Li Youjun's deduction is still going on. He started from the beginning of "Li Jiang and the two corpses in the forest" and worked backwards. He did not miss every detail. He also gave up the previous method of focusing on the ghost cultivators themselves and focused on the seemingly unknown. Investigation of events that were recorded in the documents due to being involved or just implicated.
Then the next doubt appeared again. Even when Li Youjun sorted it out by himself the previous time, he completely missed this doubt.
"Haha, these accounts are interesting. They are all running accounts. They look much easier than the complicated notations in the door. They are simple and clear at a glance."
This account was copied, the total number before and after is not large, and the entry and exit are clear. It was an incident involving the first confrontation between the ghost cultivator and the city lord's mansion.
At that time, the city lord's palace wanted to take advantage of the evil spirits who were killing people everywhere in Yongchuan City. But in the end, he accidentally bumped into a ghost cultivator who possessed a girl.
In the end, the siege of the City Lord's Mansion failed, not only injuring several Qi Refiners, but nothing was gained. After a careful search, the sister's body was finally found, as well as the remaining fragments of the demon cultivator that had been devoured.
In other words, the ghost cultivator hid the evil spirits and the people in the Lord's Mansion of Yongchuan City in this chaotic war, and became the biggest winner. And it can be seen that the goals of the ghost cultivators are actually the same as those of the people in the city lord's mansion, they are all aiming at evil spirits.
The only difference is that the City Lord Mansion is for eliminating harm, while the Ghost Cultivator is for nourishing and healing.
What the accounts confirmed was the origin of the dead sister who was least valued in this chaotic war. It was bought from Yakouchi and then handed over by a pimp in Yongchuan City.
"Um?"
I didn't have any hope at first, but when Li Youjun was about to put down the account book, he suddenly saw a red check mark on an item that had not been verified when copying the account book. It looks a little weird being alone in the account.
But because the accounts themselves did not have any excavation significance, even Li Youjun did not notice this when he looked through them for the first time. Even now, he almost missed it the second time. If he hadn't held on to the possibility of never letting go, he would have given up reading the ledger again. Because the meaning of this account book is just to prove an insignificant sister. No one cares.
But it was precisely because of his persistence in finding clues that Li Youjun was able to discover Xian's clues unintentionally.
"Isn't it obvious that this account was added later? Or was it overlooked during the reconciliation?"
"On the ninth day of November, I went out with my mouth open and bought my sister Huang Cui for sixty-six yuan."
"Huang Cui?!"
Li Youjun quickly flipped through the document and quickly found the description of the case in which the ghost cultivator made a profit. One paragraph describes it this way:
There are five girls named Liu Yan, Liu Ping, Huang Cui, Wang Mei, and Zhang Lan. They were placed on Yuhua Street by the pimp Ma Liujing as bait. After that, several people from the city guard were injured and Huang Cui and the evil black mist were lost. When they were traced the next day, Huang Cui was already in pieces, and Yao Xie had only fragments left, and both were dead.
Sure enough!
"Huang Cui is the sister who was possessed by the ghost cultivator at the beginning! It is precisely because of this that the ghost cultivator was able to hide from the Qi Refiners of the Lord's Mansion of Yongchuan City, and at the same time hide the demon cultivator, and finally succeeded.
There were five sisters in total, but only the girl named Huang Cui, who was possessed by the ghost cultivator, had not checked her accounts. Is this a coincidence? It's really unreasonable.
Keep this doubt in mind for now! "
Li Youjun continued to comb through the details, but could no longer find anything that could be used as a point of doubt.
Frowning slightly, Li Youjun was obviously not satisfied with the results of his second careful combing. He originally thought that he could figure out two doubts in the front and middle sections, and he should also be able to gain something later. And compared to the two previous doubts, he felt that the later doubts related to Shen Hong deserved more attention.
But the result is that there is no more. It’s as uncomfortable as feeling like you’ve tasted something sweet and you’re about to gorge yourself on something, but your plate has been taken away.
"this"
Li Youjun had to prepare to sort it out again. I even indulged in it for two consecutive days and even neglected the most basic homework. But the result was still the same. He combed through it three times in total, but still only found the two doubtful points he found the second time.
"It seems that if we want to continue digging, we can only dig deeper from these two doubtful points." Although Li Youjun is not satisfied with the result, he is also sober. With his ability, he can only deduce this far based on the information in his hand. step. Unless something new is discovered.
In fact, there are two doubts. The key to Li Youjun's dissatisfaction is that these two doubts are not directly related to the ghost cultivator, and they are both side points. Maybe these doubts can dig up something, maybe it's just a waste of time.
"But how to get to Yongchuan City again?" Li Youjun felt a little irritable.
After putting away the things in the box, Li Youjun was ready to go out for some air. In the past ten days, all his thoughts were focused on identifying and deducing clues about the ghost cultivator. The energy consumption is huge. It's okay when he is concentrating on it, and he doesn't feel tired. After all, he is also a monk in the Xuanmai realm, so he is much better than ordinary people.
But now that he had freed his mind, the tiredness still came over him, making Li Youjun feel a headache.
After leaving the house, I walked into the woods, planning to follow the forest path to the creek behind to ask for a cup of tea from my fellow disciples. By the way, let’s talk about anything interesting these days. Use this to change your mind.
However, when Li Youjun just turned into the mountain road of the creek, a series of crisp ringing sounds rang in his ears.
"This is Master's soul bell! Master, have you summoned me for something?"
Soul Bell, no matter the inner or outer sect of Huangmen Yun Sect, anyone who has a disciple will be familiar with Soul Bell. When you are apprenticed, the master will draw the soul wave into the soul bell as a mark. If you shake the soul bell, you can "hear" the bell immediately no matter where you are, and you will know that the master has something to call back to the master's door. But others will not know.
Li Youjun did not dare to neglect. Normally, Master would not ring the bell. When the bell is rang, something big will happen.
So when Li Youjun arrived at Master's residence, seven people were already standing in the main hall. Counting Li Youjun and the people who came in one after another, there were a total of eleven people. There are still two senior sisters who have been away from home for more than a year.
"Everyone is here. I'm going to invite Master."
"Thank you, senior brother!"
After a while, a middle-aged man who was rather thin and not very tall walked in from behind. This person is none other than Li Youjun's master, Zuo Ming, one of the deacons of the outer sect of the Imperial Sect's Yun Sect, and a Qi Refiner in the early stage of the Dao Dan Realm.
"Disciple, meet your master!"
"Well, don't stand still. Find a place to sit down before we talk."
"Thank you Master!"
Zuo Ming has many disciples, but they are not very disciplined. He is also very kind and has a wide network of contacts in the outer sect of Huangmen Yun Sect.
After all the disciples sat down, Zuo Ming said: "Today's urgent summons for you is because the inner sect issued an urgent order to our lineage. Zhong Kai, come and read it to your junior brothers and sisters."
As he spoke, Zuo Ming handed a scroll to the eldest disciple on his left.
"Yunzong belongs to the outer sect, and the outer sect listens to orders. Nowadays, there is a war outside Pengshan in the south of the country. The Yunyan barbarians are determined to be thieves, and they broke the contract and invaded with fierce momentum.
Now that the war outside Pengshan Pass is tense, the military government is in urgent need of Qi practitioners nearby to control the pass, so we ask Yunzong for help.
Order the seven deacons of the outer sect, each with 50% of their disciples, to carry a set of magical instruments, medicines, and light equipment, and gather at the main gate at noon tomorrow to set off on time. No delay!
This order! "
