Chapter 277 My Child Is Missing
Bai Yu and his group followed the Jinglong Cauldron and shot toward the northeast.
Just after flying not far away, the coiling dragon due south on the Shocking Dragon Cauldron began to glow red again.
Everyone can only change direction.
However, in the following time, the direction indicated on the tripod was sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west, and sometimes in both the southeast and northwest.
Everyone was running around like headless flies.
Nan Fubo was helpless and said:
"Either there is more than one murderer, or they have a special way of isolating the atmosphere and leading us around."
"The Shocking Dragon Cauldron alone cannot lock the enemy's direction."
Bai Yu suggested:
"In this case, why don't the four of us each take two Qi Refining Iron Guards and search separately."
This time, in addition to the four foundation-building monks, there were eight Qi Refining Iron Guards who were responsible for handling errands and other chores.
Nan Fubo thought for a while and said:
"That's all it can do."
Taoist Yin of Yuanfu Temple took out four talismans and said:
"We are good at refining talismans. These four tuplets are a set. Any one of them can listen to the information of the other three."
"Pindao recommends that everyone bring one with them and contact them immediately if anything happens."
Naturally, no one will object.
Bai Yu took the tuplet and inspected it briefly, and found that this talisman was much more subtle than the ordinary talisman.
Some of the runes are so intricately conceived that they are truly unheard of.
It seems that Yuanfu Guan's talisman technique has its merits.
He put away his tuplets, ordered two Qi Refining Iron Guards, and explored all the way to the east.
Bai Yu released his consciousness and gradually explored the surroundings.
His current consciousness can only cover a distance of fifty feet at most.
No matter how far it is, it won't be fully covered.
As he walked, he didn't notice anything unusual. There were ordinary people coming and going all around.
The occasional stronger ones were just warriors, not even a single monk was found.
The warriors from the Songming Kingdom were quite different from those from the Dali Kingdom.
In addition to Qi and blood, there seems to be another kind of energy in their bodies.
Of course, now is not the time to probe this.
Bai Yu successively used the Feng Shui Eye, the Wind Ear and even the Psychic Nose.
Unfortunately, there is still no gain.
In particular, the effectiveness of the Ear of Listening to the Wind is greatly reduced in downtown areas. People's voices are noisy and mixed together, making it difficult to detect accurately.
In this way, until late at night, everyone met again at the Yamen of the state capital.
Unfortunately, all four of them found nothing.
Nanfubo Road:
"Let's all rest today. We will notify the state pastor tomorrow to mobilize police officers and soldiers in the city to search from house to house."
Zen Master Fa'an chanted the Buddha's name:
"Amitabha, tomorrow is the 15th night. Usually the murderer will commit murder on the 15th night."
"We have to find the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise someone else will be murdered."
Taoist Yin heard this and said:
"With the four of us searching today, the murderer probably won't dare to attack again in the near future."
Everyone discussed for a while and then went back to their rooms.
Bai Yu took advantage of the silence of the night and unfolded his ears to listen to the wind, trying to find something.
In the next bedroom, Zen Master Fa'an was chanting sutras in a low voice, and Taoist Master Yin was already snoring in his room.
And Nan Fubo is giving orders:
"Jia Qi, Jia Ba, you secretly guard the east city gate and report immediately if there is any movement on the magic-seeking talisman."
"Bing 4, C 5, in charge of the south city gate, Ding San..."
Bai Yu smiled faintly.
It seems that Nan Fubo is as bold, careful, smart and capable as his master.
With teammates like this, he feels more at ease.
Bai Yu investigated and felt tired.
He kept his spiritual consciousness out during the day, which consumed a lot of his spiritual consciousness, as if he had been rewarded ten times in a row.
"No, we have to get back to our best condition as soon as possible so we can search for the murderer tomorrow."
He successively set up several large formations in the room, and then released Lao Mo to keep watch.
Then he fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, he was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
"Oops, something happened again!"
Bai Yu's complexion changed slightly and he stood up hurriedly.
In the hall, a middle-aged head catcher bowed his hands to everyone and saluted:
"You immortal masters, please arrest Hu Yidao, the leader of Xiaxizhou."
"Last night, another pregnant woman was killed in Tongzi Hutong in the east of the city."
Bai Yu's heart sank.
According to usual experience, the murderer would have to wait until tonight to take action.
Unexpectedly, this time, he actually took action in advance.
Nan Fubo and others' faces were as dark as water.
The four of them were searching around during the day, and the murderer took action at night.
This was simply audacious and a naked provocation to the four people.
Nan Fubo said in a deep voice:
"Captain Hu, take us to the scene to have a look."
Soon, everyone came to Tongzi Alley, and heart-wrenching crying came from a courtyard.
When they arrived at the scene, they saw a thin little woman lying upside down in a bedroom.
Her eyes were wide-eyed and there was a big hole in her stomach.
The baby inside seemed to have been dug out, and even half of the umbilical cord was severed inside.
In one of her hands, she was holding a small shoe.
There was also a finished shoe dropped next to it, with a little tiger with a tiger head embroidered on it.
In the yard, the deceased's father held back his grief and answered everyone's questions.
"Last night... I got up to relieve myself, and Nier lit the lamp and made little shoes for my grandson."
"I heard a knock on the door outside, and someone asked, 'My child is missing, did you see it?'"
"I thought it was a neighbor, so I wanted to help look for her tomorrow, but when I turned around, Ni'er was killed."
"Captain Hu, Master, you must avenge Ni'er."
Nan Fubo's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
He once again offered the Jinglong Ding, trying to search for the murderer.
But this time, the Jinglong Ding simply did not respond.
Bai Yu secretly used the Feng Shui Eye and captured a faint bloody aura at the scene.
This bloody aura was cold and evil, and the chill penetrated the bones.
He took away the bloody aura while checking the scene, and at the same time, he firmly remembered this aura in his mind.
But relying on this aura alone to find the murderer is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Bai Yu sighed and played a long suona.
Yin Daoren and Master Fa'an, one recited the "Jieyuan Ba Gui Jing" and the other recited the "Wangsheng Mantra".
[Funeral of Zhao Xiaoni, reward: Qi +3, Life Experience +4.]
[Funeral participation 5%. ]
The deceased is just an ordinary person, there is no optional reward, and the basic reward is not high.
But the most important thing is that Bai Yu can view her memory fragments.
Zhao Xiaoni's life is very ordinary.
She was born ordinary, grew up ordinary, and then married her childhood friend, the peddler Liu Erniu.
Although life is hard, with the help of both parents, it is still okay.
Half a year ago, Zhao Xiaoni was pregnant, and Liu Erniu decided to go on a long journey to save some money for the unborn child.
Later, Liu Erniu sent a sum of money back.
He also asked someone to bring a message that he made money and could come back when the child was born.
Zhao Xiaoni was full of expectations and made a full set of small clothes and shoes for the child by hand.
The child is about to be born, the husband makes money, and the family is about to reunite. The life is ordinary but happy.
Until last night, a white shadow floated into the house.
Its long hair hung down, its face could not be seen clearly, and there was a big hole in its belly, bleeding profusely.
"My child is missing, give my child back to me."
Then, it pounced on him.
This was the last memory of Zhao Xiaoni before her death.
On the side, Nan Fubo quietly waited for everyone to finish reading the scriptures.
He said in a deep voice:
"Let's go and meet someone, he must have clues."
