Volume 4: Soaring Chapter 849: Strange Calls
The failure of the tracing paper crane made Lu Yao realize the seriousness of the situation, and it was not so simple to see that things were not so simple, from the beginning when he came into contact with Ge Ye's death, all the people he encountered were ordinary people, which made him naturally think that this was a battle in the world, but the failure of the tracing paper crane made him realize that he was facing not only ordinary people, but also people in the world of cultivating immortals.
Could this have something to do with the Sky Tower?
This was the first thought that came to Lu Yao's mind, and besides that, he couldn't seem to think of any other organization with such great energy that could extend its claws into the worldly officialdom, and this seemed to be in line with the style of the Heavenly Tower.
It's just that there has always been a problem that plagues Lu Yao, the festival between him and the Heavenly Tower has been a long time, and he has also killed dozens of members of the Heavenly Tower, but from the beginning to the present, it seems that except for Xing Buwen and Yue Buwu, the Heavenly Tower has not sent any decent masters to target him, but it has always been some small fights, like children playing at home, which is very unreasonable.
Thinking about it from another perspective, if Lu Yao was the leader of the Heavenly Tower, he himself felt that he would not let a person who had such a deep relationship with him grow up, from an ant to a mammoth elephant. But things are contrary to what I think, what is going on?
I couldn't figure it out, there was no answer, and thinking about it again would only add to my troubles, Lu Yao had to shake his head helplessly, and began to plan how he should find Bao Hongying.
After thinking about it, Lu Yao felt that he should go back to Yunzhong Pavilion and find his master to leave Xinjiang to ask for advice, and see if there was any better way.
Lu Yao and Jin Yulong said hello and left the hotel, and drove back to Yunzhong Pavilion alone, since Huizhou City came back, Lijiang and others have been in Yunzhong Pavilion, it can almost be said that they stay at home, they have always been immersed in cultivation, Lei Zhanyuan is like this, Tong Tiexin is like this, that little Taoist priest is like this, and even Lijiang is the same.
Lu Yao is the only one who has to run around for things in the world. However, this seemed to have delayed Lu Yao for a lot of time, but I didn't know what was going on, Lu Yao's cultivation had improved very quickly during this time, and it was not slower than cultivating behind closed doors in the Cloud Pavilion.
Lu Yao found Lijiang and told Lijiang about the failure of the technique of searching for the paper crane talisman, which made Lijiang somewhat surprised, although the man-finding paper crane is not a clever talisman technique, but this has never happened.
"Why don't I try again?" Lu Yao wanted to try again in front of Lijiang and asked.
Lijiang nodded and answered.
Although Lu Yao did not use the talisman technique of searching for the paper crane many times, he also memorized it by heart, took out a piece of yellow rune paper and quickly folded out a delicate paper crane, and then processed the things he got Bao Hongying used in a special way, put them into the crease in the northern part of the paper crane, and with a slight wave of his right hand, the paper crane flew up slowly as if it had come to life.
However, this time, unlike the first time when the man-seeking paper crane was used to track the venomous snake, the paper crane did not fly away in one direction after flying, but spun in place like a masked fly, and so suddenly fell from the air to the ground after about 30 seconds, losing its vitality.
"It seems that the other party used some means on Bao Hongying, and this situation will only occur when the paper crane is looking for people." Seeing all this in his eyes, Lijiang said with great certainty: "The other party must also be an immortal cultivator, and his strength should be about the same as yours, and it may even be slightly higher than you!" ”
"Me ...... too"
Lu Yao wanted to say that he thought the same thing, but as soon as he was halfway through the sentence, his mobile phone suddenly rang, and the eyes of the two of them converged on the mobile phone screen that Lu Yao put aside at the same time.
Generally, there will be a display number when the phone comes in, but this time when the phone rings, there are only four words on the screen - strange call. This kind of number can be judged at a glance to be encrypted, and even those communication service providers in China cannot determine their place of ownership and number.
Lu Yao and Lijiang glanced at each other, and then Lu Yao pressed the answer button and pressed the hands-free button at the same time, so that Lijiang could clearly hear what the other party said.
"I'm glad you made a wise decision." There was a voice on the other side of the phone, which was obviously technologically processed, and there was a trace of disdain and arrogance in the voice, saying: "Your decision can make that woman surnamed Bao live for at least two more hours!" ”
"Who are you?" Lu Yao asked coldly.
"Haha, I really didn't expect someone like you to ask such a stupid question, haha!" The other party suddenly laughed twice and said, "Do you think I might tell you who I am?" ”
Lu Yao naturally knew that this would be the result, so he didn't care, and asked calmly: "You definitely didn't call to tease me, say, what do you want me to do?" ”
"Well, that's right, so we can have a nice chat." After hearing Lu Yao's words on the other side of the phone, he said with a smile: "I know that you are looking for the woman surnamed Bao by some kind of means of searching for people, but I advise you to save your efforts, with your Taoism, it is not enough to break the ban I set on her." ”
"Just say what you want to do, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!" Lu Yao heard the other party's instigating way of speaking, and answered coldly.
"I want you to keep the news you got from the mouth of the poisonous snake in your stomach forever, this matter has nothing to do with you, you better not interfere again, if you can do it, I can spare the life of the woman surnamed Bao, what do you think?" The other side of the phone suddenly put away the attitude that he had been smiling and grinning, and said in a deep voice.
"Do I have a choice?" Lu Yao didn't know whether he should agree for a while, so he asked rhetorically.
Lu Yao has naturally guessed some of the complicated situation behind this matter, but the cause of this incident is the death of Ge Shengnan's father Ge Ye, Lu Yao promised Ling Yun that Ge Ye's revenge must be avenged, he will not let Ge Ye's death be unclear, if Fang Hand does not care at this time, it is obviously contrary to his original intention, but if he does not agree, whether he is sure enough to rescue Bao Hongying from the other party, he is indeed in a dilemma.
"I don't think you have a choice, it's better to agree to our request." The other side of the phone said coldly.
"How can I trust you?" Lu Yao asked.
"Just trust us as much as we believe you, and if you nod your head, I can release the woman with the surname Bao now." The voice on the other side of the phone was shocking.
“……”
Trust us as if we trust you, this sentence is very strange, which makes Lu Yao instantly perceive a different atmosphere.
Lu Yao wondered in his heart, why did they believe their words, could it be that they were very familiar with him?
Suddenly, a bad thought flashed, Lu Yao felt that he had climbed from the trap to a safe place, and then turned around and set a trap and waited for the other party to be captured in one fell swoop, but now it seems that he has never broken away from the trap set by the other party, but has been circling around the trap set by the other party step by step.
"You believe me, it makes me excited to hear you, but I think I need to think about it, what do you think?" Lu Yao pondered for a while, and did not immediately agree to the other party, but asked tentatively.
"Yes, as I said, your act of answering my call has earned the woman surnamed Bao two precious hours to live, so I'll give you two hours, and after two hours, I'll call you, hoping that you can give me a satisfactory answer then." There was no hesitation on the other side of the phone, and he said.
"Thank you!" Although Lu Yao hated Ling Ran for the other party, he still said thank you, and then he didn't want to listen to the other party, so he directly took the initiative to hang up the phone.
The content of the phone call is clear from Xinjiang, and there is no need for Lu Yao to repeat it again.
"Master, what do you think?" Lu Yao looked at Lijiang and asked.
"The number is encrypted, the voice is processed, you know everything about the means of finding people, and you don't say a word about poisonous snakes, if my inference is correct, it must have been done by an acquaintance, or someone who knows us well." Lijiang looked at Lu Yao and said word by word.
"Hmm. That's what I mean. Lu Yao nodded and agreed.
"In this way, we can narrow down the direction of our investigation a lot." Lu Yao continued: "Let me think about who around me would have such a ability. ”
“……”
At present, Lu Yao and Lijiang both think that they know what they are doing, which also provides a direction for their next actions. For a moment, the room fell into a very subtle silence.
"Dangdang!"
At this moment, a knock at the door interrupted Lu Yao's contemplation.
This is Yunzhong Pavilion, if there is no Lu Yao and Lijiang's will, no one can easily come in, not to mention that when he comes to the door of Lijiang's room, Lu Yao got up and walked slowly towards the door.
"Master Lu, I think you seem to be in some trouble, can you tell me about it?"
After Lu Yao opened the door, the person he saw turned out to be the little Taoist Wenxuan who came back with him from Tianbao Pavilion, and as soon as the door opened, the other party didn't bend around at all, and said bluntly.
This made Lu Yao a little surprised, but he also felt a little funny, this little Taoist Wenxuan had never left Yunzhong Pavilion since he came back with Lu Yao, and he had never spoken more than two sentences to Lu Yao since he lived in Yunzhong Pavilion.
