one's door

As for the status, after the boy Li Gui disappeared, there was no spirit to arrive.And after the female ghost disappeared, there will be a spirit coming to investigate thoroughly.It is clear at a glance which of the two is more important.

But the Wu family doesn't know why those soul boys are always changing.For example, this girl only came to the Wu family more than three years ago, and before that, there were two other soul boys.Only the female ghost is always there.

"Wu Yuan has seen the two spirit generals, please forgive me for not welcoming them." Wu Yuan stood up with a smile, and cupped his hands towards the two burly and huge spirit generals floating in the room as a courtesy.

"Master Wu, you don't need to be so polite. We are ordered to come to Langyuan City for a while, and we need to rely on Master Wu's cooperation." One of the spirit generals replied, and the other bowed his hands in return.It can be seen that Wu Yuan is still someone who needs to be taken seriously in front of these two spirit generals.

Because the other party was wearing a visor, only a pair of scarlet eyes protruded from the gap in the anti-arrow slot in a ferocious appearance.Don't even know what it looks like.But a strong sense of oppression will still come from the words.Not to mention Wu Yuan, the girl next to him, Li Gui, had already shrunk his neck and stood in the corner, as if he was still trembling.

"What are the two spirit generals talking about? With such a big incident happening here in Langyuan City, Wu is also worried, wondering if there is another demon attacking. Now that the two of you can come, I am relieved... "

Wu Yuan was not polite to the other party, and he knew that the other party didn't have the time to chat with him.So after a few simple greetings, he consciously entered the topic.He told in detail about the disappearance of Tang Niu, the boy Li Gui, and the female ghost Chu Hongyi.

Of course, the so-called "detailed" is only the set of procedures that Wu Yuan thinks is appropriate.The part about Tang Niu was okay, but the part about Chu Hongyi was almost entirely composed by him.There was no mention of Chu Hongyi's assassination of Zhang Yan.

After some introductions, the spirit general who spoke earlier continued to ask: "Master Wu, according to what you said, before Tang Niu's accident, Chu Hongyi didn't notice any danger, and your yamen didn't receive any Unusual news. Right?"

"Yes."

"After Tang Niu disappeared, Chu Hongyi had reported the news to the 'Wang', why did she go out to investigate without authorization? Did she have anything to say before she went out?"

Wu Yuan pretended to be thinking, thought for a while, then shook his head: "I didn't leave anything behind."

The two spirit generals looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions.For them, just like Chu Hongyi before, they had never encountered anyone else who could threaten them other than those beast-following monsters.So I didn't think much about it elsewhere.And Wu Yuan is also a member of them, and he has been conscientious for many years, and he never thought of the need for any murder or intentional concealment.So I'm going to check it out myself first.

But at the end, I still asked another question: "When I came here, I saw that there was a funeral in the house. Is there something wrong with Mr. Wu's family?"

Wu Yuan sighed, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The evil son of the family got into a catastrophe and was plotted against and lost his life. The old mother was also worried about dying. It made the two spirit generals laugh." Wu Yuan, who hadn't shed it, actually squeezed out a few tears at this time, and his appearance was described as desolate.

Chapter 123 Routines

There are far fewer psychics in the world than ghosts, let alone a high-ranking psychic in charge of a city, so the importance of the Wu family is self-evident.

The death of the only son of the Wu family made the eyes of the two spirit generals turn cold.They don't want the Wu family, which has been gradually pulled together for many years, and now the Wu family, which has been able to stably raise soul children, to die out like this.At the same time, we can also understand some of Wu Yuan's grief from Wu Yuan's desolate silent cry.

It's not enough to feel empathy, but comforting Wu Yuan is a matter of course for the two spirit generals right now.

"Master Wu, I would like to express my condolences. Although the pain of losing a son is difficult, if Master Wu begs the 'king', maybe the king can still have a way to make him continue his bloodline. You can also talk about the rest of the revenge. We are also willing to do our part for Lord Wu to reward him for his hard work over the years."

What Wu Yuan was waiting for was the other party's words.As a spirit general who came to handle affairs, he would definitely get considerable authorization before departure, and he would be regarded as the agent of the "King" walking outside.He knew this very well, so he deliberately made himself look miserable, and let the other party offer help and remedial measures, so that if there were any changes later, he would be less blamed.

However, the matter of continuing a bloodline was really beyond Wu Yuan's expectations.He didn't expect that the other party could help him in this regard.

You must know that while the Wu family has always enjoyed the benefits of special physique, they are also bearing the strange price that each generation can only be passed on as a single person.What's more, Wu Yuan is almost sixty at this time, and he never thought that he could continue a bloodline.Listening to the general's tone now, can the "king" do it?

"Thank you for the generosity of the two spirit generals, Wu Yuan is very grateful!" While speaking, Wu Yuan bowed deeply to the two spirit generals with tears in his eyes.

"Master Wu, you don't need to be polite. We can't do the business of continuing a bloodline for your Wu family. We can only wait for the 'Wang' to help you in person. You don't have to worry about that. As for the revenge of losing your son, Master Wu can tell us something , this time we came here to thoroughly investigate Chu Hongyi's disappearance and help you settle this enmity."

The two spiritual generals were also quite curious.Although they are not often in Langyuan City, they have long been aware of Wu Yuan's influence in Langyuan City, and they have no way to avenge the death of their only son.Could it be that the murderer has a great background?Or is it a warrior with a very high cultivation base?

Ask clearly first, if it is the latter, the two spirit generals will also consider the pros and cons.

"Hey!" Wu Yuan shook tremblingly, then said sorry that he was unwell, and then sat back on the chair, showing his exhaustion.

Then Wu Yuan told the grievances between his son and Zhang Yan in detail.For the most part, no cover-up has been added.He also bluntly said that the reason was that his son took over the other two shops in order to seek money and kill him, but the luck of the other party made him come back and he didn't die immediately. Instead, he went to the western frontier to defend Yubei Mountain. The means can turn around...

"This son not only has Zhou Cang, the city guard of Langyuan City, as a shelter, but also Luo Changshan, who has a good relationship with people of miscellaneous learning, and I am afraid that he may also get on the line with Shi Xuan, the commander of the Eastern Army. Moreover, he has a cunning and insidious mind. He knows some weird tricks. My son was harmed by him..."

Wu Yuan started to sob in the middle of the speech, as if he was extremely sad.

In fact, more than half of these words have been said, and there are still some things that have not been finished.For example, how did Wu Yuan be sure that the man named Zhang Yan was the murderer who killed his son?Is it because the other party left something behind that hasn't been cleaned?And what is the other party's so-called "weird method"?None of this was said.

However, the two spirit generals did not continue to ask questions.Firstly, they feel that the details are irrelevant, as long as the other party is not some advanced martial artist, there is no possibility of threatening them.Even if there are some weird tricks, it's impossible for the two of them to make mistakes together.Secondly, it was also because they saw that Wu Yuan's mental state was really bad, and the grief was beyond words, so it was not appropriate to continue asking.

"Master Wu needs to pay more attention to his body. Let's rest early. We will report the situation here to the 'Wang'. Afterwards, the 'Wang' should hear back. You can just wait with peace of mind.

It's not too late, Logan, you go back to the well and stay, don't come out without us. "Ling Jiang decided to start an investigation immediately, and at the same time arranged for the girl ghost to go back and hide.

Wu Yuan stood up again, seeming to have calmed down, cupped his hands and said, "Then I wish the two generals every success!"

After arriving at the door of the study, the expression on Wu Yuan's face gradually calmed down.Ignoring the girl ghost that was brought back to the well, I went back to the house alone, feeling a rare peace in my heart for many days.Secretly thought that he should be able to sleep well tonight.

……

The night in Langyuan City is quiet, even on the streets lined with flower buildings, no pedestrians can be seen on the road, only the lights can be seen from the windows, and some blushing words and shouts can be heard.

From time to time, you can see government servants patrolling the streets with lanterns, as well as guard soldiers patrolling in formation.Their faces were also relatively relaxed, mainly to see if anyone ran out to violate the curfew, or thieves were stealing.

Of course, Langyuan City is so big that patrols alone cannot protect the safety of all places.The meaning of deterrence is greater, and the actual effect is different.

The two spirit generals did not stay longer in Langyuan City, they crossed the city wall and went straight to the mass grave outside the city.

"There is no scent of hunting spirits. It should be cleaned regularly according to the time. It is very clean."

Compared with Tang Niu who was slowly searching the mass grave before, these two spirit generals had already smelled the result all the way up the mountain, and they were sure that there were no ghosts other than them in this mass grave.This met their expectations.

After that, he quickly found the huge pit that was left when Tang Niuhun exploded.

Unlike those garrison soldiers and yamen servants who still found nothing after checking, the two spirit generals understood what happened here the first time they saw this big pit.

"Although it has been a while, there is still a very subtle smell of the spirit explosion. According to the size of the pit, it is also in line with Tang Niu's previous spiritual thickness. It can be determined that he has exploded the spirit, not missing. "

"Tang Niu is a soul boy, and he doesn't know how to take the initiative to explode the spirit. Even Chu Hongyi doesn't know it. So this must have touched the key to Tang Niu's spirit explosion set by the 'Wang'. Hiss...someone is trying to pass Tang Niu Spying on information about the 'King'?!"

Combining what they knew and the facts in front of them, the two spirit generals came up with a possibility that made them feel extremely frightened.This is a bigger and more serious matter than the reappearance of the goblin.

"No, this matter must be reported as soon as possible, maybe that person is still staying in Langyuan City?"

"It's not necessarily still there, and it may be injured and escaped. After all, even you and I can't resist Tang Niu's power to explode the spirit of a soul boy. But it's better to report first as you said."

Chapter 124 Clues

Soon, the two spiritual generals discussed a result: first report the situation here, and then make plans.

How to report?Could it be that he ran back?Of course it won't be that troublesome.As ghosts, or as "spirits", they have their own unique ways of delivering messages.In this point alone, it is definitely not comparable to a living person.

I saw one of the spirits spread his palm, and the palm quickly wriggled like a worm, and a thumb-sized soul body separated out, forming a very strange shape with wings and a body like an earthworm.Then, as soon as he raised his hand, the thing flew away, and the speed was a bit faster than ordinary messenger birds.

This method is called in the "spirit": sound transmission soul worm.It can realize the function of delivering messages similar to pigeons thousands of miles away.Its "worm body" flies at night, burrows into the ground during the day and continues to sneak until it reaches the destination, while also taking into account the responsibility of carrying information.Chu Hongyi also used this method to send messages to the "Wang" before.

But what the two spirit generals didn't know was that the sound-transmitting soul worm they threw out was killed by a palm-sized strange flying beast just two miles away from the mass grave where they were. down.No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get away from the slightly fluorescent teeth of the flying beast.It's just that the flying beast didn't use much force, and there was no sign of damage on the sound transmission soul worm.

The flying beast slid a certain distance, crossed the top of Langyuan City, and stopped in a small alley under the city wall, and it landed on the shoulder of a long-haired young man in a white robe.

"Hehe, soul worms? They came here for a reason. Tsk tsk, fortunately, they didn't do anything before. Come, let's see what news they want to report to the worm king."

After muttering a few words to himself, he saw the young man stretch out his hand and put his finger on the top of the flying beast's head, and then there seemed to be some kind of connection between the man and the beast, and a burst of blue light came from it. There was a flash in the young man's eyes.

"Huh?! Exploding spirit? A spirit boy exploded? There is also a 'spirit feed' missing? Is this Langyuan City so weird?" After muttering again, the young man patted the flying beast. The latter let go of the mouth that was biting the sound transmission soul worm, allowing the soul worm to flap its wings and fly again, and disappeared in an instant.

Then the young man turned and walked into the shadows no longer to be seen.

……

The background of the mass grave can be seen at a glance, and the two spirit generals did not stay there much.All the way back to Langyuan City.

"It's all here, go and see the Zhang Yan that Mr. Wu said. If you can do it, I will do it tonight." If you really want to wander around Langyuan City, it's not a problem in normal times. Ming Ling will have the confidence.Even if they face to face with Zhou Cang, the city guard here, they are not in vain of the opponent's blood rush in the opening state, and even if they really want to fight, they are confident that they can kill each other.

But at this time and at that time, there may be other existences in Langyuan City.An existence that didn't die on the spot in front of Tang Niu's three-year-old method of exploding the soul of a soul boy.What if the other party not only did not die, but even retreated?Is there such a possibility?The two spirit generals felt that although this possibility was not high, it was definitely possible.

So, don't wander around, just wait for the "king" to reply.But it's okay to deal with Wu Yuan's grievances casually to show that he takes them seriously.After all, that Zhang Yan is just an ordinary person, at most he knows some miscellaneous methods.It's normal for Wu Yuan to feel weird, but he's powerless in front of spirit generals like them.Pressing the mouth and nose casually can smother it to death.By the way, you can also pick two mouthfuls of raw souls to eat.

An easy and pleasant thing to do.

According to what Wu Yuan said before, the two spirit generals drifted west of the city along the main street.They didn't notice at all that there was a smart figure in white robe hanging far behind them, and it was so cloudy and foggy that it was impossible to tell whether it was a human figure or not for a while.

"It's here. The courtyard of the Zhang family is easy to find."

"Do you want to just do nothing and keep going, how about killing the Zhang family? Anyway, this thing was done for Wu Yuan, isn't it considered indiscriminate killing?"

"Hehe, it's really not indiscriminate killing if you say that, it's just revenge for Wu Yuan."

"hey-hey."

The scarlet eyes under the masks of the two spirit generals seemed to be filled with smiles.But just when they arrived at the old gate that Wu Yuan was referring to, the gate opened inexplicably.A young man in plain clothes came out from inside, walking forward with a blank expression.

"This... Zhang Yan?"

"Well. The only man in the Zhang family with sound limbs is Zhang Yan. It must be him now. Where are you going in the middle of the night? Sleepwalking?"

"Go, follow up. Get rid of him first."

"it is good."

Little did the two spirit generals know that inside the door they didn't open, there were already four beans rapidly inflating into four burly armored warriors.If they broke in just now, the armored warriors would stop them, and Zhang Yan, who seemed to be sleepwalking outside the door, would turn back and form a double-team attack on them.

The two majestic generals approached, and Zhang Yan happened to be sorting out his gains and losses in refining the Biqing Pill on the bed after alchemy, but he didn't sleep well.So when the two spirit generals first entered Zhuzui Lane, he had already sat up in shock.

Compared with the ghosts, so the ghosts that Zhang Yan met in the wild sky, their evil spirits are definitely not as strong as those of these two spirit generals.Even Zhang Yan felt that it could hardly be called a fierce ghost, but a ghost cultivator that absorbs the yin energy of the world and cultivates with the method of ghosts as mentioned in the Longhushan classics.

In an instant, Yiru lifted away the slightest sign Zhang Yan had noticed from the female ghost before, revealing the truth behind it.Let Zhang Yan understand that the Huangtian Territory is not as deep as he thought at the beginning, and he can let him play casually. Just a ghost word, there are ways to practice with Taoist monks in the Huangtian Territory .

Because there was no preparation in advance, Zhang Yan could only improvise.On the one hand, four bean soldiers were asked to live and kept at home, leaving two as an ambush to hide temporarily, and the remaining three were carried with him.Then he pretended not to know and left the house, looking for an open place to lure the other party away.If not, it can also form a double team to take the lead.

As for if the fight is not as expected, Zhang Yan will not care about exposing his means and combat power.If you have to, let's fight and watch.

Fortunately, the other party did not choose to break into the house or divide the troops into two groups, but followed Zhang Yan to chase after him.This made Zhang Yan feel relieved.After all, the aura of the two ghosts alone was very important. Even with a few bean soldiers as defenses, Zhang Yan was not sure whether he could protect his family in the chaotic battle.Now that he successfully lured the other party away, he naturally lost his biggest worry.

Chapter 125

Although Zhang Yan has not been able to practice any of the five elements of escapism at present, and is limited by the realm of cultivation, it is not enough to reach the threshold of practicing escapism, but this does not prevent him from integrating some theoretical aspects of escapism. Into his own movement, so that his god walking is no longer as clumsy as it was at the beginning, but has an elegant taste.

This had shown its effect when he was fighting the ghost boy in the mass grave before, and when he was saving the female ghost in red not long ago, at least it made him no longer restricted by his body skills when facing ghosts with speed and erratic movement.

At this time, Zhang Yan's figure was agile, and he didn't pull to the big water well in Zhuzui Lane and set up a blind eye to fight like last time. This time, he ran all the way quickly, and ran out of Zhuzui Lane directly by the night, and arrived at Zhuzui In an old alley that is more remote behind the alley.There is an old collapsed house here, no one lives in it, and the location is too remote, no one buys it, and the walls are leaking, so even the beggars and homeless people on the street are not interested in coming here.

This side is more spacious, and there is no need to worry about bumping into those night watchmen or soldiers. Combined with Zhang Yan's blindfold, the chance of being caught by someone is much smaller.Zhang Yan can also let go of his hands and feet.

In fact, Zhang Yan knew very well in his heart what his greatest advantage was when facing the two ghosts who followed behind him all the way.It's because the other party doesn't know anything about him.

Just like the female ghost in red before, it didn't even know that Zhang Yan had discovered her long ago when it came to Zhang Yan's side, and it was directly made docile by Zhang Yan's counterattack, and finally was firmly held by Zhang Yan. Transcendence, returning to heaven and earth, also earned Zhang Yan a great merit.

The female ghost didn't know Zhang Yan's details, and thought he was an ordinary person, so she took it lightly.Then the two ghost cultivators who followed Zhang Yan and even hid their whereabouts were naturally impossible to know that Zhang Yan had seen through them and still thought that they were in the dark.

Therefore, although Zhang Yan felt that he would not have an advantage if he confronted the opponent head-on, he was still confident that he could use a roundabout way to obtain the latter two great merits.

Daoist monks, besides the talismans and magic spells they are good at, the most famous one is the array.The blinding magic circle that Zhang Yan used before is one of them.

Generally speaking, arrays need to be arranged in advance, or there are things like array boards that can be thrown out and used. It is not a means that can be used to see tricks or deal with encounters.

But Zhang Yan now belongs to the "no one knows" way in Huang Tianyu, so far only he knows his methods, and others, or other ghosts, don't know anything at all.

So although Zhang Yan's feet moved quickly, his hands were not idle.When he entered the range of the dilapidated house where no one was living, he majestically took out pieces of talisman paper from his pocket and pasted them on a half-fallen wall, or on a broken beam, or looked at Seemingly still on the ground at will...

They are all simple talismans, including Suppressing Evil, Fire Spirit, Blind Eye, Requiem... There are seven types in total.They were all things that Zhang Yan had been preparing after he realized that the Wu family was a psychic bloodline and colluded with ghosts at the same time, and now it seems that they are indeed just in hand.

The characteristic of talismans is that they generally do not have active functions.It's like a knife placed on the ground. Maybe you think it's inappropriate when you see it, but you don't think that the knife will fly up and stab you.

It's like the mood of the two spirit generals who are following Zhang Yan now is inexplicable.They followed all the way, originally thinking to get closer and use brute force to find a way to kill Zhang Yan, and then return to Zhang's house, the whole family died neatly, and let them have a full meal by the way.But when he ran, he realized that Zhang Yan was extremely fast. Even if they were spirit bodies, at full speed, they could only hang their tails, but it was difficult to intercept them, let alone intercept them.

At this time, the two spirit generals couldn't help but looked at each other, and thought tacitly in their hearts: Zhang Yan is indeed not an ordinary person as Wu Yuan said!He is obviously not a warrior, and he doesn't have the surging energy and blood of a warrior, but his aura and soul are very strong, and he should also have some special means, just like this kind of erratic body, he is by no means a warrior. combat skills.

In addition to the erratic and fast running of Zhang Yan, the two generals were even more puzzled by the fact that after Zhang Yan turned into another more remote alley, he began to inexplicably take out pieces of yellow paper the size of half a palm from his arms Pasting everywhere, there are always incomprehensible patterns drawn on those yellow papers.There were some yellow papers that made the two spirit generals subconsciously feel uncomfortable after looking at them, and even wanted to move their eyes away, as if those patterns were inherently disgusting to them.There was also a tinge of strange power they had never felt before that seemed to haunt the little pieces of paper.

"What is he doing?"

This question increasingly occupied the hearts of the two spiritual generals.But soon another question came up.That is, although Zhang Yan's speed was so fast that they could barely keep up, after arriving in this lonely alley, he did not continue to move forward or move in a certain direction, but circled around in a strange way. circle.Strange pieces of paper were pasted in a mess as they went around.

"He seems to have stopped. Why am I not feeling right?"

"Well. It's not right. Do you feel that there seems to be some strange change around here. I hate this feeling."

"Don't wait any longer, go up first, kill him before he stops."

Obviously it should be an easy and enjoyable hunt, but it should turn out to be a full meal.But the two spirit generals suddenly felt that they were the trapped beast that fell into the trap. Now they stopped and stood still, and Zhang Yan, who took out a strange long sword of copper coins from nowhere, was standing on it hunter.

The best advantage of the divine mantra is that it does not need to be cast forward, nor does it require any gaps in casting. It only needs to be activated by the aura, and it can be recited anytime, anywhere, and it can produce immediate effects.

Of course, the magic spell buffed by the five-coin sword is more powerful than empty words, and every syllable can be transformed into golden marks, irregular but densely packed areas that cover Zhang Yan's perception and thoughts Slowly enveloped.

What is affected is not only the imprint of "Jingtiandi Shenmantra", but also the talismans that Zhang Yan's mind moved, one after another began to burst out with power and form a magic circle.
