Half-life immortal

Chapter 33 Yongchang City is not peaceful, hidden crisis
She looked into his eyes and said seriously: "I think the inn might be full."

Feng Yutian was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't laugh or cry, he thought she was going to talk about something serious, but she was actually worrying about the inn.But let alone, Xue Qinglan's premonition was too accurate, they went to the inn to inquire, and sure enough there were no rooms, even the place where the shopkeeper slept was rented out.

Xue Qinglan spread her hands, shrugged her shoulders helplessly and said, "Look, let me just say it! Actually, it's not a hunch, it's something normal people can figure out. Where are we going now? Do you want me to give you a few choices? ?”

After returning to this kind of place, she feels like a fish in water, she feels comfortable physically and mentally, and there are more weird ideas in her mind, as if this kind of place where fish and dragons are mixed is her home field, and she can easily find her own. Position, and transform everything in front of you into favorable conditions for yourself.

Feng Yutian seldom goes down the mountain, and it is almost as if he is isolated from the world. He has very little experience in this area, so he said: "Tell me."

Xue Qinglan explained familiarly: "In fact, there are many places to live. As long as the sky doesn't fall, you can live anywhere. Of course, since you have already entered the city, you don't want to go back to the suburbs to sleep in the wild, right? I don’t want to, it’s like this in the city: first, we can go to the temple to spend the night, but Brother Wang Xi has a lot of opinions on the monks, so this is directly dismissed; second, there should be some Taoist temples in the city, but look There are so many cultivators on the street, good Taoist temples must have been occupied long ago, and we have to compete with beggars for broken Taoist temples. If you don’t mind, go to casinos, brothels, or even hang out at the root of the imperial city Even overnight."

She has obviously been around these places, and she speaks clearly and logically. What makes Feng Yutian most helpless is that she even talked so frankly about going to the brothel.

Although what she said were all methods, it was obvious that a person like Feng Yutian would not hang out on the streets like this, so he asked naturally: "Is there anything else?"

Xue Qinglan smiled and said: "Of course, there is another trick! Don't you just want to stay in an inn? As long as you slap 800 taels of silver, the innkeeper will wish to drive all the guests away and rent the rooms to you. Let's see if you have money, Feng, Shi, brother!"

She purposely bit down the word "senior brother" very strongly, which means: You are a senior brother, you pay for it, don't make me, a junior sister, bleed out.

The idea she believes in is that she can suffer losses, but her money must not suffer losses; it is okay to lose face, but absolutely not to lose money, let alone wasting money because of such trivial things as staying in a hotel, which is something she cannot bear.

Feng Yutian was once again rendered speechless by her words, just as Xue Qinglan knew, only spirit stones were traded in Taiqing Mountain, not gold and silver, so immortal cultivators like them would often stock up spirit stones instead of gold and silver, Even if there is a storage bag, it is impossible to carry a huge amount of silver taels on his body all the time. Feng Yutian has some broken silver, but it is obviously not enough for Xue Qinglan's standard of 800 [-] taels.

Loose cultivators who have practiced in the secular world all year round will definitely keep enough silver on their bodies, because these people are experienced and prepared. In Xue Qinglan's words, this is called the experience of going out of the rivers and lakes.

"Ow——"

At this moment, there was a strange wolf-like howling sound not far away, accompanied by human screams, which was extremely frightening.

Xue Qinglan was terrified, and turned around to look at the source of the sound, but she couldn't see the scene due to the blockage of houses in the streets and alleys, and she didn't know how the howling and screaming came from.

Not only she heard it, but also Feng Yutian and many passers-by around.The sound was frightening, but people's curiosity couldn't be held back, and someone immediately ran towards the source of the sound to find out what happened.

Feng Yutian also said: "Let's go take a look too."

Xue Qinglan nodded, and followed him towards the source of the sound. When they got there, many, many people had already gathered around the small alley.The two of them squeezed in with great difficulty, and when they saw the scene inside, even though their minds were as firm as the two of them, they couldn't help but change slightly.

There were large and small flesh and blood scattered all over the alley, among which were human arms and skeletons. Blood was splashed on the walls, like a large amount of blood spurted out by the human body after being subjected to great pressure. There was a piece of dirt on the ground, and some hair could be seen vaguely , but no complete head could be found. It can be seen that the entire head of the deceased was crushed, making it difficult to identify his identity.

The city guards should be the first batch of people to arrive. They surrounded the scene and were cleaning up the wreckage.Xue Qinglan and Feng Yutian pricked up their ears, quietly listening to the discussions of others.

"How many times is this? The death is really miserable, like being bitten by a wild beast."

"Isn't it? This should be regarded as the worst death, and I really don't know what's going on."

"Hey, what's so strange about this. His Majesty said that he would hold a martial arts conference, but the deadline for this martial arts conference has been postponed again and again. The warriors are all fresh-blooded, and when they meet on the street, they might fight if they don't agree with each other. Life is coming."

"I don't think so. Haven't you heard of an ultra-cruel killer organization? I heard that as long as the organization gives money, it can kill anyone, anyone can kill, and it does it cleanly without leaving any clues. I heard before It’s just making trouble in the surrounding small countries, I reckon it’s developing to Da Luo now.”

Xue Qinglan listened for a while, and found that passers-by had different opinions on this scene, and the most talked about was that certain killer organization, from princes and nobles to immortal cultivators, and even Buddhist powers or Taoist immortals, as long as you dare to bid, the bid is high enough, They dare to kill for you, they are extremely arrogant.

Because they still don't know the real name of the organization, everyone calls it "Wuying", which means that it comes and goes without a trace, and it can't be grasped.

However, the tragic situation here is not like a killer killing people. If the killer makes such a big noise, he can't be called a professional killer. Killing people must be unconscious to be professional.But here, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a certain monster broke into Yongchang City and committed murder.

Feng Yutian and her walked out of the crowd and walked towards the inn, because they had an appointment with Xiqiuzhi to meet at the inn, so no matter whether they could stay in the inn or not, they had to return.

On the way, he seldom cared about her and said, "Are you all right?"

From what he thought, the scene just now was so bloody that even he couldn't help but gag after watching it. Xue Qinglan is a girl, so it should be even more unbearable, and she didn't look good just now.

Xue Qinglan replied with a stiff smile: "It's okay, I just didn't expect Yongchang City to be so chaotic, it's not peaceful at all."

Although she felt a little uncomfortable seeing that scene, it was not enough to leave a psychological shadow.In fact, this is nothing, she has seen no matter how disgusting the scene was, the scene just now just brought back bad memories for her.

Feng Yutian approved her words, and said: "It's really not peaceful. This fight took place in broad daylight in the extremely prosperous Yongchang City, but there was no witness. It's really suspicious. Just now there was a sound like howling wolves, I don't know what it is."

Xue Qinglan rolled her eyes and said, "Is it possible that it is a spirit beast?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Some spirit beasts can change their appearance, and it is also possible to enter the city disguised as other animals or people. However, it may also be a magic weapon of mimicry in the hands of an immortal cultivator, or it may be a mimetic technique practiced by a warrior. "

Seeing what he said, Xue Qinglan said helplessly, "Are you still going to say that it's also possible that some boring person is playing with the jade talisman to scare people?"

In fact, they just chatted casually and didn't really want to explore it. Regardless of whether it was a murderous organization or a new grudge, they didn't come to Yongchang to eliminate violence, as long as they didn't threaten their lives.It's just that although almost all possibilities were involved in their discussion, none of them thought about the possibility of killing monsters in Yongchang City itself.They can't be blamed for ignoring this possibility. Monster beasts are not common, and even in the wild, they can't be encountered often, let alone this kind of big town with people coming and going, the capital of Daluo.If there are still monsters haunting such a place, then there may be no safe place in the world.

However, after today's incident, they unconsciously raised their vigilance, because if someone died, it meant that unpredictable murders or attacks would occur in this Yongchang City at any time, so they should not be careless.

Xue Qinglan thought about the killer organization mentioned by passers-by just now, and suddenly had an idea, "You said those who attacked you half a year ago were 'Wuying' people?"

"careful!"

As soon as she spoke, Feng Yutian's expression suddenly changed, he turned around and stretched out his hand to forcibly pull her over, facing the back, protecting her behind him, while the bloody long sword in his hand was out of its sheath.

Because at the moment Xue Qinglan spoke, he felt a strong sense of crisis. Immortal cultivators have very keen senses, especially those who are strong or gifted. feel.It was an inexplicable feeling, even though he didn't feel anyone around him, nor did he feel any killing intent, but he just felt dangerous.

Before Xue Qinglan could react, she had already been pulled behind her. Just when she was about to get angry, she heard Feng Yutian's warning sound, she immediately calmed down, kept silent, glanced around, and raised her sense of vigilance to the highest level.

She didn't draw out her sword, but her right hand was already on the hilt ready to go, and the sleeve arrow guard on her left hand had also been activated, as long as she was in danger, she would activate the aura arrow at any time.

The wind is blowing quietly, the air in late autumn is a bit cold, and there is a slight chill on the body.

The alley was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard, the atmosphere was extremely strange.

A bead of sweat appeared on Xue Qinglan's head, and was quickly dried by the cold wind, making her shiver almost uncontrollably.This is the first time she has really faced a challenge at the level of a cultivator. No matter what danger Feng Yutian senses, the opponent is not here to compete. If one fails, it will be a pity. She has to be very careful to deal with.

The unknown danger is the most terrifying, even Feng Yutian is facing a formidable enemy, so she has no reason to take it lightly.

Feng Yutian saw that there was no movement in the alley, the other party might have noticed that he was already alert, so he was hesitating whether to make a move.He didn't want to make unnecessary entanglements with the other party, so he whispered to Xue Qinglan, "Retire."

The two of them stepped back carefully, walking steadily and slowly step by step, and both of them were actually very nervous.Xue Qinglan was worried about herself, while Feng Yutian was worried that she would not be able to protect her.

Finally they retreated to the entrance of the alley, and outside was the street with people coming and going, and at this moment, the faint sense of crisis in Feng Yutian's heart disappeared, which meant that the other party might have left.

He dragged Xue Qinglan into the crowds of the street, only to find that her palms were covered with sweat.

The other party didn't do anything because he was vigilant and found the crisis, but if the other party's target was really him, he wouldn't be able to give up so easily. He would definitely continue to monitor and find the right time.Now that the enemy is dark and we are clear, it is really not easy to deal with.

The two of them haven't recovered from the vigilance just now, and they didn't even notice that they were holding hands with each other until they returned to the inn and saw Xi Qiuzhi at the door.Seeing the two of them holding hands, Xiqiuzhi couldn't help being taken aback, and then joked: "The relationship is really good, I'm going to be jealous, brother!"

Feng Yucai noticed that he was still holding Xue Qinglan's little hand tightly, so he quickly let go, and said in a low voice, "Sorry..."

At the same time that he let go, Xue Qinglan pulled back her arm, and the movements of the two were so synchronized, as if they had been rehearsed.Xue Qinglan's face turned slightly red, and Feng Yutian, the ten-thousand-year iceberg, also looked up at the sky with some guilt, wondering what there was to see in the sky.

Xue Qinglan quickly came back to her senses, explained the situation to Xiqiuzhi, and asked, "How is your side, brother?"

Xi Qiuzhi shook his head and said: "There is nothing to gain, the other party should be hiding very deeply. By the way, I will give you the portraits of the two of them. Pay attention when you have the opportunity."

He took out four lifelike portraits and handed them to the two of them. These portraits were drawn by someone he had just asked. How can you find someone who doesn't even have the most basic portraits?
Then he said sternly: "From what you said just now, this Yongchang City seems to be very uneven. I think we should leave for now?"

He suggested this, and then looked up at the sky, the sky had already darkened, and it would be very dangerous to walk in the wild at night, it seemed that it was no better than in Yongchang City, so he rejected it: "Forget it, it's too late now, we Let’s rest for the night before leaving.”

As for the place to rest, the inn was already full, and Xue Qinglan's proposals could not be adopted. In the end, it was Xiqiuzhi who came forward to find someone to live in in the name of a disciple of Taiqing Mountain.

Naturally, Xue Qinglan could no longer live with the two men during the break, so she had to choose another hut to meditate in meditation.Normally, she would sink all her thoughts into it to enter the samadhi, but now it was down the mountain, and there were dangers everywhere, so she couldn't be so careless, so she also left three points of her mind outside of the samadhi.
