Chapter 155: Searching for a Person (Part 2)

Under the cover of Pei Xiaolou, Qi Xuansu successfully escaped from Zhang Yuelu's "devil's claws" and began to search for Liuhu.

However, Qi Xuansu did not search aimlessly, but first sorted out his thoughts.

If a heavenly being robbed Liuhu, even if the heavenly being could fly to the sky and escape to the earth, it would be impossible for the heavenly being not to leave even the slightest trace of the horse's hooves. After all, it was unlikely that the heavenly being would abduct the horse together.

If it is some kind of moving spell, it is unlikely. This kind of spell requires a certain amount of preparation time and is unlikely to be improvised. It must be targeted. So how do you predict that Liuhu will definitely enter the woods?

So both possibilities can be ruled out.

Qi Xuansu suddenly thought of a possibility, could there be something wrong with "Bu Yue"?

It turns out that "Bu Yue" is an ordinary old horse, a little clever, not very strong, and not resistant to freezing. But after following him on a trip to the "Ghost Kingdom Cave", "Buyue" seemed to be completely reborn. Not only did he not look old, but he also had a yin energy about him.

When Qi Xuansu thought of this, he couldn't help but think of the magical power he had obtained from the "Jade of Death", which could open a "Yin-Yang Gate" leading to the "Ghost Kingdom Cave", although he could not pass through the "Yin-Yang Gate" due to his own blood. ", but that doesn't mean other "people" can't pass through.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu waited patiently until nightfall, and after confirming that no one was following him, he quietly left Jiangling Mansion, and then summoned the female ghost he had subdued in a deserted place.

The female ghost's intelligence is not low, and she is naturally very sensitive to yin energy. Under the guidance of the female ghost, Qi Xuansu found a cemetery outside the city, and could even see a few will-o'-the-wisps.

This is the first time Qi Xuansu has used this kind of magical power. There is no need to draw talismans, recite incantations, or fight on foot, but there are certain requirements for the loss of mana. In other words, the amount of mana consumed has a great relationship with the environment. If it is a place with strong Yin Qi, such as the location of Emperor Liu in the Ghost Kingdom Cave, the consumption will be minimal, but if it is a normal place, the mana will be greatly lost. If it is a place with strong yang energy, it may even be impossible to open the portal.

Even though the cemetery here has some yin energy, it is quite limited close to a densely populated city like Jiangling Mansion, so after Qi Xuansu opened the portal, he felt that nearly half of his mana was gone in an instant.

Then I saw the sparks connecting into a line, and then the lines connected end to end, turning into a rectangular faint portal.

Ripples rippled through the portal.

Logically speaking, this portal can summon one of the three great yin beings, but looking at this posture, it does not look like the three great yin beings coming to the human world.

After a moment, a horse head poked out from the door. When he saw Qi Xuansu, he blinked first and then snorted.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he really guessed it right.

Then he saw "Bu Yue" walking out of the door, with two girls, one big and one little girl, sitting on horseback.

The older girl is naturally Liu Hu, and the younger girl is considered a half-acquaintance, and is Mr. Yin's granddaughter.

Qi Xuansu still can't figure out where the granddaughter of a thousand-year-old ghost came from.

"Hello." Miss Yin took the initiative to wave to Qi Xuansu, "You are wearing a mask? It's really interesting."

Probably only Qi Xuansu can open this portal, so even if Qi Xuansu wears a white fox mask that can hide his aura, he still can't hide it from Miss Yin. But there are other possibilities. For example, Miss Yin may be able to see through the appearance.

"Hello, Miss Yin." Qi Xuansu cupped his hands and looked at Liu Hu, who was sitting behind Miss Yin.

Liu Hu's face turned slightly pale. Although this "overcast" didn't last long, it shocked her quite a bit. Fortunately, Miss Yin comforted her and said she would be able to leave soon, and she felt a little relieved. Now it seems that he did not lie to her.

Liu Hu got off the horse, came to Qi Xuansu's side, and said softly: "Uncle Wei."

Qi Xuansu nodded slightly, very calmly, as if everything was as he expected, and he deliberately sent Liu Hu to the "Ghost Country Cave" for refuge.

Qi Xuansu turned his attention to "Bu Yue" again, reached out and patted the horse's head: "You actually have the ability to travel through yin and yang? It's quite interesting to run to the 'Ghost Kingdom Cave Sky' when the situation is bad."

"Buyue" shook his head.

Miss Yin jumped off the horse and said goodbye to Qi Xuansu: "It's time for me to go back. If you have anything to do in the future, just open this door. By the way, your horse can also be stored here. It can come here on its own. I I will take care of it for you.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Xuansu glanced at "Bu Yue" and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Yin."

Little Miss Yin turned around and walked back into the portal. The portal opened by Qi Xuansu quickly shrank, and finally turned into a black spot and disappeared completely.

Qi Xuansu put away the female ghosts, leaving only "Bu Yue" and Liu Hu.

Liu Hu asked: "Uncle Wei, are we going to Jiangzhou next?"

Qi Xuansu pondered: "Zhang Qingxiao and Pei Zhenren are going to Jiangzhou to continue investigating the case. It's not easy for us to go with them. But this case is related to Taiping Road. If we go to Zhili by land through Taiping Road, the risk is really not small. But it’s a dilemma. But there is a third way, which is to take a boat north along the Grand Canal. You can stay on the boat all the way without going into the city. "

Qi Xuansu was not so much discussing with Liu Hu as he was asking and answering questions for himself.

Waterway, seaway, landway. All roads lead to Zhili.

After the incident at Zixian Mountain, Qi Xuansu truly felt what a huge force Taiping Dao was. They could mobilize hundreds of martial arts masters to destroy the Yuan family. They held a banquet in the morning and burned it down in the evening. Even Taiping Dao or Li family didn't have to do it themselves. Only the peripheral forces of Li family came forward to clean up the mess.

Now he was asked to cross the core sphere of influence of Taiping Dao and Li family. If he said he didn't feel guilty, it would be self-deception.

However, Qi Xuansu also had an advantage, that is, he was a small target, and Taiping Dao was unlikely to notice him as a small figure.

Even if it was him, a small figure, who stirred up the situation, snatched away the "Xuanyu", killed Shen Yu'ai and Su Ran, and indirectly caused the outbreak of the Zixian Mountain case, Taiping Dao was not aware of it.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu suddenly found a problem.

These three things are all related to Qi Niang.

Now thinking back, the fight for "Xuanyu" in Fengtai County was really strange. Taiping Dao actually only sent a group of ordinary Qingluan Guards and two trial centurions, and never saw other people from Taiping Dao. Even if the Taiping Dao had the consideration of not wanting to attract the attention of the Zhengyi Dao and Quanzhen Dao, it was still not very reasonable.

If Qi Niang had not secretly escorted him, would Qi Xuansu have been able to meet the masters of the Taiping Dao? Or did Qi Niang kill more than just Zhuge Yongming?

There is no need to say more about Shen Yu'ai's matter. That was Qi Xuansu's first time killing someone, and it was Qi Niang who taught him step by step.

As for the matter of Zixian Mountain, it seems to have nothing to do with Qi Niang, but it was Qi Niang who facilitated this "business".

Qi Xuansu had long known that Qi Niang was not simple, but he did not expect that Qi Niang was so complicated.

If Qi Niang represented the Qingping Society, then referring to the relationship between the "Heavenly Court" and the Taiping Dao, whose peripheral force was the Qingping Society? Zhengyi Dao? Or Quanzhen Dao? Or the Confucian School that has been silent all these years?

Qi Xuansu did not think deeply about it, nor did he want to think deeply about it.

Even if Qi Niang had some plans, she did not harm him, let alone force him to do anything.

Not to mention that Qi Niang was his lifesaver, if it weren't for Qi Niang, he would have been killed by someone else. Even if he survived by chance, without Qi Niang's help, let alone revenge for his master, he wouldn't even know who his enemy was.

Without Qi Niang, he wouldn't have the profound knowledge and bright future he has today. He would just be an ordinary wandering Taoist priest. Zhang Yuelu was an unattainable fairy in the sky. Pei Xiaolou and Lei Xiaohuan were big shots who wouldn't look at him straight in the eye. Yue Liuli and Wan Xiuwu were young talents that he would never catch up with in his lifetime. He could only swallow the hatred of the past.

What is a rebirth of kindness? This is it.

This is how a mother treats her own son.

Because of this, Qi Xuansu never thought deeply about the deep meaning behind Qi Niang's actions.

What's the use of thinking about it? The two people who seemed to be mother and son had a gap, and then became lonely?

It doesn't make any sense.

Qi Xuansu gathered his thoughts and finally made a decision: "We will take the Grand Canal."
