When Xu Yuan was considering whether to stay here for a while or pack up Xinruan and run away immediately, Xuantian Sect encountered a trouble. As a saint, it was natural for her to accept this job inexplicably.

It was a sunny afternoon, and Xu Yuan and a group of female nuns were chatting under the banyan tree. Suddenly, they saw two people, one tall and one short, running toward them in a hurry. They were dressed in green clothes and had unseemly postures. At first glance, they were not from the Xuantian Sect. Wen Nuxiu said that they were disciples of the Sword Sect in Yishan.

The short man was so panicked when he saw Shangguan Qing that he saluted her with a bang and stammered: "Holy...Holy Lady..."

Xu Yuan wanted to help him, but was intercepted by Xiao Jichu who suddenly appeared.

The short man raised his head and saw that it was Xiao Jichu, and shouted happily: "Sixth Senior Brother?!"

The sincere energy was like that of a stupid husband seeing a beautiful girl, but this beautiful girl was as beautiful as she was beautiful, but had a bad personality.

Then the tall man caught up and the three of them gathered around her, treating her like nothing.

Xu Yuan raised his hand, then put it down awkwardly.

A bunch of idiots x x x

There was a burst of screams among the curses, followed by noisy sounds, and even the crowd rushed in. Another black thing was seen running towards the crowd at an unusual speed, while several white trains behind it intercepted its direction at an even faster speed, pulling at it within a stone's throw.

Everyone held their breath, and Xu Yuan subconsciously tightened his sleeves. Amidst the waves of surprise, a timid voice suddenly sounded: "Senior Sister Lianxin!"

Shen Lianxin seemed to fall from the sky. Xu Yuan wanted to see her face, but was blocked by the crowd. She was seen jumping into the air again, with Bai Lian in her hand flying and entangled. The black monster kept tearing off her Bailian, and the Bailian continued to grow from her hands, gathering more and more densely, spreading out, and wrapping up towards the monster from all directions. Then, Shen Lianxin held Bai Lian in his left hand and a sword in his right hand. The sword was possessed with spiritual power. Bai Lian tightened it, and the monster was wrapped in it like a rice dumpling.

Only then did Xu Yuan get to see her true appearance, with raised eyebrows and narrow eyes, a clear and solemn speech, and an aura as cold as ice.

Before I could taste it again, a fishy smell swept through the entire courtyard.

"It blew itself up," said the short man.

"Oh, we Xiaochuanchuan all know this!" The tall man teased inappropriately, causing silence and the air freezing around him.

"Senior Brother Wuyou..."

Shen Lianxin glanced at them coldly, then raised his arm slightly to withdraw Bai Lian. The monster gradually transformed into a human form in a black mist. Bai Lian faded away, leaving only pieces of blurred flesh and blood, and the skin was long gone.

Xu Yuan couldn't help but glance forward. She suddenly felt sour in her stomach and almost vomited out the food she had left overnight. She hurriedly covered her mouth and asked, "Is this..."

"Lord Saint, have you never heard of the biggest 'corpse tomb case' in Yishan in recent years?" Jiang Wuyou said this in a rather strange way. No wonder he and Xiao Jichu were from the same clan.

Xu Yuan smiled solemnly: "It's true that I haven't heard of it."

Xiao Jichu helped: "Fourth Senior Brother, you don't know. The Holy Lady has so many things to do every day, how can she care about such a trivial matter."

Jiang Wuyou raised his eyebrows and glanced at the two of them, and said "Oh" meaningfully. Then he pointed at the rotting corpses and said: "Actually, these people have been dead corpses for a long time. They were used to make figurines out of skin and pretended to be alive. ”

Someone chimed in "Who did this?"

"Nonsense, of course it was the demon cultivator who did it!"

Xu Yuan secretly rolled his eyes and thought to himself: The good things are all done by you, the bad things are all done by us!

Jiang Wuyou really rolled his eyes: "I wonder if you guys can understand the key points?"

Shen Lianxin finally spoke up from the side: "This is the eleventh case in Yishan. The dead body was skinned and replaced with a new skin, and was controlled by the corpse master with evil magic. The corpse figurine only had the last moment of consciousness of the corpse. , but its power is several times that of a human being, it is good at changing, and its body is poisonous. It is not difficult to distinguish, but difficult to control."

Xu Yuan thought for a while and asked: "Is it harmful to anyone?"

Shen Lianxin replied: "I've never heard of it."

Xu Yuan said thoughtfully: "That's not bad."

Xiao Jichu looked at Shen Lianxin in confusion and asked, "If it doesn't hurt anyone, why do you want to control it?"

Jiang Wuyou answered: "Sixth Junior Brother, you don't know. It's not harmful, but it's disgusting! This thing doesn't just appear in Yishan, Yicheng below the mountain is also the hardest hit area. Those people don't know this What the hell is this? Just seeing it scares me to death. The main reason is that old corpses are dug out from time to time and made into corpse figurines, which makes people panic and makes them restless."

"Everyone dies, does it matter what he becomes?" The speaker was a young girl with curved eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. When she spoke, the corners of her mouth were raised, and her little pear dimples were revealed. She was cute and cute, and she was even more attractive in lavender clothes. The ghost horse spirit.

She continued: "Is there any difference between you chasing corpses and those who turn corpses into figurines?" As she said this, she looked towards Shen Lianxin.

Seeing that Shen Lianxin didn't respond, everyone began to murmur quietly.

"Zhou Ling is raving again!"

"It's her again, what are you talking about?!"

Zhou Ling glanced sideways when he heard this, smiled evilly and asked, "What does it have to do with you?"

"Qiyue!"

The two words interrupted the movement of Zhou Ling's fingers. She turned her fingers, retracted her 'Shadowless Tail', and walked towards the person behind her.

Everyone bowed their hands and saluted "Yi Qianjun."

The person coming is Qi Yun Zhou Shen.

Seeing a group of green, white and brown people forming several circles, there were at least two or three people sitting together, chatting constantly.

There is enough gossip to make it boring. Xu Yuan now just wants to go to Yicheng for a walk.

By the way, corpse figurines often appear in Yishan and Yicheng. If Xu Yuan guessed correctly, Yicheng has probably fallen by now.

But what she didn't expect was that Xiao Jichu also set off.

The two of them went down the mountain one after the other.

We met in a restaurant in Yicheng.

When Xiao Ji first saw Xu Yuan, he looked surprised at first, then took his sword and started to leave.

But she grabbed the hem.

Although she twisted it with two fingers, she used 100% of her strength. Xiao Jichu was stunned and even pulled it twice without pulling it away.

Xu Yuan seemed to hear his ventriloquism through gritted teeth: "What did you do!"

"Um...do you have any money...I was so anxious that I forgot to bring it with me." Xu Yuan scratched his head.

She is a tough-faced prisoner, but she doesn't know that she still has to rely on tickets when she goes out. It's rare to meet an acquaintance, so I have to pretend to be stupid. Is there anything more important now than filling my stomach?

As expected, Xiao Jichu laughed sinisterly and continued to speak to her in ventriloquism: "Don't saints know that eating requires money? Or is it that saints always use clothes to stretch out their hands and food to open their mouths?"

Xu Yuan cursed in his heart and said calmly: "I know, it's just that I am anxious this time."

Xiao Ji glanced at her suspiciously and suddenly asked: "How did you know?"

What do you know or don’t you know? Xu Yuan didn't even know what he was talking about, but she could only pose and pretend to be mysterious: "Don't you know too?"

But it seems that she was deceived again.

Xiao Jichu shook his head, chuckled twice, and sat down with his sword. Then he told the waiter: "Waiter, one chicken, one fish, as many side dishes as you like, and two bowls of water."

This meant inviting her. Xu Yuan understood and sat down next to him without ceremony.

Soon the dishes were served and piled up on the table.

Xu Yuan, who had not eaten big fish and meat for a long time, couldn't help but think of the past days and wanted to cry inexplicably. She also thought that Xiao Jichu was able to treat her to a meal regardless of previous suspicions, and felt that he didn't seem so annoying anymore, so she wanted to treat him to a good meal. Just as I was about to raise my hand, I saw him drinking tea leisurely. There was something indescribably elegant about this scene. It seems that a small pavilion has been set up in the middle of the lake. There is a small wooden case in the pavilion, and the fragrant bisnails are brewed on the table. Xiao Jichu is sitting next to the case and savoring it carefully...

I have to say that as long as he doesn't move, he keeps a cold face and speaks yin and yang, which is actually not annoying, and it is indeed somewhat pleasing to watch. Xu Yuan, who was full of wine and food, held her chin and thought.

"What are you looking at?"

Xiao Jichu's gaze swept over, and Xu Yuan was suddenly startled, secretly cursing herself how could she be deceived by beauty? You must know that there are many people who have gold and jade on the outside, but losers on the inside. Then he shook his head and said: "Nothing."

"If there's nothing, just eat quickly and leave as soon as you're done."

"Okay -" Xu Yuan shrugged her nose behind his back, choked a few more times, and wanted to stand up and leave with him, but was forced to sit down again.

"Wait a moment."

Xu Yuan followed Xiao Jichu's gaze and saw the group of people.

Listen to their chatter:

"I wonder how the stubborn lady is doing?"

"What a poor woman."

"She is also crazy. People have been dead for so long, why are they hanging coffins?"

"Now there are no bones left, not even a thought."

"No, it's too miserable!"

...

Sure enough, she guessed it right. Xu Yuan and Xiao Jichu looked at each other briefly, then turned to the most talkative person in the group and asked: "Brother, what's wrong with this stubborn lady?"

The man asked: "Are you not from Yicheng?"

Xu Yuan nodded and said: "Well, Fang came down from Xuantian Sect."

"What? Xuantian Sect?"

Instantly, screams began: "Ahhhhh, the Immortal Chief of Xuantian Sect!"

Xu Yuan was so frightened that she shook her hand, "No, no, no..."

Isn’t it too late not to admit it now?

This group of people couldn't hear what she said. Men, women, old and young all swarmed towards her, as if she was a life-saving straw in the cliff.

"Chief Immortal, you are finally here..."

"You have to save us..."

Xu Yuan was so close that she almost came face to face with the person. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to push the nearest face away, and said with a fake smile: "Easy to say, easy to say, step back."

I glanced at Xiao Jichu along the way, and I saw that he was in a good mood. He folded his arms and watched the show with a cold eye, ignoring the fact that it didn't concern him.

"Chief Immortal, you have to save Yun'er!" A woman squeezed into the crowd and shed two lines of tears in her eyes as she spoke, "That's Stubborn Lady, she is my sister."

"???"

It seems that no one knows.

Xu Yuan asked her to sit down and asked again emphatically, "Stubborn lady, Yun'er? Is she your sister?"

The woman looked at Xu Yuan with tears in her eyes and sobbed, "Yes, Immortal!"

Someone else asked: "Miss Duan, why do you still have a younger sister?"

"Everyone doesn't know that Yun'er is my half-sister."

"This..." Everyone was stunned.

How could the wife of the Lin family, who came from a poor family, become the daughter of the famous Duan family? Almost everyone in Yicheng knows what life is like for the Lin family, right? Three generations of the county magistrate's family were implicated in the murder. They died and were injured, except for an only son who was still sick. He was so helpless that he was not even allowed to take the literary test to make a living. He fell seriously ill one year after failing the exam due to his status, and he could only survive with medicine.

Everyone knows Lin Lang well. He has been very smart since he was a child, has a cheerful personality and is kind to others. When he grows up, he is even more talented and beautiful, and everyone calls him a child from another family. But things are unpredictable, and who would have expected that unexpected changes would happen, and the young talents in Yicheng would suddenly become new beggars, which is pitiful.
