I practice ruthless way

The elixir melted in the mouth, slipped through the throat, passed through the lungs, spread to the limbs, and a refreshing feeling surged up, which lifted people's spirits.What Yan Wushu gives is always good.This person forcefully pushed him over, Xiao Man didn't thank him, just stared at him for a while, and said: "You found Jinshi Street with my blood."

"Hmm." The other party responded indifferently.

It is not surprising that Yan Wushu can do this. The relationship between them is bounded by heaven, and they are destined to have deep roots.Xiao Man withdrew his gaze and asked in a low voice, "What did you find?"

"I'll tell you when I get back." Yan Wushu said, picking up two lanterns from the stand, looking left and right, as if hesitating which one to choose.

"Then I'll go back to the post house first."

When the voice fell to the ground, Xiao Man turned around.He was wearing the dress that Yan Wushu had personally altered, with the cuffs closed, the sleeves were not as wide as the ones he usually wears, revealing a section of his wrist, which Yan Wushu could easily catch.

Yan Wushu held the sword in his hand all the year round, with a layer of calluses growing on his knuckles, which is not rough, but has a clear sense of presence. Xiao Man's fingertips trembled slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to break free, but this person was much faster than him. In the area, he pulled him back to the branch stand.

"Come, pick a lamp." Yan Wushu placed the two lamps he had chosen earlier in front of Xiao Man.

These are two revolving horse lanterns, the one on the left has flowers and birds painted on it, and the one on the right is a landscape painting.Xiao Man glanced at it, pulled his hand away with some force, and said indifferently, "Choose it yourself."

"I can't choose which one is better." Yan Wushu said in a drawn-out tone. At the end, he couldn't help muttering: "Do you hate me so much?"

"Then buy both." Xiao Man gave his opinion with a slumped face.

Yan Wushu said "OK", then turned to the stall owner and said, "I want both."

Hearing this, the stall owner beamed with joy, quickly wrapped up the lamp, handed it back to Yan Wushu, agreed a price, then cupped his hands at Xiao Man, and said courteously, "Thank you Ma'am."

Xiao Man: "..."

Xiao Man's face darkened, he turned around and left.

The radiance of the autumn moon falls into the street lights, the wind swirls and blows, and the night becomes colder and colder as the night progresses.Xiao Man walked around the corner and returned to the post house.

In the west wing of the front yard, the lights in the hut at the end have been turned on, and due to magic, no matter how many people are in the room, there is no shadow.Only after Xiao Man opened the door did he realize that Wei Chuyun and Qu Hanxing were also there, sitting around the table with Mo Juntian and Shitang, and discussing the matter of going to Jinshi Street at night to inquire.

"There's no need to go." Xiao Man closed the door behind his back and whispered to them.

Wei Chuyun asked suspiciously, "Why?"

Xiao Man walked over: "Someone found something for us."

"Who is who? Is it trustworthy?" Qu Hanxing was very surprised, looking at Xiao Man and asking.

Xiao Manfang opened his lips, and another person entered the room.No one could see how he got here, the door behind Xiao Man seemed to have never been opened and closed, and he appeared quietly.

The others stood up immediately, cupped their hands and saluted: "Senior Wu."

"Sit down." Yan Wushu's tone was casual, and he pulled Xiao Man over very naturally, and sat on the side with him, "I went to Jinshi Street before."

"Senior, what did you find out?" Qu Hanxing sat across from the two of them, leaning forward curiously.

This square table was placed against the wall, and Xiao Man and the others did not move it after they moved in, so there were only three sides where people could sit.Qu Hanxing and Mo Juntian sat on the same side, and the other side was vacant. Shitang moved the stool a little and sat down. Wei Chuyun came to her left and sat opposite Xiao Man and the others.

Water was boiling on the table, and no one knew who wanted to make tea. The water was not boiling yet, only a thin white mist rose.

"There weren't many people there, and it might be just one of the strongholds. From their speech and the decoration of the house, we can judge that they belong to an organization called Qingjiao." Yan Wushu said.

"Qing Kai religion?" "What thing?" "Sect?"

Qu Hanxing and the others looked at each other, no one had ever heard of it.

Yan Wushu smiled: "It's not surprising that I haven't heard of it. This sect disappeared as early as 30 years ago. They are a branch of Buddhism—if the Demon Buddha is also considered a Buddha."

Then I briefly talked about this sect: "30 years ago, the Qing Kai sect entered Cangguo, spread its teachings in the southwest area, and lured thousands of people to join the sect. 'Sacrificed' - that is, killed.

But things about dead people are always easy to be noticed. Not long after, Si Tianjian sent a group of practitioners to investigate.The Qing Kai Sect was quite difficult to deal with, and it took several months to destroy them. "

"Isn't the Western Bliss to go only after death? It's not too much to say that by the Qing Kaijiao." After hearing this, Qu Hanxing shrugged.

Xiao Man's focus is different from his: "Sacrifice to the Demon Buddha? Want to invite the Demon Buddha to come to the world?"

"En." Yan Wushu nodded.

"Then this group of people is the remnants of the group 30 years ago. What do they want to do when they come to Shenjing City?" Xiao Man asked again.

Yan Wushu said quietly: "What they wanted to do has already been done."

Xiao Man frowned: "What?"

"They plan to destroy the city of Shenjing, and now the preliminary preparations have been made, and they just wait for the ceremony to begin." Yan Wushu said.

When this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

The water on the stove was boiling and whistling, but no one paid any attention to it.After a while, Qu Hanxing recovered his voice: "Destroy... the whole city?"

Xiao Man tilted his head to look at Yan Wushu, and the emotions in his eyes contained several accusations: "You found this... You came back after exploring, and didn't do anything else?"

"Of course." Yan Wushu nodded, put out the fire in the stove with his sword fingers together, took off the pot, and was about to put a spoonful of tea in it, when he thought of something, he removed his hand from the tea pot, turned over a tea bowl, and put it in He poured a cup of water into the teapot, put it in front of Xiao Man, and then poured tea into the teapot.

The accusation in Xiao Man's eyes turned into anger, and he stared at Yan Wushu with wide eyes, almost wanting to take the blame.

Qu Hanxing hurriedly pressed his arm, called "Brother Man" twice in a persuasive tone, and then said:

"It's more or less time before the festival starts. Now that we know their plans and the water in the river is abnormal, isn't it easy to tell that they did something weird under the river?

As long as we dive down, find out their so-called 'preparations', and then destroy them, the threat of Shenjing City will be lifted. "

Yan Wushu originally wanted to reach out and pat Xiao Man on the head, but the current situation couldn't help it, so he had no choice but to lower his voice and explain to him: "It's just one of the strongholds, and the people who gather are not those who are in charge. There is nothing necessary to do.”

Then he refuted Qu Hanxing's proposal: "There is no need to be so troublesome."

"Then what?" Qu Hanxing asked immediately.

"Someone wants to move Shenjing City, Sitianjian, Imperial City Defense Army, and Shenjing Government Office. It is impossible to sit idly by. They must know the news. If you want to check down, just ask them directly." Yan Wushu said.

This time it was Qu Hanxing's turn to widen his eyes.Wei Chuyun frowned indistinctly.Mo Juntian rested his chin, staring at the constantly dancing candles on the table, thoughtful.

"What if they didn't receive the news?" Xiao Man put away the look on his face and asked Yan Wushu.

"Then let them investigate, we can't do everything for them." Yan Wushu twirled his folding fan and smiled casually.

Then he handed it over to Xiao Man: "This is the waist card."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!" Qu Hanxing quickly pulled Xiao Man up and walked towards the door.

Mo Juntian asked behind him: "Sitian Supervisor, Garrison Army, Government Office, which one should we go to first?"

Xiao Man stopped and thought carefully: "Si Tianjian manages the practitioners, the garrison is responsible for the safety of Shenjing, and the government office handles political affairs...go to the garrison."

Qu Hanxing took another step, and Mo Juntian asked again: "But do you know where the gate of the garrison opens?"

Xiao Man took out a map and looked at it: "East."

Several people went out immediately, Xiao Man couldn't take everyone to ride the wind together, Wei Chuyun sacrificed the cloud boat and activated the concealment formation.

The speed was adjusted to the extreme, and the exquisite and gorgeous cloud boat turned into a flash of light.

Yan Wushu didn't follow, he picked up the tea bowl slowly, and took a sip of the tea he made himself.

Too much tea leaves, a bit bitter.

He shook his head and put down the teacup.

The leader of the team next door surnamed Zhou appeared opposite Yan Wushu, saluted him, and asked, "Mr. Ling Guang, according to the regulations, Gushan shouldn't be too involved in such state affairs. Are you pampering them too much?" some?"

"Didn't you also promise to protect them?" Yan Wushu asked with a smile.

The Taoist surnamed Zhou gave another salute: "Good."

As the festival approached, the guards in Shenjing City became increasingly strict. The garrison's yamen was brightly lit, and people came in and out from time to time. The atmosphere was busy and serious.

Xiao Man and the others left the cloud boat and walked towards the vermilion lacquer gate. Before they got close, they were stopped by two overlapping spears.

"Idlers are not allowed to approach!" The person who stopped them said sharply.

Xiao Man's expression remained unchanged, and he took out the waist card given by Yan Wushu.

One of them took it, looked at it through the light, and his expression turned into shock: "It's actually... please allow me to report."

"Thank you." Xiao Man said lightly.

The man walked in quickly with his waist card.Qu Hanxing looked at his back and wondered: "What kind of waist card is it, so useful in this capital!"

Xiao Man didn't answer, and he didn't know very well.

After a while, the badge came back, and Xiao Man and the others were brought into the government office.Seeing the person in charge here, he cut straight to the point: "My lord, we are here for the Qing Kai Sect."

The person in charge is a practitioner, and his realm is about in the Guiyuan realm. When he saw a few children in the embracing realm, the solemn expression on his face disappeared, he flicked his sleeves, and said: "Qing Kaijiao? 30 years ago The cult that has been exterminated, what can we say? What can we do?"

"Why are you doing this!" Shitang looked disbelieving, "Their remnants want to destroy Shenjing City!"

The person in charge narrowed his eyes: "Destroy the capital? Is there any evidence?"

Shitang pointed to the outside and said: "There is something abnormal in the river, it is full of aura!"

Hearing this, the person in charge raised his hand, with the back of his hand facing outwards, and made a gesture of hurrying away: "You children, even if you have the waist card of that mansion, you shouldn't come here to mess around, go back, go back. Don't talk nonsense outside."

"You—" Qu Hanxing was a little angry.

But at this moment, a messenger came to the door quickly, bowed his knees and saluted, and said loudly:

"Report! My lord, the Qing Kai Sect's den at Xitangkou has been taken away, but those who were captured alive took poison and committed suicide one after another, and there is no one alive right now!"

This scene came so suddenly that not only Qu Hanxing and Mo Juntian, but even Xiao Man were stunned.

After a moment of almost treacherous silence, the person in charge of the garrison government office shouted angrily: "Idiot!"

The messenger soldier didn't know what he did wrong, and his expression was very innocent.

"No wonder there is more than one stronghold, it turns out that there is also Xitangkou." Mo Juntian was very emotional when he came back to his senses.

"Also? Do you know other strongholds?" The person in charge immediately turned around and asked them.

Xiao Man raised his eyelids, his attitude changed slightly compared to before: "On Jinshi Street."

"Is this true?"

"It's true."

The attitude of the person in charge is no longer condescending and disdainful, but has become solemn and polite, and he made a "please" gesture to Xiao Man: "Please lead the way."

This time, it was the car of the garrison.Xiao Man had already done some research on the map before, and when he came to Jinshi Street, he quickly determined the location.

The result is——

"Escaped."

On the streets full of stinky water and filth, the Imperial City Guards kept away those who tried to cast their gazes.The houses here are built in a mess, and the outer walls are dirty and black, and have not been cleaned for an unknown period of time.

Xiao Man scanned the surroundings, turned his eyes to the stone house being searched, and said two words in a low voice.

Far more than escape.

Yes, except for the sundries necessary for life, there is not a single thing that can be proved left in the house, and even the traces have been wiped out.

The person in charge is still ordering his subordinates to search carefully to see if there are any missing clues, and his tone is quite angry, which can be heard even outside the house.

Qu Hanxing walked out of the room shaking his head, and sneered angrily: "This level can also be the head of the garrison?"

"Even someone like me who hasn't read many military books knows that you can't act rashly until you know how many nests the enemy has hidden!" Shitang rolled her eyes, "It's all right now, let's scare the snake!"

"Maybe it will stimulate the Qing Kaijiao to act earlier." Mo Juntian sighed slightly.

"How did such a stupid person become the leader of the Imperial City Defense Army?" Shitang looked at the sky speechlessly.

"Because there has been no one in Shenjing City for a long time, and there is a large moat around the city, unless people from the Taiqing Holy Realm come in person, it will not pose a threat." Yan Wushu appeared on this street at some time and heard their conversation. Laugh softly.

"This is the person you asked us to find?" Xiao Man calmly said sarcastically.

Yan Wushu was choked speechless for a moment, and after a long while, he touched his nose and said, "I didn't expect this garrison general to be so stupid."

Xiao Man stared at him without looking at him. He took out the previous map from the Qiankun Ring and unfolded it for a look.

The red dot is still there, moving.

"Chasing?" The heads of the rest of the people leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"The garrison must know something that we don't know, let them talk about it first, and then chase after it." Xiao Man said.
