The shopkeeper nodded, then heard Fang Zilan ask: "The heavy rain caused the landslide and the road was blocked. Is it true or false?"
"Really, really true!" The shopkeeper suddenly raised his voice, but unexpectedly, Fang Zilan had been prepared and threw the hidden weapon with his backhand, stabbing the person hiding behind him to death.
The shopkeeper's eyes widened suddenly. Fang Zilan took off his bamboo hat, casually took the plum sword hanging on the horse, and said loudly: "Zixiu is here, what kind of monsters and ghosts are here, why don't you reveal yourself quickly?"
"Zixiu?" The shopkeeper repeated these two words and broke into a cold sweat. "I didn't know it was Zixiu who came in person. Damn it, damn it..."
"Aren't you a member of the ghost family?" Fang Zilan raised his eyebrows. The shopkeeper tugged at the corners of his mouth and forced a smile that was uglier than crying, "That... the member of the ghost family left half a month ago. You see... …”
The next moment, the shopkeeper screamed, and a piece of flesh on his shoulder had been cut off by Fang Zilan, and it was thrown straight to the ground, dripping with blood.
"Aren't you tired of lying in front of Zixiu? People in the ghost sect always do their best to eliminate the root causes. If they had left long ago, how could you still talk to me here?" Fang Zilan led the shopkeeper to the back of the tea shed. , looking at a body lying on the ground, which she had just killed with a hidden weapon.
"Is he a member of the ghost family?" Fang Zilan said, kicking the corpse's hand away, and a hidden weapon fell out from it, with a small ghost character engraved on it.
The shopkeeper hesitated and moaned in pain, Fang Zilan put the dagger in his hand on his wound, and slowly dug it in, "Tell me, what do you want to do with the ghost?"
"I don't know..." As soon as the shopkeeper opened his mouth, he saw Fang Zilan cut off a bigger piece of meat again, and the bones underneath were clearly visible, "If I don't get what I want, don't think of dying too easily."
After saying that, she took out the dagger and threw the shopkeeper on the ground, "What's the matter with the ghost gate? I, Zi Xiu, am ruthless in my methods. If I were to be ranked second in the world, I'm afraid no one would dare to be ranked first in the world. Do you want to give it a try?" "
"I'll do it..." The shopkeeper grinned in pain and crawled to Fang Zilan's feet, "The people from the ghost sect asked me to stay here to guide people from the imperial court..."
"Guide the way?" Fang Zilan's eyes were heavy, "What's the matter with being haunted, but someone is pretending to be a ghost?"
"No..." The shopkeeper's breath was unsteady, "There is really a ghost..."
"Did you know that according to the laws of the capital, if more than thirty people are deceived by evil words, they will be punished by beheading." Fang Zilan leaned over and pinched the shopkeeper's chin, and said coldly: "Or do you mean that you don't want to live in the first place?"
The shopkeeper shook his head like a rattle, and Fang Zilan exerted force on his hands, "Tell me, where is the path that the man in the ghost gate told you to point to?"
"Over there..." The shopkeeper stretched out a finger and pointed in a direction with difficulty.
"Take me there." Fang Zilan picked up the shopkeeper and walked in the direction he pointed, "What is this road?"
"The ones that were cleared... go to Shi County..." the shopkeeper said intermittently. Fang Zilan asked: "Who cleared the road?"
"The people in the ghost sect." The shopkeeper's face was pale, and Fang Zilan's heart sank. How could the people in the ghost sect be so kind? There is probably something wrong with this road. The people in Shi County...
"Zixiu..." the shopkeeper shouted cautiously, but Fang Zilan was indifferent and stared at the scene in front of him.
The gravel is piled up on the narrow mountain road, which can only accommodate two or three people. One side is a mountain and the other side is a cliff. If an ambush is set up here, it will be difficult for even the best soldiers and generals in the army not to be attacked.
Ghost Sect, what exactly does Ji Ningtian want to do?
"You come with me." Fang Zilan pushed the shopkeeper, and he fell on the road, as if some kind of mechanism had been triggered, and there was a loud bang.
"Be careful!" Fang Zilan stretched out her hand and pulled the shopkeeper to her side. Looking up, she saw a huge boulder rolling down the mountain, heading straight towards the two of them.
In the midst of lightning and flint, Fang Zilan whistled, and her horse came quickly, carrying the two of them and running out quickly.
However, the falling boulders were numerous and dense. Seeing that the tea shed fell to the ground and the horse was a little weak, Fang Zilan simply used the strength to jump off the horse, holding on to the shopkeeper for a few lifts and moving far away, so as not to be harmed.
In the end, only a neighing sound was heard, and the horse disappeared under the boulder.
The shopkeeper was still frightened and held on to Fang Zilan's sleeves, hearing her gritting her teeth and saying, "Aren't you still willing to tell the truth now?"
"Miss Xiu, you shouldn't have saved me." The shopkeeper's eyes showed a fierce look, and his intact hand suddenly rose and fell, but was separated by Fang Zilan's plum sword, "I don't expect you to repay your kindness, but I didn't expect you either. They will fight each other with swords."
Fang Zilan unsheathed her sword and stabbed it through the heart mercilessly. When the shopkeeper fell to the ground, he murmured: "You betrayed the ghost sect..."
"Is the Gate of Hell so good?" Fang Zilan put away the sword and said sadly: "Is it so good that you think it is more important than life?"
She knelt down and stroked the shopkeeper's face with her hands. When she felt the bones under the skin, she finally confirmed the answer.
The Ghost Sword Qianmo Dao was her companion through life and death.
Just now when she led him to jump off the horse, she touched the long scar on his ribs, and she already had a guess in her mind. It was not until he called out that beautiful girl that she finally confirmed it.
The two of them had a life-long friendship. He almost failed in a mission, but she came to the rescue and not only saved his life, but also helped him complete the mission.
Perhaps, this is the reason why he took action at the last minute...
Fang Zilan looked steadily at the lifeless person in front of her, wondering who made this skin for him. It looked better than his original appearance, but it was also too ordinary.
She moved her hands downwards, and suddenly stopped when she touched the glue line on her neck. You already know who it is, is it so important whether you can see the original appearance or not?
However, a voice in her heart screamed that she must see it. Only in this way can she truly accept the fact that she is separated from the ghost gate.
This is not the end, just the beginning.
Fang Zilan suddenly peeled off the mask of the person in front of her, revealing a slightly ferocious face with scars on the forehead.
Calm and pale, completely without the fierceness of the past. Who would have thought that it was this person who had suffered the torture of hell for her without saying a word, and who had also said to her, "I owe Miss Xiu a life. From now on, Miss Xiu will just do the work." That’s it”.
But this was the same person who drew a sword against her, hating her for betraying the ghost family...
"I have my own way, and no one can stop me." Fang Zilan said, reaching out to close Qianmo Dao's eyes, and said softly: "In the next life, just be an ordinary person, and don't get stained with blood anymore."
She stood up, looked back at the mountain road that had been sealed again, and felt that her heart was blocked by a stone. Now if you want to enter Shixian County, you can only go around the mountains, not to mention the time delay, and...
With Qian Mo Dao guarding this place, Mr. Su Heng and many other people in Shi County may be in danger.
