Chapter 276 Murder Case
Bai Yu and Lao Mo were eating mushrooms and barbecue, as happy as gods.
At this time, Ji Changqing fell in front of him:
"Junior brother, what a happy life."
He was not polite, he brought his own bowls and chopsticks and sat aside to catch mushrooms to eat.
"Well, it tastes so fresh."
"Junior brother, you have nothing to say about your cooking skills. No wonder Master always talks about you."
Over the past year or so, Bai Yu and Ji Changqing have become familiar with each other, and they talk very relaxedly.
Bai Yu smiled and said:
"Fourth Senior Brother, you always see the beginning but not the end of the dragon. Why are you here today?"
Ji Changqing threw him a jade slip:
"Master has received a letter, please read it."
Bai Yu took the jade slip and looked at it, his expression became solemn.
Wuweizi mentioned in the jade slip that a riot broke out in the Demon Burial Tower, causing heavy damage.
Six of the Golden Core cultivators lost their lives, including even a late-stage Golden Core Spirit Lord.
The foundation-building monks suffered over a hundred casualties.
The Huangzi No. 6 tomb area where Bai Yu was located had most of the casualties.
Bai Yu couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, he escaped early, otherwise he would have been in danger.
After reading the jade slips, he sighed:
"I didn't expect such a big thing to happen in the Demon Burial Tower. We are still as comfortable as we are outside."
Ji Changqing said:
"Compared to the Demon Burial Tower, it is indeed much more comfortable here."
"But there has been trouble recently. I can't spare my manpower here, so I have to trouble you, little junior brother, to go out."
Ji Changqing has not disturbed Bai Yu for more than a year.
This time we went out, it seemed like we were really in trouble.
Bai Yu is interested:
"Senior brother? What's going on?"
Ji Changqing said:
“Pregnant women have been murdered one after another in Xizhou.”
"The people at Six Gates have no clue at all. They suspect it is related to monsters or demon cultivators."
Bai Yu touched his chin:
"Monster or demon cultivator? Is there any difference between the two?"
Ji Changqing picked up another piece of fungus and said:
"Demon cultivators are actually human beings who imitate monsters in their cultivation. However, demon cultivators generally do not dare to directly absorb the demonic energy, and often use resentment, evil spirits and other forces instead."
"Both monsters and demon cultivators are very difficult to deal with."
"Junior brother, be careful. The monsters here are several times more ferocious than those in the Little Demon Realm."
Bai Yu nodded and said:
"Senior brother, don't worry, I will take care of it."
He also wanted to see the difference in combat power between the original monsters and those from the Little Demon Realm.
Ji Changqing stood up after eating the mushrooms and suddenly said:
"Why am I feeling dizzy? Junior brother, your fungus is not poisonous, right?"
Bai Yu said:
"It shouldn't be, why am I okay?"
"Old Mo, is it not poisonous after you eat it?"
Lao Mo:
"Woof woof~" (No, I can guarantee that it is definitely not poisonous.)
Bai Yu: "How do you know it's absolutely not poisonous?"
Lao Mo:
"Woof woof woof~" (The fungus in the pot told me personally.)
Bai Yu: "..."
He coughed awkwardly:
"Well, there can't be anything wrong with the fungi. It might be a little undercooked."
Ji Changqing didn't care at all, he just used the exercises at will to dissolve the toxins.
Half a day later, a flying boat flew out from Jindu City.
In addition to Bai Yu, there were three other foundation-building monks on the flying boat.
One is named Nan Fubo, who is Ji Changqing's apprentice.
In addition, there is a monk and a monk from two local sects in Songming Kingdom, Yuanfu Temple and Puhua Temple.
The three of them each reported their names and took their seats one by one.
Bai Yu said:
"Taoist Master Yin, Zen Master Fa'an, I wonder if you two have any news about this case?"
Taoist Master Yin smoothed his goatee under his chin and replied:
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I do have some news."
"It is said that the murderer this time specifically targets pregnant women, and he always attacks on the first and fifteenth day of every month."
Zen Master Fa'an also said:
"Amitabha, I heard that the pregnant women who were affected were all born on a yin day in a yin year and a yin month."
Pregnant women have a yin year with a yin month and a yin day.
The one who comes is not kind.
At this time, Taoist Master Yin said again:
"This time, we take Leiyang Shangzong as the leader and obey the orders of fellow Taoist Wichang."
Yuanfu Temple and Puhua Temple are just small sects compared to Leiyang Sect, and the strongest person in the sect is only a golden elixir.
In all previous operations, the two factions basically cooperated with the Leiyang Sect.
Bai Yu refused to come forward and only said:
"I'm a newbie here. I don't know the local customs. How can I send two Taoist friends?"
"Xiao Nan, you will be in charge of this operation."
Xiao Nan, also known as Nan Fubo, had no choice but to respond:
"Yes, uncle."
He felt quite helpless.
Obviously the two of them have similar cultivation levels and appear to be similar in age, but he actually wants to call him Uncle Bai Yu.
This is really unbearable.
Bai Yu asked Nan Fubo to act as agent for various matters, and he himself returned to the secret room and began daily practice.
He secretly used the secret skill of the earth, and his body suddenly gained a thick layer of stone armor.
Over the past year or so, he has practiced the Earth Secret Skill to the point of perfect foundation building.
The skill has improved so quickly that even Bai Yu himself was a little surprised.
But after thinking about it for a moment, I felt relieved.
Practicing the first method before was equivalent to getting into college with your own efforts from start to finish.
Now minoring in earth-attribute exercises is equivalent to finishing college and then going back to elementary and middle school again, and the speed will naturally be much faster.
Of course, the main reason is that there are a lot of pills and source stones to assist.
Especially the Origin Stone, which can be directly converted into skill, and is extremely precious.
Adding up these factors, it is only natural that the cultivation progress will be rapid.
Bai Yu took a deep breath and began to practice the next skill "Taibai Sword Technique"!
As long as the five elements are perfect, you can start to attack the golden elixir.
Bai Yu smiled faintly and began to practice hard.
Two days later, everyone arrived at the city of Xizhou.
As soon as he entered the city, Bai Yu felt a gaze falling on him, and then flashed past him quickly.
He remained calm and used his ear to listen to the wind. He could hear noisy voices, but there was nothing unusual about it.
The group of people rushed directly to Zhou Mu Yamen without any delay.
Li Ziyun, the state pastor, personally came to greet him and called him "immortal master".
With his secret Feng Shui eye, Bai Yu saw that above Zhou Mu's head, the luck had condensed into the shape of a big seal.
Zhou Mu was about to host a banquet for everyone.
At this time, Nan Fubo waved his hand and said:
"Master Fu, stop talking and take me to see the victim."
Soon, everyone arrived at a morgue.
But he saw three corpses lying inside, all of them women.
The face was distorted, the stomach was cut open, the baby inside was taken out, and even a section of the umbilical cord was left.
Bai Yu sniffed calmly and secretly used Feng Shui's eyes.
"The aura of blood, evil aura, but no demonic aura, it should be a demonic cultivator."
"But finding out the murderer may not be that simple."
At this time, Nan Fubo took out a bronze tripod.
There are eight dragons carved on the outside of the tripod, corresponding to the eight directions.
He grabbed a handful of aura from the deceased and threw it into the cauldron.
Then he made a hand gesture and recited a mantra, chanting something in his mouth.
After a while, the dragon's eyes corresponding to the northeast direction lit up.
"The Shocking Dragon Cauldron has responded, in the northwest."
"Let's go catch the murderer!"
