Xu Chenglin looked at the girl's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but stop wanting to continue. He just watched her quietly, waiting for her next words. The two of them inadvertently forgot about the two big men on the ground for the time being. The two big men who were still in the middle of the two just now didn't know when they rolled to the side of the two. Just when the two of them were not paying attention, the two big men stood up at the same time. As soon as his body turned, he fled into the air.

Sensing that the two wanted to escape in the air, Xu Chenglin looked up but smiled.

"How much do you look down on me? Do you think I can't take to the air, or do you think I'm not fast enough? Or do you think I can't attack them in the air?

Saying that, Xu Chenglin raised the sting sword in his hand to his chest, and the next moment he flew out with the sword. In the eyes of the girl, Xu Chenglin disappeared in an instant. With a whistling, a lightsaber appeared in the air. The lightsaber was just a flash, and it directly hit the two big men who escaped.

"Ahh

"Ahh

Two screams came out almost at the same time, and the two big men fell directly into the clouds.

There were two bangs, and the two big men smashed directly to the ground. A mouthful of hot blood spurted out of their mouths. Immediately, they tilted their heads and passed out on the spot. It's also a shame that they are Qi Condensing Cultivators, otherwise it would be enough to fall to them if the clouds fall.

A ray of light was like the Milky Way falling to the ground, and after the light dissipated, Xu Chenglin's figure was revealed. The stunned sword in his hand flicked behind him, and with a choking sound, it automatically returned to the scabbard. Looking at the two fainted men on the ground, Xu Chenglin thought of a solution after thinking about it for a while.

If you want to tell if a person's words are true or false, there are not many ways to do so. And in the cultivation world, this method is simply not too simple. Soul searching was created to solve this problem. The so-called soul searching technique is to use the monk's divine sense to directly invade the opponent's mind. Only by peeping into the thoughts of others at the root can we distinguish the true from the false. This move actually hurts the person being cast a lot, because any person's mind is xenophobic, and the invading divine consciousness from outside will greatly damage the mind of the person being cast. Normally, the use of soul searching is not recommended. Of course, there are exceptions, such as the treatment of the most vicious monks, or secret interrogations.

Xu Chenglin didn't treat the two of them with the slightest politeness, and directly used the soul searching technique. In fact, this is not the first time he has used it, he has already used it once as early as when he was in the Beicang Continent. Although it is not a direct use of divine consciousness to invade, it is more terrifying to use the divine sword than to simply use divine consciousness.

With a flash of his eyes, Xu Chenglin directly used the Divine Mind Sword to spy on the minds of the two. In less than a moment, he knew what he wanted to know. Just as his consciousness was withdrawn, blood flowed out of the seven orifices of the two big men at the same time. This hideous scene happened to fall in the girl's eyes, and she was so frightened that she involuntarily took a few steps back.

"A bunch of useless and chaotic information! The cultivation world does not advocate the use of soul searching techniques, and it seems that there is a certain amount of reason. If you use it too many times, your divine consciousness will definitely be assimilated by all kinds of information in the other party's mind, and you won't be able to tell who you really are at that time. Maybe one accidentally makes himself crazy. ”

Rubbing his eyebrows gently, Xu Chenglin muttered to himself. After a few moments, he seemed to remember that there seemed to be another person in this place.

Turning around slightly, Xu Chenglin looked at the girl. The girl who was staring at him couldn't help but take two steps back. Xu Chenglin in the girl's eyes still has that calm and breezy appearance, but for some reason it makes her feel scared.

Shaking his head, Xu Chenglin sighed.

"Hey, girl, you haven't answered my question yet? How did you get down the mountain, and how did you get here? If I'm not mistaken, the first time the sect monks went down the mountain, they only got a part of the map of the Beicang Continent, how did you get to this Central Continent?"

When the girl heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. She stretched out her fingers tremblingly and pointed at Xu Chenglin in disbelief.

"You...... You are...."

"That's right!

As he spoke, Xu Chenglin raised his hand and took out a piece of jade. With a flick of the flick, it fell into the hands of the girl. Looking at the jade in her hand, the girl almost fell to the ground in excitement. She hurriedly took out a jade plaque from the storage bag, and she carefully put the two together. In an instant, a soft white light enveloped the two.

looked up at Xu Chenglin suddenly, and there was irrepressible joy in the girl's eyes.

"Sure enough, it's not fake, the senior is also a monk of Jiuhua Academy!"

Rolling his eyes helplessly, Xu Chenglin expressed the depression in his heart with his own actions.

"Jiuhua Academy's body and sword are different, didn't you look carefully just now? I reminded you twice, but I didn't react. I saw that when you dealt with the siege before, you were still a little clever, why are you stupid now!"

"Hey, hey, aren't you scared of being deceived!"

Smiled embarrassedly, and the girl looked a little embarrassed. Immediately, she seemed to think of something, and hurriedly returned Xu Chenglin's jade bi hands. Then she took a step back and saluted with her fists, and bowed to Xu Chenglin to the end.

"Ling Xiaofeng's disciple Lin Zhiru has seen Uncle Shi!"

With a slight lift of his hand, Xu Chenglin swept out a spiritual power to help the girl up, and at the same time restored part of the spiritual power for her.

Looking at the girl with a smile on his face, Xu Chenglin shook his head slightly.

"It's really a bit of fate. I

Your name is Xu Chenglin, and your name is Lin Zhiru. The last word of my name, coincidentally, is your last name!"

"yes, it's a coincidence. ”

After saying this, Lin Zhiru didn't know what to say next, but smiled slightly. Seeing that she was also not a very talkative person, Xu Chenglin asked straight to the point.

"By the way, you haven't answered me yet, how did you get from the Beicang Continent to the Zhongzhou Continent. ”

Speaking of this question, Lin Zhiru touched the back of her head and laughed awkwardly.

"Actually, I don't know exactly what's going on. I only remember that after I went around Tianhai City at that time, on my way back to the sect, I suddenly saw a pillar of light descending from the sky. Curious, I ran over there. When I got closer, I realized that it was actually a formation made of spirit stones. Just when I wanted to take a closer look, a suction force somewhere actually sucked me straight in. Then I fainted, and when I woke up, I was in this strange place. If I hadn't appeared near a small mountain village, I wouldn't have been able to walk around with a black eye. I stayed in the small mountain village for a few days, and later learned that this was not the Beicang Mainland. I left the small mountain village to find a way to return to the sect. ”

"The formation built by the spirit stone teleported you to the Central Continent, and the man who built the formation is very good. People who have such attainments in the formation seem to have never heard of anyone in the Beicang Continent. Could it be that I didn't go back either, and I became a little unfamiliar with the Beicang Continent. ”

Xu Chenglin frowned and muttered to himself. Then he remembered that the person in front of him was from the Beicang Continent, so he asked Lin Zhiru.

"Girl, how long have you been in the Central Continent, and did anything happen in the Beicang Continent when you came?"

Lin Zhiru thought for a while, and then answered.

"It's probably ten days. As for the affairs of the Beicang Continent, it should be that each sect is gathering its own Qi Condensing Cultivators. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Zhiru looked at Xu Chenglin with some curiosity.

"Uncle Shi, you are also a Qi Condensing Cultivator, and it seems that you should still be the best among them, why didn't you respond to the call of the sect?"

As soon as this sentence was asked, Lin Zhiru knew that she had asked a question that should not be asked. She hurriedly waved her hand again and again, wanting to explain to Xu Chenglin.

Xu Chenglin smiled lightly, but he didn't care about Lin Zhiru's question. He felt that there was no need to hide it, so he answered directly.

"During a treasure hunt, my companion was seriously injured. I didn't respond to the sect's call because I wanted to find an elixir for her. ”

Lin Zhiru was a little frightened just now, but she didn't expect Xu Chenglin to speak so well. Unconsciously, she actually felt a little close to Xu Chenglin. Looking at Xu Chenglin curiously, Lin Zhiru felt that the other party did not have the frame that a condensing cultivator should have.

Sensing the other party's movements, Xu Chenglin looked at Lin Zhiru with a smile.

"Girl, what do I have on me, I've been looking at it like this for a long time?"

was noticed by the other party about his small movements, and Lin Zhiru couldn't help but stick out her tongue. Then she pretended to be serious and spoke.

"Uncle Shi seems to be a little different from the Qi Condensing Monks I have seen, and you don't seem to have the frame that a Qi Condensing Monk should have. Instead...... Well, it's very kind! yes, it's kind!"

Waving his hand slightly, Xu Chenglin said with a smile.

"Who hasn't come from the tempering period, and the condensation period is just a realm. What is worth putting on a show, it's just a false name. Besides, it's fun to be on your own. ”

Hearing Xu Chenglin's words, Lin Zhiru suddenly laughed. After laughing, Lin Zhiru replied.

"Uncle Shi is really funny when he speaks, not like those old men in the sect. ”

Xu Chenglin also laughed and replied in the same way.

"Of course! I didn't listen to me, I'm still young! Although you call me uncle, in fact I am only a few years older than you. If it is placed in the mortal world, it is okay for you to call me big brother. ”

"That's good! Then I'll call you Brother Xu!"

When the girl heard Xu Chenglin's reply, she smiled and subconsciously followed.

Xu Chenglin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and scolded.

"You girl is beating snakes with sticks, this big brother really called out directly. But it doesn't matter, it's just a title anyway. ”

Lin Zhiru was a little surprised by what Xu Chenglin said, and her face couldn't help but blush.

Seeing this, Xu Chenglin no longer made fun of her, and turned around and two sword qi popped out from his fingertips. Two swishs broke through the air, and a finger-thick bloody hole appeared between the throats of the two big men who fell to the ground. After two muffled snorts, the two big men twitched a few times and stopped moving. Obviously, the two were already dead and couldn't die anymore.

Seeing Xu Chenglin kill two people so easily, Lin Zhiru's brows furrowed slightly, but then she took a deep breath and asked carefully.

"Uncle Shi, just kill them like this? Don't you still want to ask them about it?"

Xu Chenglin turned his head and saw that Lin Zhiru's brows were still wrinkled, his face darkened for a moment, and then returned to normal before he opened his mouth to explain.

"There is a famous saying in the cultivation world that everyone who kills people will always kill them. Do you know how many innocent monks and laymen died at their hands? I've just looked into their minds and found out where the missing people in the village have gone. You might not expect that the people who went missing would die at their hands. Not only that, but there was actually no one in the village just now

。 Everyone in the village was killed by them. ”

Hearing the news, Lin Zhiru covered her mouth in surprise. She understood why Xu Chenglin's face was ugly for a moment, but even more and a little unbelievable.

"How so? Why, monks shouldn't kill mortals, why should they?"

Taking a deep breath, Xu Chenglin calmed down for a while, and then said slowly.

"Monks don't hurt mortals, that's just what most monks say. Nowadays, the world is different, and there will always be a bunch of garbage in various places for no reason. Using human corpses as weapons, killing people as their own responsibility, using human blood to improve cultivation, and so on. It seems that these people exist to kill people. ”

Lin Zhiru's mood was as turbulent as a wave, she had never heard of these things in the sect before. Although she often heard that there was unease outside the sect, she didn't expect it to come to such a point. Listening to Xu Chenglin's words today, it completely subverted her thoughts.

seemed to feel that Lin Zhiru was not stimulated enough, and Xu Chenglin added another fire.

"With these two pieces of garbage in front of you, you can't guess what they're doing in the village. They are not human beings at all, and they have completely lost their bottom line as human beings. It is hateful to kill innocents indiscriminately, but it is even more damning to drink human blood and eat human flesh. It's not a pity to die!"

As he spoke, Xu Chenglin turned around and popped out a few sword qis, chopping the bodies of the two big men into pieces. Raising his hand to put the storage bag on the two of them into his hand, Xu Chenglin used a spell to ignite the bodies of the two.

The crackling burning sound was accompanied by the smell of burnt corpses, and Xu Chenglin only frowned slightly. And Lin Zhiru was even more miserable, she retched a few times and spit out directly. Maybe she was set on fire because she saw a corpse for the first time, or maybe she thought of drinking human blood and eating human flesh.

After a while, Lin Zhiru finally got used to it. She raised her head and looked at Xu Chenglin, but she didn't know what to say for a while. Xu Chenglin pondered for a moment, and then asked Lin Zhiru.

"Girl, I just heard you say that you want to return to the sect?"

Hearing Xu Chenglin's question, Lin Zhiru's eyes immediately lit up.

"Yes, yes, yes! Now that I'm in the tempering stage, I have no relatives and no reason in this Central Continent, and it's too dangerous to walk. Although the seven major forces are in the same spirit, the Scattered Cultivation Alliance of the Central Continent will not care about the life or death of a cultivator in the Tempering Stage. ”

Nodding his head slightly, Xu Chenglin said that it was indeed so. Then he fell into thought, and after a moment spoke.

"Let the Scattered Cultivation Alliance open a teleportation array for you, I don't think my face is so big. It's better to be like this, I'm just going to go to the Fengyuan Continent, you follow and see, it's like running blindly in Zhongzhou, what do you think?"

"Okay!"

Lin Zhiru seemed to have expected Xu Chenglin to make this suggestion, so she also readily responded. She agreed so neatly, but Xu Chenglin was slightly stunned. The next moment, he understood what was going on. As Lin Zhiru herself said, now that she has no relatives and no reason in the Middle-earth Continent, it is too dangerous to walk. If you follow Xu Chenglin to the Fengyuan Continent, there may be dangers, but at least you can help each other, and it is better than being alone. There shouldn't be much of a problem with a condensing monk and a body forging monk traveling together.

With a slight smile, Xu Chenglin discerned the direction and slowly walked away. Lin Zhiru paused for a moment, and then understood what the other party meant. She ran a few steps to catch up with Xu Chenglin, and she was also walking like him.

"Girl, have you ever heard of Senior Brother Cheng Hongming on Ling Xiao Peak?"

"Yes, but it seems to be in retreat. ”

"Oh. Do you know the other two who went back with him?"

"I haven't heard of it, I don't go to other peaks much. ”

Jiuhua Academy has ten peaks, and there are so many monks, how can they have time to pay attention to the situation of others. ”

"Are those two important to Brother Xu?"

"Friend!

"Oh, what did you do before you parted, was it a treasure hunt, and why were some of your companions hurt?"

"Hehe, we went to the Southern Dipper Star Continent and caused a scourge!"

"Really, can you tell me about that experience?"

......

In the chatting of a match, the two figures gradually moved away.

A few days later, Xu Chenglin and Lin Zhiru passed through a hill that was not high. Lin Zhiru looked at the terrain and pointed to a small mountain village in the distance. She smiled and introduced to Xu Chenglin that this was the place she had visited when she first came to the Central Continent.

Xu Chenglin's eyes narrowed slightly, and his divine sense searched there. At this glance, his face suddenly became ugly. Grabbing Lin Zhiru with one hand, Xu Chenglin took off directly on tiptoe. Ignoring Lin Zhiru's exclamation, he flew towards the small mountain village. In his consciousness. The small mountain village is suffering from disaster. One more moment of delay is the birth of one more life.

"Bastard, stop!"

Far away, Xu Chenglin shouted.

This shout shook Lin Zhiru a little, but it also spread directly to the small mountain village. Strangely, the small mountain village was silent at this time, and no chickens and dogs could be heard. It's noon, but the small mountain village has an eerie feel. In fact, it's no wonder that if you see a group of people slaughtering the unconscious villagers like livestock, you will feel this kind of eerie feeling. The Continent of Middle-earth settled down for a while, and finally began to make waves again.
