Chapter 24: The Eel
"You mean you met this girl by chance on the street, right?" the Great Elder sat on the edge of the bed, checked Jin Feifei's pulse, and asked the Second Elder.
"Yes, I was walking on the road, and this girl didn't stand still and crashed into my arms. The Second Elder told the Grand Elder about meeting Jin Feifei, "I knew that this girl was not feeling well when I looked at her face at the time, and based on my years of experience, I could tell at a glance that this girl was in trouble. ”
"You're just here!" the Great Elder smiled bitterly, "This girl obviously has very serious internal injuries. ”
The Second Elder was surprised, "Internal injuries?"
"yes, I found it when I was taking my pulse. Second brother, Mingfan, you help me to help this girl up. Several people helped Jin Feifei up, and the Great Elder put his palm behind her back, and overloaded his true qi into Jin Feifei's body, wanting to try to heal Jin Feifei's injuries.
However, in the process of healing, the Great Elder found that the injured organs in Jin Feifei's body actually rejected the true qi in her body, which instead aggravated the injuries in her body, and blood flowed out from the corners of her mouth.
"This!" Realizing that something was wrong, the Great Elder immediately retracted his true qi.
"Big brother, what's going on?" the second elder was puzzled.
The Great Elder said with a solemn face, "This Golden Girl's injury is problematic, and my True Qi will not only not be able to help her, but will aggravate her injury. ”
As soon as these words came out, the second elder's face was even more puzzled, although the "Taizhen Dao Qi" they cultivated was not a healing exercise, it should also have some healing effect on most injuries.
"Huh?" The Great Elder felt strange when he saw that Ming Fan had been staring at Jin Feifei and asked, "Fan'er, what's wrong with you?"
The second elder also noticed Ming Fan's strange appearance, and said with a smile, "Why Xiao Fanzi, when you see a beautiful young lady, you just stare at it all the time, right?" ”
"She, where do I think I've seen her?"
"Oh, yes, I know how to use déjà vu as an entry point to make friends, and I can make it. The second elder said with a slight surprise.
"Go, go, go, you think Fan'er is just like you. The Great Elder glanced at the Second Elder and asked carefully, "Fan'er, can you remember where you saw this Golden Girl?"
Ming Fan thought about it carefully, "I'm ......" Just as he was thinking, his head suddenly felt a huge pain, "Ah!", Ming Fan covered his head and shouted.
The second elder hurriedly asked, "Xiao Fan'er, are you okay?" ”
"I ..... It's okay. Ming Fan gasped and said, "It's just that when I was thinking about it just now, my head suddenly hurt." ”
"That's right. The Great Elder said with concern, "Then don't think about it yet. ”
The Great Elder said, "Now we can only wait for this girl to wake up." Second brother, are there any other rooms in the inn?"
The second elder touched his chin, "There seems to be a vacant room left next door, what are you going to do?"
"It's probably inconvenient for her to live with a few of us, so I want to open another room and let's move in. ”
"That's right, it just so happened that you and Mingfan moved over, and I stayed here to take care of her. The second elder patted his chest and said.
"Fart! I'm talking about you and me!" the Grand Elder shouted.
"Ah~~~~," the second elder complained.
The Great Elder didn't have a good breath and said, "Ah, what. Ming Fan just stayed here to take care of Miss Jin. The Great Elder instructed Ming Fan again, "Fan'er, if there is anything, go to the next door and call us." ”
Ming Fan nodded in response, "Got it, Great Elder." ”
The Second Elder still wanted to discuss it with the Great Elder, but before he could speak, the Great Elder glared at him, "Why don't you go find the shopkeeper yet!"
The second elder had no choice but to go downstairs and open another room.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the two elders came to the next room to check on Jin Feifei's condition, and found that she hadn't woken up yet, so they instructed Ming Fan a few words and left.
Then where are they going, it's very simple, Murong Mansion, because today is the day of Murong Jingyi's birthday banquet.
Early in the morning, all the merchants in Shangwu City were putting up lanterns to celebrate Murong Jingyi's birthday. To tell the truth, Murong Jingyi is indeed very popular among businessmen in Shangwu City.
After all, these businessmen are not less touched by the light of Murong Jingyi.
The words are divided into two ends, just when the city is lively, a group of people wearing the same long clothes are running towards the city a few miles away from Shangwu City, and if you look closely, you will find that there are two words sewn with gold wire on the outside of the neckline of their clothes,
'Star Luo'
Among them, a man who walked at the forefront shouted to a few people behind him, "Everyone hurry up, today is Murong Jingyi's birthday banquet, if we are late, we will be ashamed." ”
From this sentence, we can know that this group of people was also invited by Murong Jingyi to participate in the birthday banquet.
The person who spoke in front of him was the deputy head of the Star Luo Sect, Wu Yuxuan.
Xingluomen is a second-rate sect far away from Shangwu City, the scale is not large, and its disciples can have about fifty disciples.
They were also very surprised to receive Murong Jingyi's invitation, because the distance was relatively far, and they didn't have much friendship with Murong Jingyi on weekdays. In recent years, when Murong Jingyi gathered the sect, he sent people to ask their opinions several times.
It is said to be asking for opinions, but in fact it is a threat.
Xingluomen was very angry at Murong Mansion's behavior, but in terms of strength, they couldn't compare with Murong Mansion at all, so they could only hold back their anger first and tell the people who came, hoping to give them a little time to think about it.
I don't know if Murong Jingyi forgot about it after a long time, or if he didn't care about Xingluomen's thoughts at all, and since then he hasn't sent anyone to Xingluomen to ask them what they are thinking about.
Until not long ago, Murong Jingyi sent someone to deliver the invitation.
The head of the Xingluo Sect, Liu Sibo, learned from the mouth that all the sects near Shangwu City had received the invitation, and they already understood that there must be a conspiracy behind this invitation, but they couldn't afford to offend Murong Mansion, so they had to send Wu Yuxuan to lead a few disciples to the banquet.
Before leaving, Liu Sibo said to Wu Yuxuan, "This time, if Murong Jingyi proposes to rein in his forces again, don't be in a hurry to express his position, and first look at the opinions of the other sects." If most of them agree, let's agree. ”
Wu Yuxuan hurriedly persuaded him, "Master!
"Alas, there is no way, the strength of Murong Mansion is not something we can compete with, for the sake of everyone's livelihood, we have to do this. Liu Sibo sighed and said helplessly, "Now I just hope that the rest of the sects are dissatisfied with Murong Jingyi's behavior, and there may be room for change in this matter." ”
Thinking of the words of the master, Wu Yuxuan was even more upset in his heart.
And the reason why they haven't been able to reach Shangwu City today is not only because of the distance between the two places, but also because of the time they received the invitation.
At the beginning, Murong Jingyi warned his subordinates who went to Xingluomen to deliver the letter, and when they arrived at the town where Xingluomen was located, they should not rush to deliver the letter, and they must wait for two days before sending it. It was already far away, but the time to receive the letter was postponed. So along the way, the Xingluo Men can be said to be in a hurry, hurrying and not resting much.
"It's not far from Shangwu City, so you should be able to get there by noon. Wu Yuxuan said in his heart,
And when they were hurrying in the grove,
Suddenly, three fish-headed monsters that looked like people and non-humans and non-Jiao sprang out and attacked the people of Xingluomen.
"Danger!" Wu Yuxuan dodged sideways, dodging the fatal attack. But the few disciples behind him were not so lucky.
"Ahh
"Bang!"
The two disciples were a little slower to react and died on the spot.
Wu Yuxuan was cold, and he almost died at the hands of this unknown monster.
"It's ...... Fish-people?"
After the attack was successful, the three fish-headed monsters attacked Wu Yuxuan and the remaining three disciples.
"Be careful!"
With a careful sound, everyone took out their staffs.
Wu Yuxuan held a staff in his left hand, and his right hand gestured in the air, drinking "Xuanfeng Technique!"
The wand swept out, bringing up several sharp wind blades to take the fish-headed monster directly. The three disciples behind him also attacked the other two monsters respectively.
In the face of the wind blade, the fish-headed monster did not dodge but advanced, and when the sharp wind blade came into contact with the monster, it only burst out with sparks, failing to cause fatal wounds to it.
"What!" Surprised to surprised, seeing the fish-headed monster attacking at him, Wu Yuxuan hurriedly retreated, wanting to distance himself from the monster in front of him, but the claws of the fish-headed monster's hands suddenly lengthened, and slashed towards Wu Yuxuan's chest.
Wu Yuxuan immediately decided to block the staff in front of his chest, but in the face of sharp claws, the staff was like a dead branch, and it didn't play much of a defensive role at all, and blood splashed in front of Wu Yuxuan's eyes, and three scars had already appeared on his chest.
Just when the fish-headed monster wanted to take advantage of the situation and kill again, Wu Yuxuan stroked the spell with both hands, and shouted "Explosion!"
Suddenly, the ground exploded, shaking Wu Yuxuan and the fish-headed monster into the air.
This spell is called "Earth Blast", which uses a spell to detonate the sand under the target's feet and kill the enemy. When Wu Yuxuan had nothing to do just now, he used this technique to detonate the sand between him and the fish-headed monster, and escaped from the attack range of the fish-headed monster with the impact generated by the explosion, but this impact also made Wu Yuxuan, who was already injured, even more injured.
On the other hand, the fish-headed monster that was shocked was not injured in the slightest. Instead, it adds to the madness.
"Hmm!" Hearing a scream, Wu Yuxuan turned his eyes and found that the remaining three disciples had also died under the monster, and their bodies were separated.
And in a corner not far away, a figure was staring coldly at everything that was happening in front of him, it was Murong Yan.
"The city lord said that only one person needs to enter the city alive, so let the 'Jiao Eel' carry out the next move. After speaking, Murong Yan drew a spell.
Seeing that all the disciples under his sect were dead, Wu Yuxuan's heart was filled with grief and indignation, and when he was about to sacrifice his life and seek the same fate, the three fish-headed monsters picked up the mutilated corpses of the Star Sect disciples and left.
The fish-headed monster that suddenly appeared, and then left inexplicably, the scene that happened just now was completely beyond the scope that Wu Yuxuan could understand.
However, the three deep bloodstains on his chest were telling him that he had to go to Shangwu City for help at this moment.
