Ning Yan held the chopsticks for a moment.
The so-called fellow disciples should be those who came to leave behind traces of the original owner.
Haven't left yet? Looking back on the circumstances along the way, they were not good people.
Ning Yan put down the bowl and chopsticks and raised his eyes to stare at the man.
If the other party noticed something, they would look back at each other.
"Can you...can you lend me some money?"
The original owner's trouser pockets were cleaner than her face, and there was not a penny in them.
Without cultivation, it is simply difficult to move forward.
The man laughed casually and threw a jade pendant.
"Blood."
Touching the jade pendant on the palm of her hand, Ning Yan recognized it as a storage device. In the memory of the original owner, she originally had one, but unfortunately it was snatched away by the sect on the way here.
The jade is smooth and warm, and it emits a faint white light. It is estimated that this storage device is of high grade.
Looking at the man again, Ning Yan bit his finger, blood dripped on the jade, and he instantly saw what was going on inside.
It is about the size of a playground, and the most eye-catching thing is that the center is filled with small mountains of sparkling spiritual stones. At a glance, they are at least of high quality.
In this world, spiritual stones are rare items because they can help with cultivation and are not perishable.
hiss! This, this is too embarrassing! No wonder he threw two top-quality spiritual stones casually.
Ning Yan's eyes changed when she looked at the man.
He lent her so many spiritual stones so easily. Aren't you afraid that she would run away with the money? ……
The town is close to the Pole, and it is winter all year round. In the afternoon, snowflakes are flying all over the sky, the earth is covered with snow, and even the branches on the roadside are covered with a thick layer of frost.
When the girl came out of the clothing store wearing a cloak, she had several bags in her hand.
Follow the memory into the alley.
"...I'm so annoyed. He's just a little beast. Why don't you let Elder Jin find someone to deal with it? I have to make a trip." A grumpy man's voice came from a certain direction.
Ning Yan paused, and after remembering who the owner of the voice was, he turned his toes and touched it quietly.
"Shh, senior brother, be careful, be careful not to be overheard by others..."
"What are you afraid of? There is no one here. You are the only one with many things to do."
"trouble!"
"..."
The girl held her breath and hid behind the corner. There were more than a dozen people in white clothes, with the iconic pattern reflected on their backs. They were the disciples of Xuanyu Sect, and they happened to be the same group of people who escorted the original owner.
Seeing the other party walking away, Ning Yan followed cautiously.
Not much information was revealed in the subsequent conversation. Basically, the irritable disciple complained about the poor development of the town, the lack of food and clothing to his liking, etc.
Finally, he followed the people to a courtyard. Ning Yan took note of this place and then returned to the inn.
The purple-eyed man was not in the room and had gone somewhere.
She put the clothes on the table and sat down to think.
The town is near the Northland, and cultivators have convenient transportation. It only took them five days to escort her from the sect to the Northland. Now three days have passed. How can this group of people talk about the trip back to the sect? I should have just arrived here.
Unless you have something to stop for!
Ning Yan poured himself a cup of hot tea. The irritable disciple he saw in the streets today was called Mu Zeqing, the second son of the Mu family. The Mu family was a powerful alchemy family, and his eldest brother Mu Zeying was Lan Yuyou. One of the harems.
Mu Zeqing is sinister and perverted. He once fell in love with the original owner's beauty. He was relatively patient at first. He often used dishonorable means to win the favor of the original owner.
For example, call people to surround the original owner, and then he comes out to rescue...
The original owner was not fooled, and later became angry and resented the original owner.
Because of his family status, Mu Zeqing's status in Xuanyu Sect is not low, and his temper is like that of a young master.
The environment in the North is harsh. As a young man, he should not have come here. He came here specifically to torture the original owner.
He carried out the execution in private. Ning Yan would be covered in blood when he traveled through time, and Mu Zeqing's contribution was indispensable.
Ning Yan frowned slightly at the thought.
You bitch, if you dare to do this to her, she will definitely find a chance to take down the tea cup, the girl got up and went out. The atmosphere of the group should not have dissipated yet. Let's see what Mu Zeqing did.
……
In the suburbs, the snow continued to fall, and large flakes of snow fell from the dim sky. The world was shrouded in a sea of white snow.
This place was deserted. Ning Yan stopped and she chased him all the way. Her breath stagnated at this point. She scanned around and found nothing special.
It was bare, not even a place to hide.
The girl frowned.
Recalling Mu Zeqing's conversation, he must have done something.
Ning Yan simply launched a mental exploration.
The surface conditions and energy fluctuations within a radius of one mile can be seen at a glance.
After a moment, she opened her eyes.
Peeling away the snow next to it, a pattern was revealed.
There was a formation where she stood, and this pattern was just one corner of it.
Ning Yan looked at the pattern and looked familiar, so he started to pull it out again, looking at the pattern at his feet, thinking crazily in his mind.
...The Demon Locking Formation!
As the name suggests, it is a formation that can trap spiritual beasts and monsters.
Walking to the center of the formation, there was a ball of white hair that had melted with the snow, about the size of a palm. The other side was covered with flesh and blood, like skin torn from some animal.
bait?
Tsk, no matter what the other party's purpose is, she doesn't want them to get what they want.
Ning Yan put Bai Mao back to where he was and turned around to destroy the formation.
It was overcast, and it got dark early in the town. She took out the photo stone she had just bought, picked a place to hide it, and then walked back another way, being careful to hide her traces.
Inn--
The girl shook off the snow on her body, crossed the threshold, and said as she passed the counter, "Store, boil me a bucket of water and send it to room No. [-]."
The shopkeeper remembered that she lived in the hotel with that very good-looking man, and nodded in agreement, "Okay, please wait a moment."
Ning Yan said thank you and turned around to go upstairs.
"Hey, wait a minute, objectively, um... the town is not peaceful recently, and accidents are easy to happen at night. I suggest you go out to play during the day and come back early."
Ning Yan turned on her toes and asked the store manager, "Thank you for reminding me. I just came here and I'm not familiar with it. Can you tell me what happened?"
The shopkeeper scratched his head with a confused expression, "Actually, I don't know. I just heard from neighbors that many young people have disappeared in the snow in the past two days, and no one can be found anywhere at home."
"Later, someone invited Master Qingyu Sect, who seemed to say that there was nothing wrong with the presence of monsters..."
"Anyway, we ordinary people had better be careful to avoid being captured by monsters."
The shopkeeper also reminded me kindly.
Ning Yan asked: "When did this start?"
"It seems like three days ago..."
Three days happened to be the day when Xuan Yu Sect threw her into the Trace of Oblivion.
Ning Yan's eyes flickered, she smiled and said thank you.
Back in the room, Ning Yan recalled the information he got this afternoon, the monsters, the monster locking formation, and Helianli's words...
It looks like a good show is about to begin in the town.
The purple-eyed man was still not in the room. Ning Yan didn't pay attention and took off her cloak. The cold air suddenly spread all over her body and she shivered.
[Su, host, will he come back? 】
The system, which had been offline for a long time, suddenly bubbled up, and its voice was tinged with slight tremors.
'Who? '
