After a long time, neither of them spoke. Or Tang Zhou broke the silence first: "Let's take a look around in Zhuangzi, I don't know if Master Shen's body is there?" Yan Dan said weakly, "Tang Zhou, since walking with you, I've been in bad luck all the time." Tang Startled Monday. Yan Dan staggered through the rubble and broken walls, and ran to the backyard: "Wait for you to find Master Shen's body, you can also help me collect it by the way."

As soon as her voice fell, there was a messy footsteps not far away, and someone said loudly: "Everyone, be careful, maybe the perpetrators who set fire are still inside."

Yan Dan heard that the human voice was already very close, and even quickened his pace. He planned to go to the backyard and then run out. The way he came in was definitely not possible. At the beginning, she had sorcery in her body, so she was naturally not afraid of a few mortals, but now she is no different from an ordinary woman, and can only run away.

Before she ran to the backyard, she heard someone behind her loudly say: "Someone is inside! Running behind!"

Yan Dan glanced back, and saw that the townspeople showed their hoes and shovels to chase them, and the corners of their mouths began to feel bitter. Suddenly feeling a tight wrist, Tang Zhou Yi pulled her, whispered: "Right."

Yan Dan looked to the right, it was a wall that had been burned to a half. Before she had time to speak, she felt lightened and she had been picked up by Tang Zhou, subconsciously reaching out and stomping against the wall. She listened to the townspeople's screaming and killing gradually, and she didn't know where she was, but she suddenly turned up, and then she didn't want to jump down. Although the top of the wall was smoked black and a hole was broken on the top, it was still nearly three people tall. Yan Dan fell to the ground, and one fell to the ground without paying attention. She didn't care to check whether her ankle was sprained, and immediately got up and ran.

Seeing that she was so brave, Tang Zhou swallowed the phrase "I am still carrying you".

Yan Dan ran out of breath, but her strong will to survive kept her running out of the borders of Qingshi Town.

She looked at the stone tablet with the word Xiangdu engraved in front of her, knowing that Baili would be the boundary of Xiangdu after this, she sat down on the ground when her legs were soft. She ran too quickly, stopped and coughed with her knees hugged, and after coughing, she breathed heavily.

Tang Zhou said sincerely: "You are quite amazing."

After a long time, Yan Dan's breath calmed down, before turning his head to look at him, and said miserably: "I twisted my ankle..."

Tang Zhou was silent.

"I sprained when I jumped off the wall..."

"Ahem, you are really good, and you can run for half an hour without stopping."

Yan Dan gritted his teeth with anger: "Your ankle is swollen, you bastard!"

Tang Zhou walked to her and slowly lowered his body: "Let me see." Yan Dan patted his hand away, and said angrily: "Don't touch me, all blame you! I told you to leave earlier. If I don’t go, I’m going to jump the wall, causing me to twist my ankle!"

Tang Zhou sighed, not arguing with her: "You don't let me see, what if you hurt your bones?"

Yan Dan is right to think about it. The most innocent thing is that he can't get along with himself. Tang Zhou stretched out his hand and gently pressed her ankle: "It is swollen, but fortunately the bones are all right. When the next town comes, I will go to the doctor to see." He turned sideways: "Come on, I'll carry you." Yan Dan suddenly thought this was not a good time to get out, and immediately plucked Tang Zhou's shoulders honestly.

She lay on Tang Zhou's shoulders, only to realize the benefits of his steady feet, light footing, and almost no bumps. After pondering for a while, she spoke softly: "Tang Zhou?"

Tang Zhou said.

"Actually, you don't need to be so tired to carry me. It's just a sprain, I can deal with it myself." Yan Dan said slowly, "As long as I have a little bit of magic..."

After a while, Tang Zhou asked: "Why do you have to be a demon?"

"Ah? This..." Yan Dan thought for a while, "If I am not a demon, and I am neither a mortal nor an immortal, then I will be outside the Three Realms? There is no one of my own kind between heaven and earth. Isn’t it lonely?"

"Now I have blocked your witchcraft, you will be no different from a mortal, isn't that bad?"

Only then did Yan Dan realize that he was being led away by him, and categorically said: "If I turn you into a demon, would you feel good?"

Tang Zhou actually avoided answering. Instead, he said something completely irrelevant: "The luggage is in the inn. I only have a few silver tickets, and I am afraid I won't be able to use the silver tickets in small towns."

Yan Dan didn't even think about it: "It's simple, just see business travelers on the road and rob them."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of a carriage wheel turning in the distance, and she arrived behind her in a short while.

When the carriage passed by, it slowly stopped. The four horses pulling the carriage in front were all uniform horses. Even the dark man driving the carriage was covered with excellent clothing. It's like writing a few big characters "I am rich, come and rob me". It's a pity that Yan Dan is like this now, only someone else will rob her, and if Tang Zhou doesn't do it, she doesn't have the courage to force him to do it. The carriage curtain was lifted, and a pair of calm eyes appeared behind the curtain.

A beautiful woman jumped out of the car, her voice tactfully: "Master Tang, my master, please get in the car and get together."

Yan Dan only said that Tang Zhou would definitely reject it. Who knew he actually agreed: "Thank you so much." When the beautiful woman reached out to help her, she only felt more sad: such a big one. Li, at first glance, she is Lianjiazi, she can't even compare to a mortal woman now.

The owner of the carriage was sitting inside, holding a celadon tea cup in his hand, and his fingers were long and strong. He slightly nodded towards Tang Zhou, then turned away and looked straight at the other side.

Yan Dan followed the man's gaze, facing the wall of the car with the embroidered carpet on the other side. She looked at the embroidered blanket for a long time, except for the fact that the embroidered velvet on it was very good, it was a unique embroidery method in Yizhou, and she felt nothing special. She turned her head and looked at the man, who was still looking at the embroidered blanket, not knowing what she was thinking.

Tang Zhou whispered: "This brother Liu has a lot of friendship with his master, and he often comes to my master to play games."

Yan Dan immediately lowered his voice: "Is that Young Master Liu's chess skill bad? He loses every time, but he feels very unwilling, so he often comes to your master to play chess?"

Tang Zhou was silent.

The woman who put her face on the carriage before smiled slightly and said: "The girl said it was generally good, but she said something wrong. The chess skill is very bad, and she loses every time, but she feels very unwilling. Actually It is Tang Gongzi’s master."

Yan Dan was in awe. She wanted to come to the kind of smart chess players, who are often rare smart people in the world, who plan tactics and take three steps. She looked at that Young Master Liu with a very different mentality from just now, but the other party remained motionless, still looking at the embroidered blanket on the opposite side.

Yan Dan had to take a closer look at the tapestry. Apart from finding a knitting error in a corner, he still didn't see anything special, and was immediately at a loss.

The Liu Gongzi's name is Weiyang. He is a native of Liuzhou, who likes to travel around the five lakes and three rivers. He traveled to Youzhou at the beginning of the year. He has only now returned home and stopped by to visit Tang Zhou's master.

These are all said by his handmaid, Xuer.

At this time, Liu Weiyang sat half leaning against the soft cushion, holding the tea cup in his hand, raising his hand to lift the lid, his sleeves moved slightly, blowing the tea leaves floating on the water gently, slowly and gracefully After a sip, it became even more unpredictable. Yan Dan knew that even if he was given a cup to a fool and taught him how to taste tea, no one could tell that he was foolish.

Xu'er whispered: "My son, Anping Town is in front of you. Do you want to get off the car to hit the tip, or let people bring the dishes to the car?"

Liu Weiyang raised his eyes and nodded slightly.

There was a bump in the carriage, and Yan Dan didn't have time to sit firmly, and slammed into the wall of the carriage.

Xu'er lowered her head and said softly: "Xu'er understands."

Yan Dan couldn't help but ask: "What do you understand?"

Xu'er smiled slightly: "My son said that he wants to get out of the car and hit the tip."

"How did you know?"

Xu'er looked at a loss, as if she didn't understand why she asked: "Because my son nodded."

Yan Dan gave up completely and retracted into the corner. Tang Zhou glanced at her and said nothing. About half an hour later, the carriage came to a halt slowly, and Xuer raised the curtain to look out: "Anping Town is here."

Yan Dan got out of the carriage carefully and walked two steps on the ground. Fang felt that his swollen ankle was almost healed. Speaking of this matter, I still have to thank Liu Weiyang. Tang Zhou said that he was going to the town to find a orthopedic doctor, but the young man Liu stretched out his hand and grabbed her ankle without saying a word. Yan Dan dared to swear to the sky. At that moment, she absolutely heard her bones make a clear and sweet "Kaba". She had half a cup of tea, and she was immersed in the painful and unbearable pain. Can't tell the situation.

Yan Dan never dared to look at him directly, this person is definitely more ruthless than Tang Zhou.

The four of them walked into the restaurant in the town. Xu'er followed Liu Weiyang all the time. After sitting down at the table, Xuer still stood behind Liu Weiyang. Yan Dan guessed that Young Master Liu's identity must be very unusual. Liu Weiyang, Liuzhou Weiyang, and his parents are not too lazy. If you combine the two place names, it will be the name of your child?

Liu Weiyang looked at Tang Zhou and whispered: "Brother Tang, you come to order." Tang Zhou shook his head and retorted: "Brother Liu will come here. I'll be bothering you for a long time. Please."

Liu Weiyang nodded slightly and reported several dishes with a low, ear-comfortable voice. It was the first time that Yan Dan heard him say so many words in one breath, and his heart was inexplicable.

It’s just that this meal was really boring, and it made the most of it. The dishes Liu Weiyang ordered were good, and the chef's craftsmanship in this restaurant was also good, but the people who ate were too boring. But in the Klanglan Mountains, this kind of thing would never happen, and I slowly developed the habit of being uncomfortable without saying a hundred words a day.

After that, I missed the hotel head and can only stay overnight at Tianbian. Yan Dan suffered a whole day. Except for Xu'er who would answer her a few words, she didn't want to talk to Tang Zhou. Liu Weiyang estimated that he had said no more than fifty words throughout the year, and the dark coachman and His son is also a saw-mouthed gourd.

Yan Dan was so uncomfortable that she had to walk far away.

The evening breeze blew across the paddy field, bringing a smell of earth, and the silver-white moon hung on the edge of the field, peaceful and quiet. It's still spring at this time, and if it comes to summer, there will probably be the sound of insects, which is even more special.

Yan Dan walked a few steps along the field path, and suddenly saw a gray figure rushing out, and could not help taking a few steps back. The man had a face-to-face encounter with her, and both of them were shocked. Yan Dan looked at the man and felt very familiar, and immediately remembered: "You—" the man hugged his face, and yelled, "It's not me, it's not me..."

Only hearing the sound of the wind, Tang Zhou's sleeves were fluttering, and the placket was windy. It passed over the man's head, and the scabbard stroked the man to the ground: "Say, was the Shen family fire? Put it?"

The man immediately smiled and said: "Why would I go to burn my house?"

This person is actually Master Shen.

Yan Dan stepped forward and smiled slightly: "Since you didn't set Zhuangzi on fire, you must have killed Miss Shen."

Master Shen smiled bitterly: "Girls don't want to laugh, how could I harm my own flesh and blood?"

Yan Danzheng drew out the long sword in Tang Zhou's hand, only to realize that the sword was too heavy. She staggered, almost slashing at Master Shen's face. Tang Zhou gave her a hand behind him, and the sword was leaning back, just nailed to Master Shen's face. Master Shen was frightened in a cold sweat, and talked in a good voice: "Miss Yan, be careful, be careful, don't shake your hands. This sword is too heavy, let Tang Gongzi hold it more safely."

Yan Dan pouted slightly: "You're still talking nonsense, Miss Shen is not your biological daughter."

Master Shen simply replied: "Yes, Yijun is indeed not my own, but I have treated her like myself. Even if she is sometimes crazy and stupid, I still treat her like this. How could I be killed? Her?"

Tang Zhou took the long sword in Yan Dan's hand and slowly said: "In this way, do you know that this murderer is someone else?"

Master Shen immediately closed his mouth, his face gray: "Where is there any murderer... It's dry and dry, and the fire is not a strange thing, why bother..." He seemed terribly scared, no matter what Tang Zhou asked. Whatever, I kept silent.

Tang Zhou sighed, and had to return his sword in its sheath. Suddenly listening to Yan Dan's voice with a smile, Wen Wen said softly: "Are you really not going to tell the truth? That's fine, you must not confess afterwards." She suffocated for a day, no one was speaking with her. It is rare for someone to bring it to the door, so naturally it cannot be let go easily.

Master Shen simply closed his eyes and decided to ignore them.

Yan Dan squatted beside him and said leisurely: "There was an adult in this dynasty who was very proficient in criminal law. The official worshipped Shang Shu from the Criminal Department. No one under his hand dared not recruit. Chi Jun, have you ever heard of it?" She lit the other's eyelids: "Master Chi said, digging your eyeballs is nothing. You have to cut your eyelids clean but your eyeballs are still there. That's a skill." Cold fingers slipped from the eyelids. To the nose: "What's so great about cutting your nose. It needs to be cut right and you can breathe like before. But keeping the tongue is useless, so you don't yell too harshly if you take it off."

Yan Dan squinted: "Do you know what a live peel is? I heard that if you put a person on a fire until it is half-ripe, then the skin and flesh will loosen, as long as the knife is separated a little, and then exposed..." Master Shen opened his eyes and trembled: "I said, I will say everything!"

Yan Dan lightly shook his finger: "No, no, don't say it. Brother, you go and light a fire, let's try to see if the torture of deprivation is the same as that of the old man, and then slow down Slowly, little by little, cut."

Master Shen quaked: "Shen Yijun and I are...'s subordinates, we all listen to his orders. Tang Gongzi's soul is pure, if we can get it, we don't need to be controlled by others. We all want it. ......The result is...... the man found out that we were ill-intentioned, so, so......"

Tang Zhou whispered: "Who is that person you are talking about?"

Master Shen's eyelids twitched, making a few guttural noises, but couldn't speak.

Yan Dan sighed: "It seems that I should make a fire first, while roasting. I heard that after the human skin is peeled off, the inner texture is still intact, and the meridian pulse can be seen clearly, you You must really want to see it?"

Suddenly hearing a few coughs, an old farmer crouched came over from the field, holding a dry tobacco pipe, and walking slowly with his back. Tang Zhou dragged Master Shen into the bushes on the roadside, pulling Yan Dan back into the bushes five steps away. Yan Dan sighed: "I was treated as a murderer the day before yesterday, and I will be a thief again this time."

Tang Zhou lowered his voice and said, "You are familiar with those criminal laws."

Yan Dan smiled softly: "I have been fascinated with Master Chi for a long time. The ghosts in the Netherworld Mansion with broken hands and feet have been thinking about his benefits. I have been listening to it for a few days, and my ears have become calluses. Throughout the ages, Speaking of cool officials, he should be the first person."

Tang Zhou didn't know if she was talking nonsense or telling the truth. While talking, the old farmer slowly walked over, smoking the dry tobacco, and the sparks on the pipe were seen to be reddish in the night. Suddenly a faint light flashed, so fast that it was almost indistinct. Tang Zhou immediately took a few steps forward and pushed aside the bush: "That's it!"

Through the quiet moonlight, Yan Dan also clearly saw: Master Shen has a fatal wound on his eyebrows, and the scar is still wet. The two chased them along the field path that the old farmer had walked. They saw a few coarse cloths and a dry tobacco pipe at the end of the road.

And the old farmer has disappeared.
