Chapter 115 Continue the Investigation
After I finished speaking, my uncle looked at me with a surprised look, as if he didn't believe me at all.
I was a little confused by his expression, and I couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, why are you looking at me like that?"
My uncle completely ignored me and asked me directly, "Xiaoyang, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Please say it again."
"Uncle, I read the book you gave me yesterday, and then I practiced it, and I felt a heat in my body."
This time, my cousin's eyes opened wider, and there seemed to be a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"No way, Xiaoyang, have you gathered your energy so quickly?"
I listened to him say this, and for a moment I didn't understand.
"Gathering Qi?"
I still looked at my uncle with doubtful eyes. He stared at me, looking me up and down, as if he was looking at a monster, and kept muttering, "This is impossible."
"What's impossible? Uncle, what are you talking about? I don't understand you any more."
My cousin looked at me again, "Xiaoyang, you just said that there was a gathering of energy in your body, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
I replied.
"Try to follow the method in that ancient book and see if that aura can still appear?" My uncle stared at me with his eyes wide open, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
I did as he said and circulated the energy in my body.
As soon as it started, I felt a burning sensation in my abdomen. I quickly explained the situation to my uncle. He looked at me and said, "You succeeded, Xiaoyang, you are really a genius."
"Do you know how long it took your cousin to gather his Dao Qi when he was practicing?"
My cousin spoke to me in an excited tone.
"How long?" I asked.
"Two years. My uncle took two years to succeed. You succeeded so quickly. If my master knew, he would be surprised. No, you can't tell my master about this . If my master knew, he would definitely turn against me and say that I gave this book to you privately."
My cousin thought about it and said this.
"Xiao Yang, I didn't expect you to be so talented. As long as you practice hard, you might be able to surpass my master one day."
My cousin looked at me with satisfaction.
He patted my shoulder and continued, "Xiaoyang, if you become a Taoist master in the future, you must never forget your uncle."
I nodded, but couldn't help rolling my eyes at my cousin in my heart. I thought he really thought too much.
This is just the first step in my long journey, and there is still a long way to go.
"Did you hear that, Xiaoyang?"
My cousin urged me to speak, and I nodded and said, "I heard it."
Only then did he smile with satisfaction.
Then we cleaned up a lot and got some food.
Fang Nianci arrived at around nine o'clock in the morning. She greeted us and my uncle said with a smile, "Miss Fang, you came really early. Xiaoyang has been talking about you for a long time."
I saw my cousin start to talk nonsense, so I quickly stood up and said, "That's not true."
"Xiao Yang, this is your fault. You did something and you don't admit it. Your uncle is really disappointed in you."
Fang Nianci's face looked a little rosy after hearing what her uncle said.
I was too lazy to talk to my uncle so much, so I just said, "Nianci, I asked you to check the common characteristics of those people yesterday. Have you checked them all?"
"alright."
Seeing this, Fang Nianci quickly answered me.
"Chen Yang, Lu Haolin said before that he didn't lie to us. The people whose souls were stolen were indeed born in the Yin Year. But there is one thing we need to check and pay attention to, which is whether these people are really dead."
Fang Nianci's words reminded me that I still need to verify this matter carefully.
I called my cousin and prepared to set off, but he told me that he had something to do today and would not go. He also told me that nothing would happen if we went to the village to investigate a case in broad daylight, so I didn't need to worry.
I don't have any worries about this.
"Uncle, if you want to sell pork in the future, you can let me know where to slaughter the pigs."
I reminded my cousin that after all, I couldn't become the god of the underworld now and forget to help him kill the pig.
My uncle waved his hand and said, "Of course I will call you first if I have any problem."
My cousin and I are both cheerful people who don't drag our feet when doing things, so after a brief communication, Fang Nianci and I set off together.
We sat in the car and it drove swiftly towards Huaishu Township.
When we arrived at Huaishu Township, we first checked the first person. The first person was a relative of ours, and his name was Chen Fa.
Because we had been here yesterday, I was quite familiar with this road. When I arrived at the door, I raised my hand and knocked. Soon someone came out of the house. After he came out, I locked my eyes on him. Judging from his appearance, he should be around twenty years old.
The deceased, Chen Fa, was 40 years old. I asked him, "Hello, is Uncle Chen Fa home?"
When I mentioned the name Chen Fa just now, the young man in front of me suddenly became a little alert.
"who are you?"
"Oh, we are from the city, selling pork. Uncle Chen Fa bought pork from our house before, but he didn't give us some money. We want to find him."
I didn’t directly ask the young man whether his father was dead?
If I ask directly like this, I might get a bad look, so I paused for a moment and said this.
The young man's expression changed slightly, and he continued, "My father never told me when this happened."
"Then let's talk to your dad directly..."
"My father is dead."
After I finished speaking, the young man spoke to me with a cold face.
I immediately confirmed my purpose of coming here: Chen Fa was dead.
While I was distracted, Fang Nianci saw this and quickly said, "Sorry, we don't know..."
The young man was easy to talk to, and he immediately said, "It's okay, I'll pay you the money my dad owes you."
I came back to my senses and said, "It's not much money, forget it, I'm really sorry to bother you."
I drove away and then we went to the home of the second deceased. The second deceased was a man, about thirty years old.
When we arrived, we found that the yard of this family's house was very quiet.
There was only a child of seven or eight years old playing in the yard.
As soon as we got to the door, the little boy shouted, "Mom, someone is looking for you outside."
The little boy kept shouting, and then we saw a woman coming out of the house, but this woman looked really haggard.
