After the Fairy Disappeared

   "Has the rope bell ever rung?"

   "Yes." The guard recalled, "Just when Uncle Wu called me over, the rope bells outside the courtyard and inside the house were ringing, and it took a while to stop. Uncle Wu said that something is looking for Mr. Cheng."

"what?"

   "Uncle Wu didn't say anything." The guard said again, "The red lantern in that bottle has been on all the time. Until today, the last time I saw it, it hasn't, hasn't been extinguished."

  Fu Shanyue immediately said: "Three talents hanging bell array? Cheng Yu's enemy can't see it, it should be some kind of evil spirit."

   This formation is used to detect the whereabouts of the enemy.

   "Look at that bottle."

  Fu Shanyue gave instructions to Lu Dutong, who immediately ran out.

  He didn't dare to keep the two bosses waiting for a long time, and took back a wooden box in about a quarter of an hour.

  Open it, and inside is the transparent bottle, but the body of the bottle is full of cracks, and it is broken at first glance.

   "That's how they found the bottle." Lu Dutong emphasized.

  Bai Ziqi looked at the bottle carefully, and even lit the platinum candle again, pinched off the lamp spirit, and threw it in.

  The lamp spirit, which was showing off its prestige by the lake, went out without saying a word after entering the bottle.

  The remaining smoke curled up and floated out of the bottle, as if guided by an invisible force.

   With a soft "boo", the bottle shattered into countless glass slags, covering the table.

  Originally placed in a bottle, when the small house comes into contact with the outside world, it quickly disappears into the air like fine sand blown away by the wind.

  Only the residue of the bottle remained on the table.

  Bai Ziqi sighed softly: "It's a pity, it's broken like this."

  Fu Shan became more curious: "What is this?"

"This place is self-contained, and it instinctively resists the addition of the spirit of the lamp." Bai Ziqi put away the candle, "The spirit of the lamp in this form is the most warm and harmless, except for the place of nothingness and evil spirits, it should not be rejected. "

  He Lingchuan has seen the violent side of the lamp spirit, but it seems that most of the time it is gentle.

   This is also in line with its positioning in the Star Picking Building.

   "Based on what Xue San said, Cheng Yu has been in a coma all the time, the bottle cork can only be pulled out when the lights are dark, and the rope bell rang once, this bottle is probably a..." Bai Ziqi thought carefully, "Dreamland?"

  Fu Shanyue wondered: "I heard that dreams are formed spontaneously, how could anyone create them artificially?"

  There are more creatures gathered together, day and night dreaming, and dreamland is formed.

"Dreamlands have different shapes, some are big and small, some are growing, and some are dying." Bai Ziqi explained, "Some villages were originally prosperous, and the dreamlands are also prosperous. The less and less people come, the dreamland will weaken. When there are only three or five living people left in the village, this dreamland will no longer exist.”

He pointed to the glazed **** in front of him: "This should be a dreamland in decline. Cheng Yu used a special method to seal it up so that other things could not get in. When a crisis comes, his soul can hide in it by itself." to avoid disaster."

  It was also the first time for He Lingchuan to see this kind of Dreamland in a Bottle, but combined with the past words of the strange head Nightmare, he also felt that what Bai Ziqi said was very reasonable.

  The knowledge about dreamland is very partial. Du Yunshi knows more than ordinary people.

  Bai Ziqi said slowly: "The dreamland bottle is not easy to get. What I am curious about is, why did Cheng Yu prepare such an unusual thing in advance? Does he think that he may encounter a soul attack?"

  He Lingchuan's heartbeat accelerated two beats.

   is near, his guess is near.

  Cheng Yu must be cautious when dealing with the Hundred Faces Nightmare. He is well aware of the monster's power, and although the two parties have made a contract, he still prepares a refuge for himself.

  After all, if a monster that could overthrow a country's king suddenly turned his face, Cheng Yu would not be able to handle it.

  The guard added: "The first night I took over, Mr. Cheng had blood on his chest, probably sprayed by himself, and his face was ugly like a dead man."

  Bai Ziqi asked for the exact date again.

  The guard told the truth.

  He Lingchuan knew immediately that something was wrong.

   Sure enough, Bai Ziqi's eyes fell on him in the next second:

   "Cheng Yu was injured, Wu Kai used Xueli Dongtian to bring him back to the Cen Mansion. He Xiao—"

  He looked at He Lingchuan with a gentle voice:

"That night, Cheng Yu plotted against you, so he fled to Cen's mansion first, and later used Dreamland in a Bottle. The strangest thing is that the rope bell rang, and there was something chasing after him, trying to take his life! Do you have any inside statement? ?”

  He Lingchuan heard that he was hiding a knife in the cotton, but still looked blank: "What are you stating?"

   "The thing that chased Cheng Yu that night was invisible but existed. What is it?"

   "How do I know?" He Lingchuan said inexplicably, "I'm not good at these ways of gods and ghosts. Besides, does what happened with the surname Cheng have anything to do with Cen Bo's clearing the case? Apart from being hired by him to plot against me."

   "Yes." Fu Shanyue also opened his mouth, "This person missed, why is my special envoy being interrogated instead?"

  His voice raised his voice.

  In Lingxu City, he could never talk to Du Yunshi like this; but here is Baishahao, and he still has the advantage of being a landlord.

  The strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake. Bai Ziqi's temper is surprisingly good, so it's not surprising: "Cen Boqing always took Cheng Yu with him when he fled, which shows how much he is attached to him. How could such a suspect be an idler?"

"Cheng Yu fled desperately before he was arrested, but he didn't use a strong spell, which is inconsistent with his cultivation." He continued, "It can be seen that even if he used the dreamland, the serious injury suffered by his soul more than ten days ago has not yet recovered. Recovery. He Xiao, did you send the thing chasing him?"

He Lingchuan smiled wryly: "That thing can even force a great curse master to hide in sleep and seal himself up. With this alone, can he be ranked in the whole country of Bega? If it can still listen to my command, Cheng Yu must know my name."

  There is a specialization in art, and the work of a curse master is just impossible for others, even Bai Ziqi.

  The only ones who can push the Great Curse Master to this level in the professional field are probably his peers.

   It is indeed as He Lingchuan said, how can someone with such ability be unknown? Even if no one else heard of it, how could Cheng Yu not know about it?

   There are so-called sweeping monks, but they are rare. In addition to the various second and third generations of X, the status and reputation of most people in this world must eventually match their abilities.

  The spell is so powerful, how likely is it that it was borrowed from an unknown person?

  Of course He Lingchuan also knew that this kind of answer would definitely not satisfy Bai Ziqi, so he added: "But I do remember one detail."

  Bai Ziqi's attention was immediately attracted: "Please speak."

"I chased to the inn, and the trap set by Cheng Yu was activated, and the purple evil fire swallowed up the entire inn." He Lingchuan frowned, "But I remember, there was a square table in the middle of his room, and there was a wooden carving on the table that looked very ferocious. , incense was still offered in front of me. As soon as I touched the wood carving, it fell into several pieces."

   "I'm guessing, purely guessing, if the wooden carving is the ghostly golden body invited by Cheng Yu, but he set it on fire, he must be very resentful."

   "That's why I went back to seek revenge on him!" Fu Shanyue snapped his fingers, "The thing that can deal with Cheng Yu in the end is something he invited himself. This inference is very reasonable."

  He Lingchuan continued: "Cheng Yu knows exactly what it is and how powerful it is, so he will prepare for sleep in advance."

  Bai Ziqi asked him, "Did you bring out the wood carvings?"

   "I really want to, but Fan Lingtong is swaying behind me and swinging an axe. It's important to save my life, how can I have time to do this?"

  Bai Ziqi looked at the two quietly.

  He Lingchuan looked ahead, while Fu Shanyue simply looked at him.

   After a long time, Bai Ziqi said softly: "It's okay, anyway, Cheng Yu will wake up tomorrow, let's listen to what he has to say then."

  He Lingchuan and Fu Shanyue are cursing in their hearts, so you are in a hurry to interrogate this and that tonight, what about P?

  However, Fu Shanyue had to spread his hands on the surface, pretending to be indifferent.

  Bai Ziqi looked out the window: "It will be dawn in another day. It's been a toss for most of the night. Let's go back to wash and rest first. How about re-examining Wu Kai tomorrow afternoon?"

  Fu Shanyue yawned: "Very good!"

   Both sides went out, and parted ways at the gate of the county government office.

  …

  Bai Ziqi watched Fu Shanyue and He Lingchuan get on their mounts and trot away, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

  Fan Sheng came to the gate of the county yamen at this time, and said embarrassingly: "Bai Dushi, Mrs. Cen just now..."

  Bai Ziqi raised his hand and interrupted him:

"follow me."

  Fan Sheng followed him into the county government office again, and walked into Cheng Yu's cubicle.

  There are no windows in the house, and there are two guards standing at the door.

   "If my prediction is correct, he may encounter some accidents tonight." Bai Ziqi pointed to Cheng Yu and said, "From now on, you will guard him here until the interrogation tomorrow afternoon."

  Fan Sheng quickly answered "Yes", and said again: "Where did the accident come from, I will eliminate it!"

  Bai Ziqi smiled: "No need, let me try him."

  Fan Sheng is not a fool either, he quickly came to his senses: "Bai Dushi wants to use this person as bait for fishing?"

  Bai Ziqi nodded: "It's just a guess, let's verify it."

  Fan Sheng followed him in, and couldn't help but ask, "What if the accident doesn't come?"

   "Either, this person is innocent." Bai Ziqi smiled again, "Either, this person is actually more difficult to deal with."

  …

  Leaving the county office, He Lingchuan took a deep breath. This city, which was born next to the water, is full of moist water vapor in the evening wind in August.

  Today was so fulfilling that even a person as energetic as him felt exhausted.

   One pile after another burst out, overwhelming.

  Riding on the deserted street, he asked Fu Shanyue: "This Mrs. Cen, why is everyone afraid of her?"

  Da Sinong is indeed a high position and authority, and both small officials and ordinary people look up to him, and perhaps even the king of Chiyan respects him three points. But what is Bai Ziqi's identity? He is an envoy who serves the gods! Fan Sheng was able to command the army at the root of the imperial city, and he also won the trust of the demon emperor.

  Why do these two look helpless when facing Mrs. Cen?

Fu Shanyue scratched his neck: "Yao Xingning has outstanding talent since she was a child, practiced hard, joined the army very early, and her military achievements are much more abundant than her husband. She happens to be the sixtieth female general of my Beijia Kingdom, although she is a miscellaneous general. Of course That's not the point—"
