The elder thought for a while and explained, "We are people from the Yanling Sect, and we pass through this place every year. I want to rest here for the night today, I wonder if I can make it easier? ”

Although the elder man is a little arrogant, he is not unreasonable, and he also knows how to lower his posture when asking for help.

Who knew that the strong man laughed after hearing this, his fingers gently rubbed his chin, and the smile was very strange: "The people of the Yanling Sect? Isn't that rich? After speaking, his eyes still swept ambiguously over a few beautiful female disciples behind the elder Chang.

Si Jiuyi, Shangguan Ling, Mingmei, Shangguan Haitang, An Ning, no, except for An Ning, which of the others is not a hot character? Although Shangguan Haitang is not familiar with Si Jiuyi, as far as she knows, those surnamed Shangguan do not have a good temper. Although An Ning looks very gentle and kind on the surface, he can grow so much when his mother is not favored and he has no strength, which shows that he has some means.

Poor beard, he didn't know that he had offended the most lethal of this team of more than a dozen people with a single look.

"As long as the money is in place, everything is easy to say, come on, come on, go into the house and say."

The beard changed his previous indifference and welcomed people into the house enthusiastically.

"Sit down first, and I'll pour you some water." Just now, he was fierce and vicious, and his face was impatient, and his beard seemed to be kinder because he had money.

As soon as he walked to the kitchen, his face changed instantly.

I turned out a dozen bowls in the kitchen, scooped water from the water tank, and poured them into it at random.

Then he took out several blue rune papers from his arms, and the rune paper was engraved with complex runes, and the runes shimmered red. In the dim kitchen light, it looks weird and creepy.

The beard put the rune paper into the bowl of the five female disciples, and the rune paper dissolved in water, colorless and tasteless.

The corners of his mouth hooked up with an obscene smile, and then he walked out with the bowl.

When he returned to the main house, he reverted to the appearance of a philistine, and after putting down the bowl, he kept staring at the elder long, and the elder had no choice but to pay him a hundred silver coins first.

The beard got the money and gave the water to everyone.

And they haven't eaten a drop of water all day, so except for An Yan, who is dirty and refuses to drink, everyone else has drank.

And the beard swept the money bag in his hand and was obviously not satisfied, although this hundred silver coins could cost the whole village several years, but it was not so easy to send him away.

After collecting the money, the strong man once again stretched out his hand to the elder.

"What do you mean?" I don't know what to do.

"Silver! There are so many of you, who drink and live, can't you give me some hardship? ”

"Didn't you just give it to you?"

"That's water money, you all drink the water, don't you still need accommodation? Why don't you want to pay? Cut ~ The Yanling Sect still boasts of being the first sect, tsk, it's really embarrassing, I can't afford to pay this amount of money. ”

The elder was red-faced by the strange tone of the beard and the yin and yang, and he could only suppress his anger and ask, "How much do you want?" ”

The bearded scoundrel leaned against the wall behind him, his hands around his chest, and his beard made it impossible to see his face clearly, only to hear him say with a hippie smile: "Why do you have to get a hundred silver coins per person?" After all, I still have to find you a place to stay, it's a big night. ”

The elder gritted his teeth, and finally could only agree, otherwise what should I do? Robbing a house? Or kill people?

Of course, this money will not be responsible for the long time.

Hearing that he had to pay a hundred silver coins, Si Yongjun, who was sitting in the corner, stood up silently and said softly: "I'll just find a place to sleep outside for one night, don't count me." With that, he lifted his feet and walked out.

At this time, everyone's eyes began to notice this young man with a very low sense of existence - I saw that he was quite handsome, but his face was always indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything.

The clothes were a little short, and even the wrists and ankles were exposed, and in some places it was obvious that there were traces of sewing.

The elder had just paid attention to this young man, this was the first time he had seen such a poor disciple in the elite team selected by the empire, this person seemed to be from the Si family, right?

Si Yongjun and his parents were driven to live in the most remote area of the Tianhong Empire since he was a child, where there was almost everywhere sandy land, and there was no way to grow plants at all, and they had no money when they were kicked out.

In Si Yongjun's memory, he never even bought new clothes, and this dress didn't fit because he was going to participate in the family competition and his father borrowed it from others.

Until now, he didn't know what his father had done to be punished to suffer in the far south. He just wants to work hard to cultivate, and when he is strong, he will take his parents back to the imperial capital to live, of course, it is best to leave the Si family.

Si Yongjun went out, and the rest of the people looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

Suddenly, An Yan also stood up, pinched his nose and said in disgust: "I don't live here either, it's too smelly, I think it's better than here in the trees." With that, he strode out.

A hint of gloom crossed the beard's eyes, but it quickly disappeared again.

In the end, everyone chose to live in the woods, not because they felt sorry for the silver, but because the environment inside the house was really not much better than in the forest.

At the very least, the air in the forest is fresh.

Only the elder was a little distressed, so he only drank a bowl of water for a hundred silver coins? And he didn't know that the water was stuffed.

Just as a few people were about to walk out of the door, a bearded voice came from behind them: "You will come back and beg me." Then he slammed the door on the door.

Leaving the elder standing in the courtyard, his expression was a little dignified.

"What does he mean by that?" Since entering this village, the elders have felt that something is wrong, and when they came over in the past, the villagers would come out very enthusiastically to greet them, and they would prepare the room early, not only because of the prestige of the Yanling Sect on the mainland, but also because they were generous, and gave a lot of silver every time.

But this time Yongle Village was full of strangeness, it was not dark when they came, and according to the beard, it meant that most of the people in the village had died, but they had not seen anyone so far.

And what does it mean to say 'they will come back to him'?

With questions, the elder and a dozen people found a secluded forest nearby, and each found a suitable place to spread a blanket.

There are almost no magical beasts in the forest near the village, there are only some low-level insects and animals such as snakes, insects, rats and ants, as long as they release a little spiritual power, they will have already run out.

Si Qi and Mingyu were a little worried after listening to Luo Hu's words, so the positions of both of them surrounded Si Jiuyi's side, ready to protect her at all times.

"You don't have to be so nervous, it's okay." Si Jiuyi's expression was very calm, and he was not at all restless like others.

"It's a bit evil here, so it's better to be careful." Mingyu is still not at ease.

"I also checked that person just now, and he really didn't cultivate, he was just an ordinary person, but why did he say such strange things?" Si Qi was also puzzled.

An Yan, who was lying on a tree not far away, closed his eyes and recuperated by several people, and interrupted loudly: "I said, can you not worry about the sky?" Afraid of what? So many of us are still old, and we can't beat an ordinary person who has not cultivated? ”

"More than one." Si Jiuyi shook his finger, "Ever since we entered the village, the number of people outside the village has been increasing. Even now we are surrounded by people. ”

An Yan scoffed at her words and said disdainfully: "You mean that even the elders didn't find out, and you found out?" ”

At this time, the elder also came over, although he didn't notice that there were people around, but he felt that there was no need for Si Jiuyi to deceive them at this time.

What's more, Si Qi and Si Ge are also there, and the people of the Si family shouldn't be so stupid.

"What you said is true?" Long old asked.

"Naturally, it's true." Si Jiuyi's divine consciousness has recovered a bit now, not to mention this village, her current investigation scope is probably as wide as half of the imperial capital—it's just that this kind of large-scale investigation takes some energy.

"How many people? Can you know the strength? The meaning of the elder asking this was obviously to believe Si Jiuyi.

"There are a total of thirty people, three in the early stage of Jindan, two in the Great Perfection of the Bigu Period, two in the senior stage of the Bigu Period, and the rest are under the Bigu Period."

After Si Jiuyi finished speaking, Si Qi and Mingyu's expressions were obviously a little more solemn, obviously they believed Si Jiuyi's words. The two of them got closer to Si Jiuyi and completely protected her in the middle.

"Huh~" Shangguan Ling leaned on the tree behind him and let out a sneer, and then continued: "You said that thirty people are thirty people, and there are three Jindan stage primaries, why don't you say the Yuan infant stage?" If they have three golden pill periods, won't they rush over directly? Could it be that they are still afraid of our small team, which only has a junior level of the Jindan stage? ”

It turned out that when Si Qi introduced Chang Lao to Si Jiuyi at the gate of the city, Shangguan Ling heard that Chang Lao's cultivation was the primary stage of the Jindan period.

Shangguan Ling is the kind of person who has a violent temper and can't hold back her words, especially when she can't get used to Si Jiuyi's "pretending to be forced" - what she says is the truth, as if everyone is the best for her.

Si Jiuyi ignored her and quarreled with her.

"yes...... What are they waiting for......" Si Jiuyi muttered, unable to figure it out.

No sooner had she said this than a sharp whistle sounded in the silence of the night, very briefly, and then it dissipated with the wind.

Everyone was wondering how anyone could whistle this night, and they didn't notice that the eyes of the women in the team all became hollow after listening to the whistle, as if they had lost focus.

Just when everyone didn't react, they saw Shangguan Ling, Shangguan Haitang, An Ning and Mingmei suddenly take out their weapons, and then quickly slashed or slashed towards the people closest to them.

"Get out of the way!" The elder quickly made a sound when he found this scene, and then pulled back Antai, who was standing next to him and did not move, Antai was obviously startled by his sister's sudden hand, and was almost cut to the shoulder.

Seeing that he hadn't cut anyone, Shangguan Ling took the sword and went straight to the elder again.

"What's wrong with them?" Si Bing and Si Le restrained the brightness closest to them together, and only then did they have time to ask the elder elder.

It was the first time that the elder had encountered such a situation, and he was also confused! These people were obviously controlled, when were they recruited? And the people who had the accident were all women.

But if they are all women, why are Si Jiuyi and Si Le fine?

"It's water! We only drank water after entering the village! Antai suddenly shouted loudly, the water was filled, this is the only explanation that makes sense.

The other three who spoke were also tied up in uniform, after all, none of them were very strong, and it was not difficult to subdue them.
