Chapter 412 Bait
But I didn't expect Zuo Wanqiu to go to such lengths to bring up the bait, and Tieshi Niu wanted him to be the bait!
Duan Qing sighed helplessly after thinking for a moment. "This matter is dangerous, let Duan go with fellow Taoist Zuo!"
Even though Tieshi Niu was behind him, Black Stone's methods were strange, and it was inevitable that something unexpected would happen.
It was safer to have him with Zuo Wanqiu.
The most important thing was that if he really wanted to lure out Black Stone, with him, the possibility of Black Stone appearing would be much higher.
After all, he had provoked Black Stone twice, and it was impossible for him not to hate him.
Zuo Wanqiu's charming eyes curved into crescents when she heard this, and she was indescribably happy in her heart.
"Okay, let's do as fellow Taoist Duan said!"
Duan Qing cared so much about her safety, which made her feel that her efforts were not in vain.
After explaining the situation to Duan Qing, Zuo Wanqiu returned to her room and waited for Tieshi Niu's notification.
Although she did not tell Tieshiniu where she was, he believed that with Tieshiniu's means, it would be easy for him to find out her whereabouts as long as he wanted to.
Not long after Zuo Wanqiu left, Lin Ziyu came to find Duan Qing again and asked about the situation.
Duan Qing told Lin Ziyu about the general situation and told her to stay in the house.
Lin Ziyu was quite reluctant about this, but she thought that there would be no danger with Tieshiniu's help, so she had to agree.
About an hour later, a young man in the late stage of the Questioning Heart Realm of Xiaomeng Sect came to the house to inform Zuo Wanqiu and asked him to go to the west gate of Dameng City to meet Tieshiniu as soon as possible.
Zuo Wanqiu explained a few words to Lin Ziyu and Yu Fan, and then went to the west of Dameng City with Duan Qing and the young man.
In order not to attract attention, the three did not fly, but walked all the way to the west gate.
Under the leadership of the young man, the three walked all the way to the west gate of Dameng City, about two miles away, in a dilapidated Taoist temple.
When they arrived at the place, Duan Qing found that in addition to Tieshi Niu, the young woman surnamed Lan from Yunmeng Sect, who he had met at the city gate that day, was also present.
And she also brought two female disciples in the late stage of the Questioning Heart Realm.
Tieshi Niu saw that there were not only Zuo Wanqiu but also Duan Qing, and he could not help but glared at the young man who led the way.
The young man felt very wronged. The elder asked me to invite the girl surnamed Zuo, but did not say that I would only invite one person. How could I know what you were thinking!
Seeing this, Zuo Wanqiu hurriedly explained: "This is my companion, Fellow Daoist Duan. It was Fellow Daoist Duan who told me about the Black Stone! And Fellow Daoist Duan has some grievances with the Black Stone. With Fellow Daoist Duan accompanying him, the possibility of leading the Black Stone is much greater."
"Junior Duan Qing, meet Senior Tie and Senior Lan." Duan Qing bowed to the two at the right time.
Tieshi Niu's face looked a little better after hearing what Zuo Wanqiu said.
"Zuo said that you told me about the Black Stone. I guess you have been to the Ten-Li Ghost Forest?" Tieshi Niu narrowed his eyes, looking interested.
Duan Qing nodded. "That's right. I came from Yuezhou."
"Then do you know why Black Stone could leave the Ten-Li Ghost Forest?" Tieshi Niu asked.
Duan Qing pondered for a while. "According to my speculation, Black Stone should have mastered some method to get rid of the ghost body!"
This conclusion was drawn by him based on what Black Stone did in the Ten-Li Ghost Forest and the second meeting, and he seemed to be unrestrained by the outside world.
But he was just speculating about this, and there was no solid evidence.
If it wasn't for gaining Tieshi Niu's trust, he wouldn't have said this illusory speculation.
Tieshi Niu fell into deep thought after hearing this.
He thought Duan Qing's statement was very likely.
If Black Stone really had a way to get rid of the ghost body, it would not be surprising that he could get out of the Ten-Li Ghost Forest.
Considering that Black Stone had committed many evil deeds in the Great Dream City, those female monks who died tragically were probably the key to the Black Stone Method.
Duan Qing's words almost completely dispelled Tieshi Niu's doubts about him.
However, considering that Lan Mengdie from the Yunmeng Sect was also present, Tieshi Niu couldn't jump to conclusions.
"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Lan, should we do?" Tieshi Niu turned his head and looked at the middle-aged woman Lan Mengdie beside him.
Lan Mengdie's eyes scanned Duan Qing several times and nodded slowly. "No problem, let this kid act with Jun Lan and the others."
As soon as Lan Mengdie finished speaking, Duan Qing hadn't spoken yet, Zuo Wanqiu hurriedly thanked Lan Mengdie and said, "Thank you, Senior Lan, for your help."
Tieshi Niu grinned. "Okay, that's it! This time, to lead out Black Stone, the two nephews of Fellow Daoist Lan, as well as Zuo Yatou and Duan Xiaozi will act together."
Lan Mengdie nodded slightly, indicating that she had no objection.
After deciding who lured the black stone, Tieshi Niu's face gradually became solemn, and he reminded everyone.
"I declare in advance that this matter is of great importance. It concerns hundreds of people who died unjustly in Dameng City. It cannot be sloppy at all. You must not take it lightly."
As soon as Zuo Wanqiu left, he immediately went to the dense forest a hundred miles west of Dameng City according to what Zuo Wanqiu said, hoping to find the corpse of the murdered monk and let Ouyang Yu of Baimeng Sect perform the dream-seeking method to see if he could use it to track the trace of the black stone.
But to his disappointment, although there were indeed traces of fighting in the dense forest, there was no corpse.
In desperation, he returned to Dameng Sect and found Lan Mengdie of Yunmeng Sect, telling Lan Mengdie about the black stone, hoping to join forces with her to capture the black stone.
Lure the black stone is of great importance, and he can't let Zuo Wanqiu go alone, but the two disciples he brought with him are both men.
Compared to asking Lin Kedi of the Dameng Sect to borrow manpower, he would rather join forces with Lan Mengdie, and Yunmeng Sect happened to be composed entirely of women.
It is now impossible to track down Heishi with the help of the murdered female monks. At present, it is almost the only hope to catch Heishi and lead him out.
Therefore, Tieshi Niu is very interested in this operation.
"Don't worry, Senior Tie, I and Fellow Daoist Duan will do our best." Zuo Wanqiu patted Tieshi Niu's chest and promised.
It is related to whether she can get rid of the great threat of Heishi for her beloved Duan Qing. For this operation, she values it more than anyone else.
Tieshi Niu glanced at Zuo Wanqiu with satisfaction. "Okay, then you guys act now, and Fellow Daoist Lan and I will follow secretly."
Hearing this, Duan Qing frowned slightly and hurriedly stopped him. "Wait a minute, Senior!"
When Duan Qing said this, almost everyone present cast a doubtful look at him.
Seeing this, Duan Qing was not panicked at all, and said in an orderly manner: "Based on my understanding of Black Stone, Black Stone is unlikely to attack during the day, and it is too early to act now."
What he said was not groundless, whether in the Ten-mile Ghost Forest or in the Great Dream City.
Black Stone always attacked at night, and never attacked during the day.
He believed that this was not accidental.
Even if he left the Ten-mile Ghost Forest and seemed to be unrestricted by the external environment, the sunlight during the day should still suppress him.
Therefore, in his opinion, there is no possibility of luring Black Stone out if he acts now.
