Lost Narrative Poetry

"Oh, I remember..." Yun Tianhe nodded clearly, and then asked with some confusion, "But what are they doing here?"

"You ask me who I'm going to ask. Maybe it's because they are cultivators of immortality. They happen to be passing through Shouyang City. They heard about monsters hurting people and came to take a look." The more Han Lingsha thought about it, the more she felt. That's right, the tone is quite firm.

Moreover, those two people are currently unable to wield swords and can only walk, so it is normal to leave footprints in the cave.

"Yes or no, we can find out when we rush there." Liu Mengli thought for a while and suggested softly.

The other two people didn't have any objections. They just wanted to take a look, so they accelerated their pace and followed the traces that were very obvious in their eyes. They searched and tracked them all the way, much faster than before.

Because it was determined that no one had walked this route not long ago, and all the poisonous insects and poisonous weeds along the way were cleared away first, so the three of them were saved a lot of trouble, and they did not have to carefully identify the road in the intricate caves and struggle to figure out where to go. Whichever direction you go, your speed will naturally increase.

About a quarter of an hour later, the three of them had reached the depths of the cave. They faintly heard the sound of conversation coming from the front. After looking at each other, they all quickened their pace.

"...Such a powerful swordsmanship, it actually pierces the heart with one sword..."

"...It's Senior Uncle Ziying! It must be Senior Uncle Ziying who has such ability, I just said..."

The gentle voice of a man and the chirping of a little girl came from the dim space ahead. Han Lingsha felt happy and sighed that her fortune had finally turned around today, and she subconsciously speeded up her pace.

Huaishuo and Xuanji were also aware of the arrival of the three people. They looked back warily and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw who it was.

"As expected, it's you two. We meet again. We are really destined..." Han Lingsha said hello with a smile, sparing no effort to improve the favorability of the two people opposite.

"So it's Miss Han. Has yesterday's problem been solved?" Huaishuo returned the favor and asked gently, his politeness giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

"Why is it you again? Are you following me and my senior brother..." The little girl next to her pouted unhappily and looked at the three people in front of her with suspicious eyes.

"Xuanji!"

Huaishuo looked at him with reproachful eyes and scolded softly, his expression serious and serious.

The little girl shrank and snorted, but didn't say anything else. It could be seen that although she was usually willful, it was all because Huai Shuo was so easy to talk to. Once the latter became really strict, she would feel scared. of.

"No, little sister, please don't think too much. I'm not following you... Ahem, that's it. We were entrusted by Mr. Liu, the magistrate of Shouyang County, to come to Nuluoyan to quell the monsters. It's just right. Just met you..."

Han Lingsha waved her hands repeatedly and explained. The main purpose was to eliminate the misunderstanding and avoid arousing Xuanji's hostility.

Although she really wanted to immediately request to join the other sect, she also knew that superficial friendships cannot be explained in depth. We had only met twice so far, and we were not even familiar with each other.

"I see, then we are all a step too late..." Huaishuo smiled politely.

"Are you one step too late?" The girl in red was stunned for a moment.

"What exactly is going on?"

Liu Mengli frowned tightly, looking past Huaishuo and the two to see the crime scene. Unlike Han Lingsha, she focused all her attention on Huaishuo and Xuanji, and was thinking about how to make excuses. Or get closer.

So at this time, she had already clearly seen the scene in the darkness ahead. It was shocking and tragic. The ground was stained with blood, and the vines and grass growing deep in the cave were dyed dark brown. There is surrounding soil as well.

The carcasses of half-human-sized animals that looked like giant rabbits lay scattered on the ground, which seemed to indicate that a terrible massacre had occurred not long ago in the depths of the cave. These locust demons were killed without the ability to fight back. Kill them all.

"Ah...this..."

Only then did Han Lingsha belatedly notice the dim scene behind the two sword fairies, and she couldn't help but be surprised and covered her mouth with her hand.

"Did someone kill all the monsters? Then we don't have to do anything?" Yun Tianhe scratched his head.

"That's not the case, Mr. Yun. We are just here to find out why the Sophora Demon is suddenly hurting people. It is not necessarily to eliminate the demon."

Liu Mengli shook her head when she heard this. She lightly raised her long eyelashes and her tone remained calm——

"The Sophora Demon has always been gentle, there must be some reason..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped, turned around and looked behind her in the direction she came from, and said thoughtfully: "Someone is coming again."

Almost at the same time——

"So you guys are here, which makes it easy for me to find a meal..." A crisp voice suddenly sounded, making everyone suddenly startled.

Everyone turned their heads and subconsciously looked in a certain direction, only to see a delicate figure slowly walking out of the darkness.

It was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with fair complexion, a few locks of hair scattered on her forehead, and a light and delicate figure. He is also wearing a blue shirt and white clothes, with a long sword hanging on his waist, which is exactly the same as Huai Shuo and Xuanji's dressing style.

"Senior Sister Xiuyu?!"

Xuanji suddenly screamed out in surprise. She suddenly became energetic. Her movements were faster than her voice and she rushed towards her. She hugged the little senior sister who was not much older than herself and rubbed her hard against her——

"Sister Xiuyu, why are you here?"

"Uncle Ziying has not returned to the mountain gate yet, and you two have not returned for a long time. The master ordered me to come down from the mountain to check..."

The girl named Xiuyu sighed, and stretched out her hand in disgust to push Xuanji away, who was clinging to her like a koala. It's just that the other party hugged her tightly, and she hadn't fully regained her strength, and she didn't invest in strength when she added more points, so she couldn't succeed.

"So that's it, but Uncle Ziying was just delayed because of me, and he will go back soon..." Xuanji finally let her go and started chirping, her tone was so excited that she seemed to be coming back. Taking credit for himself, "Senior Sister Xiuyu, look at all these monsters, Uncle Ziying killed them..."

Discovering that the visitor was not an enemy or some dangerous monster, Han Lingsha breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, and at the same time couldn't help but murmur in her heart, are all immortal cultivators so young? Is it natural talent, or is it just good looks?

"He killed them all?" Xiuyu frowned, glanced at the corpses of the Sophora Demon on the ground, and couldn't help but have doubts.

This is not too big or too small, it can be considered a branch line, right? That guy actually didn't do anything. Could it be that he is so wealthy that he no longer looks down on the flesh of these mosquito legs? But even if we don’t need points and causal crystals, we still still have earth spirit beads, right?

She suppressed the doubts in her heart, walked over, knelt down and carefully inspected the body of the Sophora Demon on the ground, and the doubts in her heart became even more intense.

Really do nothing? Or did something unexpected happen that caused the delay?

Everyone looked at each other and then stepped forward to check. The conclusions they got were basically the same. All the Sophora Demons were killed by a sword through the heart. It was extremely sharp and precise. The time of death was probably after yesterday. midnight……

And at this moment——

"What a brilliant illusion!"

Liu Mengli seemed to have finally discovered something. She opened her eyes slightly and couldn't help but marvel.

"..."

"..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looking at the girl who looked like a fairy.

Xiuyu thought for a moment, then asked in a very strange tone: "You said this... is an illusion?"

"Yes, all of this is just an illusion. I'm afraid that even the person who did it didn't realize it, and what he killed was just an phantom..." Liu Mengli nodded lightly and replied, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she looked around After circling around, he stared at a certain position among the crowd.

"You're talking nonsense! How could Uncle Ziying be deceived by such means..." Xuanji suddenly became anxious and started shouting loudly. She looked even more angry than when she was questioned by others!

Liu Mengli had no intention of defending, she just glanced at that position again, and then lowered her eyes slightly.

She performed a hand trick in front of everyone, and several purple luminous runes appeared along with her spiritual power. Then she gently swept her sleeves, and the runes dispersed into dots of purple light, crossing criss-crossing trajectories and scattering into the surroundings. .

"Dreams, shadows, mist, and flowers are all empty space. Because the mind is moving, it turns into an illusion - it's better for everything to disperse!"

The sound was clear and crisp, like jade beads falling on a silver plate. However, as a strange wave spread, the surrounding scene immediately changed astonishingly.

The body disappeared...

The mottled blood stains were wiped away...

Li Vanilla Bush and the surrounding land, which were completely contaminated by blood, have returned to normal...

It was just an empty cave. There was no murder scene. There was nothing at all!

"..."

"..."

Everyone fell silent at the same time. In a daze, they even suspected that they were under an illusion.

"Pa bang bang..."

The next moment, there was gentle applause, and at the same time, a slightly surprised voice came from the side: "The performance is quite amazing. Not only did he see through it, but he was actually able to break my spell..."

The young Taoist stood among a few people, clapping his hands gently with a look of surprise on his face.

etc! when! ?

Everyone was shocked. This person didn't seem to appear suddenly at all, but seemed to have been standing beside them all the time. It was just that they didn't notice each other until now, and they had simply ignored each other's existence before.

Being suddenly frightened like this, everyone's reactions were different——

Huaishuo stretched out his hand to protect Xuanji out of reflex, and took a few steps back. He looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and looked extremely alert. Xiuyu's eyes flickered and she said nothing. This was not the right time to reveal that she and the other party had known each other for a long time.

But what kind of plane is this guy doing? If you don't become a good magician, why would you change into a Taoist robe?

Although Yun Tianhe was slightly startled, he quickly calmed down as he didn't feel any murderous intent. He just thought it was fun and stared at the young Taoist with interest.

He recognized this person. He had met him at night by the lake before. He was very envious of the other person's ability to turn a piece of hair into his own. If he could learn how to do it, he could hunt wild boars while sleeping in the future. .

Liu Mengli was not surprised at all. She just stretched out her hand to gently hold the hair around her ears, and smiled elegantly and generously: "The Taoist Master is overly praised, and I am just taking advantage..."

"Huh? What does it mean to be clever?" Xia Ran tilted his head. He didn't find out how the other party was clever, but it sounded very sincere and not like a humble statement.

Liu Mengli's lips curled up, but before she could speak, Han Lingsha had already reacted to the huge surprise and asked in a daze: "Yes, yes, yes, it's you——!!"

"Oh, it's me..." Xia Ran glanced at her and said calmly, "What's the matter with Miss Han?"

"I, I want... I want to ask you..." Han Lingsha was about to blurt out almost subconsciously, but when she finished speaking, she abruptly changed the question, "Did someone come to slay the demon last night? Were you deceived by your illusion?"

"yes."

"Is that person their uncle..." The girl in red forced a smile. In fact, she didn't care about this matter at all now, she was just changing the topic abruptly.

Xia Ran gave her a strange look: "How do I know this?"

"Then can you describe the person you saw then?"

"It's okay, but it was too dark at the time, so I couldn't see clearly——"

The young Taoist frowned, put his hand on his chin and began to think.

"That man is a young monk who is eight feet tall and nineteen years old. He wears a white robe and a blue vest. On the gauntlet, there is a pattern of four auspicious clouds surrounding a sword embroidered on the back. He owns a sword gate and is extremely specialized and obsessed with the art of forging and raising swords. His personality is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He is stable and reserved. Although he seems to be difficult to get along with, he is actually a passionate man with clear grudges and a strong sense of friendship. However, he has some problems with monsters. bias……"
