Walking around the world with the system

Chapter 40
The two rushed to the city lord's mansion in a hurry. On the way, Yiyi learned from Mu Yuanzhen that the dragon sandalwood is the treasure of the capital city of Qing Dynasty.It is said that someone once saw a dragon coiled on it, so they named it Long Tanxiang.Moreover, the dragon sandalwood has been in the Qing capital city, and it will lose its effect when it goes out of the city, which is very miraculous.

Dragon sandalwood is a rare treasure for cultivation, and practicing next to it can get twice the result with half the effort. On weekdays, the city lord enshrines it in the ancestral hall of the city lord's mansion. When the guards patrolled this morning, they found that the fragrance in the ancestral hall was weak. When they went in, they found that the dragon sandalwood incense had disappeared. .

The existence of Dragon Sandalwood concerns everyone in Qingdu City. It can gather spiritual energy from thousands of miles around, so the area surrounding the city lord's palace is the purest and richest spiritual energy.And because of the presence of dragon sandalwood in the entire city, everyone can breed strong spiritual energy, and ordinary people can also prolong their lives.

When I came to the City Lord's Mansion, I saw Ren Tiancheng frowning and wandering in the living room like a headless chicken.

Seeing Mu Yuanzhen and Yi Yi approaching, he cupped his hands and said, "General Mu, brother Yi."

Mu Yuanzhen and Yiyi bowed back and said, "How did you lose the dragon sandalwood?"

"According to the guard's report, I didn't smell the fragrance when I went to patrol the ancestral hall today. When I went in, I found that the sacred tree was missing! The dragon sandalwood fragrance has been lingering for a long time, and it may have been lost for a day or two!"

"It's been a day or two? Why did you only find out today?" Mu Yuanzhen asked, the imperial court would blame the loss of the treasure.

Ren Tiancheng glanced at Yi Yi in embarrassment, "I usually practice in the ancestral hall, which is extremely safe, but these two days I was injured and bedridden, and I didn't go to the ancestral hall to practice. I was negligent and forgot to re-arrange the guards, which resulted in theft."

Yi Yi was embarrassed for a while, feeling that the loss of the incense had something to do with him, the offerings of the City Lord's Mansion had become Yi Yi's experience points and golden core, and now they were all in his stomach.

"City Lord, I will do my best to help you find Long Tanxiang!" Yi Yi clasped his hands. If this matter had nothing to do with him, he might not take care of it. Since it has something to do with it, Yi Yi will also be responsible to the end.

"Submission release: Find the lost dragon sandalwood, the task rewards 500 task points, and one thousand-year-old dragon sandalwood."

Um?Has the system sent a task?In addition to mission points, the rewards include dragon sandalwood!
"City Master, how old is the dragon sandalwood?"

"For tens of thousands of years, it is a treasure left by an ancient power..."

For tens of thousands of years, the rewards from the system should not be the same.Otherwise, what would happen if you help others find their lost things and then take them away yourself?

This time the side mission didn't give any hints, so Yiyi decided to go to the "crime scene" to do some on-the-spot investigation.

"City Lord Ren, please take us to the ancestral hall, maybe the thief will leave some evidence!"

"Okay, this way please!"

The three of them came to the entrance of a second-floor ancestral hall in the center of the City Lord's Mansion. The surrounding area was originally the room where the City Lord worshiped. Now there are only some clothes in it, and no one is seen.

The ancestral hall has two floors. The Ten Thousand Years Dragon Sandalwood is placed on a tribute platform in the center of the second floor. There are some futons around it. It is a place where people usually meditate and practice.The ancestral hall looks like a tower, surrounded by wooden doors and windows made of paper and wood.

As soon as he entered the ancestral hall, Yi Yi smelled a familiar fragrance, but he couldn't remember where he smelled it, and he didn't go too far from the General's Mansion in the past two days.

"There are no footprints in the house, which shows that the thief is very skilled. When no one comes to the ancestral hall, the doors and windows are locked, so the thief must have come up from the first floor." Ren Tiancheng told all the information he knew Share it.

"Could it be the mansion's servants who stole it?" If he could steal the treasure silently, then he must be very familiar with the environment in the mansion and have stepped on it a bit.

"Probably not. I checked all the people in the mansion the first time I lost it, and the fragrance of dragon sandalwood is overflowing, leaving traces no matter what, but now there is no scent leaking, or it is thousands of miles away from here, Either there's something hiding the scent that's covering up the scent."

Yi Yi also had some troubles, it wasn't someone who stole it, and it couldn't be thousands of miles away, so someone covered up his breath.

"That's right! I remembered!" Yi Yi remembered where he had smelled this fragrance.

"What do you remember?" Ren Tiancheng and Mu Yuanzhen asked at the same time.

"Do you remember the last time Ren Ying and I went to a pub for breakfast? Then I went into an alley to get rid of Ren Ying. I was attracted by a scent, and then suddenly disappeared!"

"Yes, that was the day you left me in the tavern and was humiliated!" Ren Ying gritted her teeth.

"That's what was stolen three days ago! Come, tell me all the people who entered and exited the mansion three days ago!" Ren Tiancheng gave an order to gather all the servants and guards outside the ancestral hall.

"Three days ago, did anyone come in and out of the mansion, and possibly steal the treasure!"

"no!"

"No stranger has been here!"

……

Everyone was talking about it, and suddenly a thoughtful servant said, "If such a big sacred tree can be stolen, I'm afraid the only one who can steal it is the old farmer who delivered the food that day!"

"Old farmer? Tell me in detail!"

"Yes, my lord, three days ago was the day when the mansion bought food and vegetables. Only an old farmer drove a cart through the ancestral hall and sent it to the back kitchen, and there were cloth bags on the cart..."

"It must be the old farmer, where is the old farmer?"

"Live in an alley on the street."

"Let's go!" Ren Tiancheng led his troops to block the exit of the alley. Long Tanxiang couldn't leave the city, so it must still be in the city.

The servants led the people straight to the old farmer's house, and they pushed the door open, only to see an old man lying in the living room: his eyes were dull, there was a deep wound on his throat, and the corpse had already begun to rot.

As soon as Yi looked at the house, there was a cart in the garden outside the house, and there were many traces of wheels rolling on the ground.The old man's throat was sealed with a sword, and the soldiers found several spirit stones on his body. There was an inconspicuous red spot in the center of the spirit stone.

"What is this?" Yi Yi also saw the red dots on the spirit stone.

"Demon Spirit Crystal, it was done by the demons!" Mu Yuanzhen often fought against the demons, so he recognized it at a glance.

"Demon Crystal?" Yi Yi took the Demon Crystal.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting a magic spirit crystal. Demon spirit crystal: a spirit stone that grows in the extreme north of the devil's realm. It has been infected with magic energy all year round and can be used for cultivation."

Can you practice?It's probably the same as the spirit stone here, except that the magic crystals are produced by the demons.

"I didn't expect the demons to enter the city. Send me an order to seal off the whole city and find out the spies of the demons!"

"Yes!"

"Why do the demons want dragon sandalwood?" Yi Yi didn't know what the dragon sandalwood would do to the demons.

"The demons have a tendency to unite with the demons to exterminate the human race. There is a dragon aura on the dragon sandalwood, which is likely to be the condition of the alliance with the demons! And the way to hide the dragon sandalwood's breath is also very likely to be a demon. The demon clan told the demon clan." Ren Tiancheng analyzed that the matter was of great importance, and the theft of the dragon sandalwood was already related to the war between the human race and the demon clan.
