After the immortal disappeared

Jing Jing was unconvinced: "Yes, yes, what did I say wrong?" I was actually lectured by a kid of seventeen or eighteen years old!

"The most powerful force in Lingxu City has been ignored by you?"

"Ah?" Jing Jing asked curiously, "Which one?"

"God."

"...Ah!" Jing looked ashamed.

He Lingchuan said calmly: "Bai Ziqi, who was out on business, was directly ordered to take charge of this case. Just seeing how hasty the appointment was and how quickly he came, we knew that the Demon Emperor probably did not discuss with all parties and directly issued the order. Otherwise, ten days and a half would be enough. There’s no end to it. If there is a real struggle between all parties, the gods will undoubtedly win this time.”

"Is it because the elixir is involved?"

"Well, Xiang Yan once said that the elixir is the reverse scale of the gods. He has been punished by thunder and wrath for this matter before." He Lingchuan shrugged, "It doesn't seem strange to do it again."

"We must find out the attitude of the gods, it will be very beneficial to us." He added, "The gods also want to get to the bottom of the matter of privately refining the elixir, which coincides with ours! What else is there, big or small? No, it might save us a lot of trouble."

"As soon as Wu Kai confesses, Cen Boqing will have nothing to do." Jing Jing asked him, "What trouble do we still have?"

"Why not?" He Lingchuan sighed, but did not go into further details, "But you are right about one thing. If Bai Dushi takes over the case, then the pressure from Lingxu City will mainly be transferred to his shoulders, haha , he can handle it, which is great news for us.”

Thinking of this, he breathed easier.

…

When He Lingchuan returned to the inn, Bai Ziqi was questioning Wu Kai again.

Because of his previous cooperation with the investigation, Wu Kai also had enough food, took two pills, changed his clothes, and his physical condition improved greatly.

When Bai Ziqi entered the cellar, Wu Kai was holding a large basin of chicken soup and gurgling.

This is an old hen stewed with crucian carp for a long time. The soup is milky white, the meat is rotten and the bones are crispy, and there is a strong peppery flavor.

Wu Kai fled for many days and was tortured for two more days. Now he is in urgent need of nutrition.

He was willing to take the risk. He was going to die sooner or later, so it was better to eat and drink well now.

"What method does Cen Boqing have to escape from the house without being noticed?"

He Lingchuan simply asked: "Last time, how did you rescue Cheng Yu from under my nose?"

Wu Kai put down the soup bowl and wiped his mouth: "There is a treasure in Cen Mansion called Xili Dongtian, which is about the size of a palm. It was bought from Songyang Mansion. It is solidified with mustard seed technology, and as long as it is activated by Xuan Crystal, It can hide living creatures in the cave for half an hour, but the same person cannot hide in it twice within two hours, otherwise the body will collapse due to the compression of the mustard seed technique."

"Mustard Seed Technique!" He Lingchuan knew it was bad news when he heard the words "Songyang Mansion".

On the way to Xiazhou to take office, He Chunhua met Li Qingge by chance. He took out a small model of a courtyard and threw it on the ground to become a real house. People could be accommodated to keep out wind and rain, eat, sleep and play cards.

She made it clear that this magical ability to contain foreign objects has limited size and weight, so it cannot be used in logistics marches.

But it won't be a problem to get people in.

The mustard space she uses for herself is of course the best, with evergreen trees inside, and there are not so many restrictions on the entry and exit of living people; and Cen Boqing's Xili Cave Heaven is obviously a reduced version.

He Lingchuan said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me before?"

It seems that Cen Boqing's previous attempts to break out were all done by building a plank road to let Fu Shanyue know that he was still in the house and lower his guard. It was not until the crisis really came that the two men crossed Chencang secretly.

This guy named Cen is not as good as everyone thinks.

Wu Kai looked innocent: "I didn't know he knew how to use it."

Bai Ziqi thought further: "Even if he and Cheng Yu hide in Xili Cave, they still have to find someone to take this magical weapon out of the house." Otherwise, if this magical weapon remains in the house, it will be found by officers and soldiers sooner or later. .

Don’t forget, the statute of limitations is only half an hour. "Besides you, who can Cen Boqing trust the most in the house?"

"Groomman Lao Chen." Wu Kai said without thinking, "His wife had an emergency and almost couldn't survive it. It was the wife who personally asked a famous doctor to take action. Lao Chen is grateful and has been doing his best for Cen Boqing and his wife. Cen Boqing will definitely use Lao Chen to drive him when he goes out."

"Go to Cen Mansion, find this person, search and question him."

Bai Ziqi turned around and ordered, and one of the guards turned around and left.

He asked Wu Kai again: "Besides Xili Dongtian, what other strange magical weapons does Cen Boqing have hidden in his body?"

Wu Kai thought for a while: "He wears a ruby ​​ring on the ring finger of his left hand, which can release two wolf puppets. This is made from two tundra wolf kings. It has copper skin and iron bones, great strength, and no pain. This was made by the earth from the year before last. A gift from the Hun Messenger."

"There is also a rhizome of an exquisite precious fruit. As long as it is buried in the soil and watered, it can grow into a fruit tree within two quarters of an hour. Each fruit can feed one person. Depending on the fertility of the soil, each tree can bear dozens to two hundred fruits. Fruits. Fruits can be stored.”

Bai Ziqi exclaimed: "He has quite a lot of private goods. These are best used when marching or in exile."

Wu Kai said two or three more things in succession, and then said: "That's probably all he brought out from Lingxu City."

He Lingchuan was convinced after hearing this. Cen Boqing was worthy of being a noble master from Lingxu City, and the treasures he took out were all of high quality. These were only the ones he brought with him, the ones he actually left in Lingxu City were the bulk of them.

Bai Ziqi's face was pale. With his extensive knowledge, he didn't think these were anything special: "No more? If you think about it carefully, are there any secret treasures that are too hidden to be seen?"

Wu Kai thought about it for a long time before shaking his head: "That's all I know."

As soon as he finished speaking, a crescent-shaped amulet around his neck snapped.

Wu Kai felt this, and took out the token given to him by Fushan Yue from his arms. He saw the token glowing red, and his Yuanli did not know when it would activate on its own.

"Cheng Yu has started work." He Lingchuan coughed, "This man is really unyielding and has to kill you."

"It's Cen Boqing who insists on killing his old servant." Bai Ziqi looked at the broken amulet, "This man is very good at spells. You have several magical powers and magic circle protection, and he can still break the amulet. "

He Lingchuan pretended to ask: "Shouldn't they be busy escaping now? How come Cheng Yu still has time to do something?"

"That means Cen Boqing is very confident that we can't find him." Bai Ziqi took a breath, "They may have fled to a place they thought was safe, and Cen Boqing couldn't wait to curse the witness - he didn't even know I was here. , and reviewed Wu Kai."

If the Lingxu City envoy did not come and Wu Kai died at the hands of Fu Shanyue, then no matter how he confessed during his lifetime, the Cen family could deny it - just say that it was a false confession.

Therefore, Cen Boqing is still obsessed with silencing him.

Bai Ziqi glanced at Wu Kai: "Whether this person is dead or alive, it won't hinder the progress of the case."

But Wu Kai was afraid: "Cheng Yu can curse the king of a country to death, but I'm afraid you can't protect me!"

He Lingchuan was secretly amused. Cheng Yu's best achievement, the so-called "curse to kill the king of a country", was actually with the help of the power of the Hundred-faced Nightmare, right? Although he didn't quite know how Bai Mian did it, the power of this monster did remain fresh in his memory.

Cheng Yu alone might not be able to accomplish such a feat.

Bai Ziqi took out a jade-carved Ganoderma lucidum from his arms. It was very finely carved, about the size of a thumb, and exuded a warm white halo.

"This is the heart-cleansing talisman that has been blessed by the gods in the Star Reaching Tower. It can make the wearer immune to all evil." As soon as this thing was taken out, the three people present immediately felt relaxed and happy, and even breathed easily, "Buyi Cheng Yu is just a mere Spells, not to mention.”

Wu Kai swallowed his saliva as he looked at the Heart-dissolving Talisman.

Although he knew that he would die when he returned to Lingxu City, life became precious once the countdown began, and he did not want to die in the limited time.

Besides, the process of being cursed was too painful. He had experienced it before and didn't want to do it again.

"C-can you..."

Bai Ziqi smiled and said: "Your previous confession was not entirely true. If you tell the truth, I will give you the Heart Purification Talisman."

Wu Kai was startled: "I, everything I said is true."

"You said you don't know who is refining the elixir in Qingfu Temple. That's impossible." Bai Ziqi said calmly, "The business Cen Boqing and you are doing is very risky, and they both keep their heads in their belts. How are you doing? Maybe you can’t figure out who your superiors are, so you continue to cooperate with them?”

Wu Kai said: "This has been like this since Master Cen's time. He wouldn't let us interfere, saying that knowing too much would bring disaster."

Bai Ziqi chuckled: "The work you do will not lead to disaster?"

Wu Kai smiled bitterly: "I really don't know."

Bai Ziqi studied his expression carefully, as if to judge the authenticity of his words, and then said: "Then tell me, why did you recruit a evil star like Mai Xuewen to work under you?"

"Ten years ago, I went to Yaoshan to do business and was hit by a flood. Fortunately, Mai Xuewen rescued me. He said that he was also a homeless outlaw and was framed by traitors in the Mang Kingdom. After killing his enemy, he went into exile in Bejia. I’m doing some business overtly and covertly, which makes me a little depressed.”

"I have been traveling with him for more than two months. Seeing that he has good cultivation and a righteous person, I invited him to work in the white sandy Numata Township."

He Lingchuan crossed his arms: "You welcome the tiger in so easily?"

"It's not that fast. I asked him to run serious business in Numata Township, and there was nothing shady about it. After observing him like this for three years, his business profits have increased a lot. I saw that he is indeed capable, and his tone of voice He was worried and gradually felt relieved, so he asked him to take care of the pearl pearl business in Chiyan Kingdom. The group he was responsible for always completed the task the fastest and best, and didn't cause any trouble. Mozhi, I became more and more reassured about him, so I relaxed my vigilance and let him know some things..."

Speaking of this, Wu Kai let out a long sigh: "How could I know that this is the disaster star coming to our door?"

It sounded to He Lingchuan that Wu Kai was careful enough. After observing a person for more than three years, I decided to let him get in touch with the core business.

It's a pity that he met the weirdo Mai Xuewen.
