Pawn Crossing the River

As one of the most prosperous cities in the Southern Continent, New Paititi is naturally a mixed bag of good and bad. Many people who rely on their own martial arts often cause trouble here. Some fight out of pure motivation, while others take risks and commit serious crimes.

There are many people with good cultivation among them. Once they succeed, they will immediately run away. Their white clothes may not be as white as snow, but their coming and going must be like the wind. If the ordinary Nanya Forbidden Army were to handle such matters, it would be time-consuming, laborious, and inefficient.

So Huangfu Zhu selected elite men with superior cultivation from the Nanya Forbidden Army and formed a separate guard to provide them with the best equipment, treatment, and resources. This not only imitated the Qingluan of the Central Plains, but also followed the Tawanting tradition of worshiping eagles and leopards. , and was eventually named "Condor Guard", which is the origin of "Condor Guard".

The "Eagle Guard" specializes in dealing with accomplished people in various senses and hunting down fugitives. Although they are under great pressure and are often in danger, they are also extremely generous in their rewards based on their merits. They are many ordinary people with no background. The fastest way to get promoted as a soldier is an ideal place for many young people to try their luck.

Under Huangfu Zhu's vigorous promotion, Shenyingwei's internal competition is quite fierce, and the capable ones are promoted and the mediocre are demoted, showing a benign development trend. Externally, they have repeatedly solved major and important cases, which greatly ensures that New Paititi The public security is stable and it has gained a good reputation among the government and the opposition. This has also become Huangfu Zhu's proudest achievement.

But at this time, something happened to the Divine Eagle Guard. While investigating a murder case, about a hundred Divine Eagle Guards discovered an abandoned temple in the Gyeonggi area. The person they wanted to hunt was suspected to be hiding in the abandoned temple. In the temple. So the Eagle Guards entered the temple to search for the prisoners.

The Eagle Guard finally sent a message back to Nanya. They were exploring the temple area. To their surprise, this abandoned temple was quite large. In addition to the two above-ground floors, there was also an underground area. Even the underground area was larger than The above-ground area was larger. They found nothing on the upper two floors and decided to enter the underground area to continue their search.

After this news, these Eagle Guards lost contact with the Nanya headquarters.

Huangfu Zhu ordered a rescue. When the reinforcements arrived, they found that the abandoned temple had collapsed. The strange thing was that it was not caused by some sudden external force, such as explosions, earthquakes, etc., but rather as if it had collapsed by itself after a long period of weathering. Collapse. But a group of Eagle Guards entered the temple to search not long ago. How could it become like this in such a short period of time? Where did the "Condor Guard" go?

Huangfu Zhu ordered the ruins of the temple to be excavated to find the entrance to the underground area of ​​the temple.

The Nanya Forbidden Army blocked the area and began a large-scale excavation operation. Finally, they found the underground entrance. Just like the previous cases, the underground entrance at this time had been covered by a strange secret.

Shadow blockade. Huangfu Zhu did not dare to be careless and blocked the news from the outside world, but secretly reported it to the Juesheng Church internally.

After the Juesheng Church sent people to investigate on the spot, they determined that the shadow that appeared in the ruins of the temple was the same thing as the shadow they had discovered before. Tantai Ying personally entered the underground area of ​​the temple this time, conducted a simple exploration, and No servants of the shadows or the bodies of the Eagle Guards were found, but a blood letter left by the leading Eagle Guard commander was found.

The blood book was written on a sleeve, and its contents were fragmented and the sentences were confusing. This shows that the owner of the blood book was not in a normal state of mind when he left the blood book. Not only was he confused, but he also had great fear. He repeatedly mentioned something in the blood book. One thing, the sky is about to wake up.

There is also a photocopy of this blood letter in the file. Qi Xuansu took a quick look at it. It was similar to a ghost painting. It is estimated that the commander was confused because of fear and the situation was urgent. After a series of strokes, it was simply a natural cursive calligraphy. . Even if he is still alive and not crazy, if he were to identify him afterwards, he would probably not be able to recognize him.

Where did those Condor Guards end up? What does it mean to wake up? Where do these shadow powers come from? No way of knowing.

In the end, this case was also included in the "Shadow Cases" series.

This is very serious. The shadows not only appear on remote islands, but even appear near New Xijing and New Paititi. Does it mean that the invasion of shadows has penetrated into Tawanting's bone marrow?

Of course, this is just speculation without any solid evidence. It is also difficult for Tantai Ying to submit the matter to the Golden Palace, the highest authority of Xidaomen, for discussion. After all, the steam gospel is the primary issue. The shadow is like chronic poisoning at most, which takes a long time to die from the poison, and the steam gospel is like The fire blunderbuss, sword and ax can make Xidaomen fall asleep immediately and never wake up again. Which one is light and which one is serious can still be distinguished.

Qi Xuansu sighed. He didn't expect that the situation here was so serious.

The last time he came here, his attention was mainly focused on the steam gospel in the north, but he ignored the shadows under these lights.

Are these things really related to Kukulkan?

Why do all the time points occur after Kukulkan completely replaced the original sun god Itsumna?

What is the criterion for classifying this “thoroughness” that Tantai Ying specifically emphasized?

And what does the blood letter say, "Heaven is about to wake up," mean?

Qi Xuansu has not handled such a professional case for a long time, or he has not had many similar experiences. The cases he handles all have a common feature. It is already clear who the enemy is. The key is to find evidence. The key is people, which have nothing to do with such mysterious and mysterious things.

Qi Xuansu is not even as experienced as Chen Jianchou in such a guessing case. After all, Chen Jianchou really solved a major case related to the leakage of dragon energy, and found two ancient immortals along the way, which made him jump to the fourth rank. Taoist priest offering sacrifices to wine.

The only thing that has any influence is the arrival of the ancient immortal in Yishan City and Chen Shuhua's secret refining of the "Eternal Life Stone".

Qi Xuansu suddenly thought of one thing. Could these situations be related to the Hell Apostles? After all, he has learned a thing or two about the methods of the Hell Apostles. For example, Sirila's "Heritage Sutra" is a bit unreasonable. If the Hell Apostles planned such a thing, it would make sense.

If Qi Xuansu, a lowly person, encounters such a thing, he will only feel mysterious and have chills running down his spine. He does not know why the people involved died or disappeared. This unknown will amplify the fear to the maximum and eventually crush him. own mind.

However, there is an old saying that goes well. People who are skilled in art are bold and have a high level of cultivation. They will look at everything in a different way. Everything can be deconstructed, and there must be an origin within it.

These unknowns must be driven by specific reasons. They are unpredictable because the core essence has not been grasped. The so-called unreasonable and illogical is just because the whole picture cannot be seen at a glance.

Shadow, blood book, black sun tattoo.

Here are three clues that are currently known.

Now it seems that it is more suitable to start from the shadow aspect. Since the unpredictability is due to the failure to grasp the core essence, then by analyzing the source of the shadow, whether it is the power of hell or the power of the sun, we can determine a general direction.

Just because Tantai Ying can't analyze it doesn't mean that Qi Xuansu can't analyze it. From an experience point of view, especially the experience of dealing with immortals, Qi Xuansu is still very rich. There are many kinds of immortal powers in his body, and he has personally explored them. In Lingshan Cave Heaven, Huangquan Kingdom and other former residences of gods, he can even seek enlightenment from True Lord Ziguang. Although True Lord Ziguang charges a high price, it can be reimbursed.

This is also the reason why the Taoist sect sent Qi Xuansu here.

There is a high probability that Jinque has other intelligence sources. Qi Xuansu is just one of Jinque’s many intelligence sources. Jinque

After learning about similar situations from other channels, and combining Qi Xuansu's information, Jin Que made a judgment that it was no longer possible to ignore the matter, so he appointed Qi Xuansu, the chief deputy hall leader and plenipotentiary envoy of Beichen Hall, to secretly investigate the relevant issues in the Southern Continent. The situation of the ancient gods.

Qi Xuansu took the map, spread it on the table, and found out the location of Kamakai, the island blocked by the shadow.

Although Jueshengtang briefly broke through the shadow blockade and entered it, it did not really eliminate the shadows. Therefore, after Jueshengtang withdrew and left, Kamakai was once again blocked by shadows and isolated from the world.

Behind the curtain of shadow, there may be dead silence, or there may be unknown secret activities. This depends on the nature of the shadow. If it is a plague-like curse that takes away lives, then it is the former. If it's just a man-made cover-up, then it's the latter.

Qi Xuansu wanted to go there and see for himself.

Since Jueshengtang can temporarily break through the shadow, it means that the shadow has not reached the level of immortal handwriting. If it is only the level of pseudo-immortal, then Qi Xuansu is still sure that he can protect himself and escape unscathed. After all, he has Wu Niang and The Buddha's relics given by Qiniang can move mountains and seas with a thunderous strike when necessary, and the power of Buddha's palm.

However, the return route of the "Sun Boat" will not pass through Kamakayi. Qi Xuansu needs to go to Danxiu Mountain first, and then go to Kamakayi.

Of course, Qi Xuansu was not opposed to this. He also wanted to meet the interesting Chief Deputy Master of Juesheng Church, Tantai Ying, and learn more details about the "Shadow Case" from her.

There is no doubt that Jueshengtang is not completely similar to Beichentang. Jueshengtang does not have the function of defense. It is also responsible for investigating some bizarre cases. Such cases have one thing in common, that is, they may threaten Xidaomen.

However, Huangfuji, the real person in charge of the church, only values ​​the first two functions of Jueshengtang, which are to collect intelligence externally and to eliminate traitors internally. They serve entirely for military and political purposes. As for these bizarre cases, they are all left to his deputy. .

When it comes to understanding these cases, Huangfu Ji is far inferior to Tantai Ying. Qi Xuansu even suspects that Huangfu Ji doesn't know as much as he does, and asking him is almost like asking a blind question.

This is also reasonable. For bosses, they don't care about the process, they just need to know the results.

Jinque doesn't care what the truth is. They only care about the results. While maintaining the stability of the overall situation, let

Those unstable factors completely disappeared.
