In the area that Tang Xiaotian is in charge of, there are actually only about 20 normal households. Tang Xiaotian didn't take long to walk through these 20 or so households. After talking about these people, Tang Xiaotian finally confirmed a fact. That is, all normal people live in the house, old and young, women and children, and as for the young and strong, there is no one. In other words, those who are young and strong are all recruited.

Thinking of this possibility, Tang Xiaotian's pupils shrank, and he instantly gasped.

"Use the excuse of praying for blessings to bring everyone together and take the opportunity to control others by casting spells. If it weren't for the fact that some people couldn't go to the prayer site for the time being, there would be more people being controlled. What did Taixuanzong want to do? It was actually controlling so many young and strong people. ”

Muttering to himself, Tang Xiaotian intuitively felt that this matter was very involved. He thought about it for a moment, and then walked briskly towards the inn.

When Tang Xiaotian quietly returned to the inn, no one in the house had returned in advance. Just as he was about to sit down and wait for the three of them, he suddenly heard a soft squeak on the door. With the sound of the door ending, Chen Luoxue's figure slowly appeared in front of the table.

Seeing Chen Luoxue appear, Tang Xiaotian's eyes suddenly lit up. Three steps turned into two steps, and Tang Xiaotian came to Chen Luoxue. He was beaming, and immediately wanted to tell her what he had discovered. At this moment, the door rang softly. With the disappearance of the voice, the figures of Xu Chenglin and Chen Moheng appeared in front of the square table.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tang Xiaotian was about to speak. Unexpectedly, Xu Chenglin waved his hand, turned around and arranged a soundproof barrier for the entire room. Tang Xiaotian was stunned, and then nodded slightly. The news he got was somewhat unusual, and he was in a hurry to share it with a few people, so he had just been so anxious that he had forgotten to prevent the wall from having ears.

Xu Chenglin turned his head and nodded at Tang Xiaotian. The latter took a deep breath and eased his emotions before speaking.

"I think it's probably figured out!"

Tang Xiaotian's words did not surprise the three of them. Seeing the calm expressions of the three of them, Tang Xiaotian deduced that they should have roughly inquired about what happened. Without worrying too much about the situation of the three of them, Tang Xiaotian decided to share the news of his investigation first.

"It is customary to pray for a blessing ceremony at the beginning and end of the month before the beginning and end of the month to bless the peace and success of the following period. In the past, blessing ceremonies were held by local respected elders and people. Ever since the practice has reappeared in the world, this blessing ceremony has been led by local practitioners. Since the establishment of Wenjian City, this blessing ceremony has been led by Taixuanzong. At a fixed time, Taixuanzong will come and lead everyone to pray for blessings. The people I visited were all people who had not been to the prayer ceremony for various reasons. There is an interesting phenomenon that you may have also seen, these normal people live in some old and young women and children. The young and strong are not one. ”

After listening to Tang Xiaotian's words, Chen Luoxue looked at the other two. She wasn't surprised to see them, and she knew they had heard the same thing. Turning her head to look at Tang Xiaotian, Chen Luoxue said slowly.

"It seems that everyone has heard about the same thing! What do you think?"

Xu Chenglin raised his head slightly, and said.

"I always feel that things won't be so simple! If there is a problem with the blessing ceremony, the monks of Sword City should not be suspicious. I've seen that among those monks there are also condensing monks, and even if they don't know enough, they should have doubted the blessing ceremony. They haven't been able to find the reason, and there must be something strange in it!"

Chen Moheng nodded and agreed with Xu Chenglin's point of view. He touched his chin and groaned slightly, and it took a while before he spoke.

"The problem should be in the blessing ceremony, which should not be fake. The reason why the monks in Sword City didn't find anything strange is that I guess it has something to do with what Xiaotian just said. ”

"You mean those normal people who don't have to participate in the blessing ceremony continuously?"

Tang Xiaotian's thinking was running rapidly, and in an instant, he found out the key point that Chen Moheng said.

"That's it! I'm guessing this improved version of the Mind Control Spell isn't meant to be cast once and for all. Just like the formation of habits, it generally takes a period of adaptation. This spell is roughly the same, it needs to be subtle to influence people's thinking, so as to achieve the purpose of control. ”

Although it is only speculation, all three are well-informed people. They felt that Chen Moheng's speculation was close to the truth.

Yesterday was the beginning of the new moon, and according to the time, today is the official start of the blessing ceremony. It is no wonder that the controlled pedestrians on the street are not walking aimlessly, they are heading towards the assembly place of the blessing ceremony. And more people may have already rushed over."

Slapping his thigh suddenly, Tang Xiaotian understood the reason why there were few people on the street during the day. He immediately got up and was about to rush out of the room.

Pulling Tang Xiaotian suddenly, Chen Moheng shook his head gently.

"You may not know that this is not the gathering place for the blessing ceremony in Sword City. At the four corners of the Sword City, there is a huge square as a gathering place for the blessing ceremony. In other words, there are four assembly places in Ask Sword City. You ran out so recklessly, which one do you want to go?"

Hearing this, Tang Xiaotian paused. Immediately, he also came to his senses and asked how there could be only one gathering place for the blessing ceremony in Sword City. You must know that Ask Sword City is not small, if you gather all the people in one place, a few mistakes will cause a lot of disasters. If nothing else comes out first, let's just say that it is crowded and prone to stampedes. This problem alone is difficult enough to solve. Not to mention that there will be a fire during the blessing ceremony, and one accidentally starts a fire, so many people will have nowhere to run when the time comes. These are just security issues, and order issues are even more of a headache. Wan and others are alive, and no one can say whether the people around them are pickpockets or something.

After understanding what was going on, Tang Xiaotian immediately began to think of a way. It was only a few breaths before he had an idea in his mind.

"Let's call the monks of Sword City to move with us?"

Chen Moheng thought this was a good idea, but after thinking about it for a while, he shook his head again.

"No! First of all, we can't rule out whether any of these monks are the black sheep, and secondly, they may not be able to recognize the modified Mind Control Charm. ”

Speaking of which, Chen Moheng found a problem that he had been ignoring. That is, everyone has not seen the so-called improved version of the God Control Spell with their own eyes, and it is still a question whether they can tell it.

Seeing that the blessing ceremony was about to begin, now there were two big problems in front of the four of them. The first question is whether it is not known whether there is a problem with every gathering place for the blessing ceremony, or whether there is a problem with a single gathering place. If there is a problem with all the staging areas, then it doesn't matter if they rush to that one. If only one of the assembly sites has a problem, they may be in the air if they don't move quickly.

The second problem is also the biggest problem facing the four of them today. Chen Moheng deduced that something was wrong, but now not only him, but even the other three had never seen the so-called improved version of the God Control Spell. Whether you can tell it is a problem, and whether you can quickly distinguish it is a problem.

"Damn it!"

scolded secretly, Chen Moheng was a little annoyed. Unexpectedly, he considered everything, but ignored the most basic issues.

Seeing that Chen Moheng was also worried, Xu Chenglin thought for a while and spoke.

"According to the second brother, the improved god control spell can affect people's spirits. But anything that can affect the spirit must have an impact on the consciousness. If Luo Xue and I carefully use our divine senses to investigate, we may be able to find clues. ”

Gently pointing at his head, Chen Moheng suddenly laughed. As soon as this smile came out, the sadness on his previous face was instantly dispelled.

"Great idea! Thanks to the presence of a few of you, it would have been a hassle for me to clean up this mess by myself!"

"And where are we going?"

Seeing that a problem had been solved, Tang Xiaotian immediately threw out a second question.

"It's all the same! We were thinking about how to tell the difference, but now we can just probe. ”

Turning his head and smiling, Chen Moheng said to Tang Xiaotian.

Thinking of something immediately, Chen Moheng looked at Chen Luoxue and Xu Chenglin.

"How many people from Taixuanzong have cultivated, and what are the number of people, and whether there will be other monks involved in this matter, we don't know at all. At this time, the situation is unclear and it is not appropriate for us to act alone. ”

The two nodded, both in understanding. In fact, just now, Xu Chenglin wanted to propose to act alone. But the thought that the situation was unclear gave up the idea. Although he had traveled alone on multiple continents, he was still a Condensing Cultivator after all, and if he met a Yuefan Monk, the possibility of finishing the game was still extremely high. Let everyone advance and retreat together without choice, why choose one person to know the unknown situation?

Monks are also selfish, or everyone is selfish. Xu Chenglin is no exception, he is also selfish. It was true that he and Chen Luoxue came to help Tang Xiaotian, but it was for Tang Xiaotian. To put it bluntly, the matter of asking Jiancheng has little to do with Tang Xiaotian, if he puts himself in a dangerous situation because of this matter, Xu Chenglin will not do such a stupid thing.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Chen Moheng nodded. Tang Xiaotian finally saw that he was about to act, and he took the lead in reaching out to everyone in his hand.

"Victory!"

Shouting softly, Tang Xiaotian looked at the three of them.

Xu Chenglin and the three of them suddenly stretched out their palms and stacked them on top of Tang Xiaotian's palms.

"Victory!"

The three of them also shouted softly.

When the words fell, Xu Chenglin removed the soundproof barrier. He tilted his head slightly, just to listen to the situation in the inn clearly.

"Let's go!"

A word was spit out, and Xu Chenglin's figure blurred for a moment. With a soft sound of the door opening, Xu Chenglin's figure disappeared. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the rest of the people also acted separately, and their figures disappeared in place, chasing Xu Chenglin closely.

Previously, Chen Moheng had already stated that the blessing gathering place of Ask Sword City was located on the four corners of the city. Xu Chenglin picked a position and rushed there. The controlled pedestrians he encountered along the way, he chose to take everyone to avoid. Although these pedestrians were controlled, it was unknown whether the people who controlled them could find the traces of the four people through them. Instead of gambling that he would not be discovered, Xu Chenglin simply chose to directly avoid the controlled pedestrians.

In the face of the unknown, we must dare to challenge, which is placed in the case of ensuring our absolute safety. As the situation is today, it is simply not suitable to challenge the unknown. To put it mildly, the four of them rushed to the assembly area so quickly, and if they were discovered, they would definitely attract people's attention. Imagine who would choose to run around the city at the time of the blessing ceremony? If there is such a person, it is either someone who has come to make trouble, or someone who has other plans.

Ask Sword City is not small, but here with the four monks, it is still not enough to see. After a while, Xu Chenglin and the other four came to the corner of Ask Sword City. Before, when they entered the city, they didn't notice the corners of the city at all, until now when they leaned into the huge square at the corner, they couldn't help but sigh.

The square in front of you is so big that it deserves to be huge. In short, if Xu Chenglin does not fly to a high place, he will not be able to see the whole picture of it. If you have to describe the size of this square, then Xu Chenglin can only say that it is the same as an ordinary small city.

"It's a big square, and it can accommodate nearly a quarter of the city's population. ”

Looking at the huge square in front of him, Tang Xiaotian sighed softly.

Yes, a square capable of accommodating nearly a quarter of the city's population. This square can actually accommodate more people, but no matter how many people say it, it will be a little crowded. Now the number of people is just right, leaving a huge open space in the center of the square, and the rest of the seats are all standing or sitting. The distance between people is just three feet, and it does not seem crowded or empty.

"It's a little tricky!"

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Chenglin's face was a little ugly. He had previously thought that Chen Moheng's so-called huge square was definitely not small, but it was still beyond his expectations that it was so big.

"What's the matter? Is it also difficult for you and the fourth sister's divine sense to add up?"

Frowning slightly, Tang Xiaotian looked at Xu Chenglin.

"What are you kidding! He's really a monk of Yuefan! Our two divine senses are in one place, and we can do it in a short period of time to explore such a wide area. But if you want to avoid being tricked, this is very difficult. ”

Without waiting for Xu Chenglin to explain, Chen Luoxue just said the reason on the side.

"How long will that take?"

Chen Moheng looked at his little sister and asked softly.

Glancing at the square again, Chen Luoxue estimated before saying.

"It will take half an hour at the earliest!"

"Generally, the blessing ceremony only takes about an hour to end, but a ceremony of this size like Wenjian City is estimated to last for more than three hours. Half an hour between the four of us going back and forth to several assembly areas, and two and a half hours of exploration time, so that's enough time!"

Saying this, Chen Moheng looked at Xu Chenglin and Chen Moheng and asked for their opinions.

"It shouldn't take so much time to explore, and the time to travel is also very rich, so it's feasible!"

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Chenglin nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Xu Chenglin had no problem here, Chen Luoxue walked to his side and was about to use the Divine Mind Sword to merge the two of them together. But before she and Xu Chenglin could make a move, they were directly stopped by Tang Xiaotian.

"Third brother, fourth sister, you wait!"

Stretching out his hand to stop the two, Tang Xiaotian whispered.

The two of them frowned for a moment, and then stopped the Divine Mind Sword that they were about to cast. Coincidentally, the three people present all looked at Tang Xiaotian. When they saw Tang Xiaotian's gloomy face, they knew that this guy must have discovered something.

"Old Five, what did you find?"

Approaching Tang Xiaotian, Chen Moheng asked in a low voice.

"It's that guy!"

Tang Xiaotian didn't explain much, just said this sentence softly.

The three of them didn't know who he was talking about, but they all subconsciously followed Tang Xiaotian's gaze. At this time, it seems that the blessing ceremony has also begun. I saw a flash of light in the center of the square, and six monks appeared. The three of them just swept it with their divine senses, and they realized that these six people were all Qi Condensing Cultivators. Among the six people, three were mid-stage condensation monks, and the other three were all early-stage condensation monks.

Tang Xiaotian's eyes were firmly fixed on one of the six people, and Xu Chenglin also successfully found this person. I saw that this person was about the same age as them, wearing a white robe of Taixuanzong, a long sword was inserted diagonally, and a pair of treasure boots under his feet were faintly aura, looking like a handsome young man with a righteous spirit.

At the beginning, the three of them still didn't know why Tang Xiaotian paid so much attention to this person. But after looking at this person's outfit for a while, they roughly understood what was going on. This person's outfit is really a little familiar, except for the different colors of the Dao robe on his body and the lack of hairpins on his head, he is actually the same as the young man in the Dao robe who tried to disadvantage Tang Xiaotian and them in the mountain village.

"Taixuanzong! That's right! It's their ghost! Hmph! I said that Taixuanzong posted a notice to arrest me, it turns out that the root cause is really here, and everything is explained!"

Tang Xiaotian squinted his eyes slightly and muttered quietly.

"This is the robed young man you are talking about?"

Xu Chenglin approached Tang Xiaotian and asked softly.

Tang Xiaotian nodded and did not reply.

Shaking his head and smiling, Xu Chenglin gently patted Tang Xiaotian's shoulder.

"Heh! Isn't that very good! Later, if we find out that these guys are really casting spells and harming people, then we must settle the old accounts with the new ones! If not, then settle the old accounts with him! No matter how you look at it, you will not lose money, don't put on the appearance that others owe you money. ”

Hearing Xu Chenglin say this, Tang Xiaotian was immediately amused. He shook his head and said.

"Third brother is really joking! I won't let this guy go no matter what, Yu Gong said that this guy is suspected of colluding with the Immortal Sect, Yu ...... Huh!"

In public and private, Tang Xiaotian will not let go of this young man in a robe. And the two who were supposed to release their divine sense to investigate at this time were not in a hurry. Now that the biggest suspect is in front of them, it doesn't look so eager to investigate.
