At this time, the more than ten internal guards brought by Kong Yuhui had beaten down all the guards in Yu Mansion, but luckily no one was killed.
He raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, but few of the guards could stand up.
"Since I am Lin Xiandi's teammate, I was the one who was rude this time. I'm so sorry."
His expression remained unchanged, still calm. He just turned sideways and whispered a few words to one of the guards. After hearing this, the latter turned around and gave some pieces of silver to the beaten guards one by one as compensation.
.
Yu Chang had a smile on his face and felt relieved in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xin felt a little bad at this moment, and led Shu Luoyi into the room.
The room has a red bead curtain as the door, and a red carpet painted with gold peonies is spread inside. The tables, chairs, and furniture are all made of dark brown polished unicorn wood.
There was just a middle-aged woman lying on the ground with her eyes closed and a large black mole on her forehead.
Lin Xin recognized it at a glance. This was the mission target he was looking for on this trip. He didn't remember the specific name for a moment, but looked at the woman carefully.
At this time, the target had fallen into a coma, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his face was pale.
"The pupils have dilated, but they are not dead yet. I don't know what happened." Shu Luoyi frowned.
The way Lin Xin looked at this person suddenly reminded him of the old lady with fried pancakes he had seen earlier. The two situations were very similar.
He couldn't help being startled, and turned to look at Kong Yuhui.
Sure enough, Kong Yuhui looked solemn at this time, frowned, and shook his head slightly at him.
"Brother, this matter is difficult to handle..."
"How do you say it?" Lin Xin didn't say anything, but Shu Luoyi asked first.
Kong Yuhui shook his head and just looked at Lin Xin.
"Brother Xian, it seems that you can't avoid it. It's not convenient for me to participate in this matter. However, the fifteen foreign masters under me here can all be at your disposal."
He paused.
"This is a matter of stance. I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Lin Xin didn't force him to reveal the inside story, "You have your difficulties."
"I suggest that you take this person directly back to the sect and hand it over to the people above." Kong Yuhui said softly, "Of course, this is just a suggestion."
"You are so clueless, how could you just go back like this?" Shu Luoyi said coldly, "If you don't want to cause more trouble, why don't you leave?"
Kong Yuhui was stunned, looked at Shu Luoyi, then frowned, cupped his hands towards Lin Xinyi, and turned to leave.
Lin Xin was also confused, but since Kong Yuhui had left people to help him, it was obvious that he had unspeakable difficulties, so he didn't force it.
After Kong Yuhui left, the leader of the fifteen horizontal training masters stepped forward and cupped his fists at Lin Xin.
"Wang Meng is waiting for the master's orders!"
"You guys go out first. We'll check the situation." Lin Xin nodded.
"yes."
After everyone had gone out, Lin Xin turned to look at Shu Luoyi and Yu Chang.
"what happened?"
Yu Chang hurriedly explained the cause and effect. Only now did he know clearly that one of the two was a friend of Kong Yuhui, and the other had a profound background. Neither of them could be offended by him, so he simply kept his attitude very low.
It turned out that as soon as the two separated from Lin Xin, they started to send people to search for the area mentioned in the mission, but found that the man had disappeared long ago. In the following days, the two relied on people from Yu Mansion to search everywhere, but no one was found.
We could find traces of this person. We didn't find this person's whereabouts until yesterday. But as soon as we found her, we saw her lying on the ground unconscious.
"I guess that Duan Qi was probably being hunted, so he had to move quickly, otherwise he would not have left without waiting for people from the sect to come to rescue him." Shu Luoyi said seriously.
"It's possible." Lin Xin nodded, "I asked my friend, but he was unwilling to talk about anything about the epidemic in the city. I guess it is possible that Duan Qi is related to the epidemic in the city."
"Epidemic?" Yu Chang's expression changed, "Are you saying that this kind of epidemic that occurs every year has some shady inside story?"
Lin Xin didn't say much, but took out a resentment charm from his pocket.
"I was carrying this with me earlier and saw a man who died of an epidemic and a very strange bee came out of his ear."
"Bee?" Shu Luoyi was suddenly startled, and then his face became a little weird.
"It's a bee with six wings and two legs."
When Shu Luoyi heard this, his expression became even weirder.
She looked around, as if to make sure no one was eavesdropping.
"If I'm not wrong..."
She quickly took out a high-level resentment talisman from her arms. This kind of talisman can only be accessed during the Qi refining stage, and generally cannot be obtained by those without background.
After injecting the inner energy, the high-level resentment talisman suddenly burned slowly.
Under the puzzled looks of the two people, she slapped the talisman on the ground and put it on Duan Qi's forehead.
"Hold on."
Lin Xin vaguely guessed what would happen.
Sure enough, in less than half a minute, a six-winged bee covered in blood slowly crawled out of Duan Qi's ear hole.
Lin Xinxin shook his head and was about to draw his sword, but was blocked by Shu Luoyi.
"Don't do it!"
Yu Chang also quickly stopped drawing his sword.
Shu Luoyi found a piece of calligraphy practice paper from the desk in the room, and stuck an ordinary resentment charm on the back, flicking it to make it burn.
Then, she covered the bees that had just crawled out from the ground and wrapped them in a paper bag rolled up with paper.
"As long as you keep sealing it with resentment symbols, it can last for a day and a night. Let's first ask about Duan Qi's situation."
Lin Xin took out a Ganlin Talisman, injected it with inner energy, and patted it on Duan Qi's body.
This talisman paper was really easy to use. When the Rain Talisman was half burned, Duan Qi slowly woke up. But her expression was dull, as if she had been bitten by bees and was a little stupid.
"Huang Ji...Huang Ji...clothes...shop..." Duan Qi kept mumbling and repeating one word.
"What? What did you say?" Shu Luoyi leaned over and listened carefully.
"Huang Ji Clothing Store? That's what he seems to be talking about." Yu Chang repeated.
"Do you know this place?" Lin Xin looked at him.
"If we heard correctly, Huangji Clothing Store should be the largest clothing store at the entrance to the north of the city. It seems that no other clothing store in Peacock City dares to use this name." Yu Chang explained.
"Ask her again and see what else she will say?" Lin Xin looked at Shu Luoyi.
The latter nodded and continued to approach Duan Qi, ready to ask questions. However, he found that Duan Qi's eyes were wide open, his mouth was open and he was motionless, and he had died.
"This..." Yu Chang was a little dumbfounded.
Shu Luoyi didn't say anything, but went to search Duan Qi's body, and found a strange bloody copper coin on Duan Qi's body.
This copper coin is different from ordinary copper coins. Not only is its color blood red, but the pattern on it is not engraved with the year of the Song Dynasty, but with four Chinese characters.
"Four people's money." Shu Luoyi picked it up and looked at it.
"What is this?" Lin Xin asked in confusion.
"What's the homophone?" Shu Luoyi said casually without raising his head.
"Dead man's money?" Lin Xin suddenly understood.
"Let's go and have a look at Huang Ji Clothing Store. The clue here is broken." Shu Luoyi said calmly.
"Shouldn't we go back to the sect directly to report?" Yu Chang felt a little confused.
"If you're afraid, just get out." Shu Luoyi said impatiently. "How can you achieve such a big deal if you are so timid?"
"I...."
"What are you looking for?" Lin Xin looked directly at Shu Luoyi.
Unexpectedly, Shu Luoyi showed a mysterious smile.
"If you are brave enough... I have a great opportunity for you. I'm afraid you won't dare to take action."
Lin Xin's heart moved.
"What chance?"
Yu Chang also showed interest on his face and listened attentively.
"It can allow us to directly enter the innate good things. No... It's not just that... In such a big scene, maybe the effect will be even stronger!"
A strange color flashed in Shu Luoyi's eyes.
******************
In the north of the city, Huangji Clothing Store.
A dilapidated gray and white double-story building stood quietly in front of Lin Xin and the others.
The plaque hanging above the door is tilted to one side, and the four characters "Huangji Clothing" can still be vaguely seen.
The sky was dark, and the clothing store was alone and surrounded by closed doors. White silk hangings could be seen everywhere, and white paper money was everywhere on the ground.
With the sound of wind, the paper money suddenly tumbled and flew.
The sides of the clothing store were filled with piles of construction waste at some point. Broken log pillars were mixed with mud, sand, bricks and soil, and dirty tattered fabrics could still be seen faintly inside.
"This is Huang Ji Clothing Store?" Shu Luoyi asked doubtfully. "Yu Chang, are you taking the wrong route?" She held the paper bag tightly in her hand and pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand.
"Absolutely not!" Yu Chang affirmed categorically, "I often came here to make clothes when I was a kid, and I definitely didn't go the wrong way. It was fine just a few years ago."
"Perhaps he contracted the epidemic." Shu Luoyi guessed after seeing the white silk hanging beside the clothing store.
At this time, an old beggar in tattered clothes across from the clothing store came over with a smile.
"Hey, you three... come on...if you want to know about this store, I can tell you about it."
"You're quite clever." Shu Luoyi covered her nose with disgust and threw some small coins to him.
Lin Xin and Yu Chang each gave some large copper coins and threw them into the broken bowl he was holding.
"Hey, thank you, thank you." The old beggar shook the broken bowl and suddenly smiled.
"Tell me. What's going on in this clothing store?" Yu Chang couldn't stand the smell coming from this guy, so he asked quickly.
"Speaking of Huangji Clothing Store, we have to start with a strange incident that happened a few years ago." The old beggar looked around mysteriously and lowered his voice.
"What's weird?" Shu Luoyi frowned.
"That's it, someone said that the clothes in this clothing store are like people and can move..." the old beggar said in a hoarse and numbing voice.
"Every time in the middle of the night, a set of clothes in the clothing store will move around on its own, as if...as if there is some invisible person wearing them and moving freely..."
