Aware of Wei Shu's gaze, Zhou Shang also felt that his appearance was not appropriate. He hurriedly raised his sleeves to wipe his face, and then dusted his robe. His attitude was very earnest, as if he wanted to maintain enough etiquette in front of Wei Shu, even in this hall.

Just the two of them, no third pair of eyes.

Pretending? Playing? Wanting something? Or...has another agenda?

What is the relationship between Aqisi and him?

Wei Shu was filled with doubts in her heart.

However, in the deepest part of his memory, Aqisi didn't seem to be surprised by this, just as it was the same when the two of them got along.

"I'll help the girl out."

After everything was sorted out, Zhou Shang took two steps forward, naturally helped Wei Shu to stand up, and walked slowly out of the hall.

Wei Shu actually didn't want to leave at all.

She was still thinking about the two corpses in the backyard, but at this moment the situation forced her to leave, and she had to think of one question immediately:

Should we point out that there is a dead person under the well right now, or should we wait until later?

Hesitation only lasted for a moment, but soon Wei Shu had a plan:

Let’s talk about it later.

Compared to making it clear on the spot, the latter is obviously safer. This is not because she was lucky and hoped that Zhou Shang would not see the body, but because she is in a very unfavorable situation now and speaking rashly is taking a risk.

.

Talk less, do more, read more, do everything possible to delay the time, remember more about the local customs, people, relatives and friends, so that you can make fewer mistakes when you have to speak.

While Wei Shu was thinking about it, Zhou Shang had already led her along the decaying eaves to the small mountain gate. Then, he stopped suddenly and bowed slightly towards Wei Shu:

"All the girl's things are here. I just saw these things and guessed that the girl was taking shelter here from the rain. When I came in to look, I found the girl."

Wei Shu followed his gaze and looked out.

In the corner outside the mountain gate, there are several things neatly placed: a folded green cloth oil umbrella, a pair of wooden clogs, and a bamboo basket covered with oil cloth.

It was raining and windy last night, and the oilcloth on the basket was rolled up at a corner, and it was empty, showing that there was nothing in it.

Is this...Aqisi's?

The inexplicable feeling of familiarity came over her again. Wei Shu walked over, put on her clogs and tied the laces.

Sure enough, it was just the right size, and it really belonged to Aqisi. The oil umbrella and bamboo basket must have been placed there specially by her.

Thinking of this, a fragment from yesterday suddenly appeared in Wei Shu's mind:

Aqisi rushed to the mountain temple in the heavy rain, placed a few things on hand here, and then broke into the main hall...

No, it's not her first time here!

The pages of the book in the darkness suddenly turned quickly, and a picture scroll appeared in front of me:

A girl in a green skirt wandered in front of the small mountain gate; a girl in black clothes patrolled the main hall late at night; a slender figure in a white skirt floated like a ghost, scaring passers-by and screamed and fled; at dawn in the snow, everything was silent,

The girl's body is like a flying swallow, flying across the roof of the mountain temple...

Haunted, bad luck, there are monsters in the mountain temple... There are more and more rumors in the market, and the mountain temple is gradually deserted, and finally abandoned, and the memories like a revolving lantern also stopped at this moment, and transformed into the last moment:

In the heavy rain, the girl jumped into the hall like an arrow. Her flying skirt and the sound of the hidden weapon piercing the air obscured her action of throwing the sword.

She chose a perfect angle, and the beams and pillars of the hall, the stones and crumbling statues, and even the wind and rain outside the window were all her protection.

Aqisi did it on purpose.

Wei Shu suddenly realized something.

The girl frequently appears here, pretending to be a ghost and scaring passers-by, gradually making the entrance of the mountain temple deserted and the streets deserted, in order to make this place the favorite place for her and other people like her:

A perfect place to kill people and dump their corpses, which is inaccessible and quiet in the bustle, where you can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat.

This is a plan that the girl has set up for a year or more, in order to lead the opponent who may be chasing her into a place of death where the opponent thinks he has a certain chance of winning.

Yesterday's jump through the window was the result of countless rehearsals after Aqisi piled up mud, moved the statue, adjusted the angle.

It's a pity that the girl calculated everything accurately, but she only missed the opponent's soaring internal strength.

I originally thought that with my strong skills and soft armor, I could survive the opponent's blow and then use the "Hidden Edge" skill to kill the opponent, but unexpectedly I was killed directly.

As the saying goes, God's calculations are not as good as those of man. If that ray of fragrant soul knew something under the spring, what would it think at this time?

Wei Shu's thoughts gradually drifted away, and soon, a name with a strong Jianghu flavor jumped into her mind:

"Seven Kills to Seal the Pulse"

Yes, Gouba must have used this technique to increase his internal strength.

In Aqisi's memory, the other party had obtained this secret book a long time ago.

This is a technique that blocks retrograde meridians and then blocks them to temporarily enhance the skill. Each time one meridian is blocked, the skill will be increased by 10%. If all seven meridians are blocked, the skill will be doubled.

However, this technique has a fatal weakness, that is, the pulse must be opened immediately after the move is performed, otherwise you will die or go crazy, and this requires at least ten breaths of effort.

In other words, if the Seven Kills Pulse Sealing Technique misses a single hit, it is tantamount to giving one's life to others.

It is precisely for this reason that the "Seven Kills Sealing Pulse Jue" has a bad reputation in the world, and many people regard it as a crooked way.

Since Gou Ba did not make another move for a long time after the successful sneak attack, he must have been opening his pulse. If not, even if Wei Shu came back to life, she would still die at his hands.

Is this also God’s will?

"Come on, Miss Aqi, let me hold the umbrella for you." Zhou Shang's voice rang out.

When Wei Shu's head was darkened, she raised her eyes and saw that the green umbrella looked like an open lotus leaf. The surface of the umbrella was slightly tilted. Most of Zhou Shang's body was outside the umbrella, as if he was serving him attentively.

Wei Shu remained calm, raised her hand to lightly brush her hair, and glanced at the mechanism on the umbrella handle, slightly curious.

There were also canopy umbrellas in the Liang Dynasty, which were often used in palace ceremonials. However, the umbrella surface could only be opened and not closed, and it was much larger than this. Now this umbrella is not only light and compact, but can also be retracted and retracted freely.

It's also quite interesting.

From this point of view, it seems that this foreign land, a foreign country, is not completely barbaric and chaotic, but it does have some merits.

Wei Shu brushed her sleeves, which were not wide, and lowered her eyebrows to straighten her skirt.

Zhou Shang gave her a strange look.

For some reason, when he raised the umbrella high, the girl in front of him looked so natural and calm, which made him think "I should serve her", which was very strange.

Zhou Shang frowned and then relaxed his eyebrows. Wei Shu also took care of her clothes and turned to look over.

The two people, each with their own thoughts in mind, looked at each other and smiled. One cautiously held up an umbrella, and the other half-pushed and half-walked slowly out of the temple gate.
