Fairy, why bother with me? I am really a yellow-haired villain.

"Hey, look at this kid, what a jerk! He didn't even apologize when he got hurt."

Mu Jixue didn't say anything, but Xiao Yang was so indignant that he complained.

"I want to apologize on behalf of this child. He is a naughty kid and doesn't like meeting strangers."

When Mayor Wu saw this, he quickly apologized, being extremely tactful and making it impossible for anyone to find fault with him.

"It's okay, just a small matter."

Mu Jixue waved her hand to show that she didn't care.

Yun Zhonghe looked at the child, then went into the inn with everyone else.

This inn is called Xianghe Inn.

Seeing Mayor Wu, the innkeeper came over and helped everyone check in.

After booking the room, Mayor Wu said goodbye to everyone and said that if they had any questions, they could come to the mayor's residence to find him.

The group went upstairs and did not go to their own rooms first, but gathered in Yun Zhonghe's guest room.

Everyone sat down in the guest room.

Song Ziwei took out a soundproofing talisman and injected spiritual power into it. Then a soundproofing barrier unfolded, covering the entire room.

This barrier prevents outsiders from hearing conversations in the room.

After completing these arrangements, Song Ziwei also sat down.

"Tell me, what do you think of Qingzhu Town? I always feel like something is wrong."

Yun Zhonghe raised his head and looked at everyone.

Chapter 61: Strange Town

"Brother Yun, I also feel that there is something wrong with this Qingzhu Town."

The first person to speak was Lin Zhongyu. She was always good at observing people's words and expressions, and her intuition was equally sharp, so she caught some clues.

"Isn't the disappearance incident a major uproar? Why do the people in town seem unaffected at all? I just saw someone performing acrobatics in the street. It was quite lively, and there wasn't a hint of panic at all."

Lin Zhongyu accurately pointed out the weirdness of the small town beneath its prosperity.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Yun Zhonghe again, like a student waiting for his teacher to give him a grade.

When she saw Yun Zhonghe nodding in approval and praise, she couldn't help but show a look of surprise on her face.

I got praise from Brother Yun!

I was cheering in my heart, as if I had got a little flower.

"Yeah, wasn't it reported to the Immortal Alliance because the disappearance incidents were getting bigger and bigger? And why is there no news from the last group of cultivators who came here? If Qingzhu Town is really so stable and peaceful, they shouldn't have no news at all?"

Miss Luo Qing also put forward her own views.

As a casual cultivator, she has completed many missions and has rich experience, but she is naturally inferior and timid. In fact, her strength is not bad.

But this time, because of the presence of Yun Zhonghe, an elder brother who is particularly good at taking care of others, Miss Luo Qing also mustered up the courage to express her opinions.

Yun Zhonghe also nodded, agreeing with Miss Luo Qing's idea. The latter breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face, and she was greatly encouraged.

Song Ziwei thought for a moment and looked at Yun Zhonghe: "Brother Yun, have you noticed anything wrong? Just now, when Mayor Wu invited us to stay at the mayor's mansion, you suddenly interrupted and didn't let us go. Is there something wrong with this Mayor Wu?"

Yun Zhonghe couldn't say whether there was a problem or not. He did feel that there was something fishy, ​​but there was not enough evidence at the moment, so he could only say that there were a few clues.

Yun Zhonghe said, "I've been observing Mayor Wu. When he heard me say we weren't going to the mansion, his expression turned grim. I'm afraid he came prepared. I boldly speculate that there's something fishy about Mayor Wu. The mayor's mansion is probably a dangerous den. The last group of cultivators haven't been heard from since, and that's probably how they got there."

Yun Zhonghe paused, then continued, "And there's something wrong with this town. I've noticed that the people in this town behave very rigidly."

"What do you mean? I think the people in this town have no problems except for their strange attitudes."

Xiao Yang couldn't help but ask curiously.

Yun Zhonghe stood up, motioned for everyone to follow him, and moved to the window.

He gently opened the window a crack and said, "Come and take a look."

Looking down from here, you can just see the children playing in the alley.

The kid who had just hit Mu Jixue with the ball was also among the group of kids playing with the ball.

"Isn't this the rude kid just now?"

Xiao Yue saw it and recognized it at a glance.

Yun Zhonghe didn't say much. He put his two fingers together, concentrated his spiritual power at his fingertips, and a tiny sword energy burst out from his fingertips.

This was the first time that everyone witnessed Yun Zhonghe's Qi refining and sword-making at close range, and they couldn't help but marvel inwardly, but at the same time they were also curious about what Yun Zhonghe was going to do.

Yun Zhonghe's sword energy lightly brushed the edge of the ball, without scratching it, but it bounced it away.

The ball rolled to the ground not far away.

"hiss……"

"Brother Yun, you have excellent swordsmanship. How did you manage to let your sword energy touch the ball without damaging it at all?"

"Not only has he mastered the technique of refining Qi into a sword in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but he can also control it to such a delicate degree. I am impressed."

As a disciple of the Tianjian Sect, which specializes in swordsmanship, Song Ziwei had never seen a genius like Yun Zhonghe.

She had heard about Yun Zhonghe before in Cangzhou City and thought it was just an exaggeration. However, after seeing it with her own eyes,

Yun Zhonghe: “…”

No, I'm not showing off my skills to you. Can you please not just focus on my techniques?

Maybe this is the occupational disease of cultivators.

Yun Zhonghe pointed at the group of children helplessly, asking them to pay attention to the key points.

The group of children were unaware and were still playing with the ball.

It's just that they are beating it now.

"What's going on here?!"

Xiao Yue shuddered and her face turned pale.

The strange scene before them made everyone's hair stand on end.

Luo Qing, who had the lowest presence, suddenly spoke up: "They're puppets! These people have become puppets!"

Yun Zhonghe didn't expect that someone knew this, and then looked over with an encouraging look.

Luo Qing suddenly became the center of everyone's attention. She felt a little uncomfortable, but still mustered up the courage to speak.

"I've seen people like this before." Luo Qing seemed lost in memory. "My hometown village was like this. Overnight, everyone turned into puppets."

"That year, I was only six years old. I ran away to the mountains out of play and escaped death. But when I returned to the village, I realized something was wrong. Why were people still harvesting rice in the fields so late at night? I was so scared that I ran away."

"Later, I saw many cultivators heading towards the village from afar. They told me that there were evil cultivators causing trouble. They had turned all the villagers into puppets. They were already the living dead and there was no way to save them."

"Later, a kind-hearted monk gave me a set of skills and some money, and I have been practicing on my own until now."

As Luo Qing spoke, he couldn't help but tremble.

Obviously, what happened at that time left a big shadow on her.

Luo Qing added, "People who become puppets have a characteristic: their pupils are particularly dark and lifeless, and they will repeat the same movements when no one is controlling them."

Yun Zhonghe looked thoughtful. "That's right, everyone in this town has become a puppet! When I first entered the town, I heard the vegetable seller and buyer haggle four times, each time for the same price. And a child playing at play tripped over the same spot five times."

“Everyone’s behavior is repetitive, and it may not be obvious when put together, but if you look closely, you will find something wrong.

! ”

"But Mayor Wu is different. He's no different from an ordinary person. Either he's an evil cultivator, or he's being controlled by an evil cultivator, or he's an accomplice to the evil. No matter how you look at it, he's not innocent."

After some research and analysis, it seemed that the strange atmosphere shrouding the town was gradually dispelling the fog, and everyone's hearts were slightly hanging in the air, no longer as cheerful as when they just came here.

They also realize the seriousness of the problem.

Seeing this scene, Yun Zhonghe felt that the plot was developing in a good direction.

Although the original story did not mention the details, it did mention that the team fell into a trap as soon as they entered the town, and by the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Afterwards, everyone fled to the dungeon and found clues about the previous team. Everyone was dead and only Qin Hongye, who was accidentally involved, was left.

Everyone fought desperately, but in the end they were no match for the evil cultivator, and only two people escaped.

The current situation is much better than in the plot.

Chapter 62: Of course the yellow-haired man understands Aotian better than the heroine

When they discovered something was wrong in the town, everyone's alert level was immediately raised to the maximum.

Although they are all young, they are all outstanding at this age and each of them has their own advantages over their peers.

As long as you remain vigilant enough, you won't fall into ordinary traps easily.

Yun Zhonghe also mentioned a few points of perseverance, and urged everyone not to act alone for the time being, to stay in the inn, and not to touch the food and water in the town.

Yun Zhonghe was well prepared. He divided the food and water in his Qiankun bag.

Since Luo Qing was a casual cultivator, he was used to carrying dry food and clean water with him, so he also took out his own reserves.

Song Ziwei had a bottle of fasting pills, one pill could last for seven days without the need for food or water. She gave one pill to each person.

Although everyone didn't know each other before, they were unexpectedly united at this time.

Lin Zhongyu felt that all of this was due to Yun Zhonghe's constant efforts to bring everyone together and create this good atmosphere of mutual help.

There was something different in the way she looked at Yun Zhonghe.

From beginning to end, Mu Jixue did not speak, she looked a little dazed.

"Xue'er, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Zhongyu noticed Mu Jixue's depressed mood and couldn't help but ask her worriedly.

Mu Jixue looked extremely embarrassed, wanting to speak but stopping herself. However, she finally spoke to Lin Zhongyu in a voice that only she could hear: "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry... It's all my fault for forcing you to come here..."

She felt a little regretful. She didn't expect this mission to be so dangerous. If she hadn't dragged Lin Zhongyu away from Yun Mansion, they wouldn't have run into this dangerous place.

Moreover, at the critical moment, she was of no use at all.

Yun Zhonghe not only unites the team members, but also uncovers the strange truth of the town and distributes various supplies to his teammates.

Everyone else was also contributing their own light and warmth to a certain extent, but Mu Jixue seemed to be completely useless and couldn't even get a word in.

Moreover, she was the one who was hit by the ball, but she did not notice any details about the child's problem. It was Yun Zhonghe who discovered the clue.

In her mind, in an action like this, she should be the one leading the team out of the siege and be the core figure of the team.

But now he is just a marginal character.

Such a gap made her feel a little overwhelmed, and she even felt that she was actually nothing special.

Am I too arrogant? Because I have such great talent, I think everything I do is okay, and I'm always right...

This time, although Yun Zhonghe took away her leading role, she did not feel any resistance at all.

She was conquered by Yun Zhonghe's actions.

Mu Jixue, who had always lived in the praise of others, began to examine herself for the first time.

"Xue'er, don't think too much. We are a team and everyone is important."

Lin Zhongyu comforted her, saying that she was childhood sweetheart after all, and he must be very worried when he saw Mu Jixue's depressed look.

However, Yun Zhonghe also saw the interaction between them.

Although the two men thought they were being very secretive, they still underestimated Yun Zhonghe's telepathy.

He also intended to cultivate Huang Aotian's character and make her aware of her shortcomings.

In the original game, Huang Aotian was not perfect at the beginning. She also had shortcomings and deficiencies, but after experiencing some major setbacks, she gradually grew up and became a true empress.

If he could guide Huang Aotian and help her avoid some detours, not only could he avoid some bad endings in the game, but he could also make Huang Aotian change her opinion of him and earn some points in her impression.

Maybe things will get better for both of them over time.

This indirect teaching by words and deeds was also intentional by Yun Zhonghe.
