Although the scenery of Zhongnan Mountain is pleasant, it is a pity that several passers-by have unrelieved sorrows in their hearts, and they really don't have the heart to linger in the pleasing scenery!

Descending to the foot of the mountain, according to what the previous Pingsong Daoist said, since the poison in the body of the half-qin contains the strange poison of southern Xinjiang, this is the only clue at present, then the party to southern Xinjiang may be able to find a way to rescue him!

Banqin has never had a say a lot about anything, at least not to anyone. Yang Chen originally had this idea in his heart, but he just felt Banqin's mood, but he didn't seem to have any expectations!

And in his opinion, Banqin just didn't want others to worry about himself, so he looked ambiguous. But in fact, for Banqin, the past of his life is only what happened, the present is only happening, and the future is completely equal to zero! Even now, the value of life is still not a very clear feeling for him, and it makes no difference whether he continues to live or dies immediately.

After walking for a few more days, the few people gradually saw the scene of many different races living together, and they secretly became more careful! At least until they found a way to detoxify Banqin, they didn't want to get involved too much!

The inn is not luxurious, but clean. Lulu, a young girl, didn't pay much attention to the fatigue of running around for days, but felt that the sweaty and dirty clothes were really uncomfortable on her body!

Except for the stranger who held the wine jar as soon as he entered the door and didn't let go, the other four people all went back to the guest room to take a bath and changed into clean clothes. When I returned to the dining hall, I saw that he was already a little smoky, so I immediately ignored it and tasted the local food.

In the evening, there are more and more diners in the inn. A few people happened to hear the guests at the next table talking in a low voice!

"Did you hear that there is a village in the western suburbs, and there were people dead yesterday?"

In the past few months, the surrounding villages have been inexplicably dead in the middle of the night. I heard that there are ghosts at work!"

"Hey, I don't know if there are ghosts, but I've heard that those people died really miserably! Not to mention the injuries all over the body, even the blood was sucked dry, anyway, it really doesn't look like a human thing......

Hearing this, Banqin suddenly trembled, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously.

The guests at the next table looked at the voice, and a contemptuous smile appeared on their faces, apparently thinking that their words had frightened the young man.

Of course, a few people knew that it was not like that, Yang Chen lowered his head and picked up the chopsticks and pretended to be kind: "Second brother, going out is not as good as at home, no matter how bad the food is, you will order it, don't play with the child's temper at every turn......"

The guests at that table couldn't help but show a little disappointment on their faces, and regretted that their stories were not as charming as they imagined! But looking at Banqin's delicate and handsome appearance, and his expression was extremely cold, they all thought that it was really this rich boy who couldn't change the temper of the pampered young master when he came out to hang out!

slept until midnight, Yang Chen saw in a haze that Banqin was looking at the moon by the window, and the expression on his face was extremely cold, but he could obviously see the loneliness in his heart!

After waking up, Yang Chen sighed lightly in his heart, sat up on the side of the bed and asked softly, "Are you still worried about what those people said during the meal?"

Banqin looked out the window quietly, and didn't look back!" They are right, how could that kind of thing be driven out by people......

"Hey......"

Gently getting out of bed and walking behind him, Yang Chen reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "You don't have to think so much, after all, that's not what you want to do, and besides, the dead people around here have nothing to do with you!"

"But sooner or later I'm going to be like that, and I'm going to kill a lot of innocent people. Even if it's not my own willingness, can I treat it as my business?"

Sighing softly, Yang Chen asked slowly: "Banqin, let me ask you." If you had killed those bandits in Goldtown, would you regret it today?"

Glancing at him, Banqin slowly shook his head: "No!"

"Why?"

"At least they're not damned, are they?"

Yang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "That's right! With what they did, they deserve to be punished! Besides, if they really kill them, no one can be sure that they will definitely change their ways if they are alive! But ...... I stopped you from killing them for the sake of the long term, because even if they all died, they wouldn't be able to mitigate the damage they had done. On the contrary, if we can give them a chance to change their ways, we can help more people. Besides, don't they all have a pitiful past of their own?"

"I know, but I'm different from them, they can change their ways, they can be ordinary people again. But sooner or later I won't be able to control myself, and I won't be able to turn back. ”

"But that day you still had us, the old man, and the robbers, but you still killed the horse in the end. In fact, you're already controlling yourself, aren't you?"

"But who can guarantee that I will be able to control it every time, and besides, isn't that horse innocent......?"

"I know you're kind by nature, and you would never want to hurt anyone, even a horse, if you could, so I want you to remember that as long as you can keep the good thoughts in your heart at this moment, and believe that you can do it, you will definitely be able to defeat your demons!"

With a wry smile, Banqin looked at him with a slight sarcasm on his face: "Do you understand? My problem is not your so-called demons, but ......"

"But it's not uncontrollable!"

Banqin frowned slightly, and asked for a while: "Why do you believe me?"

"You're my friend!"

"Friends?"

"Yes, just as you believe in me and leave the matter of Golden Town to me, I also believe that you can overcome yourself! No matter what happens, you have friends who will never leave you and will firmly guard you......!"

Early the next morning, the five gathered in the dining hall for breakfast. Maybe because it was morning, there were a lot fewer guests than last night. A few people were about to go on the road after eating, but when they saw a few people walking in at the door, their faces were full of sadness and they couldn't stop sighing!

"Hey, what a pitiful! It's been a long time, and five more people died last night, and there is still no clue from the yamen. Don't you see, the death of those people is really terrifying......"

When the five of them walked out of the inn, Yang Chen was quite hesitant in his heart! Speaking from his heart, he really wanted to eliminate harm for the people, find out the murderer, punish the traitor, and eliminate the evil. But Banqin's situation really makes him dare not delay, after all, it is more dangerous to find a way to rescue him a moment later.

Seeing his hesitation, Xianzhen slowly mentioned: "We have important things to do now, so it's better to be less nosy!"

Glancing at him, Yang Chen sighed bitterly in his heart, and scolded with his eyebrows: "Stinky Daoist, what kind of are you talking about? What is idle business? People in the martial arts are not saved when they see danger, you still have a fart to ......."

"Stinky monk! If there is chaos today, there are dead people everywhere, if you take care of everything, then do you want to ......?"

Seeing that the two were arguing, Yang Chen hurriedly stopped: "Don't quarrel first! Quarrel won't solve the problem, I think it's better to ask for half a ......."

As he was talking, several people were surprised to see that Banqin had already walked in the opposite direction. Hurriedly catching up, Yang Chen grabbed him and asked, "Banqin, where are you going?"

"Go find the murderer!"

Several people looked at each other in astonishment! In fact, how could Xianzhen be willing to see danger and not save him? But in any case, Banqin's situation is the most important thing at the moment, otherwise he would have gone to look for clues when he heard about it last night! And now that Banqin has already made a choice, no matter whether others want it or not, he can't change it!

I walked around the village where the latest murder occurred and asked the surrounding villagers about the murder case. It is said that all the deceased were young boys and girls under the age of 16, and they all died in the middle of the night, and no one noticed anything unusual. The deceased were all found in a deserted place early in the morning, and each body was covered in scars, but the fatal injuries were said to have been bitten and choked and the blood was sucked dry.

Several people looked at each other, and they couldn't help but think of the dark horse in Golden Town. According to the villagers' guidance to the place where the body was found, several people went to check it one after another, but did not find any clues. It's just that every time he goes to a place, Banqin's face seems to react.

Standing at the scene of the last murder, Yang Chen hesitated and asked, "Banqin, did you find anything?"

After pondering for a long time, Banqin slowly looked around: "I smelled a smell, which is very similar to the smell of smoke released during the afternoon at the Yixia Villa......

Although it was not unexpected, hearing him say that this matter might really be related to the Demon Palace, and the five of them were really alone. Moreover, this remote village is barren and desolate, and there are no great martial arts sects, why would the Demon Palace kill people everywhere here?

Walk up a small hill and the mountains near and far are densely wooded. According to the nearby villagers, some generations of people who have lived here have never heard of any beasts nearby, and the scars on the bodies of the dead are indeed not made by humans.

Finally, Yidao felt a little impatient and asked: "I said that there is no way to look for it so blindly, or let's go to the village and wait to see, maybe this guard is really waiting for the rabbit!"

Xianzhen glanced at him and snorted coldly: "First, the murderer's murder will never be repeated in one place, and according to the nearby villagers, there are dozens of villages within a radius of 100 miles, which one do you say we should go to?"

Hearing this, the other way was angry and asked, "Then what do you say? Is it difficult to see the four of them ignore it?"

"I didn't say it didn't matter! I just wanted to say that don't startle the snake when the situation is unclear. It's best to find some helpers as soon as possible, and hopefully try to catch the murderer in one fell swoop!"

What Xianzhen said is not unreasonable, but saving people is like fighting a fire, how can people wait with peace of mind?

After pondering for a long time, Xuelu said slowly: "Judging from the situation of the murder case in the past few days, the murderer's direction seems to be south. But there is one thing that I think is very strange! Because if the murderer really wants to practice by absorbing the essence and blood of the living, but the deceased is both male and female, how can these yin and yang qi be compatible?"

"In other words, no matter how many people there are on the other side, there should be more than one murderer who needs to use human blood?"

"That's right, and I don't think the murderer's purpose is just to kill people and suck blood......

Banqin nodded slowly: "The smell I smelled is very light, although it has been a night, but it is indeed much lighter than the poisonous fog emitted by Tengwu that day." But if the murderer's purpose is only to kill people and suck blood, there is absolutely no need to release the poisonous mist with his cultivation. ”

Xuelu smiled and nodded: "Not bad! It's still Banqin's head turning fast, but his expression is too stiff......"

At this moment, even the funniest jokes can't break the heavy atmosphere!

Coughing lightly, Xuelu broke the embarrassment by herself: "It's just that I also feel that instead of waiting, it's better to take the initiative." After all, even if we find a target now, if there is really more than one murderer, it will be difficult to really solve the problem completely!"

"But junior sister, where should we go now?"

"Well, it's going to look at the half-piano......"

Stunned, Banqin comprehended. And Xianzhen was the first to object: "No! That smell will stimulate the blood poison in his body to Banqin, and he must not be allowed to get close!"

"But now that you can only find the murderer's hiding place by smell, is there a better way for you?"

"But if something happens, who can bear the consequences?"

The solution is good, but the opposition is by no means alarmist! Only by going deep into the enemy's lair and finding the root cause can the crisis be completely eradicated, but there is probably a danger that Banqin will never recover, except for the murderer. Once the situation in the Righteous Heroes Villa is restored, who can stop Banqin?

After a while, Banqin suddenly nodded: "Then let me try!"

Xianzhen was shocked when she heard this, and immediately shook her head again and again: "No, you must not take risks." In case the blood poison in your body is affected, you will regret it at that time!"

"I know, but that's the only way to do it now. If something really happens, I'll cut myself off immediately!"

Everyone was frightened when they heard this, and Xuelu pouted: "Look at you big men, how big things are! Don't you forget, didn't Daoist Pingsong give two Pure Heart Pills?"

Several people were stunned for a moment! Banqin slowly took out the wooden box, took out a Pure Heart Pill and put it in his mouth. Mo Yun's internal strength, the qi and blood that fluctuated slightly at the right time really smoothed out immediately.

"This Pure Heart Pill really works, I feel much better now......"

Xianzhen frowned slightly when she saw it, although it is worth being happy that the Pure Heart Pill is effective. But after taking it, it is equivalent to really limiting the life span of Banqin, and if he can't find a cure for him within a year, then he can only make up his mind to end his life! So since he left the Quanzhen Sect, Xianzhen has never mentioned Master's elixir, and this feeling of suffering from gains and losses has really tormented him for many days! But now, what else can he say?

Life is often full of this kind of choices that people can't weigh calmly, and it is naturally a normal tendency for people to have more advantages than disadvantages, but after really discovering the results, they will always suddenly feel that their original choice may not be really right. But now that the choice has been made, there is no turning back.

No one can see any results in advance, and this is the only thing that can truly be called wonderful in the scenery encountered in the journey of life. But whether it is really wonderful or not is not actually the scenery itself, but what kind of mood to feel!
