Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 457 Confused! (Second update)

"They don't want Xing Yun's life, do they? Quickly see if there is anything left in his body?" Xu Da asked nervously.

Wu Chen shrugged and said: "If Xing Yun dies, they will be like now, floating outside and not knowing where to go, so I think it is impossible to kill them, but they can still torture Xing Yun. If he really If he takes another medicine, I'm afraid my blood won't be able to save him."

"Is he okay now?" Gu You asked.

Wu Chen looked at the several souls in the air and asked, "I heard that once you leave your physical body, you can't go anywhere?"

Several souls are just floating in the air, and you can't see them unless you look carefully.

A thought suddenly flashed through Wu Chen's mind, and he hurriedly said to Xu Da: "Brother, take Lao Ba to find some soil."

Xu Da didn't ask why, he took Lao Ba and left.

Only then did Gu You realize that the road in front of the stone house was paved with stones.

"If you move the stone away, won't there be soil underneath?"

As the eldest brother spoke, he and the second eldest brother began to pry the big stone under their feet. Unexpectedly, there was still a stone underneath when they removed the stone.

"This..." The boss pointed to the layer of rocks below and didn't know what to say.

Wu Chen stood up and looked around and said: "The strange thing about this mountain is that there is no soil. They used iron plates in the caves and the villages are full of stones. Once the souls they swallowed are released, only soil can send them away." Walk."

"How do you know?" Gu You asked.

Wu Chen looked towards the end of the night and said lonely:

"Now that I think about it, it is indeed a little late. We have all been fooled. They just want us to come to Shuangxi Village. It is best to be trapped here to buy them time. If I accidentally die here, it is not impossible. Accept it, as long as what they want to do is already done... So Xing Yun's mission is not to kill me, but to ask me about the whereabouts of Yuxiantu, or put one of their people beside me, so that the Ghost King can rest assured .”

"Why can't I understand?" Xu Da asked anxiously.

"Are they going to harm the official family?" Gu You asked nervously.

At this time, Xing Yun sat up and said a little weakly: "They will not harm the official family for the time being."

Wu Chen looked at the few souls and said, "Just wait aside. After I find the soil, I will send you away. Don't trust others in the next life."

Those souls floated aside.

Gu You scratched his forehead, frowned and asked:

"Why am I getting more and more confused? They want the ink on your hands, but they didn't succeed in Kyoto. I can understand forcing you to leave the capital, but why do you have to come to Shuangxi Village? You destroyed this place in a rage , What good is it to them? Besides, how could the Queen Mother... be with them? "

Wu Chen didn't speak. He was thinking about what Da Tou said before leaving. It was only this night. After this night, he was no match for the Ghost King.

What if the Ghost King is not in Shuangxi Village at all?

Wu Chen lowered his head in pain. Because of his momentary indulgence, he committed such a heinous crime. The Ghost King spent the hundreds of years in his coma collecting countless ghosts. People in this world will slowly turn into pulseless zombies. Who is Li Heng?There is nothing simpler than taking Li Heng's life.

Wu Chen raised his head and looked at the sky. He couldn't see the Ghost King tonight, but he couldn't stay in this mountain!Those devoured souls will also be released. If you want to prevent the souls from floating everywhere, you must find enough soil.

After the mountain is destroyed and the souls are laid to rest in the earth, the Ghost King will be considered as missing his lower body. Even if he cannot be defeated... Wu Chen took a deep breath. He could sacrifice his life to die together, right?
Just as Wu Chen was thinking about it, Xu Da and Lao Ba came back mumbling.

The two did not find the soil, which was expected by Wu Chen.Wu Chen said: "You guys wait here and take good care of Xing Yun. He still needs some time to recover. I'll be right back."

Where to go?

No one asked.

……

Wu Chen flew over rivers and mountains in the dark night, and arrived at Yu Shi'an's side in just a few ups and downs.

Yu Shian was startled.

"Old Yu, order your people to spread out and help me transport the soil!"

Wu Chen didn't take the time to confirm whether there was soil in the mountains near Shuangxi Village. He felt that the Ghost King would definitely have time to sort out the surrounding areas, and the fact that no one could pass the Scorpion Valley was a good reminder. Only outside the Scorpion Valley Only then can we find usable soil!
But time was limited, so the five hundred soldiers had to spread out, pocket by pocket, and hand-to-hand to transport the soil as quickly as possible.

Yu Shian started making arrangements without asking anything.

Wu Chen flew outside Scorpion Valley, packed some soil in his arms, and returned to the top of the mountain again. Xing Yun was just able to stand up.

Wu Chen took out a handful of soil from his arms and sprinkled it towards the souls. The souls were covered with soil and fell to the ground. Soon, the speed of light flashed. Several people in official uniforms stood in the beam with expressions of relief, and then It disappeared in a flash.

"Is it easy to use?" Xu Da asked anxiously.

Wu Chen nodded and said: "Now I will send you across the river. After you pass, you must keep going back and forth to help Yu Shi'an transport the soil. Just transport it to the other side of the river. I will come and get it."

Xu Da said anxiously: "Then you are not going to die from exhaustion? You have to split the mountain and carry the soil back and forth..."

Gu You also said:

"This method doesn't work. After all, one night the ghosts couldn't do anything to us, and we were still far away. This won't work! If you fail to clean up the whole mountain after dawn, it will be even more difficult to think about it. Not only will we If I can’t help you, I will always be a burden to you.”

Wu Chen thought it was right. Even if the water ghosts in the river couldn't move, these people couldn't take the soil into the water. Wu Chen didn't know how many people and how many souls were hidden in this mountain. He was trapped everywhere right now. The four people came out just to delay time. He thought before that the Ghost King knew that the evil spell was banned and knew that he would be freed at dawn. Now it seems that the four people were delaying time to help their accomplices get out of trouble.

How to do?
Wu Chen looked into the distance, then looked at the broken sword that was very peaceful in his hand, and said, "Wait for me for a while, and I'll see if I can knock down the rocks on the opposite side into the river to fill a path."

Wu Chen said and disappeared into the night.

Gu You asked worriedly: "If we keep going like this, will it be dawn?"

Xing Yun lowered his head and said, "This is all God's will!"

"What is God's will? If you had told the truth earlier, would we have been like this?" Gu You said anxiously: "I can understand that you are doing it for your family, but why don't you believe that Wu Chen can keep you safe if you tell the truth?"

"If it were me, I wouldn't hesitate, but with my brother in her hands, she, she is not a human being!"

"Do you really think her power is boundless? If she is really omnipotent, why would you let the officials lock her up? And live in the palace? Isn't the reason why she gives you medicine because she doesn't know what you are doing here? ? If she can really control you thousands of miles away, why would she need to blackmail you with your brother?" Xu Da was also a little anxious.

　happy mid-Autumn Festival!
