20, one question per person
A ruined temple outside the city.
Xie Qingyun hid behind the temple, carefully used his spiritual consciousness to observe, and found no pursuers. Only then did he relax most of his nerves, and his heart was still beating wildly.
It was really too dangerous this time. Li Shuxia stood aside and said nothing, but secretly locked onto him, putting great mental pressure on him. There were also as many as twenty blue-robed cultists, just in case they encountered him during the day.
If he reaches that level of strength, he will definitely be doomed.
"Fortunately, I discovered Tang Wanwan's abnormality early and was ready to escape..."
He breathed a sigh of relief and slowly recalled some details, which all showed that there was something wrong with Tang Wanwan.
"That day she and Huan'er came to see me, but I didn't notice her presence in my consciousness. At that time, I should have thought that something was wrong with her body."
He thought with some annoyance.
"And she didn't sleep in the middle of the night. She sat there in a daze with her clothes on. It was obvious that she was ready to go out at any time..."
"Why are you going out?"
"Are they going to take action tonight?"
"Why did Tang Wanwan say 'just want to live'?"
"Has her strange disease not been cured yet?"
"Where are those mortals? Have they met their doom?"
Questions came one after another.
"Boy, my master wants to see you."
At this moment, a figure appeared on the hill behind the temple, looking down at him.
Xie Qingyun suddenly noticed that the temple he was leaning against was lit up with lights. With the dim light, he squinted at the hill and saw a man dressed as a salesman. He immediately recognized him as the one he met in Hongfang County.
But when the aura of a qi refiner appeared on the salesman's body, he immediately recognized him as one of the three who assassinated Tang Wanwan.
"It turns out it's you."
Xie Qingyun was wary, but after much deliberation, he realized that this Qi practitioner disguised as a salesman did not cause him any trouble and even answered his questions.
"Where is your revered master?" he asked.
"Aren't you asking knowingly?" The salesman jumped down and glanced sideways at Xie Qingyun with his hands behind his back, "I didn't expect you to be quite clever and escaped from there unscathed."
Xie Qingyun knew that the respected master the other party mentioned was probably in the temple, but he didn't want to go and see him, so he said: "I have something else to do, let's talk about it next time."
After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but suddenly he heard someone in the temple say: "Don't you want to know where those civilians are now?"
He raised his eyebrows, took back the green-leaf magic weapon, and turned to the main entrance of the temple. He saw a beggar sitting on the dilapidated sacred table, and a tea doctor stood next to him.
Both of them have the aura of Qi Refiners, but their auras are very strange and ethereal.
He looked at Dr. Cha strangely. It was he who reminded him to place his breakthrough in the county seat.
Dr. Tea showed a friendly smile: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, this is my master, maybe we can have a chat."
"What are you talking about?" Xie Qingyun walked in.
The beggar looked Xie Qingyun up and down carefully for a moment, and said: "Kid, you ruined my good deeds that day, it is really hateful, but since you are not colluding with the Shendu Cult, I will let you go. I, Mo
Xinqing has always adhered to the principle of equivalent exchange, I answer your questions, and you have to answer them for me."
"One question per person." Xie Qingyun said.
The beggar said: "Very good, it seems you are a smart man."
Xie Qingyun said bluntly: "Why do you want to kill Tang Wanwan?"
The beggar said "Hey" and said: "You got the point right away. Well, let's take it as a reward for you - Ah Shi, please tell him the whole story first."
"Yes, Master." Dr. Cha, known as "Ah Shi", smiled and clasped his fists at Xie Qingyun, "Fellow Daoist Xie, this matter started half a year ago."
"Half a year ago, the Shendu Sect discovered that an artifact called the 'Reincarnation Pearl' might be sealed in Yunzhou, so they planned to create a massacre in an attempt to use a large number of ghosts to attract the artifact. However, Dongli Continent is under the supervision of the Taoist Sect.
, in order not to attract the attention of the Taoist sect, the Shendu Cult found Tang Tanfu and wanted to use his authority as the governor of a state to achieve their goals."
"Artifact?"
Xie Qingyun frowned in confusion. He did not ask why the huge number of ghosts attracted the artifact, but said: "Then what does this matter have to do with your intention to kill Tang Wanwan?"
"Fellow Taoist, don't be impatient. I'll tell you everything later." Dr. Cha said with a smile. "Of course Tang Tanfu refused, and he almost arrested and jailed the lobbyist of the Shendu Sect. That lobbyist, that is,
Li Shuxia, he had a grudge against this, so he used a secret method to destroy Tang Wanwan's three souls and seven souls, causing her to suffer from illness all day long and enter the gate of hell several times."
Xie Qingyun was shocked.
Dr. Tea sighed and said, "You probably know what happens next."
Xie Qingyun murmured: "Tang Tanfu posted a list to seek medical treatment, Zhang Zerui posted the list, and the two parties contacted him again. The Shendu Cult only had to tell him that his daughter's illness required a soul to make up for it... Tang Tanfu was forced to go to a dead end. In order to save
My daughter, I have no choice but to submit."
The beggar said coldly: "They did it twice in secret. Of course they will continue until they find the Reincarnation Pearl, so of course they won't cure Tang Wanwan. But these two times, flaws were exposed. We were entrusted to come here."
We investigated the matter but never found any clues, so we decided to kill Tang Wanwan before they did it for the third time, so that Tang Tanfu would stop this stupid behavior."
"Now it's my turn to ask, where did you learn about this case?"
Xie Qingyun then described Fang Xizhi's story in detail.
"So that's it." The beggar said suddenly, and then said bitterly, "This little scumbag named Li is not high in cultivation, but he has a lot of evil intentions. He was afraid that he would be silenced in the city and we would find out the clues. I didn't expect to meet you."
"It's my turn." Xie Qingyun said, "Where do they plan to conduct it for the third time?"
The beggar smiled mysteriously: "You will know this question later. Now you answer my last question first."
"What's the problem?" Xie Qingyun asked.
The beggar asked: "How did you know they hid people in the grain cart?" This question seemed to be very important to him.
"Ruttish marks." Xie Qingyun said.
"Ruttish marks?" the beggar wondered.
Xie Qingyun smiled slightly and said: "I saw a cart transporting new grain in the Yunzhou City teahouse. One cart contained nearly ten bags and eighty kilograms of stones, which was the limit for war horses to carry. Later, I saw the so-called so-called grain in Hongfang County.
The old grains brought by the wealthy family for exchange were only five or six bags, but the two marks were the same, so we guessed that they contained people."
The beggar finally realized the truth, slapped his head and shouted: "The average adult weighs one hundred and twenty, and a bag of five or six is equal to the grain. The weight is the same, and the rut marks will naturally be the same. Really, why didn't I think of that!"
"Wonderful!" Dr. Cha trembled all over and couldn't help stroking his palms in admiration.
At this time, everyone in the temple noticed someone approaching outside the temple.
The beggar smiled and said: "Xie Qingyun, the answer you asked for is here."
"Answer?" Xie Qingyun looked out in confusion, but saw a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old appearing outside. First she glared at him fiercely, and then shouted to the beggar, "Master, I know where they are."
"Why is it you?" Xie Qingyun screamed. He was not so shocked even when Tang Wanwan led him into an ambush.
What do you think?
The person who came was actually Tang Wanwan's personal maid.
