He Yanzhi raised his hand and rubbed his chin, frowned and pondered: "Just now we have been avoiding footprints, and it is reasonable to go to a place where you and I have not set foot. Now this place is full of footprints. Could it be that we have traveled all over this place? ?”

Xiao Hongyin guessed: "Perhaps, let's go further and try."

He Yanzhi pointed in a direction, and the two walked there.

In the layers of hanging colorful streamers, the light is absorbed by the colors, making it increasingly difficult to see the scene in front of you clearly.

He Yanzhi felt his eyes sore and swollen after staring for a long time, subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, rubbed them a few times and it started to itch again, Xiao Hongyin stopped him when he saw this.

"No." Xiao Hongyin held his hand to prevent him from moving.

He Yanzhi also knew not to rub his eyes, but he was really uncomfortable, so he could only squeeze his eyes hard to relieve the itching.

Xiao Hongyin held both of his hands with his left hand at the same time, freed his right hand to hold He Yanzhi's face, then moved closer and blew at his eyes lightly.

"Is it better?" Xiao Hongyin asked softly.

He Yanzhi tried to win his eyes, but felt a little uncomfortable, so he shook his head.

Xiao Hongyin blew for him again, and He Yanzhi slowly opened his eyes, and saw the infinitely enlarged face in front of him.

The two were almost close to each other at this moment, and He Yanzhi could clearly see the fluff on Xiao Hongyin's face.

The long and dense eyelashes brushed the forehead hair lightly, and the amber eyes were as gentle and tender as the wind blowing willows, making people indulge in unconsciously, but the other party blinked before he indulged for a long time.

"Yanzhi? Can you still see clearly?"

Seeing that He Yanzhi's eyes were dull, Xiao Hongyin thought that there was something wrong with his vision, so he held his face and looked up and down, taking the opportunity to pinch the flesh on his cheeks.

"You can see clearly, don't shake."

He Yanzhi struggled out of his hands, looking at him resentfully.

Xiao Hongyin laughed heartlessly, and wanted to play tricks on He Yanzhi again, but the latter would naturally not let him bully him, so the two had a quarrel in the blink of an eye.

And just when He Yanzhi's hand was about to pinch Xiao Hongyin's face successfully, the other party suddenly restrained his smile.

"what happened?"

He Yanzhi withdrew his hand unwillingly, followed his gaze, and found that Xiao Hongyin was staring at a row of footprints.

"The footsteps are flimsy and unsteady, the left foot is heavy in the front and light in the back, and you and I are both martial arts practitioners, with steady steps, there will never be such marks." The footprints on the ground are messy, and Xiao Hongyin pointed out the most abrupt shape among them for He Yanzhi A pair, He Yanzhi became vigilant after seeing it.

"There is a third person, or it is left behind by the predecessors."

When the two entered the temple, they saw no one else, and they stayed here for a long time without seeing anyone. When did these inexplicable footprints appear?

He Yanzhi checked the surrounding ground, and found that almost every place they walked was mixed with this person's footprints, and he couldn't help feeling bad thoughts.

"We're being watched."

As soon as He Yanzhi finished speaking, Xiao Hongyin made a silent gesture to him.

The two held their breaths, and in the completely silent and dark environment, the sound of footsteps that had been ignored by them sounded.

That person is not far away.

Xiao Hongyin drew his sword out of its sheath, drew a circle on the ground, and said to He Yanzhi: "Stay here and don't move, I'll go and have a look."

He Yanzhi looked at the circle on the ground, feeling inexplicably familiar: "Is your surname Sun?"

Xiao Hongyin didn't understand: "Huh? What did you say?"

He Yanzhi shook his head, drove the strange picture out of his mind, and said seriously: "It's nothing, be careful in everything."

Xiao Hongyin said "En", and then went in the direction of the footsteps.

He Yanzhi stayed there doing nothing, and simply squatted down to study the footprints.

Judging by the size of the footprints, the person should be a man, and the weight of the right foot in the front and light in the back indicates that the person's right leg is injured and walking is limited.

The surrounding environment was silent, and any thinking would not be easily disturbed, so He Yanzhi was fascinated by watching, slowly moved his body, and followed the footprints all the way.

Following the footprints to a relatively clean ground, He Yanzhi found that they had never been here before, and there were only the messy footprints of that person on the ground covered with incense ash. He finally understood why the two had been circling around in place before.

He Yanzhi recalled the previous scene.

At first, the two walked by avoiding footprints, and they kept walking back. As they walked, the light became brighter, indicating that they were constantly approaching the exit.

But after they turned their direction, the light became dimmer as they walked, so dark that it caused discomfort to the eyes, which just showed that they were heading deep at that time.

As for the reason, that person deliberately followed them carefully, stepping on his own footprints ahead of time when the two were making a quick turn, so as to confuse them and force them to keep going back to the original place.

He wanted to force them to leave in this way.

He Yanzhi stood up, patted the ashes on the hem of his clothes, thinking that since the other party used this method to drive people away, it meant that his strength was weak and not enough to fight against any strangers, so let Xiao Hongyin face it alone, and He Yanzhi didn't have to do this Worry.

"What about the circle?"

Seeing that the circle on the ground disappeared, He Yanzhi realized that he had walked out unknowingly, and then planned to walk back along the footprints, but in a flash from the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a branch under the colorful banner on the left hand side. Iron furnace feet.

This is... an incense burner?

He Yanzhi got closer, lifted the colorful banners that got in the way, and revealed the whole picture of the iron incense burner.

The incense burner with the size of a human head was lying on its side in the corner, and the inside where the incense ashes were originally stored was empty, only a few unburned half incense sticks scattered around.

He Yanzhi leaned over and took a closer look, and saw dried dark red blood stains on the feet of the three furnaces.

"There is blood."

He stretched out his hand to pinch the rim of the incense burner and brought it up to his eyes, and saw blood splatters on it, which should have been used to hit someone on the head.

He Yanzhi put the incense burner aside and noticed the traces of fighting on the surrounding ground.

Dozens of pairs of footprints of different sizes and shapes are mixed together. A cursory observation shows that there are women, children, old and young. The traces of being dragged on the ground extend from here to the right.

He Yanzhi lifted the colorful banners on the right side all the way, and the further back, the more bloodstains on the colorful banners, until he lifted five or six banners, his sight was occupied by the shocking knife marks on the ground and bloodstains all over the ground.

His throat became hoarse and dry, and He Yanzhi clenched his fists silently. Just as he took a step, the colorful banner opposite was suddenly lifted. He Yanzhi quickly pulled out the dagger from his sleeve. After snapping his fingers, a half-rotten peach split into pieces on the ground. four petals.

"stop!"

The colorful flag moved, and the man fled away.

He Yanzhi hurriedly chased after him. Amidst the sound of footsteps, he saw a figure flashing by on the left front side, and immediately rushed forward.

His left shoulder bumped into a hard object suddenly, and He Yanzhi retreated to the side unsteadily, and when he turned his head, he saw Xiao Hongyin's surprised face with a trace of helplessness.

"..."

He Yanzhi didn't know that they would bump into each other by such a coincidence, so he wanted to explain that he didn't run out on purpose, but Xiao Hongyin interrupted him: "Go back and settle the score with you."

Xiao Hongyin put away his sword a long time ago, the time they collided, the man had already disappeared, and they could only judge the direction by listening to the sound.

"Have you seen that person clearly?" He Yanzhi asked curiously.

"A cripple who moves freely."

"?"

Xiao Hongyin knew there was something wrong with saying that, but he had to admit that it was the truth.

"By the way, I found the incense burner just now. There are bloodstains all over the place, and there are fierce fighting marks. It should be left by the murdered refugees."

He Yanzhi briefly recounted what he saw just now, Xiao Hongyin nodded and said: "It seems that my guess is right."

"what?"

"The refugees were killed by people sent by Zhou Xie, and a fish that slipped through the net is now escaping right under our noses."

He Yanzhi understood: "This fish mistook us for Zhou Xie's accomplice, how to catch him?"

Xiao Hongyin looked at him, but smiled and said nothing.

He Yanzhi's face was burning hot under his stare, and he frowned and said: "Don't be tricky, speak quickly if you have something to say."

"Beauty plan."

Xiao Hongyin said these three words seriously, and He Yanzhi immediately got goosebumps all over his body.

"Can you say that again……"

He was furious for a moment, and the hand holding the dagger trembled slightly, as if it was about to be swung out in the next second, but Xiao Hongyin still said calmly: "What's wrong with beauty tricks?"

While talking, he turned sideways to look for something, and he didn't notice that the flames around him were about to rise to the sky. Just before He Yanzhi completely erupted, Xiao Hongyin finally took out an embroidered shoe.

"Yanzhi, look, just now I found the place where the man lived, and I brought this along the way. I think this embroidered shoe must have been left by his wife, so we might as well use this to lure him out."

Xiao Hongyin shook the embroidered shoes in his hand, seeing that He Yanzhi's expression was not right, he said worriedly: "Yanzhi? What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine..."

It turned out to be a misunderstanding.

He Yanzhi took a deep breath and slowly eased his emotions.

Seeing that his face turned pale, Xiao Hongyin kept watching him carefully, and when He Yanzhi's face gradually calmed down, he heard him say: "He will know this shoe is his at a glance, how are you going to lure him into it."

"How will you know if you don't try?" Xiao Hongyin took He Yanzhi's hand, and wrapped his cold fingertips with the warmth of his palm.

The two found the sound of footsteps, put the embroidered shoes on the ground and retreated ten steps to hide quietly.

In order to avoid bumping into each other again, Xiao Hongyin held onto He Yanzhi this time, and agreed that he would arrest him later.

In the silent silence, He Yanzhi's hands were tightly clasped with the person, and the slight beating from the palm made him unable to judge the length of time.

It seems that several years have passed for a cup of tea. When the sound of picking up objects was heard not far away, Xiao Hongyin appeared like a ghost, and grabbed the man's collar with one hand.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, He Yanzhi smashed the incense burner in the man's hand, and blocked Xiao Hongyin's blow.

"I fought with you!"

Without the guy, the man was going to hit them with his head, but Xiao Hongyin grabbed his arm and twisted his backhand to catch him.

Being restrained on the ground and unable to move, the man was still muttering something, He Yanzhi squatted down in front of him, yawned, and said: "Old man, if you continue to make such a fuss, we will have to silence it."
