When night falls, this special ancestor worship begins.

The Huo family was brightly lit tonight. A total of 36 members of the Huo family and 78 servants gathered in front of the mourning hall at the mourning hall in the backyard. The whole process was serious and quiet.

Then Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo jointly offered incense, and lit three long-lived candles in front of the memorial tablet in the mourning hall.

"I, Huo Fengzheng, as the sixth generation head of the Huo family, beg my ancestors to bless my Huo family with good weather and abundant wealth tonight in front of the Huo family's ancestors!" The same is true.

"Okay, the ancestor worship ceremony is over, everyone can leave." Huo Fengzheng got up and said, those servants in the concubine's room also left one after another, Madam Huo turned to look at him, and hurriedly prepared to go back to the room.

"Master, please rest early tonight." Madam Huo said softly when she went out, closed the door and left, the sound of Madam Huo's footsteps gradually disappeared, leaving only the wind blowing leaves rustling.

Huo Fengzheng was the only one left in the mourning hall. Facing three flaming longevity candles and several ancestral tablets, he first took a look around, closed the wide open windows, and then lay down on the bamboo couch that had been arranged in advance. Pulled over the quilt and began to doze off.

Time in the mourning hall seemed to stand still because of this, and people's perception would become numb in this silence. At this moment, a strong wind rushed in, and the flames on the mourning altar trembled a few times as if they had spirituality, and then went out quickly. .

In this darkness, only Mr. Huo... still snoring.

Almost at the same time, a black shadow suddenly swayed out of the window, and the man walked up to Master Huo who was still sleeping soundly in a few strides, and stretched out a hand to the seemingly defenseless man lying on the couch.

A sword suddenly pierced through the air, and the cold light on the sword seemed to break out from the sword, very glaring.The man was a little surprised by this sudden move, and even paused for a moment.

So the two fought in the darkness, the weapons collided and ping-pong, and the other end was pretending to be dead... Uh, Mr. Huo, who was pretending to be asleep, showed vitality that was different from his age, and grunted from the couch Bounce up and quickly duck into a corner to avoid joining the fray.

When Luo Xingyun fought against this person, he felt that the other party was very strange. He obviously had a high level of concealment skills, so why does it seem that his martial arts are not weak?Not weak, why did you run that night?

Even though there were many doubts in his heart, Luo Xingyun's attacks became more and more ferocious, trying to suppress this weird guy.

And the people who fought against Luo Xingyun obviously noticed Luo Xingyun's intentions, and they fought back even more desperately.

The sounds of weapons colliding kept ringing in my ears, Mr. Huo heard that Luo Xingyun had the upper hand, and the intruder would surely die if this continued, he was relieved, so he secretly moved his position to the corner as much as possible Drill, reduce your sense of existence.

In the darkness, Luo Xingyun blocked the opponent's sword with his sword. Seeing that he finally found an opening, he was about to grab the dagger with his right hand and stab the opponent, but suddenly there was a soft sound from the west window, and all three people present saw it. Another person came in through the window.

Luo Xingyun was stunned for a moment, but the person who was fighting him fled away.

Why is there another one?The guy's helper?

This was almost a thought in the minds of Luo Xingyun and Master Huo, but the next moment this thought was broken, because the person who was fighting with Luo Xingyun actually dodged to attack the person who just came in!

Who was the first to come in? !

"Master Huo really has a lot of enemies." Luo Xingyun murmured, and then rushed into the battle circle where the two were fighting, so the three of them fought together without any sense of disobedience.

Mr. Huo was at a loss as he watched from the side, but he didn't dare to do anything, he could only use his ears to hear where the three of them were with his eyes wide open.

It didn't take a few hits for Luo Xingyun and the first person to feel that a hidden weapon was approaching, and the two of them dodged away, the hidden weapon nailed to the beam and made a dull sound.Luo Xingyun knew that the person was probably the fake Xianyun, so he raised the corner of his mouth to dodge hidden weapons one after another, and took the opportunity to get close and unceremoniously kick him back.

"Pfft! Cough cough!!" The kicked man who flew upside down hit a beam before stopping, clutching his kicked chest and coughing dryly.

Luo Xingyun sneered, turned his palms into claws and flew over. Fake Xianyun sensed that the danger was approaching and immediately threw out dozens of steel needles. The density was so creepy that others had to avoid the edge even if their martial arts were high.

A person like Luo Xingyun who has suffered from the steel needle naturally shrinks back in his first reaction, one jumps and spins in the air, then grabs the beam with one hand, and leaps up lightly, while the other climbs up the beam with a few steps up high.

Huo Feng was tilting his head to avoid a steel needle in the corner, then gritted his teeth and rolled to hide behind the bamboo couch, cursing in his heart that this turtle grandson is simply a big hedgehog, why put so many needles on his body for nothing!

Now everyone is afraid of the steel needle in the hands of the black-robed man, and for a while, no one made any movements, but just after the moment of silence, a strange aura rose quietly.

Why do you say it is weird, because under the watchful eyes of the four people, the west window was slowly opened, there was only a gust of wind outside, and the vines outside the window could be vaguely seen shaking gently.

Luo Xingyun frowned, he didn't feel anyone by the window.The other three present all had martial arts, and felt the same way.

And this silence didn't last long, Luo Xingyun and the others heard a sound of collision coming from the spirit card, and it became more and more intense.Everyone was taken aback, and looked at those 'alive and jumping' tablets with some doubts.

"Master Huo! Light the candles!" The first person who came in suddenly said.

Luo Xingyun and Huo Fengzheng were startled when they heard the voice, but the latter hurried to light the candle.

The mourning hall was lit up, and Luo Xingyun could see everyone clearly at once.

Standing in front of him was a tall and thin man with his face covered, the man in black robe was still leaning against the beam, Master Huo was near the memorial tablet, and another person was actually coming in from the main entrance.

"Who is here?!" The tall and thin man turned his scrutinizing eyes away from Luo Xingyun and shouted at the person at the door.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black hurriedly took the opportunity to escape, Luo Xingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his feet and chased after him.

The person who just came in was obviously a petty thief. The tall and thin man knocked him unconscious as soon as he raised his hand and threw him aside, and took out a wooden token from his waist: "Master Huo, this is Floating Lotus Bimu One, this time I came here to take a look after receiving your letterhead."

Huo Fengzheng's face changed slightly, and he cupped his hands respectfully, "It's true...but I've already made up my mind to let that young hero kill that man."

Mu Yi frowned when he heard that, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Master Huo, can you find out the details of this person?"

"No, I only know that this person has high martial arts skills, and he has some grievances with the black-robed man."

"Just now... I seem to have seen the badge of the son on that young hero."

"...What?" Master Huo was taken aback, "Impossible?!"

Mu Yidao: "Let's follow up quickly and take a look, I don't know who that young hero is."

However, Luo Xingyun has already captured the man in black, naturally he used the local trap to catch wild animals.Now the black-robed man received his slap and was hung up by a big net, with sharp bamboo spines on both sides, like a wild boar caught in a trap.

"Come on, why did Zhou Pei send you to kill me?" Luo Xingyun said every word, with a very flat expression.

The black-robed man gritted his teeth, seemingly stubborn, while Luo Xingyun loosened the rope he held in his hand by an inch, and the bamboo thorns on both sides immediately moved closer to the middle by two inches.

"You can choose to be silent, but I don't mind letting the bamboo thorns approach you little by little." Luo Xingyun raised his eyebrows and said, originally he didn't like to use such torture methods, but some people couldn't bear it This kind of torture, so he said, "Of course I can also give you a second way. I won't kill you, but you have to tell me the reason."

"...You are a variable, just like that Li Wanshu." After a long silence, the black-robed man said softly. Maybe he knew that he had no way out, but it was still possible to avoid the prime minister's pursuit by his own ability. "But you are the target of Master Zhou entrusted by the cult. I only know so much."

"..." Luo Xingyun frowned.

It's a cult again, what kind of grievances does the cult have with me, and it has to be specially entrusted to the prime minister?Could it be related to the double snake brand?

He glanced at the man in black, and said that he would not kill if he had agreed, but it was impossible to let him go for nothing.He wanted to take a stone or something to pull the rope and let this guy hang here to fend for himself, when he heard a sound of small friction coming from the grass not far away, and two figures rushed out from it.

"Master Huo, you came at a good time. I won't take this man's life, but I will leave it to you. I don't get rewarded for my meritorious service, so I don't care about the reward." Luo Xingyun said with a smile.

The man in black over there immediately gritted his teeth and said, "You said you wouldn't kill me!"

Luo Xingyun's smile subsided, his eyelids drooped slightly to block most of the brilliance in his eyes, and he said softly: "Am I going to kill you? I just handed you over to Mr. Huo."

"What's the difference between that and killing me?!" The black-robed man was still hysterical.

"Of course, you hurt me last time, it's impossible for me to let you go now, at most... I can accept that your blood won't get on my hands." Luo Xingyun said with a face The indifference on the face gradually disappeared, but a little smile appeared instead.

Although that smile made Mu Yi and the two watching by feel horrified.

Huo Fengzheng should have been ecstatic when he heard the news when he arrived, but now he was a little uncertain.

It's good not to get paid!But what excuse does he have to spy on people without getting paid?

Mu Yi at the side first slapped the black-robed man unconscious who was still chattering about swearing to death, then stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Young Xia Luo, I offended you just now, I am a distant relative of Master Huo, Mu Yi. "

"Hehe, I don't know each other if I don't fight, I'm going to Luo Xingyun."

"Let me deal with this person." Mu Yi smiled, but his eyes secretly glanced at the jade pendant hanging on Luo Xingyun's waist, a little hesitant.

The owner's token is very special, it is made of a rather rare high-grade cold jade, it is cool and refreshing in the hand, and the double fish pattern is carved on it.There are only three pieces in the world, one piece is handed over to the master of the village, and the other is in the hands of the owner himself, but this man...how can he have one piece?

"If you have nothing to do, I will take my leave first." Luo Xingyun saw that the matter was finished, so he had nothing to say, Na Muyi and Huo Fengzheng seemed to have something to discuss, and it was really inconvenient for him to be here.

"Hey! Shaoxia Luo, please stay!" Master Huo suddenly stopped him, and walked a few steps, "Young hero has no credit or hard work this time, but the young hero caught him. I don't want to take the young hero's place It's cheap, how about I send someone to send 800 taels of gold tomorrow?"

Luo Xingyun suddenly couldn't figure out what Huo Fengzheng meant, and there were merchants desperately feeding money to others?Although that reason sounded reasonable, he just felt... weird.

So he politely declined and said: "No need, Luo has deserved it, and I have something else to do. I have to leave tomorrow morning, so I won't bother Mr. Huo."

"Alright then." Huo Fengzheng's eyes were full of hesitation, but he could only say this, watching Luo Xingyun's back as he left gracefully.

Mu Yiyi was very obsessed with the token, but he couldn't startle the snake: "This man is very skilled in martial arts and has a very hostile attitude. We can't force him to keep him. We can only write a letter to ask the young master. I don't know if the young master is there. Zhuangzhong."

There was a reason for Luo Xingyun to leave in such a hurry. He sat on the bedside and touched the jade pendant that slipped out during the fight, and he knew something in his heart.

Huo Fengzheng must be familiar with this jade pendant, according to Li Wanshu, it is the token of Fulianbi, holding it can directly meet the hypocrite.Judging from the reactions of Huo Fengzheng and that person named Mu Yi, that guy's status should be quite high.

He also knew a thing or two about the Liu Qin mentioned by the black robe population.It seems that it was originally written by the imperial court, but was later sued by Zhou Pei. Liu Qin's family was convicted and punished nine clans.

Although he was only in charge of murder and silencing when he was in Qi Yutang, but he is more gossip than others, and he will always collect some gossip intentionally or unintentionally. For example, Zhou Pei's current status is due to the help of Liu Qin back then .

Then Liu Qin probably ended up in this situation because he had too many things about Zhou Pei in his hands, but Liu Qin has a connection with Huo Fengzheng, but Huo Fengzheng and Fu Lianbi seem to have some mysterious relationship, so can it be said that Zhou Pei got the current status? It is possible that everything was arranged by Fulianbi alone?

Luo Xingyun suddenly laughed, how could it be as simple as he thought.

Fulianbi has always been one of the four mysterious places in the world.Because it is shrouded in clouds and mists all year round, and people who enter will get lost there to death, so it is considered a terrible place in the world. It is rumored that there are some lost ghosts wandering alone on the edge, trying to fulfill their wish that they could not escape before they were alive.

But no one has ever said that there is a power hidden there...

No, someone did.

Luo Xingyun thought of the Prince of the Ninth Five-Year Prince who was looking for that Weifu at the beginning...it should be Mu Zhenghong, didn't he ask himself a question to solve it?One of them is a mysterious faction...it quite fits the floating lotus wall.

"This fake scholar... has quite a lot of secrets." Luo Xingyun raised the corner of his mouth, but since he didn't say anything, he wasn't interested in asking about it, and the jade pendant...

The jade pendant in his hand glowed with a warm luster.

He thought, what does that guy mean by giving him this jade pendant?Are you not afraid that you will leak the secret?

As soon as you leave the inn, you can hear the fastest-spreading news in the Jianghu, such as the tomb of the first emperor, or the fact that the martial arts order in the hands of the martial arts leader is fake.

"The location has been revealed?" Listening to what these people said, Luo Xingyun couldn't help but think of the radiant and calm emperor he met a few days ago, "I don't know what the king of the country would do if he heard that the baby was in his father's tomb What about the reaction? Oh, this is going too fast and I missed the show."
