Vol 2 Chapter 38: murder

The rain water flows down the corners of the eaves, forming an intermittent curtain of water. When the cold wind blows, it blows in diagonally like flying flowers and broken jade.
Xiangzhou is located in the southwest. It is cold and dry in winter, and when it rains, it is cold and humid, and the cold is soaked in the bones.
The crowd sat around the bonfire, with plenty of firewood, and the flames dispelled the coldness of the rainy night.
"The Demon Slaying Conference convened by Aunt Chai's family?"
Li Lingsu's expression became weird, and he asked, "Who is the slaughter of demons? Has something happened to the Chai family?"
Xu Qi'an fiddled with the bonfire, and suddenly understood why Tianzong wanted to take the Saint Son and Saint Daughter back together.
In Tianzong's eyes, Li Miaozhen's chivalrous chivalry might not be wrong. Her real fault lies in her inflated sense of justice and being trapped by "love".
In the same way, Li Lingsu's real fault is not that he sleeps with women everywhere. If the saint son is ruthless, Tianzong may not bother to care about his mess.
He was wrong to have feelings for every woman he had taught him.
As soon as it was related to the Chai family, this kid couldn't sit still.
"Xiongtai is not from Zhangzhou?"
Feng Xiu asked somewhat unexpectedly. .
Xiangzhou is a state under Zhangzhou's jurisdiction. She directly pointed out non-Zhangzhou people. This shows that the so-called "Devil Slaying Conference" is no longer limited to Xiangzhou, but the whole Zhangzhou is well known?
Xu Qi'an came up with a corresponding guess, and then listened to Li Lingsu's answer with a smile:
"Our destination for this trip is Yongzhou, passing through Xiangzhou. I don't know much about things here."
Feng Xiu nodded suddenly, looked at Li Lingsu's handsome and innocent face quietly, and said:
"More than half a month ago, there was a major incident in the Chai family. The owner of the family, Chai Jianyuan, was killed in the mansion. The murderer was his adopted son, Chai Xian. After this man killed his foster father who was so kind to him, he went crazy and killed him. Dozens of people were killed all the way, and there was no news ever since."
"Chai Xian..."
Li Lingsu muttered the name, which seemed to be familiar to this person.
Xu Qi'an added a piece of firewood and smiled: "Listening to the girl, this Chai Xian is still in Zhangzhou and hasn't left?"
This person is very keen... Feng Xiu was a little surprised, and said softly:
"Your Excellency is right. After Chai Xian killed someone, instead of fleeing Zhangzhou, he claimed that he had been wronged, and that someone had framed him. He threatened to find out the matter and restore his innocence.
"But later, there were frequent homicides in various parts of Zhangzhou, especially in Xiangzhou. Some people saw him murder and refine corpses with their own eyes. At first they were killed by Jianghu people. Later, even ordinary people were attacked by him. Xiangzhou government began to intervene. thing.
"Aunt Chai took the opportunity to hold a "Devil Slaying Conference" and called on people from all over Zhangzhou to go to Xiangzhou and join the government to fight against Chai Xian."
Wang Jun, who is wearing a black costume, snorted coldly: "The evil spirits are outside and harm the people. Everyone will be killed."
The scholar Lu Wei was silent, and quietly moved closer to everyone.
Xu Qi'an took off the water sac, took a sip, and added some water to the little white fox's bowl. He stuck out his pink tongue and licked silently.
The little white fox is reserved and elegant, its fur is bright and dust-free, plus a small one, exquisite and cute, it can most pluck a woman's heart.
Feng Xiu stared straightly, and said with joy: "What a beautiful little fox, can I hold him?"
The little white fox raised his head and just wanted to say: No!
Mu Nanzhi picked it up first, blocked its mouth and said lightly: "No!"
Feng Xiu looked disappointed.
Seeing that the woman in black costume touched the nail, Wang Jun hummed: "It's just a fox. What's so rare, Junior Sister Feng, when the rain stops tomorrow, I will go to the mountains to grab one for you."
Feng Xiu shook her head: "Forget it, don't bother."
She just thought the little white fox was cute and wanted to hug it, but she really didn't have the energy and interest to raise one by her side.
While she was talking, she glanced at Li Lingsu subconsciously, which happened to collide with the other person's eyes, and this handsome and handsome man actually cast a wink at herself.
Feng Xiu immediately turned aside his gaze, and the little deer slammed into it, and his cheeks burned.
Alas, my charm...... Li Lingsu sighed, like a peerless powerhouse in the heights.
Then, he heard Xu Qian's voice transmission: "Is that Aunt Chai your concubine?"
How do you know... Li Lingsu was dumbfounded, almost blurted out and asked.
"I don't remember I said it." He replied via voice transmission.
"You heard about the Chai family's murder, but you were only surprised and not worried. This shows that you confirmed that your concubine was not accidental. So I guess it was the aunt Chai family who initiated the call." Xu Qi'an said.
"The predecessors are aware of the details!" Li Lingsu said through voice.
"What do you think of this case?" Xu Qi'an asked through voice transmission.
Li Lingsu fell into the memory and said leisurely:
"My sister Miaozhen and I had traveled to Zhangzhou before and met the Chai family by chance. At that time, the leader of the team was a woman with a melancholy look like a lilac, which was pitiful.
"Zhangzhou has a developed water system. We met on a cruise ship. In the early spring of that year, apricot blossoms lightly rained. She was wearing a water-green dress and holding an oil-paper umbrella, standing by the boat watching the rain.
"She lost her husband not long ago and her will was depressed. I asked her to drink to relieve her sorrows when she was drunk. At first she ignored her and treated me indifferently, but later became annoying and even added bad words."
Lost, lost husband? How is Ru and Cao Thief different? !
Xu Qi'an was shocked.
"Later she said that Zhangzhou has a Thousand End Valley, and there is a pair of exotic animals in the valley. The male and the female never separate. There is a kind of strange flower called "white head" growing near their nest. If you can get that kind of flower, you can fall in love with each other. People stay together for life and grow old together.
"If I can pick that kind of flower, she will drink with me."
Hearing this, Xu Qi'an nodded slowly: "You got that flower, so you captured the heart of the beauty?"
Shengzi shook his head:
"There is indeed a pair of strange animals in Thousand Jue Valley. They are extremely fierce and have the blood of gods and demons. Not to mention the fifth-rank, the fourth-rank masters go, and they can't handle it. There are no such flowers near the nests of the male and female beasts, she is lying to me of.
"But I went there anyway, and fought with two fierce beasts, took off one of their tail feathers, severely injured and escaped. I found her, gave her the tail feathers, and then left."
Is this gone? It's different from what I thought.........Xu Qi'an frowned and said, "What happened later?"
Li Lingsu said twice with "Hey" and said:
"She chased me out and asked me with tears in her eyes. She asked me why I had to do this. Knowing that there are no so-called strange flowers in the valley, she knows that she lied to me. Why should I take the risk?
"I said: beautiful girl, loving you is my unchanging faith throughout my life; walking into your heart is the longing I dream of; this heartfelt feeling will not be changed because of the diversion of the river or the collapse of the mountain. And buried.
"Even if it is a little joke of you, I am willing to try it with my life. Unfortunately, my girl, I can't walk into your heart. So, I want to leave here and go into the distance.
"She threw herself desperately into my arms..."
Good guy, does Tianzong still accept disciples? I want to study for a few years... Xu Qi'an interrupted in cold voice transmission:
"Enough, talk business."
Li Ling ended the topic unfinishedly, and Transmission said:
"I've seen Chai Xian several times. He is a man of pure temperament, not like a thief who will kill his father and kill his relatives. There may be hidden feelings in it..."
He hesitated and stopped.
Xu Qi'an, who was full of thoughts of killing his father, said, "Say if you have anything."
"I want to go to Chai's house to see her and understand the case." Li Lingsu tentatively said.
The feeling Xu Qian gave him was mild and cold, not like the kind of nosy person, so he was not sure what he thought.
Xu Qi'an nodded: "No more than three days."
He actually agreed...Li Lingsu was delighted.
...........
The night is getting darker and the rain is pattering.
The crowd sat cross or lay on their sides, resting in the cold night.
The bonfire dimmed, and the red charcoal radiated heat, trying hard to dissipate the chill.
In the silent night, the faint firelight distorted the shadow. In the southern corner, the old coffin board slowly opened in the silent darkness.
A blue-black hand protruded from the coffin, with dark nails, pressed against the edge of the coffin.
"Kang Dang!"
After a few seconds of silence, the coffin board slammed into the air and fell heavily to the ground with a loud noise.
A figure stood up straight from the coffin, his knees seemed not to bend.
The huge noise awakened everyone who had stayed in the deserted temple at night. Wang Jun, a man in black costume, and Feng Xiu, who was still short-handed, woke up first, and subconsciously grabbed the weapon beside him.
"Clang!"
The sword was unsheathed at the same time.
Mu Nanzhi traveled long distances for several days and was exhausted. After being woken up, he rubbed his eye circles and opened his eyes to look.
I saw Wang Jun and Feng Xiu holding weapons and carrying the people on their backs, facing the coffin to the south, and in the infiltrating coffin, there was a figure standing upright. He was hidden in the dark, only seeing a rough outline.
The two sides seem to be facing each other.
At this time, the figure in the coffin jumped out of the coffin gently, his jumping posture was very strange, his knees seemed not to bend, and he jumped straight.
The fire illuminates the person's appearance, with white pupils, blue-black flesh and ulcers, sparse hair, wearing tattered clothes, and a corpse stinking on his face.
Where is a person? It is clearly a corpse, a moving corpse.
Mu Nanzhi's pupils were slightly dilated, his expression frozen, and a few seconds later, he let out a high-decibel scream.
"Yeah..."
The little white fox also screamed an immature girl, and the person stood up, holding Xu Qi'an's calf with his two front paws, shaking.
The scream seemed to irritate it, and its mouth let out a oozing roar, and with a flick of its legs, it rushed towards everyone.
Scholar Lu Wei screamed and fled to the corner in fright.
"It's a blood corpse!"
Wang Jun, who was dressed in black, gave a low roar, slashing with a long knife, cutting the blood corpse in half.
"Blood corpse is a kind of evil thing that survives by swallowing the essence and blood of living people. Above the blood corpse is iron corpse. The defense power of iron corpse is equivalent to the sixth grade copper skin and iron bone. Back then, the ancestors of the Chai family relied on thirteen. The iron corpse will beat Xiangzhou invincible."
Li Lingsu explained.
The blood corpse put his hands together and clamped the blade. Wang Jun took a few vigorously but didn't pull it out.
The power of this blood corpse was far beyond his imagination.
Feng Xiujiao scolded, and walked two steps quickly, one hitting the blood corpse's chest, bang! A smear of dust blew up.
The body of the blood corpse shrank like a shrimp, but its feet were firmly rooted and did not move half way.
In the next second, it stood up and flew Feng Xiu, then it swung its arms horizontally and swept Wang Jun away.
The two fledgling young men and women fell in different directions, groaning in pain.
Wang Jun was swept in his arm by the blood corpse, and his forearm was cracked. He endured the pain, and while his luck was relieved, he picked up his saber and was about to continue fighting. Suddenly, his legs softened and his dantian was twisted like a knife.
"what......."
On the other side, Feng Xiu seemed to have encountered a similar situation, her face pale and weak in pain.
Poisoned.........Wang Jun's heart shuddered and he immediately understood his situation.
"Brother Wang, Miss Feng, you deserve to be a master from a famous school. I was hit by my loose tendons, and it's only now."
In the corner, scholar Lu Wei walked out of the shadows with a smile, and came to the campfire.
His face is beautiful, but not the gentleness he had before, and under the light of the fire, he is even a little hideous.
"It's you?!"
Feng Xiu was taken aback, completely unexpected that things would develop like this.
"You are a corpse raiser. It's no wonder that you didn't let me chop the coffin because you haven't had the chance to poison it?"
Wang Jun shook his knife and stood up swayingly, his face pale.
Lu Wei nodded and said: "Yes, my blood corpse is not yet successful. Although it is okay to kill you two, it can't catch up if you want to escape."
"Why are you doing this?"
Feng Xiuxiu is inferior to Wang Jun and can no longer stand up.
Lu Wei was about to answer when he suddenly heard the man in Tsing Yi who was sitting around the campfire unable to move, said:
"Of course it is to sacrifice blood corpses and improve cultivation."
Lu Wei looked at him a few times and confirmed that he was just an ordinary person and did not threaten him. He smiled and said, "That's right."
Xu Qi'an said again: "So you pretend to be a scholar, hovering around, cheating the pedestrians passing by? Seeing that there were a lot of bonfire ashes before, I think it will harm people."
Feng Xiu and Wang Jun's faces were hard to look at for a moment, they were passers-by who were deceived.
With a smile on his face, Lu Wei looked at the man in Tsing Yi again.
"This road frequently makes people's lives, and the government doesn't care?" Li Lingsu fiddled with the bonfire and asked.
"It's different from the past. That Chai Xian went around killing people and refining corpses, making trouble in the city. Our casual cultivators just followed him and had a sip of soup, anyway, we ended up throwing our sins on him."
Lu Wei's eyes were gloomy, as if he didn't want to talk nonsense any more, and said, "First, take your ordinary people to make sacrifices."
Manipulating the blood corpse, walking towards Li Lingsu.
Why was me the first person to die? Is it because I was too handsome?
Li Lingsu was a little angry.
"The essence and blood of ordinary people is not very useful, but it can accumulate less and more. I think a few people are healthy, and the blood is extremely strong among ordinary people."
As Lu Wei spoke, the blood corpse had already bounced in front of Li Lingsu, opened his smelly mouth, and bit at the holy son.
Li Lingsu shook his head, turned sideways to avoid, got up, took off the hosta with hair, and gently threw it out.
The hosta shot out with electricity, piercing half of the blood corpse's face, and a black ugly gu worm was pierced from the tip of the hairpin. It seemed to be given life, turning around and returning to Li Lingsu.
The blood corpse staggered forward two steps and fell to the ground without a sound.
"what?!"
Lu Wei's eyeballs almost went out of his sockets. He worked hard for several years, and the blood corpse, which was more powerful than the aura, was destroyed by the opponent so simple.
Shock, stunned, unbelievable emotions first surged, followed by fear and anxiety, cold sweat poured out.
Obviously, he has met a real master.
Maybe the next moment, he will become a corpse like a blood corpse.
Feng Xiu and Wang Jun had come to an end, surprised, happy, and at a loss. However, compared to Wang Jun, who was simply escaping from the dead and full of joy, the beautiful girl Feng looked at Li Lingsu madly.
It turns out that he is so powerful...
Xu Qi'an beckoned, took the hosta, stared at the worm at the tip of the hairpin, and shook his head:
"Mutated Corpse Gu is not authentic enough."
When he was speaking, Lu Wei's expression went through a series of changes, and finally he became heartbroken. He rushed out of the ruined temple at an extremely fast speed, trying to escape.
"call out!"
The hosta whizzed out, pierced scholar Lu Wei's chest, brought out a burst of red blood, and fell to the ground.
Feng Xiu and Wang Jun, who witnessed Lu Wei being killed like grass, took a deep breath and suppressed the complex emotions in their hearts, their voices were respectful:
"Thank you two seniors for their life-saving grace."
Xu Qi'an threw a piece of firewood into the fire and sighed, "Is Xiangzhou already in such a mess?"
Feng Xiu pursed her lips, "When the disciple was in the sect, I only heard that Chai Xian was involved in chaos in Xiangzhou and other counties and counties, and the trouble was unsettling. Now it seems that some of the murders were caused by Lu Wei's mischief The disciple fished in troubled waters.
"Brother Wang and I believed in the wrong person. If the two seniors were not in the temple today, I am afraid we would not survive."
She once again thanked her for saving her life, but her wonderful eyes focused on Li Lingsu most of the time, thinking that this handsome man was the core of the small team.
Li Lingsu nodded slightly: "Dispose of the blood corpse, continue to rest, and wait for the road tomorrow."
Watching Wang Jun dragging the blood corpse away, Mu Nanzhi turned his head fearfully and glared at Xu Qi'an:
"Have you known that there are ghosts in the coffin?"
Xu Qi'an shook his head:
"I don't know, but the coffins in the ruined temple are absolutely weird. There are often people here to rest. The tables are chopped and burnt, but the coffin is intact. Such a big flaw came out at a glance."
As for later, the scholar secretly threw the smoke into the bonfire, and he couldn't hide from the poison expert.
Mu Nanzhi snorted, lay down with his arms around Bai Ji, facing Xu Qi'an on his side, the curves of his waist and hips were very moving.
"Uncomfortable, uncomfortable, don't hug me to sleep..."
The little white fox struggled.
Xu Qi'an lay down on his side and embraced Munanzhi's slender waist.
She stiffened for a while, but did not resist or speak.
...........
The next day, early morning.
When Mu Nanzhi woke up, he found himself curled up in Xu Qi'an's arms. He was frightened last night. When he slept again, he subconsciously pressed against him, seeking a sense of security.
She is like a girl who has not left the pavilion, her face is slightly flushed, and she insists on pretending to be nothing.
Not long after, everyone woke up one after another. Xu Qi'an boiled a pot of hot water, first gave everyone a bowl of hot water to cool the steamed buns~EbookFREE.me~ and then brushed their teeth and cleansed with the remaining hot water.
Everyone went on the road together. On the way, Xu Qi'an asked:
"What special food does Xiangzhou have?"
Li Lingsu thought for a while and said: "The bacon is good. When I enter the city, I will take seniors to taste it."
Xu Qi'an looked at Mu Nanzhi and saw that she was moved, so he smiled and said, "Okay."
Feng Xiu and Wang Jun followed behind them in a somewhat restrained manner. They did not dare to take the initiative to speak, but they looked at each other in surprise when they heard Li Lingsu respectfully addressing the man in Tsing Yi.
He called that person senior, and his attitude was quite respectful... Feng Xiuyuanyuan's eyes were slightly widened, could she guess wrong, this man in Tsing Yi is the central figure?
Before noon, a group of people came to the city of Xiangzhou. The city wall was three feet high, the pedestrians were sparse, and the clothes were ordinary. It was rare to see people in fresh clothes.
Xiangzhou is not rich, and even worse than Leizhou, which is located on the border.
After entering the city, Feng Xiu and Wang Jun left.
Li Lingsu led the way, Xu Qi'an led the little mare, followed by "Da Da Da", half an hour later, they stopped outside a large manor.
The plaque of "Chai Mansion" is hung on the lacquered red gate.
The young and powerful concierge greeted him, and said, "Which school are you?"
Li Lingsu replied: "No school, no school."
"Can you have an invitation?"
"No." Li Lingsu shook his head.
The concierge frowned and was about to speak when he heard the handsome young man say:
"I have an old friendship with Chai Xing'er. If you go in and report it, you will say Li Lingsu wants to see you."

PS: I was sleepy and weak all day today, and it was ghosting when I looked at the computer screen.
