Chapter 130 Heading to Guyuan Forest

Late at night, Zhou Zhilu put on his night clothes and traveled through Yunjiang City.

He came to a wooden house, secretly opened the window and looked inside. He saw a man standing in front of the window with an expressionless face, his eyes meeting his.

Zhou Zhilu was startled for a moment, and then realized that this man's soul had been devoured and he had turned into a puppet.

"This is the fiftieth one..."

Zhou Zhilu murmured solemnly, saying that ever since he discovered that the Yunjiang prefect had been turned into a puppet, he had been looking around Yunjiang City under the cover of night.

As expected, after just searching the area near Fengmen Inn, fifty civilians who had been turned into puppets were discovered.

But after seeing more of them, Zhou Zhilu discovered that his previous thoughts were a little wrong. These puppets could not be said to be dead.

Because when he used his Mingqing spiritual eyes to observe, the blood and organs in these people's bodies were still moving.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhilu climbed in through the window, but the man standing by the window didn't react at all.

He casually threw the man to the ground and summoned the "Book of Worlds".

The golden book flipped behind Zhou Zhilu until it stopped at a page that read:

"In the 472nd year of the Great Zhou calendar, King Ping of Zhou suffered damage to his soul while battling the demon tribes in the northern border. He was in imminent danger. Taoist Xuanshenzi, sleepless and tireless, traveled thousands of miles from the capital to the northern border in ten days. He used his profound Taoist techniques to save King Ping of Zhou's life and was thus awarded the title of Heavenly Master Protecting the Nation."

A white spiritual energy flowed into Zhou Zhilu's body from the Book of Boundaries. In an instant, his body became slightly hunched, but his whole body exuded an ethereal aura.

Zhou Zhilu was seen stroking the non-existent beard on his chin with his right hand, looking at the man lying on the ground, with a gleam in his eyes.

Several fine needles condensed from spiritual energy appeared out of thin air in his hands and instantly pierced into the man's head.

The spiritual energy extending from the five fingers connected to the fine needles, dancing rhythmically.

However, suddenly, three of the five spiritual threads broke, and the thin needles above the man's head disappeared one after another.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhilu sighed and said, "The spirit soul is missing, the Taiguang among the three souls is damaged, the Yin energy is strong, and the Tianchong soul and Linghui soul among the seven souls are nowhere to be found. The person is like a puppet.

"It is possible to restore the soul with powerful magic, but whether the donor is still the donor is a question that needs to be explored.

"The person who tied the bell must untie it. This old Taoist... there is no other way. Please rest in peace, benefactor."

After saying that, the white spiritual energy returned to the Book of Realm from Zhou Zhilu's body.

Just now, because Ming Qing Lingmu's supernatural power could not observe the soul, Zhou Zhilu temporarily obtained the ability of the Taoist Xuanshenzi with the help of the "Book of Realms" to check the condition of the man's soul.

If it was the real Xuanshen Zi in history, he might be able to do something, but in the end, he was just using part of his abilities with the help of Zhou Zhilu's body.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhilu was just asking for an answer.

"Parts of the three souls and seven spirits are missing, and this state is somewhat like the vegetative state in the previous life.

"In the legend that Madman Chu told me before, the state of the person whose seven emotions and six desires were devoured by the God of Desolation is quite similar to this. However, when I checked with the Book of Realms before, all the possible murderers were ruled out!"

After understanding the situation, Zhou Zhilu rushed to Chu Kuangren's residence.

After checking that no one was around, he knocked on the door gently and rhythmically: "Knock, knock, knock."

When the door opened, Chu Kuangren saw that it was Zhou Zhilu and hurriedly welcomed him into the house.

When Zhou Zhilu informed Chu Kuangren of his previous discovery, he was greatly shocked.

"How could this be? I didn't even notice such an unusual phenomenon?!" Chu Kuangren said with a sense of self-blame. As a member of the Anbu, it was really a dereliction of duty that he failed to discover such an important matter.

Zhou Zhilu consoled him, "It's not entirely your fault. During the day, these people were no different from ordinary people. Even at the banquet at the government office, I was near the Yunjiang prefect and couldn't tell that he had turned into a puppet.

"But from this we can also infer that there must be someone in Yunjiang City controlling these puppets during the day to cover up the strange phenomena."

Upon hearing this, Chu Kuangren nodded, but said with some doubt: "If this is true...this person's strength is probably quite amazing."

He was able to control countless people in the city to lead normal lives with his spirit. Although we don't know how he did it, this person's spirit must be very powerful.

Zhou Zhilu said with some concern, "I think it would be best to notify the Fuye Division immediately and ask them to send reinforcements. It would be even better if the imperial court could send troops."

Chu Kuangren sighed slightly and said, "Even if the imperial court sends troops, they will certainly not dare to approach Yunjiang City because the ancient Bai family is here.

"If the imperial court takes any action that threatens the Bai family, the Li family in the northern border, the Yu family in the western region, and the Mo family in the capital will probably react."

The Bai family...

Zhou Zhilu frowned suddenly. These ancient families stationed around the Great Song Dynasty helped to ensure that the Great Song Dynasty’s borders were worry-free, but they also acted as a check and balance on the Great Song Dynasty court.

The key point is that Zhou Zhilu is not sure whether the current Bai family is related to this case.

According to the verification of the "Book of Boundaries", the people who devoured the souls of the people in Yunjiang City were not the Bai family, but how to explain the various strange phenomena within the Bai family now?

"By the way, do you know where most of the Bai family members are now? When I went there before, I found that there were quite few members of the Bai family." Zhou Zhilu asked.

Madman Chu thought for a moment and took out several bamboo tubes the size of little finger joints from his arms.

"This is a letter box made of Lingxu bamboo. I remember receiving related news before... Got it! Use your spirit to check this."
