The villain's junior brother turned out to have a crush on me

If it is said that the place Taixuanzong disciples are most afraid of going is the Law Enforcement Hall, and the place where they are often forced to go is the Cangshu Pavilion, then the place they are most eager to go to is the Mission Hall.

The commissions in the mission hall come from various places in the mainland of China. There are requests from ordinary people for help, and there are also rewards offered by the forces of the world. The difficulty varies from high to low, and disciples can choose according to their own level.If you can successfully complete the task, you can also get rewards such as elixir and magic weapon according to the difficulty of the task.

Compared with studying and meditating on the mountain all day, the disciples undoubtedly prefer to go down the mountain to practice, because not only can they sharpen their minds and improve their strength in real situations, but they can also take the opportunity to see the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers in various places.A group of new disciples have been fascinated by this for a long time, and recently they finally heard a piece of news:

"Have you heard, we can go down the mountain to do the mission!"

"real or fake!?"

"Of course it's true, Elder Yu told me personally! It's just because we are on a mission for the first time and have no experience, so we have to form a group to go together, and a brother will take us."

"Which brother?"

"I'm not sure about that. I heard that they used to be the senior brothers of Wu Zhaofeng or Yuhuafeng. This time it should be them too?"

It wasn't until the day they packed up their luggage and set off that they saw the senior brother leading the team. Excited and surprised expressions immediately appeared on their faces, and they shouted indiscriminately: "Senior Brother Meng Chen!!"

Who would have thought that they would be so lucky, and the senior brother leading the team would be Meng Chen!

In fact, the seniors at the Golden Core Realm are already very powerful, enough to deal with all kinds of situations down the mountain, even against ordinary demon cultivators.Nascent Soul Realm is definitely a master. The moment all the disciples saw Meng Chen, they all seemed to have taken a reassurance. They were a little worried about whether the task would be too difficult or dangerous, but now they have no worries at all. , only full of excitement!

Xue Lang, who had been standing silently at the end of the line, couldn't help raising his head quietly.

Because of going down the mountain, everyone didn't wear Zongmen school uniforms, but changed into their own casual clothes.Meng Chen also wore a moon-white robe, making him even more handsome.He passed the task scroll to everyone and said: "The difficulty of this task is moderately low, but you must not take it lightly. I ask everyone to maintain discipline and vigilance at all times, and do not act alone. If there is any abnormal situation, report to me immediately. "

The ten new disciples had different personalities, and some were honest and escaped. At this time, they were cute like little chickens in front of Meng Chen. They all stood at attention and answered loudly: "Yes!"

Meng Chen nodded, and distributed something to everyone one by one: "This is a sound transmission talisman, in case you get lost, you can use it to transmit sound to me."

Hearing this, Xue Lang felt as if a small stone had been rubbed into his heart, and unconsciously pursed his lips.

Sound transmission?

Does everyone have it?

With a stern face, he moved his gaze to look calmly, only to see that what Meng Chen sent to everyone was a bright yellow sound-transmitting talisman seal, which is a very common type in the cultivation world, not the small white paper crane.

The twisted heart immediately relaxed again, and the young man's expression changed from cloudy to sunny in an instant, and even raised a little bit of joy.

After Meng Chen distributed the sound-transmitting talismans, a female disciple named Lian Zhi looked at Xue Lang at the end of the team, then at Meng Chen, and after struggling for a long time, she still spoke weakly: "That...Senior Brother Meng, Xue Lang There are no sound transmission notes yet."

Meng Chen glanced at Xue Lang and said, "He doesn't need it."

The other nine disciples took a deep breath, and turned their sympathetic eyes to Xue Lang.

What this guy did before really offended senior brother Meng so much that he didn't even want to give him a sound transmission talisman!so poor! !

Xue Lang calmly met the eyes of the crowd who were "seeking good fortune", gathered the little paper crane obediently lying in his sleeves, and set off with the others down the mountain to Zhangbai Village in Heyang City.

According to the mission scroll, there have been a series of missing persons in Zhangbai Village recently, and the identities of the missing persons are very special, they are all newly married brides.The villagers thought that there were robbers robbing the marriage, and reported the situation to the government, but after several days of patrolling, no suspicious person was caught, and there was no clue about the whereabouts of the brides.So rumors gradually spread, saying that the bride was probably captured by a ghost.The villagers were startled and frightened, and after being reminded, they hurriedly asked the immortal for help.Taixuanzong was the closest to Heyang City, so he accepted the commission.

Meng Chen brought a group of people to Zhangbai Village.The village is surrounded by mountains, the traffic is blocked, and the villagers don't seem to be rich, and they have never seen what the rumored cultivator looks like.When they saw a group of people in fluttering clothes falling from the sky with their swords, they were all shocked and afraid, and they all moved away from each other, looking at them and whispering, only the villagers who lost their girls cried and surrounded come up.

"Immortal, please save my daughter!" The one who cried the most was a woman wearing a blue cloth scarf. She saw that Meng Chen was the leader at a glance, and knelt down at his feet with a plop, stretching out her hands tightly. Grab the hem of his robe.

Her hands were rough and chapped due to years of hard work, and there were streaks of black mud accumulated in her nails, which looked ugly, but Meng Chen didn't care, and gently helped the woman up: "You can tell me what happened in detail. ?"

The woman wiped her tears and said with a choked voice: "Not long ago, my daughter Erfeng was engaged to a child of the Zhang family in Heyang City. Three days ago, the welcoming team came to the village to pick her up. Come back and report that the bride is gone!"

As she spoke, she began to cry again. Some disciples were anxious and couldn't help asking: "Why didn't you see me?"

"It is said that the sky suddenly changed in the middle of the walk, a strong wind blew up and the sand and dust were blown up. The people who greeted the relatives hugged their heads and covered their eyes. When the wind and sand passed, they looked again, and the people in the sedan chair were gone!"

The disciples looked at each other in blank dismay.This sounds a bit strange, even if robbers snatch the marriage, it is impossible to create a sandstorm, right?

Meng Chen asked other people, and found that there were three families who lost their daughters, and the descriptions of the situation were similar to those of Erfeng's mother.

"Well, I have a question." The female disciple named Lian Zhi asked weakly, "According to you, the three brides got married three days ago, five days ago, and six days ago and disappeared. Then, since the first bride has disappeared, didn’t the latter two realize that something was wrong? Why continue to hold the wedding?”

When the woman in the blue turban heard this, her expression became even more furious, and she cried and called a tall, thin man who was huddled behind without saying a word: "I have already said that after the accident between Osmanthus fragrans and Erya, Erfeng will not be allowed to marry, but Her father disagrees! You are pushing the daughter to death with your own hands!!"

Erfeng's father got angry after being slapped twice: "Can you blame me? When Osmanthus Erya had an accident, she thought it was an accident. Who would have thought that Erfeng could be lost too? Can I still harm my daughter? And this marriage It's been settled long ago, how can I explain to the Zhang family if I regret it temporarily? We can't afford to offend them!"

A disciple asked: "Can't afford to offend? What does the Zhang family do?"

The man said: "They run a pawn shop in Heyang City. It is a blessing to see my daughter, how dare we regret our marriage?"

"The one who runs the pawnshop must be rich." Xue Lang suddenly said, "So it's not that you don't dare to regret the marriage, but you are reluctant to part with the gift money from the man."

When the other disciples heard it, they all showed stunned expressions. Erfeng's father seemed to have been stepped on and hurt his feet, his face was blue and red, and he looked like he wanted to curse, but he was afraid of Xue Lang's status as an "immortal" and did not dare to go too far Presumptuous, so he vented his anger on his wife, grabbed her arm and shoved her hard, angrily said: "I have already said that this matter should be handed over to the government, you insist on calling these 'immortals' here! What can they do? How can there be ghosts in this world? It's ridiculous!"

All the disciples showed expressions of displeasure when they heard it, impatiently wanting to speak out, but seeing Meng Chen raised his hand lightly, they immediately suppressed what they wanted to say, stepped back and stood still.

"We have already understood the situation." Meng Chen said to the woman in the blue turban, "We still have to go to Heyang City, and we will come back and tell you when things come to fruition."

The woman sent them away gratefully.Meng Chen and others came to Heyang City again, and first went to Zhang's pawn shop.

"I didn't expect such a good person to disappear!" The owner of Zhang's pawn shop was over seventy years old. When he mentioned this matter, his chest was tight and short of breath. The man in the pawn shop quickly poured water on his chest. "Ah De has reached the age of marriage. I specially asked someone to calculate her birthday, and the matchmaker said that the girl Erfeng was handsome and good, so I made an appointment for this marriage. Who would have thought that the bride would not be able to escape on the way?" Already!"

"This is really strange." The man who was busy just now whispered, "I was in the welcoming team at the time, and I was walking well all the way, but suddenly it was dark, and then it started to blow strong winds. The wind It's so evil, we strong men were almost blown away, and no one cared about the bride in the sedan chair for a while, and only after the wind died down did we find that the sedan chair was empty."

Some disciples couldn't help but said: "The bride was blown away by the wind, right?"

"Impossible." The man said without hesitation, "The place is so big, we searched for it countless times but still didn't see anyone. Let me tell you," his voice lowered, "This matter is caused by ghosts. "

After leaving Zhang's pawnshop, everyone went to the homes of the betrothed parties of Osmanthus and Erya, namely the Li family and the Wang family, one was a salt merchant and the other was a cloth merchant.Although the attitudes of the two companies were very cooperative, they did not provide any new and useful clues.

After coming out of Wang's house, it was getting late.Meng Chen looked at the group of new disciples and asked, "What do you think?"

All the disciples were stunned, like students being questioned by the master, racking their brains one by one, trying to give their own analysis:

"I think these are ordinary people, and their anxious expressions don't seem to be pretending. It should have nothing to do with the bride's disappearance."

"I think so too. Ordinary people don't have the ability to change the weather, and it's probably caused by demons!"

Meng Chen listened to the speeches of the disciples one by one, and finally asked: "Xue Lang, how about you?"

"I have two questions." Xue Lang was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "First, the parents and elders of the man who came to receive us, why didn't the original groom show up? The bride is lost, the most anxious person should not be the groom ?"

"Second. The three families of Zhang, Li, and Wang are either rich or noble. They are all prestigious families in Heyang City. Marriage should be based on the right family. Why do you take a fancy to a few peasant girls in the remote Zhangbai Village?"
