Chapter 451
This is the day that Zhao Feihu has been waiting for.
Ever since he suffered a loss from Bai Xueyin two years ago, he has always kept this strange woman in his heart. On the one hand, he resented being teased and humiliated by her, but on the other hand, he could not help but be shocked by her beauty and her free and easy courage to act.
After saying goodbye to Donglai Inn, he thought he would never see Bai Xueyin again, but he didn't expect that in less than two years, Bai Xueyin would appear on the streets of Luzhou City again.
When his younger brother from Feihu Hall came to report, he told him with excitement that a beautiful woman who might be on the Allure Ranking list had arrived in Luzhou City. She was dressed in white and had a sword hanging from her waist. His heart immediately moved and he ran to check it out in person.
Still at the same place where we first met, in a greasy little restaurant selling beef bone noodle soup, Bai Xueyin was sitting in the corner, quietly eating the noodles with her head down.
Her expression looked a little painful and she didn't have much appetite. Facing the steaming bowl of noodles, she held her hair with one hand to prevent it from falling into the bowl. She held the chopsticks in the other hand and gently picked up a noodle and put it into her mouth.
Inside, chew carefully.
Bai Xueyin only ate three and a half noodles, and barely took a sip of soup before paying the bill and leaving with a pale face.
Zhao Feihu watched from a distance. Because he was afraid of Bai Xueyin's martial arts and was afraid of being recognized by Bai Xueyin, he hurriedly called him the fourth master of Feihu Hall. Yin Shen, the "blast" who was good at light kung fu, followed secretly, hoping to confirm Bai Xueyin's foothold.
After that, he led the crowd to attack again.
Not only did he want to shed the shame of the past, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to get this beautiful woman who left a deep impression on him. This did not mean that he fell in love with Bai Xueyin from the bottom of his heart, but after what happened that year, he could only completely fall in love with Bai Xueyin.
Only by possessing can we get rid of the humiliation brought by her, regain the confidence of the past, and gain the perfection of life.
Yin Shen followed Bai Xueyin all the way out of the city without being noticed at all. He followed Bai Xueyin until he reached the cliff of the river valley, and finally his trace was revealed.
He secretly thought that people would notice him, so he just kept doing nothing and simply kidnapped people. Along the way, he saw that this little girl could not even walk steadily and was so fragile. He was the master of a flying tiger and had a strong body
He's so strong, can he still miss?
Unexpectedly, Bai Xueyin seemed to be weak, but her sword skills were really terrifying. They fought with each other for only three moves, and Yin Shen only saw a flash of sword light, followed by a cold feeling on his hand, and his left hand was chopped off at the wrist.
"Get lost." Bai Xueyin shouted in a low voice.
Yin Shenzao was so frightened that his face turned pale, he covered his broken wrist with blood gushing out, and ran away like he was alive.
When he returned to Feihu Hall, he was embarrassed to say that he was defeated by the little girl, so he insisted on explaining that it was the evil gate in the river valley that seemed to have something sneaky. The girl was weak and suspected of being injured, and she would probably die if she entered the river valley.
come out.
Zhao Feihu didn't believe it and figured that no matter whether what Yin Shen said was true or false, he would go to the valley where Bai Xueyin was hiding to see for himself.
Two days later, he summoned the other two members of the "Three Tigers of Luzhou", the second in charge Meng Dahu and the third in charge Gai Shanhu, his two cousins Zhao Junwen and Zhao Junwu, and the two who had already wrapped their severed hands and were ready to avenge their shame.
Yin Shen and the six of them set out on the road together, led by Yin Shen, and headed straight for the valley.
Even if Bai Xueyin was not injured, he would probably be no match for the six of them. If it was as Yin Shen said, Bai Xueyin was so weak that he would fall down with just one push, he would be able to fulfill his long-cherished wish without any effort.
The only thing worth worrying about is what Yin Shen calls "sneaky".
Originally, if Bai Xueyin was in a normal state, three Yin Shens would not be able to defeat her, and it would be a mercy to have only one hand cut off. However, Yin Shen said that she was very weak, and could not explain why she had one left hand cut off, which would have affected the people in the valley.
The description of the situation is also contradictory and self-contradictory.
Zhao Feihu knew that Yin Shen had a very good reputation, so he guessed that he must have suffered some secret loss and was too embarrassed to say it openly, so he had to make nonsense. But even so, there was nothing to be afraid of now that there were six of him.
He was so cowardly that he only wanted to capture Bai Xueyin, who had always fascinated him, and he didn't care about anything else. He secretly thought that it would be best if she didn't have the power to resist. If there were six of us, we could kill her if we hit one of them.
The fog at the bottom of the valley was very thick, making it difficult for the moonlight to penetrate. The six people holding torches could only barely see each other's hazy figures.
"This is it." Yin Shen said with a guilty conscience, "When I chased me here, the little girl disappeared in the blink of an eye. Just as I was about to go in to look for her again, a ghost flew towards me. I didn't even have time to feel the pain. At once……"
"Okay, okay." Zhao Feihu interrupted him impatiently, "There are no ghosts in this world. You must be too timid and dazzled, so..." He had seen Yin Shen's wounds and already guessed the truth. I gave a general idea, but I just pointed it out in front of others.
Everyone walked along the muddy stream bank. Meng Dahu was the first to see the light of fire: "Brother, look, someone is making a fire in front of you."
The tip of Gaishanhu's nose twitched and he said with a smile: "There seems to be the aroma of roasting things."
"Xiao Nizi can't eat two noodles, and now I'm greedy." Zhao Feihu looked at the fire in the mist, as if his heart was on fire.
He had not taken two more steps when he suddenly heard his cousin Zhao Junwen scream strangely, pointing at a black shadow next to him and saying in horror: "Brother, brother, look!"
"What are you yelling about?" Zhao Feihu cursed and took two steps closer. When he saw the black shadow in the fog clearly, he was secretly surprised.
It turned out to be a coffin.
The wooden boards of the coffin are made of half-inch thick wooden strips, and are covered with coffin boards of the same material. Although simple, it looks even more terrifying when placed in the thick fog at the bottom of the valley.
"It's just a broken coffin, what's all the fuss about?" Zhao Feihu forcibly emboldened everyone and kicked the coffin as if to vent his anger. He was about to turn around pretending to be relaxed when he suddenly saw a figure flashing in the mist.
He thought it was his eyesight, so he asked Zhao Junwen beside him: "Did you see anything?"
"What?" Zhao Junwen was confused.
At this time, Zhao Junwu exclaimed, pointing forward and saying: "I just saw a figure, it seems to be a woman, with long hair."
"Female ghost!" Zhao Junwu held his head and his eyes were as big as walnuts.
"Don't scare yourself, she should be the little girl we are looking for." Zhao Feihu waved his hand, "Let's go to the fire. Whether it's a person or a ghost, who is not afraid of fire?"
Everyone thought it right and gathered around the bonfire where Lan Qiao had been having a barbecue not long ago.
"There is a shallow earthen cave dwelling here." Yin Shen once ran through Guanzhong and pointed to the pit on the earthen slope with his only right hand.
Zhao Feihu saw that the cave was covered with hay and guessed it was where Bai Xueyin slept. He stretched out his feet to poke at the grass on the ground and said, "See if there is anything hidden here?"
Gaishanhu knew that he was referring to the soft bag that Bai Xueyin carried with him. If Bai Xueyin heard them approaching and temporarily avoided it, he might not have time to clean it up and leave it nearby.
He waved his sleeves, and the fierce wind immediately blew the dry grass everywhere, exposing the bare yellow ground.
"There isn't even a hair on the ball." Gaishanhu angrily blew off a piece of hay that fell on the bridge of his nose.
"There is blood on this wall!" It was Meng Dahu who spoke this time. He was always known for his bravery in Feihu Hall, but at this moment he seemed weak.
Gaishanhu took a closer look and saw mottled blood stains on the earthen wall. He quickly turned to Zhao Feihu and said, "Brother, what's going on?"
Zhao Feihu's heart sank when he saw the two brothers being serious. Just when he was about to step forward and take a closer look, the blood stains on the wall suddenly became blurry.
"How did the fire outside go out?" Zhao Junwen's voice came from the entrance of the cave.
"Damn it, no wonder it got so dark inside and no one was watching outside?" Zhao Feihu said angrily, "You don't even know that the bonfire was extinguished?"
Zhao Junwu said from behind: "It was Yin Shen who was guarding the bonfire just now. Others...why are they missing?" At the end of his words, his tone became a little panicked.
Zhao Feihu glared and said: "There are only a few of us, and we are not far away. How can he, a big living person, just say no and be gone?"
Zhao Junwu muttered: "Isn't he so scared that he peed his pants and ran away alone?"
Meng Dahu stamped his feet and said, "I'll go back and find him, you coward."
"Let's go together." Zhao Feihu was still calm, "Don't get separated."
The five of them exited the cave dwelling and went back the way they came when they entered the valley. Zhao Junwen put his hands in front of his mouth and called Yin Shen's name as he walked, but no one answered.
The coffin appeared in public view again.
Zhao Junwen was looking around, looking for traces of Yin Shen. When his eyes glanced at the coffin, his face suddenly turned pale.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Feihu said helplessly.
"Look at that coffin." Zhao Junwen said tremblingly.
Zhao Feihu said angrily: "Didn't you see it just now? How many times are you going to be scared by it?"
"No, it's not..." Zhao Junwen seemed incoherent, "When we passed the coffin just now, was the coffin lid open?"
Zhao Feihu looked at the wide open coffin lid in front of him, and a chill gradually spread down his back.
He remembered clearly that the coffin board was still covered when he arrived.
For a moment, no one knew what to say, only the cold wind blowing through the valley made a strong whistling sound.
Zhao Junwen shuddered and looked back, but he didn't see Zhao Junwu who had been following him. He said in surprise: "Junwu, Junwu is gone too."
"What?" Zhao Feihu was really panicking until now. He walked around the area, slapped his head and said, "Follow the footprints and look for them. The road here is so muddy, there should be footprints."
Zhao Junwen lay on the ground and carefully identified Zhao Junwu's footprints, only to find that the footprints disappeared out of thin air after reaching a position on the edge of the cliff.
"The footprints...are gone..." He was so frightened that his legs became weak and he almost fell to the ground.
"The footprints disappeared halfway?" Zhao Feihu pretended to be calm, "Did he press his own footprints and go back? This can only be explained."
"There must be something wrong with that cave dwelling." Gai Shanhu muttered, "Maybe he discovered something suspicious that none of us noticed."
"Follow the footprints and don't miss any details." Zhao Feihu took a deep breath and followed Zhao Junwu's footprints back to the cave dwelling.
"Is it the blood stains on the wall?" He raised the torch and bravely entered the hole again.
The other three were afraid that someone would "disappear" again, so they held hands and squeezed into the shallow and small hole.
"There's nothing." Zhao Feihu looked at the blood stains on the wall, puzzled.
Suddenly, he felt something flash in the corner of his eye. He turned around suddenly and saw a disheveled female figure blocking the entrance of the cave. It was clearly illuminated by the firelight. It was Bai Xueyin.
But Bai Xueyin's eyes were closed tightly, her hair was messy and draped down from her shoulders, her face was without a trace of blood, and her whole person looked lifeless.
What's even more incredible is that her feet are half a foot off the ground and are actually "suspended" in the mist outside the cave.
"Female ghost!" Gai Shanhu, Meng Dahu and Zhao Junwen could no longer remain calm. They didn't know who shouted first, so the three of them fled together.
Zhao Feihu gritted his teeth, yelled "Watch the moves", and punched Bai Xueyin in the air.
Bai Xueyin didn't say anything, but suddenly she soared upwards lightly, dodging Zhao Feihu's iron fist like insubstantial smoke.
Zhao Feihu broke into a cold sweat. Faced with various unconventional phenomena, he finally no longer believed in the saying that "there are no ghosts and gods in the world." He only hated his parents for giving him two fewer legs, and rushed out of the cave without looking back.
Hua Yuxi sat on the slope above the cave dwelling, gently put down Bai Xueyin, which was lifted up with a cross of golden feathers, and said with a sweet smile: "How is it? Do you admire me very much? It doesn't matter, just feel free to do it boldly
Praise me, I will definitely be proud of you."
Lan Qiao looked at Yin Shen and Zhao Junwu who were pulled up and knocked unconscious by the cross golden feathers. He laughed dumbly and said: "Actually, they are right to be afraid. Your method of using gold chains to catch people from the mist is like fishing."
, it’s almost the same as a real female ghost.”
"Don't say it. In fact, I am also afraid of ghosts. In the past, your wife Xiaoye always liked to tell ghost stories to scare me. This time she had no choice but to do it." Hua Yuxi rolled her eyes at Lan Qiao and said, "Why don't you hurry up and scare me?"
