Chapter 1829 Inference
This sound is very strange. It does not sound like the sound of any musical instrument, nor is it a natural sound, nor is it a human voice.
Just like the autumn wind blowing away the fallen leaves, the rustling sounds gather together to form sound waves, one after another, turning thousands of times, which makes people lose their concentration for a moment.
But soon, the sound stopped suddenly.
The look of pain on Nan Wang's face gradually disappeared, and turned into a very peaceful one. He sat cross-legged on the spot, then closed his eyes and turned into a lifeless corpse again.
A wisp of black air flew out from his Tianling Cap, but the medicinal power of the "Zhuquan Water" disappeared and turned into black smoke, which was scattered by Liang Yan.
"Unfortunately, death is like a lamp going out. Even with our methods, we can only detect a few abnormalities before his death, but cannot restore the entire experience." Wei Wuming sighed.
"Having said that, there are some clues." Liang Yan glanced at the dead body lying on the ground and said calmly: "Now it is certain that his obsession was not accidental, but because he was practicing the technique. At that time, I heard a certain sound, which made me lose my mind and almost go crazy, so I became obsessed. "
Wei Wuming glanced at Liang Yan and suddenly smiled: "If there is anyone in Nanxuan who can make others crazy with just his voice without using magic, I am afraid it is the monks from Yuzhu Mountain. It can be done."
"What? Do you suspect he is mine?" Liang Yan frowned.
"Until the truth is found out, Wei will not rule out anyone's suspicion, but at least, I believe it was not Liang Shuai's doing. Because Liang Shuai has been training in the martial arts field in the past few days, I know this "
"Haha, your information is quite good," Liang Yan said lightly.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward, Gui Wuqi immediately smiled and said: "You two don't have to be suspicious of each other. You are both people I can trust. I hope Liang Shuai and Wuming Gongzi can resolve this matter." Work together to find out The truth.”
“Is it just the death of a few foundation-building and Juyuan-level monks worth the trouble?”
Although Liang Yan said this, his eyes looked at Wei Wuming, as if Wanted to observe his reaction.
Wei Wuming smiled slightly and said: "The wind rises at the end of Qingping, and the waves form between gentle waves. Now the North-South War is about to break out. At this time, any slight change may turn into a violent storm, and Can Ke has to Be cautious."
"You are not from the Wuchen Army, how can you know so much? I guess you are prepared. If you want to cooperate, you might as well tell everything you know." Still no concessions.
"Shuai Liang is indeed a smart man and can hide nothing from you. Yes, in fact, a similar thing happened in the military camp where Wei was located. This visit to Gui Wujiu was originally to discuss other matters, but I accidentally learned about Master Wuqi’s current situation from him, so I secretly came to find him, but I didn’t expect that Liang Shuai was also there.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Yan's sea of consciousness resounded with a message from Gui Wuqi: "This man is the only casual cultivator among the four young masters of Nanxuan. He was born in Tianshui Mountain and has now joined the Shenxiao Army in Shenxiao Mountain. "
After hearing this, Liang Yan nodded slightly and asked, "How many monks are there in the Shenxiao Army who have gone crazy like this?"
"There are nine people in total." Wei Wuming replied.
“So many?”
Liang Yan frowned and muttered: “There are people in Wuchen and Shenxiao who have become obsessed at the same time. It is definitely not an ordinary thing. "These monks have different origins and had almost no contact with each other before their death. It should not be a private vendetta."
"Is it Beiming's traitor?" Gui Wuqi suddenly said.
“Since the war between the North and the South, there may be traitors sneaking in, but those who can lead others to go crazy with music should at least have the cultivation of Zhenjun Tongxuan, but why would such a person embarrass some juniors? What does this mean to them? ”
"This"
Gui Wuqi also couldn't figure it out.
Indeed, even if there is a traitor, he should do everything possible to sneak into the top brass of the military to spy on military intelligence. Killing some low-level monks like this has no benefit at all except possibly exposing yourself.
Wei Wuming spoke slowly at this time: "Seemingly bizarre things often have reasonable explanations behind them. The reason why we are confused may be because our starting point was wrong from the beginning."
“Oh? I wonder what Brother Wei has to say?”
"Gao Jian is out of the question, maybe we can change our thinking."
Wei Wuming reached out and knocked on his wheelchair, and said slowly: "Suppose the traitor did not kill for the sake of killing, but instead While performing certain activities, these people were inadvertently driven into obsession. If you think about it this way, wouldn’t many problems be solved?”
“Yes!” Reminder, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"We have indeed fallen into a misunderstanding. How could someone with such means have trouble with some low-level monks? The death of these monks may not have been that person's original intention, but he inadvertently caused the death of those monks while carrying out certain activities. For it.”
"Then a new question comes." Wei Wuming added: "Assuming that this person uses the magical power of music, what is his purpose? Also, there are so many masters in Nanxuan's army. If the person behind the scenes didn't intend to kill him, These low-level monks, why didn’t all the masters notice it, but these low-level monks heard the sound?”
“Yes!”
The more he listened, the more confused he became. , said to himself: "If his voice is said to be unintentional, then the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage can hear it, but we can't hear it? Unless he gathers the sound into a line and listens specifically to these monks, but in that case it is not unintentional. Well, let’s go back to the previous question: Why did the dignified Lord Tongxuan, perhaps even the Patriarch of Huajie, kill these monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage? “I wonder what Liang Shuai thinks?” Wei Wuming? Suddenly he looked at Liang Yan.
Liang Yan couldn't help but laugh when he heard his question: "The unknown Taoist friend is very confident, but he comes to take a test against Liang?"
"Liang Shuai is joking, Can Ke just wants to hear your thoughts."
"That's fine."
Liang Yan nodded and said slowly: "Actually, I think Wuming Taoist Fellow The inference is very reasonable. Assuming that the culprit is Beiming's work, no matter what his purpose is, he should not harm these foundation-building and Juyuan-level people. The monks in the lower level, not to mention these low-level monks are scattered all over the place and don’t know each other. It doesn’t look like it’s intentional, but more like an accident while doing some activity.”
“So what? Explain, only these low-level monks heard the sound, but none of us masters heard it?" Gui Wuqi frowned.
“There is only one explanation, and that is that these dead monks all have some similarities!”
"Similarities?"
"Yes, you can regard this similarity as a prerequisite for hearing the sound. Only monks with this special condition can hear the sound, otherwise no matter how high the cultivation level is, Gao Ye couldn't hear it."
"Will such a bizarre thing really happen?" Gui Wuqi said doubtfully.
Liang Yan smiled slightly: "As the nameless Taoist friend said, after eliminating all unrealistic inferences, no matter how incredible the rest is, it is the truth of the matter."
"I didn't say that." Wei Wuming smiled half-heartedly.
"That's what you think." Liang Yan said calmly.
"Weird thing!"
Gui Wuqi looked at the two of them and couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart. How come there is an indescribable tacit understanding now even though they were tit for tat a moment ago? It was as if two old friends who had known each other for many years were reviewing a certain chess game together, but they themselves became outsiders
“Ahem, cough, cough!”
Wei Wuming suddenly coughed violently several times, as if he was suffering from an internal injury. He hurriedly took the wine gourd from his waist and took a few sips before he calmed down.
“Fellow Taoist Wuming, are you okay?” Gui Wuqi asked worriedly.
“It’s an old problem. Just have a drink and it’ll be fine.”
Wei Wuming waved his hand and said slowly: “The Wuchen Army and the Shenxiao Army combined total Sixteen people are obsessed with it. Our responsibility is to The most urgent task is to find out what similarities these sixteen people have, and then start to break through these similarities, and we will be able to get to the bottom of it."
After that, he took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and handed it over. Towards Liang Yan.
"This is some information that I searched by myself. It contains detailed information about the nine members of the Shenxiao Army. It can be used to compare with the seven members of the Wuchen Army."
Liang Yan reached out to take it and unfolded it. , which indeed contains the information of nine people, which records in detail their magical powers, origins, living habits, daily magic weapons and magical tools. Even the tasks they performed after joining Nanxuan, as well as their recent activity trajectories. Write clearly.
“Fellow Taoist is really attentive.” Liang Yan sighed with emotion.
Gui Wuqi came over and added the information about the seven Wuchen Army people to the bamboo slips. Although it was not as detailed as Wei Wuming's record, it still roughly described the situation of the seven people clearly.
“Judging from the information on this bamboo slip, there seems to be no similarity between these sixteen people.”
Gui Wuqi sighed while checking: "The magical powers and techniques they practice are all very different. Some practice Taoism, some practice demons, and some practice body training. Their origins are also different. I have never met each other before. It’s impossible to hit even eight poles.”
Liang Yan did not speak immediately, but stared at the content on the bamboo slip and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he suddenly frowned and said: "No!"
"What's wrong?"
Liang Yan pointed his hand on the bamboo slip, "Wuchen Fei Dan from the Army went to Fengxiang Slope half a month ago, and Yu Lie from the Shenxiao Army also went to Fengxiang Slope five months ago. ”
"Isn't Fengxiangpo the territory of Wanshou Mountain?" Gui Wuqi pondered: "But this doesn't mean anything. Only two people have been there, maybe it's just a coincidence."
"Otherwise, in normal times, Maybe it's a coincidence, but we now know the results and infer that there must be a connection between the sixteen people, so any similarity is suspicious," Liang Yan said slowly.
"Brother Liang is right."
Wei Wuming also nodded and said: "These two people, one is in the Wuchen Army and the other is in the Shenxiao Army, have both been to 'Fengxiang Slope' , I think there must be some kind of connection, but it’s a pity that I only had information about the Shenxiao Army, otherwise I wouldn’t have ignored it.”
“Where is Fengxiang Slope?” Liang Yan asked.
Gui Wuqi thought for a while and replied: "As far as I know, Fengxiangpo is the territory of Wanshou Mountain, but it is not a place where military camps are stationed. It is just a place where spiritual beasts are raised and spiritual medicines are cultivated."
Liang Yan also recalled the day he followed Liu Changshou into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. Looking at the scene at that time, he nodded and said: "Yes, I have also been to the territory of Wanshou Mountain. There are indeed many places where various natural materials and earthly treasures are planted, but these natural materials and earthly treasures are all used to raise spiritual beasts. ”
“Then the question comes.” Wei Wu. Ming slowly said: "Yu Lie and Fei Dan belong to the Shenxiao Army and Wuchen Army respectively. What is their purpose in going to Fengxiangpo?"
"Maybe it's because they both raise spiritual beasts and want to go Feng Xiangpo purchases some spiritual materials to cultivate spiritual beasts?”
< br> "Haha, Mr. Wuqi, don't forget that these people have the highest cultivation level only in the Juyuan realm, and most of them are still in the foundation building stage. Could it be that the spiritual materials they need cannot be purchased in our army, so they have to go out of their way to Go shopping at Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain?”
"That is to say."
"That is to say, there is something wrong with their spirit beasts!"
A light flashed in Liang Yan's eyes, and the next moment, everyone's eyes turned to There is a blue cloth bag on the waist of the corpse. It is the spirit beast bag that "Nanwang" used when he was alive.
"If there is no problem with our inference, then there must be something fishy in the spirit beast bag looking south."
"But, I checked before and the spirit beast bag is empty."< br>
"Fellow Taoist didn't pay attention to this before, so he only checked it in general, which is easy to miss. Besides, there is nothing in the spirit beast bag, which is doubtful in itself."
Liang Yan said. Then, he raised his hand and cast a spell, taking Nan Wang's spirit beast bag into his hand.
With the movement of the skills in the body, the mouth of the spirit beast bag opened spontaneously, and a faint wisp of green smoke floated out.
“It’s the remnant soul of the remnant soul beast!”
At this moment, Gui Wuqi’s eyes were filled with surprise and admiration, “You two are really amazing! I checked half of them You haven’t even figured out the situation for a month, and you haven’t even left the cave, and you have made progress while talking and laughing.”
"Young Master Wuqi is joking. If it weren't for the information you provided, Liang would have been unable to do anything."
Liang Yan said, stretched out his hand, and the remnant soul immediately let out a shrill scream, and then disappeared into thin air.
“Did you hear that? This spirit beast, like its master, went crazy before it died. The difference is that its owner just went crazy, while the spirit beast exploded directly after death, even a little bit. No trace was left.”
< br>"Well, it seems that the thing these sixteen people have in common is that they have all raised some kind of special spiritual beast. Don't worry, Liang Shuai, this matter is not difficult to investigate. I will summon their army commanders now to find out Ask about this matter clearly," Gui Wuqi said in a deep voice.
"Then I'll have to thank you, Mr. Liang." Liang Yan said with a smile.
"Please wait a moment, both of you."
Gui Wuqi didn't say much, hugged the two of them with a fist, turned around and left the cave, and flew towards the Wuchen Army's camp again.
There were only two people left in the cave for a while.
"Fellow Daoist Liang."
Wei Wuming glanced at Liang Yan, smiled slightly and said: "The spirit beast in Nanwang has been dead for many days, and its remaining soul is also in pieces. Can Friend Daoist Putting these soul fragments together is not an ordinary method.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan's eyes showed a hint of vigilance.
"What does this guy want to express? Could it be that he has seen the origin of the 'Soul Seed Technique'? Impossible, this is the magical power of the demons. Even I don't know the origin. Could it be that he knows something?" ”
