Chapter 82(1/4)
"So, when Miss Song and Luan Niang were dressed as men and walked together at night, they were knocked out and mistakenly thought she had an affair with an unknown man."
Lin Xun was very serious and lay on the table to write and draw. The white dragon horns were reflected in a warm jade-like light: "The family of aristocratic families took into account their faces and hurriedly married her to Luo Yuanming. Later, perhaps by chance, she broke the scandal of Luo Yuanming's soul refining."
He Zhizhou was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. Eating buns was like a pencil. As soon as he entered his mouth, he was ventilated and he continued to talk while eating: "So Luo Yuanming gave her a ban and could not disclose any information related to this to others - why didn't he kill Song Xianning directly?"
Ning Ning responded: "The city lord's wife died inexplicably, and his suspicion must be quite large. Luo Yuanming might have wanted to use this method to stabilize Song Xianning for the time being, but she didn't expect that she was furious and not only had a big fight with him, but also moved into a villa."
Others only think that the couple has a disagreement, and they can never imagine Song Xianning's anger and helplessness at the time.
A long distance away from her only friend, she was pushed away by her family as a tool for marriage. Her husband, who had no feelings, was covered in blood, but she could not tell a word to outsiders.
So when she and Pei Ji went to Song Xianning's bedroom, they found that the book "Crabbit of Ziwei Skills" was particularly new.
Song Xianning learned talisman methods, but because she came from a well-known family, she was not interested in evil magic. It was a book she bought after she noticed something was wrong with her husband. The purpose was just to find out what "soul refining" was.
Ning Ning wrapped a strand of hair around her fingertips, staring at the candlelight jumping by the window, frowned slightly:
"Strangely, the disappearance of a girl in Luan City should have happened not long ago, but Song Xianning got married to Luo Yuanming a few years ago... Could it be that he has been sacrificing a woman's soul for many years, but has never been discovered?"
"Will he keep choosing a helpless orphan girl to start?"
He Zhizhou sighed: "The reason why this incident was exposed was because a farm girl from a suburban family disappeared inexplicably. I went to visit her house. The house was barely covered with only one mother who was seriously ill in bed. I heard that her mother noticed that her daughter was missing, and she dragged her body full of illness and took two full hours to walk to Luancheng step by step, and then she reported the case to the envoy of the Punishment Department."
Ningning nodded.
As far as she knows, there are five or six girls who are found missing, most of whom are dead. Even if they disappear for no reason, few people are willing to pursue them.
Luo Yuanming went from poor sea of consciousness to his later cultivation, from the first level of the Golden Pill to the Nascent Soul, and after several years of time. If he had been using soul refining to improve his cultivation...
So many women have died here after so many years?
"I was wondering before why the phoenix statues in the city lord's mansion had to be turned around. It turned out that he was robbing himself and deliberately creating visual blind spots."
He Zhizhou was a little indignant: "The disappearance case had not been revealed at that time, and Song Xianning happened to be weak since childhood. Seeing that she refused, Luo Yuanming must have thought about it and arranged for a serious illness to die."
"Before Miss Song's death, she often communicated with Luan Niang. Although she could not personally inform the city lord's mansion, judging from the tone between her lines, Luan Niang must have noticed something was wrong."
Lin Xun shook his pen: "Later, she learned about the evil art shop from Miss Song, and recalled that Luo Yuanming's cultivation level had greatly increased, so she asked, "Is there any way to reshape the muscles and bones and nourish spiritual power?" At that time, Luan Niang learned about the soul refining technique for the first time and roughly guessed that the city lord had a big problem."
Then Song Xianning died of a strange illness, Luan Niang's temperament changed drastically, and she planned to approach Luo Yuanming step by step. However-
"By the way!"
Ning Ning poked Pei Ji's arm and smiled silently: "Do you remember? When we sneaked into the city lord's mansion and saw Luan Niang walking out of the room alone late at night, her appearance was more beautiful than she had seen before?"
He was leaning alone against the wall in the corner, but Ning Ning forced him to sit at the table to participate in the discussion. After hearing this, he thought for a moment, pursed his lips and nodded: "Yes."
"At that time, I felt that she had nourished her carefully in a place with extremely strong spiritual energy. And when Luan Niang and Luo Yuanming returned to their room, "I'm too tired tonight."
Ning Ning said slowly: "If Luan Niang wants to find out the truth, she must find out the exact location where Luo Yuanming imprisoned the girl. But she has no ability and no clues, and is isolated in the entire Luan City. What else can she do? The only way is to let Luo Yuanming take her there in person."
"So, the reason why they both left the room in the middle of the night was to absorb the spiritual power refined by those girls?"
He Zhizhou couldn't help but tremble, calmed down and thought hard: "Yes. Luo Yuanming's love for Luan Niang is not like a fake. She is just a mortal with no cultivation and is destined to grow old one day, and he wants to stay with him forever. In this way, as long as Luan Niang deliberately uses this to hurt the spring and fall a few times, Luo Yuanming will definitely take her to that place in person to ensure that her face will not grow old."
He said this, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Luan Niang is a thorough undercover agent. Do you think she will be fascinated by this colorful world and will not give up her appearance forever, so as to turn against her and stand on the united front with Luo Yuanming?"
"If she intends to rebel, how can we get to this point?"
Ning Ning raised her eyes and smiled: "Don't you find it strange? Why did she persuade us to drink Jiuzhou Chun Return, and her senior sister disappeared inexplicably afterwards? Why did Pei Ji and I meet the teased girl Ahui, and Senior Brother Meng Jue fall in front of her house? The most coincidental thing is that Grandma Selling Painting actually retains a painting related to them?"
She held her right cheek with one hand, her pupils reflected in a beautiful orange-yellow by candlelight, her voice was gentle and gentle, with a firm force:
"Although she couldn't speak, she arranged for people to guide us to discover the truth step by step. Pei Ji and I saw Luan Niang sending messages to others tonight. The reason why she showed a satisfied look was probably because those people completed the task successfully."
He Zhizhou was a little confused.
"In other words, from the moment we drank Jiuzhou's spring return, we had already been trapped in Luan Niang?"
He said it, and continued to ask in disbelief: "Senior Sister Zheng is missing, maybe it's related to her?"
"You think, Luo Yuanming has always been vigilant in his actions, and he specially selected orphans to start, leaving no information at all."
Ning Ning said intently: "He has been careful for so long. How could he deliberately kidnap the true disciples of the Xuanxu Sword Sect during the Ten Methods Meeting? Isn't this a pity that he was not exposed quickly enough? The only reason to plan this is Luan Niang."
Lin Xun looked frightened and his eyes were blurred.
Is this what women think? It's so terrible, really terrible.
"She is isolated and helpless in Luancheng and has no trustworthy partner. If she wants to expose Luo Yuanming, the best way is to take advantage of the ten methods to take advantage of the power of various major sects."
She is really the same as the rumors say, and she uses any means to achieve her goal.
Ning Ning felt admiration, and an indescribable feeling of regret arose in her heart. After sorting out her thoughts, she continued: "The reason why we let us drink Jiuzhou Chungui is because her cultivation is weak. Only when Senior Sister Zheng is unconscious can she be kidnapped; and the reason why Senior Sister Zheng is kidnapped--"
He Zhizhou suddenly realized: "This is forcing us to find out the truth! Then we will induce us to discover the painting step by step, the store and her real name, and the truth will come out!"
"This, this is too - too awesome."
Everything that happened before was loose and chaotic. Unexpectedly, it was all linked together, layer by layer. Lin Xun opened his mouth from beginning to end, and in the end he could only sigh: "Luan Niang must attach great importance to Miss Song."
It’s a pity that no one knows what kind of story happened between them now except Luan Niang.
"After talking about the cause, let's talk about the 'fruit' again."
Zheng Weiqi should be safe for the time being, Ning Ning quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: "Since the city lord and his wife can go to the soul refining place without any scruples at midnight, this means that the place must be - the answer to the answer begins!"
He thought of this answer!
He Zhizhou's eyes lit up immediately. He was about to open his mouth happily when he heard Pei Ji say quickly: "In the city lord's mansion."
He actually used a very serious tone, and his tongue brushed over like soap, just like the top spot in the whole class in kindergarten, for fear that others would take away the right to answer the answer, so he would perform well in front of the teacher.
Damn, was this kid like this before? We should not be too comparative in life, silent.
Ningning nodded after hearing this.
The disappearance case has caused panic in recent days, and the whole city has stepped up its guard. If he frequently enters and leaves the mansion late at night at such a time, Luo Yuanming will definitely be suspicious. The safest way is to build the Soul Refining Land in the City Lord's Mansion.
"But that location must be very hidden, otherwise the Criminal Department would not have found nothing when searching Luan Niang."
Thinking of this, Ningning couldn't help feeling a little overwhelmed: "But Luan Niang couldn't tell us in person--"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a hasty knock on the door.
Someone pushed the door open and under the candlelight, Ningning saw clearly the appearance of the visitor.
He was depressed, pale, and his eyes were like black marble balls, as if he would break if he was not careful.
What a familiar face this is.
Lin Xun shouted out loud: "Big, senior sister!"
*
It was Zheng Weiqi who pushed the door open.
Senior Sister Zheng, who used to be lively, changed from a small pond to a saline-alkali land. Her vicissitudes of appearance can directly play the role of an old zombie in western Hunan. Her turbid eyes turned slightly, like a life-seeking effort, which made people feel scared.
Ning Ning wanted to rush forward and hug her, but she felt that her senior sister's fragile little body could not withstand the tossing, so she had to carefully help her to the chair and sit down: "Senior sister, what have you encountered?"
Zheng Weiqi looked at her with bloodshot eyes.
Then he puffed his mouth and closed his eyes, and felt wronged and went into Ningning's arms.
"Junior sister, I miss you so much!"
While urging in the little girl's fragrant and soft arms, she complained mournfully: "If I had known that drinking Jiuzhou Chungui was the kind of virtue, I would be willing to drink mud and water! When I sobered up, not only did I lose my spiritual power, but I was knocked fainted and threw it to a lonely well. I almost fell in and couldn't come back. The bag on the back of my head has not disappeared yet - wait, why are you so strange looking?"
Pei Ji was silent for a while and said in a deep voice: "There should be a well in the city lord's mansion?"
Lin Xun smiled and opened his mouth, and a pair of dragon horns swayed with their bodies: "Of course there is!"
Ningning hugged her and kissed her: "Thank you, senior sister! You are so great! Are you hungry? Are you sleepy? Are you want to do something? We are all satisfied!"
Senior Sister Zheng, an old tool guy.
Luan Niang first used her disappearance to induce everyone to find out the truth. Now she has scored twice and the items are recycled. Then she uses the location of Zheng Weiqi to wake up, which obviously implies the location of the soul refining place.
Although he is a tool, Senior Sister Zheng is the most important thing!
"Sister Zheng, you don't need to know too much. You just need to understand that you are the ship that guides us to victory and the goddess of victory that stands tall."
He Zhizhou stood up from his seat and was ready to go: "Brothers, I'm ready!"
Zheng Weiqi, who missed everything:...?
Who is she, where is she, what she did, why is she "so great"? What are these girls and boys doing? What are they going to do?
"Although I don't know what happened."
Zheng Weiqi looked them blankly, as if she had not yet sobered up, and squinted her eyes and scratched her head: "But the person who knocked me out seemed to have left a note in my hand."
*
Since Luan Niang clearly gave the "well", the four of them inferred that the Soul Refining Place must be in the City Lord's Mansion. Combining the two, it can be effortless to determine its specific location.
The people who visited the city lord's mansion at night changed from two to four. When they turned over and crossed the wall, they looked like a string of ninja turtles. From a distance, they looked like a swaying head, which seemed to be a bit like jumping and running around.
Lin Xun couldn't bear to break a weed, and he had never done such a worrying thing. His eyes glanced around and said in a very small volume: "I know where the well is, come with me."
He Zhizhou was very surprised: "How do you know?"
"I... am not afraid of people?"
