Catching Monsters

Chapter 46 Searching Nanmanju

Among these, gold is the most difficult.

As for other things, although there are some special requirements, they are not difficult to get.

For example, clean water is actually rain water that has not touched the ground.

Frozen rare earth is a whitish soil found near Nanzhou Prefecture that is very effective for farming.

The other four items cost less than one or two taels of silver.

Jiang Yun was a principled man, so he took out a tael of silver and gave it to Xu Xiaogang...

He placed these five things in a circle on the carpet in the house in the order of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

Then he sat in the middle, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:
"When the mind and spirit are united, the qi should follow each other, and when they are in harmony, no matter how things change, they will not be startled."

“No delusion, no anger, no desire, no seeking, no giving up, no abandonment, no action, no self.”

He made hand gestures with both hands, closed his eyes tightly, and his whole demeanor suddenly changed.

Soon, the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth slowly floated up and surrounded him.

He breathed in and out in a certain rhythm, and the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth quickly rushed towards the magic circle.

"Hiss, such a strong spiritual energy." Xu Suwen's eyes were a little surprised.

These spiritual energies poured into Jiang Yun's body at an extremely fast speed.

Expanding the blood vessels in Jiang Yun's body.

The purpose of cultivation is to use spiritual energy to expand the tendons and veins so that more spiritual energy can be contained in the body.

Xu Xiaogang stood in the house and whispered, "Sister, my brother-in-law's mana at this moment is probably at the ninth level of the Taoist realm."

Xu Suwen beside him nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "With such a powerful spiritual energy, I'm afraid he will soon encounter the bottleneck of the ninth-grade entry into the realm of Taoism."

Time passed little by little.

Furthermore, gold, wood, water, fire and earth also disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye as the magic circle operated.

"hiss."

Xu Xiaogang sat down on the ground, closed his eyes, and started breathing in and out using the martial arts "Xisui Jing".

"What are you doing?" Xu Su asked in a daze.

"Sister, the spiritual energy that is overflowing is more than four or five times more dense than usual."

“What a waste.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Suwen came to his senses and quickly sat down cross-legged, practicing breathing exercises based on the "Xisui Jing".

Jiang Qiaoqiao, who was in the next room, looked at Jiang Yun and the other two curiously through the window.

She blinked. It seemed that her elder brother was practicing with Miss Xu and Brother Xu?

Does big brother want to learn martial arts?

After a whole night, the three pounds of gold were completely consumed.

The rich spiritual energy in the house gradually dissipated.

Jiang Yun opened his eyes and felt the magic power in his body, which had increased by more than three times compared to last night.

He couldn't help but show joy in his heart.

Xu Suwen and Xu Xiaogang, a brother and sister in the room, also opened their eyes.

Both of them had a look of joy on their faces.

"Sister, I'm almost reaching the peak of the seventh level of tendon refining." Xu Xiaogang said in surprise.

Then, he looked at Jiang Yun with an overly fiery look: "Brother-in-law, tonight, I will go to the Tongzhi again and get some gold."

Jiang Yun felt a little frightened by his gaze.

It seemed as if he would pounce on her at any moment...

"Where is Qiaoqiao?" Jiang Yun opened his eyes and looked towards the next room.

Jiang Qiaoqiao was sleeping soundly inside, and Jiang Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past few days, during the day, Xu Xiaogang went to the officials in the government office and took turns visiting them...

At night, Jiang Yun practiced, and he and Xu Suwen drank some soup with him.

Have fun.

……

In the evening, at the government office.

The prefect Zhang Wenqi was sitting in front of the desk in the main hall. He slammed the desk and yelled at the head of the police, Qian, in front of him, "It's been five days! Haven't you found Jiang Yun yet?"

"You know, the palace is pressing for help." Qian Buchou said respectfully, "Master, we have searched the entire city thoroughly."

"The city gates have also been sealed, but there is no trace of Jiang Yun."

"In my opinion, this guy may have already escaped from the city."

Zhang Wenqi frowned deeply and said in a cold voice: "You don't have to worry about money. Don't think I don't know that you and Jiang Yun are in frequent contact."

"I have to remind you that he is the criminal who killed the prince. If you dare to harbor him, do you know what will happen? You will be charged with complicity."

"The whole family will be executed."

When Qian Buchou heard these four words, his eyelids trembled and he said hurriedly, "Master Zhang, you know me."

"I am a coward, how dare I protect the murderer who killed the prince."

"Besides, it's not that easy to find someone who can sneak into the palace and kill the prince."

Hearing this, Zhang Wenqi picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, nodded slightly, and calmed down a little. He lowered his voice and said, "The palace said that the old prince cannot be buried unless the murderer is found."

"And I gave you this amount, as long as you catch Jiang Yun."

As he spoke, Zhang Wenqi stretched out a finger.

Qian Buchou was stunned for a moment and asked, "One thousand taels? For me?"

"How can I give you all of it?" Zhang Wenqi rolled his eyes at Qian Buchou and said slowly, "I, the Tongzhi, the Tongpan and others have also been sleepless these past few days. We have gone to great lengths to find this Jiang Yun, so naturally we have to take a little bit of it."

"You should have fifty taels in your hands."

"Don't think it's too little..."

Qian Buchou cursed in his heart, what a bunch of bastards, I worked so hard to find someone everywhere, even though it was just for show.

But even in this icy and snowy weather, we still rode horses around the city.

This group of guys, just drinking tea and talking in the house, took all the benefits.

Of course, despite thinking about it, he still smiled and said, "Thank you, sir. This is a lot of money."

Unexpectedly, the parrot in the cage triggered the keyword.

Suddenly he opened his mouth and shouted: "Master Xu, we have no money, no money, no money..."

Qian Buchou looked at Zhang Wenqi in surprise, and Zhang Wenqi quickly coughed to make the parrot shut up.

Zhang Wenqi also didn't know why Lord Xu Xiaogang's personality suddenly changed during this period.

He collects money faster than I do.

And he was very picky, he didn't want silver, he only wanted gold.

"Is there any place that hasn't been searched?" Zhang Wenqi quickly changed the subject.

"The government office." Qian Buchou said.

"Where is Nanmanju?" Zhang Wenqi suddenly asked.

"After all, there are distinguished guests living in Nanmanju. If we search and disturb them, wouldn't that be..."

Zhang Wenqi snorted coldly and said, "The palace is angry. I'm sure you can understand. Search!"

"Yes." Qian Buchou nodded reluctantly, turned around and left.

Zhang Wenqi reminded: "Remember to explain to those distinguished guests that this is an order from the palace and has nothing to do with me."

"Don't worry, my lord."

Qian Buchou took a deep breath and thought to himself that this was not good.

But it has been delayed for five days.

It really can't be delayed any longer.

This Nanmanju must be searched.

Soon, he called his detectives together.

They all rushed towards Nanmanju.

Soon, Qian Buchou arrived downstairs of Nanmanju.

He glanced at Xu Suwen's room on the third floor.

Then he yelled at the top of his lungs, so loud that it could be heard in the next street, "Seal off Nanmanju!"

"No one is allowed to enter or leave. Search thoroughly! Jiang Yun must be found!"
