Lotus Pond of Rebirth

Chapter 173 Appearance
Bai Mingxi heard the meaning of his words. Although there was a connection, he didn't seem to know the exact location of the main force.

"That's right, the signal here is not good, and our contact is intermittent. Before that, the Maoshan faction-based large force has been stationed in the wild, and it came to this village more than half a month ago." Xuancheng said. Long said.

"How many teams are there?" Bai Mingxi asked.

"Three or four sub-teams are investigating in different places. The Maoshan faction is the main force. There are about 40 to [-] people. The last time I contacted them, they were stationed in this village."

34 people count as a large force?
Bai Mingxi complained a bit. She felt that since it was an East-West collaboration, the lineup should be even more awesome and shocking.

Daoist Xuancheng seemed to see her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Subduing ghosts and catching monsters is not something that can be achieved by a large number of people. A large army of elites gathers. On weekdays, one person is equal to a hundred people, like a dragon." Daoist Zayu from Hushan Mountain, Daoist Qingyu from Maoshan School, and Master Miaoyan from Xuanzhen Temple are all contemporary masters!"

Bai Mingxi was a little embarrassed when someone saw through his thoughts.

"Since Miss Bai is a supernatural being, follow me to look for it. This time, they may be in trouble!" A look of worry flashed across Xuancheng's face.

Bai Mingxi didn't bother to complain about his way of speaking anymore, he thought he came from ancient times.

The two talked while walking, Bai Mingxi asked about Tan Xiaoche.

Speaking of Tan Xiaoche, Master Xuancheng showed a look of extreme regret and grief on his face, and said with deep sorrow: "If it is really what I think, that child Xiaoche...is defiled!"

Nani?

Bai Mingxi was stunned, this should not be more than Chan, she thinks it should have different meanings.

"what is the problem?"

Xuan Cheng said with a long sigh, "It's time and fate, those bastards, seeing you this time, I, Xuan Cheng, will make them pay with blood!"

Daoist Xuancheng's eyes were red, and he clenched his fists and swore to the sky... He just didn't say what was going on, which made Bai Mingxi anxious.

"What happened to Tan Xiaoche!" Bai Mingxi took a deep breath and asked again.

"Tan Xiaoche, I'm afraid he has...wait a minute, shush! Be quiet!"

Bai Mingxi staggered and nearly fell down. After confirming that Taoist Xuancheng really didn't intend to play tricks on her, he gave him a bitter look. It's enough to whet one's appetite or something!
Seeing Taoist Xuancheng's serious face, and looking around vigilantly with one hand raised, she couldn't help saying: "Don't worry, Taoist priest, there are no prying people around."

Daoist Xuancheng turned his head to look at her, "Miss Bai is a probing ability?"

Bai Mingxi nodded, "That's right."

Taoist Xuancheng nodded, pointed to the ground and said, "There are bloodstains here."

Bai Mingxi quickly lowered his head to look, there was a layer of snow covered, where is there any blood?
"Under the snow."

Hearing the words, Bai Mingxi looked at Daoist Xuancheng suspiciously. It snowed heavily all night, and it was estimated to be less than half a meter deep. How did he know what was under the snow?

Daoist Xuancheng glanced at Bai Mingxi indifferently, and said, "Before I entered the Taoist sect, I was also a supernatural being, a supernatural being of the investigation department!"

Bai Mingxi was suddenly filled with admiration, dual identities, dual skills, etc., felt very powerful, so he asked: "The Taoist leader is indeed an expert, may I ask what kind of ability the leader is in the investigation category?"

Xuan Cheng said with a straight face, and said seriously: "Miss Bai has surpassed, how can anyone ask people about supernatural powers so bluntly!"

Why did Bai Mingxi, who had been taught a serious lesson, seem to see a trace of embarrassment on Taoist Xuancheng's face?

The two followed the bloodstains and stopped all the way. After walking for half a day, they came to the place where Bai Mingxi saw Tan Xiaoche for the second time, that is, beside the mountain stream.

"Why do we keep chasing the animal's blood?" Bai Mingxi asked puzzled.

As early as the first time he knew that the blood was buried under the heavy snow, Taoist Xuancheng said that it was the blood of wild animals in the mountains. This at most proved that there were predators in the mountains, but Taoist Xuancheng chased the blood all the way come.

"These animals died of blood loss!" Taoist Xuan Cheng said seriously.

Bleeding to death?

Bai Mingxi knew that although Taoist Xuancheng was always entertaining people, he didn't talk nonsense, so what he said must mean something.

"We have to find a way to cross the river." Taoist Xuancheng looked at the other side of the river.

The mountain stream is about as deep as a person's knees and three or four meters wide. If it was summer, it would be no problem to wade across it. But now it's cold in the mountains and the water in the stream is bitingly cold. Who knows how long it will take in this mountain?If you don't go back at night, you will be in trouble.

There are a few days in Baiming River every month, but he doesn't want to dip in the cold water. Mung beans and green vines spread out, and a small bridge of vines is built with the help of big stones in the stream.

Taoist Xuancheng admired him, and crossed the mountain stream with Bai Mingxi.

Just after passing the mountain stream, Bai Mingxi suddenly paused and looked up suddenly, a figure flashed past in the woods.

"Tan Xiaoche! Wait a minute!" Bai Mingxi ran after him with long legs.

Taoist Xuancheng quickly followed.

Bai Mingxi knew that if Tan Xiaoche really wanted to run, she would never be able to catch up, so she grabbed a handful of mung beans and green vines and threw them in Tan Xiaoche's direction.

Although the speed of vines is not slow, they are not good at long-distance tracking, and Bai Mingxi only has a glimmer of hope.

"Tan Xiaoche, don't run away!" Bai Mingxi saw his figure disappear among the shadows of trees, and stopped chasing him, standing still and shouting: "I went to see your brother, I already know your identity." The situation is getting worse, what can you tell us, this Taoist priest is also a member of your Tan family, and he will bring justice to you!"

"You can speak out if you have grievances!"

"I know you are suffering, don't hold back alone!"

Bai Mingxi wanted to say empathy, it would be best to move him and arouse his sympathy, then maybe he would come out by himself.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Tan Xiaoche's voice... roaring...

"What do you know! What do you know! Don't stand there and talk without back pain, do you think you understand me? What right do you have to say that!"

Well... Although it was different from Bai Mingxi's expected reaction, he still responded.

"I know you were killed more than [-] years ago and wandered alone for more than [-] years. You must be very lonely and have suffered a lot!" Bai Mingxi continued her strategy, because she didn't know Tan Xiaoche's current situation, It's just ambiguous.

Tan Xiaoche roared even louder, "You don't know, you don't know at all! I would rather freeze to death on the mountain more than [-] years ago!"

As his voice became clearer, Tan Xiaoche came out from the depths of the forest.

His face was full of resentment, and he was holding a bloody roe deer in his hand. This roe deer was bitten and injured everywhere, and his legs were still kicking unwillingly.
