As if to confirm, Xu Chenglin looked at Chen Luoxue very solemnly.

"You say the monk is responsible for this sudden heavy rain?"

Chen Luoxue didn't reply, but nodded heavily.

Yuanhai City is not far from the sea, and it can be said that there is no shortage of rain every year. But it is very strange that the cultivators cast spells and rained frequently. To put it mildly, Yuanhai City is not short of rain, and the people who do this kind of thing are either stupid or have other plans.

What other people's plans are, he Xu Chenglin doesn't care at all, or he doesn't care about things that don't have much to do with him. But at this juncture, Xu Chenglin always felt that he should be in charge. For no other reason, this thing is simply too coincidental. If there is nothing to do with the sea engulfing the land, and on the ground there is no shortage of rain, it is a coincidence.

There are many coincidences in the world, but too much of a coincidence is deliberate. Xu Chenglin's mind turned, and he quickly connected the two things. He looked at Chen Luoxue and said softly.

"I don't think it's easy, and it looks like we need to add another thing to investigate. ”

After Xu Chenglin finished saying this, Chen Luoxue shook his head slightly. Just as Xu Chenglin wondered why the other party objected, Chen Luoxue smiled lightly and spoke.

"I think there may be a connection between the two things we need to investigate, and if you guess more boldly, maybe they are the same thing. ”

Hearing this, Xu Chenglin immediately became curious. He intuitively felt that Chen Luoxue must have made other discoveries, but she didn't have time to say it just now.

Sure enough, before Xu Chenglin had time to ask, Chen Luoxue explained to him seriously.

"I said that this rain was done by a practitioner, but in fact I found that there was a very subtle spiritual power in this rain. This spiritual power is very subtle, and it should have an unknown effect on mortals. But one of the side effects of this spiritual power is very vicious. Anyone who has been infected by this spiritual power for a long time will have a dependence on this spiritual power. In other words, it's addictive. ”

"There's a faint spiritual power in the rain, and it's addictive? Why don't I feel it?"

As soon as Chen Luoxue's words were finished, Xu Chenglin directly asked three times in a row.

If this is asked by someone else, Chen Luoxue will most likely think that the other party does not trust him. But Xu Chenglin said this, and Chen Luoxue knew that he wouldn't mean it this way, but just wanted to understand things more clearly.

After thinking for a while, Chen Luoxue spoke again.

"The faint spiritual power in the rain is very secretive, and it is extremely difficult to discover the spiritual power in the rain unless you are a cultivator who is proficient in medical skills and has a strong sense of divine sense. You don't feel it because you're not well-versed in medicine. I was able to find out that I felt it because I accidentally drank some rain while I was laughing. ”

Hearing that Chen Luoxue found out because he accidentally drank rainwater, Xu Chenglin couldn't help but smile. After smiling, he asked again.

"You guess that there is a certain connection between the things we investigated, I don't know if there is any basis?"

I already knew that Xu Chenglin would ask this question, and Chen Luoxue smiled and said his basis.

"We are here to investigate the plague around Yuanhai City, there are plagues around Yuanhai City, but this big Yuanhai City is safe and sound, which shows that there must be something unusual about Yuanhai City. If this anomaly was too obvious, it is estimated that Jiuhua Academy would have figured it out a long time ago, and there was no need for the two of us to come. This unusualness must have been overlooked. And what we're finding today doesn't meet the above conditions?"

The basis for this statement is not too sufficient, and it is always very reasonable. Xu Chenglin thought about it slightly, and nodded slightly. But after he thought about it, he was shocked again. If Chen Luoxue's guess is true, then their discovery is too big.

At the first time he was shocked, Xu Chenglin just wanted to tell Jiuhua Academy about this first. However, this idea was only fleeting, Xu Chenglin shook his head and gave up directly. Not to mention that they have insufficient evidence, even if they have sufficient evidence, it is not suitable to inform Jiuhua Academy now. The appearance of the two moles made Xu Chenglin feel like a frightened bird.

It's not that he doesn't trust Jiuhua Academy, but he feels that this time is inappropriate. There is such a thing as a mole, Xu Chenglin dares to believe that it is definitely not just those two. If they tell Jiuhua Academy about this, and one accidentally learns about it by a mole at a certain point, then nothing will be found out at that time.

In a way, Xu Chenglin also didn't want to rely too much on Jiuhua Academy. He had a kind of directness, Jiuhua Academy deliberately entrusted the task of Yuan Haicheng to himself. There is a great possibility that he wants to personally find out and solve the affairs of the year.

The problem of the plague around Yuanhai City, the strange rain in the city, and what happened back then, Xu Chenglin thought about three things in his heart, and felt a little messy in his mind for a while. Chen Luoxue was thinking about the strange spiritual power in the rain, but she didn't find the problem of the people around her, she subconsciously asked Xu Chenglin.

"Where do we go next?"

These words directly stopped Xu Chenglin, and he also wanted to know where to start. You said that you should start with the plague in the outer city, but it is not appropriate for those two traitors to be left alone, and the problem of spiritual power in the rain in the city cannot be left alone, and the only thing that can be put aside for the time being is the investigation of the events of the year.

Rubbing his eyebrows lightly with his fingers, Xu Chenglin didn't know how to reply for a while.

couldn't hear Xu Chenglin's answer for a long time, and Chen Luoxue looked at him unconsciously. At this glance, she suddenly felt a little funny. I saw that Xu Chenglin was worried at this time, and his two fingers were still tapping lightly on his eyebrows.

"Why are you so sad?"

Chen Luoxue didn't give the other party any face, and asked Xu Chenglin with a smile.

"Hey, I'm kind of thinking about a few of them, but there are still a lot of people. If everyone was there, we could have looked into these things separately. But now, the two of us can only look into one side. ”

As he spoke, Xu Chenglin shrugged helplessly.

As soon as Xu Chenglin's words were finished, Chen Luoxue just smiled and pushed him.

"Haha! You're totally dependent. Until everyone gets together, it's not up to you to do everything. I know that you don't have any friends in your own sect. Your friends say you used to be a lone ranger, and I remember that. ”

Chen Luoxue is right, Xu Chenglin was basically a lone ranger before. Even after he explored the Tianhe Martial Mansion, he was a lone ranger for a long time. To put it bluntly, Xu Chenglin spent much less time with his companions than he spent as a lone ranger.

With a chuckle, Xu Chenglin nodded slightly and said.

"Maybe you're right, it's a kind of dependency. In fact, the two of us can deal with the things we encounter now, but it is just a little difficult. But then again, having tasted the benefits of being crowded, who would go it alone. ”

Chen Luoxue smiled when she heard this, and only after laughing did she reply softly.

"Actually, it's not as complicated as you think. The things you have in mind are nothing more than four things. What happened in Yuanhai City back then, in fact, you can let it go. As for the remaining three things, it doesn't matter which one you investigate first. The three things are independent of each other, and they are also related to each other, and they all happen around Yuanhai City. In fact, when we investigate one thing, the rest of the things can also be pushed forward together. What happened in Yuan Haicheng back then, maybe some clues can be found in the process. ”

Chen Luoxue's words suddenly made Xu Chenglin pause. But seeing that he showed a sudden realization, he then patted the back of his head in amusement.

"Look at it, look at it! What I mean, it's that there is strength in numbers. The so-called one person counts short, two people count long. Don't you remind me that I'm still on the tip of a bull's horn? ”

Xu Chenglin smiled and gave Chen Luoxue a thumbs up as he spoke.

Such an obvious sycophant was only exchanged for Chen Luoxue's white eyes. He snorted softly before speaking again.

"Alright, let's stop making a fuss! Hurry up and decide, let's start over there. ”

Speaking of business, Xu Chenglin also put away his hippie smile. He glanced outside at the rain and began to make a decision. After weighing the size and impact of the matter, Xu Chenglin finally made a decision.

"Let's start with the plague first, after all, the plague kills, and other things can be delayed. ”

Xu Chenglin's idea coincided with Chen Luoxue, and she nodded and agreed.

After the rain, the sky was clear, but it was already late in the evening, and it was no longer suitable for going out. Chen Luoxue was about to discuss with Xu Chenglin what to do next, when she heard a gentle knock on the door of the private room. The two glanced at each other, Xu Chenglin immediately removed the soundproofing prohibition, and asked outside.

The voice of the restaurant guy came from outside, and he had come to ask if the two of them needed some food. Knowing the other party's intention, Xu Chenglin reacted. It turned out that before they knew it, they had been in the private room for more than an hour.

"It's not too early, it's time to order food. ”

Xu Chenglin muttered and looked at Chen Luoxue to try to ask for her opinion.

Chen Luoxue was a little speechless, she didn't expect Xu Chenglin to ask her own opinion on this matter. But it's reasonable to think about it, Xu Chenglin doesn't care what he does, now it's two people, of course, you have to ask what others think.

In terms of appetite, Chen Luoxue is not too picky. After she instructed the guy to serve some signature dishes, the guy left.

The soundproofing ban was arranged again, and the two began to discuss the next action. Only this time it didn't take long for the two of them to stop again. There was a knock on the door of the private room again, and the two didn't even need to ask, they knew that it was the guy from the restaurant. In other words, it was they who ordered the food.

Open the door and let the guy in, and the two of them waited until the cloth was finished before they started to move the chopsticks. This time, until the guy left, the two didn't talk again. It's the time to eat, and it's not appropriate to talk about anything else.
