The wind is a bit strong tonight.
Mirages were blown everywhere.
"Manager Xu, the few times we went in before, we just walked in and didn't go inside the store to explore. This time, Uncle Linchun said we could explore all these stores one by one."
But in this case, it will definitely be very time-consuming.
And I probably wouldn’t be able to check a few in one night.
Xu Qiuqian nodded.
She also felt that it was right to visit each store one by one.
Because they don't know where the source of the mirage comes from, it may come from anywhere, so careful investigation is necessary.
"Do you have any way to tell the difference?"
"The thicker the mirage, the closer it is to the source of the mirage. It's just that we didn't persist in the past few times. The store in front of us should not be the source of the mirage."
Xu Qiuqian hummed, "Let's check everything just in case."
"I think so too."
While talking, the two entered the first store.
Dust blew in my face.
Fortunately, several people were holding their breath to try not to inhale the mirage, so they were not choked by the dust.
The first store was larger than Xu Qiuqian's grocery store, almost three times the size of her grocery store.
Xu Qiuqian couldn't help but feel envious.
Her current store is too small, but after the number of customers increased, it could no longer accommodate it.
If more people came to the store, there would be nowhere for people to stand!
No, she can't let the store become an obstacle to her selling goods!
Expanding the store must be put on the agenda.
Xu Qiuqian came back to her senses and looked around.
The ground, tables and chairs were all dusty, and the shelves were dusty and even had spider webs. Going inside, the same was true in the backyard, but there was no second floor in the backyard of this store.
After going in and seeing nothing unusual, everyone left.
Less than a quarter of an hour after entering, a disciple of Wenji Sect expressed that he was a little confused.
Fortunately, I was well prepared and after taking a Qingxin Pill, the chaos gradually faded away.
Next is the second and third house.
As expected, nothing unusual was found.
When I checked the seventh house on the left, even the Qingxin Pill was useless. The Three Soul Bells could only wake people up for about half a quarter of an hour at most, and once their minds fell into chaos, even if they woke up, there would still be some traces. sequelae.
The specific manifestation is that I always feel that I have seen something strange.
Xu Qiuqian asked them to describe it, but these disciples couldn't describe it.
Staying any longer is likely to affect your cultivation.
"Let them go out first." Xu Qiuqian suggested.
Yin Shizhen nodded and asked the other disciples to leave Hong'an Street. He was worried and gave them the Three Soul Bell.
"What about you?" Xu Qiuqian asked Yin Shiqian, "How do you feel now?"
"I'm okay."
"Don't be brave."
So far, this mirage has indeed no effect on her.
However, I don't know if it was because her spiritual veins had gradually recovered. After the mirage seeped in, her mood became a little anxious, but fortunately she could control it.
Yin Shizhen nodded: "I'm okay, Manager Xu doesn't need to take care of me."
As she said that, she said with a look of shame: "I originally asked Ji Zong about what he promised, but I didn't expect that I would end up bothering Store Manager Xu."
"It's okay, I was curious anyway."
While talking, the two of them finished exploring another store.
There are more than a hundred shops, large and small, in the entire Hong'an Street, with fifty shops on each side.
When they arrived at the ninth store, Xu Qiuqian noticed that something was wrong with Yin Shichen's expression.
"you……"
Just when he wanted Yin Shiqian to go back, he suddenly heard a "crash".
The two of them immediately went out smoothly.
The shelves in this store suddenly fell down for some reason.
Xu Qiuqian walked over.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that it was just a coincidence. The shelves were old and crumbling, but they just happened to fall over when they came in.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, let's go."
Yin Shizhen hummed in a low voice.
After leaving the shop, Xu Qiuqian was about to let Yin Shiqian go back when a strong wind struck from behind.
Xu Qiuqian subconsciously turned her head to avoid it, then reached out to grab the other person's arm, bent down and used her strength to slam the person to the ground.
Yin Shichen was thrown to the ground without much injury.
After being thrown away like this, his mind became slightly clearer.
"Are you unable to stay awake anymore?" Xu Qiuqian pulled Yin Shichen up and put a powerful pill into his mouth with his other hand: "Let's go out first."
Yin Shizhen used her strength to stand up, but her eyes flashed with anxiety: "Manager Xu, I can't control myself anymore. Leave quickly and leave it alone..."
However, before he finished speaking, another hand clenched his fist and rushed over.
Xu Qiuqian had already expected it and reached out to grab it, but Yin Shiqian had reached the ninth level of Qi refining after all, and her strength was naturally not comparable to that of a mortal like Xu Qiuqian. Fortunately, she had the foresight just now to take a first-grade powerful pill. Even if Yin Shiqian had great strength, in her Still unable to break free from the clamp.
She crossed her hands and held Yin Shichen's wrists, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Shilan, wake up!"
There was no light in Yin Shizhen's eyes. She looked at Xu Qiuqian calmly, but the strength in her hand to break away became stronger and stronger.
Seeing this, Xu Qiuqian stopped trying to wake Yin Shijian.
Suddenly letting go, Yin Shiqian rushed over again. Even though Xu Qiuqian was just a mortal, he was a general of the Interstellar Alliance in his previous life. He had gone through hundreds of battles and had taken the Powerful Pill to make up for the gap in strength between the two.
Therefore, instead of hurting her, Yin Shizhen was kicked to the ground again and again by her.
There were wounds and even a fracture on her body, but Yin Shichen still got up again and again and rushed towards her expressionlessly.
Xu Qiuqian knew something in her mind, so she took out the spirit-tying rope, clamped down on Yin Shicheng, and tied him up in twos and twos.
Yin Shizhen was still struggling on the ground even though his whole body was tied up.
Before the effect of the powerful pill wore off, Xu Qiuqian picked up Yin Shiqian and ran out of Hong'an Street.
On Hong'an Street, everyone who was waiting anxiously saw Xu Qiuqian running towards them.
"They're coming out!"
Master Lin Chun naturally saw it too. If the two of them didn't come out after another half-quarter of an hour, he planned to go in.
However, when he saw Xu Qiuqian carrying Yin Shijian out, he was stunned.
He thought it would be Yin Shizhen who brought Xu Qiuqian out.
Even though Xu Qiuqian may have strong forces behind her, she is still just a mortal.
When he asked Xu Qiuqian to come over, he also valued Xu Qiuqian's status as a mortal.
In his opinion, regardless of whether Yin Shichen was affected by mirage or not, Xu Qiuqian was the one who suffered.
Unexpectedly, the current situation turned out to be the other way around!
After leaving Hong'an Street, everyone quickly gathered around him.
"Manager Xu, are you okay?"
"What's wrong, Senior Sister Yin?"
Xu Qiuqian briefly explained the situation just now and said apologetically: "Sorry, I can't help it. If I don't do this, I will be hurt by her."
Naturally, she hid the part about experimenting with Yin Shiqian.
My heart is also full of apologies.
"Don't take it to heart, Manager Xu, I understand."
Xu Qiuqian breathed a sigh of relief, then took out a bottle of Restoration Pill and handed it over.
"This is the fourth grade Restoration Pill."
Master Linchun was surprised that Store Manager Xu turned out to be a fourth-grade person when he made a move.
After taking the Restoration Pill, Xu Qiuqian turned around and stepped forward.
Everyone was surprised.
"Manager Xu, what do you want to do?"
