Chapter 44 Attraction
Maybe someone sees an opportunity to fish in troubled waters and takes action decisively.
Lu Wan hummed: "Except for the Houtu Sect, no one knows about this Earth Dragon Pearl, let alone its magical uses."
If you don't know the magical effect of the Earth Dragon Pearl, you won't risk offending the Grand Master to steal the Earth Dragon Pearl, and there is also the risk of being blocked.
"Elder Lu," Chu Zhiyuan said: "There is no airtight wall in the world, not to mention that all the disciples in your sect know it, right? How can you expect others to not know it?"
"They won't spread the word."
"I won't talk nonsense, but I will always let it slip unintentionally. What's more, I don't know how many people saw and heard what happened that night."
"..."
"There can be no chaos at this time to prevent anyone from fanning the flames and secretly adding fuel to the flames." Chu Zhiyuan said.
He had read too many files, and there were too many incidents of people using borrowed knives to kill people.
"I think it's the Houtu Sect." Lu Wan's voice was soft and slow, with a firm expression: "Others, there is no need to do this, and I'm afraid they don't have the courage to do so."
"...The Houtu Sect will never admit the current situation," Chu Zhiyuan thought for a while: "To catch a thief, you have to catch him in person."
"There is no need to find the thief, just ask the Houtu Cult to hand over the things." Lu Wan said calmly.
Chu Zhiyuan said helplessly: "Are we going to ask Grandmaster Song to take action again?"
This time Lu Wan moved out of Seinfeld at every turn.
Alarming Song Feiqiong will indeed bring great pressure to Zongwusi. Once Song Feiqiong is dispatched, it will prove that Zongwusi is incompetent and will be punished.
Lu Wan said: "Does your Excellency have any idea?... You can't let the Houtu Cult bow down, right? They have the confidence and backing to ignore it."
Chu Zhiyuan pondered.
If Song Feiqiong is allowed to take action personally, it means that Zongwusi has neglected its duties. It is estimated that all Zongwusi officials will not try to get the guaranteed ninth-grade merit this year.
Can I make the Houtu Sect hand over the Earth Dragon Pearl?
The answer is obviously, no.
It doesn't matter whether he is a Yuan Wai Lang or the Crown Prince of Prince Qing.
Houtujiao is close to many officials and does not tolerate himself as an outsider.
Prince Huai's Mansion was far more prosperous than Prince Qing's Mansion.
If Prince Qing's Palace is stronger than Prince Huai's Palace, Houtu Sect might listen to him.
Neither identity can make Hou Tujiao bow his head.
Seeing that Grandmaster Song was about to be alerted and take action personally, what could he do?
Since nothing can be done, let the doctor or minister take the trouble. The most important thing is to report it to the superior in time without delay.
When he thought of this, his heart sank: "Elder Lu, can I take a look at the scene?"
"...My lord, please." Lu Wan hesitated and nodded slowly.
……
Chu Zhiyuan looked at this quiet room.
This is a simply furnished quiet room, with only a couch, a table and a chair, and no trivial things such as screen furniture.
There are pens, inks, paper, inkstones and teapots on the table.
There is no bedding on the couch, only a small red sandalwood box at the head of the bed, a small red sandalwood box the size of a palm.
The red sandalwood box has been opened, and there is nothing else inside except white silk. It is empty.
"Does anyone know where that thing is?"
Chu Zhiyuan looked at this quiet room. It was spotless, neat and without clutter. His super sense kept locking on the small red sandalwood box.
"Only Wanshan himself knows. Other than that, I don't even know where he put the beads."
"Only himself..." Chu Zhiyuan pondered.
The super sense caught a faint breath from the small red sandalwood box, and this breath made him suddenly undergo strange changes.
For example, if an extremely hungry person suddenly sees a large table of delicious food, the sight of it will make people salivate.
It seemed like countless little hands were born in his body, eager to reach out and pull them into his belly and body.
Suddenly, a stone bead the size of a dragon's eye appeared in front of his eyes.
The bumpy surface of this stone bead looks like a stone bead carved casually and thrown on the roadside. Except for bored children, I am afraid no adults will pick it up.
Who would have thought that it turned out to be a jewel.
Then he realized that this was what the dragon ball looked like.
The super sense broke the constraints of time and space and absorbed the appearance of the Earth Dragon Ball.
He tried his best to suppress the strangeness in his body and keep his expression calm.
The Dragon Transformation Technique is running rapidly, and the golden breath is jumping through the meridians, nourishing and strengthening the meridians, three minutes faster than when he usually practices.
Is this dragon ball so miraculous on the Dragon Transformation Technique?
……
Lu Wanyang said: "Wanshan, come in."
"Uncle Master." A handsome young man walked in with a clear voice, with a majestic air and a stern expression.
Lu Wandao: "This is Xu Wanshan, a disciple of our sect."
"I have met Mr. Yuan Wai Lang." Xu Wanshan clasped his fists with a solemn face.
Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists and looked at Xu Wanshan: "When did Xu Shaoxia realize that something was missing?"
The super sense also focused on Xu Wanshan in front of him.
Changes in his heartbeat, subtle expressions, frequency of eye flashes, dilation and contraction of pupils, muscle contraction and relaxation, subtle changes in posture, changes in the center of gravity of his feet, skin tension and relaxation, breathing rate, throat tightness, and subtle movements of limbs.
Everything is presented in his heart and illuminated by him.
"Last night," Xu Wanshan said solemnly, "I came back from outside and came to the quiet room to prepare for practice. When I opened the box, I found it was empty."
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Who knows it is here?"
"No one else knows!" Xu Wanshan said firmly. Chu Zhiyuan's super-sensory cave shone on Xu Wanshan to prevent him from lying and guarding against self-stealing.
Although this idea was bizarre, he found after looking through those files that there were too many more bizarre things in the world.
The super-sense revealed that Xu Wanshan was not lying. As soon as he mentioned last night, his blood immediately rose, his pupils dilated, and his anger level rose sharply.
He secretly thought: This Xu Wanshan is actually at the level of the first level of Xiantian. Judging from the fact that he is not much older than himself, he is obviously also a martial arts wizard.
Gao Lingfeng said that the genius of this generation of Feihua Sword Sect should be Xu Wanshan, who looked confident and arrogant.
Of course, he was also unconvinced by his eldest son and Yuanwailang.
A martial arts genius is inevitably arrogant and arrogant.
There are still too few geniuses. If you see more geniuses from other sects and see Huang Shirong's cultivation, he should be able to restrain his arrogance and know that the sky is high and the sky is high, there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.
"Sir," Lu Wan said softly: "The Houtu Sect should have a special way to sense this bead... Ever since Wanshan got this bead, he has never shown it to anyone except me... After we came to Yujing, The Houtu Cult suddenly came to ask for it. Before that, we didn’t even know what kind of bead it was.”
When no one knows where the Earth Dragon Pearl is hidden, the only ones who can accurately find the Earth Dragon Pearl are the masters of the Houtu Sect.
This matter was a conspiracy. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? When he and Senior Brother Yang were transferred out, a thief broke in, and the thief stole the Earth Dragon Ball instead of anything else.
The divine object has been obscured. The Earth Dragon Pearl looks like a stone bead, so ordinary that no one even picks it up if it is thrown on the ground.
If he were a thief who stole gold, silver, and martial arts secrets, how could he take another look at this stone bead?
Chu Zhiyuan looked at Xu Wanshan: "Can Shaoxia Xu sense its breath?"
"Yes!" Xu Wanshan said proudly: "I can sense its existence as soon as it gets within ten meters."
"That's good...Elder Lu, don't bother bothering Grand Master Song," Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "I will report it truthfully and let's see how the Lord Shangshu decides."
"Since your Excellency has said so, I won't go to Uncle Song today... I will go tomorrow."
"Then just wait..." Chu Zhiyuan looked at her with a smile.
This Lu Wan can be described as soft yet strong.
He turned around and patted Xu Wanshan on the shoulder: "Xu Shaoxia, don't worry, what is yours will be yours after all."
The Dragon Transformation Technique accelerated again in an instant, rushing through the meridians like a frenzy.
This was caused by the residual Earth Dragon Pearl aura in Xu Wanshan's body.
Xu Wanshan made a subconscious dodge move, but he was photographed by Chu Zhiyuan before he could make it.
He twitched the corners of his mouth unnaturally and forced a smile.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and took back his palm and looked at Lu Wan: "Elder Lu, farewell."
"Thank you, sir." Lu Wan clasped her fists.
Under the respectful greetings of Lu Wan and others, and surrounded by Guo Chi and the guards, Chu Zhiyuan slowly left.
Zhenwu Division has tracking masters who can capture the breath and follow it.
But this requires breath.
The aura left on the red sandalwood box was extremely weak.
Then this thief is no ordinary thief, he must be a top thief, possessing extraordinary skills and secret techniques that can cover his own aura and erase his own aura.
After stealing the Earth Dragon Ball, find a place far away from Yujing, dig a deep hole and bury it. Tracing it is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Or a treasure like the Cold Jade Box can completely isolate the breath.
It is almost impossible to find under the Grand Master.
I just don’t know if Grandmaster can do it.
The Grand Master's magical powers are beyond ordinary imagination and can sometimes transcend the obstacles of time and space.
It's hard to say whether this earth dragon ball was stolen by the masters of Houtu Sect.
Are there such powerful thieves in the Houtu Sect?
Or did the Houtu Cult collude with powerful masters to steal it?
Can such a treasure be given to someone else?
This matter was shrouded in fog. Thinking of this, he glanced around and arrived at Nantianmen unknowingly.
The super sense caught this breath, and followed the breath to this place, and then went out of the inner city and arrived at the outer city of Yujing City.
Yujing City is divided into inner and outer cities.
The original Yujing City was not that big, but it became more and more prosperous, and more and more people came in, so it was expanded outside the original Yujing City to form a larger outer city.
The inner city was prosperous and safe, and naturally the land prices were high, which gradually crowded out the original common people. Eventually, all the people living there were dignitaries.
Ordinary people or ordinary wealthy businessmen can only live in outer cities.
Most of those sects are in the outer city.
If you want to enter the inner city, you need the approval of the court.
The other sects of the Four Great Sects and the Feihua Sword Sect, as well as the Houtu Sect, Zhenyi Sect, and other sects have no bad records, no records of committing crimes, committing crimes, or killing innocent people indiscriminately.
Compared to the stability of the inner city, the outer city is a mixed bag. Even if the city guards are strong and there are patrols by the Zhenwu Division, it is still more dangerous.
Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and did not go out any further. It was not advisable to go to the outer city before the Grand Master to avoid risking his life.
The Earth Dragon Ball is important, but no matter how important it is, life is not as important.
He turned around and walked back to the Rites Yamen. He went into his office and wrote an official document for Gao Lingfeng to submit.
He slowly left the Rites Yamen and wandered around the city. He looked at the altars of those sects and found that they were ordinary and nothing unusual.
But he didn't underestimate them either.
I'm afraid these sects all have their own hidden agendas and know how to keep a low profile. Just like the Houtu Sect, they couldn't see anything strange about the Earth God statue when they didn't notice Feng Zhihao practicing.
There is no super sense, and there is no difference in the True One Sect.
After walking around, he returned to the house next to Mingyue Tower and continued his practice.
