If you were asked to identify an item, would you choose to extract magical powers?

Chapter 46: News from the Yamen, Go to
Qin Shuang seemed to understand what he said, with a look of confusion on his face.

Shen Bai said slowly: "The Heavenly Supervisor has already known about the loss of the strange object. The Heavenly Supervisor also knows the specific function of the strange object."

"What benefits do you think he can gain in this environment?"

Qin Shuang pondered and said, "I can't get it. The Tianjiansi is not a pushover."

Shen Bai smiled and said, "If that's the case, then let's muddy the water. As more and more people join in, the Heavenly Supervisor's vision will inevitably be obstructed. The more muddy the water, the more distracted his vision will be, and the more likely he will be able to find the good stuff in the tomb."

"I have to say, this traitor from your thieves' sect has brains."

Qin Shuang nodded: "If we do this, things will become more and more complicated."

"Human energy is limited."

Shen Bai stood up to pay the bill: "With so many people here, the Tianshi Supervisor's attention has been dispersed, and he can't take care of too many things."

Qin Shuang followed: "Then what should we do?"

"Just wait and see what happens."

Shen Bai walked towards the pawnshop: "Our target is the tomb. As for the guy from the evil gate, it will give the Heavenly Supervisor a headache. Of course, if I can find this guy, I don't mind ending his life with a sword."

Qin Shuang looked at Shen Bai's back, especially after hearing Shen Bai's murderous words, he shuddered and quickly followed.

……

Back at the pawnshop, Shen Bai continued his business as usual.

Qin Shuang sat aside, watching Shen Bai's daily life with curiosity.

"You're such a pawnbroker."

"if not?"

"With your abilities, why would you be willing to be a pawnshop owner?"

"I need to eat, too."

"You can eat better in Maple Forest State."

“You can eat better here.”

Shen Bai was counting the accounts while chatting with Qin Shuang.

Qin Shuang also became more and more curious.

Because in her opinion, Shen Bai's identity as a pawnshop owner did not seem to be an act, because Shen Bai's various operations were so skilled, as if he had really been a pawnshop owner for a long time.

After Shen Baiqing counted the accounts, he went to check the various pawned items again, and then he started to lie down and do nothing.

"Has Lao Zhang returned home and is he so happy that he doesn't want to leave?"

Zhang Chaofeng still didn't come. There were only a few days left of the leave Shen Bai had given him, but he still hadn't received a reply.

Shen Bai still misses the days when Zhang Chaofeng was here. At least when Zhang Chaofeng was here, he could go to the backyard to improve his proficiency.

The two of them just chatted about each other.

After chatting for a while, someone suddenly walked in from outside the door.

"Old Shen, don't go out recently. I'm going to Shengyun County soon."

As soon as Zhou Qing entered the room, he roared at the top of his voice.

Zhou Qing was halfway through his words when he saw Qin Shuang sitting next to Shen Bai, looking very well-behaved, and was immediately stunned.

"What's going on with you?" Zhou Qing asked curiously.

Shen Bai pointed at Qin Shuang and said, "A distant relative, who came here to escape disaster."

Qin Shuang nodded vigorously, looking very cooperative: "Escape."

Zhou Qing asked curiously, "Your parents died a long time ago, and now a distant relative suddenly shows up?"

Shen Bai spread his hands and said, "I don't know why, I'll keep it for now."

The simpler the explanation, the better. Besides, the relationship between the two is strong enough, so there is no need for Shen Bai to say too much.

Zhou Qing came back to his senses and didn't ask any more questions about this matter. He returned to the topic and repeated his purpose.

"Since yesterday, more and more people from the underworld have been coming to the county. It's said that it's related to a Taoist tomb."

Shen Bai knew all these things, but he did not interrupt and waited for Zhou Qing to continue.

After a brief pause, Zhou Qing continued, "Wasn't there a ghost hunter who was injured not long ago?" Upon hearing this, Shen Bai thought of the middle-aged swordsman who came to the pawnshop to pawn his sword.

"We have healed his injuries, and he has told us how to find the fox girl. We are ready to leave immediately. I will take this opportunity to talk to you."

Zhou Qing said, "Shengyun County has been in chaos these days. Don't open the shop too late."

Shen Bai asked, "Old Zhou, is there any other way to find the fox girl?"

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "The ghost hunter has a magic item that can find the fox girl's trace, but the magic item can only be used three times, and there are currently two left."

Shen Bai understood.

If it's a ghost, then everything makes sense.

Monsters have various abilities, so it's normal for there to be monsters that can find fox girls.

"gone."

Zhou Qing stood up: "Old Shen, you must pay attention."

Zhou Qing was busy with official business, so he did not stay any longer and turned around and left.

Shen Bai looked at Zhou Qing's back as he left, then stood up and grasped the long sword at his waist.

Qin Shuang was eating melons on the side. When he saw Shen Bai stand up, he asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Shen Bai turned around and said, "Follow them and see what happens next."

Since there is a clue, Shen Bai plans to go and take a look.

If the fox girl can be dealt with in advance, then for Shen Bai, there will be one less opponent when the subsequent tomb is opened.

And he is also an opponent of the evil gate.

Qin Shuang thought for a moment, then took out a sachet and threw it to Shen Bai.

Shen Bai took it and looked at it. The fragrance seemed to be from Qin Shuang.

Qin Shuang explained, "This is made by a thief. It can mask his own scent. Once the fragrance dissipates, it disappears. I made very little noise when searching the pawnshop before, and that was because of this sachet."

There are so many strange and bizarre abilities in this world, and Shen Bai didn't ask what the principles were.

But after Qin Shuang's actions, Shen Bai had an idea.

"I seem to still lack the ability to hide myself. I can try to find it when I have the chance."

Although he had the idea, Shen Bai didn't think much about it. After taking the sachet, he left the pawnshop with Qin Shuang.

……

From the pawnshop to the yamen, Shen Bai discovered that the sachet was exactly the same as Qin Shuang described.

They were clearly walking on the street, but no one around them came to look at them.

The two of them walked along the street for quite some time before arriving at the yamen.

At this time, the constables of the yamen had gathered and were walking outside under the leadership of Constable Zheng.

Zhou Qing and the middle-aged ghost hunter were among them.

Shen Bai and Qin Shuang looked at each other, followed from a distance, and left Shengyun County quietly.

……

A wilderness.

After leaving Shengyun County, the middle-aged ghost hunter held a compass-like object in his hand and guided the detectives all the way.

After about half an hour's trek, we finally arrived at a clear river.

Shen Bai and Qin Shuang looked up and found that there were wooden stakes standing around the river.

"These... are people!"

Shen Bai frowned when he saw this.

More than ten corpses were tied to wooden stakes, their internal organs had been hollowed out, and the insides were empty.

In addition, by the river not far away, a fox was lying on one of the corpses, gnawing on it.
