blue wind

Gu Mo Ridge.

Cocklebur indifferently stepped across the thick layer of dead branches and fallen leaves on the mountain road, and countless slender and weird insects fled in panic from the bottom of his feet. Occasionally, one or two of them could fly, and they flapped their wings and flew away long before he arrived.The trees beside the road are very lush, but if you look carefully, you can see colorful poisonous spiders the size of fists lying safely in the gaps between the leaves, and fancy-looking long snakes swimming in the gaps in the branches. Those poisons are hidden in the light and shadow In the depths, everyone seems to be staring coldly at the person who walked by.

Xanthium is very familiar with this creepy feeling, and has even turned a blind eye to it.He knew that those Gu insects wanted to eat his flesh and blood, but he also knew that they would not pounce on him.

Because of those low-level poisons, they will never have the guts to challenge King Gu.

He did not know how long he walked in the silent mountains, and finally there were some people in front of him.At the door of the dilapidated wooden house, a man in black clothes who was tightly wrapped saw him, he was slightly taken aback, then quickly lowered his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Left protector."

Xanthium nodded lightly, passed the wooden house, and saw a person who had been tortured out of shape tied to a wooden stake standing in front of him, he was surprised for a moment, and couldn't help but look a few more times.

The man in black looked very winking, and hurriedly said: "That's the right protector, because he offended the Lord of the Mountain a few days ago..."

There was a faint doubt in the eyes of the cocklebur, and this doubt went further when the tied man raised his eyes and looked at him with extreme hatred.

Inexplicably, he remembered the strange poison he had been poisoned in Long Fog Valley.

There are not many people in Gu Mo Ridge, and he has always been used to walking alone. In the days before he went to Changwu Valley, no matter how he thought about it, he only dealt with the right protector who delivered things for the Ridge Lord. .

Moreover, when he came back from Long Fog Valley that time, he told Hua Yan about the whole thing—except for the recuperation in Tingfeng Pavilion—in full detail. Hua Night thought for a moment, waved his hand and said: "This I'll take care of it myself, you go down to recuperate first."

He kowtowed and said yes, then withdrew, and never asked about it again.

Now, he's seeing results.

Xanthium took a look at the human-shaped object with the eyes that wished to drink his blood and eat his flesh, then lost interest, lowered his eyes, and brushed past the stake indifferently.

The man's eyes widened when he saw this, and he seemed to hate him, but he could only make a "ho ho" sound from his throat, and in the end, he even spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.

The man in black looked at the blood in fear, and saw that there were two small insects protruding from it, and his heart was even colder. He immediately lowered his head and slipped away without a sound.

Cang'er didn't look sideways, walked past the stakes, walked straight across an empty field, and walked towards a building hidden in the forest with a clear goal.

It was originally an abandoned Taoist temple, but it was built in a grand style, and it fell into decline for some reason.Later, Hua Yan discovered this place, so he simply tore down the wall, replaced the plaque, and changed the hall dedicated to Sanqing into his residence.

As for cocklebur, I chose a room where the Taoist priests lived.

This time he tidied himself carefully at Langling's place, so he didn't need to go back to his room to wash up, so he went straight up the steps to meet Huayan first.

The main hall has undergone a transformation by Hua Yan, and it is no longer the majestic and majestic appearance of the past. Instead, it is gloomy and looks like a haunted mansion.The cocklebur had just stepped over the threshold when a spider with the mouth of a bowl as big as carved from white jade smashed down on its head, its huge fangs glowing coldly.

Fortunately, Xanthium was well prepared, dodged lightly, took a few steps forward, knelt down on one knee, and lowered his head: "My lord."

"Well—" the feminine male voice dragged out a long tone, with a laziness like just waking up, "My little bat is back."

There was a sound of clothes rubbing in the dim hall, and soon, a pair of big feet appeared in Cocklebur's line of sight, and stopped unhurriedly in front of his forehead.

Hua Yan looked down at Xan'er, the "dagger" he used best, raised his chin with the tip of his toe, and asked leisurely: "How about the mission?"

Xanthium followed his strength and raised his head, with a calm tone: "I will live up to the Lord's entrustment."

"Oh, well done." Seeing that he was indifferent, Hua Yan let go of him rather disinterestedly, and greeted, "Yu'er, you're back."

The white jade spider that had been motionless since Hua Yan made a sound suddenly seemed to come alive, its eight legs moved quickly, and crawled onto his shoulders, hooking Hua Yan's clothes that were hanging down to the ground.Hua Yan touched it, yawned, turned around and walked into the hall.

The place where the god statue was originally enshrined has now placed a jade couch made of imperial concubine.Hua Yan lay on it, couldn't help but yawned again, and said lazily: "Finally, is there anything else?"

Xan'er hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully, "I met Langling."

"Huh?" Hua Yan became a little interested, and raised his chin, "The master of the Tingfeng Pavilion...he has a good relationship with the second son of the Liu family. It's not surprising that you saw him at the Liu family banquet. He is very interested in your mission. Did it cause any harm?"

Xanthium whispered: "Never. It's just..."

"Just?" Hua Yan dragged out his tone.

Xanthi hesitated for a moment, then said, "He helped me."

A strange light flashed in Huayan's eyes.He said slowly: "No reason, why did he help you?"

"Because..." Xanthium just wanted to answer, but something suddenly flashed through his mind.He was stunned for a moment, but subconsciously replied: "This subordinate doesn't know."

Hua Yan smiled meaningfully: "Since that's the case, the next target, how about choosing him?"

However, Xanthium was only stunned for a moment, and then responded indifferently: "Yes."

Hua Yan stared at him for a long time, then turned his eyes away bored: "That's all, just kidding, it's not worth killing that difficult guy."

He rested his chin and thought for a moment, then said casually, "For another one, the young master of Jiuxing Palace, Lan Yi, will do."

Cocklebur replied calmly: "Yes."

"Don't worry, you can rest for a few more days." Hua Yan teased the white jade spider, and said slowly, "Although I didn't ask you to kill him, but ah, little bat, you have to remember..."

With a flick of his fingers, the white jade spider was thrown out, and fell flat on the ground: "Guys like Lang Ling are the best at coaxing people with sweet words, don't be fooled by him."

The cocklebur's drooping eyes said yes.

Hua Yan lay lazily on the imperial concubine's couch, and issued the order to evict the guests, "Okay, there is nothing else, let's go down."

Cocklebur responded, and just about to exit the hall, Hua Yan's voice suddenly sounded faintly: "By the way, what's wrong with your eyes...?"

Xan'er paused, and replied, "No problem at all."

"Really." Hua Yan whispered, and then asked again, "What did you see?"

Cocklebur just wanted to answer, but suddenly froze.

His first reaction was Lang Ling.

Maybe it was a long time, maybe it was just a moment, he whispered: "The banquet of the Liu family."

"Tsk, what's so interesting about that." Hua Yan curled his lips in disgust, and warned, "You don't have much time to see it, so you have to cherish it. It's a pity to waste it on missions."

Xanthium never disobeyed his master in this kind of matter, so he nodded lightly, and answered with an "en".

Hua Yan resumed his lazy tone: "It's good to know, let's go down."

Cocklebur took leave.As his footsteps faded away, the hall fell silent, only the "rustling" sound of insects and snakes crawling was still remembered.

In the darkness, there was a low sigh.

"You finally have your own secret, little bat. Is it related to that person..."

Xanthium didn't know the emotion.He returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the only bed, and was silently in a daze.

He himself didn't know what he was thinking, but at a certain moment, he suddenly felt a burning pain in his eyes, and his entire field of vision went dark, as if the night had ended and the stars and the moon were all hidden.

He took it for granted, groping to tear off the black cloth strip from his forehead, and skillfully blindfolded his eyes again, after a while, hesitantly touched his eyelids through the cloth.

A Gu worm that just woke up was sleeping there.

Speaking of this Gu worm, I don't know how Hua Yan bred it into a strange species, kept it in his eyes, wakes up three days a month, and sleeps the rest of the time.When it was awake, he could see; when it fell asleep, he would naturally lose sight.

Therefore, his light is only a short three days a month.

As for why he had to cover his eyes, it was because Hua Yan told him that the Gu worm was kept in his eyes, and he would hide his body when he woke up. If there are any traces, in order to prevent being beaten and killed by people as evil spirits, it is best to cover them up.In addition, when the Gu worm woke up, he always switched his left and right eyes, he didn't know which eye he was sleeping in in the end, so he simply covered both eyes.

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that he was deeply impressed by Lang Ling.

After all, for almost a day, he was looking at Lang Ling alone, from head to toe, carefully.

He thought of Lang Ling's appearance again.

The man had a pair of eyebrows that entered the temples and a pair of willow-leaf eyes. As the master of a pavilion, even though he was young, his eyebrows and eyes had already accumulated a lot of power. He looked extremely calm, even teasing him badly occasionally There was also a sense of bliss and calm on his face.

It's like teasing a domestic pet.

In this regard, cocklebur is undoubtedly sensitive.He could see the hypocrisy and impatience in Lang Ling's eyes at the Liu family banquet, and when he got in touch with Lang Ling in Tingfeng Pavilion, he even noticed the dark shadow hidden under the gentleness on the surface.Although he could also feel that Lang Ling seemed to have some complicated emotions towards him that he couldn't fathom, but this did not prevent him from realizing that he was just something that could be used and thrown away with Lang Ling.

He understood so rationally, and mercilessly suppressed that little flame in his heart.

Next time, wait for next time.

Cocklebur thought silently.

After seeing you next time, don't see you again.

Lest he end up with some feelings that he shouldn't have, and go to the point of no return.

Xanthium pulled out the bat tooth from the sleeve, put it on his leg, and slowly slid his fingertips across the mirror-like blade.The unique coldness of Hantie stung his fingertips. Even after keeping it in his sleeves for so long, this magic weapon was still as cold as eternal ice, without any warmth at all.

He thought of Hua Yan's casual words telling him to assassinate Lang Ling.

in case……

If there is such a day...

Xanth raised his finger and tapped the sharp blade lightly.Battooth let out a crisp hum.

Let's see the difference between life and death.
