When Yun Xi and the others returned to the shore with the corpses of the remaining six monster beasts, Guan Zhangshan still couldn't believe what he saw.
They spent several days to defend the city without any results, but these three students were all eliminated in just ten minutes?
It was only at this moment that they truly understood the value of the four words "Tian Ling Gao Wu". None of the students in it could interpret it in ordinary terms.
But what he didn't know was that if Yun Xi hadn't been traveling with Xia Qingyao and the others, it would have been impossible for them to kill those monsters underwater with their strength.
And if Yun Xi didn't have Yi Meng in her body to help suppress it, it would also be difficult for her to deal with the last two fish beasts.
All of this can be said to have come together by chance and destiny.
Yun Xi threw the corpse of the monster on the ground and said to Guan Zhangshan: "The monsters in the river have been dealt with, there are only twelve in total."
"...Oh okay, thank you very much!"
Guan Zhangshan was stunned for a while before he came to his senses.
He said: "Let's sort it out first and give you the printing paper later."
Only when it is confirmed that there are really no monsters in the river can this task be truly completed.
Yun Xi nodded. She was not in a hurry, and neither were Xia Qingyao or the others.
The city guard spent an hour going down to the river to check the area near Jiuyi River again to make sure there were no monsters left, and then came to Yun Xi.
"Thank you very much for your help. This is the mission paper."
"Thank you."
Yun Xi took the mission seal paper and handed it to Xia Qingyao. After being silent for a while, she said: "I want to go to Guyuan Village and have a look. Maybe I will find something else."
Li Zixiao glanced at her and said nothing.
Xia Qingyao thought for a while: "Yeah."
They all have to go.
Guan Zhangshan said: "Okay, if you need anything, you can contact us at any time."
So Yuancun and the others also checked, but there was no guarantee that Yunxi and the others would not resort to other means, so he did not dissuade him.
In fact, as long as the mission is completed, it is their own business what Yun Xi and the other three choose next, as long as they do not interfere with official duties and affect public order.
……
The moon is still high in the sky, and the wild white moonlight shines on the water, making the waves sparkling.
Yunxi and the others have already flown across the Jiuyi River and headed towards Guyuan Village.
There was a lot of noise in their fight with this group of monsters before, so many villagers in the original village were awakened. The lights were on in the houses closer to the river bank, and dark figures could be seen through the windows.
Yun Xi was walking on the village road. This is a big village. The village is not poor. There are cement houses everywhere and the roads are also made of cement. There are only a few brick houses and vast fields to highlight the fact that this is a village. p>
Yun Xi's spiritual consciousness spread out and observed the surroundings.
Of course she didn't come to investigate the reason for the monster's appearance, she just came to find the person who was prompted by the system mission.
‘The poor man whose husband is missing should not be difficult to find.’
Yun Xi walked to a brightly lit house and knocked on the door.
"Who?"
"Guardian, come here to ask something."
Yun Xi did not hesitate to use the city guard as his identity card.
"Okay, here we come!"
As soon as the other party heard that they were from the city guard, they immediately agreed.
Soon, the sound of shoes hitting the ground was heard. A mature woman wearing cotton pajamas opened the door and saw three people at the door.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then blurted out after a while: "Yun Xi?"
There are not many people in Tianling Continent who don’t know her.
Yun Xi smiled and said: "Hello, I am Yun Xi. I am temporarily serving as a consultant to the Moon Exploration City's defense army. I came here specifically to help deal with the monsters in Jiu Yihe."
The movement just now was so loud that the city guards guarding the entrance of the village even cheered loudly. She knew that the monster in the river seemed to have been dealt with.
But for the sake of peace of mind, I couldn't help but ask: "Has it been solved?"
Yun Xi said: "We have eliminated all the monsters. Now we just need to wait for the city guards to repair the bridge, and then you can go out."
The woman was overjoyed and quickly bowed to Yun Xi: "Thank you! Thank you!"
Yun Xi smiled and waved her hand: "This is just what I should do. I am here now to ask you some questions. Is it convenient for you now?"
"Convenient, of course convenient, please come inside."
"Thank you."
The woman invited Yun Xi and the others into the house. Footsteps were heard upstairs, and a child walked downstairs rubbing his eyes.
"Mom, is someone here?"
The woman knew that her son admired Yun Xi very much, and was afraid that he would be rude and offend him later, so she quickly said: "It's okay, go back to bed quickly, we have to go to class tomorrow!"
"Oh." The child continued back upstairs, and he didn't remember until he was almost at the door of the room.
If the bridge is broken, what class will he have? He hasn't had a class in a few days, and his mother actually used this to scare him. How stupid.
He climbed into bed happily, looking forward to tomorrow without classes.
After taking care of her son, the woman helped Yun Xi and the others pour hot water, and sat across from the three of them, her expression and posture looking very reserved.
"Um...do you have anything you want to ask?"
Yun Xi didn't do any ink and asked directly: "I would like to know if there have been any strange phenomena in Guyuan Village recently?"
"Strange phenomenon? No."
The woman answered quickly. If she wasn't prepared in advance, then the city guard had already asked this question before.
Yun Xi asked again: "Are you sure? Like missing people or something?"
"There are no missing persons... Oh, when you asked me, I remembered that Yuan Huan from the village went out for a long time a month ago and has not come back yet. I heard that he disappeared, but I am not sure."<
/p>
The woman was confused: "But Yuan Huan left a month ago, and what happened to Jiu Yihe only happened six days ago, so it shouldn't matter, right?"
Yun Xi said calmly: "Any tiny clue might play a big role. Can you tell me about Yuan Huan?"
The woman thought for a while and felt that there was nothing she could not say, so she said: "This Yuan Huan used to be a well-known honest man in the village. He cultivated several fields at home and lived with his wife on weekdays. However, I heard that her wife was raped two months ago.
A genetic disease was detected and the doctor said that I would have to live for a few years."
The woman recalled while saying: "Yuan Huan and his wife have a very good relationship. After hearing about this incident, he was very shocked and kept borrowing money to seek medical treatment. But this is the ending... A month has passed, and his wife's illness has not disappeared.
There was no improvement, and then he suddenly left a month ago, saying that he was looking for medicine. But..."
The woman curled her lips: "It's been a month and I haven't seen him. Maybe he escaped."
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows: "Do you know where he went?"
The woman shook her head: "I don't know about that. Her wife should know, but his wife has also disappeared in the past few days. I heard that she went out around the mountain road. If you go outside and look for her, you might be able to find her."<
/p>
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed something was wrong with the faces of the three people in front of her.
Xia Qingyao and Li Zixiao, who had always had dull faces, looked a little brighter.
The corners of Yun Xi's mouth twitched slightly: "Isn't the Yuan Huan's wife you are talking about called Zhang Ting?"
The woman's eyes widened: "How do you know?"
Yun Xi took a deep breath, and she was going to do twenty strokes now. Neither the Six Life Hall Master nor Jingwu Huma could even think of running away.
Just when Yun Xi was lamenting her incredible good fortune, the woman also reacted.
"Um...have you ever met her?"
'Not only did we meet her, I also saved her life...'
Yun Xi said: "On my way to explore the Moon City, I met her in the Qingheng Mountains. At that time, she was attacked by monsters."
"Oh my god!" The woman covered her mouth, her eyes horrified, but soon became full of sympathy, "She actually ran to such a dangerous place alone..."
She knew both Yuan Huan and his wife. She used to admire the couple very much, but since Yuan Huan disappeared, she has been very disappointed with Yuan Huan. This disappointment turned to Zhang Ting and turned into sympathy.
"She went to collect medicine. She probably wants to stay alive."
After sighing, Yun Xi patted her sleeves and stood up.
"Thank you for telling me, we won't disturb your rest."
The woman walked all the way to the gate: "Thank you very much for your kindness."
Black clouds covered the bright moon, and the three people disappeared into the dark night.
……
"I plan to investigate this Yuan Huan, do you want to come together?"
After leaving Guyuan Village, Yun Xi asked her two companions.
Before they answered, she added: "This is just a sudden inspiration on my part. There won't be any rewards from the school, so you don't have to go together."
Li Zixiao looked at her coldly, as if looking at an idiot.
When has she ever been greedy for rewards?
Xia Qingyao had no intention of leaving Yun Xi and going back, so she said, "Remember, roast leg of lamb."
Yun Xi knew that she could not persuade these two people anymore, so she had no intention of forcing them to go back, and went directly to the hotel where Zhang Ting was staying.
She should still be sleeping at this time, but Yun Xi is not in a hurry, and it will be okay to wait for her all night.
In the sea of consciousness, a dream's voice sounded. It was different from before. Now its voice seemed a little weak.
The previous attacks also caused some consumption on it. Although these consumptions are not large, for it as a soul body, no amount of consumption can be easily tolerated.
Yimeng asked: "Is this Yuan Huan related to this incident?"
Yuan Huan is just an ordinary person, and he has been missing for a month. To outsiders, it seems that he chose to betray his wife and fled this place after discovering that there was no way to cure her.
No one would connect such an ordinary person with the Jiu Yihe incident.
Of course Yun Xi won't either, but she needs an excuse.
"Who knows? It's always good to pay more attention."
Yimeng stopped talking and took the initiative to enter the purple seal.
It is not meant for confinement, but for rest and recovery.
When they arrived at the hotel, Zhang Ting was already asleep. Yun Xi did not disturb her, but went to the rooftop of the hotel and sat on the parapet.
Xia Qingyao and Li Zixiao sat next to her.
Yun Xi lowered his head, overlooking the city. It was already late at night, and occasionally vehicles passed by under the dim street lights. They were ordinary people who were working hard for their lives.
Once upon a time, Yun Xi was also such a person.
She closed her eyes and began to practice with concentration.
People always like to think wildly late at night or when they are alone. Those thoughts are actually meaningless and will only make them more sentimental.
I don’t know when Yun Xi started to hate this kind of behavior, so every time she started to have some meaningless thinking, she would close her eyes, calm down and start practicing seriously.
The spiritual veins circulated, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of dozens of miles surged like waves in an instant. A void tornado appeared under the moonlight, and at the end of the whirlpool was Yunxi.
The two people around her also started practicing and took a piece of the pie from Yun Xi.
……
……
When Yun Xi and the others finished practicing, Zhang Ting had also woken up. She was carrying a basket on her back and was about to go out to see what was going on at the Jiuyi River.
"Dong dong dong!"
The knock on the door came faster than she could move.
Zhang Ting walked to the door in confusion and opened the door.
Yun Xi and the others were standing outside the door.
Yun Xi looked at her who had packed her things and asked, "Is it convenient? I have something I want to ask."
Zhang Ting knows that she is Yun Xi, and she also knows that she is her savior, so she naturally has no reason to refuse.
She lowered her head, looked humble, and stepped aside to get out of the way.
The three of them walked into the house.
The hotel Guan Zhangshan arranged for Zhang Ting was very good. The room not only had a large bed, but also a sofa and a glass table.
Yun Xi and the others sat on the sofa and motioned for Zhang Ting to sit down as well.
Zhang Ting put down the basket on her back and carefully sat on the corner of the bed.
She crossed her legs, put her hands on her legs, and lowered her head, not daring to look at Yun Xi and the others.
Yun Xi sighed inwardly and asked, "Did you have a good rest last night?"
Zhang Ting didn't expect that Yun Xi would actually care about her. She was a little flattered and hurriedly replied: "Well. The bed here... is very soft."
"That's good. We have dealt with the monsters in Jiu Yihe. If nothing else happens, the city guards should be able to build a wooden bridge today. If you go out later, you may not have to wait.
”
Zhang Ting opened her eyes wide and was a little shocked. What the three of them could do in one night was something that the city guards failed to do? This was a bit unbelievable. But when she thought that the person in front of her was Yun Xi, she felt that it was natural.<
/p>
Ordinary people have no idea about the level of strength of spiritual cultivators. They only think that the greater their reputation, the greater their abilities.
She replied happily: "Okay, thank you."
"Yes." Yun Xi nodded and paused for a moment before entering the topic, "I heard that your husband's name is Yuan Huan."
The topic was suddenly changed. Zhang Ting was stunned for a moment, and then whispered back: "...Yes."
Yun Xi continued: "I heard that he disappeared?"
Zhang Ting trembled slightly and raised her head to look at Yun Xi.
Yun Xi's expression was very gentle, with a slight smile on her face, and she did not mean to press forward step by step, which made her tense heart relax a lot.
She defended: "He... just hasn't come back yet."
Yun Xi immediately understood her thoughts, thought about it and said, "Can you tell me where he went? If something happens, maybe I can help. Helping others has always been a good quality of mine."
If others said this, it might make people feel narcissistic and pretentious, but when Yun Xi said this, Zhang Ting trusted her very much, perhaps because she had saved her, or because she was admired and loved by thousands of people.
Therefore, Zhang Ting did not hide it, but told Yun Xi directly.
"He...went to the Qingheng Mountains..."
‘Qingheng Mountains? Are you looking for medicine?’
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and made a guess in her mind.
"...the deserted city within."
After Zhang Ting finished the second half of her sentence, the pupils of Yun Xi and the others shrank suddenly.
