"They are all ordinary disciples from the outer area. The Shi family brothers, Jiang Yue'er, Cheng Ruofei, and that Lin Xin all just joined temporarily. There should be no changes."
"Where is Ouyang Qing?" Kong Yuhui asked lightly.
"Ouyang Qing took the initiative to join your team this time. I'm afraid he is suspicious, or maybe he wants a share of the pie." The man whispered.
"The others are pretty simple, mainly Ouyang Qing." Kong Yuhui said with a hint of gloom at the corner of his mouth, "I can't see through her."
"Young master, don't worry. No matter how powerful she is, can she escape from our grasp?" The man behind him sneered.
Kong Yuhui nodded.
"No matter what trump card she has, when the mission deadline is up, life or death will depend on their luck... Well, it's getting late. You ask Ade and the others to leave and don't stay at the intersection to avoid being discovered."
"Understood." The man quickly left from behind Kong Yuhui.
Kong Yuhui also stood up, packed his clothes, and seemed ready to leave.
Lin Xin hid in the grass at the bottom of the slope, huddled behind a stone tablet and remained motionless.
It could be seen from the other party's tone that Kong Yuhui was not alone this time.
After Kong Yuhui left completely, Lin Xin stayed for more than ten minutes. The red mist completely dissipated and the sky turned slightly white, then he got up and returned to the house quickly and vigilantly.
He carefully returned to the room, closed the door, and quickly scraped off the mud from the soles of his shoes. Then he meditated and adjusted his breath.
The sky is getting brighter and brighter.
There was a creak in the room on the right, as if the door had opened, and then there was the sound of Ouyang Qing's footsteps walking out.
"Sister Ouyang." The voice seemed to be that of Cheng Ruofei.
"What's wrong, Junior Sister Cheng?" Ouyang Qing's voice still showed a trace of laziness.
"Is there any place where I can take a bath nearby? I can only wipe my body with water for more than half a month, and my whole body is covered in sweat. Sister Jiang Yue and I can't stand it anymore." Cheng Ruofei asked helplessly.
"Bath... I've been here twice, and there is actually a place to take a bath." Ouyang Qing was also a little moved, "I'll take you there later."
"Well, thank you sister."
"You're welcome."
Lin Xin knew that several people were up, and he still had something to ask Ouyang Qing, so he got out of bed, casually smoothed his long hair, opened the door and walked out.
Ouyang Qing is in the corridor on the right, wearing a long emerald green coat, long sleeves and trousers, still wearing a white veil, holding a long sword upside down in his hand, the sword is not out of the sheath, and the entire scabbard is a light green.
"Junior Brother Lin." Ouyang Qing glanced at Lin Xin and frowned slightly.
"Senior Sister Ouyang, last night..." Lin Xin looked around and lowered his voice, "Last night you told me about the Yin Blood Bird..." He focused on the word "Yin Blood".
accent.
Ouyang Qing looked confused.
"Last night? Did I meet you last night? I adjusted my breathing very early and went to bed."
Lin Xin was slightly stunned.
"Obviously it was Ouyang Qing who told him last night that the Yin blood energy has the effect of accelerating his spiritual practice. Why now..."
He stared at Ouyang Qing's beautiful eyes carefully, and indeed he did not see anything wrong in the other person's eyes, but some were just confused.
Maybe she didn't want to mention it at this time, he guessed.
"Really? Maybe I remembered it wrong..." Lin Xin took a breath and said calmly.
Ouyang Qing still nodded doubtfully, greeted Lin Xin, and went directly to the carriage to fetch water from the wooden basin, preparing to go back to the room to wash up.
Lin Xin took out his wooden basin from the carriage, took some water, and returned to his room. After washing up, he came out with the water and was about to pour it into the pond.
ah!!!
Suddenly there was a scream. It seemed to be Jiang Yue'er's.
Lin Xin quickly put down the wooden basin and ran in the direction of the sound. At the same time, the door of Ouyang Qing's room behind him opened. Ouyang Qing took a few steps, surpassing Lin Xin and rushed to the front.
The two of them turned a corner along the corridor and came to Jiang Yu'er and Cheng Ruofei's room.
Jiang Yu'er was wearing a white dress, her long hair seemed to be only half braided, and she was holding a jade hairpin in her hand that she hadn't inserted yet. Instead, she just stood on the side covering her mouth and yelling.
Cheng Ruofei's face turned pale, and she looked into the room with the door open, holding the sword tightly in her hand, so nervous that she might stab it out at any time.
"What's going on!?" Kong Yuhui ran from another place and arrived almost at the same time as Lin Xin.
Lin Xin walked to the door of the room in a few steps and looked inside.
I saw a person lying on the bed inside. Shi Lei, the brother of the Shi family, was standing beside him with a blue face. The upper part of his sword was broken directly. He was staring at the person on the bed.
The person on the bed was none other than Shi Kun. This young man, who was only twenty years old, was lying on his back on the bed. His own long sword was thrust straight into his forehead, and then penetrated from under the bed board.
Shi Kun's eyes remained open and open.
"Shi Kun...is dead?!" Lin Xin's heart sank.
Kong Yuhui quickly walked up to Shi Kun, his face indescribably gloomy. He opened Shi Kun's chest clothes and exposed the skin underneath.
There was a clear horizontal wound inside. The bright red wound was like a child's mouth, slightly swollen and everted.
"I've been dead for a day!" Kong Yuhui said coldly.
Shi Lei couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes, and his lips were trembling.
"I didn't see my brother yesterday...after we left yesterday morning. I thought he had gone out to study. Unexpectedly, when we came together this morning, I saw him lying next to me with his head..."
After saying this, he burst into tears, his body was shaking, and he was very excited.
"Yesterday morning..." Kong Yuhui's eyes became colder and colder, "The fatal part is the sword wound, but it is not a trace of our red pine swordsmanship..."
"Do you think my fellow Taoist disciples of the Jinyu Sect did it?"
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and four Taoist priests in Taoist costumes appeared outside.
These four people were dressed in white Taoist robes with a golden crescent moon symbol on their chests. Their long swords were all white, with a thin gold pattern on the hilt. They looked extremely gorgeous.
"Fellow Taoists from the Jinyu Sect, I never said it was you. Could it be that you are guilty?" Kong Yuhui looked over coldly, as if he had known the other party was coming.
The leading Taoist priest had a calm face and his white beard was slightly fluttering in the wind. He looked like a Taoist master.
"It turns out to be Junior Brother Kong Yuhui. We said goodbye last time, but I didn't expect to meet here again."
"Senior Brother Zhou Jingzhou, my Songlin disciple died here for no apparent reason. He was still injured by your Jinyu Sect sword. You have to give me an explanation, right?" Kong Yuhui straightened up and spoke with a cold tone.
Shi Lei also clenched the hilt of his sword. When he heard this, he immediately turned around and stared at Jin Yuzong and others.
"What do you mean? Do you think that our Jinyu Sect killed your people?!" Another middle-aged Taoist priest next to Taoist Zhou Jing couldn't help but drink loudly.
"You know whether it's you or not." Ouyang Qing also stood up and stared at each other side by side with Kong Yuhui.
Cheng Ruofei, Jiang Yue'er, and Lin Xinshi Lei all stood behind the two of them, staring at each other coldly.
However, even though Lin Xin made this gesture, he was always wary of Kong Yuhui. Judging from the previous conversation in Lin Zhong, it seemed that Kong Yuhui had some other conspiracy here.
"Everyone is here for the Yin Blood Bird. The death of the disciple of your sect was not caused by us..." Zhou Jing said calmly, "Junior Brother Kong, Junior Sister Ouyang, what do you think?"
He asked a bit baffled.
Sure enough, Kong Yuhui and Ouyang Qing had a slightly strange look in their eyes.
"I don't care, you killed my brother, I want you to pay for it with your life!!" Shi Lei couldn't hold back anymore, roared, and stabbed Zhou Jing with his long sword.
When he shook his sword and shook his hand, it was as if a bit of white light was floating towards Zhou Jing like petals, with no pattern at all.
"Yu Gui swordsmanship? It's a pity that he only has one level of internal strength cultivation." Zhou Jing's face was expressionless, and he raised his hand and struck out with a sword.
With a bang, the side of his sword hit the side of the white petals, making a muffled sound.
Shi Lei grunted, and was hit so hard that he fell to the right side. He covered his chest and tried to get up again, but he couldn't catch his breath for a while and couldn't get up.
Zhou Jing's eyes were slightly closed and he glanced at Kong Yuhui and Ouyang Qing. It was obvious that these two people were the ones he was really afraid of.
"When I came here this time, I took on a bodyguard mission and brought some ordinary people to pay homage. I also asked fellow Taoists of the Sword Sect to pay more attention. We will also help find out the murder of your disciples."
Kong Yuhui and Ouyang Qing exchanged glances.
"Then thank you, Senior Brother Zhou." Kong Yuhui said, as if both of them were sure that it was unlikely to be Zhou Jing.
Zhou Jing nodded and left with the Jinyu Sect people. But he did not go far, but went to another bedroom area of the house. Apparently he planned to stay here.
Lin Xin watched the other party walk away completely, feeling something was wrong in his heart.
The face I met on the first night, the weird Ouyang Qing I met last night, and Kong Yuhui who seemed to have an agenda.
There seems to be a very troublesome conspiracy hidden here.
He felt as if he was involved in something troublesome.
"We are also very sorry that Junior Brother Shi Kun was brutally murdered, but it was definitely not the fault of someone from the Jinyu Sect. Junior Brother Shi Lei, my condolences." Kong Yuhui shook his head, glanced at Shi Lei who was still on the ground and walked out of the room.
Cheng Ruofei walked over and comforted Shi Lei in a low voice, while Ouyang Qing stood there thoughtfully.
Jiang Yue'er's face was still pale and she seemed a little scared.
Lin Xin clenched the hilt of his sword and looked around. Except for Jiang Yue'er and Cheng Ruofei, whose goals seemed to be the simplest, everyone else had their own agendas, making it difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
Shi Kun was the second-level Xiao Guiyuan Jue, and he practiced the Hanxing Sword Technique in the Sword Sect, which was stronger than the Red Pine Sword Technique, yet he was killed here silently.
"Jiang Yue'er took her close friends to join this mission simply because she liked Kong Yuhui. Their purpose here is the simplest. Maybe they can form an alliance with them."
As soon as this thought came to Lin Xin's mind, he saw Cheng Ruofei stand up and look towards him. There was also a similar look in his eyes.
How about we talk?
Lin Xin understood the other person's eyes and nodded slightly.
