Hearing Gao Huan's reminder, Xiao Yi hurriedly held his breath and withdrew his divine sense.

It's a quaint courtyard. Just like most of the buildings in Yejiabao, it feels like it is covered with moss of time.

In the city, a building that is two or three hundred years old can be called a new house. If you have to estimate the age of this courtyard, Xiao Yi can be sure that Beiji has not yet been founded, and I am afraid that this courtyard has existed for a long time.

"Let's go quietly, the monks here should not have married yet. It's just that you have to be more careful not to let people find out. ”

It was only when the two of them walked to the practice room of a separate courtyard, and the little fox who had been persuading Xiao Yi exploded his hair, and the fangs in his mouth gradually poked out.

"Mr. Gao, what's wrong? What's going on? There's a forbidden place here, and my hearing can't hear what's going on inside. ”

Before he could hear the answer, the temperature suddenly plummeted. The originally closed door opened suddenly, and Gao Huan had rushed indoors in the blink of an eye.

At this time, there was a middle-aged monk in the room extracting the soul pill, and the door suddenly opened, and before he could exclaim, a snow-white arm had already penetrated his chest. This monk's clothes are wearing magic weapon robes, and ordinary swords can't hurt him at all. This is the person in front of him but penetrating his chest with his bare hands, what kind of realm of cultivation is this?

When Xiao Yi arrived in the room, all he saw was the beating heart in the little fox's hand and the corpse lying on the ground.

"Gao Gongzi. What the hell happened? Why didn't you ask anything, and you started killing people?"

Gao Huan dropped the heart in his hand, and his mood gradually calmed down. A faint blue fox fire ignited in her hand, and with a wave of her hand, she threw it on a pile of flesh on the ground beside her.

"What is this? This ......"

Before Xiao Yat could continue to ask, he clearly heard a long and cheerful groan in his ears. As the fox fire gradually extinguished, the pile of flesh and blood on the ground was burned into nothingness.

Gao Huan took a long breath, and two lines of tears slowly flowed from his raised face.

"This is a minor friar of the Firefox Clan. Although it is not from the Spirit Fox Clan, it is extremely rare to be able to open the foundation of spiritual wisdom on this continent. It was this Terran monk just now, and he was scraping this fire fox alive, using its painful soul to prepare to refine some kind of magic weapon. ”

Xiao Yi's face was solemn, did this little fox kill a fox because the other party killed him?

"If there is a hungry wolf biting at a human, will you kill the hungry wolf and save the poor human?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yi nodded approvingly. If a beast hurts people, it is natural that everyone will be punished. But the little fox is killing a human now......

"I look at beasts as you look at humans. It's not this son who killed! It's really this person who is too cruel. Take his life, just kill him. But he actually tortured the other party in such a way. This is no longer a difference between man and beast, it is completely a distortion of entering the path of demons!"

Xiao Yiping rarely kills. Once you kill someone, it must be the other party who commits a heinous crime. Even if Yao Ping'er's father had his legs broken, he only looted the family's money and burned down the other party's shop.

"Gao Gongzi is angry, since the other party has been killed by Gongzi, then let's clean up and leave here quickly. ”

Although Xiao Yat still can't accept the motive for this killing. But he still tried to persuade himself, not that the other party was too radical, but that his mentality was not correct.

"We can't leave yet. Hurry up and find out if there are any valuable clues here. ”

Without waiting for Xiao Yat to answer, Gao Huan began to look for any clues that could be used for research.

There was nothing of value in the monk's storage bag. Just as the two cleaned up the corpses and debris and were about to step out of the room, a painting on the wall attracted Gao Huan's attention.

This is an ancient painting. Xiao Yi's divine sense was invested in it, but he didn't feel half of the spiritual power fluctuation. The painting depicts a pastoral scene with looming mountain peaks in the distance.

This painting is not the work of a famous artist, at most it is very old. It's a pity that it is precisely because of this that Xiao Yi also has some doubts.

It is not the handiwork of a famous artist, why should the other party cherish the inheritance for thousands of years? You must know that as a cultivator, even if you can't compare your net worth with the royal family, it is not comparable to that of ordinary rich people. However, a mortal rich family also disdains to inherit such an anonymous painting, why would this Ye family hang it in the room?

The two returned to the inn, and they were to lie dormant all night tonight, and wait until the next day to find out what was going on on the trip.

It's just that the next day, there wasn't the slightest change in the family. It's as if the other person's disappearance is a common thing.

Gao Huan returned to the inn, took out a black porcelain vase he found the night before, and looked at it in a daze for a long time.

"Gao Gongzi, is there something wrong with this bottle? I see that you have been staring at it today, have you found any problems?"

Gao Huan waved his hand and took out a gold-lettered black talisman.

"This is the Soul Snatcher talisman in the monk's hand, at least a mid-level talisman. It's just that this is a soul sealing talisman that has been used many times. Faintly, I could also sense a faint talisman on the vial. ”

Xiao Yi picked up the vial and looked up and down suspiciously: "The talisman has been used many times, but this vial is still empty." The man tortured the fox and tortured the soul of the little beast...... Is his purpose to put his soul in a bottle? What effect does that have to him?"

The two looked at each other and were speechless for a long time. They couldn't find out what secret the little bottle was hiding.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have killed him so soon! If I had searched for souls, why would it be so troublesome?"

Xiao Yi looked at the little fox in surprise, as if she was blaming Xiao Yi. Why did you get impulsive, but instead of blaming yourself, you also had to blame yourself?

"Master Gao, I want to cultivate the Divine Consciousness Method, if there is anything else to ask, can you hurry up and ask it now?"

Gao Huan looked at Xiao Yi, dropped a big white eye, turned around and went back to his bed and fell asleep.

Xiao Yat sat on the couch, closed his eyes and concentrated. Zhihai began to call for his master.

"Thirty-three, what do you want to ask for advice this time?"

Xiao Yat hurriedly recounted what happened last night. After a while, the voice of the old man of the stubborn stone came from the opposite side.

"Thirty-three, what you are talking about is indeed a kind of soul sealing and imprisoning technique. It's just that this spell is a method for opening some kind of passage, do you know where he is going to open?"

Xiao Yi thought about it carefully, but still didn't have a clue.

"Master, is it the Demon Domain Passage that he wants to open? The Demon Clan and the Human Race here are all busy preparing for the opening of the Demon Domain Passage!"

Xiao Yi said very solemnly, but the old man on the opposite side heard a loud laugh.

"Thirty-three, do you think that a little monk in the foundation building period can open the passage of the Demon Domain? If even this kind of little guy can open the Demon Domain, then my cultivation realm will not have to defend against the Demon Clan every day?"

Thinking about it, how could the opening of the Demon Domain that alarmed the existence of the gods of all races be such a means of a little monk?

"It's good that it's not the Demon Domain. Master, can you give some hints to the disciples? The disciples really don't know what to do. ”

"Son, find out for yourself. As a teacher, I believe that you will find the cause and effect of things. ”

Xiao Yi still wanted to ask the old man again, but he didn't want the other party to have already broken off this connection.

That night, the two came to the outer courtyard of the Ye family again. Still sneaking in, only this time the little fox didn't dare to be impulsive anymore. She quietly followed behind Xiao Yi, and at this time she had a doubt in her heart. This kid is very skilled, before he didn't cultivate the truth, he shouldn't have often slipped into the boudoir of a big family in the middle of the night, right?

There is also a foundation monk in the courtyard here. It's just that at this time, he meditated and cultivated, and he didn't kill any spirit beasts like that person yesterday.

After feeling it carefully for half an hour, Xiao Yi motioned to the little fox to suppress the other party with his spirit. Immediately, Gao Huan made a move and injected a stream of divine incense into his body.

"Master Gao, let's look for it first and see if there are any clues that can be found. If you search for his soul directly, it will hurt the peace of heaven after all. It's not easy for this person to cultivate, if you ......"

Gao Huan glanced at Xiao Yi, and then began to look for suspicious things in the room.

"It's ...... Soul Bottle!"

Gao Huan took out a black porcelain vase from the monk's storage bag, on which were engraved with tiny ancient tadpole inscriptions. This time, the remnant aura of the soul inside was more obvious than the previous one.

"Master Gao, I remember that there was a book about this kind of soul bottle. Because it should be a ritual instrument for opening some kind of small passage and forbidding it. But what channel will be opened, Xiao has no way of knowing. ”

Seeing Xiao Yi's promise, Gao Huan cast a white eye with disdain.

"Why didn't you say it before? Look at what is here? Open the passage, what do you think is like a passage here? I didn't find any clues for a single primordial baby, just because you have no mana, and you still say......"

Gao Huan said as he rummaged around. When she saw an ancient painting scratched on the wall, her voice gradually stopped.

"I think I saw this painting yesterday, right? The one in the middle is a snow-capped mountain, and there are peaks on both sides, but there is a faint snow-capped peak in the middle. Down here......"

Xiao Yi heard what Gao Huan said, and slowly walked to the front of the ancient painting. When he looked at the field of Gao Huan's finger, he was surprised to find that the wooden door on it was open.

"This is not yesterday's painting! The door to the painting I saw yesterday is closed!"

Xiao Yi hurriedly took the ancient painting off the wall, and checked it up and down for a long time, but he never found anything wrong with the scroll.

"It's also an anonymous ancient painting, and the age is basically the same as the previous one. What the hell is going on?"

Before Xiao Yi could turn around and ask the reason, Gao Huan waved his hand to place a ban. Then the whole person rushed to the outside of the room.

After a while, the little fox went and returned, with an unbelievable look on his face.

"Mr. Gao, what did you do just now?"

Gao Huan walked into the room suspiciously, and said to himself, "No! Yesterday I remember that the wooden door of the painting was closed. Why did you just go to see it, and it's also open?"

It turned out that Gao Huan felt a little abnormal, so he rushed back to the courtyard yesterday to investigate. It turned out that the scene in the old painting had changed. Out of caution, she went to the next courtyard. Without disturbing the foundation-building monks, he carefully inspected the room they were in. I found that there was an identical ancient painting in all the rooms.

"I think I've found the entrance to the passage you are talking about. ”

"Looks like I've found it too!"

The two glanced at each other and hurriedly hung the ancient painting on the wall. Then they hurried back to the inn, and when they entered the room, they let out a long breath.

"Mr. Gao, let's go ...... tomorrow"

Before Xiao Yi finished speaking, he saw the little fox wave his hand and take out a scroll of ancient paintings from the storage bag.

"Do you want to get this painting back, that scum is dead anyway, so it's a waste to keep this thing in an empty room!"

Xiao Yat didn't say much. After all, Gao Huan is a Yuanying Demon Cultivator, and even if he wants to dissuade him, it will be in vain. What's more, this little fox shouldn't be able to hear others talk about her. In fact, just now Xiao Yi just wanted to say that he was studying this ancient painting in that room. After all, as something he didn't understand, once he left the room, he didn't know if he would be noticed by the Ye family monks.

It's a pity that until dawn, the little fox still didn't find any clues related to the opening of the passage.

"You can study this later! Inquire for another day today, if there is still no news, then tomorrow we will go directly to the Ye family to reveal our identity. ”

Seeing that the little fox had lost his patience again, Xiao Yi had no choice but to go out on his own to find clues about Bai Qi in the city.

He ate some noodle soup on the side of the street, and then began to wander around aimlessly. Unconsciously, he came to the side of the Ye family's clan residence in the city.

"Go back! No trespassing here!"

A voice sounded, and Xiao Yat felt like he had hit an invisible wall.

"I'm sorry! Let's go!"

Xiao Yi said as he lowered his head and turned to leave. A magic circle was set up here, which was almost non-existent in Xiao Yi's previous experience.

Walking so many sects, although each family has its own protective array, it is all in the deep mountains, dense forests and seas. This is the first time I have encountered such a mortal city openly setting up a magic circle to block mortals from approaching.

A pair of boots suddenly appeared in front of him, and Xiao Yi knew that it was colliding with someone, so he hurriedly dodged sideways. But I didn't expect the other party to actually step sideways in the same direction, and as a result, the two blocked each other's way again.

"This son, stand still......"

The other party made a sound, stepped aside, and at the moment when the two passed by, suddenly the other party pressed Xiao Yi's shoulder.

When Xiao Yi reached out to grab it, his first reaction was to counter the other party. But he is now an ordinary mortal, and if he shows his skills, he will inevitably invite even more trouble.

Fighting with people, if you are an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts, then the other party won't care too much. But if you use martial arts, no matter how high or low, the opponent will pay special attention to it, and even kill you at the first time.

"Childe is still used to living in the castle these days?"

Hearing the other party's question, Xiao Yi looked up at the other party. But for a moment, I couldn't remember where I had seen this person.

"Hahahaha! Childe had asked Ye about the inn that day......"

Hearing the young man's reminder, Xiao Yi remembered who the other party was. So he hurriedly clenched his fists and arched his hands: "It's rude to He." Thanks to Ye Gongzi's guidance that day, Heyi saved a lot of trouble. ”

"I laughed with Childe. Ye also pointed out casually that day, it was nothing. But why did He Gongzi come here today?Could it be that there are also acquaintances of my Ye family who live here?" Ye Tiannan looked at Xiao Yi with a smile, and this smile did not have the slightest malice at all.

He just looked down and thought about things, and accidentally bumped into something...... It seems that someone else asked me to leave! Ye Gongzi smiled, smiled. ”

Xiao Yi smiled awkwardly. Obviously, others don't believe his statement of walking with his head down at all, but Ye Tiannan didn't doubt it at all.

"So that's the case! Then Ye is going to remind Hegongzi. The center of our city of Yejiabao is forbidden for outsiders to enter. In order not to cause other trouble, it is better to ask him not to get close to him as much as possible. ”

Xiao Yi hurriedly nodded yes, hugged his fists and said goodbye, turned around and walked back the way he came.

Ye Tiannan looked at Xiao Yi's distant figure, then shook his head and chuckled. He turned around and hurried towards his home.

As soon as he entered, he was pulled by his sister to a corner outside the crowd.

"Third brother, why did you come back? Today, my father has a big birthday, and the two brothers have presented congratulatory gifts. You're coming back so late, aren't you afraid to let your dad pick on it?"

Looking at his sister who kept complaining about him, Ye Tiannan could only shrug helplessly.

"Now that the eldest brother and the second brother have already paid their respects, the guests feel that it is enough. Of the three brothers of our Ye family, only one of me is still cultivating in the middle stage of foundation building. I'm not growing up so much, and my dad will be angry when he sees me. Anyway, the congratulatory gift was given to him, and whether my waste material appeared or not should make no difference to his old man, right?"

Ye Tianxin looked at his third brother, and he was so angry that he almost wanted to go crazy. Although compared to the two elder brothers, his third brother is more than ten years younger. But he entered the middle stage of foundation building in his twenties, how could he be regarded as a waste material? Just go out to the Ye family, at his level, where is he not an elite disciple who has been greatly cultivated?

"Third brother, this time the secret ground is opened, you can enter it to seek a breakthrough. There's no need to hunt those low-level desolate beasts on the periphery all day long. As long as you go in once......"

"Don't say it! Remember what the third brother said, our Ye family's secret land, you should never be tempted. Don't persuade me!The third brother has made up his mind, whether he can enter or not, that is the fate of the third brother, other cultivation sects do not have a secret place like our Ye family, and don't they have a large number of Jindan Yuan Infants?"

Seeing that Ye Tiannan's tone was resolute, Ye Tianxin had no choice. Although she was about to burst into tears at this time, what could she do? Blame, she could only complain that the secret land opening method left by the ancestor of the Ye family was too ruthless.

His third brother has been a talented and intelligent person since he was a child, but even if the family secret land is on the periphery, he has to use the spirit beast soul every time to open it. Over the years, the third brother has searched everywhere and killed how many scum of Xiuzhen have barely entered the middle stage of foundation building.

Ye Tianxin tightened the black porcelain vial in his palm, and in the end he didn't give it to Ye Tiannan to use.

There's no way, his third brother is such a stubborn character. Saying nothing, he refused to kill the demon beast and drained his soul. Speaking of which, I am the closest to this third brother, probably because of this, right?

"Tiannan! Just in time, you have also rushed back! Go and kowtow to your father's birthday! Such a big person! Why are you still so ignorant? Today, my father's birthday, is it appropriate for you to come back so late? I have been busy taking care of my eldest brother in the house for the past two days......

It was the second son of the Ye family, Ye Tianqiu, a monk in the middle of the Jindan period......
