A young Taoist priest and two older Taoist priests were at the foot of Laojun Mountain.
An older Taoist priest asked: "Junior brother, are you sure there is any abnormal movement in the Xunfeng Formation?"
The young Taoist priest replied: "I am sure that I was studying the formation in the formation support room in the temple. When I heard the strange movement of the Xunfeng formation eye, I went to report it to the master."
The older Taoist priest said: "But there is no one at the foot of our mountain! Everyone in the world knows that we are too clear to visit at night. So, could it be a deer, monkey or something that got in? Formation?"
The young Taoist priest checked nearby, squatted on the ground and took a closer look, pointing to the horse hoof prints on the ground and said: "It seems that someone has indeed been here. However, they stayed for a short time and then left."
The older Taoist priest asked: "Who could it be?"
The young Taoist priest stood up and said, "I don't know. Let's go back and return to Master first."
"Junior Brother Bingqiang, aren't you annoyed that you study formations every day?"
"It's okay, the formation is so interesting!" The three of them chatted and walked up the mountain.
After Li Yu fell off the cliff, he held the secret book tightly in his left hand, while his right hand kept looking for gaps in the rocks of the mountain. But Li Yu fell very fast. Every time he stretched out his hand towards the mountain, it would be bounced away. The burning pain in his right hand seemed to be the mountain reminding Li Yu not to try to get closer. With the Lanxin dagger on his waist, a cry of "Little Master!" came out. Li Yu just realized the dagger on his waist. He quickly pulled out the dagger on his waist and stabbed it into the mountain. The dagger pierced deeply. In the mountain, although it was still falling downwards, the speed gradually slowed down due to the dagger piercing into the mountain. Li Yu gritted his teeth, his right arm was in pain as if it had been torn apart, but Li Yu still held the dagger tightly, knowing that this was his only hope to survive. Li Yu stretched out his left hand holding the secret book and held the dagger tightly. After an unknown amount of time, Li Yu finally slowly stopped in the mountain. At this time, Li Yu held the dagger in both hands, his flushed face was covered with sweat, his legs were hanging in the air, his consciousness was blurred, and he lowered his head and felt like he was suffocating. Lan Xin's dagger sent out a hint of warmth, slowly awakening Li Yu's consciousness. Li Yu slowly put the secret book in his left hand into his arms and kicked his legs towards the mountain, looking for rocks to step on.
Fortunately, the road is boundless, and Li Yu stepped on a protruding rock, which was just right for him to stand on. Li Yu moved his body bit by bit to stand on the rock. After standing firm, Li Yu suddenly felt that even standing was so comfortable. Li Yu wanted to use Qigong to heal his injuries, but the pain all over his body prevented him from gathering his internal strength. Moreover, there is still a very serious problem now, what should I do now. Li Yu looked up and saw the dark mountains and starry sky, then lowered his head and looked down at the bottomless abyss. Li Yu swallowed. When hesitating, Lan Xin controlled Li Yu's hand with the dagger and stabbed it upwards to the original position! Li Yu swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and said weakly: "Old man, do you want me to climb up?" Lan Xin stabbed upward with the dagger again, and Li Yu's arm was now fully raised. Li Yu hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, old man! Slow down!"
In this way, Li Yu used his hands and feet, holding a dagger, to climb up little by little. After every few climbs, you have to take a break. The morning sun rises behind Li Yu, and the warm sunshine shines on Li Yu's body, as if giving Li Yu a little encouragement. Li Yu looked up, and the end was right in front of him. When Li Yu saw the finish line, he gritted his teeth, mustered up all his strength, and climbed up desperately, muttering intermittently: "Even if I climb up and have people kill me, I will admit it!"
Li Yu finally climbed up. There was no one on the cliff, but the traces of the fight last night were still vaguely visible. Li Yu dragged his tired body, his eyes blurred, and he staggered forward bit by bit, but now he was like a soft-footed shrimp, his feet didn't obey him at all, and his feet were less than ten feet tall. During the journey, Li Yu felt as if he had walked for a long time. After walking to a tree, Li Yu held onto the tree, then turned around, leaned his back against the tree, sat down, dropped the dagger, and fell into a deep sleep.
A carriage was running fast. In the carriage, Zhao Shu said to Li Zhentian: "Master, I will go to Jiangmen League in a while."
Li Zhentian looked solemn and said: "Well, we are almost arriving in Luoyang now. When we get to the town ahead to rest, you and I will separate."
Zhao Shu blamed himself: "Back then, if I had not been angered by the other party and stayed by my wife's side, my wife would not have died."
Li Zhentian said earnestly: "It's been so many years, you don't have to blame yourself so much. Cherish the people in front of you, Jian Xin has been waiting for you."
Zhao Shu said: "Originally, my wife and I were the ones who made it possible for Jian Xin, but! If it weren't for me, my wife would not have died. How could I have the dignity to marry Jian Xin? Only by finding out the murderer can I bring peace to Jian Xin, his wife, and their family." Yu'er gives an explanation!"
Li Zhentian sighed and said: "That incident was not caused by you alone. It was also my fault back then. That's all. After you go to Jiangmen Alliance, if they have any new clues, remember to come back and tell me immediately. "Zhao Shu nodded.
The carriage reached the town and stopped to replenish supplies. Zhao Shu rode a fast horse and ran towards the capital. Li Zhentian stayed alone in the carriage, recalling what happened that year.
At that time, Li Zhentian sighed after watching his son Li Yu leave. Then the coffin was opened, and everyone saw Ouyang Lan lying quietly in the coffin, with a smile on her lips.
After Liu Zhan saw Ouyang Lan, his heart was as sharp as a knife, and he said to Li Zhentian word by word: "Do you still remember how you promised your adoptive father back then?"
Li Zhentian lowered his head and said, "I promised my father-in-law that even if I die, I will protect Lan'er throughout my life."
Liu Zhan said: "But now, Lan Mei is lying quietly inside, and you are still alive and well!" A strong cold air filled the air.
"Liu Zhan!"
"Brother Zhan!"
Han Ji and Zhao Yunkai shouted to Liu Zhan together. Liu Zhan dispersed the cold air around his body and stood with his back turned.
Han Jidao: "What was the cause of sister Ouyang's death?"
Li Zhentian replied: "One sword pierced the chest and died."
Han Ji nodded and said, "Let's go! Let's go find Zhao Shu and ask about the situation at that time."
The group of people walked to Zhao Shu's room. Zhao Shu's door was locked. They saw Jian Xin holding food in his hand and calling the door.
Zhao Yun drove over and asked, "Isn't Zhao Shu in the room?"
Jian Xin shook his head, his face full of frustration, and said, "In the room! He has been in the room all day and night, without even drinking a drop of water!"
Han Ji knocked on the door, "Zhao Shu! Zhao Shu! It's me! You, Brother Han!"
After a while, the door opened, and Zhao Shu greeted everyone with fists in his arms, "Brother Han, Leader Liu, Princess, and the owner of the village."
Jian Xin quickly walked in with the food and said, "Zhao Shu, please eat something!"
Zhao Shu said: "Thank you, I'm not hungry."
Han Ji said: "Brother Zhao, you can't do this! If you starve to death, who should we ask about the situation at that time?"
Zhao Shu tilted his head and said, "It's all because of me, it's all my fault!"
"Brother Zhao, don't rush to admit your mistake. First tell me what happened at that time!"
Zhao Shu slowly recounted the situation at that time, and everyone looked solemn after hearing this. Han Jidao: "In other words, the leader was once Wang Jien's subordinate, and he knew what happened to you back then."
Zhao Shu nodded and said: "I was so angry at that incident that I raised my knife to kill the man, but I was trapped. That's why I didn't protect my wife and the others! It's all because of me!"
Han Ji comforted him: "Okay, Zhao Shu. You were also forced to do what happened back then."
Liu Zhan said angrily: "I didn't expect so many things would happen after Wang Jien died!"
Han Jidao: "A centipede insect is dead but not stiff. Wang Jien was so powerful back then, so it's not surprising that he had a few loyal subordinates who wanted revenge. However, I have two questions. First, if they really want revenge, what should they do best?" The one I’m looking for is Liu Zhan! Secondly, who can trap you, Zhao Shu? Are those people very skilled in martial arts?”
Zhao Shu said: "The martial arts are not high, but they use the Four Saints Xuanwu Formation!"
After hearing this, Liu Zhan said in shock: "It's impossible! The Four Holy Sects were destroyed by Brother Chengyong back then!"
Han Ji said: "The Four Holy Sects are gone, but that doesn't mean their martial arts is gone?" Han Ji sneered and said, "It seems they arranged it very carefully."
Zhao Shu wondered: "Brother Han, what do you mean?"
After thinking about it, Han Ji said: "Now it's basically clear. This time Ouyang's death was a planned killing. Zhentian, you, Zhao Shu, and even Liu Zhan were all plotted by that person. .”
Liu Zhan was a little surprised and said: "And me?"
Han Ji said: "Didn't you and Zhentian fight just now? If you were not careful, you two would probably die together. Even if you don't die together, if either of you dies, his goal will be achieved."
Liu Zhan looked sideways at Li Zhentian and said, "He attacked me as soon as we met!"
Han Ji chuckled lightly and said, "Why are you here in such a hurry? If not because I know you, would I and the princess have to rush after you? If Zhentian didn't take action, then you must be the first to take action, right? !”
Liu Zhan said unconvinced: "He did something wrong and deserves to be beaten to death!"
Zhao Yunkai walked over and took Liu Zhan's hand and said, "Okay, Brother Zhan, whether it's you or Zhentian, if something happens to you two, wouldn't it be someone else's fault?"
Liu Zhan stood silent. Li Zhentian cupped his fists and apologized to Liu Zhan: "Brother Liu, it's all my fault. I hope you can forgive me, Brother Liu."
Liu Zhan said contemptuously: "There is no need to apologize to me. The person lying in the coffin in the hall is the one you should apologize to most!"
After listening to Han Ji's analysis, Zhao Shu became excited, "I'm going to the scene now to see if there must be any clues! I want to find out who that person is! I want to kill him! I want to kill him!"
Han Ji pressed Zhao Shu's shoulders with both hands and said, "You have a good meal and then have a good rest! Tomorrow, I will go with you to have a look! Remember, Sister Ouyang's revenge has not been avenged, you can't die like this!" Zhao After listening to Han Ji's words, Shu sat at the table and ate the food with big mouthfuls.
Li Zhentian said: "Brother Han, Brother Liu, princess, let me have someone arrange guest rooms for you!"
Liu Zhan said angrily: "No, I don't live here!" Then he turned and walked out of the door.
As soon as Liu Zhan left, Yun Kai also said goodbye and then went to chase Liu Zhan.
Han Ji said to Li Zhentian: "Zhentian, I know what you are thinking now! But you can't die. Not only do you want to avenge Ouyang sister, you also have two children, you also have your family business, What will they do if you die?" Han Ji patted Li Zhentian on the shoulder and left with Liu Zhan and the others.
That night, only Zhao Yunkai and Han Ji knew that Liu Zhan was extremely drunk and cried in grief, because only Han Ji and Zhao Yunkai knew that Ouyang Lan was the first girl Liu Zhan liked back then.
