Chapter 413 Linjiang Youth’s Luck, Trapped in a Puzzle
The north is called You, and the south is called Ming.
Everything is dark and dark, and the Yin Qi gathers there, so it is called Youdu.
Youdu Prefecture is one of the twelve capital prefectures divided by the Great Shang Dynasty. It governs six counties and governs hundreds of millions of people.
When Tie Tang set foot in the Youdu Mansion area through the teleportation array, he deeply felt an extremely yin energy lingering around him.
He doesn't know much about Youdu Prefecture, except that he knows that Youdu Prefecture ranks third among the Twelve Capital Prefectures.
The only relevant thing...
Probably he had a friend, Su Zian, who was also from Youdu Prefecture and was later demoted to You County.
Although Youxian and Youdu Prefecture both have the word "you", they are completely different.
As the third-ranked capital, Youdu surpasses Qingshui County by a large margin in terms of economy, strength, culture, and the cultivation and quality of its residents.
However, the place where Tie Tang arrived today was the most barren city in Youdu Prefecture.
Linjiang County, Qingyuncheng.
Among the six major counties under the jurisdiction of Youdu Mansion, Linjiang County ranks at the bottom. Among the seventy-two counties in the world, it can only squeeze into the tail of the Di County, ranking forty-seventh. p>
And Qingyun City.
It is not the county town of Linjiang County, but one of the many cities under the jurisdiction of Linjiang County. It is located on the northwest edge, backed by long stretches of yellow sand, and is extremely desolate.
There are rumors that the lower part of Youdu Mansion is the center of the entire underworld, and some people say that Youdu Mansion is above the eighteen levels of hell.
Therefore, the entire Youdu Mansion area is filled with continuous Yin Qi, and it is the largest gathering place of Yin Qi in the entire human world.
Even though Qingyun City is far away from the center of Youdu Prefecture, it is still shrouded in gloomy air. Everything you see is black and gray haze, and you can vaguely see the shadows, ghosts and gods moving around.
Stepping out of the teleportation formation, Tie Tang casually gave a few taels of silver to the official in charge of the formation, saving him the trouble of asking and nagging.
He raised his head and looked at the terrain of Tianshi, and secretly sensed the number of masters in the city, and nodded subconsciously.
"Sure enough, the Fang family's hands and eyes are very good, and they can even find them in such a remote place. Compared with...the so-called four major aristocratic families of the Si family, they are not as good as the Fang family."
Tie Tang traveled alone this time, without anyone accompanying him.
He came here this time to find the person in the portrait left by Thirteenth Prince of the South China Sea.
A few months ago.
Tie Tang once spent ten thousand yuan to ask Fang Lexian to search the world for the woman whose face could not be seen clearly in the portrait.
During this period, there was no result. After all, the era of Nanhai Thirteenth Lang was too long ago, tens of thousands of years ago.
It’s not that simple to find an ‘ancient person’ who lived tens of thousands of years ago.
I thought it would take ten or a hundred years before there would be any clues about this matter.
But I don’t want to.
The power of the Fang family is so great that they have eyes and ears all over the counties and cities, and their connections are all over the world.
In just a few months, a clue was found.
The portrait left behind by the Thirteenth Prince of the South China Sea does not provide much information. Among them, the most critical appearance of the woman has been weathered and damaged over time.
All that's left is a pair of busts with catkins playing the guqin.
This bust alone is not without any clues. The clothes worn by the people in the painting are very different from those in the Shang Dynasty, which gives a rough judgment of the era.
In addition, the guqin, the qin's recommendation, and even the woman's playing method, as well as the surrounding scenery and landforms, can reveal many clues.
This time.
Tie Tang got the news from Fang Lexian, saying that someone in Qingyun City had seen a similar guqin.
However, the man, the lion, asked for a deposit of 10,000 yuan, and if he followed the clues and found the real owner, he would also pay 40,000 yuan.
Ten thousand yuan is not a small sum, and the Fang family's ears and eyes were just looking for information and did not dare to make the decision easily, so they passed the information back to Fang Lexian and let him make the decision.
Faced with such baseless news, Fang Lexian just regarded it as a joke and asked his subordinates to inquire again and again.
Unexpectedly, the man spoke in a convincing way, describing the guqin in a very vivid way. He also said that this was the first time he had seen this style of guqin in his life, and he would never forget it after just one glance.
So Fang Lexian didn't dare to neglect, and quickly found Tie Tang to see if he should pay a deposit of several thousand yuan in advance, or what the details were.
As soon as Tie Tang heard it, he knew it was not that simple.
He made a hexagram and got the hexagram image of Tai hexagram.
Tai, small to big, Jiheng!
Maybe the specific results are unknown, but the results of this trip can at least get some useful clues.
So Tie Tang immediately decided to go there in person and follow the clue of the guqin to find the person in the painting.
At least.
We also need to find that extremely powerful family that may exist.
Tie Tang has not forgotten the illusion he encountered in the tomb of Thirteenth Prince of Nanhai.
That woman's background, background, or her own strength and power are extremely powerful.
Being able to control the miscellaneous immortals in the immortal realm at will is definitely not an ordinary person.
Tens of thousands of years have passed now.
Maybe the woman is dead, maybe her power has weakened.
But——
It is also possible that with the accumulation of time, she has become stronger and more powerful than before.
Faced with this kind of role, no matter what the other person has become, Tie Tang must confirm it himself and cannot rely on others.
After Tianwen and Li Geng learned the news, they originally wanted to accompany him, but Tie Tang refused.
This trip may be risky. Although Tianwen and Li Geng are equally extraordinary, they are still not as free and easy as him.
Even if he encounters a dilemma, or even encounters a giant in the immortal realm, Tie Tang can escape with confidence.
Tie Tang left Fenglei Mansion and followed the route described by Fang Lexian, arriving at an antique mansion with high walls and deep courtyards.
There were four arrogant guards in front of the door, two of them had their hands folded across their chests, and they were chatting and spanking against the high vermilion wall.
They saw Tie Tang, who was dressed in green and plain clothes, stepping forward without even looking at him, only waiting for him to speak.
Tie Tang didn't care and raised his hand: "My surname is Tie. I have something important to ask to see the head of the Fang family."
The guard guarding the gate couldn't see through Tie Tang's cultivation strength, but he knew that not everyone could use this title indiscriminately.
The word Zun, in this world, one must have at least the strength of the Mystical Realm of Divine Witches, or even the Realm of Earthly Witches, before one dares to claim oneself.
Earth shamans are already qualified enough to establish a sect and are respected as witches and Taoists, so they can call themselves their own deities.
Tie Tang also saw that these four people had no personality and was afraid of causing some trouble, so he specifically pointed out his own strength.
But the four people opposite seemed to be used to being domineering and domineering, and they didn't take Tie Tang seriously at all.
One of them said: "You can see my master whenever you want? Seeing that you have some cultivation skills, please tell me what it is and I will decide whether to go in and report it."
During the conversation, the man intentionally or unintentionally spread his palms, as if searching for something in the void.
Tie Tang frowned slightly, never expecting to encounter such a troublemaker when things came to a close.
He has plenty of money, but whether to give it to him or not... is up to him.
"The Fang family I have seen, even in a small place like Longyuan City, has an excellent education. Why are the servants here so greedy?"
The Fang family's management model is extremely strange, and Tie Tang still hasn't fully understood it to this day.
However, one thing is certain, that is, there is not much contact between the local families on the surface, but in fact they are all following the orders of the master, and the secret connections are extremely close.
Because of the reputation of the Fang family, Fang Lexian, and Fang Pengyi, Tie Tang came to knock on the door as a courtesy.
Otherwise, with his cultivation strength, it would be just a piece of cake to sneak into the mansion at will.
After pondering for a while, Tie Tang still popped out four pieces of gold, five taels each, which was definitely not low.
The four people collected the gold, and their faces looked better now. One person turned around and prepared to go inside to report, but the other person brought up the old matter again.
"What's the matter with you? My head is really busy recently. If there's nothing urgent, please call the housekeeper to come out and discuss it with you."
"You just go and pass the news." What Tie Tang wants to do is why he won't talk to them?
But who would have thought that such a simple and plain sentence would make four people unhappy.
"Hey~"
"It's really a rare thing. Who are you looking down on?"
"If you don't tell the whole story today... don't even think about stepping into Fang Mansion."
When things have reached this point, Fang Lexian and Fang Pengyi have lost most of their face.
Tie Tang stopped talking nonsense and slapped four people in an instant, hitting the four people until they were embedded in the wall. He opened the door and walked in.
"The Fang family of Qingyun City...could it be that they are honored here?"
Only the first family that dominates all year round can raise such servants.
As long as there is another aristocratic family ranked before the local family, these guards would not dare to be so unscrupulous.
A leopard can be seen in the tube.
From the situation of the Fang family in Qingyun City...
Tie Tang speculated that the power of the Fang family was too huge, and it might have reached a point where the main family could no longer suppress it.
There will always be some small places where the Fang family raises strange species, which eventually cause accidents.
However, these things had nothing to do with the purpose of his trip. He turned a few thoughts around in his mind and put away these distracting thoughts.
After entering Fang Mansion, Tie Tang quickly found the head of the family following the auras of the most powerful people in the manor.
Although Tie Tang came very strangely, after mentioning Fang Lexian's name, the head of the Fang family quickly treated him as an honored guest and did not dare to show any slights.
After sitting down and taking a few sips of tea, Tie Tang got down to business.
"I came here this time just to see that person with my own eyes. Please be patient with me, Master Fang."
Fang Yuande waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "I don't dare, I don't dare. Even if it is the master's family's business, it is also my Fang's business. Don't worry, I will call someone to come here."
Not long after.
A housekeeper walked up to Fang Yuande with small steps, whispered a few words in a low voice, and glanced at Tie Tang from time to time.
Tie Tang did not eavesdrop, but he could tell just from his expression that it was an incident outside the door and not related to business.
Fang Yuande frowned at first, but then calmed down and turned into an angry expression.
"These four people are so courageous that they even dare to neglect the distinguished guests of the master's house. They are dragged down and each of them is beaten ten times with a cane and fined half a month's salary."
Tie Tang drank tea silently, saying nothing.
Just now.
For a moment.
He felt from Fang Yuande that the other party had the idea of dealing with him.
Fang Yuande's punishment was obviously just for Tie Tang to see. Whether it was ten strokes with a cane or a half-month salary fine, it was neither painful nor itchy.
Tie Tang secretly sighed: "It seems that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. It is also the case. Without the connivance of my master, no matter how greedy the subordinates are, they have to restrain themselves. How could they be so domineering?"
Tie Tang didn't take Fang Yuande's actions or even him seriously.
As long as they don't affect his trip, these minor conflicts are not a problem at all.
How did Fang Yuande know that Tie Tang's state of mind had reached a state where he could neither see nor hear, and avoid danger when he sensed it?
The little thought he revealed just now has been captured by Tie Tang.
After Fang Yuande pretended to be angry, he chatted with Tie Tang for a few words, and also briefly mentioned the real owner Tie Tang wanted to meet.
"My distinguished guest doesn't know that that man is doing all the dirty work. He also came to Qingyun City recently. I have never seen him before."
After a while.
A servant came over with a young man in gray clothes, nodded and bowed to Fang Yuande, and kept saying hello.
Fang Yuande waved his hand impatiently: "Tell this distinguished guest everything you know."
The boy bowed his body and said quickly: "Yes, yes, yes...that man calls himself Zhuanzi, and he got the news about the Fang family's missing person from somewhere..."
After listening to this, Tie Tang asked slowly: "Where is that person now? How to contact him?"
"That person..."
Before the boy could speak, Fang Yuande interrupted him.
"Dear guest, please rest assured. Fang has inquired carefully about the regulations. The person lives in the Yunlai Inn in the city, in the Tianzihao Dingfang.
If there is no accident...he will not run away randomly on weekdays."
Tie Tang stood up immediately, took out a jade bottle and handed it to Fang Yuande.
"This time, the head of the Fang family has helped me. I will not thank you for your kindness. If the clues are true, Tie will have a generous reward."
"No matter what your guest says, it's all a trivial matter."
After several refusals, Fang Yuande accepted the jade bottle, and after Tie Tang left, he opened it and took a look.
There are five crystal clear life elixirs inside, with a total life span of five hundred years.
"Hmph, this guy is also a dishonest person. He only has a life span of 500 years, and he is sent to be a beggar?"
Fang Yuande threw the jade bottle to the housekeeper as if he was throwing away rubbish. Da Ma Jin Dao sat down and summoned the orioles and swallows to sing and dance with him, and drank wine. He felt very uncomfortable.
The other side.
After Tie Tang left Fang Mansion, he rushed to the Yunlai Inn in the city without stopping.
This inn is overcrowded, the business is excellent, and the style is great. It should be one of the best in Qingyun City.
Seeing Tie Tang come in, a waiter immediately came forward to greet him.
"Does the guest officer work in a hotel or stay in a hotel?"
"Stay in the hotel."
"Okay, come with me. Do you want a good private room or..."
Tie Tang rented Room C next to Room D. After the waiter left, he walked out of the room, came to the door of Room D, and gently opened the door.
Tuk-tuk-tuk...
No response.
He exerted a slight force on his palms and was about to push the door open, but was bounced back by a counter-shock force.
"Huh?"
"There are restrictions on staying in an inn?"
Tie Tang was suspicious, but didn't think much about it and pushed hard again.
Bo!
With a clear sound, the door opened instantly.
No one was seen inside.
The wing room is very large, after all, it is the best room in this inn.
After Tie Tang entered, his brows furrowed even more.
He smelled blood.
Very heavy.
When he reached the corner of the screen, he saw an inhuman corpse lying on the bed not far away.
Maybe.
It would be more appropriate to call it a pile of minced meat.
"It can't be... such a coincidence, right?"
Tie Tang didn't want to believe that the pile of minced meat in front of him could be the 'boil' he was looking for.
But the facts seem to be before our eyes.
If the person on the bed was killed by a boil, then there is no need for him to leave the body here, he can deal with it by his own means.
The scene in front of me...
It's more like the boil offended someone and was chopped into pieces alive to vent his anger, and then placed a ban on the room to delay others from knowing the news.
Tie Tang was about to step forward to investigate carefully when he saw someone shouting outside the door.
"Killing, killing!"
Thumb thump thump...
A group of police officers rushed to the scene very quickly and wanted to detain Tie Tang on the spot.
No doubt about it.
Based on the current situation, he is obviously the first suspect.
