It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

Especially those people who had just come forward to confront Zhou An, now they were like quails, lowering their heads and not daring to say anything.

The member who first spoke to Zhou An had a look of shock on his face.

The man upstairs is the top leader in the entire Yunlai Mansion.

The dignified Lord Sifu actually came downstairs to pick her up. This was too shocking.

Zhou An didn't think anything of it. He put the long knife back into the pink purse, raised his feet and walked towards the stairs.

Following Zhou An's action, the members of the Zhenguisi who were blocking the way silently moved out of the way without saying a word.

Zhou An suddenly stopped and looked at the member who spoke to him first, with a mocking tone in his tone.

"Does your face hurt?"

The right side of the member's face was swollen because he had just been slapped by Zhou An.

This sentence is a double entendre.

He was asking if the place where he was slapped hurt, and he was referring to whether he was slapped in the face because of what he just said.

The members of the Suppression Division remained silent, but the other half of their faces turned red, obviously very embarrassed.

"Okay, boy Zhou, just come up here and don't talk about this anymore."

The bearded Si Fu yawned, as if he hadn't woken up, and walked directly upstairs.

Zhou An did not continue teasing, but followed along the stairs to the second floor.

There are a lot of things on the first floor, which makes it seem a bit crowded, but the second floor is different. There are fewer things here, so it is much more empty.

Si Fu walked forward and finally reached a secluded room, opened the door and walked in.

Zhou An also followed behind. When he walked in, he was attracted by the desk in front of him at first sight.

The desk is filled with books and files half as tall as a person.

Some books and files have been opened, and there are signs of being turned over. Obviously, before Zhou An came, the Sifu should have checked the files here.

Zhou An closed the door smoothly, turned around, and saw the bearded Sifu taking out items.

Those were two jars of wine, which were placed on the table by the Sifu.

"I never prepare tea here, only wine." Si Fu pointed to the wine jar on the table.

"sit down."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zheng Feng. Zhang Suiniu has already told me about your matter. I know it very well. I also know something about the inn."

Zhou An was not restrained. He sat in his seat, took a sip from the wine jar, and praised: "Good wine."

Although he doesn't drink often, he can still taste the quality of wine.

"Master Zheng, I would like to ask, why am I treated differently when I mention Master Zhang's name?"

This is what he is most curious about.

It seems that Zhang Si County's interpersonal relationships here are not good, but he has won the trust of the Si Mansion, otherwise he would not have come down in person.

Zheng Sifu took a sip of wine and his face and beard were covered with alcohol. He didn't care and just wiped it with his sleeve.

"Isn't this normal? This is how officialdom is in this world. When you show yourself to be different, you will be ostracized by your peers."

"The reason why he is called Zhang Zuiniu is because he behaves too differently and refuses to change."

"Here, everyone else has to do things, but besides doing things, it is tacitly accepted to be greedy for a little money. As long as it doesn't touch the big picture, it doesn't hurt."

"But that guy Zhang Zuiniu insists on being upright. Sometimes he even stabs his colleagues, so he is naturally isolated."

"This kid is capable. At least he's pretty good at investigating crimes. I transferred him out as a kind of protection for him. Otherwise, I wouldn't know if he was put in a sack one day."

At this point, Zhou An understood.

For example, you are surrounded by mud, but you are not stained by dust. If the mud does not isolate you, who else can it isolate?

Of course, Zhou An praised Zhang Si County's style.

Being able to maintain one's own purity in the mud is a skill.

Fortunately, Zhang Sixian met a truly enlightened superior who knew how to protect him.

"Let's talk about business. Let me think about what to say first. Since you have encountered the incident at the inn, let's start from the inn." Sifu Zheng took another sip of wine.

"You have experienced what happened to County Magistrate Chen before, and you should have some understanding of the Five Elements burial method. Recently, not only that inn, but also many incidents have occurred. They all use cremation methods."

"Well...fire is good at burning, and it is a branch of the Five Elements Burial Method."

Among the five elements, metal is good at attack, wood is good at recovery, water is good at simulation, fire is good at burning, and earth is good at defense.

Zhou An had seen the simulation of water before, but he didn't expect that this inn would be related to the Five Elements Burial Gate.

"Isn't this thing completely destroyed?"

In the early years, the Five Elements Burial Sect was wiped out, and Zhou An thought these were just remnants.

Who knew that when Zhou An asked this question, Zheng Sifu shook his head.

"It was indeed completely wiped out at that time, but a little information was leaked, and they spread their methods. Then you know, there is a shortcut in front of you. Unless you are a person with extremely high concentration, no one can bear it. Live.

"So many people who have practiced this method have emerged one after another, and they are also using these methods to make trouble."

Zheng Sifu put down the wine jar in his hand.

"I also know this matter. It has nothing to do with you. You don't need to worry about it."

Zhou An nodded. Since there is news here, just let them handle it. His main purpose is to save Yu Hang.

Thinking of this, Zhou An asked about Yu Hang.

He had just finished asking this question when Sifu Zheng took out a piece of paper and turned it upside down on the table.

"This is where your friend is hiding."

Zhou An frowned, picked up the piece of paper, and wrote a detailed location on it.

"So fast?"

He really didn't expect that he would already get the news just after he arrived.

"Your kid still underestimates the intelligence of Zhensi." Zheng Sifu said with a smile.

"When you were dealing with County Magistrate Chen, that guy Zhang Zuiniu also helped you find out a lot, not to mention that he was only the lowest level of the Suppressor."

"I am at the government level here, and I have a wider intelligence network. I have already noticed that woman entered Yunlai Mansion."

If the Suppressing Spies couldn't even find out this bit of information, then they wouldn't let everyone in the world be frightened by the news.

"Thank you." Zhou An thanked him, and after remembering the address above, he was about to turn around and leave.

Now that you have the news, start taking action.

According to his thinking, the problem might not be discovered until participating in the Casting Competition.

Unexpectedly, there was news as soon as it came.

Wouldn't that be just right?

He will not give the other party time to breathe. If he solves the problem as soon as possible, he will save a lot of trouble.

"Wait a minute."

But before he could stand up, Zheng Sifu raised his hand, meaning don't worry for now.

Zhou An stopped, his eyes filled with confusion, not knowing what he meant.

Zheng Sifu wiped a handful of wine from his beard and said, "Boy Zhou, if you deal with this woman, will you not participate in the Dao Casting Competition?"

Zhou An fell into deep thought.

This is indeed what it means. If it can be solved early, there will be no point in participating in this Dao Casting Competition by yourself.

"What Zhang Zuoniu means is that you can still participate." Zheng Sifu said.

"A person's identity is linked to his strength. It's not that identity brings strength, but that strength brings identity."

"If you have a good identity, can you really alleviate a lot of troubles?"

Zhou An nodded: "Let's talk about it later, I'll settle this matter first."

He didn't want to think about this for the time being. He would rescue Yu Hang first.

Zheng Sifu said: "I received the news just after you arrived. People from the Suppression Bureau have already gone to monitor it. Don't worry."

"Thank you."

Zhou An didn't want to continue discussing this matter, so it was better to resolve Yuhang's matter first.

Since Zhou An had said so, Zheng Sifu didn't say anything more.

After leaving Zhenguisi, Zhou An rushed to the address just now.

…

At this time, the sky was still bright and there were many pedestrians on the road.

As we walked, the number of pedestrians gradually became less and less.

Soon, Zhou An came to a very remote place.

No matter how prosperous a city is, there are still one or two places where no one passes by.

This is where Zhou An is now.

When Zhou An came to this remote and deserted alley, he immediately locked his position.

At the end of the alley, there is a small house.

The door there was closed.

Zhou An came to the door and frowned slightly.

Through the gap in the closed door, he could see a figure moving inside.

Now, he is very close to being a second-rate master.

Even if there is any noise, he can still hear it clearly.

There was only one person's footsteps inside, and they were familiar.

——Yu Hang.

Zhou An wondered why Yu Hang could move around freely.

Logically speaking, he should have been kidnapped.

However, the current situation was special, so Zhou An didn't think about it too much and took out a long knife or pan from the pink purse.

The murderous aura began to radiate from his body.

At this moment, the door slowly opened.

Zhou An held the knife and frowned deeper when he saw the scene inside.

In the room, the lights are dim.

But as the door was opened, several rays of light shone in, allowing Zhou An to see the scene inside.

It was an empty, square room with beds, tables and stools.

Apart from this, there is no other furniture.

It looks like it was improvised.

Since he could see straight ahead, Zhou An saw that there was only Yu Hang inside, and the door was opened by Yu Hang.

Yu Hang also looked surprised. Obviously he didn't expect Zhou An to come here, but he quickly realized it.

He knew Zhou An very well, and now he knew that Zhou An must have followed the clues and came to rescue him.

"Old Zhou..."

Just as Yu Hang was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zhou An.

"Where are the people?" Zhou An asked.

There was a tangled look on Yu Hang's face, as if he was thinking about something.

How could Zhou An not know what was going on in Yu Hang, so he continued talking.

"That person ran away, but you stood in front of me intact. Lao Yu, I don't want you to do other things. The relationship between you and me will be very painful if I do it."

Yu Hang smiled bitterly and said: "Old Zhou, you still understand me. He is indeed gone, and I survived by luck, but I paid a price. To be precise, it is not a price, but I gained something."

Zhou An glanced around. Although there was no one here, there was no guarantee that other people would appear. For safety reasons, he let Yu Hang enter the room.

"Let's talk after we go in."

Yu Hang nodded and waited until Zhou An walked in before closing the door.

Zhou An stood beside the table, waiting for Yu Hang to continue.

He was obviously kidnapped, but now he was standing in front of him in good condition. If he said that he was fine, even a fool would not believe it.

The tangled look on Yu Hang's face became even thicker, but after a while, the tangled look on his face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a calm look.

"The woman's name is Mi Mo, and she comes from a casting sect. Later, she united with the remnants of the Five Elements Burial Sect to make both of them lose. Then she profited from it and obtained their sect's most precious treasure, the Variety Casting Bead, and the Five Elements Burial Sect. cremation method."

Just the beginning made Zhou An slightly surprised.

He didn't expect that what happened here would actually be related to the vanished sect.

"She told you so much and let you go. What did you pay?" Zhou An asked.

These are all big secrets.

How could it be said for no reason?

If Zhou An's temper was followed, he could only tell the secret to the dead.

And he also made sure to beat the other party to death before he said it.

After all, in some movies, just because you didn't beat the other party to death, you told some secrets, and then let the other party run away, and finally everything was exposed.

Of course, this is just a metaphor, and he is not stupid enough to tell secrets, even to a dead person.

However, in such a situation, Yu Hang got these secrets.

In this case, Yu Hang could still be alive.

Zhou An felt that there must be something going on here, and it was something big.

"Old Zhou, please listen to what I have to say." Yu Hang continued.

Zhou An did not continue to answer the conversation and waited for Yu Hang to continue.

"That woman learned the cremation method, and also had superb casting skills. She used the fire in the cremation method to refine the metal, and combined with the superb casting skills, the things she created became stronger."

Yu Hang rubbed his forehead with his hands and tried to remember.

"As for the purpose of her coming here, I don't know. I only know that she is here to cause trouble, and..."

While talking, Yu Hang came to a wall and gently knocked on the bricks.

The wall tiles began to shake.

This wall was opened, and there was a hidden compartment inside.

After the secret compartment was opened, two members of the Suppression Squad fell out, apparently still alive.

But there were already severe burns on his body, which were being burned.

"These are the members of the Suppressor who were guarding outside. They have been discovered by her a long time ago. I spent a lot of effort to save their lives."

Zhou An checked and found that he was indeed fine, but the injury looked serious. People in the industry can recover quickly.

After checking, he stood up and clapped his hands.

"Lao Yu, what have you paid for? Why do I feel more and more uneasy?"
