Chapter Seventy-Seven: Return to Linjiang Town (3)
When Ding Xuefeng, as the last person, finished narrating what he knew, the Asking Heart Array did not light up red from beginning to end, and after Wang Qingwen waved away everyone, he began to ponder: "There should be no problem with this Asking Heart Array, I checked it carefully before using it, and I also added a disturbing formation to it, so that when they answer my question, they can't concentrate/concentrate/force, if they don't tell the truth, it is easy to leak out, and now these two formations have not issued a warning, that is, Ding Xuefeng is not lying." But why did Xu Wenhua say that Ding Xuefeng was an accomplice of Demon Cultivation? He shouldn't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, so this..."Dean Wang couldn't figure out how to figure out this matter, as for the lost silver/essence/, it was not very important to him, if he wanted to use the silver/essence/, he could apply directly from the general courtyard, it was not a difficult matter.
When Wang Qingwen didn't want to continue to speculate about who was right and who was wrong, he soon had another thing that made him feel very confused, that is, why in this Linjiang Town, there were problems again and again, and they were all big things like the disappearance of monks from this academy for no reason, he thought: "Is it that the evil cultivators want to collect the souls of the living and come here to do evil again?" But recently, I haven't heard that in the villages and towns around Linjiang Town, a large number of mortals or multiple monks have disappeared at the same time. Or is it because of the large number of low-level demon beasts in Donglin Prefecture, due to the flooding of the Tongjiang River, after being forced out of their habitat, they have been staying in this vicinity, so that the master and nephew have encountered a beast tide? But the last time I came, I went to the edge of Donglin Prefecture to check, and there were a small number of demon beasts, but most of them were driven back to the mountains by the General Hospital. Don't... Could it be that it is really as Ding Xuefeng said, that these teachers and nephews are fighting again for the sake of cultivating immortal items? This time it may be because of the silver/essence/matter, but what was it for last time? Hey..."Dean Wang felt a little headache when he thought about it, because there were too many uncertain factors in it, and there were some things he could take into account, but more sudden accidents were something he couldn't think of.
"Come in, all of you. After Wang Qingwen thought about it for a while, he didn't figure out what the specific reason was that caused these things to happen, he didn't want to continue to speculate, so he made a decision and shouted to the people outside the door,
"Yes. Everyone hurriedly agreed, none of them dared to leave the gate of the mansion compound, they all waited quietly outside the door, and after hearing Dean Wang's call, they immediately came in one by one.
"Ding Xuefeng, you said that when you left, the female demon cultivator, Li Xuexin and Xu Wenhua were all trapped in the black fog, you lead the way, let's go to the place where the people of the Qingxu faction fought with the demon cultivator, we have to go and see it on the spot. "Wang Qingwen wants to inspect it on the spot.
"Yes, when I left, all three of them were in the black fog, and I don't know what was going on inside because my vision and consciousness were blocked by the fog. Dean Wang, I'll take you there. Ding Xuefeng readily agreed, in fact, he had long thought that the monks of Xuanyang Academy might go to that place to check the authenticity of what he said.
"Leave two people here, take care of the children, and the rest of the people will follow me over to have a look, and you will all come up after I release the inkstone." After Wang Qingwen finished instructing, he took out an inkstone from the storage bag and threw it into the air, and with the mantra in Dean Wang's mouth, the inkstone quickly became longer and wider, and gradually became larger, with a dark light on it.
"Yes. Everyone agreed and jumped onto the inkstone, and after waiting for the people, the huge inkstone galloped in one direction, and after a while it stopped above a clearing, and then everyone fell to the ground again, and the inkstone was also put away.
"All the people are separated, and they will start searching all around from here, and if anyone finds a clue, they will notify me immediately, have you heard clearly?" Dean Wang gave the order,
"Yes. The monks of Xuanyang Academy agreed together.
"Ding Xuefeng comes back, you point me to the two people of the Qingxu Sect, and the place where the female demon cultivator's body was burned. Wang Qingwen stopped Ding Xuefeng, who was about to leave.
"Dean Wang, this is where the old Taoist priest was burned, the young Taoist priest was burned here, and the place where the female demon cultivator was burned is over there. Ding Xuefeng pointed out the places where Cheng Yun, Cheng Yulin and Fan Cuilian were martyred in turn.
Whenever Wang Qingwen came to a place where he was pointed, he would lean down and check them one by one, and found that there was a small amount of black ash in all the places, and nothing else had been found, and he thought to himself: "This may be ashes." ”
"Tell me again, where did the black fog start to appear, and how big is the scope of its enveloping?" Wang Qingwen asked again.
"The black mist of the Soul Gathering Banner came out of here, and the scope is so large overall. After Ding Xuefeng pointed to a place, he came to the periphery and walked in a circle and compared the size of the range.
Wang Qingwen found that the place that was pointed out, the remnants of demonic qi were obviously much more than the surroundings, he leaned over and looked around, but found no black ash left, and turned around in this range, still did not see the black foam that was suspected to be ashes, he thought to himself: "The people of the Qingxu Sect and the demon cultivators can find more or less the ashes of some corpses, but they have not found them in the area shrouded by this soul gathering flag, is it that Li Xuexin's nephew is not dead? Or is he already dead, and his body has been plundered by Demon Cultivators? I'm afraid that taking away the body is to refine zombies, so it's too hateful!" Dean Wang thought of this, and his face was full of anger, and Ding Xuefeng, who had always been following him, was startled.
"Dean Qiyu Wang, I didn't find any clues over there. "After a while, someone came to report,
"Well, let's take a break. Wang Qingwen said that as everyone returned one after another, the content of the return was almost the same: 'I didn't find the person or anything else I was looking for'.
"Everyone come up, let's go to the ancestral house in Weizhuang Village again. Wang Qingwen led everyone out of this place and ran to the next place. They found nothing in Wei Chuanding's old home, because it was very clean, and even the corpses of the dead old man had already been collected by Inspector Chu, and everyone had to come out of the compound again.
"Zhao Yunchuan, you stand beside me and take me to the place where you and Ding Xuefeng have a discussion. After Wang Qingwen saw that everyone was standing on the inkstone, he said to Zhao Yunchuan,
"Okay, Dean Wang, although Ding Xuefeng and I have changed directions several times in the middle of the way, I remember that the place is probably in this direction, it should be easy to find, there is a big pit that we dug out, and the trees around the pit are all broken and fallen. Zhao Yunchuan said to Wang Qingwen,
"Well, I'll slow it down a bit, you take a closer look, don't miss it. Dean Wang said to Zhao Yunchuan, and he turned his head to Ding Xuefeng and said, "You can also help pay attention, and call me when you find a place." ”
"Okay, Dean Wang, Zhao Yunchuan and I will look at it together, and we will definitely not make a mistake. Ding Xuefeng replied.
After flying for a while, they found the place where Zhao Ding and the two fought fiercely last night, where it was as if they had suffered a disaster, and the place they could see was full of devastation, which showed how fierce their competition was at that time, and the big guy's eyes were very strange at this time, and the meaning was similar: ' Look at the situation here, they were here last night, and they all fought to the extent that either you died, or I died, and in the blink of an eye, it was not even a day, just because of what the thief did, you miraculously turned the war into a jade silk, and the fierce battle last night seemed to be as if it had not happened. ’,
Ding Xuefeng and Zhao Yunchuan stayed, and the rest of the people still searched around to see if there was anything worth noting. Dean Wang instructed everyone, he took Zhao Ding and the others, and went to the place where they lay down last night, but they still found nothing and didn't find anything, but Wang Qingwen just felt that there was something around here, but he never remembered what it was, he walked back and forth in the two places several times, and finally he determined what it was:" It's corpse gas, yes, that's it, there's a very thin corpse gas here, it must have been thicker last night than it is now, maybe after the noon sun, it's almost all gone. ”
"Ding Xuefeng, Zhao Yunchuan, did you feel anything strange around you after you woke up last night?" Wang Qingwen asked,
"Dean Wang, I... I... I didn't seem to feel anything wrong. Zhao Yunchuan thought about it before giving a not very positive answer, in fact, he was already a little confused at that time, and it was impossible to detect whether there was anything unusual around him.
"Dean Wang, I seemed to feel very cold at the time, as if there was yin qi blowing on my body, I thought it was because I was seriously injured last night, so I didn't think much about it. Ding Xuefeng said what he felt at that time,
"I guess there may have been one or more ghost cultivators here last night, and now there is a faint corpse aura here, which is imperceptible to your cultivation now, but if it was yesterday, you might have felt it. Wang Qingwen said his thoughts.
"Is the thief who stole our things a ghost cultivator?" Zhao Ding and the others asked in surprise, they were indeed surprised, whether it was a skeleton zombie or a wandering ghost, they would devour their flesh and blood when they saw a living person, not to mention a living monk, the flesh and blood of a person who cultivated immortals was a great tonic for ghost cultivation, as long as they met it, they would not let it go. But Zhao Yunchuan and Ding Xuefeng actually met a ghost cultivator who saw wealth. Such strange things are really rare.
"Brother Zhao, we really walked away in the ghost gate last night!"
"Brother Ding, that's it, I'm scared when I think about it now. Ding Xuefeng and Zhao Yunchuan were surprised, and they began to break out in a cold sweat, and both of them were frightened at this time.
"Dean Wang, I didn't find anything suspicious here. "That's when someone came over and reported it...
"Let's all come up, let's go back to Linjiang Town now. Wang Qingwen wanted to go back as soon as possible after everyone arrived, the first reason was that they didn't find what they wanted here, and there was no point in staying here, and the second reason was that Wang Qingwen always felt restless, and the sky had already darkened, so he thought it was better to go back early.
