Chapter 340 Acting rashly
After chatting for a while, Li Chuan asked Zhang Xintong to take his family back first and settle them before coming back.

After Zhang Xintong left, Chang Xiao told what he heard from the three nephews.

Chang Xiao said: "When they come to Beijing after the New Year, they listen to Mr. Zhang's arrangements and do some chores on weekdays. Except for Mr. Zhang, they don't know anyone else here, and there are too many places to spend money in the capital. Mr. Zhang He didn't give them much money, so he rarely went out. The chubby one was the oldest one. He seemed to have some thoughts about Mr. Zhang, saying that if he had known that he was here to do chores, he wouldn't have come. He might as well have been at home. how."

Li Chuan nodded and said, "Then I guess there are more infections in the back house."

Zhu Qingyun said: "When I sent my youngest daughter there, she seemed to have some reaction when she saw Mrs. Liu. Maybe she will get better in the future."

"I hope so." Li Chuan said, and then he told Zhu Qingyun and Chang Xiao what Zhang Xintong said when he came to him last night.

After Li Chuan finished speaking, Chang Xiao took the initiative and said: "Leave it to me to investigate the theater troupe. I have a few friends in Beijing. After the theater troupe came to Beijing, which companies did they go to and who did they come into contact with? I can probably ask about it. I’ve been to King Gunlong’s palace several times before.”

"That's good." Li Chuan agreed immediately.

After the three of them chatted casually for a while, Zhu Qingyun suddenly shouted in the direction of the door: "Master, why are you here?"

Li Chuan looked up and saw Gong Wuguang standing at the door.

Zhu Qingyun took out the compass and said, "I brought it with me."

Gong Wuguang shook his head and said: "We have to wait until Yiliang comes back with Qingshuangcao. I estimate that he will be back in five or six days. After he comes back, he will also try Qingshuangcao first. effect, and then start executing.”

After hearing this, Gong Wuguang smiled and said, "I just have time, so I'm here to talk to you. Li Chuan, have Master Zhang's family members been cured?"

Zhu Qingyun also said: "Master, you asked me about the compass. I thought I was going to catch someone soon. I was still thinking about what to do. I haven't practiced my magic yet."

He explained: "I cast a spell in the morning and took a rough look at the situation. The number of infected people did not exceed a hundred, but some of them may have unusual identities. It is difficult to restrain them in Qintian Prison for a long time."

"Qingyun, do you have a compass with you?" Gong Wuguang asked Zhu Qingyun.

Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought it would start now."

"Do you want to use it now?" Li Chuan asked.

"Yes." Zhu Qingyun said.

"Thank you for your hard work," Li Chuan said.

All three stood up.

After Gong Wuguang walked in, he asked them all to sit down and said, "You don't have to be so restrained. I studied Soul Devouring last night and found a way to find other clones and the main body through clones. It's just that this spell is currently only mine in Beijing." cast.”

Gong Wuguang said: "After I cast the spell, the results will be reflected on the compass. Then you can use the compass to find the people infected with the Devouring Spirits and bring them to Qintian Prison."

"Everyone who came today has been cured." Li Chuan said, briefly explaining the situation, and then said: "He will come over later, we will go to his home to have a look."

"I'll go too." Gong Wuguang said.

"Okay." Li Chuan was very happy. "Among the people he will bring later, you should keep a few of them who are infected and don't treat them first." Gong Wuguang told Li Chuan, "You can use them to see if the Green Frost Grass juice works."

"I understand." Li Chuan said, and then he said: "Jian Zheng, I want to compare the structures of Ghost Eater and White Walkers."

"Okay." Gong Wuguang said: "Qingyun has almost mastered the spell to capture the Devouring Souls, just do it."

"There are no White Walkers. A sample from Xialin Village is now in Qingzong." Li Chuan expressed his difficulty.

"Are you planning to go to Qingzong? That's fine, just let Qingyun and you go." Gong Wuguang said.

"If we go to Qingzong, it will take at least half a month to go back and forth." Li Chuan finally said what he had in mind, "I was wondering if I could go to Xinyuan and fish some out now?"

Gong Wuguang was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He looked at Li Chuan's lowered eyebrows and asked, "How do you plan to make money?"

Li Chuan said: "I want to find a safe place, use the Tianyin pot to cause a surge, and sink into the abyss of my heart with the sound of the pot. If possible, sink part of the Devouring Soul into it and see what changes will happen. If If they are really from the same source, maybe they will merge together in the abyss of the heart?”

He said frankly: "I don't know how to investigate the case. Mr. Zhang told me a lot, and Miss Zhu and Mr. Chang also asked a lot of information. But I just listened and couldn't connect them at all."

Gong Wuguang consoled him: "This matter is already very confusing, and I..."

"But I think there is still something I can do." Li Chuan interrupted Gong Wuguang.

His idea was very simple, and he said: "There are only two questions in this case. The first is that the Zhang family was possessed by the spirit-eating spirit. Is it an accident or a conspiracy? If it is a conspiracy, the second question is, the conspiracy is against who."

"It can't be an accident." Gong Wuguang said: "With the luck of the Jiang Dynasty, it is impossible for such a thing to appear unexpectedly in the capital."

Li Chuan said: "That's a conspiracy. We don't know who the other party is or what their identity is. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the open. The troupe walked from Yashan County to the capital several months ago. It took so long for them to do what they wanted. There are too many arrangements. We are now going to investigate the Zhang family, the troupe's actions in the capital, and their behavior along the way. We have spent countless hours investigating, and what we may find is what they want to see. "

"However, there is something that can be determined." Li Chuan said, "That is to determine what the Devouring Soul is."

"If it's from the same source, that's good. Maybe the White Walkers also have some of the characteristics of Devouring Souls. Maybe you can also use the Green Frost Grass to get rid of the White Walkers. There are also spells that can track, capture, and kill White Walkers." To distinguish yourself from ordinary people, you can even contact Immortal Yunyi and ask him for help."

"If not, then... there is no harm in studying the enemy's methods. The same group of people will always have similar methods."

"So in addition to conventional tracing methods, I want to sink into the Heart Abyss, directly observe the White Walkers in the Heart Abyss, and then throw something into it..."

"What else are you going to throw in?" This time, Gong Wuguang interrupted Li Chuan.

"Eating Souls, besides Devouring Souls..." Li Chuan thought seriously and said, "I think we can try raising some butterflies where the boundaries overlap."

"Have you ever talked about this with fellow Daoist Wen?" Gong Wuguang asked.

"Not yet." Li Chuan said.

Gong Wuguang said: "Don't act rashly, wait until I discuss it with fellow Taoist Wen."
