Huafa Luoyang

Zhuang Jiuyao also laughed with a snort, and said: "Yo, it seems that I have found a good baby, who dares to get so close to me."

The visitor was noncommittal, still smiling and not speaking.Zhuang Jiuyao suppressed his smile, and said expressionlessly: "Mei Ji, I advise you, some roads should not go too far."

The son's younger brother is indeed Mei Ji!

Zhuang Ning'er frowned.

Mei Ji walked a few steps forward, stroked the trunk of the magnolia tree in the courtyard, and looked up at the flowers: "I haven't seen such a beautiful magnolia for many years."

"Brother," he looked at Zhuang Jiuyao, "How about we make a deal?"

Zhuang Jiuyao raised his chin and looked at him contemptuously.Mei Ji reached out and picked out a pouch from her bosom, lifted the strap and shook it.Seeing this, Zhuang Jiuyao narrowed his eyes, and said in silence for a long time, "Don't you just want me to die?"

"No, you are my senior brother, how can I be willing to let you die." Mei Ji took a few steps forward, gradually approached Zhuang Jiuyao, paused, frowned and stepped back, touching her heart, "Tsk, I'm still careless No. It seems that I really have to consider your proposal."

Zhuang Jiuyao pursed her lips, and Mei Ji laughed: "Don't be so nervous."

"What exactly do you want?" Zhuang Jiuyao's voice was cold, which surprised Zhuang Ning'er too.

Mei Ji was not affected at all, but Shi Shi smiled: "Picture."

"What picture?" Zhuang Jiuyao asked.

"Senior brother is always so true when he lies, I almost believed it." Mei Ji flicked the pouch with her fingertips, and glanced at Zhuang Ning'er, "Don't panic, I will give you a big gift first, and then you decide what to do." Don't make a deal with me."

Zhuang Jiuyao looked around suddenly: "This Yaowang Valley is also the place where you grew up, how could you bear it?"

"Why can't you bear it?" Mei Ji was surprised, "Brother, you were not like this before. The more you think about it, the more you worry, the worse you will lose. As a junior, I can only advise you, some Don't get too emotional."

"Although it's useless to persuade." He backed up while talking, threw the pouch in his hand to Zhuang Jiuyao, turned around and climbed up the treetop, and disappeared after a few leaps.

The pouch fell into Zhuang Jiuyao's hands, Zhuang Ning'er was still startled, and a little confused, she called out in a low voice, "Master?"

Zhuang Jiuyao kept silent for a while with her behind his back, opened the pouch and saw the fire cattail inside, it had been processed, but the most critical stamen was gone.

He put it away without showing any trace, and turned around: "Clean it up, or if Qingcheng and Xun Luo came back and saw it, they might feel uncomfortable."

"Okay." Zhuang Ning'er nodded, and involuntarily stretched out her hand to touch her back. There was a picture on it, and Mei Jifang looked at her with eyes that clearly meant something.

,

In the first month of the lunar year, I hurried and hurried, and after the dragon raised his head, he finally approached the Valley of the Medicine King. It was only two or three days away, and Xun Luo finally had a sense of reality.

After being poisoned, the outside world is actually the same outside world, but my state of mind is different.

There wasn't much danger along the way, but the journey was exhausting, and after a long time, it was indeed a bit difficult.

Walking to the last bustling town on the way back to the valley this day, Xun Luo always felt that someone was following behind him, but he still couldn't find any obvious signs.

When he finally stopped at a restaurant, he looked for an opportunity and asked quietly: "Brother Wei, do you think there is something wrong?"

He turned his back to the people in the entire inn, picked up the wine and said this, then raised his head and drank the contents of the glass, lowered his eyelashes, and looked at Wei Qingcheng for a moment.

There was a slight smile in Wei Qingcheng's eyes, and he raised his head and drank the wine. The moment he put down the glass, he nodded his head a little, and sighed contentedly, as if to praise the aroma of the wine.

Xun Luo knew it, and he also discovered it.

They stayed in the inn after nightfall, and the surroundings seemed calm, but neither of them fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, a faint smoke seeped into the window frame, and the fragrance of mist entered the room of two people at the same time.After half a cup of tea, someone sneaked into Xun Luo's room.

The assassin tiptoed to the edge of the collapse, raised his long sword and stabbed straight down, there was a muffled puffing sound from under the bedding, he immediately realized something was wrong, but it was too late.

A dagger crept up to his neck silently.

Xun Luo's hands were quick, he wiped the knife with his right hand, the light of the knife flashed by, and his left hand followed closely to cover the severed neck to prevent the sound of blood gushing too loudly.

The assassin was dead without even struggling, and then he put the body on the couch, covered it with a quilt, and inserted the long sword into it.

There were three soft knocks outside the door, as if hitting the wall with a stone, and Xun Luo knew that Wei Qingcheng had done the same thing.

The difference is that Wei Qingcheng has already put on the assassin's night clothes at this time.

Xun Luo hid in the cubicle behind the couch, saw another assassin enter the room, seemed to be waiting for his companion but never did, so he came in to check the situation.

The assassin also approached the edge, saw the corpse on the couch, lowered his voice and pretended to call like a cricket, but no one answered him.

He looked around the room and yelled again, but there was still no answer, so he stretched out his hand and lifted the quilt, and saw at a glance that the person on the couch was wearing the same night clothes as himself, before screaming, Xun Luo dagger It's behind his ear.

The assassin was frightened and dodged in a hurry, the sound of fighting came from outside the door, he seemed to understand that he was in an ambush, at this moment, Xun Luo's dagger came again, the assassin had to run away in a hurry.

Xun Luo pretended to chase after him, took two steps but stood still at the door of the room, quietly listening to the movement outside.

There was another sound of equipment crashing after being lowered, and then there was a mess of footsteps. It seemed that several people stepped on the roof tiles one after another, and the movement disappeared after a while.

Only then did Xun Luo put away the dagger.The knife just now was intentionally sideways, otherwise it would be impossible to kill one by one.

He praised in his heart, Wei Qingcheng really has the ability to make the sound of many people fighting by himself in night clothes outside.

Packed his bags, he never looked at the corpse on the couch, he only left the silver taels on the table, and went out.Before entering the inn during the day, I made an appointment with Wei Qingcheng. Go west and meet me at the edge of the town.

I don't know if Wei Qingcheng can get any news from those black-clothed men on this trip.

How could something happen when he was so close to Yaowang Valley?

He quietly left the inn and walked to the edge of the town. The dawn had just dawned.

There is a Town God's Temple next to the stone tablet with the name of the town engraved on it. He just stopped when a person came out of the temple.

It turned out to be waiting for him here.

Xun Luo raised his chin slightly, pursed his lips, looked at Mei Ji who was not far away, and didn't speak.Mei Ji stared at him for a moment, then sighed suddenly: "Why does everyone see me like this?"

"You sent him?" Xun Luo asked lightly.

Mei Ji was slightly surprised, Xun Luo frowned, feeling that his expression was not fake.

"Who?" May asked.

As soon as the words were finished, a voice came from behind the temple: "Master! I'm broken this time! Come and see!"

Xun Luo looked over and saw Qi Yun coming out from behind the temple.Qi Yun was still holding a branch in his hand, presumably he was drawing something on the ground, he was surprised and happy when he saw Xun Luo, and shouted: "Brother Xun!"

Xun Luo nodded, looked at Mei Ji again, and asked Qi Yun, "Why are you here?"

Qi Yun immediately said: "Brother Xun, we have found a way to save you!"

Seeing that Xun Luo looked at Mei Ji suspiciously, Qi Yun also took a look at Mei Ji, saw Mei Ji's indifferent expression, and said: "We came to find the medicinal materials, but Master really has a way to save you!"

He looked at Mei Ji again: "That's right, Master!"

Xun Luo had nothing to say for a moment, and was a little surprised to see him like this.I don't know if Qi Yun is too naive, or if Mei sent him some ecstasy soup, he even couldn't help but think of Zhuang Ninger's previous guess.

Just as he was trying to stop his wandering thoughts, Mei Ji said, "Don't expect too much, it's not certain yet."

Xun Luo didn't have any expectations at all, so he shook his head and walked aside, not talking to them anymore.Qi Yun asked: "Didn't the master say that if you find the medicine for the Taoist priest who keeps the word?"

"It's not that easy. I haven't finished what I said before, so it's not certain what other symptoms the medicine will cause." Mei Ji laughed.

Xun Luo frowned slightly, remembering the elixir that Shouyin took out from Shouyin's hand, Shouyan said that he didn't need it anymore, so he kept it all the time, and it was in his own bag at this time.

I only heard Qi Yun ask again: "But didn't the master say that the demon knife actually suppresses a person's original internal strength, and uses the method of retrograde energy accumulation to make a person gain power in a short period of time, which is no different from going crazy. The elixir used by Yan Daochang on weekdays is to mobilize one's true qi to resist the evil spirit of the demon sword, so Brother Xun took that medicine, wouldn't his inner strength come back?"

"I understand well." Mei Ji nodded, "That's what I meant earlier."

Qi Yun looked at him with some puzzlement.Mei Ji saw Xun Luo's involuntarily tense back, suppressed her smile, and said, "The internal strength can be returned, but the price has to be paid."

Xun Luo, who had been silent all this time, finally opened his mouth: "What price?"

Mei Ji smiled: "You should know better than me. Naturally, life is shorter. However, there is not much difference between living for three months and living for one month."

Xun Luo understands that he is only lingering now, the time of poisoning is delayed, the price is that the internal energy is locked, if he wants the internal energy to come back, the poison will naturally develop faster.

He had thought it through, and his heart was relieved, maybe Mo Dao Zhuang Jiuyao had figured this out too, so he answered that he didn't know when he asked, but let him keep the elixir for himself.

This probably left a glimmer of possibility for him to die with dignity.

I just don't know if Ruomei sent it or not, and if Zhuang Jiuyao would tell herself.

Xun Luo thought about it twice, then turned to Mei Ji and nodded, said "Thank you", and stretched out.Mei Ji curled her lips and said nothing.

Qi Yun was bewildered, flustered with concern, as if he didn't know how to find Luo safely, Mei Ji stretched out his hand to hold the flute, and patted him on the shoulder: "You decide your own fate, why are you so fussy?"

As soon as the words fell, a figure appeared in the distance. Xun Luo took a glance and knew that it was Wei Qingcheng who was rushing over. Mei Ji obviously saw it too, turned around and lifted Qi Yun's collar at the back of his neck, and said "See you later", disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Xun Luo glanced at the direction they were leaving, went up to meet them, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Wei, how are you?"

Wei Qingcheng: "A group of young people, they were all silenced before they found out where they were sent."

Xun Luo was terrified, and seeing that he seemed to be intact, Wei Qingcheng smiled and gestured truthfully: "I saw something wrong and walked in time, there may be pursuers behind, let's go faster."

Leaving the City God's Temple in a hurry, Xun Luo didn't know if Wei Qingcheng had seen the master and apprentice.

After driving for days and nights, they arrived at the inn at the foot of Xing's Villa in the evening, which is where Xun Luo and Zhuang Jiuyao stayed on the first day out of the valley.

It was also in this inn that the first incident of breaking Yin happened.

The two didn't want to stay longer, and planned to go back to the valley overnight. When they walked to the inn to find Luo, they were surprised to find that there were many people with high martial arts skills in the inn.

Those people all dressed up as traffickers and pawns. Although their aura was suppressed, the aura mixed with swords, lights and swords was still there.

So he went into the inn to start a job, and after sitting for a while, Xun Luo excused himself to go to the counter and asked, "The business of the store has been good these days, but is there any room available?"

The shopkeeper hadn't spoken yet, a businessman next to him approached him, he didn't say what he was going to do, and there was no special expression on his face, but the shopkeeper obviously saw it, smiled, and apologized to Xun Luo: " Unfortunately, the guest rooms are all full. Where are you going, guest officer? On the Xing Family Mountain?"

Xun Luo clearly saw the twitching expression on his face, and replied: "Yes. I'm going to visit my relatives. It's in the village above. It's getting late, so I'm afraid I won't be able to walk."

The shopkeeper still smiled apologetically: "Oh, look here, there is a small shop ten miles to the west, why don't you go there to try your luck?"

Before the businessman left, Xun Luo said again: "Xiao Er is too busy, I see that the shopkeeper should invite more people, and I can't wait for anyone to bring a pot of tea."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "I'll be here soon."

Xun Luo nodded, returned to his seat, exchanged glances with the calm Wei Qingcheng, and each had their meals.

It was impossible to stay, and even though it was night, the two of them went on the road.

After leaving the inn, Xun Luoxing took a few steps and paused, Wei Qingcheng walked ahead, pretending not to know.The people behind hid themselves, and neither of them turned back.

At midnight, Xun Luo and Wei Qingcheng hid in the shadow behind the inn, and there were chaotic footsteps rushing towards them in the distance, and after a while, the inn was brightly lit.

In the room facing the shadow, a tall and steady silhouette can be vaguely seen.

In the room, the owner of the silhouette was standing in a busy environment, and sitting around him were all top-notch masters in the martial arts world.One of them asked, "Is the news reliable?"

Another person replied: "The leader of the alliance has come in person, what do you think?"

The person in front said again: "Fortunately, the leader of the alliance is working nearby. Otherwise, it would take such a long time to go back and forth, and it would be difficult to deal with the grass and startle the snake."
