ten steps one kill

Why would I agree to you... A weak person like me has no great prospects in his life. He has to sell his body in order to get food. There is no difference between living and dead... But you are different from me. You are a knight in the rivers and lakes , you have done something that I can never do in my life, you are more powerful than a man and braver, I envy you so much, I like you so much..."

Jin'e spoke very slowly, and was interrupted by coughing several times in the middle. A puddle of pus and blood soon came out of her mouth, and she had to put in hard work every time she uttered a word.But she still continued: "Without my burden, you will be free in the future... You and Xiaoqian, both of you are more worthy than me, and you should both live better..."

Chi Lian seemed to be struck by lightning, and she froze in place, as if she had died once and woke up again, becoming a completely different person.

Jin'e didn't know the real her, didn't know her status, her martial arts were all obtained by using such despicable poisonous techniques, and gradually, she was eroded by the vicious poison that she manipulated, and she gradually couldn't believe it. Anyone becomes like a cold-blooded snake and scorpion, who only has room for herself in her heart... Jin'e never understood all of this, but simply yearned for everything about her, like a trickle on the barren beach, longing for the unreachable the sea.

Although it is a trickle, it is the only rain in her barren life.

She wanted to dominate Jin'e's life, but in the end, it was Jin'e who saved her soul again and again, as always, sincerely.

It turns out that there is such a selfless love in the world.

It turns out that such selfless love will also belong to her.

Chi Lian seemed to be lifted up by the fine waves, and finally felt the long-lost strength filling her whole body.At this very moment, under Jin'e's gaze, she was born again.

She carefully and solemnly took Jin'e's hand with her trembling fingertips just born in the world.

Her throat twitched, uttering the most appropriate words for the situation.

"You are not cowardly at all, you are the bravest person in the world who protected me and Xiaoqian."

Jin'e blinked, her tired eyelids twitched slightly, showing a dreamy look, and asked after a while: "Really?"

"Of course it's true," Chi Lian said impatiently, tightly gripping the other's finger, and pressing it against his own cheek, "I like you too, I like you the most in the world. Meeting you is the happiest thing in my life. "

Jin E was dumbfounded, and after a while, a smile finally appeared on the corner of her bloody mouth: "Really, I'm so happy."

Chi Lian also smiled, and she struggled to raise the corners of her mouth in grief, showing a happy face.At this moment, words are so pale, just a mouth is not enough to express her mood, she uses her eyes, fingers, shoulders... using every inch of skin on her body, trying her best to convey joy to the dying person in her arms.

Jin'e looked at her intoxicated, and after a while, said again: "Where is this place, it's so dark and cold..."

Chi Lian immediately leaned forward, tightened her arms, and carefully pulled Jin'e into her arms: "Don't be afraid, I'll accompany you, I'll warm you."

Jin'e curled up in her arms, her shoulders gradually relaxed, she leaned on her shoulders, and whispered: "You are so kind to me."

"Of course I want to treat you well," Chi Lian smiled amidst his sobs, "You are tired, go to sleep."

"But... I can't bear you."

"It's okay, I'll always be by your side. I'll take you to a good place, where it's warm and quiet, and no one will disturb us. We'll be there when you wake up tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Jin'e showed a confused look, "Is it that close...?"

"Yes," Chi Lian murmured close to the other party's ear, "As long as you are by my side, the ends of the earth are not far away,"

"Okay." Jin'e's voice became softer, her breathing became weaker, and her eyes slowly closed.

Chi Lian stepped back a little, supported her shoulders, and kissed her lips for the last time.

The pale and thin lips had no warmth, only the smell of blood still lingered on them, but Chi Lian kissed them forgetfully, as if tasting the sweetest rain in the world.

In this kiss, Jin'e's expression finally calmed down completely, the corners of her mouth curled up, as if she had fallen into a baby's swaddle, and her old face was revived with new life.

Afterwards, she didn't make a sound or move again, her body gradually became colder, her fingers became stiff, and the last trace of blood faded from her cheeks.

Before the trickle dried up, it failed to see the sea after all.

But her soul is clear and crystal-clear, melting in the moonlight, turning into countless particles, rising high into the sky, kneading into the clouds, drifting with the wind, crossing rivers, lakes and seas. One day, she will reach the ends of the earth and see the golden waves rippling in the sky, she will turn into a drop of water, jump down bravely, and plunge into the vast blue.

She fell asleep in a sweet dream and never woke up again.

The weak breathing stopped, replaced by unbearable silence.

Time still flows smoothly, and the turbulent battles in the world have not diminished in the slightest. A small life has passed away in a corner, and the weight is so insignificant that it is not even enough to shake the footsteps of the bloodthirsty to move on in the darkness.Only the sound of the wind became a little bit weaker, and the mournful howling whizzed around in my ears, as if mourning for the dead.

Chi Lian embraced the body of her beloved, and the skin in her arms became colder and colder, but she was still reluctant to let go. She wished she could stay here forever, and keep her warm voice and smile close at hand forever.

However, the reality did not allow her to do so. She heard Liu Qian's footsteps approaching from far to near, and there was obvious anxiety in her hurried steps.

"Someone is coming." He stopped in front of Chi Lian, "I'm afraid it's the pursuers of the Bloody Gang."

Chi Lian nodded and said: "We left too much blood just now, and we will be discovered sooner or later."

As she spoke, she gently lowered the body in her arms.

Liu Qian glanced down, quickly closed her eyes, and said, "Sister Jin'e..."

"She's gone." Chi Lian's tone was surprisingly calm.

Liu Qian bit her lip hard, then took a deep breath, and said, "We have to hurry up too, it will be troublesome if we are surrounded by them."

Chi Lian turned his eyes to the night, in the dark bamboo forest, there were many figures walking back and forth, apparently searching nearby.Even if her five senses were dulled by poisoning, she could still hear the enemy's movement clearly at this moment.The sound of footsteps approaching from all directions soon became one, and the search area became smaller and smaller, like a closed net.

The darkness in the dream has gone, but the long night in the world has just begun.

Chi Lian glanced at Jin'e's body one last time, then stood up, straightening her slender back.

Liu Qian stared blankly at the back of her narrow shoulders, but saw her turn around and said, "Let's go."

"what?"

"Xue Yuguan wants to use you to threaten Mr. Feng, so you can't be caught by him, you run away."

Still bewildered, Liu Qian asked, "What about you?"

Chi Lian sighed softly: "I shouldn't have lured you to Zhuyuan, I was too confused, the reason why you and Jin'e were in danger was all my fault, now that Jin'e is gone, I can no longer watch I'll let you die. I'll stay and deal with them."

"You...can you beat them?"

"If I didn't have you as a burden to make me mess up, of course I would have survived."

Her tone was very cold, Liu Qian suddenly showed sullen expression, but quickly suppressed her anger, and said instead: "You are lying to me again.

Chi Lian was once again speechless, she really hated this brat's quick-wittedness.

Liu Qian continued: "I just heard them say that you have been poisoned, if you fight now, I'm afraid you will be worse than me."

Chi Lian shook his head, and said: "Don't push yourself too hard, I have never been friends with you, and I am not Jin'e, I don't like dealing with little devils. I sold Liu Hongfeng to Xue Yuguan with my own hands. Just care about your own life."

Liu Qian was startled again, her tone lost the calmness before, and asked, "Where is Liu Hongfeng now?"

"How do I know?" Chi Lian replied impatiently.

Liu Qian still wanted to say something, but glanced at the bamboo forest again.The figure in the bamboo forest is getting closer and closer, and it will probably find the entrance of the cave soon.He frowned and hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Then I'm leaving, you take care of yourself."

After finishing speaking, he took out the dagger that had been hidden under his sleeve and threw it into Chi Lian's hand.

Chi Lian took it subconsciously, and when he saw the appearance of the dagger, he opened his eyes wide, showing a look of complete surprise.This dagger was actually the one that Jin'e gave Liu Qian, and it almost became the murder weapon for killing the two of them. After going around and changing hands several times, it finally returned to her palm.

She gathered her five fingers, and gently but firmly grasped the hilt of the sword, as if holding the cheek of her sweetheart in her hand.

Liu Qian threw down the sword, and then walked towards the bamboo forest at the entrance of the cave, Chi Lian grabbed his shoulder and said in a low voice: "Wait a minute, don't go outside, the outside is already surrounded , if you go out now, you will definitely not be able to escape their eyes."

Liu Qian showed surprise and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Chi Lian raised her hand and pointed in the opposite direction: "Go inside."

Liu Qian was even more surprised, as far as he could see, there was only a vast darkness, and it was impossible to see whether the opposite was a cliff or an abyss.

Chi Lian explained: "The wind at the entrance of this cave is very strong, which means it must be very deep inside. You go in, but remember the direction. Hold on, wait for Mr. Feng to rescue you."

"I don't need him to save me." The young boy raised his eyebrows and turned to go into the darkness.

"Liu Qian." Chi Lian called out behind him.

"Huh?" Liu Qian stopped walking.

Chi Lian's voice suddenly became very soft: "Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you again?"

Liu Qian turned around, with a suspicious look on her face, looked up at the woman in front of her, pouted after a while and said, "You are really weird, you go here and there for a while, do you want me to listen to you?"

Chi Lian was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Actually, I don't know either."

Liu Qian frowned when she heard this: "You are not as good as a child at such an age, are you really sister Jin'e's friend?"

When Chi Lian heard Jin'e's name, her eyes lit up, and she raised her mouth and said, "Of course, my bond with her is much deeper than yours."

Liu Qian was stunned for a moment, and quickly curled her lips and said, "I really don't like you if you are still competing with children at such an age."

"Hmph, each other." Chi Lian replied, "Go away, don't let me see you again."

The last malicious words failed to reach Liu Qian's ears, and the latter had already gone far away, disappearing into the darkness without looking back.

Chi Lian was relieved, looking at the direction he was going away, there seemed to be an echo in the vast darkness, clear and firm, like a silver needle falling in her heart.

She still hated this self-righteous brat, but hoped that he would be safe and live longer and happier than her.

It turns out that this is the feeling of giving alms to love.

Her heart was once closed, but now it finally opened to the world. Jin'e not only saved her life, but also saved her heart.Jin'e wants her to be free, but at this moment, she feels unprecedentedly free and high-spirited, even if she walks all over the world with her feet, she will not feel tired.

But she chose to stay.

She wants to stay here, pull out the roots of evil, and take back all the hatred of blood.

Finally, an impatient urging voice came from the rustling bamboo shadow: "Quick, there is a cave here, come in and look for it!"

The sound of messy footsteps poured in like a tide, and she waited until Xue Yuguan's face emerged from the darkness.

That crooked and ugly face was once her nightmare, but now it is the reward she dreams of.

In the darkness, the rock wall stands upright, as rugged as a knife edge. Under the years of sea breeze, the dried salt condenses on the stone surface, gradually turning into a layer of pale white skin, and the delicate salt particles shimmer slightly, forming a Unique view.

It is said that everything in the world has karma, karma tends to one place, and it does not stop day and night, accumulating less and more, even the invisible and intangible wind can deposit such strange traces.

The evil deeds accumulated over the years have also turned into an invisible karma, pushing Xue Yuguan into this strange cave, and pushing him to his eternal destiny.

His eyes were always good at patrolling in the dark, so he quickly found the traces hidden in the dark.

The traitor is pitiful.

Chi Lian only wore a thin shirt, revealing narrow shoulders and a dry flat chest, there is really no feminine charm at all.Her usual coat covered Jin'e's body, and Jin'e was lying on a corner of the rock wall, already turned into a cold corpse, her ashen face was equally unattractive.

"It was these two sluts who murdered Zhang Qian." Someone in the Bloody Clothes Gang cursed.

Zhang Qian was the man who strayed into the inner courtyard and was covered by Jin'e desperately.

"I killed the man," Chi Lian said coldly, "He asked for trouble, and he deserves to die. If he comes back to life, I will kill him again."

Everyone was enraged by her attitude, and they raised their arms and shouted: "Mr. Xue, let us teach her a lesson."

But Xue Yuguan raised a hand and shook it, signaling the gang behind him to silence.

His sense of smell is more sensitive than the old fox in the mountains, he only needs to take a look at Chi Lian, and he can already see that she is different from the past.The point of difference is Jin'e's death. Jin'e is the only person she cares about in this world. Once she loses this person, she will have no worries. For revenge in this battle, she will definitely fight to the death.

Xue Yuguan is not afraid of making enemies of good people, because good people in the world are often philanthropic and affectionate, and they are often burdened by love and trapped in their own cocoon.But Chi Lian is obviously not a good person, cutting off her concern also cut off her weakness.Enemies without weaknesses are the scariest.

He turned his head slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Did you see the kid next to Liu Hongfeng when you came here?"

The gang members behind shook their heads: "No."

"Okay, then go find someone first, Zhang Yong, you take two people with you."

The entourage whose name was called by him responded, calling the two subordinates to follow, then walked over Chi Lian's shoulder and went deep.

However, Zhang Yong had only taken a few steps when he felt a heat on his back knee, as if he had been scorched by a red-hot soldering iron suddenly. He yelled and knelt down, clutching his knee.

The other two were terrified, and immediately stopped in place, not daring to move forward.

"Who allows you bastards to pass?" Chi Lian sneered.

Zhang Yong turned his head, before the resentment in his eyes had time to cast out, he was taken away by a silver light approaching suddenly.

Chi Lian raised his wrist and threw the dagger in his hand. From such a short distance, it hit his forehead impartially, tearing apart his flesh and bones like a nail, and piercing into his skull.

Due to the influence of poisoning, Chi Lian's hands were not as strong as before, and the skull, which could easily penetrate through normally, blocked her sword at this moment.But this blow was not the end. Before everyone came back to their senses, she moved first, performed lightness kung fu, walked like flying, and came to Zhang Yong in a blink of an eye.Hold the hilt of the sword back with both hands, pull out a little bit, and insert it deeply forward again.The strength of the wrist is insufficient,

If one blow is not enough, make up for the second blow.The strength of the wrist is insufficient, so the body weight is pressed together.She struck out with the determination to risk her life, and Zhang Yong didn't even have time to curse, his head split open under the sword, and the white brain was mixed with bright red blood. on the clothes.When he fell, two eyeballs almost slipped out of the eye sockets, his head was like a cracked egg, and he was completely lost.

As cruel and ruthless as Xue Yuguan, seeing such a bloody scene from a few feet away, it is inevitable that he will be terrified.However, Chi Lian, a female class, showed no fear at all. She folded the elbow of her left hand, clamped the dagger with the inner fabric, wiped it quickly, and wiped off the blood on her face, and then lightly With a light flick, a cold silver light was thrown out, like a half moon in the sky.

There was also a crazy light in her eyes.His eyes swept across the enemy crowd, as if looking for the next target.The sword in her hand and the poison sac on her body turned into a cage for imprisoning demons, rustling in the darkness.

The devil's minions are about to emerge.

The two people following Zhang Yong were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they retreated step by step, hiding behind their companions.

Xue Yuguan said angrily: "Why are you hiding, you are just a woman, when did you become such useless trash!"

The two flinched one after another, and then went forward tremblingly.

For a while, they couldn't tell which one was more terrifying, their own leader or the mad woman opposite.

There are many people who have followed Xue Yuguan over the years, some are young, some are old, the time limit for joining the Blood Shirt Gang is early or late, some have been reused by the gang leader and become confidantes, and some are still waiter's minions, unknown to everyone.However, all members of the Xueyi gang, young and old, all agree on one thing, that is, the gang leader likes masculinity and hates women.

Some of Xue Yuguan's confidants knew the origin of his hatred.More than ten years ago, the Xue family was still a small sect in the Jianghu, and they still had the ambition to become famous. At that time, Xue Yuguan was still young. female,

However, the woman rejected his offer and entered into a marriage contract with Quan Huan's family.When Xue Yuguan heard the news, he was deeply humiliated, and turned the flattery and hospitality of the past few months into resentment overnight.He found a few vagrants who had nowhere to go, bought them with a lot of money, and ordered them to tie the woman to a wild house in the countryside, where they took turns to rape her, playing with her and humiliating her all night long, until the government came to look for her, and she was arrested without a fight.

The government brought several rogues to court and sent them to prison for several years. However, they received a large sum of money as reward, and they didn't feel that they were at a disadvantage. They even felt complacent and showed no intention of repentance.On the contrary, the poor woman was not only dirty, but also pregnant. Naturally, she lost the favor of officials, and couldn't hold her head up in her own family. The child hanged himself.

This success made Xue Yuguan understand a truth - in this chaotic world, it is much easier to bully the weak than to become the strong.

The hero's sword dances to the strong, but the villain only swings his sword at the weak.

Since then, there has been one less humble sect in the Jianghu, and one more notorious Bloody Gang.

Right now, Xue Yuguan suppressed his anger, and turned his gaze to Chi Lian again, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.

"You are the only woman in my income gang, but you tell me, how have I ever treated you badly?"

He had never treated Chi Lian badly, not only that, he even regarded her as a confidant and entrusted him with important positions. Her status in the gang was even higher than that of the dead sanqin master.This was the only time he broke the rules with a woman, and because of this, Chi Lian's betrayal became a knot in his heart that he couldn't get rid of.

However, Chi Lian just said coldly: "Following you is the most stupid thing I have ever done in my life. I would rather kill myself than be with you again."

Xue Yuguan narrowed his eyes, and finally stopped laughing, and replied in the same cold voice: "Then I will fulfill you, I failed to send you to Huangquan Road last time, this time I won't miss it again." Turning to the back, he ordered , "Kill this traitor."

The Bloody Gang surrounded the entrance of the cave and built a solid wall of flesh and blood to block the way of the betrayers.

These people's martial arts are not as strong as Chi Lian, but thanks to the large number of people, they are not afraid of a battle.Being outnumbered has been the principle of war since ancient times. Moreover, Chi Lian is poisoned at this moment, and her inner strength cannot exert [-]% of her usual strength. As long as all parties attack together, even if she has three heads and six arms, it will be difficult for her to escape the attack of this heaven and earth net.

Chi Lian did not hide.

Swords pierced her thin body from all directions, and in the narrow and dark cave, she seemed to be a living target.

Xue Yuguan showed surprise. Although he had a chance of winning, he did not expect to succeed in such an easy way. This always proud woman did not resist and let others slaughter her, which was beyond his expectation.

The bloody gang members were still in the fighting spirit, after they succeeded together, they were overjoyed, and they retracted their knives at the same time, the live target suddenly turned into a sieve, riddled with holes, bleeding profusely, and fell to the ground slumped.

Xue Yuguan couldn't help squinting his eyes, looking at the fallen figure in the pool of blood.There was nothing tragic or dignified about such a death, it looked like a bad joke.

But Chi Lian didn't look at Xue Yuguan, before she died, she cast her eyes vaguely into the distance, as if she was looking for the remote corners of the world.But as far as the eye can see, there are only icy rocks, which are shining because of the salt crystals hanging on them. Reflected in the increasingly blurred field of vision, there are endless changes, like a river of stars flowing, or like dancing on the sea before dawn. shimmering.

In the scorching light, there seemed to be a pair of gentle eyes staring at her, with rippling eyes and continuous wrinkles, beyond the wasted time and deep sins, they still stayed in Yingying Yishui, smiling and not changing.

She had sworn to make this man happy.

However, the vows of the mountain alliance did not have time to be fulfilled, and finally became empty talk.

But she knew this man had forgiven her.

As long as she is forgiven by this person, her heart will be emptied, her regrets will be dispelled, and even her hatred and anger will be subdued in her chest and become invisible. She, she can also turn a deaf ear.

At the last moment of her life, she thought that after all, she was just a selfish and despicable person, her heart was soaked in poison and had turned black, and she would never be able to possess Jin'e's clear and clean gentleness.

She fell down smiling.

She is different from Jin'e, her smile is not sweet and tolerant, but fierce and vicious, like a carefully wrapped farewell gift, handed to her enemies.

Xue Yuguan was the first to receive her gift.

The well-informed leader of the Bloody Clothes Gang suddenly turned pale with shock, showing an expression of unprecedented panic.He noticed the strangeness before anyone else—the blood gushing from Chi Lian's remnant body, besides the blood, also had an extremely unusual fragrance.

He quickly understood the origin of the strange fragrance—this woman, who had been skilled in manipulating poisonous Gu all her life, had even soaked her own body in poison.

It's a pity that he found out too late. Before he looked away, he saw the most bizarre scene he had ever seen in his life.Chi Lian's corpse shook violently like a puppet as if it was being pulled by an invisible string, and staggered off the ground.

Of course there is no hanging wire in the air, the secret lies in the poisonous sac she presses under her body!

Xue Yuguan once stole this poisonous sac from Chi Lian's hands, and touched it with his own hands. He thought it contained some poison-hardening sharp weapons at most. It's just rotten iron.He hadn't thought at all that there were not only dead things hidden in the poison sac, but also countless living things.

Of course, living things cannot hide in such a narrow space, but eggs before becoming living things can.

Countless insect eggs are crowded together into a ball, sealed into a small box that can never breathe, the small box is completely isolated from the outside world, time seems to be frozen into solid ice, and no longer flows.If a mayfly's life is a day and night, the time they sleep in the box is enough for thousands of reincarnations.

Before Chi Lian died, he finally unlocked the small box.

The fragrance dissolved in her blood became the inducement to wake up the eggs, and countless Gu moths woke up at the same time, scrambling to get rid of the bondage, and flapped their wings to fly.Each one has a delicate and graceful appearance, and the wings that have just broken out of the cocoon are still transparent. Under the infiltration of moonlight, they gradually transform into a crystal clear and pure milky white.

Countless beautiful wings lifted her remnant body from the ground and gently floated into the air.

Xue Yuguan couldn't hide his astonishment, and the members of the Bloody Clothes Gang were even more shocked. They surrounded the surroundings, their souls were taken away by these transparent little creatures, they stared blankly for a while, and fell silent.

They forget one most important thing - the more beautiful things are often the more dangerous.

Chi Lian's body floated into the air, as if someone had cut the hanging wire, suddenly lost its support in an instant, and fell heavily back to the ground with a muffled sound.

This fall shattered her body even more, her hair was loose, her limbs were twisted, her knees, elbows and wrists were broken, and she was twisted into a strange posture that ordinary people would never be able to pose.

The swarm of moths that had shaken off their burdens jumped up and down, and their countless white wings flapped together, turning into huge waves, rolling into the air in an instant, and then scattered into countless white chains, one after another, centered on Chi Lian's corpse, appearing like bones The pale color rushed in all directions, as if it were three heads and six arms extending from the remnant body.

What a frightening sight it was, the Bloody Clothes Gang was terrified when they heard the news, they dispersed in a hurry, and each drew their swords to deal with them, screaming again and again, and broke into an army.

"Calm down, everyone calm down!" Xue Yuguan's voice was so weak amidst the wailing.

"Burn it! Burn it!" Someone started a fire in a panic.

If he had carefully watched the battle in the arena today, he would never have made such a stupid cry.

The fire was dimly lit, and spread rapidly along the moth swarm, swelled, the heat wave was churning, and the flames danced brightly, setting up the second bridge leading to Huangquan Road.

Burned by the flames of the world, the creations of the gods withered in despair and rage, turning life-sustaining sap into death-inducing poison.The strange fragrance rising from the flame intensified and spread, and was a hundred times stronger than before, filling the narrow hole, making it almost impossible to breathe.

The strange fragrance was swept into the depths of the cave by the wind, awakening more bloodthirsty creatures, scrambling to emerge from the darkness.

bat.

The body of a bat is much larger than that of a Gu moth, and its face is also much more ferocious. The sparse fur cannot cover the body, rough scales are exposed on the taupe skin, the eyes are closed very small, but the mouth is wide open. The instrument is as sharp as the tip of a knife, and it only takes a moment to pierce the flesh of a person.Drink human blood.

No one knows how deep this cave is. Bats cover the sky and the sun, covering the blood-clothed gang in blackness. Some people try to turn around and escape, but they are caught up by flying wings before reaching the entrance of the cave, and their backs and shoulders are counted countless His fangs were pierced, and before he could draw his sword, he fell to the ground amidst screams.

The fallen people fell faster than the standing ones, and the bats swarmed and squirmed back and forth on their bodies, like tarsal maggots, hideous and ugly.

These villains who once sucked the blood of countless weak people were finally sucked dry by the bloodthirsty creatures, turning into haggard corpses.

The flames gradually extinguished, and the shrill screams gradually died down.

Those who died didn't even know that this formation of Gu moths originated in the southern border, and it had a daunting name - "Mu Mie Sheng".

The Gu moth is awakened by human flesh and blood as a sacrifice, and then the Gu moth offers its eternal life to jointly cast a corpse, which then attracts all the bloodthirsty insects, ants, birds and beasts in the world.

Everything in the world is connected by cause and effect, forming a long chain that tightly binds the cage of the secular world, preventing ordinary people in it from escaping and ascending to heaven.

The swarm of bats drank enough blood and finally dispersed.

Under the moonlight, the entrance of the cave in the wilderness bamboo forest returned to silence, as quiet as a tomb.

In the dead silence, there was a shadow that squirmed slightly.

This person's nose and eyes are even more crooked than before, most of the originally thick temple hair has been taken off, and his face is even uglier than before.

The man's voice has also become hoarse, and the cold and smooth voice in the past has become rougher than sand and stone.

However, he actually supported the ground with a pair of residual palms, and stood up unsteadily.

Standing in the moonlight, he has already become a devil.

A real devil who couldn't even close his grave.

There was a sound of horse neighing outside the bamboo courtyard.

Duan Changya reined in his horse by the door, subconsciously going to help the man on the horse, but Liu Hongfeng took the first step, stepping on the stirrup and jumping down, as if deliberately avoiding the other party's help.

It's a pity that a simple action is a test for Liu Hongfeng at this moment.Duan Changya watched from the side, saw him grinning in pain when he landed, he couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Why do you ask for trouble?"

Liu Hongfeng was gnashing her teeth, and the corners of her mouth could not help twitching when she heard such inappropriate sarcastic remarks: "The criticism is justified, and Young Master Duan laughed."

He should have understood earlier that this young master Duan's mouth has always been unforgiving, he can say whatever comes to his mind, he goes straight to the point, he never knows the way of observing words and expressions, let alone expressing his feelings.

He no longer looked at Duan Changya's face, so he also missed the hesitant expression on the other's face.He turned around and quickly walked towards the courtyard gate.

Duan Changya immediately followed his footsteps, walking at the same pace within a short distance, the distance was not so close that he felt uncomfortable, but he would never let him stay away from the range of a sword, so that he could stay close at all times. Can help each other.

But Duan Changya had no chance to make a move, because there was no one in the bamboo courtyard, shrouded in the silence of nightfall.

Liu Hongfeng searched around, scanned the stone tablet by the gate of the courtyard, and saw a few thick and flying inscriptions of "nine heavens are righteous, looking at the four poles, and the flow of ten thousand phases", he couldn't help showing surprise: "This courtyard is a section of land. The boundaries of the home?"

"Yes," Duan Changya was also puzzled, "it's the place where the disciples of Tianji Sect clean up, but no one has lived there recently."

Liu Hongfeng frowned and said, "Since it's the place where Tianjimen is purely cultivated, why is it being used by Chi Lian, and why is it specially written in the note?"

Duan Changya just shook his head: "I can't guess that, maybe it was found and occupied by accident, maybe there are other reasons, I'm afraid I can only find her person first, and then ask why."

It's a pity that her people were not in the courtyard, and even Liu Qian disappeared along with her.

Liu Hongfeng became more and more confused. Ever since he got close to the secret that the Duan family had kept for ten years, he was in a dangerous game. He didn't believe in chance, and he didn't dare to believe it. With the situation at home, his doubts deepened.

——If Chi Lian kidnapped Liu Qian at the behest of the Duan family, could it be that Duan Qichang has already noticed his actions?

In his agitation, he inevitably pursed his lips and eyebrows tightly, showing a somewhat hesitant and anxious expression, which was seen by the people who were close to him, who suddenly asked, "Are you worried about the plot to kidnap Liu Qian?" Is it related to Tianjimen?"

Liu Hongfeng was startled for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said, "How could it be, a well-known martial arts family, there is no need to embarrass a child."

Duan Changya nodded and said: "Yes, as long as I stay at Tianji Gate, I will never allow such a despicable act to happen, and I will definitely protect Liu Qian's safety."

With bright eyes and a frank and resolute expression, it definitely doesn't look like she's lying.

Liu Hongfeng couldn't help but look sideways—does this person really not remember his abnormal condition at all, or the heinous crime he has borne?

"Hongfeng!" When his name was called again, his tone was a little anxious, even a little harsh, which brought him back to his senses in an instant.

He replied: "The most urgent thing is to find Liu Qian first."

Duan Changya nodded in agreement, and said again: "Go further, there is still an inner courtyard, let's go in and look for it." After speaking, he approached Liu Hongfeng, and continued to guard the other party at an appropriate distance.

Such introverted and determined concerns made Liu Hongfeng confused several times, so he could only bury his head and speed up his pace.

The corpses in the inner courtyard were left unattended, lying beside the bamboo forest, they were very eye-catching.

"I'll go and have a look." Duan Changya made a gesture, stopped Liu Hongfeng in place, walked forward, squatted down beside the corpse, and looked at the deceased's appearance carefully, "I have the impression that this face is from the Bloody Gang. .”

Hearing the words "Blood Clothes Gang", Liu Hongfeng was startled again. He had just escaped the cruel torture of this group of people, but he wanted to jump back into the fire pit.

But as if to fight against the fear, he purposely moved to the side of the deceased, lying closer than Duan Changya, to check the condition of the corpse.

"It was a knife wound that caused death. It didn't take long before it fell. The knife was his own saber. Maybe he planned to do it himself, but he was resisted..."

But Duan Changya pondered and said: "Look at his neck and arms, there are many scratch marks from close combat, and the technique is immature. Compared with the fatal knife wound, it doesn't look like a knife wound."
