Chapter 156: Evil Traces

"Daring maniac, you know who we are, we dare to peep here, and we don't leave quickly, lest we be killed later!" another woman blurted out.

The young Taoist priest sat lazily on the rock and said, "Yes." Dao Ye, I want to see who will save you, do you plan to stay in the water all the time?"

Murong Shanshui sneered, and the water around her and the other woman began to rotate rapidly, a layer of black light covered them, and the whirlpool grew bigger and bigger, surging high and holding the two of them on the water.

Murong Shanshui was already in the early stage of foundation building, and the condensation of Qi into Gang was much stronger than that of the Qi Refining Stage cultivator, and the Yuan Qi Gang cover turned into a black Taoist robe and wrapped her tightly in it.

The young Taoist priest watched them come out of the water unhurriedly, but there was a faint blood-colored light in his eyes, and the nails on the front of his two fingers actually grew an inch outward, and the cold light on his fingertips flickered, which was obviously quite extraordinary.

The other woman couldn't resist her hand at first, her arms outstretched, and the pool below rose with it, and she pushed forward sharply, and the raging waves of water overwhelmingly swept over.

These waters look ordinary, but in fact, with the blessing of the woman's Yuan Li, every drop of waves has a power comparable to that of an iron ball.

"Good time!"

The young Taoist priest's right hand slashed towards the void, and the surging water wave was split into several pieces like tofu, and the momentum suddenly weakened by half a bit, and it fell down before it reached him.

Murong Shanshui frowned secretly, the other party was really a mid-stage foundation building monk, and it was really a bit troublesome now. She glanced at the woman beside her, leaned forward, pushed her out of the way and said, "Go and inform the eldest brother and father!"

The woman hesitated for a moment, then quickly walked off the other side.

The young Taoist priest watched her leave and did not intercept her, and said to Murong Shan with a smile: "You still know me better, now there are only you and me left, just come to play in the water." ”

"Shameless fanatic, take your life!" Murong Shanshui had no scruples, and with a grasp of his right hand, countless water waves condensed into a water sword, his body unfolded, and he slashed it with a sword.

With a casual wave of his right hand, the young Taoist priest immediately broke the water sword in two, but unexpectedly, they soon merged into one piece and still slashed down.

"It's kind of interesting!" Although the young Taoist priest said it lightly, he actually didn't take it lightly, the reason why he let go of the other woman before was because he was not sure that he could take two of them at the same time.

However, with his cultivation realm, there would be no big problem in dealing with Murong Shanshui, who was a small realm lower.

I saw him chuckle, his figure floated backwards a few feet, dodging the oncoming sword, and then he stretched out his body again, and walked around behind Murong Shanshui in an incredible arc, and his right hand also took the opportunity to touch her cheeks!

Murong Shanshui had already avoided it with all his might, but he still hadn't dodged the other party's claws, and under his shame, he encouraged the Yuan Force of his whole body, and the water sword in his hand exploded, and a white invisible sword qi slashed directly at the opposite side.

But the young Taoist priest's figure is very ghostly, and he doesn't fight hard with her, and from time to time he says some obscene words and teases, which is completely playing tricks on Murong Shanshui.

Murong Shanshui now has to do his best, as long as he relaxes a little, he will be taken advantage of by the other party, and after a cup of tea, the Yuan Li is obviously weak, and even the black qi of the protective body has become a little weak, and some unspeakable places are looming.

The young Taoist priest felt that it was almost over, his spirit was shaking, and he was not polite, if the woman who left called for help, it would be a little troublesome later.

His strength was originally far above Murong Shanshui, and now that he was attacking with all his strength, Murong Shanshui would not be able to resist it.

The young Taoist priest smiled, and was about to clasp Mei Jiao'e's wrist, and then take it to a place where no one could do whatever he wanted, and suddenly as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake, the whole person popped back a few feet away, and two blood-red eyes looked around and said: "Who is it, who dares to hide in the dark and sneak attack this Taoist master!"

No one responded to his words, the corners of the young Taoist's mouth twitched a few times, and just now he was about to touch Murong Shanshui's wrist when he was stabbed on the back of his hand by an invisible spike.

He would never think that it was an accidental event, the other party could avoid his divine sense and plot against him, needless to say, his strength was definitely not weak.

The young Taoist priest is a figure who can afford to let go.

Seeing that no one responded, he immediately smiled and said, "Hehe, since this friend also has a crush on this woman, Dao Ye will fulfill you." Without looking back, he ran down the mountain.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and the woman's helper is estimated to be coming, since the woman has not been taken, and now there are other masters, it is better to go first.

Murong Shanshui wanted to die before, but what she didn't expect was that the situation would change so much, she looked around blankly, and the last words of the young Taoist priest still made her feel uneasy.

But no one showed up until Murong Shanjun arrived, but she knew that this was definitely not a young Taoist priest acting, and the other party could obviously control her at the previous moment, so there was no need to do that.

The only thing that can be explained now is that the person who secretly made the attack did not want her to know her identity, but there were a few masters around here who could silently force the young Taoist priest back, and in addition to his own people, there were only the three new Tianshui Sect monks on duty.

Of course, Wei Wuxian would not come out to meet with him, he could help the other party at the right time, but he didn't want to have too many entanglements with the Murong family.

In addition, his target was the young Taoist, and others might not be able to see the origin of the young Taoist, but he recognized it at a glance.

It's those evil cultivators again, I saw them in the Northern Regions, I encountered them in the Thousand Valleys, and now they have appeared in the Southern Xinjiang, what is the origin of these guys, and why do they have their shadows everywhere.

The feud between him and these evil cultivators could not be resolved, so the young Taoist priest chased after him as soon as he left, wanting to see where he would go and what purpose he had come here.

Although the cultivation of the young Taoist priest is a small realm higher than Wei Wuxian, the strength between them is just the opposite, Wei Wuxian's current strength is almost comparable to that of a monk in the late stage of foundation building, and with his divine sense, he can't sense Wei Wuxian's existence at all.

However, he is very cautious, just like he did with Murong Shanshui and another woman before, if he is not completely sure, he will endure and not make a move until the right opportunity arises.

He ran quickly down the hill, keeping an eye on the movement behind him from time to time, and deliberately showed his flaws several times to see if anyone was following behind.

The man who was hiding in the shadows put great pressure on him, and the other party could approach him silently, and plot against him, and his strength might only be above him, so he was extremely careful, and after a few tests, he went towards a secret valley.

Wei Wuxian didn't dare to get too close, after all, the other party was also a mid-stage foundation cultivator, and he didn't know if there were any other evil cultivators, so he was just hanging from a distance along the way.

The young Taoist priest was obviously much more relaxed than before after entering the Secret Valley, and after passing through a mess of rocks, he stopped, looked around, and then walked to a stone wall near the cliff.

A surprising scene appeared, the young Taoist priest's body actually passed directly through the stone wall and disappeared from Wei Wuxian's field of vision.

It's really weird!

This place is very close to the Nanqiao mining area, whether this evil cultivator's appearance here will have anything to do with the mining area, if so, it is even more important for him to take it lightly.

He didn't rush to the stone wall over there, since the other party had set up the entrance over there, there must be a mechanism nearby, and it was not yet time to alarm them.

Wei Wuxian stayed nearby for an hour, and when he saw that no one came out of it again, he turned back to the camp, this matter had to be carefully considered, how to let the Murong family and the other two fellow disciples know.

——————

The news of Murong Shanshui and another Murong family's woman having an attack soon spread among the Murong family, of course, the part that could not be said was hidden.

On the same day, the Murong family launched a carpet search, but after three consecutive days, the whereabouts of the thief were not found.

Jin Zhiyong and Bai Liqi also learned about this matter, but as the representatives of the Tianshui Sect on duty, they were not good at interfering in the affairs of the Murong family, but they were still quite concerned about the appearance of a suspicious mid-foundation building monk in the Nanqiao mining area, and Jin Zhiyong told Murong Yanbo that if they needed to help, they could help to a certain extent.

This is already a great support for them, Murong Yanbo felt five guilty, and sent several beautiful women with outstanding looks to the camp that night. No matter which sect the foundation is in the middle stage, they are all the backbone, and being able to make friends with them is undoubtedly of great benefit to the Murong clan.

Wei Wuxian declined the beauty sent by Murong Shanjun, he didn't have this hobby, and now he was bent on seeking the Tao, Jin Dan didn't consider this kind of thing that harmed Yuanyang before.

The Murong family searched for nearly a month, but still found nothing, Murong Yanbo thought that the person should have happened to pass by here, and now he may have left, so he ordered to stop the search and return to normal.

After searching for dozens of days in a row, the children of the Murong family also felt tired, and this decision made everyone rejoice, and they decided to take a good rest.

In the past two days, Murong Shanshui has also come to the camp several times, mainly to check the accounts with the people from the Tianshui Sect, and he came again today.

However, Wei Wuxian felt that this woman's eyes were watching and observing him, intentionally or unintentionally, and it was another member of the Murong family who had been checking the accounts all along, and the sudden change had to make him wonder, could it be that she had discovered something?

Sometimes I have to say that a woman's intuition is very sensitive, the more Murong Shanshui looked at Wei Wuxian, the more she felt that the person hiding behind at that time was him, thinking of the scene at that time, her face unconsciously flushed with a hint of redness, and she looked even more charming and moving under the light.

Wei Wuxian's heart fluttered when he saw it, and he hurriedly coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment.

Jin Zhiyong didn't notice this, and said: "There is no problem with the accounts, from the second half of the month, I will be on duty, Senior Brother Baili and Senior Brother Wei will rest, just come to me directly if there is anything." ”

"Well, there will be more work in the future, and the little sister will leave first. Murong Shanshui closed the account book, bowed slightly, and then turned around and left with the maid.

Bai Liqi watched her walk away and looked at Wei Wuxian and said, "Senior Brother Wei, this Murong Shanshui seems to be very concerned about you, do you have any ideas, if you have any ideas, I will talk about it for you, Senior Brother." ”

"Senior Brother Baili, don't laugh at Senior Brother, Senior Brother doesn't even have time to cultivate now, how can he have time to think about those things. Wei Wuxian said.

"Hey, is there such a thing?" Jin Zhiyong asked curiously.

"Didn't Senior Brother Jin see it, that Murong Shanshui had been paying attention to Senior Brother Wei before!" Bai Liqi laughed.

"This is a good thing, Senior Brother Wei, why, you don't look down on others?"

"How could it be..."Wei Wuxian felt that something was wrong as soon as he said this, and said to Jin Zhiyong: "Senior brother, you are digging a pit and let me jump down!"

The three of them joked in the camp, but when Murong Shanshui came out of the camp, he couldn't help but look back at the camp gate, still thinking about the previous things in his mind.

"Miss, Childe is here. ”

Murong Shanshui turned around and saw his brother Murong Shanjun coming over from the front with a few people.

"What's going on?"

Seeing Murong Shanjun's serious expression, she knew that something big must have happened.

"Let's go, let's go back. Murong Shanjun glanced at the barracks and said.

The group returned to the Murong family's manor at the foot of the mountain, the manor was different from usual, the lights were bright, and many clansmen gathered in the square, some of them were clearly still choking, and they didn't know what happened.

Murong Shanshui walked quickly in front of her father Murong Yanbo, and now she didn't need to ask, she already knew the reason for the matter.

In the middle of the square lay thirteen corpses, all pale and bearing signs of gnawing on their necks.

"There wasn't a single speck of blood on them, and they suspected that some animal had sucked them dry. Murong Yanbo said.

"Animals... It's not like it!" Murong Shanshui bent down to carefully examine the corpse's neck, and found that the wound was very blunt, as if it had been bitten by a human with his teeth.

"You can also see that these corpses were found in the outer farms, they are all from our foreign clan, and now they are all panicking and begging to come to the clan. ”

At this time, an old man cried and knelt at Murong Yanbo's feet: "Patriarch, you must avenge them!"

Some other foreign clansmen also stepped forward and knelt down, pleading constantly, the corpses on the ground were their dearest, and their hearts were so painful that they couldn't care about other etiquette and occasions.

Murong Yanbo helped the old man up and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely get justice for you." ”

Half an hour later, all the high-ranking members of the Murong family gathered in the meeting hall, and the time when this incident happened was not long after the time when the mysterious mid-stage foundation building monk came last time, and it was likely that there was a connection between the two.

————————

On the other side, Wei Wuxian also left the camp not long after Murong Shanshui and Murong Shanjun and his party left, he had a month's leave, as long as he didn't stay away from the Nanqiao mine, he could do whatever he wanted.

Coming to the Migu Valley where he had been last time, he hid on the side and asked the Yin Ghost Ah Cai to go out and check.

A little yin ghost won't cause much movement, and there won't be any problems with him taking care of it from behind.

Yin Ghost Ah Cai now lives alone in a soul bottle, Wei Wuxian immediately purchased one for it after returning to Tianshui Sect, for such a considerate boss, Yin Ghost Ah Cai was moved and didn't know how to express it, and now he was summoned, full of energy, and floated towards the chaotic stone group opposite.

Wei Wuxian signed a ghost contract with it, and the yin ghost Ah Cai did not rush to the stone wall, but walked around to see if there were any traps set up.

Not to mention, after a few turns, I found that there were several small prohibitions hidden around.

These prohibitions are not esoteric or aggressive, but if you are not careful, it is difficult to notice, and if you touch them, they will alert the person who set the ban that someone has broken in.

After inspecting the surroundings, Wei Wuxian bypassed the prohibitions and came to the stone wall.

This place is actually an illusion, the stone wall does not exist at all, and under the divine sense, it is clearly a high passage in front of it.

Wei Wuxian stepped into it carefully, and the yin ghost Ah Cai followed aside, sometimes the yin thing had an advantage in this environment that ordinary people could not have.

At least the darkness is like day for them, they can clearly see the situation around them and feed back to Wei Wuxian around them.

The passage was longer than he had expected, all the way down, and after about a cup of tea, a hazy light appeared in front of him.

It was a stone room of about ten square meters, and there were four people dressed in coarse cloth and gray clothes sitting around a stone table, and their clothes reminded him of the evil cultivator he called 'Wang Dashi' when he was in the Thousand Canyons.

The four of them were all seventh- or eighth-level cultivators in the Qi refining period, and Wei Wuxian exploded almost instantly, his body entered it like a ghost, and before the four of them could react, they were cut open and fell to the ground.

He didn't intend to keep his mouth alive when he made a move, these evil cultivators all entered the demon barrier one by one, and they couldn't ask anything from their mouths at all.

He looked around, and noticed something unusual on the ground near the wall on the right, and his mind swept it to reveal that there was a passage below.

When he opened the partition above, a strong smell of blood gushed out from below, he frowned, and the main breath of the screen dived inside, the terrain became lower and lower, and the smell of blood became heavier and heavier, and finally reached the bottom, in front of him was Zhang Shimen, and the smell of blood came out of the cracks in the stone door.

He suddenly felt very dangerous, just like when he first found the Snake Pan Mountain Valley, and there was a feeling in front of him that made his heart palpitate.

It had already reached this point, and he could know the truth by pushing open the stone door, which made him hesitate for a moment.

Eventually, though, he removed his hand from the stone door, and then slowly backed away, returning to the top the way he came.

Sure enough, the feeling of danger after leaving was gone, and he searched the four evil cultivators, but found nothing except a few bloody blades and some filth.

Before leaving, he set fire to the four corpses to minimize the traces before exiting the passage.

All the way, he wondered what would be behind the stone gate, making his spirit so uneasy.

You must know that his current strength is comparable to that of a monk in the late stage of foundation building, and the things that can make him feel afraid must not be simple, is there an evil thing in the Jindan stage in it?

Again, it seems unlikely.

If there was an evil thing in the Jindan period hidden in it, he would have been discovered by the other party a long time ago, and it would be impossible to escape.

Wei Wuxian was secretly speechless, originally thinking that it would be an easy errand, but since the appearance of that mid-foundation building evil cultivator, the situation has begun to become complicated.
