Murong Bai patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, their conspiracy has surfaced. When we tell His Highness, they should be completely wiped out in the next two days!"
Li Xin'an calmed down his turbulent mood and said: "Brother Quan, I want to take away these cases. Is there any problem?"
"Take away the case sect?" Quan Wanqiu was dumbfounded, looking at this large pile, and said:
"How did you carry so much away?"
"Tie them into two bundles. Bai Momu and I can carry them."
Quan Wanqiu looked embarrassed, "In Jingzhao Mansion, whether it is a case or a document, if you want to take it out, you must have the approval from the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion or the three provinces and six ministries. No one can take it out without the approval. This is Qian Shichang's decision
There’s nothing I can do about it.”
"It's Qian Shichang again." Li Xin'an didn't frown, "Why does this Jingzhao governor seem to be against us everywhere!"
"It's just a coincidence." Murong Bai sighed, "What are you going to do next?"
"I originally wanted to show these cases to the two seniors Yousanina, but since it doesn't work now, there is nothing I can do. I will go to the two seniors tomorrow. If they find out about the Immortality Cult in Yonghefang,
Location, then we will notify His Highness to deploy troops to encircle and suppress it. If not... we can only investigate slowly."
"But you still have time to check slowly, there are only three days left in ten days!"
"Then what else can we do? We can't turn Yonghefang upside down." Li Xin'an said with a bitter smile.
"Now my mind is completely confused. I was originally going to investigate who killed Song Yuanfeng, but I was poisoned. I asked someone to remove the poison, and the Immortality Cult was involved! Now there are more than 500 children kidnapped by them.
Right in front of me, I don’t have much time! Neither of the two things can be accomplished. I really wonder if I am a waste..."
He stood up and patted the dust on his buttocks. He felt that his face was unbearably dry, and the traces of sweat had already firmly adhered the dust to it. The three of them were all disgraced.
"Brother Quan, let's take our leave now."
Li Xin'an clasped her fists and said goodbye. Quan Wanqiu said "hmm" and said, "Be careful!"
He sent the two of them out of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen and watched Li Xin'an and Murong Bai disappear into the night. Quan Wanqiu stood quietly for a while, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.
He is old after all, and his time has passed. Now there are younger and better young people than him who are doing greater things than what he has done.
The cold wind blew, and Quan Wanqiu shivered. He felt a little cold, so he wrapped himself in clothes, shook his head and turned around to go in.
What Quan Wanqiu didn't know was that almost at the same time he turned around and went in, a person jumped out from the eaves of Jingzhao Mansion and rushed towards the direction where Li Xin'an and the two left.
Li Xin'an and Murong Bai parted at the street corner, and they agreed that Murong Bai would come to him at nine o'clock tomorrow.
He did not go back to the inn first, but went to the residence of Yosang and Nina, but he saw that the house was dark, the door was tightly closed, and the two had not returned yet.
Something bad flashed through Li Xin'an's heart. Yousang and Nina had been away for almost a day and they hadn't returned yet. It was really abnormal.
He started back to the inn, lay on the bed, put his arms behind his head, and couldn't fall asleep for a while.
There was a question constantly in his mind, and it was still the question that he still couldn't figure out:
Who is the Gu master who killed Song Yuanfeng?
…
At around nine o'clock the next day, Murong Bai arrived as promised and knocked on Li Xin'an's door.
The young man covered in quilt turned over and held his head tightly with both hands, trying to weaken the annoying and rapid knocking on the door.
Seeing that there was no movement in the house, the man outside the house might not be able to bear it anymore, so he kicked out and kicked the door open.
Li Xin'an was shocked, and his consciousness suddenly came to his senses.
The "white rainbow" placed next to him turned into a stream of light and struck the person who came, but was stepped on by someone in an instant.
"My good master!"
Murong Bai looked bitter and resentful, gritted his teeth and said, "Did you forget something?"
"Baitou..." Li Xin'an looked at Murong Bai, blinked blankly, and then slapped his forehead to react.
"It's time?"
"At three o'clock, I have been waiting for you downstairs for a long time. When you didn't show up, I came up to look for you. Why are you still sleeping!"
Li Xin'an looked at Murong Bai who was gritting his teeth and said with a smile: "Forgot, forgot..."
He quickly got out of bed, got dressed, and washed himself.
"I went to look for the two seniors after we separated last night, but it seems they haven't come back yet."
Li Xin'an called Murong Bai downstairs, took two Huoshao from the shopkeeper, and handed one to Murong Bai.
"Are the two seniors in danger?" Murong Bai took the fire and took a bite.
"I don't know." Li Xin'an shook his head, "The two seniors said that they went here just to inquire about the news, and they would try not to fight with the people of the Immortality Sect if they could. But they left for a day and still didn't come back.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I'm afraid something unexpected happened."
The two people walked out of the inn and walked towards the residence of Yusannina and his wife. The two places were not far apart and they arrived in a short time.
What reassures Li Xin'an is that their door is now open.
"It seems everything is fine." Li Xin'an smiled.
Yousang stuck his head out from above and looked down at the two of them, looking a little weak.
"Come up." Yusang said.
Li Xin'an and Murong Bai looked at each other and walked up the stairs.
Yousang sat on the chair with a tired look on his face. Li Xin'an looked around the room and saw only him.
"Senior Yousang, where are seniors Nina?" Li Xin'an asked aloud.
Yousang didn't answer, and looked pitifully toward their bedroom.
Li Xin'an followed his line of sight and looked at the room where they used to remove the poison from themselves. The door was tightly closed.
He felt a thump in his heart and thought something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked: "Senior, Senior Nina... but something unexpected happened?"
Yousang nodded, "She was poisoned, so I took it out. Whether she lives or dies next depends on God's will."
"What happened yesterday?" Li Xin'an asked with stern eyes:
"Senior, you are a high-ranking second-grade Gu Master. Who can hurt Senior Nina under your nose? Is there a first-grade Gu Master in the Immortality Sect?"
"No, no, but there are five second-grade Gu masters, eighteen masters of the Tang Dynasty who were infected by human poison, and more than twenty dead people controlled by corpse poison."
Yousang lowered his eyes and said: "That day, as you said, Nina and I found the dilapidated street behind Yonghe Square. It was already sunrise, and I planned to hide there and wait until night to act.
But Nina said it was a dangerous move, so it would be better to sneak in and search during the day."
"I was persuaded by her, thinking that the remnants of the Immortality Cult would relax their vigilance during the day, so I walked in with Nina in a big way."
"We put on makeup like beggars so that we don't stand out in this slum. Many people come out to do activities during the day, so it's easy for us to hide ourselves."
"But what makes us strange is that the people inside always look at us strangely. I think they talked to us, but they ignored us until one person came to us."
"I could tell at a glance that the man had the smell of Gu. This is the smell that only people who have been around Gu for a year will have. He asked me if you have any guides. This is unique to southern Xinjiang.
The name, the guide is the teacher who teaches the Gu art. I knew that I had already touched the edge of the longevity religion, so I answered that we didn't, and that I came here because of my admiration."
"The man asked us to follow him, so we followed him excitedly. He led us to a courtyard and let us go in by ourselves."
"That courtyard was very weird. I could clearly sense that there were a lot of poisonous insects in it, but I thought this was their main altar. It was normal to have poisonous insects, so I didn't feel suspicious and walked in with Nina."
There was deep self-blame on Yousang's face. He grabbed his hair and his eyes were red.
"I didn't expect that it wasn't their headquarters inside, but an ambush!"
"As soon as we entered the courtyard, the person outside closed the courtyard door and locked it from the outside. I sensed something was wrong, and just as I was about to leave, two Gu masters attacked from the darkness."
"Of course they are no match for Nina and I, but those two Gu masters controlled more than twenty corpses possessed by corpse Gu. They rushed out of the house, howling and rushed towards us."
"I never told you that corpses infected by corpse poison will not be tired and will not have any hindrance in their movements. On the contrary, they will be more agile and faster than ordinary people. The most terrifying thing is that even if you cut them in half
, their broken limbs will continue to attack you until you are bitten into a pile of rotten flesh. To kill them, you can only kill the corpse Gu in their bodies."
"But there are a lot of poisonous insects in the body of the corpse. In addition to protecting the corpse, it is also a big trouble for us. We are here to find out the news, and we don't have many poisonous insects with us. There are more than twenty
, it was very difficult for us to deal with it, and Nina even released her own natal Gu."
"We killed more than a dozen corpses, thinking that our whereabouts had been exposed, so it was better to leave as soon as possible. But the courtyard door behind us was opened, and three more Gu masters walked in from the outside. They took nine people with them.
The martial arts masters who have been poisoned by human beings are here to surround and kill us."
"People who are infected by the human poison will not have their consciousness cannibalized, but their bodies will be controlled by the poison and completely obey the orders of the poison master. They will kill innocent people indiscriminately, deceive their masters, destroy their ancestors, and kill their entire family. They can only watch and watch.
They are watching, but they are powerless, not even able to die! The most important thing is that the cultivation level of the people who are poisoned by the poison will not decline at all. On the contrary, because of the human poison, they will also be fed back by the human poison, and their strength will be reduced.
Go up a level."
"Among the nine people, there are three second-grade middle-ranking ones and six second-ranking first-ranking ones. We got into a fierce battle. Nina and I were separated by them. I dealt with the human poison, and she dealt with the corpse poison."
"Because of this, I couldn't rescue her. The human Gu Master who was supposed to be trapped by me suddenly escaped and appeared next to Nina. Nina couldn't avoid it, was injured by him, and planted
insanity."
"That's the poisonous green ant in the epileptic poison. It's almost a fatal poison. I
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
When I found Nina, she had already passed out. I rushed to her side with all my strength, picked her up and took her out. Naturally, those Gu Masters tried their best to block her, and finally I killed three of them and escaped."
"I hid in a house, knocked them unconscious, and used my natal poison to poison Nina. It took a whole night before she got better."
Yousang sighed: "In the end, I couldn't find where their headquarters is."
"It doesn't matter, senior. No one expected that they would see through your identity. As long as senior Nina is safe," Li Xin'an said.
"They can tell who I am, and I'm afraid that the other party has a Gu Master who is not weaker than me."
"Is the Immortality Cult so powerful?"
"Of course they are not weak. When the Immortality Sect was in its heyday, it was even more popular than the Five Poison Sect, and many first-level Gu Masters in southern Xinjiang joined it. Although they were eventually wiped out, it is not unusual for one or two descendants to remain outside.
."
Murong Bai said: "Since the two seniors have returned without success, we still can't find the main altar of the Immortality Sect, so we can't talk about annihilation. What should we do now?"
Li Xin'an muttered: "If that doesn't work, I'll go to His Highness and ask him to mobilize troops to dig up three feet of Yonghefang. I don't believe we can't find it!"
"No!" Murong Bai shook his head decisively and objected.
"Zhang Quan came here when you were taking the poison. He said that His Highness Li Chu was involved in a copy by Yang Guozhong because of the deployment of troops to surround Iron Flag Gate, which implicated the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot afford to be ill, and now His Highness Li Chu is angry and looking for someone.
Vent, if you go now, I’m afraid you won’t have to wait another three days before you lose your head.”
Hearing the news about Murong Bai, Li Xin'an looked pained and wanted to cry but had no tears.
"It's over!"
"Actually, there is another way." Yousang said suddenly.
"Senior, is there any way to find out the headquarters of the Immortality Sect?" Murong Bai looked surprised.
"Since we can't find it ourselves, it's not difficult to ask their people to take us in." Yousang said, "I'll go there again tonight, catch someone from the Immortality Cult, and force him to take us in."
Li Xin'an interrupted him, "Senior, no! You have just experienced a big battle. You cannot use force again in a short period of time. It is only right to take care of senior Nina."
"But Senior Yousang, your words gave me an idea." A sinister smile appeared on Li Xin'an's face.
"We can't take the initiative, but we can wait and wait."
"Waiting and waiting?" Murong Bai and You Sang both looked confused.
Li Xin'an explained: "The purpose of the Immortality Cult is to kidnap children to refine the Immortality Gu. However, they have not made any big movements until now, which means that the Immortality Gu has not been refined yet, and their actions of kidnapping children will not stop and will continue.
.Today and tomorrow, they will take action."
"You mean, we just need to find a child born in a yin year, yin month, yin day, and yin time, and wait there for someone from the Immortality Cult to deliver it to our door?"
"Correct answer!" Li Xin'an smiled.
"It's too unrealistic!" Murong Bai objected, "You have to know, with the millions of people in Chang'an City, how many children are born on the yin year, yin month, yin day, yin day! Even if the Immortality Sect has been entrenched here for more than 20 years, it is consistent with the situation.
There are still too many children with their conditions! How are you going to find them!"
"When every child is born, the birthday and birth date will be recorded in the book and handed over to Jingzhao Mansion. We go to Brother Quan to ask for it. We only need to find the children who are nearly twelve years old, and then cross out the names of the children abducted by the Immortality Cult one by one.
With Yonghefang as the center, it is not difficult to guess their trajectory and next target."
Yousang was moved by his words, "This is indeed a good idea."
But Murong Bai still had doubts, "But you can't predict when they will take action. Maybe they won't take action again for a while, so what should you do? You only have three days!"
"Three days to hell!" Li Xin'an scolded, "Your Highness, don't worry about it for now, the Immortality Sect's affairs are the most important right now! After three days, it's impossible for Your Highness to come and take my head in person."
"But how long can you delay it?" Murong Bai advised, "His Highness doesn't know about the Immortality Sect yet. You might as well tell him about it. Once such a big case is solved, it will be of great benefit to His Highness."
Normally, His Highness is reasonable and will give you time, you..."
"That's wrong!" Li Xin'an suddenly said, interrupting Murong Bai's words.
"What's wrong?" Murong Bai was surprised and felt that what he said was correct.
"I'm not talking about you." Li Xin'an murmured, "Bai Mumu, let me ask you, why can we know the birth addresses of these children?"
"Didn't you say that Jingzhao Mansion has their household registration?" Murong Bai didn't understand why Li Xin'an asked such a question.
"Yes, we have connections with Jingzhao Mansion, so we can know which children in Chang'an City were born in the yin year, yin month, yin day, yin day, but the Immortality Sect has no foundation or background. How did they know?"
"Those more than five hundred children, how did the Immortal Cult find them?"
