Dugu Jianyu took Xue Zihe and Yujian Tengyun to the "Peach Blossom Stream" in less than half a day. The Peach Blossom Creek is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and one side is by water, and the waterway can also be reached. It's just that the smoke above the water is white from a distance, and you will lose your way.

Below is a large pink peach forest, with peach trees one after another, and the staggered peach branches are like waves one after another. There is a mountain stream more than ten zhang high in the center of the peach forest, and the stream pours down from the cliff, like a white ribbon hanging on the peach blossoms.

Dugu Jianyu stopped at the outermost layer of the peach forest, and he took Xue Zihe up on foot. This is his habit, he always likes to pass through the peach blossoms, the falling flowers are colorful, a little still shadow agarwood is shallow, a few delicate faces, light and elegant.

A breeze passed, and the peach blossoms fell all over the eyes, and they couldn't touch the placket, but it wet someone's heart.

Zihe followed behind Dugu Jianyu without saying a word, Dugu Jianyu wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start, just turned around and patted Zihe on the shoulder as encouragement. Zihe grinned slightly, and followed Dugu Jianyu up the mountainside from the stone steps at the foot of the mountain.

Here is a wide flat land dozens of zhang away, there is a mansion on it, the house is simple, exquisite. On the gate plaque of the courtyard there is a "Peach Blossom House".

Dugu Jianyu knocked on the door twice, and the door opened in a moment, and the door was opened by an old man who was over the age of six, the old man had gray hair and was dressed in a linen coarse robe. Seeing Dugu Jianyu, he said happily: "Childe is back." The old man stepped aside, Dugu Jianyu let Xue Zihe enter the door, and he also came in, the old man closed the door, followed behind Dugu Jianyu and waited for Dugu Jianyu to command.

"Hua Bo, clean up a room for Zihe, come out" Dugu Jianyu spoke very softly, not as if he was ordered.

"Yes, Childe. The old man answered, and turned to go away.

Dugu Jianyu asked Zihe to sit down at the stone table in the corner of the courtyard, and said, "Zihe, you will live here for the time being, if you want to practice martial arts, I will teach you, but you can't call me master." ”

"Why can't you call Master?" Xue Zihe was puzzled.

"You'll understand later. Dugu Jianyu didn't tell him.

Xue Zihe nodded and didn't ask much, Dugu Jianyu didn't tell him that he had his deep meaning.

"Today, you first walk around the yard to familiarize yourself with the environment, except for Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua, they are all very easy to get along with. Also, this house is built on the edge of the cliff, don't go to the edge of the cliff, you know?" Dugu Jianyu instructed.

"Hmm!" Zihe said seriously.

"I want to see Aunt Hua, do you want to go with me," Dugu Jianyu asked.

Xue Zihe nodded.

After Dugu Jianyu took Zihe to see Aunt Hua, Zihe walked around the courtyard alone and played, while Dugu Jianyu went back to the room to tidy up his things. He vaguely felt that he was going to leave again soon, and although the master's explanation had been completed, he seemed a little uneasy about the subsequent events one after another.

He lay lazily on the bed, looking at the blood droplets left by the Xuanyuan Suyu on his left wrist, which was as red as a peach blossom. Xuanyuan Suyu's appearance flashed in Dugu Jianyu's mind over and over again. Dugu Jianyu unconsciously laughed.

"Childe has come out to eat. Hua Bo shouted outside.

"Here it is. Dugu Jianyu replied.

Dugu Jianyu went out to have lunch with Zihe. After dinner, Xue Zihe asked Dugu Jianyu to teach him martial arts, Dugu Jianyu first taught him some simple moves, Xue Zihe practiced very seriously, and then Dugu Jianyu went to the house to find him a more complex book, let him memorize it and then practice it well.

Dugu Jianyu returned to Taohuajian for three days and did not see his master Chaobaili back, and it was not until dusk on the fourth day that he saw the letter sent by his master's crane. Dugu Jianyu read the letter and destroyed it casually. When he returned to the study, he replied to his master, and beckoned He'er to send a reply.

Dugu Jianyu stayed for a few more days, and by the way, he also helped Zihe to guide him in kung fu, Zihe was very diligent, and he got up at dawn every day to practice the kung fu that Dugu Jianyu taught him. Seeing this, Dugu Jianyu prepared to go down the mountain the next day.

On the second day, as soon as the sky was faintly bright, he heard Zihe's scream, Dugu Jianyu thought something had happened, and rushed out without wearing any clothes outside, only to see that the peach blossoms on the trees had all withered overnight.

The peach tree here was brought back by his master Chao Baili in Liubo Immortal Mountain, and it has been undefeated all year round since the peach blossoms bloomed, and somehow it has all withered now, and Dugu Jianyu is very strange.

"This is a bad omen!" said Hua Bo sighed and went back to the house.

"Big brother. Xue Zihe walked up to Dugu Jianyu and looked at him.

Dugu Jianyu said: "Zihe is fine, you have to practice kung fu when I am not you, and when I am done, I will come back to see you with your sister." ”

Xue Zihe was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it and just nodded sensibly.

Dugu Jianyu and Zihe had breakfast together, and then left the Peach Blossom Stream, watching all the peach blossoms in the Peach Blossom Stream wither, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Without Xue Zihe, Dugu Jianyu was much faster than when he came. He knew that Zihe had just been wiped out by his family, and although he was young, he was a sensitive child, and his words would irritate him if he was not careful. But he never understood that He Wangulou's people wanted to arrest him everywhere, could he have what Wangulou wanted.

Although Zihe respects him, he is still wary of him, but he trusts Xuanyuan Suyu very much.

When Dugu Jianyu arrived at Duxia Town, it was almost noon, but Duxia Town at this time was very different from the previous days. When he came a few days ago, he only saw no one at night, but today there was no one on the street in the blue sky and daylight, and it was a mess, as if he had fled from the desert.

The street was so quiet that you couldn't even hear the sound of insects and ants. The sun is like fire, and the sun makes people's faces hurt, and there is no trace of wind.

Dugu Jianyu was walking alone on the street, looking at the closed doors on both sides of the street, and suddenly remembered Xuanyuan Suyu's uneasiness before leaving, and wondered if her uneasiness had anything to do with all this. Dugu Jianyu had thousands of questions flashing in his mind.

Suddenly, two figures appeared in front of Dugu Jianyu, Dugu Jianyu subconsciously took precautions, but saw two people, one was Xuanyuan Suyu, and the other was the masked woman in green clothes Qing Yao who I had seen in Doll's Villa that day. Before Dugu Jianyu asked Xuanyuan Suyu, Xuanyuan Suyu said, "Brother Jianyu, don't look back, go quickly." ”

Xuanyuan Suyu and Qing Yao took Dugu Jianyu to an abandoned house, and Xuanyuan Suyu quickly closed the door.

"Brother Jianyu, why are you here?" asked Xuanyuan Suyu happily.

"It was my master who sent me down the mountain. Dugu Jianyu continued, "I don't know what happened here? I've only been back for a few dozen days, how did this place become like this?"

"On the second day you left, the people of Wangulou came, arresting people in the streets, and there were zombies coming out to harm people at night, and the people here suffered. Xuanyuan Suyu said to Dugu Jianyu.

"What are the people of Wangulou doing when they catch these innocent people?" Dugu Jianyu said angrily.

"I don't know. Xuanyuan Suyu said helplessly.

"It's very likely that they will be used as humanoid puppets, and if I'm not mistaken, zombies should also be released by Wangu Lou. Qing Yao, who was on the side, said suddenly.

Xuanyuan Suyu thought of Qing Yao on the side, and hurriedly introduced to Dugu Jianyu: "Brother Jianyu, this Qing Yao is my mother's closed disciple. ”

Dugu Jianyu smiled slightly and said, "I've already seen Miss Qingyao in Doll Mountain Villa." ”

Tang Qingyao still had no expression, still so indifferent, calm, and empty-eyed, but there was no arrogance at all.

"What is the humanoid puppet that Miss Qingyao is talking about?" Dugu Jianyu asked Tang Qingyao.

"It is to use witchcraft to control people's consciousness to do things that cannot be seen for them. Tang Qingyao explained.

"These people are so vicious. Xuanyuan Suyu said indignantly.

Tang Qingyao saw through the crack in the gate that the people of Wangulou were searching for people on the street again, Tang Qingyao stretched out his hand and signaled them not to speak, and the two immediately quieted down.

The people of Wangulou frantically smashed and looted on the street, broke into a few more houses, and left in a huff without any gain.

"It's so infuriating, these brutes!" Dugu Jianyu said angrily.

"If you want to figure out the purpose of Wangu Building, it will take a lot of trouble. Tang Qingyao still had no expression.

"Brother Jianyu, Qing Yao and I still have to detoxify the corpse at night, now we have to rest for a while. Be careful yourself. Xuanyuan Suyu admonished.

"Corpse poison?" Dugu Jianyu said puzzled.

"Even those who have been bitten by zombies and are not deeply poisoned can be saved. The reason why I asked you to take Zihe away is because someone used the corpses of his family to make zombies to harm people, and I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stand it when he saw it. Xuanyuan explained.

Dugu Jianyu also guessed one or two.

"I'll go out now to find out the news of Wangu Lou, and I'll see you here in the evening. Dugu Jianyu said.

"Okay, Brother Jianyu, you have to be careful yourself. Xuanyuan Suyu instructed repeatedly.

Dugu Jianyu nodded and went out.
