Maybe it's out of stubbornness, maybe it's out of persistence in your own intuition, maybe it's just pure luck. But the results are real.
Not long after the second combing started, Li Youjun discovered the first vague point.
"The place where the ghost cultivator first exposed his whereabouts was in a small forest outside the east city of Yongchuan City. He attacked and killed two warriors. The identity of the warrior was the Blood Guard Chief of Yuzhong Prefecture. The timing and the target seemed not right."
Li Youjun's discovery cheered him up slightly.
No matter what the final truth of the doubt is, this means that Li Youjun's previous idea seemed to be on the right track. In the first pass, when there was no opportunity to focus on the main context, we turned to peripheral details. Wasn't there progress after all this calculation?
"Haizhu documents have been issued for hundreds of years, which means that the ghost cultivator has probably been hiding or running around in the Hong Dynasty for hundreds of years.
For such a long time, he also had a magical weapon at his disposal, so much so that even when he was seriously injured, he was still strong enough to kill Senior Brother Shen Hong. The only way to deal with the casual cultivators in the ordinary Qi-entraining realm is to chop melons and vegetables. But why did they put the first revealing attack on the two warriors from Yuzhong Prefecture?
When it comes to soul energy, although warriors are stronger than ordinary people, they are still far behind Qi Refiners. I remember that there were quite a few Qi practitioners in Yongchuan City at that time, and it seemed that they all came from a certain treasure that was thrown away by the city lord of Shuangqing City? "
The big box of documents that came from Yongchuan City was not a fool's errand. Every word in it was left down piece by piece by the city lord's mansion, the Yamen, and the secret guards who had been working hard for a long time. Later, Zeng Xianghong carefully sorted it out before he came. Now Li Youjun wants to investigate again, and these documents have been sorted out again. So the information inside is very complete. It even mentioned many situations and atmosphere in Yongchuan City at that time.
Therefore, there will be no blind spots or deviations in perspective in Li Youjun's judgment now. As long as he can take both aspects into consideration, he can consider the overall situation of Yongchuan City at that time together.
Just like now.
"Li Jiang and his deputy chief came to Yongchuan City to get the treasure that Mu Wuchen, the lord of Shuangqing City, lost halfway. I seem to have heard something about this treasure in the door, like a clay figurine. But they But he became the unlucky guy and died in the hands of that ghost cultivator.
Instead of eating something more delicious, choose something dry instead? This doesn't make sense. The ghost cultivator must have a reason for doing this.
But what could be the reason? "
Li Youjun's thoughts suddenly got stuck when he thought of this.
After pacing in the room for a long time, Li Youjun suddenly stopped and murmured: "The problem can be viewed in the simplest way. The reason why the ghost cultivators chose two warriors instead of devouring the scattered Qi practitioners in Yongchuan City at that time is not There are two other reasons: one is not that it doesn’t want to eat something better but that it can’t; the other is that it has a reason to devour these two warriors.”
"Hiss!" Li Youjun muttered with a thoughtful look on his face. Because by reducing the problem to its simplest form, he did find the possibility that he could continue to deduce. But both directions seemed to be somewhat beyond his previous expectations.
"If it's the first possibility, then it's not that the ghost cultivator doesn't want to eat better, but it's just that it can't eat it. This is not commensurate with its ability to attack Shen Hong in the inn later. Either my inference is wrong, or Zeng Uncle Master's inference is wrong. Either way, both are right, it's just the order that's wrong!"
Li Youjun felt energetic when he thought of this. He felt as if he had really found a breakthrough.
Instead of rushing forward, I stopped first, calmed down, and then started from the beginning to go through all the disturbing things I just thought about in my mind.
Wait until you are sure that there are no errors or omissions in the initial context before moving forward. This is Li Youjun’s own experience summarized from below. The more complicated and troublesome something is, the less urgent it is. Because once you make a mistake in your impatience, it will take ten times or even more time and energy to fix it later. Sometimes there may not even be a chance to remedy the situation.
There is a joking saying: "You are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry yet." At first glance, it seems like there are two obstacles, but if you think about it carefully, it is not the case.
"If it is a conflicting result caused by the sequence, the time span is actually very short. They are all within the few months described in the documents in this box. And they are all in Yongchuan City!"
Li Youjun was already immersed in the pleasure of peeling off cocoons.
"If my deduction is correct, then there are three possibilities. Either the ghost cultivator did not have the wooden thunder weapon in his hand when he killed Li Jiang and the others. Or its injury is worse than I imagined. , to the point where I can’t hold the magic weapon, so I can only start with the warrior first.
The last possibility is that the ghost cultivator did not have a magical weapon at the beginning and his injuries did not support it from devouring others. What changes occurred later that gave it a chance to not only obtain the magic weapon but also recover from its injuries? Is it just a coincidence that swallowing up Li Jiang and the two people? "
This is definitely a major new discovery. Moreover, Li Youjun figured it out several times, and he found that his deduction was unlikely to be wrong.
In other words, from Li Youjun's point of view, the powerful ghost cultivator who killed Shen Hong was not so powerful from the beginning, but probably underwent some kind of transformation in Yongchuan City, which allowed him to kill Shen Hong in the end. Hong He fled Yongchuan City.
"The above are all deduced based on the fact that the ghost cultivator "doesn't want to eat better, but can't do it". Then look back, if it is based on the starting point of "it has to devour these two warriors" If you look at it, what is the context?
If this is the case, then it means that there may be some kind of connection between these two people and the ghost cultivator, so that the ghost cultivator will feel at ease only if they kill them? "
The basis for this latter deduction is much more difficult than the previous one. Because there is a lack of information support. That is to say, the details of the actions of Li Jiang and the two were not included in the documents in the box. After all, no matter how you look at it, Li Jiang and the two have nothing to do with ghost cultivators.
"They went to Yongchuan City to investigate the matter of the Clay Figure Sculpture. Behind them were the Jade Blood Guards. They definitely didn't even know about the Ghost Cultivator. This shouldn't be related, right? Or is this possibly impossible at all? "
Li Youjun frowned and picked up the document related to the death of Li Jiang and the two of them.
"Why did you end up in the woods outside the city at night?" Li Youjun was also puzzled by the behavior of Li Jiang and Li Jiang before they died.
"Finally, a person from a knife studio who was practicing swordsmanship in the forest noticed the sound of the body being smashed. He came over to take a look, and then reported the death. Huh? Is it possible that Li Jiang and the two went to the knife studio in the forest who reported the crime? ?! Is this what led to the disaster of killing?
Hiss, but this seems to go even further. It's even more impossible for an insect from a mere knife shop to be associated with a ghost cultivator, right? "
