    Chapter 26 Floating Platform (2)

    The sect specially prepared Yunzhou for them.

    The disciples who were new to the sect were all very young and came down the mountain for the first time. They were very excited and pestered Heng Bai with questions.

    "Elders, elders, what do demons look like?"

    "Elder, how many days will we go this time?"

    Heng Bai rolled his eyes to the sky again and said angrily: "What does the demon seed look like? You can't tell it until you take a look at it? How many days will it take to complete the task? Why do you ask me?"

    Heng Bai had no patience at all with these little brats, so he carried them one by one onto the spaceship.

    He is a majestic Mahayana monk, but he is just a little young!The sect leader actually said that he had a bad temper and sent him to Lao Shizi Academy to train for a year!What a waste of his time!

    Heng Bai said disdainfully: "It's just a mortal demon. If you can't handle this, you can just jump off the nine thousand nine hundred steps."

    The disciple said softly: "Oh."

    Heng Bai hurried back, but as soon as he turned around, someone put a hand on his shoulder.

    Someone asked him in a familiar casual tone: "Elder Hengbai, do we have any senior brothers or sisters to lead the team this time?"

    Heng Bai's veins were pulsing. He became angry when he heard Yan Qing's voice and said angrily: "A mere mortal demon still needs to lead a team? Let me see your brain..." The words in his throat were: "The brain has been kicked by a donkey.""Yeah," he choked back. The moment he raised his head, he looked like a chicken whose neck was pinched, and his eyes almost popped out.

    With a smile on her lips, Yan Qing waved her hand in front of him: "Elder Hengbai, Elder Hengbai..."

    Elder Heng Bai couldn't see him at all, but looked at the people next to Yan Qing in horror.

    Xie Shiyi was looking at the wooden sword in his hand. When he lowered his eyes, his black and long eyelashes covered his eyes.They are obviously simple and elegant clothes for a disciple who has forgotten his feelings, but Xie Shiyi seems to have a cold and mundane feeling on his body, like morning mist, like morning dew, and like the alienating and distant wind.

    Heng Bai felt that his tongue was tied and he couldn't speak clearly. He said like a bolt from the blue: "Thank you, thank you, senior brother..."

    Xie Shiyi had not used a wooden sword for a long time. He still felt uncomfortable after holding it for a while. With a slight movement of his fingers, he smashed the wooden sword into pieces, and white fragments fell from his fingers.Hearing Heng Bai's voice, Xie Shiyi raised his head, his dark eyes pure and cold, looking over from a distance.

    "..."

    Heng Bai only felt that his legs were weak, when he was about to kneel down with a pop.It was Yan Qing's voice that brought him back to his senses, and he said lazily: "Elder Hengbai, when will Yunzhou set off."

    Heng Bai ignored him and just looked at Xie Shiyi blankly. After the shock and fear, his eyes were full of ecstasy and admiration, and he said excitedly: "Brother Xie, why are you here?Are you going to leave the clan?"

    Xie Shiyi said calmly: "Go to Qingle City."

    Heng Bai suspected that he was deaf: "Qingle City?!"

    Yan Qing was not embarrassed to be ignored all the time. He helped and added: "Yes, isn't there a bride in Qingle City who turned into a demon? Brother Xie went down to eliminate demons and defend the way."

    Heng Bai really wanted to glare at Yan Qing and tell him to shut up, but because of Xie Shiyi, he could only hold it in and said in disbelief: "Brother, what are you doing in Qingle City?"

    Xie Shiyi smiled faintly, but his voice was cold, and he said casually: "Are you having trouble hearing?"

    Heng Bai: "..."

    Yan Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud.When Heng Bai met them, he was really frustrated.

    Yan Qing suppressed a laugh and gloated to Heng Bai, "Elder Heng Bai, next time I trouble your uncle to speak, please listen carefully."

    Heng Bai couldn't bear to be angry with Senior Brother Xie, whom he respected and admired, and he only felt ashamed after being scolded.But as soon as he heard Yan Qing's words, he exploded and immediately gritted his teeth and glared at him: "You are so shameless!"

    This picture is really strangely harmonious - it really is "The Son-in-law of a Immortal Family".

    The shameless uncle, the innocent eldest daughter of the sect, and an indignant maid next to the eldest daughter.

    Yan Qing was laughing so hard in her heart that she wanted to say something, but she was already dragged away by the innocent "eldest lady".

    "Wait a minute! Xie Shiyi, what are you doing? Walk slower! You pulled my hair!"

    Yan Qing cherishes his hair as much as his life, but Xie Shiyi always goes his own way.He could only keep up with Xie Shiyi's pace, shouting while protecting his hair.

    When Yan Qing raised his hand, the red thread on his wrist fell down and swayed with the mountain breeze.Although Xie Shiyi in front did not look back, his pace still slowed down a bit.Their clothes were fluttering in the twilight. They were both tall and tall, and their temperaments were completely different yet perfectly compatible.

    Heng Bai was still angry at first and felt that Yan Qing was simply a beast who got an advantage and acted like a good boy!But when he looked up and saw the two people leaving, his anger and complaints froze for a moment.

    Ahead, Yan Qing finally got his hair back. He was a little funny and a little angry. He gritted his teeth and said something to Xie Shi.Xie Shiyi lowered his head slightly and listened quietly to what he said. After listening, the corners of his lips seemed to curl up with a hint of cool sarcasm, and he raised his eyes to look at Yan Qing.The cliff fell and the wind blew, and white flowers rolled across the sky.The moment their eyes met, light and shadow seemed to have become the background, leaving only each other, their every move, word and deed, familiar to the depths of their souls.

    Heng Bai froze on the spot, unable to regain consciousness for a long time. This was the first time that he felt that...his first senior brother who stood on the altar of Shangzhongtian had such a trace of fireworks and a trace of reality.

    The Yunzhou ride Yan Qing took this time was completely incomparable to the one he took the first time.

    The Yunzhou I rode last time when I was sent to Nanzezhou from Huichun was definitely the most expensive in the entire Wangqing Sect.

    Now here, I don’t have anything I want, not even a separate space.

    Yan Qing looked left and right, and finally said hypocritically: "Yao Yao, you are really wronged by following me." It's no wonder that Heng Bai regarded him as a thorn in his side - look at the miserable life that the Wangqing Sect's golden branches and jade leaves followed him!!

    However, his side of "Xianmen's Son-in-Law" had already eloped in the third episode, and Xie Shiyi still didn't even look at her.

    Even Jinzhiyuye smiled softly and said coldly: "It's best not to say anything about what you are thinking, and don't let me know." After saying that, he walked to the top floor of Yunzhou, and the silvery cold light was rising and falling under his steps.Separate yourself from everyone with a barrier.

    Yan Qing: "..."

    Yan Qing looked at his back and said, "Are you really here to practice with me?"

    Yunzhou traveled for a day to Qingle City.From the conversations with other disciples, Yan Qing also learned about the matter in detail.The deceased's surname was Sun, and his name was Sun Hebi. He was the second young master of the Sun family in Qingle City.The bride is Zhang Mushi, the fifth daughter of the Zhang family from another prominent family in Qingle City.In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them, Sun and Zhang, were a match made in heaven. No one expected that such a human tragedy would happen on the wedding night.

    Coincidentally, when they arrived, Qingle City was in mid-spring, and the flowers all over the city were in bloom, and the Floating Lantern Festival was held like a flowing stream of cars and horses.Because of this bloody and cruel murder in the city, people are panicking, so the Lantern Festival is temporarily put on hold.

    The streets and alleys were deserted, but they were filled with colorful lanterns that had no time to be dismantled.One by one, row upon row of pavilions form a vast and bustling scene.

    When they stepped off the cloud boat, it was night, and the lantern market illuminated the night like day.

    After knowing that the visitor was a disciple of the Wangqing Sect, the head of the Sun family led a group of children and servants to greet him from ten miles away.There was no senior brother or sister in their group to lead the group. As the only inner peak disciple, Mingze naturally became the leader.

    The head of the Sun family bowed his hands in salute and said respectfully: "See you, all immortals!"

    The beautiful woman next to him has a plump figure. She must have been crying in the past few days, and her eyes are still swollen. When she saw them, she bowed to them: "I have met all the immortals."

    Mingze nodded and said, "First take us to see where the demon committed the crime."

    The head of the Sun family was frightened: "Yes, all immortals, come with me."

    Yan Qing walked at the end, very interested in the lights of Qingle City behind him, and looked back frequently.In fact, the Red Lotus Pavilion where he used to live also had many lights, but those lights were all blue, burning on the bones.It wasn't that Yan Qing had a weird aesthetic, it was that the old eunuch next to him was mentally ill - he thought that Yan Qing's image at that time could only be suitable for such a weird scene.hehe.

    Yan Qing looked away without forgetting and said, "Xie Shiyi, after we finish killing the demon species, let's go hang out at the Floating Lantern Festival."

    Xie Shiyi just wanted to accompany him to have a baby.He had such a cold attitude even when investigating Zi Xiao's death, let alone such a murder case of a bride in Qingle City.Ignoring Yan Qing's suggestion, he just asked calmly: "How long will it take for you to have a baby?"

    Yan Qing thought for a while: "I think the baby will be born in about two or three days?"

    Xie Shiyi: "Yeah."

    Yan Qing looked around and asked, "Did you notice the aura of Nightmare when you came in?"Anyone can kill the bride.

    Xie Shiyi smiled softly when he heard this, but his tone was so cold that it was shocking: "Isn't this the experience you dream of? Why do you ask me?"

    Yan Qing: "...Oh!"

    Yan Qing began his "dream" experience.

    In order to facilitate the monks' investigation, the new house of Sun and Zhang has been kept as it is.

    The moment they opened the door, the stench and rotten smell suddenly made many disciples who were coming down the mountain for the first time turn pale and turn around to retching.Yan Qing looked inside and saw overwhelming blood.Blood splattered on the floor, on the table, on the bed, and on the rafters.The body of Mr. Sun Er was lying on the wedding bed. It had been chewed until only a skeleton was left. A layer of skin was torn off his head, which was rotten and swollen. Maggots were surging in the remaining flesh and blood.

    In addition to blood, there were many unknown yellow and white things on the ground, like human brains.

    The scene is brutal and bloody, like hell on earth.

    Mrs. Sun was so sad that she picked up a handkerchief to wipe her tears and burst into tears beside her.

    The head of the Sun family couldn't bear to look any further, turned around and said in a trembling voice: "Chief Immortal, this is the place where the child was killed."

    A disciple of Wangqing Sect turned pale and asked Mingze, "Senior Brother Ming, is the bride really a demon?"

    Mingze was born in a family of cultivators in Nanze Prefecture, and he has been knowledgeable since he was a child. He walked forward, touched the blood on the table, and then put it in front of his nose and smelled it.

    The most fundamental way to identify demon species in the world of cultivation is nightmare, but the immortal weapons that can see nightmares are very rare in the world. Even the Wangqing Sect cannot give a group of new disciples even an earth-level immortal weapon.

    Mingze frowned, looked at the miserable situation in the room, and said softly: "After the nightmare wakes up, the demon species will become bloodthirsty and ferocious, and will eat human flesh. Looking at the situation here, there is no doubt that Miss Zhang's family must be the demon species.Now, the nightmare in my body has woken up."

    When Mrs. Sun heard this, she cried even louder. Her voice was desperate and sad: "It's all my fault. How could I be blind and choose her as my daughter-in-law in the first place? I was the one who harmed my Hebi. It's mine."Wrong, my fault, it’s all my fault!”

    The head of the Sun family sighed and comforted her: "Madam, don't blame yourself. If the nightmare hadn't awakened, who would have known whether she was a demon. You shouldn't be blamed for this."

    Mrs. Sun's makeup was wet with tears, and her whole body was trembling: "No, no, Master, no. Do you remember the seventh girl of the Zhang family? A month ago, the seventh girl of the Zhang family went up the mountain to worship Buddha with her and disappeared., when I found it later, I heard that Miss Zhang Qi had been gnawed clean by jackals. But in Qingle City, which is a hundred miles away, there are no jackals anywhere. At that time, someone told me that Zhang Mushi had been there since she returned to the temple., gloomy and weird, a little abnormal. I didn’t worry about it, now it seems that she has a warning that she is a demon!"

    "Look, the seventh girl from the Zhang family died in her hands, and Zhang Mushi was the jackal."

    The more Mrs. Sun cried, the sadder she became, and she was about to die: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. I knew all these things, but I didn't even doubt her, causing my poor He Bi to end up like this."

    A group of disciples from Wangqing Sect entered the world for the first time. Seeing her crying so sadly, they didn't know what to say for a moment.

    At this moment, a voice came, old and full of hatred.

    "Why are you crying? Now that the matter is over, the most important thing is not to find Zhang Muchi."

    Everyone looked back and saw the brightly lit Sun Mansion.A young man in the Nascent Soul stage wearing a blue robe walked slowly supporting an old lady with gray hair.

    The old lady was in her sixties, stooped and leaning on a cane. Her face was full of wrinkles, but she couldn't hide the sharp hatred.

    The monk next to her has an ordinary appearance but outstanding bearing. His blue robe is embroidered with a few white flying feathers, which fall on the skirt and cuffs. It is clearly the clothes of the floating flower door.

    When the head of the Sun family saw the two of them, he hurried over to greet them: "Mother, second brother."

    The old man is the old lady of Sun Mansion.The young monk from the Floating Flower Gate is called Sun Junhao. He is the second monk from the Sun family with outstanding qualifications to join the Floating Flower Gate besides the legendary ancestor. He is also the second uncle of the deceased.

    Sun Junhao nodded to the head of the Sun family, then bowed to all the Wangqing Sect disciples and said, "Thank you all fellow Taoists for traveling thousands of miles to investigate my nephew's affairs. Sun is grateful."

    Mingze saw him slightly stunned and asked doubtfully: "Since my fellow Taoist is in the city, why don't you personally take action to avenge your blood relatives?"

    Sun Junhao smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I just came out of seclusion yesterday and got the bad news and just rushed home from Fuhuamen tonight."

    Mingze nodded: "That's it."

    Sun Junhao said: "I wonder if you have discovered it now?"

    It is easy for a monk in the Nascent Soul stage to find a person, but it is difficult to find a demon species.

    Because when the demon species is controlled by Nightmare, its breath will be completely hidden, and the curse of the ancient demon god is simply not something they can pursue.Everyone can only infer the direction based on clues.

    Mingze tilted his head, pointed to the east window and said: "The bride left through this window. I used my spiritual sense to explore the structure of the Sun Mansion before. This window escaped and led to the back door of the Sun Mansion. The doorThere is a river behind, and the bride should be walking along the river. When the time comes, we will split into two groups."

    Sun Junhao: "Okay, I'm done."

    The head of the Sun family helped the old lady leave.

    Mrs. Sun covered her tears with her sleeves and kept crying: "It's all my fault. If I had paid more attention, how could I have ended up like this?"

    Her cries gave the old man a headache.Mrs. Sun stopped walking, hit the ground hard with her cane, looked back with bloodshot eyes, and shouted angrily: "That's enough! Stop crying! Let my ears be quiet for a while!"

    Mrs. Sun was frightened by her, covered her nose and mouth with a handkerchief, and sobbed silently.

    Because of Xie Shiyi, Yan Qing has never dared to venture into the crowd.Although few people in the entire Wangqing Sect have actually seen Xie Shiyi.But Xie Shiyi's temperament is too special, and his aloof and indifferent attitude is too obvious.He is afraid of being beaten.

    Thinking of this, Yan Qing couldn't help but chuckle.

    After Mingze finished his instructions, he let them choose their own direction.

    Yan Qing took out a human copper plate from his sleeve and said to Xie Shiyi, "Yaoyao, how about we make a bet! Do you think the bride went to the upper reaches of the river or the lower reaches of the river." Yan Qing threw it away.Copper said: "I guess downstream."

    Xie Shiyi looked at him quietly and said coldly: "I don't care where the bride goes."

    Yan Qing knew the implication of his words, put the copper plate back into his sleeve, and sighed silently: "I know, don't rush me, I'm trying to conceive a baby."

    Since it was his own bold words made through experience, Yan Qing was still very serious. He lazily raised his lips and said with a smile: "Don't neglect doing good deeds because they are small."

    The two of them were the last to leave. As soon as they stepped out of the back door of Sun's mansion, they were suddenly stopped by Mrs. Sun: "Wait a moment, two immortals."

    Yan Qing has always felt that he is an approachable and good-natured person.After all, when they were beggars in Heishui Alley in their previous life, the two of them would have starved to death if they relied on Xie Shiyi.Thanks to his sweet-tongued manner, his ability to talk nonsense to people and ghosts, and to be good at deceit and deceit, he was able to survive.

    "Is there something wrong, Mrs. Sun?" Yan Qing turned around and smiled at her.

    Mrs. Sun had no choice but to summon up the courage to call out to these two immortals.Before, these two immortals had been in the bamboo shadow in the corner at the end of the crowd, making it difficult for people to see clearly, so she didn't think much about it.

    After speaking out, she didn't expect that one of them turned around and looked over with a smile. His beautiful face made her freeze in place.

    The moonlight is like frost, and the young man wearing a blue and white robe has beautiful peach blossom eyes with exquisite shape, and he has a sense of romance when he smiles.The person next to him didn't even stop walking. He had no choice but to stop when his sleeves were forcibly pulled by the peach-eyed boy.

    Mrs. Sun felt nervous and fearful, and her heart was about to jump into her throat. But when she thought of the tragic death of her son, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She knelt down directly in front of Yan Qing, kowtowed deeply, and sobbed: "Immortal, it's all my consideration.I was not careful and harmed my child. When I think about this, I feel so sad that I don’t know what to do. Immortals, please take me with you, and I will go with you to find Zhang Muchi."

    Yan Qing walked around the red line. Although her eyebrows were curved, she was not moved at all. She only said: "Mrs. Sun, there is no need to take all the responsibility on herself. Before everything happened, who could have known that Miss Zhang was a demon."

    Mrs. Sun burst into tears: "Sir, there are always some signs before the nightmare within the demon species awakens. The disappearance of Miss Zhang Qi from Jiangjin Temple was a wake-up call for me, but I didn't take it to heart."

    Yan Qing smiled, but still rejected her: "Madam, please go back and rest. The demon species is extremely ferocious. If you follow us, it will only hinder us."

    Mrs. Sun was stunned, and then realized how unreasonable her request was when she was not clear-headed.

    "Yes, that's what the Immortal said." He blushed, kowtowed again in shame, and left with the help of the maid.
