The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

Chapter 159: Strange Things in the Theater (7)

Mu Hanxing rolled her eyes at him, looked around at the people in the inn and continued to ask: "Can you guys tell me what strange things you have encountered recently?"

The maid spoke first: "A few days ago, my young lady and I were staying at an inn on Fourteenth Street. We heard a woman's laughter in the middle of the night... At first we thought it was a guest living next door... Later, we heard that there was no one living next door to us..."

When this matter was mentioned, the lady's face turned pale and she sat at the table without saying a word.

"This damn place, you can't go out in the middle of the night." The butcher took over and continued, "Before, Susu, my family's handyman A Shun and I lived in another inn. When we got up at night, I saw A Shun go out. He was in a weird mood and said that he must leave at night. Of course I didn't agree. I still had to rely on him for purchasing and transporting goods. Besides, it would be dangerous for him to go out alone. I wanted to drag him back, but he was like a madman, shaking me off and running out. After I chased him out, I found that there was not even a moon in this damn place. I chased him for a while, but he ran too fast and I didn't dare to go far. Then I watched the darkness in front of me and A Shun disappeared. Then, I heard his screams..."

The butcher felt a chill on his back when he thought of this. He swallowed and continued, "Anyway, the scream was too miserable, as if someone was pulling out my tendons and skinning me. When I heard that sound, my legs went weak for a moment, and I quickly ran back. I was lucky to have saved my life."

"There is something in front of us. Can you see it clearly?" Feng Xiao asked cautiously.

The butcher shook his head. "I've already told you that there's no moon in this city at night. The only light comes from the lanterns hanging in the roadside shops. Ah Shun disappeared in a flash, and I couldn't see him in the middle of the night."

After saying that, he added a little embarrassedly: "I... I am afraid of the dark, so I dare not go over to see."

The woman named Susu sighed and said, "Then, Guangsheng and I went all over the city to look for Ah Shun as soon as daylight came. We also looked for him at the city gate, but we couldn't find him at all. I thought... he might be in danger."

"Anything else?" Jingchen looked at the others and asked.

At this time, the fortune teller said, "I don't know if this is a strange thing, but before I came to Ziyun Inn, a guard took the initiative to ask me for help during the day."

As soon as he said this, everyone in the inn looked at him.

Mu Hanxing asked hurriedly: "The guard took the initiative to find you? What help did he provide?"

The fortune teller continued calmly, "They said the troupe was short of staff and asked me if I could go and help them with the materials. I thought if I refused, nothing good would happen, so I went. Then I was taken to a workshop by the guards. There were also these two young masters in the workshop at the time."

The fortune teller took a look at Gong Yu and Chun Tao, who had transformed into a man.

"Are you three helping the troupe? Does loading materials mean coloring?" Mu Hanxing asked.

Chun Tao nodded, "Yes, we met this half-immortal in the workshop, and then Lord Gong and the half-immortal calculated the auspicious and inauspicious places in the city, and then they found this Ziyun Inn together. Not only is this place the second master's house, but most importantly, it has the most yang energy, so the demons dare not approach."

It turned out to be the case.

"But Chuntao and I were asked to carve the cowhide, not to feed the materials," Gong Yu added.

He was filled with resentment when he thought back to the past days. He, the imperial master of Fuyue City, was trapped here, entangled by evil ghosts who had practiced the ghost arts and was isolated and helpless. The only person who could break the maze, the city lord, was nowhere to be found. He happened to enter the theater city just to look for her.

But after seeing her today and knowing that she was fine and still with those two useless male favorites by her side, he felt that there was hope for him to leave the city.

"In other words, you were asked to carve and paint the cowhide. After you completed the task, the guards let you leave the workshop. After that, the two of you worked out the Ziyun Inn where you could take refuge, and you have been waiting here to gather all the living people, right?" Mu Hanxing concluded.

Chun Tao sighed with emotion. Not only did the city lord still look as good as before, but his mind became more agile. He nodded quickly and said, "That's right. After I knew the city lord was in trouble, I took Chenchen down to the mortal world to look for him. I first went to the Heart-Searching Gate. Chenchen was probably more familiar with Lord Gong's smell, after all, he had looked for him once before, so I quickly reunited with Lord Gong. I didn't expect that we would both be in trouble here and couldn't get out."

She almost knew the whole story.

"Where did Chenchen go?" Jingchen's expression changed slightly.

He was a little worried. After all, Chenchen was his... In essence... Chenchen was born by absorbing his spiritual power, so she could be considered his child.

"It's a fairy spirit, and it can't stay in a place with such heavy yin energy, so it has been in a state of lack of energy. Now it's sleeping in the room upstairs." Chuntao's face was also full of worry.

Since Jingchen had taken over his lines, Mu Hanxing had no choice but to say, "Chuntao, you continue to take good care of Chenchen. I will go out of the city with the others to find the center of the formation."

"It's dark now! I just told you that you can't go out at night!" said the butcher named Guangsheng in a harsh voice. This man seemed both rude and timid.

"Don't go out today. We need to think of a solution. The rest of you go back to your rooms and rest." Mu Hanxing ordered seriously.

She had good intentions, but Cui Ren looked at her and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, as a person possessed by the devil, do you dare to continue to take care of chores for the Heart-to-Heart Sect with a sanctimonious appearance?"

This time, before she could respond, Jing Chen said coldly, "The City Lord came to Xicheng this time on the orders of Elder Tang. Since it is the order of the elder, it is her duty and she should do her best. The City Lord will find ways to break the eye of the formation and take everyone out, but the prerequisite is that there are no people who are so annoying to her."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and their eyes turned to Mu Hanxing.

She appears calm and composed on the surface, but inside she is raging and roaring.

Jingchen, Jingchen, can you stop bragging for me?

She herself was not even sure she could find the center of the formation!

It is not easy to find the center of the formation in such a big city. There are also evil spirits interfering all around. With her current spiritual roots, she may not be able to defeat the "real boss".

"This girl... are you also a cultivator? Can you really take us out?" The maid asked her in a low voice. It seemed that the little girl had been frightened for several days. She was in a listless and cautious state.

At this critical moment, she didn't dare to promise anything, so she could only try her best, and said to everyone: "Anyway, since you can't go out at night, you should go back to your room and rest. I will think of a way, Master Cui."

As she spoke, she glanced at Cui Ren who was still glaring at her, and continued, "You haven't returned to the mountain for a long time, and everyone is very worried. If there is any grudge, we can settle it when we return to the mountain. Fortunately, my master has mastered advanced barrier techniques and passed them on to me. Otherwise, Elder Cui's life... I want to save him, but I am powerless."

"You..." Cui Ren was so angry that his whole face was shaking, but his life was more precious than anything else, so he snorted coldly and returned to his room with his two disciples.
