Chapter 456: Past Remnants, the Old Taoist Priest in the Market

With one step, Du En had already arrived in front of his house with Zhu Qing.

In the city full of poor cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, Zhu Qing, who had completed Qi Refining, was obviously one of the people with the best family conditions, so the place he lived in was not too small. It was a three-room house with a small courtyard, enough for five or six people to live in.

But in fact, there were not so many people, only the traces of the two brothers and sisters, so it seemed quite spacious and livable.

After being put down, Zhu Qing was still a little dazed, then he reacted, opened the door very consciously, and introduced it to Du En.

"The main house is the craftsman's workshop. I usually refine weapons in it, and my sister will make some puppet parts. I live in the left room, and my sister lives in the right room. I didn't touch anything in it..."

He was a little nagging, introducing the situation with some reminiscence and melancholy.

Du En didn't mind it. He waved his hand to stop the guards from following him, and stepped in with a slightly frown.

In the eyes of the semi-permanent holy pupils here, it was obvious that something was wrong!

Sheng Zhaoshui and Anshen also noticed it, so they used the secret method of Taoism to enhance the depth of their vision.

Mirror Moon True Pupil.

Observing the Dark Eye.

One's pupils seemed to reflect the dark moon, which could break the illusion and see the truth.

One's sight was like the waves of the abyss, and one could see the bottom directly.

Under the blessing of this pupil method, they also saw what Du En saw.

There were some traces of sky blue, all over the courtyard, like some kind of image scar, which would flicker slightly from time to time because of the movement of people, but it would not disappear and collapse, as if it had been implanted in this house.

Such an obvious abnormality was completely unnoticeable from the outside, even if the three people's consciousness actually arrived one step earlier, and covered it with three layers inside and outside, they also did not notice it at all.

Even if you are there in person and use the secret method of Taoism, you can only see the superficial surface. You can feel what is hidden in the flash, but you can't see it.

This is really surprising, and then you can only be serious and solemn.

So Du En began to exert his strength.

The dazzling gold surged from the bottom of his eyes, and in the blink of an eye it flowed into the entire pupil.

Holy pupil plus golden pupil!

Perfect to the extreme, the depth is comparable to the fire eye of the earth-grade Taoism!

Bang!

His eyes seemed to have directly broken some barriers, and seemed to have achieved some prerequisites. In short, in their eyes, the hidden inside has now flowed out.

"Brother, you are back!"

A crisp female voice suddenly sounded, making people turn around and look at the right side of the house where Zhu Yi lived, and then they saw that the door was opened, and a young woman dressed for home cleaning came out to welcome her brother who had returned home.

Zhu Qing didn't see it, and they didn't touch each other. He was still explaining the situation, but he just stopped with Du En, and his eyes were filled with anxiety and worry.

"What is this?"

"The afterimage of the past?"

"How could it be so deep and so secret? I didn't even notice it before? How could it be just an ordinary afterimage?"

Sheng Zhaoshui looked at the afterimage of Zhu Yi's past, doing daily actions from who knows how long ago, welcoming his brother, discussing Xin Huo, what to eat for dinner, and other ordinary household situations, muttering, and his eyes became particularly solemn.

Because this was hidden very deeply, the afterimage of the past that finally surfaced was just like this, engraved with the fragments of what happened in this house before.

There was no other information, only the most ordinary household.

But this seemed strange, because it should be a major secret to hide it in this way.

Unless, this is just a hint.

The most likely possibility is that Luo Yu Supreme is reminding them not to have any fluke mentality.

I know you are here.

So, perform well.

The eyes of one person and one god are very solemn, because Cheng Ru Zhen Jun seems to be unexpectedly useless, and can't buy them any space and time to act secretly.

But, is it really like this?

In fact, the situation at this time can also be interpreted as Cheng Ru Zhen Jun reminding them that this woman named Zhu Yi will be the key to this situation, and they should find her quickly!

The daily residual image itself does not provide any useful information, just to highlight Zhu Yi's existence!

Of course, Du En and the others are not so naive, so even Du En, who is as calm as he is, frowned slightly at this moment, and his eyes were solemn. The overall atmosphere quietly became solemn due to the influence of the three people, which made Zhu Qing, who had just finished speaking, feel a little nervous.

He didn't dare to ask more questions, just waited expectantly, and didn't even dare to look at Du En.

In the slanting light, I saw Du En personally search the house carefully several times, then stood back empty-handed, and fell into a moment of dead silence.

"What should we do now?"

An Shen's question seemed a little unnecessary, reflecting his own mixed thoughts at the moment.

"In short, the goal has not changed, to find the missing person, so take this Zhu Qing, stay with you to observe, and then go to the place where the young man disappeared to explore. Since they are all missing, maybe they are connected together."

Sheng Zhaoshui made a mature suggestion, and there was no need to say it, because they all knew to do this.

So, with a slight nod, Du En said to Zhu Qing: "Your sister's matter is a little special, it is not a simple matter to find her back, so you should follow us first."

"Okay, okay, everything is up to you, sir!"

Zhu Qing couldn't find his sister by himself, so naturally he had no objection.

"Just in case, I'll give you some self-defense items."

Du En said so, picked out some things he could use from Master Jiuyun's family, and then took some materials to make a small puppet of the fifth-level middle grade. It can sweep the world invincible in the Qingxuan Star Realm, but it looks gray and inconspicuous on the surface, like a little monkey toy holding a gong.

"Thank you, sir, thank you!"

Faced with these second- and third-level things that he usually doesn't get to touch, Zhu Qing was naturally ecstatic. He thanked him repeatedly on the spot. After taking over, he was overjoyed, and his worries about his sister were temporarily dispelled.

However, for the palm-sized fifth-level puppet, he only recognized it as a puppet, and didn't notice the details. He took a casual look and didn't pay too much attention to it. The main focus was still on the two third-level things.

It seems that there is no problem...

Du En thought to himself. Then he turned around and walked out of the yard.

Zhu Qing hurriedly followed him.

The things in his hand were not put away properly, so they were seen by the guards.

The guard leader's pupils shrank, his body trembled, and then he met Du En's gaze. He immediately sweated on his back and stepped forward to see: "Your Excellency, have you found anything?"

"Well, the situation here may be related to the disappearance of that evil beast. This matter cannot be underestimated. The danger is actually not small. You must be mentally prepared next."

After receiving such a simple reply, the guard leader's thoughts were a little confused.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the person in front of him was not his master, but the other party did not seem to be a vicious and evil person, so, did the master encounter an accident?

Now that the young master is missing, the other party came to pursue him, and unexpectedly paid attention to this side. After the investigation, it seems that it is more serious than before... It seems that this disappearance is really not to be taken lightly. Perhaps the master sensed the danger and found a Taoist friend from outside Xuwei to come to help?

The guard leader had some luck, but in the final analysis, it was because the upper limit of the Qingxuan Star Realm was at the early stage of the Spiritualization, and there were many means arranged in the City Lord's Hall, so in his cognition, it was impossible for anyone to quietly kill his master.

Thinking in this way, he felt a little relieved.

Going back to the guards, he immediately ordered: "You all heard that this matter is not trivial, so don't have too many trivial thoughts, and don't have any luck. Be careful next time!"

"Yes!"

The guards were startled and quickly responded in unison.

Seeing that the leader was quite sensible, Du En didn't say anything and turned to the next target.

The people in the Poor Cultivation Cave can finally breathe a sigh of relief for a while, and the news is also spreading in all directions.

The speed of the crowd increased, and soon they arrived at the place where the master's only son disappeared.

In a dark alley outside a market town, several guards were anxiously waiting here, pacing back and forth, looking particularly uneasy.

Because of poor care, because of the master's cruelty, because...

"What's the situation?"

Du En's disguised voice came over, and they were immediately frightened. They pounced on the ground like toads, sticking to the dirt, and kowtowed to admit their mistakes.

"I'm afraid these few people were anxiously thinking about how to get you to forgive their sins!"

Sheng Zhaoshui couldn't help but say this, which was also a relief. After saying it, he chuckled and seemed to be back to normal.

But he didn't make a wrong judgment. The few people who confessed their sins were indeed thinking about how to make their confession attitude appear the best and most positive.

-If there was a pile of dung on the scene now, they would definitely hit it with their heads. The main point was to show an attitude and win sympathy and forgiveness!

Du En didn't even look at them. He observed the surroundings and after making sure there were no clues, he turned his head and looked at the City Lord's Mansion guard whose face was still swollen.

The other party was very smart and immediately stood up and said, "The Lixiao Market outside is where the young master acted recklessly before. Those people are just small cultivators who set up stalls. They will hide when something happens, but they have to go in and out of the market entrance over there. Therefore, the young master who is unaware of the situation should want to stay here and watch for people."

The other party pointed to the gatehouse of the only entrance and exit of the market and expressed his speculation.

To be honest, this seems a bit nonsense.

He obviously understood it himself. After the foundation, he continued to speak quickly: "Although the young master is hiding in the dark, it is said that there is a Yuanying stage cultivator in Lixiao Market now. He has made a move before. If the other party was here at the time, he might have discovered the young master a long time ago and might know some clues."

Then go and ask.

Du En expressed this idea with practical actions.

The guard leader's eyes flashed, as if he was waiting for some answer.

It seems that this hermit in the Nascent Soul stage is a hermit, but in fact, it is very clear in the eyes of those who are interested, and he has some connection with Master Jiuyun.

Du En thought so, and recalled Jiuyun's life, and quickly locked on a few people who could be involved.

While he was still thinking about it, a large group of people had already filed out.

Seeing the leading guard raising the flag, the people in front and behind the gate of the market were suddenly shocked, and some people were already uneasy, and now they were extremely terrified, almost scared to death.

It is obvious that when the master's only son came here to do evil, he had said something cruel, which led to misunderstanding now.

And because this place seemed to be undisguised, the few Jindan stage casual cultivators with high cultivation and spiritual awareness in the market have appeared here at this moment. They are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but they bite the bullet and don't go out to greet them immediately, for fear that standing out will mean death!

They are waiting for someone.

This is visible to the naked eye.

There is no need for Du En to stop and wait. As the crowded crowd on the avenue in the distance quickly dispersed, a figure wearing a bright red robe appeared there.

The words came before the person arrived.

"Jiuyun! You are so majestic now! What? Are you really going to bloodbath the market for your beastly son?!"

Although he was only in the late Yuanying stage, he spoke very impolitely. The guards of the City Lord's Mansion did not react much, as if they had expected it.

It was indeed him, the old Taoist Chi Li.

Du En thought so and observed the other party secretly.

This Taoist Chi Li, like his name, already looks very old, with wrinkles piled up one after another on his face. At this moment, as he was furious, his wrinkles kept surging, but they were not disgusting, but rather like a blazing fire, with a different kind of majesty.

The reason why he was not afraid or polite was because he was an old acquaintance of Master Jiuyun, and Jiuyun was still a latecomer, and he had been saved by him many times before.

At the same time, the Taoist's life span was about to end, and he could not see the dawn of a breakthrough to extend his life span, so naturally he had no scruples, and dared to say whatever he wanted, completely following his rather righteous character.

Because of this character, his reputation among the casual cultivators was very high, and he could be said to be highly respected. Invisibly, he was regarded as the leader of the casual cultivators in Jiuyun City, so under normal circumstances, Master Jiuyun would not care too much about him.

Now it was Du Enlai, so naturally he would not care even more, and directly chose to stand out from the crowd.

"Fellow Daoist Chi Li, you are joking. I am not here to defend that evil creature, but for other important matters. That is why I have mobilized so many troops. I did not expect that fellow Daoist has been practicing in seclusion here recently."

"Hmph! Don't give me that! Don't you know I am here? And who doesn't know that you indulge your precious only son? And your gang of subordinates, if I hadn't avoided them intentionally, I would have been killed by all kinds of difficulties, both openly and secretly, right?"

When these heart-piercing words came out, the guards' faces changed drastically. Some of them wanted to scold, but looking at Du En in front of them, they still restrained themselves and did not dare to speak casually.

I always felt that if I disrupted and dragged down his pace at this time, the end would be miserable!
