Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 14 Almost got plotted
After going out for dinner with a sense of accomplishment, Xu Yuanchang returned to the inn and took a closer look before opening the door.

A short length of hair was still stuck under the door. After closing the door, he lit the oil lamp.

I went to the window and took a look. The secret message was not broken.

He looked under the bed and in the corner again, then took out two books from his arms, sat down and read them carefully.

His current magic power is low and his strength is negligible. He has to be more careful in a strange city.

The "Light Body Leaping Technique" is very suitable for his current practice. It is similar to the secular light body movement technique taught to him by Lao Ding. He is very interested in studying it and repeatedly pondering and making gestures.

Half an hour later, he stood up, took off his sword, and moved around in the open space of the small room.

The figure sways, the sleeves carry the breeze, and the lights sway.

Until the sound of banging clappers and shouting came from the street: "It's midnight, everything is safe."

Xu Yuanchang performed a somersault and landed lightly on the ground. There was very little movement, and a smile appeared on his face. He had learned the technique of lightening his body. He would need to practice for a long time to achieve the point where practice makes perfect.

I scooped some water to wash myself with, blew out the lights, sat cross-legged on the bed, breathed in and practiced Qigong.

He learned the basic inner breath exhalation technique of the Izumo-Kan orthodox school. I heard from Senior Brother Yin that the exhalation technique is simple and smooth, the speed is slow, and it is enough for practicing in the Qi-Entraining Realm. When he reaches the Solid Qi Realm, he will have the opportunity to replace it. Advanced breathing exercises.

I could vaguely hear the sound of "dong-dong, dong, dong".

"The fourth watch of the ugly season is when the weather is cold and the ground is freezing."

Xu Yuanchang opened his eyes, the mana he had consumed was restored to the original level, and his cultivation level improved slightly.

He got out of bed and was about to take off his clothes when he suddenly sensed something was wrong and turned around hastily. Using the faint light from the window, he saw a black air drifting in from the gap under the door. He immediately held his breath.

The room suddenly became a bit gloomy.

Then there was a thin piece of paper, swaying and twisting into the room through the gap without making any sound.

Black energy enveloped the paper figure, swaying strangely from side to side, turning into a phantom that grew in size very quickly.

"Pa", a magic coin penetrated the shadow and hit the door panel. The golden light flashed, and a ghost howl was vaguely heard. The black air shadow disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye. The paper man twisted and shrank quickly, trying to get rid of the golden light of the magic coin. Drill under the door.

Xu Yuanchang flicked his wrist, and a cold light flew past.

"Hey", the flying knife nailed the paper man to the door panel, and the paper man struggled endlessly.

Xu Yuanchang's eyes narrowed, and he heard a "dong" sound coming from the corridor outside. It seemed that someone hit the wall, followed by two footsteps. He guessed that the caster was hiding not far outside.

After breaking the opponent's evil paper mantra, the opponent doesn't seem to suffer serious backlash?

Very strange.

He waved his left hand and shot the second flying knife, nailing the paper man's neck into two pieces.

The paper man's head fell off and he completely lost his movement.

Xu Yuanchang took the sword. He did not open the door rashly, but jumped to the window that was about two feet tall.

Pulling open the copper bolt, pushing open a gap, I saw a black shadow disappearing from the opposite roof.

After observing for a long time, Xu Yuanchang closed the window thoughtfully. He thought he was careful enough, so why would a robbery cultivator come to his door?

Secretly glad that he didn't fall asleep, otherwise he would have been plotted without knowing it.

I shudder to think about it.

Maybe it has something to do with the Zhuang Liang and the other two people they met in Xianyu Garden yesterday?

They saw him carrying a baggage and coming down from the shop on the second floor. Even if he explained that it was an old book given by Senior Brother Yin, some people would definitely not believe it.

As for the casual cultivators, in the words of Senior Brother Yin, they are all so poor that they are crazy.

Many people are blinded by money and act boldly.

I just don’t know what method the other party used to track him?
Picking up the magic money that fell on the ground, the power of the magic money has increased a lot since it absorbed his blood last time.

Try again next time and let the magic money suck blood again.

He took off the throwing knife, used the knife to pick up two paper figures with complicated runes, placed them on the table, and nailed them with the tip of the knife.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated until dawn, then went out with his baggage on his back, went to the inn lobby to pay for the room for two more days, had breakfast at a shop on the street, wandered around until the sun rose, and Xu Yuanchang came to Baijisi in the west of the city.

Show the casual repair card to the soldier guarding the gate. Xu Yuanchang was allowed to enter and walked along the rightmost corridor to the Sanren Courtyard.

The middle-aged man with a dull expression raised his head and said two words: "What's the matter?"

Xu Yuanchang briefly told what happened last night and took out the wooden box from the bag, which contained two paper figures.

The middle-aged man picked up the paper figure, looked at it, and said dullly: "You go back, the Sanren Academy will send people to investigate the case."

He casually put the paper man under the counter.

Xu Yuanchang was a little disappointed in his heart. The other party didn't even try to hide it. He was being naive.

Carrying the baggage and walking out of Baijisi, I met Zhuang Liang smiling brightly on the street.

He secretly wondered if Zhuang Liang would misunderstand that he was the patrol officer of Baiji Division, right?
The routine in the city was too deep, and he wanted to quietly return to the countryside.

I exchanged a few pleasantries with Zhuang Liang and politely agreed to have wine next time.

It is the basic rule of casual cultivators not to pry into the other party's affairs, unless the other party takes the initiative to mention it.

When Xu Yuanchang returned to the inn, he always felt that he was going back to the countryside in despair. He was unwilling to find out what method Jie Xiu used to follow him, as if he was stuck in his throat.

I wonder when Senior Brother Yin will come back?
After pacing and thinking for a while, I went out again without carrying the empty box in my bag.

The thief missed last night, and he went to Baijisi again today. No one with a brain can do it again.

He is not a rich man.

When I arrived at Xianyu Garden, I smiled and nodded to the casual cultivators chatting in the hall. I first made myself familiar, without expecting anyone to be enthusiastic, and then went up to the second floor.

The woman in white guarded the shop, put down the book, and asked, "What do you need?"

Xu Yuanchang smiled and said hello, walked to the corner, and selected ten pieces of ordinary yellow talisman paper, an ordinary talisman pen, and a box of ordinary cinnabar ink. He spent two hundred taels of silver notes and suddenly lost a lot of money.

The woman in white received the banknote and saw that Xu Yuanchang hesitated and did not leave, so she said, "You can tell me if you have anything to do?"

Xu Yuan took a long look outside the door and could hear voices downstairs.

There was no impatience on the woman's face, and her tone was still cold: "There are soundproofing restrictions in the shop. If you talk inside, you can't hear it outside."

Xu Yuanchang briefly recounted the troubles he encountered last night in a low voice, and asked for advice: "Xianzi An, what are some ways that monks can follow people without being noticed?"

Brother Yin chose to entrust the burden to the woman in white instead of letting his good brother Zhuang Liang hand it over, which shows that the woman in white is more trustworthy.

He had no relatives in Qingping City, so he had no choice but to give it a try, even if he was looked down upon.

The woman in white said, "Bring the paper man here, and I'll take a look at it for you."

Xu Yuanchang said: "This morning, I went to Baijisi and handed the paper man to Sanrenyuan."

The woman in white looked like a fool and shook her head slightly: "If there is no murder case, the Sanrenyuan will not pay attention to it unless you help them..." Walked around Xu Yuanchang, pointed to the hem of his left robe, and said: "Someone give it to me You drank the tracking powder, and I didn’t know enough about it to detect it.”

Xu Yuanchang suddenly realized that this made sense.

Just two days after being introduced to the world of spiritual practice, he was given a vivid lesson in the law of the jungle.

Beneath the seemingly tranquil surface, there are actually turbulent undercurrents.

Before he has the strength, it is best for him to be cautious and cautious.

"You can avoid trouble by changing your clothes and moving to a new inn. In broad daylight, thieves don't dare to follow you openly."

The woman in white gave directions casually.

Xu Yuanchang thanked her with his fists, put the items in his sleeves, went downstairs and left.

Only by clearing up doubts can he live in peace of mind.

If something like this happens, the city will be safer than the countryside, and people will be hidden in the city.

He has to wait for Senior Brother Yin to come back.
