Volume 1 The Red Devil Chapter 18 Whispers in the Alley
Yu Xinyue is naturally alone near the Mingyue Inn, after all, this fire goes down, if someone dies, then maybe Xia Feng will be over, so the shopkeeper did not die, and Yu Xinyue saved him in the end, of course, Yu Xinyue also hesitated to save it, because whether it is the shopkeeper or Xia Feng, the two lives are ants in her eyes, and they have nothing to do with her.
However, after hesitating for a long time, Yu Xinyue didn't want to make a fuss, so she saved the shopkeeper and didn't cause any trouble, and at the same time, under the inquiry of the city guard, she also followed Lan Mengling's instructions, saying that it was the wind that blew the spirit talisman, which caused the firewood room to catch fire, and by the way, some cultivation was exposed, so as to prove that there was no need to lie, and the city guard did not check anything, so forget it.
When Xia Feng returned to the Mingyue Inn, he saw that most of the inn had burned down, and the shopkeeper with a dead face looked at Xia Feng and asked angrily: "What did you run away from the fire, you said, did you do it?"
Xia Feng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "No, no, I was going to put out the fire when there was a fire, but the unicorn ran away, and I wanted to chase it back, but the unicorn was frightened, and the thief ran fast, and I chased it outside the city and didn't catch it." Xia Feng, who had already thought of any reason, did not look weak at all on the surface, just an innocent face.
And at this moment, Lan Mengling walked out and said, "Well, if he hadn't shouted for help, I'm afraid we would all have been burned to death." Lan Mengling under the veil helped Xia Feng to relieve the siege.
The shopkeeper's account room was gone, and he was burned, but because of the compensation, he quarreled, Xia Feng didn't care about the follow-up, took his little luggage, and was about to leave, looked at Yu Xinyue, and then at Lan Mengling, and still said: "Thank you." The other Xia Feng didn't say anything, because he didn't want Yu Xinyue to think that he had any purpose.
Xia Feng looked at Wenxiao Lou, he actually wanted to go there to sit, but he knew that even if Lou Wenxiao valued his literary talent very much, it was not there for his identity, and it was just a humiliation for himself to go.
Lan Mengling frowned slightly as Xia Feng left, turned his head to look at Yu Xinyue, and asked with a hint of questioning, "Did you say anything to him?"
Yu Xinyue suddenly didn't have the usual hippie smile, but lowered her head, like a subordinate who had made a mistake: "I just said something I should have said, a person of his status is not even qualified to stand with you." β
"When, who will I make friends with Lan Mengling, and you will have to decide?" Lan Mengling was obviously angry.
"I ....." Yu Xinyue wanted to explain something, but Lan Mengling stopped: "I hope there is no second time for such a thing." Lan Mengling is indeed a little angry about this matter, Xia Feng's qualifications are indeed not very good, but this person's character, Lan Mengling is very appreciative, and there is also this convincing style and truth, such a person, she thinks it is worth befriending.
Lan Mengling turned his back to Yu Xinyue and said as he walked: "Let's go to meet that person outside the city first, then go to the Imperial City, and finally go to Dujiang to see what the top disciples of the five major sects are." β
The breeze floated, blowing off Yu Xinyue's veil, under the night sky, it was impossible to see what she was thinking on her beautiful face, Lan Mengling may be three points better than her, but Yu Xinyue is also stunning, especially those two deep and cute dimples, which Lan Mengling does not have.
Yu Xinyue bit her lip lightly, there was a trace of imperceptible anger in her eyes, and she thought to herself: "The maid is always a maid, is this fate?" Thinking of this, the corners of Yu Xinyue's mouth hooked up a smile, and she got up to catch up with Lan Mengling.
"Mengling, don't be angry, the next time I see him, I'll apologize to him. With Yu Xinyue's coquettish apology, the two seem to have become good sisters again, Lan Mengling heard Yu Xinyue say this, so she naturally chose to forgive her, who called them good friends and sisters who have played since childhood.
"Hmph, I'll forgive you this time, next time I'll be like this, hmph..."Lan Mengling stretched out his hands, with a wicked smile, as if he was going to do something terrible, Yu Xinyue suddenly shouted: "Don't scratch my waist." The two of them frolicked on the road, and there was no barrier between them.
And the saddest thing should be the shopkeeper of the Mingyue Inn and the little er, because the account room is gone, both of them are sad, but the shopkeeper naturally suspects Xia Feng of arson, but there is no evidence, and he can't help it, after all, the city guards haven't found anything, so they think they are unlucky.
There are many people living outside the Wushuang City, because it is close to the big city, and there are no monsters nearby, so it is also quite peaceful, but it is not as prosperous as the Wushuang City.
Vertical Sun!
Near noon, on the side of the road outside Wushuang City, Lan Mengling sat under the big tree, waiting for Yu Xinyue, after a while, Yu Xinyue appeared in front of Lan Mengling, looking a little tired, Lan Mengling frowned and asked, "What are you?"
"The man was still there, and he hadn't left. Yu Xinyue continued: "He is indeed very strong, I didn't use a few weapons against him, but I didn't test his strength either, but I already know the identity of this person, he is the holy envoy of the Food Saint Sect, called Food for Heaven." β
"Food Saint Sect, I seem to have heard of it somewhere, but I don't remember if it's not a major sect, right?" Lan Mengling couldn't remember where he had heard it, but he couldn't think of it, it shouldn't be a big force.
"They are not a sect, they can only be regarded as an organization, this is a non-righteous and non-evil organization, they do not have a fixed place, some just have the same belief, that is, eating, their purpose is: the people take food as the sky, the immortals take the spirit as the food, rely on absorbing the spiritual objects between the heaven and the earth to feed themselves, what they advocate is to rely on eating, and use food to cultivate enlightenment. β
"I remember, last time my father said that this Food Saint Sect has reached an unprecedented pathology for eating, and the Elders will discuss whether to eradicate this organization, but in the end it was not eradicated, after all, they did not do anything harmful, but I heard that the method of cooking is really cruel, I didn't believe it before, how cruel it is to make a dish, this time I have seen it. Lan Mengling then remembered that the last time he did something about the Food Saint Sect, it caused a heated discussion at the top of the Sword God Sect, but for their cultivation methods, it was both good and evil, and it was not judged, and in the end, there was not enough reason to eradicate them, so this matter was over.
However, the origin of the Saint Eating Sect is mysterious, and I don't know when it appeared in Zhongtian, nor how long its inheritance age is, and how strong the heritage is, but I know that their cultivation method is a little cruel, but their power in Zhongtian does not seem to be very large, but specifically, they are all over all parts of Zhongtian, especially in places other than the Nine Great Cities, almost all of them are there, of course, in the Nine Great Cities, there are also their figures, but they do not appear blatantly, but they can be seen vaguely among some high-ranking officials and noblesγ
"Looks like I'm going to have to meet this Holy Envoy and see how strong this Saint-Eating Sect is. Lan Mengling removed his veil, looked at the bamboo forest in the distance, smiled and said to Yu Xinyue, "You are waiting for me here." After saying that, Lan Mengling jumped up, flying up like a butterfly, and a blue ice sword appeared under her out of thin air, she stood on tiptoe slightly, stepped on the ice sword, and flew into the distance.
"Even the saber was taken out, it seems that it is serious, and it is estimated that it will not be able to be done for a while. Yu Xinyue watched Lan Mengling go away, and she also jumped up, stepped on the flying sword, and headed towards Wushuang City, without waiting for Lan Mengling on the spot.
And in Wushuang City, Xia Feng passed by Wenxiao Building, and he didn't know how Lou Wenxiao knew that he was passing by, so he actually pulled himself to Wenxiao Building, Xia Feng was not easy to refuse, so he stayed in Wenxiao Pavilion behind Wenxiao Building for one night, and at night, Xia Feng saw the letter in his luggage, the handwriting in it was beautiful and elegant, giving people a very comfortable feeling, at a glance, you can feel that it was written by everyone's lady.
And in the envelope, there are two hand-copied spiritual decisions, one volume is called "Phoenix Breathing Technique" and the other volume is "Phoenix Refining Spiritual Formula", the technique of Tuna is to condense spiritual resources, as for the spiritual refining method is the spiritual decision of women's cultivation, the two spiritual decisions can be said to complement each other, the letter wrote, these two volumes of spiritual decisions are for Xia Feng and his future wife, remember to destroy them after reading them, so as not to attract the prying eyes of others and bring trouble to yourself.
The others didn't say anything, just let Xia Feng take care, Xia Feng also felt a burst of warmth, the first time he was valued by others, and the quality of this spiritual decision is very high, just the first few words, Xia Feng can clearly feel that Xia Feng has practiced for a while, and he feels the changes in his body, and it is only one step away from opening the spiritual resources, and he is naturally very happy in his heart, this phoenix spitting technique is many times better than the spirits of the Sword Gate and the Divine Rune Gate, as long as it takes a little time, he must be able to reach the spiritual resources realm.
And when Xia Feng left Wenxiao Building, he happened to see Yu Xinyue's figure, Xia Feng thought about thanking Lan Mengling, after all, he really wanted to thank him for giving him such a precious cultivation spirit.
Xia Feng tidied up his clothes, and just walked to the corner of the street, he saw a man in a black robe, talking quietly with Yu Xinyue in a deserted alley, and he didn't see Lan Mengling's figure around.
"You take these spirit stones, you must be careful, it is best to find some unfamiliar loose cultivators, no matter what sect it is, the only thing is that it cannot be exposed, so before the plan begins, you must swear by all the demons in your heart, and you must not reveal your identity yourself, understand?" Yu Xinyue handed a bag containing things to the black-robed man, and the black-robed man turned his back to Xia Feng, and Xia Feng couldn't see his face.
The man seemed to hesitate, but it was only a few short breaths, the man's hand was a little trembling and he took the spirit stone, and his voice trembled a little and asked, "Are you sure that this will not be discovered?"
"Do you have a choice now?If your affairs are discovered, do you think the Sword God Sect will let you go?" Yu Xinyue sneered, and at the same time, the corner of her eyes seemed to see someone, frowned, looked behind the black-robed man, and chased after him at the same time, but just saw a back disappear in a flash, turning the corner, there were people coming and going on the street, and I didn't know who it was just now.
Yu Xinyue naturally didn't think of a little person like Xia Feng, and Xia Feng pretended to be calm and walked on the street, and couldn't help but ask himself: "What am I running? Why should I run?" In fact, he knew the reason himself, and he was afraid that he had heard something that he shouldn't have heard, so he would run.
