The old Taoist priest stood at the entrance of the steps and watched them do not move.

Shu Sheng and Yin Xing didn't move either. Shu Sheng was careful, looked at the old Taoist priest, and saw that there was even a helpless look in his brows, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, those eyes kept glancing at Shu Sheng. .

After a few turns between Shu Sheng and Yin Xing, he simply stared at Shu Sheng without turning his eyes away.

Shu Sheng felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, so she shrank behind Yin Xing.

Yin Xing also felt that the old man was a bit strange, and secretly tightened his hand while holding Shu Sheng.

If there was a real fight, he might not be the old man's opponent.

Unexpectedly, the old man just watched Shu Sheng not moving. There was a small plate on top of the copper disc in his hand, which slowly turned on the big chassis, making a cracking sound.

After a long time, the old Taoist priest finally spoke: "You two, let's go."

After all, he turned around and wanted to go up the steps.

"Wait." Yin Xing stopped him, intuitively, he felt that the plate in the old man's hand was strange and there was something wrong.

But the old man seemed to have never heard of him, seeing that he was about to disappear, Yin Xing raised his eyebrows, let go of Shu Sheng and rushed towards the old Taoist priest.

Shu Sheng clenched his fists tightly and watched Yin Xing fight the old man. Yin Xing grew up in the military camp. He had never fought or fought in any battle, so he didn't have any fear.

On the other hand, the old man seemed to have no intention of fighting Yin Xing at all, and he was not at all disadvantaged when he made moves and retreated.

Yin Xing squinted his eyes, seeing that there was no chance of winning the attack on the old man, he glanced at the copper plate in the old man's hand——If he can't hit anyone, I'll grab something, right?

After thinking about it, Yin Xing made a sweeping move in the air, and while the old man retreated, he snatched the copper plate from his hand.

The old man seemed to be distracted, he was looking at Shu Sheng all the time, who expected that Yin Xing would succeed in one move.

After Yin Xing succeeded, he didn't bother with him much, and quickly retreated to Shu Sheng's side.

"No!" The old man's expression changed immediately when he realized that something was taken from his hand.

Yin Xing was thinking about how to get rid of this old Taoist leader, but when he came back and turned around, the small plate on the copper plate in his hand turned a little bit according to the inertia.

Before he realized it, he found that the scene in front of him had changed.

There is no secret room, no book pavilion, no old Taoist priest, and no Shu Sheng.

He stood alone on the side of the road, and at his feet was an old hen who ran out of someone's house, looking down at the grass on the ground for food.

Yin Xingzheng looked around wonderingly, and felt his heart skip a beat. There was a house opposite him, and the sign hanging on the house was Shu's house...

Isn't this the Shu's yard in Ya'er Village?

What about nerds?

Yin Xing was a little dazed and a little worried. He always felt uneasy when the bookworm was not by his side.

Just as he was thinking, he heard the door of a house in the distance creak open. Turning his head to look over, a man in red armor came out from the house, with a red tasseled cap on his head. Looking at the attire, he looked like a champion of martial arts. .

The man stood at the door and hesitated for a while, looked at the Shu family's yard for a long time, then sighed silently, walking like the Shu family.

Yin Xing narrowed his eyes, and he recognized the face under the hat—Jiang Han.

Why is he here?Besides, how can an inhumane person participate in the martial arts test?

Soon, Yin Xing discovered the problem. Jiang Han couldn't see him at all. Wearing a red tasseled cap, the heroic man walked past him without even glancing at him, not even from the corner of his eye. .

Yin Xing frowned, watching Jiang Han go to the Shu's house to knock on the door, and it was the stupid scholar who opened the door.

Yin Xing followed and walked in.

"A Sheng." Jiang Han showed off this outfit in front of Shu Sheng: "Does it look good?"

"It looks good." Shu Sheng smiled and narrowed his eyes, and nodded again and again: "Aren't uncle and aunt happy?"

"Of course I'm happy, my Jiang family has been honored since then, A Sheng, you deserve a lot of credit!"

Shu Sheng clasped his hands and smiled: "Your Jiang family has taken care of me for many years, it should be."

Yin Xing looked a little bewildered, this bookworm, with a little complacency in his smile, was so beautiful.

Jiang Han's annoying voice pulled him back in time: "A Sheng, I'm a little worried."

"worry about what?"

"If this matter is revealed, you and I are both guilty of deceiving the emperor and will be punished by the nine clans." Jiang Han looked distressed, and Yin Xing saw a trace of cruelty in his eyes.

"Study, run, this kid is uneasy and kind!" Yin Xing was alert, but Shu Sheng didn't know it. He still smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't say it."

"But I'm not worried."

"Huh?" Shu Sheng finally heard a trace of unusual clues from Jiang Han's changed tone. When he raised his eyes, he saw Jiang Han squinting, with determination and pity on his face, looking at Jiang Han without blinking. Own.

He didn't know when he was standing in front of him, invisible pressure squeezed in from all directions, Shu Sheng was so crowded that he couldn't breathe.

Shu Sheng's hand holding the teacup shook, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a "crash" and shattered: "What's wrong with you?"

Yin Xing's heart was beating wildly, and he stretched out his hand reflexively to protect Shu Sheng. He was already used to this action, but his outstretched hand passed through Shu Sheng without hindrance.

Yin Xing was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, Jiang Han had already grabbed Shu Sheng and threw him to the ground. Shu Sheng happened to fall on the shattered porcelain, and knocked his head on the door frame.

"Asheng, have I told you before? If you want to keep a secret forever, the only way is to kill the person who knows it." Jiang Han's voice was stealthily cold, but he performed it with a helpless expression and language Show it to Shu Sheng.

Shu Sheng's back was hurting and his head was hurting too. Before he could refute him, there was a more severe pain from his arm, which hurt his tendons and bones.

Yin Xing couldn't feel it, he only saw Jiang Han cruelly breaking the nerd's left arm, the nerd suddenly opened his eyes wide, his whole face was distorted, his body trembled, and a scream stuck in his throat Not coming.

Yin Xing's legs softened and he knelt on the ground, panting non-stop. This was a scene he had never imagined. He had always protected that nerd so well, how could he be hurt like this?

He wanted to close his eyes not to look, and even wanted to escape, but found that he couldn't do it.

He clearly knew in his heart that his nerd was standing right next to him, without injury or pain, without those heart-piercing and extremely sad cries.

But Yin Xing still trembled uncontrollably.

Jiang Han in front of him said sorry, while hurting the bookworm over and over again, the bookworm's expression was always frightened and dazed.

Perhaps in Shu Sheng's heart, he still couldn't understand why Jiang Han did this.

Yin Xing knelt on the ground, shaking into a ball, watching Shu Sheng's hands and feet were broken, stripped naked, and treated cruelly in front of him.

In the end, those dazed and unwilling eyes finally left nothing but despair.

Yin Xing looked at those eyes that gradually became lax, and tears rolled down from his eyes. He couldn't remember the last time he shed tears.

At this moment, the situation in front of him suddenly changed again, without the miserable struggle of the nerd, and without the hypocritical face of Jiang Han.

He was kneeling weakly in a room. There were two futons in the room, two cups of green tea on a low table, and an incense burner in the middle of the table, burning sandalwood.

He pressed his heart hard, still unable to recover from the fear just now, he raised his head in a daze, and saw a tall man standing by the window, dressed in white, clean and clean, with jet black long hair that was too long The waist, at a glance, looks like a fairy.

"Sir, the poor are late."

Someone said at the door, the man turned around and said with a smile: "Where is the Taoist, I came early."

That handsome face seemed familiar.

Yin Xing stared blankly at the man, and then at the old Taoist who walked in from the door, with white beard and white hair, it was the old Taoist he had seen in the bookstore.

By the way, Shuge!

Where is this again?

No one saw this panicked man. After the old Taoist and the man sat down, the old Taoist took out a copper plate from his wide sleeve and put it on the table. No change, everything has a destiny, if you really want to go against the sky and modify it without authorization, I'm afraid..."

The man still smiled softly: "What's the matter, I only hope that my son can survive the disaster, Fang Xun and I have nothing else to ask for."

"Don't think about it anymore? If you really pull him out of the original track, what will happen to him later, but you don't know?"

Hearing this, the man blinked his eyes and said playfully, "That's natural, my son is Fu Luxiang."

The old Taoist pondered for a long time, looked at him, shook his head helplessly, pushed the copper plate towards the man, and said, "Qing Li, you have made up your mind, let's start."

Then, Yin Xing felt that everything in front of him began to blur, everything was spinning rapidly, and in the blur, someone kept calling his name.

Yin Xing shook his head, but saw that he was kneeling on the ground, in the bookstore, and Shu Sheng kept calling him worriedly beside him, his voice was full of worry and panic.

"Bookworm..." Yin Xing murmured.

Shu Sheng was taken aback: "I'm here."

Immediately, Yin Xing hugged him into his arms, his chin hit his shoulder, and it hurt a little, but Shu Sheng was keenly aware that the man who was fearless and fearless all this time was actually trembling , shaking very badly.

"What's wrong?" Shu Sheng asked quickly.

When his shoulders got wet, Shu Sheng was stunned. Yin Xing hugged him tightly and refused to let go, but he still found it inconceivable that Yin Xing was crying?

Shu Sheng frowned tightly - what happened to him?

The old Taoist priest stood beside him, and he saw that the small plate on the copper plate was turned twice, and the time difference between the two times was exactly five years.

The old Taoist sighed helplessly, picked up the copper plate on the ground and said: "You two can do it for yourself."

Shu Sheng saw a sudden light at the end of the steps, and after the old man went up, it went dark again.

That's the secret door closed.

The place where the old Taoist priest appeared was not the same institution as the place where they came down.

Yin Xing came back to his senses, and thought fortunately, as long as the nerd is fine, there are no scars on his body, and there is no fear, as long as he is fine.

Shu Sheng glanced at him strangely, seeing that he didn't intend to say anything, shook his head, squatted on the ground, packed up the box containing the collection of false essays, and hugged him: "Let's go back."

Yin Xing was a little stunned: "Do you... still want to ask him?"

Shu Sheng shook his head with a sullen face and said, "If I ask him, he might not say...the time hasn't come yet."

Yin Xing hugged Shu Sheng in a daze, the bookworm was still by his side, so he didn't bother to care about those who asked or not.

The mechanism on the steps he came down from has been opened, and the light shone down from the hole, brightly, and he could still hear the occasional twittering of cranes from outside.

The two went up one after the other, and once they went up, the stone slab behind them closed automatically. The yard where the cranes were kept was high, and the wind was strong but not too severe.

Shu Sheng looked at Yin Xing who had recovered to normal beside him, curious: "What happened to you just now? Then the plate...."

When Yin Xing was asked by him, he remembered many things: "Bookworm, I saw Shu Qingli just now, it seems..."

The place where the old Taoist priest appeared was not the same institution as the place where they came down.

Yin Xing came back to his senses, and thought fortunately, as long as the nerd is fine, there are no scars on his body, and there is no fear, as long as he is fine.

Shu Sheng glanced at him strangely, seeing that he didn't intend to say anything, shook his head, squatted on the ground, packed up the box containing the collection of false essays, and hugged him: "Let's go back."

Yin Xing was a little stunned: "Do you... still want to ask him?"

Shu Sheng shook his head with a sullen face and said, "If I ask him, he might not say...the time hasn't come yet."

Yin Xing hugged Shu Sheng in a daze, the bookworm was still by his side, so he didn't bother to care about those who asked or not.

The mechanism on the steps he came down from has been opened, and the light shone down from the hole, brightly, and he could still hear the occasional twittering of cranes from outside.
