The legend of Dukang

Cuiping at night is calm and quiet, each household seems to have a uniform routine, all lights off for bed, and there is not even a trace of extra light on the street.

The three of them walked on the way back without much interest.

There was nothing to gain in the Shen family. Seeing Fang Yunheng's dejected face, Wen Ruyu quickly teased him: "Why, do you really think that the Shen family will put the Xuantian Sword in the ancestral hall in a fair manner and wait for us to catch it? Do you think everyone is Me, I put all my joy and anger on my face! These days, there are not many good people with a straight heart like me!"

Hearing Wen Ruyu's slick tone, Fang Yunheng gave him an angry and funny look.

Seeing that Fang Yunheng finally had a smile on his face, although it was a dumbfounding smile, Wen Ruyu was also encouraged, and continued: "No matter what, I finally entered Shen's mansion today to understand the terrain of Shen's house. What kind of mechanism is the Xuantian Sword hidden in? Isn’t there such a thing in every villain’s house?”

After being teased by Wen Ruyu, Fang Yunheng finally laughed out loud, not so decadent.Then he challenged Wen Ruyu again: "You really show everything on your face. Today in Shen's mansion, you are so crazy about a young man. Are you in love with him? I heard that there are many people in the Jianghu. Even female heroes have a soft spot for you, why don't you say you're interested in men?"

As soon as these words came out, even Jieyou turned his head curiously, and waited for Wen Ruyu's answer for a long time.

Wen Ruyu unfolded the Sky Cloud Fan, and said solemnly: "You guys are not as good as me! Based on the experience of Mr. Wen, I will definitely not be mistaken. Didn't you realize that the servant is a woman?"

Before the two had time to digest Wen Ruyu's words, two silver lights flew towards them fiercely.

Wen Ruyu closed the Sky Cloud Fan calmly, turned around swiftly, turned her wrist "shua" and "shua" twice, and knocked out the two hidden weapons neatly.

Then a red figure flashed past them, the movement was as fast as lightning.Judging from the body shape, it should be a woman.

Jieyou clenched the sword in his hand, glanced at the other two, and said, "Chasing!" After speaking, he rushed forward first.

The two quickly followed their luck, and disappeared into the night after a few ups and downs.

Among the three, Jieyou's lightness kung fu is the best, so he has been chasing at the forefront.

The night was dark, the houses were messy, and the terrain was unfamiliar. After a stick of incense, people were still lost.

When Wen Ruyu caught up with Jieyou, Jieyou had already stopped in one place.

"Where's the person?" Wen Ruyu asked, patting Jieyou's shoulder.

"I lost my trace when I got here." Jieyou's voice was still lukewarm, and Wen Ruyu didn't bother to argue with him.

Fang Yunheng followed after a while, and when he learned that he had lost his follower, his face became even uglier.But his own lightness kung fu is the worst, and he can't blame Jieyou and Wen Ruyu, so he can only curse inwardly.

Jieyou handed him the things in his hand, Fang Yunheng took a look, his face changed immediately, and asked quickly: "Where did this come from?"

Jieyou's words are still very concise: "I just picked it up here."

Wen Ruyu followed his gaze and saw that it was half a piece of jade. He asked strangely, "Is there any problem with this piece of jade?"

Fang Yunheng stared at Yujue intently, and said: "This is the jade that Ling Jueding wears with him, and the other half is in Dingguohou's residence."

Wen Ruyu was shocked.

Fang Yunheng put Yu Jue into his arms and said, "The woman in red may have fallen here. She shouldn't be far away. Let's look for it and see if there are any clues left nearby."

The three of them searched around again, but the weeds were too strong to find anything.The woman in red just disappeared out of thin air.

Wen Ruyu was immediately discouraged, Jieyou tugged at the corner of his clothes, motioned him to keep quiet, and pointed forward.

Wen Ruyu thought there was someone in front of her, so she quickly held her breath, and when she took a closer look, she realized that there was a section of courtyard wall in front of her, hidden among the bushes, and it was really hard to find in the night.

The three of them pushed aside the weeds and walked over carefully, only to find that this was just the back wall of an abandoned house. The wall had collapsed, and the house was overgrown with weeds.

The three of them climbed over the wall and entered the house softly. The moon came out from the clouds and cast a cold light on the house.It may be because of the lack of light all year round, the exterior paint of the building inside has peeled off, some have become moldy, and there is a strong smell of decay everywhere, like festering wounds.

There are many pagoda trees in the house, as if they have been subjected to great abuse, some are dead, some have been chopped down, each tree is twisted and weird, and under the moonlight, it casts hideous shadows, like sleeping orphans. Wild ghosts, who will jump up at any time and pull people into the boundless darkness.

Looking at these weird locust trees, Wen Ruyu always felt a little uncomfortable. He pulled Jieyou's sleeve and whispered: "Why is this place so scary? Didn't we accidentally break into the Palace of the King of Hades?" His voice was loud Very low, as if afraid that a loud noise would wake up the monster.

Jieyou glanced at him: "If you are afraid, you can wait for us outside."

It was rare for Mr. Wen to show weakness once, and he was beaten back so mercilessly!Wen Ruyu was furious in her heart, straightened her back immediately, looked at Jieyou with her neck straightened, and said, "Who said I was scared! When did I ever get scared!..."

Fang Yunheng reminded them from behind: "Stop arguing, the woman in red may be nearby, everyone should be vigilant to avoid being plotted against."

Knowing that what Fang Yunheng said made sense, Wen Ruyu, who still wanted to say something, could only give Jieyou a unwilling look, and rushed to the front with a "hum".

Going around the ruins, I came to a well-preserved small building. Jieyou looked at the small building and said in a low voice: "I seem to have seen this place before?"

He didn't speak clearly, Wen Ruyu was taken aback for a moment, and then heard Fang Yunheng beside him also said coldly: "Yes, we saw this place this afternoon, but from another direction." After finishing speaking , he pointed to the eaves of the house.

Wen Ruyu gasped, isn't this the deserted courtyard behind Shen's garden!The place where Shen Jiaan's deceased uncle lived.There were clearly four bells hanging under the eaves, exactly the same as those seen during the day.

The three of them glanced at each other, but no one spoke.Together they turned over and climbed onto the roof of the small building, squatting on the ragged roof tiles, they were careful not to make any noise.

Although the night was dark, through the bushes, he could still vaguely see the scenery in front of him. The small bridge, flowing water, gazebo, and fish pond were clearly the Shen family's back garden.

The moon quietly got into the clouds again, and a few lone stars were scattered in the sky.

I don't know how long it took before Fang Yunheng said in a low voice: "When the man in red flew past us just now, did you smell a fragrance?"

Wen Ruyu and Jieyou lowered their heads and pondered. Although the incident happened suddenly at the time, they did smell a faint fragrance. The smell seemed familiar. .

The two turned their gazes to Fang Yunheng, motioning for him to continue.

Fang Yunheng didn't make a fool of himself either: "Does that smell resemble the fragrance smelled in the Shen family's ancestral hall today?"

After hearing his words, both Wen Ruyu and Jieyou suddenly realized: indeed.The three of them turned their gazes to the Shen residence in front of them again, could that woman be from the Shen residence?

The three of them were silent at the same time, the lost Xuantian Sword, the mysterious patriarch's temple, the weird green-eyed ghost, the servant disguised as a man, the girl in red who sneaked up, the lost jade, the wonderful fragrance, all kinds of things were complicated, But it is inextricably linked with the Shen family.

"Although the hidden weapon used by the woman in red to attack Ruyu is fierce, it is not a killer move." Jieyou's voice came lukewarm: "Obviously she doesn't want our lives."

"Then why did he attack us and lure us here in a crooked way? Isn't this shooting himself in the foot?" Wen Ruyu asked inexplicably.

Fang Yunheng patted him on the shoulder: "It seems that this Cuiping Town is very complicated, and there may be more than one force. Let's go back today and then discuss it in the long run."

It is really not an option to squat on the broken tiles all the time, the three of them are slowly standing up, ready to leave.Suddenly, there was a sharp howl in the darkness, the sound was as sharp as a howl when a person is torn apart, and the three of them broke out in a cold sweat.

Jie You immediately drew out his sword, and Wen Ruyu also clenched the Tianyun Fan in his hand and waited for it, but saw a black cat running in front of them.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, Wen Ruyu wiped the cold sweat off his head, and Jieyou put the sword back into its sheath.

Seeing their nervous expressions, Fang Yunheng thought it was funny for a moment, and jokingly said: "You two are well-known heroes of the rivers and lakes, but I didn't expect that you have only come to this town for a few days, and you have become fledgling, fledgling boys. Will be scared by a cat, if this spreads, it will make people laugh!"

Wen Ruyu said to Fang Yunheng unhappily: "You still talk about us, didn't you, Mr. Fang, also get scared just now? I didn't say, don't look down on this cat. I heard that black cats are unlucky. Whoever meets them Bad luck!"

As soon as Wen Ruyu finished speaking, Jieyou suddenly looked startled, and shouted: "Be careful." Then he rushed towards Wen Ruyu.

At this time, Wen Ruyu also felt a gust of wind blowing towards her back, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Why didn't she feel the murderous aura at such close range just now.Just as he was thinking, he was thrown down by Jieyou, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, scratching Jieyou's arm, and a few drops of blood splashed on Wen Ruyu's face.Wen Ruyu was startled: so fierce!If he was still standing where he was just now, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

Jieyou and Wen Ruyu fell together in embarrassment and rolled down the roof tiles. If Fang Yunheng hadn't grabbed Jieyou's arm in time, they might have fallen off the roof by now.
