Chapter 34: See the dragon in the field, or leap in the abyss

Hard work pays off.

After a careful investigation, Nie Tai actually found some clues.

He discovered that this evil spirit was always entangled with a wisp of incense scent. The evil spirit was very faint, and the incense scent was also very faint.

But once you notice it, it's particularly eye-catching.

He could even identify the material of the incense from the aroma.

——Willow ash for dyeing, dendrobium for suppressing evil spirits, supplemented by agarwood, rosin, and basil for calming the mind. The recipe was a bit like offering incense for meditation, but there was also an ingredient in it that smelled like ashes, which made him a little confused.

Anyway, it's good to have a clue.

He cheered up, followed the incense, left Tian'an Village and went straight after it.

The underworld was vast, and Nie Tai chased for only ten miles before suddenly stopping.

But the incense has stopped burning.

Cut it off cleanly.

"Something's wrong!"

Nie Tai searched the surroundings unwillingly, but still could not find any trace of him. Just as he was getting distressed, a flash of inspiration came to his mind.

He suddenly passed through the Yin and stepped into the Yang, escaping into the Yang world.

Sure enough, the familiar scent of incense appeared again.

“What a scheming person!”

Nie Tai praised and continued to chase.

Along the way, he sometimes escaped to the underworld and sometimes walked in the world of the living. After walking for more than a hundred miles, he finally stopped.

Looking at the mass grave in the distance, Nie Tai showed some hesitation.

He had just walked around the mass grave and was sure that the incense had stopped burning here.

In other words, the person he was looking for was in the mass grave.

Although he found the target, he hesitated.

For the living, mass graves are places of filth and foulness and are ominous places.

But for ghosts and evil spirits, this is a Feng Shui treasure land where evil spirits gather, so it often becomes a gathering place for ghosts.

Therefore, there must be a lot of evil spirits and demons here.

If he goes in rashly, he might encounter unexpected events.

But if I leave, will Lord Gu believe it?

In addition, the mass grave is swarming with evil spirits and monsters, and their auras are intertwined and converged. Will you be able to find the murderer next time you come here?

While his thoughts were wandering, Nie Tai gritted his teeth, transformed himself, and walked in with a swagger.

As a spirit medium, in order to show people the dark things and create an image of knowing everything, the spirit medium will often gather information in advance.

Therefore, after Nie Tai entered the mass grave, he used the cover of a spirit medium to inquire about the secrets of the dead old man. At the same time, he activated his innate magical powers to carefully identify the source of the incense.

It wasn't long before he noticed the source of the incense.

It was a quadrangle courtyard, magnificent and magnificent, with three entrances and three exits, but lacking a sense of heaviness. With a little vision, one could tell that it was made of paper.

Nie Tai suppressed his excitement and pretended to inquire about some unimportant information before turning around and leaving calmly.

Unexpectedly, just as he walked out of the mass grave and was about to speed up, he saw a white-faced Taoist boy standing straight by the side of the road, staring at him.

A faint but extremely familiar scent of incense emanated from the white-faced Taoist boy and went straight into Nie Tai's nose, shocking him greatly. He wanted to run away, but was afraid of being exposed, so he could only pretend to be calm and asked with his hands clasped:
"You are looking at me like this, do you know me?"

"Of course I recognize you. You are the spirit medium from Tian'an." The white-faced Taoist boy grinned.

"That's strange. Why do you look unfamiliar to me? What's your name?" Nie Tai pretended to be stupid.

"On the road of cultivation, we are all passers-by. The name is not important. What is important is that Master Bu is not going to serve Uncle Gu today, so why did he have the time to send you here?"

"Gu Bogong is important, but the hall is also important, isn't it?"

"Haha, this place is over a hundred miles away from Tian'an Village. Aren't you curious about how I know that Master Bu is serving Master Gu?"

"With the Internet, we can get news thousands of miles away in a snap. What's so strange about that?"

"Makes sense."

The white-faced Taoist boy nodded, and suddenly asked seriously:
"How did you find me?"

Nie Tai was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale. His magic power surged and he ran for his life madly.

"Hehe——" The white-faced Taoist boy laughed and let Nie Tai run for his life, but his body quietly slipped into the earth veins.

The next moment, as the earth veins surged, a white-faced Taoist boy suddenly appeared beside Nie Tai, his five fingers like spears, slashing towards Nie Tai's head.

With just one glance, Nie Tai's face changed drastically and his breath was choked.

I screamed in my heart, my life is over!
He tried to dodge, but he was too slow and was powerless.

"Stab!"

The sharp blade cuts through flesh!
Nie Tai, who was ready to be killed, had his pupils dilated and his heart pounding.

Then a dazzling cold light flashed from the white-faced Taoist boy's wrist, and the five fingers pierced towards him and were thrown straight towards him.

"Who?"

The white-faced Taoist boy's expression changed drastically and he shouted loudly.

"Zombies? Interesting."

A superior voice came from not far away, and as the light and shadow changed, a middle-aged man walked out.

"Patrol?!"

The white-faced Taoist boy's face changed drastically when he saw this, and he turned around and ran away.

"With this little ability, you dare to insult my brother?"

The patrol officer shouted loudly, raised his right hand, and the chains in his sleeves roared out like a dragon. In an instant, he caught up with the white-faced Taoist boy and tied him up like a dumpling.

Two more talismans flew out and lightly stuck to the forehead and chest of the white-faced Taoist boy.

The white-faced Taoist boy who had been struggling suddenly calmed down.

It sounds slow, but in reality it happens in the blink of an eye.

Nie Tai was stunned by what he saw.

It was not until the inspector looked over that he woke up from his dream.

"Nie Tai, the great protector of Yun'entang, greets the inspector!" Nie Tai bowed hurriedly.

"No need to be polite! My brother said you might be tracking down the murderer. I didn't expect you to actually come. Fortunately, my brother called me, otherwise, this would be your head."

The inspector smiled and picked up the white-faced Taoist boy's severed hand with his sword.

When Nie Tai saw this, he did not show any fear, but instead asked with a look of surprise: "Master Gu knows that I am tracking down the murderer?"

"if not?"

The inspector asked back, throwing the severed hand into the chain.

"But why didn't Master Gu say anything when I reported this to him?"

"Haha, you're praising your ability? You're embarrassing Bu Shansheng and all the land gods? Or are you alerting the enemy?"

The inspector's rhetorical question stunned Nie Tai.

"Young man, I understand that you want to stand out, but you also have to consider other people's reputation. My brother is kind enough to protect you. If it were someone else, you would have offended everyone."

The inspector's finishing blow made Nie Tai suddenly realize what was going on, and a trace of fear suddenly arose in his heart.

After a while, he bowed and said, "Nie thanks the inspector for his guidance."

The inspector nodded with satisfaction and said, "This young man is teachable. When you follow me in the future, don't forget me."

"Ok?"

Nie Tai looked shocked.

"Let's go! My dear brother is waiting!"

The inspector greeted him briefly and was unwilling to elaborate.

For some things, just one or two words of advice are enough. If he doesn't understand, saying too much will only hurt him.

After all, he was not sure whether Gu Yunli would accept this person.

As for the advice I just gave you, it was only to create a good relationship.

His virtuous brother is now seeing a dragon in the field or leaping into the abyss. For the sake of the future, he must not only make friends with his virtuous brother, but also make friends with everyone around him.

Especially those who might catch his eye.

"Excuse me, Inspector, how did Lord Gu know I was here?"

On the way back, Nie Tai couldn't suppress his curiosity and couldn't help asking.
