Please give me a chance to be a straight man

Chu Lan thought for a while after hearing the words, and then replied, "Mr. Wen hasn't come for a while, and the last time he came was almost a month ago. Why, what happened to Mr. Wen?"

Shen Xu shook his head, "Nothing happened to Wen Ran, it's just that we wanted to discuss something with him, but when we arrived at the Luoxing Pavilion, we found that he wasn't there, and we heard from Luoxing Pavilion disciples that Wen Ran often came to you, so we came to ask him. "

"So that's the case, but it's a waste of time for the two of you."

Shen Xu raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "With such fine wine, and with a beauty like Boss Chu by your side, how could it be considered a waste of time? It should be said that the trip was worthwhile."

Hearing this, Jiang Xun glanced at Shen Xu, then lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

Chu Lan showed a smile, "I didn't expect Tianxuanzong to have such a good-spoken disciple as Young Master Ling."

Shen Xu chuckled, but didn't answer.

It was half an hour after Shen Xu and Jiang Xun left Liuxiang Pavilion.Shen Xu originally thought that he could get some information about the magic cultivator from Chu Lan, but who knew that he found nothing.

Shen Xu was a little unwilling.But after thinking about it, if Chu Lan is really the eyeliner sent by Moxiu to monitor Luoxing Pavilion, it would be really strange that someone would notice the clues so easily.Moreover, the appearance of himself and Jiang Xun has already alarmed the snake. It should be impossible to find information about Moxiu or Wen Ran from Chu Lan, so he can only find other clues now.

Shen Xu thought for a while, and the only entry point he could think of at the moment was Wen Xinghe and the Compass of Life and Death.

But Wen Xinghe's whereabouts are unknown now, and it's not easy to find him, let alone learn about Moxiu and Wen Ran from him.As for the compass of life and death, Shen Xu is just a famous maker, and he has no memory of its structure, specific usage and what went wrong!

Shen Xu patted himself on the head angrily, what's the use of you!

Seeing this, Jiang Xun quickly grabbed Shen Xu's wrist, and frowned slightly, "What are you doing?"

"Punishment for useless heads."

Hearing the words, Jiang Xun sighed helplessly, then raised his hand and rubbed the place where Shen Xu had hit just now, and then said after a while, "The magic cultivator is in the dark, we are in the light, it is really not easy to investigate, you don't have to force yourself."

"Didn't I want to find out the truth and prove my innocence? You Zhengdao always kept talking about how I caused you to suffer heavy casualties, but I don't remember those things at all. And Su Jin's letter also mentioned I wasn't there at all during the battle between righteousness and evil, so someone deliberately framed me. As for why that person did this, I must investigate clearly, so as not to endanger the people around me in the future."

When Jiang Xun heard the last sentence, his heart suddenly beat violently.

Shen Xu and the others stayed in Cangya Mountain for a few more days, and when they saw that there were no changes here, they prepared to leave.

On the day they were about to leave, Luoxing Pavilion disciples suddenly found the inn where they were staying and said that there was Wen Ran's whereabouts.

Shen Xu glanced at the messenger talisman handed over by the disciple of Luoxing Pavilion. Except for some bloodstains, there were only a few words written on it, Fengcheng is in trouble, reinforcements are urgently needed, Wen Ran.

The spiritual power injected into these words has faded to almost nothing, it can be seen that the person who wrote this letter was already in a state of nearly exhausted spiritual power at that time.As for whether this person is Wen Ran, whether he is dead or alive, it is still unclear.

Shen Xu then glanced at Jiang Xun, seeing him looking straight at the blood on the messenger talisman, Shen Xu returned the messenger talisman to the Luoxing Pavilion disciple.

"You guys are going to Fengcheng to save people?"

"Exactly. Do fellow Daoist Jiang and fellow Daoist Ling want to go together?"

"Of course I'm going. After all, there are some things I still want to ask Senior Brother Wen to clarify."

It was already three days later when Shen Xu, Jiang Xun and a group of Luoxing Pavilion disciples arrived at Fengcheng.

At this time, the midair of Fengcheng was completely enveloped by a mass of thick black demonic energy. Except for the occasional roar of monsters coming from it, it was impossible to detect the specific situation in the city from the outside.

Some Luoxing Pavilion disciples tried to break through the barrier formed by the devilish energy from the outside, but each time they could barely break through a hole less than a person's size above the devilish energy, and they reunited in an instant, without giving any damage at all. The time when people enter the city.

Seeing this, the disciples of Luoxing Pavilion had no choice but to come over and ask Shen Xu and Jiang Xun for help.

Jiang Xun walked to a place where the distribution of devil energy was relatively weak. He waved his hand with a sword, and then a crack several people wide broke through the barrier. Everyone was surprised at Jiang Xun's cultivation level.

But now is not the time to admire Jiang Xun's cultivation. Seeing that the crack showed no signs of closing, everyone hurried into it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped into the city, several monsters pounced on them.Everyone quickly resisted, and it took a while to get rid of the monster.

Then the scene in the city entered the eyes of everyone.Everyone was shocked by the dead bodies everywhere and the tragic degree of destruction of the surrounding buildings.Fortunately, the disciples who came to Luoxing Pavilion this time had some experience, so no one made a fuss.

As Shen Xu walked towards the city, he observed the surroundings carefully, and found that there were relatively few traces of man-made destruction, and most of them were the footprints of monsters.

When Shen Xu was still at Xiaoyaomen, he would read some sect histories, which would record some experiences of his predecessors.He happened to read some records about the beast tide.The occurrence of the beast tide is generally because the spiritual power left behind by the great power to open up the secret realm has disappeared, so some high-level monsters will break through the shackles of space and travel to the mortal world to cause chaos.

This situation would happen every few decades before the current four major sects were established.But later, because the four major sects often repaired the loopholes in the secret realm, the beast tide had not erupted for a long time.Some young disciples probably don't even know that there is a potential crisis like the beast horde.

It's fine if the beast tide doesn't break out. Once it happens, if there are no accidents in the towns that have been invaded by the beast tide, basically very few people will survive.Even if it is a monk with a high level of cultivation.

After several Luoxing Pavilion disciples confirmed that the situation in Fengcheng was caused by the beast tide, they were not as firm as they were before Wen Ran was still alive.

Shen Xu didn't believe that Wen Ran would die so easily, but the possibility of him being seriously injured should not be small.So he asked the Luoxing Pavilion disciples if Wen Ran had mentioned coming to Fengcheng before.

All the disciples shook their heads.

Now Shen Xu was sure that Wen Ran's coming to Fengcheng should have been ordered by Moxiu.Otherwise, when he rescued Su Qingyang before, he should not have appeared.So what was he coming here for?And the outbreak of the beast tide, is it really an accident?Shen Xu always felt that all this was inseparable from the "Young Master" that Guixiu called.

One question after another shrouded Shen Xu's mind, which made him frown.

The Luoxing Pavilion disciples searched all the streets in the city, big and small. Except for the corpses of ordinary people everywhere, they did not find any other dead or injured monks or monsters.

Did Wen Ran and the others disappear out of thin air?

Among the Luoxing Pavilion disciples, there were those who reacted quickly, and immediately thought of a possibility.

The disciple glanced at the fellow seniors, and then said to Shen Xu and Jiang Xun, "A few days ago, senior brother made a breakthrough, and it happened to coincide with Wuwang Chuanchuan's birthday. Senior brother wanted to go to the secret realm of our Luoxing Pavilion After some internal experience, I collected some rare spiritual plants and refined them into elixirs for Master Jiangchuan."

Shen Xu looked at the disciple who spoke, "What do you mean?"

"Senior brother Wen has the key to the secret realm in his hand now. I wonder if he used some method to pull the surviving monks and all the monsters into the secret realm. The secret realms of our four major sects have all kinds of high-level monsters. Strict restrictions, their abilities will be greatly restricted in the secret realm. Brother Wen may want to solve them in the secret realm."

Hearing this, Shen Xu felt that this possibility was very high, and then asked, "Then do you know which secret realm Wen Ran went to?"

The disciple shook his head, "But I think Master should know."

Afterwards, the disciples of Luoxing Pavilion passed the news to Su Fang.Su Fang was in seclusion at this time, and it was an elder in charge of Luoxing Pavilion who received the news.

The elder usually likes Wen Ran very much, and when he heard that he might be in danger, he would come to Fengcheng without saying a word.All the disciples said that Jiang Xun and another Tianxuanzong disciple were there to help, so the elder was relieved.Then the spare key of the secret realm was sent over through the array.And told everyone to be more careful, and contact the sect in time if there is a situation.

After the disciples of Luoxing Pavilion received the key to the secret realm, they used the secret method of Luoxing Pavilion to open the secret realm.

Shen Xu followed Jiang Xun into the portal. He didn't expect that the magic energy circulating in his body would be suppressed by almost [-]% before he stepped into the secret realm.It seems that what the previous disciple said is true, this secret realm does have a considerable suppression effect on the cultivation of monsters.

Entering the secret realm, you will be greeted by an endless desert.The strong wind swept the sand and created sandstorms one after another, and Shen Xu felt that a big mouthful of sand was poured into his throat when he breathed.So he couldn't help coughing a few times.

Seeing this, Jiang Xun gave him a concerned look, and Shen Xu waved to him to show that he was fine.

Then Shen Xu asked the Luoxing Pavilion disciples about their next route.These disciples glanced at each other, and then embarrassedly explained to Shen Xu.Although some of them have been to this secret realm, they entered from another entrance, where the beautiful scenery is completely different from here, so they don't know the route on the desert side.

In desperation, they had to split into two ways to find a way out.

Among the group, only Shen Xu and Jiang Xun had the highest cultivation levels, so they each led a few Luoxing Pavilion disciples to act.After the personnel were allocated, the two teams were ready to set off.Before leaving, Jiang Xun pulled Shen Xu aside and asked for a while, and Shen Xu agreed one by one.Jiang Xun was still not at ease, and stuffed Shen Xu with a lot of magic weapons he had refined.

Shen Xu frowned and pushed back, "We haven't been to this secret place before. The degree of danger is unknown. You should keep a few magical artifacts to save your life. Don't patronize me."

Jiang Xun insisted that he didn't want to take it back.Shen Xu sighed, Jiang Xun was really helpless when he was stubborn.So I had to pick out two instruments and put them in the storage bag. "You should rest assured now."

Jiang Xun didn't speak, and then glanced at a few Luoxing Pavilion disciples, seeing that they didn't pay attention to this side, so he reached out and grabbed Shen Xu's hand, squeezed it lightly, and said in a warm voice, "Be careful. "

Shen Xu's ears were warmed by him, but he didn't shake Jiang Xun's hand away, but just gave him a look of feigned anger, and then said, "Got it! Housekeeper!"

So Shen Xu and Jiang Xun set off in two directions, east and west.
