Chapter 211 Why are you so skilled?
"I have found true love this time."
Wang Longqi's opening remarks were very skillful.
"oh."
Li Chu's reaction was the same as always.
Although he was crying behind the iron bars, Wang Longqi felt relieved when he saw Li Chu's face.
He suddenly glanced at Li Chu and said with a smile: "By the way, didn't you say you didn't want to come to the Flower City Convention? You looked like you were not interested in vulgar things, but in the end you couldn't help yourself. How about it, is there an oiran that you like?"
Li Chu couldn't help but admire his generosity, and said calmly: "I came here for another purpose, you tell me your story first..."
"Tsk." Wang Longqi curled his lips and continued:
"After I said goodbye to you, I headed north all the way here. I took a team of behemoths, so I got here pretty quickly."
"I came to Shenluo City originally because I wanted to relax and live a life where... the sun is high in the sky as soon as I open my eyes."
"Who knew I would meet my true love here..."
"Her name is Lanzhi, and she is the daughter of a small family in the south of the city."
"Although her appearance is not extremely beautiful, she has the clearest eyes I have ever seen."
"She was so pure that we had known each other for three and a half days before she agreed to come out and spend the night with me."
"?"
Hearing this, a few faint question marks appeared on Li Chu's forehead, but he did not interrupt him.
"That night, we met under the moon and made an appointment after dusk."
Talking about the scene at that time, Wang Longqi's gaze became distant.
"We were walking along the river in Los Angeles at that time. There were bright lights in the distance and stars above our heads. She said she had something to tell me, and I was waiting. But before I could hear what she said, I just turned my head and she was gone!"
"Just like that... it disappeared out of thin air!"
"Except that she was captured by an evil spirit, I can't think of any other reason." Wang Longqi said, "I searched around for most of the night, but couldn't find her. I went back to the inn and asked someone to help me look for her, but still found nothing. As a result, after dawn, her family came to my house and insisted that I was the one who killed her and captured me."
"Li Chu, you know me well."
"I would never do such a thing!"
"But I was the only one there at the time. If they can't find her, it will definitely be my fault." Wang Longqi said in a deep voice: "The people in Chaotianque didn't believe me. I don't know if they checked carefully. That's why I wanted to quickly ask one of my own cultivators to help me find Lanzhi's whereabouts. I didn't expect that you would be able to come all of a sudden. I'm really lucky."
After hearing this, Li Chu said, "Tell me the exact location where you were at the time, and I'll go take a look. At least I have to find evidence of the evil spirit, so that I can save you."
Wang Longqi's face tensed up. "It doesn't matter whether you can save me or not. It doesn't matter if I am punished. But... Lanzhi's life or death is unknown now. Can you try your best to save her? I have been worried about her safety..."
Li Chu looked at him deeply, nodded and said, "I'll do my best."
Watching the Taoist priest's green back leave the prison, Wang Longqi breathed a sigh of relief and silently said, "Li Chu bless you, Lanzhi, please don't get into trouble."
…
Li Chu soon arrived at the meeting place that Wang Longqi mentioned that night.
Luocheng River is a tributary of Luoshui River, flowing through the southwest part of the city. There is an archway facing the opposite bank in the distance, so it is not difficult to identify it.
He first glanced around very carefully.
Usually, no matter whether it is a cultivator or a demon or monster, when they use their magical powers they will always reveal their own aura. If it is strong, it is possible that it will stay in the same place for a day or two.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and shook his head.
Not a trace.
But I wasn't too disappointed.
If it was so easy to find, there would be no need for him to come, the people from Chaotianque would have found it long ago.
Li Chu began to walk along the river, imagining the situation at that time.
Although it was cold at this time, it was not cold enough to freeze the Luocheng River, and the water was still flowing slowly.
Although there are many complicated magical powers in the world, for a person to disappear out of thin air in an instant without a trace... it seems not easy.
Directly using the wind to grab someone away was too crude. Even if Wang Longqi's reaction was slow, he should have sensed it. To grab someone from a distance out of thin air... that was too mysterious. It was estimated that only a powerful person could have such a method.
Although this possibility cannot be ruled out for the time being...
But a more likely possibility is another speculation that the person did not go far away at that time, but existed in a state that Wang Longqi could not see.
Li Chu thought of the Five Elements Escape Technique that Chen Huaji was proficient in.
It can enter any object silently in almost an instant - of course, except Miss Xiao Liu's heart.
Among the escape techniques, if you use earth escape to lead someone, even if it goes smoothly, it will leave a faint trace on the ground. Water escape, on the other hand, is much more concealed. Looking from the shore, there will only be a faint ripple, which will disappear after a while.
Li Chu turned his gaze to the river beside him.
Close your eyes again and explore your mind.
A group of thick yin energy was found upstream, which was almost the same as the water ghost in the Black Water River that day, except that it was not tainted with as much resentment.
It seems to be an honest water ghost who is making slow progress through his own practice.
Maybe it can serve as a ghost witness.
Li Chu jumped into the water, breaking the water droplets and parting the waves.
Phew.
Gurgle, gurgle.
Booji.
The sound of water gurgling.
Li Chu's figure was moving quickly in the river, quickly approaching the group of evil energy.
The evil spirit noticed his approach and floated slightly up from the bottom of the water.
It was a water ghost with ragged clothes and an old face. Although his body was a vague shadow, it was much clearer than the water ghost in the Black River that day. Such an honest water ghost would have a higher chance of becoming a river god.
Seeing Li Chu coming in front of him, the honest water ghost seemed a little surprised. He just looked at him vigilantly without saying a word.
As an honest water ghost, it may not see many strangers in its life, so it is inevitable that it will be alert.
Li Chu asked first, "Excuse me, my friend had an accident on the shore ahead late at night the day before yesterday. A girl was suddenly taken away. I suspect the murderer escaped by water escape. So I want to ask, you have been practicing in this river, have you seen anything?"
"No, no."
The water ghost replied very impatiently, its face was blurry but it was obvious that it looked unhappy.
I don't know if it's because it's not used to talking to humans or if it has some fear in its heart.
However, Li Chu couldn't be bothered to be polite to it now.
He directly drew out the Pure Yang Sword.
The water ghost was startled and was about to ask what he was doing, but he didn't wait for it to speak.
Li Chu has already slashed with his sword.
Of course, this sword was not aimed at the water ghost, but at the water flow behind it.
boom--
This was not the first time that Li Chu had cut a river in half with one sword.
The difference from that time was that this time his spiritual power was stronger, so the area he opened up was wider. And with the special effects of the Pure Yang Sword, much of the river water did not rise to form a water wall, but was evaporated by the sword energy.
In short, in just a moment, a wide gully suddenly appeared in the middle of the icy Luocheng River, with dazzling red light, surging heat waves, and the faint sound of dragon roars.
The water ghost's body, which was stretched out like a shadow, was suddenly exposed to the air, appearing extremely shriveled and thin.
Now Li Chu finally saw its face clearly.
The facial features had long been deformed, and if one could tell any expression... it was confusion.
Abnormally confused.
Of course it has reasons to be confused.
I’m a water ghost...how come I’m suddenly exposed to the sun?
There's an inexplicable feeling of being appointed.
and……
An operation like "Severing a River with One Sword"...
Why are you so skilled? It looked at Li Chu again, and the ghost's mood was not right.
Then Li Chu politely asked, "This matter is very important, so please recall carefully whether you saw any cultivators or evil spirits passing by here on the night of the incident."
He also didn't like communicating with ghosts in a threatening manner, but...extreme times require extreme measures.
In Chao Tianque's opinion, Wang Longqi was more likely to have committed the crime, so he might have just investigated casually and let it go if there was no evil aura. Even if he guessed the possibility of the escape method, he might not have gone to such great lengths to ask the water ghost. Even if he did ask, it might have dealt with him and let it go.
In short, Wang Longqi can only rely on him, and there must be a harvest this time.
You must not be soft-hearted at times like this.
"Um……"
At this time, the water ghost finally realized his situation.
Although the other party asked very politely.
But can I not answer?
Obviously not.
So it whispered, "I can tell you, but you must not tell anyone else. The person who did that... controls all the ghosts in our Shenluo City... If they find out, I will be dead."
"Just tell me who it is." Li Chu said calmly.
The water ghost gritted his teeth and replied, "Descendants of the Yin family."
