[Xiu Xian] Traveling through unlucky Xian Xian

Chapter 2 The Mysterious Case of Yueli Town

?Yueli Town, this is a town close to Dongyang Kingdom, Beihai and Nether Blood Sea. Therefore, there are quite a lot of practitioners coming and going, forming a relatively fixed market. There will be once every about a year. The large-scale auction is one of the three major auctions in the Netherworld. The auction items include all kinds of rare treasures, skills, and anything that may be of great value.

At this time, the annual auction is approaching, and Yueli Town becomes more crowded and lively. The people here can also take this opportunity to start a small business and sell some specialties of Yueli Town.

Hong Lian looked at the bustling street, people in ancient costumes coming and going, and there were many vendors selling daily necessities, specialties and snacks on the side of the road. I can't walk, God knows how long I haven't eaten normal food, although the game I roasted by myself is authentic, but first, I can't eat it often, and second, there are almost no condiments.

"Honglian, don't you always think about eating these whole grains, okay? It's not good for your cultivation." The young master was very helpless, and the eyes of the little puppet were shining so that everyone around looked at him with strange eyes.

Hong Lian was concentrating on thinking about how to get rid of the people around her, how to exchange some ordinary things in the storage bag for some money to eat enough, but after hearing what he said, she said dissatisfiedly, "I've said all this and it won't affect me. , Didn’t you verify it at the seaside, and you also agreed not to call me Honglian again.”

"Even if this is the case, don't act like a starved ghost reincarnated. Others think that I, the master, abused you. Why don't you call you Honglian?"

"It's called Yuanxiao." A certain person said without hesitation. After speaking, he was in a daze. The name had been forgotten for so long that he felt an indescribable sense of strangeness instead.

The young master suddenly didn't realize it, and was very helpless, "Are you crazy about eating Yuanxiao?"

But at the end of the day, the young master walked over to the hawker selling yuanxiao, bought a copy and handed it to him, "Here, this is for you. I don't know if it's really so delicious."

Honglian came back to her senses and realized that he had misunderstood, but she was not so heartless as to admit that she didn't mean it. She happily took it and ate it. The steaming Lantern Festival just out of the pot should be very hot, but he didn't notice it. Just stuff them into your mouth quickly one after another. At this time, it must be said that after cultivation, there is no pressure at all, and there is no need to worry about esophageal cancer or anything.

Hong Lian walked, ate, and watched, and found that the stalls here were ordinary people, and the cultivators wandering around were also in twos and threes. He swallowed the last Lantern Festival, pointed to many stalls selling the same thing, and said vaguely, "These shiny What is it, why are so many people selling it, and the business is still doing well?"

"These beads are called Shark's Tears. They are produced at the bottom of Yueli Lake in Yueli Town. People believe that they can witness sincere love, and love that will never change until death can make it shine." The young master replied.

Honglian's eyes widened in surprise, "Is it really so amazing? Then why haven't you rushed over and carried them all away?"

The young master originally fanned a folding fan pretending to be elegant, but when he heard the words, he closed the fan unceremoniously, and nodded his forehead, "My young master is very picky, do you think I want anything as long as it is shiny? "

Honglian rubbed her forehead and slandered secretly, she didn't know who used all kinds of despicable means to deceive all the shining treasures of all the brothers and sisters of the Tongyun School, and only those fools were deceived and grateful.That's right, the young master of one of the two major sects in the entire Netherworld has an almost paranoid love for shiny babies, which is an unspoken secret.

But even though he has a fanatical hobby, it is true that he has a high vision. It seems that these so-called shark tears are just like ordinary glass beads. Love until death or something, seriousness really loses Bar.

But out of curiosity, Honglian still stopped in front of a stall, pointed to those beads and asked, "Boss, can this really shine? If you meet the so-called unswerving love."

The owner of the stall is a simple and honest middle-aged man, who has been smiling all the time. He is not angry when he hears this sentence that is suspected of ruining the scene, but he just said naively, "The tears of the sharks are the treasures of Yueli Town. Legend has it that the tears of the sharks shed for true love. , but no one has seen a luminous scene for thousands of years, so it is only a kind of good hope, usually bought by couples as gifts."

Honglian nodded, that's reasonable. If you can prove your true love with a bead, it's probably not far from the chaos of the world. He picked up a bead and held it in front of him, looking at the sun carefully. Beautiful, reflecting a moving halo.

Hong Lian looked at the beads, and the young master was looking at him, his porcelain-white face, the colorful light refracted by the beads reflected in his pupils, his round eyes were wide open, like a painting.

Seeing him looking at the beads, the boss said enthusiastically, "Young master, do you want to buy one, and give it to your sweetheart, girls will like it."

Honglian looked at the boss embarrassingly. He didn't intend to buy it at first, but he was a little embarrassed to squat here for a long time and asked and looked at it, so he secretly tugged on the sleeve of someone who was distracted and said, "Stop the demon, lend me some I will return the money to you." He left in a hurry without any gold or silver.

The young master gave him a gloomy look, then opened the folding fan and fanned it smartly, "What do you call me? What do you want?"

Hong Lian curled her lips, thinking, Tsundere is a woolen yarn, but the money still needs to be borrowed, "Master, good master, lend me some money." The young master was satisfied, and paid a lot of money to buy it.

The two continued to wander on the street, Hong Lian held the beads in her hand, thinking of what the boss said just now when someone paid for the beads and stuffed them for herself, she felt depressed for a while, the boss said to the young master, "This It’s also very good for the young master to buy it for the young master, true love does not distinguish between people.” Let me go, the boss’s thinking is so advanced.

Zhi Yao was in a good mood, he kept waving his fan leisurely, and even took time to explain the history to him.

The name of Yueli Town comes from a beautiful legend. According to legend, there used to be a mermaid clan living at the junction of the North Sea and the Nether Blood Sea. The mermaids are a strange race. No one can tell which category they belong to. , They are good at singing, and their singing is said to be able to charm the soul. They have fish tails and beautiful faces. They live in water, but they have wings on their backs.

The sharks are also good at weaving. The shark silk they weave is invulnerable to fire and water, and it is an excellent material for making armor. However, this has brought disaster to the sharks. The race that competes, Yue Ye Li Song, is extremely beautiful, so it is called Yue Li Town.

Hong Lian listened all the way, and couldn't help asking, "What happened to the poor shark people?"

Zhi Yao said, "The mermaids are one of the few races that are not afraid of the erosion of the blood sea. The only remaining royal family took the remaining clansmen through the Nether Blood Sea to find the passage of the Six Realms, and moved to the Criminal Realm."

"Then what happened to these shark tears?"

Zhi Yao took the beads from his hand, played with them, and was about to speak when suddenly a shrill cry pierced the sky, and then fell silent. It came from a courtyard. It turned out that they were talking while walking, and walked to a remote alley without paying attention.

The shout was too strange. As an upright young man, Hong Lian suggested to go and see what was going on, but Zhi Yao disagreed, and said with a frown, "We are running away from you now." Have you forgotten, it’s best not to cause trouble.”

Guren: "...then give me back the shark's tears."

Zhi Yao quickly put his hands behind his back, and continued to shake the fan with the other hand, smiling, "But it is our duty to help each other when we see injustice, let's go and have a look." Then he took Honglian's waist and jumped onto the roof lightly, Climb over the wall of the courtyard and enter.

Honglian murmured, "You said you didn't like it, why did you snatch it from me?"

Hearing his soft complaint, Zhi Yao curled his lips and mouthed silently, "Because it's yours."

The two fell into the courtyard, the courtyard was quiet, the doors were closed everywhere, and no one was seen. This situation is obviously abnormal. Even if it is not in the downtown area, there are voices outside, but there is no sound at all here.

Honglian tugged on Zhiyao's sleeve, nervously, "Why do I have a premonition of entering a haunted house?"

"It's not unusual, it should be because of the sound insulation enchantment." Zhi Yao saw the reason.

"Why do you know this kind of thing?" Guren was not convinced.

The young master was quite helpless, "You only use snacks when you are forced to practice the fire-fighting formula all day long. When did you care about the miscellaneous skills?"

Honglian coughed dryly, thinking that she was indeed sleeping when others were serious about cultivating, so she really had nothing to complain about, so she changed the subject, "That means there must be something wrong here, that's why I put a soundproof barrier on it. .”

Zhi Yao nodded, "I can smell blood." Then he pointed the fan at one of the rooms, "It's coming from here."

Honglian's blood was surging. As a good young man who was at least in the 21st century, he thought he still had a sense of justice, so he rushed over angrily and opened the door, and then froze. The scene in the room was shocking. Nausea.

A boy about twelve or thirteen years old was hung from the beam by his wrists. The boy was wearing a red dress, yes, it was a skirt. His body was dripping with blood, soaking the ground. One weighed mounds, with a needle stuck in his forehead, and his eyes were wide open.

Hong Lian's face turned pale. Whether it was in the 21 years of the 15st century or in the [-] years in this world, he had never seen such a horrible and weird scene. He tried hard to control his desire to vomit, and stood there holding the door .

Zhi Yao followed him, saw the scene in the room, frowned, wrapped his arms around his shoulders and led him away from the door. At this moment, the voice outside suddenly became clear. There were a few black spots approaching in the distant sky. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. , So he said to Honglian: "Let's leave here first, otherwise there will be no reason at the murder scene."

Hong Lian also clearly distinguished the priorities, and nodded solemnly, "I understand, I won't commit crimes, this is a high-density area of ​​cultivators, and the one who committed the crime just now is definitely not an ordinary person, go first and then think of a way."

Zhi Yao then made a trick, used a trick to cover his eyes, and nimbly took Hong Lian out of the small courtyard by the same path.

Not long after they left, a few people came with swords and stopped in the yard. Their expressions changed slightly when they saw the scene in the room. The leader was a middle-aged man who was the manager of Yueli Town. He was in the infancy stage, but at this moment, he had an anxious expression on his face. He said to a young man beside him, "Hegu, this is already the fifth incident this month. A 13-year-old boy died in a strange way."

The young man named Hegu comforted him, "It should be the demon cultivator who caused the trouble, master, don't worry, since the perpetrator came secretly, he should be afraid, so he should strengthen his protection."

The middle-aged man nodded and asked someone to tidy up the small yard.
