Under the leadership of Officer Zhao, after about ten minutes, we came to a gravel road about four meters wide, with weeds and trees on both sides. The road is sparsely populated by pedestrians, and occasionally a vehicle passes by. This road is the main road in Hepu city to the surrounding villages, and there are several families on both sides of the road at short intervals.

"That's where the dried corpse was found." Officer Zhao said, pointing to the side of the road, outside the overgrown drainage canal.

Where I saw my finger, there was a piece of overwhelmed weed. I looked at the distance from the side of the road, and it was about one and a half meters. If you only keep your head down and walk, it will be difficult to attract attention unless you are wearing bright clothes.

The corpse was lying reclining, with its feet on the side of the road, one meter six away, lying on its back and falling to the ground, wearing a set of military green liberation uniforms. There were no footprints from the roadside to the dry corpse, and the murderer should have thrown the corpse into the grass on the side of the road. Officer Zhao saw me observing the scene and said from the sidelines.

"How did you find the body?" I asked.

"The scavenging grandmother who was passing by found it at 10 o'clock in the morning, and the police arrived at 10:46."

After listening to Officer Zhao's introduction, I thought to myself. The perpetrator should have met with someone from the opposite side of the road, and the victim was caught by the murderer and absorbed his vitality under his untouch, and finally hit the dried corpse with a strong palm and fell into the weeds.

But all this was too unrealistic, so I didn't tell Officer Zhao. However, judging from this technique, the other party is definitely not an ordinary yin slave, but should be a person with cultivation. And the other party didn't care about being found by the police at all, otherwise, with the methods of cultivators, there are many ways to deal with the body, and it can be done without a trace.

Is this the arrogance of the other party? In fact, it is not true, people with a little ability don't care much about other people's opinions, and they all go their own way. It can only be said that this is the nature of the other party, so why did he absorb vitality on the side of the road for no reason, instead of the same as before?

There must be something hidden in this, but there are not enough clues now, and the other party's purpose cannot be deduced. Then I took up my mind and looked around. After a few minutes, I said, "Let's go back, there's really no clue here." ”

When the two of them returned to the hotel, I pulled a hair out of my trouser pocket. This was quietly pulled out when he was looking at the dried corpse, to try to track down the victim's soul to see where it went.

So he looked at the hair on the table, and recited in his mouth: "Sanqing Wuji, Ziwei Immortal Law, essence and blood are the guide, the soul is traced, and Sanqing Avenue is as urgent as a law." Fingering the hair, I saw it move slightly to the southeast.

"It's very likely that this is the direction of his house." Bai Xuemei said on the side.

"Yes, but for now, we can only track it down."

Now that I have a bearing, I put away my hair and plan to locate the general range first. "How big of a circle are you going to make?" Bai Xuemei watched me put away my things, knew that I was going to take action, and then asked.

"Within the North Sea, give up if you exceed." I said, and then asked, "Do you want to go along?" ”

"Of course."

The two got out of the hotel and drove out of Hepu City. Within forty kilometers to the southeast, it belongs to the North Sea. Further on, there is the sea, and on the other side of the sea is Leizhou City in eastern Guangdong Province.

When I was about to leave the city, I had lunch at a roadside restaurant. I ordered a 'pig's knuckle powder' that made me hungry when I heard the name, while Bai Xuemei ordered shredded chicken powder. As for why you don't eat, of course, it's in a hurry.

After lunch, we went on our way. He is positioned every five kilometers or so. Just at the time of the second positioning, there was a change. I have already driven it, and at this time the positioning has become the northeast.

When he noticed the situation, he immediately turned around and cast a spell every other kilometer, and finally found a place after two o'clock in the afternoon.

I saw three tiled houses standing among the 100 trees. The tile house is built with red brick walls and covered with green tiles, and it seems to be some years old depending on the degree of newness. The two of us walked around and made sure that the victim's ghost was indeed there. Could it be that at this time the victim's home? Or is there someone who imprisons the Ghost here?

The whole grove is about a dozen acres, and on the east side of the woods, we also found that there is a big road under construction not far away, looking at the amount of work, it seems to be a highway.

I closed my eyes and listened, but I couldn't sense any movement in the three rooms, and it didn't seem like there were even animals. However, the surrounding traces of activity indicate that someone has been active here recently.

After waiting for more than an hour, I still didn't see anything. I turned my head and said, "I'll go in and see what's going on." ”

"Let's go in together, it's just that the Yin God is trapped and let's find out the situation." Bai Xuemei looked at me and said.

"Then let's go."

As he spoke, he stood up and strode through the woods towards the three tiled houses. Except that no one was sensed, everything went very smoothly. Standing in the drying field in the middle of the three tiled houses, I looked carefully at the three tiled houses.

The doors of the three tiled houses are all facing the drying field, which is paved with sand, as if it has not been dried for a long time, except for the interchange path of the three tiled houses, the rest have grown weeds. I saw that they all had their doors closed, and there were no padlocks on them.

"Anyone?" I tried to shout, and just after shouting, I thought to myself, how can there be anyone, I didn't feel anything. Thinking about it, he planned to take out the victim's hair and locate the position of the yin god again.

"Wind forest, there are people here." At this time, Bai Xuemei beside her whispered.

"Huh?" I looked at her suspiciously.

"I sensed something strange about the earth's qi, as if there was a formation running."

"Can you detect what it is?" I was startled and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, but this formation worked after we came in, so..."

"This girl is a good method, she can actually sense the fluctuations of the earth's qi and detect the operation of the formation." An old man's voice came from the tiled house in the center.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I should have asked you that." The man said.

"We were tourists, and we saw a few houses in this grove, so we came in and had a look." I lied and connected the before and after. At present, there are two possibilities, the first is that this old man is a master who ingested the victim's yin god for some reason, and we have tracked it here. Then all this is just a misunderstanding, as long as the reason is clarified, it will be fine.

The second is that this old man is waiting for us here. From the corpse to the soul capture, it was all to lure us to investigate, and then fall into this pre-arranged array. He naturally did this to achieve some kind of goal of his own.

If it's the first one, then it doesn't matter much whether it's frank or not, after all, the two sides don't know each other, and the other party just wants an explanation about our unprovoked trespass. But if the other party really has bad intentions, then whether it is the truth or not, he will not let us go easily, then telling the truth will reveal his own information.

"Hahahaha, is that really the case?" The old man asked again.

"Of course, the two of us just saw the shade of this mountain forest, so we came in to enjoy it and strayed into the senior formation." I explained tactfully that Beihai is a big tourist city, and almost all outsiders come to visit.

"I didn't expect you to be so eloquent, and you were just enjoying the scenery when you peeked at the edge of the forest before." The old man said leisurely.

I secretly said in my heart that he could sense the surrounding situation from a hundred meters away. And listening to his tone, he didn't seem to be satisfied with my words, so the second possibility is extremely probable.

"Since you understand that this is a misunderstanding, why don't you withdraw the formation and let us sit down and talk."

"How about you answer me one more question?"

"What's the problem?"

"What kind of sect and sect are you?"

Hearing him ask this question, I already had a plan in my heart, and he must be the one who committed the murder. But because he is not familiar with the existing Jianghu sects, he doesn't know how to answer for a while, if he makes up a fake name, it makes no sense to be recognized by the other party, it is better to have a showdown.

Just as I was about to speak, Bai Xuemei took the lead in saying, "We are from Qingxi Valley. ”

"Cheonggyegu? Who are you, the head of Bai Jingting? He said, I didn't expect this old man to really know, this Bai Jingting and Bai Xuemei have the same surname, and they must be related, but it is absolutely not appropriate to say more now.

"Since the seniors already know where we come from, why don't you withdraw the formation, how about we sit down and talk about it?" I hurriedly said, first, to remind Bai Xuemei, and secondly, to test him for the last time through words.

Bai Xuemei frowned slightly, as if she had figured out something. I heard the old man say, "Oh! You young people are really impatient, what can you do in this courtyard? By the way, I heard that Bai Jingting has a woman... ”

"Senior, I don't think you want to let us go! Since this is the case, then don't blame the juniors for being rude. I interrupted him and said that the old man was still trying to talk about it, and really thought that we were not familiar with the world.

With the words, with a wave of his right hand, a cone was condensed in the air, hitting the void on one side. I saw that the projection cone was three meters away, blocked by an invisible cover, and then dissipated.

"Bold, rude to break into the old man's residence, and even dare to take the lead in attacking, it seems that if I don't give you some color to see, wouldn't you be called a senior." As the old man spoke, he saw a black mist drifting out of the surroundings, and the sky gradually darkened.

Bai Xuemei and I were still standing in the drying field, each thinking of countermeasures. However, this old guy's hypocrisy makes me feel sick to my stomach, and the words have already been said to this point, and he is still acting like his predecessors.

"I said old man, call you senior, that's to give you face, don't give a ladder and go up the wall, okay?" I mocked him.

"You stinky boy, just take advantage of your tongue."

"I'm afraid my predecessors are dizzy, I'm twenty years old this year, why is it that the smell of milk in your eyes has not dried? Could it be that the seniors also have a problem with their noses? ”

At this time, another familiar voice whispered: "Master, this person will devour Yuan Dafa, plus this girl in white, I'm afraid that this Yin Gathering Killing Array won't be able to trap them." ”

"You said this, but no matter how powerful the Yuan Devouring Dafa is, it's not an attack spell, can he absorb it through the air? Besides, this formation is not so easy to break, and the teacher doesn't believe that they can have a deep formation attainment when they are so young. Take a step back and say, aren't there any teachers left? ”

I heard all these whispers in my ears. And that familiar voice turned out to be Chu Laihu, who escaped more than half a month ago. It seems that this time I also invited my master, probably to avenge the abolition of cultivation.

When I was still thinking about countermeasures, Bai Xuemei's figure beside me moved, and she spun gracefully in place, only to see the white mist scattered in her hands, forming a white cover in the sky to block the black mist. I only thought about the problem, but I forgot about her.

With a wry smile, he took out his phone and called her. The two of them are so close, why do they have to call? There are two reasons for this, one is to make the people in the house mistakenly think that we still have companions, and arouse their suspicion.

Second, if you talk normally, you may be able to hear the other party. And it's not easy for me to come to her ear to talk in detail, so using a mobile phone is the best way to communicate.

Bai Xuemei finished making a defensive cover, took out her mobile phone and glanced at it, and understood what I meant. So the two covered their mouths with their hands and whispered, but in fact, the two were only about a meter apart.

After the two finished communicating, they hung up the phone. And the master and apprentice in the house were really fooled, only to hear Chu Laihu say: "Oops! Forget that they have their phones on them, what if they call more people? ”

"Humph! Then we don't have to worry about it, we have to solve it quickly. The old man snorted and said quietly.

I secretly thought it was funny in my heart, I am afraid that they didn't care about the power of technology.

"Two juniors, since you are so obsessed, then..." The old man still wants to play tricks, but he still can't get rid of that problem.

"Old man, stop talking nonsense. I advise you to hurry up, we haven't seen each other anyway, and it's best to leave now, otherwise everyone will come in a while, and then we won't be able to leave. As I spoke, a white mist emanated from my body, and at the same time I glanced at Bai Xuemei, both of them nodded slightly, understanding what the other party meant, and the next thing was to break the formation.

"Master, what should I do? What to do? Let's run away. Chu Laihu said in a big way.

"Shut up, now that they're still trapped in the formation, are you thinking about running away in a hurry? It seems that you have not only lost your cultivation, but also lost your courage. The old man scolded Chu Laihu.

"Don't blame your apprentice, old man, he is telling the truth. We have no grievances in the near future, no hatred in the past, why bother! Right. I said again, pulling out the Firmament Bow from behind my back and drawing a newly refined arrow.

"Humph! Who says there are no grudges? Isn't the cultivation of the old man's apprentice abolished by you? The old man questioned.

"Master, he's stalling for time, don't be fooled, let's go..." Chu Laihu reacted suddenly, and hurriedly spoke, but was interrupted by his master again.

"Huangkou Xiaoer, I'm angry with the old man, let's die!" The old man was woken up by his apprentice and said angrily. I don't know what he's doing, but I hear a 'buzzing' sound from the black fog in isolation, which seems to be condensing into something.

At this time, the array was completely dark, and there was no light outside, and Bai Xuemei and herself could only perceive the surroundings with the aura released from the outside.

But in about three seconds, I was already aiming my bow somewhere, just waiting for Bai Xuemei's movements. She coughed softly, and then felt the white dome shatter. Then countless spikes shot at us from the dome above.
