Chapter 113 All the things that should come and not should come (4)
Seeing that this situation will undoubtedly lead to defeat, Chief Chenyue had no choice but to change his tactics.He suddenly let out a long moan, and the magic circle that trapped the two of them dissipated immediately, and his hands suddenly turned red, and dense red smoke oozes from the palms.

This kind of red mist seemed to be very harmful. Song Jingyan immediately jumped backwards to avoid the leader of Chenyue, but the latter was relentless and followed closely. After all, Chief Chenyue is a warrior who is good at close combat, while Song Jingyan has become a mystic who needs to constantly dodge to find distance.

And at the moment when the two separated, a sudden change occurred.There was a sudden noise from the underground of the inn, and immediately after, the entire ground collapsed, and countless hooks flew out from the ground, hooking towards the Heavenly Exorcist Warriors and Chenyue Cultists who were fighting fiercely.And following the hook lock are more than a dozen huge snare nets.The people in the arena were caught off guard. Although they tried their best to avoid the first wave of hook locks, they could no longer avoid the sudden large net drilled from the ground, and they were all caught in it in an instant.

But these masters are not vegetarian after all, although they are firmly trapped, there is still a way to break free.Under the action of swords and secret techniques, these strong nets were quickly torn apart, and the warriors and mystics got out in a bit of a panic, but after that, their movements stopped.

Dozens of warriors with bows and arrows suddenly appeared upstairs in the inn, and the arrows shining with faint blue light were aimed at them, obviously venomous.These people are condescending and completely occupy the upper hand. The people in the lobby on the first floor can neither dodge nor find any shelter, because the objects in the lobby are almost destroyed by them.

Song Jingyan and Chief Chenyue also had to suspend this life-and-death duel.The two stood by the collapsed pit, looking at the densely packed bows and arrows above their heads, it seemed that they were a little helpless for a while.But the two were leaders after all, and they didn't seem flustered. Song Jingyan turned his head and said loudly, "Is that Mr. Xue Ji? Please show up."

Hearing this shout, even though Xue Huaiqing was outside the inn, she couldn't help but froze all over. An Xingmian was calmer than her, and whispered in her ear, "Don't move around."

"What?" Xue Huaiqing didn't quite understand.

"Your senses were much more sensitive than mine, but you were disturbed when you heard your father's name," An Xingmian said. "Now at least four bows are aiming at us from different positions. I think we have to talk to you." Like Chenyue, those Tianqi obediently became captives."

"You seem to have already calculated that my father and the others will take action, so you didn't plan to hide your whereabouts at all, did you?" Xue Huaiqing asked, "Actually, just now I felt that our position was quite dangerous, and it was easy to be discovered. But you're not worried at all."

"Anyway, the ultimate goal is to meet him. It doesn't matter how we meet." An Xingmian said, raising her hands high, making a gesture of surrender.Beside the two, seven or eight black-faced men covered in dust were slowly approaching.

four

"I finally understand why Yi Tianqi and Chenyue's ability will fall here." Xue Huaiqing sighed.

"The whole town is actually a stronghold they have carefully managed," An Xingmian said, "Just digging these tunnels, I don't know how many years it will take."

At this time, everyone—including the nomadic tribesmen, the Heavenly Chasing Warrior, the Chenyue Mystic and An Xue—had already entered the underground pit of the inn, walked several miles through the tunnel in the pit, and then re-drilled out of the ground .This place is already a sandy mountain in the Gobi, and the small town in the distance has regained its tranquility, as if the series of vicious fights just now had never happened at all.

The treatment of An Xue and the others was acceptable, and someone brought them a skin bag to drink water.It's just that the two of them were forced to wear robes with hoods, and their heads and faces were covered. At first glance, they looked like members of two nomadic tribes, as if they didn't want them to be recognized by others.While drinking water, two familiar figures walked by: Mr. Yuwen and his loyal female scout.Of course, like An Xingmian, they were also watched by nomads with weapons a few steps behind them, who were also prisoners.The two seemed to be preoccupied, they didn't recognize An Xue's figure, and walked over directly.

"Everyone who should or shouldn't have come here," An Xingmian laughed, and said to Xue Huaiqing in a low voice, "This place has become a gathering of old acquaintances."

"The only thing missing is Xumizi," Xue Huaiqing said, "I don't know where this old monster is hiding."

Mr. Yuwen is very generous, even though he is in a dangerous situation, he is still very calm, but her female scout is always restless, Mr. Yuwen wants to comfort her in turn.In An Xingmian's impression, this female scout has always been very calm, but she is so abnormal now, perhaps because she cares too much about Mr. Yuwen.An Xingmian suddenly thought, could there be some stories between this female scout and Mr. Yuwen that are not humane?
"Mr. Yuwen has so many subordinates and friends, yet he brought only one person to take risks. I don't know what his intentions are." Xue Huaiqing said.

"Did you really not expect that?" An Xingmian looked at her, "Young Master Yuwen, who is ten times more cunning than a fox, would be captured so easily?"

After hearing this sentence, Xue Huaiqing suddenly realized something: "You mean, he is the same as you..."

An Xingmian put her index finger on her lips, made a silent movement, and then sat down with Xue Huaiqing to rest.He whispered to Xue Huaiqing: "If I'm not wrong, Mr. Yuwen has the same idea as me. Anyway, he wants to see your father. It doesn't seem to matter what kind of occasion we meet. Anyway, for him, it is incomprehensible." Kaiyuren's contract curse is a dead end anyway, so it's better to fight this one."

"But besides you and me, Mr. Yuwen, Tianqi and Chenyue all want Cangyinzhiyue, and at the same time, they also want to get Saxijialuo in your hand. There are more wolves and less meat, how can we divide them?" Xue Huaiqing frowned. , "Not to mention the fierce god Xu Mizi, I don't even know what he wants."

"I'm thinking about it, and I won't always hope to be exhaustive like before." An Xingmian gave her a smile, "Sometimes, it's good to take one step at a time, after all, you can count on it. Being smart, you can’t count all the changes, so you might as well save your energy and don’t worry yourself so much.”

Xue Huaiqing nodded, and was about to speak, but suddenly her body shook, her half-opened lips moved, but she couldn't say anything.An Xingmian followed her gaze and understood the reason why she was so nervous: a middle-aged feathered man appeared in the sight of the two of them, and was walking towards them.

This feathered man looks about 40 years old. Although his face is inevitably the same as other nomads, leaving heavy traces of wind and frost etching, and the clothes on his body are also very ordinary and old, there is still an undisguised expression in the outline of his face. It can be seen that he was an absolutely beautiful man when he was young.And his blond hair and light blue eyes made An Xingmian faintly aware of something.

Xue Huaiqing's face was pale, staring fixedly at the Yuren who was getting closer and closer, her lips trembling slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't.Her hands unconsciously stretched her sleeves, pulling them up and down, almost tearing the sleeves apart.

The middle-aged Yuren came to the two of them, waved his hand, and the nomad who had been watching them left immediately, leaving only three people present.He lowered his head and carefully looked at Xue Huaiqing's face.Xue Huaiqing once wanted to lower her head to avoid his gaze, but in the end, she mustered up the courage to raise her head, and looked firmly at this Yuren.

"I've been imagining your appearance, imagining how similar you are to your mother," Yuren's eyes slowly filled with tears, "I don't even know whether you are male or female, but in the past I have thought of you all the time for 20 years, and now I finally see you, my daughter."

Xue Huaiqing finally couldn't bear it anymore, and hugged this kind and kind Yuren: "Father!"

An Xingmian sat at the side, watching the father and daughter who met for the first time in 20 years embrace and cry, and she didn't know whether she was moved or envious.Like Xue Huaiqing, he had never met his mother, but his father died after accompanying him until he was more than ten years old.It's just that my father is serious by nature, and he is more strict with himself than he is kind. Although he respects his father very much, he still lacks a bit of intimacy.At this time, seeing Xue Ji and Xue Huaiqing's affectionate father and daughter, it is inevitable that they will be a little jealous.

"I really want to know how you came here these years, but I think you should have more questions than me, right?" Xue Ji asked Xue Huaiqing.

Xue Huaiqing nodded: "I don't know anything about you and mother, especially mother, who is she? Where is she now?"

Xue Ji hesitated for a moment: "I'll tell you all about it in a while. But for now, let me deal with the matter in front of me."

He pointed to the captives in the distance, Xue Huaiqing understood: "Understood, you go first. There is no rush at this moment."

"There's no rush right now." Xue Ji stroked her hair, left the two of them, and walked towards the captives.It is natural that the Heavenly Exorcist warriors are all tied up with extremely thick ropes, but the ropes that bind the Chenyue mystics are somewhat special. All the bound mystics looked very tired.The two chiefs were not restrained, perhaps out of respect for their identities, but each was surrounded by three people who were closely monitoring them, and with all their subordinates being captured, the two probably did not dare to act rashly.

"That's the corpse deer thread, a special rope made from the bone glue of the Shangzhou corpse deer," An Xingmian told Xue Huaiqing, "This thread is very toxic and can inhibit the display of secret techniques."

"They really made enough careful preparations. Of course, you also helped them a lot." Xue Huaiqing said.

"I originally intended to help them with this favor," An Xingmian replied, "That is your father after all. Although I didn't know what kind of person he was before, I still hope that he can care about the relationship between father and daughter, so for the time being Don't fight him."

"I understand. No matter what happens, you will always consider me first." Xue Huaiqing held An Xingmian's hand, but there was a hint of worry between her brows.

"Everyone knows the reason why you came here," Xue Ji said loudly, "You are here to find me, and the purpose of looking for me is of course not for me, a useless person who is half buried in the ground, but for The Cangyin Moon. Then I don’t have to go around in circles, to tell you the truth, the Cangyin Moon is in my hands.”

After these words were spoken, no one seemed too surprised. Just because Xue Ji had arranged such a thorough method to deal with them, he could guess that Cangyin Zhiyue was in his hands.But the next sentence made everyone let out a suppressed exclamation.

"But this magic weapon has already been destroyed by me," Xue Ji said, "I destroyed it 20 years ago."

People who heard this sentence had different expressions.Both An Xingmian and Xue Huaiqing seemed relieved, but Mr. Yuwen's expression was very ugly, while the expressions of Tian Qi and Chenyue were more interesting.The Heavenly Exorcists couldn't believe it, but couldn't restrain their inner ecstasy, making their faces look like they were crying or laughing. As for Chenyue, these well-trained mystics don't easily reveal their inner emotions. But the intertwined emotions of sadness, anger, doubt and so on in the eyes cannot be hidden.

"It's no different from not saying it when you say it," Chief Chenyue said calmly, "People can only prove 'yes', but there is no way to prove 'no'."

"As far as I know, the people you Chenyue sent this time should have been led by another dean, but you were the last leader," Xue Ji said, "Forgive me for my stupidity, please tell me your name."

"I haven't used my name for a long time," the old man with a young face suddenly had infinite vicissitudes in his eyes, "if you want, you can call me Mr. Lu. I don't have any position in Chenyue Sect. Come for the Cangyin Moon."

"Back then, the Cangyin Moon of your teaching was robbed by someone, and finally my wife got it. I don't know the reason for it, but I heard a rumor that it was a high-ranking Chenyue at that time. The dean accidentally made a mistake and was deceived by others, thus losing the sacred object. If you guess correctly, you are the dean who made a big mistake and was cut off from all positions, right?" Xue Ji stared at Lu with piercing eyes Sir, "And the beauty-retaining secret technique you use can improve mental strength, but it does great damage to the physical body."

"It's useless to talk about it in the past. Let's talk about the matter at hand." Mr. Lu said flatly, neither admitting nor denying it.

After listening to this conversation, An Xingmian realized that Cangyin Zhiyue fell into Xue Ji's hands for such a reason.He had been wondering before, with the strength of Chenyue Sect, why the treasure in the Sect was snatched away by outsiders, but now it sounds like it was not a robbery, but a deception.As for how he cheated, Xue Ji didn't say much, but looking at Mr. Lu's young and handsome face, it seemed that he could vaguely guess something.

The elites in the Chenyue Sect are still mortals after all, An Xingmian thought.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, let's talk about the immediate matter. You said that I can't prove 'no', but in fact, I can prove both 'yes' and 'no'." Xue Ji said.

"What do you mean by that?" Mr. Lu asked.

"You'll know right away." Xue Ji said, and gestured behind him. A nomad immediately ran away, and came back shortly after, holding a long wooden box in his hand.Seeing this wooden box, everyone couldn't help breathing quickly.Even Mr. Lu, who has always been calm and composed, narrowed his eyes and his hands trembled a little.

"I can let you see the Cangyin Moon, the holy object of Chenyue, the thing that Tianqi hates the most, but it is meaningless to see it, because it is just an empty shell now." Xue Ji said Then, opened the wooden box.A black iron rod about three feet long emerged from the wooden box, with a small iron ball on the top.

Mr. Lu's complexion changed drastically, but Xue Ji's expression remained the same: "Mr. Lu, please take this magic staff over to see if it is the Cangyin Zhiyue, a sacred object passed down from generation to generation by your Chenyue, and see if I have cheated. "

He held the staff and handed it over calmly. Mr. Lu hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to take it.He used both hands, appearing to be very solemn, and then still holding the staff in his hands with both hands, examining it carefully.And not far away, almost everyone's eyes were firmly focused on this legendary weapon. This was probably the first time these people had seen it.

In fact, from the appearance, there is nothing special about this staff, An Xingmian thought, but it is such an ordinary-looking iron rod that has changed the fate of so many people.

"The Cangyin Moon is extremely hard, and even if it is hit by an ordinary weapon, it will not leave any traces. The only scar on this staff now is the soul-printed weapon cast by Heluo, the lord of Heaven's Exorcism, Yuanlie in the past. Fengzang sword wound, you can see if this scar can be faked." Xue Ji stood aside with folded hands, said unhurriedly.
