"When the peach and plum blossoms bloom and the sycamore leaves fall, the peach and plum trees correspond to spring, and the sycamore trees correspond to autumn."
"When combining one sentence at the top and one sentence at the right, it doesn't mean that we only take half, but the top, bottom and left and right."
"Spring is above and autumn is below."
After Gu Xiaotian said goodbye to those children, he rushed to the Education Academy and expressed all his thoughts.
After that, he picked up the pen and wrote a big word "Qin" on the paper.
After hearing this, Leng Lingfeng couldn't help but nod. He had been thinking about what the top and right meant. It turned out to be so simple. He only blamed himself for making the problem too complicated.
These two poems are actually that simple, but they didn't think of this because both of them were thinking deeper.
If some casual words from a child hadn't reminded Gu Xiaotian today, it might have taken longer to decipher these two lines of poetry.
Gu Xiaotian smiled wryly at his fussiness, "It turns out the answer to the mystery has always been there."
However, the answer to the mystery has been solved, but there are still many things that are unclear.
What exactly does the word Qin represent?
Is the surname also the country name?
Gu Xiaotian thought about it carefully, among the people he knew, could anyone be associated with the word Qin?
Maybe not.
Leng Lingfeng's face was a little solemn. In the whole world, there were only a few people who could be equated with Qin Zi.
And, there is only one person.
However, this person appeared once before. At that time, the world was full of corpses and many, many people died.
Leng Lingfeng said solemnly: "If it is really him, I'm afraid there is a bigger conspiracy behind it."
Gu Xiaotian nodded silently.
He didn't pay too much attention to the answer to the mystery of these two lines of poetry yet. He knew that there was not only these two lines of poetry on that page, but also more content that he hadn't had time to decipher yet.
The topic returned to Xishu. The death of the Fifth Master also heralded the beginning of the battle of Xishu. However, the Leng family only told the people a seemingly reasonable explanation. As for the aftermath, there was still no sign of any trouble. .
Gu Xiaotian asked worriedly: "Is there any news from the Leng family?"
Leng Lingfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He has now clearly felt that the Leng family has completely ignored him. In the past, there would be some news that would be reported to him, but since Leng Ye's death, the head of the Leng family has deliberately kept the internal information of the Leng family away. It was hidden, and the only people who knew about it were his other brothers.
This also means that Patriarch Leng has found out that Leng Lingfeng is a ghost and prevents him from getting any more information. As for how to deal with it in the future, Patriarch Leng probably has other plans.
Gu Xiaotian sighed: "I didn't expect that you would be discovered so quickly after hiding for so long."
In fact, Gu Xiaotian still felt a little guilty in his heart. After all, this ghost had been lurking in Xishu for so long, but it was just because of Gu Xiaotian's appearance that the ghost couldn't hide at all.
Leng Lingfeng said nonchalantly: "Sooner or later, he will be found out. Instead of worrying all day long, it is better to come to the table early. Maybe this can also save the other two ghosts."
A trace of suspicion flashed across Gu Xiaotian's eyelids, and he didn't understand the meaning of Leng Lingfeng's words.
Although they are both ghosts, the positions of ghosts and ghosts are not necessarily the same. He sacrificed like this just to protect the other two ghosts. What good does it do to him?
Leng Lingfeng smiled and said: "Since they are all ghosts, even if their purposes are different, they are still the same at this moment."
…
…
Many people in Jinguan City have noticed that in recent days, the number of patrolling troops has doubled than before. Even entering and exiting the city must be strictly inspected. The original patrols only patrolled until the sun went down, but now Even in the dark, there are still people patrolling.
Although the Leng family did not make a clear statement, this action already expressed their stance.
Many people in the city have become more peaceful recently. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset. They will never stay outside for a moment longer, for fear that they will fall into a fight and get bloody.
Today's night is not very peaceful.
The bustling Jinguan City is so quiet.
Only the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded in the city.
There was also a carriage driving in the center of the queue. Judging from the style of the carriage, you already knew that it was the Leng family's carriage.
In front of an inn, the carriage and the team stopped.
The coachman turned back to the carriage and said respectfully: "Second Master, we're here."
In the carriage, the second master of the Leng family slowly got out of the carriage and looked at the inn with cold eyes.
In Xishu, it is not difficult to find Gu Xiaotian's residence at all. Gu Xiaotian lives here, and the Leng family has long known about it.
However, after the second master got off the carriage, he ordered: "Don't tell eldest brother about this matter."
The driver nodded repeatedly.
The second master calmly waved his hand, and at the same time, the people behind him immediately kicked open the door of the inn.
In the inn, the shopkeeper was still settling accounts at the counter. He was startled when he heard a bang. He quickly stood up and looked towards the door.
The second master slowly crossed the threshold, looked at the shopkeeper, and said in a cold tone: "Kill."
The shopkeeper was shocked and wanted to beg for mercy immediately. However, the second master's men did not give the shopkeeper this chance at all, and quickly wiped his neck with a knife.
The shopkeeper never figured out why he died until his death.
The waiter in the store was sleeping in the back kitchen. After hearing the noise, he got up and went outside the door. However, he saw the body of the shopkeeper and immediately screamed in fright.
The second master frowned, and there was wind at his feet. He ducked in front of the waiter and covered the waiter's face with a big hand. Then he squeezed hard, and the waiter's head exploded like an exploding watermelon. Open, red and white scattered all over the floor.
Upstairs in the guest room, Gu Xiaotian heard clearly the sound of the waiter's voice. He quickly opened the door and happened to witness the scene where the second master of the Leng family killed the waiter.
The inn was not that big, with only the shopkeeper and the waiter. The second master looked up at the stairs, waved his hand, and motioned for all his men to go upstairs.
The purpose of his visit was very clear.
kill!
In the Leng family, this second master is famous for being cruel and ruthless. Almost everyone in the Leng family is very afraid of this second master. Everyone who works under him is also cautious and walks on thin ice.
Once upon a time, a maid accidentally spilled water at the second master's door. When the second master saw it, she pushed her into the water and drowned her alive.
There are many more things like this, all of which prove that all the second master can think about is killing.
The second master's order is absolute, and only the current head of the Leng family can overpower the second master. The second master will not listen to a word of what others say.
The second master's men quickly went up the stairs, but as soon as they stepped onto the second floor, the first person immediately felt a qi force in front of him. Before he could react, the qi force had already reached him. In front of him, it hit him.
The person in the head was hit like this, and his figure immediately fell backward uncontrollably, falling down the stairs, and at the same time brought down many people who were still going upstairs.
There were a group of people lying on the stairs in an instant, and ouch sounds came one after another.
The second master looked at the stairs with a fierce look. On the stairs, there were already strands of sword intent floating out from the top.
Looking at the people lying scattered on the stairs, the second master tapped his toes, then took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it from his mouth.
A qi machine floated out slowly and hit the wisps of sword qi.
That qi machine didn't seem to be strong, but the moment it hit the sword qi, it exploded instantly with a loud bang.
The stairs had begun to tremble uncontrollably, as if they would collapse at any time.
The second master took three steps at a time, rushed towards the top of the stairs, and punched forward.
Gu Xiaotian was slightly startled, then quickly swept back, opened his body, faced the strong fist wind, and at the same time retaliated with a sword and handed out the sword.
The second master kept punching, and his energy had reached its peak in an instant. He kept roaring, as if he wanted to eat Gu Xiaotian alive.
Gu Xiaotian felt an invisible pressure. Every time the second master punched, the force would increase by three points. After careful calculation, this was already the sixth punch that the second master had thrown, and the seventh punch that followed, The strength is still increasing.
Gu Xiaotian frowned slightly.
Where are his limits?
If the second master is allowed to keep punching like this, this inn may be smashed to pieces by the second master.
The eighth punch has arrived, and the roar of the tiger can be faintly heard from this punch.
A strong and powerful wind blew towards Gu Xiaotian.
Gu Xiaotian, who kept moving backwards, had reached the end of the second floor. There was a wall behind him and he could no longer take a step back.
Gu Xiaotian gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and held out a sword towards the strong wind.
Behind him, a bright sword light has been aroused, and his own sword energy is also increasing continuously. Countless sword energy slowly flows out of his body and rushes towards the strong wind.
Gu Xiaotian couldn't figure out where Er Ye's limit was, so he didn't dare to show any slights this time.
If he cannot ensure that he defeats the Second Master, he will most likely fall into trouble or even die.
The two collided, causing heaven and earth to tremble.
The entire inn had begun to shake. The two people had strong energy and sword intent, and the wall behind Gu Xiaotian had also been blasted to pieces.
Smoke and dust filled the air, and their figures were both blurred in the smoke.
Hao Hao, Xiao Yinyin and others who were also in the inn had been arranged by Gu Xiaotian to leave early. Because Junior Brother Ziyang was still in a coma, they naturally had to be protected along the way.
Now Gu Xiaotian is in an isolated and helpless situation.
When the smoke and dust dispersed, the second master was suddenly shocked. Gu Xiaotian was no longer where he was.
The second master quickly moved out of the way, just in time to avoid a sword coming from behind.
Gu Xiaotian cursed secretly in his heart and felt sorry for this. In the smoke and dust, he deliberately put away his breath, climbed out from behind the broken wall, and went around the back of the second master. He wanted to backstab him, but he didn't. Thinking that the second master is so alert.
The second master reached out and grabbed it, just holding it on the edge of Wufeng.
Then, he secretly exerted his strength, ignoring the blood-soaked palms that had been scratched by the edgeless sword, but looked indifferent.
A fire-like breath spread from the blade to the hilt. Gu Xiaotian's hand began to tremble slightly, and the tiger's mouth was already aching.
But neither of them let go. They both knew that whoever let go first would lose the battle first.
When the two were in a stalemate, a long knife suddenly appeared in front of them. Their pupils shrank suddenly, and they both wanted to retreat. They didn't know who the knife would be swung at.
The knife was closest to Gu Xiaotian, but at the moment it was about to touch, it suddenly turned around and slashed at Er Ye.
The second master had no choice but to quickly let go of the hand that had been holding the sword blade and step back.
When Gu Xiaotian saw the owner of the knife clearly, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.
"You came just in time."
The person coming is none other than Xu Ji!
Xu Ji said calmly: "I said that as soon as the matter in Beihuang is over, I will come to Xishu."
The second master looked at Xu Ji and frowned slightly.
This was completely unexpected.
The second master asked: "Beihuang is also coming to get involved?"
Xu Ji's eyes were firm, he held the knife tightly in his hand and said nothing.
The second master sneered: "Since Beihuang is coming to interfere with Xishu's affairs, there is no need to go back."
Afterwards, he took out a flare from his pocket, pulled it out, and raised it into the air.
The flare fireworks looked so bright in the dark night sky.
Some people died, but not completely...
