The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 162 The scourge lasted for thousands of years, you can’t break it
Gong Qi wanted to check the missing persons only on a whim based on the hexagram of Lang Jiuchuan, but he did not expect that there were actually several missing persons cases reported to Jingzhao before the New Year.

Eight women, regardless of age, all had pure yin birthdates, and their fates...

He counted quickly with his hands, all of which were dead. These were only the people in Wujing City, so how many people were there in other counties?
Gong Qi's face was as gloomy as water. The evil spirit hadn't even appeared yet, but several women had already died, and they all had pure yin horoscopes. Was it a coincidence?
Let’s ignore the coincidences. The hexagram is there, and it is a pure yin horoscope, so there aren’t so many coincidences.

So the question is, since the evil spirit has not yet been born, were these women sent to feed the evil spirit? Is this person a human or a demon?
No matter what it is, it is something that nourishes evil.

In order to avoid making mistakes, Gong Qi simply set up a soul-summoning formation and used the birth dates of those women, including Ding Suqiu mentioned by Lang Jiuchuan, to perform a soul-summoning ritual, but without exception, none of them could be summoned.

Gong Qi felt cold all over.

If not even one of them can be summoned, does that mean that not only are they dead, but even their souls are gone?

Gong Qi didn't think too much and immediately took out a precious Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Talisman, made a seal, and burned the talisman to transmit the sound. This matter was of great importance and it would be difficult for him and Gong Si alone to handle it.

After finishing the communication with the young master, Gong Qi looked up at the sky which had already darkened. The heavy snow was falling, mixed with a biting chill.

Shen Qinghe knew something was wrong when he saw his expression, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"They are all dead."

Shen Qinghe's face suddenly darkened.

This New Year is not going to be easy!

Gong Qi turned around and said, "This matter is not something you can handle, but there is one thing. If Lord Shen dares to go, you might as well help investigate. This can also be considered a clue."

Shen Qinghe said coldly: "If it was done by evil spirits, we really can't fight it, but if it was man-made, we are the officials who plead for the people, so we dare not go there, and we also need to give an explanation to the victim."

"Well. Others dare not say it, but the disappearance of Ding Suqiu, the daughter of Ding Mangu, should be related to her husband, the man called Zhuo Yu. If we can follow the clues, we should be able to find someone who is in contact with him, and this person is probably related to these missing women." According to what Lang Jiuchuan said, the person who contacted Zhuo Yu must be a person, and who is standing behind that person needs to be investigated.

Shen Qinghe said, "Even if you don't tell me, I will still investigate. His wife went missing, and as a husband, he didn't report it to Yue's family in time, but kept it secret until Yue's family broke into the mansion and couldn't hide it anymore, and then the news of her eloping spread. This is a huge flaw."

As a man, if he was cheated on, he would either keep it a secret and send a divorce letter, but he would definitely inform his wife's family, otherwise he would have no reason to be accused. As for the woman who was punished for adultery, she would be punished with a divorce, or even killed suddenly, and I'm afraid her family wouldn't dare to say anything.

But Zhuo Yu not only kept it a secret, but when the Yue family broke into the house and he could no longer hide it, he said that his wife had run away with someone, and he really didn't want the Yue family to be sad, so he wanted to find her and then make plans?
Who believes this?
Soon after, something happened to Ding Man Gu. The chain of evidence was so complete, it seemed that they were well prepared and wanted to kill him to put the matter to rest.

No matter how complete the chain of evidence is, Shen Qinghe reserves his opinion because he does not believe in human nature.

"I didn't expect that this little guy is worthy of the protection of the Taoist priest of the Xuan clan." Shen Qinghe looked at Gong Qi, quite surprised, and said, "Is it because he is one of the family members involved in the case?"

Although Gong Qi was choked by his weird tone, he shook his head and said, "It's just someone's request."

"Oh?" Shen Qinghe narrowed his eyes and said, "If Ding Mangu had such connections, he wouldn't have suffered that punishment in Jingzhao Prison, right?"

"He must have burned incense in his previous life to have met such a noble person in the crowd who was willing to protect him." Gong Qi curled his lips.

"Who is it?"

Gong Qi said with a smile: "I'm telling you, you don't know her either. A cunning young lady who is good at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, the ninth girl of Kaiping Marquis' Mansion." There was nothing he couldn't say. If he didn't say anything about an old fox like Shen Qinghe, he would definitely ask Ding Mangu, after all, people had come to his territory.

This person is upright and I don't think he would do anything to a little girl.

Shen Qinghe: “!”

Coincidentally, he actually knew her.

Gong Qi saw that he looked strange, and his heart skipped a beat. He stopped smiling and said, "Why, do you know him, sir?"

"Where is Little Nine Lady now?"

Gong Qi: “…”

This is the default.

Hey, Tianzun, what should I do if he has a little facial pain?
Gong Qi watched Shen Qinghe perform the facial changing show. The cold face disappeared, becoming gentle and kind. He talked more, but all his questions were about Lang Jiuchuan.

He asked questions like whether the person had grown taller, gained weight, whether he was in good health, whether he had been bullied, etc., like an old father.

Also, what the hell is that crystal in the corners of his eyes? Why do his eyes become wet as he talks, and he looks as sad as if Lang Jiuchuan is weak and miserable.

Gong Qi quickly said goodbye.

Shen Qinghe snorted. Anyway, his wife didn't need to go back to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, and his daughter was not in Wujing and never came back on the second day of the Chinese New Year. Why not the three of them go to the Huguo Temple and stay overnight? This would give Shen Peng a chance to thank them.
Just do it.

Lang Jiuchuan didn't know yet that an old friend was coming. She had a vegetarian meal, locked herself in the meditation room, and set up a maze array in the room to prevent anyone from breaking in. Then she lit incense and summoned the talisman pen.

The Jade Bone Talisman Pen, when driven by the mind, can go against destiny and determine the fate of the world. It can be used as a talisman or as a talisman knife to engrave new patterns, carrying its own divine meaning.

She didn't need to go through so much trouble, but since the Vajra Pagoda was stolen from the Feng family and wandered around for many years, if it hadn't fallen into her hands, it would probably have remained sunk under the waterside pavilion of the Ou family, completely turning into a sinister and evil magical weapon.

Now it is hers. In order to prevent the Feng family from robbing it in the future, she must not only completely eliminate the bloody evil spirit from the Vajra Pagoda, but also temper it again. As for how to temper it, she already has an idea. Now, she has to add some Taoist patterns to it first.

She also had an idea of how to change it. That was to let her soul enter the tower, remove the evil spirit and change the pattern, so as to guide the spirit of the weapon to resonate with her and recognize it as her master. Only then could it completely belong to her.

"Before midnight, even if the sky falls, don't let anyone disturb me." Lang Jiuchuan said to Jiang Che, "If I am disturbed, my Yuan Soul will be attacked in the tower. I'm afraid I won't be able to get out and will become a weapon soul."

Once the Yuan Soul enters the tower and is attacked back, she will become the weapon soul inside and can only wait for the next master to appear.

Jiang Che: "Your soul is not complete, yet you want to gamble so much. You are really crazy to a new level. If you really get killed in it..."

Lang Jiuchuan looked at it steadily and said, "If it dies in there, then you can help me find another soul and two spirits."

The general was startled for a moment, then quickly swung out, leaving behind a sentence: "Come on, the scourge has lasted for a thousand years, you can't break it."

Damn it, this lunatic is making it so upset.
