Returning to the inn, he asked Sun Xiaoman some medical questions, and Ying Wuxin and Li Zhengdao set off again in the evening, preparing to go to Zhang's mansion to investigate.

Sun Xiaoman obviously knew about the two of them eating and drinking, but this time he was a little unusually and did not object, but instead cast a joyful smile at Ying Wuxin, which made Ying Wuxin confused for a long time, and he didn't understand what this woman thought and what she wanted to express.

Ying Wuxin and Li Zhengdao came to the back of Zhang's mansion, before dark, they couldn't enter Zhang's mansion to investigate, because the patrol of the White Tigers had not yet ended, and in the case of entanglement with Zhao Jin, both of them needed to try to avoid being caught by the White Tigers.

Standing in the alley behind the house, Ying Wuxin's ears moved, and all the sounds around him were accepted, including the sound of women shouting for children, the shouting of vendors, the neighing of horses, the rumbling of wheels, the sound of stir-frying, the sound of hitting water, the sound of chopping vegetables, etc., all kinds of chaotic sounds poured into his ears together.

Ying Wuxin's brain swelled for a while, and his head tingled faintly, but he was used to these situations, and the natural energy flow at the moment blocked out some irrelevant sounds, and only accepted one range of sounds, that is, the backyard in Zhang's mansion.

"Hurry up and get out of the way, get out of the way, don't you see that there is going to be someone here?"

"It's so heavy, I move stones into the kitchen every day, what is this picture of our master!"

"Don't talk nonsense, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, finish your work and leave. ”

"Okay—"

"Bang-"

There was a dull sound, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, the footsteps of the two men leaving, the kitchen fell silent, and a moment later someone came in.

Dangdangdang.

There was a sound of metal crashing, and a dull grinding sound, sounding like a steel drill into the stone.

Stonemasons often do this kind of work, but the sound coming from the kitchen is much stranger.

Click.

The sound of the stone shattering, followed by a clatter, the sound of a large stream of water spreading, and then the sound of fluttering edges, as if some living creature was churning violently.

Syllable.

There was a clapping sound, the fluttering sound was gone, and the kitchen was quiet again.

Not long after, a group of footsteps sounded, and they all entered the kitchen.

"It's almost time for dinner, everyone is working hard, don't delay the master's meal. A man's voice shouted.

Everyone agreed, and they got busy, washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, lighting the fire, and the sound of stir-frying quickly sounded.

Ying Wuxin continued to listen, but since then, no unusual sounds have been heard.

The sun sets, the spring and March season, there is still some spring cold, at night, with a little chill wind blowing through the high-rise buildings of the county, in the edge set off a burst of whirring.

When it got dark, Ying Wuxin stood in the alley, ended his listening technique, and told Li Zhengdao about the abnormality he heard.

"It's not the first time I've transported stones into the kitchen, and it seems that the weirdness must be in the stones. Li Zhengdao's face was solemn, and his eyes flashed slightly.

"Just check it out. Ying Wuxin looked at the high wall of the house in front of him, his eyes were bright and shining with excitement.

After cultivating for nearly a year, I began to track down the evil spirit again, and I felt that the scorching flame in the blood in my body burned again.

Li Zhengdao was also a little excited, and a momentum poured out of his body, expanding a powerful aura.

When it was dark, the two crossed the high wall and entered the backyard of Zhang's mansion, identified the location, and Ying Wuxin took Li Zhengdao into the courtyard where the kitchen was located.

Before entering the courtyard, both of them stopped, sniffed their noses lightly, and said in unison: "It's so fragrant!"

A mellow fragrance permeated the air, and just smelling it made people have an appetite, and their saliva immediately increased.

Neither of them had eaten dinner, and at this moment, they were teased by this fragrance, and their stomachs were slightly restless, and there were bursts of hunger, as if they had not eaten for many days.

"There's a weird smell about it. However, both of them are Taoist heroes, and the natural energy flow in their bodies quickly suppressed the abnormality in their stomachs, but they still swallowed a large mouthful of saliva.

Covering their noses, the two approached the kitchen in front of them, there were still two people busy inside, and after looking at the terrain, they should not inadvertently point to the house next to them, Li Zhengdao nodded in understanding, and the two of them jumped up together.

Leaning on the roof, just in time to see a lot of things inside through the kitchen door, Ying searched indifferently, and after a while, at the pool in the corner, he found a pile of scattered stones.

The stones were in a crumbling state, but strangely enough, some of the stones had obvious depressions on the top, and there was a layer of black-looking things on the surface, like some kind of slime.

Not all stones have them, but eighty percent of them have such depressions.

Closing his eyes, Ying Wuxin began to splice the gravel he saw in his mind, and after a while, he opened his eyes, and said with bright eyes: "Those stones were spliced together, and it was originally a big stone, and the inside was hollow. ”

"Hollow?"

Li Zhengdao was a little surprised, he hadn't thought of what those depressions were.

"Yes, hollow, combined with the sound I heard before, there is the sound of hitting the stone with a steel drill, the sound of the water flowing, now I can basically judge that there is a hollow area in the middle of the stone, there is a lot of water in it, and in the water, there may be a fish. Ying Wuxin nodded, recalling the voice as he said.

Li Zhengdao said with a little surprise on his face: "There is water in the stones, and there are fish in the water?"

"Yes, and when this stone is intact, from the outside, there should be no abnormality, otherwise the two servants who carry the stone will definitely talk about something, but they only know that they are moving the stone, and the rest is not clear, which means that the stone looks like a stone from the outside, and the person who moves the stone at least does not know that there is something strange in this stone. ”

"Then this is the legendary 'fish in the stone'?"

Ying Wuxin nodded, "It seems to be it, I just heard about it before, but I didn't expect that there really are still in this world, but since there can be such a big butterfly in Butterfly Town, it doesn't seem to be a particularly unusual thing that there are fish in the stones here." ”

"Is Master Zhang's body abnormal because of the fish in the stone? The abnormal fragrance we smelled just now seems to be the smell of sweet and sour fish, does this fish in the stone really have a magical effect?" Li Zhengdao's face was solemn, and he was a little puzzled in his solemnity.

"Go check it out. ”

The two of them left the courtyard of the kitchen together, and flew towards the source of the fragrance, in a separate courtyard, the door of a room was open, and there was a light shining inside, and Master Zhang was eating there alone, looking like a starving ghost.

Ying Wuxin's face was different, this old man Zhang's current state, it looked wrong, he had eaten a lot of food in the restaurant at noon, and now it was only evening, only two hours, and he would definitely not be hungry like this.

But Master Zhang is just like that, although it looks like he is extremely hungry, but other than that, there are no other abnormalities, people are still normal people, and the speed of eating is not very human.

Hiding in the shadows of a house, Li Zhengdao pointed to the inside of the room and said, "Look, that plate looks like it contains fish, it seems that it has been eaten up, and there are no bones left." ”

This is a little abnormal, ordinary people eat fish, unless the kind of fried small fish, otherwise the larger fish will leave fish bones and fish bones, in front of this master, the plate containing the fish is almost a foot long, and there must be at least a fish more than three inches long in it.

With such a volume of fish, I have eaten all the fish bones and bones, and there is nothing left, which is obviously wrong.

Ying Wuxin thought for a moment, and said softly: "Maybe Master Zhang is eating like this now, because he ate the fish first, and this fish is abnormal, Master Zhang himself obviously knows, and he didn't let other people come over to eat together, which is the best proof." ”

"And when this fish was delivered, the people outside only knew that it was a stone, but they didn't know that there was a fish in it, which means that it may be that Master Zhang wanted to keep it a secret on purpose. ”

"Then let's go separately, one side will follow the clues of the stone, and the other side will find out what is the physical condition of Master Zhang?" Li Zhengdao proposed.

"No need, this old man Zhang's appearance at least looks normal, even if he checks, there will be no abnormality, most of the time it is the same as the situation of Aunt Jiu, and there will be nothing to be found after inspection, I think it is more reliable to explore the source of the stone." Ying Wuxin shook his head lightly.

Li Zhengdao thought for a while, nodded and said, "It makes sense, then let's go check the stones." ”

The two quietly left, and returned to the courtyard where the kitchen was, and in the dark corner, there was a crisp crashing sound, as if something was being smashed.

When the two of them got closer, they found that it was a person wielding a sledgehammer to smash the stones on the ground, and in the middle of those stones, most of them were dented, and there was a layer of black things, which was the stone that had been used to hold the fish.

"This is to destroy all traces, it seems that Master Zhang is still cautious enough. ”

Both of them were a little sorry, and originally wanted to carefully examine the stone, but now it seems that there is no chance, because since the other party wants to destroy the stone, there must be nothing left.

"Let's go, go find the servant who has brought the stones, maybe you can find out?" Ying Wuxin beckoned.

Listening to the wind technique, he searched in the courtyard, and after a while, Ying Wuxin's eyes lit up and said: "Good news, those two servants are having dinner, and then they will take the car back, and it is said that they will rush back to Master Zhang's quarry outside the city, which I estimate is the source of the fish in the stone." ”

Li Zhengdao asked, "It's very rare for this fish in the stone to generally meet one, the situation in Master Zhang's house, it has been a few days, so he eats every day, how much to eat, it is estimated that there are hundreds, the fish in the stone is so rare, how can there be so many for him to eat, I think, there may be evil behind it." ”

"Brother Dao, you are now a Dao Sect, even if you are a little evil, do you still need to be afraid?"

Li Zhengdao proudly puffed up his chest and said confidently: "Naturally, I don't need to, but I still have to take my junior sisters with me, maybe there will be a harvest." ”

"Understood. Ying Wuxin smiled and nodded, this Li Zhengdao planned to let the two junior sisters also participate, so that as long as the evil was eliminated, they could more or less obtain a part of the natural energy and Dao source, which would be of great benefit to cultivation.
