Chapter 1754: Interrogation

Old Man Luo's chin was shaking, and he took a few heavy breaths, looking like his heart disease was about to strike, but his mouth still denied: "My lord, I really don't know where Pengqi is, how can I call it out..." Immortal Diyan sighed irritably and slapped down.

Stupid thing, not knowing good from bad.

A simple thing, why make it so complicated?

"Xiang'er!" Old Man Luo shouted, his eyes splitting, and he rushed up fiercely.

The person behind let go, and he fell on the small, soft, but lifeless body of his grandson, crying heartbreakingly.

His son and daughter-in-law died early, and for these years, it had been the grandfather and grandson depending on each other. Old Man Luo truly wished he could die in place of his grandson.

He glared at Diyan, his eyeballs protruding: "You are more vicious than Yakshas, the Immortal Sect will definitely kill you!"

These mortals were useless, only knowing how to say who will not let you go. Immortal Diyan looked at the Immortal tablet worshipped in the house: "You will fall to this point today, isn't it because of the Thousand Illusions? Stupid mortals, he killed you, but you still worship him."

He would rather watch his grandson die before his eyes than speak. The old man's mouth was tighter than a clam, and more importantly, time was tight, and there was no time to interrogate him slowly.

Immortal Diyan had no choice but to reach out and slap Old Man Luo on the forehead again.

He deliberately slowed down his movements, and Old Man Luo saw it clearly, but didn't dodge. He thought he was bound to die, thinking it would be good to go down and accompany his grandson. The child shouldn't have gone far yet.

Who would have thought that with this slap from Immortal Diyan, his head didn't blossom, but a white shadow was slapped out from behind his head.

The white shadow floated in the air, with the facial features and figure of Old Man Luo, but the form wasn't very stable, as if it could turn into smoke and dissipate at any time.

This was Old Man Luo's living soul. Immortal Diyan slapped it out, walked two steps to block the corpse on the ground, and then took out a stick of incense and lit it.

The smoke that came out was cyan, with a strange sweet scent. Living people would be dizzy if they smelled too much, but Old Man Luo kept sniffing it, even showing an intoxicated expression.

The more he smelled, the more he got high.

The incense Immortal Diyan took out was called "Soul-Losing Guide", which worked the same for living souls and dead souls. The effect was like a sedative for ghosts, making them muddled, not only losing their aggressiveness but even becoming dull, answering whatever was asked.

Immortal Diyan didn't use this move at first because it was more time-consuming and prone to getting out of control. It was best to let Old Man Luo agree himself.

Who knew this old man's temperament was more stubborn than a donkey, eating neither soft nor hard.

The living soul suddenly left the body, and most would forget what they had just experienced. Old Man Luo's expression toward Immortal Diyan was very peaceful now, roughly equal to ignoring—he only had that half-stick of incense in his eyes.

Immortal Diyan saw him getting high on the incense, and only then opened his mouth: "Summoning Pengqi, how many steps in total?"

At this time, the living soul had no thinking ability. When talking to it, one had to be direct, not asking questions in a roundabout way. If they turned even half a corner, they wouldn't understand.

Old Man Luo said dully: "Take food, call it, feed it."

"...... How to call?"

Old Man Luo demonstrated it once, which was pursing his lips, and then making a sound: "Zuo zuo zuo zuo zuo——Pengqi come, come quickly!"

"......" It was different from what everyone in the house imagined. Wasn't this the way to call chickens and cats? "Don't use any summoning magic tools?"

"I have never used one, it's just that when I call, it comes."

Relying purely on affinity.

Immortal Diyan finally caught one or two useful words: "What does it usually eat?"

"Dirt."

"......" Does dirt count as food, and does this old man need to feed it? "What do you feed it? What does it like to eat most?"

To lure Pengqi out, at least the bait had to be fragrant.

"Chicken chicks, preferably before the second molt, but not too small." Old Man Luo said dully, "They must be alive, at least twenty at a time."

Chicken chicks usually molt for the second time around ten weeks after birth. At this time, they were half-grown, running and jumping and chirping, very lively.

Immortal Diyan frowned: "What else does it eat?"

Even if Old Man Luo said Pengqi loved eating Profound Crystals and elixirs, he could take them out easily.

But these chicken chicks......

"It also eats dogs, because dogs are too noisy, it doesn't like them very much." Old Man Luo shook his head. "It is picky, either eating dirt, or eating chickens and dogs."

In the countryside, there were often dogs guarding the chicken coops and sheep pens. Pengqi wanted to eat chickens, so the dogs would naturally bark.

Immortal Diyan frowned, and someone went to the chicken coop in the courtyard to turn around, returning with a shake of his head: "None, just two eggs."

"Where does Pengqi usually hide?"

"Underground, underground!" Old Man Luo said. "I sit in the courtyard, and it can also drill out from underground, and complain to me that the courtyard is too small."

"Where do you usually feed it?"

"In the village or the back, back mountain..." Old Man Luo said two words, and suddenly stuttered.

"What about the back mountain?" Immortal Diyan was anxious. "Speak quickly!"

He didn't urge, but with such an urge, Old Man Luo's eyeballs started to tremble.

Whose eyes could move so nimbly when their soul was confused by green smoke? Immortal Diyan secretly thought it was bad, wanting to let the old man smell more incense, but Old Man Luo had already found his sanity.

His persistence and hatred in his heart, even divine abilities couldn't lock them, which truly made everyone look at him with admiration.

Of course, Old Man Luo also remembered the tragedy that had just happened to him!

"You harm people's lives, your hearts are vicious, the Thousand Illusions Immortal Venerable will definitely not let you go!" In just a few moments, Old Man Luo was manic and laughing wildly. "Wait for death, you are all waiting to be torn into pieces and ground into ashes by the Immortals!"

After saying that, he cursed, but tears and snot flowed down his face.

Immortal Diyan had never heard so many vulgar words, and frowned. One of the uncontrollable side effects of "Soul-Losing Guide" was that the soul would be more persistent and stronger... and even crazier.

Old Man Luo was completely crazy, ignoring his own precariousness, and ignoring the huge gap in strength between the two sides, rushing up to fight Diyan.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible to ask for useful clues. Even if he tortured the old man's living soul, he thought the other side wouldn't compromise.

Without Immortal Diyan making a move, someone behind grabbed Old Man Luo's living soul and squeezed it gently—

This mortal's soul disappeared, as simple as a soap bubble bursting.

"What to do now?" The person behind Immortal Diyan said, "I told you to build the tower first and then go to Yu Village, occupy the mineral mountain and then find Pengqi. You insisted on making extra trouble and wasted the most precious time. If this trip doesn't work, Miaozhan Heaven will definitely punish you."

Immortal Diyan said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense."

Stopping halfway to find Old Man Luo was indeed his temporary idea. The Tiangong team had captured a few captives in the lakeside battlefield who confessed about Yu Village, and he thought about getting some ready-made Profound Crystals back, because the Tiangong team's Profound Crystal inventory was in short supply. ===== CHAPTER 1755 =====
