Qiao Shoumin and Li Chan.

That day, I didn't go back, but stayed in Liuxian Tower for one night.

Waiting until dawn, the two of them got up in the red and green trees, but they heard the noise in Liuxian Tower. Qiao Shoumin loved the excitement, so he went to inquire about it. When he came back, he looked lonely and lost his mind.

Li Chan asked curiously: "Why is Brother Qiao looking like this?"

Qiao Shoumin replied: "I don't know why everyone, Sun, suddenly disappeared. The steward of Liuxian Tower has reported it to the government, but the government has no clue, which is really disturbing. If you can tell me, who kidnapped Qingya , I will definitely not let it go with him."

When Li Chan heard this, he was also quite melancholy. He had also been accustomed to romance for a long time and knew that the brothel girl suddenly disappeared. She either ran away with someone or was kidnapped.

The former is fine, but the fate of the latter is unpredictable.

A head catcher who was inquiring about the case in Liuxian Tower had a lot of sighs on his face. After questioning him, he left with a few catchers.

One of the detectives couldn't help but asked: "Captain Yu! This case is quite fishy."

Capt. Yu shook his head and said, "Don't ask any more questions! Recently, there have been several major cases in the neighborhood, including sudden deaths of entire families, and inexplicable disappearances of people. There are no clues. Such strange cases are definitely not... We can solve the problem. With our little ability, we can catch some thieves and protect the safety of the neighborhood. It is not easy. We should wait for the superiors to send people. For such a big thief, even if we find the murderer, there is no way we can wait. "

Capt. Yu still had something to say but didn't dare to say it. He even suspected that there was a demon in Yangzhou Mansion recently. But if he said this casually, once it spread, it would make people panic. It would be difficult for him to seduce people For the crime, this official body is about to be stripped off.

What's more, there is no evidence, so how can we make random speculations?

There was a lot of commotion here in Liuxian Tower, and Qiao Shoumin and Li Chan were not in the mood to continue looking for flowers and willows.

Li Chan wanted to go home, but Qiao Shoumin was a fun-loving person, so he stopped him and said, "We might as well go to Xuqingyuan and have a drink with Jingyu, the younger brother. The scenery there is great and it can relax your mind."

Li Chan had no choice but to call a sedan chair and come with Qiao Shoumin to visit Wang Chong.

Wang Chong sent Sun Qingya away yesterday and never saw anyone else. He only practiced in Xiaoyi Lianxing Tower. He had already mastered the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and wanted to master the Twelve Serious Meridians as soon as possible.

The Seven-Two Shape Refining Technique is quite different from the Emei Heart Technique. Emei is a pure sword cultivation method that originated in the Jin Dynasty and flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties. The Qi Refining Technique that disciples of the Emei Sect started with is the Sword Technique, which uses sword energy to penetrate the meridians of the whole body. .

For example, Mo Huer practiced Shaoyang Sword Technique after becoming a disciple.

The ancestors of Tieli from Xichuan Dulong Temple are of the same lineage as immortal martial arts. In addition to practicing Qi, they also practice boxing and temper their muscles and bones to get closer to the ancient monks.

Ling Suer left in a hurry and did not expect that this disciple would be able to refine the meridians all over his body in just a few months. Therefore, he only taught the Qi refining method, and did not teach the boxing method to cooperate with the Seven-Two Form Refining Technique. He did not even mention it. and this matter.

Naturally, Wang Chong didn't know how to practice after the Seven-Two Refining Technique penetrated the eight extraordinary meridians and the twelve regular meridians.

He practiced all night and had breakfast in the morning. Not long after, he heard that Qiao Shoumin and Li Chan were visiting. He was also surprised and hurriedly welcomed them out.

When Qiao Shoumin saw Wang Chong, he sighed and shouted: "Brother Tang! Do you know that something big happened in Liuxian Tower last night? Someone kidnapped the Sun family."

It took Wang Chong a moment to realize that Qiao Shoumin was talking about Sun Qingya. He smiled secretly in his heart and asked softly: "Have you reported to the official position?"

Li Chan also looked a little sad. The talented man said in a low voice: "I heard that there have been several strange cases in Yangzhou recently. For example, there was a family outside the south gate, with a family of sixty-seven, who suddenly died suddenly. , even chickens and dogs died violently. Another example is Sanjia Village outside Yangzhou. It originally had more than 70 households, but at some time, five or six households were missing. The villagers found out that there were missing people, and they had not had time to report to the official. Two more families are missing..."

Wang Chong was slightly startled when he heard this. He suddenly remembered the case where more than a hundred people from the Huayi Gang were killed when he was in Chengdu Mansion.

He didn't care at that time, and it wasn't his fault. Besides, he was born in a demon sect. Ordinary people died hundreds of times, but it was just considered ordinary.

When I think about it now, I have some vague thoughts, but they are just vague.

Wang Chong thought secretly: "The Huayi Gang's case was in Chengdu Prefecture. This is Yangzhou Prefecture. It's thousands of miles away. How could there be any contact? It must be just a coincidence. To be able to kill so many people so easily, just I’m afraid someone in the practice might take action.”

Qiao Shoumin and Li Chan didn't have much of a clue. They were invited inside by Wang Chong and sat down in Xiaoyi Lianxing Tower. They tangled up what they knew and talked to Wang Chong casually.

These two people didn't want to ask Wang Chong for advice, they just wanted to talk to him to relieve their worries.

Wang Chong also knew that the two of them were not here to ask for his help. After chatting with them for a while, he ordered his servants to arrange a banquet.

After all, Qiao Shoumin and Li Chan were romantic talents. They sang poems and songs at the banquet and gradually forgot their worries.

Qiao Shoumin stayed in Xuqingyuan until night and refused to leave. He even dragged Li Chan to hold candlelight talks with Wang Chong.

Wang Chong thought that he still had to "transform" Li Chan, and he would not miss a day or two of practice. If he could get closer to him, he would be able to fool Ling Suer in the future, so he was happy to persuade him to stay.

After some persuasion by Qiao Shoumin and Wang Chong, Li Chan had no choice but to send someone back to report the news, and he also stayed in Xuqingyuan.

Qiao Shoumin and Li Chan stayed overnight, and Wang Chong asked someone to hold a banquet in the garden. The three of them drank until the tops of the willow trees rose above the moon, and then they dispersed.

Wang Chong arranged accommodation for the two of them and returned to Xiaoyi Lianxing Tower, only to see Yan Beiren waiting downstairs.

Wang Chong couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's the matter with Mr. Yan?"

Yan Beiren said solemnly: "There are some things that I didn't want to tell the proprietor, so as not to bring trouble to the young master. Today, I accidentally heard three gentlemen talking about the recent strange cases in Yangzhou Mansion. Beiren happened to know the secret, and thought It’s been a long time, so I’d better tell the young master.”

Wang Chong pondered slightly, then said with a smile: "If it can be explained clearly in a few words, Mr. Yan will come upstairs with me to talk about it!"

Wang Chong rested on the seventh floor, the highest. He invited the Yanbei people to go to the top floor together, and the guests and hosts sat down separately.

The little fox Hu Suer served fragrant tea and some refreshments, all of which were made by the cooks in the mansion and were quite exquisite.

The people of Yanbei knew that the little fox was close to Wang Chong and that Hu Suer could explain the flower god Gangsha to his father and daughter. He thought that this little fox must have received some teachings from Wang Chong and was also a member of the Taoist sect, so he did not shy away from Hu Suer.
