Half a year ago.

Seriously wounded, Gu Ao fled to Huailing County, and in order to escape the pursuit of the enemy, he climbed into the courtyard wall of a family.

However, behind the courtyard wall is not actually an ordinary house, but the backyard of a green building.

It is Yihongyuan.

Gu Ao relied on his shrewd mind to pinch Wan Ju's eagerness to make money to overpower the Jade Building, and relied on his incorruptible tongue and not low feng shui attainments, so that Wan Ju was willing to arrange a courtyard for herself, and transformed the wooden building into what she wanted.

Later, in the name of seizing the fortune of the Jade Building, the witch Gu formation was laid out, and Wan Ju had already been convinced of his ability, and when he saw him, he bowed his head and respectfully called "Mr. Meng".

The cultivation of all means in the past six months has indeed made him recover some of his injuries, but after all, the natal Gu was destroyed, and he still didn't dare to act rashly until the new natal Gu grew up.

Until Xu Hao died unexpectedly, Yu Xia and others came to the door.

After reading Gu Ao's memory, several people were a little worried.

Gu Ao and Xu Hao's death really have nothing to do with it.

Although I had expected it in my heart, after reading these memories and finding that it was not helpful to Xu Hao's case, everyone's faces were not very good-looking.

Chen Wei leaned his back back on the back of the chair and rubbed his tightly furrowed brows with his fingers.

"Alas, this afternoon, in vain."

Jiang Lingfan glanced at the sky outside and pouted.

This afternoon was thrilling, after seeing so many disgusting bugs, the eldest brother and Yu Xia were also a little injured, and finally killed the wicked, and there were many tasks to track down the theft of the book of heaven, but as a result, the case of Xu Hao, who was most anxious to investigate, made no progress.

"Hall Master Chen, do you know why Gu Ao always wants revenge? Didn't his family go into exile with him? ”

Yu Xia suddenly asked.

When she asked, the two Jiang brothers also remembered, yes, Gu Ao has always said that he wants revenge, and his memory has also started in the past six months, but why did he want to take revenge, he didn't explain it clearly from beginning to end.

"Their Gu family died in the second year of exile, and he was probably the only one who slipped through the net."

Chen Wei's words silenced the other three, and a hundred members of the family all died in the second year of exile, saying that it was a coincidence, and no one would believe it.

No wonder Gu Ao decided that someone had harmed the Gu family, and he wanted revenge.

"Then since he has escaped and still has time to learn the art of witchcraft, who is chasing him?"

Yu Xia's question made Chen Dao also silent.

Fifteen years ago, the Gu family was convicted and exiled, and the next year, the whole clan died inexplicably, and Gu Ao escaped alone.

But there was no news of anyone fleeing from the exiled land, and all that Jingzhong received was the news that all the Gu family members had died violently.

Therefore, since everyone thinks that Gu Ao is dead, it is impossible for anyone to hunt him down.

So he fled for half a year, who was he hiding?

Why did these people go after him? Was it these people who destroyed his Natal Gu for the first time?

Now that the Natal Gu has been destroyed, how can these people know that Gu Ao is not actually dead? And the means to continue life? And chose to continue the hunt?

Did these people know that he had come to Huailing?

These people ...... Did you come to Huailing too?

Gu Ao's memories of the past six months began after hiding in Yihong Courtyard, and from that day on, those who chased him did not appear in his memory.

Everyone only knows who he has been hiding, and they don't know the cause and effect.

In the past six months, Gu Ao has been staying in that dark wooden building, and has not taken a step.

Except for the maid who delivered food every day, and Wan Ju, who came to ask him every once in a while to ask him for advice on how to gather wealth, no third person appeared in his memory.

"This ancient mystery is really cunning and cunning, and he is going to die and leave us with so many messes."

Jiang Lingfan said hatefully, Gu Ao's words were not true, and he couldn't easily believe it, and several people were willing to exchange a promise for Gu Ao's half-year memory because they thought that memory would not lie.

Who would have thought that there was nothing in the memory of the past half a year, and when I looked at them one by one, I found nothing.

"Hall Master Chen, can you tell me what would have happened to that illusion before, if I hadn't woken up?"

Everyone was stunned, Jiang Lingfan didn't understand what Yu Xia's purpose was when he suddenly mentioned the illusion, and Jiang Jiu was not at the scene and didn't know about the illusion.

And Chen Dao seemed to have thought of something.

"If you don't wake up, your soul will be left in the illusion forever, and it will disappear with the illusion."

As soon as Chen Dao's words fell, everyone's faces were suddenly pale.

Didn't Xu Hao just die because his soul was extracted?

Mo Daochang and the others tried their secret techniques, but they didn't find a trace of Xu Hao's remnant soul.

In the entire Dengyun Tower, the Xuan masters who came to the meeting were all cultivators from one to four grades, and it was very difficult to extract and destroy Xu Hao's soul without knowing it.

Xu Hao did not have a trace of wounds on his body, and there was no trace of struggle at the scene of the crime, so Chen Wei and the others could not determine how Xu Hao's soul was extracted and destroyed.

What if, Xu Hao also died under such means?

This explanation also seems to make sense.

"Gu Ao has been hiding in the shadows in fear for half a year, which means that the people who are chasing him are very strong, so he has to be cautious. Even if his injuries were relieved, he did not relax at all, hiding in the tightly covered wooden building, afraid that his breath would leak half a minute. ”

"Since Gu Ao has met Gu masters in Southern Xinjiang and fled to the Jiangnan region himself, can it be assumed that there are other Gu masters who have arrived in Jiangnan and happen to use Gu magic to pull people into the illusion world?"

Yu Xia's words made the other three people in the room frown and ponder.

What she said is not necessarily impossible.

Exiled to the wilderness, Gu Ao was able to come all the way here.

That means that the checkpoint that once strictly restricted Gu masters from entering the Central Plains has been loosened.

Since there was such a seriously injured Gu Master who could lurk in, what about the other Gu Masters who were not injured?

It's a pity that the memory given by Gu Ao is too short to find out how he evaded the guards and defenders, so he got here.

Thinking of this, Chen Dao immediately picked up a pen and paper, wrote a note, put it in a thin bamboo tube, and then pushed the door out, blew his finger whistle, and the snow eagle fell from the sky and stopped on the back of his hand.

Chen Wei tied the thin bamboo tube to the claws of the snow eagle, and with a wave of his hand, the snow eagle flew into the sky again and disappeared.

"I'll let people find out about the loosening of the checkpoints."

Chen Dao turned around and entered the house, glanced at Yu Xia Dao:

"As for how Xu Hao died, what you just said gave me an idea to verify, let's go back to Dengyun Tower first."
