"Thank you, Master Shen. Let me start. My surname is Wang and I live in Tiemao Hutong, Yongdingfang. Although my life is hard, it is relatively stable. The night before yesterday, I was fishing on the Jinguang River in the city and I met a few men in black. They were doing something sneaky and I didn't know what they were doing. When they saw me, one of them raised his hand and waved, and I died." The old man said with a sigh.
"Men in black? What are their characteristics?" Shen Luo unexpectedly found the key point when he asked the first person, so he hurriedly asked.
"I didn't see it clearly at the time and I didn't know anything. I didn't notice anything." The old man shook his head.
A trace of regret flashed across Shen Luo's eyes, and he looked at the others.
"Master, my name is Wang Da Kui, and I'm a cook at Qi Zhen Fang in Chang'an City. I was killed by a fox demon at the celebration and didn't see the man in black." said another burly man.
"Master, my name is Li Yong..."
Other souls also reported their names and what they saw last night. It was a bit disorganized and confusing, with no useful information, which made Shen Luo frown.
"Master Shen, let me be clear. I saw a strange situation before the celebration. It was related to the monsters at the celebration. It should be useful to you. But I have a small request that I hope you can agree to." The businessman waited until everyone else had finished speaking before speaking.
"Oh, if you have any wish, just tell me." Shen Luo had long seen that the soul of the merchant knew what was going on. Hearing this, his heart moved, and he did not care about his bargaining behavior.
"Ma has always envied those who practice Taoism and cultivate immortality, but unfortunately I had no chance to meet an immortal master before. After I told him what I saw, I wanted my son to become his disciple. I hope the immortal master will grant my wish." The merchant's soul bowed and saluted Shen Luo.
"Mr. Shen has always been a loner and has never thought about taking in disciples." Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and then shook his head.
The businessman's soul stood there in a daze.
"Although I don't accept disciples, I know quite a few cultivators. As long as your son has decent aptitude, it won't be difficult to arrange for him to join other sects." Shen Luo changed the subject.
"Thank you, Master Shen." The disappointment on the businessman's soul's face disappeared, and he thanked him happily.
"I meet your conditions, you can tell me now." Shen Luo said.
"Of course, of course, Master, I also saw many men in black before the celebration. They inserted many thick iron nails into the ground in a hidden place near Yongdingfang, and a lot of blood flowed from the ground where the iron nails were inserted..." The merchant's soul said quickly, describing what he saw in as much detail as possible.
"Thick iron nails? Blood? Where exactly is that location?" Shen Luo became excited and raised his hand to conjure up a map of Chang'an City.
"It's here." The merchant's soul looked at the map carefully for a while and pointed to a location.
When Shen Luo saw this scene, his pupils flashed slightly. That place was exactly where a crack in the ground was.
"This matter is indeed very important to me. I, Shen, will keep my promise and try my best to lead you to the path of immortality." He nodded.
"Thank you, Master Shen." The merchant's soul hurriedly thanked him again.
Shen Luo saw that he had asked almost all the questions he needed to ask and was about to take these souls away when a beam of light shot out from a distance. It was the Horse-Faced Soul-Catching Demon.
