144, the deceased
"Eventful, who has the air to take care of mortal affairs. Don't leave quickly, if you let Mo Ting's team take the lead, don't blame me for picking your skin! The leading monk glanced at the male cultivator who was reluctant to leave with unquestioning eyes, and then walked quickly out of the gate of the north courtyard.
The male cultivator holding the Ouiji Disc had a gloomy face, and his gloomy gaze swept coldly over Yan Xiao and Ning Yuan's bodies, and then he snorted coldly, flicked his robe, followed the people who had already left, and stepped out of the door of the east wing.
"Ugh!" The shopkeeper glanced at Yan Xiao and the others, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he stomped his feet and left.
As soon as everyone left, Yan Xiao wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve and got up from the ground.
She looked at Ning Yuan, whose eyes were closed on the soft couch, and frowned.
It's completely different from what they agreed on beforehand. Her and Ning Yuan's plan was simply to let Ning Yuan use the effect of the jade pendant to avoid everyone's search.
That's why she came in and saw the scene inside, and she was really shocked. Ning Yuan, who should have been gone, actually fell on the soft collapse covered in blood, and the shock at the moment of Yan Xiao was not a fake.
"How are you?" Although Yan Xiao's mind was turning back and forth, he still hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Ning Yuan's wrist.
Ning Yuan, who was originally too weak to open his eyes, also opened his eyes a slit at this time, and shook his head at Yan Xiao.
"Here...... There is medicine, cough cough cough cough ......" Ning Yuan's left hand lifted a little with some effort. Seeing a small porcelain vase there, Yan Xiao immediately grabbed it.
There was only one pill in the small porcelain bottle, Yan Xiao didn't say a word, poured out the pill and put it in Ning Yuan's mouth.
She also saw that Ning Yuan's injury was not fake at all. The injury was indeed a mortal who couldn't withstand the pressure of the monk Jiedan, and his heart was disturbed, and he vomited blood.
It's just that Ning Yuan is a foundation building consummation monk, even if he doesn't resist, he won't be hurt to such an extent.
Yan Xiao thought about it as he ran out of the east wing, walked around the courtyard, looked at the door again, and then closed the gate of the north courtyard. Then he was still not at ease, and laid out a simple small formation, and then ran back to the east wing.
In the east wing, after Ning Yuan swallowed the pill, his strength seemed to be beginning to recover, and at this time, he was using his spiritual power to heal himself.
In the position where Yan Xiao was originally sitting, there was a middle-aged male cultivator in an ink shirt at this time.
"What the hell is going on?" Yan Xiao saw that although Ning Yuan was alienated from that person, he had no resistance and unfamiliar emotions, obviously the two had already met before her.
And Fang Cai's play, Yan Xiao is very sure that it is related to the middle-aged male cultivator in front of him.
"I was originally going to follow our plan and temporarily hide out of the North Courtyard with the help of the Breath Jade Pendant." Ning Yuan glanced at the black-clothed male cultivator, and after seeing that he didn't have any intention of speaking, he slowly opened his mouth to explain.
"It's just that I just opened the window, and I found that this Taoist friend was already waiting for me under the window."
Yan Xiao glanced at the middle-aged male cultivator in black, only to see him looking at the tea cup in front of him without squinting, even if Ning Yuan mentioned him, he still had a faint expression, as if these things Ning Yuan said had nothing to do with him.
He...... inexplicably brought Yan Xiao a sense of familiarity.
With this sense of familiarity, Yan Xiao slowly sat down opposite the person.
"This fellow Taoist told me that he has a way for us to do it once and for all, and we don't have to worry about how to get out of the city anymore." Ning Yuan looked at the black-clothed male cultivator with an inquiring look with a smile, his eyes darkened, but he didn't stop what he was about to say.
"Oh?" Yan Xiao didn't look up, still staring at the black-clothed middle-aged monk, as if he wanted to see something on his face. "What's the solution?"
When she held Ning Yuan's hand, she only felt that he had drawn a few strokes in her palm, and his plan had changed. So she had to improvise and accompany him to finish the scene.
She didn't realize that she still had the talent to be a movie queen.
"This fellow Taoist told me that he had an elixir in his hand that could temporarily turn a monk into a mortal, and his spiritual power would be completely lost, and his spiritual root would disappear. Become a complete mortal, and even the Ouija Disk can't detect it. ”
Ning Yuan's voice was very soft, and Yan Xiao confirmed his guess from this somewhat fluctuating voice.
"So you really became mortal just now?" Yan Xiao raised his head and glanced at Ning Yuan with frowning, his intuition was too risky. Ordinary mortals couldn't stand the pressure of the Jiedan monk at all.
Fortunately, the coercion was released at the gate of the courtyard, and there was still a certain distance from the east wing, otherwise Ning Yuan would not be able to stand it.
Fortunately, the monk did not go crazy in the east wing again, otherwise even if Ning Yuan was not a true mortal, he could only withstand the coercion that mortals could not bear under the constraints of medicine at that moment. I'm afraid my life is no longer guaranteed.
Yan Xiao's eyes were obviously full of blame and fear. It's just that for some reason, Ning Yuan felt that this eye was unusually pleasing to the eye, and he was very useful.
His gaze softened a lot because of Yan Xiao's gaze, even if Yan Xiao quickly turned his head away and continued to look at the middle-aged male cultivator who was sitting there and had never opened his mouth.
"This fellow Daoist, should you explain who you really are? Why do you want to mingle with us? And why are we sure that those people will let us go so easily? ”
Yan Xiao threw out three questions in a row. As she asked these three questions, she stared at the person across from her, not letting go of any fluctuation in his expression.
The man listened to the three questions thrown by Yan Xiao, and finally a little banter appeared on his face, which had been expressionless.
"If Yan Daoyou keeps staring at me like this, I may think that you are interesting to me."
Compared to the face that was a little older, the voice of the male cultivator in the middle of foundation building was about to look younger. At least this kind of voice shouldn't sound louder than Ning Yuan.
Yan Xiao listened to the somewhat familiar voice, and a trace of trance appeared on his face, and then a flash of surprise flashed. Ning Yuan, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows in surprise. Obviously, the middle-aged male cultivator had not used such a voice when he talked to him before.
"It's you!" There was still a hint of surprise hidden in Yan Xiao's voice.
"Not really!" The man's voice was smiling, but his right hand suddenly raised and wiped it on his face. A piece of dough as thin as a cicada's wings was held in his hand, and his originally somewhat weathered face had turned into a handsome face that Yan Xiao was very familiar with.
This person's disguise technique is very good, and what the monk can see through is nothing more than the change in his face caused by the use of spells. And this kind of skillful disguise technique of using mortals to perfection obviously failed to be recognized by the monks.
Ning Yuan didn't recognize this person before. At this time, seeing Yan Xiao and a male cultivator of the same age who was not inferior to him in appearance looking at each other and smiling, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart.
"This fellow Taoist is ......" He saw the two laughing happily and couldn't help but interrupt.
"This is Cheng Yi, who was convenient for me in the world before." Yan Xiao then remembered that he hadn't introduced the two of them yet, "Cheng Daoyou, this is my father's disciple and my fellow brother, Ning Yuan." ”
"Cheng Daoyou." Ning Yuan smiled at Cheng Yi and nodded slightly, even if it was a courtesy.
Cheng Yi also nodded lightly at Ning Yuan, and called with a smile: "Ning Daoyou." ”
The two of them can be regarded as acquaintances, and Cheng Yi can be regarded as answering two of the three questions that Yan Xiao threw out before.
"I should have come to Qulan City on the same day as you. I recognized you that day in the teahouse near the city gates. After Cheng Yi revealed his identity to the two, he no longer pretended to be profound, and told the truth of the matter one by one.
"I wanted to talk to you, but when I saw that you seemed to be in a hurry, I gave up. In the next few days, I never saw you in Qulan City again, and I don't know if you left the city or not, but I also had something to do, so I didn't look for you again. ”
"In the days you disappeared, I stayed in Qulan City and got to know this Qulan City in general. Thanks to my understanding of this song Blue City, I can save you today. ”
When Yan Xiao heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, but did not interject, but quietly listened to Cheng Yi continue to speak.
"Early yesterday morning, a group of people suddenly ran out of the city lord's mansion, saying that the city lord's mansion was invaded by two people, and they didn't know what treasures they had taken away, and they wanted to ban and arrest the whole city. For some reason, the two of you flashed in my mind. Cheng Yi shook his head as he spoke, obviously he thought of Yan Xiao before he figured out why something had happened.
"Later, news came out from the City Lord's Mansion that the two people who wanted to be arrested were Ice Spirit Root Cultivators." Cheng Yi looked up and smiled at Yan Xiao, "I know you're not, but I still remember that you're from the Yaoguang faction." Yaoguang Sect Ning Yuan, a mutated Ice Spirit Root monk, was already a foundation builder and a complete cultivator before he was seventy years old. This is not a secret in the entire Tianyuan Continent, I think. ”
"So I concluded that they must be you. Although I don't know why they think of you as an Ice Spirit Root Monk. ”
Yan smiled when he heard this, but he didn't mean to answer for him. Seeing this, Ning Yuan hooked the corners of his lips almost invisibly, obviously in a good mood.
"Since I've run into it, it's natural to help if I can." Cheng Yi saw that Yan Xiao didn't want to reveal it to him, so he didn't ask more, but continued: "The **** went to the teahouse and was bumped into by me again, so I followed you and lived in Yingxian Pavilion." ”
"Teahouse?" Yan Xiao's eyes widened, "I didn't even notice that I was followed, it's good that it's you, otherwise I wouldn't have lost a few lives." She sighed slightly, clearly annoyed by her oversight.
Cheng Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not your problem, I also have treasures with hidden breaths on my body, if it weren't for a monk above the Yuan Infant level, unless my divine sense was extremely strong, I wouldn't be able to find me." ”
Yan Xiao nodded at this time, but secretly reminded himself in his heart. There are so many monks in this world who have treasures, and those who possess treasures today are all people she knows, but there is no guarantee that no enemy will use the same means against her in the future.
"You followed me into the Yingxian Pavilion and came up with the way to make my senior brother a mortal?" Although Yan Xiao was annoyed by his negligence, he was still curious about Cheng Yi's method.
Cheng Yi nodded and shook his head again: "After I was sure that those two people were you, I had this idea." Of course, you have to be willing to cooperate. ”
"But why do you think they'll let us go so easily?" Yan Xiao had long been puzzled about this point, and at this moment, seeing that Cheng Yi didn't seem to have any intention of saying it, he had to repeat it again.
"Because of Xie Biao and Mo Ting." Cheng Yi said the names of the two people. One of the names makes Yan Xiao very familiar.
"Mo Ting? Is that the name that the mid-stage monk mentioned before he left? Yan Xiao asked.
Cheng Yi nodded and sighed: "Those two are well-known mortal enemies, and it is no secret in the entire Qulan City. But the two of them are from the same city lord's mansion, and their cultivation is comparable and their status is comparable, and fighting is a common thing. ”
"These two, there will definitely be one person who will come to Yingxian Pavilion to search, so as long as at the right time, let them think that the target will appear elsewhere and be preempted by the opponent. They wouldn't be willing to meddle with mortal affairs. ”
Cheng Yi's voice fell, which could be regarded as explaining why he dared to take this risk and let Ning Yuan take the pill disguised as a mortal. And Ning Yuan had obviously heard this set of rhetoric before this, so he believed the words of this stranger who suddenly came to the door and claimed to be an acquaintance of Yan Xiao.
"You created the chaos on West Street?" Yan Xiao seemed to remember something again, and glanced at Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi nodded, and then said with a smile: "Thanks to Ning Daoyou's ice talisman seal, the power is really full." At this time, it is estimated that the speculation that one of them is a monk of Jiedan. ”
Yan Xiao nodded, "Thanks to you, otherwise, I'm afraid we would have to go through a lot of trouble." ”
Cheng Yi heard this, but waved his hand again, and sighed a little helplessly: "Yan Daoyou, it's too early for you to say this, I'm afraid we have to hurry up and get out of the city while those people haven't reacted yet." ”
Yan Xiao nodded thoughtfully, but he looked at Ning Yuan's gaze but was a little worried: "I don't know how senior brother ...... like this"
"He's just right." Cheng Yi quickly interrupted what Yan Xiao wanted to say, "Have you forgotten how many injuries he was injured just now?" ”
Yan Xiao suddenly woke up, if Ning Yuan was so seriously injured as a mortal, how could he recover without ten days and half a month?
Ning Yuan also nodded, he had already prepared, so he just smoothed his meridians and made himself feel a little better, but on the surface, his injuries were still as serious as before.
"Shall we go?" Yan Xiao looked at Ning Yuan, and then at Cheng Yi, wanting to ask for the opinions of the two.
The two of them shook their heads when they heard this.
Yan Xiao hurriedly packed up the things in the east wing, ran into the west wing and got his own things, and together with Cheng Yi, he picked up Ning Yuan and left Yingxian Pavilion in a hurry. (To be continued.) )
