Volume 1: I Am the Heavenly Master Chapter 196 Tongming Lane
"Can I do it too?" Wang Wei showed a look of expectation.
Ancestor, Yao, Zhuang Yan, and I looked at each other and nodded as if understanding.
"In this way, the affairs on both sides of us tomorrow are very important, considering your limited ability, it is better for you to follow the ancestor tomorrow and let him arrange everything, how about it?" I told Wang Wei that I couldn't take her tomorrow.
"Oh!" Her mood is not high, probably because she likes to follow Yao, or me.
"Don't worry about it, tomorrow we are going to spy on one of my peers, because you are not good enough, and I am afraid of revealing your whereabouts. I really can't guarantee you when the time comes. I comforted Wang Wei again, looked at the time, and it was almost dawn.
Zhuang Yan washed casually, she was so tired that she wanted to lie on the bed for a while. I took a shower and watched TV with my ancestors.
At this time, I can sleep until dinner.
The sky was bright, the sun had not yet come out, the ancestor called Wang Wei, and the two souls went out of the window and went over there.
I set an alarm clock and went to the kitchen to see if I could cook breakfast for two.
At seven o'clock, Zhuang Yan woke up by herself and came out to wash her face and brush her teeth.
I especially admire her, no matter how late she sleeps, she always gets up on time the next day. I'm a lot worse at that, I can only wake up early when I go to bed early on time, and if I stay up late, I can ignore the sound of the alarm clock the next day.
When we arrived at Tongming Lane, it was just after eight o'clock. According to the location mentioned by Hu Xuan, we came to the rental house, and although I had the key, I still knocked on the door.
Hu Yan opened the door and saw Zhuang Yan stunned at first, and only when she remembered that she was also a heavenly master, did he let us into the room.
This room is divided into two rooms, a living room and a bedroom. There is also a bathroom partition, just like a bachelor apartment. It seems that the landlord is still a bit avant-garde and has made it like this to attract young men and women.
There is a bed in the bedroom, which is made in the hotel way. The living room coffee table, sofa and water dispenser should have been left by the tenant or landlord in front of you. Near the window, a new single-person computer desk sits a computer displaying images from an infrared monitor.
An orange mass curled up there, motionless, probably not awake yet.
"Hu Xuan, what is my mission? Also, when are you going to change me at night. "I followed Hu Xuan's instructions, looked around the room first, and came to ask him.
"Actually, it's nothing, the computer will record his whereabouts for a day, as long as it's still inside. During the day, you can wander around to see if there are any signs of soul activity in the vicinity, and just keep an eye out for movements. As he spoke, Hu Xuan led us to the computer and taught us how to use the viewing function.
It's equivalent to what we should do and what we do, about two or three hours, come and click on it to check. You can view the recorded video at four times the speed, find out what is wrong, and make a time node record.
"It's as simple as that?" I don't believe it, this job can also give three hundred days?
"That's all we can do now, waiting for new discoveries, what to do...... Yang Ji trusts you very much. Hu Xuan saw my doubts and explained.
I realized that there was only so much I could do until the events had progressed.
"Understand, remember to bring the keys when you go out, I will come back before seven o'clock in the evening." Here's all for the two of you! Hu Xuan didn't stop too much, and after finishing speaking, he picked up one of his briefcases and was about to leave.
After sending Hu Yan away, I returned to my room, where Zhuang Yan was already reviewing the video recorded last night. The video is split into 10-minute segments, and each file has a start time record, which is very convenient to view. During the day, due to the increase in ambient temperature, the infrared imaging is somewhat blurry, but it can still roughly distinguish the trajectory of people's movements.
There was also a notebook and pen on the table, which recorded what Hu Hao felt was suspicious. The most prominent one is that since Hu Yan came here, he has never seen that person go out.
Zhuang Yan looked at it for a while and felt bored, she couldn't sit still with this kind of work.
"Childe, why don't I sneak over and have a look tonight?"
"Don't make a fuss, last time those two souls, I think I'm about to catch up with He Feng. Such a powerful person has been surrendered by him, you go over...... I'm afraid of danger. If it were the first ancestor, I would be more relieved. ”
"Why don't we go around the neighborhood first. I was going to come here to fish, but who knew that our Yang Tianshi almost lost his life. Zhuang Yan finished with a smile, waiting for me to speak.
"Thanks to you." I took her hands.
Zhuang Yan's face turned red, and Yao hurriedly said: "Childe, don't make this kind of joke at this time, I haven't even figured out where to hide." ”
There was no plan, I packed the key and led Yao out with Zhuang Yan.
Downstairs, we walked aimlessly down the alley in the village. It really worked like this, the key is Yao's perceptual ability.
The alley in the village is much smaller than Tongming Alley, and pedestrians can only just stagger their bodies, and two motorcycles meet and cannot meet normally. Fortunately, at the beginning of the planning, there was always a space at intervals where people could use the space to stagger each other and move on. The village is very quiet, there are not many people, and the small alleys lead in all directions, all paved with stone slabs, and there seems to be the sound of running water below.
Zhuang Yan seemed to remember something, and according to her understanding, there should be a well in the middle of this village.
But the alleys were so wide that there were no signs, and we could always go out through another exit, but we never saw the well that we had solemnly predicted. After about an hour or so, we wanted to take a slow stroll back.
"Miss Childe, there are no less than ten souls gathered in the ghost cultivator house here. It's a lot more than when we came that day, so be careful. "Approaching the ghost cultivator's house, Yao reminded him.
It shouldn't be a big problem, it was just attracted by the Heavenly Master, and the Tao should not be high.
Coming from the alley, we were about to go back to the rental house, and when we passed by the door of the ghost repair, the door that had been in disrepair for a long time 'creaked' and opened.
I hurriedly raised my arm and put my arm on Zhuang Yan's shoulder and hugged her, trying to pretend to be a passing couple.
"I don't know if my friends visit, forgive me."
There was an old man with fairy wind bones standing at the door, a very old man. Taoist robes and cloth shoes, lean body, eyes attentive, one hand folded to greet us.
"Greetings from fellow Daoists!" I knew I couldn't dodge, so I hurriedly folded my hands and returned the salute.
The old man's eyes were like torches, staring at me, "Since you are here, can you appreciate your face and come in for a while." ”
"That'...... It's bothered. I was confused, and it seemed that I couldn't refuse this request.
At this point, I felt like there was no way back. There are some things that don't necessarily come when you're fully ready. This sudden situation can only be taken one step at a time.
Zhuang Yan didn't know how to talk at all, and when she saw that I was going into the house, she followed me and crossed the threshold into the house.
The house is an old house, with a mixed structure of civil and engineering, and the foundation of the exterior wall is made of stones, and when you enter the house, the light dimms instantly.
Contrary to what I knew, there was not a patio when I entered the door, but a low hallway, and the second floor was just above the gate. After walking a few steps, about four or five meters, I arrived at a patio.
I think the door should be open here.
However, now is not the time to study the structure of the house. Because of the low and dark place on the first floor, I caught a glimpse of three or five souls, gathered there, looking at us with strange eyes, including the old man.
"Two fellow Daoists, I don't know what you're doing here?" The old man stopped, and turned around slowly.
What does this make me say? Say that my soul senses that you have a problem here, and has come to trouble you?
"We just walked through the place that day, and we thought the village was very interesting and wanted to find someone to find out about it. But I don't know if you old man, why do you release your soul to attack us without saying a word? Zhuang Yanyi asked rhetorically.
"Found it interesting? The two of them found the village interesting at 10 p.m....... If it weren't for my soul of two thousand years of cultivation, who would believe it? Now, please tell the old man, why did the two of you kill the soul that I had worked so hard to cultivate for a hundred years? The old man's expression was serious, and he looked like he was about to make trouble.
I secretly raised my guard...... Perhaps, he really felt sorry for the two high-stage souls who died.
"Ghost cultivation is a cancer in the world, and everyone can punish it. If it weren't for us who knocked on the door that day, I wonder how many years your old man would have been able to add to them? "Seeing Zhuang Yan's toughness, I don't have to be polite to him anymore.
Although his strength is unknown, however, as the old saying goes, the fist is afraid of being strong. Besides, how can his two fists be able to match our four hands, uh...... It's six hands.
That's right, that's how I judged the situation, and I was so powerful.
"The soul of nearly a thousand years that has been searched for thirteen years and captured after a thousand hardships, coupled with his own hundreds of years of training, persuades them to be good everywhere. It's so easy to train so well-behaved and sensible, you guys are good, come on, and kill them, how can this make the old man live in peace......" The old man seemed to be weak and couldn't help it, and complained to the two of us.
But I found that he had his feet staggered back and forth, his feet solid, and he was ready to attack.
"I don't know if the so-called kindness of friends is to pick up passers-by and rob property to absorb yang power." I've also shifted my weight a little bit to the left to tighten my guard.
"It is rare for a thousand-year-old soul not to take the initiative to hurt others. Isn't that good? The old man continued viciously.
It seems that he has never seen a soul like He Feng, and I was about to give an example, when the old man shouted angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!" Take your life as a pay..."
As soon as the words fell, I saw him throw his hands forward with open hands and throw them out at the same time.
Thousands of spiritual lights flickered, and the cuffs danced along his arms, and dozens of spiritual lights flew out, attacking me and Zhuang Yan respectively.
The incident happened suddenly, and the place covered by the spiritual light completely covered me and Zhuang Yan, and I didn't have time to think about it.
Fortunately, I was already prepared, and my left leg kicked the ground, allowing my body to fly out in the direction of Zhuang Yan instantly. All I thought about was that at least I could save Majest from the light.
Unexpectedly, I pounced on Zhuang Yan with one move, and the two of us were able to successfully dodge all the aura thrown out of his cuffs. I could hear the crackling sound of the wall behind me, and I guess it was all hitting the wall.
The old man didn't expect me to be on guard, and although Zhuang Yan and I rolled to the side in an ugly posture, we dodged his close fatal blow.
"Good boy, there are two hits."
After speaking, the old man rolled backwards and entered a room with the door already open.
The two of us fell to the ground and rolled a few times to quickly stabilize our bodies, Zhuang Yan knelt on one leg and was staring at the old man. I've put on a defensive stance, and in order to make my image better, I'll cluble the ground with one hand and raise my right hand back. I was ready to see the opportunity to step forward, but I didn't want him to roll backwards and enter the room.
Zhuang Yan got up and wanted to chase in, but I hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Don't, be careful of deception." ”
Only then did Zhuang Yan react, with the old man's vicious and ruthless move just now, she had to guard against it.
We steadied ourselves and looked around. The houses on three sides are arranged in a concave shape, all two stories high, and the staircase up to the second floor is right in the middle of the house next to us. Now that he had entered a slightly darkened room on the first floor of the east side, Zhuang Yan and I did not dare to break in.
