But ask the people

Chapter 3 Sword Formation

A woman in a red dress came downstairs with a few servants, found a pleasing space to stand still, turned around and looked at the shopkeeper.

The senior brother wanted to refute, but when he saw the token on her waist, his face was a bit surprised, and he said, "It's Jinping Xue's family."

The Xue family, one of the four great clans, is a famous lineage in the world of cultivating immortals.

The head didn't seem to have heard of this, but his expression darkened.

Seeing that someone recognized her, the woman in red raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "I didn't expect there to be Qiong Yi sect's disciples here, it's a surprise."

The senior brother clasped his fists in salute, and then explained: "A few days ago, we went to explore the nearby ruins. The Changzhou Mountain Sword Trial was approaching, so we had no time to go back to the sect, so we had to take this road."

The woman in red nodded and said with a smile: "It just so happens that the place I'm on is also Changzhou Mountain."

Then she took the initiative to introduce herself: "I am Xue Mei from Jinping's family,"

People of the family!

The disciples of the Qiongyi sect were all shocked, the members of the four clans were all the sons of Tianjiao, with outstanding talents, no wonder they were able to say such words just now.

"Presumably Senior Sister Xue is here to assist in the sword test."

He said these words because the four families have participated in and held various general elections all year round. The clan rules do not accept outsiders, but there are some exceptions. For those geniuses who turn out to be born, if they cannot be included in the clan, they can also become acquainted friends .

Then he also introduced with a smile: "I am Zhang Yunbie, a disciple of Elder Chu Qing of the Qiongyi School."

No wonder he can call Senior Sister Xue Mei.

Clan Ling Ran is one of the sects, and he doesn't like to be confused by relatives, but Elder Chu is the daughter of the Xue family. With such a relationship, it is not an exaggeration to call Senior Sister.

And Xue Mei was also happy to respond to this senior sister.

They communicated for a long time, but Jiang Yi was a little absent-minded. She was wondering if she could shake the imprisonment of the giant sword with her own strength.

But soon Xue Mei noticed her, and asked, "I don't know where this fellow Taoist came from?"

As a member of the Four Families, Xue Mei naturally has magic objects on her body that can detect her aura, and it is only natural to notice her.

Jiang Yi noticed that when Xue Mei finished speaking, many eyes fell on her again, Jiang Yi didn't panic at all, and calmly said: "Jiang Yi."

Xue Mei saw that she was not flustered like ordinary people, and she did not show any flattery, so she glanced at her approvingly, and said nothing.

At this moment, Zhang Yunbie spoke again and asked Xue Mei: "Just now senior sister mentioned that this weird formation is..."

"It's a tampered evil formation."

Xue Mei looked serious, her brows were tightly frowned, she seemed a little troublesome, she said: "I'm not proficient in formations, maybe I need other members of my family to investigate."

She wanted to say something, but suddenly there was a sharp roar around the inn, the gate of the inn was hit by waves of frenzied sword energy, everyone's sabers involuntarily separated from themselves, and flew towards the same direction outside the inn.

As for Xue Mei, Zhang Yunbie and others all had painful expressions on their faces.

It is the evil swords that resonate with their accessories, turning back on the sword bearer.

Especially Xue Mei, her sword is full of spiritual breath, like a spiritual breath sword, so it is even more tormenting.

As for the other ordinary people, they have already fainted and turned into a ball.

Jiang Yi also felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't hold any accessories, but the spiritual breath in her body repelled the evil sword energy, as if there was a force pulling her spiritual consciousness crazily.

Within a moment, the lobby was in chaos.

The master took a few deep breaths, then calmed down, and said to all the guests who were still awake: "Take them back to the room to rest first."

He was supporting the cabinet with his hands, obviously struggling.

Xue Mei wanted to say something, but at this time she was so exhausted that she almost passed out, and finally returned to the room little by little with the help of the servant.

The disciples of Qiongyimen also helped each other back.

Jiang Yi guessed that everyone's spiritual breath was exhausted at that moment.

Seeing that everyone was helping each other, Jiang Yi didn't know what to do for a while, until her eyes fell on the woman in Tsing Yi at the beginning, she was holding her heart weakly, leaning on the chair slightly panting.

Seeing that there was no one around her, Jiang Yi was about to go to help her, but a voice sounded beside her.

"This fellow Taoist, can you give me a hand?"

Jiang Yi looked down and saw that it was a man in coir raincoat. She didn't think much about it, and stretched out her hand to pull him up according to the arrangement just now.

The shopkeeper also seemed to have noticed the woman, and stepped forward to express concern.

The woman in the green shirt gave a small smile, thanked him softly, and walked towards the room with his support.

She left the hall for the last time, and she glanced at the giant sword outside the window.

The man in coir raincoat from Jiang Yi's gang saw that almost everyone had disappeared, so he whispered to Jiang Yi, "Did you find out?"

Jiang Yi didn't react, and asked, "...what?"

"The iron sword in the center." He looked a little nervous when he answered, as if he had some secret to say.

Jiang Yi agrees: "Yes."

But the man let out a voice: "Huh?"

He was surprised by Jiang Yi's reaction.

But Jiang Yi gave him a strange look, so he had no choice but to sigh and chat with her on another topic.

"Just now you saw how many swords flew out."

"Thirteen."

He was a little surprised: "I thought no one would pay attention! You... have really good eyes."

Jiang Yi didn't speak anymore, he was a little bit unwilling, and stopped being a fool, and said, "My name is Hu Qing, and I come from Jingzhou. Half a month ago, a knight from our gang came back in despair."

……

Jingzhou, half a month ago.

Hu Qing was drinking and gambling with others when a man in rags broke in.

"Hui Jing?" Hu Qing recognized him, it was Lu Hui Jing, a cultivator in the gang.

Lu Huijing didn't answer him, but kept repeating a sentence: "I lost my sword."

And the place he went to was Wu'an.

……

Jiang Yi seemed to understand that what happened tonight was not the first time. After she expressed this point of view, she got Hu Qing's approval.

"Exactly!" Hu Qing said hastily: "But Mr. Lu Huijing said that for those who practice swordsmanship, losing their swords is like losing their wives, and those who lose their swords are regarded as people who 'do not cherish and love swords'." , will be looked down upon by others, even if the sword is really lost, no one will talk about it everywhere, most of them always use 'broken' as an excuse."

Hu Qing went on to say: "And after Lu Huijing came back, he never practiced again."

Most of the people in the Jianghu enjoy themselves in the rivers and lakes. Compared with the one-in-a-million spiritual veins and opportunities to cultivate immortals, they prefer martial arts. Another reason is that not everyone in the Central Plains can enter the world of cultivating immortals. They cannot practice, accounting for more reason.

And Lu Huijing is already a "wizard" in their eyes.

Immortal cultivators seek to become immortals all their lives, and cultivating the Tao is an instinct, so how could they not even cultivate the Tao?

Unless, he lost his instinct.

Jiang Yi was thinking, why did the shopkeeper tell a lie.

Wu'an, there is indeed a problem.
