Two days later.
More than ten miles outside Xingluo Town.
On a deserted hill.
"Hoo ho ho!"
A female nun stumbled forward, looking back in panic from time to time.
There were many blood stains on her body, and it was obvious that she had just experienced a rather embarrassing fight.
This female cultivator's name is Xue Yan. She is twenty years old this year. Her cultivation talent is average and she has just practiced Qi at the third level.
Because her family has lived in Xingluo Town for generations, with her parents and grandparents living there, Xue Yan doesn't have any ambitions to seek spiritual advancement.
Xingluo Town is located on the main road out of the north and is much more prosperous than the neighboring towns. Xue Yan is also quite happy in Xingluo Town.
Today, she went out with some friends to go outing in the suburbs, but several thieves in black appeared out of nowhere. These thieves were all in the late stage of Qi training, and several of Xue Yan's friends were all arrested.
Xue Yan immediately thought of the frequent disappearances of female nuns that happened recently. It was said that the missing female nuns only suffered disasters when they were walking alone. She did not expect that today, when several people were walking together, the gangsters were so rampant.
In a panic, Xue Yan fled to this deserted hill.
Several thieves were chasing after her. Xue Yan was already injured. Now she was so panicked and exhausted that she could no longer escape.
"It's over!"
She felt desperate and shed tears. Suddenly, a clear voice sounded from a dense forest nearby:
"come here!"
Xue Yan looked sideways and saw an abandoned Taoist temple in the dense forest. At this time, a girl was waving to her. Xue Yan ran into the Taoist temple without thinking too much.
With a creak, the Taoist temple door closed.
A moment later, several masked male cultivators in black clothes appeared from the mountain road below. They did not notice the dilapidated Taoist temple hidden by the dense forest, and continued to chase them up the mountain.
In the Taoist temple, Xue Yan, who was peeking out through the window, breathed a sigh of relief and held her hands towards the beautiful girl:
"Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist. Could you please give me your surname? I can repay you in the future!"
This girl had clear eyebrows, pure and delicate features. Just as she was about to speak, a charming and weak voice came from beside her:
"Xiao Xue'er, practice quickly to recover from your injuries."
Xue Yan turned around and saw a female cultivator sitting cross-legged behind her. Her eyes widened in surprise.
The dress on this female cultivator was somewhat tattered and stained with blood, but it could not hide her natural charm. Even though her face was pale, her red phoenix eyes were still full of charm.
Although Xue Yan is also a woman, she can't help but feel a little absent-minded.
"Fellow Taoist, they have left. You should run down the mountain quickly."
The girl nodded apologetically to Xue Yan, walked to sit down next to the charming woman, and continued to practice cross-legged.
These two people were Fang Xue and Si Minglan.
Two days ago, on Xiyue Peak, when she was about to be caught by Zheng Shengmo, Fang Xue used the Thousand Mile Talisman given to her by Qiu Zhihe.
The two of them rushed out of Xiyue Peak and out of Zhenyang City in an instant.
It's just that this Thousand Miles Talisman has no fixed number, and it will randomly escape after being activated.
Fang Xue and Si Minglan were actually sent thousands of miles away to this hill on the outskirts of Xingluo Town.
The two were seriously injured and unable to gather their spiritual power. They needed at least ten days of rest to recover.
Fortunately, this hill was deserted and undisturbed. Fang Xue found an abandoned Taoist temple on the mountain that could provide shelter from wind and rain, so the two temporarily lived in this Taoist temple.
Xue Yan was being chased just now. Fang Xue wanted to help her after hearing this, but Si Minglan disagreed. The two of them had not recovered their cultivation. If the other party had malicious intentions, how could they resist?
However, Si Minglan was rescued by Fang Xue twice, but he couldn't bear to mess with her, so there was a scene where Fang Xue opened the door and rescued Xue Yan.
"Thank you two fellow Taoists for saving me."
Seeing this, Xue Yan knew that it was not convenient for him to stay for a long time. After saluting again, he opened the door and went out.
"Third Senior Sister, wouldn't it be dangerous if she goes out and encounters someone chasing her again?"
After Xue Yan left, Fang Xue couldn't help but said to Si Minglan.
"Haha." Si Minglan snorted coldly:
"Xiao Xue'er, we don't know who she is or why those people are chasing her. Saving her once is the end of kindness and justice. There are so many injustices in the world. If you don't care about one thing when you see it, it's because you don't care about your lifespan. Too long?"
Fang Xue was about to speak when she heard a creak and the Taoist temple door was pushed open again, but it was Xue Yan who left and returned.
"Oops, they found me!"
Xue Yan panicked, and several shouts sounded outside the Taoist temple:
"There is a Taoist temple here, no wonder we didn't find that woman just now!"
Apparently, Xue Yan was discovered by the pursuers as soon as she went out. In a panic, she ran into the Taoist temple in front of the pursuers. Now she has implicated Fang Xue and Si Minglan who were hiding inside.
"I knew it!"
Si Minglan snorted coldly and said to Xue Yan:
"Those people are here to arrest you. It's none of our business. Just go out and follow them!"
Xue Yan said in panic: "Fellow Taoist, you don't know that many female cultivators have disappeared in Xingluo Town recently. Most of these people are villains who specialize in catching female cultivators. You two will not be spared if they are discovered. We'd better hide quickly." Bar!"
Fang Xue was dumbfounded and looked at Si Minglan guiltily: "Third Senior Sister, I'm sorry."
She was too naive. She just wanted to save people, but didn't think too much about it.
Only then did he realize that the person he saved seemed to have harmed him in turn?
"I'm sorry, you two. I really have nowhere to escape. Let's hide!"
Xue Yan knelt down on her knees and kowtowed to the two of them to apologize. Rumors about the disappearance of the female cultivators in Xingluo Town were horrifying. It was said that the female cultivators were thrown to monsters after being insulted. She couldn't imagine what would happen to her if she was caught. .
Fang Xue helped Si Minglan stand up. Si Minglan had previously forcibly upgraded her cultivation level to Nascent Soul, and blocked Zheng Shengmo's palm for her. Now her whole body was weak and she could not stand firmly.
"Third Senior Sister, in this Taoist temple, only the rosette under the bronze statue can hide people."
This Taoist temple is very small, just a small hall, with nowhere to hide. Fang Xue has checked it before, and there is only a bronze statue in the corner.
This bronze statue shows a woman sitting cross-legged on a huge lotus. There is a hollow under the lotus seat, which can hide people.
"Let's hide in quickly!"
When Xue Yan heard this, she immediately ran behind the bronze statue. The bottom of the lotus flower could indeed be opened, and she quickly got in.
Fang Xue helped Si Minglan go over. At this time, the footsteps outside were getting closer and closer. Xue Yan was so frightened that she closed the small door under the rosette at once!
"you"
Fang Xue was stunned. At this moment, the door of the Taoist temple was kicked open with a bang.
Several male cultivators in black rushed in and were startled when they saw Fang Xue and Si Minglan, "Not that little girl?"
One of them, who seemed to be the leader, suddenly laughed ferociously: "These two women are much more beautiful, wouldn't it be better to capture them back?"
The others also nodded repeatedly and stepped forward to restrain Fang Xue and Si Minglan.
The two of them were unable to use their spiritual power at this time and could only surrender. These people searched the Taoist temple again and found nothing. Fang Xue and Si Minglan asked:
"Hey, where was that woman just now?"
At this time, Xue Yan, who was under the rosette, was trembling all over, feeling desperate.
But I heard a sneer from outside, followed by that clear and clear voice:
"She's gone."
Then came a man's voice: "Forget it, I left one mediocre one and caught two smart ones, so I made a profit, let's go!"
Soon, Fang Xue and Si Minglan were taken away.
Peace returned to the Taoist temple.
Only the sound of desperately suppressed crying could be heard from under the lotus seat.
"sorry Sorry"
