Chapter 31: The Truth of the Incident
The reason why Zhou Yan chose to live in a remote location was because from the information he received, he believed that the reason for the disappearance of the townspeople and those monks was definitely artificial, and it could not be the demons that the townspeople said.
Demon beasts will definitely make corpses all over the field when they attack humans, and the movement is very great, it is impossible to leave no traces at all, if the mastermind behind this matter wants to take action, Zhou Yan, a lonely person who lives in a remote location, is the best target.
So Zhou Yan was going to lure the snake out of the hole with a trick, so that the man would leak out of the horse's feet!
As for whether he would be that person's opponent, Zhou Yan was not worried at all. A guy who even attacks ordinary people is definitely not much stronger. If there was any accident, Lao Gu would not let him lose his life.
Lao Gu once said to Zhou Yan that in a fair duel Zhou Yan was killed, he would never help, even if the price was to disappear with Zhou Yan. Because as his master, being defeated in a fair duel is simply more shameful to him than death, but if someone crushes Zhou Yan with his realm, he will find a way to save Zhou Yan's life.
After Zhou Yan said goodbye to the mayor, he wandered around Shizhen to see if there were any clues.
All the doors of the town's residents were closed, and Zhou Yan could only knock on the door to ask from door to door, hoping to get some harvest from them.
After half a day, Zhou Yan knocked on most of the doors of the town's households, and the clues he got were almost the same as those from the mayor, and basically had no reference value.
It was getting dark. I really couldn't find a clue, Zhou Yan could only go back to the blacksmith's residence to rest, Zhou Yan's facial features were very sensitive, and the slightest movement could wake him up, so he didn't worry about being attacked when he fell asleep.
After a night without incident, Zhou Yan'an slept peacefully, and no one came to attack him as he imagined.
The next day, he spent half a day asking all the townspeople who had not asked yesterday, but he still did not ask any clues worth referring to.
Since he couldn't ask for clues, Zhou Yan began to wander around the town, hoping to find some traces left by those who disappeared, but in the end he found nothing.
In this way, another day passed, during which Zhou Yan also asked Lao Gu if he had found anything, but Lao Gu used a sentence: "Don't rely too much on the system!
Zhou Yan was sure that Lao Gu must know something, but he couldn't do anything about him if he didn't say that Zhou Yan couldn't do anything about him.
Zhou Yan wandered around Shizhen for three days, and every street in Shizhen was walked by him countless times, but he still found nothing.
The residents of Shizhen have their doors closed every day, and they don't leave their homes! In the past few days, only Zhou Yan has been wandering around the town alone.
"Little brother, I have something to tell you!" Zhou Yan walked to the entrance of the town, heard someone calling him, and followed the reputation, it was the family he knocked on the door on the first day of his visit to Shizhen.
An honest-looking middle-aged man poked his head out of the window.
This person's name is Zhang Zhu, and he is a hunter. The news of the demon in the town was the first to spread, and Zhou Yan originally wanted to ask him, but he didn't know how to start, but this person greeted him first.
"What's the matter!" Zhou Yan asked as he walked over to the window.
"Come in!" Zhang Zhu left the windowsill and opened the door.
Zhou Yan followed Zhang Zhu into the house, which was very shabby, except for a bed, a shelf for sundries, and a table. There is no other furniture.
At this time, it was evening, and Zhang Zhu was cooking on the fire! After dinner was ready, Zhang Zhu also presented Zhou Yan with a bowl of rice.
Dinner was simple, a bowl of rice, a stack of pickles.
"I hope the little brother won't be disgusted!" Zhang Zhu said to Zhou Yan.
"Didn't you have something to say to me?" Zhou Yan didn't move his chopsticks, but asked.
"Talk while eating!" Zhang Zhu had already picked up the rice and ate it.
"I'm not hungry now, you can say something if you have something!" Zhou Yan still didn't move his chopsticks, not because he disliked the poor food, but because he had to guard against people, he always felt that there was something wrong with this Zhang Zhu.
"I don't know what the little brother is taught from?" Zhang Zhu did not answer Zhou Yan's question, but asked this.
"No way to cultivate!" Zhou Yan replied, but in his heart, he was even more convinced that there was something wrong with this person. He never revealed to anyone that he was a disciple of Qingfeng Sect when he came to Shizhen, and even put the waist card with Aunt Feng.
Judging from the information given to him by Aunt Feng, Shi Zhen, the mastermind behind the scenes, not only attacked ordinary people, but also attacked monks, but two people returned from here safely.
That is the two people who came to investigate by the law enforcement team of Qinglong City, these two people Zhou Yan asked carefully, their cultivation is not high, and they only have a heavy heaven in the Qi Dan Realm.
Even one of the Qi Dan Realm Three Heavens monks was missing, why could these two Qi Dan Realm One Heaven monks go back safely? Because they had a background and belonged to the law enforcement team of the City Lord Mansion of Qinglong City, if they were missing, it would cause a large-scale investigation in Qinglong City.
That man was very jealous of this, so he didn't make a move on the two. If that person knew that Zhou Yan was a disciple of Qingfeng Sect, he would not dare to make a move on Zhou Yan, then Zhou Yan could only return in vain this trip, so Zhou Yan did not reveal his identity to anyone in the town.
Hearing Zhou Yan say that he was a nameless cultivator, Zhang Zhu trembled slightly.
"I don't know how cultivated the little brother is now!" Zhang Zhu continued to ask, and the more he asked, the more Zhou Yan doubted him.
"The kid is not talented, and he doesn't have a famous teacher to guide him, so he has only cultivated in the Cyclone Realm so far!" Zhou Yan replied, he felt that this Zhang Zhu was becoming more and more suspicious.
"Don't you have something to tell me?" Zhou Yan said as he looked at Zhang Zhu.
"Little brother, can you have a drink with me! I'm telling you slowly, my heart twists like a knife when I think of it! What I saw with my own eyes on the day my daughter disappeared!" Zhang Zhu picked up the wine jug on the table and poured himself a glass of wine. also poured a cup for Zhou Yan.
Zhang Zhu's daughter was indeed on the list of missing residents in the town, and she was one of the first few people to go missing, so Zhou Yan didn't suspect this person at first, but now Zhou Yan felt that this person was a big problem.
Zhang Zhu poured the wine for Zhou Yan, he didn't plan to drink it, but Lao Gu said at this time: "The wine has been drugged!"
"Then he still drinks?" Zhou Yan asked in his mind when he saw Zhang Zhu, who had drunk it all.
"This medicine has no effect on ordinary people, at most they will be asleep for half a day, and the monk will be blocked from the aura, and he will not be able to use it for a day! However, the effect of the medicine is limited, at most, it can only seal the cultivation of the Qi Dan Realm Fourfold Heaven Cultivator! It takes about two hours for this medicine to take effect!"
Zhou Yan was originally very smart, and as soon as Gu Gu explained, he basically understood the truth of the whole thing. It is estimated that he drank this glass of wine, and when the effect of the medicine took effect, the mastermind behind the scenes would appear and kidnap him, and this Zhang Zhu would help the abuse, and it had a lot to do with his missing daughter.
Zhou Yan, who didn't plan to drink this glass of wine, decided to drink this glass of wine, if he didn't drink this glass of wine, the mastermind behind the scenes would not have made a move. As for sealing the aura, although it had an impact on Zhou Yan's strength, it was not fatal, and it was not a big problem to deal with the monks of the Qi Dan Realm's second heaven.
The mastermind behind the scenes used the means of drugged, and his strength would not be too strong.
Seeing Zhou Yan drink the wine in the wine glass in one gulp, Zhang Zhu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and began to tell Zhou Yan the demon story he made up, Zhou Yan, who had already roughly guessed the truth, was naturally not interested in listening to these stories!
After Zhang Zhu finished telling the story, Zhou Yan hurriedly left.
Zhang Zhu looked at the back of Zhou Yan leaving, his expression was extremely complicated, but then he seemed to think of something, and immediately regained his firm expression. Then he closed the door and hurried away.
Zhou Yan, who didn't go far, watched all this from the corner, but he didn't follow, he knew that Zhang Zhu was going to inform that person that he had drunk poisonous wine, and he thought that person would take action at night!!
The reason why Zhou Yan didn't follow was because he was worried that he would fall short if he was discovered, so it was better to wait for the rabbit and wait for his arrival at the blacksmith's house.
When the time comes, if you have a plan or not, under the sneak attack, even if your strength is stronger than him, you will suffer a big loss!
