Jiangcheng.

The silver moon hangs high, the lights are bright, even if it is the time of the palm lamp, the city is still noisy, and the flow of people is like weaving.

Deep in the palace.

A short and thin figure appeared here, dressed in a black robe, with long black hair, and his face was densely covered with vicissitudes, revealing a sense of exhaustion.

"Master!"

Several young men stood up and gave their hands.

Prime Minister Zhang Gaoqiu also greeted him and saluted: "Teacher, you are here." ”

"As soon as I got your message, I came. ”

Shangguan Yan nodded, "What's the situation now?"

Zhang Gaoqiu's face was complicated, and he said: "So far, I have no clue, it is unpredictable, the whole body of the dead person has been seen, and the internal organs seem to be all eaten up, teacher, could it be that kind of thing?"

He wanted to speak, but he stopped.

Shangguan Yan sighed: "What else can there be besides that kind of thing?"

Several young men looked at each other.

Zhang Gaoqiu's face changed, and he said, "Is it really reappearing?"

"Alright, this matter is in a hurry, take your time. ”

Shangguan Yan said in a deep voice.

Since the end of the incident in Qingfeng City that day, he separated from the disciples and went to Phoenix Mountain Villa alone, thinking that he would be able to see the old owner, but unfortunately now the old owner's face is getting bigger and bigger, and he has worked hard in the village for more than ten days, and he has not seen each other.

Disheartened, Shangguan Yan decided to return the six doors.

However, just after passing the Yumen Pass, I learned of Zhang Gaoqiu's message.

The other disciples also received the message when they crossed the river, and then they agreed to meet in Jiangcheng.

Zhang Ruoxuan led Zhang Xiao to continue to return to the headquarters for registration.

"What's the news in the city lately?"

Shangguan Yan asked.

"The powerhouses from all walks of life have been gathering recently, and the eclipse sword bangs in the list, the ghost shadow Sen Sen Feng long hair, the red gold stick Ximen cold wind, and the exhaustive strategy Zhou Tiandi are all revealed in the city, and the 'starving ghost', 'blue-faced ghost', and 'skinning ghost' in the black list also appeared in the city, but they disappeared in a flash, and soon disappeared again.

In addition, the three-headed Jiao who was arrested in Fengzhou last month actually escaped from prison and was shot dead in Dajiang, and the body was in the county office.

Zhang Gaoqiu said.

The names of the people in front, he said them one by one, Shangguan Yan was still silent, but when he suddenly talked about the three-headed Jiao in the back, Shangguan Yan obviously frowned.

When he heard Zhiduoxing Chen Xuanyuan again, he showed a different color again.

"Where is the body of the three-headed Jiao, take me to see. ”

Shangguan Yan groaned.

He is going to see if anyone is pretending, once the black list characters are caught, it is impossible to escape from prison so easily, at least there must be four silver medallion catchers guarding at the same time, not leaving an inch, who can rob the three-headed Jiao under the gaze of the four silver medals?

"Teacher, please follow me!"

Zhang Gaoqiu led the way in front.

Shangguan Yan led the rest of the disciples to follow.

In a secluded room, candles are lit.

The three-headed Jiao Ji Kai was lying here quietly, his face was pale, his eyelids were blue, corpse spots were faintly visible on his body, and a toothpick on his forehead had been submerged, and the traces of blood had dried up.

"Ji Kai nailed to death with a toothpick?"

Shangguan Yan showed a different color and said, "How old is the person who made the shot?"

"Judging by his appearance, he should be around twenty. ”

Zhang Gaoqiu said.

"Twenty or so?"

Shangguan Yan's eyes were even more different, and he said: "There is such a profound internal force in the past twenty, this person is incredible." ”

He suddenly reached out his palm and explored back and forth on Ji Kai's face.

"Teacher, I've checked, and there's no trace of a skin mask. ”

Zhang Gaoqiu said.

"Huh?"

Shangguan Yan's face suddenly moved, his fingers directly opened Ji Kai's eyelids, his eyes froze, and said: "Poison, Ji Kai's body is poisonous, and the internal force of the person who started it has poisonous attributes." ”

Zhang Gaoqiu was stunned and said, "Poison attribute?"

He didn't understand what Shangguan Yan meant, even if it was poisonous, what could he do?

Several apprentices around him also glanced at each other, their brows furrowed.

There are not a few people who use poison skills, this is nothing, right?

Shangguan Yan was silent and continued to check.

Seeing the traces of the poisonous attribute internal strength, and seeing Ji Kai being nailed to death with a toothpick, for some reason, he immediately thought of the head-catching 'iron turtle' Wu Tiande that he saw in Qingfeng City.

Chen Xuan, to be precise!

He wished it could be one person, because it would be easier to recruit in this way.

Chen Xuan's preference for pretending to be a head catcher shows that he loves this profession very much in his heart...

The current imperial court urgently needs a person with unqualified qualifications.

Various ancient families and martial arts sects have successively appeared in the heavenly list and the earth list, but the imperial court is gradually declining, and if it goes on like this, one day, the dynasty will not be the court.

This time he went to see the old owner of Phoenix Villa, and he knocked a nail, which is the best example!

It shows that the old owner of Phoenix Mountain Villa now does not need to take the imperial court in his eyes at all, and when he breaks through to the [Awakening] realm, he can even completely tear the earth and become the king.

Shangguan Yan checked around, but he couldn't find anything abnormal, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Did you ask for the specifics?"

Shangguan Yan asked.

"I asked, but there was still no clue. ”

Zhang Gaoqiu said.

Shangguan Yan groaned, "Where did that scholar stay?"

"At 19 Liaison Street. ”

Zhang Gaoqiu opened his mouth and said the name of a place reported by Chen Xuan in the evening.

"Master, do you suspect something?"

A tall disciple wondered.

Shangguan Yan pondered slightly and did not answer.

Several disciples looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions.

...

Whew...

Outside the city.

The dark woods were covered with white snow, the cold wind howled, and the wolves howled.

A gray figure walked deeper into the woods, and suddenly, a cold voice came from overhead.

"Figured it out?"

The gray figure paused, cold sweat trickled, and said: "The person who killed the three-headed Jiao is named Chen Xuanyuan, he calls himself 'Zhiduoxing', today he even broke into the five-story splendid building, the first four floors are a one-trick defeat of the enemy, the depth of internal force is unimaginable, everyone calls him 'Strange Power Scholar'..."

"That's not what I'm talking about. ”

The cold voice continued to sound, cold and terrifying, and said: "You idiot, you dare to rush to rescue him from prison even if you don't even know who the three-headed Jiao is, you almost exposed our organization!"

The gray figure showed horror and said, "Three-headed Jiao, the black list is strong... He... He's a casual cultivator. ”

"Idiot! You still don't understand? If he is a loose cultivator, then why did he let you kill the Lingxiao Sect disciple that day, but he himself went to kill the head catcher? Don't you see that he is using you? He asked you to kill the Ling Xiao Sect disciple in order to attract the attention of the head catcher, so that he can sneak attack the head catcher, and the blow is fatal, and the head catcher hides a 'Taishang map'! You fool!"

The cold voice gritted its teeth, hating iron and not steel.

"What?

The gray figure could hardly be believed.

"You're still in the dark, who extradited you like this kind of waste?"

A cold voice said coldly.

"Give me another chance, I can do better, give me a chance, I will definitely be able to take the Taishang picture back. ”

The gray figure hurriedly spoke.

"That's enough, don't meddle in this, I'll let someone else do it. ”

The cold voice faded away.

The gray figure gritted its teeth, his face was unwilling, and it took a long time for him to let out a long angry howl, which contrasted with the sound of the wolf.

...

Midnight.

The city is still bustling, people come and go outside the door, the lights are weaving, and the fragrance of various snacks spreads, whistling with the cold wind.

Within Zhang's house.

With the exception of the two patrol servants, the others had already fallen asleep.

In the shadow of a roof, Chen Xuan sat quietly, gathering his breath, like a shadow of a black forest, looking at a room and observing quietly.

Long before dark, he had rented a yard outside.

After settling the place where he settled, he took advantage of the darkness and wore night clothes to turn into Zhang's mansion, the purpose of which was to monitor the Zhang Xinyu he saw during the day.

Zhang Xinyu's conversation was listened to by him.

He was extremely suspicious that this woman's body was the kind of cyan baby that was causing trouble, so as soon as it was dark, he mixed up.

However, until now, there is nothing abnormal in Zhang Xinyu's room.

The woman was fine in the room, and after dinner, she went to bed early at the second watch.

Chen Xuan frowned slightly, still reluctant to leave, sat quietly on the roof, and continued to monitor.

Time is fast.

The sky was white, and the east was shining with a brilliant golden luster, speckled with spots, and the shouting of the peddlers' pawns could be heard outside again.

Chen Xuan pondered.

The night went on, and it was business as usual.

Zhang Xinyu had nothing unusual except for coming out of the toilet twice at night.

Could it be that you are suspicious?

It's really just that this woman has an indecent life, so she is pregnant?

Seeing that the day appeared, Chen Xuan turned around and left, in a deserted alley, took off his night clothes, put them in the package, and walked to the street, just smelling the aroma of tofu brain, a man carrying a container, was preparing to go out.

"Shopkeeper, bring me two bowls of tofu brain!"

Chen Xuan took out a bit of broken silver.

"Okay. ”

The man shouted, his face delighted.

As soon as you go out, you will meet customers, and you may be able to close the stall early today.

Chen Xuanlian drank two bowls of tofu brain, felt a little more comfortable in his stomach pouch, and walked towards his residence.

The crowd gradually increased in the streets, and they went around a small half of the city before returning to their residences.

Pushing open the courtyard door, walking to the room, as soon as he entered, his eyes were fixed and he noticed something abnormal.

Is there any trace of a search in the room?

Quilts, drawers, pillows... have all been touched by people.

Chen Xuan suddenly looked at the window, walked over gently, and pushed open the window.

The window was unlocked, so it should have jumped in through the window.

Is it an ordinary little thief or someone else?

Chen Xuan pondered.

No one should know their true identity, they have just come to Jiangcheng, their faces and temperament are different from before, and no one will be eyeing them or anything like that.

He is indeed afraid that someone will know his true identity, after all, he is now a big ingot, and he is worth dozens of taels of silver if he loses his leg hair casually.

Chen Xuan walked back and forth in the room, suddenly walked out of the door, walked towards the landlord's position, and began to knock on the door.

"Lao Wang, did you see anyone come in last night?"

He shouted.

In case in case, maybe it's really a little thief.

The room opened from the inside, and Wang Twelve looked sleepy-eyed, rubbing his eyes, yawning, and looking at Chen Xuan.

"I didn't see it, what's wrong?

"It looks like a thief has come into my room and thrown a little silver. ”

Chen Xuan said vaguely.

"What? I'm going to report to the police. ”

Wang Twelve was startled and spoke.

As a flat-headed ordinary person in the market, the first reaction of a thief in the family is to report to the official.

Chen Xuan hesitated and said, "Forget it, I don't have much money lost, I'll just ask." ”

"Mr. Chen, last night... When I came out to the toilet last night, I seemed to see a person, not like an ordinary thief. ”

Suddenly, a cowering voice rang out.

Chen Xuan looked back, but it was another tenant standing in the door, revealing a pair of eyes, a little afraid, and said: "It seems that he is not a weak Jianghu person, his body is light, and he jumped on the roof lightly, I was worried about being wiped out, so I hid in the backyard toilet all night last night and didn't dare to come out." ”

Well?

Chen Xuan's heart moved, and he said, "Do you know him?"

It was too dark, and he wore a night suit. ”

The tenant said.

Chen Xuan touched his chin, and his heart surged.

Was it really discovered?

Not really.

"Okay, thank you. ”

Chen Xuan said.
