In the early morning, the rain gradually became lighter and drizzled.
Su Jing changed into plain clothes, put on her bamboo hat and carried her sword as she walked out of the room, looked up at the sky, opened her umbrella and walked out.
Chang Yu stood under the gatehouse with his hands behind his back, looking at the misty river in front of the door and the houses with green smoke curling up not far away. Su Jing passed him by without saying a word.
"Be careful on the road." Chang Yu looked at her back and said lightly.
Sujing stopped and looked back: "We have broken into the dragon's pond and tiger's den, just kill the old man."
"How about I give you a loudspeaker and let the whole city know that you are going to kill someone?" Chang Yu rolled his eyes and chuckled plainly: "After the matter is completed, five hundred taels of silver."
"Why don't you go and grab it?" Chang Yu pouted.
"I'm robbing you, I'm robbing you!" Sujing snorted, turned and left.
Chang Yu sighed and shook his head, and Chen Ruxin came from behind: "Shopkeeper, whatever Su Jing can do, my subordinates can do it for free!"
"She is more professional." Chang Yu turned around and entered the yard: "And she needs something to do. If she is too idle, she will be bored."
A smile appeared on Qing Yi's lips after walking more than ten steps. This boy now knew he cared about him.
Suddenly I felt warm in my heart, and my steps became much lighter. Unconsciously, I left the city and arrived at the riverside pier, but saw very few people at the ferry.
"It rained heavily last night and the water in the river swelled. It's not suitable to cross the river."
A boatman explained, Su Jing didn't say anything, and took a piece of broken silver. The boatman stopped talking and hurriedly rowed the boat.
Li Muxian slept late last night and drank too much. He got up late this morning. When he got up, he saw that the rain had not stopped, so he lay down again, but he couldn't fall asleep, so he sat cross-legged and meditated. Suddenly he opened his eyes suddenly His eyes and whole body were trembling.
"Hey, Taoist Priest, why are you in such a hurry?" Chen Suole, who had just returned from outside, was bumped into by Li Muchian in the yard.
"Go out to do something." Li Muchian didn't rush out. "If the shopkeeper asks, he will say that I have gone to fix a leak."
Chen Suole raised his head and looked at the sky: "Fix the leak? There was a leak today, can you fix it?"
Li Muxian led the horse out of the yard, got on it and headed straight to Guishan in the rain.
He rushed to King Yu's palace in one breath and was already soaked to the skin. Seeing this, the Taoist priest in the temple hurried forward to greet him: "Fellow Taoist, you are in such a hurry..."
"Where is Huang Fugui?" Li Muxian asked quickly without bothering to talk nonsense with him.
"Feeding geese in the backyard."
King Yu's palace is not big, with two courtyards, a front hall and a back house. In the back yard, there is a vegetable patch for the Taoist priests, and they also raise some poultry in the corner. Since Huang Taoist came to the Taoist temple, he has been responsible for doing these chores, working diligently and without complaint.
Huang Fugui was a little surprised when he saw Li Muchian, and then smiled lightly: "You are much smarter than I thought."
"So, it's you."
Huang Fugui put down his work, washed his hands in the water tank next to him, then turned and walked into the house, making an invitation gesture: "Come in and have a cup of tea to warm yourself."
Li Muxian stood outside in the rain and did not go in. He stared at Huang Fugui and said, "A certain sect leader of the remaining three sects or some other evil spirit?"
Huang Fugui, who was about to enter the room, heard this, leaned against the door frame and chuckled: "What fellow Taoist is saying, I can't understand."
Li Muxian was secretly shocked. Huang Fugui's temperament had changed drastically without him realizing it. His original submissiveness had disappeared, and the aura that followed was so strong that he felt uncomfortable: "Since you have lost your appearance, why don't you admit it openly?" ”.
"What do you recognize?" Huang Fugui smiled faintly and flicked the water line flowing from the eaves with his fingers. Li Muchian narrowed his eyes.
"Before, Pindao has always been puzzled as to why the shopkeeper was attacked as soon as he arrived at Xiaogan. Even if the divine strategy has the power to reach the sky and the earth, it is impossible to reach the place so quickly, and mobilize the manpower so quickly to attack and kill accurately. !”
"Oh, then you have figured it out now? How did you figure it out?" Huang Fugui smiled at the corner of his mouth, still flicking the water line, and the distance it popped up became farther and farther each time.
"Until last night, the shopkeeper said that the head of the Dong Sect of Shence was kidnapped on the way." Li Muxian snorted. The people in the yamen were secretive and cautious in their work, and the escorts were all masters, so they could be intercepted. , Pindao just sighed at that time, Shence is really powerful... But this morning, Pindao suddenly thought of a detail. "As he spoke, he stared at Huang Fuguidao,
"It was a secret that the head of the Dong Sect was captured and imprisoned in the Yamen of Yanzhou Prefecture. Even Pindao didn't know about it. They mentioned it when they were having dinner at the Xiaogan City Inn that day. At that time, you were the only outsider in the yard! "
Humph, Huang Fugui smiled, said nothing, and looked a little disdainful.
"Things cannot be left to chance. If there are too many coincidences, it will arouse suspicion!" Li Muchian's eyes flashed: "Should you catch him without hesitation, or should you see the Yellow River first?"
The zodiac man sighed: "Since you are already suspicious, why do you come here alone?"
"Because I haven't decided yet, and I didn't expect you to be such a cheerful person." Li Muchian smiled lightly: "The other thing is that Pindao is confident that he can keep you!"
"Although I don't know what fellow Taoist is talking about, I can tell you that being too confident is ignorance." As Taoist Huang spoke, he flicked his finger again, and the water line left on the eaves turned into a string of water droplets. The strong wind went straight to Li Muchian's face.
Li Muxian was shocked that this person was so domineering. He shook the dust in his hand and the goddess scattered the flowers to sweep away the water droplets. The zodiac man exclaimed: "Looking at you, you are usually a scoundrel, but you actually have something in your hand."
"Hmph, Taoist Master, I have traveled all over the country and never seen any kind of monsters. Why should I be afraid of you?" Li Muxian pulled out the long sword from behind and said, "I will accept you today!"
"Really, it's up to you?" Huang Daoren chuckled, flicked his fingers, and stabbed Li Muxian in a row with several arrows made of water droplets. Li Muxian was horrified. He slashed with his sword and retreated repeatedly. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and struck with his sword. He pointed at the zodiac man and cursed: "Shameless! He used such despicable means."
The Yellow Taoist glanced at the iron cylinder and the spring in his hand: "Are you shameless? The poor Taoist didn't feed him poison."
"It's a waste of your skills as a Taoist that you don't dare to fight with a poor Taoist in such a rogue way!" Li Muchian's face turned pale and he endured the severe pain as he cursed. Huang Taoist didn't worry, and slowly walked up to him: "I really want to I have learned a lesson from you, but today is not the right time, so it is better to fight quickly." As he said that, without seeing him reaching out, the long sword in Li Muxian's hand came into his hand, and the tip of the sword was pointed directly at Li Muxian's throat: "Nianwu and other clansmen, let you die in this Being struck by your own sword is the last thing you can do as a Taoist friend."
"What are you doing?" At this moment, a Taoist exclaimed. Taoist Huang raised his hand, and a steel needle shot out of the machine spring in his hand hit the Taoist in the forehead. He fell straight to the ground and died. Li Muchian's crown and canthus cracked: "You are killing innocent people indiscriminately." , From now on, I will kill you even to the end of the world."
Huang Daoren chuckled: "It's a pity that you don't have a chance, fellow Taoist." As he said this, his face darkened: "Pin Taoist said that I can do whatever I want no matter where I go, no one can stop me or keep me..."
Before he finished speaking, a murderous aura hit the sky, and a sword struck down in the air with the power of thunder. Huang Daoren's expression changed drastically, and he swung his sword to block and retreated. He heard dozens of jingling sounds, and Huang Daoren retreated for more than a dozen times. Stepping forward, he glanced at the broken sword in his hand and then at the torn Taoist robe on his chest, and then slowly looked at the burly man next to Li Muchian: "Good sword, good sword skills!" But he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what are you afraid of? , the reason why he attacked Li Muxian secretly was because he was afraid that the other party would have helpers.
Wuzhong Jiejie sneered: "I said you can't leave today!"
"I have heard for a long time that there is a man in the world who is as skilled as a swordsman and has been crowned as the Sword Sage. He must be your Excellency!" Huang Daoren sighed, but Li Muxian exclaimed, be careful... At the last moment, Wuzhong struck out with his sword, and there was only a "ding" sound. Bang, the sneak attack steel needle was blocked by him.
"If you're such an awesome guy, if you only have this ability, not only will you not be able to leave today, you will have to stay here!" Wuzhong was not worried about being attacked by a sneak attack, but asked Li Muchian next to him in a low voice: "But you can still hold on!"
Although the two of them don't usually deal with each other, they are always of the same mind when dealing with outsiders!
"His steel needle was a few inches off, so he probably won't die," Li Muchian said with pain.
"If that's the case, then I'll take care of this bullshit..." Wu Zhong rushed over with a knife, Li Muchian:...you can't call it good!
