Still pity the grass and trees

This time, there were still two killers, one hiding in the bushes and firing cold arrows, the other leaping out with a spear.

Just as Ji Tanyin was about to draw his sword, Xie Wufeng pressed his hand and ordered: "You go back to the carriage and don't move your true energy."

He looked very calm, under the hazy moonlight, his brows and eyes seemed to have changed subtly, the usual lethargy and carelessness disappeared, and there was something inexplicable added.

Ji Tanyin hesitated and sat back in the carriage, opened the curtain and looked out, her scalp numb from nervousness.I saw a long gun coming straight towards Xie Wufeng in a menacing manner. Xie Wufeng held it up lightly, and instead of retreating, the two weapons rubbed against each other rapidly, sparking clusters of dazzling sparks in an instant!The Shensha sword was short, and the man relied on his large attack range, swung the steel spear, and swept towards Xie Wufeng's lower body.Xie Wufeng seemed to have expected this move, he jumped up calmly, with a flash of his clothes, he was two feet in front of the killer, and the Shensha sword stabbed straight into his chest and abdomen.The man was so startled that he took a few steps back, and hastily turned his spear to block, but Xie Wufeng suddenly changed his sword posture and slashed towards his left knee!

Ji Tanyin gasped, it was hard to describe the shock in his heart.This is the first time he has seen Wuchang swordsmanship. It is different from Yushan swordsmanship's lightness and continuousness. This set of swordsmanship is mysterious and unpredictable. The angle of the sword and the timing of changes are unpredictable. It is coherent, very weird, but its moves are ruthless and point to the vitals.He followed the trajectory of the Shensha sword with his enthusiastic eyes, secretly comparing it with the Yushan sword technique, and kept thinking, how could this happen?What is this trick?Who will make moves from this angle?so close!

However, after three or four moves, the killer who shot cold arrows realized that Xie Wufeng was not an ordinary person, and jumped out of his hiding place to support his companions.

Xie Wufeng used one against two, without losing the wind at all. His sword moves became more and more strange and fierce. In the flickering sword light, the man with the spear let out a hoarse roar. The spear fell down with his right hand, and blood sprayed from the broken wrist.

Another assassin used an iron whip, and the black iron chain as thick as his thumb entangled Chen Shajian. Ji Tanyin let out a low cry of worry, but saw Xie Wufeng take a step forward to the right. Wrapped in the middle and went upstream, piercing the opponent's heart.

too fast!

The man's only exposed eye suddenly widened, staring at the sharp sword piercing his body in disbelief.

Ji Tanyin, who was on the sidelines, was agitated in his heart, and suddenly came back to his senses, shouting: "Keep alive!"

Xie Wufeng hurriedly pinched the killer's jaw, but the man had been prepared, the poison was contained under the base of his tongue, it would shatter when he bit it, his knees went limp in an instant, and he knelt down on the ground.The man who had broken his wrist before, knowing that he was invincible, swallowed the poison quietly after falling to the ground, and now he is also a corpse.

Xie Wufeng took off the hoods of the two of them, the killer's appearance was very ordinary, not a famous person.Opening the mouth and looking again, both of their tongues were cut off in half, even if they were alive, they could not speak.

Ji Tanyin jumped out of the carriage, walked quickly to Xie Wufeng's side, and asked, "Can you see where it came from?"

Xie Wufeng shook his head, scratched the clothes of the killer who made the iron whip two or three times, and looked down.The man was lying naked, with a dark complexion, thick muscles, and many old scars on his chest and back. He looked like an ordinary martial arts practitioner.Following his example, Ji Tanyin stripped off the man with the spear, hooked the corpse with his toes and turned it over, and suddenly something fell out.

It was a long and narrow wooden sign, two fingers wide and three inches long, made of high-quality huanghuali wood, with a number "42" engraved on it.

Xie Wufeng picked up the shattered clothes of another assassin with the Shensha sword, and sure enough, a wooden sign with "41" was engraved on it.

Ji Tanyin observed over and over again. Except for the numbers, the two wooden signs were plain and unremarkable. "What does it mean? Number?"

"Looks like it. Put it away and talk about it later."

The moonlight tonight is very thin, and when it falls on the mountains and bushes, it can't illuminate anything, but they look extraordinarily gloomy.There was a wolf howling in the distance, the wind rustled the leaves, and the terrifying atmosphere made the horses twitch uncomfortably.

Xie Wufeng said: "Hurry up overnight, the terrain here is suitable for ambushes, which is not good for us."

Sitting in the cushioned carriage, Ji Tanyin looked at Xie Wufeng's back as he was driving, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for saving me again."

Xie Wufeng remained silent, Ji Tanyin said again: "You are amazing."

Xie Wufeng let out a short and light laugh.Ji Tanyin asked: "Who is your master?"

"Want to know?"

Ji Tanyin gave an honest "hmm".

"Then let's exchange questions."

Ji Tanyin got out of the carriage and sat on the narrow shaft with Xie Wufeng.

Xie Wufeng frowned slightly: "The wind is strong, you go in."

Ji Tanyin refused, pulled out an embroidered quilt, put it on the two of them, and smiled at Xie Wufeng.This smile may not have any special meaning, but it made Xie Wufeng panic, the rein was pulled tightly under his hand, and the horse neighed for a while.

"My master has no name or surname in the martial arts world. He calls himself Chiwei Immortal. He has lived in Chiwei Islet all his life. He only left once 20 years ago. That time, he picked me up."

Ji Tanyin did not expect that he was also an orphan, so he raised his head in surprise, his eyes were as round and hazy as the moon in the sky. "It's your turn," Xie Wufeng put his arms around his waist calmly, and asked, "Is Ah Yin still annoying me?"

Ji Tanyin opened his mouth, his gaze became sticky because it contained too much emotion.After a while, he slowly shook his head and said, "Don't be annoyed, but you can't lie to me anymore."

Xie Wufeng simply said: "Okay, I won't lie to you again."

"I still feel like a dream, although I saw it just now, but—" Ji Tanyin stared at Xie Wufeng and smiled, "You are very different from the rumors."

"Because I'm good-looking?"

Ji Tanyin blushed: "It's my turn to ask! Where is Chiwei Island?"

"At sea, far, far away."

"Is it fun?"

"It's not fun, it's boring."

"I've never seen the sea."

The long night was spent in whispers.Ji Tanyin fell asleep at some point, her head tilted on Xie Wufeng's shoulder, her lips were squeezed slightly open.Xie Wufeng drove the car while yawning, and occasionally glanced at his sleeping face, feeling satisfied and peaceful.

This night was not an exchange of secrets.Ji Tanyin is very smart, he avoided Xie Wufeng's unwillingness to mention his life experience and martial arts learning process, and only picked up some irrelevant questions to ask, so after a night passed, he learned about Chiwei Island's unique flowers and trees, house styles, strange fish, and even dreams There is a sea of ​​blue water.

At noon on the second day, Ji Tanyin opened his eyes, and in front of him was a piece of satin clothes. He was stunned for a while, and heard a familiar voice above his head: "Are you awake?"

With a movement of Ji Tanyin's arms, he felt that his arms were full. Looking carefully, he found that he had slept all night holding Xie Wufeng's waist.He hastily withdrew his hand, trying to hide the distance between the two of them.From the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of Xie Wufeng Jingui's clothes being crumpled by him, felt very embarrassed, and stretched out his hands to stretch them for him.

Ji Tanyin's hands were not soft at all, through the thin silk, Xie Wufeng could feel the hard calluses on his fingertips, and his lower abdomen involuntarily tightened.Ji Tanyin didn't notice it, and was still helping him tidy his clothes seriously.

"Okay, it's okay," Xie Wufeng grabbed his wrist and gently pushed it away.

The carriage had stopped, and there was a bare hill on the left, and a dry stream on the right.

Xie Wufeng said: "Last night, I fed you a elixir. If you are lucky, your internal injuries will be better."

Ji Tanyin closed his eyes and exercised his kung fu, feeling the warmth of his dantian, the real air flowing through his limbs, and most of the damaged meridians have been repaired, he said pleasantly, "Is it the magic medicine from Chiwei Island?"

Now he is full of longing for Chiwei Islet, and thinks it is a mysterious and wonderful place.

Xie Wufeng raised his eyebrows, and laughed: "No, it's just an ordinary qi-preserving pill."

Ji Tanyin pouted.

There was another silence.Xie Wufeng unscrewed the jug and took a sip, then asked in a low voice, "What's your plan next? Are you still going to find old Gongqian?"

Ji Tanyin said "hmm": "They won't let me check, but I want to check."

"Old man Gongqian has a weird temper and his whereabouts are erratic. Even if you find him, there are hundreds of people who have bought bones over the years. How do you find out?"

Ji Tan was silent for a while, and said, "I have to try."

"I don't know when the next batch of killers will come again," Xie Wufeng asked sharply, "Aren't you afraid of death? You are still so young."

Ji Tanyin recalled the night of the fierce fight with two killers on Shangqiu Street, and her despair and unwillingness were rekindled almost instantly.Of course he was afraid of death.

When he was silent, Xie Wufeng said again: "Even if you are righteous and put life and death aside, what about your master? He raised you, and you have the heart to ask him to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person?"

Speaking of Master, Ji Tanyin trembled even more. At this time, Xie Wufeng held his hand, put on his usual frivolous demeanor, and said with a smile: "Even if you are willing to part with it, I am not. Isn't it just looking for old man Gongqian? I will accompany you." you go."

Ji Tanyin suddenly raised his head and looked at him in disbelief, a little hesitation mixed with surprise: "But aren't you going to Kaifeng Mansion?"

"It doesn't matter."

Ji Tanyin was moved: "You are a good person."

Xie Wufeng paused holding the hand of the flagon, and pulled one corner of his mouth self-deprecatingly: "I am not. I have no plans for you."

Ji Tanyin shook his head, propped one cheek with his right hand, and said stubbornly: "You are a good man." He suddenly remembered something, his expression became serious, and advised Xie Wufeng not to steal any more.

"Although it is robbing the rich and giving to the poor, it is also against the law."

"Law?" Xie Wufeng sneered, "What if the law is unjust?"

Ji Tanyin was taken aback for a moment, not quite understanding what he meant, and advised, "But what if one day you miss and are caught in jail?"

Xie Wufeng approached, blinked at him ambiguously, and the breath he exhaled brushed Ji Tanyin's slender eyelashes: "Then will you come to save me? Come to rob the prison like it is written in the drama?"

Before Ji Tanyin could answer, Xie Wufeng smiled narrowly, passed him and got into the carriage, and found half a wrapped crystal goose.

There are many dead branches and leaves on both sides of the road, Xie Wufeng gathered them into a pile, lit it with flint, and broke a branch from the big tree beside the road, peeled off the outer skin, and put the goose meat on it.He greeted Ji Tanyin: "Come here to bake, my clothes are new, I'm afraid they will be blackened by the smoke."

Ji Tanyin glared at him, jumped out of the carriage, took the goose meat and started roasting it.

Accompanied by the sound of the goose meat sizzling, the two reorganized everything that happened after they met the pockmarked face, trying to find some clues about who was behind the scenes.

Ji Tanyin said: "I'm still suspicious of the Beggar Gang. They have many disciples and wander around the streets and alleys all day long. Any news will be heard immediately."

Xie Wufeng pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "It's not like. The person who chased you these two days was unknown in the Jianghu, but his martial arts were extremely high. He was clearly a dead soldier who had been raised for many years. Although the beggar gang has a large stall, its organization is loose. The disciples are also mediocre, so they cannot train such masters."

"But the Beggar Gang has the most favorable location. Who else can arrive in time besides them?"

"A lot. Did you forget that Shen Pei had a big banquet a few days ago? Almost both black and white went. After Mr. Cai died, everyone dispersed in a rush. There may be some who lived in Shangqiu County at that time, or slept in the nearby mountains. How many sects."

When Ji Tanyin was reminded by him, he suddenly realized "Ah", and then sighed: "But in this way, the scope of suspicion is too large. It is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack."

Xie Wufeng shook his fan slowly, said something, and paused for a while: "Think about it differently, the other party is in the dark, and you are in the light. They have already killed the pockmarked face and kidnapped Zhang Wen, and they have done everything well, so why are they chasing after you?" Reluctant? Did you accidentally discover some secret?"

Ji Tanyin said with a bitter face: "I think so too, but apart from the wooden sign I found from those two villains last night, I don't know any other clues."

"Then there is only one explanation. The other party knows that you are the disciple of Yushan Shenjian, and you four are master and apprentice," Xie Wufeng said, and stretched out his index finger to poke Ji Tanyin's forehead, "You are all dead-headed, if you don't find out the truth, I promise not to give up."

Although he was scolding, Ji Tanyin felt a little appreciation, and smiled proudly. When he was about to speak, he suddenly smelled a pungent smell. When he looked down, the goose meat had turned into a black lump. group.
