Long Lanyi's voice came next: "Then I have to thank Mr. Xiong for giving me this face."

Her tone was very calm, not as irritable as she was after learning that Chen Xi was rescued, and it may be that time allowed her emotions to accumulate to a calmness that was on the verge of explosion.

Chen Xi listened quietly to the sound of movement above her head, she put her hands on a pair of birthday trees—they were where Father Xiong used to park his birthday trees.

After about a cup of tea, the movement above gradually subsided.

Then I heard Long Lanyi say: "Auntie and two big brothers, Long Lanyi is bothering you. Father Xiong, I will take my leave."

Papa Xiong didn't make things difficult for her, and soon heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

It took about another half a stick of incense to stare before Chen Xi and Qin Ge returned to the room.

Papa Xiong asked: "Xiaoxi, your whereabouts seem to have been exposed, does anyone else know that you are coming here?"

Chen Xi thought for a while, then frowned and said, "Aqi and the others are absolutely trustworthy, maybe...Ayi used some method to threaten him."

The only one who can make Wang Qi compromise is Elder Wang Wei.

If they continue to stay here, they are afraid that they will continue to cause trouble for Papa Xiong.

"Papa Xiong, we should go, otherwise you will be troubled if the high priest sends someone back." Chen Xi bowed to Papa Xiong, "I will come to see you again when the issue of the corpse man is resolved."

Father Xiong nodded, glanced at the hands they held together, with a gratified expression on his face: "Since Long Lanyi already knows your route, I'm afraid you will wait on the sidelines, so you have to be careful. Daxia Qin, please help me." Take care of Xiao Xi."

"I will protect her well." Qin Ge said solemnly.

"Take care." Chen Xi said.

After the two bid farewell to Papa Xiong, they continued to set off for the next destination.

After walking for three miles, Qin Ge suddenly chatted with Papa Xiong.

"Chen Xi, this old man Xiong is really good. Although his body looks old, but the light in his eyes may not even catch us."

Chen Xi blinked, as if something flashed in his head, "Eyes?"

"Yeah, didn't you notice? If it wasn't for the wrinkles on his face and the gray beard and hair, I would have thought he was still very young." After Qin Ge finished speaking, he found something wrong with Chen Xi's expression, so he hurriedly asked, " What's wrong?"

As if woken up by being asked, Chen Xi suddenly stared at his hands, which were slender and fair, without any dirt.

Eyelashes fluttered slightly, she spoke with some difficulty, her voice trembling in her throat, "That person just now is not the real Papa Xiong..."

It was so similar, it was exactly the same person, she didn't realize it from the beginning to the end.

If it wasn't for Qin Ge's words, she would never have found out...

Chen Xi stared at her hand, so dazed that she didn't even hear Qin Ge calling her.

Logically speaking, dust would accumulate on the coffin that had been left for a long time, but her hand had been placed on it for so long, but there was no dust on it.

Obviously something is wrong!

"I have to go back." Chen Xi didn't even have time to elaborate with Qin Ge, he jumped up in the air, and quickly rushed back with lightness kung fu.

"Chen Xi!" Qin Ge sighed, so he had to catch up with her first.

At that time, when she mentioned her master and Miao Jiang, she always expressed the sadness that she would never go back. Even so, Miao Jiang is her eternal hometown, and the people and things here can always touch her heart to the greatest extent.

It is more accurate to say that it is her own belief in guarding the Miao border than her responsibility to eliminate the corpses.

Miao Jiang is her home, and it gives her a sense of belonging. No matter how long she leaves or how far she goes, as long as Miao Jiang needs her, she will come back without hesitation.

They rushed back to Papa Xiong's residence and found that the house was empty, and the "Papa Xiong" they had just seen had disappeared.

"It seems that I was right." Chen Xi smiled wryly.

She would rather guess wrong herself.

Things backfire, what should come will still come.

Chen Xi stood beside the longevity tree under the house, took a deep breath, and pushed back the heavy coffin lid.

There was an old man lying in the coffin!

His appearance was exactly the same as the old bear they had seen before.

Qin Ge reached out to feel for the pulse of Papa Xiong, and shook his head at Chen Xi.

"Papa Xiong, I've offended you." Chen Xi said silently, his expression became serious, and he began to examine Papa Xiong's body.

Chen Xi inspected it for a long time, and said slowly: "The corpse is very complete, and there are almost no traces of fighting. From the outside, it can be ruled out that the death was caused by internal force. Eh, this is..."

Qin Ge followed Chen Xi's line of sight, and saw a little trace of dried blood on Papa Xiong's heart.

"Qin Ge, turn over Mr. Xiong with me, I think I found a fatal wound."

After the body was turned over, Chen Xi could clearly see the sword wound on the left chest. The wound was neat. Except for the blood that flowed out later, there was very little blood splashed when the sword pierced. From this point, it can be seen that this sword is very It was clean and neat, without even giving Papa Xiong any time to react.

"There are two things that can be confirmed at present. First, Old Man Xiong has no defense against the murderer; second, the murderer is likely to be someone who disguised himself as him." Chen Xi placed Old Man Xiong's body, "A first-class swordsman."

As far as she knew, there were no more than three people in Jianghu who could use that kind of swordsmanship.

Qin Ge said: "No matter how good the martial arts are, a bad mind will eventually be a disaster. This person knows our actions like the palm of his hand, so it has to be shocking."

Many years ago, Ximen Chuuxue, a very famous swordsman at that time, once said that swords are not used to kill people from behind.

The murderer failed his sword skills, failed his sword.

"When the matter is resolved, I will ask Wang Qi to come over and arrange the funeral of Mr. Xiong." Chen Xi stroked the edge of the coffin and sighed.

Qin Ge helped put the lid on the coffin, and suddenly heard Chen Xi ask: "Will you people who use swords get calluses on their hands?"

Qin ren looked at her and found that she was looking at his hand.

He replied: "Well, knives, guns and sticks will leave marks on their hands if they are used too much, just like a person who plays the piano will have calluses on his fingers. The more proficient the person, the more obvious the calluses on his hands."

Chen Xi let out an "oh", lowered his head and wondered what he was thinking.

"What's wrong?" Qin Ge asked.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm thinking too much." Chen Xi said, "Let's go."

Unexpectedly, during this trip, they actually encountered the murder of Xiong Laopai. The murderer might have something to do with the corpse.

Chen Xi sorted out the information in his mind as he walked.

Judging from the current situation, this person has superb swordsmanship, is familiar with Papa Xiong, and has a thorough understanding of what happened ten years ago.

Who is it, and what does it have to do with Yang Mu?

What kind of benefits does this person want to get in Miaojiang, or what kind of benefits does he want to get from the corpse?

Why do you want to transfer a large number of corpses, especially those close to the center of Miaojiang, Yang Mu, or what the real mastermind wants them to do?

Why did Long Lanyi get her news and come out to find her at this time?

Is it a coincidence or was it planned long ago...

……

Oops!

Chen Xi stopped suddenly, she ignored the most critical question!

The Temple of the High Priest is in danger!

"I have to go back to the temple right away." Chen Xi was about to leave after speaking, but Qin Ge grabbed his wrist.

"You're throwing yourself into a trap when you go back now, and she won't let you go!" Qin Ge said in a deep voice.

"But I have to go back. The goal of the army of corpses is the High Priest's Temple. I can't just leave it alone." Chen Xi turned around and stood face to face with Qin Ge, and said in a calm tone, "Qin Ge, Miao Jiang's current The situation has exceeded my imagination. I can't even predict whether the result will be good or bad. I can't back down at this time, because Miao Jiang needs me. If you can't bear it, please go back to the Central Plains and wait for my news. When everything is over, I will will find you."

Chen Xi's expression was very serious, and Qin Ge knew from looking at her that what she said was from the bottom of her heart.

If you want to stay, you don't need to do anything for her.

This is Miao Jiang's internal affairs.

Likewise, if he were to leave, she wouldn't think much of it.

I am used to facing it alone and resolving crises alone.

Even if she clearly knows how small her power is.

Nothing to do with heroes and saviors.

But do as you please.

I thought so, and I did it.

If someone asks him now, what kind of person is Chen Xi?

He would say without hesitation that Chen Xi is a person who never leaves room for himself.

She saves people, and she takes other people's lives very seriously.

But she doesn't take her own life seriously, especially when it comes to the issue of Miao Jiang.

Qin Ge even had an intuition that nothing in this world could surpass Miao Jiang's position in Chen Xi's heart.

"I'll accompany you." Qin Ge raised his hand, stroked her cheek lightly, and ran his fingertips through her hair, "No matter what the result is, I will witness it with you."

It was decided when he came to her, wasn't it?

In the life of Iron Man Qin Ge, he never backed down.

As if he didn't expect him to give such an answer, Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Even if there is only darkness ahead of the road, you won't regret it?"

Qin Ge nodded, "Even if I fall into Wuxian, I won't regret it."

He will never give himself a second chance to regret it.

Maybe it was because the emotion in the eyes that met each other was too strong for Chen Xi to ignore, let alone say words of rejection.

"Since you've already decided, then..." Chen Xi suddenly raised his hand to cover the hand on her cheek.

Qin Ge felt as if he had been stung by something on the back of his hand. It was just a feeling, neither painful nor itchy, and quickly disappeared in his blood.

"This is……?"

Chen Xi held his hand, smiling like a warm spring breeze, she pointed to her chest with the other finger, "Life and death Gu. Now, I can feel your heartbeat."

Life and death Gu, the Gu caster takes all damage instead of the Gu caster.

What love depends on, what the heart is tied to.Take the order on behalf of the king, and keep the king safe.

Sometimes, walking into a person's heart is completely unconscious, but the other person is really moved by you.

It may be because of a word, a movement, or even a look.

Going through fire and water, disregarding life and death, just to be seen by the person in my heart, is not a rumor that is out of reach.
