Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 343 Helmsman (XIV)
Four or five days later will be the day of the full moon, and the time is very consistent, so it can be basically concluded that Su Yao was taken away by the host of corpse insects as a reserve ration.

The biggest question now is where the corpse insect host is hiding. Su Yao disappeared the day before yesterday. If it is the corpse insect host in the foundation building period, two days is enough for him to travel half of Wu.

Ordinary corpse worm hosts know that they are weird, and they dare not stay in the local area for fear of being recognized by others. Therefore, they wander around and commit crimes at random. It is difficult to determine their identity, and it is even more difficult to find them.

While Tangning was thinking, the stone door opened again, and a dark-faced man pushed the door in, "Senior Brother Wang, are you calling me?"

"En." Wang Ming nodded: "Junior Sister Lu told me just now that three monks have disappeared in our jurisdiction for no reason in recent days. Do you know about this?"

"I heard that Zheng Tiancheng from our intelligence station is also missing, as well as Su Yao from the Su family. The two families are sending people to search." The man said
"I have reported this matter to the Zongmen. Maybe the department will send people to investigate. You should go and investigate immediately. The monks who have recently come outside our jurisdiction have picked out a few suspicious people for secret surveillance. I will go to the Su family and the Zheng family to inquire about the situation. , Don’t wait for the department’s uncle to come down, we’ll ask you all the questions.”

"Understood, I'll go now." The man said, and left the room.

Tangning also quietly withdrew. After traveling for several miles, she emerged into her own body and disappeared.

.....................

Xuan Ting Mountain is more than ten li long and wide, the mountains are rolling and rolling, and the top is shrouded in clouds and mist. It is the residence of one of the local tycoons, the Su family.

A ray of light shot from afar, passed through the clouds and mist below, and landed in front of the row upon row of mansions. The visitor had a handsome face and a slightly thin figure. It was Tangning.

He inquired about the location of the Su family's mansion along the way, so he came here directly, intending to ask the Su family about the situation.

As soon as the light fell, a man stepped on a flying sword and approached him. He looked at him vigilantly and asked, "I don't know who the senior is? Why are you coming to my Su family's mansion?"

"I have something important to meet with the Patriarch of your family, so please let me know."

"Senior, please wait a moment." The man said, and he walked away with the flying sword, and he came to a majestic and majestic hall, stepped inside quickly, and bowed to the middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in the hall: "Uncle, there is a Foundation Establishment cultivator visiting outside, saying that he wants to see you on something important."

The man opened his eyes from the meditation, and frowned slightly: "Do you know who it is?"

"The visitor did not report his name"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a while: "Invite him to come!"

"Yes." The man replied, and after leaving the hall, Yu Feijian came to Tangning's side not long after, "Patriarch, please come in and meet me."

Tangning followed him to the main hall, and said to Su Zhongrui, the Patriarch of the Su family who was sitting upright, "I'm taking the liberty to bother you. I hope Fellow Daoist Su will not be offended."

Su Zhongrui also got up and returned the gift: "Fellow Taoist, please take a seat."

Tangning sat down as promised.

"I don't know why you came to our mansion?"

"To be honest, I'm Tang Ning, a disciple of Qian Yizong's intelligence department, who came here to track down a wanted criminal. I heard that a son of your family disappeared for no reason the day before yesterday. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Tangning didn't hide anything, she truthfully told her identity and purpose of coming, and handed him the Zongmen Token.

He had lingered in the gambling house for a few days before, and kidnapped Zheng Tiancheng, a son of the Zheng family, and now he is also involved in the investigation of the corpse host. Sooner or later, the Qingyang sect will know that there is such a person, and it will be clear after a little investigation, so there is no need to hide it.

Su Zhongrui was a little puzzled when he heard his self-reported family identity. He didn't know why the disciples of Qianyizong came to him. He immediately took the token, and went inside with his spiritual sense to confirm his identity.

"There is indeed a disciple missing in the mansion. I don't know what it has to do with the noble sect, but he troubled Fellow Daoist Tang to travel thousands of miles to come here?"

"Our sect's pursuit of that felon is very special. He practiced a strange technique and only fed on the flesh and blood of monks. I searched for clues all the way to this place. I heard that someone in your house was missing. I suspected it was him. So I take the liberty to bother you." , I don’t know if you have any clues?”

"Tang Daoyou said that this person's technique is to suck the flesh and blood of monks, but the missing child of our mansion did not die, and her soul stone is still intact and has not been extinguished. If this person really did it, it is estimated that she has died at this moment. Killed."

"Fellow Daoist Su doesn't know that this person's practice is very special. He must eat the flesh and blood of monks during the full moon, otherwise he will be backlashed. Therefore, the child of your mansion is not in danger for the time being, but once it is dragged to the full moon day, it will become the food of the thief."

Hearing this, Su Zhongrui's complexion changed slightly: "So that's the case, thank you Tang Daoyou for telling me. In the past few days, my Su family has also sent many people to search outside, but so far we haven't found any trace of the thief."

"What is the cultivation level of the missing child of your mansion?"

"It's just the fifth level of Qi Refining."

"Do you know where she disappeared?"

"I don't know the exact location, but it must be on the way back from Cangyun Ridge. The day before yesterday was my third younger brother's [-]th birthday, and all the children in our house came back to celebrate his birthday. But she didn't come, so we know her missing."

"I don't know which places the monks in your family have searched for these two days?"

"The main thing is to search all the way from Cangyun Ridge to Xuanting Mountain."

"Is there no clue at all?"

Su Zhongrui said: "My third younger brother is fully responsible for this matter, so I don't know the details. Right now, my younger brother is still leading people to search for it. Maybe after he comes back, I don't know if there will be some gains."

Tangning pondered for a while, "I have a heartfelt request, I hope you can agree to it."

"Fellow Daoist Tang, it's okay to say."

"I hope to cooperate with the monks in your residence to search for the whereabouts of the thief."

"This..." Su Zhongrui hesitated for a moment, he knew very well in his heart that the so-called cooperation was just to use their manpower and contacts here to facilitate things: "I don't know what cultivation level that thief is?"

"They are a strict cult organization called Immortal Sect. As far as I know, the leader is a monk in the middle stage of foundation establishment. The tenth-level monks. The rest of the people are not worthy of the Tao, and are not eligible to be taught this exercise."

Tang Ning didn't know what the man's cultivation was, but she couldn't reveal his secrets, so she brought in the undead teacher, "The person I'm following is a Dharma protector, but I've never met him, so I don't know if it's Qi refining or Foundation building." Monk."

"Okay! Since Fellow Daoist Tang is so trustworthy, I will work together to find the thief." Su Zhongrui heard that the other party might be a foundation cultivator, so he agreed without hesitation.

One more person is more strength, and if there is a hand-to-hand fight with that thief, with the help of Tangning, a mid-stage foundation builder, he will always be more confident.

What's more, this matter did not cause any loss to them. The purpose of the two parties was different. One was to find the Su family's children and save the Su family's face, and the other was to catch the wanted criminal.

"It's not too late. I hope to join your search team immediately. Two days have passed, and the thief still doesn't know where he went."

"Since that's the case, I'll personally send my fellow Taoist to meet my younger brother's search team." Su Zhongrui got up and said, and the two of them left the hall, turning into light and flying into the sky.

After traveling for less than an hour, they came to the top of a hundred-foot-high mountain, where several men and women were conducting a blanket search of the entire mountain.

However, there were many almost transparent and unknown objects floating up and down the mountain, which resembled silkworms, and the monks and monks were following these silkworms to search for them.

The two of them came out of the light and showed their figures. A woman rushed over to greet Su Zhongrui and bowed respectfully to Su Zhongrui.

"How's the investigation going?" Su Zhongrui asked
The woman replied: "In the past two days, I have searched all the way from Cangyunling to Xuanting Mountain for hundreds of miles, but I have not found any trace of Yaomeier. The third uncle ordered me to expand the search area, and I will be responsible for the search. Search this area."

"What are those?" Tangning asked, pointing at the wandering transparent silkworms.
Su Zhongrui said: "They are colorless worms that are summoned. These creatures are very sensitive to strangers and have a strong perception ability. They can perceive people within a radius of [-] feet. Therefore, they are used to search for traces of people in the deep mountains , which can greatly improve the search efficiency.”

Tang Ning nodded. The perception of a radius of [-] feet is basically comparable to the range of spiritual consciousness of a monk in the middle stage of foundation establishment, while the area covered by the spiritual consciousness of a qi refining disciple is only three or four feet.

As expected, these cultivating families still have some treasures. Last time when Qi captured the host of corpse insects, it was Su who searched with red-haired and green-eyed dogs and helped them find Wang Xuan.

"Where is Kang Cheng now?"

"Third Uncle led most of the people and went west to search." The woman replied

"Well, keep searching, don't miss any clues," Su Zhongrui said, and headed west with Tangning.

Half an hour later, they arrived at a mountain range that stretched for dozens of miles, and the Su family's children scattered all over the mountain range to search.

In the distance, a ray of light shot towards the two people, and soon arrived in front of them, showing the appearance of a middle-aged man, tall and thin, serious and unsmiling.

"Zhong Rui, why are you here?" The man glanced at Tangning while speaking, "Who is this fellow Taoist?"

"Kang Cheng, let me introduce you. This is Daoist Tang Ning who came from a long way from Gan Yi Zong. He is tracking down a serious criminal, and this person is the thief who kidnapped Xiaoyao. Fellow Daoist Tang hopes to cooperate with us to arrest Catch that thief." Su Zhongrui said: "Young Daoist Tang, this is my brother-in-law Su Kangcheng."

"A disciple of Yizong?" Su Kangcheng frowned.

"That's right." Tangning repeated what she and Su Zhongrui had said, and finally asked, "Have you found any clues, Fellow Daoist?"

Su Kangcheng glanced at Su Zhongrui, and said slowly: "That person should not be a Foundation Establishment cultivator."
