Sword Pointing at Qing Yuan

Autumn nights are as cool as water, when the night should be quiet, but the bleak wind is mixed with faint noises, making it difficult to sleep peacefully.

Qin Luoxuan patted Shen Zhou's shoulder, but there was no response.Shoot again, Shen Zhou turned around...

Qin Luoxuan grabbed Shen Zhou's quilt with all his strength and began to pull it out, but Shen Zhou would not let go of the quilt...

"Elder Brother! Senior Brother!"

Shen Zhou helplessly patted Qin Luoxuan who was screaming in his ear, and asked reluctantly, "What's the matter?"

In the middle of the night, can't you stop for a while?

"Eldest brother, something seems to have happened to the Shen family." Qin Luoxuan replied solemnly.

"Oh." Shen Zhou pulled the quilt, ready to go back to sleep.

Seeing this, Qin Luoxuan quickly grabbed Shen Zhou's arm, and asked hesitantly, "Brother, why don't we go and see what's going on?"

"I won't go." If you want to go, you can go by yourself, Shen Zhou rolled his eyes, but unfortunately the candlelight was dim, Qin Luoxuan didn't see it.

"咚咚-"

Before Qin Luoxuan could say anything more, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Zhou sighed secretly and had no choice but to get up and get dressed.

"There is a reason for disturbing the Taoist priest's rest, and I hope the Taoist priest will forgive me." Shen Yu bowed his hands respectfully.

"Sir Shen is too polite, I don't know why you came here this time?" Shen Zhou said politely.

"I have sent people out to investigate the matter entrusted by the Taoist priest, and no one with a red mole between the eyebrows has ever appeared in Yangliu Town."

Shen Zhou nodded.As expected, the purpose of Shen Sanshao's trip must not be this.

Seeing that Shen Zhou's face was normal, Shen Yu paused, and continued: "It's just that the people I sent out came back and said that three bodies that had been dead for several days were found in the Earth Temple on the outskirts of the city."

Shen Zhou looked at Shen Yu when he heard the words, and asked, "But what's wrong with this corpse?" Can't you honestly finish what you want to say at once, and you have to wait for someone to ask.

Shen Yu said with a bad expression: "The hearts of the three corpses were all pulled out."

"Is there a sword injury?" Qin Luoxuan asked immediately.

Shen Zhou looked up at Qin Luoxuan, but didn't speak.

Shen Yu also looked at Qin Luoxuan, and said with a sullen face: "It's strange here that the body has no trace of being injured by a sword, but it seems... as if it was directly torn apart by the claws of a beast from the outside. .If it was done by wild beasts, it doesn't hurt other parts, but only takes the heart... It seems unreasonable."

Shen Zhou kept paying attention to Qin Luoxuan, seeing that he was about to speak again, he hurriedly interrupted, "It's indeed a little unreasonable, since that's the case, I'll go check it out with my juniors tomorrow."

Shen Yu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Since the Taoist priest has made a decision, it is inconvenient for me to disturb you, and I will come back tomorrow."

After seeing off Shen Yu, when he turned around, he saw Qin Luoxuan's bitter face, and Shen Zhou sighed leisurely.

"Eldest brother, this should be the work of that demon cultivator."

Can't I see it...

"Well, let's go and see tomorrow."

Qin Luoxuan looked at Shen Zhou, and asked hesitantly: "Just now, senior brother, why didn't you tell Third Young Master Shen about the demon cultivator? At least it can alert the people he sent out."

First, he went back to Shen's house with Shen Yilin who had just met him, then he decided to stay and asked Shen Yilin's third brother to help him find the demon cultivator.Ever since he saw Shen Yilin during the day, he didn't understand why the elder brother would do such unimaginable actions in his opinion.

Eldest brother also didn't mean to reveal the matter of the demon cultivator, but let third brother Shen Yilin and other mortals participate in it, what is the intention?

"Luoxuan, why do you think we are here?"

"Naturally to capture the demon cultivator."

Shen Zhou nodded and continued to ask: "Then why do we keep a low profile?"

"Because this is the elder brother's decision."

Shen Zhou almost didn't bring it up in one breath, his choked face turned red.

The fool!Can't you think of something other than kendo? !

Coughing and coughing, he said seriously: "This is not only my decision, but also the master teacher. Do you know why?"

Looking at Qin Luoxuan's expressionless face, which was obviously puzzled, Shen Zhou could only sigh secretly, and explained: "You and I are Taoists, and it is our duty as Qingyuanzong disciples to eliminate demons and defend Taoism. But for mortals who have no power to protect themselves, the demon cultivator is an extremely terrifying existence. And the demon cultivator does not want to expose himself at this time, so he will be more careful in his actions and dare not act rashly. If the news of the demon cultivator is here If it spreads out, it will only make ordinary people panic, and that demon cultivator has no scruples, and is afraid that he will take advantage of the chaos and start killing."

"...Eldest Brother said so." Qin Luoxuan pursed his lips, hesitated, and still expressed his thoughts, "But Junior Brother thinks that since the demon cultivator has already started the killing ring, it is better for us to kill Qingyuan directly. If the news of Zong's capture of the demon cultivator is revealed, then the demon cultivator will definitely lose his footing, so we can take him down in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be better?"

Shen Zhou widened his eyes in surprise when he heard the words, and asked, "Junior brother, do you want mortals to be bait?"

How could the junior brother have such a cruel idea? !

Anyway, Qin Luoxuan didn't hesitate anymore, and simply admitted: "Junior brother really meant that. As long as the demon cultivator turns into his original form, we won't be able to perceive the demonic aura. How about the vast crowd?" Search? Besides, even if we don't take the initiative to reveal the news, how can it be so possible that many disciples of the Qingyuan Sect came to Yangliu Town to search for people without being suspected? Moreover, three people have already died, senior brother."

"So you think, even if a few more people die, it doesn't matter?" Shen Zhou asked with a cold face.

He originally thought that his junior brother practiced in Qingyuan Sect all the year round, and this is the first time he came to this secular world, many people's sophistication could not be comprehended, so it was inevitable that he behaved a little naively.He never thought that he was so pure and innocent that even human life was regarded as an ordinary thing and he didn't pay attention to it!

Qin Luoxuan grew up by Shen Zhou's side since he was a child, so he could see the displeasure of senior brother, but felt that he was not wrong, so he was unwilling to reconcile at the moment, and asked instead: "Brother dares to ask senior brother, if it is the way of senior brother, arrest him So what if you don’t get to the demon cultivator? Let the demon cultivator escape and kill more people? Junior thinks that his own method is the best, and he can capture the demon cultivator alive as soon as possible.”

Shen Zhou stared fixedly at Qin Luoxuan who was talking eloquently, his eyes became colder and colder, and he smiled angrily: "Oh, the younger brother's method is naturally the best."

Qin Luoxuan's heart sank immediately when he heard the words, what does senior brother mean?

"Okay, senior brother is also tired. Go to sleep with Lin Lin tonight, don't disturb my rest." Shen Zhou waved his hand, stopped going to see Qin Luoxuan, and went straight back to the bed.

Qin Luoxuan didn't dare to say anything at this time, so she could only leave the room with a sullen face, full of unwillingness and doubts.

Shen Zhou was lying on the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy, Qin Luoxuan's words just now seemed to echo in his ears, and his heart was cold.

He really didn't understand that he had brought up his younger brother single-handedly since he was a child, and he thought he had never treated his younger brother badly.There are no treacherous and ruthless people in Qingyuanzong, so why does the younger brother have such a cold and ruthless side?

Was he negligent?How should I explain to Master?

Early the next morning, Shen Yu directly knocked on Shen Zhou's door.

The disciples of Qingyuan Sect had already received Shen Zhou's signal and gathered in Shen Zhou's room early.With Shen Yu personally leading the way, they walked all the way to the Earth Temple on the outskirts of the city.
