"Hmph, you are misleading the public with your lies, it would be a shame to die!" Yun Xuzi snorted coldly, and said without changing his expression.
After hearing this, the scholar shook his head and sighed, his expression seemed quite melancholy.
“Think about how the Ninth Prince of the Tang Dynasty was so magnificent and unparalleled in his time. But now that time is urging people to grow old, and the years are wasted, he suddenly turned into a sloppy old man, which is very sad. ! ”
Although the scholar’s words expressed emotion about how time flies, they can easily be misunderstood as sarcasm.
But Yun Xuzi didn't seem to be angry at all. He glanced at the scholar, frowned slightly and said, "Sick scholar, can't you get rid of the root of your trouble?"
"Haha, it can't be cured, it can't be cured!"
The scholar laughed loudly and said: "I have been ill for a long time and I am terminally ill! It's a revelation that we can be reunited today!" He picked up the big bowl and took a sip.
Maybe the strong alcohol burned his throat. The scholar drank it all in one gulp, dropped the big bowl, and started coughing violently.
Yun Xuzi frowned even more, and waited until the scholar regained his composure before slowly speaking: "Your condition is so bad, and this matter is quite dangerous. Are you sure you want to join?"
"It doesn't matter!"
The scholar waved his hand and said: "If you and I join forces, we can naturally get an advantage in this matter. Although I have hidden health problems, I will not hold you back. Besides, I am purely responsible. The Yin body has been found, but it’s you.”
He paused and looked at Hui aside. The young man in clothes said: "Although the pure yang body you are responsible for is hard to find, you don't have to use this young boy to make up for it, right?"
"Huh! You don't know something."
Yun Xuzi shook his head slightly, and suddenly stretched out a finger, and a stream of cyan spiritual power came out from his hand, piercing the young man's waist.
It was obvious that the young man could not help but make a sudden move. His expression changed drastically and he jumped back hastily. At the same time, the golden light inside his body instantly covered his whole body. There was a faint sound of Buddhist chanting in the small wine shop.
"Bang!"
The white spiritual power hit the young man's lower abdomen. The young man grunted and secreted a stream of blood from his mouth, but he took a few steps back and still managed to take the blow.
“Huh?”
The scholar looked very interested and stared at the boy in gray for a long time before nodding and saying:
"That's it! I wonder what kind of Buddhist magical power this boy has practiced, and he has actually reached the realm of Vajra Tempered Body. It is not pure Yang, but better than pure Yang!"
This young man in gray is naturally Liang Yan. No doubt.
He never expected that Yun Xuzi would fall out whenever he wanted. One moment he was chatting with someone, and the next moment he would hit him with a finger. But at this time, his life was in human hands, so he couldn't help but be dissatisfied.
Liang Yan stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, remained silent, and sat back on the table again.
“Wonderful, wonderful!” The scholar clapped his hands and smiled: “It seems that we both got the tickets this time.”
Yun Xuzi also showed a smile and said: "Old friend, we have known each other for many years. This time we have secretly formed an alliance. The other five people must not know about it. As long as we are careful, we can say that we are in an invincible position."< br>
“That’s right!” Scholar He nodded and said: "Old friend, I came to drink this bowl of wine. I hope we both get what we need and get away safely!"
As he spoke, he raised the big bowl in his hand and saluted Yun Xuzi from afar. Xuzi also held up the wine bowl on the table, the two of them looked at each other and drank down the wine in one gulp.
“Good wine!”
Yun Xuzi praised it, stood up and cupped his hands towards the scholar:
"There are still ten days left before the agreed date. I still have some personal matters to take care of, so I'll take my leave now!"
"Haha!" The scholar nodded and smiled: "Fellow Taoist Yunxu, please ask me. Then, the scholar waited here for a few days, then went directly up the mountain to make an appointment. I just hope that fellow Taoists will know better and don’t delay the big things I’m waiting for!”
“Of course!”
Yun Xuzi responded and put the coir raincoat on again. After putting on the hat, he turned and headed outside the store.
“Squeak!”
The wooden door of the wine shop was opened again, and a cold wind poured in. Liang Yan took a breath of air and sighed softly. He took out some broken silver from his sleeve and threw it on the table. He quickly followed him out, and the old man's back gradually disappeared into the wind and snow outside the store.
Mingyi City is not far from Siming Mountain. It only takes about seven or eight days for an ordinary traveler to ride a horse. Mingyi City is a transportation fortress that connects the north and south of Zhao State. In the past, There was an endless stream and it was very lively.
In the evening of this day, on the towering city wall of Mingyi City, two figures stood side by side, one old and one young. They were Yun Xuzi and Liang Yan, who had just arrived here not long ago.
At this time, sunset is falling and the lanterns are beginning to light up.
Many shops in Mingyi City have closed during the day, but some romantic night markets have just begun to open, and dots of lights gradually light up in the streets and alleys.
Yun Xuzi was dressed in a soap robe, with his hands behind his back without saying a word. He just stood silently on the city wall and stared at the lights of thousands of families below, not knowing what he was thinking.
Liang Yan has long been accustomed to this. Yun Xuzi is a very sophisticated person and he never talks to others easily, let alone his own chess piece whose life is in his hands.
The two of them had not been standing on the city wall for long, when suddenly three figures emerged from the city. These three people jumped on the roof like flying, their steps were extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, they were there with Yun Xuzi and Liang Yan. before.
I saw these three people, all wearing navy blue robes, kneeling on one knee and saying respectfully:
"See the temple master!"
Yun Xuzi hummed and asked calmly: "How is the matter I want you to investigate?"
"This"
The three of them looked at each other with a trace of anxiety on their faces. , one of them said:
"My subordinates are incompetent. The five people the temple master told us to monitor, but now only the whereabouts of two people have been found. Both of them arrived in Mingyi City three days ago, and the time difference is only About half a day”
"Oh? Which two people are they?" Yun Xuzi's voice was calm, and there was no hint of happiness or anger at all.
“It’s the ‘Smiling Monk’ and the ‘Crane Woman’!”
“It’s them.” Yun Xuzi frowned and murmured to himself: “These two people have been around for a long time. Such a coincidence, there must be something fishy secretly ?”
He pondered for a moment, and then suddenly asked:
“Apart from these two people, is there anything else strange happening near Siming Mountain and Mingyi City?”
The three people kneeling on the ground looked at each other in confusion, and one of them suddenly said:
"There is one thing that is quite special. Thirty miles to the west of Mingyi City, there was a small family of immortal cultivators named Lu. But Right there Three days ago, the entire family of immortal cultivators was wiped out. Not a single one of the more than a hundred family members survived, and they were all cut off at the waist. The murderer's technique was clean and neat, leaving no trace. "
who After hearing this, Zhiyun Xuzi shook his head and sneered: "Are there no clues? That's not necessarily true. More than a hundred people were killed in the middle, which in itself is enough to explain the problem."
He pondered for a while, and suddenly replied Come to your senses , said calmly: "Okay, you three are doing something bad, and you should be punished according to my rules."
As soon as these words were said, the three people on the ground were all sweating, and even their hands and feet couldn't stop it. trembled.
"However." Yun Xuzi changed the topic and continued: "Considering that the current situation is special and it is extremely important to employ people, I will give you a chance to atone for your sins. There are less than ten days left, so keep an eye on the surrounding area carefully. If there is any trace of the target person, report it to me immediately!"
"Yes!" The three people responded quickly.
"Okay, let's all go down!" Yun Xuzi waved his hand and said.
Hearing this, the three young Taoist priests kowtowed on the ground a few more times before leaving in a hurry.
"Liang Yan, I still have some things to deal with. You can walk around this city as you like. As long as you don't have the thought of running away, I won't care about you."
Yun Xuzi turned to look at Liang Yan and continued: "You have finished drinking the medicinal liquid now, and you no longer need to take it every day. However, without my detoxification pill within a month, you will still die from the poison." It will be even more miserable. I hope you are self-aware!"
Liang Yan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm not too worried about my longevity! "
"Okay! Ruyun Xiaozhu will be waiting for me in the city in seven days."
After Yun Xuzi finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves like a big bird. Slowly slide down from the towering city wall into the city, and finally disappear among the crowds under the night lights
