143. Things have changed
The coercion of the Dan period is so easy to resist. At such a close distance, Yan Xiao felt like she was in the center of the whirlpool, and her breath was involuntarily stagnant.
The fishy sweet blood gushed up her throat, and Yan Xiao wanted to swallow it raw, but accidentally raised her eyes, but found a pair of eagle eyes staring straight at her. There was a strong sense of inquiry in the eyes.
Seeing this, Yan Xiao's throat suddenly relaxed.
"Poofโ" A mouthful of blood spurted straight out of her mouth.
"Hmph." Seeing this, the monk in the middle stage of the knot pill snorted lightly, brushed the blood splashed on his body with his hand, and the blood spots disappeared from his Dao robe in an instant.
What kind of person is the shopkeeper of Yingxian Pavilion, he saw that the leader was angry, and he didn't dare to come out at all.
Fortunately, he had a heart and stood with the people from the City Lord's Mansion. Sure enough, as soon as the coercion came out, the places where those people stood were not affected.
Looking at the unfazed expressions on the faces of those people, they were obviously used to the fact that during the investigation, the leading monk Jiedan gave the uncooperative monk a horse.
After snorting, Yan Xiao suddenly felt that the pressure on his body was light, and he knew that the person had withdrawn the coercion, so he immediately raised his sleeve and wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth.
"This guest officer, why didn't you see the senior brother who came with you?" The shopkeeper of Yingxian Pavilion seemed to be frightened, forgetting the question asked by the monk who had just taken the lead, so he reminded him as if he was asking.
Yan Xiao wiped the corners of his mouth, stabilized his breath, and then looked up at the shopkeeper a little blankly, "My senior brother, I went out early in the morning, didn't the shopkeeper see where he went?" โ
The shopkeeper didn't expect Yan Xiao to ask him like this, he was stunned when he heard this, obviously a little dazed.
"The little one took a few adults to patrol around the Yingxian Pavilion this morning, didn't it happen that your senior brother went out at that time?" The shopkeeper of Yingxian Pavilion was a sincere person, he really hadn't seen Ning Yuan, and in front of several people from the City Lord's Mansion, he had to make this guess.
"Oh?" Seeing this, the leading monk Jiedan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze was glued to Yan Xiao's face from beginning to end, with a deep inquiry.
Yan Xiao was no longer afraid of anything at this time, but just opened a pair of confused eyes, and glanced at the shopkeeper in a daze, "So you didn't see my senior brother?" Ah! Oh nobody, there's no one to testify for me! โ
She hurriedly turned her gaze back to the monk Yudan, and the eagerness in her eyes was palpable. "I only know that my senior brother has gone out, but I am cultivating, I only know that he has gone out, and he didn't leave me a word, and I don't know where he went!"
"So, can you let us go in and have a look?" The mid-foundation building monk who had been talking to Yan Xiao seemed to have received some instructions, and glanced at Yan Xiao with some embarrassment.
Yan Xiao thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, seemed to have made up a lot of determination, and said to everyone: "Okay, you can go in and have a look, so as to prove that I am telling the truth." With that, she stepped out of the way and gave way to the gate.
The monk smiled lightly, withdrew the gaze that was glued to Yan Xiao's body, and walked into the north courtyard.
"It's a nice place to be clean." The Tsukiji Consummation Male Cultivator, who had been silent from beginning to end, who had been following Monk Jiedan, suddenly turned his head and looked at the entire North Courtyard, chuckling casually.
How dare the shopkeeper of Yingxian Pavilion slack off because people are casual. He had no choice but to smile and say, "Yes, the north courtyard is the cleanest courtyard in our Yingxian Pavilion." โ
"Oh?" Hearing this, the male cultivator who built the foundation consummation raised his tone, and his eyes fell on Yan Xiao's face, "It seems that Daoyou is a person who likes to be quiet. โ
"Yes, my brother and I like to be quiet, and it just so happens that the shopkeeper chose the North Courtyard for us, which is very much in line with me." Yan Xiao's eyes were smiling, as if the person was really chatting with her, and turned her head to smile politely at the person.
Just two sentences, everyone has come to the middle of the north courtyard.
"Presumably this is the room where Daoist friends live, right?" The foundation-building male cultivator turned around and forgot to glance at the West Wing, where the door was open behind everyone.
Yan Xiao nodded, acquiescing to his guess, and then pointed to the east wing and said, "This is where the senior brother lives, I'll take you in to have a look." โ
Yan smiled and said, raised her feet and wanted to walk towards the east wing, in her heart, Ning Yuan must have hidden himself or taken the opportunity to leave here, if she wants everyone to believe it, she must let them see it with their own eyes.
"I'd like to see the West Wing first." Monk Jiedan, who stopped making a sound after stepping into the courtyard, looked at Yan Xiao's right foot as he took a step towards the east wing, and slowly opened his mouth.
Yan Xiao was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting the other party to be so cautious.
"Then please." After being stunned slightly, Yan Xiao immediately came to her senses, turned around, and followed the monk Jiedan who had already taken the first step towards the west wing where she lived.
The wing room is not big, push the door in, and the furnishings inside will be unobstructed.
There were no extra cabinets and tables, just a soft collapse, a desk, and a soft cushion that Yan Xiao took out of the Qiankun bag.
"I didn't expect that Xiao Daoyou was not as good as the female cultivator next to her, and she could put out a lot of things anywhere. You're like a nun's dwelling place. The eyes of the monk swept over the room several times, but she found nothing, and she couldn't help but smile lightly, and looked at Yan Xiao's eyes, which made her instantly stand on the back.
However, for this point, Yan Xiao has nothing to worry about. She's not one person who likes to be in one place and put everything out in one place. Her consistent style is to be simple. "The senior said it was funny."
After a while, everyone moved from the west wing to the east wing.
Although Yan Xiao felt that with Ning Yuan's ability, there was no problem if he wanted not to be found. It's just that when I arrived at the door of the east wing, I still had some drumming in my heart.
The shopkeeper walked ahead this time, and when he saw that no one had made a move, he had to stretch out his hand and carefully push open the door of the east wing.
"Squeak-" The wooden door was slowly pushed open, and an ancient moan came out.
Yan Xiao, who followed behind the shopkeeper, was shocked by what he saw.
"Ahh She let out a soft snort, and then hurried through the door, hurrying over to the man who was nestled behind the collapse, his green shirt soaked in bright red blood.
Walking at the end of the line was the male cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building who had talked a lot with Yan Xiao. He poked his head out from behind the crowd and saw what was in the east wing.
Similar to the west wing, the furnishings of the east wing are also very simple, except for a quilt on the soft couch, it can be said that it is almost exactly the same as the west wing.
It's just that at this time, the east wing is close to the soft ground, and there is a pool of blood, and the blood stains are bright red, which must have been caused by Fang Cai.
And on the soft collapse was lying a man, his eyes closed, his chest rising and falling slightly, as if he had lost his breath. And the blood stains on his chest also explained the source of the pool of blood on the ground.
It's just that this man is so abnormal, so abnormal that even if they get so close to him, they don't even notice the aura on him. He lay there quietly, and if it weren't for the slight heaval of his chest, they would have thought he would have died.
Just when everyone's minds were in a hurry, Yan Xiao had already walked quickly to the edge of the soft collapse and helped the weak Ning Yuan. Her hand quickly grabbed Ning Yuan's wrist and transmitted aura inside.
"Senior brother! Brother! What happened to you! Don't scare me. But in the blink of an eye, two tear streaks appeared on Yan Xiao's face, which ran down her cheeks and dripped onto Ning Yuan's wrist.
Ning Yuan's eyelids moved slightly, but he still didn't wake up.
"You say, what's going on? Didn't you say he went out? Another male cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, who had never spoken out, saw this scene in front of him, and saw that the leader of the monk was not good-looking, so he straightened his face and looked at Yan Xiao with a fierce look.
"I, I don't know!" Yan Xiao hugged Ning Yuan, and constantly instilled aura into his body with one hand, and the tears on his face kept falling. In the eyes of the shopkeeper, this smile has obviously lost his mind, and he doesn't know what to do.
Seeing this, Brother Jiedan didn't seem to want to say anything, but just shook his head back, and the fierce monk in the middle stage of foundation building hurriedly stepped forward from behind him with the Ouija Plate in his hand. When he walked to Yan Xiao's side, he just rudely snatched Ning Yuan's wrist from her hand and pressed his palm on the Ouiji disk.
Yan Xiao was suddenly shocked, "No, ......" She looked at the Ouiji disk in despair, and the tears in her eyes fell even more fiercely.
Seeing this, the male cultivator holding the Ouiji disc had a smug look on his face, obviously, he had already decided that there was something wrong with the person in front of him.
After a long time, there was no movement on the Ouija disk.
"Impossible!" The male cultivator holding the Ouiji Disc was a little surprised. He withdrew Ning Yuan's hand from the Ouija Chart, and rudely pushed Yan Xiao away, snatching Ning Yuan's other hand.
Half a cup of tea has passed, and the Ouija Plate still has no movement.
This time, everyone present had surprised expressions on their faces. If there is no movement on the spirit measuring disk, it means that this person is simply a person who has no spiritual roots and cannot cultivate.
"What's going on?" This time, the one who spoke was the leader, and there was no inquiry on his face, only a faint anger about to erupt, and he stared straight at Yan Xiao.
Seeing this, Yan Xiao suddenly fell to the ground from the soft collapse, crying: "Actually, he is not my senior brother, he is my own brother!" โ
The eyes of the shopkeeper of Yingxian Pavilion were round, a little incredulous.
"As you can see, he has no spiritual roots." Yan Xiao burst into tears, "He is my younger brother, but he can't cultivate, but in this world, I only have one relative left, and I have to take him everywhere." It's just that he doesn't have spiritual power, and as he grows older, he looks older than me, so I call him my senior brother to the outside world. โ
"But, but, when you two came yesterday, I remember that he was obviously a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building!" The shopkeeper of Yingxian Pavilion obviously couldn't believe her words, but this spirit measuring disk would not be fake, this did not have a spiritual root, and it was indeed impossible to cultivate.
"My mother had a secret medicine that could make my brother look like a cultivator, and if I injected a wisp of my aura into him, I could disguise him as a monk who was a fellow practitioner with me." Yan Xiao seemed to have seen it, and just calmly told the secret about his "younger brother".
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" The male cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building who was holding the spirit test disk was obviously very dissatisfied with Yan Xiao's behavior, and he felt as if he had been tricked by someone at the moment, and he was extremely unhappy.
"Qulan City is a city of monks, and mortals are not allowed to enter, how dare I say it." Yan Xiao said this, it seemed that some broken jars had been broken, she raised her head, with teary eyes, looking at the people in front of her.
The crowd apparently didn't expect her to say that. Qulan City is only allowed to enter monks, this is a rule set at the beginning of the city's construction, and over the years, no one has mentioned it, and it has long been forgotten by everyone.
After all, there are indeed no mortal villages in this vicinity, and it is not easy for mortals to get here.
It's just that I didn't expect that there would be such an unforgettable monk as Yan Xiao today. Even bring the mortal brother of the world with him.
Everyone was obviously stunned, but the Jiedan monk stepped forward, picked up Ning Yuan's arm, and probed the situation in his body.
Seeing this, Yan Xiao's heart tightened, but he didn't say anything, just looked at the Jiedan monk nervously.
Ning Yuan's pulse was disordered, but he was injured by his coercion. A mortal naturally can't withstand the coercion of a monk who has a knot, and other than that, there is nothing abnormal.
After a while, the man threw away Ning Yuan's wrist in disgust, took out a square towel and wiped his hands, as if he felt that his hands were defiled by mortals.
When everyone saw this, they knew that Ning Yuan was indeed a mortal.
Just when everyone was waiting for the monk in the middle stage of the Yudan to smile and smile, suddenly a person hurriedly ran towards the north courtyard.
Several people looked awe-inspired, with serious expressions, staring straight at the door of the east wing. However, after a while, a young monk of the fifth level of qi refining ran in.
"Shopkeeper! A few adults! Oh no! He ran and shouted, until he entered the door of the east wing, he was shocked by the scene inside, and what he wanted to say was also gagged, and he could not speak.
"Say!" Seeing this, the monk frowned and shouted.
The little monk was taken aback again, and hurriedly said, "I heard that there is a male cultivator who uses ice spells on West Street, I am afraid that he is the person that the City Lord's Mansion is looking for, and now he is sending people to arrest him." โ
When the monk in the middle of the Yudan period heard this, he waved his hand and walked out. "Let's go."
"But, my lord, what are they going to do?" The male cultivator holding the Ouiji Disc hesitated, looking at Yan Xiao on the ground and Ning Yuan on the soft collapse, he couldn't believe that he just let them go?
If you want him to say, Yan Xiao has clearly played with them for so long, no matter what, she should be taught a lesson! (To be continued.) )
