Chapter 970 Speculation

An unexpected surprise made Shen Hao's trip to Xinliang City extremely enjoyable.

Acting falsely with a few swindlers made Shen Hao feel tired, but this map of Yin jade in his hands swept away the tiredness in his heart, and even looked at the Shen family a little pleasing to the eye.

According to Shen Hao's guess, most of the Yinyu map came out of various strange places, and belonged to a special item different from this world itself. And the lines on the map above all point to the underground palaces in the City of Death. This also coincides with Xuanqing Weili's speculation about the origin of the underground palace under the city of vain death. They are not things of this world, so it is only logical that they are connected.

Although there were not many strange places in the old Jing Dynasty, they were rare, but the number of strange places that have appeared over the years is actually quite a few, and one or two will always pop up inadvertently.

Shen Hao had once explored the strange place, he understood the danger inside, and also knew the good things that might appear inside.

Of course, the map of Yin jade is actually a good thing, but its unique disguise makes it impossible for most people to see through it. They just regard it as a rare "big piece of Yin jade" and classify it as a general refining material. And Shen Hao was able to see the map outlined by the red lines attached to it because of the help of the black beast tattoo on his chest.

Before this, Shen Hao had a total of five Yinyu maps in his hands, some of which could be spliced ​​together, and some of them were separate. However, after repeated comparisons with the one he got from the Shen family this time, he found that it could be compared with Among them, the Yinyu map with the eyeless beast head is on top, and connected together to form a continuous map route.

Although Shen Hao doesn't mind having as many Yinyu Maps as possible, he doesn't have much clue as to how to use them.

After leaving Xinliang City, Shen Hao returned to the yamen of the Black Flag Camp in Fengri City. He had just taken a sip of tea when Wang Jian hurriedly knocked on the door and came in with a gloomy expression.

"My lord, this is about the undercover investigation at "Duckling Bay". It's about the same as you expected. It's just that those evil cultivators didn't have any real contact with the local people, but they used another method." .”

Wang Jian managed to get a little fatter and lost all his weight in more than a month. The eye sockets were a little sunken, and his complexion was also sallow due to fatigue, only those eyes were really bright.

During this period of time, he was investigating the case of Ye Lansheng's nest in the imperial city, coordinating the intelligence gathering of remote villages on the front line of the Black Flag Camp, and at the same time paying attention to the internal purges of Xuanqing Guards in various places. Wang Jian can sleep for two hours a day. It is considered a luxury. Yes, I often stay up late night after night. Although some cultivation bases are close to him, he can't bear it anymore, and his face is full of fatigue.

Shen Hao doesn't want his confidant to be so tired, but there are so many things. Wang Jian is currently a core figure on the intelligence side. Although he doesn't need to be responsible for specific analysis and sorting out, he needs to make up his mind on all aspects of overall planning and golden shield arrangements. . So for the time being, Wang Jian can only persevere and make adjustments later.

Taking the copper bar handed over by Wang Jian, he unfolded it and listened to Wang Jian's report while looking it up.

"My lord, according to your instructions, we traced back the life trajectories of the survivors in the families of those who died inexplicably, and found that these survivors had gone to the local "temple" to worship or stay more than a month ago. One of them stayed overnight in the "temple" because he was drunk to avoid his family's nagging.

After that, the family members of these people began to experience various physical discomforts one after another, and they deteriorated rapidly and finally died.

In addition, according to our secret autopsy, it was found that the dead were not sick at all, but died of the decay of the soul and the severance of vitality. This can already prove that these people did not die normally but were killed.

And the murderer who killed these people. Our preliminary judgment is the relatives of the deceased, that is, the only one who survived. "

Wang Jian talked a lot, and Shen Hao happened to see the cause of death, so he interjected, "What is the basis for the judgment?"

"Returning to the adults, it is judged based on the source of true energy in those survivors."

"Be more careful." Shen Hao didn't raise his head, while continuing to look at the words on the copper bar, he also wanted to hear what Wang Jian said.

"It's my lord. According to our secret contact and the investigation by relying on the method, we found that the source of the true energy of these survivors was not obtained by their own cultivation, nor by taking some treasures from heaven and earth, but from Extracted and converted from their family members?"

"Extraction? You mean the extracted soul energy and vitality?" Shen Hao put down the copper bar in his hand, and then his face became a little more cautious. He himself has a black beast tattoo that can extract other people's souls and convert them into true qi to feed back to him, and those evil monks also have similar methods. Shen Hao had learned this before when he fought Xue Gui with that weird mask. It's just that right now, it will actually appear on some people who obviously have no foundation in practice and belong to ordinary people.

Wang Jian didn't know what was going on in Shen Hao's mind, so he just told the story according to the situation he had and the analysis of the fourth part of Heishui, and said with certainty: "Yes, my lord, the analysis of Heishui is that the reason why those people will be killed because of their souls. , The vitality dried up and died was extracted by the survivors in their family.

There are two evidences for this.

First, as the physical condition of the family members became worse and worse, the true energy in the survivors became stronger and stronger, which can be deduced from the situation witnessed by the surrounding villagers. According to others, even if one person takes care of a large family, he is not exhausted, and he is in good spirits.

Second, the closer the survivors were to the survivors, the faster they died. Husband and wife come before children, before parents, and so on. This shows that the longer the time of close contact with survivors, the easier it is to draw vitality and soul energy.

In the end, we had close contact with a few survivors in secret. Even the masters of the late Qi Refining Realm would be very slow and insensitive to the extraction of soul and vitality. Being corroded by the opponent when approaching the opponent.

In fact, there are already rumors about "catastrophe" among the villagers. Everyone took the initiative to keep a distance from the survivors. Instead, they fought sideways so as not to be harmed virtually. "

Reasonable and well-founded, although not all speculations have firm empirical evidence, they can already be used as a basis for judgment.

After a moment of silence, Shen Hao said: "How can this be done? What are your plans for Heishui?"

"My lord, at present the most direct and most effective way is to take people, take down a few survivors for interrogation, and naturally solve the key. Besides, the large-scale implementation of the evil plan is about to be implemented in various places. If we can find out about the evil cultivators in Jingxi It will be of great help to the actions in various places."
