As he moved furtively, he left behind faint ink-like traces that were clearly distributed in the room.
And the source of the traces... comes from the direction of the window!
I looked along the traces and found that there were black traces on the window sill, leading straight to the window.
This means...
"That ghost probably came in through the window!"
Wangzhuang shouted excitedly.
I nodded.
"Come on, let's go over and take a look."
When I came to the window and poked my head out, I saw a small forest.
Standing on the fourth floor and looking out, there are some yellowing trees in late autumn.
The school-run hotel is located in a corner of Shanghai International Studies University and is surrounded by woods on three sides. This forest is usually a place where many young lovers like to take walks and have private meetings.
I took out a piece of talisman paper again, wiped it gently on the ink-like "ghost marks" on the windowsill, and then threw it out.
call!
The talisman flew straight down, towards the roots of a certain big tree.
I lay on the window sill and looked around. There was no one in the woods at the moment, so I was too lazy to take the long detour - I had to go down from the fourth floor first, then exit the hotel from the front lobby, and then go around in a circle. Go into the woods.
"Everyone, I'm going to go down first to see what's going on there. If you are interested, you can come over and have a look. It's broad daylight and I'm in the woods again. Even if the evil cultivator is still there in broad daylight, I won't dare. How about it."
What's the meaning?
Wangzhuang and the three of them were slightly startled.
And I had already taken out a [Flying Talisman] and stuck it on my body, climbed directly onto the window sill, and jumped off the fourth floor window sill.
Wangzhuang: "..."
Li Xinxin: "???"
Elena: "!!!"
The three of them quickly ran to the edge of the window sill and lay down to look down.
I saw me opening my hands like a big bird, floating lightly from the air to the ground. Stomping steadily among the dead leaves on the ground.
He turned back and waved to them.
"You should just take the stairs normally."
In fact, I was so anxious just now that I forgot to post a flying charm with them, which can actually float down with me - of course it is daytime, and although this place is hidden, too many people can easily cause unnecessary trouble.
Watching the three heads disappear by the window, I turned around and walked towards the place where the talisman fell.
really!
In the soft soil next to the tree, two vague but obvious footprints were found.
"It's very possible that the evil cultivator was standing here last night, controlling the ghost servant to fly into the room through the window, and then released the [Soul Devouring Complete Gu] to seize Le Jialu's soul, and then brought it back to him here."
While I was thinking about this, I squatted down and looked closer.
In the soil of the footprints, I found several tiny earthworm-like insects rolling around.
"The skills are so profound that insects are born wherever you stand!"
I am reminded of some descriptions of the realm of the Gu magician's strength in the "Thunder Cave Great Gu Sutra".
It probably means that when a Gu magician has reached a very advanced level of practice, when he stands in the soil, insects will grow out of nothing!
As a secret technique in the Miao area, Gu Shu had little exchanges with the Han people in the Central Plains in ancient times. In addition, the Miao people have always kept a low profile. Therefore, there is no systematic description and proper terminology of Gu Shu in the spiritual world.
However, I heard from Lao Shen and Uncle Zhao that Xiuxing Company Headquarters is currently promoting the standardization of the realms of all private private cultivators, striving to have a clear correspondence with the Buddhist and Taoist sects of practice, which will also facilitate management.
However, it is said that private cultivators seem to have little interest...
I think about it, originally, both the aloof Buddhist and Taoist sects and the organizations established by the imperial court such as Xiuxing Company were too far away from the folk business of feeding off the underworld.
Many casual cultivators actually don't care that much about so-called "cultivation" - it's just the craft of eating.
Lower-income people don’t have the time to do such things!
What's more, if you encounter a fight of wits, if there is no clear division of realms, what's the use?
You still have to see the real chapter!
So according to Lao Shen, there is not much progress on this matter.
I stretched out a strand of hair-like Zhenqi and blasted these little bugs to pieces, but my expression and mood became slightly more solemn.
"Master once said that a Gu magician who can practice to the point of [Standing up as an adult] is at least five times stronger than me when I was fourteen years old. To give a rough estimate, it is almost equivalent to being in the later stage of [Condensation Energy Transformation] At this level, he is considered a strong player, not a small player!"
I originally thought that he was just an ordinary evil Gu master with a blind eye and a stupid mind causing trouble in a key university.
Now it seems... the other party may be confident!
For practitioners at this level, if the opponent deliberately hides, it will be very difficult to catch him.
I don’t think this guy’s frontal combat effectiveness is better than mine – after all, as long as his cultivation level is not much higher than mine, I’ve never been afraid of a frontal fight!
But the poisonous insects owned by the magician are...all kinds of strange and very evil. If you play dirty tricks, it will give people a headache.
What's more, I heard that Gu magicians also have such a sharp weapon as [Innate Gu], which can enhance certain aspects of magic methods, so be careful.
Fortunately, I have studied secret books such as "Thunder Cave Great Gu Sutra" in depth, and I have a relatively good understanding of Gu techniques.
Of course, we haven't even seen the murderer yet, and we don't know what type of Gu he was refining... It's a bit premature to think about these countermeasures.
"Brother Wu, we are coming too!"
Wang Zhuang's voice sounded behind him, and he trotted over with Li Xinxin and Elena.
"What did you find?"
I pointed to the two footprints under the tree and showed them.
"Let's wander around the area and see if we find anything else."
"OK!"
So, the four people looked for other traces in the woods.
To be honest, under normal circumstances, as long as a practitioner of this level pays a little attention, he will not leave too obvious traces.
But what about the guy who killed Le Jialu last night... I don't know if it's because he has a very arrogant personality, or if he just doesn't think it's such a coincidence that another practitioner would come to check on him.
All in all, almost no cleanup was done to the site.
It is estimated that after getting the pure energy transformed from the soul of the "yin girl", she left directly.
Because of this, it gives us some opportunities to continue pursuing clues.
really!
Not long after, I heard Wangzhuang's voice.
"Brother Wu, come here quickly and take a look! There seems to be clues here."
Um?
I was so happy that I quickly ran towards Wangzhuang.
When you get there, follow the direction of his finger and look towards the ground.
I just saw there...
