Chapter 39: Dawn
After half a cup of tea, the whole inn burned, and from a distance it looked like a huge torch, illuminating the surroundings.
On the street, there are dozens of monks of varying cultivation, and these people are all monks who live on this street permanently. At this time, they all looked coldly at the inn that was collapsing due to the expansion of the fire, and no one had any intention of stopping the spread of the fire.
"This is the property of the Wang family, and someone dares to burn this place. A man in a black hexagram robe looked at the inn that had burned up and said with a sneer.
"Who said no, and I don't know who was so bold. A diminutive man picked up the conversation.
"In the ghost capital, who doesn't know that the Wang family is a tiger in the mountains. Ordinary people say that the tiger fart~ can't be touched, this is not only touched, but also beaten. A thin old man said with a smile.
"If this matter is not handled well, the face of the Wang family will be lost. A man with a shy stomach gloated.
"Oh, you group of immoral ghosts, just want to see the Wang family lose face. A young woman in a crimson overalls covered her lips and smiled, then she looked sideways at an expressionless man beside her and said, "I said Hu shopkeeper, this is your shop next to it, be careful that it is burned." ”
"It can't be burned. The man said with a blank face.
"Shopkeeper Hu, you dead face doesn't know how to change it. Jiao Sanniang blinked and said.
At this moment, an extremely indifferent voice came from above.
"Guys, have you seen enough?"
With this voice, a man with a thin face, leading an old man with gray hair, fell from the sky in front of everyone.
No one was impressed by the old man, but it was difficult for them to know the emaciated man.
One of the three spiritual monks of the Wang family, Wang Du!
When everyone saw the faces of the people in front of them clearly, their faces changed, and even the shopkeeper Hu, who had been expressionless, was also moved, obviously they never thought that the Wang family would send the royal capital to come.
"It doesn't make sense, this inn is just a small property of the Wang family in the ghost capital, but it is too much of a fuss to send the royal capital here. Jiao Sanniang raised her eyebrows, and immediately noticed that something was wrong.
In fact, not only Jiao Sanniang, but also the others, although they didn't have anything on their faces, they were also aware of the strangeness in their hearts. Although the highest cultivation among these people is only in the middle stage of enlightenment, they can survive in this ghost capital mixed with dragons and snakes, which one is easy to match.
The man's eyes swept over the people present coldly, and asked coldly: "You are all people on this street, have you ever seen who set fire to my Wang Inn?"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally said in different voices: "No." ”
"No?" Wang Du frowned, and an aura that belonged to the Silent Monk instantly pressed down towards everyone.
Everyone's faces turned pale, and some of those with low cultivation had their foreheads covered with dense cold sweat. Under this breath, they could only bear it silently, and they didn't dare to resist at all.
"Hmph!" Wang Du snorted coldly, then withdrew his breath and said coldly: "Remember, my Wang family is not a group of you who can point fingers, get out!"
Those foundation-building monks all bowed their heads, and there was no reaction to Wang Du's words. And Jiao Sanniang and a few other enlightened monks only looked sinking.
Then everyone left, and after a while, only Wang Du and the gray-haired old man were left on the street.
Wang Du turned around and looked at the raging fire, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, looking at this fire, they should not have been away for too long, they must still be in the ghost capital.
The man was also thoughtful, and even thought of setting fire to cover up his breath. The old man said in a hoarse voice.
"The ancestor has explained, let me be sure to find this person. Is there a way for an unknown old man to find out where that person is?" Although the old man's cultivation is only in the late stage of enlightenment, Wang Du's tone of voice to this person is unusually polite, and it is obvious that this old man's status is not low.
"I can't guarantee it, so I can only say that I will try my best. The old man didn't finish his words, after all, this fire had probably destroyed the remaining breath in the inn.
Then the old man stretched out his withered right hand, and saw a white insect shell appear on the palm of his hand. Then he forced out a drop of essence blood from his left hand and dripped it onto the white worm shell.
The drop of essence blood instantly melted into the white worm shell, and then a crack appeared on the white worm shell from beginning to end.
"Old man, what is this?" Wang Du looked at the insect shell in the old man's hand and asked with a frown.
But the old man waved his hand and motioned for him to look at it.
Wang Du nodded slightly, and then turned his gaze to the insect shell. At this glance, I saw that the crack in the shell suddenly expanded, and then the whole shell split in half. A small brown worm with transparent flesh wings on its back came out of it.
The brown insect was stained with some sticky~thick yellow liquid, and it looked quite disgusting.
"It's ...... Breathworms?" Wang Du asked with some uncertainty as he looked at the brown insects.
"Exactly. Whether or not you can find that person depends on it. The old man's cloudy eyes suddenly shot out~ and said, "Let's go in." ”
Immediately, the two of them stretched out a transparent cover and slowly walked into the inn that had turned into a sea of fire.
The two of them walked into the inn and frowned slightly when they saw several corpses that had been burned to charcoal.
"Elder Ming, what do you think of these corpses?" asked Wang Du with a wave of his right hand, turning the beam of the charred corpse in front of him.
The old man did not answer immediately, but walked up to the corpse, crouched down and looked at it carefully.
"Almost all of the flesh and blood in these people before they died. The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice.
"What?" Wang Du hurriedly walked to the corpse and squatted down, and after a careful inspection, sure enough, it was what the old man said, the flesh and blood in this corpse had already been sucked dry.
Wang Du's eyes rolled slightly, and now he was not investigating how these people died, but completing the ancestor's explanation and killing that person. He then spoke: "There is a name for Lao Lao. ”
The old man nodded slightly, and then he opened his right hand, and the probe worm flew out suddenly, flying around a few times, and finally returned to the old man's hand, making a burst of screams like stones rubbing against each other.
"How is the old man?" Wang Du's eyes widened, and he immediately returned.
"The breathworm has detected seven breaths from this inn?" the old man said slowly, and then added, "Two of them are not monks, and the old man thinks they should be their demon pets. ”
"In addition to the two breaths that may be demon pets, there are five monks. Wang Du frowned, and said to himself in his heart, who could it be?
Suddenly, Wang Du's eyes shot ~ a fine light, he remembered that some time ago Wang Zhi had told himself that he lived here with four disciples of the Mingyang Sect, and he remembered that Wang Zhi said that the highest cultivation among the four people was only in the early stage of enlightenment, so they were definitely not the ones who killed Wang Zhi. If four of these five people are the disciples of the Mingyang Sect, then the identity of the other person is probably also related to the Mingyang Sect.
"It's not good, if it's really as I thought, these five people must not let them leave the ghost capital!" A fierce light flashed in Wang Du's eyes, and the killing intent was faintly floating.
"Elder Ming, how long have those people been gone, can you find out?"
"Huh?" The old man's eyes narrowed, he naturally heard a trace of anxiety in Wang Du's words, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The five people who left may be from the Mingyang Sect!" Wang Du said.
"What?" cried the old man, his face trembling slightly.
The old man immediately restrained his expression and made a sizzling sound at the breathworm in his hand.
"Time is between half a pillar of incense and one pillar of incense. The old man then raised his head and looked at Wang Du and said.
"This place is already close to the center of the ghost capital, and they must still be in the ghost capital. Wang Du muttered to himself, and then said to the old man: "Famous old man, let the probe worm lead the way!"
The old man seemed to know that it was very urgent at this moment, and there was no nonsense, and as soon as his right hand was raised, the breathworm flew towards the outside of the inn in an instant.
The two of them glanced at each other, followed without thinking, and flew outside.
............
A group of five people took advantage of the night to constantly shuttle through the ghost capital. These five people were Lin Yan and his entourage, because they were afraid that flying in the sky might attract the attention of some people, so they had to run. However, the five of them are also monks, and the strength of this body is far from being comparable to ordinary people, and this speed is not very slow.
"You've been here for a short time, but do you know how far you are from the city gate?" Lin Yan ran to the front and asked Qiu Yushan behind him.
"This is already the periphery of the ghost capital, and at our current speed, it will probably take a pillar of incense. Qiu Yushan looked around, and then spoke.
"A pillar of incense? No, it's been too long. Lin Yan frowned, and an anxious look appeared on his face.
"But fellow Daoists...... My junior brother and sister can't hold it anymore. Qiu Yushan said hesitantly.
"Huh?" Lin Yan immediately turned his head and looked behind him, only to see that Zhou Mei and Huang Zhiqing were already sweating profusely, as for Yu Xing, because he was injured by him before, he was not only sweating profusely at this moment, but his face was even more snow-white.
"Forget it, there's not much time left for us, don't worry about anything else, just fly forward. Lin Yan stopped, looked at the four people behind him and said, "Yu Xing, I'll take it, you go first." ”
Qiu Yushan's three daughters glanced at each other, nodded one after another, turned into a long rainbow, and flew towards the city gate.
"Thank you, Elder Lin. ”
"Don't waste time. Lin Yan said indifferently, and then he walked up to Yu Xing, grabbed his right wrist~, rose into the air, and chased after the three people who left.
At the same time, in the eastern sky, a faint light quietly appeared. Although it was still dark and the sky was still dark, and the light was so insignificant, Lin Yan still found it and said to himself, "It's dawn." ”
