The young Taoist priest was not slow, but if he wanted to come to the village from his location, it would take at least half a pillar of incense. At this moment, when this person saw that the "old man" had escaped, he immediately roared again, and his words were mostly to the effect that Li Xunlian should not move, otherwise he would not be spared.

Tilting his head to look at it, Li Xunlian frowned slightly, he was considering whether it was necessary to stay and discuss this matter with the disciples of that Dao Sect.

The thinking was short and fast, and soon Li Xunlian came to the conclusion that he absolutely could not meet this person, otherwise there would be endless incidents.

First, because of the big competition of the smelting instrument, he had a festival with Changfeng Zhenren and Qing Xuanzi, and even made a two-year contract, that Qing Xuanzi is the leader of the younger generation in the Taoist Sect, and must be deeply admired, and can even be called the gateway of the younger generation of the Taoist Sect, Li Xunlian offended him, exaggeratedly, it is no different from offending the younger generation of the entire Taoist Sect. Therefore, at this special moment and under special circumstances, in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, it is better for him to have less contact with Taoist disciples.

Second, it can be seen that this guy is very reckless when he is still shouting on the low mountain, otherwise the strange man would not be frightened away. And this person shouted a lot of orders, and he thought he was a conceited person. In addition, as a disciple of the Taoist Sect, if he sees Li Xunlian, who is entangled with the sect, here, he will definitely have more personal grievances than public anger, and at that time, Li Xunlian will be speechless.

Thinking of this, Li Xunlian directly dodged and swept away, with his comprehension of the urgency of the hurricane, even though the strength of Xuan Xiu was not high, it was not difficult to get rid of the disciples of that Dao Sect.

"The wicked are gone, and they have the courage to fight with the poor road for three hundred rounds!"

Behind him, the Dao Sect disciple was still roaring wildly, but it was just roaring, after all, seeing Li Xunlian leaving, he didn't have the ability to pursue.

After he settled in the village, Li Xunlian's figure had disappeared into the mountains, and the night was vast, and there was no trace to be found.

Keeping his eyes locked on the direction of Li Xunlian's departure, the Daoist disciple cursed a few more words, and immediately fell into deep thought.

He was present at the time of the smelting competition, and the picture of Li Xunlian smelting the Dragon Shadow Sword and defeating Jingyuan was even more vivid, and the glory that should have belonged to his senior brother Qing Xuanzi was replaced by this son, which made him remember it very deeply.

"Fang Cai's blue light is very similar to the dragon shadow sword surnamed Li, could it be that this matter has something to do with him?"

"Hmph, I have heard for a long time that the inn is killing excessively, but I didn't expect it to be the case, I thought that this group of evil fangs was under the guise of morality, but there was a group of evil demons in the background!" sneered, the conceit and arrogance of the Taoist disciples showed up again, and they didn't check the situation in the village, relying on their own speculation and conjecture, and directly determined that the inn was the author of this series of tricks.

"I have to return to the sect as soon as possible, report this incident to the sect master, and then unite with the Buddha sect and the royal family to ask the damn inn!"

After thinking about it, the Dao Sect disciple rose up with his sword, and when the light flickered, he went all the way to the south.

......

After leaving the village, Li Xunlian walked all the way, what had just happened made him vigilant, and he was in a hurry to rush to the nearby village to see if there was a similar incident.

Needless to say, in the dozens of miles that followed, I also passed through three or five small villages, but there were no special events, and they were all quiet.

After that, Li Xunlian went to the original destination, Heishi Village, and when he came here, the sky was already slightly bright, and the misty gloom of the night also dissipated a lot unconsciously.

Since all the villagers disappeared, the village was dead.

Li Xunlian stood on a high slope somewhere in the village, looking around, but there was no vitality at all, and he couldn't see anything else.

After watching for a while, Li Xunlian entered the village again to investigate in detail.

With the creak of the rotten wooden door being pushed open, Li Xunlian came to an ordinary house.

It's a dilapidated thatched hut with a small interior and everything is clear at a glance.

There was only one jar of corn in the outhouse, two stoves, and a half-man-high water tank. When I entered the inner room, there was nothing but a clay kang and a few wooden boxes for things.

The bedding on the kang is paved, but it is not smooth, and it is turned inside out, as if it has been lifted by someone.

Judging from the overall environment of this house, although the living conditions are very poor, it is also clean and tidy, so if you wake up and get up, there is no reason for the futon to be so, it should be that the owner is resting and sleeping, and he gets up temporarily in case of an emergency, and the matter is urgent, and even the futon has no time to tidy up and stack.

Looking at the house, there was not the slightest sign of a fight, so it was almost certain that the owner of the house had been awakened suddenly in the middle of the night.

Then Li Xunlian walked a few more houses, most of which were the case, and then went to the open space in the village to inspect it, and it was possible to see a cluster of bonfire ashes, although there was not much left of the wind, but it could also be seen that some kind of bonfire ritual had also been carried out here.

Thinking about what he experienced the night before, Li Xunlian had a rough inference in his heart.

Whether it is this Blackstone Village or the previous village, the villagers should be suddenly woken up in the middle of the night, and then for some reason they lit a bonfire for a ritual, and during this ceremony, an accident happened, and everyone disappeared out of thin air in an instant.

"That strange man is the key, from him, I actually have a feeling that I don't seem to be opposed to people......" Thinking of his ugly and terrifying appearance, Li Xunlian frowned, with his knowledge of various races in various places, he couldn't determine the origin of the strange man.

"Why can he encourage the villagers to hold a ceremony late at night, and what is the content of this ceremony......

"Through the tricks with the strange man, it can be seen that he is not Xuan Xiu, and even if he is Xuan Xiu, he definitely does not have the ability to make more than a hundred or ten people disappear out of thin air in an instant, what kind of mystery is hidden in this!"

After thinking about it for a long time, although there were a few clues and inferences, the suspicions became deeper and deeper. But since I can't figure it out, I simply don't want to think about it for the time being, the weird man must have some kind of purpose, and he will definitely continue in the future, as long as he is closely monitored, he will not have a chance to hold this fang.

And as long as you hold this fang, you must be able to get further clues from him.

After thinking about it, Li Xunlian left the village, set out from here, turned from the southwest to the north, and returned to the imperial city while continuing to explore.

When I returned to the imperial city, it was already dark, and the streets were crowded with pedestrians and traffic.

Li Xunlian paid attention all the way, but there was no valuable information, and the situation of the strange incident in the village last night had not yet reached the imperial city.

"Let's go to the hematite mine first. ”

......

The hematite mine and the Chengwang Mansion are located in the southern area of the imperial city, and the distance between them is only a long time, Li Xunlian went to pass by there, but saw that the palace was still magnificent, but the gate was closed, and there were no many guards in front of the door, which was a little sparse.

Li Yue's battle of Xiaozhu, Xiao Nantian fled, and the dark iron guards that King Cheng relied on the most were all destroyed, and Emperor Qingxiao issued an order to dismiss the royal guards, so far King Cheng's strength on paper in the imperial city has disappeared, and it is reasonable that it is few.

"I think King Cheng will not make any more moves in the short term, unless he mobilizes the 200,000 troops of the fiefdom, but he will not do that unless he has to, after all, the private army is a provocation to the royal family. ”

After a brief analysis, Li Xunlian did not delay any longer and went straight to the hematite mine.

The hematite mine stretches for 20 miles, the scale is quite large, and there are naturally many facilities such as halls, warehouses, wings, canteens, etc., and the outside is surrounded by high walls and deep barriers.

These guards are basically just ordinary martial artists, only a few of the leaders are for Xuan Xiu, but the realm is not high, and they are around the peak in the late stage of Xuanxuan.

Because there was a letter informing him earlier, Hu Wan knew that Li Xunlian was coming, and he was waiting in the courtyard of the mine at the moment.

The sun is warm, the branches are green, and under the two big willow trees, Hu Wan is lying lazily on the rocking chair, holding a folding fan in his hand, and constantly clapping his palms with the little songs he is humming in his mouth.

Li Xunlian smiled when he saw this, this guy is a gangster on weekdays, and he treats himself as a master when he takes a fan, but he still looks a little like it.

"How to sell red iron, I want a hundred catties. Li Xunlian joked with a smile.

Hu Wan squinted at him and snorted: "You are a master, this is a scattered shop, a hundred catties is too little, not for sale." ”

Although it is a brother's laughter, but what Hu Wan said is also the truth, the hematite mine is often hundreds of thousands of catties in and out under his operation, if you only buy 100 catties of hematite here, it is either ignorance or deliberate fault.

Then the brothers talked nonsense for a while, and finally led by Hu Wan, Li Xunlian followed him all the way into the mine, and carefully explained the details of their recent situations as they went.

Although it is called a mine, the real mining area is in the very center, and the scenery is quite pleasant.

"How is the Wind Thunder Palm practiced, can it withstand the huge force of the shock?" During the chat, Li Xunlian mentioned this matter, somehow, thinking of Gu Panxi's progress, he was slightly proud, and said: "For the Wind Thunder Palm, Gu Panxi's stupid thing has found another way and has a great understanding." ”

"Hey, brother, how can I be stumped by the Xuan Gong of the Xuan Realm? As for the idiot...... I was surprised. Hu Wan waved his hand and said, "You said in your letter that you broke through to the peak of Kaixuan, is this true?"

When the four of them are together, Li Xunlian and Hu Wan like to partner and tease Gu Panxi, even if they are behind the scenes at the moment, they still can't help but hurt others.

"Kaixuan peak, not Guxuan peak, is there anything to brag about?" Li Xunlian was puzzled, why Hu Wan reacted like this.

Moreover, he hadn't mentioned that since he met the strange man on the big night, the Xuan Qi in his body was frequently restless, and there were often signs of breaking through again. If so, this thing is not shocked.

But even if he didn't say it, it was also a stimulus for Hu Wan to have a lot of "envy, jealousy and hatred".

When we met, Lao Tzu was in the middle stage of Kaixuan, and your sister was too, I remember correctly at that time that you consolidated the early stage of Kaixuan, and now you are in the late stage of Kaixuan, but you are at the peak of Kaixuan, how can at the same time, your cultivation has grown so much?" Hu Wan was slightly excited, and added: "Don't tell me that your body pulse is abnormal, although Lao Tzu is not a divine body treasure, but the body pulse is not necessarily bad." ”

Li Xunlian smiled evilly when he heard this, slapped his palm, and knocked Hu Wan, who reacted in time and barely made defensive moves, into the water.

It's really not bad, the two are in the same realm, and Hu Wan is not without any defense, but he still falls into the water. This shows that no matter the speed, power, or explosion, it seems that they are not in the same level......

The young Taoist priest was not slow, but if he wanted to come to the village from his location, it would take at least half a pillar of incense. At this moment, when this person saw that the "old man" had escaped, he immediately roared again, and his words were mostly to the effect that Li Xunlian should not move, otherwise he would not be spared.

Therefore, at this special moment and under special circumstances, in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, it is better for him to have less contact with Taoist disciples.
