Xiao Zheng hesitated to speak, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "This disciple has a friend who fell into coma while on a mission to kill the Weiba Snake a few days ago. He has not woken up yet. I dare... dare to ask Master to go and have a look."
Gu Xiaonian saw that his handsome face was stained with a light red color, and said jokingly: "Is it a girl?"
'Mu Yueru' suddenly knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said with a somewhat anxious tone: "Sister Cheng is a good girl. She bravely explored Wei Cliff and saved countless townspeople. I beg Master to go and have a look."
Gu Xiaonian cast his gaze towards the kneeling 'Mu Yueru' and said nothing for a long time, which was quite meaningful.
He walked down from the seat and lifted Mu Yueru up with his own hands. His tone was always gentle and doting: "Okay, okay... Master, I'll go right now. Xiao Yue'er, don't worry, I'll go right now, Master Wai..."
Mu Yueru's tears suddenly turned into laughter. She tentatively pulled up Gu Xiaonian's sleeves and smiled sweetly at him.
Xiao Zheng lowered his head and waited quietly, watching the warm interaction between the master and his junior sister, acting as a quiet background, with a hint of darkness in his dark eyes.
…
"Master, how is she?"
Gu Xiaonian took back the index finger that was touching Li Ying's eyebrows, his face turned gloomy, he pondered for a moment and said, "Her soul left her body, so she hasn't woken up yet."
Surprise flashed across 'Mu Yueru''s face and she said: "Soul leaving the body? How could this happen?!"
Xiao Zheng, who was standing next to Li Ying's bed, also looked at Gu Xiaonian, waiting for his answer.
Gu Xiaonian coughed: "That Kuiba snake has the power to seize the heart and soul... Are all the townspeople on the altar awake a few days ago?"
"Everyone is awake, Master."
He frowned lightly, pinched his fingers with his right hand and calculated carefully: "It shouldn't, it shouldn't... Kuiba Snake is dead, why hasn't her soul returned yet?"
Xiao Zheng cast a worried look at Li Ying, who was sleeping on the bed, with a trace of regret flashing in his eyes.
"Then the Kuiba Snake was really killed by Feirong?"
"This..." Xiao Zheng carefully recalled the traces of the scene and said hesitantly: "Master means..."
Gu Xiaonian said: "That kid Fei Rong is used to wielding swords. He is born with a sword body and has the best-mutated ice spirit root."
Xiao Zheng paused and followed the guess in his mind: "The Weiba snake has burn marks on its body, and its fatal injury was a knife wound, so..."
"The person who killed it was someone else!"
"The person who killed it was someone else!"
Xiao Zheng and Mu Yueru spoke at the same time. They looked at each other with fear in their eyes.
The person who killed the Kuiba Snake with a Nascent Soul cultivation level must have been at the Nascent Soul stage at least.
There are also some Nascent Soul practitioners in the cultivating world who possess strange fire.
If Li Ying's soul leaving the body is related to this person, he must be good at the art of capturing souls, then there are only a few people in the world of cultivation who meet the above regulations at the same time...
Xiao Zheng's eyes flashed with understanding. He bowed respectfully to Gu Xiaonian, then turned around and left.
Seeing him leaving suddenly, 'Mu Yueru' asked in confusion: "What did Senior Brother Xiao think of, why did he leave so suddenly?"
Gu Xiaonian tapped her head lightly with the folding fan in his hand and led her slowly out of Li Ying's room. As he walked, he explained to her: "It's like this..."
'Mu Yueru' walking beside him listened carefully and her mind was spinning rapidly.
She was immersed in Gu Xiaonian's gentle explanation, lowered her head slightly, and did not see the depth in his peach blossom eyes when he looked at her.
At the same time, Li Ying on the other side, who didn't know that she had just almost fallen off her horse, straightened her body, carefully holding a small porcelain bottle in her hand, and stood under the shade of the locust tree on the cliff of Wei.
[Host, what are you holding? I've been standing here for a long time. What are you waiting for or what are you doing? 】
After hearing 79588's question, Li Ying tilted the porcelain bottle in her hand and slightly spilled the liquid inside: "This bottle contains Wangchuan water, which is extremely tempting to the living soul." I want to use this to lure them here.
'Everyone went over the mountains and ridges and searched the town inside and out, but there was no trace of them. '
'I had thought that they had been transferred out of Luoju Town long ago, but that was not the case. '
She put away the porcelain bottle in her hand and analyzed it carefully: "There are three reasons why I think so: first, the formation method of guarding the town is the same; second, the evil cultivator has not left the town; and third... ...Children are prone to crying and have not been repelled. No matter how secretly he hides them, as long as he wants to successfully refine his 'Ten Thousand Ghost Banners', now is obviously not a good time to kill them, so the children must Still alive. '
Computer 79588 turned around and came back to his senses: [So, the best way is to make them unconscious so that they don't cry or make trouble, and save a lot of trouble. 】
'right. '
As soon as he finished speaking, the tall trees around him suddenly "squeaked", a dark wind suddenly rose on the Wei Cliff, and strange children's voices followed one after another.
"Hungry...I'm so hungry..."
The cold child's voice was mixed with resentment: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Mother... Hu'er wants mother..."
"Wow...Daddy...Yu'er is scared...Wow..."
Each sound was more poignant than the other, and it seemed particularly eerie and terrifying in the dark valley.
The locust tree next to Li Ying made a rustling sound, and its branches suddenly sank a few times, as if something was suddenly attached to it.
She closed her eyes slightly, rubbed the goosebumps on her arms that were aroused by the cold air conditioned reflex, and said in a warm voice: "Children, take me to where you came from. Can my sister take you home?"
The originally noisy sounds around him stopped instantly, and it was quiet for half a stick of incense. Just when Li Ying suspected that they were scared away by her, a boy spoke tremblingly: "Can you see us?!"
Li Ying glanced up at the tree towards the voice and said, "Yeah."
The surroundings suddenly became excited, and a dozen voices started chirping together, making Li Ying's head almost explode.
She frowned and cast a silence spell. After her ears were clear, she withdrew the spell from the boy who spoke to her first.
"you say."
The boy seemed to be frightened by Li Ying's silencing technique. He burst into tears and could not utter a single word.
"Tsk..."
Li Ying pinched her eyebrows impatiently, jumped up onto the tree on her toes, and squatted next to the boy. Just as she was about to ask a question, she saw him crying even harder.
"..."
[Host, please be gentler, you are scaring the child. ] 79588 looked at the little boy who was crying: [Okay, can’t I ask now? 】
She stared at the four or five-year-old boy, and saw that his tears were flowing more and more fiercely, and his crying voice was getting louder and louder. It felt like his voice was about to become hoarse.
Reluctantly, he stretched out his hand and touched the top of his head, and softened his voice: "I'm sorry, I scared you just now. Tell me where you are from, how about I take you home? You have been away from home for many days, can you? Don’t you think about your parents at home?”
Speaking of his parents, the boy who was choked with sobs suddenly had tears in his big eyes, and he started to cry again with a grin on his face.
Li Ying felt a headache when she saw this.
She put the transformation bag into her storage bag, held him in her arms as a soul, and gently patted his back that was twitching from crying, silently comforting him.
