He's crazy
The big man slowly opened his lips and uttered three words, "Bai, Lin, Chuan."
Mo Xue was stunned.
When Bai Linchuan came out of the house, he saw Mo Xue and the big man facing each other with swords. Suddenly, the big man put down his sword, glared at him with his sinister triangular eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He opened his mouth silently and said something to Mo Xue.
He thought to himself that this was not good.
"Watch this!"
He jumped down from the third floor and attacked the big man with a burst of spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy, with a tail of white light, instantly hit the big man's chest. The big man immediately vomited blood, flew back dozens of steps, and hit the counter with a dull thud, falling to the ground.
The big man sat there slumped and powerless. He smiled, his teeth stained with blood. He looked at Bai Linchuan and said, "It's too late."
Bai Linchuan widened his eyes, his heartbeat stopped for a moment, and he turned to look at Mo Xue.
Mo Xue stopped where he was, as if he had suffered a major blow.
It seemed like an eternity had passed, but before Wei Si could even rush downstairs, Bai Linchuan could no longer endure the silence and spoke with difficulty, "Mo Xue..."
Unexpectedly, Mo Xue suddenly burst into laughter. He laughed so hard that he was out of breath. He wiped away the tears from his eyes and said, "Junior Sister, do you know what he said? He actually said you are Bai Linchuan, that stinky-faced Bai Linchuan!"
He continued to laugh and said to the big man: "How is this possible? If you want to sow discord, you should think of a better excuse, hahahaha."
The big man was stunned by his laughter and looked at Bai Linchuan silently.
Bai Linchuan's face was covered with a black cloth, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly. However, he clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, and inside he felt... mixed emotions.
The big man said, "You don't believe it? I saw it with my own eyes!"
Mo Xue: "You've probably never met Bai Linchuan. That's Bai Linchuan, the sect's number one, a child of destiny. How could he disguise himself as a woman just for me? Just to get in my presence? What's his intention? Is he crazy?"
Bai Linchuan: "………………"
Mo Xue spoke very confidently.
The big man stared with his eyes wide open, bloodshot, and pointed at Bai Linchuan: "If you don't believe it, then take off his veil and open your eyes, then you will know that what I said is true!"
Mo Xue glanced at Bai Linchuan, then stepped forward and said to the big man, "Junior Sister has her own difficulties. If she doesn't want to take it off, no one can force her to do so. She's just wearing a veil. Even if she kills you, she hasn't done anything wrong."
The big man's face turned red from holding his breath. At this moment, Bai Linchuan stepped forward and said to Mo Xue, "If you want to see it, I... just am not ready yet."
Under the veil, Bai Linchuan's eyes slid deeply across the dark face.
Mo Xiu's eyebrows curved, and he smiled and said, "I'll wait for you."
The big man immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and turned his face away, not wanting to look at the two people who were in love with each other.
After checking the second floor, Wei Si found nothing, so he walked up to Mo Xue and asked what happened.
Bai Linchuan walked up to the big man and suddenly lifted a corner of the black cloth, revealing his sharp chin and a smile at the corner of his lips.
The big man was furious, "You!"
Bai Linchuan moved closer to him and whispered, "Now that you know who I am, you should also know what to do next."
Bai Linchuan moved his hand slightly, and the big man's neck suddenly shrank. A pulling force pulled him upwards, and his head seemed to be pressed on the counter. He lost all his strength in an instant, his face twisted and wrinkled, his neck stiffened, and his face turned red.
He slapped the floor in pain, and Bai Linchuan withdrew his hand.
The big man touched his neck as if he had just survived a disaster and said, "Madman..."
Bai Linchuan turned around, and seeing that he hadn't asked anything, Mo Xue said, "Junior Sister, you are still too kind. Let me ask."
He put the knife on the big man's neck and asked, "Let me ask you, who ordered you to do this?"
The big man glanced at Bai Linchuan behind Mo Xue, a breath stuck in his chest, and finally he exhaled and said, "Cao Feichen is the owner of this inn."
"What did he ask you to do? Why did you lie to us?"
"I want you to bring He Shuangran back. I don't know anything else."
Ruan Yi was shocked. "Your target is Ran Niang! What does she have to do with this?"
The big man said, "Cao Feichen only told me this. He told me those stories in order to gain your trust."
"Where are the others?" Wei Si asked.
Mo Xie: "If he knew where the person was, he would never come back to this inn."
The dust on the ground was Cao Feichen's disguise, but the big man destroyed it. Obviously, he didn't know that Cao Feichen had already prepared to run away.
"One last question, where are the spirit stones?" Mo Xue asked viciously.
The big man looked helpless. Just as he raised his hand, Bai Linchuan stood in front of Mo Xue. Mo Xue patted him soothingly.
The big man simply took out a spirit stone from his pocket and handed half to Mo Xue. Mo Xue still held out his hand, "Don't you know where this spirit stone came from?"
The big man threw them all to him in one breath, and Mo Xie returned the spirit stones to Bai Linchuan with a smile.
The big man rolled his eyes. "I've said everything I need to say, and I've given everything I need to give. Where's the antidote?"
Bai Linchuan: "What antidote?"
Mo Xie touched his nose and said, "I gave him a spirit-dispersing medicine before." He said to the big man, "After three hours, your spiritual energy will naturally recover."
The big man was deceived again, "You!" He glared at him, covered his chest and walked away.
Bai Linchuan instantly thought, "Did you drug the fish this morning?"
Mo Xue nodded and looked at Wei Si guiltily.
…
Let’s go back to the morning.
Bai Linchuan was wearing a black cloth and was eating fish with his head down, not paying attention to his surroundings.
Mo Xue leaned over to the dark corner of his sight and pointed at the fish.
Wei Si said, "Are you sure you want to drug him?"
"Hush!" Mo Xie said quietly, "Of course, the big man is obviously dishonest."
Wei Si looked at Mo Xue, who looked like a ghost, and lowered his voice and said, "Do we really have to be so cautious?"
"Junior Sister is so kind, it's better for us to do this dirty work."
Wei Si: “…”
Mo Xue glanced at Bai Linchuan and said, "Junior Sister, we didn't mean to hide this from you."
Bai Linchuan frowned, "Where did you get the Sanling medicine? It's a forbidden item in the sect."
Mo Xue remained silent, his face hesitant, but Bai Linchuan guessed who it was. He seemed to glance at Wei Si, his eyes trembled for a moment, and he turned and left.
"Junior sister..." Mo Xie caught up with her.
Ruan Yi asked from behind, "Are they a Taoist couple?"
Wei thought for a long time, "Their situation is a bit complicated."
"Oh..." Ruan Yi nodded thoughtfully, "But they seem to care about each other very much."
“That’s why it’s so complicated.”
"oh……"
The four of them stood at the door of the inn. "What should we do if the innkeeper still hasn't shown up?" Ruan Yi nervously clutched his sleeves. "Could he have already gone out to look for Ran Niang?"
"No." Mo Xue pointed at the floor of the inn. "If he really left, there would be no need to create the illusion of escape."
He held out his hand, "Where are our explosives?"
"You are going to blow up this store!" Ruan Yi said in shock.
Bai Linchuan handed him the dynamite.
Mo Xue snapped his fingers, and a cluster of fire ignited in his hand. The flame was ignited instantly. A "hissing" sound was heard, and the flame gradually shortened and was about to end.
Ruan Yi held his breath, looked at the inn, then at the explosives, and immediately retreated a few steps.
Just as Mo Xie raised his hand to throw the explosives out, a voice shouted in time.
"Wait a minute!"
Mo Xue snapped his fingers again, and the flame went out immediately, leaving only the tip of his little finger long enough to ignite the explosives.
Cao Feichen pushed open the door of the inn and stood in front of everyone.
Wei Si raised his lips and said, "It seems that the store owner really cherishes this precious store."
"After all, earning thousands of spirit stones a day, who wouldn't love that?" Mo Xue continued.
Ruan Yi looked at the backs of Mo Xue and the other two, then walked forward. It turned out that they were trying to trick him.
Cao Feichen said: "I have no intention of harming you."
"You never know. Maybe you just can't hurt us." Mo Xie's eyes were sharp as he held the dangerous explosives. "Since you are a smart man, what's next?"
Cao Feichen paused, then opened the door and said, "Everyone, please come in."
He didn't say anything at first, just asked Mo Xue and others to sit down, then went to the kitchen to clean up and made a table of delicious food, but it was too hasty and most of the food was just mediocre.
Ruan Yi glanced at Cao Feichen cautiously: "What is he doing?"
After everything was ready, he sat down and told the story: "This is what happened...More than a month ago, Shuzhong suddenly became deserted. The streets were deserted and inns were closing one after another. I have been running this inn for several years and it has borne all my hard work.
I couldn't let this go on until rumors of a water monster spread outside, so I decided to break the rumor myself.
I bought a demon-repelling talisman and waited overnight on the mountain. I prayed sincerely to Chishui Lake, and to my surprise, it actually worked…”
In the dark night, a whirlpool formed in the lake, and the water gradually rose upwards, gathering into a transparent shadow.
Cao Feichen blinked again, and the Red Mountain Demon transformed into his appearance, as if a water mirror appeared in front of him.
Cao Feichen stretched out his hand, his fingertips trembling, "You...you are a water demon?"
"No, I am you..." It murmured, its voice distant and clear, and then said one more sentence: "I will bring He Shuangran back."
Cao Feichen's eyes lit up, "If we bring her back, will Shuzhong return to its former state?"
The Red Water Demon paused. "Of course," the water flowed downwards, canceling the illusion and transforming into a flowing mass of water. "I promise you in the name of Red Mountain."
Cao Feichen kowtowed several times excitedly, "Yes, I will definitely live up to your trust."
But he didn't know He Shuangran, so he went to investigate Ruanyi, entered Taoyuan, and found the book he wrote.
However, he didn't expect to alert the enemy. Ruan Yi began to worry about He Shuangran and decided to go out to see her.
Only then did Cao Feichen realize that the entire Shu was closed off, and when he went ashore again, what was waiting for him was a dry lake bottom.
He saw the true form of the water monster in the magma. It was terrifying and eerie, with fiery red magma all over its body. It was completely different from the mysterious ghost water monster at night. It growled and spewed sparks, "Didn't I ask you to bring He Shuangran back!"
"Things have changed." Cao Feichen said sternly, "I can't leave Shuzhong anymore."
The water demon said, "I did it."
"Hmm?" Cao Feichen frowned, "Then how am I going to get her back?"
"That's your business, but..." The Red Mountain Demon spoke, a hole forming in the middle of the magma, which opened and closed as he let out a terrifying laugh. "As long as you roll around in this magma, the survivors will naturally be able to get out."
Cao Feichen looked at the surging magma and took a half step back.
The Red Mountain Demon asked, "You don't dare?"
Cao Feichen swallowed his saliva and asked, "Why are you so obsessed with these two?"
The Red Mountain Demon surged madly. "Hehehe, they actually tried to escape. They must pay the price! I must devour them myself!" He opened his mouth wide, and fire gushed out. "Hehehe, that must be quite delicious."
Before leaving, the water demon warned, "My identity has been posted on the demon-killing wall of Lingzhong Mountain. Soon, monks will come. Remember to conceal my presence. If that doesn't work, get rid of them."
Cao Feichen turned around and looked at it. The trees behind him were stained with a layer of fire. He had an ordinary, good-natured face, but at this moment, the light of the flames lit up his face, and his eyes were dark.
He nodded slowly.
"...That's the whole thing." Cao Feichen said.
"What about you poisoning Xiao Mazi?" Wei Si asked back.
Cao Feichen hesitated for a moment. "This isn't what I wanted to do. I had no choice. It was... the Red Mountain Demon who discovered him. He saw the Red Mountain Demon's spirit and told me to kill him. I had no choice... so I took action."
After hearing this, Mo Xue picked up his chopsticks and started eating the food on the table.
"Aren't you afraid of being poisonous?" Ruan Yi was terrified. In his opinion, Cao Feichen actually associated with monsters, so how could he be a good person?
Cao Feichen said, "Don't worry, I won't poison you."
Mo Xue chewed some peanuts and said, "If he really wanted to cover up the water monster, he wouldn't have told us about Xiao Mazi."
Cao Feichen forced a smile and said, "Sir, you are a very understanding person. I want to make a deal with you."
Mo Xie raised his eyes and looked at him.
Cao Feichen rubbed his hands and said, "I heard that as long as you obtain the demon spirit, you can control the demon."
Ruan Yi was shocked: "Don't you know how many people that monster has killed?"
Wei Si suddenly laughed, "How ridiculous! The demon thinks it can use people to kill people. It stirs up sincerity and then exploits sincerity. Doesn't it know that sincerity is rare in people? It only wants to take advantage of it."
Before he could finish his words, thick fog descended from the sky, the weather suddenly changed, and the sky seemed to be dropping downwards.
Following the clap of thunder, there was a roar.
"Cao Feichen——"
The rain was about to come, and the bean-sized raindrops quickly wet the ground. A rain curtain formed under the hallway, and the trees in the distance were uprooted. The howling wind blew the rain in, making it bone-chilled.
The Red Mountain Demon is coming——
Mo Xue placed his chopsticks on the edge of the plate and said, "I never thought that one day, the monster who slandered the sincerity would also taste the taste of betrayal."
