Xin Wu said this to Xiu'er, but he was staring at Tong Shu. Tong Shu was inexplicably guilty under Xin Wu's stare, and quickly let go of Xiu'er's hand, pointing: "Mr. Xin wants to take you personally. "

Xiu'er was amazed by Xin Wu's appearance, but she was terribly afraid of Xin Wu. She hesitated for a long time, followed behind Xin Wu, and looked back at Tong Shu for help from time to time.

Tong Shu looked very amused, and said to Xiu'er: "You don't have to be afraid of him, he has a cold face and a warm heart. As long as he agrees to you, he will definitely protect you. You can follow him with confidence."

The night is dark and the wind is high, the stars are dim, and the weeds in front of us don't know where Hongqin is going. We can only trace it with some traces, but the road is too dark. It's getting harder.

Tong Shu's heart suddenly felt pity for the fragrance and jade, and he opened his mouth to ask Xin Wu if he had a lamp, but Xin Wu took out a lantern from the Qiankun bag like a prophet.

Tong Shu took the lamp, and couldn't help but smile, thinking: Xin Wu looks cruel, but he is meticulous and thoughtful, even with the lamp, the flame of this wind lamp is too small, the lamp is as dim as a bean, and can only be seen The soles of the feet were square, and it was obvious that Xin Wu had adjusted the fire on purpose, so as not to scare the snake away.

When the lamp was shining, he saw a smear of red on the skirt of Xin Wuqing's clothes. He said "Hey" and said, "Why are you still carrying this flower?"

Xiu'er also glanced curiously.

Xin Wu glanced at Tong Shu lightly, and stuffed the flowers into his skirt.

Continue on the road, patrolling the broken grass that has been trampled down, there are some bloodstains at intervals, and sometimes there are one or two pieces of clothes hanging on the dead branches, there are thin pieces of women's red gauze clothes, and there are also men's Xuanchu fabrics.

As she walked, there were more and more bloodstains on the ground, from drips at the beginning to puddles. Xiu'er's emotions, which she had managed to calm down with great difficulty, collapsed again, and her face was livid with fright.

Walking to a place, there was a brown rag hanging on a tree fork, with bloodstains on it. Tong Shu picked it up, and when he looked up, a magnified and distorted woman's face appeared in front of him.

It was a terrified face, the mouth could not be covered, the eyes were abnormally wide, and the pupils shrank sharply into a line, as if seeing something horrific and resisting the scene in front of him.

People are frightening, frightening to death, whoever suddenly sees such a face in front of his eyes will be frightened to death. If he didn't know that it was Xiu'er, Tong Shu would have already slapped him. He held back his heart beating , Steady his voice and said: "Did you think of something?"

"Girl...Girl, she..." Xiu'er covered her mouth, vomited violently, and vomited filth all over the floor. Girls usually like to clean, but she was so scared that she couldn't care about anything, and she sat on the ground with her legs limp. , twitching and hugging his shoulders.

Tong Shu called her a few times, and seeing that she didn't respond, he pinched a Qingxin Jue and stopped on Xiu'er's forehead.

Only then did Xiu'er's eyes find the focal length, followed Tong Shu's finger to turn around, her breathing stopped and became stable, and her pupils returned to normal size.

Tong Shu asked as gently as possible: "What did you see before, please tell me."

Xiu'er said: "I saw Miss, she... Miss, he tore... tore open my uncle's chest, and dug out my uncle's heart to eat."

Tong Shu was startled—this method was the same as the four murders on the night of the Girl's Day. He suddenly ate meat and gouged out his heart, and he was sure to be hit by the soul control spell.

The fat man asked Lu Guimen last time, are you coming back? Next, the other party will wait for him here.

Tong Shu raised his eyes and exchanged a glance with Xin Wu.

Although silent, Tong Shu still knew Xin Wu's explanation, nodded to Xin Wu and said, "You clear the way ahead, and I can handle the latter, don't worry."

When Xin Wu came in front of Xiu'er again, he probably wanted to make his tone less indifferent, and after thinking about it, he said, "With us here, don't be afraid."

At this moment, Xiu'er was trembling and was about to snuggle into Tong Shu's arms. Xin Wu's voice was cold. She shuddered and sat up straight away from Tong Shu, looking at Xin Wu carefully.

This is the first time she and Xin Wu looked at each other. When Xin Wu looked at him like this, and saw Xin Wu open his lips as if saying something to her, she felt a cool courage penetrated into her body, and those nervous and fearful blood rushed into her body. After miraculously cooling down, she replied nonchalantly: "Got it."

Only then did Xin Wu go out first.

Tong Shu clicked his tongue a few times, this Xin Wu relied on the handsome face of a woman with weak legs, and actually used the beauty trick on Xiu'er.

A sword repair!A sword cultivator who has entered the Tibetan Frontier Realm!To actually use such little tricks as a beauty trick and a peace of mind formula to appease the little girl——he really opened his eyes.

Holding back his smile, he picked up Deng and Xiu'er and followed Xin Wu's footsteps one after the other.

But after all, with the addition of Xiu'er, Tong Shu still couldn't keep up with Xin Wu.At a certain turn, Xin Wu's figure was suddenly submerged by the night and weeds. Tong Shu knew that Xin Wu would stop and wait for them, so he was not surprised, but Xiu'er, who had been limping all the time, ran a few steps and chased them out nervously. Shouted: "Mr. Xin?"

On the one hand, he was afraid that Xin Wu would die, but on the other hand, he was still worried about Xin Wu. The little girl's thoughts were really like twisting fingers. Tong Shu smiled, looked around, found Xin Wu's figure, and pointed to Xiu'er. Seeing Xin Wu's back, he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Tong Shu looked at Xin Wu's back, a young man with a weak crown, handsome appearance, a face like a crown jade, and a handsome and talented person, even if he smiled or didn't smile, it was hard not to make the girl's heart move.Tong Shu was stunned suddenly, thinking of what Xin Wu said about no one liking him and that his fiancée didn't seem to want to marry him, mixed with doubts and some inexplicable emotions in his heart, he paused.

When Xiu'er called him softly, he came back to his senses and walked forward with Xiu'er.

There are seven turns and eight bends all the way, passing through a miscellaneous forest, and a gravel road winds out in front of you.

Tong Shu let out a "huh" and said, "It actually leads here."

Xin Wu stopped and looked at him.

Tong Shu said: "One mile ahead, there is a wooden bridge. There is a restaurant in the past of the wooden bridge. The owner of the store is an old monk with some skills. He guards the feng shui in that area and receives monks who come and go. I have been here in the early years. The old man’s body is still very strong, and I have seen him come back with a freshly hunted wild boar in the morning. Calculated according to his age, if he has practiced properly, he will grow old and strong after these 50 years.”

Tong Shu pursed his lips, and continued: "The old man has good cooking skills, and the food made from mountain products is called incense, which can be smelled ten miles away."

"Will the girl be inside?" Xiu'er asked in a low voice.

"You have to ask Mr. Xin." Tong Shu said.

After hearing Tong Shu's words, Xiu'er glanced at Xin Wu quickly, not daring to ask.

Tong Shu laughed and said, "Mr. Xin searched the surrounding area. He brought us here. Your girl must be on this road."

"That girl still..." The corners of Xiu'er's mouth twitched, she didn't dare to ask about her life or death, she didn't dare to cry, but her tears fell like beads.

Tong Shu thought for a while and said, "If we can come here alive, she probably has a chance. As long as we don't see the dead body, there is hope."

Seeing the light in Tong Shu's eyes, and looking at Xin Wu's upright figure in front of her, Xiu'er inexplicably felt confident, and said softly, "I believe it."

After walking for a while, Tong Shu suddenly stopped and said, "Hey, that's not right. When you turned this bend before, you could see a bright yellow lantern on the other side of the bridge. Why can't you see the light?"

When he got closer, he saw a faint light flickering, and he said again: "It was blocked by a tree, that's right, it's been so many years, the small tree back then has grown into a big tree in the sky. But... this The number of lamps is also wrong, why is there only one light in the long string of lanterns?"

The lights flickered on and off, and the surroundings were gloomy and lifeless. Xin Wu looked at Tong Shu's feet, stepped back, and stopped beside Tong Shu.

Tong Shu didn't feel anything, but Xiu'er felt relieved when she felt Xin Wu was close.

Tong Shu said: "If there is a lamp, it means that there is someone. Maybe the old man has bad legs and feet, so he can't light the lamp on the high place. Let's go and have a look?"

Xin Wudao: "Okay."

Tong Shu has raised his vigilance. The road is full of fallen leaves. It doesn't look like old and new leaves that no one sweeps. It doesn't look like it is cleaned every day. Instead, there are piles of leaves on both sides of the road and scattered leaves in the middle of the road, as if someone Cleaning, but powerless, can only barely deal with it.

Tong Shu was already uneasy, but suddenly a gust of wind came, and the whimpering night wind carried the rustling sound of dead leaves, like the old groin of a dying person, which made people tremble.Tong Shu felt ominous and walked forward quickly.

The door was broken, and it creaked when it was pushed open. There was only one window in the wooden building with a big light shining through it, and there were people when there was a light. Tong Shu raised his voice and said, "Shop?"

There was no response inside, so Tong Shu waved the lamp around again.

After a long time, a black figure slowly swayed past the lighted window, and the sound of extremely slow and heavy footsteps came, the rhythm was not like that of two legs, it was very strange.

They waited patiently, for a long time, the footsteps finally turned out of the building door, the old door hinge turned, and a black shadow walked out.

The starlight was sparse and it was difficult to see. I saw the black figure hunched over and leaning on an old stick. When he approached, he saw an old man. His pupils were white and his expression was stiff. His throat could only make a muffled sound. , making a gesture of please with stiff hands.

Xiu'er was so frightened that she clenched the corner of Tong Shu's clothes, Tong Shu was also taken aback, took a breath, and recognized that this was the old cultivator from before, who had a rosy complexion when he was old and strong, and nothing happened in 50 years What, turned into this terrifying appearance that is indistinguishable from a ghost.

Tong Shu tentatively asked, "Old store?"

The old store still maintains the posture of inviting.

Tong Shu said, "Are you inviting us in?"

The old man turned around and walked slowly inside.

The other party put a long line to lead them here, and when they reached the door, there was no reason not to go in. Tong Shu and Xin Wu looked at each other and followed.

The old shopkeeper led them to an empty house, the dust is not heavy, it is not like no one has lived in it all year round, but there is no water or food.Tong Shu was startled: This shop has turned into such a dilapidated state, if anyone comes and goes here, who are they?

Tong Shu put the lamp he brought on the table, and the light pierced the eyes of the old shopkeeper. The old man turned his pupils to look at him, and Tong Shu's hair blew up suddenly—the eyes were only black pupils the size of sesame seeds, The rest of the face is white, and with the furrows and wrinkles, the whole face looks very hideous and terrifying.

If he had never seen the old man's kind smile before, Tong Shu would not have been surprised by this face. In his mind, he deduced the possible encounters of the old man. Not like that, he asked: "Old man, what happened to you?"

The old shopkeeper didn't know if he understood, and stared blankly at Tong Shu for a moment, then tremblingly took out a lamp from the cabinet, and lit it with trembling hands.This lamp was not much brighter than Tong Shu's lamp, but the old store insisted on letting them use this lamp, so Tong Shu had no choice but to turn off his lantern.

Only then did the old shopkeeper turn out with a murmur.

He didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but it was more palpitating than telling a hundred ghost stories. Naturally, Xin Wu and Tong Shu were not afraid, but they just scared Xiu'er.Xiu'er had already sat on the corner of the bed, wrapping herself in the quilt.

Tong Shu was about to go over to comfort her, but he just stood up. Xin Wu had already walked to the bedside, and condescendingly said to Xiu'er, "Don't be afraid, just sleep and you'll be fine."

That Xiu'er looked up at Xin Wu nonchalantly, her face softened, she covered the quilt obediently, but refused to close her eyes, and stopped talking for a long time.

Xin Wu thought for a while and added: "We will not abandon you."

After hearing this, Xiu'er's face relaxed, and at the same time, a red cloud appeared, and she obediently closed her eyes.After a day of ups and downs, she was exhausted both physically and mentally, and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

Only then did Tong Shu's face turn serious.He walked over and made a gesture. Xin Wu didn't object, and Tong Shu cast a sleeping spell on Xiu'er.

With this curse, even an earthquake wouldn't wake Xiu'er up.

Back at the table, Tong Shu looked at the lamp for a while, and said, "This old man is blind, deaf and dumb, he moves slowly, and he has no one to help him. It's hard to find supplies in the barren mountains, and he doesn't have any lamps and candles for himself. It must not take the trouble to go to the town to buy it, so the origin of this lamp is suspicious. When the lamp is lit, there is a strong scent of incense, which is a bit gaudy, and it is probably made of some cheap spices. I can't find out any sorcery after careful identification, and I can't tell anything strange for a while, have you ever seen it?"

Xin Wu shook his head, Tong Shu said that he reached out to pinch the wick, and Xin Wu was already one step ahead of him to turn off the light.

Once the lights went out, the room was dark again.Tong Shu always felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him. He looked around in the dark, but couldn't find anything strange. He was looking down at the ground when heavy footsteps came again!

The visitor pushed the door open without knocking. It was still an old shop.This time, he still didn't bring a light, and he didn't come alone. Behind him was a man holding a black box with his head down!

The old shopkeeper found that the lights in the house were off, so he came in and turned on the lights stubbornly.

The lights were dim, and the person behind the old store stood in the shadows, silent, with a very weak breath, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.She pressed her head, her long hair scattered on her shoulders, covering half of her face.

I couldn't see what it looked like, only a smear of blood at the corner of the mouth.

But these were enough to recognize the person, and Tong Shu was horrified - Hongqin!

The author has something to say: Our fifth brother also has a warm and masculine side.

The outline and character design of this article are written in the archives. The plot and characters are also logically rational after repeated deliberation. What kind of character someone should be is inseparable from his background, experience, status, position, etc. These can be modified very little.But in terms of writing, there is a lot of room for continuous improvement in writing and details. For example, when a certain aspect of a character is released, it actually has a great impact on the reader's perception, and the effect will be very different.In short, I hope to tell you a wonderful and different story, and remember a few people who are particularly difficult~

In fact, readers who have read a few of my books will find that from the first book in 2015 to the present, my subject matter has always been Xianxia, ​​and I like to write strong and powerful CPs with one cold and one hot.Attacks from Ziwei, Lou Yue, Hang Che to Jingjue are mostly cold and courageous beauty attacks; Shou Cong Qinghua's cynical, Gou Chen's hardworking, He Yan's sweet words and smiles are irrelevant Nowadays, most of Tong Shu, who stick to his original aspirations every day, have suffered a lot and are cheerful and strong, which can be summed up as a large category.Although I feel that every character in my works has its own characteristics and is different; but sometimes I worry that everyone thinks there is little difference.Happily, most readers can see the difference, and mention different qualities to associate with different characters.

After all, if people's personalities are divided according to whether they are cheerful or not, there are actually only three types of personalities: talk a lot, talk a lot, talk a little, and talk a little.It is basically impossible to jump out of these three categories, ahem.In short, I hope that every character can let everyone see the difference, different experiences, different spiritual characteristics, and different abilities.

If I will write another book, I will try different cp combinations.

Finally, thank you for your company.
