After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the headmaster immediately assigned tasks to Zi Yan, Yao Xiyan, Bai Xue, Cui Zhuojun, and Song Wei.
There are two main purposes:
First, many people in Baihe Prefecture Village have asked for help from various sects. The reason is that most of the people passing by this place have disappeared.
Secondly, the soul-breaking bell sealed within the sect has been lost, and may be in every village in Baihe Prefecture. Five people are needed to find it, and it must not fall into the hands of unscrupulous people.
The five people were ordered to go down the mountain, but because the elders were busy with important matters, they were unable to accompany them. Therefore, no elders followed them on this trip.
It is worth mentioning that the newly added Song Wei in this trip was the one who bore the brunt of bullying Ziyan in the dining hall, and was also the eldest disciple of the law enforcement elder. Bai Xue recognized him at a glance.
Song Wei also knew that Cui Zhuojun was the only one among the five who he had never offended. When he took a break along the way, he only dared to talk to Cui Zhuojun.
Bai Xue was indescribably disgusted with this kind of person who bullied others, and naturally she didn't want to have any communication with him. Yao Xiyan also remembered how Song Wei humiliated Zi Yan that day, and she just wished she could stay as far away from him as possible.
.
Baihe Prefecture Village is not very far from Yunyao Mountain. It only took three days of riding on horseback to reach the destination. However, when we arrived here, we did not see the boundary monument here.
As soon as a few people stopped, a dull bell sounded from the back.
"Dong...dong..."
It seems to be a reminder that it is dusk now.
After several searches, Bai Xue and others found a boundary monument that was heavily covered with dust in the dense grass. Four large characters were neatly engraved on the boundary monument: Baihe Prefecture Village.
After a few people confirmed that it was correct, they went straight into the village.
As we walked along, the village was eerily quiet. We had just walked for a long time and not a single villager was seen. The doors of every house were closed. For a long time, we only saw one inn open for business.
After the turbulence of the past few days, everyone was exhausted and urgently needed to find a safe place to sort out and adjust.
Bai Xue thought that even if it was just to solve the missing problem here, she might have to stay here for a few days, so after discussion, she decided to temporarily stay at Yuelai Inn.
"Waiter, stay at the hotel."
"Okay! How many rooms do the guests want?" The waiter pulled off the rag on his shoulder and wiped his face, "There are still two upper rooms in the shop, why not..."
"Then give him two upper rooms and a second room with a local name." After saying that, Bai Xue pointed at Song Wei, then took some silver coins and put them in front of the waiter.
Bai Xue made this decision not intentionally to exclude Song Wei, she just felt that three people in a room were too crowded, and Song Wei had a history of bullying Zi Yan many times, so naturally the two of them could not sleep in the same room alone.
"Okay, sir, let's invite you upstairs." With that, the waiter led the five people upstairs and sent them to their respective rooms.
The five of them simply placed their luggage in the room. Cui Zhuojun and Ziyan wanted to adjust their breathing on their own, Song Wei rested in the dizi room, and Bai Xue and Yao Xiyan planned to explore outside first.
Unexpectedly, before going down a few steps, he was stopped by an aggressive group of people.
Judging from the clothing and appearance of those young men, they should also be cultivators of immortality. Their short green shirts looked a bit like the school uniforms of the sect that visited the leader a few days ago. Bai Xue vaguely remembered that they were from the Xuan Yuan Sect.
The Xuanyuan Gate is located in Yuanqin Prefecture in Kyushu, bordering Baihe Prefecture. Compared with the Yunyao Sect, it is on the left and right, and there is not much difference in distance.
Several people were tired and tired. A young man in the lead slapped the counter hard, "What did you say? You didn't go to the room?"
"It's really unlucky for you, sir. All the rooms are full. You see, a lot of guests have moved in today. I'm really sorry..." The waiter explained again and again, "There are still a few more rooms in the shop.
A house with a local name is not as good as..."
"How can I let my young master live in a subdivision house? Do you know that my young master is the son of the head of the Xuanzhen Sect!" The boy's voice was heard louder than the other one, and it stung Bai Xue's eardrums.
Following the waiter's gaze, Bai Xue saw an unusual young man wearing a green gown sitting in front of the tea table, closing his eyes to meditate. The young man had red lips, white teeth, white eyebrows and clear eyes. He actually looked a bit like a feminine woman.
"The son of the head of Xuanzhen Sect?"
The person at the next table is wearing a white shirt with gilded patterns, elegant and dust-free, and must be a disciple of Wanyao Sect.
When several people heard this, they laughed even more contemptuously, "Zhou Leyun is just the son of a prostitute. How come he has entered the immortal sect and still retains the same attitude of the market in the past? A dog can't change his habit of eating shit. It's disgusting..."
These words seemed to touch Zhou Leyun's bottom line. He immediately opened his eyes, his narrow red phoenix eyes full of anger. "Looking at your uneducated appearance, I'm afraid I haven't even seen your mother's face. How dare such a person dare to
Are you worthy of insulting my young master?"
The Xuan Yu Sect disciples and the Wan Yao Sect disciples were completely angered by this, and more than a dozen people gathered around, at war with each other.
"What a joke! As expected of being the son of a prostitute, he is really good at controlling his subordinates!" The disciple of Wan Yao Sect was still unforgiving and insulted him repeatedly.
Zhou Leyun strangled the man's throat in just a moment. With just one push, the man would surely die.
Zhou Leyun's eyes were cold and full of murderous intent, which immediately shocked the man to dare not speak, "You can try it and say it again."
Bai Xue saw that the situation was not good, and looked at each other with Yao Xiyan, intending to give up their royal title to resolve the matter.
Yao Xiyan looked back at Bai Xue and understood, "We are all members of the Immortal Sect. Don't hurt the harmony. My senior sister and I will give up the upper house to Mr. Zhou. I don't know what Mr. Zhou wants?"
Seeing that Yao Xiyan came to smooth things over, and she was a woman, everyone didn't want to cause further trouble, so they left it at that.
When Zhou Leyun heard Yao Xiyan's voice, he immediately retracted his hand. For fear of leaving a bad impression on Yao Xiyan, he only glanced at Yao Xiyan. After confirming that Yao Xiyan did not express disgust,
Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "District name, 3 rooms."
As if he had received an imperial edict, the waiter quickly opened three rooms of different local brands for these six people.
This matter can be considered resolved at this point.
Bai Xue couldn't help but sigh, the heroine is indeed a heroine, everyone loves her, and flowers bloom when she sees her.
After settling the dispute, Bai Xue and Yao Xiyan walked around the village together along the road.
The conclusion they came to was: weird, extremely weird.
Not only on the way they came, the doors and windows of the entire village were closed, and there were no villagers in sight, except for the old man who rang the clock in the center of the village to tell the time.
Just because it happened to be Xu time when they passed by the center of the village, they met an old man climbing up the bell tower. After talking with the old man, they learned that the old man made a living by ringing bells. When they asked why there were no villagers in the village, the old man was indifferent anyway.
They didn't want to mention it anymore, and only advised them not to go out at night.
Yao Xiyan had fallen asleep after being exhausted for several days, and Bai Xue was feeling sleepy for some reason today. She wanted to explore the village at night, but in the end she fell down beside the table.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Xue was woken up by a series of curses.
She followed the sound of cursing and went downstairs to find out what was going on. She actually saw the disciples of Xuan Yue Sect and Wan Yao Sect arguing endlessly. The reason was that the disciple of Wan Yao Sect who insulted Zhou Leyun yesterday was missing!
