SFS Chapter 373
Chapter 373
Yu Xi had just booked a room with a nice view and was planning to take a rest. Now that Zun Jin and the others had arrived, she simply invited them to her room.
Nan Lingjun had no objection.
Zun Jin immediately followed Yu Xi with the idea that it would be a waste not to take advantage of an opportunity.
Not to mention Xing Lan, her eyes are almost glued to Yu Xi. Of course, she goes wherever her master is.
Jizhi was originally happy that Zhong Xian and Su Xianyun were not around, so he could have his sister a little more. But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, a group of people suddenly appeared and pushed his sister away.
"Don't worry, Second Senior Brother." Gu An patted Ji Zhi's arm comfortingly and said soothingly: "It's just that Senior Sister was taken away now. You probably won't be able to touch Senior Sister later."
After saying that, he followed Yu Xi.
Jizhi:?
Why did he feel that these words didn't sound like comfort?
Seeing that his sister was about to disappear, his brain was overloaded and he had no time to think, so he decided to catch up with his sister first.
The room Yu Xi booked was quite spacious. As soon as she entered the room, she opened the window and leaned on the windowsill to look out. She could see towering mountains that were as high as the clouds and had no tops in sight, which almost occupied her entire vision in the distance.
And in the huge shadow, monks were constantly coming from the direction of Chongshan and flying towards other directions.
"What is this doing?"
Yu Xi looked at Gu An beside him and asked casually.
Gu An was checking the tables and chairs in the room. When he heard this, he was about to speak, but Zun Jin, who was already sitting at the table in front of the window and pouring himself some water, spoke first:
"Yu Xi, you don't know?"
This question also made Yu Xi stunned. The two looked at each other, and Yu Xi laughed out loud first: "Why should I know? I just got here."
"intuition?"
Zun Jin replied, gulped down a glass of water, and after drinking the cold water, she breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling that she was going to be alive again.
It was so hot and stuffy outside that I couldn't even drink a sip of water, and my throat was hoarse when I spoke.
I finally have a cool Xing Lan by my side, but it costs one or two taels of silver to touch her.
Even if she died of heat or thirst, she would never spend a single ounce of silver on Xing Lan!
Unless someone treats you.
Seeing Yu Xi still looking at her, she explained, "Just when I noticed something was wrong with the monks, you appeared here. I think it's too much of a coincidence."
She was well aware of the strength of Yu Xi and her brothers. If any problems arose at the Immortal Sect Conference, it wasn't necessarily caused by Yu Xi and the others, but they definitely had the ability to do it.
Xing Lan looked at Zun Jin coldly, thinking that the way Zun Jin and Yu Xi spoke was too rude.
Yu Xi didn't think there was anything wrong with Zun Jin's way of speaking. Hearing this, he just looked away, patted the chair beside him, and said to Ji Zhi, who was squatting at the door, looking at this side eagerly, like a puppy abandoned by someone:
"Brother, what are you doing squatting at the door? Come and sit down."
As he said this, he poured Jizhi a glass of water.
Jizhi originally thought that there was no place for him next to his sister, but now he was suddenly called over by his sister. He was immediately overjoyed and came over with a bright face. He sat on the chair next to his sister and happily held his sister on his lap.
The main point is that a fool has good luck.
There were outsiders present at the moment, so Gu An glanced at Ji Zhi but said nothing. He just stayed quietly where Yu Xi could see him.
Yu Xi then responded to Zun Jin's words:
"This is indeed a coincidence. I don't know what happened to the Immortal Sect. It seems like there was some kind of commotion."
Xing Lan frowned and suddenly said, "Nan Lingjun, didn't you go and ask?"
Nan Lingjun was sitting on a chair, taking a rest and eating two cookies from the storage ring. He was feeling that having a place to live was good. Then he remembered that he had something to do at this time and said hurriedly:
"Yes, yes, I know, I know!"
She swallowed the food in her mouth before saying:
"The cultivator I stopped said that the soul-binding thread of the Songshan Sect's Qingzheng Daojun was broken, and he should be dead. This person is also the disciple of Liuyun Xianzun, so he has a very important background.
"Qingzheng is gone, but no one knows where his body went. Qingzheng's sisters and brothers somehow learned that Qingzheng's body was horrible and that he was tortured by the demons. They sent people to capture the demons, punish the murderer, and recover Qingzheng's body."
She paused, pointing at the monks passing by outside the window, and said, "These monks are looking for Qingzheng's body and capturing the demons. Oh, and the demons seem to have burned down Yaoling Valley and Xiaoyao Valley. They're quite cruel."
When Yu Xi heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Sure enough, even if they took Qingzheng's body away, someone would tell Qingxin and the others about Qingzheng's miserable condition.
If they had come directly to Qingxin to rob him, not only would they not be able to get their second brother's soul back, but their brothers would also be in danger.
Just at this moment, Nan Lingjun suddenly realized something and looked at Yu Xi suspiciously.
Wait, aren’t Yu Xi and the others demons?
Seeing Nan Lingjun looking over, Yu Xi quickly waved her hands and said sincerely, "It has nothing to do with us. We haven't been to Xiaoyao Valley, really!"
Zun Jin was puzzled: "But since it was done by the demon clan, you are the young master of the demon clan, so you should know something about the situation, right?"
Yu Xi raised his hand, but his ears and tail were now hidden by the magic weapon, so he couldn't scratch them. He could only scratch his head and said in confusion:
"Maybe my mother did something. I haven't heard of the demons going to Xiaoyao Valley. It's also possible that the immortal sect staged it themselves and pretended to be us demons."
Zun Jin agreed with this statement: "This is something they can do."
Seeing that Zun Jin had nothing else to ask, Yu Xi couldn't help but care about the people who were rescued from Huanghui City, and asked, "Have you taken care of the children and patients who were rescued from Huanghui City before?"
Zun Jin nodded: "It's not easy, but everything has been settled."
Nan Lingjun couldn't help but glance at Zun Jin.
How can it be just difficult?
Before, she followed Zun Jin to the place where ordinary people lived, and found that except for the important cities under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Sect, which were relatively stable, in some towns and villages, nine out of ten houses were empty, and there was not a single living person to be seen.
The land was completely barren. Occasionally, people were seen in the village, but they were just trying to make a living by farming. However, the harvest was poor, and the dry land was so hard that it was hard to even step on.
It is said that the immortal sect used some method, and if the offering money was not enough, it would not rain.
But without rain there will be no crops, without crops there will be no food, without food there will be no money, and the final result will be that large numbers of people will starve to death and bones will be left everywhere.
However, the immortal monks recruited a lot of people to farm the land, and then sold the grain to those who had money to buy it.
Only in the villages close to the royal city, the immortal sect has not yet collected offerings too brazenly, and there is still some harvest. However, many people in the village are soldiers helping with farming, and ordinary people have a hard time.
