"This is ......," Chen Rong saw Cecilia in the room.

At this time, Cecilia did not wear a hat and a masked scarf, because in the room, wearing these things would look strange and make people suspect that there was something wrong.

Seeing Cecilia's appearance as a "Fanbang woman", Chen Rong was very puzzled.

Bai Xiaowen had already thought about it and said: "This is a friend I met when I traveled to the Western Regions, she saved my life, and the two of us are friends of life and death." ”

"I see...... Chen Rong looked at Cecilia's eyes, still a little uncomfortable, but he had let down his guard.

Bai Xiaowen continued to ask, "Miss Chen came here late at night, it should be for what just happened, right?"

Chen Rong nodded: "Brother Lu, do you have any other clues?"

Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "I'm sorry, I heard an extremely subtle shout, so I immediately rushed out, but because I was not familiar with the layout of the house and the road conditions, and it was inconvenient to cross the door, it was already late when I arrived, but you and that Elder Tang arrived first." ”

Chen Rong said: "The deceased Shangqing sect disciple is named Zhou Wu, and he is one of the elite disciples who participated in the discussion of the Tao in this Shangqing ceremony. This is the third time this month that a disciple of the Shangqing Sect has been killed...... Because the incident happened in the inner gate of the Shangqing Sect, which could be called a scandal, Elder Tang didn't want outsiders to know. ”

"Elder Tang and Miss Chen checked Zhou Wu's body, did they find any clues about the murderer?" Bai Xiaowen asked.

Chen Rong shook his head: "Senior Brother Zhou Wu, he was strangled by a huge force and died by twisting his neck. There was no xenomorph energy left on his corpse, so there was no way to deduce the origin of the murderer. ”

"Twist your neck?" Bai Xiaowen felt a little surprised, the battle of the monk has always been a battle of Taoism, even if it is a martial artist, he also relies on his weapon to use his sword qi to hurt the enemy. This kind of brutal method of directly twisting the neck is really a bit rare.

"Since there have been cases of disciples being killed in the Shangqing Sect, why do they still hold a ceremony as scheduled? Doesn't this give foreign forces an opportunity to sneak in? Bai Xiaowen asked.

Chen Rong said: "The head of the retreat, big and small affairs, are decided by the elders. Some of the elders did want to postpone the ceremony, but they were opposed by most of the elders led by Elder Tang. The Shangqing faction had already invited the masters of the righteous path faction to observe the ceremony, and the sudden suspension of the ceremony would not be trustworthy on the one hand, and on the other hand, after the true reason was known, the Shangqing faction would definitely laugh at the internal chaos and lose the face of the sect. ”

Bai Xiaowen understood that the Shangqing faction was really out of the stinky temper of a famous faction, and the loss was small, and the loss was big.

"I don't know if Miss Chen found me, what did I have to serve?" Bai Xiaowen skillfully tried to trigger the task.

Chen Rong said: "The ceremony is approaching, I have to prepare for the Daoist Conference, and I don't have time to investigate this series of cases. I hope Brother Lu can help me and investigate secretly...... Because I suspect that there are internal ghosts in the sect, I dare not entrust this matter to other fellow sects. ”

Bai Xiaowen quickly got a hint of the rules of the spirit world.

"Heroic side quest: [Murderer in the Dark] opens. ”

[Mission Objective: Investigate the serial murderers hidden in the Shangqing faction and find evidence.] 】”

"[Difficulty: A]"

"[Mission Duration: None (equivalent to the remaining time you spend on your own plane)]"

[Reward: 500 spirit crystals.] 】”

Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes.

The task is definitely to be accepted, and the reward of 500 spirit crystals is secondary, this is an opportunity to deeply participate in the sectarian struggle of the Shao Positioning Plane, and it is also an important beginning to open up the situation, of course, it should not be missed.

However, before taking on the task, you should still make it clear that the benefits and conveniences that should be won should not be missing at all.

Bai Xiaowen opened his mouth and said, "Miss Chen entrusted me with such a heavy responsibility, of course it is my duty. However, I am not familiar with the situation of the inner gate of the Shangqing Sect, and I heard Elder Tang say that the inner gate is under the shroud of the mountain protection array, and if I trigger the prohibition, wouldn't I have put my life in it. ”

Chen Rong said: "Brother Lu doesn't have to worry. ”

As he spoke, Chen Rong took out a painting scroll and handed it to Bai Xiaowen and said, "The mountain protection array is only for people who don't know how to move, and the ban will be triggered." We, the inner disciples, all know the walking routes within the Mountain Protection Array, and now I will hand over the route map to you. ”

After a pause, Chen Rong said again: "Brother Lu, try not to be discovered by others, including our people from the inner sect of the Shangqing Sect. After finding clues and finding evidence, I came directly to the Huxin Water Pavilion to find me. ”

Bai Xiaowen took the scroll and asked, "I am confident that I can avoid the eyes and ears of the disciples of the Shangqing Dynasty. However, the elders of the Shangqing Sect are all powerful, and if I don't happen to walk near them, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me not to be discovered. ”

Chen Rong held a ball of light things in his hand and handed it to Bai Xiaowen: "This is a fish-patterned coat given by the master." As long as Brother Lu is draped on his body, he can not only hide his tracks, but also isolate his body temperature and shield most of his spiritual senses from detecting. ”

Bai Xiaowen took it, and the Eye of Evolution swept over the fish-patterned cloak, and after unfolding it, it could be seen that it was a cloak.

[Fish-patterned clothing: gold quality. Spiritual protection C+ level, additional skill: Stealth: After wearing the fish-patterned cloak and cloak, it can make the wearer invisible and isolate heat, and greatly increase the wearer's ability to conceal the spiritual sense. 】

There is also a small line at the end:

"The skill of the fish pattern coat is hidden, and it needs to constantly consume the unique aura of the Shangqing faction, so it can only take effect within the scope of the Shangqing faction's mountain protection array. ”

Obviously, this fish-patterned suit has a powerful stealth effect, but it has a limited area of effect, which is equivalent to a quest item.

After Bai Xiaowen took the fish-patterned clothes, he said, "Miss Chen, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to help you investigate." Then he chose to take on the task.

Chen Rong smiled: "Brother Lu, pay attention to safety." If it is really discovered by the disciples or elders of the Shangqing Sect, then report my name. ”

Chen Rong was just about to leave, when Bai Xiaowen suddenly said, "Wait a minute......"

Chen Rong looked back in confusion.

"Miss Chen, do you have any extra fish-patterned clothes? I have a companion. Bai Xiaowen pointed to Cecilia beside him.

The smile on Chen Rong's face was closed, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Lu, this matter involves the reputation of the sect, and you are the only one I can trust. As for this woman from the Western Regions, please sit in the quiet room and don't have to participate. ”

"Okay. Bai Xiaowen sent Chen Rong away.

After the other party left, Cecilia whispered: "I always feel that this Chen Rong looks a little unpleasant." Does she like you?"

"I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense. ”

Bai Xiaowen hurriedly denied it.
