Chapter 221 Asking for help
He is a dead person... a dead person...
In Zuiyue Tower, Zhao Duan was stunned on the spot as he listened to Hai Zongfeng's words. Only this sentence kept echoing in his mind.
So, this Thousand-Faced God is a dead man? wrong……
Zhao Duan's expression changed, and he thought of a possibility. He raised his hand to pick up the maid Qingniao, supported the railing with one hand, turned over and jumped downstairs, and came to the side of the Thousand-faced God lying on his back.
At this moment, as Eunuch Hai turned it over, the handsome young master was lying on his back on the ground covered with exquisite carpets.
His eyes were wide and bloodshot, his face was pale, there was no breath, and very little blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.
At this time, as if with the "death", the appearance of the corpse suddenly began to distort.
Gradually, he turned into another man with an ordinary appearance and an unknown identity.
"Is he the Thousand-Faced God?"
Zhao Duan threw the maid on the ground and shouted in a deep voice.
The beautiful maid codenamed "Blue Bird" was only in the mortal realm. She was already weak after Zhao Duan hammered her Dantian.
Seeing Eunuch Hai next to him at this moment, he couldn't think of running away.
Hearing this, he looked at the person on the ground with a blank expression and shook his head: "I don't know... I have been following him for a year and I have never seen his true face..."
Real or fake?
Zhao Duan expressed doubts.
But Eunuch Hai narrowed his eyes and said:
"She probably didn't lie."
As an expert at Ouchi, he can detect lies to a certain extent just by the speed of the other person's heartbeat and blood flow when they speak.
Of course, there is no evidence, and it may not be accurate.
Zhao Duan asked again with a straight face: "He is a dead man, and you don't know?"
Qingniao's expression became more and more confused. He was also frightened at this moment. He shook his head and said: "No..."
Zhao Duan sneered:
"You'd better think clearly. A corpse, even if it's been blessed with some means, shouldn't be flawless. If you follow him, you won't notice it? Or do you have to wait until he's sentenced to prison? Wait, tell the truth again?”
The maid named Qingniao is obviously far less loyal than Zhuang Xiaocheng's stupid apprentice, the hot-blooded girl Yun Xi.
He said without any hesitation:
"In the past ten days or so since we have been in the city, there has indeed been nothing unusual, but...last night he came back a little late, and his expression was a little strange, and he wouldn't let me get close. By the morning, his expression was as usual."
Zhao Duan and Eunuch Hai looked at each other and could see what the other was thinking.
"Father, is there such a technique in the world that can make a dead body look like a living person, and have a certain level of cultivation?" Zhao Duan asked in a low voice.
The old eunuch in python robe was silent for a moment and said:
"Yes. But most of them are the methods of evil sorcerers, and our family didn't notice anything was wrong just now. The method is indeed extraordinary. As for the disguise, it is this person's special skill."
Zhao Duan said: "Last time, when Hanshuangjian entered the capital, Kuang Fushe gave him a scroll as a trump card. This time the Thousand-Faced God came to the capital, Zhuang Xiaocheng and other rebels must have prepared some means for him.
In this way, the Thousand-Faced God is not dead. He just used some means to control this corpse to talk to us. "
He exhaled and said with a complicated expression: "This is normal. According to the intelligence, this person is good at assassination and has a meticulous mind. Even if he used the You family to trick me, he is worried about repeating the mistake of the Frost Sword and hiding his true body. Get up and use your fake body to deal with me... It’s really hard to deal with.”
Eunuch Hai also looked a little embarrassed.
With his identity, he was slapped in the eye by a junior, who would have said respectfully:
"However, the more powerful the method, the greater the price. If our family destroys his fake body, his real body will definitely be injured."
But no one caught it...
Zhao Duan sighed, feeling anxious as if he were letting the tiger go back to the mountain.
At this time, officers and soldiers suddenly swarmed in outside Zuiyue Tower.
It was obviously a patrol soldier who heard the noise here and came here after hearing the news.
The leader was stunned for a moment when he saw the python-robed eunuch, but he couldn't recognize him for a moment.
When he saw Zhao Duan, his expression changed drastically, he cupped his fists and said:
"Zhao Jisi, we have been ordered to patrol the streets..."
"No need to talk nonsense," Zhao Duan waved his hand, interrupted him, and ordered:
"Take all those who fell to the ground to the medical center for treatment, and send people to search the area to see if there are any suspicious people."
He lowered his eyes and looked at the big black umbrella on the ground that was pierced by violence, and his heart twitched.
The heart says that good things are lost in vain.
But as the town was forced, the power of the curse was eliminated, the illnesses of the innocent people in Zuiyue Tower subsided, and nothing serious happened.
As for the You family...
Zhao Duan glanced at Youzhande who was seriously injured and fainted, shook his head and said:
"Let's take him away for treatment."
The officers and soldiers responded to the call and became busy for a while.
Eunuch Hai patrolled the area again.
No trace of the Thousand Faced God was found, so he took Zhao Duan and the captive maid back to Zhao Yamen.
Immediately, he returned to the palace alone to resume his life.
…
"Run away? False body?"
In the imperial garden, the empress listened to the report of the python-robed eunuch, her beautiful eyebrows raised.
Asked: "How is Zhao Duan?"
Eunuch Hai twitched the corner of his mouth and said:
"That boy is very good. He seems to have guessed that someone is protecting him secretly. Our family wanted to see how good he is... but this boy forced him out."
The old priest was extremely confident in his ability to hide traces, and he absolutely did not believe that he had been discovered.
Then the news can only be leaked through other channels.
When the empress heard that Zhao Duan was unscathed, she nodded and was not surprised: "That's good. The thief is cunning and can hide it from you. It must be Zhuang Xiaocheng and others who gave this person the means to save his life. Although he failed to kill him, he was seriously injured, which is considered good.”
Hai Zongfeng understood that this was the empress trying to save his face, so he sighed and turned to leave. After they left, Mo Chou said worriedly:
"Your Majesty, if you scare the thief away now, it will be difficult to catch him."
After saying that, she sighed again:
"If Tianshi Mansion and Shenlong Temple, even if either family is willing to make an exception and send experts to help, they will not let a bunch of people be arrogant."
Xu Zhenguan was silent.
How could she not know this?
Not to mention her own cultivation, just as she was enshrined in the imperial palace and commander of the imperial army... she also had many strong men under her command.
No matter what, they are all martial artists.
If you fight head-on, you are not afraid of anyone. Even if you are facing two major cultivating forces, you will have the confidence to bulldoze them.
But for this kind of warlock method, it's a no brainer.
Of course, it is not that the royal family has not cultivated its own warlocks over the years. There are two powerful ones hidden in Houhu Lake alone.
But warlocks also have their own specialties, and most warlocks are also not good at divination and finding people.
As a result, it was clearly just a stray fish, but it caused a storm in the morning and panic among people.
"Order the soldiers of the capital to search more. If the fish does not eat the bait, empty the pond so that he has no place to hide and force him to come out."
Xu Zhenguan lowered his eyes, looked at the fish dispersing in the pond, and gave calm instructions.
…
…
Zhaoyamen.
Inside Lihuatang.
It belongs exclusively to the "office" of the Ji Division.
Zhao Duan pushed the door open and entered, threw himself on the Arhat bed and cleared his mind.
Looking back on today's experience, he felt that he had been a little too aggressive and his vigilance had dropped for no apparent reason.
——He didn’t know that this was the result of the Thousand-Faced God, who had secretly cursed him since the first day he entered the city.
Looking back now, the reason why I am bold is mainly because I have enough cards, so I can escape even if I encounter an enemy.
Moreover, during this period, his martial arts skills had greatly improved, which also made him a little eager to try.
"Now it seems that the Shenzhang realm should not be underestimated. Unless all the cards are used, it will be difficult to win."
He concluded silently.
As for Eunuch Hai in the secret... he was really not sure.
Just based on rationality, I feel that with the Frost Sword in front of me, there may not be an expert guard by my side.
However, what really made him shout those words at that time was the feeling transmitted by the dragon soul.
"At that moment, the dragon soul in my body was about to wake up, but I clearly felt the fluctuations of the aura of the God of War coming from the rooftop... Therefore, one of the abilities of the dragon soul is that it can sense within a certain range. Likewise, The 'similar' people who practice the inheritance of Taizu Dayu?"
"No...More than that, when Eunuch Hai took action, I even had a vague hunch that as long as I awaken the dragon soul, I can even suppress him...Yes, I seem to be able to suppress Eunuch Hai...
Is it because the dragon soul represents Lao Xu, and the palace ministers are equivalent to Lao Xu's disciples? When the ancestors are in front of you, all descendants must kneel down? "
Zhao Duan was thinking wildly.
It's a pity that at that time, he only focused on suppressing the dragon soul and did not dare to really try.
"Well...if Dragon Soul can suppress Eunuch Hai, can it also suppress Zhenbao?"
Zhao Duan shook his head and drove this bold idea out of his mind.
How can a strong person in the heaven-human realm be so easy to deal with?
I feel a bit drifting off...
"Think about what is happening in front of you! You can only be a thief for a thousand days, so how can you guard against a thief for a thousand days?
The Thousand-faced God is obviously rushing to kill me... If I don't get rid of him, even if he temporarily hides and escapes, he will not be able to escape after a thousand days. He came back from his injuries, and with his disguise, he could never give me a knife...
The stepmother and sister can no longer go out in peace... How can this be done? "
Zhao Duan frowned and thought hard.
The maid named "Blue Bird" had already ordered her subordinates to interrogate her, but Zhao Duan didn't think that many clues could be found.
"When the Thousand-Faced God fled, he threw out his maid as a shield... It was the same as Zhuang Xiaocheng abandoning his female disciple... It can be seen that it is impossible to grasp the key information."
"Although my Fengyue Treasure Mirror can detect others, I don't know what the Thousand-Faced God looks like now...it can't be used at all."
"The other party was frightened, and I'm afraid he has already hidden himself. A master of disguise is hiding in a capital city with a population of millions. Where can he find it?"
Zhao Duan had no clue.
"Unless...you get a professional."
Zhao Duan's eyes lit up, he turned over and sat up, took out the silver scroll, and gently poured out a half-burned yellow incense stick.
He is ready to shake people!
This idea didn’t just come to his mind at this moment, but he had not implemented it before, so he didn’t know if the other party could help.
Secondly, I don’t want to do any favors to myself.
But now, the Thousand-Faced God has clearly threatened him.
"It's all you who forced me..."
Zhao Duan murmured to himself, as if he had rolled away from a beast, lit the yellow incense, and watched the light smoke curl up through the roof ridges, tiles, and into the sky.
One minute...
Three minutes...
five minutes...
The incense suddenly stirred and the room was half empty.
Wearing a black priest robe embroidered with gold thread, a petite girl with pale skin and divergent eyes slowly appeared.
One of the Zhudian boys of this year, the Jin Jian Priest of the Tianshi Mansion, had a wary face:
"What do you want from me?"
She suspected that Zhao Duan came to collect debts.
