The desolate forest is naturally very desolate, with dead grass everywhere, dead trees in groups, and black crows in twos and threes sitting on the branches, making a menacing cry.
Zheng Captou was driving a carriage, and Yan Guan and Jiang Wang were sitting in the carriage. He explained: "It was rumored that fifteen years ago, a big demon appeared here, and all the monks who came to kill the demon were killed. In the end, Qingxuan Department The most elite demon-suppressing envoys were sent, and even Liu Xingling personally took action to kill the big demon. Since then, this place has become more and more desolate, as if it has completely lost its life." Thinking of the secluded place and few monks coming and going, Most of the monsters can only be seen in books, so Jiang Wang was curious: "You actually know about Liu Xingling?" Yan Kan said: "I yearn for monks, but actually I prefer investigating cases. Qingxuan Department can practice and investigate cases. place, so I yearn for the Qingxuan Department, so I will naturally try my best to learn more about it." Jiang Wang asked more curiously: "Isn't the responsibility of the Qingxuan Department to govern the monks and subjugate demons?" Yan Kan said in surprise: "Monsters are rampant in the world. If the town and county governors encounter such difficult cases, the Qingxuan Department will naturally take over. How could Mr. Jiang not know about it?" Jiang Wang said clearly: "I haven't paid much attention to it." If Yan Kan is willing to understand, he will naturally know more. Just like a common sense question, Jiang Wang doesn't know anything about it.
He was still sitting in the carriage, and Yan Kan jumped out. Since it was something that had already been investigated, Captain Zheng immediately stopped the carriage at a location with clues. As Yan Kan pointed at a dead tree, Jiang Wang Noticed claw marks on the tree and a few strands of yellowish hair between the damaged bark.
Yan Kan said: "We have confirmed it with the Qian family, and we are basically convinced that it is the hair of the Bai Fu. The Bai Fu raised by the Qian family is a cat. It is usually very docile, but occasionally it can become vicious, but it just has a temper. In the case of Qian Shiyi, Bai Fu has never hurt anyone." Jiang Wang said calmly: "At first Bai Fu was just like a cat or a dog, then gradually he became like a tiger or a wolf, until he transformed into a demon or a god. , but it will still be close to the Qian family, especially Qian Shiyi. It will hurt people because it protects its owner. This place is far away from the location where Qian Shiyi travels to the lake. Why did Bai Fu come here? And it is obvious that he is here with someone or someone. There was a conflict with something." Zheng Captou asked: "Is it a nightmare?" Jiang Wang said: "Nightmares are invisible and illusory. Under normal circumstances, Bai Hao cannot capture nightmares, and naturally has no ability to fight them. The way of fighting is completely different.”
"But if Qian Shiyi did die from the nightmare, then Bai Lu could capture the nightmare's evil spirit in an instant. It may have followed the nightmare, but it definitely did not conflict with the nightmare. There was no evil spirit here. It could also be that it’s difficult to store gas in the deserted forest, so it’s best to look for other clues.” Chief Zheng left in response.
Yan Guan said in a low voice: "This case is more complicated than I thought." Jiang Wang glanced at him and said: "There is no doubt that Wang Yaoqian died from a nightmare. The question is how Qian Shiyi died. I'm thinking , other than the nightmare entering the dream directly, what other person or monster can make her die as if she died from a nightmare?"
"Either the answer is very simple. As we said before, Wang Yaoqian deliberately let Qian Shiyi provoke Nightmare. Then the only question that needs to be solved is the reason why Wang Yaoqian did this. Furthermore, apart from Nightmare and Wang Yaoqian, There are still other things involved in this case." Yan Kan clenched his fists and said, "But I'm even more excited." Jiang Wang was speechless.
Yan Kan also didn't know enough about things that were common sense to him, so he needed to be reminded. But if Yan Kan really embarked on the path of spiritual practice and understood the world better, there was nothing he could do to help.
So even though he had the same confusion, Jiang Wang didn't bother to think. He just silently watched Yan Guan and Zheng Captou looking for suspicious things in the carriage.
Soon, Capt. Zheng shouted. Jiang Wang could only get out of the carriage. Under a certain slope, a yellow and white cat was lying dead.
"It's Bailu." Yan Kan jumped down from the slope, inspected it carefully, and said, "He died about half a decade ago." Zheng Captou frowned and said, "It was also before Wang Yaoqian died." Jiang Wang looked around the wild forest. , said: "The thing that killed Bai Lotus should have left long ago." Zheng Captou said angrily: "The clue has been broken again." Yan Kan asked Jiang Wangdao: "Mr. Jiang, can you tell that Bai Lotus died?" In the hands of monsters, or something else?" Jiang Wang squatted on the slope, staring at the dead Bai Fu, frowning, and then he also asked Yeyou Shendao in his heart: "The aura remaining on Bai Fu's body is very strange, the farther away, even Unable to sense, Huang Lin is strange, but this thing seems normal, but the weak aura looks like a demon and a monk, it is difficult to distinguish, what is going on?" If there are monsters and monks who attack Bai Fu, The aura should also be very clear, and there should not be a situation where there is obviously only one aura, but it is divided into two categories.
Yeyoushen did not answer Jiang Wang's question immediately. He was silent for a moment, and then said: "You'd better leave quickly." Jiang Wang frowned and said: "The thing that killed Bai Fu is still here?" Ye Youshen said: "It's not here at the moment, but there is no guarantee whether it will come back. That is a demon king, and it has very strange magical powers. It is definitely not comparable to the demon king you killed outside Panmen. If you encounter it, you will be in big trouble." Jiang Wang had doubts in his heart, but He didn't ask any more questions and said directly to Yan Kan: "Throw the white lotus here and go back to the town!" After the words fell, he turned and walked towards the carriage in the distance.
Zheng Captou didn't know what was going on. Seeing Jiang Wang's expression became serious, he realized something was wrong and quickly called Yan Guan, then hurriedly caught up with Jiang Wang.
"Mr. Jiang, what's the danger?" Jiang Wang was actually walking very fast, even a little out of breath, but he was still caught up with Captain Zheng in the first two steps. He watched Captain Zheng run past and then come back, and then looked very confused. With an expression on his face, he asked again: "Mr. Jiang, is there no danger? Is there something else?" The atmosphere in front was obviously tense, but Jiang Wang walked very slowly, and Capt. Zheng inevitably suspected that he had made a mistake.
Jiang Wang was quite speechless looking at Mr. Zheng standing in front of him. Yan Guan, who followed him later, also looked puzzled.
Jiang Wang stared ahead silently and said, "The danger is already here." Yan Guan and Zheng Baotou looked at each other, and suddenly saw a figure next to the carriage. He was very tall, about two feet, with a well-proportioned body shape, and would not be affected by it. It's too tall and looks weird, but being two feet tall is already weird, okay!
Yan Kan looked at Jiang Wang for the first time and said in a somewhat shocked tone, "Is it a monster?!" Jiang Wang said nothing.
The two horses pulling the cart were neighing, and they were very frightened, but after being looked at, they immediately calmed down.
Except for his height, the figure was the same as a human being. His clothes were slightly fancy, his complexion was pale, as if he had applied rouge, there was a line of red from the center of his eyebrows to his middle part, and his eyes looked like smoke. At first glance, he looked like an actor. , but Jiang Wang can clearly understand that the other person looks like this, and he is not pretending to be like this.
Although he did not sense any aura from the other party, Jiang Wang felt faint palpitations in his heart. It was a subconscious feeling. When he saw the other party, he understood the danger. It was an unprecedented experience, even the same as when he saw the judge. Worse than that.
Why do monsters of this level appear here? In Kutan territory, apart from Panmen, isn’t there no demon king?
When Jiang Wang was calm on the surface, but actually extremely shocked in his heart, Ye Youshen's voice sounded.
"Mr. Fudrill!" The monster who looked like an actor opposite him was slightly startled. His dark eyes stared at Jiang Wang. Before he opened his mouth, a soft voice came from his throat.
"It's really strange that someone here can call my name." He reached behind his waist. Yan Guan and Zheng Captou were subconsciously on guard, but they saw him take out a folding fan, snap it open, shake it gently, and say with a smile: "Yes, I am Lord Fuzhao." Jiang Wang frowned and said, "You have not been born for a hundred years, and you have been hiding in Kutan?" Lord Fuzhao put away his folding fan, hit his left palm, and said, "You Did he live for a hundred years or was he a disciple of some old guy to know about me?" He looked at Jiang Wang for a few times and said with a slight surprise: "You are very strange. Your aura is incredibly weak, but somehow... But I don't think so. What are you hiding?" Jiang Wang didn't mean to continue, and said to himself: "I just want to find out why you are here. Did you kill the white lotus over there?" Mr. Fuzhao smiled. He said: "The little white beetle is very presumptuous. I ignored it, but it was entangled. I had no choice but to let it sleep." Jiang Wang was a little surprised and said: "So you killed Qian Shiyi, otherwise Bai Lok won't get entangled. It must have a deep affection for Qian Shiyi. Facing a monster like you, it didn't retreat at all. It's a pity that the difference in strength is too great." Mr. Fuzhao nodded and said: "Of course." Jiang Wang said very puzzledly: "What is so special about Qian Shiyi that you, a demon king with high moral standards, can kill her with your own hands?" Mr. Fuzhao sat directly on the carriage, as if sitting on a bench, and said with a smile: "It seems that you don't know me well enough. If you don't annoy me like that white duck, I will never hurt others, but I like to do business, and Qian Shiyi is just my business." Yan Guan didn't know. He asked fearlessly: "So someone hired you to kill Qian Shiyi?" Mr. Fuzhao shook his head and said: "No, business has its own comings and goings. If someone wants Qian Shiyi to die normally, of course that's the case. I have to pay a price. Who in the world can hire me?" Jiang Wang asked, "Is it Wang Yaoqian who is doing business with you?" A ferocious expression suddenly appeared on Mr. Fuzhi's face, and he said in a hateful voice, "I did a bad business, and Wang Yaoqian wants the money." Shi Yi died, I completed this thing, but when I was about to collect the price, Wang Yaoqian actually died, and I did a loss-making business, how can I be willing to do it!" Jiang Wang thought that this should be why Mr. Fuzhao still stays here. The reason is that he wanted to find Nightmare. No wonder Nightmare did not move after killing Wang Yaoqian. He was afraid that someone would fall into the dream again and be caught by Fu Xiaojun.
Yan Guan was thinking about other things, and he asked again: "Qian Shiyi died three months ago, why did it take so long for you to ask Wang Yaoqian to collect the price?" Lord Fuzhao regained his composure and said with a smile: "That was done beforehand. As for what was agreed upon, I am an honest businessman. If the person doing business with me has a need, I should agree to it, because I will get the price sooner or later." After saying this, his face became ferocious again.
"But the damn nightmare killed Wang Yaoqian, and I'm so angry!" Jiang Wang had a slight headache looking at Mr. Fu Zhao who often changed his face. He never thought that this matter would involve a demon king. According to Ye Youshen, , Mr. Fuzhao is the strongest among the demon kings, and he is completely different from other demon kings.
After all, the Judge is essentially a god. Although in the eyes of the monks, the Judge is also a demon king, it is difficult for the Yeyoushen, who is also a god, to truly compare the Judge with a monster.
What concerned Jiang Wang the most was Fu Xiaojun's background. Recalling Ye Youshen's previous words, he couldn't help but look heavier.
"Fuzhaojun is the son of Mozhang. Mozhang has four sons. Fuzhaojun is the youngest. Although he is a monster, they have a very deep relationship. It is said that a single move can affect the whole body. Therefore, Fuzhaojun is extremely difficult to mess with. .”
