one of my alchemist friends

eyes.

In Mo Chengkong's view, Bairan's move is to draw a clear line with him in terms of words and actions.So unfeeling?Meng Qingyang and Gao Jian are both his people, so they are helpless now?

No wonder!

Suddenly a plan came to mind.As if nothing had happened, he approached the inner hall, knocked on the door with the handle of his fan, and said with a smile: "Mr. Leng, is the corner of the wall comfortable to hear?"

There was no one inside the door.

Mo Chengkong said again: "I have seen through the true heart of the young master, so I can let go of my guard. As you have heard, I have encountered some troubles and urgently need help."

The door was slowly opened, and a human voice came out: "Didn't you promise him not to investigate further?"

He countered: "You still guarantee that you are a gentleman! Isn't it just listening to someone's private talk."

Leng Xiyu coughed a few times and said, "I am a gentleman. It just so happens that I was born with excellent hearing, so I don't want to."

"All right, all right, you're the best. I'm too lazy to argue with you." Mo Chengkong supported the crack of the door with one hand, and stuck one foot in, and said, "Can you help me?"

He hesitated for a while, then replied, "How can I help?"

"Keep an eye on the movement over there, and - think of a way for me to contact Senior Bai Yan." As long as I can touch it, that's fine.It's fine if there is a misunderstanding, if there is something...

Ugh, headache.

Both inside and outside the door sighed.

Ever since he saw through Leng Xiyu's true nature, the other party not only let go of his guard, but also seemed to bury him on the spot.At the beginning, he only thought that Second Brother Leng was a little angry and had a bad temper. Now that he thought about it, Leng Xiyu's training was completely self-inflicted!

"Wash your hands before entering the house. I saw you holding the door frame."

"Don't step on it when you come in, your shoes are dirty."

"Sit with a straight back and don't sway."

"Here, the hem is dirty. If you are short, go to the garment room to make it shorter."

……

How good the original camouflage was.Why on earth did he want to expose him with his cheap words... Mo Chengkong deeply understood the meaning of "If I hadn't been unable to beat you, I would have turned against you long ago".

Leng Xiyu didn't notice his inner struggle at all, tapped a few times with his jade fingers, and said: "It's easy to spot people, how do you think about it? I only met Senior White once or twice in total. Since he deliberately avoids you, he will only make you worse." Difficult to reach."

"It's not enough to be soft, it's better to be tough." Mo Chengkong flexed his wrist a few times, "If you risk your life, you can always get a chance to get close."

"Not necessarily." Leng Xiyu raised her eyelids, and gave him a regretful look, "You will be torn apart by his sword energy before you get close. Oh, it's raining."

"If you don't, I'll take advantage of the chaos..."

"Shh, someone is coming." Leng Xiyu squinted her eyes slightly, listened carefully, and said in a low voice, "My clothes are still wet after holding an umbrella, I'm afraid they came all the way."

Mo Chengkong sighed in admiration: "You can hear it."

"Small." He habitually showed a standard smile, but it quickly froze. "He wants to come in!"

Immediately there was a knock on the door: "Cheng Kong, are you there?"

It is white dye. "I'm here." Mo Chengkong replied.

"Then I..."

Leng Xiyu was the first to say: "Mr. Bai, wait a minute! Please don't come in." While dipping in tea, he wrote on the table: "Going and going in the rain, there is mud under the shoes."Mo Chengkong suppressed the urge to take the teacup and throw him.

Bairan was puzzled: "Why?"

Um?You can't confess that we conspired to cheat your uncle!The two exchanged glances, and Leng Xiyu replied, "It's not very convenient."

No, there seems to be something wrong with this atmosphere.

The three fell silent.After a while, Mo Chengkong got up to say goodbye, opened the door and went out.Bairan looked at him from head to toe several times before saying: "I can't find you everywhere after I come back, come here to try my luck. Shall I go?"

"Let's go." Mo Chengkong smiled back at him.The two shared an umbrella and were submerged in the rain.

July and a half

The oil-paper umbrella was not big, and the two of them were crowded together.Mo Chengkong's left sleeve was soaked with water, and it was wet and stuck to his arm, making him very uncomfortable.Turning my face to look at Bairan, I saw that most of his body was soaked in the rain and he didn't care, the umbrella was completely tilted to his side.

Remembering that Bairan almost didn't survive because of being submerged in water back then, he raised his hand and pushed the handle of the umbrella back to the center, saying, "Life is not easy, don't spoil yourself."

"Aren't you too." Bairan thought for a while, then handed him the umbrella, squatting down in front of him, and said, "Come up."

Mo Chengkong really wanted to refuse, but the wound on his arm really couldn't touch the water, and continuing to push and resign would only make both of them drenched in water.So he pretended to be reserved a few times, climbed up his back quickly, put one arm around his neck, and held an umbrella with the other.

It's rare to be so close to Bairan, so close that every breath is his scent.Xu Shi's neck was itchy when he exhaled, he twisted his neck unconsciously, Mo Chengkong quickly turned his head to the side, and quietly held his breath.Just let him carry it around, feeling safe and secure, and feeling sleepy as soon as he relaxes.

"Why don't you speak?" The voice of the person in front of him lingered in his head. He tried his best to listen to every word, but his eyelids seemed to be heavy, which made him unable to open them, and his consciousness was also lost. He could only say "hmmm" answer.

Bairan didn't notice it, but when he was still brooding about the incident earlier and felt displeased, he comforted him and said, "It's my fault, I shouldn't murder you, but you also know that my uncle is like me. As important as a father, I don't want to suspect him for no reason."

"Uh-huh……"

"Can you really understand me? Heh, if you can, I beg you to be more tolerant and understanding to my uncle. After all, it will always be...cough, I mean, if you don't dislike it, we...huh?" The shoulders suddenly sank, The sound of even breathing envelops the ears——Mo Chengkong finally couldn't resist the drowsiness, and fell asleep with his head tilted, while his right hand remained stiff in the umbrella position.

"It's just that I didn't hear it. What a dream." Bai Ran tilted her face, rubbed his head lightly, and bent her mouth inadvertently.

Choose the right allies, and the efficiency is so high that it will fly.It took only one night, but the next day Leng Xiyu sent someone to invite him, nicknamed "to discuss important matters together."After finally avoiding Bairan and slipping out to meet, the other party looked at ease, but said: "Two good news and two bad news, what do you want to hear first?"

Mo Chengkong was too lazy to go around in circles with him, so he said, "Whatever you want, as long as you are happy."

Leng Xiyu said "Oh?", calmly, and said: "This is the first piece of good news. Since the two of you left yesterday, I have dispatched a few confidants to lurk outside Bai Xun's house. Take a close look."

"The bad thing is that after receiving the news in the middle of the night, the whole family drove to Anyang Temple on the outskirts of the city overnight to worship the Buddha. The subordinates dare not follow too closely for fear of being exposed."

Nothing to do in the temple... He thought of those little dolls who made sky lanterns, and he understood: "Today is July and a half." In the middle of the month, the gate of ghosts opens'. It is inevitable that some people will take the opportunity to make trouble, apprentice, you can take care of yourself."Mo Chengkong suddenly felt flustered, and said nervously: "If Senior Bai Yan is really an insider, wouldn't it be dangerous to count people now!"

"Uh... That's the reason. Don't worry, I haven't finished yet." Leng Xiyu drank tea to moisten her throat, and said, "Anyang Temple is under the jurisdiction of my family, and the guards are fully equipped, and I have already arranged several people to pretend to be Ordinary pilgrims drive with them."

Mo Chengkong pinched his fingers and said helplessly, "There is one piece of bad news left, what is it?"

Leng Xiyu put away her smile, her eyes were sharp and cold, and she said clearly, "We have lost contact with the guards stationed in Anyang Temple. This has never happened before. Not only that, go and talk to Several of Che’s subordinates are also missing, including the man and the car.”

Mo Chengkong pondered for a moment, and came to a conclusion: "The only way to find out what's going on is by going there personally."

"That's exactly what I mean. But, you are not in the same boat."

"For..." Before the words "he" could be uttered, a spell that he was all too familiar with had firmly engulfed his lower body, making him unable to move.Bai family confinement technique.He didn't even have to guess who was nearby.Mo Chengkong gritted his teeth and whispered, "You sold me?"

Leng Xiyu pressed him to sit down, and replied in a low voice: "Not yet." He deliberately raised his voice, and said, "The whole family knows about the disappearance of the guard and disciple, and everyone is panic-stricken. I and Mr. Bai immediately set off to investigate After all, to comfort everyone."

"What about me?" He was only able to move his upper body, and he was still extremely restless grabbing out of thin air, and he couldn't keep a piece of the sleeves of the person in front of him, so he had to force himself to try to get up.

"You? Housekeeper." Seeing him staggering to stand up, Leng Xiyu pushed him down again out of fun.A long sword penetrated into the bottom of his hand and pushed his hand away.Bai Ran held his sword in his arms and looked at him coldly. When he walked away, Fang squatted down and said in a gentle voice, "I made this decision because I was afraid that you would run away. You haven't recovered from your injury, so don't follow me around. Gao Jian and Miss Meng will come to accompany you." relieve boredom."

"I know you have many ways to get out...promise me, be good, and wait for me to come back. Okay?" Bairan's tone was almost pleading, and his eyes were even softer when he looked at him.

Mo Chengkong was stunned for a moment, and after confirming that what he had heard was correct, he nodded slowly, but there was a strange feeling in his heart that he couldn't explain clearly.

There is Anyang Mountain tens of miles to the north of Chulengzhai. The situation is extremely dangerous, and the mountain is as steep as a sword.Anyang Temple is located on the top of the mountain.It was about half a day's journey, and everyone rode their horses to the foot of the mountain, and then changed to fly with their swords, and then they reached the top.

The gate of the temple was ajar, and the blood seeping from the crack of the door meandered down to the steps.Pushing open the door, everyone present was slightly surprised by the sight in front of them.The corpses were lying on the ground, and the death was tragic, with blood everywhere, and there was no place to stay wherever they went.

After a cursory glance, no uncles, elder brothers and others were listed.Because of the previous incident as an example, Bairan asked: "Is there an ancestral hall in the temple?" A regular visitor replied: "No."

Although there is no ancestral hall, each hall for chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha is worth checking one by one.Not long after the order was given, someone came to report that a person was found in the main hall, and it was still uncertain whether he was dead or alive.

Everyone rushed to hear the news
