Chapter 101 Yuanbiao, what do you think? (13)
Tap tap tap tap~~~~~
On the desolate ground, a series of footsteps rushed past quickly, the footsteps were uniform, like a trained army.
Soon, a figure broke through the miasma and ran out, followed by one figure after another.
They were the officials led by Li Yuanbiao.
They followed the team searching for the white light ghost, trying to take advantage of the situation, but unfortunately, the search team found nothing. They could only return empty-handed.
Suddenly, the talisman master Li Lao stopped abruptly and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop moving forward.
So the whole team stopped in unison, motionlessly alerting the surroundings.
"What's wrong?"
Li Yuanbiao whispered.
"Look at the ground."
Li Lao stared at the ground two meters in front of him, his face solemn.
Li Yuanbiao looked over hurriedly. There was a slightly flatter ground. The gravel-like soil was very soft. There was a human-shaped mark on it, as if someone had been lying here.
What moved Li Yuanbiao was that there was a black figure of the same size in the human-shaped mark!
This was certainly not a person's shadow, but a trace left after a person died.
And he had seen this kind of death before.
"Shadow ghost!"
Li Yuanbiao uttered a word with an ugly face.
"Yes!"
Old Li nodded, came to the side of the figure, took out a black compass, and a burst of green light was injected into the compass in his hand. A faint green light began to flash on the compass.
Suddenly, the slender needle in the middle of the compass suddenly turned violently. After turning a few times, it pointed firmly to the side and rear and did not move.
"The shadow ghost is over there!"
Old Li looked up suddenly and exclaimed.
"It seems that this ghost is hunting those people in secret."
Li Yuanbiao said with a gloomy face.
"Yes, and this is not the white light ghost. It seems that there is more than one ghost here."
Old Li said in a positive tone. He pointed around.
"Yuanbiao, what do you think?"
"The miasma is thick and the vision is narrow, which is very unfavorable for us warriors." Li Yuanbiao thought for a while and replied.
"That's right. Look around, there is a poisonous miasma, and the vision can't see beyond five meters. It is very dark even in the daytime. There are strange rocks everywhere on the ground, leaving countless shadows, which is just right for ghosts to hide. There is definitely more than one person who died here."
Old Li smiled faintly and said confidently.
Then he walked forward a few steps around the figure on the ground, and another figure appeared in front of him. They turned around a few times and found that there were seven figures on the ground nearby!
Old Li thought for a while, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"If I'm right, this is a trap, and the wick ghost grass is the bait to attract the masters of Qingshan City to come, and then secretly attack, and finally catch them all in one fell swoop."
"And the one who set up this trap is the demon of the Black Lotus Sect!" he said with certainty.
"So, is it possible that the spiritual grass is also fake?" Li Yuanbiao's face became uglier.
"It doesn't matter whether the spiritual grass is real or not. Since this is a trap, do you think we can take it away even if the spiritual grass is real?"
Old Li asked back, and explained himself without waiting for Li Yuanbiao to answer.
"Obviously impossible. The other party must have a backhand, but from the shadow ghost secretly plotting against these warriors, at least the other party does not have enough strength to eat everyone now, otherwise wouldn't it be better to catch them all in one fell swoop?"
"Then what should we do?" Li Yuanbiao asked with a frown.
"Haha. The best strategy is to run away. Since the spiritual herbs are a conspiracy, we will take advantage of the fact that the other party's conspiracy has not yet been fully launched and immediately lead people to retreat back to the city, so that the other party's goal of catching them all in one fell swoop will fail."
Old Li laughed and said with confidence.
"Old Li is wise!"
Li Yuanbiao thought for a while and praised.
He didn't say how brilliant this method was, but that Old Li was able to make a quick decision and get rid of the temptation of spiritual herbs. This determination was really extraordinary.
"Let's get a piece of evidence first, and then go directly to the Poison Pass, saying that this place is a conspiracy of ghosts, and let those big and small forces return to the city." Old Li said.
"What if someone refuses to return to the city?" Li Yuanbiao asked.
"I'm afraid you are talking about the Wang and Yu families. Now the Meng and Cheng families are leaderless and can't take care of themselves. The remaining second-rate and third-rate forces only follow the lead of the Wang and Yu families." Old Li smiled faintly.
"However, if Chen Ming is right, I believe most people will make the right decision. Besides, Yu Renlong, the head of the Yu family, has always been smart and should give up searching for spiritual herbs. As for the Wang family, haha, we don't need to care about it."
"Then do it!"
Li Yuanbiao thought about it and agreed after finding no loopholes.
When the officials walked out of the valley, they immediately alarmed the surrounding forces of all sizes. They looked sideways and talked about it.
When Wang Haotian saw these people, especially the giant crossbows behind most of them, his face changed and he immediately sneered: "Isn't this Li Chengshou? This guy with a knife and a crossbow is not trying to learn from the yellow bird behind and seize the spiritual herbs!"
It's no wonder that he was angry. He was already furious when he calculated that Yu Renlong was defeated across the board before. He didn't expect to see someone in the government trying to be the yellow bird today, and he almost succeeded.
If they find the white lantern ghost today and kill it, it's not certain who will get the spiritual herbs!
The more Wang Haotian thought about it, the more scared he became, and the angrier he became!
"Haha, Master Wang, don't lie! This city guard is afraid that someone will plot to harm the warriors in this city, so he came to protect them secretly." Li Yuanbiao refuted bluntly.
"I didn't expect that the city guard would be so virtuous!" Wang Haotian said sarcastically.
The people around him didn't believe it either. Although they didn't dare to confront him directly, they couldn't help cursing in their hearts.
"I really believed your lies!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Master Wang. This city guard has something important to announce! Bring it up!"
Li Yuanbiao smiled and suddenly shouted loudly, waving his hand behind him.
The surrounding forces immediately looked over to see what the city guard had to say.
Four constables came from behind carrying a large stone, and with a thud, they threw the stone on the ground.
"Come and see, there is a shadow ghost in the basin secretly killing people, and this is the trace left by the murdered person." Li Yuanbiao said loudly.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Before, the panic that had just been appeased by the Wang family came up again.
They all stepped forward to watch, and indeed saw a human figure on the big stone.
They were all in an uproar.
Li Yuanbiao took the opportunity to say: "This city guard found that this was a conspiracy of the Black Lotus Sect. The spiritual grass is the bait to lure everyone here, let the ghosts kill people secretly, and finally catch them all."
"So this city guard is here to take everyone back to the city. Don't give up your life because of greed. Now it's getting dark, everyone hurry up and pack up and follow me."
Those big and small forces were even more in an uproar. Many timid ones were scared to death and immediately began to pack up and prepare to run away.
Wang Haotian's face was extremely ugly. He originally planned to lure the warriors in the city to come and take the opportunity to solve the problem and clear the obstacles for the subsequent plan.
But Li Yuanbiao's move completely broke his plan.
He was very unwilling and stood up and said: "Li Chengshou is just talking nonsense. He doesn't want to monopolize the spiritual grass. Besides, who knows how the human figure on the stone was carved. How could it be a trace of ghosts harming people?"
After he said this, some people hesitated again.
At this time, Yu Renlong suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Master Wang, you are talking nonsense. The figure on the stone is the proof that the shadow ghost is harming people. This master can testify. I think someone doesn't want us to leave, maybe they are colluding with ghosts."
"Humph! My Yu family is willing to follow the city guard to leave."
As soon as he said this, everyone believed it and began to pack up and leave.
Wang Haotian hated it to death but had no choice but to watch everyone retreat.
"Thank you for your support, Master Yu!" Li Yuanbiao said gratefully from the bottom of his heart.
"The city guard is polite. I also admire the city guard's noble character!"
Yu Renlong praised each other for his business.
Where did the spiritual grass go? Others don't know, but how can he not know?
I have been worrying about how to leave without making a sound, but I didn't expect Li Yuanbiao to send warmth directly!
The third update is here! First of all, thank you all for your support. Today, my son is very powerful and went to bed very early, so I have made it to now and finished coding three chapters!
