_Chapter 309: Bait
Xiao Yan saw the frightened expressions of the three of them, and seemed to hear his guess, they were all frightened, and this has not yet met the murderer, so scared, no wonder those disciples of the Earth Spirit Sect look down on everyone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
And I don't want to take risks, I want to get benefits, there are such good things in this world, and you have to be careful when cooperating with these people, I'm afraid that if you really encounter a powerful murderer, they will probably run away.
"Hehe, it's not going to be sent to death, and there are four of us, it's more than enough to deal with a monk in the late stage of foundation building, or a sixth-order spirit beast, but if we encounter a demon beast, or an earth ghost, or a group of powerful ghosts, then we have only one way to die." Xiao Yan said with a smile again.
"Ah, then what do you think you should do, do you want to give up this opportunity to become the guard of Xingyuan City?"
"As long as we don't act at night, we won't encounter ghosts, and if we act during the day, if we encounter demon beasts, we can go to the sky and enter the ground, and we don't have to be afraid. ”
"Yes, when we meet the monks in the late stage of foundation building, the four of us can join forces and be able to kill the murderer. ”
The four of them discussed again, and finally decided to continue the investigation, and after a long time, they came to the place where the first monk had disappeared.
The four of them checked it and found that there were not many traces of a fight around, but there were some signs of pursuit, presumably because the murderer was too strong, so there was no sign of a fight.
Then a number of footprints were found, which seemed to belong to different monks, and one of them was very large, and seemed to be very heavy, and they were all half an inch deep on the ground, but it was a pity that no one could figure out who had such a heavy body.
So the four of them also discussed, and then went to the second place, and after arriving at the second place, they checked again, and still found the footprints of two people, and they were quite similar to the previous ones.
In the end, I went to other places, and they all had the same result, which couldn't help but make everyone wonder, it turned out that this was a gang crime, although there were only two people in this gang, but it was clearly aimed at the lone monk.
When night came, the four of them gathered around the fire to talk about the information left behind at the scene and how to pursue the two murderers tomorrow.
"Fellow Daoists, now it seems that these two murderers are habitual criminals who have committed crimes many times, and there are two of them every time, which means that the strength of the other party should not be very strong. Xiao Yan smiled and preached to everyone.
"Yes, if that's the case, then we can catch the murderer. ”
"But now that the spiritual power breath can't be pursued, and there is no clue, how can I find the murderer?"
"That's right, we can't even see the murderer, how can we arrest the murderer!"
Xiao Yan heard everyone's words, and shook his head, he couldn't do anything about tracking down the murderer, if there was a tracking mouse that was taken away by Ni Xiaoxiao, or a sable with Huang Xinhui, then it would be easy to find these two murderers.
"Well, with the shoe prints of the two people, it is indeed difficult to find them, and there are thousands of monks who come and go to Xingyuan City, and it is impossible to compare them one by one, and these two murderers may not necessarily enter Xingyuan City. Xiao Yan spoke again.
"In this case, our hope of pursuing the murderer will be gone. ”
"yes, it's infuriating that after a day of investigation, it still hasn't yielded any results. ”
"That's right, even if we send the footprints and shoe prints of these two people to the guards of Xingyuan City, it is estimated that we will only get some reprimands, and we will even be doubted by the guards about our ability. ”
"Hey!" Xiao Yan also sighed, this is very difficult, now I want to contribute to the cultivation of immortals, but it is in vain, it is indeed a little discouraged.
"So what now?"
"We can't pursue it, we can only go back, and even if it goes on like this, it's not a way. ”
"That's it!"
"Hehe, fellow Daoists, the ghost has a plan, but it is very dangerous, I don't know if you want to hear it?" Xiao Yan showed a strange smile on his face, and preached to the three of them.
"Is there a way for Brother Ghost Dao?"
"Then let's talk about it. ”
"Here's the way, although we can't take the initiative to find these two murderers, we can trick them to take the initiative to find us, this is probably the only way. Xiao Yan explained.
"How?"
"Then you need a lone monk, it must be a foundation building period cultivator, and then keep walking around, let them find out, chase this lone monk, so that they can be lured out. Xiao Yan said the plan again.
"Ah, isn't this monk who is used as bait very dangerous?"
"Hehe, it's really dangerous, but this wealth is dangerous, and if you want to catch the murderer, you must be willing to take risks. Xiao Yan continued to explain.
Suddenly, the other three looked at each other, and felt that what Xiao Yan said was indeed reasonable, but who was willing to be this bait.
"Brother Ghost Dao, but who wants to be this bait?" the three of them all looked at Xiao Yan and asked.
"Hehe, the ghost doesn't know anymore, and he needs a strong person to protect himself. Xiao Yan spoke again.
"But even if someone is willing to come out, how can anyone else protect that person?"
"Well, what do you think?" Xiao Yan didn't answer, but asked.
"It's very difficult, it's too close, it's estimated that the two murderers can't be lured, it's too far away, there's no way to protect your companions, it's really very difficult. ”
"yes, what if the murderer is really drawn?"
"Yes, if you kill it soon, it's not very unjust!"
Xiao Yan heard the tone of the three of them, no one wanted to be this bait, but they refused to give up the opportunity to be the guard of Xingyuan City, which was very contradictory, and these three people were all greedy for life and afraid of death, so they really couldn't get on the stage.
"Well, folks, if not, take turns to be the bait. Xiao Yan suggested again.
"Brother Ghost Dao, how do you say this?" the three of them looked at each other for a moment and asked.
"Let's choose one person to be the bait first, and the other three will follow behind to protect, one day each, if the murderer doesn't show up after four days, then we'll give up, what do you think?" Xiao Yan said.
"Okay, that's a good offer. ”
"And who is the first?"
"Or draw lots. ”
"What kind of lot, this is a three-year-old child's business, the ghost is the first to come, you arrange it yourself. Xiao Yan immediately preached to everyone.
"Okay, Brother Ghost Dao is really refreshing, then I'm second. ”
"Well, I'm the third. ”
"Hehe, I don't have a choice, I can only be at the bottom. ”
Immediately, the other three immediately gave him a blank look, isn't this cheap, and he is still good!
After it was confirmed, early the next morning, Xiao Yan released the Wind Sword, which flew non-stop within a hundred miles of the surroundings, and enjoyed the surrounding scenery all the way.
The other three monks also followed behind Xiao Yan, about five miles apart, and their divine sense was relatively weak, so they couldn't detect Xiao Yan at all, so they could only get close to the top of the woods, fly covertly, and watch from a distance.
Xiao Yan looked idle, flying non-stop, although he knew that there were three people following behind, but the strength of his soul power could not detect the three of them.
And today's soul power strength is equivalent to the strength of the primordial spirit of a monk in the late stage of foundation building, and it can probably detect a distance of more than seven hundred zhang, so there is still a gap between the distance from the range of five miles.
But he couldn't find out the three of them, but he didn't care much, anyway, the strength of the three was not very strong, as long as he didn't run away after encountering the murderer, he didn't expect the three of them to help much.
He came up with such a rotten method by himself, and he also hoped that he would not be cocooned and let himself fall into danger, so he kept releasing his soul power and probing the surroundings.
After a long time, there was still no abnormality around, and after the noon, Xiao Yan did not continue to fly, but stayed on a small hillside to rest and recover his spiritual power.
Just as Xiao Yan was recovering his spiritual power, he suddenly noticed that three monks in the distance were coming towards him, but they didn't look like his three companions, which was a little strange.
After a few breaths, Xiao Yan found four more monks, coming from another direction, driving the flying sword, the speed was very fast, and the characteristics of these four people were somewhat familiar, and they seemed to be the four disciples of the Earth Spirit Sect.
After a few more breaths, Xiao Yan found a monk again, controlling a strange magic weapon, as if it was a mace-type magic weapon, and it was also coming towards his side.
Xiao Yan had a calm smile on his face, and muttered: "Hehe, if you don't come, no one will come, if you come, there will be so many people, this is really lively, but it is estimated that there should be no murderer, after all, every time the murderer commits murder, there are two people." ”
Xiao Yan closed his eyes slightly, he didn't care at all, and after a while, everyone came to Xiao Yan's surroundings, and the most surprised at this time was not Xiao Yan, but these three groups, they each looked at each other, but no one spoke, just looked coldly.
Suddenly, the three companions who followed Xiao Yan also followed him, and saw four disciples of the Earth Spirit Sect, three yellow-robed monks with hats, and a big-headed monk in black clothes.
Immediately, Xiao Yan opened his eyes, stopped meditating, and after standing up, he smiled at everyone and said, "Hey, it seems that there are a lot of people coming today, by the way, the four Daoists of the Earth Spirit Sect, why did you come to our side if you didn't go to the other side to inspect." ”
"Ghost friends, that's how we tracked it down. One of the eight-eyebrow Earth Spirit Sect disciples replied.
