After Xu Shenxing emptied his pockets to prove that he had no money except for those coins, the Earth God decided to work for free.
"But that pitiful expression is super annoying …" Xu Shenxing complained even though he saved a few coins.
Because Mo Li didn't have the ability to fly, he was still dizzy from the flying sword. Therefore, Xu Shenxing could only run and jump on the roof with Mo Li as before — he hoped that no one would see this scene, otherwise tomorrow's headline would be "Spiderman in Jiang Jin City".
This time, Qin Xingyan didn't rush back on the flying sword. Instead, he followed Xu Shenxing leisurely.
"That Earth God meant well," the girl said with a smile. Although she didn't belong to the same system as the Earth God, as a cultivator, she still had a certain degree of respect for these existences.
"By the way, Qin Xingyan, don't you think that there are more and more monsters and other messy things recently?" Xu Shenxing asked gloomily, "In the past three years, there were more things than during this period."
Since the ghost cultivator released his ancestor in Jiang Jin, the abnormal events in Jiang Jin had shown an explosive growth.
Clam monsters and Qiong Qi were the best examples. In the past three years, the total number of monsters that Xu Shenxing killed was probably less than during this period.
"I also felt strange about this, so I did some investigation."
When it comes to business, Qin Xingyan became a little more serious. The night wind blew across the girl's cheeks, making her long black hair flutter. Because she might encounter a battle, she didn't wear the heavy black-rimmed glasses that she usually used to cover her face. At this time, under the starry sky, the girl sitting on the flying sword had a different kind of beauty.
"Recently, there has been a subtle increase in the amount of spiritual energy in Jiangjin City and its surrounding areas. Although it's not as bright as a lamp in the dark night, it's still a considerable temptation for most supernatural creatures. It will make them instinctively approach this area."
"So that's how it is … I thought I suddenly became the main character." Xu Shenxing, who still didn't know much about Reiki, laughed and said, "You see, all kinds of things often happen around the protagonist."
For example, a certain elementary school detective was constantly surrounded by murders …
After getting along with Xu Shenxing for some time, the girl, who understood him to a certain extent, ignored his jesting and continued, "In addition to attracting supernatural creatures, a large amount of Spirit Qi will also produce some supernatural phenomena. This is why there were many incredible stories in ancient times, but in modern times, there are only a few urban legends left."
Xu Shenxing raised his hand, which startled Mo Li, who was playing dead. The little girl hugged Xu Shenxing tightly like an octopus. "Mr. Qin, I have a question."
"Student Xu, please speak."
"You've said so much, but you didn't mention why there's more Spirit Qi?"
"That's right, it's because the fundamental reason for the increase of Spirit Qi — I haven't found it yet."
The girl's self-righteous look made Xu Shenxing stagger, and he almost fell from the nineteen-story building.
Mo Li, who was startled again, bit Xu Shenxing's palm hard.
"Ouch! Mo Li, don't you know how to fly?! "
"… I'm a little dizzy, I can't fly."
"Your expression of 'Ah, I accidentally forgot that I can fly, so I'll just find an excuse to dodge it' is too obvious!"
Xu Shenxing's indignant voice echoed in the air.
"Ahem," Qin Xingyan coughed dryly, which made Xu Shenxing turn his attention back to her. "Although I don't have concrete evidence, I have a guess."
Mo Li conjured a ball of water out of thin air, and began to wash Xu Shenxing's ears.
"I feel like that's not what you mean when you say you're all ears …" Xu Shenxing ridiculed with an embarrassed expression.
Once again ignoring the two who were fooling around, Qin Xingyan continued, "Do you still remember why we met?"
"Oh, oh, I remember when you were looking for trouble with me, and ended up being beaten down by me."
"…" The girl's expression became somewhat sinister for a moment.
Xu Shenxing felt that if he didn't apologize at this time, he might not be able to borrow money from the girl for the rest of his life.
Thus, he decided to expose his chest.
"I was wrong, please continue."
"At that time, although the goal of the ghost cultivators was only to unseal the great demon from a hundred years ago, and they didn't really open the Road to the Underworld." The girl's' Ignore 'skill level increased. "But because the demon was sealed at the entrance to the Underworld, to a certain extent, the entrance to the two realms of Yin and Yang was reopened. If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid that the place we were at at at that time was the place where the spirit vein in Jiang Jin passed through … The opening of the Road to the Underworld was like poking a hole in a water pipe, causing the originally intact spirit vein to begin to leak out spiritual energy. "
"That's why the amount of spiritual energy around here increased? Then what should we do now? "
Xu Shenxing pressed down on Mo Li's head, who still wanted to cause trouble, and asked the girl.
"I don't know. Things like spirit veins should be under the jurisdiction of the gods … I miscalculated, I actually forgot to ask the Earth God about this matter. "Qin Xingyan showed a rare expression of regret.
"Even if we turn back now, that guy is probably not here anymore. Why don't we wait until tomorrow and make a trip to the back mountain. "Xu Shenxing tried to suggest.
"No, if the Earth God thinks that we can solve the problem, he wouldn't hide this matter from us. In this situation, I'm afraid that we won't get any answers even if we ask … Of course, maybe everything is just my guess." Qin Xingyan bit his lips and suddenly made up his mind: "Senpai, I want to go back to the Bailu Temple."
"Isn't this too sudden?! Wait, is it my fault for exposing my chest?! "
"No, I just want to ask my teachers to see if there's a way to solve the problem … Also, if you can put on some clothes, I'll be very happy."
The girl slightly sighed as she spoke.
"Ah, since you're going back, why don't you bring a letter or something?" Xu Shenxing touched his trouser pocket and was about to take out the coins again when he was attacked by the girl's speechless gaze. This made him give up on the idea of using the coins as a letter.
Then Xu Shenxing patted his head: "Oh right, there's also this thing."
Thus, he gave the tooth that he broke out of Qiong Qi's mouth to her.
"… Senpai, actually there's no need for a letter." The girl helplessly took the canine tooth. Because Xu Shenxing told her that it was just a small monster, she didn't associate this canine tooth with the legendary Qiong Qi.
Just as she put away the canine tooth, the girl noticed that Xu Shenxing seemed a bit absent-minded: "Senpai, what's wrong?"
"I think I just saw an aurora over there …" Xu Shenxing pointed behind the girl.
"It's just an illusion, right?" The girl turned around and was shocked by the dazzling aurora formed by spirit energy.
