1.

The evil of heaven and earth is the town of the Quartet.

This is the world's statement about the four ancient divine beasts, and it is also the cultivation realm's statement to the four major families of light, Aoki, Liaoyuan and Xuanshui.

"That's not right...... How is this possible!" Li Zhou was the first to retort, "The four major families all have deep roots, how easy it is to be completely erased, should you be the first person in the Liaoyuan family!"

Lin Xiao smacked his lips impatiently: "It's just speculation, so what are you really doing." And I tell you responsibly that there is no shortage of masters in the Liaoyuan family, but it is not impossible to crush them to death like ants. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

This time it was Yunxiao's answer, because Lin Xiao was looking at Li Zhou intently with idiot eyes. "Like us. ”

Li Zhou suddenly fell silent.

The Liaoyuan family and the other three major families all belonged to the category of the Immortal Sect, and their reputation in the cultivation realm was indeed loud, but compared to the Ziyang Divine Sect where Lin Xiao and the others were, it was a world of difference.

The Purple Sun Divine Sect is the first major sect of the Immortal Sect, and it is known as the three major sects in the world together with the Ethereal City of the Sword Sect and the Ten Thousand Saints Ming Sect of the Demon Sect. Yunxiao's father is the current head of the Purple Sun Divine Sect, Yunya, and this person is the pinnacle of the cultivation realm.

In the first year of Yunya's first head, there was a "devil-worshipping" thing in Xiangxi, and the people who worshiped the devil used the spirit of the living to refine the medicine, which was extremely cruel; Yunya went alone, with the power of one person, and directly erased the first big gang of demon worship in Xiangxi overnight, and its gang leader was shown to the public to warn the world, and the world was shocked, and for a time the evil devil crooked way everyone was in danger, and there was a way: "Rather welcome the king of Hades, and be invincible to the purple sun." The reputation of the Ziyang Divine Sect arose from this.

Therefore, if you want to say that it has the ability to erase a cultivation family, the Ziyang Divine Sect is indeed at the top.

"I'm just taking us as an example. Lin Xiao looked at the direction where the Chi Xing fell, and said thoughtfully: "There are still many forces like us in this world, although our Purple Sun Divine Sect is the first major sect in the Immortal Sect, it is not the first major sect in the world. ”

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, there are not many people who have the strength to match us and can do such a thing as destroying the door, and you can count it yourself. ”

Such words are already regarded as explicit, as long as people are not stupid, they can hear what they are referring to.

"Demon Sect, right?" Li Zhou said.

"Hmm. It can also be more specific, such as ......"

Ling Ying took over in a calm voice: "For example, the one who hates Heavenly City." Lin Xiao snapped his fingers and showed his approval.

Yunxiao frowned and said, "But I've never heard of any ties between the Ten Thousand Saints Ming Sect and the Liaoyuan Family." This one is in the south and the other in the world, will he have nothing to do to do this kind of thing, knowing that no matter how much he hides it, he will be suspected and targeted by everyone?"

"Don't wrinkle, it's ugly. Lin Xiao stretched out his hand to Yunxiao's eyebrows and stroked it gently, and then said: "They are a demon sect, do they need any reason to do anything, and there is no fear of being suspected and targeted by others." ”

Ling Ying said: "Actually, what Senior Sister said is not unreasonable, the Ten Thousand Saints Sect Master is indeed cruel, but it is definitely not the kind of person who does what he wants and has no name, if he really wants to destroy people, he will definitely give a full reason." ”

Or ...... There is something in the Liaoyuan family, which he especially wants. Lin Xiao said.

"I mean, it's not a problem for us to speculate here. Li Zhou said, "Not to mention whether this Liaoyuan family has been destroyed as we guessed, or if it is destroyed, we don't know if it is a ghost caused by the Demon Sect." I think that if something really big happens, the head of the master should be the first to ......."

As if in response to Li Zhou's words, the eyes of the four people lit up together, and four dark blue Dao Mark sigils appeared in front of them, and they found a dazzling light, and then gradually turned into fire and dissipated with the wind. The four of them were stunned for a moment, and then jumped up from the roof together like clockwork.

"You mouth...... Let's open the light!" Lin Xiao and the three of them turned their heads fiercely and stared at Li Zhou, who looked blank and innocent.

Fang Cai's talisman seal is the assembly order of the inner disciples of the Ziyang Divine Sect, and it is distinguished by color - the white rune refers to the ordinary disciples in the inner gate, while the blue rune refers to the disciples who are passed down by the head of the sect or the elders.

And the personal disciples of the inner gate of the Ziyang Divine Sect are the four of them.

In the middle of the night, it is not a trivial matter to gather and summon all the disciples of the inner sect to discuss together. Could it be that all the random speculations made by the right people are true?

The four of them were all about to jump off the roof with the same thoughts, but Lin Xiao suddenly stopped them: "Wait." ”

"What?

"Come back in a circle, do you want him to know that we didn't sleep in the middle of the night and ran out for a night tour!" Lin Xiao said, and then pointed to Li Zhou: "And you, go back to your room first......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhou's eyes widened: "Why should I go back?"

"Are you a pig?!"

At this time, Lin Xiao was not the only one who scolded, but also added Ling Ying and Yunxiao: "Hurry up and change your night clothes!"

2.

Qianyuan Palace, brightly lit.

Lin Xiao and the four of them rushed to meet outside the palace gate, and after confirming each other's eyes, they walked in together. I saw that at this time, the head of the sect, Yun Ya, was pacing back and forth in the hall with a solemn face, and standing on the side was the first Li Zhu Fence of the Discipline Hall and the first Ling Xiao of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion.

Ling Ying glanced at his father out of the corner of his eye, and then lightly touched Lin Xiao with his elbow, Lin Xiao followed his eyes and saw that what Ling Xiao was holding in his hand was the Star Palace Disk, and the direction of the trend recorded on the Astrolabe was the star of the red star in the south.

"Looks like something really happened?" Lin Xiao quietly made a lip shape.

Ling Ying shrugged his shoulders and responded, "Take a look." ”

When the four of them entered the hall, Yun Ya stopped and turned his gaze to the four people who came in. "Coming?" said Cloud Cliff, "Do you know why I called you over at this time?"

After all, the four of them had just violated the forbidden and felt empty, or Li Zhulian, the law enforcement elder, was too aura standing aside, so that Yun Ya's simple question at this time actually made the four of them break out in a cold sweat.

Lin Xiao coughed dryly, touched Li Zhou, who was already blushing beside him, with his elbow, signaling him not to show his stuffing, and then replied forcefully and naturally: "No...... I don't know. ”

Yun Ya didn't seem to hear Lin Xiao's somewhat abnormal tone, and turned to Ling Xiao and said, "Show them." ”

"According to my star algorithm, tonight, there are stars out of the east, looking southwest, into the ghosts, to the middle platform, where a big star with dozens of small stars followed, the stars fell like rain, not near turbidity. Ling Xiao cast a spell to detach the stars on the star palace disk from the star disk and scatter them over the main hall, simulating the scene of "stars falling like rain";

Suddenly, in the southward direction of everyone, an abrupt dim red appeared in the originally harmonious blue, and slowly showed a red star as big as a bull fight, slowly crossing the southern sky, falling to the ground with a sound.

"But half an hour ago, a red star that was not within the calculation range of the algorithm appeared in the orbit of the meteor. And the movement of this red star is completely contrary to the calculation of the star palace disk. In my mind, there is only one star that can transcend the algorithm, and its appearance and death are not affected by any star calculation, and this kind of star is the life star. ”

Lin Xiao and the four exchanged glances with each other, and Ling Ying stepped forward and asked, "Dad, where does this life star belong?"

Ling Xiao glanced at his son: "South, fire the plain." ”

"Oh my God! exactly!" Yunxiao gasped and exclaimed softly at Lin Xiao and Li Zhou.

"Is it the Liaoyuan Family?" Ling Ying took a deep breath, his fist behind his back clenched quietly. The other three also focused their eyes on Ling Xiao, waiting for him to give the correct answer.

Ling Xiao looked at the four people in front of him, paused, and nodded slowly.

Although they had already guessed, after really confirming that the news was correct, the four of them couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines. After all, it was one of the four major families, the Liaoyuan family, and a tragedy had happened, and anyone would be a little unacceptable for a while.

Lin Xiao said: "Although the Liaoyuan family is not as good as our Ziyang Divine Sect, after all, it is also one of the four major families, with a deep foundation and not weak strength. The fact that a big family with such strength can be wiped out overnight shows that the murderer behind all this is not simple, not only ruthless, but also extraordinary. ”

"Not bad. Yun Ya nodded in agreement with his disciple's opinion, his brows furrowed, "If it weren't for the conspiracy and trickery, if it was to confront it head-on, even the Ten Thousand Saints Ming Sect would not be able to move so quickly to wipe out the Great Cultivation True Family, and it didn't even let out the slightest rumor." If it weren't for Senior Brother Ling observing the fall of the Destiny Star, I was afraid that the news of the Liaoyuan Family's extinction would have been wiped out forever. ”

Yunxiao said: "Dad, then should we notify the other three families as soon as possible, and then send someone to help." Otherwise, the enemy took advantage of his unpreparedness to start the next move, and he was afraid that the other three would also be more than lucky. ”

"It is inevitable to be informed, but the four major families are thousands of miles apart, and the news is not clear, we lack evidence, and I don't know if the other three families will believe our words. Yun Ya said, "And the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light, and if we act rashly, I am afraid that not only will it not help, but it will only add a lot of trouble." ”

"Senior brother, it's really impossible to act rashly, but it's not okay to sit back and wait for death. Li Zhuhuang said: "The murderer seems to be eyeing my Xiuzhen faction, this time the slaughter of the Liaoyuan family is full of doors, it seems to be aimed at the four major families, it is difficult to ensure that it is not the enemy's plan to attack the west, and it will be unfavorable to our faction." ”

"For now, we will first send a letter to inform the other three families of this matter, and then secretly send our disciples to the south to investigate the extermination incident, find out the origin and intentions of the murderer, and then act at the opportunity. In this way, it is the best policy. ”

Yun Ya nodded: "It makes sense. Then he turned to Lin Xiao and the four of them, and ordered: "Then the four of you will go down the mountain to investigate the case of the destruction of the Liaoyuan family, which is also regarded as an experience." ”

"But remember, this is a very dangerous trip to the cunning and cunning of the masterminds, and the cruelty of its methods is also outrageous, and you must be careful and cautious in your affairs. ”

The four of them bowed down and received the order: "Yes! ”

"Leave tomorrow at noon, hurry up and pack your bags. Yun Ya said lightly: "If you complete the task this time, I will not pursue the matter of violating the ban on night travel today." ”

The four people who had just turned around and were about to leave instantly broke out in a cold sweat when they heard this, and they were immediately petrified in place......

It's just that the road has been hidden from the world, but who would have thought that it was still in the five-finger mountain of the head of the family, and he never escaped half a step!

3.

Nanyuan, Ningcheng, Linfeng Restaurant.

"What are the guest officers here?" The shopkeeper hurriedly served food to the people at the other tables, wiped his sweat casually with the towel draped over his shoulders, and hurriedly ran to Lin Xiao's table and asked.

"Braised beef, carp in the wine trough, stir-fried cabbage sum with duck paws, elbow in sauce, and a few pots of good wine for us. Lin Xiao fluently reported the name of the dish, and the shopkeeper hurriedly went to greet the master in the back kitchen to make it.

Ling Ying pulled Lin Xiao's sleeve and said, "We'll have to do business in a while, don't let me drink and make mistakes." ”

Lin Xiao couldn't help but glance at him: "I know, you are the first time I go down the mountain." And let me tell you, this is the largest restaurant and inn in the whole Ningcheng, you see that there are people coming and going here all the year round, there are merchants who come and go from the south to the north, and there is no lack of monks who travel all over the world, from the rich families to the common people. ”

"Therefore, this place must also be the most well-informed place in the entire Ningcheng. After a while, when the little second comes to serve the food, we can talk to him. ”

After a while, the shopkeeper brought a tray and put all the dishes that Lin Xiao wanted, and ran to get them two pots of wine and a few cups. Lin Xiao took out the money bag and paid for it, and took an extra piece of broken silver out to him, and the shopkeeper couldn't help but be surprised: "Son, what are you?"

"I just paid for the food, and this is the news. A few of us are new to the city, and we don't know much about the situation in Ningcheng, so there are some things I want to ask you. Lin Xiao used his wine cup to hold a glass of wine and pushed it in front of the shopkeeper, and he directly lifted the wine pot and took a sip.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and after receiving the money, he squatted down directly beside Lin Xiao: "Son, if you ask me, then you are asking the right person, little brother, I live here all the year round, and our restaurant welcomes visitors from all over the world, and the news is the most well-informed." If Childe wants to know something, just ask, and promise to answer all questions. ”

"That's good. Lin Xiao shook the wine jug in his hand, tilted his head and considered it a little, "Has there been any ...... 'big' incident in Ningcheng recently?" ”

"Big?" shopkeeper was puzzled for a moment, "I don't know what Childe means by 'big', how much 'big' does it have to be to be considered 'big'?"

"Well, for example, is there any evil that disturbs people, demons are rampant, who kills people and sells goods......" Lin Xiao took a sip of wine and suddenly lowered his tone, "Or is it...... Destroy the door?"

"Extinguish...... Destroy the door?!" The shopkeeper seemed to be startled by these two sudden words, really thought about it carefully, and then shook his head vigorously: "No." If this really happened, it would have been spread in the city a long time ago, and there would not have been a little wind without hearing it. But the one you just mentioned, Childe...... What's that...... Evil is annoying, isn't it? There's something strange about me. ”

"Tell me about it. Lin Xiao said.

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to the west and said: "There is a murderous house in the west of the city, it has been several years, and there was originally a very famous local outsider who lived there more than ten years ago, and then the outsider didn't pay attention, and as a result, he offended some people on the underworld, and the whole family was retaliated against and died overnight." At that time, I heard that the man's blood was all over the house. ”

"What's more troublesome is still to come, after the death of the other family, I think there is a spirit after death, and the ghost will not disperse, I don't know what kind of magic power was used, and the murderer of his whole family was hanged at the door of his house within seven days, and according to the puppet in the yamen, those who committed suicide were already scared to death alive before they were hanged!"

"Sounds interesting, but then?"

"It's not over, and then every time there is a ghost cry in the house, which makes people uneasy, and some people pass by there at night, as if they have lost their souls, and they go in, and never come out, as if they were eaten by the house. ”

After that, a few monks and Taoists came one after another to collect the troubles, but they either returned in vain, or they were disgraced by those fierce and resentful spirits; Later, the Liaoyuan family came forward to deal with the matter, and the matter stopped. ”

Lin Xiao nodded: "This matter is quite big. But you also said that this was more than ten years ago, and I asked about what happened recently. ”

"Childe, don't worry, I haven't finished yet. The shopkeeper took the wine in front of him and drank it all, and continued: "Since the Liaoyuan family made a move, this matter has stopped for more than ten years. But just over two months ago, the house began to eat people again, and it made a ghost cry that was even more terrifying than before. Some people even said that they could still hear the screams of the family before they died that night, one after another, and it was terrible to think about it!"

"Then why didn't the Liaoyuan family come forward this time?"

"It's strange to say. This is to be changed to the past, and within half a month after this kind of thing happened, someone would have already sent someone to serve the troubled place to Lian Guo. But somehow, there was no movement at all this time, someone came to visit the door to ask the immortal master to get rid of it, but the door of the Liaoyuan family was always closed, and there was no sound from inside, and there was not even a single disciple guarding the door outside. ”

Lin Xiao frowned: "More than two months ago?"

"yes. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, this is still fake?!" said the shopkeeper, "And just two days ago, this Liaoyuan family did not move during the day, and it began to become restless at night. ”

"Could it be...... The Liaoyuan family also started to scream at night, right?"

"Not really, but I've heard that the sound is like smashing something, and it's slamming to death. I guess this Liaoyuan family must have caused some trouble. ”

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he shook his head and got up and left. Lin Xiao and the four of them didn't speak quietly for a long time, and it took a while for Li Zhou to break the silence and say: "The ghost screams of the murderous mansion in the west of the city have been dumb for more than ten years, but it is such a coincidence that the Liaoyuan family will be active again as soon as the door is destroyed. It seems that there is a real connection. ”

It was rare for Lin Xiao not to quarrel with Li Zhou: "Back then, the murderous mansion was chaotic and disturbing, and the Liaoyuan family must have laid some forbidden formation there to forcibly suppress the Yin Spirit there." I think that now that the caster is dead, the ban has been broken. The resentful spirits in the murderous mansion have been suppressed for many years and have not been freed, and now as soon as the restraints are released, they will cause a group of rebellions, so the chaos is more serious than more than ten years ago. ”

"But I still can't figure out why it was more than two months ago. Yunxiao frowned and said incomprehensibly, "This shows that the Liaoyuan family had an accident two months ago, but the fall of the Ming Ming Star was a matter of these two days." Could it be that we are thinking wrong, the destruction of the Liaoyuan family did not happen overnight, but a process of being slowly slaughtered. ”

Ling Ying shook his head: "That's not quite right. If the time is extended to more than two months, there is no reason why the slightest rumor will not be released; even if it is completely suppressed, according to the strength of the Liaoyuan family, it is impossible to even transmit a single message, and although the murderer is strong, he will not be able to do such a leak. Unless ......"

"Unless the murderer infiltrates the Liaoyuan family in advance. Li Zhou took over and said, Ling Ying nodded slowly.

"In fact, when we asked Xiao Er the first question, in some ways, it was already contrary to our previous guess......"

Lin Xiao took a chopstick and dipped it in the soup and gestured back and forth on the table: "According to what we thought before, the murderer has not released a little wind to the outside world while destroying the Liaoyuan family. ”

"It would have been difficult to quickly erase a powerful family without leaking the news, but we immediately thought that the mastermind behind the scenes might have the same strength as the Ten Thousand Saints Ming Sect, so although this matter is difficult, it is not impossible to do. ”

"However, according to what Xiao Erfang said, such a big tragedy of destroying the door did not cause the slightest stir in Ningcheng, and the murderer not only had to hide from the entire cultivation realm, but also from the ears and eyes of hundreds of people in the entire Ningcheng, it was impossible to do this!"

"The fall of the fate star is a fact that several of us and the heads of the sect have witnessed for all to see. Ling Ying said, "What we need to find out now is how the murderer managed to quietly erase the Liaoyuan family within two months, and what is the origin of the murderer, and then send the news back to the master." ”

Yunxiao said: "The mastermind behind this scene can hide from everyone to do such a thing without revealing it, and it is not easy to find this person is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." I don't think if we were too straightforward to find clues to the murderer, would we be alarmed?"

Li Zhou nodded and said, "I agree with Senior Sister's opinion. But in any case, we may have to go to the Liaoyuan family first, otherwise we won't be able to start. ”

"Definitely!" Lin Xiao slapped his chopsticks with a smile, "There is another place, you can also go and take a look first." ”

"Where is it?" Ling Ying and the three of them asked in unison.

Lin Xiao picked a few chopsticks and put the carp in the wine trough into his mouth, and at the same time stretched out his hand to the west and pointed: "That ghost house in the west of the city!"
