Dragon Slay

Howling jackdaws shook their feathers on the treetops, and the howling wind blew the few remaining leaves on the branches.A cold moon hung in the sky, and the cold light fell on the dilapidated village outside the forest.In the dilapidated hut at the front of the village, half of the loess wall collapsed, and a black dog was barking crazily.There was a rattling sound of the torn paper pasted on the window, and bright or dark candlelight came out from the room.

"There is no one in this broken village." A whisper came out.

"So what? It's enough to have a place to live. Speaking of it, it's not your fault. If you didn't go back and forth, we would have returned to Jiangcheng long ago."

Cobwebs covered the beams, and a pair of couplets pasted on the two pillars in the house also peeled off at this time, leaving only a little ink stains.The quilt on the bed was also covered with dust, and when it was shaken, it caused people to cough again and again.The candles were found by rummaging through boxes and chests. There were only two stools that were barely clean enough to sit on.

"There are so many houses in the village, why do you want this dilapidated one?" He muttered in a low voice with dissatisfaction, the person sitting on the stool stood up abruptly, and his knee happened to hit the corner of the table, causing the candle to wobble Shaking, nearly falling.

These two people are Wu Xuanhuang and Duan Yuqing who came from Yunmiao Sect.Originally, Wu Xuanhuang was going to Dragon Slaying Valley to look for Changli, but after seeing a dragon shadow, Wu Xuanhuang changed his mind and insisted on returning to Jiangcheng.Duan Yuqing was still worried about meeting someone from Duanyang Villa, but after Wu Xuanhuang's repeated assurances, he would follow her as well.After a few months, I'm afraid those people really did not want to look for themselves as Wu Xuanhuang said.Thinking about it this way, I feel a little bit cold while letting go.

The door was shaken by the howling cold wind, Wu Xuanhuang rubbed his knees, snorted, went to the door and barred the dilapidated wooden door with his hand, dragging another cabinet behind it.She gave Duan Yuqing a sideways look, but she still couldn't help complaining: "It looks like no one has lived in this house for a long time."

"This village is empty, but it was clearly a different scene a few months ago." Duan Yuqing stood up, her eyes fell on Wu Xuanhuang's lap, after hesitating for a while, she sat back down again, "This This house used to be deserted, but compared to others in the village, it’s normal.” She didn’t believe in ghosts and gods at first, but after meeting Wu Xuanhuang, many cognitions were overturned, and she wandered outside for a while. In the circle, she has seen a lot of things that cannot be explained by common sense, so she has a keen sense of weird things.

"The Wumen recruits disciples widely in the rivers and lakes, as the young master of the Wumen, do you know that?" Seeing that Wu Xuanhuang pursed his lips and did not answer, Duan Yuqing asked again. "It even got mixed up with Duanyang Villa."

"That's just others acting in the name of my witch family." Wu Xuanhuang curled her lips and replied, but she didn't know for sure that those elders would do such a thing.A few days ago, many things happened in the rivers and lakes, but the quiet these days is a bit scary.No one knows what kind of evil things will rush out of a pool of stagnant water. "Anyway, we're almost at Jiangcheng, why don't we go secretly to Duanyang Villa to find out."

"Okay." Duan Yuqing nodded.

For a while, the two were speechless.There was a bang bang coming from outside the house, mixed with the sound of nails on wood.Duan Yuqing had goose bumps all over her body, she stood up abruptly, and pressed her hands heavily on the table.Wu Xuanhuang was taken aback by her action, frowned and asked, "What are you doing, to scare me?" Seeing that Duan Yuqing's expression was a little abnormal, he quickly walked to her side and helped her sit still.

"Do you think the atmosphere is weird?" Duan Yuqing asked in a low voice.

"Are you bewitched?" Wu Xuanhuang sneered, and patted the back of her hand, signaling her to be relieved. "But no one spoke, it's so quiet, let's talk. You must want to ask me why I didn't go to Dragon Slaying Valley. It's because the dragon shadow we saw before is indeed real. Chu Jiu has already left Dragon Slaying Valley , There seems to be some problems between her and Jianli. As for the elders of the Wumen, I don't feel that something happened to them. The real dragon left safely, and they will definitely not stay in Dragon Slaying Valley again."

"Ah—" Duan Yuqing screamed suddenly.

"..." Wu Xuanhuang felt a little helpless in her heart, she held Duan Yuqing's hand tightly, and sighed, "Yuqing, you are very strange tonight."

"Outside—" Duan Yuqing gritted his teeth, with a hint of horror in his eyes.

Wu Xuanhuang turned his head abruptly, the shadows of the two of them were projected on the window sills, and the dead tree branches outside could be seen swaying in the wind. "There is nothing outside, don't be startled, I will be scared away by you." Wu Xuanhuang said jokingly, she stretched out her hand to hug Duan Yuqing into her arms, and said, "Go to sleep, tomorrow We have to go back to Duanyang Villa to find out."

How could Duan Yuqing fall asleep? She took a deep breath and buried her head on Wu Xuanhuang's shoulder.The faint fragrance enveloped her, and her heart suddenly settled down.Consciously stretching her arms around Wu Xuanhuang's waist, she allowed herself a little indulgence in this extraordinary night.

Wu Xuanhuang looked down at Duan Yuqing's black hair, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.After brushing Duan Yuqing's soft long hair, she gently stroked Duan Yuqing's back with her hand, as if putting a child to sleep, and softly sang those mysterious songs of the Wumen.The sound of wind and insects outside could not be heard at all, only Wu Xuan Huang Qingling's singing lingered in her ears. Gradually, Duan Yuqing felt drowsy, she closed her eyes, and slowly calmed down her restless heart. settled down.

It's just that God is used to not allowing people to sleep well, and when she was about to fall asleep, there was a bang bang bang sound.This is not her illusion, even Wu Xuanhuang has heard it. "Hush—" Wu Xuanhuang put her hand to her lips, and made a silent gesture, her eyes were fixed on the loud wooden door that was slapped.The wooden cabinet behind it was moving slowly, and the crumbling broken door couldn't last long.

Duan Yuqing slid out of Wu Xuanhuang's arms, and put his hand on the long sword.

Wu Xuanhuang tiptoed to the window, as if he wanted to jump out from there to find out.It's just that when she saw something outside the window, she felt so sick that she wanted to gag.She suddenly understood the reason for Duan Yuqing's uncharacteristic behavior.Seeing that Duan Yuqing was about to walk over, she waved her hand and said seriously, "Don't move."

The banging stopped.

Wu Xuanhuang and Duan Yuqing looked at each other without moving.

After a while, a tired voice came from outside the house: "Open the door."

is a person?Wu Xuanhuang raised his eyebrows, as long as he was human, it would be easy.She didn't respond, but just sat down at the table and waited for the person outside calmly.

Leave or break in.

"Bump—" There was another loud noise, and the dust fell violently.Not to mention the broken wooden door, even the cabinet behind the door was split in half.Bitter energy rushed head-on, and the flickering candlelight was instantly extinguished.Wu Xuanhuang has already drifted aside with Duan Yuqing in his arms.In the dark room, only a few coughs were heard.This move was enough to see this person's cultivation, and Wu Xuanhuang's heart immediately rose to his throat.

"I told you to open the door, why are you still dawdling?" A bright light rose in the small shabby house, followed by a somewhat reproachful voice.Wu Xuanhuang took a closer look, the woman in Tsing Yi standing by the door holding a knife, isn't she just a common sight?I didn't recognize her voice for a while.The nervous heart suddenly fell back, and Wu Xuanhuang said angrily, "Scared me again, who knew it was you? Speaking of which, you didn't stay in Dragon Slaying Valley, why did you come to Jiangcheng all of a sudden?"

"Looking for someone." Chang Changli replied, covering his mouth and nose with his hands.

"Ninth day? What's the matter between you two? Has the matter been resolved after returning to Dragon Slaying Valley? What did Jiu Xuan say? Where's your mother?" Wu Xuanhuang asked several questions in one breath.

"These things are a long story." Chang Changli frowned, she glanced at Duan Yuqing coldly, then turned her gaze back to Wu Xuanhuang, and continued, "I have something to ask you too. You six elders of the Wu sect Come to Dragon Slaying Valley, you should know, right? I didn’t attack them because of your face. But what’s going on in this village? What are those old gangsters at Duanyang Villa doing?”

"Who knows." Wu Xuanhuang shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands helplessly, "Those elders never listen to me, my aunt Wushang, you must have seen her before, right? I told her a lot Don't you just ignore her? I wish I could fly to your mother's side with both wings."

Hearing Chang Xiao's name, Chang Li's eyebrows almost frowned.

"You said you were looking for someone, why did you come to Jiangcheng? Are you sure you returned to Jiangcheng on the ninth day of the ninth day? How did you find this small village, and how did you know that I was in it?" Wu Xuanhuang changed the subject again, asked curiously.

"Do you know the Holy Realm above the Martial Realm?" Chang Li didn't answer, but said very lightly.Before Wu Xuanhuang could answer, she turned her body sideways, so that all the scenes outside fell into Wu Xuanhuang's eyes.

The author has something to say: it's almost over.
