Chapter 259: Exploring the Murder Mansion at Night
Fang Yu made up his mind and prepared to start with Shen Jiading's matter to find out if what Yi Wuya said was true. Of course, in addition to this purpose, Fang Yu had other ideas.
The guidance technique of the ancient qi practitioner recorded on the wooden tablet last time was quite consistent with the laws of this world.
Fang Yu passed on the deciphered and adjusted guidance technique to Qian Duoduo and Qi Yi, and with the external skills routine of the "Ancient Five Fowl Opera", the growth of these two people immediately improved by leaps and bounds. Although it is not as good as Shang Yu, who can obtain extraordinary strength in just a few months, it is several levels higher than the previous level where he only stayed at the level of boiling his muscles and bones.
Wei Zhen also admitted that the channeling technique was also quite helpful in optimizing the internal refining method of the "Ancient Five Fowl Opera", which made Fang Yu the most excited.
When the chopsticks were still there, Fang Yu didn't necessarily care about this benefit, anyway, as the Taoist instrument of the "Way of Taste", the chopsticks were adapting to the laws of this world little by little every day. If you don't consider things like the Enlightenment Tribulation, even if you don't do anything, as long as Fang Yu can live for a thousand years for 800 years, maybe Wei Zhen will be able to completely transform the "Way of Taste" into a Dao that adapts to this world.
When the time comes, Fang Yu will go to comprehend the "Way of Taste" again, and it will be completely a palm view, and it will be clear at a glance, and the improvement of the cultivation realm will be as relaxed and happy as blowing up a balloon, a thousand miles a day.
Of course, this matter is just imagination, if Fang Yu is really the kind of guy who likes to get something for nothing, he is afraid that the Dao Nian of the Taste Sage will not choose him.
Besides, enlightenment has always been against the sky, and the taste saints who have become enlightened in their own world will still suffer a catastrophe, Fang Yu doesn't think that his own world will easily let go of himself, a "traitor" who has comprehended the path of another world. If you don't improve your skills as much as possible, I'm afraid that I won't live to the day when "the way of taste" is completely embedded in the world.
Therefore, Fang Yu chose to take the initiative to understand the "way of taste", try to cross the river by feeling the stones, and create his own path. Doing so was also supported by the miso spoon.
Step by step, a little bit of understanding the Tao of the Taste of the Sage, step by step also follow the old path of the Taste Sage, even in a different world, there is a great possibility of stepping on the peak of the world. But to do so is to completely bury the possibility of further oneself.
At the end of this world, at best, it is the state before the taste of the saint becomes enlightened, and at most it is to become the ruler of the "way of taste" in this world. But as the inheritor of the Taste Saint Dao Thought, Fang Yu still wants to go to the next level and truly turn the "Taste Dao" into a common avenue in the heavens and all worlds.
However, if you have lofty ambitions, you have to take high risks, and it is inevitable to cross the river by feeling the stones, stepping on the pits, and touching the thorns. Fortunately, with the assistance of Wei Zhen, Fang Yu had no worries at all in this regard, he only needed to be brave and diligent when cultivating, and there was no need for other superfluous distractions. Anyway, Wei Zhen would pay attention to all the problems for Fang Yu, and from time to time use his Dao power to help him adjust the defects in the exercises and repair the dark injuries on his body.
Now that Wei Zhen has fallen into a long sleep, it has left most of its abilities that can be stripped away, and turned it into a tablet in the kitchen god space, which is convenient for Fang Yu to use directly.
Fang Yu has already tried the application on the tablet left by Wei Zhen in the kitchen god space. There is an application called "self-optimization" that is specially designed to assist Fang Yu in adjusting his own state.
In the application, Wei Zhen designed a full-body diorama of Fang Yu. After each cultivation, Fang Yu only needs to activate the "Dao Power Blessing" function in the "Dao Power Management" app and adjust the Dao Force output to the first gear, then he can introduce Dao Power into his body, and then intuitively check and sort out his state through the "Self-Optimization" app.
This app is very intimate and easy to use, but there is still a big difference in whether the same ability is actively controlled by someone or not.
In the past, Mitsuki personally did this, and one Dao power was basically enough to complete a series of inspections, adjustments, and repairs. Now relying on the instinct of ability, the Dao power blessing of the first level can only last for one minute, and in this minute, Fang Yu is enough to understand his basic situation. If you want to repair the dark injuries on the body, of course, you can, but you need to enter another Dao power.
If you want to adjust your subtle practice route, it is even more terrible, and you also need to activate the "Gong Fa Analysis" function to link together, which is a big consumer of Dao power.
The so-called inappropriate family doesn't know the price of firewood and rice, Fang Yu used to these things in the past, and he still didn't understand the accumulated Dao power that Wei Zhen was always talking about, but now he feels that every bit of Dao power at hand is very expensive, and he can't wait to break it into two halves.
At present, there is no way to increase Dao power in the short term, but I still think of a way to save Dao power.
If there is also a channeling technique of the same level as the previous one on the other wooden tablet, then with the help of the "Exercise Analysis" function, the "Ancient Five Fowl Opera" can be optimized again, making this exercise more in line with the laws of this world, not only Fang Yu's cultivation efficiency is higher and his progress is faster, but it can also effectively reduce the cost of repair and adjustment.
Fang Yu read all the relevant information at hand and confirmed that there were no more discoveries, so he decided to go back to Shen Jiading's villa at night to have another look, maybe there would be other discoveries.
In the next few days, Fang Yu was silently preparing. He ran all over the vegetable markets in Shudu, looking as if he was selecting various ingredients, but in fact, he took the opportunity to look at the various monitors and security probes along the way, and secretly planned his own course of action.
On the day of the preparation, night fell very early, the lights of Shudu City flickered and were as bright as stars, and Fang Yu's small shop reopened after restoration, officially launching a variety of dishes in the fish-flavored series. The dishes of the Fish Flavor series are salty, sweet, sour and spicy, which are very appetizing and refreshing, and can change more charming flavors with different dishes, which are very popular with local diners, and have successfully ushered in a new wave of customer flow for the small shop.
Now Qian Duoduo and Qi Yi are basically able to take on most of the work in the kitchen, except for the core fish flavor that needs to be prepared by Fang Yu himself, most of the other dishes can be completed independently as long as Fang Yu guides them from time to time, which can be regarded as saving Fang Yu a lot of time.
The time of the day passed quickly in the busy, and by the time the last customer paid for it satisfactorily and left, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening. Fang Yu asked Qian Duoduo and Qi Yi to go back first, locked the door of the small shop by himself, and went upstairs to wash and rest as usual.
At one o'clock in the morning in the second half of the night, Fang Yu, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, got dressed and put on a small black bag on his back, and quietly went out from the back door of the small building. He turned around the alley several times to make sure that no one was following him, and then left Jinhe Road with peace of mind.
Since the last time he knew that someone would eavesdrop on him, Fang Yu had been very careful. Yi Wuya's special department seemed to have great powers, and Fang Yu didn't want to become a pantomime under people's noses all the time he was busy.
Fang Yu left Jinhe Road, there was no fight, once he came into contact with people, he might leave traces of his actions, which Fang Yu tried his best to avoid. He walked straight to a bicycle stop near a neighborhood not far away.
That stop is now filled with bikes of all colors, most of which are shared bikes. Fang Yu didn't use his mobile phone to swipe those shared bicycles, because Fang Yu listened to those scientific and technological terms every day, and finally knew that behind these bicycles was a rigorous big data system.
This means that if you do something on these bikes that you don't want people to know, the route will be clearly recorded. In fact, Fang Yu didn't even bring a mobile phone tonight, because the automatic positioning function of the smartphone is also likely to become a tool for others to monitor themselves.
Fang Yu had already bought a bicycle on the side of the road this morning and quietly placed it at this bicycle parking spot. Because Fang Yu deliberately chose a commuter car with no characteristics, it is not at all conspicuous when put together with those colorful shared bicycles.
Fang Yu rode his bicycle and followed the route he had planned before, and walked along the alleys, avoiding the security probes as much as possible to make sure that his figure did not appear under any monitors and probes.
Shen Jiading's villa was nearly twenty kilometers away from Fang Yu's small building, and it took more than an hour to get to the vicinity even at Fang Yu's speed.
It's the second half of the night, and the nightlife in many places has ended, and the lights in the city are no longer as bright as in the first half of the night, but the street lights all over the city still reflect the sky in a dark red.
Shen Jiading's villa is located on the edge of Shudu, and there are not many people nearby, since he heard about the murder, no one dares to come here at night.
Fang Yu hid his bicycle in the shadow of a roadside tree and walked into Shen Jiading's villa silently.
The villa in the darkness looked silent and hideous against the dark red sky. The last time Fang Yu came, it was still brightly lit and full of people, but now it was like a dead giant beast, constantly exuding an aura that no one could approach.
Although Fang Yu was not afraid, he was still a little embarrassed when he saw this villa, he had lived in a happy and stable society for more than 20 years, and he had never known that there were so many unimaginable things in the world. Seeing the corpses lying in pools of blood in this villa that day, he realized that he was now living in a different world.
Now the most reliable brother around me has left him, and everything is on his own. Fang Yu thought about his thoughts, and walked through the outer garden to the outside of the villa.
The last time the police investigated the scene and failed to find enough clues, they temporarily sealed the villa with a seal. Fang Yu had no intention of breaking those seals, and with the help of the suction of the Earth Xingyuan Force, Fang Yu was like Spider-Man, climbing directly to the top of the villa along the drainage pipe on the side of the villa.
Some of Shen Jiading's villas have a European-style layout, and there is a small attic above the second floor of the villa. Fang Yu stepped directly on the roof and walked to the attic, put on the latex gloves prepared in advance, put his palm on the small window of the attic, and shook it slightly, shaking the simple small plug behind the window to jump. Fang Yu took advantage of the momentum and pushed open the window and jumped in.
The attic was pitch black, full of the smell of dust, Fang Yu held his breath, and used Yuan Force to enhance his eyesight, so that he could see the situation in the attic clearly.
The attic is not big, only less than ten square meters, it is estimated that someone often came to tidy it up before, so this small attic is not cluttered inside. In fact, if it weren't for the dust that is now falling, the decoration in this attic can be called cozy and warm.
To the left of the attic is a small bookshelf, and judging by the romance books on it, it turns out that it should be a woman who is often here. There is a cute rattan kennel under the bookshelf, and there are soft straw mats with beautiful patterns, which are extraordinarily exquisite.
Facing the small window of the attic, a large rocking chair was placed, and Fang Yu could imagine the original owner sitting in the rocking chair on a sunny afternoon, letting the warm sun shine on his face and taking a short rest.
Next to the rocking chair is a small coffee table with an open book and a teacup with half of the drink left. It seems that the owner of the rocking chair has not had time to finish this cup of tea, and left after reading the book. Left and never came back.
Fang Yu had already guessed who this rocking chair belonged to, Fang Yu didn't like the Ah Bian who had deceived him, but he couldn't help but sympathize with this woman who was kept in a cage like a canary. She had dreamed of a future life in this attic, but she would never have imagined that she would end up being killed like a sacrificial animal.
Fang Yu picked up the half-read book, blew off the dust, and the page that was revealed was a very familiar illustration to Fang Yu. This book is not one of those love stories on the attic bookshelf, but a legendary book with embroidered images.
Although this legendary book was not the one he had seen in the Shudu Library before, the familiar style of painting made Fang Yu feel that this embroidered image was probably also from the hand of the court painter of the previous dynasty.
This embroidered image is also about the legend of gods and monsters, but the content of this embroidered image is a three-headed and six-armed ghost devouring some small people in armor, and there are many stumps and broken arms around the ghost god, as well as the corpses of some livestock and horses.
Although the painting style is as simple as ever, the characters are only outlined with lines of different thicknesses, and there are not too many complex details to render. But even so, with his superb technique, the artist was able to depict the grim demeanor of the ghost and the despair of the devoured villain with just a few strokes.
At the same time, the artist also adopted a composition completely different from that of local paintings, and successfully showed the tragic scene of the sea of corpses and blood through just the right amount of blank space and the different expressions of different characters.
Fang Yu didn't know art, but he could still tell that the level of this embroidered image should be more mature and superb than the one in the Shudu Library.
Now Yu is even more interested in this book, he is secretly happy in his heart, he has not officially started the search today, but there is a harvest, and today can be regarded as a good start.
Because the light was too dim, even with Fang Yu's eyesight, it was already the limit to be able to see the embroidered image, and it was too difficult to read the words on the book clearly, so Fang Yu rolled up the book and stuffed it into the small bag behind his back, ready to go back and take a closer look.
Fang Yu walked to the stairs on the right side of the attic and was about to go downstairs, when he suddenly heard a small sound coming from the small door at the end of the stairs, and Fang Yu immediately stopped.
Walker Meow: It's really hard to write something with peace of mind, and there are things all the time. Today, the old man talked about juvenile madness, and impulsively applied for an on-the-job master's degree. In December, I had to reach the level of English for graduate school in a month, devour most of the four major courses, and then take the exam for which I had only one percent hope. I must be crazy. Not to mention, I have to make a PPT for others, a debt of affection, and I don't know what time I can go to bed at night.
