When the time has completely passed.
The sound of the watch has disappeared, leaving only the bamboo clapper and the gong falling to the ground, silent.

Chapter 124 Defects in Certain Aspects【3k】
At dawn the next day, Fang Ling and Lin Jindao went out together. Before going out, he met the flower girl and said that there were not enough vegetables at home, so she asked Lin Jindao to buy some vegetables. Lin Jindao agreed.
At that time, the two of them stood together and talked softly. Fang Ling felt that he was farther away. He quietly looked at the scene in front of him and felt... very harmonious.
But when Hua Niang wanted to hand some silver coins to Lin Jindao, Lin Jindao shook his head and refused, saying that there was no need to be so open-minded. However, Hua Niang insisted and refused to give in. Lin Jindao looked at each other, and Lin Jindao was the first to lose. After the battle, I had no choice but to retreat.
After walking out of the alley, Lin Jindao actually bought vegetables and was still bargaining with the vendors. Fang Ling saw this and felt that Senior Brother Lin had a lot of experience in this matter, because often in the end, those vendors were ruthless. He willingly accepted the bargain.
After Lin Jindao put all the vegetables into the space ring, he explained with a smile: "Originally, I didn't know much about these things. Hua Niang taught me this. Although I can buy them all, the ones I use belong to Hua Niang after all. Naturally, you can save money as much as you can.”
Fang Ling nodded and asked, "Senior Brother Lin, how did you meet Hua Niang?"
Lin Jindao said softly: "When I first arrived in Youdu, I saw her being made things difficult for protecting a few children. The reason was that those children were suspected of stealing things. I saw that they were not lying, so I took action for her. I got through the situation, and later by chance, I rescued a little girl, and I also met Hua Niang. After going back and forth, we got to know each other, and now I am mainly responsible for teaching literacy to those children."
"Just like that?"
Lin Jindao asked doubtfully: "Is there any problem?"
Fang Ling shook his head and said nothing more. It seemed that Senior Brother Lin did whatever he wanted.
After that, the two of them walked around the city several times.
After turning around, he came to a deserted alley. Lin Jindao used magic and pointed forward, and dense fonts appeared out of thin air in front of him. They were all written with names of people and corresponding interpersonal relationships. If some of the names disappeared, they would New names appear.
You know, Youdu has a population of one million, so it is definitely extremely complicated to accomplish this.
After a long time, Lin Jindao waved his hand gently, and the fonts disappeared. He sighed: "About 500 people disappeared last night, and..."
Lin Jindao did not say the next words, but took Fang Ling to an ordinary wooden house. Before he entered, a child walked out. Fang Ling had seen him yesterday, the one named Hou Yun. little boy.
Lin Jindao asked softly: "Xiaoyun, where is your father?"
Hou Yun looked confused, "Brother Lin, what's wrong with you? I'm an orphan. How can I have a father?"
Lin Jindao said warmly: "It's okay, I just forgot."
Hou Yun said with a worried look: "Brother Lin, have you been too tired recently? You must pay attention to rest, otherwise we and Sister Hua will worry about you."
After saying that, Hou Yun suddenly remembered something and ran back into the room quickly, then ran out again with a piece of bacon in his arms, "Brother Lin, why don't you eat some meat to replenish your body."
Lin Jindao smiled and shook his head, "Have you forgotten? I am a practitioner."
Hou Yun suddenly felt a little disappointed, "That's right."
"If you have nothing to do these days, you can go to me more often. Don't you love listening to stories the most? I can tell you the stories of those great swordsmen."
"Really? Great!"
Hou Yun instantly became happy again.
After chatting for a while, Lin Jindao and Fang Ling left.
After walking a certain distance, Lin Jindao stopped and looked back, sighing: "A few days ago, Xiaoyun's mother disappeared, and last night, his father also disappeared. He doesn't know anything. Now he only thinks that he He had been an orphan since he was a child, and I was not prepared to tell him the truth.”
"But I'm a little worried about when it will be Xiaoyun's turn, or even Hua Niang and the others. I don't want anything to happen to them, so the reason why I want to resolve this matter is not just to leave. Junior Brother Fang, can you help? me?"
Fang Ling nodded calmly and said, "I still owe Senior Brother Lin a favor."
Lin Jindao seemed to be relieved and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, but it is difficult to find an entry point into this matter. After all, it involves the soul path, which can quietly erase a person's memory. Although I have some means of self-protection, but There is no guarantee that memory will not be affected.”
Fang Ling frowned slightly. This matter was indeed very difficult, because the methods related to the soul path were too weird. If someone he knew suddenly disappeared, it would be difficult for Fang Ling to notice anything strange.
Fang Ling said slowly: "The key is that we have to witness with our own eyes how those people disappeared."
Lin Jindao nodded and said: "Yes, but there are too many people in the city, and people keep coming in, and more than a thousand people disappear every time. If you want to see it by chance, the probability is too small."
"But, girl, you have been eavesdropping for so long, is there anything you can do?"
Lin Jindao suddenly smiled softly, stretched out his finger towards Fang Ling, and a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred, and a Gu worm was forcibly pulled out.
Fang Ling's eyes narrowed. This was naturally Lu Shangshang's Gu, but he never noticed it at all.
Lin Jindao smiled and said: "If the girl doesn't show up, then I will have to destroy this Gu insect."
"Don't, don't, have something to say."
Lu Shangshang's anxious voice came out of Gu Chong's mouth. Not long after, Lu Shangshang, dressed in men's clothing, rushed over in a hurry. When he found Fang Ling staring at her, he coughed slightly unnaturally and said: "I can explain it. What we agreed on was to untie the poison that controls you. This poison is not threatening at all. It just allows you to hear a little bit of what you are saying..."
The Gu insect in Lin Jindao's hand had already floated towards Lu Shangshang.
Lin Jindao did not stop him, but said, "I think the girl already knows what I told Junior Brother Fang yesterday."
Lu Shangshang first collected the Gu worms with great treasure, then nodded and replied: "I do know, but I actually don't care too much, because I didn't want to go out, I still want to stay and look for that person. As for the holy aunt, it might be more dangerous if she goes out, and more than 1000 people die at a time. I think I am very lucky, and they should not die on my head."
Lu Shangshang suddenly changed the subject, "But, I can really help with what you just talked about."
Fang Ling knew her very well, with calm eyes, he asked directly: "What are the conditions?"
Lu Shangshang said with a smile: "Of course you are helping me find the saint aunt. I also went to find out the news yesterday, but this saint aunt seems to have been made up. I really don't know how to find her."
Fang Ling nodded and said, "No problem."
Lu Shangshang smiled with satisfaction and said: "Quickly, I have a Gu insect called Tingfeng Ear. Although it is useless to monks, it is still no problem to monitor those mortals. And most of the people who have disappeared so far are mortals, right? Although it can't be seen I don’t have the specific picture, but I think it should be helpful to you as well.”
Lin Jindao said softly: "Then it's up to you, Miss. Usually someone will disappear at midnight. When the time comes, the girl can use the power of the Gu. No matter whether it succeeds or not, Junior Brother Fang and I will do our best." Help you find news about the holy aunt."
"Then let's just say it. Since you are Fengling's senior brother, you don't need to be so polite. My name is Lu Shangshang. See you later."
After reaching the agreement, Lu Shangshang was obviously in a good mood and left in a hurry.
Lin Jindao said hesitantly: "Junior Brother Fang, you and this Miss Lu?"
Fang Ling said expressionlessly: "It doesn't have anything to do with it."
Lin Jindao understood instantly and thought that it must be inconvenient for Fang Ling to admit it, otherwise Miss Lu would not make a joke about it.
Fang Ling could tell from Lin Jindao's expression that he must have misunderstood, but he did not explain further, otherwise he would appear to be more deliberate. He thought to himself that Senior Brother Lin was not so perfect after all, and was still flawed in some aspects.
After that, Fang Ling and Lin Jindao naturally went back first, waiting for the arrival of night.
However, Fang Ling did not go back to his room to practice. Instead, he watched Lin Jindao teach the children in the yard. At first glance, there was really no trace of the senior master of the Shangqing Sect. He was just a teacher.
Fang Ling was a little confused and didn't understand why Senior Brother Lin didn't teach these children how to practice, but just some useless books.
In Fang Ling's mind, this is naturally meaningless.
Fang Ling also noticed that Hua Niang would often talk to Lin Jindao, but of course it was just trivial matters.
"Brother Lin, I made scallion pancakes for you, please try it."
"Hmm... Hua Niang, the taste is a bit too greasy. You should pay more attention next time."
"I understand, Brother Lin..."
"Brother Lin, I sewed a dress for you, please see if it fits you."
"Thank you very much. I will keep it well."
"Ah good."
Fang Ling shook his head slightly and went back to his room to practice.
......
Late at night, Lu Shangshang came over from the house opposite on time. It was really convenient to live so close.
Lu Shangshang looked at Fang Ling, blinked his eyes, and said with a smile: "Lest you think I'm lying, I'll teach you how to use this listening ear, okay?"
"Okay." Fang Ling naturally had no objection.
How to use it is not difficult. Lu Shangshang used some secret technique to make Fang Ling half the owner of this Gu insect, and he could control it at will.
Fang Ling sat cross-legged and closed his eyes lightly. The voodoo insect had crawled into his ears.
Use the method taught by Lu Shangshang to let the Gu insect release its magical power.
The moment when the push is successful.
Fang Ling seemed to have gained countless pairs of eyes in an instant. He could "see" all kinds of scenes in Youdu with great clarity, without any confusion, and could distinguish things and conversations happening in different places at the same time.
Except for the monks, all mortals in the city are already under Fang Ling's "surveillance".
Is this the power of Gu?
Really amazing.
Next, all you need to do is wait patiently.
Chapter 125 Accident
When Fang Ling was using Gu insects, Lin Jindao stood by to avoid any accidents.
As for Lu Shangshang, she just walked around the yard boredly, yawning from time to time. To her, it really didn't matter what the result was. Anyway, Fang Ling and Lin Jindao had promised to help her regardless of success or failure. Find that holy aunt.
The moment when time passed.
Fang Ling suddenly opened his eyes and whispered: "There were 940 five people who lost all their breath at the same moment and disappeared out of thin air. Before disappearing, there was nothing strange. Most of them were just sleeping, and some were walking around. There was absolutely nothing unusual about the people, they all disappeared in an instant, and I didn’t hear what happened to them before they disappeared.”
Lin Jindao frowned slightly and murmured: "Is this so..."
Lu Shangshang smiled and said, "Hey, you can't blame me. Don't forget what you promised me."
Fang Ling had already stood up, nodded and said, "Don't worry, we won't break our promise."
Lu Shangshang stretched out his white palm and said, "That's good. By the way, return the Gu to me."
Fang Ling used his spiritual consciousness to control the Gu worm in his ear to crawl out slowly, and then made it fall into his hand. However, his movements suddenly stopped, he looked at Lu Shang in front of him, and asked calmly: "Do you want to sell this Gu worm? "
Lu Shangshang opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "I regard you as a friend, but you actually want to take advantage of me!"
After saying that, he grabbed the Gu insect from Fang Ling's hand, and then ran out of the yard without looking back, as if he was afraid that Fang Ling would snatch it.
Fang Ling ignored her and just mentioned it casually, "Senior Brother Lin, what should we do next?"
Lin Jindao shook his head slightly, "I don't have much thoughts, but we can think about it from another angle. People keep disappearing. This is definitely for a purpose. It should not just be to balance the number of people in the city. Since we can't figure out the reason for the time being, maybe You can try to figure out the purpose.”
"Of course, before that, we also need to help Miss Lu find the mysterious saint."
Fang Ling frowned and said, "This will waste a lot of our time, and we will probably gain nothing."
Lin Jindao smiled and said: "Actually, I think that the holy aunt might know some inside information? So we are not entirely here to help Miss Lu. Even if she doesn't make this request, I will do the same in the future. "
Fang Ling nodded. Now it seems that Lu Shangshang thought that she had taken a huge advantage, but in fact he was overthinking it.
......
The next day, when Fang Ling walked out of the room, he saw Lu Shangshang and Hua Niang chatting happily in the yard, calling each other "sister", very affectionate.
It seems that as long as women look at each other, the relationship can heat up quickly.
They were discussing how to embroider, but as they chatted, the topic seemed to get a little sidetracked.
"Shang Shang, when will you marry Mr. Fang?"
"It's still early, but I'll definitely invite Sister Hua and Senior Brother Lin to have a wedding banquet when the time comes."
"Shang Shang, don't talk nonsense..."
The flower girl ran away with a red face.
Lin Jindao walked to Fang Ling's side and asked doubtfully: "Miss Lu just wanted to invite Hua Niang and me to a wedding banquet. What happened to Hua Niang now?"
Fang Ling thought for a while and finally gave up on saying anything.
Lu Shangshang had already walked over and said with a smile: "How to find the Holy Aunt is all up to you."
Lin Jindao stopped thinking about it and nodded: "I know a place where something might be gained."
Lu Shangshang's eyes shone, "It's not too late, let's go!"
……
Half a quarter of an hour later, Lu Shangshang looked at the overcrowded restaurant in front of him and questioned: "We can't even squeeze in, can we?"
There are indeed too many people in this restaurant. There are five floors in total, and they are all packed with people. Many people even sit on the ground drinking and talking.
Lin Jindao explained: "The large number of people is normal, because this is the place where it is rumored that the holy aunt appeared for the first time after coming to Youdu, and directly enlightened dozens of people in public, so that they all obtained comparable powers. The power of the virtual realm.”
"Now these people are here to try their luck."
Lu Shangshang asked in confusion: "Then what's the use of us coming here? It's impossible for us to come here to try our luck, right?"
