Fellow!Stop!

The winter plum falls, and spring comes at the end of winter.The grass and trees will return soon after knowing spring, and all kinds of red and purple will fight against each other.The spring flowers fall, the remaining petals welcome the summer, and the hibiscus sings the new autumn with tears.

When the maple leaves of Fenghua Palace turned red and then green, time flew by in a blink of an eye, and two years passed by unknowingly.

In a few days, it will be Xuan Yi's birthday.Back then, the proud young man was tall and tall, but now he is even more suave and suave, with handsome features. Standing in front of others, he looks like a spring breeze playing with flowers, and a spring dew after a rain. Wherever he goes, he can't hide his high spirits.

But at this time, something happened in Shaoyang territory.

Xuan Boxi originally planned to hold a birthday party for Xuan Yi, but this incident ruined it.

Recently, Xuan Boxi received emergency letters from three provinces and four prefectures, saying that there are always disciples missing from various immortal families.Some of the smaller fairy families even lost two suzerains.

In half a month's time, it will be the Qingyang Grand Gathering held every five years, a large-scale gathering that all immortal families are looking forward to.This time it was the Xuan family's turn to host the conference, and the preparations for such a conference had already been exhausted, but this juncture added chaos.

The door of Xuan Boxi's Rongchen Residence was open every morning and evening, and there was an endless stream of guest officials and guests coming in and out.Later, Xuan Boxi simply moved to the meeting hall, day and night he talked endlessly with all the guests, all the suzerains, big and small, and even rarely returned to his own dormitory.

Originally, this matter was not noticed at first.After all, it is not surprising that the children of the Xian family go out hunting for a long time and do not return.

At first, everyone heard that someone had set off a distress cigarette, but they didn't care.However, one after another, after sending out distress smoke one after another, people disappeared, and the immortals realized that the situation was serious.When the people sent out, batch after batch, injured and missing, they finally couldn't help but begged to the Fenghua Palace of the Xuan family, a famous fairy family in Shaoyang.

Maybe the children are getting older. Xuan Boxi summoned Xuan Yi and Xuan Rui to attend this discussion, hoping that they can gradually get in touch with the outside world and broaden their knowledge.Xuan Yu has long been the young master, and often accompanied Xuan Boxi to attend various discussions and gatherings. It was the first time for Xuan Rui to attend, so he sat quietly and listened carefully.Xuan Yi's identity has always been hidden, and he never showed it in front of others, so he sat behind the screen and listened to their discussion.

"I heard that there are people missing from the fairy family, all on the fifteenth night?"

"Yes, the suzerain of the Liyang Chen family and the eldest lady of the Changping Liu family both disappeared on the fifteenth day of last month."

"It seems that the suzerain of the Liyang Chen family is a woman?"

"Sounds like they're all women?"

"..."

I don't know who asked the key point, and everyone was embarrassed and speechless for a moment, as if they all thought of the shameless aspect.

But no matter how embarrassing, things always have to be discussed.

Xuan Boxi glanced at Xuan Yu, Xuan Yu was helpless, and continued to ask: "Is there a woman reported missing by the people?"

"Not yet."

"That is to say, only the daughter of the Xian family is missing." After listening to the analysis of everyone's words, Xuan Boxi tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously.After knocking for a while, he stopped and came to a conclusion.

A suzerain clasped his fists and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a hasty knock on the door.Xuan Boxi frowned, although he didn't like to be disturbed when discussing matters, but Xuan's servants had always been well-trained, and if there was no urgent matter, they would never disturb him when he was discussing matters with his family.

So, he raised his hand.Xuan Yu raised his voice and said, "Come in."

Uncle Cai gave a salute after entering, and immediately approached Xuan Boxi to whisper in Xuan Boxi's ear.After hearing this, Xuan Boxi frowned more obviously, and said, "Gusu Li?"

Hearing these words, both Xuan Yi behind the screen and Xuan Rui in front of the person's heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition arose spontaneously in their hearts.

Xuan Boxi thought for a moment in silence, then ordered solemnly: "Yi'er, go out with Ah Cai first."

The figure behind the screen stood up, and the slender figure bowed slightly before retreating through the small door.

Uncle Cai followed closely behind, and when he arrived outside the meeting hall, he immediately stepped forward and said, "The young master of the Li family in Gusu asked for help, saying that his sister-in-law was lost. She is waiting in the meeting room."

Although Xuan Yi had expected it, he couldn't help being startled when he heard this.Is it really a trick?Urgently waiting to speak, he didn't expect a person behind him to follow closely. Before he got close, he hurriedly asked: "Is this really true? Is it Miss Li Fang?"

Xuan Yi glanced at the anxious Xuan Rui, and swallowed the same question back.

That's all for Li Duanchun, anyway, he traveled all over the place.Li Fang is a girl, and she is not engaged yet, so it is impossible for her to go hunting, so why did she come all the way to Shaoyang?

"How many days have you been missing?" Xuan Yi thought for a while and asked.

"It's said that it took three days. The Li family is an imperial merchant and has a lot of connections. I must have searched for it, but it was fruitless, so I came to the Xuan family for help." Uncle Cai analyzed calmly. After all, he is also a famous family. Asking for help is not such a glorious thing.

Xuan Rui's face turned pale after hearing this, and Xuan Yi patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Rui'er, don't panic. Today is only the ninth day of the lunar new year, and there are still six days left before the fifteenth day."

Xuan Rui finally calmed down after listening, and nodded hesitantly.

Concern leads to chaos. It seems that Xuanrui's thoughts on Li Fang are not a little bit serious.

Xuan Yi thought about the main points, and continued to comfort Xuan Rui: "Listen to what the suzerains said, the culprit is either a powerful evil spirit or an expert in the devil's way. It is urgent, and we juniors can't do anything about it. You still need to discuss it with your father."

Xuan Rui nodded, and entered the small door of the meeting hall together with Xuan Yi. It was really eye-catching because he left and came back halfway, so Xuan Rui and Xuan Yi sat on the bench behind the screen and waited for their discussion to end.It was about the face of a prominent family like the Li family in Gusu, they could only tell Xuan Boxi about it after the suzerains left.

After suffering and waiting for a cup of tea, the suzerains finally left one after another to rest temporarily.

Xuan Rui hastily walked around the screen, lifted his clothes and knelt down, saluting solemnly to his father: "Father, please allow Rui'er to rescue Miss Li."

Xuan Boxi was slightly taken aback by Xuan Rui's reckless behavior, after all, it is rare for a young son who has always been quiet and stable.

"Rui'er get up, I've heard a brief talk from Ah Cai about this matter. What do you think about it?"

"Second brother said that the culprit is either a powerful evil spirit or a master of the devil. Rui'er also thinks so."

Xuan Boxi glanced at the calm Xuan Yi appreciatively, then turned around and asked Xuan Yu, "Where's Yu'er?"

"I agree too. In January, the first day of the lunar new year is extremely sunny, and the fifteenth day is extremely cloudy. I guess, Miss Li and those fairy girls who have disappeared in recent days are still safe for the time being. In recent years, I have rarely heard of it." Some people practice evil skills, after all, the immortals are not easy to mess with. It is estimated that the person who caused the trouble is probably not a human being."

After listening to Xuan Yi, he thought to himself, it doesn't matter if he is not a human being, but he is afraid of some kind of demon master, who can be so reckless, he must not have practiced for a day or two, and it will be even worse if there are disciples or accomplices.It is also extremely difficult to get rid of the roots.

Although it's not yet fifteen, no one knows what the other party is.Since it is possible to take away the children of the Xian family, it must not be easy for the other party.Without further ado, after discussing with his sons and guests, Xuan Boxi decided to search and rescue people immediately. After all, waiting was too passive for them.

Xuan Boxi immediately invited Li Duanchun into the meeting hall, and as soon as the man came in, Xuan Yi was startled by his appearance.I saw that his gorgeous deep clothes, which were supposed to be moon-white and darkly embroidered with silver thread, were slightly wrinkled at the moment, and there were a few stains on the light blue willow jade boots, and his hair was slightly messy, obviously it hadn't been combed in two or three days.The originally handsome face was gray and tired at the moment, and the blue and black under the eyes were particularly obvious. A good young man who was only eighteen years old was haggard at this moment.

Only the straight back can make people see a bit of youthful arrogance and elegance.

"Sect Master Xuan, everyone, I am very worried because I have not found my sister-in-law. I hope you will forgive me for being rude here." Although Li Duanchun was a little embarrassed, he was very polite, and he immediately apologized after seeing the ceremony.

"Young Master Li, you don't need to be too polite. I don't want to talk about false etiquette right now. I hope that Young Master Li can tell you the details one by one, so that my Xuan family can be traced."

It turned out that Li Duanchun went to Beijing with his father to present tributes, and passed through Yanzhou, which is adjacent to Shaoyang. Take her on the road.After the tribute was handed over, Father Li rushed back to Gusu first.The two siblings had nothing to do, so they planned to come to Shaoyang to get together with Xuan Yi and then go back. At any rate, they hadn't seen each other for more than a year.

The two played together, never thought that three days ago when they were visiting the night market in Qingshan Town at the junction of Yanzhou and Shaoyang, Li Fang took a fancy to the rouge gouache in a shop, and asked Li Duanchun to wait for her in a restaurant beside him, and wait for her to finish watching. to join him.Li Duanchun thought to himself, anyway, it's next door, so just shout if there's anything to do.Li Fang brought a sword again. Ordinary people would try their best not to provoke anyone with a sword, even if the person with the sword was a woman.The rouge and gouache shops are only visited by women, so it is not good for him to stay with a young man. Not only does it prevent the girl with yellow flowers from entering the shop to buy goods, but he is also embarrassed to stand there by himself, so he agreed to Li Fang and went to the next door. The restaurant ordered some snacks and waited while eating.

Who would have thought that after half an hour passed, there was no trace of Li Fang.I asked the owner of the rouge shop, and the owner said that Li Fang went out by himself, and I didn't see anyone making things difficult for her.

Li Duanchun thought that she might have gone shopping again, so she searched along the streets of the night market, thinking that the night market is only about ten feet long, and a path is straight back and forth, so it can't be lost here.In the end, after searching all the way back and forth twice, Li Fang was nowhere to be found. Now he was in a hurry.After asking door to door, I finally found a peddler who sold silk flowers, and said that he did see a woman with a sword passing by, heading northwest of Qingshan Town.Li Duanchun inquired anxiously again, but he heard that there is a small mountain group in the northwest. Because the terrain is like a dragon with twists and turns, it is called Jiaolong Mountain by the locals.

Li Duanchun himself is also a cultivator of immortals, and he knows that there are spirits in the mountains, and there are always mountain spirits, monsters, or temples and Taoist temples in ordinary mountains.But when I heard that although Jiaolong Mountain is not a long mountain range, its terrain is intricate and complicated, I felt uneasy at the moment, knowing that there must be something wrong with this matter.So I went to the local county magistrate, Xianjia, etc. to search and inquire with all possible forces, but learned that Jiaolong Mountain has been peaceful for many years and has never had any accidents.There are even temples and Taoist temples in the mountains, which don't seem to be haunted by evil things.Now Li Duanchun couldn't sit still anymore, he asked everything he could, and searched everywhere he could. He ran up and down Jiaolong Mountain a few times, but found nothing.

At any rate, Li Duanchun is a cultivator who has experienced preliminary training, and his cultivation base is higher than that of the unknown so-called immortal family in the local area.He clearly felt that there was a ghostly aura on Jiaolong Mountain, but he couldn't find it anywhere.After thinking about it, he felt that some kind of illusion or blindness might have been applied to this mountain, but he couldn't decipher it with his cultivation.

Really helpless, I had no choice but to come to the Xuan family, a great family of the immortal family who is close to Yanzhou.He came to visit with the post, not because of the private friendship with Xuan Yi and Xuan Rui, the two classmates, but in the name of the Li family. I hope that the suzerain of the Xuan family can pay attention to this matter and personally rescue him. .

After Xuan Boxi heard this, he immediately planned to use the Xuan clan to take action first, and if manpower is insufficient, he would recruit the sect masters of the immortal families to rescue them together. This matter must be resolved sooner or later, sooner rather than later.So he immediately picked up his saber and burned it, and ordered his three sons and disciples to bring their personal weapons and magic weapons, gathered more than [-] people in Banfeng Terrace, and each of them was equipped with a torch wrapped in a magic talisman.Led by Li Duanchun and the local yamen servants, eight teams were divided up from the pass of Jiaolong Mountain to gradually investigate into the depths.
