The huge Longyin Mountain Range is famous for its dangers. Few mortals have settled in the mountains. Even if there are, there are only some mortal villages scattered near the town at the foot of the mountain. On this quiet mountain road, where do lost orphans come from?

If it wasn't for Liu Qingfeng's reminder, if she ran alone, she might have gone into the tiger's mouth without knowing it, and she would never return.

Le Xiaoyi was afraid for a while, with lingering fears in his heart.

Looking at Liu Qingfeng's helpless eyes again, Le Xiaoyi blushed from his own ignorance and fearlessness.

"You are still young and have little experience, so you don't have to feel ashamed." Liu Qingfeng stood up, flicking the hem of his clothes with one hand, "There are many dangers in the world, it's fine if you don't encounter them, but if you encounter them unfortunately, you will suffer forever If you are wise, don't worry about your own business, but you will save most of your troubles."

Le Xiaoyi was taught, and humbly answered "Yes".

Liu Qingfeng glanced at the sky, and replied: "Let's go, we will sleep overnight in Tongzhou today, I'm afraid we won't be able to sleep peacefully."

Le Xiaoyi didn't understand the meaning of Liu Qingfeng's words, so he didn't respond.

The master and the apprentice left the Longyin Mountains and passed through the farm villages for a short rest.

The village was full of rice paddies, chickens and dogs heard each other, and occasionally there were two or two farmers standing on the ridges of the fields. Under Liu Qingfeng's instruction, Le Xiaoyi ran into the village and bought some dry food from the nearby people.

When Le Xiaoyi ran back, Liu Qingfeng asked her: "What do you know?"

Le Xiaoyi stopped and handed the cloth bag containing dry food to Liu Qingfeng. Hearing this, he thought about it and said, "There are several corpses on display outside the mill at the head of the village. Many people got together and quarreled over something. The dog kept barking, and the child hid in the door and cried."

"Do you know what's going on?" Liu Qingfeng asked again.

Le Xiaoyi shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't ask."

Liu Qingfeng showed a two-point smile on his face, nodded and said: "Very good."

Le Xiaoyi tugged at his sleeves in embarrassment.

Knowing that she was still curious about the situation in the village, Liu Qingfeng told her: "The baby foxes have been rampant these days, and the animals in the mountains have been expelled from their original domains and scattered around the foot of the mountain. Someone went up the mountain this morning to look for wild ginseng, and happened to be hungry for a few days pack of wolves, and a lot of people died because of it.”

Le Xiaoyi opened his mouth slightly, with a dull expression on his face.

After a while, she thought about the cause and effect of Liu Qingfeng's words. For a moment, she felt sad and sad.

Liu Qingfeng sighed, and stood up: "Life and death are destiny, you and me who practice, the most taboo thing is to interfere with mortal karma."

Le Xiaoyi left the small village with a heavy heart, and followed Liu Qingfeng all the way north.

"Fox babies are spirit beasts, not mortal things. This beast is raging, why is there no one to take care of it?" After walking for a while, Le Xiaoyi is still thinking about this matter, although Liu Qingfeng said that practitioners should not interfere Mortal karma, but if killing a few fox babies can save the life of mortals, wouldn't it be both?

Liu Qingfeng asked without answering: "Do you know wild ginseng?"

Le Xiaoyi was stunned, with doubts on his face: "Yes."

"I went down the mountain yesterday, did you see it on the way?"

"Yes, a lot."

"What about today?"

"Very few."

"Why?"

Le Xiaoyi didn't answer for a while. After thinking for a while, he caught something in his mind and said: "The Sword God Sect is located in the depths of the Longyin Mountains. There are few people, so the mountain ginseng is well preserved, but near the foot of the mountain, mortals are active , almost all the wild ginseng has been dug away."

Liu Qingfeng nodded: "Fox infants feed on animals, and the staple food is ginseng badgers. The wild ginseng was taken away by mortals, and the ginseng badgers were greatly reduced."

"The deeper you go into the Longyin Mountain Range, the higher the cultivation level of the spirit beasts, and the less you can provoke them. The infant foxes don't dare to go deep into the Longyin Mountain Range to hunt, so they can only spread to the periphery and affect the ordinary beast herds." Liu Qingfeng said with a lot of heart and soul.

Le Xiaoyi pursed her lips tightly, and only then did she truly understand the cause and effect Liu Qingfeng said.

The reason why the baby fox came to the outskirts of the Longyin Mountains was because there were too many mortals looking for ginseng in the mountains, lacking in people's hearts, not knowing where to stop, and doing everything for the benefit of money. Now the baby fox is raging and beasts are attacking the village. But the mortals at the foot of the mountain reaped the fruit for themselves.

The balance between heaven, earth and creatures has been disrupted, and no one is innocent.

Le Xiaoyi benefited a lot from this trip down the mountain.

From what she saw along the way, she asked questions when she didn't understand, and Liu Qingfeng answered without hesitation.

Unknowingly, it was dusk again, and the two masters and apprentices went to a small town in Tongzhou. A plaque was hung on the gate of the city, and the inscription "Jinze" was written on it.

Le Xiaoyi raised his eyes and saw a lot of people gathered under the gate of the city. The soldiers guarding the city were maintaining order. There were voices of discussion in the crowd, mentioning words such as "fugitive" and "heinous".

Liu Qingfeng led Le Xiaoyi into the city as if no one was there, notices were posted on the streets and alleys, and many pedestrians stopped to watch.

Le Xiaoyi followed behind Liu Qingfeng, watching his heart, not looking around, not talking nonsense, just waited to find a suitable inn to stay, and then went back to the house to rest.

But they asked several inns along the way, and they were all told that they were full, and tea shops, wine shops and other places were also overcrowded. Even if they didn't ask deliberately, if they stopped among the crowd, they would probably understand the reason.

A death row prisoner who escaped from Longdu traveled all the way westward to Tongzhou, trying to cross the Longyin Mountains, cross the border between the two countries, and flee to the Tiansheng Dynasty.

This person passed through Tongzhou and was recognized by others. Overnight, countless masters of the rivers and lakes gathered in Tongzhou because of sky-high rewards. Every city in Tongzhou was strictly guarded. It is rumored that Longdu even sent a Hades to kill this person. , and brought his body back to Longdu.

Liu Qingfeng will definitely not meddle in Tongzhou's business, and Le Xiaoyi doesn't expect to be of any help when so many masters of the rivers and lakes are actively mobilizing, so he just doesn't care about anything, and An Anxin follows Liu Qingfeng, just waiting for this night Pass safely, and you will arrive in Jeju tomorrow.

Due to the high strength of the fugitives, all cities in Tongzhou sent officials and experts to sit in town, and the whole city had a curfew when it was about to get dark. It was already evening when Liu Qingfeng and Le Xiaoyi arrived in Jinze, and they walked around the city. , Most of the people on the street are gone, and the troops patrolling the city have started to wander around.

"Master, what should we do now?" Le Xiaoyi asked without understanding.

The change came suddenly, even if Liu Qingfeng had the foresight, he would never have expected that the two of them, master and apprentice, would be locked down as soon as they arrived in Jinze, and they still couldn't find a place to live.

Liu Qingfeng glanced at Le Xiaoyi, and said calmly, "Follow me."

Not long after, Le Xiaoyi and Liu Qingfeng stood outside a ruined temple gate full of people and looked at each other.

Le Xiaoyi: "..."

If she had known that Liu Qingfeng looked confident and hadn't thought of a solution, she would have persuaded Liu Qingfeng to go to a few more inns.

But things have come to this, there is a patrol team of the city defense army not far away, it seems that there is indeed no place to stay except for this ruined temple.

Liu Qingfeng said with a wooden face: "Let's just go here."

Le Xiaoyi nodded solemnly: "It's lively here."

Liu Qingfeng: "..."

Although these people from the rivers and lakes gathered in the ruined temple, they were clearly separated from each other. When the two masters and apprentices entered the ruined temple, they immediately attracted a lot of attention. After coming out, more eyes lingered on the well-behaved and handsome Le Xiaoyi.

Someone recognized that Le Xiaoyi was wearing the robe of a disciple of the Sword God Sect, so the person following Le Xiaoyi must be a senior of the Sword God Sect.

Sword God Sect is adjacent to Tongzhou, and there are many forces in Tongzhou that have good relations with Sword God Sect. After the news spread secretly, the eyes that blatantly looked at Le Xiaoyi quickly disappeared.

However, there are also those who are not long-sighted and are not afraid of this. Although they are restrained after being warned by their colleagues, there are still people who secretly observe Le Xiaoyi and Liu Qingfeng from time to time.

There was a bearded man with his two muscular arms bared carelessly, his face flushed abnormally, he was drunk, when he heard someone beside him say that Le Xiaoyi was a disciple of Sword God Sect, he immediately sneered: "Sword God Sect Will someone from the same family settle down in a ruined temple? She pretends to be like her, and she looks so fresh, I'm afraid some young lady is bored in the boudoir and coaxes us to play!"

After his voice fell, everyone around laughed lowly, and some people were afraid of Liu Qingfeng's indifferent face, and gently poked the man's back.

The man was in a bad mood, and the person who stabbed him might have used some force. As soon as he felt the pain, he immediately exploded like a gun barrel on fire: "Who the hell touch me?!"

Someone beside him pulled his arm and tried to make him sit down again, but unexpectedly he got drunk and angrily threw away the support of the people around him, arguing with the person who reminded him about it, and even fought in front of everyone .

The two wrestled, the onlookers dispersed, the person who kindly reminded the drunk was extremely annoyed, he pushed the drunk, and then the drunk staggered towards Le Xiaoyi.

Le Xiaoyi frowned, and pressed his palm on the sword hilt at his waist, ready to dodge at any time.

Suddenly, a dart flew across the sky and pierced the drunk man's neck impartially.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the audience was in an uproar.

Le Xiaoyi took a big step back, and Liu Qingfeng reached out to protect her behind her.

Many people from all walks of life looked at each other in blank dismay, their hearts panicked, but they didn't see where the dart came from.

Liu Qingfeng stared sharply at the outside of the ruined temple. A slight release of the alchemy level would be enough to cause the air pressure in the ruined temple to drop. Everyone skipped a beat at the same time and glanced at Liu Qingfeng in horror.

This ruined temple is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

Then, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the ruined temple.

Everyone held their breath at the same time and turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound.

A beautiful woman dressed in maidservant costume came over, stood in front of the ruined temple gate, and said to everyone in the temple: "My lady passed by here and has nowhere to stay. I want to use this precious place to rest for a night. Please return it to me." It's convenient for you all to make room for an open space."

Everyone in the temple looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking in unison, whose lady is so arrogant?

Whispering voices sounded in the hall, a small number of people moved their positions, but the vast majority of Jiang Hu people stayed in their positions.

Most people who practice martial arts are proud and arrogant, not to mention that everyone is a monk chasing the murderer to prove the Tao. Is the girl bossing you around?

The buzzing of whispers soon began to spread, and the voices of dissatisfaction grew louder.

The little servant girl seemed to have expected this scene, the corner of her mouth curled up, and she warned coldly: "My lady doesn't like noise, if you can't control your mouths, my lady can use other methods to calm down here." Then, her gaze pointedly swept over the corpse that had just fallen to the ground.

The crowd was in an uproar, the murderers were always rampant, but the ruined temple gathered all kinds of masters from all walks of life, there are so many people, how can they be scared away by just a few words?

"Which lady is passing by, why don't you report her name?" A shout came from the crowd, and everyone around responded.

A strange premonition rose in Le Xiaoyi's heart. She didn't follow the people around her, and stayed quietly and obediently with Liu Qingfeng, but she looked at the entrance of the ruined temple without blinking.

The little maid had also seen the world, her eyes sank when she saw this.

"Everyone is a famous figure in the Jianghu. Wouldn't it be out of style to ask someone to name the girl's family every now and then?" Before the little maid opened her mouth, a lazy and wanton voice came from outside the temple.

If you haven't seen him, hear his voice first.

Immediately, I saw a tall and tall figure walking slowly, with a black robe and a jade face, and a handsome face with a sharp knife and axe, which was very recognizable. Almost the moment this person appeared, someone recognized him, and then there was a burst of convulsions in the hall. The sound of air conditioning.

More people only felt that this boy looked familiar, but couldn't remember his name for a while, and couldn't help but look at each other with surprise and suspicion.

The visitor's thin lips lifted, evoking a dull sneer: "I, the dragon son of the West Dragon Palace in the Hanhai Sea, may I have the honor to ask you to give me face?"

Devil Dragon Son!

As soon as the voice fell, the few people standing in the front stepped back a few steps, and the people from the rivers and lakes who were unwilling to move away dispersed, and the crowded ruined temple instantly became empty.

Le Xiaoyi heard someone whispering beside him, his heart sank for a moment, and then he gritted his teeth suddenly.

"Demon Dragon Son? The West Dragon Palace in the Hanhai Sea is thousands of miles away from here, how could the Demon Dragon Son come here?"

"Why? It's not because of Ji Yuxuan! Didn't you hear that Ji Yuxuan appeared in the Longyin Mountain Range two days ago and kidnapped an outer disciple of the Sword God Sect?"

"Ji Yuxuan? That Xuantian demon girl?! What is the relationship between Molongzi and her?"

"You don't know yet? Mo Longzi has admired Ji Yuxuan for a long time, and he came all the way from the West Dragon Palace in Hanhai to see Ji Yuxuan!"

"..."

Le Xiaoyi clenched his hands in his sleeves into fists, almost biting his teeth, thinking to himself: Nonsense!

Ji Yuxuan clearly told her that this Mo Longzi was an insignificant person.

But the annoying whispers continued.

"So the lady that girl is talking about is Ji Yuxuan, right? I heard that Molongzi is an innate master. Ji Yuxuan is a junior who has just come out of the rivers and lakes. He is only in his twenties at best. Where does he get so much energy? So there is Molongzi Covering her, no wonder it's so horizontal!"

"Then you are completely wrong. Don't look at Ji Yuxuan's young age, she is very capable! Where is Xuantian Palace? She became the young palace master at the age of 16, and there are countless male pets in her boudoir. She is so fascinated by her face that she is willing to smile for the beauty, even Nangong Que of Nangong Mansion is one of her many lovers! What's more, Shen Hao, the disciple of the sword ancestor of the Shenbingmen, Xuanyuanke, the son of the Chongjun Prince of Longdu, and the magic dragon The child may not be able to rank the top number!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a sound of gasping around, and the few people he listed were all people who could cause turmoil in the world by stomping their feet.

Le Xiaoyi's chest heaved violently twice, Liu Qingfeng glanced at her, and secretly sighed.

From his point of view, Le Xiaoyi was captured by Ji Yuxuan before and walked away in the ghost gate. He must hate Ji Yuxuan very much. He never thought that the enemy's road is narrow, and he can meet him if he just finds a ruined temple to rest.

He turned sideways and kept Le Xiaoyi behind him, so Ji Yuxuan might come in and see her later.

Le Xiaoyi's fingernails poked into the flesh of her palm, and the pain stimulated her to regain some sanity. The hearsay news in the world cannot be trusted. Take Nangong Que as an example. She has seen Nan Gongque and Ji Yuxuan get along with her own eyes. Gong Que has the obsession with Long Yang, so it is nonsense to talk about what he has with Ji Yuxuan!

Ji Yuxuan personally said that Mo Longzi was an insignificant person, so she naturally believed in Ji Yuxuan, and didn't believe these rambunctious people from the rivers and lakes.

The day before yesterday they were embracing each other and proving their hearts to each other, Ji Yuxuan couldn't have lied to her!

Nonsense!

Le Xiaoyi repeated it in his heart, took a few more breaths, and suppressed the fire stuck in his throat. Apart from being pale, there was no hint of anger on his face.

As soon as Mo Longzi came out, he effectively suppressed the commotion in the ruined temple, and there was some movement outside the door again.

People from Xuantian Palace filed in one after another, cleaned up the space vacated by everyone, and dragged away the corpses, then spread two layers of thin blankets on the ground, brought a charcoal basin to light a fire, and set up a low table , put on the preserved fruit tea...

People from all walks of life: "..."

When everything was ready, the small open space was arranged by the people of Xuantian Palace so that it was incompatible with the environment of the ruined temple. Ji Yuxuan, dressed in brocade clothes, came slowly with the help of the maidservant, walked sideways by Molongzi, and walked side by side with him Into the ruined temple.

She changed into a slightly luxurious robe today. The bright red dress was embroidered with patterns of gold and silver threads, and there was a small embroidered pouch hanging around her waist. She really looked like a rich lady who was away from home, with a slim figure , behave calmly.

Her long hair, which was as black as ink and soft and shiny, was tied up in a snake bun, and a blood jade gold hairpin was pinned to the top of her hair, which made her skin white as jade, and her long eyelashes like feathers.

She is full of honor and favor, but she is charming but not coquettish, with a soft curve on her lips that seems to be a smile that is not a smile, and a pair of quiet and deep eyes that seem to hide countless secrets. amorous feelings.

As soon as Ji Yuxuan appeared, everyone's eyes were naturally attracted to her, and the whispers just now turned into gasps.

Even the swordsman who talked about Ji Yuxuan's fame, but had a look of disdain on his face, the moment he saw Ji Yuxuan with his own eyes, he couldn't even speak clearly, and he forgot the next sentence as soon as he said it. No one around him listened to what he had to say.

Ji Yuxuan's eyes seemed to pass by the crowd inadvertently, paused for a moment on Le Xiaoyi who was hiding behind Liu Qingfeng, then moved away in an instant, with a just right smile on her lips, neither alienated nor indifferent, on the paved thin Sit on the blanket.

Mo Longzi flicked his sleeves, and the cold snort sounded like thunder in everyone's ears.

The time that was suddenly frozen because of Ji Yuxuan's appearance began to flow again. Those people in the Jianghu who were in a trance were all bowing their heads in embarrassment, blushing, and they were easily defeated by a woman's appearance!

Mo Longzi sat down on a futon opposite the short table, and the people from Xuantian Palace beside him immediately stepped forward and poured two glasses of sake for Ji Yuxuan and Mo Longzi.

"This place is simple, so don't lose your interest." Mo Longzi withdrew his warning gaze, put a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of Ji Yuxuan, and thoughtfully put the silver chopsticks at hand for her.

Ji Yuxuan glanced at the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes on the plate, but in her heart she missed the chestnut cakes sold on the West Street when she was a child. Every time she travels, no matter how far or near, Le Xiaoyi always stops by Lanting Pavilion, trots all the way back, and packs the chestnut cakes Put it on a plate and let her eat it while it's hot.

But the little fool didn't know that before she went to Ji's mansion, although Ji Yuxuan also liked chestnut cakes, but because there was a cook at home who was good at pastries, she didn't go to Lanting Pavilion often.

It was the first time Le Xiaoyi passed by Lanting Pavilion, and she could not walk because of the smell. Ji Yuxuan saw that she was embarrassed to say that she wanted to eat chestnut cake, so she took her hand and said to her: "I like the chestnut cake here very much." Cake, go buy some for me."

She intentionally only ate one or two yuan each time to tell her she was full, and then Le Xiaoyi ate all the rest while nagging her that she ate too little.
