"The Taoist boy is not the key, his senior brother is the key." Si Koyu's eyes shone.
"The night Lin Que was killed. Zuo Sheng took a group of you to see the scholar and said that he wanted to help him out."
"But in my opinion, Zuo Sheng deliberately directed his attention to that scholar!"
"Chen Mu and Lin Que had a conflict, and then Lin Que died. Those with knowledge of the incident would immediately regard Chen Mu as a suspect."
"But what if the murderer is someone else?"
"Wouldn't Chen Mu become a target and the best shield?"
"If Chen Mu disappears inexplicably again, the identity of the other party's murderer will be confirmed immediately." When Si Kouyu said this, he couldn't help but get excited.
"Chen Mu has probably been silenced by Zuo Sheng."
"It's to protect his true ally. That senior brother Qingfengguan!" Si Koyu laughed happily.
The frustration over the past few days of fruitless searches has disappeared.
By the way, everything is right, it must be that senior brother!
If Qingfengguan has a magic weapon, it must have a legacy, and that person's strength is by no means low.
Only in this way will he see the value of ebony and take it away.
And what about Chen Mu? How could a poor scholar from a small place have the strength to kill Lin Que? !
"No wonder I can't find anyone. They've all been silenced. Where can I find them?!"
He clenched his fist and waved it fiercely in the air, saying with determination on his face. "Get the people out immediately and find this Taoist senior brother for me!"
Sun Fu: "..."
The house in Shanglinfang...
"Huh?!" Sikou Yu stared at Sun Fu.
Sun Fu immediately shut up and sweat poured down his body: "Yes!"
…
At this moment, Chen Mu, who had been "silenced", was squatting in front of a snack shop.
Holding a palm-sized charcoal-baked pie in his hand, he bit off half of it in one bite.
The fat and thin pale red meat fillings are steaming hot, and the aroma suddenly fills the nose.
"Boss, great craftsmanship! Here are three more!" Chen Mu, who had a cheeky look on his face, praised loudly and swallowed the pie in two mouthfuls.
"This is a craft that has been passed down from my family for five generations." The boss is a short, fat middle-aged man in his forties. Hearing the compliment, his face was full of smiles.
"I'm not bragging to you. My pie has a crispy crust and a fragrant filling. I don't know how many people have come to steal it, but no one has ever been able to learn it."
"In this world, I am the only one who can make authentic Lao Qi's pie. If you want to eat it, you have to come to my boss Qi's place!" The boss pointed at himself with his thumb and shook his head, full of pride.
Chen Mu smiled and extended his thumb to Boss Qi.
Now there are two people who will do it...
…
Chen Mu couldn't hold it back in the end.
He walked out of the house and came to Beishi Fresh Food Street.
Buying too much fresh meat may attract prying eyes. But the unsolvable ghosts gave Chen Mu even more headaches.
"Practice the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Curse first. Or be more careful."
Chen Mu looked at the bottom entry on the gray wall.
Shapeshifting: 670/10000/level one;
"I change my face every time I go out."
“In the northern and southern cities, I only go to each meat stall once.”
“For each delivery, a random location is selected.”
"With these three layers of defense, it is unlikely that there will be any problems in the short term."
Anyway, he rents more than one yard in Shanglinfang, and he can switch delivery locations at will.
And you don’t have to buy it every day. Cooperating with catching river fish, as long as you purchase it every two days, you can support your cultivation.
"At worst, I'll have to stay up late. How can I not stay up late to improve my proficiency?"
"With the help of Kestrel God's Intent, you can reach the pinnacle in two months at most!"
After eating and drinking, Chen Mu left Lao Qi's snack shop and started searching on the street.
Soon, a butcher's shop came into view.
The stall is four meters long, with a courtyard behind it, and the faint sound of livestock howling can be heard from the backyard.
"The store is not the biggest, and there is not much power behind it."
"It's not the smallest, it's enough to provide fresh meat."
Chen Mu stepped forward.
"The guest wants some meat? Which piece do you like? I'll cut it for you."
"I want to kill four heads of pork, peel them and bleed them, keep the heart, liver, spleen and lungs, and throw away the rest. When can I get it done?"
"Don't worry, customers! I have enough apprentices in the backyard. Just tell me the address and they will be delivered to you in the afternoon!" The butcher shop owner beamed with joy.
Chen Mu handed him a tael of silver: "This is a deposit. I will send it to the third house in Yichou Lane, Shanglinfang, in the afternoon."
"okay!"
Chen Mu didn't stop after explaining and hurried home. Around two o'clock in the afternoon, I left home again and came to Yichou Lane, San Tiao Street.
Recite the spell and release the little paper man to climb to a high place. I saw two men pushing a trolley waiting at the door, chatting and fanning themselves with bamboo hats to cool off.
Chen Mu was sure there was nothing unexpected, so he walked into the alley slowly, received the goods and paid the balance.
Send the two people away, close the courtyard door, and put the fresh meat into the five ghost bags. He used the ghost paper man to climb up and explore the environment before leaving in a hurry.
"Trouble is a little troublesome, but the best thing is stability." At home by the river, Chen Mu adjusted his facial muscles and restored his original appearance.
With a bounty of tens of thousands of taels on his back, Chen Mu always felt uneasy.
Four slaughtered live pigs have been eaten.
Chant a spell to release the ghost paper man. The five ghost bags had enough to eat and drink, and the three little paper figures were very active.
Thinking of the perspective of the little paper man when detecting the enemy, he had three extra eyes.
Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh: "The magic weapon is indeed a magic weapon, it is magical and mysterious."
The ghost paper man, who has trouble lifting a leaf, can not only restrain the ghost, but also act as a scout.
"I have to think carefully about how to use the Five Ghost Bags in the future."
"I don't know what Old Man Jie's magic weapon is?"
…
Three days later.
Nanyang Mansion, Yongtai Fang next to Nanshi.
Sun Fu walked into the Miao Painting Studio with a gloomy look on his face: "Boss Zhen, here is the painting I want."
Two days of searching yielded no results.
This morning, he was kicked by the angry Sikoyu. Now my abdomen is bruised and the pain is still unbearable.
Fortunately, it was not all without gain. This wonderful painting shop once opened a branch in Qingshan County. Boss Zhen, the owner of Miao Painting Workshop, once met the senior brother Qingfeng Guan.
"This is the portrait of Taoist Master Chengyi and Taoist Chengming." Boss Zhen pointed at the unfolded scroll and smiled.
"My craftsmanship is rusty, but I'm not boasting. This painting is at least a seven-part portrait."
"Thank you, Boss Zhen." Sun Fu breathed a sigh of relief.
There are two people, one big and one small, and they are 70% similar, which greatly reduces the difficulty of searching.
After paying the pen fee, Sun Fuxing rushed to the dashing Sikou Yu in Chunfeng Tower.
"Sir, these are the portraits of those two people." Sun Fu bowed his head and said flatteringly.
Si Koyu glanced at it twice, nodded lightly, and threw the painting to a strong man beside him: "Go and find it."
"Yes!" The strong man held his luggage respectfully, turned around and left.
When passing by Sun Fu, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his back to Sikou Yu, and he showed an obvious contemptuous smile to Sun Fu.
Sun Fu's face turned pale.
He lost Sikou Yu's trust!
I have worked hard to find people and paid for portraits myself. As long as I click on the picture to search for people and find clues, it is a great achievement. But now I let others pick the peach.
In a daze, Sun Fu didn't even know how he got out of Chunfeng Tower.
He didn't come back to his senses until the breeze blew his sweat and his body felt cold.
Noticing a green-skinned gangster on the street corner, Sun Fu's face suddenly turned ugly.
He had seen that person before, he was Zuo Sheng's subordinate.
Now that he has lost Sikou Yu's trust, he has lost his protection. If Zuo Sheng comes to find him, he will definitely die!
"No, we must not sit still and wait for death."
"You have to get Sikou Yu's respect again."
"What to do, what to do..."
"By the way, that house!"
Although seven or eight days have passed, when I think back now, I can still vividly remember the scene when I first explored that house.
"There's something strange about the Soul-locking Insect, there must be something wrong with that house!"
A fierce look flashed across Sun Fu's eyes, like a gambler losing his money.
"Don't be careless. Find a thief and let him explore at night!"
"As long as we find the ebony clue, we will be able to save our lives!"
