Chapter 451 Blackmail Letter, Everyone Shows Off Their Skills.
The head of the Jia family sat in the lobby and called Li Changxiao and others to read the blackmail letter together. The content of the letter was roughly the same as that of the old man, and the amount of the blackmail was also more than ten thousand taels.
It was simply a lion's mouth. Although the Jia family was a family that had been passed down for hundreds of years, the money was not picked up. Tens of thousands of taels of gold, after taking so many times, the family's assets were almost drained.
In order to raise money, the Jia family had sold more than a dozen shops. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were pulling out the tendons and pulling out the bones.
But they had to raise money. The head of the Jia family rubbed his temples, ordered people to raise money on the one hand, and placed his hopes on Li Changxiao and others on the other hand.
After Li Changxiao read the envelope, a strange light flashed. At this time, an old man wearing a purple round hat and a colorful robe took the envelope, pinched his fingers, and performed magic.
This person called himself the three-eyed old man. After performing several sets of magic, he took off the round hat on his head, revealing a line on his forehead. The line was black and quite Taoist.
It slowly opened, revealing an eye, and the old man's face gradually became younger.
He became more handsome.
"It turned out to be him." Li Changxiao muttered in his heart. He had heard of this person, a highly regarded genius in Xuanyu.
His name was "Dugu Hou", and he was the descendant of a mysterious sword sect in Xuanyu. The sword sect accepted disciples once every hundred years, and only one person at a time.
The vertical eye on the forehead was mysterious and unusual. If someone looked at it for a long time, their mind would be dragged into it and could not extricate themselves.
The head of the Jia family was shocked. The methods of the cultivators were indeed unpredictable and mysterious. I am afraid that only they can find the heir of the Jia family.
Dugu Hou collected his magic and turned back to his old appearance. "The letter came from the east of the city."
Hou Shao bowed his hands in admiration. "Brother Dugu is really amazing. He saw the clues at a glance."
Dugu Hou smiled modestly. "No, I can only see a little bit of cause and effect."
The vertical eye on his forehead was when he was young and met a wandering monk. The monk asked him for alms. He gave the monk a bowl of rice. The monk saw that his inspiration was too strong. If he didn't open a crack, he would definitely go to extremes and lose his mind and become a fool. So he gently touched his forehead. After Dugu Hou went back, his forehead was itchy and swollen, and he had a high fever. After three days and three nights of illness, a crack opened on his forehead. The back became a vertical eye, and the cause and effect thread could be seen.
As soon as this blackmail letter was written, the cause and effect were clear, so he immediately opened his eyes to track it and saw a faint cause and effect thread floating faintly to the east.
So he came to the conclusion.
The head of the Jia family asked them to rescue the heirs of the family, so they naturally put this first. As for who the kidnapper was, it was important but not important.
Now that the general location of the letter has been determined, the next step is to find it. Li Changxiao and others left from the back door, mixed into the crowd, and searched towards the east.
At this time, another old man showed his divine power, holding a compass in his hand, fiddling with it as he walked.
Hou Shao told Li Changxiao that the old man's name was "Long Qi" and he was a disciple of the Second Calculation Sect.
In Fuyao Tianxia, the Divine Calculation Sect is the undisputed first among all the calculation sects.
The second is the Ceyan Sect. Although it ranks second, it is more than one step behind the Divine Calculation Sect in terms of divine calculation, and it is used to relying on compasses.
The disciples of the Divine Calculation Sect can calculate everything and do not need to rely on anything. Such people are the most terrifying existence after the spiritual energy is exhausted.
Even if they were just mortals without any spiritual energy, they could easily stir up the situation. It's a pity that they were all destroyed, otherwise the current situation would probably change a lot. Although the Ceyan Sect does not have the gods of the Shensuan Sect, it is not difficult to calculate the origin of the envelope at this moment.
Finally, they locked on a shop. Several people, including Hou Shao and Li Changxiao, stepped into the shop together and found that it was a calligraphy and painting shop. There was a white-faced scholar sitting in the shop.
The blackmail letter came from him. The old woman holding a dragon-headed cane in one hand, hunched over, wearing brocade clothes, and wearing a hat that looked like a Buddha but was not a Buddha, grabbed the white-faced scholar's neck with one hand and asked him where the heir of the Jia family was.
The white-faced scholar's face turned purple, but he couldn't say a word. Hou Shao pulled the old woman away. If he didn't stop it, the white-faced scholar would kill someone.
Hou Shao slapped the blackmail letter on the scholar's desk and asked, "Do you recognize this letter?"
The scholar did not dare to neglect it. He took the letter and looked at it, shaking his head repeatedly, "No, no."
"You still dare to lie?!" The old woman glared at him, and the invisible might enveloped the white-faced scholar, and the fierce aura went straight to his mind.
This alone could scare some people with weaker minds to death.
Hou Shao frowned and waved his hand to disperse the aura. If the white-faced scholar was scared silly, the clue would be broken.
Li Changxiao glanced at the old woman. This was a woman with many wrinkles on her face, which faintly covered her original face, but her nose was quite straight and her face was also pointed.
Decades ago, she might have been a great beauty.
Dugu Hou said, "This is a disciple of Jiutian Buddhist Sect, named Xue Youlan. She proved her truth with killing and built a platform with blood. She was once a famous blood fairy and had many admirers."
The old woman frowned slightly and glanced at Dugu Hou unhappily, "Why do you still bring up those old things?"
Dugu Hou smiled, looked at Li Changxiao, and asked, "I think you already know where we are, but we don't know where we are, why don't you tell me?"
Li Changxiao clasped his fists and said, "Li Changxiao, Qingyu, Lingtianzhou, Panlong Sect disciple."
Li Changxiao found that this seemed to be the only title he could use to introduce himself.
"Lingtianzhou? It's very far away, what are you doing here?" Xue Youlan glanced sideways.
Even Dugu Hou and Long Qi of Ceyan Sect also looked over at the same time.
Li Changxiao randomly found a few excuses to deal with it, then looked at the white-faced scholar and said, "This matter has nothing to do with him, so let him go."
"It's irrelevant?" Xue Youlan snorted, "How could it be irrelevant? This letter was written by him, and even the paper is the same. How could it be irrelevant?"
The white-faced scholar frowned, "This is not my handwriting. Besides, this kind of paper can be found in any calligraphy and painting shop."
"But the thread of cause and effect and my plan are absolutely correct." Long Qi stepped forward and said leisurely.
Cai Yanzong's calculations needed a basis. He used Dugu Hou's causal thread as a benchmark to calculate the location of this calligraphy and painting shop.
It’s not difficult, and it’s impossible to go wrong.
Li Changxiao used dream magic to explore the dream of the white-faced scholar, and said: "He was bewitched by illusion and wrote this letter under unclear circumstances."
"He himself didn't know when he wrote the letter."
"Hmph!" Xue Youlan snorted coldly, "This is just your one-sided statement, how can we believe it?"
Halfway through, she wanted to say something else.
But he accidentally met Li Changxiao's eyes, those blue and beautiful eyes.
This old woman who used killing to prove her truth and made a platform with blood immediately shut up.
