This sound was very strange. It didn't sound like the sound of any musical instrument, nor a natural sound, nor a human voice.
Just like the autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, the rustling sounds gather together to form waves of sound, rising and falling one after another, turning thousands of times, making people lose their concentration for a moment.
But soon, the sound stopped abruptly.
The look of pain on Nan Wang's face gradually disappeared, and he became very peaceful. He sat cross-legged on the spot, then closed his eyes and turned into a lifeless corpse again.
A wisp of black air flew out of his Tianling Cap, but the medicinal power of the "Zhuquan Water" disappeared and turned into black smoke, which was scattered by Liang Yan.
"Unfortunately, death is like a lamp going out. Even with our methods, we can only detect a few abnormalities before his death, but cannot restore the entire experience." Wei Wuming sighed.
"Having said that, we have some clues." Liang Yan glanced at the dead body lying on the ground and said calmly: "Now it is certain that his obsession was not accidental, but that he heard some kind of sound while practicing the technique.
, causing him to lose his mind and become almost crazy, so he became possessed."
Wei Wuming glanced at Liang Yan and suddenly smiled: "If there is anyone in Nanxuan who can make others go crazy with just their voice without using magic, I am afraid that only the monks from Yuzhu Mountain can do it."
"What? You suspect he is mine?" Liang Yan frowned slightly.
"Until the truth is found out, Wei will not rule out anyone's suspicion, but at least I believe it was not Liang Shuai's doing. Because Liang Shuai has been training in the martial arts field in the past few days, I know this
.”
"Haha, your information is quite good." Liang Yan said calmly.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward, Gui Wuqi immediately smiled and said: "You two don't have to be suspicious of each other, you are both people I can trust. Regarding this matter, I hope that Liang Shuai and Wuming Gongzi can work together to find out the truth.
.”
"It's just the death of a few foundation-building and Juyuan-level monks. Is it worth the trouble?"
Although Liang Yan said this, he looked at Wei Wuming, as if he wanted to observe his reaction.
Wei Wuming smiled slightly and said: "The wind rises at the end of Qingping, and the waves form between gentle waves. Now the North-South War is about to break out. At this time, any slight change may turn into a violent storm, and Can Ke has to
cautious."
"You are not from the Wuchen Army, how do you know so much? I guess you are here well prepared. If you want to cooperate, you might as well tell everything you know." Liang Yan still did not give in at all.
"Liang Shuai is indeed a smart man, and I can't hide anything from you. Yes, in fact, a similar thing happened in the military camp where Wei was located. I came to visit Gui Wujiu this time to discuss other matters, but I accidentally learned from him
I didn’t know the current situation of Mr. Wuqi, so I came secretly to find him, but I didn’t expect that Liang Shuai was also there.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Yan's sea of consciousness resounded with a message from Gui Wuqi: "This man is the only casual cultivator among the four young masters of Nanxuan. He was born in Tianshui Mountain and has now joined the Shenxiao Army in Shenxiao Mountain.
"
After hearing this, Liang Yan nodded slightly and asked, "How many monks in the Shenxiao Army are there who are possessed by such evil spirits?"
"There are nine people in total." Wei Wuming replied.
"There are so many?"
Liang Yan frowned and muttered: "Wuchen, there are people in both the Shenxiao and Shenxiao armies who went crazy at the same time. It is definitely not an ordinary thing. These monks have different origins and had almost no interaction before their death. It should not be a private vendetta."
"Is it Beiming's traitor?" Gui Wuqi suddenly said.
"Since the war between the North and the South, there may be traitors sneaking in, but those who can lead others to go crazy with music should at least have the cultivation of Zhenjun Tongxuan, but why would such a person embarrass some juniors? This is not good for them
What’s the point?”
"this"
Gui Wuqi also can’t figure it out.
Indeed, even if there is a traitor, he should do everything possible to sneak into the top brass of each army to spy on the intelligence of the army. Killing some low-level monks like this will not do any good at all except possibly exposing himself.
Wei Wuming slowly spoke at this time: "Seemingly bizarre things often have reasonable explanations behind them. The reason why we are confused may be because our starting point is wrong from the beginning."
"Oh? I wonder what brother Wei has to say?"
"We can't talk about high opinions. Maybe we can change our thinking."
Wei Wuming reached out and knocked on his wheelchair, and said slowly: "Suppose the traitor did not kill for the sake of killing, but inadvertently caused these people to go crazy while performing some kind of activities. If you think about it this way,
Can many problems be solved easily?"
"good!"
When Gui Wuqi reminded him, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"We have indeed fallen into a misunderstanding. How could a person with such means have trouble with some low-level monks? The death of these monks may not have been the person's original intention, but he did it unintentionally while carrying out certain activities."
"Then a new question comes." Wei Wuming added: "Assuming that this person is using the magical power of music, what is his purpose? Also, there are so many masters in Nanxuan's army. If the person behind the scenes didn't intend to kill him,
These low-level monks, why didn't all the masters notice it, but only these low-level monks heard the sound?"
"yes!"
The more Gui Wuqi listened, the more confused he became, and said to himself: "If his voice was made unintentionally, then the monks in the foundation building stage can hear it, but we can't hear it? Unless he concentrates the sound into a line and specifically gives it to this person.
Several monks listened, but in that case it was not unintentional, and it returned to the previous question: Why did the dignified Zhenjun Tongxuan, maybe even the ancestor of Huajie, kill these monks in the foundation building period?"
"I wonder what Commander Liang thinks?" Wei Wuming suddenly looked at Liang Yan.
Liang Yan couldn't help but laugh when he heard his question: "The unknown Taoist friend is very confident, but he comes to take a test against Liang?"
"Liang Shuai is joking, Can Ke just wants to hear your thoughts."
"That's fine."
Liang Yan nodded and said slowly: "Actually, I think the inference of the unknown Taoist friend is very reasonable. Assuming that the culprit is Bei Ming's work, no matter what his purpose is, he should not kill these monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage and Juyuan Realm.
, what’s more, these low-level monks are scattered all over the place and don’t know each other. It doesn’t look like they were intentional, but more like an accident that happened while performing some kind of activity.”
"Then how to explain that only these low-level monks heard the sound, but none of us masters heard it?" Gui Wuqi frowned.
"There is only one explanation, and that is that these dead monks all have some similarities!"
"Similarities?"
"Yes, you can regard this similarity as a prerequisite for hearing the sound. Only monks with this special condition can hear the sound, otherwise they will not be able to hear it no matter how high their cultivation level is."
"Will such a bizarre thing really happen?" Gui Wuqi asked doubtfully.
Liang Yan smiled slightly: "As the unknown Taoist friend said, after eliminating all unrealistic inferences, no matter how incredible the rest is, it is the truth of the matter."
"I didn't say that." Wei Wuming half-smiled.
"That's what you think." Liang Yan said calmly.
"Weird thing!"
Gui Wuqi looked at the two of them and couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart.
How come they feel like they have an unspeakable tacit understanding even though they were tit for tat a moment ago? It's like two old friends who have known each other for many years are reviewing a certain chess game together, but they themselves have become an outsider.
"Cough cough cough!"
Wei Wuming suddenly coughed violently, as if he was suffering from an internal injury. He quickly took the wine gourd from his waist and drank a few sips before he calmed down.
"Fellow Taoist Wuming, are you okay?" Gui Wuqi asked worriedly.
"It's an old problem. Just have a drink and it'll be fine. It won't bother you."
Wei Wuming waved his hand and said slowly: "There are a total of sixteen people from Wuchen Army and Shenxiao Army who have gone crazy. Our top priority is to find out what similarities these sixteen people have, and then from these
If we start to break through the similarities, we will definitely be able to get to the bottom of things.”
After saying that, he took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and handed it to Liang Yan.
"This is some information that I searched by myself. It records the detailed information of the nine members of the Shenxiao Army. It can be used to compare with the seven members of the Wuchen Army."
Liang Yan reached out to take it and unfolded it. It was indeed information about nine people. It recorded in detail their magical powers, origins, living habits, daily magic weapons, magic weapons, and even the actions they performed after joining Nanxuan.
Tasks and recent activity tracks are clearly written.
"Fellow Taoist is really attentive." Liang Yan sighed with emotion.
Gui Wuqi came over and added the information about the seven people from the Wuchen Army to the bamboo slips. Although it was not as detailed as Wei Wuming's record, it still roughly described the situation of the seven people clearly.
"Judging from the information on this bamboo slip, there seems to be no similarity between these sixteen people."
While inspecting it, Gui Wuqi sighed: "The magical powers and techniques they practice are all very different. Some practice Taoism, some practice demons, and some have different origins in body training. I have never met each other before.
You can’t even hit it with eight poles.”
Liang Yan did not speak immediately, but stared at the contents on the bamboo slips and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he suddenly frowned and said, "No!"
"What's wrong?"
Liang Yan pointed his hand at the bamboo slip, "Fei Dan from Wuchen Army went to Fengxiang Slope half a month ago, and Yu Lie from Shenxiao Army also went to Fengxiang Slope five months ago."
"Isn't Fengxiangpo the territory of Wanshou Mountain?" Gui Wuqi pondered: "But this doesn't mean anything. Only two people have been there, maybe it's just a coincidence."
"Otherwise, it might be a coincidence in normal times, but now that we know the results, it can be inferred that there must be a connection between the sixteen people, so any similarity is suspicious." Liang Yan said slowly.
"Brother Liang is right."
Wei Wuming also nodded and said: "These two people, one is in the Wuchen Army and the other is in the Shenxiao Army. They have both been to Fengxiangpo. I think there must be some kind of connection. Unfortunately, I only had information about the Shenxiao Army before, otherwise
Don’t ignore this.”
"Where is Fengxiangpo?" Liang Yan asked.
Gui Wuqi thought for a while and replied: "As far as I know, Fengxiangpo is the territory of Wanshou Mountain, but it is not a place where military camps are stationed. It is just a place where spiritual beasts are raised and spiritual medicines are cultivated."
Liang Yan also recalled the scene when he followed Liu Changshou into Wanshou Mountain that day, nodded and said: "Yes, I have also been to the territory of Wanshou Mountain. There are indeed many places where various natural materials and earthly treasures are planted.
But these heavenly materials and earthly treasures are all used to raise spiritual beasts."
"Then the question comes." Wei Wuming said slowly: "Yu Lie and Fei Dan belong to the Shenxiao Army and the Wuchen Army respectively. What is their purpose in going to Fengxiangpo?"
"Maybe it's because they all raise spiritual beasts and want to go to Fengxiangpo to purchase some spiritual materials to cultivate spiritual beasts?"
"Haha, Mr. Wuqi, don't forget that the highest level of cultivation of these people is only in the Juyuan realm, and most of them are still in the foundation building stage. Could it be that the spiritual materials they need cannot be purchased in our army, and they have to go all the way to Wanqi?
Go shopping in Beast Mountain?"
"That is to say"
"That means there's something wrong with their spiritual beasts!"
A flash of light flashed in Liang Yan's eyes, and the next moment, everyone's eyes were focused on a blue cloth bag on the waist of the corpse, which was the spirit beast bag of "Nan Wang" during his lifetime.
"If our inference is correct, then there must be something fishy in Nanwang's bag of spirit beasts."
"But, I checked before and the spirit beast bag is empty."
"Fellow Taoist didn't pay attention to this before, so he only checked it in general, which is easy to miss. Besides, the spirit beast bag is empty, which itself is questionable."
As Liang Yan spoke, he raised his hand to cast a spell and took Nan Wang's spirit beast bag into his hand.
As the skills in the body were running, the mouth of the spirit beast bag opened spontaneously, and a faint wisp of green smoke floated out.
"It's the remnant soul of the remnant soul beast!"
At this moment, Gui Wuqi's eyes were filled with surprise and admiration, "You two are really amazing! I've been checking for half a month and haven't found out the situation. You guys haven't even come out of the cave, and you've made progress while talking and laughing.
.”
"Young Master Wuqi is joking. If it weren't for the information you provided, Liang would have been unable to do anything."
As Liang Yan spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed, and the remnant soul immediately let out a shrill scream, and then disappeared into thin air.
"Did you hear that? This spirit beast, like its master, went crazy before it died. The difference is that its owner just went crazy, while the spirit beast exploded directly after its death, leaving no trace at all.
"
"Well, it seems that what these sixteen people have in common is that they have all raised some kind of special spiritual beast. Don't worry, Commander Liang, this matter is not difficult to investigate. I will summon their army commander now to report this matter.
Let’s ask the matter clearly.” Gui Wuqi said in a deep voice.
"Then I'll have to thank you, Mr. Liang," Liang Yan said with a smile.
"Please wait a moment, both of you."
Without saying a word, Gui Wuqi hugged the two of them, turned around and left the cave, and flew towards the Wuchen Army's camp again.
There were only two people left in the cave for a while.
"Fellow Daoist Liang."
Wei Wuming glanced at Liang Yan, smiled slightly and said, "The spirit beast in Nanwang has been dead for many days, and its remaining souls are also in pieces. The way fellow Taoist can put these soul fragments together is not an ordinary method."
After hearing this, Liang Yan's eyes showed a hint of vigilance.
"What does this guy want to express? Could it be that he has seen the origin of the 'Soul Seed Technique'? Impossible, this is the magical power of the demons. Even I don't know the origin. Could it be that he knows something?"
