Chapter 43: The whereabouts of the fifth prime minister, conspiracy and consultation
"Three hundred miles to the east of You County, there is a city near Qujiang. A feast will be held in a few days."
"What does this have to do with me?"
"I heard that the rewards for the feast include the fifth phase of the five-phase diagram of the bull - the swallowing of the sun and the moon!"
Tie Tang fell silent.
Breathing in and out of the sun and moon phases is a skill for the blood exchange realm. It can be said that he urgently needs it now.
But...
"Old Wang, where did you find out?"
Wang Andao said cheerfully: "I went abroad to visit Dongzhu City and suddenly heard this rumor, so I rushed back to inform you."
Tie Tang felt warm in his heart. It was true that Yuan Hua was rebellious, but he still had friends around him.
After pondering for a moment, he still refused.
"I have so many cases on my hands now that I'm afraid I won't be able to leave in a short time."
Wu Qing and Yuan Hua have not yet been arrested, the chief arrester captured by You County has not yet been convicted, as well as Meng Ying'er and her daughter, and those bones in Yinfeng Mountain...
If possible, Tie Tang wishes he could be separated.
Wang Andao didn't care: "I just heard Mr. Duan say that the murderer was that boy Yuan Hua? And he also entered the realm of blood exchange?
It’s really interesting...
Let’s do this, I’ll help you capture them together and deal with some of the matters at hand first.”
"That's great. If Wang Lingshi takes action, he will be captured easily." Biqi jumped up happily.
Tie Tang stared at Wang Andao for a moment: "Aren't you going to be promoted to the secret realm of witchcraft? These are just trivial matters. Don't delay your practice."
Wang Andao didn't answer and asked instead: "The person who helped you position the Seven Stars, you should know how to be promoted to a witch, right?"
"Know something."
"Promoting from the physical secret realm to the witchcraft secret realm does not mean that your physical body has been cultivated.
If you can develop more acupoints in the secret realm of the physical body, the foundation for entering the secret realm of witchcraft will become more profound.
I now have access to 108 acupoints, which is barely considered top-notch.
But if I can open up a few more acupoints, I have no reason to refuse.
Therefore, I don’t have to be promoted immediately, I can choose.
I can even forcibly suppress my cultivation until I can no longer open any acupoints, and then I can be promoted."
No one present had heard of what Wang Andao said, and even Duan Jingrui had only a partial understanding of it.
At this time, he stood up and asked: "I dare to ask Wang Lingshi, if this is the case, why don't you practice to the last step and then enter the secret realm of witchcraft?"
"Haha~"
Wang Andao smiled like a flower and waved his hand: "Don't be so serious, sit down, sit down, these are not secrets, there is no harm in talking about them.
Why don’t I cultivate to the last step?
There is a reason.
With my current skills and qualifications, if I don't have a big adventure, such as the Human Emperor's initiation...
At most.
At most, there are only a dozen or twenty more acupoints that can be opened, and the limit has been reached.
Moreover, it takes a huge amount of energy and time, which can be said to be more than worth the gain.
You have this skill.
I might as well advance to the secret realm of witchcraft first, then build a high-rise building, and in turn upgrade the secret realm of the physical body, which will have the same effect.
It's just that it's a little weaker in terms of foundation and potential.
Perhaps in the future, these small problems will cause obstacles to break through to a higher realm.
But that’s all a matter of years and years of the monkey. Who dares to say which state he will be able to cultivate to?"
Speaking of this, even Biqi, who was in the Skin Refining Realm, realized it clearly and couldn't help but nod.
"One hundred and eight acupoints... barely considered top-notch."
Tie Tang secretly calculated that it seemed almost impossible to open up the 360 acupoints in the secret realm of the physical body.
"In that case, Lao Wang, just follow me.
Let's see if we can find any trace of Yuan Hua and catch him first. I have to ask why he did this."
——
Yuncheng, a secret room somewhere.
It's dark and boring here, with piles of clutter all around. There's only one oil lamp in the corner, and the air is extremely dull. If an ordinary person stayed here, he would have to breathe out in a short time.
But at this time, there were two figures in black robes sitting cross-legged on the ground, whispering.
"The deeds have been exposed. Our plan can't continue. It's better to escape." It was Wu Qing's voice.
"I don't care. Anyway, I have nothing to do with the county magistrate. The murderer who insulted your sister has been punished. It depends on what you think."
This voice.
It’s Yuan Hua!
"The culprit has been beheaded, and I can be considered avenged. If it weren't for the mountain god..."
"Shh!"
"He even had his golden body overthrown by his head. I'm afraid he is now a lost dog. This is the best time for us to escape."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Most of our cultivation comes from Him. Even the techniques are taught by Him. There's no guarantee that there won't be any backhanded tricks."
"I have already left a way out. As long as I find the corpse exorcist and make a deal with him, why should I fear ghosts and gods?"
"The corpse exorcists are not easy to mess with. I'm afraid we are riding a tiger now."
"If Iron God hadn't found out too early, this kid Qingfeng could have at least helped us for a while, or even become a scapegoat."
"Isn't it all your fault? Yihongyuan just killed people and left, but he stayed where he was?
It's all your fault. You want me to wipe your ass, otherwise things wouldn't have reached this point."
Wu Qing was furious: "What do you know? Cuihong treats me sincerely. I'll kill you if you ask me to. Why don't you just look at her a few more times?
Do you think everyone is as cold-blooded and ruthless as you?"
"Am I cold-blooded? Am I ruthless? You have been captured and chased over and over again. Which time did I not help you escape? Without me, you would have been beheaded."
"What a joke, if it weren't for you and that grass-headed god, why would I have been captured?"
"Okay, let's not argue about this. We have to find an opportunity to get out of Yuncheng first."
"You want to come back? Otherwise we would have left by now."
"Wu Qing, shut up!"
"Shut up if you tell me to shut up? Why?"
.............
Two days passed in a row.
All the men of the arresting hall were distributed, but Wu Qing and Yuan Hua were not found.
Tie Tang withdrew most of the Meihua internal guards sent out to inquire about private affairs, and searched all over Yuncheng and the surrounding countryside, but found nothing.
After all.
Wu Qing and Yuan Hua are both in the marrow-cleansing realm, and the other is in the blood-changing realm.
The two men's martial arts attainments far surpassed those of these agents. If they deliberately concealed themselves, it would be difficult for ordinary agents and agents to detect them.
They can't be found, and there are other cases being handled.
The corpses in Yinfeng Mountain have been roughly cleaned up. After a rough inventory, there are at least more than 200 corpses.
Judging from the identification of the bones of the deceased...
The death time span of these people is very large, the earliest one died several decades ago, and the latest one died about a year ago.
In terms of age and gender, everyone is welcome, both men and women, old and young. It can almost be concluded that the crime was committed randomly.
Tie Tang sat at the front of the arresting hall, listening to the reports from the arresting officers.
"It can be inferred from the above information that these people are unlikely to be killed by Wu Qing and Yuan Hua. They should be caused by the gods in the mountain temple.
The specific means used and for what purpose... are not something that subordinates can figure out."
Tie Tang felt a little angry when he thought of that statue.
"This old thief still dares to call himself a god. He has done so many evil things. We must not let him go."
"Qingfeng!"
"My subordinate is here." Qingfeng sat in his seat and reluctantly responded.
He came out of the cell and found that the county government had changed.
Not only were the detectives and officers pointing fingers at him, but Tie Tang's cultivation level was also rising rapidly.
Now he can't fight or fight, so he can only try his best to defend his one-third of an acre of land.
"Go to the Youxian Supervisory Office and report the case to them in detail, and ask them to send someone to handle it."
"Ahem, the chief arrester, I'm not looking for trouble.
You said these people are all dead, and I'm afraid their family members will all be dead.
Is there any need to work hard?
It’s better to find a place to bury it and erect a monument to inform this matter..."
Tie Tang's face darkened, and he said indifferently: "What? You can't get enough of the county arrest position. Do you want to sit in the chief arrest position?"
Qingfeng waved his hands repeatedly, not daring to say anything, and turned around to leave.
"My subordinates will set off immediately!"
This case has been put on hold for the time being, but there is still a case of beating the drum to protest injustice.
Tie Tang looked at Duan Jingrui: "What? Is the evidence sufficient?"
The latter immediately responded: "There should be no omissions and you can go to court immediately."
