Please give me a chance to be a straight man

Chen Yang approached Bai Xiao with the messenger talisman, "Junior Brother Bai, let me ask you, do you know the whereabouts of the key to the compass of life and death mentioned in the messenger talisman?"

"I do know, but I'm not going to exchange it for Wen Ran's life."

"why?"

"Because it's not worth it."

One of the Luoxing Pavilion disciples who had a good relationship with Wen Ran almost rushed up to beat Bai Xiao up, but was stopped by Chen Yang.

So the disciple had no choice but to suppress his anger, pointed at Bai Xiao and said, "Bai Xiao, what do you mean?! Could it be that you forgot how Senior Brother Wen treats you?!"

Bai Xiao sneered, "He treats me very well, but this so-called kindness is nothing more than atonement for his father who colluded with Moxiu and killed my master! You fools think he really cares about me."

Hearing what he said, the disciple's original anger subsided a little, "Elder Sun's death was caused by the demon cultivator, so what's the matter with Senior Brother Wen? Don't impose your personal grievances on innocent people."

Bai Xiao snorted coldly, "The mouth is on your body, so naturally you can say whatever you want."

Seeing that Bai Xiao insisted on refusing to reveal the whereabouts of the key, Chen Yang couldn't help being in trouble.

Seeing this, the disciple who was arguing with Bai Xiao just now proposed, "Senior brother Chen, why don't we search Bai Xiao's soul, anyway, it seems that he himself will not take the initiative to say it."

Several Luoxing Pavilion disciples looked at the speaking disciple in shock, "Li Yi, aren't you joking? Don't you know what kind of damage soul searching will cause to spiritual intelligence? Even if it's right Demon cultivators who do all kinds of evil are not like us, yet you actually want to search the soul of your junior brother? Are you crazy!"

Facing the reprimand from his senior fellow apprentices, Li Yi also knew that his words were a little too much, so he didn't speak.

Chen Yang saw that his two juniors were not so worrying compared to each other, and his head started to hurt.At the same time, the desire to save Wen Ran became stronger.

Therefore, in order to let Bai Xiao explain the whereabouts of the key to the compass of life and death, Chen Yang had to use his trump card - to move Su Fang, the owner of Luoxing Pavilion, and the deceased Elder Sun out.

Bai Xiao has always listened to these two elders the most, and when Chen Yang said that his behavior of refusing to save his fellow seniors might make the two elders sad, he began to hesitate.

Seeing this, Shen Xu decided to help Chen Yang, so he said, "Junior Brother Bai, I know you don't want to hand over the key because you are afraid that Moxiu will repair the compass of life and death and cause irreparable casualties. I have an idea about this. "

Bai Xiao and the others all looked at Shen Xu after hearing the words, "Junior Brother Ling, if you have any thoughts, please tell me."

Shen Xu looked at the crowd, and replied, "My idea is that we can first make a fake key for Moxiu to return to Wen Ran, and when they react, we probably have almost returned to Luoxing Pavilion."

"It's not easy to copy a magic weapon, let alone a part that is almost a fairy weapon like the compass of life and death."

Seeing everyone shaking their heads one after another, Shen Xu smiled slightly, "I have done some research on making magic tools. Although there is no guarantee that an identical key can be copied within three days, I have some confidence in getting away with it. I just don't know if Junior Brother Bai can believe it." I."

Bai Xiao looked at Shen Xu for a while, then at Jiang Xun, and then tapped between his brows, a key-shaped jade pendant gradually emerged from between his brows.He handed the jade pendant to Shen Xu, "Senior brother Chong Jiang saved me once, and I will trust you once. If you lose the key, I will not forgive you."

Shen Xu was slightly startled when he took the jade pendant, then he clenched his palm tightly and said to Bai Xiao, "Don't worry."

Then Bai Xiao explained to everyone the number of demon cultivators and their approximate cultivation levels.Hearing several familiar names from Bai Xiao, Chen Yang couldn't help frowning, "Chen Chuan, Liu Cheng, and Zhang Xu were wanted by various sects for mutilating their comrades. Hurt them. Now that Wen Ran is in their hands, I don't know if he will be severely tortured because of his personal enmity. "

"So I said don't take risks, and you still haven't listened."

Li Yi's eyes widened, "Bai Xiao, you can't say something nice!"

Bai Xiao stretched her neck and was about to argue, but was stopped by Chen Yang, "Okay, okay, can you all stop talking a few words, saving people is the most important thing!"

Li Yi and Bai Xiao snorted coldly when they heard the words, and turned to look in other directions.

Seeing that the two ancestors had finally calmed down, Chen Yang began to discuss with Shen Xu, Jiang Xun and the others how to save Wen Ran.

After the discussion, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Seeing that no one was around, Shen Xu quickly pulled Jiang Xun into his room.

Jiang Xun saw that Shen Xu was acting mysteriously, and thought he had discovered something, so he saw Shen Xu take out the key to the compass of life and death that Bai Xiao gave him just now, "Look at this."

Jiang Xun thought that Shen Xu took out the key because of some strange mechanism, but after looking carefully, he didn't find it, and then he looked at Shen Xu suspiciously.

Shen Xu then took out the key-shaped jade pendant around his neck, and Jiang Xun realized that the two jade pendants were exactly the same and could overlap.And the pattern formed by the overlapping of the two jade pendants happened to be the same as the pattern of the key on the sketch of the compass of life and death they saw in Wanjian Mountain.

If nothing else happened, these two jade pendants should be the keys to the compass of life and death.

Right now, the demon cultivators are anxious to restore the life-death compass, and this key is the key to unlock the life-death compass formation. If the demon cultivators find out that the other key is in Shen Xu's hands, Shen Xu's life may be in danger.

A trace of worry could not help appearing on Jiang Xun's face, Shen Xu naturally saw it.

He took Jiang Xun's hand and said softly, "At present, only you and I, my master and senior sister know that I have this jade pendant. But the master and senior sister don't know where the key came from. So I temporarily It's pretty safe, so you don't have to worry."

After Shen Xu coaxed Jiang Xun back with good words, he closed the door and started to copy the magic weapon.

In the blink of an eye, it was three days.

Seeing that the time agreed with Moxiu was approaching, Shen Xu still didn't come out of his room.Just when several Luoxing Pavilion disciples thought that Shen Xu had escaped with the key, there was a loud noise in Shen Xu's room.

Immediately afterwards, a dark figure staggered out of the black smoke, "Ahem!"

Seeing this, everyone hurried forward, "Junior Brother Ling, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Shen Xu then handed two jade pendants that looked very similar to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang took the jade pendant over, looked it over carefully, and found that there was no difference between the two except for the fluctuation of spiritual power!

Chen Yang looked at Shen Xu in surprise, "Junior Brother Ling is really a genius!"

Hearing the words, the other disciples also leaned over to look at the two jade pendants, but they were all shocked by Shen Xu's skill.

Some disciples said, "Brother Ling's skills are so high, I am afraid that even the ghost-faced venerable is not far behind. Why have I never heard of it before?"

Shen Xu was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "My master's thinking is relatively traditional, and he always thinks that my skill is heresy, so he won't let me use it."

That disciple also knew that Tianxuanzong was quite old-fashioned, so he didn't say anything more.

Everyone arrived at a cliff written on the messenger talisman according to the agreed time. As soon as Shen Xu arrived here, he felt that the distribution of spiritual power here was a bit strange.But before he had time to think about it, he saw Wen Ran tied to a wooden stake from a distance, his body was covered in blood, and he seemed to have passed out.

When Li Yi saw this, he was about to fly over, but was held back by Chen Yang.Li Yi looked at Chen Yang, and Chen Yang shook his head at him.

Then he shouted to the few monks surrounding Wen Ran, "We have come as promised with the key, shouldn't you all show some sincerity and untie my brother first?"

The head of the monks on the opposite side is Liu Cheng, who looks kind and ruthless.After hearing what Chen Yang said, he first smiled slightly, and then said, "Fellow Daoist Chen Yang is right, but Wen Ran's cultivation is so advanced that we brothers can only draw with him if we untie him. If you want to escape, we can't stop it. Besides, Fellow Daoist Chen Yang, you didn't even show the key for us to take a look, and you asked for it first, isn't it a bit unfair?"

Chen Yang had expected that Liu Cheng would say that. He looked at Shen Xu, and seeing that Shen Xu's face was normal, he took out the key from his cuff. "In this case, let you take a look!"

Then he stuck a talisman with extremely complicated patterns on the jade pendant and threw it in the air, and then a square magic circle wrapped the jade pendant in it.

Liu Cheng knew that the disciples of Luoxing Pavilion were good at magic circles, and Chen Yang dared to use this magic circle, so he was not excited when he saw the key in front of him, but carefully looked at the appearance of the jade pendant and the details on it Spiritual power fluctuates.

The compass of life and death was made by Shen Xu or Ling Yan when he was a full-fledged demon cultivator, so the main fluctuation of spiritual power attached to it was demonic energy, and the jade pendant floating in the magic circle in front of him had no The strong demonic energy appeared, but it was not in harmony with the spiritual power in the magic circle. From time to time there was a scratching sound, which meant that the spiritual power on the jade pendant was different from that of the magic circle. of.In other words, the jade pendant contains magic energy.

In addition, the pattern of this jade pendant is consistent with the pattern that Moxiu gave him, so Liu Cheng believes that this jade pendant is a key to the compass of life and death.

Liu Chengfang realized that he had missed something, so he turned his head to look at Chen Chuan and Zhang Xu who were beside him. Seeing that neither of them found anything suspicious, he ordered Wen Ran to be untied.

Liu Cheng looked at Chen Yang, "Daoist Chen Yang, now, let's hand over people and things."

"Yes, it is possible, but the premise is that you first remove the restrictions around us. Brother Wen is in your hands, are you still afraid that we will not be able to fight with you?"

Hearing this, Liu Cheng frowned and looked at the few monks around him, and asked slowly, "Who put the ban on?"

A monk stood up tremblingly, "It's me."

Liu Cheng smiled slightly, then grabbed the man's throat and cut it off with a snap.Seeing this, the others were too frightened to speak out.

Then Liu Chengchong said to Chen Yang, "My subordinates are too much. Please don't take it to heart."

Then he lifted the restriction with a wave of his hand.Seeing this, Chen Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he reached an agreement with Liu Cheng.

After the exchange of one person and one thing between the two parties, Shen Xu and the others wanted to leave this place immediately, so as not to be discovered by Liu Cheng and the others.

At this moment, Liu Cheng suddenly said, "Wait!"
