After saying this, Xue Wei turned around and ran away faster than when Pei Qianyue called him to pick them up at the gate of the city.
Feng Ci was silent for a moment, then turned around and asked Pei Qianyue, "Does he think I'm a fool?"
The first three entrances to Xue's mansion, and the rockery garden and waterside pavilion at the back, before Xue Wei led them to this courtyard, they passed through seven or eight large and small courtyards.
Are these just decorations
"Really?" Pei Qianyue pretended to think for a moment, and said seriously, "I don't see it."
Feng Ci: "..."
Yes, you can't "see".
Feng Ci gritted his lower teeth lightly.
Pei Qianyue didn't seem to notice Feng Ci's reaction, and turned around and walked into the house calmly. It's a pity that when he turned his head, he didn't hide the slight curve of his lips, which exposed his small thoughts.
If it weren't for the human form at this moment, the snake's tail would probably be raised.
Feng Ci stood in the yard watching Pei Qianyue enter the house, he didn't hold back, and smiled helplessly.
Why didn't I realize that Tangtang City Lord Langfeng was such a childish person before.
How old is this man
But speaking of it, Pei Qianyue practiced in Lingwu Mountain for more than 2,000 years, and only came out of the mountain in the past 300 years. Calculated in this way, it didn't take long for him to learn how to be a human being.
The little fox demon that Hanshan Temple encountered was only three or four hundred years old. Judging by the age of the demon, it was still a cub.
Feng Ci persuaded himself, and followed into the house with the idea that he couldn't be as familiar with his own cub.
Xue's mansion is worthy of being a wealthy local businessman, and the rooms for guests are also luxuriously and elegantly furnished and cleaned. According to Xue Wei's order, incense was lit in the house, and tea was placed on the table, which was well prepared.
The only fly in the ointment is also obvious, only a bed.
Feng Ci pretended not to notice this, and asked, "How did you know this Xue Wei? He shouldn't be a disciple of Langfeng City?"
Langfeng City would not accept such poor disciples.
Pei Qianyue sat down at the table and explained: "The only son of the Xue family accidentally fell into the water three years ago. After waking up, his personality changed drastically. He told everyone that his name was not Xue Wei and that he did not belong to this world. He was supposed to die. Mr. Xue thought he was bewitched, so he looked around for someone to see a doctor for him."
Feng Ci: "..."
He was not surprised at all.
Whether it's Xue Wei's origin or his reaction.
Pei Qianyue continued: "Xue Wei was sent by his father to practice in the fairy gate for a period of time when he was young, and he knew a few people from the fairy gate. But the Xue family searched for many monks and couldn't see anything wrong, so they finally found Langfeng City .”
Feng Ci asked: "Did you watch it for him?"
"It's Xiao Que."
Feng Ci: "See what's wrong?"
"No." Pei Qianyue said, "His body is normal, he is not bewitched, nor is he taken away by someone."
The wind said goodbye.
Xue Wei is probably a soul from the Sumeru world. He died physically in other worlds, and when his soul left the world, some accident happened, and he accidentally fell here.
It just so happened that Xue Wei in this world died at the same time as him, and his physical body and his soul were surprisingly compatible.
It's just the resurrection of the dead.
This kind of thing is not common, but it is not surprising that Xue Wei's spirit cannot be detected in the cultivation world.
The existence of Sumi World is the biggest secret in this world. In order to protect this secret, Heavenly Dao imposes rules on each small world.
—The soul from another world cannot be detected.
This is also the reason why Feng Ci has never been discovered after traveling in different worlds for so many years.
Feng Ci asked, "Did you believe what he said?"
"Xue Wei's body and mind are fine, and he doesn't need to lie." Pei Qianyue said, "Other than that, there is no other possibility."
Feng Ci is still unclear: "But why do you keep him by your side?"
Wei is not only mediocre, but also doesn't look very reliable. Apart from his background, he is not considered a talent.
With Pei Qianyue's temperament, it would be considered polite not to kill someone of unknown origin when he found out that this kind of person, how could he keep him instead
Pei Qianyue said: "I also went here for you."
Feng Ci blinked.
He suddenly remembered that Pei Qianyue had indeed asked himself if he came from this world.
He was still wondering how Pei Qianyue knew about this.
So... did he say that
Pei Qianyue asked: "You don't remember?"
Feng Ci tilted his head guiltily.
He can't be blamed for this, it was all three thousand years ago, how could he remember everything.
Pei Qianyue said in a low voice: "But I remember everything you said to me."
Feng Ci: "..."
Did this person keep poking his heart on purpose today
"I..." Feng Ci pursed his lips, and his voice unconsciously softened, "How did I tell you then?"
Pei Qianyue said: "You said, you are going to a distant place, each place exists beyond this world. I am just an ordinary little snake, so I can't go with you."
Feng Ci realized something: "You didn't start practicing because of my words, did you?"
After picking up the little black snake that year, he checked the talent of the little black snake.
Pei Qianyue's talent is not particularly good at all. If Feng Ci hadn't given him a drop of blood, he might have been an ordinary little snake for the rest of his life.
Fengci had tried to help him transform back then, but they all failed.
It is much more difficult for living beings to cultivate into demons than ordinary mortals, so Feng Ci did not force it.
So after he came back, he was also very surprised to find that the Little Black Snake House had been cultivated into a human form, and had such a high level of cultivation and status.
Pei Qianyue said: "I want to find you."
He thought that he was left behind because of his insufficient cultivation. So during the years of being left behind, he continued to practice and study, and learned all the skills left by Feng Ci.
He thought he would be able to find him this way.
Feng Ci's throat suddenly felt a little dry, and he looked away: "Not only is he a lunatic, but he is also a fool."
Pei Qianyue just smiled, and continued: "Later, I found out that it is not easy for ordinary people to transcend the cycle of heaven. So after meeting Xue Wei, I left him and tried to find some ways from him. , or know more about the world."
It's not easy.
There are thousands of worlds in Sumeru, and Xue Wei just came from one small world, so he doesn't know too much.
But even if there is a glimmer of hope, Pei Qianyue will give it a try.
Feng Ci asked: "So the last time you used this to test me, you also wanted to know if I was the same person as Xue Wei?"
"That's not true." Pei Qianyue said, "I've almost confirmed your identity by now. This kind of probing is just to know if you will continue to lie."
Feng Ci: "..."
"It turned out to be a lie." Pei Qianyue said flatly, "Liar."
Feng Ci: "..."
How on earth does this person make people feel distressed to death at one moment, and make people want to be beaten to death at the next moment!
Feng Ci took a deep breath and decided not to argue with him.
They tossed and tossed in Hanshan Temple all night without sleep, and now they arrived at Xue's mansion, and after being infused with soothing incense, Feng Ci finally felt a little tired.
He didn't go to bed either, he just fell down on the small couch in the outer room.
Xue Mansion really deserves to be a rich merchant's family, even this small couch is more comfortable than the bed in Langfeng City.
Feng Ci leaned on the couch as if he had no bones, and looked at Pei Qianyue with his eyelids open.
The latter was still sitting in front of the table, shoulders straight, Zhang Junmei's face was calm, and from head to toe there was a frosty aloofness. But Feng Ci now knows that this relationship is childish and petty, not what it looks like on the outside.
But it's... kind of cute.
In this world, I am afraid that only Fengci will associate the word cute with Pei Qianyue.
Feng Ci thought of this, and a little smile appeared in his eyes.
"Master is watching me?"
As if sensing Feng Ci's gaze, Pei Qianyue suddenly turned his head.
Feng Ci suppressed the smile on his face, and looked away casually: "No."
Pei Qianyue got up and walked over, sat down beside the couch: "No?"
"No." Feng Ci said seriously, "I was just thinking about something serious, so don't talk nonsense."
Pei Qianyue said "Oh", and asked, "What's the business?"
Feng Ci didn't even need to make it up, just opened his mouth and said, "It's about thinking about what we should do next."
They came to Gusu to hide for leisure, but the murderer is still at large, and Shuxianmen is still facing threats.
Hanshan Temple is just one of the fairy gates that have been victimized in the past few months. These days, how many people's schools have been destroyed, and how many people have lost their loved ones like little foxes.
Thinking of this, Feng Ci looked a little more serious: "The murderer can no longer be allowed to go on like this."
"Yeah." Pei Qianyue responded lightly, and asked, "What's the master?"
Feng Ci frowned: "You asked me what to do, shouldn't this be something you, the leader of the Immortal League, should consider?"
Pei Qianyue leaned slightly, and the slender hair behind her hung down on the couch: "But the master said he was thinking about business."
Feng Ci: "..."
It seems to be oh.
Feng Ci cleared his throat and stopped joking with him.
It's not like he's completely out of ideas.
This trip to Hanshan Temple was very rewarding for them...at least for Fengci.
There are many doubts that I couldn't figure out before, but most of them have been solved by the scriptures. As for the rest, if you want to check, there is a way to find out.
But at this point, it is not important to them to investigate who the real culprit is.
More importantly, what to do and what to stop.
Feng Ci asked: "In the list of immortal sects, none of the sects ranked before Hanshan Temple were killed, right?"
Pei Qianyue: "Yes."
"Look, the murderer has told us the way to avoid death and injury." Feng Ci spread his hands.
This point was guessed before Feng resigned to Hanshan Temple.
Now the extermination of the Hanshan Temple just proves this inference.
At first, when he knew that the real murderer behind the scenes made a list for Xianmeng, and began to slaughter Xianmen one by one according to the list, Feng Ci originally thought it was the murderer's provocation against Xianmeng.
But after experiencing what happened in Hanshan Temple, he realized that he was wrong.
It's not a provocation, but a cold, high-ranking notice and warning.
The murderer is telling the Suoxianmen on the list that they must either disband or choose to join the Xianmeng, otherwise, they will die.
Feng Ci suddenly thought of another thing: "I remember that your Xianmeng only accepts new members every five years, and the sects that come to join you are assessed at every level, and the requirements are extremely high?"
"Yes." Pei Qianyue said, "So there are only two or three companies that can successfully join the Xianmeng each time."
Feng Ci: "Is the latest assessment coming soon?"
"It's still half a year before the formal assessment." Pei Qianyue paused and asked him, "What is Master thinking?"
"I was thinking, why as long as you take refuge in the Xianmeng, you can escape the catastrophe."
This year's Immortal Alliance assessment has not yet started, and some sects said that they took refuge, but they just submitted an assessment application to the Immortal Alliance. But even so, the murderer still didn't do anything to them.
"It's still half a year away." Feng Ci said in a low voice, "I remember that a family of immortals was killed, and it's been half a year since now."
That adds up to exactly one year.
And one year happened to be the time left by the Xianmeng for the major sects to submit assessment applications.
Feng Ci said: "He is here."
These fairy gates did not escape, but were temporarily let go. Because the murderer is here, after the Immortal Alliance assessment is over, we will see which sects will be eliminated.
What does he want to do? Clean out all the bad sects in the cultivation world
Feng Ci closed his eyes and did not continue.
These are just his guesses, things haven't happened yet, so it's useless to speculate too much.
The end of Pei Qianyue's long hair was hanging by Feng Ci's hand. He consciously held it for fun, and said lightly: "Publish the news of Hanshan Temple's murder and the list. Now, there is no need to hide it anymore. .”
Pei Qianyue's spirit seemed to hesitate a little, but he still nodded: "Okay."
Feng Ci saw his hesitation, and smiled: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, and I want to play tricks to lure snakes out of the hole, right?"
The murderer used a Hanshan Temple to reveal the way to avoid death and injury, but it also exposed his next target of action.
Now they only need to check, which sect in the list has neither the willingness to join the Immortal League nor dismiss the disciples, and then go to ambush in advance, and then the murderer will come to the door by himself.
But once the list is made public, the immortal sect who didn't know it would be able to come to their current conclusion with a little investigation. In order to protect themselves, they can only choose the same approach.
In this way, the murderer loses the target, and they also lose the bait.
Feng Ci grabbed Pei Qianyue's long hair and reprimanded: "How did you become the leader of the Immortal League? How can you use living people as bait?"
Pei Qianyue was pulled down by him and lowered his head, leaning on Feng Ci's side: "Well, the master taught me a lesson."
As he approached like this, the distance between the two of them was pulled extremely close in an instant. Feng Ci didn't hide, just looked at him with a smile.
None of them moved, and the air was filled with a faint incense, steaming the atmosphere a bit sticky.
Pei Qianyue raised his hand slowly, and gently slid his palm across Feng Ci's arms and shoulders, groped his face little by little, and touched Feng Ci's eyes.
His cold fingertips brushed over his eyelashes, making him itchy.
"Master is really looking at me." Pei Qianyue said.
Feng Ci replied confidently: "You are my snake, can't I have a look?"
Not only to look, but also to look carefully.
Feng Ci's gaze went up inch by inch, from the complicated clothes, the slender neck, the sharp lips, and finally... it fell on the black silk covering his eyes.
Feng Ci's eyes dimmed, and he asked in a low voice, "How...how did your eyes hurt?"
Pei Qianyue's movements froze for a while, as if he felt uncomfortable. But he quickly returned to normal, and asked: "If you tell me, will the master avenge me?"
Feng Ci: "I crushed him to ashes."
Pei Qianyue laughed softly.
Feng Ci frowned: "I'm serious."
"Well, I know." Pei Qianyue said, "Master's words are enough."
Feng Ci: "You—"
"It's all over." Pei Qianyue gently rubbed the side of Feng Ci's face with his fingertips, "If this is the price of reuniting with you, I think it's worth it."
cost
Feng Ci vaguely heard something from his words. His face darkened, and he grabbed Pei Qianyue's hand: "What do you mean by that, your eyes..."
Before he finished speaking, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the yard, as if someone was running over in a hurry.
"City Lord, my father has returned to the mansion. I heard that you have arrived at the mansion, but I want to come over to your side. It is inconvenient for you to see—"
When Feng Ci just came in, he didn't close the door, Xue Weiwei ran to the door while talking, but was stunned.
His face flushed instantly, and he twisted his head vigorously: "Okay...Okay, I get it! I'll let him go out now—"
Feng Ci: "..."
Pei Qianyue: "..."
