You are a lonely soul and I am a wild ghost

was attacked.
Several cold lights flashed in the night, and Qi An got low, and managed to shake off the murderous concealed weapons, then got off his horse, and stabbed the night walker who was about to attack from behind with his backhand in the neck.
The man let out a miserable howl, and the blood flowed like a gush in an instant, and the blood spurted out far away, reflecting the snow-white sword body red, and the sharp blood light flickered,
At this moment, a hand suddenly sprang out from behind, and it was about to reach Qi An's neck. Qi An turned away, shook off the man's hand, and stabbed the man's heart fiercely.
But when the knife went down, the man seemed to be okay, and he raised his hand and was about to chop Qi An's head.After all, Qi An crawled out of the pile of dead people, no matter how frightening things are, it is difficult to shock him, he reacted very quickly and kicked aside, and in a blink of an eye, he walked around the man's back, and then chopped the knife Cut it off, cut off the man's head.
And this person didn't bleed when his head fell off, only a little black scum burst out, followed by a pungent rancid stench.
WTF?
Qi An didn't have time to think about it, and there were several black shadows attacking him. Although these people moved quickly, they always felt very stiff, as if their joints were rusted.Some of the legs were as stretched as chopsticks, and the "hands" holding the chopsticks were extremely flexible, making chopsticks like flying.
He turned around and dodged a few times. These people's fists and feet were extremely heavy, as if they were filled with lead, but they could feel a sharp palm wind just passing by their ears.
Who on earth would sneak up on him in the middle of the night?Could it be the pursuers sent by the capital?
But everyone in the world knew that he was "dead". The emperor personally examined the "corpse". King Da'an had such a vast land, and if he hid in the rivers and lakes, no one knew that he was the King of Beisu.And if the people in the capital really found out, the posture would never be so shabby, and it would never find that kind of weird killer that makes people feel cold.
No one knows better than him what method the emperor's family used to kill people.
He specially shaved the neck, and seeing that those "chopstick-legged" brothers couldn't hold it anymore, several people jumped out of the grass.Judging by the movements of these people, they are not "chopstick legs". Not only are they not stiff, but they are also extremely flexible and swift, and they move towards Qi An in all directions.
Dazzling in the darkness, Qi An couldn't deal with it. In a hurry, he turned around and slashed, caught a little gap and quickly jumped out of the encirclement. With a sudden step on the sole of his foot, he jumped to the side of them, and then ran away without hesitation.
If you can't beat it, then withdraw!
But those people seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and several people suddenly rushed out in front of Qi An, and quickly teamed up with the people chasing him to surround him.
A person behind Qi An shouted: "Catch him alive!"
Qi An couldn't help thinking, who did he provoke?
So, a dozen "chopstick-legged" brothers rushed towards him like the wind again.
Just as Qi An set up the knife, a strong smell came from nowhere, and the pair of "chopsticks" immediately stopped moving.
Before Qi An could see clearly, he felt a breeze behind him, and a person whispered in his ear: "Let me do it."
Qi An only felt that the voice was familiar, and turned his head instinctively, and bumped into a pair of extremely bright eyes, and this pair of eyes was different from ordinary people in that the pair of pupils were surprisingly large.
☆, counter attack
"You..." Qi An opened his mouth in surprise.
blind?
Qi An didn't have time to think about the fact that this fake blind man "exposed his true form", he pushed back violently, staggered a few times unsteadily, and a phantom flashed in front of his eyes, swipe from the side of his head However, a scream came from behind.
Qi An glanced back, only to see that the person who originally planned to attack him fell to the ground, with a trace of blood oozing from between his brows, and a very thin cold light flashed above his head.
The area between the eyebrows that was stabbed quickly turned black, and began to fester at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Qi An couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
And the people who had besieged him seemed to be very afraid of the blind man, they stared at each other, not knowing whether to withdraw or not.
The blind man didn't make any more moves, and blew a whistle with a strange tone. The "chopstick legs" that were about to be aimed at them froze for a moment, and there was a strange noise in their throats, and then turned around in a daze.
The people around them visibly panicked, and a man in black yelled anxiously: "Zhai Zifeng!"
The blind man was unmoved, and blew his whistle again.
Several "chopstick legs" let out a sharp howl, and their originally stiff faces twisted violently, and they rushed towards those people.
The man in black at the head saw that the situation was not right, looked left and right, and hurriedly shouted: "Let's go!"
These people act straightforwardly, dodge if they can't win, don't procrastinate at all, and run away in the blink of an eye.
Zhai Zifeng didn't chase after him, turned around and walked towards Qi An: "Are you okay?"
Looking back at the man in black who was stabbed by the poisonous needle, most of his face had been festered from the center of his eyebrows, and the rotting skin and flesh fell down sticky and black, and it looked like half of his head had collapsed in.
Qi An's scalp tingled, and then he realized that Zhai Zifeng was asking him something, then he shook his head and gave him a strange look.
Of course Zhai Zifeng knew what he was thinking, so he just smiled and looked him up and down: "Those things didn't bite you, did they?"
Countless questions were in his heart, making Qi An's mind into a mess. He couldn't help thinking, who is this blind man who appeared out of nowhere?And why did those men in black attack him?
He still remembered what those people said to "catch him alive". Who exactly wanted to catch him?
Those people don't look like people from the imperial city, and Qi An doesn't remember that he had a feud with the Jianghu people, so he must have found the wrong person, right?
"No." Qi An said briefly, backed away calmly, and opened up a little distance without any trace, "Just now... Thank you for your help."
No matter how strong the curiosity in his heart was, Qi An still didn't want to make any troubles, at worst, he would go directly south. No matter how unwilling he was to go to southern Xinjiang, he didn't want to be caught up in these messy things.
Qi An thought he was covering it up very well, but Zhai Zifeng still caught the taboo flashing in his eyes very sensitively.Zhai Zifeng didn't react at all, but still grinned at him: "You're welcome."
Qi An didn't intend to be too polite to him at all, and after much deliberation, he didn't have anything else to say, he just hoped to leave this inexplicable ghost place quickly, so he said cheekily: "Mr. Thank you very much.”
Of course, he didn't mean goodbye.
Zhai Zifeng looked at the back of him leaving resolutely, suddenly smiled, and asked loudly: "How does Mr. Wu plan to thank you?!"
Qi An slipped his foot and looked back at him in disbelief. Just as he was about to say something casually and leave quickly, the blind man who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic shouted: "How about you promise yourself?!"
Qi An almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, his heart was ups and downs, and it took nearly 30 years of cultivation to suppress the evil fire in his heart.
Don't worry about it, don't worry about it with idiots.
He slowly pulled out an extremely terrifying smile, and said politely: "There will be a period later."
After saying that, he turned to look for his horse.After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered that he jumped off his horse in the scuffle just now. At this time, the bobbing mongrel must have gone "hidden in the world" long ago.
Qi An spat, and said in his heart that it's really fucking unlucky to even drink water between his teeth.
Zhai Zifeng really found it funny, couldn't help but smile, and joked very unkindly: "Your horse also has a 'soon' with you."
Qi An really couldn't bear the pent-up anger in his dantian, so he turned around and gave him a vicious look.
Zhai Zifeng shrugged, looked at him with blinking strange eyes, and comforted him cautiously: "It's okay, my mule is still there."
As he spoke, he pointed to a mule tied to a tree with a crooked neck not far away. The mule seemed to be spiritually connected and knew that someone was talking about it.
Qi An secretly rolled his eyes, and said no, no one cares about your mule.
Zhai Zifeng saw that Qi An had nothing to do, so he stuck up to Qi An shamelessly, put his arm on his shoulder in a familiar way, and put his arm around him very naturally: "I said you, don't rush away .Those people are definitely after you, and it's not safe for you to wander around by yourself..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi An suddenly asked back: "Do you know where they came from?"
Zhai Zifeng was stunned for a moment, apparently he didn't expect him to ask this suddenly: "I thought you wouldn't want to know."
Qi An thought to himself, he really didn't want to know, but he didn't know that he had long been used to the routine of "knowing yourself and knowing the enemy", so he always felt uneasy if he forced himself to be confused like this.
He ignored Zhai Zifeng's words, and said to himself: "I just heard them calling your name...is that your real name?"
Zhai Zifeng nodded: "Yes."
Qi An was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, and suddenly asked: "The wind of the wind and rain?"
Zhai Zifeng was stunned for a moment, and responded, "What's wrong with Maple Leaf's Feng?"
Qi An shook his head: "Nothing."
Seeing that he stopped talking, Zhai Zifeng explained to himself: "They are from Yinyang Mountain."
"Yinyang Mountain?" Qi An felt that the name was familiar. Although he had never set foot in the rivers and lakes, he had heard of some famous sects. "The one who makes medicine and refines Gu?"
"Yes." Zhai Zifeng nodded, "They're after you."
Qi An snorted softly, and said with a smile: "I'm a homeless man, I haven't provoked anyone, why are you staring at me?"
The smile on Zhai Zifeng's face gradually subsided, and a pair of strange black pupils stared at him deeply. After a long time, he sighed as if giving up, and said, "I can't tell at the moment, is there any place you want to go?"
Qi An originally wanted to talk about Nanjiang, but he couldn't get the words out of his mouth. In the end, he lingered on the root of his tongue for a while, but he swallowed it back, and said instead: "There is nowhere to go."
Zhai Zifeng was speechless, and scratched the back of his head irritably.
Looking at his unusually large pupils, Qi An gradually understood why he wears black cloth strips during the day—this kind of eyes is very similar to a cat's eyes at night, they are too sensitive to light, so they don't wear black cloth strips during the day. Bu, I'm afraid I'm really blind.
Qi An has always claimed to be well-informed, but he has never heard of such an eye disease.
After a while, Qi An suddenly said, "Do you know where Yinyang Mountain is?"
Zhai Zifeng almost choked on his saliva, and asked in surprise, "What did you say?"
Qi An was also very annoyed in his heart, he thought that he could do anything badly, and if he walked on the road well, he would be robbed and killed by people inexplicably, as if something was going against him - he obviously didn't want anything extravagantly now I just want to enjoy the world, eat and wait to die for the rest of my life, but I never thought that I would meet such a group of Cheng Yaojin who were beaten by a thousand knives on the way.
I thought that if I ran as high as the sky and the emperor was far away, I would be able to live happily ever after.I thought that if I let go of my previous obsessions, I would be able to live a lifetime in peace and stability.
Qi An has lived for so many years, and it is the first time that he believes in such things as "doom" - even if he doesn't care about it himself, there are people who want to care about it with him.
You can't hide from ease. Trouble is always there. If you don't look for it, it will come to you.He worked so hard to get out of the muddy water in the temple, but accidentally fell into another quagmire.
He couldn't help thinking, why, what did he do wrong?Why did he always force him to do what he didn't want to do, always force him to give up what he didn't want to give up, but in the end, what did he get? ?
After working hard and thinking hard on the battlefield for so many years, he was the only one of the seven sons of the royal family who "died" in the end and was ruined, and he couldn't even stand a tablet.
It is said that the world is fair, Qi An thought to himself, this is as reliable as "treating you to dinner another day".
He tried his best to grind out an indifferent shell for himself, but when he peeled it off, it was still bloody and painful.
They are all human beings, raised by their fathers and mothers, how could they not care?How could it not be chilling?
Thinking about it this way, the emotions that had been blocked in his heart burst out like a burst of embankments—he thought, why should he be thankless and precarious as if he was born?
Qi An sneered, thinking to himself, what is the purpose of his hard work for so many years?
He looked gloomy, and teased with the corners of his mouth: "I want to clean them up first, and then I can continue to be my homeless man."
Maybe, he thought, it was to send these people to hell.
Zhai Zifeng's face darkened, and he suddenly said seriously: "No."
☆, walk with the "blind man"
Qi An sneered, thinking to himself, what is the purpose of his hard work for so many years?
He looked gloomy, and teased with the corners of his mouth: "I want to clean them up first, and then I can continue to be my homeless man."
Maybe, he thought, it was to send these people to hell.
Zhai Zifeng's face darkened, and he suddenly said seriously: "No."
Qi An frowned: "Why?"
Zhai Zifeng didn't know how to explain it to him. After staring at him for a long time, he said quietly, "Well, I'll take you to Jinling City first."
Jinling is not very far from here, it is the largest city state between Chuzhou and Donghai, although Qi An originally planned to visit it, but when Zhai Zifeng said this, he somehow resisted.
"Jinling?" Qi An asked.
In fact, calm down and think about it, Qi An also knows that these people are not easy to mess with.He has never set foot in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't know the depths. In addition, he is not as good as before, so he can be regarded as a loner.
He thought, are these people only looking at him, or is he just one of them?
When a person is in the unknown, it is easy to trust the first person who gives him a definite answer.No matter how cautious you are usually, you have nine apertures in your heart, but when you really get to this situation where your eyes are smeared, you will still instinctively grasp that little bit of clear response.
Just now he believed the blind man almost instinctively, but the blind man was suspicious from head to toe.
Qi An narrowed his eyes, why did those people arrest him?And why did the blind man help him?
Qi An looked straight into Zhai Zifeng's eyes, and asked unexpectedly: "Do you know why they are looking for me?"
Zhai Zifeng felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, and didn't want to appear too useless, so he coughed lightly, trying to change the topic: "Let's go to Jinling first..."
But Qi An refused to go along with his wishes, pressing every step of the way like fighting for every inch of land: "Then please tell me first, sir."
Zhai Zifeng glanced at him, suddenly felt that one head was two big, and finally became anxious after being bored for a long time: "Hey, I think you can't make any sense!"
Qi An was very calm, and said eloquently: "I was walking on the road in a good manner, but when I encountered such a thing, it should be human nature to want to find out what happened, right?"
Zhai Zifeng was speechless, silent for a while, and finally sighed in compromise: "Then let's find an inn to rest first."
Although Zhai Zifeng doesn't know what Qi An thinks of him, from his point of view, meeting Qi An is really a bad luck.He has lived for 30 years, and this is the first time he has encountered such an ignorant bastard.You tell him to go east and he wants to go west, as if he is deliberately against you... No, it doesn't seem to be, it is.
Qi An was dressed in rags, but he had extraordinary skills. At first glance, he looked like a hidden Jianghu person—but his martial arts methods were too regular, and he didn't seem to have crawled out of the Jianghu.And when Zhai Zifeng saw him for the first time, he inexplicably felt that this person was clean, not because of how simple he was, but because of his pure temperament from the inside out—and this kind of temperament is not something that Jianghu people will have.
This is a feeling that is completely natural and cannot be explained or explained.Although he knew that Qi An had been calculating, doubting, and weighing the pros and cons from the beginning to the end.
Fortunately, this time Qi An finally made acquaintance, obediently agreed, and planned to find a resting place to recuperate, after all, he couldn't just spend the night with Zhai Zifeng in the wilderness like this.
Zhai Zifeng's mule is also a white rider, so it's better to go fast by himself.In the end, he really couldn't bear the poisonous gas of the mule, so he sold it without hesitation at the next station.
The unfamiliar white-eyed wolf was not sad at all when he was sold. When he saw the fodder in the trough, he immediately rejoiced and forgot about his former owner.
The broken mule can't be sold for a few pennies, but with the black money that Zhai Zifeng swindled along the way and a little money from Qi An, at least two decent horses can be scraped together.
Along the way, Qi An observed this man calmly. In fact, despite the sour look on his face, he could see that the blind man was still quite young, maybe about his age, with regular facial features. Dress up, maybe you really look like a dog.
The sour Taoist robe hung on his body in tatters, but from the corners of the joints, it could be seen that Zhai Zifeng had a pretty good frame.This kind of foundation is very suitable for practicing kung fu, that is, dexterity and strength. It is a rare seedling, because Qi An has practiced it himself, so he knows it.
And judging from this skill, it should have been practiced since childhood.His agility is extremely light and swift, if he hadn't practiced boy kung fu, it would be almost impossible to have such a state.
So it is uncertain, this blind man may be from a famous school.
It's just that the way of kung fu was too evil, and it was separated by thousands of miles from those royal children and imperial troops that Qi An had come into contact with before, so it was really beyond his cognition.
Qi An thought for a while, pretending to be unintentional, and asked casually: "Which master did this kung fu come from, sir?"
Knowing his intention, Zhai Zifeng pushed him back as if he was practicing Tai Chi, and said nonsense with a smile: "A gentleman who taught me Kung Fu."
Qi An smiled and didn't ask any further questions.
Zhai Zifeng: "You haven't told me, where are you from?"
Qi An continued to babble in a calm manner: "I've said it before, people from the underworld."
Zhai Zifeng didn't bother to argue with him, so he analyzed in an orderly manner: "I hear your accent, it seems to be from the north?"
Qi An smiled without saying a word.
Zhai Zifeng knew in his heart that no matter how standard and straightforward Da'an's official dialect was, Qi An's intonation still had a rough tone polished by northern sand, especially the ending sounds of some words, which had a little taste of northern dialect.
The most important thing is that Qi An, no matter how much he conceals it, his speech and behavior still don't look like a person who grew up in the market or the rivers and lakes. The uprightness revealed in his spine should be that of a wealthy nobleman.In addition, he has excellent skills and solid skills, so he is likely to be from a family of martial arts practitioners or a general.
It's just that he doesn't know why this person is so carefree, and he doesn't know why he keeps his hometown so secretive.
But his intuition told him that the so-called steady flow of water, it's better not to get to the bottom of it right now.
By the time they arrived in Anqing, it was already midnight.It was hard to find an inn at this time. They searched most of the street, and only found one that was willing to accept them. After all, two suspicious men with bloody ideas suddenly came here in the middle of the night. , I really dare not take them in.
However, it just so happens that the owner of this inn is an out-and-out money hooker.
The boss woke up halfway through his sleep, but he was also very energetic, and his two little tricks, which were bigger than Kong Fangjun's eyes, were all full of energy.
Most likely it was calculated that they must have nowhere to stay, so the boss rubbed his hands with a smile on his face and said: "This... there is still a Tianzi shop left in this small shop. Seeing that the two officials are foreigners, they both It’s not easy, our house is cheaper, how about two taels of silver for one night?”
The corners of Qi An's eyes twitched, and he thought to himself why the hell didn't you just grab the money?
Zhai Zifeng was very straightforward, and he didn't know where this poor fortune-teller got his confidence. With a big wave of his hand, he threw a bag of silver that they made up together on the boss's desk: "Okay, I want this one."
Qi An exhaustedly helped his forehead, thinking that your old man is really bargaining.
They all said that it wasn't his own money that didn't make him feel bad when he spent it. Even if it was his own money, Zhai Zifeng didn't even blink his eyelids when he squandered it. He flung out his tattered coarse cloth sleeves with a flamboyant demeanor of spending money like dirt. .
Qi An finally understood why this man was so talented yet so poor.
The boss handed them the keys and took them upstairs to find a room. Zhai Zifeng followed like an old man with his hands behind his back, strolling along the courtyard.
After entering the room, Zhai Zifeng should have noticed Qi An's pained expression, so he finally patted him on the shoulder open-mindedly, and comforted him with big words: "Be careful, money is something outside of you."
Qi An twitched the corner of his mouth suspiciously.
Although Qi An is the royal family, the world-renowned king of Beisu, he has been staying in the northern border for more than ten years.His elder brother was also wary of him, and his military salary was severely deducted, so although he was considered a dragon, he was a person who was used to thrift.
After all, the 50 brothers have tightened their belts to live, and he, a handsome man, is too embarrassed to spend money like water.
Besides, if the censors in the capital knew that he was living so well, they would definitely feel uneasy again.
The boss was considerate and gave them an extra bed, so they didn't have to stare at the question of how to sleep.
After tossing and tossing for most of the night, the tendons in my mind were all tensed.Zhai Zifeng warmed up some wine, and the two of them drank a bowl each.Qi An lay down on the bed after drinking, thought for a while, and finally asked the question he had held back for a long time: "Why did you help me?"
He knew that Zhai Zifeng was really helping him, otherwise, with Zhai Zifeng's skills, if he really wanted to do something, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.
Zhai Zifeng took off his coat and sat on another bed: "Then tell me first, where are you from?"
Qi An clicked his tongue, maybe because he felt that he couldn't resist him, so he could only say: "It's alright, the one from the north? Why do you always care about this?"
Zhai Zifeng smiled, and asked persistently, "Where is it in the north?"
Qi An refused to continue talking, and said with a smile: "Then tell me again, why those people are looking for me?"
Zhai Zifeng was overjoyed, and thought that this kid was quite stubborn, so he asked, "Have you ever met an old man?"
Hearing this, Qi An's heart skipped a beat, the corners of his raised mouth trembled, and he forced a smile and said, "Which old man?"
Zhai Zifeng: "It's almost as high as my shoulders, and there's a red mole between my eyebrows."
The smile on Qi An's face gradually sank.
☆. This blind man is a well-known school.
Zhai Zifeng was overjoyed, and thought that this kid was quite stubborn, so he asked, "Have you ever met an old man?"
Hearing this, Qi An's heart skipped a beat, the corners of his raised mouth trembled, and he forced a smile and said, "Which old man?"
Zhai Zifeng: "It's almost as high as my shoulders, and there's a red mole between my eyebrows."
The smile on Qi An's face gradually sank.
Seeing the change in his expression, Zhai Zifeng was even more sure that there must be something involved, so he asked even more: "Have you seen him in the north?"
The past flashed through Qi An's mind like turning the pages of a book, disturbing him for a moment. Looking at Zhai Zifeng's strange eyes that were faintly glowing in the darkness, he had an inexplicable feeling of being peeped by a wild beast.
Outside the window, the moonlight was shining, leaking in from the half-opened paper window, casting the mottled shadow of the paper window on Qi An's body, making his expression gloomy.
With calm eyes, he smiled lowly: "I really don't remember the person that Immortal Zhai mentioned."
The corners of Qi An's eyes twitched, and his heart became more and more uneasy like a drum beating - who is this Zhai Zifeng?
Zhai Zifeng was extremely sensitive to catch the fleeting wavering in his eyes, and he said with resoluteness: "Then do you still remember if the old man gave you a bottle of magic medicine called..."
Before he could finish his words, Qi An leaped over, picked him up from the bed with lightning speed, and threw him against the wall.In the blink of an eye, Qi An's arm was firmly pressed against his throat.
That bottle of wonder medicine is called Bianxiang.
After taking Bi Anxiang, a person is no different from a corpse within five days. He has no pulse or breathing, and even his limbs become stiff, but after five days, he will wake up again and recover as before—Qi An used this to escape Born.
I thought this secret would follow him forever and be buried in the vast rivers and lakes.
Zhai Zifeng didn't struggle, and looked at Qi An's eyes that suddenly turned dark, with a gloomy face, and there was even a hint of anger flickering in the pupils.
However, Qi An calmed down a little after being impulsive. He knew that Zhai Zifeng didn't fight back on purpose just now, otherwise with his skill, he would never be able to catch Zhai Zifeng.
Qi An suppressed his emotions, and asked in a deep voice, "Who the hell are you?"
Zhai Zifeng said calmly: "He is my uncle, his name is Zhai Tianyang, but he will not tell you this name."
Qi An was speechless.
Zhai Zifeng continued; "He told you his name is Jinwu, right?"
The golden crow is the sun, shining everywhere.Qi An never expected that Jinwu, the No.1 doctor in the Northern Territory back then, would have something to do with this guy.Qi An originally thought that this old man was all-round, but he didn't expect that after time passed, he would meet his nephew here.
It's not that he wasn't curious about the old man's past background, but he was just stingy and merciless. The old man was kind to him, and he couldn't be bold enough to ask the old man about the past that he concealed in every possible way.
"What else do you know?" Qi An asked hoarsely.
Zhai Zifeng shrugged: "It's gone."
"Lie!" Qi An's arm moved hard, and Zhai Zifeng's throat made a strange sound.
Zhai Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "It's useless, you can't threaten me."
Qi An's heart trembled, and when he looked down, he saw a silver needle pressed against his abdomen.
Qi An has seen what this silver needle is capable of.
However, Zhai Zifeng only resisted for a while, and then took it back: "You have a bad temper, can't we talk about it if we have something to say? Is it interesting to make both sides hurt?"
Qi An glanced at Zhai Zifeng, and took his hand back without saying a word.After standing silently for a while, he suddenly sneered to himself, turned and walked towards his own bed.
Zhai Zifeng rubbed his stuck throat distressedly, and cleared his throat in a low voice.
Qi An watched his movements, and asked again: "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything." Zhai Zifeng said honestly, "I don't want to hurt you either. Tell me where my uncle is buried and where his belongings are. I'll help you settle the rest."
"Are you so kind?" Qi An sneered, "Why do you think I should trust you?"
Zhai Zifeng smiled, as if he had a plan in mind, and asked, "What do you think?"
Qi An was at a loss for words, he couldn't help thinking of what Zhai Tianyang said to him before he died, and when he looked at Zhai Zifeng again, it seemed that it really coincided with the description in his memory.
Maybe, it was really his nephew?
"They came here for the fragrance on your body." Zhai Zifeng continued, "You have taken Bi'an incense, although I don't know why you use that, and I don't know why my uncle gave you Bi'an incense, but after using it Those who have experienced the fragrance of the other side will always have a fragrance on their body."
Qi An frowned, trying hard to restrain the desire to lower his head and smell his clothes.
Zhai Zifeng seemed to have seen his careful thinking, and smiled calmly: "Ordinary people can't smell it, but the children of Yinyang Mountain have studied medicine since childhood, tried thousands of medicines, and their sense of smell is much more sensitive than ordinary people. .”
Zhai Zifeng sniffed vigorously, with a look of enjoyment on his face, which gave Qi An goosebumps.
Zhai Zifeng said with a smile: "So in our place, you are more fragrant than gardenias."
This somewhat sweet metaphor made Qi An feel a little uncomfortable, he twitched the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "So you followed me because of this smell?"
Zhai Zifeng didn't blush, and nodded at him with a smile: "That's right!"
Qi An secretly rolled his eyes.
Sure enough, there is nothing perfect in the world, how can we know that it is not a blessing, how can we know that it is not a disaster.Originally, he thought that he could be at ease from now on, but he didn't expect that he just entered the tiger's den from Longtan.
It seems that things like doom cannot be solved by escaping.
Qi An: "Then let me ask you one last question."
Zhai Zifeng said, "Say it."
"Would you be able to settle them as long as I let you find the old man's relics? That's your fellow disciple."
Zhai Zifeng nodded: "I'm a blind man, and they don't intend to let me live."
Qi An smiled wordlessly, and the scene of Zhai Tianyang's dying time appeared in his mind again.The old man has always been healthy and healthy, but one day, for some reason, he stood up from the chair too quickly and fell back on the spot.They tried their best to save the old man's life, but since then, Zhai Tianyang's health has been deteriorating, until finally he was unable to recover.
Qi An still remembered that Zhai Tianyang couldn't speak clearly at that time, and even told him with gestures and squeaks that there was a wooden box in his belongings. give him.
It seems to have met.
Qi An didn't want to touch things that didn't belong to him, so he never opened that box, and didn't know what was inside, and of course he didn't want to know what was inside.
So when Qi An wanted to ask Zhai Zifeng what kind of quarrel he had with those fellow disciples from Yinyang Mountain, he just opened his mouth, but finally held back.
He didn't want to know so much.
With the development of the matter today, Qi An actually has some vague guesses about what happened to Yinyang Mountain. Although he is not sure, he is probably close to ten.So it's not that he is lenient or drifting with the crowd, it's just that he trusts this person faintly from the bottom of his heart.
He has been immersed in the muddy waters of the court for so many years. Although he is not very clever, at least he knows how to distinguish people.What kind of old fox is there in the Golden Luan Hall, and since Qi An has already "died" once, he has no idea which sentence people say is true and which is false, and whether this person has any evil intentions. Have your own judgment.
If he didn't ask so much back then, maybe he would still be staying in the northern border as his King of Beisu now.
And although he didn't know the reason, Qi An could tell that Zhai Zifeng didn't get along with his classmates, otherwise he wouldn't be wandering here in such a despondent way.
Qi An smiled indistinctly, fell back on the bed sideways, and then snuggled into the bed.
Zhai Zifeng saw that he didn't intend to care about him at all, and suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable: "Don't you want to know why I have trouble with them?"
Qi An lay on his side with his back facing him, calmly said four words: "None of my business."
Zhai Zifeng bowed down.
Martial arts practitioners don't doze off too much, the two of them fell asleep in the middle of the night, and set off again early the next morning.Originally, Qi An said that if he wanted to take Zhai Tianyang's relics, he would go north with him directly, but who knew that Zhai Zifeng wanted to take him to Jinling first, Qi An couldn't hold back him, so he had no choice but to go along.
Unfortunately, when they left the inn the next day, they found that the horse had been stolen.
Qi An scolded his mother in his heart, thinking that since he met this blind man, nothing good would happen.
Zhai Zifeng got up in the morning and wrapped the black gauze again, so Qi An couldn't see his eyes, only this man was still giggling heartlessly.
It is really a magnificent flower in this world.
"It's okay," Qi An comforted himself, "Anqing and Jinling are both near the river, so we can still walk by water."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he proposed this idea, it was rejected by that donkey Zhai Zifeng.
Zhai Xianren said that even if his leg was broken, he would never take a boat.
There was no way, Qi An couldn't force people to go up there, and finally thought of a compromise—they used a bullock cart to pull goods.
unfortunately
Several cold lights flashed in the night, and Qi An got low, and managed to shake off the murderous concealed weapons, then got off his horse, and stabbed the night walker who was about to attack from behind with his backhand in the neck.
The man let out a miserable howl, and the blood flowed like a gush in an instant, and the blood spurted out far away, reflecting the snow-white sword body red, and the sharp blood light flickered,
At this moment, a hand suddenly sprang out from behind, and it was about to reach Qi An's neck. Qi An turned away, shook off the man's hand, and stabbed the man's heart fiercely.
But when the knife went down, the man seemed to be okay, and he raised his hand and was about to chop Qi An's head.After all, Qi An crawled out of the pile of dead people, no matter how frightening things are, it is difficult to shock him, he reacted very quickly and kicked aside, and in a blink of an eye, he walked around the man's back, and then chopped the knife Cut it off, cut off the man's head.
And this person didn't bleed when his head fell off, only a little black scum burst out, followed by a pungent rancid stench.
WTF?
Qi An didn't have time to think about it, and there were several black shadows attacking him. Although these people moved quickly, they always felt very stiff, as if their joints were rusted.Some of the legs were as stretched as chopsticks, and the "hands" holding the chopsticks were extremely flexible, making chopsticks like flying.
He turned around and dodged a few times. These people's fists and feet were extremely heavy, as if they were filled with lead, but they could feel a sharp palm wind just passing by their ears.
Who on earth would sneak up on him in the middle of the night?Could it be the pursuers sent by the capital?
But everyone in the world knew that he was "dead". The emperor personally examined the "corpse". King Da'an had such a vast land, and if he hid in the rivers and lakes, no one knew that he was the King of Beisu.And if the people in the capital really found out, the posture would never be so shabby, and it would never find that kind of weird killer that makes people feel cold.
No one knows better than him what method the emperor's family used to kill people.
He specially shaved the neck, and seeing that those "chopstick-legged" brothers couldn't hold it anymore, several people jumped out of the grass.Judging by the movements of these people, they are not "chopstick legs". Not only are they not stiff, but they are also extremely flexible and swift, and they move towards Qi An in all directions.
Dazzling in the darkness, Qi An couldn't deal with it. In a hurry, he turned around and slashed, caught a little gap and quickly jumped out of the encirclement. With a sudden step on the sole of his foot, he jumped to the side of them, and then ran away without hesitation.
If you can't beat it, then withdraw!
But those people seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and several people suddenly rushed out in front of Qi An, and quickly teamed up with the people chasing him to surround him.
A person behind Qi An shouted: "Catch him alive!"
Qi An couldn't help thinking, who did he provoke?
So, a dozen "chopstick-legged" brothers rushed towards him like the wind again.
Just as Qi An set up the knife, a strong smell came from nowhere, and the pair of "chopsticks" immediately stopped moving.
Before Qi An could see clearly, he felt a breeze behind him, and a person whispered in his ear: "Let me do it."
Qi An only felt that the voice was familiar, and turned his head instinctively, and bumped into a pair of extremely bright eyes, and this pair of eyes was different from ordinary people in that the pair of pupils were surprisingly large.
☆, counter attack
"You..." Qi An opened his mouth in surprise.
blind?
Qi An didn't have time to think about the fact that this fake blind man "exposed his true form", he pushed back violently, staggered a few times unsteadily, and a phantom flashed in front of his eyes, swipe from the side of his head However, a scream came from behind.
Qi An glanced back, only to see that the person who originally planned to attack him fell to the ground, with a trace of blood oozing from between his brows, and a very thin cold light flashed above his head.
The area between the eyebrows that was stabbed quickly turned black, and began to fester at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Qi An couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
And the people who had besieged him seemed to be very afraid of the blind man, they stared at each other, not knowing whether to withdraw or not.
The blind man didn't make any more moves, and blew a whistle with a strange tone. The "chopstick legs" that were about to be aimed at them froze for a moment, and there was a strange noise in their throats, and then turned around in a daze.
The people around them visibly panicked, and a man in black yelled anxiously: "Zhai Zifeng!"
The blind man was unmoved, and blew his whistle again.
Several "chopstick legs" let out a sharp howl, and their originally stiff faces twisted violently, and they rushed towards those people.
The man in black at the head saw that the situation was not right, looked left and right, and hurriedly shouted: "Let's go!"
These people act straightforwardly, dodge if they can't win, don't procrastinate at all, and run away in the blink of an eye.
Zhai Zifeng didn't chase after him, turned around and walked towards Qi An: "Are you okay?"
Looking back at the man in black who was stabbed by the poisonous needle, most of his face had been festered from the center of his eyebrows, and the rotting skin and flesh fell down sticky and black, and it looked like half of his head had collapsed in.
Qi An's scalp tingled, and then he realized that Zhai Zifeng was asking him something, then he shook his head and gave him a strange look.
Of course Zhai Zifeng knew what he was thinking, so he just smiled and looked him up and down: "Those things didn't bite you, did they?"
Countless questions were in his heart, making Qi An's mind into a mess. He couldn't help thinking, who is this blind man who appeared out of nowhere?And why did those men in black attack him?
He still remembered what those people said to "catch him alive". Who exactly wanted to catch him?
Those people don't look like people from the imperial city, and Qi An doesn't remember that he had a feud with the Jianghu people, so he must have found the wrong person, right?
"No." Qi An said briefly, backed away calmly, and opened up a little distance without any trace, "Just now... Thank you for your help."
No matter how strong the curiosity in his heart was, Qi An still didn't want to make any troubles, at worst, he would go directly south. No matter how unwilling he was to go to southern Xinjiang, he didn't want to be caught up in these messy things.
Qi An thought he was covering it up very well, but Zhai Zifeng still caught the taboo flashing in his eyes very sensitively.Zhai Zifeng didn't react at all, but still grinned at him: "You're welcome."
Qi An didn't intend to be too polite to him at all, and after much deliberation, he didn't have anything else to say, he just hoped to leave this inexplicable ghost place quickly, so he said cheekily: "Mr. Thank you very much.”
Of course, he didn't mean goodbye.
Zhai Zifeng looked at the back of him leaving resolutely, suddenly smiled, and asked loudly: "How does Mr. Wu plan to thank you?!"
Qi An slipped his foot and looked back at him in disbelief. Just as he was about to say something casually and leave quickly, the blind man who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic shouted: "How about you promise yourself?!"
Qi An almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, his heart was ups and downs, and it took nearly 30 years of cultivation to suppress the evil fire in his heart.
Don't worry about it, don't worry about it with idiots.
He slowly pulled out an extremely terrifying smile, and said politely: "There will be a period later."
After saying that, he turned to look for his horse.After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered that he jumped off his horse in the scuffle just now. At this time, the bobbing mongrel must have gone "hidden in the world" long ago.
Qi An spat, and said in his heart that it's really fucking unlucky to even drink water between his teeth.
Zhai Zifeng really found it funny, couldn't help but smile, and joked very unkindly: "Your horse also has a 'soon' with you."
Qi An really couldn't bear the pent-up anger in his dantian, so he turned around and gave him a vicious look.
Zhai Zifeng shrugged, looked at him with blinking strange eyes, and comforted him cautiously: "It's okay, my mule is still there."
As he spoke, he pointed to a mule tied to a tree with a crooked neck not far away. The mule seemed to be spiritually connected and knew that someone was talking about it.
Qi An secretly rolled his eyes, and said no, no one cares about your mule.
Zhai Zifeng saw that Qi An had nothing to do, so he stuck up to Qi An shamelessly, put his arm on his shoulder in a familiar way, and put his arm around him very naturally: "I said you, don't rush away .Those people are definitely after you, and it's not safe for you to wander around by yourself..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi An suddenly asked back: "Do you know where they came from?"
Zhai Zifeng was stunned for a moment, apparently he didn't expect him to ask this suddenly: "I thought you wouldn't want to know."
Qi An thought to himself, he really didn't want to know, but he didn't know that he had long been used to the routine of "knowing yourself and knowing the enemy", so he always felt uneasy if he forced himself to be confused like this.
He ignored Zhai Zifeng's words, and said to himself: "I just heard them calling your name...is that your real name?"
Zhai Zifeng nodded: "Yes."
Qi An was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, and suddenly asked: "The wind of the wind and rain?"
Zhai Zifeng was stunned for a moment, and responded, "What's wrong with Maple Leaf's Feng?"
Qi An shook his head: "Nothing."
Seeing that he stopped talking, Zhai Zifeng explained to himself: "They are from Yinyang Mountain."
"Yinyang Mountain?" Qi An felt that the name was familiar. Although he had never set foot in the rivers and lakes, he had heard of some famous sects. "The one who makes medicine and refines Gu?"
"Yes." Zhai Zifeng nodded, "They're after you."
Qi An snorted softly, and said with a smile: "I'm a homeless man, I haven't provoked anyone, why are you staring at me?"
The smile on Zhai Zifeng's face gradually subsided, and a pair of strange black pupils stared at him deeply. After a long time, he sighed as if giving up, and said, "I can't tell at the moment, is there any place you want to go?"
Qi An originally wanted to talk about Nanjiang, but he couldn't get the words out of his mouth. In the end, he lingered on the root of his tongue for a while, but he swallowed it back, and said instead: "There is nowhere to go."
Zhai Zifeng was speechless, and scratched the back of his head irritably.
Looking at his unusually large pupils, Qi An gradually understood why he wears black cloth strips during the day—this kind of eyes is very similar to a cat's eyes at night, they are too sensitive to light, so they don't wear black cloth strips during the day. Bu, I'm afraid I'm really blind.
Qi An has always claimed to be well-informed, but he has never heard of such an eye disease.
After a while, Qi An suddenly said, "Do you know where Yinyang Mountain is?"
Zhai Zifeng almost choked on his saliva, and asked in surprise, "What did you say?"
Qi An was also very annoyed in his heart, he thought that he could do anything badly, and if he walked on the road well, he would be robbed and killed by people inexplicably, as if something was going against him - he obviously didn't want anything extravagantly now I just want to enjoy the world, eat and wait to die for the rest of my life, but I never thought that I would meet such a group of Cheng Yaojin who were beaten by a thousand knives on the way.
I thought that if I ran as high as the sky and the emperor was far away, I would be able to live happily ever after.I thought that if I let go of my previous obsessions, I would be able to live a lifetime in peace and stability.
Qi An has lived for so many years, and it is the first time that he believes in such things as "doom" - even if he doesn't care about it himself, there are people who want to care about it with him.
You can't hide from ease. Trouble is always there. If you don't look for it, it will come to you.He worked so hard to get out of the muddy water in the temple, but accidentally fell into another quagmire.
He couldn't help thinking, why, what did he do wrong?Why did he always force him to do what he didn't want to do, always force him to give up what he didn't want to give up, but in the end, what did he get? ?
After working hard and thinking hard on the battlefield for so many years, he was the only one of the seven sons of the royal family who "died" in the end and was ruined, and he couldn't even stand a tablet.
It is said that the world is fair, Qi An thought to himself, this is as reliable as "treating you to dinner another day".
He tried his best to grind out an indifferent shell for himself, but when he peeled it off, it was still bloody and painful.
They are all human beings, raised by their fathers and mothers, how could they not care?How could it not be chilling?
Thinking about it this way, the emotions that had been blocked in his heart burst out like a burst of embankments—he thought, why should he be thankless and precarious as if he was born?
Qi An sneered, thinking to himself, what is the purpose of his hard work for so many years?
He looked gloomy, and teased with the corners of his mouth: "I want to clean them up first, and then I can continue to be my homeless man."
Maybe, he thought, it was to send these people to hell.
Zhai Zifeng's face darkened, and he suddenly said seriously: "No."
☆, walk with the "blind man"
Qi An sneered, thinking to himself, what is the purpose of his hard work for so many years?
He looked gloomy, and teased with the corners of his mouth: "I want to clean them up first, and then I can continue to be my homeless man."
Maybe, he thought, it was to send these people to hell.
Zhai Zifeng's face darkened, and he suddenly said seriously: "No."
Qi An frowned: "Why?"
Zhai Zifeng didn't know how to explain it to him. After staring at him for a long time, he said quietly, "Well, I'll take you to Jinling City first."
Jinling is not very far from here, it is the largest city state between Chuzhou and Donghai, although Qi An originally planned to visit it, but when Zhai Zifeng said this, he somehow resisted.
"Jinling?" Qi An asked.
In fact, calm down and think about it, Qi An also knows that these people are not easy to mess with.He has never set foot in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't know the depths. In addition, he is not as good as before, so he can be regarded as a loner.
He thought, are these people only looking at him, or is he just one of them?
When a person is in the unknown, it is easy to trust the first person who gives him a definite answer.No matter how cautious you are usually, you have nine apertures in your heart, but when you really get to this situation where your eyes are smeared, you will still instinctively grasp that little bit of clear response.
Just now he believed the blind man almost instinctively, but the blind man was suspicious from head to toe.
Qi An narrowed his eyes, why did those people arrest him?And why did the blind man help him?
Qi An looked straight into Zhai Zifeng's eyes, and asked unexpectedly: "Do you know why they are looking for me?"
Zhai Zifeng felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, and didn't want to appear too useless, so he coughed lightly, trying to change the topic: "Let's go to Jinling first..."
But Qi An refused to go along with his wishes, pressing every step of the way like fighting for every inch of land: "Then please tell me first, sir."
Zhai Zifeng glanced at him, suddenly felt that one head was two big, and finally became anxious after being bored for a long time: "Hey, I think you can't make any sense!"
Qi An was very calm, and said eloquently: "I was walking on the road in a good manner, but when I encountered such a thing, it should be human nature to want to find out what happened, right?"
Zhai Zifeng was speechless, silent for a while, and finally sighed in compromise: "Then let's find an inn to rest first."
Although Zhai Zifeng doesn't know what Qi An thinks of him, from his point of view, meeting Qi An is really a bad luck.He has lived for 30 years, and this is the first time he has encountered such an ignorant bastard.You tell him to go east and he wants to go west, as if he is deliberately against you... No, it doesn't seem to be, it is.
Qi An was dressed in rags, but he had extraordinary skills. At first glance, he looked like a hidden Jianghu person—but his martial arts methods were too regular, and he didn't seem to have crawled out of the Jianghu.And when Zhai Zifeng saw him for the first time, he inexplicably felt that this person was clean, not because of how simple he was, but because of his pure temperament from the inside out—and this kind of temperament is not something that Jianghu people will have.
This is a feeling that is completely natural and cannot be explained or explained.Although he knew that Qi An had been calculating, doubting, and weighing the pros and cons from the beginning to the end.
Fortunately, this time Qi An finally made acquaintance, obediently agreed, and planned to find a resting place to recuperate, after all, he couldn't just spend the night with Zhai Zifeng in the wilderness like this.
Zhai Zifeng's mule is also a white rider, so it's better to go fast by himself.In the end, he really couldn't bear the poisonous gas of the mule, so he sold it without hesitation at the next station.
The unfamiliar white-eyed wolf was not sad at all when he was sold. When he saw the fodder in the trough, he immediately rejoiced and forgot about his former owner.
The broken mule can't be sold for a few pennies, but with the black money that Zhai Zifeng swindled along the way and a little money from Qi An, at least two decent horses can be scraped together.
Along the way, Qi An observed this man calmly. In fact, despite the sour look on his face, he could see that the blind man was still quite young, maybe about his age, with regular facial features. Dress up, maybe you really look like a dog.
The sour Taoist robe hung on his body in tatters, but from the corners of the joints, it could be seen that Zhai Zifeng had a pretty good frame.This kind of foundation is very suitable for practicing kung fu, that is, dexterity and strength. It is a rare seedling, because Qi An has practiced it himself, so he knows it.
And judging from this skill, it should have been practiced since childhood.His agility is extremely light and swift, if he hadn't practiced boy kung fu, it would be almost impossible to have such a state.
So it is uncertain, this blind man may be from a famous school.
It's just that the way of kung fu was too evil, and it was separated by thousands of miles from those royal children and imperial troops that Qi An had come into contact with before, so it was really beyond his cognition.
Qi An thought for a while, pretending to be unintentional, and asked casually: "Which master did this kung fu come from, sir?"
Knowing his intention, Zhai Zifeng pushed him back as if he was practicing Tai Chi, and said nonsense with a smile: "A gentleman who taught me Kung Fu."
Qi An smiled and didn't ask any further questions.
Zhai Zifeng: "You haven't told me, where are you from?"
Qi An continued to babble in a calm manner: "I've said it before, people from the underworld."
Zhai Zifeng didn't bother to argue with him, so he analyzed in an orderly manner: "I hear your accent, it seems to be from the north?"
Qi An smiled without saying a word.
Zhai Zifeng knew in his heart that no matter how standard and straightforward Da'an's official dialect was, Qi An's intonation still had a rough tone polished by northern sand, especially the ending sounds of some words, which had a little taste of northern dialect.
The most important thing is that Qi An, no matter how much he conceals it, his speech and behavior still don't look like a person who grew up in the market or the rivers and lakes. The uprightness revealed in his spine should be that of a wealthy nobleman.In addition, he has excellent skills and solid skills, so he is likely to be from a family of martial arts practitioners or a general.
It's just that he doesn't know why this person is so carefree, and he doesn't know why he keeps his hometown so secretive.
But his intuition told him that the so-called steady flow of water, it's better not to get to the bottom of it right now.
By the time they arrived in Anqing, it was already midnight.It was hard to find an inn at this time. They searched most of the street, and only found one that was willing to accept them. After all, two suspicious men with bloody ideas suddenly came here in the middle of the night. , I really dare not take them in.
However, it just so happens that the owner of this inn is an out-and-out money hooker.
The boss woke up halfway through his sleep, but he was also very energetic, and his two little tricks, which were bigger than Kong Fangjun's eyes, were all full of energy.
Most likely it was calculated that they must have nowhere to stay, so the boss rubbed his hands with a smile on his face and said: "This... there is still a Tianzi shop left in this small shop. Seeing that the two officials are foreigners, they both It’s not easy, our house is cheaper, how about two taels of silver for one night?”
The corners of Qi An's eyes twitched, and he thought to himself why the hell didn't you just grab the money?
Zhai Zifeng was very straightforward, and he didn't know where this poor fortune-teller got his confidence. With a big wave of his hand, he threw a bag of silver that they made up together on the boss's desk: "Okay, I want this one."
Qi An exhaustedly helped his forehead, thinking that your old man is really bargaining.
They all said that it wasn't his own money that didn't make him feel bad when he spent it. Even if it was his own money, Zhai Zifeng didn't even blink his eyelids when he squandered it. He flung out his tattered coarse cloth sleeves with a flamboyant demeanor of spending money like dirt. .
Qi An finally understood why this man was so talented yet so poor.
The boss handed them the keys and took them upstairs to find a room. Zhai Zifeng followed like an old man with his hands behind his back, strolling along the courtyard.
After entering the room, Zhai Zifeng should have noticed Qi An's pained expression, so he finally patted him on the shoulder open-mindedly, and comforted him with big words: "Be careful, money is something outside of you."
Qi An twitched the corner of his mouth suspiciously.
Although Qi An is the royal family, the world-renowned king of Beisu, he has been staying in the northern border for more than ten years.His elder brother was also wary of him, and his military salary was severely deducted, so although he was considered a dragon, he was a person who was used to thrift.
After all, the 50 brothers have tightened their belts to live, and he, a handsome man, is too embarrassed to spend money like water.
Besides, if the censors in the capital knew that he was living so well, they would definitely feel uneasy again.
The boss was considerate and gave them an extra bed, so they didn't have to stare at the question of how to sleep.
After tossing and tossing for most of the night, the tendons in my mind were all tensed.Zhai Zifeng warmed up some wine, and the two of them drank a bowl each.Qi An lay down on the bed after drinking, thought for a while, and finally asked the question he had held back for a long time: "Why did you help me?"
He knew that Zhai Zifeng was really helping him, otherwise, with Zhai Zifeng's skills, if he really wanted to do something, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.
Zhai Zifeng took off his coat and sat on another bed: "Then tell me first, where are you from?"
Qi An clicked his tongue, maybe because he felt that he couldn't resist him, so he could only say: "It's alright, the one from the north? Why do you always care about this?"
Zhai Zifeng smiled, and asked persistently, "Where is it in the north?"
Qi An refused to continue talking, and said with a smile: "Then tell me again, why those people are looking for me?"
Zhai Zifeng was overjoyed, and thought that this kid was quite stubborn, so he asked, "Have you ever met an old man?"
Hearing this, Qi An's heart skipped a beat, the corners of his raised mouth trembled, and he forced a smile and said, "Which old man?"
Zhai Zifeng: "It's almost as high as my shoulders, and there's a red mole between my eyebrows."
The smile on Qi An's face gradually sank.
☆. This blind man is a well-known school.
Zhai Zifeng was overjoyed, and thought that this kid was quite stubborn, so he asked, "Have you ever met an old man?"
Hearing this, Qi An's heart skipped a beat, the corners of his raised mouth trembled, and he forced a smile and said, "Which old man?"
Zhai Zifeng: "It's almost as high as my shoulders, and there's a red mole between my eyebrows."
The smile on Qi An's face gradually sank.
Seeing the change in his expression, Zhai Zifeng was even more sure that there must be something involved, so he asked even more: "Have you seen him in the north?"
The past flashed through Qi An's mind like turning the pages of a book, disturbing him for a moment. Looking at Zhai Zifeng's strange eyes that were faintly glowing in the darkness, he had an inexplicable feeling of being peeped by a wild beast.
Outside the window, the moonlight was shining, leaking in from the half-opened paper window, casting the mottled shadow of the paper window on Qi An's body, making his expression gloomy.
With calm eyes, he smiled lowly: "I really don't remember the person that Immortal Zhai mentioned."
The corners of Qi An's eyes twitched, and his heart became more and more uneasy like a drum beating - who is this Zhai Zifeng?
Zhai Zifeng was extremely sensitive to catch the fleeting wavering in his eyes, and he said with resoluteness: "Then do you still remember if the old man gave you a bottle of magic medicine called..."
Before he could finish his words, Qi An leaped over, picked him up from the bed with lightning speed, and threw him against the wall.In the blink of an eye, Qi An's arm was firmly pressed against his throat.
That bottle of wonder medicine is called Bianxiang.
After taking Bi Anxiang, a person is no different from a corpse within five days. He has no pulse or breathing, and even his limbs become stiff, but after five days, he will wake up again and recover as before—Qi An used this to escape Born.
I thought this secret would follow him forever and be buried in the vast rivers and lakes.
Zhai Zifeng didn't struggle, and looked at Qi An's eyes that suddenly turned dark, with a gloomy face, and there was even a hint of anger flickering in the pupils.
However, Qi An calmed down a little after being impulsive. He knew that Zhai Zifeng didn't fight back on purpose just now, otherwise with his skill, he would never be able to catch Zhai Zifeng.
Qi An suppressed his emotions, and asked in a deep voice, "Who the hell are you?"
Zhai Zifeng said calmly: "He is my uncle, his name is Zhai Tianyang, but he will not tell you this name."
Qi An was speechless.
Zhai Zifeng continued; "He told you his name is Jinwu, right?"
The golden crow is the sun, shining everywhere.Qi An never expected that Jinwu, the No.1 doctor in the Northern Territory back then, would have something to do with this guy.Qi An originally thought that this old man was all-round, but he didn't expect that after time passed, he would meet his nephew here.
It's not that he wasn't curious about the old man's past background, but he was just stingy and merciless. The old man was kind to him, and he couldn't be bold enough to ask the old man about the past that he concealed in every possible way.
"What else do you know?" Qi An asked hoarsely.
Zhai Zifeng shrugged: "It's gone."
"Lie!" Qi An's arm moved hard, and Zhai Zifeng's throat made a strange sound.
Zhai Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "It's useless, you can't threaten me."
Qi An's heart trembled, and when he looked down, he saw a silver needle pressed against his abdomen.
Qi An has seen what this silver needle is capable of.
However, Zhai Zifeng only resisted for a while, and then took it back: "You have a bad temper, can't we talk about it if we have something to say? Is it interesting to make both sides hurt?"
Qi An glanced at Zhai Zifeng, and took his hand back without saying a word.After standing silently for a while, he suddenly sneered to himself, turned and walked towards his own bed.
Zhai Zifeng rubbed his stuck throat distressedly, and cleared his throat in a low voice.
Qi An watched his movements, and asked again: "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything." Zhai Zifeng said honestly, "I don't want to hurt you either. Tell me where my uncle is buried and where his belongings are. I'll help you settle the rest."
"Are you so kind?" Qi An sneered, "Why do you think I should trust you?"
Zhai Zifeng smiled, as if he had a plan in mind, and asked, "What do you think?"
Qi An was at a loss for words, he couldn't help thinking of what Zhai Tianyang said to him before he died, and when he looked at Zhai Zifeng again, it seemed that it really coincided with the description in his memory.
Maybe, it was really his nephew?
"They came here for the fragrance on your body." Zhai Zifeng continued, "You have taken Bi'an incense, although I don't know why you use that, and I don't know why my uncle gave you Bi'an incense, but after using it Those who have experienced the fragrance of the other side will always have a fragrance on their body."
Qi An frowned, trying hard to restrain the desire to lower his head and smell his clothes.
Zhai Zifeng seemed to have seen his careful thinking, and smiled calmly: "Ordinary people can't smell it, but the children of Yinyang Mountain have studied medicine since childhood, tried thousands of medicines, and their sense of smell is much more sensitive than ordinary people. .”
Zhai Zifeng sniffed vigorously, with a look of enjoyment on his face, which gave Qi An goosebumps.
Zhai Zifeng said with a smile: "So in our place, you are more fragrant than gardenias."
This somewhat sweet metaphor made Qi An feel a little uncomfortable, he twitched the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "So you followed me because of this smell?"
Zhai Zifeng didn't blush, and nodded at him with a smile: "That's right!"
Qi An secretly rolled his eyes.
Sure enough, there is nothing perfect in the world, how can we know that it is not a blessing, how can we know that it is not a disaster.Originally, he thought that he could be at ease from now on, but he didn't expect that he just entered the tiger's den from Longtan.
It seems that things like doom cannot be solved by escaping.
Qi An: "Then let me ask you one last question."
Zhai Zifeng said, "Say it."
"Would you be able to settle them as long as I let you find the old man's relics? That's your fellow disciple."
Zhai Zifeng nodded: "I'm a blind man, and they don't intend to let me live."
Qi An smiled wordlessly, and the scene of Zhai Tianyang's dying time appeared in his mind again.The old man has always been healthy and healthy, but one day, for some reason, he stood up from the chair too quickly and fell back on the spot.They tried their best to save the old man's life, but since then, Zhai Tianyang's health has been deteriorating, until finally he was unable to recover.
Qi An still remembered that Zhai Tianyang couldn't speak clearly at that time, and even told him with gestures and squeaks that there was a wooden box in his belongings. give him.
It seems to have met.
Qi An didn't want to touch things that didn't belong to him, so he never opened that box, and didn't know what was inside, and of course he didn't want to know what was inside.
So when Qi An wanted to ask Zhai Zifeng what kind of quarrel he had with those fellow disciples from Yinyang Mountain, he just opened his mouth, but finally held back.
He didn't want to know so much.
With the development of the matter today, Qi An actually has some vague guesses about what happened to Yinyang Mountain. Although he is not sure, he is probably close to ten.So it's not that he is lenient or drifting with the crowd, it's just that he trusts this person faintly from the bottom of his heart.
He has been immersed in the muddy waters of the court for so many years. Although he is not very clever, at least he knows how to distinguish people.What kind of old fox is there in the Golden Luan Hall, and since Qi An has already "died" once, he has no idea which sentence people say is true and which is false, and whether this person has any evil intentions. Have your own judgment.
If he didn't ask so much back then, maybe he would still be staying in the northern border as his King of Beisu now.
And although he didn't know the reason, Qi An could tell that Zhai Zifeng didn't get along with his classmates, otherwise he wouldn't be wandering here in such a despondent way.
Qi An smiled indistinctly, fell back on the bed sideways, and then snuggled into the bed.
Zhai Zifeng saw that he didn't intend to care about him at all, and suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable: "Don't you want to know why I have trouble with them?"
Qi An lay on his side with his back facing him, calmly said four words: "None of my business."
Zhai Zifeng bowed down.
Martial arts practitioners don't doze off too much, the two of them fell asleep in the middle of the night, and set off again early the next morning.Originally, Qi An said that if he wanted to take Zhai Tianyang's relics, he would go north with him directly, but who knew that Zhai Zifeng wanted to take him to Jinling first, Qi An couldn't hold back him, so he had no choice but to go along.
Unfortunately, when they left the inn the next day, they found that the horse had been stolen.
Qi An scolded his mother in his heart, thinking that since he met this blind man, nothing good would happen.
Zhai Zifeng got up in the morning and wrapped the black gauze again, so Qi An couldn't see his eyes, only this man was still giggling heartlessly.
It is really a magnificent flower in this world.
"It's okay," Qi An comforted himself, "Anqing and Jinling are both near the river, so we can still walk by water."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he proposed this idea, it was rejected by that donkey Zhai Zifeng.
Zhai Xianren said that even if his leg was broken, he would never take a boat.
There was no way, Qi An couldn't force people to go up there, and finally thought of a compromise—they used a bullock cart to pull goods.
unfortunately
