Chapter 38: The Runaway Psychic Puppet
According to common sense, even if Cui Shutong, a puppet, had the strength of the Yuanying Five Realms, it would still be difficult to cause the Liyuan Sword to tremble and produce a piercing buzz. After all, Chen Xuanzong is the Yang God Seven Realms, and he is two whole realms higher than him.
Gu Changan pondered, is there a possibility-that is, when Cui Shutong appeared as a black-robed person, he carried a magic weapon that could amplify his own breath?
The function of this magic weapon is to bluff?
If you explain it this way, it makes sense in theory!
Because at that time, the black-robed man didn't dare to make a move with Chen Xuanzong, but just made an excuse that if the two of them made a move, it would affect the life and death of 50,000 people in a radius.
Then, he threw out a smoke mine, rescued Zhao Sishui, who had gone crazy and had become a puppet of the living, and by the way, he kidnapped Shen Lingyin, a new Oiran with a pure yin physique.
That's right! As long as you follow this logic and reason, all doubts will be swept away, interlocking, and completed in one go!
A magic weapon that can amplify one's own breath......
This conjecture is a prerequisite for subsequent reasoning.
Gu Changan silently engraved this conjecture in the depths of his mind, and then bowed his hand to Master Yan: "Very good, I already know all the causes and consequences of the matter. I'll mobilize my connections as soon as possible to help you find the whereabouts of this anthropomorphic puppet. ”
Yan Shidao got up from the seat, and also waved his hand to Gu Changan, and said movingly: "Cui Shutong, this puppet, is the old man's masterpiece, but if he endangers the world, the old man will not be able to escape the blame. If Childe can find his whereabouts, the old man will be grateful! ”
"During this period, I also hope that Senior Yan will leave the Ghost Alley as soon as possible and go to Tiandu City, so that I can contact ...... in time when the time comes" Gu Changan discussed the new contact location with the other party before leaving with Chen Xuanzong.
The two left on the front foot, and Qiao'er, a young man on the back foot, entered the box with a bag full of Shenshu boxes, looked at Master Yan with a displeased face and said: "Master, we usually rely on those sixteen heavenly slave puppets to make money, so we have the entanglement of walking the rivers and lakes. You're going to let them go? ”
Yan Shidao reprimanded coldly: "What is the mere sixteen heavenly slave puppets, and finding Cui Shutong, the puppet immortal, is the top priority!" ”
……
Those who enter the ghost alley for the first time need to pass through the Youquan Sea once.
But in fact, there are several "shortcuts" between Tiandu City and Ghost Alley. Once you've been to Haunted Alley, these "shortcuts" will automatically open to you.
After Gu Changan and Chen Xuanzong left the Nine Shadows Building, they walked through the streets and alleys all the way and came to a simple thatched archway.
Ahead is the end of the road, like a deep black hole, devouring light in all directions.
But the center of the black hole is not so dark that you can't see anything, but instead presents a blurry, distorted light and shadow - that is Yinquan Street before Gu Chang'an went down to the ghost alley.
Gu Changan and Chen Xuanzong slowly walked into this deep black hole through the thatched archway, and the outline of their figures was also slowly distorted and slowly deformed, until they were completely swallowed by the black hole......
The light and shadow around the two of them changed, and within three breaths, the world in front of them had become a fish market Yinquan Street. At this time, they were standing under another thatched archway, and behind them was also a deep black hole.
Unlike in Ghost Alley, there is a level set up by bad people in front of you, and everyone who usually enters and exits Ghost Alley needs to register information at the checkpoint.
After Gu Changan stepped forward to register briefly, he hurried all the way to Guangming Temple.
He went down the ghost alley today and found out a major clue about Zhao Sishui's case, so he naturally had to report it to the bad handsome Gao Sheng as soon as possible, and then it would be decided by the Guangming Temple.
However, when he walked a mile in the city, he suddenly noticed that there was a fairy paper crane above his head, and it also flew in the direction of the Guangming Temple, scattering a little spiritual light particles in the air along the way.
"Looking at the direction in which this fairy paper crane is flying, it seems to be the northeast direction of Tiandu City."
"At this point in time, who will pass the book to the paper crane of Guangming Temple?"
Gu Changan had a guess in his heart, and then he had a trace of expectation, but he was not sure, so he accelerated his pace to chase the fairy paper crane and continued to rush towards the Guangming Temple.
It's just that this fairy paper crane seems to have undergone a spell rush process, and its flight speed is more than three times faster than that of ordinary paper crane transmission. Gu Changan was so angry all the way that his feet were so fast that he almost took off from the ground, but he still couldn't catch up with this extremely fast fairy paper crane.
In the end, he could only watch as it flew into the Temple of Light first.
Gu Changan showed the bad guy's waist card and rushed all the way into the righteous qi hall behind the blown up Hanging Mirror Hall.
There were several bad people standing in the righteous hall, and Gao Shenggang in the center had just opened the flying fairy paper crane and was reading the letterhead with a solemn face.
Xu Xiaohu, who was on the side, saw Gu Changan coming in a hurry, and joked in a low voice: "Xiao Cicada, what are you doing today, the texture of this dress is not bad." ”
Gao Sheng had already finished reading the letter at this time, and his eyes also turned to Gu Changan: "Little Cicada, did you rush back to Guangming Temple in such a hurry, did you already find clues on the side of Ghost Alley?" ”
Gu Changan looked left and right at a few unfamiliar bad people in the hall, and said with some hesitation: "Yes, and the mystery of this case is very surprising, and it may cause serious consequences......
The implication is to make the other party hold back so that he can make a more detailed report.
It's just that Gao Sheng smiled bitterly, and then said: "The thirty-seven female corpses that disappeared have not been found so far, and I will enter the palace with Han Shaoqing later, and present the jade jade sent by the six-tailed fox demon to Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven." These two things have now reached the point of burning eyebrows, and we really can't spare manpower and energy to investigate Zhao Sishui's case. ”
After saying this, he handed the letter in his hand forward: "This is the paper crane handbook that Daoist Ling Xuzi has just arrived, he has already discovered the hiding place of the black-robed man and Zhao Sishui - in a mountain temple seven miles northeast of Tiandu City, the new Oiran named Shen Lingyin is not dead. ”
Sure enough, it was Ling Xuzi's paper crane handbook...... Gu Changan asked, "Then how do you plan to deal with this matter?" ”
Gao Sheng exhaled a breath of turbid breath in his chest, and his tone was a little heavy: "Now those thirty-seven female corpses are probably all abnormal, and they may cause even greater tragedy and bloodshed in Tiandu City at any time.
"Now either we can wait until the thirty-seven female corpses are found, and then we can allocate manpower to deal with Zhao Sishui's case. Either if you are willing to arrest the murderer, I can only send you two additional manpower, plus Ling Xuzi Dao Chief, you are a total of four people......"
The friendship between Gu Changan and Zhao Sishui is not too deep, but it is not too shallow.
After getting along for more than ten days, no matter whether Zhao Sishui has become a living puppet or not, at least the other party treats him as a friend.
Because on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after Zhao Sishui broke through the wall of inscriptions, the first person to face the other party was him.
But from the eyes of Zhao Sishui's pair of scarlet demons, he not only saw the monstrous bloodthirsty desire, but also saw a trace of residual rationality, the other party was unwilling to attack him and hurt him, so that kind of violent struggle and convulsions would occur!
Even if Gu Changan can't restore him to his original state, he can still seek justice for him and take revenge on Cui Shutong's anthropomorphic puppet for him! Second, it may also help him alleviate his pain, so that he can leave this world in a more dignified way......
After a short period of sadness in his heart, Gu Changan replied decisively: "Then let me go and arrest the murderer!" ”
Gao Sheng nodded approvingly, and then shouted: "Lu Dayou, Xu Xiaohu, out of the ranks!" ”
Lu Dayou and Xu Xiaohu came out of the crowd at the same time.
Gao Sheng pointed to Gu Changan and said, "You obey Xia Xiaochan's command, rush to the mountain temple seven miles northeast of Tiandu City, and together with Daoist Ling Xuzi, arrest the murderer!" ”
Lu Dayou and Xu Xiaohu hugged their fists at the same time and said: "Yes, Gao Shuai!" ”
