Chapter 396 What a Coincidence

Welcome Hall.

It was still the familiar Welcome Hall.

It was just that the people received yesterday were from the Lin family.

And today, the people received were from afar.

As the head of the Yudifu, An Menyi had naturally heard of the Bo family of Lei Ting City.

But he didn't expect that they would come to Tianyuan Town specifically.

The matter to be investigated was about a group called the Ghost Six Rats.

Through the dispatch documents, there were traces of the Ghost Six Rats being active in Tianyuan Town, but they were all a few years ago, and in the end, no one was caught, only the document records were left.

However, recently, a text description was added to this record, saying that some time ago, the Ghost Six Rats had trespassed into the Diao Mansion of the Yudifu and were eventually driven out.

The recorder was a team member named Mi Hengpeng.

The hall masters naturally had no impression of the existence of a small shrimp like Mi Hengpeng.

But Diao Mansion, isn't it the residence of Diao Deyi?

So, Diao Deyi, the captain of the Yangshen Hall, was summoned to the Welcome Hall.

【Bo Wei: 3105/3105. 】

【Bo Tong: 2215/2215. 】

【Bo Yunqiao: 1809/1809. 】

【Bo Dian: 1964/1964. 】

【……】

When Fang Yu entered the reception hall, the first thing he saw was these strange guys.

All surnamed Bo?

Fang Yu had a flash of doubt in his mind, but on the surface he saluted the hall masters calmly.

"Hello, hall master."

Bo Wei was sitting in his seat drinking tea, and An Menyi introduced him at this time.

"This is Diao Deyi, who I just mentioned. He is one of the captains of our Yangshen Hall. Diao Deyi, have you heard of the Ghost Six Rats?"

What can Fang Yu say? Say that he doesn't know? This is obviously unrealistic.

After a little hesitation, Fang Yu said: "... I have heard a little bit."

Fang Yu vaguely guessed what this group of people came for.

But he didn't expect that Bo Fanfan's background was so great that someone would come from Thunder City to help him after his death!

"Among the six ghost rats, there is one named Bo Fanfan, a descendant of the Bo family, one of the ten major families in Thunder City. Some time ago, Bo Fanfan lost contact, so the Bo family sent them to investigate the situation and find the person as soon as possible."

I don't know if An Menyi was euphemistic or if this group of people just used this excuse.

They all came from afar, so it must not be as simple as losing contact.

"Master, how can I help these adults to investigate?" Fang Yu planned to play dumb.

"It's very simple. Tell these Bo family envoys in detail about the invasion of your mansion by the six ghost rats that day, and then cooperate with them in their actions."

At present, the Yudi Mansion is facing the hostility of the Lin family. If the big families in Thunder City can be won over to stand up for themselves, they will have more bargaining power when facing the five major families in the future.

But Anmen Yi only thought so. Judging from the intentions of the Bo family, they were simply here to investigate the situation and did not want to get involved in the disputes in Tianyuan Town.

Bo Wei narrowed his eyes at this time.

"Captain Diao, why did the Ghost Six Rats break into your house?"

"I don't know." Fang Yu shook his head.

"Don't know?"

"Yes."

"It is recorded in the case file..."

Fang Yu interrupted, "That day, a thief did try to break into my house, but I was not there at the time. I was found and driven away by my men. Since I have never seen the man's face, I am not sure whether the intruder is the Six Rats of the Ghost Dao."

"It was only later that my men conducted an in-depth investigation that I learned the identity of the thief."

"But the thief has been missing for many days, and now there is no trace of him, so I did not investigate further. Maybe the thief was afraid of the power of the Yudi Mansion and fled Tianyuan Town."

"..."

Bo Wei was silent for a while, and then said, "I see, it seems that Captain Diao doesn't know much, then please Captain Diao, call Mi Hengpeng, I want to ask some questions in person."

Fang Yu glanced at the hall master, who nodded, and Fang Yu ordered the guard at the door to call Mi Hengpeng.

At this time, the hall master began to chat with Bo Wei about family matters, the customs and practices of Thunder City, and Fang Yu also listened in.

After a while, Mi Hengpeng came.

He seemed a little confused. He didn't expect the scene here to be so big, and his body trembled slightly.

"Hello, hello, hall master! Hello, Captain Diao!"

When he lowered his head, he looked at Fang Yu with his eyes full of confusion and help.

Fang Yu gave him a reassuring look, and he was a little more stable.

Then it was Bo Wei's questioning.

Basically, he asked Mi Hengpeng what happened on the day of the incident, how he investigated, where he investigated, and finally what the current investigation results were.

"Because this matter is confusing and the clues have been cut off, I didn't investigate it anymore."

Mi Hengpeng hesitated.

He didn't bring up Fang Yu's words that told him not to investigate any further.

But it was also true that in this situation, if you offend Fang Yu, you won't have to work for Fang Yu in the future.

"This brother did a very thorough investigation and his thinking was correct, but it's a pity that he couldn't find Bo Fanfan's whereabouts."

Bo Wei said, knowing in his heart that the days when Bo Fanfan disappeared should be when he was killed.

Knowing the approximate date would make the investigation easier.

After asking some more detailed questions, Bo Wei prepared to leave.

"Don't you need our people to accompany you?"

An Menyi asked.

"No, let's just investigate it ourselves. If necessary, we can ask everyone in Yudi Mansion for help."

An Menyi said with a smile: "We are guests, so you don't have to be so polite. If anything happens, just go to Diao Deyi directly. He will fully assist you in completing the investigation."

Povi smiled and nodded, then led the people away.

Mi Hengpeng was also dismissed casually.

In the room, only Fang Yu and An Menyi were left.

After Bo Wei left, An Menyi stopped smiling and said calmly: "The Bo family cannot trust us."

"Sir, how could the Bo family be from Thunder City? How could they trust us from Tianyuan Town?" Fang Yu said.

An Menyi glanced at Fang Yu.

"Tell me the truth, are you hiding anything from me about this matter they are investigating?"

"Sir, everything I say is true, how dare you hide anything!"

"If you don't want to say it, forget it, but think about it clearly. You only have one chance. If you don't say it now, if something happens in the future, you will have to bear it yourself. It's hard for us to take action against the Bo family."

"Sir, you really worry too much!"

"...It's best that way."

After a pause, An Menyi said.

"By the way, you remember what I told you yesterday about the field mission."

Fang Yu's heart tightened.

"Remember, the hall master is preparing for me to start my mission?"

"Well, I was planning to wait for a few more days, but suddenly there was the latest news. The holders of the three instruments began to take action and converged on the same place. I think... it is time for our Yudi Mansion to take action. "

Three utensils?

Fang Yu lowered his head and said, "Please elaborate."

Again, he was prepared to weigh the pros and cons before deciding whether to take on this task.

The wilderness... was still too risky after all. Without any mental preparation, Fang Yu really didn't want to go out.

Moreover, when you go to the wild, there are no demonic forces to call and protect you, and your sense of security is greatly reduced.

When Fang Yu thought of this, An Menyi had already spoken.

"Diao Deyi, do you know what evil spirit is?"

Fang Yu was stunned.

The topic changed so much that he couldn't take it anymore.

Weren't you just talking about the field mission? Why did you suddenly ask about evil spirits?

But Fang Yu still hesitated and replied: "I understand a little bit."

"Oh? You know, that's easy."

"If you know evil spirits, you should know that [evil spirits] are not something that ordinary people can be contaminated with."

"The stronger the evil spirit, the more dangerous it is."

"And those places where evil spirits are dignified are called [places where evil spirits gather]. For most warriors, they are forbidden places among forbidden places."

"But a long time ago, there was a group called [Sixteen Immortals]. They seized some things from [Baifenxian Mountain], a place where evil spirits gathered, and escaped."

"Then, the group split up, broke into pieces, and dispersed."

"Unexpectedly, the news eventually leaked. This group of people was pursued by people from all sides. Everyone wanted to know what they brought out from [Baifenxian Mountain]."

"And one of the [Sixteen Immortals] named [Red Immortal], unfortunately, died in our area while being hunted."

"The mysterious legacy it left behind has also aroused competition from all parties and was left in various places..."

"Nowadays, time has passed, and this kind of secret has long been forgotten by people."

"But our Yudi Mansion in Tianyuan Town has a long history and has been with Tianyuan Town for many years, so some records are left."

"Originally, this was just a record in the long history."

"But just a few years ago, there was some news coming out."

"It is said that the legacy left by [Red Immortal] back then is not complete. There is also a mysterious treasure land containing a great secret treasure. Its location information is hidden in some equipment."

"By gathering these tools and knowing where the secret treasure is, you can get the [Red Immortal] inheritance."

"For this reason, the various forces have begun to fight fiercely again, but it has never been reported who has obtained the [Red Immortal] inheritance. On the contrary, in various competitions, human beings are killing each other, causing heavy casualties, and the various forces are also As a result, the struggle in this area gradually subsided and life returned to calm.”

"Things should have ended like this."

"However, just some time ago, the body of a master was suddenly found on the roadside."

"There are three utensils left on the body, all of which have the mark of... [Red Immortal]."

"These three tools are the Hidden Ink Sword, the Wuxin Book, and the Chixin Stone."

"The three instruments are not very effective in themselves, and they are not considered good among the instruments."

"But these three objects are relics of the [Red Immortal] and may contain information about the great secret treasure of the [Red Immortal]. Therefore, people from all sides began to secretly inquire about them and prepare to seize them by force."

"And our Yudi Mansion has a unique advantage in this matter."

An Menyi looked directly at Fang Yu: "That's right, near."

Fang Yu:......

Fang Yu: Huh?

"close?"

"Yes, it's close. The place where the mysterious master's body died is not far from our Tianyuan Town. Of course, it's also not far from the nearby towns. Therefore, in this competition, in a short period of time, only we, the nearby forces That’s all.”

"However, many forces have long forgotten this part of history, or have no records of this at all. Only forces like Yudifu, which have a long history, can know the importance of these three instruments."

"So the mission of seizing the instruments this time must be low-key and not cause too much noise."

Fang Yu was puzzled.

"Does that mean that only our Yudifu is taking action on this mission?"

An Menyi shook his head.

"There is no wall that is impenetrable. I said that only forces with a long history will know about this, and they must be close, otherwise they will not be as fast as us in action. As soon as the three instruments surface, we can start to act, while they still have to check the whereabouts of the instruments, which is inherently slower than us."

Fang Yu understood.

This is not to say that there are few opponents, but that the competitors will be very strong.

What is going on? I thought it was a good thing, but it turned out to be no good news at all!

Fang Yu suddenly thought of Huang Qixin.

Wuxinshu...Jingling Gang...

The mud leg of the Jingling Gang seemed to have mentioned stones, swords, books, etc.

Could it be that the book is Huang Qixin's book?

And Qiong Xiaolou's ink pen, no, that's a pen, not a sword.

But Dong Xingzhou is indeed staring at Qiong Xiaolou.

Could it be that... the pen and the sword are the same thing?

Fang Yu scratched his head, feeling a little confused.

But he already understood what An Menyi meant, which was to take back the three instruments and find the great secret treasure.

But then, Fang Yu thought of a question.

"Master, from what you said, our Yudi Mansion should have been eyeing the holder of the three instruments a long time ago? Why did we have to wait until now to take action, and not before?"

An Menyi smiled.

"Because the time has not come yet, you know too little about [instruments]. Some instruments are just tools that can be used by anyone, while some instruments are selected by people. If you are not a specific person, you can't activate the instrument. It's like a monk in a temple consecrating a person. An unconsecrated instrument is just a pile of waste. After the consecration, anyone can use it."

So before, it was not consecrated?

Now that it has been consecrated, you start to seize the instruments?

Then doesn't the Yu Difu keep an eye on it every day? Can the instrument holders run into the wild?

As if seeing through Fang Yu's thoughts, An Menyi said lightly: "There is also a ceremony. The instruments of [Red Immortal] are different from ordinary instruments. If you want to unlock the secrets of the three instruments, you need three instruments to complete the ceremony."

"Even the three activated instruments are just ordinary instruments, and the instruments that complete the ceremony become keys, and their value is completely different. Although we don't know whether the news of the [Red Immortal] treasure is true or not. But you just take the things back first. When the time comes, you can take one of the three instruments as a reward for you."

Although Fang Yu felt a little strange in his heart, An Menyi had said so much, so he naturally took it for the time being.

At this moment, Fang Yu thought of Hei Ao and Zuo Lu.

Could it be...the instruments they want to seize are the same batch as the instruments I want to seize?
