not bound

It has been a long time since the gates of the city were opened to let people out. The reason Xue Zangxue wanted to leave the city was very simple. Master Fuqiu was sick and needed him to go.But going out of the city this time requires the consent of the young city owner of Wuyun City, and the boss is locked up, so only Yunpo can report the matter.

Xue Zangxue came to the edge of the city wall, looking up at the stone body mottled by years of wind and sand on the city wall with his hands behind his back, and the desert eagle that could not find its way back in the drizzling rain and kept circling.

In fact, he doesn't love the desert, the wind and sand, or the dark clouds.This place does not give him a sense of home, and what he remembers in his heart is still the valley on the ice sheet of the Northland. Unfortunately, he has been wandering for many years, and all he can remember are the eagles and vultures that also flew over the mountains and grasslands.

Yun Po saw this scene when she came from the city dragging her body in muddy water. Xue Banxia, ​​a prodigal doctor who usually liked to tease him heartlessly, suddenly became gloomy.He didn't open an umbrella, nor did he wear his impermeable silk, his shoulders were soaked, and even his back looked a bit bleak.

"Doctor Xue," Yun Po walked into Xue Zangxue, "I have already reported this matter to the young city master. He said that he will open the door for you at moonrise tonight. Opening the door at other times may cause dissatisfaction among others."

"It's time for the moon to rise, the young city master is very considerate." Xue Zangxue looked at the sky and nodded.

Yun Po also looked up at the sky. The rain had stopped for a while, but the dark clouds had dissipated a bit. Seeing the strong wind raging, she wondered if she would see the moonlight tonight.

As soon as this thought flashed through, Yun Po suddenly thought of Xue Zangxue's smiling eyes, and a sentence suddenly appeared in her mind: "On the day of the dark moon, a hundred ghosts walk at night. Be careful when going out, and avoid will-o'-the-wisps, otherwise you will easily be stained with blood. "

The sky is still gloomy, with no stars and no moon, unshakable by people's thoughts.

On the day of the dark moon, it might be even darker than last night.

"Will there really be will-o'-the-wisps?" Yunpo asked.

"There are no will-o'-the-wisps in the world, the virtual images are all hallucinations." A Bu replied instead of Xue Zangxue.

Abu held up a purple umbrella and walked towards them bouncingly. The umbrella kept spinning and flying in her hands, like a child jumping with joy like a new toy.

But Yunpo didn't find it cute from the bottom of her heart. After all, behind that small body was a coffin as tall as a person. It was made of unknown wood, and there was a faint luster of glass, which looked very heavy.One must know that it would be heavy for such a little girl to carry a person on her back, let alone such a big coffin, even thinking about it would make her shoulders hurt.

"Brother Xue, I brought Abu here." Behind Abu is Xue Suyi, with wet hair sticking to his neck, it seems that this habit is inherited from his elder brother.

"You can go find a roof and stay there, and you won't open the city gate until the moon rises." Yun Po also took off her own bamboo hat as she felt that she was out of place when she was the only one wearing a bamboo hat.

After a while, the coffin of four people stood under the eaves of the tea house opposite the city wall.

This teahouse was opened under a few golden and silver honeysuckle plants, and because few people entered the city, it has been temporarily closed. The golden honeysuckle has fallen overnight, covering the roof of the teahouse and the surrounding ground.

The sky is not dark enough, the temperature is not cold enough, and the red fruit is not yet ripe. This is an extremely difficult and boring time.

Yunpo and Abu couldn't bear this kind of silence, so one of them rubbed his bamboo hat and looked around, and the other tried to put his head through the window to see what was going on in the house.Xue Suyi seemed to be a little different from usual, a trace of anxiety appeared on her coffin-like face for the first time.

Xue Zangxue closed his eyes, whether he was closing his eyes to rest his mind, or simply out of sight and out of mind, in short, he remained silent, standing upright like a green bamboo tree in the rain.

The sky began to become very high, and the dark gray clouds and the pale sky entangled together, giving people the illusion that the more entangled they became, the more ethereal they became.

The night watch lights were lit above the city gate, and a new batch of guard soldiers finally replaced the previous batch of night watchmen. The blunt sound of weapons being placed on the table, and the indistinct conversation during the changing of the guard, faintly drifted away in the night.

When the moon rose, the city gate let out a heavy sigh.

The door opened a small gap a person's width.

Xue Zangxue waved at the three of them with a coffin on his back, and slowly disappeared at the gate of the city.

At the same time, a blue light flashed past the city wall.

That ray of light appeared just as Yunpo's eyelids kept fighting, closing and opening.

"Ghost fire! Ghost... um..." Xue Suyi pasted a piece of plaster on Yun Po's mouth with ease.

"Abu, let's follow. According to Brother Xue, the Magic Mirror should be in the hands of that person." Xue Suyi said.

Ah Bu nodded, then suddenly pushed open the wooden door of the teahouse, and hid Yun Po who looked astonished inside.

"Yun Butou, please hide here. Help us watch the city gate and see who else will go out. Don't worry, there is a refreshing prescription in this plaster, and you won't fall asleep easily." Xue Su It is rare for Yi to speak softly to Yun Po once.

"Also, there are really no will-o'-the-wisps." She pointed at the honeysuckle tree with a smile, and closed the door.

After a few moves, the two diverged in two directions and disappeared outside the city gate.

Yun Po stood blankly in the tea room, and she could just see the city gate from the hidden small window.Although he didn't know why Abu was able to open the teahouse, and how he discovered the small window hidden under the honeysuckle tree, even if he was an idiot, he could still feel that the so-called Fuqiu Mountain visit was tricky, but unfortunately he could only trust Xue Zangxue, No one can help, no one can be trusted except this physician.

A Bu could vaguely perceive the existence of the magic mirror, Xue Suyi and A Bu had very similar foot strength, so the two ran towards the direction where the blue light disappeared, and the first cooperation was very tacit.

If Xue Suyi is chasing, then Xue Zangxue is completely running away.With a coffin on his back, he had to keep a little speed, so as not to let the pursuer follow him.

The city wall of Wuyun City is too high, only a very small number of people with excellent lightness skills can enter and exit without going through the city gate, including Xue Zangxue.That is to say, it is meaningless for Xue Zangxue to open the city gate and go out of the city, so the so-called Fuqiushan visit can only be a cover, the purpose is to create an opportunity to go out of the city, for himself and for the other party.

The other party will definitely feel that there is a special reason for him to go out of the city, so those who should follow will follow, and those who should take the opportunity to escape will escape.In addition, during this period of time, those who hide in the dark and leak information everywhere will definitely show their tails.

Xue Zangxue ran a long distance in one breath, and almost reached the Fuqiu Mountain area, and could vaguely smell the unique smell in the alternately dry and wet air.

A voice appeared in front of him.

"Doctor Xue, are you rushing to collect the corpse? Don't worry, you won't be able to reach Fuqiu Mountain today."

Xue Zangxue hadn't heard such an insolent tone for many years, and the last time it was Viper Dai Xing and two accomplices stopped him from speaking.Now, it's interesting that this person dares to be arrogant by himself.

"Good dogs don't block the way." Xue Zangxue maintained his original speed.

"Then don't blame me for being rude."

A burly man in black armor appeared in front of Xue Zangxue, with a machete resting on his shoulder, and his appearance was also very arrogant.

Xue Zangxue stopped, but still did not put down the coffin.

"Scimitar Picking Scorpion, you are No.11 on the list of killers, a mad scorpion that doesn't use poison?"

"Haha, Doctor Xue has good eyesight." Kuang Xie laughed.

"It's the first time we met, and it's the first time I know that Kuangxie is a member of the West Rock Black Armor Army. Hey, I don't know if you have heard a rumor that there is a general in your West Rock Black Army. Forcibly burned the food and grass of the Xiyan army, leading to the annihilation of the entire army, and then fled unwillingly, returned to his mansion and killed his wife and concubine, and fled with his tail between his legs. He has been wanted by the whole country of Xiyan to this day. Do you know this person?"

Xue Zangxue smiled, watching Kuang Xie's face darken inch by inch.

"Oh, Kuangxie, your complexion is very bad. Do you want Xue to give you two injections to get rid of the black air?"

The aura of Kuangxie running wildly all the way finally calmed down, and Xue Zangxue's anger rose again.

"Xue Banxia! You are courting death!"

The mad scorpion raised his knife and flew towards him, taking a wild way of opening and closing.

Naturally, Xue Zangxue would not fight him head-on, so he jumped to the side, stepped on a branch of a dead tree, and snatched it into his hand with the tip of his toe.

"Come on, let's play a game."

For some reason, the dead branch suddenly appeared on the neck of the mad scorpion, and patted the cheek of the mad scorpion mischievously, and a cold breath touched the mad scorpion's body through the dead branch.The mad scorpion shuddered violently. Facing the strange cold, its inner strength wrapped its arms and the scimitar, and raised the knife to meet it.

"Every time I spare your life, you tell me a secret, okay?"

Xue Zangxue became a gust of wind, and the sound seemed to be right next to Kuangxie's ears, and seemed to echo through the entire forest.

Kuangxie hacked several times in a row, and kept silent all the time, but finally he didn't dare to underestimate Dr. Xue, who was able to move so fast with the coffin on his back.

Mad Scorpion's heart swelled, he closed his eyes, and the scorpion-picking scimitar "clicked", and it was immediately deconstructed, and it became several pieces in the halo of the insect's five-color armor.

"Is this even giving up the weapon?" Xue Zangxue laughed.

Kuang Xie secretly rejoiced, no matter how advanced this man's martial arts is, he has never seen the world after all, and the scimitar picking scorpion is not just a scimitar.

Kuangxie opened up a loophole first, waited for Xue Zangxue to get close, and then attacked Xue Zangxue again, Xue Zangxue also went in another direction in an instant as he expected.Hearing the metal hooks colliding, the scimitar, which seemed to be broken into sections, pierced the air with a twisted posture, and shot an undercut at the coffin behind Xue Zangxue. "Duo", the hook was nailed to the coffin behind Xue Zangxue.

It turns out that the scimitar seems to have been divided into several sections, but in fact it is still connected. The middle connection is made of a kind of spider silk, which is soft and smooth when not in use. When injected with internal force, it is tough and controllable. This kind of spider silk cannot be seen at all under this kind of night.

Kuang Xie laughed and pulled hard, trying to drag the coffin away. It must be a coffin that is important enough to Xue Zangxue, otherwise, why would he not put it down no matter what.

Scorpio almost applauds his own wit.

The coffin lid flew out under the brute force of the mad scorpion, and the ropes binding the coffin were broken. The whole coffin fell to the ground with a bang, and a figure slipped out of the coffin.

Kuangxie's heart trembled, there was actually a person in this coffin!

But he didn't want to think too much about it, and threw out the scorpion-picking scimitar again, spinning around the coffin board. Under the strange force, the wind howled, making it impossible for Xue Zangxue to get close for a while.

"Heh," that cold snort reappeared in his ears, "I have my seventh life."

The author has something to say:

Mad Scorpion: I am a mad scorpion that does not use poison.

Xue Zangxue: Guess I believe it or not?
