She saw Qin Shaoyou take out a tablet of the City God from his arms, place it on the ground, and offer three sticks of incense.
In this process, Qin Shaoyou used [Communication with Ghosts and Gods] and borrowed the magical power of the City God from Cai Guizhong.
As the City God's magical power was activated, everyone felt as if there was a dark wind whistling around them.
Immediately afterwards, a piece of powder was seen flying from the mountains, forests, and lakes, gathering in front of everyone, and turning into a dust mist.
The ashes attracted by the city god's magical power were not just one person's. The ashes of the victims who had been killed, burned, and scattered nearby were all attracted here.
Although the souls of the victims have dissipated, their resentment has not completely subsided.
Qin Shaoyou also saw the blood on the book, and just thought of this, and planned to use the grievances left in the ashes of the victim to find out some clues about the murderer.
When the dust mist formed by the ashes was completely formed, everyone suddenly felt a wave of resentment coming, which made their hair stand on end and their whole bodies felt cold. They had to activate their blood energy and form secret seals to resist.
Although Cui Youyou didn't form a seal, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"What a strong resentment! Didn't the murderer and his men find out?"
"I'm afraid it's not that I didn't find it, but that I did it deliberately."
Zhu Xiucai squinted his eyes and told his guess.
"The souls of the victims have been destroyed by them. Even if there is resentment hidden in the ashes, it will not affect them. They even hope that these resentments can give birth to one or two monsters so that when they commit crimes again, they can
Find the person who took the blame directly."
Not to mention, the guess given by Zhu Xiucai is not impossible.
The series of things the murderer did were really intertwined, one after another.
While everyone was talking in low voices, Qin Shaoyou borrowed the city god's magical power and tried hard to communicate with the grievances in the ashes of these victims.
"Where is your murderer?"
Qin Shaoyou tried to make the questions he asked simple and direct, so as not to be resentful and unable to understand.
After all, this is resentment, not soul.
After death, the soul is full of confusion, let alone resentment.
Even if Qin Shaoyou borrowed the magical power of the City God and asked a slightly more complicated question, it would be difficult to get an answer.
Fortunately, this time, the victim's resentment understood Qin Shaoyou's inquiry.
The bone dust mist swirled and changed, and finally turned into two words: Fucheng.
Qin Shaoyou raised his eyebrows and asked, "But Shi Nan Fucheng?"
The bone dust mist changed again: "Yes."
Qin Shaoyou turned his head and glanced at his sixth sister: "Sister, it seems that as you expected, the perpetrator has an unusual identity. Either he is a wealthy family in the city, or he is an official of the imperial court."
Then he turned around and continued to use the City God's magical power to ask the victim about his grievances: "Who is the murderer?"
This time, the bone dust fog remained unchanged.
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly and asked another question: "What is the identity of the murderer?"
The bone dust fog still hasn't changed.
Even when Qin Shaoyou tried to ask about the murderer's accomplices, the bone dust and fog remained unchanged.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Xiucai asked with some worry: "Sir, what is going on? Could it be that the murderer knew that we were interrogating and interfered with our approach?"
Qin Shaoyou thought for a while and slowly shook his head: "The murderer is interfering, but it is not the interference he is doing now, otherwise I will not feel nothing."
With Qin Shaoyou's current strength, if the murderer casts a spell to interfere, he would immediately notice it, and he could even follow the spell's fluctuations to track the murderer's location.
No matter how bad it is, his appetite should respond.
But at this moment, he felt nothing and had no reaction.
Therefore, there is no answer to the resentment. There is only one possibility: when the murderer killed, he not only destroyed the souls of the victims, but also wiped out their memories.
The victims' resentment is that they only remember where they were killed, but they cannot remember who killed them.
This also makes the victim's resentment unable to retaliate against the enemy.
Perhaps this is the reason why the murderer erased his memory: he wanted to leave resentment and encourage evil spirits, but he did not want the evil spirits to find him and avenge the victim.
Qin Shaoyou asked a few more questions, but was too angry to give any answers. He could only ask Gunshan Lord to dig a hole by the lake and use the city god's magical power to bury the ashes in it.
He planned to rescue Xue Xiaobao, Xu Ba'an and others, punish the murderer, and then come back to comfort the victims and eliminate the grievances left by them.
"Let's go to Shi Nan Mansion."
Qin Shaoyou called on everyone to mount their horses.
He then took out Fu Dou's skin and summoned Fu Dou, wrapping him in his arms with blood to prevent the flames from Fu Dou's body from burning the war horse.
The reason for this is that after borrowing the magical power of the City God, the coldness on the body became more severe, and the fire energy was needed to resolve it.
The flames of misfortune can just neutralize the Yin Qi.
But Hu Dou must be wrapped with blood, otherwise not only the clothes will be burned, but people will also be easily burned.
Using the city god's magical power to interrogate grievances did not achieve the effect Qin Shaoyou expected, but it was not useless.
At least let them know that the murderer is hiding in Shi Nan's mansion.
This greatly reduced the scope of the investigation.
At the same time, the targets of the investigation can also be focused on the big households and officials in Shi Nanfu City, which greatly saves time.
In addition, they can plan in advance and secretly send people to surround Shi Nanfu City to prevent the murderer from escaping.
Shi Nan Mansion is only twenty or thirty miles away from Jinyan Lake. The group of people worked hard and quickly arrived at the city.
It was still early before dawn at this time, and the moon in the night sky became increasingly round and blood-red.
Although Qin Shaoyou and others arrived at the city gate, they did not show their identities to open the city gate, fearing that doing so would alarm others.
They want to sneak into the city secretly.
However, there are mechanical arrays on the city walls, so it is not easy to sneak into the city without being alerted.
As for the earth escape technique, there is no way to use it.
The traps and magic circles underground are no less than those on the city wall.
Qin Shaoyou turned to look at Cui Yougui, Tuhuang and other Taoist priests, and asked: "Senior brothers, you are proficient in magic formations, do you have any good ideas?"
Taoist Tuhuang stared at the city wall and said slowly: "The magic circle here is not difficult to break, but it will take time, and if you don't do it right, it will cause a big noise."
Qin Shaoyou frowned, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a yin energy coming over him.
He immediately turned around, facing the direction where the Yin Qi appeared, and asked in a low voice: "Who is it? Come out!"
That is to say, he did not detect hostility and ferocity in this Yin Qi, otherwise he would not have asked, but would have taken it directly.
In the dark night, under the bloody moonlight, several graceful figures emerged...
