Half an hour later,
Yan Bingyue's face was flushed and she leaned into Yang Dong's arms.
Yang Dong breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that his entire train of thought had become extremely clear.
"So you came to Jiangnan just to investigate the Ling Qi Kung Fu?"
Yan Bingyue nodded lightly and shook her head.
"Yes, not quite."
"According to our White Lotus Sect's investigation, the practice of this spiritual enlightenment technique seems to be related to a mysterious organization."
As she spoke, she took out a map from the wooden box on the carriage and spread it out in front of Yang Dong.
"These villages originally had followers of our White Lotus Sect."
"But in recent years, these believers have lost contact with us."
"Senior brother also knows that our White Lotus Sect has been surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court many times. Therefore, the middle and senior leaders of the sect at that time thought that we were surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court, so they did not pay too much attention to it."
Speaking of this, a hint of anger appeared on Yan Bingyue's beautiful cheeks.
"Speaking of which, it was only through an accidental action by our White Lotus Sect that we discovered the secret."
"Senior brother, look at the villages marked on this map. There are at least hundreds of them!"
"But the people in these hundreds of villages are alive and dead without a body!"
As soon as these words came out, the expression on Yang Dong's face suddenly froze.
"You mean, all the villagers in these hundreds of villages have disappeared?"
Yan Bingyue nodded and said seriously:
"At first, we just thought the village had been relocated. So we sent some low-level church members to investigate."
"Then, after these believers were sent out, they were like a mud cow drowning in the sea, and there was no news. This attracted further attention from the church."
"However, even so, that investigation still caused heavy losses to our White Lotus Sect."
"According to the believers who were lucky enough to come back alive, all the villagers in these villages are dead!"
As soon as these words came out, even though Yang Dong was used to big scenes, he still couldn't help but take a breath.
"A village can have hundreds of people at least."
"With hundreds of villages, wouldn't that mean tens of thousands of people, all dead inexplicably?"
Speaking of this, a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"The government offices in Jiangnan are really useless! So many people have died, but no one has reported it to the court!"
Yan Bingyue also sighed softly,
"Actually... we also thought about using the court's means to investigate this matter."
"But in the end... they all ended in vain."
"The gentlemen in the government office seemed to have received no news at all, and they did not even send officers to investigate in a symbolic way."
"So you suspect that there is secret collusion between the government and the mysterious organization you mentioned?"
Yan Bingyue said "hmm" and took out something from the wooden box.
And this thing, Yang Dong is very familiar with. Because he has seen this thing a lot in the past few days.
"Southern Xinjiang Blood Jade?"
Yan Bingyue nodded gently,
"During the investigation, our people discovered some southern Xinjiang blood jade that had lost its effectiveness, and this incident itself is very intriguing."
"The villagers in these villages are all ordinary people. Where did they get so many Southern Xinjiang blood jade? And they also used it..."
Yang Dong frowned,
"Do you suspect that someone is using the villagers to practice or perfect the spiritual enlightenment technique?"
Yan Bingyue nodded again,
"Yes, due to the special nature of the southern Xinjiang blood jade, in this world, only those who have practiced the spiritual enlightenment technique can use its special effects."
"That's why I came to Southern Xinjiang this time to investigate this spiritual enlightenment technique and who was responsible for brutally killing so many people!"
Yang Dong pondered for a moment and then said:
"But... as far as I know, this spiritual enlightenment technique is quite popular in the Jiangnan area. Every family, big or small, always has a few guards who know the spiritual enlightenment technique."
"It's hard to get results if you investigate like this."
"Senior brother, if you think so, you will really underestimate our White Lotus Sect."
Yan Bingyue shook her head, a look of pride flashed in her eyes.
"Our White Lotus Sect is one of the best sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the information we have is as good as yours at Xichang."
"According to our investigation, the spiritual enlightenment techniques that are popular in Jiangnan today are actually spread from an organization called 'Huan'."
"It's just that this organization is too mysterious. We at the White Lotus Sect have been investigating for more than half a year, but we have only found some clues. As for their core members, we know nothing about it."
Yang Dong nodded. He felt that it was necessary to exchange the information in his hands with Yan Bingyue, so he said:
"There is indeed a great connection between Qiling Cultivation Technique and Southern Xinjiang Blood Jade."
"But... I came to Jiangnan this time and made some new discoveries..."
Later, Yang Dong told Yan Bingyue all about the corpse in Gujing he encountered and the changes in Lao Liu.
Looking at Yan Bingyue's shocked expression, Yang Dong's heart sank.
Obviously, even with the strength of the White Lotus Sect, it has never been found that the Southern Xinjiang Blood Jade can temporarily resurrect the dead.
But in this case, why did he let himself encounter it?
Could it be that...their appearance was all because of his arrival in Jiangnan?
Such a possibility suddenly emerged in Yang Dong's mind. Immediately afterwards, his back was soaked with cold sweat!
Obviously, he was likely to have been targeted when he arrived in Jiangnan.
He even wondered whether someone had secretly discovered something when he left Beijing.
Otherwise, why did the ancient corpse and Lao Liu appear in front of him?
The water in Jiangnan is not only deep, it is clearly a fucking swamp!
On the other side, Yan Bingyue also had a gloomy face.
She didn't expect that this Southern Xinjiang Blood Jade, besides being related to the Ling Qing Cultivation Technique, could have such a unique effect!
"Senior brother, do you have any doubts?"
Yang Dong shook his head gently,
"I feel like I'm being targeted. Maybe the person behind the scenes wanted to kill me when I was under the ancient well."
"It's just that he misjudged my strength, so he didn't succeed."
"As for Lao Liu...it's obvious that he is just a chess piece. He may be trying to ask for directions, or he may have other plans."
"All in all, every move I make now, including yours, may be being watched."
Yan Bingyue was convinced, and a look of vigilance appeared on her cheeks.
"In this case, senior brother, do you have any next plans?"
Yang Dong thought for a moment and was about to speak, but his ears suddenly moved!
"careful!"
He shouted and almost subconsciously protected Yan Bingyue in his arms.
At the same time, he mobilized the power of Qi and blood all over his body to hold him and Bingbing in his arms.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of fire exploded!
The carriage, which was originally intact, fell into pieces in an instant.
