Crazy?
Seeing Shopkeeper Kong's appearance, Li Yan's face suddenly darkened.
He didn't really have any friendship with Shopkeeper Kong, but he helped him take the lead in settling matters before, and now he wants to recruit this little brother Kong Shangzhao into the gang.
Now that this has happened, how can I still explain it to others?
He looked to the side Wang Dao Xuan.
Wang Dao Xuan suddenly understood and whispered, "If you want to investigate, you must first break the law."
They are still using their superb escape skills at the same time. If they want to find out the problem, they must use other methods, which will inevitably remove the escape skills and alert the jailers.
Li Yan and Wang Dao Xuan looked at each other and nodded slightly.
No words are needed, the tacit understanding arises on its own.
This is not a place to stay for a long time, and we must use thunderous means to find out the reason!
"Disperse!"
Wang Dao Xuan gave a low drink and turned around to spin his robe.
As Five Directions Fengdu Banner was retracted, the black mist suddenly dissipated to the surroundings.
Almost at the moment when his body was exposed, the cold air in the cold dungeon surged, and the wooden Peach Charms hanging on the stone wall at the door also cracked into pieces, alarming several jailers who were dozing off.
"Who?!"
Several jailers were so frightened that they subconsciously touched their swords and blew the police whistle.
However, their movements were as slow as freezing in Li Yan's eyes.
I saw Li Yan exerting force under his feet and suddenly jumped out.
He had already entered Pellet Strength, and he practiced hard every day without stopping when he was Qiankun Academy. Even the newly obtained treasures were all used to repair Great Luo Dharma Body, so he made rapid progress and his Pellet Strength had already become perfect.
As your kung fu improves, your body skills will naturally become stronger.
His movement technique is a fusion of the Martial Arts technique of "Close to the End of the World" and Yu Bu of <North Emperor Swift Travel Technique>. It has already shown the rudiments of martial arts. It can be performed as fast as thunder and unpredictable.
Whoosh!
The figure flickers like a ghost, even leaving an afterimage.
With just one breath, the man had already crossed a distance of several feet and bullied several guards.
Bang bang bang!
The knife was not unsheathed, but the handle of the knife was used to tap the "Jade Pillow Point" on the backs of several people's necks like lightning.
These jailers didn't even see their figures clearly, so they rolled their eyes and collapsed.
At the same time as Li Yan acted, Wang Dao Xuan also removed the method of transporting the five ghosts.
He pulled out the dagger, cut off the chain, and quickly walked into the cell.
"I don't want to become an immortal, let me go!"
Shopkeeper Kong, who looked like a crazy person, pounced on him and scratched him.
Wang Dao Xuan did not panic, pinched the "Jingxin Jue" with his right hand, slapped it forward, and printed it on his forehead.
Shopkeeper Kong stiffened and stopped.
And Wang Dao Xuan took advantage of the situation and raised his left hand, pointed it like a sword, and pointed it at his heart "Chest Center Point". At the same time, he muttered the words: "The spirit is calm and the evil will not invade, I!"
A gentle Daoist Qi rushed in, and Shopkeeper Kong, who was struggling frantically, felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and the chaotic bloodshot eyes receded slightly, replaced by a blank void, leaving only the "ho ho" gasping from his throat.
He stopped attacking, but ignored everything in front of him.
Wang Dao Xuan frowned slightly, overthrew it, and laid it flat on the straw with a solemn expression.
He first opened Shopkeeper Kong's eyelids and saw that his pupils were dilated and dull, and then checked his wrist pulse.
"How's it going?" Li Yan also came over at this time.
Wang Dao Xuan took his pulse and stroked his beard and said, "The pulse is as thin as a hairspring, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, chaotic, like a frightened bird, or like a lamp running out of oil. It is definitely not caused by ordinary fright or drugs..."
"Soul damaged?" Li Yan's eyes flashed.
He doesn't know Daoist medicine, but he knows a lot after seeing a lot.
"Hmm."
Wang Dao Xuan nodded, pinched Yang Seal with his left hand, and moved his right fingers together in front of his eyes.
"The sky is clear and the earth is bright, the mysterious light reflects the truth, the deep cave is tiny, and the eyes of wisdom open quickly!"
This is the "transparent method" in <Five Chapters Divine Secret>.
Wang Dao Xuan has already awakened Eye Mystical Power. With this method of blessing, you can see more.
Once the spell was completed, he rubbed it with his fingertips, and a faint golden light seemed to flash through his eyes.
Under Li Yan's gaze, his face became increasingly ugly.
After a while, Wang Dao Xuan put away Mystical Gestures, stood up and shook his head. "Trouble, I lost my soul!"
"Shopkeeper Kong's seven souls are still there, but the 'human soul' among the three souls of heaven, earth and man is missing."
"The human soul controls the spiritual consciousness and travels around the yin and yang senses. It seems to have been forcibly taken away! No wonder it looks like a fool. Kong family master may be able to detect the instability of the soul, but it is difficult to locate this bizarre 'lost soul' because it has disappeared after leaving the body. Ordinary soul-calling methods may not be effective!"
"This must be a witchcraft, and the technique is extremely clever and sinister!"
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Can I find it back?"
"There is a way!"
Wang Dao Xuan nodded and looked around again, "But there is too much movement, so that's not possible here."
Sneaking into the cell to investigate would not alert the authorities and take the person away, but it would be a serious crime of robbing the prison.
If you are an ordinary person in the world, you should weigh the importance of everything you say.
But how could Li Yan be afraid of this?
"Let's go before we make any big noise."
Without any hesitation, Li Yan immediately stepped forward, grabbed Shopkeeper Kong's arm, and with a clever flip, the opponent involuntarily flew into the air and was carried on his back.
Wang Dao Xuan also cooperated tacitly, took out a few Yellow Talisman from his arms, and walked beside him.
Soon, the two of them rushed out of the cold cell corridor.
"Who!"
The two night watchmen Yamen Runner heard the sound and ran over with lanterns, their astonished faces reflected in the dim light.
Wang Dao Xuan Without stopping, he waved his wide sleeves, and the two talismans between his fingers spontaneously ignited without fire, turning into a thin blue smoke that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and spread instantly.
Yamen Runner They suddenly staggered, their eyes became distracted, and the lanterns in their hands fell to the ground with a clang.
In the blink of an eye, he collapsed to the ground, snoring loudly.
This is a simple enchantment technique, perfect for dealing with ordinary people.
"What a thief! Don't leave!"
Just as they were about to leave, there was another loud shout and an explosion.
But I saw a man wearing an indigo blue policeman's uniform with a waist hanging four feet Wild Goose Feather Blade, flying from the rooftop in the distance, and then made a vertical leap, like an eagle swooping down from the shadow of the corridor eaves.
His body movements were neat and swift, and before the sword was even taken out of its sheath, a strong cold Solemn and Killing Intent wind was whistling down.
Naturally, not all the public servants are mediocre.
This person is none other than one of Jinan Prefecture's masters, "Wind Chasing Goose" Zheng Kun. With his sharp Yanling sword and his body skills, he has captured countless criminal thieves and is quite famous in the Qilu rivers and lakes.
He was on duty tonight, and he didn't expect to meet someone who dared to rob the prison!
In prison... it seems that the only one in prison is Kong family.
If you make great achievements, you will surely prosper in the future!
Thinking of this, his eyes sparkled, and he locked Li Yan who was carrying Shopkeeper Kong. He had already grasped the handle of the knife with his right hand, and with a Leap of the Falcon in the air, the knife came out with a roar and stabbed Li Yan in the neck.
Of course, he is just Hidden Strength, how can he hurt Li Yan.
Li Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he moved back, just in time to avoid it, and at the same time, he blocked Shopkeeper Kong and Wang Dao Xuan, and then raised his leg to hit Heaven Facing Kick.
Bang!
A huge force came and Wild Goose Feather Blade was blown away.
This Zheng Kun is also experienced. When he saw this, he immediately withdrew his sword and withdrew his strength. At the same time, he used this force to fly out diagonally. He rolled up on the ground, raised his sword horizontally, and said in a cold voice, "How dare you..."
Before he finished speaking, a furry palm as big as a cattail leaf appeared next to his head.
As neatly as hitting a watermelon, he slapped it away, rolled on the ground for more than ten times, and completely fainted.
Bang!
"Hehe~"
Wu Ba touched his bald head embarrassedly and ran towards Li Yan.
Sha LiFei was also holding a firearm, squatting on the wall and smiling evilly at them.
However, a few people realized something was wrong and came to help.
Li Yan didn't talk nonsense, and handed Shopkeeper Kong to Wu Ba to carry, and the group quickly disappeared into the darkness...
At some point, it started to rain lightly again.
Clang clang clang!
The harsh sound of gongs cut through the rain curtain, instantly alarming the entire Jinan Prefecture.
The first ones to rush over in a hurry were the Attendant masters from the Kong family faction.
Kong Zhenyuan's troops arrived almost at the same time as those under Kong Zhenlin's command. Sparks flew as their eyes met, and they both suppressed their hostility.
They rushed into the prison and looked extremely ugly when they saw the cell door that had been violently broken open.
They don't care whether the person is dead or alive, but Shopkeeper Kong is the key "witness" in the case. Being kidnapped means that the controllability of the case itself has dropped sharply, and the fight for Yansheng Duke's position has also changed.
It is more likely that it will even be used as a new attack point.
The two groups were on guard against each other while eagerly trying to find some clues at the scene.
Immediately afterwards, the master of the Mingde Academy also arrived.
The visitor is a middle-aged Confucian scholar who is a direct disciple of Grandmaster Lu HongYuan.
He was ordered by his teacher to supervise this matter to prevent the two factions from getting into trouble.
After getting the news, he came over in person. Although he walked calmly, his brows were furrowed.
"What are you doing!"
Seeing the tense confrontation between the Kong family factions, the middle-aged Confucian scholar even looked ugly and scolded him.
Jinan Prefecture's magistrate's officials, big and small, also came running with lanterns, and they were all frightened.
This incident was a disaster for them.
For Jinan Prefecture public masters, it is even more shameful and humiliating.
The police officers in charge of prison security came out in full force, and all the city's elite police officers also came.
Looking at the huge slap marks on the faces of the rescued "Wind Chasing Goose" and Zheng Kun, everyone's face was ashen.
At the same time, Commandery Commandant Office from Qilu Qianhu Institute and Xu Cangsong from the Enforcement Hall also "arrived late."
Xu Cangsong arrived at the scene and his eyes swept over the scene like a falcon. He paused for a moment on the broken cell door and the remaining traces of the spell, then closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Commandery Commandant Office's Qianhu's face was as dark as water. He listened to his subordinate's low-pitched report, and his eyes briefly met with Xu Cangsong's.
They already knew it in their hearts.
Who can have such martial arts and methods, and be proficient in such weird arts, and more importantly, be interested in Shopkeeper Kong and even be willing to rob the prison? Apart from Li Yan and his team who have just joined Jinan Prefecture, who else can there be?
However, they are not fools either.
Rejecting Li Yan is not giving you face, and at worst, you won't have any dealings with him in the future.
But if you interfere in this matter, you will end up with a big feud!
Chengdu Prefecture, Luoyang City, Twelve Yuan Chen is Corpse Mountain, the vicious man running rampant in the sea of blood.
Therefore, Commandery Commandant Office and Enforcement Hall's people simply made a survey record at the scene. Commandery Commandant Office Qianhu walked up to the head of the prefect's Yamen and said with a straight face, "This matter is strange. The prison robbers are highly skilled in martial arts and well versed in evil arts. They are not the work of ordinary thieves. You will continue to investigate closely. If you have any clues, report them to our company immediately!"
"The government should do its best to block the news to avoid public panic, and should not jump to conclusions easily to avoid alerting the public."
This sounds like an order, but in fact it is a clarification and delay, and the ball is kicked to the prefect's Yamen.
Xu Cangsong added coldly, "The traces are mixed, let me distinguish them carefully."
Having said that, he said nothing more, acting like a master who stayed out of the matter and only focused on the "evidence".
"Hmph!"
The middle-aged Confucian scholar Mingde Academy snorted coldly when he saw this, but there was nothing he could do to them. He turned to the Kong family crowd and the Yamen officials and said, "Go and check!"
"Even if Jinan Prefecture is turned over, we still have to find him!"
"Quickly, put the person down!"
The candlelight flickered, and Shopkeeper Kong was placed on the bed in the dim Wing Room.
Kong Shangzhao Seeing his father looking haggard and laughing crazily, his eyes turned red and he burst into tears.
"Don't worry."
Wang Dao Xuan pressed his shoulder, and the faint light of <Five Chapters Divine Secret>'s "centering seal" circulated between his fingers, comforting him, "Brother Kong, calm down, your father's soul was taken away by evil magic, there is still hope."
"Daoist Priest, please take action!" Kong Shangzhao quickly bent down and handed over his hand.
"My brother, there is no need to be polite."
Wang Dao Xuan said in a deep voice, "It took a long time to be rejected. It is difficult to induce the ordinary soul-calling magic circle, but it is not impossible to solve it!"
As he spoke, he took out the tortoise-shell copper coins and made a quick calculation, then kept looking at Shopkeeper Kong's eyelids and stroking his beard and said, "If there is a way, we need to set up a 'Three Yin Soul Return Altar' to gather century-old peach wood cores as soul-drawing flags, Rootless Water to transform evil spirits, and mix grains to make people's wishes work together to make rice basins... When the Yin and Yang are in harmony, we can use the technique of chasing souls and attracting souls to trace the origin!"
"But these things must be prepared."
Fatty Lin next to him said quickly, "Jinan Prefecture should be available on the black market 'Ghost Fan Tower', I'm familiar with it!"
Bang bang bang!
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of banging bangs outside the window, and the sound of barking dogs and horse hooves ripped through the rainy night.
Everyone lifted the curtains to peek and saw torches like dragons on the long street.
The armored Yamen Runner was holding a musket, and the Confucius Attendant masters were blocking the road with weapons.
The Mingde Martial Hall brothers followed behind the Yamen Runner brothers, kicking away their neighbors to question them.
Everyone looked at each other and closed the windows.
They had expected this noise. They just had to wait until the wind calmed down tomorrow, then quickly prepared things and left the city to perform rituals.
The merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have an extraordinary status. Even Prince De's Residence often visits them, so they would not be found here normally.
However, many things always go beyond expectations.
The search operation continued until dawn.
Jinan Prefecture's public masters became fierce, and with the support of the Confucius Mansion, they went directly to Three Religions and Nine Schools in the city.
In the Yuanji Satin Shop, the shopkeeper of Cemen was held in the corner and was sternly interrogated by the master of Kong family...
Cao Gang, the chief helmsman, was led by Jinan Prefecture yamen "Mountain Piercing Hawk" Li, who came directly to the door for questioning...
In the Five Elements Mule and Horse Shop, Attendant master "Gold Back Blade" Zhao Meng sent by Kong Zhenlin broke in, slapped the counter with the back of his knife, and fiercely ordered the waiters, grooms, and footmen to reveal any outsiders with secret whereabouts...
In short, the entire South City is stirred up.
Brokers who sell information, people who sell stolen goods, and gangsters in the East West Market all suffer.
In the end, they still found the clue.
West Traveling Beggar Gang's old Beggar Chief was originally a low-ranking figure in the world, but he had many beggars and was well-informed. After he came to ask for a hundred taels of silver, he left singing Lotus.
"Hey! Jianghu people, merchants from the north and the south."
"The master who came from the treasure ship is busy staying in the hotel. Room No. B in Tianzi... and he is carrying a serious illness..."
Only half an hour!
The yamen detectives were holding iron ruler chains, the Confucian slaves were carrying swords, guns and clubs, and Mingde Academy's disciples were wearing long swords and short maces. They surrounded Jiangzhe Merchant Guild from all directions...
