Chapter 1472: Fish Pattern Clothes

"This is..." Chen Rong saw Cecilia in the room.

At this time, Cecilia was not wearing a bamboo hat or a mask, because it would look strange to wear these things in the room, which made people suspect that there was something tricky about it.

Seeing the description of Cecilia as a "foreign girl", Chen Rong was very puzzled.

Bai Xiaowen thought it over a long time ago, and said, "This is a friend I met when I was traveling in the Western Regions. She saved my life. The two of us are life and death friends."

"So that's how it is..." Chen Rong looked at Cecilia, still feeling a little uncomfortable, but he had put down his guard.

Bai Xiaowen continued to ask: "Miss Chen came here late at night, probably because of what happened just now?"

Chen Rong nodded: "Brother Lu, do you have any other clues?"

Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "I'm sorry, I rushed out immediately when I heard a very faint cry, but because I was not familiar with the layout of the house and the road conditions, and it was inconvenient to go through the door and door, it was already late when I arrived. It was you and that Elder Tang who arrived first."

Chen Rong said: "The dead disciple of the Shangqing Sect was named Zhou Wu, and he was one of the elite disciples participating in the Daoism discussion at the Shangqing Ceremony. This is the third time a disciple of the Shangqing Sect has been killed this month... because something happened In the inner sect of the Shangqing Sect, it can be called a scandal, so Elder Tang doesn't want outsiders to know about it."

"Elder Tang and Miss Chen inspected Zhou Wu's body, did they find any clues to the murderer?" Bai Xiaowen asked.

Chen Rong shook his head: "Junior Brother Zhou Wu was strangled by a huge force and twisted his neck to death. There is no alien energy left on his body, so there is no way to deduce the origin of the murderer."

"Broken neck?" Bai Xiaowen felt a little surprised. The battles of monks have always been Taoist fights. Even warriors rely on weapons to use their swords and swords to injure the enemy. This kind of barbaric method of directly breaking the neck is really rare.

"Since the disciples of the Shangqing sect were killed one after another, why did they hold the grand ceremony as scheduled? Isn't this an opportunity for foreign forces to sneak in?" Bai Xiaowen asked.

Chen Rong said: "The head of the sect retreats, and all matters big and small are decided by the elders. Some elders really wanted to postpone the grand ceremony, but they were opposed by most of the elders headed by Elder Tang. The Shangqing faction has invited experts from all the orthodox factions to come. Watching the ceremony and suspending the grand ceremony suddenly, on the one hand, will break the trust of others, and on the other hand, after people know the real reason, they will definitely ridicule the internal chaos of the Shangqing Sect and lose the sect's face."

Bai Xiaowen understood that the faction of the Shangqing sect was really out of the bad temper of the famous sect, and it was less of a disadvantage than a major cause of embarrassment.

"I don't know if Miss Chen found me, what can I do for you?" Bai Xiaowen skillfully tried to trigger the task.

Chen Rong said: "The grand ceremony is approaching, and I have to prepare for the Dao Discussion Conference. I don't have time to investigate this series of cases. I hope Brother Lu can help me and investigate secretly... because I suspect that there are ghosts in the sect, and I dare not Entrust this matter to other colleagues."

Bai Xiaowen was quickly reminded of the rules of the spirit world.

"Hero-level side mission: [Murderer in the Dark] is on."

"[Mission Objective: Investigate the murderer of the serial murder hidden in the Shangqing faction and find evidence.]"

"【Mission Difficulty: A】"

"[Task period: none (equal to your remaining time in this plane)]"

"[Mission Reward: 500 Spirit Crystals.

】”

Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes.

The task must be accepted, and the reward of 500 spirit crystals comes second. This is an opportunity to deeply participate in the sectarian struggle in Shaoxing, and it is also an important start to open up the situation. Of course, it should not be missed.

However, before accepting the task, one should make it clear that the benefits and conveniences that should be obtained must not be missed at all.

Bai Xiaowen said: "Miss Chen entrusts me with such an important task, of course I am obliged. However, I am not familiar with the situation of the Shangqing sect's inner sect, and I heard from Elder Tang that the inner sect is under the cover of the mountain guard formation. If I trigger the restriction, wouldn't it be that my life would be put on the line."

Chen Rong said, "Brother Lu, don't worry."

With that said, Chen Rong took out a scroll, handed it to Bai Xiaowen, and said, "The Great Mountain Protecting Formation is only for people who don't know how to walk, and the restriction will be triggered. We inner disciples all know the walking route within the Great Mountain Protecting Formation, Now I hand over the road map to you."

After a pause, Chen Rong said again: "Brother Lu, try not to be discovered by others, including our inner disciples of the Shangqing Sect. After finding the clues and evidence, come directly to the Huxinshui Pavilion to find me."

Bai Xiaowen took the scroll and asked again: "I am confident that I can avoid the eyes and ears of the disciples of the Shangqing sect. However, the elders of the Shangqing sect are all powerful. If I happen to walk near them, I am afraid it will be very difficult for me not to be discovered." what."

Chen Rong held a ball of frivolous things in his hand and handed them to Bai Xiaowen: "This is the fish-patterned garment bestowed by Master. As long as Brother Lu wears it on his body, it can not only hide his whereabouts, but also insulate body temperature and block most spiritual detection. "

Bai Xiaowen took it, and his eyes of evolution scanned the ball of fish-pattern clothes, and after unfolding, it could be seen that it was a cloak.

[Fish pattern clothing: Gold quality. Spiritual power protection level C+, additional skills: Stealth: After wearing a fish-patterned cloak, the wearer can be invisible and isolated from heat; 】

There is also a line of fine print at the back:

"The skill of the fish pattern clothes is hidden, and it needs to constantly consume the unique aura of the Shangqing faction, so it can only take effect within the range of the Shangqing faction's mountain protection formation."

Obviously, this fish pattern clothing has a powerful invisibility effect, but it has a limited effective area, which is equivalent to a mission item.

After Bai Xiaowen took the Yuwen garment, he said, "Don't worry, Ms. Chen, I will try my best to help you investigate." Then he chose to accept the task.

Chen Rong smiled: "Brother Lu, pay attention to safety. If you are really discovered by the disciples or elders of the Shangqing sect, then report my name."

Just as Chen Rong was about to leave, Bai Xiaowen suddenly said, "Wait a minute..."

Chen Rong turned around in doubt.

"Miss Chen, do you have any extra fish pattern clothes? I still have a companion." Bai Xiaowen pointed to Cecilia beside him.

The smile on Chen Rong's face disappeared, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Lu, this matter involves the reputation of the sect, and you are the only one I can trust. As for this heroine from the Western Regions, please sit in the quiet room and don't get involved gone."

"Okay." Bai Xiaowen sent Chen Rong away.

After the other party left, Cecilia said in a low voice: "I always feel that this Chen Rong looks a bit displeased to me. Does she like you?"

"I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."

Bai Xiaowen quickly denied it.
