A gentleman is not a group

Night fell quickly, and the scene of last night reappeared, and the thick fog once again shrouded the surrounding area in a gloomy and obscure manner. It was estimated that the time was almost up, Xie Jianmian pulled Zhou Chi to stand up.

"Let's go, let's go find the eye."

"Hey, be careful." A willow leaf stretched out from the side, and it was about to touch Xie Jianmian's ear. Zhou Chi hurriedly pulled Xie Jianmian over. Xie Jianmian smiled at him and turned into his arms.

Warm breath breathed in the ear, and Xie Jianmian's voice came in a low voice: "Thank you, brother fast."

The next moment his soft body left, Xie Jianmian walked straight forward, as if nothing had happened just now.

Zhou Chi was teased for no reason, and reminded dumbfoundedly: "Watch the road carefully."

"Understood." Xie Jianmian didn't turn his head, answering indifferently.

Zhou Chi shook his head with a smile, and could only continue to move forward, but just as he stepped on one leg, he felt as if he had stepped on something under his feet. He looked down and saw a piece of white exposed among the brown soil.

"What's wrong?" Xie Jianmian turned around and asked Zhou Chi not following up.

"There seems to be something here."

Zhou Chi squatted down on the spot, stretched out his hand to fiddle with the soil, and a white bone was revealed in front of his eyes, looking ghostly in the night.

"This is..." Xie Jianmian also squatted down, struggling to identify the bones buried in the soil, "Human hand bones?"

Zhou Zhining nodded, it seems that what the man said is true, how many people have been trapped to death in this formation.

Zhou Chi sighed, no matter what the reason for entering this formation, it is a matter of fate that they meet now, don't care about the things in life, and they should be quiet after death.

So Xie Jianmian saw Zhou Chi pull out the dagger at his waist and dig up the soil on the ground, just to accommodate this piece of dry bone, and the surrounding soil scattered, burying the desperate man who had tried to struggle.

Now in all of this, it is no longer clear who is pitiful and who is hateful.

After burying the hand bones, Zhou Chi patted the dust on his hands and clothes, stood up and said, "Let's go..."

Xie Jianmian nodded and walked forward.

Zhou Chi couldn't figure out the direction at all, so he had to follow Xie Jianmian and continue to move forward. He didn't feel panic, trust took root in his heart, completely broke the ground, without any hesitation.

But Xie Jianmian acted very resolutely, as if he could find the way out by relying on his senses.

Zhou Chi was curious and asked, "Amian, you haven't told me how to find the formation yet?"

Xie Jianmian stopped and waited for Zhou Chi to catch up, then looked at him and explained: "I said that there are ninety-nine 81 small formations in this formation, and more than that, in fact, the direction of each small formation is not fixed. Each tree will be arranged slightly differently.

But in fact, only the eyes of the formation are completely different from other small formations, and the remaining [-] formations can be arranged in the same direction.Therefore, as long as you find the only seven trees, it must be where the formation is. "

"So you are memorizing the direction of each small formation?"

"Yes." Xie Jianmian took Zhou Chi's hand to prevent him from getting separated from him in the dense fog, "If I remember correctly, we have already passed through 47 small formations, 21 of which were due to lack of direction. And those who have gone through repeatedly, the remaining 26 can be eliminated."

Zhou Chi was very surprised, and asked, "Why don't I think these trees are different, but you can remember them all?"

"Almost." Xie Jianmian nodded, "It shouldn't be wrong. When I was a child, I was bored in the villa, and when I had nothing to do, I would wander around. I had memorized everything in the villa, which is also considered in this respect. Pretty talented."

There was light in Zhou Chi's eyes, and he looked at Xie Jianmian without blinking for a moment, and while stroking his head, he praised: "Our Ah Mian is really amazing."

What's the matter with this boastful tone like a child.

Xie Jianmian didn't want to admit that he blushed because of such a sentence, so he took advantage of the night to cover it up, half angry and half hesitant, and said: "Fuck you..."

Zhou Chi raised the corners of his lips and held Xie Jianmian's hand, suddenly feeling better.

The two of them just groped forward in the dark. They didn't know how many ways they had to spare, let alone how long they repeated. After a long time, Xie Jianmian pulled Zhou Chi to stop in front of a weeping willow.

This weeping willow was no different from the ones he had seen before, but when Zhou Chi saw it, he had an inexplicable thought: This is the eye of the array.

The palm of Xie Jianmian's holding Zhou Chi was slightly moist, Zhou Chi felt that he was a little nervous, so he raised his hand and patted him on the back reassuringly.

Xie Jianmian nodded at him, and stepped into the small formation without hesitation.

Zhou Chi followed closely behind, just after walking past the weeping willow, a different feeling appeared immediately, the surrounding dense fog did not intrude into this world at all, maintaining the final clarity in the thick night.

In an instant, the surrounding area brightened up, moonlight and starlight flooded in together, dots flickered on the blue-black sky, and even the ethereal Milky Way could be seen.

This is what the night should look like, without the camouflage and killing intent, it is so transparent and flawless.

It seems that this pair of eyes is right.

Zhou Chi looked up, carefully looking for the direction of the Big Dipper, and turned around the bright light, and then he saw the direction of the seven weeping willows around him. They were indeed in line with the arrangement of the Big Dipper, and they were directing Where the north and the south are.

Xie Jianmian also said at this time: "Look, the Big Dipper finally lit up."

People who have been walking in the dark for too long, as long as their hearts are light, their eyes will be lit up one day.

Seeing that Zhou Chi was still in a daze, Xie Jianmian continued: "Don't delay, let's go, head north, and we will find the exit soon."

Zhou Chi nodded, and walked away side by side with Xie Jianmian.

With the direction, the road ahead will be much easier. The closer you get to the exit, the sparser the trees in the willow forest, and the thicker the fog. After walking for a while, there is already a faint light coming from above.

Zhou Zhi knew that Xingyue was about to reappear.

Finally, when they walked past the last weeping willow, the scene they saw in the eyes came back to their eyes, the galaxy is thousands of miles away, boundless and vast.

Although the mood of Yu Sheng after the catastrophe is very good, and the scene in front of him is also very suitable for appreciation, but the timing at this moment is not suitable.

There is a mountain outside the Yanliu forest. There are many houses on the top of the mountain. There are scattered torches between the houses. It looks like a camp here.

Zhou Chi: "Is this the Rin Gang?"

Xie Jianmian looked at him with the same understanding expression as him.

While they were talking, there were footsteps coming from ahead, Zhou Chi hurriedly pulled Xie Jianmian to hide behind a tall house, and looked out.

A group of patrolling bandits was passing by, except for the leader who was holding a torch in his hand, and the flames lit up the sky and the earth wherever he went, and the people behind all held long knives in their hands and walked forward in a uniform manner.

Zhou Chi breathed a sigh of relief, but turned around to see Xie Jianmian thoughtful.

"what happened?"

Xie Jianmian looked around, thought for a while and replied: "I originally thought that the Rin Gang was some kind of prestigious gang. Although I have never heard of the name, many mysterious gangs in the Jianghu are not very involved in the world, so I also think that the Rin Gang is a gang. So.

But looking at it now, this gang is just an ordinary den of bandits. If there is anything different from other bandits, it probably has a lot of silver. You can see that the decorations on this house are all expensive, not ordinary Bandits can afford it.

But other than that, I don't see anything special about this Rin Gang.But they actually used the seven-star formation as a protective formation. As far as I know, there are very few people who know this formation, except for Liuyun Villa. How did they do it? "

Zhou Chi frowned and asked: "Has the owner told anyone about this formation?"

"I don't know about this, but this formation is not a top secret, so it's not surprising that someone knows about it." Xie Jianmian thought deeply, "I'm curious, if my father really told someone, then I shouldn't have never heard of Rin help."

"It's hard to say, let's observe and observe first."

Zhou Chi dragged Xie Jianmian and walked towards the front of the house, passed by the window and saw the candlelight flickering inside, Zhou Chi dragged Xie Jianmian to squat down, ready to sneak past, but at this time there was the sound of conversation in the room.

Zhou Chi's expression froze, and he winked at Xie Jianmian, and the two of them squatted on the ground and began to listen to the corner.

The conversation in the room was not loud, and there was a closed window, so the sound coming out was also intermittent, and it was not very clear.

Only one of them said: "I heard that Chai Xin has returned to Jinzhou recently...it's very troublesome."

Another person said: "You can't say that... Chai Xin... more than ten years ago... the letter is still there...he can't deny it..."

"If you can use him to gain some benefits..."

"It's not necessarily...the imperial envoy...may not be willing to listen."

In the end, the man said fiercely: "What are you afraid of, the big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken... He has more worries than us..."

Listening to this tone, these bandits know Chai Xin?What was the entanglement between Chai Xin and the Rin Gang more than ten years ago?

Zhou Chi wanted to hear something more, but footsteps came from the room. It seemed that one of them was about to push the door to leave. It was too late to dodge at this moment, so Zhou Chi had to pull Xie Jianmian to push open the door of the next room and hide in.

Fortunately, there was no one in this room. Although the lantern outside the door could illuminate the room a lot, most of it was still pitch black. Zhou Chi could only walk in while touching forward with his hands. Xie Jianmian followed Zhou Chi's The footsteps never fall.

Suddenly, Zhou Chi accidentally touched some mechanism, and the innermost wall turned over, revealing a dark passage. Zhou Chi couldn't stand still, and staggered towards the unknown passage.

"Zhou Chi!"

Xie Jianmian panicked and reached out to pull him, but unexpectedly he was also led into that passage.

When the two stood still, they both saw doubts in each other's eyes. They hadn't decided whether to venture in or go out to discuss. The wall behind the door suddenly closed again, blocking their way back, as if it had never been opened. .

In front of him is a dark secret room, behind him is a closed wall.
