Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 145: The storm is coming
Chapter 145 The storm is coming
The old nun carefully led Zhao Changhe to the tomb, pointed out the specific location of the tomb, and ran away with the hem of the monk's robe.
In fact, until now, Lao Ni still doesn’t know why he brought this inexplicable person for an autopsy. Is it because Master Tang is so proud?
Master Tang himself didn't even think about it, and he never introduced him to this man who could move the knife by himself.
I always feel that ever since this person arrived here, everything has naturally and logically been dominated by him, as if it was a matter of course.
Not to mention the old nun’s confusion, Zhao Changhe was already squatting on the tomb, reaching out and gently digging into the soil above, releasing a trace of his own evil aura to carefully sense it.
No response.
Zhao Changhe gritted his teeth, pulled out the dragon bird and started shoveling the soil.
Longque: "..."
Sisi's little face was twitching, and she didn't know whether she was afraid of the rotting corpse inside, or because she felt sorry for the sword.
At this time, Zhao Changhe began to look a little scary in her eyes. Sisi already regretted why she got involved with this person in the first place. She shouldn't have provoked such a pervert...
Thinking about how she had kissed his mouth, Sisi wanted to pick her own mouth out.
As everyone knows, Zhao Changhe himself is brave. This kind of thing is really different from killing people. No matter how many corpses he sees, it will be different... However, this strange blood evil incident in Gusu is likely to be extremely harmful to his blood evil practice. The key is to pinch your nose to find out.
--He doubted that if it was really the result of the invasion of the blood evil force, the corpse should not stink... It needs to be verified.
"Wipe it!" Longque wiped it on the edge of the straw mat.
Zhao Changhe put away the knife, carefully peeled away the soil, and frowned at the smelly corpse.
This corpse is so rotten that it is impossible to distinguish the human face, and it is impossible to see the specific appearance of the original wound. It is disgusting, but it seems to be okay if you really accept this setting... The problem now is that Zhao Changhe has not learned Forensic doctors, any traces on this corpse have no reference for him. He is just here to sense the evil spirit.
However, the item of evil spirit alone does not exist at all.
This shouldn't be the case.
In the field of Xuan Guan practice, Zhao Changhe dares to say that no one understands the power of blood evil better than him, not even Master Xue. Because no one in the entire Blood God Sect practices the Blood Evil Kung Fu as a fundamental skill. When encountering an attack by a Blood Evil Spirit, they would directly use the Blood-fixing Pill to eliminate it. Later, they switched to the Blood God Kung Fu, and they were less and less exposed to the evil spirit. .
Their endurance, resistance, and understanding of the power of blood evil are indeed not on the same level as Zhao Changhe.
Why did Zhao Changhe think that the corpse might not stink? Because judging from his experience of evil spirits, such a violent and violent and even rebellious existence should not completely disappear with the death of a person. There must be residual evil spirits overflowing around the body, making the soil dry and barren. All living things in the nearby soil should die, and creatures such as maggots will probably not survive.
Even after more than ten days, the evil spirit gradually dissipated and normal decay resumed. However, this corpse seemed to have been rotting for half a month. From the appearance of this corpse, especially the surroundings, there was no evidence of any evil spirit at all. Not a single trace of any existence.
Is it because all the evil energy has entered Lu Shaoxiong's body? Is that evil spirit or evil spirit?
Or because... this is not the transmission of evil spirits at all. The first deceased person never had evil spirits!
"Ugh!" The sound of vomiting came from the side, and Zhao Changhe woke up. Sisi was vomiting next to him, extremely miserable: "Master, please spare me, it's too disgusting..."
"No..." Zhao Changhe asked strangely: "What are you looking at when you are so full?"
Sisi vomited and froze for a moment. Oops... I also want to find the treasure of evil spirits. Can I tell you?
She pretended to continue vomiting and was out of breath, and it took her a long time to find an excuse: "I took a look out of curiosity, and it smells so bad..."
"Okay." Zhao Changhe shoveled the soil back and filled it in again, stood up and stretched: "Let's go, we got nothing."
Sisi followed closely behind, complaining: "Just say that there is nothing interesting about a rotting corpse, I have to come!"
"Yeah." Zhao Changhe looked around at the scenery, listening to the distant roars, and chuckled: "So they just let us watch."
Sisi: "?"
"Hey, Sisi..."
"Huh?"
"You have been in the Tang family for a long time, so you should know the distribution of power in Gusu, right? What kind of family is the Lu family?"
Sisi lowered her head in pain, "Why have I been here so long? I was kissing you a few days ago." Fortunately, she arrived in Gusu two days earlier than Zhao Changhe, and she had a rough understanding of the basic situation: "The Lu family is a big family after the Tang family. Lu Shaoxiong is just one of the young masters. There are still many masters in the family. The Lu family The head of the family is even more of a master of the Nine Heavens."
"I don't remember anyone named Lu in the list of people in heaven and earth."
"...the Tang family only has one Tang leader, who is not at home yet." Sisi was really worried that Zhao Changhe would start asking questions about other families again, and she really didn't understand, so she quickly said: "I She is just a little maid. If the master wants to know the specific situation, he should ask Master Tang. Maybe there are some hidden masters in each family. What does a little maid know?"
"No one knows whether each family has hidden masters, but if my guess is not wrong, there may be madmen who will appear one after another in the city..."
Sisi was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to ask, she heard someone running on the street saying, "Have you heard? The third son of the Gu family is also going crazy!"
There was an explosion on the street, and many people were asking: "No way! Could it be that Mr. Gu was infected when he went to visit Mr. Lu?"
"I don't know, why didn't those nuns get infected? Oh, even if it was the person Mr. Lu killed before, there must be a source of infection, right?"
"Is there any other place where you got it? Where did Mr. Gu go before?"
"What else do those young masters do besides looking for flowers and willows every day? Don't tell me that this thing is actually a disease of flowers and willows, right?"
"God knows!"
The two of them slowly walked through the street amidst the heated discussions in the streets. Sisi looked at Zhao Changhe as if he were a god: "Master, how do you know?"
"Oh, isn't this normal? Since the first person is infected, there must be a second one. If the source is not found, it will definitely continue to spread. Why do you have such a brain as Tang Buqi? ?"
Sisi: "..."
She didn't believe that Zhao Changhe made this judgment because of this. He must have discovered something.
Sisi was so angry that her teeth itched, everyone was watching it together, how come she didn’t notice it? By the way, didn’t you fail to recognize my identity? Did you really think I was a maid? Then why not tell your maid the inside story?
Is it because the maid you just took in is not trustworthy enough?
She worked up her emotions for a while, made a fawning smile, and said in a sweet voice: "Master..."
Zhao Changhe looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile: "Huh?"
"Where are we going now? Master, are you tired? Do you want Sisi to give you a squeeze on your shoulders? Sisi's shoulders will feel so comfortable..."
"Well, let's stop pinching my shoulders for now." Zhao Changhe said leisurely: "Isn't it unlucky to have just dug a grave? I have to go back and take a shower. Do you want to take care of me?"
Sisi is stupid there.
Then he seemed to remember something and secretly glanced at the dragon bird on Zhao Changhe's back, bowing his head shyly: "That's what Sisi should do."
Zhao Changhe almost stopped laughing, suppressing a weird smile and speeding up his pace.
"Master, wait for me!" Sisi Pidianpian chased after her, acting more and more into the drama.
Zhao Changhe suddenly stopped, but Sisi passed him by. She suddenly stopped and turned around to take a look, only to see Zhao Changhe unsheathing his dragon bird and facing behind her with a frown. Cut it over.
A black shadow made a very elegant arc, avoiding the knife, and landed on the side eaves. He said in shock: "Brother Zhao, I don't mean any harm, and I'm not here for you. You are like this." The vigilance is too... too heavy."
But it was Ji Chengkong.
Zhao Changhe sheathed his sword and said calmly: "Walking on the rivers and lakes, without any caution, the grave grass is three feet high...Brother Ji suddenly approached my maid, what do you want?"
Ji Chengkong looked Sisi up and down, thoughtfully: "The back looks like an acquaintance, come over and take a closer look... Since she is Brother Zhao's maid, I may have made a mistake. I'm sorry."
Sisi's heart was in her throat, but Zhao Changhe waved his hands as if he didn't care: "Since it's a misunderstanding, forget it, why did Brother Ji come to Suzhou?"
Ji Chengkong said angrily: "I went to Yangzhou and Gusu originally to find someone, but I just had itchy hands and loved stealing, so I fell into the hands of you and Wan Dongliu."
Zhao Changhe said: "I wonder what the rules are in your sect? Does stealing things just depend on your preference, or do you also accept tasks, such as if I hire you to steal something?"
Ji Chengkong laughed: "First of all, it depends on whether the employer is satisfied with it, and secondly on whether the things stolen are interesting. If a random passerby asks me to steal boring money, then I will have to steal his money first. , it’s a lot of fun.”
Zhao Changhe found it quite interesting: "What about me?"
"You..." Ji Chengkong looked him over and said with a smile: "Based on those few words on the road the day before yesterday, you can, it just depends on what you stole."
Zhao Changhe looked around and whispered: "Stealing information about the Lu family, such as whether there is a heavily guarded forbidden area, and if so, does it require a token or a password to enter the forbidden area, or can it only rely on face... This answer Information, are you interested, Brother Ji?”
Sisi listened with her ears propped up, and Zhao Changhe pressed her behind him and pushed her aside.
Sisi: "..."
Ji Chengkong thought for a while: "I am interested in finding out the secrets, but the Lu family is a bit boring... What interesting things can a family that is not even top in the area have?"
"Well, what if I said there might be a young master in the Lu family stealing from the stepmother?"
Ji Chengkong clapped his hands hard: "I did it!"
Zhao Changhe smiled and stuffed a banknote: "This is the deposit. No matter whether we can find out the news or not, this belongs to Brother Ji. If you really find out anything, come to the Tang family to find me. There will be more Thank you for the gift. ”
