It was getting late that day, and Kong Zilan originally wanted to stay on Feiyu Mountain, but Yun Hao drove him down the mountain on the grounds that the rooms on the mountain were full.
"There are obviously several rooms on this mountain!" Kong Zilan was not convinced, and turned around to enter the room next to Rong Wan, but Qi Bishu and Yun Hao cooperated very well, and stood there expressionlessly holding his sword.
Kong Zilan paused, but still broke in without a rogue.
She quarreled with Yun Hao, and Yun Hao was so angry that he drew his sword, she didn't feel any sense of danger, but in front of this kid, she suddenly felt a bit of being suppressed at the bottom of the food chain for no reason, but, obviously this kid's cultivation base seems to be too Not that high. However, she still had to maintain her gentle image in front of Jun Yujun, so after making a fuss for a while, she went down the mountain.
The news brought by Kong Zilan is not small. If these high-strength monks really encounter any accidents, then I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe in Xiuxian Continent! Now that Rong Wan has penetrated the shell of Mr. Xun Yu, no matter what, he must figure out what is going on.
So, he discussed with the rest of the people on the mountain and planned to go down the mountain the next day to check the situation. Needless to say, Qi Bishu will definitely go with him. Wen Sitian didn't recover from her injury yet, so she stayed to guard the mountain with Zhong Ziye.
Yun Hao and Xie Cangchuan unanimously decided to go together, but their purpose was not to help Kong Zilan, but to be idle on the mountain, so why not go down the mountain! It was Kong Zilan who listened to their gags, didn't focus on finding someone along the way, but talked about where the wine was good, and almost died of anger.
Along the way, Rong Wan and the others also learned about recent events. A total of eleven or two people were missing, almost all of them were highly respected people from some sects. These sects also sent people out to look for them, but they found nothing. Even in the places where they disappeared, even the traces of fighting could not be found, but how could people disappear out of thin air? Really weird.
There is a team sent by Tu Xianmen to look for Kong Zhiping, but in recent years Tu Xianmen has made no achievements in cultivation skills, and the highest cultivation level in this team is only Kong Zilan of Jindan stage. In other words, this team is useless, if it encounters a strong enemy, it will immediately fall apart. Therefore, Kong Zilan left the people of Tu Xianmen and went to find Rong Wan in private.
She had already found out that the place where her second brother appeared for the last time was the Long Great Wall at the border. Seven days ago, Kong Zhiping passed by with the escort, and there were villagers nearby who saw him and the bodyguards, but for the next 7 days, he never sent back any news, not only him, but also the bodyguards, all disappeared without a trace .
After two days of driving, we arrived at the Great Wall of Dragons.
As soon as he entered the city gate, he felt the surroundings were as quiet as a tomb, and green mud kept falling from the eaves and was frozen by frost. Almost like a dead city. The shadow of the dim lamp turned yellow, as if there was a ghost about to come out from somewhere.
This situation is really frightening. Naturally, there is no shortage of ghost cultivators in this Continent of Immortal Cultivation, but there are very few of them, and they are all lonely and wild ghosts who are not good enough. How can they make more than a dozen people with advanced cultivation bases disappear? Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for this incident to be related to ghost cultivation.
But just to be on the safe side, Rong Wan still took out a round black jade from Qiankun's bag. This is a heavenly magic weapon treasured by Mr. Xun Yu. When he encounters the Tiangang Soul Concentrating Furnace, he can detect the souls around him. . At that time, Liu Qingzang gave him the Soul Condensation Furnace, which came in handy. As soon as the object was taken out, the black jade did not light up, indicating that there was no ghost cultivator nearby.
Xie Cangchuan knew what he was holding, and said, "This is a good treasure. It can condense the souls of people who die within seven days. Where did you get it?"
"Penglai Sect." Rong Wan glanced at him, and joked with him: "Seeing that you like it so much, if something happens here, just use it to pretend to be you."
Xie Cangchuan laughed: "Okay, as expected of being friends for many years, I still miss me after I die."
While the two were talking, Qi Bishu frowned, couldn't help leaning towards Rongwan, and pushed Xie Cangchuan away calmly: "Gu master has great skills, who can hurt you?"
"That's not what you said—" Xie Cangchuan was interrupted by Kong Zilan before he could finish speaking.
Kong Zilan looked around with a bit of fear on his face: "Xun Yujun, have you noticed anything? I, Tu Xianmen, often come to the Long Great Wall to do business. Although it is a border town, it has a population of tens of thousands. , why is it so depressed now?"
She grabbed Rong Wan's sleeves when she was afraid.
Qi Bishu glanced at her, and then his eyes fell on her hand holding Rong Wan's clothes. He felt very unhappy, and said coolly: "A dozen people disappeared here, and the townspeople naturally closed their doors. Could it be that they all ran out to die?"
Rong Wan felt that Qi Bishu was always well-behaved, but today he seemed to be in a firecracker, and couldn't help but look at him more, but when he looked over, Qi Bishu avoided his gaze, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.
Kong Zilan was choked, feeling upset, frowned and stared at Qi Bishu, and said, "Little brother, have I offended you? Why do you always target me?"
As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. Yun Hao and Qi Bishu put aside their prejudices for the time being, and said to Kong Zilan with a smile: "Oh, who targeted you? What did my fourth brother say wrong? It's because you are too small. Just think about it all day long, and blame others."
Confucius Lan: "You..."
Rong Wan couldn't listen anymore, so he interrupted them and said, "The most urgent thing is to find an inn to rest."
But thanks to them, the gloomy feeling that enveloped everyone just now disappeared.
Long Great Wall is said to be a town, but it is very large, with complicated streets, and many inns and restaurants. Now the world is in a state of unrest, and most of the shops have closed early. Only one inn is still burning with candles, and the few people had no choice but to go there. There are only three upper rooms left in this inn, which is just right. Kong Zilan is a female cultivator, so she lives in one room by herself, and the other four men squeeze into two rooms.
It was just that when the room was divided, there was a little quarrel again.
Yun Hao reconciled with Cangchuan and didn't deal with it, so naturally he didn't want to reconcile Cangchuan with a room, but when the room was divided, Qi Bishu tricked him to go to the innkeeper to get the key. Everything was packed, and even the bedding in the room was laid out, occupying the site first. Yun Hao was so angry that he cursed loudly, and the alliance he just formed broke up as soon as he said it.
Kong Zilan was still worried about her second brother after all, so she met Rong Wan in the corridor and asked, "When shall we investigate tomorrow?"
"Leave at dawn." After thinking for a while, Rong Wan urged: "Close the doors and windows at night, and if there is any movement, call out immediately."
Kong Zilan was full of worries and nodded.
Rong Wan was not at ease. Those who can make so many people disappear must be at least above the Qishen level, so what is the murderer's purpose? Is there any connection between these missing people
Rong Wan thought about the missing eleven or two in his heart, but he still didn't find any similarities between them. It's not the same sect, it's not the same age, there are men and women, there is no common enemy, and some of them even don't know each other.
Take Kong Zilan's second elder brother as an example. He is cautious, and every time he goes down the mountain, he only goes down the mountain to deliver supplies. According to Kong Zilan, he has never offended anyone. Why is it him? Why these people
These people do have one thing in common.
That is - the cultivation base is above the golden core.
Seeing him pondering, Xie Cangchuan said to him, "These missing people have good cultivation."
Rong Wan nodded and said: "That is to say, the other party is here for their cultivation, what's the use of taking their cultivation? Could it be possible to use it for yourself?"
"Of course." Xie Cangchuan pondered: "This kind of cultivation method exists. Although it has been lost for a long time, it will inevitably be used by people with intentions. If we speculate that it is true, then taking away so many people's cultivation base, I'm afraid that the murderer's skills will increase greatly in the near future."
Rong Wan felt a little vigilant in his heart: "On the Continent of Cultivation of Immortals, if he can snatch the inner alchemy of a monk above Qishen level, then his own cultivation must be above Qishen. This is really scary..." Suddenly thought of something, His expression changed. Previously, he just followed Kong Zilan's thinking, thinking that the murderer's target might be to reconcile Cangchuan himself, but what about Qi Bishu? The murderer's target may not be Qi Bishu. Nowadays, although few people know about Qi Bishu's life experience, and few people know that Qi Bishu has given birth to a divine bone, but if the murderer has great powers, he may have already noticed it.
Thinking of this, he stopped talking to Cang Chuan and hurried back to his room, but Qi Bishu was not in the room.
Xie Cangchuan also planned to go back to his room, but saw Qi Bishu walking out from the shadow at the corner of the stairs.
Qi Bishu obviously heard the conversation between Cang Chuan and Rong Wan, and his expression was a bit strange.
Although he didn't intend to listen, but since he gave birth to the divine bone, his spiritual consciousness has become stronger and stronger, and Master's words of reconciliation with Cangchuan fell into his ears on his own initiative. Seeing that Cang Chuan looked over, he said solemnly, "It's not me."
"Where do you have such a great ability?" Xie Cangchuan sneered slightly, "Among the missing people are spirits, even if your body has recovered to 10% now, I'm afraid there is no way to get rid of a spirit easily. Missing."
But both of them knew that if it wasn't Qi Bishu, then it was some other scary guy.
——The cultivation base is above Qishen, and he also knows the techniques of ghost art in the underworld.
If the identity of this kind of guy remains unknown, if he is not found out, and he is allowed to slowly inflate by sucking other people's cultivation, I am afraid that the world will soon be in chaos.
Qi Bishu was also worried in his heart that Rong Wan would be in danger, so instead of reconciling Cang Chuan, he ordered Xiao Er to bring two pots of hot water, and then went back to the room. As soon as he opened the door, he saw that Rong Wan was about to go out in a hurry, so he asked, "Master, what's the matter?"
Rong Wan grabbed his arm and breathed a sigh of relief: "Where have you been?"
Qi Bishu's heart warmed, and he said, "Go downstairs and ask Xiao Er to bring hot water."
"Follow me closely these few days, don't run around." Rong Wan sat down, drank a mouthful of tea dryly, and urged: "The pill Xie Cangchuan gave you last time can last for four days, right? We will try our best to finish this matter within four days, if you can't finish it, you will return to your original shape and hide in my Qiankun bag first."
"Okay." Qi Bishu lay down on his knees and said obediently.
After thinking about it, Rong Rong still didn't feel at ease, and took out a golden thumb-sized bell from his Qiankun bag: "This is Xun—this is a magic weapon I received before, and if you tie it on your body, if any accident happens , I can find you quickly."
Qi Bishu took the bell, weighed it twice, raised his head and asked, "Master, do you only have one bell?"
"Of course there is only one." Rong Wan said inexplicably: "This is a magic weapon of the heaven rank, very rare, you are so greedy, and you want to hang two around your waist?"
"What I mean is, if there are two, give one to Brother Yun Hao, otherwise wouldn't he be very dangerous?"
Rong Wan's face was embarrassed, it's too bad, he almost forgot about Yun Hao, what an incompetent master! Qi Bishu possessed a divine bone, and was the target of many people, so he was inevitably anxious, but Yun Hao was in the late stage of Jindan, so he was within the range of the murderer's target, so he was also in danger.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly got up and went to the next room to give instructions.
Qi Bishu watched him leave, holding the bell in his palm, but this time, his heart was so happy that he couldn't help curling his lips.
When he came back, Xiaoer had brought over two buckets of steaming water.
It's just that when Rong Wan passed by him, he felt that something was wrong, and there seemed to be an indescribable smell in the air—as if a piece of meat was rotting little by little, exuding the smell of corpses deliberately covered by the fragrance. He smelled it, and Qi Bishu, who had broken through his divine sense, naturally also smelled it, and immediately raised his sword and rushed over vigilantly.
Xiao Er was startled, her legs softened, and she knelt on the ground: "You two guests, what are you going to do?"
Rong Wan pointed to Xiao Er and asked, "Is it his smell?"
Qi Bishu's sense of smell is more sensitive than his. He frowned and sniffed carefully, then shook his head and said, "It didn't come from him."
"Did the two guest officers say that there is a bad smell?" Xiao Er then wiped the sweat from his forehead, got up tremblingly, and said, "It's probably the smell from the slaughtered cattle and sheep behind our inn. The daily business is not good, and some beef and mutton have not been eaten for a long time, and all of them have been spoiled.”
Since it didn't come from him, let him go.
It's just that Rong Wan and Qi Bishu didn't believe the smell of rotten beef and mutton he said, so they went to the fence in the backyard to have a look, only to find that what the little girl said was the truth. Undisposed carrion humming.
Qi Bishu frowned in disgust, and said to Rong Wan: "Master, since the smell comes from here, why didn't we smell it when we first entered the inn?"
"Probably the inn just threw the carrion here." Rong Wan frowned.
He always felt that the inn was very strange, but he couldn't tell where it was, and he didn't know whether it was the inn or which link. In short, he had to be more vigilant. Before, I thought I could sleep peacefully tonight, but now it seems that I have to go to reconcile Cang Chuan and take turns keeping vigil at night.
He and Qi Bishu went back to the room, Xie Cangchuan and Yun Hao also came out, leaned against the door, and asked what happened just now.
After the content is over, I narrate it again.
Xie Cangchuan didn't think much about it, he yawned and said, "Go to bed first, we'll talk about it when something happens."
Rong Wan glanced at Kong Zilan's room and asked, "Where is Taoist Master Kong?"
Xie Cangchuan joked nonchalantly: "The female cultivator is taking a bath, don't you hear the sound of water, or Mr. Xun Yu, do you want to go in and have a look?"
Rong Wan frowned and said, "Say nonsense."
Both Qi Bishu and Yun Hao glared at Xie Cangchuan at the same time, causing the smile on Xie Cangchuan's face to slowly stiffen. He sighed faintly, the three master and apprentice really couldn't afford to joke, they were extremely boring.
After returning to the room, the steaming hot water was not so hot, just right.
Rong Wan said: "You wash first."
Qi Bishu was still very alert just now, but now he glanced at the hot steam, but couldn't help but blushed slightly, and said: "Master, you wash first, I will guard it for you."
Rong Wan didn't have any objections, since something unexpected happened while taking a shower, so he didn't let Qi Bishu leave the room, but let him stand with his back facing him and facing the window.
After Qi Bishu stood up, he began to undress after Rong finished.
Qi Bishu heard the rustling sound of undressing behind him, as well as the sound of throwing the clothes on the bed and stepping into the water, which made people daydream. For some reason, his complexion became more and more hot, and he couldn't help stretching out his hands to fan his ears. Fan the wind.
When I stalked and slept in the master's room, I didn't have so many messy thoughts in my heart. I was very simple. I just wanted to please the master so that the master could treat me better and let me stay in Feiyu Mountain for a long time. superior. In this way, you will not be displaced and homeless.
But at this moment, he is like a young boy who has just begun to fall in love, and his mind is like a marquee. For a while, he can't help but think about what it would be like for Master to take off his clothes, and for a while, he can't help but stop his rude thoughts: " Qi Bishu, you are simply absurd, absurd! That's your master! It's a shame to offend me!"
In the midst of such tangled repetitions and apprehensions, he was able to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that the master behind him had finally finished his bath. But I couldn't help but secretly disappointed, how could it be washed so quickly
Naturally, Rong Wan didn't know Qi Bishu's series of far-fetched thoughts, he was just afraid that something would happen while taking a shower, so he decided quickly.
When he got dressed and was about to ask Xiao Er to empty the bucket of water, he found Qi Bishu's face exploded into a red, ripe shrimp.
"What's wrong with you?" Rong Wan asked suspiciously.
Qi Bishu was still young, so he definitely wouldn't have any thoughts about Qi Bishu, nor could he imagine that Qi Bishu would have any thoughts about him. It's just that he doesn't know that children also have a throbbing and green first love.
Qi Bishu stared at the ground, and the twelfth lunar month was outside the window behind him. He didn't dare to look up, and stammered: "It's hot, it's too hot."
