When you are full of hope, it is possible that your hopes are disappointed. This sentence is used to describe the mood of Xu Chenglin and the three of them at this time, which is very appropriate. The three of them were full of hope that they would be able to reveal the strangeness of Sword City, but when they really faced the truth, they were all stunned.

The three of them struggled to find the places where they suspected the monks, but when they learned the identities of the monks, they were all a little speechless.

The mysterious gathering of these monks and gods indeed has an ulterior secret. And this unspeakable secret is the reason why these guys gather. As for the reason for the gathering, the three of them figured it out from the conversation of the monks. The mysterious gathering of these monks is also to ask about the strangeness of Sword City. It's just that these people are not the people who Xu Chenglin thought caused this eccentric, but took the initiative to organize to investigate this eccentric person.

"I've met a fellow traveler!"

It was an idea that popped into the minds of the three of them at the same time.

Tang Xiaotian thought for a while, and then said to the two of them.

"Why don't you go out and say hello and talk to them about something, maybe it will help us to investigate?" ”

Chen Luoxue bit her lip lightly when she heard this, and her eyes rolled before nodding in agreement. Xu Chenglin's expression on the side was a little strange, and he seemed to think of something interesting, but he actually showed a strange smile.

"What's wrong with the third brother?"

Seeing Xu Chenglin's expression, Tang Xiaotian immediately asked curiously.

With a chuckle, Xu Chenglin shook his head and said.

"It's nothing! I just want these people to think they're doing secrets, what will their expressions be if we suddenly run out and ask them about the progress of their investigation?"

Xu Chenglin just said this, but at this time, Chen Luoxue and Tang Xiaotian couldn't help but think of such a scene in their minds. The thought that what was going to happen might be the same as they imagined was a smile for both of them.

Smiling lightly, Chen Luoxue looked at Xu Chenglin and suddenly felt a little helpless and a little relieved. Ever since this guy left the Phantom Cult with her, he has completely let go of his personality. The cautious and cautious Xu Chenglin in the past is still there, but he is no longer the Xu Chenglin who is a little wooden. But this change, she really likes. Because this is the same as Xu Chenglin in her impression, it finally matches the appearance.

Noticing that Chen Luoxue was looking at him with a smile, Xu Chenglin smiled back and asked.

"What are you smirking at?"

Chen Luoxue shook her head with a smile, indicating that there was nothing. Immediately, she thought of the current situation, and pointed to the group of monks gathered in one place. Xu Chenglin hadn't decided what kind of posture to appear, but Tang Xiaotian smiled and was the first to appear in front of the monks.

Tang Xiaotian's appearance was not noticed at first. Seeing this, he suddenly felt strange. It's obviously a very secret gathering, but no one has discovered one more stranger, so what secrets are there in such a gathering. As soon as he had this idea in his heart, Tang Xiaotian noticed the eyes of several monks looking at him. As soon as he saw these people, Tang Xiaotian suddenly found that they were the few monks who had passed by his group before.

It's okay to suddenly have an extra person in the gathering place, but it's a big problem to suddenly have an extra stranger who doesn't know anyone. The few monks who recognized Tang Xiaotian were stunned for a moment, and they were about to open their mouths to remind everyone. But Tang Xiaotian smiled at them and did what they wanted to do one step ahead.

"Uh-huh!"

Bowing his head and pretending to cough lightly, Tang Xiaotian attracted the attention of a group of people. Seeing that the time was almost up, he looked up and said with a smile.

"Haha! You were too vigilant on the way to gather, why did you go to the place instead of being vigilant, I have been standing here for a long time, and no one has even discovered my existence. You guys...... Really!"

In the end, Tang Xiaotian also shook his head with his back to make a high-ranking posture.

Tang Xiaotian's words were very light, but they could be clearly conveyed to everyone's ears. The many monks present were suddenly silent for a moment, and then all kinds of high and low momentum erupted from the calcining stage to the condensation stage. The goal of these momentum is the same, that is Tang Xiaotian who is putting on a master's posture.

"Oh no!

Seeing that all the monks present were oppressing him with their momentum, Tang Xiaotian knew that he was invincible. He didn't have time to think about it, and he only had time to think about this sentence. The momentum of so many people is connected, although it will not make him seriously injured on the spot, but it is no problem to look sluggish for a while.

The expected thing did not happen, Tang Xiaotian only felt that the invisible aura in front of him fluctuated, and a strong but vague divine sense formed a barrier in front of him. At this time, the momentum of the monks also dropped, but the momentum and coercion of their joint efforts only moved the invisible barrier in front of him.

"What a strong divine defense! This is ...... This is the handiwork of the third brother! It's just a demon! The divine sense is so terrifying!"

As soon as Tang Xiaotian's mind moved, he guessed the answer. The ones who can support him now are none other than Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue. And among the two people, the only one who can use such a powerful divine sense defense is Xu Chenglin.

"Let's see if you dare to pretend to be a master next time!"

Xu Chenglin chuckled and transmitted his voice, confirming what Tang Xiaotian thought in his heart.

Tang Xiaotian's expression remained unchanged in the face of many monks, but he smiled and transmitted the message to Xu Chenglin and them.

"With the two of you here, the next time I'll be Tang will still look like this. ”

Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue did not reply, but looked at each other and smiled in the dark.

The momentum oppression of many people joining forces was dissolved by the people in front of them. The faces of the monks were the same as their previous behavior, and they suddenly became unsightly. At this moment, all the monks looked at Tang Xiaotian with ugly faces. They may have all kinds of thoughts in their minds, but none of them have the idea of running away.

The momentum oppression of a group of people joining forces is not something that anyone can take. If you are any Qi Condensing Cultivator, you will be shocked by this momentum on the spot. And the one who can resist this momentum can only be the Yuefan Monk. In front of the Yuefan monks, although there were dozens of monks in this group, they had no idea of escaping.

The idea of these monks is very right, the momentum oppression of a group of people really needs to be resisted by monks in the Leaping Mortal Period. But no one said that it was the cultivation of the Yuefan Period that resisted the oppression of momentum, and the divine consciousness of the Yuefan Period could also resist the oppression of the momentum of everyone's joining forces. Yes, these monks were a little unlucky, they were unlucky to meet Tang Xiaotian, or Tang Xiaotian who was with Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue.

The faces of all the monks were taken into Tang Xiaotian's eyes, and he felt that the effect he wanted had been achieved. I saw him smile at what he thought was easygoing, and then he was about to say something.

"Dog thief! Accomplice! The culprit who kills ordinary people! If you want to kill or chop you to dispose of it, you want us to confess the sect behind it, don't think about it!"

Before Tang Xiaotian's words could be spoken, he was directly interrupted by a righteous voice.

Looking at the person who spoke in some astonishment, Tang Xiaotian found that this person was the young monk who had noticed that the three of them were a little different before. Shaking his head and smiling, Tang Xiaotian nodded heavily at this person. Then he gave a thumbs up and gestured to the young monk.

"Awesome! Heroic and fearless! I respect you as a man! Among the people I Tang have seen, you are one of the few people who are so virtuous, and I Tang call you the strongest here!"

Tang Xiaotian was probably pretending to be a master too much into the play, and he forgot what he wanted to say for a while. He spun around in place, looking at all the monks with a look of righteous indignation, and also gave them a thumbs up. couldn't help it, Tang Xiaotian actually opened his mouth to sing.

"Enough righteousness, love and righteousness are worth a thousand gold, Daoshan goes to hell, what regrets are there for the confidant, what are the regrets for sacrifice, willing to cut the heart for the confidant, blood and tears for the flow of love, how can there be hatred when you die, who dares to ask, in the world, acquaintance is fate, how to get drunk with a thousand arms, how to get drunk with a thousand arms, how to chase the idle clouds with wild cranes, how to ask about life and death, laugh at people, who cares about ......"

"That's enough!

Finally, he couldn't bear Tang Xiaotian's appearance, Chen Luoxue was angry and funny, and Tang Xiaotian shouted loudly in his ears.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Startled by Chen Luoxue, Tang Xiaotian suddenly gasped. The unfinished words he had finished singing were replaced by a series of coughing sounds.

The monks in the gathering place were now at a loss, they seemed to be startled by Tang Xiaotian, and then they were confused by Tang Xiaotian's series of actions, and now they were all at a loss. At first, they thought that Tang Xiaotian was an enemy, so they all looked generous and righteous. And now it seems, hehe, this is a guy with a brain problem!

After coughing for a few breaths, Tang Xiaotian finally gasped. He looked at the appearance of the monks present, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Suddenly reacting to his purpose, Tang Xiaotian quickly recovered his original posture of being a master. Nodding at the monks present, Tang Xiaotian spoke regardless of everyone's reactions.

"Can any of you tell me what is going on in Sword City? I don't see any great celebration in the city, but everyone is full of strange joy! I happened to meet some of you outside, and that's why I went with you to find out. ”

In a few words, Tang Xiaotian painted a lie, and if he was not in the know, he would not be able to find any flaws in it. It's a lie, but it's not all true. It's just that some of these facts were skillfully avoided by him, and some cause and effect were deliberately reversed by him.

The monks were silent for a moment, and after a while, they digested Tang Xiaotian's meaning. After understanding what was going on, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Everything that happened before the relationship was just a beautiful misunderstanding, and everyone had the same purpose.

Finally, before Tang Xiaotian and the others were a little impatient, a middle-aged monk in a soap robe who seemed to be the leader of everyone stepped forward with a smile. He bowed his hand to Tang Xiaotian and made a junior salute.

Tang Xiaotian looked at the cultivation of the person who came, and found that this person was actually a mid-stage condensation cultivator. He subconsciously wanted to return the salute, but thinking of his disguised identity now, he just nodded slightly.

"This ...... Well, Don Senpai!"

Thinking that Tang Xiaotian had always called himself Tang before, the middle-aged monk in the soap robe was also familiar with him.

Tang Xiaotian nodded, indicating that he had heard the other party's words. Seeing this, the middle-aged monk in the soap-robed robe thought about it for a moment, and then told the story of what they had investigated.

It turned out that these monks who had organized themselves together were all monks who had lived in Sword City for a long time. Originally, it wasn't called this name when he asked Jiancheng, but he was called this name after being included in the rule of Taixuanzong. Before, there was nothing strange in the city, but in recent years, I don't know what happened, and there was such a strange joy on people's faces. Strangely enough, this strange joy can only appear on the faces of ordinary people, as if the monk was born to resist this inexplicable joy.

If this weird euphoria doesn't affect people's lives, that's it. But this strange joy will quietly wear down people's will, and make people gradually lose their desire for life. Every once in a while, some people would disappear inexplicably in Sword City. And for these people, it's strange that no one cares.

The monks found out about this situation and reported it to the Taixuan Sect, who was the control behind the Sword City. But for some reason, after the news reached Taixuanzong, there was no follow-up. Some monks did not give up, and actually ran to the sect of Taixuanzong for help. But I don't know what happened, these monks didn't seem to show up in Sword City again.

This situation cast a shadow on the hearts of the monks in the Sword City. They once suspected that it was Taixuanzong who did it, and those monks who went to Taixuanzong were all dead, but it was Taixuanzong, what could they do. The only choice seems to be to leave Wenjian City. But this is easy to say, the difficulty of moving to the homeland is not a common problem for ordinary people, and it is also applicable to some monks. Besides, who is ruthless enough to allow their hometown to be destroyed.

For various reasons, out of desperation, a group of monks spontaneously organized together to investigate the strangeness of Sword City.

Tang Xiaotian shook his head vigorously from the beginning to the end. Since he had been frowning slightly, the crowd could not look at any emotion on his face.

Clenching his fists slightly, the middle-aged monk in the soap-robed robe asked tentatively.

"Senior, since you also want to know the weirdness of this question Sword City, why don't you stay and help us?"

When Tang Xiaotian heard this, he had to respond, because these monks whose hometowns had been destroyed evoked some memories in him. But the words he promised were in his mouth, and he suddenly swallowed them hard. Because at this time, Chen Luoxue broke off and shouted in his ears through the transmission.

"I don't remember my purpose! What did you promise to do? When did you become so nosy!"

Although Chen Luoxue also sympathized with the poor people whose hometowns had been destroyed, she still remembered the ultimate purpose of their trip. Although this matter is also related to Taixuanzong, if you rashly join these people, maybe there will be some unpredictable trouble. Who knows if there are any people with ulterior motives among these people.

"Don't promise anything indiscriminately, we will investigate the situation as a supplement, and wait for the second brother to arrive and act together; To put it mildly, you still have a lot of things to do yourself, and you still have the kung fu to meddle with other people's affairs?"

Xu Chenglin also disagreed with Tang Xiaotian's request to be a middle-aged monk in a soap robe, and also followed Chen Luoxue and said a word.

Tang Xiaotian was dumbfounded by the two, he wanted to refute the two, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that the situation was as they said. At this time, he was not suitable to agree to ask the monks of Sword City.

With a light sigh, Tang Xiaotian's expression of Ling Ran's promise just now turned into a faint sense of loss. Shaking his head slightly, in the expectant gaze of the middle-aged monk in the soap robe, Tang Xiaotian actually refused.

"Hey, it's not that I don't want to help you, but now I have something urgent. But I promise you, once you get out of your body, you will come to your aid. ”

Although Tang Xiaotian refused the soap-robed middle-aged monk, he promised to help after his affairs were dealt with.

The expectant expression on his face gradually disappeared, and the middle-aged monk in the soap robe smiled bitterly and nodded slightly. Although Tang Xiaotian said it well, he had already equated this with polite words in his heart. But he didn't know that Tang Xiaotian's words were sincere, not out of politeness after refusal.

Although it didn't penetrate into the heart of the soap-robed middle-aged monk, Tang Xiaotian knew his thoughts when he saw his expression. He opened his mouth to explain, but in the end he only sighed softly. Whether these people believe it or not, in short, he himself knows that what he said is not a lie, and it is enough to empty words.

Sometimes, there are some things that don't need to be explained, and if you explain more, it seems false, so it's better to do it silently and implement it silently, and when you get out of the water and see the mud on your legs, you don't need to say anything, everyone understands. Even if I don't understand, then what? I do what I do, I don't do it to explain, I don't do it to prove, it's just from the heart.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiaotian suddenly felt inexplicably much more relaxed. It seems that invisibly, a heavy burden has been removed from his body.

With a slight smile, Tang Xiaotian arched his hand to the people around him.

"I'm leaving! Take care, all of you! Give you a piece of advice, don't trust Taixuanzong too much. Others are afraid that he is too Xuanzong, but I am not sure! There is always a moment when the truth is revealed for some things!"

Putting down this sentence, Tang Xiaotian turned around and walked towards the exit of the gathering place. The monks opened their mouths to hold back, but eventually shook their heads and gave up. There is a way that strong twisted melons are not sweet, not to mention that they don't have that strength. In desperation, I had to see the reinforcements and leave.

It wasn't until Tang Xiaotian left for a while that someone discovered a situation in hindsight.

"That senior Tang just now was with us, right! A Yuefan monk, why did he perform the same salute with us?"

"Eh, yes, Yuefan Period, how do I feel that he is similar to my cultivation?"

"You seem to be saying this, I feel that the cultivation shown by this Tang senior is the appearance of the middle stage of condensation. ”

"You also said that it was a show of cultivation, but who knows what it actually is. ”

"That's not right, if it's the Leaping Mortal Period, is it necessary for him to disguise himself in front of a group of us forging body and condensing qi cultivators?"

"Maybe the old monster in the Yuefan period has a special habit, and he likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger!

"In this way, he said that he would come back to help us later, maybe it was true. ”

......

Tang Xiaotian's fist hug when he left was just a knee-jerk reaction out of mood swings. He didn't expect that because of his mistake, it would cause a heated discussion among the monks.
