The cultivation base of the Patriarch of the Li family is not too high to put it bluntly, but it is only in the initial stage of integration.But even so, the situation of killing with one sword is still a bit unacceptable.

He Yufan's black sword was still fluttering and spinning, the tip of the sword was trembling, and it seemed that it would be out of control at any time, launching a second attack on the group of cultivators surrounding Huan Chengzhi.

After his words fell, the people who were still fighting just now stopped their movements as if they had been pressed to pause.

He Yufan was not in a hurry, and patiently waited for their choice with arms folded.

Fortunately, the men in Tsing Yi who followed were not stupid. They looked at each other a few times, then bowed their heads at He Yufan, then quickly lifted up their companion's corpse, and disappeared in place after a few jumps.

This group of people came and went quickly, and when everything returned to calm, only the fresh blood on the ground remained, which could prove their existence.

He Yufan stretched out his hand to grab the magic sword back into his hand, and looked at the blade of the sword that was glowing red because of bloodthirsty with a complicated expression.After all, he sighed, put the long sword back into the Qiankun bag, and asked Huan Chengzhi, "Is it okay to let them go like this?"

"What's wrong?" Huan Chengzhi asked back, and walked slowly back to He Yufan. He said: "At most they will report back and report that you are much stronger than expected. This news let them spread There's nothing wrong with going out, at least it won't happen again that you were treated like a persimmon."

He Yufan hummed and said, "But the old man just said that Li Murou is his daughter, so he should be the head of the Li family, right? If I kill him, will we have succeeded in revenge?"

"of course not."

Huan Chengzhi chuckled and shook his head: "His cultivation base is not high, and Li Jiaming is on the surface that he is doing things, but the real power is actually his wife, so it can only be regarded as a small part of it."

After finishing speaking, he paused, and added: "But I think, at least until we come back from Molan Pavilion, we won't see the Li family's ambush."

Listening to this, He Yufan pursed his lips with regret.

But what Huan Chengzhi said was correct, as soon as the people from the Li family reported back, it was time for them to go to Mo Lan Pavilion.

Thinking of this, he didn't worry about anything.Only took out the sky mirror again, and let it show the direction of the destination again.

According to the path pointed out above, the two arrived at the place not long after walking.

Just as Huan Chengzhi guessed yesterday, it really is a mountain group with lush trees.

And looking at the map on the sky mirror in detail, the location of Molan Pavilion is indeed in the middle of this large mountain.

He Yufan set up the awning and looked up at the mountain high into the clouds for a while, and couldn't help sighing: "You said that Molan Pavilion lives in such a place, how difficult it is to go out."

"So you don't write too, don't they go out often?" Huan Chengzhi glanced up at him, and continued to talk about the reality that made He Yufan's head ache: "There is one more question, I also said before There are a lot of barriers on this road. So if we want to go up, we will definitely not be able to use the shrinking ground, that is to say..."

"That means I have to go by myself."

He Yufan covered his face in pain, and helped him say what he couldn't bear to say later.By the way, he let out a long sigh, and said, "Suddenly, I don't really want to go to Mo Lan Pavilion."

Huan Chengzhi listened with his left ear coming in and out of his right ear, and finally stretched out his hand to comfort the man's head and rubbed it twice, then led him, followed the instructions on the sky mirror, and walked slowly towards the side of the mountain.

To say that He Yufan absolutely wanted to go to Molan Pavilion before he was on the mountain.But when the two of them had just climbed a mountain after walking through the barrier all afternoon, He Yufan's desire to return home was so strong that he almost shouted.

However, the road has come here, and it is a bit hypocritical to say that going back.

Gritting his teeth like this all the way until the moon came out of the east, He Yufan finally couldn't help but stop and found a big tree to lean against and sat down: "I didn't say that there isn't even a way to go up this mountain, it can't be Is the mirror pointing in the wrong direction?"

"The location must be right, otherwise there wouldn't be so many obstacles." Huan Chengzhi squatted down in front of him, massaged the muscles of his calf with special winks, and replied, "But this mountain is also It’s really too barren, I’m afraid there are too many traps, and the enchantment is not easy to break, making it difficult for ordinary people around, and it will be like this over time.”

He Yufan sighed.

Huan Chengzhi didn't need to say this, he could think of it himself.

Just looking down at the destination that was clearly far away on the sky mirror, he felt that his favor for Molan Pavilion had almost dropped to zero as his body became tired.

But I don't know if it's because the people of Mo Lan Pavilion also think that the organs all over the mountains and plains are too troublesome.

As the two of them went deeper and deeper, there were fewer and fewer barriers and organs in the mountain.

On the third day, Huan Chengzhi could also hug the person directly, and walked slowly and carefully.

And on the morning of the fourth day, the blue dot belonging to them on the map on the sky mirror in He Yufan's hand finally overlapped with the red dot belonging to Molan Pavilion.

It stands to reason that this means walking to the destination, but...

He Yufan frowned and looked around.

Let alone Molan Pavilion right now, why can't we even find a house!

"The location marked on it is indeed here. Is there any tricks around here, so that only smart people can see the house?"

He Yufan frowned and looked around carefully, making sure that there was indeed no sign of the existence of the Molan Pavilion nearby, so he lowered his head and looked at the sky mirror in his hand twice, and said impatiently: "Or do you think it's me? The mirror is out of date, so the direction you got out is fake?"

Huan Chengzhi looked at him circling in circles, dumbfounded.

Although he knew in his heart that this was because his Taoist couple was exhausted from walking all the way and throwing a temper tantrum, but with He Yufan's appearance, he couldn't help but chuckle a little.

Huan Chengzhi thought about it, and indeed he laughed.

As expected, when his Taoist partner saw the corners of his mouth raised, he really raised his eyebrows in displeasure.

Before He Yufan could speak, Huan Chengzhi took two steps forward, pawed at the grass next to the person's feet, then pointed to the round hole on the ground that one person could pass through, and said with a soft smile: "I know!" If I’m in a hurry, I’ll take a closer look, if I’m not wrong, the Mo Lan Pavilion might be at the bottom.”

He Yufan raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

He lowered his head and looked into the round hole with him, but he was a little puzzled and said: "Living in the deep mountains and old forests is enough to make people puzzled. Going down to such a hole. Seriously, I can't understand it." You will start to wonder if those people in Molan Pavilion are human beings."

"You say yes."

Huan Chengzhi smiled and said: "The place is right in front of us now, let's go down if you say so, if you are worried..."

In the middle of speaking, Huan Chengzhi suddenly stopped his voice, and when the smile on his face disappeared, his body also turned to the rear.

He Yufan didn't know why he reacted, but he just followed his line of sight to look over there, except for the lush vegetation, there was no one to be seen there.

Huan Chengzhi didn't explain anything, just stared there for a while, then said in a cold voice: "Since people have already found out, what's the point of you hiding? It's better to show your face if it's an enemy or a friend, otherwise you won't be able to escape." Don't blame me for starting first."

"But it's obvious that you are peeping at my door for no reason."

With the sound of a slightly immature boy, the grass in the direction Huan Chengzhi was looking at moved twice. A boy in white clothes about fifteen or sixteen years old stood up from the grass and walked slowly towards the two of them. come over.

The boy's appearance is not too stunning, compared to He Yufan's unforgettable beauty or Huan Chengzhi's handsomeness, his brows and eyes are more delicate and calm.

The three looked at each other.

The boy resolutely turned his gaze to He Yufan.After only looking up and down, he bowed his head and saluted, with a completely different attitude from when he was facing Huan Cheng, and said softly: "Hello, fellow daoist, I see that you two have stayed here for a long time, what's the matter?" Are you looking for me?"

He Yufan was noncommittal, thought for a second, and asked instead: "Dare to ask, are you from Mo Lan Pavilion?"

"Exactly." The young man nodded slightly: "I am the fourth generation master of Mo Lan Pavilion No.20, Mo Li."

He Yufan immediately burst into a smile when he heard the words, introduced himself and Huan Chengzhi together, and then said: "Actually, I don't know how to explain why I came here. You will find answers to some questions here. It seems a bit vague to say so, if you, Pavilion Master Mo..."

"What's the question? If I can give you the answer, just ask."

Before He Yufan could finish speaking, Mo Li interrupted what followed.

His expression was still as warm and cool as ever, the corners of his mouth were flat, and there was no sign of happiness or anger.

He Yufan was also a little dazed by what he said, he glanced at Huan Chengzhi hesitantly, and after the other party nodded, he took a deep breath and said, "That's right, I seem to have the ability to speak spiritually, or I feel that the way of heaven is very towards me. I want to know what's going on, sir, do you know the reason?"

Mo Li shook his head honestly: "I don't know."

He Yufan twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment.

He knew it would turn out like this.

However, what was different from what he imagined was that after Mo Li finished speaking, he paused again.

Just when He Yufan thought they could go back home, he added: "But if you want to go to the cabinet to find the answer, just come with me. My father once said that he can find the No. .1 is special. You are the first, and I don't hate your breath. So come if you want."

After Mo Li finished speaking, without giving them any time to think about anything, he stepped forward and jumped in from the small hole that Huan Chengzhi had just pulled out.

The remaining two looked at each other on the ground, Huan Chengzhi raised his eyebrows, and He Yufan touched his chin.After only a second of silence, the latter followed Mo Li's movements and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

However, without giving him a chance to jump off, Huan Chengzhi grabbed his clothes from behind.

He Yufan looked back puzzled.

Huan Chengzhi said: "I'll go down first, and you can follow when there's no problem."

This is a common practice for the two of them when they enter a new place, and He Yufan also knows that even if he thinks it's redundant, refusing it won't change anything.So he just nodded, and took a step back, letting Huan Chengzhi take the lead.

The hole didn't seem to be deep, and within a few breaths after Huan Chengzhi went down, he sent a voice transmission to him from the bottom of his heart, telling him that he could follow.

He Yufan was already curious, so naturally he wouldn't delay anything at this time.

Step forward and jump down.It was just as imagined, but in a short time, both feet were firmly planted on the ground.

It's just that when he raised his eyes and looked around, what he saw made him unable to help but widen his eyes——

It was completely different from the dark and damp burrow in the imagination, surrounded by flowers and green grass, lush trees, and a faint fragrance in the air. Listening carefully, it seemed that you could still smell the sound of birds and insects.

Huan Chengzhi was standing not far away and waiting for him.

After a while, the waiter almost came back to his senses, and then he said with a smile: "Now you understand why people live underground?"

He Yufan nodded, and while looking away, he also snorted, "You said this as if you weren't surprised at all."

Huan Chengzhi shrugged and remained silent.

Mo Li, who had already gone not far away, also turned his head to look in the direction of the two of them at this time, maintaining that calm and gentle tone, he said: "If you want to come here, don't delay, the courtyard is not much less than the outside .Follow closely, otherwise if something happens, you can't blame me."

These words are not polite, but for these two uninvited guests, it can be regarded as the utmost benevolence.

He Yufan thanked him and quickened his pace a few times.When he got to Mo Li's side, he grinned and said, "Mr. Mo, if you bring us here like this, don't you worry about what kind of villains we are?"

"If you let you go by yourself, it's just a waste of time, and it can't really stop you halfway, right?" Mo Li glanced at him, and said in his mouth: "You have encountered many institutions along the way. But you Not to mention the scars on the body, even the clothes are neat and clean, which means that those mechanisms have not worked. But even so, take a step back and say, you think that I will not be able to protect myself if I enter my Molan Pavilion Yet?"

He Yufan immediately shook his head: "I just talk too much, Mr. Mo please don't blame me."

"No problem." Mo Li said, "I said that I have a good impression of you, and I meant it seriously. So before you leave, just say something straight."

As he spoke, he tried to raise the corners of his mouth upwards, as if to increase his credibility.

Maybe it's because he hasn't smiled for a long time, his smile is too shallow, even his expression is a little stiff.But even so, coupled with Mo Li's face that was always neither sad nor happy, it made people inexplicably so indescribably moved.

He Yufan was stunned for a second, before his cheeks turned red, someone pulled his arm violently.

Looking back, Huan Chengzhi frowned unhappily beside him, complaining his dissatisfaction with his eyes.

The corner of He Yufan's mouth twitched.Seriously said: "Everyone has a love for beauty, this is a normal reaction of mine."

"You are much more beautiful than him." Huan Chengzhi said: "If you want to react normally in the future, you might as well look in the mirror yourself, then I will never object."

He Yufan opened his mouth to refute.

It's just that the words didn't come out, and Mo Li answered instead: "You are right, Mr. He, you are indeed beautiful."

He Yufan: "..."

After a moment of silence, he finally pressed his forehead, sighed and said, "I'll just take you guys as compliments on me."

Regarding his reaction, Huan Cheng had a face full of nonsense, and Mo Li just blinked in confusion, then turned around and led the way.

Not long after walking forward like this, the walkway under his feet, which was formed entirely by trampling, finally turned into a path paved with small bluestones.

The flowers and plants are flourishing on both sides of the path, and from time to time you can watch some birds and butterflies shuttle back and forth.

Mo Li said that it would be safe to walk on the path, so He Yufan looked around in peace.After walking like this for a while, and then raising my head forward, I can see several huts in a circle in front of me from a distance.

At the moment, only Mo Li lives in Mo Lan Pavilion, so it is not difficult to find a guest room for He Yufan and the other from among the dozen or so rooms.

Mo Li was also like what he said before, after the two of them stayed, as long as they asked him about something, he would know everything.

But the problem is that the two of them rested in this place for two days and searched for it for two days.But no matter what, they didn't find anything that could solve the mystery for them.

"I sometimes wonder, isn't that judge just talking to me for fun?"

In the early morning of the third day, Huan Chengzhi hadn't finished meditating since last night, but He Yufan sat on the grass in the yard after eating, looked up at the green leaves above his head, curled his mouth at the person who accompanied him Mo Li said: "Brother Mo, thank you these days. For such a strange request of mine, you have been traveling with me for two days. It is too much of your time."

"It's nothing." Mo Li shook his head.Passed the cup of flower wine poured out of his hand to He Yufan, drank another cup, and then said slowly: "My parents passed away, and I am the only one left in this Molan Pavilion. I am alone in a hundred years, He Yufan Brother being able to come will finally make me feel less lonely."

What he said was not sincere enough, on the contrary, it made He Yufan, who came here with a purpose, feel a little more embarrassed.

The two looked at each other, and He Yufan raised his hand to drink the sake in the cup.Seemingly unintentional, he said: "Speaking of which, we did some homework before we came here. I heard from people outside that Guige's puppetry was famous all over the world. If that's the case, Brother Mo probably wouldn't know it if he was accompanied by those puppets. Is it loneliness?"

As He Yufan spoke, he lowered his head and poured himself another glass.

However, the wine was not yet full, but there was a crisp sound of "clang" beside him.

Turning his head to look, Mo Li was looking at him with a shocked face at this moment, the wine glass in his hand knocked on the ground, and the sake drenched his trousers, but he stared at him unaware.After a long time, he shook his lips and asked, "Brother He, do you mean that you think those dead things have spirits?"

"Everything has a spirit." He Yufan leaned down to help him pick up the cup, and said with a smile, "Brother Mo, you don't know that I have a mirror here and I hate it every day, not to mention things like puppets that are in human form. There is a saying, if the maker has the heart, then even woodworking and stonework should have a soul, right?"

After the words fell, He Yufan also looked into Mo Li's eyes again.

The shock in the latter's eyes spread again.

After another half hour, there was a sudden pop, and he grinned with an expression that was about to cry.

There was a huge gap between his reaction and his usual indifferent attitude. Even if He Yufan knew that this topic poked people's hearts, he was still shocked by this reaction for an instant.

Fortunately, it was only a few breaths of effort, and Mo Li gradually calmed down his emotions.

The facial expression returned to calm, but the eagerness in the eyes did not disappear at all.He first apologized for his momentary gaffe before continuing: "Father said you are special, and I only had this feeling before, but I didn't believe it too much. Only now did I understand that he really It's true."

He Yufan pretended not to understand: "What do you mean?"

Mo Li shook his head: "I also believe that puppets have spirits. But my family has been passed down for so many generations, and everyone thinks that puppets are just puppets after all. Because no matter how strong their fighting ability is, or how far they can do it, as long as they loosen their grip If the spirit line is drawn, they will lose their movements. This kind of thing, after all, has nothing to do with spiritual intelligence."

"It can't be so absolute, can it?"

He Yufan stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder twice, comfortingly said: "There is always a difference in everything, isn't there? Human sword repair and sword casting have sword spirits. How can you deny that puppets have spirits?"

Mo Li was noncommittal.

It was just a little red around the eye sockets, staring blankly at He Yufan for a long time, he suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Brother He, do you want to see the puppet I made?"

"my pleasure."

One of the purposes of He Yufan's coming here is because of what the judge said, and the other is actually for puppets.

It's just that it's hard to say the latter reason. In the past two days, because of the former reason, I basically didn't bring up the topic here.

So now that Mo Li brought it up on his own initiative, it is naturally impossible for him to refuse anything.

After he responded, Mo Li also hurriedly stood up.Putting the wine glass in place casually, he took He Yufan and walked towards the one-story house on the farthest east side.

There is no difference between the room and the surrounding ones, and there is no dust or floating dust as expected when the wooden door is opened.

"Because I have believed that puppets have spirits since I was a child, so I have only made this one puppet since I was a child." Mo Li said, and introduced He Yufan in sideways, adding in his mouth: "If you do more I always feel sorry for him half-heartedly. Brother He, tell me, isn't my idea too ridiculous?"
