Dark Fairy

Chapter 456
Several days have passed since I started chatting with Yang Xiu that day.Zhou Dong was still guarding the edge of Yongchuan City, handling the affairs of the sword shop here.

The most important thing is intelligence-related matters, and at the same time, some killings will be done through the inner hall where Yang Xiu is located.It can be said that the dark part of Yongchuan City is actually controlled by the seemingly deserted small village outside the ruins of the city.

It's just that this dark part is actively shrinking recently.

Yang Xiu proposed it, and Liu Xu, Zhou Dong, and the red knives in the knife studio made many adjustments after repeated discussions. In the end, Yang Xiu's idea was generally implemented.Shrink your strength and start pretending to be a grandson.

The wharf cannot be lost. It is the most important business channel for the Knife Hall now, and it is also the key to guarding the lifeblood of the ruins of Yongchuan City.Therefore, Yang Xiu arranged many experts around the pier to watch, and there were also five Qi practitioners permanently stationed in the inner hall.This would have been considered "tightly guarded" in the past, but now there is really not much sense of security.Because the enemies that the sword shop faces are no longer the same as before.

It is not difficult to suppress the rebels in Funiu Mountain and Daomen Village. What is difficult is that the number of weirdos in Yongchuan City has begun to increase significantly.

These people usually wear black gauze hats and are covered in robes.As long as you don't speak, you won't be able to tell whether you are a boy or a girl, let alone your appearance.Moreover, these people always exude a sinister aura that seems to be invisible, making people afraid to approach them easily.

The only thing that is certain is that these people in black gauze and hats are all Qi practitioners, and their cultivation level is not low.At least for Yang Xiu, he couldn't see through the depth of the Qi practitioners hidden in black robes.All I can say is "not easy to mess with."

But the worst-case scenario didn't happen.The intelligence compiled by Zhou Dong's many informants in Yongchuan City showed that these people who like to wear black gauze hats and black robes are not in the same group.Instead, they work on their own, and are even more wary of each other. They care more about guarding against others than guarding others. It's very strange. They seem to know each other's identities, so they avoid getting too close?

What is the background of these people?
Yang Xiu judged that he might not be a serious monk, because no serious monk would have such a strong yin energy. If it is stained with yin energy, it is an evil thing, and cultivating yin energy is naturally an evil way.

But such a judgment also creates a dilemma for Yang Xiu: the only Qi practitioner who cultivates Yin Qi is Yaoxie, but Yaoxie's physical characteristics are too obvious, and there is very little human flavor. He is not at all like these black gauze bamboo hats in front of him. The appearance of a person wearing a black robe.But if they are not evil spirits, why do these people look so gloomy?
"Is it possible that these men in black robes just look different from ordinary evil spirits because their cultivation level is too high?" Zhou Dong's job is to collect and organize intelligence. He has his own customary opinions on abnormal things: Don't easily deny things that are different from your understanding. It may not be as simple as you think.

Therefore, Zhou Dong gave his own inference after combining the judgments and guesses of Yang Xiu and other Qi practitioners in the sword hall.

Zhou Dong's reason is also very simple: the Immortal Kingdom has already sent manpower a month ago, and it seems reasonable that the evil monks from the Immortal Kingdom will arrive soon, right?

As for whether the evil spirits in the fairyland are like in the lower realm, where everyone shouts and kills, it is unknown.

But what's interesting is that these men in black robes were not in a hurry to move on or cross the river after arriving in Yongchuan City.Instead, they stopped in or outside the city.Looking for some building ruins to climb up, I always look at the gray-white peaks that are far away but still huge and shocking.I don’t know what I’m looking at or what I’m waiting for.

There were also some seemingly unrelated things, but Zhou Dong rummaged through them, and finally summarized them and focused them on these black-robed men.

"Master Dong, these are the latest information after inquiries and screening by refugees and bandits. They are similar to the previous ones, but there are also changes. Especially regarding the unexplained deaths you mentioned before, there are many refugees and bandits gathered around. It happened a lot. And even among the rebels, there were similar things.

Some rebels have already asked doctors to see him. Fortunately, it was not a plague, but few people knew how he died. "

Zhou Dong thought, "Sure enough." "Coordinate with the inner bureau and let them find opportunities to go inside the refugees and bandits to see what happened to the bodies of those who died inexplicably."

Soon, the news from the inner hall came back after two days: the soul was broken and died.

"They are indeed a group of evil spirits!"

Also following the news was Yang Xiu.Unlike Zhou Dong who had guessed beforehand, Yang Xiu was quite surprised by this, but he also understood the trouble Yongchuan City was facing at this time: it was surrounded by evil spirits.

"The good news is that the city is relatively safe. At least these evil spirits have not thought of killing people." Zhou Dong drank tea, but he was not too anxious.

"Zhou Dong, how do you respond?" Seeing that Zhou Dong was not panicked at all, Yang Xiu asked curiously.In his opinion, Yaoxie is a "human-eating" monster, no different from Yunyan Barbarian, and even more dangerous.In addition, the other party is likely to come from a place similar to the fairyland, so Yang Xiu can't think of how to deal with it.

Zhou Dong smiled and said: "Response? The sword is not here, what can we do with the strength we have? Hide."

"Zhou Dong, you can't just hide from this kind of thing. You have to be prepared." Yang Xiu frowned slightly when he heard this.Although he couldn't think of a way to deal with it, he still felt that pretending not to see it was not a problem.

"Yongchuan City is the closest place to Que'er Mountain. Other places are either barren mountains or dead cities. I think those foreign evil spirits don't want to sleep in the open air, so Yongchuan City is left intact. Of course, it's also possible that they don't want to be destroyed. Those golden-robed immortals noticed it, so they didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

In this way, we just guard the pier, try not to go out of the city, and don't provoke these people, and nothing will happen.What's more, didn't Master Liu say that?We are now under the cover of the Lengyue Sect. In times of crisis, we can lift the Lengyue Sect out. "

"This is also a way."

"It's just temporary. These evil spirits have gathered in Yongchuan City and won't leave. Does Yang Hongdao think they are like a group of hungry wolves who want to eat meat but are afraid of danger?"

"How's that?"

"The hungry wolf dare not move for fear of danger. It is also the order of the missing wolf. These evil spirits do not dare to cause trouble here, but once the alpha wolf appears, I am afraid it will not be like this now. By then, the wharf on the Yongchuan City side Maybe it doesn’t even have to happen.”

"This"

"Be prepared for the worst. Yang Hongdao, you should talk to the brothers in the inner hall first, and I will start making arrangements as soon as possible. By the way, I think the news here should be reported to Leng Yuezong. Seriously, what do you think?"
