Big brother, he is frail

The development of the matter was farther and farther away from Lu Xinglan's expectation.After some inexplicable conversations, Lu Xinglan was placed on a comfortable armchair, and Qin Tian, ​​the boss of Suixinzhai, even sent his younger brother to bring Lu Xinglan a cup of condensed tea, which was still floating on the clear tea. A few petals puffed on Lu Xinglan's face with a scent of hot air, which made him feel a little real.

Quietly glanced at the bandits in the Xinxin village around him, all of them looked at him, although they didn't seem to be malicious, but Lu Xinglan still took a sip of tea to suppress the trembling in his heart.

What's the matter!If he hadn't been imprisoned for several days before, Lu Xinglan would have thought that he was not a captive kidnapped by Suixin Village, but an invited guest!

Qin Tian sat on the innermost chair in the hall. The seat and the back of the chair were covered with a layer of felt. It looked expensive and looked like a king of the mountain.It's just that Qin Tian, ​​the boss who is sitting on the chair, is wearing a splendid woven suit, with his hair coiled high behind his head and fixed with a light-colored crown. The son of a rich family.Qin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, looking like he wanted to chat and laugh with Lu Xinglan.It's just that the other party was talking, and Lu Xinglan remained silent, occasionally answering a few words vaguely.

Lu Xinglan didn't forget that he was going deep into the tiger's den now, not to mention that this cottage was full of weirdness and disharmony.

The weirder the situation, the more he couldn't take it lightly.

Speaking of the boss of the Xinxin Village, he revealed that his name is Qin Tian, ​​but he looks like he is in his 20s, with a handsome face, ignoring his restrained aura, he looks very harmless on the outside, forming a strong contrast with other people in the Xinxin Village .And although Lu Xinglan was indeed confused by his inconspicuous words when they first met, but after several conversations, Lu Xinglan found that Qin Tian's conversation was quite gracious, and his temperament was not like an ordinary person.There was no trace of the evil that was rumored outside him at all.

If he is just an ordinary gangster who prefers luxurious clothes, no matter how he looks, he can't hide his original vulgarity.However, Qin Tian's performance was truly nurtured and cultivated with an elegant demeanor, which Lu Xinglan could see, and he was very sure of it.

"...Why did you arrest me?" Seeing that silence was not an option, Lu Xinglan asked straight to the point, "Can't you let me go back? Grandma will be very anxious when she finds out that I'm missing."

"Don't worry Miss Lu, please stay here as a 'guest' for a few more days, let me do my best as a landlord, and I will let my second son take you down the mountain after a while." Qin Tian smiled and said with a smile on his face. He looked reasonable, but the meaning behind the words still didn't let Lu Xinglan leave.

Lu Xinglan thought to himself, can he really be sent back?I don't see you sending those girls back.

"Then, what about the other 'guests'," Lu Xinglan said, "I heard that there are other girls from Qingcheng who were brought here by you."

Qin Tian smiled, his voice was too soft to be heard, "They are doing well here, you don't have to worry."

Qin Tian said leisurely, and at the same time he changed his posture, tilting his head and resting his head on his hands, he looked a bit like a king of the mountain.

Although he didn't know the situation of those women, Qin Tian's words also gave Lu Xinglan a message that those women were indeed here.

"Do you want to have dinner together?" Qin Tian asked suddenly as the topic changed too quickly.

"..." Lu Xinglan originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought that if he had dinner with Qin Tian, ​​he might be able to get some information without anyone noticing, so he reluctantly agreed on the surface.

Qin Tian seemed very satisfied, and turned to Jin Yuanbao and said, "Third son, ask the cook to prepare more dishes. Miss Lu must have worked very hard at ordinary times, she looks really weak."

Um?Does he really look that weak? It should be the effect of the disguise technique.

Not long after, Qin Tian brought Lu Xinglan to another room, and the table was filled with sumptuous dishes.The others all disbanded after Qin Tian left.

Sitting face to face with the enemy, no matter how good Lu Xinglan's mentality is, it is inevitable that he will be nervous.

He secretly sighed, thinking that he would not have come if he knew earlier.It's not that he's afraid of being nervous and exposed, the main reason is that Qin Tian talks too much and he can't handle it.

"How old is Miss Lu this year? She's been out for a few years, and what do she usually like to do..." It was Lu Xinglan who wanted to inquire about the other party's information, but Qin Tian even asked a series of questions. They were all small questions, and it was not difficult to answer them, anyway. The identities are all fake.

The food was pretty good, much better than the food that Jin Yuanbao had brought these days.

"Well, it seems that Qin is half a year older than Miss Lu." Qin Tian said happily.

Lu Xinglan nodded following the other party's words, but the age just now was just casually mentioned by Lu Xinglan. In other words, Qin Tian is actually not as old as Lu Xinglan. In the eyes of the latter, Qin Tian is just amazing Just a little brat.

If it wasn't for that pestering magic weapon, Lu Xinglan would be able to deal with him on the spot.

Speaking of the magic weapon, Lu Xinglan thought for a while, and felt that now is a good opportunity to make a cliché.With a thought in his mind, Lu Xinglan's eyes changed, suddenly there were four points of doubt, four points of panic, and three points of nervousness in his eyes: "Brother Qin, I went out of the room just now, but I went back to the same place , What’s going on here, is it haunted here? A ghost hit the wall!?”

"Miss Lu, don't panic, this is not some kind of ghost hitting the wall, it's just the effect of a magic weapon."

"A magic weapon?" Lu Xinglan asked suspiciously, "What is that?"

Qin Tian looked at Lu Xinglan, without letting go of the corner of his mouth, and said, "It's just a magical item that ordinary people can't touch." Qin Tian shook his head, as if he didn't want to say anything more about the magic weapon.

Tsk, it seems that Qin Tian is very vigilant.

Lu Xinglan didn't ask any further questions, it's good to inquire about these things slowly, and don't act too hastily, lest the other party get suspicious.

……

After eating, Jin Yuanbao sent Lu Xinglan back to his room, still wearing black blindfolds on the way.This time Lu Xinglan was prepared, and at the moment the scene changed, he caught a trace of imperceptible fluctuations in spiritual power, which were produced by the magic weapon.

"It seems that when Jin Yuanbao crossed the barrier, a fluctuation similar to that of the spiritual power also occurred on Jin Yuanbao." Lu Xinglan remembered that he seemed to have read similar knowledge that the same fluctuation of spiritual power can produce the effect of "unlocking" , as if only the key has the same shape as the lock to open it. "In this case, as long as I find out the fluctuation of the spiritual power, I have a chance to break the inner barrier, and I can go to other places to check." Lu Xinglan thought to himself.

It's just that this is not a simple matter, Lu Xinglan needs to observe and ponder several times before he is confident.

He has also stayed in Suixin Village for several days, presumably Shen Xizhou and the others have already started to act, right?It is estimated that they are already near the Xinxin Village.

"Chirp~"

Just as Lu Xinglan was thinking about Shen Xizhou and the others, a red salamander with the length of an index finger suddenly emerged from the ground, and Lu Xinglan's expression brightened.This salamander is the embodiment of Mo Yu'er's spiritual power, which was mentioned in the original book!

However, Lu Xinglan was still a little worried about being discovered, so he released some spiritual power to interfere with the space covered by the magic weapon around him. If the people in Xinxinzhai were watching him, then all they saw was Lu Xinglan lying on the bed Just a picture of sleeping.

It's just a small trick and it's hard to detect.The power of the magic weapon is indeed strong, Lu Xinglan can only do this.

Crouching down and stretching out his fingers, the salamander nimbly jumped onto Lu Xinglan's index finger. The fiery red tail curled up, and the tip of the tail was still burning with a fiery red flame.

"Mo Yu'er, you were not taken to Suixin Village?" Lu Xinglan asked.

"Hmph, are you asking knowingly!" Mo Yu'er said angrily.

Lu Xinglan laughed: "Didn't you say that if you don't arrest us, I must be too ugly? Then why didn't they arrest you, but only arrested me?" In this emergency situation, Lu Xinglan still did not forget to tease For a moment, it can be regarded as enlivening the atmosphere.

But it's a bit naive to think about being so angry with Mo Yu'er. Before Mo Yu'er got angry, Lu Xinglan quickly changed the subject: "What's the situation outside now?"

"We are looking for a breakthrough from the outside, and there is no progress yet. This magic weapon must be a mysterious or even earth-level magic weapon, and it is not so easy to break through."

"Don't be in a hurry to come in, you won't be able to get out once you get in. Let's see if I can destroy the barrier after I find the magic weapon."

Mo Yu'er heard the mystery in Lu Xinglan's words, and realized that this magic weapon has other effects.

"Yes, the space inside this enchantment is unpredictable. There is no specific way to get out at all. I can only go around in circles. Now I have only been to the base camp of Xinxinzhai and met the boss here."

"...Sister Wan'er asked the boss what kind of person he is and what his strength is."

"The boss is called Qin Tian, ​​he is a master in the mid-Golden Core stage, but his aura is stronger than other immortal cultivators in the mid-Golden Core stage, and his aura is very similar to the magic weapon. It seems that he has mastered the magic weapon. It has reached the point where the two become one, which should not be underestimated. However, the whole Xinxin Village gives me a strange feeling..."

"What strange place?"

Lu Xinglan shook his head, he couldn't say, and it might just be his illusion.

"Oh, by the way, your junior brother asked me to convey, be careful in everything."

After many days, with no contact with the outside world, Lu Xinglan was a little moved when he heard the reminder and greeting from his junior brother. He replied: "I see, you tell Xizhou to act cautiously."

After a brief exchange of words with the opposite party, there was a sudden movement outside, it seemed that someone had discovered the clues in the room.The salamander quickly dived into the ground and disappeared in an instant.Lu Xinglan jumped onto the bed and was just lying down when there was a knock on the door the next second.

"What's the matter?" Lu Xinglan asked.

This time it wasn't Jin Yuanbao who came in, but Chai Hui, who was tall and thin.This was Lu Xinglan's first time dealing with Chaihui.

Chai Hui and Jin Yuanbao, one skinny and the other fat, seem to be right-handed images that often appear in novels.Generally, the thin person is more shrewd, and the sharp eyes of Kanchaihui reveal a sharp light, which seems to be the case.

Chai Hui walked into the room, frowning, observing carefully.Lu Xinglan looked at him calmly, showing no flaws.

After a long time, Chai Hui said, "It's all right." Then he went out and closed the door again.

Lu Xinglan let out a long breath.

Fortunately, he had created some blindfolds with spiritual energy in advance. With Chai Hui's strength alone, he might be able to detect something strange, but he couldn't see anything wrong at all.

But this also shows that the less communication they have, the better. Maybe one day they will accidentally be bumped into and reveal their identities.

In short, the main task now is to find out where those women are hidden.It's a daunting task, and it's not easy to find them amidst all the obstacles.But this is also a crucial step, and there must be no mistakes.After finding them, it is to find the magic weapon, which is also the top priority.

"Alas..." Thinking of such a difficult task, Lu Xinglan felt a headache, sighed, and fell heavily on the bed.

30 points, 30 points... Lu Xinglan said silently in his heart, feeling much better.Of course, he, Lu Xinglan, is not a superficial person who accepts missions just to earn points!It is of course a good thing to help the people of Qingcheng get rid of the bandits who harmed one side. In this way, Lingyunzong's record book can also add a fortune to him, which will only benefit and not harm in the future.

……

In this way, a few more days passed without incident. It seemed that Qin Tian was looking for him on a whim that day, and Lu Xinglan never saw him again after that.Even Jin Yuanbao and Chai Hui were rarely seen, and the person who delivered meals to Lu Xinglan became a gray-haired old man in his 60s, a cook with little spiritual power.Sometimes Lu Xinglan would chat with him a few words, knowing that this old cook was in charge of the entire Xingxin village's food.

Not as cautious and vigilant as the others in Suixin Village, this old cook is just an ordinary person who doesn't understand and doesn't want to get involved in all kinds of disputes in the world of cultivating immortals. He has an amiable personality. After Lu Xinglan greeted him kindly a few times, Successfully increased the other party's favorability.

Lu Xinglan finally got some useful information through the old cook.

The old cook used to be an ordinary cook in an inn in a town near Qingcheng, but later he came to Suixin village for some unknown reason.He has stayed in the Xinxin Village for too long, and he doesn't even know about the crusade against the bandits in the Xinxin Village.

When talking about Qin Tian, ​​the old cook actually showed a trace of respect.

This surprised Lu Xinglan. You know, it is not easy to get someone's sincere respect. As the boss of a cottage, what can Qin Tian do to make the old cook respect him so much instead of being afraid What about him?Kidnapping the daughters of so many families, is this something worthy of respect?

Lu Xinglan rubbed his chin, feeling that this matter needs to be explored.

He originally wanted to ask the old cook for the specific reason, but the old cook kept silent. He probably just remembered that some things should not be said casually.

"You are over 60 years old, do you have children or grandchildren under your knees?"

Lu Xinglan started talking about other topics.

"There is also a daughter." The old cook was very happy when his daughter was mentioned.It seems that he has a good relationship with his daughter, "She is a few years older than you, if you see her, you will be able to get along very well."

Lu Xinglan murmured: "Daughter..."

"What's wrong?" Seeing Lu Xinglan pondering, the old cook was afraid that he might have said something wrong.

Lu Xinglan shook his head: "It's nothing. By the way, old man, why hasn't Big Brother Jin come here recently?"

"I don't know about it. It's just that the people in the village seem to be a bit busy recently. They always go out, and sometimes they don't even eat. Hey, even if they are strong and have some supernatural powers, they still have to eat. Ah..." the old cook babbled, showing concern naturally.

"Then they might have eaten outside." Lu Xinglan comforted.

If Lu Xinglan guessed correctly, the reason they went out was that they noticed that someone was spying on the Xinxin village recently, so they stepped up the external patrol inspection.

In any case, Lu Xinglan had to act quickly.

With an idea, Lu Xinglan asked: "Old man, are you too tired to cook? I heard that Boss Qin has dozens of people under his command? How about I cook for you?"

Of course Lu Xinglan doesn't know how to cook, he just wanted to talk.

The old cook was very honest, he didn't hear that Lu Xinglan was testing him, and said: "No problem, there are many people who helped me. They cook delicious food. In fact, most of the food you eat is cooked by them. .”

Lu Xinglan smiled: "Yes, it's really delicious."

"Right?"

Lu Xinglan doesn't think that the "they" that the old cook refers to are those rough guys.In any case, he is still a cultivator, and he has already left the category of five grains, so he doesn't need to eat.As for those who need to eat, the only ordinary people left in the huge cottage are...

Suddenly, Lu Xinglan had a plan in mind.

First, verify whether his idea is correct.As long as he goes to the kitchen before mealtime, it's fine.

After talking to Lu Xinglan a few more words, the old cook left.

While eating, Lu Xinglan was thinking, the old cook is just an ordinary person, he doesn't know how to use the spiritual power in his body, so how did he get in sync with the magic weapon's spiritual power to come here?If it was Qin Tian who set up the order to pass freely, so the old cook could walk through the kitchen at will, then why did Fatty Jin use his spiritual power?So this idea should be wrong.

From another point of view, the old cook may have been introduced with a bit of spiritual power, so that when he crossed the barrier, the spiritual power in his body would automatically operate without the old cook's knowledge, so the old cook could enter and exit at will.This is a good opportunity to observe how the spiritual power works...
