Lin Huaizhu and Qin Jianglan stayed in Jianing City for a month, and this time they went down the mountain not only to eliminate the demon cultivators who were in trouble, but also to find the young man surnamed Bai, so in this month in Jianing City, they never gave up searching.

Only a month passed, and they couldn't find anything in Jianing City, so they decided to leave the city and look elsewhere.

In fact, they also knew that this was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, but it was always a much better chance than waiting to die in a city, and Lin Huaizhu and Qin Jianglan could only use such a stupid way to find it.

At this time, they didn't know that the Four Seas Continent would soon usher in a turmoil.

A small tea shed outside the city gates

"Master, do you think that there seem to be a lot of evil spirits in various places these days?"

While waiting for the store to serve tea, Lin Huaizhu asked quietly.

"Indeed." Qin Jianglan nodded.

In the three months since I left Jianing City, I have passed through more than a dozen villages, large and small, and almost every village has evil troubles, either in the village or not far from the village.

Although these evil cults are not very popular, they are very surprising in number.

"Speaking of which, I've seen something similar before." Lin Huaizhu suddenly remembered for a while, and hurriedly said, "When I left Andu City, I also passed through many villages at that time, and found that the number of evil spirits in those villages was slowly increasing, I thought it was due to the influence of the resentment body of Chang'an Village, which caused the number of evil spirits in that village to skyrocket, if it wasn't caused by Han Zhu, I was thinking, would it be related to these demon cultivators?" ”

Qin Jianglan listened to her speculation, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's not good to say, calculate the time, it happens to be the time when the demon cultivation actions are frequent, and this possibility cannot be ruled out." ”

While they were talking, the shopkeeper came with tea, and Lin Huaizhu and Qin Jianglan had to stop talking and let the shopkeeper pour tea.

As soon as the shopkeeper left their table, a group of people rushed to the official road, four monks, three men and one woman, sat down around a table, and the female cultivator raised her hand to ask the shopkeeper for tea, and then the four of them chatted as if no one was around.

"Recently, the Four Seas Continent has not been very peaceful, in addition to those annoying demon cultivators who deliberately cause trouble, the spiritual cultivation that specializes in robbing houses and houses has also been active, which really makes people feel at ease when they even go out!" The monk with an inch of hair said in a somewhat heavy tone, obviously very unhappy.

There is always no shortage of villains in this world, and when they saw that the demon cultivators had messed up the Four Seas Continent, they also followed up a few times, trying to get some benefits out of it, which can really be said to be harmful to others and self-interested, how can it not make people angry.

"That is to say, when will the three great immortal sects and the four great families be able to subdue these demon cultivators? Is it just for good looks? A stout monk snorted.

"Speaking of these three immortal sects, I heard a piece of news......" The inch-headed monk who spoke first lowered his body and whispered, "I heard that there are people in the three major immortal sects who collude with demon cultivators!" ”

"What you want to say, isn't it the Qingyuan Daojun of the Taichumen?" The only female cultivator among the four handed him a roll of his eyes and said in a somewhat impulsive tone.

"That's not what I said, I accidentally heard someone talking about me." The inch-headed monk touched his head and argued.

"Qingyuan Daojun is not that kind of person, this is someone deliberately framed!" The nun glared.

"Why are you so excited, do you know this Qingyuan Daojun?" The stout monk asked, puzzled.

"Qingyuan Daojun saved my life, no, the life of our village, more than five hundred years ago, if it weren't for Qingyuan Daojun to cut off the bad monks who did evil in our village with a sword, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive now." After the tea was served, the nun poured tea for everyone and said, "Anyway, I don't believe that Qingyuan Daojun is such a person, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense outside!" ”

"I know, I know, we don't know him, there is no injustice or hatred, what do you do when you say bad things about him, isn't this what I just heard, I want to share it with you." Seeing that she was so excited, the inch-headed monk compromised again and again.

Lin Huaizhu quietly raised his eyes and glanced at the master, seeing that he picked up the teacup and took a sip as usual, not affected in the slightest, Lin Huaizhu was relieved to continue to prick up his ears and eavesdrop on the conversation of the people at the table.

"Old Lu, why don't you speak? It's rare to see you so quiet. The stout monk was eating refreshments, and suddenly noticed that there was a silent person at their table, and asked curiously.

When he asked, the other two also noticed that there was something wrong with the monk surnamed Nalu, and they all looked sideways at him, expressing their doubts.

The monk surnamed Lu had a calm face, and the whole person looked uncertain, and the monk who could listen to him asked, and replied in a calm voice: "When they were preparing to hunt separately, I heard someone in the store talking about a news, I don't know if it's true or not, if it's true, I'm afraid we can only let the demon cultivator slaughter it in the future." ”

"What's the news?" The other three were startled and stopped what they were doing and asked.

"The aura of the Four Seas Continent, I'm afraid it won't last long!"

"What?!" The three of them looked at each other, the air was quiet for a few seconds, and the inch-headed monk couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean it won't last long?" ”

"It means that there may be no aura in the future!" Lao Lu said angrily.

"How is that possible!" The trio's eyes widened in disbelief.

The sturdy monk looked at him with a suspicious face, and said: "How can there be no aura, auras are produced by spiritual veins, as long as the spiritual veins are still there, the spiritual energy is still there, and the most important spiritual veins are firmly controlled by the three major immortal sects and the four great families, you are saying this now to scare us and take pleasure in seeing our reactions, right?" ”

"Scaring you?" Lao Lu took a sip of the teacup and snorted, "What are you trying to scare you for, do you have a spirit stone?" Do you have a magic weapon to take? I have nothing to do to lie about this? You only know that the spiritual energy is produced by the spiritual veins, but have you ever thought that if the spiritual veins do not produce spiritual energy one day? ”

The three of them were stunned, and a chill rose from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

As a spiritual cultivator, how could he have thought that one day the aura would no longer have such terrible thoughts!

Seeing their disbelief, Lao Lu had to sigh and said, "I don't want to believe it either, but I heard that this news has been checked by the city on the very edge, and now the monks in the central area of the Four Seas Continent have not yet received the news, but if it continues like this, it will not be able to hide it for long." ”

"But, but...... Isn't the spirit vein okay? How can it not produce aura? The sturdy monk still resisted.

"How can I know this, the reason why the spiritual veins no longer produce spiritual energy, naturally has to be investigated by the three major immortal sects and the four great families, how can we little fish and shrimp have that ability."

As soon as the monk surnamed Lu finished speaking, the entire table fell silent and silent.

Lin Huaizhu and Qin Jianglan glanced at each other, their brows furrowed slightly, and their eyes were full of solemnity.

Has the decline of the aura been rapid to this point? Even ordinary monks already know about it, so presumably all the major sect families have also received the news.

Lin Huaizhu was secretly worried in his heart, as a result, the young man surnamed Bai was even more uneasy, and it became more and more difficult for them to find the traces of this person.

Without the spiritual vein, the existence of the Wuling people means something, three-year-old children know it, so the act of snatching him will be even more ferocious, and everyone has the idea that death is inevitable to get him, then he will not be able to escape.

The two sat at the table in silence and drank tea, and when the four people at the table had left, Lin Huaizhu and Qin Jianglan got up to leave.

As soon as the news of the dissipation of the spiritual energy of the Four Seas Continent came out, it shocked all the spiritual cultivators to panic and worry that everyone was in danger, and they tried their best to save themselves, but more of them hoped that this was fake news.

"Demon Venerable, all the formations have been activated, and the spiritual energy is constantly consuming all over the Four Seas Continent, judging from the existing spiritual energy, it won't be long before it will be exhausted." A man knelt down on one knee and said respectfully to Junzhe.

Jun Zhe listened to the other party's return, sat on the chair without any fluctuations, and with a lazy wave of his big hand, the man took the order, and the room suddenly fell silent, as if it were an empty room.

After a while, Junzhe got up and walked to the bottom of the porch, stopped and looked at the holy flowers blooming in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, his face was deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

A guard followed him, standing straight behind Junzhe, guarding his safety, this person was the Great Guardian called by the Demon Cultivator.

"When the aura is exhausted, the Four Seas Continent will be the world of my demon cultivator, and at that time, we will be able to act." Jun Zhe first looked at the courtyard silently, and suddenly laughed out loud for a long time, and said to the big guard without a smile in his eyes.

Da Siwei lowered his head, lowered his eyes and looked at his toes without responding, his silent Junzhe had long been used to it, so he didn't care that the other party didn't reply.

Usually he said ten words, and this person only replied to him one or two sentences, and he didn't expect him to respond to his words, but Junzhe didn't get angry at the moment.

A master and a servant stood quietly under the porch, staring at the flowers blooming in the courtyard, silent.

North Hill City

"Master, do you feel that something is wrong?"

Lin Huaizhu and Qin Jianglan entered Beiqiu City, and saw several teams of people and horses dressed in the costumes of Taichumen disciples appearing from a distance, holding portraits in their hands, carefully inspecting the crowd, as if they were looking for someone.

Qin Jianglan also followed the gaze, his face still had an indifferent expression, but the slight frown between his eyebrows still revealed his inner emotions: "The number is not right." ”

Beiqiu City is a city near Yancheng, and it is also within the jurisdiction of Taichumen, Yancheng was previously regarded as the stronghold of Taichumen, and once he sent disciples to inspect the surrounding cities, once he found that something was wrong, he immediately returned to the Shimen.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there are disciples from the Taichu Sect here, but the strange thing is that the number of people is inevitably larger, there are two or three teams of disciples on one street, and one street is like this, you can imagine how many disciples there are in the whole city.

Thinking of the news he had just heard in the small tea shed, Lin Huaizhu was startled, and immediately turned his head to look at the master, lowered his voice and asked in surprise, "Is it because of the rumor we just heard?" ”

Since the news has spread from the city on the edge of the Four Seas Continent to the center, the sect may have already known about it, and looking at the performance of these groups of disciples, Lin Huaizhu guessed that the one they were looking for should be the young man surnamed Bai.

Qin Jianglan stared at the group of disciples and said, "Eight or nine is not far from ten." ”

Just as the two of them were talking, the sharp-eyed disciple saw Qin Jianglan, and immediately looked solemn, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Senior Uncle Qin." ”

Qin Jianglan responded with his head bowed and asked lightly: "What are you doing?" ”

The disciple followed Qin Jianglan's line of sight and glanced back at the rest of the disciples who were looking for someone, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Hui, it was the head of the sect who ordered us to search for suspicious characters in the city, and we must be ahead of others...... Find the boy surnamed Bai. ”

The disciple lowered his voice and whispered in the last sentence.

Qin Jianglan looked at the group of disciples calmly on his face, then nodded lightly, and said, "Then you go and get busy, it's important to complete the task ordered by the senior brother in charge." ”

"Yes." The disciple continued, and then searched for the boy who matched the portrait.

Seeing this, Qin Jianglan turned sideways to Lin Huaizhu and whispered: "You want to protect his wish, I'm afraid it's going to be in vain, if I guess correctly, the rest of the sect families have already taken action." ”

The Taichu Sect sent so many disciples to search with such fanfare, and was not afraid of the news at all, presumably the rest of the heads of the family also started to act, this matter, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to be good.

Lin Huaizhu frowned and looked at the group of people, and said when he heard the words: "If he is a smart person, he naturally knows that he can't go to the city at this time, once he enters the city, he will be like a turtle in an urn, waiting for others to catch him, but he has not had any news for so long, there are only two possibilities." ”

She looked at Qin Jianglan and said, "First, he hid very well and didn't let people find out, and second, ...... He has been arrested, it is the person who captured him who sealed the news tightly, and did not leak a single rumor, if it is the former, there is still a glimmer of life, but if it is the latter......"

Lin Huaizhu's heart sank, if it was the latter, there was basically no way to save him.
