Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation, I became a role model of righteousness

Chapter 136 Testing
The two were personally led by Manager Zhou to the guest room upstairs to rest.

Tianxiang Tower has nearly twenty guest rooms, some of which are occupied by people.

“The guests in those rooms are trapped here and can’t get out.

Now everyone can only hope that the Wanfa Sect will send more immortals to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

We are trapped in this town with nowhere to go. Even if we are not crazy, there is not enough food in the town to feed so many people!"

To put it bluntly, you will starve to death even if you don't go crazy.

"Could you please tell me what happened in Xiaofu Town?

I remember when my brother and I went out, I only heard from Miss Qiulan that there was a murder in Xiaofu Town and many people died.

Miss Qiulan was worried about the safety of her parents, so she wrote this letter home to greet her family.

Didn't they say that the immortals from the Wanfa Sect had already come to deal with the situation? From what the shopkeeper said, it seemed as if everyone in the town was trapped here.

What on earth is this…" Jiang Li looked at Shopkeeper Zhou with a puzzled look on his face.

"When you came, did you see the white fog outside?" asked Manager Zhou.

Jiang Li and Meng Jue exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

“The fog appeared some time ago. Ever since it appeared, our entire town has been isolated from the outside world and no one can go out.

It’s not that no one has tried to leave before, but once you step out of Xiaofu Town, you will end up back at the town entrance.

Many people tried it out despite not believing in it, but the result... Alas..." Shopkeeper Zhou sighed, his voice full of helplessness.

"Didn't they say that immortals came to Xiaofu Town? Where are those immortals?" Jiang Li asked.

"Immortals? Even immortals can't do anything. The first two immortals who came said they would help us catch the murderers of those murders.

As a result, we couldn't find them after a few days, and we thought they went back because they couldn't catch the murderer.

It was not until another group of people came behind us that we realized that they did not go back, but were missing.

An immortal disappeared in our Xiaofu Town. This incident scared the whole town to death.

I’m afraid that the immortals will get angry and take action against us mortals.

Fortunately, the immortals from the Wanfa Sect were reasonable and did not hold us responsible.

This is how everyone saved their lives." At this point, Zhou sighed again.

"If it was just an ordinary murder case, why would it attract the immortals from the Wanfa Sect?" Jiang Li asked puzzledly.

"Of course it's because the murderer is not a mortal at all." Upon hearing this question, Zhou's eyes changed slightly and he snorted coldly.

"Not a mortal? Could it be that the shopkeeper knows who the murderer is?" Jiang Li asked.

Shopkeeper Zhou's expression changed slightly. He did not answer the question, but restrained his expression and stood up and said:

"I think it's getting late. You two should go to bed early. We can talk about anything tomorrow."

After saying that, he left Jiang Li's room.

After Manager Zhou left, Jiang Li closed the doors and windows and set up a soundproof barrier around him before he felt at ease talking to Meng Jue.

This time, the two pretended to be mortal siblings, but they did not remove their disguises.

The two of them, with ordinary faces, sat together to analyze the current situation.

"Senior Sister, I don't understand why we have to pretend to be mortals to inquire about the news. Wouldn't it be faster to just reveal our identities and ask for the news?"

Meng Jue expressed his doubts.

“When seeking information from mortals, the identity of a cultivator may not be more useful than that of a mortal.

Mortals are afraid of monks, but they will not tell them all their secrets.

Mortals dare not speak too much in front of monks, for fear of saying something wrong and bringing disaster upon themselves.

It would be better to approach them as a mortal, so that we can get more information." Jiang Li put food on the table while talking.

She always keeps various delicacies in her ring.

Since her space equipment was upgraded, Jiang Li bought a lot of food and put it in the ring, which can be eaten for several years without any problem. The main reason is that the space in the ring is large enough, at least the size of several football fields.

Seeing that the storage ring was empty, Jiang Li always wanted to buy something to fill up the space.

Soon, several delicious dishes were placed on the table, and there was a large bowl of rice.

Meng Jue took the rice spoon and served a bowl of spiritual rice to each of them.

Ever since he became rich, Jiang Li no longer treats himself badly when it comes to food, and all the food and drinks he prepares are spiritual food.

She spent a lot of money to buy these spiritual foods.

Fortunately, Miaomiao is generous enough, so she can still splurge for a while.

"So that's how it is. Senior sister is really thoughtful." Meng Jue handed the rice to Jiang Li.

The sister and brother each took a bowl of rice and started eating.

"What do you think of what the shopkeeper said just now?" Jiang Li picked up a piece of stir-fried meat with chopsticks and asked as soon as he swallowed it.

“Xiaofu Town must be hiding something, and it’s related to the murderer.

As for the white fog outside the town now, I don’t know if it is also related to the murderer.

After all, we still have too little information now." Meng Jue took a few mouthfuls of rice and put a piece of spiritual chicken into his mouth with chopsticks.

"You're not stupid. Let's find a chance to visit Qiulan's parents tomorrow and see if we can learn something from them."

Jiang Li gave Meng Jue an appreciative look. After the two of them had their meal, Meng Jue went back to his room to rest.

Manager Zhou did not appear again throughout the entire night.

next day
Jiang Li got up very early.

"Boss, do you have anything to eat? My brother and I didn't eat anything yesterday, and we are so hungry..."

Jiang Li looked at the shopkeeper awkwardly with an embarrassed look on her face.

"Oh, look at my brain, I forgot to get you food!

Xiao Jia, quickly ask Awang to make two bowls of noodles, go!" Shopkeeper Zhou then remembered that he hadn't even prepared food for them.

How could she forget such an important thing? She was so careless!

Shopkeeper Zhou apologized awkwardly. Jiang Li and Meng Jue both expressed their understanding and were not angry.

If it wasn't for the sake of maintaining her image, she wouldn't even want the shopkeeper to prepare food.

But she and Meng Jue are now two ordinary people. When they came, they came empty-handed, with nothing on them except a letter.

If he didn't eat anything, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the shopkeeper.

The noodles arrived very quickly, two bowls of plain noodles that looked very light.

Shopkeeper Zhou: "There's not much food left in the store, so you guys just make do with what you have."

"It's good enough to have a face." Jiang Li didn't mind.

She was just pretending, and it didn't matter to her what she ate.

"Boss, what do you have to eat today?"

While I was eating noodles, someone else came down from upstairs.

This time, six people came down from upstairs one after another.

There were six men, three of them seemed to be together, while the other three were alone and looked like they were not familiar with anyone else.

"The kitchen is steaming the buns. Please wait a moment. You will be able to eat in half a quarter of an hour at most."

The shopkeeper said hurriedly.

Fortunately, the guests were not unreasonable people and they knew when they could have breakfast and did not make a fuss about it.
