In the following days in Weicheng, Shen Ning was busy restoring order in Weicheng while arranging other things.

In half a month, the Tsing Yi Division and the Heavenly Master's Mansion had gathered to support Henan Province, so Shen Ning began to arrange personnel to investigate some strategic cities around Henan Province.

Among them, he has done some thought in the matching of personnel, basically a team of six people, there are those who are good at attacking and killing and those who are good at illusion formations, and the most important thing is that they are equipped with personnel who are good at concealing their whereabouts, they don't have to participate in the battle, even if someone is going to die in battle, their task is only to make an intelligence summary of the things at that time, and bring them back That's it.

For the clean-up activities carried out by Shen Ning, the large and small sects of Henan Province have a supportive attitude, and even took the initiative to send disciples to assist them, although the imperial court did not have substantial help, but still acquiesced to this operation, so things have been carried out very smoothly.

It was also the operation carried out this time that allowed the Heavenly Master's Mansion and Tsing Yi Division to eradicate many wild gods in the rear of the battlefield, which can be regarded as a clear understanding of the hidden dangers in advance.

After dealing with the cleaning of the last two cities, Shen Ning met with the disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion who had been sent to Henan Dao to investigate the situation by relying on the teleportation array, and they made a written report on the information they had collected in the past few days.

Shen Ning took the report, read it carefully, and summarized the main points about these points.

First, after experiencing the battle of Zucchini Road (west of Hulu Mountain), although the elite monks of Henan Province suffered heavy losses, the demon clan also did not get any benefits, the two big demons died in battle, and the bones of the dead little demons accumulated into a mountain, and the throne demon was seriously injured, and his life and death are unknown, it is certain that there is more than one throne demon.

Second, the town guard of Henan Province was seriously injured in the battle of Zucchini Road, and the affairs of Henan Province are currently coordinated by the Suzaku and White Tiger who are supported by the two of them, and the two have adopted a more conservative style of play, and they are fighting against each other in Shangqiu City, which is eighty miles away from Hulu Mountain, and both sides have not been able to gain the upper hand for a while.

These two situations were expected by Shen Ning, the only thing that surprised Shen Ning was that Shangqing Sect actually appeared on the list of intelligence, and there was still a lot of information about it, thinking of Zifu Lingyue's grudge, Shen Ning studied it carefully.

The information was written very succinctly, and Shen Ning glanced at it cursoryly, and probably figured out the details.

Roughly speaking, the Shangqing Sect did two things during the war, during the war, the Shangqing Sect took in the orphans who survived the war, provided them with food, clothing, and shelter, and even those with Yuan Pulse talents were able to enter the Shangqing Sect to practice.

Another thing is that after the third elder of the Shangqing Sect broke off for the army in the battle of Zucchini Dao, his life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Judging from these two things simply, the contribution of the Shangqing Sect in Henan Province is not small, not only taking in homeless orphans, but even Elder Taishang is very likely to die in the battle in Zucchini Road for the overall situation of Henan Province.

If it weren't for the words of Youzi Fu Lingyue before, with preconceived thinking, Shen Ning's first thought must be that this sect is for the country and the people, and it is worthy of being the head of the hundred schools of Henan Daoxianmen.

But it was precisely because of Zi Fu Lingyue's reminder that Shen Ning's first reaction was to maintain a skeptical attitude towards these things, and after calling away the disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion who had found out the information, Shen Ning went to Zi Fu Lingyue and wanted to talk to her in detail.

Besides, his intuition told him that Zifu Lingyue went south to Henan Province this time, and it was definitely not simply to deal with the demon trouble in Henan Province, and there was probably also the idea of investigating the Shangqing Sect to collect evidence behind this, but no matter what kind of idea it was, for Shen Ning, as long as she supported her unconditionally.

Although the two of them have nothing in name, in fact, Zifu Lingyue has already handed herself over to him.

In such a situation, as long as it does not violate his bottom line, Shen Ning will make a lot of sacrifices for her.

Coming to the inn where Zifu Lingyue is stationed, she is in the room processing the information about the wild gods from all over the world these days, for the wild gods who are unable to deal with the team that they can't handle, she will carry out new personnel scheduling, as for the wild gods that are disposed of, she will record them in detail, and when they return to the city of Shenjing, these are their achievements.

Shen Ning first poured a glass of water, then put it in front of her desk, and said softly: "I saw that the light in your room was on last night, why are you still busy now, if you really can't handle it, you can give me some official documents." ”

Zifu Lingyue frowned, and flipped through the official document without raising her head.

"You still have so many things to deal with, I can share a little, naturally I have to share a little, not to mention that there are still many stars in the Tsing Yi Division who do not obey your dispatch, if I don't come forward, I am afraid that your prestige will be damaged."

Zi Fu Lingyue was telling the truth, Shen Ning had gone from an unknown disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion to a commander of two hundred cultivators, and he would not be convinced by anyone else.

"It's all trifles."

A faint smile appeared on Shen Ning's face, he was confident that he would be able to subdue this group of people.

"Look at this." As she spoke, Zi Fu Lingyue handed Shen Ning an official document.

Shen Ning took it and looked at it, his brows couldn't help frowning, the information on it was about the Wild God Inspiration King who had caused trouble in Weicheng before, according to the information sent back by the Tsing Yi Si Xingzhu, the Inspiration King was still active in the Nanyang City area after the retreat of the Weishan people.

Shen Ning finished reading a copy, but unexpectedly, Zifu Lingyue handed Shen Ning another document, which was also about the King of Inspiration, but this time the location was changed to Xiapi, which was far away from Nanyang City.

I looked at the date, and it was actually recorded on the same day.

"How so?"

Shen Ning felt that the problem was a little bizarre, could it be that the King of Inspiration would have any other doppelganger or other spells?

Zi Fu Lingyue rubbed her forehead with a faint pain, and sighed: "Zheng Gong once said that although our small world is not as good as the gods of the world, there are laws that only belong to our world, and these gods have naturally been abandoned by the law after abandoning us, and if they want to return again to replenish their karma, it is not allowed by the way of heaven, and they can only rely on the way of sacrifice to let the people of the Great Jin Dynasty recall their doppelgangers, and the strength of these doppelgangers is less than one in ten compared to the ontology, and there are many restrictions. For example, when the true body is initially condensed, the metaphysical magic they can use can only be selected from the natal magic, and then with the addition of karma, they can unlock some of their own restrictions, so as to use more spells, if I guess correctly, the inspiration king has unlocked the restrictions of the doppelganger, and at present, it may have one or two more spells than before, which is beyond our understanding, and it is very tricky to deal with, and it appears in both places, Most likely, it was one of the spells it regained. ”

"If that's the case, it's worth it for the two of us to go find him ourselves." Shen Ning sighed slightly: "If he is allowed to continue like this, then it will be difficult for the situation in Henan Province to stabilize, not to mention that there must be more than the wild god of the King of Inspiration in the hands of the Evil Mountain." ”

Zi Fu Lingyue was noncommittal, she was ready to deal with the final official documents, and Shen Ning was ready to deal with the relevant matters of the Inspiration King.

.......

"I have something to show you, too."

Shen Ning saw that Zi Fu Lingyue was busy again, and when she was almost busy, she put the information she had obtained in advance on the table.

Zi Fu Lingyue originally wanted to drink saliva first, but when she heard Shen Ning say that she had something to see, she changed the hand that was reaching for the water cup to the paper with the information written on it.

Originally, Zifu Lingyue's expression was quite calm when she saw it, but when she saw Shangqing Sect, Shen Ning could clearly feel that her originally steady breathing became a little shorter.

After half a ring, Zi Fu Lingyue said with a slight sneer: "Why, they have done too much to do bad things, so they want to do something good to make up for it?" ”

Shen Ning shook his head and expressed the doubts in his heart after reading the information.

"If, according to what you said before, the Shangqing Sect slaughtered the other hundred immortal sects, then their ambitions are not small."

"From the perspective of substituting this prerequisite, taking in orphans can not only create a good reputation for them, but also make a lot of efforts to reserve talents for the sect, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"However, the problem exists, there are thousands of orphans they have taken in, so many people, even if they are still children, food and clothing are also a lot of expenses, not to mention that some of them have to practice, the resources needed before and after, even if the Shangqing Sect is the head of the hundred schools of Xianmen, I am afraid it will not be able to consume."

"But they chose to do so, which means they have enough wealth to support these children until they reach adulthood and beyond."

"Because of the political reform of Emperor Taizu Gao, the current Xianmen Baijia has greatly reduced the sources of money that can be obtained, and the main source is to deal with the demons in various places and exchange merit for silver, but in doing so, even if it is added to the money obtained from other unknown channels, it is difficult to support so many children."

"I suspect that if it was really them who slaughtered the other hundred immortal sects, then it is very likely that this money came from these immortal sects and was accumulated."

The more Zi Fu Lingyue listened, the more rapid her breathing became, Shen Ning's analysis could be said to be very clear, and this possibility could not be ruled out.

"As for the whereabouts of Elder Taishang, I don't know where he is." The corners of Shen Ning's mouth rose slightly, and he made a more daring conjecture: "If this Supreme Elder is deliberately missing, the matter of Henan Dao will become even more interesting now." ”

If it was just that the previous inference only shocked Zi Fu Lingyue's heart, then Shen Ning's words were undoubtedly more like a depth charge.

"What you mean is that if Elder Taishang didn't really die in the battle in Zucchini Dao, then it means that they have a secret that no one knows, and this secret can't even be known to the imperial court or anyone who has nothing to do with the Shangqing Sect."

Shen Ning nodded heavily, Zifu Lingyue's words were exactly what he wanted to say.

After explaining the matter clearly, the two fell into silence for a while, and in the end, it was Shen Ning who broke the silence: "I think you can ......" ”

Before Shen Ning's words were finished, Zifu Lingyue interrupted: "Are you trying to say that I can disappear from everyone's sight like the Supreme Elder of the Qing Sect?" ”

Shen Ning nodded.

"But can you do without me?" Zi Fu Lingyue asked rhetorically: "What's more, I'm about to face a doppelganger demon." ”

"It's just a few small things, think of a way, and it can always be solved." Shen Ning smiled, of course he knew in his heart that without Zifu Lingyue's help, his current situation would be even more difficult.

But he knew that Zi Fu Lingyue had always been thinking about the revenge of destroying the sect in his heart, so after getting useful information, he would think about her as soon as possible.

What he didn't expect was that Zifu Lingyue would make the same choice as him.

"Let's put this matter aside for a moment." Zi Fu Lingyue took a sip of tea, sorted out the official document on the table, and said lightly: "Let's put this matter aside for a while, after all, this is just your speculation, if you delay the business because of this matter, neither of us can afford to take this responsibility." ”

"What's more, my father and they are dead."

When he heard this, Shen Ning knew that the woman in front of him had a soft heart under her indifferent appearance, and subconsciously reached out from behind her and hugged her: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you find an answer to what happened back then." ”

If Shen Ning usually wants to hug him like this, then it is very likely that he will draw his sword in exchange, even if there is already a husband and wife between them.

But that happened under the impetus of many factors, and since then, unless Shen Ning has carried a sedan chair to marry him, it is impossible to be so intimate.

But now, Zi Fu Lingyue made an exception and let Shen Ning hold her, just responding softly: "I believe in you." ”

The two of them chatted in the room for a long time, and finally decided to put this matter aside, after all, the problem in front of them is even more difficult, if the Inspiration King continues to absorb karma, and when his strength is enough to derive a doppelganger, then it will undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the situation in Henan Province, and before that, it is absolutely necessary to contain it as much as possible, and it is best to be able to get rid of it.

Of course, Shen Ning will not let the Shangqing Sect do evil, and the main force is focused on dealing with the demon troubles in Henan Dao, and the rest of him will send people to collect information about the Shangqing Sect and the whereabouts of the Taishang Elder.

If Elder Taishang really died, then all previous speculations would be null and void.

Regarding the matter of the Shangqing Sect, it is necessary to take a long-term view and look for clues from other places.

But if he is still alive, then this matter is likely to be the best opportunity to investigate the Shangqing Sect.

Although before the problem of demons in Henan Province was solved, it was impossible for the imperial court and the hundred schools of Xianmen to take into account the overall situation against Shangqing Sect.

But as long as enough evidence is gathered, they are likely to be the straw that breaks the camel's back!
