Star Trace Gate

Chapter 658: The Smoking Dead Liar

After Ren Ye left the tailor shop, he followed the instructions on the hand-drawn map, looking for landmark buildings as references along the way, and slowly headed towards the Sanyuan Medical Clinic located in the upper right corner of the ancient village.

When he left, Mrs. Wang was afraid that her grandson would not recognize Ren Ye and would not believe his words, so she gave him a wooden windmill that children played with as a token of trust.

Ren also sensed this object and realized that the "errand items" of this star gate could not be stored in the consciousness space. In other words, the magic weapons and talismans obtained in the mission to attack the Gutan Sect may have to be carried with them, which means there is a risk of being robbed.

Although he had no money on him and was so poor that he almost had to buy his pants, he still became more alert, fearing that someone would attack him from behind.

The entire ancient village is shrouded in white mist, which makes people feel depressed and irritable.

However, Ren Ye was very patient and had a clear plan of action in his mind. He knew that it was his first day here and he didn't know much about the terrain, so he didn't think about how many tasks he had to complete.

First get familiar with the rules, then fool the smart ones, slowly accumulate and build up a team, until the final stage when you make a move... this is the rhythm of the scam leader.

In this way, he moved forward carefully all the way, and after getting lost twice, he finally arrived at the upper right position of the map of Gutan Village, and it was already after noon.

In the mist, Ren Ye looked down at the gradually smoothing ground and murmured softly, "The ground has become flat, we should be close to the center of the village soon..."

"Boss, Boss...Congratulations on your prosperity."

At this moment, the clear voice of the divine child came into his ears.

"What are you doing? Do you want to go out for a walk?" Ren Ye stopped and asked.

"No, the fat guy who deceived you just appeared here." Shenwa replied confidently.

Ren Ye was suddenly startled: "Is this true?"

"No mistake, it's him." Shenwa flew out from between Renye's eyebrows, wearing a red bellyband and standing barefoot on the ground: "He should have left not long ago..."

"Your perception is blocked by the miasma and your five senses are malfunctioning. How did you determine that he has been here?!" Ren Ye asked in disbelief.

"He has a very powerful Yin object on him, and he will leave a faint scent when he passes by here. Or... or it can be said to be a special smell, anyway, I can detect it. When I first met that fat man, that special smell was very obvious, and just now when I left that dark corridor, I... I felt the same smell in that group of people, but I was not sure. Now passing by here, I can be sure again, it is that deceiving fat Taoist priest." Shenwa is in the state of a three or four-year-old child, and has not yet awakened, so his logic is not very smooth when he speaks: "He... he should have used some special secret method to deliberately suppress that Yin object, so... that's why the smell has become vague."

Ren also slowly squatted down, looking stunned and said: "You mean, before you were teleported just now, you also felt that aura in the bunker?!"

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean." Shenwa nodded vigorously.

"My perception was clearly blocked by the miasma, how did you detect it?" Ren was a little confused.

The divine child bit his finger, then danced and said, "Boss, let me give you an example. Let's say your father has been dead for more than 30 years, and has rotted away to the point where there is nothing left but his bones. But one day when you return home, you suddenly smell his unique scent in the house... Would you be scared?"

"Your father has only been dead for more than 30 years!" Ren Ye squinted and cursed, "Next time, use an auspicious analogy. But I understand what you mean. Are you trying to say that the fat man passed by here and left behind that special smell, or breath, or even a feeling?"

"Boss, you described it very accurately. It's just a feeling, but I can't say..." Shenwa nodded and said, "The Yin thing on his body makes me afraid, but also a little curious... In short, I will feel uncomfortable when I touch it."

"understood."

When Ren Ye heard him say this, he instinctively looked towards the village and said with a deep gaze, "Dog Taoist priest, I knew that you went to such great lengths to cheat the Wanxiangmen of meat, and you definitely didn't just want to make some money. This behavior is equivalent to stealing manhole covers from the United Nations, and then selling them to a steel-producing country... I guess only Lao Liu can do this."

"Hey, God kid, can you catch up with him?" Ren Ye suddenly asked.

"I...I'll try." The divine child nodded obediently.

"Let's go and see what this bastard is going to do." Ren Ye urged.

……

A quarter of an hour ago.

The thin man with shifty eyes and unprepossessing appearance sat cross-legged on the roof, drank a whole pot of fine wine, and then fell into a deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, it was more than an hour later.

The thin man rubbed his eyes and cursed, "Damn it, the wine in the ancestor's tomb of Yuding Palace is also very ordinary... I even got drunk after drinking it. Let's go and see who has passed by our door."

The word "Daoye" revealed the identity of this person. He was none other than Daoye Chu who had previously deceived Wanxiang Sect and dragged Ren Ye and others into it as scapegoats.

Although this man's origins are unknown, he is extremely resourceful. He cheats, robs graves, makes fortunes, and knocks on widows' doors. In short, he does all kinds of evil things, but no one can do anything to him.

Among his peers, he had few rivals; and among his predecessors, no one could catch him. Back then, the Jade Tripod Palace in the fifth-grade secret realm was considered to be a domineering and prestigious existence, but because the younger generation in the sect acted too arrogantly and forcibly cut off Master Chu's opportunity, he took a shovel and found the tomb of the ancestor of the Jade Tripod Palace at night, dug it up clean, and even stole the body of the Taoist partner who was buried with the deceased.

After this incident, Yuding Palace has not accepted any disciples weighing more than 200 kilograms.

Master Chu got off the roof and came to the long street where the white powder had just been sprinkled.

He was in disguise, crouching on the ground, holding a burning red stone ball, and slowly shining it over the area covered with white powder.

Wherever the red light passed, white powder flashed with phosphorescence, and several rows of footprints emerged clearly, winding towards the center of the village.

"Hey, there are a lot of people passing by."

Master Chu grinned, lowered his head and carefully observed the white powder.

This kind of powder, which only flashes phosphorescently at high temperatures, is actually a kind of powder ground from bones, which is specially used for tracking materials and preventing sneak attacks from the enemy. And this kind of insidious thing is in abundance in Master Chu's consciousness space.

There is no way. The current migration is too competitive and everything requires professionalism.

In fact, Ren Ye's guess was correct. The reason why Master Chu went to Wanxiang Gate to cheat for a pass was definitely not just to sell some star sources. He had long wanted to enter this secret realm, but the pass had always been monopolized by Wanxiang Gate and was not issued to outsiders, so he resorted to this "bad plan".

There might be something he is looking for in the secret realm of Gutan Sect, but it should not be within the range of the bunker and Tianfeng Forest, so he has to spread information along the way and wait for an opportunity to sneak attack the people of the Chaos Camp.

Taoist Master Chu held the burning red stone in his right hand and carefully observed the footprints on the long street. Finally, he focused on a relatively small one: "This footprint is not big, it should be the jade foot of a young lady. Haha, it's your blessing to meet Taoist Master."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up, holding the flint in his hand, and followed the thirty-six-yard jade footprints away.

……

Soon, Master Chu followed the footprints and came to a small two-story house facing the street.

He saw footprints on the ground winding inward and the door was closed, so he knew that the owner of number 36 was most likely inside.

Master Chu was cautious by nature, so he lay in front of the door and listened for a long time before he tried to push the door open. He then followed the footprints from the inner hall on the first floor all the way to the side room on the second floor.

At this moment, he followed the stairs closely and saw the footprints were heading into the room, so he knew he couldn't follow them anymore. Because although the whole ancient village was shrouded in miasma, the area of ​​the room was limited, and if he got too close, the other party might see him or hear the sound.

Master Chu thought for a moment, then raised his hand and summoned the glowing white jade stick. Then he leaned against the door on the left side of the side room and gently moved the cabinet.

“Squeak, squeak…!”

Two soft gnashing sounds were heard.

Inside the room, a woman in the black robe of the Dark Fire Squad was sitting cross-legged in meditation, waiting for the live sheep to enter the pen.

When she heard the sound of her teeth grinding, she immediately frowned and instinctively looked out the door.

At this moment, she was exactly four or five meters away from the door, which was at the limit of her vision, so she could only see the mist floating at the door, which was blurry.

The sound would not appear for no reason, so the woman slowly stood up and walked towards the door with very cautious eyes.

A moment later, she stood inside the door and saw a mouse scurry past.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to go back to sit cross-legged.

"Woo!!!"

A sound of breaking air came from behind my head.

The woman turned her head suddenly, only to see a plain white jade stick coming towards her.

The stick in mid-air actually stirred the void and shattered it, creating twisted black cracks, but there was no fluctuation of any breath.

Her pupils contracted instantly.

"I'll be quick, just bear with me." The Taoist's voice sounded.

The woman suddenly pulled away, ready to use her magical powers to fight back.

"Oh!"

The stick that shattered the void hit the woman's forehead directly, making a crisp sound of metal collision.

"Gudong!"

With a blow from the club, the woman instantly fell on her back, her body motionless, sleeping very peacefully.

"call!"

The Taoist let out a long breath, staring at the woman's delicate body, and said softly: "Your body is quite good. Although I only used 30% of my strength, your head didn't break. You must be an expert in chicken clamping."

"Hehe, you are really from the Chaos Camp. My little beauty, you are lucky to have met me. I am just happy and will not kill anyone for the time being."

He bent down and squatted, and began to touch the woman's body with extremely professional movements, wanting to see if she had any treasures.

Not long after, he felt what seemed to be two talismans in the bag on the woman's waist, but before he could take them out, he suddenly felt a cool breeze on the back of his neck, as if something sinister was staring at him.

"brush!"

Master Chu suddenly turned around, but saw that there was nothing at the door and the evil spirit had disappeared.

“If you don’t do anything wrong, you don’t have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door, and you will be blessed with infinite happiness…!” Master Chu muttered to himself, then turned around and continued to search.

"brush!"

That eerie feeling resurfaced.

"Whoosh!"

Master Chu Dao pretended to rummage around, but he was well prepared. He suddenly jumped up and ran out of the door.

After three breaths, he went downstairs and looked around, but found a bronze statue of a ghost doll placed in the niche, emitting a faint evil aura.

“Huh?! Isn’t this… when luck comes, it can’t be stopped.” Master Chu smiled slightly, reached out and picked up the bronze statue of the ghost doll, and said softly: “There is actually a magic weapon in this shabby house.”

After he finished speaking, he took the bronze statue and sensed it, but found that an extremely cold aura was repelling him and he could not take it into his consciousness.

"Recognize the Lord?! Were you teasing me just now?"

Master Chu sneered and said, "Haha, it's okay. I'll talk to you about your treatment later."

He reached out and tied the ghost child statue to the cloth bag around his waist, then walked upstairs.

After a while, he returned to the room on the second floor, but was stunned for a moment: "I...fuck you, you blessed and blessed angel!"

"Where is Daoye's beauty?!"

The ground was empty, and the beauty who had been hit by a club had disappeared.

"Did I enter the wrong room?!"

Dao Ye felt that his CPU was a little burned. He looked around in a daze and said uncertainly: "That's right, Dao Ye, I'm here. Do you want to take off her clothes?!"
