Looking at the two letters in front of him, Zhou An first received them in his hand.

On the letter, there was no indication of who sent it, the cover was clean, and not a word was left.

The two of them were just to deliver the letter, but after seeing Zhou An accept it, they didn't stay long and left one after another.

At this moment, the streets were dark, and there was no other source of light except for the moonlight, and it was not an occasion to read letters.

Zhou An pondered for a moment, put the letter away, pushed the door in, and after closing the door, he lit the oil lamp on the table.

The flames grew from small to large, lighting up the room.

Zhou An took out two letters, put them on the table, pondered for a while, and opened one of them.

Whatever it is, let's take a look at the content first.

The letter was opened, and inside was a piece of stationery with dense small print on it.

This is sent by the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, and the handwriting on it is known to Zhou An, and it is a letter written by Yu Hang.

"Yu Hang should be studying in the capital now, at this time, ask someone to send a letter, is it possible that it has something to do with me?"

He knew his brother best, so when he had an idea in his head, he immediately read the contents of the letter.

When he had finished reading the letter, he placed it on the table, looked at the flickering flame of the oil lamp on the table, and fell into deep thought.

A middle-aged man in white?

Not sure about identity?

Still asking for news from me?

Zhou An pondered secretly.

The content of the letter was very simple, it was about a middle-aged man in white who was inquiring about him, and he also said something about his character.

Yu Hang didn't explain too much, and added a few sentences later, which roughly meant that he wanted to ask someone to check, and if he could find useful information, he would write a letter to himself.

There are not too many clues on the letter, except for reminders.

Zhou An couldn't figure out the identity of the so-called middle-aged man in white, he thought about it and opened another letter.

This letter is different, it was sent by the Suppression Division.

Again, there were no clues on the envelope.

When Zhou An pulled out the letter inside and saw the contents on it, his brows furrowed slightly.

The letter begins with only four words.

- Lady in Gray.

If these four words are seen by others, they may feel confused.

But after Zhou An saw it, he felt inexplicably familiar.

"Isn't this Ye Shuang's girl?"

It is estimated that in the Great Chu Kingdom, there are only a few Ye Frost who can be seen in the gray-clothed state.

Zhou An is one of them, and Ye Shuang, who is in a gray state, has left a deep impression on him, and now when he eats, he will think of it.

Zhou An naturally will not forget.

"Ye Shuang wrote to me at this time, there must be something urgent."

With such a thought, Zhou An began to read it word by word.

It didn't take long for him to read the contents of the letter, put the two letters together, compared them, and then patted his head.

"I see, I know who he is!"

Ye Shuang's letter is also about a middle-aged man in white, named Yuan Qingyi, who is the junior brother of the national teacher, and he also told himself some of this person's experience.

In fact, I didn't say anything superfluous, just said that this person suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared again, and it seems that he is no longer a Taoist.

Zhou Wei compared the two letters a little and came up with the answer.

"This middle-aged man in white should be Ye Shuang's uncle Yuan Qingyi, but what is Yuan Qingyi coming to me for?" Zhou An touched his chin and fell into doubt.

At this moment, Zhou An read the two letters again, and finally locked his eyes on Ye Shuang's letter.

The letter said that Yuan Qingyi disappeared for a while and reappeared.

Zhou An grasped the main point, and his mind quickly thought about it.

A moment later, a light flashed through my mind.

Zhou An thought of something.

"Is it the male corpse?" Zhou Anxin pondered.

If someone disappeared for a while and reappeared, it was very consistent with the male corpse.

Think about it carefully, if Yuan Qingyi becomes a male corpse, will he disappear?

In addition, not long after Yaowanggu left, Yuan Qingyi appeared, which probably means that Yuan Qingyi was cured by Zhou An.

The idea is quite possible.

Zhou An tried his best to guess boldly, and felt more and more that this guess was very reliable.

After all, this point in time is perfectly right.

Zhou An brought the oil lamp, found another brazier, burned the two letters, and put them in the brazier.

When the letter in the brazier was completely turned to ashes, Zhou An kicked the brazier under the table.

"Whatever the reason, it's far away from me, so it's not in the scope of consideration for the time being, but I just need to be a little vigilant." Zhou Anxin had an idea, and his liver proficiency was still better.

Raise the Eye of Delusion to the next level as soon as possible.

After figuring it out, Zhou An stopped thinking about it and rested early.

Until he got up the next morning, Zhou An washed up briefly, had breakfast, and then went to the street again.

As usual, he looked around, mainly observing the demeanor and movements of passers-by.

This kind of observation has been transformed from the initial surface to more detailed.

Proficiency is also rising in an orderly manner.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was noon.

After looking at this location all morning, Zhou An felt that he had to change places, otherwise there would always be someone squatting on the street and watching, and he would always feel weird.

After going to the stall next to him for a little lunch, Zhou An paced the street and finally came to another street.

He still found a clean threshold, sat directly on it, and patiently observed.

Time is ticking, and proficiency is still skyrocketing.

Just when Zhou An thought that he would be fine tonight, a person suddenly appeared on the street.

Along with the appearance of this person, there was a loud noise.

Zhou An was also disturbed, and looked at the source of the voice.

He saw that at the end of the street, there was a young man dressed as a Taoist priest, who was rushing to this side.

The Taoist priest was holding a peachwood sword in his hand and an old gossip mirror in the other.

On the Taoist priest, he was wearing an ordinary Taoist robe, but other than that, there was nothing abnormal.

Beside this Taoist priest, there were several people chasing.

While chasing, there is also a noisy sound.

With Zhou An's current strength, even if it is noisy, he can hear it clearly.

"Trouble Jean, I'm really sorry, please let me a little, I have something urgent!"

"Dao Chief, it's in front, the room in front, just go in!"

"You must save my daughter, I am such a daughter at such an age!"

The voices of these people were anxious and panicked.

The Taoist priest who walked in front of him, carrying the hem of his Taoist robe, didn't say a word, and went straight to a house.

Soon, the Taoist priest arrived in front of the house.

Looking at the open door in front of him, he stepped in.

A few people behind him also walked in.

Zhou An pondered what this scene was going to do.

He wondered if he was going to change places and continue his liver proficiency.

But at this moment, the commotion came from the room again.

The Taoist priest walked out of the house first, and the remaining people carried out a twenty-eight year old girl from inside.

The girl was delicate, dressed in ordinary clothes, her eyes were closed, and her face was as pale as paper.

Zhou An now has the eye to break delusion, so he can naturally see it clearly.

He noticed that the girl's hands were flat on the sides of her thighs, but she was in a strange position.

The thumb of the left hand clasps the ring finger, and the four fingers of the right hand wrap the thumb.

This kind of weird posture has never been seen by Zhou An.

After the young Taoist priest came out, he shouted: "Everyone let go, don't let the onlookers watch, don't watch!" ”

The people around were originally quite interested, but when they heard this, they silently took a step back.

The chatter was heard immediately.

"What's going on? Isn't this the girl of the Liu family? Why did you suddenly fall into a coma? ”

"I don't know, it's an evil spirit, it is said that the girl of the Liu family fell ill after coming back from going to the mountains to collect medicine some time ago, and it didn't take long for her to faint in bed."

"It shouldn't be, the Liu family makes a living by collecting medicines, how could something suddenly happen? Could it be that it is really evil? ”

The voices of the people are endless.

Zhou An listened to it in his ears, and his brows furrowed.

While the people didn't look this way, he turned the Qi in his body, and his eyes turned golden.

The Eye of Delusion has the effect of reconnaissance and illusion, and he wants to see if he can see what the way is.

Immediately after, Zhou An discovered that something was wrong.

Between the postures of the lying girl's hands, there was a black gas that was permeating, which was brought about by the detection effect.

Zhou An saw this thing at a glance and saw an unusual situation.

If you want to talk about this black gas, he is very familiar with it.

It has appeared on Yuejiang Weird, and it has also appeared on her aunt a long time ago.

It's an eerie aura.

And it's remnant.

Zhou An frowned, and thought in his heart: "A girl, when she came back from going out to collect medicine, she was stuck with something weird and something." ”

Just as he was thinking this, the Taoist priest finally began to move.

He took out two pieces of talisman paper from his sleeve, one of which he placed at the center of the girl's eyebrows, and the other in his hand.

After the Taoist priest finished this action, he shouted: "Everyone all turn their backs, there are some things that cannot be seen!" ”

But no one answered what he said.

The people around looked at each other, but they looked more energetic.

This is a normal situation, how can you watch the excitement so much?

Especially in the Great Chu Kingdom, where there are not many entertainment activities, this excitement is first-class entertainment.

No one wants to run out of things to see.

When the Taoist priest saw this scene, he was a little anxious and wanted to say a few more words.

But the people around him still didn't listen.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps sounded again.

Zhou An looked along and saw a team of members of the Town Trick Division rushing over, and at the same time dispersed the surrounding people.

"Don't look at it, what should you do, leave quickly, say what about you, don't look at it anymore, I'll arrest you if you look at it again, let's go, let's go!" Let's go! ”

The members of the Suppression Division said as they drove away.

When the people saw that the officials and masters were coming, they didn't dare to look any further, for fear of causing trouble, so they left one after another.

Zhou An was still sitting on the threshold, looking at it with interest.

At this time, a member of the Town Trick Division looked at the young Taoist priest and said, "Daoist Deng, this matter will trouble you. ”

The young Taoist priest nodded, and then he was ready to continue.

But at this time, he subconsciously looked into the distance, and just saw Zhou An sitting on the threshold.

Zhou An observed with great interest.

This scene made the young Taoist priest slightly stunned, and then said to the members of the Town Trick Division next to him: "Trouble lord, there is still a common person there, let him leave for a while." ”

The members of the Zhen Wei Division nodded, followed the young Taoist priest's gaze, and then, the whole person was stunned on the spot.

The young Taoist priest didn't know what was happening, so he continued, "My lord, what's wrong? ”

He was a little strange, in this situation, the people had to be evacuated first, but why did the members of the Town Trick Division have such expressions.

The doubts in his heart made the young Taoist priest look at Zhou An again.

At this time, he found that Zhou An was walking towards this side.

"Hey, does this person have any special identity?" The young Taoist priest thought to himself.

Before he could figure it out, the members of the Town Trick Division next to him finally came back to their senses, and hurriedly arched their hands and said, "I've seen Lord Zhou, but I didn't expect Lord Zhou to be here." ”

Zhou An nodded, looked at the girl lying down, and asked, "What happened?" ”

The members of the Town Trick Division looked left and right, and then leaned next to Zhou An, and whispered: "Something went wrong, I encountered something weird, this Taoist priest is a person from the Qingyun Temple of the Daomen, and I just happened to meet it, and then when I came back, I came to our Town Trick Division to report the case, so I came over to deal with it." ”

Zhou An understood it, waved his hand, and said that he just happened to meet him, don't worry about him, and then deal with it.

The young Taoist priest Deng Song was very puzzled, but now it was important to save people, and he didn't ask Zhou An's identity more.

At this moment, one piece of talisman paper was pasted on the girl's forehead, and the other was held in Deng Song's hand, holding it between his index and middle fingers.

Deng Song put the talisman paper on his eyebrows, closed his eyes, and the Qi in his body was running for a while.

Immediately afterward, the rune paper burned without fire.

Zhou An saw that a line was connected between the two rune papers, and from the girl's hands, the black gas was sucked into another rune paper along the line connected by the rune paper.

The special posture of the girl's hands also disappeared.

As the flames rose, the paper was completely reduced to ashes.

Seeing this scene, Deng Song breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, it's just a little troublesome, and it's been completely solved."

At this time, even the girl's family was driven back to the house.

And as Deng Song finished saying this, the girl who had been in a coma opened her eyes and looked around in confusion, as if she didn't know what was happening.

The members of the Zhen Wei Division hurriedly squatted down and asked, "Girl, do you know what happened on the way to collect medicine?" ”

When she asked this, the girl was even more dazed, shaking her head, indicating that she didn't know.

"My lord, I really don't know what happened, when I went up the mountain to collect medicine, I suddenly found a cave, and when I went in, I saw a market behind the cave, and then I walked around, and I walked to a stall, and saw a lot of herbs in front of the stall, and the price was very cheap, so I went to buy a few, and planned to come back to sell them."

As the girl spoke, she wanted to hold up the ground next to her, but she had just stood up, and lay back on the ground, feeling weak.

It's weird to be tainted, it's good to be alive, and it's normal to be weak now.

When the young Taoist priest Deng Song heard the girl say this, his face became serious, he waved his sleeve robe, put the peach wood sword in his waist, and put another gossip bronze mirror on his chest: "Girl, can you take a look at those herbs?" ”

The girl didn't know whether it was clear or not, but when she saw that the scene was a little serious, she took out a few things from her arms.

While digging outside, he said, "That's it, these herbs are sold too cheaply, so I bought them...... Buy...... Yes!!! ”

In the middle of her sentence, the girl screamed and threw her things on the ground.

Where are the few herbs, but the bones of the human fingers.

The bones of the fingers were yellow, looking horrible, and stained with a little dirt.

After screaming, the girl fell to the ground and fainted.

In a house not far away, the girl's family heard the screams and wanted to come out, but were stopped by the members of the Suppression Division.

The leading member winked: "Carry the girl back, by the way, tell her family that it's okay, and then let's go to the town of the Tricksters." ”

The two members of the town division nodded, and sent the girl over as the leader said.

At this time, the leading member of the Town Trick Division turned his head and asked, "Lord Zhou, do you want to go and have a look together?" ”

Zhou An thought for a while, and then shook his head: "If I don't go, I still have to go back, I have something to do." ”

These things, find professional people.

Zhou An felt troublesome, and he still wanted to go back to liver proficiency.

Otherwise, if everything falls on your head, why do you want to suppress the tricks?

When the members of the Zhenwei Division heard Zhou An say this, they didn't dare to talk more.

Zhou An turned his head and left, leaving only a few of them in place.

The young Taoist priest Deng Song looked left and right, and asked cautiously, "My lord, who was that adult just now?" ”

He could feel that the members of the Suppression Division seemed to be very respectful to the person just now.

Hearing this, the members of the Zhenwei Division shook their heads: "You shouldn't ask, don't ask, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with it, although Qingyunguan is also a first-class force, it is best not to get involved in these things." ”

Deng Song nodded, indicating that he didn't want to get involved.

"Let's go, come with me to the town of the Tricksters, it seems that the girl's description just now is a bit similar to the Trick Gathering." Said the member of the Townsmen's Division.

Deng Song said quickly: "No problem, my lord, let's go now." ”

At this time, the members of the town division who went to appease the people also came out.

A few people left the street and walked towards the town of Tricksters.

……

Zhou An didn't care about these things, and at this time, he had already gone to another street.

For him, it was just an episode.

Now it's important to continue to improve the proficiency of the Eye of Delusion.

For a whole afternoon, Zhou An sat on the threshold of the street, observing pedestrians everywhere.

After the sun set and the people on the street left, Zhou An was not proficient in liver, so he went to a restaurant that confiscated the stall and had some food.

After eating, he went home.

It was already dark, and the streets were gloomy, with two dog barks from time to time, and watchmen began to haunt.

Zhou An walked on the street, and his voice was infinitely extended under the pull of the moonlight.

From where you eat to your home, it's not far.

Bypassing the streets, Zhou An had already walked half the way.

Today, the Eye of Delusion has gained a lot, and it is almost away from the next level.

Zhou An was walking, and at the same time, he was also thinking about how to improve next.

He was already thinking about what would happen after the fourth level.

Maybe it's time to change the trick again, so think about it in advance.

On the way back, it was quiet.

But the farther he walked forward, the slower Zhou An's pace became.

He stopped suddenly, turned his head away, and cast his gaze behind him.

The Qi in his body changed for a while, and then, his eyes became golden, like two suns, emitting a dazzling light.

Especially in this dark night, people dare not look directly.

An icy aura emerged from Zhou An's body, spreading across the street.

Through the Eye of Delusion, he saw that on the corner of the street not far behind him, there was a gloomy and cold aura, which was constantly approaching.

The speed was not fast, but as the aura approached, the cold feeling became more and more obvious.

The Eye of Delusion allowed him to detect it early, and at the same time, Zhou An reached into his arms and pulled out the Cold Crystal Knife from the pink money bag.

Under the light of the moon, the Cold Crystal Knife shimmered.

Zhou An stuck the cold crystal knife on the ground, faced the end of the street, and waited patiently.

After about a few breaths, the gloomy and cold aura finally revealed the true face of Lushan.

A merchant carries a burden and gradually walks from the end.

The merchant was dressed in ordinary clothes and brought a rag to wrap his hair.

In the right hand of the merchant, he carried a bell, and as the merchant walked, he shook the bell from time to time.

Shaking and shouting.

The sound of hawking was particularly clear and harsh on the street.

It stands to reason that even if the people slept at this time, they would not sleep too hard, but no one came out to see.

"Weird!"

Zhou An's golden pupils flickered.

The cold breath came from the merchant, and it was still surrounding, deepening.

This familiar atmosphere is no different from the weird.

Through the moonlight, you can see the merchant's face.

It was a bruise-purple face.

The facial features are ordinary, but the eyes are pale and white, especially the purple face, which looks even more eerie in the moonlight.

The hand that shook the bell had black nails, like ink.

The exposed skin, in addition to the face, the neck and arms are covered with large areas of corpse spots.

"Do you want the goods? Do you want the goods? Do you want the goods? ”

The merchant shook the bell while thinking in pieces, approaching Zhou An.

Those miserable white eyes stared at Zhou An, without the slightest humanity, all tyrannical and cold.

"Why did the weird find me?" Zhou An stood with a knife in his hand, his face calm.

His thoughts were not answered, because the merchant had already rattled the bell and walked five meters away.

"Do you want the goods? Do you want the goods? Do you want the goods? The strange merchant is still repeating.

At this time, layers of yin qi emerged from the burden he was carrying, turning into terrifying grimaces.

With a tooth-aching roar, Grimace bit down on Zhou An's limbs.

Looking at this rhythm, it seems that he wants to divide Zhou An's body alive.

But the grimaces didn't come closer, they just appeared, and they froze in mid-air.

The poisonous sword light flashed away, and the merchant in front of him was evenly cut into countless equal parts.

After the yin qi dissipated and the grimace disappeared, the merchant who had been cut into equals turned into a pile of ashes.

The surrounding streets are quiet again, and everything is as it was usual.

"Weak, pretending to be a ghost." Zhou An said lightly.

At this time, there was one more object on the ground besides the ash.

It was a finger bone, about the length of an index finger, with the yellow color of the bone.

Seeing this scene, Zhou An touched his chin and remembered the girl he met on the street in the morning.

"Isn't this finger bone taken out by the girl from before?"

"The medicine girl, the weird, and the merchant, what's the situation?" Zhou An touched his chin and thought.

Originally, he didn't want to pay attention to this matter, but it seems that he has found himself again?

This weird thing has no humanity, only knows how to kill the living, and has a natural aversion to the living.

Zhou An felt that he didn't have to go back now.

This weird thing is still solved when it is glued, and it is not easy to look at this finger bone.

He thought about it, checked it, and found that there was nothing abnormal about the phalanges.

After putting it away, Zhou An raised his feet and walked towards the Zhen Wei Division.

……

At this time, the Town Trick Division was busy, and there were many members of the Town Trick Division back and forth.

When Zhou An arrived, he immediately found that today's Zhenwei Division was much busier than before.

There were even quite a few members who didn't even notice that he had come.

Fortunately, some members had bright eyes, and immediately spotted Zhou An and walked up suspiciously.

"Lord Zhou, are you looking for Lord Yan again?"

Zhou An nodded: "I encountered something, so I came over to ask, is it still the old room?" ”

The member of the Town Trick Division nodded: "Lord Zhou, we are a little busy now, you can just go up by yourself, and Lord Yan is in his room." ”

Zhou An didn't let the members of the Town Trick Division lead the way, and he followed the stairs to the second floor.

Just then, I saw that in the room with the door wide open, Yan Sifu was talking to a few members of the Town Secret Division.

In addition to the members of the Suppression Division, there was also a young Taoist priest standing there.

As if sensing Zhou An's gaze, Yan Sifu subconsciously raised his head and happened to see Zhou An.

"Brother Zhou, you're here, have you encountered something?" Yan Sifu seemed to have expected it a long time ago.

Zhou An didn't have ink, so he walked over directly and told him what happened tonight.

When he said this, everyone looked at each other with expressions that were indeed so.

This expression was seen by Zhou An.

"What do you mean by that?"

The young Taoist priest Deng Song hurriedly explained: "Lord Zhou, we have just determined that this time the weirdness seems to be a weird gathering, this weird gathering is different from other weird, and it happened to appear in our Tingyun Mansion. ”

"As long as the people in the line are glued, it is difficult to get rid of them."

Trick rally?

The first time Zhou An heard this thing, just like the so-called weirdness he learned not long ago, it was actually very wide-oriented.

A flower, a grass, a tree, or a tree can all become weird.

As long as the resentment is enough, even like the previous Yuejiang, it is possible to turn into weird.

But now I hear a new term.

Zhou An thought back and forth for a while, and asked, "You just said about people in the line, but you didn't talk about ordinary people, why?" ”

After he asked this, before Deng Song could explain, Yan Sifu opened his mouth to explain first.

"The so-called strange gathering is a very special weirdness, which not only hides danger, but also has a great opportunity, this weirdness is evolved from the assembly, and each place is different, as long as there is a strange gathering, it will attract a lot of people in the line."

"Danger, I understand, but what's the matter with this chance?" Zhou An asked.

It's weird, it's all dangerous, and this thing has already been decided.

But how did this thing come about?

He couldn't figure it out.

Yan Sifu explained: "The so-called chance, in fact, lies in the weirdness in the trick assembly, all of which are made by people in the line, and the goods sold in it are all strange, if they sell some pills and herbs and the like, those are all fake, but if they sell exercises, they can be written down in it and brought out, which is the real thing." ”

When Zhou An heard this, he already roughly understood that this thing was like watching a movie.

You can't bring food out of the movie, but if there is something text-type in the movie, you can write it down.

Seeing that Zhou An seemed to understand, Yan Sifu continued: "Before Lord Zhou came, these subordinates and Daochang Deng had already encountered the strangeness of the Trick Gathering, as long as they had an intersection with this Trick Gathering, they would all be targeted by the Trick Gathering, and if they killed the Weird, they would have the qualifications to enter the Trick Gathering, and this thing was the qualification." ”

Master Yan took out two phalanges.

Zhou An touched his chin and took out one as well.

This is left by killing Wei Wei just now, and he has also seen it, there is nothing abnormal, it is just a very ordinary finger bone.

"If I don't go in, the weird will keep coming in?" Zhou An asked.

Yan Sifu shook his head: "I won't look for it again, because the trick gathering will be opened, and those who have the qualifications will automatically enter, that girl this morning, it should be just a coincidence, after all, the trick meeting is aimed at the people in the line, and once it starts, the people in the nearby line will be attracted over." ”

This thing is profitable, and it is very likely that a lot of exercises will be found, which is a great opportunity for people in the practice.

Zhou An thought for a while and said, "Won't you block the news and not let everyone in the line come over?" ”

If you block messages, you can reduce the number of people in the row, and there will be less confusion.

After all, there are many people, and the complexity increases when there are many people.

Yan Sifu smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhou, do you think we can't think of it? But there is no way, after the trick will appear, the people in the nearby line will have a sense, and this sense will spread like an epidemic, and it will not be able to be stopped at that time. ”

"For this reason, not only the Great Chu State, but even other countries have regulations, after the trickster will appear, everyone can go in, each according to their ability, each by chance, of course, after entering, life and death will be decided by themselves."

Zhou An raised his eyebrows.

If that's the case, there's really no way.

He felt like a secret place with this thing, although there were dangers, but he could obtain the exercises that people in the line needed most.

Yan Sifu changed the subject: "By the way, Brother Zhou should be careful recently, before the trickery gathering starts, all kinds of strange things may happen in our Tingyun Mansion." ”

"These strange things are still very random, almost no duplicates, Brother Zhou, you have to be careful, especially if you are contaminated with tricks, it is easy to come across."

Zhou An nodded, indicating that he already understood.

Next, he didn't stay in the town of Tricksters, thinking about going back first.

Anyway, it's useless to keep it here, just know what it is.

Unexpectedly, before he could take two steps, he seemed to sense something.

Zhou An turned his head and looked at Deng Song.

Deng Song suddenly spat blood from his mouth and pointed at Zhou An, his face full of shock.

"You...... No phase! ”
