After listening to Zhou Shen's narration, Liu Wuxie kept tapping the table with her right index finger.
"Young Master, what should we do next?"
Seeing that the young master was silent, Zhou Shen asked in a low voice.
This time I asked the Young Master to come here mainly to deal with matters in the Mist Territory, and it was up to the Young Master to make a decision.
Who would have thought that something like this would happen as soon as the young master arrived in Qiyu.
He has always been responsible for the affairs of each domain, large and small. If he cannot handle it properly, he will have no shame in staying with the young master.
"We'll wait until their identities are clear."
Liu Wuxie stopped tapping on the table and signaled Zhou Shen to calm down.
Before the matter is investigated clearly, he will not alert the enemy.
"But the Zengyuan Pill in this porcelain bottle was indeed sold from our Pill Pavilion. Even if they are not sent by Xuanlin Pavilion, how can we resolve it?"
Zhou Shen didn't know what the young master was thinking. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the inner hall.
"The medicinal properties in these elixirs have been taken away in advance. No matter how much you swallow, you will not be able to increase your cultivation. On the contrary, if you swallow too much, it will damage the domain spirit energy in the body."
Liu Wuxie took out an elixir and after crushing it, the medicinal properties deep in the elixir seemed to have been drained away by some mysterious force.
"this……"
Seeing this scene, Zhou Shen's mouth opened wide.
"This is impossible. Who has the ability to remove the medicinal properties from the elixir out of thin air?"
Zhou Shen's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
From the outside, there is no change in the Zengyuan Pill. Only after it is crushed can some clues be found.
"I'm going to go out and argue with them. They even used discarded elixirs to slander our elixir pavilion."
Zhou Shen was so angry that he wanted to argue with those three people. He dared to go to the elixir pavilion to cause trouble. He was really impatient.
"It's useless. Even if you can prove that all the medicinal properties in it have disappeared, how can you prove your innocence? Since they dare to come, they must have taken every precaution."
Liu Wuxie shook his head.
The first task is to find out who has the ability to take away the medicinal properties of the elixir through the air.
Even if he can't do it himself, this person is definitely a top master.
Zhou Shen fell into silence. The young master was right. The other party just insisted that the elixir was bought from the elixir pavilion and did not know about the disappearance of the medicinal properties. The elixir pavilion could not explain it at all unless the reason for the disappearance of the medicinal properties was found.
"Young Master, have you thought of any countermeasures?"
After Zhou Shen calmed down, he asked the young master.
"Just now you said that Xuanlin Pavilion has networked with a lot of masters, but is there anyone special?"
It's easy to break the situation. These three people must be being used by others. As long as they are suppressed forcefully, they will definitely be forced to tell the truth.
If we want to prevent similar things from happening in the future, we need to get rid of the people behind the scenes.
Zhou Shen closed his eyes and carefully recalled what had happened in the past few months.
"There really is a special person!"
Zhou Shen opened his eyes suddenly, and every time he thought of that person, he got goosebumps all over his body.
"explain!"
Liu Wuxie asked him to continue.
"A few months ago, an old man and a young man came to Qiyu. The old man was three feet tall and the child was only about one and a half feet. He was holding a monster that looked like a monkey but not a monkey. As soon as he entered Lincheng, he caused a lot of confusion.
People pay attention to them, mainly because they are too eye-catching. I have seen many dwarfs over the years, but this is the first time I have seen one like this. The old man's eyes were filled with fierceness, and the monster that looked like a monkey but not a monkey was riding on
On the children's shoulders, they grinned at the passers-by around them. Soon after, they heard someone say that they had joined Xuanlin Pavilion."
Zhou Shen told everything he saw and heard.
Whenever I recall the old man's fierce gaze, I can't help but feel a thump in my heart.
Liu Wuxie searched his brain, but he had never heard of such a character. He was probably an ancient antique who had never been born before, or he had practiced some kind of evil skill.
He was not very interested in the old and the young, but the monkey-like monsters riding on the shoulders of children.
"Can you draw that monster?"
Liu Wuxie needs to know more information.
"I still remember about 70% of what it looked like, so I should be able to draw it."
Zhou Shen thought for a while, and there were still some impressions of the monkey-like monster in his mind.
Immediately take out the paper and pen and quickly draw a portrait according to the memory in your brain.
"Young Master, this is what that monster looks like. It's just that ferocious appearance. I can't describe it. I can only draw it to this point."
After Zhou Shen finished the painting, he pointed at the monster above and said.
Looking at the portrait in front of him, Liu Wuxie fell into deep thought.
"Master, aren't these the legendary Five Sacred Beasts? They are also called medicine beasts. They feed on elixirs. The most important thing is that the Five Sacred Beasts do not eat elixirs, but like to devour the medicinal properties in elixirs."
After pondering for a moment, Su Niang's voice sounded in the master's ears.
The five holy beasts have long since disappeared. Where did they find these young and old people?
"Young Master, do you recognize the origin of this monster?"
Zhou Shen asked tentatively.
There was a strange look in the young master's eyes just now, and he obviously recognized the origin of the monster.
"These are the five holy beasts. They like to devour the medicinal properties of elixirs. They are ancient mythical beasts that have become extinct long ago. The identities of the old and the young are not simple."
Liu Wuxie pointed at the portrait and said to Zhou Shen.
"I understand, young master, what you mean is that the medicinal properties in the Zengyuan Pill were devoured by these five holy beasts, and then they blamed our Pill Pavilion. Their Xuanlin Pavilion is too shameless."
No matter how stupid Zhou Shen is, he still understands the reason behind it. All this is indeed the fault of Xuanlin Pavilion.
Liu Wuxie said nothing, sat back in her seat, closed her eyes and meditated.
"Young Master, now that it's clear, let's go directly to Xuanlin Pavilion to ask for an explanation."
Zhou Shen couldn't hold himself back. After saying this, he would summon the experts and go to Xuanlin Pavilion.
"Do you have evidence?"
Liu Wuxie opened her eyes and asked Zhou Shen.
"Didn't the young master just say that these five holy beasts can swallow the medicinal properties in the elixir?"
Zhou Shen asked in confusion.
"If you don't kill the snake, you will be harmed by it. There is no complete evidence. If you come to the door like this, it will be easy to fall into the trap of the other party. Maybe they are waiting for us to come to the door to argue."
Liu Wuxie squinted his eyes, and a cold murderous intention flashed from the depths of his eyes.
If you dare to take advantage of his property, don't blame yourself for being ruthless.
"With the strength of the young master, we can simply destroy Xuanlin Pavilion. Now that troubled times are coming, everything depends on strength. Although Xuanlin Pavilion is strong, it is only limited to the Qi Region. In the eyes of the major super first-class sects in the Central and Three Regions
, that’s a bigger ant.”
Zhou Shen asked puzzledly.
Zhou Shen knew very well why the young master had a decisive character in killing, but now he has become indecisive.
"The old man and the young man will never appear in Qiyu for no reason. I suspect that there are other people behind the scenes. Xuanlin Pavilion may be just a chess piece."
To prevent Zhou Shen from being impulsive, Liu Wuxie could only explain.
"Young Master suspects it is the seven ancient aristocratic families!"
Zhou Shen finally understood why the young master chose to endure.
If the seven ancient aristocratic families are behind the scenes and don't handle it properly, it's really easy to fall into the other party's trap.
certainly!
With Liu Wuxie's current strength, he is naturally not afraid. He is mainly worried that the seven ancient aristocratic families have some insidious and cunning methods.
That’s why Liu Wuxie said just now, if you don’t kill a snake if you hit it, you will definitely be harmed by it.
Since you want to kill him, then kill him and turn everything upside down, leaving no one alive, so as to avoid future troubles.
Once someone slips through the net, once he leaves, he will definitely take crazy revenge on the Pill Pavilion.
Liu Wuxie didn't explain, which was equivalent to acquiescing.
The fact that I have developed in a small area will definitely not be hidden from the seven ancient aristocratic families, and they will definitely send people to cause trouble.
"Elder Zhou, we have investigated the origins of the three of them."
The young man who was sent out by Zhou Shen before quickly entered the inner hall, took out the investigated information and handed it to Zhou Shen.
"I understand, go down!"
Zhou Shen took the information, glanced at it briefly, and then handed the information to the young master.
"Young Master, as expected, these three people joined Xuanlin Pavilion a month ago. Before that, they were mercenaries in the mountain city, specializing in killing people and selling goods. It happened to be that when I was investigating just now, I met someone.
The caravan passing by Mingshan City happened to know the origins of these three people."
There was a hint of murderous intent in Zhou Shen's eyes, and he wished he could rush out right now and kill these three people.
"Let's get out!"
Liu Wuxie stood up and walked towards the outer hall.
The three people were still sitting there, and it was obvious that they were a little absent-minded.
Who would have thought that the people from the Pill Pavilion would just leave the three of them hanging here.
They don't dare to smash them, but there are experts in the Pill Pavilion.
"Mr. Zhou, the time has come. Is it time for your elixir pavilion to give us an explanation?"
Seeing Zhou Shen, the three of them immediately stood up and spoke forcefully.
"Huang Yi, aged thirty-two or twenty-four, coveted the appearance of his sister-in-law. He personally killed his elder brother while he and his sister-in-law were sleeping, and raped his sister-in-law. Afraid of being discovered, he burned the bodies of his brother and sister-in-law.
Finally, he fled to a mountain city to hide his name, joined a bloodthirsty mercenary group, killed people and bought goods every day, and committed all kinds of evil."
Zhou Shen did not answer the three of them, but picked up the results of his investigation and said to the oldest man.
Although the people around them didn't understand what was going on, they could tell that the Huang Yi mentioned by Zhou Shen was one of these three people.
When he heard that the truth was revealed, a trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the man named Huang Yi.
Zhou Shen ignored it and continued:
"Wang Niudan, a gambler by nature, owed a lot of gambling money. Because he couldn't pay it back, he mortgaged his sister. Later, the creditor came to your door. In order to survive, you personally pushed your parents out to block the knife for you. In the end, your parents died tragically.
Next, you took advantage of the chaos to escape and disappeared without a trace. I didn't expect that a few years later, you would also join the bloodthirsty mercenary group."
The entire elixir pavilion was filled with deathly silence.
Who would have thought that these people could be so vicious and vicious.
Either he kills his brother, his sister-in-law, or he kills his parents. Such people should not live in the world.
The condition of the last person was not much better. The three people's faces were ashen. In just half an hour, Zhou Shen investigated their details clearly.
"Zhou Shen, even if you find out our identities, what can you do? You just admitted that these pills were sold to us by your pill pavilion. How do you explain this?"
Huang's face darkened. As expected, he has been walking on the edge of life and death all year round. He can still keep his expression unchanged in the face of so many people pointing fingers. He is really a ruthless character.
