There are many messy posters on the wall near the city gate. No one would notice that there is a palm-sized red pattern in an inconspicuous place at the bottom.
The pattern looks like a vertical eye and a ball of flame, which is very weird.
Every one of these patterns is watched secretly by someone not far away. Either pretending to be a tramp, or pretending to be a street vendor or salesman. In Liu Yi's words, it is necessary to ensure that someone is watching at all times. Even after the curfew at night, there was a pair of eyes watching from a distance from the opposite room.
But after several days, nothing was gained. Most people don't even know how to look down and find the pattern. The few who discovered it just looked at it a few times without any unnecessary actions at all.
Everyone knows that the case seems to have stalled, and that piece of pattern is likely to revive the case. Therefore, the people who have been watching here in three shifts have never relaxed. But what they don't know is that some things cannot be seen clearly with open eyes.
Just this night. A ghost emerged from the ground, surrounded by mass graves outside Langyuan City. This ghost is petite in stature, smaller than a three to five year old baby. If you look closely, it looks like a baby. If Zhang Yan saw it, he would definitely exclaim: Ghost baby!
Different from ordinary ghosts. The hostility and sinister energy of the ghost infant is much purer, and it is much more powerful after breaking free from the constraints of heaven and earth and becoming a ghost. He is a uniquely gifted being among ghosts.
The ghost baby walked around in a circle on the mass grave, and finally stopped in front of a large pit that had obviously been disturbed for a long time, and then muttered: Soul exploded?
After that, he ducked underground and headed all the way towards Langyuan City, and finally stopped not long after passing through the city wall. It was in front of a wall of a house not far from the city gate.
"Holy pattern?!" The reason why the ghost baby stopped was because of a palm-sized pattern carved on the lower corner of the wall. It was the pattern that Liu Yi had people copy and draw from the dry well in the backyard of Wu Mansion.
The ghost baby shrugged its nose, then sank into the ground again. After passing through, it emerged from a house across the street. What caught its eye was a man lying on the window, staring intently out of a small opening. people. And the direction this person was looking at was exactly where the pattern on the opposite side was called the "sacred pattern" by the ghost baby. Unfortunately, he will not know that what he has been waiting for is not an assassin, but something he cannot see at all: a ghost.
Compared to the yamen officer he was following, the ghost baby behind him was much more proactive. There was a hint of surprise in a pair of bulging eyes. Then without making any more movements, he sank directly into the ground and stopped running around.
Everything happens silently. The extra Yin Qi is not too obvious because the ghost baby has sunk into the ground. In addition, the person following him is a Body Tempering Realm warrior. The Qi and blood in his body are much stronger than ordinary people, but he just feels a little cold. , and didn’t find anything worth being careful about.
A night of silence. As soon as the sky dawned, someone knocked on the door of the house. The visitor briefly chatted with the yamen servant who had been staring at him all night, and then the two of them rotated their positions. The latter walked out of the door, poured into the street, and left quickly. He didn't know that there was a ghost baby in the ground not far away from him, carrying rising Yang Qi and still following him closely.
The ghost baby followed him all the way, and finally arrived at a huge mansion with the word "Wu Mansion" hanging on the plaque on the door.
Then the ghost baby started wandering around, and finally found himself in a dry well next to a pavilion in the backyard.
"Hehe, it is indeed here. So the owner of this mansion is probably a saint under the throne of the Seven Red Saints? But it seems that this saint has also suffered."
In the next two days, Guiying found out all the conditions in Wu Mansion. Confirmed his suspicion. But it was too late for the ghost baby. Now that the saint is dead, the greatest purpose of his journey will be unfulfilled.
But what about the blood of saints? Is there a continuation? Are there saints appearing in the collateral lines? These are the next steps it will take. But how to find it? We must still follow the clues left by the dead saint named Wu Yuan.
So Guiying took advantage of the situation and found the archives in the Langyuan City Yamen, and found the part of the file about Wu Yuan. A whole wall is covered...
After spending a whole night searching, there was no need to think about the bloodline of the Wu family. After the death of Wu Yuan's only son Wu Qingling, the world was no longer a saint. The ghost baby also felt very pity. But while searching for Wu Yuan's files, it also found something else: a suicide note.
This was something that the ghost baby shouldn't have to worry about, but the above content aroused its interest. As a result, he frowned at first glance.
Although it was said to be a suicide note, it was actually more like a whistleblower letter, but it was only half written and not finished. And according to other records in the file, the reason why this suicide note was not completed was because Wu Yuan died suddenly while writing it.
"Wu Yuan's only son died first. Since he suspected that this person named Zhang Yan was responsible for the assassination, why didn't he take revenge? If he couldn't do it himself, he should have asked for help from the Seven Red Saint Kings? And his only son died, The bloodline has been cut off. The Holy King has the means to renew the bloodline. So why did the Red Seven Holy Kings leave the Holy Land and come to Langyuan City after a long absence? But in the end, they never returned. I am afraid that this is indispensable with the words in the suicide note. This guy named Zhang Yan has something to do with it.
Hiss...it's not a demon thief hiding in Langyuan City, right? ! Not right either. How could an ordinary demon thief be the opponent of the Seven Red Saint Kings? Interesting, now it’s interesting! "
After that, the ghost boy went through the documents about Zhang Yan and found his residence before leaving the Langyuan City Yamen.
However, the ghost boy also kept an eye on it. From Wu Yuan's experience and the missing Red Seven Holy Kings, he felt that Zhang Yan might not be simple, so he did not choose to go to his house at night to inquire. Instead, he hid far away in a restaurant near Zhang's house. After daybreak, I used the restaurant's view to see what was strange about Zhang Yan who walked out of the house. Then I followed him for a few days. When the situation was close, I returned to the sanctuary to report. It will not foolishly do errands that it is not supposed to do.
But when a new day came, the sky brightened, and a young man walked out of the Zhang family gate. Looking at the outfit, it turned out to be the Zhang Yan mentioned in the documents, wearing a robe from the Military Academy.
But when the ghost child saw the opponent's appearance clearly, it suddenly trembled. It was so frightened that it quickly sank into the ground, and then sneaked in the opposite direction without looking back. It didn't dare to emerge until it left Langyuan City and found a cave that was protected from light.
"It's him! How could it be him!?" The ghost boy's face was frightened. It recognized the man named Zhang Yan. It once saw this man clear out a wild ghost at a mass grave in Chonglan County. It only escaped disaster by relying on the cover of wild ghosts. Even the reason why he took refuge in the Holy Domain was because he was frightened by this incident and wanted to find a backer.
Unexpectedly, only half a year later, he would meet him again? !
