Jie Feng Palace.
It is still the familiar Jie Feng Palace.
It’s just that the ones we received yesterday were members of the Lin family.
Today we are receiving visitors from afar.
The Bo family in Thunder City, as the head of Yudi Mansion, An Menyi naturally heard about it.
But I didn't expect that they would make a special trip to Tianyuan Town.
The matter to be investigated is about a group called Kidou Six Rats.
Through dispatching documents, there are traces of the Ghost Road Six Rats being active in Tianyuan Town, but this happened a few years ago. In the end, no one was caught, and only the documents were recorded.
But just recently, an additional text description was added to this record, saying that some time ago, the Ghost Road Six Rats once broke into Diao Mansion in Yudi Mansion and were eventually driven out.
The recorder is a team member named Mi Hengpeng.
The hall masters were naturally not impressed by the existence of a little shrimp like Mi Hengpeng.
But isn't Diao Mansion the residence of Diao Deyi?
Therefore, Diao Deyi, the captain of the Yangshen Hall, was summoned to the Jie Feng Hall.
[Povey: 3105/3105. 】

[Bo Yunqiao: 1809/1809. 】
[Bodian: 1964/1964. 】
【……】
When Fang Yu entered Jie Feng Hall, the first thing he saw were these strange guys.
All have the last name Bo?
Doubts flashed through Fang Yu's heart, but on the surface he saluted the hall masters calmly.
"I've met the hall master."
Bo Wei was sitting in his seat drinking tea when An Menyi introduced him at the side.
"This is the Diao Deyi I just mentioned, one of the captains of our Yangshen Hall. Diao Deyi, have you ever heard of the Six Rats of Ghost Path?"
What could Fang Yu say, say he didn't know? This is obviously unrealistic.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Yu said: "...I have heard a little bit about it."
Fang Yu vaguely guessed what these people were here for.
It's just that he didn't expect that the background of that wave of fans would be so big, that someone would actually come from Thunder City to stand up for him after his death!
"Among the six ghost rats, there is one named Bo Fanfan, who is a descendant of the Bo family, one of the ten major families in Thunder City. A few days ago, Bo Fanfan lost contact, so the Bo family sent them to investigate the situation. , find the person as soon as possible."
I don’t know if An Menyi said it euphemistically, or if this is what people in this industry use.
Having come all the way, it must not be as simple as losing contact.
"Lord Hall Master, how can I assist these adults in launching an investigation?" Fang Yu planned to play dumb.
"It's very simple. Tell these Bo family envoys in detail about the six ghost rats that invaded your house that day, and then cooperate with them on what to investigate."
At present, Yudi Mansion is facing the hostility of the Lin family. If it can win over the big families in Thunder City and stand up for itself, it will also have more negotiating power when facing the five major families in the future.
But that's all An Menyi thought. Seeing that the Bo family wanted to investigate the situation, they didn't want to get involved in the local disputes in Tianyuan Town.
Povi narrowed his eyes at this time.
"Captain Diao, why did the Ghost Road Six Rats break into your home?"
"I don't know." Fang Yu shook his head.
"have no idea?"
"Um."
"It's recorded in the case..."
Fang Yu interrupted: "That day, there was indeed a thief who wanted to break into my house, but I was not there at the time. He was discovered and driven away by my men. Since I never saw the person's face, I also Not sure if the intruder is some kind of ghostly six rats."
"It was only later, when my men conducted an in-depth investigation, that I learned the identity of the thief."
"But the thief has been missing for many days. Now he can't be found, so I won't pursue it further. Maybe the thief is afraid of the energy of Yudi Mansion and has fled Tianyuan Town."
"..."
Bo Wei was silent for a moment, and then said: "I see, it seems that Captain Diao doesn't know much, so I would like to ask Captain Diao to call Mi Hengpeng over. I want to ask some questions personally."
Fang Yu glanced at the hall master, who nodded, and then Fang Yu ordered the guard at the door to call Mi Hengpeng.
At this time, the hall master began to chat with Bo Wei about daily life, the customs and customs of Thunder City, and Fang Yu also listened.
After a while, Mi Hengpeng came.
He seemed a little confused. He had no idea that the scene here was so big, and his body was trembling slightly.
"I've met, I've met the hall master! I've met Captain Diao!"
When he lowered his head, he looked at Fang Yu out of the corner of his eye, his eyes filled with confusion and a need for help.
Fang Yu gave him a reassuring look, and he felt a little calmer.
Next came Povi's inquiry.
Basically, he asked Mi Hengpeng what happened on the day of the incident, how he investigated, where he investigated, and finally what the results of the investigation are now.
"Because the matter was confusing and the clues were lost, I stopped investigating."
Mi Hengpeng said hesitantly.
He didn't take out what Fang Yu told him not to investigate further.
But yes, on this occasion, if you offend Fang Yu, you won't have to work under Fang Yu in the future.
"This brother investigated very carefully and had the right idea. It's a pity that he failed to find out the whereabouts of Bo Fanfan."
Bo Wei said, knowing clearly in his heart that the days when Bo Fanfan disappeared should be the time when he was killed.
Knowing the approximate date will make it easier to investigate.
After consulting some more detailed questions, Bovi was ready to leave.
"Don't you need our people to accompany you?"
An Menyi asked.
"No, let's just investigate it ourselves. If necessary, we can ask everyone in Yudi Mansion for help."
An Menyi said with a smile: "You are a visitor, so you don't have to be so polite. If anything happens, just go to Diao Deyi directly. He will fully assist you in completing the investigation."
Bovi smiled and nodded, then led the people away.
Mi Hengpeng was also dismissed casually.
Fang Yu and An Menyi were the only ones left in the room.
After Bo Wei left, An Menyi stopped smiling and said calmly: "The Bo family can't trust us."
"Sir, how could the Bo family be from Thunder City? How could they trust us from Tianyuan Town?" Fang Yu said.
An Menyi glanced at Fang Yu.
"Tell me the truth, are you hiding anything from me about this matter they are investigating?"
"Sir, everything I say is true, how dare you hide anything!"
"If you don't want to say it, let it go, but think about it clearly. You only have one chance. If you don't say it now, if something happens in the future, you will have to bear it yourself. It's hard for us to take action against the Bo family."
"Sir, you really worry too much!"
"...It's best that way."
After a pause, An Menyi said.
"By the way, you remember what I told you yesterday about the field mission."
Fang Yu's heart tightened.
"Remember, the hall master is preparing for me to start my mission?"
"Well, I originally planned to wait for a few more days, but suddenly there was the latest news. The holders of the three instruments began to take action and converged on the same place. I think... it is time for our Yudi Mansion to take action. "
Three utensils?
Fang Yu lowered his head and said, "Please elaborate."
Again, he was prepared to weigh the pros and cons before deciding whether to take on this task.
The wilderness... was still too risky after all. Without any mental preparation, Fang Yu really didn't want to go out.
Moreover, when you go to the wild, there are no demonic forces to call and protect you, and your sense of security is greatly reduced.
When Fang Yu thought of this, An Menyi had already spoken.
"Diao Deyi, do you know what evil spirit is?"
Fang Yu was stunned.
The topic changed so much that he couldn't pick it up.
Weren't you just talking about the field mission? Why did you suddenly ask about evil spirits?
But Fang Yu still hesitated and replied: "I understand a little bit."
"Oh? You know, that's easy."
"If you know evil spirits, you should know that [evil spirits] are not something that ordinary people can be contaminated with."
"The stronger the evil spirit, the more dangerous it is."
"And those places where evil spirits are dignified are called [places where evil spirits gather]. For most warriors, they are forbidden places among forbidden places."
"But a long time ago, there was a group called [Sixteen Immortals]. They seized some things from [Baifenxian Mountain], a place where evil spirits gathered, and escaped."
"Then, the group split up, broke into pieces, and dispersed."
"Unexpectedly, the news eventually leaked. This group of people was pursued by people from all sides. Everyone wanted to know what they brought out from [Baifenxian Mountain]."
"And one of the [Sixteen Immortals] named [Red Immortal], unfortunately, died in our area while being hunted."
"The mysterious legacy it left behind has also aroused competition from all parties and was left in various places..."
"Nowadays, time has passed, and this kind of secret has long been forgotten by people."
"But our Yudi Mansion in Tianyuan Town has a long history and has been with Tianyuan Town for many years, so some records are left."
"Originally, this was just a record in the long history."
"But just a few years ago, there was some news coming out."
"It is said that the legacy left by [Red Immortal] back then is not complete. There is also a mysterious treasure land containing a great secret treasure. Its location information is hidden in some equipment."
"By gathering these tools and knowing where the secret treasure is, you can obtain the [Red Immortal] inheritance."
"For this reason, the various forces began to fight fiercely again, but it has never been reported who has obtained the [Red Immortal] inheritance. On the contrary, in various competitions, human beings killed each other, causing heavy casualties, and the various forces also Therefore, the struggle in this area gradually subsided, and life returned to calm."
"Things should have ended like this."
"However, just some time ago, the body of a master was suddenly found on the roadside."
"There are three utensils left on the body, all of which have the mark of... [Red Immortal]."
"These three tools are the Hidden Ink Sword, the Wuxin Book, and the Chixin Stone."
"The three instruments are not very effective in themselves, and they are not considered good among the instruments."
"But these three objects are relics of the [Red Immortal] and may contain information about the great secret treasure of the [Red Immortal]. Therefore, people from all sides began to secretly inquire about them and prepare to seize them by force."
"And our Yudi Mansion has a unique advantage in this matter."
An Menyi looked directly at Fang Yu: "That's right, near."
Fang Yu:......
Fang Yu: Huh?
"close?"
"Yes, it's close. The place where the mysterious master's body died is not far from our Tianyuan Town. Of course, it's also not far from the nearby towns. Therefore, in this competition, in a short period of time, only we, the nearby forces That’s all.”
"However, many forces have long forgotten this part of history, or have no records of it at all. Only forces with a long history like Yudi Mansion can know the importance of these three instruments."
"So this mission to seize the equipment must be low-key and not cause too much noise."
Fang Yu was confused.
"Does that still mean that we are the only ones in charge of this mission?"
An Menyi shook his head.
"There is no airtight wall in the world. As I said, only forces with a long history will know about this, and they must be close. Otherwise, they will not act as fast as us. As soon as the three instruments surface, we will We can start taking action, but they still need to check the whereabouts of the equipment, so they are inherently one step behind us."
Fang Yu understood.
This is not to say that there are few opponents, but that the competitors will be very strong.
What the hell, I thought it was a good thing, but it turned out to be not good news at all!
Fang Yu suddenly thought of Huang Qixin.
Wu Xin Shu... Ju Ling Gang...
That mud-legged guy from the Juling Gang seemed to have talked about stones, swords, books and so on.
Could it be that that book was Huang Qixin’s book?
And Qiong Xiaolou’s ink-spotting pen, no, that’s a pen, not a sword.
But Dong Xingzhou was indeed staring at Qiong Xiaolou.
Could it be that... the pen and the sword are the same thing?
Fang Yu scratched his head, feeling a little confused.
But he already understood what An Menyi meant, which was to regain the three instruments and find the great secret treasure.
But then, Fang Yu thought of a question.
"Hall Master, what you mean is that we, Yudi Mansion, should have been eyeing the holders of the three instruments for a long time. Why do we have to wait until now to take action? Why didn't we take action before?"
An Menyi smiled.
"Because the time has not yet come, you know too little about [tools]. Some tools are just tools that anyone can use, while some tools are tools that choose people. It is not possible to activate the tool unless it is a specific person. It is equivalent to The monks in the temple consecrate people, and the unconsecrated equipment is just a pile of waste. After it is consecrated, anyone can use it."
So, there was no consecration before?
Now that it has been consecrated, we start to seize the equipment?
Then doesn’t the stupid hell watch it every day, and can it still let the equipment holder run into the wild?
As if he had read through Fang Yu's thoughts, An Menyi said calmly: "There is another ritual. [Red Immortal]'s utensils are different from ordinary utensils. If you want to unlock the secret of the three utensils, you need three utensils to complete the ritual."
"Even the three activated instruments are just ordinary instruments, and the instruments that complete the ritual become keys, and their value is completely different. Although we don't know at the moment, the identity of this [Red Immortal] treasure Whether the news is true or not. But you just need to take the things back first. When the time comes, you can take one of the three utensils as your reward."
Although Fang Yu felt a little weird in his heart, since Anmen Yihua was about this, he naturally accepted it for the time being.
At this moment, Fang Yu thought of Hei Ao and Zuo Lu.
Could it be that...the instruments they want to seize are the same ones that I want to seize?
