It's okay not to say it. After saying that, the smile on Yuan Xi's face completely disappeared.
"She practices Tai Chi swordsmanship. How can she understand such a murderous sword intention? And have you ever seen any righteous monk who can practice the killing sword intention?"
It was because she saw Mu Jin with strong murderous intent in the courtyard that Yuan Xi subconsciously felt that he was not a good person.
"Why can't righteous monks practice the killing sword intention?!" Lin Qi raised her head and looked at Senior Sister Yuan Xi, her eyes full of perseverance.
When they left Zonglei Peak, it was time for the seal at the bottom of the Killing Ice Abyss to be reinforced, and all the Nascent Soul Lords from the sect who were not in retreat went down to the Killing Ice Abyss.
If Lin Qi wanted to solve this problem all at once, it would be more troublesome and time-consuming than imagined.
She didn't want to delay Senior Sister Yuan Xi's mission.
She held Senior Sister Yuan Xi's hand tightly, "Senior Sister, I think I can do it!"
This is not blind confidence.
Lin Qi estimated that she touched the threshold of the sword intent that day when she was resting in the inn, and that was why she was so easily affected by the killing sword intent today.
Now that she has reached the threshold, it shouldn't be that difficult to just absorb a sword intention, right?
She asked the doctor beside her, "If you help suppress it, how long will it take for me to understand the sword's intention?"
The doctor touched his beard and said with a smile: "How dare you, little friend? Since you are not afraid, I won't hide it from the old man. I have a unique set of acupuncture techniques that can help you keep the spiritual energy in your body stable for a month."
A month? !
"enough!"
Lin Qi said confidently, "Senior sister, if I fail to understand the sword's intention in a month, and the master comes out of the Ice Killing Abyss, your task should be almost completed by then, and we will return to the sect together."
Senior Sister Yuan Xi felt it was inappropriate and was about to refuse when she ran into Lin Qi's black and white eyes.
Yuan Xi saw the familiar stubbornness and eagerness to try in Lin Qi's crystal clear eyes.
She pondered for a long time before saying one word: "Okay..."
Lin Qi breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Then I heard Senior Sister Yuan Xi say: "Then let's make a three-chapter agreement first."
Lin Qi nodded, "No problem!"
"First, I will write a book about this matter to the master immediately and ask the master for his opinion. If the master wants you to return to the sect, you must set off."
"Second, you are not allowed to interfere in the investigation of the stolen alcoholic beasts. Please rest in peace during this period."
"Third... you have to be more obedient!"
Yuan Xi only thought that Luo Ci might be a bit difficult to deal with before, but after coming out, he realized that Lin Qi was the one with big ideas.
She is usually well-behaved and obedient, but when it comes to what she wants to do, even eight horses can't pull her back.
Luo Ci could still fool him for a while, but Lin Qi had to be careful about being fooled by her.
After listening to the three chapters of Senior Sister Yuan Xi's agreement, Lin Qi almost raised her hands and swore that she would be obedient.
After struggling for a long time, the group returned to Anding Street two hours later.
The City Lord's Mansion had already sent people to surround the courtyard.
As soon as Lin Qi followed Senior Sister Yuan Xi into the courtyard, she saw a row of corpses covered with white cloth, and two widowers were doing autopsy in the middle.
She walked towards her senior brother from the affairs hall and said, "Senior brother, what's going on?"
Senior Brother from the Affairs Hall shook his head and said: "It's still the same. There are no clues except some large monster beast footprints at the scene. We still arrived too late!"
Senior Sister Yuan Xi glanced at the child's body and asked, "What happened to this beast boy?"
People around the Lord of the City of Ming explained: "The Ming Beast will not kill children under five years old, but these children will eventually turn into very aggressive beast boys for no apparent reason. Many monks have fallen victim to this trick in the past."
"Inexplicably turned into a beast boy?"
Yuan Xi repeated these words. Why did she feel that the formation of Beast Boy was closely related to the fragrance mentioned by Chen Yun.
She asked the senior fellow from the office: "Did any of you smell a fragrance at the scene?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Yuan Xi frowned and suddenly found that his sleeve had been pulled off.
"Xiaoqi, what's wrong with you?"
Senior sister Yuan Xi thought something was wrong with Lin Qi, so she lowered her head and asked quickly.
Lin Qi closed her eyes, holding Senior Sister Yuan Xi's hand and walking in a certain direction.
Finally, the two of them walked to a big tree. Lin Qi closed her eyes and touched a small piece of soil and handed it to Senior Sister Yuan Xi.
"This stuff smells good!"
Yuan Xi squeezed the dirt on his hand, full of doubts: "Xiao Qi, are you sure?"
Lin Qi nodded affirmatively, "It's very light, but I'm sure the scent comes from here! It smells very uncomfortable to me, a bit manic..."
"What?!"
Senior sister Yuan Xi took out a handkerchief from her arms and quickly wrapped the things, "Xiao Qi, go out and take a rest first!"
"good."
Lin Qi nodded honestly and reminded Yuan Xi: "Senior sister, you can ask an alchemist what this is."
Things on monsters can generally be used to make elixirs. The alchemist is well-informed, so he may not be able to recognize the fragrance at a glance.
After being reminded by Lin Qi, Yuan Xi immediately went to discuss with his senior brother from the Affairs Hall and the Lord of Mincheng.
The city lord of Mincheng was very interested in this matter and soon got the news from an alchemist.
"This is the musk produced by the Grimace Musk Musk. It is extremely lethal and can charm the mind and make people die in fantasy. Children under five years old will develop animalistic nature after smelling it and attack people everywhere. But those over five years old will People can’t detect its fragrance.”
The Lord of the City of Ming was overjoyed, "Grimace, Horse and Musk?! The symptoms are all consistent. Could it be that the Ming Thief Beast is it?!"
The alchemist had also heard about the thief beast and shook his head in the affirmative.
"The grimace musk deer is suspicious by nature and likes to eat delicacies. It is not aggressive in itself. The musk deer is just a tool for self-protection and has no interest in devouring human heads."
If Senior Sister Yuan Xi realizes something, "What if someone uses Ghostface Ma Musk to kill people?"
"With the help of Ghostface Ma Musk, he killed people and beheaded them quietly, and then blamed everything on the monsters, misleading everyone into thinking that everything was done by the monsters. This is why the culprit has never been found."
The most important thing is the scent.
People over the age of five cannot smell it. They fall unconscious in the illusion and are beheaded and killed.
Anyone under the age of five will turn into a beast boy if they smell it, unable to tell anything even if they know something.
No wonder they haven't found any clues after searching for so long!
The Lord of Mincheng clapped his hands and suddenly realized: "This is really the case!"
After saying that, his face suddenly darkened.
He gritted his teeth and said, "This matter must be reported to Luo City as soon as possible. I'm afraid something big will happen to Mincheng!"
Everyone's mood was extremely heavy at this moment.
If the monster kills and eats the head, it is just a simple case, just solve the monster.
But if someone did it, it would be very serious.
Why did the mastermind take away all the heads after killing someone?
The brutality and ruthlessness of his actions make people think of him involuntarily as an evil cultivator.
He has committed so many crimes but has not been found out. It is very likely that he is an evil cultivator gang.
A second-class city in Mincheng was quietly eroded by evil cultivators. If word spread, it would probably cause turmoil in the entire South Continent.
Yuan Xi also didn't expect that he would dig out such a big thing just by taking on a simple task.
But...an evil cultivator?
Thinking of these two words, she chilled her eyes and tightly held the sword in her hand.
