Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 128 Another Murder
Cangshan Town is still very noisy at night.

However, as time passed and it got late into the night, things gradually became quiet, with only a few gambling houses still bustling.

In a gambling house called Da San Yuan in the middle of the town, it was bustling with activity at this moment. More than a dozen gambling tables were surrounded by people, including some highly respected celebrities in the underworld.

This situation is commonplace to everyone. When people come out to the underworld, they seek fame and fortune, and once they gain fame and fortune, they basically cannot escape the pursuit of enjoyment. No matter how highly respected a celebrity in the underworld is, he is still a human being, and human beings have interests and hobbies. The real underworld is not as romantic as ordinary people imagine. In fact, all kinds of people, wine, sex, money, anger, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling are the mainstream.

At this moment, at a gambling table in the middle, an imposing middle-aged man was so angry that he crushed the Pai Gow in his hand. He stood up angrily and said, "I'm not playing anymore. Damn it! This idea tonight is too weird!"

"Master He, are there ever any of your ideas that aren't weird?" someone joked.

The people around burst into laughter.

Sect Leader He said angrily, "I'll come back tomorrow night. None of you here today will leave. See how I win back tomorrow night!"

"Then we'll wait for you to send us money tomorrow!"

Sect Leader He snorted coldly and walked out.

"Master He, take care!" "Master He, I'll see you off!"

Joking aside, the people present still had great respect for Sect Leader He. After all, Sect Leader He was no unknown figure in the martial arts world. He was the leader of the Qingzhou Bronze Bull Sect, with hundreds of disciples under his tutelage. He was a well-known first-class master in the martial arts world. He had practiced the Xuansu Kung for decades and his skills were very profound. Most people really didn't dare to offend him. It was only at this card table where everyone was gamblers that they joked with him. If they met him in the martial arts world on a normal day, few would dare to approach him and speak to him.

There were two disciples traveling with Master He.

The three of them walked out of the inn. It was already late at night. It was very quiet and dark outside, which seemed like two different worlds compared to the gambling house. They didn't know who was interested in playing the flute in the middle of the night. However, they were very far away and the sound was faint and unclear. The only thing that could be heard clearly was the cursing of Master He.

"Damn it, how could it be so weird? I didn't catch a single good card all night."

"Damn it, I must wash my hands thoroughly tomorrow. I'm so unlucky. It must be the blood I shed when I fought those bandits at Liang Jinshan a few days ago. It must have ruined my luck!"

While muttering, Sect Leader He touched the wound on his arm, which still hurt slightly.

"That must be the case, otherwise my luck wouldn't be so bad!"

"..."

Sect Leader He was cursing and the two disciples were quite helpless. Their master was good in every way except that he was addicted to gambling. Half of the sect's income every year was spent on the gambling table, forcing them, the disciples, to tighten their belts to make a living.

As they walked, Sect Leader He suddenly became quiet.

The two disciples looked at it in surprise.

In the darkness, it was hard to make out his features, but Sect Leader He suddenly raised his head and said calmly, "Wait here for me. I'm going to pee."

The two disciples did not suspect anything and just stood there. They did not notice that at this moment, Master He's eyes were very empty and numb, and even his movements were a little stiff.

Sect Leader He walked towards a small alley nearby, and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

……

Late at night, in the inn.

Gu Mo was sitting cross-legged at the head of the bed with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, he heard a sharp whistle, like a sharp blade, cutting through the dullness of the night.

The whistle sounded high and passionate, resonating back and forth in the empty town, and the lingering echo startled the night birds, causing them to flap their wings and fly away, cutting through the night sky with a fluttering sound.

Gu Mo slowly stood up and just as he opened the door, he heard that Sang Tugong, who lived next door to him, had broken through the window and flew out. In the inn, the disciples of Canglan Sword Sect, Yuan Dao Ren and other martial arts masters who lived here rushed out of the inn one after another.

"elder brother."

Gu Chudong came out of the next room, not forgetting to carry her bookcase on her back. Her bookcase contained two famous swords, Lingxi Sword and Qiushui Sword, as well as the Qianji Box, which were very valuable. As a money-grubber, Gu Chudong would never allow these things to leave her sight.

She walked up to Gu Mo and asked, "Should we go take a look?"

At this time, the sisters Ye Lingsu and Ye Wanyue also walked out of the room, both looking a little lazy. Ye Lingsu yawned lightly and said, "Those whistles were made by the disciples of Canglan Sword Sect today. In order to track down the murderer, they were sent out in large quantities so that they could give warnings at any time. If anything goes wrong, they would blow the whistle immediately. I'm afraid they have discovered the murderer's whereabouts."

"I see." Gu Mo nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look together." Just as he was about to leave, Gu Mo asked again, "Are your two wounds okay?"

Ye Lingsu waved her hand and said, "They are just some superficial injuries. Because of the poison, the wounds haven't healed yet, but the movement is not affected. There will just be some bleeding and a bit of smell."

"That's good. I was still worried about your injuries." Gu Mo said.

Ye Lingsu was very unconvinced and said, "Master Gu, although you are a master of martial arts, you should not think that the decades of internal strength training we sisters have cultivated were in vain, okay?" "You are revealing your age, fairies!"

Ye Lingsu: “…”

Ye Wanyue: “…”

No matter which world or era, women are very sensitive to age issues.

Then, a group of four people also used their lightness skills to fly over.

Gu Mo's Qinggong was very fast, and his ability to lock onto a position was also unique. Although the whistle had stopped at this moment, he still accurately locked onto the position where the whistle had been sounded.

However, the place was already very noisy at this moment, and many people from various factions were searching everywhere.

"Everyone search in groups, don't act alone!"

"The murderer must not have gone far!"

"..."

When Gu Mo and the others heard those voices, they thought they had guessed correctly and the murderer's whereabouts had been discovered.

However, when they saw the body in the alley, they knew they were wrong. It was not that the murderer had been discovered, but that someone else had died.

At this moment, a group of disciples from the Canglan Sword Sect were lighting torches, and Sang Tugong was squatting over the corpse to examine it. However, more people from various factions were searching in groups in all directions.

One of Lord Sang Tugong's disciples hurried forward to pay their respects and said, "Master Gu, Lady Gu, fairies, Master He of the Tongniu Sect has been murdered. His cause of death is identical to Mr. Tieqin's, but the time of death was no more than a cup of tea. Therefore, everyone speculates that the heart-digger is currently in this area, so a comprehensive search is underway. Even if we can't find the person directly, as long as we can find the heart, it will be a major breakthrough."

The two Snow Ridge Immortals exchanged a glance, and Ye Lingsu said, "Let's go and help look for it too."

Immediately, the two of them quickly used their lightness skills to fly away.

Gu Mo did not go,
It’s not that he’s unwilling to help, it’s mainly because he can’t see. He can only sense people everywhere based on his perception, so he can’t provide much help in finding the murderer.

Gu Mo and Gu Chudong walked into the alley.
Those who were gathered in a circle quickly made way.

Seeing Gu Mo coming, Sang Tugong quickly stood up. However, the first thing he did was to disperse the disciples from Canglan Sword Sect and other sects who were watching the fun, and asked them to disperse to block the two ends of the alley.

Then, he whispered, "Master Gu, I'm afraid our previous speculation was correct. It's really the minions who are hunting down experts to refine the Heart Robbery Gu King."

"Are there any new discoveries?" Gu Mo asked.

Sang Tugong said, "We rushed here as soon as we heard the alarm, but we were still too late. When we arrived, Sect Leader He had already been murdered. The circumstances were exactly the same as when Mr. Tieqin was murdered. It was just that we discovered him a little sooner because Sect Leader He's disciples were here when the crime happened..."

Then, Lord Sang Tu recounted the events leading up to and following Sect Leader He's murder, saying, "From the moment Sect Leader He said he needed to relieve himself to the moment his disciples realized something was amiss and entered the alley to search, it only took half a cup of tea. Again, his heart was taken away without any resistance. However, this time, a clue was discovered."

While talking,

Lord Sang Tu lifted the clothes on Sect Leader He's arm and saw a scar at the joint of his arm.

Gu Chudong whispered to Gu Mo, "There's a scar at the Chize acupoint. It looks like it's not been there long."

Gu Mo nodded and asked, "Is there anything special about this scar?"

Sang Tugong said, "The scar at the Chize acupoint itself isn't anything unusual, but it's very strange that both the victims, Mr. Tieqin and Sect Leader He, had scars there. And the strangest thing about the murders of Sect Leader He and Mr. Tieqin is that they were both martial arts masters, yet neither showed any signs of resistance when they were killed."

Gu Chudong quickly asked, "Then, does this have anything to do with the scar on the Chize acupoint?"

"It has a lot to do with it." Sang Tugong said, "There's a kind of Gu called the Soul-stealing Gu. It's very difficult to cultivate, but once it's successfully grown, it has the power to control people's minds. To implant it, make a three-inch wound between the Chize and Neiguan points. The Gu needs to travel along the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian to the brain.

The most powerful aspect of this soul-stealing Gu is that it's difficult for the infected person to detect it. Normally, they won't feel anything. However, when a specific sound is heard, the insect's tentacles will stimulate the infected person's Tanzhong acupoint, causing their mind to be controlled, like a puppet, and they will even have no memory of the event afterwards."

Gu Chudong was surprised and said, "So powerful? If I use this Gu to control others, wouldn't I be able to unify the world?"

"It's not that powerful," said Sang Tugong. "The Soul-Snatching Gu can only control one person at a time. Furthermore, the higher the cultivation level and the stronger the willpower, the less effective it is. Take, for example, when Sect Leader He was murdered. Judging from the circumstances at the time, the enemy could only temporarily render Sect Leader He unconscious. Even his walking posture was a little stiff. However, for an expert, this effect is enough to kill someone."

Sang Tugong paused for a moment and said, "I just asked Sect Leader He's disciples and learned that they had encountered a group of bandits on their way here. During the fight, Sect Leader He's arm was injured. Now it seems that it was not an accident.

Coincidentally, the Shi family disciples just mentioned that they had also encountered a shady shop on their way here. During the fight, Mr. Tieqin was slightly injured, and one of the scars was on the Chize acupoint!

At this moment, Gu Chudong's pupils suddenly widened and he said, "Brother, I remember that Sister Lingsu and Sister Wanyue were both injured in the battle at Kongming Temple. Could it be that this wasn't a coincidence?"
