Chapter 15: Clues

Nangong Beidou looked at this strange man in black, didn't know what he thought, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Please." ”

When everyone returned to the temple, Nangong Beidou, Shangguan Chengtai, Fang Shaobai and Xuanying found a vacant space, while the rest of the disciples avoided it and did not listen to their conversation.

As for Ning Qingyun, she was still sitting alone in the corner, which provoked Xuanying to look at her more for this, as if wondering why this woman was clearly an inner family but not with Nangong Beidou and the others.

"In Xia Xuanying, the leader of the Tianshu Xuan team of Cunwei Mountain Plains, was ordered by Senior Brother Shen to investigate the affairs of Southern Xinjiang with Brother Fang. Hyun Young grinned.

"Tianshu?" Nangong Beidou said in his heart: "That's true." ”

Since the death of Qingyan Zhenren and the departure of Shao Heng's traitorous sect six years ago, Nangong Beidou has gradually learned the hidden power of Yuquan Peak from the mouth of Qingning Zhen.

Combined with the experience of meeting Shao Heng at Diping Pass, Nangong Beidou knew that Shao Heng was responsible for leading the Tianshu tribe at that time.

However, since Shao Heng left, the Tianshu tribes scattered all over the country were attacked by the enemy for no reason, and suffered heavy casualties. Survivors, only about a third.

And because of the successive accidents in Yuquan Peak, these people were vigilant and vigilant against each other, and the vast majority of them hid and cut off contact with Cunwei.

It wasn't until Shen Yuanxi gradually took power and spent a lot of effort to regain the talents little by little, and it has only improved in recent years.

The Heavenly Pivot Division, with the Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang Divisions, coexists, each performing its own duties, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.

Xuanying was the first person to have a Xuanzi, which naturally made Nangong Beidou look at him with admiration, and he was much more cautious in his words.

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Xuanying, in Xia Nangong Beidou. ”

"I have admired the name for a long time. Xuanying snorted and said, "However, let's not talk about it, let's let Brother Fang explain the matter as soon as possible." ”

Nangong Beidou nodded again and again, but Fang Shaobai was not ambiguous, and said directly: "I was ordered to come to Southern Xinjiang to find traces of the Wu Clan, Senior Brother Xuanying's task is similar to mine, but the purpose is clearer, that is, to find out the clues of the Jinyun City bloody case back then, and this matter will also fall on the Wu Clan." However, you have also seen that the vast majority of the Witch clans have migrated elsewhere or even perished.

I once found a small tribe, but upon contact I found that they were almost like ordinary mortals, with only a little ability to drive poisonous insects to protect themselves, not to mention any witchcraft. Therefore, Senior Brother Xuanying believes that under the blows of the Star Luo Sect over the years, most of the Wu clan's true inheritance has been broken, or only a few big clans have reservations.

After I joined up with Senior Brother Xuanying, I suspected that there were two sources of witchcraft revealed in the Jinyun City Bloody Case: one was that someone in the Wu Clan had fled and was used by a certain force, and the other was that it was inseparable from the Star Luo Sect. When Fang Shaobai said the words "a certain force", Nangong Beidou and Xuanying's faces twitched slightly, obviously thinking of some not very good memories at the same time.

"We are unfamiliar with the place, and we have been wandering around the dense forests of southern Xinjiang for a long time, and we have not found the true location of the remaining witch clans. Later, it was Senior Brother Xuanying who suggested that it would be better to start with the Star Luo Sect, and we found some clues. ”

"What clues?" asked Nangong Beidou.

"It's more like a clue than a strange thing. Xuan Ying said, "The Star Luo Sect is certainly worthy of our suspicion. In the past, I had only heard that the Star Luo Sect and the forces in southern Xinjiang often clashed, but after coming to southern Xinjiang, I realized that this was clearly not a matter of conflict or non-conflict, and the two sides seemed to be in a state of life and death. Of course, it was the one-sided crushing of the Star Luo Sect, and the foundation of the Wu Clan was constantly hiding from each other. The Star Luo Sect seemed to want to eradicate the entire Southern Xinjiang Wu Clan, and constantly sent its disciples deep into the dense forests of Southern Xinjiang. ”

"What does Senior Brother Xuanying mean?" Nangong Beidou was a little confused.

"Senior Brother Nangong, don't you think Star Luo Sect's move is very strange, it seems that there is something in the Wu Clan, so that Star Luo Sect must wipe them out. And recently...... There is more than one force in the Star Luo Sect near here. Fang Shaobai stroked the beard on his lips and said solemnly.

"This is the territory of the Star Luo Sect, but there are people from other demon sects, as if they are also looking for something. Also, some time ago we met a group of ascetics from afar, who seemed to be people from Dayan Temple......"

Dayan Temple is located in the bitter cold land in the north of Shenzhou, and it has come all the way to southern Xinjiang?

Nangong Beidou was very surprised in his heart.

Xuan Ying and Fang Shaobai's words did not reveal the results they originally wanted to investigate, but Nangong Beidou understood why Shen Yuanxi would attach importance to this matter: there must be something important in the Wu Clan, which will make the Star Luo Sect continue to suppress and hunt down, and this will attract other demon sects to enter regardless of the evil Star Luo Sect, and even attract the people of the Dayan Temple far away in the north.

And this incident may be an opportunity for the Central Plains forces to come into contact with the mysterious Southern Xinjiang Wu Clan.

"Senior Brother Xuanying, what do you think?" asked Nangong Beidou after a moment of silence.

"Which aspect is the little brother Nangong asking?"

"This time, whether it is starting from the Star Luo Sect or the Wu Clan, it is full of dangers. Needless to say, the Star Luo Sect is on the side of the Wu Clan...... I don't know what the situation is like with outsiders......"

"I see what you mean. Xuanying smiled: "We said before, and now the clues point to two aspects. If the Star Luo Sect is the real mastermind behind the scenes, then the gathering of demons right now is the best time to unveil them. I've always done this kind of thing in the past, and it's only fitting that I go and check the Star Luo Sect. On the other hand, the Wu clan can only figure it out slowly, and Shaobai will take you to this. ”

"Senior Brother Xuanying wants us to divide our soldiers into two ways?"

"No, I said it, you all follow Shaobai. Xuanying's smile was serious: "During this time, we have also inquired a little, although the people of the Wu clan are quite hostile to outsiders, but their temperament is very simple, and their grievances are clear. As long as you have their trust, as long as they treat you as guests, you will never hurt their guests. Among the Wu clan, the clan that is now fighting against the Star Luo Sect is the oldest one, this clan believes in the real ancient witch god and admires the life force of heaven and earth. Judging from the description, it is not a vicious witch clan who will sacrifice the lives of hundreds of thousands of living beings with blood. If you can come near them, you should still be safe. ”

"Of course, the premise is that you must not provoke their taboos. Fang Shaobai added.

……………………

After passing through the insect-infested rainforest, the green hills rise and fall like green waves.

The white clouds are like huge clumps of cotton, gathering and dispersing in the air, intertwining into different shapes. After several days of sunny days, the whole sky was like a clean mirror.

In the distance, among the green hills, the white smoke curls up, making it quiet and peaceful.

Seeing this scene, Nangong Beidou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but also felt quite surprised.

I thought that southern Xinjiang was full of poor mountains and bad waters, but I didn't expect that there would be beautiful scenery.

"The Lianyun Mountain Range is vast and boundless, even if it is a corner of the southern frontier, it is not something that the Star Luo Sect can completely penetrate. Fang Shaobai lowered his straw hat at this time and said softly.

"Brother Shaobai is so capable that he can know such a path. Nangong Beidou praised.

"Definitely. Fang Shaobai shook his finger and said, "The real place where the Wu clan is located is still thousands of miles away, and now what I am taking you to is just a small clan, and this clan is specifically going out to purchase resources in exchange for what the Wu clan needs." If I hadn't saved the clansmen of this clan desperately, they wouldn't have believed me and even told me this way. ”

"It's not easy to maintain tranquility under the constant harassment of the Star Luo Sect. Shangguan Chengtai sighed.

"Actually, I'm not sure, after all, they will change places every once in a while, otherwise they will be found by the people of the Star Luo Sect sooner or later. Fang Shaobai smiled slightly bitterly.

"Let's take one step at a time. Nangong Beidou adjusted his lower body a little unaccustomedly.

At this time, the group of them pretended to be a ranger caravan doing business with the Wu Clan, and they reined in their cultivation, and they couldn't tell that they were famous disciples from Cunwei Mountain.

This place needs to pass through a very hidden cave in the dense forest, and the road is narrow but also very empty. As far as the eye could see, everything around was in full view, except for them, there was not half a figure.

"You must not reveal your cultivation, even if someone sees that you are a monk, you must not rashly release your qi, nor can you use your divine sense to investigate others at will. Fang Shaobai warned again: "This seems to them to be a sign of hostility, these southern Xinjiang people's techniques are more peculiar, and there are Gu worms with them, and they are extremely sensitive to divine consciousness and qi." ”

Everyone, including Nangong Beidou, nodded, indicating that they had it in mind.

"There is a small village in front of it, and it seems to be all ordinary people, but in fact they are all Wu clan masters. There is a tea shop in the village for people from southern Xinjiang who go out or return. If it is an outsider like us, we must also stop there until we are sure that we are friends we know before we can let it go, otherwise, ......" Fang Shaobai smiled "hehe" and did not say anything more, but everyone understood the meaning of his words.

Hyun Young has left, but not alone.

Nangong Beidou insisted that he take some of the manpower, although Xuanying was used to being alone, but in the end he did not refuse his kindness, and selected a few good hands from the guards of the Nangong family who were also good at concealment.

The rest of the people, following Fang Shaobai's instructions, dressed up in disguise, went to the Wu clan that Fang Shaobai knew to try to inquire about the location of the Wu clan that was fighting against the Star Luo Sect.

The village that Fang Shaobai said will soon arrive.

Sure enough, beside the narrow path surrounded by green fields, there was a simple shed with a fiery stove burning.

In the shed, there was a middle-aged man from southern Xinjiang, wearing knee-length blue pants and only a dress of the same color on his upper body, revealing his strong chest and strong arms.

Seeing Nangong Beidou and his entourage, who were obviously not dressed as clansmen, this man's eyes showed a very obvious look of vigilance.

Hearing only a whistle, in the originally quiet Qingshan hut, more than a dozen people from southern Xinjiang who were similarly dressed appeared one after another, and they all looked at Nangong Beidou and the others with hostile eyes.
