Nightwatcher Chapter 38: The murder case

Rain water flows down the corners of the eaves, forming an intermittent curtain of water, which is blown by the cold wind and blows in diagonally like flying flowers and broken jade.

Xiangzhou is located in the southwest. It is cold and dry in winter. 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 the devil? Has something happened to the Chai family?"

Xu Qi'an fiddled with the bonfire, and suddenly understood why Tianzong wanted to capture the saint son and saint 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".

Similarly, Li Lingsu’s real fault is not that he sleeps with women everywhere. If the Son is ruthless, Tianzong may not bother to care about his mess.

He was wrong by having feelings for every woman he had taught him.

When I heard that 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 entire Zhangzhou is well known?

Xu Qi'an came up with the corresponding speculation, and then listened to Li Lingsu's answer with a smile:

"The destination of our trip is Yongzhou, passing through Xiangzhou. I don't know much about this place."

Feng Xiu nodded suddenly, looked at Li Lingsu's handsome and innocent face calmly, and said:

"More than half a month ago in the Chai family, a major incident occurred. The head 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 again. He killed dozens of people in the mansion and killed them all the way. Since then, there is no news."

"Chai Xian........"

Li Lingsu muttered the name, which seemed to be familiar to him.

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 sensitive.........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 this 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 killed by him. The Xiangzhou government Began to intervene in this matter.

"Aunt Chai took the opportunity to convene the "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 in the black costume coldly snorted: "The evil spirits are outside, and they harm the people. Everyone will kill them."

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. It stuck out its pink tongue and licked silently.

The little white fox is reserved and elegant, its fur is bright, slender and dust-free, plus a small one, exquisite and cute, it can touch a woman's heart most.

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!

Munanzhi picked it up first, blocked its mouth and said lightly: "No!"

Feng Xiu looked disappointed.

Wang Jun, in black costume, saw that the woman he likes touched the nail and hummed: "It's just a fox, what's so rare, Sister Feng, when the rain stops tomorrow, I will go to the mountains to catch one for you."

Feng Xiu shook his head: "Forget it, no trouble."

She just thinks the little white fox is cute and wants to hug it, but she really wants her to keep one by her side, but she doesn't have the energy and interest.

While she was talking, she subconsciously glanced at Li Lingsu again, which happened to collide with the other person's eyes, and the handsome and handsome man cast a wink at herself.

Feng Xiu immediately turned aside her gaze, and the little deer slammed into her heart, and her face burned with fire.

Hey, 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 and almost asked.

"I don't remember I said it." He replied through voice transmission.

"You heard about the murder of the Chai family, 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 of the Chai family who initiated the call." Xu Qi'an said.

"Predecessors are aware of everything!" Li Lingsu said through voice transmission.

"What do you think of this case?" Xu Qi'an asked through transmission.

Li Lingsu fell into the memory and said leisurely:

"My sister Miaozhen and I had traveled to Zhangzhou before, and occasionally met the Chai family. At that time, the leader of the team was a woman with a melancholy look like a lilac, which was pity.

"Zhangzhou's water system is developed. 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 oiled paper umbrella, standing by the boat watching the rain.

"She lost her husband not long ago and her will was depressed. I invited her to drink to relieve her sorrows. She ignored me at first and was cold towards me. Later, she became annoyed and even added bad words."

Bereavement, bereavement? How is Ru and Cao Thief different? !

Xu Qi'an was shocked.

"Later she said that Zhangzhou has a Thousand Jue 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, I can live with the one I love for life and grow old together.

"If I can pick those flowers, 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 beasts in Thousand Jue Valley. They are extremely fierce and have the blood of gods and demons. Not to mention the fifth-rank or fourth-rank masters. They can't handle it. There is no such flower near the nest of the male and female beasts. You lied to me.

"But I still went, 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 "Hey" twice, the sound transmission said:

"She chased me out and asked me with tears in her eyes, and asked why I did this. Knowing that there is no such thing as a strange flower in the valley, she knows that she lied to me. Why did she take the risk?" /

"I said: beautiful girl, loving you is my unchanging faith throughout my life; walking into your heart is my dream longing; this heartfelt feeling will not be changed because of the diversion of the river. Buried because the mountain collapsed.

"Even if it's 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 to the distance.

"She threw herself into my arms desperately..."

Good guy, do you still accept disciples in Tianzong? I want to study for a few years... Xu Qi'an interrupted by cold voice transmission:

"Enough, talk business."

Li Ling finished the topic unfinishedly, the voice transmission said:

"I've seen Chai Xian a few times. He is a man of innocent temperament, not like a thief who will kill his father and kill his relatives. There may be hidden secrets in it..."

He hesitated to speak but stopped.

Xu Qi'an, who is full of father-killing thoughts, said: "If you have something to say."

"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, unlike 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 overjoyed.

...........

The night is getting darker and the rain is pattering.

People sat cross or lie on their sides, resting in the cold night.

The bonfire dimmed, and the flaming charcoal radiated heat, trying to dissipate the chill.

In the silent night, the faint firelight warped the shadows. In the southern corner, the old coffin board slowly opened in the silent darkness.

A blue-black hand, sticking out of 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 the people who had stayed in the deserted temple for the night. Wang Jun, a black man with strong clothes, 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.

Munanzhi was exhausted after traveling long distances for several days. After being awakened, he rubbed his eyes and opened his eyes to look.

I saw Wang Jun and Feng Xiu holding weapons, carrying the crowd, and facing the coffin to the south. In the infiltrating coffin, there was a figure standing upright. He was hidden in the dark, only seeing a rough outline. contour.

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, but he jumped straight.

The fire light illuminates the person's appearance, white pupils, blue-black flesh and ulcers, sparse hair, wearing tattered clothes, a smell of corpse rushes on his face.

Where is a person, it is clearly a corpse, a moving corpse.

Munanzhi's pupils were slightly dilated, his expression frozen, and a few seconds later, he screamed at high decibels.

"Yeah..."

The little white fox also screamed an immature girl, and the person stood up, holding Xu Qi'an's calf with two front paws, shivering.

The scream seemed to irritate it, and it made a oozing roar from its mouth, flicked its legs, and rushed towards everyone.

Scholar Lu Wei screamed and fled to the corner in fright.

"It's a blood corpse!"

Wang Jun in the black attire gave a low growl and slashed with a long knife to cut the blood corpse in half.

"The blood corpse is a kind of evil that survives by swallowing the essence and blood of living people. Above the blood corpse is the iron corpse. The defense force of the iron corpse is equivalent to the sixth grade copper skin and iron bone. Back then, the ancestors of the Chai family relied on Thirteen iron corpses will beat Xiangzhou invincible."

Li Lingsu explained.

The blood corpse put his hands together and clamped the blade. Wang Jun drew a few vigorously but didn't pull it out.

The power of this blood corpse is far beyond his imagination.

Feng Xiujiao scolded, and walked two steps quickly, one of them hit the blood corpse's chest, bang! A smear of dust blew up.

The body of the blood corpse shrank like a shrimp, but the feet were firmly rooted and did not move.

The next second, it stood up and flew Feng Xiu, then it swung its arms horizontally and swept away Wang Jun.

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, while his luck was relieved, while picking up his saber, he was about to continue fighting. Suddenly, his legs softened and his dantian was like a knife twisted.

"Ah..."

On the other hand, Feng Xiu seemed to have encountered a similar situation, her face pale and weak in pain.

Poisoned.........Wang Jun's heart was shocked, 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 soft 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 he is no longer gentle, and even a bit hideous under the light of the fire.

"It's you?!"

Feng Xiu was taken aback and didn't expect this to happen.

"You are a corpse raiser. No wonder you didn't let me chop the coffin because you haven't had the chance to poison it yet?"

Wang Jun stood up swayingly with a knife, his face pale.

Lv 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 not as good as Wang Jun, and can't stand up anymore.

Lv Wei was about to answer, when suddenly he heard the man in Tsing Yi sitting awkwardly by the campfire and unable to move:

"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 pretended to be a scholar, wandering around, cheating pedestrians? Seeing that there were a lot of bonfire ashes before, I think it will not harm people."

Feng Xiu and Wang Jun's faces were hard to look for an instant, they were passers-by who were deceived.

Lu Wei smiled and looked at the man in Tsing Yi again.

"This road frequently makes lives, and the government doesn't care about it?" Li Lingsu fiddled with the bonfire and asked.

"This is different from the past. That Chai Xian is killing people and refining corpses everywhere, making trouble in the city. Our casual cultivators just follow him and have a sip of soup, anyway, finally throw the sin on his head."

Lü Wei's eyes were gloomy, as if he didn't want to talk nonsense, and said: "First, take your ordinary people to give a tooth sacrifice."

Manipulating the blood corpse, walking towards Li Lingsu.

Why was I the first person to die? Is it because I was so 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."

While 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 the hair, and gently threw it out.

The hosta shot out, shooting through 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 returned to Li Lingsu.

The blood corpse staggered forward two steps and fell to the ground without a sound.

"What?!"

Lv Wei's eyes 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 surged first, followed by fear and anxiety, cold sweat poured out.

It is obvious that he has met a real master.

Maybe the next moment, he will become a corpse like a blood corpse.

Feng Xiu and Wang Jun have 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 a photo of the hosta, stared at the worm at the tip of the hairpin, and shook his head:

"Mutated Corpse Gu is not authentic enough."

While 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 a very fast speed, trying to escape.

"Shoo!"

The hosta whizzed out, pierced scholar Lu Wei's chest, brought out a burst of red blood, and then 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, with a respectful tone:

"Thank you two seniors for their help."

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 it was disturbing. Now it seems that some of the murders were caused by Lu Wei. Such unscrupulous people fish 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 she 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."

Mu Nanzhi looked at Wang Jun dragging the blood corpse away, 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. People often rest here. The tables are chopped into wood and burned, 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 couldn't hide him from the poison expert.

Mun Nanzhi snorted, and lay down with his arms around Bai Ji, facing Xu Qi'an to 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 a bit, but did not resist or speak.

...........

The next day, early morning.

Mun Nanzhi woke up and found himself curled up in Xu Qi'an's arms. She was frightened last night, and when she slept again, she subconsciously pressed against him, seeking a sense of security.

She looks like a girl who hasn't been out of the pavilion, her cheeks are slightly flushed, and she insists on pretending to be nothing.

In a short while, 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 bun~IndoMTL.com~ 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 Munanzhi and saw that she was moved, so he smiled: "Okay."

Feng Xiu and Wang Jun followed behind them in a somewhat restrained manner. They didn't dare to take the initiative to speak. They just looked at each other in surprise when they heard Li Lingsu respectfully addressing the man in Tsing Yi.

He called that person a senior, and his attitude was quite respectful... Feng Xiuyuanyuan's eyes widened slightly, did she guess wrong, this man in Tsing Yi is the central figure?

Before noon, a group of people came to Xiangzhou City. 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 in 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 "dada da da", half an hour later, they stopped outside a large manor.

A plaque of "Chai Mansion" is hung on the lacquered red gate.

The young and strong porter greeted him and said, "Which school do you have?"

Li Lingsu replied: "No school, no school."

"Can you have an invitation?"

"No." Li Lingsu shook his head.

The porter 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 ghost images when I looked at the computer screen.
