One hundred and five: Coupling

Li Chan and Nie Kongkong changed their clothes, left the door, and then went to Xiushenfang. The riots in Wangquetai spread here, leaving only a few words. Passers-by were talking and speculating about the situation on Wangquetai. No one noticed a man and a woman passing by.

Just after Li Chan and Nie Kongkong left, less than half a minute, a team of officials led the dogs to the door of this house in Xiuxiangfang. The officials knocked the door knocker hard, and no one answered in the door. The officials in charge inserted the knife into the crack of the door and broke the door bolt. The black-painted wooden door was kicked open, and a group of officials in charge entered one after another and scattered to the various rooms. The dog barked wildly and rushed towards the woodshed. When approaching the woodshed, it sobbed and retreated, as if there was something terrible in it.

The officials looked at each other in all directions, and the leader kicked open the kitchen door. The dog dared to follow in and rushed towards the door of the kitchen. The door was covered with a faint silence. The dog rushed to a corner of the stone steps and barked behind him. The leader approached the official and squatted down to see a trace of blood that was unseen stained on the faint green moss on the side of the steps.

The leading official frowned, returned to the kitchen, reached out to touch the stove, and it was still hot. At this time, an official in the west wing shouted: "Liu Bingcao!"

The leading official waved his hand and led his subordinates into the west wing. He saw a few people lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.

An official sent an official: "Liu Bingcao, these people, seem to be residents here."

The military officer of the Xidu Prefecture frowned and said in a deep voice: "Since these people have been trapped by nightmare, it may not matter to the murderer, but you should not take it lightly. You should rob it first and interrogate it. The murderer is indeed cunning. A bloody coat dispersed many of us. This room has stolen someone else's name, and even if you go to Likui, you will not find any clues."

The official next to him asked: "Wake these people up, ask?"

"You two stay, everyone else will follow me." The military officer pointed out the two of them, and quickly left the house with the rest of the officers and soldiers.

In the north of Xiuxiangfang, Li Chan and Nie Kongkong walked around Yunjing Temple and passed through Fanyin Lane north of the temple. At the end of the alley, they were sealed by the extended yellow temple wall. Behind the wall, the water in the Jinghe Canal rustled.

The temple wall is more than meter high. Li Chan jumped over and fell lightly. The outer wall was connected to the Jinghe Canal Dike, and the bottom of the wall was an old stone brick that was half a palm-sized one protruded, so he could barely get to rest.

There is a black-shoulder boat on the water half a foot from the bottom of the yellow wall. It was spring and the water was quite rushing. There were no wooden stakes with tethers here, but a oar stretched out from the boat, like a wooden spear, nailed to the embankment. The black-shoulder boat just shook gently and did not leave with the water.

When Li Chan saw the black-sailed boat, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face. He turned around and stretched out his hand. Nie Kongkong stepped on the wall to leverage the force, and jumped to grab Li Chan's hand. Li Chan pulled her gently and took her to the edge of the wall. Li Chan jumped downward, and with the slight decline of the convex brick at the bottom of the wall, he fell steadily to the bow. In the cabin, a handsome young man in blue shirt held a wooden oar in his hand and inserted it out of the cabin, looking at Li Chan and smiling.

Li Chan and the young man looked at each other, looked up at Nie Kongkong on the edge of the wall, and shouted: "Jump!"

Nie Kongkong looked at the half-block, with some green moss growing on the brick, smooth and moist, like a loach. She felt a little relieved, but when Li Chan urged her, she simply gritted her teeth and jumped down. Sure enough, she stepped on the surface of the brick, slipped under her feet, and staggered, and fell down. Fortunately, Li Chan was caught and placed on the bow of the boat.

This time, Nie Kongkong pulled the wound again, holding the wooden board on the bow, hissed in pain, grinned, and turned to see the young man in the boat, and she showed a look of defense again.

"Don't be afraid, you are your own people." Li Chan walked into the cabin, patted the young man on the shoulder, and smiled: "Long time no see."

"It's only half a year, and I feel it's too fast." The young man pushed the wooden oar head gently with his palm. He pulled back the wooden oar, and the black-sailed boat shook off the shore. He walked towards the bow, "Go to Jinghe Canal?"

Li Chan said: "Let's hurry."

Seeing that the two of them were familiar with each other, Nie Kongkong no longer doubted him, he went into the cabin and sat down, handed Mei Jianqing out, "Uncle, I'll give you this."

Li Chan looked at Nie Kongkong's waist, "You use this?"

Nie Kongkong pressed the frost white sword with the word "suspended heart" on the wooden board with his right hand, and his body slightly undulated with the black-sailed boat, nodding and saying, "Yes."

"Give it to me." Li Chan didn't pick up Mei Qing, she opened Nie Kongkong's right hand and took the frosty white sword into her hand. "This is also very easy."

Outside, the young man was rowing on the bow of the boat, looking back at Nie Kongkong and Li Chan, raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that you went out of Shenzhasi. It was not long before you got these two good swords. This time..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly caught the word "sunken heart" on the Shuangbai Sword. He couldn't help but feel some impression. After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that there was a pair of divine weapons in Xiyi Mountain, one called "sunken heart" and the other called "Zhaodan". His expression changed, "What did you do this time?"

Li Chan fiddled with the Frost White Sword with one hand. The sword was only seven inches long, similar to a dagger. He swam like a butterfly through flowers between his five fingers. He casually said, "Kill someone."

The young man asked, "People from Xiyi Mountain?"

Li Chan saw the young man staring at the inscription on the sword, and raised his eyebrows, "You know Hong Yixuan from Xiyi Mountain?"

When the young man saw Li Chan's reaction, he knew that his guess was right. He tightened his hand with the oar, "Okay, Li Zhinu, if you dare to break into the Great Qinglian to secretly learn magical powers, you are already very brave. You dare to kill the people from Xiyi Mountain..." Speaking of this, he stared at Li Chan, "Have you sacrificed all the three eight scenes and twenty-four gods?"

Li Chan shook her head, "I haven't cultivated the Tao yet, but it's too soon."

The young man murmured, "You have not yet cultivated the Tao, how can you kill the practitioner?"

Nie Kongkong stared at the young man and asked, "Don't practitioners make meat?"

The young man raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on Nie Kongkong, sighing: "This little lady is also a brave man."

Li Chan said, "I have done it, what else can I say? Just follow what I told you on the sword talisman. Just help me and take me out of Xuandu. Then you go back from the back mountain and be your lotus sweeper. Anyway, Shi Jun protects you and faces the wall for at most half a month, and there is nothing big."

The young man opened his mouth, but finally he wanted to speak but stopped. He sighed and rowed forward.

The northeast of Xuandu City is the highest terrain and the water flows the most turbulent. The water flows to the place close to the old imperial city and then turns to the north. There are already water barriers here, and ships are not allowed to pass through recently. There are only a few large ships docked in the Jinghe Canal within the pass, and the green bird flag is hanging low on the masts.
