I'm in the world of Xianjian

Chapter 224 Stone Village

The next day, Lin Shen, Zhao Linger and others gathered in the back garden of Linjiabao.

Lin Yueru asked, "Anos, where are you taking us this time?"

Lin Shen said, "We are going to a place called Shicun. There is a person named Wen Hui there. If things go wrong, this person may become the target of the remnants of Qionghua."

Anu asked, "Are you sure, Brother Anos? And this name sounds like it should be a girl's name."

Lin Shen looked at Anu with dead fish eyes, thinking: Come on, Wen Hui is the weapon forging expert in the Legend of Immortal III. If the blacksmith kidnapping case is really done by the remnants of Qionghua, then Wen Hui must be one of the targets.

Zhao Linger asked, "Is there anything special about Wen Hui? Let's go find her."

Lin Shen said, "Although she is a woman, she is born with supernatural powers and is also an expert in forging.

I thought the remnants of Qionghua would go looking for her, so I might as well wait there.

Besides, she should be nearly 50 this year, so she shouldn’t be talking to girls like that.”

Lin Yueru said, "Let's go and take a look."

So Lin Shen snapped his fingers and used the Leaping Technique to lead everyone out of the Lin Family Castle.

When they opened their eyes, they found themselves in a remote village with more than 20 households. Each house was built of stone. A few children were seen playing on the roadside.

Jiang Wan'er said, "Is this the Stone Village that Anos mentioned? It looks very peaceful."

Lin Shen looked around and said, "Yes, in fact, I really hope that this small village will not be dragged into the war by the remnants of Qionghua."

Lin Yueru asked, "Where does the person named Wen Hui you mentioned live?"

Lin Shen said, "Actually, I don't know where her home is. I just know that she and her husband, Nangong Huang, live in this village. Let's look for them slowly."

So the five people wandered aimlessly in the village. As they walked, they saw an animal that was about one and a half feet tall, pink all over, with a pair of wings on its back and a yellow bead on its chest.

Anu shouted to the animal, "What a cute little animal! I want to catch it!"

After saying that, he ran towards the animal.

When the animal saw Anu running towards it, it turned around and flew away, and Anu chased after it.

Lin Shen and his companions followed behind, and as they were chasing, they heard someone shout, "Who dares to hurt Xu'er!?"

A man holding a sharp claw came towards Anu. Anu instinctively dodged and the claw did not hit Anu.

After Anu stood firm, he saw a man standing opposite him. He was eight feet tall, with silver hair, red pupils in his eyes, a white robe, and a pair of very conspicuous wolf ears on his head.

The man asked, "May I ask who you are, young lady, and why you are harming Xu'er?"

Anu said, "I don't know what Xu'er is. I just thought the little animal was cute and wanted to catch it to play with."

The little pink animal flew back and landed in the man's arms, crying "Woo woo~Woo woo".

At this time, Lin Shen and Zhao Linger caught up with them. Lin Shen said, "Anu, you run pretty fast."

The man asked, "Sir, are you with this girl?"

Lin Shen bowed and said, "Yes, I am Anos, nice to meet you, sir."

The man returned the greeting, "Very well, very well. I am Xing Xuan, and this little thing is my...lover, Xu'er."

Hearing Xing Xuan and Xu Er, Lin Shen came to his senses and said, "Oh, it's you two. Nice to meet you."

Xing Xuan looked puzzled and asked, "Sir... do you know me?"

Lin Shen said, "Uh~~ I once met Lei Yuange in the ghost world, and he told me about you two, Nangong Huang, and Wen Hui."

At this time, the pink little animal exuded pink aura all over its body, and after a while, it turned into a graceful woman with a pair of wings behind her.

Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, Anu, and Jiang Waner were all stunned when they saw this, but Lin Shen was relatively calm. He asked Xing Xuan, "How is Xu'er doing now? After more than 30 years, her spiritual power should have recovered almost completely."

Xing Xuan said, "It's not bad, now I can maintain my human form for more time every day.

At first, he could only maintain his human form for a quarter of an hour a day.

Now that there is no significant spiritual energy consumption, it should be possible to maintain it for three or four hours."

Lin Yueru said, "What's going on? How can this little thing transform into a human form?"

Lin Shen put his left hand on his waist and said, "Because she is not an ordinary creature, but one of the legendary Five Poisonous Beasts.

It's just that I haven't cultivated enough, and because I exhausted my cultivation to detoxify Xing Xuan over thirty years ago, I can't maintain my human form forever."

Zhao Linger opened her eyes wide and said, "Why, she is the Five Poison Beasts.

I once saw it in the library of Shuiyue Palace. It was said to be rare in the world and could be used to refine the Five Poison Pearls, which can cure hundreds of poisons."

Xuer nodded and said, "I am the Five Poison Beasts."

Lin Yueru seemed to remember something and said, "I remember I got a Five Poison Pearl at Toad Mountain last time. Could it be that she made it?"

Lin Shen shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, Xu'er has refined a Five Poison Pearl.

But because of her cultivation level, the Five Poison Pearl can only detoxify one person, and it has already been used by Xing Xuan and is now scrapped, so it shouldn't be hers."

Xing Xuan and Xu Er exchanged a glance and asked, "May I ask what brings you here?"

Lin Shen said, "It's like this, we are here to find Wen Hui."

Xu'er said, "It's such a coincidence. Sister Wen and Brother Huang went out for something, so Brother Xuan and I stayed behind to look after the house."

Lin Shen was so anxious that he just threw his hands and said, "It's bad, it's bad, something bad might happen."

Xing Xuan saw Lin Shen's anxious look and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Linger said, "There are too many people here, let's talk somewhere else."

Xu'er said, "Well...if you have anything to say, let's go home and talk."

So Lin Shen and his group followed Xing Xuan and Xu'er to their home. There were three tombs next to the courtyard wall, and the tombstones were inscribed with "Tomb of Chi Yan", "Tomb of Siduan" and "Tomb of Chang Ji" respectively.

Chang Ji's looks very new, probably it was built not long ago.

Lin Shen looked at the three tombs, especially the newly added tomb of Chang Ji, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Linger asked, "What are these three tombs...?"

Lin Shen said, "Chi Yan and Si Duan are the parents of Nangong Huang and Xing Xuan, and Chang Ji is Nangong Huang's adoptive father.

I forgot to tell you, Nangong Huang and Xing Xuan are twin brothers."

Xuer said, "You know so much."

Several people entered the courtyard. There was a square table and five chairs in the middle of the courtyard. The bedroom was in front of the courtyard door, the kitchen and woodshed were on the right, and the blacksmith's furnace, anvil and other equipment needed for blacksmithing were on the left. There were also a few wooden stools in the corner.

Lin Shen and his group of five sat down around the table with Xing Xuanxu'er. Since there weren't enough chairs, they brought in a few stools to make do.

Lin Shen told Xing Xuan and Xu'er about the large number of blacksmiths who had been held hostage in recent days.

The two of them couldn't help but gasp when they heard this. Xu'er said, "What can we do? With Sister Wen's blacksmithing skills, she will definitely be targeted."

Lin Yueru asked, "Do you know where she went?"

Xing Xuan said, "Not long ago, my sister-in-law was commissioned to forge a batch of swords, but they didn't have enough ore, so Huang took her to buy some."

Lin Shen asked, "Do you know who the client is?"

Xing Xuan and Xu Er both shook their heads and said in unison, "I don't know."

Lin Shen seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he slammed the table and shouted, "Not good!"
