Shouwang raised his own question: "Auntie, when Uncle Wu died, didn't you and Wu Bai have anything unusual?"

Mrs. Wu shook her head: "Old Wu's illness came urgently, and Bai'er and I only cared about taking care of him at that time, and we didn't have time to take care of ourselves at all. It wasn't until I had dealt with his aftermath that I had time to think about it. In fact, I also thought that Lao Wu was victimized, but I couldn't think of a way to harm him. And why is it that he alone has an accident, and I have lived here with him for so long, and nothing has happened? As he spoke, tears flowed down again.

Wu Bai hurriedly comforted his mother and said, "Mother, my father's death has not yet been investigated, you must not be overly sad and damage your health! Otherwise, how can your son be worthy of his deceased father!"

Mrs. Wu nodded tremblingly, wiped away her tears, and whispered: "City Lord, you have great powers, there must be a way to find out the cause of Lao Wu's death, all this, please leave it to you!"

He Lianjun hurriedly helped her up and said, "Brother and sister, don't worry, Lao Wu's death, I will definitely find out and give you and Bai'er an explanation!"

In fact, he had some ideas in his heart, but there were still some things he couldn't figure out, and he had to look around. He asked, "Brother and sister, I don't know what was wrong with Lao Wu before he died?"

Mrs. Wu said: "Old Wu was not unusual in the first few days of his life. It's just that he received a seed of spirit grass before, saying that after planting, it can bear fruit that people don't have to eat for half a month. Although Lao Wu was skeptical, he still planted it in the flower garden experimentally. I also once wondered if there was anything strange about that kind of seed, and I went to investigate it myself, but that kind of seed has not yet sprouted, and it is impossible to pose any threat to Lao Wu at all!"

Helian Jun frowned, although he was not good at refining spirit pills, he had seen a lot of the types of spirit grass, and he had never heard of a fruit that could produce the effect of the primary Bigu Pill. He shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm lonely and unheard, I really haven't heard of such a spiritual grass in the cultivation world. ”

Hao Zhicheng hurriedly asked, "City Lord, is there a problem with that kind of seed?" The seeds of this spirit grass were obtained by him from a merchant, and he didn't like to play with flowers and plants, so Wu Qi was interested, so he transferred it to Wu Qi. If there is really anything wrong with this kind of child, his action can be regarded as harming Wu Qi.

Wu Bai said: "City Lord, Uncle Hao, otherwise let's go and have a look." That kind of seed is in the flower garden next to this bamboo forest, not far away. ”

They came to the flower garden, the flowers and plants here are growing well, and it can be seen that Mrs. Wu and Wu Bai have not neglected to take care of this place because of Wu Qi's death. Walking to the corner, Wu Bai pointed to a small open space and said, "Look, this is where my father planted that spirit grass. In the past few years, I have often come here to irrigate, but this spirit grass has never germinated, and I want to dig it out to see what is going on, but my mother does not allow it. ”

Mrs. Wu said: "Old Wu was the most precious flower and plant in his lifetime, and he watered and fertilized them personally, I don't want to waste his hard work." And this kind of thing may have something to do with Lao Wu's death, and I don't dare to let Bai'er easily touch it. ”

Helian Jun nodded, and his spiritual sense scanned the ground to observe the seeds inside. This kind of seed grows ordinarily, there is nothing special about it, unlike the spirit grass seeds he has seen, there is no aura at all. It's just that on top of this seed, there is an obscure aura, not something weird, but it has a similar feeling to the magic weapon.

Helian Jun wasn't sure what this kind of thing was, so he turned his head and said, "It seems that you still have to take this kind of thing out." Zhicheng, you take your younger siblings farther away, in case there is anything strange about this kind of child, I don't know if I can protect you. ”

When Hao Zhicheng and the three of them walked away, Shouwang looked at Helianjun and said, "Dad, is there really anything wrong with this kind of child?"

Helian Jun shook his head: "I can't be sure for a while, I still have to take it out and take a look." You are on the sidelines, and if something happens, act in time!"

He carried a trace of spiritual power, wrapped the seed, and took it out of the soil. Just taken out, this kind of seed is like discovering some new continent, and the obscure aura on it is about to escape out. Helian Jun sneered, and the spiritual power on his body suddenly became fierce, wrapping the seed on top of each other, preventing its breath from emanating out. But to his surprise, this kind of aura is very stubborn, even with his cultivation in the Jindan period, it is difficult to completely imprison the wildness of this aura for a while.

After a stalemate for a while, Helian Jun pinched out a few magic seals in his hand, and simply drew a small suppressive formation on the seeds, which could be regarded as completely imprisoning the aura of this seed.

Shouwang said strangely on the side: "Dad, this kind of son is really weird, but it doesn't seem to have any malice, and he doesn't have the ability to cause harm to Uncle Wu!"

Helian Jun nodded, although the aura of the seed was strange and abnormal, and it was difficult for ordinary Jindan early stage monks to deal with, but this aura was just thinking about escaping, and it didn't deal with him head-on at all, and there was no means of attack, so it was difficult for people to believe that this seed was the culprit who caused Wu Ke's death.

When Helian Jun completely stopped moving, Hao Zhicheng and the three of them not far away came over and said, "City Lord, what's going on?"

Helian Jun shook his head calmly: "It's still a little weird, there is a weird aura on it, even if it is my current cultivation, it took a lot of effort to suppress it." It's just that although this breath is weird, there is no way to cause injury or death to people, and it should not be the culprit of Lao Wu's death. ”

Madam Wu nodded in disappointment, and she said, "The city lord is bothered. Hey, what happened to Lao Wu's death?"

He Lianjun comforted: "Brother and sister don't need to be like this, Lao Wu's death is strange, then there will inevitably be clues, let's just look for it slowly." ”

Since Mrs. Wu has been waiting for a few years, she doesn't care about waiting a few more days, and just wanted to invite Helianjun and his son to go back to Hao Zhicheng's small building to continue to rest for a while, she found that Helianjun's face changed, and said, "Brother and sister, when Old Wu died, was he choking in his sleep?"

Mrs. Wu nodded strangely: "Exactly, in the last period of time, he was completely unconscious, and he didn't leave a word, so he died." After saying that, his eyes moistened again.

Wu Bai hurriedly asked, "Uncle Helian, do you already know the cause of my father's death?"

Helian Jun said with a cold face: "Indeed, there are a little eyebrows. Still have to go there. ”

Hao Zhicheng was puzzled: "Where is the city lord, is there any clue that I haven't found?"

Helian Jun replied: "You are not monks, and you have no spiritual sense, so you cannot find the traces left by some monks. Even if you are a little monk in the Qi cultivation period, if you don't want you to find his traces, you can't catch him with the naked eye. ”

After speaking, he led the group to the place where he had accidentally discovered the remnants of the aura just now. This is a courtyard in Gu's house, although it has been renovated, but the original appearance can be seen in general, it is the small courtyard where Gu Weirui lived at the beginning.

He Lianjun walked under the eaves, looked up at the plaque at the door, reached out and took off the plaque with spiritual power, and turned the plaque over. Hao Zhicheng and others also came over to watch, but after observing for a long time, they didn't find anything strange behind the plaque.

The watchman also looked intently, but he made some discoveries, and said: "Dad, is there actually a spiritual power mark behind this plaque?" The spiritual power mark, as the name suggests, is the mark left on the object by the monk with his own spiritual power, usually speaking, it does not have a particularly big effect, that is, it is just a beacon. However, Helian Jun and Shouwang are people who have fought against the insect demons of the Lingyin Tower, so they naturally know that if this mark is in the hands of someone who can control the Gu worms, the effect is naturally very great - this spiritual power mark can allow the Gu worms in the hands of the monk to find a position on their own without being distracted.

It's just that this mark is not particularly obvious, but it seems to be under the guidance of a person who has just entered the cultivation, if it weren't for Helian Jun's spiritual consciousness reaching the Jindan stage, he might not be able to find such a small sign.

Helian Jun pondered for a moment: "This mark is not very powerful, not as clear as the mark cast by the insect demon of the Lingyin Building that we have encountered. It's just that since this mark exists here, it must have some effect, that is, I don't know what it is to guide the position and direction. ”

After saying that, Helian Jun expanded the scope of his spiritual sense and searched for strange places. After about a few dozen breaths, in a gap in the wall of Gu's house, Helianjun made a discovery. The spiritual sense was connected with a trace of spiritual power, and it retrieved the strange little thing from a few hundred meters away.

When everyone looked at it, what was lying in Helianjun's hand was actually an insect cocoon, with a gray and black appearance, and there was no pattern on it, but the gray abrupt and ordinary insect cocoon looked almost the same. It's just that in the eyes of Helian Jun and Shouwang, this insect cocoon is clearly formed by the molting of the insect of someone's envoy, and it can be seen from the residual shallow monk's breath that this monk's cultivation is just the late stage of Qi cultivation.

The watchman said, "Dad, what kind of worm do you think this cocoon is left by?"

Helian Jun hesitated for a moment: "This, I don't know much about these, but looking at this head, it's not as big as an ordinary person's little finger nail, and it doesn't look like some kind of vicious bug." Anyway, it's better to ask someone who is familiar with the situation than to speculate here. The person he said was familiar with the situation was one of the two people in the Internal Affairs Hall who had no sense of existence - Li Weihui. This Li Weihui is also like most of the monks in the Sanqing Palace, they are all from scattered cultivation, so when the cultivation is not high, if you want to survive, you must have one or two housekeeping skills, otherwise it will be difficult to get the resources for cultivation at all. And Li Weihui's ability is somewhat on this erudition. Li Weihui likes to read some cold classics, and in terms of erudition, he can be regarded as the first person in the Sanqing Palace.

They settled Mrs. Wu and continued to stay at the Gu Mansion to rest, and Wu Bai followed Helianjun and them back to the City Lord's Mansion. Shen Da and the others were still following Hao Tong to discuss the matter of recruiting disciples, Helian Jun didn't care about this matter, but whispered to Li Weihui, who was drinking tea on the side in a daze: "Elder Li, I have something to ask you, can you come out and talk about it." ”

Li Weihui was stunned, he didn't notice that Helianjun went out with Shouwang and Hao Zhicheng just now, and he was still wondering why Helianjun ran outside. His mind was not complicated, and it could even be described simply, so he didn't even have time to ask questions, so he walked out and asked, "Elder Helian, what is the matter with calling me out?"

Helian Jun also knew his temperament, so he didn't have to be polite, he directly took out the gray insect cocoon, and asked, "Elder Li, do you know this thing?"

Li Weihui reached out and took the insect cocoon that He Lianjun was holding, looked at it over and over for a while, and said firmly: "Looking at this size, it doesn't look like a refined Gu worm, but like a small insect that has been simply cultivated." However, the residual breath on the cocoon reminded me that it was somewhat similar to the insect of the insect demon envoy. It's just a lot weaker. It's just the kind of bug ......"

Seeing that he hesitated, Helian Jun asked, "What about the kind?" Elder Li doesn't have to worry about it, just say it. ”

Li Weihui's face was a little strange and said: "This kind of thing looks similar to the insects recorded in a miscellaneous note I read before. The insect is called Cryptoptera, and the larvae have two pairs of wings on its body, which can cross thousands of miles without stopping, but at the stage of becoming an adult, the wings of this insect will fall, so it is named Cryptoptera. ”

Helian Jun asked again, "Then what is so special about this cryptoptera?"

Li Weihui chuckled: "If you want to say that this is special, it is also interesting. This cryptoptera is extremely poisonous, but the larvae have no stingers, only adults have stingers, ordinary people contaminated with a little venom of this cryptoptera, a short coma for a few days will die. It's just that most of these cryptoptera are only distributed in the dense forests of various parts of Kyushu, and it is rare for us to see them in our overseas cultivation circles. Where did Elder Helian find this cryptopterus? It stands to reason that this cryptoptera doesn't like to live in densely populated places, and the dense forest is where it lives!"

Helian Jun's face was slightly gloomy: "Don't hide it from Elder Li, this cryptoptera insect was found by me in an old mansion. And one of my subordinates probably died because of the poison of this cryptoptera!"

He was a little angry and a little puzzled in his heart, who wanted to drive such a poisonous insect to kill Wu Ke? And it seems that the cause of Wu Ke's death was premeditated by someone for a long time, and judging from the flight distance of this cryptoptera alone, there may be a place within a radius of thousands of miles where the murderer put down the cryptopterodact.
