Section 213: Diverting Investigations

"What do you mean kid? Is it to look down on the old man? Or are you also interested in the Nine Palaces Yama? Want to follow the trail on your own? Hearing that Zhang Su directly rejected his proposal, Shi Xian asked a little angrily.

"Senior Shi, don't get me wrong, you are a soul immortal, I am a half-soul ancestor, naturally I have no qualifications to look down on you, and my purpose is only a ghost who has turned over, and I am not interested in the treasure of the Nine Palaces of Yama." Zhang Su hurriedly explained, for fear that Shi Xian would misunderstand him.

"Then why did you refuse my offer? You kid explained it to me clearly, my old man offered to help someone, or the first time he was directly rejected, you kid made me very unhappy. Shi Xian asked reluctantly, obviously feeling that he couldn't hold his face.

"That's right, senior, your real purpose is actually to investigate the Nine Palaces Yama Organization, right? More precisely, it's for the clue of the treasure hidden by the Nine Palaces Yama Organization, right? That's why you agreed to accompany me to investigate the dump ghost, right? Of course, I don't mean anything else by this, I just want to explain things in advance, so that things can be explained later. Zhang Su explained seriously.

"So what, otherwise I'll be running around with you as a junior if I'm fine?" Shi Xian didn't know what Zhang Wei was trying to explain, so he frowned.

"I didn't mean that, I didn't blame you, if a soul fairy like you can follow me to track down the dump ghost, it would be my honor, how could I care about the real purpose of the old-timers, but I think it may be a waste of resources to do so, because we can go to explore the Nine Palaces Yama and the dump ghost in two ways according to the clues, improve the efficiency of the tracking, and save energy and time." Zhang Su explained with Guan Zi.

"Two ways? What do you mean? In detail. Shi Xian knew that Zhang was selling Guanzi, and still asked curiously.

"Shi seniors don't know, I was investigating the stronghold set up by the Ghost Guards in Qi City before I went to pick you up at the high-speed rail station today, and after the ghost banquet, I also found out some new clues, which are about the Nine Palaces Yama, and that clue is currently only known to me." Zhang replied playfully.

"New clues? Let's talk about it. Shi Xian asked eagerly. Recommended ReadingTV//

"Senior Shi has already heard me about the Lei Lin Ghost Banquet just now, and you also know that I killed two ghost guards, although the spiritual sense of those two ghost guards exploded, but I still collected some information from the remnants of those two ghost guards, so I directly traced the stronghold set up by the ghost guards in Qi City, or the stronghold set up by the Nine Palaces Yama in Qi City, and in that stronghold, I found something interesting." After Shi Xian asked, Zhang Su explained unhurriedly, and at the same time took out a thumb-sized Bauhinia-colored crystal fishtail pendant from his pants pocket and handed it to Shi Xian.

"This is ......, a Horcrux used to hide souls? However, it seems to have been broken, and the soul marks on it have almost been erased. Shi Xian took the fishtail pendant from Zhang Su's hand, looked at it carefully, and then used his soul power to refine it

and finally concluded.

"Well, this is an object left by the Ghost Guards on the body of the person who was taken away, although the function has been destroyed, but judging from the characteristics of the remnant soul on it, it is indeed a Horcrux that can hide the soul, although I don't know the value of this Horcrux, but it is obviously not an ordinary thing that is easy to obtain, who is making these Horcruxes for the Ghost Guard? Isn't Senior Shi curious about this? Zhang Su asked.

"Indeed, it is not uncommon for ghosts to travel around the world with their bodies, and it is really rare for ghosts and ghosts to have Horcruxes after they have won them, and the meaning of you showing me this is nothing more than to tell me that someone in Qicheng secretly creates Horcruxes for these ghosts, right?" Shi Xian understood what Zhang Su meant and responded.

"That's right, those ghost guards only arrived a few months before the Lei Lin ghost banquet was held, and the people who were taken away and occupied their bodies were also security guards who had been working in Qicheng for a long time, and it was impossible for the ghost guards to carry those physical horcruxes in the form of ghosts, that is to say, the horcreature on the ghost guards was not from outside Qicheng, but was temporarily equipped after arriving in Qicheng, I have learned that the other two ghost guards also have similar objects, and they can equip the three ghost guards with the same horcruxes at the same time, which means that Qicheng is in addition to those ghost guards, There should be other members from the Nine Palaces Yama Organization who are hidden in the vast sea of people, either soul masters, or souls and ghosts who are hidden in the Takeaway, in short, there are hidden nails buried in Qi City by the Nine Palaces Yama Organization. Zhang Su analyzed.

"Judging from this small object, you do have some truth in your analysis, although this kind of soul-concealing Horcrux is not very precious, but it is also very valuable, three at a time, its cost will not be too low, and after use, it can be destroyed directly without distress, this kind of handwriting is obviously not something that ordinary forces can afford, Qicheng is not a big place, there should not be many organizations with this strength, investigate and investigate, you should be able to find out who is supplying these things to the ghost guards in this world, You can also know the eyes and ears of the Nine Palaces Yama in Qi City, which is a good breakthrough point. Shi Xian pondered for a moment and suddenly said clearly.

"Well, that's what I mean when I say that the soldiers are divided into two roads, I'll go and explore the possible strongholds of the ghost guards along the road according to the direction of the ghost escape, and Shi senior, you are staying in Qi City, find out who is supplying these horcruxes to the ghost guards, and then we exchange information with each other, if there is an intersection of information, then it is likely to directly unveil the mystery of the Nine Palaces Yama Organization." Zhang Su nodded and explained.

"It's a good idea, but why did you go after it and I stayed in Qi City? For that overturned ghost who may be about to reach the first order of the Ghost King, wouldn't it be better for me to track it down? After Zhang Su explained, Shi Xian asked with a puzzled expression.

"I can't carry out an investigation in Qicheng, you always know that I have the label of the Soul Hunting Company behind my back, and I'm just an ordinary employee, if I go to investigate, most of the forces will not be able to buy it, once the news of my investigation spreads, do you always think the company will sit idly by?

Zhang Su shook his head and replied, then asked with a smile.

"Also, your status is low, those soul master families in Qicheng must be few to buy it, and the soul hunting company has a special intelligence investigation agency, you go to check it yourself after you conceal the report, if the company knows, it will obviously question your motives, and your life in the company will not be easy in the future, but you are out of the house, leaving the jurisdiction of the Qicheng branch of the soul hunting company where you work, you can let go of some hands and feet, well, old man, I understand, then I will stay in Qicheng recently, and the clue chain outside will be handed over to you, If you need my help, just contact me in time. Shi Xian thought about it, and finally readily agreed.

"Senior Shi is really a smart person, I understand it as soon as I say it, I admire and admire, but Senior Shi, I may have to go to the headquarters of the Soul Hunting Company for an ability appraisal in the near future, and the investigation will be delayed a little, and some progress may be delayed, and I hope that Senior Shi Haihan." Seeing that Shi Xian agreed, Zhang Su knew that this old monster would not always follow him in the future, so he immediately felt relieved and explained.

"I know, it's the day after tomorrow, right, here you go, these two things are what I promised you just now, borrow a spirit pill and a heavenly treasure magic robe, you take it temporarily when you go to the headquarters, there shouldn't be any problems, just return it as soon as possible after you're done." After Zhang Su's explanation, Shi Xian nodded, and then rubbed a wide-ring ring ring shaped like a thimble on his finger with his hand, and released two Horcruxes from it and threw them to Zhang Sudao.

Zhang Su grabbed the two horcruxes that Shi Xian threw at him, and looked at them carefully in front of him, the borrowed spirit pill was similar to the marble iron pill in a small bearing, and there was nothing peculiar on the surface, but when Zhang Su probed his soul power into it to investigate, he found that it was actually a soul storage space similar to a soul core, and it was more than enough to store all the souls of a person; The other Tianbao robe is an underwear woven from crystal clear silk, Zhang Su simply draped it on his body and tried it, and found that after the silk robe touched his body, a transparent light film was vaguely formed on the surface of his body, completely blocking the interference of the outside world's spiritual consciousness outside the body, making people feel as if they had entered a quiet world that was isolated.

"A good Horcrux, a reward from Xie Shi's seniors." After exploring the two Horcruxes, Zhang Su bowed his hand at Shi Xian.

"It's not a reward, it's just a favor I owe you to pay off the debt, and it's just an equivalent exchange." Shi Xian waved his hand and refused.

"Is renting these two Horcruxes a favor? That means I have one more chance of an equivalent exchange, right? Zhang Su asked with a smile.

"That's right, do you want to get it again?" Shi Xian nodded and asked back.

"Well, how about I want to change the seal of the stone senior? I don't know if this is not within the exchange principle of Shi Senior? Zhang Su responded, and then asked.

"Sealed? You mean to keep a seal on the fact that you have a wraith spirit, right? Shi Xian seemed to guess what Zhang Su meant, and asked.

"That's right, I know that Senior Shi has a good relationship with the Pu family, maybe not

Hide secrets from each other, but I still hope that Shi seniors don't tell me about my Wraith Spirit, after all, if the people of the Pu family know, Zitong and I may not have a good time in the future, so I want to exchange a favor for Shi seniors' tight-lipped about one thing, I don't know if Shi seniors are willing? Zhang Su nodded and replied.

"Well......, since you have said so, then I will agree, of course, not only for you, but also for Pu Xiaohua, if the people of the Pu family really find out that Pu Xiaohua has leaked the secret skills of the family, then Pu Xiaohua's status in the family will not be guaranteed, I don't want to see any trouble with Pu Xiaohua who is like my granddaughter, so I will not pursue the matter of the wraith today." Shi Xian nodded and promised.

"Then thank you Shi seniors first." Hearing Shi Xian's promise, Zhang Su nodded happily and bowed to Shi Xian again.

"I said, this is an equivalent exchange, it's a transaction, you don't need to thank me, but I'm not the only one in this room now, if someone else says it, then it's not the old man who is to blame." Shi Xian looked at He Lu and Qu Ling with his eyes, and then said meaningfully.

"Since Grandpa Shi won't say it for Zitong, then with the relationship between me and Zitong, there is no reason to say it, I think Qu Ling doesn't care about this matter, and she shouldn't say it, so before the competition to recruit relatives, no one else should know about this matter except for these people in the house now." After Shi Xian finished assuring, He Lu pondered for a while, and also assured Zhang Su and Pu Zitong.

"Then thank you Sister He Lu." He Lu assured, Zhang Su nodded at He Lu and thanked him.

"Don't be busy thanking me yet, I'm not for you, but for Zitong's safety, and you have to promise us that this ghost will not be leaked to others in the future, otherwise, Grandpa Shi, and the Pu family will not let you go." He Lu shook his head and warned Zhang Su seriously.

"Sister He Lu, don't worry, I still want to live longer." Zhang Su replied with a smile.

"Okay, then let's continue to eat, oops, it's such a fuss, the dishes are a little cold, you continue to talk, Zitong and I will go to the kitchen to heat the hot dishes first." Hearing Zhang Su's answer, He Lu looked at Pu Zitong, who had not spoken much, no longer continued to discuss the matter of the ghost, patted Pu Zitong on the shoulder, and walked towards the kitchen with some cold food with Pu Zitong, obviously having something to say to Pu Zitong.

"I don't have anything to eat for the time being, so let's talk first, Zhang Su, I won't ask about the wraith, but now you have to tell me all the information about the Oni Guard, including some details, as well as your conjectures about the possible situation, I want to know everything, I don't want to run any more wrongful ways, you know what I mean." Seeing He Lu and Pu Zitong leaving, Shi Xian spoke to Zhang Su.

"The meaning of the old man Shi is understood by the younger generation, if you want to talk about specific clues, you should still focus on the fishtail pendant-shaped Horcrux, although the younger generation does not understand the production of the Horcrux, but from that pendant

Judging from the material, it can be judged that it is made of some kind of imported products that flow in from outside Qicheng, and the place where this kind of crystal ore is sold is only about three or four places in Qicheng, one of which is Jingwei Street, where there are many jade shops, and there are all kinds of ores in various places, I once went to a trip when I was hunting souls, I have also seen this kind of bauhinia crystal there, and the apprentice who was killed by Shi seniors is also there, Shi seniors can go to investigate by the way. Zhang Su didn't hide it, and combined with the clues, he told Shi Xian a little bit of what he knew.

"Warp and Latitude Street, yes, I see, anything else? Where are the others? Hearing Zhang Su's judgment, Shi Xian nodded and said.

"In addition to Jingwei Street, there are also many antique and jade shops in the Xizhi Market in the west, compared to Jingwei Street, the shops there are mostly real and fake antiques and jade mixed sales, so there are many types, like this kind of crystal from other real estate should also be available, Shi old-timers can also go there to explore." Zhang Su introduced.

"Xizhi Market? Well, is there anything else? After Zhang Su's introduction, Shi Xian continued to ask.

"The third place is in the national culture street in the center of Qicheng, where rare treasures, flowers, birds, fish and insects are sold, and gadgets like this kind of crystal and jade products should also be sold, although I don't know the specific location of similar stores, but you can also go and explore, well, the most likely place should be these three." Zhang Su continued to explain.

"National Culture Street, this kind of place that sells all kinds of groceries seems to be also available in Jiancheng, I know, but I have a question, what if the crystal horcrux materials were not purchased from these stores? But the one who made it himself brought into Qi City from the outside? Then this investigation will not be in vain, and it will waste a lot of energy. Shi Xian wondered.

"I can't determine the source of the material of the crystal fishtail horcrux, the places I said are just speculations I made based on the existing clues, whether it is or not, whether it is or not, whether it can only be known after going to explore, since the Nine Palaces Yama can always remain mysterious, naturally he will not put the clues related to his existence directly on the surface, so I don't think it is a waste of energy to do some possible investigations." Zhang Su shook his head and responded.

"What you said is not unreasonable, the Nine Palaces Yama has been mysteriously existing for so many years, if you can simply find out their clues, then the Mountain and Sea House will not need to send me here to investigate personally, I will visit these places you said, in addition, if you have any other clues, you must also report to me in time, don't you still have my talisman jade plate there?" If there is a situation, you can directly transmit to me through that jade plate, and I will be online at any time after that. Shi Xian pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Well, I know, I won't eat this meal next, I'm going to go to the headquarters of the Soul Hunting Company the day after tomorrow, there are some things I have to deal with quickly, I'll go first, and I hope that the old man Shi will help inform Sister He Lu, and say that I have left in advance." After Shi Xian spoke, Zhang Su also nodded, as if suddenly

Ran thought of something, then stood up, waved his hand to Shi Xian, walked quickly to the entrance, put on his shoes and prepared to leave.

"You and I, an old man, say that I ...... too" Shi Xian frowned when he heard Zhang Su say that he would let him pass the word.

"The food is hot, you can restart the meal, Zhang Su, if you don't want to eat, I won't force you to stay, didn't you come by taxi with Grandpa Shi before? Then I'll drive you back. Hearing that Zhang Su was leaving, He Lu and Pu Zitong walked out with a few plates of hot food, and after putting the food on the table again, they untied the flower cloth apron tied to their bodies, and said to Zhang Su, obviously hearing Zhang Su's words that he was leaving.

"This is not good, Sister He Lu hasn't eaten yet, the food will be cold again after you send me here, so I'll take the car back by myself." Zhang Su responded with a wry smile.

"It's okay, no matter how you say that you are Zitong's little boyfriend, Zitong will blame me if you let you go back alone, so I'll send you." After Zhang Su responded, He Lu decisively refused, changed his clothes and put on his shoes and walked out of the door, signaling Zhang Su to follow with his eyes.

When Zhang Su saw He Lu's eyes, he instantly understood what He Lu meant, his face became serious, and he nodded and followed.

The two walked to the open-air parking space, He Lu took the lead in getting into the car, Zhang Su followed closely behind and opened the door and sat in the back seat, in the car, He Lu did not immediately ignite the car to start the car, but looked at Zhang Su through the rearview mirror in the car.

"Sister He Lu, you are so scary like this, just say anything directly." Zhang Su probably guessed what He Lu was about to say, and said with a bitter face.

"Zhang Su, do you remember what I told you before? If you meet not the old man Shi Xian but someone else this time, then Zitong will be miserable now, leaking the family's secret skills is a big crime, Zitong kindly sent your ghost to help you save your life, but you released it at will, do you know that you almost killed Zitong by doing this, do you know the guilt?! After Zhang Su spoke, He Lu's body actually exuded the soul power of the primary soul ancestor level, and he asked sharply at Zhang Su.
