After the Xuanmen boss retired

In Wu Qingxi's study.

Xie Yu saw the map of the city of crossing the catastrophe, this picture is very detailed, the location of the city of crossing the catastrophe is clear at a glance.

Wu Qingxi has been the ghost king of the city of crossing the catastrophe for hundreds of years, and thinks that he has absolute control over the city of the catastrophe.

Not to mention that almost all the ghosts in the crossing city exist because of him. Except for the ghosts imprisoned in the prison, most of the ghosts in the crossing city recognize Wu Qingxi as their king.

Li Zhong said: "The city of crossing the catastrophe is under our control, how could the thief be hiding in the city."

Xie Yu: "This is called darkness under the lamp."

He looked at the map carefully, calculated with his fingers, and circled a few locations on the map, "What are these places for?"

Wu Qingxi said: "The one to the north is where the bones of the soldiers and civilians who died in the battle to defend the city were buried. The one to the west is a prison, where the souls of the traitors and enemy soldiers who betrayed us were imprisoned. There used to be a temple in the southwest , and then it was deserted, and some homeless and lonely ghosts came to take refuge in the city of crossing and gathered there."

Seeing that Xie Yu circled these places on purpose, the others asked him if there was a problem.

Xie Yu said: "Go and search."

Wu Qingxi personally led the ghost generals to search, and Li Zhong, Lianxiang and other ghost servants were also dispatched.

Xie Yu and Fu Mingxing went to the west, and Ji Jiangqiu and two Xiantai disciples followed them.

Fu Mingxing understood Xie Yu and asked him, "Did you have something to say just now?"

When Ji Jiangqiu and the others heard the words, they also looked at Xie Yu.

Xie Yu: "I don't think Wu Qingxi would have thought of it. They were calculated from the very beginning."

The two Immortal Terrace disciples didn't understand: "How can you tell?"

Ji Jiangqiu said, "It's the female corpse."

Xie Yu glanced at him appreciatively: "That's right, it's that female corpse. It's impossible to find such a perfect substitute for killing people on a temporary basis."

Fu Mingxing continued: "The female corpse's bones, face and date of birth are all very similar to Mrs. Wu, and she was specially selected to replace Mrs. Wu."

The two Immortal Terrace disciples snorted, "Doesn't that mean that Wu Qingxi and his wife have been targeted from the very beginning?"

Xie Yu: "It's not only Mrs. Wu who was targeted, but also Wu Qingxi. The sudden betrayal in the city was most likely related to the man in black."

Fu Mingxing: "This is a very big game. According to this speculation, the purpose of the man in black is for the current situation, but why did he do this?"

Xie Yu: "We can only find out about this if we find him."

The two Xiantai disciples said: "Then he is hiding in the city, so he is not afraid of being discovered by Wu Qingxi."

Ji Jiangqiu thought for a while and said, "The man in black should have his own power. Maybe it was not an accident that we suddenly encountered that ghost outside the city."

The two Xiantai disciples were a little confused.

Xie Yu and Fu Mingxing figured it out, the man in black had been watching them secretly, perhaps because Xie Yu's fortune-telling on the street and every hexagram was accurate made him feel threatened, so he deliberately brought in the disciples of Xiantai from outside the city , Let them conflict with the city of crossing.

Xie Yu: "If we hadn't kept a hand, he would have really succeeded."

Ji Jiangqiu glanced at him. Indeed, it was just "this hand" that surprised him. The magic weapon that Xie Yu took out was covered, so he couldn't see what it was, but it was definitely not easy to have such a great power. thing.Ji Jiangqiu not only guessed in his heart what kind of background Xie Yu came from, but was Tianjimen really a little unknown sect?

The two Xiantai disciples understood: "You mean that the man in black has been secretly monitoring every move of you and the General's Mansion?"

Xie Yu nodded.

Two Immortal Terrace disciples: "Then, wouldn't he know what we are doing now?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Xie Yu's face.

Seeing his smile, the two Immortal Terrace disciples suddenly understood: "You were lying just now..."

Ji Jiangqiu shouted, "Shut up."

The two Immortal Terrace disciples came to their senses and quickly shut their mouths.

Xie Yu folded his hands and said, "Just follow me in a while."

Ji Jiangqiu was a little worried: "Won't you tell Wu Qingxi about this?"

Xie Yu smiled, "He knows."

When he was in the study just now, while others were not paying attention, Xie Yu asked the little ostrich to slip a note into Wu Qingxi.

The little ostrich stood on Xie Yu's shoulder with its head held high, this was its credit.

Ji Jiangqiu and the others couldn't see the little ostrich, so they didn't know how Xie Yu did it, and they felt that Xie Yu was full of mystery.

Xie Yu said to Ji Jiangqiu and the two Xiantai disciples: "In a while, you go to the west as usual, and I will let the two puppets follow you, remember not to reveal your secrets."

Ji Jiangqiu, who was immediately regarded as a tool man: "..."

The two Immortal Terrace disciples were both speechless and surprised, wondering how capable Xie Yu really is.

A group of people were walking, and when they turned the corner of the street, Ji Jiangqiu felt a slight fluctuation of spiritual power around him, and then the auras of Xie Yu and Fu Mingxing changed. It's a little stiff, and the facial features are a little awkward, as if the person who made the puppet was too lazy to draw carefully, so he drew it perfunctorily.

Needless to say, the two here are puppets.

Ji Jiangqiu's eyes changed slightly, his face remained calm, and he continued to go west with the two puppets as if nothing had happened.

On the other side, Xie Yu and Fu Mingxing, who broke away from the team, hid their figures under the cover of the mirage of the little ostrich, and went in another direction, which was the civilian area in the city.

After entering the civilian area, the atmosphere is more depressing than on the street. There are no flourishing flowers adorning it, and every house is very quiet, with almost no human voices heard.

Xie Yu: "This is the atmosphere of a ghost town, much like Honghe Ghost Village."

Most ghosts like to be quiet, and those who like to be high are a minority after all.The residents of the city of crossing are able to maintain a clear mind, most of them are due to the enchantment of ghosts here. After leaving the city of crossing, those with deep obsessions may still be able to stay awake, and those with a little obsession can easily fall into confusion. until dissipated.

Fu Mingxing: "Hiding in a residential area, it is not easy to avoid Wu Qingxi's eyes, unless he was already a part of the city before it became a ghost city, so he can escape the interrogation naturally."

Xie Yu: "So what we are looking for is not the man in black, but the man who is not a ghost but pretends to be a ghost."

The little ostrich immediately said: "Didn't it mean that he is probably a ghost cultivator?"

Xie Yu: "Originally, I thought so too, but I have other thoughts about Mrs. Wu's matter. It can be regarded as an intuition. It is more likely that the man in black is a human being."

Fu Mingxing said: "Then how to identify it."

Xie Yu: "It can only be taken by surprise."

……

Ten minutes later, a huge talisman suddenly appeared above the residential area.

Under the shroud of the talisman array, the residents of the crossing city were all panic-stricken, showing the appearance of a fierce ghost, and naturally they would emit a ghostly aura.

"At this."

Xie Yu and Fu Mingxing stood on a high place, surveying the residential area, and soon found a house with a faint ghost aura, but a strong yin aura.

Xie Yu immediately put away the talisman array, and rushed towards the house with Fu Mingxing.

The two jumped into the house, and found that it was an ordinary house on the surface, no one was there, but there was a yin gathering array on the floor of one of the rooms, and it was this yin gathering array that made the house look Exactly like most haunted houses.

There are obvious traces of life here, and it can be seen that people have always lived there.

Fu Mingxing: "He's not here."

Xie Yu: "With such a big commotion, even if he was lured away, he should be back by now."

But now there is no movement at all. Could it be that he made a mistake?

The little ostrich suddenly moved its nose, pointed to the bedroom and said, "There is something in that room, I smell a very fragrant smell."

Xie Yu and Fu Mingxing entered the bedroom, which was very simply furnished, with a bed, a wooden cabinet with double doors, a table and a chair by the window, with teacups on the table, and nothing else.

Xie Yu said to the little ostrich, "Did you smell it wrong?"

The little ostrich said: "I'm sure I smelled it right. I've never smelled this fragrance before. It has a power to confuse people's hearts."

Fu Mingxing: "Since it can be seen on the surface, it should be hidden in a dark place. There may be a secret door in this place."

The two started to search, and according to the source of the little ostrich's smell, they found the wall behind the closet. They moved the closet away, groped for a while, and found something similar to a mechanism.

There is a restriction on the organ, it is very complicated, and one can feel that the person who imposed this restriction has a higher level of cultivation than Xie Yu and the others.

Xie Yu: "To forcibly break the restriction, you can only use the power of the seal, but it may alarm the man in black."

Fu Mingxing: "We won't be able to get in without cracking it, so I bet he won't be able to catch up."

Xie Yu thought it was right, so he took out the seal and urged the force of the seal to break the restriction forcibly.

The moment the restriction was broken, the room shook, and then a door slowly appeared in the middle of the wall, and a thick darkness poured out from inside.

Xie Yu backed away subconsciously, and quickly pinched a talisman under his nose.

Fu Mingxing also held his breath. The cultivation base of Jindanqi can hold his breath for a long time, and it will not be affected for the time being.

Xie Yu: "It's so thick and dark. This thing feels more uncomfortable than a ghost, and I don't know what it is."

The little ostrich said: "That deceptive fragrance is coming from here, but although it smells delicious, I don't think it's a good thing."

At this moment, Xie Yu felt that there were eyes watching them from outside the room, and immediately shot a talisman in that direction.

"Ah!" After a scream, a ghost turned into green smoke and dissipated.

Seeing this, several other ghosts wanted to escape, but Wu Qingxi who suddenly appeared opened his mouth and swallowed them.

A gust of gloomy wind blew, and Wu Qingxi appeared in the house, looking at the dark secret passage, with an ugly expression on his face, "This is it?"
