Liu Qingyi raised the green sticker and saw two people, a fat one and a thin one, walking in front of them. They both took a piece of green sticker. Her heart skipped a beat. "What a risk. I almost didn't catch up. It's better to arrive early than to arrive by chance."
Seeing the fat and thin people, they both had some impressions. The fat one seemed to be the one who occupied the eighth stone platform in the previous competition, and the thin one was the one who was knocked off the ninth stone platform by Wang Tianshui. That disciple, Liu Qingyi said with a smile: "Two senior brothers, what do you call them?"
The fat disciple nodded slightly and said, "You know how to be polite, my name is Liu Hao."
The thin man looked curious and said: "My name is Li Lingfeng, are you that big brother Mao'er?"
Liu Qingyi turned her head and ignored him, looked at the meritorious deacon at the table and asked, "When will we set off?"
After deacon surnamed Liu checked and copied the nameplates registered by the three people one by one, he collected the volumes on the table, casually threw a few nameplates in front of several people, stood up and said: "When do you want to set off? Let’s set off anytime.”
"What reward?"
"Eight hundred meritorious deeds, eight hundred soul stones."
"So few?" Liu Qingyi exclaimed.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a gray shadow flitting into the hall, floating close very quickly, taking a look at the green sticker and nameplate in Liu Qingyi's hand, and said with a sad face: "Junior brother, you are so ignorant, you are so ignorant. If you secretly come here to receive foreign posts behind my back, you don’t want to live anymore.”
Deacon surnamed Liu, who had not yet left the table, laughed when he heard this and stood aside to watch the excitement.
Several black lines stood up on Liu Qingyi's head, and he saw the short and fat disciple named Liu Hao glance sideways at Xu Xiangying, and said with a serious face: "This senior brother does not need to be so worried, why don't we trace the whereabouts of several monks?" Well, as long as I'm here, I can keep him safe."
The thin man named Li Lingfeng looked at Xu Xiangying with disdain and said: "You disciples in gray clothes always make a fuss about tracking down the whereabouts of a few monks in the spiritual forging stage. It's just a trivial matter. Brother Hao said it's no problem. That’s no problem.”
Xu Xiangying stared at the two of them with an idiotic expression on his face and said, "I never thought you two fools would jump into this trap..." Before he could finish his sentence, he heard that Deacon Liu, who was standing next to him and watching the fun, was like an old hen. The monster laughed twice.
"Did you know that there are two Tongyuan Realm monks among the missing people this time? Is it possible for you to find out what caused so many of them to disappear at once?" Xu Xiangying looked pitiful.
The fat man and the thin man were startled, and they both looked at Deacon Liu and said, "Senior Brother Deacon didn't say anything about this!"
The smile on Deacon Liu's face did not diminish, "Everyone else asked, but the three of you didn't ask. You just came over and posted the post. Can you blame me?"
The thin man named Li Lingfeng had a mournful look on his face and said, "Um, senior brother, can you withdraw this invitation? We won't accept it."
"There's no such thing as that, we can't retreat." After saying this, Deacon Liu ran away.
The fat man clenched his teeth, looked at Liu Qingyi for a while and said, "Why did you answer it?"
Liu Qingyi smiled and said: "Didn't you listen to the newly arrived senior deacon? I don't want to live anymore."
"Ah~ you?" Their faces fell, and they were both speechless.
Liu Qingyi pulled Xu Xiangying and scolded: "Gou Pocai, look at you, how are you talking? I am just going out to relax this time. Are you in such a hurry? Look, you are scaring me! How many days can I play with you?" Just come back, forget it if you can’t hand in the mission, anyway, I don’t care about the meritorious service and the Spiritual Essence Stone.”
Xu Xiangying looked at Liu Qingyi with disgust and said, "You are such a loser."
Liu Qingyi smiled softly, and in a flash, he passed by several people and left the Heavenly Beast Hall, heading straight towards the mountain gate.
Two shadows, one fat and one thin, stood in front of the beast hall that day. They were stunned for a moment, and finally followed them one after another with a grimace.
At the Heavenly Beast Gate, at the mountain gate, three disciples in green clothes walked out, one in front and two behind, each holding green posts.
The Tsing Yi disciple walking in front crossed the stone platform in front of the door, picked up the Feng Xing Technique and ran down the mountain. The two people walking behind couldn't help shouting: "Junior Brother Mao'er, wait a minute."
Liu Qingyi stopped, looked at the two tails following him, and said impatiently: "What's the matter? Let's each investigate our own affairs, don't even think about following me."
"Check each other?" The fat man lowered his head and said half a sentence, then heard the tall and thin Li Lingfeng say: "It's not that I want to follow you, but we have to go to the city lord's mansion together anyway, so why not be a companion."
The fat man Liu Hao muttered at the side: "Everyone investigates? Junior Brother Cat is commendable for his diligence! However, the investigation is not our business, the city lord's palace should take the lead in handling it. We are just going to sit in charge, just like meeting an immortal monk Stop me and provide support. In my opinion, it’s best for the three of us to work together.”
"City Lord's Mansion? Can we still find them?" Liu Qingyi said in surprise.
He had already guessed in his mind that the dozen or so missing monks were probably the money-giving boys who robbed him. This time he took the invitation and came out to investigate the case, but he just wandered around and dragged the case out for several days. , file a stupid case and settle the matter. At this time, I was greatly moved when I heard that the minions of the City Lord's Mansion were available. After all, it is easy to do stupid things when there are many people. This is an eternal truth.
Just listen to Li Lingfeng say: "Of course, we messengers, how can we do everything ourselves? We should think that the city lord's palace is running around to take care of it, and we are just sitting in command."
Liu Qingyi smiled softly and said: "Okay, let's go to the city lord's mansion to have fun together." What he didn't say later was: "Bringing a bunch of minions with you will be more impressive, isn't it?"
Liu Hao said with twinkling eyes: "Since there is a Tongyuan Realm monk who has disappeared, it is a bit difficult to put this case in the outer sect. It is estimated that the sect does not pay much attention to it. Let's just check it out and earn whatever merits we can get this time. Just forget it if you can’t earn it.”
Liu Qingyi thought to himself: "You are really wise."
…
Beast Spirit City, the city lord's palace, is located in a huge palace complex in the east of Beast Spirit City, but it stands diagonally to the east and west of the Beast Spirit City Xianwei.
Outside the golden tiled and glazed courtyard wall of the palace where the City Lord's Mansion is located, three men in green clothes walked up.
At first, a slender man held a green post and raised it towards the gatekeeper, saying: "The envoy holding the post from the Heavenly Beast Sect is here to handle business. Take me to see City Master Tao quickly."
The two servants at the door narrowed their eyes, looked at the outfits of the people in green clothes, and hurriedly said with a sigh of relief: "I have seen a few immortals, please come with me." After that, they carefully led the three people to the door. Lead to the inner hall of the city lord's mansion.
The three of them followed Zaozai to a magnificent hall, and saw a middle-aged man with a big face and big ears coming out with several followers.
"Please come in, please. The Lord of Beast Spirit City, Tao Jing, is here to welcome the Immortal Envoy."
Liu Hao nodded and said: "City Master Tao, you are polite."
Li Lingfeng on the side had already clasped his hands, Liu Qingyi followed suit silently, looking at the two people standing on the left and right next to Tao Jing, and saw that the two people faintly revealed the aura that only monks have, and couldn't help but feel in their hearts. Startled.
After a few people entered the inner hall and sat down, Tao Jing began to introduce the people around him. They were all money officials of the city lord's palace. When the two people on the left and right were introduced, Liu Qingyi listened carefully, but the elder The official Qiu Tuo and the steward Song Qian of Xianwei Field.
Liu Hao briefly introduced the purpose of the three people's visit, and then Tao Jing said with a bitter look on his face: "Several immortal envoys, we have been searching for the fifteen missing monks for several days, and we really have no clue. .”
Liu Hao pondered and said: "How could this happen? So many people disappeared suddenly, without leaving any traces?"
Chief official Qiu Tuo recalled: "I heard from people near the North City Gate that a few days ago, more than a dozen masked men came out of the North City Gate in groups of two or three."
Liu Qingyi laughed and said, "What does that mean? There are so many people in the world who are masked."
Qiu Tuo looked at Liu Qingyi and said, "That's the truth. It's just that those masked people happened to be more than ten people. It's a bit of a coincidence."
Liu Qingyi said with a faint smile: "The world is big and full of coincidences, but has anyone seen the faces of those masked people?"
City Lord Tao Jing sighed and said, "What Immortal Liu said is absolutely true. The group of people disappeared as soon as they left the North City Gate, and they never showed up. It's really impossible to connect them with this matter."
Liu Hao pondered for a while and said: "Although I can't contact this matter for the time being, it can be regarded as a clue. I wonder where these missing monks are from. Could they have wandered elsewhere?"
Song Qiandao, the manager of the Immortal Fairground, said: "Eight of the fifteen people are non-sectarian cultivators, four are disciples of the rogue cultivator sect, and three are disciples of the Little Immortal Sect. According to people from the sects where those seven people belong, these The seven people disappeared almost at the same time, and they did not come back to deliver the news. It is assumed that it was not due to wandering."
Li Lingfeng asked: "I heard that there are two Tongyuan Realm disciples, which sect are they from?"
"One person from Yanshan Sect and one person from Daoyan Tan are both disciples of Xiaoxian Sect." Song Qian replied solemnly.
"Yanshan Sect?" Liu Qingyi felt that these three words were vaguely familiar, but he didn't think much about it and asked: "Since these people disappeared at the same time,...did they interact with each other before they disappeared?"
Song Qian glanced at City Lord Tao Jing, lowered his head and said nothing.
But I heard the city lord Tao Jing sigh and say: "I dare not hide this matter from several immortal envoys. Nine of these fifteen people went to the Xianyuan Music Studio for entertainment before they disappeared."
Liu Qingyi looked confused and looked like a brother, "Xianyuan Lefang? What is that place?"
Song Qian shrank his head and listened to Qiu Tuo on the side: "Huh, it is a Qufang wine shop that entertains all kinds of mortal monks to have fun. I heard that there are many female cultivators serving in it."
When Liu Qingyi heard this, he patted his thigh and suddenly realized, "That's it."
