Tao Xian was really a shy person. He was too nervous to speak with Xu Xing Zhi for two more sentences.

Xu Xing Zhi didn"t embarra.s.s him, “Qu Chi is playing with A w.a.n.g outside. You"re looking for him, aren"t you?”

Tao Xian laughed embarra.s.singly, bowed to thank him and hurried outside.

Xu Xing Zhi followed him out of the tower.

It had just rained yesterday, a trench of clear gurgling streams trickled past the tower.

On the day Xu Xing Zhi was able to go to the ground, he kneaded a clay pot with a lump of wet mud. The he asked Meng Zhong Guang to bake the clay pot dry with his magic power and made it into a strong urn pot.

Meng Zhong Guang was happy to do it, or he was very enthusiastic in everything Xu Xing Zhi asked him to do.

When the pot was ready, Xu Xing Zhi began to teach Zhou w.a.n.g how to play Touhu. She had never played such a game before and became addicted to it unconsciously, but her hands, which could wield two blades of one hundred jin, could not hold back their strength so she often break the pot into pieces.

Xu Xing Zhi was patient. Yesterday he made seventeen or eight more pots for her at one go to let her have fun.

When Xu Xing Zhi walked out of the tower, Zhou w.a.n.g had been tired enough and rested lying against Qu Chi.

Qu Chi seemed to love candies. As soon as Zhou w.a.n.g sat down, he found a new pebble in his arms and handed it to Zhou w.a.n.g, “… Eat. “

She took it without changing face. She put the pebble in her mouth and tasted it carefully, “It"s very sweet. Thank you, G.o.dfather."

Qu Chi smiled gently and rubbed Zhou w.a.n.g"s hair.

Zhou w.a.n.g put her head sideways and let him rub it, but her expression was clear that an older child was pretending to be ignorant to amuse a younger ones.

Xu Xing Zhi leaned against the door wall and looked at them. He couldn"t help laughing.

Qu Chi"s age was unknown, but his intelligence was basically the same as that of a child. Zhou w.a.n.g was so harmonious with him that they did not look like father and daughter, but like an elder sister spoiling her ignorant younger brother.

Tao Xian came to them, bent down and asked something. He put his linen robe on Qu Chi and said, “Don"t catch a cold.”

Qu Chi sat down with Tao Xian and insisted on recommending his "candy", “Candy, please.”

Tao Xian earnestly coaxed him, “Qu Shixiong, too many candies will hurt the teeth.”

Qu Chi bulged his cheeks and said, “Why?”

Tao Xian coaxed him, “If I could go out later, I would invite Qu Shixiong to eat a lot of candies. Also I will invite you to eat Tanghulu.”

Que Chi became interested, “What is Tanghulu?”

Tao Xian patiently explained, “It"s a kind of food that children like to eat. It"s made from hawthorn, both sweet and sour. Shixiong will certainly like it.”

Qu Chi grabbed a handful of small stones from his pocket and said to himself, “I know what sweet is. The taste of this is called "sweet". But what is "sour"?"

Tao Xian couldn"t laugh nor cry. Zhou w.a.n.g was curious to listen.

She was born in the wilderness and did not know what it was like to be hot, sweet or sour.

Xu Xing Zhi listened to this childish dialogue for a while and looked up again.

Lu Yu Jiu sat in a daze on the eaves of the third floor of the tower, hanging down one leg. On his side stood a wooden panpipe.

Zhou Bei Nan sat a little higher than him, idling around. He threw his ghost spear as a dart down to the ground, then drove his spirit and took it back again and again.

He"s obviously a good Touhu player. Even tens of meters apart, every shot could be accurately plunged into the last landing point.

Skeleton Girl was at the bank of the stream. She was back to them, washing their clothes.

She looked so fragile. But having seen her appearance for so long, it was not scary anymore.

What"s more, she seemed to be a melodic person. She was singing while washing, and the tune of the song was not sad, but rather happy.

Lu Yu Jiu picked up the panpipe and played with her.

Xu Xing Zhi saw these, feeling unprecedented peaceful.

The first three days after he came to the wilderness, he might be too tired and burdened. He had nightmares everyday. Every time he woke up, he was sore and feverish. The third time he woke up, he even had a fever.

When Yuan Ru Zhou came to see him, he could not say that he had many strange dreams, but just said that he caught a cold.

After these days laying in bed, he combed his thoughts which had not been sorted out since he entered the wilderness.

… First, why was he still disabled after coming into this world?

Did the “Knowledge of the World” take into account that after more than ten years of disability, he was not used to his right hand at all, for fear of revealing the secret in front of this group of people, so that he cut off the original master"s hand to bring him convenience?

If so, the “Knowledge of the World” was really meticulous.

Second, why did these people steal artifacts? And why did they fail?

The original owner"s memory provided by the "Knowledge of The World" was fragmented. The hidden memory of the original owner had disappeared for a few days. Xu Xing Zhi tried to find Animal Hide Man to ask him the truth, but he was still seriously injured and unconscious and could not tell anything.

After his test, Zhou w.a.n.g also knew nothing happened that year.

Everyone except Zhou w.a.n.g was the witness of the incident. However, if Xu Xing Zhi asked them, he would be doubted. If his ident.i.ty was exposed, it would be over.

However, Xu Xing Zhi couldn"t really see why these people were bad after getting along with each other these days.

A few days ago, they hit the criminals who came to the Sealed Mountain seriously. The b.l.o.o.d.y smell was said to have drifted ten miles away. It sounded cruel. But in this wilderness, it was just the law of the jungle.

In the wilderness, there was a shortage of resources, and the distance between the Sealed Mountain and the HighTower was very close. They were all located in the central area of the wilderness, and naturally there were many disagreements. Moreover, the people of the Sealed Mountain loved to commit crimes when Meng Zhong Guang was away, hoping to kill one or two of the seven and to cut off the wings of Meng Zhong Guang.

Before his arrival, Meng Zhong Guang devoted himself to finding the original owner. He went out for less than ten days and more than a month. Of course, he would not care much about it. It was afraid that in his opinion, this group of mob from the Sealed Mountain were just a group of moths, not worth worrying about.

Even if they were repeatedly attacked and disturbed, this group of people did not once take the initiative to counter-attack the Sealed Mountain. Only if they were defeated, that"s enough.

Xu Xing Zhi pondered, and did not know why such a group of people wanted artifacts.

Zhou Bei Nan, the eldest son of the owner of Ying Tianchuan Island, was able to inherit the artifacts fairly without accident.

Qu Chi was the first disciple of Danyang Peak before. Even if someone took advantage of him after he lost his mind, would a fool be ent.i.tled to touch the core of the mystery of artifacts?

Lu Yu Jiu appeared in Xu Xing Zhi"s memory. At that time, he was still a little outside disciple of Qingliang Valley, but he was quite a faithful boy.

Skeleton Girl Yuan Ru Zhou did not look like an ambitious person. Tao Xian was a mortal who just joined Danyang Peak. As for Zhou w.a.n.g, she was born in the wilderness. She didn"t even know the history of compet.i.ting for artifacts.

In this way, Meng Zhong Guang seems to be the only one among them who made Xu Xing Zhi feel disconcerted.

However, Meng Zhong Guang"s first visit to Fengling Mountain was not as premeditated as the memory of the original master. They just met at the sacrifice ceremony for Eastern Emperor. How could Meng Zhong Guang be sure that the original owner would take him back to the mountain?

Xu Xing Zhi couldn"t figure out these problems, so he had to put them aside for the time being.

Third, must Meng Zhong Guang be killed?

He didn"t work hard on this problem at first, but since he failed in two a.s.sa.s.sinations, Xu Xing Zhi began to look for other ways out.

If Meng Zhong Guang could get out of the wilderness and be as secure as he was in the wilderness without causing trouble, then why not help him out?

Besides, Meng Zhong Guang"s magic power was so unpredictable as powerful as the deep sea that even the “Knowledge of the World” couldn"t wipe him easily. So, it might be better to state his identify and tell him that he was an outsider of the world who knew the truth of the world and could help him out of the wilderness. When Meng Zhong Guang escaped, let him learn the “Knowledge of the World”. So that he could return himself to the original world, couldn"t he?

… If the “Knowledge of the World” knew that he had such an idea, he might be unable to help vomiting blood.

But Xu Xing Zhi just wanted to think about it.

It"s hard for him to imagine that what if he told the truth and said that he was not Xu Xing Zhi, but just used the face of the original owner, and the real Xu Xing Zhi had already died in the outside world. Meng Zhong Guang might immediately start to send himself to death, and he would never see his father and sister again.

Considering his family, Xu Xing Zhi became more distracted until a warm embrace locked him tightly from behind.

“What is Shixiong looking at?” Meng Zhong Guang wrapped himself up from behind and laid his slightly pointed chin on his shoulder, "…Let me see it as well."

Xu Wu Tong, Xu Xing Zhi"s younger sister, also liked to be entangled with him in this way, so Xu Xing Zhi, who was accustomed to it, didn"t feel uncomfortable.

The spoiled children in the world are mostly like Ivy around trees. It seems that only entanglement was the way to express their love.

With that in mind, he answered, “Nothing, just thinking that the wilderness has neither sun nor moon nor stars. It"s a bit dull and dusty.”

Meng Zhong Guang asked, “Does Shixiong want to see stars?”

Xu Xing Zhi said, “No, just a sigh.”

Finally, he added casually, “Only Wen Bai Mao likes the elegant thing of watching stars and watching the moon.”

As soon as he spoke, he was shocked.

That sentence just came out of his mouth without any consideration.

… Maybe it"s the physical reaction of the original owner?

Now, another missing suspicion emerged in Xu Xing Zhi"s mind.

… Among the four families, Xu Xing Zhi, Qu Chi from Danyang Peak, and Zhou Bei Nan from Ying Tianchuan were already in the wilderness. However, Wen Bai Mao and Wen Xue Chen, the most honest man who disgusted immorality heavily seemed to have never been mentioned by anyone.

When he was thinking, Zhou Bei Nan, sitting at a high place, once again took ghost spear in his palm, but no longer threw it in the place.

The spear came out like a dragon, cutting the airflow and setting off a sharp buzzing. It pinned accurately into a bunch of reeds dozens of meters away.

There came a sad scream. Blood flowed and splashed.

Xu Xing Zhi was shocked and looked up.

Naturally, the speed of ghost walking was not comparable to that of ordinary people. Zhou Bei Nan, who was sitting on the eaves, came to the reeds in an instant and dragged a corpse out of them.

The clothes on the body were exactly the same as those on Meng Zhong Guang. White cloud robe and hemp headcloth.

Zhou Bei Nan"s shot did not mean to kill him. It only penetrated his calf and nailed him to the ground. But the man was dead, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Bei Nan opened his mouth and half of the tongue fell out.

Xu Xing Zhi was scared by such a b.l.o.o.d.y scene with naked eyes. He could only see some clues from the person"s clothes.

Que Chi also asked Tao Xian curiously, “Are people of Fengling Mountain coming? If so, I"ll invite them to eat candies.”

Tao Xian, “Shh, Shh.”

Meng Zhong Guang pushed Xu Xing Zhi"s shoulder, “Shixiong, you go into the tower. Jiu Zhi Deng"s men are here.”

Xu Xing Zhi was surprised, “What are they doing here?”

“As long as we live in the wilderness, they will come at any time.” Meng Zhong Guang said this in a very weak tone. But when he looked back at Xu Xing Zhi, the tenderness in his eyes still seemed to melt away. “Shixiong, go in quickly. If you get hurt in a fight later, it won"t be fun.”

Xu Xing Zhi didn"t talk much nonsense either. He said “Be careful” and turned into the tower.

In fact, he was still worried about his blurting words, his head became heavy, and some broken pictures surged in front of his eyes.

… The memory of the original owner has once again come to light.

If he continued to stand here, he was afraid that he would repeat the same mistake and become dizzy and confused.

After Xu Xing Zhi entered the tower, the goodwill and gentleness on Meng Zhong Guang"s surface disappeared.

Zhou Bei Nan dragged the corpse to him, “… He died, and killed himself by biting his tongue.”

“Jiu Zhi Deng seems to have told them.” Meng Zhong Guang laughed bitterly. ‘These people dare not fall into my hands alive.

Zhou Bei Nan looked around. “Maybe someone else is watching. What should we do?”

“Find them out one by one.” Meng Zhong Guang ordered, “When you find them, just like before, peel off their clothes and skin.”

Yuan Ru Zhou, who was washing by the stream, was nearest to the watcher.

She followed the bloodstains, fumbled among the reeds for a while, and picked up a mirror.

She only looked at the mirror for a moment, then her face changed greatly, and the mirror was smashed to pieces.

Yuan Ru Zhou walked back to the tower with a broken mirror and handed it to Meng Zhong Guang. “Look, Shidi, this was Lingzhao Mirror. Everything that Lingzhao Mirror shines on can be communicated with other mirrors.”

Zhou Bei Nan turned to Meng Zhong Guang, “… was this detective sent by Jiu Zhi Deng coming to spy on whether Xing Zhi kills you?

Meng Zhong Guang smiled at the broken mirrors and said, “Throw away this broken mirror… Shixiong and I are spending a good time in the wilderness. How could he kill me?

On the other side of Lingzhao Mirror .

A disciple withFengling Mountain uniform held Lingzhao Mirror in hand and knelt in front of a man, dared not speak.

The scene reflected in the mirror was fragmented. Meng Zhong Guang"s face was reflected in it, with several reflections and broken voice, but it can still be recognized, “… Shixiong and I… spending a good time… How could he kill…”

The white cloud robe in front of the mirror was Jiu Zhi Deng.

Jiu Zhi Deng"s cold eyes were full of anger. When he heard this sentence, the volume in his hand was thrown out at once.

The cosmetic crystal silver vase on the side burst apart, the branches rolled down and the water splashed all over the floor.

The disciple fl.u.s.tered his hands and feet. He crawled on the ground and dared not speak.

“Call Wen Xue Chen.” After a while, Jiu Zhi Deng"s cool voice came from above. His anger sounded invisible, “I want him to try to bring Shixiong out of the wilderness.”

The disciple answered yes terrifiedly. When he got up, he inadvertently looked at the place where Jiu Zhi Deng was sitting, feeling horrified.

—— Jiu Zhi Deng"s table was originally made of millenniold aloes. Now, five deep fresh fingerprints were on it, ugly and terrible.
