【Xue Xiao】Desolate City Crossing

Wei Wuxian dragged Xiao Xingchen along as he walked, summarizing the situation concisely.

Since the Xianmen Baijia started the search and arrest operation, all the strongholds of the Duoshe gang have indeed been defeated, but these strongholds know nothing about Shi Wusheng except that they have a relationship with the Lanling stronghold for buying and selling incense.According to the confession of the boss Yan of Chunfeng Building, three dungeons were found where the children were held, and only one of them arrived in time. It was only exposed later, but of course people went to prison.

During this process, they captured five of Shi Wusheng's subordinates, but without interrogating any valid information, they designed to let one go on purpose. They thought they would be able to track Shi Wusheng after following him, but unexpectedly they disappeared near the Suiyun Snow Mountain.

When they were at a loss, hundreds of families from the Immortal Gate gathered to discuss countermeasures. After the discussion, they found that among the more than a dozen house-robbers they set up to capture, two of them might be the ghosts of Shi Wusheng's subordinates. This time, all the fairy sects sent ghost-hunting monks disguised as travelers to come to the snow mountain to find out.

"Someone who was arrested revealed that Shi Wusheng was looking for Xue Yang," Wei Wuxian said, and he became more and more careful with his words. He carefully chose his words, not wanting to convey to Xiao Xingchen the ugly words that everyone insulted Xue Yang. Picking up important information, he said: "Someone in the Immortal Gate proposed to use Xue Yang as a bait to lure Shi Wusheng out. I'll come here first to discuss in detail with you and Xue Yang face to face to see if it's feasible. I didn't expect Shi Wusheng to move so fast. If this plan doesn’t work, we have to find another way.”

While talking, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain. Wei Wuxian led him into a cave with a huge space. In the cave, six or seven tents of different sizes were scattered here and there. More than 20 monks came from afar to Hiding his tracks, he dared not go to the villages and towns to find an inn for accommodation, so he could only temporarily set up camp in the cave.

There are no candles in the cave, and the monks from each family show their magical powers. They all use fairy lights for lighting, and the brilliance of different colors complement each other, giving the original cave a magnificent illusion.

As soon as Xiao Xingchen followed Wei Wuxian into the room, everyone stopped talking and looked at him.

In the past few months, the news about his rebirth with the sword has spread like wildfire, and it has become a legend. Only Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian, and Song Zichen have seen him present, and everyone else has only heard of him when Shuanghua was shocked. The world, the reputation of the bright moon and the clear breeze, seeing the real person at this time, the white clothes are as good as the snow, elegant and unconventional, and the intention of making friends is born in their hearts. There have been enthusiastic monks who have gathered around to say hello, but they soon discovered that this Xiao Xingchen is not at all. As gentle and modest as in the legend, facing everyone's congratulations and greetings, the fairy elder in white couldn't hide his impetuosity, and answered questions in a perfunctory manner, obviously worrying about other things in his heart.

Among the more than 20 people, Lan Wangji has the highest prestige, and he and Wei Wuxian have been leading the hunt for Shi Wusheng and the Duoshe gang. After he invites Xiao Xingchen to take a seat, everyone quiets down and forms a circle to discuss the business , when everyone heard that Xue Yang, the ghost who could have been used as a bait, disappeared, they all looked at each other and fell silent.

"Hmph, I think he is absconding in fear of crime!" Song Zichen sat at the farthest place from Xiao Xingchen, and said coldly.

Xiao Xingchen glanced at his old friend, and repeated the news he had just announced in a firm and painful voice: "He didn't flee in fear of crime, and he was indeed very likely to be captured by Shi Wusheng."

Song Zichen wanted to say that it was very possible, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, so how could he know that he was not absconding in fear of crime?But he was worried that with the frankness of a good friend, he would convince him by speaking publicly about his inseparable relationship with Xue Yang.Which of the monks sitting around the scene didn't cast aside Xue Yang?If he knew that Xiao Xingchen had an affair with the evil spirit Xue Yang, he might be unkind to Xiao Xingchen, so Song Zichen swallowed his words, swallowed his breath and did not continue to ask.

Some of the monks remembered Xiao Xingchen's capture of Xue Yang on the Golden Scale Terrace, and the old incident of being deceived and forced to death by Xue Yang in Yicheng. They took it for granted that Xiao Xingchen should hate Xue Yang to the bone. Those around him also thought it was Xue Yang who was still pestering him in an attempt to harm him even after his death, and when they saw his sad expression, they thought it was because of Xue Yang's disappearance that caused him to lose the bait to capture Shi Wusheng.

However, there were also those who were good at observing words and emotions from Xiao Xingchen's overly sad and anxious expression when he mentioned Xue Yang, and wanted to find out more details, and asked, "Master Xiao Xingchen, why are you with that evil spirit Xue Yang? "

Xiao Xingchen received a reminder from Wei Wuxian before coming here, telling him to be cautious, not to defend Xue Yang too much and cause public anger, otherwise it will be detrimental to the next cooperation action, so he tried his best to calmly say: "It was Xue Yang who sacrificed his soul to help me make up for it. Soul rebirth, I can see him, so we are always together."

"Xue Yang replenishes your soul? Daoist Xiao Xingchen, don't be fooled by him again. Did that guy do any evil things with Jin Guangyao when he was alive? He must have other evil intentions! Just follow It's the same as in Yicheng!"

At this time, Xue Yang and Jin Guangyao had died less than three years ago, and the hundred families of the Immortal Sect still had vivid memories of their evil deeds, especially the fact that Xue Yang used the Yinhu Talisman to refine living corpses. He echoed in a low voice: "Yes!" "That's right!" "How could he have the heart to save people!"

In the past, Xiao Xingchen might still argue about this scene, and talk about Xue Yangduhun's repentant attitude.But after drawing a clear line with his friend Song Zichen yesterday, he made up his mind to ignore everyone's criticism of Xue Yang.He understands the evil deeds that Xue Yang has done, and there is nothing to deny, but how many people can understand the complicated bond between him and Xue Yang, Xue Yang's changes, even if it is said?

"Xue Yang doesn't have any bad intentions," he replied patiently and simply: "Shi Wusheng is also his enemy, and he and I have been trying our best to track down the House Seizing Organization and Shi Wusheng for the past six months."

The first person to ask the question was aggressive: "Then Xue Yang really still used the Taoist priest! He is a ghost and can't get revenge, so I borrow your power!"

Song Zichen greatly agreed with this, he looked at Xiao Xingchen from the opposite side, and saw that although his obsessive friend did not refute, he was obviously too lazy to argue and did not take this sentence into his heart.

Wei Wuxian immediately came out to smooth things over: "The point now is not what Xue Yang wants to do, but what Shi Wusheng wants to do. Everyone knows about his refining alchemy, and Xue Yang is probably the third one he wants to gather now. There is a human pill, and finding a way to find them as soon as possible is the business."

Someone blurted out on the spot: "That's right! If you can't find Shi Wusheng, you have to find Xue Yang to destroy his soul, so Shi Wusheng won't be able to gather three human pills for the time being!"

All the monks responded with a bang, this man was proud of his good start when he felt a rather unfriendly gaze shot over amidst the approval, and when he looked up, it was Xiao Xingchen who was glaring at him with sparks in his eyes, he couldn't help but He shut his mouth resentfully, and murmured in his heart that he didn't know what was wrong with what he said. They all said that Taoist Xiao Xingchen was pure, kind and gentle, but his current appearance didn't show any sign of gentleness at all, not to mention that he was still holding a handful tightly in his hand, which was full of evil spirits. sword.

This person stopped talking, and someone else took over the conversation. Xiao Xingchen listened for a while, and understood that these people knew nothing about Shi Wusheng and his men hiding near the snow-capped mountains. He walked out with a sullen face.

Everyone was shocked and stopped discussing. Wei Wuxian got up and caught up with him and asked, "Little uncle! Where are you going?"

Xiao Xingchen said, "I'll go find Xue Yang and Shi Wusheng."

"But where to find it? Didn't you say that you can't sense Xue Yang's direction?"

"I don't know where to look for me, so I look for it mountain by mountain, it's better than doing nothing here!"

The white-clothed figure disappeared at the entrance of the cave, and a monk said rather dissatisfied: "This snow-capped mountain range is endless, with dozens of peaks. If you are looking for no purpose, where can you find it!"

These monks were indeed determined to capture Shi Wusheng, but the snow-capped mountains stretched for hundreds of miles, and it was really difficult for more than 20 of them to find one or two hidden ghosts here.Not to mention the freezing cold outside and the harsh environment, no matter how enthusiastic the fighting spirit is, it will be somewhat worn down.

Lan Wangji, who had been silent all this time, said, "Send a letter to each family to send helpers."

All the immortal sects sent to the Snow Mountain to initially investigate the truth were young juniors, led by Lan Wangji for the time being, and Lan Wangji's aura around him was like frost, no one dared to refute him when he opened his mouth.

Wei Wuxian explained cooperatively: "Now that things are up to now, there is nothing to hide. At least Shi Wusheng has dozens or even hundreds of ghosts under him. A considerable part of these ghosts can't gather together for a long time with their own strength after leaving Duoshe's body. Gather in a place where there are techniques or auras to help them keep their souls alive, it is impossible to find no traces, please send monks who are proficient in finding traces of ghosts or techniques, search the mountains!"

Among the decent monks, the physiques like Xiao Xingchen and Wei Wuxian who can directly see the undead are rare. Fortunately, Taoism is based on dealing with evil spirits, and they have their own magical powers to deal with demons and ghosts. A kind of evil "ghost", proficient in tracking, destroying ghosts, or making ghosts manifest.

Everyone retreated to their respective tents, preparing to send a message to call the monks in the family who are good at dealing with "ghosts".

At the end of the gathering discussing how to catch ghosts in the cave, a group of ghosts gathered in a dark space under the water, tied a ghost with a broken arm to a stone pillar, and surrounded them.

The icy water and sight surrounded the ghost with the broken arm, and the incense left in his body made him dizzy and weak.

Xue Yang didn't know where he was being taken.

He didn't recognize the leader of the ghosts who came to arrest him, he only heard other ghost soldiers call him "Diaotangzhu".After arriving at this place full of ghosts, another "Eagle Hall Master" among the ghosts came late.

A middle-aged man came pacing in a gray Taoist robe, with a black and thin figure, prominent cheekbones, and a dignified appearance. The ghost subordinates on both sides stepped out of the way and bowed their heads respectfully to him.

Seeing Xue Yang, the anger of hatred in his heart burned through a long time, and his eyes shot darkly at the person who came.

"Xue Yang, long time no see." Shi Wusheng smiled kindly, "When we meet again after a long absence, do you use this attitude to greet the mentor who made you up?"

Seeing this person, the dizziness caused by the dementor incense in Xue Yang's body instantly faded away. His eyes brightened and he said, "Old bastard, I only wish you didn't die by my hands!"

Shi Wuqi responded to Xue Yang's anger leisurely: "Ha! White-eyed wolf, who will die and who will win has long been doomed, can't you see the situation clearly? I was a little bit afraid when you mastered Yintie before you were alive. Now, you What is there? Even the soul is not complete, what are you going to use to compete with me?"

Shi Wusheng waved his hand, and the two subordinates each presented an obsidian box to his side.

He opened one of them, and there was a faint golden light inside, and it was three young children's hearts.

Xue Yang knew that Shi Wusheng must have obtained it from the child in the dungeon. If the refined golden elixir absorbed the aura inside, it would have the same effect as making him become flexible. Your daydream still hasn't woken up? With your half-hearted virtue, unless everyone in the world dies, you will never be able to successfully gather three human pills, let alone have a chance to become famous, and you can only live in the underground like no one. It rots like a stinky corpse!"

Shi Wusheng has always regarded refining human pills, cultivating into demons, and dominating the world as his lifelong pursuits before and after his death. It is his heart knot to hide after repeated failures for many years. Hearing such harsh words, he felt a chill It slammed into his eyes.

Xue Yang shouted loudly: "Don't expect me to perform spirit harvesting again!"

"Don't refuse in such a hurry." Shi Wusheng returned to his faint smile, and pointed to the white light wound on Xue Yang's chest, "Here, is it the injury of the immortal weapon? The immortal weapon hurts the soul, and the pain is unbearable, but there is another kind Something that hurts the soul more painful than a fairy weapon, do you know what it is?"
