Xiaolu suddenly jumped up, shocking the passers-by. Jiang Yuebai waved his sleeves and a gust of wind was raised, and suddenly the sky was filled with dazzling sand.
When the wind and sand dispersed, there was no trace of Jiang Yuebai on the roadside.
The escorts in the tea stalls were dumbfounded, old men on the road pulled their children to kneel on the spot, and there was also a scholar who was about to take an exam, who was so shocked that he couldn't help but compose a poem.
Jiang Yuebai chased Xiaolu for more than ten miles and found Xiaolu in a small woods, wandering around like a headless fly, with no trace of the fast horse and the woman.
Jiang Yuebai also spread out his spiritual sense and scanned the area within a radius of 300 miles, but found nothing.
That woman seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Jiang Yuebai turned back to the official road and looked at the horseshoe prints on the ground. It was indeed interrupted suddenly, which meant that the woman was definitely not an ordinary person.
Seeing Xiaolu's anxious look, Jiang Yuebai suddenly had a feeling that the woman could not be the Wuwei Mountain Man, Lin Jingyue
Apart from her, no one else could make Xiaolu so anxious.
Although Xiaolu is an independent consciousness and not Ye Shiming, the reason why Xiaolu is special is all because of Ye Shiming's obsession that has lasted for thousands of years. As the core of Xiaolu, he provides energy for Xiaolu.
If he were to meet Lin Jingyue, the hermit from Wuwei Mountain, Ye Shiming's obsession would surely be revived.
Jiang Yuebai raised his head, his gaze gradually drifting away along the official road. This road led to Yong'an City in Qingzhou, and the Lin family in Yong'an City was a branch of Lin Jingyue's clan.
Lin Xiangtian and Lin Suiwan are both cultivators from the Lin family.
However, the Lin family's side branches are all bad people and are far worse than the orthodox Kyoto Lin family.
After she rescued Master Shen Jinghao from the Lin family in Yong'an City, she discovered that some people in the Lin family intended to practice evil magic and harm innocent children and women in the surrounding area. The manager of the Taoist temple in Qingzhou of Tianyan Sect once said that he would find a way to quell the matter.
I don’t know if there is still any Lin family in Yong’an City now.
And how likely is it that Lin Jingyue, the hermit from Wuwei Mountain, appears here
Jiang Yuebai had been in the upper realm for these years and had searched everywhere for traces of Wuweishanren, but he could not find any trace of him among the various star alliances. Perhaps Lin Jingyue had returned to the Earth Spirit Realm
Is this also the reason why she suddenly felt something before
Xiaolu returned to its original size and rushed to Jiang Yuebai. Different words appeared on both sides of the lantern.
[Find Her]
[Lock him up]
The lantern vibrated violently, and the phosphorescent flames on both sides were one blue and one red, as if there were two consciousnesses fighting against each other, trying to tear Xiaolu apart.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuebai could only use his spiritual sense to suppress Ye Shiming's revived obsession, but because of the previous stimulation, Ye Shiming's obsession kept emerging.
"If she is really nearby, I will help you find her. Calm down first. If anything happens to Xiaolu, I will never forgive you!"
The lantern was still vibrating and Ye Shiming couldn't hear anything.
In desperation, Jiang Yuebai could only throw Xiaolu back into the lotus world and lock him up on an isolated island.
She also wanted to find Lin Jingyue, fulfill her promise to Ye Shiming, and end this cause and effect.
Jiang Yuebai activated the Mi Chen Seal and instantly appeared deep in the woods outside Yong'an City.
She set up a large formation to isolate and detect, released Yan Hongyu and the long-haired water ghost, and opened the ghost gate of her underworld to release many little ghosts.
"Hongyu, take these little ghosts with you, and use Yong'an City as the center to find this woman for me, and also screen all the suspicious people."
Yan Hongyu took the two paintings and said in distress, "Master, I can't see the face clearly from the back, how can I find it?"
Jiang Yuebai took out the spare Tianyan Sect token and threw it to Yan Hongyu, "Do I need you to look for me? Take the token. If you are stopped by the steward of the nearby Taoist temple, just say that I asked you to lead a hundred ghosts to look for someone."
Yan Hongyu took the token awkwardly, and led the little ghosts to transform into dark wind, blowing in all directions.
Jiang Yuebai transformed himself into a red-clothed knight again and entered the city, taking a casual stroll around.
Yong'an City seemed to have not changed much in decades. The emperor was far away and the old emperor passed away more than ten years ago, but it did not affect here.
However, the Lin family no longer exists. It is said that the whole family was exiled because of the crime of deceiving the emperor. I heard that the Lin family in Kyoto didn't care at all. It was also retribution.
Nothing was found in the city, so Jiang Yuebai found an inn to stay in and waited for news from Yan Hongyu.
Yan Hongyu has no other advantages except that she is very good at finding out things, which can save her a lot of time and effort.
When he had nothing to do, Jiang Yuebai meditated in seclusion, continuing to absorb the excess Yin and Yang thunders in the lotus world, and his cultivation level improved steadily.
Five days later, Yan Hongyu came back covered in dirt, with a bruised face and disheveled hair. She actually ran into the manager of the Taoist temple of Tianyan Sect stationed in Qingzhou and was beaten up.
"… I am really impressed. The cultivation level of the Taoist temple manager is no more than the ninth level of Qi Refining. How can you, a ghost in the early stage of foundation building, be beaten like this with a group of little ghosts?"
Yan Hongyu was aggrieved. "No, it was the old man in the Taoist temple who had no moral principles. He saw that I was a ghost and wanted to kill me without asking any questions. After I beat him up, he actually asked for help and called a cultivator from the Tianyan Sect who was in the late stage of foundation building. That's why I..."
Jiang Yuebai glanced at her unhappily, "Are you trying to show off your power by deliberately not showing your token to bully others at first, and then you hit a wall and showed your token to save your life?"
Yan Hongyu lowered her head and twisted the corner of her clothes, not daring to speak.
Jiang Yuebai shook his head. "Tell me, how is the investigation going?"
Yan Hongyu quickly corrected her attitude, pulled out a piece of yellow paper from her sleeve and placed it in front of Jiang Yuebai.
"There are five suspicious looking people. Widow Li from Xiangyang Town in the east is almost 40 years old, but she still looks as delicate and tender as a teenage girl. In Qingjiu Village in the south is Chun Niang, who is in her thirties and still unmarried. She can lift a large water jar with one hand. And in the west..."
"Just tell me the result. Which one do you think is the most similar?"
Yan Hongyu pointed to the last line on the yellow paper. "Liu Fuyun, the owner of the 'Chanlin Iron Shop' in the north of Yong'an City, is a woman in her early twenties. It is unreasonable for her to run a blacksmith shop by herself. In addition, her blacksmith shop has only been open for two and a half years, but it has already become famous in Qingzhou."
"I heard that someone bought an axe from her, and it was used to chop off a famous sword in the martial arts world. After that, people always came to her to ask her to forge weapons, but she always managed to avoid those people. She would go out for fun for twenty days out of thirty days in a month."
"Master, tell me, how much money can she make from this shop? How did she survive peacefully in the past two and a half years facing so many people from the martial arts world? Unless she is a cultivator!"
Jiang Yuebai had to admit that Yan Hongyu was really good at it, she could spot even the most minor mistakes in the details.
"Where is she now?"
"I was afraid that something was wrong with her, so I didn't dare to go directly to the north of the city to inquire. I just asked the people around me. She just came back not long ago. The shop door was closed. Occasionally, the sound of iron hammering could be heard. She should be at home."
Jiang Yuebai stood up, took out a piece of blood jade meat ganoderma and put it in Yan Hongyu's hand, "You stay here and practice well, and don't come back with a bruised face next time. I'm going to meet that Liu Fuyun."
