Chapter 295 Basic Operations, Don't Be Surprised (Update)
"The skin of the whole craftsman is made of the skins of many evil demons. I saw a few familiar characters in it. I didn't learn it from the witch doctor inheritance I got in the Hanyue Secret Realm, but I saw it in the medical book in our Supreme Sect Library."
The books in the Supreme Sect Library are basically exclusive collections that are the only one in the world. Only disciples can read them, 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 to have one or two losers?"
Xia Tianwu was convinced, "Then the little master..."
"Yes, I know who it is." Lin Du nodded.
Xia Tianwu was relieved.
"But he can't be caught. The real people outside the entire sect have been trying to catch him for more than ten years and haven't caught him. He is good at puppetry and has many clones. Even the head of the sect was fooled once." Lin Du stated the facts. Xia Tianwu
was worried again.
"But it's okay. I think I have some clues." Lin Du added. Xia Tianwu
was relieved hesitantly.
Lin Du summoned the spirit boat, "Let's go. If we don't leave now, the body will rot."
It can't rot. They are very professional. Even if the size is beyond expectations, they use the best materials for the burial. But Lin Du has a question that he needs Hu You to answer urgently.
Hou Cang took the initiative to stand beside Lin Du, "What do you think?"
"Wenfu." Lin Du uttered two words, and then laughed, "I heard from Quan Jiangren that he and Wenfu, who faked his death and left the sect, were originally fellow practitioners, but later became strangers."
"I suspect that Wenfu threw his own works, those evil demons that could not retain consciousness, into this valley to attract others, hoping to induce Quan Jiangren to study how to retain more souls and consciousness from being eroded, so I left a surveillance camera in his cave before I left."
"Senior sister must have guessed that Wenfu might be involved in this matter, so she asked me to come out with me, right?"
Hou Cang held the sword, "I don't know, but it's better to get rid of this kid as soon as possible. He's so troublesome. I don't know how many puppets I have killed."
Lin Du nodded, "I also killed one of his puppets."
There is no way to kill them all.
The brother and sister looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes that they were troubled by Wenfu, the troublemaker.
It was already night when they arrived in western Yunnan.
Hu You received the news early in the morning and waited in a large mansion he had booked.
A Tibetan fox face and natural smiling lips. Lin Du remembered that the last time he saw him in a brothel, he also had such a sad but not sincere funny look.
But this time, Hu You was truly heartbroken, his eyebrows were drawn into shaggy shapes, and when he saw the huge coffin, he rushed over and cried, "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 more useful than the expensive and small cold jade box.
"Hello, customer. Because you didn't give us any size reminders in advance, we found your father was bloated when we arrived at the designated corpse collection site. The coffin you reserved in advance can't be used, so we'll show you the sample now, and then we'll make it on site in one night. We're a professional team, with guaranteed quality and quantity, and we'll perfectly restore the style you chose. Do you have any other questions, customer?"
Yuan Ye said in one breath, looked at Hu You, and blinked his phoenix eyes sincerely.
Hu You didn't howl out in one breath, and he got a stitch in the side, and a shocking cough rang out in the yard.
After a long while, Hu You wiped his eyes, "Thank you, my godfather is this big now? Can such a big cabinet fit it?"
This was a bit strange, but they all nodded and shook their heads.
"It's not a big problem, relax." Yuan Ye tried to comfort him.
Lin Du replied, "It's five feet four wide, eight feet four long, and five feet one thick."
Everyone in the Supreme Sect looked at Lin Du.
The junior uncle didn't have a ruler at the time, how did she know the size?
Lin Du glanced at it calmly, "It's the instinct of a formation master. My eyes are the ruler. It's a basic operation. Don't be surprised."
Everyone in the Supreme Sect was convinced.
Is this a formation master?
Hu You wanted to take out the booklet, but he suppressed the instinct he had developed over the years, "Master Lin, let's talk for a moment, as for..."
"I'm Yuan Ye, the manager of the funeral department of Liangchen Chamber of Commerce. Leave the coffin to me, don't worry."
Hu You nodded and bowed, "Sorry, Manager Yuan, if you need anything, please contact me at any time. Hu Si, serve tea and snacks to the masters."
Lin Du was led into a room by Hu You. When the door was closed, Lin Du noticed that Hu You had specially activated the barrier in the room, and she raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Master Lin, your realm on the Qingyun List changed a few days ago, so I knew that your retreat would end and you would come this time."
Hu You did not hide his shortcomings this time, but got 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 used to smiling 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 Fusifang's subordinates. I guess your adoptive father is also from Fusifang."
Hu You sighed, "It is said that 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 mark on my body, but because of the fox's natural instinctive magic, it can be temporarily blurred. I'll just say it straight. In fact, my adoptive father had the intention to retire decades ago. It was not until the Chinese New Year this year that he officially told the owner of the shop. The owner agreed at the time, but after that, I lost contact with my adoptive father."
"My adoptive father raised me. He instinctively thought that I could do a lot. Later, he didn't have enough hardware, so he planned to let me take care of him until the end of his life. Who knew that after he no longer managed the flower shop, the owner of Fusifang named me to take over, making me officially a member of Fusifang."
"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 and not laughing, "He said... son, please bury me in peace."
"My father... just wants to go home."
Hu You's eyes were red, "Master Lin, you are very young but have achieved a lot, and you also have some understanding of the evil spirits. Can you tell me the truth, did my father... die from being transformed into a demon by someone?"
Lin Du nodded, "Yes, he was transformed into a demon. After losing his human consciousness, he was killed by someone with a sword. There was no pain, and it happened quickly."
She hesitated for a moment and added, "Please accept my condolences."
"Then was he... painful to be transformed into a demon?" Hu You felt that she had asked a stupid question after she asked, "How could it not be painful? Such a small old man turned into such a big demon, how could it not be painful."
Hu You frowned and straightened the corners of his mouth, "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 a fortune-teller tell him that his life was coming to an end. Only then did he go back to the owner, wanting 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! I knew it was not good when I saw the place my father sent me. There are many evil demons in Kongxiang 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 uses evil magic related to Fu Sifang? Or even in Fu Sifang?"
After hearing this, Lin Du put down the teacup silently, and with a click, it was particularly clear in the house, "You already have the answer, don't you?"
"But the rule of Fu Sifang is that you must never touch the matter of evil demons!" 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 could I have that ability." Hu You smiled bitterly, "My talent for cultivation is so low. You have the brain and the strength, but I only have this brain, but it's useless."
"Hu You," Lin Du raised his eyes and looked into his eyes, "Having a brain is enough, isn't it?"
"I have a message that I can give you for free." Lin Du tapped the desktop, and looked at the person in front of him who had turned into Qi Qing, a thick mournful mist, and his voice softened.
"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 time has passed and they were all executed, there are always clues."
"By the way, you can check whether there are any strange people who have appeared in Fan Qiancheng or around the Demon Lord, and whose style of behavior is similar to that of the Eighth Elder. You are a member of Fu Sifang, and you are better at getting information than me."
Lin Du curled his lips, his eyes carrying some sarcasm and fierceness, "The Demon Lord is a pure demon, and his brain may not be as useful as others. Who knows if he has become a puppet pushed in front of others, and a part of the plan?"
"Someone who can contact Fu Si Fang and the source of the 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 slowly became firm, "Thank you, Master Lin, for your kindness today, I will repay you in the future."
"No need, just share the information, remember 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 calmly stood up and waited for Hu You to open the mechanism before pushing the door and walking out.
The waning moon was hanging 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?"
