Early in the morning.
Qin Yao and his party gathered in the lobby of the inn. Jingtian shouted to the shopkeeper behind the counter: "Boss, serve tea, serve rice."
"You guys drink first" Have tea, the meal is being prepared." The shopkeeper came to everyone with a pot of tea and gently placed the teapot on the table.
"Thank you." Jingtian said happily.
The shopkeeper looked hesitant and hesitated to speak.
"Do you have something to say?" Qin Yao raised his head and asked.
The shopkeeper was heartbroken and said with cupped hands: "For the record, everyone, there was another murder in the village this morning."
Everyone was shocked, and Xu Changqing quickly asked: "Which family is it again? Inn? ”
"This time it's not an inn, but a member of the village. The originally fat man was almost emaciated when he was found. He was obviously sucked by the monster." The shopkeeper had a look on his face. He was frightened, and his voice was trembling when he spoke.
"Where is that member's wife?" Xu Changqing asked quickly.
"At the east end of the village, the third door from the bottom is his house." the shopkeeper responded.
Xu Changqing stood up immediately and turned to look at Qin Yao: "Daozhang He, I will go to the foreign minister's house to check. You stay here to protect Jingtian and the others."
" I don’t need protection.” Jingtian shouted.
"You can protect me." Qin Yao said to him, and then told Xu Changqing: "Be careful... If you meet an extremely beautiful woman in a purple skirt, it's best to stay away. "
Xu Changqing looked stunned: "Why?"
Qin Yao said: "I made a fortune telling for you last night. You are destined to have a calamity, and this calamity is related to the woman in the purple skirt."
"You can also tell fortunes." Jingtian suddenly became excited. , flashed in front of Qin Yao: "Come and calculate for me and see my future destiny."
Qin Yao put his hand on his head, pushed it aside with a slight force: "Do you think this is guessing, just say it?"
"Thank you very much. "Please remind me, I'm going." Xu Changqing was not interested in watching the two brothers fight, so he held his spiritual sword and saluted.
"Go early and come back early." Qin Yao nodded slightly.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the sun moves from the eastern sky to the western sky, rendering the western sky a red cloud.
Jingtian kept wandering around the inn lobby alone. After going back and forth seven or eight times, he shouted to the three people sitting at the table: "White Tofu has been gone for so long and he hasn't come back." "Aren't you worried?"
"What are you worried about? The hero Changqing is so good at martial arts, there must be no problem." Tang Xuejian said without thinking.
Sedum: "As the saying goes, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people; what if he encounters a particularly powerful demon, or a large group of demons?"
"Then Let's go look for it." Qin Yao took out a copper plate from his hand and input a bit of mana into the copper plate, and the pointer in the center of the copper plate suddenly started to rotate.
"Monster hunting instrument?" Jingtian lowered his head and looked at Tongpan.
Qin Yao nodded: "He followed the evil spirit and left. We also followed the evil spirit to find him. It should be right..."
Half a quarter of an hour later.
Qin Yao, Jingtian, Xue Jian, and Long Kui came to a courtyard, but saw that the pointer of the demon-hunting copper plate pointed directly into the courtyard.
"Climb over the wall, please keep your voice down." Looking at the closed black doors, Jingtian whispered to the left and right.
"It doesn't have to be like this." Qin Yao climbed up the steps and came to the door. He stretched out his hand and patted the door lightly, and the latch on the back of the door bounced up.
"What kind of spell is this?"
Seeing him patting the door gently, and the door opened automatically, Jingtian asked covetously.
Qin Yao smiled and said: "This is not a spell, but a meticulous control of mana. You can also do this in the future."
Jingtian couldn't help but said: "It's great to cultivate immortals , can master all kinds of methods that are unimaginable to ordinary people.”
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry in and take a look." Seeing that Tang Xue was leading the way, she rushed into the yard.
After a short while, a group of people came to a house and invariably dug into the broken window paper with their fingers and looked into the house from different heights.
In the room, on the bed, a beautiful woman sitting cross-legged in front of a figure, her hands surging with red mana, connected to a scholar on the bed who had his eyes closed.
"Swallowing the essence...it's her!" The innkeeper's words suddenly flashed through Jingtian's mind, and he pushed open the red wooden door with a bang.
“Who?”
The woman suddenly raised her eyes, and after seeing the figure outside the door, a look of surprise and surprise suddenly appeared on her face, and she called out: "My benefactor."
"My benefactor?!" Jing, who had just pulled out the demon-suppressing sword, Tian was dumbfounded and followed the other person's gaze to look at Qin Yao.
"Yes, you are calling me." Qin Yao nodded.
Jingtian: "..."
Qin Yao then said to Wan Yuzhi who had finished his work and got out of bed: "Please explain to me what you are doing. This friend of mine may It’s a misunderstanding.”
Wan Yuzhi stood up straight and pointed at the man on the bed: "This is my husband. I don't know why he was poisoned by a special toxin. He is unconscious and getting thinner. I have just been using magic to help him absorb the power of the medicine and strengthen his body." ."
"Really?" Jingtian was doubtful.
Wan Yuzhi said: "If you don't believe it, you can take a look at my husband's condition now."
Seeing her seriousness, Jingtian believed 80% of her words and said again: " People are being killed frequently in the village. Do you know what the evil spirits are doing?”
Wan Yuzhi: “I can only say that it has nothing to do with me.”
"Then you know." Jingtian subconsciously raised the demon-suppressing sword, and suddenly thought of the relationship between the other party and Biping, he put the sword down again, turned around and said: "Biping, you come and ask."
Qin Yao took a deep look at Wan Yuzhi and said, "Your husband is poisoned by water."
Wan Yuzhi's eyes suddenly widened: "You Do you know this poison?"
Qin Yao said calmly: "I not only know this poison, but also how to cure it."
Wan Yuzhi knelt down without hesitation. He kowtowed and said, "Please help me once again. As long as my husband is safe and sound, I am willing to work as a cow or a horse to repay my kindness."
Qin Yao waved his hand and said: "I don't need you to be a cow or a horse, I just need you to be obedient. Listen, the Earth Spirit Pearl can detoxify water poison, and where there is water poisoning, there must be traces of the Earth Spirit Pearl . Think about it, your husband. Where did he go before he was poisoned?"
Wan Yuzhi knelt on the ground, thinking hard, and suddenly an idea flashed: "I thought of it, he went to the ancient vine forest."
Qin Yao. Nod , said: "Then if nothing unexpected happens, the Earth Spirit Pearl is in the Ancient Vine Forest. You can first go to the Ancient Vine Forest to explore the road and look for traces of the Earth Spirit Pearl. After we find the friend who has not returned yet, we will also go to the Ancient Vine Forest. I'm gonna take a look "
Wan Yuzhi: "Are you looking for the Taoist priest in white who was with you last time?"
Qin Yao said in surprise: "Do you know where he is?"< br>
Wan Yuzhi blinked and said, "When I went to the pharmacy to get some medicine, I passed by a tavern and saw the Taoist drinking with a woman in a purple skirt..."
Qin Yao's mouth curled up slightly. One pump.
I have long told this stubborn man that he should stay away from a woman with purple gauze, but he still desperately tried to get closer to her after encountering her.
"May I ask, girl, where is this tavern?" Jingtian asked hurriedly, a little worried about Xu Changqing.
Wan Yuzhi looked back at her husband and said, "That place is not easy to find, I will take you there."
Half an hour later.
Wan Yuzhi led a group of people to the next town, pointed to a brightly lit tavern and said, "This is it." "Let's go." Qin Yao waved his hand and took the lead.
"Guests, how many of you are there?" In the tavern, a waiter saw them entering and trotted to greet them.
“Don’t drink, find someone.” Qin Yao said.
The second brother smiled for a moment: "May I ask who you are looking for?"
"A handsome Taoist priest wearing white clothes and carrying a long sword on his back." Jingtian responded.
The second brother shook his head and said: "Sorry, there is no such person in our store."
Qin Yao reached out and tapped his shoulder, briefly sealing his ability to move. He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the second floor: "Follow me."
Jingtian, Xuejian, and Nightshade followed him, quickly rushed up to the second floor, and stopped in front of a room.
"Dong dong dong." Qin Yao stood in front of the door and knocked on the door.
The wooden door was quickly opened, and a woman in a purple dress and a veil of the same color appeared in front of everyone, and asked quietly: "Is something wrong?"
Qin Yao Looking directly into the other person's eyes, he said: "We are here to pick up Xu Changqing. "
Zixuan's complexion changed. Fortunately, she was covered by a veil and was not exposed in front of others: "There is no Xu Changqing here."
Qin Yao said: "If you continue to cut off, you will be disturbed. Miss Zixuan, don’t make any mistakes.”
Zixuan's eyes suddenly widened: "What do you know?"
Qin Yao: "That's not important, because I am insignificant to you. But my words are important, you really think about it clearly Are you gone?"
Zixuan: "..."
Behind Qin Yao, Jingtian and others all looked confused.
Zixuan looked at him deeply and stepped aside to get out of the way: "He drank too much and has fallen asleep now."
Qin Yao nodded and said: "Jingtian, go and carry Xu Changqing out."
"Why me?" Jingtian asked instinctively.
Qin Yao: "If it weren't for you, do you want Xuejian to carry him, or do you want Nightshade to carry him?"
Singtian: "..."
Shaoqing, Jingtian carried Xu Changqing out of the room who was drunk. Qin Yao cupped his hands towards Zixuan and said: "Miss Zixuan, take care of yourself."
Zixuan watched them leave quietly, a trace of confusion flashed deep in her eyes...
Love for three lifetimes, tragedy for two lifetimes, does this mean that she and the other party are not destined to be married?
"My benefactor, I want to find the Earth Spirit Pearl now." Wan Yuzhi said suddenly while walking on the quiet and cold street.
Qin Yao pondered for a moment, then ordered to Jingtian and others: "You take Daochang Xu back to the inn, Haosheng will take care of you. I will go to the ancient vine forest with her."
Jingtian I really wanted to go with him, but after looking at the two women next to me, I had to warn him: "Be careful, safety first."
Qin Yao smiled and said, "So are you."
At that moment, Wan Yuzhi was in front and Qin Yao was behind. Two streams of light, one red and one gold, rushed into the night sky at high speed and disappeared among the stars in the blink of an eye.
“I don’t know when I will be able to fly whenever I want.” Jingtian looked at the direction in which they disappeared, with an expression of envy on his face.
"Don't be too ambitious, let's go quickly." Tang Xuejian shivered and said, "It's quite cold at night."
Not long after, Nightshade Nightshade was walking. , looking back constantly.
"What are you looking at?" Jingtian followed her gaze, but found nothing.
Langui whispered: "I feel like someone is spying on us."
Looking at the dark alleys around him, Jingtian swallowed silently: "Don't scare me. Ah, it’s so late, is there anyone else?”
Langui: "Maybe... not a human being."
Jingtian's body trembled, and Tang Xuejian, who was also feeling cold, stepped forward and walked towards each other: "Go back quickly , just go back..."
It's night, second watch.
Wan Yuzhi and Qin Yao landed in front of an old forest and said, "The noise of flying in is too great, and it may cause unnecessary trouble. How about we go in on foot?"
"Okay." Qin Yao didn't want to make it any harder for himself and agreed on the spot.
The two of them stepped into the ancient forest side by side, and walked deeper into the ancient forest amidst the sounds of insects.
"Huh...huh..."
As we walked, loud snores suddenly came from a certain direction, like the roar of war drums.
"Want to go and have a look?" Wan Yuzhi asked softly.
Qin Yao opened his eyebrows and raised his eyes. His vision quickly flew to the place where the snoring came from. He shook his head and said: "I have already seen it. It is a big monkey. Don't worry about him."
He knew about this monkey. In the original work, this monkey was named Jingjing. After a fight with the protagonist, he turned into a little monkey. Before he was finally killed by Luo Rulie, he used his unique skill Feilong Tan. Yunshou passed to Jingtian.
He didn't covet the Feilong Cloud Explorer, and he didn't think Luo Rulie dared to show up in front of them because of his presence, so he ignored the monkey demon's thoughts at all.
And just as they were moving forward, on the other side, Jingtian finally carried Xu Changqing to the latter's room, panting and said to the two girls behind him: "You go back and rest first, I will look at the white tofu."
"Can you do it?" Tang Xuejian asked.
Jingtian said angrily: "What can't I do?"
"I mean, don't look at me and fall asleep." Tang Xuejian said.
Sedum waved his hand: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Drink~hoo... drink~hoo..."
At midnight, Xu Changqing was lying flat on the bed and fast asleep. Jingtian was sitting in front of the bed, with his upper body lying on the edge of the bed, and his voice was as loud as a bagpipe. Even with Xuan'er.
Silently, a ball of red mist came in from the bottom of the door, and soon filled Sedum's whole body.
Not long after, when the red mist filled Xu Changqing's body, a golden light suddenly emerged from his body to protect him.
The next moment.
Sedum disappeared into the room along with the red mist. Also disappearing with him were Xuejian and Nightshade who were sleeping.
I don’t know how long it has been.
In the ancient vine forest.
Qin Yao and Wan Yuzhi came to the depths of the ancient forest, only to see vines hanging on different trees like fishing nets, completely blocking the way forward.
Wan Yuzhi turned his hand and summoned a sharp sword. He raised his arm to cut off the vines, but Qin Yao grabbed his wrist.
"What's wrong?" Wan Yuzhi asked confused.
Qin Yao pointed to the air and said: "It's not over if you fly over there. What are you doing cutting it down? It's time-consuming and laborious."
Wan Yuzhi: "..." (End of this chapter) )
