At night.
It rains.
It's very quiet in the inn.
Only a few residents were eating.
In room No. 2, Tianzi, upstairs, there was a table of delicious food.
Yao Guanhai picked up the wine cup and smashed it in his mouth. Ah Kong buried his head and groaned. There was a mess in front of him. Ru Yanqing stood and stretched out his hands to pick up green vegetables and tofu. Jiang Wang took advantage of the situation and handed the plate over. The little fish chewed slowly, and the two Hear nothing about what is happening outside the window.
Su Changluo had eaten and drank enough. He sat next to him and practiced very hard with his eyes closed.
Xie Wuxing, on the other hand, had no appetite. He sat halfway on the window sill, with one foot on the window edge and his arms on his knees. He tilted his head slightly and stared outside, letting the raindrops brush against his face, showing a sense of sadness.
"If the person named Mo is not mistaken, the monster is hidden very deep. He can sense it. Something happened at that time, which caused the monster's energy to be exposed for a short time. It is normal that he can't find it at this moment."
Yao Guanhai picked his teeth with a bamboo stick and spoke vaguely.
Jiang Wang also turned to look at Xie Wuxing and comforted: "We haven't found it yet. It's just the monster's problem. Don't worry too much."
Xie Wuxing said: "I really didn't care."
Jiang Wang wondered: "Then why are you looking so sad?"
Xie Wuxing sighed lightly and said, "I'm not clean anymore."
"?"
Su Changluo, who was practicing, suddenly opened his eyes.
Except for Kong, who was immersed in eating, the others all paid their attention in a tacit understanding.
Jiang Wang was shocked and said: "Such a thing actually happened?! Which girl is blind... Um, who did this to you?"
Xie Wuxing said in embarrassment: "Where do you want to go!"
Jiang Wang said blankly: "Is it different from what I thought?"
Xie Wuxing said angrily: "Of course not!"
Jiang Wang asked curiously: "Then can you tell me in detail what happened?"
Xie Wuxing fell into memories.
...
After entering the city, Xie Wuxing did not delay for a moment. He flew straight to the highest point and overlooked the entire city.
Thinking about his identity as the true successor of the Sword Pavilion, he has a pair of condensed sword eyes. Although the sword eyes are of low grade and cannot directly pierce the evil spirits of monsters, they should be able to make ordinary monsters unable to escape. Generally, monks rely on perception or talismans to use swords. As long as a scholar has eyes, that's fine.
But until Xie Wuxing stared until his eyes were sore, he didn't see a monster.
"Something's wrong."
It is true that big monsters are better at hiding. Unless there are special circumstances, there are very few people in the county who can see them. After all, apart from planning to attack the city, many monks will never have the chance to meet the big monster until they die. Monsters like Zhuan Yong, etc. It's quite common, and it's the easiest thing to be easily wiped out by passing monks.
But if they don't cause any trouble, there will always be fish that slip through the net.
It's okay if we don't find the big demon, but if there aren't even monsters, Jicheng would be too clean.
After all, Mo Baipao is a monk at the peak of Dongming, so there is no need to doubt that there is a mistake. Besides, even if the monsters found in Jicheng leave, it is impossible to take away all the monsters, right?
Monsters are stored in ancient artifacts. If the conditions are not met, they will hardly harm people everywhere. They can only occupy one-third of an acre. It will not happen overnight to sweep away all the ancient artifacts that contain ghosts.
The situation is abnormal and even more demonic.
Xie Wuxing realized that there might really be a very high-level monster hiding in Ji City.
He was slightly timid.
Facing the monsters in the snow bathing realm, he had no chance of winning.
Fortunately, he found the monster, and he didn't compete with Jiang Wang to see who could kill the monster first. Monsters in the Cave Underworld were just a matter of swordsmanship. In the Snow Bathing Realm, of course it had to depend on Jiang Wang.
With this idea in mind, Xie Wuxing observed several places where monsters were most likely to be hiding, and then eliminated them one by one.
He came to a deep alley somewhere and bumped into someone as soon as he entered the corner.
"Ouch!"
With a cry of pain, an old woman fell to the ground.
"Are you okay?" Xie Wuxing hurriedly stepped forward to help.
The old woman grabbed Xie Wuxing's arm while moaning, as if she was aware of it, and she began to squeeze left and right. Xie Wuxing was shocked, and when he lowered his eyes and saw that the old woman was about to attack her vital point, he suddenly pushed her away. , said with shame and anger: "Old lady, please respect yourself!"
"Warrior? No, it turned out to be a swordsman." The old woman was very energetic at the moment. She smiled and said: "You hit me, you have to take responsibility."
Xie Wuxing looked at the old woman in disbelief, "Do you want face?"
Good guy, when you come up, you touch me and make me responsible for you. You treat me as my grandmother. I think you are too old.
The old woman smiled and said: "You can't do this kind of thing if you want to lose face."
Xie Wuxing felt a chill, and he turned around and left.
But two figures like hills suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley, blocking his way.
Xie Wuxing frowned, "Second level martial artist?"
The old woman said: "We are destined to meet each other. Don't even think about leaving."
Xie Wuxing glanced back at the old woman and said coldly: "I want to leave, and no one can stop me."
There are second-level warriors who follow and protect him, thinking that the old woman should belong to a wealthy family. Even though his wife may be gone, he is very ashamed of the old woman's children and grandchildren for such behavior. It would be even more shameful if his wife is still alive.
He strode forward and stretched out his hand to pull aside the second-level warrior who was blocking the way.
But the two men remained motionless.
"Huh?" Xie Wuxing was a little surprised and couldn't help but increase his strength, but the result did not change at all.
He drew the sword directly. One of them reached out to grab the sword at the same time, and the other held Xie Wuxing's shoulder.
The old woman smiled and said: "Being obedient is your only choice."
Xie Wuxing sneered and said: "The second-level martial artist can only let Qi stick to the surface. Even though his skin is like iron, he is still vulnerable on the inside. Perhaps because of his tall body, he is stronger than ordinary martial artists, but In my eyes, they are no different than useless people."
There was a trace of sword intent pouring into the sword. Xie Wuxing had no intention of taking anyone's life. His purpose was just to repel the two warriors, but it was enough to seriously injure the two men and teach them a profound lesson.
But soon Xie Wuxing looked sluggish.
The blade of the sword was still in the warrior's hand, and the warrior holding his shoulders became stronger, making his legs heavy.
Something weird!
Only then did he stare seriously at the faces of the two warriors.
Very pale, extremely abnormally pale.
His eyes were both lively and dull, and after looking at them for a long time, he even felt a little nervous.
Xie Wuxing didn't think much and directly used Xihe Sword Intention. The two warriors broke through the wall and after a few struggles there was no movement.
He suddenly turned around, and there was no sign of the old woman in front of him.
But somewhere in front of a mansion, there was a young man standing.
...
Jiang Wang and Xiao Yu looked at each other as if they had a clear understanding.
"Old woman?"
"That's right." Xie Wuxing said with a gloomy face: "I suspect that they are monsters. The two second-level warriors blocking the way have lost their energy and blood. They can have such horizontal strength by burning their energy and blood. In other words, they use their lives. In exchange for strength.”
"What's strange to me the most is that if that old woman is a demon, I had close contact with her, but I didn't detect the slightest trace of demonic aura." Xie Wuxing looked at Jiang Wang and said seriously: "Jicheng has Big problem."
Jiang Wang nodded and said: "There is indeed a problem. She talks about fate with you but doesn't talk to me. There is a big problem."
Xie Wuxing looked confused, "What are you talking about?"
Xiaoyu said: "We also met that old woman, but we didn't find the problem at the time. After hearing your experience, the probability that she is a monster is indeed very high."
Xie Wuxing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said happily: "She turned a blind eye to Brother Jiang, but made me responsible. It seems that I am more lovable than Brother Jiang. Your face has grown in vain."
Jiang Wang said: "...As long as you are happy."
It was late at night and everyone fell asleep.
Jiang Wang silently watched the long night in front of the window.
In the quiet night, the sound of falling rain is even more crisp.
He climbed over the window and was about to fly out, but suddenly frowned, and then went up to the roof.
Su Changluo stood on a high place, with dragons as big as small snakes circling around him. Rich Qi fell with raindrops, all of them condensed around Su Changluo, and circulated several times with every breath and breath.
Jiang Wang looked at it for a while and said: "Sleep when it's time to sleep. Even if you have to practice hard, don't tire yourself out."
Su Changluo opened his eyes and hurriedly greeted him. When he raised his head again, his expression was different and he said: "The voice and smile of Grandpa Zhangji often appear. I should work harder and become stronger so that I can settle accounts with the Shentu clan."
Jiang Wang thought for a moment and said, "It seems that I haven't really taught you until now, so let's take this opportunity."
Su Changluo looked surprised. Finally, if the teacher didn't mention this, he would suspect that the teacher didn't want to teach at all.
Jiang Wang said calmly: "Practice as a teacher is different from ordinary people, you have to be prepared."
Su Changluo straightened his back and said, "Always be ready!"
Jiang Wang nodded and said, "Follow me."
He skimmed down the roof.
Su Changluo followed closely behind.
Walking on a rainy night, his clothes are always stained because the raindrops avoid Jiang Wang.
Seeing this, Su Changluo got closer.
He didn't ask anything and silently followed the teacher slowly forward.
Until we came to a deep alley.
Su Changluo couldn't help but asked: "Teacher, what are we doing here?"
Jiang Wang said: "Conquer the demon, and I will teach you how to practice."
Su Changluo said in surprise: "Teacher, has he found the monster?"
Jiang Wang did not answer, but stood in front of a certain mansion.
Su Changluo raised his head and went up to the Rangsi Mansion.
After standing quietly for a while, Su Changluo was about to ask again when he heard some movement on the wall. He looked around and saw a head exposed on the wall, and then an oil-paper umbrella covered the head.
It was a young man, staring at them expressionlessly.
Jiang Wang looked at the boy on the wall and said calmly: "You deliberately lured me here. Are you confident that I can save you?"
The young man said: "You have no chance of winning, and I don't want you to save me."
Jiang Wang chuckled lightly and said: "So the Yanshan Lord is in the Yanshan Mansion? No wonder Jicheng is so weird. I think all the evil spirits in Jicheng are covered by the Yanshan Lord, but I don't know if it is under the command of the Yanshan Lord or the big one. Lucky wild monster?"
"Lin Gaocen, right? I must have remembered correctly. At that time, he was just a mortal, but now he is responsible for practicing. Did you learn it secretly, or did Lord Yanshan teach you?"
Lin Gaocen said: "Do you think I can hide it?"
Jiang Wang said clearly: "Then Mr. Yanshan should be aware of the fact that you deliberately lured me here."
Although his tone was calm, his heart was tense.
He didn't know it was Lin Gaocen when he came, so naturally he didn't expect Yanshan Lord. Whether it was Lin Gaocen's own idea or Yanshan Lord's instruction, this matter was not normal.
Lin Gaocen said directly: "It was indeed Mr. Yanshan who asked me to lure you here."
Under the umbrella, I reached the wall, and the voice came again, "Climb over the wall and come in, you are the only one."
Jiang Wang narrowed his eyes slightly.
Su Changluo said nervously: "Teacher, what is the situation now?"
Jiang Wang said: "Mr. Yanshan is the demon king, so you have to make some preparations."
Su Changluo widened his eyes and said, "Is this also part of spiritual practice?"
Jiang Wang said: "Although there was a little accident, the matter of teaching you practice remains unchanged. I will wait here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he climbed over the wall and entered the house.
Soon, fine raindrops hit Su Changluo's face, and he felt so cold.
So he ran to take shelter under the eaves of the mansion gate.
He took a breath, and suddenly there was light outside the alley. The carriage drove in slowly, with lanterns hanging on the edge of the carriage. Su Changluo stared closely. The carriage stopped in front of the house, and the driver looked at him with strange eyes. Then the stools were moved out, the oil-paper umbrellas were held up, and the car curtains were lifted.
It was a face that had not been put on makeup but was still very fair. Under the faint light of the lantern, it had a different kind of beauty.
Su Changluo watched her get off the carriage with dull eyes, then held an umbrella and came to the eaves.
Some people died, but not completely...
