Madame Demon has lost her memory

The moonlight is bright and clear, sprinkled in the bamboo forest in the courtyard, as if a cold spring has poured over.The bamboo forest is reflected in the "cold spring", with its branches stretched and swaying with the wind, like dry and terrifying hands reaching out to the two people standing silently in the courtyard.

The wind picked up the ends of Li Muzhi's hair, and put it down gently. She changed into short clothes for the convenience of movement, and the cuffs were tied up casually, showing a thin wrist bone. Flipping her fingertips, she revealed a hidden weapon with a cold light .

Qin Lanzhi on the roof frowned, and before he could make a move, Xie Yulan had cleverly avoided it.His lightness kung fu was so good that he walked around the woman from one end of the woman to the other like the wind under his feet, but the mahogany sword in his hand was still on the woman's back, and he said with a solemn expression: "Are you going to catch her with your arms tied?"

Li Muzhi laughed angrily: "Mr. Xie, what trick is this playing?"

Xie Yulan said seriously, "Call me Mr. Tie."

Li Muzhi was too lazy to talk to him, and wanted to distance himself from his feet, but Xie Yulan's wooden sword wrapped around his hair.She dodged forward, her hair pulled her scalp, the pain caused her to grin her teeth, and said angrily, "Are you childish?!"

How could anyone fight like this? !

"If you are allowed to escape, it will be difficult to catch you." Xie Yulan said clearly, "I have seen many things like you. You are dressed in human skin and pretend to be a dog, but you are doing evil in private. The front One of them is already dead, yet you are still unwilling to stop, wanting to kill the other in such a short period of time..."

Xie Yulan sighed: "Have you ever heard an old saying that people die for money and birds die for food?"

Li Muzhi: "..." This is such a mess!

Li Muzhi drew out the dagger and cut off her hair, a section of braid fell on the ground, she turned her head, her black hair was flying wildly, she was really neither human nor ghost.

"Who are you scolding?" Li Muzhi gritted his teeth, "Outsiders say that Mr. Xie likes to pretend to be a good person, as expected. I don't even think about why your family was..."

With a sound of "whoosh", before Li Muzhi could see who came, his whole body was pierced through the shoulder, dragged backwards and flew a few meters away, crashed into the bamboo forest with a bang, and disturbed the "cold spring" in the pool. ".

The moonlight was slowly covered by clouds, and the "cold spring" in the bamboo forest disappeared without a trace.

Only then did Li Muzhi feel the pain, he stretched out his hand to cover his bleeding shoulder, and raised his eyes to stare at the person coming.

Qin Lanzhi's outer robe casually draped over his body fell to the ground. He stood behind Xie Yulan, like an indestructible city wall, and like a hidden shadow behind Xie Yulan. The stone flowers and grass covered Li Muzhi who was lying on the ground, as if he had slapped him several times.

Li Muzhi's face turned green and pale for a while, and it was only at this time that she realized that Qin Lanzhi had hidden his strength before—or, in other words, he didn't bother to show his strength at all.She thought that if she practiced for a few more years, she would be able to surpass this monster that everyone feared, but now she realized that it was a fool's dream.

Li Muzhi's fearless temperament finally felt a trace of panic and despair, fog welled up in his eyes, and she suffocated him again.

"Master Qin." Li Muzhi said in a hoarse voice, "Since when did Wanhe Palace become the lackey of the leader of the martial arts? You also want to take care of other people's affairs?"

Qin Lanzhi ignored her, just grabbed Xie Yulan, withdrew that violent aura in a second, as if he wanted to kill someone, and said softly, "Go back, I'll take care of it here."

Xie Yulan: "You are a mortal, how do you solve it?"

He looked at the injured Li Muzhi again, and said, "Although you have some abilities, you are a mortal after all, you stand back..."

He opened his arms to protect people behind him.Qin Lanzhi looked at his daughter-in-law's protective posture, and couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, then turned his head to look at the dark room next to him.

Du Yijie moved a small stool and sat behind the door, watching with relish through the crack of the door.He held a medicine jar in one hand, yellow, white, and red were mixed together in the jar, and he was making an antidote, and said in his mouth: "Ma'am, you don't use dirty words when you swear, tsk, what a loss."

He looked at Li Muzhi's face again, and smiled: "Stupid woman, she didn't know how much she weighed, so she wanted to provoke Wanhe Palace... I dare not do it in daydream."

As he was talking, he saw his leader squinting at him, he was startled, he hurriedly lowered his head to do things, and speeded up.

He took out a small bamboo basket from his back, and picked out a few chubby caterpillars from it. He didn't know what they were, but they looked disgusting. He squeezed out the liquid with his palm and dripped it into the medicine jar. Li, add water and mix evenly, knead into dark and unpleasant pills.

When you're done, Du Yijie arrives in front of the bed lightly, lifts the hanging young master up, forcefully pours him the pills, and slaps him on the back again, the ashen-faced man coughs instantly When he got up, his chest heaved violently a few times, as if it was a flash of light, and then he became weak again in a blink of an eye.

Du Yijie felt the pulse of the other party, with a satisfied expression on his face: Well, it's all right.

He casually threw the other person back on the bed without covering him with a quilt, and Da Lala opened the door and walked out.

It was only then that Li Muzhi realized that there was someone in the room, and as soon as he stood up covering his shoulders, Du Yijie came out and clapped his hands: "Don't worry, big girl, your brother is fine."

Li Muzhi's face was gloomy, as if a storm was about to come.

Du Yijie just ignored her, if everyone can scare people by showing a coffin face, then they should stop messing around and go out together to change their faces.

Du Yijie mobilized his internal energy and raised his voice, "Come here—it's water—!"

There was a commotion outside the courtyard, and the people from Jiang Leize's side also came very quickly, as if they had expected it, before Li Muzhi left, they were surrounded by groups.

When the elders of the Huaishan Gate and their subordinates stumbled over, Li Muzhi had already been escorted to the place where Jiang Leize lived.Everyone whispered along the way, and no one knew who released the news that both the head of the sect and the eldest young master were poisoned and assassinated by Li Muzhi, and the leader already had evidence.

The Huaishan Gate Elder's face was pale, as if he had aged several years in an instant. The middle-aged man behind him still refused to believe it, and said angrily, "What nonsense are they talking about? How is this possible?"

"How could the Huaishan Sect do such a thing that is inferior to a beast?"

"Master, you should say something!"

The elder dismissed the others without saying a word, and led his disciples to Jiang Leize's courtyard.

And all of this has nothing to do with Wanhe Palace.All the news, witnesses and material evidence found by Lao Liu and Du Yijie have been handed over to Jiang Leize, and the subsequent matters should be resolved by the martial arts leader.

"Mr. Tie" didn't do anything before he was carried back into the house.It was still dark, and the lights outside the courtyard were like daylight. The people who were awakened were panicked, and they faintly felt the crisis in the news that was passed around: After tonight, either nothing will happen, or there will be no Huaishan sect in the rivers and lakes. .

Xie Yulan was grabbed by Qin Lanzhi's wrist and pressed against the door, innocently said: "Mortal, it's wrong for you to do this."

Qin Lan wanted to teach him a lesson, but couldn't say anything, instead of being angry, he smiled: "Tell me, what should I do?"

"If that thing gets away, she will put on someone else's skin and harm people again." Xie Yulan sighed, "You shouldn't stop me."

Qin Lanzhi gritted his teeth secretly: "You can deal with her with a mahogany sword? Huh? You haven't recovered from your internal injuries. Do you know what will happen if you practice your skills casually?"

In mild cases, you may lie in bed for several months, or in severe cases, your meridians may be cut off, and you will be unable to recover.

Xie Yulan was obviously ignorant, and frowned, "What internal injury? Where did I get the internal injury?"

"Don't you think there's something wrong?" Qin Lan pressed one hand on his daughter-in-law's chest, pressing inch by inch from the top to the bottom. He had no other intentions. He pressed several big acupoints under his palm, "I don't think there is any pain. Stagnant breath? Here, and here, doesn't it hurt?"

Having said that, Xie Yulan really felt a little pain, it was fine and dense, like being pricked with a needle.

He was a little strange: "How do you know? This should be because I can't practice the law, and I'm a little crazy, just rest for a few days and it will be fine."

Qin Lanzhi pinched his chin, and the two looked at each other. Xie Yulan saw the repressed annoyance and worry in the man's eyes: "Before I say yes, you can't practice your skills at will, and you can't act without authorization, understand?"

"Why?"

"Although I am a mortal, I..." Qin Lanzhi has now learned to follow his wife's script, making up stories without blushing or heartbeat, "But I have a keen sense since I was a child, and I can see and hear others see Can't hear what you can't hear."

He tapped Xie Yulan's heart with one hand: "Otherwise, how would I know that your internal injury is still unhealed?"

Xie Yulan looked at Qin Lan for a while, and believed it. She frowned and said, "Can you directly see my internal injuries?"

"Yes." Qin Lanzhi said, "I also know where it hurts when you exercise."

Xie Yulan touched her chin, and muttered: "Then you are a pretty good seed..."

Qin Lanzhi pretended to be helpless: "I want to inherit the family business, so I have never been a teacher."

"That's it..." Xie Yulan nodded understandingly, "It's just that there is no fate, you can't force it."

He paused, then disagreed: "But even so, you let that thing go..."

"She can't run away." Qin Lanzhi continued to make up, "A barrier has already been set up around. Someone will take care of her."

"You don't understand." Xie Yulan shook her head, and said in the vicissitudes of life of someone who has experienced it, "This thing is very cunning, and ordinary enchantments can't stop her. She is good at disguising as someone familiar to everyone, and she can't tell the difference on weekdays, only her purpose When it is achieved, it will reveal its clues. But by then it is too late."

Qin Lanzhi heard something strange: "Pretend to be someone you know? Why do you know so well?"

"I have met." Xie Yulan looked at Qin Lanzhi, her eyes did not evade, as if she was talking about other people's affairs, "One year I traveled to a wealthy family whose surname was Xie. It is also predestined to say that it is the same as mine. Same last name."

Qin Lan's heart skipped a beat.

Xie Yulan pushed away Qin Lanzhi who had been blocking her all the time, opened the chair by the table and sat down, and poured herself a cup of herbal tea: "The family is very hospitable and warm, and the family is very harmonious, which is enviable. Their mistress , like... peony flowers, strong, passionate, elegant and dignified. She always cooks for her family herself. I like her white fungus soup the most. Refreshing."

Xie Yulan was talking, holding the teacup in a daze, as if recalling something, Qin Lanzhi sat aside, looking at him worriedly, but didn't dare to disturb him.

After a while, Xie Yulan came back to her senses, and said: "Their master is taciturn but sincere. There are two sons in the family, all of whom are capable of both civil and military affairs, and they are suave. Besides, there is a distant relative living in the guest courtyard. Jiang, is a young man about the same age as those two sons."

Qin Lanzhi's expression was gloomy, and Xie Yulan's profile was reflected in her black pupils. Her heart was pinched gently in the darkness, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Does the Xie family only have two sons?Has Xie Yulan removed herself?

He clenched his fists involuntarily, his nails dug into his flesh, but he pretended nothing had happened.

Xie Yulan didn't notice his reaction, and continued: "The first time I encountered that thing was at the Xie family. I don't know if I was lucky or not... Or should I say, it was the fate of the Xie family?"

Xie Yulan said slowly: "Sometimes, life is something that you can't force. If you force it, you will have to pay it back one day."

In Xie Yulan's story, the distant relative surnamed Jiang looks like a normal person during the day. He often goes riding, archery and playing chess with Mr. Xie's family, and drinks and chats with other peers in the city.But not long after the good times, he revealed his hideous face under the human skin.

"I was careless. I didn't find anything wrong with him. He hid it too well." Xie Yulan lowered her eyelashes and sighed softly. The sigh was like a knife stabbing Qin Lan's heart, and he couldn't help but push up He dropped his knee and hit the small table with a muffled thud.

Xie Yulan paused: "?"

Qin Lanzhi signaled that nothing happened, took a deep breath secretly: "And then?"

"I remember it was raining lightly that day." Xie Yulan said, "I went to the west of the city to get rid of evil spirits, and when I came back, the Xie family had already caught fire, and the neighbors were helping to put out the fire."

"The gate was blocked from the inside, and I couldn't get in. I broke in through the back door, and I saw corpses all over the floor, all of them were servants of the Xie family." Xie Yulan said, "They all had their throats cut with a sword, and they all died. Very neatly, the cook is still holding a new-month-old doll in her hand, which is her first child, and the child has been suffocated to death because it is under the weight of an adult's body."

Qin Lan subconsciously held his daughter-in-law's hand. It was the first time he had heard the details of the disaster in so many years.

Xie Yulan never mentioned it too much, and he was afraid of exposing his wife's scars, so he never asked too much.

But now, he finally knew these details, but found that he didn't want to know at all.He would rather Xie Yulan forget about it.
