Chapter 295 Basic Operations, No Need to Be Surprised (Updated)

"The skin of the craftsman was made by piecing together the skins of many evil spirits. I saw a few familiar characters in it. They were not what I learned from the witch doctor inheritance in the Hanyue Secret Realm, but what I saw in the medical book in our Supreme Sect's library."

The books in the Supreme Sect's Library are basically exclusive collections that are the only ones in the world and can only be viewed by direct disciples. And that medical book is the only one in the world.

Lin Du was not surprised. "The Supreme Sect has been established for nearly ten thousand years. Isn't it normal for one or two losers to appear?"

Xia Tianwu was convinced, "Then Junior Master..."

"Well, yes, I know who it is." Lin Du nodded.

Xia Tian was relieved.

“But he cannot be caught. The entire sect’s real person who is out there has been trying to catch him for more than ten years but still hasn’t been caught. He is good at puppetry and has many clones. Even the sect leader was fooled once.” Lin Du stated the facts.

Xia Tianwu pulled the heartstrings again.

"But it's okay, I think I have some clues." Lin Du added.

Xia Tian felt relieved without hesitation.

Lin Du summoned the spirit boat and said, "Let's go. If we don't leave now, the body will rot."

It couldn't be rotten, they were very professional, even if the size was beyond expectations, they used the best materials for the burial. But Lin Du had a question that he urgently needed Hu You to answer.

Hou Cang took the initiative to stand next to Lin Du, "What do you think?"

"Wenfu." Lin Du uttered two words, then laughed, "I heard from Master Quan that he and Wenfu, who faked his death and left the clan, were originally fellow practitioners, but later became strangers."

"I suspect that Wenfu threw his own creations, those evil spirits that could not retain their consciousness, into this valley in order to inspire all craftsmen to study how to retain more souls and consciousness from being eroded. So I left a surveillance camera in his cave before I left."

"Grandma Sister had already guessed that Wenfu might be involved in this matter, so she asked Senior Brother to come out with me, right?"

Hou Cang held the sword and said, "I don't know, but we'd better get rid of this guy as soon as possible. He's so annoying. I don't know how many puppets he has killed."

Lin Du nodded, "I also killed one of his puppets."

You can’t kill them all. You can’t kill them all.

The brother and sister looked at each other and could see from each other's eyes how much they were both annoyed by Wen Fu, the troublemaker.

By the time we reached western Yunnan, it was already night.

Hu You received the news early in the morning and waited in the large mansion he had booked.

He had a fox-like face and naturally smiling lips. Lin Du remembered that the last time he saw him in a brothel, he also had a funny look with a sad and yet not sincere expression.

But this time, Hu You was truly grief-stricken. His eyebrows were drawn into a frown, and when he saw the huge coffin, he rushed over and cried out loudly, "Fuck Dad!!!"

"Um...wait a minute, your dad is here."

Yuan Ye took out a large iron box, which was originally a "permanent freezer" jointly refined by Lin Du and Yan Qing. Using relatively cheap materials and costs, they created something that could almost perfectly preserve all kinds of spiritual plants and animal meat at low temperatures without spoiling. It was better than the expensive and small cold jade box.

"Hello, customer. Because you didn't give us any size reminders in advance, we found that your father had bloated when we arrived at the designated location. The coffin you reserved in advance cannot be used, so we will show you the sample now, and then we will make it on site. It will be ready overnight. We are a professional team, with guaranteed quality and quantity, and we will perfectly restore the style you chose. Do you have any other questions, customer?"

Yuan Ye finished speaking in one breath, looked at Hu You, and blinked his phoenix eyes sincerely.

Hu You didn't even have time to howl before he got a stitch in the side, and a startling coughing sound echoed in the yard.

After a long while, Hu You wiped his eyes and said, "Thank you very much. Is my godfather this big now? Can he fit in such a big cabinet?"

This sounded a bit strange, but everyone nodded and shook their heads in unison.

"It's not a big problem, relax." Yuan Ye tried to comfort her.

Lin Du replied, "It is five feet four inches wide, eight feet four inches long, and five feet one inch thick."

Everyone in the Supreme Sect looked at Lin Du.

Junior master didn't have a ruler at the time, so how did she know the size?

Lin Du glanced at it calmly, "It's the instinct of a formation master. My eyes are my ruler. It's a basic operation. No need to be surprised."

Everyone in the Supreme Sect was convinced.

Is this the array mage?

Hu You wanted to take out the booklet, but he suppressed the instinct he had developed over the years and said, "Master Lin, let's talk for a moment. As for..."

"I'm Yuan Ye, the manager of the funeral affairs department of Liangchen Chamber of Commerce. Leave the coffin matters to me, don't worry."

Hu You nodded and bowed, "Thank you, Manager Yuan. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me. Hu Si, serve tea and snacks to the masters."

Lin Du was led into a house by Hu You. When closing the door, Lin Du noticed that Hu You had specially activated the barrier in the house, and she raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Master Lin, your status on the Azure Cloud Ranking changed a few days ago, so I knew that your retreat was over and you would come this time."

This time, Hu You did not hide his incompetence or act foolishly, but came straight to the point.

"I think you have guessed the identities of me and my adoptive father."

Hu You extended his hand to invite Lin Du to sit down, poured tea himself, bowed and smiled out of habit, but quickly stopped.

He seemed to be accustomed to making jokes for many years, so he looked a little embarrassed when he was serious.

Lin Du nodded, "Yes, the son follows in his father's footsteps. You are the manager of Fu Si Fang's subordinates. I guess your adoptive father is also from Fu Si Fang."

Hu You sighed, "They say you are extremely smart. I didn't take it seriously when I first met you, but now I believe it."

"To be honest, I have a spiritual curse on my body, but because of the fox's natural instinctive magic, it can temporarily blur it out. I'll be frank. In fact, my adoptive father had the intention to retire decades ago, and it was not until the New Year this year that he officially told the abbot, and the abbot agreed. But after that, I lost contact with my adoptive father."

"My adoptive father raised me, and instinctively thought that I could do great things. Later, when he really didn't have enough money, he planned to let me take care of him until he died. Who knew that after he stopped managing the brothel, the owner of Fu Si Fang nominated me to take over, and I officially became a member of Fu Si Fang."

"A few days ago, I received a very brief message from my godfather, through our special communication method that no one else knew about."

When Hu You got to this point, he suddenly wiped his face, as if crying but not laughing, "He said...son, please bury me in peace."

"My dad...just wants to go home."

Hu You's eyes turned red. "Master Lin, you have accomplished a lot at such a young age, and you also know a lot about evil spirits. Can you tell me the truth? Was my father... killed by a man-made demon?"

Lin Du nodded, "Yes, he was transformed into an evil demon. After losing his human consciousness, he was killed by a sword. It was painless and quick."

She hesitated for a moment and added, "My condolences."

"So... was it painful for him to turn into a demon?" Hu You felt stupid after asking, "How could it not be painful? How could such a small old man turn into such a big evil demon without any pain?"

Hu You frowned and straightened his lips, "I..."

"Master Lin, Fu Si Fang... My father said that the previous owner of Fu Si Fang was not like this. He would not squeeze out the value. But now the new owner is very different. If everyone loses their value, they will die."

"So my father never dared to mention leaving until the end of last year when he had his fortune told and the fortuneteller said that his life span was coming to an end. Only then did he go back to the host and wanted to have a final moment of peace."

"But who knows... who knows, we are indeed not righteous monks, but we are not guilty of such a crime! When I saw the place my father sent me, I knew it was not good. There are many evil demons in the Empty Echo Valley... and they have only appeared in recent years."

Hu You wiped his face again, "Master Lin, I have a really scary guess. Give me a definite answer. Is the person who performed the evil magic related to Fu Si Fang? Or even in Fu Si Fang?"

After hearing this, Lin Du silently put down the teacup, and with a click, the sound was particularly clear in the room, "You already have the answer, don't you?"

"But the rule of Fusifang is that we must never touch anything evil!" Hu You's pupils kept trembling under the light, "Could it be..."

Lin Du shook his head, "I don't know, do you want revenge?"

"How can I have that ability?" Hu You smiled bitterly. "My talent for cultivation is so low. You have brains and strength, but I only have this brain, but it's useless."

"Huyou," Lin Du raised his eyes and looked him straight in the eye, "Having a brain is enough, isn't it?"

"I have a message that I can give to you for free." Lin Du tapped the desktop, and his voice softened as he looked at the person in front of him who had turned into a thick mist of sorrow.

"Go check the relationship between the Eighth Elder who was taken back by our sect and executed by the Demon Lord, and the group of people who were found to have tampered with the secret realm of the Zhongzhou Grand Competition."

"Although they were all executed during the migration, there are still clues."

"By the way, you can check if there are any strange people around Fan Qiancheng or the Demon Lord, whose behavior style is similar to that of the Eighth Elder. You are a member of Fu Sifang, so you are better at getting information than me."

Lin Du curled his lips, his eyes were full of sarcasm and cruelty, "The Demon Lord is a pure demon, his brain may not be better than others, who knows, he may become a puppet pushed in front, and a part of the plan?"

"A person who can contact Fu Si Fang and the origin of demonic energy at the same time may have more than one body, but no matter what, the soul must be one."

Hu You's eyes gradually focused and he slowly became firm, "Thank you, Master Lin. I will repay you for your kindness today."

"No need, just share the information. Remember to pay the balance of this order. I will go out to help design the coffin and check the feng shui of the cemetery. We are a professional team. Leave the funeral to us. Don't worry."

Lin Du stood up calmly and waited for Hu You to turn on the device before he pushed the door and walked out.

The waning moon hung high in the sky, and Lin Du met a pair of dark and cold eyes of a young man.

"Hey, little nephew, why are you waiting for me here?"
