Chapter 1531

Huo Jilin nodded in agreement:

"Yes, maybe it should be handed over to someone who is more capable of handling it."

Just as they were discussing, a group of mysterious people suddenly appeared.

"Hand over the jade pendant!" said a man in black who was leading the group.

Hu Bayi looked at them warily: "Who are you?"

The man in black sneered:

"Don't care who we are, just hand over the jade pendant, or don't think about leaving alive."

Wang Kaixuan got angry: "Hmph, come and rob it if you have the guts!"

The two sides were on the verge of a fight, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Hu Bayi said:

"Friend, this jade pendant is not a good thing, what do you want it for?"

The man in black was unmoved: "Stop talking nonsense, hand it over!"

Huo Jilin said: "It seems that a fierce battle is inevitable."

Hu Bayi clenched his weapon: "Then come on!"

The two sides immediately started a fierce fight.

The men in black were all extraordinary, and Hu Bayi and his men were not to be outdone.

"Be careful behind!" Xiaofan suddenly shouted.

Hu Bayi turned around in time and avoided a sneak attack.

"Little girl, stay away!" Wang Kaixuan shouted.

In the fierce battle, Hu Bayi gradually discovered the flaws of the men in black.

"Attack their left side!" Hu Bayi shouted.

Everyone concentrated their strength and attacked the left side of the men in black.

The men in black gradually couldn't resist and began to retreat.

"Don't let them run away!" Wang Kaixuan wanted to chase them.

Hu Bayi stopped him: "Don't chase the desperate enemy, figure out the situation first."

Huo Jilin looked at the direction where the men in black left: "Who are these people?"

Hu Bayi shook his head.

"I don't know, but this jade pendant must be not simple. It seems that we are involved in a big trouble."

Xiaofan said: "Uncle, what should we do?"

Hu Bayi thought for a moment: "Let's take the jade pendant and leave here first, and then find a way."

So, they took the jade pendant and continued on the unknown journey.

Huh!

Half a day later, they finally arrived at the edge of the forest with their tired bodies.

Hu Bayi looked up.

In the distance, a dilapidated town loomed in the mist.

"Finally, we got out of that damn forest!"

Wang Kaixuan breathed a sigh of relief, his face full of relief.

Huo Jilin looked in the direction of the town, with a hint of expectation in his eyes:

"I wonder if there are any clues we need in this town."

Xiao Fan followed closely behind them.

The little hand pulled the corner of Hu Bayi's clothes, looking a little timid.

They walked towards the town along the winding path.

The closer they got to the town, the clearer the dilapidated scene became.

The city walls were mottled and the city gates were crumbling, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.

Entering the town, the streets were narrow and deserted.

The houses on both sides were dilapidated, and occasionally a few dogs barking broke the silence.

"This place doesn't look very good."

Wang Kaixuan frowned and said.

Hu Bayi observed the surroundings and said:

"Don't worry about it, let's find someone who can help us first."

As they were walking, they found a dilapidated Taoist temple on a street corner.

Hu Bayi stepped forward and knocked on the door gently.

"Who is it?" An old voice came from inside.

"Master, we have something to ask you." Hu Bayi said.

After a while, the door opened.

An old Taoist appeared in front of them.

The old Taoist had gray hair and a thin face, but his eyes were shrewd.

"What's the matter, donors?"

The old Taoist asked.

Hu Bayi took out a mysterious jade pendant from his arms and handed it to the old Taoist:

"Master, please identify this jade pendant."

The old Taoist took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.

His brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed, and his expression became very solemn.

Everyone looked at the old Taoist priest nervously, not daring to breathe.

After a long while, the old Taoist priest slowly spoke:

"This jade pendant... is extraordinary."

"It contains a powerful and mysterious power, but it also carries a hint of evil."

Hu Bayi and others felt depressed after hearing this.

"Master, what is the origin of this jade pendant?"

Huo Jilin asked anxiously.

The old Taoist priest shook his head: "It is difficult for me to explain the specific origin."

"But this thing is very dangerous, you need to handle it carefully."

After thanking the old Taoist priest, they left the Taoist temple.

At this time, it was already evening.

Everyone's stomach was rumbling.

"Let's go, find a restaurant and have a good meal!"

Wang Kaixuan suggested.

At the other end of the town.

They found a restaurant that looked relatively clean.

Everyone left.Entered the restaurant and found a seat to sit down.

"Boss, serve us all your delicious dishes!"

Wang Kaixuan said loudly.

The boss responded.

After a while, steaming dishes were served.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Xiaofan looked at the table full of delicious food and his eyes were straight.

Hu Bayi smiled and said, "Don't be polite, everyone eat as much as you want."

Wang Kaixuan picked up the chopsticks and put a large piece of meat into his mouth.

While eating, he said vaguely, "I've been eating and sleeping outside these days, and I'm so greedy."

Huo Jilin also started eating, with a satisfied look on his face.

Hu Bayi looked at them and felt a little relieved.

Although the journey was full of dangers and difficulties.

But at this moment, everyone can sit together and enjoy this moment of tranquility and satisfaction.

This is also a rare happiness.

Xiao Fan's mouth was full of oil, and he kept saying, "Delicious, delicious."

Everyone ate and talked, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

"This meal is really delicious!" Wang Kaixuan patted his stomach and said.

Hu Bayi paid the bill and everyone walked out of the restaurant.

At this time, night had fallen, and a few dim lights were lit on the streets of the town.

"What should we do next?" Huo Jilin asked.

Hu Bayi looked at the night sky, thought for a moment and said:

"Let's find a place to rest for a night and make plans tomorrow."

So they found a simple inn in the town to stay.

However, the next day.

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning sprinkled into the room of the inn.

Hu Bayi and others woke up from their sleep, but found that the mysterious jade pendant was gone.

"Oh no! The jade pendant is gone!"

Hu Bayi sat up suddenly from the bed, his face instantly became gloomy.

Wang Kaixuan was also panicked and searched around the room.

"How could this happen? I clearly put it here yesterday!"

Huo Jilin frowned and fell into deep thought.

Xiao Fan stood aside, almost crying anxiously: "What should I do?"

Hu Bayi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Don't panic, let's look carefully in the room first, maybe it fell in a corner."

Several people turned the room upside down, but still couldn't find the jade pendant.

"This jade pendant can't disappear out of thin air, it must have been stolen!"

Wang Kaixuan said angrily.

A trace of doubt flashed in Huo Jilin's eyes.

"I think the old Taoist priest is very suspicious. His eyes were not right when he saw the jade pendant yesterday."

Hu Bayi frowned: "Don't jump to conclusions, let's go and look for it."

The group hurried to the Taoist temple.
