He returned to the post station, sat up, and began to concentrate on cultivation.

The night passed peacefully, and nothing happened.

On the second day, after breakfast, we set off.

The rest of the journey took about three days, but half a day later, they passed through a village and were stopped by a villager.

I saw the villagers kneeling in front of everyone and praying, "Please, cultivators, do well and save our village!" Please! ”

The villagers kowtowed heavily as they spoke, and blood came out of their foreheads.

The chief elder was at the front, and without speaking, pulled the horse aside, showing that he had nothing to do with himself.

Therefore, among the disciples, the most powerful voice should have been Li Dao, who was a personal disciple, but because of his young qualifications, he still has the most weight in Luomu dialect.

I saw him frown slightly and said, "Since you dare to stop us cultivators from doing things, where did you have the courage to do it!" ”

Mo Xixi on the side sneered: "First of all, whether people have the courage or not, they don't even understand the situation and play prestige here, don't you see that people are about to kowtow to death?" ”

The relationship between the two is obviously not compatible, I don't know if there have been any conflicts in private, Mo Xixi, as the head disciple, also has the right to speak in this situation.

Although she is not a person who cares about the lives of worldly people, as long as she can make Luo Mu unhappy, then her purpose has been achieved.

After she finished speaking, Luo Mu was obviously a little angry, and said, "Then you care about these people so much, just go and help?" What are you talking to me about here? ”

When the two of them quarreled sentence by sentence, seeing that the villagers had happily knocked themselves to death, Qi Mingchen glanced at the indifferent people around him, sighed secretly, stepped forward, and asked, "What happened in the village?" ”

When the villagers heard someone asking, they immediately stopped their movements, raised their heads slightly, and their eyes burst with strong hope, and the blood was like a forked stream through the bridge of the nose and gathered on the chin, dripping into the ground.

"The village...... The village was poisoned, no one cared about us, this poison had never been seen before, and the doctor who was finally invited also said that there was no cure, and only noble cultivators and adults could have the means to treat it, my wife and children, my wife and children were poisoned, and only a few of them could barely hold on! ”

"Worldly poisoning is controlled by secular administrators, and only when it involves sects and cultivators can we take action, do you know what a serious violation of the regulations you have violated by stopping us so rashly?"

Li Ming, who has always looked low-key, spoke, with a sense of arrogance on his body, "Hurry up, don't delay our journey!" ”

Then he glanced at Qi Mingchen again, and said slowly: "Senior Brother Qi, the senior brothers here have not spoken, how can you have the right to take the idea, as an outer disciple, do you still have the respect and humility of the elders and the young in your heart?" ”

This energy reminded Qi Mingchen of the way this person bullied him when he was a child, exactly the same arrogance, exactly the same tone, this guy has not changed for so many years!

Qi Mingchen opened his mouth and just wanted to say something, Luo Mu spoke, "Since this villager dares to do this, maybe there is some inside story, it doesn't hurt to ask more, if you really say that the elders are inferior and inferior, the one who should take the most idea should be the elder." ”

After speaking, he looked at the elder who was yawning to the side, and looked like he had nothing to do with himself.

Facing everyone's eyes, the elder said slowly: "Don't look at me, I am only responsible for keeping you from dying on the road, and other things have nothing to do with me." ”

After saying that, he closed his mouth.

"Since the elder is not ready to participate, according to my qualifications, perhaps I am the most qualified to make an idea, I think this villager asks us to at least understand the situation clearly, if it is really not something that can be solved by the world, then it is also within the scope of our duty to deal with it."

Luo Mu reversed his previous normal state of impatience with the villagers, and became patient, completely lacking the appearance of scolding the villagers before.

This change also changed after Qi Mingchen expressed his attitude.

Putting all this into his eyes, Qi Mingchen didn't speak again, silently observing the village not far away, and Li Dao's obviously wrong look on the side.

He felt that maybe this village had something to do with the Meteor Sect, and it could be that the Meteor Sect was deliberately trying to lure them over, but the ambush location didn't look like it was here.

At this time, Li Dao adjusted his mood and said, "I don't recommend wasting time here, we have more important things to do, if we delay the trip to the Sword Pavilion, everyone can't afford to blame it." ”

With this attitude, Qi Mingchen felt that this person did not expect them to come here.

Then the hidden secrets of the village aroused his curiosity even more.

So he asked the villagers directly: "What kind of poison did you get in this village, how did you get poisoned, what kind of symptoms, and can you find the source of the poisoning?" ”

After asking, I saw Li Dao look at him sharply, with strong anger and imperceptible panic in his eyes.

Seeing these cultivators arguing, the villagers didn't dare to intervene at all, so they could only quietly wait for their final decision to decide the final fate of the villagers.

But when someone asked a question, no matter who asked, like grasping the last straw, he quickly said: "At first, I just found Xiaoya's body by the river, Xiaoya is a child from our village, she has been missing for a month, only more than eight years old, and when she comes back, her whole body is rotten, and her body is full of stench holes, if you can't barely recognize the human appearance from your face, you can't tell that it is the previous Xiaoya." ”

"Alright, we're too lazy to listen to what story you're telling here, I suggest you leave quickly!" Li Dao proposed, then looked at Qi Mingchen again, and said coldly: "If anyone is interested in this matter, it is better to stay and investigate by yourself, and don't delay everyone's trip." ”

Qi Mingchen ignored it and said to the villagers, "Go on." ”

"You!" Seeing that his words were ignored, Li Dao was furious, glaring and pointing at him.

Seeing that the words were interrupted, the villagers were very flustered, and at this moment they could finally continue, their mouths said quickly, "Later, we buried Xiaoya in the back mountain, but I didn't expect that later in the village, holes began to appear in everyone's body, and the smell was incredible, and then gradually the old man couldn't hold on to death, and we found that Xiaoya's body was poisonous......"

"Are there any features on that little girl's corpse?"

The villager shook his head, "I haven't touched the corpse, but I've heard that Xiaoya is wearing the clothes of a cultivator, which is different from yours, but at a glance, you can see that it is a powerful sect, and it is almost as powerful as the sect of adults!" ”

Qi Mingchen finally discovered the problem and asked, "Can you describe the style of the clothes?" ”

"The style of the garment is purple......"

"Okay, what nonsense is there here, how can an ordinary villager girl pass on the clothes of a disciple of the sect, obviously this untouchable person made up nonsense in order to ask us for help!"

Li Dao interrupted the villagers' words and said to him: "Qi Mingchen, you did have the protection of the second master and uncle before, you were arrogant and lawless, and now you are a little outer disciple, and you have no respect here, even if I punish you on the spot, you can take advantage of it!" ”

Qi Mingchen smiled faintly, he could basically confirm that the villager named Xiaoya was wearing the disciple uniform of the Meteor Sect.

The disciple uniform of the Canglong Sect is cyan blue, and the disciple uniform of the Meteor Sect is dark purple, the difference is obvious, but the disciple uniform of the third-class sect is limited by rules, because it is also within the scope of the Sword Pavilion, and there is still a certain similarity in clothing.

In this way, the problem is not small.

Why are the Meteor Sect poisoning here? Why is Xiaoya wearing a Meteor Sect disciple uniform? The village clearly hides a huge secret.

It's just a pity that he really can't understand the current situation in depth, everyone is in a hurry to go to the destination, and the time is still relatively tight.

Counting the time spent in the ambush, it's not enough to investigate the village.

But getting this layer of information is enough, and the rest doesn't need him to investigate in person, and there is a perverted helper waiting for him.

Thinking of this, he said, "I just asked a few questions, and the senior brother was so angry, but did the senior brother commit any heinous sin?" ”

Li Dao was disgusted by this innocent look, and pointed at him and said, "Don't pretend to me here!" You're wasting everyone's time here, and you're not going to let me say that? Do you still dare to talk back! ”

"Senior brother, I think people are pitiful, ask a few questions, as long as it is not poisoned by you personally, we will not be in a hurry to this extent, we still have plenty of time, not to the extent of non-stop rushing."

"What do you mean! Do you think I'm poisoning? Li Dao's voice became louder because of his weak heart, and he even used spiritual power, so loud that the villagers covered their ears in pain.

"Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Qi is also kind, don't be aggressive, from this villager's oral statement, this poison does sound strange, but we don't have time to investigate, and then we can let the senior brothers of the sect investigate, there is no need to be so angry."

In the end, it was Luo Mu who played a round, and finally said: "At present, for us, the Sword Pavilion is the most important thing, if everyone kneels in front of us and asks for help, we will all help, then don't go to any cultivation, stay in the world and go around helping people." ”

After speaking, he looked at Qi Mingchen and asked, "What does Senior Brother Qi think?" ”

He was a little surprised, Luo Mu asked his attention at this time, obviously showing his importance in Luo Mu's heart in public, and it could also avoid Li Dao and Li Ming being belittled and humiliated at will just now.

Unexpectedly, he slapped Luo Mu and mercilessly refused this person's invitation, but not only did he not hate him, but also helped him everywhere.

Romu's personality is indeed different from others.

"Just deal with it according to Senior Brother Luo's method." Qi Mingchen nodded, retreated to the back of the group, and did not object.

When the villagers saw that everyone was about to leave, they cried in despair, but they did not dare to stop them, so they could only kneel on the ground, shake their bodies, and whimper.

At that moment, he felt a few black objects rolling down beside him.

Grab a few and look up.

The back of a hanging wine gourd, pulling out a long reflection in the sun, fell on him.
