"Huh?" Zhang Qiyue and Xiao Shuo let out a classic question in unison, as if they had misheard.

"With the cultivation of the city lord of Zhao, there are still evil spirits that can't be cleaned up?" Xiao Shuo was very puzzled, and wondered: "But what is the secret?"

Master Ding's face was a little unnatural, and he said, "That's true. The ghost is Miss Zhao's fiancée, and for some reason, he appeared in Miss Zhao's boudoir a few days ago and refused to leave. When the city lord found out, he was furious and wanted to kill him, but the young lady forced her to die and did not back down, so the city lord had to stop. In the past few days, the young lady has obviously begun to be haggard, and the city lord is helpless, so at my suggestion, he decided to ask for help, so I rushed to find Zhang Gongzi. ”

Zhang Qiyue held his chin and thought for a while, walked out of the counter, and beckoned Xiao Shuo: "Let's go, go and see." ”

The situation was urgent, and everyone avoided greetings and rushed to the city lord's mansion. Along the way, Zhang Qiyue asked Master Ding some things about Miss Zhao and Li Group, and learned that the two had a very good relationship since childhood. Since Li Yiqun's illness, Miss Zhao has often visited her, and as Li's illness worsened, she rarely smiled. After Li Yiqun's death, Miss Zhao cried and fainted countless times. Other than that, there's not much useful information.

Soon the group rushed to the living room of the City Lord's Mansion and saw two groups of acquaintances. First, Agarwood is full of people, Cheng Beichuan, and Zhou Nuannuan are all listed. The second is the white tea and white tea brothers.

Seeing Zhang Qiyue, Zhou Nuannuan waved her hand generously and greeted Zhang Qiyue with a smile, Zhang Qiyue lowered her head and coughed a few times, looking slightly embarrassed. Cheng Beichuan stroked his beard and smiled, as if he was not surprised by Zhang Qiyue's arrival.

Bai Cha nodded lightly and continued to sit down and drink tea, while Bai Zhan looked at Zhang Qiyue with a somewhat gloomy gaze.

The city lord is in front, and it is inconvenient for Zhang Qiyue to talk too much about these acquaintances, whether they are pleasing to the eye or not. After Master Ding introduced Zhang Qiyue and Xiao Shuo to Zhao Mantian, the three of them found a seat and sat down.

Not long after, several more cultivators followed the arrival of the officials of the City Lord's Mansion and sat down in turn.

Zhang Qiyue slowly looked at the people in the field, and asked Xiao Shuo on the side in a low voice, "How many of these newcomers do you know?"

Xiao Shuo turned his head sideways and replied: "The middle-aged Taoist priest in a yellow robe sitting at the door is Chen Huajin, who is in the line of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, good at exorcism and demon hunting, and has a bit of a reputation in the yin and yang world. The one sitting opposite him was sloppily dressed and seemed to be called Hanako, called Du Shangxing, who was a fifth-level spirit master and a famous exorcist. The others are small characters and don't care. ”

Zhang Qiyue seemed to point out: "Do you say there are any eyes of the Xuanwu Sect here?"

Xiao Shuo's heart moved, and he said knowingly: "There must be that, it's strange if there isn't." ”

Zhang Qiyue lowered his head and said softly: "I will use dim sum for a while, observe carefully, and write down any suspicious ones." ”

Xiao Shuo nodded and said, "Understood."

Zhang Qiyue continued to make eye patrols, and finally his eyes stopped on the armored man with a bandage on Zhao Mantian's side of his arm, and asked Xiao Shuo sideways: "That's Ling Hefan?"

Xiao Shuo looked over and confirmed: "Yes, I didn't expect him to be so seriously injured and come to participate in the proceedings, it seems that he is really loyal to the City Lord of Zhao as the outside world said." ”

Zhang Qiyue didn't say anything, staring at Ling Hefan, thoughtful.

After a few more moments, no one came. Zhao Mantian stood up from the main seat and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for coming, I think everyone understands the situation, I don't know if there are any suggestions." ”

The crowd whispered, but no one answered. Chen Huajin, who was wearing a Taoist robe, stood up and saluted, "City Lord Zhao, can I go to the young lady's boudoir to visit?"

Seeing that everyone had no other proposals, Zhao Mantian said: "Naturally, but you can only watch from the outside, the little girl is very sensitive now, please forgive me." Please come with me, everybody. ”

Everyone followed Zhao Mantian into the inner mansion, passed through several corridors, and stopped at a pavilion. Zhao Mantian pointed towards a room and said, "That's the little girl's room, I have removed the protection of the magic circle, please visit yourself." ”

Hearing this, everyone released their divine senses and probed the room. I saw that Miss Zhao was sitting in front of the dresser, her figure was a little thin, but her eyes were full of happiness. There is a handsome man combing his hair behind him, it is his fiancé Li Qun. Li Yiyi smiled at the corners of his mouth, and was looking at Miss Zhao in the mirror intently, his eyes full of love. It's just that in the love and pity, there is a trace of pain hidden in the depths of it very imperceptibly.

"What have you discovered?" Zhao Mantian asked solemnly.

Du Shangxing, who was dressed in sloppy clothes, said in a hoarse voice: "It looks a bit like an earth binding spirit, but I'm not sure." ”

Chen Huajin glanced at Du Shangxing and said, "I also have this feeling, this soul body is faintly trapped, but this place is not the place where Li Gongzi died, and he has not found the spirit binding formation, which is really strange." ”

The others looked thoughtful and were silent for a moment.

Zhang Qiyue observed for a long time, and whispered to Xiao Shuo: "Do you know the soul lock?"

Xiao Shuo looked at Zhang Qiyue and said, "You think so too?"

Zhang Qiyue was a little surprised and said, "You actually know?"

Xiao Shuo rolled his eyes and said, "I've been undercover in the Xuanwu Sect for so long, do you think I did it for nothing?"

"What is a soul lock?" a crisp voice came out.

"The soul lock is ......" Zhang Qiyue was about to explain, when he saw Zhou Nuannuan's curious face, his eyes suddenly widened: "Why should I tell you?"

Zhou Nuannuan rolled his eyes and said loudly: "City Lord Zhao, Zhang Qiyue said that he found a new clue. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were all focused on Zhang Qiyue.

A hint of discoloration flashed in Zhao Mantian's eyes, and he asked, "I don't know what Gongzi Zhang has to say?"

Zhang Qiyue was a little helpless, and glared at Zhou Nuannuan fiercely. Zhou Nuannuan raised her chin and snorted, showing no weakness.

"It's a discovery. Zhang Qiyue sighed for a few breaths, glanced at Xiao Shuo, and motioned for him to observe the reactions of the people in the field. Xiao Shuo nodded quietly.

Zhang Qiyue said slowly: "I suspect that Miss Zhao used the soul attraction lock to lock Li Gongzi's soul in the boudoir. ”

Everyone looked dazed, and Cheng Beichuan asked, "July, what is the soul lock?"

Zhang Qiyue swept everyone's faces, and didn't find anyone surprised, so he looked at Xiao Shuo, and Xiao Shuo also shook his head solemnly. I couldn't help but hesitate a little in my heart, was the spy acting too good? Or did the Xuanwu Sect not come?

I didn't think much about it for a while, so Zhang Qiyue put down his thoughts and explained: "The soul attraction lock is a secret treasure produced by the Xuan Ming Sect a hundred years ago, and a secret method called the soul attraction array is engraved on the spirit lock, which can summon the soul lock. However, there must be a personal item of the newly deceased as a formation, and after activation, it needs to consume a lot of spiritual power to maintain. If the spiritual power is insufficient, the user's soul power will be consumed, and if the soul attraction is not stopped, the user's soul power will gradually deplete until death. ”

Everyone talked about it for a while, and they were skeptical.

Chen Huajin was puzzled: "The poor road is shallow, I have never heard of this thing, not to mention that the Xuanming Sect has long since collapsed, it is really difficult to verify, can Zhang Daoyou be sure of it?"

Zhang Qiyue smiled lightly and said, "The city lord should have a judgment. ”

Zhao Mantian's face was extremely complicated, and he asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask Zhang Gongzi if there is a way to crack it?" Although he had never heard of the soul attraction lock, how could he not know that his beloved daughter's soul was gradually weakening.

Zhang Qiyue slowly shook his head and said: "I haven't thought of it for the time being, Ling Yan's attitude is resolute, and she refuses to take the initiative to stop, if she forcibly cracks it, it will inevitably seriously hurt her soul, and this matter needs to be considered in the long run." ”

Zhao Mantian looked at Zhang Qiyue, nodded after a while, and said, "If the others don't have suggestions, I'll go back to the living room to discuss." ”

After waiting for a few breaths, seeing that everyone had no objections, Zhao Mantian led everyone back to the living room.

Everyone discussed with each other in a low voice, each with their own opinions, but they all looked at Zhang Qiyue from time to time.

Zhang Qiyue didn't care about other people's eyes at all, sat on the chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, and then looked at the ground and pondered. Xiao Shuo didn't think about breaking the soul lock, and kept observing the expressions of other people, but he never found it.

Zhou Nuannuan walked over, leaned over and approached Zhang Qiyue and said, "Hey, what can you do?"

Zhang Qiyue glanced at Zhou Nuannuan and continued to drink tea.

Zhou Nuannuan didn't care, and said with a smile: "Tell me, don't be so stingy." ”

Zhang Qiyue felt a little headache, put down the teacup and said, "Why did you get involved with me?"

Zhou Nuannuan said naturally: "You are my guest, of course I want to look for you if you have something." ”

This logic is very powerful, Zhang Qiyue was speechless for a while, and said angrily: "Keqing is omnipotent, why do you think I have a way?"

Zhou Nuannuan blinked her eyes wide and said, "Intuition." ”

Zhang Qiyue was silent, what is this called.

"Poof" Xiao Shuo couldn't hold it back and laughed. Watching Zhang Qiyue eat deflated in front of Zhou Nuannuan, he felt so comfortable.

Zhang Qiyue sighed and said, "Okay, there is indeed a way, but it is very risky and difficult to implement, I don't think it's necessary." ”

"What's the solution, let's hear it. Bai Cha walked over and said expressionlessly.

Zhang Qiyue tilted his neck to look at Bai Cha, and said for a while: "Proud as you, you will actually come over to ask for my opinion?"

Bai Cha said indifferently: "I don't have to be proud in front of you, you won me, of course you are qualified to let me ask for advice." ”

Zhang Qiyue was speechless for a moment and said, "Is it really good that you use such a stinky fart attitude to express your modesty?"

Xiao Shuo couldn't help but say: "Don't talk nonsense, a circle of people is waiting for you, say it quickly!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with burning eyes, Zhang Qiyue couldn't take a posture anymore, sorted out his thoughts, and said eloquently: "The core of the soul attraction lock is the soul attraction array, and the soul attraction array is composed of several formations, the most important main array is actually a phantom array, Miss Zhao has an extremely strong obsession, and with her at the expense of soul power, she can drive the soul attraction array with such a low cultivation." If not, how would she use such a method of locking her soul against the sky? So how to break her obsession is the core of solving this problem. ”

Seeing that everyone looked like they didn't understand, Zhang Qiyue continued: "My idea is to first try to use a means acceptable to Miss Zhao to let her loosen all her obsessions with herself, and while she is in a trance, use the same level of phantom array or mind control means to suppress the counterattack of the soul attraction array, and then several people with strong divine sense will go deep into the phantom array and break the center of the soul attraction array, and the problem can be easily solved." I estimate that the center of the phantom array is very likely to be the personal object of Li Qun, who is the leader of the array. ”

Zhou Nuannuan didn't fully understand, but she still understood, and said: "The idea is very clear, but where is the risk?"

Zhang Qiyue looked at everyone and said, "Any step that is not done well is a risk. And it takes a lot of cooperation, anyway, do we have this configuration?"

Bai Cha said in a deep voice: "There are many masters here, how can you know if you don't try it." ”

"Yes. Zhou Nuannuan pouted and said, "I have all the methods, but I don't dare to do it, and I'm too aggrieved." ”

Zhang Qiyue put his hand on his forehead, and after a long time, he stretched out his thumb and said loudly: "Okay! You are all heroic sons and daughters, I really admire it! But can you use your brains to think about it, what is Miss Zhao's obsession?" Zhang Qiyue's tone turned to mockery, "Her obsession is love, I want to ask you, which of you is well versed in the way of love? Who dares to stand up, this first step to loosen the obsession of the task will be handed over to him!"

A group of young talents looked at each other and were silent.

Zhang Qiyue spread his hands and said, "I can't walk in the first step, and I still try to fart." ”
