Chapter 1353 Huaishui Bamboo Pavilion 3
Jiang Xinxin wanted to find out the basic situation of this world, and the three people around her were all from famous families, so they must be very good subjects for inquiries.
But there is no way to stop the conflict between humans and demons in this world. Even though Jiang Xinxin can't be classified as a demon in any way, she still has to be careful about being mistaken for a rapist. What's more, among the three people traveling together, only Dongfang Qinlan is easier to talk to. Wang Quan Hongye is the young master of Wang Quan Villa, and Dongfang Huaizhu is the eldest daughter of Shenhuoshan Villa. They may be kind, but they are definitely not heartless people.
So if Jiang Xinxin wanted to find out the news, she could only gain the trust of Wang Quan Hongye and Dongfang Huaizhu first.
Dongfang Qinlan was very curious about Jiang Xinxin who saved her. What's more, Jiang Xinxin had extraordinary cultivation and called himself a casual cultivator, which was in line with the image of a hermit in the picture book. So she followed Jiang Xinxin around to ask for news.
"Sister Jiang, is your family one of those secluded families that lives in seclusion in the mountains and only sends people out to travel every once in a while?"
"Sister Jiang, Sister Jiang, are there any rules in your home that are different from those outside?"
"Sister Jiang, Sister Jiang, your swordsmanship is amazing. It's even better than the masked group that was all the rage before. Did you learn it for a long time?"
…………
Jiang Xinxin listened to Sister Jiang for a while, but seeing Dongfang Qinlan's cute appearance, she still answered one by one: "My family is indeed the kind of people who live in seclusion in the mountains. They will only send disciples out for training when their cultivation is almost complete."
"There are no special rules in our family, but if I have to say one, it's probably that the elders in the family have always taught us younger generations to treat all living things in the world equally."
"I haven't heard of any masked group. I did learn swordsmanship for a long time, but I prefer the whip."
After finding a quiet place to rest for a while, Dongfang Huaizhu proposed to rescue the mortals in the village who were said to have been abducted by the monsters. "The ghost-faced spider said that all the young and strong people in the village were abducted by monsters, and the old, weak and sick were killed. The remaining ones who escaped by chance also fled far away."
"I think someone must have been kidnapped, otherwise the Ghost-Faced Spider wouldn't stay in that inn to welcome and see off guests."
Jiang Xinxin added, "And I suspect something must have happened in the demon tribe of Nanchui that required urgent work. In the past, demon tribes did kidnap mortals as blood food to practice evil arts, but they never deliberately selected young and strong people on such a large scale."
Wang Quanhongye told the news he had found out: "There is a great demon in Nanchui named Baimu Demon King. It is said that he loves another great demon, Poison Lady. In order to please Poison Lady, he ordered the construction of a Star-Picking Tower. So I suspect that those young men who were abducted were sent by the Ghost-Faced Spider to build the Star-Picking Tower."
Hearing this, Dongfang Huaizhu didn't know what to say. Instead, Dongfang Qinlan complained, "This Hundred-Eyed Demon King is really something. The demons are obviously stronger and more durable, so why do they target those ordinary people who have no strength?"
Jiang Xinxin simply decided: "Then let's go directly to Zhaixing Tower."
Wang Quan Hongye was the first to agree, and the two sisters of the Dongfang family also agreed, especially Dongfang Qinlan. She was so excited that she wanted to rush into the Zhaixing Tower immediately to kill everyone, save those innocent mortals, and become a famous hero!
Under the leadership of Wang Quan Hongye, everyone found the Zhaixing Tower in a short time. Dongfang Qinlan was slightly impressed by the towering Zhaixing Tower. This Zhaixing Tower with less than ten floors was very ordinary in Jiang Xinxin's eyes. Not to mention, the gate of the Wuji Palace given by Heaven in her previous world was much higher than this.
However, everyone was not here to appreciate the Zhaixing Tower right now, and because the construction work of the Zhaixing Tower stopped at night, the captured laborers disappeared. Jiang Xinxin could not use tracking spells, but she could easily gain a bit of popularity from the poisonous gas, evil spirit and resentment here.
Jiang Xinxin, relying on the popularity she just gained, turned around and asked Dongfang Huaizhu and Wang Quanhongye, "Who among you knows how to track people? I can't use it, but I have a trace of popularity here, I hope it can help you find someone."
Wang Quanhongye was the first to take the aura from Jiang Xinxin's hand and said with a smile, "It's great to have this thing. If we just run around looking for people by ourselves, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Although she really wanted to learn the magic of this world, Wang Quan Hongye was the one who inherited the legacy and was suspected to be the male protagonist. The level of trust between the two parties was not enough. Jiang Xinxin certainly would not challenge the tacit rules of the world, so when Wang Quan Hongye cast a spell, she took the initiative to avoid it.
Not only Jiang Xinxin, but Dongfang Huaizhu was the same. Only Dongfang Qinlan was so silly that she found everything new and curious. This made Wang Quanhongye, who had already decided to detain the abducted mortals, think of his own sister at home.
Wang Quan Hongye smiled and said, "My magic of finding people and things is not very sophisticated, so the two girls don't need to be so cautious."
Jiang Xinxin followed with a smile and said, "I don't want to be so artificial, it makes me look like I'm trying to cover up something. But I'm talented and smart, I can learn this spell after just one look."
Dongfang Huaizhu lowered his head to hold back his laughter, then raised his head again and echoed Jiang Xinxin's words, "Although I'm not as talented and intelligent as Sister Jiang, this spell is indeed simple..."
Then Dongfang Qinlan wanted to become autistic.
The mortals who were captured to work were locked up in a secret cave. If Jiang Xinxin had not gathered the popularity and allowed Wang Quan Hongye to use magic to find them, who knows how many people would have suffered.
But outside the cave, there was a formation filled with poisonous gas. The four of them moved a little further away and looked at the swirling purple-black fog, knowing how powerful the poison was. Jiang Xinxin immediately said, "This poisonous fog looks like it should be yin. I have yang strange fire that can restrain this kind of poisonous fog."
As she spoke, Jiang Xinxin summoned out the Glazed Pure Fire and carefully separated it into three flowers to protect Wang Quan Hongye and the two sisters of the Dongfang family.
Dongfang Huaizhu thanked Jiang Xinxin for her kindness first, and then directly summoned the strange fire passed down from his family. "This is the ancestral sacred fire of our Dongfang family. It can also restrain a lot of poisons."
Dongfang Huaizhu couldn't use it, but Dongfang Qinlan and Wang Quanhongye needed it. Jiang Xinxin unceremoniously separated two glazed pure fires and placed them in front of them. After entering the poisonous fog, no one showed any signs of poisoning.
Wang Quan Hongye noticed the difference between the Dongfang family's sacred fire and the strange fire that Jiang Xinxin took out.
The Dongfang family's sacred fire is also masculine and can also restrain feminine toxins, but it consumes spiritual energy to use.
The strange fire that Jiang Xinxin took out seemed to be able to use the poisonous fog as fuel, and Jiang Xinxin was not seen using spiritual power to drive the strange fire. While the strange fire continued to purify the poisonous fog, it was also slowly growing stronger.
Before they had time to express their feelings, they had already found a prison cell where many mortals were imprisoned.
