Xuantian Law Envoy

Chapter 192 Branch of the old place, fairy cave
Wang Geng on the side hurriedly said: "That place is called Luojia Village, where the descendants of servants from the branch of the Chen family live."

"Many years ago, some branches of the Chen family were left there, and they were taken back to Taiwu Immortal City by the Patriarch later."

"But that place is not far from Taiwu Immortal City, only a thousand miles away, I can take you there."

Xu Qing raised her eyebrows: "Are there still members of the Chen family living in that place?"

Wang Geng shook his head: "No, I moved to Taiwu Immortal City many years ago."

Xu Qing asked in surprise: "Then what did Senior Chen do in his old place?"

Wang Geng shook his head: "I'm not sure about that."

Xu Qing looked at the note in his hand and asked casually: "Senior Wang, you should know the maid who delivered the letter, right?"

Wang Geng also said with an unchanged face: "Yes, the clues she sent are credible."

Xu Qing asked in surprise, "Who is her master?"

Wang Geng shook his head: "I can't say that, even if you ask other members of the Chen family, they won't say it, because they dare not."

Xu Qing pondered for a while with a smile, then suddenly thought of something, then sighed: "Is that the daughter of the Chen family, Tianjiao?"

Wang Geng was taken aback for a moment, and then said in shock, "How do you know?"

Yu Qingzi and Lian Zhen on the side looked at Xu Qing equally in surprise.

Xu Qing chuckled: "You told me."

Wang Geng looked at a loss: "I, what did I say?"

"You said you can't say it," Xu Qing glanced at him, "This means that the identity of the other party needs to be kept secret, or it is very special in the Chen family, which greatly narrows the scope."

"Then, you said that if I asked the rest of the Chen family, they wouldn't say it because they didn't dare."

Xu Qing said lightly: "It would be fine if the rest of the Chen family didn't say it was for keeping secrets, but if it was because they didn't dare to disclose it, it means that the people involved in this matter are extremely important in the Chen family."

"The ancestor of the Chen family, the head of the Chen family, Tianjiao, the daughter of the Chen family."

"These are the only three people I can think of."

"For the first two, there's no need to hide their identities. The Chen family should respect them more."

"So I guess it's the latter."

"And your reaction just proved my guess."

Wang Geng looked at Xu Qing in a daze, swallowed, smiled wryly and shook his head, "Law Enforcement Envoy is indeed a professional, Wang even more admires it."

Xu Qing waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing, and he put down the salute in his hand: "Why don't we go there tonight? Since Tianjiao, the daughter of the Chen family, gave us this clue, things will change later, so let's go and have a look first."

Wang was even more surprised and said: "You guys have traveled thousands of miles, don't you want to take a rest?"

Xu Qing turned to look at Lian Zhen and Yu Qingzi: "I'm not tired, how about you?"

The two shook their heads at the same time.

To be honest, they had rested for a long time during Xu Qing's investigation.

We are all "Golden Core" monks, a little rest is enough to restore our spirits.

"That's good, let's go."

Seeing this, Wang Geng didn't say anything more. This hidden guard with spirits who seemed a round older than Xu Qing and the others was not a procrastinator.

"Wait a minute, you three. I'll pass a message and ask the people below to find the people whom the law enforcement envoy calls for and bring them directly to the village."

But Xu Qing suddenly shook his head and said, "No need, I'll go and ask directly."

Then he turned around and walked outside.

Wang Geng was a little surprised and puzzled.

Does Xu Qing already know who it is?
Soon, Xu Qing found the young master of the Chen family in the mourning hall.

Chen Wuhai.

He was the only one in the mourning hall at this time.

Chen Wuhai was kneeling in front of his father's spiritual tablet, expressionless.

Seemingly aware of Xu Qing's movement, when Chen Wuhai turned his head to look at him, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

"I have something to ask you." Xu Qing directly explained his purpose.

Immediately, he arranged an isolation formation, looked at Chen Wuhai who nodded and said, "Is it because of Xiaohua?"

Xu Qing seemed a little surprised: "You guessed it?"

Chen Wuhai didn't answer, but just sighed: "Actually, when she first mentioned this matter, I didn't believe it at all."

"Later, it was just when she saw something wrong and frightened herself, but she didn't take it seriously."

"If I had listened to people's advice, maybe my father would not."

Xu Qing shook his head and interrupted him: "You are wrong. If you had listened to people's advice, maybe you and your father would have died together."

Chen Wuhai suddenly raised his head and looked at him: "What the hell is that?"

Xu Qing shook her head: "I don't know either, but I will find out, including the people behind the scenes."

"You mean, someone planned this matter behind?" Chen Wuhai said coldly.

Xu Qing threw a jade slip to him. It was the information jade slip that Yu Qingzi gave him, which recorded the important figures who had died in Beizhou in the past six months.

After reading it, especially when he saw the last line "Chen Zhankong, commander of the city of Taiwu Immortal City, died at home for no reason", a terrifying murderous aura emanated from his whole body.

After a long time, he took a deep breath, looked at Xu Qing, clasped his fists and said, "Master Law Enforcement Envoy, please find out the murderer. Wu Hai is willing to do his best to help you!"

His address to Xu Qing has changed from "you" to "you".

Xu Qing nodded: "Okay, there is something for you to do now."

Chen Wuhai stood up and said, "You tell me."

Xu Qing thought for a while and said, "Help me find the list of all the current members of your Chen family branch, especially those who are still alive when they moved to Taiwu Immortal City with your family back then."

"Your father is the leader of your branch. If he is gone, you will be the leader. It is most suitable for you to handle this matter."

"Why?" Chen Wuhai asked.

Xu Qing shook her head: "It's not clear yet, so we're going to go to the old place of the branch of the Chen family."

"Luojia Village?" Chen Wuhai asked in surprise, "What are you doing there?"

Xu Qing frowned and said, "Do you know that your father has been there recently?"

Chen Wuhai was even more surprised: "What is my father doing in Luojia Village?"

Xu Qing sighed in his heart, turned around and put away the isolation formation: "This is what I want to know too."

"Remember the list of branches, this matter is left to you, especially those old people who are still alive."

Chen Wuhai nodded and said: "I understand, I will hand it over to you when you come back."

Xu Qing nodded and disappeared into the courtyard.

Partial hospital.

"Let's go, the explanation is over," Xu Qing looked at Wang Geng, "You don't need to look for the person I told you to look for earlier."

Wang was even more surprised: "Do you know who it is?"

Xu Qing nodded, and then said: "Don't ask, I promised that person not to tell."

Wang Geng nodded, already having a clear understanding of Xu Qing.

This young man is very powerful.

Luojia Village.

One thousand and one hundred miles south of Taiwu Xiancheng.

Located in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, surrounded by green trees and beautiful scenery, it is a treasure land of geomantic omen at first glance.

Of course, for practitioners, this place is not enough to see.

When Xu Qing and the others descended to the entrance of the village one step later, Wang Geng had already walked out of the village with a white-haired old man.

At the same time, many villagers in the village looked towards the entrance of the village one after another, knelt down to the group of people, and called "immortals".

"This is Luo Yi, a descendant of the former servant of the branch of the Chen family. Now he is the village head and the oldest person in the village."

Wang Geng said to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing cupped his fists and saluted the old man, the old man hurriedly returned the salute in fear, saying: "The immortal is here, but Xiao Ke is too far away to welcome him. It's really a sin! A sin!"

Xu Qing waved his hand: "You don't need to be too polite, old man. In fact, I'm only in my 20s, so I can only be regarded as a junior. You don't need to be too polite."

The old man was suddenly surprised and terrified.

And Wang Geng looked at Xu Qing in surprise, he rarely saw a cultivator being so polite to an ant-like mortal.

Especially the opponent's strength and identity are so special.

"Have the old people seen practitioners from the Chen family's branch returning to their homeland to travel recently?" Xu Qing asked with a smile, and at the same time led everyone towards the village.

While walking, while observing the surrounding environment, at the same time, he scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense, and also performed the trace tracing technique.

Although it may have been a long time since Chen Zhankong came here, Xu Qing still wanted to try his luck.

"Reporting to the Immortal—"

"Just call me Brother Xu." Xu Qing waved his hand.

The old man hesitated for a moment, Xu Qing saw that he didn't dare, so he let him go: "Forget it, you can call whatever you want."

"Hey, that's right. To the immortals, no one from the Chen family has returned to this place recently. Even if there were, I might not know about it."

The old man said tremblingly.

Xu Qing nodded, this is true.

Ordinary people may not be able to detect the traces of practitioners at all, if they do not actively expose them.

"Old man, do you know how long the branch of the Chen family has lived here? Why did you move away?"

After entering the village, watching the gradually darkening sky in the distance, Wang Geng and Lian Zhen went to the villagers to arrange a place for the three of them, while Xu Qing wandered around the village with the old man and Yu Qingzi.

This village is quite big, and it is built on the mountain. There are people living both on the mountain and on the mountain, but obviously there are more people on the mountain.

"This old man knows a little bit," the old man Luo Yi said slowly, "I heard from my grandfather that my great-grandfather's grandparents lived here for generations and served the Chen family."

"About hundreds of years?"

The old man was a little uncertain: "No one knows how long it will be, but a strange thing happened a hundred years ago, the Chen family moved out overnight, and lived in Taiwu Immortal City thousands of miles away, leaving us alone Those former descendants of the Chen family from my ancestors."

"Strange thing?" Xu Qing asked curiously.

The old man looked at the shadow of the mountains in the distance to the east and said: "Among the older generations in our Luojia Village, there is a story."

"It is rumored that there is a fairy cave in Baikou Mountain, a hundred miles east of the village."

"This cave has a mysterious origin, and sometimes it is surrounded by fairy light and fairy energy, so it is called the fairy cave."

"It is said that idlers should not rush into that place rashly. If they cannot bear the immortal energy, terrible accidents will happen."

"That's why no one dared to break into it for thousands of years."

"However, a hundred years ago, a branch of the Chen family once broke into this fairy cave. After returning, they went crazy and went crazy. They shouted that they saw a fairy and they wanted to ride the wind and leave."

"He died suddenly within three days, and the appearance of death was horrifying."

The old man said tremblingly: "That incident even involved many members of the Chen family and us servants."

"Later, I heard from my great-grandfather that a Taoist passed by here and found an abnormality, saying that it was caused by strange things, and evil spirits killed people!"

"My great-grandfather said he remembered it very clearly, what the Taoist said was—"

"It's weird, not ghosts!"

Hearing this, not only Xu Qing, but even Yu Qingzi felt cold all over.

Weird?

what is that?
The old man didn't seem to notice the change in the expressions of the two of them, and said in a trembling voice full of fear: "Even the immortals of the Chen family can't do anything. In just half a month, five or six immortals died!"

Xu Qing frowned deeply.

Strange things haunting, demons killing people?
But what kind of demon can silently kill a late-stage monk with a spirit?

Still on the Chen family's territory?

Xu Qing also trembled in her heart.

"Go on, what is the origin of the Immortal Cave?"

"Did the elders in the village mention it? Or are there any legends about it?"

Luo Yi nodded, and said slowly: "This reminds me of a story from my childhood, which was passed down by the older generation in the family."

"I heard that my family ancestor once served a powerful immortal of the Chen family, and that immortal reprimanded the juniors of the clan to keep them away from the Immortal Cave while chatting."

"It is said that that place may have been a hiding place for immortals in ancient times, and if you approach it, there will be a mutation, and the contamination is unknown!"

Xu Qing was terrified all of a sudden, and Yu Qingzi at the side even screamed: "The immortal burial place?"

Xu Qing looked at Yu Qingzi: "What's the saying in the alliance?"

Yu Qingzi's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he secretly said to Xu Qing: "If it is really a fairy burial place, the cultivators who transform gods will definitely die if they go there!"

"The so-called immortal is not the cultivator in the mouth of ordinary people, but a real immortal!"

"Junior Brother Xu probably doesn't know that there are two realms above Spirit Transformation, one is called Yin Deficiency, and the other is called Yang Realm."

"And above Yangshi is the real realm of immortals!"

Xu Qing was shocked all of a sudden: "Above Yangshi is the realm of immortals!"

Yuqingzi nodded: "For those monks, a drop of blood is powerful enough to kill us, and the place where the corpses are dirty must be extremely terrifying!"

Xu Qing took a deep breath, calmed down, and suppressed the inexplicable fear and shock in his heart. When he looked at the old man, he returned to normal: "Master, where is the old residence of the Chen family? Is it still there?"

The old man hurriedly said: "Of course it is, it is in the village, and it is well protected by us, but the old house of the Chen family has been abandoned for a long time. Since those immortals died of evil spirits, the Chen family moved out overnight, and no one dares to stay here anymore. live."

Xu Qing asked some more questions, and finally invited several old people in the village to ask them.

It's just that most of the people in the village are ordinary people with a limited lifespan. Many people only heard the old people in the clan talk about the Chen family's affairs, but now they rarely know the specific reasons.

After sending the old man back, Xu Qing and Yu Qingzi returned to the temporary residence.

As soon as Yu Qingzi entered the door, he asked, "Shall we go and have a look around the Immortal Cave?"

Xu Qing glanced at him: "If it's really as scary as you said, shall we go to seek death?"

Yuqingzi said helplessly: "But, depending on the situation, Chen Zhankong might be going to that place. Otherwise, what else is there worth his special trip?"

Xu Qing waved his hand: "Don't worry, there is no evidence pointing to the Immortal Cave, so we don't want to rush there."

"It's not enough to just listen to what these ordinary people say about things here, but also to listen to what the real clan members of the Chen family branch say."

"Well, let's go back first. I asked Chen Wuhai to find the old people from the branch of the Chen family. Listen to what they said. Maybe we will have a better understanding of what happened back then."

Yu Qingzi had no objection, and nodded: "Okay, I will do as you said."

After all, no one wants to court death.
