Chapter 703

"You found it?" Xu Qi'an blurted out. He couldn't help but excitedly turned around and stared at the orange cat.

The orange cat cautiously stared at the night watchman's office and said: "Not too long ago, I sensed number 6's Earth Tome fragment … but on my way here to find you, the connection between the Earth Tome fragments was cut off"

"Then number 6 …" Xu Qi'an's expression changed a bit.

The orange cat shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, but my previous guess was correct, he was indeed sealed. Just now, the seal must have been undone for some reason"

At this point, the orange cat paused and didn't continue.

Why was the seal suddenly undone? There were only two possibilities: First, number 6 was moved elsewhere. Second, number 6 was gone.

"Hurry and inform Wei Yuan" the orange cat urged him.

The cat's expressionless face was hard to read, but Xu Qi'an could hear the Taoist priest's worry from his tone.

Although the Taoist priest is an old man, he still cares a lot about the members of the Heaven & Earth Society … for me, this is a good thing, I can ask him for help if I run into any trouble in the future … Xu Qi'an nodded and said: "I'll go right away"

He quickly ran into the office.

Once his figure disappeared, the orange cat lightly snorted and pondered:

What exactly is Luo Yuheng thinking? She hasn't done anything yet. With her cultivation and age, the Tribulation shouldn't have come yet, so there's no reason for her not to act.

She wants to be a Grand Preceptor, but she doesn't want to dual cultivate with the Emperor, what exactly is she planning? Hah, let's save number 6 first, if he's not dead yet.

While he was thinking, the Jinlian Taoist priest heard a cat's cry and tilted his head to look. A big grey cat was walking towards him, circling around him and sniffing around.

The Jinlian Taoist priest ignored it and continued to think. Suddenly, the big grey cat circled behind him and crawled on top of him …

Hm? Taoist Priest Golden Lotus was stunned at first, but he immediately reacted. He flew into a rage and turned around to give the big gray cat a round of punches.

…

Xu Qi 'an was running. He dashed into the Building of Hao Qi and did not waste any time waiting for the message. As he was running, he took out the golden token and yelled at the guard, "This is an urgent matter.

When he reached the 7th floor, he saw Wei Yuan standing in the observation room with his hands behind his back and asked: "What is it?"

"Duke Wei, there might be news of Heng Hui." Xu Qi 'an went straight to the point and did not waste any time.

"How did you find him?" Wei Yuan turned around.

Xu Qi 'an said, "Through the connection between the fragments of the Book of the Earth, Taoist Priest Golden Lotus of Heaven and Earth Hui finally locked onto Number Six's position not long ago."

Number 6 of the Heaven & Earth Heng Hui, a monk from the Temple, his Buddhist name, Hengy Yuan. When he was investigating the whereabouts of his Junior Brother Heng Hui, he disappeared for no reason. I suspect that he was sealed by Heng Hui or the Demon Clan. "

In other words, where Number Six was, there were either demons or Heng Hui. "No matter which one it is, it's worth paying attention."

Wei Yuan nodded and returned to the tea room. He picked up a brush and swiftly wrote something on the table, stamping it with a jade seal. "Take my order and find Yang Yan. Tell him to mobilize all the golden gongs and gather in the yamen's front courtyard within fifteen minutes. You don't have to worry about anything else. "

"The Jinlian Taoist priest is outside the yamen, we need him to lead the way …" Xu Qi'an said in a low voice.

"I know." Wei Yuan nodded.

"There's another problem." Xu Qi'an hesitated: "Heng Hui is in the inner city. If there's a fight, there will be casualties."

Dispersing a large number of people will definitely be noticed. Although the Celestial Commissioner's formation is mysterious, it can't be set up in advance, so it's useless.

"This is unavoidable." Wei Yuan stared at him and said, "This is what I've always wanted to tell you. I hate those who despise human life, but sometimes we have to know when to give up.

"Heng Hui is related to the Sampo Case, the sealed artifact, and the conspiracy of the demon race. As long as there's a chance, capture or kill him at all costs.

"Don't give up the big for the small because of a momentary moral concept. That will only lead to more serious consequences.

"I've read the file of Count Pingyuan's family extermination case. The sealed artifact likes to devour blood to strengthen itself. Heng Hui hasn't killed anyone yet, but I can't guarantee that he will stay dormant. With the power of the sealed artifact, once it devours the blood of ordinary people, it will cause more serious casualties. "

Wei Yuan is warning me not to make the same mistake as last time … He didn't say anything about killing Zhu Yinlou, but he doesn't agree with me … He's a conspirator, and I'm a policeman. Although I'm keen to appease the big sisters of the Musical House … Well, I'm not scum, I want to give them a home.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, he cupped his fists and said, "Yes."

Xu Qi 'an took the order and retreated.

He immediately went to find Yang Yan and met the expressionless Jinluo in the Sharpshooter Hall. Facing the latter's questioning gaze, he handed over Wei Yuan's letter.

After reading it, Yang Yan's stiff face turned a little solemn. "What happened? Why did foster father summon all Jinluo?"

"Monk Heng Hui's hiding place has been found," Xu Qi 'an said.

Yang Yan's eyes suddenly sharpened. He stood up, reached out his hand, and the silver spear on the wooden shelf flew into his hand.

"Yang Jinluo …" Xu Qi 'an shouted and asked curiously, "Without Jinluo in the yamen, will Duke Wei's safety be threatened?"

"I don't know." Yang Yan shook his head.

I don't know? Xu Qi 'an looked at him blankly and listened to his explanation. "No one knows how many guards foster father has around him, and how strong they are."

Secret guards? It's hard to tell if it's real or fake … Wei Yuan is really an old schemer.

Soon, the Jinluo in charge of the yamen was summoned and gathered in the front yard of the yamen.

At the same time, thirty silver gongs were summoned. There were no bronze gongs. Once a conflict broke out, the bronze gongs would all be sent to their deaths.

Xu Qi 'an ran out of the yamen and looked around. He saw the orange cat next to a wonton stall not far away.

"Jinlian Taoist priest, come here, come here …" Xu Qi 'an waved his hand.

The orange cat didn't pay any attention to him and simply stared at the cauldron, smelling the fragrance coming from it.

What's wrong with the Taoist priest? Is he hungry? Xu Qi 'an was in a daze when he heard a familiar voice behind him. "I'm here."

When he turned around, he saw a big grey cat standing behind him, silently looking at him.

"Why did you change to a different cat?" Xu Qi 'an asked in surprise.

"That's a female cat …" the big grey cat explained. Seemingly unwilling to talk about it, it changed the topic. "What's Wei Yuan's attitude towards me going with you?"

"Duke Wei is willing to work with you" Xu Qi 'an said.

The big grey cat nodded, lightly jumped onto Xu Qi 'an's shoulder and laughed by his ear. "Duke Wei … your respect for Wei Qingyi is far deeper than that of the Yuanjing Emperor"

"For now, I don't see any detestable flaws or character in him" Xu Qi 'an said in a low voice as they walked:

"Number Six is temporarily staying at the Hall of Recuperation in the East of the Outer City. That place is in shambles, the Imperial Court owes money to the elderly and children there. I revealed Number Six's information to Duke Wei. He didn't touch Number Six, and instead paid for the charity. But the Hall of Recuperation is not under the jurisdiction of the night watchman. "

"Heh, so you've been leaking information about the Heaven & Earth Society to him." The Jinlian Taoist priest said with a faint smile.

This … Xu Qi 'an's expression froze. He felt ashamed as if he had been caught red-handed by his boss, but he quickly recovered and shrugged.

"I gained Duke Wei's trust in order to obtain more information to enrich our Heaven & Earth Society's intelligence system. It's a good intention … Why aren't you saying anything? "

"Too shameless. I don't want to talk." The big grey cat sneered. "You're quite suitable for an official career."

"But Wei Yuan said I can't make it."

"Although shameless, there's still a bottom line. It's easy to be taken advantage of." The Jinlian Taoist priest commented.

"I suddenly thought of something. When the Grand Preceptor met me, he also noticed my uniqueness and asked for my birth date, but couldn't calculate it" Xu Qi 'an helplessly said.

The orange cat thought for a bit, then asked: "What do you think?"

Xu Qi 'an thought for a bit: "My uniqueness … look to the right"

The orange cat: "…"

…

Xu Qi 'an rode on the little mare and galloped ahead, followed by a group of Jinluo and Yin Gong.

The big grey cat crouched on his shoulder to guide the way.

After walking for two incense sticks' worth of time, it suddenly said: "Stop, in front of us is … that small courtyard, the presence of the Earth Tome fragment is there"

Xu Qi 'an pulled on the reins. The Jinluo and Yin Gong behind him also pulled on the reins. The group stopped.

He gestured behind him to point at the small courtyard in front of them.

The ten Jinluo silently exchanged glances, then tacitly disappeared from their horses. Their figures reappeared at different parts of the small courtyard, blocking off any possible escape routes.

The Yin Gong surrounded the courtyard even further away.

Xu Qi 'an silently waited for a bit, only to find that the Jinluo didn't make a move. Instead, they frowned as they looked at the courtyard.

What happened? Did they escape?

He jumped onto the roof of a neighboring house. From this angle, he could see the scene inside the small courtyard.

It was a small courtyard with two willow trees. Two monks were sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, one of them clasped his hands together, chanting in a low voice.

The other was wearing a black robe, his head was lowered and he was completely silent.

They were Heng Hui and Hengy Yuan's fellow disciples.

What happened? Xu Qi 'an glanced at the big grey cat on his shoulder, only to find that it also had the same confusion in its eyes.

"Let's go take a look" the big grey cat's tiny head was full of confusion as it urged Xu Qi 'an.

At this time, he saw Yang Yan approaching with his gun in hand.

"You're a step too late, he's already gone to Ultimate Bliss" Hengy Yuan's voice was hollow, without joy or sorrow. But it was also filled with sorrow.

Dead? This result caught Xu Qi 'an off guard. He subconsciously thought that it was a scheme, a facade, and a stalling tactic.

Yang Yan used the tip of his spear to lift Heng Hui's hood. It was a gray face with closed eyes, and there was no sign of life.

Yang Yan nodded slightly at the Jinluo crowd, confirming that Heng Hui was dead.

"Between me and death, he chose the latter, and his life was stolen by the demon hand." Hengy Yuan chanted a Dharma name in a low voice.

"Yang Yan, take a look at his right arm," Jiang Lvzhong said solemnly.

Yang Yan shook the tip of his spear, shredding the black robe with his aura. Heng Hui's right arm was empty, and the demon hand was nowhere to be found.

It's gone … Xu Qi 'an's pupils shrank, and he looked around vigilantly. He felt that his surroundings were no longer safe, and that there were many dangers lurking around.

Silver Gong who witnessed the scene felt the same. He instantly drew his saber and looked at the pedestrians around him warily.

"It's gone …" Hengy Yuan said solemnly, "I'll stay here and wait for you."

'Number Six is certain that we'll come?' 'That's right, the Jinlian Taoist priest can sense the Earthly Tome fragment, so he's waiting …' Xu Qi 'an came to a realization.

"Monk, what are you trying to say?" Nangong Qianrou pressed his saber with one hand. He still did not let down his guard.

"He didn't give up on revenge, he just passed the burden to me," Hengy Yuan said softly.

"I want to tell you a story, a story that happened a year ago."
