Chapter 68: Investigation of the Cause
Han Tianci controlled his flying boat to keep approaching the Li Mansion, while he stood on the flying boat and took out the finely carved jade flute that the stunning woman who called herself Yue'er gave to him to take a closer look, and couldn't help but think of what he saw and touched when he was healing his wounds before, and then Han Tianci hurriedly shook his head and sobered up, and said secretly: "Red face and troubled water." ”
Then he picked up the flute and put it to his mouth, and blew out a breath, who knew that there was a really ugly flute sound, and then, Han Tianci put away the jade flute in embarrassment, and muttered to himself: "It seems that I have to find time to find a music rhythm exercise to practice." ”
Then Han Tianci sped up the speed of the flying ship and quickly rushed to the destination.
According to the instructions of the bounty list mission, the Li Mansion that I went to this time was to investigate a strange thing, it is said that several disciples of Yuntian Sect who went before were missing and did not return for a long time, and Yuntian Sect also sent a strong person above the Martial King to investigate, but nothing unusual was found.
After a long time, no one dared to go, and Li Qing, the head of the Li Mansion, repeatedly asked the disciples or deacons of the Yuntian Sect to go and find out in the name of the affiliated forces of the Yuntian Sect, but after all, no one dared to go again, which also made Han Tianci extremely cautious about this mission.
Li Qing relied on passing through the northern border of Qinghe County and went to Beishan County, which is adjacent to Qinghe County, to sell all kinds of refining materials unique to Qinghe County, and Beishan County was mostly volcanic, so it also achieved the title of its refining holy land.
There is only one major sect in Beishan County, that is the Refining Weapon Sect, the Refining Weapon Sect is famous for refining weapons throughout Dongxuanzhou, and most of the weapons and magic weapons in Dongxuanzhou are from the Refining Weapon Sect, which has also become the reason for the close contact between several counties in Dongxuanzhou and Beishan County.
Han Tianci was in a hurry all the way, and after passing half a pillar of incense, he had already arrived at the town where the Li Mansion was located, 'Beishan Town'.
When Han Tianci walked into Beishan Town, he found that the prosperity of the town should not exist here, the streets here are not only desolate, but even the population is particularly sparse, Han Tianci walked through several streets, and found that the surrounding buildings are dilapidated, as if no one has lived here for a long time.
It was not easy to find an old man in tattered clothes, but when Han Tianci was about to step forward to ask, the old man saw Han Tianci as if he had seen something terrible, and hurriedly ran away.
This made Han Tianci puzzled, and then an afterimage crossed over, blocking the old man's face, there was no way, it was not easy to find someone in Beishan Town.
The old man saw Han Tianci appear in front of him in an instant, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing to Han Tianci, and kept shouting with a sad face: "My lord's life, my lord's life! The old man is over eighty years old, and he has no days to live, so I beg my lord to spare my life!"
Han Tianci frowned, listening to the old man's words, there must be something strange about this matter, and then helped up the trembling old man and said: "Old man, I have no malicious intentions, I am a passer-by passing here, I was going to come here to stay in the hotel, but I didn't expect to see this situation as soon as I came in, I don't know why." “
The old man heard that Han Tianci was just passing by, and then took a deep breath, and then said to Han Tianci: "I see, my lord doesn't know that this town will fall to this point, or because of the haunting of the Li family." ”
When Han Tianci heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and set up a silence around him and said, "Oh, haunted, I hope you can tell me more about it, old man." ”
Han Tianci said as he took out a piece of Gu Dan from the storage ring and handed it to the old man.
Although the old man was a mortal, he also lived in a place where there were many martial cultivators, so he naturally knew that this Bigu Dan had the effect of making people go without eating for a few days and nights, and they would not be hungry, so he immediately stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it, and then he also felt that the feeling of hunger before was gone.
The old man smiled with satisfaction, and then said to Han Tianci: "My lord, you don't know, I think my Beishan Town was still a prosperous township three years ago, and our town was mainly famous for selling all kinds of refining materials, and there was an endless stream of cultivators and mortals who came and went. ”
"But one night three years ago, the eldest son of the Li family, the largest in the town, suddenly disappeared, and Li Qing, the head of the Li family, hurriedly sent someone to look for it, but he couldn't find it. ”
"This is nothing, after all, there are occasionally people in the town who can't find it, which is normal, and everyone didn't go to their hearts, but then, dozens of martial arts cultivators began to disappear at the same time in the Li Mansion, which made the people in our town also start to panic, but after a few days, the martial artists in the town began to disappear inexplicably, and in the end, even the young strong men in our town began to disappear one by one. ”
When the old man said this, his teeth trembled, which also made Han Tianci frown when he heard it.
Then the old man continued: "The people in the town say that the Li Mansion is haunted, and there is no way to continue to stay in this town, so they all move away with their families, and even those who have lost their husbands and relatives do not dare to look for them, they all move away one by one, and only the people of the Li Mansion in the center of our town are still here." ”
"Hey, the old man is an old man who begs in this town, he is old, he can't walk, and he doesn't have any relatives, so he can only stay in this barren and populated Beishan Town, trembling and living. When the old man said this, he was extremely lonely, and kept sighing and shaking his head.
Han Tianci heard the old man's story, combined with the description on the task jade slip, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that those Yuntian Sect disciples who came to investigate also disappeared for no reason. There must be something strange in this Li Mansion, so it seems that we have to be cautious. ”
Then Han Tianci took out some Bigu Dan and a rune paper printed with runes and handed them to the old man and said: "Old man, these Bigu Dan are a little different, you can increase your strength and spirit after eating, and this rune paper can be thrown directly when you encounter danger, and you can also be seriously injured under the martial arts, so you can take it and leave this Beishan Town." ”
The old man took these Bigu Dan and the rune paper, and then knelt down and kowtowed to Han Tianci again with tears in his eyes and said, "Thank you for saving your life, thank you for saving your life."
Han Tianci stretched out his hand to help the old man, and then after instructing the old man a few words, he let the old man leave.
Subsequently, Han Tianci found a withered yellow tree, and after setting up the Five Elements Spirit Destroying Array, he began to meditate inside, he wanted to be at the peak as soon as possible, and the trip to the Li Mansion must not be taken lightly.
After a stick of incense, Han Tianci stood up, removed the Five Elements Spirit Extermination Array, and then put away the Five Absolute Swords on his back, and lowered his breath to the cultivation of the Five Martial Spirits.
After all, being able to hide a piece of strength at this time can have the effect of paralyzing the enemy.
Han Tianci doesn't think that this is done by ghosts, there must be someone behind the scenes, and this person in the dark is the one Han Tianci is the most careful.
Then Han Tianci took out his white folding fan, pretended to have an extremely arrogant expression, and went towards the Li Mansion with one hand behind his back and the other with the other.
