Xingyun Liushui

On the bank of the river, there are waves in the river,

Mountain forest encircle and suppress cave night.

"died."

There were two people standing on the bank of the river, one clothed in straw sandals with a sword around his waist, and the other in silk clothed with black boots and walking on crutches. The clothed man opened the mouth of the dead body, and there were needles in his throat and mouth, and an ice needle flower on the tip of his tongue.

"Boss, look, Qianbing Yuhua killed him."

The silk-clothed man pondered for a moment, then said, "Go to the Bian Rou at the temple gate and ask, who sold it, and to whom."

"Boss, you have already asked me before you came. The third-to-last shop on the stall just sold a handful of Thousand Bing Yuhua yesterday to a man named Hei San. We also checked this Hei San, one of the regular customers of the restaurant. , this person is very good at catching live dolls on the roof, but the news about his sale is very tasteless, and he has always kept a low profile, but I don’t know what happened today, so he took the initiative to go to the bridge to blow the sugar man, and left a little for Xiao Tang. It's just poor."

The restaurant owner frowned.

"Xiao Tang thought that this person might know something, so he led him to the teahouse. After hearing the rain, the person caught the doll and went up to the third floor. Xiao Tang had to guard the first floor. Unexpectedly, after this person went up, , abused the living puppets, and burned the little wooden man of 'Chu Xingyun' to death. Fortunately, Xiao Tang stopped him in time when he received the alarm and gave him a puppet show, but..."

The boss lowered his head, glanced at the puppet master's death, and asked after a long while, "Have you tested the traces? True Qi belongs to Yin and Yang? What is the method of martial arts?"

"Tested, no... no leftover qi, and... no traces of fighting, the other party left a left glove, which is the most common cloth glove, and it was newly bought, with blood splattered on it, what else? nor.

"So, your conclusion is that the other party came over..." The owner of the restaurant stomped his cane violently, "Just like that, stabbed this guy to death with Thousand Bing Yuhua?"

"Boss forgive me!"

"This puppet master has worked for the teahouse for 11 years and nine months. Every time he cleans up the guy who broke the rules, he never missed a single shot."

The commoner was terrified and was about to bow to apologize, but the owner of the restaurant waved his hand: "Forget it, let's check it out."

"Boss, this person came to our teahouse and burned the live doll of 'Chu Xingyun'. Could this person have something to do with Chu Xiake..."

The man in silk interrupted him: "Have you checked Chu Xingyun?"

"Uh, boss, this man is very famous, I have heard a little about him, he lived in the Song Mansion since he was a child, made his debut at the age of 16, became famous at a young age, and there are some romantic gossip about him..."

The owner of the restaurant looked at the surging river: "Have you ever heard about his affairs?"

"Absolutely not, boss, you said that these rumors are never reliable!"

"Sometimes you need to work around." Silk Yi said humanely, "Chu Xingyun entered the Song Mansion at the age of 13. He is young and talented. Some romantic affairs are also normal. There are gossip that he and the first beauty of the martial arts were dating in the Valley of Love. Affection."

"Zhao... Zhao Linting? The head of the Zhao family?"

"He also has a friend named Zhanlian."

"Isn't this the royal guard?"

"Some time ago, he even faced off with the Xuemo group."

"Gu family?!"

The owner of the restaurant smiled: "There are only a few big families in the bureau. How many of them do you count? In his year, someone found out his background. This person came out of Nanban Nightless City. of."

The commoner was surprised when he heard the word "Bright City", "Boss, over ten years ago, everyone suddenly went south to the city, could it be..."

The owner of the restaurant interrupted him: "The misfortune comes from the mouth. This is not the only thing. After this person's background was picked up, there were a lot of discussions in the public, and there was a rumor that he had a little... relationship with the second young master of the Qi family.

"Boss, I heard that the Qi family got promoted for no reason a while ago."

The man in silk walked along the shore with a cane: "There are no inexplicable good things in the world. The things in the bureau attract people to spy. This Qi family is the eyes of the emperor, working for the sky."

"...This!" The commoner was speechless for a while.

"Now that you know this, let's look at Chu Xingyun again. People like him are people in the whirlpool." The silk-clothed man stretched out his cane and pointed to the river, "We watched from the shore and found the surging waves interesting. But if you really want to go into the river, every wave may be fatal. You should check what should be checked, and if you find something that should not be checked, stop in time, don't forget, the first iron rule of the teahouse."

"In a corner of peace, watch the fire from the other side."

The man in silk smiled and left with a flick of his sleeves.

The commoner swept the corpse with grass, carried the corpse into the water, and sneaked into the water without a trace.

Continuous mountains are reflected in the water, and in the continuous mountains, there is a Xie Liushui and a small cloud walking.

"Mr. Liushui, I'm tired."

"Hold on a little longer, okay? We'll be there soon!"

Xie Liushui coaxed him warmly, and sighed softly, now I know what it means to be pitiful to the parents of the world, who have worked hard all day and still have to coax the children, but they can't coax them well.

Xiao Xingyun, who couldn't be coaxed well, yelled and kept on playing tricks: "I'm so tired! I can't even walk a step! I want to carry my back!"

After Xiao Xingyun finished speaking, he was about to sit on the ground, Xie Liushui quickly grabbed him, this little guy was dressed in white, and when he sat in the mountains, he was covered in mud marks, and he would never expect Xiao Xingyun to wash his clothes when he returned. This drudgery must fall upon him again.

"I want to carry back! I want to carry back!"

Xiao Xingyun made a lot of noise, Xie Liushui felt how helpless Chu Xiake was to him when he played a scoundrel this time, he couldn't tell the pain at this moment, his stomach was full of yellow lotus, he looked up at the sky and sighed, finally he had to squat down and said: "Back Carry back, carry you on the back! Satisfied!"

Xiao Xingyun was very happy that he succeeded in playing tricks, he rushed forward and hugged his neck.

Xie Liushui walked forward step by step with Xiao Xingyun on his back. As a soul, his skin was cold and dark, like a living snowman.At this time, Xiao Xingyun was sticking to his back, like carrying a small stove, it was so warm that his whole body was about to melt.

Xie Xueren walked through the mountains and forests with untold hardships, while Xiao Xingyun hummed a little song out of tune on his back leisurely.Xie Liushui made some calculations and planned to take him back to Qinglin Residence directly. Xiao Xingyun has been imprisoned in the underground cave of the Dongshan stronghold all year round. If he returns there, he may get sick from the old place, and the large corpse pit there is really frightening. , a day less is a day.

The mountain wind was faint and the mangosteen was lush, suddenly, three bamboo leaves shot towards the ground like flying knives, Xie Liushui turned his body slightly, and dodged it.

Someone here!

Suddenly, there was a cry in the forest, and the torches were all lit up, and dozens of people came out of the bamboo forest, raising their knives and swords, and rushed to kill them.

Xie Liushui turned around and ran away. People kept coming out of the dark bamboo forest, chasing and beating him fiercely. Xie Liushui jumped onto a banyan tree with Xiao Xingyun on his back, but he saw that there was still fire in front of him. Dozens of people came from the small path down the mountain. meander up.

Xie Liushui frowned, and in an instant, there seemed to be a strange movement on the top. He raised his breath and jumped lightly, quickly shuttled among the branches and leaves with Xiao Xingyun on his back, and finally stood on the top.

There was a loud "crash", and a large net fell down, covering the bushes behind Xie Liushui.

Xie Liushui glanced at it, it was a gold wire iron buckle.

As long as it is caught by the net, the gold wire and iron coil buckle will continue to tighten, locking the flesh and blood of the prey.

The other party is very powerful, and may have prepared a lot of strange equipment. At this time, countless torches are outflanking him. Xie Liushui watched from the branches. He might not be able to escape by running away, and he might have to fight.

"Xiao Xingyun, you stay here first..."

Xiao Xingyun on his back was silent.

Xie Liushui turned his head to see that the little guy was asleep.

"Wake up, hey, Xiao Xingyun, open your eyes, hold this branch, stay here and wait for me."

Xiao Xingyun's eyes were sleepy, he barely raised his eyelashes, responded vaguely, and wanted to close his eyes again.

Xie Liushui squeezed his shoulders and shook him to wake him up: "You can't sleep, go home and sleep on the bed later, you hold this sword, as long as there is anything approaching you except me, they will all be cut off, you understand?"

"Mr. Liushui, I'm so tired..." Xiao Xingyun lay exhausted on Xie Liushui's back, and took the sword with great difficulty.

"Be patient, dear." Xie Liushui touched Xiaoyun's head, and pulled the Throat-Sealing Sword out of its sheath, "I took out the sword for you, come on, you grab the sword with one hand and the scabbard with the other. Anyone who climbs the tree will be beaten down, remember?"

Xiao Xingyun drooped his eyelids and nodded.

A large group of ambushing people surrounded him. Although Xie Liushui was worried about Xiao Xingyun, he couldn't take him to fight, so he had to put him on a tree.Xie Xiaohun took out a handful of apricot blossoms from the bag, squeezed them in his hand, broke off a tree trunk and a branch, and floated down.

The enemy is clear and the enemy is dark, Xie Liushui took the branches and knocked them one by one, like whack-a-mole, knocking them down one by one. I can't afford it.

These people's martial arts are not high, they lie on the ground and mourn, Xie Liushui is afraid of a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, so he only dares to move around the tree, not too far away from Xiaoxingyun.

Suddenly, an arrow shot through the air and hit Xiao Xingyundai's branch accurately.

That arrow was on fire.

Where Xiao Xingyun was, it instantly burned.

Xie Liushui immediately threw away the branches and trunks and rushed back. At the same time, five arrows were shot and landed under the tree, with strings of charms attached to the arrow feathers.

As if a film had been stretched around the tree, Xie Xiaohun said he was going up the tree to save people, but he couldn't even take a step closer.

"Dang--"

The Throat Sealing Sword and scabbard fell from the tree and hit the ground.

The next moment, Xie Liushui saw Xiao Xingyun tilted his body and fell from the tree...

He immediately stretched out his hand to catch it, and he was about to catch it in his arms. Suddenly, his eyes flickered, and he felt a force from his shoulder, as if there was a hand, pressing him down hard.

In front of my eyes, the white shadow flipped——

Someone pressed his shoulders to use his strength to get up, and he flew into the air for a moment, only to hear shouts from behind, three or five people were kicked to the ground, and seven or eight of them fell down, screaming in pain.

The white shadow landed firmly on the ground, and glanced at Xie Liushui: "Why are you standing here with your hand outstretched?"

Xie Liushui retracted his hand resentfully.

Suddenly, he suddenly realized a problem...

"Chu...Chu knight!"

Xie Liushui was overjoyed and excited, and couldn't help but slam into Chu Xingyun's arms.

Chu Xingyun was speechless and helpless, and pulled the Xie Goupi plaster lying on his chest:

"Don't stick to me."

Xie Liushui drilled his head and rubbed hard into Chu Xingyun's arms:

"Just stick to you!"
