After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 544 Zhang Yu's Confession

"In the blink of an eye, I haven't been to Lingxu for six or seven years, and I miss it very much." He rubbed his hands happily, as if he was really looking forward to it, "When will I leave?"

"Soon." Bai Ziqi put away his surprise, smiled at the two of them, stood up and said, "I still have to wait for some news, so I'll go back first."

The two sent Bai Ziqi out of the inn, and watched his back disappear into the corner of the street.

The envoy refused to take the carriage, but wanted to walk back, saying that walking would help him think.

Only then did He Lingchuan let out a long breath: "Sure enough, he wants me to return to Lingxu together."

This person is really not easy to fool.

"Don't worry, with me by your side, he won't be able to do anything for you!" Fu Shanyue patted him on the shoulder, "Isn't that great, you were going to Lingxu City too. Now you don't have to go with the caravan, and you don't have to worry about clearing the level." , Emissary Du Yun personally escorts you there."

He Lingchuan smiled wryly.Bai Ziqi asked him to go to Lingxu City, what good intentions could he have?
Fortunately, Fu Shanyue was with him, so Bai Ziqi couldn't deal with him openly on the road.

Walking back, Fu Shan saw him thinking more and more: "What did you think of?"

He Lingchuan was thinking about the bamboo tube for the Gu people, and shook his head when he heard the words: "I was wondering, were the treasures that Qinggong lost more than ten years ago really stolen?"

Fu Shanyue could only shrug his shoulders: "They said yes, of course it is."

Say no, is it useful?
He Lingchuan thought of the portrait of Master Qingyang.Mai Xuewen mentioned that Qingyang National Teacher was calm and breezy, but he intuitively told He Lingchuan that there was probably some kind of relationship between the two.

"From the portrait to the snail toad, everything is related to the Qing Palace." He Lingchuan exhaled, "The clues left by Mai Xuewen are very directional, and it is impossible for Bai Ziqi not to notice."

Although Bai Ziqi had already taken over the case of the elixir, most of the pressure was taken off He Lingchuan.But he can still feel that the road ahead is really thorny every step of the way.

Further down, this case is beyond his ability to investigate.Even Fu Shanyue and Chiyan Kingdom can't check it.

"Qinggong?" Fu Shanyue also let out a long sigh, "This guy is really courageous, maybe there is someone backing him up."

……

The day finally dawned.

Cheng Yu felt warm all over.

As soon as he opened his eyes, the sky light passed through the door and shone on his face, which was a little dazzling.

This was his request last night, sleeping with his head facing the door.

The warm golden sun in the morning makes people feel relieved from the bottom of their hearts.

Bai Ziqi was sitting on a chair in the corner, and when he saw him move, he said, "Oh, I thought you wouldn't be able to wake up."

"Cen Boqing and I are just in an employment relationship. He pays, I kill, and I haven't done it yet." Cheng Yu looked at the warm light coming through the door, heaved a sigh of relief, and said decisively, "I'll deal with the rest of the Cen family. Not at all involved."

Bai Ziqi laughed.

Cheng Yu asked, "I'm not a repeat offender in Cen Boqing's case, am I?"

"You assassinated the special envoy of the Crown Prince of the Chiyan Kingdom, and if you release it to the local county magistrate, it will be a serious case." Bai Ziqi took his time and said, "In my case, it depends on the situation."

"what's the situation?"

"What method did you use to deal with the special envoy of Prince Chiyan?"

Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment: "Nightmare."

Bai Ziqi raised his chin slightly and understood: "So you signed a contract with Meng Night?"

Some conjurers can make contracts with nightmares and use their power to kill people in their dreams.The nightmare disappeared without a trace, and the victim was completely unharmed in reality, leaving no useful clues, and no way to investigate.

But this kind of thing is very rare, the nightmare itself is rare, and most of them can only create a little nightmare for people, absorb a little fear to live.

Nightmare will also devour each other.

Big guys who can really kill people in their dreams are rare.

How could such a dream overlord listen to others?To sign a contract with them, you have to transfer enough benefits.

Cheng Yu nodded, feeling concerned.

"Do Cen Boqing and Wu Kai know?"

"They only know that I can kill people secretly, but they don't know that it's a nightmare killing people. I never told anyone about this kind of thing."

"Why did you suffer backlash?" Bai Ziqi asked him, "The nightmare failed?"

"Not only failed, but I'm afraid it will be seriously injured by the opponent, otherwise its golden body would not be shattered suddenly." Cheng Yu smiled bitterly, "I never thought it would be like this."

"Wu Kai confessed that you can curse and kill the king of a country." Bai Ziqi said again, "Is this borrowing the power of the nightmare?"

"Yes." At this point, Cheng Yu has nothing to deny.In the past, the purpose of playing tricks was to raise one's self-worth.

"Well, could it be that the dream master has been invited?"

The most powerful nightmare is revered as the dream master.

"...Yes." Bai Ziqi still knew this title, Cheng Yu was a little surprised.

"What about the title?"

Cheng Yu said in a low voice: "If you never forget, there must be echoes. I can't call it by name publicly."

"With my protection, are you still afraid of it?"

"It was originally a fairy, but it fell into a dream and became a dream master. It has devoured countless nightmares." Cheng Yu still had a look of fear in his eyes, "It can dream in the daytime, and ordinary evil methods can't deal with it at all."

"Do you dare to call the means of the gods mediocre?" Bai Ziqi pointed to the burning candle in the corner of the room, "With the protection of the ever-burning lamp in front of the Holy Void Seat, you will be safe. Tell me, what is that title?"

The ever-burning lamp of the Holy One?Cheng Yu looked at the candle, and sure enough, he felt the power of tranquility from the flame.He gritted his teeth, and finally confessed: "It is a nightmare with a hundred faces. It once told me personally that its current Taoism is better than that of the immortals in the past."

"Hundred noodles?" Bai Ziqi stroked his chin, "How did you avoid it before?"

"I used to have a Dreamland in a Bottle, but I used it up in the Cen Mansion. My soul was hidden in it to warm up, but was awakened by Cen Boqing in advance, and my soul injury was hard to heal."

Speaking of this, the candlelight in the corner of the room suddenly flickered.

The warm sun illuminated half of the compartment. The flash was inconspicuous, but it happened to be opposite Cheng Yu, so he caught it.

Bai Ziqi also looked back and frowned. "Since Baimian is so powerful, how could he be defeated by He Xiao?"

"The power of Baimian is not something that ordinary teenagers can contend with." Cheng Yu took a breath, "I have always suspected that it was because of his extremely powerful protection that Baimian could suddenly collapse."

"Maybe he has some magic weapon to protect himself?"

"Magic artifact?" Cheng Yu couldn't help laughing, "If a few magical artifacts can block Baimian, it doesn't have the right to be called a 'dream master', at least it meets the threshold of a divine weapon!"

"Sacred weapon..." Bai Ziqi was thoughtful, "What kind of divine weapon would it be?"

"It can transform into Qingming, suppress evil and ward off evil spirits, protect He Xiao's spirit, and even seriously injure Baimian." Cheng Yu was a little dizzy, probably because his soul injury was not healed, he gasped after speaking a few more words, and his mind was muddled for a while, " This kind of treasure, I don’t think there are many such treasures in the world, right? And I also think that Baimian’s attack on me in turn has something to do with He Xiao.”

"Oh?" Bai Ziqi pondered, "You mean, He Xiao can instigate rebellion and drive Nightmare to attack you?"

What kind of monster is Baimian?This is not something ordinary people can do.

"Very likely!" Cheng Yu pressed his head, "I never heard that Baimian was eaten by anyone."

At this time, the ever-bright lamp flame shook again, and then went out.

Cheng Yu pointed at it and suddenly became nervous: "This..."

"There is indeed something looking for you, and I have no scruples during the day." Bai Ziqi threw a handful of incense ash at the end of the bed.

The incense ash fluttered in the air, but it seemed that it could not fall down when it was hung on something.

The thing was originally transparent, but it drew a rough outline——

It looks like a human, with a body, legs and hands, but it is not human, because the neck and hands are too long, like a tree monster.

And it has two heads.

It was close to the bed, looking at Cheng Yu with its head outstretched.

If Bai Ziqi hadn't brought the incense ashes over, no one would have known it was there.

This kind of malicious spying is really creepy.Even Cheng Yu trembled, his scalp exploded.

After being discovered, the nightmare turned into a strange wind and swept out the door.

Xiang Ash marked its path of action, and when it approached the door, Bai Ziqi slashed out with a sword, actually cutting the strange wind in two neatly.

There is a faint golden light on the sword.

Both of them heard an indistinct strange cry, angry and miserable.

Immediately afterwards, the strange wind spontaneously ignited, and pale flames swept across the entire compartment.However, neither of the two people in the compartment felt the heat of the flames.

The strange wind wanted to escape, but the four candles in the corner formed a barrier, separating it in the middle.The candle flame was faltering, flickering and flickering.

It hits the barrier repeatedly like a fly hitting a window.

Bai Ziqi said disdainfully: "This is the Dream Lord? Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times."

Cheng Yu was a little stunned: "It, it..." How could Baimian be so delicious?
While the two were talking, Guaifeng tried his best and finally blew out a candle.The invisible barrier was broken, and it finally escaped.

Bai Ziqi didn't stop him either.

"Maybe it doesn't want to be entangled in the daytime. Or..." Cheng Yu thought for himself, his eyes lit up, "After being defeated by He Xiao, its strength has been greatly reduced, and it is no longer the dream master!"

Bai Ziqi couldn't help laughing: "You just hid from such a thing for several days, and you still use up a precious dreamland?"

Cheng Yu was speechless.

He only remembered the power of the Dream Lord, but he forgot that if he himself as a summoner suffered backlash, how many times more damage would the Nightmare itself suffer than him?
It is also seriously injured, so there is no prestige in the past!

After thinking this through, he relaxed, and the big stone in his heart disappeared.

Bai Ziqi then asked him, "Is the contract you made with Baimian still alive?"

Cheng Yu shook his head: "Probably after I returned to the Cen Mansion, I found that the contract was automatically terminated."

That's why he panicked then.

"It doesn't matter if you cancel it, then you can deal with it freely." Bai Ziqi asked him, "Can you stand up? I want you to go to the county dungeon and have a confession with Cen Boqing. I gave you a lot of good medicine before, and you should be able to Get up."

Cheng Yu tried to sit up, and found that his sick body was no longer heavy.

"You really know how to help me deal with Baimian?"

"Of course." Bai Ziqi said sincerely, "I still need your help in my next case."

Cheng Yu was curious: "What's the matter?"

Bai Ziqi smiled: "Once Cen Boqing's case is settled, you will know."

　It's the middle of the month, ask for a monthly pass!
