"It's just that there are many masters in Meizhuang. Can I escape without telling the four friends of Jiangnan? Will the four friends of Jiangnan find out that Ren Woxing has escaped? Will they get angry at me? A few months later, Ren Woxing came back and captured Meizhuang. , will he let me out at that time?" Xiang Yan thought about it and felt that the character of the Four Friends of Jiangnan was more reliable than Ren Woxing: "Now that I confess everything to the Four Friends of Jiangnan, I will have a narrow escape; if I wait, I will survive. After returning, it will most likely be a dead end."
Xiang Yan was worried for a while in the dark, and then remembered the star-absorbing technique in the dungeon. Then he crawled through the square hole and groped around on the iron plate. Sure enough, I found the star-absorbing technique engraved on the iron plate and wrote down the formulas one by one.
The next day, an old man with gray hair and wrinkles came to deliver food again. When he saw Xiang Yan standing outside, he screamed in fright, threw away the wooden plate, turned around and ran away. Xiang Yan smiled and ran out with the old man. The old man didn't seem to be practicing martial arts, so Xiang Yan took a few steps over and chased after him. The doors in the tunnel were all ajar. Xiang Yan ran all the way to the end of the tunnel and climbed up the stairs, with an iron plate above his head. Xiang Yan held up the iron plate, jumped up, and jumped out of the hole in the bed.
Suddenly, he heard someone behind him shouting: "Who are you? What are you doing down here?" Xiang Yan turned around in surprise and saw four friends from Jiangnan, each with their weapons drawn, surrounding him. Xiang Yan had no choice but to confess the cause and effect to his four friends in the south of the Yangtze River one by one, and waited for them to make excuses. After Xiang Yan finished speaking, an old man shouted and struck Xiang Yan with his sword. Another old man blocked it with his jade flute and shouted: "Second brother, what are you doing?"
The old man holding the sword said: "This boy joined forces with Xiang Wentian to let Ren go away, which has ruined the reputation of our four friends in the south of the Yangtze River. How can we let him live in the world?" The old man holding the flute sighed: "It was Xiang Wentian who rescued Ren. What does Wentian's design have to do with this child? Besides, Ren has escaped, so what's the use of killing this child?" He said to Xiang Yan, "Let's go!"
Xiang Yan broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly ran out of the village. As soon as I left the village, I suddenly remembered that one of the Four Friends in the South of the Yangtze River seemed to covet the Star Absorbing Technique. I thought: "Should I tell them the whereabouts of the Star Absorbing Technique? Forget it, let's not get into trouble. What if they decide to kill people because of the Star Absorbing Technique?" What should I do if I am silenced? In addition, although the Four Friends of Jiangnan let me go, it is not good for me to hang around in front of them all the time - what if they couldn't help but stab me to death after seeing me? How unjust would I be? "
He immediately chose a direction and hurried out of the city. Seeing that we are far away from Hangzhou, we are tired and very hungry. He was looking around to see where he could get some food. Suddenly, he heard a sweet voice calling from behind him: "Brother Yan." Xiang Yan looked back and saw a little beggar with disheveled hair and a dirty face. The little beggar had his hair tied up and his face was clean. It turned out to be Qu Feiyan.
Xiang Yan walked up to Qu Feiyan and asked with a smile: "Fei Fei, why are you dressed like this?" Qu Feiyan said: "The saint's men are looking for me! I can't let them find out." Xiang Yan said again: "Aren't you practicing in Songshan Mountain? Why are you here?"
Qu Feiyan felt quite uncomfortable for a while and said: "I want to steal the "Evil Sword Manual". I heard that Lin Zhennan understood the secret of the "Evil Sword Technique" and his martial arts improved by leaps and bounds. From a low-level mediocrity In one fell swoop, he jumped into the ranks of first-rate masters and destroyed the Qingcheng sect with a single sword. I had to practice "Five Poison Secrets" for at least ten years, but Lin Zhennan was originally just a mediocre swordsman who mastered the "Evil Sword Technique" After that, the Qingcheng Sect can be wiped out in just a few months, which shows the power of the 'Evil-Resisting Sword Technique', and I plan to use the 'Evil-Resisting Sword Technique' to take revenge."
After Qu Feiyan finished speaking, he looked at Xiang Yan with a look of self-abasement. Xiang Yan sighed in his heart and smiled at Qu Feiyan: "Even if you get the "Evil Sword Manual", you won't be able to practice it! I have seen the "Evil Sword Technique" before, and I gave Lin Zhennan the sword manual. His." Qu Feiyan's eyes lit up and he stared at Xiang Yan. Xiang Yan explained the cause and effect to Qu Feiyan one by one. Xiang Yan couldn't help but asked: "Lin Zhennan has practiced the 'Evil Sword Technique'?"
Qu Feiyan nodded, said "hmm", and said thoughtfully: "No wonder I heard that after Lin Zhennan arrived in Luoyang, he took in two concubines in less than a month. It turned out that he was doing it for himself. The palace is practicing sword preparation." He said excitedly: "If I can't practice it, I can find someone else to practice it. It's the same as asking someone else to destroy Songshan to avenge me when they master it."
Xiang Yan shook his head with a smile and said, "How can you guarantee that the person who practices the sword will definitely avenge you? What will you do if he learns it and ignores you? By the way, Zuo Lengchan is very good at martial arts and has practiced the "Evil Sword Technique" "People may not be able to beat Zuo Lengchan." Qu Feiyan looked extremely anxious and said: "I am a witch from the Demon Cult, a witch! I have a magic weapon like "The Secret Book of Five Poisons" in my hand, how can I know how to do it? Don’t have the means to control people? If one person can’t defeat Zuo Lengchan, can’t I find ten people to fight Zuo Lengchan?”
Xiang Yan frowned and said, "It's still not good. Those who are controlled by you want to get rid of your control. Either they kill Zuo Lengchan and you take the initiative to release them from control; or they hold you hostage and force you to release them." Their control. Which method do you think they will use?" Qu Feiyan said: "My deterrent effect on them is not as good as Zuo Lengchan's, I'm afraid they are more likely to bite me back." Xiang Yan said: "Yes! I think we should go back to Songshan first, and you can finish practicing the "Five Poison Secret Manual" first."
