Chapter 340 Acting rashly
After chatting for a few words, Li Chuan asked Zhang Xintong to take his family back first and settle them before coming back.
After Zhang Xintong left, Chang Xiao told what he heard from the three nephews.
Chang Xiao said: "When they come to Beijing after the New Year, they listen to Mr. Zhang's arrangements and do some chores on weekdays. Except for Mr. Zhang, they don't recognize anyone else here, and the capital spends money. There was too much room, and Mr. Zhang didn't give them much money, so he rarely went out. The chubby one was the oldest one. He seemed to have some thoughts about Mr. Zhang and said he wouldn't have come if he had known he was here to do chores. , it’s better to stay at home.”
Li Chuan nodded and said, “I guess there are more infections in the back house.”
Zhu Qingyun said: "When I sent my little daughter there, she seemed to have some reaction when she saw Mrs. Liu. Maybe she will get better in the future."
"Hopefully." Li Chuan said, and then he would What Zhang Xintong said when he came to see him last night was repeated to Zhu Qingyun and Chang Xiao.
After Li Chuan finished speaking, Chang Xiao took the initiative and said: "Leave it to me to investigate the theater troupe. I have a few friends in Beijing. Which companies did the theater troupe go to after it came to Beijing? , I can probably ask who I have contacted. I have been to King Gunlong’s palace several times before.”
“That’s good,” Li Chuan agreed immediately.
After the three of them chatted casually for a while, Zhu Qingyun suddenly shouted in the direction of the door: "Master, why are you here?"
Li Chuan looked up and saw Gong Wuguang standing at the door.
All three stood up.
After Gong Wuguang walked in, he asked them all to sit down and said, "There is no need to be so restrained. I studied the Devouring Souls last night and found a way to find the other clones and the main body through the clones. But this spell, At present, I am the only one in Beijing who can perform it.”
“Thank you for your hard work,” Li Chuan said.
"Qingyun, do you have a compass with you?" Gong Wuguang asked Zhu Qingyun.
Zhu Qingyun took out the compass and said: "Bring it with you."
Gong Wuguang said: "After I cast the spell, the results will be reflected on the compass. Then you can find the infection through the compass." Those who eat souls, take them to Qintian Prison."
"Yes," Zhu Qingyun said.
“Do you want to use it now?” Li Chuan asked.
Gong Wuguang shook his head and said: "We have to wait until Yiliang comes back with Qingshuangcao. I estimate that he should be back in five or six days. After he comes back, we must first Try the effect of Green Frost Grass before starting to implement it.”
He explained: "I cast a spell in the morning and took a rough look at the situation. The number of infected people did not exceed a hundred, but some of them may have unusual identities, and it is difficult to restrain them in Qintian Prison for a long time."
Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought it was about to start now."
Zhu Qingyun also said, "Master, if you ask me about the compass, I thought I was going to catch people soon. I’m still thinking, what should I do? I haven’t mastered my magic yet.”
After hearing this, Gong Wuguang said with a smile: “I just have time, so I’ll talk to you. Are all your family members cured?"
"Everyone who came today has been cured," Li Chuan said, briefly explaining the situation, and then said, "He will come back later. , we are going to visit his house.”
"I'll go too." Gong Wuguang said.
"Okay." Li Chuan was very happy. "Among the people he will bring later, you should keep a few of the infected ones and don't treat them first." Gong Wuguang told Li Chuan, "You can use them to see if the Green Frost Grass juice works."
< br>
"I understand." Li Chuan said, and then he said: "Jian Zheng, I want to compare the structures of Devourer and White Walkers."
"Okay." Gong Wuguang said: "Qingyun has almost mastered the magic of catching soul-eating spirits. Just do it."
"There are no White Walkers. A sample from Xialin Village is now in Qingzong." Li Chuan expressed his difficulty.
"Are you planning to go to Qingzong? That's fine, just let Qingyun and you go." Gong Wuguang said.
"If we go to Qingzong, it will take at least half a month to go back and forth." Li Chuan finally expressed his thoughts, "I was wondering if I could go to Xinyuan and fish some out now. ?"
Gong Wuguang was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He looked at Li Chuan's lowered eyebrows and asked, "How are you going to get it?"
Li Chuan said, "I I want to find a safe place, use the Tianyin Pot to cause the surge, and sink into the abyss of my heart in the sound of the pot. If possible, sink some of the Devouring Souls into it and see what changes will happen if they are really from the same origin. If so, maybe they will merge together in the abyss of the heart?”
He said frankly: "I don't know how to investigate cases. Mr. Zhang told me a lot, and Miss Zhu and Mr. Chang also asked for a lot of information. But I just listened and couldn't connect them together at all."
Gong Wuguang comforted: "This matter is already very confusing, and I..."
"But I think there is still something I can do." Li Chuan interrupted Gong Wuguang's words.
His idea was very simple. He said: "There are only two questions in this case. The first is that the Zhang family was possessed by ghosts. Is it an accident or a conspiracy? If it is a conspiracy, the second is The question is, who is the conspiracy against?"
"It can't be an accident." Gong Wuguang said: "With the luck of the Great Jiang Dynasty, it is impossible for such a thing to happen accidentally in the capital."< br>
Li Chuan said: "That's a conspiracy. We don't know who the other party is or what their identity is. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the open. The troupe walked from Yashan County to the capital several months ago. It took so long for them to do what they wanted. There are too many arrangements. We are now going to investigate the Zhang family, the troupe's actions in the capital, and their behavior along the way. We have spent countless hours investigating, and what we may find is what they want to see. "
“However, there is something that can be determined.” Li Chuan said: “That is to determine what the Devouring Soul is.”
“If it is from the same origin, that’s good, Devouring Soul Maybe the White Walkers also have some of the characteristics, and maybe they can use the Green Frost Grass to get rid of the White Walkers. They also have spells that can track and capture the White Walkers, and distinguish them from ordinary people. You can even contact Yun Yi. Immortal, ask him for help."
"If not, there is no harm in studying the enemy's methods."
"So in addition to conventional tracing methods, I want to sink into the Heart Abyss, directly observe the White Walkers in the Heart Abyss, and then throw something into it..."
"What else are you going to throw in?" This time, Gong Wuguang interrupted Li Chuan.
"Eating Souls, besides Devouring Souls..." Li Chuan thought seriously and said, "I think we can try raising some butterflies where the boundaries overlap."
"Have you ever talked to Fellow Daoist Wen about this?" Gong Wuguang asked.
“Not yet.” Li Chuan said.
Gong Wuguang said: "Don't act rashly, wait until I discuss it with fellow Daoist Wen."
