Meng Xihua's failure to assassinate Xia Fan led to punishment was a matter of course.

In fact, Xia Fan didn't kill her directly, which was already an open side.

But.

Meng Xihua's attitude is indeed commendable.

She didn't run away.

He didn't call for help from the elders.

Instead, he honestly chose to accept Xia Fan's punishment.

If it is replaced by a person who does not know the height of the sky.

I don't know how much trouble I have to add to Xia Fan.

After all, Meng Xihua's Shouqing Pavilion is not a vegetarian.

You must know that Yu Fengzi, who came to visit Xia Fan today, is a Yuanying Realm monk.

Fortunately, the other party has no malicious intent.

After simply explaining his intentions, he no longer bothered Xia Fan, and simply chose to leave directly.

I won't say that although my nephew is at fault, you can't bully her, and then Balabala fought with Xia Fan unreasonably.

Of course.

The other party did not dare to make a move.

It's hard to say whether he took care of Xia Fan's strength.

In this regard.

Meng Xihua would definitely relay his speculation about Xia Fan's strength to the elders of his division.

But it's better to see than to hear.

Whatever the purpose.

Her elders are bound to meet Xia Fan.

It's nothing more than that someone at Xia Fan's level is enough to attract their attention.

What's more, he is still a human immortal.

Human immortals are not cabbages.

Except for the Martial God Palace.

The appearance of a human immortal in any sect is a very important event.

All practitioners understand it.

The path of martial cultivation is the most difficult path on the path of cultivation.

As a last resort.

Very few cultivators embark on the path of martial cultivation.

Although the martial cultivation of the same cultivation realm is stronger.

However, the cultivation progress of martial arts cultivation is far behind that of monks, and Shouyuan is even more incomparable to monks.

Practitioners pursue the path of immortality.

If you can.

No one wants to fight and kill.

The problem is to face the threat of self-related interests, demons, and so on.

All of this forced the practitioners to fight and kill.

Shouqing Pavilion did not intend to have a bad relationship with Xia Fan.

On the one hand, Meng Xihua is safe and sound, and on the other hand, Xia Fan's strength.

As long as there is no problem with the brain, people will not find an enemy for themselves for no reason.

Isn't it good to have more good karma?

Therefore.

Although the communication between Yu Fengzi and Xia Fan was simple, it was friendly.

There was an escort from the Yuan Infant Realm monk.

Xia Fan didn't have to worry too much about the safety of Dong Cailing and others along the way.

In the days that followed.

He spent it all by himself.

It reminded him of his life in seclusion in the mountains.

Although there is no worry about food and clothing in the mountain villa, the living conditions in all aspects are many times better than in the mountains.

But in Xia Fan's opinion, there is not much difference.

As for the people in the lodge.

His attitude towards them was the same as that of the refugees he had rescued back then, and there was basically no communication between them.

It's time to eat, it's time to drink, it's time to play.

That's how he lives now.

If tired and tired.

I simply practiced quietly for a while.

Every time you finish cultivating.

Before I knew it, three or five months had passed.

It is no wonder that practitioners slowly lack the concept of time.

Especially for those who are in retreat regularly, as soon as their eyes are closed, decades have passed since the outside world has passed.

And many of the things that practitioners were once familiar with have long since become different.

Sometimes.

This is one of the reasons why practitioners are emotionally apathetic.

Your family, your friends, your neighbors.

All the people you know.

In the end, they all watched each other leave the world.

Leave yourself alone in this world.

There is no fetters of family affection, no entanglement of friendship, and no lingering love.

How much emotion can there be for a cultivator who is dedicated to the path of immortality?

Xia Fan didn't want to be such a person.

And so it goes.

What's the fun of such a life?

It's just that.

He himself doesn't know if he will become the person he hates in the future.

Especially as the cultivation realm increases, this trend becomes more and more obvious.

In a way.

He's not human anymore.

In the eyes of ignorant ordinary people.

He is actually no different from the immortal god who is high above.

Only Xia Fan knew it in his heart.

He is neither an immortal nor a god.

He's just an ordinary person who is confused.

An ordinary person with great power.

Otherwise, he would not have been trapped in his inner demons, and he would not be able to free himself to this day.

He is different from everyone else.

Ordinary people spend their lives in the pursuit of fame and fortune.

But for Xia Fan, it is something at his fingertips.

Practitioners spend their lives pursuing the path of immortality.

But for Xia Fan, it is a simple matter of eating, drinking, and sleeping.

As long as he continues to cultivate step by step with the golden finger, sooner or later in the future, he will be able to reach the realm of immortality.

From the beginning.

The original purpose of his cultivation was to protect himself.

After having the strength to protect himself, he did not have the intention of becoming a king and hegemon.

Wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauties.

That sounds like a very tempting thing to do.

Here's the problem.

Xia Fan didn't like it.

Boring.

Afterward.

A lot happened to him.

A lot of it is something that I can't help myself.

Sometimes.

He felt that his life was not for himself, but for others.

All the way.

He is passively involved in the whirlpool of right and wrong in his aimless life.

Just like this time.

Obviously, he could have walked away.

But he chose to stay.

Even if he knew what he was about to face.

Dangerous.

A danger that could cost you your life.

Just because of some of their own indifferent insistences?

Doesn't it look ridiculous?

Perhaps.

Half a year has passed since Dong Cailing and the others left the Asuka Dynasty.

Calculate the time.

They have now settled in the Gorse.

According to Xia Fan's prediction.

In the next year or two, they will not be able to come back for a while.

Lin Wu Villa has remained the same as ever in the past six months.

Even after Dong Cailing left, it did not affect the normal operation of the villa.

On the one hand, all aspects of the villa have been on the right track, and on the other hand, Dong Cailing has left the team he formed to handle the daily affairs of the villa.

Unless something critical happens.

These people will look for Xia Fan to make a decision.

Of course.

This is also Dong Cailing's explanation.

All in all.

Dong Cailing had already considered everything before leaving, and Xia Fan didn't need to work at all.

He just needs to live his life in peace.

I don't know how many days have passed.

Xia Fan left the villa again and went to the nearest town.

"Where's the old Guan noodle stall?"

When he was ready to feast at the old Guan noodle stall as before.

It turned out that the location of the old Guan noodle stall had been replaced by a new vendor.

A stall selling dough fruits.

The tables and chairs on the side of the stall are sporadic customers, far less prosperous than when the old guanmen stall was there.

Xia Fan casually ordered a few kinds of noodles and sat aside, and asked the middle-aged vendor in front of him who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.

"Don't you know? Lao Guan and his family suddenly contracted a vicious disease last month and unfortunately passed away. ”

The middle-aged vendor was surprised.

"What? This man said he was gone?"

Xia Fan suddenly said with a stunned face.

"Alas, who said it wasn't, they saw that their family was fine before, but they contracted a vicious disease and died for no reason. ”

The middle-aged vendor shook his head and sighed softly.

"Are you sure that Lao Guan's family really contracted a vicious disease and died?"

Xia Fan couldn't help but wonder.

"Of course, it's not just Lao Guan's family, there were hundreds of people in the city who died from the evil disease last month, but fortunately, the city lord later controlled it properly, which prevented the spread of the evil disease. ”

The middle-aged vendor said without concealment.

"How did this disease come about?"

Xia Fan frowned.

"I heard that it was brought by foreign merchants, and the guest officer may not know that a plague broke out in the Shunlin area a few months ago, and many people fled and left, including those who came to us......

The middle-aged vendor patiently explained.

"I see. ”

Xia Fan nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.

After eating the dough in two or three bites, and dropping a few silver coins, he got up and left the vendor.

Perhaps it was affected by the death of Lao Guan's family.

Xia Fan didn't go to the teahouse to listen to the book as usual.

After inquiring about the burial place of Lao Guan's family, he went directly to the outside of the city.

An unknown hill outside the city.

A large number of graves can be found everywhere here.

It is said that all the people who died of the vicious disease at that time were sent by the lord of the castle to dig a large pit and bury them together, and then set them on fire.

The Lao Guan family is no exception.

"Come out. ”

Stand quietly in front of a mound of earth with countless vegetarian inserts.

Xia Fan said suddenly.

"Shopkeeper, it's been a long time, can you still remember it?"

The next moment.

A cyan figure walked out from behind a tree with leisurely steps.

“...... Who are you?"

Xia Fan turned his head and casually looked at the handsome young man in front of him who was wearing a cyan power suit and looked extraordinary.

"The shopkeeper is really a noble person who forgets things, but also, the shopkeeper can meet a large number of guests every day at that time, and it is normal not to remember it. ”

The person who came was Xue Qing.

He walked slowly to a stop less than ten steps away from Xia Fan, and looked at the mound in front of him at the same time.

"Under Xue Qing. ”

"Oh. ”

Xia Fan turned his head and said coldly.

"I don't know why the shopkeeper came to this place? Could it be that there are people in this pit who know the shopkeeper?"

Xue Qing asked seemingly casually.

"No, I just feel that life is impermanent, and the person I knew not long ago died not long after. ”

Xia Fan said in a flat tone.

"Perhaps, this is their fate. ”

Xue Qing said disapprerovitically.

"Having said that, the Asuka Dynasty has indeed been a bit unquiet in the past two years. ”

"Is there one?"

Xia Fan was unmoved.

"Yes, I've been to many places over the years, and it turns out that everywhere I go, I hear about plague outbreaks everywhere I go. ”

Xue Qing shook his head and said.

"I didn't expect this place to be no exception. ”

"Are you sure?"

Xia Fan raised his eyebrows.

Of course, if you don't believe it, the shopkeeper can go and inquire for himself. ”

Xue Qing said in an indifferent tone.

"Huh, what about people?!"

Xue Qing saw that Xia Fan had not said anything for a long time, and subconsciously turned his head to look.

He was stunned to find out.

Where else is there a trace of Xia Fan around.

The so-called great plague will be followed by a great plague.

The key is that the Asuka Dynasty has generally been smooth over the years.

So where did the plague in Xue Qing's mouth come from?

If it's just one or two places, it's normal for the plague to break out.

If there are more than one or two places where the plague can break out, then the problem is not normal.

There is something strange.

After realizing that something is wrong.

Xia Fan left without saying a word.

He did not return to the lodge.

Instead, he went directly to the Wuhua Sect.

This is not the first time Xia Fan has traveled to Wuhua Sect.

After coming to a cave in the Wuhua Sect with a familiar car.

He deliberately triggered the ban in the cave.

Moment.

The middle-aged monk who had had several relationships appeared in front of Xia Fan.

"I don't know what your majesty commands when you come?"

When the middle-aged monk saw the person in front of him, he immediately put away his vigilance and became extremely respectful.

He did not go to the Plantagenets.

It's nothing more than that the Wuhua Sect needs someone to sit in charge.

And this person is none other than a middle-aged monk.

"I need to know something, I'm afraid only you Asuka Dao Alliance have this ability. ”

Xia Fan didn't beat around the bush and directly explained his intentions.

"I wonder what Your Excellency wants to know?"

The middle-aged monk hurriedly said.

"I want to know about the plague that has broken out in various parts of the Asuka Dynasty in the past three years. ”

Xia Fan said in a deep voice.

"Plague?!"

The middle-aged monk was stunned when he heard this.

"Yes. ”

Xia Fan nodded, but did not explain.

"Wait a little here, and Poor Dao will now order someone to investigate the matter. ”

The middle-aged monk took a deep breath and said.

"Good!"

Xia Fan was not polite at all, and directly rested in the cave.

I don't know how long it took.

The middle-aged monk returned to the cave with a solemn expression, and at the same time handed a jade talisman to Xia Fan, who was sitting on a futon and cultivating.

"Your Excellency, this is what you want to report on the plague. ”

"Not bad. ”

Xia Fan opened his eyes, casually took the jade talisman handed by the middle-aged monk and praised it, and then sensed the content of the jade talisman.

Really.

This plague is not normal.

Since three years.

Minor plagues broke out intermittently throughout the Asuka Dynasty.

Until a year ago.

The scale of the plague began to gradually expand, and it began to bloom everywhere.

Interestingly, the Asuka Dynasty has yet to identify the source of the plague.

For this.

The Asuka Dynasty had specially asked some sects.

As a result, these sects also gained nothing.

"Your Excellency, the plague situation you are investigating seems a little strange. ”

After watching Xia Fan fall into deep thought.

The middle-aged monk on the side couldn't help but speak cautiously.

"Yes, in your opinion, do you think this plague is a natural disaster or a man-made one?"

Xia Fan threw the jade talisman back to the middle-aged monk Dao.

“...... In my humble opinion, this plague is not like an ordinary natural disaster!"

The middle-aged monk said in a deep voice.

"Send someone to carefully investigate the source of the plague, and by the way, inquire if something similar has happened in other dynasties. ”

Xia Fan said with half-squinted eyes.

“...... Your Excellency suspects that it's not just the Asuka Dynasty that has a strange plague?"

The middle-aged monk's face changed instantly after hearing this, and at the same time he was keenly aware of the seriousness of the problem.

"Yes, and I already have an ominous premonition. ”
