"Buzhou Tiger."

The man turned around, his facial features were very handsome, his body was tall, he had a pair of long and narrow peach blossom eyes, the color of the eyes was light silver, and there was a vertical black pupil in the middle, which was the eyes of snakes.

Ying Zhou let out a "huh" and said tentatively, "Are you... Fan Ye?"

The man seemed to pause for a moment, then chuckled again, "How did the tiger know?"

Ying Zhou rubbed his nose, thinking, isn't it easy to guess...

The only ones in the world who can subdue Xiaobai so easily are the four demon kings, and among the four kings, the northern beast king is already old, the southern demon monster is a pair of twin sisters, and the remaining ones are the eastern flood king and the western ghost king. , it should be Jiao Wang Fanye.

"I guess," Ying Zhou replied honestly, and then asked, "You killed someone here?"

Fan Ye said: "Ordinary people are nothing but ants, why should I bother to kill an ant?"

——This is really arrogant, but Ying Zhou looked at the unconscious Xiaobai in his hand, and had to admit that he did have the capital to be arrogant.

Ying Zhou asked, "Then what are you doing here?"

Fan Ye raised eyebrows, "What is the tiger doing here again?"

"...I was the one who asked first."

"The tiger asked, so I must answer?"

This... makes sense, Ying Zhou was at a loss for words, backed away for a while and said, "Then can you put Xiao Bai down first?"

His troubled face was actually kind of cute, Fan Ye couldn't help teasing him, and asked, "What if I don't let him go?"

Ying Zhou said "Oh" again, thinking, this Jiao Wang can only use questions?

What else can I do if I don't let go... Naturally, there will be a fight.Although he may not be able to beat him now, he still has to show his attitude. At any rate, Xiaobai has followed him for 2000 years, carrying him every day from Buzhou Mountain to Nanling Island to read. Although his temper is not very good, but overall On the face of it, he is still diligent and conscientious, I can't just watch him being bullied by others——

Huagu Fan was already in his hand, Fan Ye suddenly moved slightly, he clearly saw him take a step forward, but appeared in front of Ying Zhou in an instant.He threw Xiaobai into Ying Zhou's arms, leaned closer, with a teasing smile on his lips, "It seems like I'm bullying you to beat you down now. Take it, you dare to challenge me with this level of skill, you're beyond your control. "

Ying Zhou hurriedly wrapped his arms around Xiaobai, Fan Ye's face was very close, and the hot air sprayed on Ying Zhou's face while speaking, he unconsciously wanted to hide back, Fan Ye said condescendingly: "A word of advice to the tiger, or Don't bother with this nosy business."

Ying Zhou raised his head to meet Fan Ye's silver snake eyes, "Why?"

"With your current magic power." Fan Ye pressed lightly on the tip of the Huagu fan, and Ying Zhou felt as if a weight of ten thousand catties fell from his wrist, wanting to peel the Huagu fan from his hand, but He didn't even have the slightest strength to resist——

I only heard Fan Ye continue in his ear: "It's not enough to send him up to stuff his teeth."

Ying Zhou was stunned, "... who is 'he'?"

Fan Ye had that meaningful smile again, "Tiger is so smart, why don't you guess again?"

"..."

Ying Zhou frowned thoughtfully, Fan Ye thought he was thinking about it, but suddenly he heard him ask: "Do you know that there is a cat demon named Zhulan on this street, who lives in the innermost In Yan Pavilion?"

"I don't know," Fan Ye raised his eyebrows, "Why?"

"It's nothing," Ying Zhou smiled at him, "I just figured out something suddenly."

"..."

He didn't have a beginning or end in this sentence, and Guan Zi sold it ten percent, as if he was taking revenge on Fan Ye for saying half a sentence and hiding half a sentence.

Fan Ye was about to ask him what he had figured out, when suddenly his snake eyes moved, and he shouted behind Ying Zhou: "Who!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of shaking, crackling, and the dazzling golden light flashed past him in an instant, and the surrounding barriers exploded. Inserted fiercely into the gap of the bluestone slab at the back——

Ying Zhou turned around in surprise, only to see Xu Boyuan standing alone in long clothes not far away, holding a half-human-high longbow in his left hand, the second arrow was already on the string, and a golden light swirled around him, which was an afterimage in the shape of a dragon!

Fan Ye casually tore a neckline, and smiled sarcastically, "The aim is quite accurate, but with this little force, who can it hurt?"

Xu Boyuan said coldly: "You can try."

The second arrow pierced through the wind and shot straight at Fan Ye's heart!

Fan Ye didn't dodge or dodge, stretched out two fingers and pinched lightly, the arrow was forced to stop less than an inch away from his heart, and at this time the third arrow came one after another, Fan Ye raised his figure and jumped into the air to avoid it. Backflip to the ground.Ying Zhou caught a glimpse of a scratch on Fanye's neck, which glowed like a fire, and gave off a slight orange-red light in the darkness. Although there was no blood, it could be seen that the injury was serious——

Xu Boyuan's first arrow hurt him!

"Tsk," Fan Ye casually snapped off the feather arrow in his hand, with murderous intent floating in his silver eyes, "I won't go looking for you, but you came here to die by yourself, then don't blame me."

As soon as he finished speaking, black clouds billowed up all over Fan Ye's body. He pointed with one hand, and a thunderbolt struck towards Xu Boyuan. Ying Zhou's heart was not good, his fingertips moved slightly, and the ancient fan set off a small hurricane, which surged into the space between the two of them. Suddenly cut off the thunder!

Ying Zhou was about to tell Xu Boyuan to leave, but when he turned his head, he saw that Xu Boyuan had thrown away the longbow in his hand and leaned forward, with the sword unsheathed at his waist, and the light of the knife coldly split the night and attacked Fanye's place——

The golden dragon shadow around him seemed to come alive, tightly wrapped around the sword body, opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and roared silently and intimidatingly towards Fan Ye.

Fan Ye's eyes were stung by the light, and he turned to avoid the sword blade, but was swept by the golden dragon's tail on the back of his hand, his naked flesh immediately began to turn red, Ying Zhou seemed to hear Fan Ye's gasping in pain, he Clutching the back of his hand, he retreated quickly, distanced himself from Ying Zhou and Xu Boyuan.

However, at this moment, Xu Boyuan yelled angrily: "Shoot the arrow!"

There were countless sharp piercing sounds in the air, and the tips of hundreds of arrows ignited flames, illuminating the night in all directions, flying down the sky, and flew towards Fan Ye!

The fire illuminated the three people on the street, Fan Ye looked gloomy, raised his head and sneered into the air, the black cloud spiraled up beside him, enveloping all the rockets in the blink of an eye, the fires on hundreds of rockets were all extinguished, and they were caught Scattered and flew away.The black cloud rose into the air and expanded rapidly, covering the entire street in no time. Lightning flashed and thunder thundered, one after another, it split on the bluestone slab and exploded, creating holes one after another, and quickly approached Xu Boyuan!

Ying Zhou knew that Fan Ye might have been really angry, this blow was thunderous, not to mention Xu Boyuan's mortal body, even Xiaobai in his heyday came to pick him up, I'm afraid it would be terrible!

At the critical moment, there was no time to think about it, and the Huagu fan flew out of his hand——

"Xu Boyuan! Squat down!"

The thunder light fell and gave off a dazzling light, Ying Zhou didn't know if Xu Boyuan heard his words, his eyes went blind for a moment, and when the white light in his eyes faded away, he saw Xu Boyuan kneeling on one knee ten steps away, and the ancient fan fell on him In front of him, on the ground around him, there were countless fine holes in which the thunder light was still shining.Before Ying Zhou could heave a sigh of relief, the thunderclouds around Fan Ye's body surged again, Hua Gu Fan had already been released, and he was a few steps away from Xu Boyuan, even if he flew over, it would be too late!

In the blink of an eye, the golden dragon on Xu Boyuan's long sword raised its head and roared silently towards the sky, as if calling for something, Ying Zhou immediately realized that a huge golden light in the sky fell from top to bottom and fell fiercely towards Fan Ye, "Boom ——" There was a loud bang!

Ying Zhou recalled the painful experience of himself and Xiaobai being struck by the golden light, and couldn't help closing his eyes, unable to bear to look directly.

After the light passed, Ying Zhou opened his eyes, and there was only a three-foot-wide crater where Fan Ye was just now, and Fan Ye was nowhere to be found, except for a pool of brightly colored blood on the ground, which may have seriously injured him.

Ying Zhou couldn't help being a little worried, after all, Fan Ye didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him, and even reminded him kindly.But after thinking about it, it would be fine if Xiaobai rested for two days after being struck by the Qi of the Golden Dragon. Fan Ye's morality is deeper than that of Xiaobai, so he thought it would be fine, so he relaxed and turned to look at Xu Boyuan.

Although the Huagu fan blocked the fatal lightning strike, but the explosion occurred within a short distance, Xu Boyuan was inevitably affected. At this moment, he had stood up, and the Huagu fan was picked up by him in his hand. Ying Zhou walked over, He handed it over and said "Thank you" lightly.

His voice was a little hoarse, Ying Zhou looked at his expression carefully, saw that his expression was condensed and complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he took the fan with a "huh" and asked, "Are you alright?"

Xu Boyuan shook his head, and retracted the long sword into its scabbard.He waved his hand into the night, and dozens of Imperial Army soldiers in black and red official uniforms filed out from the buildings on both sides of the street, each with a bow and sword on their back, and lined up neatly and quickly in front of Xu Boyuan.

Ying Zhou was amazed to see it, and didn't know when these people sneaked in, he and Fan Ye didn't even notice it - these people should have fired the rocket just now.

Xu Boyuan patted the shoulder of the person at the front, "Thank you for your hard work, let's take everyone back to rest, and don't spread anything about tonight."

The man looked solemn, without looking sideways, said "yes" loudly, waved and led the soldiers behind him to leave towards the east exit of Qingshi Street, dozens of people walked neatly, and soon merged into the bright lights of Zhuque Street not far away.

Only Ying Zhou and Xu Boyuan were left on the dark street, Ying Zhou asked, "Why are you here?"

Xu Boyuan glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and said indifferently, "This is the patrol."

"Oh..." For some reason, Ying Zhou inexplicably felt that Xu Boyuan looked angry, his brows were furrowed, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and his expression was a little scary.He couldn't help pinching the unconscious Xiaobai's face, the two of them were silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

After a while, Xu Boyuan asked, "Who is that person?"

"Well, it's Fan Ye." Ying Zhou replied.

Xu Boyuan glanced at him again, half of his handsome profile under the moonlight seemed to tighten even more, "...is it a monster?"

Ying Zhou nodded, "It's a flood dragon."

Among the four kings, except for the Western Ghost King, the real bodies of the other three are not secrets.Although Ying Zhou had never dealt with them, he had heard a lot of rumors from the monsters in the mountains, so he knew something about them.

This time Xu Boyuan didn't look away, but quietly looked at Ying Zhou, and after a while, he said again: "...What about you?"

Ying Zhou tilted his head, "Huh?"

Xu Boyuan slowly said word by word: "Are you a monster too?"

After the half-full moon hid behind the clouds, the surroundings dimmed, and the silence was a little strange.Xu Boyuan looked indifferent, standing less than two steps away from Ying Zhou, with his hands behind his back, Ying Zhou recalled the night they first met, Xu Boyuan also had the same expression, as if he was some kind of scourge, wishing to keep him away thousands of miles away.

"Um...I'm not..."

In fact, in Ying Zhou's view, there is no difference between human beings, demons and immortals, each has its own way of life, and each has its own helplessness, but he inexplicably feels that this issue is very important to Xu Boyuan.He thought of the golden light on Xu Li's chest, and couldn't help hesitating, wondering if he should tell Xu Boyuan the whole story.He still can't confirm which of the two is the one he's looking for. If he confesses to the wrong person, wouldn't it be an oolong?

He was afraid that Xu Boyuan would ask him what it was if he was not a monster, but Xu Boyuan took a deep look at him and said calmly, "I'm going back."

Ying Zhou was taken aback, "Go back first."

"What about you?"

"I'll go to Yayan Pavilion."

Xu Boyuan paused, "What, you want to go back?"

Ying Zhou touched the black curse seal on his left wrist, "Well, I'm going to find someone, I have something to ask him."

Xu Boyuan said, "There is no one there anymore."

Ying Zhou blinked, Xu Boyuan asked back: "Do you still look like there are people on this street?"

"Well," apart from the moonlight and starlight, there is not a single lamp on Qingshi Street, it is really deserted and miserable, and Ying Zhou realizes later, "It doesn't look like..."

"Who are you looking for?"

"...Zhulan."

"Ask for you tomorrow," Xu Boyuan said, "He has a lot of patrons in Beijing, maybe he has defected to someone."

The two walked side by side in the narrow alley. After Xu Boyuan retracted his sword, the golden dragon disappeared. At this moment, he looked no different from ordinary people.Ying Zhou looked at him quietly from the corner of his eye. Xu Boyuan should be wearing an official uniform with black hair and a crown. The style of military uniform is more complicated than that worn by ordinary soldiers. The narrow sleeves are black on the outside and red on the inside. It complements his slender limbs and graceful posture, especially when the jade belt around his waist is closed, that waist is really...

Xu Boyuan noticed his gaze and turned his head sideways, "What are you looking at?"

Ying Zhou smiled brightly and said calmly, "You look good in this outfit."

"..."

Xu Boyuan's eyebrows twitched, and he looked away.

The lights of Suzaku Street were right in front of him, and the warm orange-red light hit his body lazily, and his skin was also dyed a crimson color.Xu Boyuan's horse was tied under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree at the entrance of the street. The horse was riding on a dark cloud, and its whole body was black and shiny, except for its four hooves, which seemed to be stepping on the clouds, without time to be white.

Xu Boyuan stepped on the stirrup and turned up, stretched out his hand towards Ying Zhou, "Come up."

Because he has been holding a sword and holding a bow all year round, there is a thick layer of calluses on his fingertips. It doesn't feel very good to the touch, but the joints are obvious, the lines are smooth, and the palm is moderately thick and very powerful. When he pulled Ying Zhou onto the horse's back, the wheat-colored back of his hand A few clear meridians protrude above, which looks really pleasing to the eye.

Ying Zhou pinched the palms that were still warm, his hands were cold, but Xu Boyuan's was very hot, such a grip, the body temperature infected each other, and the neutralization became just comfortable.

——It turns out that the body temperature of mortals is like this, like the clump of ice flowers in the ice and snow of Buzhou Mountain. It is gentle and brilliant, and it is the only warmth in the long cold winter in the mountain.
