Li Ying raised her head and looked behind Xiao Zheng, seeing a cold female cultivator leaning on her sword and a simple and honest male cultivator.
She couldn't help but asked curiously: "So many children have been lost in the town, and they are still in the mood to perform sacrifices? Who are they worshiping at this ceremony?"
Feirong glanced at Li Ying who was speaking and Mu Yueru who was sitting next to her, and finally focused on Xiao Zheng:
"Just now, I, Senior Brother Tongmu, and my brothers were eating spiritual food in the first floor of Guanxi Pavilion. I happened to hear the diners talk about the sacrifice ceremony in Luoju Town."
"The seventh day of the tenth lunar month is their commemorative day to worship the Luoju River God. They pray that the people of Luoju Town will have good luck every year, be safe every day, and make great progress in their cultivation. They insist on the sacrificial day at this time, and they should pray for the lost child. I hope the river gods will find their lost child soon."
'Mu Yueru' didn't bother to interrupt and said: "What a joke, I am a monk, worshiping the Laoshizi River God? Where in the world do gods come from? They are not ignorant and ignorant mortals in the mortal world, but they still believe in these things?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the locals in Luoju Town inside the shop.
Some of the bad-tempered ones had already stood up, summoned their magic weapons, and walked toward them menacingly.
A sturdy man was carrying a meteor hammer, with a ferocious scar on his face: "A few outsiders are disrespectful to the River God who has protected us for many years. If you ask me, Mayor Wang should not let you self-righteous disciples of the sect enter the town. . I asked you to handle the case. After all these days, there has been no progress at all. It is really useless."
Several other women in colorful cloths nodded approvingly and pointed at Li Ying and his group: "What is Guiyi Sect, one of the four major sects in the world of cultivation. They have been here for so long, but there is still no news about the children. No. It’s just useless to me, but you actually call us stupid and arrange our river god rashly.”
"that is!"
"Bah - who says it's not the case..."
"..."
"Tsk tsk..." Li Ying twirled the spiritual cake leisurely, observing everyone's expressions and reactions, and said leisurely in Zhihai: "I didn't expect that the prestige of the Laoshizi River God is quite high." In fact, what Mu Yueru said is correct. Their reaction was so great, which makes me more curious about tonight's ceremony...'
[Host, you are just watching the fun and don’t think it’s a big deal. If the fire can't burn your body, you won't feel hot, right? 】
79588 kindly reminded: [That group of people has even targeted you. Look at the extremely vulgar male cultivator with his long pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, holding a black iron rod and staring at you with evil intentions. 】
Li Ying looked behind the tall man and saw a thin, wretched man, staring at her with a pair of slender triangular eyes.
She smiled nonchalantly at the man, and the cakes in her fingers flew out instantly, hitting his eyes hard.
"Ah——" the man cried out in pain: "My eyes!"
Seeing his little brother being beaten, the sturdy man cursed lowly and immediately hit Li Ying and his group with the meteor hammer in his hand.
'Mu Yueru' had been talked about for a long time. She used the spiritual power in her palm to lift the dining table. The table flipped in the air and knocked away the meteor hammer flying in the air.
"enough!"
Xiao Zheng slapped the table and stood up, pointing his sword directly at the throat of the sturdy man who wanted to fight again after taking the meteor hammer.
His voice was as cold as spring, his words were strong, and his handsome face was full of coldness: "Xiao will take her to apologize to you later, and I also ask you to give Guiyi Sect a good deal."
The big Hanonuo nodded, his neck trembling and his eyes blinking.
Xiao Zheng took Mu Yueru to apologize to the people in the shop, bowed to apologize, and then left the shop.
On the way back to Wanxi Pavilion, 'Mu Yueru' kept squinting her neck and didn't want to give Xiao Zheng a look.
Xiao Zheng was silent on the side, his sword eyebrows furrowed thoughtfully, as if he didn't hear anything about 'Mu Yueru'.
The group returned to Guanxi Pavilion. Xiao Zheng ordered his disciples to go back to their rooms and wait for orders. He, Feirong, Mu Kui, Liying and others entered his bamboo house to discuss today's mission arrangements.
Before calling out 'Mu Yueru', she acted as if nothing was wrong, as if the person who was angry just now was not her, and now she followed him in.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a simple living room. There are almost no extra decorations and appliances in the house, only a bed, a table and a chair. On the table are several rolls of bamboo slips neatly placed, and the tip of a wolf hair slightly dipped in Huizhou ink is cast on the pressed rice paper.
Xiao Zheng raised his finger and the table was cleared instantly.
He took out four wooden stools from the storage bag and placed them in the room, which was regarded as his tacit approval of 'Mu Yueru' to participate in this discussion.
"Senior Brother Xiao," Fei Rong took the lead to sit on the stool and looked at him and said, "Just now, Fellow Daoist Cheng's guess at the food shop is not unreasonable. This matter is strange. The person involved is neither a monster nor a demon, so it is very likely that he is evil. build."
Xiao Zheng groaned, looked up at the crowd, and finally made a decision: "Sneak through Weiya tonight." After speaking, he looked at Mu Yueru and said firmly: "Yueru, Junior Brother Mu will stay, and you and your Junior Sisters will stay in Luoju. Town. I will go with Junior Sister Fei to investigate tonight."
Dissatisfaction instantly surged on Mu Yueru's face, and she glared at Xiao Zheng fiercely. Seeing that he no longer looked at her, she was unwilling to compromise.
Mu Kui smiled at Xiao Zheng and nodded to indicate that he understood his arrangement. He glanced at Fei Rong one last time and wanted to tell her something. After seeing the indifferent look on her resolute profile, he finally just opened his mouth silently. , led Mu Yueru away.
'Tsk...'
Li Ying saw their little interaction in her eyes, and Shihaili gossiped with 79588: "That Hanhan might be able to make it happen with Goddess Fei." '
79588 Looking at Feirong, Xiao Zheng was discussing tonight's actions seriously. Li Ying, who seemed to be listening seriously, was actually gossiping with Feirong. This is too inappropriate...
It didn't know whether to laugh or cry: [Host, this is not the time for us to discuss this. Would you like to consider hearing their thoughts? 】
Li Ying smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm listening." With the advice of Goddess Fei and Xiao Tiancai, there will be no mistakes in tonight's sneaking, so don't worry. '
'I am a proper tool tonight. As long as I complete the tasks assigned to me, I won't have to worry about anything else. Ha ha……'
It’s great to have a great leader leading the team!
Li Ying smiled naively in her heart, but her face was serious, and she would nod in agreement with them from time to time.
This host... 79588 silently watched Li Ying's performance at the scene and couldn't help but applaud her "pretending".
If it hadn't been chatting with her for nearly an hour, it would have been deceived by her apparent seriousness.
The main system is not deceiving me. Human beings are really good at pretending.
"Fellow Daoist Cheng, is the task I assigned you difficult? If not, tonight you will still..." Xiao Zheng looked at Li Ying and hesitated to speak.
Li Ying shook her head: "It's not difficult. Fellow Daoist Xiao, don't worry, I will complete this task perfectly."
Xiao Zheng nodded and looked at Feirong again.
