Hua Wuqi didn't pay too much attention to what happened behind him. He had already walked far away and vaguely heard some sounds, but they were all covered by the noise.

He was now completely focused on Zhou Wangchao, wanting to find him as soon as possible.

The small forest is not far ahead. It was planted by Ganyun Temple. It is bare and not very beautiful in winter.

Hua Wuqi passed through the crowd, jumped over the fence at the edge of the forest, stepped on the dead branches and leaves, and walked quickly into the forest.

From the outside, the forest doesn't look big, but once you get in, you realize how vast it is. When you are in the forest, there are only lights and shadows everywhere, but no one can be seen in the large area.

The man only said that Zhou Wangchao was here, but did not give the specific location. He could only let go of his senses and look for it bit by bit.

Hua Wuqi had thought that this was a trap, but he had no choice. All he could do was jump in.

But fortunately, since the man in the dark asked him to come here, it was not to play a trick on him.

A tall figure fell from the sky and punched him down!

Hua Wuqi seemed to be walking forward unprepared, but in fact he had already been on guard, and even noticed when the opponent's Qi was revealed.

Therefore, when the sound of breaking through the air appeared, he calmly avoided it, and did not care about seeing the opponent's face clearly, so he took action directly.

Above the raised sword fingers, the sharp sword energy came out instantly, like a falling snow. In this quiet winter day, it was especially chilly.

The attacker had no idea that Hua Wuqi's reaction was so fast. He had no time to change his moves in a hurry, and Hua Wuqi's sword was already approaching.

The sword energy was so cold that his eyebrows stung for a moment, as if they were being torn apart, and a strong sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

The big man only had time to raise his arms to parry, and the next moment he let out a scream, but his forearm was cut off directly by the sword energy.

Hua Wuqi's expression remained unchanged. He didn't even blink at this. He reached out and grabbed the big man's shoulders. His true energy surged and directly sealed the big man's acupuncture points.

Only then did he pay attention to the other person. He was a man with a rough face, but now his face was pale, cold sweat could be seen faintly on his forehead, his eyes were full of resentment, and he was looking at him with hatred.

"Who are you?" Hua Wuqi asked.

Although he was asking, his senses were always vigilant. He had noticed that the strong man was true before, but that was when the other party took action. He was hiding in the forest before, and he did not notice it. From this, it can be seen that the other party was hiding in the forest.

There are indeed means to concealment.

However, Hua Wuqi still felt somewhat relaxed, because the person in front of him was not a gray robe, but even though he asked, the strong man did not respond and still stared at him.

Hua Wuqi couldn't help but frown, and just when he was about to continue asking, he suddenly noticed that the eyes of the strong man in front of him seemed to flash for a moment.

There was a gust of wind.

Hua Wuqi's expression changed, and he turned around suddenly, only to see a small fist, which was completely knocked away in the next moment.

He hit a tree and couldn't help but vomit blood when he fell. He tried hard to see the slowly approaching figure, but there was a large area of ​​dizziness in front of him. He couldn't hold on anymore and he fainted.

past.

…

Chu Yunqing also came to the foot of the mountain of Ganyun Temple.

He came alone. Originally, the old miracle doctor wanted to come with him, but he refused.

The old miracle doctor himself had a purpose, and he knew it very well, but this was not the reason for his refusal.

Because there may be danger in showing up rashly, and because of the ambush in the long street before, although Chu Yunxing's strength has greatly increased now, the enemy is still unknown, and he is not completely sure that he can protect Di Hu Zhouquan in times of danger.

After all, I am just a person, but Jianghu is an organization.

What's more, he was here to meet Zhou Wangchao and Hua Wuqi today, and it was inconvenient to do so with so many people.

He came in disguise, wearing a gray robe, and he was no different from the gangsters who wandered around the outer city.

Apart from his size, there is really nothing remarkable about him.

However, he looked around for a long time and could not find Hua Wuqi or Zhou Wangchao.

Did he come too late? He thought. Maybe Zhou Wangchao and Hua Wuqi had met the person Su Zaixin mentioned in his letter.

If that's the case, that's okay. Chu Yunqing continued to walk forward, and then noticed the commotion next to the tea stall.

There is a faint unpleasant smell in the air.

The faces of the onlookers were still filled with fear and disgust, and they pointed at something covered by a straw mat in the field.

Chu Yunqing frowned.

The unpleasant smell was coming from that side, and he could vaguely see something that seemed to be burnt black under the straw mat.

Is he a human being? His heart sank, especially if Zhou Wangchao was roasted?

Chu Yunqing pulled someone next to him to inquire.

"I dare to ask brother, I wonder what happened here just now, what is under the straw mat?"

"Hey, this is really scary to say. The person who was just fine just now got himself caught just after he came out of the tea shed."

"Have you caught yourself?" Chu Yunqing was puzzled for a moment.

"Isn't that right? It burned up and turned into coke. The owner of the tea stall covered the straw mat with it." Although this man said it with lingering fear, the fear on his face was not much. It was ordinary.

When people encounter this kind of thing, they will indeed panic and be scared at first. But after a while, I'm afraid they will just watch the fun.

Chu Yunqing didn't care about this.

He looked at the straw mat and felt a little solemn in his heart. On this day, of course it was impossible for people to spontaneously combust. It must be because of something.

Will it be related to Zhou Wangchao and the others?

Somehow, Chu Yunqing suddenly felt a little worried.

Moreover, he also saw a carriage on the roadside. Because he and Gu Meishu had investigated the carriage before, he had some understanding of the carriage. This was a palace carriage, and it was not ordinary.

This carriage should be thickened, just like Gu Meishu's.

"Brother, do you know whose carriage this carriage belongs to?" he asked the man beside him.

"It belongs to Concubine Yao." When the people around him heard this, their eyebrows suddenly lit up, and they seemed to suddenly be in a conversation.

Chu Yunxing nodded, but in his heart he was not interested in Concubine Yao. She probably came here to pray for blessings in the temple.

He didn't say any more to the man, and after thinking about it, he walked towards the tea stall over there.

This tea stall is not big, but no one drinks tea here now. Probably because of the incident just now, everyone feels that they can't escape from following the boss.

And just now I heard that the waiter at this tea stall went to report to the police, so now there is only a middle-aged man sitting there dejectedly.

Chu Yunqing approached and asked, "Has that person had tea here?"

The anxious tea stall owner glanced at him and said, "Are you from the government?"

Chu Yun shook his head lightly. "Passers-by, curious."

The tea stall owner immediately snorted and turned his head.

Chu Yunxing smiled and asked again, "Did an old Taoist drink tea with a young man here before?"

The tea stall owner still didn't look at him.

Chu Yunqing knew that after such an incident, this person would definitely not be in a good mood, and he could understand it. But he was also anxious, so he took out five taels of silver and put it on the table.

"I know that this matter has nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry. Even if the government officials come, as long as you tell the truth, you will be fine."

"Really?" the tea stall owner couldn't help but said.

Chu Yunqing nodded.

Only then did the tea stall owner's expression soften. Regardless of whether it was true or not, there was always someone who had relieved him.

He glanced at the silver on the table, thought for a moment, and then said: "It's busy today. There are many people coming here to drink tea. There are not many sophisticated people."

Chu Yunqing felt that Zhou Wangchao was a veteran and would definitely not make such a small mistake.

So he said: "That's an old man who looks to be in his fifties or sixties, and a young man. The latter's face is a little dull and expressionless."

Hearing what he said, the tea stall owner suddenly had some impression, "As soon as you said it, I remembered that there were two people here. They had been here since the morning. As soon as I opened the stall, they were sitting here drinking tea.

.A whole morning, a pot of tea, and the water was refilled eight times."

Chu Yunqing laughed when he heard this. This must be because the old Taoist didn't run away.

"Then where did they go?"

"In the middle of the journey, the older man had to urinate urgently. After a while, it seemed that the young man also went to look for him."

"Did anyone come to see them during this period?" Chu Yunqing asked.

"No."

"Is there anything unusual about that?" Chu Yunqing asked again.

"No." The tea stall owner shook his head, "It was just that there was a lot of noise when Concubine Yao came."

"What's going on with the people on the road?" Chu Yunqing pointed to the straw mat over there.

The tea stall owner sighed, with an unlucky look on his face, and his tone was even more unfair, "Who noticed this? He came over to me, but he didn't even sit down, he turned around and left. Who knew just now

Just take a few steps and the person is on fire."

Chu Yunqing couldn't help but think, of course he came to this tea stall to drink tea. Even if it was just for a rest, with so many people here, it was inevitable that he would throw a copper plate and drink a bowl of tea out of respect. But when he came over, he didn't even sit down and left immediately.
