Stray Chapter 37: It was so dark that I couldn’t see it clearly
"Oh, I remember..." Yun Tianhe nodded clearly, and then asked with some doubts, "But what are they doing here?"
"You ask me who I'm going to, maybe because they are immortal cultivators. They happened to pass by Shouyang City and heard about the monsters hurting people, so they came to see it?" Han Lingsha thought more and more The more I felt this was the case, the tone was quite certain.
And the two of them can't control their swords at the moment, they can only walk, so it's normal to leave footprints in the cave.
"Yes or no, we can find out when we rush over." Liu Mengli thought for a while and suggested softly.
The other two didn't have any opinion. They wanted to see it, so they accelerated their pace and followed the very obvious traces in their eyes. They searched and tracked them all the way, much faster than before.
Because it was confirmed that this route was not long ago, the poisonous insects and poisonous weeds along the way were cleaned up first, so it saved the three people a lot of trouble, and there was no need to carefully identify the road in the intricate caves, Confused about which direction to go, the speed will naturally increase.
About a quarter of an hour later, the three of them had already penetrated into the depths of the cave, and faintly heard the voice of a conversation coming from the front. After looking at each other, they speeded up their pace.
"...Such a fierce swordsmanship, it turns out that a single sword pierces the heart..."
"...It's Uncle Ziying! It must be Uncle Ziying who has such ability, I'll just say..."
The gentle voice of a man and the chattering of a little girl came from the dark space in front of her. Han Lingsha was overjoyed, feeling that she was finally turning around today, and subconsciously accelerated her pace.
Huai Shuo and Xuanji were aware of the arrival of the three of them, and they looked back vigilantly. After seeing who was coming, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sure enough, it's the two of you, we met again, it's really fate..." Han Lingsha greeted with a smile, and spared no effort to brush the favorability of the two opposite.
"It turned out to be Miss Han, but yesterday's problem has been solved?" Huai Shuo bowed his hand in return, and asked gently.
"Why is it you again? Are you following me and my senior brother..." The little girl beside her pouted her mouth unhappily and looked at the three people in front of her with suspicious eyes.
"Xuanji!"
Huai Shuo looked at him with reproach and reprimanded softly, with a serious and serious expression.
The little girl flinched and snorted, but she didn't say anything. It could be seen that although she was usually self-willed, it was all based on Huai Shuo's ability to talk. Once the latter became really strict, she would also will be afraid.
"No, this little sister, don't think about it, I didn't follow you... ahem, that's it, we were entrusted by Shouyang County magistrate Mr. Liu to come here to calm the demon. That's it, just happened to meet you..."
Han Lingsha waved her hands again and again and explained, the main purpose was to eliminate misunderstandings and not cause Xuanji's hostility.
Although she really wanted to make a request to join the other party's sect immediately, she also knew the truth of friendship. Everyone had only met each other until now, and they were not even familiar with each other.
"So that's the case, then we're a step too late..." Huai Shuo smiled politely.
"A step slower?" The girl in red froze slightly.
"What the **** is going on here?"
Liu Mengli frowned and looked past Huai Shuo and the two to see the crime scene. Unlike Han Lingsha, she focused all her attention on Huai Shuo and Xuanji, full of thoughts. How to talk or get closer.
So at this time, she had already seen clearly the scene in the darkness ahead. It was shockingly tragic. Brown, and the surrounding soil too.
A half-human-sized animal corpse that looked like a giant rabbit fell on the ground, as if to show that a terrible massacre had occurred in the depths of the cave not long ago, and these locust monsters were powerless to fight back Just got slaughtered.
"Yeah...this..."
Han Lingsha noticed the dim scene behind the two sword immortals later, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise.
"This is someone who killed all the monsters? Then don't we have to do anything?" Yun Tianhe scratched his head.
"That's not the case, Young Master Yun, we're just here to find out why the Huai Yao would suddenly hurt people, not necessarily to get rid of the demon."
Liu Mengli shook her head when she heard the words, she lightly picked up her long eyelashes, her tone was still flat——
"Huai Yao has always been mild-mannered, there should be some reason..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped, turned to look at the direction behind her, and said, "Someone is coming again."
About the same time—
"It turns out that you guys are here, but I'm looking for a good meal..." A crisp voice sounded abruptly, causing everyone to be shocked.
Everyone turned their heads in unison, looked in a certain direction subconsciously, and saw a delicate figure walking slowly out of the darkness.
It was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, with fair complexion, a few locks of hair scattered on her forehead, and a light and slender body. He was also dressed in a blue shirt and white clothes, with a long sword hanging from his waist, which was exactly the same as Huai Shuo and Xuanji's dressing style.
"Senior Sister Xiuyu?!"
Xuanji screamed out in surprise, and she suddenly regained her spirits. Her whole body moved faster than her voice and rushed over, hugging her little sister who was not much older than herself and rubbing hard——
"Senior Sister Xiuyu, why are you here?"
"Uncle Ziying hasn't returned to the mountain gate yet, and the two of you haven't returned for a long time. The master ordered me to go down the mountain to check..."
The girl named Xiuyu sighed, and with some disgust she stretched out her hand to push away Xuanji, who was sticking like a koala. It's just that the other party is holding her tightly, her strength has not been fully recovered, and she has not invested in strength after adding a little more, so she failed to succeed.
"So that's the case, but Uncle Ziying was just delayed for a while because of me, and will be back soon..." Xuanji finally let go of her, and she started chattering with excitement. As if taking credit for himself, "Senior Sister Xiuyu, look at these monsters, they were all killed by Uncle Ziying..."
Finding out that the visitor was not an enemy or some dangerous monster, Han Lingsha breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time couldn't help but muttered in her heart, are all immortal cultivators so young? In the end is it a talent, or is it a skill?
"He killed all of them?" Xiuyu frowned, glanced at the corpses of the Huai Yao, and couldn't help but wonder.
Is this a branch line? That guy actually doesn't do anything. Could it be that he is so rich and powerful that he can't look down on the little meat of these mosquito legs? But even if you don't need points and karma crystals, there are still earth spirit beads, right?
She suppressed the doubts in her heart, walked over, squatted down and carefully inspected the corpse of the Huai Yao on the ground, and the doubts in her heart became even stronger.
Really do nothing? Or did something unexpected happen that caused it to be delayed?
Everyone looked at each other, and they all stepped forward to check it. The conclusions were basically the same. All the locust demons were killed by a sword piercing their hearts. They were extremely sharp and precise. Late last night...
And at this time—
"What a brilliant illusion!"
Liu Mengli seemed to have finally discovered something. She opened her eyes slightly and couldn't help but exclaimed.
“…”
“…”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looking at the girl who looked like a fairy.
Xiuyu thought for a moment, then asked in a very strange tone, "You say this...is an illusion?"
"That's right, all of this is just an illusion. I'm afraid that even the person who started it didn't realize it. What I killed was just a phantom..." Liu Mengli replied with a light nod, a complicated look flashed in her eyes. , After looking around for a while, he fixedly stared at a certain position among the crowd.
"You are talking nonsense! How could Uncle Ziying be deceived by this method..." Xuanji became anxious and shouted loudly, looking even more angry than when she was questioned by others. Minute!
Liu Mengli didn't mean to defend herself, she just glanced at the position again, and then lowered her eyes slightly.
She lightly pinched a hand gesture in front of everyone, and several purple glowing runes appeared along with the spiritual power, and then gently flicked her sleeves. Scattered around.
"Dream shadow fog flowers, full of emptiness, because of the thoughts of the mind, Fang Huasheng illusion - it is better to disperse everything!"
The voice is clear and crisp, like jade beads falling on a silver plate, but with a strange wave spreading out, the surrounding scene directly changed amazingly.
The corpse disappeared...
The mottled blood was wiped away...
The blood-contaminated Li-herb bushes and the surrounding land have returned to normal...
It's just an empty cave, where is the murder scene, there is nothing at all!
“…”
“…”
At the same time, everyone fell silent, and in a trance, they even suspected that they were in a state of illusion.
"Clap clap clap..."
The next moment, there was a soft applause, and at the same time, a slightly surprised voice came from the side: "It's quite amazing, it's not only seen through, but it can really crack my spell... …”
The young Taoist stood among the group of people, clapping his hands lightly with a look of surprise on his face.
Wait! when! ?
Everyone was shocked. This person didn't seem to appear suddenly, but seemed to be standing beside them all the time. It was only now that they didn't notice each other, and they ignored each other's existence before.
Suddenly being so frightened, everyone's reaction is also different-
Huai Shuo stretched out his hand to protect Xuanji like a conditioned reflex, and took a few steps back. Xiuyu's eyes flickered and she didn't say a word. This is not the right time to reveal what she and the other party have known for a long time.
But what kind of plane is this guy doing? If a good magician doesn't do it, why change a Taoist robe?
Although Yun Tianhe was a little startled, but because he didn't feel murderous or anything, he quickly calmed down. He just thought it was fun and stared at the young Taoist with great interest.
He recognized this person. He had met him at night by the lake. He was envious of his ability to turn a piece of hair into himself. If he could learn how to do it, he would be able to sleep while sleeping Boar hunting.
Liu Mengli was not surprised at all, she just stretched out her hand to lightly tuck the hair around her ear, and smiled gracefully and gracefully: "The Taoist priest is too famous, I'm just taking advantage of it..."
"Huh? What do you mean by cheating?" Xia Ran tilted his head, he didn't realize how the other party was cheating, but it sounded very sincere, not like a modest statement.
Liu Mengli's mouth twitched, but before she had time to speak, Han Lingsha had already reacted from the huge surprise, and asked in a dizzy manner: "Yes, yes yes yes yes you——!!"
"Oh, it's me..." Xia Ran glanced at her and said indifferently, "Is there something wrong with Miss Han?"
"I, I want...I want to ask you..." Han Lingsha was about to blurt out almost subconsciously, but when the words came, she changed the question abruptly, "Did someone come over last night? Exorcism, were you deceived by your illusion?"
"Yes."
"Is that person their uncle..." The red-clothed girl forced a smile. In fact, she didn't care about it at all, she was just changing the subject bluntly.
Xia Ran gave her a strange look: "How do I know this?"
"Then can you describe the person you met at the time?"
"Yes, yes, but it was so dark that I couldn't see clearly—"
The young Taoist frowned, his hands on his chin, and he began to think.
"The man is a young monk, eight feet tall and nineteen years old, wearing a white robe with a blue vest, and a sword embroidered on his handguard with four auspicious clouds surrounding a sword With a sword gate on his back, he is extremely obsessed with the way of making and raising swords. His personality is extremely cold and warm, stable and reserved. Although it seems difficult to get along with him, he is actually a warm-blooded man with clear grievances and great affection. The demons have some prejudices..."
