Madame Demon has lost her memory

While Xie Yulan was extremely tired and fell asleep, Qin Lanzhi lightly cleaned up the mess on the ground, arranged his clothes and asked Xiao Yueer to stay outside while he went to the mourning hall.

Lao Liu and Du Yijie were standing outside the mourning hall with grim expressions, facing off with Li Muzhi, the eldest girl of the Huaishan Gate.

Li Muzhi blocked the steps and did not allow people from Wanhe Palace to enter to pay homage. The elders of Huaishan Gate whispered to persuade, but they couldn't persuade this stubborn and proud girl.

"Second Grandfather, stop talking!" Li Muzhi said with a cold face, eyes lifted, "Wanhe Palace Poison Ring is still suspected, I will never let him enter this door!"

"This matter has not yet been settled, it is better to wait for the leader to come..."

"Who doesn't know that Wanhe Palace has a very close relationship with the leader of the alliance!" Li Muzhi said in a low voice, but everyone present could hear him clearly, "The leader and the third son Xie are distant relatives, and the third son Xie is married to that devil Qin Lanzhi." head……"

Before the words were finished, the sixth child yelled: "Little girl, who is your name? Didn't anyone teach you to respect your elders?"

The elder of Huaishan Gate frowned tightly. He watched Li Muzhi grow up, so he naturally knew what kind of temper Li Muzhi had.

Unfortunately, the eldest young master is also ill now, and no one can take care of Li Muzhi. He was devastated, and when he saw Qin Lanzhi approaching from a distance, he hurriedly blocked Li Muzhi, and explained: "My girl is young and vigorous, and she is eager to avenge her father. Lord Haihan."

Qin Lanzhi ignored them, and only asked the sixth child, "Have you ever offered incense?"

The sixth child took a step back, stood behind Qin Lanzhi's left side, lowered his head, "I didn't get in."

Qin Lanzhi turned around and left: "Forget it then. The two of you will go out with me, and the others will guard Yu Lan. Without my permission, no one will disturb you."

The hidden guards responded in unison: "Yes!"

Seeing that the person was about to leave, the Great Elder hurriedly followed him: "Where is the Master Qin going? Do you need someone to help guide the way?"

"No need." Qin Lan's eyes did not squint.

The Great Elder said in a low voice: "Muzhi...she is too anxious. The person who murdered the head of the sect has not been found yet, something happened to the eldest young master, and the Huaishan sect has undergone major changes. She is still young, and her words and deeds are somewhat inappropriate. Master Qin, don't argue with her..."

"It's okay." Qin Lan said, "On the day when the truth comes out, I can just ask the eldest girl to apologize to Wanhe Palace and Du Yijie."

The Great Elder nodded helplessly: "This is natural."

After leaving Huaishan Gate, Du Yijie put on a bamboo hat, covering most of his wretched face, and asked, "Master, where are we going?"

"Take a stroll." Qin Lan's gaze was cold, completely different from when he was facing his wife. His whole body was full of sternness and coldness, like the first ax that opened up the world, with a slight cold glow.

Lao Liu looked back and snorted coldly: "The Huaishan Gate also takes themselves seriously."

"The dead are the big ones." Qin Lanzhi glanced at Lao Liu warningly, who touched his bald head and finally shut up.

The three of them walked slowly on the street, probably because something important happened in Huaishan Sect, and other Jianghu Sects often sent people to express their condolences.

The early autumn sun shines on the ground covered with golden leaves, and the air is full of the smell of dried nuts and leaves.The three of them walked around an alley, and saw that it was crowded with all kinds of small stalls. For some reason, these shops didn't dare to shout loudly, and only hung various colored cloth strips in front of the stalls. Greeting: "Guest, what do you want to eat?"

"Sweet soup, sweet soup, fermented glutinous rice wine, old green plum..."

"Guest, come here and have a look, the freshly baked salted duck is crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside, look at the color..."

Old Six wondered: "Why are they all crowded here doing business, who can see it?"

Du Yijie's small eyes looked over from behind the veil of the bamboo hat, and said with a grin: "Didn't you see that they didn't even dare to yell? I'm afraid they are hiding from someone."

Qin Lanzhi didn't speak, just walked around the alley, and ordinary people came to buy vegetables with baskets on their shoulders. If the boss and the customer knew each other, they would gather together and whisper together, and the air was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.

Qin Lanzhi conveniently bought some appetizing snacks for his daughter-in-law. This place is no different than Jutai Town, and there are not so many shredded oranges for sale. He walked around from the beginning to the end, and brought a small pot of green plum wine in a white porcelain bottle. When the lid was opened, the fragrance spread everywhere. Overflowing, mouth-watering.

"Master." The sixth child was very fast, and after inquiring around, he leaned into Qin Lanzhi's ear and whispered, "This Huaishan Sect is really powerful. After the head passed away, ordinary people in Yunshan City were not allowed to set up stalls for entertainment. Let the entire Yunshan City follow suit for 99 days with a mournful face and abstinence. How do you say this? Do you think you are the Emperor of Earth?"

Except for hawkers who sell vegetables and do business during the day, no other entertainment activities can be carried out. Those hawkers who have no shops and can only set up stalls along the street were driven to a corner and were not allowed to shout on the street, so as not to appear disrespectful to the deceased.

Du Yijie's voice was hoarse and quacking, like a bird announcing mourning, he said inexplicably, "Looking at the Huaishan Gate's arrogance, you should know that they are not easy to get along with."

"This is really..." Lao Liu stroked his bald head and said hey, "He kept saying that we are the Demon Cult, really giving them face."

Qin Lanzhi was not surprised at all, and continued walking with the things bought for his daughter-in-law. Along the way, he passed the local yamen, and there were some shops doing ordinary business. Looking along the way, Qin Lan already had a bottom line in his heart.

"Go back." Qin Lan said, "We can talk about the rest when that person comes."

That person, of course, refers to the leader of the martial arts alliance.

Du Yijie followed behind and asked, "Does the leader already know something?"

"Before you get the evidence, everything you say is useless." Qin Lanzhi said, "But this is a bit like that time..."

"At that time?"

"When we met Yu Lan for the first time." Qin Lanzhi recalled the past, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and his expression softened a lot, "He wanted to avenge his family, secretly investigated Wanhe Palace, and tried every means to pretend to plan to go up the mountain, but he still couldn't do it."

Thinking of the youthful, innocent and romantic daughter-in-law at that time, Qin Lan's palms were itchy, and she couldn't help rubbing her fingertips against her palms: "He was well protected by the Xie family, and he didn't know much about human relationships, so he was especially easy to be fooled by others. Misleading and deceiving. At that time, in order to see me, he lay in ambush for more than half a year at the foot of the mountain, do you still remember?"

"Of course I remember." Lao Liu immediately said, "We have been watching him since the first day Madam entered Jutai Town, and his every move has been under our surveillance, but Madam didn't know anything, and thought that I hid myself well."

The sixth child couldn't help laughing: "Until half a year later, during the Lantern Festival, Jutai Town was filled with lanterns, and people from the neighboring town also came to watch the lanterns. I remember that there were so many people that day, and it was rare for the leader to go down the mountain to join in the fun .”

That was their first encounter.

Qin Lanzhi was very busy every day. He knew that the young master of the Xie family had come to Jutai Town, and the sixth son and the others kept watching.He wasn't interested in this until the day of the Lantern Festival, when all the people from Wanhe Palace went down the mountain to play. Hua San was afraid that his leader would get bored, so he and Xiaoyue'er encouraged the leader to go down the mountain, and even fought with the leader. Bet, bet he won't be able to win the biggest orange lantern in Jutai Town - that's a huge lantern made every year in Jutai Town, and to take it away, you have to go through five trials and guess the most difficult lantern riddles.

Qin Lanzhi was not really interested. Before he met Xie Yulan, he had no interest in most things in the world. He was only concentrating on kung fu, either practicing in retreat or making money.

He wore half a mask that day, with sharp thin lips exposed under the mask, orchids were painted on the left side of the mask, and thin branches and leaves fell from the corners of his eyes, looking cold and restrained.

After a short stroll, Hua San and Xiao Yue'er disappeared into the crowd. It was rare for the two girls to relax so much. Qin Lanzhi didn't stop them, and went shopping alone.

He watched several lantern riddles, which were too simple for him, so he felt even more bored.

At this moment, a person bumped into him behind him, holding a rabbit lantern, and also wearing a half mask, with a sun bird painted on the mask, looking very lively.

The other party was not tall, and was dressed in a thin green shirt with a large bamboo forest embroidered under the hem. He was as clear and clear as bamboo. When he smiled, the corners of his mouth curled up in a pleasant arc, which was very contagious.

"I'm sorry!" He apologized again and again, and then accidentally stepped on Qin Lan's foot, and said awkwardly, "There are too many people..."

Qin Lanzhi gave him a hand and felt that the man was too thin. His eyes fell on the jade pendant on the other's waist, and he saw a clear word "Thank you", and he understood it instantly.

This is the young master of the Xie family who was wiped out, what's his name?

Qin Lan raised his eyes, and quickly found the hidden guard in charge of monitoring Xie Yulan in the crowd.

Seeing that Xie Yulan ran straight into the leader, the hidden guards couldn't figure out whether it was on purpose or not. Someone touched the dagger in the back of his waist, intending to step forward to stop him if something went wrong.

Only Qin Lanzhi understood that Xie Yulan was not vigilant at all, she was like a cub mixed with a pack of wolves, so innocent, she didn't even recognize that the person in front of her was the big devil he had always wanted to see.

Qin Lanzhi withdrew his hand and turned to leave. He didn't plan to have much entanglement with this person.

But at this moment, fireworks bloomed in the distance, illuminating most of the sky, and the crowd suddenly became excited, pushing each other towards the opposite direction of the fireworks. Xie Yulan was pushed by the crowd and almost stuck to Qin Lanzhi's back.

He struggled to lift the lantern, being careful not to ignite the corner of the man's clothes, and whispered: "Hold, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

Qin Lanzhi squinted at him, and through the eye slits on the mask, he could see the beautiful amber eyes of the other party.

Fireworks bloomed in his eyes, reflecting blurred colors, and the sparkling ones looked so harmless.

Qin Lanzhi was puzzled for the first time: Xie's family is also a family in the south, how could they raise such an ignorant idiot?

Qin Lanzhi was also squeezed into the crowd, and Xie Yulan bumped into his back repeatedly, which annoyed him immensely.

He could leave easily, or push the person behind him away, but whenever he turned around and saw the apologetic expression on the other party's face, holding the lantern carefully, the rabbit lantern stared at him blankly, just like the young man in front of him. exactly the same.Thinking of the other party's life experience, he frowned, and finally clicked his tongue, and reached out to hold the other party.

Xie Yulan: "???"

Qin Lanzhi pulled the man to his side and walked side by side with him, his tall body shielding him from the crowd.

"There are few people at the other end of the bridge." Qin Lan said calmly, "I'll take you there."

"...Thank you." Xie Yulan was a little surprised, her eyes under the mask were wide open.

Qin Lan looked away expressionlessly, only felt that the touch in the palm of his hand was soft and delicate, and a little cold, not at all like a man's hand.

After crossing the bridge, there were indeed fewer people.

Some people put lights under the bridge, and others hang wishing wooden signs under the trees.

The moonlight is bright, the clouds are scattered, and the clouds and mist are lingering after the fireworks. The fireworks in the world are so real and warm.

Xie Yulan stared blankly for a while, thinking that she no longer had family members, and no longer had this warmth, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red.

He lowered his head and quickly wiped away his tears, as if he felt ashamed, and whispered in a low voice, "Thank you."

He fumbled here and there, took out a handful of orange candies from his pocket, and stuffed them into the man's generous palm: "I don't have any good things with me, this is for you, it's delicious."

Qin Lanzhi didn't like sour things, but she nodded and accepted it without saying anything.

He turned to leave, but he caught sight of the man standing by the bridge in a daze from the corner of his eye, paused for a moment, then turned around and said, "You are not from the local area."

Xie Yulan didn't expect this cold-looking man to talk to her, so she nodded for a moment, "Yes."

"What are you here for? To see the lanterns?"

"..." Xie Yulan smiled wryly, "I'm here to find someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

"...an enemy." Xie Yulan lowered her head and stroked the lantern in her hand, with vague emotions in her eyes, "but I don't know whether he is my enemy or not."

Qin Lanzhi didn't expect him to say this, and he was really curious at this moment, he turned around and walked back: "You don't even know who your enemy is?"

"...Isn't it stupid?" Xie Yulan smiled wryly, her nose sore, "I don't even know who to seek revenge. They all told me that the murderer must be that person, but I stayed here for half a year... I Never saw him harm anyone."

Not only have I never seen it, but even though the people in Jutai Town are afraid of Wanhe Palace, their lives have never been affected in any way.

The people are happy and harmonious, because Wanhe Palace sits in town, other small sects, including bandits, dare not come here to make trouble, but it seems very quiet and peaceful.

He asked many people about the big devil, but apart from rumors, no one could produce the slightest evidence.

It's nothing more than word of mouth "I heard...".

This made him shake even more.

If he could meet the other side, if he could question the other side face to face...

Qin Lanzhi quietly looked at the dazed man, tapped his fingers on the bridge, and suddenly said, "What if the murderer is really that person?"

"No matter what the price is, I will take revenge."

"What if not?"

"Just keep looking for the murderer." Xie Yulan looked at the moving heads in the distance, "Even if I look for a needle in a haystack, I will definitely find him."

"Why bother?" Qin Lanzhi said, "You are the only one left in your family, and your parents and elder brothers must hope that you will live a good life and not fall into hatred and pain. You must have other relatives, right? Why don't you go to them?"

"I……"

Xie Yulan paused suddenly, and suddenly turned her head to look at Qin Lanzhi. He strode back and said vigilantly, "How do you know that I am the only one left in my family?"

Qin Lanzhi leaned over slightly, with an intriguing curve at the corner of his mouth. He put one hand on his mask and stared straight at the man: "If I say, I can let you see him?"

Xie Yulan suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Qin Lanzhi ordered: "Stretch out your hand."

Xie Yulan subconsciously wanted to put her hands behind her back, but Qin Lanzhi grabbed her arms and forced him to open his hands.

He took off the mask with one hand, and put the mask with orchid pattern into the man's hand.

"Take this up the mountain." He whispered, "You will be able to see him."
