Returning to the Yamen, Wu Xu sent everyone away, leaving only Xu Zhiqiong.
He turned the long lamp on the table and the wall behind him split in two, revealing a map.
This is a map of the capital city. There are many circles and marks on the map.
Wu Xu asked: "Do you know what these marks are for?"
Xu Zhiqiong had just taken the decoction and applied some ointment. He said with tears in his eyes: "Qianhu, don't count on me anymore. I'm no longer useful."
"Don't be ridiculous!" Wu Xu frowned and said, "Your yang energy is still intact, so you didn't do anything like that tonight."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "I was asleep at the time, who knows what she did."
Wu Xu was surprised: "You still want to sleep? Didn't you go to investigate?"
"I went to investigate while she was asleep and found out the news. I came back and took a nap for a while. Who knew she woke up first? It must have been me..."
Wu Xu smiled and said, "How can you still sleep if that is the case? That's the trick of businessmen in the world. They're just lying to you. Don't take it seriously."
Xu Zhiqiong was still uneasy. His condition at that time was worse than when he fell asleep.
Wu Xu pointed at the map and said: "There are six places here in total. Counting Dehua Class, there are seven. These places all hide abducted women."
Xu Zhiqiong did not expect that Wu Xu had done so many investigations before.
Only Wu Xu and Qu Jinshan knew about this matter. He was willing to tell Xu Zhiqiong because he regarded Xu Zhiqiong as his confidant.
Wu Xu pointed at the map and said: "There are twelve people in Wangyu Tower, fifteen people in Zuixin Pavilion, twenty-one people in Yu'an Pavilion, twelve people in Li San Tea House, nineteen people in Luozhu Pavilion, Ying
The number of people in the Opera and Dehua classes is unknown.”
Xu Zhiqiong said blankly: "There are more than twenty people in the Dehua class."
Wu Xu smiled: "Did you see someone? There is a Yin-Yang magic circle where these women are imprisoned. Even Qu Jinshan can't break it. How did you see it?"
Xu Zhiqiong's expression was calm, not because he was sad and said something rash, but because he really wanted to tell Wu Xu.
It’s not easy for Wu Xu.
"My subordinates saw that several shabby tile-roofed houses had buckets for delivering food. Judging by the size of the buckets, they estimated the number of people."
Wu Xu praised: "If there were more people like you in the yamen, I wouldn't have to work all day long. Do you know why these women are imprisoned in the land of fireworks?"
Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment: "There are many women in this kind of place, and people often sell abducted women here. Women who break the rules will be locked up and beaten and punished. In the land of fireworks, these are common things, even if
Even if someone discovers you occasionally, you can cover it up."
Wu Xu sighed and said: "I really don't know how to praise you. Do you know who is the mastermind behind this?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "My subordinates don't know the real envoy, but it must be related to Crown Prince Huai, and Qianhu has been dealing with him."
"Do you know why Liang Yuming kidnapped these women?"
"To raise Gu." Xu Zhiqiong answered simply and clearly.
"How did you know it was to raise Gu?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "When I was studying in the academy, I also read some idle books and knew that the art of poison could not be achieved in a day. Fan Baocai knew the art of poison and his cultivation level was not low. Zhou Kairong did not understand the art of poison. This proves that Fan Baocai's
The voodoo technique definitely did not come from Zhou Kairong,
That night Fan Baocai suddenly went crazy. Apart from the three of us, there were also Zhou Kairong and the group of Confucianists. Confucianists cannot practice Gu, and the only one who could make Fan Baocai go crazy was Liang Yuming."
Wu Xu smiled: "You also know that Confucians cannot practice Gu?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "I learned them all from the academy."
Wu Xu said: "There are more and more books in Wuche Academy."
Xu Zhiqiong was silent.
Wu Xu deliberately tested: "But Liang Yuming is only at the ninth level, and Fan Baocai is only at the seventh level. How can Liang Yuming make Fan Baocai go crazy?"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head: "Liang Yuming has a ninth level of domineering cultivation. As for how many levels of Gu skills there are, it is hard to say."
"What can I say?" Wu Xu rubbed his eyebrows and shook his head repeatedly, "You discovered all the clues that I worked so hard to find within a few days."
Xu Zhiqiong said with a naive smile: "It all depends on Qianhu's guidance."
Wu Xu sat upright and asked again: "Do you know why I didn't rescue those women?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Thousands of households have to move a mountain, so we can't expect to move the mountain all at once."
Wu Xu nodded: "That's right. Not only can't you move it all at once, but you can't act rashly, and your whole body will be affected by one move."
Wu Xu looked at the map: "In these seven places, whenever I rescue a woman, Liang Yuming will definitely transfer the other girls away. Those who cannot be transferred will be killed. All the previous efforts will be in vain."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Why not divide the troops into seven groups to rescue people?"
Wu Xu shook his head and sighed: "I don't have that many available people, let alone that many trustworthy people. Do you know why I read the Almanac these days?"
Xu Zhiqiong could guess it, but this time he decided to play dumb: "I don't know."
"There are things you don't know," Wu Xu said with a smile, "Raising voodoo depends on the time. Liang Yuming spent so much thought on it, and what he raised is definitely not an ordinary voodoo. There are only four times a year that are suitable for cultivating powerful voodoos.
One is February, the second is April, the third is June, and the fourth is September. If the information you received from the beggar is true, this date should be between April 14th and April 24th."
An interval of eleven days is not a small range.
Wu Xu patted the "Almanac" and said, "It's a pity that I can't figure this thing out. If I can figure it out, I can calculate the accurate time."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "If we calculate the accurate time, we can catch Liang Yuming and his gang and rescue those women."
Wu Xu shook his head and said: "It's not just Liang Yuming's gang members. If I deal with Liang Yuming alone, I don't have to spend so much effort. There is a group of ruthless people behind Liang Yuming."
More ruthless than Liang Yuming?
Xu Zhiqiong temporarily ignored the root problem and couldn't help but shudder.
Wu Xu continued: "Besides, it's not enough to calculate the time. We also have to calculate the location. This kind of thing is not suitable for us to kill Taoists. Can you do it?"
Xu Zhiqiong blinked his eyes and said: "I am also a killer, and I am only a ninth-level person. If I can't do it with thousands of households, I definitely can't do it."
"If even you can't do it, you can only go to that helper. Unfortunately, he may not be willing to take action."
Xu Zhiqiong rubbed his nose: "Which helper?"
Wu Xu said: "Go back and sleep, change into good clothes, and wait for me in front of the Yin and Yang Division tomorrow at Hai hour."
"Onmyoji?"
Xu Zhiqiong knew two Yin-Yang cultivators, but he didn't know anything about the Yin-Yang Department. He didn't even know where the Yin-Yang Department was.
Wu Xu sighed: "I originally wanted to take Qu Jinshan with me. He had been a doctor of Yin and Yang in the Yin and Yang Division for several years, but I didn't expect that Qu Jinshan hated the Yin and Yang Division so much. After many years, he still can't let go. That's all. And
Let’s see our luck tomorrow.”
…
At Xu time the next day, Xu Zhiqiong followed the place mentioned by Wu Xu and went all the way to find the Yin and Yang Division.
The Yin and Yang Division is in the west of the city. There are many markets in the west of the city, the roads are wide, and the buildings are neat. Logically speaking, this place should not be difficult to find.
But Xu Zhiqiong searched for more than an hour and still couldn't find the Onmyoji.
The place was hard to find, but luckily the people were easy to find. Xu Zhiqiong walked around the street a few times and saw Wu Xu.
"Xu Denglang, you are so arrogant, but you asked me to wait for you."
Xu Zhiqiong said naively: "I really can't find where the Yin and Yang Division is."
Wu Xu pointed to a courtyard in front of him: "Isn't this the one?"
Xu Zhiqiong looked at the courtyard and saw a two-story attic in the middle with two rows of wing rooms next to it.
That's it?
This is Onmyoji?
Is this the official office of the Daxuan Yin Yang family?
This is not much bigger than the yard of a small family.
Wu Xu was cautious about this place: "After entering, be sure to follow me closely. If I take a step, you follow. If you take a wrong step, you may not be able to get out."
Is this small courtyard so dangerous?
Xu Zhiqiong followed Wu Xu into the courtyard, and there was a man standing at the door.
This man was about seven feet two inches tall (a little over one meter six), and he was wearing a hat that must have been over a foot high. If you put it all together, he could be considered an eight-foot man.
The man glanced at Wu Xu and said expressionlessly: "Wu Qianhu is always rare."
This man is so arrogant. He doesn't even say anything polite when meeting Qianhu, but his words are still so stiff.
Wu Xu said: "I'm here to visit my friends."
The man only made a gesture of invitation and didn't even say a word.
No wonder Tong Qingqiu and Qu Jinshan don't like this place. The people in the Yin and Yang Division are really arrogant.
Wu Xu took Xu Zhiqiong into the attic. The building was pitch dark. The judge's vision was unusual, but Xu Zhiqiong couldn't even see the tips of his own toes.
Xu Zhiqiong wanted to use the Eyes of Sin Karma to take a look at the situation in the room, but suddenly he heard Wu Xu say: "Don't look around, just follow me."
Based on his feeling, Xu Zhiqiong followed Wu Xu step by step from the door to the stairs. Xu Zhiqiong made a rough calculation and walked more than 300 steps.
This unscientific.
From the outside, the attic doesn't look that big.
Among them is the magic circle. Whether the magic circle makes the internal space larger or makes the attic smaller from the appearance is unknown for the time being.
Next, Xu Zhiqiong followed Wu Xu upstairs.
This attic only has two floors, but Xu Zhiqiong followed Wu Xu up to the entire seven floors, but they haven't reached the top yet.
On the seventh floor, Wu Xu turned left, entered the corridor, opened the door, and saw a green lamp in the room, under which sat an old man with white beard and hair.
This old man looks a bit like the dean.
Wu Xu stepped forward, came to the old man, cupped his fists and saluted, "Wu Xu has seen Taifu."
Taibu!
This person is Taibu!
The pinnacle of the Yin-Yang family in the Daxuan Empire, a third-grade cultivator of Yin-Yang, the man who recently became a god, Yin-Yang Sitaibu!
Xu Zhiqiong quickly followed suit and saluted.
Taibu raised his head, looked at Wu Xu and said, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Qianhu, please take a seat."
Suddenly two futons appeared on the ground, and Wu Xu and Xu Zhiqiong sat down one after another.
"Qianhu came here late at night, what's the point of your visit?"
Wu Xu said: "It's still what happened before. I beg Taifu to save thousands of people from the fire and water."
Thousands of people?
Aren’t there more than a hundred women?
Xu Zhiqiong did not dare to interrupt, but only dared to listen quietly.
Taibu pondered for a long time, then sighed and said: "This kind of disaster for the common people is determined by heaven. How can an old man dare to go against the destiny?"
Wu Xu said: "God has the virtue of favoring life, but today there are evil people who lead evil spirits to cause chaos, causing all lives to be ruined. Taibu saves the people. It is an act in compliance with God's will. How can it be said that it is against heaven?"
Taibu smiled and said: "Qianhu wants to argue with me about the number of days?"
Wu Xu shook his head: "Wu has no intention of arguing, he just asks Taifu for help."
The Taibu let out a long sigh: "Thousands of extraordinary families have begged each other several times, but the old man has repeatedly refused. It turns out that the old man doesn't know what to do. Now I have a ninth-grade disciple who is only seventeen years old and is good at calculations.
My talent is extraordinary, and I am now willing to discuss Sanhe with Qianhu, I wonder if Qianhu will agree?"
Wu Xu smiled bitterly: "If we were to compete in calculations, it would be difficult for me and other warriors."
Taibu said: "If you don't want to discuss it, Qianhu please do so."
If I had known this was the trick, even if I were kidnapped, I would have to kidnap Qu Jinshan!
But if Qu Jinshan comes, it probably won’t be this routine.
Wu Xu nodded helplessly: "That's fine, I'll ask my disciples for advice."
Taibu waved his hand, and a young woman walked slowly from the darkness.
Xu Zhiqiong wondered, how big is this room?
Under the green light, Xu Zhiqiong looked at the woman's appearance. The woman was as handsome as Yan Fengru, the musician of Wuyin Pavilion.
She was wearing a white shirt, and like the man at the door, she wore a hat over a foot high, which made her look a little funny.
The woman first saluted Taibu: "Disciple Xian Yue, I have met the master."
It turns out her name is Xianyue.
After bowing, Xian Yue thought Wu Xu and Xu Zhiqiong were transparent and sat beside Taibu without saying a word.
Isn't she here to learn from each other?
What does it mean not to speak?
Wu Xu was polite, cupped his fists and said, "Please give me some advice, girl."
Xian Yue still didn't speak, so Tai Bu spoke up: "Xian Yue, please ask three questions and count them. If Wu Qianhu can answer them, he will win."
Wu Xu pinched his chin and looked troubled: "Some of the three questions are too difficult."
Xianyue looked at the divination and finally spoke: "Master, counting is the ultimate principle in the world. If I tell it to stupid and vulgar people, wouldn't it taint my cultivation?"
Her voice is very nice.
She talks so badly!
Wu Xu laughed dryly: "This girl is so straightforward."
Taibu said lightly: "Don't be rude to Qianhu."
Xianyue turned her eyes and looked at Wu Xu: "Wu Qianhu, you are considered a person of some status, why do you need to humiliate yourself?"
Wu Xu smiled and said nothing, and Xu Zhiqiong said from the side: "Let, let, let you come up with the question, you will come up with the question, why are you talking so much?"
Xian Yue stared at Xu Zhiqiong for a moment, then turned to Taibu and said: "Can such a stupid and unrepentant person enter the Yin and Yang Division? Master, please expel this fool from the door."
I'll trap you...
Xu Zhiqiong swallowed down his anger and said nothing.
Taibu sighed: "Crescent Moon, just come up with the questions."
"Master, why do you need to embarrass them?"
"Just to make them quit before the difficulties!"
Xian Yue turned around, looked at Wu Xu and said: "Since the master has given orders, all disciples must obey them. I will ask you three questions today. If you answer them all, I will be bullying you. As long as you can answer one question,
Even if you win."
After saying that, Xian Yue waved her hand, and a pool suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
Xu Zhiqiong was startled, what kind of technology is this, holographic imaging?
This is a type of illusion and onmyoji.
Crescent Moon waved her hand, and a row of bamboo dragons appeared at the edge of the pool, filling the pool with water: "The bamboo dragon pours water into the empty pool, and it will be filled in five hours."
Xianyue waved her hand again, and the pool began to leak: "There is a gap at the bottom of the pool. If the pool is full of water, it will drain out in seven hours."
Xian Yue looked at Wu Xu and said, "The bamboo dragon is filling this leaky pool with water, but how long will it take to fill it up?"
Wu Xu had heard of this question, but he didn't know how to calculate it.
"This question seems a bit difficult."
"It is indeed a embarrassment for thousands of families," Xian Yue smiled, "but this is the basis of calculation. For my Yin Yang students, no one who is over the age of thirteen can not calculate this kind of problem, and I really can't think of anything easier.
That’s it.”
Wu Xu pinched his cheek and said, "Let me think for a moment."
Xianyue waved her hand again, and an additional incense burner appeared in front of her: "Is one stick of incense enough?"
After saying that, Xian Yue made a ball of fire with her fingers and was about to light incense, but Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "There is no need to light incense."
Xian Yue sneered and said: "Idiots talk a lot. Even if you want to admit defeat, you will have to open your mouth."
Xu Zhiqiong raised his head and said: "It takes seventeen and a half hours. For this question, what kind of incense should I light?"
Xianyue was startled, and the fire in her hand went out.
Taibu looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Have you ever done this question?"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head.
Taibu asked again: "Have you ever learned arithmetic?"
Xu Zhiqiong smiled innocently: "It's not like I have learned it. When I was a child, there was an old woman selling vegetables in front of my door. She could calculate the vegetable money accurately. I learned the algorithm from her for a few days. She bought vegetables, sold vegetables, and came in and out. It was similar to this.
It's just that I stopped doing this kind of questions after I was six years old, it's really boring."
Xianyue's face turned pale, and Wu Xu laughed heartily: "Did you get the answer right? Taibu, you lose!"
Xianyue shook her head repeatedly and said: "Master, this person has done this question before, so it cannot be counted!"
Taibu nodded and said: "I said there were three questions, but you only answered one question. How can you say I lost?"
Wu Xu said angrily: "You are going back on your word!"
The murderous aura was steaming, and the crescent moon shivered.
Taibu looked as usual and was not afraid of Wu Xu.
Xu Zhiqiong laughed naively and said: "Qianhu, calm down, look at this girl, she is arrogant and arrogant, her talent is mediocre, it is not easy to study mathematics hard, let's let her do it once, and then let her ask the second question
