Can the villain be coaxed today?

In the middle of the jungle in the middle of the night, suddenly there is a very light breeze passing by, piercing the leaves around the tree with extreme lightness, the dead leaves shake slightly, and when the wind passes, they float down leisurely.

The yellow leaf fluttered leisurely, halfway down, and a figure lightly appeared on the spot. He caught the fallen yellow leaf, glanced left and right, and landed on the big tree trunk next to him. He took out the carving knife hidden in the root A hexagonal pattern was engraved on the position, and he flew away.

Rather than saying "chasing", it is better to say "following".In order not to scare the snake, Shi Wantang pulled the distance very far, relying entirely on the little residual breath behind him, the master of lightness kungfu can open a large distance in a few seconds, and he can't be separated from Shen Yan for a moment. After about [-] minutes, he was about to chase the black shadow out of the forest.

The aura of spiritual power seemed to surge in front of him, and suddenly, the aura suddenly stopped, and the master slowed down, and gradually stopped at the edge of the forest.

Shi Bantang jumped on the branch and stopped at the same time, hesitated for a moment, concealed his inner breath, and approached cautiously.

He squatted on the top of the tree, the silhouette of the forest leaves just covered him tightly, looking out from the gap, he could see the black shadow put the disciple in his arms under the tree, took out the water bag from his arms and fed two mouthfuls of water, He took out another porcelain bottle, poured out two pills and stuffed it into the disciple's mouth.

Breathing became short of breath, and the disciple who had just shown signs of waking up passed out again.

The disciple was wrapped in a black robe, so he couldn't see clearly. He could only tell that it was a woman from the black hair hanging down her head.During the whole process of feeding the medicine, Soi Ying's movements were gentle, and even the movement of holding the back of the head seemed to be very precious. Shi Bantang frowned with one hand on his cheeks--the famous "ghost traveler", and the good character of pity and pity?

Before he could think clearly, the black shadow under the tree started to move again. He bent down and picked up his hostage, pointed his toes, and continued to swipe in the original direction. Shi Bantang noticed his hugging posture and was puzzled again. Once again—it’s not the way ordinary thieves carry or lift hostages, it’s a very gentle embracing gesture. When Shi Wantang even saw him jumping up, he subconsciously glanced at the hostage in his arms, as if to confirm whether she was there or not. was awakened.

Beyond the woods is an undulating valley with steep mountains on both sides. This kind of place is much easier to walk than the woods. There is almost no sound, and the speed can be reached to the extreme.

Shi Bantang had no choice but to resume the original way of following thousands of miles away. The silvery white moon hung high in the sky, shedding a cold white frost on the earth, black shadows flickered from time to time, and there were no trees. Covering, even from a long distance, he can still see each other's every move.

Suddenly, Shi Bantang saw the black shadow stop again.

He had to stop urgently, a little speechless, and wondered in his heart: "You stop a few more times, let's see if the Fuyao Sect can catch up with you?"

According to this efficiency, it is really strange that 'Ghost Walker' was not caught by Fuyao Sect in the past.

Bored, he hid himself in the bushes and carved a mark on the boulder beside him. The ghost king carved things just like he was writing and looking for things. He was always absent-minded and multi-tasking. Following the memory of writing two strokes on the boulder, I suddenly felt that the tip of the knife was stuck, as if it had been stuck in a small groove. I looked down at the moonlight, and my complexion suddenly changed slightly.

The "tiny groove" that stuck his treasured knife is also a mark, the mark is not old, it is not just engraved, but the marks have only been around five or six days, these are nothing, really let the master What surprised Ban Tang was the shape of this mark—it was clearly a complete hexagonal mark.

It may be too broad to use the six-sided mark to describe it. To be precise, this six-sided mark is exactly the same as the one carved by himself, and it is the unique symbol of the Kunlun Palace.Each sect has its own unique logo. Usually, the spirit sword medicines produced by the clothing houses will have such logos. One is to distinguish them, and the other is to represent a certain symbol. In addition, the hexagonal mark itself is not complicated. If it is just a random pattern, it is not certain that the person who carved this pattern must be someone from the Kunlun Palace, but normal people carve a mark in one place for the convenience of themselves or their companions. Looking for, generally speaking, he rarely chooses a pattern that is completely unfamiliar and has no unique symbolic meaning to him. Just like Shi Bantang, he will subconsciously choose the six-sided mark of the Kunlun Palace. First, because he was a Kunlun disciple, and second Even Shen Yan is also a Kunlun disciple, and this imprint has a very good identification effect on both him and Shen Yan.Therefore, the person who carved this mark must have some connection with Kunlun Palace, at least this mark is extremely important and irreplaceable to him.

But the question is... why did this person leave a mark in the same place as him?The valley was empty, and he could see the whole picture clearly by looking for a high place, and there was no possibility of getting lost. Moreover, he couldn't think of any other reason to appear here except for tracking.

Shi Wantang stared at the mark and let out a long breath.

He felt that the amount of information was a bit too much, so he suddenly told him that he had used up all his intelligence for today. He decided to stop here and let him think about the rest when he saw Shen Yan. Anyway, that guy's mind was full of twists and turns...

This idea just came up, and a low voice suddenly exploded in my ear, "Who?"

Although he was not afraid, Shi Wantang's hairs stood on end when he heard such a shout.

He thought that he had been discovered by the 'Ghost Walker', and the long whip had already taken shape, thinking that if he couldn't hide, he would just fight. The black shadow shouted again: "Come out!"

Shi Bantang knew it this time, and it wasn't his fault, because the direction was wrong. He was clearly in the bushes about 200 meters behind the shadow, but his voice was yelling towards the grass directly in front of him. He squatted motionlessly among the bushes, and there was a big tree with a crooked neck beside him, which was enough for him to take a peek while covering his figure.

The bushes didn't move, and Shi Bantang couldn't tell whether he was bluffing or if he really noticed something. It was too far away from him, and he couldn't hear breathing or other movements clearly. His spiritual power was like stagnant water, so he could only Along with the black shadow, he looked at the grass without blinking.

After a while, the grass was still as calm as an old dog, Shi Wantang wondered if he had heard "Ghost Walker" wrongly, after all, most cautious people have the problem of jitteriness. 'Ghost Walker' obviously didn't think so, he stared at it for a long time, and seeing that the person inside had no intention of showing up, he put the person in his arms behind him, raised his hand, and the simple spiritual power instantly condensed It formed a flame, jumped twice happily, and then followed the master's movements to burn the small piece of grass with all its teeth and claws.

Shi Wantang was sweating.

The moment the spiritual flame was released from his hands, the bushes moved suddenly, and a figure suddenly pushed aside the bushes and appeared in the sight of the two of them.Shi Bantang's angle was just right enough to see his clear face. The moment he saw this figure clearly, he instinctively lowered his head to look at the hexagonal mark on the stone.

No wonder this was engraved.

The person standing in front of 'Ghost Walker' was none other than Kunlun Palace's Junior Junior Brother, Xia Zhuqing.

Shi Bantang didn't have any impression of Xia Zhuqing, only remembered that he had a handsome appearance, bright eyes, always smiling, and there was an innocent and ignorant tone in his speech.

But the person in front of him...was a bit far from what he remembered.

The person who came out of the grass was dressed in black, and his face was illuminated by the moonlight. When he looked at the 'Ghost Walker', he was calm and indifferent. His face was still the same, but his temperament was inexplicably closer to Shen Yan's. Exactly the same wily and calculating temperament, but still a little immature.

The 'Ghost Walker' sword was drawn out of its sheath suddenly, and the runes engraved on the tip of the sword flowed with cold light, pointing coldly at him from a certain distance.Xia Zhuqing turned a blind eye to it, and just glanced at the disciple wrapped in black robe behind him calmly, frowned for some reason, hesitation flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at 'Ghost Walker' without changing his face Authentic: "Let him go."

His posture doesn't look like he's being picked out face to face by someone following him, but rather like a high-ranking master, ruthlessly giving orders. Shi Bantang squatted in the bushes, almost wanting to grab melon seeds, suspecting that he resembles Shen Yan just now. The old-fashioned temperament is all pretended, and the little kid has something wrong with his brain in all likelihood.

He changed his posture leisurely and sat cross-legged, intending to rest his tense spirit and watch a play to cleanse his soul. 'Ghost Walker' remained motionless, the tip of his sword still pointed at Xia Zhuqing indifferently, after a moment of confrontation, Xia Zhuqing finally frowned again, "You don't recognize me?"

Shi Wantang's smile suddenly faded while watching the play.

The arm of 'Ghost Walker' holding the sword stiffened unnaturally, and he slowly lowered the tip of the sword by three inches, still pointing at the opponent, "...why?"

This was the first sentence in Xia Zhuqing's answer.

Xia Zhuqing's gaze suddenly focused on his pupils which were half covered by the mask. This is a common way of looking at people with doubts. It is habitual to look at a person's eyes first. Don't hide, just look back.

Not knowing whether Xia Zhuqing believed it or not, he gradually withdrew his gaze, changed the topic, and said, "This is the order from that person."

He took out a palm-sized token from his sleeve. It was made of a special material, not like jade or stone, but rather like a domino made of animal bones.He handed the domino in front of 'Ghost Walker', and said without any haste: "See clearly, give me the person, and take me to the place where you hide people."

'Ghost Walker' was not only stiff in his arms this time, but his whole body was also stiff. He slowly lowered his saber, the tip of the sword was pointing to the soil, but his body didn't move at all. As if weighing the truth of his words.Xia Zhuqing didn't dodge or dodge, looking back indifferently, the eyes of the two met, an invisible seesaw unfolded between the two, the cut string seemed to be cut off in the next second.

"Impossible." Suddenly, 'Ghost Walker'

Answered a sentence, I don't know if he really knew it or pretended to know it, but after saying this, Xia Zhuqing's expression changed obviously, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer, "...he personally gave me an order, how about it?" Is there a fake?"

'Ghost Walker' didn't want to get entangled in this topic at all, the tip of his dangling sword suddenly raised, his shoulders stretched into a straight line, and he planned to strike Xia Zhuqing directly.The latter obviously didn't expect this kind of development, and hurriedly retreated half a step, waved his sword and summoned the saber, which was able to block the pressed sword's edge.

Shi Wantang: "..."

His mind has matured a bit, but his cultivation has not improved at all.

Xia Zhuqing's talent has always been weak, and even if he practiced for 80 years, he might not be able to achieve an epiphany compared to his peers. He is also very aware of this, so he doesn't put too much effort into it. On weekdays, his brothers protect him, and when he is tired, The consequences of Lai are not very obvious. During this period of time, he is away from the familiar personnel, and it is clearly displayed. Without the protection of his seniors, he can't even seek justice in the face of deception!

He gritted his teeth and swung away the approaching sword with all his might.But in the next moment, the sword wind swept towards his lower body, he couldn't dodge it in time, he was swept straight, and his body flew tens of meters like a kite with a broken string.

'Ghost Walker' approached instantly, and he raised his sword relentlessly.

At the very moment, Xia Zhuqing even thought about his last words, but there was a small prick, which cut through the air and struck at the back of 'Ghost Walker'.He opened his eyes wide in astonishment, and saw a familiar figure on the independent cliff peak, holding a crossbow and looking down at them condescendingly.

'Ghost Walker' knocked out the gun with his backhand, and looked at Shi Bantang for a second, confirming the look in his eyes, he was someone he couldn't beat.So he resolutely abandoned Xia Zhuqing, put away the sword, picked up the hostage and jumped a few times, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Shi Bantang put his fingers in his mouth, blew a loud and long whistle, flew towards him like a flower, his wings whipped up the wind, and he chased after him.

Xia Zhuqing got up from the ground tenaciously, he took a look at Shi Wantang, as if seeing his relatives, tears welled up in his eyes, the moment when he was brave and fearless and deceitful just now became the past in his memory, he wiped his hands Looking at the mud on the ground carefully, watching the expression of Master Bantang, "Senior Brother——"

"Stop." Shi Wantang interrupted him abruptly, "Change to another one."

Xia Zhuqing changed it obediently, "...His Royal Highness the Ghost King."

Shi Bantang crossed his arms and looked sideways at him coldly.

"You didn't stay in Kunlun, why did you come here so far? Chasing 'Ghost Walker' in the middle of the night, you think he is a little monster that you used to practice your hands before? Thinking about being a hero before his hair grows gone."

Xia Zhuqing bowed his head and twisted his fingers, like a kid at home who has been punished for doing something wrong, he retorted weakly: "No, I don't want to be a hero..."

"Then what are you doing? If I wasn't here today, you would be dead, understand?"

Xia Zhuqing hung her head and did not refute.

Shi Wantang suddenly remembered the sign he took out just now, and asked casually: "Do you know the origin of 'Ghost Walker'?"

Xia Zhuqing didn't raise his head, naturally he didn't know how casual his words were, and he thought that he was the type like Senior Brother Shen who knew everything from what he heard, and he answered everything like a bean without asking, "He is the elder of the Yaozu, and he doesn't know anything at all. There is no so-called enmity, but simply using Fuyao Sect as bait to pave the way for their subsequent plans. The domino I took out belongs to the current demon king Xuan Mingye, and it is an absolute symbol representing the demon king in the demon clan. In other words, as long as this domino appears, he should obey my orders."

"...I didn't expect him to play cards out of common sense, did you?" Shi Wantang answered, his eyes suddenly became strange, "Why do you know such details? Also, you...how did you get the demon king?" symbol of the

Xia Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, but said nothing.

Shi Wantang saw the words "hidden feelings" all over his body, and shook his head speechlessly, "Wait, your senior brother is here, you can't hide a word, find a safe place to wait, along the way Leave a mark, and we will go to you after we finish dealing with the matter here, let's go, goodbye."

Xia Zhuqing raised her head suddenly, seeing him flying away, she hurriedly called out, "Wait, Your Highness Ghost King, are you going to chase Ghost Walker?"

Shi Bantang's feet had already stepped on the rock, and he was floating in the air. When he turned around, he looked at him inexplicably.

Xia Zhuqing picked up a dry branch, and quickly drew a few horizontal lines on the ground, "Before I came to camp, I made a relatively comprehensive analysis of his previous escape routes. Starting from the Fuyao Sect, he walked through these three routes in total. , the current valley is the second of them. I made a prediction and extended the three known routes, and got two intersections, which should be the place where he is more likely to hide. One is in Shiyan Forest in the north. , where there are many rocks and caves, it is very easy to hide people, and the rocks have a special function of isolating odors, so it is difficult to find; the other is farther away, at the edge of the forest, where it is close to the forest, birds and animals dare not approach , except for the Yaozu, no one can easily go in, and they also have a natural protective layer. Your Highness, the Yaozu is cunning. He finds you are following, and he may lead you around or lay an ambush on you. You must be careful. If you are really lost, you can go to these two places I speculate, usually there is more than one monster clan in the den, even if you find it, don't approach it, wait for reinforcements..."

"Why are you more verbose than your senior brother?" Shi Bantang heard him chattering and interrupted unbearably.

"Okay, I get it, let's go."

He jumped up and touched the rock wall with his toes, and Xia Zhuqing could be heard shouting from behind: "Your Highness, be careful—"
