Chapter 81 Night Exploration of Hong'an Street
The wind is a bit strong tonight.
The mirage was blown everywhere.
"Manager Xu, the last few times we went in, we just walked in and didn't go inside to check. This time, Uncle Linchun said we could check all the stores one by one."
If that's the case, it will definitely be very time-consuming.
And I guess I can’t check many rooms in one night.
Xu Qiuqian nodded.
She also felt that it was right to check each store one by one.
Because they don't know where the source of the mirage comes from, it could be anywhere, so a careful investigation is necessary.
"Do you have any way to tell the difference?"
"The thicker the mirage, the closer it is to its source. It's just that we didn't persist the first few times, so the store ahead shouldn't be the source of the mirage."
Xu Qiuqian hummed, "Let's check everything just in case."
"That's what I thought."
As they were talking, the two entered the first store.
Dust was blowing in my face.
Fortunately, several people held their breath and tried not to inhale the mirage, so they were not choked by the dust.
The first store was much larger than Xu Qiuqian’s grocery store, almost three times the size.
Xu Qiuqian couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Her current shop is too small, but it will no longer be able to accommodate more customers.
If more people come to the store, there will be no room for them to stand! No, the store cannot become an obstacle to her selling goods! Expanding the store must be put on the agenda.
Xu Qiuqian came back to his senses and looked around.
The floor, tables and chairs were all dusty, the shelves were also covered in dust, and there were even cobwebs. Walking inside, the backyard was the same, but this store did not have a second floor in the backyard.
After taking a look inside and seeing nothing unusual, everyone left.
Less than a quarter of an hour after entering, a disciple from Wen Ji Zong expressed that he was a little confused.
Fortunately, I was well prepared, and after taking a heart-clearing pill, the chaos gradually faded away.
Next came the second and third.
As expected, nothing unusual was found.
When checking the seventh family on the left, even the Qingxin Pill was useless. The Three Soul Bell could only keep a person awake for about half a quarter of an hour at most. Moreover, once the mind fell into confusion, even if it woke up, there would be sequelae.
The specific manifestation is that I always feel that I have seen something strange.
Xu Qiuqian asked them to describe it, but these disciples couldn't.
Staying any longer would probably affect your cultivation.
"Let them go out first." Xu Qiuqian suggested.
Yin Shican nodded and asked the other disciples to leave Hong'an Street. He even gave them the Three Soul Bell out of concern.
"What about you?" Xu Qiuqian asked Yin Shichan, "How do you feel now?"
"I'm fine."
"Don't be so stubborn."
So far, this mirage has indeed no effect on her.
However, she didn't know if it was because her spiritual veins had gradually recovered. After the mirage energy seeped in, her emotions became a little anxious, but fortunately she could control it.
Yin Shican nodded: "I'm fine, Manager Xu, don't worry about me."
Then, she said with a look of shame: "I originally asked Ji Zong for his promise, but I didn't expect that I would have to trouble Manager Xu in the end."
"It's okay. I was curious anyway."
As they were talking, the two of them finished exploring another shop.
There are more than a hundred shops of all sizes on the entire Hong'an Street, with fifty shops on each side.
When they arrived at the ninth shop, Xu Qiuqian noticed that there was something wrong with Yin Shican's expression.
"you……"
Just when I was about to ask Yin Shican to go back, I suddenly heard a "crash".
The two of them immediately looked in the direction of the voice.
For some reason the shelves in this store suddenly collapsed.
Xu Qiuqian walked over.
After careful observation, they found that it was just a coincidence. The shelves were old and shaky, and they just happened to fall down when they came in.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, let's go."
Yin Shican hummed softly.
After leaving the shop, Xu Qiuqian was about to let Yin Shican go back when a strong wind blew from behind.
Xu Qiuqian subconsciously turned his head to avoid it, then reached out and grabbed the other person's arm, bent down and used the force to push the man to the ground.
Yin Shican was thrown to the ground but didn't suffer much injury.
After being thrown like this, he became much more conscious.
"Are you unable to stay awake?" Xu Qiuqian pulled Yin Shican up and fed a powerful pill into her mouth with his other hand: "Let's go out first."
Yin Shican stood up with the help of force, but his eyes flashed with anxiety: "Manager Xu, I can't control myself, please leave quickly, don't worry about it..."
However, before he could finish his words, another hand rushed over with a clenched fist.
Xu Qiuqian had anticipated this and reached out to grab him, but Yin Shican had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, so his strength was naturally not comparable to that of a mortal like Xu Qiuqian. Fortunately, she had the foresight to take a first-grade strength pill just now, so even though Yin Shican was very strong, he was unable to break free from her grip.
She crossed her hands and held Yin Shilan's wrists, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Shilan, wake up!"
There was no light in Yin Shican's eyes. She looked at Xu Qiuqian calmly, but the strength she put in her hands to break free was growing stronger and stronger.
Seeing this, Xu Qiuqian no longer tried to wake Yin Shican.
He suddenly let go and Yin Shican rushed over again. Even though Xu Qiuqian was just a mortal, he was a general of the Interstellar Alliance in his previous life and had experienced many battles. He also took a powerful pill to make up for the difference in strength between them.
Therefore, instead of hurting her, Yin Shican was kicked to the ground by her again and again.
There were wounds on his body and even a broken bone, but Yin Shican still got up again and again and rushed towards her with an expressionless face.
Xu Qiuqian had an idea in mind, so he took out the spirit rope, clamped Yin Shican, and tied him up in no time.
Yin Shican was tied up but still struggling on the ground.
While the effect of the Dalidan had not yet worn off, Xu Qiuqian carried Yin Shican and ran out of Hong'an Street.
On Hong'an Street, the crowd who were anxiously waiting saw Xu Qiuqian running towards them.
"They're coming out!"
Master Linchun naturally saw it as well. He planned to wait for another half a quarter of an hour and go in if the two didn't come out.
However, when he saw that it was Xu Qiuqian carrying Yin Shican out, he was stunned.
He thought it would be Yin Shican who brought Xu Qiuqian out.
Even though Xu Qiuqian might have a powerful force behind her, she is just a mortal.
He asked Xu Qiuqian to come over at that time, and he valued Xu Qiuqian's identity as a mortal.
In his opinion, regardless of whether Yin Shican was affected by the mirage, the one who would suffer would be Xu Qiuqian.
I didn't expect the current situation to be the opposite!
As they exited Hong'an Street, everyone rushed over.
"Manager Xu, are you okay?"
"What happened to Senior Sister Yin?"
Xu Qiuqian briefly explained the situation and apologized: "I'm sorry, I have no choice. If I don't do this, I will be hurt by her."
Naturally, she omitted the part about experimenting with Yin Shican.
My heart is also full of regret.
"Manager Xu, don't worry about it. I understand."
Xu Qiuqian breathed a sigh of relief, then took out a bottle of recovery pill and handed it over.
"This is a fourth-grade recovery pill."
Master Linchun was surprised that Manager Xu's first move was of the fourth rank.
After taking the recovery pill, Xu Qiuqian turned around and walked away.
Everyone was surprised.
"Manager Xu, what are you going to do?"
