They had fought last night, and Xiao An always knew how to sum up experience in battles. If he met the same opponent again, it would be much easier to deal with them.
"You are really underestimating your talents by being a guard beside him!" Hong Laoer's voice came out. He pulled out the scimitar from his waist. Under the stimulation of the true energy, the blade turned red and a wave of sword rolled out.
Xiao An's eyes suddenly opened, his long sword struck horizontally, and he met the scimitar.
The swords clashed, causing dazzling sparks to fly.
"This scimitar is interesting!" Xie Yunxiao's eyes flickered. What is Hong Laoer's identity? Why did he kill the seventh elder? And why do you want to kill Xie Chuan and frame Xie Yunxiao on him?
It is obviously not easy to find the answer to these many doubts.
"Suffer death!" Hong Lao'er's eyes suddenly turned blood red. He clenched the scimitar in both hands and slashed down, the bright light of the sword curling around.
Xiao An was submerged in the sword light. In the blink of an eye, the light dispersed. Xiao An's sword stabbed Hong Laoer's throat, and Hong Laoer's scimitar was inserted into Xiao An's chest.
Hong Laoer looked down at the sword that penetrated his throat, his eyes full of doubts. How could he die in the hands of a young man in the third realm?
Xiao An drew out his long sword and almost fell down. He took a few steps back. His face was indescribably pale, and strands of blood kept slipping from the corners of his mouth.
"Can it still be stable?" Xie Yunxiao asked. There was no pity or concern in his eyes, because he knew that Xiao An didn't need this.
"It'll be fine in a moment!" Xiao An pulled out the scimitar from his chest and bandaged the wound hastily.
"We can't leave yet!" Xie Yunxiao's voice was cold.
Xiao An nodded. Hong Laoer came here and changed into the appearance of the seventh elder. Obviously he wanted to go to Jiuwen Mountain.
But before that, who was taking care of the inn?
To hide people's eyes and ears and use this place as a stronghold, it is impossible for this inn to be empty.
By this time, it was almost afternoon time.
Xie Yunxiao was very patient, and so was Xiao An. They sat here for nearly two hours without even moving.
The inn is very quiet, and occasionally you can hear the roar of animals from the mountains, which makes the inn even quieter.
Xiao An's wounds were scarred, but his face was still pale. He stood up and looked at the world outside the inn, which seemed to have a different flavor.
Turning around, the room was a little dark.
Suddenly, someone outside was heard shouting: "There is an inn ahead, let's go and take a look!"
This voice seemed familiar. Xie Yunxiao also stood up. Through the crack of the half-open door, he could see several people walking over. The leader was an acquaintance, Xie Long.
"Master, why are they here?" Xiao An looked confused.
Xie Yunxiao shook his head: "The current situation is very complicated!"
When Xiao An heard this, a chill ran down his spine for no reason.
With a bang, the door of the inn was kicked open by Xie Long's people. When he saw Xie Yunxiao and Xiao An in the hall of the inn, Xie Long was stunned for a moment.
"It's you!" Xie Long rubbed his brows, as if he didn't want to see Xie Yunxiao.
Xie Yunxiao said: "If you don't practice on the mountain, what will you do down the mountain?"
"Hmph, can you care?" When Xie Long saw Xie Yunxiao, he would feel inexplicably afraid. He himself felt strange. It was not like this before.
"Shopkeeper, waiter, come out and greet the customers!" Xie Long shouted.
"No need to yell, there is no one in this inn. You can find a room at any time. If you want to eat, you have to go to the kitchen and do it yourself!" Xie Yunxiao reminded you friendly.
Who is Xie Long? The second elder's son usually only has clothes to stretch out his hands and food to open his mouth, so how can he cook by himself?
After listening to Xie Yunxiao's words, he turned around and left without staying for a while.
Xie Yunxiao thought to himself, fortunately, the one who came was a brainless person.
"Xiao An, we have to leave too. If Xie Long and the others are here, the people from the inn will not come!"
Xie Yunxiao knew that Xie Long must have been sent over to investigate the truth.
Someone must have been watching secretly just now, and they obviously knew that something happened at the inn.
As for Xie Long, he was used as a gun by someone else, but he didn't know it yet.
Xie Yunxiao feels that sometimes, people are stupid and not smart, which seems to be a blessing. In this way, they can avoid a lot of worries, after all, they don’t think too much.
Xiao An nodded. He walked to the counter and moved Hong Lao'er's body over. With this force, Hong Lao'er's sleeves were accidentally torn.
"Hey, young master, look, there is a pattern on Hong Lao Er's hand!" Xiao An shouted.
He moved the body out, and from a distance, Xie Yunxiao saw it. It was a tattoo of a crescent moon.
The crescent moon is blood red, like a devil with an open mouth.
Xie Yunxiao just glanced at it, but felt a coldness invisibly, and his expression couldn't help but condense at that moment.
He didn't know what this red waning moon represented, but the coldness reflected that this was no ordinary tattoo, and Hong Laoer should have a special identity.
"This is not a disguise, but a human skin mask!" Xie Yunxiao bent down and pulled off the mask on Hong Laoer's face, revealing his original appearance.
Xiao An looked shocked and said: "I didn't expect this mask to be so extraordinary. When it is worn on the face, there is no flaw at all!"
After the words fell, he himself was stunned. Even he didn't notice it. Why did Xie Yunxiao notice it?
Xie Yunxiao ignored the shocked Xiao An, looked at the mask for a while, put it on Hong Laoer again, and said, "We can go back to work!"
Xiao An nodded, he carried Hong Laoer's body on his back, and went up the mountain with Xie Yunxiao overnight.
That night, Xie Yunxiao invited Xie Changfeng, Xie Cang and others out.
In the hall, everyone looked at Hong Laoer wearing a mask, with shock in their eyes.
As long as he is not a fool, he now understands that the seventh elder is the murderer.
"How could it be the seventh elder?" Xie Cang looked shocked.
In a big family like the Xie family, intrigues are inevitable, and it is extremely inappropriate to have someone you can trust.
The First Elder trusted the Seventh Elder, and the two were close friends and talked about everything.
"He is not the Seventh Elder!" Xie Yunxiao stepped forward, took off his mask, and continued: "Last night, he used special means to change his figure and avoid our investigation, but the palm on his back... There’s no way to erase it!”
After the words fell, Xie Yunxiao tore off Hong Laoer's clothes himself, and there was a palm print on his back, which was left by Xie Ming.
Xie Ming practices the Xie family's famous Fire Palm, and his injuries can be recognized at a glance.
"Who is he?" Xie Cang asked.
Xie Yunxiao said: "The shopkeeper of Honghu Tower, everyone calls him Hong Laoer. As for whether it is this name, it's hard to say!"
"What do you mean?" Xie Ming asked.
Xie Yunxiao moved Hong Laoer's arm away and said, "I don't know what this pattern means, but it should represent his identity!"
The elders came forward with curious eyes, but they were obviously not very familiar with the pattern.
The people of the Xie family spend most of their time cultivating on Jiuwen Mountain and are not as good as the world. It is not surprising that they do not know this.
But when Xie Changfeng and Xie Cang saw the pattern, their expressions changed drastically.
Seeing this situation, Xie Yunxiao narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that the two of them knew this pattern.
"Okay, Xie Yunxiao has proven that he is not the murderer of Xie Chuan, and the murderer has been brought to justice. This matter is over!" Xie Changfeng's voice echoed in the hall, releasing an indescribable majesty.
Xie Yunxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the first trouble after awakening his memory was solved for the time being.
After everyone left the hall, Xie Yunxiao and Xiao An left.
When I came out of the hall, I saw Xie Ming standing not far away, with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, you are finally cleared of suspicion!"
"I'll remember your favor!" Xie Yunxiao said.
Xie Ming waved his hand: "There is no need for this between you and me!"
He paused and invited Xie Yunxiao: "Why don't you go to my place for a drink?"
Xie Yunxiao shook his head: "It's late tonight, I should drink less in the future!"
Xie Ming laughed: "You were bitten by a snake once, but you have been afraid of well ropes for ten years!"
"It won't happen in ten years, but it will still have an impact in a short period of time!" Xie Yunxiao smiled bitterly.
"Okay, then I won't disturb your rest!" Xie Ming turned and left.
Back at Jingxinyuan, Xie Yunxiao arranged dinner. In this Jingxin Garden, only the two of them have been living there. As for the food, it is arranged by the kitchen, so Xiao An only needs to go and get it.
"Master, although we are fine, this matter is shrouded in fog and there are still many questions!" Xiao An said.
Xie Yunxiao said: "The trouble has been solved, as for the others..."
At this time, a sharp light flashed in Xie Yunxiao's eyes. Someone was plotting against him. If he didn't find out this potential harm, how could he feel at ease?
"Young Master, the First Elder and the head of the family changed their expressions immediately when they saw the bloody waning moon. They should know the secret of the bloody waning moon!" Xiao An said.
Xie Yunxiao restored the memory belonging to the thirteenth generation Gui Guzi, but in the memory belonging to Gui Guzi, there was nothing about the bloody waning moon.
As for the memory of promotion, it is obviously beyond the reach of certain levels. After all, he is a businessman who cannot practice.
"Just check it out and you'll find out!" Xie Yunxiao said.
The Xie family's library is divided into two categories, one is about exercises and other aspects of spiritual practice, and the other is historical and geographical notes.
The exercises are on the second floor of the library, and even Xie Yunxiao can't go there easily. As for the first floor of the library, Xiao An can check it out with Xie Yunxiao's sign.
It is not easy to check the vast amount of books. After hearing Xie Yunxiao's words, Xiao An's face fell instantly.
Xie Yunxiao smiled indifferently and came out of the yard. A gust of breeze blew and ripples hit his heart.
It's been a long time since I relaxed and had a good walk.
The moon is very round and bright tonight. Although the earth on earth is not as bright as it is during the day, the outline of the mountains and rivers can be clearly seen.
Xie Yunxiao walked out of the yard. He didn't go far when he saw a familiar figure walking this way.
"You must be curious about what the bloody waning moon represents!" Xie Chen had a slight smile on his face.
Xie Yunxiao's eyes flickered a few times and asked: "Since you came to me, you will definitely tell me!"
"Why are you so smart?" The smile on Xie Chen's face did not diminish. He paused and said, "Blood Moon Sect!"
