There was no surprise on Lin Zhaoyue's face, and he slowly straightened up.

"I've heard for a long time that the owner of Tianji Tower is Gu Chengzhu, and Tianjilou seems to be particularly interested in the news of the ghost sword. It turns out that Gu Chengzhu really wants it. Zhaoyue is still thinking, if the city owner, why not ask me directly?"

Lin Zhaoyue looked calm, and smoothed the fox fur on his shoulders: "I didn't expect the city lord to come, and Zhaoyue couldn't understand what I asked. The one that can kill Zhong Qing... the real ghost sword? Could it be the one that the city lord is looking for? Zhong Qing was killed by a ghost sword? Chen did have a ghost sword in his hand, but that was more than three years ago, and the ghost sword was in his hands, but it was only a flash in the pan."

"Three years ago?" Gu Jinxiao walked out of the shadow of the hall step by step, "Explain clearly, how did you lose the sword?"

Lin Zhaoyue nodded noblely: "Yes. When Ah Chen was 14 years old, he became famous in one fell swoop because he defeated the ghost sword who came to challenge him. Afterwards, many people came to challenge the villa. The ghost sword is too domineering and too lethal. It's big, and it's hard to stop the bleeding even at a small wound. Besides, it's too irritating to the person holding the sword. Ah Chen's heart is simple, and occasionally he is extreme, and the sword will amplify his hostility. My father put it away Ghost Sword, gave him an imitation."

"Later, that imitation product has been with Ah Chen. During those three years, Zhaoyue has been recuperating, and the affairs of the villa are all managed by my father. Hearing the news from Tingfeng Pavilion that the ghost sword was stolen, I thought of ordering someone to check it."

On Lin Zhaoyue's gentle and calm face, the eyebrows were slightly heavy: "It was only then that Zhaoyue knew that the sword had been stolen three years ago. There was a slight change in the management of the villa before, and no one else knew about it, but I The third brother is very clear about this. I invite him to come and talk to the owner face to face."

As we all know, Rong Chen's child's temperament is not as serious as that of ordinary people, so it is not difficult for him to lie, but it is not easy to lie to someone like Gu Mowen.

Seeing that Gu Mowen's brows were quiet, without any joy or anger, Lin Zhaoyue paused, and went outside the door, ordering the people outside to invite Master Rong Chen to come.

At the same time, Lin Zhaoyue motioned for tea, and sat down with Gu Mowen to wait.

During this process, Lin Zhaoyue didn't say any unnecessary greetings, her eyebrows drooped slightly, and she didn't even turn her head to look at Gu Mowen.

His attitude has been very clear from before, respectful and polite, and abiding by his status, but he also has a clear distinction between likes and hates.

Gu Jinxiao didn't care about his indifference, he didn't even realize that there was something wrong with this silence, he was more composed than Lin Zhaoyue.

Lin Zhaoyue was silent for a long time, his usually calm face was a little cold, after a long time, he was the first to break the silence.

"Although I don't know why City Lord Gu wants the ghost sword, but now that the ghost sword has appeared at Yumen Pass, is there any action in Baidi City?"

Gu Jinxiao said indifferently: "Since it belongs to Qilin Villa, Baidi City will not snatch it, but only needs to borrow a sword to use it, and then return it to Zhao."

Lin Zhaoyue lowered her eyes and smiled, and the tea cover gently pushed aside the tea foam on the water: "She is in the Changge Academy in Qiandao Lake, it is best not to let her come to the Yumen Pass this time."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Zhaoyue doesn't dare, it's just that anything related to the ghost sword is quite ominous. This sword is very evil. In fact, he didn't want to get it back. The masters of ghost swords in the past, except for Ah Chen, are all famous in the world. The swordsmen in this place all have mysterious origins, like a flash in the pan that amazed the world, and then heard the news that they fell silently. The sword of Qilin Villa came inexplicably, and it disappeared quite strangely."

There was no trace of emotion on Lin Zhaoyue's face: "I just have good intentions, and it's up to City Lord Gu to listen or not. After all, I am not hers, but City Lord Gu can make her do anything for you willingly. I don't know if City Lord Gu treats her the same way."

Gu Jinxiao ignored him.

After the silence, the air became even more suffocating and oppressive, until Rong Chen finally jumped in and flew in.

His childish voice was heard from a distance: "Second brother, second brother, are you looking for me? Hey, sister Xiangzhi... well, no."

He rushed over excitedly, and soon realized that he had admitted the wrong person. He was very disappointed and straightforward: "Gu Mo asked why you came here by yourself without bringing your acquaintance sister. Are you looking for me to play? I don't have time recently. I'm going to Yumenguan .”

Rong Chen was followed by a snow-white deer, slowly walking in, as if he was going to lie down beside Rong Chen, but suddenly he stopped his hooves, and walked towards Gu Mowen with graceful steps.

Under Rong Chen's wide-eyed eyes and Lin Zhaoyue's doubts, he held onto Gu Mowen's leg and turned around reservedly, not leaving.

"Yo Yo." Mu Chun called softly.

Gu Mowen frowned slightly, thought for a while, found a fresh and tender alfalfa in the backpack, and handed it over.

Mu Chun leaned over, stared at him with wet eyes, thought for a while, and took away the alfalfa as if to save face.

Gu Mowen stroked its velvet forehead naturally, feeling its small horns.

"Wow, Mu Chun is not my sister, this is my sister's brother. You don't want to be rebellious just because you see a good-looking person."

But no matter how Rong Chen protested and was dissatisfied, Mu Chun just stood beside Gu Mowen, leaning slightly on his leg, chewing the alfalfa so reservedly.

Lin Zhaoyue was thoughtful: "Mu Chun seems to be very familiar with Gu Chengzhu?"

Gu Jinxiao touched Mu Chun's neck, and said softly: "When offering sacrifices to the mountain, it had five other brothers who were always by our side, so we are familiar with each other."

He naturally changed the subject, and said to Rong Chen: "Are you going to Yumen Pass, for the ghost sword?"

Rong Chen rubbed the back of his head and sighed: "Yes. We still have a lot of broken swords in our villa, so I don't know why I have to run to find that one. No, and there is no fun and cute Gun Gun. But the second brother said he would go, so I had no choice but to go."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lin Zhaoyue accusingly.

Lin Zhaoyue didn't respond, she lowered her head and drank tea.

Gu Jinxiao asked him: "What is that sword like? When did it disappear? Do you know who stole it?"

Rong Chen picked up two red bean cakes from the tea tray, ate them by himself, and naturally fed Mu Chun, and replied indifferently.

"It looks like the one on my waist. I don't know how it disappeared. I used to change it for fun, but when I couldn't find it, I asked my father. My father said that during that time, many people came to me to fight. He took the opportunity to steal it. But he kept quiet and told me not to tell it. He also said that he would find it back soon."

Gu Jinxiao was noncommittal: "Thank you. Then, I will take my leave."

"Oh? Let's go now." Rong Chen jumped up in shock, and kept walking backwards following Gu Jinxiao's footsteps, "Would you like to go to Yumen Pass with me to play, long time no see, I miss you."

"miss me?"

Rong Chen nodded, smiling innocently, showing his sharp white teeth: "You are my good friend."

Gu Jinxiao reached out and tapped his forehead lightly.

Rong Chen closed his eyes subconsciously, and when he opened them, he could no longer see the shadow of that person in all directions, only Mu Chun stayed where he was.

Lin Zhaoyue came out from inside, and said calmly in a cool voice, "Yumen Pass, Second Brother will go with you."

"Wow, that's great. The second brother has been busy with business these days, so we can relax this time when we go out to play."

"Relax?" Lin Zhaoyue's face was calm and emotionless, "It's even more dangerous there than the rivers and lakes."

"It's so dangerous, so don't go, I'll go and bring you the sword back."

Lin Zhaoyue seemed to smile: "The danger is not for me."

His smile had no warmth, making Rong Chen's eyes tinged with uneasiness and depression.

Lin Zhaoyue hasn't had a warm and soft smile for a long time.

And, "Last time about the eldest lady, the sword my second brother gave me..."

Lin Zhaoyue's eyes were slightly cold, she looked at Rong Chen quietly, and gently stroked the top of his head with her fingers: "Ah Chen, don't let me down."

Rong Chen rubbed his hand obediently, with a puzzled face on his face: "Ah Chen didn't lie, I'm telling the truth, the sword has really been missing for three years, it's just..."

"I know. That's fine." Lin Zhaoyue looked into his eyes, "If you want to listen to what Second Brother said, remember it?"

Rong Chen nodded.

He has many swords, which he plays with every day, and he knows them all well.Only on the day the eldest lady died, the sword that the second brother gave him was very strange and familiar.The sword was cool, and it became warm after drinking the young lady's blood.

The second brother said, shhh.

Hush means, never talk about it.This is their agreed password since childhood.

……

In the other world, the City of Reincarnation was in vain.

Gu Jinxiao walked in the newly built city. The structure of this place is very similar to that of Baidi City in the real world, like a mirror image upside down.

Shenlong, who was transformed into Beidou, said: [I disappeared three years ago. I saw that little monster Rong Chen doesn't seem to be lying.Lin Zhaoyue... There is no need for him to lie.It was indeed Lin Shuyi who was in charge of the villa at that time, and the disappearance of Ghost Sword must be related to him.But because of Lin Shuyi's untimely death, he became a living corpse again, and his soul was trapped in infinite obstacles, even if he was found, he would not remember it. 】

Gu Jinxiao's face was calm, and he said softly: "There's no need for him. Put aside all the fog, there are only two questions, and if you find the answer, everything can be solved."

[What two questions? 】

"Situ Zheng came to Qilin Villa to investigate the ghost sword, and suddenly disappeared in the villa. Why can't I find any trace of him in my spell?"

[I know this, the only one who can stop the alchemist from looking for it is the alchemist! 】

"Don't forget, we saw in the dream that when Situ Zheng came to Qilin Villa, Lin Shuyi had already turned into a living corpse in retreat. Lin Zhaoyue was the one who made the decision. That is to say, even if there are alchemists haunting, they can only be with him. Lin Zhaoyue is related."

[Wow, no, then why don't you expose him? 】

"It's no good to expose it too early. But it does prove that there is an invisible alchemist who hides Situ Zheng's tracks. It's just that we never know what his motive is."

[Okay, okay, what about the second question? 】

Gu Jinxiao stopped in her tracks, the corners of her lips were drawn slightly, and her phoenix eyes were deep: "No matter what confusing smoke, getting the ghost sword is like getting the key to solve the puzzle. All the answers will come out by themselves."

Shenlong became inexplicably excited: [Okay, okay, let's go to Yumen Pass quickly, with He Jiuqing here, he must be getting the sword soon.Hey, then what did you come here to inspect in vain? 】

Gu Jinxiao didn't speak, and walked forward, the Xuwei Mountain was in front of him.The most dangerous place among them looks like a volcano.

Why does Shenlong look so familiar? Isn't this where it often puts Gu Mowen's body?

……

The sky is as blue as blue, without smoke or cloud.In the golden desert, the gravel diffuses the sunlight.

The green grass is verdant and swaying gently.The camel bell and the setting sun in the west walked into the oasis Qinghe together.

The low-pitched horn blew, and suddenly there was a sound like a drum beating above the desert.

Countless people turned their heads in panic, and some people leaned their ears to the ground and shouted with bloodless faces: "They are coming, everyone run!"

On the horizon, a burst of dust, horses, or camels approached with arrogant laughter.

It's getting dark, how dangerous is the night in the desert, and where can we go?

"Hand over half of your belongings, and we won't kill people." The man who spoke half-baked Central Plains dialect led a group of people and quickly surrounded the caravan.

The original residents in the oasis lowered their heads and hurried back to their houses, few of them dared to look through the door.

Those merchants were impatient, but they could only bear with it. Those who are capable have already planned to inquire about the origin of this group of bandits, and then through the guards of Yumen Pass, they will recover their losses.

The only inn in the oasis was full of bandits celebrating, drinking heavily and laughing.

The merchants who were robbed stayed in the upstairs room, none of them dared to show their heads, only the shopkeepers were indifferently thinking about their calculations.

The night is getting dark, Yumen Pass in November is still very hot during the day, but it can freeze to death at night.

In such weather, no one dared to go out, even in the inn, they had to use charcoal fire to warm wine to keep warm.

The shopkeeper looked at it, these bandits will not leave tonight, it is better to close the door early and go to sleep.

The door curtain made of camel fur is thick and dense, blocking the cold wind and cold outside the door, and a string of old wind chimes is hung on it.

Whenever someone comes, the wind chime will ring.

At this moment, when there were no ghosts outside, the wind chime at the entrance of the inn rang.

The bustle and bustle stopped abruptly, and everyone looked towards the door.

A jade-like finger gently lifted the door curtain.

In the dim light, that hand is extremely beautiful, reminiscent of the legendary treasure inlaid on the jade gate.

The curtain was raised and lowered, and a person entered.

Everyone's brains went blank for a moment, they clearly saw her appearance, but at that moment, it was as if they were thirsty for three days and suddenly plunged into the spring water. At the moment of thirsty and drowning, they vaguely saw the mirage before death.

Dozens of people looked back at him intently, without blinking, and the surroundings were completely silent, as if the air had been frozen for a moment.

It would be uneasy for anyone in this environment.

That person was extremely calm, and his footsteps were never in the slightest disorder.

Even, those eyes that were as cold as the moon did not reflect everything around them.

With no dust in her eyes and no distracting thoughts in her mind, she went straight into the inn and sat down at an empty table.

Dressed in white and blue, it looks like the cold moon hanging high in the sky, reflected in Qingshui Bay in the heart of the oasis.

It's so beautiful, I forget to breathe.

His chest was oppressed for a long time, and soon he coughed in twos and threes, and the spilled wine accidentally choked into his lungs.

After slowing down, everyone was excited, and their blood trembled slightly.

There is only one word in my mind, sheep into the tiger's mouth! ! !
