When the clay came back, his heart was beating fast.

Although he pretended to be calm on his face, his heartbeat, which was so fast that it was at least one hundred and twenty beats per minute, betrayed him, telling Wu Xie that he was actually very nervous and excited.

When Wu Xie borrowed the token from him to take a look, he was stunned for a moment, looking a little overwhelmed.

It wasn't an expression of reluctance, but an expression of distress that I didn't know how to explain it.

After hesitating for a while, the clay smiled bitterly and said, "That...... Token...... It's not on me anymore. ”

Wu Xie frowned when he heard this, and his voice was slightly cold: "Liu Ming actually robbed you of something?" ”

He originally thought that Liu Ming was a very good person, but he didn't expect that in front of Xianyuan, this seemingly kind young man would also do something vicious!

"Nope! That's not ......" The clay hurriedly explained, but as if he remembered something, he couldn't speak with a bitter face.

Wu Xie looked at his face carefully, and only saw the look of distress and embarrassment on his face, but he couldn't see the slightest frustration and sadness, but was vaguely happy.

Thinking of his own situation, he suddenly realized that he must have met an immortal when he went out this time. He has the tokens left by his ancestors by his side, so he naturally got the fairy fate.

"I see!" He laughed and dragged the clay towards the restaurant, "This is a good thing to celebrate!" Walk! Drink two glasses and go! ”

The clay was surprised at first, then understood what he meant, and further guessed something, and whispered in surprise: "You're also-"

"Don't say that, drink, drink!"

The restaurant is quite lively, and the immortal seekers who have returned from going out are tired for several days and need to relax. Most of them have a little money, and when it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, they don't lag behind others at all.

Wu Xie thought very maliciously, I wonder if these people can also move forward bravely in terms of hardships and hard work?

He and the clay went to an inconspicuous corner on the second floor, ordered some ordinary wine and food, and chatted while drinking.

Both of them deliberately avoided the topic of seeking immortals, and only talked about some things in life, such as customs and customs, such as some interesting things and trivial things that God knows...... Eating, drinking, and talking, but also quite comfortable.

The days are short in winter, and before you know it, the sky is getting dark. However, the restaurant was open for business at night, and the men had already lit the pine lights on the pilasters in the house, and brought oil lamps to every table. These oil lamps are covered with tissue paper, which can not only block the wind, but also not too much to block the light, and together with the burning pine light, it can provide more adequate lighting, so that diners can enjoy the entertainment life at night.

Of course, this comes at an additional cost.

Wu Xie and Tao Tu are both rich people, and they don't care about this lighting fee, today they are very happy in their hearts, and they have made up their minds to get drunk before resting.

But just then, beatings and noises came from downstairs.

The two of them were stunned, ran to the window to look, and saw four or five big men punching and kicking around Scholar Yi, beating him like a shrimp curled up in the corner, screaming in pain.

"Strange! Although Yi Shusheng is a little arrogant, he has never offended anyone. Why did a group of people suddenly come running and beat him? The clay said suspiciously, "Did you offend someone?" ”

He didn't have a relationship with this Yi scholar, so he didn't mean to stop it. And Wu Xie saw that those big men seemed to be fierce, but in fact, they were deliberately merciful when they shot, and they shouldn't really hurt Yi Shusheng, so they didn't make a move.

After a while, those big men stopped and said viciously to Yi Shusheng, who couldn't stand up: "The surname is Yi, today is to teach you a lesson!" As long as you dare to stay in Yanling County for a day, you will have to suffer in the future! ”

After saying that, these people left directly, leaving Yi Shusheng, who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, standing up with difficulty against the wall, re-collecting the firewood he had worked so hard to cut one by one, and staggering away with his back.

Wu Xie was silent, his brows furrowed.

"Wu Daxia, do you want to take care of it?" Tao Tu saw his thoughts, and asked in a low voice, "Let me inquire first, I have known a lot of people these days, and I may be able to find out a little news." ”

After speaking, he walked towards Liu Ming's table and talked with Liu Ming and his party. After talking for a while, he walked to the other tables and asked them one by one, and then shook his head and came back.

"Unexpected, unexpected! It turns out that this scholar Yi is still an official! ”

"Oh?"

"This Yi scholar's single name has a '悌' word, filial piety, and the word is long and congratulatory. Born in a scholarly family, because he ranks second in the family, he also has a common name of Yi Erlang. He was quite good at learning, he entered school at the age of eight, was admitted to Xiucai at the age of twelve, was admitted to the Gongsheng at the age of fifteen, was admitted to the Juren at the age of eighteen, and was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of twenty-two, and was known as a talented man. ”

"Huh? So why is he mixed up like this? ”

"This Yi Erlang has an upright temperament and does not tolerate officialdom. Because he was proficient in arithmetic, the court of the Great Yue Kingdom appointed him to Yanling County as the head of operation, in charge of material transportation, financial and tax distribution. It is said that this position is very oily and watery, but he is as clean as water, not to mention, and he also blocked the financial path of many people, and it didn't take long for him to be detained and lose his office...... The things that happened later were not clear, and no one knew why he would come to seek immortals. ”

"And what about the people who beat him?"

"Probably the person he offended in the first place...... He had offended almost the officials of the entire Yanling County up and down, and these people might have been sent to clean him up. ”

"In that case, then these people should just beat him to death, or at least cripple him...... But I think they're very measured. ”

“…… I don't know what to do, maybe it's to prevent the court from remembering him, and it will be troublesome to track him down in the future. After all...... The twenty-two-year-old Jinshi is not very many in the entire Dayue country. ”

Wu Xie nodded slightly when he heard this, but he was a little unimpressed in his heart.

The more capable Yi Yi is, the more those who hate him will not allow him to live. Tao Tu doesn't understand this kind of truth, but he knows the truth.

If these people who came here were really Yi Yi's enemies, then Yi Yi would definitely not be dead or crippled at this moment, and it was absolutely impossible for him to stand up after being beaten and walk away on his own legs.

However, Wu Xie did not intend to stop him, in his opinion, those big men were not so much beating Yi Yi as trying to force him to leave Yanling County.

For this upright and arrogant Yi Erlang, leaving Yanling County, which is full of enemies, is indeed the best choice in front of him.

Wu Xie even bet that if there was really an enemy to harm Yi Yi, these big men would come forward to protect him!

…… As the days passed, many of the immortal seekers who had found nothing had already left in discouragement, and most of the remaining people had become irritable, and the atmosphere in the town was getting worse and worse, and people would start fighting almost every day.

If it weren't for Wu Jie, who couldn't stand it, who came out decisively, cleaned up several particularly vicious guys in a row, and patrolled every day to maintain law and order, probably the situation would have deteriorated to the point of being out of control.

But even with him patrolling the town, and even as he kept stopping the more intense clashes, the situation continued to deteriorate.

No matter how powerful the martial arts are, they can only stop hystericals from sabotaging, but they can't erase the disappointment in people's hearts.

Wu Xie walked slowly through the town, and with a cold gaze, he quickly separated several immortal seekers who were in a mess, frowning.

If this continues, Qingniu Town will simply be a miasma!

But...... He had a big doubt in his heart, which he had never been able to solve.

If the immortal seekers in Qingniu Town have always been like this, then why was the atmosphere in this town so peaceful and peaceful when they came?

In the past few months, he has witnessed more and more immortal seekers, people's mentality getting worse and worse, and he has witnessed Qingniu Town gradually become noisy and chaotic from a remote and quiet town.

He really couldn't think of what he had to do to restore the peace of the town, which had been so bad that the atmosphere had been destroyed, that it had been restored to its former tranquility.

He once asked Li Xiaoyao, the second shopkeeper, and Li Xiaoyao's answer was ridiculous: "In the past, there were not so many immortal seekers in the town, so one or two came occasionally, and they left without asking for immortals." ”

"I don't believe that!" Du Ruo shouted, "Nonsense has to be a little shadow, okay!" If he wants to say that he is a monster, the immortal seekers who came before have all been swallowed by him, and it is still like a human saying! ”

Wu Xie wanted to complain "I don't think he was a foodie", but unfortunately now is not the right time to complain.

In fact, he is far from the only immortal seeker who is puzzled by this, Tao Tu, Xie Minghuan, Liu Ming...... It is even said that even Wei Teng, who has eyes on the top of his head, once inquired about this.

There are no fools among immortal seekers, unless they are withdrawn like Yi Yi or wooden like the ancient abyss, almost every immortal seeker feels that something is wrong. So many of them who were timid or cautious quietly left, and only those who were more courageous or particularly stubborn remained.

Clay definitely does not belong to the ranks of the bold, even if he has Immortal Yuan in hand, he is still very disturbed by this strange and irritable atmosphere, begging Li Xiaoyao to help him move the room next to Wu Jie, and more than once ask Wu Xie to pull himself when he is in danger.

Wu Xie is not nervous, as the so-called "art master is bold", with his ability, unless the immortal shoots to kill him, otherwise even if the grandmaster of the innate martial arts kills him, he is confident that he can run away - maybe he can also run with the clay.

Not to mention...... There are at least five or six immortals in this Qingniu Town, even if the sky falls, there are these tall men on top, where is there any need to worry!

Before you know it, it's March. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and all kinds of poisonous insects are also increasing, and every day or two people will be bitten, and some will even die. To make matters worse, these poisonous insects are not only found in the wild, but also indoors - Tao Tu found a red centipede thicker than his thumb in his house, which scared him out of his mind.

Faced with the danger that was close at hand, many of the remaining immortal cultivators retreated. By the beginning of April, there were less than twenty immortal seekers left in Qingniu Town.

The only consolation is that thanks to the blessings of these poisonous insects, the remaining immortal seekers finally stopped arguing with each other, and Wu Xie finally didn't have to patrol the town all day and could do his own thing—maybe the rest of these were all lucky people who had already obtained the immortal fate, right?

Wu Xie hadn't considered the problem of poisonous insects, on the one hand, his body that had been refined by medicine had a very strong ability to resist poison, and ordinary poisonous insects couldn't hurt him at all, and most of the poisonous insects that could hurt him had already been captured by the immortals; On the other hand, he doesn't have time to care about such trivial things as poisonous insects, because he is very busy.

In addition to patrolling, he is also trial-building a microscope.
