Forty years have passed, Jingnan Road has undergone a demolition and reconstruction, all the old houses have become high-rise buildings, and Erjing South Road has now become the most famous commercial street in Yueqing City.

Daoist Xuan Zhen himself couldn't understand the mysteries on the white paper at all, and he didn't know anything about Jingnan Road, so even if he came together, it would be useless, so Chen Xu came to find this detective agency alone.

However, in this No. 1 room on Jingnan Road, Chen Xu searched for a long time but did not find a place.

Fortunately, I finally met a courier delivery brother, and under his guidance, I found the location of No. 1 Jingnan Road.

It turns out that the location of No. 1 Jingnan Road is in the deepest part of a narrow alley, adjacent to garbage bins and toilets, and ordinary people may not have any interest in connecting urine and urine.

The style of this room is basically the same as it was forty years ago, it looks very old, and the strange thing is that its door is very small, but more like a dog hole, and with this toilet, it is no wonder that few people pay attention to it.

"Knock knock!"

No one came to open the door for a long time after Chen Xu knocked on the door, so he continued to knock, and waited for more than half an hour, and a head poked out timidly.

This is a little girl of about six or seven years old, not to mention her appearance for the time being, but she is dressed very plainly, her clothes are still used with several patches, and she does not look like a person who has practiced magical spells, but looks like a poor person forty years ago.

Chen Xu frowned slightly, he took out the blank paper and looked at it carefully, and after being sure that it was correct, he asked, "Hello, dare to ask if this is an extraordinary detective agency?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a trace of horror appeared on the little girl's face, and then she directly retracted her head, and then the door was slammed shut.

Chen Xu was stunned, what the hell is going on, even if that master dies, he shouldn't be so miserable, looking at the little girl's appearance, could it be that she has provoked some enemies.

After a while, a boy of about sixteen years old opened the door, his clothes were also old, but his eyes were bright and imposing.

"The Extraordinary Detective Agency was gone ten years ago." The boy said lightly.

When Chen Xu saw him like this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and couldn't help but ask: "Your ancestors should be cultivators, why are they so miserable?" ”

"It has nothing to do with you, the detective is gone, and you won't have to look for it again in the future." The boy's tone turned cold and he said indifferently.

"It seems that he really met some enemy, but this boy doesn't look like he has cultivated the magic power method, is it possible that their family has even lost the magic power?" Chen Xu sighed with great regret.

He didn't know that although the boy closed the door, he secretly looked at Chen Xu outside.

From the moment Chen Xu said that his ancestors were cultivators, this boy knew that he was extraordinary, and if it was an enemy, even if he closed this door, it would be useless, and the one who should take revenge would still break in.

Chen Xu's situation at this time did not seem to be hostile, and the boy secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It's good if it's not an enemy, even if it's for a magical spell, it's just a bunch of books, so why not let him take it!

Chen Xu stopped in front of the door for a while, and finally wanted to leave helplessly.

At this time, the boy was even more sure that Chen Xu really had no hostility, opened the small door again, poked his head out and said, "Wait, you come in and talk about it." ”

Chen Xu was quite surprised in his heart, he thought that his trip was in vain, but he didn't expect the little boy to open the door in the end.

The door of this house is very small, Chen Xu hunched his waist to enter, and after entering the inside, Chen Xu found that behind this small door was actually a passage to the basement, he followed the boy all the way, and finally he didn't know where he went.

"This is the Extraordinary Detective Agency, but that was ten years ago, and after my dad died, there were no detective agencies anymore." The boy pointed to a shabby sign and said in a depressed mood.

This sign was placed vertically, Chen Xu looked sideways, and the handwriting on the door was indeed exactly the same as on the paper.

But Chen Xu found that there were a lot of knife marks on the brand, and these knife marks were some years old, thinking they were left ten years ago.

"What the hell is going on?" Chen Xu knew that his guess was not wrong, the family really met the enemy, and it was only now that they were ruined.

"Qiu Jiabei, but you ran for nothing this time, and I only made you die when I brought you in, so as not to look for my family's location everywhere like some people." The boy walked back into the house.

"Who was that little girl before?" Chen Xu thought of the six or seven-year-old little girl, the boy's father died ten years ago, and that little girl was definitely not his own sister.

"A poor orphan, born with a disease, was thrown in the garbage heap, and I picked it up." The boy said lightly.

This boy is a good man!

Chen Xu secretly praised in his heart, but he couldn't help but think of the current predicament with the boy, and he admired it even more in his heart.

"It's a pity......" Chen Xu sighed, he prepared a check for 100,000 yuan, which was originally intended to be used to hire a master, but now that it looks like it should not be used.

"It's not easy for you, you take this check, it's fate." Chen Xu handed over the check, but the boy didn't take it, and his eyes stared at him for a long time before he replied, "No need." ”

Chen Xu looked at the boy, the boy didn't hide his expression, but a trace of joy flashed on his face when he saw the check, but then he seemed to think of something, so he rejected Chen Xu.

"Do you still practice spells now?" Chen Xu took back the check, and then asked.

The boy shook his head and pointed to a bookshelf in the corner, which had fallen horizontally to the ground, and the books were scattered, and he said, "The books here are all books on all kinds of spells and tricks, but now they are being thrown into the corner like rags. ”

Chen Xu silently walked over and picked up a book from the ground.

Turning the page in, the book he picked up was a very simple Taoist technique, called Lingyantong, which was a spell that anyone who could see the words on the white paper could cast, and the use was only to see those invisible ghosts.

He took a cursory look and didn't look for it again, but let out a long sigh.

Although the boy's body was not weak, he had definitely not practiced any exercises, and there were no traces of internal qi on his body.

According to what he said before, it was obviously because of the problem of the exercises, and there was no way to cultivate the spell.

"Do you want revenge?" Chen Xu asked again.

"Revenge? I don't have any exercises now, let alone revenge, it's a problem to even get by. ”

But although he said this, his eyes couldn't hide it, and there was unforgettable hatred in those eyes.

"I can give you exercises!" Chen Xu said.

After he said that, he took out the Aoki Gong, and then said: "Now it is completely different from ten years ago or forty years ago, there is no place with abundant spiritual energy, and it is very difficult to cultivate these spells. ”

"You want books on those spells?" The boy asked without any surprise.
