Chapter 28: Digging the grave for the second time

 Nie Xuan is not too worried about the whereabouts of his adoptive father, because even if he was seriously injured and besieged by eight masters more than two thousand years ago, his adoptive father could still save his life. Now that he has recovered from his injuries, even if his cultivation has not been fully restored, , I'm afraid there are only a few people who can be his opponent, let alone such a coincidence that they would gather in a small mountain village.

 The small mountain village was burned to the ground and the villagers died tragically. It was obvious that the murderer should be a cultivator, and Nie Xuan already had several clear targets in mind, namely Situ Yang, the three friends Taihuan, and Liu Wuxing!

 Eight days ago, it was precisely because Situ Yang and the Three Friends of Taihuan knew that they had obtained the secret of the Purple Cloud Spirit Point that they forced themselves to leave here. Later, thanks to the appearance of Wumingqi, they escaped their pursuit. So when they got rid of After killing Wumingqi, he would definitely come back here to wait for him to come back. When he didn't come back after waiting for a long time, he got angry at the villagers of the small mountain village and carried out a murderous attack.

 It is also possible that Liu Wuxing waited for him to fail to come on the appointed day, and with his righteous and evil character, he also vented his anger on the nearby villagers, so he killed them.

 Anyway, no matter who the murderer is, one thing is certain, that is, the deaths of the villagers are inevitably related to him!

 Nie Xuan suddenly said without looking back: "Can you tell who the murderer is?"

 Shi Bukong naturally knew that he was asking himself, and during the period of Nie Xuan's contemplation, he was not idle either. He speculated, so he quickly said: "It should be a cultivator, and he is the kind of extremely vicious cultivator!"

 "Reason?"

 "Because there is a rule of thumb in the world of cultivation, that is, no cultivator can harm ordinary people, otherwise it will be They will become public enemies in the world of cultivation, so only cultivators who are extremely vicious and do not take this rule seriously can do such a thing."

 "How many do you know?"

 "Well, it's hard to say this, but there are There are a few with bad reputations, such as Qian San*, Yu Bietong and so on."

 "Situ Yang, the Three Friends of Taihuan, and Liu Wuxing, aren't they among them?"

 Hearing these names, Shi Bukong was slightly startled, shook his head and said, "Of the people you mentioned, Situ Yang is among them. He has a bad reputation, but his cultivation level is not very high and he does not dare to do such a thing. Taihuan Sanyou is a well-known and upright person, and it is impossible to do such a thing. And Liu Wuxing, he is You don't bother to do such a thing!"

 "Humph, I don't dare, it's impossible, I don't even bother!" Nie Xuan repeated this sentence and then slowly stood up.

 Shi Bukong could tell that something was wrong with Nie Xuan's tone, and he didn't know what he said wrong, so he didn't dare to ask.

 Next, Nie Xuan found an open space, took out the Soul Sword and started digging. Seeing Nie Xuan's actions, Shi Bukong immediately understood that Nie Xuan was going to dig a big pit to bury the corpses of the villagers, so he also Come and help.

 With the combined efforts of the two of them, a huge deep pit was dug out in a short while. Nie Xuan put the corpses of the villagers into the pit one by one, then filled the pit and inserted a piece of stone on top. Smooth stone slab, this was the second time he dug a grave in just one year.

 After standing in front of this tomb for a long time, Nie Xuan turned around and walked to the tomb where his mother was buried. After standing there for a long time, he suddenly said: "I'm leaving. Now you can tell me that you have been following me. After all, What is it for?"

 Shi Bukong was startled by Nie Xuan's sudden question, and he waved his hands quickly: "I don't have any purpose, really, Brother Nie, I just want to make friends with you, Brother Nie!"

 Nie Xuan turned his head, looked at him expressionlessly and said: "Because of what you have done these days, I will give you a chance. No matter why you are doing it, even if you are doing it for these two magic weapons, as long as you say Come out and I'll give it to you! But if you still don't say anything, then don't blame me!"

 The reason why Nie Xuan was able to say such words was actually due to what Shi Bukong did when helping the Luo family. He also knew that Shi Bukong worked so hard to help the Luo family just to please himself. He didn't like owing favors, so it was better to pay them off as soon as possible.

 Shi Bukong seemed to be annoyed by Nie Xuan, he stamped his foot fiercely and said: "Brother Nie, I have told you before, I will never take any chances with your two magic weapons in this life. I have been following you, and if I want to talk about my purpose, then I just want you to treat me as a friend. Besides, didn't you also say that you still need my help with some things?"

 Nie Xuan looked at Shi Bukong quietly. After a while, he nodded and said: "Okay, then I can tell you that from now on, you Shi Bukong will be my friend Nie Xuan!" Before Shi Bukong could

 speak, Nie Xuan then said: "I I hope you can help me go to the Dixuan Sect to find out whether any of their disciples came here about a year ago and did something extremely obscene!" When Nie Xuan said the last sentence, There were already faint sparks bursting out of his eyes.

 Shi Bukong couldn't help but shuddered and said, "Don't worry, this matter is on my shoulders. I will definitely find out for you."

 Nie Xuan nodded and said, "How long?"

 Shi Bukong thought for a while. Said: "The fastest one month, the latest three months, let's do this, I will give you a token of my sect. If you want to find me, as long as you see people from the Miaoshou Sect and show this token, they will naturally Tell me!"

 As he spoke, Shi Bukong handed Nie Xuan a small palm-shaped token. Nie Xuan took it unceremoniously and said: "Whether you can find out clearly or not, I owe you a favor. ! Okay, I'm leaving!"

 "Wait!" Shi Bukong showed a few pieces of spirit stones and a few pieces of silver in his hand and said, "I know Brother Nie, you don't have much money, so you can use the money first! "

 He was worried that Nie Xuan would sell those top-quality magic weapons again. Nie Xuan took it again unceremoniously. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Where is Qianxiong Mountain?"

 "Qianxiong Mountain is in the territory of Northern Mongolia. It's not too close here. You just need to fly all the way north. If you fly faster, you can get there in about half a month!"

 Nie Xuan nodded, finally turned around and said, "I'm leaving!"

 After saying that, he threw out the Soul Sword, turned over and stepped on it, and left. However, he did not fly north, but flew up the mountain. He came to the Sumeru space again, picked up a leaf, and carved on it After a few lines of words, he gently placed the leaves on the ground, and then he really left, flying towards the north in the direction pointed by Shi Bukong.

 Looking at Nie Xuan's disappearing back, Shi Bukong murmured to himself: "Evil Emperor Huang Shuo, Nie Xuan, the son of the Evil Emperor, should be the adopted son, but whether the Evil Emperor is still alive or not, if he has If he is gone, then I wonder if he told Nie Xuan what happened in his time!"

 Nie Xuan stepped on the Soul Sword, feeling as if a big stone had been blocked in his heart. He was extremely depressed, so he kept urging him to move. Use the majestic spiritual power in your body to speed up your flight, so that you can vent your heart a little.

 The reason why he wanted to go to Qianxiong Mountain was because his adoptive father once said that it was the place where he used to live in seclusion. It was considered his former residence. It had been more than two thousand years since he left. If possible, he would like to go back there to visit. , and there are still some things he used there.

 Nie Xuan thought that he might be able to meet his adoptive father again in Qianxiong Mountain, and he also left a message to his adoptive father, informing him of his movements. If his adoptive father came back, he would rush to Qianxiong Mountain to meet him after seeing the message. .

 If he didn't see his adoptive father in Qianxiong Mountain, then he might wait for a while, and then he would leave Qianxiong Mountain regardless of whether his adoptive father appeared or not. After all, he was still carrying a blood feud!
