Old Liu took a deep breath and said, "Who is the Evil Sect looking for?"
"Don't know, most of the identities of those shadows are hidden, even we are not sure."
Old Liu pondered for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "If it is really to find a shadow, the Evil Sect actually did not hesitate to kill people in Immortal City, that shadow's identity and position must be incomparably important, who exactly is it?"
Someone at the side suddenly snorted and said, "Fuyunji has seventy-two patrols, the number of shadows, whether in the light or in the dark, is even more than that, how can it be so easy to find."
Old Liu was silent for a moment, suddenly said, "Old Zhang is usually very efficient, if I remember correctly, the shadows that he contacts, is the one that among all the patrols?"
No one around spoke, Old Liu smiled bitterly, looked around, then faintly said, "Maybe it is a coincidence, but if it is not, I'm afraid … there is a mole here."
Old Liu looked around, smiled, there was some bitterness in his smile, turned and walked away, muttering in a low voice, "The world will not be peaceful from now on …"
…
[Pa!]
A rabbit was thrown on the table, giving Old Ma a fright, then he looked up and saw Lu Chen, Old Ma said, "What is it?"
Lu Chen sat opposite him, said indifferently, "I have been drinking your wine all day, today I went up the mountain to catch a wild rabbit, brought it over to go with your wine."
Old Ma looked at Lu Chen suspiciously, said, "You are so good?"
Lu Chen said, "I caught it along the way."
Old Ma grabbed the wild rabbit by its ear, lifted it up to take a look, said, "There is no poison in this rabbit right?"
"No, I never do that kind of thing."
Old Ma spat, looked at Lu Chen with disdain, said, "What can't you do? The poison that you used in the past can at least kill the people in this village! "
Lu Chen said seriously, "I did not say that I did not poison, what I mean is that there is no need to poison you, I never do that kind of stupid thing."
"Damn it!" Old Ma kicked him, and Lu Chen dodged it calmly. Then Old Ma stood up with a grunt and carried the rabbit into the kitchen.
An hour later, a large pot of steaming hot and fragrant Red Braised Rabbit was placed on the table, and the fragrance it emitted caused one's mouth to water.
It was rare for Lu Chen to praise Old Ma. "Looks like your skills are pretty good."
Old Ma wiped the sweat off his forehead and said proudly, "Of course!" Without calling for Lu Chen, he picked up a piece of rabbit meat with his chopsticks and threw it into his mouth, chewing it in big mouthfuls.
Lu Chen smiled and picked up his chopsticks. Just as he was about to reach out, he suddenly heard Old Ma make an indistinct "eh" sound and then spit out the rabbit meat on the table.
Lu Chen frowned and said, "What's wrong? Could it be that a fatty like you can actually make something poisonous out of nothing? "
Old Ma smacked his lips a few times and said with a strange expression, "This rabbit meat is a little strange. Why is it so sour? That shouldn't be the case, right?"
Lu Chen was startled and slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand. His gaze swept over the pot of rabbit meat and after a moment, he asked softly, "Very sour?"
"It's extremely sour, that's strange!" Old Ma poured a cup of wine from the side and rinsed his mouth. Then he shook his head and said, "What the hell! I've never eaten such sour rabbit meat in my life. Where did you catch it? "
Lu Chen looked at the rabbit meat quietly and said, "I caught it from the tea mountain."
Old Ma mumbled and paused for a moment before he couldn't help but try a piece. In the end, he immediately spat it out and scolded, "This isn't a fucking wild rabbit, it's a sour rabbit! Hey, Lu Chen, why don't you try it? "
There was no expression on Lu Chen's face. After a while, he said, "You've already tried it. Do you think I don't believe you? This rabbit meat can't be eaten anymore. Throw it away. "
After speaking, he stood up and walked out of the tavern.
…
As he walked on the bluestone path, Lu Chen's expression looked a little ugly. His gaze was straight ahead and he silently walked back to his grass hut at the foot of the mountain.
But just as he was about to enter the door, his body suddenly paused and he raised his head to look at the tea mountain.
On that distant mountain peak, everything was as calm as usual. The wind blew through the tea trees and the mountain forest was silent. Apart from the direction of the back of the mountain, a wisp of black smoke suddenly floated up.
There were no flames, no torches, and there was no one waving them. There was only a thin wisp of black smoke curling up.
Lu Chen silently stood where he was, looking at the black smoke on the distant mountain. After a while, he opened the door and walked in. With a bang, he tightly closed the door behind him. It was as if he had shut the entire world behind him.
The sound of the wind gradually grew, becoming somewhat mournful. The sky began to darken. The dark night was about to arrive.
…
This night the wind was very strong.
The cold wind blew past the tea mountain and the grass hut. That trace of coldness seemed to penetrate through the walls, giving people the illusion that it was not summer, but winter. The sound of the wind was especially mournful, like the mournful cry of a woman, echoing in the night.
It was already dark outside. Lu Chen lay motionless on the bed in the grass hut. His eyes were closed, as if he had already fallen asleep. Even the cold wind outside could not wake him up.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound mixed with the cold wind. In the dark world, it was like careful footsteps, slowly approaching the grass hut. In the wind, a few strands of thatch on the roof were blown up, shivering.
A black shadow appeared from the darkness and walked towards the thatched hut. His footsteps were light and heavy, like a phantom in the night wind. When he reached the door of the hut, the black shadow suddenly stopped and stood still.
The night wind blew bitterly, and the darkness seemed to cover the entire world. At this time, the tea mountain seemed to suddenly become abnormally sinister, terrifying, and tall. The shadow of the mountain was like a giant, about to crush down at any time.
In the darkness, there seemed to be a sound of breathing that quickened, but also like a rapid heartbeat. In the silence, the black shadow seemed to raise a hand and touched the door.
The night grew darker. Under the eaves of the grass hut, one could not see their fingers in front of them. They could only vaguely see that thick, ink-like shadow spreading over. Just as it was about to touch the door, suddenly, in the darkness, the door suddenly opened, and at the same time, there was a clear roar.
The shadow in the darkness seemed to be startled and froze for a moment. In this split second, there seemed to be a large mass of dark shadow spewing out from the grass hut, covering the shadow outside.
