Pregnant with a cub of a ruthless Taoist apprentice

At that time, the Jinghong Sword Art had not yet been fully created, and it coincided with the sudden ghost cultivator's chaos in Liuxian City.

Liuxian City is located in the southwest of Daozong, and it belongs to the city of cultivating immortals under the jurisdiction of Daozong. When there is chaos in this city, Daozong will send his disciples to investigate.

The old master handed over the matter to his son and closed disciples. Nie Mingyuan and Qin Su received this task, immediately prepared supplies and set off for Liuxian City.

Along the way, the two checked the information reports from the deacon disciples sent by the sect stationed in Liuxian City, and roughly understood the current situation of Liuxian City.

Apart from the deacons sent by the Taoist sect, the biggest forces in that place are the two immortal cultivating families, the Shen family and the Fang family, each with a Nascent Soul True Monarch sitting in command.

Although there is not much difference in strength now, the Shen family is already on the decline, while the Fang family is in the limelight.Because the Zhenjun Yuanying of the Shen family is very old and has few lifespans, but the one of the Fang family is in his prime and has a bright future.

According to the investigation, the ghost cultivator who caused chaos was the first case committed three months ago, but what happened at that time was only a small village outside the city. The mortal village has not attracted enough attention.

The second case happened two months ago. It was a small town that was massacred, and it was also outside the city. Several qi cultivators who were sitting in the town were also killed.

The reason why it is determined that the two murders were committed by the same person is because the victims of the two murders died in almost the same way, as if they were killed in an instant, and they were both large-scale murders.

After the tragedy happened in the small town, the disciples of the Daoist deacon stationed in Liuxian City and the Shen and Fang families all realized the seriousness of the matter and sent their disciples out to investigate.

However, the result was still unsatisfactory. The only thing that can be determined is that the two murders should be committed by ghost monks, and the scene of the murders is also full of ghosts, which still linger.

On the other hand, after the murder in a small town, the murderer seemed to have tasted the sweetness and began to commit crimes frequently, and the location also shifted from outside the city to inside the city.

But perhaps because of the stricter guards in the city and the presence of Nascent Soul cultivators, the scope of the murders that occurred in the city was not as large as the previous two incidents, but spread from one house to several houses. Counting people's lives, but the murderer still has no clue.

Finally, five days ago, the murderer seemed to have figured out the situation of the guards in the city, and his repeated escapes also fattened his courage, and he actually wiped out a small cultivating family in the city overnight.

The Immortal Cultivator family was attached to the Shen family, and the one with the highest cultivation was in the late Foundation Establishment period. After this tragedy happened, the dozens of people who stayed at home that night all died suddenly, and the death conditions were exactly the same as in the previous case.

The ancestor of the Shen family was furious, thinking that the murderer was so unscrupulous, that he was provoking himself, who had little lifespan, by abandoning the Fang family and killing the Shen family, so he finally paid enough attention and sent the elites of the clan to go out to investigate, determined to find out The culprit is a shame.

At the same time, the disciples of Daozong's deacon finally sent a letter to the sect for help.

But when Nie Mingyuan and Qin Su rushed to Liuxian City, the incident not only did not stop, but continued to simmer.

Just four hours ago, Shen Lan, the youngest daughter of the Patriarch of the Shen family who was ordered to go out to investigate, unexpectedly disappeared. According to the disciples who were present at the time, she was taken away by a sudden black wind in full view.

Shen Lan is the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation of the Shen family, and he is now at the early stage of Golden Core cultivation.

This news was told by the two of the deacon disciples at the Daozong residence.After understanding the situation here, they went to Shen's house again.

Nie Mingyuan's position in the Taoist sect was already very important, and with the addition of Qin Su, the Patriarch of the Shen family was flattered and warmly entertained when he saw the two, but the worry on his brows remained undiminished.

This is also human nature, such a thing happened in Liuxian City, after so long of investigation, but there is no clue at all, and now even his best little daughter is missing, so why not make people feel worried.

Nie Mingyuan was a real person, and after learning about the situation, he couldn't sit still. He refused the Shen family's banquet, and immediately pulled Qin Su out.

The Patriarch of the Shen family was quite good at being a man, and said that he would send a disciple who had gone out to investigate before to lead them the way.

But seeing that the disciple only had the foundation cultivation, Nie Mingyuan refused immediately. The murderer couldn't even stand up to Shen Lan, who was in the early stage of Jindan. drag.

Furthermore, based on the tacit understanding between him and Qin Su, Yuanying is an invincible opponent. Even if he meets the ghost cultivator in the early stage of Yuanying, the two of them can fight together, and this murderer has never dared to commit a crime. The place where the head of the Shen family and the Fang family are located, the disciples who only dared to go out to investigate should be afraid of the two Yuanying ancestors.

Judging from this, the murderer's cultivation should not exceed the range that the two of them can handle.

As for the guide, there are still ghost aura left in several places where the crimes took place, and they can be easily found with a compass that detects the aura, without a guide at all.

After the two left Shen's house, they went to several places in the city to have a look. There was a ghostly atmosphere everywhere, even the first place, which looked much darker than other places. The murder just happened.

After leaving the city, he went to the small village and small town where the murder happened first. The situation at the scene was not much different from those in the city.

However, just before leaving the small village, Qin Su suddenly stopped in his tracks, raised his finger and pointed to the few pieces of gravel left beside the path at the entrance of the village, and said, "Wait a minute, senior brother, look, this village is full of dirt hills, even houses It is made of clay-fired bricks, and it is the exposed rocks in the mountains. I have seen them just now, and they are all light-colored, but these few broken stones are dark black, don’t you find it strange?”

Nie Mingyuan also became alert after hearing this, and picked up a piece of gravel for a closer look, except for the different color on the surface, but he could not see any flower heads, but when he crushed the gravel with his fingers, he saw A plume of black smoke suddenly appeared from the gravel, and quickly disappeared into nothingness.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. There was a breakthrough in this matter!

Then the two crushed two pieces of gravel each, and without exception, black smoke came out and dissipated.

Nie Mingyuan collected the remaining pieces of gravel, turned his head to look at the village still shrouded in black ghostly aura, and said, "Su, let's go and return to Liuxian City."

After finishing speaking, he patted Qin Su's shoulder very appreciatively, and said with emotion: "It's really thanks to you this time that we were able to find the clue so quickly. You are much more careful than me."

In fact, these crushed stones are mixed among ordinary crushed stones, and are half embedded in the soil. If you don't look carefully, you can't find them at all. What Nie Mingyuan said is absolutely correct.

Qin Su was not polite even after being praised, and punched Nie Mingyuan's chest lightly, and said with a smile: "You are still using it as an afterthought? Even the master said that our personalities complement each other the most."

Nie Mingyuan smiled heartily, stretched out his long arms and hugged Qin Su's shoulders, and said affectionately: "It's true, so, you and I are destined to become best friends."

Qin Su didn't resist, and after listening to Nie Mingyuan's words, he even smiled and rolled his eyes. His appearance was originally handsome and elegant, and this smile from the heart made people feel closer.

The two were so close that Nie Mingyuan could see each other's eyelashes clearly, but now he was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Su, you really have a good appearance, no wonder the girl always complains, There are always female cultivators from the five major sects going to her to inquire about you intentionally or unintentionally."

Qin Su retorted: "Brother, are you right to say that? There are far fewer people who inquire about you than about me!"

Nie Mingyuan laughed, let go of Qin Su's shoulder and said, "Okay, let's stop flattering each other here and go back to Liuxian City."

"it is good."

Back in Liuxian City, the two of them walked around the places where the crimes took place. Although there were not such gravels left in every place, they found gravels in two of them.

This must not be a coincidence!

The landforms near Liuxian City were not familiar to the two of them, but the disciples of the Taoist deacon who had been stationed all year round must be familiar with them.

Although black gravel is not uncommon, there is only one place near Liuxian City with a large area of ​​black stone, and that is the Black Stone Forest in the west.

But that place has always been barren, and the aura is thin, not to mention the treasures of heaven and earth, even the lowest-level spiritual plants can't grow, and even low-level monks are unwilling to stay there, let alone the demand for aura during cultivation. A bigger senior monk.

For Nie Mingyuan and Qin Su, the clues they finally found point to where, so they naturally have to go there.

After the two left Liuxian City, they rushed to the Black Stone Forest without stopping, and stopped at the entrance of the Black Stone Forest. The imperial sword was suspended in the air, overlooking the entire stone forest.

Speaking of which, the name of this place is Black Stone Forest, which is really appropriate. Looking around the entire stone forest, there are many strange stones, except for all kinds of black stones, there is nothing else.

The two got down from the flying sword and poked the black rock under their feet with the tip of the sword, only to find that the black rock was very deep. The strange reason is that the land is barren and no spiritual plants grow. May I ask what kind of spiritual plants can grow in the stone?

The two looked at each other, unanimously circulated their spiritual power to get ready, and walked in slowly with their swords in hand.

It was already evening when we came here, and it didn’t take long before the sky turned completely dark. The weather was good this day, but for some reason, walking in the Black Stone Forest, I couldn’t even see the moon and stars in the sky when I looked up, and the surrounding black stones , The whole body of the two of them was so dark that there was no light at all.

Fortunately, all practitioners have night vision ability, so their actions will not be hindered.

How strange it looks here, the two did not separate to search for clues, and have been walking side by side in order to support each other at any time.

Passing a black rock mountain, a streak of blood suddenly flashed in the sky, and when the blood disappeared, both of them sank at the same time.

The spiritual power on my body has disappeared!
