Xu Changliu's heart sank, and he hurriedly stepped forward and helped the man up: "Auntie, please be at ease. The Immortal Sect will do its best for your son's affairs, and we will never be negligent in the slightest."
After comforting the victims and their families, the atmosphere in the house and among everyone was a little heavy.
"I think it must be the murderer who took out the heart." Luo Mingxiu gritted his teeth and punched the table, filled with righteous indignation. "Last night, if more people were sent there, they would definitely be able to catch her!"
After saying that, he raised his eyes, and his somewhat complaining eyes fell on Xiao Xingzhou beside him. Xiao Xingzhou rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Yesterday, two people were arranged to patrol the mountain, but Xiao Xingzhou made an excuse and took the people back to the mountain on the way, leaving only the disciples of Xianlai Taoist Temple.
Yu Jinzhou obviously didn't know about this. She noticed something strange, so she asked: "Xing Zhou, didn't you take your brothers and sisters to inspect with Feng Yunshu and the others yesterday?"
Xiao Xingzhou was startled, with a slight panic on his face, but he calmed down: "Master, we did go, but at that time Senior Brother Feng had already arranged the Taoist disciples, and there was no place for us. Instead of wasting time there, Why not come back and see if any of the brothers nearby need help."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mu Wenlan's face darkened, "I remember clearly, Senior Brother Feng said, we will patrol the inside of the town in the first half of the night, you will be responsible for the outside, and we will change in the second half of the night, who says it's not your fault? Already?"
As soon as he said this, Yu Jinzhou's face darkened. Seeing that something was going wrong, Xiao Xingzhou swallowed his saliva and hesitated: "Then...how do we know whether you and the heart-digging murderer are in the same group? After all, murder is a big deal. Out in the town, and it’s still early in the night!”
"you……"
Mul Wenlan was furious and wanted to refute something, but there were echoes from behind Xiao Xingzhou: "That's right, who dares to be with them? If there is a demon cultivator among them, our lives may not be saved." Get in."
"Yeah, don't dare."
After listening to their words, several disciples of the Taoist temple looked at each other. Even though they didn't say it explicitly, anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was something behind their words.
Mu Wenlan opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but her eyes swept across the faces of the people. They all showed fear. She also knew that it would be useless to talk more. In this situation, even if she wears her mouth, It cannot change their sincere rejection of Xianlai Taoist Temple.
She sighed, turned away, and did not explain any more. Suddenly she felt a powerful palm fall on her shoulder. Mul Wenlan turned around and saw that it was Fengyun Shu.
He stood up, bowed his hands to everyone, and bowed deeply, saying: "Everyone, I'm really sorry. It was my improper arrangements that caused the disaster. The disciples in the Taoist temple are all under my control." If you are sent, it’s all my fault, I will definitely think about it behind closed doors.”
After saying that, he turned his head, lifted up his robe, and knelt down, "Two master uncles and disciples, please retreat first."
He stood up, lowered his eyes, and retreated respectfully, leaving the place in an uproar.
Yu Jinzhou looked at his tall figure leaving, and even felt dazed for a moment, as if he had seen Su Luochen back then.
She sighed softly, knowing that the current situation was not the fault of one person. She could hear the endless discussion of the disciples beside her, and her mind was filled with the way Fengyun Shu took all the blame just now. Suddenly, her mind A moment of irritability.
"That's enough! Shut up!" Yu Jinzhou yelled angrily, and with her palm falling, the tea set on the table swayed, and all the disciples immediately stopped talking.
The anger on her face had not dissipated, and she stood up angrily, "What happened today is your common fault. Whoever dares to shirk responsibility again, don't blame the sect's ruthless rules!"
With that said, she walked away, leaving a group of disciples who were still in shock and looking at each other at a loss.
Xu Changliu, who was sitting aside, never spoke, but looked solemn, thinking about what Fengyun Shu had said earlier. If it was really that person who did it as they thought, that would be really troublesome...
At night.
The night was cold, and the surroundings were silent. There were vaguely lit torches in the streets and alleys of the town, and patrols continued.
On the hilltop outside the town, Yu Jiuxu stood on a tree, looking from a distance. She turned to look at Wan Chuyue beside her, "Are we still going tonight?"
Wan Chuyue was silent, her eyes narrowed slightly, her expression a little solemn. After a moment of silence, she said: "No, I will rest tonight and wait a few days before I feel moved."
As she said that, she turned to look at Yu Jiuxu: "For your safety."
Yu Jiuxu looked at her and said nothing, but nodded obediently as if thinking.
Suddenly, Wan Chuyue's eyes dimmed, "Someone is coming, hide first."
As she spoke, she suddenly floated up, grabbed Yu Jiuxu's shoulders, and quickly disappeared. Almost at the same time, a white shadow fell into the forest.
He was dressed in white clothes and wore a cloak, and the brim of his hat covered most of the upper half of his face, making it difficult for people to see his appearance clearly.
"Who is he?" Yu Jiuxu lowered her voice and asked Wan Chuyue beside her. Although they used a barrier to hide their figures, it was difficult for ordinary people to spot them, but Wan Chuyue was as cautious as she was, so she only did it to her. Made a silent gesture.
The man in white stood under the tree, looking around as if he was looking for something, but in the end it seemed to be in vain. He didn't stay long before he turned around and left.
Yu Jiuxu looked at him, trying to see his appearance clearly, but until he left, he could only see a strand of white hair floating out of his cloak.
It wasn't until he was far away that Wan Chuyue slowly breathed a sigh of relief, closed the barrier covering the two of them, turned around and left worriedly, "Let's go, don't look anymore."
Yu Jiuxu didn't ask anything, just followed her and left...
At this time, Su Luochen, dressed in white, slowly walked into the town's boundary. As soon as he entered, he was surrounded by immortal disciples holding torches.
"Who!" Luo Mingxiu yelled angrily.
Before Su Luochen could say anything, Fengyun Shu quickly got out of the crowd and pressed the sword in his hand, "Put it away, it's Master."
Luo Mingxiu was stunned and before he could react, Su Luochen raised his hand and took off the hat on his head. His hair was mixed with black and white, which made everyone's hearts tighten.
After a moment of silence, tears welled up in the eyes of several people, as if children who were originally isolated and helpless suddenly found support. Thousands of words turned into one sentence: "Master!"
Su Luochen only nodded, with a calm expression, "You continue the investigation and make sure there are no mistakes."
"Yes!" Several people accepted the order, and when they turned around and left, their backs were obviously more confident and courageous than before.
Su Luochen and Fengyun Shu went to the inn to discuss...
At the same time, Wan Chuyue had returned to the Magic City with Yu Jiuxu. When they arrived in the Magic City, the speed of the two gradually slowed down. Seeing Wan Chuyue heaving a sigh of relief, Yu Jiuxu wondered, "What's wrong with you?" ? He seems to be afraid of him? Who is he? "
Wan Chuyue lowered her eyes and said calmly, "I don't know you."
Yu Jiuxu raised her eyebrows, and her suspicious eyes wandered back and forth on her body. Based on her understanding of her, Wan Chuyue would not have such a reaction if she was really an unknown person.
She knew immediately to hide, instead of trying hard or testing, she looked very alert and confident, making it look like she didn't know him.
Even so, Yu Jiuxu just glanced at her and didn't ask any further questions. After all, Wan Chuyue was the person she had followed since childhood. In her memory, there were some minor frictions, but they were all harmless.
Wan Chuyue didn't say anything, she had her own reasons, so Yu Jiuxu didn't ask any questions.
However, even though he was far away from the place where he was just now, Yu Jiuxu couldn't help but look back in the direction he came back from. He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in his heart. The person who could make Wan Chuyue fearful and have such characteristics must have his origin. Not small, but there was no information about this person in her memory.
