"you……!"

"Don't worry, Lian Yinmen's hidden weapons are never poisoned, but although they won't kill you, they will let you stay here for a few hours. And these few hours are enough for me to take Qi Nian away."

"That's how you protect him?"

"Who I want to protect has nothing to do with you."

"But have you ever thought about what happened at the big banquet at the Praying Mansion that day?"

Lian Meng paused for a moment: "I'm not interested."

"Oh, it seems that you are also a sloppy trash. It's just because of the good-looking Qi Nian, so I won't argue right and wrong."

"..." Lian Meng didn't speak.

He really didn't know what happened that day, but if he had to choose between Qi Nian and this group of people, he would definitely not choose the latter.

"However, he has already expected your choice."

"he?"

The Miao girl didn't explain. She looked at Lian Meng and suddenly smiled meaningfully: "Speaking of which, you are also very naive. Since we have to take Qi Nian back on this trip, why did we only send someone to find you?"

"...!"

Lian Meng was shocked.

He had expected that this matter would not be so simple.

But even if the other party really diverts the tiger away from the mountain, he is really at a loss.

But now that the words have been clarified, he didn't care what the man had to say, so he hurriedly flew towards the hut with light kung fu.

Qianyue Town in the night suddenly became unusually quiet.

Even though some houses were brightly lit, no human voice could be heard.

Lian Meng hurried between roof tiles and houses, but strangely couldn't find the familiar flower garden.

At this time, he suddenly heard some human voices coming from a path under his feet.

That voice sounded familiar.Lian Meng was a little curious, but he wasn't going to stop and investigate.He was worried that this was also a trick those people used to trip him, until he heard the voice of praying for the new year under the eaves.

"I didn't expect that you really followed me for so long."

The voice sounded a little cold and harsh, Lian Meng felt a little strange, stopped, turned his head and looked down, who knows, what he saw was the hazy shadow of "Qing Nian".

He didn't know why he saw those "visions of the past" at this moment, but stopped unconsciously.

At that time, it seemed to be raining lightly, and "Qinian" stood in front of a group of people holding an umbrella.

Lian Meng leaned over to take a look, but suddenly found that standing in front of "Qinian" were the four people he had met earlier.

"Young Master Qi is joking. If you didn't want us to follow, how could we be able to follow you all the way?"

"Qi Nian" chuckled, but did not retort: ​​"Since this is the case, then you should also know that if I don't want you to follow me, what should you do?"

"..." The Miao girl didn't speak, but the man in purple behind her spoke first, "We are ordered by the leader."

"Oh, your leader may not live long, so what's the point of following his order?"

"Pray for the New Year, you...!"

"What's the matter with me?" When he spoke, there was an inexplicable arrogance in his tone, which made people not think of that elegant and sick young master at all.

The other four seemed to be afraid of him, although they were angry in their hearts, they did not speak out to refute.

"Qi Nian" glanced at them, his left hand holding the umbrella seemed to shake slightly, and then he said slowly: "Okay, we will start tomorrow, you just follow here."

Seeing that he was about to leave, at this moment, someone finally lost his temper.

The man standing behind the Miao girl on the right suddenly took a step forward eagerly: "Young Master Qi is really planning to leave tomorrow?"

"En." "Qi Nian" responded impatiently.

"Then, are you not going to ask about that young man who has been walking with you?"

The pace of "Qi Nian" obviously slowed down.He paused for a moment, but asked him in a flat tone, "Who are you talking about?"

"It's the one in black with a high ponytail."

"..." The person holding the umbrella obviously didn't move.

"He yells by your side every day that 'Mr. Praying' is long, and 'Mr. Praying' is short...why, it's only been a few days, you don't remember?"

"Qinian" still didn't speak, and after waiting for a while, he replied slowly: "I remember what you said. But what does that young man have to do with me, it's worth mentioning now?"

"So it doesn't matter?" The man in purple replied pretending to be surprised, "I see him always appearing by your side, so I thought he was someone from you."

"..."

"Besides, if it really has nothing to do with it, why did he try to protect you a few days ago?"

"What exactly do you want to say?" "Qi Nian" asked calmly as his voice turned cold.

Seeing his sudden change of attitude, the man stopped beating around the bush: "Your friend is in our hands. If you don't want him to have an accident, come back with us right away."

"..." "Qi Nian" did not speak.

The rain in the phantom seemed to be getting heavier.

The oil-paper umbrella held by "Qinian" moved slightly, but it was only for a moment, and the next moment, he continued to walk away.

"If you want to kill him, you can do whatever you want. Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me."

Lian Meng's heart tightened when he heard that.

At this time, it seemed like a thunderbolt flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, the five hazy shadows in the rainy night disappeared at once.

Then a suspicious voice came from below: "What are you doing up there?"

Lian Meng was startled all over.

He hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, only to realize that the person standing under the eaves was the storyteller again.

"I'm going out for a walk." He took a breath, and then jumped off the roof.

"Did you go to the room after this stroll?" The man looked at him suspiciously.

Lian Meng didn't intend to explain, he turned around and looked around, and was about to leave.

"Are you so bothered seeing me?"

"I still have something to say, I don't have time to talk about it."

"Oh? Then you can still find your way back?"

"..."

Realizing that something was wrong, Lian Meng stopped immediately.

"Some people have cast some spells on this small town. I'm afraid you won't be able to get out for a while."

"Really?" Lian Meng asked calmly.

In fact, he should have thought before that the reason why this person knows so many things is not just because of traveling around these years.

It's just that he missed the worst possibility.

The storyteller stroked his beard and walked slowly towards Lian Meng: "The young man is still young, why should he ruin his great future for an irrelevant person?"

"A great future?" Hearing this sentence, Lian Meng laughed out loud, "I'm just a small person who doesn't rank well in the Jianghu. What great future can I have?"

As he spoke, he turned around slowly, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the strange smile on the man's face.

"You know what I mean."

"Oh?"

"Your strength alone is not enough to make an enemy of the Celestial Silkworm Sect."

Lian Meng laughed softly: "I never thought about making enemies with anyone, I just blame you for being too entangled."

The surrounding area became more and more quiet.

The moonlight was alluring, but it made the surroundings pale, cold, eerie and dead.

Lian Meng looked at the person in front of him, and suddenly noticed that there was a mask-like leather cover on his temples, thinking, he really had another secret.

"Speaking of which, I've always been curious, why did you join Qi Nian? With your force, it's not difficult to get that jade pendant."

"This is my own business, I don't need to explain to you."

"Okay," he shrugged, and he didn't seem to force it, "I'm just curious, don't you have even the slightest suspicion?"

"Doubt what?"

"Pray for the new year."

"..."

Seeing that Lian Meng didn't answer, he continued: "That day's prayer mansion banquet was not groundless. Those Tiancan sect disciples who died innocently happened to enter the other courtyard of Qi Nian by mistake before they died. I guess they It may be that I saw something shady, so I picked the disaster of killing."

"Your conjectures are nothing but groundless guesses. Only those who are dead will know."

The man nodded: "What you said is also reasonable. That's why we didn't kill the killer for a long time, but followed all the way here."

"Why here instead of other places?" Lian Meng raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Because, getting here is enough."

"..." Lian Meng suddenly raised his guard and looked over vigilantly.

"You don't need to be too nervous. If I want to take your life, I can do it just now."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"I just want to talk to you about something you didn't discover along the way."

"for example?"

"That day after you left the Qi Mansion and came to the Peony Pavilion, we actually carried out a surprise attack."

"what?"

"At that time, you were trapped in your room by the matter of Shounan Mountain. When we took advantage of Lingyin to leave, we thought about taking Qi Nian away... Unexpectedly, the people we sent were all dead."

"..."

Lian Meng remembered that there was a thunderstorm that day, and he did hear some strange noises outside the window.It's just that when he came outside, he only saw some hazy illusions.

"You want to say that's what Qi Nian did?"

"He was the only one in the room at the time." He continued, "And the body was disposed of quickly. Presumably he asked the boss of Xiang to send someone to remove it."

"Boss Xiang?"

"They have a very good personal relationship, don't they? Besides, haven't you ever wondered why people from the Tiancan Sect came to Shounan Mountain to test the medicine for the medicine man who prayed for the new year?"

"I have to ask you this."

The man smiled slightly, and continued: "Afterwards, you arrived at the Xingshu Forest. Qi Nian met the 'evil ghost' who was demanding his life."

"..."

"The appearance of this person was a complete accident. Qi Nian must have never expected that he would secretly poison him. But we can't blame him. It took us a while to see the weirdness."

The "strangeness" he said should refer to the fact that all the people living in the apricot forest have decayed.But what happened in the forest was more than just this one strange thing.for example……

"For example, why is the time there different from outside, and... why does the blind old man also have a white jade peony flower pendant, right?"

Lian Mengxiang heard from the Miao girl before that the flower pendant and hairpin were just tokens of identification, and the blind old man said that the flower pendant was left by Bai Zang...

The man suddenly smiled: "In fact, you have already guessed a little bit, but you just don't want to face it. But it doesn't matter." He shook his head and continued, "Later, you came to Qianyue Town again. You met I fell in love with a crazy monk, and he has seen many strange things, and he even has a lot of the same things on his body."

"But why did you kill him to silence him?"

"Us?" The storyteller was startled when he heard that, he looked at Lian Meng and shook his head again, "That's not an order from the Tiancan Sect, but my own selfishness."

"selfish?"

"Well. He's been miserable for too long."

"..."

Seeing Lian Meng looking at him with a frown, the man asked a little strangely: "Why, is this difficult to understand? Didn't your Mr. Qi already tell you...all this is just 'reversal of time, start all over again' ?”

"Is everything he said true?"

"Of course it's true, it's just not that simple."

"..."

"Think about it, what's so special about those ordinary keepsakes? What's special is just the fact that 'they always appear more than once'."

"..." Lian Meng still half understood, but suddenly, as if he understood something, he replied in shock, "You mean..."

"Yes, you are right. All these things have indeed happened more than once."
