Lin Qi noticed the flash of killing intent on Senior Sister Yuan Xi and looked up at her in surprise.
But he didn't see any strange color on Senior Sister Yuan Xi's face.
"If it's a gang of evil cultivators, why do they commit crimes every ten days? Today doesn't seem to be the tenth day? Why do they commit crimes suddenly again?"
Lin Qi remembered that the crime time recorded on the scroll was usually at night, only today it was during the day.
After thinking about it, the senior brother from the Affairs Hall said: "This matter is indeed strange. It stands to reason that the real time to commit the crime will be after three days, and the thieves never commit crimes during the day..."
"Tengu eats the sun!"
Everyone thought of this at the same time!
The Lord of Mincheng leaned back with one hand and his face was cold and solemn, as if he had thought of something terrible.
"Could it be...that they are sacrificing something?"
Only large-scale evil spirits would choose such a special day, and the wine theft and murder incident in Midtown lasted for three years, so they may not be preparing for this sacrifice!
When he thought of this possibility, the city lord of Mincheng didn't want to wait any longer and directly tore open a space and sent it straight to Luo City.
When Lin Qi wanted to follow Senior Sister Yuan Xi back to rest, she suddenly found a vague gaze falling on her.
She turned her head suddenly and met San Xiu Mujin's dark and unpredictable eyes.
Senior sister Yuan Xi was alarmed by her movements and looked over.
She blocked Lin Qi behind her and said in an unpleasant tone: "What are you looking at?!"
Mu Jin walked out from under the eaves, and the dim light shrouded his angular face, exuding an aura of both righteousness and evil.
He suddenly raised his lips and smiled, and spoke slowly: "Only children under the age of five can smell the fragrance of ghost-faced horses and musk deer. Since your junior sister is a monk, she must be over five years old, right?"
Senior Sister Yuan Xi's expression remained unchanged, and she looked away calmly, "The worst thing in this world is a person with extraordinary talents. My junior sister is born with the ability to smell all kinds of strange fragrances. What does it mean to be a ghost-faced horse-musk deer? How long is the Taoist priest? Give me some insight.”
As an adult, Chen Yun can smell the fragrance of ghost-faced horses and musk deer, so can Lin Qi!
Fuss!
"Oh, is it so?"
Mu Jin glanced at Lin Qi behind Yuan Xi, chuckled, and turned around to enter the small courtyard.
After returning to the room, Lin Qi found that Senior Sister Yuan Xi was particularly dull today.
"Senior sister, are you worried that Mu Jin will guess my real age?"
It is rare in the Cangwu world to have spiritual roots and be able to practice at the age of four. If exposed, Lin Qi could predict how dangerous she would be.
She was impulsive when she smelled the fragrance today and didn't think about what happened next.
Senior sister Yuan Xi reached out and gently touched Lin Qi's head, with a gentle smile on her lips, "It's not because of him."
"Xiao Qi, please meditate and practice quickly. Senior sister will protect you. Stop thinking wildly."
Lin Qi always felt that Senior Sister Yuan Xi was preoccupied today, but Senior Sister Yuan Xi refused to tell her, and it was hard for her to pursue her questions.
Yuan Xi stood up and lit a piece of Jingshen incense for Lin Qi. It was prescribed by today's old doctor. He said it could help Lin Qi calm down and be less susceptible to the influence of the sword energy in his body.
With the help of Jing Shenxiang, Lin Qi quickly became immersed in the state of cultivation.
Senior sister Yuan Xi sat quietly at the table, staring indifferently at the Jingshen incense that was burning away bit by bit.
Time passed unconsciously, and only a little of the incense burned.
She picked up the sword on the table, stood up slowly, and walked out of the door.
Lin Qi, who was immersed in practice, didn't notice any movement.
Yuan Xi raised his hand to place a barrier in Lin Qi's room, glanced at Luo Ci in the next room, and quietly left the Jiuzhongxian Pavilion.
Chen Yun received the news shortly after she left. He fiddled with the golden abacus on the table and asked casually: "Where is the fifth young master?"
The subordinate replied: "Still sleeping!"
"Okay, let's go down. What does the guest want to do, and what does it have to do with us?"
Chen Yun glanced out the window leisurely, "You just need to use the head to ensure the safety of the fifth young master."
"yes!"
…
Yuan Xi came to a small courtyard quietly. There were lonely trees and no people in the courtyard. Only the light in one room was on.
She landed by the window, her eyes slightly lowered, and her fingertips rubbed the hilt of the sword.
At this moment, the lights in the room suddenly went out.
After a few breaths, a figure walked out of the door. This person was the casual cultivator Mu Jin whom he had seen during the day.
Yuan Xi gathered her breath and followed quietly.
Mu Jin hurried all the way to the outskirts of the city.
Yuan Xi remembered that there was a Luojiao Lake on the outskirts of the city. It was not small in area and was surrounded by mountains. It was home to many monsters.
What was Mu Jin doing heading to that place in the middle of the night?
The two of them walked and followed each other, and half an hour passed before they knew it.
From a distance, Yuan Xi could vaguely see the sparkling lake.
Mu Jin turned his back to her, holding a sword in his hand, and stood by the lake without moving.
"You've been following me for so long, aren't you ready to come out?"
His deep voice, blessed by spiritual energy, accurately reached Yuan Xi's ears.
She no longer hid and appeared behind Mu Jin.
Mu Jin held his sword and turned around, with a faint smile on his face, "Is it because of what I said during the day that you want to kill someone?"
Yuan Xi looked at him with deep eyes and did not answer.
Mu Jin chuckled, with a slightly disdainful tone: "Sect disciples are nothing more than that. What's the difference between this sect and us casual cultivators?"
Yuan Xi looked at him quietly, "What do you think a sect disciple should be like? Both casual cultivators and sect monks should know one thing."
"What's the matter?" Mu Jin smiled with contempt and carelessness.
The next second, a cold light hit the sky, and the dazzling light stimulated people's eyes.
Mu Jin subconsciously raised his hands to cover his eyes. In an instant, danger rushed to his throat.
Only then did I slowly hear a reply.
"Those who know too much will not live long!"
Mu Jin blocked the tip of the sword with the hilt of his sword. The powerful impact made him retreat quickly. At the same time, a cold breath eroded along his hand and into the bones.
Soon, the hand holding his sword was covered with a thin layer of ice.
Mu Jin no longer held back his hand, the long sword was unsheathed with a hiss, and a strong murderous intent swept around him instantly.
When Yuan Xi saw this sword with strong killing intent, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
It was this sword that almost made Xiao Qi go crazy!
With the blessing of anger, Senior Sister Yuan Xi's golden elixir cultivation was fully revealed.
She turned around and slashed with her sword, and the turbulent water waves in the lake swept half of the sky, turning into a water dragon and roaring towards Mu Jin.
Mu Jin was only one step away from falling into the lake. His body suddenly spun and merged with the sword in his hand.
The strong murderous intent in his body turned into sword energy, and he slashed towards the water waves.
The long sword cuts off the water, and the cold light shines on the moon!
Two sword sounds seemed to be heard in the night sky.
After the crisp collision sound, the majestic spiritual energy vibrated.
Wow!
Mu Jin was splashed with lake water, and he was directly impacted and fell into the Jiao Lake.
Yuan Xi's sword spun in the air and returned to his hand, and he unconsciously took two steps back.
In the first move, Yuan Xi had the upper hand.
