Ling Hurui changed back into women's clothes, and the three girls walked together, and a few days later, they walked out of the continuous mountain area. During this period, Ye Linglong once asked Ling Hurui, since she was ordered to respond, why didn't she fly directly to He Tong Realm with her? To this, Ling Hu Rui replied like this: "Those cultivators in He Tong Realm don't know me, if they find out that I am a demon clan, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Besides, the answer is a secret that you shouldn't know, so it's better to walk over on a down-to-earth foot. Ye Linglong also quietly asked Ruan Jingsha about the "Gonggong Secret Fu", but unfortunately, Ruan Jingsha is only at the Five Elements level, and she is not qualified to study the secret Fu, so she doesn't know anything about the content of the book.

After getting along for a period of time, Ye Linglong found that Ruan Jingsha was actually not difficult to get along with. has been pampered since she was a child, and she is indeed used to some "eldest lady" problems, but she is not bad in nature. This time going out to walk the rivers and lakes is also a kind of training for her, those arrogant "edges", I believe it will not take long to be "smoothed" by experience.

"Look, that should be Yingyue Town!" Ruan Jingsha pointed into the distance. As soon as they walked out of the mountains, they entered a low-lying flat land, and by that time they could already see the town in the sky. Now two hours have passed, and it is almost dusk, and the town is only a few miles away.

"I've heard for a long time that Invite Yue Town is very lively, and now I can finally see it with my own eyes!" Ruan Jingsha was excited.

Ling Hurui said: "This is only separated from Qianlong Village by a mountainous area, not too far, have you never been so big?"

Ruan Jingsha pursed her lips: "As Miss Ye said before, I have never left Qianlong Village since I was a child, because my uncle strictly forbade people in the village to leave the village at will, especially a girl like me." ”

"Why is that? I don't think the owner of the Dragon Village is the kind of unreasonable and old-fashioned person?" Ye Linglong said.

"Maybe it's for safety reasons, right?" Ruan Jingsha guessed, "My uncle is indifferent to fame and fortune all his life, he is not shocked by honor and disgrace, and he is happy to live in seclusion." If it weren't for that, with his strength, I think it would be more than enough to be a prince. ”

"Indifferent to fame and fortune?" Ye Linglong thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that the owner of the Dragon Village has also been in a high position before?"

"I can't talk about 'high positions'. Ruan Jingsha replied, "I also heard my parents say that my uncle has always had no quarrel with the world, and he is completely opposite to the Maharaja. When Lord Maharaja ascended the throne, his uncle did not contribute less, but he completely gave up everything he originally had, even the many rewards that Lord Maharaja gave him, and returned to the Long family alone. Later, he only asked Lord Dajun for the broken place in Qianlong Village where birds don't. ”

Ling Hurui sighed: "Maybe it is precisely because of the style of the owner of the Dragon Village that Zhuge Dajun can always be a brother and brother with him and live in peace! Imagine that if the Dragon Zhuang Master is also a sharp and competitive person, then I am afraid that Zhuge Dajun and him would have been turned upside down." It seems that sometimes it is not a bad thing to choose to 'go it alone'. ”

"You're wrong, uncle, he's not just thinking about himself. Who do you think Qianlong Village was built for? Not for us relatives? It is said that the Long family was a famous family in the early years, and then it declined after being overwhelmed by another big family. Naturally, the days after the decline were very difficult. My uncle could have practiced alone, but in order to avoid being bullied by his relatives, he built Qianlong Village in the original 'broken place where birds don't', and moved all his relatives over, and then quickly established the prestige of Qianlong Village in this area. The people in the village thought he was great, so they all obeyed his commands. Ruan Jingsha's words were full of respect for Long Zaixing.

"So even for such a trivial matter as being rejected by me, you go to him to complain. Ling Hurui made a joke.

Ruan Jingsha's face flushed: "He is the pillar and backbone of Qianlong Village, so everyone runs to find their uncle to call the shots whenever they have something, and they are used to it." ”

"Then he doesn't have any children, how can he live alone?" Ye Linglong asked.

Ruan Jingsha sighed: "I heard from my parents, I also had a cousin before. But my aunt died early, my cousin died early, and my uncle has been alone. It was all before I was born. ”

"It turns out that the owner of the Dragon Village is also a person who has a hard life. Ling Hurui sighed melancholy.

Ye Linglong frowned slightly, and Ling Hurui said the word "also", judging from her expression and tone, maybe she also had a bleak past.

On the road ahead, two young men, one tall and one thin, walked on, carrying several big burdens. The two of them obviously came out of Invite Yue Town, and when they saw the three handsome girls, they couldn't help but take a few more looks.

The two sides met on the path, and each gave way to each other. When passing by, Ruan Jingsha paid attention to the things on the backs of the two, and when she saw a tent obviously in a bag, she chuckled and said: "I advise the two of you, the competition is over, and you will run for nothing." ”

The two men stood still and looked back at Ruan Jingsha inexplicably. The tall man asked, "Girl, are you talking to us?"

"Who else but you?"

Another man scratched his head: "What kind of martial arts competition?"

"What kind of garlic to pretend? Didn't you go to Qianlong Village to participate in Ruan Jingsha's martial arts competition?" Ruan Qinsha was a little unhappy.

"Girl, you misunderstood, we are just passing through here, and we don't know what Qianlong Village is, let alone who Ruan Jingsha is. Farewell. ”

"Stop!" Ruan Jingsha shouted, "If you didn't go to participate in the martial arts competition to recruit relatives, why did you go in the direction of Qianlong Village?"

Being asked like this, the two men were inevitably a little angry. The thin man said, "Girl, 'The road is half to the sky,' me."

If we go west, we must be going to Qianlong Village? We have a tent, what are we doing to you? What a dog is meddling with a mouse!"

Ling Hurui wanted to persuade her, but when she heard the phrase "the dog takes the mouse", she was immediately unhappy, and her body was the "mouse". She straightened her face: "Two, let's just ask a few questions, do we need to say such ugly things to sarcastic people?"

Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, Ye Linglong hurriedly blocked in the middle: "Okay, okay, a misunderstanding." Because she saw the two of them carrying tents on their backs, she mistakenly thought that you were going to participate in the competition to recruit relatives, so she kindly reminded you. ”

The tall man explained: "The two of us are businessmen, relying on picking some rare medicinal herbs in the snowy forest to sell them for a small profit. It's cold, bring a tent to keep out the cold at night. Because he was poor, he couldn't afford to buy a magic weapon for storage, so he had to carry it on his back. I wonder if the three girls are satisfied with my answer?"

"Oh, it turned out to be a medicine seller, no wonder there was a strange smell of choking on my body. Ruan Jingsha frowned and rubbed her nose.

This remark was too rude, and Ye Linglong immediately shouted: "Miss Ruan!"

The tall man gritted his teeth, turned to his companion and said, "Let's go!"

"Wait a minute!" the thin man was not happy, and said to Ruan Jingsha, "Your surname is Ruan?

"Yes and what!"

"No wonder, with your stinky temper, who is willing to marry you? Looking at your current appearance, you must not have recruited a husband, right? Haha, it's okay! If anyone is recruited by you, it will really be eight lifetimes of mold!" the thin man sneered.

"You...... Looking for a fight!" Ruan Qinsha was so angry that she raised her hand and fanned it, but Ye Linglong grabbed her wrist.

"Miss Ruan, don't make trouble!" Ye Linglong scolded.

The tall man over there also took his companion away, and said, "Alas, you too, why are you angry with a girl? Go and apologize to someone!"

"Why don't you go over and accompany you!" Ye Linglong said.

Under the mixing of the two, the thin man and Ruan Jingsha reluctantly made amends to each other.

"Two brothers, I have something to ask. Ling Hurui, who hadn't spoken for a while, said, "Now that the sun has set, why don't you stay in Invite Yue Town for the night, but instead go out of the town to hurry?"

The two men glanced at each other, and the thin man said, "We actually just arrived in Invite Moon Town not long ago. But there was a frightening rumor in town lately, and we both thought that instead of risking the night in town, we might as well set up a tent in the mountains. ”

"Oh, what rumors?" Ruan Jingsha hurriedly asked, as if she had forgotten all the unpleasantness just now. She is new to the rivers and lakes, and it is inevitable that she is curious.

The thin man was also a little surprised, wondering how this fierce girl could change her face so quickly, and he replied, "I heard that several people have been missing in the town recently, and they all happened at night, and they all stayed in their own homes, and they disappeared the next morning. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Ruan Jingsha touched her chin and thought.

The thin man nodded: "We don't know the specific situation, we still heard others say it on the street." We two passers-by, we are used to eating and sleeping in the open, and we can't live in the same town, so we hit the road. After a pause, he kindly reminded, "If the girl is going to spend the night in the town, then you have to be careful, I heard that the missing are all beautiful women!

"Hmm...... Thank you. Ruan Jingsha smiled, people didn't remember the kind reminder before, so she naturally had to say something. "I'm not afraid if that's the case, these two sisters are prettier than me, why can't it be my turn?" she pointed at Ling Hurui and Ye Linglong and smiled.

"Hehe, then I wish the three girls good luck! The thin man and the tall man arched their hands to the three of them and turned to leave.

Seeing the two of them walk away, Ruan Jingsha commented with satisfaction: "Hey, those two people are not bad!"

"Are you embarrassed to say, I almost got into a fight just now because of you!" Ling Hurui complained angrily.

Ye Linglong also sighed: "Yes!" Don't you know that 'woe comes from your mouth'? If you don't change this mouth, you will inevitably suffer in the future!"

"Okay, okay, next time. Now we should pay more attention to that terrifying rumor!" Ruan Jingsha changed the subject with a haha.

"'Hearing is believing, seeing is believing', just go to the town and see it. Linghu Rui strode towards Invite Moon Town.

"Hey, are you afraid?" Ye Linglong teased Ruan Jingsha.

Ruan Jingsha didn't care at all, but was happy because she met something new: "What's there to be afraid of? Don't forget, my strength is higher than you! Sister Linghu, wait for me!"

Ye Linglong shook her head and smiled, and also chased after her.

When I came to the town, I saw that the streets and alleys were closed, and the doors of every house were closed.

"It's just a matter of time, and there is no one on the street. It's not as lively as you say!" Ling Hurui said to Ruan Jingsha.

"Huh, shouldn't you...... Within a radius of a few hundred miles, there is such a town, and I have heard that even at night, the town is quite lively.

'The stars are dark in the night,

Hundreds of households are lit up with thousands of lights.

Warm wine dares to invite the moon,

Drunk dancing in the breeze. ’

This poem is about Invite Yue Town!" Ruan Jingsha said.

"It must be because of that rumor, let's find someone to ask. Ye Linglong proposed.

Ling Hurui saw a teahouse on the corner. The teahouse is an inquiry

A good place to rest, there are more guests coming and going, and the guests are not as drunk as the wine guests in the tavern, and the credibility of the speech is still quite high.

When we got to the door, the teahouse was about to close. There was no man in the shop, only an old man with gray hair. He saw that the three girls were about to enter the store, and hurriedly walked out: "The teahouse is closed, you better leave quickly!"

"Uncle, we're not here for tea, we want to inquire about something. Ye Linglong said.

"Then you will go away when you have finished asking," said the old man, "and the town has not been very peaceful lately. ”

"That's what we're asking about. ”

The old man sighed: "Alas, we don't know what evil has happened in this town, and there have been several people missing recently. I advise you to leave Invite Moon Town as soon as possible. ”

"What's going on?" asked Ruan Jingsha.

"I don't know. The old man waved his hand, "I only know one thing, it's all beautiful girls like you who are missing." ”

The three of them looked at each other, and it seemed that the two men they met outside the town were right. "Then why don't you go to Qianlong Zhuang for help? The owner of Long Zhuang is very strong, and he will definitely come to find out what happened. Ruan Jingsha was puzzled.

"Alas, unless we have to, why are we embarrassed to disturb the owner of the Dragon Village? Besides, there are a few powerful people in the town. No, a few days ago, they went to investigate the matter with a few other enthusiastic passers-by, and they haven't come back yet. ”

"It's strange, a few days ago, many people who came to Qianlong Village came from the direction of Invite Yue Town, why didn't anyone mention it?" Ruan Jingsha said.

"The people who go to fight must be in a hurry, for fear that if you recruit others, you may not stay in Invite Yue Town. Ling Hurui analyzed.

"Mention this again......" Ruan Jingsha pouted.

Ye Linglong asked: "Uncle, I heard that the missing people are all missing at home, so is there a direction for the investigation?"

"If there's no one in the town, they must have been robbed outside the town. The people who were robbed were all beautiful women, and everyone estimated that a group of mountain bandits and robbers were doing trouble. Out of Invite Moon Town to the west, east, and south are all flat land, if the bandits come from these three directions, they will definitely leave some traces. The only thing to the north is a large forest, and there is also a river across the river, which is usually inaccessible, so the bandits must have come from the north. ”

"But if the thieves do the tricks, there will also be traces left in the town, how can it be possible to kidnap people without knowing it?" Ye Linglong's words hit the nail on the head and pointed out the unreasonable.

"This ...... How do I know!" The old man spread his hands, and it seemed that he could not ask anything more, "You guys go quickly, I'm going to close the door!"

"Wait! Please tell us where the missing man lives. Ling Hurui changed his mind.

The old man suddenly became vigilant: "You don't want to steal, do you?"

Ling Hurui laughed: "Don't get me wrong, uncle. We had heard about it outside the town, but we still dared to come to the town for the night, just to find out about it thoroughly. We wanted to go to the missing person's home to see if there were any signs left. ”

"Actually, the town has sent someone to check, but they haven't found out why. Wait a minute. The old man went to the shelf behind the counter and brought a piece of paper, "I have a map of the town here, and I have marked the place where the disappearance took place. I'll give it to you. ”

Ling Hurui took the map, thanked the old man, and the three turned to leave.

"Well, something happened then, but don't blame me for not warning you......" The old man sighed behind them as he closed the door to the teahouse.

After walking for a while, the three of them were silent, each thinking. In the end, it was Ruan Jingsha who broke the silence: "Do you think it may be a bandit or bandit?"

"Seeing is believing. Ling Hurui turned into an alley as shown on the map. It was the family at the end of the alley who went missing.

The three of them came to the door and knocked on it. After a while, the door opened, and a haggard-looking woman poked her head out and looked at the three of them suspiciously.

"Auntie, we were ordered by the owner of Qianlong Zhuang to invite Yuezhen to thoroughly investigate the disappearance. In order to avoid trouble, Ruan Jingsha lied.
