Imperial City Investigative Department

Wu Chen sighed and said:

"I was calculating a lot, but I forgot one important thing. It was a mass grave with unclaimed bones everywhere. At that time, I only thought she was brave and thought she couldn't see ghosts. She was forced to have no choice but to come up with this idea. This is a stupid method, but there are many ghosts there, many, many, and it can be seen that corpses are everywhere. The location where we parked the carriage was close to the tomb, and she came out from the middle of the tomb. Brother, how did she know? Where are there no bones in the ground? Even if she wants to dig, shouldn't she dig at the outermost place?"

Xu Da was stunned for a moment, and then asked immediately: "What did you remember? Why did you suddenly talk about Aunt Ping?"

Wu Chen seemed not to have heard and continued:
"After rescuing her, the Ghost Mandrill Gang stopped us once and almost killed the three of us. Fortunately, Gu You arrived in time. I had doubts at the time, but Chen Zhong would definitely send someone to Ping Gu's life experience. I secretly investigated. At that time, I thought it was impossible for her to deceive Chen Zhong, so after you and the second brother were injured, I took her and the big head brother to see the murals underground in the mountain col. I asked her directly, and she didn't hide anything. She said that she had been caught by someone wearing a mask with a ghost face, and she was very frank... She insisted on going to the mountain col with me, saying that she didn't know what I was doing, but knew that it was dangerous, so she had to follow me..."

"Are you talking about that time in the second year of high school when you and I were attacked halfway and the carriage couldn't be used? That time when the three of us walked to the mountain col, was it Gu Ping who told us the secret?" Xu Da asked in surprise.

Wu Chen said:
"It can't be said that she told me directly, because she didn't know what we would do. The people from the Ghost Mandrill Gang just asked her to tell me in detail what I had done. They used this to infer what I would do again. She said she thought it was right. I didn't do any harm. I thought it was reasonable at the time. Now I think about how the Ghost Mandarin Gang could be so unpredictable. How could they choose her? They even asked her to wait in the graveyard in advance. Not to mention that she was a young lady, and a strong man might not dare to treat her. Let's live here. How could the people from the Ghost Mandrill Gang easily get in? The deal between them... Why does Aunt Ping trust so much that someone whose face can’t be seen clearly will fulfill his promise to give her money after she completes the task? "

"You think there is something wrong with her. No matter how you think about it, you think there is something wrong. Even if she says something normal, you will feel there is something wrong now." Xing Yun shrugged.

Wu Chen looked at Xing Yun and looked at him like that. Xing Yun was a little bit hairy and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Where did you know about the Picture of Encountering Immortals?"

Xing Yun was stunned for a moment and said, "I heard officials mentioned it."

"What is the picture of encountering immortals?" Lao Ba asked.

The boss explained: "Before, in the cave, I met... Oh, no need to explain. I met someone who claimed to be a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty. Xing Yun asked him where the Immortal Encounter Map was? I remember asking him several times."

Xing Yun touched his nose and smiled: "I was teasing him. Not to mention the previous royal family, even the previous emperor may not know where the Immortal Encounter Map is."

"I know." Wu Chen looked at Xing Yun and said.

Xing Yun opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Xu Da asked anxiously: "You haven't said why you suddenly thought of Aunt Ping?"

Wu Chen saw Xing Yun let out a sigh of relief. Wu Chen sighed and said, "Aunt Ping lied to me!"

Xu Dashi asked: "You mean her soul has not been lost?"

"Those people just said that you won't lose just a part of your soul. If your soul is gone, your body will be useless..."

"Do you believe them?" Xing Yun asked with a frown.

Wu Chen looked at Xing Yun again, his eyes were extremely sharp. Xing Yun was sitting on the ground and suddenly stood up, holding his hand on the hilt of the sword.

"You can't beat me." Wu Chen said calmly.

Many people stood up in a hurry and surrounded Xing Yun.

"The ink was washed on me. As expected, you told me. Even if the blind woman next to the Queen Mother heard something, the Queen Mother would not have been able to arrange the people so quickly, unless... the person who arranged the arrangement was outside the palace." Wu Chen looked at it. Looking forward, there was no emotion or anger in his tone.

"You, when did you know?" Xing Yun let go of the hand holding the sword hilt and sat down on the ground again in frustration and asked.

"There are very few people in this world who know about the Immortal Encounter. You... shouldn't know."

Wu Chen wanted to say that if Datou hadn't told him before leaving, he wouldn't have known, but once he knew, some things would become clear. "But you didn't ask me in the cave." Xing Yun was a little excited: "At that time, I was prepared for how I would answer if you asked, but you didn't ask! When I forgot about it, you came again Suddenly asked..."

"I have eliminated the red marks on your body, why do you still work for them?" Wu Chen looked at Xing Yun and asked.

Xing Yun lowered his head.

"If you want to kill me, there are many opportunities. Why haven't you taken action yet?"

"My mission is not to kill you, but to find the Immortal Encounter Picture."

"What does the Ghost King want?"

"I don't know who the Ghost King is. The Queen Mother wants it."

"The Queen Mother is already at Thousand Buddhas Temple, why can she still threaten you?"

"My brother and I were originally placed by the Queen Mother to be with the officials. Gu You didn't know what happened when he was young, but my brother and I knew about it. Our parents were in the hands of the Queen Mother, so my brother and I had no choice."

Wu Chen remembered that Li Heng once said that Xing Yun was his nanny's child, which was indeed true.

"Have the officials noticed?"

Xing Yun shook his head.

"The Queen Mother is not afraid that you will betray her?"

"Afraid! So I can only follow you this time. My brother and I both took her medicine. She said that if I reveal the truth to you or let you see that something is wrong and you fail to come to Shuangxi Village, my brother will die. , I will also... die."

"Did you take the medicine before she was sent to Thousand Buddhas Temple, or after?"

"After that, Qianfo Temple couldn't trap her! Originally, she wanted us to take another medicine. Fortunately, you left on the night you said you would leave, so she didn't have a chance."

"You and your brother used the same medicine? If your brother is poisoned, you will also die?"

"That's what it means."

Wu Chen frowned and asked, "You and your brother have both drank my blood, how could that kind of medicine be effective?"

Xing Yun lowered his head and murmured: "I don't know, I feel very uncomfortable now."

Wu Chen was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to put Xing Yun down. He saw that Xing Yun's face had turned blue. Wu Chen did not hesitate to cut his finger and drop blood into Xing Yun's mouth.

Xing Yun's body kept twitching, and blood dripped into Xing Yun's mouth. This time, it was not blood, but pure blood. The effect came faster. Xing Yun did not feel uncomfortable for a long time, but Wu Chen saw that he was being The two souls forced out by his blood floated in the air in horror, looking at Xing Yun on the ground.

Wu Chen seemed to understand something. He looked at the soul in the air and said, "It's not the medicine that controls you, it's the souls of others. Once you have alien intentions, these souls will suppress you. If you tell the truth tonight, they will I want to torture you..." (End of Chapter)
