Chapter 268 The story behind

Chapter 268 The story behind

After discussing all the plans, Fang Zijian went to the inn at dusk on the pretext of preparing other measures.

For Fang Zijian, there is still a lot of time.

When you are not absolutely sure, you need to take it slow and steady.

Back at the inn, Grandma Wu seemed to have known that Fang Zijian would come back. With a kind smile on her face, she welcomed Fang Zijian to the Tang Dynasty.

"Mrs. Wu, is my junior sister back?" Fang Zijian asked.

"The immortal master's junior sister has returned a long time ago and is fiddling with something in the house." said Grandma Wu.

Fang Zijian nodded and bowed his hands to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Aunt Wu."

After saying that, Fang Zijian headed towards Song Baiyi's residence.

After knocking on the door, Fang Zijian pushed the door open after Song Baiyi nodded.

"Senior Brother Fang, you came at the right time. I collected a lot of clues during the day, and many people said that the existence of the evil shadow is closely related to that legend." Song Baiyi said.

After saying that, Song Baiyi organized the notes in her hand and handed them to Fang Zijian.

Fang Zijian frowned and took a look.

Sure enough, in most people's minds, the appearance of the evil shadow is closely related to the legend of Yulong Lake.

Moreover, these materials contain a deeper description of the legendary stories.

"I heard from rumors that many people said that the woman in the story did not succeed in committing suicide, but was saved by the young master of that family. Later, the young master of the family knew that the woman had a fiancé, so he fabricated the news of her death and used the token of love on the woman to make the man give up."

"In the end, the man was buried in Yulong Lake. The news reached the woman, causing her temperament to change drastically. She deliberately tried to please the young master of the family. She took advantage of him by surprise late at night, killed him, and fled to Yulong Lake."

"However, the woman was weak and was captured by the family guards before she could escape from the city. After being captured, the woman went crazy and was eventually killed by the family guards."

When Song Baiyi said this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad for this woman.

Being arrested was a tragedy in itself, but what happened afterwards was even more tragic.

"Legends are just legends after all, and we can't believe them completely." Fang Zijian put down the things he had collected and said in a deep voice.

“But the evil shadow in Xiaoxue City seems to be the product of the accumulated resentment of that woman, exactly the same as Yulong Lake.” Song Baiyi said.

Hearing this, Fang Zijian seemed to be thinking about something.

You can't believe all the rumors, but you can't disbelieve them either.

At least now the evil shadow is so powerful and his resentment is so deep that it does seem to be closely related to the legendary story.

But even if the stories are true, how should we deal with them? "Assuming these stories are true, where is our breakthrough point?" Fang Zijian asked.

"Of course it's the dead woman." Song Baiyi said, "According to the description in the story, most of the resentment absorbed by those evil shadows came from that woman. As long as we find the source behind those evil shadows, the evil shadows in Xiaoxue City will also be cut off at their roots."

Hearing what Song Baiyi said, Fang Zijian shook his head.

"Not to mention how difficult it is to execute, so far, we only know the whereabouts of the evil shadow. How easy is it to find him?" Fang Zijian said.

"That's why we need to pay more attention." Song Baiyi explained.

After hearing this, Fang Zijian didn't know what to say.

According to his idea, the most important thing now is to solve the current problem.

The evil shadow is now threatening the safety of many people. They should prioritize solving the problem of the evil shadow instead of looking for a female evil spirit whose existence is unknown.

Just as Fang Zijian was about to continue discussing how to make the decision, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Fang Zijian turned his head and looked.

At this time, Wu Po said with a kind smile: "Two immortal masters, there is a young man outside who wants to invite you to have a meal together."

Young master?

When they came to Xiaoxue City, they didn't know anyone except Grandma Wu, let alone any young master.

Could it be that the young master of the Hu family yesterday was still unwilling to give up and planned to personally come to Song Baiyi? "Sorry, we still have important things to deal with. Please ask Aunt Wu to tell us that we thank the other party for his kindness." Fang Zijian said finally.

"In fact, I think that the two of you can go together. That young man has an extraordinary bearing and I believe he is very powerful. Maybe he can help you solve the problems in the city." Grandma Wu explained.

"Oh? Why do you think so, Mrs. Wu?" Upon hearing this, Fang Zijian became interested.

"Maybe you two will understand if you go and meet him," said Grandma Wu.

The two thought about it and finally agreed.

With their current strength, they would still be able to protect themselves even if they encountered a powerful person in the fusion stage, so why would they be afraid of a secular person? It just so happened that they had some differences in opinion. If the so-called master could really solve the problems in the city with them, they could meet him.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After agreeing, the two followed Grandma Wu to the lobby.

In the empty lobby, a young man in white sat conspicuously at a large table.

At the same time, this big table was filled with delicious dishes, and there was one bowl of wine after another in his hands. There was even a bit of heroic spirit on his handsome face.

This person is Jiang Ming after his appearance has been changed.

When they saw Jiang Ming, they both looked him up and down, but did not notice anything different.

However, judging from the first impression alone, this young man in white does have a somewhat distinguished demeanor.

After bringing the two of them in, Grandma Wu went downstairs with a smile and prepared bowls and chopsticks for them.

As a senior brother, Fang Zijian immediately walked up, sat next to Jiang Ming, and inquired about Jiang Ming from a closer distance.

"Brother, we should have never met before, right? Why did you invite us two?" Fang Zijian asked.

Faced with Fang Zijian's question, Jiang Ming did not answer immediately, but drank a bowl of wine and put down the bowl happily.

"I didn't invite you two, I wanted to invite everyone in the entire inn!"

"It's a pity that you two are the only ones living in this inn right now. Others don't have this blessing."

Jiang Ming smiled and handed over a jar of wine, saying, "Come! Meeting is fate. How many good friends can we make along the way in life? After drinking this jar of wine, we can be considered to have met once!"

Seeing Jiang Ming being so heroic, Fang Zijian took the jar of wine, then put it aside without drinking it.

He didn't come out to see this man just to eat and drink.

If he didn't want to know more about the evil shadow, he really wouldn't want to have much contact with other people in the secular world.

"I heard that you know something about the legends in the city. Could you tell me?" Fang Zijian asked with a smile.

"It's just an evil shadow. Drink this jar of wine and I will tell you slowly later." Jiang Ming said, patting the other person's shoulder.

Does this person really know about the evil shadow?

Hearing this, Fang Zijian became a little unsure.

The words spoken by this young man in white sounded like he was drunk, but it also sounded like he was being spoken to him seriously.

But, no matter what, if there is a clue, then drink it!
