I Have Five Senior Brothers

"How could you not have searched for them? When this incident first happened, I ordered people to search the city, but found nothing. Not only that, more and more people are missing in the city. I am worried about this matter." Lou. The city lord looked really sad, with a very sad expression.

"Do those missing people have any characteristics? Or are they random?" Since City Master Lou was willing to answer this question, Si Lin immediately took the opportunity to ask more questions.

"There are no special characteristics. There are men, women, old and young. There is no specific target!" City Master Lou thought for a while and replied.

Si Lin frowned, "Apart from this, are there any other clues? For example, are there any strange people appearing in the city recently, or other strange things?"

"If we talk about strange people, there aren't any, but there is one strange thing." City Lord Lou thought for a while and said.

"What's the matter?" Gu Qingqing asked quickly.

"Half a month ago, a place five miles away from the west city gate suddenly collapsed, revealing a broken stone tablet and a black statue of unknown material. Because I didn't know its origin, I had the place surrounded. Get up, the stone tablets and statues were brought back, but formations were set up around them." City Lord Lou suddenly became a little confused, "Since then, people have disappeared in the city. Is it because of the statues and stone tablets? reason?"

Si Lin and Gu Qingqing looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"I wonder if we can take a look at the statue and stone tablet?" Si Lin suggested to City Lord Lou.

"Of course, I will take you there." City Lord Lou was wondering if the accidents in Wuyun City were caused by the stone tablets and statues. Hearing Si Lin's words, he immediately agreed.

The two followed the city lord, twisting and turning, and arrived at a separate room. The city lord opened the door in front of him.

"It's right here. No one recognizes the words on the stone tablet. The statue is also weird and looks very weird, so I threw it here. I also specially set up a formation." City Lord Lou walked in and said to Gu Qingqing and Si Lin explained.

This room is an empty room with a lot of dust inside. In the open space in the center of the room is a stone tablet with a corner missing, and next to it is a black stone statue half a person tall.

Gu Qingqing and Si Lin walked in front of the stone tablet and statue. City Master Lou removed the formation, allowing the two to observe the stone tablet and statue up close. There were indeed words on the stone tablet as City Master Lou said, but those words It was not a font commonly used in the sub-immortal world. Si Lin took a look and found that he didn't recognize it at all. He frowned and looked away to observe the statue.

Gu Qingqing's eyes stayed on the stone tablet for a while, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, she glanced at City Lord Lou, and then turned her gaze to the statue.

The material of the statue was not recognized by Gu Qingqing's eyesight, and its appearance was very strange. It looked like a monster. It looked a bit like a lion, but it was not a lion. Its tail was like a snake's tail. There are also scales, and the nails on the claws are very sharp.

Gu Qingqing asked herself that she had memorized the "Ten Thousand Beasts Book" that Wen Guiyun had given her, but she didn't recognize what kind of monster it was.

She and Si Lin looked at each other, both a little surprised.

"The stone tablets and statues don't look very special, and there's no aura on them. It's probably not because of them." Gu Qing looked at City Lord Lou and said with some uncertainty.

"Apart from this stone tablet and the statue, nothing special has happened in the city recently." Hearing this, City Lord Lou's expression became sad again.

"It seems that this matter still needs to be investigated carefully. Don't worry, City Master Lou. Now that we have met, we will help you investigate this matter." Si Lin looked away from the statue and promised City Lord Lou.

City Master Lou immediately became happy, "That's great. With Mr. Si here, this matter will definitely be solved!" He seemed very confident in Si Lin.

"Since there are no clues here in the City Lord's Mansion, my junior sister and I will leave and look elsewhere first. Thank you City Lord Lou for your help." Si Lin did not react to City Lord Lou's flattery, but said goodbye.

"Young Master Si, you're welcome. If you can use me in any way, just ask, Young Master Si, and I'll send you two out." With a smile on his face, City Master Lou also made his promise.

"Please." Si Lin gestured, asking Lord Lou to go first.

City Lord Lou restarted the formation, then led Gu Qingqing and Si Lin out until they were delivered to the door. After a few more pleasantries, Si Lin and Gu Qingqing left the City Lord's Mansion.

After walking a few hundred steps, Gu Qingqing looked back at the City Lord's Mansion, frowned, and turned to look at Si Lin.

"Elder brother, what do you think of this city lord?" In order to prevent others from hearing her, she used sound transmission. She could only see her mouth moving, but could not hear the sound.

"The atmosphere in the City Lord's Mansion is very wrong, and this City Lord Lou is not right either. It feels very strange to me." Si Lin answered Gu Qingqing's question knowingly and through voice transmission.

"The guards at the door and the servants of the City Lord's Mansion all have death energy on their bodies, but there is no death energy on City Lord Lou!" Gu Qingqing told what he had discovered.

"Yeah, so City Lord Lou is weird." Si Lin also noticed it, and he felt the same as Gu Qing Qing.

"That stone tablet is also very strange. I know the characters on the stone tablet!" Gu Qingqing hesitated and said to Si Lin.

"You know him? How come?" Si Lin turned around and asked in surprise.

The words on the stele are not the common characters in the sub-immortal world, nor the characters in the records. Si Lin couldn't recognize them, but Gu Qingqing did not expect to recognize them!

"I don't know. It seems to be in my memory. Those words introduce that statue. That statue is engraved with a kind of monster from the demon world, called the soul-eating beast. It is usually above the level of the demon general. The pet beast itself is not particularly powerful, but it will knock on your door in the middle of the night. If you open the door, you will be knocked unconscious by it, and then it will swallow your soul!" Gu Qingqing couldn't explain why. Know those words, anyway, when she saw those words, their meanings appeared in her mind.

Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Si Lin's eyes, "The material of that statue does not belong to the sub-immortal world. It is a rare mineral, purple magic ore, unique to the demon world. It can emit demonic energy, and at the same time, it is useful for people with unstable minds. The role of seduction.”

Si Lin also accidentally saw that kind of material before he wrote it down. He didn't expect to see it again in Wuyun City!

"So there is indeed a demon here, and it is also an elder-level demon. There may be a soul-eating beast on the other side!" Gu Qingqing concluded, with a somewhat unsightly look on his face.

"Yeah." Si Lin nodded, affirming Gu Qingqing's conclusion, "We still don't know where the demons are, so we should be more careful."

He glanced at the street next to him, frowning thoughtfully.

Gu nodded lightly, also lost in thought, neither of them spoke.

…

After Yue Zhao left the inn with Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu, they wandered on the street for a while. Just when Yun Ran wanted to ask Yue Zhao where they were going to find out the news, he saw Yue Zhao walking towards a place selling Cui Ling. In front of Guo's grandmother, he had a proper smile on his face and started talking to the old lady.

At first, Yue Zhao was still chatting with the old lady about Cuiling Fruit, and even bought two kilograms of Cuiling Fruit. When the old lady was very happy, she suddenly changed her attitude and asked about other things.

"Old man, I came from another city. I heard that some strange things have happened in Wuyun City recently. I am very curious. I wonder if you can tell me about it?" Yue Zhao gives the impression that he is a noble master. That kind of, now chatting with the old grandma in an approachable manner, it is easy to make people feel good.

The old woman looked around and suddenly spoke mysteriously, "Half a month ago, a pit suddenly appeared in a place outside the west gate. A broken monument and a statue appeared in it. The city lord asked people to take them to the city lord's mansion. After that, some strange things happened in the city, many people disappeared, and they couldn't be found!"

A strange color flashed in Yue Zhao's eyes, and a surprised expression appeared on his face, "Is there such a thing? It seems that Wuyun City is very dangerous."

"Young master, you should leave here quickly. Don't stay here for a long time, otherwise something will happen easily!" The old lady seemed to really like Yue Zhao and reminded Yue Zhao in a low voice.

"Thank you, old man. I will consider it." Yue Zhao stuffed another low-grade spiritual stone into the old lady's hand, stood up, and returned to Yunran and Zhuo Tingqiu.

Yunran and Zhuo Tingqiu were both shocked by Yue Zhao's behavior. They really didn't expect that Yue Zhao would do such a thing of seeking information, and he also used such a down-to-earth method, which simply broke their trust in Yue Zhao. cognition!

Yue Zhao knew what they were thinking as soon as he saw their expressions. He smiled, but had no intention of explaining. Instead, he gestured to them to follow.

Next, Yunran and Zhuo Tingqiu watched Yue Zhao, with his jade-like face, inquiring about information from various people. Everyone who he inquired about information had a very happy chat with him and had a good impression of him. They all advised him to leave Wuyun City as soon as possible.

Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu were surprised at first, but they became numb in the end, only looking at Yue Zhao with eyes full of admiration!

Yue Zhao not only has a noble status, but also has advanced cultivation, but he is able to do this. The two of them were highly sought after in Xuantian Continent before and could not do such a thing at all. This is the difference between them and Yue Zhao.

Half an hour later, the three sat down in a teahouse.

"From what those people just said, we can conclude that half a month ago, a pit suddenly appeared outside the west gate, and then a monument and a statue appeared inside. After that, people disappeared in the city, so The disappearance of someone is very likely related to those two things." Yue Zhao took a sip of tea and found that the taste was average. He put the cup down and said to Yunran and Zhuo Tingqiu leisurely.

"So, shall we go to the City Lord's Mansion to see those two things now?" Yun Ran asked curiously.

Yue Zhao shook his head, "No need to go."

"Why?" Zhuo Tingqiu shook his head in confusion. Since they all knew that the whole thing was probably related to those two things, why didn't they go to the City Lord's Mansion to have a look?

"If my guess is right, Senior Brother and Qingqing have already been there." Yue Zhao glanced at the two of them and explained.

Hearing this, Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu were stunned for a moment, thought about it, and thought it was very possible.

"Then what shall we do next?" Zhuo Tingqiu also took a sip of tea, frowned, put down his cup and asked Yuezhao.

"Let's find out more information. We still don't know the identities of those missing people." Yue Zhao glanced around and said softly.

Yunran and Zhuo Tingqiu looked at each other and nodded.

…

Jun Wu and Nan Hua were in a group. After the two of them left the inn, they also found a few people to inquire about the news. With a lot of money, someone soon told the news about the stone tablet and the statue, but the two of them did not go to the city lord's mansion to look for those two things. thing, but went outside the city.

According to what those people said, the two of them left the west gate of Wuyun City and came to the place where the stone tablets and statues were found. The big pit there was still there. The two of them felt it next to the big pit. After half a month, here They could no longer feel anything, and the two did not leave immediately. Nanhua directly released his spiritual consciousness and explored the surrounding area. Except for some small animals, he found nothing!

"It seems that the focus is still on those two things. There is nothing here." Nanhua said with a frown.

"Are we going to the City Lord's Mansion?" Jun Wu asked.

"No, senior brother will definitely go to the City Lord's Mansion. We can just go back and wait for the news." Nanhua knew Si Lin very well and knew that with his style, he would definitely go to the City Lord's Mansion to find out the news as soon as possible, so he did not choose to go to the City Lord's Mansion just now. Mansion, but ran outside the city.

"Then let's go back." Jun Wu said directly, thinking that he could meet Gu Qingqing quickly.

Nanhua glanced at him and nodded.

The two left directly. A while after the two left, a black shadow appeared from the pit, wandered around for a while, and then got back into the pit.

…

As soon as noon passed, Jun Wu and Nan Hua returned to the inn. After a while, Yue Zhao came back with Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu.

"How's it going? Do you have any clues there?" Yue Zhao asked when he saw Jun Wu and Nan Hua sitting on chairs.

"You should all know that two things were dug out of a big pit outside the city?" Nan Hua looked at Yue Zhao, who nodded and continued, "Jun Wu and I went outside the city and found nothing. "

"I asked some people. Apart from the pit outside the city, the missing people have nothing in common. It's as if they were randomly selected." After hearing what Nan Hua said, Yue Zhao was not surprised; Received the news from his own investigation.

"Then who did this?" Nan Hua frowned, feeling a little troubled.

I just took a look. I forgot about Zhuo Tingqiu when we were grouping yesterday. I have already made up for it!
