In the dead of night, everything is silent.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day is set on fire.

One sits on the roof, and the other stands in the ruins, facing each other.

Xue Yanjing read softly: "Returning to the One Demon Venerable......

Listening to the little junior sister's tone, Leng Yushu explained: "I also listened to the analysis of the sect elders, after all, those more special ghost things have only emerged in the past few decades. When you think about it, there is indeed only one variable. ”

Xue Yan was shocked and didn't understand: "If the ghost clan wants to invade the mortal realm, wouldn't it be good to possess it directly, why do you want to do so many tricks?" ”

"Not all ghosts can possess the body," Leng Yushu shook his head, "It is said that only the higher-level ones can do it." ”

"I see," Xue Yan suddenly realized, "I understand the waste utilization of the ghost clan." ”

"So...... Actually, it's not wrong. Leng Yushu rarely showed a smile.

Xue Yan sat on the eaves and curled up one leg to look at her: "Senior sister, do you really cultivate the Ruthless Dao?" ”

"Surprised?" Leng Yushu asked rhetorically, "What do you think is ruthless?" ”

"Break off seven emotions and six desires?" Xue Yan guessed in a panic.

"As long as it is a human being, how can you completely cut off the seven emotions and six desires?" Leng Yushu didn't explain, "You'll understand when you grow up." ”

Xue Yan shook his legs in shock, feeling that it was very novel to be treated as a child, so he smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

Leng Yushu burned an evil talisman on the ruins again, lowered his eyes to look at the fireworks, and sighed casually: "The ghost clan has developed to the point where it is now, but the cultivators are still using the spirit talisman from a thousand years ago, and it seems that it is difficult to work on more and more ghost things. ”

Xue Yan opened his mouth in shock, he wanted to say that he would let him try to improve the spirit rune, but after thinking about it, this new type of ghost thing was created by the demon clan exiled by Guiyi Demon Venerable, and the new type of spirit rune that restrained them came from her hand, wouldn't it be a money to make money at both ends? She couldn't help but laugh, and planned to do more missions in the future to see if she could reach more ghosts, and then explore ways to deal with them.

"After the ghost clan is reused, it must be even more difficult to deal with, the high-ranking group will take the lead and face off against the monks," Xue Yan analyzed, "and the originally useless batch can be sent out to silently encroach on mortals." ”

The mortal world is the foundation of the cultivation realm, and if mortals are swallowed up, the cultivation realm will become a castle in the air, floating and lonely, and in danger.

"Well, it's a bit troublesome," Leng Yushu replied, "These bronze mirror ghosts are obviously not high-level, and my probe charm is biased and can't detect them." ”

"Thinking that this kind of ghost thing has always been a waste batch before, and it has never left the ghost snake at all," Xue Yan raised his eyebrows, "So when Fu Xiu created the spirit rune, he didn't consider that it still needed to be effective." ”

"There is some truth," Leng Yushu stood alone in the night, her figure became colder and colder, she raised her eyes and looked at Xue Yanshu, "Do you want to follow you for the next mission?" ”

"Yes!"

"Actually, you can almost take charge of it alone," Leng Yushu nodded, "but for the sake of safety, it's better to come with me a few more times." ”

Xue Yan was shocked and well-behaved.

Leng Yushu sent her away: "You go back and hand in the task first, by the way, divide the spirit stones you received, and then I will go around a few surrounding towns to see if there is a similar copper mirror shop." ”

Xue Yan raised his hand in surprise and threw out a map of Zhongzhou,

Circle more than a dozen surrounding towns on it: "One person and half are fine, I am in charge of this side, and my senior sister is in charge of the other half, how about it?" ”

"Yes," Leng Yushu didn't say politely to her, "If you go back early, you can pick out the next task by the way." ”

Seeing that the senior sister handed over such a heavy task to herself, Xue Yan was shocked that the imperial sword was in the air, and waved his hand at her with a smile: "It will definitely live up to the expectations of the senior sister." ”

“……”

Xue Yan swept a few towns, and did not find any evil things, only caught a little deer demon who had just transformed into a small deer, it broke into the town by mistake, and was still very ignorant, and was released back to the mountains and forests by her collar.

After returning to Xuantian Sect, the first thing Xue Yan was shocked was to hold the bronze mirror that did not move, and went to consult the elders of the sect, all the elders were polite to her, and some were cold, but without exception, they did their best to help explore the inside of the bronze mirror, and finally shook their heads regretfully, telling her that she was no longer saved.

Even though it was not unexpected, Xue Yan still sighed in his heart, looked at the bronze mirror in his hand, and secretly wondered if he should bury it in front of the tomb of the murdered girl when he passed by Wuyin Town next time.

Xue Yan shook his head in shock, went to the Hidden Dragon Hall in the sect to hand in the task, and brought a bag of spirit stones from the deacon disciple, and asked by the way: "Dare to ask Senior Brother, is there a punishment for killing mortals while on a mission?" ”

The deacon disciple was so busy that he didn't even raise his head and said, "Yes." ”

"That'...... What if the other party took the initiative to ask me to kill him? ”

The deacon's disciple finally raised his head with a blank face: "Huh? ”

“…… It's okay. ”

Xue Yan was shocked to inquire that the fifth senior sister had not returned yet, and asked where to go to get the new task.

The deacon disciple pointed her in the direction, and Xue Yan was shocked to come to the huge bounty list, looking at the dense letter paper pasted on it, and couldn't help but gasp.

"First time?" The monk who was choosing a task on the side smiled at her kindly, and pointed, "Actually, most of the people here are suspicious of ghosts, I occasionally ran a few times, the last time I met a common person to report that there was a demon in the local area, we squatted for a few days, and found that it was the neighbor who stole his chicken at night, and finally I helped him twist the neighbor to the official mansion, which can be regarded as helpful." Another time someone reported that his baby was crying, afraid that it was not possessed by some ghost, but I went to see, the child is an ordinary child, he will not take care of it at all, I Edgeworth used to help people take care of the child for a few hours, it was really boring halfway, and by the way, I helped his house clean the yard and feed his dog...... Anyway, you have to sift through it. ”

"Thank you." Xue Yan smiled in surprise and thanked this enthusiastic fellow talker, and flew up, this list was so big that it even required Edgeworth to float in the air to see the top letters.

She read them one by one from the beginning, and most of the letters here were sent by the people of Zhongzhou, and some of them were from the people

Asked to go down the mountain, recorded by the Xuantian disciples. The deacon's disciples will first sift through the letters, paste them in the center of the list, and if they are urgent, they will also embed a layer of spiritual light on the letter paper to make it shine brightly and eye-catching.

However, this kind of task is mostly taken by people, and Xue Yan was shocked to see that the deacon's disciple had just pasted a piece of shiny letter paper, and it was hurriedly removed by a monk. As soon as she asked, she knew that although this kind of task was urgent, the reward would be more generous.

She was curious, but she didn't grab it, only the sword flew at the edge of the list

Carefully selected, and finally raised his hand to remove a piece of stationery. This method is a bit like a bounty notice in the mortal world, where removing the letter paper means taking on the task.

After reporting to the deacon disciples, Xue Yan went straight back to Siming Peak to visit the sixth senior brother, and by the way, he gave him a share of the spirit stones obtained from this mission, Fang Yuan looked at the little junior sister with a look of approval: "Yes, the first mission was completed so quickly." ”

Xue Yan showed off to him in surprise: "Fifth Senior Sister also asked me to choose the next task." ”

"Yo, I've never had this kind of treatment, come, let Senior Brother see what you picked," Fang Yuan took the letter with a smile, looked at it fixedly, and said strangely, "The scholar took his wife and children back to the county to worship his ancestors, and found that there were many more fat people in his hometown Shuiyun County?" Did our fat man recruit him and provoke him? ”

"The letter also said that Shuiyun County is not very rich, and the people there work in the fields every day, and five years ago, when he last went back to worship his ancestors, he had not seen so many plump people," Xue Yan nodded a certain line in the letter, "What attracted me was here, the scholar said that those people were not so much fat as to describe them, but like the original people with a new layer of body on the outside." ”

Fang Yuan also put away his joking attitude, read the letter carefully, and nodded: "It does seem to be very problematic, you chose the right one, and you will go with the fifth senior sister this time?" ”

"Well," Xue Yan held his face in shock, "It seems that Fifth Senior Sister really likes me." ”

Fang Yuan smiled: "You." ”

"By the way, is the third senior sister back?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly: "No, I just received a message from her yesterday, Elder Jiang and the Third Senior Sister have already left the Immortal Sword Sect and are about to go to Zixiao Palace. ”

Xue Yan was surprised and curious: "What are the two of them going to do?" ”

"Go borrow something," Fang Yuan shook his head, "You don't have to worry about this, go and rest, you must be tired." ”

Xue Yan was shocked, thinking that he was going to leave Xuantian Sect again in the near future, so he simply left all the spirit stone shares that he planned to give to Yan Hui and several senior brothers and sisters who were in retreat and traveling, and asked him to help transfer them.

When she finally returned to the small courtyard on the mountainside of Siming Peak, Xue Yan went to feed the spirit donkey, and combed its hair, she went to the Ten Thousand Swords Secret Realm for three months, and finally came back and left with Leng Yushu immediately, the donkey was depressed, and he didn't want to deal with the negative person in front of him.

Xue Yan was shocked to hug its head, but the donkey dodged, reluctantly, seeing that she came forward again, stomped her hooves hard, and a big parrot with brilliant fur flew over when she heard the sound, stood on the treetop and shouted: "Negative person, negative person!" ”

"......" Xue Yan looked at the spirit donkey hesitantly, "When I was away, you also raised a pet for yourself?" ”

The donkey was visibly proud, and raised his head and barked, "Ahh

It's a pity that Xue Yanjing couldn't understand what it meant, coaxed it along the hair, and then poked the little snake that slept in the yard, and went to Wuyin Town This time she left the sand python to the spirit donkey to take care of, and left enough rations, thinking of the previous Song Ming incident, and specially set up a protective barrier. At this time, the little snake was oily and slippery, and it looked round again, so it must have been raised well. When I saw her at this time, I didn't go to cross her wrists, but lazily wrapped my whole body around the donkey's ears.

Occasionally, a flying insect falls on the back of a donkey, it can't shake its own tail, and the little snake swims over and swallows the flying insect with a whin, a donkey and a snake cooperate very tacitly, and it seems to have formed a deep friendship in just a few days.

Xue Yanjing went to inspect the garlic seedlings she had raised on the windowsill again, and they were actually growing well, relying on the spirit donkey to water her every day with a kettle, which was almost a little more lush than when she raised it herself.

Xue Yan was shocked and guilty, ran to the Lingzhi Hall again, and bought a big bag of the spirit donkey's favorite shallots to give to it, and the donkey reluctantly forgave her.

After a few days of running, she was indeed a little tired, and the moment she relaxed and collapsed into the soft bed, she suddenly realized that she had actually made this place her home.

A dreamless night.

Early the next morning, when Xue Yan got up, she saw the spirit donkey flying freely in the sky through the window with a small snake, she stretched her waist and lit a communication charm to confirm that Leng Yushu had not returned, packed her bookcase, and planned to go to class first.

The familiar female cultivator saw her coming, and excitedly fed her an almond cheese tofu bun: "I heard that you followed Senior Sister Leng on a mission?" That's amazing! I've never been there, can you tell me about it? ”

Xue Yan took the snack, nodded, hid the name of the person in the story, and told her how the bronze mirror harmed people.

They were gathered here, and there were other people on the side who looked at them curiously, those fellow disciples who had not participated in the secret realm sword search were probably puzzled, why they went out this time, these people's attitude towards Xue Yanjing changed, but it made the rest of them have an illusion of being excluded.

Several people glanced at each other, and they all thought of Song Ming, who was the most unaccustomed to Xue Yan's surprise at the beginning, so he wouldn't even turn against him, right?

It was a coincidence, and the next moment, Song Ming, who was thinking about them, stepped in from the door, saw Xue Yan in surprise, and pointed at her with his hand: "Okay, you!" ”

Here it comes! A few people held their breath and waited to see the excitement.

"Xue Yan is shocked, wow, you are so treacherous," Song Ming came over with a loud shout, "You chose to follow Senior Sister Leng to do the task at this time, just to avoid the small test of the past few days, right?" ”

"What kind of quiz?" This is indeed a coincidence, Xue Yanjing didn't even know that there was such a thing, "How did you do in the exam?" ”

"It's okay," Song Ming glanced at her resentfully, "except for the first question, everything else is wrong." ”

"......" he said too tactfully, and Xue Yan paused before reacting, "Then aren't you all wrong?" ”！
