Chapter 446: Guns and Arrows (Part 1)(1/2)

In Lingquan City, most of the monks who were preparing to participate in the twelve new spiritual spring blind shots got up at Chen hour. Xia Wenzhu set the time for the spiritual spring blind shots to be halfway through Si hour, so they had to rush to the outside of the city lord's mansion before this. There will be spiritual spring monks who are specifically responsible for the spiritual spring blind shots to take them to the number one spiritual spring.

While heading to the city lord's mansion, the monks found half of the jade slips on the walls or in the ground on the road. At first they didn't care too much, thinking that it was a trick for boring people to play. But when they found out that some people put down one of these jade slips in the dark every once in a while, and after the patrol monks in the city were searching and confiscating, the brave ones among them took one into the storage bag. After the patrol monks left, the bold monk took out the jade slip again, and the monks who were accompanying him surrounded him in curiosity.

When the brave cultivator injected spiritual power into the jade slip, eleven big words appeared in the jade slip, "Twelve spiritual springs and seven spiritual energy were gone."

The monks were shocked and speculated about the authenticity of the contents in the jade slip.

With the western, southern, central and eastern part of Lingquan City, cultivators injected spiritual power into the jade slips one after another, and the news that the twelve spiritual springs and seven spiritual energy was gone spread throughout the city like a hurricane. It was okay for those monks who were just to join in the fun, but those monks who were really preparing to come and take pictures of Lingquan had their faces turned pale. Especially those representatives of the sects who had joined together, if they spent millions of medium-grade spirit stones to capture a waste spring, it would be a big blow to their respective sects. Their hot tempers could no longer hold back and ran directly to the gate of the city lord's mansion and shouted that Xia Wenzhu would come out to give an explanation. In the meantime, those who had other purposes also took advantage of the Jade Shop storm and came to the city lord's mansion with several like-minded people to put pressure on Xia Wenzhu.

Xia Wenzhu's city lord's mansion was mixed for a while, and a large number of foreign monks gathered.

Seeing that there seemed to be a riot in the city, Zhao Tong had no time to care about the strange "Zhang Xi" in front of him. He left two monks to let them verify the identity token of "Zhang Xi", and he himself brought a confidant into the city to support him.

Shi Wu, who looked like Zhang Xi, took out his identity token and let the two monks verify it. After the two monks checked it correctly, Shi Wu kindly reminded the two of them: "It seems that something big happened in the city, you have to cheer up and guard it."

The two monks guarding the city nodded in unhappy manner.

After Shi Wu entered Lingquan City, he saw the monks running straight towards the city lord's mansion one by one. He expected that someone had seen the jade slips he left behind, and now he happened to take advantage of the chaos in Lingquan City to go back to the slums in the eastern suburbs of the city. He knew that Mr. Xia had seen Zhang Xi's appearance, and he still needed to change his identity to Guo Fei and stabilize the uncertainty factor of Mr. Xia.

Shi Wu hurriedly passed by. After avoiding the group of slum residents who went to watch the fun, he went to the back of Mrs. Xia's wooden house with agility. After he adjusted the spiritual energy in the six acupoints including Fengchi and others back to the previous injection amount, his face quickly changed back to Guo Fei's appearance. He took out the wooden board and hemp rope in the casket, and fixed it firmly on the left half of his body. Seeing that this was almost done, he picked up the long piece of firewood and supported it to the dilapidated wooden house in front.

After Shi Wu knocked on the door, he found that the old lady Xia inside did not respond. He was still wondering if he had made a heavy move ahead. When he was about to enter the house to wake up the old lady Xia, the old lady Xia ran out like crazy and just hit Shi Wu. In order to show that he was still weak, Shi Wu sat backwards and on the ground.

Old Mrs. Xia also hit her very hard. She fell on the threshold, causing her to breathe in pain.

Shi Wudang complained first: "Grandma Xia, why are you so anxious? Ouch, my hand, my hand!"

Old Mrs. Xia knew that Shi Wu had half of his bones broken. Now seeing that she had hit him hard, she endured the pain on her body and helped Shi Wu up and said, "Xiao Guo, have you seen Yin Yin?"

Shi Wuwei said in a confused manner: "No, but Yin Yin said she would accompany me to blindly shoot Lingquan today. Am I knocking on the door and coming to find her?"

Old Mrs. Xia clapped her hands anxiously and said, "I've been killed. That little girl must have run away with that person!"

Shi Wu was surprised and said, "That person? Who is it? She said yesterday that I am a good person and wanted to have more contact with me. How could he run away with someone!"

Old Mrs. Xia did not hide it from Shi Wu: "I discovered something was wrong with that girl last night, and then I stared at her all night and found that she was not sleeping on the bamboo couch! It was almost the hour of the morning when my door was knocked on my house. I was even more sure that the little girl had a tryst. At first I thought it was you, so I wanted to sleep with my eyes closed. But I was still worried about it, so I followed the little girl movie. Do you know who I saw after the little girl movie opened!"

Shi Wu cooperated and said, "Who?"

Old Woman Xia said: "The dog man who came with that slut last time!"

"Zhang Xi?" Shi Wu deliberately said Zhang Xi's name.

Old Mrs. Xia said angrily: "Yes, yes, it's him! The good cabbage I raised with hard work was robbed by a pig! No, I'm going to go to the guardhouse to ask for an explanation!"

Seeing that Old Mrs. Xia was about to leave for the escort, Shi Wu advised: "Grandma Xia, how can you prove that Zhang Xi had kidnapped Yin Yin? And the other party was a member of the escort. If you fight with him, you will definitely suffer a loss."

When Old Mrs. Xia heard that, she couldn't swallow her breath and said, "Xiao Guo, what do you think you should do?"

Shi Wu asked: "Grandma Xia, is Yinyin's identity token on you?"

Old Mrs. Xia looked at Shi Wu suspiciously and said, "What are you asking about this?"

Shi Wu replied: "Grandma Xia, don't get me wrong. I just want to remind you to keep the identity token well, so that Yin Yin can't leave the city no matter what. This is your killer move."

Old Mrs. Xia said happily: "Yes! Why did I forget this? As long as the girl's identity token is still here with me, I will not be afraid that she can leave this Lingquan City, and I will drag her to death! I don't believe that Zhang Xi can ask for a woman without spiritual roots. When Zhang Xi gets tired of playing with her, I will throw it out again, and I will break her legs again! No, this time I will break her hands and feet!"

Old Mrs. Xia was smiling, and suddenly she was frightened by Shi Wu's cold eyes.

Shi Wu, who looked like Guo Fei, knew that he had lost his composure. He hurriedly explained: "Grandma Xia, I didn't expect that she pretended to be close to me just to divert her sight. If I waited for Zhang Xi, I would definitely give him some warnings in person."

After hearing this, Old Mrs. Xia calmed down and said, "It should be like this."

Seeing that the old lady Xia had temporarily stabilized, Shi Wu said, "Since Yin Yin is not here, I will go to the city lord's mansion. It will definitely be very lively today."

Old Mrs. Xia actually wanted to go over and take a look, but when she thought that Xia Yinyin's identity token was still in the house, she would never leave. She just told Shi Wu: "Xiao Guo, then I wish you a good star and a good look, and you can take a look at a spiritual spring."

Shi Wu smiled and said, "My goal is more than just a spiritual spring."

After saying that, Shi Wu limped towards the city lord's mansion with the long piece of firewood.

Only the old lady Xia, who was stunned, secretly hated Zhang Xi and Xia Yinyin for ruining her good things.

When Shi Wu came outside the City Lord's Mansion, there were already cultivators who came to ask for advice. Shi Wu saw that the monks wearing dark yellow robes were maintaining order outside the City Lord's Mansion last time when they gathered at the city gate. However, hundreds of them alone could not control the excitement of nearly 6,000 monks here.

The five early-stage Nascent Soul monks who came to Lingquan City were elected as representatives by this group of people, but they were not as excited as the monks behind them. Among them, the old man wearing brown robes said to the leader of the group of dark yellow robes: "I wonder when Lord Xia City will come out to give us an answer?"

The leader was also worried: "The city lord said he would come out after half of the time. Please be careful of his peace of mind."

The old man in the brown robe said, "You Lord Xia likes to reason the most. My grandson Lin Lie is ignorant, so he was arrested after breaking into your Lingquan City. I, Lin Mian, want to see, if you Lord Xia really use the waste spring as a substitute to deceive me, he has not maintained this reason yet."

The leader sighed in his heart, not knowing how to respond.

In the city lord's mansion, Xia Wenzhu and Xu Hui were discussing countermeasures. They were not discussing how to deal with the more than 6,000 cultivators outside, but thinking about how to find the mysterious man hidden from it. Xia Wenzhu knew that seven of the twelve spiritual springs were absorbed by the spiritual energy, so he had already made plans to deal with it.

Xia Wenzhu handed a jade slip taken by his subordinates to Xu Hui and said, "Brother Xu, this must be the news released by that person."

Xu Hui looked at the material of the jade slip, and injected spiritual power into it, and saw the Shi Wu's words "Twelve spiritual springs and seven spiritual energy are gone." He asked, "Where did you find it?"

"There are all in the west, south, in and east of the city." Xia Wenzhu continued, "My subordinates came to report as soon as they found out, but when I ordered them to collect all these jade slips, some monks outside saw the contents of the jade slips. Looking at the range of these, I am afraid that there will be no less than five hundred."

Xu Hui said: "When will the four shadow stones you mentioned buried under the main street be moved back?"

Xia Wenzhu said: "It should be soon."

After hearing this, Xu Hui closed his eyes and said nothing, and began to imagine the route of Shi Wu's placement of jade slips in his mind.

Not long afterwards, more than 6,000 monks who were still shouting outside watched dozens of servants of the City Lord's Mansion fly into the City Lord's Mansion carrying four things covered by black cloth. They all guessed what it was.

Shi Wu stared at the four stone-like things and thought to himself that Xia Wenzhu would not have buried shadow stones in the dark outside.

After dozens of servants from the city lord's mansion carried four shadow stones covered by black cloth into the hall, Xia Wenzhu asked all the servants to go out. He uncovered the four large shadow stones with bright light and said to Xu Hui: "Brother Xu wants to see when will the image be there?"

Xu Hui opened his eyes and said, "Whether from Zi to Mao, the order is from east to west or from west to east."

Xia Wenzhu quickly injected into the four shadow stones with her purple spiritual power, and then began to release images from the four shadow stones. I saw that many monks walked past these four shadow stones at once, some were drunk and staggering, and some were hugging the female cultivator...

Xu Hui looked at it without blinking, but there was no strange place in the images in the shadow stone. Until the time came to Yin time, Xu Hui saw a strange figure appearing in the shadow stone in the city. He was very fast, and when he was walking on the main street, he was looking for the darkness under the eaves. After a group of patrolling monks came over, he stopped moving.

Xu Hui couldn't see the man's face clearly, and could only see that he was wearing a green robe. Xu Hui asked, "Can your guards allocate tasks at this time?"

Xia Wenzhu shook her head and said, "Liu Feng has been erased and his memory is in the city lord's mansion. How can someone still be assigned tasks?"

"Continue." Xu Hui looked at the shadow-abundant stone path in the city.

Xia Wenzhu continued to inject spiritual power to allow these shadow stones to release images in a coherent manner. Then there were only a group of patrol teams passing by the main street. Almost half an hour later, Shi Wu, who was in Zhang Xi's appearance, appeared above the city. When the patrol monks saw it, they just bowed and did not go forward to interrogate.

Xu Hui's eyes shone: "If what I expected is not bad, he will appear in the shadow stone in the west of the city!"

Sure enough, Shi Wu, who looked like Zhang Xi in the image posted by Xia Wenzhu, had already thrown the jade slips one by one on the wall and the ground one by one.

Xia Wenzhu said furiously: "Okay! It turns out that there is a ghost at home! No wonder it can't be found!"

Xu Hui calmly said: "Continue to let go!"

Xia Wenzhu patiently injected spiritual power. Xu Hui saw the group of patrolling monks in the south of the city stop Shi Wu. He nodded and said, "Very good!"

Xia Wenzhu also decided in her heart to wait and praise the patrol monks in the south of the city. However, Shi Wu, who looked like Zhang Xi, never appeared again after being recorded by the shadow stone on the main street in the south of the city.

Xu Hui knocked his finger at his eyebrows and said, "Go and notify the patrolling monks in the south of the city to come and ask questions, and then summon the monks guarding each city gate, hurry up!"

Xia Wenzhu knew that time was tight, so he directly recalled the heads of the four major city gates and the patrol monks in the south of the city to the city lord's mansion with the voice transmission jade pendant.

Then Xia Wenzhu couldn't wait, so she teleported directly to the south of the city and teleported the leading patrol monk over.

Xu Hui asked directly: "What's the name of the person in the escort you met around Mao last night?"

The monk knew that the person who asked was the manager of Zhuguang Pavilion, and he replied accordingly: "His name is Zhang Xi."

Xu Hui nodded and said, "Did you ask him why he came out so late?"

The monk said hunched: "Xiao asked. He said that he and Zhang Mei were ordered by Liu Feng of the escort to go outside the city to perform tasks, saying that Zhang Mei had been waiting for him at the city gate. Xiao had checked his token and was indeed from the escort. Xiao was afraid that the escort would delay the important matters of the escort, so he let it go."

When the monk heard the monk say "Zhang Xi" was about to leave the city, Xia Wenzhu Lianrong and Xu Jie and the other two couldn't help but admire Xu Hui's judgment. When the heads of the four major city gates arrived, Xu Hui asked, "Who have you ever seen Zhang Xi and Zhang Mei?"

The person in charge of the other three city gates did not make any noise. Zhao Tong stood up and bowed: "I have seen it."

"Oh?" Xu Hui teleported to Zhao Tong's side, pressing one palm directly on Zhao Tong's Tianling cover. All the memories of "Zhang Xi" and "Zhang Mei" appeared in Xu Hui's eyes. Seeing Zhao Tong let go like this, "Zhang Xi" and "Zhang Mei" who might have a defiant martial arts on his body, Xu Hui almost slapped Zhao Tong with one palm, but he still held back and continued to look back. When he saw Shi Wu, who looked like Zhang Xi, returned, he showed excitement and said, "Okay! It's good to be back!"

Zhao Tong, who was let go of Xu Hui, obviously felt that Xu Hui had just become murderous, but for some reason he changed his mind.

Xu Hui said: "Wenzhu, let them all go down, I have something to tell you."

Xia Wenzhu waved her sleeve and let those people go down.

Xia Wenzhu asked anxiously: "Brother Xu, what's going on?"

"Both of them left the city, but Zhang Xi is back." Xu Hui said.

Xia Wenzhu's eyes shone and said, "Okay! Then let's catch the turtle in the jar!"

After thinking about it, Xu Hui said, "Do you have someone named Zhang Li?"

Xia Wenzhu replied: "Yes, Zhang Mei is his real sister, what does Brother Xu mean?"

Xu Hui said: "Although I'm not sure how much he knows, his sister Zhang Mei is indeed in the same group as Zhang Xi. Let's get arrested and tortured. If he can spit out some information, he will spit out some. It's almost half past the hour, and you should also give the answer to those people outside. I can be sure that the big fish we want to net must be outside too!"

As soon as Xu Hui said this, Xia Wenzhu and the other three were inspired at the same time.

Xia Wenzhu said without hesitation: "Well! I will capture Zhang Li to the escort!"

Xu Hui shook his head and said, "The guard station is not clean. When you capture him, you will break up his cultivation level and then take it back to the city lord's mansion."

Xia Wenzhu felt that Xu Hui was very considerate and said, "It depends on Brother Xu's arrangement."
