There are still such talents here, Jiang Luoan couldn't help but be interested.

A few days later, Fu Ling suddenly informed the freshmen that they were on a mission. From time to time, she will take on some tasks that are not too difficult, which is not only a training for new students, but also a test for them.

This time, all the students were asked to gather in the front yard to draw lots, and those who received the same lot were assigned to the same group.

Jiang Luo'an saw for the first time what this Wei Mian looked like.

When they heard that they could go out to complete the task, almost all the freshmen were in high spirits and came to the front yard early. Only Wei Mian was lazy alone, and in the end, he was left alone, so he arrived unhurriedly.

Jiang Luoan is still not familiar enough with other people. When drawing lots, she deliberately stayed behind and drew again, using her ability to be in the same group as Chu Xiao.

Unexpectedly, Wei Mian was also in the same group as them.

Jiang Luo'an didn't have a good impression of Wei Mian, not because he was arrogant and didn't go to class with them, but because he had an inexplicable feeling at work.

The people who are drawn to the same group need to gather to elect a team leader. Wei Mian didn't ask for the opinions of the others, and as soon as he came over, he said, "I'll be the captain." ”

The others in the same group had no opinion, but Jiang Luoan disagreed.

"Why, there must be a reason for choosing a captain, or if I go up and say that I want to be the captain, I can be a captain directly."

Wei Mian glanced at her very curiously, probably no one had ever spoken to him like this, he felt a little novel, "You can be the captain if you want, as long as you can beat me, the captain is yours." ”

"That's what you say, it's a word."

The rest of the team hurriedly stepped aside, leaving the open space for the two of them.

Wei Mian didn't take Jiang Luoan in his eyes at all. He didn't have any contact with the other freshmen, so he didn't know what was going on recently. I just think that she is a transfer student, and it is good that she can barely keep up with Fuling's teaching, and she dares to challenge him recklessly.

Chu Xiao was very confident in Jiang Luoan, and stood aside and quietly cheered her on.

Wei Mian was too light on the enemy, and he didn't even think about pulling out his sword when the two of them competed. Jiang Luo'an's strength was far beyond his imagination, and he knocked him down with one move before he was ready.

It wasn't until he fell to the ground that Wei Mian recovered from the shock. He looked at Jiang Luoan in disbelief, not knowing what to say.

Jiang Luoan said: "How about it, the position of captain should be given to me now." ”

Wei Mian gritted his teeth, and wanted to say that this competition was not counted, but Chu Xiao applauded one step ahead of him, "Miss Jiang is really powerful, it seems that this captain is none other than Miss Jiang." ”

The others also reacted and congratulated one after another.

Fu Ling saw the competition from a distance, but she didn't stop it immediately out of the purpose of wanting the students to exercise more.

Seeing that they were finished, Fu Ling came over and said, "Fights and brawls are not allowed here, and if you want to compete in the future, you need to go to a special venue." ”

After tidying up the team, the group came to the ancient town not far from the bottom of the mountain.

There is an ancestral hall in the ancient town, and the most famous of the ancestral halls is a lotus lamp. This lotus lamp is long-lasting, and it is said that a monk with a very high level of cultivation once stayed here to keep the people in this ancient town safe.

But not long ago, the lotus lamp suddenly disappeared. People in the ancient town searched everywhere, but they found no trace of the lotus lantern.

This incident caused panic in the town. Although the lotus lantern keeps you safe is just a saying, the people who live here have believed in the power of the lotus lantern for generations. The talisman-like thing suddenly disappeared, and there was speculation about whether bad luck was going to befall the town.

After the news spread, many enthusiastic monks in the vicinity came to this ancient town to help them recover the lotus lantern, but all of them disappeared without exception.

It would be one or two, but seven or eight monks in succession disappeared because of the investigation of the lotus lantern, which aroused everyone's suspicions.

What is there that is holding them back?

The people in the ancient town went to Mengshan and wanted Fuling to help them check.

Fu Ling felt that this was a good opportunity to train the students, so she took on the task. But she was not ready to intervene in the process of the students' investigation, and followed her to ensure the safety of the students.

After coming to the ancient town, the caretaker of the ancestral hall warmly received them and prepared an inn for them early.

After settling the students and telling them to stay safe, Fu Ling and the caretaker left early.

It's a great opportunity to get a workout and everyone wants to give it up. Although it was still early, no one chose to rest in the inn for a while, and they all went out to investigate the case.

After Jiang Luoan set off with their team, he did not go straight to the ancestral hall like everyone else, but first familiarized himself with the environment around the ancient town before rushing to the ancestral hall.

I don't know if it's because many monks have already come to the ancestral hall before, but it was cleaned clean, and there was nothing suspicious.

"Even if there are some clues, now that so long has passed, there are not many left." Jiang Luoan said: "Let's go to the neighborhood and have a look." ”

The team searched all day, but found no useful clues.

When he returned to the inn for dinner, he saw that the other teams around him were sighing, and Jiang Luoan knew that they didn't have any useful discoveries.

Also, if it was so easy for them to find out, then the monks in front of them must have found out a long time ago.

In the middle of the night, everyone else fell asleep, but Jiang Luoan called the small team.

Now that the surroundings are quiet, she wants to search the ancestral hall again, some clues may be buried by the noisy environment during the day, and this time there may be something new to discover.

She and Chu Xiao Weimian searched separately in the ancestral hall. After turning around inside for a while, Jiang Luoan still didn't find anything useful.

Suddenly, something flashed not far outside the ancestral hall.

Jiang Luoan approached lightly and found that the place where the flicker just now was in the caretaker's house.

That's a little weird. It was already late at night, and it was dark all around, and it was only brighter when the lights were lit all the time in the ancestral hall. The guards of the ancestral hall all lock the door and rest normally at night, how can there be light in the house.

Thinking of this, Jiang Luoan decided to quietly touch it and take a look.

She held her breath and silently approached the caretaker's room.

Afraid of alarming the people in the house, Jiang Luoan didn't dare to get too close. Hiding under a tree in front of the house, she used her third ability.

The tree trunks and houses in front of her could no longer obscure her vision, and she searched the room, and found in the depths of the room what they were looking for, the lotus lamp that was always on.

This lamp was hidden very deeply, and it stands to reason that there could be no light for Jiang Luoan to see. She thought back to when she saw the light flickering, and realized that she might have used her third ability just now.

In order to search for the ancestral hall just now, Jiang Luoan briefly used her ability, and maybe the corner of her eye happened to sweep to the guard's room, which made her see the light emitted by the lotus lamp.

Jiang Luoan couldn't help but sigh that the lamp was really hidden deep enough. If it weren't for the fact that she happened to use the ability, she would never have noticed it from the outside.

Now that the whereabouts of the lotus lantern have been discovered, what we need to think about now is how to take it out.

The guards are guarding and stealing, and they will definitely make some preparations to prevent them from coming to investigate, and she can't go rashly alone.

Jiang Luoan wanted to find Wei Mian and Chu Xiao first.

Chu Xiao was still staying in the ancestral hall, and when he saw Jiang Luoan, his expression was a little flustered.

Jiang Luoan looked around, but didn't find Wei Mian's figure, so he asked casually.

Chu Xiao didn't answer the question, and hurriedly said: "I've been searching in the ancestral hall, Wei Mian went out just now, and he hasn't come back yet." When I went outside to look for him, I happened to see everyone else being led away by the caretaker. I suspect there's something wrong with that caretaker, but I'm afraid you won't find us when you come back, so I'm waiting for you here. ”

Jiang Luoan already knew where the lotus lantern was, and immediately screamed badly. Recalling that the monks who had come to look for her had disappeared for some reason, she immediately realized that it must have been the caretaker's ghost.

Now, he wanted to do the same thing to the others.

"Where did they go?" Jiang Luoan asked.

Chu Xiao pointed to a place, and Jiang Luoan took out a tracking spirit weapon from his wrist, which could automatically trace the location of the last breath left by the other disciples.

The two of them chased all the way forward and met Wei Mian halfway through.

Wei Mian felt that there might not be any new discoveries in the ancestral hall, so he came out and wanted to take a look around.

The three of them followed the tracking artifact to a hidden cave outside the ancient town.

They've been running for a long time after chasing here. The aura of the other disciples finally stayed here.

The three of them did not dare to rush forward, and as soon as they hid nearby, they saw the caretaker come out of the cave.

They quickly hid again, only to see that as soon as the man came out, he began to carry the stones outside the cave, as if trying to block the entrance to the cave.

The hole was not big, and he had already blocked most of it without moving a few stones.

The three of them looked at each other, and the other disciples were most likely in this cave.

Jiang Luoan motioned to the collective with his eyes, and when the caretaker was bending down to pick up the stones, the three of them rushed up, the other two were responsible for attracting the attention of the guards, and Jiang Luoan used the small stones he picked up to point the guard's acupoint.

The caretaker was tied up and thrown aside, unable to even move.

They quickly removed the stones blocking the entrance to the cave and called a few times into the cave to get them out.

But after waiting for a while, not only did no one come out, but there was not even the slightest sound in the cave.

Could it be that the tracker was wrong, or worse, the caretakers killed them?

Jiang Luoan didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and took the two of them into the cave to check.

What they didn't notice was that the caretaker had practiced the kung fu of solving acupuncture. As they waited, the man looked motionless, but in fact he had already unlocked his acupuncture hole.

As soon as they entered the cave, the caretaker took out a small dagger hidden in his sleeve and cut the rope, took out the flares and sent them out.

The three of them walked deeper into the cave, which was much deeper than they had imagined, and there were many corpses on the way. The corpses were still fresh, probably not long after they had just died, but fortunately there were no familiar faces to be seen in them.

Walking inside, Jiang Luoan suddenly raised his hand and motioned for the two people who followed behind him to stop.

Not far ahead, there was a tall statue of the goddess, and the disciples who came with them to search for it all stood in a circle around the statue and looked at the statue with dull eyes.

This statue of the goddess seems to be a little unusual. Jiang Luo'an used his ability to probe and found that this idol would actually steal people's minds. As long as you stare at it for a while, you will be bewitched unconsciously.

Jiang Luo'an's eyes have special abilities, so that they are not affected by the idol.

She looked behind her and found that Chu Xiao was also staring at the statue, and her expression slowly became sluggish, so she hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt.

Fortunately, he didn't stare for long, and after Jiang Luoan blocked his view, he quickly returned to normal.
