"Your name is Zhou Qing, right?"
"Yes, Zhou as in Zhouquan and Qing as in Qingshui."
"Which family are you from? There shouldn't be a family with the surname Zhou in Heiyun Town, right?"
“Miss Yun, I don’t come from any family, I’m just from an ordinary family.”
This is the conversation taking place between Zhou Qing and the other person who have already walked out of Heiyun Town.
The things that Lu Qingmo arranged were not to take place in Heiyun Town, but in a village about ten miles west of the town.
"Oh." Yun Duo nodded, a little surprised.
"Just call me Yun Duo."
"Then how did you come to study here? Many people want to become your disciple, but you won't accept them."
"I am a disciple of Taibai Martial Arts School. The school sent me to study with Aunt Mo."
Checking the household registration, right? Zhou Qing explained, and at the same time guessed Yun Duo's origin.
There is only one family with this surname in Heiyun Town, and it is a big family in Heiyun Town.
As long as there are people and they can reproduce, there can be no place without family power, even in another world.
However, the official disciples of the three major martial arts schools are no worse than those of the big families in terms of status and talent.
Zhou Qing looked at Yun Duo. She was pretty and delicate, but ordinary.
It's really ordinary, without any ups and downs.
"Disciple Taibai, that's no wonder..." Yun Duo nodded, then reacted, "You practice both martial arts and Taoism?"
"yes."
“You are amazing.”
"My name is Yun Duo. I'm fifteen years old. I'm from the Yun family. I started learning Taoism from my teacher two and a half years ago. Now I'm in the night travel period." Yun Duo asked curiously:
"Zhou Qing, what is your strength?"
The realm of Taoist magic is divided into two stages, night travel and day travel. The evil monk Nengwu is the night travel.
And now the girl next to Zhou Qing is also in this situation.
Faced with the problem of endless clouds, Zhou Qing felt helpless.
We've only known each other for a short while, and you're asking too many questions.
"I have just started to cultivate my soul, and I am still in the visualization stage."
It is actually reasonable for temporary teammates to inform each other of their strengths.
"Oh." Yun Duo nodded, "It's okay, the soul will cultivate very quickly, you don't have to worry."
"I will protect you on this mission."
Yun Duo practiced for two and a half years and reached the third level of soul, while Bai Ruoyue, the number one martial arts genius in Heiyun Town, practiced for six years and reached the third level of martial arts.
The particularity of soul cultivation is undoubtedly revealed.
Of course, soul cultivation cannot always be that fast, and if they fight, several clouds tied together will not be a match for Bai Ruoyue.
Along the way, Yun Duo kept asking Zhou Qing all kinds of questions. Zhou Qing had never seen anyone so talkative.
He felt that the cloud looked dull and not very bright.
As to whether he was really stupid or just pretending, Zhou Qing didn't know.
Soon Zhou Qing and his companion arrived at the mission location - Gaojiazhuang.
A name that made Zhou Qing want to complain.
I don’t think I’ll encounter a pig monster on this trip to Gaojiazhuang.
"Yun Duo, what are your plans?" Zhou Qing asked, respecting this registered disciple.
After all, he is an old man who has done things for Lu Qingmo many times, so he must be very experienced.
"Ah, me?" Yun Duo glanced at Zhou Qing, then looked at Gaojiazhuang, pondered for a while, and said, "I don't know either."
“…”
"How did you solve the problem when you worked for Aunt Mo before?"
Yun Duo answered honestly: "I went home and told my father, and my father sent someone to go with me."
Yes, that's an irrefutable reason.
In Zhou Qing's eyes, Yun Duo's halo as a veteran in the mission faded away, and she became a cute newbie.
After changing his mindset, Zhou Qing was able to understand.
After all, she is just a fifteen-year-old girl, we can't ask too much of her.
In this world, there are little devils like Yang Xing who committed murder at the age of twelve, and naturally there are also silly girls of fifteen years old.
"Let's go check on those families first, then go find the village chief of Gaojiazhuang and learn more about what happened in Gaojiazhuang during this period."
"OK."
Three days ago, people from Gaojiazhuang came to Heiyun Town to report to the police, saying that several people had disappeared from their village recently, including adults, children and teenagers.

The garrison also sent people to investigate the matter, but they didn't find anything. However, they seemed to have discovered some clues related to Taoism, so the matter eventually came to the Ghost and God Management Office.
According to the information from the garrison, Zhou Qing and Yun Duo secretly went to the homes of the people missing, a total of six households.
Many things have been recorded in the files, but the perspective of a monk is naturally different from that of an ordinary detective.
When they arrived at the fourth household, Zhou Qing and his companions gained something.
The missing person in this family was a child. With the help of Zhou Qing and his colleagues' spiritual insight, they found several animal hairs in a hidden corner of the child's bed.
"Could it be done by a monster?" said Yun Duo.
Among the six households, none of them raised animals with such hair, and none of them was engaged in the livestock breeding and slaughtering industries.
Zhou Qing didn't say anything. He put away the hairs and went to the next house. In the corner of the sixth house, he made the same discovery.
"What animal's hair is this?"
Zhou Qing shook his head, "I can't really tell."
There are so many animals in the world. Except for chicken feathers which are too obvious, who can guarantee that they can see the hair of other animals at a glance?
"Don't go to the village chief's house first, look around the village to see if there is anything similar!"
Without being in a special environment like underwater, Zhou Qing's spiritual coverage range could be said to have increased many times, and it wouldn't take long to search the entire village.
The same hairs were indeed found in some corners of Gaojiazhuang. Following the trace, they discovered that the hairs finally pointed to the south of the village.
"Heading south?"
At the same time, while searching the village, Zhou Qing and his team also discovered what animals the hair came from.
It's donkey hair. There are people in Gaojiazhuang who raise donkeys. The difference is obvious after comparison.
But the donkey hair that Zhou Qing and his team discovered was not the same color as that of the domesticated donkeys.
He took Yun Duo to the village chief's house. During the process, Yun Duo followed Zhou Qing obediently and did whatever he said.
"Village Chief Gao, when you reported to the police, you said that a wandering Taoist priest came to Gaojiazhuang some time ago?" Zhou Qing asked.
"Yes, the Taoist priest rested for a while in our Gaojia Village, asked for a bowl of water to drink, and then left."
Village Chief Gao said: "But a few days after he left, someone disappeared in the village."
"What is there to the south of Gaojiazhuang? Where can we go?"
"To the south...there is a teahouse there, and further south is Niujia Village."
"Would the people in Zhuangzi drive their donkeys to the south?"
"Sometimes, someone came to the village a few days ago and bought a few donkeys, and then went south."
Zhou Qing carefully asked Village Chief Gao a few more questions, then left with Yun Duo and headed straight south.
Soon the teahouse came into sight, and at the same time, Zhou Qing saw a dozen tied donkeys.
Look for the donkey by its hair, this time the color matches!
