At this time, the dozen or so inner guards that Kong Yuhui brought had already knocked down all the guards in the Yu Mansion, but luckily they didn't kill anyone.

He raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, but few of the guards could stand up anymore.

"Since I'm Lin Xiandi's teammate, I'm the one who was abrupt this time, so I'm so sorry."

His expression remained the same, he was still indifferent, he just turned sideways and whispered a few words to an inner guard, the latter listened and turned around to give those guards who were beaten one by one some broken silver as compensation .

With a smile on Yu Chang's face, he really breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xin felt a little bad at this moment, and entered the room under the leadership of Shu Luoyi.

In the room, a red bead curtain is used as the door, and a red carpet painted with gilt peonies is spread inside. Table and chair furniture should all be woven from dark brown polished unicorn wood.

It's just a middle-aged woman with her eyes closed lying on the ground, with a large mole on her forehead.

Lin Xin recognized at a glance that this was the mission target he was looking for on this trip. He didn't remember the specific name for a while, but just looked at the woman carefully.

At this time, the target had fallen into a coma, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his face was pale.

"The pupil has dilated, but it's not dead yet, and I don't know what's going on." Shu Luoyi frowned.

Lin Xin looked at this person's appearance, and suddenly thought of the appearance of the fried pancake grandmother he saw earlier, and the two situations were very similar.

He couldn't help being startled, and turned to look at Kong Yuhui.

Sure enough, Kong Yuhui's face was serious at this moment, his brows were furrowed, and he shook his head slightly at him.

"Brother, this matter is difficult..."

"How to say?" Lin Xin didn't speak, but Shu Luoyi asked first.

Kong Yuhui shook his head, just looking at Lin Xin.

"My dear brother, it seems that you can't avoid it. It's inconvenient for me to participate in this matter. However, the fifteen foreign masters under my command here can all be entrusted to you."

He paused.

"This matter is a matter of position, sorry."

"It's okay." Lin Xin didn't force him to tell the inside story, "You have your difficulties."

"I suggest that you take this person directly back to the sect and hand it over to the people above." Kong Yuhui said softly, "Of course this is just a suggestion."

"I don't think so, how could I just go back like this?" Shu Luoyi said coldly, "If you don't want to make more troubles, why don't you leave?"

Kong Yuhui was taken aback, looked at Shu Luoyi, then frowned, cupped his hands at Lin Xin, turned and left.

Lin Xin was also puzzled, but since Kong Yuhui had reserved manpower to help him, it was obvious that he had unspeakable difficulties, so he didn't force it.

After Kong Yuhui left, the leading one among the fifteen masters of horizontal training stepped forward and clasped fists at Lin Xin.

"Wang Meng is waiting for your son's orders!"

"You go out first. Let's check the situation." Lin Xin nodded.

"yes."

After everyone went out, Lin Xin turned to look at Shu Luoyi and Yu Chang.

"what happened?"

It was only then that Yu Chang hurriedly explained the cause and effect, and it was only now that he knew clearly that one of the two was Kong Yuhui's friend, and the other had a deep background, neither of which he could afford to offend, so he simply kept his attitude very low.

It turned out that as soon as the two separated from Lin Xin, they sent people to the area where the mission was mentioned, but found that the person had long since disappeared. In the next few days, the two relied on people from the Yu Mansion to search everywhere, but nothing happened. It was not until yesterday that they could find traces of this person, but as soon as they found her, they saw her lying on the ground unconscious.

"I guess, this Duan Qi is likely to be being chased and killed, so she has to change her position quickly, otherwise she won't leave without waiting for people from the sect to come to meet her." Shu Luoyi said seriously.

"It's possible." Lin Xin nodded, "I asked my friend, and he was unwilling to talk about the epidemic situation in this city. I guess it is very likely that Duan Qi is related to the epidemic in this city."

"Epidemic?" Yu Chang's complexion changed, "You mean this epidemic occurs every year for a while, is there some inside story?"

Lin Xin didn't say much, but took out a resentment talisman from his pocket.

"I took this with me before, and saw a man who died of a plague, and a very strange bee came out of his ear."

"Bee?" Shu Luoyi was taken aback for a moment, and then her face became a little weird.

"A bee with six wings and two legs."

When Shu Luoyi heard this, her expression became even more strange.

She looked around, as if to make sure that no one was listening.

"If I'm not mistaken...."

She quickly took out a high-level resentment talisman from her bosom. This kind of talisman paper can only be obtained during the Qi refining period, and it is generally not available to those without background.

After injecting inner energy, the high-level resentment talisman immediately burned slowly.

Under the puzzled eyes of the two, she slapped the paper talisman on Duan Qi's forehead on the ground.

"Hold on."

Lin Xin vaguely guessed what would happen.

Sure enough, in less than half a minute, a blood-stained six-winged bee slowly crawled out of Duan Qi's ear hole.

Lin Xin shook his hand and was about to draw his sword, but was blocked by Shu Luoyi.

"Don't do it!"

Yu Chang also hurriedly stopped drawing his sword.

Shu Luoyi found a piece of wool paper for calligraphy practice from the desk in the room, and also stuck an ordinary resentment talisman on the back, and flicked it to make it burn.

Then, she covered the bees that had just crawled out of the ground and wrapped them in a paper bag rolled up with paper.

"As long as you use the resentment talisman to seal it continuously, it will last for a day and a night. Let's first ask about Duan Qi's situation."

Lin Xin took out a Ganlin Talisman, injected his inner energy and slapped it on Duan Qi's body.

This talisman paper is really easy to use. When the Ganlin talisman was half burned, Duan Qi slowly woke up. But she looked sluggish, as if she had been eaten by bees and became a little stupid.

"Huang Ji....Huang Ji...clothes....shop...." Duan Qi kept muttering and repeating a word.

"What? What did you say?" Shu Luoyi moved closer and listened carefully.

"Huang... Ji... Clothes shop... Clothes shop..." Duan Qi looked dull, obviously stupid.

"Huang Ji Clothing Store? He seems to be talking about this." Yu Chang repeated.

"Do you know this place?" Lin Xin looked at him.

"If we heard correctly, Huangji Clothing Store should be the largest clothing store at the gate of the north of the city. It seems that no other clothing store in Peacock City dares to use this name." Yu Chang explained.

"Ask her again, what else will she say?" Lin Xin looked at Shu Luoyi.

The latter nodded, and continued to approach Duan Qi to ask questions. But she found that Duan Qi's eyes were wide open, her mouth was open and she didn't move, and she died just then.

"This..." Yu Chang was a little dumbfounded.

Shu Luoyi didn't say anything, and went up to search her body, and found a strange blood-colored copper coin on Duan Qi.

This copper coin is different from ordinary copper coins. Not only is its color blood red, but the pattern on it is not the year number of Song Dynasty, but four characters.

"Four people's money." Shu Luoyi picked it up and looked at it.

"What is this?" Lin Xin asked puzzled.

"What's the homonym?" Shu Luo casually said without raising her head.

"Dead money?" Lin Xin immediately understood.

"Let's go, go to Huangji Clothing Store, the clue here is broken." Shu Luoyi calmly said.

"Shouldn't we go directly to the sect to report?" Yu Chang felt a little weak.

"Go away if you're afraid." Shu Luoyi said impatiently. "Did you cringe, what big deal did you accomplish?"

"I... ."

"What are you looking for?" Lin Xin looked directly at Shu Luoyi.

Unexpectedly, Shu Luoyi revealed a mysterious smile.

"If you are brave enough... I have a big opportunity to give you here. I am afraid that you will not dare to do it."

Lin Xin's heart skipped a beat.

"What chance?"

Yu Chang also showed interest on his face and listened attentively.

"It's a good thing that allows me to directly enter the innate. No... not just that... such a big scene, maybe the effect will be even stronger!"

A strange color flashed in Shu Luoyi's eyes.

In the north of the city, Huangji Clothing Shop.

The dilapidated gray and white two-storey building stood quietly in front of Lin Xin and the others.

The plaque hanging above the door is tilted to one side, and the four characters of "Huangji Clothing" can still be seen vaguely.

The sky was gloomy, and the doors and shops were closed all around the lonely clothing store. There were white silk hanging everywhere around, and white paper money was everywhere on the ground.

With the sound of the wind, the paper money immediately rolled and danced.

The two sides of the clothing store were filled with piles of construction waste at some point, mud, sand, bricks and soil mixed with broken round wooden pillars, and dirty and tattered fabrics could be seen faintly inside.

"This is Huangji Clothing Shop?" Shu Luoyi asked doubtfully. "Yu Chang, are you leading the wrong way?" She held the paper bag tightly in her hand and pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand.

"Absolutely not!" Yu Chang said categorically, "I often came here to make clothes when I was a child, and I definitely didn't take the wrong path. It was fine just a few years ago."

"Maybe it's infected with the disease." Shu Luoyi guessed when she saw the white silk hanging beside the garment shop.

At this time, an old beggar in ragged clothes came over with a smile on the opposite side of the clothing store.

"Hey, three... Do me a favor... If you want to know the situation of this store, I can tell you about it."

"You're clever." Shu Luoyi covered her nose in disgust, and threw a few big coins to him.

Lin Xin and Yu Chang also each gave some big copper coins and threw them into the broken bowl he was holding.

"Hey, thank you very much." The old beggar shook the broken bowl and immediately smiled.

"Tell me. What's going on with this clothing store?" Yu Chang also couldn't stand the stench emanating from this guy, so he hurriedly asked.

"Speaking of this Huangji clothing store, we have to start with a strange incident that happened a few years ago." The old beggar looked around mysteriously and lowered his voice.

"What strange thing?" Shu Luoyi frowned.

"That's right, it's been reported that the clothes in this clothing store are like people and can move..." The old beggar said in a hoarse and numb voice.

"In the middle of the night, a suit of clothes in the clothing store will move around by itself, as if... as if there are some invisible people, wearing them and moving freely..."
