In the middle of the night, the wind calmed down, and the cold air did not fade. Nanzhu pushed the window open to let the wind blow in. Outside the window, there was a plum tree with a few sparse plum blossoms slanting on it.

The wind drizzled and hit the plum branches, blowing off a few petals.

Looking up, you can see the mountains in the distance, shrouded in deep clouds, and you can see sporadic fires moving slowly. It is a monk looking for someone with a torch. After the turmoil three days ago , Qilian Sword Sect had already let all irrelevant monks leave. They guarded the mountain all night, looking for traces of Li Wenzhao, but they didn't know that he was gone long ago.

There are also two remaining gods in Buzhou Mountain to help guard. If they go back now, they will undoubtedly die.

Sighing in the cold night, Nanzhu held onto the edge of the window, letting the rain wet his skin.

Li Wenzhao remained silent.

"What else do you want to say?" Nanzhu asked, "At the end, make it clear."

After a long while of silence, the room became silent again, only the sound of wind and rain remained in his ears, Li Wenzhao looked at him for a while, put down his hands, and said, "Nanzhu, do you still remember when I rescued you from Nine You Valley? The situation is the same as today.”

"Remember, that's why I don't want the same thing to happen again." Nanzhu took a deep breath to ease his emotions.

Back then, he hadn't ascended to the top, and Li Wenzhao didn't have the status he has now. Being young and frivolous, he caused a lot of trouble. Outside, he regarded the devil way as an evil obstacle, and threatened to eliminate evil for the people, but he was besieged by several demon sects and suppressed in the nine You Gu, if Li Wenzhao didn't save him with his life, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to leave his whole body behind.

Neither of them had very good spells at that time, but they were monks in the Foundation Establishment stage, and many of the demon cultivators were in the Nascent Soul Golden Core stage.

The two stumbled and ran, and the blood all over their bodies pieced together the escape route for them. In the end, Nan Zhu fell into a pool of blood because of exhaustion. Li Wenzhao hid him in a secluded place without the slightest hesitation. In the cave, he was alone to lure away all the pursuers.

Nanzhu often wondered how Li Wenzhao escaped back then, and every time he wanted to ask, he ended up on the edge of his lips. Until later, when Li Wenzhao was trapped by Qi Lian Jianzong, he took Li Wenzhao out of the pit. Pulled out of the mud, the two can be regarded as close friends.

"They are all people who came out of the pile of bones, when have they ever been afraid of this." Li Wenzhao said calmly, his eyes were as dark as a pool of stagnant water, the candlelight was reflected in them, shaking slightly, as if covering up that little emotion.

Nanzhu listened to him silently.

"Do you still remember the divination you made for me before?" Li Wenzhao looked at him with an indifferent expression, making it impossible to discern his emotions, "You said that Song Yan would kill me, and even if he survived, he would go crazy."

"Yes," Nan Zhu's eyes sank, "What do you want to say? You want to say that my hexagram is wrong? You want to say that my hexagram is also wrong, don't you?"

Li Wenzhao didn't speak, stood up, came to his side, flicked his fingers, the wind and rain near the window suddenly stopped, as if blocked by an invisible barrier.

"Li Wenzhao, have you really thought it through?" Nan Zhu had never seen him like this before, so he finally let go, "I know I can't stop you."

Li Wenzhao didn't seem to want to waste any more words, he didn't say anything, he put one hand on Nanzhu's shoulder, looked outside, the lantern next to the signboard of the tavern illuminated the rain, and printed a hazy orange red.

In the relative silence, Nanzhu continued: "Maybe it's God's will, even if you can escape Song Yan, you still can't escape Jianghuai."

Li Wenzhao kept looking in the direction of Mount Fuluo, without speaking.

"I told you about Xie Xiao before, it shouldn't be like this, you didn't listen to me," Nanzhu said, "If you behave like this, you will kill yourself sooner or later."

Hearing this, Li Wenzhao turned to look at him: "According to what you said, it's just fate."

"You have many calamities in your life, and you have persuaded everyone you can. You have your own judgment," Nanzhu sighed, raised his head, and asked him suddenly, "Did you already know that I was lying to you by telling me so much?" you?"

Li Wenzhao didn't speak, but nodded silently.

"That's right, you have dragon bones, so you can know his movements," Nan Zhu said, as if mocking himself, "I'm stupid, I'll help you lure away the people from Buzhou Mountain, but there is still Shen Yao on the mountain." Man, how sure are you that you won't disturb us?"

"Ten percent." Li Wenzhao said.

Nanzhu took off the jade pendant from his waist and put it on the table: "If you want to be a wronged soul, I won't stop you. This jade pendant is my personal possession. If you really have to, you can say that I am in your hands. Zhou Shan's people will definitely not make a move, even if Shen Yao wants to kill you again, he will not dare to act rashly because of Bu Zhou Shan's face."

Li Wenzhao took the jade pendant, and frowned slightly. The jade pendant was carved with bamboo branches, and there was a small "Nan" character at the bottom. Nanzhu said before that this was the last thought left to him by his mother. It has been carefully guarded for years.

He handed the jade pendant to Li Wenzhao, and at the same time told him that he believed in him and believed that he would come out alive.

Li Wenzhao held the jade pendant, the jade pendant was cold, and there was tenderness hidden in it.

"Shen Yao's people won't waste their energy looking for someone who doesn't matter, and Jianghuai is still some distance away from Qingluan, as long as he doesn't lean there, he'll be fine. You go now, it's not too late."

Li Wenzhao brushed the jade pendant with his fingertips: "Nanzhu, thank you."

"Don't talk nonsense to me, I don't like to hear it," Nan Zhu removed the barrier with a spell, "Save it for your good apprentice."

***

When Xie Xiao received the sound transmission, he was rummaging through the things on Li Wenzhao's bookshelf in Dingyun Pavilion. At this point, the disciples had already fallen asleep, so no one would notice.

After days of drizzle, the wet soles of shoes stepped into the house, leaving water marks. Xie Xiao used magic to eliminate the marks, and closed the windows and doors before carefully starting to look for things.

A stack of letterheads was placed on the shelf, pressed by a small jade stone. He put the jade stone on the table and picked up the letterhead to look at it. Li Wenzhao is a careful person. Letters are stacked in chronological order, the ones on top Yes, the closer the date is.

Some were not folded, they were rolled up and stored in porcelain, with ropes tied on them, which were dead knots and could only be cut open. Xie Xiao put these rolled up letters back, not going to move them.

Opening the first letter, the handwriting turned out to be Li Wenzhao’s. There were some things briefly written down in it, probably his experience in fighting against Xianmen over the years and his judgment on the current situation, one after another, all displayed on the paper superior.

The letter was supposed to be sent to someone else, but for some reason, Li Wenzhao didn't send it, and he didn't even have a subordinate with his name.

However, it can be seen from the letter that he was worried before Song Yan was not crazy, but considering his previous appearance, he didn't seem like a person who would take such things to heart. Opened up a new one.

The letter paper was blank, it should be encrypted, and only Li Wenzhao could crack it, no wonder it was so generously placed, it turned out that he had saved a hand long ago, Xie Xiao stuffed the letter back and started looking for something else.

However, the layout of Li Wenzhao's study is too simple, with a glance, there are only a few places where he can hide things, and he has searched for everything he should be looking for, but he still can't find anything important.

There's only one place I haven't seen yet.

He fixed his eyes on the pot of green plums.

In the end, he stopped for a while, and first listened to Jianghuai's sound transmission——

Senior brother, I fell to... Qingluan, Master respects him... You bring someone to come quickly... Shen Yao... Save... And... Be careful in everything.

The sound transmission was intermittent, and he couldn't tell a complete story. It is estimated that the sound transmission talisman used by the other party was broken. Xie Xiao listened to it several times but couldn't hear what Jiang Huai said. In the end, he could only guess by himself. .

"Could it be that we found Qingluan, and Li Wenzhao refused to capture him? It seems unlikely," Xie Xiao wondered, "What do you want to save? Save him? Let me save him?"

But isn't Li Wenzhao still there?Xie Xiao speculated for a long time but couldn't figure out what to do, the sound was mixed and chaotic, and he could understand only those few words, which couldn't form a sentence. He really couldn't figure out what Jiang Huai said.

Could it be that he was in danger at Mount Fuluo?Xie Xiao frowned, and thought for a while. He and Shen Yao hadn't been in touch for a while. Of course, Shen Yao would not tell him his plan. I heard that Qilian Sword Sect also went to Mount Fuluo. Could it be that he was hunting spirit beasts? It's just a cover, the real purpose is to draw the attention of others?

In this way, the general meaning of the sound transmission can be guessed.Xie Xiao put the jade on the letter paper again, and checked the surrounding items again before leaving with peace of mind.

The rain had stopped, and the wind poured into his sleeves, making his wrists a little cold. Xie Xiao rolled up his sleeves and returned to Peach Blossom Rock. Someone was waiting for him on the peak.

"Elder Ninth, it's so late, haven't you rested yet?" The man greeted him.

"Well, Master had something to explain to me earlier, I was afraid that the matter would not be handled properly, and Master would get angry later, so I went to check it again." Xie Xiao was vague and wanted to fool the past.

"Oh, that's how it is," the man stroked his beard thoughtfully, and said again, "I'm here this time to discuss something with you. You are usually close to the Lord, so I want to ask your opinion first. "

"It's cold outside, come in and tell me." Xie Xiao smiled and invited him into the room.

It was late at night, and both of them seemed a little uncomfortable. After all, the old man and Xie Xiao were not familiar with each other, and they hadn't spoken a few words. If he came here this time, he must have something important to ask.

"Please tell me." Xie Xiaowen said.

"Presumably, the Ninth Elders have heard about the Fuluoshan incident, right? Before leaving, the Lord also explained to the old man that there must be something wrong with the Fuluoshan incident, and let the old man investigate," the old man looked at him with a muddy expression. There was a faint light in his eyes, "The old man found out that all the spirit beasts in Fuluo Mountain escaped from the Valley of the Divine Beast, but the Valley of the Divine Beast has not been destroyed by external forces for thousands of years, so it is impossible for such a large-scale disaster to occur."

Xie Xiao smiled: "Then you mean——"

"Could Elder Ninth tell me, what did you do in the Valley of the Beasts that day?"
