Sir, this sword is a keepsake

At night, the rain stops, the air is clear, and a round of bright moon hangs high on the top of the mountain.In the middle of the river, the boat is shaking, and the surroundings are quiet, occasionally there are a few waves of water, but they are also lazy and weak, as if all the living things are exhausted, staying on this long river road, accompanied by the green hills and the bright moon on both sides. Getting old.

"Grandpa, when there was a flood, did many people drown here?"

As soon as Shen Fang woke up, he heard this question that surprised him suddenly.Speaking from Kui Niangzi's mouth, coupled with her innocent tone, it is even more weird.

"Then why do I still think the sound of the river flowing is so pleasant." Kui Niangzi's thin voice was exceptionally clear.

"Grandpa, the Kunlun snow mountain has melted, and the surface of the Daigo River will be as high as that small hillside."

Shen Fang gently rolled up the bamboo curtain, seeing the shadow of the mountain receding continuously, and the boat was moving much faster than during the day.If he is not on a poor road, in this situation, he can't help but feel frivolous and carefree.

People go by the bright moon and return by the river.He closed his eyes, and such a sentence appeared in his mind, it was the sword's intention.

The silence outside the cabin returned, did you notice that he woke up?Not long after, the door of the cabin was pushed open, and Kui Niangzi walked in holding a half-burning candle. She just glanced at Shen Fang, but quickly avoided her eyes.It was only then that Shen Fang noticed that his clothes were all off and his upper body was exposed.However, he didn't have time to consider etiquette, justice, and shame, and the shocking crimson pattern on his right chest made his throat tighten.

He's not just dead, he's already dead.

Suddenly, there was a high-pitched roar from the cliffs on both sides of the strait. Shen Fang leaned out of the window and looked up, only to see a huge black shadow flying through the forest on the top of the mountain.It was only a blink of an eye, and it was gone, and then a shrill and narrow bird song was heard.

Is Bei Mingyuan catching its prey?Just as he was thinking, Shen Fang heard Gui Xuzi calling him.

"Come out."

Kui Niangzi left the candle on the ground outside the door, and she disappeared.Shen Fang picked up his clothes and put them on, walked out, and immediately saw a corpse lying across the stern.

The corpse was placed facing down, with a face attached to the wooden board, facing the sinking direction.The body was already swollen beyond shape, and the facial features had long been deformed.Just now, Kui Niangzi just passed by this corpse, and she didn't seem to respond.

"Daoist Guixuzi, how do you know that this is not Nangong Lingyun's body?"

In Shen Fang's mind, Nangong Lingyun's vivid demeanor when he was dressed as a woman appeared in Shen Fang's mind, and he resisted the urge to beat his chest, just wanting to completely forget the image of that person.

"See if he has webbed feet."

"Webbed?"

Shen Fang picked up the candle on the ground and moved closer to the man's legs. When he saw that there was a transparent whitish film between the man's toes, he felt nauseated.

"Who is this... who?"

"A native of Chicheng in the East China Sea."

Shen Fang said suspiciously, "But, my mother's feet seem...not like this."

"Men in Chicheng in the East China Sea have webbed since ancient times. Later, in order to adapt to life on land, and to adapt to the folk customs of Daliang on the one hand, the unformed webbed will be burned with fire as soon as a boy is born."

"Then what happened to this man, and why did he drown in this river?" The "web" in front of Shen Fang was no different from that of a frog in the field, and it was extremely complete.

"Nowadays, there is only one place in the world where there are fully grown webbed people, and that is the Daliang Palace. My junior brother Lu Hongyue raised a few on purpose. It seems that he came to Wuyou Peak this time with a helper. Of course the poor man in front of you is not drowned."

Hearing this, the sunflower lady suddenly laughed again.

Shen Fang found that she actually liked to laugh, but the things that made her laugh always seemed a little strange or cruel.

"How did that die?" He restrained his nausea, brought the candle closer, observed the wrinkled skin of the man, and smelled a smell of wet mud.

It's starting to stink.

A small portion of the man's right arm, which was covered up and down, was exposed, and it had turned dark purple, like moldy wood.

"The wound is like a mosquito bite, it is on the right wrist."

"This kind of poison..." Shen Fang said decisively, "Nangong Lingyun killed him."

Nangong Lingyun, and even the so-called "Nangong Fuyun", always use needles.That night at the edge of Yunchuan in Lianyun City was simply a play planned by Nangong Lingyun!The person who was shocked by Shen Fang's sword energy, put Zhuang Li in a dangerous place, and finally jumped into the river to escape was actually Nangong Lingyun, who they thought was "Nangong Fuyun".

Shen Xin was angry, but when he thought of Nangong Lingyun who vowed to seize the sword manual, he helped him many times, his anger gradually disappeared.

"It's as good as his own life is not dead." He muttered, walking towards the bow.Both Guixuzi and Kui Niangzi were sitting there.The straw hut has been put away, and Guixuzi sits cross-legged on the bamboo mat, while Kui Niangzi sits with her knees hugged, with bare feet, beating up and down rhythmically, looking very comfortable.

"Wuxianglou hides needles in the cotton and brushes willows next to flowers. That kid from Nangong is really handy with it, even greener than blue, but I saw that the toxin in the webman was far more than what was needed to kill him, and the toxins were all accumulated in his right palm. And his right arm, it seems that the situation was very dangerous at that time, and Nangong was able to escape with all his strength."

"I hope he won't be locked up in the mountains after escaping the webbed man."

"I'm not worried about that kid, it's just you..."

"I want to get rid of this fog cocoon." As soon as Shen Fang said, he found that Kui Niangzi's restless legs suddenly stopped moving.

And his own pause was almost imperceptible.

"Guixuzi Daoist, even if there is no Hualongzhan, is there another way? I got rid of the fog cocoon for the puppet saint at that time in Lianyun City. No matter how bad it is, at worst, use the same method to gouge out the cocoon from the body. "

"How is the saint now?"

"I, I asked Nangong Lingyun to take care of her for me. I just remember that after taking out the fog cocoon, her mind was a little out of order, like... like losing her mind..."

"One thing and one mind, this is the law of heaven. She has been one body and two minds for a long time, and she hastily took out the fog heart, so naturally she lost her mind."

"But after all, I was only affected by it for a few days. If it wasn't for Lu Hongyue's finger—" Shen Fang stopped talking, but it was already too late, and the hatred in the amber eyes would not be concealed .

Guixu Zi Fuxu smiled and said, "Shen Fang, if I'm not wrong, you should go to Luoyang and give away the sword manual in name, not only to avenge your senior brother, but also to trouble my evil junior brother."

"I won't obstruct you, but I have to remind you that I sent people into Qingzhou ten days ago, but I haven't heard any reply from Yongxia Villa so far. This makes me wonder what happened to Qingzhou."

Shen Fang raised his eyes, his eyes fixed, "However, my mother has used the raving sword to scare me several times in dreams. If there is something wrong, how can she still have such thoughts to play tricks on me?"

Guixuzi shrugged rather indifferently, "I don't know, Mrs. Shen has always been open."

"...Daozhang, this junior has two more questions."

"First, this junior wants to know how much the Taoist priest knows about Xu Yiwei in Yanzhishan. He sent Zhuang Li to me to protect me and send the sword into the palace. I asked Zhuang Li why, but Xu Yiwei gave The reason is... it is hard to convince the juniors."

"I'm not familiar with you." Gui Xuzi replied too simply, "Although he claims to be the master of Yanzhi Mountain, he always appears and disappears like a ghost, unlike your father, who went to Yongxia Mountain Villa to look for him, and he caught everyone right away.

"..."

"The golden crow flies and the jade rabbit flies away, and the green temples are evergreen."

Guixuzi suddenly sang a poem seriously, Shen Fang was a little at a loss, thought Kui Niangzi was about to laugh again, but she was surprisingly dull right now.

"Xu Yiwei asked me about the method of everlasting greenness. I think he has lived for more than half his life, and his body is beginning to age. In Lianyun City, you haven't seen him?"

Shen Fang shook his head, "He also asked Zhuang Li to take the precious medicine from Qihuangfang without authorization."

"Here, he has the method of everlasting greenness, so why does he need ordinary nourishing medicine?" Guixuzi asked with serious surprise, "Do you know what those medicines are exactly?"

Shen Fang worked hard for you to recall, "According to my father, they are some supplements that prolong life and nourish the skin."

In the dim light of the candlelight, Gui Xuzi turned his face, his huge nose protruded, which was very obvious. He stared into Shen Fang's eyes, "This is definitely impossible, unless..."

His voice changed abruptly, "Mistress Kui, cover your ears."

Shen Fang hurriedly said: "Ah, Taoist priest, I know what you mean, this is even more impossible..."

"Why, judging by your expression, you are not very happy?"

"This junior... how can I be happy at this moment."

"During the day, you knew that it was Bei Mingyuan who saved you, but you were all beaming with joy."

"Grandpa, don't play tricks on others."

Before Shen Fang could respond, Lady Kui suddenly spoke for him.Gui Xuzi smiled awkwardly, "Go on and ask."

"I was in Lianyun City. I met a good swordsman who claimed to be Dongliu. He revealed that he is from Xiliang. I suspect that he is a grass-inch person."

"Here, Huyan Dongliu, why did you take the initiative to find you?"

"Huyan Dongliu? Then isn't he a member of the Xiliang royal family—"

"That's right, the leader of Inch Grass is him."

"The High Priest Su Wei has admitted that my senior brother's death was caused by an inch of grass. My senior brother died under the knife. If he didn't, Huyan Dongliu was the one who killed my senior brother."

Shen Fang suddenly punched and hammered the wooden board on the side. The wooden board shattered, and the rough wooden thorns pierced into the back of his hand. Looking at the burr on it, pull it out for Shen Fang little by little.

"This...thank you, Mrs. Kui."

Kui Niangzi held tightly, Shen Fang wanted to push away, but found that it would hurt her, so he had to give up, and thanked solemnly.

"Well, so to speak, he is indeed the common enemy of you and Qi Di. Why, can you consider leaving the matter of Lu Hongyue killing you behind and join hands with Qi Di to get rid of Huyan Dongliu first?" Gui Xuzi As he talked, seeing Shen Fang's weird and tangled expression, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Don't laugh." Kui Niangzi said.

"Okay, okay, grandpa stopped laughing." Gui Ruzizi raised his hand to straighten his clothes, and with a twitch of his mouth, he finally had the airs of a master, "Shen Fang."

"Hey." Shen Fang was slightly startled when he was suddenly called by his full name.

"I've been talking for a long time, whether it's saving your own life or avenging your brother, in fact, you have something that can help you. You can comprehend the night mist with your current swordsmanship. You might as well try to practice Spring and Autumn Nineteen—"

Shen Fang felt as if he had just woken up from a dream. He forgot that Kui Niangzi was still pulling out the wooden thorn for him, and suddenly stood up, bumping into Kui Niangzi staggering. He reacted very quickly and immediately reached out to support her.

"Under the cabin, it's placed together with the useless Hualong lamp." Guixuzi showed surprise, "I thought you would refuse for a while, but I didn't expect to have coveted your family's "Spring and Autumn Nineteen" Huh? If I were your father, I would rather die than violate the family rules. I don’t know what Xiao girl likes about him..."

Shen Fang didn't care about Guixu, calling his mother Mrs. Shen for a while, and Miss Xiao for a while, went straight to the cabin, touched the gate on the floor, pulled out the wooden peg, and went down in one go, and found the familiar book. At the same time, I saw a dim copper lamp.A lifelike flying dragon surrounds the relief on the outer wall of the copper cup.
