Alienated Martial Arts

A carriage left Luoshui City and moved slowly along the official road.

After passing the Xiangshui Canal, a tributary of Luoshui River, there is still an hour's drive left to the destination.

Liu Qingyuan's trusted subordinates were following him in front and behind, while Xiaoyi, the personal maid, acted as the coachman, leaning on the shaft of the carriage to rest in silence, picking up a skin bag full of spirits and taking a sip from time to time.

In the rear compartment, Wei Tao and Liu Qingyuan sat opposite each other.

Neither of them spoke, and they remained silent almost the whole way.

The carriage passed by a forest, and Wei Tao opened the side window and took a look outside.

"I still remember the last time I came to the gold tanning field, I saw a skinned corpse here."

He took a deep breath of the cold air and said with emotion, "Although less than a year has passed, it feels like it happened a long time ago, and even the memory is a bit fuzzy."

"At that time, sir, he was still the deacon of Qingfeng Temple."

Liu Qingyuan has completely recovered from the erosion of delusions, and his energy and spirit have improved a lot.

She looked at the woods outside together, with a look of reminiscence on her face, "I should have been on the road at that time, preparing to go to Gui Shufang's manor to explore possible secrets."

Wei Tao closed the side window to keep out the cold wind and ice chips.

He thought slowly and said, "Gui Shufang was wiped out by the imperial court and the sect, but the manor he built has been preserved, and the old people from the Qinglian sect have been staying nearby to take care of it. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't count. normal.

If you say that the imperial court and the religious sect were kept a secret and didn't know about the existence of these people from beginning to end, I don't really believe it.

But everyone involved in this matter, or those who knew the inside story, turned a blind eye to it, let it go, and were even suspected of covering up. It seems that the water is muddier than we imagined. "

Liu Qingyuan carefully savored the hidden meaning of his words, and sighed after a moment, "When Guishu Fang's incident was exposed, there were many people in the imperial court and the sect who were interested in what he was studying.

What I know about include Mr. Donghe of Tianji Mansion, Qiong Taichang, the Director of Ceremonies, who is also the master of Guishou Cangchou, Taishang Fengzhen of Xuanwu Dao, Master Luo of Dingxuan Sect, and many others. Shaodu once participated in it. "

Wei Tao nodded slightly, "The advantage lies in that no matter how high the mountain is, it can't reach anything; no matter how deep down it is, it can reach everything.

For many warriors, they may be able to remain unmoved in the face of power and wealth, but they cannot resist the attraction of benefits brought by the mysterious silk threads. "

Speaking of this, he asked curiously, "Qingyuan just mentioned Tianji Mansion, what kind of organization is this?"

"Tianji Mansion has always been secretive and has a low reputation. It's normal that you don't know much about it, sir."

Liu Qingyuan said, "Sir, you have been to the capital before, and you should have heard of the Four Elephant Hall located in Da Nei. There are martial arts masters on duty inside to protect the peace of the palace centered on the palace.

In fact, the Four Symbols Palace is part of the Tianji Mansion. Because it is more exposed to the public, it will be known more. As for the other institutions of the Tianji Mansion, they are mysterious all day long. Not to mention my husband and I, even Fu Taichang Don't know what those people are doing. "

Unknowingly, the gold tanning field was already in front of us.

Wei Tao got off the car and looked at the stone gate archway that was still standing. He recalled the scene where the housekeepers greeted him and he couldn't help but feel a little lost for a moment.

The last time he came here, he thought he was just dealing with a certain evil warrior who was wandering around committing crimes. As long as he found the person and captured him, everything would be fine.

The result was that mysterious threads related to Gui Shufang were involved, and the remnants of the Green Lotus Sect had been hiding around, and the clues were not revealed until the end.

At this moment, when he looked back and thought about what had happened, Wei Tao suddenly felt like he was in another world.

"Sir, should we go directly to the manor, or stop here to rest?"

Liu Qingyuan followed behind, staring at the various chaotic buildings in front of them.

The gold tanning field is quiet during the snow season.

It is in sharp contrast to the busy scene when the weather is warm.

There were not many pedestrians on the street, probably staying at home to avoid the wind, snow and cold.

"Let's go into town, find a restaurant to eat first, and then go to the mansion outside the housekeeper's house."

Wei Tao said and walked forward slowly, "We didn't explore there carefully before. Let's see if we can find anything else this time."

Soon after, the two came to a restaurant.

After sitting down, I casually ordered a few plates of stir-fries and a pot of stew, and ate slowly along with the staple food.

Wei Tao ate very slowly, and most of the time he just sat there quietly, observing every move of others with some trance.

From the waiters to the diners, as well as the pedestrians passing by outside from time to time, they all gave him an inexplicable and strange feeling.

Even driven by this strange feeling, Wei Tao used the Guanshen Wangqi technique to observe more deeply, but still found nothing abnormal.

At least on the surface, everything looks normal.

In his perception, everyone was an ordinary person, there was nothing weird about them, and there was nothing wrong with the food on the table.

But he didn't know why, he always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell where the problem was.

After observing and thinking for a moment, Wei Tao suddenly felt something in his heart and discovered a situation that he had ignored.

The words and deeds of these people inside and outside the restaurant seemed inconsistent with their identities.

In other words, as a restaurant opened in a gold tanning field, most of the people coming and going are laborers making a living, so the dining atmosphere inside seems too quiet.

There was no passionate bragging or red-faced drinking. If you listened carefully to the topics of their conversation, there was not much about gambling and women, which was indeed a bit unusual.

Soon after, Liu Qingyuan came closer and lowered his voice and said, "Sir, this town is a little strange, and there is a false feeling everywhere."

Wei Tao nodded slightly and agreed.

The fakeness Liu Qingyuan said may not mean that the town and its residents are fake.

Because they are indeed real existences and are definitely not hallucinations brought about by mystical delusions.

To be precise, these people seemed to be performing.

It was as if a stage had been set up, and the daily life of the tanning farm was performed in front of him, allowing him to watch and integrate into it.

And here, he is both an audience and can watch other people's performances, but he is also on the stage and has also become an actor.

"Now that we're full, let's go."

Wei Tao remained calm and waved to the restaurant guy to calculate the accounts.

While waiting for change, he pretended to ask casually, "Has the other family that originally lived here moved away?"

The waiter raised his head, as if he hadn't woken up, and his eyes were still a little distracted, "What are you doing outside of asking the room attendant?"

Wei Tao said, "We are distant relatives other than the housekeeper. This time we made a special trip from our hometown to visit his old man, but we ended up in vain. We don't know what happened."

"Oh, the housekeeper's wife's family was wiped out."

The restaurant waiter weighed the broken silver and retrieved a row of coins. He kept saying, "This happened more than half a year ago. The waiter's family somehow got involved with the Qinglian Sect and was arrested by the government." Send someone over and execute him on the spot.”

His expression was calm and indifferent from beginning to end, and his tone did not change much, as if Wei Tao had just entered the store and asked the guest what he wanted to eat.

Wei Tao showed surprise at the right time, with a little worry and fear in his eyes.

"Is that so?"

"Thank you, little brother. I suddenly remembered that my family and the housekeeper are actually not very close relatives. They are not in the fifth server at all. I have never had contact with him before, so I am not familiar with him at all."

He immediately stood up, pulled Liu Qingyuan and walked out without even taking the copper coins on the table.

The restaurant waiter stood there motionless, watching the two of them go out and go away, his eyes becoming scattered and blank again.

After a long time, he put away the copper coins on the table and began to slowly clean up the untouched food.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

Liu Qingyuan asked after walking straight out of the Shimen Archway of the gold tanning field.

"Things here don't seem that simple."

"Especially the last few conversations with the restaurant waiter reminded me of the servants of the hotel clerk's family, but I didn't feel any trace of the presence of ghosts on him.

Unless I kill him and cut his body open to find out, I can't be sure what's going on. "

Wei Tao looked back at the silent market town and quickly made a decision, "We are going to Gui Shufang's manor now. I suspect that the weirdness of the gold tanning farm is probably related to there."

After a pause, he added, "Others are not yet at the level of mystical consciousness. It is best to let them go back the same way to avoid unnecessary losses."

The carriage moved slowly along the road.

The maid Xiaoyi was still a little unhappy.

Because she also wanted to go to that manor with her young lady to see the secluded place where Guishu Fang lived, which caused a lot of trouble in the imperial court.

It's just that the lady's orders cannot be disobeyed.

And because this was Wei Daozi's decision, she didn't dare to question it at all.

Xiaoyi thought aimlessly and wrapped his cloak tighter.

Suddenly, a light flashed in her eyes, and she tightened the reins in her hands.

The carriage stopped slowly by the roadside.

Xiaoyi's face was cold and solemn, staring at the slender figure not far ahead.

His eyes fell on the slowly rotating plain white paper umbrella not far away, and his body involuntarily tensed up to the extreme.

The next moment, Xiaoyi found that he couldn't move.

Even though he desperately tried to stimulate his energy and blood, the power that originally moved according to his heart was like a pool of stagnant water, unable to move at all.

"I didn't expect that not long after that, we would meet again. It's quite a fate."

A voice as gentle as water sounded quietly.

Xiaoyi watched the other person approach slowly, getting closer bit by bit.

But his whole body was stiff and cold, unable to react in any way.

"I can't even think of resisting."

"This horrible feeling of despair."

"She said it was fate and we met again, but why didn't I have any impression and couldn't remember where I saw her?"

Xiaoyi was heartbroken and had fallen into despair.

She didn't know if her companion who was exploring the path ahead was still alive, but on second thought, it would be useless even if she knew.

Because in this situation, she could do nothing but let the situation accelerate in an unpredictable direction.

However, Xiaoyi's despair did not last long. After just two or three breaths, the slender figure was already standing in front of the carriage.

"Forget it, meeting Dao Zuo means we are destined. Since we can meet you again, how about I help you improve your strength?"

The melodious female voice sounded in his ears, but it was like thunder exploding in Xiaoyi's heart.

She stared blankly at those eyes as bright as stars, and suddenly felt a little cold in her body.

It was as if everything was completely exposed under those eyes, and there was no longer any secret.

Even wearing a thick cotton coat and cloak can't stop the coldness.

The next moment, the carriage door was gently opened. She glanced inside, turned around and stroked the mane of the horse pulling the carriage, and sighed leisurely.

"You just went to the town called Gold Sun Farm. Did the two people who were sitting in the carriage stay there?"

Xiaoyi sat motionless, like a clay statue.

After hearing her question, he nodded subconsciously.

She was silent for a moment, and a smile gradually appeared on her face, "Liu Qingyuan is really an interesting person. Even I didn't expect that she could get rid of the influence again. She might even guess my identity without any clues." place."

"It's just that with Miss Liu's astuteness and caution, she shouldn't have done such an outrageous thing, so what can make her make up her mind is the other person in the carriage."

Speaking of this, her smile grew stronger, "If I guessed correctly, the other person is a young man, and he is Wei Daozi of the Qinglin Mountain Yuan Dao. Do you think I am right or wrong?"

Xiaoyi couldn't say a word, and didn't even dare to look at her, for fear that the other party would find something in his eyes.

She didn't care about this, her expression was thoughtful, and she looked beyond the carriage into the distance, "My guess just now may be wrong. If it is really Wei Daozi who wants to come to Guishu's former residence, then it is very likely that he is vaguely aware of it. What I noticed was not because of the relationship between Liu Qingyuan and me."

"After all, he is very likely to be the soldier from the military town in the Cangmang Mountains, and he has inherited some of the things I left behind. It is normal for him to have this feeling.

However, he and I both arrived late. The manor now is really just a ruin. Even if we can see, hear, and feel something from it, it is nothing more than what has happened. .

Even the town called Tanjinchang has become very different from the towns where other groups of people live. "

Speaking of this, she seemed to have some rare hesitation.

After standing next to the carriage for a long time, she suddenly asked, "Tell me, should I go see him now?"

Xiaoyi's body trembled without warning, and he found that he had regained the ability to move.

But faced with this question, she didn't know how to answer.

Because the person was not really asking for her opinion, but was just thinking and weighing it due to some concerns that she was completely unaware of, and had not yet made a decision.

If she says something smart, she will really become a fool.

A cold wind blew by, picking up bits of snow like mist.

That figure had disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace.

Xiaoyi let out a heavy breath and was about to abandon the carriage and turn back in the direction from which he came as quickly as possible.

But after she took a few steps forward, her vision turned black for no reason, her consciousness went blank, and she completely forgot what she wanted to do and what had just happened.

At this moment, in the gold tanning field.

Bing Yun and Youli slowly walked into the town.

They walked a few dozen meters along the only street and turned into the only open restaurant.

Bing Yuan randomly chose a seat against the wall and sat down, observing the surrounding environment habitually.

"What would you like to eat, sir?" the waiter walked over slowly and asked.

Youli's eyes fell on the shop assistant, and Wei Kecha frowned.

As a waiter in a store, this man not only moved slowly and had a blank expression, but even his words were somewhat slurred and his words were unclear.

If he was asked to receive guests, wouldn't he be destroying the restaurant's sign?

She was silent for a moment and pointed to the menu board hanging above the counter, "Can you make those signature dishes now?"

The shop assistant said, "We can do it, but we need to wait a little longer. If the two guests are not in a hurry..."

"Forget it, we won't eat."

Bing Yun suddenly spoke at this moment, interrupting the shop assistant's words, and at the same time stood up and walked outside.

But just as he stood up from the chair, he slowly sat down again.

Bing Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and watched a man covered in gray robes, even his face covered by a hood, slowly walk in from outside the store.

There were obviously many empty tables in the restaurant, but the man sat directly opposite him, then lifted his hood, revealing the face of an ordinary middle-aged man.

"You are warriors from the Northern Wilderness."

The middle-aged man said slowly, "And they are two martial arts masters who have broken through the boundaries between heaven and man."

Bing Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Who are you? Since you know our identities, you dare to be so presumptuous?"

The man did not answer his question, but continued to talk to himself, "With the strength of the two of you, it is easy to kill me. Even if you kill the entire town, you will not waste too much time.

But this doesn't make much sense, just like yesterday a girl who was more powerful than you came over, and a man and woman who just left the town before you, they didn't do this meaningless thing. "

Bing Yuan's smile faded, and her expression gradually became serious, "Who are those three people you mentioned?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, "They are still very young, so of course I don't know their names. At most, I know a little bit about them from some details, and I can infer that two of them are Xuanwu Dao disciples, and the other one should be an official of the Patrol Department. "

"Did you meet them like this too?" Bing Yun asked.

"No, I just glanced at them a few times. I didn't sit across from them and talk to them like I do now."

Bing Yun tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and the sound echoed in circles.

The middle-aged man opposite suddenly turned pale, with fine cold sweat oozing out from his forehead, and even a wisp of blood spilling from the corner of his lips.

He stopped his hand at this moment, thought slowly and said, "I observed again and again and found that you are indeed just an ordinary person, but in the end you can directly identify the identity of a Xuanwu Dao disciple and an official of the Touring Department.

All these things really make me curious about what kind of secrets you are hiding. "

The middle-aged man wiped the blood from his mouth, but his expression remained calm, and his tone did not show any fluctuation, "The secret is in the ruined villa outside the town. You can go explore and find it at any time.

However, it is best for you two to wait for a while before going, so as not to meet the young man and woman who arrived earlier. "

"It's just a Xuanwu disciple. Unless it's Sun Xiyue who has disappeared long ago, I won't pay attention to anyone else."

Bing Yun lowered his eyes, a faint smile appeared on his face, "But compared to them, you make me more curious.

After all, as a person from the Great Zhou Dynasty, why do you insist on appearing in front of two Northern Wilderness warriors like us instead of interviewing Xuanwu disciples and patrol officers? "

"Is it because you are tired of the hard life day after day and want to seek refuge with us to seek glory and wealth?"

"Glory and wealth are like passing clouds to me and are not worth mentioning at all.

But it is precisely because you two came from the Northern Wilderness that I came to you. "

The man paused here, and when he spoke again, his voice suddenly became distorted, "You should know Luo Qingjun, I hope you can bring her a message when you go back."

"Luo Qingjun..."

Bing Yun took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "Who is Luo Qingjun?"

The eyes of Youli on the side flashed, and he also had a puzzled expression on his face.

"Haven't you heard of this name?"

The middle-aged man frowned for the first time since he appeared, and after a moment he continued, "Do you know about Luo Daozi of the Dingxuan Sect, one of the seven sects of the Great Zhou Sect?"

Youli couldn't help but sigh, and said in a strange tone, "Looking at you are not very old, why do you start talking about old things from decades ago?

I just remembered Luo Qingjun's name, but she was Dingxuan Daozi thirty years ago, and later she sat in the position of the head of Dingxuan, and she is no longer alive. "

"I see, there are indeed many things I don't know yet. Thank you both for clarifying my doubts."

The middle-aged man nodded, and then said something that surprised both of them.

"Luo Qingjun is not dead yet, he is in Beihuang at this time."

A light flashed in Bing Yun's eyes, and his voice suddenly became very soft, "What evidence do you have for saying this?"

"The evidence is that Brahma is born with the spiritual will of heaven. If she was not in Beihuang, how could she connect with Brahma with her spirit and try to suppress me?

The fact that I was able to talk face to face with the two of them was the result of her using the spiritual power of Brahma. "

The middle-aged man was still talking, and without any warning, a hole appeared from the front and back, and the thick brain matter inside could be clearly seen.

His voice stopped suddenly, and he slowly slid off the wooden chair, falling to the ground with a thud. Without even a struggle, he lost all the breath of life.

Although someone was dead, the restaurant manager and the other two tables of guests turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear to it, and continued to do their own things, as if the corpse on the ground did not exist at all.

"Youli, what are you doing?"

Bing Yuan slowly turned his head to look, his eyes gloomy and his expression gloomy.

"Master Bingyun, have you ever felt that our spirits seem to have been affected unconsciously?"

Youli's tone was solemn, "I practice Youshen Thorn, and I am most sensitive to this kind of change, but I only discovered something wrong just now."

Bing Yun closed his eyes and felt carefully.

After a moment, he gently exhaled a breath, "You are right, he is just an ordinary person, but he can exert a spiritual influence on our two martial arts masters. It is simply beyond my imagination."

Youli asked, "What are you going to do, Master Bingyun?"

"This town is not normal."

Bing Yan looked around, "Kill everyone here, and then go to Gui Shufang's manor. Maybe you can meet Xuanwu Dao disciples and ask more things from them."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded and reached the ears of the two people.

Bing Yuan turned around and saw that the restaurant waiter was speaking.

"You two, please be patient. Once I finish what I have to say, it won't be too late for you to start killing people, or even massacre the town."

As soon as the shop assistant finished speaking, his whole body suddenly became stiff, his face was covered with a layer of blue ice crystals, and he also fell to the ground, losing the breath of life in an instant.

"I hope you two can go back and tell Luo Qingjun..."

Almost at the same time as the restaurant waiter collapsed, a diner sitting far away turned his head ninety degrees and took over the conversation.

Halfway through his words, he fell limply on the table. Cups, plates, and bowls were knocked all over the floor, and wine, vegetables, and soup were splashed everywhere.

"The spiritual power of the Great Brahma is not something that can be borrowed at will as she thought."

The guest at the second table continued to speak, but also died just after saying a word.

Immediately afterwards, the restaurant owner sat up straight from behind the counter and said, "She wanted to use the spiritual power of Brahma, but she didn't understand some of the key points, and she didn't know that if you borrow something, you have to repay it. There is no principle in the world where you can only borrow but not repay."

This time, Bing Yun did not make a move again, and Youli also remained silent, quietly listening to what the restaurant manager continued.

"If Luo Qingjun continues like this, he will definitely die without a burial place. It would be better for her and me to..."

As the restaurant manager spoke, blood suddenly surged from his orifices and he died on the spot, following in the footsteps of others in the restaurant.

"The last one was not made by me."

Youli's spirit and spirit suddenly rose, and he looked around cautiously.

Bing Yuan slowly shook his head, "I didn't take action, but he died in front of our eyes."

After being silent for a long time, he suddenly showed an inexplicable smile, "I have been practicing the secret method passed down from generation to generation by my tribe since I was a child. I have gone through all kinds of hardships and hardships, passed many tests, and finally became a martial arts master who was transformed into a god.

After that, he didn't dare to relax, and continued to practice hard day and night until he touched the threshold of Yin and Yang, and got a glimpse of the wonderful and mysterious scenery inside. "

"Along the way, I have forgotten how many warriors I have defeated and how many enemies I have killed, but I have never had such a strange and bizarre experience as today.

Even though I was just facing a few ordinary people who couldn't even transfer energy and blood, it actually gave me an inexplicable feeling of fear. "

Bing Yan shook his head and sighed, wiped a little sweat from his forehead, got up and walked out of the store.

This time, no one spoke.

They were not hindered in any way.

Youli stopped in front of the door and looked back at the corpses with different forms of death, "Master Bingyun, do we still want to wipe out the entire town?"

"No, no one here can die again."

Bing Yuan looked up at the dark sky, reaching out to catch the snowflakes that started to fall again, "If I kill another ordinary person in this town, my state of mind will be affected uncontrollably.

This is a warning from Brahma to me, but it is also an opportunity for me to go further. "

"I must thank Youli this time. If it weren't for the information you provided, I wouldn't have come here."

He looked down at the snowflakes that were rapidly growing in size in the palm of his hand, and the color became blue and crystal clear. His eyes were filled with more and more light, "I can't kill the residents of the town. The murderous intention that just rose in my heart can't be vented, so It has always been accumulated in my chest, but it is like a burning fire, making it unbearable.

I hope to meet those two Xuanwu disciples soon, so that I can fully express my murderous intention that has nowhere to be released, and then I can welcome the spiritual intention of Brahma's coming to heaven with a more transparent and transparent state of mind. "

…………

………………

After less than a day of rest, wind and snow covered the world again.

Wei Tao and Liu Qingyuan walked through the woods and stopped in front of the manor that had no appearance at all.

He did not go directly into it, but carefully observed the perception from the outside.

"Someone did come here."

After a moment, Wei Tao squatted down, stretched out his hand to touch the slightly charred ground, and then turned to look at the boots Liu Qingyuan was wearing.

"She should be a woman. Her feet are about the same size as yours, but seem to be a little smaller."

Liu Qingyuan's face turned slightly red, and she coughed lightly and said, "What else did you find, sir?"

"I haven't found anything else."

Wei Tao was still observing the almost nonexistent footprints, and then expanded the search area.

It wasn't until we were more than ten meters away that we saw another trace.

He frowned slightly, "The distance between two steps is about five feet. The key is that the footprints are so light, which shows that her level of strength is extraordinary.

Of course, it is also possible that she has practiced some kind of movement technique that allows her to cross such a long distance silently without having to force her legs.

It's like Dingxuan Palace. When she and I chased each other and ran for hundreds of miles in the wilderness, compared to me, who was growing lotuses every step of the way, she was as misty as the wind, without a trace of fireworks. . "

Wei Tao gathered his thoughts and continued walking inside.

According to the location described in Feng Qingping's delusion, he searched for the memories left in the manor before, passing through the ruins and ruins, and gradually approached the original location of the garden.

Liu Qingyuan followed silently, looking at the charred mess on the ground that appeared from time to time, and remembering the description of Gui Shu imitation in the Si Ya archives, and couldn't help but be a little dazed for a moment.

It gave rise to the inexplicable emotion that life is unpredictable and everything in the world is unpredictable.

There was a soft click.

Wei Tao stepped on a dead branch.

He stopped at this moment, lowered his head and looked down at the broken stone tablet lying on the ground not far away, and slowly read out three words that had not been completely erased.

"Guishu imitation."

Next, he looked over the stone monument and saw the five-foot-square dark hole leading to the ground.

In the pile of rocks not far away, there is obviously newly dug soil, which forms an extremely sharp contrast with the gray and black marks around it.

"This should be the location of the Gui family ancestral hall."

Liu Qingyuan stepped forward and said slowly in memory, "My husband and I also carefully explored and searched nearby for a long time, but we did not find that there was such a hole leading to the ground."

Wei Tao said nothing, as Feng Qingping's description of delusions flashed in his mind.

A middle-aged man walked up the gloomy and dark steps, his whole body exuding a heart-stopping smell of blood.

"So, Liu Qingyuan's guess is very likely to be correct. Just last night, or the night before, someone really came to the Luoshui Patrol Department to look for her.

And just as she thought, the man came to the manor and dug out the hole that appeared in Feng Qingping's delusion. "

"We still don't know what is hidden underneath, and why the imitation of Guishu failed thirty years ago, but it has not really come to light until now."

Wei Tao thought silently, lowering his head and looking into the cave. He could only see a flight of stairs close to the ground, and then down was a curve. He couldn't see his fingers inside, and it was impossible to see where it led.

He picked up a pebble from his feet and flicked it with his fingers. The tinkling sound was heard endlessly, and he finally stopped after taking a few breaths.

"It seems that we still need to go down and investigate in person to find out what is hidden inside."

Wei Tao took a deep breath of the cold air and took out a few fire sticks from his luggage. "I'll get off first, and you will follow. We are eight to ten steps apart. If anything happens, we will alert you as soon as possible."

"I understand, sir, be careful, there is a lot of darkness in here, I'm afraid..."

Liu Qingyuan didn't finish her words, but she kept silent without warning.

She had a puzzled expression on her face, and her eyes became scattered and confused.

The whole person fell softly to the side, and fell asleep soundly.

Before she spoke, Wei Tao had already turned around and looked into the depths of the wind and snow on one side.

boom!

Right now.

In his eyes, everything disappeared in an instant.

The flying snow in the sky was gone, the ruins were gone, and even Liu Qingyuan, who had been supported by him just now, was nowhere to be seen.

In his sight, there was only endless darkness.

And a pair of eyes that slowly light up in the depths of darkness.

They were a pair of eyes with glistening autumn water and as bright as stars.

Exuding a breathtaking radiant light, it appeared from the deepest depths of darkness, watching silently.

In an instant, countless pictures spun in front of Wei Tao's eyes like a revolving lantern.

Under the gaze of those eyes, he suddenly felt as if he were facing an abyss, walking on thin ice, and felt a danger that he had not felt for a long time.

Wei Tao felt calm, and his spirit suddenly lifted.

He was not moved at all by the various images that kept flashing. Slowly but extremely firmly, he took a step forward towards the pair of eyes shining like stars in the distance.

boom!

All the illusions disappeared at this moment, and everything returned to the state when he and Liu Qingyuan had just arrived.

The cold wind howled and snowflakes flew.

The broken stone tablet lay on the ground, and the eerie and dark cave entrance lay in front of it.

The pair of eyes that were as bright as stars had disappeared, like yellow cranes, without a trace.

"Who is the owner of those eyes?"

"Are the two slender footprints found in the manor left by the owner of the eyes?"

"Is she the mysterious person who went to find Liu Qingyuan?"

"More importantly, why does looking at these eyes give me a strangely familiar feeling?"

A series of questions came to mind, making Wei Tao suddenly worried.

Even the dark cave entrance next to it has lost its original appeal.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, using all his strength to use the Guan Shen Wang Qi technique, hoping to capture the opponent's Qi again.

In the end, it was all in vain.

Because at the same time that the Guan Shen Qi Technique was activated, two more figures wearing black robes and hoods appeared in Wei Tao's sight.

The aura of the martial arts master transformed from heaven and man immediately shattered the surrounding wind and snow environment, covering up the vague and seemingly non-existent qi machine, completely disrupting his efforts to sense and search with the gazing spirit technique.

Bing Yuan slowly stopped and looked over through the wind and snow.

Looking at the two figures standing together in front of him, he smiled and sighed, "This person should be the Xuanwu disciple. I can smell the sweet smell of killing."

Youli put his hands in his sleeves and exhaled softly, "He is also holding a beautiful girl in his arms. In such a land of ice and snow, a land of ashes after burning, the two sect disciples are quite interesting."

Wei Tao's face was expressionless, his eyes were cold, and he slowly took a step forward, protecting the newly awakened Liu Qingyuan behind him.

The moment the two men in black robes appeared, several thoughts flashed through his mind.

"It's completely beyond my expectation. This feeling should be that two Beihuang Grandmasters actually appeared in the ruins of Gui Shufang's manor!?"

"If the owner of those eyes is also with the two Beihuang Grandmasters, this battle will probably be very difficult, and there is a high possibility that he will be defeated and die."

He quickly gathered his thoughts and said in a calm tone, "Leave now and don't look back."

Liu Qingyuan gritted her teeth and said, "What about sir?"

"The two people opposite have locked our breath, so you can leave, but I can't leave now.

But whoever wants me to die, I will drag him into the underworld with him! "

Wei Tao lowered his eyes, his energy suddenly condensing like a stone.

Immediately afterwards, his body sank and he began to accumulate momentum.

It's like an extremely depressing submarine volcano.

I don't know when it will suddenly erupt, destroying everything around it.
