Yan Fei

With one leg hanging down, Qi Sujian was absent-mindedly driving the horse, while holding the tail feather in his hand, thinking about what Jiu Wenqian said before leaving.

He is a martial artist, besides using violence to solve the problem, how else can he be straightforward?

With the carriage, the journey was really much faster, the sun was just right, the curtains of the carriage compartment were drawn, Ye Shen was lying in the carriage and taking a nap, the wind blowing the hair on his forehead fluttering randomly.

Qi Sujian looked at him restlessly for a while, then suddenly covered her forehead - what was that called last night? !

He, he is really impatient... If Ye Man knows that the leaf ginseng has been eaten and wiped off by him, I am afraid that he will have skin cramps... and he will be asked to go to the Gusu Pavilion to skewer him and roast him No.

He thought wildly, and found out the pain that had been buried in his heart for a long time by joy.

Ye Shen is only so old... His elder brother and second elder brother were all hugged by their mothers, he was the only one who was raised by a nanny when he was a child. I heard that Ye Man would not let him go after he was able to leave Someone hugged him, and he ran crookedly in Gusu Pavilion by himself. If there were no spies watching him, I am afraid he would not have grown to such a big size.

His health may not be much better. I heard that a few years ago, he was still a sick man who would gasp for breath when he walked two or three steps. Later, Gusu Pavilion recruited a group of doctors, and he took care of himself while learning. This is the only way to be alive and kicking.

Calculating the time, when he crossed the river at Yiwei, it was not long before he met Ye Shen who could move freely.

He has never seen his most emaciated years, but met his most exciting years.

Qi Sujian reached out to straighten the broken hair on his sideburns for him, and continued on his way.

The distance between Xunluo and Tenglang is relatively close, and even the industries are closely related.

Xunluo planted vines, and the rattan corridor purchased rattans from Xunluo. At first, they made rattan baskets, brooms and other household items. Everywhere, so the rattan corridor is actually another place where mechanism masters gather besides Yiwei crossing the river.

However, the vines grown outside Xunluo Town were not easy for the carriage to pass by, so Qi Sujian had no choice but to drive the horse and run from the wilderness.

At that time, it was already the second morning after they set off from Zoumatang, and the sun was just right. Ye Shen was sitting by the door of the carriage, twirling the tail feather one after another, watching it shine brightly in the sun. surface.

"Ye Shen, put away your tail feathers."

"Huh?" Ye Shen looked at Qi Sujian puzzled.Compared to before, he was slightly paler. After being exposed to the wind and the sun, his skin is now a little darker, and every inch is a healthy color. "Why?"

"Be obedient. Sit down, and you will be in the rattan corridor soon."

So Ye Shen took his tail feathers into his arms unhurriedly, and wiped the thin sweat on his forehead from the hot weather.

The carriage was moving forward slowly. Suddenly, the sky darkened, and the bright sunshine just now disappeared without a trace. Thick fog appeared in all directions, and a few pillars so tall as to connect the sky and the earth loomed in front of them. .

Qi Sujian suddenly felt something was wrong, he tightened the reins suddenly, stood up and squinted his eyes to look at the distance, jumped off the carriage, turned to Ye Shen and said: "You go back the same way in the carriage, until you see the town Don't stop, I will come back to find you after I settle this matter."

"What happened?"

Qi Sujian shook her head: "...I don't know, the fog is so thick that I can't see clearly."

"Then I won't go back."

"I'm afraid I can't protect you well. Go back obediently, so I can rest assured."

Hearing this, Ye Shen was not very happy: "You martial arts practitioners, don't take it as your duty to protect the common people all day long! I am crippled or my hand is broken, can I keep up with asking you to protect me like a treasure all day long?" ?”

Qi Sujian was puzzled: "Isn't it just protecting the treasure?"

"..." Ye Shen was stunned for a moment, his face blushed violently, then he flicked his sleeves, turned the horse's head cursingly, waved his long whip stiffly, and went back the same way.

Ye Shen is not around, although it is a little awkward, but it is better than being trapped in it with myself.

Qi Sujian smoked Dongxueshuang, put the sword sheath into her bosom, and moved forward steadily to test it.

As he gradually entered it, the fog thickened.When he got to those pillars, he could hardly see his surroundings clearly.

Qi Sujian frowned, and slowly pulled Dong Xueshuang back.In fact, he had some confidence in his heart and knew who was going to trap him here, and he was ambushed in the suburbs, so it was not difficult to guess that this person—or these people—had followed him since the vicinity of Zoumatang. up.

In the worst case, he has already been targeted by all directions.

What he and Young Master Chi were talking about before were just listening to a small part of the immoral things that Bafang did. Hearing Bafang not only inquired about gossip, but also released some news about his whereabouts and transactions, which he could buy with money.

And his whereabouts are naturally the best sellers.

Qi Sujian walked around the pillar a few times, and also got close to the pillar during the process, wanting to take a closer look at the ghosts and monsters on it.I just looked at it, but I couldn't understand those complicated patterns.

He didn't dare to approach it casually, and with every step he took, the ground under his feet seemed to squirm inch by inch, and a disgusting feeling rushed from the soles of his feet to the back of his head, making his goosebumps fall all over the floor.

At this moment, Dong Xueshuang in his hand suddenly let out a sharp and long hum, and countless black bugs crawled out of Dong Xueshuang's snow-white knife, and the sound of carapaces colliding attracted Qi Sujian to hold the sword His hands were numb and trembling.If an ordinary person would have thrown away this sword long ago, it's just that Qi Sujian's perseverance is different from ordinary people, he did not loosen but tightened, and he held on to the hilt with such strength that his knuckles turned white, preventing him from being alone. Cha threw the sword out.

There was also something restless in the ground, which made the ground looser, and then something broke out of the ground—it was a big black worm with a huge mouth, and there were many rows of sharp teeth in the mouth. Take a sharp knife.

Only then did Qi Sujian secretly think something was wrong.His hands were already covered by black bugs, and he felt pain that almost made him kneel down. His legs might have been bitten by the bugs too, and they were already numb to the point of unconsciousness. I'm afraid at this time Even if an ax came and cut him on the back of his foot, he wouldn't react.

In his heart, he already had some idea of ​​who the worm was, but he was either the reincarnation of Botong, or even someone like Ye Shen who dabbled in herbal medicine, so he was helpless after all.

Suddenly thinking about Ye Shen, he twitched the corners of his mouth that were already a little stiff, and his eyes were filled with happiness and sadness, with unclear meanings.

The joy is that if he left here, Ye Shen would not have to spend all his time trying to deal with Ye Man; but he didn't want Ye Shen to live alone in the world, and he was so selfish in his heart that he wanted Ye Shen to be with him. It's sad to be a pair of fierce ghosts when you go down to the underworld, but you can't bear it.

The pain in the flesh and the pain in the heart were mixed together, and the pain was so painful that Qi Sujian, who was always calm, wanted to yell and vent it.

But he didn't dare.

All he thought about in his mind was Ye Shen, he was not sure how far Ye Shen had run and whether he would hear his cry, but he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that Ye Shen would also fall into this troubled pit when he came back Come.

Qi Sujian closed her eyes, trying to see if she could straighten out her tendons that had been messed up by the bugs, but her wrists felt cold and her heart tightened.

He snapped his eyes open.I saw his wrist was grasped by a fair-skinned hand, and looking down from that hand, there was a face that would appear in front of him when he closed his eyes day and night when he just came down the mountain.
