Chapter Forty-Eight: A New Mission
Rumble!
At this moment, there was a burst of thunder.
"Well, what happened to me? Yu Chang suddenly moved, and his expression suddenly changed from a wax-like solidification to a flexible and natural in an instant.
"Me too, I thought of one thing just now, and I seemed to be distracted in a trance. Shu Luoyi on the side also frowned.
Lin Xin's eyes slowly returned to normal, remembering that he had a small distraction just now, it stands to reason that as masters of the inner family, they should not be so seriously distracted.
He suddenly became vigilant, and glanced at the resentment talisman, which was already completely burning.
"I'm afraid there's some trouble here!" he stood up and said in a deep voice.
Yu Chang and Shu Luoyi also reacted at this time, neither of them was a fool, they were not new disciples, and they were able to stay in the Songlin Sword Sect for so long, so they naturally experienced a lot of tasks.
Shu Luoyi took out one of his high-grade resentment talismans, and the white talisman paper was burning slowly, very slowly.
"There was real trouble. ”
"Since we have met us, why don't you go in and have a look?" Shu Luoyi stood up and said solemnly. "The high-level resentment charm burns slowly, it shouldn't be a very strong resentment, maybe it's just gathered for a short time, we should be able to handle it. ”
"Judging from the inexplicable distractions of the three of us just now, there should still be a certain amount of paralyzing toxicity. Yu Chang judged in a low voice.
"I'll do this. "Lin Xin came out this time because he had a lot of money, and he bought a large stack of the three most basic rune papers. Resentment charms, poison avoidance charms and Ganlin charms.
If it weren't for the fact that the higher-grade runes were not sold on the market, he estimated that he would have spent money to buy more high-grade rune paper.
These runes alone cost him more than 2,000 jade dollars, hundreds of each.
Taking out three poison-avoiding talismans, he flicked the three talisman papers vigorously, injecting a trace of internal qi.
Suddenly, the three rune papers burned at the same time, and the air around the three of them instantly cleared.
"It's really poisonous!" Lin Xinzheng said.
"This is the hinterland of my Pine Forest Sword Sect, and there are people who dare to make trouble here and generate resentful spirits. It's bold enough. Shu Luoyi said coldly.
Choking, she pulled out her long sword and walked directly towards the two-story building.
Lin Xin couldn't dissuade him, and maybe they could have a way to defend against the resentment, but they couldn't deal with the resentment at all.
He and Yu Chang got up together and hurriedly chased after Shu Luoyi.
With a bang, Shu Luoyi kicked open the door directly and walked in.
There was nothing in the house, only a few dusty tables and chairs, and the floor was covered with dense dust footprints, as if someone had already made a trip before they entered.
Shu Luoyi didn't know when there was an extra green dagger in her hand, as if it was made of jade, she held the dagger in her hand and didn't seem to be afraid of the resentful spirit at all, she glanced at it directly, and strode upstairs.
Lin Xin and Yu Chang followed in, and before they could shout to stop her, they saw her rushing directly to the second floor.
Strangely, the three of them walked around the two-storey building, but they didn't find the slightest.
"There's no resentment here again"
Lin Novice took out a resentment talisman again, but it didn't burn again at this time.
"It should be a little resentment left here, but after we purified it a few times with the resentment charm, it is almost gone. Shu Luoyi frowned.
"Then what now?" Lin Xin asked when he saw that she seemed to be very experienced.
"After the task is completed, we will tell the sect, maybe the master of the Qi refining period can find some clues. ”
Lin Xin was just about to continue questioning, when he suddenly heard a small voice from outside the house.
He hurried to the nearest window and looked out.
This hope gave him goosebumps.
I saw that outside the window, in the tea shed facing the house, there were three figures in familiar clothes, talking in a whisper.
Two of them facing him were Yu Chang and Shu Luoyi, and the person with his back to him was actually his own back.
"What's going on!?" What the hell is going on with the people outside??
Lin Xin's heart was cold, and he hurriedly turned his head and looked in the direction of Yu Chang and Shu Luoyi.
But I only saw that the house was empty, there was no one, and there was still the shadow of Yu Chang and Shu Luoyi.
He looked at the door suddenly, but he was surprised to see that the door had been locked from the inside, and the door that had been kicked open before was actually intact at this time.
"This!" he suddenly felt his eyes begin to bloom again.
Countless white dots appeared densely in his field of vision, and he blinked his eyes hard, and he suddenly felt his body deviate. The whole thing was plunged into darkness.
"Brother Lin, Brother Lin?" Yu Chang's voice sounded from his side.
When he opened his eyes, Lin Xin saw Yu Chang and Shu Luoyi looking at him inexplicably. And he himself was sitting on a stool in the tea shop outside the house.
The cold wind around me blew on my body, and I felt cold.
"Why did you fall asleep just now?" Yu Chang said with some amusement. "Are you too tired from the journey? We just sat down, and before we could say a word, you fell asleep. ”
Shu Luoyi also looked at him with a frown.
Lin Xin's heart was cold, and he didn't know what was going on.
When he looked down, he was holding a pair of flints in his hands, which the two of them asked him to find just now.
"No," Shu Luoyi suddenly said in a low voice. "There's something wrong here," she said, standing up.
"I don't feel right here, too. Lin Xin quickly answered. "It's better for us to leave first. ”
"Let's go. Shu Luoyi nodded, picked up his sword and walked towards the stable. "My green jade dagger glowed just now. ”
Yu Chang originally wanted to say something, but when he heard this, he suddenly closed his mouth. Quickly got up and quickly followed the two.
"But when we leave here, there is no place to hide from the rain nearby!" he said helplessly after taking a few steps.
"If you don't want to go, you can stay here alone. Shu Luoyi didn't give him face at all.
"Senior Sister"
"Don't call me junior sister!"
Lin Xin and the three of them quickly untied the horse rope, turned over on the horse, and rushed towards Peacock City against the wind and rain.
In the wind and rain, Lin Xin rode on horseback and looked back at the lonely two-storey building, as the distance got farther and farther, his eyes suddenly began to numb again, but there was no white light just now to cover his vision. The pockmarks quickly dissipated.
"There's some kind of toxin left here, or a curse, or something. I don't know what it is. Shu Luoyi rode on the horse and said in a low voice, "But the green jade dagger that my father gave me is shining, which means that there are things around me that can threaten me." So we have to go!"
Lin Xin nodded understandingly, this Shu Luoyi is richer than him, and listening to her tone along the way, it seems that he is the child of a qi practitioner in the sect.
Since she said so, there must be a reason.
I don't know why, the farther away from that small building, the more relaxed he felt in his heart.
Until Xiaolou completely disappeared from view, Lin Xin's heart was like a big stone falling, and he was completely comfortable.
"So, there should be just something left over here?" asked Yu Chang on his horse.
"Yes, we are just registered disciples, this kind of thing can't be handled at all during the Qi refining period, we just need to report to the sect. Shu Luoyi said simply. "I had the illusion just now, as if I had entered that little building?"
"Speaking of which, so am I" Yu Chang also frowned.
The two looked at Lin Xin.
Lin Xin also nodded slightly.
"I'm just like you. ”
"That's right. Shu Luoyi frowned, "I heard my father say it." Our cultivation sect is only a very weak force in this world, and we can only protect the small area around us. And the real rest of the region has a lot of unknown and undiscovered dangers and mysteries, so when you go out, you must be cautious and cautious step by step, and there can be no deviation. Now, Yin Qi ghosts and demons are trying to invade our territory all the time. ”
Lin Xin and Yu Chang both nodded.
The three of them are all temporarily teamed up, and no one knows whose strength is fine, nor who is strong and who is weak, although Shu Luoyi's strength is not necessarily stronger than the two.
But since these words were said by the Qi Practitioner, it has nothing to do with her strength, and there must be a reason for it.
Lin Xin carefully thought about the various sect disciples of the Songlin Sword Sect.
He didn't know about the official disciples of the inner gate, but the registered disciples, the acquired ones of the Sword Valley, almost all relied on talisman paper, jade pendants, or other external objects to exert their strength.
Just like the last time in the Yin Blood Bird mission, those disciples who didn't have rune paper were no different from ordinary people in the face of resentment and resentment.
Only he and a few others who possessed the rune paper and the Flame Sun rune sword could escape under the influence of the resentful spirit.
Moreover, most of these monks are the same, and they are not much different from ordinary people when they don't use internal qi to urge luck, and only after internal qi is urged to have luck, their physical fitness will have a vastly different power.
Compared with the mythical immortal monks, these monks are more like those Taoist priests on TV who can't catch ghosts without magic weapons and various props. His own strength is weak, and he can only rely on external objects to deal with supernatural phenomena such as resentful spirits and resentment.
"I don't know what the main way of dealing with the qi cultivators in the qi training period is?" Lin Xin asked.
"My father said that this world is rampant with ghosts and demons, although our four sects are trying their best to unite and resist the oppression of the Demon Sect, but the Dao is one foot higher and the demons are one foot high, and the Heavenly Dao is unfair, and my righteous path is still in a very embarrassing situation. So it's even more important to learn how to protect yourself. Shu Luoyi said with some emotion.
"Indeed, since the Tianyun Dao Sect Master Zhu Rongzi was revealed to be a secret cultivator, the first major sect of the righteous path has rapidly weakened, and it was originally inferior to the demon, but now it has declined to the point where it can only barely protect itself. Yu Chang seems to know some of these wild histories.
"If it weren't for these nearby ghosts mysteriously blocking the Demon Sect, our four sects would have been destroyed long ago. Shu Luoyi shook her head. "Even the current peace is filled in with the lives of many brothers and sisters. ”
"I don't know where I can learn more about these record events?" Lin Xin asked thoughtfully.
"There is a book room in the sect, you can go and see it if you have nothing to do, and read it casually, provided that you are willing to spend time on it, I know a little bit of the inside story because of the elders' ear mention. Shu Luoyi replied simply.
"Thanks for the reminder. Lin Xin gave up.
"You're welcome. ”
