Sweet as candy

"Brother Xiao, you..." When we were alone, it took Xue Shiji a long time to find an appropriate word: "Reconciled?"

Xiao Lang hummed lightly, Xue Shiji retracted his neck, propping his head with one hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

For the time being, Xiao Lang doesn't know how to discuss his emotional problems with his friends, that's really strange.He coughed: "Let's talk about my private affairs next time. Let's talk about how you caught up with that man first?"

"He committed suicide by biting his tongue." Xue Shiji said, "But before he died, he said something very strange."

"Ok?"

"I am the only one in the sky and on the earth." Xue Shiji recalled: "It's so strange, why is he saying this so politely?"

In the sky and on the earth, I am the only one... Xiao Lang read it silently, and said seriously: "Since someone has set up an ambush above the summit, the soul-returning grass must have fallen into the hands of others. It is not too late, we have to seize the situation at the top figure out."

They should have gone straight to the Martial Arts League, but they got stuck because of Mu Yunyi's injury.Now that Song Shuyan is here to take care of her, she can rest assured.

Xiao Lang had already made a clear response to this feeling, and Mu Yunyi instantly became very talkative, knowing that Xiao Lang was going to deal with business, so he only said a word of caution in a low voice.

Xue Shiji almost couldn't bear to see his affectionate appearance: "You don't have to worry about it, I will protect Brother Xiao well."

Xiao Lang: "..."

He is obviously better in martial arts, so why is he the one to be protected in the eyes of these two people?

Even if the two become partners, he is not willing to be regarded as a weak person.Xiao Lang patted the sword on his waist, and said with a smile: "I think the two of you should protect yourself first, and if there is a situation, I will fight with Dichen myself."

Back in the Wulin League, Xiao Lang called out a team of members to go up the mountain to investigate.Keeping in mind the experience of the first round, they successfully avoided the mechanism, but when they reached the top of the mountain, except for a wooden house, all traces had been burned down.

Xiao Lang squatted on the bed, picked up some black ash left on the ground with his fingers, and sniffed it close to the tip of his nose.

Xue Shiji led the people around the house, and came back angrily, "They all retreated. The movement below must have alarmed them."

Xiao Lang showed him the black horizontal line on his finger: "It just burned down not long ago."

Xue Shiji's eyes widened: "So, there are really remnants..."

Xiao Lang nodded, stood up and said: "Before burning, they must have taken away the ones that can be used. Search carefully to see if there are any traces left by their medicine."

In the end, only some dried residues were found in an abandoned stone mill. Xiao Lang carefully wrapped them in a handkerchief and brought them back to the Wulin League.

As soon as Xiao Lang left, Mu Yunyi didn't think about staying in that house for long.Song Shuyan was sent back by him, he didn't even have time to catch his breath, and started to help Xiao Lang study the things in the residue without stopping.

Xiao Lang watched her roll up her sleeves and busy up and down in the pharmacy, and felt guilty from the depths of his heart: "You have worked hard during this period, and I will be free some other day, I invite you to drink with Shi Ji. "

Song Shuyan blushed, "Brother Xiao, what are you talking about with me?"

She worked hard for a long time, and finally sent back the remaining half of the dregs: "I looked up the previous records of Master, and the ** is not far from ten. This is the soul-returning grass."

Even though he had already guessed, Xiao Lang inevitably frowned.

Xiao Lang originally thought that Song Fengqing would stay in the Yang family for a long time, but he didn't expect him to come back surprisingly quickly.

"To my surprise, the current Patriarch of the Yang family is a straightforward person. Knowing that I am investigating the matter of returning the soul grass, he even took the initiative to cooperate."

Xiao Lang said: "His father's tragedy is inseparably related to the Hunhuicao, he probably knows its harm very well, and he doesn't want to let this thing leak out to harm others."

Song Fengqing sighed, and said: "At that time, only one doctor with the longest experience in the Yang family knew about Master Yang's consumption of soul-returning grass, but he was not very clear about the channel."

Xiao Lang said: "Speaking of which, there is one more thing. Shi Ji said that the man he chased that day left a strange sentence before biting his tongue and committing suicide."

"In heaven and earth, I am the only one."

"Master, where have you heard this sentence before?"

After Song Fengqing heard these words, his complexion sank immediately: "I am the only one in the sky and on the earth?"

"Yes." Xiao Lang said: "After he finished speaking, he committed suicide immediately. If he didn't want us to find clues, he shouldn't have said unnecessary words."

"That's because this sentence is the highest belief in their religion." Song Fengqing sighed: "When you said that the Huihuncao reappeared, I suspected that it might be related to the Wujiang God Sect, but I couldn't be sure. After so many years, do they still exist in the rivers and lakes?"

"Borderless God Sect?" Xiao Lang heard this name for the first time: "What kind of sect is this, why have I never heard of it?"

"It's been too many years for them to show their voices in the Jianghu." Song Fengqing said: "This sect has no disciples, only a bunch of obsessed idiots. They don't participate in sect disputes, but have always been obsessed with some inhuman research. To live forever, to have an invincible face, and to have an indestructible soul.”

"After the soul-returning grass was destroyed, this sect disappeared." He sighed, "I didn't think carefully. Since the soul-returning grass was burned, I will send people to check it every year. Seeing no sign of it being revived, I let go of my guard. I never thought that it would be used again by someone with a heart to revive the wind of the Boundless God Sect."

Xiao Lang said: "Didn't it mean that after taking the soul grass this time, the backlash was huge, didn't any of them notice something was wrong?"

Song Fengqing shook his head: "This group of people have used all kinds of methods in order to live forever, and they have already gone mad, how can they see clearly."

"Is there a leader for this Boundless Religion?"

"There should be, but I haven't found out who it is." Song Fengqing said: "The Wujiang God Cult only believes in the obsession in my heart, and usually does not have any religious activities, so it is extremely difficult to track."

"Then how do they get the soul-returning grass?" Xiao Lang asked suspiciously: "Since Master Yang can get it, there must be a channel to sell it."

"If you want to sell at a high price, you can only go through the black market." Song Fengqing said in a deep voice: "Send more people to pay close attention to the movements of the black market, especially those related to medicinal materials, let alone let them go."

After Xue Shiji learned about it, he volunteered to investigate.Now there are several important matters hanging in the martial arts league at the same time, Xiao Lang thought about it, and he was the only one who reassured him the most, so he agreed.

Unexpectedly, Xue Shiji would run back in disgrace and tell him: "Something is not quite right, Brother Xiao, I have been exposed."

The informant letter he released told him that the Wujiang God Religion seemed to have released news on the black market that a church would be held at the end of the month, and Xue Shiji was invited to check it out.Unexpectedly, he had just arrived halfway, but the informant had already fallen into an ambush. When he was close to death, the informant sacrificed himself to spread the news, preventing him from continuing on.

Xue Shiji clutched the blood-stained letter tightly in his hand, and he was so emotionally turbulent that he couldn't even speak clearly: "It took only one night for the other party to send me the letter to being assassinated. This is the first time that this informant was sent by the Wulin League to trade. , After inquiring about the news, I haven’t even received the instruction for the next step. He is still a new face, and logically speaking, he shouldn’t be exposed so quickly. I suspect, suspect that someone recognized him and leaked the news.”

Xiao Lang's eyebrows twitched fiercely, he held his hand, comforted him to sit down and said: "Are you not injured?"

"A few people chased after me, and I dealt with them." He looked down at the remaining blood on his palm: "It's just a pity for this little brother..."

"According to what you said, he must have been identified by someone." Xiao Lang let out a breath of cold air: "If this is the case, it will be terrible."

Xue Shiji looked up at him, and both of them pointed to a possibility at the same time - the inner ghost.

Only this answer can explain why an informant with such a clean background was discovered and murdered before any action was deployed.

If there is really an inner ghost, then their subsequent investigation will definitely be more difficult.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Lang said softly: "Shiji, you have been exposed once, you can't go to the meeting again."

"Can……"

"Listen to me." Xiao Lang couldn't help but push him down with one hand: "I'm going to do this operation myself."

"When I'm gone, you have to trust your instincts and don't trust anyone easily."
