Five Immortals Gate

The third army division has now arrived outside Qingshan Pass City. He is galloping in the dark night. His face is darker than the thick night. He has just explored the secret passage in the garden of the Marshal's Mansion and found nothing. As a result, he went back and searched the Marshal's Mansion several times, and finally had to confirm the fact that Li Yan was not in the mansion. After leaving the Marshal's Mansion, he jumped onto the city wall again, climbed up the ridge, and left the city.

His current target is the garrison camp thirty miles away. It is difficult to find there. Where are the hundreds of thousands of troops? If Hong Linying hides a person in it, even if he has spiritual consciousness, it will take a lot of effort. It took a long time, not to mention that he didn't want others to know that after searching there, if Li Yan was still not there, it would be even harder to find him after such a long delay.

Thinking of this, the anger in his heart was already welling up, and there was a faint tendency of fire poison to circulate in his body. He had no choice but to duck into the forest on the side, find a place at random, and sit cross-legged. After about half a cup of tea, he stood up He stood up and disappeared into the black in a flash.

Time flies, and the Military Advisor Valley ushered in the second day after Li Yan left. Chen An and Li Yin stayed up all night, and their eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. They didn't know what fate would await them next, and they were really worried. .

In this way, amidst the uneasiness of the two of them, time slowly came to the night of the second day. In just one day and one night, the two of them were already exhausted. They couldn't eat or sleep. How could they get better? The other soldiers in the valley and The women also noticed that something was wrong. After Mr. Ji came yesterday, he quickly left the Military Advisor's Mansion alone with a gloomy look. What was even more strange was that the young master did not come back with Chen An and Li Yin yesterday. After these two people came back, they stayed in the camp with dark faces without eating or drinking. The rest of the people were waiting without knowing the reason, and even the soldiers who usually liked to joke with them spoke loudly. Much smaller. As a result, the entire Military Advisor's Mansion seemed very depressing, as if a dark cloud was pressing over the city.

The sun slowly rises amidst such depression. The top of the valley is tilted towards the west mountain.

The moonlight slowly rose again and then moved little by little to the west.

"Chen An, Li, please come in." A voice suddenly sounded on the field outside the valley, extremely gloomy.

It was already midnight at this time, and the third army division in black robe was like a ghost in the night. He flashed on the field and appeared, and then walked straight into the valley.

After hearing this, both the soldiers on duty outside and everyone in the room were shocked, and a chill rose up from their backs. Chen An and Li Yin were trembling and ran out of their minds somewhat.

When the two of them arrived in the valley, they saw a figure standing in front of Li Yan's room. They hurriedly approached and took a closer look under the moonlight. It was none other than Master Ji standing with his hands behind his back. But his appearance at this time surprised both of them. It was just that in this short day and night, Master Ji's face turned purple and black, his expression was haggard, his face was much older, and only his eyes were glowing with blood red light.

Since the third army division arrived at the garrison camp thirty miles away last night, he used all his strength, eyes and consciousness, body skills and spiritual power to fly around the camp, but the search was not completed even at dawn. , if the search continues, when daytime comes, even with his body skills, he will be discovered, but he has no time to wait, and with a cruel move, he disperses part of the spiritual power to suppress the poison, and strengthens it. He scanned the area with his spiritual consciousness, accelerated the speed of his movement, and used it as if it were a breeze blowing by.

Just like that, a few hours later, he appeared behind a tent.

\u003c/di\u003e

At that time, his face was ugly, he looked ferocious, and his expression was in a trance. The fire poison had begun to flow in his body. This made his mind a little out of control. He became more and more desperate to find Li Yan. After a moment's pause, , increased his spiritual power a little more, and started searching everywhere.

When night came, he had searched seven or eight out of ten places in the camp. Due to the excessive use of spiritual power, the fire poison in his body flowed much faster, and his mind went a little crazy. Looking at the unsearched areas, his face The black air on his face was glowing with purple, and part of his hair began to turn gray-black. He said unconsciously, "Do you think you can hide? You can't escape even if you dig three feet into the ground."

Finally, it was not until midnight that he searched all the camps, but still found nothing. The face of the third army division was distorted, and his teeth were gritted. His white teeth made a "gurgle" sound. Under his purple-black face, there was a pair of blood-red eyes. , like evil ghosts in the dark night.

"No, no, where are you?" At this time, his mind was confused, and the fire poison had gradually spread in the meridians of his body. After wandering quickly in the military camp for a while, he started running unconsciously, just muttering in his mouth. Mumbling endlessly.

After walking like this for an unknown amount of time, his consciousness gradually calmed down. He stopped and breathed heavily. After calming down for a while, he looked around and subconsciously returned to the outside of the Military Advisor's Mansion.

"The two of you tell us what you said and did when you went out with Li Yan in the past few months. It needs to be detailed and clear. Do you understand?" Master Ji, who was dressed in black robes in the dark night, stood like this under the moonlight. , spoke indifferently, looking coldly at the two people kneeling on the ground.

Chen An and Li Yin were stared at like they were in nine winters, and their whole bodies were shaking involuntarily. Chen An came one by one, and even Li Yin, who had always been quiet, added a few words from time to time.

Nearly an hour later, "Is that all?" Master Ji asked coldly. Chen An and Li Yin lay on the ground, without answering. They were just still searching their stomachs and thinking hard. After a while, they secretly glanced at each other and got the answer in each other's eyes. For an hour, they and Li Yin Everything I can say and think about has been said in the past few times.

"Yes, sir, that's it. There's really nothing else." Chen An replied cautiously, and Li Yin nodded in agreement. After an hour of narration, the two of them had begun to calm down. After all, they were People who have experienced life and death many times on the battlefield, at this point, they just resign themselves to fate.

After hearing this, Master Ji stood quietly without saying a word, and the two men just knelt on the ground quietly. Under the moonlight, only the chirping of insects in early summer occasionally sounded among the flowers and plants, which made people feel... Somewhat depressing.

After a while, Chen An and Li Yin felt the pressure on their bodies lessen. When they looked up, Military Advisor Ji had disappeared before their eyes, and then they heard voices coming from Li Yan's house.

Master Ji came to Li Yan's room. For nearly an hour, he listened and thought about every word the two said. His mind had returned to a very calm state, and his brain kept analyzing. Finally, he came to several conclusions and doubts. place

First, Li Yan should have known his intentions towards him. Even if he didn't know the real purpose, he must have felt that something bad would happen to him.

On your body? But how did he know his intentions? He had always behaved very well, which made him a little puzzled.

Second, Li Yan intentionally or unintentionally started to increase the number of contacts with Liu Chengyong two months ago, so Liu Chengyong should be the person arranged by Hong Linying. Could Li Yan's escape today be the result of Liu Chengyong's manipulation in the military camp? Use blinding techniques to cover the sight of Chen An and Li Yin;

Third, several fellow villagers who were close to Li Yan were equally suspicious. They might have participated in helping Li Yan escape. So the wine shop and the Iron Pavilion might be where Li Yan was hiding. Although the city defenders said that Li Yan had left the city, So with Hong Linying's methods, it is not difficult to make several soldiers lie?

Fourth, if the soldiers at the city gate can lie, then the soldiers on duty in the military camp can also lie. Will Li Yan still be hiding in the military camp?

Fifth, if the soldiers above are all lying, is it conceivable that, in addition to the wine shop and the Iron Pavilion, Hong Linying could find any private house in the city to hide Li Yan, rather than in the Marshal's Mansion.

Sixth, what does Li Yan's recent large purchase of farm tools and clothing have to do with his escape? He couldn't figure this out for a while.

Seventh, are the flowers and plants that Li Yan has planted recently related to his escape?

Eighth, if Li Yan is not in any of the above places, where else could he go? Hometown? Or find a hidden place and wait until you slowly lose confidence and give up looking for him.

Ninth, how could Li Yan imitate his own handwriting and forge a message?

Ten is whether Chen An and Li Yin have also been bribed by Li Yan. In fact, they have been helping Li Yan?

He pushed through all of the above one by one and slowly formed conclusions one by one.

First of all, he came to Li Yan's house to confirm the last two points. He believed that Li Yan would not do it perfectly, and there would be certain clues to be found in any method. What he had to do now was to get these conclusions one by one. As a result, we can gradually get the whereabouts of Li Yan.

After entering the house, although there were no lights in the house, according to his monk's eyesight, as long as a little light is used in the darkness, it is not much different from the daytime. It is only when looking from a distance that it will have an impact further away. What's more, the moon is like water tonight, and inside the house Everything is clearly visible in his eyes.

He stood in front of the table. There were inkstones and brushes placed on the table by the window. After taking a look, he could deduce that Li Yan was in a hurry at that time. Although the inkstone and brushes were now replaced with non-writing position, but the ink in the inkstone is still there and has not been washed away. The ink stains on the pen are also there, and some even dripped on the table. Although there are only one or two drops, it can be seen that Li Yan's mood at that time Urgency should be due to fear of unplanned changes.

He picked up the pen with one hand and looked at it for a while, but found nothing else. He looked around again and found a pile of paper balls thrown in the corner on the ground. As soon as he put the brush down, he ducked to the corner, stretched out both hands, and his left hand was already there. He inserted the jade book that had been with him for a moment on the waist of his robe. He bent down and picked up a wad of paper from the pile and unfolded it. It was written with ordinary poems. He then picked up a few more pieces and unfolded them. Slowly, his face became a little embarrassed.

These papers were left behind by Li Yan's frequent graffiti some time ago. Due to uncertainty,

\u003c/di\u003e

Li Yan would take close-ups at certain times, so the woman who was cleaning up the house would occasionally take things away without having time to clean them, and the papers she took away during the cleaning were all in accordance with the previous instructions given by the third division division to Chen An and Li Yin. If you say it, it will be burned as firewood.

Master Ji had seen this before. Chen An and Li Yin showed it to him. At that time, he didn't think it was anything. But when he took a closer look today, he immediately discovered some problems. Although the handwriting was still messy, It was like venting the frustration in his chest, it was still so ugly and messy, but now that he looked carefully, there were certain strokes of certain words that were somewhat similar to his own. If he hadn't deliberately wanted to find out what was wrong, he would have really will not find such a situation.

This discovery made him involuntarily have a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he turned back to look at the bookshelf on the west wall of the house, where one or twenty books were placed.

With a flash of body, he went to the bookshelf again and found a book inside. This book was exactly the book where the poem in the paper ball he just read came from. He had studied it frequently before, so he knew it.

Soon he turned to that page. After just one glance, his expression changed. Then he found a few more books one after another. After opening them, he couldn't help but sigh and said to himself, " I really underestimated this kid, but he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he has such a mind. "

When he opened the first book, he already knew that these were the books he often read before, but he had read too many books and the bookshelf in the room could no longer accommodate them, so he only kept some books he often read. , the rest of the books are placed on the bookshelves in these rooms. He has a habit of reading books and likes to mark some good sentences and write a few notes, comments and the like from time to time. Apparently Li Yan also discovered this, so he included it in his plan.

At this time, Master Ji remembered that Li Yan had brought several more books from him. First, he wanted to see more of his handwriting; second, he wanted to confirm whether the handwriting on the books in the room was his own.

He also remembered that he had only written something to Li Yan twice, one was the "Breathe Guidance Technique" and the other was the "Black Night Curtain Qing Gong". However, it was obvious that Li Yan used more techniques when he reviewed the techniques in the latter time. He watched it for a long time. At that time, he thought that with the upgrade of the technique, Li Yan's comprehension would be slower, so he watched it for a longer time. Now it seems that it is not ruled out that Li Yan did it to read more handwriting or to check the books. It is possible that the handwriting in the document and the handwriting on the paper were written by the same person.

Looking back at the pile of paper in the corner, he also realized something. In the handwriting that Li Yan practiced, there was often a certain basic stroke in a word that was really imitating his own, and the rest were just scrawled. It was used to cover up, but when it came time to actually use it, Li Yan slowly put the practiced basic strokes together to form his own message.

By this time, he had determined that the two points in his final conclusion were secretly imitated by Li Yan through the books he had annotated. As a shortcoming of the practice, it was precisely the need for some external objects to soothe the heat in the chest. Yes, he used this to cover up the practice of imitation; on the other hand, Chen An and Li Yin were not bribed by Li Yan. This is easy to figure out. If they were bribed, Li Yan would not have to work so hard. Come secretly imitate his handwriting. Chen An and Li Yin will go out with him.

Then, next, he will determine some other conclusions, and perhaps Li Yan's whereabouts are among them.
