Han Tiexin was startled, "Such an obvious estrangement, how could Master Gao, Master Gao..."

"How could he be fooled?" The old man Xuegu interrupted him, and explained in an understanding tone, "Tie Xin, what you said is correct, this is indeed a divorce scheme, a very low-level scheme, but you ignored it. An important thing."

Han Tiexin hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"

There was a hint of emotion in the indifferent tone of the old man Xuegu: "They are father and son...Gao Guangjie is not an impulsive person, nor is he a dull person. If it were someone else, he might be able to analyze it calmly like you, but he was The person arrested was his beloved only son, as the saying goes, the bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused. I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, because I live in this mountain.”

Han Tiexin felt that what the old man Xuegu said was very reasonable. Tang Xiao might have recognized Gao Guangjie's eagerness to love his son, so he came up with this plan. Seemingly seeing his thoughts, he comforted him: "Don't worry, Lin'er should not be in danger of life now."

Han Tiexin was overjoyed: "Really?!"

"If those people really wanted Lin'er's life, why didn't they kill him directly, but took him away after a lot of trouble." The old man Xuegu said, "Besides, have you forgotten that he has a 'leader' on his body?" Soul'?"

Han Tiexin was awakened by the old man Xuegu's words, and the hanging heart finally let go a little.Soul-drawing is a highly poisonous substance extracted from dozens of poisonous flowers and plants by the old man of Xuegu. It diffuses in the air, and once inhaled, it will be toxic and suffocate to death. It is a life-saving talisman given by the old man of Xuegu to his two apprentices.

"The most urgent task now is to find their hiding place and rescue Lin'er." The old man Xuegu said, "That's why I came to you."

"Yes! Tie Xin will definitely do his best to be a junior brother! It's just..." Halfway through his words, he thought of his current situation, where he was not so free to come and go, and couldn't help feeling worried.

"Don't worry." The old man Xuegu seemed to see his worries, "When I came here just now, I saw that Xiao Fengling should have left Qingping Sect."

"Oh?"

"Looking at the direction, it is heading towards the Nangong family." The old man Xuegu continued, "You should have heard that Wang Yu is dead."

"Well, it is said that he committed suicide by throwing himself into a well," Han Tiexin said.

"Do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it." A trace of cold wisdom flashed in Han Tiexin's deep eyes, "And I think Wang Yu's death is related to Tang Xiao."

"It's a pity that it's hard to find Tang Xiao's hiding place."

"To be able to make such a big wave in the rivers and lakes is definitely not something he can do alone. Someone must have secretly helped him find the person who has connections with him. If he follows the clues, he will definitely find Tang Xiao's old lair!"

The old man Xuegu asked: "Then where do you plan to start the investigation?"

Han Tiexin thought for a while, then slowly said: "The idea of ​​this apprentice coincides with that of Master Xiao."

There was a little satisfaction in the calm eyes of the old man Xuegu, and he said: "It seems that you are going to visit the Nangong family as well."

Han Tiexin nodded: "Master Lao is here."

"Don't worry. I will pretend to be you and stay here." The old man Xuegu said, his voice was exactly the same as Han Tiexin's. With a pair of thin hands, he untied the package on his back and handed it to Han Tiexin, " You can take these, it may be useful."

Han Tiexin opened the package, and inside was a sandalwood box and a slender object wrapped in coarse cloth.Han Tiexin opened the wooden box, and inside was a diaper as thin as a cicada's wing.

The old man Xuegu's disguise technique is superb, but it is a pity that Han Tiexin, as his proud disciple, has not received the true instruction.The so-called disguise technique is to change one's appearance through makeup, and the difference in appearance between people is, in the final analysis, the distinction of characteristics. Whether it is wide or narrow, whether the flesh on the nose is plump and thick, etc., to change the natural appearance of a person through a pair of skillful hands requires a very important premise, that is, the facial features of the disguised person should not be too prominent.People like the old man Xuegu who are short, thin, and ordinary-looking are the most suitable for learning the art of disguise, but Han Tiexin's tall figure, ape arms and wasp waist, and tough and distinct facial features are really not the material for learning the art of disguise, so The old man Xuegu prepared a passport for him. When investigating secretly, although it cannot be mistaken for the real one, it can also cover up the original appearance to avoid suspicion.

Han Tiexin put the □□ on his face and fit it well, his handsome appearance with sharp edges and corners instantly became mediocre, his sallow cheeks were covered with a few light brown spots and large areas of dark red, as if he had been under the scorching sun for a long time As if he was sunburned from work, Han Tiexin took out a coarse cloth shirt and put it on, folded the clothes he took off and stuffed them into the clothes, which made his originally tall figure look bloated, and a handsome young man instantly became a A strong farmer.

Han Tiexin tidied up his clothes, rubbed his slender fingers back and forth on the coarse cloth next to the box, and sighed: "Master, you also know that I can't hold the sword..."

"This is not a sword." The old man Xuegu said kindly, "You will know when you open it."

Han Tiexin untied the thick cloth layer by layer according to his words, and what lay quietly inside was not a sword, but a scabbard that was black as if it had been scorched by fire.

Han Tiexin looked suspiciously at the old man Xuegu, and asked, "Master, is this?"

"The scabbard." The old man Xuegu didn't take his surprise seriously, and replied lightly, "I saved the life of a seriously injured person for my teacher back then. Later, when that person left, he handed over the scabbard to me for safekeeping, and said that if a He hasn't returned after [-] years, and I am the owner of this scabbard."

Speaking of this, a trace of loneliness flashed across the stiff face of the old man in Xuegu, and he said with a sigh: "This thing has been kept with me for more than 20 years. I don't think he will come back to get it. I will give it away now." Give it to you, it can be regarded as making it useful."

"Is he dead?" Han Tiexin swallowed this sentence in a circle around his throat. He felt that there was no need to ask such an obvious question to make Master feel sad, so he said, "It seems that this The scabbard is still a treasure, but I don't know where it is?"

The old man Xuegu took out a dagger, aimed at the scabbard lying on the table and chopped it off. The moment the dagger collided with the scabbard, the dagger was neatly cut off along the handle.

Han Tiexin immediately stood there in a daze.He had never seen a scabbard with such power.

"This is a scabbard made of a mixture of hemlock fir and black steel. It is extremely hard and invulnerable." The old man Xuegu explained.

"Sure enough, it's a treasure!" Han Tiexin took the scabbard in his hand, and felt the coldness of the scabbard go straight into his body along the palm of his hand. After weighing it, it was actually heavier than an ordinary stick. He carefully wrapped it up and carried it behind his back. Respectfully bid farewell to the old man Xuegu, turned around and jumped onto the rubble, and left Qingping Sect quickly.
