Chapter 17: corruption

"Strange, Green Sea Guards will not leave Green Sea, how could they die here ..." Bao Lan murmured.
"Maybe there is an order to let her come out to do something." Su Tang said.
"It might be ... but who killed her?"
"She has been dead for more than a day, we have no chance to find the murderer." Su Tang said softly.
"Why?" Bao Lan was a little puzzled. There seemed to be no connection between the time of death and whether he could find the murderer.
"After the murderer killed her, hiding her and the green locust in the bushes proved that the murderer did not want others to see her body." Su Tang explained: "But there are many better ways to hide the body, for example, he You can dig a pit in the forest and bury the body. Although the green locust is too big, he can kill the green sea guards and the green locust. This kind of little thing is hard for him. "Su Tang Very good at this kind of work, I did it on the first day after the fusion.
"Why didn't the murderer bury it?" Bao Lan continued to ask.
"Because he is in a hurry." Su Tang smiled.
"If he is in a hurry, he can set fire to burn the body!"
"Because there are people nearby who make him scrupulous." Su Tang seemed very patient: "Fire will produce thick smoke, and it may not burn the body clean, but it will expose his position. If I am not wrong ... In this area Not only was she killed by the Green Sea Guard, there were others. "
"Fate Lord, then we ..."
"It has nothing to do with me." Su Tang shook his head and replied faintly.
Bao Lan did not speak anymore. This matter is obviously related to the natural sect. If she is the one who decides, she will definitely check it out, but Su Tang has clearly expressed her objection and she has to obey the order.
Su Tang's eyes fell on the corpse, observed for a moment, and slowly leaned down: "Interesting ... Since it is in a hurry, and did not invade the corpse, not for sex, why do you want to pick up the outside clothes? Very heavy or ... … "
Bao Lan didn't speak. She found that Su Tang's observation ability was far better than her, and she didn't want to disturb Su Tang's thoughts.
Su Tang stretched out his hands, grabbed the ends of the obscene clothing, and gently pulled it away. He first observed the front of the body, and after looking at it for a long time, he found nothing worthy of his attention and turned the body over again. Come here, behind the neck of the corpse, there is a tattoo with two mountains, two streams and branches.
"Sapphire, what is this?" Su Tang asked: "Do all Green Sea Guards have tattoos?"
"This is her mark." Sapphire said: "She is a samurai in the eleventh squad of the second squadron under the second guard team."
"Understood ..." Su Tang pondered for a moment, stood up, walked to the body of the green locust, then grabbed the tentacles on the green locust's head, dragged the green locust for a few steps, and laughed: "Okay Guy, it's heavy enough, I'm afraid it weighs a few thousand pounds ... Baolan, your strength is really not small. "In the beginning, Baolan dragged the green locust out.
Bao Lan smiled.
"However, the murderer's strength is much greater than that of you and us." Su Tang said.
"Why?" Bao Lan froze for a moment, and immediately understood that such a heavy green locust must be traced in the grass, and there was nothing around it. The murderer brought the green locust over: "Yes, There must be footprints ... "
"Yes, you found it too?" Su Tang opened the grass and observed a vague footprint on the hard soil. For a moment, he stretched his foot over, and the footprint was two centimeters longer than his foot. The width is also more than a centimeter.
"The murderer is at least half taller than me." Su Tang said.
"Lord Lord, some are short, but their feet are very big," Bao Lan reminded.
"I know, I have seen a person who is only half my height, but my feet are a few times larger than my feet. However, these are special cases and are not common." Su Tang said: "Bao Lan, I found that you have a tendency towards perfectionism. "
"What is perfectionism?"
"That is to say, you always want to be perfect and impeccable." Su Tang laughed: "This is not a good habit, your energy will be unconsciously involved in some extreme ideas, and it is not easy to please."
"I think ... a practitioner should strictly demand himself. Is it wrong to be perfect and impeccable?" Bao Lan was somewhat dissatisfied.
"You ... I'll understand it if I lose money in the future." Su Tang shook his head. He reminded me that this kind of thing would be useless. We need Bao Lan to realize it by himself: "Let's go, um ... talk to me. Green Sea Guardian thing. "
"Fate, what do you want to know?" Bao Lan said.
"How was the Green Sea Guard called for?" Su Tang asked while walking.
"Natural Sect recruits a group of outside disciples every year." Bao Lan followed Su Tang's side: "Outside disciples will conduct a major assessment every three years, and those with strong strength and fast entry will be promoted to internal disciples. Then a group will be eliminated, and those who are eliminated will become the Green Sea Guards if they want to stay in the Sect of Nature. There are also some Green Sea Guards who are hereditary. As long as each other is voluntary, the natural sect will never interfere. When they are old, their children usually take the top spot. "
"What is the ratio of promotion and elimination?"
"There are almost one-twentieth of those who are promoted to inner disciples, and one-third are eliminated." Bao Landao, she has been an outer disciple and is very familiar with these.
"You became an ascetic ... because you were eliminated at that time?" Su Tang asked.
"I ..." Bao Lan felt aggrieved: "Fate Lord, do I behave so badly in your eyes?"
"I just asked casually." Su Tang said.
"At that time, my assessment was excellent, and I should have been a disciple of the inner door, but I was pushed down. I left the Green Sea and drifted everywhere. Later, because of a coincidence, I met the master. Under his teaching, I became an ascetic. By."
Replaced by someone? Su Tang was a little surprised that even the Sect of Nature was involved in corruption ... The poison of power was really ubiquitous, but he was relieved in his heart. At the time, Baolan ’s arrow skills caused fatal damage to him. Can pose a serious threat to him. If even an excellent archer like Bao Lan is a knockout, then the foundation of the natural sect is too strong. Where can he have confidence to walk the world? !
"Baolan, if I kill a green sea guard and grab his green locust and domesticate it for a while, can it be turned into my mount?"
"Impossible." Bao Lan said: "The green locust will have only one owner in his life."
"It turns out so ..." Su Tang's eyes flashed.
