Chapter 126 Weird
Jumbo Pavilion.
Although he suspected that it was shopkeeper Shen who reported his possession of spiritual milk to Luo Qinglan, Chen Lin came to the store first.
He wanted to see if there was anything unusual about the other party seeing him.
“What, you stopped being the shopkeeper and were promoted to the elder of the sect?”
After entering the store, Chen Lin got the news that shopkeeper Shen had been promoted.
Chen Lin's face darkened. There was no need to doubt it. It was basically a real deal.
The other party used the information that he had spiritual milk in exchange for an official position. Otherwise, how could He De be able to sit in the position of elder if the other party had practiced Qi and cultivated his skills!
Moreover, the Qingyang Sect also has Golden Core monks, and it has become a large sect that can compete with the Lieyang Sect. I don’t know how many monks will come to join them, and the value of the position will rise sharply.
However, Chen Lin had decided to keep the spiritual milk matter in his stomach and did not inquire further.
The new shopkeeper is a burly man and a late-stage qi-training monk, but he must be quite old.
The only characteristic is that it is ugly!
This made Chen Lin very confused. Isn’t it disgusting for you to have such an ugly person as the shopkeeper of a store?
But when he saw the other guys, he immediately noticed something unusual.
When he came here the first two times, the people who were responsible for receiving customers were all beautiful women, and at worst they were young men with pretty features. Why are they now replaced by such ugly old people with wrinkles on their faces?
Something is wrong.
Chen Lin originally wanted to buy some materials, but at this time he was no longer in the mood, so he turned around and left the store.
There are dozens of stores in Fang City. If there is a problem with this one, just change it. Anyway, they are no longer partners.
But when he walked to the next store, he found that it was still the same as Zhenbao Pavilion. Both the shopkeeper and the waiters were unsightly and could stop a child from crying at night.
What’s even more exaggerated, when he entered a store called Yunhai Trading Company, the other party even used an identification weapon on him!
"What's going on? Is it possible that I can still be a monster? Will you do this to every customer who comes in?"
Being treated so rudely, Chen Lin couldn't help but reprimand him.
The shopkeeper was a big man with a pockmarked face. Hearing this, he immediately glanced at Chen Lin in surprise and said, "Is it possible that fellow Taoist has just left seclusion and doesn't know the situation?"
Chen Lin was surprised for a moment, frowned and said, "It's really like what fellow Taoist said." Likewise, I have just come out of seclusion. I see that although other stores do not use detection instruments, the clerks are also replaced by people with special looks. Is there some reason for this? "
"No wonder. That's normal." The shopkeeper showed a clear look.
Chen Lin was confused. He was fully prepared and had been in seclusion for less than a month. What could happen?
"Fellow Taoist, I don't know. Since the end of the trade fair, a big thing has happened within the scope of our Qingyang Sect!"
The shopkeeper looked frightened and said An unexpected incident occurred that stunned Chen Lin.
This matter is also related to the Zixia Fairy of the Ye family.
It turns out that just after he went into seclusion to refine his body with evil spirits, Ye Jinxuan, who fell into the Wuzhen Tower, died because of being overwhelmed and resentful.
Originally, this was nothing. She was a female Qi practitioner from a family that was wiped out, and her death would not cause any waves.
This is exactly what happened. After this woman died, Wuzhenlou just informed her and continued doing business.
Two days later, when the trade fair ended and Wu Zhenlou also left Yan Country, something strange happened.
One after another, monks went crazy for no apparent reason. This happens to all male cultivators, and there is a reason why they go crazy. They only attack after meeting a young and beautiful female cultivator, and they become like wild beasts, just wanting to satisfy their primitive desires.
As a result, some female cultivators, especially the pretty ones, dare not go out.
At first, only a few people suffered from the disease, and everyone thought it was caused by the obsession with cultivating. Later, more and more people suffered from the disease, and the targets were no longer limited to beautiful female cultivators, not beautiful ones, older ones, and even Even the male cultivators who could bear to watch were violated.
People were panicked for a while.
Such a big thing naturally attracted the attention of Qingyang Sect, because there were also disciples in their sect who were attacked, and they immediately sent people to investigate.
It was soon discovered that all the monks who fell ill had crossed paths with Ye Jinxuan in Wuzhen Tower.
The truth is shocking and even more frightening.
Because the people who came to Ye Jinxuan were not only Qi-training monks, but also Foundation-building monks!
Even several of the foundation-building elders of Qingyang Sect have looked for him.
If these strong foundation builders also get sick, who can stop them!
Sure enough, within two days, it was reported that an elder of Qingyang Sect went crazy and insulted more than a dozen female disciples overnight. Although he was ruthlessly suppressed by Luo Qinglan, it also made the female disciples of the entire sect mad. The disciple is in danger.
Not only the Qingyang Sect disciples, but also the entire female cultivators around Qingyang Mountain were too scared to go out. Moreover, it was not just the nearby cultivators who had an affair with Ye Jinxuan, because when the other party entered the Wuzhen Building, it was during the trading conference, and there were other cultivators who came here. Many people have looked for it, and other cities may not be safe.
It is worth mentioning that this kind of crazy person is only interested in monks, but not at all in mortal women. Even if a stunning mortal beauty and an ordinary male cultivator stand together, they will both Rushing towards the male cultivator.
Hearing this information, Chen Lin felt numb all over and couldn't help but look around vigilantly.
But I finally figured out the cause of the matter.
No wonder all shops use ugly shopkeepers and waiters, this is really safe.
It's better to be an eyesore than to be in trouble.
After all, no one knows who has come to Ye Jinxuan. These people are just like normal people when they are not sick. They dare not expose themselves for fear of human destruction, so they have to take precautions.
After learning about this situation, Chen Lin did not dare to delay in Fangshi anymore. He quickly bought all the things he wanted to buy and decided to go back and continue retreat.
Since his body has recovered, he is now somewhat handsome. If he encounters a crazy Foundation Establishment monk, he will not be able to resist it!
In order to enhance his defense capabilities, Chen Lin endured his heartache and spent a huge amount of money to buy a high-grade robe and an ugly thin-skin mask.
It is said that this mask is currently the most popular product, and the price is extremely high, but you can't save this money.
After buying it, he didn’t even dare to use the flying spell anymore, and specifically chose desolate places that were inaccessible to walk.
Chen Lin was thinking about why this happened along the way. Even if Ye Jinxuan had a charmed body, it would not be so exaggerated. It is estimated that some changes had occurred, and it was probably an evil spirit.
Since crossing over, Chen Lin has encountered two powerful strange creatures in succession, one is the strange creature from Kaiyuan City, and the other is the blood shadow from Guyuan City, both of which are beyond common sense.
So as soon as he heard what the shopkeeper said, he suspected that Ye Jinxuan was possessed by a strange creature.
However, he just speculated on his own, and he would not confirm whether it was correct or not. He learned a lot from the mistakes he made, so how could he still ask for trouble after he had already made two mistakes.
Go back and hide in seclusion for a while. After the storm subsides, he will leave here immediately.
