Chapter 18: The Ancient Town is Frightened
The four of them approached and saw that it was a greasy middle-aged man. Yi Liunian opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle, do you have one yuan pill to sell here?"
The middle-aged man raised his head when he heard the sound and said: "A few little brothers seem to be newcomers, Yiyuan Dan is not a superb product, the formula has long been circulated, and it is not strange that there are genuine products for sale."
After speaking, he added a little obscenely: "But I don't hide a few, the goods on this stall are all high-quality imitations, the materials are insufficient, and the effect is only a fraction of the real thing, but the price is not cheap." ”
Hua Lanting took one and smelled it, the medicinal fragrance was a little similar, so he asked, "How many spirit stones?" Lin Xian next to him also asked: "Listen to what you mean, could it be that you really have a genuine product?"
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "A high imitation of a thousand lower grade spirit stones, genuine, I also have it, it's in the backyard house, it's just a primary one, five thousand pieces, no two prices, if you really want me, I'll take you to see it, otherwise don't bother." ”
The four teenagers heard the middle-aged man's words with the meaning that they were young and could not afford to buy them, and they were a little angry in their hearts, and looked at each other, weighing that everyone could still buy three or two pieces if they raised funds and then bargained about the price.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man waved his hand and said, Then please enter the door to inspect the goods, and the four of them did not doubt him, and walked into the courtyard gate in turn.
As soon as they came in, the four of them heard the sound of the door closing behind them, and before they could react, they felt a sudden pause under their feet, and the surrounding scenery turned rapidly, and a feeling of spinning the sky and the earth struck.
Lin Xian was shocked to learn the formation, and was the first to become alert, and was about to shout: "Phantom formation, retreat quickly!", but it was too late, and the four of them fainted unconscious in front of their eyes.
I don't know how long it took, Hua Lanting felt the warmth in his chest, and he began to regain consciousness little by little, but his whole body was still numb and couldn't move at all, and he could only feel that he was lying on the ground in a dark room, and he heard someone talking in his ears: "Eighth child, Malier's, activate the spell and ask the soul of the second ancestor, we don't have much time, I just checked, and this kid in blue has the lowest skill, just him." ”
Hua Lanting knew that the boy in blue was talking about himself, but he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers, and he was so anxious that he couldn't guess what the other party was going to do, so he heard another person next to him saying something in his mouth, and his words were obscure.
After a while, the surroundings became cold, and there was a shrill laughter, and a voice said, "Have you finally waited for this day, old five, eight, well done." ”
Hua Lanting suddenly had a splitting headache, as if something was about to be forced into his mind, and when he had nothing to do, he could only force himself to concentrate all his energy on the empty sky blue smoke jade in his chest.
Just when he was about to lose consciousness, a sharp stabbing pain in his chest came, and Hua Lanting screamed and came to his senses.
When he opened his eyes and stood up, Lin Xianjing, Yi Liunian and Zhuge Yun were all lying next to him, and they were awakened by a loud cry and were in a daze, and the two people in front of him, one was the middle-aged man, and the other was a short, ugly bald and fat man, who looked at him in a daze.
With his mind racing, Hua Lanting pulled up Lin Xian and kicked Yi Liunian and Zhuge Yun up and flew to the window with one leg after another, and shouted in his mouth at the same time: "The wind is tight, pull it!"
As soon as the four of them broke through the window and fell into the courtyard, they felt that the middle-aged man also jumped out, and at the same time heard him say to the short man urgently: "The matter is revealed, you quickly take back that one and then set it on fire, I will kill these boys, let's withdraw immediately!"
The four of them will run to the gate of the courtyard, and they will hear the sound of breaking wind behind them, and a strong force will come. At the critical moment, Hua Lanting was in a hurry, his mind flashed, he took out an object from his pocket and threw it backwards vigorously, shouting in his mouth: "Flash Lei Yanzhu, hurry!"
I only heard two huge roars in front of and behind him, and the electric light behind him flashed like thunder like a thunderbolt, and at the same time, two puffs of smoke rushed out of the rear, and the yard was immediately filled with smoke, and the four people were thrown out of the door by the huge wave and fell to the ground, Hua Lanting lost consciousness again, and the other three couldn't get up for a while.
By the time the three of them struggled to get up, the yard was already full of fires and smoke, and the surrounding streets were full of gongs, and many people rushed here in the noise.
Not long after, a large group of people arrived, and the first two were Teng Dinglie, the head of the Teng family, and Xu Hengchuan, the deacon of the Thunder Punishment Hall of the Free Vientiane Gate, who was on duty in turn. After the two of them had a general understanding of what had happened, they immediately sent a message to the mountain and Xu Hengchuan personally escorted the four of them back to the mountain, and at the same time quickly blocked the scene and began to chase down the two men who committed the crime throughout the town.
At night that day, in the main hall where Xuan Gefeng was built, Zhou Xi, Mu Lutian and Xu Hengchuan were learning more about the whole process of the matter from Lin Xianjing, Yi Liunian and Zhuge Yun.
I heard Xu Hengchuan slap the table: "The thief is bold and reckless, and he dares to do evil under the mountain in broad daylight and in a bright and bright manner." "Yuehe Town has been safe and sound for many years, but today there was an accident during his duty, so it was naturally a big fire.
Mu Qitian's face was solemn: "I just don't know what intentions the other party has to attack a few beginner disciples, it is said that it is easy to directly kidnap or kill them, but it sounds like setting up a bureau." ”
Lin Xian interjected in surprise: "That's the case, that middle-aged man went to a great time with us in order to lead us in. Now that I think about it, it's all about unconsciously and legitimately bringing us into the phantom array, and I don't think they're doing it to kill us, but to wake us up and realize that nothing is wrong, and we should be able to return to the door normally. As for what they were going to do when we fainted, maybe there would be clues when Lan Ting woke up. ”
Mu Qiwan asked Xu Hengchuan: "Old Xu, is there any news from the town?"
Xu Hengchuan replied: "There are not too many, the yard has been completely burned down, and there are no useful traces to be found, the yard was bought by someone many years ago, and the neighbors said that there are few people in the yard, and when there are people, they live in a simple place." The two men slipped away very fast, and they should have planned their escape routes in advance. ”
Zhou Xi said slowly at this time: "Many years ago, I bought the courtyard and tried not to move, and the target was the beginner disciples, I knew that they were on vacation, and I knew that I used Yiyuan Dan to attract, not to kill, but to arrange a phantom array to stun silently, and after the defeat, I said that I would take back that thing and set fire to kill people and retreat calmly." ”
"Okay, this is a big ticket. I can probably guess some of the other party's plans, but I'd better wait for Lan Ting to wake up and ask first. Xiao Mu, Xiao Xu, everyone may not be as leisurely as before. However, it's a bit interesting, the trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop. I don't know about you two, but I'm already thinking about it. ”
Hearing this, Mu Xu's faces relaxed slightly. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a beautiful middle-aged Taoist aunt came in from outside the door, Mu Qitian's expression changed unnaturally, and she immediately recovered, and asked, "Senior sister, how is Lan Ting?"
As if she hadn't seen Mu Qiwan, Dao Gu pointed at Lin Xian and the three of them with Elder Zhou Xi and said, "The three of them were just shocked by the flash thunder beads, and they will be fine after a few days of rest, but fortunately, only two of the four have them with them, if the four of them explode, they will have to lie on the bed for a few days." That disciple named Hua Lanting is also fine, he is also awake now, and he will be able to get out of bed in a few days, you can go over and ask him if you have something to say. ”
Speaking of this, he turned to Mu Qiwei and said coldly: "Hua Lanting has lost all the spiritual energy absorbed in the past half a year, and I need to practice the Freedom Wuji Gong from scratch, and I can't find out the reason." But you don't have to worry, I've investigated, he didn't suffer any internal injuries, and this child's meridians are rarely generous, and his cultivation will be affected because of this, but the foundation will be very solid, so you'd better be more attentive in the future. I'll go first, and someone will come to Kaiyang Peak to find me. He nodded to the crowd and left.
Mu Qiwan agreed with a wry smile, Zhou Xi and Xu Hengchuan pretended not to see the abnormality between the two, and took a few people to Hualan Ting's room.
After a long treatment, Hua Lanting's face looked as usual, but his whole body was weak and weak, and he couldn't move much. He said everything he heard, only hiding the matter of the sky and the blue smoke and jade, Zhou Xi said thoughtfully: "Take away, the other party really wants to take away." “
Mu Qitian was taken aback: "Take away the house! Take the house for the beginner disciples?" and then explained to the four people: "You should have heard of the snatching of the house, a method of borrowing the body of others after death to resurrect the immortal soul, which can only be used above the Seven Star Realm, but it cannot be said that it is completely a demonic method, and the top masters also occupy the body in order to continue their lives. ”
Xu Hengchuan added: "But the object of the general seizure is that the higher the skill, the better, and can only be cast within three days after death, so that after success, it is conducive to recovering and improving cultivation as soon as possible. ”
Zhou Xi said in a deep voice: "Snatching away usually erases the host consciousness to possess the physical body, and generally speaking, it will be used by people who are more than three realms lower than themselves, otherwise it is easy to fail or become insane. If I'm right, the other party must be doing this to lurk. Not only does it have a high success rate, but it can also retain the host consciousness without arousing suspicion. The disadvantage is that no matter how high the caster's skill is, he needs to use the host's body to re-practice, and even if the caster is experienced, it will take a lot of time to recover his cultivation, which is for long-term lurking. ”
Mu Qitian suddenly said: "Will this matter be ...... with the blood cloud?"
Zhou Xi interrupted him: "It's hard to say, it's a big matter, I'll go and meet the head immediately." Hengchuan, you go back to the town first and stand by, and you can settle them, don't spread the word in advance. The other party's target was a junior disciple, but the four of them caught up, and it was a loss that Lan Ting's physique was not an ordinary person, and he was able to wake up in the process of seizing the house, and the other party was caught off guard by the hindrance of two flash thunder beads, and was slightly injured and was in a hurry to escape, otherwise it would be really dangerous. ”
After speaking, Zhou Xi and Xu Hengchuan left separately. Mu Qitian said to the four of them: "Hear it, Lan Ting is blessed, you have a big life, you escaped, don't make a public announcement." Now that you know the other party's intentions, there are many ways to check and prevent it in the door, so you don't have to worry about it, you all go back and have a good rest. Huiyingbi saved Shang Lao'er's life, and Flash Lei Yanzhu saved your life again, this deal is a good deal. Regarding Lan Ting's cultivation, we will discuss it later, and we will take care of our injuries first. ”
Hua Lanting replied: "Okay, my situation is over, my aunt has told me, don't worry."
