Chapter 12 Chasing the murderer
Qianyang Mountain, Li Family Camp.
Li Kefa looked gloomy and looked at the camp. The Buffalo County government officials were busy inspecting the bones on the ground.
He is the father of Li Xiaoding and the magistrate of Buffalo County. The Li family is powerful, and he has the final say in matters in Buffalo County. The county magistrate is just a decoration.
He had three daughters and only one son, and now his son is dead!
He got the news from the Ding family and rushed here, only to find that his son had been eaten by evil spirits and only the bones were left!
Including the seven Jinyi guards who followed Li Xiaoding, they were all killed in Xie's mouth!
"Sir, I have asked the Ding family members. There should be no problem with the Ding family."
A young man in his thirties walked quickly, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, tall body and broad shoulders. He was dressed in red and wearing an official hat. He was carrying a strange weapon on his back, which looked like a spear but not a spear. There was a spearhead at one end. The other end has three pipes welded together, like a hammer.
This thing is called the Three-Eyed Fire Cannon, which is very powerful, even more powerful than ordinary magic. The black iron pipe is stuffed with gunpowder, saltpeter, and thunderbolts. When ignited, the power of thunder will burst out. The thunderbolts will shoot out like sharp arrows at hundreds of steps. Hurting someone a hundred steps away!
The thunderbolt is a kind of lead bullet, round, weighing ten thunderbolts or two, hollow, filled with gunpowder, it will explode when it hits the target, and it is extremely powerful.
This person is Zhuge Jian, the official historian of Buffalo County. He is a very capable person. Unfortunately, he has a poor family background, so he can only serve as the official historian of the county government.
Zhuge Jian bowed and said: "Yesterday afternoon, the fourth lady of the Ding family sent a maid named Zi E here, intending to connect the two families and get closer. Unexpectedly, it was getting late, and Zi E still did not go back because she was worried about Zi E. Something happened to Calyx, so they sent people over again, and only then did they discover that something had happened in the camp. However, it was already dark by then, so they had to retreat to the Ding family camp, and the young master’s body was destroyed by evil spirits and wild beasts.”
Li Kefa said coldly: "You mean, my son did not die in the hands of evil?"
"Young master was killed by others."
Zhuge Jiandao, "My subordinates have carefully inspected it. Judging from the scene, the person who took action did not use magic or runes, but relied on a knife and fists to kill nine people in just one breath. In one breath. He took a total of thirteen shots during this period, and the person who was injured the most only received two hits from him."
He observed extremely carefully. Although only the skeletons of Li Xiaoding and others were left, he could still judge the number of times Chen Shi took action from the clues on the bones and the footprints on the ground.
Li Kefa's face was as dark as water and he asked: "What else?"
"He took action thirteen times, killing nine people, but no one present had time to cast a spell. They were killed by him without even preparing a spell."
Zhuge Jian continued, "This man is not tall, only between five and six feet, but his body is extremely strong and powerful. Within one foot, his fists and kicks can kill people in an instant! His fists, It can crush bones directly!"
Li Kefa frowned, not many monks practiced physical training.
"Hercules can create such a powerful body."
Zhuge Jiandao, "Sacrifice the Hercules Talisman, instantly gain the divine power of the Yellow Turban Hercules, kill people violently, and the thunder and lightning only takes a moment! But this person is not using the Hercules Talisman."
He changed the subject and said: "I checked the ashes left behind after the talismans were burned out. Everyone in the camp only left two ashes of the talismans. These two talismans are both golden bell talismans for body protection. And the user,
They should all be young masters. Therefore, the murderer must be a short body-refining monk! Or, a master who has mastered the golden elixir, wants to hide the magic he is good at, and deliberately kills people with fists, feet and knives."
Li Kefa frowned and said: "After this man killed my son, he immediately fled. How can we find this murderer in such a huge crowd?"
Zhuge Jian said seriously: "This man left the horse's feet because he also brought a dog."
Li Kefa was stunned. He didn't see the dog paw prints on the ground.
None of the dozens of government officials in Buffalo County found dog paw prints.
"There are dog-gnawed bones on the ground."
Zhuge Jian held a bone in his hand and said, "This kind of bite marks are the marks left by canine teeth. And there is some cinnabar dust on the table. Then the identity of the person coming can be revealed. This person must be wearing a black
The dog's talisman master, the young master invited him here to draw the talisman! To draw the talisman, black dog blood is used. Black dog blood has the strongest yang energy and is a good material for grinding cinnabar. Therefore, this dog must be a black dog! This person's figure
He is short, a talisman master, and brings a black dog with him. It will not be troublesome to find out his identity."
When Li Kefa heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. There were too few people who fit this status.
"There is another way, which is to summon my son's soul and find out the real culprit."
Li Kefa said, "Go and prepare some soul-calling talismans to prepare for summoning souls. I also want to see my son..." As he said this, his eye circles could not help but turn red.
Zhuge Jian hesitated for a moment and said: "Sir, my subordinate has just made his own decision and summoned the soul once. He failed to summon the soul of the young master..."
Li Kefa was stunned and looked at him in confusion.
Zhuge Jian said cautiously: "Not only can't I summon the soul of the young master, but I can't summon the ghosts of other people either. The souls of those who died in the hands of this Talisman Master have all disappeared."
Li Kefa stood there blankly, with a rather sad expression: "My son's soul has disappeared? Could this man eat my son's soul when he killed someone?"
Zhuge Jian thought for a while and said: "My subordinates have a guess, that is, there must be evil spirits in this person. Only evil spirits or evil spirits can eat ghosts. This Talisman Master may have raised evil spirits, or he may have been possessed by evil spirits.
Possessed.”
This kind of thing has happened before. Evil spirits are possessed and eat people in towns. They can eat all the people in a town in just a few days!
Li Kefa exhaled a breath and said: "Zhuge Dianshi, I leave it to you to capture this short talisman master with the black dog. Don't kill him, I must personally interrogate him, cut open his chest and take out his body."
With my heart, I pay homage to my son’s spirit in heaven!”
Zhuge Jian bowed and said yes, and passed on the order, asking the government officials to go to various intersections, inns, and villages to search for the talisman master with the black dog.
The grandfather and grandson returned to Huangpo Village. As usual, the grandfather went to boil the medicine and Chen Shi took the medicine and took a medicinal bath. Late at night, while sleeping, Chen Shi suddenly felt his heart twitching and was suddenly awakened by the heartbreaking pain!
His heart-ache problem broke out again!
Ever since he practiced the Three Lights Righteousness Technique, he has never had this problem again these days. He didn't expect it to happen so violently this time!
The five fingers of the cyan ghost hand on his chest pinched his heart, causing his chest muscles to tighten, and his heart felt like it was about to burst!
Chen Shi's body was shaking, twitching, stiff, and his veins were bursting out. He was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe at all, and his face quickly turned red!
The red gradually turns to purple.
He couldn't open his mouth, couldn't make any sound, couldn't call grandpa for help!
After a long time, Chen Shi was sweating profusely, and the bedding was almost soaked with sweat, before he took his first breath.
With this breath of support, he seemed to have grasped a glimmer of hope. He quickly mobilized the Three Lights Righteousness Technique and used all his strength to fight against the cyan ghost hand holding his heart!
It wasn't until the middle of the night that he suppressed the cyan ghost hand.
The five fingers of the cyan ghost hand were inserted into his chest. At this moment, they slowly stretched and the pain became less and less.
Chen Shi was still frightened. The cyan ghost's hand held his heart this time harder and longer than ever before. If he hadn't taken his first breath, he would have died on the bed from the pain!
"Could it be that when I killed Li Xiaoding during the day, I consumed too much and my body couldn't hold the ghost handprints, so this problem broke out?"
Chen Shi thought about it carefully and found that when he killed Li Xiaoding and others, he did feel a strong sense of hunger. He must have consumed too much.
"Grandpa's medicine can suppress the cyan ghost hand, but the effect seems to be getting lower and lower. Only the Three Lights Righteousness Technique is still useful. I must go to the True King's Tomb as soon as possible to get the full version of the Three Lights Righteousness Technique!"
The Three Lights Righteousness Technique is the only technique he has obtained so far. It is the only technique that can suppress the cyan ghost hand, and it is Chen Shi's only life-saving straw.
"Just getting the Three Lights Righteousness Art will definitely alarm the realm of ghosts and gods." Chen Shi frowned.
The last time he was able to go this far, he relied on the spiritual support from the spiritual breasts given to him by Miss Zhao Er. Now that he has no spiritual breasts, he can only rely on his own strength. With his current strength, I am afraid he still cannot defeat the True King.
Before the ghost realm of the tomb opens, come to the stone tablet.
"I must first go to the ruined temple in the barren mountain to practice for a period of time to make my body stronger before I can break into the true king's tomb again!" He made up his mind and then fell asleep.
Chen Shi's life has become the same as before. He gets up early to eat, duels with the village's dogs, steals watermelons, sacrifices to his godmother, listens to scholars and ghosts answering questions, then goes to a ruined temple in a barren mountain to practice the Sanguang Zhengqi Jue, and goes home to take medicine at night
Take a bath.
On this day, Chen Shi had just paid homage to his godmother outside the village and was listening to Zhu Xiucai's sermon. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came, and a group of more than ten government servants galloped past the post road, and the dust was flying like flowers.
The mist is coming towards the loess slope.
"Another six doors!"
Chen Shi looked around curiously and asked doubtfully, "Weren't all the six gates in Xinxiang County killed by the godmother of Fangdian Village? The corpses were all taken away by the ghost bride."
Strangely enough, there has been no news about the Ghost Bride since that night. No one has paid any attention to the sudden appearance of the deserted temple in Xinshan. There is even no news about the death of more than 30 people in the six doors. Very soon
It's weird.
Chen Shi had always been worried about the killing of Li Xiaoding, fearing that someone would find out about him, but this matter seemed to have disappeared without any news.
Zhu Xiucai sneered and said: "What's so strange about this? The so-called six doors are just toilet paper for wiping butts in the latrine, nothing more than consumables. There will be millions more of these poor scholars in Xiniu Xinzhou every year, and dozens of them will die.
It doesn’t matter, as long as the county master is listed on the list, countless talented people will sharpen their heads to get in."
Chen Shi knew that he was right. After a monk was admitted as a scholar, if he failed to pass the examination, he would have to make a living everywhere. After all, county government officials were public officials in the Ming Dynasty. As long as there were vacancies, scholars would flock to them.
"Uu——"
The dozen or so yamen servants suddenly stopped their horses, and the leader dismounted, walked quickly to the yellow slope, and said with a smile: "Little brother, I am Zhuge Jian, the canon historian of Buffalo County. What is your name?"
"honest."
"Honest brother, I would like to ask if there is a talisman master named Chen Yindu in Huangpo Village?"
Chen Shi blinked and said, "There is a man named Chen Yindu. What do you want to do with him?"
Zhuge Jian smiled broadly: "How tall is this Chen Yindu?"
Chen Shi said: "Almost as tall as you."
Zhuge Jian frowned slightly, and several government servants behind him said one after another: "Boss, it seems that the case was not done by Chen Yindu. What should we do now?" "We have been to the nearby villages these days, and the counties and towns have also sent people, that
Can the murderous talisman master still fly?"
Zhuge Jian also had a headache. He had searched everywhere these days and found no suspicious people in various counties and towns. He originally thought there would be people in the countryside, but after searching all the villages, he could not find anyone with a short stature and a black face.
Dog Talisman.
"Am I going in the wrong direction?"
He was about to go home when he suddenly saw a big black dog trotting up the loess slope, wagging its tail towards the little boy under the tree.
The black dog has a kind face and kind eyes, and he seems to be laughing.
The little boy under the tree raised his head and smiled: "Master Dianshi, my grandpa asked me to go home for dinner."
Zhuge Jian nodded, watching the little boy and the black dog leaving, his mind suddenly felt like thunder.
Chapter completed!
