Listening to Xiao Er's detailed explanation, Lin Huaizhu nodded suddenly and echoed: "That is the case, we should really go and see it on the day of the Lantern Festival, by the way, Xiao Er, we are also new to Huaiyang City, and we don't know much about the situation in the city, do you know what else you have seen and heard in the city?" For example, whether there are evil spirits and so on. ”

She had planned it long before she came, not only to follow the route that her master traveled back then, but also to give Lin Haochen a chance to exercise, like the best way to exorcise evil spirits for the people in the city.

With her, even if Lin Haochen's current strength can't deal with the evil, but the evil of the troubled people is usually not much stronger, and the time to form is generally just a few years, and the evil of these just a few years is not in her eyes, she can make it disappear with a slight movement of her fingers, don't worry about it hurting people.

Lin Huaizhu originally wanted to give Lin Haochen a chance to fight, but Xiao Er misunderstood, he thought that Lin Huaizhu wanted to ask about the incident that had been rumored in the city recently but was suppressed, his face changed suddenly, he waved his hand again and again, and whispered in fear: "The fairy doesn't dare to ask, this matter is a big taboo in the city, the city lord suppresses it and doesn't let it be mentioned, we don't dare to talk nonsense." ”

Lin Huaizhu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his performance slightly aroused a little curiosity, she looked back and forth, left and right, and found that there were no guests at the adjacent table close to her, so she used the soundproof magic device that Si Che gave her to envelop her table, and then said: "You just have to rest assured, my jade pendant can isolate the transmission of sound, even if it is a monk in the Transformation Period, it can also isolate a stick of incense from letting him hear it, you don't have to worry." ”

Xiao Er didn't know whether it was true or not, although the noise around his body was indeed isolated at the moment when the jade pendant was activated, and only Lin Huaizhu's voice could be heard in the barrier, but he was still a little scared in his heart, so the hesitation on his face was also brought out, and Lin Huaizhu, who saw it, raised his eyebrows and started the second move.

"That's it, I don't embarrass you, whether it's your business or not, originally I thought that if you can tell me the cause and effect, my bag of a hundred lower-grade spirit stones will be yours, but seeing that you are in trouble now, then forget it."

After speaking, he was ready to take back the jade pendant and make an expression of nonchalance.

"Fairy, don't panic!" Xiao Eryan quickly put his hand on the bag of spirit stones, and said with a smile, "The villain is not afraid that his eloquence is not good, and he can't say it clearly, so he is a little hesitant, and now the villain has already figured out how to speak, fairy, please listen to me slowly." ”

Lin Huaizhu took a sip of the teacup, smug in his heart, and raised his chin at him, signaling that he could speak.

It turned out that since half a year, there has been news of the disappearance of monks for no reason in Huaiyang City, and these missing monks have a common characteristic, that is, the cultivation is in the foundation building period, and they all appear in Huaiyang City alone.

"Since they are single and have no companions to report the crime, how can they be sure that they are missing and not left on their own?" Lin Huaizhu held the teacup in his hand and asked curiously.

It has been mentioned that it is missing, that is, there is no one alive and no corpse is dead, otherwise it should be said that there is a homicide rather than a missing person.

"The fairy asked yes, everyone said so, and the little one didn't believe it." Xiao Er grabbed the rag on his shoulder, looked left and right carefully, and after making sure that no one was looking here, he said nervously and mysteriously, "Until one day, there was such a monk living in our store, the villain clearly remembers, the first day this monk also handed the villain a bag of spirit stones for the villain to help him buy things, and the little one bought it back that night, but when he saw that it was getting late, he didn't dare to disturb the monk's rest, so he wanted to say that he would give it to him early the next morning, but the result was ...... As a result, the villain never saw this monk again, and the thing was still in my place, and the little one who was afraid of this incident was also afraid, and he didn't dare to be humane, so he kept it hidden, and the fairy was the first person to know about it. ”

Lin Huaizhu frowned, his fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the rim of the cup, and asked suddenly, "Where is the thing?" Can you bring it to me and show it? ”

"Ouch fairy, don't do it, where does the villain dare to take it out, if someone sees it, I'm afraid that my life will not be guaranteed." Xiao Er trembled with fright when he heard this, and shook his head again and again, he is not stupid, since the other party picks a lone monk to attack, it means that he is unwilling to let people know about this, he is a powerless little person, just to make a living, where dare to ruin that person's plan.

However, he saw that Lin Huaizhu had a kind face, looked very easy-going, and the person was beautiful, so he had a good impression of her in his heart, and saw her frowning at this moment, and added in a low voice, "The small bag of things was buried directly, and I didn't dare to dig it out and show it to the fairy, but if the fairy wanted to know what he bought at that time, it was not difficult, and the monk handed over a note to the small one at that time, and asked me to buy it back according to what was written on it, and this note is still left in the small one, if the fairy needs it, the little one will go and get it immediately." ”

Lin Huaizhu immediately admitted: "This will bother you." ”

Xiao Er casually found a reason to explain his departure, and sneaked back to the room where the guys lived in the backyard of the inn while people were not paying attention, rummaged under his bed, and finally found the note, hurriedly put it in his sleeve, and hurriedly sent it to Lin Huaizhu.

During the exchange just now, Lin Haochen didn't quite understand what Lin Huaizhu meant, and after seeing Xiao Er leave, he asked in a low voice, "Auntie, do you want to investigate this matter?" ”

"That's not ......" Lin Huaizhu turned the teacup in his hand boredly, and said: "Anyway, boring is boring, let's see if there is any hidden secret, this matter has not been exposed yet, and I don't know if it's true or not, I have to see what the monk said in Xiao Er's mouth just now asked him to buy, so as to confirm one or two." ”

"Why is that?" Lin Haochen asked puzzled.

"If the things on the note are common items, then the monk's disappearance doesn't mean anything, after all, it's very likely that he met someone or something temporarily, or even worse, he saw the enemy, so he ran away." Lin Huaizhu supported his chin with one hand, and seeing that Lin Haochen looked very curious, he explained weakly, "But if it's something valuable, this can explain the problem...... Although I don't think it's possible for that monk to hand over important things to Xiao Er to buy, what if Xiao Er who bought things for him is a greedy guy? If he took the spirit stone and ran away, he would have nowhere to find anyone in the vast sea of people. ”

Lin Haochen nodded, with a thoughtful expression.

The two waited for a while, and the little two rushed back, and when he walked to Lin Huaizhu's table, he naturally took off the rag on his shoulder, and secretly hid the note in the rag while everyone was unprepared, pretending to wipe the table, pressing the note with the plate on the table, and whispering: "Fairy, this is it." ”

Lin Huaizhu pretended not to care, nodded very casually, it seemed that the two of them were as simple as meeting and saying hello, and after Xiao Er left, Lin Huaizhu pretended to adjust the plate and took out the note, unfolded it and looked at it, his brows suddenly furrowed, and his face was solemn.

"Auntie, what's wrong? Isn't it expensive that the things written on it are expensive? ”

Lin Huaizhu shook his head and said, "No, they are all very common medicinal materials. ”

"If it's common, why are you so serious on your face......

Lin Huaizhu put away the note in his hand, sleeved his hand, and said indifferently: "It's very common, yes, but the effects of these medicinal materials are used to heal injuries and replenish blood, so he should have an injury on his body at that time, but it is not serious, if the injury is serious, these medicinal materials are useless at all." And I saw that the amount of medicinal herbs he wrote was about five days' amount, and according to the normal situation, the monk had some minor injuries, and it was almost five days before he could heal, so there was no reason for him to leave at this time. ”

Although the injury is not serious, but since it has reached the point where he needs to buy medicine, it also means that his physical condition does not allow him to run around, and at such a moment, Lin Huaizhu's eyes gradually turned deep, and he secretly said in his heart It seems that the rumors that have appeared in the city these days are not groundless.

She turned her eyes and saw that Lin Haochen also had a serious look on his face, took back the note in his hand, and said, "You don't care about this matter, next, you still have other things to do." ”

"Oh." Although Lin Haochen didn't know what Lin Huaizhu wanted him to do, his face was full of confused words, but he still obediently agreed.

Lin Huaizhu knew that he had doubts in his heart, but in order to maintain the mystery of the incident, she didn't say anything.

Lin Haochen followed her nervously all the way, and when he came to a residential block, he saw her set up a small stall in an open corner on the side of the road, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

What my aunt said he needed to do was to give people free exorcism here?

It has only been a month since he began to draw qi into the body, and it stands to reason that the sword technique is the first spell to be learned by the disciples of the major sects, and before learning it, he should concentrate on cultivating the spell.

But Lin Huaizhu couldn't wait, if he learned the swordsmanship, he would have to stay on that mountain for a year and a half, because to learn the swordsmanship, he must first learn to use the aura to manipulate objects, which would take several months, plus the monks who had just started cultivating their own aura was insufficient, even if they learned to manipulate objects, they were just small objects like pens and teacups.

Like when she didn't control her aura well, it took almost a year to learn, Lin Haochen's progress seemed to be better than her, but according to her estimates, she would have to stay up for half a year, which was too long.

For this reason, Lin Huaizhu thought of taking him down the mountain and letting him practice using spells in the battle against the evil spirit, and at the same time improve his cultivation in actual combat, this method is much faster than pure cultivation, and when he can skillfully control the aura and his cultivation rises, the sword art will be easy to learn.

Although Lin Haochen didn't understand this, he knew that Lin Huaizhu would not harm him, so he did whatever she said without refuting it.

So after they set up their stall for an hour, they finally ushered in their first business.
