"The markings on the map are different from the divination results?" Shangguan Jin's expression also became solemn, "Fellow Daoist Gu, what do you think is the cause of this? Is there an error in the information provided by Wu Qianhu?"
"Two possibilities," Gu Xu held out two fingers and said calmly, "First, as you said, Wu Qianhu provided us with wrong information; second, in the case of the 'Dead Man' There are more powerful ghosts in my habitat, and they have the ability to interfere with the results of my divination.
"However, the 'fierce god' level Kongxuan Sanjin, who has the power to block the secret deduction technique of the Chief Secretary, still cannot affect the results of my divination on Yishan Mountain; and, in my memory, Anshun Mansion There has never been a ghost as powerful as Kongxuansanren in the nearby area.
"So, we can directly rule out the second possibility."
"Even Kong Xuan Sanren can't affect your divination results?" Shangguan Jin couldn't help but sigh in surprise.
As the actual disciple and capable assistant of Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcism department, she works by his side every day, so she naturally knows the terrifying aspects of Luo's first-day skills.
Just two years ago, she had witnessed Luo Sishou sit in the capital and accurately deduce a "fierce god" level battle thousands of miles away. Even the duration, number of casualties, etc. were not consistent with the real situation. Not the slightest difference.
Luo Sishou has always said in a humble manner that the reason why he has the ability to see everything in the world is because the "Zhongtian Arctic Ziwei Emperor" with great supernatural powers lent him his eyes.
Emperor Ziwei controls the latitude and longitude of the sky, rules the stars above, and governs Fengdu below. Nothing that happens in the world can escape his perception. Luo Sishou himself was just lucky enough to get a little bit of Emperor Ziwei's influence. Gift.
However, Kongxuan Sanren was able to use the secret shielding technique to keep Luo Sishou in the dark, making him ignorant of the changes that occurred in Qingzhou Mansion.
As far as Shangguan Jin knows, divination is just a hobby for Gu Xu - he has been exposed to divination for less than a year and has not spent too much time studying it.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for him to have the ability to break the Kongxuan Sanren's Heavenly Secret Shielding Technique.
But he was able to get the correct divination results under such circumstances.
Is this because he is gifted in this area, or is it because he has been favored by God?
Shangguan Jin couldn't understand.
After hearing her question, Gu Xu smiled and responded: "Yeah, I was surprised at the time."
He paused for a moment and then continued: "So, I am now very curious as to why the information on this map is wrong...whether it is unintentional or intentional."
At this moment, Gu Xu's eyes fell on the corner of the map and saw the words "Anshun Mansion" marked there, as well as a date.
His expression suddenly became as cold as ice.
"What's the matter, Fellow Daoist Gu?" Shangguan Jin keenly caught the change in his expression.
"The date marked on the map is the sixth day of May in the eleventh year of Xingde. If nothing else, it should be the day this map was drawn," Gu Xu said in a deep voice, "But you can clearly see that this map has been It began to turn yellow, old and damaged - this proved that a long time had passed since the map was drawn.
"In the files I remember, the official Wen Yannian died in the line of duty along with two of his subordinates on March 16, the twelfth year of Xingde.
"The content of the mission is not clearly written in the file. I don't know which mission he died for.
“However, the fantasyland in this pot is lined with green trees, the wind is strong, the temperature is pleasant during the day, and the night is slightly cool, which is undoubtedly in line with the characteristics of spring.
“And this full moon in the sky also indicates that it is the middle of the month.
"In addition, you said before that the difficulty of this 'Reviewing Pot' trial will be very high.
"So I suspect that the mission we are performing is the one that led to the unfortunate sacrifice of Wen Yannian and his subordinates."
Having said this, Gu Xu raised his head and looked into Shangguan Jin's eyes: "Fellow Taoist Shangguan, do you still remember the poem carved on the jade talisman?"
Shangguan Jin pondered for a moment and responded: "'The human heart is only an inch away, and there are storms day and night'... Do you want to say that our real enemy in this trial may not be ghosts, but people? For example, this Wu from Anshun Prefecture Qian Hu? He deliberately gave Wen Yannian wrong information in order to kill Wen Yannian and his subordinates with the help of ghosts? "
Shangguan Jin is indeed a personal follower who has won the trust of Chief Luo. Gu Xu only gave a brief reminder, and she quickly made such an inference.
"But the question is...why did he do this?" Shangguan Jin frowned slightly again.
"I think our request for this trial is probably to find out the truth behind this incident." Gu Xu said lightly.
"Then what should we do now?" Shangguan Jin then asked, "Should we kill the group of 'lost people' according to the original plan first, or should we return to the Yamen first and find Wu Qianhu to ask why the markings on the map were there? Something went wrong?"
Perhaps because Gu Xu was the leader of the two at this time, or perhaps because of the amazing insight Gu Xu had just shown, Shangguan Jin unknowingly regarded him as the one who made the decision.
"According to the results of the divination, let's go to the southwest and kill the 'lost people' first," Gu Xu thought for a moment and said, "Then we will follow the map and go to the north to see what dangers are lurking there.
"Back then, Wen Yannian only had a third-level cultivation level, and his two subordinates only had a second-level cultivation level. They had no ability to protect themselves in front of powerful ghosts. But if it were the few of us, as long as we don't encounter the 'fierce god' ' Level ghosts and monsters are all capable of fighting."
"Only the third level of cultivation..." Shangguan Jin repeated Gu Xu's words in his mind, and found it very interesting. After all, Gu Xu himself only had the third level.
But then she thought about it, Gu Xu had defeated more than one fourth-level monk in the Lantern Festival night competition, and even escaped death in front of the fierce god in Qingzhou Mansion... His true strength should be Far more than an ordinary third-level monk.
"Have you two finished the discussion?" Next to him, Chu Fengge leaned against a big tree, folded his hands on his chest, and said in an impatient tone, "When the discussion is over, let's set off as soon as possible. Don't waste time here!"
Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin glanced at him in unison, then looked at each other: "Let's go!"
Immediately, they performed the "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique, flying through the dense mountain forest like ghosts.
"Hey, wait!" Chu Fengge was stunned for a second. Seeing Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin's figures disappear instantly, he also used his footwork and hurriedly chased after them.
As a result, there was only a big golden net left in this place, as well as dozens of heads of "lost people" - they rolled around in the net with ferocious expressions and neighed unwillingly, but they could not escape. .
…………
A few minutes later, they arrived at the habitat of the "lost people".
This is a small village.
On the gentle hillside, there are blue-grey brick houses, as silent as sleeping. It looks no different from a human village.
However, Gu Xu noticed that the doors of these houses were locked, but the windows were all open.
They arrived at the door of the nearest brick house.
Shangguan Jin chanted a spell.
The door lock of the house soon glowed with golden light, and then there was only a "bang" sound, and the door suddenly opened.
The three of them entered the house together.
Soon, they saw a strange scene in the bedroom of this house——
A woman was lying on the bed, with only a body and no head. There was no blood flowing out of her neck.
"This is the body of the 'Dead Man'."
As Gu Xu spoke, he took out a "Tai Shang Arctic Demon Suppressing and Ghost Killing Talisman" from his pocket and prepared to throw it towards the bed.
But Chu Fengge's movements were faster than him.
A dazzling starlight appeared in his palm, and then turned into a blazing fire of true energy, drowning the headless woman.
In an instant, the headless woman turned into ashes.
Seeing Chu Fengge's behavior, Gu Xu shook his head helplessly.
Because he felt that the solid essence in Chu Feng's heart contained extremely powerful power, enough to destroy the bodies of hundreds of "lost people" in an instant.
Chu Fengge's actions at this time were simply killing a chicken with a knife.
"Perhaps this guy just wants to show off the powerful true energy of the fifth realm monk in front of me!" Gu Xu silently guessed in his heart.
Then, they went to other houses in the same way and destroyed the bodies of the remaining "lost people" one by one.
Chu Fengge yawned while setting fire to the corpse.
He had extremely expected that there would be a fierce battle here, which would give him the opportunity to show off his skills and enjoy the surprised looks of Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin.
However, what they did after arriving at their destination was simple and boring.
This made Chu Fengge feel deeply disappointed.
In addition, after they killed the "fallen people", the trial did not end, and Luo Sishou did not release them from the "warming pot".
This obviously confirmed what they had just guessed - the "lost people" were not the final enemy of this trial.
"The 'lost people' have been dealt with," at this time, Gu Xu took out the map and said calmly, "Next, we should go to the place marked by Wu Qianhu.
"I want to see what is hidden there."
Hearing his words, Chu Fengge and Shangguan Jin both clenched their iron swords tightly.
The former is eager to try, with an expression of anticipation in his eyes; the latter has a solemn expression, with slightly dilated pupils, reflecting the silver full moon, like a hunting wild cat.
