Because there are Baichuanfang and Sanjiafang with lower thresholds, the market is very lively every day. However, today, when Yu Ci entered the market, all he saw was deserted.
Baichuanfang is not open. There must be no business here today. The monks I occasionally see are all insiders of Sanjiafang. They all have serious expressions and are in a hurry. The atmosphere is so tense that it is about to explode. ,
Led by Manager Wen, Yu Ci went all the way to the quiet room where the incident occurred. This place is already the core area of Fang City. Normally, it is not open to outsiders, but Yu Ci is no stranger to this place. Yesterday, he also used the Zhaoshentu to explore it.
Yu Ci stepped into the house. According to Manager Wen's description, the scene was well protected. There was no change from the time of the incident, and it was no different from usual, except for the old wizard who was leaning on the futon.
Comparing it with yesterday's memory, the position where the old spirit wizard was sitting has not changed much, which makes Yu Ci a little doubtful about the time of the incident. When I asked Manager Wen, I didn't know why. He only said that after Mr. He Wu left yesterday, Master Zhangye had been resting in the quiet room. It was not until today that the servants brought refreshments as usual and knocked on the door. Then he found out that the old man was violent. Died indoors.
Yu Ci listened and observed. From his angle, he could see the old man's stiff face, with an indescribable expression. He felt too calm, as if he was completely numb to the coming death. The more he looked at it, the more eerie he felt.
Yu Ci sighed. The few words the old man said yesterday were to help him and Jin Changhua mediate. It was a small favor. Who would have thought that after one night, this would be the result.
He squatted down, moved closer, and asked: "Where is the fatal injury?"
"In the heart."
At the scene, Manager Wen was a little distracted. Since this incident happened here, they and other managers could not escape the blame. His fate suddenly became unstable. It was difficult for him to cheer up no matter what.
Yu Cici nodded and did not ask any more questions. After all, he was here to summon spirits, not to investigate the case.
He habitually opened his soul-reflecting eye and scanned the surrounding walls. There were no residual souls left here. This was also within his expectation. In the final analysis, this kind of thing is more of a matter of letting fate. Guess Lai Wen didn't expect him to really be able to bring back the soul of the old spirit wizard. If he could find some clues from it, it was already It's lucky.
Just as he was about to take action, a cold feeling stabbed his back. Yu Ci frowned and turned away, only to see an unfamiliar figure in front of him.
This person is... Sutong?
Su Tong came in from outside wearing the lake green gown from last time and stared at him unhappily.
Things are a bit ridiculous. Because of the nature of the black market, Sanjiafang can be said to be the force that least gives Dazhuitang face in Yinku City. But something happened to Sanjiafang, and Su Tong, the leading figure of Dazhuitang, hurriedly What's the point of coming here?
At this time, another person came out from behind Su Tong. His clothes were somewhat similar to those of Manager Wen. When he saw Yu Ci, he was also stunned, and then said to Manager Wen:
"Old Wen, who is this?"
Manager Wen did not respond directly. He glanced at Su Tong, his face was slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Why is Hall Master Su here?"
After discovering that the old wizard died suddenly, Manager Wen ordered the closure of Baichuanfang and sealed off the venue. As for the news, it cannot be blocked, but at least it shows an attitude. But what's going on with Sutong?
"Master Zhang had a transcendent status, but he unfortunately passed away inside our workshop. Hall Master Su came over after hearing the news because he wanted to do his part. Hall Master Su is good at the art of the soul, and it is most appropriate to use it here. ”
The person who spoke was also a manager of Sanjiafang here, his surname was Li. Normally, he and Manager Wen were in charge of the same stall, and no one could overpower the other. This time he intervened in this matter, and it was obvious that he had other thoughts.
Manager Wen is so worried just because of all the things happening in front of him, how can he be in the mood to engage in intrigues? Gritting his teeth in his heart, he dragged Manager Li outside and said straight away: "Master Zhang's matter involves the Huangquan Secret Mansion. I don't know how many people are interested in this. How could you be careless? If nothing else, you don't care about Hong Yuan's matter. Know? ”
He was referring to the fact that Hong Yuan of Dazhuitang "mistakenly recognized" Yu Ci as a Lingxi Sanren. This has become a famous joke in Yinkuo City.
We are all indifferent, why are you lecturing me? Manager Li was a little annoyed: "For the person in the city who is good at the art of soul and mind, you want to find someone more powerful? Besides, Su Tong can't be trusted. At least he knows the basics. Who does the person you brought here count?"
These words are somewhat confident. Even Manager Wen has to admit that Su Tong's ability is recognized by the whole city. Even if he chose to chase the soul, it was because he heard about the conflict between him and Su Tong, and because of Due to careful consideration.
The disputes between the two of them were occasionally heard in the house. Naturally, there was no harmonious situation between Yu Ci and Su Tong. Because of Zhou Guishou's incident, the two sides still have unresolved grievances.
Yu Ci was still calm. He wanted to know how Sanjiafang would be arranged. This is not just a matter of "enemies who work together", soul summoning is not a job that requires more people and strength. Even if the old spirit wizard's remnant soul is still there, if both parties cast spells together, the possibility of being torn to pieces is greater.
Su Tong was also sneering. He couldn't afford to offend Sanjiafang. He still had the guts to take pleasure in others' misfortunes and was happy to watch the internal strife among his staff. But he is here today really for the purpose of summoning Zhang Ye's soul. You must know that spirit witches rely entirely on their talents. It is said that their souls are naturally very different from ordinary people, which is of great reference value to monks who study the art of souls and minds. So as soon as he heard about Zhang Ye's sudden death, he took the initiative to come and happened to meet Manager Li, and the two of them hit it off immediately. It was really not a premeditated plan.
The atmosphere between the two managers, Wen and Li, was getting more and more tense, and a second round of quarrel was about to break out. Suddenly, a man rushed over in a hurry and shouted from a distance: "Personal message from the head of the family."
This was the big boss behind Sanjiafang giving an order directly to Semicolon. Managers Wen and Li were both shocked and their anger was quelled. Manager Wen took it to take a look first. The next moment, his rich body froze completely, and then he began to tremble uncontrollably:
"He Wuye's natal lamp is out?"
The important figures in Sanjiafang have their natal lamps lit in the main square. If there is misfortune, the lamp will be extinguished immediately. There is no possibility of misreporting.
In other words, He Wuye... is dead!
How is that possible? When Mr. He went out yesterday, there were ten Dan Huan cultivators around him. He was a real Buxu cultivator. Where did he start talking about "dead"?
Manager Wen almost collapsed on the ground. If it was said that the old spirit witch was dead, he might have just been reprimanded if he tried to defend himself. But when the news of the death of Mr. He Wu came, whether it was related or not, here in the Hell Cave City, He must be washed once more, and now he can't get scolded even if he wants to. What awaits him will be the wrath of thunder from the main branch. Even if he doesn't die, everything he has in Sanjiafang will be wiped out!
Manager Li was also stunned by the shock. He stayed stunned for a long time before murmuring: "This must be the murderer's doing. It's the murderer's doing..."
Now even a three-year-old child has clearer ideas than him, but Manager Wen got a glimmer of inspiration from it. Yes, Old Lingsha died, He Wuye died, and in one day, two key figures who were tracking Lingxi Sanren died. How could it be such a coincidence?
Yes, if you are lucky, you might even find clues here... Huh?
"Master Su, what are you doing?"
Manager Wen cannot let go of any opportunity now, even Su Tong, as long as he can find out the truth, he can use it. But Su Tong came out of the quiet room and left straight away. Manager Wen was surprised and hurriedly called him.
Su Tong had a gloomy face and rolled his sleeves and said, "Since you, Manager Wen, can't trust your own abilities, why should I put my hot face against your cold **** here?"
As he spoke, he walked far away without stopping at all.
Managers Wen and Li were stunned for a moment, and suddenly cursed at the same time. The words "can't believe it" are all excuses! It is true that this Sutong was obviously afraid after hearing the news of the death of Fifth Master Yihe, and did not dare to wade into troubled waters again.
No wonder Su Tong is like this. The murderer who was able to kill He Wuye and sneak into Sanjiafang to kill people was at the lowest level of Buxu, even a robbery cultivator. The Huangquan Secret Mansion was a threat to all the cultivators in this world. They are all attractive enough!
The more he thinks about it, the more powerless Wen becomes. Now, he only retains a slim hope, tied to the person who is still in the quiet room.
In the quiet room, Yu Cizheng had a question to be answered: "Is it a person?"
He asked the shadow ghost with his mind, and got a negative answer: "Absolutely not. Not to mention whether the time is right, how can a person who just practices the 'Molten Core Scorched Prison Skill' use this method to kill people? What if? This side was razed to the ground, that’s about it.”
"Well, that's right."
Yu Ci checked the cause of death of the old spirit wizard again. He noticed that the old man died because of the collapse of blood and energy caused by the severed heart veins. The force of the death was very light, just the last straw that broke the camel's back, no more, no less. Such a light and gentle killing technique was completely different from the style of the previous Demon Sect monk.
Who is it?
He turned his head, and at this moment two stewards, Wen and Li, walked in again, but they both looked lost. Yu Ci then asked: "Do you want to do it again?"
"Do it!"
The blood on Guanshi Wen's fat face had completely faded, showing a desperate gray color, but he was extremely persistent in the matter in front of him. This is the noose around his neck, but it is also the only life-saving straw. He must hold on to it no matter what.
Yu Ci shook his head, Manager Wen was doing it for his family and his life, so why not him? If Shadow Ghost hadn't said that the spirit witch's soul could reach the heaven, earth and the underworld, and that he had other magical powers and could learn from the "Refining" series of talismans, how could he have stepped into this vortex knowing the danger?
He calmed down, waved his hand and used a Soul-Resurrecting Star Fixing Curse. On the old man's forehead, a star-like light bead condensed, and a pale flame seemed to burn around it.
However, the next moment, this dazzling light pearl suddenly dimmed, the flames were completely absorbed, and it appeared outside like a flawless black pearl, attracting people's attention and making it difficult to look away.
