When the protagonists and villains become bamboo horses

Xie Shi fell silent.

He didn't know about Yan Yu's previous life, and only knew from Xie Zhiwei's few words that Yan Yu's previous life was a notorious demon king.As for what crimes this Demon Lord committed, he didn't know.

However, compared with the distant past life, Xie Shi is more concerned about this life.

In this life, Yan Yu is his dear brother Xiu Ling, the two were childhood sweethearts when they were young, and they depended on each other when they grew up.After leaving the island, they are each other's only family.

He promised to protect Brother Xiu Ling, so he must keep his word and not change because of anything.

Therefore, facing Xie Zhiwei who was sentimental about the past, Xie Zhi didn't echo or refute, but just stood beside him, silent without saying a word.

Their views on Yan Yu are completely opposite, and they cannot understand each other, let alone change.

At such times, the best way to communicate is silence.

The firelight from the sky shone in through the window, forming a red light shadow, which fell on the faces of the book and Xie Zhiwei.

Inside the Zangshu Pavilion, the dusty bookshelves are arranged in an orderly manner, standing quietly.

After a while, Xie Zhiwei recovered from his own memories, the sadness and loneliness on his face slowly receded like a tide, his expression returned to his usual frosty expression, his eyes were indifferent and clean.

He blinked his eyelashes lightly, brushed off the dust from the book in his hand expressionlessly, and then put it into the storage space.

Seeing his movements, Xie Shi asked, "Is this book an important clue?"

"No," Xie Zhiwei shook his head, and added, "It's just a reminder of the past life."

Next, Xie Shi and Xie Zhiwei explained the situation of rummaging through the library, "I went through the bookshelves on the first and second floors and the piles of sundries around. Books, nothing of particular value."

Xie Zhiwei nodded and said, "Then let's go to the next location."

After the two had a brief discussion, they were about to leave from the window on the second floor.

Just hearing a "whoosh", a blue water arrow flew from a distance, pierced firmly into the edge of the window, and then turned into an invisible ball of water as if losing the maintenance of spiritual power, flowing along the wall The face flowed down.

This conspiracy came suddenly, and both of them looked terrified.

Xie Zhiwei quickly made a tactic, and the thumb of his right hand passed over the tips of the rest of his fingers, forming a transparent shield of spiritual power around the two of them.

Standing in the protective cover, Xie Shi called out the saber and held it in his hand. He raised his eyes and looked at the place where the water arrow came, his eyes were sharp.

He will never be polite to those who want to hurt his life.

In the distance, facing the windows on the second floor of the Library Pavilion, there is a raised hill.

There were two people standing on the hill, one was wearing the costume of a disciple of Lingyun Sect and covered his face with a black cloth, the other was wearing a costume of a disciple of Yunyan Pavilion, his face was ordinary and not covered.

Xie Shi originally thought that those two people were in the same gang and came to kill him.

But who knows, before he could make a move, he saw that Yunyan Pavilion disciple strangled that Lingyun Sect disciple's neck with lightning speed.

Afterwards, the body of the person strangled fell limply, life and death unknown.

Is this infighting?Xie Shi's eyes were full of surprise.

That Yunyan Pavilion disciple stood on the top of the hill and glanced in the direction of the window on the second floor of Zangshu Pavilion from a distance, his black eyes were as cold as cold, and no emotion could be seen.

Immediately, he left in the opposite direction without looking back, and his figure gradually shrank into a black spot until he could no longer see it.

After he left, Xie Shi and Xie Zhiwei flew out of Zangshu Pavilion together and landed on the top of the hill to check the situation.

Xie Shi walked to the side of the Lingyun Sect disciple who was named Xiangxiang, squatted down, pulled off his black mask, put his index and middle fingers together, and put his index finger and middle finger together, and probed his carotid artery to confirm that he was dead.

"How?" Xie Zhiwei asked, "Is it an enemy or a friend?"

Xie Shi looked confused, "I know this Lingyun Sect disciple, he is also an inner sect disciple, but we have never met each other, I don't know why he plotted against me today. As for that Yunyan Pavilion disciple..."

He stared and thought carefully, realizing that he had never seen that face before.

"I spend most of my time in the Spiritual Rhyme Sect, and rarely contact people from other sects. I probably haven't seen him before." Xie Shi said.

Xie Zhiwei also came over and briefly checked the corpses on the ground.

"He was killed by a single blow." Xie Zhiwei stretched out his fingers and touched the still warm neck of the corpse. "The throat was shattered, and his mind and soul were scattered. That Yunyan Pavilion disciple was so fierce that he should not be underestimated."

Hearing this, Xie Shi's expression was solemn, and he cheered up.

Xie Zhiwei stood up, stood on the top of the sand dune, and looked at the trace left by the water arrow on the edge of the window on the second floor of Zangshu Pavilion.

He frowned slightly, and speculated uncertainly: "Perhaps, this Lingyun Sect disciple did not plot against us, and the one who shot the water arrow may be the Yunyan Pavilion disciple. This Lingyun Sect disciple bumped into him and wanted to stop him , let the water arrow miss, but died here because of inferior skills."

Xie Shi looked at the black cloth next to the corpse, and didn't quite agree with Xie Zhiwei's speculation.

In his opinion, compared to the disciple of Yunyan Pavilion who was showing his face upright, it is more likely that this masked fellow sect will attack them.

The two exchanged views with each other and decided to be more careful in the next trip.

After all, the failure of one assassination in the secret realm often means that there will be a second assassination.Now there is still a strange Yunyan Pavilion disciple whose relationship with friends and enemies is unknown, so he needs to be more cautious in his actions.

However, even though Xie Shi and Xie Zhiwei deliberately concealed their whereabouts and raised their vigilance to the surrounding things, they still ran into an ambush when heading to the second destination.

On the barren and cracked plain, a Lingyun Sect disciple with a friendly smile on his face slowly approached the two of them, saying something in his mouth, which meant that he was in trouble and wanted to borrow some healing from his fellow disciples. Elixir for wounds.

There are plenty of pills in Xie Shi's storage ring.

Although this fellow of the Lingyun Sect was not familiar with him, and they were no more than acquaintances with each other, seeing his sincerity and good attitude, Xie Shi immediately expressed his willingness to give him some pills.

Everyone is from the same family, and it is reasonable to help each other when going out.

However, when this Spiritual Rhyme Sect disciple gradually approached, and was only two or three steps away from Xie Shi, his expression suddenly changed, his kind smile was replaced by cold killing intent, and a ball of ice crystals condensed from the palms of his hands, fast and ruthless Attacked towards Xie Shi's chest.

Xie Shi was terrified, and quickly blocked with his sword.

Along the way, Xie Zhiwei never returned to the depths of Xie Shi's sea of ​​consciousness, and stayed by his side, so he immediately noticed the sneak attack of this Lingyun sect disciple, and pushed out his palm, pressing down on the opponent with a mighty force.

Under the double effect, the body of this Lingyun sect disciple flew out like a kite with a broken string, spitting out blood from his mouth and spraying out a short string.

He was still alive when he landed, Xie Shi flashed over, with his long sword across the opponent's neck, and asked with sharp eyes: "I ask myself that I have no grievances or enmity with senior brother, why did senior brother attack me today?"

The Lingyun Sect disciple sneered: "It's your fault for offending someone who shouldn't be offended."

Afterwards, he cut off his meridians and died directly in front of Xie Shi.

Looking at the corpse in front of him, and remembering the previous conspiracy, Xie Shi frowned, and a face appeared in his mind.

He has always regarded peace as the most important thing, never deliberately enmity with others, and he doesn't even have a single enemy in the sect.If he insisted on offending anyone, he would only remember that in the inner sect competition a few days ago, he defeated an opponent who improved his cultivation by taking medicine.

When the Zongmen handed out the grand competition prizes, the other party not only did not reflect on his cheating behavior of not emphasizing martial arts, but also stared at him with resentful eyes.

I heard that the opponent seems to be a distant relative of a certain inner sect elder, and the inner sect disciple has quite a "prestige".

After thinking about it for a while, Xie Shi felt that he was the most suspicious.

He turned around, wanting to chat with Xie Zhiwei about his guess.

But at this moment, Xie Zhiwei was standing in white clothes, standing in place, looking at a dead tree nearby vigilantly, his eyes were as cold as ice.

The dead wood was as tall and thin as bamboo, its leaves were gone, and its branches were bare, so it might not be able to hide people.

Xie Shi also became vigilant, stared carefully for a while, but didn't notice anything unusual, so he walked over and asked Xie Zhiwei: "Is there anything weird there?"

Xie Zhiwei withdrew his gaze, looked at Xie Shi thoughtfully, and lightly parted his thin lips: "That Yunyan Pavilion disciple came here just now, and he was standing on that tree."

"When?" Xie Shi asked quickly.

"From the moment the disciple of the Lingyun Sect appeared in front of you, he has come," Xie Zhiwei said in a deep voice, "then he has been standing there, silently watching that disciple attack you, and then he was attacked by me. The two fought back."

Xie Shi was shocked when he heard this.

The other party has been around for so long, but he didn't notice any abnormalities during the whole process, which shows that the other party's cultivation base may be much higher than his, perhaps at the same level as Xie Zhiwei.

Xie Zhiwei continued: "I thought he would launch an attack when our spirits were relaxed. I was ready to deal with it, but I didn't expect him to disappear quietly when he saw the disciple of the Lingyun Sect who was attacking was dead."

Xie Shi showed a pensive expression, and said: "From all indications, this Yunyan Pavilion disciple is not in the same group as the person who attacked us, and he even intends to protect us."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but have a relaxed tone, and gave his own conclusion: "I think he looks like a friend."

Xie Zhiwei also felt that the other party was not Xie Shi's enemy.But after thinking about it, he always felt that there was something strange about that mysterious Yunyan Pavilion disciple.

Yunyan Pavilion disciples are immortal cultivators anyway, and there should be rules and rhythms when they make moves, but when they first saw this mysterious "friend", the other party strangled the Lingyun Sect disciple who plotted against them by the throat as soon as he made a move, and then struck Must kill.

This kind of ruthless style of killing without leaving a way for the opponent is not so much a fairy cultivator, but more like a demonic cultivator.

Perhaps this Yunyan Pavilion disciple is not a Yunyan Pavilion disciple, but...

When it comes to Moxiu, Xie Zhiwei, who has a narrow range of friends, can only think of one person.

Someone he hated and considered an old enemy.

Yan Yu!

The ice and snow in Xie Zhiwei's eyes piled up again.

However, if the other party was Yan Yu, why didn't he just appear in front of Xie Shi?Xie Shi should be very happy to see him.

Xie Zhiwei recalled the scene where Xie Shi was secretly crying after returning from Demon Realm a few days ago, and caressed his palm.

Ah, by the way, he and Xie Shi were having conflicts, so he didn't dare to appear in front of Xie Shi directly.

The more Xie Zhiwei thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, and decided to interfere with Xie Shi's judgment.

He couldn't let Xie Shi think that Yan Yu was secretly protecting him, that would speed up their reconciliation.And his goal is to keep them apart.

So Xie Zhi coughed slightly, and reminded Xie Shi with a serious expression: "We can't draw conclusions so early. The other party may have a grudge against the group of people who plotted to attack us, so he took action against him. He and us may not be friends. It may be to catch leaks nearby. We still have to beware of him and act first if necessary."

Xie Shi nodded with a vague understanding.

The author has something to say:
