At two o'clock, the three of them returned to the prison, just in time for the officials to deliver the morning food. Ling Shuang endured it for a long time, no longer cared about the appearance of eating, and took most of the food that was sent.

After a night of hard work, although the art of bigu can avoid hunger, it cannot eliminate fatigue. After Ling Shuang used it, Sima Wenzhi and the two of them took a few bites of food and began to close their eyes and recuperate. While you are pregnant and recuperate, think back to what happened last night.

I followed it all night, and almost nothing. Except for going around in circles with Xuan Jing, I didn't get any other useful news.

In fact, it was not for nothing last night.

When Xuan Jing took a few people in circles, he stopped in front of several courtyards, which should not be without purpose.

Human nature is inherently good, and human nature is inherently evil. The theory of good and evil, hundreds of years ago, the Confucian sages Mencius and Xunzi had different judgments. When speculating about Xuan Jing's purpose, the three chose the latter and condemned her as a villain.

Judging by the wicked, what Xuan Jing does must have a purpose. If it is related to the disappearance of the people of Chengdu County, what she did is similar to the stepping point before the thief steals.

Around noon, the three of them were refreshed. There was also a servant who brought a lunch, which was much more exquisite than the morning food. After the three of them used it, the official retreated, and before retreating, Xuan Feng ordered him to inform Liu Jie that the evening meal should be delivered before Shen Shi and could not be delayed.

Yesterday night, because of this matter almost went wrong. Before going today, the three of them had to have a full meal first, especially Ling Shuang.

As the time passed, Xuan Feng and the others went to the place where Xuan Jing finally landed. She didn't come out for a long time after she walked in, and it was an important place for her to stay, if not a permanent residence.

Sure enough, when the three of them were still dozens of feet away from there, Xuan Feng sensed that Xuan Jing was still in the courtyard.

When it was half-dark, Xuan Jing walked out of the courtyard. Compared to last night, this time she was no longer empty-handed, and she was holding a package in her arms, which contained a living thing.

After walking out of the courtyard, Xuan Jing went to the same village last night. A few people wanted to take a few steps to the front to wait and prepare, but they were worried that she would change her mind halfway, so they could only follow behind her as they had done yesterday.

Compared with yesterday, although Xuan Jing was much more vigilant, there was no change along the way. Soon after, Xuan Feng and the others walked into the village one after another, and saw Xuan Jing in front of a courtyard, fiddling with the living things in his hands.

Cultivation can make people's ears clear and their eyes clear, and they can see things at night after reaching the realm of gods and men. The three of them all have god-man realm cultivation, and Xuan Feng has reached the late stage, and Xuan Jing has just taken out the living creature from the cloth bag, and he recognized it.

With a long beak, a short neck, and a yellow feather body, the living creature that Xuan Jing took out was Birch. It is described in the Great Wilderness Sutra and the Strange Chronicles of Heaven and Earth, and this bird can devour the nightmares of sleeping people.

There are also records of Birch in Qingxuan Mountain, in addition to the description in the "Great Wilderness Sutra", if he is taught by evil arts, Birch can also eat people's souls. At the same time that Xuan Jing took it out, Xuan Feng knew that the disappearance of the people was indeed related to her.

After Xuan Jing took out the Birch bird, she took out a pill from her bosom and put it into its mouth. It didn't take long for Birch to start chirping, as recorded in the "Great Wilderness Sutra", miserable and terrifying.

After Birch chirped, it took less than a cup of tea for the courtyard door to open inward. Then a man walked out of the courtyard and stopped in front of Xuan Jing, his eyes a little glazed. Seeing this, Xuan Jing had another thing in his hand, and after he shook in front of him, there was no more light in the man's eyes.

At the same time, Xuan Jing took out a porcelain bottle from her arms and poured a little of the contents of the bottle on the man's body. There was no smoke or noise, and the man's flesh gradually melted, turning into blood and water, and then into nothingness.

When Xuan Jing was doing all this, Xuan Feng and the three of them were watching from a short distance and did not make a move to stop them.

During the day, several people expected what she would do at night, but they didn't think of the means to do it. At that time, the three of them had a choice, if they saw someone killed, they could not come to the rescue.

After making a move, you can indeed save the peasants and capture Xuan Jing. But the three of them didn't believe that she was the only one who did it, and after the incident, the matter would be even more tricky.

In order to save one person, he did not do his full work, resulting in more people losing their lives in the future, which is not saving people.

Weigh the pros and cons of doing things, and save more people's lives with the loss of one or more people, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, unless the person who is killed is a close friend or friend of several people.

Xuan Jing collected the soul in order, in the order of yesterday's inquiry. The ugly time has not yet come, and after a series of concoctions, yesterday she marked that the prey had been obtained. Then he was satisfied and walked the way he came.

When following Xuan Jing back, Xuan Feng was entangled in his heart. If she just returned to her suburban residence again, it was impossible to decide whether she would capture Xuan Jing or not.

If you take her, it is better to take it from the beginning, and you can save a few lives. If it can't be won, it is very likely that several more people will die tomorrow, and the balance of pros and cons will tilt again.

The entanglement didn't last long, and halfway back, Xuan Jing changed his route to the right and walked towards a place where several people had not been. After walking for about half an hour, a forest appeared at the end of the road.

When he was more than a hundred steps away from the woods, Xuan Jing stopped and looked around. After looking at it, he didn't continue to move forward, as if waiting for something.

It didn't take long for the sound of owls to be heard in the forest, and it took three consecutive times before it stopped. After the bird's call, Xuan Jing walked forward and walked into the woods.

Seeing this, Xuan Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

This person did have companions, and the previous choices of several people were not wrong, and the guilt in his heart plummeted. I just don't know if there are anyone else other than the people in the woods.

After Xuan Jing entered the woods, the three of them did not follow.

Xuan meditation is low, and it is impossible to detect a few people following. But her companion cultivation is unknown, and several people should be cautious.

But here is only a few hundred steps away from the place where the sound came from, and Xuan Feng can't know the location of that person, which means that this person knows how to restrain his breath, and his cultivation has at least reached the realm of gods and men.

After a stick of incense, after estimating that Xuan Jing and the person had converged, Xuan Feng no longer waited and sneaked into the forest alone. The situation in the forest was unknown, and he did not bring Sima Wenzhi and Ling Shuang, which was a decision after compromise.

The more he sneaked into the forest, the more the Xuanfeng became more restrained. While this reduces the likelihood of being detected by others, it also limits his ability to detect distant situations.

After a short time of cautious sneaking, he stopped and leaned against the giant trees in the forest to hide his figure. There was a flash of light less than a hundred paces ahead. The forest is dark, and the light is very conspicuous.

With the flash of light, Xuan Feng saw a person wearing a mask and performing a spell. Xuan Jing's previous magic weapon that collected the souls of the people in the county was being held in his hand by this person, and he extradited the souls to a banner beside him.

When the spell is cast, the masked man reveals his cultivation, which is the perfection of the god-man realm. When Xuan Feng found out, he took out a talisman from his bosom and placed it on the trunk of the tree beside him in case of accidents.

In between performing the spell, Xuan Jing said something to the masked man. The distance was far away, and Xuan Feng couldn't hear clearly, so he attracted the aura and probed carefully.

"Sect Master, why?" Xuan Jing's voice suddenly increased and changed tone, mixed with pain.

"I only asked you to send the soul banner nourishment, and I never asked you to bring anyone else here. When Xuan Jing was about to take a breath, the masked man responded coldly.
