"There's nothing to do today. Junior brother, you can do whatever you want, or you can just take a good rest in the room." Ouyang Qing whispered from the side.
"If junior brother discovers anything about Shi Lei, please inform us as soon as possible." Kong Yuhui let go of the man and said to Lin Xin helplessly.
"Okay senior brother." Lin Xin nodded and glanced at the young man who was being interrogated.
This man was in his early twenties, about the same age as him, and he probably didn't know anything about the tragedy in this town thirty years ago. After all, he wasn't even born yet.
It's just that there is an inexplicable meaning in this man's eyes, as if he didn't just come back for sacrifice.
After Kong Yuhui finished asking, Ouyang Qing also started to ask about this person.
Lin Xin stood for a while and listened to the two people's inquiries. He learned that the man's name was Song Zhen, a bookstore owner in a nearby town. This time he came with the wealthy businessman of the Song Dynasty who hired the Jinyu Sect and his party. He usually came here.
Every time I come here, I go home quickly and never spend the night here.
Seeing that he couldn't hear the content, Lin Xin simply went to the carriage to look for water. The large bucket was refilled with water, which was still warm and had obviously been obtained from nearby.
I remember Ouyang Qing mentioned that there seemed to be a spring nearby, perhaps hot spring water.
Lin Xin didn't think much and quickly picked up a basin of water and carried it back.
Kong Yuhui was still interrogating Song Zhen when he left, but in Lin Xin's opinion, this guy was just pretending. He had killed all the Shi family brothers to condense Yin blood, so his acting skills were pretty good at this time.
I just didn't see the Jinyu Sect group, and I don't know where they went. There was no movement at all.
In the next two days, nothing unexpected happened. Shi Lei seemed to be missing and could not be found no matter how hard he tried. Lin Xin simply kept moving with Jiang Yuer and Cheng Ruofei. The three of them were almost inseparable. He did not absorb the red mist at night.
Instead, he concentrated on resting in his room.
Finally, the day came when the Yin-blood Bird appeared.
***************
evening
Most of the sky has turned blue-black, and only the edge of the sky is still inlaid with a red and yellow colored edge.
Lin Xin slowly lowered his head and withdrew his gaze.
He was standing in the small courtyard where he lived. Cheng Ruofei and Jiang Yue'er were sparring with swords in the middle of the courtyard. Two figures, one green and one white, with fluttering skirts, were moving around, which was very pleasing to the eye.
But there was an obvious feeling of uneasiness on both of their faces, and their sword skills also made Wei Wei feel a little soft.
"Why can't you hear any sound? Didn't you say that we were hunting Yin-blooded Birds today?" Cheng Ruofei put away her sword and stood up straight, looking towards the stone arch of the courtyard with some confusion.
"Someone should come and notify us. Could it be...?"
"Sister Ruofei, I don't believe that senior brother would treat us like this... He doesn't look like that kind of person."
Jiang Yue'er bit her lip and whispered.
"Some people look different on the outside than they do on the inside." Cheng Ruofei sighed and whispered.
While the two were talking, Lin Xin frowned slightly, as if he vaguely heard something.
"Let's go. We must participate in completing the mission. It will be really troublesome if each of us cannot kill a Yin-Blooded Bird." Cheng Ruofei thought for a while, "As long as we stay in a crowded place, Kong Yuhui will not dare to do anything to us.
Sample!"
"Sister Ruofei, I don't believe that Senior Brother Kong is that kind of person. Please don't say such things again in the future." Jiang Yue'er frowned and looked unhappy. "I know him. He is gentle and polite to others. On the surface, he looks very nice.
He is indifferent, but he is actually a very gentle person at heart."
Cheng Ruofei was a little helpless.
"No matter what, let's go to the cemetery first."
"All right..."
Lin Xin also nodded.
The three of them quickly went back to their room to pack their things, cleared the yard together, and walked through the corridor, Lin Xin suddenly said.
"You guys should go to the cemetery first. Someone is probably waiting there," he said casually. "I forgot to bring something. I'll go back and get it."
He looked like he suddenly remembered something.
"Go back quickly, we'll wait for you while walking slowly." Cheng Ruofei nodded.
"Don't worry about him, let's go first, otherwise we will be in trouble if the Yin Blood Birds are gone and robbed!" Jiang Yue'er seemed to have returned to her original self, obviously not believing that Kong Yuhui would harm them.
"But..." Cheng Ruofei hesitated.
"Let's go, let's go." Jiang Yue'er urged.
"Go, you go first. I'll follow right away." Lin Xin also followed. He had other plans and naturally didn't want to be with the two of them.
"Oh well...."
Cheng Ruofei could only nod.
Lin Xinxin held down the hilt of his sword, turned around and walked towards the way he came from. He was about to pass through the arch when suddenly a clanking sound came from not far away.
He paused and turned back to look in the direction of the sound.
"It's the sound of weapons clashing." Before the two of them had gone far, Cheng Ruofei quickly turned around again.
The three of them exchanged glances.
"I'll go take a look! You guys hide first and wait for me to come back."
Lin Xin's eyes flickered and he suggested.
"No, it's safer for the three of us to be together." Cheng Ruofei shook his head.
"All right..."
"Did something happen to Brother Kong and the others?" Jiang Yue'er also looked nervous.
Without any nonsense, the three of them quickly hurried in the direction of the sound, walked through the corridor, turned left and entered a small door, and then passed through an empty house.
The house is gloomy, with a bronze statue in the middle, which seems to be a solemn and slender middle-aged man.
There is a small round arch door in the left corner of the yard. There seems to be a person standing at the door, leaning against the wall with his back to the three of them.
"This master..." Jiang Yue'er opened her mouth to call him out, but Cheng Ruofei, who was alert, immediately covered her mouth.
Shhh....
Cheng Ruofei looked solemnly, looked at the puzzled Jiang Yue'er, and pointed at the clothes on the man's back.
Jiang Yue'er looked carefully and was shocked to find that there was a large pool of red blood on the edge of the man's clothes. Moreover, the man's posture against the wall was also very twisted, as if he had no bones at all.
.
Cheng Ruofei winked at Lin Xin.
The two of them slowly approached the man together.
Until the distance where the tentacles could almost touch the man's back, the man actually didn't react at all.
The two of them had already had a premonition, and when they walked into the small door, they saw that this person was the disciple of the Jinyu Sect who had just arrived earlier. He was wearing the white golden moon robe of the Jinyu Sect. The golden moon on his chest.
The marks have been stained red with blood.
Jiang Yue'er, who was following behind, covered her mouth and looked at the male disciple of the Jinyu Sect who was still staring at death, with sweat stains on her forehead again.
Lin Xin's expression moved slightly, as if he heard another voice in front of him.
"Someone is talking in front."
He whispered.
Cheng Ruofei also heard a voice that seemed to be Kong Yuhui's.
She winked at Lin Xin, and took the lead in pulling Jiang Yue'er to move cautiously in the direction of the sound.
Lin Xin glanced at her back, tightened the hilt of his sword, and followed slowly.
The two girls were in front, and he was behind. They walked forward along the small door aisle, and the voices gradually became clearer. Several corpses were lying on the ground, including those from the Jinyu Sect and ordinary people they had brought.
The three of them were about to reach the end of the corridor, where there was a similar stone arch, which seemed to lead to a garden. There were overgrown weeds beside the door, and there seemed to be a rectangular white stone flower bed.
ah!
Suddenly, there was another scream from the front, which seemed to be someone struggling before death.
The two girls trembled, but they heard someone speaking again.
"As expected of the sanctimonious Senior Brother Zhou... he watched helplessly as his Junior Brother was being killed, yet he was actually indifferent." It was Kong Yuhui's voice.
"You are ruthless enough to dare to come here alone and secretly poison yourself, even using the priceless soul-destroying incense. You must have had a plan before you even set out, right?" Zhou Jing's voice was calm.
came. There seemed to be no mood swings.
"Senior brother, thank you." There was a trace of pride in Kong Yuhui's tone. "You let me kill all the junior brothers and sisters of the Jinyu Sect, wasn't it just for the sake of Yin Xue? You deliberately killed people from your own sect through the hands of others. Senior brother, you,
It’s not bad either…”
Zhou Jing sneered.
"Those people in your team must also be the Yin-blood materials you prepared, right?"
"What do you think?" Kong Yuhui laughed.
At this time, Cheng Ruofei was already numb all over and turned around to run away. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yue'er turned pale and held her hand tightly.
"I...want...to...see." She didn't make a sound, but spoke word by word to Cheng Ruofei.
She was unwilling and didn't believe that Senior Brother Kong, who had always been very kind to her and cold on the outside but gentle on the inside, could actually have such an unbearable and vicious mind.
She didn't believe it, so she wanted to see it with her own eyes.
"That person may not be Senior Brother Kong, it must be... someone must be impersonating him!" She murmured.
Cheng Ruofei looked at her pale face and couldn't help feeling a little distressed. After all, she still couldn't bear to refuse.
The two squatted down quietly, relying on the cover of weeds and clinging to the flower bed at the door, and slowly moved forward.
Lin Xin also squatted down behind him. Behind the two girls, he could see the situation in the yard through a small gap in the weeds.
In a messy garden, Zhou Jing stood in the middle and Kong Yuhui stood diagonally opposite to his left side.
Their faces were blocked and could not be seen clearly.
"The soul-taking incense can increase the burden of internal energy and affect the movement of internal energy, so that internal masters can only use two-thirds of their strength. Although it is not as simple as poison, it is worse than being invisible." Kong Yuhui chuckled. "Senior Brother Zhou, who is only two-thirds strong, was poisoned by his own junior sister. I wonder how he feels now?"
"Mood?" Zhou Jing snorted coldly, "Do you really think you will win?"
"Do you really think you can get out of this garden?" Kong Yuhui sneered. "My people have surrounded this town inside and out. Not even a fly can escape. What's more, there are people inside to stop it!
"
"Stop? Just you?" Zhou Jing also sneered, holding a sword in one hand and holding something tightly in the other, slinging it behind his back.
"Of course I'm not the only one." Kong Yuhui lowered his sword and pointed at the grass.
Jingle Bell....
A soft sound like wind chimes spread from his sword.
