Chapter 441: The Case of Innocent City
"Mr. Kotani, this is the seventh tragedy that has occurred in the area of Qingbai City in recent days. ”
The linen-robed Taoist stood respectfully under the big banyan tree, arching the scroll with both palms, waiting for an echo.
The big banyan tree was covered with a layer of snow dust.
In the snow and dust, a young man-shaped figure can be faintly seen sitting on the main trunk, and there is a hidden mysterious force flowing around, surrounded by wind and snow, gathering but not dispersing.
The young man slowly opened his eyes, and a solemnity appeared on his childish face.
"Smack".
Gu Xiaoyu fell from the branch of the banyan tree, the linen-robed waiter bowed deeply to him, handed out the scroll, and the young man took it with both hands, and returned the salute with the same politeness.
He flipped through the scroll and took a closer look.
Another tragedy, the area of Qingbai City has recently condensed, there are always "bizarre corpses", most of the dead are wanderers who stay in the deserted temple at night, their heads are cut off, placed in front of the temple, the corpses are taken away, and they are missing...... Since Xuanjing returned to Taihe Palace, he has forcibly gathered power, strictly investigated black and white, and the bandits have been pacified, and there should be no more such tricks.
Collapse the scroll.
"In just ten days, seven tragic incidents. If it's not a man-made disaster, it's a strange force. Gu Xiaoyu lowered his eyebrows, and the ghost stories that Uncle Wen Tao said in the middle of the night flashed in his mind, the young man was born with the body of a King Kong dragon elephant, and his pure yang qi overflowed, but he didn't feel afraid, but he just felt a little confused.
"This is a clean city...... If memory serves, it's Uncle Xiao's hometown. ”
"Mr. Kotani, the site of the temple has been protected. The voice of the Daoist in the hemp robe interrupted Gu Xiaoyu's thoughts, and he looked worried, his face full of sadness: "The Daoist of Taihe Palace tried to use the 'Dao Bell' to drive away the evil spirits, and the 'Talisman' to suppress the weird, but it still can't be avoided in the past few days. If it continues, people will be panicked, and I am afraid that they will have to ask for help from other dojos. ”
After the night banquet in Tiandu, Xuanjing returned to the Taihe Palace dojo to fulfill his father's last wish, although there was the blessing of the imperial decree, there were still many resistances.
"Remember, don't ask for help from other dojos. Gu Xiaoyu looked serious and said, "Where is the temple where the incident occurred, I will investigate the case for Xuanjing." ”
"This ......," the Taoist hesitated, "Mr. Kotani, this is really not in accordance with the rules. ”
Gu Xiaoyu looked at the dojo in the distance and shook his head, "Xuanjing is entangled in everything, and I have no more energy to distract myself, I have been coming to the Taoist Sect for many days, and I wanted to help her, but I have not done anything these days, just meditate and practice, what is the embarrassment? ”
The Taoist shook his head desperately.
He thought to himself, what is Mr. Kotani kidding?
Since he came to the Taoist Sect, this Mr. Kotani has never been idle, running around every day, and many things that Lord Xuanjing doesn't know yet, so he was solved by Mr. Kotani...... It was not easy to rest in the past few days, but there was a tragedy in the temple, and unfortunately he was discovered by him, and he ordered himself to submit the case scroll as soon as possible.
I originally hoped that the monks of the Taihe Palace Dojo would solve the temple.
As a result, things really went from bad to worse.
Gu Xiaoyu smiled, although her voice was soft, but firm.
"Take me to the temple, it's an order. ”
There was a slight pause.
Gu Xiaoyu said softly: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you." You take me to the temple, and for the rest, I will personally go to Xuanjing and say, she won't stop me. ”
......
......
The carriage stopped in front of the Suppression Temple, Gu Xiaoyu got out of the car, and the ma-robed Taoists who were in charge of the isolation scene all looked stunned, shocked and angry and looked in the direction of the carriage.
In the carriage, the Daoist who came to the scene with Gu Xiaoyu oozed sweat on his forehead, and kept chanting the name of Tianzun.
Crime, crime.
I haven't been struggling with Mr. Kotani.
Gu Xiaoyu got out of the car and walked straight towards the temple, and several Taoists wanted to talk, but they were stopped by his solemn action of holding out a finger in front of his lips.
Silence.
During the day, the wind and snow have stopped.
The blazing light fell, and the snowdrifts parted, revealing a narrow path that led to the temple gate.
At first glance, the snow flakes are dazzling.
There's nothing bloody...... But the scene in front of the temple is in stark contrast to this holy snowy scene.
A skull, plucked out of its chest, lay flat on the ground, facing the entrance of the temple.
The deceased was an old man in his old age, his lips were closed, his expression was resolute and painful, and a pair of eyes had been gouged out, leaving only hollow black sockets, and blood pouring down his cheeks like running water, which was now dry.
Gu Xiaoyu stared at this picture in silence.
"I died around the clock last night. A Taoist stepped forward quietly and lowered his voice, "Just like in the previous case, the body is gone, and only a head remains...... I searched around, but I couldn't find anything. ”
"The identity of the deceased?"
"The Dead...... No identity. ”
In the seventh case, the deceased is still unidentified...... Indeed, the only people who were forced to spend time in the deserted temple in Qingbai City were those poor and helpless wanderers.
Gu Xiaoyu clenched his fists gently.
This old man, a lot of age, should have enjoyed his old age......
"Got it. You stand back. ”
Gu Xiaoyu commanded, he stood behind the head, and tried to stare at this ancient temple called "Suppressing Evil Temple" from the perspective of the deceased before his death.
Last night there was a lot of snow.
...... the hell What do you see?
There are hundreds of dilapidated temples like this.
No one knows where the next tragedy will be...... The murder is even more clueless, and the guy who committed such a murderous act has not left the slightest clue.
Coming to the scene in person, Gu Xiaoyu only glanced at it in a hurry, and made sure that his intuition when he flipped through the scroll earlier was not wrong.
I'm afraid that the ma-robed Taoist won't be able to find out the "truth".
It's not man-made.
Rather, there is a "strange power" disaster.
In the dark, there seems to be a mysterious force that surrounds this ancient temple, like a curse, and like a prayer, this kind of ethereal power cannot be perceived by anyone except for the cultivators of the high realm.
"I'm going to see ...... today" Gu Xiaoyu frowned and said softly: "The guy who hides his head and tail, can he escape the Qi Seeking Technique of Shu Mountain?"
In the days of Shushan retreat, Uncle Wen Tao walked himself, and did not do less than abduction.
But beating and scolding and scolding -
Gu Xiaoyu knew that Wen Tao was really good to himself, many scriptures and taboo secrets of Lao Longshan, whether he could understand it or not, he taught it all at once.
However, the little guy has the body of a dragon elephant, only the physique is strong, and the other talents are slightly inferior, especially the way of the formation rune, this little head melon seed is far from Pei Yatou, quite a bit of Ning Yi's demeanor back then, learn to learn, and only master a few tricks such as "Qi Seeking Technique".
However, in the face of the current situation, the Qi Seeking Technique is enough.
Gu Xiaoyu looked at it with bated breath.
The whole temple, from static to moving, the root beams of the temple were demolished by the eye, and the roots flew out upside down, and finally cut out the vision-
A ray of red light swept out from the top of the temple hall and converged into the distance.
This red glow is not a sign of auspiciousness, on the contrary, at a glance, I feel that my heart is clogged, and it is extraordinary.
There is more than one ray of red light like this.
Gu Xiaoyu said in a deep voice: "Give me the map of Qingbai City that marks the location of the temples in the previous cases." ”
The scroll expands.
Gu Xiaoyu's heart trembled.
Really...... The place where the red mangs converge is the day of the temple crime, if you come to check a few days earlier, you may be able to avoid the subsequent tragedy.
A Taoist asked cautiously.
"Mr. Kotani, what do you see?"
Gu Xiaoyu was just about to speak.
A calm and powerful voice rang out.
"The skull extraction case in Qingbai City has nothing to do with people, it has to do with demons. ”
The crowd dispersed in an uproar, making way for the Pope in the white wooden carriage, Chen Yi, who was wearing a blue robe, looked solemn, he just glanced at the temple from afar, and came to the same correct result as Gu Xiaoyu's Qi Seeking Technique.
Coming down from the white wooden carriage with the Pope were two women.
One is Xuanjing, the current palace master of Taihe Palace.
The other is the new waiter selected by Chen Yi after returning to Xiling.
The Pope's close attendants, the selection conditions are extremely harsh, and those who can be selected are all dead soldiers of the Taoist faith, willing to go to the soup for the Pope, and there will never be two hearts.
This attendant, who looked extremely young, dressed in a green robe, with cold eyebrows and eyes, helped Xuanjing get out of the carriage, and stood beside Chen Yi without saying a word.
"Your Excellency the Pope, are you here?" Gu Xiaoyu was stunned, looked at the little girl in purple, and said with a sneer: "Jing'er...... Why are you here too?"
Xuanjing crossed his hands on his hips, so angry that he wanted to hit Gu Shuang's head with one hand.
She glared at Gu Shuang, thinking that it was clear that there were three chapters of the previous covenant, and it would be good to meditate during this time, but as soon as there was a case, she couldn't help but run over.
That's it, that's it.
The anger in the belly, brewing to the end, turned into helplessness.
Where is Xuanjing willing to really be angry with Gu Xiaoyu? In the end, he just sighed.
"I happened to pass by Taihe Palace, and I noticed a near vision, so I came. Chen Yi shook his head with a smile, and said softly: "Gu Shuang, I heard that you have been working hard for the Dao Sect recently, and you have worked hard day and night, so it is better to rest." The case was handed over to 'Qingque' for investigation. ”
Qingquan is the female attendant in Tsing Yi standing upright beside Chen Yi.
"No need to ......" Gu Xiaoyu shook his head with a smile, although he was keenly aware of Xuanjing's vicious gaze, he still said honestly, "I have found the place where blood qi gathers, and the case will be closed soon." ”
"Oh well. Chen Yi smiled helplessly: "Qingque, you go with Mr. Xiaogu, be sure to protect his safety...... After that, they will come to me in the heavens. ”
"Your Excellency, are you going to Tiandu?" Gu Xiaoyu was a little surprised.
"Something happened to Tiandu Taiqing Pavilion. Chen Yi said softly: "This trip back to Tiandu, by the way, meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
He came to Gu Xiaoyu's side, lowered his voice, and told the young man a freshly baked secret from the Tai Womb.
"Your little uncle has returned to Dasui. ”
Gu Xiaoyu's eyes widened, "Really?"
"Naturally, take it seriously. Chen Yi patted the young man on the shoulder and said with a gentle smile: "However, over there in the Heavenly Capital, the Divine Sea Array has not yet received feedback, and according to my guess, Mr. Ning should be trapped in a certain 'Secret Realm Cave Heaven'." ”
The little guy can't stand it anymore.
"Presumably, with your uncle's current strength, there is no secret realm in the Great Sui that can trap him, right?" Chen Yi looked solemn and muttered, "I really want to know, what height he has reached now." ”
Han Yue did not hesitate to sacrifice his childish body to kill Ning Yi.
The one that the entire Eastern Realm feared and feared...... It's finally back!
"That's it!"
When Gu Xiaoyu heard this, he grinned and patted his chest: "My uncle came back this time, but he was going to defeat Liuli Mountain." ”
