Chapter 55 The Man Behind the Scenes
"You want to eat me?"
Ruan Wei chuckled, but her body was tense.
What makes her different from others is probably that she is born with a spiritual body.
That's why Ruan Wei can see Qin Luo, so she is a little snack in Qin Luo's eyes.
The Qin Luo in front of him was as weak as a wisp of smoke, as if it could disappear at any time.
Ruan Wei didn't dare to relax at all. The spirit sword at her waist trembled slightly, as if she couldn't hold it back.
Qin Luo swallowed hard and shook his head blankly, "No, no, I don't want to eat you."
Qin Luo, "I want you to help me."
It was very young, its clear almond-shaped eyes full of confusion, and it was still twirling its long braid around its fingers:
"Sister Goddess, help me."
"I want to know how I died, whether I have any relatives, and why no one has come to look for me after so long?"
After saying this, Qin Luo pinched his sleeve nervously.
Ruan Wei looked at it with a complicated expression. Qin Luo was about the same age as Wu Yu, and was at the age of youth and blooming flowers.
But the flowers fell.
She suddenly remembered the fourth junior sister she had seen before, with her half-white long hair covered with frost and snow.
It’s still so small.
After a long while, Ruan Wei finally spoke, her eyes deep, "Where do you live? I'll take you home first."
Qin Luo shook his head, "No need."
"Sister Goddess, if you want to find me, you can go to the big willow tree at the entrance of the town. I always sleep there to replenish my energy when I have nothing to do."
Seeing that Ruan Wei had no intention of agreeing, Qin Luo was disappointed, but still behaved well.
Ruan Wei, "Then you go back and wait for me. I need to discuss with my fellow disciples before making a decision."
She reached out and rubbed Qin Luo's head.
Soft and warm.
Qin Luo felt a little sore in his nose and shed tears without saying a word.
Ruan Wei tentatively transferred some spiritual energy to it, and Qin Luo's body suddenly flickered. As Ruan Wei's hands continued to inject spiritual energy, its originally erratic figure actually became more solid.
It actually works.
Ruan Wei raised his eyebrows. Qin Luo was not a ghost. How could a ghost be touched by spiritual energy without dispersing?
Ghosts are invisible and shadowless, and Qin Luo is just shadowless.
That’s right, the skirt is prettier than what she wears, but she’s too young and hasn’t developed yet.
"alright."
Ruan Wei withdrew his hand, "It won't be dispersed for a while like this."
Qin Luo looked at his solid palm. The candlelight in the room finally did not pass through it directly, but was projected onto it. This was so rare.
It whispered, "...Thank you."
The voice was small and contained a hint of guilt.
Ruan Wei didn't hear clearly and just waved at Qin Luo.
Qin Luo walked away, looking back every few steps.
-
The four were tortured by Lun Zhen, and it was not until midnight that they returned to the room with the drawn talismans and their exhausted bodies.
After listening to Qin Luo's story.
Chang Huaijin said without hesitation, "Let's help her, she's just a little girl!"
"I don't agree."
Unexpectedly, the first person to express dissenting opinion was Wu Yu.
She has always been on opposite sides of Chang Huaijin's side.
Wu Yu, "It's strange enough that no one is looking for it."
Wu Yu looked at Ruan Wei. "She recognized the woman who was scamming people today, which means she is indeed from this town. But she said that no one looked for her after she died. I don't think that's right."
Chang Huaijin seemed to remember something and suddenly changed his tone and nodded, "That's right, how could no one look for her!"
Seeing that he supported her, Wu Yu's expression didn't change at all. She continued, "My senior brothers and sisters grew up in Penglai, so they might not know much about Tongzhou."
"Since this is under the jurisdiction of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, it's impossible for a disappearance to go unreported."
"Even if she's an orphan, someone will be responsible. All spirits born within the jurisdiction of major clans and aristocratic families must use their blood to make a token and hand it over to the local government for management. If the token is broken, the person will be killed. To prevent demons from infiltrating Tongzhou, personnel from all over the country must be inspected every year. This is both a safeguard and an internal investigation."
Chi Jin also joined the discussion. He had slipped out of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley a long time ago and had been staying in Tongzhou in recent years. Due to some needs, he was particularly familiar with the laws of Tongzhou.
Chi Jin, "Especially in recent years, the protection of female cultivators has become more stringent. If someone has been dead for two months and no one has looked for them, there are only two possibilities."
"First, she wasn't a spirit. Second, the local government knew about her death and kept it a secret."
Ruan Wei understood.
The basic security measures in Tongzhou are very well done. Isn't this just a modern-day census?
The blood card is the household registration. When you die, the blood card will break and the account will be cancelled.
This guy does better than the real world!
Xiao Xuantong was half-comprehending, "So, you think she's lying?"
"right."
Wu Yu nodded, "Why couldn't you look for Senior Sister at any other time? Why did you choose to look for her when we're all gone?"
Chi Jin narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Maybe it's not a lie."
"As Fellow Daoist Ruan said, if this child truly doesn't know her origins and is wandering the world without any memory, then who on earth taught her to seek help from a cultivator?"
Chi Jin's unfinished meaning was obvious: who was using Qin Luo to find some kind of cultivator.
Being able to see Qin Luo itself requires specific conditions.
And Ruan Wei meets this condition.
They were all smart people, and Ruan Wei instantly understood what Chi Jin meant.
In fact, she just felt that something was wrong, otherwise she would not have come up and arrested Qin Luo and controlled him first.
It was only after listening to Wu Yu's talk about Tongzhou laws that I suddenly understood.
Qin Luo didn't remember anything, but he could still name the woman he met today. Even if such a cowardly and weak ghost was greedy, how could he dare to follow Ruan Wei after seeing his vengeful behavior?
Unless, she must let Ruan Wei and his group see her once.
Ruan Wei was suspicious, so he used his spiritual energy to test it, and then found that Qin Luo was not a ghost.
After Qin Luo asked for help, some soft-hearted and less cautious cultivators would naturally agree, and then they would enter the second step of the person behind the scenes.
So, who sent Qin Luo to them?
What is the purpose.
After thinking for a moment, Wu Yu reluctantly agreed with Chi Jin's statement.
There are too many loopholes in this kid's words.
Xiao Xuantong, "Then will you still help?"
"help."
Unexpectedly, Ruan Wei and Chi Jin spoke at the same time.
Chi Jin's ears instantly turned red. He pursed his lips and saw that his senior sister had no intention of speaking, then he said:
"The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so why not take advantage of their own strength?"
Ruan Wei nodded, "Yes, so I let Qin Luo go back today. In the eyes of those behind him, Qin Luo's first step should be completed."
"I have questions!"
They talked in a roundabout way for a long time, and Chang Huaijin felt very confused. He jumped up and raised his hand.
Wu Yu was a little disgusted and said, "Speak."
Chang Huaijin touched the tip of his nose. "So, is he casting a wide net, or is he specifically targeting Senior Sister?"
Ruan Wei has some insights on this point.
Ruan Wei, "I can tell she wasn't lying when she said she had been waiting for the monk at the town entrance for two months."
It is very smart and has its own judgment buff.
Easy to use.
"so,"
Chi Jin silently grasped his wrist and stared at Ruan Wei, "Now he has found it."
"The first person who can see Qin Luo is Fellow Daoist Ruan."
Senior sister, there is danger.
Ruan Wei, “…”
It’s over, this one is coming for me.
