Chapter Twenty-Six: The Change of the Demon Guard
After chatting with the medicine boy, Zhang Yifan finally knew what happened.
The day after Zhang Yifan fainted, Hu Erhu didn't see Zhang Yifan come to Wuhou Shop on an errand for a day, and felt very strange, because Zhang Yifan had never been absent from work for a day.
He asked the people, but they couldn't tell me. Lao Ma said that he had vaguely heard Zhang Yifan mention that he lived in a house on Siyuan Street, so Hu Erhu asked Lao Ma to check the situation.
When Lao Ma found the mansion according to what Zhang Yifan said before, and entered the mansion, Lao Ma found that Zhang Yifan was fainting in the yard, his face was pale and obviously due to excessive blood loss.
Lao Ma was taken aback and immediately sent Zhang Yifan to the Jishi Medical Center, and then informed Hu Erhu, Li Qing and others of the matter. During this period, Li Qing and others came to see Zhang Yifan and instructed the doctor in the hospital to treat him.
Hearing that he had been in a coma for seven days, Zhang Yifan smiled bitterly. It seems that this time it is really a big loss, not only is the mana lost, but in the end, it seems that there has been a change in the demon master, I don't know if it's good or bad.
He searched around but didn't find any trace of Fu Demon Gong, and asked the medicine boy vaguely if he had seen something the size of a palm, and the medicine boy didn't know, saying that he didn't see such a thing.
"It seems that I have to ask Uncle Ma and the house that I rented back to find it, Fu Mo Gong is very important to me, and I can't afford to lose it. Zhang Yifan pondered in his heart.
He currently has lost all his mana, and it will take at least six months to recover his previous mana according to his estimates, and this is because he has mastered the cultivation of the previous layers.
Of course, the premise is that there will be no more strange phenomena of losing mana before, otherwise he will return to the embarrassing situation of having no internal strength before, and his martial arts will drop dramatically. Then his plans need to be adjusted.
Due to excessive blood loss, Zhang Yifan is still very weak and cannot leave the hospital. At the doctor's request, he rested in the hospital for two more days. After a few doses of tonics, Zhang Yifan's face finally recovered a little bit of qi and blood.
After he returned to Wuhoupu, he first went to the third team to report to Hu Erhu. Hu Erhu and others were very happy to see Zhang Yifan return from illness, and asked the reason, Zhang Yifan was inconvenient to say the original details, but said ambiguously because of the practice.
Hu Erhu saw that Zhang Yifan didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask in detail, and told him not to be on an errand for now, and to recuperate for a few days before coming back, which made Zhang Yifan's heart warm.
Zhang Yifan solemnly thanked Lao Ma and thanked him for saving his life, Lao Ma waved his hand, and also asked Zhang Yifan to pay attention to moderation in practice, and bluntly said that it would be okay to invite him to eat a few days early, Zhang Yifan smiled and said that it was no problem to eat for a month.
Then Zhang Yifan asked Lao Ma if he had seen a wedge-like ornament at that time, and Lao Ma asked about its characteristics in detail, saying that he didn't pay much attention to the emergency situation at that time, and maybe he was still in his house, Zhang Yifan nodded after listening.
Zhang Yifan decided to take two days off first, and after saying hello to Li Qing, he went out of Wuhou Shop.
After returning to his mansion on Siyuan Street, Zhang Yifan impatiently searched the inside and outside of the mansion, but found no trace of Fu Mo. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and his heart was empty.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Yifan decided that the first thing at present is to restore his strength first, since he can't find the Fu Demon Hammer, he has to go to the most famous blacksmith shop in Dujiang City to make a Xuantie Heavy Hammer, just before Li Qing rewarded himself with more than half of the silver in addition to this medical expenses, it should be enough to make an ordinary ten-year Xuantie Heavy Hammer.
Now he was most worried about whether he would be able to return from his mana.
At this time, it was already night, and Zhang Yifan decided to start cultivating the Fire Flame Technique after bathing.
Just when he took off his clothes, he suddenly found that there was a pale golden mark on his chest, and he was very familiar with his own demon fighting weapon when he looked closely, like gold and jade. The whole imprint seemed to be embedded in his chest, Zhang Yifan didn't feel any special feeling when he touched the imprint, maybe it was a psychological effect, he felt that the skin here was harder.
Zhang Yifan was very curious about why the Fu Mo Gong had changed so much, and he was sure that this was the Fu Mo Gong that had always accompanied him.
Now he's figuring out how to summon the Demon Suppressor.
Whether it is silent recitation, stroking, or even tapping, Zhang Yifan has exhausted all means, but the mark on his chest has not changed in the slightest. He had no choice but to give up for the time being and find a way later.
Bathing and changing clothes, sitting upright, Zhang Yifan began to run the fire and flame technique. When I started cultivating, I still ran for eighteen weeks as always. After cultivating, he did not choose to continue to practice the Flying Heaven Gong, but to sleep and rest first, after all, the qi and blood have not fully recovered yet, and the Flying Heaven Gong is mainly driven by the body method, and it is too much.
When he arrived the next day, Zhang Yifan found that the mana he had cultivated last night had not disappeared, which made him ecstatic, and the thing he was most worried about in his heart fortunately did not happen.
In this way, Zhang Yifan resumed his old routine, patrolling the streets during the day and meditating and practicing martial arts at night.
I don't know if it's because of the loss of mana before, Zhang Yifan is very satisfied with the current cultivation of the Fire Flame Technique, and the mana is increasing rapidly every day. Moreover, in the process of recultivating mana, he felt more delicate in the use of whirlwind nine fights, and mastered two more dozen, and now he has mastered more than half of the moves.
In addition, Feitian Gong may be because Zhang Yifan does not have mana at present, he can only rely on his own strength, but his body is more sophisticated, according to his estimate, in less than three months, the first layer of his Feitian Gong should be able to be completed, and his strength should be further at that time.
......
This year's winter in Dujiang City is particularly cold, and the heavy snowfall that was rare in previous years will fall at every turn this year, and the whole capital is white and vast, and the scenery is also chic and moving.
The winter on Feihe Mountain is also a pleasant scenery, the bamboo sea and snow press the branches, and a touch of green leaves brightens people's eyes.
It's a pity that the headcatchers in the Flying Crane Tower at this time have no intention of enjoying the scenery, and are all listening attentively to the speech of an old man sitting on a turtle-like chair.
"According to secret reports, in the past month, there have been cases of missing people in many places in Sanyuan District, and according to statistics, there are more than 30 people. Guys, what do you think?"
"Lord God Catch, there are many strange things about this matter, some time ago, a lowly person secretly sent news, pointing out that there is a new force in Sanyuan District, specializing in the population to buy slaves and prostitutes. The subordinates inquired according to the clues provided, but did not get useful information, and the subordinate disappeared. The subordinates suspect that this is an evil group that specializes in selling out the population. A middle-aged head catcher stood up and said.
"Old man, who are these missing people?" Li Qing asked the old man with a grin.
The old man glanced at Li Qing, "Most of them are strangers or orphans." ”
"Master, is it possible that the Crocodile Gang did it, after all, the Sanyuan District is the sphere of influence of the Crocodile Gang, and it should be very simple for them to do it. Wu Tianhong intentionally or unintentionally pointed at the Crocodile Gang.
"Without this possibility, Yuan Gang couldn't have been so brainless and did such an unwise thing. The secret report also confirmed that it was not the Crocodiles. The old man glanced at Wu Tianhong meaningfully and said lightly.
Everyone began to whisper again, some said that the local gang did it, and some said that it was definitely done by the foreign gang, but there was no conclusion.
"Alright, silence. Lord Shi attaches great importance to this matter. We must find out what is going on, but we must not startle the snake, lest the enemy jump under the wall and kill people. Liu Hongfei, your people are loose on the outside and tight on the inside, monitor all suspicious people, but don't collect evidence first. ”
"Yes, Lord Godcatcher. The middle-aged arrester, who suspected that the missing people had been bought, replied quickly.
"Wu Tianhong, Li Da, you have transferred some good men from Wuhou Shop under Shangyuan District and Jiayuan District respectively, and led by Shi Lei, who has just been transferred, will go deep into Sanyuan District to conduct secret investigations. ”
"Order!" the three of them replied, standing up.
"This case is codenamed 'Toad', this case needs to be closed before Chinese New Year's Eve, all hostages must be rescued, and no criminal can escape. Shi Shan, I will send someone to hand over the relevant case files and dark information to you. ”
At this time, it was already winter, and it was only a little more than a month before Chinese New Year's Eve, Shi Lei couldn't help but feel a little stressed, but he had just arrived, although he was a fierce catcher, but he needed merit to prove himself, so he could only force his head.
"Lord Wu, Lord Li, please also choose five capable officials to assist the lower officials, the age needs to be younger, the brain needs to be flexible, and the higher the martial arts skills, the better. ”
The young man does not have the unique aura of the old fast, and he is not easy to be suspected, and his flexible brain and strong martial arts skills can improve the probability of success of the mission, so Shi Shan did not politely ask Wu Tianhong and Li Da.
Wu and Li looked at each other and smiled bitterly, this kid really knows how to mention it, but there is no way that the divine capture has already given an order, so the two of them have to try their best to meet Shi Lei's request.
The 'Toad' operation was quickly launched, because Zhang Yifan had performed prominently in the case of urging scholars before, not only was he young and intelligent, but also had strong martial arts, so it was not surprising that he appeared in the list of five people selected by Wu Tianhong, although his experience in catching fast in Six Doors was less than half a year.
......
Three days later, in a secret room in Feihe Mountain, Shi Lei was observing the ten catchers in front of him at this time, he was more satisfied with the catchers that Wu and Li had chosen for him, and the slightly unsatisfactory thing was that one of them was too young! If it weren't for the fact that he heard that the scholar was caught by this kid, Shi Lei probably wouldn't want him.
This time, the fast catchers drawn from the two districts are all elites, and most of the positions are assistant catchers and Zhengyin catchers, and there is even an assistant catcher. The ten people are all under the age of twenty-five, but only Zhang Yifan and another catcher from Shangyuan District are not eighteen years old, the catcher is named Liang Xing, seventeen years old, Zhengyin catches fast, it is said that although the martial arts are average, the detective level is comparable to the first-class master in the six doors.
After introducing each other to each other, Shi Lei began to tell everyone about the Toad's action arrangement.
All ten men were assigned code names and divided into five groups to carry out the operation. Zhang Yifan happened to be in a group with Liang Xing, and Shi Lei asked them to disguise themselves as beggars, responsible for investigating news near Longze Wharf in Sanyuan District, codenamed Tuchan No. 1 and No. 2. Although Zhang and Liang said that this code name was too earthy, they had to accept it at Shi Lei's insistence.
Dujiang City has been snowing recently, Zhang Yifan, who is dressed as a beggar, does not feel cold under the blessing of Huo Yanjue, and Liang Xing on the side is obviously not weak, just like no one.
Of course, for the sake of realism, they wore tattered clothes, held two worn-out begging bowls, and their hair was disheveled, full of rancid smell, and they shivered with cold, as if they were really two beggars.
