Chapter 470 Qinling
“Only twenty days?” Yang Shan said in surprise, and then he asked: “How is the man who followed me?”
Zou Jingping said: “ Dead."
"Ah..." Yang Shan said with a perturbed expression, "I just asked Mr. Hu to lure him away for a while... What about Mr. Hu?"
Tang Su said. : "Among the demon hunters active in Qingtan County, there is indeed one named Qiu Hu, but he is no longer in Qingtan County."
Yang Shan couldn't understand, so he asked: "What on earth is going on?"
"You should have been targeted after you returned to Qingtan County." Wen Guying said, "That group of people should have She is still lurking in Qingtan County, guarding the secret of the nunnery, and wants to kill everyone who has come into contact with it. "
"Is it the female monster?" Orion asked.
“She may not know about it.” Wen Guying answered.
Yang Shan heard the meaning of Wen Guying's words, and he asked: "Taoist Priest, do you recognize that banshee?"
"I understand." Wen Guying said, "I have destroyed her cultivation level and brought her back to her original form."
"It's impossible for her to be completely unaware, right?" Li Chuan said.
After hearing this, Yang Shan knelt down and said, "Please three adults to avenge me."
"Everything will come to light. We are gradually getting closer to the truth," Wen Guying raised his hand. He helped Yang Shan up and said, "Brother Yang Shan, please stay here to recuperate during this period. Try not to go out, in case the person in the dark takes action again. There will be places where you will be needed in the future."
Yang Shan repeatedly assured, saying: "Don't worry, Taoist Master, I'm here and I'm not going anywhere. Whenever you need me, I will try my best."
Zou Jingping said: "Then you have a good rest."
Yang Shan wanted to say something else, and Zou Jingping said: "Since Taoist Wen has promised you, he will definitely do it."
Yang Shan finally nodded.
The group of people then left the wing and went to the main hall where Tang Su's office sat down again.
Tang Su asked people to serve tea and snacks. He said: "When you went to the nunnery, Mr. Zou and I worked together to figure out the situation in Qingtan County. The monster hunters who are still in Qingtan County now, And some people who may be Prince Su.”
"The demon hunter named Qiu Hu used to work for the Demon Hunting Division and had some reputation among the demon hunters. Yang Shan asked him to lure the spies away, and he found the right person." Tang Su said.
Zou Jingping said: "My subordinate is not very skilled, but if he is facing a demon hunter, he should have some way to save his life, or... at least be able to spread the news in time."
"I will find Qiu Hu." Tang Su said, "I'm just afraid that he has also been killed."
"These things will trouble you two," Wen Guying said He looked at Li Chuan and said, "Yang Shan also mentioned the issue of the number of people."
Just as Li Chuan was about to answer, Zou Jingping spoke up first. He said, "The nunnery and the people in the village where they were killed are also here." I have roughly calculated the number of people. Due to various reasons, this number is not accurate, but...but the number of people killed is definitely more than one hundred and sixty-eight. "
"How many people did you count?" Li Chuan asked. Zou Jingping replied: "There are more than 200 people counted."
"Is the upper limit of the illusion realm 168?" Li Chuan asked doubtfully, and then he remembered What he saw in the illusion, he said: "Director Wen, in the illusion, I saw a demon spirit and a man, he should be a god, and saw them sinking the spire into the swamp."
“Let’s talk about it in detail.” Wen Guying said.
"Well, let me think about it." After Li Chuan recalled it, he described in detail what he saw and heard in the illusion. After finishing the narration, he said: "The gods and demons must have failed at that time. They may have some backup plans and some plans... let the spirit beast, that lizard, I think, be the spirit beast of the god clan, let the spirit beast The beast swallowed the spire, then sank into the swamp, looking for that blurred place, and then waited there, waiting for the White Walkers to parasitize..."
"No, when the protoss planted the butterfly spirit into the Tianzhu, they used the technique of parasitism," Li Chuan corrected his idea, "The protoss created an environment most suitable for the parasitism of the alien ghosts, and then... in the long Over the years, countless Devourers have parasitized in the spire, but..."
"That lizard, I doubt it is still alive. The various parts of the spire are stored in its different chambers. Let's go. The pipes it passes through are also part of its body. However, except for Yang Shan, who was parasitized, the others..."
"According to your guess, the first one to be parasitized should be the lizard." Review the past and explain it.
"Also..."
"The lizard should have died shortly after sinking into the swamp, but it still maintained a certain 'thought', which put it in a state of limbo between life and death. The special state provided the most suitable soil for the soul-eating parasitism." Wen Guying continued Li Chuan's speculation: "But as time passed, the unstable place stabilized, and the spire became stable. Gradually rise until..."
"Until he was discovered by Prince Su's people." Yao Shuang continued.
“No, someone, or a demon, should have discovered this place before Prince Su.” Li Chuan connected more clues together, “I think it was not Prince Su who subdued the remnants of the demon clan, but It’s the remnant of the demon clan who chose Prince Su.”
“The soul-devouring souls of Qiu Feng Village may also come from this spire.” Li Chuan speculated.
“It’s very possible,” Wen Guying agreed, “I have a guess that the Devourers in the Spire have some defects for some reason, which makes their parasitic form different from that of the White Walkers. It was later subject to some restrictions, such as the number of people, which prevented it from being able to parasitize without limit, but...why is this?"
"One more thing," Wen Guying continued: "I feel that the spire is. The Devouring Soul is also like a medium. For example, the various illusions we experience are all presented through the changes of the Devouring Soul.”
"I feel it too." Yao Shuang said.
After Wen Guying thought for a moment, he added: "The people lurking in the dark should be able to exert some influence on the minaret. For example, let the vines change into human appearances to lure us in, and lure Yangshan into In the specific illusion, the person mentioned by Yang Shan might be the person lurking in the dark. "
"Do you think Yang Shan was deliberately introduced?" Li Chuan asked.
"Well, the illusion he entered was the only one in which Devouring Spirits had consciousness. I don't think it was an accident." Wen Guying said.
"The man in the secret killed my men and showed his signs. It will be difficult for him to lurk anymore." Zou Jingping said.
"Starting from Qiu Hu, no matter whether he is dead or alive, we can always find some clues." Tang Su also said.
At this time, a man dressed as a demon hunter came in. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Master Tang, there is news from Qinling. It came from the person you asked me to pay attention to."
