write a letter

In the vast desert to the north of the capital, a mighty gust of wind mischievously lifted up a large piece of yellow sand, as if to explore the secrets covered by the yellow sand.

And at a depth of more than ten feet below the ground, there is a strange sight of a passage extending in all directions and breaking through the rock formation. The place is bleak and cold, with dim fires standing everywhere, which is probably the same as the mansion of the Lord of the Underworld as the world talks about it.

But at this moment, the person who should have been coming and going in the passage disappeared for some reason, and no one knew when the most mysterious assassin camp in the world was empty.

After Fan Yang sent the memorial trustee back to the palace in a hurry, he thought about it and Mu Zhongyu decided to take the most dangerous but safest way, going directly to the wall of floating lotus.

As we all know, Huahualianbi is a place that cannibalize people without spitting out their bones. The natural miasma composed of many trees in it is very terrifying, and ordinary people never return.

But this time the matter is very important. If Fan Yang and the others can't rush over as soon as possible, they will die, and if they stay here, they will die. It is better to fight to the death, at least those assassins dare not take any action in the forest easily.

The first person they encountered after entering the forest was not an assassin, but a woodcutter who went into the forest to chop wood and prepare to go home.

The woodcutter looked ordinary, holding an ax in his hand. When he first met the two people, he thought it was a jungle beast, and almost threw his ax at Zhong Yu who appeared first.

Fan Yang was startled by the woodcutter's daring behavior. After observing this man for a long time, he couldn't find anything wrong. He could only ask, "This... big brother, where do you live?" Inside the floating lotus wall?"

The woodcutter was even more surprised: "Life is like this here? Are you two foreigners? How did you come into this valley?"

"The two of us want to go through this place and go to the ferry where we can take a boat directly to Yanhui Pass." Fan Yang said.

The woodcutter nodded: "So I wanted to go through this valley, but the forest here is complicated and the road is difficult to identify. If you two need it, I can point you in the direction after I bring the firewood home."

"Hey! That's really what I wish for! I heard that if you enter the Floating Lotus Wall, you won't be able to get out. I don't think that big brother still has the ability to come and go freely in the forest?" Fanyin's face was full of joy.

"Haha, I don't have any skills. It's just that I grew up here and walked a lot to know the way. This is just the outer edge of the floating lotus wall. As long as people in the nearby villages know the way." The woodcutter laughed, "The man-eating The name of the floating lotus wall is famous because of the inner circle, I heard that there is a very beautiful big lake inside, but unfortunately there are many people who go in, but I have never seen those who come out."

Hearing the words, Fan Yang couldn't help but look into the depths of the woods, the trees over there were getting denser and denser, and there seemed to be something vaguely peeping out in the white mist during the wandering period, thinking that he couldn't help feeling a little creepy.

Fortunately, they met a familiar person, otherwise they probably would have been trapped inside.

The woodcutter returned home, put down the dry firewood, and led them into the woods. While leading the way, he complained about some trivial things in the past few years: "Hey, it's been so peaceful in the floating lotus wall recently, and there are always rumors of ghosts. The thing is, it was originally said that hauntings were only in the inner circle, and everyone knew that no one would go in for a stroll, but for some reason these days, the forest outside... there are still ghosts in the forest in the middle of the night wandering around here, the men in our village turned pale with fright, you two must not come in at night."

After hearing this, Fan Yang felt curious: "Have you seen it?"

"Hey, it's been a nightmare for a year." The woodcutter lowered his voice, "A while ago, someone in the next-door village got lost in the woods at night, and the body was found later, but within a few days, that The dead have come back to life!"

"Resurrected?" Fan Yang asked in surprise.

"That's right, I saw someone else. A few days ago, four outsiders like you stayed in the next village. No, one of the girls was captured by a ghost. Fortunately, the three men If you have the ability, you actually brought that girl back." The woodcutter got a little excited when he said that, "Oh, I see, those people are some gods who descended to earth!"

"Wait, you said someone came to the next village a few days ago? What does it look like? What kind of clothes are you wearing?" Fan Yang asked.

"This... I haven't seen them very carefully. They are all the aunts and girls in the village who ran over to see them." The woodcutter tried his best to recall, "It should be the handsome young man!"

Fan Yang and Zhong Yu looked at each other, and had some guesses in their hearts.

Zhong Yu glanced at the woodcutter, and used his internal force to transmit a sound to Fan Yang: Li Wanshu and the two of them are probably among them.

Fan Yang blinked and responded with a smile.

The woodcutter was very enthusiastic, and he talked with them about a lot of strange things in the village along the way. export.

"Go straight ahead and you can go out. It's getting late, so I won't continue to send you two off!" The woodcutter said with a smile.

"No problem! Thank you, big brother, for leading the way. We will meet again!" Fan Yang waved his hand, and walked forward with Zhong Yu.

When the figures of the two disappeared completely in the woods ahead, a person suddenly jumped down from the tree beside him. It was Ah Ling, the steward in bright yellow clothes.

Ah Ling looked ahead and said, "You didn't reveal your identity, did you?"

The woodcutter, who had a simple and honest face just now, raised his head very seriously at this moment: "This subordinate was careful all the way, so he should not have been noticed."

"Well, it's good to send people away. Those who are not in trouble with the young master, don't let them step into this muddy water." Ah Ling lightly jumped up the tree, "Let's go."

At the shore of Xiangyang Lake, there are usually a lot of literati who come here to recite poems and fight against each other, but this is also during the daytime or when there are lantern festivals. At this time, no matter how much the literati like to recite poems and fight against each other, they should go to Zhou Gong to play chess .

But Luo Xingyun is an exception, for a person like him who mostly haunts in the black, this time is still early.He squatted on a tree not far away and stared at the shore of Xiangyang Lake with only a little bit of fire, holding his breath, showing a rare dignified look.

By the lakeside with the lights shining, a figure can be vaguely seen walking slowly there, wearing long clothes and the wind from the lake is blowing. To put it bluntly, he is very personable, probably the person he wants to meet this time.

He decided not to squat on the tree to pretend to be a bird. He stretched out his hand and clapped the flagon in his hand and took a quick sip. The warmth from his throat to his stomach drove away the night chill all over his body.

Perhaps it was because of Jiu Zhuang's cowardice, he used his lightness kung fu to borrow strength from a few trees, then jumped up, and soon reached the lake.

After landing, Luo Xingyun straightened his clothes slowly, then put his hands behind his back and said: "I have already appeared alone, so you don't need to hide, are you afraid that your master is in a hurry?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding air seemed to stagnate for a moment, and there was a sound in the nearby grass, and two people in black cloaks came out from inside.

"The leader has been waiting for a long time." One of them bowed his head and said calmly.

Luo Xingyun glanced at them indifferently, and then walked towards the figure by the lake in a frank manner.

Taking a closer look, he discovered that the leader of the cult was actually wearing an iron mask, which completely covered his entire face, but judging from his posture, he should be a man.

Tsk, it's another thing that doesn't dare to hide its head and show its tail. It's probably not a good person.

Luo Xingyun commented like this in his heart at the moment, but he forgot that he also belonged to the category of 'things that hide their heads and show their tails' before.

"Master Luo, I have invited you here to discuss something important." The leader of the cult was the first to speak politely, his voice was low, and there seemed to be a slight smile between his words.

Luo Xingyun stood up straight, with a smile on his face but he didn't appreciate it: "Come on, although I have never seen you, but the leader, you have worked so hard to invite someone you have been chasing for more than half a year to suddenly treat him like a distinguished guest. Come on, heh, there probably won’t be any good things, I’m asking for something if I voluntarily take the bait, since we know it well, there’s no need to beat around the bush.”

Although he said he was asking for something, the way he spoke was more like someone owed him money and hadn't paid it back yet, and he came here to collect the debt, so he was justified.

The leader laughed softly: "Mr. Luo is really an interesting person, the leader is not talking nonsense, I want the key of the ancient gate in your hand."

"Okay, before I think of the conditions in exchange, I hope the leader will answer the next few questions." Luo Xingyun said bluntly.

The leader of the cult waved his sleeves: "The thing you want to ask, my lord, is probably your life experience."

Luo Xingyun raised his eyebrows and sneered: "No, what I want to ask is... Where is my father? He shouldn't be dead. As far as I know, he hasn't passed away."

"The previous leader passed away safely in the cult, and the whole church knows this." The voice of the leader of the cult was flat.

Although Luo Xingyun has doubts about what Qi Yutang's hall master said, he really doesn't believe a word of the current master in front of him. If his cheap father passed away peacefully, Luo Xingyun would not be the key to the sacred object It is estimated that he can't even touch a hair, so how could he slip out in front of so many congregants and fall into his hands.

"The leader himself must be very clear about how he hasn't yet, so I won't gossip." Luo Xingyun turned his face to see the leader's iron mask glowing with metal under the moonlight, and suddenly said, "But the leader is in a hurry That key, you don’t necessarily know what’s behind the ancient gate, right?”

Sure enough, the leader's movements froze, and his tone became a little impatient: "...So you know?"

A joke, of course he, Luo Xingyun, doesn't know. The leader of the cult is born and bred and doesn't even know what's in it. He, a person who hasn't even read the cult's main altar and canon, knows nothing. He just wants to cheat. It's all about keys.

.

But it is obvious that this trick is very effective, the leader has automatically imagined a lot of things in Luo Xingyun's pretentious smile, and perfected the way and the whole process for him to get the news.

"...It's the right protector, your mother told you?"

"Not only do I know what's behind it, I also know how to use it so that it won't be damaged." Luo Xingyun followed the leader's idea and spoke freely, whetting other people's appetites before changing the subject, "It's just that Luo has only one life left, and I hope that the leader can bring a living old leader in exchange, otherwise everything behind the ancient gate, including the key, will be taken into the soil by me. If the leader wants to find it, he can wait until next year In spring, let’s see if a flower can bloom in Luo’s burial place?”

"Are you threatening? Did you know that you came here alone, and never thought about whether you would stay with someone and a secret?"

"Of course I thought about it, but you think so too, the leader. My mother is gone, and you can't find my cheap father. I am the only one in the world who knows how to use the things behind the ancient gate. The leader can weigh it up." Luo Xingyun said.

The leader seemed very unaccustomed to being threatened by someone holding a knife against his neck. He suppressed his anger: "If the teacher said, he hopes that Mr. Luo will follow the teacher to the main altar as a guest?"

...that's what I wished for!

Luo Xingyun was overjoyed in his heart, but his surface became more serious, he sneered and said: "There are so many ways to make life worse than death, compared to the past, I'm afraid it would be difficult to die, not to mention...the leader can really find the old man Hierarch, I'm afraid you can't wait for him to meet Luo, so you can't help but make a move?"

"Having said that, it's another matter whether you can find the old leader. The big deal is that the leader agreed to your conditions." Seeing that Luo Xingyun seemed to be hesitating, the leader said, "Believe it or not, but it's up to you whether you can leave or not." It's up to me, if it's not necessary, my leader is very happy to entertain Mr. Luo politely."

It means, if Luo Xingyun, you don't use the knife, then I can guarantee that you will go to my lair safely.

There is no choice for this, Luo Xingyun is not so full that he has to be beaten to be honest, he is very happy to suffer less physical pain, so on the surface he agrees very unwillingly.

"Young master Luo is a smart person, come here, please." The leader raised his hand, and the aura that was lying in ambush in all directions immediately receded like a tide.

The corners of Luo Xingyun's mouth twitched, thinking that the leader of the cult thought highly of him, Luo, so the **** sent a small team over, right?He is just an assassin, how can he really defeat a hundred with one?

And at the moment when he was about to lift his foot, a cold light suddenly flashed from the nearby bushes, almost shooting towards his face.

Luo Xingyun raised his eyebrows and turned his head slightly, seemingly avoiding it very easily, but the feeling of the unknown thing rubbing his face was really bad.Standing behind him happened to be the leader of the cult. This man with unfathomable martial arts just raised his arm to block the cold light.

"Silver needles?" The leader looked at the three things that reflected the silver light between his fingers, and looked up to where he came from.

One person jumped down from the tree lightly.

Luo Xingyun glanced at it through the moonlight, and was startled: Why did this guy follow?

The person standing under the tree was dressed in green and held a broken bone fan. He was still dressed as a literati, but this literati stared at the two people in front of him with a pair of black eyes, exuding a faintly aggressive aura.

"Who are you?" The leader looked at the person who came, "It's fine if you come here uninvited, but you still want to hurt someone?"

Li Wanshu's eyes fell on Luo Xingyun's face, and said in a deep voice: "Luo Xingyun, you must not follow him."

For the first time, Luo Xingyun was called by the full name and full surname of this guy who has been familiar with him since he met him, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart. Guess how much this guy has been hiding out there?

However, the leader of the cult knew that the person who appeared suddenly was blocking the way, so he waved his hand unceremoniously to let the people around him go up, and he walked in the other direction without looking back, as if he was not afraid of Luo Xingyun's meeting Luo Pao: "Let's go first, Mr. Luo doesn't care, or does Mr. Luo think that you have another chance to escape if you have one more person?"

Luo Xingyun calmly glanced at Li Wanshu surrounded by several people, knowing that there would be no serious problems with this person, just when he was about to turn his head and leave, a figure was kicked away and flew towards him, He fell to the ground and died.

"Luo Xingyun!" Li Wanshu stared at the other party, made a breakthrough from the crowd, raised his hand and threw out a slender iron chain. Luo Xingyun knew the power of this iron chain. Instantly wrapped around the latter's arm.

It's just that this time Li Wanshu lightened his pulling force, followed the force on Luo Xingyun's side and suddenly exerted force, then jumped up and swept towards the other side with light work.
