That night, under the night,
In an ordinary-looking house, it was extremely quiet.
In this seemingly relaxed courtyard, there are still many masters hidden in the dark.
An old woman was kneeling in the meditation hall, concentrating on worshiping the Buddha.
This old woman is the head of the Zhen family, one of the four major families. A woman with almost a foreign surname can convince the whole family. Obviously, the Zhenyu family is very capable.
Right behind her kneeling, a shadowy figure was whispering to her.
"Oh? So, they checked all the scenes and corpses of Feng Xi today?"
"You old sage," the black shadow replied.
Zhen Yu nodded. It was obvious that in Linhai City, not only the city lord's palace paid special attention to the people sent by the superiors, but even the four major families also had their own means of snooping.
She thought for a moment and closed her eyes. He softly recited: "My Buddha is compassionate," and then ordered again: "Continue to inquire, and check everything for me as clearly as possible. I want to know the details of every matter."
...
At night, not far from Zhen Yu's house, a dark shadow flew past, and a handsome black horse strolled out of the city lord's mansion.
The outside world has been turned upside down these days, but the city lord's mansion is still quiet and peaceful, as if it is a different world from the outside.
"Interesting, it's getting more and more chaotic now",
Dark Horse chuckled, quite satisfied with the terrifying atmosphere he created in the city that day.
"It looks like I'm going to eat something powerful today to make this body grow faster."
Black Horse looked at his rather handsome appearance. The hair and skin color under the dark skin were like oiled satin, and he was quite satisfied.
The wandering ghost he released has already selected several targets for it, and now it's time to see which one is better to attack.
I saw it wandering and flashing along various shadows, alleys, street corners and under the eaves, not paying attention to the earth-shaking roundup that was already causing chaos in the city.
...
Under the night, another black shadow flew past,
The black shadow stopped on the wall, revealing the face of a fair-skinned woman. It turned out to be Mu Xueqing, a high-ranking monk. Unexpectedly, she also changed into black clothes at this moment.
I saw her looking around, choosing a direction, and flying over once again.
It turned out that the unusual movements during the day just made her feel strange at first, but when she returned to her residence, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, as if she had missed some key information.
In particular, Buddhism emphasizes clarity and clarity, and the Ashan School also emphasizes the role of transparency.
Therefore, she made a prompt decision, started meditating again, and wiped her spiritual sense again during her daily homework. Only then did she realize to her horror that her spiritual sense seemed to have been deceived, so she missed some key information.
So she decided to go out and see what she was missing.
Just as she chose a direction to fly over, a third shadow also sneaked past a shadow not far from Yizhuang.
I saw this shadow hiding on the wall not far from Yizhuang. He pinched a soul from the soul-catching flag behind him. With a slight squeeze, he pinched it and turned it into a ghost crow.
This ghost crow exudes an extremely dark aura, and its red eyes are like two red gems.
Qian Yunsheng nodded with satisfaction, let go and said, "Go!"
The ghost crow flew toward the Yizhuang without making any sound.
This ghost crow technique is also one of the signature spells of ghost cultivators. It is very useful in exploring paths and traces. However, in the eyes of those who are interested, the traces of ghosts are obvious, so Qian Yunsheng rarely uses it.
But now that the city is in chaos, Qian Yunsheng doesn't think anyone can take care of him.
Although he was used as the "insider", there was no dedicated person to guard Yizhuang.
But in order to prevent these recruited casual cultivators from being mixed, there might be various informants lurking among them, so to be cautious, he decided to use this ghost crow to explore the way first.
A few dozen breaths later, the ghost crow flew back, and as expected, there was no one else there except the old man watching the village.
Qian Yunsheng was very satisfied. He emerged from the hiding place, put on his boots, and floated over like a ghost.
The pair of dark cyan boots he was currently wearing were embroidered with blue and purple silk. He had recently spent all the spiritual stones he had left on them to buy them.
The leather of these boots is a kind of sea monster, the blue-backed devil shark. This kind of shark can briefly jump out of the sea and fly in the air.
Therefore, the complete cyan skin with floating effect on the back of the demon shark can be used to make this kind of blue shark boots. It can instantly reduce the wearer's weight by half when walking, and can even temporarily stay in the air, so it is also very popular in Linhai City.
The two runes of "water avoidance" and "floating" are fixed on the boots, which can be regarded as a mid-level spiritual tool no less than an attack spiritual tool.
However, what Qian Yunsheng was interested in was that the Devil Shark had its own magic shadow effect, which could well cover up the negative energy of his Phantom Step.
Therefore, even though the price of these blue shark boots was high and they had a useless "water-proof" function that he could not use for the time being, he still gritted his teeth and took them.
After having these boots, I can move much faster.
I saw that after he entered Yizhuang, his figure was still there, and he entered the room in the daytime in a flash. Ignoring the two people with only human skin left, they floated to the corner of the room next to a female corpse that had been dead for many days and was beginning to rot.
I don’t know why this female corpse died, and I don’t know why no one claimed it. It has been lying there for many days. It seems that it is destined to finish its last journey alone and in silence.
There are no lights in the yizhuang, and the dead do not need lights. A beam of moonlight leaked in from the narrow window of the house and shone on Qian Yunsheng's face, making Qian Yunsheng's face turn white.
...
In a remote corner of the courtyard of the Commander's Mansion,
Mu Xueqing flew to a high place and saw the relic in her hand shining brightly like a torch.
Although the mortals in the mansion didn't notice it at all, it seemed that the courtyard was still the same courtyard, quiet.
But if Qian Yunsheng was at the scene, he would be able to see the endless Buddha light shining down from the relics, making the entire courtyard as transparent as glass.
After burning the incense, the girl floated down and put away the shrunken relic she had held in her hand.
Although this method can detect the situation without missing a beat, the valuable treasure given by the master before leaving will be seriously damaged.
Therefore, if it weren't for the special situation today, Mu Xueqing would not be willing to use it like this.
A circle of Buddha's light was used to explore, but nothing was found. She thought to herself: "It seems that if it's not here, then it's Yizhuang."
...
Qian Yunsheng stood next to the female corpse, calmly holding the soul-catching flag behind him. On the surface, he looked cold, and said in a cold tone: "Why, do you still want me to invite you out?"
It turned out that during the collision between the black lines during the day and Mu Xueqing's Buddhist chanting, what no one noticed was that there was a small black line that was not completely annihilated.
Qian Yunsheng doesn't know what this black thread is, but since he can escape from the demon world, it means that his level is obviously not low.
That's why this black thread can be so intelligent, like a lizard with its tail cut off, most of it was annihilated by the chanting, but the last tiny thread was saved, and it escaped into the body of the female corpse in front of him and lay dormant.
This made Qian Yunsheng, who was standing aside at the time, feel bright and secretly thought that there was a chance.
After all, given his current situation, if he were to deal with the demonic silk that had just burst out of the demon world, I'm afraid his current strength wouldn't be enough.
But for such a small group of extremely weak magic threads that have been weakened, Qian Yunsheng, who is well prepared, is still very confident.
The female corpse lay there motionless, as if Qian Yunsheng had made a mistake.
But from the perspective of Qianyun Shenggui Dao Qi practitioner, this black silk thread had been weakened before, so now he can only hide in the female corpse and absorb the dead energy to recover.
But if it were to lurk in Yizhuang like this and recover at will, I'm afraid it would take at most ten days before it could regain its ability to move.
Therefore, taking advantage of today when it is at its weakest is the best time.
Qian Yunsheng saw that the female corpse was motionless, so he took action boldly.
I saw him first grabbing a handful of talismans that he had just drawn, and then suddenly throwing them out. The sixteen talismans were arranged and rotated in sixteen directions.
After these talismans flew into the air, Qian Yunsheng detonated them all with a slight click and a slight scolding.
I saw a faint will-o'-the-wisp emerging from each of these talismans, and then gathered together.
Immediately afterwards, another ghostly energy shot out from each of the spells, and once again intertwined with each other, surrounding the female corpse.
It felt like Qian Yunsheng used these spells to weave a giant net. This giant net looked like a ghost fire, but it seemed to have no real form and suddenly sank into the body of the female corpse.
Qian Yunsheng felt like a fisherman casting a net, trying to draw the evil spirit out of the body of the female corpse.
"Suddenly~"
As the net of will-o'-the-wisps was thrown into the female corpse, Qian Yunsheng also opened his quiet eyes. It felt like there were two will-o'-the-wisps in Qian Yunsheng's eyes.
With the blessing of this will-o'-the-wisp, Qian Yunsheng seemed to have opened his yin and yang eyes, and could clearly see the magic thread running wildly through the body of the female corpse.
Sometimes this magic thread even sneaks into the space between the worlds to avoid Qian Yunsheng's pursuit.
Fortunately, this trace of demonic energy was extremely weak, and it no longer had the strength to rush back to the demonic world. Therefore, although it was still there, rushing left and right, it was impossible to escape.
But Qian Yunsheng was actually complaining secretly. He looked calm on the surface, directing the giant net of ghost energy, as if he would not stop until he caught the black thread.
But in fact, such a big move, coupled with the phantom step he had just used forcefully to hide his eyes from others, had already caused his injuries to start to show up.
"You should do less things that are beyond your capabilities," Qian Yunsheng sighed inwardly.
His wound had begun to feel hot, and the severe pain was challenging his nerves, but he was able to hold it back without any expression on his face.
But he also understood that if there were no results, the suppressed injuries on his body would most likely delay his spell casting, thus exposing flaws.
Therefore, although Qian Yunsheng didn't show it on the surface, he was actually very anxious on the inside.
At this most critical moment, Mosi suddenly felt keenly that the giant ghost net paused, revealing a gap.
After all, it is an independent existence that has been separated from the monster itself. Although it has inherited some characteristics of the monster, it has been weakened so much that it has become a beast-like existence that mainly relies on intuition.
Therefore, as soon as it noticed this gap, it instinctively rushed out along the gap and pounced on the nearest living person.
Qian Yunsheng had been on guard against this move for a long time. The soul-capturing flag he had hidden behind him was lifted from his back to the front in an instant, and a misty aura suddenly rushed out from the broken flag. , and immediately entangled the magic thread that rushed over.
Although the magic thread was still struggling desperately after being captured by the soul-destroying flag, with the help of Qian Yunsheng's continuous input of spiritual power, he finally succeeded in collecting the unruly magic thread into the flag.
"suddenly!"
Qian Yunsheng finally took the magic thread and took a long breath. Although he was quite emotional in his heart, he did not relax and punched in a few more spells with his hands.
After completely recovering the magic thread, he first put away the charms again. Then he hid the soul-capturing flag that had made great achievements in his storage bag, and he couldn't help but feel more and more satisfied with the soul-capturing flag.
To be honest, if he didn't have this precious treasure today, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to tame this evil thread, and then he would miss this opportunity today.
But what is thrilling is that he did not intentionally expose his flaws just now, but it was indeed the injuries on his body that restricted him. He had reached the point where he could no longer control the output of spiritual power stably, which caused the spiritual energy to stagnate at that moment.
This made him secretly grateful. Sure enough, for opportunities, sometimes strength and luck are indispensable.
You know, if the magic thread rushed out and went elsewhere, he wouldn't even have the strength to pursue it again.
Not long after Qian Yunsheng left, the entire morgue once again fell into deathly silence.
In Yi Zhuang, another black shadow came in.
After she stood still, her delicate face was revealed, and she frowned and looked at everything in the room.
Although Qian Yunsheng tried hard to clean it up, in Mu Xueqing's eyes, the traces of a battle that had taken place at that scene were still as obvious as a bright light in a dark house.
Her heart skipped a beat. Although she didn't want to admit it, she still understood that the worst-case scenario might have been discovered, and the key information might have been destroyed.
She calmed down first, but the pride of a disciple of the great sect made her check it carefully again according to the most standard method.
After a while, Mu Xueqing, who had gained nothing, stood in the middle of the room. The moonlight illuminated her beautiful face, which turned red and white.
She looked at the corpses in the room and didn't know who she was angry with.
"It's so cunning, and it's so clean." She stamped her feet fiercely, cursed secretly in her heart, and left the scene helplessly.
