Faced with this unexpected situation, You Fang had two choices: either go over and watch the excitement, but that might be dangerous; or hurry up and leave the murder scene. He still had a lot of troubles. But he stood beside Hu Xuyuan.
I was stunned for a moment in front of the corpse, because it felt very strange. The powerful pressure aura over the mountain ridge contained not only a sense of aggression, but also a sense of security. This was too contradictory!
Could it be that two people, or two "things" were confronting each other, each having a different impact on him? Yes, that must be the case! You Fang suddenly understood the source of this contradictory feeling, and it was not something he could sense with his spiritual sense.
It was impossible for him to extend his spiritual sense to the mountain ridge to tease such a powerful aura, but he had guessed it.
How to describe this feeling? You Fang has never experienced it, so he can’t explain clearly. Using the scenes he could recall, he could barely compare it. There seemed to be two living Cangzhou Iron Lions on the other side of the valley, making no secret of their coercive aura. This
The aura suddenly spread out, indicating that they had held back just now, and now suddenly entered a tit-for-tat alert state. However, the earth's energy on the other side of the mountain ridge did not fluctuate violently, indicating that they were still confronting each other and did not take action.
You Fang knew very well that judging from the aggressive and coercive aura, if it was directed at him, he would not be able to escape in this wilderness. Just imagine that a living Cangzhou Iron Lion could actively use its own
To launch an attack with his spirituality, you don’t need to run very fast. You can easily “suppress” You Fang here. But this aura seems to be blocked. Someone else should be protecting him. Who could it be?
Liu Li! All You Fang can think of is the strange old man. As for the other person, he should be Hu Xuyuan’s accomplice. You Fang has never offended such an expert. Only in this way can it be explained. It seems that Liu Li and Hu Xuyuan are not
They were in a group, and they all met me at the Eighth Office today, but they didn't show up due to their own reasons.
As for Hu Xuyuan, of course he wanted to set up a trap to harm himself secretly, and he has already done so. As for Liu Li, the reason why he did not show up may be that he found out that he was in danger, so he protected himself secretly. Is this really the case?
Just take a look and you’ll know!
You Fang carefully walked around Hu Xuyuan's body, with all his strength concentrated, he walked softly through the woods towards the ridge. This is a typical mangrove forest in the Xiangshan area. In early autumn, the edges of the leaves are still a little light green, and
The veins of the leaves have turned dark red and gradually faded outward, just like infected blood stains. No matter how quietly You Fang moved, he would not fly. His footsteps made a slight rustling sound on the fallen leaves. He paid great attention to controlling the rhythm of his steps, and with the help of
Covered by the ups and downs of the surrounding wind.
The closer he got to the mountain ridge, the stronger the sense of pressure in the valley there became. In his spiritual sense, he heard Qin Yu's voice again, which was like a girl's moan. There was also a little light shining on the sword, like the ripples of the pool under the moon.
.
…
At dusk on September 2, 2010, in the nameless valley at the western foot of Xiangshan Mountain, Liu Li, the contemporary geologist, stood upright with a rare serious expression. He held a compass flat in front of his chest in his left hand, which was the Ming Dynasty compass stolen from You Fang's home.
The old man put his right hand behind his back and made a knife-hiding gesture, holding a knife in his hand. It turned out that the standard was the bayonet on an old-fashioned rifle during the Anti-Japanese War of the Republic of China.
The light and fluttering magnetic needle in the Compass Tianchi seemed extremely solemn at this moment. It was not facing south, but pointed at another person standing face to face with Liu Li three feet away.
This person has a very strong figure. He is wearing a casual suit without any extra fat on his body. The skin on his hands and face is so delicate that almost no wrinkles can be seen. His slightly messy semi-long hair is black and shiny. These are usually the appearance of young talents.
Although his appearance is well maintained, he cannot hide his mature temperament.
There were six yellow flags about one meter away from him. The flagpoles were about two feet high and the flag flags were only the size of a palm. There was no wind in the valley, but these flag flags were strangely and slowly fluttering, pointing in the direction of the person in the center.
. He was holding a strange object in his hand, which looked like jade but not jade. Upon closer inspection, it looked like a long and slender bone rod with one end sharpened and a series of fine holes drilled on the surface. It was extremely smooth when rubbed.
The bridge of his nose is slightly high, the tip of his nose is slightly hanging, and his eyes are small but full of sparkle, giving people an unfathomable feeling. But looking at Liu Li at this moment, he showed a bit of fear. He was talking: "I
I respect you as an elder. When I meet you, please call me Senior Liu politely. I haven’t seen you for many years. Why do you suddenly show up here and block Xiang’s way? Our Xiang family has never done anything to offend Senior!"
Although Liu Li's expression was serious, his speech was still out of tune. He sneered and asked: "If I stop you, I will stop you. Don't move the whole Xiang family out. Have you violated the law to Zuohu and want to take everything from the Xiang family?"
Will everyone be arrested and imprisoned?”
It turned out that the name of the man opposite was Xiang Zuohu. He frowned slightly and said, "Senior, please don't mess around. You and I have never had any trouble. What does today mean?"
The corners of Liu Li's mouth moved, as if he wanted to smile, but no smile showed at all: "I would like to ask you what you mean, don't worry about why I blocked the road, what did you want to do in the past?"
Xiang Zuohu became a little impatient: "I go my own way and it has nothing to do with my seniors."
Liu Li narrowed his eyes, his expression was very calm, but his tone was harsh: "Let's make it clear. I have some friendship with your master, and I don't want to embarrass you. Today, as long as you don't interfere, don't give your incompetent nephew a disciple.
If you become an accomplice, I won’t kill you!”
Xiang Zuohu's face finally changed, and there was a surge of anger, and the flags and flags around him also made hunting sounds, but then he suppressed it again, and the anger subsided and he smiled lightly: "Liu Li, it turns out you want to take care of the juniors.
It's our business." His title changed. He no longer called him "Senior" but called Liu Li by his first name.
Liu Li shook his head gently: "You are such an adult, you are over seventy, right? I think you are almost suffering from Alzheimer's disease. You are talking nonsense in front of them. Am I paying attention to them now? I am minding your business!"
Xiang Zuohu: "How can I compare with you in terms of age? Ever since you were injured by your own good disciple sixty-four years ago, I'm afraid you will no longer be able to shake off the majesty of a generation of earth masters. I heard that you have still been able to do it all these years.
It has been non-stop, and you have done a lot of things that have shortened your life, right? ...By the way, have you found the successor? Listen to my advice and stop being so pretentious. No matter how picky you are, you have chosen someone like Feng Jing who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors.
Disciple?... If you are interested, I can introduce you to many young talents, and you can choose your disciples at will, lest you, old man, bring all your skills into the coffin and disgrace yourself as well as the masters of all generations."
Liu Li's face also changed, and anger surged up in an instant. The other party obviously hit on his heart, but he quickly regained his composure, breathed out his nostrils and laughed twice: "Hey hey hey, introduce me to the successor.
, is it just the stuff from the other side of the mountain? To put it bluntly, even if he wants to deceive his master and destroy his ancestors, he can't even touch the door... To tell you the truth, I really have taken a fancy to a boy, and that is your nephew She at this moment.
The person the Bureau wants to harm. How about it, do you understand why I want to block the road?"
Xiang Zuohu said in surprise: "I see, it seems there is some misunderstanding between us. I'm going to tell Xu Yuan not to take action."
Liu Li was still laughing, but no matter how he heard the laughter, he felt chills all over his body: "If I block your way, that kid may be seriously injured, but he can always save his life. If he lets you go, he will lose ten lives."
Here, you can just chat with me, old man, honestly."
Xiang Zuohu: "Senior really misunderstood. I wanted to stop Xu Yuan. He shouldn't have done this kind of thing. The other party is your favorite successor. It's better to resolve the grudges in time. If it's delayed,
It would be difficult to deal with it if it hurts that person's life." He changed his name and called Liu Li his senior.
Liu Li made no secret of his disdain: "You brought this apprentice to Beijing yourself. Don't you know what he did when he slipped out? You also want what he wants, right? So you let him do evil and turned around.
You don't have to commit such evil deeds just to reap the benefits, it's a good idea! ...You are much worse than your master, why did he leave the Xiang family to you?"
Xiang Zuohu's expression changed several times, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. Finally, he still didn't have an attack, and said with a gloomy face: "Senior, is it really just blocking the road?"
Liu Li raised his nostrils: "Nonsense!"
Xiang Zuohu asked: "What if that person is really up to no good? You won't pursue him?"
Liu Li: "As long as you don't break through today and don't do anything to him personally, I won't pursue him."
Xiang Zuohu: "Then let me make it clear. I wanted to stop Xu Yuan, but you, senior, stopped me. If this happens, you can't blame me."
Liu Li said flatly: "I don't blame you."
Xiang Zuo smiled and his expression became very relaxed: "Well, I will accompany senior to enjoy the scenery of Xiangshan Mountain. At dusk, the red and unred layers of the forest will be lightly dyed. It has a unique charm. What do you think, senior?"
Liu Li closed his mouth, rolled his eyelids up, and simply ignored him or looked at him. After a few minutes, Xiang Zuohu saw Liu Li's unmoved expression and couldn't help but asked tentatively:
"Senior, did you think that man could escape from Xu Yuan? So he ignored him."
Liu Li remained silent and didn't answer. Xiang Zuohu asked again: "Do you actually think that Xu Yuan is not his opponent?"
Liu Li finally spoke: "I said your nephew is going to be killed today, do you believe it?"
Xiang Zuohu laughed twice, squinted his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"
Liu Li's expression turned a bit joking: "Can I tell you a story?...I've never been a nosy person. I would take a detour when I saw a snake on the mountain. But one time I was walking on the road.
Okay, a snake suddenly jumped out and bit me. I was so scared that I jumped up the tree. Of course it didn't bite. I jumped down from the tree but killed it and gave it to the master to make soup. The master asked me if the snake was not hurt.
If it comes to someone, why don’t I let it go?… What do you think I answered?”
Xiang Zuohu looked a little nervous: "How did you answer?"
Liu Li: "I told Master that this venomous snake is hiding on the side of the road and biting people. It is really dangerous. Naturally, it can't bite me, but people will always suffer disaster later. If you don't kill it, why would you keep it? Who would have happened to me?
Woolen cloth?"
If You Fang were around, you might be surprised that Liu Li had a similar experience to him when he was a boy. But Liu Li's style, methods of doing things and even his character are very different from You Fang, and even reveal something that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Weird, no wonder You Fang would call him a strange old man in his heart. He knew what would happen on the other side of the mountain, but he only blocked Xiang Zuohu from intervening, and ignored the rest, not caring whether You Fang would lose his life? Regardless of the outcome,
This old man is so ruthless that he never seems to be a good person! If it were Yu Fang, he would never do this. He would definitely try to prevent it from happening in the first place.
Having said this, Xiang Zuohu also had some doubts in his eyes, and asked as if to comfort himself: "Senior, do you know what my disciple is capable of? I brought him to Beijing Badachu this time just to become a disciple and travel around the world.
With his experience and trials, he is about to transform his spiritual sense into divine consciousness. As for that young man, I have seen him in Badachu, and he is far from Xu Yuan's opponent."
Liu Li nodded: "Oh, have you seen it? You really let your apprentice do evil. Otherwise, why are you following here just to see if the apprentice succeeds? If you wanted to stop it, you could have stopped it long ago."
Xiang Zuohu's face became a little worried: "Liu Li! Don't go too far, I am not afraid of you! You have long since lost your majesty after being injured more than sixty years ago. I am grateful for the old friendship between the elders in the family and I did not make a move with you.
...It's such a pity for you that you finally fell in love with a descendant, and then he will suffer disaster again in the blink of an eye. He has no one else to blame, only that he was favored by you."
Liu Li actually had the intention to tease the other person: "Whether you are afraid or not is none of my business! Didn't I just agree that as long as you don't interfere, I won't care about other people's business? Why do you keep talking about it? The head of the sect is a great leader.
She's as verbose as a neighborhood committee lady."
At this moment, the expressions of the two people changed at the same time. During the conversation, they had already activated their spiritual consciousness to move the mountains and rivers, and at this moment, they coincidentally released shocking pressure to confront each other, preventing the other party from making any changes first. Liu Li nodded every word.
He said: "The evil-inducing formation is broken. Your nephew is about to do it." Xiang Zuohu sneered and said: "My disciple has successfully withdrawn from the formation. I don't know whether the man is alive or dead. It's not that I don't want to stop it, it's all thanks to your gift.
"
Even though Liu Li was cunning and cunning, Xiang Zuohu was scheming and sinister, these two rare masters in the world also guessed the matter wrong. Liu Li thought that You Fang had broken the formation and was about to deal with Hu Xuyuan;
Xiang Zuohu told Zuohu that Hu Xuyuan had succeeded and had withdrawn on his own. But the truth was that Hu Xuyuan was already dead at this time. You Fang took a big step back when he drew his sword, not wanting to splash blood all over himself. When he landed, he kicked off one and stuck it in the ground.
Arranged bones.
You Fang did not break the formation first and then kill people, but he immediately drew his sword and attacked, relying on Qin Yu's fierceness. At the same time, Hu Xuyuan also cooperated very well, letting him rush straight into the formation and kill people, and then accidentally "break" it.
The evil-inducing formation that no one controls is broken—in fact, it doesn’t matter whether the formation is broken or not.
Because there is a mountain ridge separated by it, the other side is shrouded by evil spirits, and the two masters' spiritual consciousness secretly confronts each other to guard against each other. Therefore, no one knows the specific situation on the other side of the mountain ridge. They just sense that someone has given up the control of the formation. For a moment,
After that, the evil-inducing array disappeared. As for the details, you can either go there and see for yourself, or wait for someone to come over there.
Of course, no one of them could get over this tense situation. Liu Li said with a gloomy face: "Xiang Zuohu, you can leave!"
Xiang Zuohu's face also darkened: "Liu Li, what you said just now is clear. If I didn't intervene, you can't interfere. Do you still want to harm my disciple now? After I go back, I will punish and discipline Xu Yuan, but
We must take him away today."
"Just wait to collect his body!" Liu Li replied coldly, but couldn't help but have a look of anxiety in his eyes. If Hu Xuyuan succeeded, he would definitely come over to see Xiang Zuohu, but the old man didn't seem to be worried about this situation.
What’s really bad is that the little wanderer who is slippery than a swimming fish will definitely be extremely cautious when encountering such nonsense. If he manages to hide his tracks, it will be difficult to find him in the huge city of Beijing; if he is frightened and quickly
Once you leave Beijing, it will be even harder to catch.
If You Fang slipped away at this moment and did not even deal with the "crime scene", neither of these two experts would be able to do anything to him. But You Fang did not leave, but carefully walked through the woods towards the valley.
Already.
The sky gradually darkened, and there was no movement around the valley except the sound of wind. It seemed that the whole world was rustling. Xiang Zuohu suddenly raised his head and looked behind Liu Li, his face suddenly became bloodshot and became very ugly and even scary. He saw
On the mountain ridge in the distance, a person quietly appeared in the shadow of the trees. Although his figure was well hidden, how could he avoid Xiangzuo Hu who had been watching over there?
As soon as he leaned out from the mountain ridge, Xiang Zuohu spotted him. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could tell at a glance that the person coming was not Hu Xuyuan! His expression changed drastically.
Liu Li was standing with his back to the mountain ridge, looking up at Zuo Hu and changing his color. The old man also noticed that someone was coming, and couldn't help being startled. He turned around and asked: "Little wanderer, is that you?"
You Fang only had time to shout, "Be careful——!" Then he leaned back and became unsteady. If he hadn't hit a tree, he would have almost rolled back. The moment Liu Li turned around to ask, the two senior officials
When people took action, it was Xiang Zuohu who took the lead and suddenly attacked.
Seeing that Liu Li was distracted and turned around, Xiang Zuohu's eyes were full of resentment. He waved his hand without hesitation and hit the bone spur. The six flags surrounding him suddenly turned around while floating. The last two flags separated and pointed diagonally to the left and right, facing him.
The two flags on his side, and the two flags were folded and pointed diagonally forward to the left and right, facing the two flags in front of him. To the left, the two flags in front of him seemed to be stretched straight by invisible force, pointing towards
Liu Li three feet away.
As the flags moved, a vision suddenly appeared!
"Awe-inspiring" and "eerie" are usually used as adjectives in situations with completely different meanings, but at this time, a vast and eerie aura really rolled up in the valley, gathering together and bypassing the left fox, along the way.
The guidance of the flags and flags rushed towards Liu Li like a constant torrent.
How rich and pure is it? When it comes to Yin Qi, many people think of it as black in color. However, it is actually invisible and colorless. It can only be sensed and cannot be seen or touched. But the gloomy torrent that hit Liu Li actually has the naked eye.
Visible "color", dots of faint blue seem to be the dimmest sparks in the world, which cannot illuminate anything, but can be seen in the dark.
Dots of blue flashed forward, like sharp waves in the eerie torrent.
