Chapter 14 Chapter 14
The place where Ling Suye buried the spiritual jade seems random, but it is actually very particular.
——This is the place with the weakest spiritual energy in the entire City God Temple. It is very close to the outer gate and is overgrown with weeds. It is a treasure trove that is completely impossible to be used as a treasure hiding place.
Moreover, right below the stone is the floor drain passage of the City God Temple. It is not big, but it can definitely accommodate a few people fighting.
If there was someone in that group of men in black who was as sensitive to spiritual energy as he was, Ling Suye would have become a sitting duck by carrying the spiritual stone with him.
Therefore, he chose to bury the spirit stone here, so that the spiritual energy of the entire City God Temple could be attracted and reproduced, which could at least temporarily deceive the person who sensed the spiritual energy for a while.

The 'Mr. Stone' around them woke up one by one. They sensed a familiar breath around them and immediately started crying.
"You guys came to pick me up, does that mean I'm not dead, not dead?!"
"I will not participate in this gambling stone competition. I abstain."
"I abstain too."
"I'm not going to participate anymore. I want to go home. Woohoo, Mom and Dad, I'm so scared."
As the sounds of renunciation rang out, the prefect Zhao Qisheng, who was still holding the two portraits in his hands, finally woke up from his dream. He immediately ordered people to dig up the grave in the City God Temple.
——According to the oral statement of 'Mr. Shi' Ling Wuming, the seventh grave contains one of the robbers!
He must be dug out and thrown into a mass grave!
The yamen runners were all frightened by the evil spirit inside the City God Temple last night, and Ling Wuming looked particularly terrifying when he came out covered in blood.
Therefore, they rarely felt any sympathy for these frail 'Mr. Stone' who had endured such a miserable night, and their voices softened. "You should all follow your attendants out to rest first. The governor will make the final decision on the rest."
The prefect, Zhao Qisheng, asked the county magistrate to take care of Mr. Shi on his behalf: "Please take good care of them. Everything else will be settled after I finish handling the case."
The county magistrate quickly responded, "Yes, sir."
The ZY prefect brought most of the yamen runners to dig the grave. Ling Suye casually helped a "Mr. Shi" out. He himself could not see, but he had sharp hearing and kept his eyes down, so he could not see anything wrong.
However, the men in black missed the sight of Ling Suye, and even Gu Xuanyou was missing!
The man in black who had just promised the Lord that "if I can't do it, I'll be beheaded" lost all color under his mask, but he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately went back to report to the Lord.
"Sir, Ling...that Wuming is missing, and his subordinate Gu Xuanyou has also disappeared. Also, the people we sent out before the demon domain dissipated are nowhere to be found." The man in black nodded his forehead to the ground, sweat dripping all over.
Earlier, when he saw the prefect Zhao Qisheng and the people rushing into the City God Temple, he was worried that they would bump into the people he sent.
I didn’t expect that all his people were gone!
The adult's drinking of tea obviously paused, but he still looked confident of victory.
"They can't get far."
He put down the teacup, and the water spilled onto the table. "In that case, let's release the ghost dog."
"Yes." The man in black went out to do it immediately.
Ling Suye first smelled a scent of his own blood, not strong, but definitely not faint.
After a while, he was shocked to realize that these people had been plotting against him for a long time - they tore off a piece of cloth from his bloody clothes.
Without either him or Gu Xuanyou noticing.
This made Ling Suye's heart alarm bells ring.
Even if the enemy is in the open and he is in the dark, the enemy still has the means to easily crush him to death.
It was just that at that time they still wanted to use Ling Wuming to get the spiritual jade given by the monster, so they did not kill him, but only cut off a piece of his bloody clothes.
The ghost dog smelled the scent on the bloody clothes, patrolled the crowd, and turned its head in a distant direction, as if thinking, was it this smell in the crowd, or the strong smell of blood in the distance?
But the ghost dog owner didn't consider the crowd at all. He shouted, "Are you not leaving yet?"
The ghost dog immediately spread its legs and ran away.
The men in black lurking around immediately followed.
Ling Suye listened to their footsteps fading away before he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

In a luxuriously decorated carriage.
After the man in black left, the gentleman suddenly took out a golden needle and stabbed it hard into the nail of his left middle finger.
Soon, a drop of bright red blood dripped from the tail of the golden needle and landed on the golden nanmu low table.
With a "tick-tock" sound, blood dripped onto the nanmu wood table, but it did not turn red, but disappeared.
The master glanced at it and pushed the golden needle a little further into the finger!
Another drop of blood fell in.
But the nanmu table still showed no reaction.
Then, the third drop, the fourth drop... until the seventh drop of blood fell, a bloody mark suddenly appeared on the nanmu table.
The adult was delighted and looked over intently.
He saw the bloody streak stretching straight ahead in front of him, then turning to the right and then stopping.
The adult felt a little strange, but still believed in the secret method he learned from the Ling family.
——This is the best method to guide him in finding the spiritual jade.
He looked at the route that went straight and then turned right, and used his index finger to estimate how many steps he should take.
After everyone around him left, the man bit his fingertips and covered the trail with blood. After a breath, the nanmu wooden table was back to normal.
The gentleman changed into the coarse clothes worn by ordinary people and got off the carriage.
It just so happened that at this moment, the prefect Zhao Qisheng led a large group of people to dig graves, and the county magistrate arranged for the yamen runners to comfort the frightened "Mr. Stone". No one paid attention to this place except Ling Suye who had been paying attention to this place.
The gentleman quietly got out of the carriage and counted his steps along the wall.
"One step, two steps, three steps... sixteen steps, turn right." He counted silently in his mind.
The place to turn right was a courtyard wall, but this adult was quite skilled and climbed over the wall silently.
Ling Suye walked in through the gate and hid behind it, wanting to know what this person was going to do.
After climbing over the wall, the man began to count his steps again. He must have trained himself before, so that each step he took was almost the same length, and then he stopped at one place.
That place...
It happened to be the place where Ling Suye buried the spiritual jade!
Ling Suye's heart began to beat wildly, and he almost subconsciously thought of his Ling family's unique secret method - the Soul-Seeking Technique.
However, for those who do not have the talent to perceive spiritual energy, this Soul Seeking Technique requires training through bloodthirstiness, so it has become a forbidden technique of the Ling family.
Ling Suye's blood boiled. This man not only slaughtered the entire Ling family, but also secretly learned all the secrets of the Ling family!
However, since this person has mastered the art of finding spirits, he won't have to rely on this piece of spirit jade to "lure" him out later.
This person has automatically followed the spiritual energy to find the door.
Ling Suye couldn't see, so he could only rely on his ears. This man was trying hard to hide his tracks, and coupled with his strong martial arts skills, sometimes Ling Suye really couldn't tell whether he was still there or not.
Ling Suye tried to breathe lightly. He knew he couldn't be impatient. He had already waited until now, so he had to remain calm in order to have a chance of victory.
Chuzhou has many mountains and strong winds. It is dawn now, the sun is rising slowly, and the breeze blows the mountain mist, making the clouds obscure the vision of people around.
But it gave the blind Ling Suye a clear perception of all directions.
He seemed to hear the young man's words again: "There are a lot of weeds here. There's a big water tank here, and this is the floor drain of the City God Temple. Don't underestimate it, but there's a whole world inside. When it rains, the City God Temple will definitely not be flooded."
What did Ling Suye ask at that time?
"Is the underground very big?"
The boy said in a clear voice, "It's not particularly big. I'm young, so I can easily fit inside. You're too tall, so you'll probably have to lower your head."
The adult seemed to have determined the location of the spiritual jade and uttered a contemptuous laugh.
"I knew it, Ling Wuming! You escaped so quickly that you definitely didn't have the chance to take the Lingyu. So, I'm sending people to hunt you down, and the Lingyu will be mine."
After Ling Suye was sure that he knew the location of the spiritual jade, he did not stay behind the door for long. Instead, he walked quietly along the wall until he jumped into the water tank and drilled into the underground drainage channel.
——When he digs the spiritual jade, he will pull him down and the two of them will fight here. He must kill this man!
Ling Suye jumped down the road. Thanks to the help of the tonic pills, his steps were light and he didn't look like he was short of energy or blood.
This was not his first time entering Fangdao. He had entered once before in the Demon Realm with the young man. Even though there was no demonic energy surrounding him this time, the road was still familiar.
Ling Suye leaned against the edge of the square path and slowly moved forward.
At the same time, he tied the chain he had prepared to the dagger. As long as he could stab the man in a moment, he would be sure to drag him in with the others!
Thinking of this, Ling Suye took a deep breath again.
Finally, the sound of digging was heard above my head. It seemed that this adult had confirmed that there was no one around before he started digging for the spiritual jade.
He first discovered that the land had been dug up, and then he became more and more ecstatic - he knew that since Ling Wuming was able to escape with Gu Xuanyou, it was impossible for him to take the spiritual jade away!
This piece of spiritual jade looks very beautiful, round, hollow, and ring-shaped, but it is not a jade bracelet, but a blessing jade ring with a slightly smaller inner hole.
When Ling Suye first got the jade ring, he felt that it was familiar, but he didn't think too much about it and just buried the jade ring first.
However, when this gentleman saw the familiar jade ring, his expression changed drastically. At this moment, Ling Suye jumped out from the ground, and a poisoned dagger stabbed directly into the palm of his hand that was about to take the jade ring!
Immediately afterwards, the chain hooked and wrapped, and the adult was directly taken down to the underground passage by Ling Suye!
Along with it fell down, the spiritual jade that had no land to support it also fell down.
"It's you!" This familiar voice was no longer as calm and indifferent as it was three years ago, but it was more biting and harsh.
Ling Suye chuckled.
