My practice narration is weird.

Chapter 26 Another Smoke of War

Out of caution, Ye Wuyou still asked the people in the village.

"Have you seen anyone wearing the same clothes as you?" The old man at the entrance of the village looked puzzled and stood by the door.

He glanced at them and then shook his head.

"It's too dark, I can't see what you are wearing, and who can remember all the people coming and going in this village?"

This is a lie.

Although practitioners would come to the Yunwu Mountains to train, practitioners are not weeds on the roadside, there wouldn't be so many of them.

Lin Qingqing handed over a small purse again, "Master, can you see clearly now?"

"I can see it clearly." The old man smiled and put away the purse, then put it in a drawer beside him.

He looked at the people carefully with his eyelids drooped, then shook his head again.

"No, to be honest, there haven't been any outsiders in this village in the past few days. You are the first group this week."

Ye Wuyou was very curious.

Are all the people in this village so talkative? How can they survive facing a cultivator?

A practitioner, even if he is only at one level, has his body tempered by Qi and blood, and possesses the "Qi" unique to his practice.

It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that they took the head of an enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops, but for the old and weak people in the village, it was like a wolf entering a sheepfold.

Not getting the answer she wanted, Lin Qingqing looked at the red smoke still burning on the mountain with a silent expression.

Have any jailers in Tianlao received any missions near Yunwu Mountains recently?
Lin Qingqing thought hard, and the final answer was.

do not know.

From the moment they entered the village to the sound of the bell, they went out and saw the beacon fires on the mountain.

Could it be such a coincidence?
"Hey, young man, what are you looking at? I've told you everything. You can't take this money back."

The sudden words interrupted Lin Qingqing's thoughts. She turned around and saw Ye Wuyou squatting beside the old man, looking at something.

Following his gaze, he saw the drawer where the old man kept his money.

"What are you doing?"

Ye Wuyou shook his head and stood up from the ground.

In a place that was not noticeable to the naked eye, a dark blue ghost hand slowly pulled out from the drawer and returned to Ye Wuyou's body.

He just used "Ghost" to do a quick check and found that there was indeed only a purse in the drawer, as well as the change he and his group had given when they entered the village.

The old man at the entrance of the village probably didn't lie...at least it didn't seem like it.

Ye Wuyou and Lin Qingqing were both wondering if there was anything strange about this matter, but Xu Fang couldn't wait any longer.

The burly man had a loud voice at this moment, and his face looked fearless.

"What are you still worried about? Let's go up the mountain first. If they are really colleagues from the Heavenly Prison, we will have to collect their bodies if we continue to hesitate."

After saying that, he walked out of the village alone.

Bai Changzai sighed and followed silently.

Lin Qingqing did not hesitate any longer. After all, they came here to capture the fox demon, so they had to search for it eventually.

But when Lin Qingqing walked out of the village, she took out an object from an open space nearby and lit it.

The same red beacon fire as in the mountains was lit here.

"This is to send them a signal, indicating that we have received their message, and telling them not to move." Lin Qingqing said.

Ye Wuyou was at the end of the team at the moment. He took a few glances and was about to catch up when he heard the chatter of an old man from the village entrance behind him.

"Young man...you should come back early."

……

The mountain road is not easy to walk on at night.

Besides, the place where the signal smoke was lit looked close at the foot of the mountain, but it was quite far away when actually walking there.

"I say, there is no such thing as flying with a sword?" Ye Wuyou asked.

There is nothing else to say. Ye Wuyou thinks there is nothing to say about a group of practitioners climbing the mountain in the middle of the night.

Xu Fang, who was clearing the way ahead, heard this and said unhappily, "Flying with a sword? First of all, you have to be a sword cultivator. Secondly, you have to enter the middle three realms and condense your soul and Dharma image before you can do it."

The middle three realms?
Ye Wuyou raised his eyebrows. He had just entered the first realm. This was too far away. "That's why the lower three realms still have the saying of crossing the border to defeat the enemy, but it is almost impossible for the lower three realms to defeat the middle three realms. Not to mention anything else, just being able to fly in the air is already invincible." Lin Qingqing explained.

"Not really." It was Bai Changzai, who had not spoken until now, who actually spoke at this moment.

The four figures shuttled quickly through the woods, but Bai Changzai's voice remained very steady.

"As a talisman master, even if you haven't reached the middle third realm, you can still fly in the air, just like I am now."

He pasted a talisman on himself, and as he was talking, Bai Changzai actually floated up.

Bai Changzai, dressed in white, floating in the mountains at night, really looks like...

Ye Wuyou suddenly felt that he could try to specialize in talismans in the future.

Look at Zhao Changhe, who is at the fifth level, he only knows how to box.

Bai Changzai, who is in the second realm, can use a mixture of thunder and fire when he attacks, and while others can walk, he can fly.

This is what a practitioner is like...

However, not long after, the fairy-like Bai Chang stumbled in the air and fell on a tree branch, with his white uniform torn into rags.

"Sorry, the energy consumption is too great."

Bai Changzai still spoke in a serious tone.

"Okay, stop worrying about whether you can fly below the third realm, we're almost there."

The wolf smoke had gone out, but according to the traces seen before, it was not far ahead.

Ye Wuyou glanced around with a puzzled look.

So quiet?

There were no signs of fighting.

They didn't encounter any enemies and there were no signs of fighting, so why did the other party light the beacon fire?

"No, it should be around here."

Lin Qingqing stopped and checked her surroundings.

But nothing was discovered.

Was the distance positioning wrong? Impossible, the four of them, except Ye Wuyou, were all experienced prison guards.

There are still some ways to judge the distance.

"What the hell is going on? We came here to rescue people, but when we arrived we didn't see anyone." Xu Fang was standing on a tree at this moment, looking into the distance as far as he could.

Lin Qingqing couldn't figure out the reason and could only say.

"The most urgent thing is to get in touch with them. If we can't find them, we can only return the way we came."

As she spoke, Lin Qingqing picked up another smoke signal and lit it.

"We are nearby now. When they see the smoke signals, they will come looking for us."

The same red smoke was lit and spread straight into the sky.

"Hey, bitch, when we accepted the mission, we should be the only team that came to the Misty Mountains, right?" Xu Fang said.

Lin Qingqing was feeling annoyed at the moment, and when she heard this, she immediately became angry.

"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. I have a name!"

"I'm not kidding you. Are there any other teams coming here?" Xu Fang roared.

Hearing something wrong in the words, Lin Qingqing looked thoughtful, but quickly shook her head and said affirmatively.

"If it was a previous mission, I'm not sure. There might be other teams here... but when we accepted the mission, only this demon fox was near the Cloudy Mountains."

"What's down there?"

At the foot of the mountain?

Everyone looked around.

At the foot of the mountain illuminated by the night, faint lights from the village can be vaguely seen.

A red smoke signal was lit in the direction of the village.

Just like Lin Qingqing had lit it.
