Wanbao Lady

Chapter 317 Want to Become Beautiful

On the flying boat, some people were whispering to each other secretly.

"There is already a high-level cultivator at the Heavenly Man Stage and two great demons at the Transformation Stage at the conference, and now there is also this Lord Meng... Tsk tsk, Yudu Mountain is really unfathomable!"

"Otherwise our Pavilion Master wants to make friends!"

......

Although Meng Chuan heard it, he didn't care too much.

Instead, he put his hands behind his back and admired the scenery along the way.

It was not until two days later that the Wuyun Pavilion's flying boat finally reached the Dingfang Prefecture.

"We are just ahead of us, Bantong Mountain. Niu Village is at the foot of the mountain. Please have a look, fellow Taoist."

Following Huang Mobai's guidance, the three looked carefully and saw a mountain range of medium size in front of them, with lush trees and full of vitality.

It is actually a good Feng Shui location.

Under the mountain, a small town can be vaguely seen. On the edge of the town are scattered villages.

I guess the Niu Village that Huang Mobai mentioned is one of them.

It was still afternoon and there was still some time before sunset.

Since the Chinese New Year had just passed, every household was visiting relatives, so the place seemed quite lively.

There is only one exception in Niniu Village.

"Look, fellow Taoist. The house closest to the end of the village is where I saw the impostor and the peasant woman. This must be the peasant woman's home."

When everyone looked at it, they saw that the house was obviously more dilapidated than the surrounding houses. It was surrounded by just a simple fence and the courtyard was deserted.

Looking out the window, one could see a dark-faced, simple-looking woman weaving cloth diligently while taking care of a child in a bamboo cradle beside her, looking out from time to time.

It seemed that there was no one else in that house except her and the baby in her arms.

The few of them looked at each other, and Huang Mobai cupped his hands and said, "The affairs of the pavilion are very busy, so please forgive me for not staying with you any longer. I'll take my leave now!"

This is Yudushan’s own business and involves Yudushan’s reputation. I believe they are absolutely capable of resolving it.

Now that he has brought the person here, he has helped a little. He will not interfere in other matters. It is better to say goodbye now.

The two of them immediately bowed politely and said, "Thank you very much for telling me, Pavilion Master Huang. We will say goodbye now."

"Let's just say goodbye."

Then he watched Huang Mobai and others leave.

The two men and the bird then pressed down the clouds and landed outside the fenced yard when no one was paying attention.

When the peasant woman who was weaving looked out again, she was stunned when she saw the two people outside the fence.

She walked out of the house quickly, but saw a handsome man about thirty years old and a bright and lively girl standing at the door. There was a mynah bird perched on the girl's shoulder, and there was a hint of helplessness and vigilance in her eyes.

"Excuse me, are you two......?"

Looking at each other's performance, the two men and the bird immediately felt puzzled.

The other party should have met "Xia Li" just a few days ago, so why is he acting like he doesn't know her now?

Meng Chuan smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "This is what happened. My sister ran away from home recently because she was angry. I heard that she ran to the vicinity of Bantong Mountain, so I came to look for her. My sister looks exactly like my younger sister. I wonder if you have seen her, elder sister?"

The peasant woman looked at Xia Li carefully and shook her head sincerely.

"No, I haven't seen it."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be lying, the two men and the bird became even more confused.

Meng Chuan then said again: "My brother and I have been thirsty all the way here. Can I ask for a bowl of water?"

Seeing the two of them being so polite, the peasant woman nodded and said, "Please wait a moment."

Then turned and left.

When the peasant woman entered the house, Xia Li immediately said, "How could it be possible that I haven't seen it before? This shouldn't be the case!"

Meng Chuan was thoughtful, "It must be that Pavilion Master Huang's appearance aroused the other party's vigilance. After he left, he used magic to erase the woman's memory of having seen her, so the woman didn't remember it."

Bayan smacked his lips, "That's a bit difficult. But then again, that person pretending to be Xia Li was able to deceive Huang Mobai, so her cultivation must be quite high. So why did she come to such a village woman?"

What could there be for the other party to plot against with a village woman like this?

The two thought about it for a while, and Meng Chuan suddenly said, "I don't know if you noticed that it's just after the New Year, and there's no one else in the home of this orphan and his widow. If the other party is an evil cultivator, isn't he a good target?"

Hearing this, Xia Li nodded in agreement, "Let me ask later."

After a while, the woman brought two bowls of water. After Xia Li took a sip, she asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Sister, are you the only one in this house? Where is your husband?"

Listening to the girl's question, the woman couldn't help but look bitter and resentful, and sighed deeply, "He is never at home, and I don't know where he is fooling around now!"

Hearing this, Xia Li pretended to be exaggerated and said, "But we just passed the New Year! It's too much to not be home!"

The woman nodded in distress, "Who says it's not true? He only comes back when he wants money... Alas!" She touched her cheek and said, "If I could become a little prettier and not so dark, maybe he wouldn't be so absent from home..."

Hearing this, Bayan's heart suddenly moved.

He used the sound transmission technique to tell the two people: "I suddenly remembered something."

Xia Li stopped talking any more, after all, he was still "looking for his younger sister", so he said goodbye to the woman.

When they arrived at a deserted place, Bayan said, "The woman said she wasn't pretty enough and wanted to become pretty. This reminded me of something. Last October, I heard that many people in Yinping Prefecture suddenly became pretty for no apparent reason. But guess what?"

"What's going on?" Xia Li asked puzzledly.

Bayan immediately lowered his voice and said, "These people suddenly died one after another! I heard that their faces were rotten! Even the Demon Suppression Division was dispatched later."

Meng Chuan slapped his thigh immediately, "The Demon Suppression Division has even been dispatched, this must be the work of an evil cultivator!"

"That's right," Bayan nodded, "Unexpectedly, two months later, Qinghe Prefecture also discovered the same thing. Unfortunately, the murderer behind the scenes was not caught and he ran away."

Hearing this, Xia Li suddenly had an idea. "Now that you mention it, it suddenly occurred to me that more than a month ago, didn't I go to Wuyou Island with Senior Xuan Chengzi to collect the Three-Colored Divine Light? On the way back, we met a group of people from the Demon Suppression Division who were chasing someone. That person was wearing a black robe and a mask. I guess that person must be an evil cultivator, otherwise he wouldn't be hunted by the Demon Suppression Division."

Meng Chuan frowned in deep thought, and suddenly said to Xia Li: "What happened when you met that person? Tell me in detail quickly."

Xia Li immediately told the whole story of how the road was blocked.

After hearing the whole situation, Meng Chuan picked up a branch and drew something on the ground. Then his eyes flashed and he said, "I am 80% sure that the fake person is the same person as the evil cultivator who committed evil deeds and was hunted by the Demon Suppression Bureau, and the person you saw on the Jiao Boat that day, Xia Li!"

As soon as these words came out, Xia Li and Ba Yan's eyes lit up immediately, "What do you mean?"
