Within the jurisdiction of Chihuanghou State, there is only one city, Yannan City, south of Qinghe County.

Obviously, the city in front of them is everyone's destination.

This Yannan City is only one mile square, and to the north of the city is a small lake with a radius of more than ten miles, which is Gray Wild Goose Lake.

Liu Yuanchen had never been here before, that is, he lived for a period of time in Jin'ao Lake, which is more than a hundred miles away.

Gray Goose Lake is also formed by the convergence of several streams, the largest of which is called Hongyan River.

And Yannan City is really built at the mouth of the Hongyan River flowing into Gray Yan Lake.

Soon, the warship landed in front of the west gate of Yannan City. There were only two soldiers guarding the gate.

Apart from that, there was no one else.

Liu Yuanchen thought to himself: "It seems that the mysterious death of the monk has a great impact on Yannan City."

The three of them got off the warship. After Xia Lingkai showed his academy disciple token, he easily entered the city.

The city was also extremely deserted, with only a few shops still open for business.

There were also very few casual cultivators on the street, and not a single living person was seen for a long time.

Xia Lingkai took the lead and headed straight towards a courtyard in the center of the city.

The plaque in front of the small courtyard reads "Zhennancheng Inspection Department".

Nancheng of this town has not yet officially established a county. It can only set up an inspection department according to the specifications of the township.

As soon as the three of them entered the courtyard, a middle-aged man with messy hair came up to them.

Seeing Liu Yuanchen and the others, the big man felt as if he was seeing his relatives.

"We have been waiting for the students from Qingdan Academy to come. There have been mysterious deaths of monks these days, and people in the city are panicking.

Originally, Yannan City was quite lively, but now there are not even a few ghosts. "

"If the problem cannot be solved, I am afraid that Yannan City will become a ghost town."

Xia Lingkai raised his hand and said, "Senior, are you the inspector of Yannan City?"

Hearing this, the big man smiled awkwardly: "The official is Han Shouyang, the eighth-rank inspector of Yannan City."

Normal inspections start from the ninth or positive ninth level, but this inspection in Yannan City starts from the eighth level.

Moreover, this Han Shouyang looks harmless to humans and animals, but in fact he is quite powerful, at least in the middle stage of Condensation Yuan.

Not only that, there was a strong evil aura about him, and there were obviously many lives under his hands.

Xia Lingkai raised his hand and said, "Xia Lingkai, I accepted a mission from the Academy and came to investigate."

Liu Yuanchen and Xia Longting also made introductions, and Han Shouyang was stunned at that time.

After reacting, he hurriedly handed over his hand: "I am incompetent and cannot protect one side.

It is really a sin to cause the Young Master and Young Master Liu to come here in person. "

Xia Longting couldn't say anything serious, so Liu Yuanchen comforted him: "Inspector Han doesn't have to be like this.

Yannan City is the first line of defense against the demon clan, and it is inevitable that it will be plotted by the demon clan.

It is also natural to ask for help from the academy and the government when encountering difficulties.

Hearing this, Han Shouyang breathed a long sigh of relief.

"The lower official has prepared a small amount of wine to help the three young masters wash away their dust."

Liu Yuanchen waved his hand: "Let's not be busy with the banquet now. Let's take a look at the corpses of the monks who died mysteriously."

Han Shouyang did not dare to disobey him and said quickly: "You three gentlemen, please follow me."

After that, he led the three people to a small courtyard next to the inspection department.

At this time, there were more than forty beds in the small courtyard, all covered with white cloth.

There were also bursts of snoring coming from some of the beds.

Obviously, someone was infected, but not dead yet.

Most of the beds were filled with corpses.

Han Shouyang introduced: "These are all monks who have been recruited in the past three days.

As for the earlier ones, I was worried about the corpses rotting and had already sent people to move them to the ice cellar. "

Xia Lingkai quickly walked to a bed where snoring could be heard, and wanted to lift the white cloth.

Han Shouyang quickly organized: "Mr. Xia, it's hard to say how these people were recruited.

The young master's body is worth thousands of dollars, so he cannot take risks. "

Liu Yuanchen stepped forward: "I'll do it. Ordinary means can't hurt me."

Before he finished speaking, an earthy yellow barrier covered his entire body.

He walked to the bed and lifted up the white cloth.

I saw a young man lying on the bed. He looked to be in his thirties and had a rosy complexion.

Liu Yuanchen completely pulled away the white cloth and checked the person's systemic symptoms, but found no signs of poisoning.

He also used his spiritual sense to explore his internal organs, but found no traces of injury or disease.

Human body, qi, blood, magic power, etc., all have a certain blocking effect on spiritual consciousness.

Generally, a person's cultivation level can only be judged from the mana fluctuations on their body surface.

If this person is good, even if he is just a Qi-nourishing monk.

It would take a lot of effort for Liu Yuanchen to explore his internal organs.

However, this person fell into a comatose state, and all his magic power was concentrated in the middle Dantian and did not wander outside.

Therefore, Liu Yuanchen's spiritual consciousness can easily penetrate.

As for the sea of ​​consciousness, he did not dare to forcefully explore it with his spiritual consciousness.

If one were to forcefully penetrate into his sea of ​​consciousness, even if he could be rescued, his intelligence would be severely damaged.

He sighed softly: "Except for the sea of ​​consciousness, I have explored his entire body.

It was not poisoning, and there were no internal or external injuries. "

Zhang Lingxu is both the Dan King and the Poison King.

He regarded Liu Yuanchen as the successor of his mantle, and naturally he also passed on some of his poison-playing methods.

Liu Yuanchen himself also tried to refine poisons. For example, he collected many poisonous spiritual plants in the Ten Thousand Demons Blessed Land, and he used those poisons to refine the soul-breaking incense.

Liu Yuanchen could still tell whether this person was poisoned or not.

Seeing that he had finished the inspection, Han Shouyang also sighed softly.

“When there were first mysterious deaths, I sent people to check the bodies.

That man was a widower and had extensive experience in autopsy.

He checked for a long time but couldn't find anything abnormal.

Finally, he split the deceased's head open and carefully inspected the brain, but could not find any injuries. "

Xia Lingkai pondered for a moment: "In this case, it should be a matter of soul.

It's a pity that An Changsheng is not here, otherwise, he should be able to find some clues. "

An Changsheng is good at attacking souls and has considerable experience in monitoring souls.

But as the crown prince of a country, how could he come to a remote place like Chihuangyuan?

At this moment, a burst of fragrance came.

Han Shouyang was shocked and quickly covered his nose.

"Young masters, be careful, this aroma may be poisonous."

Among the piles of corpses, there is a sudden fragrance, which scares everyone.

Liu Yuanchen took a sniff and said, "This is the smell of women's powder, it's not poisonous."

Moreover, he had smelled this kind of fragrance before. It was the smell of powder used by Liang Qingyue and his group.

After releasing his spiritual consciousness to investigate, he found Liang Qingyue and others arriving in front of the inspection department.

Xia Longting ran out quickly: "Junior sister Liang, I am here, and Inspector Han is also here."

Seeing him here, Liang Qingyue frowned slightly, with a look of disdain in her eyes.

But when she heard that Inspector Han was also in the nearby yard, she had to walk over.

A group of four people walked into the courtyard and saw the corpses all over the courtyard. Three of them were frightened and quickly retreated.

Fortunately, as monks, they didn't yell when they were in danger like ordinary women.

Otherwise, it would probably scare everyone in Yannan City.

Only Liang Qingyue didn't care and walked straight into the courtyard.

Seeing this situation, Liu Yuanchen couldn't help but take a high look at Liang Qingyue.

As expected of a monk who lives in border areas all year round, he is quite courageous.

Liang Qingyue looked at the monk Liu Yuanchen had just checked: "May I ask Senior Brother Liu, how is this person's condition?"

Sure enough, he wore a mask and lowered his cultivation level, but it still had no effect.

Liu Yuanchen answered truthfully: "It's not poisoning. I checked every part of the body except the sea of ​​consciousness and found no injuries."

Hearing this, Liang Qingyue's cold voice sounded: "Since Senior Brother Liu said so, the problem should be the soul."

Xia Longting quickly praised: "Junior sister Liang is really smart as ice and snow, and my uncle just guessed the same."

Liang Qingyue didn't even look at him, she just looked around the entire yard.

Xia Lingkai asked: "I remember the Lingyue Secret Code of Lingyue Sect, which focuses on cultivating the soul.

May I ask Junior Sister Liang if she has a way to check the soul's injuries without damaging her sanity? "

Liang Qingyue just nodded slightly: "I have a similar method, but it's not easy to use now. I'd better wait until nightfall to check again."

Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen immediately understood.

Liang Qingyue possesses the Qingyue Spiritual Body, and the technique she practices is the Spiritual Moon Secret Manual. Naturally, it can be most effective at night.

Han Shouyang also said quickly: "Since we can't find out what's going on now, let's wait until tonight to deal with the matter.

I have already given a banquet to welcome all the high-ranking disciples from the academy. "

Liang Qingyue waved her hand: "No need, just find us a quiet place to rest."

The situation in Yannan City is unknown, and no one dares to eat here easily.

Naturally, Han Shouyang did not dare to say anything, and quickly arranged for everyone to stay temporarily in an empty house in the backyard of the Inspection Department.

In the evening, a full moon rose into the sky, spreading silver light across the earth.

Liu Yuanchen and others walked out of the room and went to the morgue next to the inspection department.

There were corpses all over the yard, which looked particularly strange under the moonlight.

Liu Yuanchen felt a little uncomfortable, so he took out the wind and thunder stick from his storage bag and held it tightly in his hand.

A female student who was traveling with Liang Qingyue saw the wind and thunder stick and asked quickly: "Brother Liu, is this the legendary wind and thunder stick that killed the demon king's remnant soul?"

Liu Yuanchen said coldly: "The smell of powder on your body scared us earlier.

We are on a mission, don't mention irrelevant things. "

The female student was scolded a few words, but instead of showing any displeasure, she actually had a look of admiration on her face.

Liu Yuanchen sighed secretly: What kind of weird thing is this?

He was about to step forward to check on the sleeping man before.

Han Shouyang said quickly: "Mr. Liu, be careful, we can determine the time when several monks were attacked.

Without exception, it's all at night. "

Liu Yuanchen nodded slightly, and an earthy yellow barrier instantly appeared on his body.

Then he walked forward and saw that this person was still sleeping, but his breathing was obviously much weaker.

The energy, blood and mana fluctuations are lower than during the day.

After some investigation, no problem was found.

"No problem found."

Liang Qingyue walked to a place illuminated by the moonlight and slowly started to use the technique.

Soon, her whole body was wrapped in a layer of milky white light.

Immediately afterwards, the light shed by the full moon condensed into threads and continuously poured into her body.

Her whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of silver gauze, and under the moonlight, she really looked like a holy fairy in the moon.

Then, all the light gathered in her hands and turned into a milky white mirror.

She held the mirror and looked at Liu Yuanchen: "Brother Liu, please protect me."

Liu Yuanchen nodded slightly, and streams of mana continued to be injected into the wind and thunder stick.

If something pops up, be ready to hit it with a stick.

Liang Qingyue was already ready at this time, looking at the sleeping monk with the mirror in her hand.

Then, she closed her eyes, frowned, and even her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

From the looks of it, this method seems to be quite costly.

About forty corpses in the courtyard suddenly burst out and came towards Liang Qingyue.

Liu Yuanchen had been prepared for a long time, and the wind and thunder stick in his hand was already filled with dazzling thunder.

Then, his entire body turned into an afterimage, constantly shuttling among the corpses.

Everyone could only see a blue-white lightning flashing through the corpses, and dull blows kept coming.

After a while, about forty corpses were lying on the ground upright, with their messy hair stretched straight out.

The three female students watching the battle had expressions of admiration on their faces, but they did not dare to speak.

Xia Lingkai said softly: "In just a few years, Junior Brother Liu's strength has improved so much."

Liu Yuanchen used Wind and Thunder, but now he can send and receive it freely.

Not only can he use the power of thunder to destroy everything, but he can also control the power of thunder.

Make these corpses incapacitated without leaving any substantial damage.

At this moment, Liang Qingyue suddenly opened her eyes: "Something is eating this person's soul."

Hearing this, everyone felt a little hairy.

Xia Lingkai quickly asked: "What is it?"

Liang Qingyue shook her head slightly: "I don't recognize it, so please take a look at it together."

After that, he turned the mirror to everyone.

At this moment, a picture appeared in the mirror.

In the mirror, the body of the sleeping monk was almost transparent.

In the center of his eyebrows, there were many black flesh insects the size of ants, constantly eating a thick white mist.

Xia Longting looked curious: "Uncle, what is that insect eating?"

Xia Yuling replied: "That is the life soul of a person. Before the monk is in the Soul Condensation Realm, the soul is not formed.

The seven souls are scattered throughout the body and control various functions and actions of the body.

Among the three souls, the two souls of heaven and earth are always outside. Only the soul of life is always stationed in the sea of ​​consciousness and directs the seven souls to do things. "

"The life soul is controlled by these insects, the seven souls lose their command, and the human body will naturally fall into a deep sleep.

When the life soul is gone, the seven souls have no owner, and the body will die. "

"It's just that this bug is quite weird. I've never heard of it."

Liang Qingyue continued: "My Moon Soul Mirror can see the soul.

All real objects will be blurred in the mirror, but the soul will become particularly solid.

In fact, those bugs have no entity, they are all souls. "

Hearing this, Xia Lingkai seemed to have some realization.

After he pondered for a long time, a look of realization appeared on his face: "I remembered, this is the Soul-Eating Ghost Gu.

This thing feeds on living souls, and when foraging, the souls will leave the body.

In the state of soul, he penetrates into the sea of ​​consciousness of other living beings and constantly eats their souls. "

"Humans are born with powerful souls and are the best targets for soul-eating ghost Gu."

"In the history of the human race, this kind of thing has only appeared a few times, and every time it caused huge casualties."
