Chapter 260: Arrogant at the front and respectful at the back
Although technically speaking, less than a day passed from arriving to leaving Fairyview City, but on the way to the next mission, Sun Huo always felt uneasy.
It was not because he met Taoist Tianchen and divined the unexplainable hexagram. In fact, he was somewhat grateful to Taoist Tianchen for concealing it. Because judging from the result of the damage to the hexagram, Sun Huo himself still tended to think that this was the case.
It was a sign of a terrible fate, so he would rather rush to the end without knowing anything and face it calmly than live in fear all day long knowing the clear details.
The process of rushing is always so boring and boring, especially when there is only one person walking alone. So when he recalled the experience of meeting Lu Mei that night, Sun Huo found that there were some things that could not be explained. Just like his spiritual glance at that time and this
According to the woman's self-report, he had confirmed that Lu Mei had lost her mana and cultivated her power, but under such circumstances, how could she still discover her hidden form and see through her true identity at a glance?
These details were not noticed by Sun Huo at the time because he was too shocked and unexpected, but now they have become a thorny problem that remains unsolved. If even a mere mortal nearby cannot avoid being noticed, then he really has to do something for the warriors and monks
He was ashamed to death of his dual identity as a secret guard. What made Sun Huo even more afraid for the future was how meticulous Lu Mei's intelligence investigation was, and how accurate his judgment was after covering up. This also made him pay attention to
I have to remember where exactly I was exposed, and I don’t want to make the same mistake again in the future.
Sun Huo was a little annoyed. If he could have been calmer at that time and dealt with things more maturely and thoughtfully, then he might not have been able to use her wish as a bargaining chip to get more answers that he needed to know. Now, what he has thought of can answer these questions.
The only person in question was Mu Xin, who had been arrested and tortured. However, Sun Huo didn't want to mention this unbearable experience to his elder brother again when they met next time, and he didn't know how to say it. The doubt was due to Lu Mei's "weird" reaction before her death. Now, Sun Huo could understand that she was deliberately irritating him in order to seek death, but he could not understand how she could timidly beg for mercy for the furious self, and even went so far as to ask for mercy.
Sun Huo just couldn't bear the idea of ending up by falling down a building after passing the restraint of the mind-controlling spell. If he could do it all over again, he would want to use the previous doubts in exchange to give the other party a happy ending.
The end.
Questions lingered in Sun Huo's mind like morning mist, and he was not temporarily put aside until he reached the boundary of Liuyue Lake.
This is the place where his longing for immortal cultivators was shattered, and it was also the turning point when he entered the world of immortal cultivators. Sun Huo never thought that he would visit again one day. He somewhat missed the escort experience. Although it was a little thrilling, it was comfortable.
There are not as many concerns and constraints as there are now.
For Xiao Feng, the leader at that time, Sun Huo is still grateful when he thinks back now. He did not fear rejection or flattery because of his status as a foreign monk. He shared the wine with others openly and frankly, and even had some support from his elder brother.
The taste of a junior pointed out a way to seek further opportunities to cultivate immortality, although this path was made clearer when he met Xiao Yumu earlier. Now that they are all here, Sun Huo suddenly thought of how to use the next time.
The efforts made to try to fulfill the promise of searching for the person also made the original feeling of being "exiled" much better.
After making up his mind, Sun Huo took out a black bead without further delay, and used a little force to grasp it and smash it into pieces. This was one of the required tasks, and it was also a test of the effectiveness of the induction bead he had refined previously.
It has several effects. Sun Huo is full of expectations for this magical artifact that he refined for the first time alone. Unfortunately, he can't know the specific results now. He can only inquire about it after returning to the sect.
After completing this simple task, Sun Huo flew to the Yingbin Hall in his memory without any delay. This is the gathering place of the four major cultivating families. It is better to have a clear entrance than to rush in by yourself.
Some trouble.
The strange thing is that when Sun Huo landed on the grassland without concealing his whereabouts, the illusion did not disappear and the real scene appeared. However, no one asked, not even the disgusting detective gods in the past.
Nian did not appear.
Anyone would be annoyed by this kind of disregard for the visitor's greeting, but at this time, Sun Huo had no intention of worrying about it, because the requirement of the third task was very simple and clear, which was to hand over a token.
In the hands of the head of the Xiao family, it doesn't look like there will be any further troubles, so he just wants to finish it quickly and go about his own business.
Taking out his identity token and holding it in front of him, Sun Huo faced forward and shouted in a deep voice.
"Sun Huo of the Luoyun Sect has come to meet the head of the Xiao family. Please pass on the news to let him go."
The shouts dispersed slowly, but there was still no response. But Sun Huo knew very well that since the phantom formation had not been removed, someone must be on duty here, but he just didn't understand why he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Could it be for the sake of his past and
He couldn't help but think of Xiao Yumu's holiday, or because of his earlier trespassing incident, which he had already recognized, so he was unpopular.
Forced to complete the task, Sun Huo shouted a few more times without giving up, but the answer to him was still silence. Just when he was thinking about whether to make some big noise to force people to talk, he finally got it.
A man's voice came out impatiently.
"Why are you shouting? I wonder if the clan has been sealed here? No foreigners are welcome."
Flocking a clan? Sun Huo was secretly surprised, but he did not expect it to be for such a reason. For any family or sect, this can be said to be an extremely unfavorable move, and it is not in line with his original view of cultivating immortals.
At the same time, he was also a little surprised that Mu Xin didn’t mention this matter when they were chatting about important events.
Although he was somewhat curious about the reasons that led to this incident, Sun Huo was still more concerned about the mission at the moment, and was also a little irritated by the guard's lazy attitude. Because this was not only related to his personal face, but also if there was news about this in the future
Gossip, but it is inevitable to receive extra reprimand. Originally, I didn’t want to cause trouble, but now I have to take action to establish my authority, and it seems that I need a way to vent my recent unhappiness.
After hesitating for a while, he made up his mind, Sun Huo suddenly sneered and said: "We don't accept outsiders, so we can turn away the sect's messengers without asking the reason, and ignore them, right? You guys?
You are really brave."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Huo stuffed the token back into his storage bag, then pulled out the Ling Yan Sword and stabbed forward without hesitation.
As the magic power entered from the palm of the hand, the Lingyan Sword made a clear "buzz" sound, and the entire sword lit up with a layer of red light, followed by a blazing flame jetting out from the tip of the sword, sweeping straight across.
Moving forward. The air was distorted in the flames, causing the original scene to change. The illusion and the real scene were constantly alternating and unable to be fixed.
Relying on the understanding of the classics he read in the past and the experience of paying tributes, Sun Huo judged that the illusion in front of him was just a disturbing maze, and would not cause any substantial harm. It was more than enough to deal with mortals and ordinary beasts.
.But the fact that there is a hall hidden in the illusion cannot be changed. It is not far from where I am now, only a few dozen feet. Therefore, as long as I keep walking forward, there will always be an attack. With luck,
If it was good, he might not have to go too far to alert someone with enough identity to show up. As for whether his attack would trigger the activation of a defensive circle to counterattack, he was betting that the other party would not dare, not only to reveal the identity of the courier just now.
, and the Lingyan Sword in his hand. This is his current plan.
After seeing the visitor so unscrupulously starting to disrupt the illusion with flames, the man who spoke earlier stopped moving after letting out a exclamation. He seemed to have left, leaving only Sun Huo.
He didn't care, he just held up the Ling Yan Sword step by step to clear the way and moved forward slowly.
"Fellow Taoist, please stop." Sure enough, before he had gone far, the scene in front of Sun Huo changed, revealing the bluestone-paved square and the main hall. The voice that came out was another person's voice, a sweet female voice.
, which surprised Sun Huo.
He felt like a person who could make the decision, so Sun Huo put away the Lingyan Sword as he was told. He believed that this magical weapon should have the desired effect.
"The messenger is here, but I am not welcomed from afar. I wonder what orders the sect wants to convey? I would also like to ask fellow Taoists for advice." The female voice sounded again, and the tone of her words became much more modest, making it sound quite comfortable.
It was only now that he began to pay attention to his own existence. Instead, Sun Huo was not in a hurry to respond, folded his arms and remained silent.
Seeing Sun Huo's sudden silence, the woman seemed to have noticed something.
"If you neglect the messenger, slap it yourself." He ordered lightly, as if the cold indifference towards Sun Huo just now had nothing to do with her. And the unlucky guy actually didn't hesitate at all. After hearing the order, he said
There was a crackling sound.
"Fellow Taoist, please move into the hall to speak. I have ordered someone to prepare tea to relieve fatigue and refresh yourself. Please don't find it objectionable." The woman invited again. At the same time, the stone door in the middle of the hall slowly opened inwards and could accommodate three or four people.
Walking gaps.
What is this? He discovered that he has a special identity, so he sells it specially? Sun Huo guessed with some malice, but did not object. He brushed his body up and down twice and strode towards the palace door.<
