Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 81 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Night falls.

A group of bloodthirsty ants, attracted by the rotting flesh.

The immortal messengers looked at the wreckage in the pit with expressionless faces.

"Get out of the way, Master Chu is coming!"

Following a shout, several immortal messengers surrounding the pit quickly moved aside and bowed.

A land immortal official in a brocade robe walked over.

He looked into the pit, his eyelids twitched, and he turned to look inquiringly at a man in a veiled hat who was accompanying him.

"It's them!"

The man in the veil whispered in a serious tone:
"These two remains are the two disciples who followed Tang Xuanci. What happened?"

The Earth Lord didn't answer. He frowned and asked his subordinates, "What's going on? Have you checked the body?"

A fairy catcher replied:
"Someone has been sent to inform Jin Xianwei, and he has instructed us not to destroy any traces.

"I took a quick look and found that these two people were probably killed by the demon cultivators with their bare hands.

"There are traces of food being eaten on the corpse. Eighty percent of the time... the tender parts were eaten by the demon cultivators."

The land god said:

"Any other discoveries? Any traces of those who traveled with them?"

"We haven't found anything else yet. It seems a few teams of yangcha responsible for searching the demon caves have run into problems, but we're not sure what exactly happened."

"Call Jin Zhan over immediately."

"Yes."

The fairy catcher agreed, turned around and wanted to run up a steep cliff, but at this moment, several black shadows jumped down from above.

The leader was wearing a standard brocade robe with mountain and river patterns, with a Tang Dynasty sword hanging from his waist. His face was darker than the night, and he was obviously a black cat spirit.

When the God of Land saw him coming, he immediately asked:

"Jin Zhan, what happened?"

The black cat glanced at the man in the veiled hat beside him, crossed his hands and bowed to the land, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:
"At noon, three immortal constables and their yang charioteers split up to search the smaller demon dens in the ridge. One of their teams disappeared, and their whereabouts remain unknown."

Ah this?

The God of Land's expression changed, and he looked at the man in the veil through the black veil, his eyes uncertain.

The black cat walked to the front of the pit and scanned the remains of his brothers inside and out with his spiritual sense. Then he squatted down and took out the things in the luggage to check.

After a moment's silence, the Earth Lord said:
"These two corpses and the missing immortal messenger are most likely related to the fugitives that Xiyue Prefecture is helping to search for this time.

"They are likely still hiding in the ridge. We must intensify the blockade and search, not letting go of any suspicious person, and strive to capture them in Shuangcha Ridge.

“Also, I want to emphasize something.

"These fugitives still have unexplained matters. They must be captured alive and brought back for interrogation. Therefore, if you discover any suspicious activity, report it immediately and avoid any rash actions."

The surrounding immortal officials nodded in agreement upon hearing this, only the black cat smiled strangely and said:

"May I ask, Master Chu, are those fugitives really the ones who ran into Shuangcha Ridge?
"The two bodies are obviously monks, and some of the items in their bags are obviously from the Chang'an Palace.

"So what's their connection to the fugitives?"

The land god said unhappily, "What does it matter? How can we know if we don't investigate? Hurry up and find the person, then everything will be clear."

As they were talking, more than a dozen people rushed over from two directions.

"Master Chu, Captain Jin, we have already conducted a door-to-door search following the missing group's movements."

Someone showed a map of Shuangchaling, pointed to the marked location, and said:

"They are responsible for a total of twelve caves. According to the plan, they will search from 'Number 4' at the southeast foot of the mountain to 'Number 16' on the southern slope of the west peak." "It has now been confirmed that since Number 8 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Cave', no demon cultivator has seen them come.

"And there are people at the 'Love Nest', 'Yayun Residence', 'Liyuan', and 'Liuxinghuayuan' houses. They say that immortal messengers came to search their houses today."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fixed their eyes on the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Cave.

The land god exchanged glances with the man in the veiled hat again, and asked with a tone that was three parts confused, three parts depressed, and four parts thoughtful:

"Who lives in this cave? Where is he now?"

"There were two snake demons and a tiger demon living in the cave. Their whereabouts are now unknown."

"How are the cultivation levels of these three demons?"

“It is said that they are in the middle class among the Jindan realm demon cultivators, but they have not fought anyone in public in recent years, so it is difficult to determine whether they are deliberately hiding their strength.

"By the way, we searched the cave and found no gold, silver, or personal weapons, but there was still fresh animal meat on the stove."

The God of Land was speechless. He almost imagined a scene in his mind where a monster found himself in big trouble, killed people to silence them, and fled for fear of being punished.

In his heart, he cursed Mao Dalang for being unreliable, and cursed these monsters for being so daring. He secretly swore that if he caught them, he would destroy them completely!

The black cat seemed to be lost in thought. He glanced at two more immortal catchers and pointed at them. "Speak."

"Master Chu, Jin Xianwei," the leader stepped forward and saluted, saying, "We just went to the Demon King's cave to investigate and discovered something."

"The mountain king's youngest son, Ujiro, took his accountant, guards, and six others with him this morning to collect debts and "inspect fire safety" in the mountains, as per custom.

"But he hasn't returned yet and his whereabouts are unknown."

Ah this?

The expressions on everyone's faces became even weirder and more confused.

Under the questioning of the Earth God and the Black Cat, they quickly repeated the same trick and used the "ABCD..." route to find out which doors Ujiro had knocked on.

It turns out that although the route Ujiro took was different from that of the missing celestial being, the result was surprisingly similar.
Surprisingly, the accident happened during the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Cave" segment.

"Well, this cave is indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"

Black Cat ordered:
"Start your search from this cave, and extend it in the directions of the mountaintop cave and the 'love nest'. Find all the different routes they might have taken, and search them thoroughly.

"After eliminating any potential safety hazards, every suspicious area must be thoroughly investigated with spiritual awareness."

The reason why the second half of the sentence is emphasized is that after the consciousness leaves the meridians, it will change from a "short-range force" to a "long-range force", which follows the inverse square law just like electromagnetic force and gravity.

Although the cultivators of the Three Realms do not understand science, they also know that releasing their spiritual consciousness outside the body to investigate the enemy's situation is equivalent to flying their eyes in front of the enemy to observe.

Unless you are confident that you are not afraid of enemy attacks even after your spiritual consciousness is weakened by a square factor, otherwise you are playing with fire and face the risk of damage to your spiritual consciousness.

After the Fairy Catchers left, the Black Cat said to the Earth God:
"We have to seal off the mountain, search for people, and guard against being harmed by that thug. We simply don't have enough manpower. I think we should report this to the Domain Government immediately and call in the Heavenly Soldiers from Qilian Mountain to assist."

As soon as these words were spoken, before anyone else could react, the man in the veiled hat next to him coughed lightly and walked away.

The God of Land immediately understood and spoke in an official tone, saying that he would ask the king of Shuangchaling for full assistance and rejected Black Cat's proposal.

……

Yayun lives inside.

General Yin collapsed on the mattress in the living room, exhausted both physically and mentally. He felt that what he had experienced during the previous half day was more exciting than everything he had experienced in the first half of his life combined.

Tang Xuanci, who was also injured, was now fully armed and wearing a newly charged cassock. He said to it:

“I’m out to kill someone, and there’s one last one.

"Just stay at home and be quiet. If there's another call, just follow my instructions.

"Even if you're taken away, don't panic. Remember these 18 interrogation tactics: 'Confession leads to leniency,' 'Prisoner's Dilemma,' and 'Good Cop, Bad Cop.'"
