This crisis was the closest to death he had ever faced, even worse than the Bald City Lord's time.
Because in that short period of time, he had three brushes with death. Thanks to Lao Hei's timely reminder at the beginning, without Lao Hei, he would have died in the first blow. Then after turning on the light, the moment he was seriously injured by two substantial souls, he used the soul extraction technique to kill them. If he didn't have this method, it would be extremely difficult to kill them. Therefore, mastering the Soul Extraction Technique is his second luck. Finally, when he fell to the ground, the killer finally appeared. At the critical moment, Lin Qiaoni arrived and rescued Xu Qian.
If any of these three times of luck were missing, Xu Qian would probably not survive today. Therefore, no matter what, he could not give up the investigation of this killer. If he could not find out the origin of this person, he would not be able to sleep peacefully. The few assassinations Huaxia encountered were childish and he didn't need to pay attention to them at all. But this time the killer could actually control the soul and materialize the soul so that they could use weapons. If he was not careful, he would be directly killed by the other party. Instant kill, just thinking about it made his liver tremble.
"I didn't see it. When I went in, I only saw you lying on the ground. You were covered in blood and you could even see your intestines." Lin Qiaoni subconsciously looked at the position of Xu Qian's belly. Thinking about it now, she was still a little creepy. .
Xu Qian lowered his eyes slightly and said in a calm tone, "This is very strange. At the last moment, I saw the killer. She was a woman, but I didn't see her face. She could have killed me, but she escaped in the end. , although there was a reason for your sudden appearance outside the door, it only took a short time for her to take action at that time, and you were still blocked by the door, and you couldn't get in for a while. Besides, how could she hear it? Your voice escaped, does she think she is no match for you?"
"You said that the killer can control the soul. Do immortal cultivators have such a method? Why do I feel that there is a ghost in the ghost? It doesn't look like an immortal cultivator at all. It is possible to say that it is a supernatural power, but it is not impossible in the Tang Empire. A person with super powers?" Lin Qiaoni's thoughts quickly turned away from the mystery of her life experience and entered into the assassination of Xu Qian.
"Well, it really doesn't look like a method of immortal cultivation. This method is very partial and very few people will know how to use it. As long as we find out who knows it, it is probably not the killer, and it must be related to it."
"What I find very strange is, why would someone want to kill you in the Imperial Capital of the Tang Dynasty? We didn't make any enemies in the Tang Dynasty at all this time. Could it be that you did something wrong last time and provoked someone?"
Xu Qian immediately denied it and said: "Impossible. Last time I struck too hard and killed a Wu Zong, but that was in Luo City, and it was impossible for the auction and trading center to send such a strong killer. Even if they paid to hire , and it is impossible for him to deal with me for the sake of a Wuzong."
"Then it can only be Qin Zhao or someone from the Orc Continent." Lin Qiaoni kept making guesses.
"It's impossible for people from the Orc Continent. How do they know we are here? And in the Orc Continent, those who have enmity with me are the Noto family, Bald Qiang and the forces behind Ma Dong. If they want to take revenge on me, they will probably... Not so fast, not to mention the killer's style doesn't fit well with the people of the Orc Continent." Xu Qian likes to call the bald city lord Bald Qiang, and Lin Qiaoni also thinks this nickname is very suitable.
"As for Qin Zhao..." Xu Qian paused and thought for a moment before saying: "It is possible for him. First of all, he knows that we are in the imperial capital, and he is in a high position and has many manpower, whether it is to find out our specific location It’s not difficult to still send such a weird killer.”
"He gave us the card to open the room. Will he be able to easily know our location if we pass the academy card?"
Xu Qian was reminded by Lin Qiaoni, so he took out the card and looked at it, but he didn't see anything. Even if he used his spiritual sense to check, he didn't find anything wrong. But both of them also knew that as long as they used the card, the college would naturally know where they were using it. Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even China twenty years ago could easily do this.
"Is it really Lao Qin? But why did he do this? Could it be that if I don't agree to join the academy, just kill me? Didn't I tell you to think about it? And if he wants to kill me, he can do it after we are separated. It's time to take action, and with a few teachers here, there won't be any suspense in the fight." The more Xu Qian thought about it, the more confused he became. There was a high possibility that the killer was sent by Qin Zhao, but there were many unreasonable things.
Another incomprehensible thing. But there was still one person Xu Qian could ask. His spiritual consciousness instantly entered the scroll and he came to the familiar mountain top again.
"Old Hei - Old Hei -"
"Why are you barking so loudly?" The black dog slowly walked out from a pile of weeds.
"I'm afraid you can't hear me." Xu Qian saw Lao Hei and greeted him with a smile.
"I'm not deaf." Lao Hei looked away with an angry look.
"Of course you are not deaf. I would like to thank you for your reminder, otherwise I might have been killed by the killer." Xu Qian's gratitude was indeed sincere, and it was also true that he saved him.
"Do you know who came to assassinate me that day?"
"How would I know? You didn't put the scroll outside. How could I see it?"
"No, how can you tell me to be careful in time if you can't see it?"
"I can only sense the general situation. I can't see it unless you take the scroll outside, such as putting it on the table. At that time, I sensed that there was a ghostly thing very close to you, but you didn't notice it at all. I just thought of a way to remind you."
It turns out that this is the case. Xu Qian has always been worried that his privacy will be seen by this old black man. Now that he is single, it is okay. If he asks for a wife in the future...
Fortunately, he couldn't see it until the scroll was taken out. Xu Qian suddenly felt that he was very lucky. At the auction and trading center, he happened to be holding the scroll in his hand, so Lao Hei would directly see those scenes and be amused in the end. Otherwise, he doesn't know how many more lectures he would have to endure. An evening of jokes.
"Then have you ever heard of someone who has this method of driving ghosts?"
Lao Hei said directly without thinking: "I'm a spiritual master. Isn't this already known to everyone?"
How come everyone knows it. He was slandering in his heart, but he still asked for advice on face: "Times have changed, Lao Hei, I have never heard of a spiritual master."
Black Dog rolled his eyes, with an expression that said, "How dare you ask such a question?" "The spiritual masters originally came from an ancient race. They called themselves the spiritual race. The number of this race was very small, so the spiritual masters at that time It is also very rare. Later, non-spiritual masters appeared, and people realized that it is not necessary to be a spiritual master to become a spiritual master. It is just that people from the spiritual tribe are more likely to become spiritual masters."
"In other words, it is possible for a spiritual master to come from any race?"
The black dog didn't answer. He probably felt that such a stupid question didn't need an answer. Xu Qian felt that Hei Gou had said it as if he had not said it.
"I wanted to find out who was the person who came to assassinate me that night. I thought the other party's methods were weird. I might be able to get some clues based on this."
"If it were in the age of immortals and gods, it might not be too easy, but in your time, there are so few monks, so it shouldn't be difficult to find them."
Xu Qian became interested as soon as he heard this, "Why is it not difficult? How should I find this person?"
"How do I know this? I mean, there are very few spiritual masters in this era. If you find one, you might get the chance."
"What you said makes sense, but I'm speechless." Xu Qian cursed the black dog in his heart again, but he still had a smile on his face.
"By the way, didn't you say thank you to me? Next time you bring me a few hundred packs of those crispy potato chips, which will be considered as my reward for saving you."
"Hundreds of packs? Do you have dozens of puppies at home?" Xu Qian thought for a while before realizing that the black dog was talking about potato chips. "Also, where did you know about potato chips?"
Black Dog felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head, "Didn't you just throw in a bunch of food? I didn't even see it, so I just tasted it, haha." Just after he finished speaking, his face changed and he said, "There's more. , Where did I get the puppy, don’t talk nonsense, if it prevents me from finding a Taoist companion in the future, I won’t be so easy to talk to.”
