Chapter 36: The Fog Grows
"My lord, what is he doing here?"
Seeing Zhang Tao's movements, the Sky Survey guards who rushed over looked at Lin Bufan in great confusion and asked, "Does he want the dead to rest in peace?" ”
"I noticed a fluctuation of spiritual power, what kind of secret magic should he be performing..."
Hearing this, Lin Bufan's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the gossip disk in his palm and quickly flashing the mysterious runes, explaining: "The Demon Suppression Plate can sense the fluctuations of aura, ghost energy, demon energy, and demonic energy between heaven and earth. ”
Half an hour later.
Zhang Tao looked disappointed and walked out of the house, he didn't find detailed information, only found some fragments in the other party's spirit.
He shook his head, what he was worried about still happened, sighed, and said, "Sure enough, the time of death is too long, and most of the three souls and seven spirits have dissipated, and it is impossible to use the God Search Technique to detect all the memories..."
Fortunately, when Wang Wenzhi was dying, he saw the identity of the murderer in the memory of the other party, and the intermittent information about the dossier room.
"In the end, I gave Xu Jin's old fox the first step and killed people." His brow furrowed slightly.
The burned dossier room is a number of population dossier records about the disappearance of villages near Tianwu Town in Wuling Mountain in recent years, and he has no specific information.
"Did you find anything?"
Lin Bufan stepped forward with his hands in his hands, and asked in a calm tone: "From the symptoms of the deceased, can you deduce who killed it?" ”
He didn't have much hope, but when he saw the other party's brows furrowed and his face solemn, he just subconsciously asked casually.
But who knows, the answer he got was beyond his expectations.
"Well, there are some discoveries."
Zhang Tao bowed his head slightly, raised his eyes and saw that it was Lin Bufan of the Demon Slaying Hall who asked, and immediately looked solemn, sorted out his language, and explained: "The person who took his life was from the Blood Clothes Hall, and there was an obvious bloody handprint on his chest, and the tendons and veins in his body were broken, which was the same as the death of those villagers in Zaoshu Village. ”
Immediately, he added: "Judging from the stiffness of the deceased's body, the time of death should have been at night, and I don't know the exact hour." ”
"You were investigating the other party's death just now?"
Hearing his explanation, Lin Bufan looked sideways slightly, looked at him in some surprise, recalled the aura fluctuations he sensed earlier, and couldn't help but say curiously: "What did you find by using secret techniques?" ”
He learned from the information reported by Zhao Gongping that the young man in front of him, who seemed to be a Confucian scholar, was just a poor demon hunter before, and he was equipped with all kinds of magical abilities, and there were some unexpected effects.
"Just now I used the secret technique to channel, and I felt his dissipated three souls and seven spirits..."
Zhang Tao didn't hide too much about his behavior just now, but simply changed his concept and muttered: "The destroyed files are all about some cases of missing people. ”
After all, there are many demon hunters in the rivers and lakes, and they all have some mysterious side ways, and for these unique tricks, everyone in the Sky Survey Division can be said to be not surprised, and they can't raise the slightest interest.
Lin Bufan didn't ask too much about the 'psychic' secret technique mentioned in his mouth, as a cultivator, he had obtained many authentic magic techniques in the Heaven Survey Division, so he was naturally not interested in the strange and obscene techniques on the rivers and lakes, but was interested in the case of missing persons.
With a thoughtful look on his face, he vaguely felt that there must be something strange in it, and asked, "Is there any detailed information about the disappearance of people?" ”
"For detailed information, then you have to ask a professional." Zhang Tao shook his head.
"Come on, gather all the catchers in the county office."
Lin Bufan turned his head to the Sky Survey Guards beside him and ordered, "I will interrogate them alone." ”
"Whoa!"
After receiving the order, one of the Sky Survey guards bowed with his fists and quickly disappeared into the courtyard.
Immediately, he looked at the remaining Sky Survey Guards, thought for a while, and said, "Wait until you go and search the various rooms, and if you find anything suspicious, come back and report it in time." ”
"Yes!"
The rest of the Sky Survey Guards were ordered to gallop to the county government in all directions, their movements were uniform and well-trained.
Seeing this, Zhang Tao was about to go with everyone to search for the mansion, but was stopped by Lin Bufan.
"Zhang Tao, you stay, follow me to interrogate those catchers...", he stopped in time.
"Yes."
Zhang Tao didn't have any opinions, and was happy to follow the other party to learn more information.
......
After a stick of incense.
The government office.
Zhang Tao followed behind Lin Bufan, standing above the empty lobby, and outside the door was a group of anxious fast catchers.
"Brother Liang, what did you say that the Thousand Households of the Sky Survey Guard suddenly summoned us for?" Youkuai looked at the man in front of him nervously.
"You don't know, what can I know?"
Liang Wenshan's face fell, and he felt very bottomless in his heart, and whispered in fear: "Maybe you want to know from us about the situation of cleaning up the remnants of the Demon Gate..."
When he said this, he was also unconfident, his expression was anxious, obviously he didn't even believe what he said.
"Squeak!"
Just when the crowd was waiting outside the house with anxiety, the door of the public hall suddenly opened, which frightened them and broke out in a cold sweat.
Zhang Tao walked out of the room with an expressionless face, pointed at Liang Wenshan's nose, and said coldly: "You come in, the others continue to wait outside..."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the court, leaving everyone looking at each other, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what greets them.
Waiting is tormenting.
Especially the unknown waits, that is the painful torment!
I watched one companion after another walk into the house, but they never came out, and there was no other movement in the house.
The rest of the catchers saw such a situation, the pressure was doubled, and the psychological defense line almost collapsed...
"Zhang Tao, do you think what they said is too credible?"
After interrogating all the arrests alone, Lin Bufan dispersed them and left, leaving Zhang Tao alone in the silent public court.
"They said that those missing young men were all taken captive by the mountain gods of Wuling Mountain, and I think it may be someone with ulterior motives..."
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Tao said his thoughts and continued to add: "Whether it is the Mountain God or the Demon Gate Blood Cloak Hall, it seems that they are inseparable from Wuling Mountain..."
Wuling Mountain, more than 300 miles away from the outside of Tianwu Town, the mountain range is rugged, the peaks are numerous, the trees are lush, the strange stones are rugged, and the fog lingers all the year round, so it is named.
"According to the local chronicle, it is rumored that this Wuling Mountain is a blessed land, and there is a Taoist temple located in it, because the incense is very strong, it attracts many villagers under the mountain to worship and make wishes..."
Hearing this, Lin Bufan flipped through the local chronicles in his hand, and said slowly: "But sixty years ago, this Taoist temple disappeared inexplicably, I don't know why there were rumors of mountain gods near Wuling Mountain, and then there were frequent incidents of demons and evil people, and the young adults in the surrounding villages began to disappear one after another..."
"If you look at the frequency of disappearances, the number of people who have disappeared in sixty years should reach a very horrific number!"
Hearing the explanation in his ear, Zhang Tao's face changed suddenly, and he instantly understood why Xu Jin's old fox would sit in the position of county magistrate.
Everything here must be the masterpiece of the Bloody Cloak Hall!
In order to cover up the disappearance of the human being and prevent it from attracting the attention of the imperial court.
"Bastard, who the hell is the official here who is selected to take the position."
Thinking of the very large number of missing people, Lin Bufan was suddenly furious, his eyes were cold, and his body overflowed with terror, and he shouted in a low voice: "There must be spies in the imperial court, and there is no impermeable wall in the world, otherwise this matter would not have been concealed for so long." ”
"If that's the case, then the matter involved in this matter is more serious!"
Zhang Tao lowered his eyebrows and pondered, feeling that this matter was very involved, and it was not something he could get involved now, so he couldn't help but continue to shift his attention to the matter of the mountain god of Wuling Mountain, and other matters related to the court's inner deception should be handed over to a powerful and meddled high-ranking official like Lin Bufan.
He deliberately evaded the matter of the court's spies, and changed the subject: "Lord Qianhu, our top priority now is to solve the matter of Wuling Mountain and Bloody Clothes Hall, otherwise there will be innocent people killed..."
"Hmm!"
Lin Bufan's face was as gloomy as water, and the dusty temperament exuded from his body also became cold and cold at this time, and no one should enter.
"The remnants of the Demon Gate should indeed be cleared!" He said coldly.
After speaking, with a wave of his sleeves, his figure disappeared abruptly, appearing above the mansion, hanging in the air.
"What are your orders to meet Lord Qianhu?"
With the appearance of the elegant figure, Zhao Gongping and Luo Ren, two hundred households who were on guard around the palace, immediately flew off the wall and swept the ground.
"Gather all the Heavenly Patrol Guards, and follow me to destroy the Demon Guard!"
Lin Bufan stood in the air, his clothes fluttering, he was above the mansion, condescending, looking around with sharp eyes, and seeing the situation of the entire Tianwu Town.
He pinched the trick with both hands, his fingers flew illusory, and the demon suppression disk floated in front of his chest, constantly changing the light of the runes.
"Whoa!"
Zhao Gongping and Luo Ren looked stunned, and they didn't say much nonsense when they saw this, they knew that the other party had fallen into a state of rage at this time, and the situation was very serious.
Without saying a word, they immediately sent a special contact signal and summoned the Sky Survey Guards scattered throughout the palace.
Kung Fu in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Tao saw dozens of figures passing in all directions, gathering in front of Zhao Gongping and Luo Ren in a dignified manner.
Seeing that everyone was serious and didn't say a word, he also stood silently in the middle of the team, looking at the sky with his head held high, staring at Lin Bufan's movements.
Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do with this method, it didn't prevent him from observing the other party's mysterious and magical exercises.
"Looking at Lin Qianhu's appearance, he should be using the Demon Suppression Plate to search for the fluctuation of demonic qi throughout the city!"
I don't know when, Wu Fatzi quietly came over and whispered in his ear: "I'm afraid there will be another bloody battle next..."
After speaking, his fat began to tremble with excitement, and he looked eager to try.
"This town demon disk can trace qi fluctuations?"
Zhang Tao was surprised and curious, he didn't expect that this palm-sized gossip plate actually had its own GPS positioning function, which was completely beyond his cognition.
