After passing through the book, he will be a backer for the poor villain

Yunzhou City.

Yan Bai led his juniors to fly with swords, and soon arrived in Yunzhou. The city is full of ordinary people who are not suitable for flying with swords. They started walking a few kilometers outside the city to learn about the situation.

Along the way, Yanbai was talking about the precautions for training, for example, brothers and sisters in the same school should help each other, not hurt others because of their own interests, and not publicize their identities everywhere, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble...

The original Yunzhou City was very lively, even singing and dancing at night was normal in life, but now just after sunset, people on the street rushed to their homes one by one, and the vendors even closed their businesses.

Xie Qingyin looked at these shops that were in a hurry to close, and turned around and asked:

"Brother, where are we going to stay tonight?" Next to Xie Qingyin were Xuan Qing and the disciples of the other two peaks, named Chen Sheng and Qin Chao.

"Don't worry, see the Red Mansion Inn ahead, we'll rest there tonight."

Hearing this, everyone raised their heads and looked in the direction Yan Bai said, and saw the inn at a glance. This inn was different from other businesses, and it didn't mean to close the door at all. There were even a few strings of red lanterns hanging on the door, which read I can't read the words clearly.

Xuan Qing tilted her head slightly, she didn't know what she was thinking in her dark and moist eyes.

Following Yan Bai's words, Chen Sheng asked out his doubts:

"Eldest brother, why is that inn so bold, isn't it afraid of the demon in the city who specializes in gouging out people's hearts?"

Qin Chao also felt that it was too strange, and echoed: "That's right, could it be that the shopkeeper is a powerful character? His cultivation is very high?"

During the conversation, several people had already arrived at the door of the inn. The waiter in the room looked at them with a face of fear, and then quickly withdrew his gaze, as if he didn't dare to glance at the street more.

"Guest officers, please come in!"

Yan Bai nodded: "Let's go, aren't you curious? I'll bring you to meet shopkeeper Xu. I also happen to have something to ask her."

The night has slowly shrouded, dark clouds cover the moonlight, the entire Yunzhou City is dark, and there is no trace of fireworks, and there is a big difference between day and night.

The shopkeeper Xu Yanbai was talking about was a woman whose age could not be discerned. She was dressed very gorgeously, with a plump figure and a hint of charm in her eyes. She was sitting on a chair with a round fan in her hand. The posture is enchanting.

When Chen Sheng saw it, his body tensed up, and his skin got goosebumps. He would believe that the shopkeeper was the heart-gouging demon in the city.

Yan Bai took a step forward, saluted the woman, and then said:

"Master Xu, we want five rooms."

The woman raised her half-closed eyes slightly, and glanced across the few people in the room, and finally paused on Xuan Qing, then quickly retracted her gaze, and said lightly:

"Twelve taels of silver."

Chen Sheng's eyes widened: "Twelve taels?! What a black shop, in broad daylight, isn't this a scam?" This price is three times more expensive than the best inn.

Xu Mingjiao's beautiful eyes showed impatience, and she gestured towards the door with her chin.

It probably means to say, get out if you can't stop!

Right now, the entire Yunzhou City is like an empty city. Let alone staying in a hotel, it is difficult to see a living person. If you don't live here, you have to sleep on the street.

Yan Bai gave Chen Sheng a hand, stepped forward and paid the money neatly.

"Don't mind shopkeeper Xu, these are all my fellow apprentices. I believe shopkeeper Xu understands the purpose of coming to Yunzhou this time."

"Chen Sheng, quickly apologize to Shopkeeper Xu!"

Seeing Yan Bai's attitude, Chen Sheng also knew that he had offended a powerful person. He had to bow his head under the eaves, and immediately gave up.

"I'm sorry, the proprietress. I'm the one who can't speak my mind. Don't mind it. The proprietress is so beautiful, so I should charge more money."

Yanbai's eyes twitched: "..."

Xie Qingyin and Qin Chao suppressed their laughter, while Xuan Qing was expressionless.

Xu Mingjiao withdrew her eyes and snorted softly, she didn't care about it.

Xiao Er served the food, and the few people were hungry all day long, and the wind blew outside again, and the cold wind blew straight into the room, carrying a faint smell of blood.

Xie Qingyin put down the bowls and chopsticks, got up and closed the doors and windows, but saw a dark human figure outside, his half-closed eyes suddenly widened:

"Brother!! There are monsters!"

After the words fell, Xie Qingyin had already picked up the sword and rushed out to get entangled with the black shadow. Everyone in the room quickly got up and headed towards the door. Yan Bai moved the sword, and the sword body stabbed at the black shadow with white light, and the black shadow dispersed instantly. , fled in all directions.

"Thank you, brother, are you alright?"

Xie Qingyin shook his head, the air after the fight was still filled with a rotten smell.

"I'm fine, what was that just now?"

For a moment no one answered.

Xu Mingjiao didn't seem to be surprised, she turned her head to the people outside the house and said, "Can you come in and talk?"

Xie Qingyin smelled the smell on his body, it was many times stronger than what was in the air just now, it made his stomach churn, so he hurried upstairs to take a shower and change clothes.

Chen Sheng and Qin Chao turned pale because of this incident. Even though their cultivation was not bad among their peers, they had never met a real monster, and the unknown made people feel uneasy.

"Shopkeeper Xu, do you still remember when Yunzhou City first found out that someone had their heart gouged out?" Yan Bai asked.

Holding the teacup in her slender wrist, Xu Mingjiao said unhurriedly:

"A month and a half ago."

At first, someone found a dead body with its heart gouged out in the cabin by the river bank. After reporting to the police, they failed to find any useful clues. The woman died very strangely. There was no other wound on her body, only the heart. It's a bloody hole.

The government couldn't track down the perpetrator, so they had to post a notice and list it as an unsolved case. Whoever can provide clues will be rewarded. Unexpectedly, a second body was found three days later, which died in the same way as the woman in the cabin.

Such cases started to happen every few days. The people in the city panicked and begged the government to solve the case every day. They even invited many fortune tellers from the rivers and lakes to do it, but they all ended up tragically.

Later, the person who was an official ran away, and now there is no one in Yunzhou City, and there are twenty or thirty people who have been heartbroken.

Xuan Qing, who hadn't spoken a word all night, asked now: "The dead are all women?"

Xu Mingjiao nodded and gave him an extra look:

"The women who died were all beautiful girls who were well-known in Yunzhou City."

Chen Sheng stared at Xu Mingjiao again with his eyes widened because of these words, and he felt more and more that there was something wrong with the innkeeper, but this time, Chen Sheng was winking and didn't say anything.

Xu Mingjiao seemed to see what Chen Sheng was thinking, she smiled softly at Chen Sheng and said:

"If I am that monster, I will gouge out your heart tonight!"

The wind howled outside the door, and Chen Sheng was so frightened that he was so concentrated that he stammered:

"Well... well, I'm sleepy, so I'll go upstairs first, you guys continue." Chen Sheng said, looking towards the dark second floor, feeling fearful in his heart, he glanced at Xuanqing and then turned his gaze on On Qin Chao:

"Qin...Qin Chao, you go up with me."

Only Xuanqing and Yanbai were left on the table, and the food became dull, Xu Mingjiao seemed to have no desire to speak, she leaned on the chair and closed her eyes, her face was beautiful and charming under the candlelight. weird.

"Brother, then I'll go upstairs too."

Yan Bai followed suit, and said to the man on the armchair, "Master Xu, rest early."

Xu Mingjiao didn't speak, she seemed to be asleep, Yanbai looked away, and went upstairs with Xuanqing.

The rooms of the five of them are all on the second floor, in fact they are the only ones staying in the entire inn, Xuan Qing was about to enter the room, Yan Bai stopped him:

"Brother, come with me."

Soon the five of them gathered in one room, but the chairs downstairs were long gone.

Yan Bai pointedly pointed out: "You must have questions to ask me, such as why this inn dared to open the door, right?" After speaking, Yan Bai did not wait for an answer and began to explain:

"The shopkeeper Xu's name is Xu Mingjiao, and she was originally the daughter of Xu Xun, the head of the Liuli School."

The candlelight in the room was flickering, and Xie Qingyin asked doubtfully, "The Liuli sect? Why haven't I heard of this sect?"

Yan Bai said: "Because the Liuli School was exterminated 20 years ago."

Chen Sheng opened his mouth wide, then quickly covered it: "Miemen?!"

Yan Bai hummed: "In one night, more than 300 people died, and I heard that they didn't even hear a single movement. The gate of the Liuli School was closed the next day, and no one discovered it until blood seeped out of the gate. "

Several people were covered in cold sweat hearing this.

"In addition, Xu Mingjiao's cultivation has reached the Golden Core, so ordinary monsters will not take the initiative to provoke her."

Chen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I thought she was a monster. It always looks weird, but I can't tell."

Yan Bai picked up the saber, glanced out of the window, and explained in a low voice:

"Now I'm going to investigate in the city, Xuan Qing will follow me, Qing Yin, Chen Sheng, and Qin Chao will stay with you three, remember not to act rashly, we will go back quickly."

The entire Yunzhou City couldn't see a ray of light, and the city was full of evil spirits, adding a sense of melancholy, which made people feel unspeakably cold, from head to toe.

At night, all the dormant monsters came out to breathe.

There is magic!Yan Bai frowned slightly.

The demons were suppressed as early as 15 years ago, and now there are demons in Yunzhou City?Also swaggeringly appeared on the street.

It seems that the situation in Yunzhou City is far more serious than they imagined.

Suddenly, Xuan Qing's gaze became sharp, and he said to the people next to him in a low voice but hastily:

"Brother, look to the south, there seems to be someone!"

people?He still believes that there are monsters, but how can there be people?

Yan Bai looked in the direction Xuan Qing said, and actually saw a person. The fog was too thick, and it was a woman's figure, but the monster next to her didn't attack her. This scene was really weird.

"Brother, that woman is definitely not human, her clothes..." Xuan Qing frowned slightly, as if thinking of something, his face changed.

Yan Bai continued: "It's very similar to Xu Mingjiao! But it's not her, it's a monster."

The pitch-black sky was like lightning, and the hurricane hit, rolling up countless fallen leaves on the ground. The two quickly cast spells to stabilize the swords under their feet.

"Junior Brother Xuanqing, let's go back first."

On the other side, Chen Sheng returned to the room from the outside with his heart beating, closed the door softly, and whispered to the people in the room:

"The shopkeeper is gone!"

Both Xie Qingyin and Qin Chao were shocked:

"What do you mean missing?"

Chen Sheng first poured himself a cup of tea, and gulped it down.

"There is no room on the first floor. She will definitely not live with us on the second floor, but this room is next to the stairs. We are all immortals, and our ears are more sensitive than ordinary people. No one goes to the third floor. Do you think she will?" Could it be a monster? It looks so powerful..."

After Chen Sheng's words, Xie Qingyin and Qin Chao were also in shock. If it was really a monster, even Senior Brother Yanbai couldn't see it, probably with thousands of years of cultivation.

The window squeaked.

It was Yanbai and Xuanqing who came back.

"Senior brother, how is it? Let me tell you, that shopkeeper Xu is gone!" Chen Sheng jumped anxiously.

"It's gone?" Yanbai also uttered in surprise, he turned his head to look at Xuanqing, the two exchanged glances, Yanbai said with a solemn expression:

"When I was investigating with Xuan Qing just now, I saw a woman in the city who looks very similar to Xu Mingjiao, but I'm sure it's not her."

Things got more and more complicated, they couldn't even figure out the bottom line of each other, and they were completely unaware of the demon invasion before it came, and now things are beyond their ability.

"How about it." Yan Bai thought about it.

"Don't act rashly, I will use Qianliyin to send a message back to Tianqing Peak tomorrow morning."

Everyone nodded, that's all they can do now.

There was a gleam of light in Xuanqing's lowered eyes, but it immediately dimmed again. Master is the head of Tianqing Peak, how could he come to Yunzhou casually, maybe other elders came.
