Walking out of the Liu family's courtyard, we did not leave here immediately, but walked around along both sides of the Huaxi River, hoping to find a little clue.

However, to our disappointment, everything is normal and we still have nothing to gain. At this time, the sky finally brightened, and after tossing for most of the night, Xu Jingyang and I were a little tired, so we found a noodle restaurant nearby, ready to eat something first.

I never thought that as soon as the two of us sat down, the mobile phone in my pocket rang loudly, and I took it out and saw that it was actually Brother Zhang calling?

Calculate the time, since I was discharged from the hospital, I haven't seen Brother Zhang and Director Han for a long time. Despite being a little depressed, I quickly answered the phone.

As soon as I was connected, before I could speak, Brother Zhang's anxious voice immediately came from the other side of the phone: "Hey! Wang Lin, where are you now? ”

"Huh?"

Listening to his tone, it was obvious that he was in trouble and needed help from me, and he seemed to be in a hurry, so he hurriedly said, "I'm in Huaxi, what's wrong?" ”

"Something is wrong! Lao Wu's son is missing! ”

Old Wu?

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "That old Wu?" ”

"Alas! It's the old Wu in my hometown, the one we went to his house to eat before! ”

Hearing him say this, I just remembered, it turned out to be the owner of this lightning strike wood before? I did hear before that he had a twelve-year-old son who was in junior high school in Qianyang City, and his name seemed to be Wu Junxuan...... Is his son missing?

"Huh?"

Suddenly, it seemed to me that something had just been stolen from me, and that my peachwood sword had just been stolen. Now, even Lao Wu's son suddenly disappeared?

Could it be that there is no connection here? After all, the ten-turn lightning strike wood was originally bought from Lao Wu!

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly moved, and I hurriedly asked Brother Zhang, "Where are you now?" ”

"I'm at Lao Wu's sister's house, the address is No. 39, Baiyun Middle Road, Baiyun District, you come over quickly, I'll be waiting for you at the intersection below!"

"Okay! Then I'll come right over! ”

Just waited for Brother Zhang to finish the address, I quickly hung up the phone, and then asked Xu Jingyang, "Are you free?" If it's okay, accompany me to Baiyun District! ”

"Huh?"

As soon as he heard this, Xu Jingyang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and without saying a word, he ran directly towards the car with me, and then asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Let's talk as we go, maybe it will have something to do with the theft of the peachwood sword!"

Without explaining too much, I just opened the door and started the car.

"Oh?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Jingyang couldn't help but look happy, and he didn't care about driving his own car anymore, so he got into the co-pilot directly.

……

After about half an hour, we finally arrived at Baiyun Middle Road. As soon as we turned the corner, we saw Brother Zhang, Director Han and others who were waiting anxiously next to the police car.

At the same time, Brother Zhang and the others also seemed to have discovered us, and they hurriedly greeted us. And when they found Xu Jingyang, who arrived with me, they were even more overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them: "Captain Xu, you are here too!" ”

I didn't care about being polite to them, so I just asked, "What the hell is going on?" When did Lao Wu's son disappear? ”

Just on the phone, I only heard Brother Zhang say that Lao Wu's son was missing, but nothing else was revealed to me at all.

Before Brother Zhang could speak, a middle-aged man in ragged clothes had already pounced directly, knelt in front of me with a "plop", and cried directly: "Benefactor, please save my son!" ”

This person is none other than Lao Wu we met in Dafang County before! It's really hard for him, he got a son when he was old, and it was not easy to raise his son to such a big age, originally I wanted him to receive a better education in Qianyang, but I didn't think about it......

"Alas......"

Sighing secretly, I couldn't help but quickly help Lao Wu up and said, "Don't worry! I'll do my best, don't be too anxious, tell me the details of what happened first. ”

"I'll tell you!"

As soon as the words fell, Brother Zhang had already come straight to me and Xu Jingyang, and then told us the details of Wu Junxuan's disappearance.

According to him, as early as last night, Wu Junxuan had disappeared. Lao Wu's sister also chose to call the police at the first time, and also called Lao Wu from her hometown.

The Baiyun Branch has also begun to file a case for investigation, but the time is still short, and as of now, they have not had the slightest clue. It wasn't until Lao Wu came from Dafang County overnight that he remembered Brother Zhang, who was also on an errand in Qianyang, and then Brother Zhang called me again......

According to the old sister Wu, as early as a week ago, Wu Junxuan's behavior became very weird, he usually goes home early after school, but recently he often delays until dark to go home. And his mood has become very irritable, and if he says a few words about him, he will be furious.

Lao Wu's sister is just an ordinary worker, and she is usually busy with work, so she didn't take it to heart at first, she just thought that the pressure on the child at school was too great, so she was like this.

Until last night, she waited until more than nine o'clock in the evening, but never saw Wu Junxuan come back, she and her husband were a little panicked, hurriedly went out to inquire around, searched for no result, and finally chose to call the police.

"Huh?"

After listening to Sister Wu's words, Xu Jingyang and I also felt that this thing was quite strange. It stands to reason that Wu Junxuan is already twelve years old, and generally speaking, even human traffickers rarely abduct and sell such a big child. Moreover, he is already in junior high school, even if he wants to abduct and sell, it should not be so easy to succeed, right, how could he suddenly disappear?

So he hurriedly asked Brother Zhang, "Then have you found anything now?" ”

"Not yet!"

Brother Zhang shook his head helplessly: "We have just arrived, and I have already asked my colleagues in the Baiyun Branch just now, but there is no clue at all!" But ......"

Speaking of this, Brother Zhang suddenly gave me a look, as if he had something to say to me alone.

"Huh?"

Seeing Brother Zhang's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, my heart suddenly moved, and I hurriedly pulled him aside, and then asked, "But what?" ”

"Before you came, Director Han and I went to search on the way to Wu Junxuan's school, and found that there was a violent fight in a small alley on the side of the road, and the destructive power was amazing, and it was impossible for ordinary people to do it, I doubt ......"

"Oh?"

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart, and hurriedly interrupted him and asked, "Where is it?" ”

"It's not far ahead! I'll take you there now? ”

"Let's go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, I quickly called Xu Jingyang and followed Brother Zhang towards the alley he said. Although he hadn't finished his words, I already understood what he meant, and he should have said that he suspected that the traces of the fight were probably left by the cultivators!

Perhaps, this is also the reason why he asked me for help, although it is not certain whether the traces of the fight will be related to Wu Junxuan's disappearance, but it is also the only clue at present.

In less than five minutes, we arrived at the alley that Brother Zhang said, and just walked to the alley, Xu Jingyang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he subconsciously said: "What a strong spirit of plants and trees!" ”

"Huh?"

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but quickly open the Qi field, and I also sensed a trace of energy fluctuations. It's just that, unlike other energies encountered before, this energy in front of me makes people feel very comfortable, and it can be said to be refreshing, is this the legendary essence of plants and trees?

The ancients have always believed in the saying that "all things have spirits", and this essence of plants and trees is the breath formed by some plants after they have attained the essence of the Dao......

When we came to the alley, we found traces of a fierce fight, and Brother Zhang guessed correctly, this was indeed left by a cultivator! The alleys are lined with walls made of hard granite, and at this moment, the hard granite has left dense knife marks!

I was carefully observing the knife marks on the rock, but Xu Jingyang squatted down and looked at the pale green marks on the ground. He dipped a little bit of his finger into his mouth again, and then said with a solemn face: "Sure enough, it is the spirit of plants and trees, and the traces of the battle here should be left by a spirit of plants and trees and a human being!" If I'm right, most of the grass spirits have already been caught! ”

"What the hell are you talking about?"

After listening to Xu Jingyang's words, Brother Zhang couldn't help but be a little anxious, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of grass and tree essence?" Could it be related to Wu Junxuan? ”

"Huh?"

As soon as he heard this, Xu Jingyang couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, and subconsciously looked at me and asked, "You say, could this Wu Junxuan be the essence of this grass and trees?" ”

"Huh?"

As soon as these words came out, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded on the spot and said, "Won't it? Isn't he Lao Wu's son? How could it be ......?"

Well?

I was only halfway through my words, but a very bold conjecture suddenly surged into my mind!

As early as when Master Liu first saw the lightning strike wood, he once said that the so-called "ten turns of lightning strike wood" was the product of the peach wood vainly trying to directly cross the catastrophe to become an immortal and fail. At that time, all of us thought that since the peach wood had failed to cross the tribulation, it must have been completely annihilated by the thunder tribulation.

But what if that peach wood didn't die because of some chance after the failure of the catastrophe?

Could it be that Wu Junxuan is actually the incarnation of the peach wood formed after the failure of the catastrophe? Then by mistake, he was reincarnated into Lao Wu's house?

Moreover, Lao Wu also said that the lightning strike was inadvertently picked up by Wu Junxuan from the mountain!

No way!

The idea came to me, and even I couldn't help but be taken aback! But, as appalling as my idea is, it's not entirely impossible when all the coincidences pile up!

The wonder of the Creator is beyond the reach of us mortals! Things that we often think are impossible actually happen every day, just depends on whether we encounter them or not!

might as well follow this hypothesis and go a little further, assuming that Wu Junxuan is the essence of the peach wood after the failure of the catastrophe. So when he learned that his body, that is, the "Ten Turns Lightning Strike Wood", was bought by me from Lao Wu, he would definitely try to get it back. Then it seemed logical for him to steal the peachwood sword from Master Liu, that thing was originally his body, and he naturally had a unique way to find it.

And as the body of the "Ten Turns Lightning Strike Wood", although the tribulation failed, its Dao practice may not be too low, and it is not excluded that it does have the ability to steal the peachwood sword without knowing it!

And after he stole the peachwood sword, maybe it was discovered by a certain human cultivator who had advanced cultivation, and then a violent conflict broke out between the two sides, and after a fight, Wu Junxuan was captured!

In this way, this just explains why Wu Junxuan suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, it also explains why there is such a strong essence of plants and trees here!
