In the northeast corner of the capital city, most of the people living in this area are businessmen.
The status of merchants in Daxia is not high, so no matter how luxurious the merchants build their homes, they dare not go beyond the standard of the gate and the interior.
On a dark and windy night, in a courtyard, a monk at the third level of Qi Refining was writing something.
Behind him, a black shadow appeared.
At such a close distance, the monks on the third level of Qi Refining didn't feel the slightest, and the black shadow stretched out his hands to hug the monk.
Early the next morning, Gu Jia arrived at the crime scene.
It was he who agreed for the casual cultivators to enter the city of Zhongdu. These casual cultivators still obeyed the agreement and did not cause any trouble in the city.
The casual cultivators were all concentrated in this area in the northeast corner of the city, and the royal family came forward to let the merchants accept the monks to live in.
Originally, this decision was no problem, but everything changed when August came.
People were killed one after another, and they were just mortals before, but this time it was a casual cultivator who was killed.
Together with Gu Jia, patriarch Liu, the Dali Temple was sealed off.
"It's so cold and cold!" Gu Jia couldn't help frowning as soon as he arrived outside the door where the crime happened.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, did evil cultivators do it?" Patriarch Liu asked with an ugly expression.
"It's corpse refining. I can't tell if it's an evil cultivator, but the technique is too vicious, and it's definitely not a good idea!" Gu Jia said with a frown after entering the door and seeing the casual cultivator lying on the ground.
Almost every sect has the method of refining corpses, and it cannot be said that refining corpses is evil.
But refining corpses that absorb the blood essence of monks is beyond the tolerance of most sects.
The casual cultivators on the ground had all their blood drained, leaving only empty skins on the ground, which looked extremely strange.
"Gu Daoyou, this is a provocation against Tianhaizong, please Gu Daoyou be the master for us!" Patriarch Liu bowed and said.
Gu Jia nodded, this matter happened in Zhongdu City no matter what.
Although the entire Great Xia is under the sphere of influence of Tianhaizong, as long as the monks don't do things in the city, Tianhaizong will be lazy to pay attention.
But this time it was different, not only in the city, but also in the city of Zhongdu where the monks of Tianhaizong were stationed. Before it was a mortal, but now a monk was killed.
"Wait until I find this monk!" Gu Jia said in a deep voice.
He took out an 'Intermediate Tracking Talisman' from the storage bag with his hand, the spiritual power activated the talisman, and the talisman turned into a ray of light, locking the cold air according to his will.
The 'intermediate tracker' can last for three hours. During this process, the target's whereabouts will be sensed by the user.
"Follow me!" Gu Jia said to Patriarch Liu.
Patriarch Liu hesitated for a moment, and followed him out of the room.
Gu Jia didn't use the 'Light Body Art', only relying on her Qi-refining seventh-level body, she jumped over the high wall with a tap on the wall.
Patriarch Liu didn't have his strength, so he activated a 'Elementary Lightweight Talisman', and then jumped over the wall.
Gu Jia's speed is very fast, if it is not necessary to track the breath sensed by the 'intermediate tracker', his speed will be even faster.
He stopped near the city wall.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, what's the matter?" Patriarch Liu asked quickly when he saw him stop.
"It's troublesome, that cultivator manipulated the refined corpse to commit murder. When he arrived here, he put away the refined corpse, and the tracking talisman lost its target!" Gu Jia said helplessly shaking his head.
At the same time, he thought of more in his mind. Compared with these casual cultivators, he had a deeper understanding of corpse refining.
The refining corpse that can act alone, and a monk at the third level of Qi refining was killed without being aware of it, so the refining corpse has at least become a copper corpse.
The copper corpse in the refining corpse is a refined corpse that has become a climate, and its strength is equivalent to the Qi refining period of a monk.
Bronze corpses are also divided into middle and late stages, but as long as they reach the level of copper corpses, the refining corpses will have a strong defense, which can resist the spiritual attacks of Qi refining monks to a certain extent.
At the same time, the copper corpse also possessed enormous power, even monks of the same level would not dare to confront it, and the attack contained corpse poison.
The corpse poison of the copper corpse can stiffen the body of a Qi Refining cultivator. If it is not dealt with in time, a large area of the body will be necrotic.
Judging from the copper corpse that appeared this time, easily killing the third layer of Qi Refining shows that the copper corpse's strength is at least mid-term strength, and may even be higher.
Combined with the time of the Immortal Ascension Conference, Gu Jia has more associations.
"Liu Daoyou, I want to report this matter to the Zongmen, and let the casual monks take action. If there are monks who can find the trace of this monk, they can apply to the Zongmen for resources of five hundred spirit stones!" Gu Jia thought about it and looked at Liu said the patriarch.
Patriarch Liu's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he quickly realized it.
"I will spread the news!" Gu Jia can offer such a big benefit, so how can this matter be simple, Patriarch Liu responded.
"It's better if I think too much!" Gu Jia thought with a heavy heart, and he thought to himself.
Li Shiming has become an official, a loose official of the seventh rank, and has not been given a real job.
Generally speaking, Tanhua needs to enter the Hanlin Academy and become an editor of Zhengqipin, which is the most important talent training channel in the country.
But no one would think that the emperor was suppressing him, because he received several times more rewards than the champion, and even a big house.
At the same time, a "Jinshi Jiji" plaque issued by the palace was also sent to the mansion, which shows how deep the emperor's favor is.
But Li Shiming didn't move to that big house, but asked Mo Yan to take over it on his behalf.
Now there are only a few servants in the family, the house is more than ten times larger than this one, he will leave this place soon, there is no need to bother.
Li Shiming was eating, with a bowl of Lingmi in his hand and a dish in front of him.
This dish is stir-fried spirit bamboo shoots, which are grown from Fuling bamboo.
There is no other way. In the past six months, Fu Lingzhu has grown very well. There is already a main trunk, which is more than three meters high and almost reaches the top of the computer room space.
There was no room in the computer room for the Fuling Bamboo to grow recklessly, so the newly grown bamboo shoots became one of his spiritual food.
This also solves the problem of a single spiritual food, it is rare to have one dish and one meal.
The spiritual bamboo shoots have much more aura than the spiritual rice. With the speed at which the spiritual bamboo shoots emerge, he can produce one spiritual bamboo shoot every month.
One bamboo shoot is enough for him to eat for five days, mainly due to his second level of Qi refining, the bamboo shoot is too nourishing.
In fact, in other places, no cultivator would use spiritual bamboo shoots as spiritual food, because the value of spiritual bamboo shoots is greater when they grow up.
Li Shiming also discovered that as long as the Fu Lingzhu is not allowed to grow a second trunk normally, as long as the spiritual power is sufficient and the nutrient solution keeps up, the Lingzhu shoots will continue to emerge.
Anyway, he has no place to grow talisman bamboo now, so the bamboo shoots have become a spiritual vegetable on his table.
