Cecilia smiled and said, "it doesn''t matter. The man I like should be the best. If Chen Rong doesn''t feel anything about you, it''s abnormal."


    Bai Xiaowen breathed out a little and thought silently in her heart, how boring it would be if Shuyi had the mentality of Cecilia.


    The fun of beautiful men is so simple and boring.


    Cecilia returned to the subject: "this heroic task, even the Shangqing sect can''t find the murderer. Are you sure?"


    Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "first of all, no matter whether I can complete the task or not, I have got the opportunity to open up the situation within the Shangqing sect by taking the task. I don''t lose it. Anyway, if the task can''t be completed, there is no punishment. I must take it."


    After a pause, Bai Xiaowen continued, "I''m sure whether this task can be completed. The soul of the slain disciple named Zhou Wu has been absorbed into the black soul stone... Oh, no, it should be called the face of death mask."


    After killing the latent incarnation of death nagor, the function of black soul stone (the face of death) has changed greatly.


    One of the inconspicuous functions is that when absorbing the soul of the strong, it is not limited to Bai Xiaowen''s own killing.


    Of course, there are certain limitations in this way of absorption, that is, the absorption of the face of death has the power of instinctive resistance.


    Only the soul weaker than Bai Xiaowen was unable to resist attraction.


    Those who were stronger than Bai Xiaowen could resist the absorption of the face of death. Unless the strong man himself was killed by Bai Xiaowen, he can''t resist.


    Bai Xiaowen fully grasped the function of the black soul stone. Naturally, it could also consume a certain amount of Soul Essence and retain the memory of the strong man before his death.


    Of course, it was not too long after Zhou Wu''s death that Bai Xiaowen rushed to the scene. If the time is too long, Zhou Wu''s soul will disappear by itself, so he can''t be attracted by the face of death.


    Bai Xiaowen then chose to extract Zhou Wu''s soul, and soon a confused virtual shadow appeared.


    Note that what is absorbed here is only the remnant soul, which is different from that of Kitts. Kitts is voluntarily absorbed, so his soul is complete and can communicate with the outside world in a normal way; Zhou Wu was definitely not absorbed voluntarily. In addition, he had great strength during his life, which led to the mutilation of his soul.


    Zhou Wu''s ghost can''t see or hear real things or sounds. It''s impossible to ask in the ordinary way, unless it has Qiao Rui''s soul speaker ability.


    However, Bai Xiaowen has his own communication method for the soul absorbed by the face of death. He closed his eyes slightly, and a trace of spiritual consciousness led him to the past, probing into Zhou Wu''s soul memory.


    In Zhou Wu''s sea of consciousness, pieces of memory float gently like fireflies, in which bright fireflies are deep memories and dark fireflies are meaningless shallow memories.


    Bai Xiaowen quickly came into contact with pieces of memory.


    Zhou Wu''s life was also gradually outlined in his mind.


    When I joined the Shangqing school as a teacher since childhood, I first emerged from the outside disciples and stood out in the competition among the outside disciples


    A senior sister of the outer gate admired Zhou Wu, but Zhou Wu refused


    After entering the inner gate, Zhou Wu studied hard and became a new star of the Shangqing school. Every time he competed and tried, he always made progress


    Conflicts and frictions arising from daily practice with inner disciples and brothers


    Bai Xiaowen quickly passed these memories that had nothing to do with solving the case.


    Finally, an extremely bright memory fragment was captured by Bai Xiaowen''s spiritual consciousness, and then probed into it.


    Well, this should be the last memory fragment before Zhou Wu died


    As before, Bai Xiaowen''s "perspective" quickly became Zhou Wu''s perspective. Just like watching a first person perspective film, it can''t make any changes in perspective.


    Moreover, the scenery of the perspective is also clear and fuzzy, which is related to Zhou Wu''s attention tendency at that time. The memory of what he noticed is very clear; If you ignore something, your memory is very vague.


    At the moment, Zhou Wu should devote himself to cultivation in the quiet room.


    Suddenly, the angle of view turned to the door.


    After a short pause, the door opened, and a Shangqing disciple with a thin face like a monkey came in.


    The monkey talks to Zhou Wu. Bai Xiaowen can only see the monkey''s mouth open and close, just like watching a silent movie.


    Then, from the first perspective, Zhou Wu followed the monkey out of the door.


    Take three turns and two turns and stop in a quiet and dark place.


    Then the monkey turned around, suddenly showed a look of amazement and pointed behind Zhou Wu.


    [make complaints about this bad trick?] Bai Xiaowen secretly Tucao.


    However, Zhou Wu, as an elite disciple of the inner sect and a seed player of the Taoist conference, was naturally not deceived to look back, but immediately urged Yuan Li to protect his body. From the first perspective, you can see the Yingying white light started by Yuanli.


    However, one hand was pasted on the back of Zhou Wu''s neck, soft as bone.


    The memory picture fluctuated greatly. Obviously, Zhou Wu was in extreme surprise and panic.


    Then the picture suddenly darkened.


    Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes.


    The ghost of Zhou Wu has disappeared and returned to the face of death.


    "Found a clue?" Cecilia came up. "It took a long time this time. It''s almost dawn."


    Bai Xiaowen said: "there are few clues. I only found a disciple who is suspected to be an insider of the Shangqing sect. I didn''t see the face of the real murderer."


    Bai Xiaowen then told Cecilia the scene of the last memory fragment.


    "The murderer is very powerful," Bai Xiaowen said. "Zhou Wu''s consciousness is actually very good. He has used Yuan Li to protect his body. But the other party seems to ignore his Yuan Li and directly broke his neck... It''s conservative to estimate that at least an expert at the level of elder Tang can ignore Zhou Wu''s body protection and kill Yuan Li directly."


    Cecilia said, "the Shangqing disciple who looks like a thin monkey should be the key. From the last memory, he cheated Zhou Wu out and asked the man to kill him."


    Bai Xiaowen said: "now the motive of the murderer is not clear. And we need evidence... The ghost of Zhou Wu is not suitable for direct evidence."


    "Why?" Cecilia Qi said that the Shangqing school should have the means to communicate with the remnant souls.


    Bai Xiaowen said, "detaining souls is an evil means in the eyes of ancient Chinese famous sects and decent sects. It''s the same as the Western magic world, which regards the undead magic as a taboo. Although I can help the Shangqing school find out the clues by handing over the ghost of Zhou Wu, what good will it do to me? Not only is it not good, but it may even be driven out of the Shangqing school as a demon!"
