The torn blue cloth strip was covered with mud and dust. Zhuang Yin put the cloth strip into the water to wash it. The moment his hand touched the water, a piercing coldness spread from his fingertips, and the hair on his arm stood on end. To the heart.

The water seemed to suddenly become extremely cold.

Zhuang Yin frowned, retracted his hand, his black and white pupils froze suddenly, a strange human face suddenly appeared in the water, the gray eyes stared at him intently, that shriveled face seemed to have been drained of moisture, densely covered with It is full of difficult and obscure spells.

His heart skipped a beat suddenly, subconsciously holding the sword backhand, before Fengyue was out of its sheath, the ghost face suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

Heart rate gradually increased.He had seen this ghostly face, as well as these pair of emotionless gray eyes, during the Jiangling flood more than ten years ago.Rao is that anyone who sees it will never forget it.

When he was stunned, Wei Ci's voice sounded from behind, "What did you see?" Xie Qi was already standing behind Zhuang Yin, and he had already noticed it as early as the moment he drew his sword.

Zhuang Yin turned around, "Ghost face."

Now it was Xie Qi's turn to frown, "Ghost face? Name? I haven't heard of it.".

"No." Zhuang Yin shook his head and said slowly: "I don't know his name, or even his origin, his whole face is covered with spells. When I was young, I traveled to Jiangling with my master, and met him there. A very serious flood, I saw him that time. Also in the water, he was about to reach out to the master, but I repelled him."

Xie Qi squinted his eyes, and kept rubbing the handle of the knife with his fingers, "At first it seemed that he wanted to sneak attack on your master, but now he appears here again, either your enemy, waiting for an opportunity to kill, or..." He didn't say anything in the middle of the sentence up.

Zhuang Yin raised his eyes, "It's not an enemy, because the master doesn't know him either. The family teacher has passed away long ago. If it's an enemy, it's really embarrassing for him to endure humiliation for so many years. So what is it?"

Xie Qi smiled, "Maybe it was some kind of opportunity that made him reappear more than ten years later, for example, you have something on your body, which was also on your master back then."

Zhuang Yin then shook his head: "Except for this sword and this whisk, there is nothing else."

Xie Qi lowered his eyes, tore off the jade pendant from his waist, shook it, and said with a smirk: "Yes, I even gave me the only piece of jade on my body. Reciprocity, should I also give you something?"

The turn of the conversation was so fast that Zhuang Yin was caught off guard, his eyes were in a trance, and he was slightly distracted: "Huh?"

Before he could react, Xie Qi had already taken something and put it into his hand, it was a light purple sachet, different from the colorful and inferior sachets bought and sold by the children in Jinghua City, this one in his hand It is extremely delicate, embroidered with clusters of elegant apricot flowers, and a lighter purple tassel is attached to the tail, but it seems that it has faded seriously after a long time, and it can hardly smell the fragrance.

Xie Qi looked at the sachet, his gaze slowly softened, "My mother made it herself."

"I don't want it." Zhuang Yin flatly refused, how could he give away his mother's things at will?

"If you don't want it, I'll throw it away. This jade will be returned to you." Xie Qi was about to tear off the jade pendant as he spoke.

There is no reason to take back the things that were sent out, although Zhuang Yin did not believe that he would really throw the sachet, this sachet was faded, but Xie Qi still kept it so well, he must cherish it very much.So he hesitated and nodded with difficulty, "Okay, I'll keep it for you first."

Xie Qi smiled, and suddenly leaned close to Zhuang Yin's ear, "Does it look like a token of love? This sachet, my mother was going to give it to my future daughter-in-law."

The corners of Zhuang Yin's eyes twitched, and he felt that the sachet in his hand was like a hot potato. He was about to stuff it back into Xie Qi's hand, but Xie Qi's red eyes dimmed, and his smile faded away. arrive."

Zhuang Yin held the sachet silently, "I'll keep it for you first. If you... meet a girl from a good family, I'll return it to you."

Xie Qi is noncommittal.

Yan Chengqing, who was squatting on the ground with Yu Lang, pricked up his ears, eavesdropped happily, and thought, "Tsk, Xie Qi has someone he likes, why don't you just give it to her, give it to the Taoist priest first, Give it to the girl again, how tiring it is, it's just unnecessary.And the ghost face mentioned by the Taoist priest, it seems not simple...
