Please give me a chance to be a straight man

When Shen Xu heard this, his expression became serious.

Qi Xiu glanced at the two, took out a jade slip from his cuff and handed it to them.

Jiang Xun took it and read the contents with Shen Xu.The content on the jade slip roughly said that in a city called Yongle City under the jurisdiction of Luoyunzong, there have been several cases of common people suddenly turning into dry bones and dying strangely in the blue sky recently.Luoyunzong guessed that it might be the work of Moxiu, and sent several disciples to investigate, but they couldn't find any clues, so they had to ask Tianxuanzong to help.

After Jiang Xun finished reading the contents of the jade slips, he raised his head to look at Qi Xiu, "What's the master master's plan?"

"The area under the jurisdiction of the Luoyun Sect has been peaceful and peaceful for more than ten years. It is bound to be unusual for something to happen this time. Nephew Jiang, you may as well take Xiaoyou Shen and Nephew Ye to take a look. If you find the whereabouts of Moxiu, you must arrest him." Capture him alive, and bring him back to the sect for careful interrogation."

After Jiang Xun took the order, he and Shen Xu went back to pack their bags.On the way, Shen Xu kept his facial expression tangled, as if thinking of something uncomfortable.Jiang Xun suddenly stopped and looked at him, Shen Xu was taken aback, "What's wrong?"

"You have something on your mind."

Shen Xu didn't expect Jiang Xun to have such a sharp eye, so he looked around and saw that there was no one around, then he leaned into Jiang Xun's ear and whispered, "Your suzerain, is that the one?" Jiang Xun looked at him suspiciously. he.

"It's the broken sleeve!" Shen Xu whispered.

Jiang Xun frowned slightly, and replied, "The master master has never been so good."

"Then why did he look at me so numbly just now?"

Jiang Xun was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then recalled the scene in the meeting hall just now, and suddenly found that Qi Xiu looked at Shen Xu with a different look from others, it was a kind of tender and nostalgic look.

Jiang Xun was really silent now, and it took a while before he said, "I will try to see my uncle as little as possible in the future."

When Shen Xu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and when he returned to Shenjiang Xun, he had disappeared.

Ye Chen was naturally very excited to hear that he could go on missions with Jiang Xun again, but when he saw Shen Xu standing next to him, his face drooped immediately.

"Hey, hey, Ye Chen, what's your attitude, do you feel so upset when you see me?"

Ye Chen didn't bother to pay attention to him, walked quickly to the other side of Jiang Xun, raised his head and asked, "Brother, where are we going this time?"

"Falling Cloud Sect, Yongle City."

Luoyunzong is located in the southernmost part of Tianxuanzong, and the fastest way to get there is naturally through the teleportation array, but it takes a lot of spiritual power to activate the teleportation array to operate, and there are very few things happening on the Luoyunzong side, and I don't know if there is one. They did not maintain the spiritual power of the magic circle constantly, so the last three decided to fly with their swords and go to Luoyunzong.

If you want to fly with the sword, you need to be above Jindan.Although Ye Chen's cultivation base has improved a little recently, he is still in the embarrassing state of foundation establishment.Therefore, he can only choose to ride with Jiang Xun or Shen Xu.Jiang Xun was obsessed with cleanliness, so naturally he couldn't be considered as a candidate.But to ride the same sword with Shen Xu...

Feeling Ye Chen's gaze, Shen Xu grinned like a villain, raised his hand and patted the air behind his buttocks, "Come up, little brother."

Ye Chen had no choice but to sulk, and bit the bullet to use Shen Xu's flying sword.

The three of them flew with their swords and arrived at Luoyunzong in four days.

The head of the Luoyun Sect was a benevolent old man. When he heard that Jiang Xun and others had arrived, he quickly summoned all the senior members of the sect to line up at the gate to greet him.

It was the first time for Shen Xu to receive this kind of treatment, and while he was enjoying it, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl rushed out of nowhere, calling Jiang Xun's brother, and ran towards Jiang Xun.

This little girl has almond-shaped eyes, red nose, red lips and white teeth, and her eyebrows are very iconic. In a few years, she will definitely become a great beauty.Unexpectedly, Jiang Xun saw that the girl's expression didn't change at all, he raised his hand and waved a wave of spiritual power, blocking her in place.

The little girl did not expect that she would be so unpopular with Jiang Xun, she stomped her feet a few times as if venting her anger, then turned her head and ran behind the head of Luoyun Sect. "Master, brother Jiang Xun is bullying!"

Sect Master An scolded softly when he heard the words, "Luoer, Hugh is so rude, Martial Nephew Jiang is the first disciple of Tianxuan Sect, can you call him by his name directly!"

An Luoer still wanted to argue, but seeing that Sect Master An's expression was indeed displeased, he lowered his head and whispered, "Master, Luoer knew he was wrong."

Shen Xu couldn't see the beautiful woman's pitiful look the most, and was about to speak out to persuade her, but unexpectedly, Ye Chen saw through her thoughts, and ended up glaring at her.

Shen Xu hurriedly pretended to look at the scenery.

Sect Master An reprimanded An Luoer for being honest, and then turned to Jiang Xun and said, "My apprentice is still young, and I have offended you a lot. Please forgive me, Senior Nephew Jiang."

Jiang Xun didn't say that he didn't forgive, and went straight to the topic, "Sect Master An, where is the corpse?"

Sect Master An patted his forehead as if suddenly awakened, and blamed himself, "Look at my memory, I have forgotten the business. Nephew Jiang, and the two nephews next to me, please come with me."

Zongzhu An led Shen Xu and the others to a yizhuang on the outskirts of Yongle City. The location is remote and there is no sunlight all year round. As soon as Shen Xu entered, he felt a gust of wind.Fortunately, he has a good cultivation base, but he doesn't feel anything.Ye Chen beside him couldn't help shivering.

Sect Master An pointed to the six corpses placed in the corner, and said, "The dead are all here."

Jiang Xun, Shen Xu and the others took a closer look, and couldn't help but their faces darkened, "How come two of the six are disciples of Fufengmen?"

Zongzhu An was about to explain with a bitter old face, when suddenly three people rushed in aggressively from outside Yizhuang.Shen Xu looked at their clothes, they should all be from the Fufengmen.

The leader of the three was an old man, and when he looked over Jiang Xun and the others and landed on the two disciples of the Fufeng Sect, his eyes turned red for an instant. "Lin'er, Zhiheng!" The old man walked quickly to the two corpses and found that they had turned into two dry bones. He immediately turned around and rushed towards Sect Master An, grabbed the collar of Sect Master An, and stared at his scarlet eyes. Gritting his teeth, he said, "An Yuan, tell me, did you kill Lin'er and Zhiheng! Tell me!"

Sect Master An blushed, brushed away the old man's hand, lowered his head and coughed for a while before explaining, "Elder Zhang, I think you really misunderstood. It's going to kill people."

The old man's expression didn't improve at all, and he asked Sect Master An, "But my two disciples died in your sect's area, do you dare to say that your Luoyun Sect knew nothing about it?!"

Sect Master An's expression was very wronged when he heard the words, "Elder Zhang, my sect only learned of the death of the two nephews a few days ago, so we immediately notified Tian Xuanzong and you Fufengmen. But you are slandering here, could it be that I An Yuan Is it in your heart that you are a villain who disregards the life and death of his fellows for the benefit of the sect?!"

Elder Zhang didn't speak for a while after hearing the words, but judging by his expression, he still didn't believe Sect Master An's appearance.

Seeing this, Ye Chen also wanted to defend Sect Master An, but was stopped by Shen Xu.

Ye Chen looked at Shen Xu puzzled, and Shen Xu signaled him to be calm, then saluted Elder Zhang, and then asked, "Shen Xu, junior, I would like to ask Senior Zhang a few questions."

Seeing that Shen Xu and Jiang Xun were together, Elder Zhang couldn't get angry anymore, coughed lightly, and said, "You can ask."

"The junior just heard that Sect Master An mentioned that the Luoyun Sect and your Fufeng Sect often have conflicts. May I ask why?"

Elder Zhang looked awkward for a while, not knowing how to answer.Seeing this, Ye Chen snorted coldly, "What else could be the reason? The uneven distribution of resources. It is said that there is a Lingshi mine at the junction of Luoyunzong and Fufengmen, but the spiritstones collected in this mine are within the area of ​​​​the two sects. The quality is different. The quality of the spirit stones collected by the Luoyun Sect is far better than that of the Fufeng Sect, so the two sects often have conflicts because of this matter."

Shen Xu nodded clearly, and then asked, "I'll ask Elder Zhang again, why did your two disciples appear in the Luoyun Sect?"

Elder Zhang's anger had just subsided, but when he heard Shen Xu's words, he suddenly became angry again, and raised his hand to point at Sovereign An, "Ask his good apprentice An Luoer, what kind of magic did that girl use to get both of us together?" This apprentice is so fascinated that he will run here every day!"

Sect Master An also became angry when he heard the words, "Zhang Haishan, you still have the nerve to mention this matter. It is obvious that your apprentice came to our sect to harass my apprentice. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have made you turn black and white! "

Seeing that the two old men were about to fight, Shen Xu hurriedly stopped him loudly, "Please be quiet, seniors. The most important thing right now is to investigate the cause of death of the two fellow Taoists and the other four people. After the truth is found out, seniors It’s not too late for us to resolve our personal grievances.”

Both Zongzhu An and Elder Zhang felt that Shen Xu's words made sense, so they decided to temporarily suspend the flag.

Shen Xu finally sent away the two old men and the other two Fufengmen disciples on the grounds that he wanted to investigate quietly.After returning to Yizhuang, he saw that Jiang Xun and Ye Chen were still studying the six corpses, so he stepped forward and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Ye Chen handed Shen Xu a transparent shell similar to the shed of an insect.

"what is this?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the shell that the Soul Devouring Gu shed."

Shen Xu always felt that he had heard this name somewhere, but he just couldn't remember it.Ye Chen rolled his eyes at him and explained, "This is a kind of Gu worm raised by the demon cultivator. It feeds on human essence and blood. If an ordinary person is bitten by it, it will turn into a dry bone in less than a moment." .”

"What if the monk is bitten?"

"That depends on the level of cultivation. A monk with a high level of cultivation will naturally have no serious problems. Those with a low level of cultivation should end up in the same fate as the two disciples of Fufengmen."
