The name "Lou Cheng" meant a lot. Lou Cheng was a peerless genius, one of the few fighters below the Inhuman stage. He was almost as powerful as Peng Leyun before his breakthrough. They were no match for him at all!
Therefore, they had to ask one of the most powerful elders of their sect to come here and set off immediately. Lou Cheng was not alone. He had the support of the Ice God Sect.
He might have come here carelessly without informing his sect, but in this situation, he had to ask for help. Even if the Ice God Sect had little influence in the provinces and cities around the ancient city, they still had a lot of masters. Any two of them would be beyond his power to contend with.
Well, the elders had to come here before tomorrow morning and search for Old Nanny Qiu within one day. If they couldn't find her and get the clue of the Fighting Formula, they would leak this information to Daxing Temple and try to get something out of it!
All kinds of thoughts flashed through the mind of Huang Zihua, the man in the black T-shirt. His tone and expression were solemn as he tried to get help from the other side of the phone. His words were concise and comprehensive, and he did not say much. Everything was contained in those two simple words!
After hanging up the phone, Huang Zihua calmed himself down and glanced at Xixi and Shen. He nodded reluctantly and said, "I've got something to do. I'll treat you to dinner later."
The mysterious disappearance of Old Nanny Qiu had put him under a lot of pressure. He didn't have the time to flirt with girls until he received Xixi's message. He wanted to relax and clear his mind to see if he could get some inspiration.
Now that a powerful figure was here and the situation had changed drastically, he didn't have the time to chat with girls.
"Okay …" Xixi and Shen looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know what was going on at the moment, so they answered in confusion.
Then, Xixi instinctively added worriedly, "Brother Huang, that, that stalker won't, won't come again, right?"
Huang Zihua gazed at her and said, "Don't worry.
"Don't worry, his target is not you."
Then he walked out of the alley and returned to the inn, leaving the two girls standing there in a daze.
Not me … The unconscious Brother Huang … The stalker didn't show up … Xixi looked at Shen and suddenly had some guesses.
We seem to be involved in something serious …
I'm afraid that the stalker is looking for Brother Huang. I'm just a cover …
After understanding this, Xixi was both relieved and scared. She felt curious and inexplicably disappointed.
At this moment, Ah Shen frowned and murmured to herself,
"Lou Cheng … this name sounds familiar …"
…
Now that his identity had been exposed, Lou Cheng knew that Huang Zihua would definitely ask for help. He wasn't willing to ask for help from his "parents" unless he was in a desperate situation. Therefore, he packed a lot of food and returned to the inn. While eating, he analyzed and pondered over the information he had received from Huang Zihua. He wanted to speed up his progress and try to be one step ahead of Huang Zihua.
Through the authorities, they found the local tyrant, Zhou Wei, but they didn't get any useful information …
They had sent people to keep an eye on Li Wanquan, hoping that Old Nanny Qiu would walk into the trap. For this eccentric and mysterious woman, it was very likely that she would retaliate after being "betrayed" by Li Wanquan.
Some of them were still keeping an eye on 15 Wanhe Street, fearing that Old Nanny Qiu might come home to fetch something …
Lou Cheng didn't come up with any new discoveries after going through his mind. He just eliminated a lot of possibilities.
Before he knew it, it was almost 8: 30 in the evening. His cell phone rang with a special reminder.
Yan Zheke sent a laughing emoji, "Haha, such a funny thing this early in the morning. Hello, Pervert Cheng!"
"What can I do? I'm also helpless. I don't know how to follow people …" Lou Cheng sent a crying emoji.
It wasn't a good experience to be a pervert, except in front of Ke.
"What do the two girls look like?" Yan Zheke sent a laughing emoji.
"They're so-so. I can recognize them if I see them, but I can't remember them if I don't see them." Lou Cheng thought of something and answered with a little exaggeration.
Yan Zheke sent a biting emoji, "You're lying. If they're not pretty, why would Huang Zihua hit on them? After all, he's at the Dan stage! "
"Maybe it's because it's hard for me to go from luxury to frugality." Lou Cheng saw that his little fairy had fallen into his trap and sent a laughing emoji.
Yan Zheke paused for a moment before replying, "I almost laughed out loud and spat out the milk. My mom looked at me strangely … Oh, by the way, have you found any clues? "
She was in a good mood and brought the topic back to the right track.
"Does it count as a clue if all the clues are gone?" Lou Cheng told his wife what he had concluded.
"Yes." Yan Zheke sent a contemplative emoji with her hands on her chin. "According to mystery novels, we have to go back to the starting point and start again. Since we can't figure out how Old Nanny Qiu left the yard, we have to go back to the place where she disappeared and start again …"
"So, I plan to go to Old Nanny Qiu's house at three in the morning to see if there are any clues left by others. They can't find it, but it doesn't mean I can't. Not many people below the level of physical invulnerability can master a unique skill like Ice Mirror!" Lou Cheng said tacitly.
"Hehe, husband and wife think alike!" Yan Zheke replied with a laughing emoji.
The pleasant conversation became intermittent after Yan Zheke packed up and left the house. However, the intermittent conversation didn't last long because it was time for Lou Cheng to sleep and recover his energy.
After saying goodnight, he sighed and entered meditation. He fell into a deep sleep.
…
At three in the morning, the alarm clock rang. Lou Cheng woke up at once and became energetic again.
After changing into his dark martial arts suit, he told Yan Zheke and himself, "Let's go."
In the dead of night, the lights were lonely. Lou Cheng walked in the dark and soon arrived at 15 Wanhe Street. Relying on his keen senses and previous experience, he found two hidden posts.
He waited patiently. When a drunkard passed by and attracted the attention of the hidden posts, he jumped over the wall like a big black bird and directly entered Old Nanny Qiu's yard.
He landed silently and pounced forward like a civet cat. Lou Cheng opened the door gently and entered the room, closing the door behind him.
Under the starlight, he saw everything in the room, including many antique utensils, paintings, and decorations.
It was said that Old Nanny Qiu didn't like calligraphy and paintings … Lou Cheng was puzzled and checked them one by one, but still found no valuable clues.
He looked carefully from the living room to the bedroom, from the bedroom to the kitchen, but found nothing.
Lou Cheng had no choice but to stop thinking and visualize the Ice Mirror. He calmed himself down and reflected every detail within dozens of centimeters around him.
Everything appeared. He walked back step by step according to the route he had taken just now. He felt that the surroundings were quiet and peaceful, without any unusual changes.
From the kitchen to the bedroom, from the bedroom to the living room, Lou Cheng suddenly "heard" a heartbeat, but it wasn't his own heartbeat!
Thump!
His scalp went numb. He stopped and listened attentively, ready to attack with all his might.
After a full minute, a second "plop" sounded from the bottom of his heart!
Thump, thump, thump … The heartbeat was slow and low, as if it came from the depths of the earth, like the call of an evil ghost.
Lou Cheng took a deep breath. The Ice Mirror in his heart was still there, and he got rid of all the creepy thoughts.
A few minutes later, he stepped back and looked at the spot where he had just stepped.
The floor of the living room was untouched, only compacted with soil.
And the weird heartbeat came from under the soil!
It's here!
Damn, what the hell is this … Lou Cheng swallowed his saliva. His mind raced and he had a few guesses. He suddenly sat down with his legs crossed and visualized the corresponding ancient word for "Army."
His aura immediately spread outward, like a doomsday snowstorm that darkened the sky, lowered the temperature, and pressed down on the ground where the terrifying heartbeat came from.
Thump! Lou Cheng sat cross-legged and reached out his right hand. With the help of his aura, he clenched his fist and knocked lightly on the ground. He said in a low voice, "Come out.
"Come out, I won't do anything to you."
As soon as his voice fell, a strange change occurred. The ground seemed to be wriggling, and colorful little insects drilled out one after another. They rushed up along his fist that was touching the ground like a tide. They were so dense that it made people tremble both physically and mentally.
Lou Cheng shook his head. The surface of his fist was suddenly ignited with a violent red flame. The colorful bugs were burned black before they could do anything. They fell like rain.
When there were only a dozen bugs left, they finally stopped flying like moths to the flame. A small, slightly wrinkled hand poked out of the compacted soil. It was not big and looked like a woman.
In the strange scene, another hand, head, torso, and feet all crawled out of the ground, outlining an old woman in dark red clothes.
"Old Nanny Qiu?" Lou Cheng secretly exhaled, withdrew his aura, and asked with a smile.
The old woman, with a straight face and a slightly trembling body, corrected him. "Qiu Huazhen."
Sure enough … Lou Cheng looked her up and down and found that she didn't look old except for the white hair on her head. She was dignified and elegant, not at all strange and scary as the rumors said.
Well, she used to be a beauty with many pursuers … Lou Cheng nodded.
"Supernatural power?"
If Old Nanny Qiu was strong, she wouldn't have to hide in this way … But she could hide in the soil and not come out for days like hibernation. It's hard for anyone below the level of physical invulnerability to do that …
"Yes." Qiu Huazhen stared at him coldly. "What do you want?"
Lou Cheng was about to take out the picture of the Fighting Formula flagon when he suddenly had an idea. He looked at the decorations and said,
"These are all antiques, right?"
"You know …" Qiu Huazhen's face changed dramatically.
"Not much," Lou Cheng answered vaguely. "You should tell me yourself."
Old Nanny Qiu and her gang must be a grave robber gang. No wonder they could find something related to the Fighting Formula. Maybe they have killed people before. That's why they didn't want to discuss with those two groups and kept trying to escape.
