"Senior Brother Cui, Junior Sister Su, please come with me."
After leaving the post house, Qin Shaoyou called Cui Youying, Su Tingyu and Su Jianqing to accompany him.
The disappearance of the practice guide is probably the result of some kind of magic, and the Taoist priests of Yuhuang Temple are just the professional counterparts.
Li Qin couldn't help but glance over Su Tingyu and Su Jianqing's bodies.
As someone who has been there, she could tell at a glance that the relationship between the two female champions and her younger brother was unusual. If she were not anxious about the cultivation plan, she would have asked Qin Shaoyou to find out.
In the old Qin family, there is only one male in their generation, Qin Shaoyou, and everyone is looking forward to him getting married and having children soon.
Qin Shaoyou didn't know that he was almost forced to get married again.
It seems that even a demigod cannot avoid this urge to marry.
Soon, Qin Shaoyou and others followed Li Qin to a courtyard of the west post house.
This courtyard was taken over by the fourth sister and the others. The houses on the left were warehouses, and the boxes containing the training program were placed here. The bodyguards also lived in the warehouse, guarding the training program at every step.
In the house on the right, the fourth sister and her caravan crew lived.
Seeing Li Qin's return, people from the caravan immediately rushed forward, with nervous and panic expressions on everyone's faces.
If the practice guide is lost, not only the Li family will suffer disaster, but people like them will also suffer. If not, the whole family will be ruined.
Seeing their commotion, Li Qin raised her beautiful eyebrows and scolded: "What's the hurry? What's the chaos? I've invited the red-clothed envoy to come and help, and I'll be able to find the lost practice guide. Do what you are supposed to do, don't crowd in.
It’s noisy here!”
It was obvious that the fourth sister had a high prestige among this group of people. Her words immediately shut up many people's mouths, and also allowed many people who were panicked just a moment ago to regain their composure.
However, through [Bright Eyes], Qin Shaoyou keenly noticed that there was a person in the crowd who had a very subtle reaction.
This man was obviously startled when he heard that the red-clad messenger came to help. Although he tried hard to hide it, his brief expression of panic was captured by Qin Shaoyou.
However, Qin Shaoyou did not immediately pull out the man for questioning. He just released the shadow demon and let it sneak into the man's shadow silently and monitor his actions behind him.
Under the leadership of Li Qinshi, Qin Shaoyou and others came to the warehouse on the left side of the courtyard and saw the opened boxes.
Inside the heavy box were all stones, weeds, rags and other items.
If Li Qin didn't have someone open the box for inspection tonight, or in the next few days, when they arrived in the capital and handed over to the government, they would really have no excuses and would be punished by death.
"There is a scent of magic. The smell is very light. It should not have been released tonight, but it won't be too long. It was at most a few hours ago."
As soon as Su Tingyu entered the warehouse, she immediately twitched her nose and told her what she had discovered.
Cui Yougui took over the topic and analyzed: "After several hours, there is still magic aura left, which means that there should be a medium for releasing spells in these boxes."
Qin Shaoyou also smelled the scent of a ghost through [Miao Nose].
But he followed the martial arts route and was not as proficient in magic as Su Tingyu, Cui Youxu and others, so he couldn't give such an analysis.
This is why he brought Su Tingyu, Cui Youwei and other Taoist priests from Yuhuangguan to investigate.
A discovery was made just after arriving, which refreshed everyone's spirits.
They immediately started searching these boxes, trying to find the medium that released the spell, and see if they could analyze more clues.
Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer also joined in and searched carefully.
[Mingmu] came into play in this situation, and soon Qin Shaoyou found some ashes in the corner of a box.
Qin Shaoyou could tell at a glance that this was the ashes left after the talisman was burned.
At the same time, he used the [Miao Nose] to smell the residual spell scent on the ashes.
"Senior Brother Cui, Junior Sister Su, come and take a look."
Qin Shaoyou called Cui Youshen and Su Tingyu over and pointed to the ashes in the corner of the box.
Senior Brother Cui is worthy of being the first disciple of the Jade Emperor Temple. He dipped his finger into some ashes, twisted it, and gave his judgment:
"It's a five-ghost transporting technique. The person who casts this spell is not good at learning and cannot control the five ghosts directly. He needs to place a talisman next to the target first to guide the five ghosts."
"So, there is a mole?"
The fourth sister raised her eyebrows and turned to look at the people outside the warehouse.
The only people who could get close to these boxes and put the talismans in them, except for the escorts from the escort agency, were the guys she brought.
Who could be the person eating the inside out?
While Li Qin was still thinking about it, Qin Shaoyou had already given the order: "Bring the people in."
The fourth sister was stunned and thought to herself: Who is the younger brother giving orders to and who should be brought in?
Before she could ask any questions, she saw a caravan man staggering towards the warehouse with a strange posture.
It looked as if someone was dragging this guy.
If you look closely, it's actually a shadow on the ground that's dragging this guy!
The guy was obviously frightened. He was struggling and screaming. When the escorts nearby saw this, they subconsciously wanted to step forward to help, but were stopped by an invisible force.
"What a strong spirit!"
The escorts were all knowledgeable people and were immediately shocked by the intensity of this blood energy.
Then they realized that the person who had let go of his blood and let the shadow drag the man was no one else, but the red-clothed messenger in the warehouse, who was too frightened to move any further.
The panicked man was quickly dragged into the warehouse by the shadow demon.
Qin Shaoyou stared at his eyes with [Bright Eyes], and at the same time encouraged [Qiu Tongue] and said: "Tell me, who asked you to put the talisman paper in the box?"
This guy originally wanted to deny it, but when he saw Qin Shaoyou's eyes and heard his voice, he didn't know what was going on, so he told the truth obediently:
"When the team passed through Yangping Mansion a few days ago, I met a wandering Taoist. He told me my fortune and told me that I couldn't marry a wife because of bad horoscopes. He gave me a piece of talisman paper and asked me to fold it into
If you place the small horn in a place filled with spiritual energy, and after seven days take it out and wear it on your body, you will be able to change your life and bring good luck. Not only will you be able to marry a wife, but you will also be able to prosper and shine.
I thought that to be full of spiritual energy, the training program we escorted definitely met the requirements, so just before setting off the next morning, I took advantage of opening the box to check it, and secretly hid the talisman paper folded into small corners in the box.
At the corner..."
After the guy finished telling what happened, he hurriedly defended himself:
"I really didn't know that the talisman paper would destroy the practice plan. If I knew, I would never want the talisman paper at all... Madam, I have worked in the Li family cloth shop for many years and have always been loyal.
Geng Geng, you have to believe me."
Qin Shaoyou waved his hand and motioned to Shadow Demon to drag this guy out, and then let the fourth sister deal with it after the cultivation guide was retrieved and the real culprit was found.
The escort who was guarding outside came up to see this guy very discerningly, and blocked his mouth with a smelly sock to prevent him from shouting for mercy.
At the same time, Zhu Xiucai, who went to inquire about the situation of several other caravans, turned back.
He reported to Qin Shaoyou and others: "The training guidelines of the other caravans are still there, and there are no problems."
Hearing this, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer looked at each other and had a guess in their hearts.
"Fourth Sister, it seems that the person who stole the Cultivation Guide came specifically for you. Did you offend someone?"
PS: 2022 has passed. I wish everyone all the best, good health and freedom from all poisons in 2023!
