Listen to the king's order

Once the snake array was broken, the dark cave no longer existed.

Lu Ming looked around, and there was no shadow of Buxu Mountain. They appeared in a small building out of thin air at this moment—it was still a small building that had been abandoned for a long time.

Lu Ming and Lan Xi were in a long corridor. The red-painted pillars had been mottled because they hadn't been taken care of for a long time, revealing the moldy huai wood inside.

The sandalwood corridor is covered with messy green and yellow weeds, and the carved patterns can be seen faintly.Looking into the courtyard from the corridor, one can see a desolation.

In North Chen Tianhan, almost every family and courtyard loves to grow plums, especially snow plums.This family is no exception, but the snow plums in the garden have grown disorganized because no one has been looking after them all year round, and they are all dead branches, but they are born stubbornly, and they have not died out after many years.

The promenade is built against the water, and the pool it surrounds has long since dried up and overgrown with weeds.Looking from a distance, one can vaguely see a gold plaque hanging on the gray-white stone wall at the end of the corridor, with the words "Meixiang Xiaozhu" written on it.

Hua Wudao and Fusheng are standing across the corridor at the other end of the plum garden and waving at them.

Lu Ming and Lan Xi looked at each other, then raised their legs and walked towards them.

"Master, where do you think we are?"

Lan Xi's unwavering eyes flickered imperceptibly after hearing Lu Ming's question.He didn't answer immediately, he seemed to be thinking.After a while, he said: "Beichen Land Boundary, this small building seems to have been abandoned for many years, there is only one possibility."

North Chen Huo's house.

Lu Ming's thoughts coincided with his.In fact, it is strange to say that when he met Jiang Qichen when he was young, he was in the Buxu mountain in Beichen, but later he became a shadow, following Jiang Qichen's orders to secretly investigate the past 12 years ago, running around in Chen country, but rarely Coming here to Beichen, I have never been to the residence of Huo's family in Beichen.

I came in by mistake today.

Hua Wudao yelled at Lu Ming and Lan Xi after a long distance: "Hey, I said! Aren't we in Buxu Mountain? Why did we come to Huo's house! This is great, where can I find the little Shuchen?" Go, most of the day has passed!"

Lu Ming was taken aback when he heard the words, he and Lan Xi just speculated that this was Beichen Huo's house, but Hua Wudao's tone seemed very certain.

Lu Ming glanced at Lan Xi subconsciously. The man was wearing a human and leather mask, and he couldn't see his expression.But ever since he entered this Meixiang Xiaozhu, he felt that Lan Xi always looked thoughtful.Lu Ming faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what went wrong, so he had to suppress the doubt for the time being.

When they approached, Lu Ming asked Hua Wudao first, "Have you been here before?"

Hua Wudao obviously didn't expect Lu Ming to ask this question when he opened his mouth. The yelling that was still on his lips just now stopped abruptly. His expression was as usual, and the frivolity that he hadn't seen for a long time floated on his face again: "How many times have you been here? , I was a master in the rivers and lakes, where have I not been? Here, look at this garden full of snow plums, which were the best blooming in Beichen back then. I have always loved flowers and plants, so of course I will not miss it." After saying that, He shook his head with reluctance: "Oh, it's such a waste, what a pity..."

Seeing this, Fu Sheng opened his mouth, and thought of the beating he had suffered in the cave before, but he didn't open his mouth after all, so he gave Hua Wudao a "sad" look as comfort.

Fu Sheng turned to look at Lu Ming and Lan Xi: "What should we do now, where can we find the scholar?"

Lan Xi said: "Since Snake Array brought us here, the Shuchen should be here as well."

"Back then, the Huo family was wiped out by gangsters, and corpses were strewn across the front yard and backyard. However, this Meixiang Xiaozhu is hidden deep in the gate of the mansion, and there are few people who have not been slaughtered." Hua Wudao looked at the remnant plums in this yard, and suddenly gathered them away. With a smile and long eyes, it seems to have traveled back to 12 years ago: "Looking at this scene, it's so desolate, it's better to be slaughtered. It's sad to see these dead branches and leaves."

Lan Xi's eyes fluttered and fell on Hua Wudao's sad face, and said coldly: "Let's go."

Hua Wudao curled his lips, and teased: "That's right, how can someone like you, who has never eaten the fireworks of the world, know how to understand sorrow and pain!"

The long sword in Lan Xi's hand was three inches out of the sheath, Fu Sheng's eyes ached with the flash of the sword.

"Okay! We're going to fight again! Come on!" Hua Wudao snatched Yinshuang from Lu Ming's hand with his hands. With a shot of domineering skill, Yinshuang melted into a sword, and the cold air immediately dispersed.

Lan Xi's eyes were fixed, and he lifted his scabbard and waved his sword to meet him.

With a flash of silver light, the long sword in Lan Xi's hand thrust out mercilessly, aiming at Hua Wudao's chest.Hua Wudao turned his backhand, the wrist holding Yinshuang was boneless, and the blade tilted slightly, brushing against Lan Xi's neck.

Lan Xi raised his long sword to block in front of him, tapped his foot, jumped out of the corridor, Hua Wudao immediately chased after him.

After all, Yinshuang is a magic weapon, the chill is surging, and there is a little bit of hoarfrost everywhere it passes.

And Lan Xi, an ordinary long sword, greeted Yinshuang's sword intent, but did not lose the wind in the slightest.

The two swords intersected, and there was a sound of "Zeng", piercing people's eardrums sharply.

Fu Sheng covered his ears impatiently, and shouted to the garden: "Brother Hua! Brother Lan Xi! Stop beating, what time is this!

It is important to save lives! "After shouting for a long time, the two people who were up and down and fighting like they had never heard of it before, Fu Sheng turned his head, and said to Lu Ming who was concentrating on watching the fight with an indifferent face: "Brother Lu, please tell them to stop!" Come down, when will the fight continue like this! "

Lu Ming's expression didn't move, and his eyes didn't move away from the two people for a moment, but he stretched out a hand to stick to Fu Sheng's back.A chilling internal force came from behind, Fu Sheng couldn't stop shaking his whole body, after a chill, the discomfort in his ears eased a lot.

Then, he heard Lu Ming say, "Come on."

Yinshuang swung down a sword intent, and the dead branches of snow plums all over the garden suddenly rose into the air.Hua Wudao, who was saddened by this room of remnant plums just now, seemed to be a different person, and mercilessly struck the dead branch towards Lan Xi.

Lan Xi turned around on the spot, and the floating sleeves of his robe swept away the dead branches that hit him. The dead branches fell to the ground and sank deeply into the soil.

The long sword was raised to the side, the internal force in the palm was condensed, Lan Xi's two slender fingers stroked the sword, the long sword suddenly became silvery, and the majestic and compelling sword energy pointed at Hua Wudao unscrupulously.

The corners of Hua Wudao's mouth curled up, and his eyes were evil.The hand holding the hilt of Yinshuang's sword exerted a little force, and Yinshuang was wrapped in the monstrous frost. Just now, it was a silver sword that cut iron like mud, but now it has become an ice blade.

Without hesitation, he flew up to meet Lan Xi, the long sword met the ice blade, and the icy sword energy instantly shattered the ice that filled Yinshuang.The knife-like ice slag scattered in all directions, flying from the front of the two to every corner of Xiaozhu in an instant.

Then, Xiaozhu seemed to be torn from the inside by someone, and the place where the broken ice passed was glowing red little by little.

Lan Xi and Hua Wudao withdrew their sword intent, and jumped to the side of Lu Ming and Fu Sheng.

In a short while, the blue sky, white sun, and small buildings in Meiyuan disappeared completely, replaced by a gloomy palace glowing red.

Fu Sheng stared dumbfounded at the sudden change in front of him, and just about to ask, Hua Wudao covered his mouth and hid behind the stone pillar beside him.

Lan Xi and Lu Ming also suppressed their aura at the same time, and stood in the shadow of the corner.

As soon as they hid, they saw several women in purple clothes with black gauze on their faces, passing by them with fiery red lanterns.

Several women had graceful figures, and the purple long gowns were tightly attached to their bodies. When they moved, the black gauze swayed, and if they listened carefully, they could hear the tinkling of small bells.Taking a closer look, those women were not wearing shoes or socks, and there were small silver bells tied around their slender ankles, and the ringing of the bells came from their feet.

In the orthodox path, especially those majoring in swords like the Kunlun School and Rashomon School, there are very few female disciples.Fu grows so big, and has never seen so many graceful and charming women, his heart skipped a beat, and a blush appeared on his face, and he turned his head shyly, not daring to look again.

Hua Wudao covered Fu Sheng's mouth and held him in his arms, and immediately felt Fu Sheng's strange movement, he glanced at Fu Sheng with some disgust, and couldn't help giving him a violent "brain collapse".

Fu Sheng was in severe pain from being beaten by Hua Wudao, but he covered his mouth and couldn't move, so he could only look at Hua Wudao with tears in his eyes, and then he got a look full of "Stinky boy, you're worthless!"

There was nothing wrong with Lan Xi and Lu Ming.After several women passed by, four people emerged from the shadows.

As soon as he broke away from Hua Wudao's restraint, Fu Sheng rubbed his head and lowered his voice and said, "What's going on, aren't we in Huo's Xiaozhu? Where is this?"

Lan Xi said: "Where this is is still unknown, but what is certain is that we are still in Buxu Mountain, maybe this is the lair of those who practice evil kung fu."

"Buxu Mountain? Why did you go back to Buxu Mountain?"

Hua Wudao shook his head: "We have always been in Buxu Mountain, and we have never gone out."

Fu Sheng was stunned again: "Huh? Then what was that just now?"

Lan Xi said: "That's an illusion, another formation after coming out of the snake formation."

"...That's why you guys fight? Are you breaking the formation in the name of fighting? No wonder Brother Lu is so calm! How do you see it's an illusion? I look very realistic!"

Hua Wudao stepped forward and gave Fu Sheng another look: "You don't see anything real! Brat!"

Fu Sheng: "..."

"It's dust." Lu Ming said in a deep voice: "Meixiang Xiaozhu is indeed very realistic. The promenade, pool, and plum garden all seem to have been moved directly from Huo's house, but there is one thing - a 12-year-old Where people walk, the corridors and courtyards are deserted but there is no dust at all."

"Okay... so Brother Lan Xi and Brother Hua are acting?"

I'm afraid they are fighting in the name of acting...

"Don't talk so much now." Lan Xi turned and said to Hua Wudao: "It's too annoying for the four of us to act together, brother, you take Fusheng, let's go separately, find Shuchen and those mountain people and meet here .”

Hua Wudao grabbed Fu Sheng's collar with black lines all over his face, pointed at Fu Sheng's face with one hand and said, "Why am I always carrying Fu Sheng, not you?"

Lan Xi pulled out Yinshuang, who was still pinned on the waist by Hua Wudao, and handed it to Lu Ming next to him, a smile suddenly appeared on his delicate face: "Why don't you let Lu Ming choose by himself, if he is willing to agree With you, it doesn't matter to me."

Lu Ming took Yinshuang from Lan Xi's hand, and seeing several people staring at him, he was a little embarrassed, he coughed lightly, and said to Lan Xi: "That...let's go..."

The author has something to say:

Huahua's last stubbornness: Lu Ming, I want to walk with you!

Lulu: I don't...
