Chapter 325: Visiting the Guogong Mansion
Although Wangcheng refers to the capital of Dongyue Kingdom, everyone in the capital knows that the Wangcheng here actually refers to the central city surrounded by the inner city, and it is surrounded by four urban districts: southeast, northwest, and northwest.
This royal city in the center covers an extremely wide area, the inner city wall of the royal city is more than ten miles long and wide, and there are many buildings in it, not only the residence of the king today, but also some palace institutions such as the criminal department, the ritual department, and the official department, and even the heavenly prison are in this royal city.
Among the four districts around the royal city, the eastern city is where some princes and nobles live and the important ministers of the court, the southern city is more commercial, and the west and north districts are mostly commoners.
Lei Luo took Wenxiu's little girl and walked for a long time before he walked out of Nancheng District and walked to the border of this southeast urban area.
After walking so many roads, he had to praise that this capital is really big, and along the way, the residents in this capital are afraid that there are more than a million, close to 10 million.
And the purpose of their trip was to find the Five Elements Sword Sect to arrange a response, and the destination was the Guogong Mansion of the current dynasty.
The five sects of the Dongyue Kingdom all have a state palace in the capital, which can be regarded as the official position of supervising the royal city in place of the five sects, and these state princes are all people arranged within the five sects.
In this way, after walking for another half a day, they finally came to the gate of a rather magnificent mansion, with a half-zhang high white jade lion on each side of the gate, and a plaque at the door that reads 'Wenguo Mansion'.
"It is said that this Duke Wen is a member of Fairy Wen's clan, and I think it is a disciple with low talent in the clan who feels that there is no hope of cultivating immortals, so he came to the royal city to be an official!"
He patted the knocker vigorously before he walked up to the door, and then waited like this, but after a quarter of an hour there was no response, not even a subordinate.
He patted the knocker again, and just when he was a little impatient, there was a sound of footsteps, and then a panicked man poked his head out and glanced at the person outside the door.
"Who are you, and what are you doing in this mansion?" the man asked, opening his mouth.
Lei Luo saw that this person was wearing the clothes of a lower person, so he knew that this person was not the person in charge, so naturally he couldn't reveal too many things.
"We are the juniors of the Wenguo clan, entrusted by the family, we specially came to meet the Guogong, and we hope to inform one or two," Lei Luo said politely.
After the man dressed as a subordinate glanced at Lei Luo and Wen Xiu, his eyes looked up and down at the two of them, and then he closed the door, and then there was a sound of footsteps, obviously the man went to inform the person in charge.
It was another quarter of an hour before the door opened, and then the man welcomed Lei Luo and the others in, and then led them around to a large hall.
After the man instructed the two of them a few words, he left the place, saying that he was going to invite the prince to come.
"There is a smell of blood, although the smell has been dissipated for a long time, but it can't hide it from me who cultivates the Blood Dao Exercises!" Lei Luo was a little surprised, and at the same time secretly said in his heart.
From the moment he walked into the Guogong Mansion, he smelled a slightly diluted smell of blood, and the further he walked inside, the stronger the smell became, and this smell of blood was human blood, not animal blood!
This made him a little strange, how could there be a smell of blood in the Guogong Mansion, unless!
If he hadn't cultivated the Blood Sacrifice Divine Codex, he wouldn't have been able to detect the smell of blood, as if hundreds of people had been killed here, but the time should have been months ago.
What is the reason that hundreds of people will be killed in the Guogong Mansion, and the man's actions just now are not at all like a subordinate, there must be something wrong with it!
But just as Lei Luo was thinking, there was a sound of footsteps, and then an old man dressed in rich clothes walked into the hall, and behind the old man was followed by several subordinates.
"Don't come here unharmed, but I haven't been back to the clan for a long time, I don't know why the two descendants came here to find the old man?" asked the old man strangely as soon as he entered the door.
After the old man asked, he looked at the two in front of him, but when he saw Lei Luo close his eyes, he was a little strange, and he didn't understand why this young man came to see him and closed his eyes.
"There are a total of fifty-seven people in the Guogong Mansion, all of them are ordinary people who have not cultivated in their bodies, except for this old man, all of them have been killed!" Lei Luo suddenly opened his eyes and ordered.
Then, when the old man was unclear, he saw a beautiful woman suddenly appear in front of him.
However, after the woman appeared, she showed a cold look, and then disappeared in an instant.
"Ahh
The old man was startled, and when he didn't understand what was happening, a man's cold face appeared in front of him, and then a hand grabbed his head roughly.
A sharp pain came from his head, and then a moment later, he lost consciousness as soon as his eyes went black.
In fact, the old man not only lost consciousness, he also lost his life.
When Lei Luo used the soul searching technique, he felt that all the old man's memories began to dissipate, and in the end he only got some inconsequential things, and the old man in his hand had already turned into a corpse at this time.
"The prohibition, the prohibition to prevent others from searching for souls, but this prohibition is relatively simple, and it still allowed me to get some information," he said slowly after glancing at the old man's corpse.
Grabbing the old man's body in his hand, he began to look at it, and found a raised piece of skin on his neck, and when he pulled this piece of skin up, the old man's entire face was torn off.
"Sure enough, it's a human-skin mask, and those subordinates outside the door all have a vague evil aura on their bodies, but your evil qi is the heaviest, which means that you have the biggest problem!" said Lei Luo after looking at the corpse in his hand.
At this time, it was no longer an old man in his hands, but a middle-aged man with a fierce face, but no matter how fierce he looked, he had now turned into a cold corpse.
And the little girl Wenxiu saw that Lei Luo killed someone in the blink of an eye, although her face was surprised and frightened, she did not scream in horror.
"These people want to kill me, I have to kill them," Lei Luo explained to the little girl.
After finishing speaking, he didn't care whether the little girl understood or not, and walked out of the lobby, it was obvious that there was no danger here.
Outside, he saw corpses all over the ground, most of them with frightened faces, but now they were out of life.
Needless to say, these are all from Lu Linglong's handwriting, and it is naturally easy for her to kill these ordinary people in the middle stage of foundation building.
Then a few corpses were examined, these people were all dressed as subordinates, and the fierce aura on their bodies could be speculated to be bandits, but only this information could be seen, and there were no breakthrough clues.
After spending a cup of tea and gathering all the corpses in the mansion, Lei Luo burned the corpses with a fireball technique, and then blew all the ashes apart with a wind technique, leaving no trace.
"I didn't expect to visit the Guogong Mansion this time, but I found that the Guogong had already died, it seems that someone came before us, who is it!" he was a little puzzled.
From the memory of the man who disguised himself as an old man, he only got one clue, that is, someone ordered them to kill the people of the Guogong Mansion and then guard the place, and then all the information disappeared because of the ban.
"Childe, who sent these people?" Lu Linglong suddenly appeared beside Lei Luo and asked.
"The clues are not clear now, these people were able to kill Wen Guogong, it must be someone behind them, according to that prohibition method, it means that the person behind it may be a monk, and it may be a demon monk!" Lei Luo analyzed.
Although there are many prohibitions to prevent soul searching, the foundation building monks of the five sects of Dongyue Kingdom basically can't even search for souls, and it must be the Demon Dao of Nanjue Kingdom that can be thought of placing the ban.
Thinking of the five sects such as the Demon Flame Sect and the Blood Demon Sect, Lei Luo's face flashed with a trace of solemnity, after all, the other party is not a good man and a woman, not the kind of person who can sit down and talk with you.
"Although there is not much hope, let's search the Guogong Mansion and see if we can find any clues!" Lei Luo said.
After finishing speaking, he let go of his divine sense and enveloped the entire Guogong Mansion, and Lu Linglong also understood, his delicate body turned into a white mist and then went to a study and began to look for it.
Within the Divine Sense, Lei Luo carefully looked at the inside and outside of the Guogong Mansion, and did not find any useful clues, but the Divine Sense could not see it, which did not mean that other secret techniques could not be seen.
"The Blood Sacrifice Dao Blood Seeking Technique, although it is not a magical ability to fight with people, but it is more useful here and now," he said, looking at his left hand.
I saw that a blood-red mark suddenly appeared in the palm of his left hand, and this mark began to flicker slightly after it appeared.
A burst of strange spells came out of Lei Luo's mouth, and as he recited the words, he saw that a red point of light suddenly flew out from the blood-red mark on his left hand.
Looking at the red point of light flying out, he said the word 'probe', and then this red point of light flew towards the corner of the Guogong Mansion.
Lei Luo naturally followed, and the small red point of light stopped and slowly floated in the air when it flew near a large flower garden.
Seeing this flower garden, Lei Luo made a move with his left hand, and the blood-colored mark in his hand appeared, and the red point of light flew back into his palm and disappeared.
After doing this, he released his divine sense, and then turned the divine consciousness that radiated in all directions into a sharp sword, and stabbed it into the flower garden in front of him.
In the consciousness that turned into a sword, Lei Luo 'saw' the soil beneath the flower bed, and saw the corpses under the soil, which had decayed due to the passage of time.
"It's a good idea to bury the corpse under the flowerbed and use the soil to decompose the corpse," Lei Luo complimented after glancing at the flowerbed.
The corpse under the flower garden is naturally from the Guogong Mansion, but the murderer has also been killed by him, so it is naturally impossible to find the murderer with other secret techniques.
"The murderer was killed by me, and it is temporarily determined that it was the devil's doing, but there are too few clues, and I can't tell what I should say!" Lei Luo sighed.
Next, he walked towards Lu Linglong's position to see if the other party could find any clues.
