,500-mile waterway is half a day, and I am not afraid of delaying time. (Pingfan was in a hurry to leave, Wan Jianyi said that he wanted Pingfan to accompany him to a friend's house, and by the way, he picked up a Dharma boat - Taiyi Golden Scale Boat) Wan Jianyi: "Let's go see someone." This man had a very strange temper, and he could not be informed beforehand. Brother, if you can trust me, I will arrange everything. Pingfan smiled and said: "Then what can't be believed? Brother is going to set up a law to treat my injury, this is a dead horse as a live horse doctor, originally there is no hope." It is a matter of gratitude to heaven and earth for a good cure, and it is a matter of course that it is not cured well. Wan Jian stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and said, "I don't know where that horse's leg was lost?" Fuck, I killed so many rabbit cubs, but there was not a single one in the valley. ”

Seeing his expression, Ping Fan knew that he wanted to find a dead body to eat, and he was shocked in his heart, and he didn't dare to say more, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

On the morning of the second day, Wan Jian said: "Brother, there is nothing here except grass and moss, let's go down here, we have to find dead corpses to eat, but yesterday fell in this valley, all of them are old and tough, I guess your appetite will not be too good." ”

Ping Fan hurriedly said: "I don't have any appetite at all." ”

The two of them walked through the valley, and at noon, they saw a peach in the mountain, the peach was still green, and the entrance was sour, but the two of them couldn't care about it, and they had a full meal. After resting for more than an hour, he moved forward again. By dusk, Wan Jianyi had finally found his way out of the valley, but he had to climb over a cliff of several hundred feet. He took the ordinary on his back and soared upward. Climb the cliffs. Looking at a path that winds gracefully between the long grass, although the scenery is desolate, there is always a Jedi where there is not even the slightest trace of birds and beasts, and the two ministers let out a long sigh.

In the early morning of the next day, the two of them went eastward and arrived at a large town, Wan Jianyi took out a gold leaf from his arms, and asked him to go to a silver shop to exchange it for silver, and then put it into the store for the night. Wan Jianyi called a table of banquets, ordered the shopkeeper to send a large jar of wine, and the ordinary two drank half of the jar, and did not eat, one fell asleep at the desk, and the other was drunk in bed. It wasn't until the red sun was full of windows the next day that he woke up one after another. The two smiled at each other, recalling the vicious fight in the pavilion and on the stone beam the day before yesterday, as if they were in another world.

Wan Jianyi: "Brother, you wait here, I'll go out for a while." "It's been more than an hour. Linghu Chong was worried about himself, for fear that he would meet the enemy, but he saw that he came back with a large bag in his hands, carrying a lot of things, and the iron chain between his wrists was gone, thinking that he had asked the blacksmith to chisel it. As soon as Wan Jian opened the package, the bags were full of luxurious clothes and ornaments, and said, "Both of us are dressed as rich businessmen, the more generous, the better." "At the moment, he and Ling Hu Chong have changed their hearts inside and out. When he got out of the store, the shopkeeper led two tall horses with bright saddle bridles, which were also bought by Wan Jianyi.

The two rode on horseback, slowly heading east. After two days of traveling, Pingfan felt tired, so Wan Jianyi hired a big car for him to ride, and when he arrived at the edge of the canal, he simply abandoned the car and took the boat, and turned south. Along the way, Xiang Wentian spent money like flowing water, and the gold leaves around him seemed to never run out. After crossing the Yangtze River, the cities on both sides of the canal are prosperous, and the clothes and ornaments bought by Xiang Wentian are becoming more and more luxurious.

In the boat for a long time, Wan Jianyi talked about some anecdotes on the rivers and lakes. Many things are unheard of and heard with relish. But when it comes to Shushan, Wan Jianyi never mentions it, and he doesn't ask about it.

This day is about to arrive in Hangzhou, Wan Jianyi deliberately disguised himself for a while in the boat, and then landed on the boat, bought two horses, and rode into Hangzhou City.

Hangzhou was called Lin'an in ancient times, and was built as the capital in the Southern Song Dynasty, which has always been a good place to go. Entering the city, pedestrians are side by side along the way, and sheng songs are everywhere. Ordinary followed Wan Jianyi to the shore of the West Lake, but saw the blue waves like a mirror, the weeping willows blowing the water, and the beauty of the scenery was like a fairyland. Pingfan said: "I often hear people say: there is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below." I haven't been to Suzhou, I don't know the end, I saw the West Lake today, and the reputation of this paradise is indeed true. ”

Wan Jian smiled, and the horse came to a place, leaning on the hill on one side, separated from the lake by a long causeway, which was even quieter. The two dismounted, tied their mounts to the willow tree by the river, and went up the stone steps by the mountain. Xiang Wentian seems to have arrived at the old place, and the path is very familiar. Turning a few corners, there are plum trees everywhere, the old trunk is horizontally oblique, the branches and leaves are dense, imagine the day when the plum blossoms bloom in early spring, the fragrant snow is like the sea, and it is sure that you can not see it endlessly.

Walk through a large piece of plum forest, walk on a bluestone road, come to a large village courtyard with white walls of Zhumen, go to the nearest place, see the three big characters of "Yue'er Island" written outside the gate, and the four words "Chong Void and Nourish Qi" are signed next to it.

As they were walking, there were suddenly several screams of "ah" and "ah" in front of them, and at the same time, a few pale yellow disgusts rose, covering the sight of the two people here. Wan Jianyi frowned, gestured to Pingfan, and ran into the forest.

After walking three or four miles, he finally reached the end of the woods, and through the woods, the mountains in front of him were undulating, and he ran for a while, and suddenly stopped, pointed to a pile of yellow bulging things in front of him, and asked, "What is that?"

Wan Jian grabbed a few steps, only to see a yellow-shirted maid fall to the ground, hurriedly ran close and leaned over to take a look, and recognized it as a maid from Mingxia Island, whose name was Youruo. When I reached out, I felt that she had no snort at all, her whole body was cold, and it seemed that she had been dead for a long time.

When he looked at it again, he saw that the yellow horse was not lying on its side and died, but that it was bent on all fours and paralyzed. Ordinary and simple, remembering that day, the horse was also in this state when he died, hurriedly carried his left arm, rested on the horse's neck and lifted it, stretched out his right hand to touch the two front legs of the dead horse, and felt that the leg bones had been broken, and let go and touched the horse's back, and the spine on the back had been broken. He became more and more suspicious, and when he raised his hand, he couldn't help but be startled, only to see that his hands were full of blood. The blood stains had turned purple and black, but the smell was still there, and it seemed that it had been stained for about three or four days. He hurriedly turned over the horse's body and examined it carefully, but saw that the horse had no wounds all over his body, so he couldn't help but sit down on the ground, and said to himself, "Is it the blood of this dead girl?

Pingfan watched Wan Jian check his hand and didn't say a word, and then he said in a low voice: "Don't worry, let's check carefully." "Brush the flowers, look at the ground, and walk slowly forward. Wan Jian saw a bloodstain on the ground, and he couldn't care about getting lost or not, so he grabbed ahead of the ordinary sideways and rushed forward along the bloodstain.

The bloodstains appeared from time to time, and several times Wan Jianyi found the wrong way, they were all ordinary and careful, and he found them next to the rocks in the grass, and sometimes the bloodstains disappeared, and he found bloodstains or traces of most of them underground. After chasing for miles, I saw a low flower tree in front of me, and a grave was exposed in the bushes. Wan Jian rushed forward and threw himself beside the tomb.

Ordinary people saw that the stele had fallen to the ground, and immediately lifted it up, and saw that the stele was engraved with the four big characters of "Phantom Moon Cave Mansion".

As soon as Wan Jian saw the tomb door open, he vaguely knew that the island had undergone great changes, so he immediately entered the cave and looked around the entrance of the cave, only to see that the grass on the left side of the tomb had been trampled on a piece of damage, and there were traces of weapon impact at the entrance of the cave door. He listened to the door of the cave for a long time, but did not hear any noise inside, and then bent down to enter the door.

Seeing that the stone walls in the passage were shattered everywhere, it was obvious that after a vicious fight, the two were even more shocked. After walking a few feet, Wan Jianyi leaned over and picked up something. Although the tomb is dim, it is faintly discernible that it is the fabric of the clothes of the maids on the island. This kind of cloth is woven by collecting shark silk and Beihai Xuanbing silk thread, the texture is fine, the tentacles are warm, and only Yue'er Dao can produce it. At this time, since I saw it on the island, it means that not long ago, there must have been a bloody battle on the island. Wan Jianyi glanced at the ordinary, no one dared to speak, but his heart was pounding, for fear that everyone would be poisoned.
