After returning to the barracks, Xiang Yuan beckoned to Wang Bai.

"Your mind is spinning so fast, I really thought you could apologize so simply. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Xiang Yuan looked at Wang Bai with a smile, and Wang Bai's apology scene was neither humble nor arrogant, but it surprised him.

"Hey, little things.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise we would have made a big fool of ourselves today. ”

Grinning twice, Wang Bai raised his eyebrows proudly.

If it weren't for the jade inlaid on the heels of the pair of men's and women's boots with his sharp eyes just now, I am afraid that they would be in big trouble today.

"Peach-patterned jade, tsk.

The best jade, which is difficult to sell in the county town, is set on their shoes like this, which is really a tyrannical thing. ”

"Just now I saw the pair of men and women going straight to the camp of the Chinese army, probably some master invited by the army.

You must keep an eye on them in the past two days, and you must not poke the basket, otherwise you will be slaughtered, and there will be nowhere to reason. ”

can take the best jade and inlay it on the shoes, this pair of men and women are either rich or expensive.

Such an existence is far from something they can offend.

It can be said that if it weren't for Wang Bai's cleverness this time, he saw the jade on their feet, thought of their identities, and immediately stepped forward to apologize.

I don't know how big the trouble will be this time.

Just when Xiang Yuan and Wang Bai were rejoicing about what happened just now, there was a knock on the door.

The door opened, and the officer who had brought Xiang Yuan and them to this barracks appeared in front of Xiang Yuan and the others.

"Pass on the order of the deputy lieutenant, and your task of assisting in the defense will end today.

You can go home. Handing a bag of silver taels to Xiang Yuan, the officer continued: "This is your reward, the lieutenant and the deputy lieutenant are receiving distinguished guests, and there is no time to leave."

Pack your things and go. ”

After passing the words, the officer turned and left, leaving Xiang Yuan and Wang Bai looking at each other.

That's the end of the patrol mission?

But it is a good thing for them to be able to go back at the end, and seeing that the weather is getting colder, it is really uncomfortable to patrol the streets all night.

Beckon one of the disciples to give him the money and distribute it to the rest of the disciples.

Xiang Yuan pulled Wang Bai to the side: "You said that the captain suddenly ended our patrol mission, could it be because of that pair of men and women?"

"Quite possibly, otherwise why would they let us go back as soon as they came.

Forget it, no matter what the reason is, he can go back anyway, the bed here always smells musty, and it smells bad......"

As for why he suddenly let himself go back, Wang Bai was not very interested.

In his opinion, it is a good thing to be able to go back, regardless of his reason.

But Xiang Yuan didn't think so, the pair of men and women just now must have been invited by the captain of the city to deal with the strange masters in the city.

Then whether they are members of the family or disciples of the sect.

The desire for extraordinary power in his heart made Xiang Yuan desperately want to know the origin of the two.

But reason told him that whether it was a family or a sect, it was a behemoth that ordinary mortal forces could never reach.

Once you provoke them, it will be difficult to do good.

Looking in the direction of the Chinese army camp, Xiang Yuan took a few deep breaths.

With his fists clenched tightly, he slowly let go of the curiosity in his heart, turned around and packed up his things with Wang Bai and them, and prepared to return to Guanyimen!

......

Zhuyang guards the military camp in the city

Xie Tianxiong, the captain of the defending army, sat on the main seat, and below him sat the pair of men and women in white that Xiang Yuan had met before.

"The two of you have traveled thousands of miles to come to my Zhuyang City this time to help our people in Zhuyang get rid of the yin ghosts.

Captain Bendu is here first for the people of the city, and thanked the two of them. ”

"Captain Xie doesn't have to be polite, now there are yin ghosts in the entire Bazhong County in a row, not just my Hu family.

Including the Pei family in the plains and the Zhao family in Yueqiong Lake, they all sent their clansmen out one after another to help get rid of the yin ghosts.

My brother and sister also heard some news on the way here, and it is said that the yin ghosts in this vicinity did not happen in Zhuyang, but in a small city called Linquan.

Could it be that there is some kind of accident in this?"

Arching at Xie Tianxiong, Hu Kang asked curiously.

"Hu Gongzi is right, this yin ghost did happen in Linquan City at the beginning.

About three years ago, after the Yin Ghost appeared in Linquan City, I immediately led the soldiers of my headquarters to Linquan and eliminated the Yin Ghost there with a military array.

But who would have thought that the yin ghosts in Linquan are very stubborn, repeating themselves over and over again, extinguishing and resurrecting.

As a last resort, I had to lead my troops and stationed there for three years before I could completely eliminate the ghosts.

However, when we returned to Zhuyang after completing the task, we suddenly found that there were already Yin ghosts born in Zhuyang City, and it was difficult to estimate the level.

Originally, I wanted to ask for help from the Demon Mansion, but there has been a shortage of people in the mansion recently, so I had no choice but to issue a request for help and ushered in two people. ”

Xie Tianxiong's words made the Hu family brothers and sisters frown, although his brother and sister were now only twenty years old, they had already experienced several battles with the Yin Ghost.

If an ordinary yin ghost is born, it will definitely be enlightened by someone's life.

This is the tradition of the ghosts, as if they are declaring their sovereignty and status.

But so far, there have been no fatalities in Zhuyang City.

This is obviously not in line with the common sense of the birth of yin ghosts. That's why the Hu brothers and sisters feel very strange.

But if Xiang Yuan was here at this time, he would definitely think about it.

Three years ago, it was the day he came to Zhuyang!

Zhu Yang's sudden appearance and uncontrollable Yin Ghost may have something to do with him who once went to Linquan City, stayed there, and encountered the appearance of Yin Ghost!

It's a pity that Xiang Yuan has already packed up his things at this moment, and returned to Guanyi with Wang Bai and the other Guan Yi disciples.

There was no opportunity to provide this important information to Xie Tianxiong and the Hu family siblings.

"The yin ghosts in Zhuyang City are weird.

Please order that from now on, once it falls at night in Zhuyang City, no one is allowed to go out.

My brother and sister will be looking for traces of Yin Ghosts in Zhuyang City from tonight, please rest assured that Duwei Xie. ”

Although he couldn't understand why the Yin Ghost was so low-key this time, Hu Kang's answer still gave Xie Tianxiong a reassuring shot, after all, although their family members were above ordinary civilians.

But this land still has its own laws, ensuring the safety of civilians and not being disturbed by ghosts, and every family has nothing to shirk.

Moreover, now the power of domestic sects is gradually rising.

If they are not serious, win over a part of the people's hearts.

Maybe one day, they will really be replaced by those sects that fiddle with utensils!

......

After returning from the barracks to Guanyimen, all the disciples breathed a long sigh of relief.

Without the pressure of the task, the disciples all felt a sense of relief from their hearts.

"Are you going to take a bath?" Throwing the salute in his hand to the little brother beside him, Wang Bai turned his head and asked Xiang Yuan.

"I'm not going, I'll go and say hello to Master first. ”

Waving his hand at Wang Bai, Xiang Yuan walked towards Yang Jing's room.

When he came to Yang Jing's room, he knocked on the door lightly a few times, and Xiang Yuan stood respectfully outside the door, waiting for Yang Jing's answer before entering the room.

"It's back, no surprises. In the room, Yang Jing, who was making tea with a small copper kettle, looked up at Xiang Yuan and showed a smile.

"Well, everything is fine. ”

took the initiative to step forward to fill the tea leaves for Yang Jing according to the weight, and Xiang Yuan took the tweezers in his hand and said, "Master, I want to go back to Guangling tomorrow." ”

There is still some peace of mind in the heart of Guangling's family, this side has just unloaded the task of night patrol, Xiang Yuan immediately came to Yang Jing, hoping to go back to Guangling to have a look.

"What, is there something going on at home?"

Xiang Yuan's idea of going home surprised Yang Jing a little.

After all, judging from the performance of his apprentice over the years, he doesn't look like a person who is easy to miss home.

Now, as soon as I came back from the mission, I asked to go home to see, something must have happened at home.

"It's nothing, it's just that I've been out for a long time, and I want to go home and have a look. He didn't tell Yang Jing about the weird ghosts, Xiang Yuan just explained lightly that he wanted to go back and see because he was homesick.

"Well, since I'm homesick, let's go back and have a look. Looking at Xiang Yuan, who was bowing his head and swinging the tea leaves, Yang Jing nodded slowly: "Do you have any travel expenses, do you want Master to ......?"

"No need, Master, I have money. Packed the tea for Yang Jing, bowed to Yang Jing and saluted, then turned around and left Yang Jing's room.

Odd......

Stopping the movement in his hand and looking at the position of the door of the room, Yang Jing's eyes showed a hint of thought, and Xiang Yuan gave him the feeling that he was hiding something.

It's just that Xiang Yuan has been running a course for the past three years, and he has performed very well, except for practicing every day, he has almost no spare time, so Yang Jing can't figure out why he suddenly went home when he came back this time.

Perhaps, it's really homesick......

Shrugging his shoulders, Yang Jing picked up the small copper kettle and poured the boiling water inside into the green mud clay kettle on the tea table.

The hot water collides with the tea leaves, making a refreshing tea fragrance permeate the small half of the room in an instant......

......

After saying goodbye to Yang Jing, Xiang Yuan returned to his small courtyard, Ma Li packed a few clothes and travel expenses, took a roll of furoshi, and went on the road lightly.

Wang Bai, who had just walked out of the gate of the small courtyard and was about to come to find Xiang Yuan after taking a bath, saw him carrying a burden and preparing to go out.

"Eh, where is this going? Stopping Xiang Yuan, Wang Bai asked suspiciously.

"There's something at home that I need to go back and deal with. Without explaining to Wang Bai, Xiang Yuan said casually.

"What's the matter, do you want me to go with you?"

Seeing that Xiang Yuan was in a hurry, Wang Bai thought that something big had happened to Xiang Yuan's family, and directly proposed that he go with him to take a look.

"No, it's a family matter. Let's go first. ”

Waving his hand, Xiang Yuan patted Wang Bai's shoulder, raised his legs and strode towards the outside of Guanmen.
