Chapter 65: Hunting for Monsters
The murder in the teahouse was just a trivial matter for Xu Xian and others.
After all, they are just two Dao martial artists of the True Qi Realm, and they are not Daomen disciples, and they have just learned some outflow Dao Sect Mental Methods.
This kind of thing happens every day in Linhai, and naturally there are city guards to solve it, even if it can't be handled, it doesn't belong to the scope of responsibility of the Foreign Affairs Hall - demons are foreign affairs, people are not.
After about two quarters of an hour, the four of them arrived at their destination, and they were able to do so quickly thanks to the convenient transportation on the island in the middle of the lake.
The degree of modernization in the Daomen jurisdiction is indeed very high, especially in the two major fields of transportation and commerce, and even far exceeds that of Xu Qian's life.
Due to the existence of air lanes, the island in the middle of the lake can accommodate a very large amount of traffic, but only in the jurisdiction of Daomen.
Because after leaving the realm of the Daomen, there are no air traffic rules in the outside world that are perfect enough, and no one obeys them - do you expect the demon clan to wait for the red light?
What really makes Xu Xian feel inconvenient here is the field of communication.
Compared to the portable phone in the previous life, the Daomen also used the means of flying swords to pass the book, or relied on summons such as demon spirits to transport letters by spirit means.
But in the final analysis, ordinary disciples don't have instant means of communication, and there may be one inside the Dao Gate, but that's not something that Xu Xian can touch at the moment.
"This is it. A uniformed young man led Xu Xian and the others to a block, "Four immortal masters, this is the scene of the first crime, we have sealed off the surroundings and not let anyone in." ”
The direction of the young man's finger is a three-storey vertical attic, which is the most popular style at the moment.
Due to the development of air traffic, high-rise buildings are not prevalent in Linhai City, and two- or three-story lofts like this are the mainstream, but those who can afford it are basically the middle class.
Xu Xian took the information and looked at it again, the economic conditions of this family are indeed not bad, and the head of the household is a classical monk of the True Qi Realm, that is, the type who cultivates Taoism and does not know martial arts.
He is a registered disciple of the Daomen - he didn't pass the assessment in his early years, similar to Yu Yunchen, but he didn't get taken care of without a background - he usually made a living by making talismans, and he should have a certain amount of actual combat effectiveness.
Xu Xian and the four of them walked into the attic, and at this time, it had only been a day since the crime, and the smell of blood in the house had not yet dissipated, and several corpses were also placed as usual.
The four of them examined the corpses, and it was indeed as the city guards said, all of them were killed by gnawing on the neck, and there were obvious demonic remnants.
Speaking of which, Xu Xian didn't know what demonic qi was, but after seeing it once, he immediately understood.
Demon Qi is an extremely strange energy breath, which is completely different from the breath produced by the True Yuan, and is more like a power generated from the bloodline.
"It should be an ordinary monster crime. Wei Lecai finally concluded, "I think we will use the demon detection pestle to investigate, lest the monster run away." ”
"That's right. Tian Taiyu nodded hurriedly.
The so-called demon detection pestle,It is a special tool used to track demon energy.,This mission has a special one.,But after the mission is over, it's to be returned.。
The principle of this appliance is simple, and it is not expensive inside the Daomen, and many people will always have one, which has a miraculous effect when tracking demons and ghosts.
And the only downside is...... It can only be used within the jurisdiction of the Daomen.
It's not that the magic weapon itself has geographical restrictions, but if there are too many monsters around, a large number of various kinds of demon qi will seriously interfere with the judgment of the location of the magic weapon.
Only the situation where demons are forbidden to enter within the jurisdiction of the Daomen, and usually only a few demon clans infiltrate is more suitable for this kind of magic weapon.
Of course, Xu Xian didn't have a problem with this, he was following behind, as if looking around the environment, but in fact, he was always observing Yao Xinrui intentionally or unintentionally.
The appearance of the previous brave was due to the killing of another person, which made Xu Xian seriously suspect that the mechanism that triggered the brave was to complete the kill.
Although it may also be an act in this process, the act itself is undoubtedly the most likely.
If Xu Xian's guess is correct, it means that on the ship, Yao Xinrui is likely to have killed someone.
And this may be the reason why she was suddenly transferred to the Foreign Affairs Palace, and Tian Taiyu came over out of emotional factors.
Yao Xinrui seemed to sense something and turned her head casually, while Xu Xian also turned his head as if nothing had happened.
It was only Xu Xian who observed that she seemed to have been staring at the half-eaten corpse - it was the seventeen-year-old daughter of the head of the household.
"It seems strange...... Even if the monster wants to hunt for food, why would he choose an ordinary girl? The head of the household is a monk anyway. ”
Xu Xian couldn't help but touch his chin.
......
The exploration of the demon pestle went very smoothly, this demon clan didn't seem to be good at hiding his own aura, and the total amount of demon qi left was very sufficient, and the demon pestle quickly pointed out the direction for the four of them.
"To the east, it's about less than two miles away, and the other party hasn't run far yet!" Wei Lecai was indeed experienced, and just following the direction of the demon exploration pestle, he quickly asserted.
The four of them glanced at each other, and immediately got up and rushed to the east, without the city guards following them, after all, this was just an ordinary mission.
As the Explorer's pestle got closer, the target's hideout appeared to be exposed, an abandoned warehouse.
Wei Lecai couldn't help but laugh and said: "It seems that it's just a blood demon, if it's a half-demon or a spirit demon, there is a way to hide your demonic energy, and you won't hide in this kind of place." ”
After the demon clan reaches the spirit demon realm, it can restrain its own demonic energy, so that it will not be detected by others from afar, unless it uses supernatural powers.
And the half-demon is a hybrid of humans and demons, and some half-demons are born with the ability to restrain demonic energy.
Tian Taiyu is also a Dao martial artist, the short knife in his hand has been unsheathed, and he said with some excitement: "Senior Brother Wei, let me take the first step in the next step, and ask the three of you to press the formation for me!"
Wei Lecai is naturally happy to have someone come forward, and with his experience, he actually understands very well that the demon clan that can hide in Linhai City will have some ability.
However, he definitely wouldn't respond like this, and pretended to say: "No, the demon clan has a lot of natural powers, so let my brother ......go first."
While the two were talking, Yao Xinrui suddenly said, "Why don't you go in together...... Senior Brother Wei, I can help you hold the demon exploration pestle!"
Wei Lecai's face couldn't help but stiffen, but there was no problem with the suggestion of "go in together", so he had to hand over the demon exploration pestle with a forced smile and walk side by side with Tian Taiyu.
Xu Xian naturally followed, but he was a little behind, just behind the two, but next to Yao Xinrui.
So the four of them entered the abandoned warehouse almost at the same time, and the next moment, a strong demonic aura permeated the entire warehouse.
Tian Taiyu snorted coldly and said, "Demon, don't you come out to die?!"
Wei Lecai trembled instead, and pressed Tian Taiyu's shoulder: "Senior Brother Tian, it seems that something is wrong, this demonic aura is too strong......"
Tian Taiyu turned his head suspiciously, and when he was about to speak, a touch of red began to appear at the center of his eyebrows.
"Senior brother?"
Wei Lecai was stunned for a moment, and then saw Tian Taiyu staring, a finger running through the back of his head, slowly poking out from the center of his eyebrows.
