After the city of Luzhou was closed, many monks were forced to stay here, which caused great dissatisfaction among them. However, for Nanju Kingdom, Sima Liang's status was very important, so he did not hesitate to offend the monks and build a barrier to prevent murderers escape.

Among the monks who participated in the Treasure Appreciation Conference, there were quite a few arrogant ones who tried to break through the barrier, but this barrier was built with the strength of all the monks in the Yongning Hou Mansion, and it was difficult to leave with the strength of one person alone.Second, the Marquis of Yongning spoke well of the monks who attended the meeting, and entertained them with delicious food and drinks. They only said that they wanted to find the murderer, and had no intention of targeting other monks.Three days later, the magistrate of Luzhou made it clear that the city would only be sealed for three days, and after three days the monks sent by the imperial court would rush over to find out the truth, and then the ban would be lifted.

In these three days, only entry and no exit are allowed. Even if the influx of food from other places is not counted, the food stored in the city is already enough. It is inevitable.

Some said that Marquis Yongning had his own concubine killed, some said that Marquis Yongning was killed by a Nascent Soul cultivator who wanted to take away his cultivation, and some said Marquis Yongning had too many treasures in his family and dominated his wealth. In Zhou Yicheng, he violated the taboo of the king of Nanju. The king sent someone to kill him secretly, and on the surface he put on a gesture of finding the murderer to hide his eyes and ears.

The rumors are raging, which makes the truth more confusing, but they don't know that the murderer is walking on the street openly, wearing a white gauze skirt, tall and ethereal, wearing a white gauze hat, covering his face completely, looking like a man who doesn't want to show his face The female cultivator attracted the attention of many male cultivators. If Zhou Yin, who was next to her, was not in the way, she would have stepped forward to strike up a conversation immediately.

From the moment he walked out of the inn, Yun Zong already felt that his own attire was a bad idea that couldn't be worse. Those curious or admiring eyes fell on him, like thorns in the back, giving him the desire to kill.

But once he said a word, his arrogance did not allow himself to go back on his words, so he could only walk down with a cold face, ignoring all the eyes around him.

As if aware of his tension, although Zhou Yin was still expressionless, his eyes undoubtedly revealed a touch of joy, and it was rare for him to talk much.

He asked Yun Zong: "With the spirit stone on your body, it is more than enough to buy white jade tobacco, why do you want to steal it?"

Yun Zong said: "I didn't know that this kind of thing would appear in the Treasure Appreciation Conference before, but after it was in Sima Liang's hands, it was even more impossible for him to sell it to me."

Zhou Yin: "Why?"

Yun Zong: "I once killed the son of an elder from the Qinggu Sect. He has a close relationship with the Qinggu Sect and knows me."

Zhou Yin: "So you were discovered by him when you were taking white jade tobacco?"

Yun Zong: "No, the magical treasures and elixir he collected in this treasure appraising meeting were all prepared for Qinggumen. Two elders from Jinghai sent to Qinggumen with the treasures of the Zhenpai, but they disappeared halfway. whereabouts, so Sima Liang was ordered secretly, and also wanted to lure those two people out with the treasure."

The treasure of the Zhen faction is now in Zhou Yin's Sumeru ring, but the two elders have long been turned into bone dregs.

In other words, this kind of news must be kept secret by the Qinggu Sect, but this person can know it so clearly, his identity is definitely not a casual cultivator, let alone a disciple of a small sect.

Yun Zong said indifferently: "Sima Liang set up an inner room to raise women captured from good families, train them, and then send them to Qinggumen to serve as a furnace for the ancestor Le Xian. He is in the inner room. I was having fun in the room, exhausted my physical strength, and didn't even notice that I took the white jade tobacco grass, so I killed him, anyway, it was easy."

Zhou Yin: "..."

The two passed by a stall selling snacks, and Zhou Yin stopped for a while.

Yun Zong: "What?"

Seeing that Zhou Yin's eyes fell on the plum cake, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows. "Do you like this?"

"No." Zhou Yin looked away. "It's just that I raised a chicken before, and it likes to eat this."

Does this person raise chickens?

Chicken eating plum cake?

The corner of Yun Zong's mouth twitched, and a scene immediately appeared in his mind: Zhou Yin squatted on the ground, threw food crumbs on the ground, and said to the chicken expressionlessly, eat, eat, eat...

The enchantment was jointly built by ten foundation-builder monks and three alchemy-builder monks from the Yongning Hou Mansion, enclosing the entire Luzhou City along the city wall. Water cannot enter, needles cannot penetrate, and wings cannot fly.

The monks who came to participate in the Treasure Appraisal Conference were either casual cultivators who could hardly break through the barrier on their own, or they did not want to offend Qinggumen or Nanju Kingdom and were willing to wait a few more days before leaving.

Standing under the city wall, one can see a thin and almost transparent barrier like a water curtain, which reflects a slight sky blue as the sun shines.

"If I hadn't been injured, I might not be able to break through this barrier during the peak period of my spiritual power." Yun Zong stroked the bricks and stones on the city wall with his hand, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he didn't think highly of this barrier .

"If it is broken, this enchantment will directly affect the reaction of the person under the restriction. At that time, so many people will catch up, and we will not be able to handle it."

Yun Zong pondered and said, "Do you know the earth escape technique?"

"No, but it's not easy for thirteen people to maintain such a huge barrier. In some places, the defense will inevitably be weak. We can use this weakness to break through and buy us more time to escape after we leave the city."

"I've seen it. This enchantment only affects people. Birds, fish and insects are not affected. We can go out through the inner city river. It is much easier. We must use the shortest time to go out, otherwise my injuries will not be enough to sustain Too much energy consumption."

Zhou Yin hummed, and pointed out some points that need to be paid attention to when breaking through the barrier, and the two walked back.

The inn where he stayed was quite far from the city gate, and he needed to pass through the bustling market, so Yun Zong had to face those scorching gazes on him again.

Zhou Yin did not walk side by side with him, instead he was half a step behind intentionally or unintentionally, and lowered his head slightly. In the eyes of others, Zhou Yin was handsome and elegant, and looked like one of Yun Zong's admirers. Pay attention to him, there is really not much competitiveness at all.

"This girl wants to get out of the city but she didn't get it? Now that the city gate is closed, it's useless to worry, why don't you find a place to sit down and rest slowly, how about me?" A middle-aged monk in the early stage of alchemy came over, Blocking the way, he bowed his hands in a polite manner, his eyes flicked over Yun Zong's gauze hat, as if he wanted to see the face underneath.

Although the status of female cultivators is not as good as that of male cultivators, there are still many people flocking to beautiful female cultivators and are willing to flatter them. What's more, this woman in white is a rare golden core female cultivator. beautiful thing.

Such an obvious strike-up made Yun Zong's face completely black, and the murderous aura was almost shot out through the gauze cap, making the smile on the man's face almost impossible to maintain.

Naturally, he couldn't open his mouth to speak, he would be exposed when he opened his mouth, and he couldn't hurt others, otherwise he would startle the snake, so he had to hold back his breath, listen without hearing, and continue walking forward.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the man wanted to come forward again. Zhou Yin had watched enough of the drama, and finally said: "She is my Taoist companion, if you have anything to do, you may as well tell me."

The man sneered: "You are a foundation cultivator, people think of you?"

Zhou Yin said: "Maybe because I was born well."

Yun Zong couldn't take it anymore, grabbed his arm, used some spells, and the two disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Enough is enough, don't think I dare not touch you."

In the guest room of the inn, Yun Zong tore off the gauze cap with a ferocious look on his face.

Zhou Yin glanced at him, and even smiled rarely: "I'm just helping you lie."

Yun Zong sneered, reaching out to grab his back.

Zhou Yin avoided it slightly.

The spiritual power rolled out of the sleeve wrapped around his waist, and the other hand grabbed his shoulder and brought it towards him.

Zhou Yin reached out and patted his wrist.

The two pulled and tugged, and fell to the bed behind them. Yun Zong turned over and pressed him down.

Zhou Yin said: "Don't do such misleading actions in broad daylight."

Yun Zong's face twisted: "I warn you..."

Before the words were finished, there was a knock on the door.

"Guest, here comes the hot water you asked for."

Before Yun Zong could stop him, he heard Zhou Yin say, "Come in."

The shop waiter pushed the door open, with a bright smile on his face, he froze when he saw the situation of the two of them.

"Guest, guest, guest,..."

"Put your things down and you can go out."

Zhou Yin ordered with a blank face, and then said to Yun Zong, "I told you not to do such things in broad daylight."

Yun Zong's face was distorted.

The waiter in the shop laughed dryly: "Well, that little one has gone out, customers, go on, go on!"

……

That night.

There is an inland river in Luzhou City, which passes through the whole city, flows outside the city, and flows into Yangliu River.

Under the moonlight, the river water shattered with snow scales and gurgled gently, and the vegetation along the river was flourishing, swaying endlessly under the blowing of the night wind.

The two people in the water, because their bodies were covered by spiritual power, their clothes were not soaked, and they swam eastward along the water, which was the direction to leave the city.

Sure enough, the power of the underwater enchantment is much weaker than that on the ground.

I saw Yun Zong pull out the impermanent knife from the seal in his palm, and gently swipe towards the barrier. The blade is straight and narrow like a sword. If there is a red light on the blade, when the water touches the tip, it will be split into two halves instantly, and the barrier trembles slightly. , ready to split.

Without saying a word, Zhou Yin pierced the Lingyin sword into the opening he had just made, and cut it downwards. Wherever the sword edge went, the enchantment finally completely split, and the two could no longer be stopped.

"Go!" Yun Zong shouted, and swam out first.

Zhou Yin followed closely behind, and the two of them had no words all the way until they left the city, then they left the waterway and changed to land.

Yun Zong said: "The barrier was broken just now, and someone came out after us."

Zhou Yin: "Who is it?"

Yun Zong: "I don't know, they should be the ones who want to leave the city. As long as it has nothing to do with us, then don't worry about it."

The two of them spent a lot of spiritual energy breaking the barrier just now, but they couldn't use the magic weapon of flying at this time, so they had to pick a nearby forest to rest and take turns to meditate to recover their strength.

There was a sound not far away, and it was getting closer and closer, and it seemed to be in front of us in a blink of an eye.

Yun Zong's face changed slightly: "The man was discovered just now."

During the conversation, the other party was chasing after each other, and was already close at hand.
