A quarter of an hour later, all the candidates gathered in the main hall of the backyard.

Mu Linjiang stepped into the door with an umbrella in hand, and the tip of the umbrella lightly touched the door, and a thin and light purple barrier spread along the edge of the main hall.

Yin Si and Cheng Jiu stood on the left, knelt down on one knee to salute, Ye Yunzhou stood up from the chair as a sign of respect, Shi Xiaomei quickly followed suit, wondering whether to kneel, what is the standard posture, Mu Lin Jiang had already raised his hand to signal the two to get up, went straight to the top of the main hall, poured a cup of tea, and put it back on the tray.

"Why did you come here? You have exchanged information in private, right?" Mu Linjiang glanced around, "To make a long story short, those who dare to offend the Palace of Silent Night have to die."

Shi Xiaomei couldn't help becoming nervous. She felt a chill in the room, which made her hands and feet stiff. She secretly looked up at Cheng Jiu. Cheng Jiu and Yin Si also lowered their heads. Ye Yunzhou was using the lid of the cup to remove the Tea can handle with ease in a stagnant atmosphere.

"Miss Shi." Mu Linjiang looked at Shi Xiaomei, "I have a task for you."

Shi Xiaomei subconsciously said: "Yes!"

"Miss Shi, relax." Ye Yunzhou sipped his tea and smiled, "We discussed earlier that you should go undercover next to Hall Master Ying. I'm sorry, but due to time constraints, we didn't inform you in time when we made the decision. You, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I agreed a long time ago." Shi Xiaomei was relieved when she heard that it was this, if she was asked to go (⑸), she really didn't have the confidence to practice for a few days.

"You take this Qiankun bag, I've sorted out some useful magic weapons." Mu Linjiang took out a pouch from his sleeve, and threw it to Shi Xiaomei, "How is the master of the palace, other people's comments must be different. As for the truth, you can understand and judge by yourself, and organize and record what you think is problematic. You don’t have to be too nervous, just treat it as a decent job with a generous salary. It is under the control of spells, if you are in danger, retreat as soon as possible and bring the news back."

"Well, I understand." Shi Xiaomei smiled when she heard the words, and she was already able to use her spiritual sense to check the space of the Qiankun bag skillfully. There were some precious high-grade teleportation scrolls, stacks of talismans and defensive magic weapons inside, and even she could see Great value.

"Cheng Jiu, have you finished what I want?" Mu Linjiang pressed down with his fingertips, making Shi Xiaomei sit down, and turned to look at Cheng Jiu.

Cheng Jiu stood up and replied tremblingly: "Master, the compass to track the direction of the remnant soul has been completed. As long as the remnant soul is within a radius of a hundred miles around the owner of the compass, the position can be accurately tracked. Farther away, the accuracy will gradually decrease.”

"Yeah." Mu Linjiang nodded without criticizing anything, "It's still effective."

Cheng Jiu took out the compass and walked to the center of the main hall, releasing a trace of spiritual power. The palm-sized compass hovered over his fingertips. The inner disk was densely marked with some numbers of stems and branches and runes of the magic circle. After the spiritual power was poured in, the runes Flashing one by one, the pointer in Tianchi rotated instantly, and then slowly stopped in one direction.

"...The remnant soul is now in the northwest, but it is more than a hundred miles away, so we can only roughly confirm it." Cheng Jiu glanced outside the door. They are now in Fengyan City, and Wucheng is in the northwest. "Palace Master, my subordinates have finished making two compass so far. To ensure Shi Xiaomei's safety, my subordinate Qiao brought this compass for her."

"That's exactly what I mean." Mu Linjiang agreed.

"There are also these few talisman seals, which can distinguish the magic breath in the body of the person who is bewitched by the remnant soul." Cheng Jiu took out the talisman paper again and divided them between Ye Yunzhou and Shi Xiaomei.

Ye Yunzhou thanked her, Cheng Jiu is indeed good at it, if Shi Xiaomei got the identity of Ying Xuanyang, tried secretly with a talisman and found that Ying Xuanyang was controlled, then the matter would be much easier.

"It can't be seen that Mr. Cheng still cares about Miss Shi." Ye Yunzhou put away the talisman and laughed and teased.

Cheng Jiu was taken aback for a moment, and quickly said: "They are all working for the Lonely Night Palace, and the subordinates should share the worries of the Palace Master."

"Thank you, Master! I will live up to everyone's expectations." Shi Xiaomei stood up and saluted Cheng Jiu.

Ye Yunzhou raised his eyebrows: "Master Cheng, you have accepted an apprentice. Congratulations."

Cheng Jiu didn't seem to want to be this master, so he gave Shi Xiaomei a stern look. With Ye Yunzhou as the gossip leader, he dared to reply: "It's just teaching the mind method for two days, it's not a master, Mr. Ye Don't make fun of your subordinates."

"I became a monk halfway, and my brain is not very sharp. I am very grateful that Master is willing to teach me patiently." Shi Xiaomei didn't care about Cheng Jiu's refusal, "I will pay respect to Master after I build the foundation!"

"Little girl, how many times have I told you not to accept apprentices!" Cheng Jiu's headache was so severe that Shi Xiaomei dared to look at Ming Tong, but he was just fierce and could not deter Shi Xiaomei at all.

They were either laughing or annoyed, Ye Yunzhou glanced up the main hall, Mu Linjiang pressed his elbows on the table of the Eight Immortals, bent his knuckles against his temples, and looked down silently, lifeless, with an imperceptible light in his eyes laugh.

Ye Yunzhou looked sideways at Mu Linjiang, and for a moment the voices around him suddenly disappeared, leaving only the boundless emptiness and silence that separated him from his surroundings.

"Miss Shi, don't worry, I absolutely support your apprenticeship." Ye Yunzhou ⑷ささささ "After this busy period, I will help you whisper in the ear of the palace lord and transfer your master back to the Lonely Night Palace."

"Young Master Ye is a good man." Shi Xiaomei boasted immediately.

Ye Yunzhou, who had suddenly accepted a card, glanced at Mu Linjiang, Cheng Jiu immediately scowled when he heard the word Palace Master.

"I will consider it." Mu Linjiang said unexpectedly calmly, staring at Ye Yunzhou and smiling, "You don't need Mr. Ye to blow your hair."

Ye Yunzhou shrugged: "That's right, I'm a good person in front of the Palace Master, and that's what I call a classmate's axe."

Cheng Jiu was flattered, and quickly bowed to salute: "Thank you, Palace Master, for your generosity!"

Mu Linjiang participated in the topic, became brighter visible to the naked eye, sat up straight and continued: "Yin Si."

Yin Si has been keeping his eyes focused on the sidelines, using the sound transmission jade slips to monitor the progress of the search and issue orders. When he heard Mu Linjiang calling him, he turned around and cupped his hands and said, "My subordinates have dispatched all the monitoring magic weapons near Huixian Building. The chef surnamed Li has been dispatched." Leave it to the practitioners of magic arts to search for today's relevant memories, compare them in detail, and within a day, the subordinates will definitely capture the person who cast the illusion."

"Yes." Mu Linjiang responded, "One last thing."

He stood up with the edge of the table, walked to Ye Yunzhou's side, and stretched out his hand.

Ye Yunzhou thought for a while, and handed him the bowl containing his fingers.

Mu Linjiang drew out a complex spiritual power array by the side of the bowl, and the swollen and shapeless ring finger rose with some red lights, which merged into the array. With a wave of Mu Linjiang's hand, the image shrank into a The size of the badge slowly floated towards Yin Si.

"The clarity of this concentric array indicates whether Wei Yi's life is in danger." Mu Linjiang explained, "You can print it anywhere. If the array disappears, it means that something bad happened to him."

"Your subordinate understands." Yin Si nodded, raised her cuff a little, and let the formation map land on her right wrist.

When Ye Yunzhou noticed that Mu Linjiang said those four words, he didn't seem to care, but he clenched his hands secretly, obviously not indifferent.

"Discuss the rest of the details yourself, Miss Shi, you will set off on a suspended boat tomorrow morning, and someone will pick you up from the Lonely Night Palace, Young Master Ye will follow me." Mu Linjiang held the umbrella and flicked his sleeves for Ye Yunzhou to follow.

"Where are you going?" Ye Yunzhou asked curiously after quickly catching up with him.

"Find a restaurant and go eat." Mu Linjiang frowned.

"If you have money, don't let your Huixian Building earn it." Ye Yunzhou shook his arm and touched him.

"The entire Silent Shadow is my territory." Mu Linjiang said lightly, "It's all my home."

Ye Yunzhou thought it was okay, but I was speechless.

Ye Yunzhou comforted him and said: "Actually, you don't have to take care of me too much. I have the Bigu Pill, and I know you are precious. I can understand the shadow of the pot when I fish out my cronies' fingers from the pot."

Mu Linjiang: "...I have no shadow."

Mu Linjiang said frankly: "Stomach hurts, Min Rong!

Ye Yunzhou slandered Mu Linjiang because he might not have been in a meeting for a long time, and he was not used to the atmosphere. He patted Mu Linjiang on the shoulder and said sympathetically, "Master, whether you want to add wolfberries or red dates, I will drink with you."

Mu Linjiang and Ye Yunzhou stepped out of Huixian Building, and let the guards who were following far behind retreat back. They took out their hair ties to cover their eyes, lowered their umbrellas, and walked side by side with Ye Yunzhou on the flat, busy road.

"When the Battle of Qinglei Mountain ended, Wei Yi had just joined the Suxiao Guard." Mu Linjiang said slowly, "At that time, he hadn't inherited the title of Wei Yi. He was passionate, pure and persistent."

"This memory is really magnificent." Ye Yunzhou complained in a low voice.

"He is the miraculous owner of the Lonely Night Palace in Dongdong, the guard of the lord Yanyu, but when we actually see him, it's not the same thing." Mu Linjiang snorted.

"Frightened by you, the fan turned around." Ye Yunzhou said with a smile.

"He has done a good job in the position of commander. He has been loyal to his duties. He has blocked the knife for me and spilled blood." Mu Linjiang shook his head slowly and sighed slightly, "but that was out of duty. He is now If he is imprisoned, I'm afraid he won't expect me to save him."

Ye Yunzhou rested his chin on his chin and thought about his speech, which could be described as tender, and concluded: "Simply put, you are so cute and thoughtful, and you are so uncomfortable when people treat you as their boss."

Mu Linjiang: "..."

Mu Linjiang was a little annoyed, and hissed: "Ye Yunzhou, don't distort my words."

"I don't think I have." Ye Yunzhou suppressed a smile, "How about the restaurant in front? Hurry up and eat, when you save Wei Yi, he will definitely look at you with admiration, and love just happened like this."

Mu Linjiang shook his sleeves and left first, cursing in a low voice: "You talk nonsense, a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, with Wei Yi's ability, you and I don't need to worry about him."

"Wait, old man, don't go too fast!" Ye Yunzhou chased after him and grabbed his sleeve, "People thought I was abusing the elderly, so I didn't even buy a blind cane."

Mu Linjiang felt a little powerless towards Ye Yunzhou again, stepped into the restaurant with a cold face, and asked for a private room.

He ordered two bowls of lily barley porridge under Ye Yunzhou's incomprehensible eyes. Ye Yunzhou regretted it a little after Xiao Er left, why did he impulsively say that he wanted to drink with him just now.

But maybe Mu Linjiang didn't remember at all.

Mu Linjiang⒘Kong rebelled against his wife and practiced the picture, reminding Ye Yunzhou: "You said, you can drink anything with me."

The corner of Ye Yunzhou's mouth froze, and he couldn't help but said, "I'll just say it casually, why do you remember so clearly?"

"Whether you say it seriously or not, I will keep it in my heart." Mu Linjiang said nonchalantly.

Ye Yunzhou's expression was also fixed on his face, and he frowned, feeling a bit indescribable, and then he saw Mu Linjiang laughing as if he had succeeded in a prank.

"Take off the hairband!" Ye Yunzhou rolled his eyes at him angrily, leaning on the table to grab Mu Linjiang's hairband covering his eyes, he couldn't see Mu Linjiang's eyes, he couldn't even tell the joke come out.

Mu Linjiang dodged back for a while, Ye Yunzhou was sure to win, so he simply grabbed Mu Linjiang's collar, got up, went around the table and pushed him on the back of the chair, Mu Linjiang pretended to be serious and warned him: "Young master Ye, don't let me go!" Use your hands and feet to commit crimes!"

"Have you read too many story books, do you think I will do it?" Ye Yunzhou stretched out his hand to untie the knot on the back of his head.

Mu Linjiang moved the corner of his mouth and reminded: "What I say is the subordinate's subordinate."

Ye Yunzhou: "..."

Mu Linjiang suspected that Ye Yunzhou was going to take the opportunity to bald him, so he had to pull the loose buckle and take off the hair tie, staring at Ye Yunzhou's slightly embarrassed wandering eyes with interest: "Mr. Ye, don't always molest your boss."

Ye Yunzhou: "..."

Ye Yunzhou took a deep breath through his teeth, Mu Linjiang closed his eyes and took off his hair tie, then slowly opened it again, a strand of hair on his temples was loose, and when he raised his head, his eyes were set against the bright light of the crystal lamp, which suddenly made him feel An illusion of falling into the sea of ​​stars.

"Just molesting, what can you do?" Ye Yunzhou reached out involuntarily, and pressed his fingertips on the little red mark left by the hair band under his right eye.

Xiaoer, who came to deliver porridge at the door, quietly closed the door behind him.

……

On the other side, a secret dark room.

A man in black and light armor was tied up in an iron chair connected to the ground, his eyes were covered with black cloth, his waist and legs were bound by special chains, and there was no room for him to move. On the armrest, the fingers were also clasped by the joints of the iron ring, the ring finger of the right hand was severed at the root, the acupuncture points were sealed, and the spiritual power was restrained.

He was not in a coma, but leaned his head back on the chair and tried to maintain his strength. At this time, the door of the dark room suddenly⒖, and someone's voice came first: "Wei Yi, the commander of Suxiaowei, has long admired his name."

"I'm just the leader of the guards, what's the name?" Wei Yi said, his voice was a little weak under the half metal mask.

The man entered the room, also wearing black clothes and covering his face, but judging from the fine lines around his eyes, he must be over forty. He walked in and pulled off the black cloth blindfolded. Wei Yi squinted his eyes and quickly looked around. The environment is cramped and cramped, with soundproof notes attached, like a torture chamber, with messy instruments of torture hanging on the wooden frames and walls, and the blood stains are frightening.

"Don't look at it, since it has fallen into my hands, you can't escape." The masked man looked down at Wei Yi with certainty, and took off his mask directly.

Wei Yi panted at the beginning: "Based on my experience, Your Excellency and I have not yet reached the compatibility period, so are you really so confident?"

"I said you can't escape, of course there is another meaning." The masked man chuckled twice, his voice was thick and old, "Because you left here, I must be willing to let you go, and you are willing to let me let you go." you go."

Wei Yi raised his eyebrows: "What's your opinion, I'm all ears."

"Do you know where your finger is now?" The masked man leaned over and pressed the severed finger of Wei Yi's right hand. Wei Yi frowned, with murderous intent in his eyes, and did not make a sound.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the masked man raised his hand to wipe off the blood on his clothes: "We left a note for the lord of the palace, asking him to exchange you with the twilight stone and the eternal day lamp."

Wei Yi sneered a few times when he heard this: "Joke, the only way in the world is to use the master to threaten the subordinates, how can the subordinates threaten the master? It's really hard to understand┡Appreciate the dead soldiers who attacked the palace master in the Lonely Night Palace. You trained them, you taught them What? Is it naive to believe that you can complete the task?"

The masked man was ridiculed by Wei Yi, but he just clenched his fingers one by one, and said meaningfully: "Your master is different from those ruthless and ruthless people. Do you know the battle of Qinglei Mountain? retreated, but forcibly gathered up the formation to save the useless waste that the auxiliary formation could not sustain, and almost died on the spot."

Wei Yi remained silent, and the masked man shook his head regretfully: "According to our information, he can survive for another three months, it's the heavens' pity, we really don't need to target a dying person."

The author has something to say: Wei Yi: The villains of your class, the infrastructure can’t keep up, is the village connected to the Internet?
