Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation, I became a role model of righteousness

Chapter 141 Going to Furong's House
The other disciples of Wanfa Sect really couldn't answer Jing Jianhong's question.

Although they knew that there was a young man in Xiaofu Town who was accepted as a disciple by an elder in the fusion stage of Mingyang Sect, they had no idea how the elder accepted the disciple.

So, everyone turned their eyes to the mayor of Xiaofu Town, Li Zuyao.

Mayor Li swallowed and replied carefully.

"It is like this, my fellow immortals. About a year ago, the young man from the Zhao family went to visit his grandfather's family.

His maternal grandfather's family happened to be within the sphere of influence of the Ming Yang Sect.

That day, the elder of Mingyang Sect passed by his grandparents' home and happened to see the boy from the Zhao family.

He discovered that the boy from the Zhao family had the aptitude to cultivate immortals, and that the aptitude was very good, so he asked the boy on the spot whether he was willing to become his disciple.

When the Zhao family boy saw that an immortal was willing to accept him as a disciple, he agreed on the spot to become the disciple of the Mingyang Sect elder. He said goodbye to his family and followed the immortal away that same day.

We only learned about the specific process after hearing what the Zhao family said.”

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

They thought that the people from Mingyang Sect had crossed the line and came to their Wanfa Sect's sphere of influence to recruit disciples, but it turned out that everything was just a coincidence.

After finding out the reason, Jing Jianhong no longer paid attention to the matter and continued to investigate the case of three families being murdered.

He had a hunch that those missing disciples were probably captured by the murderer of the family massacre.

Only by finding out the identity of the murderer can we find them.

It’s just that the murderer was so good at hiding that even when he scanned the entire town with his spiritual sense, he didn’t find a single suspicious person.

There was no clue where that person was hiding.

But one thing is for sure.

The yin energy here is so strong that it has even condensed into fog.

I'm afraid the murderer is from the Gui tribe.

The Gui people were mostly ordinary people when they were alive.

But there are exceptions.

After a monk dies, his soul will not enter reincarnation, but will dissipate between heaven and earth, and all his spiritual energy will be returned to this world.

Although this is the rule of heaven and earth, there are still loopholes.

As long as you disperse all your energy and transform into a mortal again when you sit in meditation, your soul will enter the cycle of reincarnation after death and get the chance to be reborn.

Of course, there are also cultivators who are unwilling to fight for an unknown afterlife, and choose to become members of the Gui clan after death and start over as members of the Gui clan.

The monks cultivate spiritual power, while the Weird people cultivate Yin energy.

The Gui among the Gui clan can also increase its strength by devouring those weaker than itself.

The competition among the evil ones is more intense and cruel than that among the human cultivators.

If one does not have a strong resentment in his heart or is not extremely confident in his own strength, it is impossible for him to give up reincarnation and choose to become a member of the Gui clan.

Jing Jianhong now just wants to figure out why this evil tribe hiding in Xiaofu Town has set their sights on Xiaofu Town.

And only these few families were killed.

Are these families hiding some unknown secrets?

Jing Jianhong had many questions in his mind, and he needed to investigate these questions slowly.

Not finding any useful clues at the Zhao family, the group followed the mayor to check the other two families.

Although the place where these two families lived was not as good as that of the Zhao family, they were still considered wealthy families in the town.

The living conditions seem better than those of most townspeople.

After searching the homes of Zhao, Qian and Sun, no clues were found.

This made Jing Jianhong and others a little annoyed.

This trip was more troublesome than they had imagined.

Back at the inn, the seven of them crowded into Jing Jianhong's room for a meeting, while the mayor and the shopkeeper sat downstairs and talked. In the guest room, Xu Zhi and the others were in a bad mood.

"Tell us what you think." Jing Jianhong glanced at everyone, and no emotion could be seen in his eyes.

"Brother Jing, I think the mayor didn't tell us the truth. I should say that there are many things he didn't tell us. He hid something from us."

Shen Zhizhi was the first to speak.

"What Junior Sister Shen said is what I wanted to say. What the mayor said was obviously untrue. He must have hidden important clues from us." Liu Yuwei nodded aside.

"Brother, why don't we arrest the mayor and torture him? I don't believe he can keep his mouth shut." Xu Zhi clenched his fists and said fiercely.

Jing Jianhong just glanced at him calmly and said, "You forgot the sect rules. You are not allowed to attack mortals."

"Isn't this a special case? If he hadn't lied to us, how could I have done anything to him? I'm not the kind of person who can afford to embarrass a mortal."

Xu Zhi muttered quietly.

"Junior Brother Zhou, Junior Brother Luo, the two of you go around town. You don't have to show up. Listen carefully to what the people in town are saying in private.

If they don't tell the truth to our faces, we don't believe they do the same in private."

The two received the order, cast an invisibility spell on themselves, and left directly through the window instead of going through the main door.

The remaining five people continued to discuss countermeasures.

The concealment of these people in the town caused some trouble for their investigation.

However, Jing Jianhong did not think this was a big problem. Immortal cultivators had plenty of ways to find out the truth.

On the other side, Jiang Li was in the room of the inn opposite and heard the conversation between the few people clearly.

Before they knew it, it was night. Jiang Li and Meng Jue did not rest, but decided to go to Furong's house while it was still dark.

"Do you know where Furong's house is?" Meng Jue asked curiously.

But he had always been with Jiang Li, and had never seen Jiang Li ask anyone where Furong lived.

"Do I need to ask about this? Isn't Furong known as the Tofu Xishi?

To be called the Tofu Xishi, her family must be engaged in the business of selling tofu.”

How many tofu shops can there be in a small town? How long would it take to search for them one by one?

Late at night, the two returned to their original appearance, added invisibility to their bodies, and disappeared into the darkness.

Furong’s home is easy to find. There is only one tofu shop in the town, and it’s hard not to recognize it with such a big sign.

When I entered the store, it was empty and there was a layer of dust on the cabinets. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a while.

"In Aunt Qiu's story, did you hear her mention Furong's parents?" Jiang Li reached out and touched the table, looked at his dusty fingers, and blew gently towards his fingertips to blow away the dust.

"No." Meng Jue shook his head.

This story is clearly incomplete.

What Aunt Qiu concealed is the key to the whole story.

I just don’t know what they are hiding that makes people in the town afraid to mention it.

Jiang Li and his group arrived one day earlier than the people from the Inner Gate Law Enforcement Hall.

They didn't spend the day in vain.

How could they not think of what Jing Jianhong could think of?

Jiang Li has been observing everyone in the town with his spiritual sense.

But these townspeople, even in their own homes, never spoke a word about Furong's family.

The only person who mentioned Furong was Aunt Qiu.

If she hadn't helped Qiu Lan deliver the letter, and hadn't come here as a mortal, they would probably not be able to get anything out of Aunt Qiu.

Everyone in this town is so cautious that they have to think twice before even chatting at home. Is this normal?
Anyway, Jiang Li felt that this was definitely not normal.
