>>It was getting late, and the gate of Yangyuan City was about to be closed. But at this moment, the soldiers guarding the gate saw a figure in the distance, and walked towards the gate slowly and unhurriedly. If

Under normal circumstances, this soldier doesn't care who it is. When the time comes, the door must be closed on time. If someone doesn't have time to enter the city, then I'm sorry and have to come back tomorrow. Of course, if someone of high status arrives, it is okay to open the city gate once.

Especially the cultivators who come from time to time, he cannot afford to offend. Although most of those cultivators come and go, after all, there are still monks who come through the door.

Looking at the figure slowly walking in the distance, the soldier frowned and chose to wait for a while. From a distance, although this man was not dressed in gorgeous clothes, he walked with a certain air of dignity. Compared with usual

The monks who asked him to make an exception and open the city gate were actually the same. No! In other words, they were much better.

"This little brother! Please wait!"

The visitor smiled slightly and clasped his fists at the soldiers.

The guard guarding the gate was stunned for a moment, then quickly returned the greeting and said he didn't dare.

"What the hell! It's still early, so don't be in a hurry to close the door. There's no harm in waiting a little longer, sir."

The soldier chuckled and nodded to the visitor.

The man didn't say anything. He smiled slightly and took out a few ingots. He tossed them gently and fell into the soldier's arms. The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and looked into his arms.

After discovering that it was a few gold ingots, he was immediately pleasantly surprised. He just wanted to raise his head to thank the man, but at this time he could not see the figure of the man.

"It's true that people cannot be judged by their appearance. This young man with an unattractive appearance is actually a monk. Looking at his methods and demeanor, he looks like the master they say he is in the Qi Condensation Stage."

The soldier thought this in his mind, but he didn't know that his random guess was actually accurate.

The person who entered the city was none other than Xu Chenglin, who had come all the way from Baijia Village. It had been more than a month since he left Baijia Village. The reason why he came to Yangyuan City today was to take a rest and then

Go to Fengyuan Continent.

At this time, the main street of Yangyuan City was no longer lively. Xu Chenglin felt somewhat deserted walking on this street. After looking around, he walked directly to an inn. The inn was not too lively, with only one or two tables of people there.

As soon as Xu Chenglin walked into the inn while eating, a waiter came over.

"Sir, do you want to work in a hotel or stay in a hotel?"

The waiter bent slightly to show his respect for Xu Chenglin.

Smiling and nodding, Xu Chenglin said to the waiter.

"Eat first, and then leave me a room to go to bed."

"Okay! Please sit down for a moment! I'll make arrangements right away!"

After shouting something loudly, the waiter led Xu Chenglin to sit down at an empty table, and then trotted all the way upstairs. However, after a moment, the waiter hurriedly ran to the kitchen. Followed by a dozen

It was only time to rest, and he ran back in a hurry carrying a tray.

"Bacon, pineapple, tripe, cold dishes will be served to you first, hot dishes will come later..."

While holding the name of the dish, the waiter placed the dishes on the table. Then a glass of wine was placed on the table. The waiter smiled and left. Such a waiter is the most terrifying.

They serve it to you directly without asking you what to eat. If you have a good face, you won't say anything. If you feel that you can't use so much, you can also say something to them, and they will naturally take it away for you. If you don't say anything

If so, you will need to pay for these things whether you eat them or not. Of course, these methods of the inn are also based on who chooses the dishes. People with fierce faces will not do this, and people with disheveled clothes will not do this.

Drinkers don't do this.

Having been walking outside for many years, Xu Chenglin knew the twists and turns involved. But he didn't care too much about this matter. After all, it was just some gold and silver, which was not a rare thing to him. After eating, Xu Chenglin

Notified the waiter. Under his guidance, he found his room. After checking the room, Xu Chenglin casually placed a ban, and then lay on the bed and had a good sleep.

At three o'clock in the morning, Xu Chenglin was awakened by the sound outside. He rubbed his eyes, stretched out his hands and legs, and sat up from the bed. He snapped his fingers lightly, and the restrictions in the room were broken. As soon as Xu Chenglin opened the door, he

He walked out of the room. At this time, the lobby on the first floor of the inn was when the guests were dining. There were more than a dozen dining tables filled with guests. Seeing that there was no free space, Xu Chenglin simply leaned on the railing and listened to the conversation below.

The guests talked while eating.

If you want to inquire about information, there are two most suitable places. One is a restaurant, a tea house, and an inn, and the other is a brothel. Youdao is a place where intellectuals and talents gather in a brothel, merchants and gangsters walk on the streets, and the inns are mixed from all directions.

Traveling in a hurry is bound to cause worries, and life is full of different situations.

I wanted to hear some interesting stories about Yangyuan City, but after hearing this, Xu Chenglin suddenly frowned. He had encountered similar situations before, but it was more tragic at that time.

"Have you heard that there is some unrest in Yangyuan City these days?"

A big man in blue was speaking in a low voice to the man in green across from him. But what he called a low voice was just what he thought. In fact, the two people at the next table had heard what he said.

"What's wrong with this clear sky and white sun? Don't those monks who come and go claim to maintain the stability of the city?"

The young man at the next table raised his head slightly and asked the two men without hesitation. But before they could answer, the companion next to the young man pulled him and reminded him in a low voice.

"Keep your voice down and don't cause trouble."

People at this table

They looked at each other and asked no more questions. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a girl with a sword in her back clasped her fists at the two men and spoke loudly.

"Brothers, may I ask what happened in the city and how uneasy it is?"

The man in blue and the man in green looked at the girl with the sword, and at a glance they knew she was a chivalrous and righteous woman. After thinking for a moment, the man in blue gritted his teeth and said it.

"To be honest with this female hero, this matter is actually quite strange, and it seems to be related to certain people. If it is not necessary, it is best for the female hero to leave it alone."

As he said this, the man winked and pointed to the sky.

The girl carrying the sword thought for a moment and understood the meaning. She pointed to the sky. In the past, this gesture meant alluding to the imperial court. But now, this gesture alludes to the practitioners. Practitioners come high.

Go high, not just up there.

The girl carrying the sword pondered for a moment, and then smiled at the two of them. Then she picked up the wine bottle as if unintentionally, and gently sat on the table of the two big men. She raised her hand to fill the glasses for the two men. The girl carrying the sword

Then he spoke slowly.

"The two eldest brothers can just talk to me in a low voice. I'm just curious."

The two men looked at each other and hesitated for a moment before speaking. Although the girl with the sword asked them to whisper, their whispers were still heard by others. Because when they were talking, many people

He was listening quietly.

"The two of us just passed by a village a few days ago. Before we entered the village, we heard people crying and fighting. Seeing this situation, the two of us felt strange, so we entered the village carefully out of curiosity.

After this inquiry, I learned that many people in the village disappeared overnight. They disappeared without a trace, no one knew whether they were alive or dead, regardless of gender or age."

Hearing what happened, the girl with the sword frowned slightly. She exhaled and whispered.

"This thing is indeed strange, but it cannot be said to be uneasy. If a large number of people are missing, the local government will definitely intervene in the matter. If not, the local practitioners will also intervene in the matter."

The big man in blue waved his hand and directly interrupted what the girl was going to say next. He drank all the wine on the table, then took a deep breath and continued.

"That's true! But it's strange that the government didn't intervene in this matter, and the local practitioners kept the matter secret. Tell me, am I right? This Yangyuan City is beginning to feel uneasy.

If what I said is wrong, then the government and practitioners should intervene in this matter."

After hearing this, the girl with the sword behind her back frowned deeply. She slammed the table and made her voice a little loud.

"That's unreasonable! What does the government do for food? The same goes for local practitioners, but they actually ignore this matter. Practitioners should be compassionate and compassionate for heaven, so how can they sit back and watch people disappear for no reason without taking care of it."

The two big men were startled when they saw the girl carrying a sword doing this. After seeing this, the rest of the people who were listening also diverted their attention and pretended not to hear what the girl was doing.

"Don't get angry, heroine, or you'll get into trouble with your mouth!"

The big man in blue frowned slightly and whispered something. This time his voice was really low, as if he didn't want others to hear him.

After hearing the big man's warning, the girl with the sword nodded. But she still clenched her fist tightly and spoke in a low voice.

"That's unreasonable!"

Then she took a deep breath and smiled apologetically at the two big men.

"I would like to ask you two brothers, where is the village you are talking about? I am very curious and hope to have a look there."

After hearing the girl's question, the man in blue hesitated for a moment. He seemed to be afraid that if he mentioned the name of the place, he would hurt the girl. After a long time, the man in blue across from him said a tentative sentence.

"Brother, aren't we going to pass by there tomorrow? In my opinion, why don't we take this heroine for a walk?"

The big man in blue opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refuse. But before he could say anything, the girl snatched him away.

"This eldest brother has a good idea! Let's do it like this! The two eldest brothers should also live in this store, so I will pay for today's meals and drinks."

The girl made the decision quickly and seemed quite satisfied with her decision.

The two big men opened their mouths, but no words came out. From the looks of it, they wanted to refuse, but were too embarrassed to do so. The girl with the sword behind her was very happy, and the two big men looked at each other and laughed.

Xu Chenglin was just listening to a group of people talking upstairs at first, but after hearing half of it, he glanced at the people below. At this glance, Xu Chenglin suddenly discovered that the girl with the sword was a practitioner. Look at this girl

She seemed to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Although the long sword on her back had no leakage of spiritual energy, Xu Chenglin took a look and found that it was just a middle-grade magic weapon. As for the girl's cultivation, it was even more...

He could tell at a glance that the girl's cultivation was only at the sixth level of the body training stage.

Just as he was about to look away, Xu Chenglin suddenly felt that something was wrong. He stared at the two men and looked at them carefully again. The more he looked at them, the weirder they seemed. Xu Chenglin couldn't help but narrow his eyes and release his consciousness.

"This breath-condensing technique is really brilliant. If it wasn't for my extraordinary spiritual awareness, I might not be able to see it. These two guys are actually early-stage Qi-condensing monks."

With this thought in his mind, Xu Chenglin quickly withdrew his consciousness. Because he found that the two big men seemed to be aware of it. In fact, the two big men felt that something was wrong. They just felt that someone was watching them. But they turned around.

After turning around, I didn't find anything unusual. Although the young man upstairs was somewhat capable, they were not

No trace of spiritual power fluctuations was detected on his body. On the contrary, the girl with the sword in front of him had obvious spiritual power fluctuations. However, the girl's cultivation level was a bit low, and the two of them looked down upon her.

As time passed, someone finally left after eating. Seeing this, Xu Chenglin also slowly went downstairs to eat. After having dinner quietly, Xu Chenglin listened to the conversation of the guests for a while. Until the girl with the sword and the big man

After everyone went back to their rooms, Xu Chenglin returned to his room.

On the second day, the two big men and the girl with the sword left together. Xu Chenglin also checked out and left with the three of them. But what made him slightly embarrassed was that the two big men and the girl with the sword were both on horseback.

They left, and Xu Chenglin could only chase the two of them on foot. Fortunately, Xu Chenglin was a practitioner, so it was not easy to catch up with the horses.

The three horses were galloping all the way, the man in blue's horse ran at the front, the girl with the sword's horse ran behind, and the man in green's horse was closely behind. As for Xu Chenglin, he was not hasty and slow.

Hanging far away.

Looking at the combination of these three people, Xu Chenglin always had a strange feeling. He felt that the two big men seemed to be planning something, as if they were deliberately trying to seduce the girl. Or maybe their behavior in the inn was intentional.

Attract the monk's attention so that they can follow the two of them.

With this thought in his mind, Xu Chenglin released his consciousness to investigate the surrounding situation. He was afraid that if he was chasing the three of them, someone else would quietly follow him. Fortunately, after some investigation, no one was found.

.This also made Xu Chenglin feel a little relaxed despite being strange. Now his consciousness has been roughly restored. This is the best time for him to recover since the injury to Pure Land consciousness. He vaguely feels that it will not take long.

With time, his consciousness will be completely restored.

The girl carrying the sword gently injected a ray of spiritual energy into the horse she was riding. The horse suddenly ran a few minutes faster. In just a few breaths, she caught up with the man in blue. She turned her head and looked at the big man,

The girl shouted loudly.

"Brother! We have been running for several hours. I wonder how far we are from the village you mentioned?"

"Come on, come on! We're almost there!"

Facing the wind, the man in blue seemed to be afraid that the girl wouldn't hear, so he shouted loudly.

"Okay! Let's hurry up then!"

After hearing the answer from the man in blue, the girl replied and continued to speed up.

However, she didn't know that just as she was speeding up her horse, the man in green behind her started laughing. The smile was quite weird and had a vaguely chilling meaning.

The girl did not see the smile of the man in green, but Xu Chenglin, who was hanging the three people from a distance, saw this scene with his spiritual consciousness. At this time, he was not afraid of being noticed, because he was sure that none of the three people would know it at this time.

They were alerted to someone observing them with their spiritual consciousness. When they were riding fast, the wind in the eye affected their senses. How could they detect the slight touch brought by their spiritual consciousness? Moreover, Xu Chenglin's spiritual consciousness was already weak, so it was even more difficult.

Be noticed.

"Sure enough, there is something wrong with these two guys! But if what they say is true, I will have more work to do. But I just don't know if these two guys are related to those guys."

The three fast horses galloped for more than half an hour, and finally they stopped in front of a village. Seeing this, the girl immediately knew that they had arrived at the place they mentioned. Just when she wanted to clasp her fists to say thank you,

But he saw dozens of people rushing out of the village in front of him.

When the girl with the sword saw this, she immediately drew her long sword. She jumped up and wanted to jump off the horse, but at this moment, the man Lan Yi smiled and punched the horse that the girl was getting off. At the same time, the girl suddenly

He felt a strong wind coming from behind, hitting him on the back.

Although the cultivation level of the sixth level of body forging is not high, the girl's reflexes are very strong. As soon as she stepped on one side of her body, the girl flew out diagonally. The attack of the two early-stage Qi Condensation monks was actually

The horse dodged directly due to this dodge. The horse the girl was riding was more unlucky and was hit by a punch from the man in blue. It neighed and flew out directly. It fell in the distance and kicked its legs a few times.

Just die directly.

After turning around and landing on the ground, the girl with the sword behind her back glared fiercely at the two big men. Then looking at the group of people who quickly surrounded her, the girl finally understood what was going on.

"It's so shameless! You are actually in the same group. The dignified Qi Condensation monk actually hid his spiritual power in a trap to deceive me, a body-forging monk!"

The girl's eyes widened with anger, and she pointed her sword at the two men on horseback.

Hearing the girl's words, even the big man was slightly surprised. After looking at each other and smiling, he no longer concealed anything. The pressure belonging to the Qi Condensation monks was directly released. The pressure of the Qi Condensation stage can have an effect on the Body Forging stage monks.

, but the girl only got used to it after feeling slightly uncomfortable. It was obvious that this girl was often under the pressure of the Qi Condensing monks.

Taking a deep breath, the girl pointed her sword at the two of them. He raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly.

"Two shameless guys, could it be that what they said at the inn before was just to deceive me?"

The man in blue chuckled and did not answer. But the meaning was self-evident and it was indeed false.

After the girl heard this, she became slightly silent. She lowered her sword, as if she had lost resistance in the face of the two Qi Condensation monks.

Xu Chenglin, who was far away, saw this situation and became a monk. After thinking about it for a while, he roughly understood what was going on. It was two monks in the early stage of condensing Qi who led a group of people to infect the passing monks.

He took the opportunity to rob the monks who were passing by. As for killing people and grabbing treasures, or just asking for treasures, that is unknown. However, according to Xu Chenglin's speculation, the former is more likely. Otherwise, this matter would have been spread out long ago.
