Chapter 67: Strange Treasure

  The killer has arrived, the one who wiped out the He family in Qingyuan City. No one knows whether this person is male or female, tall or short, and no one knows why they kill people. Many people only know that when this evil person strikes, Mingchuan lost seven lives in one night. The seven victims were all different identities, with almost no connection to each other, and were killed as if by a madman who kills anyone they see.

  In a short period of time, such rumors swept the entire Meichuan, making many people pale at the mention of that name, as if there was a terrorist lurking nearby threatening everyone's safety, casting a shadow of death over the entire city.

  Such a situation has indeed far exceeded the expectations of the perpetrator, Guo Zhengyang really did not think that his actions this time would bring so much impact to the city, even affecting a couple who were getting married, and the joyful atmosphere of the wedding scene was also affected.

  Yesterday evening, I was still teasing Guo Zhengyang's bride Xiao Yue with my sisters. Today at the wedding, they were all scared and nervous. The other main teasers of Guo Zhengyang, including his elder sister, would from time to time suddenly grab Guo Zhengyang's arm and then look around frantically, as if some kind of devil was hiding in the crowd.

  This situation is really speechless.

  At least Guo Zhengyang was speechless, yesterday he was still being teased by a group of women, today he scared these people like this, if they knew that the object of their fear and panic was the little brother who was gentle and playful in their eyes, I don't know what kind of scene it would be.

  It wasn't until noon when someone from the municipal government came out to refute the rumors that the situation improved somewhat.

  The police department said that last night's murder case was not a simple case, but a case within a case. For example, a female secretary was stabbed to death by her boss, and then the boss was killed by a mysterious person. Another example is an escaped prisoner who killed three people before being killed by another mysterious person.

  Although the details of such cases are usually not made public, rumors have been circulating wildly that a madman is killing anyone he sees, regardless of their identity or background, and people in the entire city are on edge.

  Meanwhile, the Municipal Bureau also announced to the outside world that no matter who is involved, the bureau will crack the case as soon as possible and bring the criminal suspect to justice.

  With this rumor being debunked, the originally chaotic city finally became slightly less panicked.

  At least, no matter how brutal the person is, as long as he's not a madman who kills at sight, it won't cause the whole city to tremble with fear. Although there are still many people who get nervous and shiver with fear when mentioning him, the overall situation has improved a lot compared to before.

  It was under such circumstances that Guo Zhengyang and his elder sister returned to Yanhe County separately. Although before leaving, he also invited his elder sister to go to the county together, but she refused. Her original words were: anyway, we have seen each other, and when you return, you will also go to school. She was alone at home facing her elders, so it wasn't interesting, so she didn't go.

  This is also a fact, Guo Zhengyang didn't force it either. After returning to Yanhe County, the new semester's courses officially began. That night, Guo Zhengyang didn't make any unusual moves and continued studying diligently in the classroom until midnight, when he took advantage of the darkness to slip out of the campus.

  Following the route in his memory, he rushed to the outskirts of Mingchuan City and dug up the nine treasures buried in a desolate land last night. Only then did Guo Zhengyang bring the treasures back to Yanhe County.

  These things, yesterday were not convenient to wear on the body he was buried in the suburbs, but that was only temporary. Now there is no need to worry about being discovered by older sister and others, naturally still have to bring back to the county.

  It was just when they were about to arrive at the county town that Guo Zhengyang stopped again in a desolate place.

  "No way to conceal the spiritual fluctuations on these things, they still can't be brought along, even if brought back to the county town, they can't simply be placed in school, but a place must be found to hide them." After thinking for a moment, Guo Zhengyang didn't directly go find a place to hide these treasures, but instead squatted down on the spot in the desolate wilderness to study the many treasures in his hands.

  Yesterday evening, because there were too many things to do, he only roughly browsed through these things and didn't study them in detail. Now that time is sufficient, it's naturally impossible to hastily find a place to bury them.

  Of the nine treasures on the ground, he had already identified four as spiritual instruments yesterday. Spiritual instruments were of no use to Guo Zheng now, because he hadn't cultivated his spiritual consciousness yet and couldn't use them at all, nor could he judge their quality.

  So the remaining five things were his research objects.

  These five things, one of which is the treasure that contained the attribute of lightning last night. When placed on the ground, it looks like a dull-colored lightning bolt. The main trunk is curved and twisted, with occasional branches extending outward from the middle, also curved and irregular, just like the electric snakes that suddenly appear in the clouds on rainy days, only shrunk to a tiny size, now only over ten centimeters long, with a very dark color, but the whole body is crystal clear.

  Also, there was the strange scale that Guo Zhengyang obtained from a woman's corpse last night. The scale wasn't large, but it still carried an intense soul pressure, which made Guo Zheng not dare to look at it directly.

  The third treasure was a basketball-sized, strange object that looked like a mineral, with dull and mottled colors, an uneven surface, and extremely irregular shape, resembling an ordinary stone. However, the intense spiritual energy fluctuations on its body were enough to prove that it was not simple, as the fluctuations on its surface were almost stronger than those of the strange scales. Although it looked like a mineral, it felt very light in hand, as if it had no weight at all. Even when Guo Zhengyang used the knife that had been swallowed by the gourd to stab it last night, he found it difficult to cause any damage to it.

  The fourth one was a small tree.

  The little tree is only a foot or so tall, as if it had been pulled out of the mud with its roots intact. Although it no longer has any soil attached to it, the little tree still looks crisp and jade-green, full of vitality. Its branches and leaves have not withered at all, and its color seems even more vibrant than most trees in spring when they are in their prime.

  And the last treasure was even stranger, because it was a cluster of irregular clouds. If you casually threw it on the ground, it would still float lightly on the surface and wouldn't really touch the ground. When touched by hand, the palm could easily pass through the cloud cluster, as if it were an intangible object. Yesterday, when Guo Zhengyang buried this thing underground, he was afraid that it would be dispersed by the mud or something, but today when he went to dig it up, he found that this thing was not affected by the mud at all.

  When buried, what is it like? When dug up, still the same.

  Even if Guo Zhengyang was a real person in his past life, he would still be confused by this batch of things. He didn't recognize any of them. However, he also understood that as a real person, he wasn't considered knowledgeable or experienced. In his previous life, he had always been a loose cultivator and struggled to survive. It was even difficult for him to stand firm in the spiritual realm. Then, just after advancing to the real person stage, he died due to being affected by something. Therefore, in terms of experience, he wasn't even comparable to some disciples from large sects who were still in the gathering spirit period.

  Encountering treasure without recognizing it is quite normal.

  Experience is not broad, so I can only study it myself. After squatting on the ground for a while, he couldn't figure out any clues. In desperation, Guo Zhengyang took out a cigarette and lit it with his lighter.

  But unexpectedly, the lighter he kept pressing couldn't produce any sparks, while this disposable lighter he bought on a whim still had gas.

  Kuang Zhengyang was speechless all of a sudden.

  He took off the backpack on his back and started rummaging through it. This time he had brought all his equipment with him, including various things that had been swallowed by the gourd before, and there were also two lighters inside.

  After rummaging for a moment, he pulled out two lighters, one of which was a disposable gas lighter and the other an oil-burning lighter. Guo Zhengyang continued to strike, but this time neither of the two lighters could produce even a spark.

  He was suddenly stunned.
