Fang Yuan was so anxious that he couldn't wait for Ye Shaozhen to get on the horse, so he put the horse's belly between his legs and drove away towards the north.He knew there was a village in the north of the city, but he had never been there. The fast horse ran for a while. He sat firmly on the horse's back and pulled the rein. The horse's hooves rose and was forced to stop.

Ye Shaozhen's horse arrived at this time, she passed Fang Yuan without stopping, Ye Shaozhen shouted on the horse: "Follow me." Fang Yuan followed with a "drive".

Chengbei Village is an extremely impoverished village that doesn't even have an official name, because everyone along the northern edge of Jiangbei City is called Chengbei Village, and this has become its name over time.

When Fang Yuan and the others arrived, there was no one on the road. The village looked dilapidated, but there were logs used to build houses everywhere on the roadside. Some roofs have been repaired, and some houses have refurbished the outer walls. I want to spread the word It has indeed led the villagers to improve a lot.

Fang Yuan hadn't eaten for almost two days, and the only thing in his stomach was a little soup and tea. He felt overwhelmed by the bumpy journey, and after walking two steps, he leaned on the wall and retched.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Shaozhen had already walked to the front, saw Fang Yuan stopped, turned back and found that he was unwell, and asked by rubbing his back.

Fang Yuan shook his head, he felt very flustered, there was nothing in his stomach, and he couldn't vomit anything, he just had a wrenching pain.

"I'm fine, you go to the senior brother first, I'll come later."

"Okay, pay attention to yourself, I'll go ahead and have a look." Ye Shaozhen nodded.

After she passed by, Fang Yuan pressed his stomach with one hand and supported the wall with the other, and walked slowly on the road. He looked around while walking, probably because of the sensitivity he had practiced for many years, he always felt that the village was filled with vague The evil spirit, but he couldn't detect where it came from, and he couldn't find where it went in the end.

As he walked forward, he felt that the road in this small village was so long that his legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Every step he took would hurt his flesh, or maybe it was because he instinctively dared not go forward and was afraid of something.

Walking all the way to the other side of the village, he saw some awake villagers coming out, talking to Ye Shaozhen, and the guards who were left behind by them also came in large numbers, and each team brought a doctor with them, Get busy inside and outside the house.

Fang Yuan stopped and stood there watching, watching everyone coming in and out, until now he felt a little helpless, the person he once trusted lied to him, the lives of his two closest relatives were unknown, and his He only dared to look at it from a distance, as if taking one step forward, these things would become a reality that crushed him like a certainty.

"My lord, are you with them too?"

Once Fang Yuan came back to his senses, there stood a white-haired old man in front of him. The skin on his face was chapped by the cold wind, but he still looked kind.

Ever since he entered this village, Fang Yuan had always been suspicious, but he couldn't think of what the problem was because of his confusion. When he saw the old man, he became enlightened and asked, "Old man, I would like to ask, what happened in the village?" Are you sure it's the plague?"

The old man sighed: "It's hard to say, people who are sick will have a fever, then become afraid of light, and finally become unconscious after vomiting blood. This symptom will spread from ten to ten. What's the difference between this and the plague?"

"That's strange, like my senior brother... is your Young Master Xuanwen, he was infected even though he was young, but you... and those old people just now are all fine?"

The reason why Fang Yuan finds it strange is that the only people left in the village who have just entered and exited are old people. Could it be that this disease is only transmitted to young people?

The old man shook his head and replied: "Master Xuanwen stopped the spread of this disease, and basically everyone in the village will be cured, mainly because of the night before yesterday..."

"What happened the night before?"

"I heard from the person who was still sober that Mr. Xuanwen was going to go on an errand that night. They went to see him off. Something happened, some of us old fellows, in order to make a living, have been watching the night gates of big families in the city all the year round, and came back in the morning, and we all went out that night, and we happened not to be in the village."

Fang Yuan frowned: "Apart from someone stepping on the roof, is there anything else?"

The old man thought for a while: "Oh, also, he said that it was very quiet at night and he heard the sound of bells."

"The sound of bells?"

Fang Yuan immediately thought, could it be that Wuyan who disappeared for so long has returned?Thinking about it carefully, on the roof of the Fang Mansion a few months ago, he and his master met that person, could it be that he was really insatiable as he thought?He hasn't disappeared, but... has been secretly staring at them?

"Young Master..." The old man called Fang Yuan before he came back to his senses, "Young Master, is your family over there? Why don't you go and see?"

Fang Yuan followed the old man's gaze, and many people had already been lifted out, arranged on the ground one by one, covered with a glaring white cloth, at a glance, there was a vast expanse of whiteness, Fang Yuan squinted his eyes.

He walked over, and as soon as he reached the front of the house, he heard suppressed cries coming from the house. As people went out, Fang Yuan saw the situation clearly—two people came out carrying a stretcher, and the person on top was also covered with a mask. A layer of white cloth, this layer of white cloth seems to separate the Yin and Yang worlds, Ye Shaozhen followed out one step at a time, although she was already very suppressed, her face was full of tears.

"Xuanwen... woo" When he was put on the ground, Ye Shaozhen threw herself on it, her head buried in the crook of her arms, trembling.

"Get up." Fang Yuan stepped forward and pulled Ye Shaozhen's arm, but failed to pull her up, he said again with a choked voice: "Get up."

Ye Shaozhen desperately shook her head.

"Princess, this belongs to Mr. Xuanwen, you should keep it as a souvenir." Ye Shaozhen raised her head, and saw a small wooden bead lying in one hand in front of her, which was threaded into a necklace by a string .

She pulled out a rope from her neck, and she also wore an identical wooden bead underneath. This was the peach wood bead given to them by Xiao Zijun on the day they got married.

Do not seek wealth, but seek peace...

Ye Shaozhen pursed her lips in pain, and clenched the beads tightly.

Fang Yuan bypassed Ye Shaozhen, squatted gently on the other side of Xuanwen, he lifted the white cloth covering Xuanwen's body, revealing his face.He had made thousands of mental preparations, but he didn't expect that this one glance would blow him to pieces.

Xuanwen's face was festered, and there were blisters of different sizes from his forehead to his chin. The blisters burst, and the tender flesh was covered with blood. The whole person looked completely unrecognizable.

Fang Yuan's eyes darkened: "Senior brother..."

After a while, he knelt down and kowtowed three times to Xuanwen.

"Brother, don't worry, no matter what the reason is, I will definitely check it out."

Xuanwen married Ye Shaozhen, and now he is considered half a member of the imperial court. After he died, Fang Yuan couldn't take him away, so the Ye family would naturally take him away.Last night Ye Shaozhen had reported to King An for help, at this time a mighty crowd poured into the village, settled down the villagers, and took away Xuanwen's body.

Before leaving, Ye Shaozhen put the mahogany necklace in her hand back on Xuanwen's neck, her tone was flat, and she didn't know who she was saying to: "This is Xuanwen's stuff, even if he leaves, let him take it away. She turned around and looked at Fang Yuan, seeing him looking back at her, Ye Shaozhen asked: "Are you going back with me? Your senior brother said before that you can't go back to Xiaoshan for the time being."

Fang Yuan shook his head: "No, I want to go around alone and trouble you to take care of my brother's funeral."

Ye Shaozhen responded, turned around and got on the horse to follow behind Wang An's team. Fang Yuan watched this team, who might never see each other again in this life.

Leaving Chengbei Village, Fang Yuan walked aimlessly on an unknown forest path, looking at the rising sun through the few remaining leaves, the sun was so dazzling that tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, and he wiped his eyes. Crying, he can't cry... In the past, when he wanted to cry, there was Master and Senior Brother, but now he is the only one left...

He raised his legs and strode forward, getting faster and faster, and finally started to run quickly.He couldn't tell the direction, and he seemed lost in the forest. No matter where he went, there were endless trees, and he couldn't find the way back.

Fang Yuan felt dizzy, he ran until he couldn't run anymore, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Ahhhhhh!" He raised his head and roared, slapping his palm on the ground, the palm was cut by a stone, a strong wind swept the fallen leaves on the ground, and suddenly burned along Fang Yuan's force. There was a raging purple fire.

"I……?"

Fang Yuan stared blankly at his hands, a strong force that did not belong to him flowed away from his body, he lightly touched his palm, and a cluster of purple flames jumped out of his hand.

A voice echoed in the empty forest, a voice that Fang Yuan hadn't heard for a long time.

"Finally found you!"

"Who are you?" Fang Yuan looked around vigilantly.

"Have you forgotten? On Mount Heqing, I once gave you strength!"

He remembered, on the Heqing Mountain, in that dark place, someone injected a force into his body, it was this purple fire, and he accidentally hurt Xiao Zijun.

"It's you? That group of devilish energy."

"It's me, master. I feel your despair. This is the real you, the one who wants to vent and seek revenge." The more he spoke, the more excited he became, as if he had endless power.

Fang Yuan clenched his hands into fists and extinguished the flame in his palms: "I don't want your power, take it out of my body."

"Master, this is not my power. It originally belonged to you. I am just dying. I have guarded this power for thousands of years. Now I can finally give it back to you! Hahahahaha..."

"I..." Fang Yuan opened his mouth to refuse, the voice turned into a gust of wind and went straight into Fang Yuan's body, Fang Yuan felt his heart suddenly tighten, and the huge temperature spread from his chest to his limbs, burning his breath Difficulty, almost burning him to ashes.

He tugged at his clothes, his veins crawled up his neck, and he vomited out a mouthful of blood with Yu Qi. As soon as his body exerted force, the whole forest suddenly burst into flames.

"Ah!!" Almost to the extreme, after Fang Yuan shouted, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he fell into endless darkness.

In Pingzhou City, a huge purple ball was suspended in the middle of the dark secret room, which was wrapped in a raging fire. The fire light shone on the surrounding iron walls, making it look gloomy.

Zhong Liyi stood in front of the purple ball, his palms spread out, his eyes closed and he breathed evenly, with each breath, the purple air was sucked out from inside and slowly entered into his palm, and after more than a minute, his eyebrows frowned. Just stretching a little, the flying red on the eyelids looks like two centipedes, slanting to the temples along the direction of the corners of the eyes.

As soon as he turned around, Zhong Lijing behind him was startled: "You..."

"how?"

"As I told you, you can't take too much of this devilish energy. You have been losing control of yourself recently. Look at your current appearance and be careful not to be swallowed by it."

Zhong Liyi looked at his palms, as if he was very satisfied with this power, he didn't care and said, "If I die, wouldn't it suit you?"

Seeing Zhong Lijing's tense face, he smiled: "Just kidding, your heart-purifying mantra is very useful to me. It seems that Xiao Shan's things have two brushes."

Zhong Lijing kept his head silent, and Zhong Liyi suddenly changed the subject and asked, "How are you doing? Haven't you dealt with him yet?"

"I……"

Zhong Liyi said: "If you want to get a person, you can't get it just by following him. Some people can, but some people can't. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhong Lijing shook his head, as if he didn't understand what he said.

"You may not know, Xuanwen is dead, Fang Yuan is missing, several sect masters and elders are in my hands, Pingzhou City is now invincible, do you think Xiao Zijun can turn over the city by himself?" What splashes are coming out?"

"You..." Zhong Lijing never thought that the world would be turned upside down in just a few days, and he couldn't digest Zhong Liyi's words for a while, so he was surprised for a long time before asking: "You said Xuanwen is dead? Fang Yuan is missing? Isn't he Have you been imprisoned in the Zhanqing Cave by Xiaoshan's people?"

"He escaped. As I said earlier, this person has some potential." Zhong Liyi took a small step forward, and poked a finger on Zhonglijing's shoulder, "It's you, after so many days, you can't handle someone alone. You should How to do it, do you want me to explain more clearly?"

Seeing Zhong Lijing's hesitation, he felt that he was a waste from the bottom of his heart, so he turned his head and whispered in Zhong Lijing's ear: "I'll take him by force."

"What?" Zhong Lijing took a step back, staring and thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"What are you afraid of? Now that Xiao Zijun's mana is almost exhausted by the devil's energy, do you still think he is the Xiao Zijun who everyone admires for his profound mana? If you force him, he will be yours."

Zhong Lijing finally understood that it wasn't his ears that had a problem. He lowered his eyes: "I like him very much, but I don't want to do this kind of thing. I don't want him to be reluctant. What I always want is a relationship between two people." Joy."

"Happy in love?" Zhong Liyi dragged his voice, and said mockingly: "Okay, what a happy in love, then you can wait for Fang Yuan to come back and watch them in love, and you, Always the one who can't reach the edge."

"I..." Zhong Lijing raised his eyes, and the person in front of him had already left him. The door of the secret room opened for a moment, and a little wind came in, which made Zihuo jump a few times, and then the door was closed tightly.

Zhong Lijing stood there alone, motionless, he thought for a long time, his legs became numb after standing for a long time, he moved a little, turned around, opened the door and went out.

He came to a house, facing south, this house is the second most Fengshui place in Pingzhou City after Zhongli Township.Some flowers and plants that can grow in winter are planted in the yard. Every day someone comes to clean the yard, and the daily necessities are changed every day. In the eyes of ordinary people, it must be a big family, but this house is covered with a layer of knots. The world, just added a sense of prison.

When Zhong Lijing walked in, Xiao Zijun sat on the ground and fell asleep.He didn't want Xiao Zijun to be in the dungeon with other people, so he begged Zhong Liyi to let him go.For these few days, Zhong Lijing came to see him every day. He didn't eat a single bite of the food he brought, and he never slept in bed. He just sat with his eyes closed, as if he was dead.

Zhong Lijing found that if he didn't get Xiao Zijun for a day, the longing in his heart would grow more and more wantonly, like a seed in his heart, he had been suppressing the seed to germinate, but a pot of spring water in Zhongli Town poured it.

"If you force him, he is yours."

"It's such a happy couple, then you can wait for Fang Yuan to come back and watch them love each other, and you will always be the one who can't reach the limit."

……

Zhong Liyi's words spread in his mind, he couldn't bear it, and he couldn't wait for Fang Yuan to come back!

Zhong Lijing looked at the person close at hand, and his breathing quickened a little. He walked over quickly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Zijun's wrist, Xiao Zijun was startled by him and opened his eyes, and quickly pulled his hand away from him. .Zhong Liyi had mana on his body, and the force in his hand was like a pliers, so he couldn't break free. Before Xiao Zijun could make a second move, Zhong Lijing was already half-kneeling on the ground and leaning over to press him. The other hand rested on his collarbone, stopping his tendency to possess.

"Don't come here." Xiao Zijun panted and said in a low voice, he raised his eyes to look at Zhong Lijing, the moment Zhong Lijing met his eyes, he saw a trace of fear that he had never seen before.

He seemed to be stabbed by this expression, and he let go of Xiao Zijun as soon as he loosened his grip.

After a while, he got up, straightened his crumpled clothes, and looked down at Xiao Zijun.

"I'm here to tell you something about your apprentice."

Zhong Lijing found that after he finished speaking, Xiao Zijun was staring at him. This was the first time he was staring at Xiao Zijun when he was speaking to Xiao Zijun in so many days. The final reason was his apprentice.

"Are you still waiting for Fang Yuan to come to rescue you? It's been ten days, and he can't come back." Zhong Lijing continued: "A few days ago, Zhong Liyi led people to surround Qingxu, and now he sucks... Zhong Lijing paused for a moment, then changed his words: "His skills are getting stronger and stronger, which is beyond comparison."

Seeing that Xiao Zijun didn't hear what he wanted to hear, he was about to close his eyes and pretend to be dead, so he quickly added: "Fang Yuan is missing."

Xiao Zijun opened his half-dozed eyes, waiting for his next words.

"I just heard, and I heard that Xuanwen died."

Zhong Lijing could feel his body shaking, Xiao Zijun asked back: "Cheating me can make you happy?"

"I didn't..." Zhong Lijing never thought that Xiao Zijun didn't believe him at all. He wanted to argue, but the door of the room was pushed open from the outside.

"He didn't lie to you."

Zhong Liyi's voice was originally thick and mature, but now it became a little shrill. When he opened the door and came in, Xiao Zijun took a look at him, and frowned unconsciously seeing how demonized he was.

"Look at this." Zhong Liyi strolled up to Xiao Zijun and squatted down. A cluster of purple fireworks ignited on the palm of his right hand, and a small picture jumped out of it——

Xuanwen's face was full of blisters, and he lay lifeless on the ground. Fang Yuan kowtowed to him three times and said something. After a while, Xuanwen was picked up by a large number of people. Yuan watched the team leave.

Xiao Zijun's hands in his sleeves trembled, and he wanted to continue watching, but Zhong Liyi put his fingers together, and the picture suddenly disappeared.

"Chengbei Village is full of plagues. Your good apprentice went to save people from fire and water, but he got sick himself. Fang Yuan is even better. Didn't he say he came to save you? I don't know how he escaped to Jiangbei. Without a trace, I can't even take care of Xuanwen's funeral, do you think these two are more useless than the other?" Zhong Liyi deliberately patted Xiao Zijun's face, and deliberately took a sneak peek at the man standing aside Zhong Lijing, he was really nervous and kept looking this way.

Suddenly, Zhongliyi's pulse was pinched by someone, he looked at Xiao Zijun, Xiao Zijun said angrily: "Xuanwen has practiced with me for many years, and he has Taoling wood beads on his body to prevent disasters, how could he be infected with the plague?"

Zhong Liyi let him pinch, and now the relationship between them is like an ant stepping on the pulse of an elephant, even if the ant jumps a few times, it won't help.

Zhong Liyi said: "You ask me? How do I know what your master has taught him? I'm also curious, your first disciple Xiao Zijun can't resist a small plague? But you don't have to worry about it, because you It’s better to take care of yourself.”

He shook off Xiao Zijun's hand holding him, and called out to the door, two people from Pingzhou City came in immediately, Zhong Lijing suddenly became vigilant, stepped in front of Xiao Zijun and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Zhong Liyi smiled and supported his left shoulder. Zhong Lijing felt a pain in his left shoulder, and his whole body was suppressed and unable to move.

Zhong Liyi still smiled like a normal person: "Ah Jing, I gave you a chance, I said that you forced him, he is yours, and I will not touch your man. But since you can't do it, then He will be assigned to work like everyone else."

"Work? What work?"

"The current Pingzhou City is too small. I plan to reshape Pingzhou City, expand bigger and more gorgeous houses, palaces, and school grounds. I have taken a good look at the location. I think Xiaoshan is good. It is a treasured place of geomantic omen and has many disciples. All of them are for my own use, under the gate of my Pingzhou city."

"You!" Xiao Zijun finally couldn't hold back anymore, he was about to get up when he was held down by two people who came in, one left and one right.

"Take him to make a number and get ready to work." Zhong Liyi watched Xiao Zijun being taken away, moved his hand away from Zhong Lijing's body, stroked his palm, and smiled quite satisfied.

"You are really crazy! Do you want tens of thousands of disciples to learn magic from you?"

"It's nothing bad. I like this power very much. It can help me make those who once looked down on me and talked about me behind my back kneel at my feet." Zhong Liyi changed the subject, "By the way, I need you Help me find something."

Zhong Lijing turned his head in annoyance, his rejection was beyond words.

"Don't worry, in return, I won't make things difficult for Xiao Zijun."

Zhong Lijing seemed to compromise: "What are you looking for?"

"A black sword named 'Yunlang Guiya'."
