The Taoist Priest of the Supernatural World

Chapter 168 Wait a little longer

Seeing Uncle Jiu coming over, Captain Awei hurried over and then whispered to Uncle Jiu:

"Uncle Jiu, please take a look at these people. What's going on? Are they done by humans or those monsters?"

When he said this, Awei paused, then said seriously:
"If it was done by demons and ghosts, then I can only ask you, Uncle Jiu, to take action to deal with them. If it was done by humans, then I will definitely not let them off."

"It took a lot of effort to revive the business in Renjia Town. We can't let these people with bad intentions destroy it!"

At the end, Awei showed his firm determination and even held the pistol tightly in his hand.

Nowadays, the world is in chaos and there are wars on all sides. As the political center, the economy of the north was quite good in the past.

However, with the continuous war, some businessmen in the north and other places began to expand their industries to the south.

Therefore, Renjia Town, located in the south, naturally also benefited from this environment.

Nowadays, business is booming, and several towns including Renjia Town can be regarded as a pure land in this era.

Everyone was happily waiting to make money, but they didn't expect such a bad thing to happen.

He wouldn't agree to this.

After all, if this matter is not investigated thoroughly and an explanation is not given to the foreign guests and merchants, I am afraid they will not be able to leave any property in Renjia Town.

This is a huge amount of money.

Seeing Awei's indignant look, Uncle Jiu nodded, then walked around Awei and looked at the dead people.

After a closer look, they saw that among the dead there were merchants and bodyguards.

But the strange thing is.

These three merchants, who were dressed in gorgeous clothes, died inside the house, and they looked like they were discussing something before they died.

The remaining seven or eight bodyguards were different. They were dressed in shorts and looked very tough.

More importantly, judging by their movements, it looked as if they were running away from each other.

From the direction they fell, it could be seen that some of them wanted to climb out of the wall, while others wanted to rush out through the door.

But without exception, it was as if something had killed them instantly.

Cut off the heads.

It would be impossible to do such a thing without great hatred or great conspiracy.

Moreover, the traces did not look like they were made by an ordinary person, but rather like a surprise attack by a strange person.

"From the situation at the scene, the damage this time was inflicted in two stages. The first stage was to eliminate the merchants in the room, and the second stage was to kill all the escorts."

"Those merchants are quite convenient. If they gather together, we can kill them if we have some skills."

"But I have already observed the other escorts. They all have martial arts skills. Logically speaking, it is impossible for them to die so quickly if they run away in all directions."

"But there were no knife or gun injuries, nor any firearm injuries. This is a bit strange."

"From the current scenes, it is difficult to determine what killed all these people in an instant."

After checking out the environment here, Uncle Nine turned his gaze to Uncle Seven next to him:
"Seventh Uncle, have you found anything?"

He also saw his seventh uncle's performance during this period and knew that he was probably preparing to go north.

From this, we can also infer that Seventh Uncle's Taoism has gradually recovered, which is a remarkable thing.

"It's not like we found anything, but I think you should still take a look at what the foreign merchants have."

"Maybe sometimes this little missing thing is the key!"

When he said this, Song Feng slowly closed his eyes, looking as if he was sleepy.

After hearing what his seventh uncle said, his ninth uncle seemed to realize something and quickly walked to the side of the three merchants.

After a closer look, I saw a box in front of the three merchants lying on all sides.

The box looks very ancient.

Normally, a square box like this should contain food, but at the moment it is empty.

There was no food on the table either.

In this case, what is inside this square box is quite intriguing.

"There's something wrong with the contents of this box..."

Just now he had been thinking about what kind of thing or what kind of means could kill so many people at once.

But when he saw the box, he couldn't help but react:

"Dried blood, and it looks like human blood..."

He rubbed his fingers gently on the bottom of the box and rubbed off some dried human blood.

Then, Uncle Jiu's eyes showed a hint of enlightenment:
"I already know what it is. These merchants are really bold. They dare to transport this thing so carelessly!"

When he said this, he looked at Awei, and then he softly said:

"Awei, tell the rest of the security team to clean up this place. I already know what the murderer is."

"We'll wait and see tonight and help you find this last thing!"

After hearing Uncle Jiu say this, A Wei seemed very happy:

"Uncle Jiu, I knew you could do it!"

While here, he turned around and spoke to the security team members in all directions:
"Didn't you hear what Uncle Jiu said? Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and deal with these bodies." "Now that Uncle Jiu has found the murderer, those who need to be informed should be informed, those who need to be comforted should be comforted, and everyone should go about their business."

After hearing what Awei said, many soldiers began to create this tragic scene.

Those who came from the town went back one by one to report to the mayor and asked them to calm the people.

Seeing Uncle Jiu directing the security team to work there, Qiu Sheng pushed Uncle Qi towards his aunt's rouge shop:

"Seventh Uncle, you have been busy cutting paper figures recently. Could it be that you want to go north to settle your own grudges?"

"Can't you stay here for a while? You're already this old, why don't you stay here and enjoy your retirement."

When he said the last words, Qiu Sheng looked at his seventh uncle expectantly, as if he wanted him to change his mind.

After hearing what Qiu Sheng said, Song Feng chuckled a few times, then knocked on Qiu Sheng's head with the cane in his hand:
"Some things cannot be left unresolved. If they are allowed to accumulate, they may become a disaster in the future."

"I have been wandering the world for so many years, and I have already eliminated most of my enemies. This one is the only one that can be considered a misfortune in my old age."

"What's more, if I let my enemy live, it would be irresponsible of me. It's better for the enemy to die..."

Listening to Uncle Seven saying the cruelest words in the most indifferent tone, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but twitch his lips for a moment:
"Then don't leave alone when you go, Uncle Seventh. I will go with you, so I can take care of you."

After hearing what Qiu Sheng said, Song Feng smiled and then scolded:
"You little brat, do you really think that I'm a lone ranger who travels the world without leaving any message and just leaves when I say I'm going to leave?"

"Your master said that you must follow me to the north. You can't run away even if you want to."

When he said this, Song Feng paused for a moment, then continued:
"But this matter is not too urgent. Now that my Taoism has recovered a little, I just want to make up for my shortcomings."

"After all, when I came all the way here from the north, I used up most of the things I had."

"When I travel the world, if I don't have any backup plans, I won't feel at ease..."

After hearing what his seventh uncle said, Qiu Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. It would be much more convenient if he could let his master go with him:

"That's good. You scared me. I thought you were going to go north to deal with the powerful enemy by yourself."

Hearing Qiu Sheng's words, the aunt, who had already cooked the soup and served it, said softly:
"Your seventh uncle is more cautious than you think. Besides, he is not a strong enemy, at most he is just trying to clear out the enemy."

When she said this, my aunt paused, and then placed the bowl of chicken soup in front of the two of them:
"I have been stewing this soup for several hours. It is the essence that has been concentrated. You should drink it quickly."

"I have ordered a table of dishes from Dingxianglou. We can be considered extravagant and have a good meal at noon today."

After taking a sip of the chicken soup from his aunt, Qiu Sheng finally seemed to react:
"Hmm? Aunt knows what it is?"

Looking at Qiu Sheng who was dumbfounded, my aunt tapped his forehead with her finger, then smiled and said:
"Only you, a little kid, are allowed to participate in the affairs of the spirit world, but your aunt is not allowed to know something about it?"

"Besides, in my entire life, I've drunk more chicken soup than you've eaten rice. Do you really think I've been following my seventh uncle for fun all these years?"

Hearing his aunt say this, Qiu Sheng, who was sipping chicken soup, looked at his aunt with some curiosity:

"Then Aunt, since you know about the spiritual world and about Seventh Uncle, why are you unwilling to let me follow Uncle Nine to learn magic?"

After carefully adding another spoonful of chicken soup to Uncle Seven, Auntie rolled her eyes at Qiu Sheng and then said helplessly:
"Do you really think that practicing is a simple thing? If it weren't for Seventh Uncle agreeing to let you practice, I would have forced you to come back and inherit my rouge shop."

"When you are an ordinary person, you will at most run into some small-time bandits or something like that. If you have money and some skills, you won't be able to endure much hardship."

“But if you really practice magic and get involved in the affairs of the spirit world, you will end up in a dead end where you can neither live nor die.”

When she said this, my aunt subconsciously glanced at my seventh uncle, and then said with emotion:

"Don't you see that even a hero like your seventh uncle has ended up like this? What do you think your future will be like?"

Hearing his aunt say this, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but pause subconsciously, and then looked around in silence.

Seeing Qiu Sheng's look, my aunt sighed, then pointed at the bowl of soup in his hand and said:
"Okay, stop thinking about this and that, and drink your soup quickly."

Hearing what his aunt said, Qiu Sheng nodded, and then drank the chicken soup that his aunt had prepared:
"Mmmmmmm..."

Not long after, a loud shout was heard from outside the courtyard:

"Qiu Sheng, the master wants you to come over!"

Hearing Wencai's shout, Qiu Sheng ate the chicken leg in two bites, then stood up and ran outside:

"Seventh Uncle, Aunt, you guys eat first. I'm going to go see what Master wants me to do. If I can't come back by noon, I'll ask someone to help pass on the message."

Seeing Qiu Sheng rushing out again, the aunt who wanted to give Qiu Sheng another bowl of soup couldn't help but sigh:

"This child is clumsy. He was like this before he started practicing, and he has become even worse since he started practicing."

"I shouldn't have agreed to this and let him join the charity cemetery to practice magic..."

Qiu Sheng was raised by him since he was a child, and if you really talk about the relationship between them, it is like that of a biological child.

How could she not be worried when Qiu Sheng runs around like this all day?

After hearing what Xiao Cui said, Song Feng put down the spoon in his hand, and then said with a smile:
"In this era where heroes are everywhere, no one knows what will happen next, so it's good to have more power in your hands."

"After all, I have something in my hands. I won't end up crying out to the heavens and the earth for help..."

After hearing what Uncle Seven said, Auntie shook her head, and then looked at Uncle Seven seriously:
"Are you really going to leave?"

Looking at the worried aunt in front of him, Song Feng picked up the spoon and tasted a mouthful of chicken soup, then said slowly:
"Now that my power has recovered a little, it is time for me to go to the north to settle the remaining karma."

"Don't worry. Since I have decided to leave, it means I have the confidence to deal with them. I will not put myself in danger..."

Seeing her seventh uncle drinking the chicken soup she had served him, her aunt's face couldn't help but darken:
"Fighting and killing all day long, either fighting or killing, working diligently and trembling with fear every day, what's the point of living like this?"

"Calculate how long you have been here. In the blink of an eye, you will be heading north again. Didn't you say you wanted to spend your remaining years here?"

When she said this, my aunt's expression changed involuntarily, and her eyes were filled with worry:
"I know you have your own ideas and pursuits, but can you stay for a while longer?"
