When Yu Ci left the city, he also went to the abandoned mining area.
As far as common sense is concerned, it is a very common psychological tendency for a "murderer" to return to the "crime scene", but it is also a very stupid choice. However, other spirit witches don't play their cards according to common sense, so how can Yu Ci not take up the trick?
He rushed all the way, but due to the gap in cultivation and avoiding checkpoints, his speed was still inferior to that of He Wuye and his party, but fortunately, he did not think about actually going in. Outside the mining area, he found a relatively safe place and lurked down. He Wuye and others had already entered the mining area before.
He Wuye's thinking was very clear. After asking about the environment here, the first place he went to was the eye of fire in the center of the earth where Yu Ci destroyed the corpse and wiped out all traces. Around the eye of fire, the temperature was extremely high and all living things were extinct. However, thanks to his emphasis on ostentation, Yu Ci still parasitized the starlight of his divine will in the brains of his accompanying men, splicing together a picture of the gods.
The diameter of the fire eye is about half a mile, and about ten feet below the edge of the fire eye is the surging magma. Occasionally, two huge magma bubbles will rise. The hot steam at the entrance of the hole will cause the void above to distort.
A circle of people gathered around the fire eye. He Wuye could do nothing but look at each other. The rest of the people looked at each other. This is the best place to eliminate traces. Just throw it in and even the iron will melt. What kind of mischief did that Lingxi Sanren do here?
He Wuye remained calm and stood beside the fire eye for a moment before taking out an object.
It was a sachet. The mouth of the bag was tied tightly with gold thread, but the bag was flat and it was impossible to tell what was inside. Under people's gaze, He Wuye pulled away the golden thread, opened the bag, and with a slight shake, a wisp of blue smoke spilled out.
This is the smoke formed by the burning of Miaodong True Incense. The old spirit wizard did not come over, but asked He Wuye to bring the smoke and explain how to use it. He Wuye did as he was told, and took out another narrow-mouthed bottle, unplugged the cork, and immediately a small fluorescent insect flew out of it and jumped into the smoke that was about to dissipate in front of him. In a blink of an eye, the smoke disappeared. If it overflows again, it will shrink inward and should be absorbed by the bugs.
Yu Ci still has the impression that when He Wuye and his party first arrived at Sanjiafang, the old spirit shaman took out this small fluorescent insect. The method of induction was somewhat different.
After swallowing the smoke, the fluorescent bug seemed to have grown a lot. It flapped its transparent thin wings and flew over the eye of fire again, flying in the twisted heat, and circled more than a dozen times, all around. When everyone in the circle was a little impatient, he suddenly changed direction and attracted everyone's attention.
Xiao Chong then stood somewhere at the edge of the fire eye, where people were already standing. Seeing Xiao Chong coming, he was at a loss. Finally, under the stern eyes of Master He Wu, he moved away, and then he saw Xiao Chong with Light up the fluorescence and circle around this area.
After a moment, the fluorescent bug continued to fly forward again, but this time it flew far, all the way to the edge of the cave tunnel where the fire eye was.
"Follow and have a look."
He Wuye immediately assigned people, one group followed the fluorescent bug to record the position, and the other group checked at the edge of the eye of fire. As for himself, he flew directly over the eye of fire, hanging in the center where the fluorescent bug flew around just now. He said:
"Check carefully and don't miss any clues!"
All the subordinates agreed. This is a team of ten elixir-returning monks. They are strong, and more importantly, they are experienced. They have developed a pair of sharp eyes in hundreds of years of experience. They work together and work together. It really won't miss any trace.
Yu Ci looked serious, not because of the ten elixir-returning monks, but because of an unprecedented experience.
As long as they are living creatures and their strength is not too strong, they cannot escape the power of the Illuminating Bronze Mirror. Not long after the fluorescent bug flew out, Yu Ci successfully parasitized the divine starlight into it, so what was unfolding before his eyes was the unique perspective of the bug.
This wonderful creature has no sense of smell, hearing, taste, touch, etc. It only has very simple vision and a strange sense.
After Yu Ci completely entered the "field of vision" of the fluorescent bug, the world suddenly darkened, but it was not pure darkness. On the contrary, in the darkness, several pieces of fluorescent-like dark green light lit up one after another. Like a cold will-o'-the-wisp color, it illuminates this area.
That's where the fluorescent bugs are flying in circles.
In the eyes of He Wuye and others, these locations are just doubts, but in Yu Ci's eyes, these dark green lights have a special meaning.
The spot in the middle of the eye of fire was where he dropped Lingxi Sanren; the spot on the edge of the eye of fire was where he checked for the last time before dumping the body. It was there that he removed Lingxi Sanren’s body from Yunlou. It was lifted out of the space formed by the tree and thrown into the magma.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the words of the old spirit wizard: "The evil spirits in the world are very active, and they are responsible for the murder conspiracy..."
Is this little fluorescent bug a alien species that can identify evil spirits?
In addition to these two places, there is also a long dark green mark extending from the edge of the fire eye to the distance, which is the flight path of the fluorescent bug at this time. There is also a rock spur protruding from the ground in the middle. He has the impression that That should be the one who came here...
No, that's not right!
Yu Ci suddenly felt something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly woke up: the general direction of this route was correct, but the specific path was not. He remembered that when he first walked in, he passed from the right side of the rock thorn, and when he left, he left directly using the escape method, without returning the same way.
But in the eyes of the fluorescent bug, this dark green light band passes from the left side of the rock thorn...
"Fifth Master!"
Someone yelled over there, and both Yu Ci and He Wuye were startled. The former quickly adjusted his perspective, while the latter flew directly over.
"What's going on?" He Wuye came closer and saw that his men were carefully picking up a torn robe corner from the ground. It was only two minutes long. It was originally attached to a protruding rock on the ground. The sides have been baked crispy by the high temperature here.
With this kind of clue, if it were anyone else, they might still be scratching their heads, but this would definitely not include He Wuye. Even without the means of a spiritual wizard, he still has many talented people. At his signal, someone took the corner of the robe, sniffed it carefully, and quickly came to the conclusion: "It looks like the 'Broken True Eclipse Yuanxiang'..."
"Don't give me 'like', really?"
He Wuye's scolding was more of excitement than anger. The subordinate was also smart and responded in the most affirmative tone: "It is the 'breaking the true eclipse Yuanxiang', which is the unique method of Lingxi Sanren!"
After receiving this answer, He Wuye's pupils were filled with green light. He snatched the corner of his robe and held it in front of his eyes: "Lingxi Sanren?"
Having battled wits and courage with Lingxi Sanren for many times, He Wuye gained a deep understanding of that cunning fox-like guy. Destroying the true eclipse of Yuanxiang is one of the most powerful methods of that guy, and he will not use it unless he encounters a powerful enemy. Apparently, without their knowledge, Lingxi Sanren engaged in a fierce battle with others.
Of course, a fool also knows that this is not the first battlefield. Judging from these clues alone, the outcome cannot be determined. But if combined with the judgment of the spirit witch, He Wuye inevitably thought of a method that he had never considered before. Possibility of passing:
"Looking at this situation, is it possible that Lingxi Sanren suffered a loss... and were killed?"
Yu Ci was dozens of miles away, but felt cold in his heart.
No matter what kind of evil spirit or good spirit, the first thing that must be confirmed is that when he acted, he was very careful and did not leave any traces. If there were any traces, it could only be that he took out the body of Lingxi Sanren from the Yunlou Tree space. The location is at the edge of the eye of fire, and it is definitely not that ghost place that cannot be hit with eight poles, and it is such an almost mentally retarded thing!
This is frame-up!
There are some absurdities in his definition of thinking, but the general meaning is correct.
Yu Ci is thinking about only one thing now: Could it be that the news about him killing Lingxi Sanren has been leaked? Perhaps, there is a guy unknown to him, hiding in the dark, ready to give him a fatal blow at any time?
Maybe these clues are not enough to identify him now, but as long as that person is willing to reveal a little bit of information, the entire Beihuang, no, the entire cultivation world will turn around and swarm in, allowing him to deeply taste the spiritual resonance. What it’s been like to be a Sanren over the years!
For a moment, Yu Ci's entire spine felt cold.
No outsider can know Yu Ci’s thoughts, but there are always similarities in the thoughts of smart people. After dozens of miles apart, the initial excitement had passed, and more doubts emerged from He Wuye's mind. His idea just now made some sense, but if the results were followed in reverse, there were still some things that were not so smooth... …
"Look again!" He Wuye put away the corners of his robe and ordered his men to continue. But at this time, the fluorescent bug no longer exerted any effort, flew back unsteadily, and fell directly into the bottle where it had previously lived.
"Huh?"
Both sides were stunned. Both Yu Ci and He Wuye discovered something was wrong.
Especially Yu Ci, he can take on the perspective of the fluorescent bug and see the problem more intuitively. In the unique induction of this little bug, the dark green light should be some kind of manifestation of the "evil spirit" referred to by the spirit witch, or in other words, the movement trajectory of the "evil spirit". According to common sense, this "evil spirit" should be mixed with the mark of Lingxi Sanren. Otherwise, there are so many "murderous conspiracies" in the world, how can we judge which ones are related to the target?
Yu Ci could also tell that the fluorescent bugs would not work across the space created by the Yunlou tree, otherwise the road he came would have been covered with that dark green color. And this leads to a question:
Where did that extended line come from? And why did it stop midway?
In an instant, both Yu Ci and He Wuye came to their senses. Before Yu Ci could care about it, He Wuye had already dodged and came to the edge of the fire eye, staring at the irregular cracks with fiery eyes.
But then, he was startled, and his body suddenly moved back. In front of him, a huge bubble of magma exploded, and a red light filled the crack. The boiling magma seemed to have the power of a tide, and suddenly It slapped the rock formations and made a low roar.
Earlier than the situation he faced, the divine image suddenly disappeared before Yu Ci’s eyes.
Shadow Ghost's sharp thoughts stabbed him: "Hide quickly!"
