Chapter 146: Hunting for Monsters

"Let's go."

Gu Xia said.

"Huh? What to do?"

Dugu is still a little confused.

Gu Xia said calmly: "Take me to see Miss Li Yan."

"OK."

The young man led the way, but he did not notice a strange smile on the corner of the man behind him.

Under the current situation, Gu Xia did not want to have contact with Yu Liyan, but if the beast-controlling talisman in his body was not removed for a day, he would still be controlled by others.

"But as long as we wait for nine more days, Xingchen will be able to complete the analysis of all the nodes of the beast-controlling talisman.

When the time comes, attack and defend with different forces. Not only can I be cleared of the suspicion of colluding with evildoers, but I can also get a fortune in exchange. "

Not long after, Gu Xia entered the city lord's mansion with Dugu Shang in a carriage.

…

In Dugu Shang's small courtyard.

The young man was on guard in the courtyard, and Gu Xia entered the room to meet Yu Liyan.

The bedroom decorated by Dugu Shang feels like the boudoir of a wealthy lady.

The embroidery pier, rose chair, beauty couch, dressing box, mirror stand, etc. are all available. The flower branches in the vase are also newly cut, and the fragrance of the flowers can still be smelled in the light aromatherapy.

There is a screen in the middle, painted with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums. Behind the screen is a canopy bed with light pink bed curtains.

The person lying on the bed was the reincarnated demon king Yu Liyan. She was closing her eyes to rest.

Although he wanted to take the opportunity to get to know the girl, Gu Xia still did not choose to gamble.

He said softly: "Miss Li Yan, I'm sorry that I came late. I blame myself for not being able to protect you in time that day."

Yu Liyan: "I don't blame you. You don't have the ability to intervene in a battle at that level. It's better to say that thanks to you not coming, I retain the hope of making a comeback."

Gu Xia asked: "Miss Li Yan, do you want me to take you out of the city? How about going to Xianfu City, which is where my sect is based."

Yu Liyan: "I can't escape. This is the test given to me by Heaven. The longer I hide, the more violent it will be in the end. I have to defeat those Jiu Ming sect people head-on."

"Way of Heaven? Is this vixen's brain broken? Heaven regards all things as stupid dogs. It doesn't care about anyone. Could it be that it is specifically hostile to you, a reincarnated demon king?

And if you want to die, can you please stop dragging me with you? "

Gu Xia thought.

He said: "Miss Li Yan, please think twice, I'm afraid the strength of the two of us..."

Yu Liyan: "Of course not now. My broken body may not be an opponent of an enlightened warrior now.

I have already planned to kill those people as long as I can obtain the relics of my predecessor.

I just didn't expect them to arrive so quickly. "

Gu Xia: "Then what treasures are there in the senior's relics?"

"There are just dozens of fourth-grade talismans, and their power is much greater than the Taoist techniques that Yeyouhunxiu can use with all his strength.

Guaranteed to kill several people from the Jiu Ming Sect into powder! "Yu Liyan sneered.

"So, the rest depends entirely on you, Gu Xia!"

"Huh? On me?"

Yu Liyan: "Yes, I need you to find the remaining jade pieces as soon as possible to form a key to enter the tomb of my predecessor."

Gu Xia: "As ordered, I will go now. Miss Li Yan, you can rest here to recuperate."

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you this time. It's not advisable to stay in Dajiang City for a long time."

Speaking of which, Yu Liyan was a little depressed. The hexagram told her that she had to stay in the city to have a chance of survival.

As a result, the girl waited for Xia Houling and others, and ended up like this.

Now that Yu Liyan's strength is gone, she can no longer make predictions. She can only rely on intuition.

And her intuition told the girl that Heaven would not let her go. If she continued to stay in the city lord's mansion, another "accident" would probably happen.

Moreover, Xia Houling and the others almost live next door. Once they are exposed, they will really be doomed.

So Yu Liyan planned to escape from Dajiang City after reuniting with Gu Xia.

Girl: "Master Dugu has made arrangements for us. We will leave the city early tomorrow morning."

Gu Xia nodded: "I understand."

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to act with Yu Liyan. If he was discovered, it would be confirmed that he was colluding with the witch.

…

The next day, morning.

In the meeting hall of the city lord's mansion.

Dugu Bo felt a little worried and asked: "Is that evil Mr. Xiahou really still in the city? I have ordered people to search the city twice in the past three days.

The sergeants were also ordered to search outside the city, but found nothing. "

Xia Houling nodded: "Xunyao Sinan is sure she is still nearby, there must be something missing.

Lord Dugu City, don’t panic, I have other methods. Last night, I sent Junior Brother Zhao to go out for surveying with the demon-seeking Sinan and the map.

Let him carefully find a way to locate the witch. "

Dugu Bo: "Xin Xun Dharma? What kind of profound Dharma is it?"

Xia Houling: "No. I just used the rules and guidelines and the effect of Monster Hunting Sinan to circle the approximate area where the monster is located on the map."

Dugu Bo was a little curious: "Master Xiahou, can you elaborate?"

Xia Houling: "The principle is very simple. When the monster is more than nine miles away from the monster-seeking Sinan, Si Nan will point out the approximate direction.

At this time, draw a circle with a radius of nine miles on the map with the location of Xunyao Sinan as the center. It shows that the witch may be hiding in this circle.

Let's change the place and continue to draw a circle. The enchantress may also hide a little bit on the circle.

The area where the two circles meet is most likely the location of the witch.

The more such circles there are, the more accurate the positioning will be. "

Dugu Bo: "I understand, this method is very clever. But why didn't Mr. Xiahou use this method a few days ago?"

"Because this method has a huge flaw, it can only be accurately positioned when the opponent is immobile.

If the opponent moves about half a mile, the heart-finding method may be inaccurate.

Three days of carpet search failed to find the witch, which means she should be hiding in a secret place and is unlikely to move a long distance.

That's why I asked Junior Brother Zhao to use the heart-finding method to locate the witch. "

Xiahou Ling looked helpless. The heart-finding method seemed perfect, but it was actually very unreliable.

Not only the movement of the target, but also the accuracy of the map and the ups and downs of the terrain will affect the positioning accuracy.

He had no choice but to try it.

Soon.

The housekeeper reported that Zhao Wenwu, who had been running around Dajiang City all night, was back.

After a while, the man walked into the hall.

Xiahou Ling: "Junior Brother Zhao, you have worked hard."

"It's not hard. I couldn't help with the encirclement and suppression of the witch a few days ago. Leave it to me to draw on the map."

Zhao Wenwu took out a scroll from the storage bag on his waist while speaking: "Brother, look at this. "

When the scroll was opened, it turned out to be a map of Dajiang City and the surrounding mountains and forests.

There were dozens of densely drawn circles around Dajiang City.

Each circle intersected at one place.

"What! Why is it here!"

When everyone saw it, their expressions changed at the same time.

Dugu Bo slapped his head and shouted, "Oh no! How could I forget to search here too! Come quickly! Protect the young master and the lady!"

The housekeeper replied, "Yes! But the third young master went out of the city for an outing this morning."

On the map, the intersection of those circles was exactly the area of ​​the city lord's mansion where everyone was, and it was also the only place that the soldiers had not searched in three days.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place! This witch is cunning enough." Xiahou Ling couldn't help but sigh.

And at this moment, Zhao Wenwu suddenly exclaimed, "Brother, it's bad! She escaped! "

He held the demon-hunting Si Nan in his hand, and the magnetic spoon on the tray slowly rotated, swaying and roughly pointing in the direction of the mountains outside the city.

"It seems that we are a step late, bring all the weapons, and let's chase! Demon girl, don't even think about escaping!" Xiahou Ling's calm tone revealed a bit of displeasure.
