The three of them returned to the inn and sat down. The blue-shirted monk introduced himself: "My name is Mo Lingbo. Huang Yue and I are both independent cultivators. We are good friends and usually travel around together. But today he... Alas."
Yi Xichen patted his shoulder and consoled him, "My condolences, fellow Taoist."
Mo Lingbo was probably frightened by Huang Yue's pursuit and hacking today. He was more angry than sad about losing his good friend. He said, "We were all normal monks. About ten days ago, Huang Yue started to become more and more abnormal! Sometimes he would wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, saying that he had a nightmare and saw something terrible."
Yi Xichen thought to himself: It’s the inner demon!
The eldest grandson Jun narrowed his eyes: Ten days ago? Ten days ago...
Mo Lingbo continued, "Later, his temper became more and more violent, and he had a demonic aura... I knew he was going to go crazy, but I couldn't stop him. Later, he became like this today! Damn it!"
Yi Xichen asked hurriedly, "Before he became possessed, did he come into contact with any unusual people? What unusual things happened?"
Mo Lingbo said, "I was just about to tell you! Just before Huang Yue changed, he had contact with a female swordsman! Huang Yue didn't have any major flaws, except that he was lustful. When he saw a pretty girl, he wanted to get in touch with her... I wasn't there at the time. When I got there, Huang Yue had already started fighting with the female swordsman! The female swordsman was quite powerful. Huang Yue didn't get any advantage from her, and she stabbed him with a sword. That night, Huang Yue started having nightmares. Moreover, the wounds from the female swordsman turned black!"
Female swordsman! This story sounds like Huang Yue tried to flirt with someone but ended up getting hurt. However, even if he is lustful, it is not worth it for someone to plant a demon in his heart and make him go crazy!
Yi Xichen immediately asked: "What are the characteristics of that female swordsman?"
Mo Lingbo thought for a moment and said, "She looks... pretty, but cold and expressionless. By the way, her sword is very unique. It's very thin and ice-blue. When I first saw it, I thought it was made of ice..."
The eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen stared at each other.
Yue Xiaorou! The Fenghan Sword used by Yue Xiaorou was exactly the same as what Mo Lingbo described! Who would have thought that the female cultivator they met was really Yue Xiaorou! !
Their emotions were extremely complicated for a moment. When Yi Xichen first saw Yue Xiaorou in Qiao Jue's sea of consciousness, he was worried that Yue Xiaorou and Qiao Jue had also exchanged the power of the inner demon with the devil, but he didn't want that to happen. After all, Yue Xiaorou was their junior sister and a disciple of the Tianjian Sect. How could she fall into such a situation? ! However, Mo Lingbo's words undoubtedly confirmed their worst guess.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Mo Lingbo hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Have you also seen that female swordsman? By the way, you said that your friend also experienced something like this. Could it be that he was also harmed by that woman?"
Yi Xichen was still trying to find a way to excuse Yue Xiaorou: "No... no. Apart from that female swordsman, has he encountered any other strange things?"
Mo Lingbo shook his head: "Nothing. I was with him most of the time, and didn't encounter anything strange, nor did I come into contact with anyone. After thinking about it, the most suspicious person is the female swordsman."
The eldest grandson, Jun, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up: "Can you let me see what that woman looks like in your mind?"
Mo Lingbo immediately took a defensive stance and refused without thinking: "Of course not! How can I let you see my sea of consciousness casually!"
The eldest grandson Jun said nothing and did not force him any further.
It was only natural for Mo Lingbo to refuse. Unless someone was very close to him, the sea of consciousness would not be allowed to be invaded by others.
However, his words made Mo Lingbo suspicious. Mo Lingbo stood up suddenly, took two steps back, and looked at them with a questioning look: "Who are you? Are you in the same group as that female swordsman? What do you want to do by breaking into my sea of consciousness? Do you want to harm me too!"
Yi Xichen said hurriedly: "Friend Mo, you are worrying too much. We just want to see what happened and what the female swordsman looks like. Maybe we can know something."
However, Mo Lingbo distrusted them to the extreme: "Just tell me what you know! You are clearly setting a trap for me! I'm leaving!" He turned around and was about to leave.
The two of them had not expected that Mo Lingbo would have such a bad temper. Yi Xichen hurried over to hold him back, "I'm sorry, Daoist friend. I'm sorry. It's our fault. We didn't mean any other thing! We won't say that again, and we dare not offend Daoist friend. I wonder what your plan is next?"
Mo Lingbo looked at him with suspicion.
Yi Xichen said, "If you don't have anything urgent to do, why don't you stay in the next room for now? You can take us to the place you went before, and we can discuss and see if we can find any clues to find the culprit. We can avenge your friend and mine."
Don't hesitate.
Yi Xichen saw that his attitude had softened and was about to persuade him again, but Mo Lingbo said, "That's fine, but what you just said was so terrible. I can't trust you! How about this, let's exchange swords as collateral. In this way, I trust you and you trust me."
Yi Xichen was stunned. Changing swords? This sword cultivator cherishes his swords very much. He would never leave his swords for even a moment, let alone hand them over to others. Changing swords to gain trust? It is true that only someone you trust the most will allow the other person to touch your sword.
Yi Xichen said: "This... is also thanks to you for coming up with this idea."
Mo Lingbo said, "It's fair, isn't it? You gave me the sword, and I gave you the sword. If you don't have this sincerity, then forget it. I don't dare to trust you anyway."
If Chang Sun Zijun and Yi Xichen had no sincerity in cooperating with him to catch the murderer, then Mo Lingbo was even less sincere, even offering to exchange swords. However, Yi Xichen did not refuse, and questioned Chang Sun Zijun with his eyes. After getting Chang Sun Zijun's affirmation, he said, "It's not fair. There are two of us. Are we going to exchange our two swords for one sword of Mo Daoyou?"
Mo Lingbo looked at this and that, then pointed at his eldest grandson Zijun and said, "Then I will exchange swords with him!"
The reason why sword cultivators are unwilling to hand over their precious swords to others is that they are afraid that others will do something to damage the sword. The Cangyun Sword owned by the eldest grandson, Jun, is of course better than Mo Lingbo's sword, but he is not afraid of being stolen. He has used the Cangyun Sword for some time, and the sword is infused with his Qi. He is connected with the sword, and he can immediately detect where Mo Lingbo takes the sword or what he does to it.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, said, "Okay."
Seeing how happy he was, Mo Lingbo raised his eyebrows, and the two of them exchanged swords.
It was getting late, so Mo Lingbo went to stay in the next house.
While his eldest grandson Zijun was still there, Yi Xichen quickly closed the door, fearing that he would run away again tonight, and then pulled him to sit at the table.
"Could it really be Junior Sister Yue?" Yi Xichen asked.
Both were silent.
As disciples of the Medicine Pavilion, they didn't interact much with other disciples, so they didn't know much about Yue Xiaorou. Perhaps it wasn't just them, there were few people in the Heavenly Sword Sect who knew Yue Xiaorou, because her personality was too cold. In Yi Xichen's memory, during the few days of the sword competition, he had never seen Yue Xiaorou cry, laugh, or get excited, and it seemed that she didn't even talk to anyone.
How could such a person become the devil's lackey like Qiao Jue?
It was getting late. Yi Xichen observed the expression of his eldest grandson Zijun and dragged him to the bed: "It's time to rest. Talk to me about Junior Sister Yue again and see if you can remember any details."
Before the eldest grandson Zijun could object, Yi Xichen suddenly threw him onto the bed.
The eldest grandson, Zijun: "..."
Yi Xichen was like a bully who robbed a woman. He grinned evilly and lay down next to his eldest grandson Zijun.
Yi Xichen said: "Go ahead!"
What to say? The eldest grandson, Zijun, was speechless. In his normal memory, he had almost no impression of Yue Xiaorou. In this distorted world, even if he had any impression, it was all fake. Moreover, they were lying on the same bed, and they were actually discussing another woman. That was too embarrassing.
Seeing that his eldest grandson Zijun was silent, Yi Xichen said, "Zijun, you sent Yue Xiaorou away with one sword, it was amazing!"
The eldest grandson, Zijun: "..."
"You're really, really amazing! To me, you're the most amazing person in the world!" He emphasized, "In every aspect!"
The eldest grandson, Zijun: "..."
He reached out and touched Yi Xichen's head, looking at him with suspicion. Is this man also possessed by a demon?
"Zijun, I like you the most! Your hair, your eyes, your nose... and your body, I like them all so much!"
The eldest grandson Jun felt a chill and began to wonder if he had entered another demonic world.
Yi Xichen chuckled and slowly stretched out his hand: "So..."
At this moment, the eldest grandson, Zijun, suddenly looked gloomy and sat up abruptly: "Cangyun!"
Yi Xichen's hands were suspended in the air, and he was stunned for a moment: "Ah, ah? Cang Yun? What happened to the Cang Yun Sword?"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, jumped out of bed, put on his clothes and rushed out. Yi Xichen hurriedly followed.
After leaving the room, they heard the sound of fighting coming from the next room. The two of them were startled and immediately pushed the door open and rushed in!
In the room, Mo Lingbo was fighting with Yue Xiaorou! Yue Xiaorou's moves were extremely fierce, and Mo Lingbo was exhausted, so he screamed, "Daoyou, save me!"
Just as Yue Xiaorou's sword was about to pierce a hole in Mo Lingbo's body, the eldest grandson Zijun swung out with his sword and knocked Yue Xiaorou's sword away with a bang!
"Junior Sister Yue! It's really you!" Yi Xichen said in disbelief.
When Yue Xiaorou saw her eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen rushing in, her face changed. She stopped pestering Mo Lingbo and turned around and rushed out of the window!
The three men would not let her leave like this, so they jumped out of the window and chased in the direction Yue Xiaorou left!
