Dead wood fills the pillars

Zhong Yu parked the carriage and came in from the outside, just in time to see a young man with blood on his face running out in a hurry.

But for Jianghu people, seeing blood is no different from seeing snow.

He sat down obliviously.

Xiaoer just came up with the food.

Ji Wudi flicked his chopsticks, and desperately put the mushrooms into Yuan Aocai's bowl.

Before Yuan Aocai moved his chopsticks, the bowls were already piled up like a tall tower.It's rare that a piece of shiitake mushroom didn't slide off the tower.

……

"Master, what shall we eat?" Shang Que asked calmly holding up his chopsticks.

Just when the second child arrived, Ji Wudi ordered four plates of fried shiitake mushrooms in one go.But now, these four plates of fried mushrooms are all concentrated in Yuan Aozai's bowl.

"Eat." Ji Wudi took a big mouthful by himself.

Shang Que looked at the bare plate, then at Yuan Aocai's bowl, and said helplessly, "Master, why don't we order some other dishes?"

"But Ah Zuo said that money is very tight in the door recently...we have to live frugally." Ji Wudi bit his chopsticks, "And this time he blackmailed Wudang a lot of money. The big deal, when we get to Wudang Mountain, We try to eat it back."

……

Damn money is tight.

Shang Que couldn't flatter Zuo Siwen's excuse to the extreme. "Sect Master, actually... I still have some private money."

Ji Wudi blinked at him.

"If the sect master doesn't dislike it, let me treat you to this meal." Shang Que smiled.

Ji Wudi immediately raised his hand, and shouted at Xiao Er who was walking down the stairs, "Four more plates of fried shiitake mushrooms."

Shang Que: "..."

After a meal, the four of them went upstairs.

Ji Wudi followed behind Shang Que, asking persistently: "Is the inn not full? Are there only two rooms left? Didn't you say you must squeeze us?"

Shang Que finally listened to his footsteps, looked back at him and said, "Master."

"Huh?" Ji Wudi looked at him expectantly.

"If there are only two rooms left, it must be yours and Mr. Yuan's. Zhong Yu and I will go to sleep in Tongbu."

Ji Wudi said: "Then what if there is only one room left?"

Yuan Aozai, who had been silent all this time, said, "I'm going to sleep in the bunk too."

Ji Wudi looked at him moved, "Ah Ce, you are so kind to me. You actually left the room to me, and went to sleep in the bunk alone."

……

Going to sleep alone?

So what are he and Zhong Yu?

Shang Que thought very unpleasantly.

Yuan Aozec turned his head away, avoiding Ji Wudi's scorching gaze, and said coldly, "I just want to be nice to myself."

But none of the above happened.

The business of the inn is not very good, and there are many rooms.Enough for each of them.

into the night.

Ji Wudi tossed and turned on the bed alone, unable to fall asleep.Although the bed looked soft, it was hard to sleep on.Although the room looked gorgeous, it was very spooky at night.Especially on the window paper, the swaying branches seem to be waving with countless slender hands.

He felt that the more he slept under the quilt, the colder he got, and finally he couldn't help but put on his clothes and get up, put on his shoes and go out.

It was very quiet outside, only the sound of wind and leaves.

Ji Wudi shrank, tiptoed to the door of Yuan Aocai's room, and knocked on the door.

"A Ce..." He said in a very low voice.

It was very quiet inside.

"Ah Ce." His voice raised slightly.

Still nothing.

Ji Wudi began to consider whether to shout for water.

sudden -

He felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if a gust of wind was blowing over him.

Although his martial arts are not good, he is the master of the Huihuang sect after all. Under Ji Huihuang's intimidation since he was a child, he can still do simple moves.

The next Feng nodded and hid to the side.

However, his movements are fast, and Yuan Aoce's movements are even faster.

The moment he nodded his head, the door opened suddenly, and two slender fingers stretched out from the inside, gripping the thick back knife that had been hacked precisely.

Ji Wudi looked at the owner of the piercing eyes outside the black scarf in surprise, "Why did you kill me?"

The man in black held the knife, and his body was still in the chopping posture just now. "Today is a day for killing people."

Ji Wudi said, "I'm asking why you came to kill me?"

The man in black repeated: "Today is a day to kill people."

"..."

Seeing that Ji Wudi was speechless, Yuan Aozec felt very happy, and even thought it was pleasing to the eye at this moment when he was up in the middle of the night and ran outside other people's rooms to assassinate. "Did I tell you that I hate thick back knives?"

The man in black tilted his head to look at him.

Yuan Aoce turned his fingers, and the knife broke with a crisp sound.

The doors of Shang Que and Zhong Yu opened, and they rushed out at the same time.

"What happened?" Shang Que asked nervously.

Although the man in black's knife was broken, there was still half of it in his hand, so he swung it at Yuan Aozai again.

Yuan Aozie intended to let him go, but when he saw him pestering him endlessly, he couldn't help but get a little annoyed, and lightly flicked his fingers with the broken knife in between.

The broken knife flew away, and lightly brushed the man in black's neck.

Blood splashes.

The man in black fell down without even making a sound.

Shang Que took a step forward and stretched out his hand to remove the mask of the man in black, "This man seems familiar."

Zhong Yu said: "The young man who ran out of the inn today."

"Ah. It's him?" Shang Que asked in surprise.

Ji Wudi was even more surprised, "The unlucky ghost who was beaten up by A Shang? Is he really a master of concealment?"

"It's true that you don't show your face, it's not necessarily a master." Yuan Aozai leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed.

"A Ce. Thank you just now." Ji Wudi leaned over.

Yuan Aocai immediately leaned against the door frame on the other side.

Shang Que asked puzzledly: "So he came to avenge the daytime? But why didn't he come directly at me, but instead troubled the sect master?"

Yuan Aoce sneered and said, "Of course you have to choose soft persimmons to eat."

Both Shang Que and Zhong Yu were shocked.

Ji Wudi waved his sleeves and said, "Ah Ce is one of his own, so don't hide it from him. Anyway, my martial arts are not good."

Shang Que was quite speechless about the candid words and deeds of a gentleman like his own sect master.

Zhong Yu said: "Why is the door owner at the door?"

As soon as Shang Que was reminded by him, he immediately reacted, "That's right. Sect Master, why are you just at the door of Mr. Yuan's room?"

Ji Wudi said innocently, "I couldn't sleep, so I came to chat with Ah Ce."

Shang Que looked at Yuan Aozec.

Yuan Aozec said: "I don't mind if you keep this posture all night, but there is something I have to remind. This is an inn, if other people in the inn find the body, I'm afraid there will be a little trouble."

Without saying a word, Zhong Yu squatted down to pick up the corpse and was about to leave.

Ji Wudi suddenly said: "I think this person is a bit strange just now."

Shang Que said, "What's so strange?"

"His answer was very strange. I asked him why he wanted to kill me, and he said, because today is a day to kill."

Shang Que suddenly said solemnly: "Look at his chest for a blue flame mark."

As he said, Zhong Yu had already put down the body and began to undress.

The clothes were unbuttoned, and there was indeed a small blue flame on his chest.

"What is this?" Ji Wudi asked curiously.

"The symbol of the Blue Flame Alliance." Shang Que signaled Zhong Yu to bury the body, "We'll talk about it when we enter the house." He said, and took the lead to enter the house.

Originally, Yuan Aocai's boss was unwilling to step aside.But he has been away from the Jianghu for a long time, and he is blank about the affairs of the Jianghu in the past eight years, and he is looking for an opportunity to learn more about it.The two sides were entangled, so he had to follow behind him with one eye open and one eye closed, and closed the door smoothly.

After Shang Que entered the room, he was not polite, poured a glass of water on his own, took a sip, and then said slowly: "By the way, ever since the Demon Cult moved far away to the Western Regions..."

"Wait, you said that the Demon Cult moved far away to the Western Regions?" Yuan Aocai frowned.

"Did no one tell you?" Shang Que was surprised.

Yuan Aoce said coldly, "Who do you think will tell me?" In the past eight years since he was imprisoned, not to mention people from the Devil's Cult, not even a fly from the Devil's Cult has ever flown in.

Ji Wudi stretched out his hand, held his hand and said, "Ace, don't worry, you still have me. I will support you, and you won't be left without food."

……

Who is worried about whether there is food to eat?

Yuan Aoce was so annoyed by him, the original anger was dissipated instead. "You just said that the Demon Cult moved far away to the Western Regions. What does that have to do with the Blue Flame League?"

Shang Que said: "The Demon Cult moved far to the Western Regions, and the gangsters in the martial arts of the Central Plains had no leader. It was very chaotic for a while. The Blue Flame League gradually became prosperous at that time. But this Blue Flame League is very strange. Although it gradually Ruled the underworld martial arts, but no one knows where the headquarters of the Blue Flame League is, let alone who its leader is. They only know that they have an extremely weird sorcery that can control people's minds, which can make people unconscious. It does what it orders."

"The sorcery that controls people's hearts, obey their orders?" Ji Wudi frowned. "Is it like controlling a puppet?"

"Almost." Shang Que said, "At the beginning, many famous martial arts heroes were planted on this kind of magic, which caused the Baidao martial arts to be in turmoil for a while. Fortunately, Duanmu Murong, the owner of Qixia Villa, is proficient in medical skills and researched this method. Although this kind of sorcery is weird, it is not very difficult to break it, as long as you press heavily on the Renzhong acupoint, it can be broken."

Ji Wudi said: "So that person just now was actually bewitched by a sorcerer?"

Shang Que nodded, "It is said that the Blue Flame League has been using sorcery to test ordinary people recently, trying to resist the method of cracking the Renzhong acupoint. I didn't expect to encounter it here."

Yuan Aozec said: "It's no wonder that his eyes were a little dull when looking at people just now, and he couldn't feel his inner strength, as if he was swinging the knife entirely by instinct."

Ji Wudi said: "Why do I feel that his eyes are so piercing?"

"Where do you think he is so bright?"

"It's just that when I look at you, my eyes don't blink."

"That's sluggishness."

Ji Wudi suddenly realized, "It turns out that when Ah Ce ate shiitake mushrooms, he always ate them dully."

The corner of Yuan Aoce's mouth twitched, "Eating can't be described as sluggish."

"That sparkle?"

"...Still sluggish."
