Chapter 263 Selling flaws (4000 words two in one chapter)
Jie Ligu was very excited because after a few days, the high priest possessed him again.
Originally, he thought that contact with the outside of the city was completely cut off, but now it seems that the high priest is just choosing a suitable time.
Once the time is right, the high priest will possess you without hesitation.
This time, the high priest told him through possession that the Southern Barbarians, led by the witch and Gu master, had captured Jinguan City.
After taking Jinguan City, they did not stay much elsewhere in Jiannan Road, but went straight to Chang'an.
The road to Shu is naturally dangerous, so even the Southern Barbarians who are extremely familiar with surviving in the mountains may not be able to march very fast.
So it should be some time before the Nanman troops arrive at the city...
What Jie Ligu needs to do now is to find the center of the Chang'an City Talisman Array as much as possible and then destroy or interfere with it.
This is of course not an easy task, because only a very few people know the formation of the Chang'an City Formation.
Jie Ligu must first find these people, and then he can find the formation eye.
"May the high priest bless me and help me find the formation eye."
Since he was willing to sneak into Chang'an City to do detailed work, Jie Ligu put his own life and death at risk.
The Central Plains people like to call such people dead soldiers.
Jie Ligu liked this statement very much.
He is not afraid of death, because in the eyes of the Demon Sect, death is a kind of reincarnation and a process towards life.
If his death is meaningful and can help the Demon Sect and the northern barbarian grassland people take over the Central Plains, then it will be worthwhile.
Jie Ligu knew he had to find a breakthrough.
"This breakthrough may be the bad guy Zhao Xun."
After a long period of observation, Jie Ligu discovered that Zhao Xun was an existence that everyone could enjoy.
The imperial court, the Taoist sect, and even the academy were very optimistic about him and entrusted him with important responsibilities.
Overall, Zhao Xun's performance was remarkable.
This is Jie Ligu’s judgment and evaluation made entirely from an objective standpoint.
But if we judge and evaluate from the perspective of opponents and enemies, Jie Ligu doesn't think Zhao Xun is very respectable.
"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to get close to him."
Jie Ligu knew that it was not easy to do this.
Zhao Xun's current official position is to act as an agent for the bad commander, and he works in the bad man's yamen for a long time. The bad man's yamen is located in the imperial city, so the effect of the talisman array is stronger.
It was unrealistic to take action inside the Bad People's Office, so we could only wait until Zhao Xun left the Bad People's Office.
And Jie Ligu discovered that Zhao Xun's life during this period was just two points and one line.
Either he works in the criminal office or goes out of the imperial city to investigate cases.
So the best way to get close to Zhao Xun is to lure him into taking the bait.
So Jie Ligu decided to deliberately expose some flaws so that Zhao Xun could follow the clues and find them.
Nora was caught in a liquor store before.
This shows that Zhao Xun or his spirit beast has a very sensitive sense of smell.
They can look for the slightest smell right away.
So this time Jie Ligu decided to follow the same pattern.
Zhao Xun, I hope you won’t disappoint me.
Jie Ligu had placed all his treasures on Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun has been working like crazy these days.
Because all the demon sect practitioners imprisoned in the dungeon blew themselves up and died, in order not to be held accountable by Emperor Xianlong, he must next find clues about the remaining demon sect practitioners and capture them.
There was not much time left for him, and Zhao Xun was like a tight spring, not daring to slack off for a moment.
"Mingyun, Mingyun! Look at this, I found it in the backyard of a restaurant in Dongshi."
Jia Xingwen handed a piece of rag to Zhao Xun, looking very excited.
"Um?"
Zhao Xun, who was reading the file, took the rag, smelled it and frowned: "It smells so strong of the Demon Sect."
Yes, the most obvious improvement in Zhao Xun's sense of smell after entering the sixth level realm.
Although it is far inferior to bugs like spiritual beasts, it is already an above-average existence among practitioners.
Zhao Xun once spent a long time alone in the cellar of a wine shop with Nora, the demon sect enchantress, and was very sensitive to the smell of demon sect practitioners.
He knew very well that this smell belonged to people from the Demon Sect.
and
Zhao Xun felt that the smell was very familiar, and seemed to be very similar to Nora's.
No, Nora is already dead, this cannot be Nora.
Although people in the Demon Sect practice evil spirits, they are not immortal, let alone a hydra.
So death is death.
So the smell of this person being similar to Nora can only mean that this person has been in contact with Nora.
There is an intersection between these two demon sect practitioners!
This is the most important judgment Zhao Xun made!
"Where is this restaurant?"
“Also in Dongshi”
Hiss, upon hearing this, Zhao Xun became even more convinced of his judgment.
"Let's go to this restaurant now, let's go now!"
When the restaurant owner saw a group of bad guys rushing towards him, he was completely stunned.
"Oh, sir, please tell me what you have to say. We are all good citizens, and we are all engaged in serious business. How can we continue to do business if you just rush in with your people and tell us other guests what to think?"
The restaurant owner complained very aggrievedly.
"We have traced that a practitioner from the Demon Sect came to your restaurant, so we came here to investigate. You'd better cooperate with the investigation, otherwise you will be punished as a member of the Demon Sect."
Wangcai said sharply.
"Oh, sir, you have to be reasonable. You are a cultivator of the Demon Sect. I'm scared to death. We are all good people doing business honestly, how can we be accomplices of the Demon Sect."
"Don't scare people with wealth."
Zhao Xun came over, pulled Wangcai back, and asked the owner of the restaurant in person: "Store, my colleague was a little anxious just now, don't be offended. But we did find a demon sect practitioner.
, and he did come to your restaurant. This rag was accidentally left behind by him."
The restaurant owner's eyes were as wide as cowbells, but he didn't believe anything he said.
"Oh, sir, this is just an ordinary piece of rag. How can you prove that it was left behind by a practitioner of the Demon Sect?"
"Because this piece of cloth is unusual."
Zhao Xun paused: "Maybe it's because of the smell."
Zhao Xun ordered someone to bring in a spirit dog, and then the spirit dog circled back and forth around the rag, barking wildly as it turned.
"You also saw that this spirit dog is very sensitive to the smell of rags, because it has the smell of Demon Sect practitioners. Spirit dogs can't make mistakes."
The restaurant owner was doubtful, seeing that this spirit dog was very different from ordinary dogs, so he didn't dare to say anything.
"So please cooperate with our investigation."
Zhao Xun behaved very appropriately from beginning to end, and his long-term experience has enabled him to handle this type of matter with ease.
"Okay, if you have anything to ask, feel free to ask. As long as I know, I will tell you everything and I will never hide it."
...
...
The restaurant owner never expected that a demon sect practitioner would appear in his restaurant.
Although he couldn't believe it, judging from Zhao Xun's confident expression, there would be no problem.
It is true that this person was hiding in the restaurant.
But now this demon sect practitioner has disappeared.
This made the restaurant owner even more worried.
"Sir, please believe me. I am definitely not an accomplice of that demon sect practitioner, and there is absolutely no way I would take in such an evildoer. You must help me catch him and clear my name, otherwise our business will not be the same in the future.
How to do it."
Of course Zhao Xun knew that the restaurant owner was not lying, because he had just used his mental observation skills to confirm that what he told was the truth.
But he was also extremely disappointed, because it meant that the practitioner who was inextricably linked to Nora just came to this restaurant to hide in a hurry, and then left without hesitation.
The clue was lost.
Is the clue really broken?
Of course, Zhao Xun would not give up so easily. He knew very well that the only chance now was to rely on the scent left by the Demon Sect practitioner to track him.
It seems I have to rely on you, Pipi Xia, Zhao Xun said secretly in his heart.
Compared with the spirit dog, the white dragon's sense of smell is more sensitive. The white dragon was the first to discover Nora's traces last time, otherwise the bad guys would not have captured Nora so quickly.
This time Zhao Xun will follow the same pattern.
...
...
The fish took the bait.
Jie Ligu felt very satisfied.
He left a very obvious smell, and Zhao Xun did not disappoint him and followed the smell directly to the restaurant.
If Jie Ligu was not mistaken, Zhao Xun would follow the scent clues he left in advance and chase after him.
At that time, Jie Ligu could kill this smart-aleck bad guy with his own hands.
Nora was captured last time because she underestimated the enemy.
As long as Jie Ligu paid attention to Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun would have no chance of winning.
It is impossible for anyone to compete with the Demon Sect practitioners in terms of strength.
The academy is no exception.
What's more, this academy disciple only has a sixth-grade cultivation level, which is not worth mentioning at all.
Since the high priest had told Jie Ligu to get rid of Zhao Xun through possession, Jie Ligu would not let Zhao Xun continue to live.
The King of Hell tells you to die at the third watch, but he will never leave you until the fifth watch.
...
...
Tracking is a required course for bad people.
Zhao Xun still remembers the first day he became a delinquent. Brother Jia Xingwen, who was responsible for taking him, told him that the core of tracking is to follow the scent. And those traces such as footprints and handprints may actually be to a large extent.
Blind tricks are not worth spending too much time on.
There is a demonic spirit here, and it has become a very interesting joke between Zhao Xun and Jia Xingwen.
And now Zhao Xun must rely on scent to find the remnants of the Demon Sect hidden in Chang'an City.
"Pippi Shrimp, let's go."
Zhao Xun patted the back of the white dragon's neck lovingly, and then rubbed his head against the scales of the white dragon.
The white dragon had a spirit and knew what Zhao Xun meant, so he immediately snorted in response.
Zhao Xun had already let Bai Jiaolong smell the scent of the remnants of the Demon Sect before. As long as Bai Jiaolong followed the smell and found it, he would definitely be able to find out the lurking guy.
Zhao Xun is very confident about this, which is the confidence of an academy disciple.
...
...
I have to say that flying on a dragon is still faster than parkour at the top of Chang'an City.
Although parkour sounds exciting, in fact the speed is really limited, and it is simply incomparable to flying on a dragon or flying with a sword.
And flying on a dragon sounds more cool. Although it is likely to be targeted by sharp-eyed guys, such as Yushi Yanguan, who will then turn on the troll mode and spray all the way, but in fact this kind of thing is to earn fame.
Great opportunity.
The Censor Yan Guan hoped to express his attributes as an outspoken official.
Zhao Xun can also use this to show his determination to track down the people in the Demon Sect, even at the risk of being impeached by the Yushi Yanguan.
It can be said that both sides get what they need.
As for Emperor Xianlong... Zhao Xun has shown such hard work, should this ungrateful dog emperor shut up his stinking mouth?
The white dragon flew all the way over Chang'an City, and finally stopped over a dilapidated mansion.
The white dragon kept circling in the sky, occasionally letting out one or two hysterical roars.
Um?
Has this been found?
Zhao Xun is very familiar with the habits of Pipi shrimp and knows that Pipi shrimp will have this reaction after finding the target.
"Did you find it, little one?"
Zhao Xun whispered against the back of Pipixia's neck.
The white dragon had a spirit, and as if he could understand Zhao Xun's words, he snorted excitedly and responded.
"Okay, that's good."
Zhao Xun ordered with emotion: "Pipixia, let's go and capture this remnant of the Demon Sect together."
...
...
Here it comes, Zhao Xun is really here.
A smile appeared on Jie Ligu's lips, and his eyes were filled with pride.
The fish was still hooked.
Unexpectedly, he was hooked on a straight bait, but Zhao Xun still bit the hook.
In this case, today is the anniversary of his death.
Jieli Gubinara's cultivation level is higher than that of Nala, and she is a third-level human-demon realm of the Demon Sect.
A strong person in the human-demonic realm can transform into many clones to confuse his opponents.
In a duel, this is simply a killer weapon.
Because the opponent doesn't know which one is the real one, he won't make a targeted response.
When masters exchange moves, victory or defeat, life or death can be determined by just a few centimeters.
Jie Ligu was not worried at all. Killing a sixth-level scumbag with his third-level human-demon realm was as easy as crushing an ant.
But when Jie Ligu saw Zhao Xun coming on a dragon, he still frowned.
"I didn't expect the way you appeared."
Jie Ligu half-mockingly said: "It does look more handsome than our demon sect's flying one."
"What do you call it?"
Zhao Xun said with a half-smile.
"Just call me Jie Ligu."
"Jie Ligu...it turns out you are Jie Ligu."
Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi mentioned the name Jie Ligu after using his mental observation skills to enter Nora's sea of consciousness.
At that time, Zhao Xun didn't know who Jie Ligu was, and he didn't expect to meet him here today.
"Isn't Nora familiar with you?"
"Actually, I'm not very familiar with them. They're just doing things for the Demon Sect and the high priest."
Jie Ligu sneered coldly: "I didn't expect you still came here. It seems that you want to kill us all."
Zhao Xun thought to himself that the man in front of him was really good at changing concepts secretly.
"Brother, this is your problem. It's obvious that people from your Demon Sect want to sneak into Chang'an City to do bad things, but why do you make us look like evil people? Isn't this bad?"
"Stop talking nonsense. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Let's compete here today and have a good time."
