————————————————————————

The word clever has too many meanings.

It was a coincidence that Shi Yanwen came to this world, it was a coincidence that he entered the Fudong City, it was a coincidence that he had this ability, and it was a coincidence that the Taoist appeared.

But what if none of these coincidences were coincidences?There are so many coincidences in the world.

After sunset and before midnight, the red clouds dissipate for a long time, and the distant and vast sky becomes gloomy and depressing, and the stars shine together, making them seem more and more out of reach.

It's a good time to rest, but unfortunately, people in and out of the city can't live in peace, which is really boring, especially for an old man.

Qu Shitu looked at the lobby where three people were missing in an instant, and silently rolled up his sleeves.

Shi Yanwen looked at him in surprise, "Butler Qu, what is this?"

"Supper!" Qu Shitu sighed, "No one will cleanse us up, so I have to rely on my own efforts, and I will reward you all by the way, alas, we all choose to fight at night, really!"

Shi Yanwen still went to the city wall to watch the battle, it was a good place, and the situation was clear at a glance.There are still four people in the criminal group, but there are no Misty Moon and Ku Jiuquan.Misty Moon should be intercepted by Su Zhenzhen at this moment, and Ku Jiuquan didn't come for some reason, which is a good thing.

Three against four, the strength of the opponent should not be underestimated, but they can still handle it.Su Huanzhen had told him earlier that this battle was just a bluff, and he would go back to the city to start the battle. The building materials of the fixed city are special, and it is even more difficult to enter the mixed formation.The enemy's purpose is still testing. Only when they show a proper retreat can they give the opponent proper confidence and prevent the situation from getting out of control.

Just as he was watching, Shi Yanwen suddenly felt a slight sound behind him, deliberately lightened his footsteps, and sneaked up the stone ladder at the corner of the wall. Shi Yanwen paused for a moment, then looked sideways, and saw a child in soft armor looking at him with a smile on his face. Put your fingers in front of your lips, signaling him to keep quiet.

Kneeling down to pull him up, Shi Yanwen patted the dust off his hands. The ladder made of boulders was too high, and his feet were not long enough, so he couldn't keep his hands free. "What are you doing here, where is Xiaohu?"

The little ghost smiled, leaned close to his ear, and cast his eyes out of the city involuntarily, "I'm hungry, I wanted to find something to eat, but Uncle Qu was still preparing, and told me to come find you."

Really not guilty, Shi Yanwen led him to the corner, and asked softly, "I really asked you to come to me, instead of asking you to stay obediently?"

The little ghost froze for a moment, and he hesitated for a long time, "He only said to stay, but he didn't say where to stay, so I'm willing to stay here!"

"Ha," Shi Yanwen asked him to lean on his body, trying to cover up the breath of the two of them, "Look at it if you want, but don't make a sound."

The little ghost looked up at him, "Aren't you driving me down?"

"I'm driving you down, are you going to go down?"

"No."

"That's it," Shi Yanwen pinched his nose, "and Motun Boy is now well-known, so it's not surprising to be noticed, but if there is only one person, don't come up casually."

The little ghost rubbed his nose, "You are so easy to talk to."

"How is it compared to your master?"

"Hmm... half a catty."

It should be so.

The disadvantage of one's own side has already been revealed, and the culprit and his party saw the opportunity, and their moves became more and more fierce. Liao Yufeng and Yinbao faced each other and the remaining three fought and retreated.Goshawk, on the other hand, stood firm and did not retreat, as if he had a lot of energy left, a glimmer of appreciation flashed in the eyes of the perpetrator, "You were also the one who broke my ultimate move last time?"

Shi Yanwen was slightly stunned, and looked at Goshawk, who still shook his head after hesitating for a moment.The perpetrator laughed, and turned his palms to the ground, the ground instantly cracked, his hands joined together, and a ghostly aura condensed in all directions.

It's still the trick "Dry Soul Falling", and it's very fast!

Before he could think, the goshawk condensed his energy into a sword, combined with the sword energy, and slashed down in the air!

"drink!"

The two moves collided, and the huge coercion formed huge waves rushing out layer by layer. Shi Yanwen was waiting to be relieved, but saw a dark streamer flashing in the smoky atmosphere, rushing straight at the speed of lightning!

Shi Yanwen hurriedly covered the little ghost's mouth to stop the scream, turned sideways on the wall, the cold wind blowing up his long hair, his snow-white figure was particularly eye-catching under the moonlight.He turned his head sideways, half of his face was blocked by the white collar, but his pair of azure blue eyes met the inquiring gaze directly, and he didn't miss the bit of viciousness and surprise.

"..." He raised his other hand and wiped it on his face, a faint blood color slid down his fingertips, Shi Yanwen closed his eyes slightly, "I see."

He had already noticed Shi Yanwen's location, and the question just now was just to divert everyone's attention.

Really, it's broken.

Su Huanzhen had better deal with Ku Jiuquan as soon as possible, if not, just wait for the perpetrator to go back and ask for a while, the identity of Qilin Xing may be suspected, although not everyone knows that his relationship with Su Huanzhen is now , but it will always give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Goshawk stopped entanglement, and took advantage of the situation to stir up dust waves all over the ground, wanting to get away and retreat.The perpetrator snorted coldly, and suddenly jumped into the air, spread his hands, and raised his whole body's true energy. The pressure was even heavier than last time, and he was like a galloping horse, "Since I returned to the world, you are the first , The person who made me use this trick——Fen Tianzui!"

This move is huge, but Goshawk is not an ordinary person. The clearer and more stable sword energy intersects from the inside to the outside, like a wall of swords. Liaoyufeng and Yinbao looked at each other, and both retreated to Goshawk. Go down majestic!

The time has come.

Boom boom boom!

The huge sound resounded through the heavens. Shi Yanwen staggered when he landed with the little devil's head on the ground, and the rocks collapsed and flew. It was beyond his expectation.

As soon as the little devil's head fell to the ground, he pulled him nervously and asked, "How are you? Your palms were so cold just now, did you get hurt somewhere?"

Shi Yanwen shook her head, wiped off the blood on her face, and saw that no one came over, "It's okay, it's just a little scrape, don't be nervous."

"But you just—"

"Is there anything I need to do now?" Shi Yanwen interrupted him.

"It's nothing, but just now..."

"Yanwen's body is cold, it's not a big deal." The beacon fire outside the city has stopped, presumably Goshawk and the others should come back, Shi Yanwen frowned secretly, and continued, "You almost encountered danger on the city wall just now, you should think about how to deal with it It's your Uncle Qu's complaint."

The little devil's face collapsed, "Ah! That's right! Uncle Qu will definitely scold me later!"

Shi Yanwen blinked at him, "How about this, I won't tell him that you have been to the city wall, and you don't tell others what happened just now, let it be a secret, okay?"

The little devil's face recovered from his collapse just now, but he was still a little uneasy, and wanted to say something, but Shi Yanwen hissed, pulled him behind him, and said to the front, "Are you all right?"

Silver Leopard took off his mask, "It's safe and sound, how about you?"

"nothing."

Goshawk pointed to the little devil's head.

Shi Yanwen smiled, rubbed his head, then pulled him inside and said nonchalantly, "He is hungry and can't sleep, by the way, just now Qu Shitu said he would reward you, go in quickly."

Su Zhenzhen came back in the middle of the night, just when the little ghost head was full of food and energy, and when he saw him coming back, he rushed on him. Master, Master kept screaming, and said, "Master, your body is full of blood. The clothes are so handsome!"

"Master, you came back very late, even the little fox fell asleep."

"Master..."

Su was really helpless, "You said you would call me the city lord if you put on a mask, you forget quickly."

The little devil sticks out his tongue, "There are no outsiders here, why is Shizun still wearing this? Take it off."

Su Zhenzhen shook his head and said, "I have something important to discuss with them, it's already late, why don't you go to bed?"

"But I just had enough."

"Then how about walking a hundred steps to eliminate food?"

"……I'm going to bed."

The sword, ape, and sword wolf in that room were exhausted, and when they saw the soft and crispy soup that Qu Shitu prepared for them, they regained their energy. They took off their masks and wanted to run up. So polite, eating like a young lady who has never left the cabinet, which is both uncomfortable and awkward.

This age is the most troublesome. I envy the carefree children who can talk and do what they want, and envy the seniors for their generosity, decency, calmness, stability, and pace, but the measurement in the middle is not the point.

The more Shi Yanwen looked at it, the more amusing he became, so he advised them to go to the kitchen. They asked Goshawk for his opinion with their eyes, and they left with their rice bowls when they saw him nodding.

Speaking of it, it's not much different from the little ghost head.

When Su Zhenzhen was discussing matters with everyone, Shi Yanwen hurried back to his side hall, leaving in a hurry.

He felt a little uncomfortable, top-heavy, and his body was as cold as ice when he just woke up. He groped to the side of the bed in a daze, and fell down with his head covered without even taking off the bed curtain. Completely passed out.

He obviously didn't feel any discomfort just now, but he just went down the city wall, why did he become like this?Fortunately, Su didn't really see it.

Just fortunately, suddenly there seemed to be someone approaching in the dark, the shadow disappeared in a flash, and the strings were untouched, and there were bursts of faint humming, the tone was very low, it was like a lullaby.Shi Yanwen managed to open her eyes and looked around. Except for the ice veil moving with the wind, there was no sign of people coming.

It was like this again, it happened once in the daytime, the inexplicable turmoil in the heart, the strings sounded clear, as if calming down, or...

Suppress.

Otherwise, why would the body become weak even when moving?

Uneasy, Shi Yanwen grabbed the carved unicorn by the bed and sat up. It was cool in the night and the ground was even colder, but he didn't seem to feel it, and staggered to the piano stand.

The strings were still moving, and the melodious little tune that flowed out slowly soothed the panic in his heart. Shi Yanwen sat down on the piano platform in a daze, and leaned on the side to listen to the tune like a whisper. The cinnabar buried in the flesh suddenly emitted a little dark Red, the eyelids are gradually covered with soothing tiredness, but now is not the time for him to sleep, so he can only pull himself together and hook the string, "Xiantou, is that you?"

Since no one answered, there was an inconsistent single note on the string. Shi Yanwen closed her eyes, hummed and smiled, and did not ask any more questions. When the song ended, all the unhappiness in her heart disappeared, the coldness gradually disappeared, and the drowsiness faded away. thicker.

Waiting for the piano to end for a long time.

Another person stepped into the hall, and the gorgeous purple attracted the moonlight to stop. Seeing Shi Yanwen lying on the ground, he couldn't help but sighed softly, picked him up and put him on the bed, and untied his hair crown.The corners of Shi Yanwen's mouth still had a gentle and gentle curvature. The visitor sat quietly by the bed and looked at it. He found it beautiful and novel. Since he met this person, he has never seen him have a good night's dream, let alone a smile in his dream. you?Even the newly added scar on the face has a sense of beauty.

But he forgot that this person shouldn't be able to dream now.

He reached out to lift the quilt for him, and couldn't help but touch the shallow marks on his face, it might as well be Shi Yanwen grabbed him suddenly, "Xiantou," the visitor paused, and put his hand away gently, Just as he was about to leave, he heard him whisper, "Juhunzhuang."

The visitor hesitantly brushed the hair on his shoulder with his hand, his voice was inaudible, and he sighed slightly, "Go to sleep."

The power of language is so powerful, obviously there are only two words, it seems to be able to soothe the hesitation in the heart.

Shi Yanwen slept very deeply this time.

The second day was also the last one to wake up, the laughter of childish children pierced through the sky, he quietly opened his eyes and cleaned up.

In the middle of the night yesterday, there was only the little ghost head alone, and today another one woke up. He has been pestering Su Zhenzhen since early in the morning and he will not let go. Fortunately, Su Zhenzhen doesn't need to worry about other things at this moment, so he let them, Qu Shitu just watched from the sidelines. Then, Ye Xiaochai took Meteor Xing and Hao Yueguang to the training ground, but Shuangxiu didn't know where.

When Shi Yanwen stepped into the hall, Su Zhenzhen was instructing the two children in their posture.

"'Arrogance every day, kung fu is increasing day by day', the moves are unstable, and the momentum is not strong. How many times have you practiced in the past half a month?"

The little fox immediately raised his hand, and his soft ears moved, "Master, the little fox is very good!"

The reaction was quick, and a smile flashed in Su Zhenzhen's eyes, and he raised his hand and tapped the kid's forehead, "What about you?"

"I, I'm also very good..."

I'm so unconfident, I'm afraid I can't even believe it myself?Shi Yanwen secretly laughed, not wanting to disturb her, turned her head and walked out again.

Su Zhenzhen looked up, and said to Qu Shitu who had been leisurely for a long time, "Friends, please take them first."

Qu Shitu also saw the back in the distance, waved his hands in response, raised his voice and said sarcasticly, "Go, go, there are new people and forget the old ones, have pity on my hard-working life."

The two children looked at each other.

……

Shi Yanwen wanted to go to the top of the city, originally wanted to see what the battlefield looked like last night, but when passing by the martial arts training ground, he met Shuangxiu.

"..." It turned out that the rumors about the plight were true.

Jumping onto the roof, Yuan Wuxiang turned his eyes when he heard the movement, very surprised, "Why are you here?"

Shi Yanwen didn't understand, so, "Then where should I be?"

"Isn't Su really waiting for you?"

"..." Shi Yanwen recalled the scene in the living room, looked at the people on the training ground, and smiled wryly, "It's rare for their master and apprentice to get together, so they must have a lot to say, why should I bother?"

"Excuse me..." The two looked at each other, and asked tiredly, "You have stayed in the Liuli Wonderland before, and you are not an outsider, so why bother?"

A trace of loneliness flashed in Shi Yanwen's eyes, and he said with emotion, "He is a good master and a good father." It's just that he is afraid of touching the scene and making people laugh.

Yuan Wuxiang tilted his head to look at him, "Is this answering our question?"

"...I have three children, but I only remember their faces, but I can't remember everything they experienced," Shi Yanwen leaned against a pillar on one side, "However, there is one thing that is hard to forget, but it is not a good thing."

This is really not a good topic, Tired Shoutian and Yuan Wuxiang kept silent at the same time, Shi Yanwen fell into memories, thinking about various things, it seems that that incident really had a deep impact on him.

After thinking about it, Shi Yanwen suddenly asked, "Do you know Juhunzhuang?"

Juhunzhuang.

This place is very unique and insignificant. Taoism has never recorded it, but word of mouth is a bit secretive. Tired of asking, "But that branch of Taoism that hides and is cursed every ten years?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Shi Yanwen's eyes, and he looked at them, "You know?"

Yuan Wuxiang nodded, "I have heard that the whereabouts of that branch is uncertain. It absorbs the soul to maintain its vitality. The stronger the soul, the better. The Taoist predecessors did not like this way, but because it is the last branch, the mana is gradually lost, and it is also I can't bear to live and die, but if Yuan Wuxiang's memory is correct, they should be extremely xenophobic, and people of the same vein are not allowed to enter, if your clue is really in that vein?"

"..."

"Shi Yanwen?"

"Sorry, I was distracted just now." He closed his eyes, and the cold feeling of the vest appeared again, and his fingertips were a little cold. "But the extreme xenophobia you mentioned just now, is it really that serious?"

Tired Shoutian said, "I'm afraid it's worse than worse, but I heard that Xianshou once went inside and didn't say a word when he came out, huh?" Tired Shoutian suddenly reacted, "Since you have a relationship with Xianshou The friendship of gifting the piano must have been inquired about, didn't he mention a single word?"

Of course he mentioned that it was probably because of himself that he entered Juhunzhuang, but he said two things, one was his sudden appearance, and the other was that his soul was trapped in the village, but he didn't mention anything about "absorbing souls". living soul to maintain life."

Shi Yanwen turned her back and asked casually, "What kind of soul do you mean by 'absorbing the living soul'? Is it... a person in a difficult situation?"

"like--"

"Yanwen."

Several people were stunned for a moment, and even the people in the martial arts training ground stopped their movements. Su Zhenzhen appeared a little suddenly, as if he came in a flash, and didn't hear any footsteps, and it was nothing more than a big enemy.

He walked up to Shi Yanwen, with a warm smile on his face, and extended his hand to invite, "There is something I want to discuss with you."

Shi Yanwen looked at him, or stared at him, he wanted to see if there was something else in those wise eyes.The red light on the forehead flickered silently, so gorgeous, in stark contrast to the cold face, the air became cold for some reason, all the way down to freezing point, the condensed atmosphere forced people to breathe lightly.

He couldn't see it, although Shi Yanwen knew it, he couldn't see it, if he really wanted to lie to someone, Su Zhenzhen wouldn't be able to see it either.

So knowing too much is actually not a good thing - I really understand your difficulties and fully accept your decision, because I empathize with you, so you can't have any complaints.

Su really put down his hands and looked at Shuangxiu, "What were you talking about just now?"

Shuangxiu looked puzzled, although Su Zhenzhen was asking, but her expression was solemn and serious, but she didn't look like she wanted to listen to their answers.

Shi Yanwen felt that his eyes were a little dry, as if dust had fallen on them, so he closed them as if giving up, and opened them again after a while, his throat moved up and down, "Is it important?"

Su Zhenzhen laughed, grabbed his hand and walked away, "It's very important to you and me, very important."

Shi Yanwen broke away from his hand, and strode to the front, "I'm asking them about something, your timing is really good."

"What's the matter? Maybe Su can know."

"Just a little thing to pass the time."

"Since it's a trivial matter, let's push it back."
