Monument of Life and Death

   "Sounds..." Yi Yao said hesitantly, "Could it be that brother Baomu misunderstood something?"

  Xiaolan saw that Yi Yao didn't quite believe in herself, she tilted her head and asked, "Then why do you think he is strange? Is it just too sad?"

   "Although I don't know Xiao Kong very well, he didn't seem to be such a sentimental person before, and..." Yi Yao lowered his voice, "I have heard some rumors that may not be accurate..."

  Xiaolan put his head together, looking like a gossip.

   "What rumor?"

   It's time for Yi Yao to hesitate, Xiaolan frantically grinds it for a long time, Yi Yao looks around cautiously, and after confirming that there are no people nearby, she finally speaks.

"Do you remember that our factions have been investigating internal spies recently, right?" Yi Yao looked at Xiaolan with a connotation on his face, and after he finished speaking, he pursed his lips, as if he was saying, "You understand, right? ?".

  Xiaolan's brain slowly circled several times, but he found resonance in Yi Yao's eyes.

   "Ah..." Xiaolan shook her index finger sharply, her eyes widened, "You mean..."

   "Shh!—" Yi Yao completely lost his dignified temperament when he first appeared on the stage, and transformed himself into a little boy chatting with Xiaolan, "Don't be heard by others!"

  Xiaolan quickly covered her mouth and nodded knowingly.

   It turned out that the people in the fifth watch actually suspected, at least once suspected that Xiao Kong was a spy.

   "But why... what did he do?" Xiaolan couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know the specific situation," Yi Yao sighed and said, "But it is said that the evidence on the Wugengtian side seems to be relatively clear, but for some reason, the action of clearing the sect suddenly disappeared. The movement, the inside story, we, the expatriates, have no way of knowing.”

   Xiaolan bit her lip and pondered.

   You expats have no way of knowing, which doesn’t mean I have no way of knowing.

   "As for the smell you mentioned..." Yi Yao continued, "I can't think of the reason... Could it be that you have actually seen Xiao Kong?"

   Xiaolan held down her temple and thought hard.

   Suspicious Dean, Suspicious Eyelet, Suspicious Explosion…

   All of this should be related.

   Before Xiaolan could sort out her thoughts, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang, causing the two of them to shiver. Xiaolan took out her phone and took a look, and hurriedly pulled Yi Yao to the stairwell on the side of the corridor.

   "It's Brother Baomu," Xiaolan pointed to the phone and said, "It looks like they have arrived."

   "Quickly answer the phone," Yi Yao said, "I'll look outside the door."

  Xiaolan pressed the call button with a drop, and the noise of his companions instantly poured into his ears.

   "Xiao Lan! You're answering the phone!" It was Qin Yin's voice that broke into the eardrum first, "We thought you lost it too!…"

"I've been busy just now, I didn't look at my phone..." Xiaolan noticed the bright red message and said, "And I... Wait, Miss Xiaoyin, why did you say that? Who else lost it? ?”…

   "Who else is there?" Qin Yin sounded so anxious that he almost cried, "The Daoist priest and the others are gone!"

  Xiaolan was almost choked by the breath on her chest, she was dumbfounded for a while, before she regained her ability to speak.

   "Dao... Dao Master, they..."

   "They're all gone, we..."

   "Okay, don't worry, Xiaoyin, give me the phone," the fool answered the phone and said, "Xiaolan, we have arrived at the hotel, but the Taoist priest and the others are not here at all."

   "They are... all missing?" Xiao Lan's trembling voice attracted Yi Yao, "That elder sister Xia Hua, and Li Muyuan..."

"They're all gone," the fool's voice became a little hoarse, "the lady boss said, she didn't know when they left, it's been a few days ago, she heard it was very quiet upstairs, so she knocked Knocked on our door and found that the door was not closed, and no one was left."

   "After all, it may be what happened the day we left." Baomu's voice was a little far away, but it came through clearly.

  Xiaolan suddenly realized, "Aya Luo said that Laomu can't feel the existence of Uncle Luo, could it be because of..."

   "Don't scare us," Bao Mu said, "Didn't Wu Ren say they're all right?"

   "Where are Miaozhen and Zhuge Shou?" Xiaolan asked, "Are they still there?"

   "It's all gone," said the fool, "but the luggage is still there, and there's no sign of packing up and leaving in the room."

  Iyao also heard the content of the call, and his expression became serious.

   "First of all, based on their strength, they shouldn't have been kidnapped," Yi Yao said, "Maybe it was voluntary."

   "But if they really plan to go somewhere, they won't let us know." Xiaolan said.

   "Xiao Lan, who is next to you?" the fool asked cautiously.

   "Oh, it's Uncle Yi," Xiaolan said, "I've been staying with Uncle Yi the whole time."

   "What's the situation on your side?" the fool asked.

   "If you are in danger, come back quickly!" Qin Yin shouted loudly, "If you lose it too, I will... I will die! Ah!... Daoist Master!..."

  The collapsed Qin Yin was dragged aside. The sighed fool and Baomu returned to the phone. The fool said, "Xiaolan, you must pay attention to safety."

   "Mmmm," Xiaolan said in a heavy voice, "Brother fool, the situation on my side...is more complicated, I can't tell you for a while, I'll tell you later."

   "Also," said the fool, "can you come back at night?"

   "No," Xiaolan asked obediently, "Can I spend the night outside?"

   I feel like a junior high school student who wants to stay overnight but needs to ask his parents for leave.

   "Nothing will happen, right?" Baomu said.

   "I will take good care of myself," Xiaolan said, "Grandpa Qiao's situation is about to stabilize, and I will go to you when things are over here."

  The phone hung up, but the people on both sides of the phone fell into the same melancholy.

   "What the **** is going on?" Yi Yao said, "And it sounds like... the rest of the Nine Sect didn't get here either."

  Xiaolan shrugged weakly, "Obviously."

   "Strange, there is definitely something wrong," Yi Yao looked at his phone, "but I didn't receive any news."

   "I'm worried..." Xiaolan wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. She lowered her shoulders and said with some frustration, "Uncle Yi, you said... We shouldn't have entered a trap, right?"
