Luo Xingyun and the two walked back all the way, the sunset was halfway to the west, Li Wanshu said that he had to fill his stomach to have the strength to go exploring, so the two ordered food in an inn.

For Luo Xingyun, this was the first decent meal he had come out of the Imperial Mausoleum, and when he was about to open his belly to eat, Li Wanshu ordered a few light vegetarian dishes very quickly, which he dubbed for Luo The residual poison of Xingyun can be cleared up quickly.

Of course, he himself would not honestly eat tofu mixed with shallots. After the vegetarian dishes were served, he ordered fried squid and steamed lobster.

"Ayun, you should not eat greasy food now. Tofu mixed with shallots is the most suitable for you." Li Wanshu sat aside and said in a persuasive tone, but he did not forget to pick up a piece of fish with his right hand and put it into himself. bowl.

Luo Xingyun tightly clenched the chopsticks in his hand, his eyes fell on the plate of white and green, extraordinarily plain tofu, resisting the urge to smear that guy's face with this dish.

I can only keep settling myself: This is the national food, and this kind of person is not worthy of using food to cover his face.

"Eh?! Shaoxia Li! Shaoxia Luo!"

Hearing the shout from the door of the inn, the two of them turned their heads and saw Su Tian walking in quickly in disguise, followed by Su Yuehua who was bouncing around and covering her face with gauze.

"Brother Luo! Brother Li!" That girl Su Yuehua didn't change much, now she greeted her like a swallow with a smile on her face, "Long time no see!"

Li Wanshu nodded to her with a smile, and then asked Su Tianyi to sit down: "It's rare to see you, why did you come here? You brought a restless daughter with you." Generally, martial arts leaders don't have time to wander around, after all There are still many matters under his command waiting for him to take care of them one by one. It is not long before that trip to the underground palace. The righteous way of martial arts has lost so many talents, so he should be as busy as a spinning top.

"I came here specially to look for you." Seeing her daughter was present, Su Tian lowered her voice when she saw that there were so many people around who couldn't use honorific names, "The emperor invited me to Beijing to discuss the re-election of the eight sects, but I found that Zhou This old thief Pei made some small moves, and what is even more strange is that after the discussion, he actually asked the emperor to discuss important matters in private."

"The emperor has been wary of him, what important matter can we discuss?" Li Wanshu said with a flick of his sleeves.

"I heard that the emperor reported some kind of conspiracy against the imperial court? Tsk, it seems that I still want to join hands with the emperor." Sutian glanced around and wiped his face casually, "I was just thinking...then Does what the old thief said have anything to do with us?"

Li Wanshu laughed a few times when he heard the words: "If the emperor is not stupid, he should be able to hear that Zhou Pei is very concerned about that threat, most likely because he was pulled by the tail, and the emperor was thinking about how to punish him. Well, how could they free up their hands and feet to deal with us. If we are gone, no one will be able to suppress Zhou Pei's eager ambition."

As soon as Su Tian heard that Li Wanshu had plans for this matter, he talked about another matter: "Young Xia Li recently heard that a young man named Ah Fu died near the floating lotus wall?"

"I've heard something about it." Li Wanshu understood that it was rumors that the nearby villagers went missing frequently. Generally speaking, as long as they didn't enter the inner wall of the floating lotus, everything would be fine. Recently, this incident is indeed a bit scary.

On the outside, that Ah Fu boy was a woodcutter in the village, but in fact he was the leader of his team. It had been a long time since he had seen him, and the villagers would definitely gossip.

Su Tianyi went on to say: "Because Ah Fu's death was unknown, we decided to find someone to investigate, but when I sent people to the village to question... the villagers actually said that they saw him two days ago He went out from the village and went into the woods to cut firewood, and his disappearance also started from that day."

"The man died five days ago, you mean...he came back from the dead?" Luo Xingyun frowned.

Su Yuehua's pretty face immediately changed color, and there was a little panic in her eyes: "Could the villagers have misread it?"

Li Wanshu was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Could it be someone pretending to be Ah Fu?"

"This...it's possible." Sutian nodded, "If that's the case, then why are the villagers saying that they can always hear bells in the middle of the night?"

"Bell?" Luo Xingyun was startled, then remembered the sound he heard in the woods at noon today, Li Wanshu also turned to look at him

Luo Xingyun frowned more and more tightly, he always felt that there was something wrong with the sound of the bell, but he couldn't say it out.

After a while, he suddenly remembered that when he heard the sound of the bell, he paused for a moment. That was not his subconscious habit, maybe... because of the sound of the bell.

Luo Xingyun told the three of them about this discovery, except for that girl Su Yuehua whose face was a little paler than before when she was frightened, the other two looked quite serious.

After all, with Luo Xingyun's perception, he couldn't find the clue all at once, and he didn't know if anyone was there, which showed that the other party's method of concealing the breath was very clever.If it wasn't for Luo Xingyun's fast running, he might have been successfully attacked.

Luo Xingyun was thinking, then the living creature he thought was an illusion, could it be a person?

"I just went to the Valley to look for Li Shaoxia. Miss Ah Ling guided me here, and told me to check it out, to see if I can't escape the fate of being scared." Su Tianyi smiled helplessly, and then Glancing at Su Yuehua who was sitting on the side, who was scared and wanted to go with her, "You girl is also worried. Now that Shaoxia Luo said that, it might be very dangerous there, so you should not go there."

"This is impossible!" Su Yuehua protested loudly when she heard that her father was going to throw her down, but then she lowered her voice slightly when she remembered that there were people around, "How can the children of the Jianghu be afraid of such intimidation! As the daughter of the leader of the martial arts Not even this courage and courage can convince the public! Don’t persuade me anymore! I must go!”

"Why are you so obedient!" Su Tian scolded with a smile, and patted his daughter.

"Since Yuehua also wants to go, let her go, and Ayun and I will accompany you." Li Wanshu said with a smile, "I would like to see what kind of medicine is sold in this pretender's gourd."

As night falls, many villages hidden in the mountains and forests will be revealed due to the fire and smoke, and the forest is naturally full of flying insects and birds, making it very lively.

They randomly found a small village with a lot of people, and after saying hello to the head of that village and explaining their intention of coming, the people in the village enthusiastically led them to settle in three small empty houses. The first lady in the village saw Suyue Hua looks very cute, and even invited her to live with her daughter who is about the same age as her own.

Because it was in the evening, most of the villagers had dinner, so they moved a small bench and sat in a circle at the door of their own house to chat with their neighbors, while the children were laughing and playing around.

Today these four people also went to the village to do as the Romans do. After settling down their residences, they moved a bench with the villagers and sat next to a few aunts. As for the reason, it is naturally that the aunts like to watch young boys, especially gentlemen like Li Wanshu. Wen's son brother.

Luo Xingyun wanted to inquire about the news, naturally those seven aunts and eight aunts love to gossip, so let that hypocrite sacrifice his luster for a while to make a sure profit.

Of course, Luo Xingyun is also considered a good-looking young man, but unfortunately this guy's eyeballs are of a strange color, and he deliberately put on a face that should not be approached by strangers to let off air, and he successfully forced him to retreat Enthusiastic aunt.

The ladies didn't give up, it didn't matter if they were indifferent, and there was another one who seemed to have a good temper, so after Li Wanshu was helpless and praised one by one by the ladies in the village, they chatted about the recent matter.

"Oh, I've heard those bells ringing these past few nights, and I don't know where they are coming from. Could it be ghosts and gods? It's too scary!" The aunt said loudly.

"Ma'am, isn't this village stable recently?" Su Tian immediately brought up the topic when he heard that there was a door.

"We don't know what happened. Recently, several people in the village have disappeared, and they all entered the forest at night and couldn't get out.

People say that it was the sound of the bell that seduced the soul!Just like Ah Fu at the end of the village, what a good guy, he was hooked in a few days ago, and he hasn't come out yet! "Another aunt said mysteriously.

"Then how do you know that Ah Fu has been seduced?" Su Yuehua asked.

Unexpectedly, the aunt's face became weird in an instant. She patted Su Yuehua's shoulder and said in a low voice: "Little girl, you have asked the right question. We didn't know the reason for the disappearance until Aunt Li That day..."

In the evening of that day, Aunt Li just came back from washing clothes outside.She looked down and saw that her skirt was covered with mud, so she patted it while walking forward. When she was not paying attention, she was hit from the front by a person, causing her to sit on the ground.

Now it's a good deal, the skirt is unnecessary, and Aunt Li is so angry that she doesn't even look at anyone and yells: "Who walks without eyes! Do you have eyes to make up for it!"

"Yes, I'm sorry." The person who knocked her down didn't move, and just replied her, but the tone of the speech was very weird.

Aunt Li's heart skipped a beat when she heard that, she looked up and found that the person who bumped into her was Ah Fu, she didn't think about blaming her anymore, she just looked at the other person as if she was going into the woods, but it was getting dark.

"Ah Fu? Are you still going into the woods at this time? It's getting dark!" Aunt Li patted the dirt on her body and stood up.

"No, it's okay, I, I'll go into the forest, go, chop, get some firewood." Ah Fu paused word by word in a very slow speed, as if he was talking to a deaf man, and he almost raised his hand and gestured twice. down.

Aunt Li suddenly felt that something was wrong, how could anyone talk like that?Not stuttering.

Although the sky was gloomy, she looked up and saw that something was wrong. A Fuji's eyes were dull at the moment, and he didn't know where to look when he was talking, and he was staring straight ahead. There was also a weird smile on his face, as if the corners of his mouth had been forcibly pulled up, which was terrifying.

Aunt Li trembled in fright, she was clearly possessed by an evil spirit, and then she thought that people in the village had heard that there were bells ringing in the middle of the night recently, so she naturally thought of the two together, and she didn't dare to stop this person who didn't know whether it was death or not. The living people hurriedly ran to the other side of the village.

Unexpectedly, Ah Fu never came back for two or three days after he left.

In fact, Su Yuehua, after listening to this aunt's vivid description, was left staring blankly. It's a pity that in order to protect her dignity as a heroine and not be looked down upon by her own father, she insisted on sitting on the same spot as a statue. A woodcarving of a staring beauty.

The other three people who were listening to the story were thinking that that Ah Fu was probably not a double that was carefully brought in by someone. According to what Aunt Li had seen and heard, it was hard to say whether he was a living person.

When the sky was completely dark and the moon was high, the villagers went back to the house one after another to prepare to rest, and Luo Xingyun and the others stayed in place to discuss.

"If there is any strange sound of bells tonight, don't startle the snake," Li Wanshu said. "As for that Ah Fu, we are still not sure what happened to him. We still have to rely on the clues tonight to figure it out."

Su Tian asked, "If we see someone, should we arrest him?"

Li Wanshu: "Catch him, but if we escape and we can't catch up, let it be. Don't leave the village."

After Li Wanshu told the two father and daughter to go back, he looked at Luo Xingyun again, and told Luo Xingyun earnestly and unexpectedly: "Ah Yun, if you find anything, call me immediately, and don't act without authorization."

He understands this guy too well, if something happens, he will be the first to run out. The problem is that Luo Xingyun's martial arts are generally similar to Su Yuehua who is jumping away outside, so he must not take risks.It's a pity that he found that the assassin always only remembers to eat but not to fight, as long as the injury heals, he will continue to be alive and kicking.

Perhaps after being poisoned, Luo Xingyun finally learned to be good, so when Li Wanshu asked him seriously, he didn't talk nonsense, but just nodded to show that he understood.

At night, the only sound is the chirping of insects outside the window.

Luo Xingyun's sleep was too shallow, and due to the special situation tonight, he himself was basically in a state of half asleep and half awake.

At this moment, a crisp bell sounded, faint and vague, as if floating from a distance, but the ending had already entered the room, lingering in people's ears.

The person who was still lying on the bed like a deep sleep just now opened his eyes at some point, awake like a person who hadn't slept at all, quietly rolling his light-colored pupils in the darkness.

But he didn't make any movements, just listened quietly, but his breathing was as tight as when he was asleep.

"Dingling..." The bell rang again as expected, this time Luo Xingyun heard it very clearly, the sound was not strong, it was soft and soft, but it seemed to make people's consciousness sink into it together.

The sound of the bell actually has a calming effect?

Luo Xingyun identified the source of the sound, he was separated by half a window, and outside the window there was a motionless shadow of a strange silhouette cast on the window.

He was about to get up to greet this unexpected guest, but suddenly found that he couldn't move his body!

It was like being tapped on acupuncture points, at least he felt that he was struggling hard, but his limbs were completely cut off from him, no matter how he tried to move, he didn't give him the slightest response from his master.

At this moment Luo Xingyun was too lazy to think about what was going on, he just remembered that Li Wanshu was hiding in the next room, if he could make something move... Yingyue!His sword has been placed beside the bed by him!

But at this time, the motionless outline outside the window suddenly shook, and then Luo Xingyun saw a part of the black shadow separated from that mass, and that part of the shadow moved up slowly, swaying across half a page of the window. There was a blinding white light.

He is all too familiar, this is an arm holding a dagger!

Thinking of this, he struggled to struggle, the veins on his forehead and neck protruded slightly, and at the moment when his arm was about to open half of the window, his hand trembled suddenly as if suffering from some strange disease, Yingyue, who was beside her, bumped off the bed!
