This meal, Hu Yan didn't eat well. After all, there is something in my heart, and there is a big beauty sitting next to her, which is more or less a little uncomfortable.

After eating, the things mentioned earlier were finally put on the agenda. Hu Yan didn't beat around the bush, and directly raised a question: "Two seniors, this time the murder incident related to Maoshan Taoism is widely implicated, not only such a tragic thing happened near Maoshan, but even the same thing happened in Wudu. After investigation, it was verified that the victim did die under the Maoshan Taoist technique, and was drained of blood and removed from his soul. According to Brother Zhuang, the victim died under the Maoshan Soul Separation Technique, and those who used this method must have practiced the Soul Cultivation Technique. The art of soul cultivation is a forbidden technique in Maoshan, and there shouldn't be many people who understand it, I want to know, how many people in the Maoshan sect have practiced this kind of exercise?"

The nonsense is straightforward, but everyone thinks it is not abrupt.

When Daoist Mao heard this, his face sank slightly and said, "Zhuang Bai has already reported this matter to Poor Dao yesterday. This soul cultivation technique has always been forbidden to be practiced in my Maoshan Mountain. The classics are secretly stored in the secret compartment, and no one knows about it except me and my junior brother. That's where I wondered. ”

Hu Yan thought for a while and said, "Then this forbidden technique is still in the dark now?"

Mao Daochang nodded and said, "Last night, my junior brother and I opened the secret grid to check, and found that it was not lost, and there was no trace of it being opened. Moreover, this dark grid has already laid out a magic circle, and ordinary people have no way to open it. ”

Hu Yan pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, except for the two seniors, no one should be able to access this soul cultivation technique?"

"Hu Yan, what do you mean by this, do you want to say that these murders were done by my master and the master of the family?" A man named Leng Qian, who was sitting on the side, stood up abruptly and looked at Hu Yan with an angry face. He is a disciple of Zhuang Bai's uncle Wang Daoliang, and his strength is even higher than Zhuang Bai's, and he has cultivated the art of talismans. There is something extraordinary between the gestures. It's just that the personality is like his name, cold and lifeless, although he is highly respected in the Maoshan faction, he rarely has contact with people, but he has a good relationship with Jin Ningyun, he has traveled abroad over the years, and he heard that there was an accident in the master some time ago, and he only returned to Maoshan this morning.

Seeing this, Hu Yan hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Leng misunderstood, I, I didn't mean that!"

Zhuang Bai also played a round on the side and said, "Senior Brother Leng, Brother Hu really didn't mean that. Don't be impatient, and listen to Brother Hu. ”

"Qian'er is rude, Hu Yan Xiaoyou is my honored guest of Maoshan, and it is normal to have this question when I came to assist me in tracking down the truth in Maoshan this time. Wang Dao Chang glared at Leng Qian and said in a deep voice.

Leng Qian looked at Hu Yan coldly, sat down, but a pair of eyes stared at Hu Yan, and Hu Yan's back was cold, as if he had a feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake.

"Little friend of nonsense, don't be weird!" Seeing that Hu Yan was as quiet as a cicada, Wang Daochang hurriedly reassured.

Hu Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, and blame me for being too abrupt." ”

At this time, Mao Daochang said: "This soul cultivation technique has always been hidden in the secret grid, except for me and my junior brother, no one else can contact it at all. However, although my junior brother and I have seen this secret technique, we have not practiced it, first, this forbidden technique is too difficult to practice, and secondly, practicing this forbidden technique requires a lot of resentful spirits to guide it. ”

The sincerity of what Mao Daochang said did not seem to be concealed. Hu Yan nodded and said, "Daoist Mao, I believe in you." However, there must be a reason for this forbidden art to appear. Could it be that you have inadvertently leaked the method of cultivation, and that someone with a heart has secretly practiced it?"

"This ......" Daochang Mao and Dao Wang glanced at each other, and their faces sank.

"Nonsense, you don't have to inch in......" Leng Qian heard Hu Yan ask, his face became more and more cold,

Zhuang Bai patted Hu Yan's shoulder and said slowly: "Brother Hu just has this question, why should Senior Brother Leng be angry." ”

Leng Qian said with a cold face: "I think he is deliberately looking for fault, are you still turning your elbow out of Zhuang Bai's matter?"

Zhuang Bai smiled and said: "Senior Brother Leng's words are wrong, although Brother Hu's words are a little excessive, but it is just to find out the truth of the matter." ”

Leng Qian snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid he has ulterior motives." ”

Zhuang Bai's face changed slightly, and he was about to speak, but he saw Jin Ningyun, who had been sitting on the side, stand up and said, "Senior Brother Leng, don't be angry. This matter is already full of suspicions, and raising nonsense on the basis of facts is more conducive to ascertaining the truth. This is powerful and harmless to the Honke. What's more, now that foreign enemies are waiting, Brother Hu still dares to correct the name of my Maoshan faction, how can he say it with ulterior motives. Senior Brother Leng, you are too suspicious. ”

"Senior Sister Ningyun, you ......" Leng Qian didn't expect Jin Ningyun to speak for Hu Yan, he looked at Jin Ningyun in disbelief, and after a while, he gave a salute to the two masters, flicked his sleeves, and left angrily.

"This ......" Everyone didn't expect this cold and humble reaction to be so intense, and they couldn't help but feel a little stupid when they saw him leave.

Things have come to this point, and Hu Yan knows that there is no need to ask any more, and obviously he can't ask why, but for Jin Ningyun, who is righteous and insistent, Hu Yan is still full of gratitude, and can't help nodding to her, and said: "Maybe I didn't take everyone's feelings into account." I'm sorry. ”

Zhuang Bai smiled and said, "It's okay, Senior Brother Leng has always had this temperament. You don't have to worry too much. ”

Hu Yan smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that this matter is far from being as simple as we think. ”

Zhuang Bai nodded with a calm face: "Maybe there is something unknown in this." It's just that we didn't find out. ”

Hu Yan pondered for a moment, bowed to the two seniors and said: "Daochang Mao, Daoist Wang, Hu Yan is too eager to find out the truth, if there is anything offensive about the gaffes, I hope the two seniors don't mind, I have no malicious intentions." ”

Mao Daochang waved his hand, smiled and said: "Xiaoyou is polite, you can be so honest, it is the blessing of my Maoshan Mountain." Where to offend. ”

Wang Daochang also said: "That's right, in order to track down this murder case, Xiaoyou came from thousands of miles away, which is enough to see that you are a sincere person." It's my unsuccessful disciple who is angry about this little thing, hey......" Wang Dao Chang sighed, and it was difficult to hide the disappointment on his face.

Zhuang Bai saw that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, so he said: "I think it is not an overnight matter to find out about this matter, so it is better to come here today." Hu Yan They have just arrived in Maoshan and haven't walked around yet, why don't you let me and Ning'er accompany them to enjoy the scenery of Maoshan Mountain?"

"It's okay! Zhuang Bai, you can take the three little friends around. But don't go down the mountain for the time being, lest you have another conflict with the Zhengyi Sect and make trouble to the point where it is difficult to clean up. Mao Daochang sighed, and it was difficult to hide the loneliness on his face. The Maoshan faction has always been a high-ranking sect in the cultivation realm, but because of a strange murder case, it ended up so far, which is really helpless.

But this is also a helpless thing, although the Maoshan faction seems to be beautiful on the surface in the past hundred years, but in fact there has been a trend of decline, in this period of green and yellow, only two old generations are struggling to support here, and the younger ones can be on the stage Zhuang Bai, Jin Ningyun, and Leng Qian. And the two brothers of the Leng family, one has a too cold personality and is not calm enough to do things, which is embarrassing and useful. Another exercise is good, but he is away all the year round, and now the Maoshan faction is in calamity and has not returned, how can this not make Mao Daochang sentimental.

However, Zhuang Bai and Jin Ning'er were running back and forth for the Maoshan faction during this time, and they worked hard, which made the old Taoist priest feel at ease.

"By the way, Ning Yun, you haven't seen Ning'er for a long time, so you can go with them. ”

Jin Ningyun smiled and nodded: "Got it, master!"

The old Taoist priest smiled and walked out of the dining hall with Wang Daochang, and suddenly Jin Ningyun felt that the backs of the master and uncle were obviously much older.

Her nose was a little sour, and she sighed slightly: "The master and uncle are old. ”

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Jin Ning'er asked with a puzzled expression.

Jin Ningyun shook her head and said with a faint smile: "It's okay." It's just a little sentimental. In the future, we will have to share more burdens for our master and uncle. ”

"Yun'er is right. After all, the revitalization of the Maoshan faction in the future will depend on our generation. Zhuang Bai smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand and patted Jin Ning'er's little brain melon seeds and said, "You girl will have to collect snacks in the future, don't let the master worry too much." ”

Jin Ning'er stuck out her tongue and said, "It's okay for you and my sister to do the affairs of the master, so why don't you worry about me." I'm going to be a loose fairy in the future, and I'm going to travel around with the stinky boys. ”

"You......" Zhuang Bai rubbed Jin Ning'er's head, and sighed with hatred.

Wu Qiu said: "Come on, the fierce girl wants to travel and practice with us, and you don't ask us if we agree." ”

Jin Ning'er puffed out her cheeks, crossed her waist and said, "This girl is willing to travel with you, it is your blessing, do you dare to agree." ”

"We're really not blessed. Wu Qiu pursed his mouth and said.

"You ......" Jin Ning'er was suddenly furious, pointing at Wu Qiu and said, "I see that you have itchy skin again, right?" ”

Wuqiu grimaced at Jin Ning'er, and said with a hippie smile: "It's just itchy skin, what's the matter." Come and hit me......"

"Bastard......" Jin Ning'er roared angrily, baring her teeth and rushing towards Wuqiu.

Without howling, she ran outside like a smoke, and Jin Ning'er chased after her like an angry tigress. Hu Yan and Ziling glanced at each other, smiled and followed.

"These guys!" Zhuang Bai smiled bitterly and looked at the struggling Wuqiu and Jin Ning'er, helpless.

"It seems that Ning'er likes them very much. Jin Ningyun said with a smile.

Zhuang Bai nodded and said, "Although they often quarrel like this, it can be seen that Ning'er really likes them very much." To be honest, if you stay with them for a long time, you will also be infected by them. ”

"Really?" Jin Ningyun said dumbfoundedly!
