The next morning, Gao Xuanchen and Ji Qingze listlessly went out to look for food.

The foot of Lingwu Mountain is full of people who come to see the lively rivers and lakes, but on such occasions, the news is as if I have grown a pair of scud. If something happens in the morning, before the sun rises to the top, people within a few miles will know news.

As soon as the two sat down at the table, Gao Xuanchen was about to greet Xiao Er for something to eat, when he heard Xie Li's name from the guests who were chatting enthusiastically.

"Oh my god, Xie Li's secret that he's kept for so long is finally about to show up!"

Gao Xuanchen and Ji Qingze looked at each other, and quickly pricked up their ears to listen carefully.

"Hey, there are still two days left. Do you think that Xie Li has any secrets to tell? I guess... is the leader of the Demon Cult a little bitch?"

"Hey, what's the big deal about being a woman. Could it be that the Demon Cult colluded with some important person from our righteous path?"

"It's not uncommon for there to be collusion. Thinking about how the Demon Slaying War was fought more than ten years ago, how many people were bought by the Demon Cult and used as spies!"

Gao Xuanchen and Ji Qingze listened for a long time, and the people at the next table made many speculations about the secrets of the Demon Cult, some of them were completely nonsense, and some of them sounded like that.Most importantly, they said that at noon two days later, Xie Li would show up at the Lianwuping at the foot of Lingwu Mountain.

After leaving the restaurant, the two walked for a while in silence.Ji Qingze suddenly said: "Let's go back to the mountain and find Master Xie to understand."

Gao Xuanchen said: "Master Xie is probably not on the mountain."

Ji Qingze glanced at him in surprise: "Not on the mountain?"

Gao Xuanchen said: "Didn't the Broken Leaf Knife lead people to attack Lingwu Mountain a few days ago? They left without succeeding. I still know a little about the Fenghua Twelfth Floor. Once they make a move, they will never succeed Stop. It may sound a bit cruel. Ye Wuyu led a group of people to attack up the mountain. Those people did not die. He had no reason to take them away. I haven't heard any movement on the [-]th floor of Fenghua in the past few days , our Tianning Sect people didn't move much either. So I guess, the reason why Ye Wuyu stopped halfway that night may be that he found that Master Xie was not on the mountain. If the target is not there, he has no reason to fight to the death."

Ji Qingze was puzzled: "But I remember that day in Wangjiabao, Broken Leaf Knife showed up with someone, and he left halfway?"

"What happened that time, I don't know. I think it's because they received a special person that time, maybe it wasn't for killing anyone, or...they suddenly realized that the person they wanted to kill couldn't be killed."

Ji Qingze didn't quite understand what he was talking about.

Gao Xuanchen waved his hand and said, "Anyway, the rules of Fenghua Twelfth Floor have always been like this."

Ji Qingze didn't know Fenghua Twelfth Floor very well. Hearing what Gao Xuanchen said, he couldn't help but feel a little terrified when he thought of the behavior of those killers.But Ye Wuyu had helped him once again, so he felt complicated.

Before he had any contact with them, be it Tianning Sect or Fenghua Twelfth Floor, these people had only one image in his heart, and that was "evil".The wicked seem to have no heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, so there is no reason to live.But when he knew that these people were also living people with flesh and blood, he didn't understand those evil deeds, he just changed from anger to sorrow—why do people have to fight with each other, why do they have the same heart, liver, spleen and lungs? A living person with a kidney wants to do this kind of thing?Can't this world be changed?

Gao Xuanchen said: "There must be people from my Tianning Sect near Lingwu Mountain. I have been here for so many days, if they were willing to come to see me, they would have come a long time ago. Since they don't come, they just don't want to see me, the leader , I don’t want to explain to me what the so-called secret is. So we should find Master Xie, and it’s best to find him before anyone else!”

That being said, he was at a loss as to where Xie Li would be hiding.Not to mention the distance, there are thousands of households in the area around Lingwu Mountain, which is a hundred miles away.There have been a lot of people coming here recently.Xie Li changed his face and found a place to hide at random. Trying to find him without a clue is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Ji Qingze thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "Jiang Ruxing..."

Gao Xuanchen was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what he meant by suddenly mentioning Jiang Ruxing: "What's wrong with Ruxing?"

Ji Qingze said: "It's been several days, and she and Shen Feiqi haven't shown up until now. This is not right."

When he said this, Gao Xuanchen immediately understood what was wrong.Jiang Ruxing has always regarded Xie Li's affairs as the top priority. Now that Xie Li has made such a big commotion, Jiang Ruxing should have rushed over day and night non-stop, but she and Shen Feiqi haven't shown up yet, which is unusual.

Ji Qingze said: "Even if Master Xie hides, I don't think he is alone. Maybe Jiang Ruxing and Shen Feiqi are with him."

Gao Xuanchen nodded, thinking it made sense.

During the year when Xie Li suspended his death, Xie Li had been acting alone. At that time, he might not have had so many enemies, and the things he wanted to investigate had not been clearly verified, so it was more convenient to act alone.But now, he has already made such a big noise, if he is still alone, it would be a bit unreasonable-if he encounters any difficulties, no one can help him, not even a person to help inform, No one knew he was killed.So what is the purpose of his hard work for so long?

Gao Xuanchen said: "According to the distance, Ruxing and the others should have arrived a few days earlier. If they are with Master Xie, then if you find them, you can find Master Xie!"

When the four of them were together, there were some agreements.If everyone gets separated, leave a mark along the way to make it easier for your companions to find them.They also agreed on different signs, some of which represent critical situations and need their companions to rush to help immediately regardless of everything;

After having an idea, Gao Xuanchen and Ji Qingze left some guiding signs in the downtown area that only the four of them could understand, so that if Jiang Ruxing and Shen Feiqi saw the signs, they would come to them.

What they leave behind is a signal that the situation is critical.

Xie Li knew Gao Xuanchen's identity.If Jiang Ruxing and Shen Feiqi were really together with Xie Li, even if he saw the signal, Xie Li might not let the two of them come to them, so the more they understand the extent of the crisis, the more they can get their attention.And time is running out, they must find Xie Li before Ye Wuyu and the others, the situation is indeed critical.

After leaving the last mark at the entrance of the inn, Gao Xuanchen and Ji Qingze went back to rest.All they can do now is wait.

At night, the candles in every room were dimmed.

Gao Xuanchen turned off the light, went to bed and lay down beside Ji Qingze to rest.

Not long after, both of them heard rustling noises coming from outside.The door was pushed open a small crack, and a faint light came in.

Gao Xuanchen turned over and sat up, and said with a smile, "Come in."

However, the movement outside the door stopped for a moment, the light was extinguished, and the sound of hurried footsteps sounded, and the people outside ran away!

Shen Feiqi ran out of the inn and was about to turn a corner, when suddenly he felt a gust of wind blowing from behind, and someone pinned his shoulder.

He looked back, and it was Ji Qingze who was chasing him.Gao Xuanchen also ran out of the inn after him.

"Shen Feiqi, why are you running away!"

Shen Feiqi's talent was not high at first, during the five years in Tianxia Lunwutang, he was devoted to chasing girls and making swords, and his kung fu has always been the bottom among all the disciples.After this hit and face to face, he knew that he couldn't escape no matter what, so he could only sigh.

Originally, Gao Xuanchen and Ji Qingze were just guessing, but now seeing his reaction, they are fully sure - he really has been with Xie Li all along!And Xie Li once asked him not to come to them!

Gao Xuanchen looked around and saw that Shen Feiqi was the only one coming, Jiang Ruxing did not follow.Presumably Jiang Ruxing took Xie Li's words as an imperial decree and was unwilling to disobey them.But Shen Feiqi was soft-hearted after all, afraid that they might encounter some kind of trouble, so she came over to check on the situation.

He cut to the point: "Take us to find Master Xie."

Although Shen Feiqi is not good at martial arts, his brain is not stupid. When he realized that he had been fooled by Gao Xuanchen and Ji Qingze, he had already guessed their purpose.He sighed: "Brother Gao, although I have been with you for a short time, I know that you are not a bad person, or you are not the one who is bad. But this is absolutely impossible, even if you have no evil intentions, There are too many people in your Tianning Sect who are going to harm Master Xie! I can’t say anything to put Teacher Xie in danger."

While rejecting Gao Xuanchen gently, he gave Ji Qingze a reproachful look.He is not surprised that Gao Xuanchen, the leader of the Demon Cult, designed him, he just couldn't figure out why Ji Qingze would mess around with Gao Xuanchen.You must know that Ji Qingze was the person who disliked the Devil's Cult the most when he was discussing martial arts in the world.

Gao Xuanchen sighed: "The gardener... I must see Master Xie. With me here, no one can hurt him. Please trust me."

Shen Feiqi expected that Gao Xuanchen would not give up so easily, and continued to deal with him: "It's not that I don't believe you, I..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly froze for a moment, and then felt struck by lightning!

"What did you call me?!"

Gao Xuanchen repeated calmly: "The gardener."

Shen Feiqi's eyes widened in disbelief, those gazes almost burned a hole in Gao Xuanchen's face.He stared at Gao Xuanchen for a while, then looked at Ji Qingze, trying to find any flaws in Ji Qingze's face, but Ji Qingze nodded slightly, as if all this was taken for granted.

Shen Feiqi still couldn't believe what he heard.

As soon as he met Gao Xuanchen and Ji Qingze today, Gao Xuanchen changed his voice. It was the voice he used when he was Han Yucheng, and it was also his most natural voice.It's just that Shen Feiqi's heart was in a mess and he didn't pay attention.Until the very familiar word "gardener" came out of Gao Xuanchen's mouth.

Gao Xuanchen stretched his hand behind his ear, and took off the mask on his face.Behind the mask is his real face, which is also the face Shen Feiqi is familiar with.He was only thirteen or fourteen years old when he entered Tianxia Lunwutang. He had to spend five years with a group of half-grown teenagers day and night. If he showed his flaws and was discovered by others, it would be like a sheep entering a tiger's den, even if he really had such a city that he could not be discovered at all, he would probably be driven crazy by pretending day and night.So in those five years, everything was true.The face is real, the voice is real, the temperament is real, and the feelings with everyone are also real.

Now when he is alone with Ji Qingze, he will show his true face.But around Lingwu Mountain, there are acquaintances everywhere, and there are many people who know him. The reappearance of the dead "Han Yucheng" will inevitably cause riots, so he has kept his disguise.But now, he completely took off his disguise in front of Shen Feiqi.

Shen Feiqi didn't have any mental preparations at all, a big living person suddenly tore off his face in front of him, and he was already scared enough.And the leader of the Demon Cult turned out to be his old friend, and he has been dead for more than a year. He has personally touched the charred bones, cried at funerals, and knelt on the grave. It is rare for Shen Feiqi not to faint on the spot. up.

Gao Xuanchen said: "It's me." After finishing speaking, he quietly waited for Shen Feiqi to calm down.

He thought that Shen Feiqi would be scared and retreat, but he didn't expect that after being shocked for a long time, Shen Feiqi would not retreat but advance.

Shen Feiqi stared almost out of his sockets, and slowly took a step towards Gao Xuanchen: "Young...?"

"it's me."

"How... since when..."

"It's always been me."

Shen Feiqi moved over step by step, moved in front of him, carefully raised her hand, and touched his face.He wanted to see if he could tear something more from this face.But this is indeed a genuine human face.

Tears flickered in his eyes: "Han Yucheng? Are you missing?"

"Yes."

"You're not dead?"

"Yes."

"It's really you."

"Yes."

"What's your favorite food?"

"Barbecue."

"What's my favorite food?"

"Which cook is the most beautiful, you love to eat her cooking the most."

Shen Feiqi smiled slightly, but the tears rolled down his face.

"What's your favorite thing to do every night?"

"When the weather is not cold, I will take you to fish in the river together. After eating the food in the cafeteria, you will be hungry. Let's go to the river to catch fish together. I am the best at shooting arrows in the water. Seven fish were shot by eight arrows at a time. You also taught me how to fry fish with firecrackers, and you are the best. After touching the fish, we grilled the fish for supper. You and I bake two more fish every time , I will bring it to Ji Qingze, and you will bring it to Jiang Ruxing."

Before Shen Feiqi could ask another question, Gao Xuanchen took it on his own: "Every year at the end of the year, you always fail a few weapons classes. Everyone else is on vacation to play, and you are locked up in the yard to practice. I will change into your clothes , you are tired from practicing, I will come to practice for a while, the martial arts master came to patrol, and he left after looking at it from a distance, and was deceived. Then when it is Chinese New Year, you teach me to make all kinds of gadgets, you are skillful, and you can do everything Do it, you did it to make the girl happy, I did it to tease Xiao Duanfang."

"Jiang Ruxing said that your kung fu is too bad. I taught you a strange trick. I deliberately lost to you in the martial arts competition, and she chased you for several days. Qingze was awkward and ignored me. You acted with me, in front of him He yelled that I was mad at him, and he came to me that night to confess his mistake."

Speaking of this, the three people present couldn't help laughing.

"You said that if our group of people can continue to learn martial arts in the world, not for five years, but for a lifetime. Let me ask you, if I become a big bad person in the future, it will be worse than what you can imagine. You are the public enemy of all martial arts, what will you do then?"

At that time, Shen Feiqi thought that Gao Xuanchen was joking, and without thinking about it, he said vigorously, if you become the number one public enemy in martial arts, I will be the number two public enemy!You are a big villain, I am a little villain!However, Gao Xuanchen rarely asked him seriously, what would he do if there was such a day?Ask him to think about it.

Shen Feiqi took the initiative to continue: "I remember what I said. I'm not good at martial arts, and I don't have much power in my family, so I might not be able to help you deal with the enemy. But I'm not a kind person with the world in mind, no matter what you become in the future In this way, I will be your friend for the rest of my life. Even if everyone in this world is against you, I will still treat you as my friend. If there is such a day..." At this point, Shen Feiqi choked up and couldn't continue up.He paused for a long time, calmed down, and then continued in a trembling voice, "Come to me, I have a bowl of soup, half of which is indispensable for you."

When discussing martial arts in the world, even though Gao Xuanchen ran after Ji Qingze all day long, even if Shen Feiqi couldn't find his way when he saw Jiang Ruxing, even if they despised each other's aesthetics all day long, it didn't affect that they were always the best Good friend.Blessings are shared, difficulties are shared, bad things are done together, and blame is taken together.When you commit crimes, I will watch the wind, and when I am punished, you will share.

The friendship of youth is like the root of a big tree. Even if it has been buried in the soil and cannot be seen, it is the unshakable foundation of life.

Shen Feiqi was finally convinced that the person in front of him was his best friend.He wiped his eyes, walked forward, and pushed Gao Xuanchen hard: "You bastard! Do you know that I..."

Gao Xuanchen knew that Shen Feiqi must have many complaints.He didn't show up for a year, and when he came back he put on a pose in front of them incognito.If Shen Feiqi dared to treat him like this, if he didn't break Shen Feiqi's leg, he wouldn't be the leader of Tianning Sect!

But Shen Feiqi stopped before finishing a sentence.He shook his head, stretched out the fist that wanted to beat Gao Xuanchen, circled behind, and then hugged Gao Xuanchen tightly.

I don't want to say any more complaints: "Stop it, it's good that you're still alive!"
