In the dark night, Shangguan Xiaowan couldn't see the arrows that were being shot one after another, but based on the chaotic sound of the arrows falling to the ground, she guessed that the minions who fired the arrows were shooting them randomly, and it was impossible to see where she was standing.

With this idea in mind, she boldly flew into the back village.

Entering Houzhai, it was still dark. Except for the courtyard houses one after another, all the doors were closed tightly. There were no guards anywhere, and it was impossible to find out where the cells were.

At this time, there were bursts of shouts on all four walls of the Tiangong Gang and in some courtyards. From time to time, rows of feather arrows were shot out blindly and flew through the air. However, they were suddenly violently attacked again.

The strong wind blew away, I don’t know where it went?

Shangguan Xiaowan stood in the corner of a house. Although the arrows shot randomly could not hit her, she was extremely anxious because she hoped that someone from the Tiangong Gang would come out to fight with her. However, she has not heard of anyone coming out until now.

movement.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a faint "bang bang" sound of wooden fish!

Shangguan Xiaowan was moved when she heard this. She guessed that the person knocking on the wooden fish and reciting Buddhist scriptures was probably the wife of the old leader of the Tiangong Gang and the mother of Elisha Xi.

Both she and Nangong Haotian had guessed based on Elisabeth's skin color that the old gang leader's wife must be from the Central Plains and a very sensible chivalrous woman.

Thinking of the chivalrous woman, Shangguan Xiaowan decided to pay a visit to the old lady, and maybe get some information and help from her.

With a certain thought in mind, Shangguan Xiaowan followed the sound of wooden fish and looked forward.

Due to the large number of houses, the strong wind, and the need to be careful of being hit by cold arrows shot from time to time, it was difficult to control the correct direction for the sound of wooden fish that drifted in the wind.

Gradually, the sound of the wooden fish was heard more clearly, and there was no sound of arrows flying overhead, but the shouts on the surrounding walls and in the village were still there.

Shangguan Xiaowan walked along a narrow road and found many black shadows flashing sharply in the darkness ahead. She guessed that there were many dwarf trees planted there.

When I arrived, I saw that there were indeed flowers and trees with broken branches and trunks. I guessed that I had entered a larger garden. The sound of wooden fish came from a small courtyard in the garden.

Shangguan Xiaowan did not hesitate and ran over.

The red-painted moon-shaped round door is tightly closed, but from the tiled hole walls on both sides, you can see that the golden light is shining in the middle Buddhist hall. The sound of wooden fish can be heard clearly in the middle Buddhist hall, and there is slight chanting.

Voice.

There are also small rooms on both sides of the central Buddhist hall, but only the one on the left has a very weak light.

Shangguan Xiaowan knew that the wife of the old gang leader was reciting the evening sutra and could not come to open the door for her, so she had to put her right hand on the wall and flew into the small courtyard. She reached the door of the Buddhist hall in one leap.

Just when she fell under the door of the Buddhist hall, there was a sudden sound in the room, and the wooden fish knocked three more times, and the chanting stopped.

Shangguan Xiaowan was shocked when she heard this, and her luck was immediately on alert.

As soon as the three rings of the wooden fish sound were finished, a kind voice of a middle-aged woman said: "Huixin, there is a distinguished guest coming, please open the door!"

Then a girl's fearful and trembling voice said: "Old... old lady..."

Then came the middle-aged woman's voice, urging: "Don't be afraid, open the door quickly!"

The girl answered yes, and then there were footsteps coming to open the door.

Shangguan Xiaowan was a little dazed. She really didn't expect that the hearing of the middle-aged woman inside was so sensitive. She must have good martial arts skills.

At this time, based on the name of the girl named Huixin, she was sure that the woman who spoke was the wife of the old leader of the Tiangong Gang and the mother of Elizahi, who was an expert in slingshots.

Just when she was thinking, the door latch sounded, and the door opened a crack with a "yeah" sound. A girl in gray clothes and a gray felt hat stood at the door with a pair of frightened eyes flashing.

between seams.

When Shangguan Xiaowan saw her, she smiled before saying anything. She nodded hurriedly and said softly: "I have something to see the old lady!"

"Please come in!" Before the frightened girl in gray could say anything, the middle-aged woman inside said kindly.

Because of the middle-aged woman's words, the girl known as Hui Xin hurriedly moved away.

Shangguan Xiaowan nodded and smiled, then walked into the Buddhist hall.

The interior of the Buddhist hall is neat and simple, except for a small Buddhist pavilion and an incense burner and oil lamp on the altar table, as well as a few volumes of scriptures and wooden fish.

I saw the middle-aged woman who spoke, also wearing gray clothes and a gray felt hat. Like the girl Huixin, she had not shaved her hair, but she was dressed like a nun.

The middle-aged woman has delicate eyebrows and beautiful eyes. She seems to be forty-five or six years old at most. Although she is dressed like a nun, her noble temperament cannot be concealed.

Shangguan Xiaowan did not dare to look at her for a long time, so she saluted and said respectfully: "Junior Shangguan Xiaowan, please see the old lady!"

The middle-aged woman only raised her hands and said "I don't dare", and did not let Shangguan Xiaowan sit down. She solemnly asked: "What's the urgent matter, miss?"

Coming to the village?"

Shangguan Xiaowan could only say respectfully: "This junior wants to ask the old lady about something that I am eager to confirm."

The middle-aged woman smiled calmly and said: "I have not heard anything about the Weixiong Tiangong Gang for a long time. I am afraid it will be difficult for me to satisfy the girl."

Shangguan Xiaowan knew that the name Wei Xiong the middle-aged woman mentioned was the name of the old leader of the Tiangong Gang. She also knew that what the middle-aged woman said was not a prevarication. Based on the situation in front of her, it was impossible for the middle-aged woman to intervene anymore.

Things happening in the Yiliwei Xiongtian Gong Gang.

However, since you have entered the Buddhist hall, you must always ask her, and you may be able to get some clues.

Her thoughts settled, but before she could speak, the middle-aged woman continued solemnly: "Girl, if you have anything to say, please speak quickly. You don't have much time."

Shangguan Xiaowan was shocked when she heard this, and asked in surprise: "The old lady is saying..."

The middle-aged woman explained: "I mean, the strong wind is about to pass. At that time, they will come out and surround the Buddhist temple, and I will not be able to save you!"

Shangguan Xiaowan asked in confusion: "The old lady is saying that they have to wait until the wind stops before they dare to come out?"

The middle-aged woman nodded slightly and said, "Yes, they have discovered that you have sneaked into the back village. I'm afraid they will come when the wind weakens."

Shangguan Xiaowan concentrated and found that the wind outside the house had not weakened, and said in confusion: "The wind is still strong now!"

The middle-aged woman snorted softly and said: "The wind will stop in a moment at most, so I say you don't have much time!"

Shangguan Xiaowan is not afraid of people from the Tiangong Gang coming out. If she can't find out the reason from the middle-aged woman, she will go to the old gang leader Yili Weixiong.

After thinking about it, she straightened her face slightly and said respectfully: "I'm afraid the old lady still doesn't know the purpose and details of this junior's visit..."

The middle-aged woman said: "If you are willing to speak out, I am also willing to listen."

Shangguan Xiaowan nodded and said: "Junior and my fiancé Nangong Haotian, the evening before yesterday..."

The middle-aged woman's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said in surprise, "Are you one of the girls who came with that young man with strong martial arts skills the night before yesterday?"

Shangguan Xiaowan nodded and said: "Yes, old lady..."

The middle-aged woman asked in confusion: "Why do you have such a big emergency that you come back late at night in such a strong wind?"

Shangguan Xiaowan said: "The old lady didn't know something. After we left this place, we camped in a secluded place twenty miles away to rest at night. Unexpectedly, not long after we camped, the young woman's fiancé disappeared...

…”

"You?" The middle-aged woman's expression changed upon hearing this, and she asked in surprise: "You mean he went to the Tianshan Sect with Xi'er?"

Shangguan Xiaowan was shocked when she heard this, and her expression suddenly changed, because the Xi'er the middle-aged woman was talking about was none other than Elisa Xi, the daughter of the old leader of the Tiangong Gang.

According to the middle-aged woman's tone, Elisha Xi had indeed gone to the Tianshan Sect, which also confirmed that Second Wudie was not lying.

If Er Wudie is telling the truth, then it is absolutely true that Nangong Haotian was placed under house arrest by the Demon Dragon Slayer King in the dungeon of the Tiangong Gang.

Shangguan Xiaowan's thoughts were racing, she looked at the middle-aged woman, shook her head slightly, and said resolutely: "No, he did not go to play with the girl Eliza, he was locked up in the dungeon of Dazhai by the old gang leader...

"

"Absolutely impossible!" the middle-aged woman said in a deep voice and angrily: "Don't say that your fiancé is extremely skilled in martial arts. No one in the village can be his opponent. According to Xi'er, there is no one among the heroes in the entire Tianshan Mountains.

It’s better than anyone else’s.”

Shangguan Xiaowan said sternly: "Miss Elisaxi is right, but the one who came to seduce my brother Haotian is the Demon Dragon Slayer King..."

"Demon Dragon Slayer King?" The middle-aged woman was stunned when she heard this, and asked in confusion: "What Demon Dragon Slayer King?"

Shangguan Xiaowan explained: "The Demon Dragon Slayer King is the most famous vicious old man in the Central Plains, named Yin Daoyan. It is said that he is also a friend of the old leader of the Gui Gang..."

"That's absolutely not the case!" the middle-aged woman said solemnly: "I know every friend of Wei Xiong's. Among our friends, there is no one named Yin!"

Shangguan Xiaowan had no choice but to explain: "It could also be the friends the old gang leader made when he went to the Central Plains in the past..."

The middle-aged woman said seriously: "Even if he is a young friend, as long as he comes to Dazhai, he will definitely bring him to the Buddhist temple to let me know him!"

Shangguan Xiaowan explained: "According to the information we received, the junior's fiancé Nangong Haotian and his master Changbai Master are all under house arrest in the dungeon of your gang!"

The middle-aged woman said solemnly: "There are no dungeons at all in the Tiangong Gang's stronghold, not even a cell..."

Shangguan Xiaowan let out a surprised sound, and could only say: "Maybe he is locked up in another house!"

"Absolutely not!" The middle-aged woman said resolutely: "Now I can tell you frankly that although I have no longer interfered with the affairs of the gang, Wei Xiong stopped me from cutting off my hair and becoming a nun in order to please me.

, every evening, you still have to come to me to report on the day’s major events in the gang..."

"Is the old gang leader afraid of your displeasure and dare not speak out..." Shangguan Xiaowan said tactfully.

"Absolutely not!" the middle-aged woman said resolutely: "I hope you believe what I said. Your fiancée is definitely not in this village. It is possible that he went to the Tianshan sect with Xi'er...

…”

"Absolutely not!" Shangguan Xiaowan said resolutely.

The middle-aged woman was stunned when she heard this, and asked in confusion: "How can you be so sure?"

Shangguan Xiaowan said seriously without hesitation: "Just like the old lady has the same confidence and assurance in the old gang leader!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but smile dumbly, shook her head and said, "You must remember that Nangong Haotian is still young, while Yili Weixiong is an old man in his seventies or eighties..."
