Chapter 158: Transformed into the cannon fodder of the protagonist 8

"No," Rong Jin held the branch and drew circles on the ground, "I just feel that I am so stupid."

After practicing swordsmanship for so many days, it meant nothing.

Xiao Huairang touched his head and said: "You can't rush your sword practice. You're only in your twenties. Take your time. Not only sword practice, but also cultivation. You can't rush for success. The more anxious you are, the easier it is to breed inner demons. In the end, all your efforts may be in vain."

"Thank you, senior brother, I understand."

Rong Jin was full of motivation again and practiced sword practice for five hours today.

When Rong Jin returned to the bedroom after a tiring day, he didn't see the little snake, but when he was about to go to sleep, the little snake came back and curled up next to him to sleep.

After spending a night with the little snake, Rong Jin was no longer too afraid of it and even dared to touch its head.

"Suddenly I feel that snakes are not so scary, they are quite cute."

0517 sneered.

Snakes may not be that scary, but the same cannot be said for anything else.

Spring has passed and autumn has come, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

This year, Rong Jin never slacked off for a day, practicing sword practice for four hours every day.

He had a vague feeling of a breakthrough, but it was much more difficult to break through the Golden Core stage during the foundation building stage than before. Even if he practiced hard every day, Rong Jin still felt a little behind.

Xiao Huairang had broken through to Nascent Soul this year. He came to Rong Jin's room early this morning and asked, "Junior brother, do you want to go down the mountain with me to practice? If you don't go down the mountain, Master will come out."

Rong Jin did not go back . reject.

"Brother, when will we set off?"

Xiao Huairang said, "Tomorrow."

Rong Jin stretched and said, "Okay, senior brother, I will go down the mountain with you tomorrow."

As a result, at four o'clock in the morning, Rong Jin was still asleep. Today, Xiao Huairang shouted.

"Let's go, we are going down the mountain."

Rong Jin did not wake up and said resentfully: "Why do you have to get up so early?"

Xiao Huairang: "Because..."

Under Rong Jin's curious eyes, Xiao Huairang smiled and said : "Because I'm happy to."

Rong Jin slapped him on the back and shouted his name angrily: "Xiao Huairang!"

Their destination this time was Changyan County. It is said that since half a year ago, more than ten people have disappeared in Changyan County.

And those missing people all have the surname Chang.

After arriving in Changyan County, Xiao Huairang settled Rong Jin in the inn and went to the magistrate's office in Changyan County alone to inquire.

Unexpectedly, when he came back, he saw Rong Jin surrounded by two men, talking and laughing.

The candied haws in Xiao Huai's hand that he brought for Rong Jin was almost broken by him.

He adjusted his mentality, squeezed out a smile and approached and asked, "What are you talking about? Rong Rong is smiling so happily."

Rong Jin turned around and saw him and said, "Master...Brother Xiao, there is nothing to talk about."

This is going down the mountain . At that time, Xiao Huai asked Rong Jin to discuss the title. He said that calling him senior brother would easily reveal his identity. In order not to alert others, he asked Rong Jin to call him brother Xiao.

Shen Yu and Chen Zhuo, who were sitting next to Rong Jin, heard their conversation and their expressions became gloomy.

Xiao Huai let him see it naturally, and it was the smile that made him feel more sincere.

"Rong Rong, my brother brought you candied haws, do you like it?"

Rong Jin's eyes lit up, he took the candied haws from his hand and said, "I like it! Thank you Brother Xiao."

Chen Zhuo didn't say anything, but said in a gloomy and strange way: " How could Senior Brother Xiao leave Senior Brother Shen alone in the inn without fear of danger? "

Xiao Huairang said with a smile: "Don't underestimate your Senior Brother Shen. Although he is young, he is very powerful."

Rong Jin heard this. Nuan Nuan quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, don't underestimate me, I'm very powerful!"

Shen Yu glanced at Xiao Huairang meaningfully and didn't answer any more.

After Rong Jin finished eating the candied haws, Xiao Huairang asked them casually: "Do Junior Brother Shen and Junior Brother Chen come to Changyan County for business?"

Chen Zhuo said, "We are here to investigate the disappearance of the Chang family in Changyan County."

Xiao Huairang said She frowned and said, "Haven't Rongrong and I already received this mission?"

Generally, missions that have been received will not appear a second time.

Chen Zhuo said in surprise: "Really? The mission hall must have made a mistake."

This was indeed possible, but Xiao Huairang didn't believe the coincidence he said.

Seeing that these two junior brothers never liked him, he just found an excuse and took Rong Jin away with him.

Late at night, Xiao Huairang quietly came to Rong Jin's room next door.

Rong Jin was about to go to bed when he saw him coming in and asked, "Brother Xiao, is there anything wrong?"

His voice was soft, and calling "brother Xiao" was especially pleasant. Xiao Huai's heart almost melted when he heard it.

I only regretted that I didn't coax Rong Jin into calling him brother earlier.

Xiao Huairang suppressed the strange emotions in his heart and said, "I went to the county magistrate's office in Changyan County today. I suspect that there is something wrong with the county magistrate."

"Hey," Rong Jin looked at him sideways and said, "Those missing people It couldn't be the fault of the county magistrate."

"Not necessarily, but the magistrate must know something."

After Xiao Huairang said this, there was a knock on the door of Rong Jin's room.

"Senior Brother Shen, are you there?"

Rong Jin said, "Yes."

Shen Yu and Chen Zhuo pushed open the door and entered. Shen Yu

raised his lips and said: "Hey, Senior Brother Xiao is here too."

Xiao Huairang looked very displeased with them and said in a cold tone: "Are you okay? Don't disturb my conversation with Rong Rong."

"Of course you came here only if you have something to do . It's from Senior Brother Shen."

Shen Yu walked to Rong Jin and sat down in a familiar manner, as did Chen Zhuo.

Xiao Huairang's face turned even more ugly.

Rong Jin felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, so he said, "What are you doing here, two junior brothers?"

In Cangxuan Sect, Rong Jin had met Chen Zhuo and Shen Yu many times, but Rong Jin saw them inseparable and thought they were lovers, so he usually Try to give them some time to get along, and don't let yourself disturb the two junior brothers, resulting in a pitiful number of conversations.

Chen Zhuo finally seized the opportunity and said, "I found out something related to the magistrate of Changyan County."

Rong Jin asked, "What's going on?"

Chen Zhuo didn't give in, and went straight to the point: "I heard that Changyan County The county magistrate Jiang Yue has a daughter who married a cultivator a few years ago and traveled around the world. "

A year ago, Jiang Yue's daughter returned to Changyan County and came to visit Jiang Yue with her newborn grandson. A few days ago. On the same day, Jiang Yue’s daughter, grandson, and son-in-law disappeared together. “

Jiang Yue’s daughter, grandson, and son-in-law disappeared, and a person with the surname Chang in the county disappeared. Is there any connection between the two?

Rong Jin thought for a moment, but couldn't think of a reason.

"Qiqi, I am really stupid."

0517 said: [You are not stupid, but there are too few clues at the moment. 】

0517's comfort was very effective. Rong Jin immediately said confidently: "Yes, so I have to work hard to find clues and not embarrass myself in front of the two junior brothers!"

Shen Yu said slowly: "I also found out some interesting things."

" Before Jiang Yue's daughter and her family disappeared, the last person he saw was Chang Fu, and Chang Fu was the first person to disappear in Changyan County."

Xiao Huai glanced at Shen Yu and Chen Zhuo with his sharp eyes.

The two of them found so much useful information in less than a day. Are they really ordinary Cangxuan Sect disciples?

Chen Zhuo noticed his suspicious eyes, but didn't care.

He was just a monk at the Nascent Soul stage, so killing him was easy.

But killing Xiao Huairang at this time would scare Rong Jin.

Chen Zhuo looked at Rong Jin for a long time and decided to give up killing Xiao Huairang for the time being.

After all, killing Xiao Huairang is a small matter, but scaring Rong Jin is a big deal.
