Chapter 400 Shen He’s Crazy Father
Just knowing a general direction, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the target.
This matter seems a bit difficult to Gu Chen. Knowing that the other party is not a good person but not being able to catch him makes Gu Chen feel uncomfortable.
Seeing the change in Gu Chen’s expression, the thief leader dared not breathe. He now only hoped that Gu Chen would quickly chase the madman so that they could take the opportunity to escape.
Gu Chen turned his head and looked at him, and suddenly smiled, “It’s also a burden to bring you with me.”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The thief leader nodded repeatedly, his face showing joy.
“So, I decided…”
The thief leader looked hopeful.
“Do you know where the nearest Qianyan Army is stationed?” Gu Chen asked with a smile.
The light in the thief leader’s eyes dimmed suddenly. He was a little desperate and did not answer.
“Don’t waste my time. I still have to find that lunatic.”
Gu Chen raised his right arm and placed the slender blade on the neck of the thief leader.
Feeling the sharpness of the blade, the thief leader felt cold sweat on his head.
After swallowing his saliva, he hurriedly said, “I know, I know! Twenty miles away is the Qianyan Army sentry point!”
Between imprisonment and death, he still chose the former.
Seeing that he was sensible, Gu Chen nodded slightly, “Let’s go? Do you still need me to treat you?”
“Yes, yes!”
At the invitation of the thief leader, the thieves supported each other and limped away.
Gu Chen walked at the end of the team.
At a young age, his eyes were sharp.
Whenever there was any movement in the team, he would be the first to stop the other party.
In secret, Liu Yun watched all this.
Although Gu Chen’s handling method was somewhat different from what she had imagined, it was also considered satisfactory.
And the news from the thief’s mouth made Liu Yun a little concerned.
“Borrowing life… Immortals…”
“It looks like summoning evil spirits no matter how you look at it.”
Liu Yun frowned.
She had secretly used immortal arts to investigate, but there was no result.
The thieves’ words did not seem to be false, which meant that the person did not leave any traces.
This was even more suspicious.
Only those who had some contact with the relevant fields could do this.
But the other party must not be an immortal, and I have not heard that any immortal’s disciple had any trouble… Could it be a folk exorcist family?
Liu Yun did not come up with a result.
And Gu Chen had already sent the thieves to the sentry post of the Qianyan Army.
[Alice]: Let me think, could this person be Shen He’s father? I remember that Shen He’s father went out when she was five years old, and came back a year later, and then called Shen He to the cave, wanting to sacrifice her to the demon residue in exchange for his wife’s life!
[Ni Lu]: Huh? ! So explosive? (Pie(Shocked)
[Colai]: This is borrowing life by life? ! How could such a thing be possible in the world… Even if there is, the other party must not be a good person. How could Shen He’s father believe it? (Scratching head)
[Tinari]: Even Colai would not believe it, but Shen He’s father really believed it… Should we say that he loves his wife deeply, or… (Shakes head and sighs)
[Lord Ruotu]: This kind of person is completely crazy. As a family of exorcists, he is so stupid.
[Xueyue Zhuyang Zhenjun]: Shen He’s fate is very problematic. She will hurt others and herself. Her mother’s death may have been affected by her fate. Her father therefore developed resentment and gave birth to a demon in his heart. But this makes his daughter sacrifice her life to the remnants of the demon god… (Hesitant to speak)
[Wendy]: Against the will of heaven.
[Tewarin]: This is too against the will of heaven.
[Navia]: Does Shen He’s fate have such a big impact? (Paimon is surprised)
[Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun]: Don’t be afraid, Shen He has a red string on him, so he won’t harm innocent people.
[Ke Lai]: It’s not that I’m afraid of Shen He! But this is too ridiculous!
[Ni Lu]: I can’t understand it!!
[Yao Yao]: Fortunately, Sister Shen He met Aunt Liu Yun! (Lucky)
[Lu Ye Yuan Hei Zang]: Only knowing a general direction, it should be difficult for Mr. Gu Chen to find the other party… The process of chasing will also take a lot of time. From a time perspective, it feels too late.
[Albedo]: After a day, we still don’t know where the other party is going. It is not realistic to want to catch up unless there are more clues.
[Ruo Tuo Dragon King]: It depends on whether Brother Gu has any solution. (Spreading his hands)
[Osel]: To be fair, I think that at this age, Brother Gu is probably helpless. (Shaking his head)
…
Gu Chen handed the thieves over to the Qianyan Army for custody.
They will be sent to Liyue Harbor for sentencing and then jailed.
Gu Chen asked the Qianyan Army based on the information given by the thieves, and the Qianyan Army had never seen the people described.
“This kind of thing must involve power beyond mortals, right?”
“Little knight, maybe you can go to those exorcist families and ask if there are any clues? In addition, we will report it, hoping that more professional people will investigate.”
“Exorcist family?”
The alchemists of the exorcist family also know some simple spells. They have been rooted in the local area for many years, and they may be able to provide clues.
Even if (bacg) cannot provide clues, the alchemists of the exorcist family are also a great help. There is strength in numbers, and they can find the other party earlier.
“I know, thank you brothers, I will leave now!” Gu Chen clasped his fists.
“Little knight, are you okay alone?” Qian Yanjun was a little worried.
“No problem!” Gu Chen waved his hand.
“You are so powerful at such a young age.” Qian Yanjun sighed, still a little worried: “It’s just that you are too young, don’t fall into other people’s traps. ”
“Hurry up and report it. If there is an order from above, we can leave our posts and go and have a look together. Maybe we can prevent a disaster.”
“Has the messenger set off?”
“Don’t worry, they have set off at full speed.”
At this time.
Gu Chen held the compass in his hand and stood on a hillside.
The needle in the compass rotated rapidly, and he also took in everything in all directions.
“There is no evil breath at all…”
Gu Chen sighed and had a headache.
Take out the map given by Qianyan Army. After several comparisons, Gu Chen chose a road that can take into account a large area. The final destination is the location of an exorcist family.
“Let’s go! ”
Gu Chen carried the knife and walked quickly along the road.
[Xiaogong]: Is there anyone who knows how far this location is from Shenhe’s home? (Urgent)
[Xingqiu]: The final destination of this road… Isn’t this Chongyun’s hometown?
[Chongyun]: It’s really my hometown! It’s less than 200 miles away from my aunt’s home!
[Nilu]: Less than 200 miles, isn’t that still a bit far? (Worried)
[Kelai]: It’s very close to the target location! At least it means the route is correct. When the time comes, Chongyun’s family should have clues and find the target, right? (Ganyu prays)
[Xiawolei]: From Chongyun’s attitude towards Shenhe, Judging from the names, they are relatives. Since they are relatives, they probably know the situation of her family. Combined with some descriptions, it is not difficult to find clues, but I don’t know whether it will be in time.
[Dixia]: Alas, although I know that Miss Shenhe will be fine in the end, I still hope that she can be rescued earlier, so that she can suffer less. (Pray)
…
Gu Chen would stop every time he walked a distance to see the reaction of the compass, and use fairy magic to explore the surroundings.
Weak monsters such as hills, slimes, and tricksters are relatively common, but monsters that are fierce to a certain extent are not found at all!
“The environment in our Liyue is pretty good.” Gu Chen exclaimed.
Liu Yun, who was following him secretly, showed a proud look on his face and snorted, “Of course, the evil spirits that are too fierce will be taken care of by our fairies! ”
Gu Chen was exploring, and Liu Yun was also exploring.
Unfortunately, she and Gu Chen did not gain anything.
As for some weak monsters, Gu Chen did not have time to deal with them. He just marked them on the map and planned to go back and clean them up one by one.
Keep moving forward.
Gu Chen’s physique is different from that of ordinary people. He only needs a short rest of one or two hours, and his spirit will be extremely full.
Even in the middle of the night, he is still checking the map and rushing on the road.
Three days later, the dusty Gu Chen finally arrived at the location of the Exorcist Family.
“My friend, are you saying that there is a crazy person who wants to sacrifice human lives to evil spirits?” The clan leader was a little shocked.
“Yes.” Gu Chen nodded and put hisAll the information he knew was told. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Everyone was talking and discussing.
“This is difficult to do.” Someone shook his head, “It’s not that we don’t want to do it, but we want to find the target in this vast south, which is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack!”
“Who would think of borrowing lives? Is there anyone around us who has such a need?” Someone asked.
“I haven’t heard of such a thing in a hundred miles.”
“I’m afraid that those who can access this kind of evil magic are not ordinary people?”[]
“It’s hard to say. It’s better to check a large area, but it’s too time-consuming and energy-consuming… It’s really difficult to do!”
“It has to be done even if it’s difficult. Isn’t it what we pursue to protect the peace of one side?” The clan leader made the final decision and then said: “Even if we can’t find it in the end, we have combed the surrounding area, so it’s not in vain!”
“Clan leader, fellow clan elders, I suddenly remembered that someone might have such a need.” Someone spoke.
Everyone looked over.
The man said, “Do you remember that we have a branch of relatives who have separated from the family?”
“Go on!”
“As far as I know, their family suffered a drastic change last year. The wife died of illness, and the husband went out to travel like a madman… Could it be him?”
“Borrowing his life in exchange for his wife’s life?”
“This speculation seems quite reasonable…”
“He is also a member of the exorcist family. Would he do such a thing?”
“Whether it is true or not, we can’t miss any possibility!”
“I’ll go. Give me all the information and I’ll check it out.” Gu Chen said.
“Okay, little friend Gu, be careful!”
Gu Chen was going to check the people of that branch of the exorcist family, while the clan leader was responsible for other major directions.
With such a wide net, whether he can find the target may depend on luck.
After Gu Chen got the information of that family, he set off directly.
Gu Chen kept the compass in his hand. While he was on his way, he was also paying attention to whether there was any evil spirit between heaven and earth.
Perhaps this place is within the range of the exorcist family, the compass did not react.
Gu Chen’s speed was very fast. He crossed nearly 200 miles of mountain road in half a day.
Standing on a slope, he could already see the village in the distance.
“Is it here?”
“It looks fine.”
It was an ordinary mountain village, and it didn’t look like there was any evil spirit.
But when Gu Chen looked at the compass, the needle on the compass pointed in a direction and vibrated.
“Really?!”
Gu Chen was shocked, and then performed magic.
There was indeed a faint evil spirit beside the mountain village in the distance.
“What a courageous beast!”
Gu Chen ran away with the compass in one hand and the long sword in the other.
After a few ups and downs, they approached the place with the strongest evil aura.
This is a cave, Gu Chen frowned slightly.
He could feel that the evil aura here was slowly fading with time.
“Could it be that someone had come here earlier?”
Gu Chen was a little surprised, and then he drew out his long knife and explored the cave steadily.
The evil aura still remained in the empty cave, making people feel uncomfortable.
After his eyes adapted to the environment in the cave, Gu Chen clearly saw talismans pasted everywhere, and the brown lines on those talismans were obviously written in blood.
Sacrifice to the evil god!
Gu Chen held the long knife tightly and moved forward cautiously step by step.
After going deeper and deeper, Gu Chen saw the altar and more talismans.
At the same time, there was a petite figure on the ground.
It looked like a little girl, lying on the ground and dying, holding a dagger in one hand and an ice god’s eye in the other.
“Hiss…”
Gu Chen looked at the little girl in astonishment, and then at the altar.
From the fading evil spirit here, this little girl repelled a certain existence by herself!
What a will!
“Not good!”
Gu Chen hurriedly put away his long knife and stepped forward quickly.
With his palm on the little girl’s back, Gu Chen’s hand glowed faintly, as if his palm had turned into white jade.
While using his skills to maintain the little girl’s life, Gu Chen observed.
He noticed the other party’s pale face and chapped lips, obviously she had not had a drop of water for several days, and there was an unspeakable fatigue on her petite body, which was caused by exhausting all her strength.
Gu Chen hurriedly picked her up and rushed to the village outside.
After he took the little girl out of the cave, Liu Yun walked in with a frosty face.
After investigating, Liu Yun was shocked and angry.
What shocked him was that the little girl had such talent and perseverance, and what angered him was that the murderer who did all this was actually sacrificing the little girl to the remnants of the demon god!
Fortunately, the little girl repelled the other party.
“Hmph.”
Liu Yun walked out of the cave very unhappy.
And Gu Chen.
He took the little girl to the village and found a kind-looking family to help.
He fed her some liquid food, and with Gu Chen’s skills to help her recover, her life was safe, but she had not woken up yet.
At the same time, Gu Chen was investigating the murderer behind the scenes.
Because it was at the scene of the incident, Gu Chen’s investigation was very smooth.
“What?!”
“Old man, are you sure that the child’s father came back a few days ago?” Gu Chen was shocked.
“Yes! They are a family of exorcists. Shen He’s father went out to travel because of his wife’s affairs last year. He just came back a few days ago! As a result, this happened… If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t even know what happened!” The old man stabbed the ground with his cane. Obviously, he was very angry about this incident.
“Life for life, that’s how it is!”
The little girl’s name is Shen He, and her family is a family of exorcists.
Last year, when she was five years old, her mother died of illness, and her father loved his wife so much that he could not bear the pain.
According to people in the village who have seen him, he looked very vicissitudes during this period, with despair and madness in his eyes, and the whole person had a sign of madness.
Later, he went out to travel like crazy, and Shen He was left to the care of the neighbors.
And a few days ago, Shen He’s father came back…
Combined with the discovery in the cave, Gu Chen has understood the whole story.
Obviously, he was ready to sacrifice his daughter to the evil spirit in exchange for his wife’s life!
“Where is he?”
Gu Chen held a long knife in his hand, furious.
“Maybe at home!” said the old man.
“Where is his home?!”
“Over there!” The old man pointed to a location.
“I’ll go catch him, and you go tell the Qianyan Army!”
“Okay!” The old man nodded decisively. .
