Chapter 256 Unknown Origin
The shopkeeper recalled something and slowly said: "Late that night, two Taoist friends from the City Lord's Mansion and I were ordered to go to Flame Ridge to catch a first-order monster called Huo Jinying.

This kind of monster only appears at night and feeds on flames. There are three volcanoes outside Huoli City, one of which is at Flame Ridge. There are more Huojinyingying nearby.

When we were halfway through catching, we saw this little girl next to a hot spring. She was holding spring water in both hands and splashing it on her face. After spotting the three of us, she smiled at us, turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

At that time, I mentioned to two fellow Taoists who were traveling together that the temperature in Flame Ridge was so high that it was extremely easy to suffer from heatstroke. I don’t know how she, a mortal, could endure it.

It's just that we were on a mission at the time and didn't pay much attention to it. Later, until we left, the little girl never appeared again.

Strangely enough, my consciousness had been out at that time, and she seemed to suddenly appear in my sight. Before that, my consciousness had no response. "

Hearing the last sentence, Shen Qingluo thought of the situation where the little girl appeared not long ago. She stumbled and ran from a distance and fell in front of the door.

If you think about it carefully, you will see that it appeared directly in your sight, and it was not that your spiritual consciousness sensed it first.

"I'd like to inform the shopkeeper about this."

"Senior, you're too polite. I haven't been able to help you much. I don't dare to take it as a favor. This little girl's background may be a bit strange. Senior, please be careful. If you have no other instructions, I'll take my leave first."

Shen Qingluo nodded and said hello.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper immediately left Dan Qingque without staying any longer.

For him, the less he is exposed to such weird things that exceed his cognition, the better.

He is just a young Qi refining monk and does not have the golden elixir cultivation level like the master of Dan Qingque. If something happens to him, the senior may be safe and sound, but he himself is hard to say.

After the shopkeeper left, Shen Qingluo walked to the little girl and knelt down to observe her for a while.

The sensed bone age is indeed ten years old, and there is no possibility of any treasure covering it up. As for the appearance, there are no signs of using illusions to change it.

His Dantian has not been opened, and there is no spiritual energy in his body. He is indeed a mortal.

But when the shopkeeper said those words before, it didn't sound like he was lying.

After thinking about it, Shen Qingluo decided to wake up the little girl first.

Just in case, she put a layer of defense around her body, and then used her palms to bring up a lighter spiritual power and pointed it at the center of the opponent's eyebrows.

The next moment, the man who had fallen into a coma frowned slightly, his longer eyelashes trembled several times, and then his eyes opened slightly, revealing black and white pupils.

Looking at the strange girl standing in front of her, a trace of confusion flashed in the eyes of the little girl who had just woken up.

Turning her head with difficulty, she looked around and found that it was a place she had never been before.

"Sister, where is this?"

Because of his extremely weak body, his voice was like a mosquito.

Shen Qingluo said as gently as possible: "This is Huolicheng Danqingque. You passed out in front of the door, and I brought you in. You have just woken up and are weak. Do you want to eat something first to regain your strength?"

While she was speaking, the little girl smelled the aroma of the food placed next to the table and swallowed subconsciously.

"Thank you sister, can I just take it?"

"Of course you can, these are all prepared for you."

The little girl thanked her again, grabbed a meat bun and ate it in two or two times, and then picked up other food.

Shen Qingluo observed her actions and saw nothing unusual. After a while, the little girl gradually became full, wiped the corners of her mouth, and looked at the girl next to her, feeling a little embarrassed.

"My name is Mu Lian. Thank you sister for saving my life."

Shen Qingluo bent slightly and looked level with the little girl, "Do you still remember how you came to Dan Qingque? Where is your home?"

There was a confused look in Mu Lian's eyes, "Apart from the name, I only remember that I walked on a dark road for a long time, which seemed to have no end. I was tired, hungry and thirsty, but there was nothing except that road.

I kept moving forward based on instinct. As for my home, I probably don't have a home. I have always been alone. "

Shen Qingluo suppressed all the doubts rising in his heart and continued to ask: "Have you been to Flame Ridge? There is a volcano and hot springs there."

Mu Lian shook her head, "I don't remember."

The expected answer, Shen Qingluo didn't know what to say for a moment.

Up until this point, she had no idea of ​​the little girl's origins.

The room was completely quiet. Mu Lian was a little embarrassed and tried to take the initiative: "Sister, can I stay? I don't know where I should go. I am very obedient and will never cause trouble for my sister."

Shen Qingluo was filled with doubts about what happened tonight.

An increasingly strong intuition told her that she must find out the truth. This truth was important to her.

Therefore, after hearing Mu Lian's words, she hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement, planning to take advantage of the next period of time to observe carefully to see if there was anything abnormal.

Seeing that she agreed, the little girl thanked her repeatedly and promised again and again that she would not cause trouble.

In Danqing Palace, there was originally only a quiet room for resting. Shen Qingluo briefly renovated it, separated it with wooden baffles, and made a space for Mu Lian.

Affected by what happened tonight, she stopped refining elixirs for the time being. In the second half of the night, she just sat cross-legged on the futon, thinking about various possible situations.

As for Mu Lian, she had already fallen asleep quietly, and there was no other movement except for the slight sound of breathing.

The night passed quickly, and in the early morning of the next day, the gate of Danqingque was reopened.

Not long after, monks came to buy elixirs.

Shen Qingluo was always wary of Mu Lian and did not let her come into contact with the pills. He did everything himself.

The space inside Danqing Palace is not large, so if there is an extra person, it will be easily noticed.

A monk who came to buy the elixir asked the little girl's identity out of curiosity.

Shen Qingluo didn't intend to make up a lie, so he told the truth, telling him that Mu Lian passed out in front of the gate last night, mentioned that the other party had lost his memory, and he took him in temporarily.

She thought that there were many monks coming and going during the day, and maybe others had seen Mu Lian.

Unfortunately, one day passed and no one recognized the little girl.

The City Lord's Mansion quickly learned the corresponding news. Since the Feng clan was wiped out, Yuanying in the mansion knew that the owner of Dan Qingque was the incarnation of a certain existence, so they paid special attention to the matter of Dan Qingque.

In the eyes of the cultivators in the mansion, a mortal who has lost his memory staying in Danqing Palace will only cause trouble to the master of the palace.

The environment around Huoli City is harsh, and no one lives outside the city. This mortal must be a commoner in the city. Even if he has lost his memory, as long as he takes the portrait and searches every house in the city, it will only be a matter of time to find the corresponding person.

After some discussion, the city lord sent two Jindan to Danqingque.
