Master and I finally found the whereabouts of the plague ghost, only to find that there was actually a Yin cultivator who was giving it wind. The ensuing brief exchange made both sides jealous, and it eventually escaped from the well.

And then Jiang Xuan and the others who rushed over to support gave us a big black face and asked inexplicably!

"What do you want to say?" I wasn't as calm as Master, and my face dropped all of a sudden.

"Humph! Don't pretend to be deaf and dumb! Jiang Xuan said angrily, "We found that there were Yin cultivators with ghost cultivators in Longwei Village who triggered the early warning array, and my people even fought with them!" ”

"Did you catch a person or a ghost?" Master asked.

Jiang Xuan's face was dark and red, and it was obvious that he didn't take advantage of it in the fight. He was even more angry: "If it weren't for the fact that your Yin Cultivators and Ghost Cultivators were in the same stream and obstructed us, we would definitely be able to catch that plague ghost!" ”

"How do you think it's the plague ghost?" The master still asked very calmly.

"What the hell could it be if it wasn't?" Jiang Xuan was about to burst into flames.

The master sighed and said, "Longwei Village should only put *** over there, and the real plague ghost was here just now." If you don't believe it, you can go into the dormitory and take a look, there should be a few patients lying in it who have just been infected with the virus! With that, he pointed behind him.

"Then why did you let it go?" Jiang Xuan was stunned for a moment, but still reluctantly.

"Because the two of us can't beat it, it's as simple as that!" Master sneered. He then said to me, "Let's go, and they'll take care of the rest!" ”

I nodded, and followed Master swaggering away, leaving Jiang Xuan and the others blowing their beards and watching us leave.

Early the next morning, the mustache hurried to the small hotel where Master and I were staying, just in time for us to pack our belongings.

He was surprised, "Master Feng, where are you going?" ”

"Go back to Nanting."

"Why?"

"I can't help much here."

"Master Feng, don't say that, you helped a lot last night, but you almost caught that plague ghost! Would you please think about it again and stay to finish well? ”

The Master continued to pack his clothes in his hand and replied without raising his head, "No, I told you everything I could tell you." And the other situation that I have come here to investigate has been clarified, so there is no need to stay. ”

Seeing that he couldn't move my master, the mustache had to look at me for help.

I asked him first, "How did the patient on the farm last night go?" ”

"It's fine! Because it was discovered in time, only five employees were infected with the virus, and all of them have been isolated and treated. ”

"What about Jiang Xuan? Is he still trying to get us in trouble? ”

When this guy was mentioned, the mustache also looked very helpless: "He is also the head of a faction, and even President Xiang can't do anything about him." However, President Xiang and our Master Gong have great trust in you and Master Feng, and I still hope that you can stay and help solve this problem once and for all! ”

I peeked at Master, who was already packing his bags and changing his shoes. So I had to spread my hand and say to the mustache, "I can't do anything about this." It is also difficult to continue this kind of cooperation. ”

"I'll find a way to communicate this......"

"Go back and tell you President Xiang," Master suddenly interrupted the mustache and said, "There is no problem with the local Yin Cultivation Sect, it is not that they leaked secrets, but that others gave false information to mislead them!" You can safely bring them over again to help! ”

"But ......"

"I have another suggestion," Master still didn't give the mustache a chance to finish speaking, "Now that the exit of the Yin Veins infested by the plague ghosts has been determined, if you have sufficient human and financial resources, you can think of a way directly from Songtao Lake!" ”

With that, Master picked up his old backpack and walked out of the room. I could only shrug my shoulders at the mustache and hurriedly followed.

On the same day, I drove Master back to Nanting County. I don't think there's anything wrong with his approach, anyway, I have already found out that the plague ghost should have nothing to do with the mass grave tragedy, why should we stay in Yazhou and look at other people's faces?

Moreover, after that night's frontal interception, the Plague Ghost's whereabouts will be greatly restricted, because the Maoshan Daohui has already mastered many of its haunting patterns and routes. It is estimated that it will not be long before this matter will be resolved, either the plague ghost will be caught by the Dao cultivator, or it will retreat from the difficulties and die down.

After returning to Nanting for another week, my vacation was over and I had to return to Yincheng again.

As soon as I returned to Zuoqiu City, the Bird Meat Sanren told me a shocking big news: Wu Fang had defected!

As the hardest working subordinate of the city lord of Zuoqiu, and also the most principled deputy city lord in my mind, Wu Fang, who was nicknamed "Old Witch", actually defected!

In particular, what shocked the whole city the most was that Wu Fang did not defect to other Yin Cities or Underground Mansions, but actually took a few cronies to defect to the ghost army and followed the mysterious ghost marshal!

Yin Xiu is willing to obey the orders of the ghost cultivator, which is simply unheard of. So even though this incident has been happening for several days, it has still set off a huge controversy in Zuoqiu City, and almost everyone on the streets is talking about it. Of course, it is not possible for everyone to know the exact situation, and most of it is hearsay.

In fact, my own surprise is quite light, after all, I have already encountered such a strange thing in Yazhou before, which only makes my heart more full of doubts: Yin cultivation obeys the orders of ghost cultivation? Defecting to the Ghost Army? Could it be that Wu Fang's defection is also related to the chaos of the plague ghosts in the yang world?

Full of doubts, I still went to Cao Zhe to inquire about the situation. He's in the Guards, so he should know a lot of reliable information.

Cao Zhe said that he has been very busy recently, and it is also very sensitive to talk about this kind of topic publicly, so he did not go to the "old place" Lotus Bar to drink and chat as usual, but took advantage of the fact that the two of them hid in a corner of Xiacheng Square and had a brief chat when he just returned from shift.

"It's completely confusing!" Cao Zhe came to such a sentence as soon as they met. He took off his sweaty helmet and whispered to me, "No one can guess what the old witch thinks!" No one could have predicted that! ”

"Didn't there be any warning before?" I asked him.

"Nope!" Cao Zhe replied categorically, "Before the defection, the old witch had been taking care of her troubles as usual, and I didn't see her stealing or anything. And the few cronies who defected with her have been doing things as usual, and no one has shown any dissatisfaction! ”

"There can be no betrayal for no reason!" I'm also puzzled.

"But that's what happened!" Cao Zhe spread his hands and said that things were so bizarre and sudden.

"How did they get out?"

"Five days ago, the old witch brought a pair of two guard captains and four squad leaders, a total of seven people, all of whom were female Yin cultivators of the Shengyang Gang, saying that they were going to Zemen to check the defense of the outposts around Zeda. You also know that the guards guarding Zemen are also their people, so they didn't get suspicious and let them swagger out. ”

But after the curfew, none of the seven old witches returned. In the end, when the guards of one of the outermost outposts of Sawada came back to change shifts, they said that they saw them all the way in the direction of Death Ze! ”

"What are they doing in Dyingze?" I wondered.

"They don't necessarily go to Deathze, they may also slip away from other paths or Yin veins halfway, and they may end up going anywhere."

"And how do you know in the end that they all defected to the ghost army?"

"It was the Zuoqiu City Lord who reported it himself! All the people and ghosts in the upper and lower cities heard it! ”

"Zuoqiu City Lord?"

I was taken aback. This Zuoqiu City Lord rarely appears in my impression, let alone takes the initiative to show up and speak!

"What did he say?"

He said a few words and told everyone that the old witch had defected with six of her subordinates. Also, if anyone finds their traces, shoot them to death! Rewards! ”

I shook my head and smiled wryly. The day before, he was a loyal and diligent subordinate, and the day after that, he became a traitor with a bounty to hunt down. I'm afraid this is also a great blow to the elderly Zuoqiu City Lord, both in terms of prestige and mentality!

"As far as I know, the reason why the city lord of Zuoqiu knows that the old witch has defected is because the old witch left him a letter!" Cao Zhe lowered his voice before he dared to say this.

"That's what Wu Fang left a letter to tell the city lord of Zuoqiu?"

"Well, the letter was in the old witch's office, and it was only discovered the next day when the city lord sent someone to look for her."

"Why would she do that?"

"No one can guess!" Cao Zhe shook his head helplessly and said, "Maybe only the Zuoqiu City Lord who has read the letter will understand!" ”

"And how are you doing in the City Guard now?"

"It's embarrassing!"

"Why do you say embarrassing?" I was puzzled by Cao Zhe's use of this adjective.

"When the old witch ran away, it was impossible to take away all the female disciples of the Shengyang Gang, so she only took a few cronies, and the rest could only be abandoned in Zuoqiu City. But in this way, the remaining female city guards will definitely be questioned about their loyalty to Zuoqiu City, so now the pressure is great and the situation is embarrassing! ”

"What are the City Guards going to do with them?"

"No punishment has been taken for the time being, because they are completely unaware of this matter." Cao Zhebian flattened his mouth and was noncommittal: "Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the city guards are really short of manpower at the moment, otherwise they would all be driven away immediately!" ”
