Sunny Vientiane

On the second day, taking advantage of the weaker wind and snow, Jiang Tianyi went down the mountain to the Escort Bureau to spread the message for the Jianghu.Jiang Shuihan and Xin Yueming stayed in Jiang Qianqian's room to help Li Bai, but they didn't notice the movement in the small ancestral hall.Jiang Hu contacted Jiang Ping, but did not get any important clues. Even Jiang Ping was greatly surprised by the myriad phenomena in the martial arts legend at this time.

It's not that the five great aristocratic families don't know the existence of everything, but no one has seen it. Jiang Ping thought it was just a legend and didn't take it to heart. He didn't expect that it would spread all over the world in just a few days.

Yuan Qing helped to inquire around, and found that people were just talking about it, but they were saying that the people who got all kinds of things were rich and invincible, but no one gave a general idea.Jianghu thought about it, and guessed that this statement was made by some people who knew the truth, and the common people didn't know about it, so they started to get excited when they heard that the country was so rich.

Unexpectedly, when Yuan Qing brought back the exact news, the news had already shocked most of the martial arts, and everything in the world had completely become the object of people's gossip.

On the first spring after the new year, that is, on the night of Lichun a few days after the New Year's Eve, the Xin family was wiped out, and hundreds of people were trapped in the village.Except for Xin Yueming who stayed on the green hill and did not go back, and Xin Heqing who went out to Yanjing and has not returned, no one in the Xin family survived.

The origin of the whole thing is said to be caused by everything.Since the split of the Devil's Cult, it has been divided into several sects, large and small, among which the most famous ones are the Mowen Sect and the Hehuan Sect.It's not that these two sects are the most powerful, but that they are the most notorious in the martial arts world.I don't know when, Hehuanzong and Mo Wenzong began to think about the myriad phenomena. After searching for a long time, they finally found that the Xin family had the fragments of the myriad phenomena in their hands.

For Mo Wenzong and Hehuanzong, the Xin family naturally ignored them, but they didn't expect that they would suffer such a cruel price.

Jiang Hu who heard the news sat on the ground of the ancestral hall in a daze for a long time and did not get up. Jiang Tianyi hurried up the mountain to tell Jiang Hu the news, but he was already too tired to move.

Jiang Tianyi held back his heavy panting and the unspeakable sadness in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Master, it is said that Xin Heqing disappeared after entering Yanjiao, and no one has found his whereabouts yet."

Jiang Hu closed his eyes and said softly, "Don't tell your junior brother, just watch him these few days, let Yuan Qing and Xiaohan watch him when you go down the mountain."

Maybe God wanted to fight Jianghu, Jiang Tianyi went to Jiang Qianqian's house to look for Xin Yueming, but only saw Jiang Shuihan packing up medicinal materials in the house.It turned out that Li Bai's medicinal pot was broken, and he couldn't find a spare for a while, so Xin Yueming took him down the mountain to the town to buy it.

Jiang Tianyi's heart was beating wildly. The news of the Xin family's accident spread across most of the Central Plains overnight. Who knows if someone will tell Xin Yueming on purpose.Moreover, Xin Heqing mysteriously disappeared, and there were rumors that the universe might be in his hands, so Xin Yueming was likely to become the target of Hehuanzong and Mowenzong.

Jiang Shuihan saw Jiang Tianyi's strangeness, and felt that it was not a good thing, so he subconsciously pulled Jiang Tianyi who was about to leave and asked, "What's going on?"

Jiang Tianyi didn't have time to explain to Jiang Shuihan, so he simply said, "Xin's family was wiped out, Xin Heqing disappeared, Yueming might be in danger."

Before the words were finished, Jiang Shuihan pushed the door out, and disappeared after a few jumps, leaving only a lingering voice, "I will entrust you to take care of Qianqian!"

Although the beginning of spring has just passed, the weather in the Qingshan area is still cold.However, the town is quite lively. It was the first time for Li Bai to go down the mountain to visit Qingshan Town, and he was a little curious about everything he saw.Xin Yueming didn't have much in mind, she just wanted to go back to the mountain after shopping.Since the New Year's Eve, he has always had a strange and ignorant premonition in his heart, but it doesn't seem like a good thing, as if the sky is about to fall and he will be the first to hit him on the head.

How can it be?Xin Yueming herself was amused by this thought.He is not the tallest one, even if his innocence collapses, he is not the one who stands up to the sky.

It's just that I didn't expect that this ominous premonition could really come true.

The shop selling earthen pots is next to the gambling house. Xin Yueming often goes to the gambling house, and buys daily necessities from this shop when he goes down the mountain. The shopkeeper of this shop also knows Xin Yueming.As soon as Xin Yueming entered the shop, the vague premonition in his heart was about to jump out of his chest, nervous and frightened, he always felt that nothing good would happen.When the shopkeeper saw him enter the door, his expression was obviously stagnant, and his face was so serious that it was outrageous.

Along the way, Xin Yueming noticed strange eyes, most of which fell on him, both probing and curious, and even a little bit of pity.

Xin Yueming only thought it was his own illusion, and shook off the suspicion in his head. He tried his best to make his face look calm, and said in a calm tone, "Shopkeeper, do you have any earthen pots for boiling medicine?"

"Yes." The shopkeeper glanced at him, the heavy look in his eyes made him slightly startled, he stretched out his finger to the right, and said, "The earthen pots are all there, pick whatever you want." Even the shop assistants used this kind of look Looking at Xin Yueming, cold sweat broke out on his body, and there was a creepy smell in an instant.

Li Bai went to the right side to rummage through the cabinets without incident. Although he also noticed the probing eyes all around him along the way, it wasn't him who was surrounded by the sights, so he didn't take it to heart.

Xin Yueming felt uncomfortable seeing the eyes of the shopkeeper and the staff, and couldn't help asking, "Shopkeeper, why are you always looking at me like this?"

The shopkeeper obviously froze in place, with some hesitation on his face, he raised his eyes and glanced at Xin Yueming, then looked away at Li Bai on the other side, and asked cautiously, "Master Xin Er, don't you know?"

Holding the earthen jar he had chosen, Li Bai asked curiously, "Know what?" Also ask clearly.

"This." The shopkeeper's eyes wandered back and forth between Xin Yueming and Li Bai, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

The tension and uneasiness in Xin Yueming's heart became more and more serious because of this. He narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his chin to look at the shopkeeper, and said coldly, "Tell me, what's going on."

Maybe it was because his stern appearance was too scary, the shopkeeper quickly said, "I, I said. In the past few days, there have been news from the south that the Xin family has been wiped out."

Xin Yueming's first reaction was to laugh. How could it be possible that the Xin family was wiped out?

Even Li Bai didn't believe it, and said with a smile, "It's just a rumor, let's just joke."

Seeing that neither of them believed it, the shopkeeper quickly explained, "It's not hearsay, nor is it a joke. The news spread throughout the Jianghu. On the night of Lichun, Hehuanzong and Mo Wenzong jointly sent people to Xin's house to find the whereabouts of all things. However, when Xin Yuansheng resisted, he simply slaughtered hundreds of members of the Xin family in a fit of anger, and there was no sign of everything in the end. Leng Shuangtian, the patriarch of the Hehuan Sect, directly ordered people to burn the Xin family village. The fire, it is said It can be seen clearly from miles away.”

"Xin Yueming!"

Li Bai was in a hurry with the earthen pot in his arms.As soon as the boss finished speaking, Xin Yueming rushed out. The crowd was crowded and he drifted with the flow. Li Bai went out without even catching a shadow, and his back was covered in cold sweat immediately.

It's over, it's over.Li Bai hugged the earthen jar with a dazed expression. Hearing the situation, the Hehuan Sect would definitely not give up, but Xin Yueming was always on the green hills. Because of the face of the Happy Sect, the members of the Demon Sect would not do anything blatantly.But Xin Yueming rushed out just now, and she didn't know what she was going to do, but her head was definitely not clear. If someone from the Hehuan Sect found out, it would really be the end of it.

When he was so excited, he didn't even care about the earthen pot in his hand, he just put it on the counter and ran out, but how could he keep up with Xin Yueming, staying at a loss on the street full of people coming and going.While he was anxious, he put a hand on his shoulder and applied a little force, but this force seemed to give him a backbone and calm him down.

Turning around, he realized that it was Jiang Shuihan.Even though it was still cold winter, half of Jiang Shuihan's hair on his temples was already wet. He looked nervously at Li Bai's side, but he didn't see that familiar figure.

Before Jiang Shuihan could speak, Li Bai said quickly, "Xin Yueming just found out that the Xin family was destroyed, and I didn't see him when I went out."

As soon as he said this, Li Bai felt that the strength on his shoulders was a little heavier. He didn't have time to scold Jiang Shuihan for his heavy hands, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and chase him! In case he is found by people from Hehuan Sect or Mowen Sect, It's over!"

Jiang Shuihan came to his senses instantly, and hurriedly turned his head to look around, "Which side?"

Li Bai thought for a while, and said, "Yanjing, it must be in the direction of Yanjing! His brother went to Yanjing, and his first reaction must be to find his brother!"

Jiang Shuihan's eyes lit up, he didn't care what to say to Li Bai, he jumped up to the eaves and ran to the post station.Li Bai exhaled deeply, frowned and looked in the direction Jiang Shuihan left. The news just now was so shocking that he forgot many strange things for a while.

For example, it is only a few days before the beginning of spring, how could the news spread so fast, even the ordinary shopkeepers in Qingshan Town know the news.Even if the news is indeed spreading everywhere, why didn't Jiang Hu and Yuan Qing get the news in advance?He turned around and looked at the shop that had just stepped out of the gate, his eyes were as dark as ink, but the lines between his brows gradually faded away.

The shopkeeper was sitting in the room and sighing, but unexpectedly Li Bai turned back, went up to him and asked, "Master Xin Er really doesn't know?"

Li Bai looked indifferent, nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know either."

"Hey, in fact, we only found out about it." The shopkeeper showed a regretful expression, and the beard on his lips drooped sadly, without the excitement of the past, "Just overnight, it is said that the city was full of storms. It’s not an exaggeration, it’s said that Yanjing was alarmed.” As he spoke, he gave Li Bai a wink, but he didn’t dare to say the name directly.

Li Bai naturally knew who the shopkeeper was referring to. He was full of doubts, secretly pressed down, and asked deliberately, "Before that, didn't you know?"

"Who knows this." The shopkeeper shook his head, thinking about it, and became puzzled, "Yeah, didn't you say that they know everything about everything in the Jianghu? When Hehuanzong and Mowenzong fought, They should know, right?"

Seeing that he couldn't ask too many questions from the shopkeeper, Li Bo politely said goodbye, turned around and left.But it was not in the direction of returning to Qingshan, but in the direction of going to the Qingshan Escort.After traveling with his master for many years, he has seen much more than Jiang Tianyi, and he can think of ideas faster.I'm afraid that this time the Xin family was wiped out, not only Hehuanzong and Mo Wenzong intervened.

While walking, Li Bai's breathing was a little short, his face didn't change much, but his heart sank to the bottom, if he couldn't find Xin Yueming in time, it would definitely be a disaster for him this time.

Li Bai guessed right, Xin Yueming was indeed headed for Yanjing, rushed to the post station and rented a horse, he took a map and headed for Weizhou lightly, this is the only place to go to Yanjing.Most of this journey is on mountain roads. If the journey is fast, Xin Yueming can probably arrive in the afternoon of the next day.

The mountain road was winding and steep, and Xin Yueming would be caught by the side of the roadside branches several times if he didn't pay attention. At this time, he could no longer care about his face, and only wished that his horse could go faster, faster.No wonder he has been restless during this period of time, no wonder the elder brother didn't let him go home, the elder brother clearly knew something was going to happen at home!

Right now, the only way to know the specific situation is to find the elder brother first.Xin Yueming's forehead was covered with sweat, but he didn't bother to reach out to wipe it off. At this time, he couldn't distract himself from thinking about the reason. He couldn't even imagine what the situation of the Xin family was like, and he didn't want to think about it.

He just wants to know how his eldest brother is doing now.

The sky gradually dimmed, and the morning star lit up in the east, and the faint light could not illuminate the road under Xin Yueming's feet.Under normal circumstances, the horses would not be allowed to move forward rashly, but Xin Yueming didn't care, he had no reason to think, and only wanted to find Xin Heqing as soon as possible.Suddenly, as if sensing some danger, the white horse suddenly stopped, raised its front legs and neighed wildly, Xin Yueming didn't notice it for a moment, and was almost thrown to the ground.

Fortunately, this horse was considered the most intelligent horse in the station, and it stabilized its figure in time to protect the dizzy Xin Yueming.In the darkness, there was clearly a cold liquid dripping on the back of his hand, the faint moonlight illuminated a small area, and the chill from the wind blowing in front of him forced Xin Yueming to wake up suddenly, and stared intently ahead.

In the middle of the mountain road, there is a section of wooden pile blocking the road. If you don't look carefully at the road in the dark, you can't find it at all.

Xin Yueming regained consciousness and finally regained his senses. He quickly understood his situation, stabilized the white horse that was panting and whirling around, and said in a deep voice, "Who?"

His voice quickly drifted away in the cold wind, without even a lingering sound.Except for the cold wind, there was no other sound.Suddenly, rustling sounds gradually came from the woods, as if someone was walking through the woods. It sounded like there were about a dozen people, and they were getting closer and closer to Xin Yueming.

The white horse clearly sensed the danger, and was shuffling to retreat, but was stopped by Xin Yueming pulling the reins.It turned to look at Xin Yueming in doubt, and got a gentle comforting look and a gentle touch. The white horse finally gave up struggling, flicked its tail obediently, and stayed where it was.

With a snort, a person lit a torch not far in front of him. This action was like a signal, and torches lit up all around, illuminating the narrow mountain road as clearly as day.Xin Yueming squinted her eyes, getting used to the bright scene, and then looked at the leader in front of her.

The man was not tall, and he was dressed in white in the dark night. Even if there was a bright torch shining by his side, he couldn't help but think of some lonely ghost.He was too white, he had no vitality at all, and nothing could cover up the lifelessness on his body.Xin Yueming's heart tightened, remembering that when she was bored, she went down the mountain to listen to Mo Wenzong told by the storyteller in the teahouse.

This person is exactly the same as that described by White Crow, who is one of the left and right protectors next to Liu Fanyou, the suzerain of Mo Wenzong, according to the storyteller.

"You are Xin Yueming?"

His hoarse voice was very clear in the silence of the night, it was as horrible as scratching a coffin board, Xin Yueming felt as if his chest was being torn by him.

Before Xin Yueming could answer, another person broke the silence, "Do you still need to ask? It looks exactly like this portrait."

When another person spoke, Xin Yueming was startled. That person was standing on the branch above his head, and the light and thin branch, which was as thick as a baby's finger, did not move at all.Seeing Xin Yueming looking up at him, he smiled at Xin Yueming and shook the portrait in his hand.

"Look like?"

How could Xin Yueming bother to answer at this moment, his heart has long been cold, he can guess who this person is without asking him.There is only one person in Mo Wenzong who likes to wear Tsing Yi the most and loves to smile at others, the elder Qi Shu.He didn't expect that he would be able to alert the two big figures of Mo Wenzong to intercept him himself, he simply didn't know whether he should be flattered or not.

Xu Shi saw Xin Yueming's fear, Qi Shu put away the portrait with a smile, and said gently, "Master Xin Er, come with us."

"What do you want to do?"

"Catch you." White Crow said concisely.

"Don't scare the children." Qi Shu jumped off the branch and landed behind Xin Yueming, "Follow us obediently, you can save some energy."

Xin Yueming looked back at Qi Shu, got off his horse, "Okay, I'll go with you, but you can't do anything."

"Naturally." Qi Shu was very pleased with Xin Yueming's obedience, nodded and said, "This is a good boy."

As soon as the words fell, the torch in the hand of the person closest to Xin Yueming suddenly went out.

Writing a dissertation is definitely the most unbearable process before graduation, especially when you meet an unreliable instructor, that is a goddamn pit!
