Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 28: The Hook

After fifteen years of joining the immortal sect, the twenty-two-year-old Fan Ci felt extremely anxious for the first time.

Really, she didn't feel this kind of emotion when she woke up from an accidental coma and found that her leg was injured.

In just one day, she experienced a murder, an explosion, and the disappearance of two of her fellow apprentices.

"Can you tell me what happened again?" Fan Ci's tone was quite stern. The young disciple of Wanfa Sect began to repeat the story of "the handsome monk and the monk with a bird on his head" who went to the crime scene to look for something, but saw a human figure and chased after him.

"The Taoist friend with the bird on his head said to leave one person behind to deliver a message, so I stayed."

Fan Ci was about to get overwhelmed. She asked another junior fellow apprentice, "What did you see when you chased out?"

"Senior Sister, the two people ahead of us moved too fast. I only caught up with the bird-raising Taoist friend. But there were too many people on the street, and I lost her after a while. I even used the tracking technique, but I don't know her name..."

"Alright, you two have done what you can do about this," Fan Ci handed the box to the two children with sad faces, "You go back and rest first, we will handle this."

I have a headache, that’s what Fan Ci thought as he sent his junior fellow disciple away.

The junior brother who was guarding the door just now ran over to report that two monks from the Qingcheng Sect came to the crime scene to look for something. As soon as the door was opened, a figure jumped out and the two monks from the Qingcheng Sect chased after him.

After a while, the junior brother who was chasing the man came back and said that he had lost him.

Not knowing how strong the opponent was, the two sisters rashly chased after him, not knowing whether it would be good or bad.

Just a moment later, there was an explosion on the street. Fan Ci was going to send monks to put out the fire and rescue people, but he didn't expect that the inn was surrounded by officials, and the officials from Baoxiang City began to arrest people from Ju.

If they hadn't been wearing Taoist robes, the children from these three sects would probably have been captured as well.

The officers searched the guest room where Elder Shi's body was kept. Fan Ci said firmly that this was a matter of the immortal sect, and stuffed a silver ingot into the leader's pocket, and only then was the matter resolved.

After all this happened, Fan Ci did not dare to act rashly. He took out five or six talismans and handed them to the officers, just doing his best.

After finishing these things, I remembered that the two junior sisters from Qingcheng Sect who were chasing people had not returned yet.

Fan Ci rubbed his numb legs, and resigned himself to his fate, he made a magic gesture to send a message to several leaders of Jingyan, saying that two sisters from Qingcheng were sent to chase the insider, and they have not returned yet. There have been unusual movements in Baoxiang City, so it is not convenient to search for the time being.

Fan Ci thought, I hope nothing happens to these two junior sisters.

Wei Xi opened her eyes and saw darkness. She had a splitting headache and fell to the ground.

It's not the ground, Wei Xi overturned her own thoughts. She supported her upper body with her hands. The touch was very soft, not like the hard ground.

Wei Xi's head was dizzy, and the dark space made her senses more acute.

She couldn't feel the presence of anyone around her, but she was with Qin Feng and the thief before.

Wei Xi stood up, moved the dagger to her left hand, and made a lighting gesture.

The fire I made was not big or bright, just like the cold light of a firefly.

But it was clear enough for Wei Xi to see that what she was stepping on was indeed not the earth that gave birth to all things.

Wei Xi squatted down and took a closer look. It looked like spider webs and cotton, but it didn't seem to pose any threat for the time being.

While his little magic was still useful, Wei Xi stood up again and looked at the surrounding environment.

The range of the light was really limited, and Wei Xi could only see as clearly as possible, but there was nothing around her and she really couldn't find any trace of Qin Feng.

Wei Xi suddenly had an idea and looked above his head with the last bit of faint light.

There is also milky white silk material on the head, and the fabric density seems to be very high.

Wei Xi's magic spell immediately became ineffective, and at this moment, Wei Xi suddenly touched his head.

Wei Xi's fingers touched Lingyin's feather and found that it was still wrapped in the bag that Chen Shuangli gave her.

Wei Xi gently took the plush ball down. Lingyin must have been asleep, and it rubbed against the palm of Wei Xi's hand when Wei Xi took it out. Seeing that Lingyin was still alive, Wei Xi felt relieved.

The question was where was Qin Feng? If Qin Feng was nearby, then where were Wei Xi and the others in such a strange place?

Lingyin also woke up this time. Maybe it was because small animals have better night vision, but she stopped fluttering when she sensed Wei Xi's breath. She called out softly twice and then nestled obediently in Wei Xi's arms.

Wei Xi was in a state of conflict. When she had been a child, her father had warned her to stay put if she got separated from him. But in this situation, not only was Wei Xi baffled, but Qin Feng probably couldn't make sense of it either. If she waited, Wei Xi would only have her dagger, Lingyin, and a half-full water bottle—that damn preserved fruit was too strong.

Since Qin Feng's life or death was uncertain and Wei Xi only had half a pot of water, she had to find another way out.

However, Wei Xi looked up and stepped tentatively. How could she find the exit?

"Wei Xi! Wei Xi! Are you there?" Qin Feng's voice penetrated Wei Xi's ears, and Wei Xi urged Ling Yin, who was hiding in his pocket and refused to come out, to shout.

When the other end heard the familiar bird call, he knew that Wei Xi was still alive, because Bald Tail would never call to him on his own initiative.

"Wei Xi, Wei Xi, where are you?" Qin Feng's voice came from below. Wei Xi forced Ling Yin to call out twice regularly. Qin Feng didn't hear Wei Xi's answer. He was wondering, and suddenly realized that Wei Xi did it on purpose.

Wei Xi didn't want to speak before the meeting, or rather, she didn't want to expose herself to potential enemies in the dark by shouting.

Qin Feng felt relieved knowing that Wei Xi was so cautious. It didn't matter if she was exposed, because he was a better fighter than Wei Xi.

Wei Xi knelt down and used a dagger to cut through the dense silk-like substance. She also wrapped her hands with her clothes to try not to touch these inexplicable things directly.

Using a dagger to enlarge the cut, Wei Xi dug out a hole that allowed her to crawl out.

Wei Xi wiped the dagger a few times, held it in his hand, protected Lingyin with his other hand, and jumped down without blinking.

Wei Xi bent her body to reduce the vibration, which was her experience in bird-picking in her hometown.

She groped her way forward towards the source of the sound. Qin Feng occasionally called out to Wei Xi to show her the way. Listening to the ancestor's powerful voice calling out to his soul, Wei Xi told herself that at least Qin Feng was fine.

When they arrived, Lingyin called out twice, "Move aside." Weixi took the dagger and probed, "I'll make an incision."

"You cut it open, isn't that what it is?"

"Do you have a fire starter with you? If you do, come out and light one and you'll know what's going on."

Then Wei Xi heard Qin Feng groping around, "There are two more, the rest are in the Qiankun bag."

"Damn it," Qin Feng seemed to suddenly remember, "Is it with you?"

"He's not here." Wei Xi found the right place and prepared to take action.

"That's with some thief." Qin Feng said hatefully, but Wei Xi ignored her.

But a voice responded to Qin Feng, "My name is Lian Gouqie, don't call me a thief."

Wei Xi almost stabbed the dagger wrong when she heard the noise suddenly. Fortunately, Qin Feng had a steady hand, otherwise her sword would have fallen and Wei Xi would have been dead.

"Hey! Don't ignore me!" Lian Gouqie said aggrievedly, "Your stuff got me into this damn place, you have to take responsibility to the end."

Wei Xi cut open an opening, and Qin Feng lit a tinder. The light made the two men look like bad guys, but when they saw each other's faces, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Feng danced more decisively. As soon as Wei Xi made way, Qin Feng made a brilliant appearance.

"I want to see what kind of a place this is." Qin Feng stood firm and held up a fire stick to illuminate the place.

Wei Xi probably had some idea in his mind.

But after Qin Feng raised the fire stick, the two little girls were still shocked.

The firelight illuminated the area, and as far as the eye could see, there were neatly arranged huge silk pupae, like some twisted cemetery.
